جو میں سر بسجدہ ہوا کبھی تو زمیں سے آنے لگی صدا تیرا دل تو ہے صنم آشنا‘ تجھے کیا ملے گا نماز میں Explanation: When I bowed myself for prostration, I heard a voice coming from the ground. It is questioning my apparent prostration before Allah while offering Salat. As apparently, I claim to worship only Allah but in fact my inward is full of many other idols.

For example, idol of knowledge, relations, condescension and comprehension. Furthermore, some people have made desires of this world and hereafter as their idols. Others run ...

کھیتیاں سرسبز   ہیں   تیری   غذا  کے   واسطے چاند, سورج اور ستارے ہیں تیری  ضیا  کے  واسطے جانور    پیدا    کیے   تیری     وفا       کے     واسطے سب  جہاں تیرے لیے   تو  خدا  کے   واسطے Explanation: The fields are flourished for your The sun, the moon and the stars are actually for your splendour.

In Arabic, infaq literally means ‘to spend’ and fi sabilillah means ‘in the way of Allah’. So, Infaq fi sabilillah is spending in the way of Allah for achieving His goodwill and consent. To categorize broadly, infaq fi sabilillah is of two types: infaq-e-wajiba and infaq-e-nafila. One of these is mandatory and the other type of spending is optional. Infaq-e-wajiba is a religious obligation for all Muslims for which the Islamic terminology is zakat. The Sufis and Fakirs call it zakat-e-sharia i.e. the zakat of sharia. Ushr is also a part of it. On the other hand, infaq-e-nafila includes all kinds of alms and charitable donations that someone gives following the Sunna of Holy Prophet out of one's own desire to ...

Allah says in Quran: اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِیْنَ Meaning: Indeed, Allah loves those who turn towards Him. (2:222) Definition of Repentance: It is very important to know why Allah has emphasized upon renunciation from wrongdoings and sins. As without knowing the true meaning of repentance, it is pointless just to utter the words of repentance. The dictionary meaning of repentance is to ‘turn back’ and ‘consult’. To elaborate the meaning of repentance Allama Raazi writes in Mukhtar as-Sahah: “Repentance means penitence or abstinence from sins, bad deeds and disobedience and turn towards the goodness and virtue”. According to sharia repentance is obedience and submission to Allah by abstaining from His disobedience, delinquency and sins. However, according to Tareeqat (Sufism) repentance infact means; فَفِرُّوْٓا اِلَی اللّٰہ Meaning: “Run towards ...

What is Faqr? My spiritual guide Sultan-ul-Ashiqeen Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman says: The literal meaning of Faqr is indigence and poverty. However, according to the Mystics it is the destination of life about which Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said the following; اَلۡفَقۡرُ فَخۡرِیۡ وَالۡفَقۡرُ مِنِّی Faqr is my pride and Faqr is from me. Certainly, Faqr is a remarkable inward rank and marvel. There is nothing comparable to it in the inward. Faqr is the eternal destiny of those people who abdicated all the luxuries of world and hereafter on the day of Divine covenant. Thus, they remained firmly devoted to the Almighty Allah only. Indeed, none of the charms and pleasures of universe could shake their steadfastness. Undoubtedly, Faqr is the ardent Divine Love. Faqr is the path ...

اے ختمِ رُسل، مکی مدنی، کونین میں تم سا کوئی نہیں ذیشان نبی ہیں سب لیکن، معراج کا دولہا کوئی نہیں Explanation: O seal of the Prophets! O master of both Makkah and Madina! There is no one in the entire cosmos and heavens as you. Though there are many Prophets but none bedecked, honoured and privileged with Miraj like you, O Prophet Mohammad! Miraj means the night ascent of Prophet Mohammad through the seven heavens to the presence of God. Moreover, this is the physical and spiritual ascent of man. The narration of Miraj never happened before that night and nor will it happen again. Hence, this is that meeting between the Lord and the slave which reveals passion of union. ...
