Akhlaaq-Tasawwuf

The “Qabar-city”

Popularity is of no use in the "Qabar-city",

There, we just need to have humility, 

Which is filled with sincerity, 

To live a life of eternity.

[English version of "Qabarcité" – Al Jamiat – Vol.5 No.6]

Become for Allah Ta’ala

You must become for someone who can help you everywhere and in all circumstances. Someone whom none can prevent from helping you if he wants to help. Someone who has the capacity to help you. Someone who surpasses everything. Someone who knows everything, has the capacity to do everything and can help you everywhere and can respond to your call in all situations. Who is this someone?

The kite

Your life is like a kite. As long as it is tied to a rope and it is in the hand of people, it continues to fly. And people keep on appreciating it. Despite its head spin and its turning left and right, it keeps maintaining the altitude. But as soon as it breaks the line, it becomes very easy prey for all those who want to cause it harm. First of all, it falls into the prickle that tears it up. Children further tear it apart. And finally it lands in the bin where the garbage collector picks it up and disposes of it in order to have it burned. 

Jealousy

"Jealousy consumes good actions just like fire consumes wood." (Abu Daawud)

[English version of "La jalousie" – Al Jamiat – Vol.5 No.5]

A colourless drawing

You are a colourless drawing

Without the love of your Creator

A love that surpasses everything

Which makes you become mad without being mad

Which makes you see Him everywhere

With an eye that does not see at all.

You feel yourself someone

Which keeps your heart always young.

ABASED

Muslim must have disgust for sins

He must feel abased

As if he is mingling in impurity

Otherwise, without doubt after his demise

His intoxication and his dream will be broken 

That he has let time go  

Without having done sufficient good works

Sincerity

We must be sincere in life especially towards the Creator who has created us and who has granted us everything that we need. Otherwise, our dishonesty can lead us very far. And sometimes this can be irreparable. Sincerity towards the Creator demands that we worship Him alone and that we do not allow anything to surpass His commandments. We must love Him more than everyone else. That is, we should not please someone by displeasing Him. Even if the entire Dunya opposes us, still we should continue to remain in His obedience.
