The Key to Happiness



Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem.

Madad Ya Sayyidi madadul Haqq. We ask that you make dua for us and give us what Allah has given you. Insha Allah we will explain what is the meaning of madad in the next post.

Before we try to do anything we must try to say Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem. Without Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem nothing will be successful. Success is with Almighty Allah and Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem is the way to Allah Almighty. Especially during the time from Fajr to sunrise we must try to say atleast 100x Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem.

Dhikrullah is going on from pre-eternal to eternity it never stops. Just like the heart never stops beating. Only when the person passes away his physical heart stop but his spiritual heart never stops. It is saying Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, continuously without stopping. We should try even though we are weak to say Dhikrullah with each inhalation and exhalation. Whether it is La ilaha il Allah, Allah Allah, Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Raheem, or anything that is a remembrance of Almighty Allah.

Salawat is also extremely important. It is a command from Allah Almighty in the Holy Quran. "In Allaha wa mala ikatahu yusalluna alan nabi ya ayuhalazina amanu sallu alaihi wa sallimu taslima". Indeed, Allah confers blessing upon the Prophet, and His angels [ask Him to do so]. O you who have believed, ask [ Allah to confer] blessing upon him and ask [ Allah to grant him] peace. Surat Al-Ahzab [33:56].

The actual key to happiness is only with Allah Almighty and our goal is His Pleasure. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

5:35
O you who have believed, fear Allah and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed. Surat Al-Ma'idah [5:35]

That is why we must have a guide that can guide us to the Holy Prophet (s) and then the Holy Prophet (s) can guide us to Allah's Divine Presence. We cannot go directly to Allah Almighty we must seek the mean of nearness to Him. The orders of Allah Almighty were revealed to the Holy Prophet (s) and the Holy Prophet (s) then instructed the Sahaba and so on. Therefore we must first try to obey. Happiness is in obedience. We should try to love because without love we cannot obey. Love is generated through dhikrullah. Allah Allah Allah Allah. We ask to stay always in the presence of our Shaykh our Guide and follow him. Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

3:31
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." Surat Al-Imran [3:31]

Subhan Allah. We must follow Sayyidina Muhammad (s) Allah Almighty has ordered us in the Holy Quran! If you love Allah follow Muhammad (s). Oh Mankind this is not even a glimpse at the station of our Holy Prophet (s) the Beloved One of Allah Almighty. 

We should try to say minimum 100x salawat/durood everyday, minimum 1500x Allah Allah. We shoud try to revive to sunnah of the Holy Prophet (s) as he said in a hadith:

“Whoever holds of to my sunnah at the time of corruption of my Ummah, will get the reward of a hundred martyrs”

Therefore we must not only follow the physical sunnahs like how to eat, sleep, wear clothes etc, but also being humble, kind hearted, nice, respectful, obedient, and loving. Then insha Allah we will attain the reward of 100 martyrs! Subhan Allah! Glory to Allah!

For the honour of the Prophet (s), the Sahaba, all the Prophets and Messengers peace be upon them, the four Imams, the Shaykhs of the Naqshbandi Way especially Khwaja Shah Bahauddin Naqshbandi (q), Sultan al Awliya Grandshaykh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani (q), Sultan al Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim ar-Rabbani (q), and to all the righteous.

Al-Fatihah.

The Story of Prophet al-Yasa'

       Allah (SWT) has mentioned him along with other prophets in soorat al-An'am, saying: "And Isma'eel, and al-Yasa', and Yoonus and Loot, and each of them We preferred above the humankind and jinn." (Qur'an 6: 86) Allah, the Exalted, has further mentioned him in Soorat Sad: "And remember Isma'eel, al-Yasa', and Dhul-Kifl; all are among the best." (Qur'an 38: 48)     Muhammad ibn Is-haq has reported al-Hasan al-Basri as saying: al-Yasa' came after Ilyas. He stayed among his people for as long as Allah willed, inviting them to the way of Allah and following the Sharia revealed to Ilyas (as), until his death. Then, evil actions spread among the people, including transgression. They even killed their prophet.     Ibn Asakir has said that his lineage was al-Yasa' ibn 'Adi ibn Shootlam ibn Afratheem ibn Yoosuf ibn Ya'qoob ibn Is-haq ibn Ibraheem. It has been said that he was the cousin of prophet Ilyas.     It has been mentio

Reality of the Awrad (Spiritual Practices)

Grand Shaykh (Shaykh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani, may Allah exalt his secret) said, " If someone reads Fatiha , he will not leave this world without attaining those Divine Favors that are hidden behind the meaning of the Fatiha which enable him to reach a state of submission to Allah, Almighty and Exalted. The blessings that Allah has sent down with the Fatiha when it was revealed to the Prophet (s) will never cease, and will last forever, with the one who recites the Fatiha. No one is able to know how much blessings there are except Allah and His Messenger (s). Whoever recites surat al-Fatiha, with the intention of sharing in these tajallis, will attain a high position and a great rank. And whoever recites without this intention, gets general Divine Favors only. This surah possesses innumerable and limitless stations (maqamat) in the Sight of Allah, Who is Powerful and Sublime. He will enter the Circle of Security in the Presence of Allah Almighty and Exalted, and he will r
