Nasheeda: Elahi - Khalaqy

It is said that these words originated from Imam Ali rathiya Allaho 3anh, it is a do3a2 i believe, correct me if am wrong (it could be a rumor).

But these words are beautiful, and heart warming, bring forth tears to the eyes of a wonderer.

It is as we say monajaaaah , wanting asking, forgiveness, complaining to, opening heart to, GOD

لك الحمد يا ذا الجود و المجد و العلا ..... تباركت تعطي من تشاء وتمنع

إلهي و خلاقي و حرزي و موئلي .....إليك لدي الإعسار و اليسر أفزع

إلهي لئن جلت و جمَّت خطيئتي .....فعفوك عن ذنبي أجل و أوسع

إلهي لئن أعطيت نفسي سؤلها .....فها أنا في أرض الندامة أرتع

إلهي تري حالي و فقري و فاقتي .....و أنت مناجاتي الخفية تسمع

إلهي فلا تقطع رجائي و لا تُزْغْ .....فؤادي فلي في سيب جودك مطمع

إلهي لئن خيّبتني أو طردتني .....فمن ذا الذي أرجو و من لي يشفع

إلهي أجرني من عذابك إنني .....أسيرٌ ذليلٌ خائفٌ لك أخضع

إلهي فآنسني بتلقين حجتي .....إذا كان لي في القبر مثوي و مضجع

إلهي لئن عذبتني ألف حجة .....فحبل رجائي منك لا يتقطّع

إلهي أذقني طعم عفوك يوم لا ..... بنون و لا مال هنالك ينفع

إلهي إذا لم ترعني كنت ضائعا ..... و إن كنت ترعاني فلست أضيع

إلهي إذا لم تعف عن غير محسن ..... فمن لمسيء بالهوي يتمتع

إلهي لئن فرَّطت في طلب التقي ..... فها أنا إثر العفو أقفو و أتبع

إلهي لئن أخطأت جهلا فطالما ..... رجوتك حتي قيل ها هو يجزع

إلهي ذنوبي جازت الطود و اعتلت ..... و صفحك عن ذنبي أجل و أرفع

إلهي ينجي ذكر طولك لوعتي ..... و ذكر الخطايا العين مني تدمع

إلهي أنلني منك روحا و رحمة ..... فلست سوي ابواب فضلك أقرع

إلهي لئن أقصيتني أو طردتني ..... فما حيلتي يا رب أم كيف أصنع

إلهي حليف الحب بالليل ساهر ..... ينادي و يدعو و المغفل يهجع

و كلهم يرجو نوالك راجيا ..... لرحمتك العظمي و في الخلد يطمع

إلهي يمنيني رجائي سلامة ..... و قبح خطيئاتي عليَّ يشيّع

إلهي فإن تعف فعفوك منقذي ..... و إلا فبالذنب المدمر أصرع

إلهي بحق الهاشمي و آله ..... و حرمة ابراهيم خلك أضرع

إلهي فانشرني علي دين احمد ..... تقيا نقيا قانتا لك أخشع

و لا تحرمنّي يا إلهي و سيدي ..... شفاعته الكبري فذاك المشفَّع

و صلِّ عليه ما دعاك موحّدٌ ..... و ناجاك أخيار ببابك رُكّعُ

Take Refuge in the All Mighty

Do Know this Life is playing, fooling around, all gliters, competition in material things among you, and an increase in ofspring ....

A waste ..... what is better than this?


Listen to this kid recite .....

Kids tend to read from a pure heart, thats why I posted the previous post... and now this one .... dont forget me in your prayers .... Brothers and Sisters in islam......

Tajweed

Asalam A'laykom wa rahmato Allah wa barakato ...
I pray God accepts our fasting and all our good deeds and forgive us for the bad ones.

Its been a long time since I posted ... I been busy ... hopefuly with useful things,

What brought me back is the following link (i would like to share it with the world), it is amazing, and reminds me of comity, would you like to learn tajweed?

Jameeyat Ihya'a Al Turath .... they have classes, just go there and sign up, they have a branch in Qurtoba if am not mistaken. Allah yaghfirlina ajma3een,

This clips makes you speechless, tearful, like you wasted your time not learning Islam (look at the kid how he passed us), and have an out of this world feeling when you hear these words recited by him (When you view it Say Mash'alah La Qiwata ila Bil Allah - La Elaha ila Allah- pray to make him a great wealth to his parents on judgement day o 3asa Allah ebarikla):

العظمة --- God's Greatness (in arabic)

A friend has posted a few words, that gave me a heavy meaning. That person, wrote about keeping up with the 5 prayers, especially the Fajer Prayer. Which is the hardest of the 5 in our days. In the Quran, Allah sibhana said, 'Quran Al-Fajer is witnessed (mash.hooda)' i.e. witnessed by God and his Angels... It is a great deal, but doesn't mean its more important than the other prayers.

So what fuels us to get up? It is God's Greatness, wanting his favor, his Rithaa, wanting his love, wanting him to forgive us, to give us, ....

It is the heart that is hanging in the heavens, wanting, prayering, tearful, Sajidah, Smiling, at Peace ... but when this heart goes down to earth, and is content of 'living on earth forever' is when we fade back, is when we should wake up and go back up to the heavens, we are falling back into ''alghafla'', so we miss our prayers, how can we? I urge to find a group of friends, that help you with your Religion, remind you, be with you. Su7ba Sal7a. (misti3id to guide ily yabi, e.g. jam3iyat i7ya2 il torath).

In the Quran, there are metaphors and examples given, of things in heaven similar to things on earth, fruits, palaces, and so on, but of greatness nothing like we seen. But what is greater than heaven? IT is to see God's Face 'Wijoohon yawma ithin nathirah' 'Ela Rabiha Nathira', that day when the Believers witness God's Face and light... this is the greatest prize... Why isn't it not mentioned alot in the Quran?

Usualy people are after ''desires, wants'' and so the Quran uses that to urge people to go on the straigt path, promising them heaven, fruits, women, annd all they desire... ''targheeeeeeeb bil janah''. But looking at God, there is nothing like it, nothing like him, and his NOOR is far greater than anything, me writing about it can't even come close to it. Nothing Like it!

But you might feel the happiness and ''lath.aaaa'' of praying, when you have ''khoshoo'a'' and your focused and in presence with God... you feel that sweetness. As hasan Al basry said (a great scholar) ''i'd rather pray 2 raka's than to go inside heaven, saaajid infront of my Lord'' after all he created me, he gave me, and what sweetness i find in my sijood to him.

And Boy how much i feel guilty when i miss a prayer, how much i feel sad when i miss a prayer. How can I? Walah 3aib.

thus, we have to know our LORD. "Allaho Laaaaa Elaha ila Hooo Al 7ayo Al qayoom" this is the Greatest Ayah, it has the description of God in it, Get to know him, and when you know him, you wont miss a prayer, he is to great to pass.

Imam Malik ibno Dinar said "if people knew their Lord, and Know him well, they would not sin" --- but we are imperfect, and we sin, and God loves his servents that are TAWABEEEN, that repent from there sins.

Imagine if you have an important meeting, Imagine if you have an important venture with someone, you wont miss it, you'll be on your feet, what about the Lord of the Universe? You will find sweetness in it. He created All, and Knows All.

Do you feel the fabric of cloths on your back? Who really gave it to you? Who gave you what you have? See the bird flying in the Sky, who taught it to fly?

Can't you be a good '3abd', servent of your Lord?

Listen to this audio I have linked to this topic, listen well :)

Listen to the part of Ali - Zain il Abideen ... (grandson of the prophet alayh il salat wil salam).

And my Last prayers: An Al hamdililah rab Al alameen.

وتذرف العينان من الدمع

ان القلب ليخشع ... و ان العين لتدمع ... و العقل تصدع

ياويلتي .. يا لها من كلمات و كبف لا يؤمنون



دعاء: الهلم يا مقلب القلوب ثبت قلبي على دينك, الهلم يا مصرف القلوب صرف قلبي على طاعتك

دعاء: الهلم لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد اذا هديتنا وهب لنا من لدنك رحمه انك انت الوهاب

لقد من الله علينا منا عظيم, الحمد لله الذي هدانا

Qa3b ibno Malik

Bisim Allah al rahman al raheem, wa Al hamdo lil'lah rabi al 3alameen, wa salato wa salam 3ala nabiyina.

Asalam a'alaykom wa ra7mato Allah wa barakto,
------------------------------------------------------------

Have you heard the story of Qa'ab ibno Malik?

In brief, he was suppose to go on ''jihad'' with the prophet (s) but his ''nafs'' his self and the ''shaitan'' made him say ''i can catch up, am not far'' etc... until he couldn't catch up and was left behind. That is a major major disobidiance to the prophet. So when the prophet (s) came back, he was smiling an angry smile at Qa'ab. Qa'ab told him the truth, and prophet (s) said ''and that man, has been truthful to God and his prophet, now get up until God passes his judgement on you''.

What was his ''kafaraaah'' or ''punishment''?

For 30 days no one talked to him and he was ''an outcast''. It was heavy on his heart, at times he cried... Imagine the prophet (s) doesn't talk to you, more dear to you than yourself. As we say, it is a huge ''bala'a" a huge heavey burden on one's heart. It was a Tawbah he was going through. One day a man came and said ''QA'AB IBNO MALIK, where can i find QA'AB IBNO MALIK?" Messenger from the Sham king asking him to join him, knowing his friends have left him, it was another ''test'' another ''bala'a'' to Qa'ab ibno malik.


Imagine the heaviness on Malik.

On the 40th day (i think), he was asked to ''seperate from his wife''. He asked '' divorce her !!!?" Well it was an order from the heavens, so he'd do it if he had too. But no, the messenger of the prophet (s), told him she has to go to her ''father's house'', not divorce, and so she did.

Imagine, no one talks to him, seperated from his family, all alone.

What a test, what a bala'a. Its part of any tawbah, to see if its truthfull.

So, on the 50th day,

Malik was sitting on the walls of the Masjid after Fajer prayer doing ''thikir''.

When the Sahaba (rathiya Allaho anhom) came running each yelling as hard as he can, but the message wasn't reaching him...

One of them had the smart idea of climbing a small hill and yelling ...

''O! QA'AB IBNO MALIK , GOOD NEWS COME (ABSHIR), your tawba is over, Allah has lifted this bala'a of of you ... ABSHIR YA QA'AB IBNO MALIK !"

Qa'ab said, when he heard it he fell on the floor and did ''sijood'' in thanks to his Lord.

He entered on the prophet (s) (ya bakhta :) ) and the prophet (s) told him your tawba is over and the Lord has brought down these verses from the heavens, being part of the quran, and they speak of your story and two other men, to be recieted till the day of judgement !

Malik was more than happy, that he wanted to give all his money as sadaqa, but the prophet (s) smiled and told him only 1/3 is enough.

All muslims go through ''bala'a'' being tested from time to time, as the prophet said, "All our situations are good, if we have bala'a or (a bad thing happening to us) we have patients and sabir, and if we get goods and great favor from our Lord we thank (nashkir) our Lord for it". Either way its a win win situation, with the ''bala'a'' giving us higher ranks and hasanat from il akhra, or judgment day.

Moral of the story:

Every TAWBAH or repetence is followed by a hard period ''bala'a'' which gets intense at times, just like a round bottle, with the head being narrow. We are inside the bottle and trapped in our ''sin'' and we repent and do tawbah and thus exit the bottle towards freedom, with a heart that day dreams in the heavens and lives in janah and not in earth. But that narrow part is the hardest times (the test) one goes through, and patients, with salat, thikir, and do'a is esstential. Malik went through it, and his reward, his story is in the quran to be recieted till judgement day ( ya bakhta, Allah eebarikla). Let us hang in there, be patient, pray, and in our hearts hold our Lord and not let our eyes from the ultimate goal, to please our creator for he is the most merciful most kind, and to reach il Janah.

Here is the ayah (surrat Al-Tawbah - verse 119):

وَعَلَى الثَّلاَثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُواْ حَتَّى إِذَا ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ وَظَنُّواْ أَن لاَّ مَلْجَأَ مِنَ اللّهِ إِلاَّ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ 118يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَكُونُواْ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ 119

May Allah make us from the ''sadiqeen'' and ''sabiqeen'' , ameen.

And my last prayers,

An il Hamdo lilah Rab Al alameen
