… I shall love him …

Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu ‘anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said:

Allah the Almighty has said: ‘Whosoever acts with enmity towards a closer servant of Mine (wali), I will indeed declare war against him. Nothing endears My servant to Me than doing of what I have made obligatory upon him to do. And My servant continues to draw nearer to Me with supererogatory (nawafil) prayers so that I shall love him. When I love him, I shall be his hearing with which he shall hear, his sight with which he shall see, his hands with which he shall hold, and his feet with which he shall walk. And if he asks (something) of Me, I shall surely give it to him, and if he takes refuge in Me, I shall certainly grant him it.’

[Al-Bukhari]

Subhan’Allah wa Alhumdulillah wa ShukarAllah for this timely reminder.

Live Transmission of The Dowra Programme, Tarim

Please forgive this student for the late posting but we only found out today…

The Dowra Programme in Tarim, Yemen, is being transmitted live on the www.alhabibomar.com site. For those, like myself, who couldn’t attend the Dowra in Tarim this year, the opportunity to at least sit in the class and gain teachings from the Habaib will no doubt be most welcomed.

The Trodden Path - Sacred Retreat

Subhan’Allah we’re fortunate enough to have the Habaib visit us again this year. There’s so much to learn from our teachers and this is one of those opportunities every person should strive to attend, unless Allah pulls them back for another reason.

Insha’Allah clicking on the poster will direct you to more details about the retreat and the registration form…

There’s a possibility that this student may not be able to go to this excellent retreat of knowledge but we hope that others can benefit and will think of this pauper in their duas. Please spread the word and take up the opportunity to learn, if you can do so.

 

The Old Man and The King

Habib Ali Jifri teaches us an important lesson on giving advice with sincerity in ones heart as well as the need for humility and humbleness. Sidi Khalil Abu Asmaa translates. May Allah increase them both in Birr and Tawfeeq. Allahumma Ameen.

…Subhan’Allah, really love this teaching.

 

Importance of Salutation…

Shukar’Allah for this reminder ~ Al-Qur’an, 24:61 (An-Noor [The Light]):

It is no fault in the blind nor in one born lame, nor in one afflicted with illness, nor in yourselves, that ye should eat in your own houses, or those of your fathers, or your mothers, or your brothers, or your sisters, or your father’s brothers or your father’s sisters, or your mother’s brothers, or your mother’s sisters, or in houses of which the keys are in your possession, or in the house of a sincere friend of yours: there is no blame on you, whether ye eat in company or separately. But if ye enter houses, salute each other - a greeting of blessing and purity as from Allah. Thus does Allah make clear the signs to you: that ye may understand.
