Salat | The Islamic Prayer and Meditation 2007-08-17 15:54:00 A Muslim need not go to any Ashram (or Special Retreat) for meditation if he or she knows how to perform Salât. Salat is the formal, uniform way of prayer for whole of humanity taught by God through the last messenger, Muhammad, the praised one.Salât is a meditation of the highest order but even most Muslims have forgotten it. They read Namâz (the persian word for Salat) or recite Namâz or even offer Namâz but they do not meditate in it though it is a pre-requisite. A Salât does not even start without the state of meditation. The Prophet, peace be upon him, instructed a person in Salât to meditate upon the presence of God who is watching the devotee. A state of trance is reached when he really meditates upon it.Then comes the voice of The Word of God from the lips of the Imam (person who leads the prayer in a gathering). If he really started Salât with a state of meditation, the voice of the Imam seems to be coming from a spiritual source. The words of the Qur'ân work as sug Read more:Islamic

Esoteric Spiritual Symbolism of Miraj | the mystic ascent of holy Prophet 2007-08-17 00:44:00 Let us try to understand the spiritual symbolism of Mi'raj - Spiritual Ascension of the Prophet
, upon him be boundless bliss and draw inspiration there from:The 'Journey by night' is symbolic of the Inner Journey undertaken in a night meditation, a journey away from the 'Sacred Mosque' (Kabaa - outer Mosque) towards the inner Sacred Mosque (Inner Dome or the Heart).Riding on the Buraq is symbolic to riding on the Nafs (ego or mind, which is in it's base form is animal and an enemy, but in it's higher form - when tamed and transformed through spiritual practice - grows wings and ascends and acts as a vehicle to the Divine); however, the mind through the process of Zikr, Divine Remembrance can only go upto the threshold of the Divine - it has to be dropped at that point. Being guided by Gabriel is the upward pull of the Divine Force - Divine Grace.The experiences that took place until the point of final realization (the point of final ascension) are the thought forms and then
Sri Sri Ramakrishna Paramahansa, the Sufi and Islamic Mysticism 2007-08-16 01:10:00 It was in the course of his practice of Islam that the 19th Century contemplative Ramakrishna Paramahansa (1836-1886) had one of his remarkable visions: "I was meditating under the banyan tree when I was shown a Mussalman (a Muslim). He came to me with rice in an earthen plate. The Mother (Kali) showed me that there exists only One and not two. It is Satchidananda (Truth - Knowledge - Bliss - Absolute, Brahman) alone that has taken various forms; He alone has become the world and its living beings"Ramakrishna was initiative into Islamic
practice by a devout Sufi Govinda Rai. He repeated the holy name of Allah and recited the namaz (the formal prayer of Islam); the Hindu mode of though vanished from his mind during this period, which culminated in his vision. As his disciple Mahendra observed: "The mighty river of Islam also led him back to the Ocean of the Absolute"Ramakrishna's life is unique in the annals of religious experience. Although born to an orthodox Hindu Brahmin

Secret of True Dreams | The Taste of Hidden Things: Images on the Sufi Path 2007-08-21 21:27:00 A God who cannot be imagined does manifest Himself in visible symbols, and the visible symbols are real manifestations of God, and to grasp them one must have imagination.- Thomas MertonDreams
, Sufis say, speaking of "true dreams" (ar-ru'yâ as-sâliha), are symbolic messages which arise from the knowledge hidden in the center of being. In the wilderness of unknowing through which the seeker travels, these encoded messages give a forecast and a foretaste of things to come. They are often the only indication which points in the direction the seeker needs to proceed. Not all dreams are "true dreams"; most dreams are spun, Sufis say, by the needs of the lower self, or by the mind churning the events of the day. Such dreams are usually confused and fragmented, and are characteristically called "dreams in confusion" (adghâth al-ahlâm).But occasionally there appears a dream, or a series of dreams, which bears the hallmark of a true knowledge, a knowledge which, though concealed from mind Read more:Hidden

Sultan Bahu, the king among mystics | Andar Hu te Bahar Hu: Hu is within, Hu is without 2007-08-19 20:06:00 Hazrat Sultan
Bahu was one of the outstanding Sufi Saints of the Indian subcontinent - the part of which is now Pakistan. His admirers gave him the title 'king among mystics' (Sultan-ul-Arifeen). Nevertheless, a detailed account of his life is not available. No mention is made in any book about the date of Bahu's birth. Most writers agree that he died in 1691. As they also mention that he was 63 years old when he died, it can be reckoned that he was born in 1628 or 1629. It was his mother who called him Bahu, a name full of meaning. Ba means 'with' and Hu means 'God'. The name thus means 'united with God'.Bahu never went to school and instead received his early education at home. Despite his lack of formal education he is held in high esteem because of his inner realisation and spiritual insight. Bahu says in one of his Persian verses that, although he did not receive any grounding in external knowledge, his soul has been purified by inner knowledge. It is noted that Bahu wrot Read more:within
Prayer | from Conference of the Birds 2007-08-19 10:56:00 God said to David:“Tell my servants prayerShould be creation’s all-consuming care;Though hell were not his fearnot heaven his goal,The Lord should wholly occupy man’s soul.But if the sun did not light up the day,They would not think of Me, nor ever prayTheir prayers know nothingof love’s selfless pain;Not love inspires thembut mere lust for gain.True prayer seeks God alone; its motives startDeep in the centre of a contrite heart.Tell them to turn from all that is not Me;To worship none but God continuously;To heap together all the world can show;To break it piece by piece and blow by blow;To burn these fragments in one vivid flash,And scatter on the winds the swirling ash –When they have done this they will understandThe ash they grasped for with each greedy hand.”If it is paradise for which you prayYou can be sure that you have lost your way.- Conference of the Birds

Gifts - A Sufi Perspective | Anab Whitehouse 2007-08-26 23:05:00 Mysticism concerning the issue of spiritual gifts | loans from GodA person who truly is in love does not spend time wondering what gifts the beloved will bring. All thoughts and anticipations concern only the presence of the beloved. To long for anything other than the beloved, is to bring into question the sincerity of one's love.Spiritual gifts from God to the Sufs are in the form of various extraordinary powers. For example, among these powers are: healing; seeing the future; witnessing events hundreds and thousands of miles away; reading the Tablet of Fate, as well as writing new entries into that Tablet; breaking the norms or laws which usually govern nature; and telepathic communication (both sending and receiving).There are certain people who hear about these sort of powers, and they begin to drool with desire to possess such abilities. They want to know where they can sign up. What these people do not understand is the Sufi path, ultimately, is no more about powers than it is Read more:Gifts

As-salaam aleikum | peace be upon you 2007-08-24 08:53:00 1.As-salaam aleikum,peace be upon you.When this phrase is uttered it is of itself a prayer. When it becomes a mere empty greeting of courtesy, it loses all its baraka (magnetism, blessing).It is the basis of meditation and devotion and concentation. It is the beginning and end of all things and not just a refuge to fall back on in times of troubles; it is a refuge and more than a refuge.- Murshid: A personal memoir of life of American Sufi Samuel L. Lewis by Mansur JohnsonAmong the teachings that the Last Messenger of God, Prophet Muhammad taught was the greetings of peace, As-salaam aleikum (also written as as-salamu aleikum) which can be translated as Peace be with you or Peace be upon you. This infact was not a new thing or a new invention, the very salutation of peace was also invoked by the blessed Prophet, Jesus Christ and its still there in the New Testament. In the final chapters of Luke, John where Jesus re-appears to his disciples after his alleged crucifixion, he greets the
Nature of Happiness and Perception 2007-08-23 22:37:00 nature of happiness | If a man thinks that his happiness is due to external causes and his possessions, it is reasonable to conclude that his happiness must increase with the increase of possessions and diminish in proportion to their diminution. Therefore if he is devoid of possessions, his happiness should be nil.What is the real experience of man? Does it conform to this view? In deep sleep the man is devoid of possessions, including his own body. Instead of being unhappy he is quite happy. Everyone desires to sleep soundly. The conclusion is that happiness is inherent in man and is not due to external causes. One must realise his Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.nature of perception | Whatever state one is in, the perceptions partake of that state. The explanation is that in the waking state (jagrat) the gross body perceives gross names and forms; in swapna (the dream state) the mental body perceives the mental creations in their manifold forms and names; in t Read more:Perception

Laylatul Baraah (Shab-e-Barat) | The Blessed Night of Deliverance 2007-08-28 03:04:00 "God Almighty looks upon all those created by Him in the middle Night
of Sha'ban and forgives all those created by Him, except the one who associates partners with Him or the one who has malice in his heart". - Prophet Muhammad1.Of the nights in a year there are six which may be marked out from the average run for their grandeur and majesty, serenity and sacredness. These are Shab-e-Qadr (Night of Power), Shab-e-Miraj (Night of Ascension), the two nights of Eids (Festival), the Night of Arafat (Great Gathering) and Shab-e-Barat (Night of Deliverance). On these auspicious Nights are a person' s prayers, his outpouring of the heart's sentiments, the reverential expression of the soul's sincerest desires before its Maker, never fail to evoke the most coveted response from Benign Providence. The glorious night of the 15th of Sha'ban, the eight month of the Islamic year, known as Laylatul Baraah (Laylatul Baraat, Shab-e-Barat, also written as Shab-e-Berat).Shab-E-Barat means the night Read more:Blessed

Saint Augustine | Confessions | on Love 2007-09-02 09:09:00 "O Lord, do I love Thee? Thou didst strike on my heart with Thy word and I loved Thee .... But what do I love when I love Thee?Not the beauty of bodies nor the loveliness of seasons, nor the radiance of the light around us - so gladsome to our eyes, nor the sweet melodies of songs of every kind, nor the fragrance of flowers and ointments and spices, nor manna and honey, nor limbs delectable for fleshly embraces. I do not love these things when I love my God.And yet I love a light and a voice and a fragrance and a food and an embrace when I love my God, who is a light, a voice, a fragrance, a food, and an embrace to my inner man ... This it is that I love when I love my God ...That same voice speaks indeed to all men, but only they understand it who join that voice, heard from outside, to the truth that is within them. And the truth says to me: "Neither heaven nor earth nor any body is thy God." Their own nature says the same.They see that the substance of a part is less than that of th Read more:Saint

Self-inquiry | Ramana Maharshi's teachings 2007-09-01 01:12:00 Sri Ramana’s (1879-1950) central teaching is: Self-inquiry. Instead of wanting to know this and that, seek to know the Self. Ask ‘Who am I?’ instead of asking about a hundred other things. Self-inquiry ought to be the easiest of all tasks. But it seems to be the most difficult because we have become strangers to our Self. What one has to do is simple - to abide as the Self. This is the ultimate Truth. This is one’s eternal, natural, inherent state. On account of ignorance we identify ourselves with the not-I.The most subtle of all these identifications is with the ego. Let us search for the root of the ego. Where from does this pseudo-I arise? At the end of this quest we shall find that the ego disappears letting the eternal Self shine. So the best discipline is the inquiry: ‘Who am I?’ This is the greatest japa. This is the true pranayama.. the thought ‘I am not the body’ (naham) is exhalation (rechaka);. the inquiry ‘Who am I?’ (koham) is inhalation (puraka);. the

May peace and freedom find its place in Myanmar | in solidarity with our spiritual brothers and sisters, the Burmese monks and nuns 2007-09-26 23:47:00 “May we be completely free from all danger, may we be completely free from all grief, may we be completely free from poverty, may we have peace in heart and mind.” - is what a banner reads among hundreds and thoudsands of Buddhist Monks and Nuns in the street of Yangon- the capital of Myanmar, who are coming out from pagodas and monastries demanding for peace, justice and freedom. "They are extraordinary images: thousands of monks and nuns marching for democracy on the streets of Burma's cities. The shaved heads, the naked shoulders, the richly coloured cotton robes: all symbols of one of the most ascetic and enduring of monastic traditions in the world. The Buddhist sangha - the collective term for these monks - is the only institutional structure outside government control which has managed to survive four decades of military dictatorship." writes Madeleine Bunting in Guardian. According to report so far 3 monks are shot dead by the government force and hundreds are injured and

Learning Quran with Arabic word roots and meanings | The Quran Institute, Inc 2007-09-25 09:54:00 The best among you are those who learn Quran
and teach it. - Saying of the Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peaceOne of the best way to learn The Quran is to understand the arabic with its words' root meanings. Quran having multiple layers of meanings, is close to impossible to translate while doing justice to its beauty and eloquence. Some Arabic
terms are difficult to translate and don't have close English language equivalents. For the non-Arabic speaking people (like me) who have always wanted to understand the meaning and beauty of Quran was looking to learn the Quranic Arabic with its root meaning. It helps on a number of ground.Its easier to remember the words as one root will enable you to know meanings of many words which come from the same source. The sound and formation of the words, once you get familiar, helps you understand other derived words and their meaning very easily.For example (credit), the root k-t-b has the basic meaning of marking, inscribing or writing.

Ramadan Roundup | Personal Experiences from Blogsphere 2007-09-25 00:42:00 One of the most beautiful and inspiring ramadan fasting experience i stumbled upon recently was that of Seeker in her blog, This, That and The Other.She writes:Today is Day 6 of Ramadan. My first Ramadan. Not the first I've known of, but my first fast. Before I was an observer. Now I am a part of this amazing tradition. ... The first day I was dizzy and lightheaded a few times. Now I just feel incredible. My mind is more peaceful than I can ever remember. My breath is slower. My sleep is better. Like the artist mentioned in a BeliefNet article, I feel transparent and hollow, cleaned out of all that is unessential.And I am hungry.Not for food. You thought I was going to say food. Nope.No, what I am hungry for are answers. And inspiration. And a clarity of purpose. What am I doing here in Ramadan? What am I to learn? How can G-d use my hunger and thirst to teach me things I need to learn? How can I understand the lessons and make the changes I need to make? And where am I going after t Read more:Personal
Practical Steps to get Close to God | teachings of Imam Fode Drame 2007-09-24 21:53:00 The Quran: Fatiha (1:5) Thee alone do we worship; and unto Thee alone do we turn for aid.Ghafir (40:13) HE IT IS who shows you His wonders [in all nature], and sends down sustenance for you from the sky: but none bethinks himself [thereof] save those who are wont to turn to God.Saba (34:46) Say: “I counsel you one thing only: Be [ever conscious of] standing before God, whether you are in the company of others or alone ...”Ra’d (13:28) those who believe, and whose hearts find their rest in the remembrance of God - for, verily, in the remembrance of God [men's] hearts do find their rest.It is important to get close to God first before we ask Him for whatever we want. We need to get close to Him until you ask Allah as though you see Him. In order to achieve this closeness with God, you first need Peace and Tranquility.1) Tranquility (Sukoon) > 2) Remembrance (Dhikr) > 3) Concern for Creation (Fikr) > 4) Thankfulness (Shukr ) > 5) Worship (Ibadah)The first step to tranquility in y Read more:Practical

Rumi on Fasting and Jesus on Spiritual Nourishment 2007-09-22 14:02:00 There's hidden sweetness in the stomach's emptiness.We are lutes, no more, no less. If the soundboxes stuffed full of anything, no music.If the brain and belly are burning clean with fasting,every moment a new song comes out of the fire.The fog clears, and new energy makes you runup the steps in front of you.Be emptier and cry like reed instruments cry.Emptier, write secrets with the reed pen.When you're full of food and drink,Satan sits where your spirit should,an ugly metal statue in place of the Kaaba.When you fast, good habits gatherlike friends who want to help.Fasting
is Solomon's ring.Don't give into some illusion and lose your power,but even if you have, if you've lost all will and control,they come back when you fast,like soldiers appearing out of the ground,pennants flying above them.A table descends to your tents, Jesus

life should be measured in breaths, not in years 2007-09-20 08:20:00 Kum, Kum ya habibikaan tanam!Awake, awake my friendhow you sleep!This is the state of man. We're in a condition of (semi)sleep.There are those who sat in my old house for years and years before me, and now they're gone. There wil be those who lived in our appartments before us, and they're no longer there. Now it's ours, and another time it will be someone's else. Life as we know it wil end. The question is, can we grow past the point of decay? Faith in Allah is an innoculation against the pain and disease of the world. Faith in Allah is a protective cloak. I'm saying Allah. You can use the term God, Gott, Dios, whatever, as long as you mean the One God Who has no partner.The life Allah gave us should be measured in breaths, not in years.Because from infancy to old age, we learn, and we mature.

What is Fana? What is Baqa? | Sufi Wisdom 2007-09-19 09:22:00 Remembrance of the saints causes God’s mercy to descend.:: The Funeral of Khwaja BaqibillahOne of the mureeds (disciples) of Khwaja Baqibillah, may God sanctify his secrets, asked him the meanings of the Sufi terms ‘fana’ [annihilation in God] and ‘baqa’ [Everlasting subsistence in God]. The Shaykh said, "When I die, ask this question to the person who reads my funeral prayer." The Shaykh had left a condition that only a person who has never missed a single tahajjud prayer (a superogatory prayer in the middle of the night in addition to the five canonical prayers a Muslim must perform in a day) in his life should read my funeral prayer (namaz-e-janazah) and when this condition was read out during his funeral everyone present lowered their heads and no one dared to come forward to read his namaz-e-janazah.Finally a man, his face veiled, came forward and read the funeral prayer. After the prayer as the veiled man walked off the mureed remembered his Shaykh's answer and ran to Read more:Wisdom
Ramadan Hadith | the Prophet's blessed words 2007-09-18 09:34:00 Whoever fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. Whoever prays during the nights in Ramadan with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven. And he who passes Lailat al-Qadr (the Night of Power) in prayer with faith and seeking his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven - (Bukhari, Muslim).Every action of the childrens of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving ten times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord. (Bukhari)The fast and the Qur'an are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: 'O Lord, I prevented him from his food and desires during the day.
