⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 On the day of Judgement the Prophet will lodge the following complaint. "Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. Today, we will discuss two ways to attract clarity our lives. The First way In  33:43 " He is the One who prays upon you, along with His angels, to bring you out of darkness and into the light. And He is ever Merciful towards the believers" This will happen when we - praise Him(Allah swt) morning and evening وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا Secondly, In 33: 56 "God and His angels prays upon the prophet. O you who believe, you shall pray upon him, and comply completely." Here, we are encouraged to pray upon the Prophet as God and His an...

"Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense." May Allah swt protect us from this and enable us to read, understand and follow the Quran only. An interesting part in this century is time travelling. We have seen it in movies, you tube and many other social media dramatising this phenomenon. Is time travel possible? Are there any references from the Reading (Quran)? The classic example of going into the future is depicted in 18:25. Its about the seven youth who wanted to safeguard their faith. A notorious King wanted everyone to acknowledge him as god. To this the seven youth ran away and sought God's help in a cave. To protect their faith! "they said: "Our Lord, bring us a mercy from Your...

⚘️It' Friday again. May Allah swt bless and give us goodness in this world and in the hereafter, and grant us Jannathul Firdous.🤲 Do you know that the Quran is a Guidance for mankind? (2:185). If that is so, we need to comply and use it as a guide to live in this temporal world. The traditional method of explanation is that Allah swt gave the Quran to the Prophet and for us to follow his way. And that the Injeel, Taura, Zaboor are for the earlier generations only. We follow the Prophet's way. Hence, we must accompany Islam with the sayings of Prophet Muhammad purportedly. 6:161 Say: "My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright system, the creed of Abraham the monotheist; he was not of the polytheists." Earlier tafsir took this as the 'Qiyam' position in our daily cycle prayers. We start our prayer from the standing position of Prophet Ibrahim (a.s). Someone has made Islam as some kind of a ritual affair- symbolic. Indeed, the religion in the si...

Ya Al Barr, we seek your forgiveness. We may have thought or did something which might have derailed us to return to You. So forgive us! Remove all our suffering instantly! And give us good happenings!  The word " بَلَاء " (bala)is wrongly translated as affiction, test or trial.  In 7.17 " بَلَاءً حَسَنًا " means good(hasan) happening. Thus "bala" means happening. Likewise the word " وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم " in 2.155. In particular the word " بْلو " ba-laam-wau which means “ happening" by good or evil”. Same with the word "فَتَنَّا" " fatana" which means fascination, attraction etc. in 20.85. And God does not need to test us as God knows our piety since our embryo stage! According to 53.32 God knows our piety.  "They avoid major sins and immorality, except for minor offences. Your Lord is with vast forgiveness. He has been fully aware of you since He initiated you from the earth, and while you were embryos in ...

Do one feels that life is becoming unbearable? Overwhelming? Everything is not going the way we wanted? And even having all the things, still feel the emptiness? These are varied forms of misery! Take action. The first step is to read the Quran with understanding.

We are pretty surprised that many Muslims still do not know that the Quran has already mentioned about the five obligatory prayers or salat. And this is very sad.  For simplicity, I have created the following google slides as reference. Blogger cannot embed interactive google slides as far as we know. Therefore, we will link to you the google slides. However, you need to have google slides account in your device. You can sign up with google account to go into google slides. We do appreciate it if you can write some comments here on the presentation and its content. 😊 The link is here

Before finding out to strengthen our relationship with God, watch this video of #maradona in action.   The world had seen #diego football, and was mesmerized by his incomparable display of impeccable talent on the field. It was an unforgettable entertainment for many during the #1986worldcup. Was he magnificent? No, this was the #handofGod . The Lord bestowed different types of talent and skill upon his creation. Without such gift of God, we wouldn't know a person like Maradona. Today, #diegoArmandoMaradona had passed away. The world mourns his death. What we do not realize is the real magnificent, The Magnificent is God Himself. No one has seen God but there are moments where God displays His Magnificence through someone or thing. The year 2020 have many opportunities for us to see God's Magnificence and His Power. Remember God Remembering God is one way to strengthen our relationship with God. However, you must understand one condition before the remembrance. Your...

It was night and I was on top of a building standing for prayer. I could see the dark sky painted across the horizon. And, I saw a giant profile of a person in the dark sky. The person was standing facing towards me like how a person stands for prayer or salat. However, his face was looking down as though he was in “qiyam” position. It was a position of reverence, respect or standing in salutation towards me. I just say “this is Jesus Christ”. I do not know why I said it was Jesus Christ. I simply know that it was him- Hazret Isa alaihis salam. Suddenly, I saw a white moon traversing across the sky and prostrating continuously. Two men appeared in white suddenly and started approaching me in a gentle manner. That is all I dreamt. I dreamt Jesus Christ in Qiyam position facing me. It is a position of respect towards me. The moon was prostrating me. As I was pondering over the dream, I remembered the following verses 12:4 to 6 in the Al Quran: When Joseph said to his father: My...

The work of Allah swt is amazing. Two weeks ago, my mother was hospitalized for giddiness. She had been suffering from diabetics for a few years. She had been on modern medication. However, she had not been getting any better. Some advised me that she had to control her eating habits. She visited the doctor two days’ ago and she was advised to continue with her medication. She has to visit the doctor in another three weeks. I am thinking of making her recite the key of the treasures of the heaven and earth recommended by our great leader Prophet Muhammadصلاح على محماد صلالة عليه وسلام . One of the benefits that you can reap from this recitation is that “Two angels are appointed to guard him (the one who recite this) day and night from his sufferings and diseases”. You can read the detail benefits of this recitation here . One interesting to note here is this. My mother cannot read the English transliteration of the ‘holy’ praises from Arabic. Therefore, I have decided to write out the...

Do you love Allah (Glory Be To Him)? Majority of human race believe in some sort of super force managing their lives. It is not difficult to find someone who belief in God. In my first book ‘Jinn’ I have touched very mildly on this belief of God. However, our objective must be in line with Allah (Glory Be To Him) decree. There is no point in believing in Allah (Glory Be To Him) and ignorant of Allah’s (Glory Be To Him) guidance. What is Guidance? When we were young, our parents or guardians teach us what and what not to do. We were always being taught and reminded the ‘do’s ‘and ‘don’ts’. We listen and comply is because we ‘fear’ what may happen if we go out of the ‘rules’. We do not listen when we think that the pasture on the other side will be better than the present one. We were termed as rebellious. Everything has a limit. When we eat too much, our body does not make space for the fats to accumulate. It does not expand itself. As a result, our profile gets bloated and we become fa...

Be realistic. The legitimate reason for living is to be happy. How can then you be happy without material things? You need a house to live in, food and drink to appease your hunger and quench the thirsts, and clothing to cover your bodies. In order to fulfil the daily needs you need financial stability. But how can you attract unlimited wealth? What is the secret to financial freedom? The key to financial freedom lies in chapter 2 verse 261: THE PARABLE of those who spend their possessions for the sake of God is that of a grain out of which grow seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains: for God grants manifold increase unto whom He wills; and God is infinite, all-knowing. Who can be the best teacher than our Creator who teaches a paradoxical approach in financial stability? Allah swt teaches us by way of allegory. According to the above verse, Allah swt says that He enriches the one who gives or spend for the cause of Allah swt by 700 times – you give and get more. This is the illog...

The story of Mihraj or Ascension to the Heavens is a phenomenon only for our Prophet Muhammad saws. Whether you believe it or not it is all up to you. But when I read the story on and on I am beginning to know myself. Rasoolullah told us that if you want to know God – know thyself. It is a simple statement but to extract the essence of this message you need deep thinking about your self and your relationship with Allah swt. In that story, Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam brought Prophet Muhammad saws to the worlds of the unseen. He showed our beloved Prophet that part of faith (with the command of our creator) which we utter in our daily lives with our tongue that is ‘wal yawmil akhiri’. And when he reached the entry to Allah’s presence Hazereth Jibreel Alaihisalam shivered with fear. Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam said Prophet Muhammad saws, ‘stop, you go forward from here’. It has been stated in many hadiths that Hazereth Jibreel alaihisalam gave a serious impression to the Prophet. When ...

In every religion prayer is an essential part of that particular religion. But only in Islam the steps to reach God is clearly stated through prayer. The problem of today's muslim is that they are so defensive with their religion but they do not know what they are defending about. We have been separated with the higher eternal living but yet we have a door to reach God in an instant. That door is what God has given us to use it whenever you want to communicate with God. That door is through our 5 times prayer. A prayer of a devout muslim is faster than a rocket. It reaches God instantly. And God loves a muslim who pray with piety in his or her heart. Apart from preparation , intention , and the vey act of prayer one thing you need to do is to see God in your prayer - and to see him with certaintly. Let me explain the concept of certaintly. What is certainty? In the chapter 102 Al Takathur or Piling Up God's admonition those who pile up wealth conciously forgetting the hereafte...

On Friday Oct 03 the world renowned Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani gave a speech on the importance of observing the daily prayers with sincerity and love. Here is just a gist of what was spoken in Fenton US. Prayers are the zones where you are most near to Allah swt to ask Him what you need. “In it , feeha yatasa” “feeha ma yaleeq min al – asrar- in it all kinds of secrets lies within in the prayer itself. Allah swt will open whatever secrets or blessings to His servant when he is praying and no one will know what lies within a specific prayer. Actually many people approach prayer through problems and when they face difficulties. Salathul al Haajjah is a prayer of fulfilling a need and the person who gets what he wanted forgot that the solution is from Allah swt. It is also important to ask a need from your heart not just merely ask by raising your hands as Allah swt says that He will respond to our calls in the Al Quran. In order to see whether our prayer is working for us is the effec...

I want to start a series of posts on prayer. “Prayer is the coolness of my eyes” said the Prophet PBUH. Every word of the Prophet is as true as the Holy Quran. How can prayer be soothing to him yet a boring “ritual” to most of us. If you ask a muslim to choose between a “going to the cinema” and "going to the mosque", the most likely urge is to choose the former. That is the reality of this age. Prayer is losing its popularity among muslims. The real reason is that we “cannot” see God in our prayer. If you are using the computer now can you ask this simple question - where is the electrical power coming from? The answer will be it is from the power socket. It is from the circuit distribution board, from the switch room, from the distribution center, from the power supply, from the power generator. One broken link in that chain and your computer will be useless. Similarly, if you cannot see Allah swt in your prayer – your link is broken and you are stuck in the boredom of rit...

It is my ardent desire to find out what we can discover in prayer. That is why I am posting articles in this regard. It is not an easy task to find out what is the ‘key’ to open the floodgate in a prayer. We will find something in prayer. It is only a matter of time.It is definitely that ‘something’ we did not experience in life is behind the veil of our prayer. In my preceding post I have given readers the first step in approaching prayer. Readers may find that my posts are not on a consistent basis. I feel guilty at times. To tell you the truth, it is not an easy task writing about something which I have not gone through. I just want to unlock the key in a successful prayer. There is something there in prayer – a gift from Allah swt- for those who enters prayer to unlock and take it. But prayer is a ritual, monotonous exercise for the majority. It is because many of us who enters prayer are in a lazy mindset about prayers. It gives nothing. It is not entertaining like watching a mov...

In the name of God The Most Gracious The Most Merciful. I will only praise God for the writings that i have written so far in this blog. This is a spiritual diary about how i understand Islam to date. Why Maulana.Com? This blog is a dedication to my late enlightened teacher Shaik Alhaj Rais Sufi Maulana Maulevi Syed Ibrahim Bin Mohamed Bacha (Baqavi) Airwadi Levvai (5th July 1931 - 18th May 2003 or 16 R Awwal 1424) who was part of my spiritual development in Islam. We use to call him by the name maulana. Thus maulana.com What is the benefit here? Though it is a personal spiritual journey i have included my own experiences so that readers can use it for their own development. The religion of Islam is not a static ritual dogma but when practiced with certainty you will reap the sweetness of faith. My vision of our beloved Prophet Muhammad is one example. Read here here and here . The greatness of Shaik Alhaj Rais Sufi Maulana Maulevi Syed Ibrahim Bin Mohamed Bacha Allah The Most High i...

N ow you are ready for the prayer. In our everyday life we focus on so many things. But only in prayer Allah swt gives you a break from all the troubles and problems by making your time to remember Him alone. But instead of remembering Allah swt, the performers of prayers mostly remember their matters about the world. This is where the basis of contradiction will arise. Do not be a selfish performer of prayer. Give your time to Allah swt. Why I say contradictions? On one hand we belief in Allah swt but on the other hand we do not ask Allah swt to make the belief stronger. We think that we are going to perform the prayer. But we have forgotten that we are just an instrument of Allah swt. Now in this blog you may have learned some skill in your spiritual pursuit. Sometimes I wonder why I am writing this blog. It gives me nothing but taking so much of my sleep time. The reason is this - I love to write about Islam. Is that love self imposed? I do not think so. The passion in me is planted...

The Prayer in Islam is actually a communion with the Creator who is above and beyond all understanding and reality. In order to get a one hundred percent communication with Allah swt, conscious effort is needed by the performer of prayer. The first and foremost of prayer is the beautiful Azan or Call to Prayer. The call to prayer is above all music in the universe. Listen to the call before every prayer and try your very best to emulate the most beautiful call to prayer before you start a prayer. I have found the below video.Listen to this beautiful call to prayer by Mr Yusuf Islam.
