This is only a temporary home. Everything belongs to Allāh ﷻ. If you spent your whole life in sajdah it wouldn’t be enough to thank Him ﷻ. And when the food, drink, air He ﷻ gives you is done, you die. So use it well and move on.
The Finger of Shayṭān

Shaykh Bahauddin gives two pieces of advice. Be positive because negativity makes you and the people around you miserable. Be humble and think of others first. This is the way of the Awliyā’u Llāh and the way of ṭarīqah. Sajda is the true prayer.
Believers Are One Body

When one believer is in pain, all believers feel the hurt. When a believer has bad habits they also can spread to other believers. Do not openly display your sins. Ḥarām money is a poison that poisons your self, your children and even your ancestors.
Ḥalāl and Ḥarām

There is law, sharī‘ah, in Islām that is fixed for everyone. It defines what is ḥalāl and what is ḥarām. You must be careful not to mistake your customs for the law and not to say what is ḥalāl is ḥarām, or what is ḥarām is ḥalāl.

Accept Your Weakness

Be Satisfied with Your Lord

To Train Your Ego

Clean Your Heart
Jul31 2017 English 22min
