Broken Homes Receive the Most Light

They say broken homes receive the most light. Sometimes, you will go through a poignant experience, and that experience will make you closer to God.

“There is only one important point you must keep in your mind and let it be your guide. No matter what people call you, you are just who you are. Keep to this truth. You must ask yourself how is it you want to live your life. We live and we die, this is the truth that we can only face alone. No one can help us. So consider carefully, what prevents you from living the way you want to live your life?”

— Shams Tabrizi (Rumi’s spiritual master, Sufism)

Advice from Sayyidi al-Habib 'Umar on entering the month Rabīʿ al-Awwal

To receive this month well with truthful turning to Allah and growth of your faith, love and certainty. Let mention of the Prophet S.A.W, his life, his birth and his news fill your homes. Raise your voices in the invocation of blessings upon him. Illuminate your homes and your hearts by them. When this month came, some of the scholars of the Ummah would read the Mawlid with their families in every room of their house. Each day they would recite in a room or corridor, honouring their homes with invocations of blessings upon Prophet S.A.W and the mention of his birth and news. Be truthful in your reception of the noble month and in how you raise your children. Encourage them and bring them closer. He concludes by making a dua," Oh Lord, grant the hearts wakefulness this month. Grant them light from your light, which illuminates and increases until the Day of Meeting you, O Almighty, O All-Forgiving."

“A couple of months ago, I became depressed by the realization that I’d forgotten pretty much everything I’ve ever read. I have, however, bounced back: I am now cheered by the realization that if I’ve forgotten everything I’ve ever read then I can read some of my favorite books again as if for the first time.”

اعلم يا ولدي أنه لا يصح لك شئ من الطريق إلا إن أسست أساسك على أنك لا تفرح إلا بربك ولا تحزن إلا على حجابك عنه وأما إن أسست أساسك على الفرح بغيره والحزن على فوات غيره فيا طول طريقك. انتهى فتأمل يا أخي واجعله أساسك.

سيدي إبراهيم المتبولي

Sidi Ibrahim Al Matbouli:

Know son that you aren't really travelling the Path unless your foundation is this; that your happiness is only found with your Lord and your sadness is due to being veiled from Him but if your foundation is set on seeking happiness in anything else but Him and being sad on missing anything else but Him.. How long your path will be! Reflect upon this son and make it your foundation
