#sufisim

[uali]

"Abu`l Hasn Fushanja said, 'Today Sufism is a name without a reality, but formerly it was a reality without a name,' i.e. in the time of the Companions and the Ancients -- may God have mercy on them -- this name did not exist, but the reality thereof was in everyone; now the name exists, but not the reality. That is to say, formerly the practice was known and the pretence unknown, but nowadays the pretence is known and the practice unknown.'" —— Hazrat Ali Hujwiri, Kashf al-Mahjub (trans. Nicholson, with minor edits), #chasinglight #fujifilm #fujixseries #fujix #sufisim #islam (at Wazir Khan Mosque وزیر خان مسجد)

We pass through five stages: the pre-earthly stage, earthly life, life in the Intermediary Realm, Resurrection and Judgment, and the final abode, as beautifully described by psychiatrist and Sufi author Dr. Mostafa al-Badawi in his book Man and the Universe: An Islamic Perspective. It should be understood that there is no discontinuity between these successive stages, for as one dies, or departs from one realm, one instantaneously enters the next—birth and death being two sides of the same coin. We have but one chance to purify our inner selves, detach from the transient, and attain closeness to our Creator.

قلب ِسلیم | Qalb e Saleem - ماہنامہ سلطان الفقر لاہور | mahnama-sultan-ul-faqr-lahore

قلبِ سلیم تحریر: مسزعظمیٰ شکیل سروری قادری (اوکاڑا) قلب کے لفظی معانی تحریر کیے جائیں تو اس سے مراد ہے دل، لیکن سلطان العارفین حضرت سخی سلطان باھوُ رحمتہ اللہ علیہ فرماتے ہیں:قلب کے تین حروف ہیں ق، ل، ب۔ مزید پڑھیں

قلبِ سلیم ایسے قلب کو کہا جاتا ہے جو تحقیق و پہچان کی راہ پر گامزن ہو اور شوقِ دیدارِ الٰہی رکھتا ہو۔ اگر کوئی اپنے قلب سے نفس کے تمام ناسور قتل کرنے کی ٹھان لے اور خدائے بزرگ و برتر کی جانب سے توفیق پا کر معرفت و دیدارِ الٰہی تک پہنچ جائے تو ایسے قوی و مضبوط روحانی قلب کو قلبِ سلیم کہا بم جائے گا

[midnightsnack717]

A mystic removes the barrier that stands between himself and another person by trying to look at life not only from his own point of view, but also from the point of view of another. All disputes and disagreements arise from people's misunderstanding of each other. Mostly, people misunderstand each other because they have their fixed points of view and are not willing to move from them. ... If we are willing to understand, then understanding is within our reach. Very often, however, we are not willing to understand, and that is why we do not understand. Mankind suffers from a sort of stubbornness. A man goes against what he thinks is coming from another person. Yet, everything he has learned has come from others, he has not learned one word from himself. All the same, he calls it his argument, his idea, and his view, although it is no such thing. He has always taken it from somewhere. It is by accepting this fact that a mystic understands all, and it is this which makes him a friend of all.

Hazrat Inayat Khan

[neonalchemy]

We’re one of those Love stories etched in the fabric of the Cosmos. The inevitable, excruciating birth of our true selves through the grandest act of all: Love  The plot twist, Sometimes to be together, we must be apart and this is why, we are the Love of symphonies -  Poetry,  Movies And the stars.  For We are the death and birth of all Life within the Microcosm of our Ecstasy. The origins of Love. The Unity of Duality. The Trinity.

I always see the remedy in pain. I see the subtle gift and fidelity in angry quarrels and betrayals. When I look down, I don't see the earth And when I look up, I don't see the vault of the sky. Whatever I glance at I see You.

Rumi, Rubaiyat 1131, trans. Kabir Helminski
