Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.
Dr. Melissa Harris-Perry’s advice to Class of 2013 (via bitchwhoisyou)

Think.
Think about thinking, think about solving issues that matter, think about others.
To be able to think of all these, one must be well read, active in discussions and actively involve in his Ummah; the closest people around him.
Start small.
Have a guide; a murabbi.
Ask questions.

Learn how to ask questions. Don’t ask questions just for the sake of asking but for a greater purpose.

Be amongst those who are willing to learn, those who are willing to teach. May Allah grant us the opportunity to be in these circles of knowledge that benefits oneself as much as it benefits others.

Know your ultimate goal. Your intention is as important as your end.

Incomplete Manifesto for Growth

Allow events to change you. You have to be willing to grow. Growth is different from something that happens to you. You produce it. You live it. The prerequisites for growth: the openness to experience events and the willingness to be changed by them.
Forget about good. Good is a known quantity. Good is what we all agree on. Growth is not necessarily good. Growth is an exploration of unlit recesses that may or may not yield to our research. As long as you stick to good you’ll never have real growth.
Process is more important than outcome. When the outcome drives the process we will only ever go to where we’ve already been. If process drives outcome we may not know where we’re going, but we will know we want to be there.
Love your experiments (as you would an ugly child). Joy is the engine of growth. Exploit the liberty in casting your work as beautiful experiments, iterations, attempts, trials, and errors. Take the long view and allow yourself the fun of failure every day.
Go deep. The deeper you go the more likely you will discover something of value.
Capture accidents. The wrong answer is the right answer in search of a different question. Collect wrong answers as part of the process. Ask different questions.
Study. A studio is a place of study. Use the necessity of production as an excuse to study. Everyone will benefit.
Drift. Allow yourself to wander aimlessly. Explore adjacencies. Lack judgment. Postpone criticism.
Begin anywhere. John Cage tells us that not knowing where to begin is a common form of paralysis. His advice: begin anywhere.
Everyone is a leader. Growth happens. Whenever it does, allow it to emerge. Learn to follow when it makes sense. Let anyone lead.
Harvest ideas. Edit applications. Ideas need a dynamic, fluid, generous environment to sustain life. Applications, on the other hand, benefit from critical rigor. Produce a high ratio of ideas to applications.
Keep moving. The market and its operations have a tendency to reinforce success. Resist it. Allow failure and migration to be part of your practice.
Slow down. Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.
Don’t be cool. Cool is conservative fear dressed in black. Free yourself from limits of this sort.
Ask stupid questions. Growth is fueled by desire and innocence. Assess the answer, not the question. Imagine learning throughout your life at the rate of an infant.
Collaborate. The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential.
____________________. Intentionally left blank. Allow space for the ideas you haven’t had yet, and for the ideas of others.
Stay up late. Strange things happen when you’ve gone too far, been up too long, worked too hard, and you’re separated from the rest of the world.
Work the metaphor. Every object has the capacity to stand for something other than what is apparent. Work on what it stands for.
Be careful to take risks. Time is genetic. Today is the child of yesterday and the parent of tomorrow. The work you produce today will create your future.
Repeat yourself. If you like it, do it again. If you don’t like it, do it again.
Make your own tools. Hybridize your tools in order to build unique things. Even simple tools that are your own can yield entirely new avenues of exploration. Remember, tools amplify our capacities, so even a small tool can make a big difference.
Stand on someone’s shoulders. You can travel farther carried on the accomplishments of those who came before you. And the view is so much better.
Avoid software. The problem with software is that everyone has it.
Don’t clean your desk. You might find something in the morning that you can’t see tonight.
Don’t enter awards competitions. Just don’t. It’s not good for you.
Read only left-hand pages. Marshall McLuhan did this. By decreasing the amount of information, we leave room for what he called our “noodle.”
Make new words. Expand the lexicon. The new conditions demand a new way of thinking. The thinking demands new forms of expression. The expression generates new conditions.
Think with your mind. Forget technology. Creativity is not device-dependent.
Organization = Liberty. Real innovation in design, or any other field, happens in context. That context is usually some form of cooperatively managed enterprise. Frank Gehry, for instance, is only able to realize Bilbao because his studio can deliver it on budget. The myth of a split between “creatives” and “suits” is what Leonard Cohen calls a ‘charming artifact of the past.’
Don’t borrow money. Once again, Frank Gehry’s advice. By maintaining financial control, we maintain creative control. It’s not exactly rocket science, but it’s surprising how hard it is to maintain this discipline, and how many have failed.
Listen carefully. Every collaborator who enters our orbit brings with him or her a world more strange and complex than any we could ever hope to imagine. By listening to the details and the subtlety of their needs, desires, or ambitions, we fold their world onto our own. Neither party will ever be the same.
Take field trips. The bandwidth of the world is greater than that of your TV set, or the Internet, or even a totally immersive, interactive, dynamically rendered, object-oriented, real-time, computer graphic–simulated environment.
Make mistakes faster. This isn’t my idea — I borrowed it. I think it belongs to Andy Grove.
Imitate. Don’t be shy about it. Try to get as close as you can. You’ll never get all the way, and the separation might be truly remarkable. We have only to look to Richard Hamilton and his version of Marcel Duchamp’s large glass to see how rich, discredited, and underused imitation is as a technique.
Scat. When you forget the words, do what Ella did: make up something else … but not words.
Break it, stretch it, bend it, crush it, crack it, fold it.
Explore the other edge. Great liberty exists when we avoid trying to run with the technological pack. We can’t find the leading edge because it’s trampled underfoot. Try using old-tech equipment made obsolete by an economic cycle but still rich with potential.
Coffee breaks, cab rides, green rooms. Real growth often happens outside of where we intend it to, in the interstitial spaces — what Dr. Seuss calls “the waiting place.” Hans Ulrich Obrist once organized a science and art conference with all of the infrastructure of a conference — the parties, chats, lunches, airport arrivals — but with no actual conference. Apparently it was hugely successful and spawned many ongoing collaborations.
Avoid fields. Jump fences. Disciplinary boundaries and regulatory regimes are attempts to control the wilding of creative life. They are often understandable efforts to order what are manifold, complex, evolutionary processes. Our job is to jump the fences and cross the fields.
Laugh. People visiting the studio often comment on how much we laugh. Since I’ve become aware of this, I use it as a barometer of how comfortably we are expressing ourselves.
Remember. Growth is only possible as a product of history. Without memory, innovation is merely novelty. History gives growth a direction. But a memory is never perfect. Every memory is a degraded or composite image of a previous moment or event. That’s what makes us aware of its quality as a past and not a present. It means that every memory is new, a partial construct different from its source, and, as such, a potential for growth itself.
Power to the people. Play can only happen when people feel they have control over their lives. We can’t be free agents if we’re not free.

Pelajar UIA mimpi bertemu Rasulullah s.a.w.
 
oleh Muhammad Harmain Bin Palal pada pada 15hb Oktober 2010 pukul 10.56 ptg
 
Pelajar UIA mimpi bertemu Rasulullah s.a.w.
 
Assalamualaikum w.b.t 
 
Berkata Abu Salamah, “Telah berkata Abu Qatadah, Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda yang bermaksud, sesiapa yang telah melihat daku dalam mimpinya, maka sesungguhnya dia telah melihat yang benar (al-Haqq).Hadis riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim.
 
Muhasabah: Mimpi pelajar UIA berjumpa Nabi Muhammad S.A.W
 
Luangkan masa kalian untuk membaca.. ambil peringatan dari Baginda Nabi sempena keputeraannya tahun ini.. tunjukkan kecintaan pada Rasulullah s.a.w…
 
Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Mengasihani. ..
 
Ya Allah..lancar jari ini menaipkan sebuah pengalaman yg amat berharga dr seorang insan yg dipilih Allah utk berjumpa Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. melalui mimpi hari Khamis, 16 Rejab 1427H bersamaan 10 0gos 2006.
 
yg dipilih oleh ayah beliau adalah Syamimi yg bermaksud ‘kesayanganku’ , jua gelaran Nabi pada puteri kesayangan Baginda, Fatimah. Ketika khilaf memilih Nama itu, ayah beliau mengharapkan mudah2an suatu hari nanti anaknya akan menjadi salah seorang mutiara kesayangan Rasulullah s.a.w. Alhamdulillah, doanya makbul selepas 23
tahun kelahiran anak sulungnya daripada 8 adik-beradik.
 
Al-Quran 30 juzuk terpelihara kemas dalam hatinya. Beliau menghabiskan masa 3 tahun utk menghafal 30 juzuk Kalamullah ketika berada di negeri kelahirannya. Beliau hafal sendiri utk memenuhi harapan ibu ayah yang mengharapkan ada dalam kalangan anak mereka menjadi seorang hafiz atau hafizah. Sebagai anak sulung, beliau mengambil tanggungjawab ini utk menjadi contoh kpd adik2 yg lain. Setiap hari beliau hafal 2 mukasurat Al-Quran dan tasmi’ dgn ustaz di sebelah rumahnya. Sekarang beliau pelajar tahun 4 jurusan Undang-Undang Syariah
 
di universiti ini.
 
Akak ni memang diuji dengan sakit yg tak tahu apa punca sejak lebih setahun yg lalu. Sakitnya rasa seperti ditikam-tikam dengan pisau di bahagian belakang tubuhnya, tambahan pula kaki yang sakit di bahagian lutut sejak 8 tahun lalu tidak pernah sembuh. Pernah satu ketika, selepas makan, beliau muntah bersama segumpal rambut dari kerongkongnya.
 
Penderitaannya hanya Allah dan dia sendiri yang tahu. Sudah lama beliau tidak terdaya ke kelas kerana sakit itu membuatkan dia tidak dapat berdiri atau berjalan. Hilang selera makannya hingga badannya susut hampir 13 kg. Beliau hanya menggagahkan diri untuk pergi berwudhu’ 2 hingga 3 kali sehari. Wudhu’ itu dijaga sebaik mungkin untuk ibadah
 
sepanjang hari.
 
Hari2 yang dilaluinya dipenuhi dgn membaca Al-Quran dan qiamullail sebagai pendinding daripada gangguan yg terus2an menyakiti diri. Diceritakan makhluk2 halus itu akan mengganggunya terutama pada waktu sebelum Subuh, Zuhur dan Maghrib. Beliau telah banyak berubat di merata tempat, berjumpa doktor2 pakar, malah ulama’ yg faqih dalam ilmu
 
perubatan islam serta akhir sekali bertemu sorang lecturer di sini. Tapi beliau hanya mampu bertahan. Pesan ustaznya, setiap kali beliau sakit, banyakkan baca Surah Al-Baqarah.
 
Pagi Khamis itu, beliau berniat utk hadir kuliyah sebab sudah terlalu lama tidak mampu ke kelas. Beliau bangun kira2 jam 4.30 pagi utk solat. Berbekalkan sedikit kekuatan yg digagahkan, beliau ke bilik air utk berwudhu’ dgn memapah dinding dan segala apa yg mampu membantu beliau untuk berdiri. Habis berwudhu’, beliau jatuh tersungkur, rasa seperti ada yg menolak keras dari belakang. Tika itu beliau sudah tidak mampu berdiri, justeru beliau merangkak ke bilik. Sampai saja di bilik,beliau ketuk pintu dan rebah di depan bilik tersebut. Disebabkan sakit
 
yg mungkin dah tak tertanggung, dengan spontan beliau niatkan, “Ya Allah, kiranya mati itu baik untukku, aku redha, tapi kiranya Engkau ingin aku terus hidup, aku ingin dengar kata-kata semangat drpd Rasulullah s.a.w. sendiri..”
 
Kemudian beliau pengsan. Sahabat2 sebilik mengangkat beliau ke dalam biliknya dan di baringkan di sana . Waktu itu, sahabat2nya telah pun ‘forward message’ pd rakan2 yg lain agar dibacakan surah Yasin kerana beliau nampak sudah nazak. Malah mereka telah sedia dgn nombor2 ahli keluarganya utk dihubungi kiranya ada apa2 berlaku dengan izin
 
Allah. Kira2 jam 11 pagi itulah, ketika tertidur dgn tenang dalam waktu qoilullah, beliau bermimpi. Beliau sedang terbaring dalam keadaan memakai telekung dgn tangannya diqiam seperti dalam solat di suatu tempat asing yang sangat cantik. Beliau terbaring di sebelah mimbar dan kelihatan banyak tiang di sekitarnya.
 
Tiba-tiba datang seorang Hamba Allah dgn wajah yang bercahaya dari arah depan dan berdiri hampir sekali, kira2 2 meter dari beliau. Wajahnya SubhanaLlah. .indah sekali, tak dapat nak digambarkan. Beliau tertanya2, siapakah orang ini? cantik sekali kejadiannya dan hati beliau rasa sangat tenang dgn hanya melihat wajahnya. Dirasakan seluruh
 
kesengsaraan yg ditanggung selama ini lenyap begitu sahaja. Kemudian, Hamba Allah itu mengatakan, Assalamu’alaikum, ana Rasulullah.. ”
 
Subhanallah. .baginda Nabi rupanya! Nabi memakai jubah putih dan kain serban berwarna hijau di atas bahu baginda. Beliau nampak dgn jelas mata Baginda Nabi, janggut Baginda, rambut Baginda, kain serban di atas bahu Baginda dan tubuh Baginda. Kemudian Nabi katakan “Enti fil masjidi” (kamu sekarang berada di masjidku, Masjid Nabawi).. Allahuakbar!
 
Kemudian Baginda Nabi s.a.w. berkata: QalAllahuta’ ala;”InnaAllahama’ assobirin” (sesungguhnya Allah bersama orang2 yg sabar).
 
Ketika mendengar suara Nabi mengalunkan Kalamullah, terasa bergema suara merdu Nabi di seluruh alam. Sememangnya Baginda sebaik-baik kejadian dan diciptakan dgn penuh kesempurnaan. Nabi katakan (dalam lughahl arab, tp
 
diterjemahkan di sini) ; “Ya Syamimi, dengan berkat kesabaran enti, dgn sakit yg enti tanggung selama ini, dan dgn berkat Al-Quran yg enti pelihara di dlm hati, maka Allah bukakan hijab utk enti nampak ana..”
 
Ketika Nabi menyebut Ya Syamimi, terlintas di hatinya “Ya Allah..Baginda kenal ummatnya!”. Ya Rasulullah.. . Ketika itu, beliau dapat merasakan baiknya Allah, memberikan nikmat yg begitu besar buat dirinya.
 
Kemudian Nabi katakan lagi; “Sampaikan salamku buat sahabat2 seperjuangan Islam. InsyaAllah, kita semua akan berjumpa nanti..” Nabi s.a.w. kemudian melafazkan; “Ummati.. ummati..ummati. ..” dan beliau nampak jelas Nabi menangis saat itu. Beberapa titisan airmata Baginda yg suci mengalir utk ummat Baginda! Kemudian Baginda Nabi melangkah pergi.
 
Beliau merintih, “Jangan pergi Ya Rasulullah.. ” tetapi Baginda tetap pergi. Subhanallah, walaupun kita tak pernah bersua dgn Nabi yg mulia, Baginda kenal dan sentiasa ingat akan ummatnya. Beliau sendiri tidak pasti, apakah Baginda menangis kerana rindu kepada ummatnya, atau mungkin saja baginda sedih dgn ummat akhir zaman ini? wallahua’lam. ..
 
Sedar daripada tidur yg amat indah pengisiannya itu, beliau masih dikelilingi oleh rakan2 yg turut terdengar rintihan beliau dalam tidurnya “Jangan pergi Ya Rasululah… ” Beliau kemudian menceritakan kpd para sahabat tentang mimpinya sekaligus menyampaikan salam Rasulullah buat ummat Baginda. Semua yg mendengar menangis lantaran rindu pada Nabi. Rasa malu pada Nabi krn kita jarang2 ingat pada Baginda sedangkan kita amat terhutang budi padanya. Lebih2 lagi kita sedar bahawa hanya syafaat Bagindalah yg dikejar di akhirat kelak.
 
Ya Allah..ketika itu, tiada kata yg lebih tinggi drpd kalimah Alhamdulillah utk di rafa’kan pada Allah atas ni’mat yg begitu besar yg Allah berikan pada dirinya. Rasa tak layak dirinya menerima anugerah dgn ujian yg hanya sedikit berbanding insan2 yg lebih berat diuji oleh Allah. Kiranya ada kalimah pujian yg lebih tinggi dr Hamdalah, pasti
 
akan beliau sebutkan buat Allah Yang Maha Kaya. Semuanya terangkum dalam Rahmat-Nya yg melimpah ruah. Rasa sakit masih menular di tubuhnya. Cuma kali ini dia bertekad tidak akan menangis lagi utk kesakitan ini.
 
Usai solat Zuhur, rasa sakit yg ditanggung makin hebat. Tak pernah beliau merasakan sakit yg sebegitu rupa. Terasa panas seluruh badan dan seluruh tubuhnya rasa ditikam pada setiap penjuru. Kalau dulu, beliau akan menangis dalam menghadapi kesakitan, namun pada waktu itu beliau pujuk diri utk tidak menangis. “Apa sangatlah sakit yg aku
 
tanggung ini berbanding nikmat yg Allah telah bagi utk melihat Baginda Nabi s.a.w..”
 
Kemudian beliau tidur. Beliau terus rasakan berada di tempat tinggi, tempat yg biasa hadir sepanjang beliau menerima gangguan. Beliau katakan “Ya Allah, apa lagi yg hendak Engkau berikan buat hambamu yg hina ni, rasa malu sangat dengan-Mu Ya Allah…” Kemudian dgn izin Allah, datang empat orang yg berpakaian serba hijau. Salah seorang
 
daripadanya mengatakan; “Assalamu’alaikum Ya Syamimi..Rasulullah s.a.w. sampaikan salam buatmu. Kami utusan Rasululah..Nahnu khulafa’ ar-rasyidin. Ana Abu Bakr, ini Ummar Al-Khattab, Uthman bin ‘affan dan Ali..” Subhanallah. .Saidina Abu Bakr memperkenal dirinya dan ketiga2 sahabat yg mulia. Beliau nampak sendiri, Saidina Abu Bakr yg amat lembut perwatakannya, Saidina Ummar dgn wajah tegasnya, Saidina Uthman yg cantik sekali dan Saidina ‘Ali yg agak kecil orangnya. 
 
Para Sahabat mengatakan; “Kami diutuskan oleh baginda Nabi utk membantu enti..” Kemudian keempat2 mereka membacakan ayat 102 surah Al-Baqarah yg bermaksud:
 
“Dan mereka mengikuti apa yg dibaca oleh syaitan-syaitan pada masa kerajaan Sulaiman. Sulaiman itu tidak kafir tetapi syaitan-syaitan itulah yg kafir, mereka mengajarkan sihir pada manusia dan apa yg diturunkan pada 2 malaikat di negeri Babylon iaitu Harut dan Marut.
 
Padahal keduanya tidak mengajarkan sesuatu kepada seseorang sebelum mengatakan ’sesungguhnya kami hanyalah cubaan (bagimu) sebab itu janganlah kafir.’ Maka mereka mempelajari dari keduanya (malaikat itu) apa yang (dapat) memisahkan antara seorang (suami) denagn isterinya. Mereka tidak akan dapat mencelakakan seseorang dgn sihirnya kecuali dengan izin Allah. Mereka mempelajari sesuatu yang mencelakakan, dan tidak memberi manfaat kepada mereka. Dan sungguh, mereka sudah tahu, barang siapa membeli (menggunakan sihir) itu, nescaya tidak akan mendapat keuntungan di akhirat. Dan sungguh, sangatlah buruk perbuatan mereka yang menjual dirinya dgn sihir, sekiranya mereka tahu..”
 
Selesai membaca ayat itu, para sahabat Nabi menghembus pada makhluk2 yang sedang mengganggu beliau dan mereka semua hancur terbakar.
 
Subhanallah. .waktu itu terus terasa seolah2 tubuhnya yg sakit dahulu ditukarkan Allah s.w.t. dgn tubuh yg baru. Hilang segala kesakitan yg setahun lebih ditanggung beliau dgn sabar. Saidina Abu Bakr mengatakan;
 
“Inilah ganjaran besar dari Allah buat orang-orang yang sabar..”
 
Kemudian, para sahabat Nabi yg mulia pun pergi meninggalkannya.
 
Selesai mimpi indah yg kedua ini, beliau bangun dr tidur dan terus duduk. Rakan2 sebilik pelik, kenapa beliau dapat bangun dan duduk dgn mudah . Kemudian sahabat2nya itu menyuruh beliau bangun berdiri dan alhamduliLlah. .dgn mudah beliau bangun berdiri dan berjalan d sekitar bilik. “Ya Allah, penyakit ana dah sembuh..” Semua sahabat yang ada di
 
situ bergembira dan menangis. Kemudian beliau segera ke bilik air untuk berwudhu’. Dengan tubuh yang ‘baru’, beliau sujud syukur pada Allah s.w.t. “Ya Allah, kiranya di beri tempoh sujud 100 tahun pun belum dapat diriku menjadi hamba-Mu yg bersyukur atas nikmat yg telah Engkau berikan..”
 
Beliau berpesan pada kami; “Adik-adik, wajarlah para sahabat Nabi yang mulia sanggup mati demi mempertahankan Baginda. Akak yang diberi rezeki melihat Nabi tak sampai pun 5 minit dah rasa tak sanggup berpisah dengannya. Kalau boleh, nak duduk je di bilik untuk beribadah pada Allah dan mengenang wajah Nabi yg mulia. Tapi menyedari banyak lagi taklifan dan tanggungjawab kita atas muka bumi Allah ini, maka hidup mesti diteruskan. Sekarang ini hati akak tenang sangat..kalau boleh, nak je akak pinjamkan hati ni walau hanya sesaat agar adik2 dapat merasakan
 
betapa beningnya hati ini. Tapi itu tak mungkin kan , mungkin ini bahagian akak, bahagian kalian? Hanya Pemiliknya Yang Maha Tahu. Akhir sekali akak ingin katakan, tak rugi kita bersabar…”
 
Keperibadiannya indah. Cerminan al-Quran katanya ‘Aisyah ra.
Dari semua aspek kehidupan, diperagakannya hanyalah kesyumulan. Allah mengajar manusia berkehidupan di muka bumi ini melalui baginda. Menuruti sunnahnya adalah pahala. Kasih sayangnya tiada bertepi, dari yang kecil hingga yang tua, dari hamba hingga ke bangsawan, dari dulu sampai sekarang, hingga ke akhirnya.. Dialah peribadi unggul sepanjang zaman.
Mencintainya suatu kemuliaan…
 
Pernah suatu ketika Rasulullah berkumpul didalam satu majlis bersama para sahabat. Tiba-tiba bergenang air mata baginda s.a.w. Para sahabat gelosah melihat sesuatu yang tidakmereka senangi di wajah Rasulullah saw. Bila ditanya oleh Saidina Abu Bakar ra, baginda mengatakan bahawa terlalu merindui ikhwannya.. Saidina Abu Bakar sekali lagi bertanya Rasulullah saw, “bukankah kami ini ikhwanmu?” Rasulullah menjawab, “Tidak, kamu semua adalah sahabatku.. ikhwanku adalah umatku yang belum pernah melihat aku tetapi mereka beriman dan sangat mencintaiku. .. Aku sangat rindu bertemu dengan mereka..”
 
Sesungguhnya Allah dan malaikat-malaikat- Nya bershalawat untuk Nabi. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, bershalawatlah kamu untuk Nabi dan ucapkanlah salam penghormatan kepadanya (al-Ahzab:56)
 
p/s: sungguh…berderaian air mataku mengalir..daku rindu akan dirimu..Ya Rasulullah!
 
(kisah ini dinukilkan oleh sahabat Syamimi hasil pengalaman benar yang telah dilalui..pernah disebarkan melalui e-mel & blog sebelum ini..)
sesungguhnya, ana sangat bersyukur kerana dilahirkan didunia ini sbgai ummat nabi Muhammad S.A.W…
banyakkan lah berselawat dan mendengar zikir..insyaAllah kita semua akan mendapt syafaatnya di Akhirat kelak..wallahu’ alam..(*_ *)

There are only two things you’ll ever really need to know; that is what you live for and what you would die for. God forbid that both those things aren’t the very same. If so, then, quite honestly, you don’t know the first thing about living or dying. God forbid, because then you’re just taking up space.

My favourite poem

She once asked me 
the name of my
favourite poet
and I replied

God

She laughed
and played along
and asked me
which one of his
works was my
absolute favourite

I said it was
the one
where he
wrote her
into existence

Intention for Sending Blessings upon the Prophet

alivesonofawake:

The intention of Imam al-Haddad for sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ:

O God, I intend by my sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ fulfilling Your command, and professing belief in Your book, and following the way of Your Prophet, our liege lord ﷺ Muhammad and (declaring) love for him, yearning for him and venerating his right and to ennoble him, and due to the fact that he is deserving of that ﷺ, so accept this from me by virtue of Your grace and excellence.

Remove the veil of heedlessness from my heart, and make me from the righteous. O God, increase him in eminence beyond the eminence with which You have preferred him, and increase him in honour beyond the honour which You have given him ﷺ, and raise his station in the stations of the Emissaries, and raise too his level in the levels of the Prophets.

I ask of You Your Divine pleasure and for Paradise, O Lord of Creations, with well-being in religious and worldly life and in the Hereafter.

I ask of You death upon the Book, the Prophetic Way and Community and upon the testament of faith, without change or alteration.

By Your grace and excellence towards me, forgive me for what I have sinned. Indeed You are the Oft- Returning, the Most Merciful, and may God send blessings upon our liegelord Muhammad ﷺ and on his folk and his Companions.

Whoever builds his faith exclusively on demonstrative proofs and deductive arguments, builds a faith on which it is impossible to rely. For he is affected by the negativities of constant objections. Certainty (al-yaqin) does not derive from the evidences of the mind but pours out from the depths of the heart.
Ibn Arabi (RA)

Empiricism is not enough in making the best of decisions.
