The Naqshbandi Sufi Tradition Guidebook of Daily Practices and Devotions by Muhammad Hisham Kabbani,Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani Pdf
One of the distinguished schools of Islamic spiritual discipline, the Naqshbandi Sufi Order has a long and illustrious history from the first days of Islam. Led by the shaykhs of the Golden Chain-inheritors of spiritual knowledge from Prophet Muhammad-the Naqshbandi Order has always played a central, pivotal role in the life of people in the Muslim world and survived the turmoil and tribulations of the past century to remain one of the few authentic mystical traditions maintaining a living link with its ancient past. The extraordinary vision of the Naqshbandi Saints was manifest in their establishment of fixed devotions and daily practices firmly rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet. These practices have enabled devout seekers to awaken certainty of belief and to attain stations of nearness to the Divine Presence. The renewed prominence of this order at the turn of the 21st century, due to the indefatigable striving of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, signals an impending change to our society in which aspirants to Divine Service will be granted to transcend the bounds of the physical senses in order to fulfill the unexplored potential in each human heart. The Naqshbandi Devotions are a source of light and energy, an oasis in a worldly desert. Through the manifestations of Divine Blessings bestowed on the practitioners of these magnificent rites, they will be granted the power of magnanimous healing, by which they seek to cure the hearts of mankind darkened by the gloom of spiritual poverty and materialism. We pray that each person who picks up this book of devotions with sincere intention to observe any of its efficacious practices will receive a portion of the blessings and manifestations bestowed on the greatest saints of earlier times.

Abi Talib, son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, first Shi'i imam and fourth caliph, is a monumental figure within the Islamic tradition. But despite the immense importance of Ali, there is a dearth of literature in Western languages about his life and thought. This book - the first serious engagement in English with the intellectual principles underpinning his teachings - is therefore a welcome and valuable addition to the sources available. It consists of three parts. Part one introduces the person of Ali in a general manner, and focuses particularly on the spiritual and ethical content of his teachings. Part two evaluates Ali's 'sacred conception of justice'. Part three addresses the theme of spiritual realization through the remembrance of God, the central mystical practice of the Sufis. Justice and Remembrance will be of great value to students and scholars of Islamic thought, as well as to those interested in the relationship between spirituality and ethics.
Peace Be Upon Islam by Abdelfattah Mohsen Badawi Pdf
This book deals with morals in Islam, improving self-image by nonattachment to objects, attachment to God, and moral enrichment. There is perfect compatibility between Islam and yoga on the highest level and also resemblance of Islamic prayers and yoga asanas. Enlightenment is the full-body realization and acceptance of the oneness of God (Allah). Religion can only be taught properly by spiritually enlightened masters. Constant remembrance of God enables the seeker to reach the Divine Presence, and hearts become at peace in the remembrance of God, and through its practice, a window of light opens where one can witness the souls of angels realize oneness with God. The book describes contemplative prayer, meditation, and silence that are best practiced in solitude apart from religious organizations, corporate worship, and group activity to find inner peace. In the domain of spiritual life, the efficient energy of the Supreme Principle signifies the celestial energy and allows one to enter into contact with divinity and leads to self-realization, which is the basic qualification for any spiritual teacher that grants him inner peace and bliss. The book reports that the fulfillment of all religions lie in gaining for man all that is necessary for finding the superior spirit, which is within all of us. Universal religion has a distinctive role to play, indicating that all religions are one.
This book is an in-depth, comparative study of two of the most popular and influential intellectual and spiritual traditions of West Africa: Tijani Sufism and Ifa. Employing a unique methodological approach that thinks with and from—rather than merely about—these traditions, Oludamini Ogunnaike argues that they contain sophisticated epistemologies that provide practitioners with a comprehensive worldview and a way of crafting a meaningful life. Using theories belonging to the traditions themselves as well as contemporary oral and textual sources, Ogunnaike examines how both Sufism and Ifa answer the questions of what knowledge is, how it is acquired, and how it is verified. Or, more simply: What do you know? How did you come to know it? How do you know that you know? After analyzing Ifa and Sufism separately and on their own terms, the book compares them to each other and to certain features of academic theories of knowledge. By analyzing Sufism from the perspective of Ifa, Ifa from the perspective of Sufism, and the contemporary academy from the perspective of both, this book invites scholars to inhabit these seemingly “foreign” intellectual traditions as valid and viable perspectives on knowledge, metaphysics, psychology, and ritual practice. Unprecedented and innovative, Deep Knowledge makes a significant contribution to cross-cultural philosophy, African philosophy, religious studies, and Islamic studies. Its singular approach advances our understanding of the philosophical bases underlying these two African traditions and lays the groundwork for future study.
A Perspective on the Signs of Al-Quran by Saeed Malik Pdf
It is clear in every page of this brilliant work that it was written from a heartfelt perspective. A must read for every student of life, love, spirituality, and of course the Quran."--Whitney Cannon, founder Taleef Collective, Fremont, California.
The remembrance of Allah is a form of charity that can take us one step closer to Allah and the Gardens of Paradise! We must praise Allah. We must beg Him for forgiveness of our sins. We must ask Him for success in this life and in the Hereafter. And we must increase our remembrance of Him and keep our tongues moist with His remembrance. The successful Muslim is one who truly knows in their hearts that their ultimate return is to Allah. And as such, they prepare themselves by doing those things that will make their scales heavy with goodness on the Day of Reckoning. It is these Believers who attain the pleasure of Allah and it is these Believers who Allah allows them to see Him on that ultimate day of days. Sometimes we think that Paradise is not possible. We think of what we've done and feel doomed. But we must remember that Allah knows of our shortcomings. He knows of the trials we must face each and every day of our lives for He is the All Knowing. Allah is also the All Merciful and He gives us a way to redeem ourselves, even at our weakest moments. It is through the remembrance of Allah and our acts of kindness and charity, that we can help ourselves and improve our standing for that final judgement day, Inshallah. What have we got to lose? For every second we waste not remembering Allah, the further away we get from Jannat. The more time we spend in remembering Allah, the further we get from the punishment of Hell. A person should never lose hope in Allah's mercy for there is no limit to His mercy. This book is an attempt to compile the most commonly used Islamic prayers from Quran and Sunnah that one can use for the daily prayers, Umrah, Hajj, Ramadan and any time that one wishes to supplicate, in one book. This book is not a compilation of the daily prayers one should learn for daily life activities like how to give Salam or what to say when one eats or goes to sleep or goes out on a journey. This book is a compilation of prayers and dhikr that one can use for Salat and for performing Dhikr of Allah. This book is divided into sections to make it easier for the reader to use while praying or simply when they want to praise Allah or ask Him for forgiveness. There is a section on the different types of Dhikr that one can recite for a given purpose but most are for the praise of Allah and asking Him for forgiveness, for Paradise and success in this life and in the Hereafter. This book does not contain all the Arabic versions for the prayers but concentrates on transliterating and translating the prayers for non-Arabic readers or for those who find it easier to read the transliteration much more quickly than the Arabic text. "Allahummagh-firlee, warhamnee, wahdinee, w'afinee, warzuqnee" - O' my Lord! Forgive me, have mercy upon me, guide me, keep me safe [from afflictions], and provide for me! "Rabbana la tuzigh quloobana ba'da iz hadaytana wa hablana milladunka rahmahtan, innaka antal-wah'hab" - Our Lord! Let not our hearts deviate now after You have guided us, and Grant us mercy from Your presence for you are the grantor of bounties without measure. "Rabbana atina fid-duniya hasanatan wafil akhirati hasanatan wa qina a'zabannar." - Our Lord! Grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and save us from the chastisement of the fire! And all that is good comes from Allah and all that I have made mistakes or said in error come only from me, and may Allah forgive me for my mistakes. Ameen.

Voices of Islam by Virginia G. Blakemore-Henry,Vincent J. Cornell,Omid Safi Pdf
Despite frequent and extensive publications on Islam, very few Americans, indeed very few non-Muslims, truly understand the faith or the more than one billion adherents who live it. This set presents the diversity and richness of Islam, filling in the blanks and expanding our knowledge and understanding. Portraying Muslims in all their humanity and diversity balances the images that have bombarded society and presents the reader with a fuller and more accurate picture of the Islamic faith and what it means to live as a Muslim—in Muslim communities, and as part of a broader tapestry of pluralism in the nations of the world. What does it mean to share Muslim concerns? To experience Muslim spirituality? What is the difference between Sunni and Shiite sects? Why do Muslims pray so frequently? What is the reality of Muslim marriage and gender relations? What is the meaning of jihad and martyrdom to a practicing Muslim? What role do the arts and humanities play in modern Muslim life? How are Islamic children raised? These questions and others are answered in these volumes, which bring together Muslim voices from around the world, including men and women, scholars and laypersons, fundamentalists and progressives, and others from various cultural, political, and Islamic backgrounds. Personal experiences and poetry are included to illustrate the many different expressions of Islam.
