Weekly Pearls of Wisdom- Ahmed Hulusi

 

Suffering is the result of carrying & re-living this moment in the next moment rather than leaving it here & being ever-present in the “now”.

Which freedom can you talk about when you are constantly being programmed and herded by the society in which you live!?

How little you thank! How can you overlook the blessings of your Rabb?

 

Dear Maha!

You cannot reach new heights, explore new dimensions, if your every thought is centered around the demon of Eating Disorder. If you want to experience the essence of reality then you have to destroy this demon inside your head. There’s no way you can become ‘baqi’ ‘everlasting’  if your mind is crowded with compulsive addictive thoughts. The true path to salvation, freedom is complete death of your Eating Disorder.

Allah says, “None exists other than My countenance.” Why then make your life miserable by arguing with Him & criticizing the things He does?

 

If you can’t surrender your entire being to your beloved you’re a fake lover!

 

True purification costs everything… It may cost our belongings, our loved ones, our identity and everything that is attached to it!
One who lives according to “others” cannot be free! One who is “herded” cannot speak of freedom.

 

There is not an instance of idleness in the universe. You’re either getting closer or further away.

 

Freedom is to live your life with your own intellect and in line with your own knowledge.

 

If you are troubled or grieved by something, stop blaming others and ask yourself, “Where am I going wrong?”

 

One who claims, “The world should revolve as I please and everyone should live their lives as I like” has been created to ‘burn’!

 

May our Rabb enable the realization and evaluation of the realities disclosed by Muhammad (saw) with ease.

 

Your brain is the manifestation center of Allah’s will and power! Believe, trust and apply without doubt. You will succeed.

 

Everything is lived and lost; LOVE is Everlasting!

 

Truth is completely different to what is perceived!

 

Your love is to the extent you show it. The extent to which you don’t show it is your ego!

 

There is no compulsion and insistence in religion; lest it leads one to hypocrisy!

 

To idolize is to invoke an external god with words & actions you don’t understand. To worship is to know & live the meaning of your actions.

 

No one is accountable for another. Everyone lives the outcome of his or her world. An un-purified world, life void of intellect and query is sad.

 

Your judgments form preconceptions, which lead to emotions. You can never see nor evaluate the reality until you purify your self from them!

 

Do not blame others based on your assumptions without knowing their reasons; try to understand them, lest you become regretful.
