Suhba Pearls
"The only escape from Allah, is to Allah"- Shaykh Nuh, in response to a question that ended with: "...so theres no escape from Allah?"
Bismillah
...that darknesses and tribulations upon the heart were from the wisdom of Allah and were to teach us to appreciate the blessings we have...he used the example that love after having being rejected is more sweeter than recieving love without any effort...so the lights that come to us after the darknesses of tribulation are sweeter than just receiving blessings without having suffered for them...
...that the key to the universe is la ilaha ilAllah...that all actions are but the action of Allah...true tawheed...
...that dhikr is the reason for existence...that we should take a moment to ready ourselves for the Divine Presence before beginning our dhikr...
...that the Divine Presence is a gift...so we have to show gratitude for it...
...that dhikr without the heart connecting to Allah is not dhikr at all...
...that dhikr is the greatest joy any of us can achieve...
...that dhikr burns of the shaitaan...
...that iman, complete tawakkul and genuineness in one's slavehood defeats shaitaan..
...that proper manners - adab - is the key to everything...
...that it is Allah that sends down tribulation and only He that can remove them...tawheed again...
...that there is nothing in existence except theactions of Allah...and that experiencing this is jannah for the arifeen...
...that the goal of the path is Allah, not spiritual stations, miracles, etc...
...that the rules of the shariah are for our benefit, not Allah's...
...that in everything we do, we should ask: 'what's in it for Allah?'...and if it's nothing, then we should junk it...
...and much much more.
Shaykh said...."the sign of bad character is someone who argues a lot"
"Anyone who understands the reality of the hellfire would not want a single non-Muslim to enter it."
A bogus sufi said "A true sufi is one who can pluck bars of gold from thin air". Shaykh Abdul Wakil heard this and said "No, a true sufi is who when a bar of gold is pick pocketed from him the state of his heart doesn't change".
