A Muslim Convert Once More

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ The following is a transcript of a lecture given by Mawlana Wafi’ Muhammad.   The Merciful Lord Who is High above His Creation has Allocated for Himself Divine Attributes which are to be the terms of reference for man who is required to represent Him here on Earth.  He Says:   سُوۡرَةُ الرُّوم … فِطۡرَتَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّتِى فَطَرَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَيۡہَا‌ۚ لَا تَبۡدِيلَ لِخَلۡقِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ … (٣٠)   … (Establish) Allah’s Handiwork according to the pattern on which He has Made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: ... (Surah ar-Rum:30)   It is without doubt a great blessing for man, a finite creature, to be Selected by the All-Knowing, Infinite Being to be able to manifest something the “Habits of God”, contained in His Divine Personality, in our earthly life.  Every Attribute is equally important and has its benefits.  Perhaps, this is a reason Allah ( s.w.t. ) Makes them known to us.  He Says:   سُوۡرَةُ الاٴعرَا

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ Shaykh ‘Abd al-Hakim Murad Timothy John Winter said, “The saint says a few simple things, and changes the world.  The academic philosophises, but does not change even himself.”

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ The following is my answer to a Quora question: “ How do I know Allah ( s.w.t. ) Accepted my fast this Ramadhan? ”   Unless you are some great wali , and have an Explicit Sign, you do not know.  None of us do.  What we can do is husn azh-zhan , have good thoughts of Allah’s ( s.w.t. ) Generosity and Mercy, and believe so.  Our ‘ibadah is generally Accepted by Allah ( s.w.t. ), unless there is some great nifaq , hypocrisy in its commission, and even them, His Mercy may Cause Allah ( s.w.t. ) to Relent.  This Acceptance is due to the intercession of the Prophet ( s.a.w. ) and for the sake of the awliya’ for the ummah .

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ The following is my answer to a Quora question: “ If a muslimah gets her period in Ramadhan, then should she hide it from her parents? ”   That is plain stupid.  She is having her period.  She is not taking part in human blood sacrifice to summon Satan.  What is there to hide?  Muslim families are quite familiar with the fact that women have times in the month when they cannot pray or fast.  There is nothing special about this.
