- Search for Allah,,if you did 60 rakaat per day, but you don't want to run to Allah by knowing Him, like Abu Hamid al Ghazali said: "La tasihhu ibadat man lam ya'rif Allah"..you just make your ritual ibadah and it doesn't make any change for your heart..
- There is difference between INFORMATION and REALISATION (Makrifah)
- "Ya Ayyuhannasu Innaka Kadihun Ila Robbika Kadhan Famulaqiih" : You are on a journey to Allah, the beginning of the journey must start with His love, walking until you find Him...if we start with LOVE, we will not give up..someone who seeking Allah, if he doesn't find Him yet, his heart still not resting, until he truly find Allah, so that his heart feel peace...Allah Azza wa Jalla said: "Ala bizikrillahi tatma'innul qulub"
- When someone forgets Allah, as he busy with His Nikmat rather than Mun'im, so ALLAH makes him forget himself...he doesn't know his own purpose in this worldly life...
- Zikr opposite Ghaflah...if you make Zikr but your heart doesn't remember Him, so you are not from Zakiriin...Manatiqah said, that normally thing is defined by its opposite (ex: day&night)..
- Allah promised us that "wallazina jahaduu fina lanahdiyannahum subulana"...
- Allah Toyyib wa la yaqbalu illa tToyyibah...sacrifice something precious to seek Allah... :)
- We do good, for the worthy one and not..because we doing good for the people who are worthy to receive good because they are worthy to receive good, besides, we do good to the unworthy people because we are worthy of them in doing good..
- اتق شر من أحسنت إليه
- To be good, we need to ijtihad...although we are in the highest maqam of Awliya'...see what have Maryam did in her time giving birth to Isa AS, even she is Shiddiqah, Allah still wants her to give efforts..."wa huzzi ilaiki bijiz'in nakhlati tusaqit 'alaihi rutoban janiyya.."
- The flame of Mahabbah will never off.. do not give up on seeking Allah
- See how Salman Al Muhammadiy (al-Farisi) was seeking Allah throughout a lot of non-Islamic scholars until he met Rasulallah SAW... (YouTube: How to Find Allah:: Shaykh Muhammad bin Yahya Al Ninowy)
- We cannot find Musthofiy (Allah SWT) except we find Musthofa (Rasulullah SAW) first....
- The one who loves Allah, his heart will smooth, easy to do good deeds, his heart is calm..this Dunya is for him, he gives everything and doesn't feel scared about his Rizk, "wa yut'imuna tTo'am 'ala hubbihi (hubbu Rasulillah) miskinan wa yatiman waasira,,innama nut'imukum li wajhillah..."
- Ibrahim b Adham, left his son orphan and all his eminence just to seek Allah SWT in this Dunya,,he has everything in Dunya once but he said that he didn't find Allah with it...
- Practice our Deen for our spiritual upgrading process, not a ritual...
