'People are like “metals”, according to one narration of the Prophet Muhammad (saw). Some people are like a cheap bracelet plated in gold: the smallest crisis files away the fake gold to reveal the cheap metal underneath. Others are like a gold bracelet covered in rust: hardship rubs away the rust to bring out the gold below to the surface. And a third type are solid gold, inside and out: calamity just polishes the gold so it sparkles from near and far.'
- Political detainee, Babar Ahmad

Everything besides Allah is Baatil
Many a pen has moved in the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the night, as philosophers, thinkers and writers exercised their minds, thoughts and emotions in trying to uncover the fine - yet apparent - realities of this finite and temporal world of existence. Many were so misguided that they even wondered and grappled with the idea of whether a Creator even existed, and others took it to the next step and wondered if God existed then what were His characteristics and what meaning would His characteristics hold for the human being? Indeed our Beloved...

The Awliya (Beloved) of Allah
The Muslim believes that Allah the Almighty has chosen some of His servants to be His devotees, making them act in obedience, and honouring them with His Love, and giving them of from His grace. He is their Supporter, loves them and draws them nearer to Him. In turn, they are His devotees who love and revere Him. They do whatever He commands them and recommend others to do the same. They refrain from whatever He forbids and advise others to refrain from it. They love what He loves and hate what He hates. If they ask Him, He gives...

Ten Pointers on How to be a Devoted Slave of Allaah
Sufyaan al-Thawri said, “Faith is not wishes or pretence, rather it is what settles in the heart and is proven by actions.” The sincere believer has a heart like a burning coal, hence it was narrated by al-Haakim in his Mustadrak and al-Tabaraani in his Mu’jam with an authentic chain that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “ Faith wears out in your heart as clothes wear out, so ask Allaah to renew the faith in your hearts.” The believer’s heart may sometimes feel overwhelmed by clouds of sin. This was portrayed to us by the Prophet...

The Signs of Allaah’s Love for His Slave
The love of Allah is a serious and weighty matter, which none attain but very few of the righteous slaves of Allaah. The love of Allaah is “the status for which the righteous compete and strive… It is the nourishment of hearts and souls… the delight of the eyes… It is the life of which one who is denied it is dead… the light which the one who loses it is in deep darkness… the healing of which the one who is denied is sick… the joy which the one who is deprived of it lives...

Those Who Yearn for Allah
As for the desire for Allah (raghbah), wanting Him (lit. His Countenance) and yearning for the meeting with Him, then it is the capital of the slave, the foundation of his affair, the basis of his life of goodness, the source of his (true) happiness, success and bliss, and it is the coolness of his eye. For this reason he was created and for it he has been commanded. The Messengers have been sent and the books have been revealed also for this purpose. There is no rectification or bliss for the heart unless its desire is solely for Allah,...
