Silent Vibrations

The Life Absolute from which has sprung all that is felt, seen, and perceived, and into which all again merges in time, is a silent, motionless and eternal life which among the Sufis is called Zaat. Every motion that springs forth from this silent life is a vibration and a creator of vibrations. Within one vibration are created many vibrations; as motion causes motion so the silent life becomes active in a certain part, and creates every moment more and more activity, losing thereby the peace of the original silent life. It is the grade of activity of these vibrations that accounts for the various planes of existence. These planes are imagined to differ from one another, but in reality they cannot Read more [...]

Muraqaba is a sufi term that means fear, to inspect, to watch over, to take care of, to control, to look at one’s inner world, to be entranced, to think of the aim at all times, to look at Allah with the heart at all times, to keep the soul under control in order to protect the heart from bad deeds, to know that Lord knows every state of a person, to dismiss everything from one’s mind and be ready to receive inspiration from Allah by kneeling down and closing the eyes.

The existence of Jadu (magic) in the region of the Subcontinent has always been a focal point of public attention; this is the very reason why, in ancient eras, most outsiders considered India to be a realm of magic (Jadu Nagri). The Kala Jadu (black magic) of Bengal holds its own distinct and prominent status across the entire world even today. Initially, this magic was largely restricted to non-Muslim circles, but if one contemplates the generalized conditions and states of contemporary Muslims in the Subcontinent today, it becomes evident that the epidemic of Jadu has spread within the Muslim demographic of this land with such staggering rapidity over the last few decades that it evokes profound Read more [...]

Superstition

The practice of taking bad omens (Bad-shuguni) is inherently linked to the illusions of the heart (Tawahhum-e-Qalbi) and signs of spiritual darkness. In reality (Nafs-ul-Amr), it possesses absolutely no truth or validity. In our country, some people are so deeply mired in superstition that if they happen to sneeze while leaving for some work, they sit down, firmly believing that success will no longer be achieved in that task. If a dog shakes its ears along the way, or if someone inquires, "Where are you going?", they instantly construe it as a proof of failure and turn back immediately. Thousands of such superstitious notions are prevalent, which, after the Hindus, are mostly adhered to by Muslim Read more [...]
