"Verily my soul which is laden evil did not heed the advice.
Due to its ignorance, from the warning by grey hair and old age.
And I have not prepared, for good deeds, a feast,
For a guest (that) has lodged on (my) head nor did I honour (him).
Had I known that I would not be able to honour him (it).
I would have concealed my secret, which is exposed, by dyeing.
Who is there that can restrain my wayward-self from its waywardness.
Just as unmanageable horses are restrained by resins.
Do not try, through sinning, to subdue sensual desires.
For verily food, only increases sensual desires.
Your self (desires) is like when breastfed.
Loves suckling but when you wean it, will stop.
Then stop its inclinations and beware that it does not overpower you.
Verily lust whenever it overpowers (it will) kill or maim (your character).
And guard it while it is grazing in (the field of ) actions
If it enjoys pasture, do not let it roam (graze) freely.
How often has pleasure been considered good, whereas it turned out to be deadly.
Because he does not know that there is poison in the fat.
And fear the evil of (both) hunger and satiation.
For most times hungers (poverty) is more evil that overeating.
And shed tears from those eyes which have become full.
Of forbidden sights and regard it as obligatory (upon yourself) to guard your eyes from forbidden things.
And oppose (your) self (nafs) and shaytaan and disobey them both.
And if both of them give you sincere advice regard it as lies.
And do not obey them both (nafs and shaytaan) as an enemy or as a wise (person).
For you know well the deception of (such) an enemy or a wise (person).
I seek forgiveness from Allah from such sayings (preachings) which I do practice upon.
For verily I have attributed (claimed), through this, offspring from a barren woman.
I command you to do good but I do not command myself to do the same.
And I was not steadfast ( on deen) so then of what use (value) is my saying to you: "Be steadfast!" (on deen).
And I made no provisions before death of voluntary (nafl) worship.
And I did not perform salaat nor did I fast except what was obligatory."
~Chapter Two of Qasidah Burdah Sharif

The Spiritual Journey

Is not the outcome of empty practices,
And machinated habits.
Neither an attempt to mete out the sacrilegious,
Nor the desire to be overly zealous.

Rather it is the yearning
To so desperately feel the heart
Be in rhythm with all else that so voluntarily
Praises and delights in the Living.

It is the ardent desire
To live as a transparent vessel
So that nothing may amiss this newfound vision.

It is the discovery
That this realm is but a River;
Where the currents are not always harsh,
Nor always self-born.

And that everything is in your favor,
If you but steer it so,
Or gently understand its course.

To accept that sometimes
The most valuable lessons
Are those learned from the shorelines
That you have awashed upon..

From a friend..

"O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light, and in my sight light , and below me light, and above me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light, and behind me light. Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light. O Allah, grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light.O Allah, make for me a light in my grave...and a light in my bones. increase me in light, increase me in light, increase me in light. Grant me light upon light."

"...The Believers are only those who, when God is mentioned, their hearts quake, and when His signs are recited to them, it increases them in belief, and in their Lord they put their trust;
those who establish the Prayer, and expend of that We have provided them;
those in truth are the Believers; they have ranks with their Lord, and forgiveness and generous provision..."~Surah Anfal Ayahs Two-Four

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri Radhi'Allahuanhu said: The Messenger of Allah Sal'Allahualayhiwasalam said, "Allah, the Rubb of Honour and Glory, will say to the inhabitants of Jannah: `O inhabitants of Jannah!' They will respond: `Here we are! At Your service, O our Rubb. All good is in Your Hand!' He will ask them: `Are you pleased?' They will reply: `Why should we not be pleased, O Rubb, when You have given us what You have not given to any of Your creatures?' Allah will say: `Shall I not give you something better than that?' They will ask: `O Rubb! What can be better than that?' Allah will say: `I shall bestow My Pleasure upon you and I shall never be displeased with you.'''
