حضرت حکیم الامت مولانا اشرف علی تھانوی قدس اللہ سرہ فرماتے ہیں،
“ایک شخص شاہ ولی اللہ صاحب رحمۃ اللہ علیہ کے پاس آیا اور عرض کیا کہ،
 ’حضرت میرا قلب جاری ہوگیا ہے۔’
 آپ نے حاضرین سے فرمایا کہ دل کے دھڑکنے کو قلب کا جاری ہونا نہیں کہتے۔

Baba Najam Ahsan (may Allah have mercy on him) said,
“Love increases, eventually to a stage that its sensation annihilates and it is assimilated into the entity of beloved. (That is, our feelings & emotions (hal) undergo metamorphosis and the state (maqam) of keeping the beloved really happy emerges.)
I provide a few simple examples to make […]

O Allah! make me cognizant of my real status and save me from complex ignorance & arrogance.
And facilitate for me the first step of spiritual journey (sulook) : the self annihilation (fana) and give me complete servitude with the Sunna humility and serenity.  
Amin!

Having a clear perspective of Tasawwuf’s reality is essential from the very start of the spiritual journey.
That is, what is the goal and means to reach it?
Hakim al-Umma Mawlana Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi (may Allah have mercy on him) made this vividly clear upfront to every seeker who approached him for spiritual reformation (islah).
People with their creative imagination, knowledge […]

دین اسلام

Love is the flame which, when it blazes,
consumes everything other than the Beloved.
The lover weilds the sword of Nothingness
in order to dispatch all but God:
consider what remains after Nothing.
There remains but God: all rest is gone.
Praise to you, O mighty Love, destroyer of all other “gods.”
Rumi، رح
Mathnawi V, 588-590

“ صاحب نسبت ہونے کی علامات یہ ہے کہ
 حق تعالی ہی کو ہر چیز کا فاعل مشاہدہ کرے،
 مخلوق کے فعل سے نظر بالکل اٹھ جاوے۔
 کسی فعل میں مخلوق کو خدا کا شریک نہ پاۓ […]
