Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
"Infinite and innumerable are the ways that lead to the Lord. You may take it that there are as many and numerous ways as there are people in creation. Everyone is treading his chalked out path according to his capacity. I practically entered every one of these paths and found that someone or other was pursuing it. There was no path that was empty of people. Then I prayed to the Lord, "Show me the Path which none dares to enter, and where except Thee and me be none when I take it." The Lord pointed out the Path of the anguish of soul (gham wa andoh). It means that whosoever desires to pursue this Path of Love of the Lord shall not fear pain and trouble that may befall in the way. One should follow His commandments ungrudgingly and remember Him for His unfailing conferment’s. One should always be offering gratitude to Him."
By Abu Hassan Khirqani Rehmatullahi ’Alaih

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem"Travel beyond the confines of this life and see the vastness of His kingdom beyond space. Let your ear listen to what it has not heard before, and your eye see what it has not seen, until it leads you to where you see the One of the world and all the worlds. Express your passion for the One from your heart and soul until you see the Reality with the eye of certainty. There is only One and nothing but Him, He is Alone and there is no God but Him."
( Imam Muhammad Ibn 'Ali Al Baqir ) amin

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
The Names…have existed from all eternity: these Names are designated as "Lords" ( Arbab ), who often have all the appearance of hypstases though they cannot strictly be defined as such. We know them only by our knowledge of ourselves (that is the basic maxim). God describes Himself to us through ourselves. Which means that the divine Names are essentially relative to the beings who name them, since these beings discover and experience them in their own mode of being…Thus the divine Names have meaning and full reality only through and for beings…in which they are manifested. Likewise from all eternity, these forms, substrate of the divine Names, have existed in the divine Essence ( A 'yan thabita ). And it is these latent individualities who from all eternity have aspired to concrete being in actu. Their aspiration is itself nothing other than the nostalgia of the divine Names yearning to be revealed. And this nostalgia of the divine Names is nothing other than the sadness of the unrevealed God, the anguish He experiences in His unknown-ness and occultation.
( p. 114-115 )

You should imagine everyone whom you see as better than yourself, even though someone may be obedient and someone else disobedient, since it might be that the obedience of the former is the last of his acts of obedience while the sinfulness of the latter is the last of his sinful acts.

Do not turn to the creation for assisitance but ask for your needs only from ALLAH.Where circumstances make it neccessary to approach one of the creations for some aid,then the first step is to fill one's heart with the love of ALLAH,and ALLAH in turn would guide the individual towards his goal which may be achieved through the instrument of any creation through the Will of ALLAH.Thus the assistance is directly from ALLAH through the agency of HIS choice.

The sign of a Believer is that he makes genuine efforts to earn a halaal livelihood instead of remaining idle and relying upon Fate.In this manner his efforts would reap sustenance as well as rewards and even if there is not much success in attracting sustenance,he would still earn the full rewards.

For the one who remembers God, invoking unites his dispersed heart and pervades his will and his broken resolve. It scatters his sadness, his sin, and the forces of Satan and his followers. [Miftah al Falah]

Maulana Jalaaluddeen Rumi (alaihir rahmah) has furnished a beautiful example in his famous Masnavi. He says: "Human life is similar to a boat which needs sufficient water to keep afloat and water is similar to human necessities. This water should always be under the boat in a limited quantity to help keep it afloat. If the water increases, floods and enters inside the boat, then the boat and all the passengers will be in risk."
Wassalamu 'alaykum

Know however that God, in order to manifest Himself by His essence to His essence, has not need of creatures since, with relation to Essence, he is absolutely independent with respect to worlds and even with respect to His own names…On the other hand, when He manifests Himself with His names and His attributes --- which implies the manifestation of the effects --- He needs ( huwa muftaqir ) the creatures…This relation is… necessary in order that the divine Names, Which are only distinguished by their effects, can be distinguished from one another. At the same time, the divine Names, by the one of their "faces" which is turned toward the Essence, are themselves totally autonomous with respect to worlds. In this respect, they are nothing other than the Essence itself and that is why each of them can be qualified and designated by all of the other Names in the same way as the Essence.

Faith in God Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu
Subhanallah some great quotes and hadiths
Ibrahim Adham Rehmatullahi ’Alaih said, “Faith in God will be firmly established if three veils are cast aside:
1. Feeling pleasure in possessing anything.
2. Lamenting over the loss of anything.
3. Enjoying self-praise.
(Al-Ghazzali)

By Hadrat Nizamuddin Awlia (Rahmatullahi alaihi) in Fawaid-ul-Fuad[17] : "None can be converted to Islam either by sword or by dialogue; But good character is more effective than sword or dialogue. Before converting someone it is most essential that one must first be a real Muslim."
Maybe sometimes you're the only Islam/Muslim a non-Muslim will ever see. You never know who is following your actions. So keep up the good work. Islam zindabad! Wassalamu 'alaykum

Abstain from being an enemy of Allah’s obedient servant. Allah will never assign him to your control. If he is a sinner, refrain from being his enemy because he will see the consequences of his misdeeds.

The Noble Prophet (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam) (Allah's grace and peace be upon him) has said, When (a kind hearted man) of my Ummah fulfills the necessities of a Muslim brother with intentions to please him, he pleases me. And one who pleases me, he pleases Allah Who will admit him in the Paradise.
