Things of high value are hard to attain, precious stones are rare in existence, gold is found deep down underground, one have to seek laboriously to find their abode and have to dig deep to unearth them. What could be more precious than the knowledge of the Lord? His knowledge (maarifat) is the most valuable GEM, it is the source of wisdom and the root of all sciences, the origin of truth and the light of real guidance. Gold and diamonds are less than a mere stone in his vault of wealth, so all pains are worth withstanding in seeking Him, gradually but surely He will be pleased with those who seek His pleasure and accept those who seek His acceptance. In reality it is the only war worth fighting for in this battle ground called life, war with your own self and against your own ego.

By Shaykh Hamdi Ben Aissa

What is authenticity? Who are you? Yes, you should be yourself. But who is that?

You are not your ego. You cannot identify with it. The dead stones and statue that make up your ego are not you.

And so we must never say, about that which comes from the ego: 'this is how I am' 'you have to accept me as I am'

Authenticity is to want to be as God wants you to be: 'I am a slave of God!' as Prophet Isa said, the words he spoke when he was but a babe.

Base your identity on God.

"He who knows himself knows his Lord" is a saying of the Wise Ones.

If becoming aware of our faults is not part of the exercise of going towards the true knowing of your true self, this awareness could become an obsession or a veil, a spiritual suicide. In fact, there are many who have left the path because they have taken their faults to heart and swallowed them as a poison.

Knowing your incapacity, your ignorance, your tendency to sins, it is not knowing yourself. It is a STEP *towards* knowing your Self. It should give us humility; it closes the door of arrogance and the ego; it prevents one having confidence and trust in the ego; and now you can start a true journeying to God.

No second one. That Holy name gives that huge meaning. Don't think that Allah Almighty is creating and giving Iike a factory. No!

The veins through our body, and our nervous system. How is it sustained? And who arranged it? How am I in existence and living? How is this breathing system working? And this digestion system! How are my eyes looking? Who designed our ears to be where there are, and not on the top of our head. How are you asking, "How is Allah?". Instead ask, "How am I?", "How were my inward and outward organs designed'?". One thousand how.

Shaitan is making people ask what is not for them. You can't imagine eternity. People are using their minds in an un-safe way. You must know your limits. Don't be proud.

You are here to learn about something, which belongs to eternity.

Don't try and learn about what is around yourself. Learn about the Designer.

ONE HOURS' CONTRMPLATION IS WORTH SEVENTY YEARS' WORSHIP.

GO EVEN UNTO CHINA IN SEARCH OF KNOWLEDGE. (Hadith)

By this Rasullullah did not mean ordinary knowledge that you may find everywhere. No. He meant secret and hidden knowledge, which is not for everyone. (at that time China was the furthest and most unknown of all lands).

For such knowledge, you must ask for one who knows. Then go to that one.

Allah is the One and Only ‘True God’. There is no True God except Allah. Allah is Exalted above His ‘Arsh ( Mighty Throne). We must know Allah SWT With His Most Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes As Allah SWT Himself has mentioned. We (all creatures) will Surely return to Allah SWT.  Only by worshiping Allah SWT Alone, we can reach to our Final Goal and ultimately can be succeed. “In the Qur’an, Allah, Exalted is He, invites people to acquire ma’rifah; or knowledge and gnosis [of Him], via two ways: Firstly, by reflecting upon the divine handiwork [in creation] and secondly, by contemplating over the Qur’an and pondering over its meanings.

Who is Allah? How to know Him?
