Certainly Allah has put me above you in every way, and He made my wives higher that your wives” (Kadı İyaz, Şifâ-i Şerif, Trans: Naim Erdoğan-Hüseyin S. Erdoğan, Bedir Publishing, pg: 176) * * * The Rasûlullâh -sallâllâhu aleyhi ve sellem- said: “All of you say this: «Allâhümme salli alâ Muhammedin ve ezvâcihî ve zürriyyâtihî kemâ salleyte alâ ibrâhime. Ve bârik alâ Muhammedin ve ezvâcihî ve zürriyyâtihî kemâ bârekte alâ İbrâhime. İnneke hamîdün mecîd.» (Mean- ing: Allah!... Send your blessings to the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and his wives and lineage like you sent to Hz. Abraham. Also make the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and he wives and family holy in the same way that you did Hz. Abraham Surely, you are the owner of all the praise and honor.)” (Buhârî, Kitâbu’l-Enbiyâ, 10; Müslim, Kitâbu’s-Salât, 17) * * * Abû Hüraira reported that Allah’s Prophet said: “He who wants to be glad by taking the great reward of giving blessings and peace to us; the Ehl-i Bayt; should say this: «Allâhümme salli alâ Muhammedi’n-Nebiyyi ve ezvâcihî ümmehâti’l-mü’minîne ve zürriyyetihî ve ehli beytihî kemâ salleyte alâ İbrâhime. İnneke hamîdün mecîd.»” (Ebû Dâvud, Kitâbu’s-Salât, Bâbu’s-Salâti Alâ’n-Nebiyy) Dedication: Only for him, the one I love the most, the Beloved!.. * * * To the one whom Hz. Hatice yearned for through out her years; to the unique pearl which caused Hazret-i Âişe to be jealous of her own eyes; to the love of Hazret-i Ümmü Habîbe; to the Prophet husband of Hz. Mâriye; to Allah’s messenger... * * * To the greatest masterpiece of Allah’s (swt) wonder, who was sent by Allah (swt) to mankind as a “Mercy to the Universe” and to the Believers as the “Greatest Example”; to the Greatest Prophet, to the Perfect Head of the Family, and to the Most Loved Messenger... to the high souls of his pure wives and the Ehl-i Bayt (his extended fam- ily)... * * * In spite of all my imperfections and mistakes, I hope this book will be the means to earn his high intercession... as : ‘Alaihi as-Salam; peace and blessings be upon him ‘Alaiha as-Salaam; peace and blessings be upon her, ‘Alaihum as-Salaam; peace and blessings be upon them. saw : Salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam”; may the blessing and the peace of Allah be upon him. r.ah : “Radıy Allahu Anha”; may Allah be pleased with her r.a : “Radıyallahu anh”; may Allah be pleased with him INTRODUCTION Limitless praises and thanks to our great Protector who bestowed upon us the honor of being in the Ummah (community) of Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who is the crown of the all the Prophets and was given the title Habîbullâh (Allah’s Beloved)! Limitless peace and blessings upon our Master, the Honorable Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who was sent as an eternal mercy to all the universe and as a deliverer, healer (of body and soul), guide, messenger of good news, intercessor, and boundless honor of the creation! Allah, the “All-Mighty”, bestowed Islam, the final and most perfect reli- gion, through the means of the Honorable Muhammad Mustafa (saw) who is the Mercy to the Universe. That great Prophet, through every behavior and word, is the “üsve-i hasene” or the greatest example to all of mankind. About this Allah, the All- Mighty, declared: “Indeed you have in the Prophet of Allah a exceelnt exemplar and who remembers Allah much.” (Ahzâb, 21) Allah, the All-Mighty, made him begin as an orphan, the one who holds the lowest rank in society due to their innate weakness; then he raised him through all of the ranks of life to the level of Commander of State and Prophet, which is the highest point of authority. 9 The Mothers of the Believers The stages in which our Master lived his life show the many ideal models of behavior required for every type of high and low that manifests in a human’s life. For this reason his life became an actual, concrete and perfect example to every human who finds themselves in any of these stages and conditions; they can copy him according to their strength and ability. He, with these qualifica- tions, is a unique masterpiece and the greatest favor and gift for humanity from Allah, the All-Mighty. One of the most important characteristics which form a perfect and concrete example of the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the way he lived his family life. He established a superior, most virtuous and happiest home with his wives who had different ages, cultures, abilities and characters. That home that he established was so full of patience and beauty that the scent of happiness covered them even though, for days, they were not able to cook a single hot meal (due to lack of food). In addition, in that holy home, the room of each wife was merely a place to lay one’s head. However, in that home the most delicious provisions were acceptance, patience, and submission. His education method that he practiced in his family life filled their hearts with a limitless devotion and affection. No wife can love their husband to the degree that the Holy Mothers loved the Prophet (saw). No husband can love his wife to the degree of the Messenger’s love for his holy wives. No child can love his or her father to the degree that Hz. Fatima loved her father. No father can love their child as much as Allah’s Messenger loved Hz. Fatima. This is also true for grandchildren... Our mother Hz. Fatima, the apple of the eye of the Ehl- Bayt, who was one of the rare roses of this exceptional rose garden, means many things to the mothers and fathers these days: her life was short but adorned with taqwa, the awareness of Allah (swt). She shows them, in a lively way, that raising a child required a big effort and responsibility and that the children’s futures where in Allah’s hands. The only purpose in that spiritual home; which had between its members a sense of deep affection, sacrifice, and attachment; was the reaching of Allah’s acceptance. İn that home the biggest worry was about losing Allah’s (swt) and His Messenger’s (saw) affection and acceptance. 10 The Mothers of the Believers The Prophet’s (saw) exceptional wives, were the recipient of the honor of being the “Mothers of the Believers” by Allah’s command. They observed the Prophet (saw) as he received the inspirations of Quran, and while he was praying, while he was reading Quran, eating, speaking, and sleeping: shortly, in every point of life, they were cognizant of his spiritual mysteries which were far from all other eyes. They past their lives with the sensitivity of deserving this big honor and vir- tue and they became, to the women of the ummah (community), the best guides and teachers. Thousands of hadiths were reported from them which explain the characteristics, attitude and sunnet (actions and sayings) of the Prophet (saw). The book that is in your hands; which tells the story of the perfect human and family head, and also that of his family life and his wives; is like the sum- mary of this very important and detailed subject. In society today; where many social and family problems are lived and divorce increases day by day, and the struggling children of these broken homes increase; we need to know the holy and model home of the Prophet (saw) very much: to the degree that we can smell the compassion, mercy, peace and inspi- ration! I congratulate my valuable student Halime Demiresik who prepared this book and I hope that it will fill an important emptiness.

  • Outline of Sufism: the Essentials of Islamic Spirituality Appears As One of Our Selections in the Perennial Philosophy Series
    World Wisdom The Library of Perennial Philosophy The Library of Perennial Philosophy is dedicated to the exposition of the timeless Truth underlying the diverse reli- gions. This Truth, often referred to as the Sophia Perennis— or Perennial Wisdom—finds its expression in the revealed Scriptures as well as in the writings of the great sages and the artistic creations of the traditional worlds. Outline of Sufism: The Essentials of Islamic Spirituality appears as one of our selections in the Perennial Philosophy series. The Perennial Philosophy Series In the beginning of the twentieth century, a school of thought arose which has focused on the enunciation and expla- nation of the Perennial Philosophy. Deeply rooted in the sense of the sacred, the writings of its leading exponents establish an indispensable foundation for understanding the timeless Truth and spiritual practices which live in the heart of all religions. Some of these titles are companion volumes to the Treasures of the World’s Religions series, which allows a comparison of the writings of the great sages of the past with the perennialist authors of our time.

    َر َم َضان Ramadan A Guide to the Exhibit April 13-May 13, 2021 Introduction 1. Qur’an. Bilingual: Arabic and Persian. Iran, 21st century. This contemporary Qur’an (with an interlinear Persian translation in blue) is opened to the verses concerning the observance of Ramadan. The pertinent passage begins on the left-hand page, seven lines down from the top: It is the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was revealed, as a guide to humanity, and clear proofs for guidance and distinguishing right from wrong. And whoever among you is present, they should fast in the month; and whoever is sick or on a journey, should fast on other days. God wants ease for you and does not want hardship for you; but to complete the period of fasting, and to glorify God for having guided you; and so that you might be grateful. (al-Baqara 2.185) 2. Qur’an. Dated Muharram 1254 AH / ca. 1876 CE. (Special Collections, Friedsam Memorial Library, St. Bonaventure University) This antique Qur’an is handwritten in black and red ink, with gold used for borders and the chapter (surah) headings.

According to Muslim tradition, the first five verses of this chapter were the first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) during the month of Ramadan in the year 610 CE in Mecca. In the name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful: Recite! In the name of your Lord who created, created humanity from a clot.

  • A Mystic Union: Reaching Sufi Women Cynthia A
    A Mystic Union: Reaching Sufi Women Cynthia A. Strong Sufism or Islamic mysticism was incorporated into orthodox Islam during the early Middle Ages. Sufi worldview and values, however, can often differ markedly from the faith of other Muslims. In this article Cynthia Strong explains Sufism’s history and attraction and suggests a biblical response. The rhythmic, mnemonic dhikr or chant of Sufi Muslims draws us into a world little known or understood by Westerners. It is a call that differs from the formal Muslim salat, or prayer; a call to a spiritual rather than family lineage; a search for salvation that ends in self-extinction rather than paradise. It is a way of self-discipline in the midst of emotion; a poetry that informs the heart rather than the mind; an ecstatic experience and, for many, a spiritual union that results in supernatural powers. For Sufi Muslims, the Five Pillars and the Shari’ah law can be dry and lifeless. Longing for a direct experience with God and a spiritual advisor who can guide them through the temptations of this world, Sufis belong to a community that brings unique spiritual dimensions to formal Islam. In its vitality, simplicity, aesthetics and worldwide links, Sufism poses a significant challenge to Christian mission. To address it, we must reflect not only on Sufi history and practice but also understand all we are and have in Christ Jesus. Reaching Sufis may urge us to recover some of the spiritual dynamic inherent in the gospel itself. A SHORT HISTORY OF SUFISM Sufism is often described as one of three Sects within Islam along with Sunnis and Shiites.

    Letter from Moulana Salāmun Alaykum, May Allāh bless you and your families. Our sincerest condolences to the Imām of our time, Imām Mahdī (AJ), our great Marāji and scholars, the Muslim Ummah, and all the believers on the commemoration of Sayyidah Fātimah’s (a) shahādah. Dear brothers and sisters, as we all know Sayyidah Zahrā' (a) gave special attention to teaching, nurturing and raising her kids. In these days of the martyrdom of our beloved Sayyidah Fātimah (a), we learn different aspects of her life. From her sadaqah, to her prayers, to her connection to the Holy Quran, and to her special tasbih. By the grace of Allāh, our team of scholars and educators at Kisa Kids had the tawfīq to put together this booklet for the days of Fātimah (a). These 5 lessons will insha’Allah help our kids to benefit, learn few points from the life of our beloved lady Sayyidah Fātimah az-Zahra' (a), and do special activities for each lesson so that they can keep it and remember it. Whether it is through activities at the masjid or at home, take these days as an opportunity to learn from the life of our beloved Sayyidah Fātimah (a) and remember to connect each day with one of her characteristics so our children can build a long, life lasting connection to Sayyidah Zahra (a). This connection will help them build their Islamic character by learning about being generous, praying for others, helping the needy, and keep Allāh (swt) and Ahlul Bayt (a) as their lanterns throughout their journey in this life.
