Paradise One

If you haven’t already noticed, I’ve been making some changes to the look and layout of my blog. Much of the new graphics you see are taken from brother Yursil’s Flickr page, may Allah (swt) reward him for his work. ameen.

InshaAllah I will be in the process of making a lot more changes in the weeks to come.

Some of the new features already added are the ‘Islamic Resources’, ‘Sohbet’, and ‘Sultanul Awliya’ tabs. A few words on each:

The purpose of the ‘Islamic Resources’ page is basically to create an online database of links to various sites that contain beneficial Islamic knowledge. At the moment, I’ve added sites to the categories of Quran, Tafseer, Hadith, and Fiqh, but inshAllah my intention is to create categories for all the major Islamic sciences and disciplines as well as links to various institutes of knowledge.

‘Sohbet’ is basically a collection of discourses from my beloved shaykh, Shaykh Abdul Kerim al-Kibrisi. MashaAllah, he is by far the most inspiring and influential person I have ever come in contact with and elhamdulilah, I cannot thank Allah (swt) enough for granting me the tremendous blessing of his company. His words are filled with light and wisdom, and inshAllah I hope that you will take the opportunity to benefit from them.

‘Sultanul Awliya’ is a page dedicated to my murshid, Shah Sultan Mevlana Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Hakkani. When I think about my feelings for this man, I remember the Hadith which tells of a type of person who is so beloved to Allah (swt) that He tells Angel Gabriel (alaihi salam) to announce throughout the entire heavens and earth that Allah (swt) loves so-and-so, and thus, all of creation begins to love this individual despite that fact that they may not have ever met them. SubhanAllah.

May Allah (swt) allow us all to benefit immensely from Shaykh Mevlana, and grant him a long, blessed life. ameen.

Stay tuned for more changes inshAllah.

Asalamu alaikum.
