I believe in being of service to mankind and try to eradicate evil and promote what I see as good.Sometimes I ' m not sure what that is though.It would be odd not to know what is good...you might understand what I am feeling if you delved into Al Ghazali's thoughts...you d have to go beyond dogma to get there.....Dr Sunoreply@blogger.comBlogger3211100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9333402.post-17560460561851039542011-08-10T12:13:00.004+08:002011-08-15T16:16:58.646+08:00

It is the morning of the last day of Ramadhan. I am feeling a little folorn and sad.I have no idea why though. Is it because I feel I should have achieved more in terms of purifying my heart? Is it because I did not have enough solitude time because the household is awake in the early morning hours? Is is because I did not pay enough attention to those who wanted and needed my attention?

"Praise be to Allah, the Rabb of all universes" Quran 1:2Hassan's reflection For everything all praise belongs to Allah. For the good as well as the bad, for the whole plan and scheme of things in this world, for the hope of paradise, for the fears in this world and the hellfire we owe so much thanks to Allah. Allah loves us, which is enough for us to be immensely thankful. Thinking of younger

We are spiritual beings in material world , We are sent here for training and we will leave behind everything except the skills we developed in training. Bearing this in mind , so many things we thought were so important simply fades into the background ."You will not attain the Good until you give freely of what you love."Quran 3:92 Hassan's reflection We need to ‘walk the talk’.

Enter in among my devotees and enter my garden Quran 89:29-30Hassan 's reflection:Nice surah. We will be tested both with difficult tasks as well as with honor and gifts. When we get gifts we need to give back to others, wherever we can, not being greedy for more. Our souls will be in rest and relaxation, pleased with ourselves and Allah pleased with us. It fits in nicely with the spirit

But speak of the gracious bounty of your Rabb Quran 93:11 Hassan's reflection Allah has done so much good for us, we need to be grateful and declare how well Allah has treated us. It’s like a teacher or parent who knows exactly the right blend of instruction, quizzes and mentoring that is needed to get us ready for our final exam. As much as it is difficult, it hurts much of the time, and we

Allah knows what is secret and what is manifest Quran 64:18 et al Hassan's reflection Allah knows everything. We cannot hide anything from Allah, so it’s best to surrender now. In our own world we spend so much effort creating plans to keep our own silly mistakes and accidents a secret. With Allah it is pointless as Allah is aware of everything. I think if we can put into practice this

Say “the spirit is an act from my Rabb” (soul is an activity of God) Quran 17:85Hassan Scott Odierno Our spirit or soul is what defines us. At the Day of Judgment it will be the very definition of us, and it will be seen how we treated our soul, whether we kept it clean or dirtied it. All the external stuff such as what we look like, our physical characteristics, what we did for a living and

"Do not seek destruction by your own hand" Quran 2: 195 Hassan's reflectionTo be a pessimist, there are a thousand and one ways for us to slip off the path of good and end up in hell. As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. With all these ways of potentially slipping up, it is ridiculous for us to actively seek to destroy ourselves and our chance at paradise. Is

"And Allah loves the patient." Quran 3:46 Hassan's reflection We can never know Allah’s plan completely. We can guess, but more often than not we will not quite get it right. This means that most times what we think we want and need will not completely agree with what Allah has planned for us. Thus we need to be patient with our difficulties and have faith that Allah knows best. Along this

"Allah is the One, the Victorious " Quran 13:16 Hassan's reflection Our sights must always be placed on Allah and what Allah wants from us. Sometimes other things seem so important in our lives, such as getting the right job, making lots of money, having the latest fashion or toys, or even having our kids score well on their exams. In reality the other things are not really that important,

"They plan and God plans and God is the best of planners" Quran 8:30Hassan's reflection God has a plan, a beautiful plan for us and the whole world. Sometimes the world seems to be against us. There are pressures from work, from family, from everything around us, wanting us to do things we shouldn’t do or take time from things that are truly important. No matter what

"Certainly Allah exercises power in every matter (Allah is exalted in Power, Wise)" Quran2:20 Hassan's reflection Allah controls the major things as well as the smallest of things. We can only “go with the flow” so to speak. We must always strive to do our best in everything we do, but in the end we must have faith that Allah is not my co-pilot, Allah is the pilot. I am the

"Certainly Allah sees Allah’s worshippers.' Quran 3:15 Hassan Scott Odiermo's reflection Allah sees everything, knows everything, and understands everything. Allah knows who His true worshipers are. There is no need to fear that whatever small good deed we do it will be forgotten or not noticed. There is no need to publicize when we do something good. Allah knows. Allah watches over us,

Allah is the First, the Last, the Outer, the Inner, and knows all things Quran 57:3 Hassan Scott Odiermo's reflection: Allah is everywhere.

Remember me and I will remember you Quran 2:52Su's reflectionZikr is remembering. It is often mentioned in the Quran and is a basic Sufi practice. A sufi remembers God on every breath. Jalaludin Rumi equated forgetting with death and remembrance with life. Remembering Allah is remembering who we really are. Who are we? We are souls from another plane of existence sent to the material world to

"We did not create the Jinn and Human except for worship" Quran 51:56Su's reflection:Many think worship is when you are on the prayer mat , praying or when you do zikr , or when you perform the Haj or Umrah and fast and pay the zakat. No , Worship is your whole life. How can it be otherwise when we are created to worship. Which brings us to the essential question , What is worship? It is living

This quote below is from Eric Pepin's book the Navigator. Muslims who believe Non Muslims do not know the real truth have a huge problem dealing with information that is not from Muslim sources. It becomes a handicap and a blindspot as they reject information that do at times give an indication of what is a true description and accurate account of what really IS. The fact is, as Human beings all

Are you surrounded by wealth and possessions and still feeling something is not quite right or , that there is something you want but still do not have?Are you easily bored by your possessions and keep discarding them for new ones?Do you feel stressed out by the people and atmosphere around you?Do you need to find out who you really are?Have you ever wondered what your spiritual body is made of?

I was called upon to help a sick friend recently.I hope and pray he was helped by my presence and my suggestions. I also hope when it is my turn to ask for help, someone will come as I went and that someone would perceive what it was I needed at that point in time and give it to me .This was what I wrote for him, at his request. He was very sick and , his illness made it difficult for him to

If you were a soldier who had to follow orders , would you shoot at a school? Would you willingly kill children or would you rather disobey orders?I am not a soldier and I do not know what I would do but killing children for whatever reason is surely wrong! I would like to think that I would rather disobey orders than kill children . Then again, I would never live in a state that was built on

He used to come to the clinic when he was ill to get treatment from me.It was on one of these visits that I asked him what he would like to do after his SPM . I cannot remember his answer but I think he said he wanted to take a degree in science.

"Tis the nature of harm to scurry in trenches already dug, its rivulets deepening its draught and widening its bore in a scurrilous way; though inconsiderate and ostensibly inanimate, its effect denotes purpose, though that may through echo have belonged to another from long ago, an even forgotten owner."Thus wrote a friend in a post on his blog here. I wonder if he knows how aptly he has

I have dropped one dress size and probably can drop a few more when I am done.What has made it easier to shed my excess bagage was my daughter's detox meals she prepared for me and several of her clients for the fasting month. It is not easy to take because this first week it is a very low salt diet but she promises me it will get easier . I am however beginning to get used to it and there is an

I never cease to get amazed what one can learn , even when one feels that television is shallow and only good for watching when one wants to go into a brainless stupor as a distraction from the pain of living a routine life.The key ingredient in being able to learn something from just about anything is to be present to that which is before one.I am not going to write a sinospis , you can find a

I am copying a paragraph or two and you can read the rest HERE On Dhikr From Miftah al-Falah (The Key to Success) by Ibn 'Ata'llah al-Iskandari Dhikr is a fire which does not stay or spread – so if it enters a house saying, "Me and nothing other than me," which is one of the meanings of "la ilaha illa'llah' (There is no god but Allah), and there is firewood in the house, it burns it up

I am alive again. I think I was unconscious or very aneasthetised over the last few months or, maybe it was years! When I had the choking cough since January that last for months on end , I could not find a remedy , even though my health did not seem to be affected much , it was pretty embarassing to start coughing badly in front of my patients and what with stress incontinence , the condition

"Be mindful of how you approach time. Watching the clock is not the same as watching the sun rise." -- Sophia Bedford-Pierce "Chronos is clocks, deadlines, watches, calendars, agendas, planners, schedules, beepers. Chronos is time at her worst. Chronos keeps track. ...Chronos is the world's time. Kairos is transcendence, infinity, reverence, joy, passion, love, the Sacred. Kairos is intimacy

If there is one redeeming feature about my performance as a human being it is perhaps my ability to go on autopilot and plod on doing what 'duty' needs of me while putting aside my aches my pains be they physical emotional or mental.If there is another redeeming feature about me it is that I do not like to trouble people and like to bear my burdens alone.What then happens is a sense of isolation

Al Ghazali went on a very long leave of absence and then came back to do almost the same thing as he was doing before he left and the reason he left was because he felt he was not being real , but was living a lie and was not doing things out of the single intention of surrender.When he came back , he had learned how to surrender and was able to do the same thing minus the ego part that wanted

Why does love become a priority in many people's lives? Why do people keep seeking that one true love and why do they go from one love to another like I go through handbags because they could not find in that person what they were seeking.Have you felt it? That lovelorn feeling, that aching longing that nothing seems to assuage. an unquenchable thirst ? Sometimes for brief periods, that longing

So now I really know how erratic my method of working is, or rather how I really do not have a system in place.I think doctors are not the most methodical of people, given the irregularity of the free time on their hands, and with me gallivanting here there and everywhere almost all weekends does not help at all.But work is piling up, a book to write, procedures to read through a homeopathy case

We often say Lailahillalah. There is no ilah but Allah or , there is no object of worship/surrender except God.What this entails in submitting to all that is coming to us from Allah. What we then need to understand is that everything manifest in this world is from Allah. The good and the bad.Below , Dr Godlas quotes from an old sufi writing by Ruzbihan :The surrender that is inherent in
