* FARMAN MUBARAK *
Recite Salwat
┄─┅✿اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد✿┅─┄
In your lives, there is DIN and DUNIYA, there is Faith and World.The nature of Islam has the Faith and Life. Faith and World are intimately connected. And you do not forsake one for the other. And it is important therefore that you be regular in the practice of your faith. And being regular in the practice of your Faith, is NOT ONLY ATTENDANCE IN Jamatkhana. IT IS ALSO THINKING OF YOUR FAITH OUTSIDE THE TIMES OF PRAYER, living within the ethics of your Faith, of DIGNITY, of HONESTY, of STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS. And seeking support from your Faith when life challenges you, because life challenges everybody at some stage or the other, and when life challenges you, your best resource, the best solution is to TIE to your FAITH and seek support from your Faith.
Take your Tasbih, and call Ya Allah, Ya Muhammad, Ya Ali, The Names of the Imams.
BUT KEEP YOUR FAITH PRESENT IN YOUR HEART ALL THE TIME, in the way you live, because you CANNOT ENTER INTO FAITH AND EXIT FROM FAITH, in the Faith of Islam.
THAT is NOT TOLERATED; FAITH IS PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE. This is why I say to My Jamat, be regular in attendance in Jamatkhana, BUT ALSO KEEP YOUR FAITH WITH YOU, AND KEEP THE ETHICS OF YOUR FAITH IN YOUR LIFE.
