- As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,
Deep Peace to everyone.
I don't like the concept of spring forward, of losing an hour. I do, however, believe in springing forward like in the du'a "Oh Allah make the Qur'an the spring of my heart." The Mawlidiyya Spring season has been rich and like those Folk who say "Kullu waqtina Laylat al Qadir" / "All our time is the Night of Power" all our time is in celebration of the Best of Creation, too. Ya Rabb. I wish I had the best of words to celebrate the Prophet of Mercy a la the Hamziyya, the Burda, the Mawlid of Diba'e, of the Shimmering Light. Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi, may Allah preserve him, encourages the English speaking world to create similar gems. May Allah give us this success. May Allah widen the circles of Remembrance with litanies of illumination, songs of praise and poems of transformative power. Make du'a for me and my family so that we live the Book and the Way and reach the heavenly heights. Oh Allah bless our master Muhammad, his family, his companions and all who follow with spiritual excellence until the end of time. I'm broken. I'm so very needy. Help us to spring to life, to reality!
- Divine Remembrance
قال الشيخ ابو مدين رحمه الله ـ الذكر ما غيّبك عنك بوجوده و أخذك منك بشهوده
The Shaykh Abu Madyan, may Allah show mercy to him, said,
"Remembrance is that which makes you absent of your self by God's existence and takes you from yourself by the witnessing of Him."
الذكر شهود الحقيقة وخمود الخليقة
"Remembrance is witnessing The Real and the extinction of creation."
اللهم صلى على سيدنا و مولانا محمّد و آله و صحبه
- The Perpetual Seven of Creation /
Many of the scholars have stated:
Seven from creation will remain:
The Tablet and the Pen, then the Fire’s Hurt
The Throne and the Footstool and All Souls
and Paradise, in its shade, we will find comfort

 | Tanamlah benih pencarianmu
dibumi keterasingan wujudi
manakah sahabat dan kenalan
kesibukan diarus duniawi
jika zikirmu bercahaya
suburkan dengan kembara |

صلاة كنز الحقائق: اللهم صل وسلم بأنواع كمالاتك في جميع تجلياتك على سيدنا و مولانا محمد أول الأنوار الفائضة من بحور عظمة الذات. المتحقق في عالمي البطون و الظهور بمعاني الأسماء و الصفات. فهو أول حامد و متعبد بأنواع العبادات و القربات. و الممد في عالمي الأرواح و الأشباح لجميع الموجودات. وعلى آله وأ صحابه صلاة تكشف لنا النقاب عن وجهه الكريم في المرائي و اليقظات. و تعرفنا بك و به في جميع المراتب و الحضرات
