‘And Allah’s remembrance is the greatest.’
(Quran, 29: 45),

BUTTTTTT THE GOLDEN QUESTION

TO GET CLOSE
HOW DO I FEEL ALLAHS PRESENCE
HOW CAN MY SALAT BE EFFECTIVE
LET US *UNDERSTAND* SALAT
“ The mother
of the idols is
the idol of
Your self ”
STEP 1 : REMOVE “ I ” FROM PRAYERS
GOLDEN RULE
The one who travels on the foot of
servitude, and burns his forehead with
the brand of the humility of serfdom, will
reach the Glory of (His) Lordship.
and What is lost of servitude because of
egoism and egotism, can be recovered
under the shadow of the Lordship's
patronage,

ATTENTION IS THE KEY
The strength of everybody's suluk
(journey) is in proportion to the strength of
this attention,
or rather the perfection or the imperfection
of humanity is connected to the perfection
or imperfection of this matter.
Self-conceit and Egotism
The veil of self-conceit and egotism is thicker and
darker than all other veils.
To tear open this veil is more difficult than tearing
all other veils, and tearing it is a preparatory step
to tearing other veils.
In fact, tearing off this veil is the master key
for the invisible, the visible and the great door
of the ascent to the perfect spirituality.

2: KHUSHU – SUBMISIVENESS
“Successful, indeed, are the believers
who are submissive in their salats,"
Surah al-Mu'minun: 1-2.
