A Brief Excerpt from Hydration of the Soul: A Commentary on The Drink of the People of Purity

The Shaykh says: 'Therefore, the one who travels by his [the Prophet’s] Supreme Ascension Point will have travelled the ascension points of every [master]; but the one who relinquishes it and clings instead to the secondary ascension points will find his journey arduous. And it is no secret that he will succumb to disruptions, extreme distance, vast wilderness, aimless wandering, and will be made to carry a burdensome load!'

COMMENTARY

According to Shaykh Muhammad al-Qandusi, the one who forsakes or diminishes the importance of the Supreme Ascension Point and focuses instead on the secondary ascension points as his means of drawing near to Allah and attaining the station of Ihsan will have a tough time of it. It is wayfaring (suluk), but he will “find his journey arduous” and difficult to endure in this age of dissolution and decline.

[…]

The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point while applying himself to the secondary ascension points will, as the Shaykh says, “succumb to disruptions, extreme distance, vast wilderness, aimless wandering, and will be made to carry a burdensome load.” Indeed, in this age of bewilderment and decay, where the Eschaton is not a distant future or a looming event over the horizon, but something in our midst, saturating everything around us, it has become abundantly clear that a Muslim in this age who forgoes the Original Path and clings instead to secondary methods developed in the past will suffer from everything of which the Shaykh speaks—sooner or later.

   The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point of invoking prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) will succumb to disruptions. His wayfaring will be marked with frequent starting and stopping. For every two steps he takes he will take three steps back, if not more. For every degree of spiritual progress he makes, he will face obstacles that block the path and halt his progress.

   The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point of invoking prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) will succumb to extreme distance. His wayfaring will bring him negative isolation spiritually and even socially. What is near will be made far; what is easy will be made difficult; and what is clear will be obscured.

   The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point of invoking prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) will succumb to vast wilderness. His wayfaring will leave him stranded in wild metaphorical forests teeming with dangers. Threats will lurk in the shadows, lying in wait to attack him. Deep in the uncharted wilderness he will find neither a path nor an experienced guide; instead, he will find pitfalls, brigands, and predators in the form of charlatans and false-shaykhs.

   The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point of invoking prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) will succumb to aimless wandering. He will wander from this method to that method, this formula of dhikr to that formula of dhikr, this gathering to that gathering. 

   The one who relinquishes the Supreme Ascension Point of invoking prayers upon the Prophet Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) will be made to carry a burdensome load. He will be burdened with taking powerful medicines that are inappropriate for his spiritual constitution and condition; he will be burdened with replicating in this latter age (Akhir al-Zaman) what suited people of a different age, and will be made to feel guilty for his inability to bear it. 

   The one who does not realize the time he is in and the collective age of the Umma and its weakened state will not understand the importance of returning to this Original Path. If one is to survive—and thrive—in the Eschaton, the dark age in which knowledge and authority have degenerated, he must return to the Original Path of gratitude.

   The Shaykh is not saying one should cast aside the foundations of spiritual wayfaring, nor is he saying that the secondary paths are cut off in an absolute sense. Although he describes them as “secondary ascension points,” it is still possible, he says, to take one of them as one’s spiritual path and means of purification and illumination. If someone choses to stick to one of the secondary ascension points, the Shaykh offers him some advice.

Kesempurnaan Cinta

 Apabila cinta kepada Allah sudah sempurna, maka tidak ada sesuatu kesenangan yg dapat melebihi kesenangan dalam melakukan ibadah -  Al Ghazali

Bicara dan Amal Yang Beriman dan Munafik

 Seorang yang beriman itu sedikit bicaranya dan banyak beramalnya, sedangkan orang yang munafiq itu banyak bicaranya dan sedikit beramalnya.

Mari Berselawat

 Mari Berselawat 📿! 

(الباب الرابع في فضيلة الصلاة على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم)

BAB 4 : Keutamaan berselawat untuk Nabi Muhammad SAW.

قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مَن صلّى عليّ واحدة صلّى الله عليه عشرا.

1.Nabi SAW bersabda:

Barang siapa mengucapkan selawat untukku sekali

Maka Allah memberi selawat (kasih sayang dan mengagungkan / memuliakan) untuknya sepuluh kali.

(H.R. Muslim, Abu Daud, Nasai, dan Ibnu Hibban dari Abi Hurairah )

وقال النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَن صلى عليّ الف مرّة لم يمت حتى يبشّر له بالجنّة.

2. Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda: "Barang siapa berselawat kepadaku

1000 kali maka tak akan meninggal dunia sehingga diberikan kabar gembira masuk syurga

‏وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من صلى عليّ صلاة واحدة صلى الله عليه بها عشرا ومَن صلى عليّ عشرا صلى الله عليه بها مائة ومَن صلى عليّ مائة صلى الله عليه بها الفا ومَن صلى عليّ الفا لم تمسّه النار.

3. Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : Barang siapa berselawat untukku

satu kali, Maka kerananya Allah memberi selawat kepadanya sepuluh kali. Barang siapa berselawat untukku sepuluh kali, maka Allah memberi selawat kepadanya seratus kali. Barang siapa berselawat untukku seratus kali, maka kerananya Allah memberi selawat kepadanya seribu kali

Barang siapa yang berselawat untukku seribu kali maka dia tak akan disentuh api neraka

وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم مَن نسي الصلاة عليّ فقد أخطأ طريق الجنّة.

4.Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : Barang siapa lupa berselawat untukku, maka dia benar-benar telah menyimpang dari jalan syurga

وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم إنّ اولى الناس بي يوم القيامة أكثرهم عليّ صلاة.

5.      Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : "Sesungguhnya orang yang lebih utama bersamaku di hari kiamat adalah orang yang paling banyak berselawat untukku". (HR. Bukhari dan Ibnu Hibban dari Ibnu Masud ra.)

‏وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم صلاتكم عليّ محاقة. 

6.Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : "Selawat kalian untukku adalah penghancur (dosa-dosa)

وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم مَن صلى عليّ في كلّ جمعة اربعين مرّة محا الله ذنوبه كلّها.

‏7. Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda

 : "Barang siapa berselawat untukku di setiap hari Jumaat sebanyak 40 kali maka Allah menghapus semua dosa-dosanya".

وقال صلى الله عليه وسلّم مامِن دعاء إلّا بينه وبين السماء حجاب حتى يصلّي عليّ فإذا صلّى عليّ انخرق ذلك الحجاب ورفع الدعاء.

8. Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : Tiadalah sebuah doa terkecuali diantara doa tersebut dan langit ada penghalang hingga dibacakan selawat untukku. Ketika dibacakan selawat untukku maka terbukalah hijab tersebut dan diangkatlah do'a.

‏وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم مَن صلّى عليّ في يوم مائة مرّة قضى الله له مائة حاجة سبعين منها لآخرته وثلاثين منها لدنياه.

9. Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : "Barang siapa berselawat untukku seratus kali dalam sehari maka Allah menunaikan seratus hajatnya.

‏Tujuh puluh untuk hajat akhiratnya dan tiga puluh untuk hajat dunianya." (HR: Ibnu Najar dari Jabir ra.).

وقال صلى الله عليه وسلّم مَن صلى عليّ صلاة واحدة صلّى الله عليه وملائكتُه عشرين مرّة ولم يمت حتى يبشَّر بالجنّة.

10.Nabi Muhammad SAW bersabda : Barang siapa berselawat untkku sekali, maka Allah   memberi selawat untuknya dan para malaikat juga mendoakan dia dua puluh kali dan dia tidak akan mati hingga diberi kabar gembira masuk syurga.

Nota: Between Hawa and Shahwah

 Between Hawa and Shahwah

What’s the difference between hawa al-nafs and shahwat al-nafs? The desires of whims vs lusts?

We have physical impulses like lust, over eating and greed. They are desires that have root in our biology, and they are excesses of things we actually need for survival.

Now “hawa” or whimsical impulses are desires that have no root in our biology. As a result, these desires are always random. They change from decade to decade or year to year. In fashion or in academia, there’s always something new and in vogue.

In contrast, the passions or “shahwat al-nafs,” never change even from the time of the first humans; it’s always food, lust, fame, wealth & power.
