Born in the womb of Mount Hira, not in deserts or among the skies the religion of spirit called Islam. It came from the depth of darkness, first as a lamp giving spiritual warmth to the moths that were wandering in darkness then as a radiant light, more powerful than million suns put together. From a man who knew not how to read. What kind of a man was he? A soul created, moulded in the will of Allah, containing the patience of oceans and gentleness and tranquility of the universe. His life was made to obey Allah, praise Allah and to be molded according to Allah’s will. I can put my trust in Allah, proudly say that the essence of Islam is not learning, debating on religion, hypothesis or theories to be proved right or wrong but it is Husn-e-Ikhlaq or humanity as we know it now. To the non believer I would say Islam is not rigid, its forgiving, greater than ocean, cannot be taught with books. A true muslim is the one who follow it by his/her heart. The search for Islam should begin within. Allah turns the heart of those who do not want to listen to stone. He is merciful and forgives again and again. As rumi says in one of his poems: “Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn’t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.” To find Islam do not go to Arab, do not go to mosque. I have seen people not living there with all the religion but with one philosophy of life and that is there religion to them, and Allah forgives them, and be merciful to them even if they are Kufr. Some say I will not lie and they do not lie, because they could not find it in their heart to lie. Some say I forgive those who sin against me, and will not hurt any other living soul until I am alive. It is Islam for that person. Where are we searching it. We are all the searchers of that balm, that shadow, that salvation that gives to our souls in this sun of the world. I have sound mine in the name of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin and his life and teachings. I could not say I will follow each and every one of them but I will try and follow some in this life. The man or the prophet we all respect did not conquer the world with just words but deeds, love and husn-e-sirat. To enlighten the world we need to enlighten ourselves rather than becoming famous scholars and debating about Islam. How can someone claim to understand the religion by book when they do not understand the essence of it. To understand the essence of Islam, reflection is the first step. Seeing within comes first every thing else follows automatically. The day when I could not stand before myself is the day I have failed my religion and Allah. But he still forgives and this forgiveness is our hope. Religious philosophy is the philosophy of hope, and Islam is full of it. Religion from the lovers of Islam or the prophet, a man chosen by Allah Almighty to show the way only they can show the way others are appreciators and followers. Divisions to me are thought patterns, my religion ends with the spiritual Islam and my conscious and it begins there only. Yes, it is Islam, yes the life of the prophet (S.A.W) is the Quran and Islam for the righteous. Great men, prophets have shown miracles. The miracle of Mohammed (S.A.W) is the holy Quran. The miracle of Moinuddin (R.A.) is his Ikhlaq and kindness. Practice leads to perfection. Practicing just one humanity a day is Islam or more as Allah extends your heart and grow it until you reach the stage of being a momin is true follower ship of Islam. To be a muslim is not be ambitious but to be humble. To be a muslim is not to be disheartened but to be hopeful. Even if one is a human they live by code of conduct, living with something, denying something to our selves, living with religion is the right way to live. Is this Islam? If I am wrong correct me.
