Personal Blog with Elements of EFT and Sufism.
This is a personal blog with elements of EFT and Sufism.If I want to get loads of visitors to it I suppose I better call it Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll ..
First of all I must say .. that, despite any appearance to the contrary, I am sure that the only thing that matters in this world (or the next obviously!) ... is Allah. I am also sure that,in reality, there is nothing but Allah.
I am the worst one when it comes to Islam but,maybe,for the sake of Muhammad,and for the sake of all the Prophets, especially Jesus and Moses and Abraham and Nuh and Adam,for the sake of all the saints and especially,Sheikh Nazim and Sheikh Abdullah and Shah Naqshband and Jafar Siddique and Salman al Farsi and Hassan al Basri and Abu Bakr,radiallahu anhu ...and Omar,Uthman and Ali. radiallahu anhum..... He will forgive me .
I thank Him sincerely from the bottom of my heart,for giving me this life and this body to be in and the chance to get to know Him ..while still in this life ..though it is a chance which I daily and hourly throw away astaghfiru'llah ..
Where can I run to?There is no refuge from Him but with Him subhana wa taAllah. He is here all the time with me,closer to me than my jugular vein .. but I am not with Him astaghfiru'llah.If not for Him I could not stay in existence..and nor could anything else..He is my Creator and Sustainer ..He is Al Samad the Eternal Support of All.
This existence is perfect in every way .. only we do not always see it or understand it.We cannot understand all the reasons why,it is our job to accept,to submit and to believe.Why else would He say to Muhammad saws in the Koran,"Look and look again,do you see any crack or fissure in it? Your sight will come back to you amazed."(I must find that quote and get it right ...)
Ay(!) ..bird song .. my hand and its movements .. my breathing, my heart beat,the thousands of perfectly orchestrated functions of the human body which are still being discovered .. "We will show them Our signs on the horizons and in themselves." says Allah in His Generous,Glorious Koran. .. Aren't their own bodies enough for them to believe and understand!?
Anyway..enough of "them" ..it's me and my faith that matters first .. I know He is the First Cause ..so what can I say but alhamduli'llah and shukruli'llah ..because this morning I have this faith and this surety ..(it feels like safar has lifted ..I don't know exactly when the new moon starts .. funny how Bilquis,who is often so intuitive,asked me if it ended this morning when I told her yesterday it was the last day today) ... but ..on a secondary cause level ..can the EFT not have something to do with this?
I mean (let's see if I can express this without getting too lost) He in His Knowledge and Wisdom has given me this 'hard time' to smash down my pride in thinking that I am or could be anything beside Him,which would be shirk,or association .. but also .. the fine tuning which has come through the Sheikh,(as insaan kamil and thereforeworthy and able to be a channel for these things for me and for countless others) has introduced,just when I am able to use it in a good way (insha'llah!) .. i.e. not just for my own aggrandizement .. something to give me back some healthy belief in myself..some healthy love of myself ..Of course this is belief in and love of,the real self ..which,as we all know ..is really Allah anyway, according to the hadith of the Prophet saws "He who knows himself knows his Lord." ... Which is where I would say that EFT fits so neatly with Islam and sufism.
