Kasih

Untuk renungan bersama:

Love all and hate none.
Mere talk of peace will avail you naught.
Mere talk of God and relegion will not take you far.
Bring out all of the latent powers of your being
and reveal the full magnificence
of your immortal self.
Be surcharged with peace and joy,
And scatter them wherever you are
and wherever you go.
Be a blazing fire of truth,
Be a beauteous blossom of love
And be a soothing balm of peace. With your spiritual light,
dispel the darkness of ignorance;
dissolve the clouds of discord and war
and spread goodwill, peace, and harmony among the people.
Never seek any help, charity, or favors
from anybody except God.
Never go to the courts of kings,
but never refuse to bless and help the needy and the poor,
the widow, and the orphan, if they come to your door.
This is your mission to serve the people ...
Carry it out dutifully and courageously,
so that I, as your Pir-o-Murshid,
may not be ashamed of any shortcomings on your part
before the Almighty God and our holy predecessors
in the Sufi Order (silsilah)
on the Day of Judgement.


(Khutbah terakhir Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti (r.a.))


Salam Ramadhan untuk semua teman bloggers. Saya mohon ampun dan maaf di atas segala salah silap dalam ucapan, juga dalam tingkah selama ini. Semoga ibadah puasa kita tahun ini lebih diberkati oleh-Nya. Amin.

Pagi tadi saya menerima e-mel pertama daripada Claire (entri: Kembara Musim Luruh), dia bertemu pula seorang peniaga dari Mesir yang memberitahunya tentang Ramadhan, dan katanya dia cuba berpuasa yang mungkin boleh menurunkan berat badannya sedikit :). Tudung yang saya hadiahkan belum lagi dipakainya, hanya ditunjuk kepada keluarganya yang bertanya 'kamu akan memakainya?'. Dia hanya senyum katanya.

Salam.
