I am a soul returning close to the single authentic source threading the path of mysticism in the occurrence of a combined peace, joy, compassion or love. My agony between competing forces of light and dark, and positive marked division between the material kingdom, the administration of evil forces, and the higher spiritual kingdom from which it is divided. My words may seem to confuse and unclear, at the same time over-simplified and full of subtle meanings hidden from the naive.

My words are very easy to know, and easy to practice; but there is none in the world who can recognize and capable of practice them.
A dimensional fluctuation amid one construction of reality to another. I am crossed a path by sin, shame, remorse.
Repentance, awareness of lower-self attachments and dervishes giving up the thoughts and behaviors is now the necessity for reinstating unity and grace.
Mortification and dejection, defamation and allegation, abundant lives breathed, none could grasp me and in this way my voyage demands further obligation.
My ancestry and individuality is of free spirit. I question if this is a joy. The joy is of mankind shuns and Almighty embraces. That is the joy in the departure from the material release. (2009)


"Religious truth is the inner meaning of the law revealed in the heart of the Sufi by the Divine Light."

In terms of the Ultimate Reality or Truth, I have now come to reject the very basis of "manifestation" and in doing so all systems of thought and knowledge in reference to it is invalid

According to my experience there is nothing to understand about enlightenment as enlightenment is the way of enlightenment itself.

The subject of enlightenment – or anything else – did not interest me all my life ………….. My life-story can be separated into the three catastrophe parts. The first part of my life with Human experience. The second part of my life experienced a Bodily experience with a discontinuity from my human life with the ongoing bodily experience – though not absence – of thought. But I lost all connectivity with the acquired knowledge and memories, and I was made to re-learn everything, as if the slate had been wiped clean.

Big Bang Theory – Divine Feminine the Revelation
The untold mystery of the universe, the origin and development of life must be resolved.

We are approaching the end of a World Age. In both cases . However, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message here concerns our making a choice, of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with disastrous changes or gradual peace and tranquility.
The Solution for Global Warming and Conflict Resolution Worldwide: The Divine Feminine reveals the transgression, morality, and verdict. The earth is saying something with record to heat, drought, storms and fire. She shows the Reality of the Hidden Mystery and what global warming looks like. It's time to listen – and take action.

It’s time to listen in peace, her voice, in tranquility her pain. She speaks of exploitation, disparage, Rape, Injustice, inequity, abandoned, tormented. Who is she?
We may call her the soul of Earth or the Mother of all Healing. It took me time to identify the expressions of the Divine Feminine. It took me a great deal of surrenders to know the concept, and I struggled within me with the control and the revolution not insightful of the grounds.

The concept of peace, the concept of Global warming is possible if only we realize our potential input in the process to help the Divine Mother Creator to successfully ally her energy into a system where honorable values, principled ideals, the foundation of unification must be valued with honesty and integrity. In a loving relationship, there is no such thing as power, or control. The feminine energy is never truly free unless and until the masculine energy shows up for real and is ready and willing to protect and serve.

The Conflict and intolerance will be resolved with the Divine Feminine as an intermediate force between God (Allah) and humanity. This intervening force is characterized by God’s mercy, pardon, appeal and Humility- the Embodiment of God’s love for creation. The role of the Divine Feminine has been described and explored as the Emerging Ruh in Sufi Psychology, Dantian the Sephiroth of kabbalah and the chakras of Indian Tantra and the Shakthi of the Kundalini yoga...She is the masked bride as referred by the medieval writers and poets.

The Need of the Hour: In the spiritual path, the primordial energy force calls for a strict moral and ethical code to be followed. The fanaticism that we see in modern times is a new development in the male emergence of dominance and power. The universal law of nature in the form of superior divine energy is a combination of the male and the feminine energy. However, she is not competent to fit herself with the modern advanced technology and scientific world.
She is of values and culture. This is the Eternal truth, and the reality which most cultures are well aware.
Peace, Global Warming cannot be achieved by dialogue. We must get ready to create the much-needed synchronization and the resolution to the calamity.

The Reality: 
Billions of Years ago, the earth was minute, and it was in the eastern part of the globe where the primary being ever come into endurance. There was no religion but a culture of love. This was the Abode as per the Mystical disclosure open to the fundamentals. The loss of the kingdom to the Dark Forces leads to the separation of the Masculine and the Divine Feminine . Billions of years of effort with abundant defeat she once more emerges with the mightiness of a tornado, the intensity of an injured shield, the trident of legitimacy and the sharp edge of the tresses.
The theory is of duality considerably before the earth planet came into existence or slightly known to us. The celestial abode possessed the Masculine and the Feminine force. The Dark force is the Energy which invaded the Divine Realm. The thought that exists at the core of Black Hole is the infected Kundalini Mother. The base chakra reveals the story of existence and the History of the Universe.
Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinite small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something . It existed as the heaven or the abode of the Heavenly. It was expanded and inflated by the Dark forces, plundering and disarming the kingdom, the possessions of the marvelous Kingdom. This led to the separation of the Divine Feminine from its Male complement. The phase of the new beginning of life took place and the Earth was expanded further, and new initiations took place to reinstate the Evil plans as the Divine designs . This led to the beginning of the Illusory World.
As promised, by the Evil, we are veiled and absent from the Divine truth. What most do not understand is, When Evil was certain that he was doomed, the resolved to mislead whomever he could from the children of Almighty, so that they would be with him in Hell. He declared he would mislead. I shall adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all.
The charming clustered planet has such confidence in ensnaring his victims openly from all sides and making us then succumb to the temptations. The world appears pretty and attempting works on ways to lure man, limit his perspective to the gains, pleasures and enjoyment of this world alone, and make him forget the path that is been chalked out for all human beings.
The Dark Force’s ultimate goal is to make people go astray and eventually to turn them into polytheists at a minimum. The way the negative force pursues that goal varies in accordance with the interests and Inclination of his victim.
For example, houses of piety to attack the pious; scholarly disciplines to attack scholars; false reasoning and logic for those who take pride in being knowledgeable, and ignorance to attack the ignorant.
The negative force, as well as the other evil spirits, are fallen Jinn, who have the power to appear to people as generous. What appears to some to be a "Divine Light" is, in reality, the" Shining Darkness" of Evil. Despite the attractiveness, and apparent concern shown by these "Spirit Guides," these spirits will ultimately lead to unworldly cruelty and other forms of transcendent annihilation here on Earth, and possibly serious consequences in the life to come with occult and other forbidden Practices.

The Earth Infected and Vampires have possessed: Relationships of too many negative associations have overshadowed the positive association. Most men and women are possessed by psychic vampires who make the men use their masculine energy in a very bad way (rape, sexual / mental / emotional abuse, child abuse, sexual encounters)
The maximum number of male energy are infected by the psychic vampires gains his dominance through the energy of the female. It’s like the positive and negative charges. This translates to the feminine and masculine energy. The modern world of technology, science, immoral extravagance is the root cause of the destruction. Some women are more masculine at their core, but most are not. Men have feminine energy as well. Most males are masculine at their core. The Psychic vampire could be your spouse, your boss, your boyfriend, a customer, or best friend. There is no way to tell a psychic vampire by simply looking at them unless you have clairvoyant abilities and can see the aura of a psychic vampire.
In this rare case you would see trendils, an abnormality in the aura which is used to perforate the victim's aura and drain them of energy. Also a possible that you could also be a psychic vampire and may want takes action to heal you on the energetic level including protecting yourself from psychic attacks. People do not know that they are having physical relation with psychic vampires. They have no knowledge of how their energy system works or know how to work with their own vital energy. Also the reason for the infection on mankind is due to misled spiritual practice of Kundalini knowledge to gain wealth, immortality, greater psychic ability etc.
These people are misguided by the negative side of spirituality and should be avoided. Chances are that if you have a psychic vampire in your life that person is completely unaware of it and are unaware that their actions are harming others around them. The best method of escaping any negative influence is to raise your own vibratory frequencies. This will place your energy bodies on a higher frequency astral plane which is inaccessible to negative energy. The centuries of practices such as witchcraft, voodoo, black magic, necromancy, and psychic vampirism has infected the Earth and all its beings. Lots of people are infected by Sexual Vampires which obtain its victim's vital energies through sexual intercourse. It is hard for women to be truly feminine in today’s society, since there are lots of offensively egocentric people infected by the psychic vampires and once they see vulnerability – they will step all over it with stable pattern of abuse and repression. The Male Dominance of prejudice and torment sequence include criticize, disrepute, Sexual cruelty, vocal exploitation, bodily violence. In fact, at times there is no denying that Women are the worst to other Women.

This calls for Healing and forgiveness to be seeked of the Divine Feminine. The Healing of each one will take place on a universal level. The pessimistic emotion of detestation, envy, illegitimate sex is the illusory. If you can tap into the power you will see the Reality that is taking place behind the Veil. The constant nourish on the Feminine energy has left the Divine Feminine battered, crushed elapsed, alienated, injured, damage, disregarded and raped frequently in the vision of the darkness of the ego.
The best way to escape is the ongoing emergency. The answer lies within the core of our being. Take refuge to heal and cleanse yourself and enter the new age world without the Vampires accompanying you as your spouse or lover or a friend.

How can we contribute to the Global Warming and what can be done
Action and Solution : (The action is each ones free will choice) The method given here is for all irrespective of Religion or possessed by jinn’s or evil spirits or if you feel normal.
1. The foremost and the primary of all are to disengage from scriptures, religious ceremony, and recitation of any scriptures. Take all the religious pictures, manuscripts, books or any other material like taweez, threads, oil, powders or any material which represents faith, belief or religion. Wrap it all in a black cloth. Ideally it is recommended to leave it in flowing water. However if one is finding it difficult than just keep it somewhere in a room where this will not be opened until the end of the year.
2. Stop visiting any of the spiritual healers or stop all guidelines given to you and implement the natural way to banish the jinn’s, spirits, vampires forever. Even for some who are possessed by such spirits for 4 or longer period can implement.
3. In some case if the deities are too huge than you may cover it with white or black cloth for the next 30 days. And do not pray on it or light lamps.
4. Immediate take refuge within the values of moral, ethical system. Cut off all relations, who lack respect, acceptance, conviction, unification, love. Detach any feelings of sadness or attachment; make forgiveness to the others who hurt you. Do not make a choice to be a victim as it’s a deceptive world.
5. All mirrors must be covered or veiled in the day and specially the nights.
6. Do not visit any holy places. Stop all evil or sacred practices
7. Rock Salt in your surrounding is another immediate protection. Bowls of rock salt placed in each rooms of your home including the toilets. This will stop the entry of all evil spirits, jinn’s, and vampires.
8. Take water with 1 bowl of rock salt in it and mop your homes immediately. The second mop on the 25th December 2012.
9. Burn only sandal wood incense in the evenings.
10. Keep yourself hygiene. Make sure you wash yourself whenever you use the toilet. Clean any urinary splashes immediately. Make sure you wash your hands and feet before you come out of the toilet to cut any kind of energy.
11. For couples who are married make sure that you have a head bath immediately after you have a physical relation with your spouse. For the rest kindly do not engage in any sexual activity and maintain the code of morality.
12. The smell of Food like egg, meat , fish is another way of entertaining the spirits. To be safe do not make non vegetarian food at home or eat outside until the end of the month.
13. Refrain from all alcoholic drinks too.
14. Let go of the past hurts, the pains, the men who may have hurt you or taken advantage of you , let go of your need to be ‘in control’, let go of the need to be ‘strong’ and vicious. As we heal the planet heals and so does the evolution is much more with peace, pardon and with silence. Our failure in our planetary duties indulge ourselves in the world of covetousness is the root cause of all calamities and destruction.
During this period at any given point do not pray, chant, dikr, mantras, sura, verses or the similar.

Immediate Implementation: If you choose to help the mission of Global Warming and resolve the Conflict than one must Contribute to the cause not by way of cash or cheque or open dialogue or preach to a certain extent take the First initiative towards the purification process, breaking down the old cycle of the base and start reconstruction. This calls for reinstating the ethical set of laws of behavior to all those who are physically abused, tormented by way of relationships. Know your feminine potential, the authority of your energy, which is within you. Do not give yourself in any way towards exploitation. Take to silence and withdrawal. Do not be angry with your abuser as it’s not their fault. Forgive them and begin your protection.

For the Men: A strict value oriented system. This is by thoughts, by action, Physical, verbal or emotional. Gather your Masculine Energy and Take Refuge within the Ethical and Moral Code of Conduct which is of extreme significance. The idea behind the use of rumination, Art, Culture, Music is to keep the mind fresh of all deviating thoughts. It is very difficult to follow the system in a universe where one sees the sparkle, technology and the sway of glamour.

The Revelation of the Feminine Force: A divine conflict stated with the forces of shadows.

The Need of the Hour: The chains must be broken, and the reinstate of the Divine goddess must take place. This will allow the goddess to balance her energies with the Planet Earth. Let’s welcome her arrival for she is all magnanimous and generous. We must begin grounding to bring home the Mother, the harmony, Love, kind and thoughtful.

How does our contribution work: Break the power of the Egoistic kingdom of Atrocities and Dominance.
This is towards Amendment and Regret. If each one of us contributes our energy the influence of the dart of the Dark Forces will split. As we begin to lock up the door of our mind to his Desires his armed forces deteriorate. The undisclosed mace will break the Foundation of the forceful Dark realm. Let’s sever the Chains and barrier where we have been the slaves of his steady craving.

Good versus Evil:
Let’s be a part of a Mission and be an element of Light as we transit into the new period by regaining the lost glory of control, belief, Love, therapeutic, moral and Ethical values.
The longest epic Mahabharata at the very core transcends culture and religion with a simple theme that all of mankind can relate too. It is a story of good versus evil, of families in turmoil, of jealousy and betrayal and at the heart of it all, a fight for the truth.
As Lord Krishna say ‘Whenever virtue declines and unrighteousness rises, I manifest myself as an embodied being. To protect the Saints and Sages, to destroy the evil-doers and to establish Dharma (righteousness), I am born from age to age. -Bhagavad Gita 4.7 and 4.8
The Primacy of the Feminine beyond all is the infinite eternal mystery of God’s uncreated Essence, the ultimate spiritual Reality, calling to the souls who love God to come home and find perfect peace. That is why Ibn al-‘Arabi says Allah can be referred to as both huwa (He) and hiya (She).

Volunteer: There are many women and men out there who have been healed of such Psychic Vampires by me in the past few months. They are aware of the ways and how this can be guided. However, due to principled bond, we cannot reveal the names. At the same time, any one of them desires to the mission, and the cause can connect to the Global Community and guide them with what is been imparted to you. Perhaps this can help in a chain of healing each other. If anyone connects to kindly remember to simply follow them without many questions. They can speak of their experience to you if they feel appropriate.
If anyone who have been helped before can write a testimony here to help the rest take a bold step forward. Perhaps your experience and the statement will give confidence to the others.
Also the ones who have been helped before too must implement the above with immediate effect to help us realize our source and the truth of all our existence.

The Result: A optimistic new millennium where marvelous shift in the structure, mind, conflict, resolution, exploitation, love, matrimony, value, impartiality association will take place. Forward the piece of writing to all your contacts and links all over the globe.
And help them transit into the shift with peace and harmony towards a new beginning. A life of harmony, peace, tranquility promise and union.

A Sufi Ode to the Divine Mother
On the face of the earth there is no one more beautiful than you
Wherever I go I wear your image in my heart
Whenever I fall in a despondent mood I remember your image
And my spirit rises a thousand fold
Your advent is the blossom time of the Universe
O Mother you have showered your choicest blessings upon me
Also remember me on the Day of Judgment
I don’t know if I will go to heaven or hell
But wherever I go, please always abide in me.

The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. The big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment.
According to the standard theory, our universe sprang into existence as "singularity" around 13.7 billion years ago. What is a "singularity" and where does it come from? Well, to be honest, we don't know for sure. Singularities are zones which defy our current understanding of physics. They are thought to exist at the core of "black holes." Black holes are areas of intense gravitational pressure. The pressure is thought to be so intense that finite matter is actually squished into infinite density (a mathematical concept which truly boggles the mind). These zones of infinite density are called "singularities." Our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitesimally small, infinitely hot, infinitely dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? We don't know. Why did it appear? We don't know.
After its initial appearance, it apparently inflated (the "Big Bang"), expanded and cooled, going from very, very small and very, very hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it: incredible creatures living on a unique planet, circling a beautiful star clustered together with several hundred billion other stars in a galaxy soaring through the cosmos, all of which is inside of an expanding universe that began as an infinitesimal singularity which appeared out of nowhere for reasons unknown. This is the Big Bang theory.

Big Bang Theory - Common Misconceptions
There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Experts however say that there was no explosion; there was (and continues to be) an expansion. Rather than imagining a balloon popping and releasing its contents, imagine a balloon expanding: an infinitesimally small balloon expanding to the size of our current universe.
Another misconception is that we tend to image the singularity as a little fireball appearing somewhere in space. According to the many experts however, space didn't exist prior to the Big Bang. Back in the late '60s and early '70s, when men first walked upon the moon, "three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis, and Roger Penrose turned their attention to the Theory of Relativity and its implications regarding our notions of time. In 1968 and 1970, they published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space.1, 2 According to their calculations, time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy."3The singularity didn't appear in space; rather, space began inside of the singularity. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, not space, time, matter, or energy - nothing. So where and in what did the singularity appear if not in space? We don't know. We don't know where it came from, why it's here, or even where it is. All we really know is that we are inside of it and at one time it didn't exist and neither did we.

Big Bang Theory - Evidence for the Theory
What are the major evidences which support the Big Bang theory?
First of all, we are reasonably certain that the universe had a beginning.
Second, galaxies appear to be moving away from us at speeds proportional to their distance. This is called "Hubble's Law," named after Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) who discovered this phenomenon in 1929. This observation supports the expansion of the universe and suggests that the universe was once compacted.
Third, if the universe was initially very, very hot as the Big Bang suggests, we should be able to find some remnant of this heat. In 1965, Radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson discovered a 2.725 degree Kelvin (-454.765 degree Fahrenheit, -270.425 degree Celsius) Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB) which pervades the observable universe. This is thought to be the remnant which scientists were looking for. Penzias and Wilson shared in the 1978 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discovery.
Finally, the abundance of the "light elements" Hydrogen and Helium found in the observable universe are thought to support the Big Bang model of origins.

The Return of the Feminine and the World Soul
Publication Date: November 1, 2009
Over the past two decades Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee has given different teachings on the feminine and the anima mundi, the World Soul. They are compiled in his book for the first time.
Book Description: The feminine holds the mystery of creation. This simple and primordial truth is often overlooked, but at this time of global crisis, which also carries the seeds of a global transformation, we need to reawaken to the spiritual power and potential of the feminine. Feminine qualities belong to both men and women, and they draw us into the depths within us, into the mysteries of the soul whose wisdom is called Sophia. Without the feminine nothing new can be born, nothing new can come into existence—we will remain caught in the materialistic images of life that are polluting our planet and desecrating our souls. We need to return to the core of our being, to where the sacred comes into existence. And the mystical feminine holds the key to this work of redemption and transformation.

Are they the Peace Makers??

Cry
There is a huge insurgence of delivering peace globally. A shift with
respect to a new millennium. Spiritual Leaders, Guides, organizations
are propagating the message of Peace. World Peace Day is observed in
nearly all countries. Each one is striving to be a part of huge
missions in diverse countries. Is everyone honestly going to propagate
the message of peace? Is the assembly going to help to progress
towards world peace? Are the spiritual Leaders and so-called
intellectuals flawless in what they advocate? If they were
accomplished why have they not looked around at their distinctive
locality where there is so much of disturbance, poverty, rape, abuse,
violence. If one is interested in advocating world peace why not begin
it in your characteristic locality. Why go anywhere else when you can
work at a grass root level in your l country or area? 


The truth is if  true compassion for world peace  ever existed than one would first try
to look at the disturbance around his surrounding and work towards it.
When the cry of Humanity is unheard here how can one hear the pain  elsewhere.

 I guess peace cannot be brought in by personal agendas. If  one  wish to attain World Peace one
need to first look within themselves if they are living rightfully and do they deserve to preach others on peace, Humanity and Love when they have never practiced. 


 Love, Peace, Values or Honesty.
I suppose it's very easy to be preaching peace in the world when one
need to first find peace within his own self. If you forget about who
you are, where you come from and look for sincere answers within you.
You will realize that peace is needed within us.

 If each of us takes responsibility for our own actions and looks within us than there is
no need to organise any event or speak on the subject or propogate.


Peace is Silence, Not the hue and cry. 
mere waste of time, energy  and Money and Shallaow.

True tranquility is to find the truthfulness within us. 

To  grasp our errors and make revision and strive to reform
. Forgive  and regret our sin,

 Accept our circumstances as our own conduct 

and submission to the will of Allah. 

This is the one and only way to attain sincere world peace.
Rest is Illusion 


The propogaters of peace  are the biggest conflict makers Globally.

Islam on accusing a woman of Adultery

Allah Most High says,

“Those who slander chaste secured, and believing women are cursed in
this life and in the hereafter: for them is a grievous chastisement.
On the day when their tongues, their hands, and their feet will bear
witness against them as to their as to their actions.” (24: 23-24)

Allah the Almighty in these verses makes it clear that whosoever
unjustly accuses as chaste free woman of committing adultery is cursed
both in this world and in the hereafter, and deserves grave
chastisement.

The Prophet, too, forbade a man to wrongfully accuse his bondman or
his slave girl of committing adultery.

A person who accuses his maid servant with adultery, will be subjected
to the punishment of slandering on the Day of Judgement unless he
happens to be true”

A lot of ignorant people are indulged in such offenses which procure
the chastisement in this world and in the hereafter.

When a person says something unknowingly right or wrong, it may lead
him to fall down in hell as far away as the distance between the east
and west.

Mu’az b. Jabal asked, “O Messenger of Allah! Will we be called to
account for what we say?” The Prophet answered “May you be lost to
your mother! The people will be thrown with their face.” down, into
the hell only on account of the product of the tongues “i.e. their
talking: ” He who believes in Allah and the Day of Resurrection should
speak well. Otherwise, he should keep silent.”

Allah says,

“Not a word does he utter but there is a vigilant Guardian” (50:18)

‘Uqbah Ibn ‘ Amir once asked the Prophet (pbuh),

“What is the salvation, Allah’s Apostle?” The Prophet said, “Control
your tongue, keep inside your house, and weep (be sorry) for your
sins. And the person farthest from Allah will be the one whose heart
is hard”

Outer shell of Good but authenticity of Evil

Date: 26th October 2012 Ajmer, India

For centuries, people have endeavored to set apart themselves and
evoke the mysteries of spirituality. Spiritual Healing is your
ultimate weapon to boost your immune system and have a peace of mind
and soul for good mental and spiritual health.

Every fortnight I have been meeting or coming across men and women who
have been initiated by some internet sheikhs from India, Turkey,
Bangladesh, Indonesia and so on into the wazifa’s and are in trouble
with visions and dreams which one is unable to control.
As we all know Sufism, Mysticism, Psychic Phenomena, the Occult and
other aspects of the New Age Movement are sweeping the world.
Nevertheless, we should be conscious of what is going on, without
dwelling on evil. We need to have enough knowledge to be sensitive
about Satan’s devices, but not live with him!

The new-age Sufism / Mysticism is the most deceptive and damaging
philosophy around today. It is entwined not only in witchcraft and
Satanism. The belief system is deeply rooted in Sufi or the Eastern
Mysticism, and the Occult, with ancient pagan backgrounds. Followers
are told to awaken their God consciousness through Wazifa's... What
most do not understand is,

When Iblees was certain that he was doomed, he resolved to mislead
whomever he could from the slaves of Allah, so that they would be
with him in Hell.
(Iblees (Satan)) said: "O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall
indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I
shall mislead them all.
"Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them" (Quran, al-Hijr: 39 – 40).

Satan’s ultimate goal

After Allah gave him the reprieve until the Day of Judgment, he made
Misleading man as his primary goal. Allah told us about that in the
Quran,
“(Iblees) said: ‘Because You have sent me astray, surely, I will sit
in wait against them (human beings) on Your straight path. Then I will
come to them.
from before them and behind them, from their right and from their
left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they
will not be
dutiful to You)’” (Quran, Al-Aaraf: 16, 17).

He has such confidence in ensnaring his victims whom he openly
declares his strategy of approaching them from all sides and making
them succumb to his
temptations. The first victims of Satan were Adam (alaihis salam) and Hawwa.
Allah says, “Then the Shaitan (Satan) made them slip there from (the
Paradise), and got them out from that in which they were. We said:
"Get you down, all, with enmity between yourselves. On earth will be a
dwelling place. for you and an enjoyment for a time" (Quran,
Al-Baqarah: 36).

“and an enjoyment for a time" is what Satan makes the most of the. He
has decided to make the world appear beautiful and attractive and
works on ways to lure man, limit his perspective to the gains,
pleasures and enjoyment of this world alone, and make him forget the
path that Allah (SWT) has chalked out for all human beings during
their stay here.

Satan’s ultimate goal is to make people go astray and eventually to
turn them into disbelievers, or polytheists at a minimum. The way
Satan pursues that goal varies in accordance with the interests and
inclinations of his victims.
For example, he uses piety to attack the pious; scholarly disciplines
to attack scholars; false reasoning and logic for those who take pride
in being knowledgeable, and ignorance to attack the ignorant.

The Satan, as well as the other evil spirits, are fallen Jinn, who
turned away from Allah. However, they have the power to appear to
people as generous. What appears to some to be a “Divine Light” is, in
reality, the “Shining Darkness” of Satan. Despite the attractiveness,
and apparent concern shown by these ”Spirit Guides," these spirits
will ultimately lead to unworldly cruelty and other forms of
transcendent annihilation here on Earth, and possibly serious
consequences in the life to come with occult and other forbidden
practices.

Despite the clear implications of such practices, an increasing number
of people is abandoning their true faith to follow some
self-proclaimed sheikhs that have their own agendas or many aspects by
the name of initiating certain Wazifa’s / Bayat. People today are
replacing God with evil spirits, Jinns, Moakils ,. The seductions are
subtle, but at its core is Satan himself, on the surface, appears to
be a good thing. It promises global peace, health, personal and
spiritual growth, and environmental stability. However, the methods it
promotes to achieve these goals are cleverly hidden beneath a
compassionate surface appearance. Nevertheless, , on the surface, does
not deny the existence of Allah -- to do so would scare off most
believers in an instant. Instead, clever sentence structure is
applied, while traditional aspects of our faith are redefined.

Allah becomes less than what he is, Allah, and instead is relegated
to become one of a number of “Spiritual Guides” who were mere humans
that “evolved” into taller beings after discovering and using “ancient
wisdom.” Indeed, it promises that any individual can attain this
status through “self-realization'" Realization'” or “taller
Consciousness'” of the fact of one’s own “Higher Self," “God-Self”, or
“Divinity." Essentially, everyone can become God.

The New Age Trend of Wazifa initiated by the Modern So Called Shaikh
are nothing more than an occult practice, and an experience produced
through meditation and finally inviting the Jinns or Moakils, which
is travelling outside one’s body in spirit form to another
destination... It opens up a gateway for demonic spirits. Demons move
in and take possession. It is an occult practice and powered by evil
spirits. Once a person is taken into such control over his/her spirit,
they can enter the spirit realm any time and talk to demons... The
force behind is demonic. Satan deceiving the one who is desperately
asking questions. I should come as no surprise that nine out of ten
times the answer just happens to be what the person wants to hear.
Once contact is established through the wazifa's, Satan lures the
victim into other occult activities. Most will indulge to get answers
to many questions, instead of asking Allah.

Some believe that using it can reveal hidden things in the
subconscious. Still others believe that while the communications are
produced supernaturally, the supernatural source is devilish rather a
sure way to Depression and satanic Possession. We are to be under the
guidance and control of Allah (swt).

This practice is often used in occultism and shamanism. One should
never attempt to do that no matter whoever says it as these are
heading to dangerous gates. The initiation is not the right of any
Shaikh rather it has to be an order and the will of the Almighty. Then
you are initiated, and the guidance comes along with it. This leads
you to the path creating the beautiful soul with pain and experiences.
Teachings and Gifts, If not than venturing to such an unknown path
is very dangerous and to be avoided at all costs by the believers.
Most Sheikhs are themselves are self-proclaimed sheikhs in today's
times. The women are initiated and used for various sexual activities.
One is advised to accept the Shaikh as the man who Allah has chosen,
and he will be permitted to use the murshid for physical pleasure.

This is exploitation, and the Jinns make you to get into these traps.
If you are trapped in such weird situation, it's nearly impossible to
get out of it.
safe and sound: Durood is a sure means of Allah Ta’ala granting
blessings, peace, prosperity and favours of great magnitude on one who
recites Durood Shareef on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim). The reciter of Durood Shareef receives all the benefits in
this world and utmost gain in the next world with addition to the love
of the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim).

The invocation of Blessings on the Holy Prophet (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) is styled in Arabic as “Salawat," in Persian as “Durood,"
and in Urdu as “Salawat-o-Salaam”.
The regular recitation of Durood Shareef on Sayyiduna Rasoolullah
(Sallal Laahu Alaihi Wasallim) lifts up our hearts on to a plane of
comprehension where we gaze in our new-found peace and moral armour.

We have been told by Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (Sallal Laahu Alaihi
Wasallim) that Durood Shareef is itself Light and when light enters
the soul, every aspiration is achieved and every goal is won. Nothing
remains thereafter to worry about. The daily recitation of Durood
Shareef has a tremendous effect on the human head, heart, mind and
person. It purifies thoughts and intensifies actions. It makes
passages for perfect peace and personal satisfaction.

> Hell with him. So, let’s remember that when we find ourselves around evil or

> (Satan) tries to turn you away (O Muhammad) (from doing good), then seek
> refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All Hearer, the All Knower” (Quran,
> Fussilat: 36).
>
> Ways in which Satan approaches us
>
> Satan approaches man through stealthy means. Allah (SWT) cautions us in the
> Quran with this verse:
>
> “Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you
> from where you cannot see them” (Quran, Aal-e-Imran: 27).
>
> The following are some of the ways in which Satan approaches man to invite
> him toward evil.
>
> Provokes rebelliousness – After establishing the supremacy of one’s ego in
> one’s heart, Satan encourages the person to become rebellious and to reject
> the laws and rules established by Allah the All Mighty. He leads men to
> their suspicion, questioning and argumentation in sheer obduracy. In a world
> where human weakness from temptations and weakness of faith abound, Satan
> influences man into ignoring and belittling the words of Allah stated in the
> Quran. He thus overly engages man into running after the worldly goals at
> the expense of violating divine commandments. Let’s not forget that when we
> engage in this form of rebellion where our hearts start to ignore or reject
> the truth, we risk doing exactly what Satan did, as we see from the verse
> where Allah said, “… except Iblees (Satan), he refused and was proud and was
> one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah)” (Quran, al-Baqarah: 34).
> Let’s ensure, therefore, that our actions and thoughts do not lead us to
> rebel against Allah’s message that He revealed to His Messenger.
>
> Weakens one’s faith and Eeman in Al-Qadr (Allah’s Divine Will) – Believing
> in Allah’s will is an integral part of a Muslim’s faith. Another common way
> for the Satan is, therefore, to make us compare our situations with those
> around us and leads us to feeling discontented with Allah’s will. Satan thus
> diverts our attention from accepting the will of Allah to focusing on those
> who may have more of this life’s luxuries and thus arousing feelings of envy
> and jealousy. He also presents this life as the sole prize that cannot be
> missed and thus induces in us discontentment with our present situations in
> life.
>
> As Muslims, let’s ensure that we do not let Satan play with our imagination,
> conjuring up rosy pictures of the unattainable, making us visualize what
> could have been or should have been our destiny thus weakening our faith in
> Al Qadr. As Muslims, we should never forget Allah’s “will” in the ultimate
> determination of our destinies. We should also remember the Day of Judgment
> when all accounts will be settled and appropriate dues will be paid. “And
> only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full”
> (Quran, Aal-e-Imran: 185). Also, as Allah says in the Quran, “And you cannot
> will unless (it be) that Allah wills the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind,
> jinn and all that exists)” (Quran, al-Takweer: 29).
>
> Instills feelings of pride and Ar-Riya (showing off) – When one does good
> deeds, Satan is quick to instill feelings of pride followed by the desire to
> show off one’s virtues or achievements (also referred to as Ar-Riya). He
> diverts his victim’s mind from vying for the deed’s rewards from Allah to
> expecting praise to flow from people instead. As Muslims, let’s not forget
> that the payoff that we desire for our deeds reflects the nature of the
> intention of doing those deeds. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) says: "The
> most fearful thing I fear for you is Minor Shirk". He (Peace be upon him)
> was asked about it, and he said: "It is (Ar-Riya’) showing off". Then, he
> (Peace be upon him) explained it saying, "A man stands in prayer, performs
> it more beautifully and properly than ever, because he notices someone
> looking at him" (Imam Ahmed).
>
> Induces conceit in a person who has accomplishments to his credit – Satan
> also induces false confidence in a person making him feel that he has
> reached perfection or that he is far better than others. This leads to
> vanity, self-admiration and distancing one from reality. As a result, the
> person starts viewing others patronizingly. We should, therefore, constantly
> remember Allah and look for opportunities of doing good deeds. Most of us
> know the story of the prostitute from the nation of Children of Israel who
> saved a dog from dying thirsty and as a result of that deed was entered in
> paradise. Similarly, we also know the story of the lady who trapped her cat
> and made her die of hunger and as a result was sent to hell fire. This is
> why the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “…one of
> you may do the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is nothing
> between him and it but a cubit, then the decree overtakes him and he does a
> deed of the people of Hell and enters it. And one of you may do the deeds of
> the people of Hell until there is nothing between him and it but a cubit,
> then the decree overtakes him and he does a deed of the people of Paradise,
> and enters it” (al-Bukhaari (3208) and Muslim (2643) from Ibn Mas’ood).
>
> Uses laziness and procrastination to keep one away from good deeds – We
> should realize that when Satan fails to make us rebel against the key truths
> of Islam, he uses other tactics to distance us from our basic obligations by
> using the tools of laziness and procrastination, and belittling in our minds
> the importance of those obligations. For example, even though many Muslims
> recognize the obligation to pray regularly, they fail to follow through in
> getting regular in such worships. In one of the hadiths narrated by Abu
> Hurayrah, he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of
> Allah be upon him) said: “The Shaitan ties three knots at the back of the
> head of any one of you when he goes to sleep, striking each knot and saying:
> “You have a long night ahead, so sleep.” If he wakes up and remembers Allah,
> one knot is undone. If he does wudoo’, two knots are undone. If he prays,
> all the knots are undone, and he starts the day energetic and in a good
> mood. Otherwise, he starts his day in a bad mood and feeling lazy”
> (al-Bukhaari (3269) and Muslim (776)).
>
> Sets one Muslim against another – Satan works on a common human weakness
> related to making one quickly assume something negative about the other. He
> thus infuses suspicion and doubt in the hearts of Muslims making them think
> badly about one another, and provoking them against one another. For
> example, Satan considers sowing the seeds of discord between a husband and
> wife as one of his greatest achievements. The Prophet (S.A.W.S) said: "Iblis
> places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating
> dissension between people); the nearer to him in rank are those who are most
> notorious in creating dissension. One of them comes and says: “I did so and
> so.” And he says: “You have done nothing.” Then one amongst them comes and
> says: “I did not spare so and so until I sowed the seed of discord between a
> husband and a wife.” Satan goes near him and says: “You have done well.” He
> then embraces him” (Sahih Muslim and narrated by Jabir Ibn ‘Abdullah).
>
> Pushes obligatory deeds to the background – Within Islam, obligatory duties
> take precedence as they establish the Muslim’s identity and foundation of
> belief. When Satan’s efforts to influence the staunch believer hit a dead
> end, he attempts to make the ‘recommended’ lawful deeds appear more inviting
> than ‘obligatory’ duties thus pulling the believers away from the obligatory
> duties of Islam. For example, helping and supporting parents and family
> members is more important than helping friends. Similarly, praying the five
> obligatory prayers in congregation is more important than praying Taraweeh
> prayers. We should, therefore, be careful in not sacrificing the obligatory
> deeds at the expense of the less important deeds.
>
> Finally, at the end, whom do we blame and what will Satan say?
>
> So, at the end – on the Day of Judgment – when we are all made to account
> for what we had done in this life, we won’t be able to blame Satan for the
> bad deeds that we did because of how he had incited us. Rather, this is what
> Satan will say on the Day of Judgment (as Allah tells us in the Quran):
>
> “And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: ‘Verily,
> Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I
> betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, and you
> responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you,
> nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a
> partner with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there
> is a painful torment for the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers)’”
> (Quran, Ibraaheem: 22).
>
> There’s much to ponder about in this verse. Here are the key points:
>
> Satan knows the real truth of Allah’s message. We know this because he will
> say, “Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth…” He will continue to
> say later, “I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner
> with Allah (by obeying me in the life of the world).”
> Satan will mock us by pushing the burden back on us. He would say, “…I
> called you, and you responded to me…”
> Satan would not even accept the blame and instead will put the blame on us.
> He would say, “…So blame me not, but blame yourselves…”
>
> The remedy – ways to protect ourselves
>
> In spite of all the tactics that Satan uses to mislead mankind, he is not
> able to hurt those of Allah’s slaves who are aware of Satan’s tactics, and
> use their defenses provided them by Allah to ward off those tactics. Allah
> says in the Quran:
>
> "(Iblis (Satan)) said: ‘By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all.
> Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true
> believers of Islamic Monotheism).’” (Quran, Saad: 82-83).
>
> Allah said to Satan:
>
> "Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who
> follow you of the Ghawun (Mushrikun and those who go astray, criminals,
> polytheists, and evil-doers)” (Quran, Al-Hijr: 42).
>
> The following are some of the defenses that we can use to keep Satan from
> exerting his influence over us.
>
> Ignore Satanic whispers (waswaas) – One of the effective ways to ignore
> Satanic whispers is to first be aware of them and then once recognized, to
> ignore them. So, we should be quick to recognize that when we feel being
> driven by our temptations to do bad or succumb to a feeling of laziness or
> procrastination to do good, we should ignore that waswaas. It is worth
> quoting here what Ibn Hajar al-Haythami (may Allah have mercy on him) said
> about dealing with waswasah in his book al-Fataawa al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kubra
> (1/149). This is what he said: “He was asked about the problem of waswasah
> (insinuating whispers from the Shaitan), and whether there is a remedy for
> it. He replied that there is an effective remedy for it, which is to ignore
> them completely, no matter how frequently they may come to mind. When these
> whispers are ignored, they do not become established; rather they go away
> after a short time, as many people have experienced. But for those who pay
> attention to them and act upon them, they increase until they make him like
> one who is insane or even worse, as we see among many of those who have
> suffered from them and paid attention to them and to the devil whose task it
> is to insinuate these whispers, whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of
> Allah be upon him) warned us against…, as was explained in Sharh Mishkaat
> al-Anwaar.
>
> In al-Saheehayn there is a report which supports what has been mentioned
> above, which is that whoever suffers from waswaas should seek refuge with
> Allah and turn away from the waswaas. So think about this effective remedy
> which was taught by the one who does not speak of his own whims and desires
> to his ummah, and understand that whoever is deprived of this is deprived of
> all goodness, because waswasah comes from Satan, according to scholarly
> consensus, and Satan has no other desire than to make the believers go
> astray, make them confused, make their life a misery, and cause them
> distress to the extent that they leave Islam without realizing it.
>
> Faith and Trust in Allah – Allah says in the Holy Quran: "Verily! He (Satan)
> has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord
> (Allah)" (Quran, An-Nahl: 99). The message, therefore, is clear and that is
> to direct our attention not to what works in helping Satan in his goals but
> to do what our Creator wants for us. Allah says in the Holy Quran: "And
> whoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to
> get out (of every difficulty). And he will provide him from (sources) he
> never could imagine" (Quran, At-Talaq: 2-3).
>
> Fearing Allah and not His Creation – Another weapon used by Satan is that of
> inducing fear in the hearts of weak human beings. He tries to frighten the
> believers with apprehension of various consequences and difficulties in
> following the Straight Path. Allah tells us in the Quran: “Shaitan (Satan)
> threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds,
> sins, illegal sexual activities, etc.) whereas Allah promises you
> forgiveness from Himself and Bounty, and Allah is All-Sufficient for His
> creature’s needs, All-Knower” (Quran, al-Baqarah: 268).
>
> Allah warns us that one of Satan’s tactics is to make us fear His creation.
> He says in the Quran: "It is only Shaitan (Satan) that suggests to you the
> fear of his Auliya’ (supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in
> the Oneness of Allah and in His Messenger Muhammad); so fear them not, but
> fear Me, if you are (true) believers" (Quran, Aal-e-Imran: 175).
>
> Recite Dhikr – We should use Allah’s remembrance (Dhikr-Allah) to ward off
> waswaas. Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that “…when the
> Shaitan hears dhikr (remembrance of Allah) he slinks away, and Laa ilaaha
> ill-Allah is the best of dhikr, and the most effective remedy for warding
> off waswasah is to remember Allah a great deal.”
>
> Obtaining Islamic knowledge (from the Right Sources) –Taking heed of Satan’s
> ways and becoming aware of his plans and goal can help us to be alert to his
> influence or persuasion and keep our defenses up. For this, it is essential
> to acquire Islamic knowledge from the right sources. It is very difficult
> for Satan to approach those dedicated to learning. Let us reflect upon what
> Imam Shafai said: "All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and
> all those who have knowledge are asleep except those who do good deeds; and
> those who do good deeds are deceived except those who are sincere; and those
> who are sincere are always in a state of worry."
>
> Taking refuge and shelter in Allah – Allah says in the Holy Quran: "And if
> an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitan (Satan), then seek refuge with
> Allah. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower" (Quran, Al-Aaraf: 200). One of
> the other ways to seek refuge from Satan is to recite the last two chapters
> of the Holy Quran, namely Surat Al-Falaq (The Daybreak) and Surat An-Nas
> (Mankind), by supplicating for Allah’s Protection, and seeking the Most
> Merciful’s forgiveness for one’s sins constantly.
>
> Being thankful to Allah for the gift of Eeman and seeking His Protection for
> it – Let us remember that the confidence Satan expressed in his success to
> mislead people, stems from his assurance that most people are ungrateful to
> their Creator, Lord and Master Allah the All Mighty. Allah says in the Quran
> that Satan claimed: “. . . and You will not find most of them as thankful
> ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You).” (Quran, Al-Aaraf: 17). It is,
> therefore, man’s ingratitude to Allah that Satan banks upon in getting man
> off track. So one of the antidotes to Satanic whispers is to be in a state
> of constant consciousness of Allah (SWT), and thankfulness for all His

>
> To conclude, as and when we fall to our temptations to commit the wrong,

The King of Qawwals Niazi Nizami Brothers

The Dynamic Presence of the Religious Head of the Ajmer Shariff Dargah
at the ISFI Sufi Award

A ceremony which brings the humanity collectively without the basis of
religion is what is required. A Festival of this quality with much
honesty towards the mission without any agendas must be conducted not
just in Ajmer relatively in every part of the world since it unites us
without any barriers and distributes the message of harmony and
worship’ said The Dargah Deewan, also the Sajjada Nasheen and the
Religious Head of Ajmer shrine, Syed Zainual Abedin Ali Khan at the
ISFI Awards and the Closing Ceremony of the 8 day International Sufi
festival in the holy city of Ajmer. The cities beaucrats, politicians,
VVIP’s, the guest were delighted at the ten minutes Electrifying
presence of the Dargah Deewan, the head of the Chishtiyyah Order. The
Deewan Saheb‘s presence on the introductory day and the closing
ceremony was by itself a acknowledgement and acceptance of the ISFI

The Sound of Music at the ISFI 2012 Ajmer

India has a lot to give to the world, even if it is her music! The 3rd
day of the ISFI Festival reflected exactly what 'Rishi Inc.’ believes
in; nurturing the true beauty of India and presenting it to the world
in an all-new different style. Rishi, Santa, Tarit and Ritesh – the
sound of music was the language of Sufism. With influences from both
rock and folk, Rishi Inc. incorporated an amalgamation of the music
that was accepted by the audience asking the group to continue the
evening with the fusion music. The audience was connected to the music
and drowned their spirits in their representation. The Band gave a
marvelous performance and left the audience asking for more music.

Anupama Srivastava's melodious Kabir Vani and poetry on Bulleh Shah
was another treat for the viewers. Vaishali Rai recited the poetry in
praise of Hazrat Amir Khusro.
