Quest for Iman and Ihsan…


About

Assalamu Alaikum,I dedicate this blog for all the Muslims brothers and sisters, who struggle to maintain a constant state of purity in body, soul and mind for the pleasure of Allah. Brothers and sisters engaged in the jihaad el nafs, the inner struggle.I have been born into Islam, studied the Quran as a youth and still remained detached from this great faith for a long time due the a complete ignorance of the essentials of Islamic believe or creed; the 5 pillars and the 6 articles of faith. I have known what they were in name and could explain their definitions , I have practiced the religion in parrot like fashion but only started to understand the fundamental principles of Islam and the believe (eman) in Allah, much later. It was then that the most beautiful feeling has engulfed me, a feeling of inner tranquillity and peace.

I feel it wane and increase ever now and then, the more I engage in seeking Islamic knowledge, acts of worship the more Allah blesses me with this special feeling..

It was when reaching this realisation that there was more to Islam than just prohibitions and acts of worship, practiced as I was told to by imams and parents that I have stopped threading the path of blind following and being Muslim merely by chance and started looking closely at where I was heading, the quality of my faith in Allah.   My provisions for this journey are 100% halaal soul food;  an open mind, the Quran and Sunnah, scholarly works and dua.  This is the beginning of my journey, will you join me?

Jizzaakkum Allah for the visit. J
