...maulana muhammad mustafa sallalahu wallahi wasalama... peace and blessings on him... his family... his descendants and antecedents and all of us in his ummah who benefit so immensely from these ancient teachings that keep us aligned with time... with space... with the intersection of our earth in relaiton to the sun and moon and celestial spheres as we bow down accordingly...
...i don't... i mean i'm working on it... i usually do fajr when i wake up... which has been late of late... without the structure of a job it becomes easy to fall into a rhythm that lacks urgency...
...in the reading of the Recitation... i am learning to listen for answers to my questions - how do i fulfill my duty as a human... as a man...?... and ALLAH makes it clear - to be humble... to engage in these practices that will teach you humility -fasting, bowing down in prayer... giving of your income... doing good deeds... avoiding the limelight... Service and doing this in Quiet...
...by fulfilling my obligations i am fulfilling my Purpose - completing what i start because others can benefit... doing this even if i don't feel like it because i am obliged to fight... and in going into the battlefield fo dunya of fighting my laziness and complacency... and avoidance... i am met with growth... with Qudus - a purification - boundaries - i can only speak to you if you would like to talk Spirituality... of setting these boundaries with Work... of seeing it through... of avoiding avoidance and putting off... of doing it even when i don't feel like it... of sharing the fruits of my labor with others... and in turn will come the community... through these interactions of sharing... in turn will come the village and family and asecnsion to You... of ammu ammu ammu... abbu...
...ali ali ali...
...ya Mutakabir... ever expanding... ever vast...
