Akhlaq Quotes

Dalam dekapan ukhuwah, kelembutan nurani menuntun kita untuk menjadi anak Adam sejati; memiliki kesalahan, mengakuinya, memperbaikinya, dan memaafkan sesama yang juga tak luput dari khilaf dan lupa...

Kita kadang merasa lebih benar, lebih baik, lebih tinggi, dan lebih suci dibanding mereka yang kita nasehati. Hanya mengingatkan kembali kepada diri ini: jika kau merasa besar, periksa hatimu. Mungkin ia sedang bengkak. Jika kau merasa suci, periksa jiwamu. Mungkin itu putihnya nanah dari luka nurani. Jika kau merasa tinggi, periksa batinmu. Mungkin ia sedang melayang kehilangan pajakan. Jika kau merasa wangi, priksa ikhlasmu, mungkin itu asap dari amal shalihmu YANG HANGUS DIBAKAR RIYA'.

Doa yang lemah, bisa diperbaiki dengan doa yang lebih kuat. Doa yang buruk, bisa diganti dengan doa yang baik. Lalu engkau bertanya, mengapakah doa-doa terbaik yang kau naikkan belum juga terjawab? Pertama, ikhlaskanlah pengertianmu agar lebih mudah bagimu untuk bersyukur. Kedua, ketahuilah bahwa doa yang sudah sangat baik, hanya bisa diperbaiki dengan meningkatkan akhlaq dari pribadi yang berdoa.

THE HEAVENS To the mallet of the Highest Mind The heavens are the smallest possible ball. (Akhlaq-i-Mohsini)

Toi, à qui Allah a accordé une femme, ne lève jamais la voix sur elle, elle ta tellement offert avec sa présence à tes cotés, par son amour qui te rappel chaque jour qu'elle est ta moitié, une moitié retrouvée un jour où tu était perdu, elle ta tellement offert si tu savais, elle fût la cause afin que tu soit père, n......'oublie jamais ce cadeau, car elle est la princesse qui ta délivré du donjon de la solitude.

These visionaries changed the course of material history by struggling (jihad) for purity of body and soul, liberty of heart and spirit. To do so, they focused—in their intellectual, devotional, and social practice—on Islamic ethics, morality, and character. They focused, in a word, on akhlaq. Khuluq (character, characteristic, trait of character) and its plural akhlaq are an axial meeting place of the spiritual and societal interests of the Sufi folk. Khuluq is a bisecting plane where heavenly and earthly concerns converge, the meeting space of the creation and the command (khalq and amr).

The Sufi Way is to follow the model provided by the Prophet‘s representatives on earth, the saints, who are the shaykhs or the spiritual masters. Once having entered the Way, the disciple begins to undergo a process of inward transformation. If he is among those destined to reach spiritual perfection, he will climb the ascending rungs of a ladder stretching to heaven and beyond; the alchemy of the Way will transmute the base copper of his substance into pure and noble gold. The Truth or „attainment to God“ is not a simple, one-step process. It can be said that this third dimension of Sufi teaching deals with all the inner experiences undergone by the traveler on his journey. It concerns all the „virtues“ (akhlaq) the Sufi must acquire, in keeping with the Prophet‘s saying, „Assume the virtues of God!“ If acquiring virtues means „attaining to God,“ this is because they do not belong to man. The discipline of the Way coupled with God‘s grace and guidance results in a process of purification whereby the veil of human nature is gradually removed from the mirror of the primordial human substance, made in the image of God, or, in the Prophet‘s words, „upon the Form of the All-Merciful.“ Any perfection achieved by man is God‘s perfection reflected within him.
