Lesson 1

My dear brothers and sisters,

As sa laa mu alai kum Va Rah’matulaahi Va Ba’rakaatuhu.

I begin,

My hands are extended in love towards you, oh my brothers and sisters in Islam. Please pray a dua for my family and me.

“Al ham du lil laa hil la thi, ar sala Ra su lu hu, bil hu da, va deenul Haqi, ammaa ba’hd.”

I am but a fleeting moment of dust particle within the All Encompassing Aura, Muhammad Sal lal la hu alai he wa sal lam, the Soothing Reflection for my weak vision and the Mercy of my futile being.

First I beg forgiveness from almighty Allah Subuhanallahu Ta’ala for all my short-comings. Second I surrender all my borrowed powers back to almighty Allah Az zawajal.

Please, notice that I have made every endeavor to omit Arabic text (but the English translocation is depicted) in my presentation below, from the Quran or Hadeeth, simply because we may never know where my text will end up.

“May Allah with the Rasulullah’s mercy, guide us all. May I earn my Mursheed’s pleasure.”

QURAN SURA 2. 132

“Inallahustafah lakumuuddeena falaa tamoothunna illah wa anthum Muslimun.”

“Allah has selected for you THE RELIGION, therefore die not except as those who have submitted to it.”
