Here’s a chair… Sit & Drink Water

Yes sure! Drinking water has amazing benefits, but did you know that there is a difference when drinking water sitting vs standing. Here are some interesting facts.:

Water is essential for healthy living, if you havent already jumped onto the band wagon of drinking atleast 4 glasses of water a day, we highly suggest you go pour yourself a glass of water before reading this.

YOU SHOULD TRY TO AVOID DRINKING WATER STANDING! As shocking as it might sound the quality of water and the way you drink water affects how your body absorbs the nutrients. Standing up and drinking water makes the body out of sync with its natural way of doing things and triggers the nervous system, thus making it feel it is facing danger. Your body is bound to face stress or any tension resulting in your body not taking in nutrients correctly.

While standing upright when drinking water gushes the water to your stomach, sitting allows for ease for your bodies water intake. Sitting while drinking water has other benefits:

-reducing ulcers

-less bloating

-better digestion

-Toxins go away, impurities are flushed out and your health improves overall!

Bare in mind that you should never gulp water but rather pace the way you drink water and try to finish a glass of water in 3 sips.

Now here is the funny part… as much as science has brought upon this research, 1000 of years ago messengers of God have already tried to teach this to society.

According to a Hadith

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Do not drink water only in one breath, but drink it in two or three breaths.”

Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaho Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Sit down and drink.” (Hadith Muslim) and also said: “None of you should drink while standing; and if anyone forgets, he must vomit.”

The Supreme Creator – Allah

  • Allah is the Supreme Power that runs through the entire of creation.
  • There is no other life force but His.
  • He blew His Breath into the system and watches its evolution.
  • But He remains out of the system.
  • The world is running on His Breath, everything is running on His Breath, nothing else exists – except that He gave it a chance to exist.
  • The Breath that was used to create everything is the same Breath that runs through man.
  • The very Breath that said “Be” and everything became – The same words on man’s lips can be very dangerous – For what we say can become – and what we think can become.
  • To Him belongs the world of man…. Therefore, He is found in everything…
  • He is the energy that begins creation of everything and completes it. Eg.
    -The energy in a seed
    will grow it to what it will become.
    -The same energy in an animal sperm
    will grow it to what it will become
    -Likewise mankind’s sperm
    will grow him into what he will become…
    -Therefore, it is His energy in everything that is constantly creating everything to become what it is meant to be.
  • Allah is not separate from anything He has created because the energy He is, is the only thing that is keeping existence alive. This means Allah is everything, is in everything, but not everything is Allah!!

THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD MUSTAPHA ﷺ

Here are 10 amazing secrets about the source of the Holy Prophet of Allah. Much has been written over the matter already – this is the enigma of the beloved of Allah brought forward for your contemplation so that the greater vision can be seen by the seekers. The life of Muhammad must be seen through the eye of esoteric and exoteric knowledge for his reality to be known. These two fold levels of knowledge falls under Sharia (laws of man) and Marifah (secrets within man).

The facts below are taken out from Shaykh Abd’ AlQadir Jailani’s book ‘’Secrets of Secrets. Manifestations of the Light’’

  • He is the first light of Allah – the light that first came into existence before anything was. This makes him the light though which Allah created everything. This light of Allah is called “Nur Muhammadiya”.
  • Allah ﷻ first created the Spirit/Ruh of Muhammad ﷺ from the light of His Beauty.
  • In a hadith the Prophet ﷺ said – ‘’The first thing that Allah created was the Pen – ‘Qalam’.”
  • In the same hadith the Prophet of Allah said – “the first thing Allah created was ‘Al Aql’ – the Intellect”.
  • This means that all of the above is the same – It is known as the Muhammadan Reality. It is the light of Allah without the mystery of Allah Himself – therefore Pure Light, unclouded by the darkness of Allah’s Majesty.
  • When seen as ‘Al Aql’ – It is the complete intellect that can comprehend all universal truths.
  • When his light is seen as the Pen/Qalam – then it is the instrument for the transmission of knowledge.
  • The Muhammadan Spirit is thus the quintessence of all entities – the first of all beings and the origin of them all. In a Hadith Qudsi (sacred Tradition) the prophet ﷺ said – ‘’I am from Allah and the believers are from me’’.
  • Allah ﷻ created all spirits in its finest formation in the realm of divinity from ‘Nur Muhammadiya’ – thus Muhammad is the name of all human beings that return to this realm, and he is the original home of all returning spirits/ruhs.
  • When 24 thousand years had passed, Allah ﷻ created Heavenly Throne ‘’Arsh’’ from the light of the eye of Muhammad ﷺ – And from the Heavenly Throne He created the rest of existing entities.  

In a hadith it is reported that the Holy Prophet once asked the Archangel Jibrael (a.s) when he was created. The angel answered that when he first came into existence he saw a light that circulated the universe – This light took 70 000 years to make one circulation, and that he Jibrael (a.s) saw it circulate 70 000 times. When he asked Allah ﷻ about it – he was told it was ‘Nur Muhammadiya’ – the ‘light of Muhammad’.

The Zuhur – by nurmuhammadiya

This is a book based on mysticism and is a pursuit to gain communication with your identity and your consciousness. It is based on the idea of Social Activism – the idea of how to assist with the correction of the world. It promotes direct social, political, economical & environmental change; if it is practiced and not just taken as a mere conjecture. A book translating life like never before. From the Source of all life – this is the first of its kind. A book of secrets for those who wish to master the path with the intention to become the guide.

We are asking for the souls and spiritual conditions here on earth to make way for the ‘New Knowledge’ – as the generation due to carry it this task out are here and are being prepared by the Creator.
As they are awakened, this knowledge must reach them or else the Power with which they come will cause much destruction (i.e the coming of age of this new generation will cause their own souls to attract lessons and to wreak havoc upon themselves & others).
May our Creator protect the seal on this book and open it to those who are worthy of receiving its orders.

99 Names of Allah & its benefits

It is inside the Name of Allah (swt) that the mystic knowledge of creation lies. The secrets to everything seen and unseen. The Names of Allah (swt) was programmed by Him into a seed and placed into the secret hidden chambers of the heart of man. Our chief purpose on earth is to activate the attributes within our hearts by calling upon the bestowed name. It is perfectly designed to be triggered by man through recitation, meditation and understanding – once stimulated and motivated it will become fully initiated within us.

Thus the Names of Allah (swt) is His nature and attributes that was paced in us to empower us, the trick lies in manifesting was is already within is.

What we lack in our lives is the power to balance all things, the power to attract all good, the power to hold authority, the power to heal or to empower our character with the best results and to do this it takes just recitation and contemplation of His Names manifesting it by giving permission to our divine consciousness to empower our lives with the power of the Names within us.

This particular folder deals with manifestations and affirmations and will be added with more clarity time and time again. So keep close to your heart the Names and attributes that you wish for the Lord to bestow upon you.

Weekend Dramas & Desserts

The hype – the huff puff to prepare for the long awaited extended weekend festive holidays – how exhilarating!!! With best dishes coming out of long storage, and shopping trolleys rattling along the isles filling up with luxury items that are reserved for family gatherings. The traumas of yesterday and yesteryears becomes long forgotten. Hair wash days, spring cleaning and the smell of freshly baked delicacies – Yes! For sure family fun days are here once again!

And then they arrive – car doors banging shut, lots of excited voices entering the once peaceful home and the day has just begun. So why is it that we always experience that momentary stifling feeling? Is it because we somehow catch a hint of a scent of past dramas in the air – and that is how all holiday dramas begin? Each one pairing with their favorite conversationists, and kids piling together in a room to collapse on the large double bed – lots of screaming and hooting laughter fills the air.

Somewhere someone is screaming for the braai stand to be brought out and amidst the elders catch up on cutting-edge gossip – There is always a drama looming waiting to spring on the festive hearts and coffee cups ready for washing. You know the drama – it starts of as a cheesy issue – and builds into a horrendous tangle of “he said”, “she said”, and ends with “I want to have nothing to do with this issue…” always spoken by the one who probably started the drama in the first place – and be sure of this fact that even if he did not start it – he definitely set it alight pushing it to the ultimate family splitting life threatening performance hosting both tragedy and an indication of spectacular cyclic disaster – So where do you fit in?

Are you the one standing in the side-line shaking your head from side to side – taking the side of anyone who even glances at you for support? Or are you the one prancing in the centre of the drama reliving every moment so that the others miss nothing of the already tangled documentary series families live out every time they try to get together for another one of their side-splitting, hair raising weekends. I personally wait for the fat lady to sing before bringing the whole drama to a grand finale – Be quick and smart enough to put on the kettle and bring on the delicacies and desserts – Now that’s the drama we all want to be a part of. You probably recognise this scene. Where the younger generations gather together to run to kitchen amidst all giggles. Plotting and planning how they will patch up the moment just so that they can get a few more moments of life bonding tete-a-tete trying to avoid the ice-cream spilled on the floor by the families last borne.

Sounds all too familiar neh! So…. How to end a drama? Whilst delicacies and desserts brings the tears to a standstill, shrinking tempers to the size of a tot, lets freeze and focus on the drama waiting to unfold on the drive back. If you don’t want to hear the whole story again, minion style – then grab this one liner and shoot for the bull in the eye. Tell them dramas are a part of life and the quicker they can get over it the faster they can get together to create more memories. Thing is… the most beautiful things in life are not just things…. They’re people and places – memories and pictures – happiness represented in heart felt feelings and many, many moments of smiles and laughter. So… here’s to all those Sufi souls – who always remember to bring the desserts!  Stay blessed through all dramas. Regardless of what they will say – all dramas will come to an end. And nogal definitely before the next long weekend!

To die each day, pleasurably

I salute those of you that made it past the age of twelve without ending life. Hi! My name is Imaan and this is my story. A broken relationship – a damaged heart – and here I stand a few months later… this is how it all began. It was a relationship that was doomed from the beginning, but one that brought the much needed growing pains to the party. Perhaps that is why developmental experiences of first time relationships are prized possessions. All I remember needing through these phases that broke me whilst knitting together a new purposeful destination was, how much I wanted to hang onto the mind that was feeding me with the emotions that increased my hurt – whilst consistently feeding me with grief, sorrow, and sadness. I know it makes my failed relationship all the more dramatic – but let’s face it – every one of us is guilty of committing this crime.

 

So let me walk you down the dreary path of suffering that I took with a spoonful of sugar coated advice that poured in from all my well-wishers – and it is with hope in my heart I beseech the reader of this article to handle the moment in a more graceful manner when their turn arrives. Readers out here may not have realised it but the writer of every storyline is in the hands of predestination. Nothing happens in this the lower world without first being brilliantly planned in the upper worlds. This is the great universal power’s way of telling us that if we do not use the moment presented to us to focus on the mystery package handed over to us and deal with it, it will continue to feed us with experiences to grow us into the greater person we are meant to become. And let me warn you – predestination is not intimidated by our over emotional tantrums. The objective of life is to graduate you into awareness of the higher destiny written for every soul – you will be targeted until you are moulded into the new you, you are meant to echo.

 

I found that when I fought the process it crushed me again and again until I could breathe no more – and when finally I lay my head down on my pillow to accept defeat, it fed me with all creativeness I needed to become motivated enough to move forward – to a place where I could formulate a structured plan. Provided off course that I was up to listening. Now… if you are asking me for a quick short cut solution then let me counsel you now – life is not an app that you can download all set up and running – life hacks…. Now that is what you need. And this is how I handled myself through my daunting process.

 

Take a moment to realise that this is your awakening. It is for you a prearranged revival, a reviewed plan of the divine intervention not meant as a destruction. Then quick…. Find yourself a facilitator. An architect of life that will immediately set about to reorganise your future for a far greater success. You can alternatively work your way out of the chaotic turmoil with wounds to the heart and a mind involved in new relationships with cycles of trauma – now order, now disorder! This is the infamous path of suffering the past generations took – or – you can hack your way out through the skilful talents provided for your administration by the makers of your upper destiny.

It’s time for each one of us to recognise that during our stormy moments all we are tested on is how we will deal with each situation – not how much trauma the situation has dealt to us. Here’s to brewing that Sufi Wine…if you will be irritated by every rub how will you ever be polished!
