The closest we can get to Allah in this Dunya is in Salah, particularly in prostration. We lower our knees and forehead to the earth, to the dirt the lowest of all elements. Not only does it instill humility in the depths of our souls but it also reminds us where we are from. We have been created from the earth, born in the wombs of our mothers, taking the journey of life and soon to taste death, returning us to the depths of the earth. Whereupon reality will become crystal clear…

Advice from my Teacher
“Remember one thing, do not let Shaitan over power you. Sometimes it may happen that you are trapped in between what to choose- always choose the one that will take you to the right path…or that which is beneficial…”
Sister Mariam P.
Who is a blessing, gift, mercy and a source of guidance from Allah (swt) for my soul. For it was through her that I learned to love Allah (swt) and His Rasul (s.a.w). It was through her that I saw the Rope of Allah (swt)…May Allah (swt) bless this Ummah with more teachers like her, and May He (swt) raise her amongst the Ulema.
