Quotes of Sufi Master Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi

Compiled and translated in English by

Belief

Without Spiritual vision, belief is nothing but an assumption.

Charity

Remember that whenever you give, do it with the intention of pleasing God; without any hope for fame, respect or reward from others.

Children

Do not scare children in an early age, as this fear will remain hidden in their minds, which would prevent them achieving big things in life.

Do not call your children lazy, bad, or worthless. Instead, when you notice their weaknesses and shortcomings imagine that not long ago, you were a child too and you made numerous mistakes and acted carelessly.

Treat them with respect and love so that their hearts are filled with you respect and obedience.

Doubt

Never let the doubt in. No one with doubt in his heart can be a Sufi. Doubt is the biggest weapon of Satan through which he is able to create distance between God and you.

Education

Education has always been and always will be the secret of success. Individuals and nations who took pains to educate themselves are clearly the powerful nations and the powerful people in the world.

Explanation

Simply believing explanations of the facts (assumption) is not acceptable in Spiritual world. Only seeing and experiences of the inner-eye are worth believing.

Forgiveness & Detachment

Three things that are the biggest secrets of success

  • When you do something to hurt anyone, be very quick to ask for forgiveness.
  • If somebody hurts you, forgive him or her.
  • Do your best, but do not worry about the outcome, because the outcome is in the hands of the Lord. Greed

    Because our life on this planet is short and someday all of us have to go, it is foolish to love a temporary place and ignore the final destination. It is like if someone stopped at a motel for a few days and started decorating or refurbishing the place even though he knew that he has to leave the place in a few days! Nobody lives forever, why then all the hassle?

    Happiness

    Always be happy. No matter what happens, the single most important thing is to be happy and to spread happiness to others.

    Help

    One of the best ways to become a friend of God is by helping and serving His creations.

    Intuition

    Intuition is one of the 11,500 hidden senses that each human has. We can feed our intuition through Muraqaba (Sufi meditation).

    Joy

    Joy of spiritual fulfillment through Muraqaba (Sufi meditation) and other spiritual exercises is far deeper and profound than joy of material things.

    Kindness

    When two people meet, they always talk to each other. Before the conversation if one begins to think of words that will cause the other person to become delighted he or she will make the other person extremely at ease, convincible and light hearted.

    Love

    Love and respect of others is the biggest secret of success.

  • Normal Blood Pressure

  • Real strength for Soul

    • Necessities

    We must trust God for all of our needs. Look at your past and see how every single need that you had was met by Nature.

    Obstacles

    Real strength is gained by handling obstacles of life.

    Peace

    Once connection with God is established, the heart becomes completely satisfied and heavenly bliss of peace and tranquility becomes his or her destiny.

    Quest

    Quest for spiritual knowledge is everyones duty. We must sincerely have a genuine desire in seeking the unseen world and encourage others for its quest.

    Self

    In the beginning the Spiritual Master makes you aware of your Self, of a treasure within you. And then he opens the door of that treasure.

    Sincerity

    That first candle burns by itself and then the moths give away their lives for the candle. Let us promise that we will follow the wisdom of the Prophets and will set the standards by first acting on them sincerely. We will introduce humanity to the Spiritual wisdom without making it a business so that we become true friends of God.

    Spirituality

    Spirituality is having, in addition of worldly and scientific knowledge, a desire for Spiritual growth and mystical knowledge.

    Treating Others

    Every single member of humanity whether male or female, big or small, young or old is brother and sister. Superiority is only for the one who is aware of the endless oceans of Spirituality within Soul, has good manners, serves humanity, and never hurts anyone in anyway or form.

    Understanding

    Never try to prove your Order superior to any other Sufi Orders, as all Sufi Orders are simply different ways of reaching the same destination. Understand your nocturnal life is as important as our diurnal life. We spend half of our lives in the nocturnal form (dreams, sub-conscious etc.).

    Vastness of the Universe

  • One Book (kitab al mobeen) - Open and clearly manifested.

  • The Book contains three hundred million Preserved chapters therein.

  • Each Preserved chapter consists of eighty thousand Galaxies.

  • Each Galaxy has more than one hundred billion permanent inhabitants and settled systems and 1.2 trillion unstable systems.

  • Each system is composed of a Sun (star) and its related planets; averaging 9.12 or 13 planets per solar system

    • Waste

    Whether it is good or bad do not whine. Whatever you have done, or whatever has past, try to forget it. You are given only a few breaths don't waste them.
