Introduction 

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem 

In The Name of Allah, The Entirely  

Merciful The Especially Merciful 

This is a book about How to solve all your never-ending problems- by the  

will of Allah. 

Text(Matn) 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

 Are you having never- ending problems? 

Done ruqya for years or decades unending? 

Made un-ending supplications? 

But still feel that life is getting  

harder? 

Basic Checklist to solve your seemingly impossible never-ending problems: 

1. Study, learn and sincerely perfect your 5 pillars of Islaam on an ongoing never-ending basis 

2. It is of high importance that you regularly study your creed/ ‘aqeedah…the creed of Prophet( Peace be upon Him) according to the Quran, the Sunnah and the understanding of the  

Sahaabah 

3. It is of high importance, that one endeavours to fulfil all their contracts…the highest being: laa ilaaha illallah Muhammadan Rasuulullah. One can not successfully implement their contracts until they seek knowledge of their religion and their worldly obligation, and learn the relation their religion directly has on their worldly obligations. 

Have clear  knowledge of what the contract completely entails and how you are required to execute it, in accordance to the Sharee’ah…This requires acquiring deep knowledge of your religion( Islaam), and knowledge of all your contracts, duties and obligations. Furthermore, you must learn how to implement your contracts within the bounds of Sharee’ah…without transgressing the boundaries of Allah 

4. One of the quickest way to get rid of seemingly- impossible barriers in your life, is to completely intend/ endeavour to give up Ribaa/ interest immediately…however small the transaction is…As Allah mentions in Surah Baqarah that it is a declaration of war with Allah and His  

Messenger( Peace be upon Him) 

5. Eat and only consume of the tayyibaat/ good… Allah says in the Quraan “Eat of the tayyibaat/ good…”.  

The tayyibaat/ good food is according to The Quran, authentic Sunnah, and understanding of the Sahaabah…not according to modern thinking, philosophies or solely modern research…unless it does not contradict the understanding of the  

Sacred texts 

For more detailed assistance in solving never-ending problems, endeavour to seek knowledge on a continuous never-ending basis…most importantly ask Allah for increase in knowledge always; from the way of Prophet Peace be upon Him: 

Rabbi zidnee ‘ilmaa 

My Rabb/ creator/ Sustainer…  

Increase me in knowledge 

Bonus Chapter 

Spiritual Levitation 1: The Other side of 

Abstemiousness 

1. Face your fears, and pray to Allah always 

2. You can never attain true success (i.e. in this world and the next life), until you worship Allah correctly and seek His assistance continuously/ continually 

3. If you choose a life of worshipping Allah in all that you do in your life, then( by His will), all that you desire will come to you submissively. 

4. Every time you feel like giving up, turn back to Allah( whole heartedly) 

5. Concentrate on bettering yourself. The general rule of thumb is that the better you are, the more those around you get affected positively. 

6. Keep on being patient, and never stop being patient, until your soul exists the collarbone. 

7. In patience, there is wisdom from  

Allah. He is showing you that He is  

The One that controls everything 

8. Modern day monks(and practitioners of abstemiousness) can sometimes be found in cities and towns. 

9. The more you practice  

Zuhd( Orthodox Islamic Abstemiousness), the more your heart lets go of the world. Then the more the world clings on to you( metaphorically speaking) 

FINAL PRAYER 

All Praises abundant and plentiful belong to Allah, and peace be upon his final Messenger Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, his family, his companions and all of those that follow them till the day of Judgement.

‘Uboodiyyah: Beyond Temporary Friendship 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

1. If you don’t let go to worldly love, you’ll never know which relationship is meant to be permanent, and which was meant to be temporary; for the good of yourself. 

Take the example of Prophet Ibrahim(upon him be peace and Salaam): 

The important thing( wa Allahu  

A’laam/ and Allah knows best) is that Allah wanted  

Ibrahim( ‘aleihimussalaatu wa salaam/ upon him be peace and Salaam) to sacrifice the love of his son from his own heart. 

Like the story of the 2 sons of Adam; Allah wanted to see who would part from the dunia/worldly life from their hearts( wa Allahu A’laam/ and Allah knows best), by giving their best possessions i.e. the crops 

Allah is Assamad(He is in need of noone/nothing, but all are in need of him). 

So the conclusion is that Allah wants us to go to Him with Qalbun Salim(a pure heart). 

May Allah allow us to live and die with Qalbun saliim(a pure heart) 

May Allah guide us all  

Ameen

Spiritual Levitation 2: The Other Side  

of Abstemiousness/ Zuhd 

All praises be to Allah and salutations and peace be upon the  

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

1. Never let go of your( correct) religious principles 

2. The enemies surrounding you( i.e.Shaitan/ satan and dunia/ the seeming glitter of the world) (and within you, (i.e. your hawa/ desires and nafs/ your lower self) are always ready to launch attacks. Be vigilant(i.e. by supplicating to Allah always), be informed(i.e. seek knowledge) and be ready( for the ongoing spiritual battle/ warfare) and on guard( by beseeching Allah’s assistance, refuge and rescue) 

3. Sometimes you have to let go of certain things, for a new chapter if your life to begin 

4. Whatever is with Allah( by His protection)/ Everything that is with  

Allah( by His protection) is never lost 

5. It is at that breaking point, when you literally( and metaphorically) feel that you are fast-approaching rock bottom( or anguish is about to set in); that is the time to supplicate for all the good that you wish for. Then wait for the miracles that shall follow( only by the will of Allah) 

6. Always ask for Allah’s bounties/ favours upon you( , whether you hear the cockerel crow or not) 

Bonus Chapter 4

Prophet Muhammad, His Family, His Companions and all those that follow him until the day of Judgement 

To proceed 

4 Parts to the Qadar( Pre- destiny of

2. Al Kitaabah( The writing)

will of Allah.

Bonus Chapter 5 

Knowing Allah Part 2 

The Names of Allah have influence in the hearts that know of Him. 

The state of shyness of Allah will increase. 

When  a person sins, his heart is free of imaan at that time. 

Ibn ‘Abbaas: Like this( imaan is taken away) he meshed his hands together then separated them, then he said; when he repents, his imaan returns, ( then he meshed his hands together again) 

Maa lakum  laa tarjuuna lillahi wa qaara; What is the matter with you that you don’t return back to Allah( and don’t give Him the proper estimation) 

Those who sin against Allah( don’t believe in Allah properly) don’t have the proper estimation of Allah. 

Chapter 39 Verse 36 

Is not Allah sufficient for His slaves. They try to frighten you with those they worship besides Allah. 

If a slave gives Allah the proper estimation, he will have awe/ fear, which will keep him away from sin. 

Remembrance( of Allah), is obedience to Allah. 

The one who is obedient to  

Allah, remembers Him( dhikrullah) 

The one who is disobedient to  

Allah, is not remembering  

Him( dhikrullah) 

Sa’iid Ibn Jubair: Whoever obeys Allah has remembered him. 

Dhikr is of 2 types:  

Remembering Allah with the tongue, and remembering Allah at times of disobedience( and refraining from it) 

Knowledge of Allah lends the believer to strive in worship of Allah. 

Chapter 51 Verse 17- 18 

They used to sleep little by night, invoking Allah, and in the hours of the night, they used to seek forgiveness. 

Ignorance( greatest form)- not giving Allah the just/ proper estimate. 

Quran: Whoever honours the sacred things with Allah, that is better for him with his Lord. 

Surah Nisaa: 

Ignorance stems from improper knowledge of Allah, which leads to improper estimation of Him. 

From Quran: 

Ignorance and foolishness; Allah only accepts repentance from the one who commits sins out of these 2. 

A slave only commits sin out of ignorance( This was the understanding of the Sahaabah) 

Ibn Taymeeyah said: 

Every disobedient person is ignorant, and every person  with awe/ fear ( of Allah) has knowledge of Allah and is in obedience of Him. 

Had the fear of Allah been perfected, you wouldn’t disobey Him. 

Bonus Chapter 6 

The more you know Allah, the more you fear Him, Quran, Chapter 35  

Verse 28. 

It is only the ‘Ulamaa that fear Allah. 

The most knowledgeable of Allah was the Prophet (Peace Be Upon  

Him) 

The Slave feels his small sin as a mountain. 

The Sahaabah feared Allah the most( after the Prophets) 

Muubiqaat- destructive sins. 

Don’t look to the smallness of your sins, look to the Greatness of The One you are disobeying. 

If Satan/ Shaitaan cannot get a person to sin, he will try to get him through riyaa/ show off and pride. 

Imaam Ahmed on his death bed said 

“Laa ba’d( not yet)…”. He said “( the 

Shaitaan) Iblees stood by my feet biting his fingers saying futtanee; you were saved from me, ( he wanted Ahmed to feel proud)“ 

Ahmed said: 

Not yet, not yet, not until I die. 

One of the fruits of true Imaan, is that at death, Allah will make a believer firm against Satan 

Firm saying, in this world, is saying the kalimah( statement of Tawheed) at death and being able to answer the 3 questions in the grave. 

One of the salaf( Abu Bakr) said all the names of Allah until he died( not  

Abu Bakr Siddique) 

Baqarah 2: 132- 133 

“Die not except in Islam( with the statement of Tawheed)” 

The most fruitful end is to die in  

Islaam 

Bonus Chapter 7 

Husna- the best, most perfect & most beautiful 

In 4 places, Allah mentions that His  

Names are Al Husnaa 

Surah A-raaf Chapter 7, Verse 180 

Surah Israa Chapter 17, Verse 110 

Surah Taha, Chapter 20 Verse 8 

Surah Hashr Verse 24 

Husnaa 

1. All Allah’s names indicate and affirm His perfect attributes, they are names as well as attributes. 

Allah is glorified above having names without meaning. 

Allah’s name is Al Qawii- it implies that He is The Most Strong, neither preceded by weakness or ending. 

Al Hayy; Perfect living not preceded by non-existence nor ending. His name Al Hayy implies his knowledge… 

Al ‘Aliim 

The knowledge is not preceded by ignorance nor is it ended by forgetfulness
