Re-inventing Zendra: Quran Recitation Juzu'28 Surah Al Mujadilah

From Gukita on Nafsul Muttma innah

We will never know when we have achieve that status, otherwise it is Ria' and that is opposite to the maqam. However you can FEEL that when you are tested, however you are tested, how great is the test, if your inner peace is not disturbed and you remain calm and forever in COMPLETE FAITH to Allah, forever expecting His Mercy, his Redha, you are almost there.

The reality is that it a lofty target but very rare reachable except to those favored by Him. However our role is not the outcome, but the EFFORT.

I have come across a person who was tested with mishap after mishap, each mishap bringing him closer to Allah. That person is just a normal man leading normal life, on top with internet and all the modern tools of technology. Each test pushed him nearer and nearer the brickwall till he has no where to go except putting all his faith in Allah, refusing to blame anybody and just accepting the trial and put complete acceptance to Allah. When he reached that state of resolve help come from unsuspecting area and he managed to overcome the trial and with it an inner contentment never known before.

He realised then that when he prays to Allah, his prayer is answered. Rain even stop short of his construction site, when it is raging just outside the site. (This is another form of trial). Fearing 'ujub he prays harder. He only shares his experience to me whom he believe could understand this and keep to myself. That is what he said..

Zendra,
You have to judge for yourself whether your heart is in that state of unshakeable contentment.

According to a book on Waliullah, there is 7 maqam from the base maqam of Bahimiyyah (animal nafs) to 7th State of Insanul Kamil which is the maqam of the prophets. The Nafsul Mutmainnah falls on the 4th maqam.

Wallaahuaklam..
