Cleopatra and Ramadan


The Sufis see it differently, this might be a bit advanced for many and it might also be exactly what many believe. the Sufis think of their bodies as a container of God's light and in every way they try not to follow their desires in order to stay as pure and as light as they can.

the more they follow bodily wants and egoistic desires the farther they get from the path of light.
 
The Sufi is a lover of God and he or she does not follow orders out of fear, the Sufi is in a love relation with her or his creator, so pleasing God is an act of love.

The Sufi is not rigid, the Sufi is the mystic of Islam and most  religions have mystics.
Those who hold on to religion for the spiritual realm not the dos and donts

the Sufi is in an ever lasting passionate relation with the Divine and no one comes between them.

the Sufi doesn't worship God out of fear of the flaming hell, or in desire of his heavens, but only for a burning desire of union with God. Meeting God and going back to him like a drop of water that comes back to the endless ocean.

The Sufis sing to God and the prophet, the sufis whirl and dance to the light.

For the Sufi the Biggest hell is not to be thrown in the hell fire but that at the moment of death, which is when the body separates from from the spirit it is not an easy procedure, with every bodily desire with every egoistic desire a nail ties the body to the spirit, making it a painful thing to die.


Knowing that the body is only a container, a sufi tries always to defy the instinctive bodily wants. trying to stop the egos calls as much as possible.


the body is like the spirits spoiled child, the body wants to drink, the body wants to finish the chocolate cake, the body wants to kiss that stranger, however the mind and spirit hold it back. 

the more the body is like a horse and the spirit is like a skilled rider the more the spirit glows and the lighter u become, since u do not relate to your egos wants.

It might have been a long time since u have connected to the divine, however what u do not know is that when u stared i awe at that great mountain, when u looked at the color of the sky u have been praying and the eyes that notices beauty is the best worshiper.

Anyone can be a sufi, all u need is to fast out of love to make sure u still have the power over ur body.

someone loves u gave u everything he can give and asked u for one thing to show ur love back , and u chose the edible?

Why is it that in this life we want the best, the first class, however in the after we can settle with just the lowest heaven.

Personally I think it is a huge turn off to have a 100 percent practical person around, one who has no ambition in the spiritual realm.

You can be as open minded as u are and still work a bit on your glowing light inside, u can be as generous as u are with your money, but stingy when it comes to giving from ur bodily wants.

No judging please 
The sufis do not judge

It is just that i feel selfish when i know im getting all these benefits in my spirit and so many people are not


I'm no preacher, my dress code does not allow me to be.
I'm just a sufi lover shedding some light on the possibility of being who you are but trying just a little bit to polish ur heart from all the bodily wants.





Ramadan for beginners:

Ramadan Kareem

If u have no idea what that means, it means: may the holy month of ramadan be kind to you. Ramadan is the month that the prophet Mohamed may peace be upon him received the Quran from the Angel Gebriel. The first word was IQRA which means read.
 
Ramadan is a month that muslims are supposed to fast for thirty days from sun rise to sun set.
and during that holy month any good deed is worth more and any bad deed is worth more.

On the social level families come together and eat together, people stay up late to eat right before the sun rises. People in general tend to be more generous. Big huge tables fill the streets of Cairo with food offerings set for strangers who are in need waiting for them to eat at sunset.

The rich become very in touch wit the poor. and people read more Quran, people try to catch up with their lost spiritual level and on a certain night that is only guessed by scholars but most people think it id the twenty seventh nigh prayers are said to be more rewarded and personally i think of the magical night that wishes come true. God's mercy fills the skies and the earth on this night that is better than a thousand nights.
