Pearls of Wisdom By Shaykh Abul-hudaa Al-Yaqoubi

“ Islam encourages love. Love is not empty, like how it is taken in the western world. Love is an inclination of the heart to what it naturally desires. Love is so cheap now in the western world. Love in Islam is Divine, it comes from Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.” — Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi “ Some people seek fame, others seek to be unknown and hidden. The best are those who seek Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala” —Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi “ If we asked what is the most circulating book any human being ever wrote on the face of the earth, what is the best seller in the Islamic world, a hundred years ago the answer wouldn’t be Sahih Bukhari because Sahih Bukhari is for the ‘ulema. The answer would be Dalail ul Khayrat.” — Shaykh Muhammad al Yaqoubi (hafidhahullah ta’ala) “ Wear old clothes when you visit poor people then you do not break their hearts by showing them things they cannot buy” — Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi (Hafidhullah) “Everything that hurts a believer is a calamity. Tests are like gold. You test gold in fire to test if it’s real, test it’s substance. That is the true nature of calamities- to test you. Allah knows your state before and after the test. Your test is for you to learn and others around you. Most of our actions are reactions- control your reaction.” (Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi) Don’t waste your tears on your broken relationship with someone you love, invest your tears to strengthen your relationship with Allāh ﷻ Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ Sing and repeat for me the name of my Beloved and let everyone in this universe throw their arrows at me… I don’t care, even if they hit my heart because nothing causes me any harm with the name of my Beloved.” — Prophetic Miracles - Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ When your heart becomes full of light it becomes transparent like a crystal.” —Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ Most of the causes of anger today is due to misunderstandings. Someone did something or said something and you thought they did it deliberately. Shaytan puts these thoughts in your mind. The first remedy for anger the Prophet (Sal Allahu Alayhi Wasalam) taught us was to seek refuge from Shaytan” — Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi “ I love Him whatever His Decree brings, My principle in love is being always pleased with Allah. Take this passion from me, soar and fly through space.” — From the poem “My Spiritual Journey”, by, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi. “ Maintaining our health is an act of worship and curing ourselves is an obligation and looking at what we eat is following the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (SalAllahuAlayhiwasalam)” — Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ Sufis do not make revolutions. They do not carry weapons or explosives. Sufis build civilisations…” — Shaykh Muhammad al-Ya’qoubi “ It’s an easy thing to claim, but difficult to prove because real love manifests itself in actions, not in words.” — Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ We defeated the world 1400 years ago not because of how strong we were, but because of how merciful we were…” — Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ Our words are divine gifts Our silence is merely a cover Our door is open for anyone Who is heading for this Quarter. Our tastes are delicacies. Our secrets are attributed to the Essence . Our moves when we shake. May wake the dead in this Quarter.” —Reality of His UnityShaykh Sayyid Muhammad Al-Yaqoubi “ We have four pillars of tassawuf – seclusion, staying up the night, hunger and silence. These are the pillars of suluk and wilayah.” — Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi “ The moment you give bay’ah to a Shaykh, your spiritual rizq is from the Shaykh and his tariqa” —Shaykh Muhammad Al Yaqoubi. Knowledge is in the heart’s of people, not in pages of books.
