Imaginary Muslims

Muhammad

In the Name of Allah.

It is said in the Sirah of Ibn Kathir Ad-Damishiqi (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah (Glory be to the One Most High) granted Sayyidina Sulayman (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Prophethood and Kingship. He offered the same to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) but he chose servitude with Prophethood. Muhammad said, "Allah would have turned the mountains into Gold for me but I prefer to stay hungry one day and satiated the other." He preferred to be humble and pleading when hungry and grateful when satiated. Thus it is recorded in the Sirah of ibn Kathir.

The tomb of Najm al-Din Kubra in Konya Urgench in Turkmenistan
 

Known as the "saint-producing shaykh" (shaykh-e vali tarash) on the grounds that a number of his pupils became highly regarded shaykhs themselves. Kubra is considered the founder of the Kubrawiya order (tariqa). One of the branches of this tariqa, the Nurbakhshi Kubrawi lineage, embraced Shi'a Islam and is named after Muhammad Nurbakhsh. The largest existing branch of the Kubrawiya order today is the Shi'i Oveyssi-Shahmaghsoudi order.

Human Culture as Personal Culture

Hazrat Inayat Khan (2005) The Art of Being and Becoming (New York: Omega)
 

Praise is due to Allah whose worth cannot be described by speakers, whose bounties cannot be counted by calculators and whose claim (to obedience) cannot be satisfied by those who attempt to do so, whom the height of intellectual courage cannot appreciate, and the divings of understanding cannot reach; He for whose description no limit has been laid down, no eulogy exists, no time is ordained and no duration is fixed. He brought forth creation through His Omnipotence, dispersed winds through His Compassion, and made firm the shaking earth with rocks.
