You may have heard it said that ”God can be found by searching for him”.

After hearing a little of the life and search of Hazrat Syed Malik Mohammed Alam, known as Gudri Shah Baba I, you will be reassured that for a human being nothing is impossible.

In his search for God, Sufi Saint Hazrat Syed Malik Mohammed Alam (who was born in 1207 AH. 1788 AD. in Shahpura, Punjab; now Pakistan) spent sixty years of his life, bare footed, in the jungles of India, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and Arabia.

Do not let this time slip away from you – 2nd Friday Ramadan 1441

Posted on May 1, 2020 by Imam Salim Chishti

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم

Today I remind myself and I remind you not to let this time slip through your fingers.

It is like carrying water in your hands. When you fill your cupped hands there is plenty, but as you walk the water seeps through your fingers or splashes out of your hands and before you know it, it is gone.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

My dear brothers and sisters. This week we entered the month of Sha’ban, alhamdul’illah. It is a great gift that Allah (swt) has allowed us to again come to this time of the year. And soon, insha’allah we will enter the most blessed month of Ramadan.
