* The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library * Spiritual Book 07 - "Golden Words" - On-lineTable of Contents
Material from the book, "The Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", by His Holiness, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyadddeen (may God be pleased with Him)
Welcome to the on-line "Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Library", and the on-line "Table of Contents" for an on-line version of some parts of the beautiful book of wisdom by His Holiness, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him), a book which has the official title of, "Golden Words of a Sufi Shaikh", but which we all affectionately refer to as "Golden Words", with its amazing set of "Introductory Discourses" by His Holiness and the wonderful "958 Golden Word Sayings" also given to us in this book by His Holiness. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar.
A book which His Holiness told us would lead us to enlightenment if we simply read it over, and over, and over again, always trying at each reading to sit at His divine feet within us, reading it with Him within us, and with God within Him within us, in this way, truly become an "Abd" or "Slave of God" for our age, both a slave of God within us, and a slave of His Children, of the Children of God for this age on the "outside" of us.
In this way, reading it with our Iman, with our absolute faith, certitude, and determination in God within us, that in truth this is the "Gift of God" for our age, both within us and on the "outside" of us, always trying to see what lies within each "Word of God" for our age, through His eyes, through the eyes of God within us, through the 99 powers or wilayats or attributes of God within us, which in truth is the wisdom of our Shaikh within us, and the truth of God within Him, which in truth is our "direct connection" to God within us, that is, to God within our Shaikh within us. Amen.
For as His Holiness teaches us in the beautiful book of wisdom for our age, on page 142 in the original publication of that book, of the book, "Islam and World Peace: Explanations of a Sufi", where His Holiness within us, and God within Him, teach us the following for our age:
"To accept Allah's words and commands is wisdom, To accept what He has given us is our plenitude."
(Note: this quotation is in the "Epilogue" to that book, which provides us with a beautiful short explanation of the "True Meaning of Islam" for our age, a book which we can read for free, that is, without any cost, read it in its entirety on-line, by clicking on the follow: Islam and World Peace (www.bmf.org/iswp)

My dearest loving brother and sisters, my love you (anbu). Please keep in mind that all of the above is currently "In Process".
So if you like, through the grace and mercy and compassion of God, please read what we have, and then please come back later, if you like, to check on the progress of this effort, and if you like, share in the wealth of God for our age, in the "Gift of God" for our age, in the life and teaching of God for our age, known as the life and teaching of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and of His Children (may God be pleased with Him, and with each of Us). Amen.
And if you like, please pray to God for all of us that this project become successful, in our own lifetime, and if you like, please join us at the feet our Guru, of our Shaikh, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be please with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, as They within us squeeze us, as the Angel Gabriel (peace be upon Him) squeezed our beloved Prophet Muhammad (blessing and peace be upon Him) in the cave, telling Him the following three times, allowing us too to truly move forward in our life time, in our cave: Amen.
"In the name of God, who creaed man as a sensitive drop of blood and teaches him what he does not know, Read". Amen.
And also, if you like, join us each day, as often as possible, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, in the following little prayer that was given to us by Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) in 1972, a prayer that Bawa told a brother from California, to whoim He had just given the name, Shaikh Hamid, to say each day,
"Oh my Father, my Shaikh, my Guru, please, please destroy me."
A prayer which this child has been saying in partnership with God within us, for the last 30 years, that is, for our age, in partnership with our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and with God within Him, and in partnership with the Children of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with ch of Us) on the "outside" of us, for the last 30 years.
A prayer which has gradually grown in the heart of this child, which in truth is the One Open Heart of God for our age, of our Father, Shaikh Muhammnad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" of us, which in truth is our form, has grown into the following Prayer of Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) for our age, for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us), which in truth is each of us living in this age, if we like, if we only truly want it.
That is, if the true intention for our life is to again become "One with" God within us, before we die to the flesh, before we die to the "outside" of us, but this time with an understanding of our "Oneness", so it will never leave us again. Amen.
The Prayer of "Shaikh Muhaiyaddeen (Ral)" - for the age of Bawa Muhaiyaddeen and of His Children (Ral.)
"Oh our Father, our Shaikh, our Guru, we need Your love, please, please, please destroy us and reveal You."
"Please destroy us as "separate from" You and You as "separate from" us, and reveal us as "One with" You and You as "One with" us.
"Please destroy the life of "separation and differences" that You have given us, the life of arrogance, karma, and illusion, the life of desire for earth, women, and God, the life of body, trick, and danger (see Chapter 20 in "Pearl of Wisdom"), the evil actions of kalam (or time) that lead us to Kalan (the Angel of Death A.S.), that lead us to the "suffering of the grave", to Qiyamah (the Standing Forth; the Day of Judgment), to 105 million rebirth, with us potentially ending as a worm in hell with only one level of consciousness, or feeling, in this way, being given and eternal life of "separation from" as our reward".
"And instead, reveal the life of "Oneness and Unity", of "Justice and Truth", of "Compassion and Unity" that You have also given us, a life of grace, wisdom, and 'ilm or divine knowledge, bringing us to completion, finding completion within your grace, finding wisdom within your completion, finding truth within your wisdom, finding "You" as the "Oneness of God and True Man" within your truth, within your wisdom, within your completion, within your grace."
"Amen, Amen, Ya Rabil Alameen (So be it, So be it, Oh Ruler of the 18,000 Universes) Amen, Amen, Ya Rahman Alameen. (So be it, So be it, Oh Most Merciful One) Amen, Amen, Ya Rahim Alameen. (So be it, So be it, Oh Most Compassionate One) Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar." (All praise and praising belong to God and to God alone, Only God is Great) (Note: to learn more about the growth of this prayer within the heart of this child, living at the feet of God for our age, at the feet of our Father, Shaikh Muhammad Rahim Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (may God be pleased with Him) within us, and of God within Him, and of His Children (may God be pleased with each of Us) on the "outside" us, which in truth is our form, and more about the original source of this prayer, please click on the following: Thank you. Al-hamdu lillah. Allahu Akbar. Amen)
