History

Adil, Hajjah Amina

World

Islamic Supreme Council of America

The Light of Muhammad (s) is a children's version of Hajjah Amina Adil's six hundred page volume, The Life of Muhammad (s), which she compiled from Ottoman and Arabic sources. This was the last project of her long and productive life. It is the culmination of a life spent in the service and contemplation of God and His Prophet (s). Although there are many books on the life of the Prophet (s), this one is unique, because it focuses on the spiritual and cosmic nature of our great Prophet (s). Here simplified, it provides a perfect choice for children for whom the magical and wondrous are still a part of everyday life. Its aim is to nourish love for the blessed Prophet (s) in the hearts of all children everywhere. About the Author The late Hajjah Amina Adil, may God grant her peace, was called by all who know her, Hajjah Anne, mother. She was wife of the Grand Shaykh of the Naqshbandi Sufi Order, Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil for over fifty years. In addition to her own four children, sixteen grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren, she raised and nurtured with love and wisdom the thousands of students and visitors who descend yearly upon the humble house of the Shaykh in Cyprus.

In a narration of Imam Ahmad, Abu Dharr asked Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets?" He replied, "120,000 and between their number are 315 messengers." The Holy Quran mentions twenty-five of these messengers, namely: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zacharia, John (the Baptist), Idris (Enoch), Jonah, Hud, Shu`ayb, Salih, Lot, Ilyas, Ilya`sa, Dhu 'l-Kifl, Jesus and Sayyidina Muhammad, peace be upon them all. These are the messengers of God who came with holy books containing the Divine Message. The others are prophets who received divine revelation but who were not ordered to deliver it to anyone; it was for them. By way of example, all of Jacob's sons were prophets, but Joseph was the only messenger from among them. Laboriously compiled from rare manuscripts, traditional Islamic texts, and other printed source material, including ahadith and athar and the many traditional books of history, and painstakingly translated from Ottoman Turkish to English, Lore of Light depicts the perfected, blessed character and refined manners that God bestowed on His blessed prophets and messengers. This illustrious work examines the lives of the prophets and messengers of God in great detail, heretofore unknown in English literature on their lives. It depicts the great lengths to which these holy figures went - at times losing life, suffering humiliation, torment and abuse from those who opposed them, often leaving their homes, always tolerant of their attackers and seeking peace - to guide the many peoples and nations of the world towards the light which God has sent throughout time for humankind's betterment and upliftment.

My Little Lore of Light

Naqshbandi-Haqqani Sufi Order of America

Die kleine Ausgabe der Gaben des Lichts ist eine für Kinder gemachte Erzählung der drei Bände „Lore of Light" und „Muhammad The Messenger of Islam" von Hajjah Amina Adil. Es werden darin die Geschichten aus dem Leben der Propheten von Adam bis Muhammad nach traditionellen osmanischen Quellen erzählt. Sie sind in kindgerechter und gekürzter Sprache gehalten, ohne den ursprünglichen Inhalt zu verändern. Dieses Buch ist zum Vorlesen für kleinere Kinder oder zum Selbstlesen für große Kinder oder auch Jugendliche gedacht, um ihnen einen Einblick in das Leben der Propheten zu geben. Die Geschichten sollen die jungen Menschen die Liebe und den Respekt zu den Propheten nahe bringen, zum Nachdenken anregen und ein erstes Verständnis für die tiefen Weisheiten vermitteln, die diesen Geschichten zugrunde liegen. Hajjah Amina Adil, Allah schenke ihrer Seele Frieden, wurde im Alter von jedem, der sie kannte, liebevoll Hajjah Anne genannt, was Mutter bedeutet. Sie war über fünfzig Jahre lang die Frau des Großsheikhs des Sufiordens der Naqshbandiyya Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani. Zusätzlich zu ihren eigenen vier Kindern, sechszehn Enkelkindern und sechs Urenkelkindern vermittelte sie Liebe und Weisheit an tausende von Schülern und Gästen, die alljährlich zu Besuch in das bescheidene Haus des Shaykhs kamen. Ohne auch nur ein überflüssiges Wort zu sprechen, gab Hajjah Anne durch ihr alltägliches Beispiel den wahren Geist von Hingabe an Allah, den eine Gott, weiter. Sie diente Shaykh Nazim und seinen Gästen mit einer unermüdlichen Gastfreundschaft. Sie kochte Tag für Tag für jeden, der ihr Haus betrat und lehrte den Menschen dadurch mit Humor und Weisheit Respekt für jedes noch so kleine Geschenk Allahs. Durch ihre Wesensart, niemals etwas zu verschwenden oder wegzuwerfen, sondern jede Sache zu nutzen und wiederzuverwenden, und durch ihre eigene harte Arbeit vermittelte sie Geduld, Freundlichkeit, Ehre und Achtung vor allem. Als Gelehrte und Dienerin Allahs gab sie ihr großes Wissen über das Leben der Propheten und Freunde Gottes, durch ihr Vorbild und ihre ausführlichen Erzählungen an die nach-kommenden Generationen. Die Erzählungen über das Leben der Propheten von Hajjah Amina Adil wurden zuerst von Karima Sperling in englischer Sprache eigens für Kinder neu erzählt. Sie promovierte in dem Fach Anthropologie an der Stanford University in Kalifornien. Sie nahm vor mehr als dreißig Jahren den Islam an, als sie für drei Jahre als Feldforscherin im Grenzgebiet zwischen Libyen und Tschad arbeitete. Ihre eigenen fünf Kinder unterrichtete sie selbst und erzog sie nach den Werten des Islam. Der eigentliche Beweggrund für dieses Buch war aber die Zeit, die sie selbst mit Hajjah Anne gemeinsam mit ihren wunderbaren Kindern und ihren Schülern verbrachte. Die Übertragung der Prophetengeschichten ins Deutsche durch Latifa Hafiza A. Krämer kam auf mehrfache Anregung hin zustande. Latifa Krämer ist Gymnasiallehrerin und seit vielen Jahren mit der Frage nach guten islamischen Kinderbüchern beschäftigt. Sie konvertierte vor mehr als zehn Jahren zum Islam und besuchte seither regelmäßig das Haus von Hajjah Anne und Shaykh Nazim. Dort konnte sie an vielen Tagen den wundersamen und lehrreichen Erzählungen aus dem Leben der Propheten aus dem Munde und Herzen von Hajjah Anne selbst lauschen und von der tiefen spirituellen Dimension dieser Geschichten schmecken.

Meccan Openings: A Pilgrim's Guide to Divine Secrets is a sacred portal into the spiritual reality of Hajj, one of the foundational pillars of Islam. 
This journey is gleaned entirely from the teachings of contemporary living Muslim saints of the illustrious Naqshbandi Sufi order, including a blessed lady saint of this path, Hajjah Aminah Adil. 
This ground-breaking book takes the reader by the hand from the body and form of the rituals of pilgrimage to its haqiqa (reality) and origin, in the spiritual dominion and Divine Presence. 
This book is an ascension for those who have already fulfilled this rite of Islam, a solace to those who have not been able to perform their pilgrimage yet, and a nostalgic breeze for anyone longing to return to Allah's Sacred House, allowing all to journey spiritually to their inner Ka'bah and the celestial Bayt al-Ma'mur (Oft-Visited House). 
This, together with the abundance of pictures of saints and sacred sites as well as sacred quotes, make this book a much-needed preparation for our bodies to visit the Divine Abode on earth, in Makka the Honored, and then onwards to the blessed city of Madina, to receive the Madinan illuminations from the precious heart of the Best of Creation, our Master Muhammad, upon whom be peace.
