FROM THE SPIRITUAL TREE

Spirit of Islam, December 2016, p. 22

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is named as the default author of the periodical; a piece that carries another writer’s byline is credited to that writer.

That is why such great importance is attached to contemplation in the Hadith. According to one Hadith, “There is no worship like contemplation.” Contemplation means deep thinking, a process which takes place in the mind—the source of all our actions. The more a human being ponders, the more profound will be the meaning discovered by him. And it is a self-evident truth that the more regularly and sincerely one gives thanks, the greater will be the satisfaction derived from this act. God’s limitless blessings are discovered through cogitation and with this discovery flows the stream of thanksgiving within man. It would be correct to say that the more extensive the discovery, the more intensified will be his thanksgiving. It is contemplation that leads man to discovery and constant discovery leads man to more and more elevated levels of thanksgiving. o BOOKS Read online or download literature by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan in 11 languages! 4cpsglobal.org/books ARTICLES Read Maulana’s writings as he expounds on the spiritual wisdom of the religion of Islam. 4cpsglobal.org/articles QURAN Read online and download the Quran and its commentary in Arabic, English, Urdu and Hindi. 4cpsglobal.org/quran VIDEOS Watch Maulana Wahiduddin Khan deal with the pressing issues of our times. 4cpsglobal.org/videos PODCASTS Listen to the audio of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan’s books and lectures. 4cpsglobal.org/podcasts MAGAZINES Boost your spiritual health every month with our English and Urdu Magazines. 4cpsglobal.org/magazines CPS International w w w . c p s g l o b a l . o r g NEW
