The link of low res doesn't seem to work. Please fix it

I'm having a similar problem, the link on the site is to 1.0

If the torrent of bad news emanating from the Muslim world for the past few years, especially the challenges to Sunni Islam sprouting almost on a daily basis, has thrown you in the blues, and you, like me, are wondering, "what the heck is going on??" - here's a small personal prescription: read Alahazrat.

Tired of the status quo, the monotony? Wish to inflame your soul? Wish to set fire to the cobwebs pulling you down?

Go ahead. Read Alahazrat.

If you wish to regale in the death of insecurity and uncertainty - by a thousand cuts - and glide in the skies of yaqeen and tawakkul, transport yourself right into the eye of a powerful tornado of Imaan, don't lose another moment - read Alahazrat.

Then let death come, we can waltz our way to heaven.

A good commentary with references would be good.

there is a small update. site is under maintenance but the links will work.

reflections on celebrations [abu Hasan]

---
new-year days, birthdays and anniversaries...milestones on a path that leads to a deep and rotting pit or a beautiful garden.

-----------------

i can see the joy
and hastening fervent
of those, who go
home triumphant

a warrior, valiant -
returning from the front
a diligent student,
with accomplishment,

and a lover ardent
for a welcome fragrant
a thriving merchant
with his fortune present

but does it warrant
to rejoice frequent,
for those errant -
whose failure patent?

a student, truant,
and a fleeing tyrant
insolvent vagrant
or a lover peccant?

-----
yet, we celebrate our birthdays and have parties on new year's day. for what? for wasting another year? with the knowledge that we inch towards our graves which shall be a garden of comfort for those who strive, and a pit of darkness for those who spend their lives in heedlessness, ghaflah. truly, we have...

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

I came across this. So thought to share it ان شاء الله

Where can I find this? and how many, a footnote should be added for this, and perhaps all of them listed in the appendix. This will refute the Deobandi claims by liars and detractors that Alahazrat had no teachers other than his father

Can someone please post the duration (number of years) Alahazrat stayed in Makkah and Madinah.

Second Edition Released

This is the mawlid compiled by shaykh zaynuddeen sagheer al-ma'bari*, the great shafi'i scholar from kerala.

It has identical or similar narrations and given the shaykh's erudition it can safely be presumed that they are not mawdu' even if they might not meet the standards of the saHiHayn. A keralite shafi'i scholar confirmed this and also told me that the work is based on a similar one written by hujjat-ul-Islam, Imam al ghazzali (raHimahullah).

alHamdulillah, it has the same sunni aqaid which are also taught by our urdu speaking scholars from north India.

Some parts of the recitation are accompanied by the daff, which, in my opinion, is distracting and should have been avoided. However, this is the best one I...

if that praise of that part and having fun makes them stronger Sunnis and saves them from the wolves, then i'm all for it. remember, correct manhaj of the Ahlus Sunnah comes before spiritual mujahada and that is in fact the number one wasiyya of Ala Hazrat, as it is of all Ahlus Sunnah before and after him

Will this be published inshaAllah?
