Secrets of Heavenly Food, the follow-up to Hajjah Naziha's Heavenly
Foods, contains over 150 recipes from a broad range of locales.
Ranging from Cyprus, Lebanon, the Indian-subcontinent to Southeast
Asia and even the US, these invariably delicious recipes range in
difficulty from simple to involved. With step-by-step instructions
and pictures it is possible for even a novice to successfully
prepare the most complex dishes in this book. Introductions by the
author's father, Shaykh Nazim, her husband Shaykh Hisham, and
herself, expound upon the connection between food and spirituality.
The heart of this book is the legacy it carries from Hajjah Amina,
the author's mother, a scholar and a refugee from Russia. During
the advent of communism, Hajjah Amina's family fled their native
homeland of Kazan, Russia, in order to preserve their right to
observe their religious faith. They sacrificed home, country, and
language for the sake of their spirituality. Herein are the recipes
which Hajjah Naziha has passed down from her blessed mother, Hajjah
Amina. A number of recipes are exceedingly rare, and cannot be
found in other sources, including the Small Meat-Filled Dumplings
in Savory Tomato Broth (Peel Meen), Rose Pastries (Gul), and Golden
Fingertip Pastries (Borsok). The Gul and Borsok were famously
prepared by Hajjah Amina in celebration of both Eids and Mawlid
an-Nabi. Hajjah Amina brought these recipes from her native country
and passed them down to her daughter, Hajjah Naziha, who in turn
passed them down to her own daughter, Sajeda. Through this work,
Hajjah Naziha generously passes down these recipes to her
"daughters" in tariqah, the female students who come to learn on
the Sufi path."

"The Dome of Provisions" refers to a sacred place under God's
Throne that is only accessible by His chosen ones. It is the main
source of heavenly secrets and blessings sent to the hearts of
people. This collection of spiritual discourses is based on ancient
teachings of famous Sufi masters of the Naqshbandi Golden Chain, to
whom the author is directly connected. Lessons outline the
mind-body-spirit connection and inspire readers to "Maqam
al-Ihsan," the Station of Moral Excellence, in which one surrenders
the ego and personal desires to Divine Will. Memorable accounts of
previous masters and their disciples, the struggles they faced and
the lofty heights they reached rounds out this work. Basic
knowledge of Sufi principles is recommended.
The Lord Almighty, in His kindness, compassion and mercy, may give
everyone billions, but He knows well that human beings are never
going to be in pleasure when they are given without limits.
Therefore, God gives, according to His wisdoms, a little little
bit. But man is running to reach more and more, saying, "It is not
enough " Humankind living on this planet are asking for pleasure in
their lives, and mostly now people are looking and seeing that
pleasure is through riches. They think that if they get richer,
there is going to be more pleasure for them, and that is wrong.
Their egos are like a thirsty person, thirsty for physical and
material desires. They are running to the ocean to take away their
thirst but no matter how much salty water they drink, they become
even more thirsty. But when a thirsty person drinks once cup of
pure, plain water, that cup is enough to take his thirst away. Our
physical being is only for a short time, a very short time, and its
perfection is only for keeping our souls in, but it is not a
perpetual being. Yesterday we were nothing. Tomorrow we are going
to be nothing. Between two nothings, how are we going to claim "I
am here"? Our physical being is going to be dust. But the
perfection of our spiritual being, that is something else. If you
reach that perfection, you are most fortunate. Those who took care
of their spiritual perfection, should be happy with a new
beginning, with a new structure, with a new being. They should
reach unknown places that they only heard about before, and their
perfection should continue in the afterlife also. Therefore, the
Lord sent, from His Divine Presence, from Heavens, chosen servants
adorned with that secret power to arrange the lives of people on
earth for reaching their ultimate perfection. Therefore those who
are asking for pleasure in their hearts, they understand that they
will find it only in the Divine Presence, and the way to the Divine
Presence passes through Divine messengers, those who are on the way
of God. If you listen to someone whose speech gives your heart,
satisfaction, taking darkness away from your heart and your mind,
and cleaning your intellect, you can understand that his level is
high. If you find such a one hold onto his hand until he takes you
to your final destination in the Divine Presence.
Angels take any form they wish in the physical world. As crystal
water takes the form of the cup in which it is poured, angels can
take the form of any creation which they visit. They do not retain
their full original form of light when they are sent to human
beings: "Say: If there were in the earth angels walking secure, We
had sent down for them from heaven an angel without change] as
messenger" (17:95). Angels can come as birds, as human beings, or
as a form of light like a rainbow adorning the sky. They have a
mind and a heart, but no will and no desire other than to serve and
obey God. They are never too proud to obey Him. Angels worship day
and night without fatigue. They do not need to sleep, as their eyes
never tire. They know no heedlessness. Their attention never
wavers. Their food is glorification of God, their drink is to
sanctify and to magnify Him. Their intimacy is in calling their
Lord through hymning and singing His praise. Their enjoyment is to
serve Him. They are devoid of any and all physiological restraints.
They suffer no mood-changes. Angels inhabit Paradise and the seven
heavens. They worship more than human beings because they came
before them and they have greater and more powerful faculties than
they. They are more pious than human beings because they are
innocent and unable to fall into mistakes or wrongdoings. They
never ask forgiveness for themselves but always for human beings.
This shows us how much they care for us and to what extent God
created them to look after us. God made them our guardians because
a guardian is more perfect than the one he guards. Angels are more
knowledgeable than human beings. The teacher, again, is better than
the student. Their knowledge is of two kinds: intellectual and
traditional. "Intellectual" means here: "of the essence of reality"
or "of the heart." "Traditional" means: "revealed and translated
down from above."
