Sufi Comics: Where does Wisdom come from?
This is the 40th Sufi Comic, Alhamdulliah! :) I didn’t think I’d reach this number when I started Sufi Comics. Thank you all for your encouragement and feedback! You guys made it possible to reach this milestone.
It’s been a learning experience since I drew the first comic. Inshallah we’ll be working on compiling all these comics into an e-book.

Sufi Comics: Where is God's Treasure?
I heard once that on the path to enlightenment, there comes a stage where the wayfarer realizes that all this time it was not he who was seeking God, but it was God seeking him! That’s so Beautiful!
The comic above is a Hadith from the Book Bihar ul Anwar. There are many such Hadith that can be found narrating the prayers & conversations with God with previous prophets, though several have not yet been translated to English.

When I read spiritual texts at times I come across passages where the “World” is condemened. It’s described as a place that tempts man to do evil acts. It makes me think if the World is an inherently evil place or does it mean to say something else. Perhaps what is evil is excessive materialism that takes us away from Godly values.
Imam Ali (‘a) clarifies this confusion when he sees a man condemning this world. In this comic I’ve been able to capture only an excerpt of the narration. The full narration can be read from Nahjul Balagah, which is a collection of his sermons & sayings.

Sufi Comics: How to pray to God
I often find it difficult to concentrate during prayers. The mind wanders about from one thought to another, and then I complain “why doesn’t God answer my prayers?”. Perhaps the problem is not with God not answering, but the way I’m asking.
During prayer, instead thinking that God is somewhere high up in the sky, we should pray by whispering softly to Him knowing that He is very close to us and loves to hear our Prayers.
