Heart floating between Makkah and Madina

Allah (AJ) Does Not Reside in the Holy Ka’bah

From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ. Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem, Ya Habibul ‘Azeem, unzur halana wa ishfa’lana, ‘abidona bi madadikum wa nazarekum.

Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum. Always a reminder for myself, ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence.

أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُم… ﴿٥٩﴾‏ …

4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat an-Nisa)

“…Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)

Mirroring Reality of La Ilaha illAllah and Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ

Alhamdulillah, that the 11th month of Dhul Qi’dah opened and the beatific tajallis (manifestations) that Allah (AJ) granted for us to have a life in which to be dressed by these realities, to see and to witness the opening of this holy month. That a reminder from the heart of awliyaullah (saints) about the reality of the eleven, the reality of La ilaha illAllah reflecting into the heart of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ اللَّهُ ﷺ

“La ilaha illAllahu Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.”

“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah (pbuh).”

Divine Symbolism in Laam-Alif and the Numerical Depths of 92

What we covered last night…very, very deep [Shaykh laughs]. So very, very deep. So, inshaAllah, we go into any questions and answers from our discussions last night and see if people had any concerns and understandings. From the number where we started from, 92, and you write like a circle. Put 92 inside. That circle is the reality of 29. Then you put 29 at the top and inside that circle is eleven. That becomes the secret of that reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and the reality of laam-alif.

Why tariqahs (spiritual paths) are symbolic of laam-alif? The symbolism of laam-alif is that the laam comes behind the alif because La ilaha illAllah, no partner. Allah (AJ) allows the reality of the laam to attach from behind, but Allah (AJ), ‘I’m a hidden treasure wanting to be known, not that I will be known.’ So, as a result of, ‘I wanting to be known,’ the laam goes in front and the alif remains always a hidden treasure.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: “‏ كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]

Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.” [Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]

99.9% of Us Focus on Allah (AJ) and Forget Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Because of that, non-tariqah are very confused. Non-tariqah people, they have no idea what you’re talking about. They don’t see the importance of the laam and they think their whole life is to focus on the alif. This understanding of laam-alif is our entire secret of haqqaiqs (realities). As much as you pursue the alif, as much as you pursue Allah (AJ), trying to get to know Allah (AJ) – without the order, without the haqqaiq, without the muhabbat (love) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Allah (AJ) moves – doesn’t allow you to understand it.

So, as a result, they keep trying to move to that reality. That, ‘I only want to know about Allah (AJ). I only want to hear about Allah (AJ).’ They never reach to any reality. They teach always very superficial because they’re not able to reach. They go for hajj (pilgrimage). They spend their time in Makkah and they barely visit Madina and they left. 99.9% of people because this will be your collective body of religion. Like a lab, say, ‘How do we collectively know what Muslims believe? Do you speak on their behalf?’ No, astaghfirullah (seek forgiveness from Allah (AJ)). Nobody speaks on their behalf, but you can witness the collective whole on hajj or even their plan to go for umrah.

Performing Hajj Symbolizes Entrance into the Ocean of Tawheed

The collective mindset is: we go spend 15 days in Makkah and barely the hajj package wants one day, two days Madina, get out because they’re always after the alif. They pay no attention to the laam. They think it’s this [Shaykh shows two separate laams]. But what Allah (AJ) say, ‘I’m a hidden treasure wanting to be known’ so it can’t be that simple, that this alif is hidden somewhere. So, when we understand bi sirratul laam jalalah, there’s always this flipping happening [Shaykh shows the laam and alif].

So, Allah (AJ) call creation to Oneness. That’s represented by the Ka’bah, ‘Come to Ahad (The One & Only). Come to Oneness. Leave multiple gods. Leave all your desires. Leave all your characteristics. Come to the ocean of Oneness.’ That’s the symbolism of the holy Ka’bah is that you take off all your identity. You put your white fabric and you begin to make tawaf (circumambulation). The tawaf is the crushing. It’s the people coming from many, entering into the ocean of oneness and they’re moving like one ocean of white. That was only to come to tawheed (oneness) but that was not Maqamul Mahmood. That was not the realities that Allah (AJ) wanted for the nation.

Allah (AJ) Cannot Be Found in the Heavens or the Earth

This was the 99%. When we talk, you can’t talk, otherwise you can’t come. You can’t have your own discussions back there. We have to have them here [Shaykh talks to people talking in the back]. So, the reality of Makkah is the reality of that Oneness. That to make people to come to Oneness, but you didn’t get the treasure. You came to the understanding: leave the many and come to The One. Its haqqaiq (reality) then begins to teach that that servant of One, ‘I’m not on heavens and I’m not on the earth but I’m on the heart of My servant.’

“. عَنْ وَهَبِ بِنْ مُنَبِّهْ، قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: “‏ مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ وَلَا اَرْضِيْ، وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلْغَزَالِي فِي اَلْإحْيَاء، وَ اِبنِ عَرَبِي فِي اَلْتَرَاجِمْ، صفحه ٢٢٤]

‘An Wahab ibn Munabbeh, Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Maa wasi’anee laa samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdi al Mu’min.” [Hadith al Qudsi, Al Ghazali fi al Ihyaa, wa Ibn ‘Arabi fi al Tarajim, Safha 224]

Narrated by Wahab the son of Munabbeh that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said that Allah (AJ) said: “Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.” [Holy Hadith, by Imam al-Ghazali in Al Ihya, and by Ibn ‘Arabi in al Tarajib, Page 224]

The one whom represents the oneness of Makkah, the servant of Makkah, the one whom understood the tawaf (circumambulation), taught the tawaf, brought the Holy Qur’an is the hidden treasure of Allah (AJ). So, when you go to Makkah, you’re acknowledging the Oneness of Allah (AJ). You’re coming from the multiplicity into oneness and singularity. But when Allah (AJ) accepts your sincerity and your tawafs are accepted, your duas (supplications) and your prayers are accepted, Allah (AJ) begin to inspire within your heart, ‘I’m not here. I’m on the heart of My believer.’ Did you find His believer yet? It means then these are the Ahbab an Nabi ﷺ (Lovers of Prophet ﷺ).

Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Presence is in the Heart of the One True Believer

When they understood, they came to Oneness. They came to the disciplines of Islam and Allah (AJ) opened within their heart, ‘I am in the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If you want to find Me, go to Madina.’ When you enter into the holy precincts of Madinatul Munawwara (Luminous city of Prophet ﷺ), it’s the city of light because Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Presence on the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in Rauza e Sharif (holy burial chamber).

Allah (AJ) is not in the Ka’bah. The Ka’bah is what you built with your hands. That has a different reality of what’s there, but Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Presence is where? In the heart of His servant. His servant is holier than the stones. His servant is holier than the house, the ancient house. But this is an ancient soul. This is a soul in which is Manzil ul Qur’an (where the Holy Qur’an emanates), the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So, it means they don’t get it so they keep missing it. They keep separating the two and they go for where they want.

Follow Prophet ﷺ to Reach Allah’s (AJ) Love (Holy Qur’an, 3:31)

But the haqqaiq (reality) is the deciphering and a salik, the seeker, it never comes open like that. The seeker’s one whom seeks and seeks and through their seeking, they sit with the scholars of realities. They begin to be dressed by its understandings. They say, ‘Oh, now I understand what that hadith means. That when Allah (AJ) is giving this isharat (sign) is that: find My believer. Find the one whom I call My habib (beloved) and which I love. All creation is trying to get My love but I have attached My love to the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’

That becomes the reality of the 11, the reality of the Divinely mirror. That when we’re running towards the love of Allah (AJ), it’s Allah (AJ) that inspire us, “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni.” Direct yourself to Madina.

﴾قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ … ﴿٣١

3:31 – “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni, yuhbibkumullahu…” (Surat Ali ‘Imran)

“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you …” (Family of Imran, 3:31)

True Tawheed is Only Within Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

If you do it correctly and you do it with respect and you do it with ihtiram (respect), that’s why all this na’at sharif (prophetic praising) is about: I’m going to Madina. I’m standing at the qabr (grave). I’m doing with all my respect. I did all my mawlid (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ). I kept my salawat (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). I did all of this ihtiram so that Allah (AJ) would accept my entry into Madinatul Munawwara, into His Divinely presence.

This is the greatness and this is why we said that tariqah is the reality of tawheed. They got tawheed complete wrong. The reality of tawheed, the real La ilaha illAllah, is in the heart of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That’s the great reward of the turuqs (spiritual paths). The path is the path to Allah (AJ), path to the Lord of Power which “Laa hawla wa la quwwata illa…illa billa.”

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ اِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ

“Wa laa hawla wa la quwwata illa billahil ‘Aliyyil ‘Azheem.”

“And there is no Support/strength, nor power except by Allah, The Sublimely Exalted, The Magnificent.”

The Power of La Ilaha IllAllah Only Comes Through Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ

You can’t connect and grab power from Allah (AJ) because you’re saying La ilaha illAllah can give you power? Because He didn’t put your name on the kalimah (testimony), but “Laa hawla wa la quwwa” means there’s no help that can come to you and there’s no power that can come to you, but through where? It has to come from the reality of La ilaha illAllah that emanating from Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So, what the na’at sharif said? ‘When I heard… “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka yubayi’on Allah,” the Yadullah, as soon as I heard Allah (AJ) put His Hand on the hand, I understood the reality.’

﴾إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّـهَ يَدُ اللَّـهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ ﴿١٠

48:10 – “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka innama yubayi’on Allaha yadullahi fawqa aydeehim, …” (Surat Al-Fath)

“Indeed, those who give Bay’ah (pledge allegiance) to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually giving Bay’ah (pledge allegiance) to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands…” (The Victory, 48:10)

What is the na’at? The na’at says?

Audience recites: Nabi Ka Zikr Hi Khuda Ka Zikr Hai, Nabi Ka Haath Hi Khuda Ka Hath Hai.

نبی کا ذکر ہی خدا کا ذکر ہے، نبی کی بات ہی خدا کی بات ہے
یَدُ اللّٰہ کہہ دیا تو ثابت ہو گیا، نبی کا ہاتھ ہی خدا کا ہاتھ ہے

Nabi Ka Zikr Hi Khuda Ka Zikr Hai, Nabi Ki Baat Hi Khuda Ki Baat Hai
Yadullah Keh Dia To Sabit Ho Gia, Nabi Ka Haath Hi Khuda Ka Hath Hai

Remembrance of Prophet (pbuh) is remembrance of God, What Prophet (pbuh) say about
Divinity is what God really is. When we say ‘Yadullah’ (hand of Allah) so this is the proof, hand of Prophet (pbuh) is the Hand of God

Build Madina Within Your Heart and Home Through Heavenly Practices

‘The hand, I heard.’ It means it triggered the reality for that wali (saint). That Allah (AJ) giving these isharats (signs), ‘You want My Hand? Take the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ Where are you going to take the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ – in Makkah or Madina? In Madina. So, as soon as you come with adab (manners) into Madina and your life is always Madina, we’re not a people who go once. Then we do every forbidden thing years and ten years until we go to Madina again. Our life is that we entered Madina and we’re never going to leave Madina.

If you haven’t entered Madina, by watching these videos, watching these teachings, you’re becoming and making a Madina in your home. When you have the salawats, have the nasheeds (songs of praise), have all of these realities that are being taught. We said last night: you carry the dome of Madinatul Munawwara on your head with the ihtiram [Shaykh shows his turban]. It’s the highest honour that Allah (AJ) gave to us. So, that your whole character was, ‘Ya Rabbi, accept my entry into Madinatul Munawwara. That accept me into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that every difficulty to go away.’

Allah’s (AJ) Hand Isn’t On Our Hand Without Love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Why all these na’at sharif are talking about Mushkil Gusha (Remover of Difficulties)? That every difficulty goes away, why? Because you reach the hawla (support). Hawla is help. All their life, they look for help. Anywhere you go for help, how are you going to reach to help if you’re not with the one whom Allah (AJ), His Hand is on his hand? Allah’s (AJ) going to ask you, ‘Why should I put My Hand on your hand?’ You went only to Ka’bah and you say, “I’m coming here for hawla.”

Allah (AJ) say, ‘I don’t think I said in Qur’an that My Hand is on your hand. My Hand is on the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ (Holy Qur’an, 48:10) That Prophet’s ﷺ hand has to be upon your hand. At that time, Allah’s (AJ) Yadullah is moving onto your hand because Allah (AJ) wants everything in tawheed. Nothing in our deen (religion) is based on La ilaha illAllah. You can never cut out Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Qudra (power), if it want to come to you, how it could ever come without Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ? You took the imam (religious leader) of your life, moved it aside and Allah (AJ) going to send you something? It’s just a horrible adab to even think like that.

Prophet ﷺ is Muhyil Qulub, Reviver of Dead Hearts

That’s why it’s the reality of tawheed. Such a reality that those who think they’re Ahle Tawheed (People of Oneness), they actually have no understanding of tawheed because they took out the biggest part of that tawheed. What separates us from every other understanding and belief is La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. As a result, that is Allah’s (AJ) Hawla. Every help comes onto that hand because the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is there to resolve it because you’re holding the hand of your imam and your imam is supported by Allah (AJ), that’s all you need. Every difficulty will be resolved.

Every quwwah and power – this is the power source, the one whom his heart is emanating Holy Qur’an is the power of Allah (AJ) because yet we don’t understand what Qur’an is, Allah say (AJ) ‘If the book that can revive the dead, it’s here.’ So, oh, oh, now means what? Let’s translate like science class, ‘The Qur’an in heart of Prophet ﷺ. Qur’an can revive the dead. So, it means the heart of Prophet ﷺ can revive the dead.’ Muhyil qulub (reviver of hearts) because Qur’an is emanating from his heart ﷺ. Everything in this creation is governed by the holy speech of Allah (AJ). The Holy Qur’an, again, meaning what? The heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Be Qamaron, Only Focused on the Sun, Regardless of Difficulties

So, then we begin to understand hawla and quwwah (power). That every help, we reach to the hand. That’s why nasheeds and salawats and all this good character, good adab, the immensity of this love so that we grab the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That was the reality of the bay’ah (pledge of allegiance). The bay’ah with the ulul amr (saints) that represented for you, the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Their life is to teach you about that reality. In our lives, we have to find the moons – the qamar, qamaron – the moons of the nation of this reality. Their only focus is the sun. They should be focusing on nothing else and they should only be talking about the sun because the moon doesn’t talk about Pluto. It doesn’t talk about Jupiter. It doesn’t talk about Saturn. It talks about the sun, why? Because the sun is the light. It is the sources of light, the reflections of light, all the realities of light are coming out. That is the Muhammadan haqqaiq and Muhammadan Realities.

So, as a life is to follow the Muhammadan Haqqaiqs and realities and take a path, like the moon, in which it is continuously bombarded and bombarded with difficulty. The moon is not something that is beatific and shiny, but it’s something that has been intensely tested. As a result, its surface is all filled with craters and difficulties and testings. We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us from the immensities of the reality of eleven, the immensity and the reality of Dhul Qi’dah and this holy month and its tajalli (manifestation).

Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa ﷺ wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
