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)

Misconceptions Surrounding Dream-Based Guidance

There have been some emails and other things that people are asking that: ‘There’s a person or people that dreaming about the last days and events of the last days and about Sayyidina Mahdi (as). Shaykh, what do you think? Then propagating everything as if this person is Sayyidina Mahdi (as).’ I don’t want to be rude, so I’m trying to control my mannerism on this subject and not use adjectives that would be unpleasant to people.

But tariqah (spiritual path) are trained men of God in which they have nothing to do with dreams. We don’t trust anything that has anything to do with dreams. We don’t have guidance from dreams. The dream and the dream people are dead people. Anyone taking guidance from dreams, for us, is a dead person. Guidance comes through a living and awakened connection.

The Limitations of Dreams and the Reality of Divine Connection

The dream world, based on the nafs (ego) of people, nafs is so strong in blocking the connection that it waits for the person to sleep. But the problem with a dream state and a dreamer giving us information about akhir zaman (end of time), is that we’ve described in many videos and these people should go back to Google our YouTube The Muhammadan Way Sufi Realities], that what shaykh thinks about dreams. That will give you the understanding of anyone claiming that, ‘Oh, through dreams I’ve seen the apocalypse. I’ve seen Sayyidina Mahdi (as). I’ve seen this. I’ve seen that.’ We don’t care. It’s all rubbish. If it’s true, it’s good for you.

That Allah (AJ) doesn’t need from His servants anything from dreams. Because He gave to them the tariqahs and put these people in seclusions for many, many days, trained them with many horrific events, many horrific trainings, many different difficulties, and secured their connection. At the end, they have an ijazah (permission) that, ‘Your connection is to our hearts,’ connected all the way to the heavens. As a result, it’s a live broadcast, not dead broadcast, not delusions, and not illusions.

The Difference Between a Dead Heart and a Living Heart

So, Mahdiyoon they’re alive hearts, they’re Ahlul Basirah (the people of spiritual vision). That through their hearts, they witness what Allah (AJ) want them to witness. If the heart is not alive and the heart doesn’t see, why Allah (AJ) want to proclamate an information through a dead heart and dead eyes? He doesn’t have servants that can see? He doesn’t have servants that can hear?

The Power of Divine Connection Beyond Dreams

All that we teach about of the Hadith al-Qudsi (Holy Hadith) that you did your fard (obligatory), so, it means then your head would be covered and your face would have a beard. After you did your fard, you approached with your voluntary worshipness. That their lives are a service and khidmat to Prophet ﷺ. As a result, Allah (AJ), ‘I become the eyes in which you see, the ears in which you hear.’

عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ:” …وَمَا تَقَرُّبِ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِيِ بِشَيْءٍ أَحُبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا اِفْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتَ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا. وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ، … “ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلمَصْدَرْ: صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ : InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ Wa maa taqarrubi ilayya ‘abdi be shayin ahubba ilayya memma iftaradhtu ‘alayhi. Wa la yazaalu ‘abdi yataqarrabu ilayya binnawafile hatta uhebbahu, fa iza ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul lazi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul lazi yubsiru behi, wa Yadahul lati yabteshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha. Wa la in sa alani la a’teyannahu, …” [Hadith al Qudsi, Sahih al Bukhari, Raqam: 6502)

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that: Allah the Almighty said: “… My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask (something) of Me, I would surely give it to him, …” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

This is not dreams! Dreams, you could be sleeping and shaitan (satan) coming to you, the jinn (unseen beings) coming to you, your diet and your food coming to you, your wife coming to you with all of her talkings and every type of family issue in your life. You’ll be dreaming all night of everything. So, it means this physicality can be influenced by many, many things.

True Spiritual Power Comes Through Living Connection

But what Allah (AJ) is talking about is a connection of a servant where Allah (AJ) is describing,

- ‘I will be the ears in which you hear.’ That’s not a dream state. That’s Allah (AJ) saying, ‘I’m giving from My attributes of hearing.’ It can be infinite in its power. They can hear from the earth. There are people who can hear the zikr (Divine remembrance) of fishes, the zikr of animals. Or Allah (AJ) can open their hearing all the way into the seven heavens and into the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
- Then Allah (AJ) describe, ‘I’ll be the seeing in which you see,
- The hands in which you touch,
- The feet in which you move.’
- So much so, you become Rabbaniyoon (lordly souls) and whatever you want is “Kun faya koon” because your will is matching the will of Allah (AJ) – “Atiullah”, matching the will of Prophet ﷺ, and matching the will of Ulul Amr (saints).

So, they don’t want what Allah (AJ) doesn’t want. They want only what Allah (AJ) wants.

(٨٢) إِنَّمَا أَمْرُ‌هُ إِذَا أَرَ‌ادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ

36:82 – “Innama AmruHu idha Arada shay an, an yaqola lahu kun faya koon.” (Surat YaSeen)

“His Command is when He Wills/Intends a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it is!” (YaSeen, 36:82)

The Identity and Reality of Sayyidina Mahdi (as)

So, it means this system of rijal (people of maturity) and the master of all these rijal is Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mahdi (as). Immense power, immense training, many, many, many years in seclusion and caves with all awliya (saints) and all faiz (downpouring blessings) and dress and lights and blessings upon. That’s so powerful you can’t look into his face without dying.

The Jewish people, they couldn’t go into a room from a tablet because Allah (AJ) wrote those tablets and they had the Ark of the Covenant. Because Allah (AJ) wrote on those tablets of stone that Nabi Musa (as) broke, there was so much energy coming from this Covenant, this box that the angels were carrying, if they went into the room, they would die unless they fasted for three days, washed, and had specific diet. This is for a box with stones. What about the heart in which Allah (AJ), His nazar (gaze) is looking continuously into this Mahdiyoon heart?

Recognizing the True Sayyidina Mahdi (as)

The one whom represents the family and haqqaiq (realities) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in full sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), full beard, whitish red complexion, red turban with a birthmark on his eye. Doesn’t look like some person that doesn’t follow the sunnah. It’s not even a face that anyone could see. The glimpse of the Holy Face would make the person to be khashiya (dust) and die unless they have prepared themself and their hearts. The zuhoor (appearance) and the presence of Sayyidina Mahdi (as) is not something that he’s going to guess himself who he is. He knows who he is. This is a Hadith of Prophet ﷺ: “Who knows himself will know his Lord.” This servant knows his Lord very well. He’s such a knower that he’s coming to bring all knowers into their haqqaiq.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ:” مَنْ عَرَفَ نَفْسَهْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ”

Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: “Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqad ‘arafa Rabbahu”

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Who knows himself, knows his Lord.”

Warning Against Misrepresentation and False Claims

So this is shaitan playing with people, thinking that McDonald’s is coming or Burger King is coming. No, these clowns is not what we’re waiting for. Sayyidina Mahdi (as) has nothing to do with that. Most of these people will be dead before that time. Even the false allegation that you represent that you will be dead. 70,000 scholars will be dead. All those who talk against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ will be perished by Allah (AJ). There is no playing with that reality. There is no false representation of that reality. This is all Hadith of Prophet ﷺ. Seventy thousands scholars will perish. Who would they be? The ones whom falsely claim anything about Sayyidina Mahdi (as) and the ones whom claim or speak against the realities of Prophet ﷺ. So, we are in those times now.

Embracing the Path of True Awakened Hearts

So, alhamdulillah that Allah (AJ) guided us to this Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order), and the way of awliyaullah (saints). Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya is directly connected to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mahdi (as). We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us from its realities. Leave the rubbish of dreaming people and come to the people whom their hearts are awake and study from them, learn from them, and struggle and fight against your bad characteristics and achieve from what they’re describing to achieve, inshaAllah.

Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.

Shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger). InshaAllah what do we have from our SMC family? MashAllah, with all the posts and can’t even keep up with the post. We’re just trying to share the post. Now we’re databasing all the images so that they can show up in our books and in our articles and everything. So, we’re now trying to database all these wonderful images. The AI – Shaykh.ai – I think, has a blog posts. So, it’s grabbing these main ones and putting them into there as a blog post. So, alhamdulillah, lots of efforts are coming, lots of, lots of actions, inshaAllah.

Question 1: Sayyidi, I feel like a selfish person because I mostly enjoy attending the live Mawlid (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) with you, but after that throughout the week, I’m having a lack of motivation to be of service. How to overcome this problem? Sayyidi I feel a lack of seeker mentality, like just doing practices for energy gain rather than increasing love and seeking realities. Please guide.

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, keep continuing. That’s what the whole talk was today. We can’t talk it again. So, that was the whole talk was about that. It is shaitan.

So, shaitan is cutting the energy of people, trying to harm them, but alhamdulillah Allah (AJ) is the greatest of protectors. So, these dragons and these protections that Allah (AJ) has sent upon the believers and those whom have taken the bay’at (pledge of allegiance). But he’s still trying to cut their frequency. Through their salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and continuous muraqabah (spiritual connection), try to reach to that energy, connect to that energy, and you have to fight it. So, you go and watch a movie like the Lord of the Rings. That your fight is one against 300, 500,000. If you’re tired of swinging because there are just so many of these demons, you can’t. Because as soon as you stop swinging, they come all over you and start to eat you.

So, it’s a life of continuous swinging, swinging, swinging everywhere to get these shaitans off. That becomes the salawat and the muraqabah and connection. All they want is for us just to stop and shut it down and make everybody have waswas (whispering). We described in Surah Munafiqeen where Allah (AJ) says not only ask them to ask about Prophet ﷺ to forgive them but they go around saying ‘Don’t support these people whom love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’

(٧) هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ لَا تُنفِقُوا عَلَىٰ مَنْ عِندَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

63:7 – “Humul lazeena yaqooloona laa tunfiqoo ‘alaa man inda Rasoolil laahi… ” (Surat Al-Munafiqoon)

“They are the ones who say, “Do not spend on those who are with the Messenger of Allah…” (The Hypocrites, 63:7)

So, this is a big sign from shayateen (devils) when they tell you to support and your shaitan says no. It means you’re under difficulty, you’re under attack. He’s too close, and he’s countering everything. So, this is the greatest fight. If we can survive those fights, then inshaAllah, we try to reach towards the light. That becomes then, you know, the sense of success or defeat. But keep trying, keep connecting, keep making your salawats, inshaAllah.

Question 2: Sayyidi how does one confront this hypocrisy one sees in himself?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: That fight it. That’s it, inshaAllah. No fight [with others], fight your devils. That’s the whole talk, inshaAllah.

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.
