Beware of Falling for Dajjal’s Version of Paradise and Hellfire
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ٱلْرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah (AJ) 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)
Rabi’ul Awwal is the Month of the Birth of Creation
Alhamdulillah, this blessed month of Rabi’ul Awwal, the month of the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the birth of creation. That Allah (AJ), a hidden treasure wanting to be known and creating creation.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه 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]
We Are From the Ocean of Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ To Which We Will Return
That light in which creation is manifesting is called “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ”. That we’re from that ocean and that reality and to that reality, we come and to that reality, we shall return, inshaAllah. The immensity of its blessedness, the immensity of its light and the celebration of Milad un Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) and recognizing, celebrating, honouring and living a life in which to honour the occasion of Allah (AJ), wanting to be known.
That’s the depth of this reality. That we celebrate Allah (AJ), that God Almighty wanted to be known and created creation; created creation from a light of truth, a light of purity; purity beyond our understanding of purity. From every light comes a secret and from every secret manifesting from a light. Nurul anwar wa sirratul asrar (light of every secret and secret of every light) known as “Ta-Seen; tilka ayatul Qur’an wal kitaabim Mubeen.”
﴾طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿١
27:1 – “Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen.” (Surat al-Naml)
“Taa-Seen, These are verses of the Qur’an, and a Clear Book.” (The Ant, 27:1)
Holy Qur’an Manifests on the Reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
That Allah (AJ) swears by this reality of “Ta-Seen; tilka ayatul Qur’an.” That verily, by the signs this light and it’s immensity. By the signs of Qur’an, by the signs of its realities and that this book that lays everything to be clear. It means that book is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Allah (AJ) is giving us that this power of this fire, the purity of this fire, is Holy Qur’an. When that Holy Qur’an is manifesting is kitabullah, is Allah’s (AJ) book is manifesting on the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Hence, giving us a physical location for these Divinely lights.
Allah’s (AJ) Qur’an, that’s why ayatul Qur’an (verses of Qur’an) – these are the signs of the Qur’an because Qur’an is not created Divinely speech of Allah (AJ). It’s signs are manifesting on the book of Allah (AJ). We said before now we are at a place in our technology that the book is not a physical book. For any technology you have, God must have far more advanced. Our book is whatever you want to cast it on, whatever device you have, an app will be sent. You download Qur’an onto whatever device you have – a TV, iPad, computer, phone.
Prophet ﷺ Has Been Created in Truth, Clarity and Without Crookedness
It means that Allah’s (AJ) kitab (book) manifest everywhere, manifest in this world of light. By swearing to the realities of Qur’an, by all the signs of Holy Qur’an and, ‘My clear book. That one whom is created in truth and clarity in which his reality has no crookedness. That enter into that fire and to that reality, to that dressing and to that blessing’. So, alhamdulillah, Rabi’ul Awwal is the opening of the secret of TaSeen ﷺ (Holy Qur’an, 27:1)
That Allah (AJ) is granting us an opportunity from an ancient reality. Allah (AJ) created these pardeh – these veils. Its admission is the admission of truth. Its entry has no fee, but requires an admission, that, ‘I’m accepting La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ”.
لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ الله
“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah”
“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
Allah (AJ) is a Hidden Treasure Wanting to Be Known
Its doorway and entry is the acceptance and the love of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Once that love is there, they accept the Milad. They want to celebrate the Milad. They want their whole life for that birth of that reality within their soul and within their heart. Later, awliyaullah (saints) come into our lives and explain that: that is the celebration of Allah (AJ). Allah’s (AJ) a hidden treasure wanting to be known. He’s going to be known by His creation.
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]
Are You Thankful for What Allah (AJ) Gave You?
That’s what Surat Ar-Rahman is the abode of all saintly souls. Allah (AJ) has stored a secret of the souls of heavenly saintly people in Surat Ar-Rahman because Allah (AJ) gives and hints to us the immensity. That, ‘Remember, don’t you want to be and show thankfulness to Me for the vegetation I’ve given to you, these fruits I’ve given to you, these dates I’ve given to you?’
Allah (AJ) is showing in our character, ‘Why you don’t show thankfulness? Why don’t you want to be thankful for what I have given to you?’ What type of a liar or kazzab or somebody who forgets and it’s a strong word Allah (AJ) is… tukazzibaan, is using. That, ‘How you can forget and not be thankful for what I have given to you?’
﴾فِيهِمَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَنَخْلٌ وَرُمَّانٌ ﴿٦٨﴾ فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ﴿٦٩
55:68-69 – ” Feehimaa faakihatunw wa nakhlunw wa rummaan (68) Fabi ayyi aalaaa’i Rabbikumaa tukazzibaan. (69)” (Surat Ar-Rahman)
“In both of them are fruit and date-palm trees and pomegranates. (68) So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? (69)” (The Beneficient, 55:68-69)
Celebrating Milad un Nabi ﷺ is the Greatest Appreciation We Can Show to Allah (AJ)
All of Surat Al-Rahman is a description of Allah (AJ) wanting to be appreciated, wanting to be loved, wanting to be recognized. That, ‘Why don’t you thank Me for all of these things that I give to you?’ Then imagine that the greatest thanks and the greatest praise is that Allah (AJ) brought us into existence so that we would know, know of the reality of Allah (AJ). So, this is the greatest praise. This is the greatest recognition.
That, ‘Ya Rabbi, we thank you for all that you bestowed upon us, but the greatest thanks and the greatest praise is that you brought Me into existence to love You, to know You, to find You.’ That’s the reality of Milad un Nabi ﷺ because it’s the reality of Prophet ﷺ is what Allah (AJ) wanted to be known by. The purified creation, the purified example, the best example of Divine reality; the best example of the Divine names and essences. All of those have to manifest in creation for us to understand what is generosity, what is Divine beauty, what is Divine grace, what is Divine compassion.
Prophet ﷺ is the Walking Qur’an
We use it by examples. When you think somebody is compassionate in life, say, ‘SubhanAllah, that Allah’s (AJ) compassion is far beyond the kindness of this person.’ So, we can only understand Allah (AJ) by creation. That gives us these guide points of these beatific characteristics. So, the best of creation is the example on how to know Allah (AJ). That’s why the Companions described that, ‘Prophet ﷺ was walking Qur’an’, it means embodiment of Qur’an.
قَالَتْ السَّيِّدَةُ عَائِشَةَ عَلّيِهِ السّلاَمْ:” كَانَ قُرْأنًا يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ.”
Qalat as Sayyidatu ‘Ayisha (as): ‘Kana Quranan yamshi ‘ala al ard.”
The beloved lady ‘Ayisha (wife of prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) said: “He (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) was a walking Qur’an on earth.”
Whatever you knew from this kitab (book), we knew it as Prophet ﷺ was a walking Qur’an. Compassion, we didn’t know compassion in that time until we experienced the compassion of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Generosity, love, compassion, forgiveness – all these beatific characteristics are why 124,000 holy Companions reached the state of immense perfection and love for the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, overwhelmed by the Divinely Presence and the Divinely character of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Shaitan Deceives Us From Divine Love
So, it’s an immense…the Milad is an immense, immense celebration for creation coming into existence for Allah (AJ), God Almighty to be known and to be known by the best of creation. So, alhamdulillah, that Allah (AJ) give us this immense reward in Rabi’ul Awwal that enter into this flame of Divine love and Divine ishq.
Now what we touched upon last night is that in these times of deceit, this fire that we’re looking for is veiled by illusions. That’s the danger of deceit because of the time of the magician and the magic show and all that shaitan (satan) and dajjal (man of deceit) are bringing of deceit. So, it means when we’re looking for the fire of Divine love, shaitan is going to switch these.
Dajjal Convinces Us His Fire is Paradise and Actual Paradise is Hellfire
The concept of the dajjal and the man of deceit is what Prophet ﷺ described for us is that, ‘He is going to hold a fire and coolness. He’s going to tell people what is hell and what is paradise and know because he’s a magician and a shaitan that it’s exactly the opposite, there’s an illusion.’ That what is a paradise for us, he will give the illusion of a fire. What is a fire for us, he gives the illusion of a paradise.
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَاَلَ: قَاَلَ رَسُوُلُ اَلَلَّهِ صَلَّىٓ اَلَلَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَعَهُ (أَيَ اَلَدَجْاَلَ) جَنّةً وَنَاَرْ. فَنَارُهُ جَنَّةٌ، وَجَنَّتُهُ نَارٌ (َرَوَاَهُ مُسْلِمْ)
‘An Huzaifa qala, qala Rasulullahi (saws): “Ma’ahu (aya al dajala) jannatan wa naar, fanaruhu jannatun, wa jannatuhu naarun.” (Rawahu Muslim)
Narrated Huzaifa (ra), that the messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “He has, (in reference to the man of deceit, Dajjal) the paradise and the hellfire. His fire is paradise, and his paradise is hellfire. (Sahih Muslim)
We Think We are Living in Paradise on This Earth, But We’re Close to Jahannam
So, he’s made this Earth like a paradise for people. They’re engaging and indulging in this Earth thinking they are in paradise. All along, they are making their way into jahannam (hellfire). He makes the way of jahannam to be so far away that people not to even think of it. It means that in the time of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because that deceit was not there. Prophet ﷺ talked to his Companions, ‘Come with me,’ and their path was like a path of immense difficulty, immense suffering so that they could reach paradise.
Now people are thinking they’re walking through paradise to get to paradise, but actually they are walking to what they perceive a paradise. But step by step, they are deeper into their jahannam. So, we don’t know if that makes sense to people. Holy Companions came in, battled two times a day, fasted in 150 degree, 120 degree temperature; continuous suffering, continuous struggling that if you looked at them, it was like hell on Earth – complete difficulty, complete struggling. Why? To reach paradise.
The Holy Companions Traversed Through Immense Difficulty to Reach Paradise
But because of the time we’re in, dajjal has shifted it. So, [he] makes everybody to look like they are walking in paradise, but all along, they are going deeper into jahannam. They think their life is like paradise, ‘Oh, this is like paradise. What I’m doing is this paradise, this experiences like paradise.’ No, it’s not like paradise. The Holy Companions, their way of paradise was immense difficulty. But because we live under the state of dajjal and the illusion of this deception, this is the danger that we face. That our true paradise is veiled and it looks like a fire and people say, ‘Don’t go there’.
That which is our true hell and our true abode of difficulty in which we’ll be punished and questioned within that realm and they make it look like it’s a paradise. ‘Go, go, look. Oh look, these people, they’re oppressed, these poor people. Go, go stand for their rights and do good and do good deeds.’ You’re earning your ticket into hell. Those are the abodes of jahannam and this is the immensity of the danger of what dajjal is putting upon this Earth and what Prophet ﷺ warned, warned for us.
Practices of Madad and Connection are Needed in These Times of Illusion Now More Than Ever
That be careful. You are in a time of a magician. This magician is going to make everything beatific. If you see it as beatific, know that it’s a fire. If he tells you something is of a fire and no avoid that, know that behind that veil is actually your ticket into paradise. That becomes the immense difficulty of this world right now. Very few can traverse this without heavenly support. The concept of the madad (support), the concept of the meditation, the concept of making the connection is for exactly that reason.
As soon as they’re able to make their connection, their portal and their vision in towards heavens is to be clarified through the illusion of what dajjal has put upon this Earth. It means, in the abode, what he’s making their lives like a paradise, they begin to meditate into the real paradise that that’s not paradise. Your comfort and ease is not your paradise. The money that comes to you is not your paradise. The luxuries of life are not your paradise.
Establishing a Connection Helps You Realize How Much Illusion We Have Today
Stop within his illusional paradise and connect into your heart to reach God Almighty’s real paradise. The energies and the Divinely Presence that flowing within the heart of the servant connecting with awliyaullah (saints) to bring the Muhammadan paradise into their home and into their hearts and into their beings. As a result, they can walk into that Divinely garden of grace and beauty and to be dressed and to be blessed.
Only in that garden can they receive the co-ordinates to understand how much of an illusion is now taking place upon this Earth. We actually post about articles and issues. People write in the comments, ‘Is this a bid’ah (innovation) and haram (forbidden)?’ Do you think if you have a mind that a shaykh is posting a talk and a discussion that he would post something that is a bid’ah and haram?
You Will See Paradise as a Fire With Dajjalic Belief
It means you’re dajjali and you’ve been fooled. That’s exactly the discussion we’re talking about. That they’re presenting to you paradise and you’re coming with a dajjal belief. You still see it as a fire. You see now the danger. These are protections Allah’s (AJ) giving. These are the zikrs (Divine remembrance) and the connection with awliyaullah (saints) to reach the paradise. Dajjal has fooled them to think, ‘No, no, this is a fire.’
How this is a fire? How, how this is a difficulty in your life to connect with pious people when all day long you’re connecting with Kanye West and every rap star and every singer on Earth and looking at everyone’s face and everyone’s feed and every influence are influencing you into the depth of hellfire? You think connecting with heavenly people is going to be your problem that Allah (AJ) asks about?
You think Allah (AJ) really going to question you, ‘Oh, who are these holy people that you knew in your life and that you wish to be in their company and that you wish to support them and be with them? I have a problem with that’. That’s what dajjal has done. Every time paradise is presented, he’s veiled people to think it’s a fire. They’re so influenced by their Wahabi teaching, dajjali teaching, satanic teachings, they can’t get the fire out of their eyes and out of their heart and that’s the danger.
Approach Your Lord With Humility
When you see those types of comets coming through, that’s exactly the subject that Prophet ﷺ was warning us. That no matter what we present of paradise, they’re so veiled. They see it as a fire and hell. Whatever we tell them is a fire and a hell, they say, ‘No, this is the correct way to paradise’. May Allah (AJ) save us and protect us, grant a softness and khushiya within the heart to listen to heavenly guidance, to take a path in which we are weak and humble servants.
You know, approach your Lord with humility. ‘Ya Rabbi, I know not. I know nothing other than if You guide me and keep me into the company of those whom You love. Keep our hearts always to be empty, our cup to be empty, our heart filled with love, but our cup to be empty.’ In a path of humility, the one who walks in humility is continuously supported by Divinely Presence.
People in Suits Don’t Care for You – Only Allah (AJ) and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Do
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us with these oceans of humility. That give us a strength and a certainty in our spiritual vision so that we see the fire that is really dajjal. Whatever he produces and shows of a paradise, of a benefit, that’s what we keep trying to talk to people to listen. Do you think that people in suits are caring for your rights when your life and the life of your women and children not more than ten cents in value of a bullet for them?
Only one who cares for your life is Allah (AJ) and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. All other is an illusion and delusion. So, when they hear, they have to understand with their heart that these are those paradises of dajjal that putting everything that, ‘Come to us. We will help you, come to us. We will heal you, come to us. We will save you. We want your rights. Come to us’. No, it’s all jahannam, all jahannam.
Seek Out Nabiyeen, Siddiqeen, Shuhada wa Saliheen (Holy Qur’an, 4:69)
They want nothing from that. This is the time in which we live that Prophet ﷺ warned. Oh, when they start talking about helping you and giving you paradise, run, run. Seek out those whom are with Allah (AJ). “Nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhadayi (martyrs) wa saliheen (righteous)”.
﴾وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا ﴿٦٩
4:69 – “Wa man yuti’ Allaha war Rasola faolayeka ma’al ladheena an’ama Allahu ‘alayhim minan Nabiyeena, was Siddiqeena, wash Shuhadayi, was Saliheena wa hasuna olayeka rafeeqan.” (Surat An-Nisa)
“And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) are in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Favours/Blessings – of the Prophets, the sincere Truthful, the Martyrs/Witnesses to the truth (who testify), and the Righteous, and excellent are those as companions.” (The Women, 4:69)
Surround Yourself By the People of Zikrullah
Allah (AJ) said, ‘They are the best of company.’ Who are you going to find that are with nabiyeen and siddiqeen and shuhada? That they have one amongst them whom their hearts are open and mushahada, that they witnessed what Allah (AJ). Allah (AJ) wants them to witness and they’re surrounded by saliheen (righteous). It means these are the circles of zikrullah (remembrance of Allah (AJ)). What we told you in the month before Allah (AJ) is defining very clear.
Look to the right and left of you if you think you’re in this cave of safety. You must be surrounded by the people of zikrullah because in the last surah (chapter), we told you. Allah (AJ) said, ‘Never, never ask anyone that is not in the remembrance of Allah (AJ).’ (Holy Qur’an, 18:28)
Prophet’s Nazar is Upon Those Who Praise Allah (AJ) and Ask for Forgiveness (Holy Qur’an, 18:28)
If the devil made him to forget the remembrance of Allah (AJ), how he’s going to benefit you? Now we’re in the cave. We look right and left in our life and Allah (AJ) giving us all our understanding: stay within the cave. Stay with the people of zikrullah whom their hearts are in continuous remembrance of Allah (AJ). We described that in that cave, Allah (AJ) gives to us glad tidings.
That, ‘I’ve given my command to the eyes of Prophet ﷺ to never pass you by. Those whom are busy in the cave purifying and cleaning and perfecting themself, Allah (AJ) asked from Prophet ﷺ, ‘Don’t let your nazar (gaze) pass them for the fancy people of the dunya (material world). But keep your nazar upon these pious people whom they busy themself praising Allah (AJ), asking for Allah’s (AJ) forgiveness’.
﴾وَاصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطًا ﴿٢٨
18:28 – “Wasbir nafsaka ma’al ladheena yad’ona Rabbahum bilghadati wal’ashiyi yureedona Wajhahu, wa la ta’du ‘aynaka ‘anhum tureedu zeenatal hayatid dunya, wa laa tuti’ man aghfalnaa qalbahoo ‘an zikrinaa wattaba’a hawaahu wa kaana amruhoo furutaa.” (Surat Al-Kahf)
“And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His Holy Face;. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments/glitter of the worldly life and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect. (The Cave, 18:28)
Busy Yourself With the Circle of Paradise Within Your Cave
It means Ahle Zikr (people of Divinely remembrance) and this is the power of the cave and the people of the cave. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us more understanding because we’re going to see so much fitna (confusion) all around and on television and here, there and ‘Go here, go there. People are going to help you. We want your right. We want this.’ Oh, all of that is a disaster, disaster.
The people of the cave, stay in your cave. The people of the cave, do your zikr and make your connection. Bring your paradise into your living room and into your heart. Busy yourself within that circle of paradise and leave the fitna outside the cave because Ashab ul Kahf (Companions of the Cave) told us, ‘We have to leave what they worship and what they believe, least they turn our hearts against Allah (AJ)’.
﴾وَإِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّـهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا ﴿١٦
18:16 – “Wa idhi’ tazaltumo hum wa ma ya’budoona illAllaha fawoo ilal kahfi yanshur lakum rabbukum mir rahmatihi wa yuhayyi lakum min amrikum mirfaqa.” (Surat Al-Kahf)
“When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease.” (The Cave, 18:16)
You Risk Losing Your Faith if You Leave the Cave of Safety
That’s what’s happening. That’s intensely what’s happening. Don’t leave the cave, otherwise, you risk the danger of losing one’s faith and losing that connection. It means a life that’s continuously retreating into our hearts, doing our zikr, doing our practices, keeping our muraqabah (spiritual connection), keeping the love for Allah (AJ) and the love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the holy Companions and Ahlul Bayt (holy family of Prophet ﷺ) and awliyaullah fis samayi wa fil ard (in heavens and on earth), 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.
