Cymatics – How Sound Can Alter the Manifestation of Your Form Q&A
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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)
Question 1: I’ve been watching your channel for quite a while. I’ve been raised a Christian and have not taken my shahadah (testimony of faith). Do I need to do that before I take my bay’ah (pledge of allegiance)? Also where do I begin with my practices? I try to do it all and feel overwhelmed and end up stopping if I forget something. With wudu (ablution) what are the basic steps? One website tells me one way other tells me another and the same with salah (daily prayer). All my friends that I’m friends with are Arabs so I don’t say a lot looking into Sufism. Can you please help me with just the basics I need to do and how many times I need to do salah? I’m really overwhelmed and I don’t know what to do.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: InshaAllah. This is from helpme [Email: [email protected]]? Yeah, inshaAllah. I think once these guys get a hold of that they’re going to send the email to you that describes everything to go slowly. That you take your shahadah right away. “Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.”
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ الله وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًاعَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
“Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasulu.”
“I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
Very easy, that’s it. That you accept the Oneness of Allah (AJ) and that Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is the messenger of Allah (AJ). As far as accepting the tariqah (spiritual path) then go to the app [Muhammadan Way]. They’ll start sending you the emails for the app and everything is so nicely put onto the app that you have all the recitations, you have the awrad (daily practices) and everything to recite. You go always at a speed that’s slow. Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would describe that it’s like a suit; if you make it too heavy you’re always looking to put it away somewhere. So you know you make it like a backpack 500 pounds and every five minutes you think, ‘This is too heavy for me, I’m gonna put it down.’ So to go slow but consistent is then favoured by Allah (AJ), to go fast and give it up is disliked. So everything slowly, slowly.
Best at any time in your spirituality and in your religious practices not to converse with people what you’re doing, how you’re doing it. Because everybody is on a different page when it comes to religion. The overwhelming position of religious people in the Western world are of a Wahabi ideology; whether they know it or they’ve been influenced by it at the masjid. So they’ll say, ‘No I’m not Wahabi,’ but they’ve been listening to the Wahabi imam (religious leader) because all the imams are paid by the Rabitat al-Islamiya (The Muslim World League). All their organizations and the MSAs controlled by Rabitat al-Islamyia and all of the organizations that the Wahabis have established in America and in the West. So if you’re hearing those imams, well they’re indoctrinating you into the Wahabi ideology. Even if they’re not, best to keep to yourself and communicate, watch the live broadcast and communicate by email. That, ‘Should I do this? I do this.’
You do that slowly, keep to yourself because the spiritual path is something private and for ourselves. We don’t want to make the path something that we brag about, ‘Oh you know I’m feeling this, I’m doing like this.’ You talk to the wrong person like that, they become envious and before you know it they begin to attack what you’re doing, ‘Don’t do that. Oh my God! Oh this is shirk (polytheism), this is like this,’ and they’re meant and Allah (AJ) describes in Surat Al-Munafiqeen that they take shahadah but their shahadah is a means in which to confuse people.
(٢) اتَّخَذُوا أَيْمَانَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
63:2 – “Ittakhazoo aymaanahum junnatan fasaddoo ‘an sabeelil laah; innahum saaa’a maa kaanoo ya’maloon.” (Surat Al-Munafiqoon)
“They have made their faith a screen/cover (for their misdeeds): thus they obstruct/turn (men) from the Path of Allah: truly evil are their deeds.” (The Hypocrites, 63:2)
So means they start coming in and making everything forbidden, everything wrong until people leave Islam. So shaitan (satan) sends these people, this type of belief actually to make people leave Islam. So in these days of darkness, it’s best to take your Islam from the internet. Just sit in the safety of your couch, watch the live broadcast, learn on your own pace, go to the website [Nurmuhammad.com] read from the app [Muhammadan Way]. There’s an abundance of these articles.
Don’t keep going to different sources and now cross-contaminating everything you learned. Keep to one thing. It’s like again like you enrolled in Stanford University and you’re now taking a curriculum from Stanford, you can’t go down the street to a different college and start reading their books. Say, ‘But he’s a Math teacher too,’ but he’s going to teach something different and it’s not going to be on your test. So you stick with the one school that you’re enrolled in and learn from their curriculum and go slowly, slowly, slowly. That way when you communicate with emails the shaykh can then begin to tell you, ‘Well did you do like this? Then you should experience like this. Did you do like this? You should experience like that.’ But if we mix things from many different sources, no shaykh will know what you’re doing and where your difficulty is coming from and why you’re not achieving what’s needed to be achieved.
So you enrol and you take the course, you take the curriculum and you try your best to achieve from that reality. If you’re guided to this channel [YouTube: The Muhammadan Way Sufi Realities], it’s because your heart is guided to the teachings and the style of teachings and the knowledges that are being taught. So it means that there’s already an affinity within the heart. Because you can’t force people to turn to somebody and say, ‘I don’t understand what that guy’s saying. I don’t even understand what he’s talking about or teaching.’ So you have to follow the heart in spirituality that, ‘My heart resonates with what he teaches and how he teaches,’ and as a result that’s the companionship and a bond that Allah (AJ) has already written that in an ancient time.
So when you come to that vibration and you pay attention to your heart, your heart is already vibrating and if it vibrates and links then you’ve made a connection and a link. Then you don’t need to go here and there and left and right and don’t break that loyalty and break that connection. But if you’re forced to be sitting somewhere, say: ‘I don’t even feel anything, I don’t know what this person is talking about, my heart doesn’t resonate with what they’re teaching and how they’re teaching,’ then you continue until your heart resonates to what it has to achieve.
So the heart doesn’t lie, the mind does. So your mind will play tricks on you and other people’s mind will play tricks on you. But that’s why you isolate everyone’s mind and their opinions and you’re alone by yourself as you will be alone in the grave. So you’re not going to have friends come into the grave and give you opinions. You’re going to be in the grave by yourself.
So as a result then, ‘I meditate and contemplate, make my connections.’ Say, ‘Is my heart resonate with this? Then I do my practices. What I achieve from my spiritual practice is nobody’s business and if I talk about it, they become jealous and discouraged.’
So it becomes a path of solitude in which is for me. I don’t have to share to my whole family, they’re not going to understand at all. Because Allah (AJ) didn’t guide them for that. So as I walk alone with my Lord and on my path and the more that I can keep that and keep what’s being dressed upon me, keep what reality is being pushed into the heart then the happier that Allah (AJ) is. Because it’s a person whom is developing themself without anyone knowing, inshaAllah.
Question 2: Sayyidi last night you mentioned about arrogance and also about music. Is there a relationship between the two? Does listening to bad music have a relationship to arrogance?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Sure. I said it’s a destruction of your energy. So remember that shaitan is playing with words. So these Arabic words that they’re trying to translate into English and manipulating people’s minds. Same you’ll find with riba (usury). ‘Usury’ is not a profit index in business. Usury is clearly – usury, is loan sharking – that’s when you charge an exorbitant rate and that can be in any form of business. When your rate is so high, it’s usury and that’s forbidden. But a profit index in a business transaction is not forbidden. But they’re playing with words to make the nation in difficulty.
So same, they come on to this broadcast and say, ‘Music is forbidden. Why are you guys making music?’ This is not music. This is Divinely praising. “Yusabbihu wa bihamdih.”
(٤٤) تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا
17:44 – “Tusabbihu lahus samawatus sab’u wal ardu wa man fee hinna wa in min shayin illa yusabbihu bihamdihi wa lakin la tafqahoona tasbeehahum innahu kana haleeman ghafoora.” (Surat Al-Isra)
“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt [praises] Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (The Night Journey 17:44)
Allah (AJ) teaching now advanced quantum. Think, these people didn’t know 1500 years ago string theory. Imagine what Islam brought onto this Earth! Where Allah (AJ) is telling Prophet ﷺ because this would all come out in the last days, “Yusabbihu wa bihamdih.” [17:44] ‘For verily everything is praising Me.’ Then fast forward 1500 years they found in quantum, they found that this form has atoms. These atoms have lights, these lights have actually energy. They found that everything is an energy being and based on string theory it’s vibrating, so that’s a praise! Everything is existing because of a praise.
So means these are all the secrets of Qur’an that Allah (AJ) is giving to them. So then that if everything is based on a sound, you make good sounds – it’s praise. Make bad sounds – they call ‘Music.’ So is bad sounds allowed? No. Harming yourself – is it allowed? No, it’s common sense. Is it punishable by death? No, make tawbah (repentance). You want to listen to some band that you’re not supposed to be or better not to, it’s not good for your heart, make tawbah, you’re not going to be executed for that. So it’s Allah’s (AJ) advice for us that, ‘Did you want to build yourself or you want to destroy yourself?’ Then they’re finding now that these children who listen to this, listen to this, listen to this that they actually then have psychological difficulties, what we call ‘Possession’ and ‘Energies.’
When you listen to enough low vibration, what happens with low vibrations? That many lower energies and negative energies can come close to you and they begin to have all sorts of mental difficulties. We attribute it to sound because we know the reality of it, they want to give medications. But if you go back to these youth and a great majority of them, it is the sounds that they’re listening to are changing their vibration, they’re getting heart palpitations, they’re getting all sorts of difficulties and then what else they’re doing is the gaming. Right?
Spiritual teaching is that whatever your eyes are looking at is directly affecting your heart. Right? So then what awliya (saints) came and said – keep your nazar bar qadam – keep your eyes on your feet because your eyes are absorbing. As much as you look, it’s filling your heart. So of course, you can’t make tafakkur (contemplation), you can’t contemplate because your heart is filled with all the wickedness of what you looked at. So there’s a direct connection between eyes and heart. So then imagine these kids all day long looking, looking, looking, looking, looking, looking, looking, you’re going to get a heart attack, you’re going to have heart difficulties. You’re overwhelming your hard drive with images that you’re not taking off the drive – you’re not cleaning the drive.
So what happens with your computer when you download 10 million graphic files? You’ll crash the hard drive. So no doubt they’re having difficulty in their heart, they have difficulty with their energy and as a result shaitan is destroying their energy field. So these same kids that play video games, they can’t read anymore. They have no more attention span. That’s why our videos stop being a half hour long. We’re now at a one minute length video. We went from 30 minutes to one minute overnight. Right? Because nobody has an attention span to sit for 30 minutes and learn something. Why? These video games, this life of constant adrenaline and dopamines into the mind, into the brain. How they can sit and read? This is intentional; shaitan is trying to destroy a community and a group and a population of people who will never be able to read, to achieve, to go into higher knowledges.
So then there was a movie or it was like a comedy movie of a generation of people who only drank Mountain Dew and played video games. What was the media, movie called? ‘Idiosyncrasy,’ yeah that’s we’re in that right now. We went from 30 minute video to our demographics can only be one minute because they have no attention span. They just want to go from one stimulus to the next stimulus, next stimulus and they want to drink an energy drink just to keep them stimulated. Because otherwise they get tired. We’re right at that point and that’s all the shaitan wanted.
So as a result they can’t meditate, they can’t contemplate, they can’t gain any higher knowledge. Why? So that they can never work in higher jobs so they’ll be a manual force of labor forever and they won’t even try to achieve higher jobs. They ask them, ‘What do you want to do for a career?’ ‘I want to be influencer.’ Influence? Millions of people, nobody’s going to give you money for influencing anything – it is shaitan’s trap. So we know it’s the end of times. InshaAllah Allah (AJ) save us and bless us, inshaAllah.
Question 3: Sayyidi, is the nafs (ego) something that is an internal enemy and should be constantly fought or can it be trained and converted into a friend that assists in the tariqah?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, not that easy like that. But nafs is something created from jahannam (hellfire).
So that reality, it comes from like a hellfire and it finds its companionship with shaitan – with other hellfire beings. As a result, it’s the one becomes sharik (partner) is with shaitan, never become sharik with Allah (AJ). There’s no way to be a sharik with Allah (AJ). The sharik is with the nafs and shaitan coming together and destroying you. The practices that Prophet ﷺ brought was to harness the nafs so it’s a continuous weight and a continuous saddle upon the nafs to break it down. But Prophet ﷺ described, ‘Don’t leave me for a blink of an eye to my nafs.’
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَلَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
“Allahumma laa takilnee ila nafsee tarfat `aynin wa laa aqala min dhalika.”
“O Allah! Don’t leave me to my ego for the blink of an eye or less.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
So means if you think one day that you tamed it, you’re good, you’re gonna go out and he’s not going to try to eat you, you already lost. So if Prophet ﷺ is warning us, ‘Don’t leave me for a blink of an eye.’ Think, ‘I trained this and it’s all. We’re good, we’re buddies’ but you think of it as like a fierce creature. That if you do your practices, Allah (AJ) give you sort of a very wicked saddle, you hold it and it’s very fearful of you. But if in a moment you become heedless, this thing will jump on you and devour you and it’s waiting to destroy you.
So that has an immense difficulty and that’s why all the practices, you never let go of the practices, don’t stop the practices. Because that’s a beast that’s just waiting to overtake you. So where do you see that? Are lion tamers! We’ve given many references to that where the lion tamer he comes a little bit too overly showman-y and he forgot he’s in a cage with lions and they get a little bit angry and he turns his back and all of a sudden the lion jumps him, the other one jumps him and he thought these were his buddies. You know, no but you whipped him a little bit too much, now that lion is very angry and they don’t forget and he’s coming after you. He just needs you to keep your back to him and he’ll jump you. As soon as jump you, the other one jumps you in the front.
So the dealing of the nafs of people is the same for the shaykh. So they’re always vigilant. Their association is like lion tamers. They know that the nafs of people are very angry. Why? Because the teachings and the restrictions on the teachings makes every energy to be sort of aggressive. They can control it with the qudra (power) and energy from Allah (AJ) but as soon as you get into the car, your nafs is all over the place, ‘I don’t know what that guy was saying. I don’t agree with anything,’ [angry man ranting] because that’s your lion coming. That oh gosh I hope he didn’t do that there because you would have tried to attack the Shaykh. But because of the barakah (blessing) they keep that all calm in this environment but that’s how you know what your nafs is.
As soon as you get in the car and leave about 10 feet away from the tajalli (manifestation) of here, just listen to yourself and listen, ‘Oh this one like that. Why they serve the food like that? Why is like this? What was this, there was like salad dressing on my…’ So the nafs will find everything. Remember the people who get angry at, ‘Why the zikr’s (Divine remembrance) late? Why the food is late? Why is like this?’ Because this is the nafs of people. But yeah, never trust your nafs.
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.
