Don’t Be a Hypocrite By Denying You Receive Madad
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.
Wa Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaam Ashraful Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ bi madadikum wa nazarekum Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger), Ya Habibul ‘Azim (The Beloved of the Magnificent).

“A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” 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)
Our Path is to Destroy Our Own Hypocrisy
Alhamdulillah, that Allah (AJ) guided us on this immense gift to the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and without a doubt, its reality and its immense power. That in the month in which we keep talking about Surah Munafiqeen and its importance. That for the seventh month, seven holy openings, the seven openings of the heart – everything to open on this path of sincerity is to destroy hypocrisy.
The outward enemy of hypocrisy because on this subject, we see very little questions. Not too many people are comfortable asking about hypocrisy. They’d rather ask about other types of questions. It’s an uncomfortable subject because of its immense reality that to open the heart and open the seven points of the head, to open the layers of the heart, to open the seven names and the reality of why seven tawaf (circumambulation). All of these secrets that come on the seventh month, Allah (AJ) gives to us Surah Munafiqeen to see that this hypocrisy must end.
Hypocrisy is Rampant as Evilness Dominates
That one, it seems like the heavens are ringing a very loud bell of actual physical hypocrisy that has overtaken because the deceitful one is moving. As the deceitful one moves upon this Earth, hypocrisy becomes rampant. The inner hypocrisy that tariqahs (spiritual paths) come to remove, hypocrisy is a destruction and evilness. With an inner hypocrisy, very difficult to open anything from Allah’s (AJ) immense rahmah and mercy.
They come to teach us how to destroy the hypocrisy and sustain ourselves within Allah’s (AJ) mercy. But without a doubt, always the questions begin to come and especially in the month of hypocrisy that everything in our life is a madad (support). Everything in our life is a continuous state of support. That Allah (AJ) wants for us that to understand everything in our lives comes from Allah (AJ).
Our Inner Hypocrite Invites the Outer Hypocrite
So, this is without a doubt, but the minute you have a difficulty and you pick up the phone for help, that’s madad. If you get stuck on the freeway and your car needs repair and you begin to call service representatives – that’s madad. If anything that we do in our life that we seek a means towards something is madad. In every aspect of our life, we use that. The outer hypocrite always has to enter in to try to convince the inner hypocrite.
We said before in the talk of devils that many people are talking as zahiri (external understanding) people, external scholars. They obsess about outward devils. ‘This is a devil. That’s a devil. This is a devil. This is a devil’. But they forgot that the inner devil is the one that calls the outside devil. Because if there’s no inside devil, then the devil’s outside. Who cares? He’s got no pull on you, no hand on you.
Our Greatest Jihad is the Struggle Within Ourselves
But haqqaiq and the realities come and say: no, it’s actually the inner devil that keeps opening all the doors and unlocks the windows so all the outer devils come in and attack. So, the threat and the danger lies within. Why Prophet ﷺ taught us about the outside was on how to fight them, but then taught us: the greatest battle is your inside devil.
So, you have to be trained on how to fight the outside. You wash and fast and zikr (Divine remembrance) and salah (daily prayer) and everything Allah (AJ) gave to us. But Prophet ﷺ gave to us as a warning that the greatest battle lies within. It’s Jihadil Akbar (greater struggle) by understanding that the tariqahs (spiritual path) come to destroy this inner hypocrite.
عَنْ جَابِرُ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَوْمٌ غَزَاةٌ. فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: ” قَدِمْتُمْ خَيْرَ مَقْدَمٍ مِنْ الْجِهَادِ الْأَصْغَرْ إِلَى الْجِهَادِ الْأكْبَرْ.”
قِيْلَ وَمَا اَلْجِهَادِ الْأكْبَرْ؟ قَالَ ﷺ: ” مُجَاهَدَةُ الْعَبْدِ هَوَاهُ .”
[البيهقى في كتاب الزُّهدِ الْكَبِير ٣٧٣]
“An Jabiru (as) qala, ‘qadema ‘ala Rasulullahi ﷺ qawmun ghazatun. Faqalan Nabiyu ﷺ: “Qademtum khaira maqdamin min jihadil Asghar ilal Jihadil Akbar.”
Qeela “wa ma al Jihadil Akbar?” Qala ﷺ : “Mujahidatul ‘abdi hawahu.” [ Bayhaqi fi Kitab Az Zuhdil Kabir 373]
Jabir (as) narrated: ‘Some warriors came to the Holy Prophet. The Prophet (Muhammad) (pbuh) said to them, “Welcome back from the minor Jihad/Struggle to the greater Struggle.”
It was asked, ‘What is the greater struggle Oh Prophet of Allah (Pbuh)?”
The Prophet (pbuh) replied: “it is the servant’s fight/struggle against his own Ego/worldly desires.”
[Bayhaqi in book of ‘The Great Asceticism 373]
Historically, People Relied More Heavily on Their Hearts
That in this life we lead, now if you would have taken it back 150 years ago, they had more sincerity. People had more yaqeen (certainty). If they were traveling on a road and they fell into difficulty, they had to summon through their heart. They would make a prayer in their heart that, ‘Please, I’m in need and send somebody to help me, my Lord.’ Inevitably, if they pious and the person was pious, then a fellow traveler would come along the way because they had tawakkul (perfected trust in God). They had…they had their reliance upon Allah (AJ).
If you were traveling far from home, you would get a signal within your heart, ‘Something’s happening, I have to go back home.’ People were communicating with the power of their heart. But in this day and age, where every technology from Allah (AJ) has been taken away and then substituted with shaitan’s technology, with the jinn (unseen beings) technologies so that we would not use the power Allah (AJ) gave to us.
Every Aspect of Our Life is Madad Based on Allah’s (AJ) Permission
But the outer hypocrite always enters into these discussions and says, ‘This is a bid’ah. This is innovation. This is a shirk (polytheism). What does it have to do with worshipness? It means the words they start to use, they don’t understand that they are hypocrites. The mere factor that when they say that there is no such thing as madad and calling for help and that everything is based on only calling Allah (AJ). What we just explained? If you got stuck on the road, don’t be a hypocrite. Call Allah (AJ). How many have that certainty that they can sit in their heart, make the du’a (supplication), and then Allah (AJ) will send the tow truck to get you? Because even when the tow truck comes, it’s from Allah’s (AJ) permission. If Allah (AJ) doesn’t give a permission, that truck will never reach you. It will break down. He’ll decide he doesn’t want to come.
It means if Allah (AJ) doesn’t give biznillah, without the permission of Allah (AJ), nothing happens. That’s already a given. This is a kindergarten level of understanding. But what they want us to understand, look, every aspect of our life is madad. They just don’t realize it. If you ask for help, that’s madad. If you watched a video on how to cook, that was madad. If you…anything in our life, think of anything in our life where we’re seeking a means to an understanding. When those same people said, ‘You should rely only on Allah (AJ)’, they don’t. They don’t connect their heart and come up with a recipe. They don’t connect their heart and get help on the freeway. If they’re being robbed in a burglary into their home, they definitely don’t connect their heart, say, ‘Everything, wait. Hold on. Allah (AJ) sending support.’
We Take Allah’s (AJ) Grace and Blessings Without Thought
So, for every aspect of their life, it’s okay because according to them, then this is shirk (polytheism). This is making a partnership with Allah (AJ). But tariqahs (spiritual paths) come with an enlightenment and say, ‘What are you talking about?’ This word that you use, making a partner with Allah (AJ), this is a big punishment to say something like that. But in every day of our life, we’re using a means of which Allah (AJ) has given to us. That everything comes by Allah (AJ), but He gave us a phone. This technology of a phone to use it. Biznillah – with the permission of Allah (AJ) – when you dial, ‘Ya Rabbi, send me help.’ Then I call for police. Allah (AJ) sends them to come. ‘Ya Rabbi, please help me. I need to call tow truck.’ You communicate within your heart and with the permission of Allah (AJ), everything comes to us.
So, the tariqahs come to teach people: look, everybody’s doing this madad. They just don’t know it and they keep making these horrible expressions of grievous punishments to make a partnership with Allah (AJ). That’s like making an idol and saying that this idol will now save me, help me and cure me and I pray to that idol. That’s not anything of what people are doing, but they take the grace and the blessings of Allah (AJ) and they use them. They make their phone call knowing that Allah (AJ) to send the support and that’s madad. They want to learn something on the internet. That’s madad (support).
Our Hypocrisy Will Never Take Us to Heaven
They want to learn something about their deen (religion). They watch a video. That’s madad (support) because you’re seeking a means towards Allah’s (AJ) goal. You’re seeking a way in which to enlighten yourself, train yourself, teach yourself. So, the tariqahs (spiritual paths) come to remove. This is the month where Allah (AJ) is teaching that follow the tariqahs because they remove this inner hypocrite. Because nothing could be worse than somebody who uses these words to spiritual teachers, but in their everyday life, they use it.
‘Judge not for you shall be judged.’ That Allah (AJ) holds that servant to account. That, ‘Didn’t you just say that to one of these shaykhs? I’m going to hold that for you and now ask you when I see you next that you said this, but you were doing this. You said this and you were doing that.’ That hypocrisy is the sickness that has to die. That hypocrisy will never take us to heaven.
Faces of Pious People Remind Us of Our Lord
That’s why the turuqs (spiritual paths), they are the school of excellence and moral excellence. We said many times in our 35 years of experience and dealing with people, the extent of the hypocrisy of these people is unbelievable. If we put in our homes beautiful pictures of shaykhs, why? Because there’s Hadith from them. The face of a wali (saint) is more powerful than the mountain of Jabal Uhud; the face of a qutub (cardinal pole). Even having a picture of Jabal Uhud is a shifa and healing for you.
So, it means that when you look at the face of pious people, there’s a soul attached. It reminds you of your Lord. Inner hypocrite says, ‘There’s no pictures in Islam’ for me. For them, every type of forbidden picture that remind them of every zina (immoral acts), every badness, every horribleness. This allowed through their magazine, through their television, through their newspaper, through the money they have in their pocket of dead presidents. Everything for the hypocrite is okay. Every picture, all surrounding them, that even to the extent of being on social media which is a nonstop bombardment of images and inappropriate images.
Our Biggest Barrier to Divinely Light is Our Inner Hypocrite
They’re cursing us and say, ‘Why are you doing zikr (Divine remembrance)? This is innovation.’ The person is on TikTok which there’s not a stream of zikrs coming through TikTok. First, you have to ask the guy, ‘What are you doing here? Because you’re not using it for Allah (AJ). That’s very obvious.’ It’s just the hypocrisy of everything. That’s why we saw all of it in our lives, especially tariqah (spiritual path). So, anybody exposed to tariqah, they get astonished that, ‘Why they say this is wrong? Why is they say…’ Well, because this is a path towards the light.
The biggest barrier to the light is the hypocrite. How would you know a hypocrite unless Allah (AJ) sends the outside hypocrite? Where you’re like asking, ‘What is this guy saying? That why is…why is this a shirk (polytheism) and making a partner with Allah (AJ)? Because I’m asking for help’. But when he picks up his phone, that’s not a shirk. When he asks for help from 500 different people, that’s not a shirk. When we want to celebrate the birth of Prophet ﷺ, they say this is innovation. Then they send you a notice on social media, ‘It’s my son’s birthday.’ This is the sickness.
Beware of Those Who Create Doubt in Your Faith
This is why Allah (AJ), especially to tariqah (spiritual path) people because tariqah people, if they’re not strong, they hear the words of hypocrites and begin to have doubt. That’s was the biggest danger, right? The Jewish person come to you and says, ‘Your religion is awful.’ You say, ‘Okay, alhamdulillah, this is my religion. Your religion to yourself.’ A Christian person says same thing – it’s not a problem because they have their own faith. That’s why they follow their faith.
We have our own faith. We follow our own faith. But the one who says he’s from your faith and says everything from hypocrisy creates a doubt amongst people. That’s the danger. That weak people or new people come and say that, ‘What is he talking about? Why would being ruqya (blessing) and having Allah’s (AJ) name on my neck, why would that be something wrong?’ There’s not anything wrong.
Everything in Tariqah is to Bring Down Our Own Munafiq
They wear a cross to work. They’re trying to tell you not to put Allah’s (AJ) name on your ruqya and your ta’weez (prayer for protection). That same individual probably puts on a suit and tie which his tie is a cross. If you look at the evolution of a tie, they wrap around the neck and a string coming down. They’re wearing a…what do you call them…? You’re wearing a cross on their neck and you’re talking about wearing Allah’s (AJ) name is an innovation. In every aspect of our life, from what they eat, how they pray, what they say, what they do, how they interact with Allah (AJ), is about hypocrisy.
The tariqahs come to tell us and to teach us: hypocrisy must be destroyed and that Allah’s (AJ) way is to destroy hypocrisy. That, ‘Ya Rabbi, all these things around me, grant me from the blessings of these pictures. Let my eyes always to see the faces in which You’re happy with. By looking at their faces, it reminds me of the love and the way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ This becomes our battle to exist in this dunya (material world). That’s why everything from the tariqah is to bring down that disease, to bring down that sickness.
Our Inner and Outer Demons Work Together to Bring Us Down
That’s why the tariqah people see it the most. They come across every aspect of this way. These are the people. If they see a tasbih (prayer beads) in your hand, they say this is innovation. That how could remembering Allah (AJ) be innovative, as if something is wrong? But the phone in your hand from shaitan is not innovative? Then wear a ring. The craziest one is you wear a ring and and the person said, ‘This is a shirk’. How shirk (polytheism)? What does it have to do with the worshipness of Allah (AJ)? You kissed the black stone. I’m just wearing a ring on my hand. Well, how you come up with these words? Again, it’s just the sickness of hypocrisy, just not knowing anything but saying everything. There’s a deep reality behind everything, an immense reality behind all of these practices.
But we pray that Allah (AJ) give us the strength to destroy our inner demon. That that inner demon that makes a partnership with the outer demon and then they plan together to bring us down. That everything that comes from the tariqah (spiritual path), from the heart of Prophet ﷺ is a medicine for its time and a protection for its time. The only thing is that these people don’t know what time it is. They’re stuck somewhere because of the deception of shaitan. What shaitan is planning now and how he’s moving upon this Earth, it requires us to keep a strong connection with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
When You Support Good, You Receive Barakah; When You Support Evil, You Share in the Evilness
All these other issues are not going to resolve anything. They’re not going to help anyone. But they can break the connection with Prophet ﷺ. If you take out all of the heavenly barakahs (blessings), but you leave all of the satanic system, you find the person to become empty. This is the role of a hypocrite: put your tasbih (prayer beads) down, but your phone is okay. Take your ring off, but wearing a shirt with some sort of a band on it or a designer label on it and now the designer labels are disclosing to you – they’re satanic. They put images of dead children, they say, ‘This is what we worship.’ All of the controversy they had about the fashion industry was for what? Their disclosure. That’s why we said when people don’t know what time it is, they don’t understand what shaitan is doing.
Those fashion industries they disclosed, they work for shaitan. They’re literally satanists. Everything that they put out has an incantation upon it, has a prayer upon it to reduce the energy of people and to take away the faith of people. Anything that you support, you have a share in that support, in that organization. If you support towards good, you take the barakah and the blessings of the good. If you support towards evilness, you take a share of their evilness. That’s why shaitan made the disclosure. See how like a $4 billion company comes out and talks about, you know, slaughtering people and all their designers were dressed in blood and red and dead, dead children. Say, ‘Oh, this is horrific’. The designer came back, said sorry with fingers crossed. It wasn’t sorry. It was to blaspheme Allah (AJ).
Karbala is the Ultimate Example of Hypocrisy
So, it’s a blasphemy against Allah (AJ). That when the person supports it, what happens? They can’t claim ignorance. They can’t go to Allah (AJ) and say they don’t know. Allah (AJ) said we all know. We all have on social media. As a result, you’re a shareholder now of that. That’s why shaitan’s setting people up. He knows what will get them to be punished, what difficulties will come to them, take away the barakah, and bring all of the difficulties and sickness upon mankind. We pray that Allah (AJ) inspire us towards the destruction of hypocrisy and the perfection of our love and ishq for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. On these holy nights, nothing more beautiful than asking for the support of Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ). That Sayyidina Zainab (as), a great warrior in the way of truth, of what she witnessed death and suffering and the suffering of her family and her brothers and sisters. Then the ultimate suffering of witnessing Karbala.
Karbala is the apex of munafiqeen (hypocrites). It wasn’t Jewish and Christian people killing Imam Hussain (as). They were calling ‘azaan (call to prayer) and praying. They waited in the ‘Asr (afternoon prayer) to go pray. They would pray. After the ‘Asr, they came to kill Imam Hussain (as). Her death, ‘alayhis salaam, in Rajab under Surah Munafiqeen is the whole symbol of her existence. Allah (AJ) kept her soul alive to come back and say what happened. That what these people did is unimaginable. They said they were with us, that they loved Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. You would not have done that to Prophet’s ﷺ sheep. If you found two sheep from Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, no one would have touched them like they touched the two grandchildren or they touched Imam Hussain (as), and all the family members and grand, grand children because it’s the symbol of hypocrisy.
Current Munafiqs Have Sold the Muslim People, Their Lands and Their Deen
That the hypocrite may say he’s with you, but they were very jealous of Prophet ﷺ and jealous of what Allah (AJ) bestowed upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. What was bestowed upon the holy family and even the companions suffered from the hypocrisy of the Muslim nation. So, it means the greatest threat in our lives is the threat within. In this Rajab, the overwhelming bell that being rung is that the munafiqs (hypocrites) have moved.
They’ve now started taking their action. They sold the Muslim people. They sold the Muslim lands. They sold the deen (religion). They’re not the caretakers and they don’t safeguard the people nor the religion. This is the overwhelming danger that moving upon this Earth. What we can do? Nothing from this physical other than identify it, but fight against the inner munafiq. The inner munafiq that says, ‘No, my love is for Prophet ﷺ.’
Try Your Best to Adhere to the Ways of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
That Abrahamic accord has nothing to do with Sayyidina Ibrahim (as). They used this before when the Jews and Christians were arguing that Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) is from us. Allah (AJ) say, ‘He’s not from any of you. He’s hanif and he’s from us. He’s pure and you’re impure people trying to attach to his name’. It didn’t work before. For those who safeguard the trust, it’s not going to work now. Impure and dirty belief has nothing to do with Sayyidina Ibrahim (as), the father of faith. This is then our responsibility in life is to fight the munafiq inside that want to take away the sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), want to take away all that’s important.
It wants to follow the fashion. It wants to eat from their styles. It wants to do from their styles. They say that, ‘The style of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is old and we can renew it,’ but the style of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is from paradise. It never grows old. That everything that Prophet ﷺ brought for us, our life is try at our best to adhere to it, to try our best to keep it, for trying our best to revive it in a time which becomes more and more difficult.
Remember Sayyidatina Zainab (as) With Good Actions in Rajab
We pray that Allah (AJ) give us the madad and support of these amazing souls. By remembering Sayyidatina Zainab (as) and the immense proximity that she has to Hazrat Fatima (as), to Imam Ali (as), to Imam al Hassan (as) wa Imam Hussain (as), to the nearness and love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That by remembering her, having this love for her, praying a Fatiha for her, giving water for her, feeding poor children in her name. All of these acts brings us the immense lights of Rajab that we were not able to achieve.
It’s enough for her in this holy month, if they call this like the month of milk and honey. If we think we’re going to achieve these blessings only by our own actions, it’s not correct. But by loving those whom their stations are immense, immense in reality, by doing these good deeds in their names, in the Holy Companion names, we pray that Allah (AJ) grant us the immensities of the blessings of Rajab and to dress us from the blessings and the immensity of Rajab and the holy Isra wal Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension) opening on the 26th, the 27th of Rajab, 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.
