“Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.”
﴾أَطِيعُواللَّه وَأَطِيعُوٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ… ﴿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)
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 are still in existence. Alhamdulillah, that Allah (AJ) has granted for us with the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to enter into the holy month of Safar. “Subhana man huwa ‘Alimul Hakim”.
سُبْحَانَ الْعَلِيْمُ الْحَكِيمْ
“Subhanal ’Alimul Hakim”
“Glory be to the All-Knowing, the Wise”
Surat al-Kahf is About Entering a Portal
The immensity of the second lunar month and the reality of 18 and Holy Qur’an is the guidance of all creation, known and unknown. They don’t have to know it. It guides creation and Holy Qur’an’s 18th surah (chapter), Surat Al-Kahf, it’s all about entering into a portal. The symbol of a mountain and the symbol of a cave. “Wa jibalan awtadan” and that the mountains are the pegs of this Earth, are awtad.
﴾وَالْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا ﴿٧
78:7 – “Wal jibala awtadan.” (Surat An-Naba)
“And Mountains like Pegs.” (The Tidings, 78:7)
These are a category of awliyaullah (saints) that is symbolic. That mountain is a Divine stable force upon an ever chaotic Earth. That the physical mountains themselves, when God had placed them before the mountains were placed, the Earth was shaking and the mountains were placed to keep a firmness upon the Earth. Everything physical has a spiritual reality and the spiritual reality is a category of awliyaullah, saintly souls that are awtad and they are like the pegs (Holy Qu’ran, 78:7). They hold the firmness of a chaotic Earth and its reality, hence the cave.
Mountains are Saintly Realities That Stand Firm When Shaken
So, a stabilizing force and an ever chaotic existence of this material world; then we understand what mountains are. Mountains are prophetic realities and saintly realities. It means a reality which is of a Divinely nature and the symbol of a mountain. Its firmness and the Earth doesn’t shake it. So, all these earthquakes and the buildings that are fake mountains. It’s human way of thinking, ‘We conquered this Earth. We’ll make slave ships that point upwards. We’ll enslave everyone to be in those ships and little, tiny compartments and we’ll charge them for it.’
They’re feeling that they have made like mountains upon this Earth. When Allah (AJ) wants to shake the Earth and all they come tumbling down. All their slave ships fall, but not the mountains. They’re consistent in the strength. No matter how much this Earth oscillates, moves, shakes, it’s a symbol of fortitude and strength. The greatest of the mountains is the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
The Seven Sleepers Sought Refuge in the Cave Like Many Others in History
The concept of a cave is an opening within the mountain because you can’t just sit on the mountain and say, ‘I’ve arrived.’ But you have to enter a mountain and seek its refuge. That I need a shelter from the oppression of this shaking Earth and shaking existence and therefore, Allah (AJ) gives to us Surat Al-Kahf. That be like the companions. The Christians have, Islam has the Seven Sleepers of the cave. It’s biblical so it means then Jewish have it because they have the same book.
So, the story of the Seven Sleepers and Ashab ul Kahf (companions of the cave) – be from the people of a cave that run from the badness and enter into the cave. As a result of entering into the cave, then we seek the protection of Allah (AJ) with the shelter of the existence and the reality of that tremendous force that Allah (AJ) has fortified. So, it’s not outside of God but it’s the system in which God has given to us.
When your world becomes ever confusing and horrific in its nature, run to the caves. They did that in Afghanistan. When they were bombing all over the skies, they ran to caves. They couldn’t find these people. Throughout history, people have run to the caves when oppressors become oppressive. That’s why you have cave drawings. I don’t think they were in the caves because they enjoyed it. It was a refuge. As a result, they occupied and lived within the caves. They have even civilizations that sought refuge from the earth, dug… I think the caves in Turkey were huge stones. They don’t even understand who made these stones that sealed the cave. They found tunnels and entire civilizations under Earth that they know they had horses down there. They were living in these mountains in the Earth.
All Prophets (as) are Hidden Except for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
So, it is an immense symbol of refuge. As a result of that reality, then Allah (AJ) is giving to us to understand that our life is to seek this cave and the greatest cave of Allah (AJ), the greatest source of power of the Divine is the prophetic reality. Because of the brotherhood of the prophets (as), all of the prophets (as) are hidden. Where are you going to find them? But one whom Allah (AJ) didn’t want because they’re all mountains, huge mountains. If you go to their maqams (stations) and sit, you feel an immense vibration of the Divinely Presence. The one whom Allah (AJ) didn’t hide and his books are not hidden, not manipulated, then is the greatest mountain that Allah (AJ) kept open for humanity.
There’s a reason the other ones are hidden. Where is Sayyidina Isa’s (as) grave, alayhis salaam? Not available because Allah (AJ) doesn’t want you running there. Where is Sayyidina Musa’s (as) grave? There’s dispute and they’re not accepting. But the grave that has no dispute, the presence that has no dispute, whose writings have no dispute, the teachings have no dispute, whose holy book is memorized by billions of people creating a blockchain so that you can’t tamper with it and rewrite it. Nor can you go back in time and history through the manipulation of the windows of movement and time and travel because Allah (AJ) made it a book to be guarded by those whom recite it. They’re called the guardians. Allah (AJ) gave for them a destiny to memorize the holy scripture. It’s a book written by sound and its importance of the last days and sound vibration and its power. As a result, Allah (AJ) made for them to memorize it and as a result, they are the blockchain.
The Lord’s Prayer was Changed and Has Become Deceptive
All other books, as soon as these portals opened and CERN opened, they changed everything. They changed the Lord’s Prayer. ‘Forgive us our debts as we forgive those whom were indebted’. The Lord’s Prayer didn’t have anything to do with debt. ‘Forgive us our sins and our trespassings’. As we’ve trespassed, we ask that Allah (AJ) forgive us for all those whom we’ve violated. Now when you read it, it says, ‘Forgive us our debt’ as if God was a debt collector.
So, it means those mountains are not secure. They will be tampered with and that’s why you call it ‘antichrist’ because many versions of that reality are coming and have come. In Islam, we don’t call it antichrist. We call it deceit. The one who’s coming for us, the same one causes deceit within the religion. So, all of these we see upon this Earth.
Love the Prophetic Reality to Be Guided to the Cave
Everything is a deception and the safety from deception, Allah (AJ) is then describing, ‘Enter the caves. Find these mountains and enter.’
﴾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)
We described before that the easiest way to enter a house is through its door.
﴾وَلَيْسَ الْبِرُّ بِأَن تَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِن ظُهُورِهَا وَلَـٰكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنِ اتَّقَىٰ ۗ وَأْتُوا الْبُيُوتَ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّـهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١٨٩…
2:189 – “…Wa laysal birru bi-an tatol buyoota min zuhooriha wa lakinnal birra manit taqa, wa’ tol buyoota min abwabiha, wat taqollaha la’allakum tuflihoon.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)
“…And it is not righteousness to enter houses from the back, but righteousness is [in] one who fears Allah. And enter houses from their doors. And be Conscious of Allah that you may succeed.” (The Cow, 2:189)
So, it means to enter into the cave is to love them. Prophet’s ﷺ promise is ‘You will be with whom you love.’
.”عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: … فَقَالَ (رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ): ” أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ [اَلْمَصْدَرْ: مُسْلِمْ:.٧٥٢٠ ]
‘An Anasin (ra): … Faqala (Rasulullahi) ﷺ: “Anta ma’a man ahbabta.”
Narrated Anas ibn Malik (ra) that …the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “You will be with whom you love.” [Source: Muslim 7520]
When you love them, love Prophet ﷺ, love the prophetic reality because you love all of them. You’ll be with them. As a result, they guide you to their caves. When we love them and want to be with them, then we find the opening of this cave in the realities of the shaykhs, in the presence of the shaykhs. That their vibration brings us into that cave and into that reality. So, what they call because we have to talk on common terms so that people can see what’s happening upon this Earth, right?
Everything We See in Science Fiction Has Come From God’s Will
So, science – science fiction and it will be publicized are what they call portals in which they can manipulate the time fabric and as a result, bring something in and push someone through. They’ll use their jinn (unseen beings) technologies and machines that the shayateen (devils) and the jinn have provided for them. That’s why Allah (AJ) allows those movies because everything is within God’s will, good and bad. The bad, shaitan tampers with – don’t look at the scenes that are not appropriate – everything else, take isharat (sign) and guidance. We said there cannot be anything written, drawn or made that is not created by God. It’s common sense.
Can you see the most horrific creature and think that God hasn’t created that? Otherwise, how do you have it? You’re just a computer. Do you have a software that somewhere didn’t put a software in you and you just came up and manifested a software? No, it’s been put in you, you finally found it. Allah (AJ) doesn’t look and say, ‘Oh, my God, this amazing creature. You know, I should put one of those on Venus.’ No! They already exist in God’s will. Somewhere that creature exists and somebody’s inspired to take a vision of it, make it into a horrific movie and they show it attacking but all of that is real.
The belief in Allah (AJ) is the belief in whatever is coming, manifesting. Whatever you’re seeing is in existence. If you haven’t seen it, doesn’t matter. Maybe a day, you may see these creatures enter into this dimension. This concept of the portal and the movement through time and space that the shaitans, they can’t use a knowledge of a book so they have to use tech and technology. They have to make a device and begin to manipulate the time fabric to manipulate the energy and the movement of energy.
The Throne of Sheba Was Replicated Using a Time Portal
Allah (AJ) is teaching, God Almighty is teaching from the time of the Prophet Sulaiman (as) that the one whom had the knowledge of the book was able to, by the speed of thought, bring the throne of Sheba, Bilqis. Sheba is the kingdom, the queen is Bilqis. By the speed of his thought – he said by the time your eyes opened, he completely copied it because he can’t steal for a prophet (as); an immense throne that they say is unbelievable in its description and how it was created and made by stone and marble that it looked like water, created and put it all in front.
﴾قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِندَهُ قَالَ هَـٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّي ۖ…﴿٤٠
27:40 – “Qala alladhee ‘indahu ‘ilmun minal kitabi ana ateeka bihi qabla an yartadda ilayka Tarfuka, falamma raahu mustaqirran ‘indahu qala hadha min fadli rabbi…” (Surat An-Naml)
“Said one who had knowledge of the book: “I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!” Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: “This is by the Grace of my Lord!…” (The Ant, 27:40)
By the speed of thought, he opened that power because the one whom has knowledge of God has much more power than a machine or ifrit (powerful demon) and shayateen. It’s just God hasn’t opened that power for the servant yet, but the potential is immense.
Ignorant People are Angry and Distant From God
When we understand portals, now read Qur’an to understand the science of Qur’an. Then you understand how much Allah (AJ) loves you. He’s guiding you. When Allah’s (AJ) love is not that strong for you, you’re like in a dark hole. Yeah, you’re ignorant. As a result of your ignorance, you’re actually very angry. As a result of your anger, you’re like on fire. Then you know you’re distant from God because you’re a fiery person.
It means you’re not knowledgeable. Ignorant people, they’re distant from the Divine. What they’ve done, how they act, what are the circumstances of their existence creates them to be ignorant. That which is ignorant as if in the law of opposites, it turned its direction from moving towards the sun and the warmth and the light, it moves away from it. As a result of its ignorance, becomes very angry because all is darkness, doesn’t understand anything. Anyone in darkness bump their head, they get angry; a couple times, three times, four times, very angry, very fiery people.
Move Towards the Light of Your Creator to Become Illuminated
But once you move towards the light, you’re no longer ignorant. The light illuminates your soul through its dreams, through its hearings, through these channels, through these teachings. It’s a food and a nourishment for the soul. As a result of these lights and enlightenment, they become content. They have good character. As a result, the fire of ignorance within them begins to diminish and the knowledge has power and illuminates.
They call themselves ‘Illuminati,’ but they’re actually naughty. They’re doing bad things. But the truly illuminated ones, they move towards the light and the light of the Creator. They study the books and the teachings of the Creator through the reality of the prophets (as) and as a result, God enlightens their soul, their eyes and their entire being.
Seek Refuge in Allah (AJ) From the Dark Energies Released on Earth
Our life is to understand all of the blessings and grace that God has given to us to find these portals. To live within these portals and to go from portal to portal. Because for some reason, people understand the scientific term. They’re like astonished, ‘Wow! You think, really things are going to open like that? I saw this in this movie.’ They’re seeing now weird, coloured lights in the sky that open up and something happens.
Oh, it’s going to be a lot more than that. The hydrogen colliders are all that. They’re igniting those things and crazy things happen upon this Earth. They’re not telling people. But Mawlana Shaykh (Q) was very disturbed by their activities, acknowledging what they’re doing is very satanic. The bringing of these energies in this dimension when Allah (AJ) gave to us, “Qul a’odhu bi Rabbil falaq.” ‘Seek refuge in Allah (AJ), the Lord of this dark matter.’ Because what they’re going to bring from this matter upon this Earth was not meant.
﴾قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ﴿١
113:1 – “Qul a’odhu bi Rabbil falaq.” (Surat Al-Falaq)
“Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.” (The Daybreak, 113:1)
What Did They Give, in Exchange for Technology?
This ignorance is not meant. This demonic reality is not meant but these shaitans want to come and eat everything and everyone. They have no interest in enlightening people. They gave a little bit of technology and ate hundreds of thousands of people as a result. There’s a show coming out. There was a man who came to President Eisenhower, this Thor something and they made a commitment that, ‘We want to come onto this Earth. We want to do things with people.’ And they gave them technologies. They had advisors that came give technologies. [Note – Please put a note for MSNj if he wants this section in the book]
That’s how they made these star tracks with these mobile phones. All these things, in exchange for what? To eat people. ‘Don’t worry about what we want to do with the people and the population. Here’s some technology. Sell it, advance yourselves.’ So, they have no interest in humanity, definitely not interested in illuminating people. It’s dajjal (man of deceit) and dajjal is a jinn and he’s coming to spread ignorance. He’s coming to create a great deceit.
We Enter Dajjal’s Portal Through Backbiting and Become Walking Dead
Allah (AJ) gave to us through Islam and the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ all these realities and we call them paradise. These are pockets of paradise emanating upon this Earth. If you can live by it, be in it, eat and drink from it, you should be truly successful in your life and your journey upon this Earth. If you lived and died by it, your return back to heaven should be of a paradise reality. But if you got sucked into dajjal’s portal, then the means will be difficult. That’s what’s happening upon this Earth. People are running away from the paradise portals and ending up being sucked into dajjal’s portals where they’re so lost from paradise. They’re so sort of emptied of any light, of any sound, of any vibration that like zombies walking upon the Earth and flesh eaters. Why Prophet ﷺ described the people whom backbite, they are flesh eaters? They eat the flesh of one another when they backbite.
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إبْنِ مَسْعُودْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ .
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ :”تَخَلَّلْ “. قَالَ :وَمَا أَتَخَلَّلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكَلْتُ لَحْمًا ؟قَالَ ﷺ”: إِنَّكَ أَكَلْتَ لَحْمَ أَخِيْكَ “. [ اَلْطَبَرَانِي، اَلْمُعْجَمْ الكَبِيرْ ٩٩٥١]
‘An ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra) qala: Kunna jolusan ‘inda anNabiyi ﷺ, faqama rajolon, fawqa’a fihi rajolon min ba’dihi.
Faqala anNabiyo ﷺ: “takhallal”. Qala: wa ma atakhallalo ya Rasulallahi, akalto lahman?
Qala ﷺ: “innaka akalta lahma akhika.” [Al Tabarani, al Mu’jam al Kabir, 9951]
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra) said: We were sitting with the Prophet (pbuh) when a man stood to leave, then another man spoke badly about him after he left. The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Pick your teeth.” The man said, “O Messenger of Allah, why should I pick my teeth, when I have not eaten meat?”
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “You have eaten the flesh of your brother.” [By Al Tabarani, in the book of Al Mu’jam al Kabir 9951]
That’s all you see on television and movies and every entertainment and every YouTube is somebody backbiting somebody. So, this is now the land of the walking dead, flesh eaters. That’s what the grossness of The Walking Dead movies. They run after you and then all of a sudden, grab to bite your shoulder and your fingers and your ears. Prophet ﷺ told, ‘This is what I told you.’ These are what people are doing. They say hello to you and they eat your ear by backbiting you. They’re eating your flesh by attacking you. Even you don’t know it but this Earth has become land of the walking dead.
Circles of Zikr are Meadows of Paradise on Earth
So, now what Prophet ﷺ…that’s why we said go back now and begin to research in your Islam. Every reference to paradise and how Prophet ﷺ was teaching us that those circles, those portals are right here. Live in them. Graze in them. When you pass the meadows and streams of paradise, sit and graze. One Hadith even Prophet ﷺ is describing, ‘Graze, eat and drink in them.’ Said, ‘What are those meadows of paradise?’ Riyad saliheen (Meadows of the Righteous). These are the halaqas (circles) of zikr (Divine remembrance), the associations of remembrance.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: “إِذَا مَرَرْتُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَعُوا.”
قَالُوا وَمَا رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: “حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ. ” [سُنَنُ التِّرْمِذِيِ ٣٥١٠]
‘An Anasi ibni Malikin (ra) anna Rasulallahi ﷺ qala: “Izaa marartum beriyadil jannati, farta’u.” Qalu: wa ma riyadul jannati? Qala ﷺ: “Hilaquz Zikri [Sunan at-Tirmidhi 3510]
Anas ibn Malik (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, then feast/indulge (in their blessings).”
They said, “What are the gardens of Paradise?” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The circles of Divine remembrance.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3510]
Angels Roam on Earth to Find Halaqa e Zikr (Circles of Remembrance)
Yahya, let’s read the Hadith al Qudsi (Holy Hadith). This is the 14 of 40 Hadith from Imam Nawawi (Q) and this is a Hadith al Qudsi. It means in its category is right next to Qur’an. Holy Qur’an is Allah’s (AJ) Speech and that which Allah (AJ) revealed to Prophet ﷺ that would have made it to be Qur’an but they categorized it as Hadith al Qudsi. Bismillah.
[Not sure if we need this anymore for the article, coz it’s mentioned in hadith below. left here for future reference]
Reciter: Abu Hurairah (as) reported that Prophet ﷺ said, ‘Verily Allah (AJ) Almighty has caravans of angels who have no other work, but to follow gatherings of remembrance. When they find such gatherings in which there is remembrance, they sit with them and some of them surround the others with their wings until the space between them and the heavens is covered.
When they disperse, they ascend to the heavens and Allah (AJ) Almighty asks them, although he knows better than them, ‘From where have you come?’ They say, ‘We came from Your servants on Earth who were glorifying You, declaring Your greatness and Oneness, praising You and asking from You.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘What do they ask from Me?’ They say, ‘They ask for Your paradise’. Allah (AJ) says, ‘Have they seen My paradise?’ They say, ‘No.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘What if they were to see my paradise?’ They say, ‘They seek your protection’. Allah (AJ) says, ‘From what do they seek My protection?’ They say, ‘From Your hellfire our Lord.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘Have they seen My hellfire?’ They say, ‘No’. Allah (AJ) says, ‘What if they were to see My hellfire?’ They say, ‘They ask for Your forgiveness.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘I will pardon them, give them what they request and grant them protection’. They say, ‘Our Lord, there is one among them, a simple servant who happened to pass by and sit there alongside them’. Allah (AJ) says, ‘I will also grant him a pardon for whoever sits with these people will not suffer misery.’

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَلَائِكَةً سَيَّارَةً فُضُلًا فُضُلًا يَتَبَّعُونَ مَجَالِسَ الذِّكْرِ. فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا مَجْلِسًا فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ، قَعَدُوا مَعَهُمْ، وَحَفَّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ، حَتَّى يَمْلَئُوا مَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا. فَإِذَا تَفَرَّقُوا عَرَجُوا وَصَعِدُوا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

Abu Huraira (ra) narrated: The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Verily, Allah, the Owner of blessings and Exalted, Has angels who roam the earth, seeking gatherings of Divinely remembrance. When they find such gatherings in which there is remembrance (of Allah (AJ), they join them and form a circle with their wings around the gathering that extends all the way to the first heaven.
When the people disperse, they ascend to the heavens. Allah Almighty and Sublime asks them, although He Knows everything: “From where have you come?” They respond: “We came from Your servants on earth, who glorify You, proclaim Your Greatness and Oneness, praise You, and ask from You”. Allah (AJ) says: “What do they ask from Me?” They respond: “They ask for Your Paradise.” Allah (AJ) says: “Have they seen My Paradise?” They say “No, O our Lord.” Allah (AJ) says: “How would it be, if they were to see My Paradise?”
Then they say: “And they seek Your protection.” Allah (AJ) says: “From what do they seek My protection?” They respond: “From Your Hellfire, O’ our Lord”. Allah (AJ) says: “Have they seen My Hellfire?” They respond: No. Allah (AJ) says: “How would it be if they were to see My Hellfire?” They say: “They’d ask for Your forgiveness.”
Allah (AJ) says: “I have forgiven them and granted them what they have asked for, and I have given them protection from what they sought safety from.”
They say: “Our Lord, there is one among them, a servant who made mistakes. He happened to pass by and sat with them.” Allah (AJ) says: “And for him, I have granted forgiveness as well. Those people (of zikr) are such that anyone who sits with them shall not be deprived of blessings. ”

[Hadith Qudsi – Authentic by al Bukhari 6408, and Muslim 2689]
Open Your Eyes and Ears to See the Blessings of the Halaqa ul Zikr
MashaAllah wa sadaqah Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger). Whatever Prophet ﷺ brought for us, it’s not something that even can be questioned, the immensity. But we have ears that don’t hear and eyes that definitely don’t see.
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ ۖ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لَّا يُبْصِرُونَ بِهَا وَلَهُمْ آذَانٌ لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ بِهَا ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَالْأَنْعَامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ ﴿١٧٩﴾
7:179 – “Wa laqad zara’naa li jahannama kaseeram minal Jinni wal Insi lahum quloobul laa yafqahoona bihaa, wa lahum a’yunul laa yubisiroona bihaa, wa lahum aazaanul laa yasma’oona bihaa; Olaayika kal an’aami bal hum adhal; Olaayika humul ghaafiloon” (Surat Al-A’raf)
“Many from the Jinns and human beings, We have created for hell: They have hearts with which they don’t understand, they have eyes with which they don’t see, and they have ears with which they don’t hear. They are like cattle, nay they are more misguided. They are heedless (of warning).” (The Heights, 7:179)
The shaykh’s responsibility is to bring you back to a state that, ‘Open your ears from what you heard. And open your eyes’; not your physical eyes that lost in the material world but open the eyes of your heart and your soul and understand what Prophet ﷺ is telling us. That there are angels circumambulating the zikrs (Divine remembrance).
It means a majlis (association) and a center (Naqshbandi Center in Vancouver) in which 12 years of recitation is a complete portal. The angels are not looking for us. They occupy the space. They circumambulate the energy of this space. Doing what? Taking the requests of the space up to the throne of Allah (AJ). The burdens of the association, God’s grace and forgiveness dressing and blessing them. In every food and water and drink, you are doing it in a circle of paradise. If you have belief. You begin to understand, you entered into paradise, and anyone who enters into paradise can never leave paradise. It means then there’s a reality of your light must always be in this association. It must always be dressed from these realities, must always be blessed from these realities. Every action and dress is upon that soul. Every difficulty and mushkilat is being taken by these angels and these are immense powerful portals of the Divinely presence.
Dajjal Doesn’t Want Us to Have the Blessings of Zikr
All who enter into these circles of paradise are dressed, if they have ears to hear and eyes to see. (Holy Quran 7:179 ). Otherwise, they deem this, ‘Huh, what else, whatever.’ But they missed it. They missed the reality and as a result, when they miss it, they don’t understand what they have access to. They don’t respect what they have access to.
They’re definitely not living their life based on that reality. As a result of the difficulty of Earth, they’re being sucked into different places and that’s all that dajjal (man deceit) wants. That’s why the dajjal is so busy in teaching in masjids that, ‘There are no zikrs,’ to get them out of the circle of Allah (AJ), out of the mercy of Allah (AJ). Then playing their music, jumping, dancing and levitating towards his cave in which he plans to eat everyone.
Sayyidina Yahya (as) Approached the Green Throne of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
It means the immensity of the cave. Then they came and now teach that if you sit in your home, play the zikr, these same angels will appear in your home. They’ll circumambulate your living room because you made the intention of majlis of the zikr, majlis of salli alan Nabi ﷺ. That you’re conducting a Milad (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) in your home, praising upon the king of the entire created universe in which God created this entire kingdom for the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
He’s in the book of revelation, the emerald throne in which Sayyidina Yahya, John (as), approached the throne. Say, ‘I see the king and he’s not God and seated next to him is the lamb, Sayyidina Isa (Jesus) (as).’ It’s not a coincidence Madina’s green. It was for them to read emerald throne, emerald turban, green Dome of Madina. They’ve ears but they don’t hear and eyes that they don’t see. (Holy Quran 7:179 )
Create a Heavenly Portal in Your Home Where Angels Will Come to Bless You
These are the portals that Allah (AJ) has given to the nation. That if you want safety, enter these portals. Immediately the zikr starts, turn your living room into that portal. Play the salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) within the house, so that the energy, the angels are coming, pushing away every negativity. You put your food and water, salt, whatever you need as a shifa and healing and it will be dressed and blessed by that. The khatms and the zikrs with the shaykhs, then they are being dressed with that, blessed with that.
We have teas that are here under this building (Rumi’s Rose Garden) like paradise that drink from them. They’re a shifa and a healing. The ta’weezs (prayer for protection), all of these things were meant for a difficulty that’s coming upon this Earth. Thousands of ta’weezs are being distributed. Who did that before? Nobody. Everybody cares about their own chair. They don’t care about anything. They don’t even give an awrad (daily practice) for anyone to do. They claim how great they are and go about their way.
When You Fast, Seven Gates of Paradise Open for You
But the responsibility of guidance is you should have these items from the kingdom because the kingdom of God is coming and it’s not a tailgate party. It’s a community who fasts, wash and clean. Who does that? You think God’s kingdom is a tailgate party, drinking, screaming, yelling? Or it’s a kingdom washed and clean? Cleanliness is nearness to God.
Then Prophet ﷺ described, ‘The one whom fasts immediately enters into paradise and the seven gates…’ Mehdi [a mureed] sent this. So many Hadiths on these realities. As soon as the servant fast, seven gates of paradise are open for them – another portal. [Hds – pending approval]
عَنْ سَهْلِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَابًا يُقَالُ لَهُ اَلرَّيَّانُ، يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ اَلصَّائِمُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ. لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ. يُقَالُ: أَيْنَ الصَّائِمُونَ؟ فَيَقُومُونَ، لَا يَدْخُلُ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُمْ. فَإِذَا دَخَلُوا أُغْلِقَ، فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ. [صَحِيِحْ اَلْبُخَارِي ١٨٩٦، صَحِيحْ مُسْلِم ١١٥٢]
‘An Sahli (ra), ‘an anNabiyi ﷺ qala: “Inna fil jannati baban yuqalou lahu ar rayyanu, yadkhulu minhu as sayimuna yawmal qiyamati. La yadkhulu minhu ahadun ghayrohum. Yuqalu: “Ayna as sayimuna?” Fayaqumuna, la yadkhulu minhu ahadun ghayruhum. Fa izaa dakhalu ughliqa, falam yadkhul minhu ahadun.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 1896, Sahih Muslim 1152]
Sahl (ra) narrated: the Prophet (pbuh) said, “Verily, there is a gate in Paradise called arRayyan, through which only those who fasted will enter on the Day of Resurrection. No one else will enter through it other than them. It will be said: “Where are those who fasted?” They will stand up, no one will enter it except them. When they enter it, it will be closed and no one else will go through it.” [Authentic by al-Bukhari 1896 & Muslim 1152]
Anyone in difficulty, fast that day. Things are not opening for you, fast that day. Even if you can fast intermittent fasting. That you wake up, have only water, make intention, ‘Ya Rabbi, I’m asking to enter into this portal of rahmah (mercy), to the gates of paradise’. As soon as the servant begins the siyam (fasting), not only Ramadan. At any time the servant fast, seven gates of paradise open for them.
Fasting is Your Portal of Protection Against Demonic Energies
Now go back and start reading everything Prophet ﷺ gave to us. Because people are thinking, ‘Oh, paradise when I die.’ Say, ‘No, no, it will open now.’ Because when you start to see the dajjal openings and you’ll be astonished, ‘Wow! How is he doing that? How these things happening? Oh, look at these ships or creatures are coming through these things.’ It requires people to have a bane, ‘No, the shaykhs taught us. Prophet ﷺ brought all of that for us.’ You’re not a people without. Allah (AJ) gave the bounty of paradises and heavens to this nation. Fast and open your portal. Immediately when you feel a danger, begin fasting.
As soon as you fast, a portal is opening. What happens if a demonic energy is coming to attack you and you enter into a portal from paradise? It’s your protection. If at any time you’re in difficulty and distressed, begin siyam and fasting. Prophet ﷺ gave to us, ‘If you’re in difficulty and distress and things are not opening, open your portal of paradise.’
Paradise Portals Exist Here, Why Don’t You Eat From it?
Immediately, put the zikr and the khatm in the house. Sit with the zikr and the khatm playing. The angels have no time. They don’t say, ‘Oh, we only accept this at 8:00 at night.’ Anytime you feel the difficulty, put the YouTube and the khatm and immediately, the majlis and all the angels and the energy is moving, blessing and dressing; anytime the servant feels that the satanic energy is overwhelming.
Allah (AJ) says, ‘I gave you all these portals. Why you don’t believe in them?’ If you call it paradise, you keep thinking it’s for your death. Talking about paradise now. The streams and the meadows of paradise now that are available for us and that eat from them, Prophet ﷺ described.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: “إِذَا مَرَرْتُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَعُوا.”
قَالُوا وَمَا رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: “حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ. ” [سُنَنُ التِّرْمِذِيِ ٣٥١٠]
‘An Anasi ibni Malikin (ra) anna Rasulallahi ﷺ qala: “Izaa marartum beriyadil jannati, farta’u.” Qalu: wa ma riyadul jannati? Qala ﷺ: “Hilaquz Zikri [Sunan at-Tirmidhi 3510]
Anas ibn Malik (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, then feast/indulge (in their blessings).”
They said, “What are the gardens of Paradise?” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The circles of Divine remembrance.” [From Traditions of al-Tirmidhi 3510]
Why you have difficulty and you don’t eat from here? You’re occupied and you are a resident of this community in which there’s an entire portal and every food and rice and grain is from Paradise. Yet you choose to go to the merchants of death and buy goods and sustenance from them. Why you don’t eat from paradise if you have difficulty? Because your faith is weak. Then you wonder why you have difficulties.
Riyadul Jannah and the Presence of Prophet ﷺ in Madina Sharif is a Portal to Paradise
When the faith is strong, the belief is strong. They make their lives in this reality of this portal. That my life has to be in this portal of energy. ‘Ya Rabbi, and I’m asking to be nourished by that energy, blessed by that energy.’
Then Prophet ﷺ said, ‘There is a piece of paradise in Madinatul Munawwara (luminous city of Prophet ﷺ)…’ which all of Madina and all of the presence of Prophet ﷺ is a portal. But even Prophet ﷺ gave, ‘…between my house and my minbar where the green carpet is paradise.’ Again, an immense portal in the presence of the most powerful portal of Allah’s (AJ) creation.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ( رضى الله عنه ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ “ مَا بَيْنَ بَيْتِي وَمِنْبَرِي رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَمِنْبَرِي عَلٰى حَوْضِي ”. (صَحِيحُ الْبُخَارِيِّ ١١٩٦)
‘An Abi Hurayrah (Radiyallahu ‘anhu) ‘anin Nabiyi ﷺ qala: ‘Ma bayna bayti wa minbari rawdhatun min riyadhil jannati, wa minbari ‘ala hawdhi.'”
The Prophet (pbuh) said, “Between my house and my pulpit there is a garden of the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit is on my pond of abundance (Kawthar).” [Sahih al Bukhari, Hadith # 1196]
Run to the Cave of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to Be Dressed by Rahmah
It means we started with the understanding of a mountain. That Allah (AJ) gave to us these caves. Run to them, be with these mountains. They represent the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. As soon as you love them and enter into them, then you’re asking for the dress, what Allah (AJ), ‘We’ll dress you from a rahmah. Don’t worry and we settle your affairs’. It means your things will become settled.
﴾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)
Strengthen Your Faith to See Allah’s (AJ) Blessings in These Gardens
Then you listen to their guidance is eat from that paradise, drink from that paradise. If somebody is doing magic on you, you don’t know what that eat and drink has. It is your shifa. It’s your healing. It’s your sustenance. Everything is coming from that paradise reality to relieve your hardship. But people want it to be no longer with faith, but they want it to be like a visual, right? They want to see the shining lights. They want to see the food is glowing and then as a result, then they’ll take it for healing. But this is the land of iman (faith) and this way is the way of faith. That you have to believe in Allah (AJ). You have to believe in the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ that this is a paradise.
As a result with your belief that I eat and drink from that reality. I pray in that reality. I make du’a (supplication) in that reality and ya Rabbi, dress me from that reality, bless me from that reality. Anytime I need, I fast and enter into that reality. That everything that’s happening then has to do with these things that are opening upon this Earth. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us an understanding of how to enter this.
Busy Yourself in Circles of Zikr, Not in Worldly Distractions
Now we’re in Surat Al-Kahf and Surat Al-Kahf is all about the adab (manners) of this portal. That seek a life like Ashab ul Kahf. Where we ended at the last one about the importance of the mountain looking at you. Verse 28 was thrown in there like a catch-all clause in a contract.
﴾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)
That don’t busy yourself with the people of hayat ad dunya (life of material world), these big amirs. They look like they’re doing a lot but they do absolutely a lot of nothing. But the gaze of Prophet ﷺ, by command of Allah (AJ), be upon those whom they busy themselves in that cave. They busy themselves in the circles of zikr. They busy themselves with their zikr asking Allah’s (AJ) Holy Face, asking Allah (AJ) forgiveness. It means Ahle Zikr (People of Divinely Remembrance).
That the immensity of that reality that you’re going to be under that gaze and under that rahmah. You’ll be under the nazar (gaze) of Prophet ﷺ because these are the people of Ashab ul Kahf, the people whom ran to the cave of Allah (AJ). That they’re continuously under the dress of angels and malaika blessing them, dressing them, taking away every type of difficulty from them.
[From this point till the end is not included in this article for 6PH Book.
Even Nabi Musa (as) Couldn’t Handle the Light of Prophet ﷺ
Then Allah (AJ) begins to enter into the qissah and the story of Sayyidina Musa (as). The one whom speaks to Allah (AJ) wants to understand one of these very powerful Muhammadan caves. Because he had asked to see Allah (AJ) before that event. Surat Al-Kahf brings us post-Nabi Musa’s (as) vision. So in the timeline Nabi Musa (as) asked, ‘I want to see you, O Allah (AJ).’ Allah (AJ), ‘You can’t see Me. Look to My Glory. If you remain there once I show that glory, we can talk later.’ They say the light of Prophet ﷺ appeared and Nabi Musa (as) passed like dust, was gone. That he couldn’t contain the light of Allah (AJ), he couldn’t even contain the light of Prophet ﷺ. As a result, khashiya (dust) and then was revived, brought back to life in a different reality.
﴾وَلَمَّا جَاءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَانِي وَلَـٰكِنِ انظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٤٣
7:143 – “Wa lamma jaa Musa limeeqatina wa kallamahu Rabbuhu, qala rabbi arinee anzhur ilayka, Qala lan taranee wa lakini onzhur ilal jabali fa inistaqarra makanahu, fasawfa taranee, falamma tajalla Rabbuhu lil jabali ja`alahu, dakkan wa kharra Musa sa`iqan, falamma afaqa qala subhanaka tubtu ilayka wa ana awwalul Mumineen.” (Surat Al-A’raf)
“And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [Allah] said, “you will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in its place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord manifested His glory on the mountain, He made it as dust, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke/recovered his senses, he said, “Glory be to You! to You I turn in repentance, and I am the first of the believers.” (The Heights. 7:143)
Nabi Musa (as) Wanted to Reach Where the Two Rivers of Kalima Meet
That his station as a prophet of Allah (AJ) was to be nothing. ‘I want to see the Muhammadan haqqaiq (realities) in which he witnessed the glory of his Lord. As a result of being revived after what he witnessed, ‘Ana awwalul Muslimeen’; basically, his shahadah (testimony of faith) reconfirmed for the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. ‘Muslimeen and I’m one whom submits under the Muhammadan kingdom. As a result, I don’t want anymore this stuff, I want where the two rivers meet. I will seek my life to reach to where the two rivers meet.’ “La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ” (“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah)”. The secret of where “La ilaha illAllah hey-waw-meem,” where the Hu points to Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. ‘That’s what I want, ya Rabbi’.
﴾وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا ﴿٦٠
18:60 – “Wa idh qala Mosa lefatahu laa abrahu hatta ablugha majma’a albahrayni aw amdiya huquba.” (Surat Al-Kahf)
“Behold, Moses said to his attendant, I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travel.” (The Cave, 18:60)
The Dead Fish Coming Back to Life Was a Sign for Nabi Musa (as)
He set out with Joshua and they went for the servant who can teach them about that reality. They had with them dried fish as their lunch. Journeying, journeying, journeying, they stopped somewhere and Yashua (as) was preparing lunch. He put the dead fish on a rock. I guess they talked about something, turned around, the fish came to life and jumped into the water. Hout (fish), the hout came to life and jumped into the water. Then they went. Say, ‘Let’s have some of that fish, I’m hungry.’ He said, ‘This is ajeeb, bizarre. When we were back there, this fish I put out a dead, dried fish. It came to life and jumped into the water and went.’ He (Musa (as)) said, ‘That was the sign I was looking for.
﴾فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَـٰذَا نَصَبًا ﴿٦٢﴾ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ الْحُوتَ وَمَا أَنسَانِيهُ إِلَّا الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ ۚ وَاتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا ﴿٦٣
18:62-63 – “Falammaa jaawazaa qaala lifataahu aatinaa ghadaaa’anaa laqad laqeena min safarinaa haazaa nasabaa. (62) Qaala ara’ayta iz awainaaa ilas sakhrati fa innee naseetul hoota wa maaa ansaaneehu illash Shaitaanu an azkurah; wattakhaza sabeelahoo fil bahri’ajabaa (63)” (Surat Al-Kahf)
“So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, “Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue. (62) He said, “Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan – that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly (63)”. (The Cave, 18:62-63)
Sayyidina Khidr (as) Was Carrying the Secret of Reviving the Hearts
There’s a servant who carries the secret of hayat, of eternal life and the fountain of life. Let us retreat back to that point.’ It means what? That servant was not visible because he was standing there with a beard. Everyone would have seen him, Sayyidina Khidr (as). He again passed now towards a portal and the signs of that portal was that it brings the dead to life, dead to life. They’re not in the business of resurrecting dead bodies because they don’t want to see a bunch of dead people come to life. But what’s the dearest for God is the dead heart. The heart that is giving up hope on this Earth, it is given up and is giving up. They have the ability, those servants of that portal, to revive the dead and the dead hearts. That if you come and sit in their associations, the knowledge and the energy from their vibration will bring your dead heart to life; more important than fish and miraculous things like that.
Nabi Musa (as) Meditated and Retraced His Steps to Find Khidr (as)
That was a sign and isharat. These are stories from Allah (AJ) towards creation. That one whom talks to God, always think yourself you’re never high. The one who speaks to God didn’t understand this secret and wanted this knowledge. As soon as he appeared and went back and traced his steps. Because the first time he missed him. It means now he came back with more accuracy, more consciousness, more sincerity. As a result of understanding that sign was there, use your tafakkur (contemplation), he was able then to identify Sayyidina Khidr (as). Why passed, first time passed it?
It means in life, if you don’t slow down and don’t refocus, what are you trying to achieve on this journey? You say you’re trying to achieve a reality, but you passed your fish. ‘Oh Shaykh, we’re trying to get a reality,’ but your fish jumped in water and took off. He had to come back and retrace his journey a little bit slower, probably this time, looking for all the signs, meditating, contemplating until he could see the unseen prophet (as) of Allah (AJ).
Khidr (as) is the Living Powerful Portal of Knowledge
There began the discussion with an unseen prophet (as) of Allah (AJ) that comes from a very powerful portal of knowledge and realities. That when Sayyidina Khidr (as) appears, he opens up. He’s like the moving portal of the Divinely Presence. That when people are stuck and they call upon rijaullah (men of God), one of the abilities of Sayyidina Abbas Khidr (as) is to appear and to take away difficulty from them, even move them through space and time to a different reality. So many who used to sail on the oceans and have difficulty, they would call upon Allah (AJ) and rijalullah. As soon as they would have difficulties, Sayyidina Khidr (as) would come to resolve the difficulty or physically take them and save them as a najat (salvation) from Allah (AJ).[
So, it means these are immense realities throughout the whole history of Islam, throughout the whole reality of Holy Qur’an. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us an ability to slow it down, contemplate and to begin to identify where all these portals are. That any time Prophet ﷺ is describing the opening of a paradise reality, that is a portal upon this Earth; a portal of energy that saves the servant from the immensity of darkness, inshaAllah.
