From the realities of Mawlana Shaykh (Q) as taught by Shaykh Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi

اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْم

﴾يْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ‌ خَيْرٌ‌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ‌ ﴿٣

97:3 – “Laylatul Qadre khairum min alfe shahr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.” (The Power, 97:3)

Nine is a Miraculous Number

It means the building block of numbers, nine being the most powerful. 10, 11, 12, they all become double-digit they can be reduced to a single digit. The highest single-digit, 9, and representing submission. That nine by itself is a miraculous number. After the nine comes a nuqt (dot) which the abd (servant of Allah (AJ)) enters into the oceans of submission. It’s not a coincidence that Ramadan is on the ninth month (of the lunar calendar). That has to do with the oceans of taslim and the oceans of submission in which the servant cannot reach that reality without Allah’s (AJ) ni’mat (blessing) and rahmah (mercy). That, ‘I want to dress you from these realities. That Allah (AJ) is teaching Prophet ﷺ, Prophet ﷺ teaching ulul amr, “Atiullah, atiur Rasul, wa ulul amre minkum.” That, ‘I want to dress you from these realities and the oceans of taslim (submission).’

﴾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)

Allah (AJ) Rewards Your Fasting

As soon as you enter into the ninth month, you are entering into the oceans of submission. And what Allah (AJ) wants for us to reach that ni’mat (blessing) and the ultimate dress of rahmah (mercy) is sawm Ramadan (fasting of Ramadan). It means you begin to fast because that dress is not something we can achieve by ‘amal (action). It’s the highest reward for a non-action ‘amal. Allah (AJ) says, ‘I want to dress you from these realities. Don’t do anything. Make now an abstinence from everything so that We can dress you from these powers, dress you from these qudrahs.’

Lailatul Qadr Has Nine Letters in Arabic

Then Mawlana Shaykh (Q) is teaching that suratul Qadr for Laylatul Qadr (Night of Power). It means that Laylatul Qadr is nine letters. And Allah (AJ) is teaching us within Holy Qur’an that these nine letters represent the reality of that nine that we’re trying to reach to the Qadr, Laylatul Qadr. In the surah, it is nine huroof (letters).

Because there are people coming and say we don’t know what day this is. You don’t know what day it is, but the people of ma’rifah, they know everything. That Allah (AJ) wants them to know. They are not blind and they are not going through things blind. That is the concept of ma’rif (knowing). The people who know according to their darajahs (level) and there is a higher knower above every knower. But from just the basic understandings of taslim (submission) and qudra (power), “Anzalnaahu fee laylatil-qadr.”

﴾إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ‌ ﴿١

97:1 – “Inna anzalnaahu fee laylatil-qadr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“We have brought it down on the night of power.” (The Power, 97:1)

Secret of the Number 9 and Fusion

It means that those nine letters appears three times in that surah (chapter). Allah (AJ) wants us to know. It is all coded. That 9×3 is 27. It is on the 27^th of Ramadan because it is a baab, it’s a gate. That 27 has a tremendous secret. It is the reflection of a heavenly gate which is at 72. And both of them, 2+7 become 9. Everything, what you call it, every component, every multiple of nine, reduces itself back to nine.

9×3 = 27, 2+7 = 9

9×4 = 36, 3+6 = 9

It means the fusion with this Bahrul Qudra (Ocean of Power), with this entity of Muhammadan light is so powerful that anything that multiplies, multiply is the reality of fusion. When you multiply yourself by that number, it will reduce itself back to that number. It means what you multiply into the ocean; when you come for the fana (annihilation) of this Bahrul Qudra which is the Muhammadan light, anything that enters into that will reduce itself to the Muhammadan light. That’s why one light plus one light is one light. There can be no two.

The world, the form has multiple. The world of light, it always goes back to Allah’s (AJ) Oneness. La ilaha illAllah, we can never reach. Its manifestation, its mirror image is Muhammadun RasulAllah. It means Allah (AJ) wants to dress us from these realities.

لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ الله

“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah”

“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

There are Three Nines in every month

There are three nines in every month. So, suratul Qadr, is describing that Laylatul Qadr is the power of nine. Nine huroofs to the reality of nine, (Laylatul Qadr is mentioned) three times in the surah.

﴾ إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ﴿١﴾ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ﴿٢﴾ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ ﴿٣

97:1-3 – “Innaa anzalnaahu fee Lailatil qadr. (1) Wa maa adraaka ma Lailatul qadr (2) Lailatul qadri khairum min alfee shahr. (3)” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“We have brought it down on the night of power. (1) And what will explain to you what the night of power is? (2) The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. (3)” (The Power, 97:1-5)

For us, it is to understand that everything is perfectly numbered. And the gate that you’re looking for is based on 27.

﴾وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا ﴿٢٨…

72:28 – “…wa ahata bima ladayhim wa ahsa kulla shay in ‘adada.” (Surat Al-Jinn)

“… and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.” (The Jinn, 72:28)

Every month has three nines: the 9^th of the month, the 18^th of the month, and the 27^th of the month.

9
18, 1+8 = 9
27, 2+7 = 9

It means there are three qadrs in every month. Because every month has its tajalli (manifestation). Every month has its reality, every month has its huroof (letters). Every day of every month has a huroof. The white days are the beginning of the month moving towards the fullness of the moon. The dark days after the fullness of the moon, the retreating of the moon from the light of the sun means then waning of the moon because that light is going. It means they are teaching us that, in every month, there are three qadrs (powers).

Three Baabs (Gates) of Ramadan

عَنْ سَلْمَانِ اَلْفَارِسِيْ رَضِيْ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنْ رَسُوْلُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قال: ” شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ أَوَّلُهُ رَحْمَةٌ ، وَأَوْسَطُهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ ، وَآخِرُهُ عِتْقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ.”
[المصدر: الإمَامْ اَلْألْبَانِي ( مِشْكَاةْ اَلْمَصَابِيحْ) ، كتاب ٧، حديث ٩]

‘An Salman al Farsi (ra), an Rasulullahiﷺ qala: “Shahru Ramadana awwalahu rahmatun, wa awsatuhu maghfiratun, wa akhiruhu ‘itqun minan naar.”
[Al Imam al Albani, Meshkatal Misbah, Kitab 7, Hadith 9]

Narrated by Salman al Farsi (ra), that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The first (ten days) of the month of Ramadan is mercy, the middle (ten days) is forgiveness, and the last (ten days) is salvation/freedom from the fire.” [Source: Al Imam al Albani, Meshkat al Masabih – 1965, Book 7, Hadith 9]

1. First Gate is Rahmah (Mercy)

…شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ أَوَّلُهُ رَحْمَةٌ

“Shahru Ramadana awwalahu rahmatun…”

“The first (ten days) of the month of Ramadan is mercy…”

Then what Prophet ﷺ described for Ramadan, that the first ten days is a mercy. Why? Because that’s the first qadr. Up to the first nine, you have been dressed from the Baab ur Rahmah (Gate of Mercy). The Baab ur Rahmah that they taught us in Surat at-Tawbah, surah 9. Because now this is from the realities of ahlul nine, the people of qudra and power. That Allah (AJ) is dressing from tawbah (repentance) because you have to make a tawbah and there is no “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem” in Surat at-Tawbah.

It means that don’t come asking that, ‘Allah (AJ), don’t let us to reach.’ It means “Bismillah, Allahu Akbar,” to be sacrificed and all bad characteristics to be taken away. So, ahle tawbah (people of repentance) teaching us if you want to come into this Baab ur Rahmah. The first nine days of that will be the Baab ur Rahmah and dressing. And then as soon as the ninth night becomes a Laylatul Qadr, it has its own dress of understanding. A qadr (power) comes, changes the tajalli (manifestation).

2. Second Gate is Maghfirah (Forgiveness)

…وَأَوْسَطُهُ مَغْفِرَةٌ

“…wa awsatahu maghfirah,…”

“…the middle (ten days) is forgiveness…”

Now the second ten days of Ramadan is based on Baab ul Maghfirah (Gate of Forgiveness). If you came and made your tawbah, with a sincere tawbah (repentance), that, ‘Ya Rabbi, let me to lose my thoughts. Let me to lose my characteristics. Let me to vanish and to be nothing and to destroy all these bad characteristics.’ Allah (AJ) takes us into the second oceans of power, the second qadr, which are the days of maghfirah (forgiveness). And alhamdulillah, within tonight or tomorrow night depending upon when people believe that they started their Ramadan, these are the oceans are maghfirah.

It means who is Allah’s (AJ) Rahmah (mercy)? It is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That first ocean of power, Allah (AJ) opens us into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ light, Nurul Muhammadi, that the Rahmatal lil’alameen (mercy to creation).

﴾وَمَا أَرْ‌سَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَ‌حْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٠٧

21:107 – “Wa maa arsalnaka illa Rahmatal lil’alameen.” (Surat Al-Anbiya)

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad (pbuh)], except as a mercy to the worlds/creation.” (The Prophets, 21:107)

All of what awliyaullah are teaching us that when they are oppressors to themselves. If they come to you, ya RasulAllah, that you pray for them, for their forgiveness.

﴾وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُ‌وا اللَّـهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ‌ لَهُمُ الرَّ‌سُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّـهَ تَوَّابًا رَّ‌حِيمًا ﴿٦٤

4:64 – “Wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum jaooka fastaghfaro Allaha wastaghfara lahumur Rasolu lawajado Allaha tawwaban raheema.”  (Surat An-Nisa)

“And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.”  (The Women, 4:64)

That is the power of Ramadan. That Allah (AJ) wants to dress us from these qadrs (powers), wants to give us these maqams (stations), these lights, and these darajahs (levels), but most of all wants us to be with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Otherwise, what is the purpose of Allah (AJ) giving all creation of samawati wal ard (heavens and earth) for Prophet ﷺ to be alone? The greatness of the creation is the kingdom I give you (to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), that these are all inside your kingdom. But they have to be dressed by their darajats, dressed by these realities and Allah (AJ) then is dressing and granting that mercy.

If you are been opened into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, then the second power comes. And the second ten days which are the days of forgiveness. That through the fasting of the second ten days that Prophet ﷺ is making intercession upon the soul. That fixing all of its impurities, fixing all of its incorrectness and asking Allah (AJ) for forgiveness, asking Allah (AJ) for forgiveness. And for the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, no doubt in our hearts that Allah (AJ) accepting what Prophet ﷺ is asking. Because this is very small compared to what Prophet ﷺ is in control of.

But for us to come into that reality, it means keeping the honor of Islam and the ‘izzat of Ramadan is showing the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. All the world is astonished that how these two billion people are fasting and they uphold the flag of their prophet? They keep the honor of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Because they don’t know Allah (AJ), but they see these Muhammadiyon, that how they’re so strong? And how much rahmah (mercy) they have that they fast these days and they accomplish these mercies? And this is Allah’s (AJ) ni’mat (blessing). This is Allah’s (AJ) rahmah upon us. That for the love of Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) allows our souls to enter these realities, to be dressed by these realities.

3. Third Gate is Freedom From Fire

وَآخِرُهُ عِتْقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ

“…wa akhiruhu `itqun min an naar.”

“…and the last (ten days) is salvation/freedom from the fire“

And on the 18th becomes the third qudra that is dressing that month. “‘Itqun min an naar” means freedom from hellfire. If you have been dressed by rahmah, granted Allah’s (AJ) maghfirah, then Allah (AJ) says, ‘You are free from hellfire.’ It means that the place that your soul was going to occupy in jahannum (hellfire), it will be exchanged with your place in paradise. And that’s why then they call those are the nights of Qadr. When Prophet ﷺ asked that in the last ten days of Ramadan, make ‘itikaf. Why? So that you can be dressed by these qudrahs (powers), blessed by these qudrah. And ahlul ma’rifah, their whole life is ‘itikaf. Their whole life is a life of constantly isolating themselves to enter into these oceans of power. But what Prophet ﷺ wanted is that for all the ummah (nation) whose not taking the way of tafakkur (contemplation) and not taking the way of ‘itikaf, at least the last ten days of Ramadan, enter into that ‘itikaf.

And Mawlana (Q) describes that the realities of ‘itikaf (seclusion), the way of tafakkur (contemplation), the way of muraqabah (meditation) is Allah (AJ) describes that it is like a seed. If you hold a date’s seed – we are eating the dates – if you look at the date’s seed, it is most miraculous thing that you can look at. How Allah (AJ) can open this amazingly hard seed? And from this seed, a shaq, a plant will appear and from that plant, an entire tree with all its fruits and may give thousands of fruits for its generation of its existence. And Allah (AJ) says, ‘Is that harder – the date seed harder to open or your heart? And the dressings and the blessings I want to put upon your soul.’

Plant Your Seeds in ‘Itikaf (Seclusion)

But most of humanity, they keep themselves like a seed. And they walk around with that seed all their life and they wonder, ‘How come this seed didn’t become a tree? And how come this tree is bearing no fruit?’ And the ahlul ma’rifah come into our life and teach that these are the days and these are the times that make ‘itikaf. Slow your work down. What are you working so hard for? That, go into yourself. Go into your heart. Go into your realities. Otherwise, your seed will always be a seed. That seed has to enter into the dirt. Allah (AJ) gave what dirt? The teen (soil). Allah (AJ) said, ‘I created your body from the dirt.’

﴾وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن سُلَالَةٍ مِّن طِينٍ ﴿١٢

23:12 – “Wal laqad khalaqna al Insana min sulalatin min Teen.”  (Surat Al-Muminoon)

“And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay (water and dirt).” (The Believers, 23:12)

Go back into yourself. Plant yourself inside your heart. Go into your heart. That is the planting of our seed. As soon as we plant within ourself, then the water of zikr (Divine remembrance), the water of salawat (praises) on Prophet ﷺ allows the fruit to begin to grow. If that fruit grows, it becomes a tree. If that tree grows, it gives fruit that everybody can eat from it and be blessed from and take its benefits from. That is the realities of Qadr. That is the reality of ahle tafakkur (people of contemplation).

When people are not understanding, they don’t understand then what Prophet ﷺ was given. Why he asked in Ramadan to make tafakkur and make ‘itikaf? Because knowing the majority of people, they won’t do it in their life. But at least in this one state of sawm and fasting, that take its maximum benefit and go within yourself. Plant the seed within yourself. Water it and nourish it with zikrullah (remembrance of Allah (AJ)) and salawat (praises) on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that we can begin to feel its fruits, see its fruits, and people to eat from its fruits. And that’s what Prophet ﷺ wanted for us.

Ahlul Qadr (People of Power) Spend Their Lives in Contemplation

When the people say that, ‘Is there tafakkur (contemplation) in Islam?’ Yes, ‘itikaf of Ramadan! And the people ofQadr, their whole life is that reality. We tried to describe before but when you put numbers, people get confused. Ahlul Qadr means when Allah (AJ) dresses a servant, they are from the servants of tafakkur. They spent their whole life planting their seed, finding their errors, finding their mistakes, and going deep within their being and keeping the company of mashayikh (guides) who are all ahle tafakkur – all the people of contemplation. That they are the people of Qadr.

When they have been prepared and they have been dressed and then Allah (AJ) is going to give them Laylatul Qadr. Layla (night) means that they annihilated themselves. The night stands for annihilation, that you no longer manifesting like the daytime. Be like the night and make your manifestation to be non-existent. It means constantly annihilate yourself, constantly efface yourself, constantly criticize yourself. Come against yourself and enter into that reality. Then when their whole life is being prepared, prepared, prepared.

What Allah (AJ) Gives of Qadr, He doesn’t Take Back

What is the reality of Laylatul Qadr? It is Allah (AJ), if He dresses that servant from the reality of Laylatul Qadr, their whole life is based on that reality. One of the things people are not understanding, myself included, is that when Allah (AJ) gives, Allah (AJ) never takes away. When Allah (AJ) dresses that servant from Laylatul Qadr, from whatever point – if they reached it ten years ago, they reached it 15 years ago or they are going to reach it this year – as soon as they reach that reality, they are eternally dressed by that reality. Allah (AJ) doesn’t give a gift one year and say, ‘I’m going to give you Laylatul Qadr and now never again, you are going to see Laylatul Qadr.’ souls and light

It means they are the servants of Qadir. They are dressed with a noble dress of light upon their souls Allah (AJ) has no time. From malakut (heavenly realm) when the order comes that that servant is going to reach My qudra (power), that soul is going to be entered into these oceans of power. They never leave that ocean. They are always in a Laylatul Qadr.

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

Formula for Lailatul Qadr and Barakah (Blessing) of Ahlul Qadr

Allah (AJ) wants us to understand the barakah (blessing) of these souls is if you take just one day of their understanding. Allah (AJ) says, ‘Their one day of Laylatul Qadr is 1000 months.’

﴾لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ‌ خَيْرٌ‌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ‌ ﴿٣

97:3 – “Laylatul Qadre khairum min alfe shahr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.” (The Power, 97:3)

Lailtul Qadr, Allah (Azza wa Jal) now gives the formula for people who do not believe in what barakah is, is that this `abdul qadr (the servant of Power) who have been dressed by Lailatul Qadr, their day is like 30,000 of your (days) because 1,000 months.

1 Night is like 1,000 months! There are 30 days in a month, you multiply, it gives 30,000. It means there are 30,000 days. So you have to do 30,000 days to equal their one day.

1 Night = 1000 Months = 30,000 days

1000 months equals in one day, 30,000 rewards because 30 days, 1 month. So, forget about everyday but just to understand for us that when Allah (AJ) gives, He gives eternally. But the one day of Ahlul Qadr, Allah (AJ) wants us to understand that darajah (level). That when this Abdul Qadr and the servants of my oceans of power, they are like 30,000 of your days. Their one day of five salah (prayer), you have to do 30,000 five salahs to equal them. It means you have to make 150,000 salah to equal their one day of five prayers.

Worship of Abdul Qadr (Wali) Vs. Common People

So, when people don’t understand, ‘Why you have to be with these people for barakah (blessing)? Allah (AJ) is giving the formula, the numeric value of that barakah. So, you want to know barakah? Their five prayers – you got to pray 150,000 prayers to equal their one day. One day! Then Allah (AJ), this is the people who don’t want to be with them. That you don’t see what you’re missing from accompanying them; that you have to do 150,000 prayers. And the servant that does accompany them will be dressed by them. So, when you pray one set of prayers with them, it’s like 150,000 salah have been given to you. This is from Allah (AJ).

If you give that servant $1, it’s as if you have to give the person who doesn’t believe in these Abdul Qadrs. If you give this person $1, Allah (AJ) describing, ‘You have to spend $30,000 to equal the $1 you gave this Abdul Qadr.’

This is Allah’s formula, not ours. And if you did give them $1, what’s your reward? $30,000. Because they are the multiples of 30,000. If you gave them one dollar in that day, Allah (AJ) describes by that formula, it is as if you’ve been given a reward of $30,000. If you make one Allah with them, you may sit with them for one time and say Allah. The one who is not with them makes 30,000 Allahs to equal their one Allah. This is the formula. Allah (AJ) says, “Salamun, hiya hatta matla’il Fajr.”

﴾سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ‌ ﴿٥

97:5 – “Salamun, hiya hatta matla’il Fajr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (The Power, 97:5)

That they have salaam (peace) until Fajr. THat`s just their one day. That I`m giving them 30,000 equivalent. So their one ALlah, you have to make 30,000 Allahs. It means their one day, the salaam (peace) all the way to Fajr, is like a thousand months.

Abdul Qadr are Suns of Power – They Give without distinction

That is just their one day that I am giving them 30,000 equivalent. For their one Allah, you have to make 30,000 Allahs. And the one who accompanies them, why they have barakah? Because as soon as they say one Allah in their presence, Allah (aj) dresses them with 30,000 Allahs.

Because the Abdul Qadr and the servants of the oceans of Power, they don’t keep what comes to them. They are like a sun. Whatever Allah dress upon their soul, they magnify out towards creation. Whoever sits upon their beach, they dress them from their sun. As this physical dunya sun, it doesn’t distinguish. You sit on the beach, you will be dressed by the sun. That is the imitated sun.

The suns of Qadr means the souls whom Allah (AJ) dress from this Qadr, they give more generous than that sun. If you eat one loqma (bite) with them one bite with them, like 30,000. If you pray one salah with them, like 30,000. If you give $1 to them, like 30,000. That is Laylatul Qadr.

That Allah give that everyday and there are darajahs. And Allah (AJ) describes, `There is another day like 50,000 years. Because the darajahs of these Abdul Qadrs and these awliyaullah are infinite in their understanding. Allah (AJ) gives another daleel (proof) in Qur’an, that the one day like 50,000 of your years, where the angels and the ruh (soul) is coming. The angel and the ruh, when Allah (AJ) describing, ‘When I’m dressing them from qadr, it means that every angel and the reality of what that ruh stands for, with every order of mine is dressing upon their soul.’

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

It means every amr, every order from Allah (AJ) dresses their soul. This is what gives their soul majesty and qudra. That’s the reality of Laylatul Qadr. And Prophet ﷺ makes that sweeter, but we won’t go in that tonight. That if you make one hour of tafakkur (contemplation) because these are the people of tafakkur. If you make one hour of tafakkur, it’s like 70 years of worship for somebody else.

 تَفَكُرْ سَاعَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ سَبْعِينْ سَنَةً 

“Tafakkur sa’atin khairun min ‘Ibadati sab’een sanatan.”

“One hour of contemplation is more valuable than seventy years of worship” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

It means now Prophet ﷺ sweetened the deal. Allah (AJ) says, ’83 years for the whole day.’ Prophet ﷺ said, ‘For one hour of these ahle tafakkur, their one hour is like 70 years of your worshipness.’ One hour. 24 hours in a day because their entire day is worship, even their sleep is worship for Allah (AJ). Their entire day is 1700 years. Prophet ﷺ now increased that barakah (blessing) and increased that reality. That one day with them, like 1700 years. If you made one prayer with them, Prophet ﷺ teaching, ‘You have to pray 1700 years.’ If Allah (AJ) gives you 1700 to be one salah (prayer) with these ahle qadr and ahle tafakkur. You can’t be ahle qadr without tafakkur.

That’s what Prophet ﷺ said, that, ‘Make itikaf!’ You want to reach these realities, then slow your running down. Slow your distraction down. Go back to where Allah (AJ) wants you is in the heart. Because in the heart, you make your tafakkur and these realities begin to open. We pray that Mawlana Shaykh (Q) give more and more understanding and dress us from Laylatul Qadr, dress us from realities of Holy Qur’an, dress us from love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and from light of awliyaullah.

Subhanaka rabbil ‘izzati ‘ama yasifoon. Wa salaamun ‘alal Mursaleen. Wal Hamdullilahi Rabbil ‘alameen. Bi hurmati Muhammadil Mustafa, wa bi sir Suratul Fatiha.
