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

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Alhamdulillahhir Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu wa Salaam Ashrafil Mursaleen Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad ul Mustafa ﷺ Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem Ya Habib ul Azeem unzur halana wa ishfalana wa abina bi madadakum wa nazarakum, Madad Ya Sayyidi Ya Sultanul Awliya Shaykh Abdullahil Faizad Daghestani Sultanul Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil Haqqani wa Sultanul Qulubina Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani Madad al Haqq Ya Hujjatullahi al Mukhlis.

Ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and if not by the grace of Allah (AJ), we would cease to exist. That Allah’s (AJ) oceans of rahmah and mercy, inshaAllah, to dress us, to bless us, and to perfect us. Alhamdulillah, from Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Atiullah atiur Rasul wa ulil amri minkum.

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)

Everything Exists Within the Ocean of Muhammadan RasulAllah ﷺ

From the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh (Q), that from malakut (heavenly realm) and the world, a timeless world of realities, that more important than the physical, that by moving always towards the spiritual understanding and the spiritual importance has a timeless reality. That all that they come to teach us so that it can – all the knowledges pulled together. That we have to understand that we’re from an ocean of creation. That light is called Muhammadan Rasulallah ﷺ and that everything exists within the ocean of Muhammadan Rasulallah ﷺ. That nothing exists within Allah (AJ), but Allah (AJ) is the power of all existence.

It means you cannot be one with Allah (AJ). You cannot be in a space with Allah (AJ). So, everything has to be within an ocean of creation. When that is understood by the seeker of realities, then we can begin to understand when Allah (AJ), “Khalaqal insaan na min nafs al-wahid.”

﴾خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا…﴿٦

39:6 – “Khalaqakum min nafsin wahidatin thumma ja’ala minha zawjaha…” (Surat Az-Zumar)

“He created you (all) from one soul: then created, of like nature, his mate…” (The Troops, 39:6)

That we have created this insan (mankind) and we have created this creation from one nafs. Many traditions and religions understood that, as if you kill one, you have killed all. If you kill one soul, as if you have killed the whole ocean. It means that it’s a unified ocean of realities, that all light coming from one ocean. All its magnificent manifestations and universes and creation, still within one ocean. All of that manifesting in that reality.

Enter Muharram Through the Baab at-Tawbah, Gate of Repentance

In this holy month of Muharram is a Baab at-Tawbah (Gate of Repentance). This is a gate of repentance on an eternal journey of realities. That from every…the importance of the circle is that from every beginning of a journey, from Muharram, we go all the way to 12 months, all the way to the hajj. The hajj is the pilgrimage to that reality, to be dressed by that reality. Again, Muharram begins because we’re on an eternal journey to perfect our soul. Its never anyone perfected and completed, but it’s eternally a process that to keep raising the darajat (station). When we understand that reality, then they become and teach that in this Ashura, every nation was saved and every prophet had a reality.

From the great prophets of the Divinely presence, they have an eternal reality in which we’re to complete because they want to teach us; not just the history lesson, but how do we apply this reality in our life? What is it that Allah (AJ) wants now from us to complete our soul’s journey? That’s the difference between the people of tariqah (spiritual path) who are following realities is that Allah (AJ) inspired them that sit with them because you have to complete your soul’s journey. Don’t waste your time on physicality and physical issues. That reach towards the reality of your soul and your spiritual journey.

Each Prophet Has an Eternal Message With Which to Dress Us

So, come and teach for us that Sayyidina Adam (as) was granted his repentance on Ashura. It means then every seeker of realities should have an Adamic dress that they achieve. That when they achieve it, then they can go to the next prophet. From Sayyidina Adam (as) to Sayyidina Nuh (as), Sayyidina Ibrahim (as), Sayyidina Musa (as), Sayyidina Isa (as), Jesus Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

This is an eternal journey for the seeker. What the prophets have is an eternal message that they want to dress each seeker, to complete their package and to complete their soul’s journey. Sayyidina Adam (as) comes to the seeker and begins to teach that on that Ashura, when Ashura opens, that pray that Allah (AJ) accept your repentance, that your repentance is true and sincere. All this reality is in a reality towards Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Sayyidina Adam (as) Toured Paradise Finding Sayyidatina Fatima az-Zahra (as)

So, what made Sayyidina Adam’s (as) repentance to be true? It means 100 years or 300 years, he was crying. He fell from grace. He fell and made a sin and fell to Earth. For 300 years, he’s crying, and crying, and crying until Allah (AJ), on the moments of Ashura, inspired Sayyidina Adam (as) to look to the heavens because when he was in heavens alayhis salaam and when he was created, he went for a tour of paradise.

In that tour of paradise, he had come across the castles of light, the palaces of light. Upon the entrance into that palace of light, he had seen the ruhaniyat of Sayyidina Fatima az Zahra (as). When he asked Sayyidina Jibreel (as) because he has to remember his malakut (heavenly realm) stations. When he asked Sayyidina Jibreel (as) that who is this? He said Fatima az Zahra (as). This is the daughter of the most beloved in Allah’s (AJ) creations.

Ahlul Bayt (as) are the Five Gates into the Heavenly Palace

Upon her head was a light that’s symbolic. Her crown was the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Her right hand and her left hand were the light of Imam Hassan (as) and Imam Hussain (as). Around her belt was a light of Sayyidina Ali (as) and all of that he had witnessed. Then Sayyidina Jibreel (as) had shown him five gates into this palace of the heavens. He said that when he looked at the gate, he saw Ya Hamid bi Haqqi Muhammad. All praiseworthiness and by the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Sayyidina Jibreel (as) said, ‘Look, look at these and remember this well.’ It means this is going to open our understanding of when real tawbah (repentance) can enter the heart of the believer.

That Ya Hamid bi Haqqi Muhammad. Look to the next gate, and he saw Ya Aliyun, Allah (AJ) the most High, and by the reality of Ali (as). Allah (AJ), the creator, Al Khaliq, and by the reality of Sayyidina of Fatima az Zahra (as). Ar Rahman wa bi Haqqi Imam al Hassan, Ar Rahim bi Haqqi Imam al Hussain (as).

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

يَا حَمِيدُ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّد ﷺ، يَا عَلِيُّ بِحَقِّ عَلِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامْ)، يَا خَالِقُ بِحَقِّ فَاطِمَةُ الزَّهْرَاءِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامْ)، يَا رَحْمَنُ بِحَقِّ حَسَنْ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامْ) ، يَا رَحِيمُ بِحَقِّ حُسَّيْنِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامْ)

‏”Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

‏Ya Hamidu bi Haqqi Muhammad ﷺ, Ya ‘Aliyu be Haqqi ‘Ali (as), Ya Khaliqu bi Haqqi Fatimatuz Zahra (as), Ya Rahmanu bi Haqqi Hassan (as), Ya Raheemu bi Haqqi Hussain (as).”

“In the name of Allah, the Most compassionate, the Most Merciful

O’ the Praiseworthy for the sake of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), O’the Most High for the sake of Imam ‘Ali (as), O the Creator for the sake of Fatima Zahra (as), O the Most Compassionate for the sake of Imam Hassan (as), O’the Most Merciful for the sake of Imam Hussain (as).”

Sayyidina Adam (as) was Forgiven Through the Names of the Holy Family

He saw these five gates. These are the five entry ways into that palace. That by the name of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Fatima, Ali, Hassan, Hussain, are 19 Huroof. They equal Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. That each one of their names is 19 letters. That 19 letters is the secret of Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. The gate of every reality, the gate of every opening…we don’t go into that suhbah (discourse) now, but this is for the understanding that when Sayyidina Adam (as) had been given a tour of his paradise reality, fall from grace, crying, crying, crying, and only true repentance when Allah (AJ), on Ashura, inspired that look up to your firasah (spiritual vision) and remember what you saw.

At that moment, Ya Hamid bi Haqqi Muhammad ﷺ, Ya Aliyun bi Haqqi Ali (as), Ya Khaliq bi Haqqi Fatima az Zahra (as), Ya Rahman bi Haqqi Imam al Hassan (as), Ya Rahim bi Haqqi Imam al Hussain (as). Allah (AJ) said, ‘Where did you learn these words?’ Said, ‘When You showed me Your paradises with Sayyidina Jibreel (as).’ ‘If you ask anything by these words, I forgive. I forgive you from beginning of time to the end of time.’

Real Tawbah is Only Granted Through True Love of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

At that time, by reciting that, Allah (AJ) inspired his heart for the ayatul Qur’an to recite for his repentance. It’s a key. It means you have to ask Prophet ﷺ for that key to open. Then the power of Qur’an open for his heart to make his tawbah and his repentance. So, it means their teaching for us, real tawbah, is not granted until the understanding and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

So, then the people who don’t have that love within the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, how can Allah (AJ) grant them a tawbah? That’s why Allah (AJ) says, ‘When they’re oppressors to themselves, they have to come to you, ya Rasulallah.’ They have to ask Allah’s forgiveness and ask the forgiveness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. At that time, Allah (AJ) Ghafur ur Rahim, Allah (AJ), forgiving and merciful.

قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ وَيَغْفِرْ‌ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ‌ رَّ‌حِيمٌ  ﴿٣١

3:31 – “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni, yuhbibkumullahu wa yaghfir lakum dhunobakum wallahu Ghaforur Raheem.” (Surat Ali ‘Imran)

“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Family of Imran, 3:31)

So, then Sayyidina Adam (as) comes into our life and begin to teach that make your love for Prophet ﷺ. That have an understanding and the way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that that love is what going to open the sincere tawbah because when that servant draws near and has the love for Prophet ﷺ, of course, Allah (AJ) going to open now the doors of forgiveness. Why He wants to punish you when he’s loving Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? Qul inni kuntum tuhibbunallah, this is the heart, fattabiuni, follow. Follow Prophet ﷺ, I’ll be forgiving for you. I’ll love you and forgive you all your sins, all your wrongdoings.

Every Prophet Knows True Intercession is Granted By Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

So, Sayyidina Adam (as) and the Adamic dress is when real tawbah (repentance) is dressed upon that servant. Their understanding and love for Prophet ﷺ is sincere. As a result of their sincerity, they’re asking, ya Sayyidi, ya Rasulallah, ya Habibullah, that you ask Allah (AJ) for my forgiveness, I’m coming to your threshold. I’m coming at your feet. That please intercede for me because this is all from the Hadith of the Shafa’ah al Kubra, the Grand Intercession on the day of qiyamah (resurrection).

When every nation will go to their prophet asking for intercession and each prophet will say, ‘I’m not the one. I will take you.’ Sayyidina Adam (as) in the Hadith, it’s a very long Hadith, the Grand Intercession, Sayyidina Adam (as) says, ‘I’m going to take you to Sayyidina Nuh (as). These are the levels of the heart. Sayyidina Nuh (as) going to say, ‘I can’t I have a sin. I’m going to take you to Sayyidina Ibrahim (as).’ Sayyidina Ibrahim, ‘I’m going to take you to Sayyidina Musa (as)’ and Sayyidina Musa, ‘I’m going to take you to Sayyidina Isa (as).’ Sayyidina Isa (as), ‘I’m going to take you to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ It means on the Yawm al Mashar, why you have to wait for Judgement Day? So, arifeen (lovers) are inspiring: no, make that intercession now. That go to each of the prophets in your heart and have them to teach their secret of what Allah (AJ) had dressed upon them to receive the intercession and reach to your destiny which is the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

[Sahih al-Bukhari 4476, Kitab 65, Hadith 3]

Narrated Anas (ra): The Prophet (pbuh) said, “On the Day of Resurrection the Believers will assemble and say, ‘Let us ask somebody to intercede for us with our Lord.’ So they will go to Sayyidina Adam (as) and say, ‘You are the father of all the people, and Allah (AJ) created you with His Own Hands, and ordered the angels to prostrate to you, and taught you the names of all things; so please intercede for us with your Lord, so that He May Relieve us from this place of ours. Sayyidina Adam (as) will say: ‘I am not fit for this (i.e. intercession for you).’ Then Adam (as) will remember his sin and feel ashamed thereof.

He will say, ‘Go to Sayyidina Noah (as), for he was the first Apostle Allah (AJ) sent to the inhabitants of the earth.’ They will go to him and Sayyidina Noah (as) will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’ He will remember his appeal to his Lord to do what he had no knowledge of, then he will feel ashamed thereof. He will say: ‘Go to the Khalilur Rahman (Sayyidina Abraham (as)).’ They will go to him, and he will say: ‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’

‘Go to Sayyidina Moses (as), the servant to whom Allah (AJ) spoke (directly) and gave him the Torah.’ So they will go to him, and he will say: ‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’ And he will mention (his) killing a person who was not a killer, and so he will feel ashamed thereof before his Lord.

He will say, ‘Go to Sayyidina Isa (Jesus) (as), Allah’s (AJ) Servant, His Apostle and Allah’s Word and a Spirit coming from Him. Sayyidina Isa (Jesus) (as) will say, ‘I am not fit for this undertaking.’

‘Go to Sayyidina Muhammad (pbuh) the Servant of Allah (AJ) whose past and future sins were forgiven by Allah (AJ). ‘So they will come to me and I will proceed till I will ask my Lord’s Permission and I will be given permission.’

‘When I see my Lord, I will fall down in prostration, and He will let me remain in that state as long as He wishes. Then I will be addressed: “(Muhammad!) Raise your head. Ask, and your request will be granted; speak, and you will be heard; intercede, and your intercession will be accepted.”‘ ‘I will then raise my head and praise Allah (AJ) with a saying (i.e., invocation) He will teach me. Then I will intercede, and He will fix a limit for me (to intercede for), and I will admit them into Paradise. Then I will come back again to Allah (AJ), and when I see my Lord, the same thing will happen to me. I will intercede, and Allah (AJ) will fix a limit for me to intercede for those I will admit into Paradise. Then I will come back for the third time. Then I will come back for the fourth time and will say, “None remains in Hell…”
[Sahih al-Bukhari 4476, Book 65, Hadith 3]

Build Your Ship of Safety, Safinatul Nejat, Like Sayyidina Nuh (as)

So, it means that each Ashura has a dress. If the seeker reaches a level of sincerity, then Prophet ﷺ will dress them with their Adamic reality. The Adamic reality because on Muharram, is Baab at-Tawbah (Gate of Repentance). Muharram is Surah 9, Baab at-Tawbah. So, everything to do with Muharram is forgiveness. Awliyaullah (saints) are moving through the power of 9. The 9^th surah (chapter) is Surah at-Tawbah. So, it means Sayyidina Adam (as) coming and teaching that real forgiveness. Be sincere. Keep your love for Prophet ﷺ. Then Allah (AJ), by the name of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, will begin to open the reality of tawbah.

Then the seeker will move to Sayyidina Nuh (as). That when they understood forgiveness and they understood how to keep themselves clean with the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, then Sayyidina Nuh (as) will come into their life and begin to be inspired. That Safinatul Nejat was symbolic of the ship of Prophet ﷺ. That we built the ship to save us from the floods of ignorance. Every plank of that ship was 124,000 names of messengers of Allah (AJ) and rasul. Each one inscribed by the angels, each plank, and the steering column, under the name of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Sayyidina Fatima az-Zahra (as), Sayyidina Ali (as), Imam Hassan (as), Imam Hussain (as). That, this ship of safety, Safinatul Nejat, is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Sayyidina Nuh (as) comes into our lives, says, ‘I’m going to dress you with the Nuh, Nuh, Nuh-awi, the Isa-awi, Nuh-awi dress.’ The Nuh, the Noah dress, Noah’s dress upon your soul. That, what you have to build is your ship of safety. How you going to build the ship of safety? It’s your soul. Then they begin to teach “…hamalna dhurriyyatahum fil fulkil mash’hooni.” That Prophet ﷺ is fulkil mash’hooni. It’s all in Surat al YaSeen, these realities. That Prophet ﷺ is the ship of safety.

﴾وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّ‌يَّتَهُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ ﴿٤

36:41 – “Wa ayatul lahum anna hamalna dhurriyyatahum fil fulkil mashhooni.” (Surat YaSeen)

“And a sign for them is that we have carried their atoms/forefathers in the loaded ship.” (YaSeen, 36:41)

Build Your Soul With Excessive Praisings on Prophet ﷺ

When Sayyidina Nuh (as) comes into our life, on that Ashura he begin to teach that: if you’re building your love and your building the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and that Prophet ﷺ is becoming more dearer to you than yourself. If that’s becoming true, your soul is being built. Your soul is about to be prepared to move through oceans of ignorance. It means everything around our life is an ignorance. Everything is trying to take away that light from the soul. Sayyidina Nuh (as) is coming and inspiring: build your soul, build your soul. It means with the love of Prophet ﷺ, with Durood Sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), all your ibadah (worship) that Allah (AJ) has ordered for you is mandatory. But your acts of worship that are based on love means excessive amounts of salawat (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), excessive amounts of mehfils (gatherings) and Durood Sharif is giving a power to your soul.

Only at that time, on Ashura, Allah (AJ) will land your soul safe from oceans of ignorance because now you’ve made the tawbah (repentance) and your soul is now on a journey towards its reality. It’s constantly trying to fight off bad characteristic, bad desires, every type of inspiration that taking it away from the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That if your life is about building your soul, seek out the mehfils of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Don’t sit anywhere else for it is a complete waste of your time. It’s not going to help your soul.

Prove Your Love for Prophet ﷺ With Your Good Character

It means the love – you follow the people who love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Anyone who says they love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ should have the character of Prophet ﷺ. They should be sweet. They should be loving. They should be fragranced. They should exhibit everything that they say that they love. How can you be smelly and say that you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? How can you have a bad mouth, foul mouth and bad actions if you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? So, it means everything from the reality of the soul is going to be witnessed. There is a proof in everything because that which you’re following and you’re truly moving towards it, it should be shining upon you. Nurul Muhammadi ﷺ should be dressing you, shining upon you. That you develop the characteristics of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that when people see you, they’re reminded of Prophet ﷺ. Not that you just only wear a green turban and you go around angry and have dots all over your forehead. This is not…this is not Islam. This is not the reality that they’re talking about.

It’s not about showing on the outside but showing on the inside of your reality. That your heart has to be stamped with that love. That you wear the Sunnah as an honour and that you’re responsible for that Sunnah. That you’re an ambassador of love for the way of Prophet ﷺ. So, that when they see you, they say this is a Muhammadan. The mark on the outside, don’t have to be any. The mark on the inside have to be there. The sign of sajdah (prostration), when Allah (AJ) describe, you’ll see the signs of their sajdah, it’s visible by awliya (saints). It’s not visible by people. When you can’t make it visible by people, you can make all the signs you want on your skin but has nothing to do with the reality of your sajdah.

Your Soul Knows Its Coordinates Back to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

It means everybody understanding something incorrect nowadays. This reality that Sayyidina Nuh (as) opening into the heart: build your soul, build your soul. Your soul like a ship, fortified, will immediately move through all this darkness. Because that soul that has the ishq and real love for Prophet ﷺ, it won’t sit anywhere other than where that love is. Because it can sense, it’s like a ship, it’s moving. It senses these people don’t have a love for Prophet ﷺ. What is that ship doing there? The soul begins to guide you because it knows exactly its coordinates back to Prophet ﷺ.

Follow Sayyidina Ibrahim’s (as) Example of Fighting Fires of Anger

Then, when that Ashura opens from Sayyidina Nuh (as), then they hand us to Sayyidina Ibrahim (as). Sayyidina Ibrahim dress upon the soul. “Qulna ya Naaru kuni Bardan wa Salaman ala Ibrahim.” That Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) wants to come and to dress. That if you’re building your soul, what they want for you is good akhlaq and good character. Because Sayyidina Ibrahim going to teach, that if your journey is to Prophet ﷺ, you cannot have anger. That’s why “Qulna ya Naaru, kuni Bardan wa Salaman.”

﴾قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ﴿٦٩

21:69 – “Qulna ya naaru, kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.” (Surat Al-Anbiya)

“We said, O fire, be cool and Peaceful upon Abraham.” (The Prophets, 21:69)

Say, as they try to take me and throw me into the fire of Nimrod, Allah (AJ) made it to be cool and peaceful. It means, at that level, when they want to open that reality of Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) within your heart, and to have your Ibrahimiya dress, you cannot have ghadab and anger. Your only anger is when Allah (AJ) is angry. That, you try not even to show. But all the characteristics is the perfection of the self. It means they’re going to throw you into the fire of difficulties. You’re going to be thrown into imtihan and tests all around. Are these tests going to make you to be angry? Then you’re a volcano and you’re not reaching towards your reality.

Protect Yourself With the Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ

If the test come within your life, and you’re able to be cool and peaceful and how you stay cool and peaceful? It’s with the love of Prophet ﷺ. Your Durood Sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), your wudu (ablution) and all the realities that Prophet ﷺ brought for us for energies. That keep yourself in the Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ. Everything from Prophet ﷺ is a fight against shaitan. The ring is a fight against shaitan. Your ‘asaa (cane) is a fight against shaitan.

All of these produce an energy in which negativity wants to stay away. Covering your head is a protection against shaitan. Covering your body, your hawa and your being is a protection against shaitan because your fight is real in these levels of reality you’re trying to reach. Ya Rabbi, I’m trying to reach towards Qulna ya Naaru. So, then why aren’t you keeping the Sunnah? The Sunnah is your protection.

Contain Your Fire, Like a Star, to Produce Light From Your Heart

The love of Prophet ﷺ is like a force that knocks everything out of the way. They make their durood, they make their salawat (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). They keep their focus and their contemplation and their meditation on these lights and on these realities. Then Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) begins to teach that every time anger comes, stay calm, stay calm. Go wash, go make Salatul Wudu. Go sit and contemplate. Try not to let that anger out and begin to control it within your heart.

At that time, on Ashura, Allah (AJ) will dress you from an Ibrahimiya dress. That your heart is now calm and peaceful. That every, every naar (fire) and every anger and every issue that come to you, you have an ability to control it and hold it. If you have an ability to control it and hold it, you’re becoming like a star, a najm. A najm is a fire that takes a tremendous amount of heat, a tremendous amount of fire, and it produces for people, light. It’s not burning and, like a volcano, throwing fire onto everyone. It’s able to contain its fire. As a result, it purifies everything and produces a tremendous amount of light from the heart.

Run From Fir’aun to Allah’s (AJ) Promised Land Like Sayyidina Musa (as)

Sayyidina Musa (as) then comes into our life and says that if you’re able to accomplish that, I’m going to give you from the Musa-wi dress. Every time the prophet dresses you, he teaches you from his realities. That you know from the Abrahamic reality. You know from the realities of Sayyidina Adam (as), from Sayyidina Nuh (as) and then to Sayyidina Musa (as). That Moses comes into your life and teach you that you have to leave Fir’aun (Pharoah) and you have to take your people away from the hands of Fir’aun. That you have to run to Allah’s (AJ) promised land. It means your paradise reality, your soul’s reality. How Allah (AJ) made it so easy when people want to know what’s the Firaunic land? It’s the system we live in now. These are all the bloodlines of Pharaoh. Everything that running this Earth now, is based on Fir’aun.

You didn’t have to guess too much. You see the pyramid everywhere. Where was the pyramid? With Sayyidina, with the, not Sayyidina, Sayyidina Musa (as) was at the time of Firauns. Who is their Osiris, Isis, and Horus? That’s all the family of Fir’aun. He was the big Fir’aun. Isis was the mother and Horus was the one-eyed child. All that system is on this Earth so you don’t have to guess what is Fir’aun. Allah (AJ) says leave dunya (material world). This dunya and its material love and love of it, trying to conquer the dunya, is a Fir’aun. Get your people to be free from it and run. Run from that Fir’aun, run from that Fir’aun.

Allah (AJ) Only Parted the Sea When Nabi Musa (as) Mentioned Prophet’s ﷺ Name

So, then it means everything in their tafakkur and their contemplation is a constant battle to move towards Allah’s (AJ) worlds of light. On that Ashura, when Allah (AJ) want to open the city of light, is the parting of the sea. That’s what Prophet’s ﷺ hijrah (migration) was the parting of the sea, when he entered into Madinatul Munawara. So, when Nabi Musa (as) comes and begins to dress with the Musa-wi dress and teach from all his realities: inspire within your heart, that when this ocean opens, your moving now towards your paradise reality. Move into that paradise reality. Seek that paradise reality.

The story of Nabi Musa (as), we won’t go into it. But he kept asking for the sea to part, ask to sea the part, ask to see the part. It didn’t open until Allah (AJ) said, ask and ask it by its name. Ya Khalilur Rahman (Intimate Friend of the Most Compassionate), Khalilur Rahman. This is a name of Prophet ﷺ. That ask, Prophet ﷺ, Sayyidina, Allah (AJ) was inspiring Nabi Musa (as), this not going to open, this sea, until you ask in the name of Prophet ﷺ. Say, Ya Khalilur Rahman and made his du’a (supplication) that Allah (AJ) inspired.

For the sake of Prophet ﷺ, open this sea. At that time, the sea parted and the whole nation moved through that water. It means then he’s teaching that that happened all the time. At every moment, Allah (AJ) is going to part the seas of ignorance and all the Firauns that coming after you and lift you and take you towards your paradise reality. Where awliyaullah (saints), they operate at their paradise reality. They don’t operate in the dunya (material world) reality. From their paradise reality, they’re receiving and being dressed from that. Then they take them to the hand of Sayyidina Isa (as).

Condition Your Soul to Continually Ascend Like Sayyidina Isa (as)

Sayyidina Isa (as) comes into their life and begin to teach that if you’re in your paradise reality, now I’m going to show you how to make an ascension. Because on Ashura, Allah (AJ) saved me from the one who is trying to sell me and to destroy me. It means you become mahfuz (safeguarded) at that time. As much as this dunya (material world) trying to grab you, Allah (AJ) lifting you. That nothing from this dunya going to grab because awliyaullah, they’re mahfuz. Masoom (innocent) is for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the prophets. Mahfuz means they must be guarded by Allah (AJ). Sayyidina Isa (as) come into their life and teach that now Allah (AJ) is dressing you, blessing you, loving you, we’re going to show you your ascension so that you can rise above your physicality, that you operate from your spirituality and from your soul’s reality.

Because Sayyidina Isa (as) is not dead, he was raised to the heavens. It means he operates from his soul’s reality and still works and wanders upon the Earth. It means that you will be from a paradise reality, but still upon the material world, but operating from your soul’s power, not from your physicality. At that time, that Ashura, when Sayyidina Isa (as) is giving permission, it means he come and dress you from your ascension. That, that dress of the Isa-wi dress dresses upon you, That you’re constantly rising, constantly rising. That your soul is in a constant mir’aj (ascension) in the presence of Prophet ﷺ, being dressed by its paradise reality. You still walk amongst people until they prepare us for the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Pray to Your Lord and Sacrifice like Imam Hussain (as), Master of Annihilation (Holy Qur’an, 108:2)

That becomes from the understandings of Sayyidina Imam Hussain (as) and all the companions, Imam Ali (as), all the Holy companions, but very symbolic in reality of Sayyidina Hussain (as). That if you want to reach to the Master of Annihilation, then everything has to be sacrificed. That you’re fasalli li Rabbika wanhar. Pray onto your Lord and keep sacrificing in your life. Pray onto your Lord and sacrifice.

﴾فَصَلِّ لِرَ‌بِّكَ وَانْحَرْ‌ ﴿٢

108:2 – “Fasali li rabbika wanhar. ” (Surat Al-Kawthar)

“So pray to your Lord and Sacrifice.” (The Abundance, 108:2)

It means sacrifice your time so that you can come for mehfil (gathering). Sacrifice your desires so that you can do the mehfils and do the programs and do the zikr and keep the way of Prophet ﷺ. Everything is a sacrifice. As soon as you sacrifice, Allah (AJ) going to raise, going to raise and make everything to be cut off from behind you so that it can’t reach to you or to grab you. Then you become from Ahlul Kawthar because this is the reality of Prophet ﷺ, to drink from the Holy Kawthar. We pray that we get more and more deeper understanding. That this is an eternal journey and is a program. If you work it, alhamdulillah, the prophets are ready to dress. Awliyaullah (saints) are inspired to take their students on a course towards these realities to dress them, prepare them and to seek for them these highest realities and highest dresses, and highest blessings.

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.
