Entering the Imam Mahdi (as) Timeline with the Power of Imam Ali’s (as) Zulfiqar

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

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ٱلْرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ 

A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

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

Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ. Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem, Ya Habibul ‘Azeem, unzur halana wa ishfa’lana, ‘abidona bi madadikum wa nazarekum. 

Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum. Always a reminder for myself, ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence. 

أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُم… ﴿٥٩﴾‏ …

4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat an-Nisa)

“…Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)

Enter the Gates of Freedom From Fire in the Last Days of Ramadan

Alhamdulillah, Allah (AJ) granted us to enter the last ten days of Ramadan. ‘Itqun minan naar’ means ‘Freedom from Fire’. What we just recited for Imam Ali (as) and this symbolic shahadat (martyrdom) of Imam Ali (as) that is at the gate of Itqun minan naar. That in Allah’s (AJ) way, there is no coincidence. Everything has an immense reality. That we’re entering into the gates of freedom from fire and in the nasheeds (songs of praise), they recite that even you have a thousand skins, you won’t be safe from fire. If you have one skin and that skin is with Sayyidina Imam al Ali (as).

گر دوزخ به زیر پوست داری
* نسوزی گر علی را دوست داری
اگه مهر علی در سینه ات نیست
* بسوزی گر هزاران پوست داری

Agar doozakh be zeere poost dari
* Nasoozi gar Ali ra doost dari
Agar Mehre Ali dar sineh-at nist
* Besoozi gar hezaran poost dari

If you have hell fire under your skin because of your bad deeds and characters, you won’t be burned if you love Imam Ali (as), but if you don’t have the love of Imam Ali (as) in your heart, you would be burned even if you have thousand skins

Imam Ali (as) Mastered Good Manners and Futuwwa

It means that you have the love of Prophet ﷺ, love of Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ), love of holy Companions because this is the way of Imam Ali (as); the immense, the master of adab and manners. His love for his brotherhood and fellowship ‘alayhis salaam and what he gave us of manners and futuwwa (chivalry). That many may claim to love. Even there are countries established pretending to have that love.

The way of Imam Ali (as) is futuwwa, the way of knighthood and chivalry, of good character. What Prophet ﷺ gave of his zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)) was given to Prophet ﷺ because it represents “La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ”.

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.”

The Zulfiqar Carries the Laam Alif

So, those whom turning in new, they can check what the shaykh is talking about. It’s that the zulfiqar and the famous sort of double-edged sword of Imam Ali (as) is actually laam alif. With the laam and the alif and at the tip is the symbol of that and at the base is the Hu. This is a sword that Allah (AJ) gave to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That Prophet ﷺ conveyed that reality and that sword to Imam Ali (as). That, ‘You are the keeper of the door and the Ulul Baab (Gatekeepers of the reality).’ The people of the door whom they be trained as the gatekeepers of that reality.

It’s a category of the rijal (people of maturity) that throughout Qur’an and throughout these nine months, inshaAllah, we’ve been teaching that there are many categories of people. There are those whom believe and they accepted Islam. There’s ‘ulama qaimun bil qist.’ 

﴾شَهِدَ اللَّـهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ قَائِمًا بِالْقِسْطِ ۚ ﴿١٨

3:18 – “Shahidallahu annahu la ilaha illa Hu wal mala’ikatu wa ulul ‘ilmi qaaiman bil qist…” (Surat Al-Imran) 

“Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and the angels and men of knowledge, upholding justice; …” (Family of Imran, 3:18) 

There’s Ulul Baab – the companions of the gate, the door; the door to all realities. Ahle Tafakkur (People of Contemplation), when which Allah (AJ) gave them very high status which none know it but these people.

﴾يُؤْتِي الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ ﴿٢٦٩

2:269 – “Yu’til Hikmata mai yasha o; wa mai yutal Hikmata faqad otiya khairan kaseeraa; wa maa yazzakkaru illaa ulul albaab.” (Surat Al-Baqarah) 

“He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given abundant goodness. And none will remember except those of understanding.” (The Cow, 2:269) 

The Story of Imam Ali (as) Passing Away

So, these are an elite category of souls whom they train to reach these types of contemplation and realities. 12,000 rijal (people of maturity) in the image, in the ruhaniyat (spirituality) of Imam Ali (as) are in a continuous training. That although they wish to extinguish that light and to martyr and to harm Imam Ali (as), that they stabbed and the whole story of the shahadat is that he was in contemplation. He was in difficulty. They thought that he was passing, ‘alayhis salaam, after being stabbed in the masjid while praying.

Imam Ali (as) asked that, ‘Put me onto my camel and send my camel to the desert.’ They thought that he wants to pass away in the desert. As soon as they put him on the camel and told the desert to go…told the camel to go, the camel started to ride out and a caravan that was coming into the town, they asked it, ‘Did you see the body that we had…Imam Ali (as) had been martyred and we loaded his body and sort of on his last breath, he was going out into the desert?’ Said, ‘No, we didn’t see that. We saw Imam Ali (as) riding and waving at us and going into the desert’.

Imam Mahdi (as) is Dressed By Imam Ali’s (as) Ruhaniyat

So, from the knowledge of awliyaullah (saints) and there’s no body. There’s mazhar in which they have seen his spiritual being and they have associated those spiritual locations to have a strong influence from Imam Ali (as). Alhamdulillah, as we recite now, Nadi Ali, and all these nasheeds, these are the tales of this reality. That Allah (AJ) has kept Imam Ali (as), in his physicality, as a great guardian of Islam so that his family way won’t be extinguished.

That the nation, nation’s way will be upheld – the way of the companions, the way of Islam, the way of Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ) – all safeguarded in that reality. From Jabal Qaaf (Mount Qaaf), his ruhaniyat (spirituality) is in a training of 12,000 descendants whom will have the shekl and will be dressed with the ruhaniyat of Imam Ali (as) and trained in his knowledges and in his qudra and his power. These are 12,000 that will ride in the time of Imam Mahdi (as). So, it means we pray that Allah (AJ) make us of those and I would imagine the sign of those are those whom have a immense love for Imam Ali (as). 

You Cannot Partake in Futuwwa Without Good Character and Sincere Love of Prophet ﷺ

They train in the way of futuwwa, in the way of chivalry, not by nation, countries that have a claim and those claims were probably taught to them by Western and British influence to separate the nation and confuse the nation. It’s not that. This is not the way of futuwwa. Those are political systems that think they follow Imam Ali (as) and this has nothing to do with politics. These individuals, just like the nation of our own Islam, that we keep teaching – everything has its own signs. These beings whom have been trained in this reality, they are custodians of knowledge and manners. That they have a deep love for the love of Prophet ﷺ and Imam Ali (as). That they are inheritors of Ulul al Baab – the keepers of the gate and this is the gate of realities.

So many of them, of the outside people, you say, ‘Oh, that’s not those people’. No, so that’s why these knowledges will separate us from who claims they’re with Imam Ali (as), what political systems think they’re with Imam Ali (as). These are individuals who’ve been trained with chivalry, good manners, good care. They must have the love of Prophet ﷺ and that which Prophet loved ﷺ which was his holy companions. [They] Must have the love of Qur’an, the holy Companions and the love and the respect of all creation; the best of manners that they keep the way of kholoq and the best of character.

Your Heavenly Knowledges Will Dress Your Soul and Set You Free

That’s the sign of these individuals and that the knowledge they have of realities because knowledge is power. It’s the knowledge that sets one free. In dunya (material world), they like to call themself illuminated and they keep a knowledge thinking everybody else will be enslaved by their ignorance. But heavenly knowledge is a knowledge that has an immense angelic power because it’s a sign of immense energies that dress the soul. It’s byproduct are Divinely knowledges and the angelic reality that flows from them.

The secret of the zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)) is the laam alif. The secret of laam alif is the reality of La ilaha illAllah wa Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That La ilaha illAllah is never going to be known by anyone. Nobody is going to enter into that ocean without the other reality and the shadow of that reality known as Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That’s what is the responsibility of the gatekeepers is that come to this ocean. Come to this way of reality.

You Cannot Enter Heavenly Realities With Your Head

But that zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)) must take the head off of the servant. That this way and this door that you’re asking to enter of realities, it’s not allowed to use your head. So, they’re not the people of the head. Now here, come, these are the signs of this isharah. So, people say, ‘Okay, are we from that? Are we from this? Are we from that?’ Or another one says, ‘No, we are from that’. So, the criteria to enter this gate was no head. So, then what’s the first zikr (chanting) of all tariqahs (spiritual paths)? Because the turuqs are the way that we’re supposed to train people to possibly be enrolled into that door and into that oceans of knowledge and the secret of knowledges, the city of all realities.

So, the first zikr that was supposed to be taught was La ilaha illAllah. ‘La’ to your head. ‘Ilaha’ [right side of chest], and ‘IllAllah’ [heart]. No [head] Divinity [right chest] but Allah (AJ) [heart]. So, it means if somebody is not taught with La ilaha illAllah, they can’t be from that reality. They can’t even be near that reality. So that, that’s the sign of entering towards that gate. That Allah (AJ), if He wanted and wrote for them a destiny to be from this reality, to be the companions of the shaykhs of the gate. Not all of them are, they don’t even teach that understanding.

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.”

Negate Your Head to Become a Person of the Heart

But to meet with one of these Ulul al Baab (Gatekeepers of the Reality) and that their responsibility is to train you in: cut your head. That ‘La’ has to be on your head. That this is not a way of what you think you know and that your way of logic and continuously putting your logic towards ma’rifah (gnosticism), your logic towards understanding and knowledges. That they were supposed to be trained in La ilaha illAllah in which they began to negate their head and what their head thinks it understands. Then they became the people of the heart.

Because “IllAllah, illAllah Hu, illAllah Hu”, and these are all then, the other zikrs that all being initiated for the servants. That we are not a people whom, when you enter or come to enter, that you’re going to use your head. You’re going to negate the head and understand that your nafs (ego) works with your head. Your whole beginning process is to cut your head, turn off your head, turn off your understanding. Don’t watch videos that are not relevant to you. Don’t read books that are not relevant to you and your path.

Turn the Power of Your Head Off Through La Ilaha IllAllah

It means that at every point, shaitan is trying to contaminate the head. They try to give every type of false narrative, everything to create a shak and a doubt in the way, in the way of Prophet ﷺ, in the Holy Qur’an and everything. Shaitan’s…every purpose of shaitan is to go after your head, create a doubt within your head, make you to use your head. What the kalimah (testimony) says? ‘La’. So, the servants of this reality, the first interaction with this sword is that this sword hits their head and begins to teach them that ‘La’ on your head. ‘La,’ that don’t use it. Negate it. Turn the power of your head off.

Then Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say, ‘These are no headed people’ instead of square headed. The ones he didn’t like, he would call them square-headed people because the Wahhabis, they…everything is boxed. They can’t think outside of that box. Everything is bid’ah (innovation), is haram (forbidden), is shirk (polytheism), is kufur (disbelief). He said, ‘Oh, these square-headed people’ because never dislike for people. He’s supposed to be the saviour of people. But when you’re square headed and you can’t think out of that box, your head became your trap. It’s like a mousetrap.

Our Biggest Battle is Between Our Head and Heart

Allah (AJ) gave us a head, but wanted us not to use it. Then later people will come and say, ‘Oh Shaykh, oh, I don’t know. We heard the first thing Allah (AJ) created was ‘aqel (intellect)’. I said, ‘Well, then go to the talks on ‘aqel (intellect) and what really ‘aqel stands for.’ So, He gave us a head in which the nafs (ego) works with. The people of ma’rifah (gnosticism) will be trained because the biggest battle is between the head and their heart and who’s winning. If your head is winning, your heart has been damaged. If your heart is winning, you are reaching to realities.

So, our whole life struggle is between head and heart. Every suhbat (discourse) that comes and every training that comes, every ma’rifah (gnosticism) that begins to open within the heart is to open the heart, but shaitan will cast something into the head to bring a doubt and to take away that reality. That’s why then the students of this way, they must be trained in the people of zikr (Divine remembrance). The first zikr of every tariqah (spiritual path) is La ilaha illAllah. Why? Because you’re cleansing them. That come with us. We want to take all through the gate, but not many will reach that reality.

Even Nabi Musa (as) Sought the Realities of La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ

Many will be lost with their head because when it came time to really cut your head and really cut this faculty of overthinking and analyzing, they will lose themself with that thought process. Shaitan will take them and they will run. So, then this immense ocean of reality is the reality of the heart, of La ilaha illAllah, can only be reached in the way of the heart. That’s why then these 12 months of journeying is the reality of this entrance into the cave of Hu. That even Nabi Musa (as) wanted and said, ‘I won’t stop where the two rivers meet’.

﴾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)

It means he wanted the realities of the zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)). He wanted…any time we see the symbol of that zulfiqar is the symbol of this reality. That this zulfiqar represents the people whom Allah (AJ) gave them to hold La ilaha illAllah wa Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

Our Guides, Hu-Men, Live By Futuwwa to Save People From Jahannam

It means every prophet of Allah (AJ) wanted that reality and that’s why Prophet ﷺ described that, ‘My ‘ulama (scholars), my awliya (saints), they are the inheritors of the prophecies of Bani Israel’ because you see in the Qur’an that Sayyidina Musa (as) wanted that. ‘I want where these two rivers meet means I want to reach to the Hu, I want to understand La ilaha illAllah and how it reflects to the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and I want to be a custodian of that who are the Hu’.

عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ، قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ : ” اَلْعُلَمَاءِ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.”[رِيَاضْ اَلصَّالِحِينْ: ١٣٨٨]

‘An Abi Darda (ra) qala, qala Rasulullahi (pbuh): “Al ‘Ulama ye warathatul Anbiya.”

Narrated by Abi Darda (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “My scholars are the inheritors of the prophets.” [Riyad As Saliheen)

Hu-Men Hold the Key of Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ

That their hidayat and their guidance is based on waw. So, the Hu-men are the people of guidance and Divinely love. That’s why they’re based on kholoq. Their character is to be loving. Their character is to be merciful. Their character is to be accepting. Their character is to save people from jahannam (hellfire) and not cast people into jahannam. All of these, what we call isharat and signs. Say, ‘Who are the signs of the people who will be safe in the last days?’ Well, they must have the key of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

Then who are the people whom are the 12,000 inheritors of the way of Imam Ali (as)? Well then, they must have the immense understanding of La ilaha illAllah and the secret of that zulfiqar. They must be trained in that reality. This whole way of futuwwa and chivalry is to make them Hu-men – the people of the Hu. It means the rijal (people of maturity) of Hu in which they’re trained in how to open their heart. They’re trained on how to contemplate.

If You Do Not Contemplate, Everything Stays in Your Head, Never Reaching Your Heart

If you can’t break down the information coming into your head, it means that you have to be from the people of tafakkur (contemplation). Otherwise, how you can break down what’s coming to you? If you don’t sit and contemplate, you have to be a person in which continuously take knowledges and stops it from rising to your head. If you don’t contemplate, everything is in your head. 100% of everything you heard went to your head. Only the people of tafakkur stop it from going to their head because they sit and absorb realities.

When they sit in the association of realities – this is what we talked on last talk – it means they have such an admiration for realities. They know that they are…as soon as that fountain opens, they’re taking the Kawthar (The Fountain of Abundance). Can you imagine that you come to the Kawthar and you take it and throw it this way on the floor? Then you take it and throw it this way on the floor? Allah (AJ) will stop that Kawthar from ever touching you. They say even the saliva of Prophet ﷺ was holy to them. This is the love the Companions had.

Awliya Strive to Keep a Divinely Presence Within Their Hearts

The love for awliya (saints) is that their knowledges are kawthari (people dressed from the Fountain of Abundance). That take it. Don’t let it hit to the floor. Don’t let it be something that was wasted and you didn’t hear it, you didn’t act on it, you didn’t absorb it, but that you documented it. That that Kawthar dresses you and blesses you.

As a result of everything you hear from them, they don’t ever let it go to the head. They keep it within their heart, that that’s a haqqaiq (realities). My life is to keep everything within my heart and don’t leave it for my head. For who lies and resides within the head of humanity? Shaitan. Shaitan and the nafs (ego), they are in control of the head. “Qalb al mu’min baytullah”.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” قَلْبَ الْمُؤْمِنْ بَيْتُ الرَّب.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي]

Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Qalb al mu’min baytur rabb.” [Hadith al Qudsi]

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said:“The heart of the believer is the House of the Lord.” (Holy Hadith)

Beware of Lost People Who Practice Faith Only Using Their Head

So, then who resides within Baitullah (House of Allah (AJ))? Nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhada (martyrs), wa saliheen (righteous).

﴾وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا ﴿٦٩

4:69 – “Wa man yuti’ Allaha war Rasola faolayeka ma’al ladheena an’ama Allahu ‘alayhim minan Nabiyeena, was Siddiqeena, wash Shuhadayi, was Saliheena wa hasuna olayeka rafeeqan.” (Surat An-Nisa)

“And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) are in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Favours/Blessings – of the Prophets, the sincere Truthful, the Martyrs/Witnesses to the truth (who testify), and the Righteous, and excellent are those as companions.” (The Women, 4:69)

So, those whom we love, they reside within the heart. The knowledges of the heart belong within the heart. Shaitan wants to take these knowledges into the head and then begin to analyze with your nafs (ego) and negate. ‘No, it can’t be. No, no, it wasn’t like that’.

Now watch the outside, exactly what they do. Most masjids, they won’t celebrate these holy days because they say, ‘Oh, it’s some controversy or not everybody understands.’ Whatever people are doing because they became zahiri and external and everything is based from their head, their logic and some sort of a board of businessmen. ‘And we have to present it to the board’ means that their way becomes lost.

Our Greatest Fight is Internal, Between the Head and Heart

This way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) is the immense love that resides within the heart. They take the knowledges within the heart. They meditate within these knowledges and ask Allah (AJ) to make it to become real and that becomes their greatest struggle. That’s why Prophet ﷺ gave Imam Ali (as) the sword. Said that, ‘All the outside beasts that you have slain and all the outside criminals that you have slain, the greatest fight is the internal. Here’s the zulfiqar for the internal battle’.

So, it means that those whom inherit that fight, they’re in a continuous battle of La ilaha illAllah Hu. That their reality is to enter their heart and not to go to their head, not to use their head. We described before, even with the advent of Imam Mahdi (as), if anyone puts a time to eschatology – the study of the last days – anyone who puts a time already lost his faith in this way of ma’rifah (gnosticism). So, external shaykhs and imams (religious leaders) and teachers they say, ‘Oh no, no, before Imam Mahdi (as) is like maybe 150 years’. As soon as you made an eternal event and brought it to a time, you already lost its understanding.

The Holy Companions’ Belief was So Strong, Allah (AJ) Made It Real for Them

So, we described that because it’s an eternal event that you’re waiting for, not the physical. We’re not sitting here and they call it a death cult. That these people whom are looking for everything to be destroyed and collapsed and people to be killed so that they can see their saviour. But they have it wrong. The whole reality was you were not supposed to put a time. Prophet ﷺ was teaching his companions, it’s now. Dajjal (man of deceit) is here. Dajjal is coming. That the Sahabis (Holy Companions of Prophet ﷺ) yaqeen (certainty) was so powerful that they thought it was there. That behind every bush, they thought was the dajjal. Why?

They didn’t think because they actually began to see because they are the masters of yaqeen. As Prophet ﷺ was giving of his holy breath, they were intaking and believing. As a result, Allah (AJ) took an unseen event and made it to be seen for them, took a timed event and made it to be eternal for them so that when that event is going to happen in the world of light, it’s always happening. They could see the movements of dajjal. When they look with their eternal eye and the eye of their heart, they could see it.

Are You Waiting or Acting Upon These Teachings Now?

As a result, it perfected their faith. So, these again, these are how the shaykhs teach their students. What we call ‘isharat,’ that anytime you hear a scholar or imam putting a time on a timeless event, they lost the understanding and it means nothing to them. Now they’re just archeology students waiting to look for something and to dig up something. But this way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) is that we have nothing to do with the time. You have to believe it’s now. You have to believe the events are happening now. You have to store and stock up on your supplies now. You have to take, at every instant, the shaykh teaches something, you take it and act upon it.

When you’ve acted upon it, whatever the shaykh is teaching becomes true for you. Each from your left to your right will be different in their belief. No two people believe the same. The person next to you, you can’t imagine what he sees or hears. You said, ‘But I’ve been sitting in the same room.’ It has nothing to do with it. Each one has their own belief. Each one acts upon their belief. As a result, Allah (AJ) describes they hear what no people have heard before. They can see what no people have seen before.

Allah (AJ) Gives Each Individual Different Levels of Beliefs and Abilities

Allah’s (AJ) rich. It means what He gives to hear for a servant, no two servants will hear the same. What He gives to see for the servant, no two servants will see the same horizon. That’s when we described that when the servant becomes of an eternal reality, they walk on the street with their physical eyes, they can see the traffic and the buildings. With their spiritual eyes, they can see which buildings Allah (AJ) has already destroyed. So, everything for this reality is based on eternity.

It means then we pray that Allah (AJ) grant us to be from the people of the zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)). That our way of love and muhabbat and reverence for Prophet ﷺ, the Holy Companions, the Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ) and specifically the love for Imam Ali (as) as a safeguard in the last days; as the one whom his descendants will come to the Earth which is Imam Mahdi (as). That we have a love for them and that we’ve asked Allah (AJ) to make us to be halal (permissible) for them, to be purified for them and that to give us the kholoq and the character to be amongst them and with them for eternity.

Keep the Companionship of Holy Souls to Be With Whom You Love

That if we believe and our actions are based on belief, then Allah (AJ) open for us to see them at every moment, to keep their companionship at every moment and to be dressed from their nazar (gaze) and their grace. That that nazar and that blessing be upon ourselves, our family and our communities. We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us on these holy nights, the qadr (power) nights. That this gate of Itqun minan naar (freedom from fire) is with the zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)).

That it just so happens those are the gates of power now, opening from the soul and which has immense qudra, immense power; to keep the companionship of these holy souls so that to reach to these oceans of power, not because of ourself, but because of whom we love and that Prophet’s ﷺ promise is, ‘You 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]

If you love the right people, you should be very happy in life. If you love the wrong people, you’ll be in the wrong place. So, Allah (AJ) gives us all these signs. That as soon as we’re entering into the 20th day and 21st day, this comes now the love of Sayyidina Imam Ali (as).
