Everything in Creation Exists Within the Ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ – Realities Unfolded in Month of Rabi’ul Awwal
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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)
The First Thing that Allah (AJ) Created is the Muhammadan Light
The birth of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the birth of the Muhammadan light and the birth of creation, “Ana awwala khalqillah” – the first thing that Allah (AJ) created. Alhamdulillah from ayatul kareem (the generous verse of Holy Qur’an), “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Ta-Seen; tilka ayatul Qur’an wal kitaabil Mubeen.”
قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ: “أَوَّلُ مَا خَلَقَ اللهُ نُوْرِ نَبِيِّكَ يَا جَابِرْ.”
Qala Rasulullah ﷺ:“Awwalu ma khalaqAllahu nuri Nabyika, Ya Jabir.”
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “The first thing that Allah created was your prophet’s light (referring to himself (pbuh)) O Jabir.”
(١) طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ
27:1 – “Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen.” (Surat al-Naml)
“Taa-Seen, These are verses of the Qur’an, and a Clear Book.” (The Ant, 27:1)
That Allah (AJ) swearing by this reality and that these are the signs of Holy Qur’an. This fire, this reality that granting us to enter and the beatific and clear book of Allah (AJ). That this Qur’an is written upon the soul and the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. The reality of that fire, that essence of bringing that light into existence Allah (AJ) granting those with that understanding and that way of Shamsul ‘Arifeen (Sun of Knowers) – moving towards this oceans of light and the beatific reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Rabi’ul Awwal Opens the Reality of Divinely Fire
The third month opens the reality of this Divinely Presence, this Divinely fire. This source of light in which the purified light that Allah (AJ) to dress us from the immensity of its purity and the immensity of its secret. Nurul anwar wa sirratul asrar (light of every secret and secret of every light) – that every, every light has a secret and every secret has a light. So means the source of all knowledges, the source of all realities that Allah (AJ) inshaAllah enter and allow us to enter into that reality, to be dressed by that reality.
Then becomes the teachings of the kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) and gives for us an understanding that in this cave, this light, this presence, this is the presence of a Divinely Kingdom and the sultanate (kingdom) and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that is based on immense humility. If a representative exhibits an amazing power, an amazing ability, an amazing reality that God has given to them, imagine the one whom is the true custodian of that reality. That is the amazing nature and that’s why the correct understanding of Qur’an that they should know that Prophet ﷺ is above all the prophets (as).
All Prophecy Exists Within the Prophecy of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
All the prophets (as) of Allah (AJ) they take from the risalat (prophecy) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That the crown of creation and the one who represents Allah (AJ), the khalifa (representative) of Allah (AJ). All prophecy exists within the prophecy of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If the understanding is not clear, you can imagine then every qissah (story), every reality is lost. When the clarity that there’s nothing but Allah (AJ) – La ilaha illAllah because they don’t understand the usool (fundamental principles of Islam) – the law and that other than La ilaha illAllah is only 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.”
This is the kalimah (testimony). Everything has to abide by the kalimah. So it means that it teaches us that – there is no God, no Divinity but Allah (AJ) and the direct connection between La ilaha illAllah, alif-laam-laam-hey touching meem and it touches and from that hey it shoots out the reality. So from Allah’s (AJ) hey of hidayat (guidance) it touches and shoots out Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That hey has a waw above it because this is the reality of Allah’s (AJ) Hu. When Allah (AJ) described “Qul Hu, Qul Hu.”
(١) قُلْ هُوَ اللَّـهُ أَحَدٌ
112:1 – “Qul HuwAllahu Ahad.” (Surat Al-Ikhlas)
“Say (O’ Muhammad (pbuh), He, Allah (is) One!” (The Sincerity, 112:1)
At that Hu from Allah (AJ) which can never be seen, is dressing the huwa, is dressing him – the one whom Allah (AJ) is speaking to. “Qul Hu” is the surah (chapter) of sincerity and immense purity. The one whom can never be seen is speaking to somebody. One speaking, one spoken to. When Allah (AJ), “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Qul Hu, Qul Hu Allahu Ahad.”
Everything in Creation Exists Within the Ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ
So means that reality of that Hu touching the meem and coming now Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Everything now exists in creation in the ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So every prophet (as) is created from what light? Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. They can’t have risalat above the risalat of the one who owns their light. They come from him ﷺ and they can only take a position minor to the primary. Because the one whom is the source file, everyone else is just of a lesser nature taking from that reality. It means the source of all of this is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. All the prophets (as) are taking from that ocean, they can’t go above that ocean. So means their prophecy only exists because of the prophecy and the prophetic position and nature of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
Stories of All Prophets (as) Give Us the Understanding of Who is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ
These ‘ulama (scholars) when they teach that, the students understand that then they understand the great example of all the qissahs of the prophets (as). That Allah (AJ) giving to us then these stories for us to understand who is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So when we come to the stories and the realities of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) – one whom Allah (AJ) gave a mulk (earthly realm), an authority and a kingdom to which He gave no other man. That was a symbol in the humility of Prophet ﷺ that he didn’t want to exhibit on this Earth this type of authority, did not want to show that upon the Earth. But the fact that it exists in a story of prophecy then it’s a sign for those who believe. That the great humility of Prophet ﷺ no doubt could hear and communicate with all the jinn (unseen beings), all the ifrit (powerful demon), all the angels. Had command and control over all animals, all creatures, inanimate and animate objects, all their praise, all their realities is all under that dominion and kingdom and the dome of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Whole Satanic World is After the Powers and Authority of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as)
So that when we read about Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) because now Allah (AJ) defining for us that, ‘Those whom entered into this fire are blessed, those whom are around that fire are blessed.’
فَلَمَّا جَاءَهَا نُودِيَ أَن بُورِكَ مَن فِي النَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ (٨)
27:8 – “Falammaa jaaa’ahaa noodiya am boorika man finnnnaari wa man hawlahaa wa Subhaanal laahi Rabbil ‘aalameen.” (Surah An-Naml)
But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard: “Blessed are those in the fire and those around: and glory to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.” (The Ant, 27:8)
How the blessing? Listen to the realities of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). That how the kingdom and those whom serve the kingdom don’t deem them to be empty! Because people have eyes and they don’t see, they have ears and they don’t hear. One who understands and grasps this, he understands what’s happening upon this Earth. Right? So the whole of the satanic world is after and imitating the powers and the authority of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as).
The ‘Illuminated’ with their eyes and their skirts and their symbols and their gestures. All shaitan (satan) plays with them to make them feel that their deeds are good and that they reached an authority and that they too want from the seen and the unseen world when they use the symbols of black and white and all their symbolisms. As they say that they’ve mastered the Earth of the seen and the unseen beings. But they’ve only mastered the shayateen (devils). They have nothing to do with the heavens. They have sold themselves for a small price and the price of what they sold is what shaitan plays with them and plays with the ifrit to give them and to fool them.
(٩٠) …بِئْسَمَا اشْتَرَوْا بِهِ أَنفُسَهُمْ
2:90 – “…Bi’samash taraw biheee anfusahum…” (Surat Al-Baqarah)
“Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls…” (The Cow, 2:90)
So all this Earth is about that reality. When we come into this month, this is an immense awakening of what’s happening with the satanic kingdom. They want that power, they want to imitate that power and they have been fooled and Allah (AJ) describes, ‘How shaitan came to them and made all their mischievous things appear good to them.’
(٦٣) …فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ…
16:63 – “…Fazayyana lahumush Shaitaanu a’maalahum…” (Surat An-Nahl)
“…But Satan made, (to the wicked), their own acts seem alluring…” (The Bee, 16:63)
They feel satisfied they receive something of a material gain, a worldly gain and they feel that they achieved from that authority and that power. But in reality they sold their souls for a small price and its true reality is in the hand and dominion of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. “Subhanal ladhee biyadihi mulk wa tabarakal ladhee biyadihi mulk.”
(٨٣) فَسُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
36:83 – “Fasubhanal ladhee biyadihi Malakotu kulli shay in wa ilayhi turja’oon.” (Surat YaSeen)
“Therefore Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion/ kingdom over everything in heavens, and to Him you will be returned.” (YaSeen, 36:83)
(١)تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
67:1 – “Tabarakal ladhee biyadihil mulku wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in qadeer.” (Surat Al-Mulk)
“Blessed is He in Whose hands is Dominion/kingdom; and He has Power over all things.” (The Sovereignty, 67:1)
True Authority of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) for the Mulk is All Under the Authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
Allah (AJ) throughout Qur’an is reaffirming and confirming, ‘Glory be to the hand who has My dominion and My kingdom,’ and it’s “Kulli shay.” That his hand and his authority is all-encompassing and that his authority and his dominion over the world of lights is all-encompassing. So it means the true power and the true authority of the realities of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) for the mulk and the manifest worlds – these are all under the authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That’s why when they say the najm (star) and they say, ‘Oh this is a star of David,’ David (as) is a prophet (as) under the prophecy of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) is a prophet under the prophecy of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So they’re under the khirqah of Prophet ﷺ.
Star of Prophet David (as) is Owned by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
Anything that they brought for their people it’s owned and its ownership is under Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So when they see that we put the star they say, ‘Oh this is the star of David.’ No its owner is the star of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. What he gave them of a knowledge was not the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. If they thought that star was powerful under Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) they haven’t the slightest understanding that when it’s truly opened under the authority of La ilaha illAllah [Shaykh traces upper triangle] then goes Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ [Shaykh traces lower triangle]. That the authority over the soul and its reality is La ilaha illAllah.
Who has authority under that? Who can open the reality of ‘La [points to head], ilaha [right chest], illAllah [heart]?’ Because the upward star, upward triangle has to do with your upward reality of your soul which is under ‘La [points to head], ilaha [right chest], illAllah [the heart].’ There’s no one that has the authority over the soul except for Muhammad ﷺ [heart], Rasul [right chest] Allah [lower body]. So means the one whom has authority over the downward which is then the physical realm. The upward is the world of the souls and lights, the down is the world of the form.
The Only One Who can Discipline the Form is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ
The only one who can discipline the form is then ‘Muhammad [points to heart], Rasul [right chest], Allah [lower body].’ That he brings to them the reality of Allah (AJ) to tame their wildness. Then we described the whole realities of ‘Najm’ and the ‘Star.’ That is the reality of taming the star, the soul and taming the body and bringing out the reality of the soul. It means all of these authorities, all of these realities, these are under the authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the one who sits upon the throne is the one who wears the crown of “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.”
Everything has been Given Under the Authority of Prophet ﷺ
So this is an immense reality of Prophet ﷺ and this gives to the believers the understanding that whatever we read about Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) that this is the reality and its reflection is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. “Sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati wa ma fil Ard wa jamee’an” – that, ‘We have subjected to you that you are the king and the authority of all the heavens and the Earth, we have made them subject to you, and whatever is between them.’ So means a catch-all in the contract that, ‘Whatever is in the Earth, above the heavens and the Earth and anything between them we have made them subject to your authority ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger) ya Habibul ‘Azim (The Magnificent Beloved).’
(١٣) وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً مِّنْهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لَّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
45:13 – “Wa sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati wa ma fil Ardi jamee’an minhu, inna fee dhalika la ayatin liqawmin yatafakkaron.” (Surat Al-Jathiya)
“And He has subjected/gave the authority to you [Sayyidina Mahmood (pbuh)], as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect/Contemplate [Meditate].” (The Crouching, 45:13)
Every Creation Comes into Existence Through an Energy, That Energy is Under the Authority of Prophet ﷺ
That Allah (AJ) has throughout Qur’an many proclamations of authority. That, ‘These are all under your authority, these are all under your kingdom and your domain.’ So then this surah of 27 [Surah An-Naml] gives us the immensity of the kingdom of God and its authority and how much it has control over the world, how much it has control over all the creatures and all the objects – living and not living, animate and inanimate. All of them have an energy that bring them into existence, that energy is under the authority of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. From where? La ilaha illAllah.
If You Want to Reach the Reality of La Ilaha IllAllah Use the Key of Muhammad Rasulallah ﷺ
So people again with incomplete functionality they keep saying, ‘Everything’s from Allah (AJ),’ that’s a given but what we’re teaching is the key to La ilaha illAllah is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Everything given to Allah (AJ) but it’s not given from Allah (AJ) to you. So the tariqahs (spiritual paths) come to teach who’s the owner of these realities, these powers, these authorities, these protections. That if you want to reach the reality and the protection of La ilaha illAllah you better be using the key of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Because they never come to you without that.
If you ever think you are receiving, you’re receiving from shaitan and his illusions and delusions. That’s what was said – in last days black and white will be very clear. The absence of grey is now appearing, is leaving. The grey-zone is now vanishing where it will become much, much clearer that who’s black and who’s white. What you’re going towards reality or you’re going towards the hizbul shaitan (party of satan) because the authority has to be very clear.
Real ‘Ulama of the Nation of Prophet ﷺ are Warith ul Anbiya (Inheritors of the Prophets)
That everything in these oceans of realities is under the authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The mulk of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) was a big isharah (sign) and guidance into that reality. So all the qissahs and stories when we recite and read from surah 27 – Surat An-Naml about The Ant and the realities of what Allah (AJ) has given to Sayyidina Sulaiman (as), it was a big sign in the authority that was given to Prophet ﷺ and that are under the dominion of awliyaullah (saints). That all of this is an understanding that Prophet ﷺ clarified that, ‘My real ‘ulama, they are warith ul anbiya from Bani Israel.’
[عَوَالِي اَلْلآلِي جُزْء ٤ / صفحة ٧٧، الحديث ٦٧] .”قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ” عُلَمَاءُ أُمَّتِي كَأَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيل
Qala An Nabi (pbuh): “’Ulama o Ummati ka Anbiya ye Bani Israel.” [‘Awali Allaali, Juz’ 4, Safha 77, Al Hadiht 67]
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “The scholars of my nation are like the prophets of Bani Israel.” [Source: ‘Awali Allaali, Volume 4, Page 77, Hadith # 67]
That Warith ul Muhammadiya (Muhammadan Inheritor) that, ‘My ‘ulama whom are internal and external ‘ulama that they represent my light and my reality, they are the inheritors of the prophets (as) of Bani Israel.’
So we are now on a prophet (as) of Bani Israel (as) and that’s what Prophet ﷺ was alluding to that, ‘Don’t think they’re empty. They’re carrying from my realities and they carry from the reality of the station of prophecies of Bani Israel (as).’ So means that they inherit the understanding and the realities under the kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). That their ta’weezes (prayers for protection) they are energized and powered. So when you read Surat Al-Sulaiman that when Allah (AJ) wants to give a kingdom to His servant, He has to give guards for the kingdom otherwise what’s the purpose of having a heavenly kingdom. When we’re telling people the kingdom on this Earth, its true king is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. How could you follow a king if there’s no guardian and power and authority?
There Are Many Spiritual Beings Protecting the Muhammadan Kingdom
So then Allah (AJ) began to describe that they had the, ‘Marshalled armies of the jinn, of malaika (angels), of all creatures – all of them lined up.’
(١٧) وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ
27:17 “Wa hushira Sulaimaana junooduhoo minal jinni wal insi wattairi fahum yooza’oon.” (Surat An-Naml)
“And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.” (The Ant, 27:17)
It means that this Earth, this reality – same. That for Allah (AJ) to establish that kingdom upon Earth that there are many spiritual beings that are there for protection, to protect the kingdom and those whom are a part of the kingdom. That’s an immense reality while reading this surah. Not it’s a storytelling, ‘Oh wow this is amazing how this happened.’ No, it is that happened. This is how this world is governed right now. That there are many from that kingdom that their allegiance to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. As a result these are the ta’weezes, these are the knowledges, these are all the realities that are put onto this Earth as a protection. From these realities they have creatures under their dominion, they have the ability from many different realities.
If you think the birds were working for Sayyidina Sulaiman (as), what do you think of Allah’s (AJ) creatures working for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? Is there a creature that through their eyes they can’t see and through their ears they can’t hear and that the creatures in the skies and creatures on the ground that they’re not working for Prophet ﷺ and they’re not ever-vigilant of Allah’s (AJ) servants? People read Qur’an as if it’s a old storybook, astaghfirullah. But it’s alive and it’s very much, for now. When you walk know that all those creatures they can see you, they can hear you, they hear your conversation. If Prophet ﷺ is asking of them anything, they will report to Prophet ﷺ and those whom he gave an authority, they report to them.
That’s why then when you read [surah] Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) he’s getting commands from the birds. So he was very angry. Imagine the immensity of his kingdom and he’s angry why one bird didn’t show up in the row. Say, ‘Where’s the Hoopoe bird – Hudhud?’ Out of all the birds he notices one bird to draw our attention that – don’t think this is a story of old but these are creations of Allah (AJ).
(٢٠) وَتَفَقَّدَ الطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِيَ لَا أَرَى الْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَائِبِينَ
27:20 – “Wa tafaqqadat taira faqaala maa liya laaa araa al hudhuda, am kaana minal ghaaa’ibeen.” (Surat An-Naml)
And he took attendance of the birds and said, “Why do I not see the hoopoe – or is he among the absentees?” (The Ant, 27:20) ” (The Ant, 27:20)
Qur’an is Very Much Alive, It is Not the Story of Old
If they are in service to the heavenly kingdom then they are ever-vigilant. That they come, they’re around, they watch the servants, they’re guardians of the servants. Many whom see through them, hear through them. All of these realities Allah (AJ) makes us to be hyperalert. Don’t be heedless people reading Qur’an thinking, ‘Oh this is the story from old,’ then you lost that barakah and that blessing. But how this must be alive right now. So where we go to the story of the naml (ant). Which verse is the naml, shaykh? [Shaykh asks audience] Let me get to there, The Ant. Let’s recite inshaAllah, verse 18 then.
Reciter: “A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Hattaa izaa ataw ‘alaa waadin namli qaalat namlatun yaa ayyuhan naml. Yaa ayyuhan namlud khuloo masaakinakum laa yahtimannakum Sulaimaanu wa junoodu hoo wa hum laa yash’uroon.” SadaqAllahul ‘aliyyul ‘azim.
(١٨) حَتَّىٰ إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَىٰ وَادِ النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
27:18 – “Hattaa izaa ataw ‘alaa waadin namli qaalat namlatun yaa ayyuhan namlud khuloo masaakinakum laa yahtimannakum Sulaimaanu wa junoodu hoo wa hum laa yash’uroon.” (Surat An Naml)
“Until, when they came upon the valley of the ants, an ant said, “O ants, enter your dwellings that you not be crushed by Solomon and his soldiers while they perceive not.” (The Ant, 27:18)
Wa barakah Rasulul Kareem, Habibul ‘Azim. One example of these realities that opens is when the armies of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) are beginning to set out for their marching. As they gathered the armies and the soldiers of the jinn, the men, the birds and all the creatures and marching in rows and Allah (AJ) is drawing our attention. Imagine the Creator of all created universes in His Holy Qur’an is stopping to give an example. If He’s giving an example there must be an immense, immense reality in everything that Allah (AJ) is saying. Otherwise, why mention it? He’s giving to us that they were marching until they came upon a valley of ants and the ants said, ‘Oh enter into your dwellings that you will not be crushed by the armies of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) while they perceive not’ [27:18].
Awliyaullah Can Hear Even the Ant Walking Miles Away
So means that Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) one – he’s marching, with all the sounds of his marching he stopped his entire army to hear an ant. What type of power is that? What type of yaqeen (certainty) is that? Then Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would describe that awliyaullah if Allah (AJ) opened for them the necessary hearing, they can hear the ant walking on a stone miles away. Allah (AJ) is giving an example because people want to say, ‘Oh where do you get these things from Shaykh?’ Oh these are ancient tafsirs (interpretations) of Holy Qur’an from Sayyidina Ibn Abbas (as) and many, many tafsirs of the companions and the awliyaullah. They give to us its understanding that – stop when you read Qur’an and listen to the teachings of awliyaullah.
That Allah (AJ) is drawing our attention that the leader of their ants, one – Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) is hearing them and what he’s hearing is the dialogue of the leader of the ants telling his ants kingdom, ‘Enter into your homes unless you be crushed by the armies of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) and he by mistake would have done that.’ Not that he’s intentionally going to crush your homes but enter back into your homes. Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) he smiled and he was amused at her speech and he said, ‘Oh my Lord enable me to be grateful for Your favors,’ and continues on.
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي (١٩)عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
27:19 – Fatabassama daahikam min qawlihaa wa qaala Rabbi awzi’nee an ashkura ni’mata… (Surat Al-Naml)
So he smiled, amused at her (ant’s) speech; and he said: “O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours… (The Ant, 27:19)
When the Servants are Blessed by Allah (AJ) They Have Command Over This Earth
Why Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would always stop at this section to remind us? One; that do you think that the servants of Allah (AJ) they can’t hear creatures speaking? Allah (AJ) is giving very clear proof that when the servants are blessed by Allah (AJ), they have command over this Earth, they have the ability to hear creatures and their form of communication. One; so that we’re aware that there are people whom Allah (AJ) has given a gift to.
Then two – the compassion for creatures. The people take big creatures, do lab tests on them and they think, ‘Oh they don’t feel pain.’ Don’t feel pain? Allah’s (AJ) telling us that the ant and why an ant because in Arabic the ant is commonly referred to like an atom. The smallest that you can give an example for, they didn’t have a word for ‘Atoms’ so they would say ‘Ant.’ So it’s like the smallest form of measurement that Allah (AJ) saying, ‘What are you talking about My creatures don’t have feelings?’ The ant is showing us he has feelings and they’re scared and he has a love for his community and he is telling them, ‘Go into your homes.’ They communicate. So Allah’s (AJ) creation all have feelings, all have community and love and compassion. They have a compassion for each other, their survival, their existence.
Leave Your Particle Existence and Learn to Bring Your Wave Reality
Then Allah (AJ) draws to our attention from these people whom want to enter cave and want to enter the realities of power, realities of wisdom that how come you can’t communicate like the ant? Because we talked about the other day the scientists are teaching us – if you want to be a particle and every discussion you want to enter into is going to be about a fight. You yell and you scream and you keep your particle existence, you lost what God gave to you.
But if you want to train with us on how to bring your wave reality, how to bring your energy, how to bring your true form of communication, then Allah (AJ) is bringing our attention that, ‘How come you can’t even do what My ant can do and you think you’re so great?’ You walk so tall, you think you have a big head, you have lots of lab experiments. You can’t communicate with each other. You have to still use a phone. So what communication did a ant have, how big and how wide was the kingdom that she was communicating to and she had no mobile phone. She merely put out a signal that went to all the ants and they all entered into their homes.
Surah Al-Naml Gives a Daleel (Proof) of How Shaykh Reaches You
That’s why we say every year – on an ant which side is the head? Because they look like they’re both the same. Doesn’t even have like a visible, which side of this ant is a head. So tiny, so small. And we to have such a profound size head, can’t communicate to anyone, can’t communicate to the person even in front of you more less you know 10 miles away, five miles away in comparison to the size of an ant talking to her community probably like 10, 20 miles away would be for us based on our size. With no phone, just send a signal from your heart, ‘Enter into your homes,’ who would receive that signal and go in.
This is a daleel for the people who say, ‘There’s no shaykh and there’s no shaykh who can reach you, it’s only Allah (AJ),’ and then they come up with the dajjal (man of deceit) phrase again from the fire that we talked last night, if people are contemplating. When they reiterate what the Antichrist teaching is, they’re already affected by the sight of paradise and they see it as a fire and they keep quoting to us the fire that, ‘This is paradise.’ So they’re already mixed up. Anytime we teach about paradise, they keep quoting to us that, ‘This is a fire,’ and we read the same book but they have eyes that they don’t see and ears that they don’t hear. Don’t they see the evidence and the proof?
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 (١٧٩)أَضَلُّ ۚ أُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْغَافِلُونَ
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)
If the ant can teach her students without a phone that, ‘Enter into your homes and that seek your safety,’ and that the ant is able to communicate with its family and its community, you don’t think Allah (AJ) gave that to “Wa laqad karramna Bani Adam” to creation that He loves and He says, ‘I’ve honored the creation of Adam and Eve.’
(٧٠) …وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ
17:70 – “Wa laqad karramna bani adama…” (Surat Al-Isra)
“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam…” (The Night Journey, 17:70)
If You Open Up Your Wave Reality You Can Pick Up the Signals From Your Shaykh
They come back and say, ‘This is shirk – this is partnership.’ What you people talking about? Allah’s (AJ) giving an example of an ant can communicate with her community and warn them of danger. You don’t think if you hyper-tune yourself, open up your wave reality, open up your energy and sync and attune yourself with these shaykhs – these shaykhs whom their wave reality, their light reality is so powerful that you can’t receive a signal of safety of guidance and assurance?
All within the dominion and acceptance of Allah (AJ) because Allah (AJ) is giving us the example that, ‘All My creatures have immense power, compassion. Don’t you go around squishing them thinking that nobody cares for them.’ They have a family and a community, they have a form of communication and they have a praise but you don’t have ears to hear it. The only one who hears it are the people of tafakkur (contemplation). Allah (AJ) describes, “Yusabbihu wa bihamdi” – ‘For everything praises Me but you haven’t the ears to hear it except the men of contemplation; men and women.’
(٤٤) تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا
17:44 – “Tusabbihu lahus samawatus sab’u wal ardu wa man fee hinna wa in min shayin illa yusabbihu bihamdihi wa lakin la tafqahoona tasbeehahum innahu kana haleeman ghafoora.” (Surat Al-Isra)
“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt [praises] Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (The Night Journey 17:44)
The People of Contemplation Whose Hearts are Alive, Their Wave Reality is Alive
The people of contemplation whom their hearts are alive, their wave is alive, their vibration and the vibration of their existence is alive. Allah (AJ) is drawing our attention then, ‘Be like them’. So it’s then not the size of your head. Actually the size of your head is making the biggest problem. Right? So these shaitans who come their heads are very big as to give us an example, ‘Oh boy they’re like really big into their head.’ That’s why you see these big shaitans with big heads, this actually has to go the opposite. Be like the ant in which you have no head at all.
Lose your head that’s why the tariqahs their first zikr (chanting) is – La [points to head], ilaha – to the right side, illAllah – into the heart. Because you see me on the opposite direction but illAllah is to our emblem [Phoenix emblem on heart]. ‘Nothing but Allah (AJ)’ [Shaykh points to heart]. ‘Nothing’ [points to the head], ‘Divinity’ [points to right chest] but Allah (AJ) [points to heart]. So every zikr in every tariqah starts with ‘La’ (no). Why? It is that the big head you have, reduce it. If you can reduce the capacity of your head to keep thinking and thinking and thinking, ‘I can’t do it, I can’t do it, I can’t do it,’ you won’t do it. If you can master your head to be La ilaha illAllah, illAllah then when Allah (AJ) pushes, it’ll happen and you’ll achieve it.
Birds Can Fly Because They Have Big Hearts
We described before in the love of the birds; they have what they call a pea-brain. The bird has a huge heart, is a big chest and a little tiny brain. Because it has a big chest and big heart and big love, it flies and it never thinks that when it’s flying, ‘Oh, oh my gosh I’m gonna fall from here.’ If Allah (AJ) gave it a bigger head, as soon as it would fly it would think, ‘Oh my! I’m going to fall,’ and then come back down.
So our whole life and the reality of this cave is now teaching us – in this kingdom, there are many powers, there are many abilities. Think from the world of light. These creatures are all communicating and what you inherit is from the Sulaiman (as) power that the angels will be under your command, the jinn will be under your command, the shayateen will be frightened of your command. That the creatures they will be under your command because they are subservient to the light. One whom has authority in the world of light has authority over the whole kingdom of this Earth. That’s what the reality of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) is teaching.
As a result, build your power at least more powerful than the ant which they are very communal. It means they have a strong allegiance to each other, they uphold each other, they have a strong faith, they can lift a hundred times their weight. When you see a little ant carrying away an entire bee, it’s a hundred times his weight he can carry because it doesn’t occur to him that he’s small. He thinks he’s as huge and powerful as anything else because he has a tremendous himmah (zeal).
The Ant and the Incident of Throwing Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) into The Fire
Then all of these creatures are teaching for us and our final note on the reality of the ants and the reality of Allah’s (AJ) creatures was when we talked about last night. When Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) continuously was combating against the idol worshipers, they built a fire and they built a fire in which to burn Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) and finally get rid of his continuous testing on them. That fire they said was so huge that days away you could see the size of the flame. They built this and they tried to catapult Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) into this flame. They couldn’t until Allah (AJ) gave permission for that catapult to be released and as he went into the flame, Allah (AJ) made it to be “Qulna ya naaru, kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.”
(٦٩) قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
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)
That as he’s departing from the catapult, Allah (AJ) commanded the fire to be cool and peaceful because now the messenger of Allah (AJ) is entering into that domain. As he entered into that flame then alhamdulillah he was enjoying. People were looking from that fire and Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) is inside the flame with no effect – like a paradise inside that reality for him.
But on the outside the ant and there was a little tiny ant was so horrified by the fact that they were going to burn the prophet (as) of Allah (AJ). That when he saw that flame, he set out to get water and with a little drop of water he was running back to the immensity of this fire and the fire was so great it was not approachable. He said by the time he brought his little drop and threw it towards the fire, it already had dried before entering into that flame. He kept going back and forth throwing this water, throwing this water until one of Allah’s (AJ) servants asked the ant, ‘Can you see the size of this fire? This water that you bring is not going to put this fire out.’ The ant replied to the servant of Allah (AJ), ‘That’s not my duty to put it out but it’s my duty that when I saw this fire and saw this difficulty I had to have it written for me that I tried to change it, to do something positive for it. Not just sit by and watch it to burn. Then it would be written that I saw the fire and I allowed it to just burn.’
It’s Not the Matter of You Changing Things, It is the Matter of Doing Good
He was teaching a servant of Allah (AJ) that – it’s not a matter of you changing things and say, ‘Oh I can’t change it therefore I won’t be involved in it.’ No but that we saw the fire of this dunya (material world) and we wanted it to be written by Allah (AJ) that we did something of goodness, means a khidmat (service). This is our life – is a khidmat. You’re not going to solve world hunger but if you feed that one person, you solved it for them for that day.
It means if you can do a good deed just for somebody, it’s enough for that person that is thankful to you for the deed that you did. Our life is about seeing these difficulties and resolving them one at a time, one person at a time, one difficulty at a time. We pray that Allah (AJ) inspire us all to take a drop and to throw it towards these flames. That to be written for us that we did good when we saw all this badness and that we’re trying to improve ourselves in this cave and in these oceans of realities.
