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)

The First Ten Days of Ramadan is a Mercy

Alhamdulillah, Allah (AJ) inshaAllah, open the holy month of Ramadan. That as soon as they see the moon sighting, I think then Sunday will be the first night of tarawih (night prayer in Ramadan) according to their sightings. Then fasting for Monday and people following wherever their local schedule. But Allah (AJ) granting for us an immense month of blessings. That the holy month of Ramadan, the month is a sultan (king). It represents the sultanate (kingdom) of the heavens, the month in which Allah (AJ) will dress the servants with the realities of Holy Qur’an.

That Allah (AJ), this dress and this blessing upon the servants can only be achieved by fasting. That the first ten days of Ramadan is a mercy. Because of that mercy, people are even allowed and able to enter into the state of fasting. Without the rahmah (mercy) of Allah (AJ), fasting is very difficult because the nafs (ego) comes against that reality and anytime we try to do that level of worshipness, the nafs will block it. But because Allah (AJ) taught for us through the teachings of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that the first ten days is a rahmah and that that rahmah, Baab ur Rahmah (the Gate of Mercy), when it begins to dress upon this creation and anyone making the intention to fast, Allah (AJ) begins to chain the bad desires and chain their shaitans.

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

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

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

Make Intention to Fast Against Your Ego and Shaitan

As a result, that becomes an immense rahmah (mercy) for the shaitan of their bad desires to be chained. That the nafs (ego) is given an understanding that the servant has intended to enter into this siyam (fasting) and that to work with the servant, not to cause a difficulty for itself. It’s an immense mercy, immense dress, and immense blessing.

It’s a month in which Allah (AJ) wants to grant the rewards of Rajab and the rewards of Sha’ban. That whatever Prophet ﷺ is in a continuous mir’aj (ascension) to the Divinely Presence, that the ‘ashiqeen (lovers) whom are in a mir’aj into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, which is the qalb which is the qul of the qaf and “Qaf, wal Qur’anil Majeed” through the holy tongue.

﴾ق ۚ وَالْقُرْ‌آنِ الْمَجِيدِ ﴿١

50:1 – “Qaf, wal Quranil Majeed.” (Surat Qaf)

“Qaf. By the honored Qur’an.” (The Letter Qaf, 50:1)

Allah (AJ) is in the Heart of His Servant, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

It is the center of the power of the oceans of power known as a qalb. That qalb is the heart and the center of the soul of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in which making reference to this Divine reality, ‘I’m neither in the heavens or on Earth but I’m in the of qalb My servant.’ That has an immensely deep reality, immensely deep reality that we described in the month of Sha’ban.

“. عَنْ وَهَبِ بِنْ مُنَبِّهْ، قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ وَلَا اَرْضِيْ، وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلْغَزَالِي فِي اَلْإحْيَاء، وَ اِبنِ عَرَبِي فِي اَلْتَرَاجِمْ، صفحه ٢٢٤]

‘An Wahab ibn Munabbeh, Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Maa wasi’anee laa samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdi al Mu’min.” [Hadith al Qudsi, Al Ghazali fi al Ihyaa, wa Ibn ‘Arabi fi al Tarajim, Safha 224]

Narrated by Wahab the son of Munabbeh that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said that Allah (AJ) said: “Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.” [Holy Hadith, by Imam al-Ghazali in Al Ihya, and by Ibn ‘Arabi in al Tarajib, Page 224]

We Respect Man-Made Buildings But Not Allah’s (AJ) Creation

That Allah (AJ) and Prophet ﷺ teaching for us that if we just contemplate how much men respect what they built and we can see the danger. Egoism and the nafs is how much men respect what they build and they have the audacity to think that from what they built is holy. From what they built, they respect one another, ‘Oh, you built that for Allah (AJ)?’ ‘Yes, I built that.’ ‘Oh, you built that?’ ‘Yeah, I built that.’ ‘Oh, and you built that for Allah (AJ)?’ ‘Yeah, I built that.’ Because of that, they respect each other. But that which Allah (AJ) built, they don’t respect.

So, we see that what do people really worship? For if people truly loved Allah (AJ), worshipped Allah (AJ), they would not seek the structures and the buildings that men make, but they will seek that reality within the creation which Allah (AJ) makes. They would seek its reality. They would seek their Lord in that which Allah (AJ) made, fashioned with His two hands. It means his qudra and power and blew into it of His Divinely Spirit and realities – light, and qudra (power).

﴾فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ ﴿٧٢

38:72 – “Fa idha sawwaytuhu wa nafakhtu feehi min Rohee faqa’o lahu sajideen.” (Surat Sad)

“So when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul/spirit, then fall down to him in prostration.” (Saad, 38:72)

The Real Masjids of Allah (AJ), the Holy Companions, Were Destroyed By Mankind

Then that would be somebody whom truly loves Allah (AJ). This is the state of all awliya (saints) and their teachings, their qissah (story), their poetries. It was like a rhyme for people to figure. Because all men whom you like each other, you so pleased by your power, your authority, and you respect one another because of the structures that you built. But that which Allah (AJ) built, they don’t respect. That which Allah (AJ) built and blessed and made to be holy, they come against – derogatory, angry, vulgar. In Imam Hussain’s (as) case and Holy Companion’s case, they killed them. They killed and destroyed the real masjids of Allah (AJ).

Not only the structures that men built and they cry over when the bricks come tumbling down, but the structures in which Allah (AJ) built. ‘I built these holy hearts. I fortified it with My light and with My ishq and with My love and I put within it the presence and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ When Allah (AJ) describes, “Wa laqad karramna Bani Adam” – that we have honored the children and the reality of Adam and Eve because Allah (AJ).

﴾وَلَقَدْ كَرَّ‌مْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ…﴿٧٠

17:70 – “Wa laqad karramna bani adama…” (Surat Al-Isra)

“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam…” (The Night Journey, 17:70)

Do You Fast, But Only Feel Hunger?

Allah (AJ) created that as the khalifa (representative), put within that Nurul Muhammadi ﷺ (light of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) in which that light and that reality would shine. Its knowledges would illuminate the universes. Yet, men overlook that which Allah (AJ) built. They’re so happy with what they built and they emphasize that which they build, very holy; ‘Come to it’. They take aggression and rudeness against the true houses of Allah (AJ) and the true masjids of Allah (AJ) which are His servants. Those in which He built and created and those in which He illuminated their hearts with realities and the ishq and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

It means if people contemplate and truly understand how holy this creation is that Allah (AJ) created and everything that Allah (AJ) created with love and fashioned it with love, how to respect it and honour it and give it its appropriate respect because Allah (AJ) has created it. But we enter into a time where men respect only that which they make and not truly that which Allah (AJ) made. That’s the sadness of a darkened heart, a blind heart. They fast, but they only feel hunger. They don’t fast with all of their character and all of their senses. They remain blind with their ears and with their eyes, with their hands, and with their feet. They enter into Ramadan and they’re just hungry. They enter into masjids and they’re just tired and bored and checking their phone. It means everything became an external event when in reality, it’s secret held in an internal event. That when we rush to the masjid of Allah (AJ), which is the “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)

Fasting is to Make Your Heart Like a Masjid for Allah (AJ)

That they busy themself cleaning their hearts and making sure that no haram (forbidden) enters their heart; no hatred and rancor and disrespect enter their hearts because they want the light of Allah (AJ) in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If you come across someone thinking they have a heart that’s like a masjid, but they speak very vile, they spread lies and gossips and rumors. That’s why we tell people – try not to go places because most people are sick nowadays that they think they have a heart like a masjid. They even think that their masjid has a heart and this whole training and teaching is to give people the understanding that it’s all based on character.

If you’re trying to make your heart a masjid for Allah (AJ), then it has to be based on good character. We try our best to have good character. We try our best not to bring hatred and malice with a bad intention within our heart because then we just spread the bad intention and the bad character. That’s no longer a masjid of Allah (AJ). It becomes the house of shaitan and shayateen (devils). This way of tafakkur (contemplation) is a constant checking of oneself.

Allah’s (AJ) Name is Only Mentioned in Hearts By His Permission (Holy Qur’an, 24:36)

We see the people whom don’t appreciate tafakkur (contemplation), don’t practice their way of tafakkur. They’re not cleaning the house. They’re not preparing their heart to be a place of worship for themselves with their Lord. That everyone whom cleans their heart, washes their heart and begs and cries for Allah (AJ) not to allow shaitan to enter into their heart, their hearts become sincere. As a result of the sincerity within their heart, they begin to make like a masjid of Allah (AJ). That Allah’s (AJ) love occupies their heart and that love is the presence and the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Their hearts are in continuous salawat (praises) on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because he’s the zikr (Divine remembrance) of Allah (AJ). Allah’s (AJ) zikr, in His house, has to be within the heart. Otherwise, how can your masjid not be in the zikr of Allah (AJ)? Then those are the verses of Qur’an in which, ‘My homes, they don’t mention Me’. Allah’s (AJ) name is not mentioned within the home. Allah (AJ) doesn’t allow His name to be mentioned in their heart. It means the ones whom are ghafil and forgetful of their zikr, their salawat (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), the love of Prophet ﷺ as if Allah (AJ) has sealed them from the ability to remember Him in their home, in their heart, in their masjid.

﴾فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّـهُ أَن تُرْفَعَ وَيُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ فِيهَا بِالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصَالِ ﴿٣٦

24:36 – “Fee buyotin adhina Allahu an turfa’a wa yudhkara feeha ismuhu yusabbihu lahu feeha bilghuduwwi wal asal.” (Surat An-Nur)

“(Lit is such a Light) in houses, which Allah has permitted to be raised to honour; and that His name be mentioned therein: In them He is glorified in the mornings and in the evenings, (again and again).” (The Light, 24:36)

Face Yourself in Contemplation to Cleanse and Purify Your Character

It means everything Allah (AJ) has given to us is a gift and a responsibility. That if Allah (AJ) gives to us the tariqah (spiritual path) and we’re listening now to this broadcast. We’ll listen to it later on a rebroadcast at a different time, it’s a sign that Allah (AJ) has given to us an opportunity – an opportunity to rise, an opportunity to learn, and an opportunity to worship Allah (AJ) in the true house and in the true masjid of Allah (AJ); not in the structures that men built. That they find pride and arrogance and bad character. Those we can visit for entertainment purposes, but to worship Allah (AJ) within the true masjid, within the heart of the servant.

Many people don’t want to close their eyes to contemplate because they don’t like what they find within themselves and their character – an abode of complaints, an abode of mischief, abode of all sorts of surprises like a carnival. But those who busy themself purifying themself, cleaning themself, asking for istighfar (seeking forgiveness), making durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), constantly analyzing their heart and their condition – what they said and what they did for the day, the hearts become a masjid for Allah (AJ) in which they easily run within their heart. They enter into their heart and they make their salah (daily prayer) within their heart. They do all of the movements, but the reality of their salah is a mir’aj into their heart and into the Divinely Presence and the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

There is No Crookedness in Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, the Walking Book of Allah (AJ) (Holy Qur’an, 2:1-2)

This is the reality and the abode of what we’re asking to be open for the holy month of Ramadan. That “Alif, Laam, Meem. Dhaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feeh, hudan al muttaqeen”. It means the immensity of the Qur’an that’s opening and we’re asking from the secrets of Holy Qur’an from “A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” Surat Al-Fatiha and its…all its oceans of reality and then coming to “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Alif, Laam, Meem. Dhaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feeh.” That verily that this kitab (book), we’ve described now so many years, the kitab of Allah (AJ) is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

﴾الم ﴿١﴾ ذَٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَ‌يْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢

2:1-2 – “Alif, Laam, Meem. (1) Dhaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feeh, hudal lil muttaqeen. (2)” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“Alif, Lam, Meem. This is the Book that there is no doubt/crookedness in it, it’s a guidance for pious people who are conscious of Allah.” (The Cow, 2:1-2)

“Laa rayba feeh” – there is no crookedness in this reality of Prophet ﷺ, the walking book of Allah (AJ). You have tablets that have Qur’an. You have mobile phones that have Qur’an. You think Allah (AJ) just has paper and that you have the technology and Allah (AJ) has no technology? Allah’s (AJ) greatest technology was all of this was encrypted on the soul of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ at the moment that Allah (AJ) wanted to be known. Allah (AJ) has encrypted all the uloom and all the knowledges and all the reality upon the light and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Our life is to enter into the holy heart and retrieve its secrets.

Fasting Slows Your Life Down, Chains Your Devils and Allows for Spiritual Growth

As a result of these immense gifts and immense realities and immense blessings, this is the lights of Holy Qur’an emanating. Those whom they do their Qiyamul Layl (Nightly Devotion) is a time for them to take from the qudra and the power of their 20 rak’ats (cycles of prayer) while they’re meditating in that salah. When they do separately the reading of Holy Qur’an because they’re not combined for non-Arab. That when you don’t know Arabic and you want to sit for four hours not understanding what’s being recited, that was not the Qiyamul Layl.

The Qiyamul Layl is the way of tafakkur (contemplation) that Allah (AJ) gave to Prophet ﷺ: ‘At least your nation, for this 30 days once in this year, at least this month, let them also have an opportunity for spiritual growth’. It’s the month in which the whole nation should enter into their seclusion. That for 30 days, the fasting will slow their life. As a result of slowing, the chaining, chaining of their devils will lead them to have a gracious and generous heart. As a result of their fasting, they begin to read and meditate and pray. Each of them have an immense reality.

Recite Surah Al-Ikhlas During Tarawih Prayers to Be Dressed With Holy Qur’an

That in this Ramadan, we pray that when we make a Salatul Tarawih, whether you’re in jama’ah (association) or not in jama’ah, it doesn’t matter. That you pray your 20 rak’ahs with Surat Al Ikhlas. You can do two verse, two Surat Al-Ikhlas in the first rak’ah and one Surat Al-Ikhlas in the second rak’ah. Every three Surat Al-Ikhlas is the reward of an entire khatmil Qur’an (complete recitation of Holy Qur’an), that the entire Qur’an will be dressed upon that servant. You recite that 20 rak’ah in that fashion while you’re meditating in a nice, beatific, and fragrant space and asking Allah (AJ) “Subhana man qudrati wal baqa”.

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبْ بِالْقُدْرَةِ وَالْبَقَا

“Subhana man taqarrab bil qudrati wal baqa.”

“Glory be to Him who draws near to His Power/Omnipotence and Eternal Existence”

That, ‘Grant me from Your oceans of power’ which is the tajalli (manifestation) of the month of Ramadan. That grant me from these oceans of power, this eternal ocean of power that’s emanating from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That’s why all this training up to this time is that asking us to be in this madad (support) of the shaykhs, to be with our shaykh and in the presence and in the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That I don’t want to do my actions for myself. I’m asking to be nothing.

Your Qiyamul Layl is to Make Your Salah Like You’re Entering a State of Death

Rumi (Q) has poetries that, inshaAllah, we bring out is in Farsi. We say “bey-khud” – that you either you’re with yourself and every badness comes and you find offense in everything. If you enter a state of bey-khud that you lose your sound and this was the realities of muraqabah (spiritual connection). ‘I don’t want to do it with me. I already know my badness. Why I want to make my salah (daily prayer) with myself? I’m asking to be nothing. In my nothingness, I’m asking for the madad of my shaykhs and their madad all the way into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, ya Rabbi.

That all the haqqaiq and all the realities of Holy Qur’an, “Subhana man qudrati wal baqa” that every power and energy is coming from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Return me to my origin, ya Rabbi. When I make my salah, making myself like a state of death, entering into that ocean of power and asking to be dressed by that ocean of power’. That becomes the Qiyamul Layl (Nightly Devotion) in which they spend their night trying to take from these immense oceans of power.

Read Holy Qur’an in Your Language to Illuminate Your Heart

Then throughout the day or if they have time at night, they sit and read Qur’an in their own language. You don’t impress anybody by reading Arabic when you don’t know Arabic. You help shaitan to keep you ignorant. Mawlana Shaykh (Q) described even you open the Qur’an, the Qur’an will dress you. Its huroof (Arabic letters) and its malaika (angels) will dress the heart of the servant. Even you can run your fingers over the Arabic to take its barakah, its blessing, its dressing and kiss the Arabic.

But for the servant to achieve the realities in the uloom of the Holy Qur’an, then read in the language that Allah (AJ) has given to you. As a result of reading, we read with the state of contemplation in which we slowly read and illuminate the heart, illuminate the energies and the powers. When we come across certain words and we want to see what that word means, we go back to the Arabic, to the transliteration. That becomes then a beatific relationship in which the Qur’an is reading the servant and the Qur’an is illuminating the servant with knowledges.

Allah (AJ) Encodes His Might and Majesty at the Beginning of Holy Qur’an (Holy Qur’an, 2:1-2)

This becomes the immensity of Ramadan in which we’re trying to take from the energies of the salah, the realities, and the uloom and the knowledges of Qur’an. Then Allah (AJ) given to us, “Hudan al muttaqeen”.

﴾الم ﴿١﴾ ذَٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَ‌يْبَ فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢

2:1-2 – “Alif, Laam, Meem. (1) Dhaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feeh, hudal lil muttaqeen. (2)” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“Alif, Lam, Meem. This is the Book that there is no doubt/crookedness in it, it’s a guidance for pious people who are conscious of Allah.” (The Cow, 2:1-2)

That if you want from the reality of “Alif, laam, meem” because alif – ‘Izzatullah (Allah’s (AJ) Might and Magnificence). This is the whole unfolding of all knowledges. Why is it at the beginning of the Qur’an? It’s that Allah (AJ) is giving an encryption code. That if you want from “Alif, laam, meem”, if you want from the reality of ‘Izzatullah, that “La ilaha illAllah” is alif and that alif, Allah’s (AJ) Might and Majesty, resides within that reality.

Holy Qur’an is a Guidance for Muttaqeen, Those Who Enter Ramadan With All Their Senses

That Allah (AJ) is a hidden treasure wanting to be known and became known through the laam. This laam will speak for all of eternity about the alif. Then Allah (AJ) further describes then the description of this laam is meem and stands for “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ”. As a result, this is the unfolding of all knowledges. “Dhaalikal kitaab” and Allah (AJ) swears by this huroof, by its codes and its encryptions that ‘This book of Mine, there is no crookedness’. Others, everything crooked and none know it but hudan al muttaqeen. It’s a guidance for muttaqeen (those with high level of consciousness).

The muttaqeen come into our life and teach us if you want to be muttaqeen, then all your five senses must enter into Ramadan. You don’t enter to Ramadan looking at every type of horrific image, people, things that not supposed to be looked at. You don’t enter into Ramadan by listening to everything inappropriate, but yet your tongue and your stomach are fasting. You don’t enter into Ramadan with the indulgence of your senses and your feelings. It means every sense that Allah (AJ) gave to us for muttaqeen came into our life and said that fast with your hearing.

Keep Your Senses Clean in Ramadan to Bring Back Rahman

As soon as you begin and you call the azaan (call to prayer) for tarawih and the Ramadan has begun, make intention that, ‘Ya Rabbi, all my senses are fasting. Grant me a strength not to break my siyam (fasting). That let my ears to fast and hear only good’. Play salawats. Play Qur’an. Play the continuous remembrance of Allah (AJ). Find the playlist on SoundCloud that we have thousands and thousands of tracks. Nobody has an excuse. It’s streaming onto SoundCloud. Immediately, ‘Ya Rabbi, let my ears to fast’.

As a result of fasting, Allah (AJ) destroys the satanic energies and brings back the Rahman (The Most Compassionate) and all of its realities. Grant my eyes to fast. As a result, I try my best to keep my eyes to be clean from images although images are coming in immense speeds onto people. They try their best to keep their eyes to be clean. Even they wash, when they wash and shower, they shower and ask their soul to wash away all negativities and all badness that trying to enter from their eyes and into their heart. Just like a servant trying to fast, but yet sitting next to cigarette smoke. As you’re fasting, you’re contaminating.

Know Yourself Sincerely to Reach the Heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

So, the muttaqeen come to our lives and remind us that all your senses have to fast. That make sure your rizq (sustenance) and your hands are halal (permissible). Don’t type inappropriate things. Don’t go to inappropriate places with those hands. It means every sense to enter into the Ramadan. As a result, then they are imitating the way of muttaqeen (those with high level of consciousness) and what Allah (AJ) has promised for them: then this Qur’an is a guidance for you. That we ask Allah (AJ) to dress us, to bless us so that the clean ears, clean eyes, clean breath, clean hands, clean qadam (foot) and path is asking for this cleanliness to enter into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

That’s why the kholoq and the character. Prophet ﷺ says, ‘Oh, what tariqah are you?’ ‘I’m this tariqah, this tariqah, this tariqah.” But you’re hoodlum and you talk like a crook, you talk like a pirate. You act like a pirate and a crook and a bank thief. That for the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, everything must be clean. Everything must be sincere. Everything must be pure. Everyone should know themselves. If they’re not, they should know they’re not in the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That they make wudu (ablution) to enter the masjid. They overly clear their throat as if they’re going to cough their brains out to enter into the buildings that men made. What washing do you do for entering the masjid that Allah (AJ) made? That when you’re going to enter into your heart and you’re going to ask to enter into the presence of Prophet ﷺ, is clearing your throat important and bringing all your mucus out until you practically vomit? Or the cleaning of your heart is important?

Be With Nabiyeen, Siddiqeen, Shuhada wa Saliheen to Be Near Allah (AJ) (Holy Qur’an, 4:69)

That, ‘Ya Rabbi, I washed the outside donkey, no problem. But I’ve been busy trying to clean my heart. I want to be clean with my ears, clean with my eyes, clean with my breath, clean with my hands, clean with my feet. I’m asking to enter into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger), have pity upon my soul and grant me your audience. Grant me to enter into your qalb (heart) with nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhada (martyrs), wa saliheen (righteous), and that Allah (AJ) is with them.’

﴾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)

That we want to be near Allah (AJ). Allah (AJ) is with nabiyeen, siddiqeen, shuhada, wa saliheen. Only then, we really entered into Ramadan. That we entered into a state to reach the realities of the muttaqeen in which Allah (AJ) is encoding the beginning of Qur’an for them. That if you didn’t understand beyond on that point, it’s just a book of right and wrong. You couldn’t even unlock the first encryption. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us a greater understanding and allow us to enter the holy month of Ramadan with all of our character, all of our senses and all of our good character, inshaAllah.

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.
