Gain Allah’s (AJ) Satisfaction With Your Sincere Love of Prophet ﷺ
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)
Milad un Nabi ﷺ is an Immense Opening Each Year
Alhamdulillah, that Allah (AJ) granted us to enter into this holy month, Rabi’ul Awwal and these holy nights of Milad un Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ). We said that this night comes for a few nights of the year which is an immense opening. Every…it’s like a baab, a gate into a reality. Those whom been trained to observe it and come with ishq and muhabbat (love), good manners, good character, they have an immense reward from Allah (AJ).
That if they don’t know it, they know it; it doesn’t matter. Allah (AJ), inshaAllah, to plant the seed of that light within their entire being, within their soul that opens every reality and every rahmah and every mercy. It means that we described before that this is the oceans of immense tawheed (oneness). This is the reality of “La ilaha illAllah” wanting to be known through the creation of “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.”
La Ilaha IllAllah is a Hidden Treasure Wanting to Be Known Through Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
Without Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, nobody would have any understanding of La ilaha illAllah. That Allah (AJ) describes, ‘I am and I was a hidden treasure wanting to be known’ and the moment Allah (AJ) wanted to be known brought creation. That ocean, that light, is called Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]
Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.” [Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]
Allah (AJ) is Not in Heaven or Earth, But in the Heart of the Believer
That by celebrating the Milad and observing the Milad and having that love and respect, it’s a way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) back to these oceans of reality. That, ‘Ya Rabbi, grant me from the reality of that light when that light coming into existence.’ It is the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. It is the love of Holy Qur’an. It’s the immense love of Allah (AJ) because they found the treasure.
Allah (AJ) is a treasure wanting to be known. Common people and other people think they get to know Allah (AJ) by seeking Allah (AJ), but that’s an ocean very far away. Allah (AJ) described, ‘I’m not in heaven, I’m not on Earth. I’m in the heart of My believer.’
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]
Allah (AJ) Leads Us to Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ Through Guidance
“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)
It means this is a not so easy path that people just think they thought of it. ‘Oh, that’s the way. I’ll just go straight to Allah (AJ).’ Allah (AJ) is a hidden treasure, hidden treasure wanting to be known. It means that it requires the seeker to have a good heart, a loving heart, a kindness, a humbleness in which they’re humble to seek out, ‘Where, ya Rabbi, be with all my ishq and muhabbat for You, ya Rabbi, where are You?’
‘I’m so near that you can’t imagine and yet so far away from your understanding.’ The way of ma’rifah (gnosticism), the way of ishq and muhabbat and love, Allah (AJ) begins to guide us. That, ‘Come to Me. Accept My Oneness. Accept there’s nothing but Allah (AJ).’ As soon as the servant begins to move to that reality, Allah (AJ) begins to grant them a light and a love and hidayat (guidance). When Allah (AJ) want to grant the servant guidance, He guides them to Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
True Faith is to Love Prophet ﷺ More Than Yourself
So, we lay the foundation that those whom claim they love Allah (AJ), this is Allah (AJ) wanting to be known. Those who claim they love Qur’an, Qur’an al Majeed, this is the way to Qur’an al Majeed. Those that claim and love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, this is the Miftah ur Rahmah – the key of Mercy, the key of every opening. That as soon as we come for the love and the ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ begins to dress us, begins to bless us, give us the kholoq and the character of perfection.
As a result, these lights begin to enter into the heart of love. Then as soon as they observe the Milad, that’s why all awliyaullah (saints), wherever they go, the first thing they have to establish is Milad un Nabi ﷺ. It’s not something small. It’s not something where people say, ‘Oh, maybe there’s some controversy. We don’t have to discuss this.’ There’s no controversy. It’s the pinnacle of our faith. Iman (faith) is to love Prophet ﷺ more than you love yourself.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْن مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ” لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ “. [صَحِيِحْ مُسْلِمْ، حديث ٤٤، واَلْبُخَارِي، كِتَابُ الْإيْمَانْ، حديث ١٥]
‘An Anas ibn Malik (ra) qala, qala Rasulullahi ﷺ “La yuminu ahadukum hatta akona ahabba ilayhi min walidihi wa waladihi wan nasi ajma’yeen.” [Sahih Muslim, Hadith 44, wa Al Bukhari, Kitabul Iman, Hadith 15]
Narrated by Anas son of Malik (ra) that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children, and all mankind.” [Authentic by Muslim, Hadith 44 & by Al Bukhari, Book of Faith, Hadith 15]
Allah (AJ) Created Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ as the Point of Origin of Creation
So, how can you love Prophet ﷺ without knowing the reality? So, then these majlis (associations) of ‘aashiqiyoon (lovers), the one who came and inspire through love and they’re coming and say, ‘Ya Rabbi, this point of origin, this reality of finding You and understanding You and trying to know You, ya Rabbi, grant it to us on the Milad. Grant that light that comes into existence by that nuqt (dot), ya Gharami. What’s the nasheed (song of praise) we have?
Audience: Li nuqTatit ta’yini
صَلاَةٌ بِالسَّلاَمِ الـمُبِينِ
لِنُقطَةِ الـتَّعيِـيْنِ يَاغَرَامِىْ
Salatun, bisSalamil mubini
Li nuqTatit ta’yini, Ya gharami
Blessings, and infinite peace be upon the one who is the point of origin
And the source of all realities (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)), O our Beloved
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Ta’yini, that as soon as the nuqt came, Allah (AJ) wanted to be known. That point of boom coming into existence, that all universes coming into existence. Allah (AJ) created all of it to be known. All of that in Bahrul Muheet, all of that in Bahrul Muheet, the all-encompassing ocean. It’s a big meem, big meem.
Prophet’s ﷺ Light Was Created Before All Things
Bayna (between) Ahad wa Ahmad is meem. Allah (AJ) wanted to be known by the reality of this meem, that everything in it. When Jabbar, Hadith al Jabbar, when they asked Prophet ﷺ, ‘Ya Sayyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger), what was the first thing that Allah (AJ) had created?’ ‘The light of your nabi (prophet). Before there was an ‘Arsh (The Divinely Throne), before there was Baitul Mahmur, before they were paradises and angels, my light came into existence.’
عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ،” بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَوَلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ قَبْلَ الأَشْيَاءِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا جَابِرُ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ قَبْلَ الأَشْيَاءِ نُورُ نَبِيِّكَ مِنْ نُورِهِ، فَجَعَلَ ذَلِكَ النُّورِ يَدُورُ بِالْقُدْرَةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَ اللهُ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ لَوْحٌ وَلَا قَلَمٌ، وَلَا جَنَّةٌ وَلَانَارٌ، وَلَا مُلْكٌ، وِلاسَمَاءٌ وَلَا أرْضٌ، وَلَاشَمْسٌ وَلَا قَمَرٌ، وَلَاإِنْسٌ وَلَا جِنٌّ. ..” [رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ فِي مُصَنَّفَةٍ]
‘An Jabir (ra) Qala: Qultu: Ya RasulAllah ﷺ, “Bi Abi anta wa Ummi, Akhberni ‘an awwala shayin Khalqahu Allahu qablal ashyayi?” Qala ﷺ: “Ya Jabir, in Allah khalaqa qablal Ashiya e Nooru Nabiyika min Noorehi. Faj’ala dhalikan Noore yadoro bil Qudrati haithu sha Allahu, wa lam yakun fi dhalikal waqti lawhun wa la qalamun, wa la Jannatun wa la Narun, wa la Mulkun, wa la samaun wa la ardun, wa la Shamsun wa la Qamarun, wa la insun wa la jinnun.” [rawayati ‘Abdir Razzaq fi Musannafatin]”
Jabir ibn `Abdallah (ra) said to the Prophet (pbuh): “O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, tell me of the first thing Allah created before all things.” He (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “O Jabir, the first thing Allah created was the light of your Prophet from His (Allah’s) light, and that light remained (lit/”turned”) in the midst of His Power for as long as He wished, and at that time, there was no Tablet and no Pen, and no Paradise and no Fire, and no angel, and no heaven and no earth, and no Sun and no Moon, and No Human being and no jinn.” [Narrated by Abdirr Razzaq]
Allah (AJ) Brought Creation Into Existence By Kun Faya Koon (Holy Qur’an, 36:82)
From what light Allah (AJ) going to make that? La sharik (no partner). You’ll never enter into La ilaha illAllah. You can only witness La ilaha illAllah. There’s no Oneness for you to enter. La sharik, la shabi – there’s nothing like unto Allah (AJ). You can’t share a breath and a space with Allah (AJ). It means you can only witness that reality, but when Allah (AJ) wanted to bring creation into existence – boom, “Kun faya koon”.
﴾إِنَّمَا أَمْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢
36:82 – “Innama AmruHu idha Arada shay an, an yaqola lahu kun faya koon.” (Surat YaSeen)
“His Command is when He Wills/Intends a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it is!” (YaSeen, 36:82)
The Muhammadiyoon Crown is the Turban That Illustrates the Meem
All the light exists from that light. The angels were made and Allah (AJ) gave us a hint. They’re called malaika (angels). Meem. You wear the imamah (turban) because it’s a meem. You can’t wear this without the tail because the meem has a tail. Otherwise you’d be a…what’s the one without a tail? You’d be a ha. You are Muhammadiyoon. This is the crown of who you are. Malaika, that Allah (AJ) gave us all hints. What makes them to be noble is the Muhammadan light that Allah (AJ) made them from.
Baitul Mahmur, all of these paradises and heavens and realities and everything. ‘Arsh ar Rahman (Throne of The Most Compassionate), it’s all from the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Allah (AJ) is nowhere to be found. Allah (AJ) not sitting on a chair. This is Wahabi belief. Allah (AJ) created from the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, the Divinely throne and the servant sits upon the throne. Allah (AJ) sits upon his heart.
Every Angel in Existence Makes Salawat an Nabi ﷺ
Everything is from Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. All paradises are making salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). Every angel that comes into existence is making salawat an Nabi ﷺ. So, the Milad is the opening of that reality for the servant. That, ‘Ya Rabbi, we came with ishq and muhabbat. We came from a false existence and asking to enter into our real reality. Grant us an opening.’ “Inna fatahna laka Fatham Mubeenan.”
﴾إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا ﴿١
48:1 – “Inna fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena.” (Surat Al-Fath)
“Verily We have granted you [Muhammad (pbuh)]a manifest Victory.” (The Victory, 48:1)
Our Life is Like a Candle – We Don’t Know How Long Our Flame Will Last
Grant us a clear opening, a real opening in which Allah (AJ), by virtue of the Milad un Nabi ﷺ, open the heart of the servant from their fake existence to their real existence. Where Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would always say, ‘Seek eternity, seek eternity. Be eternal. Seek your eternal reality.’ Allah (AJ) gave us a fake existence, like a candle. Time is running out. You don’t know at what time your flame is going to go.
Allah (AJ) gave this flame for us, this candle. Some candles burn long. Some come in very short. Our life was to take this flame and make it to be real with the time have, with the money we have, with all the opportunities we have is, ‘Ya Rabbi, let me seek Your reality. Let me into the oceans of eternity. Let me into the oceans of Your reality.’ Then what Allah (AJ)? “Qul inni kuntum tuhibbon Allah…”
﴾قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ﴿٣١
3:31 – “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni, yuhbibkumullahu wa yaghfir lakum dhunobakum wallahu Ghaforur Raheem.” (Surat Ali-Imran)
“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Family of Imran, 3:31)
Strive to Follow the Way of Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ in Character and Mannerisms
Because these are now the ones whom are looking for the love of Allah (AJ). They’re coming, they’re honest, they’re sincere and Allah (AJ) is dressing them, “Qul inni kuntum tuhibbon Allah”. ‘Tell those who want My love, fattabi’uni. Fattabi’uni – follow you in everything’. Fattabi’uni never ends. It’s not one action.
That our whole life, fattabi’uni, is to follow the way of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ with kholoq, with character, with mannerisms, with beauty, with character, with class, with every beatific reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because Allah (AJ) loves what He created to be known by. He created Prophet ﷺ, the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, to be known by it. He made it to be the best, the most beatific, the most fragrant. When Allah (AJ) describes, “Khuluqal ‘azheem…”
﴾وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿٤
68:4 – “Wa innaka la’ala khuluqin ‘azheem.” (Surat Al-Qalam)
“Truly, You (O Muhammad!) are of a magnificent character.” (The Pen, 68:4)
Allah’s (AJ) Love is Always on Anyone Who is Muhammadiyoon
He’s so pleased at His own creation that, ‘You are of a magnificent character,’ giving us the hint: ‘Be from this character.’ “Fattabi’uni wa yuhbibkumullah” (Holy Qur’an, 3:31) Then we gained Allah’s (AJ) love and our whole life is then the blessings of Allah’s (AJ) love. That every time Allah (AJ) looks to us, He sees Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and Allah’s (AJ) love, again, dressing and dressing and dressing the servant because He created…‘As I created that to be known, I love that reality.’
When He looks to a servant and He doesn’t see, it’s a disappointment. But when He does see this character and beatific reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, Allah (AJ), “Yuhbibkumullah”. ‘My love is always on Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.’ So, it means that’s why we imitate. That’s why we have turban. That’s why we have beard. That’s why we wear the sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). We’re Ahlus Sunnah (People of Prophetic Tradition). It means that if you’re Ahlus Sunnah, you have to have the sunnah. Otherwise, don’t say you’re Ahlus Sunnah. You’re ahlul-you’re own self.
Be of Ahlus Sunnah Now Before You See Your Maker
So, Ahlus Sunnah, why? Because they love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They want to live and die in that image. If I’m going to die right now outside because you can’t prepare for your death. Say, ‘Oh, I’ll be dying in two months. By then, let me grow my beard and put my turban and look like that.’ I want to enter the grave looking like the one whom I loved. At any moment, I get hit by a bus. I’m going to see my Maker in the image of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
It’s for Allah (AJ) to judge – not only your image is correct, but your character is beatific like Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Then we gained Allah’s (AJ) satisfaction. All the praying in the world, if you don’t have that character, not going to help you. All the zakat (charity) in the world, if you don’t have that character, not going to help you. All the jihad and if not with that character, Allah (AJ) not going to help you.
Your Actions Won’t Gain Allah’s (AJ) Satisfaction as Much as Your Muhammadan Love
Every ‘amal (action) that someone can do, if it’s not with this character, it’s not going to help you because there’s Hadith for that too. That they brought the one whom prayed a lot and Allah (AJ) grabbed him and said, ‘Drag him with his face out of here.’
عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ, عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ :” لأَعْلَمَنَّ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِحَسَنَاتٍ أَمْثَالِ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ بِيضًا فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا” [سُنَنُ ابْنِ مَاجَهْ ٤٢٤٥, كِتَابْ ٣٧، حَدِيثْ ١٤٦]
‘An Sawbana (ra) ‘anin Nabiyi ﷺ annahu qala: “La’alamanna aqwaman min ummati ya’tuna yawmal qiyamati bihasanatin amsali jibali tihamata baydan fayaj’aluha Allahu ‘azza wa jalla haba’an mansura.” [Sunan Ibn Majah, 4245 Kitab 37, Hadith 146]
Sawban (ra) narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “I certainly know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah, but Allah (AJ) will make them like scattered dust.” [Sunan Ibn Majah 4245, Book 37, Hadith 146]
The one who gave a lot, Allah (AJ) brought to His presence and ‘Drag him with his face out of here.’ It’s not what saves the servant. What saves the servant is how much they are Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, how much they are Muhammadiyoon, how much they keep that love, how much they keep that character, how much they try to emulate the one whom they love and to be from that ocean.
You Will Be With Whom You Love
Why Allah (AJ) then described your protection, ‘How can I punish them? How can I punish them when they make istighfar (seeking forgiveness) and that you are amongst them.’ Because those ‘ashiqeen (lovers), another Hadith, Prophet ﷺ describe, ‘You’ll 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]
Allah (AJ) Doesn’t Punish Those Who Make Istighfar Because Prophet ﷺ is With Them
When we have this ishq and love for Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, he’s accompanying you every time, everywhere. You’re making durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and Prophet’s ﷺ light dressing Your light, keeping the companionship of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and making istighfar. Ayatul Kareem (Generous verse of Holy Qur’an) is describing, ‘How can I punish them when they’re making istighfar and you are with them?’
﴾وَمَا كَانَ اللَّـهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَأَنتَ فِيهِمْ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّـهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ﴿٣٣
8:33 – “Wa maa kaanal laahu liyu’az zibahum wa anta feehim; wa maa kaanal laahu mu’az zibahum wa hum yastaghfiroon” (Surat Al-Anfal)
“And Allah would not punish them and (while) you (Muhammad ﷺ) are amongst them, and Allah (AJ) would not punish them (while) they seek forgiveness.” (The Spoils of War, 8:33)
Allah (AJ) Grants a Light Within Your Heart When You Have Sincere Respect of Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ
It’s not a history. It’s not from that time, but Qur’an is from this time, right now. Allah (AJ) is giving a remedy, ‘How can I punish you if Prophet ﷺ is with you and you’re making istighfar?’ So, this is the daleel (proof) of the ishq and muhabbat to be Muhammadiyoon, that dress – Milad un Nabi ﷺ. Those whom observe and respect and love and have an ihtiram (respect) of the Mawlid (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ), Allah (AJ) grant an opening of that light within their heart.
That, that light entered their heart and begin to fight for them. That light enters into the heart. It’s the Muhammadan light that enters your heart. When it enters into your heart, his light ﷺ begins to fight for faith into your heart. You have no ability to keep faith in your heart.
Shaitan Has No Power Against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
If shaitan (satan) want to hit you, he would decimate you. But who shaitan has no power with? Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If Nurul Muhammad ﷺ (light of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) begin to enter into the heart of the servant, “Inna fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena. Liyaghfira lakaallaahu maa taqaddama min dhanbika wa taakhkhara yutimma ni’matahu ‘alayka fi siraathan mustaqima. Wa yansurakAllahu nasran ‘azizan”.
﴾إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا ﴿١﴾ لِّيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّـهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيمًا ﴿٢﴾ وَيَنصُرَكَ اللَّـهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيزًا ﴿٣
48:1-3 – “Innaa fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena. (1) liyaghfira lakaallaahu maa taqaddama min dhanbika wa maa taakhkhara wa yutimma ni’matahu ‘alayka wa yahdiyaka siraathan mustaqima. (2) Wa yansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza. (3)” (Surat Al-Fath)
“Indeed, We granted you, [O Muhammad], a manifest Victory. (1) That Allah may forgive you your faults of the past and those to follow; and fulfil His favor upon you and guide you to a straight path. (2) And [that] Allah may help you with a mighty victory. (3) (The Victory, 48:1-3)
If Nurul Muhammad ﷺ is in Your Heart, Nothing Will Stand in Your Way
It means that the Might and Majesty of Allah (AJ) is with Nurul Muhammad entering into your heart. Says, ‘I’ll forget everything you did in the front. I’ll forgive everything you did in the past. I set your entire account to be straight because if his light is in your heart, you are on Siratal Mustaqim (the Straight Path). Anything that comes in your way, “YansurakAllahu nasran ‘azizan.” I will decimate them, that nothing will stand in your path.’
If Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ light is in you, Allah (AJ) is with you because you now completed La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. They live in tawheed, not the people who think they understand tawheed and they don’t do anything from that reality. We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us these lights, the immensity of the Milad and the immensity of these blessings and that Allah (AJ) grant us from these realities for the sake of our love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, for ourselves, our families and our communities, inshaAllah.
Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa ﷺ wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
