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)

Celebrate the Blessings of Imam Ali’s (as) Birth on the 13th of Rajab

Alhamdulillah for the blessings of seeing the 13th of Rajab and Allah (AJ) granting us this love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, his Holy Companions, his Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ), and Allah (AJ) giving and granting this love for Imam Ali (as) – Asadullah al-Ghalib (Victorious Lion of Allah (AJ)) karam Allahu wajhahu (may Allah (AJ) ennoble his face). That immense personalities and gifts from the Divinely Presence, that Allah (AJ) granted us this love. That we commemorate and celebrate this holy birth by our good deeds, good actions, and then to remember their lives and the immense reality that the Holy Companions and Ahlul Bayt represent the love and the example of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

That these immense souls are a sign from the greatness of the leadership and spirituality, and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That with the haqqaiq and realities Allah (AJ) bestowed upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, what He watered their souls and nourished their souls with of realities of perfection, of character, allowing them to achieve their maximum potential, allowing them to achieve Allah’s (AJ) Divinely satisfaction.

Prophet ﷺ is of Amazing Character (Holy Qur’an, 68:4), a Mercy to All Mankind (Holy Qur’an, 21:107)

So, with all the greatness of people and the immensities of what they achieved, we have to show that its credit goes back to the authority and leadership of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That by the immensity of “Khuluqal ‘azheem”, by the immensity of what Allah (AJ) poured into the reality of Prophet ﷺ, then look at what the nation has been gifted with, like the gardener whom nourishes his flowers that were immense trees that gave immense fruits.

﴾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)

This is when Allah (AJ) is giving “Khuluqal ‘azheem”, “Wa maa arsalnaka Rahmatal lil’alameen.” All these examples in Qur’an in which Allah (AJ) is giving a description of Prophet ﷺ that, ‘You are of an amazing character’. That in another ayatul kareem, ‘We would not have sent you but except that you’re a mercy to mankind.’

﴾وَمَا أَرْ‌سَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَ‌حْمَةً لِّلْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٠٧

21:107 – “Wa maa arsalnaka illa Rahmatal lil’alameen.” (Surat Al-Anbiya)

“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad (pbuh)], except as a mercy to the worlds/creation.” (The Prophets, 21:107)

We Nourish Ourselves of the Realities Prophet ﷺ Poured Upon His Holy Companions

These realities, we see upon the Holy Companions and Holy Ahlul Bayt. That what they were able to achieve of their maximum potential for this dunya (material world), we don’t even understand what they achieved of their akhirah (hereafter). That when they came into the hands of the one who makes them into suns, makes them into purification, muhyil qulub (reviver of hearts), mahidh dhunub (eraser of sins) – the one who revives the hearts and destroys and crushes the sins, it means we give credit to that immense reality. The immensity of Prophet ﷺ gave to us these immense souls.

What secrets and illuminations hide within the reality of Prophet ﷺ and what he fed them of these realities that we still nourish ourself and take benefit from? What Prophet ﷺ bestowed upon the soul of Imam Ali (as) of futuwwa (chilvalry) and good character, and that all tariqahs (spiritual paths) based on this reality that there are two doors to the holy Kab’ah. Those whom studied the realities of hajj (pilgrimage) and the book that we put out, and the realities and teachings of awliyaullah (saints). That Prophet ﷺ is the symbol of the Ka’bah because the Ka’bah is a heart. It’s not a house of stones. We don’t worship stones. We don’t make tawaf (circumambulation) around stones. That the house is symbolic and Allah (AJ) described through the Hadith so there must be a love for Prophet ﷺ to understand realities.

﴾٩٧‎﴿ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْكَعْبَةَ الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ قِيَامًا لِّلنَّاسِ وَالشَّهْرَ الْحَرَامَ وَالْهَدْيَ وَالْقَلَائِدَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ

5:97 – “Ja’alal laahul Ka’batal Baital Haraama qiyaamal linnaasi wash Shahral Haraama walhadya walqalaaa’id; zaalika lita’lamooo annal laaha ya’lamu maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardi wa annal laaha bikulli shai’in ‘Aleem” (Surah Al-Ma’idah)

“Allah has made the Ka’bah, the Sacred House, standing for the people and [has sanctified] the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the garlands [by which they are identified]. That is so you may know that Allah knows what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and that Allah is Knowing of all things.” (The Table Spread, 5:97)

Allah’s (AJ) Only True Believer is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Otherwise, they’re trying to look for it only in Qur’an, but Allah (AJ) put a key within the holy Hadith of Prophet ﷺ to open the Qur’an. The Qur’an doesn’t open for anyone except Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. Allah (AJ) hid the keys of his Holy Speech within the heart and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That ‘I’m not on heaven, I’m not on Earth, but I’m on the heart of My believer’ and the only believer for Allah (AJ) is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

“. 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]

Two Doors to the Kabah Represent Imam Ali (as) and Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as)

It gives to us that the Ka’bah is a symbol of Prophet ﷺ sitting there and ever-vigilant. The station of Makkah is the ever-vigilant and active state like the ‘one’ is the active state. The power is on and the nation is making tawaf (circumambulation). Allah (AJ) gave us the two symbols. There’s two doors to the heart of Prophet ﷺ and these are all the turuqs (spiritual paths).

The turuqs that are coming from Imam Ali’s (as) teachings as a companion and from the Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi order), coming from Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) is the one tariqah. These are the ways to the heart of Prophet ﷺ from the station of the Holy Companions. That’s why the doorknobs of the Ka’bah have hearts on them.

Ulul al Baab Guide the Tariqahs, Giving Their Secrets and Support

These are the Ulul al Baab, the ones whom guard the door to the presence of Prophet ﷺ. All the companions are bringing in that reality, but khasosan (specifically), it’s important that the ones whom were given the responsibility to form the tariqahs (spiritual paths), guide the tariqahs, and give their secret and imdad and madad (support) to the tariqahs to bring them like a path, a golden path into the heart of Prophet ﷺ because this is a path towards the heart and love and the ishq of Divinely Presence, the ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni”.

﴾قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّوْنَ اللَّـهَ فَاتَّبِعُوْنِيْ يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّـهُ … ﴿٣١

3:31 – “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha fattabi’uni, yuhbibkumullahu…” (Surat Ali-Imran)

“Say, [O Muhammad], “If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you …” (Family of Imran, 3:31)

When You Leave Good Character, You Leave the Spiritual Path

That the owner of the Ka’bah, Allah (AJ) is giving, ‘If they want My love, fattabi’uni (follow). They should take a path to these doors to reach to you ﷺ’. That the truthfulness in their character, the chivalry in their character is the foundation in the brick. “Tawasaw bil haqqi wa tawasaw bis Sabr”.

﴾إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ‌ ﴿٣

103:3 – “Illal ladheena aamano wa ‘amilos saalihaati, wa tawasaw bil haqqi wa tawasaw bis Sabr.” (Surat Al-‘Asr)

“Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (3)” (The Declining Day, 103:3)

Every brick on the path to the heart of Prophet ﷺ is based on this chivalrous character, honest character, good character, and manners. When the one whom leaves manners and leaves good character has left the path. When you leave good manners and you leave good character, you left the path. When you leave good manners and you leave good character, when it’s hidden not what’s all obvious. The path is not based on the coming together of ten people and sitting down in sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) items.

Your True Character is Defined in What You Do When No One is Watching

The path is what we do when we think no one is watching, but they’re watching. Allah (AJ) is watching, Prophet ﷺ is watching, angels watching, awliya (saints) watching. The Holy Companions are above awliya (saints). They’re watching and they’re looking to see that are you truthful in your deed and in your actions; not what you do for people because we know everybody performs for people.

But how do you perform for Allah (AJ) in your truthfulness and in your deeds and in your action and in your good character? That not to have bad character when no one sees and think that we have good character when everyone sees because this is a munafiq (hypocrite). That give the appearance of good, but in hidden is bad.

Nothing You Do is Unknown in the World of Light

These were the talks from the night before that in this Rajab and moving towards this world of light, Allah (AJ) confirms in our heart that this malakut (heavenly realm), kulli shay. It sees everything. It owns everything. Every action that you do, it sends a vibration into this malakut, into this world of light. Nothing you look at, nothing you hear, nothing you speak, nothing you touch is not known in this world of light. Every action that we do is on an invisible string for us, just to understand. Nobody operates in a vacuum with no responsibility.

Allah (AJ) describes, ‘Have you ever been a thing forgotten?’ Is there anywhere that you can go where you think whatever you do, say, and how you act, Allah (AJ) is not knowing? Prophet ﷺ from holy Hadith is that, ‘I give you My seeing,’ that sees with the sight of Allah (AJ), hears with the power of Allah (AJ) is not knowing and the angels not knowing, Holy Companions and Ahlul Bayt not knowing, and the awliya not knowing?

عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ‏،‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ‏:‏‏ إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ‏:”…وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْت سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ،…” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ : InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ …, wa la yazaalu ‘Abdi yataqarrabu ilayya bin nawafile hatta ahebahu, fa idha ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul ladhi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul ladhi yubsiru behi,  …” [Hadith Qudsi, Sahih al Bukhari, Raqam: 6502)

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that: Allah the Almighty said: “…My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees…” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

Leave Your Hypocrisy to Enter the Way of Futuwwa

So, the way of futuwwa (chivalry) is to leave hypocrisy, leave the actions in front of people and put the actions in front of Allah (AJ). That when no one’s around, my meditation and my tafakkur (contemplation). When no one’s around, my muhasabah (accounting) and then asking continuously Allah (AJ) to forgive me, grant me good character. Grant me good deeds. Grant me good actions so that I can inherit from their way.

These noble souls, they give so much support, so much light and so much action. Futuwwa and the way of chivalry is based on these characters. What Allah (AJ) gave of “Khuluqal ‘azheem”, gave of this magnificent character of Prophet ﷺ, these are the responsibilities of these companions. That these are the treasures Allah (AJ) gave to me of my character. Instill these characters upon these souls upon the Earth.

﴾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)

Take Your True Accounting and Question Your Actions

Even in the midst of all their darkness and zulum (oppression) and every type of evilness and wickedness attacking them from six directions, instill within their heart goodness and good character to continuously make their maghfirah (forgiveness), their tawbah, their repentance and continuously connect their heart and souls, make their accounting and muhasabah. ‘What did I do today? What did I do wrong today?’ Life is not about lying to people that I’m good.

But my life is about taking a true accounting of what I’ve done wrong and asking Allah (AJ) every day, ‘Ya Rabbi, forgive me, forgive me. Don’t allow me to be a hypocrite because if this hypocrisy goes out of control, I will come against my shaykh and then I will come against everything that’s holy. I’ll find issues in Hadith. I’ll find issues in this. I’ll find issues in that’ until, God forbid, you begin to try to find issues in Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the demon has overtaken the individual.

Look to the Immense Souls of Those Closest to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

It means what the companions want for us, remind for us that whatever they achieved and whatever we want to say of their greatness and the immensity is all due to the immensity of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Without that type of leadership, without that type of sultanate (kingdom), without that type of kholoq and character, without that type of madad (support) and energy reaching to them, blessing them, uplifting them, dressing them; they are the byproduct of their Nabi ﷺ.

Their accomplishments are the accomplishments of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that Allah (AJ) could show the trophies to all creation. That if you want to know what a powerful nation is, look at the immensity of these souls on these holy nights that Allah (AJ) gave to us: Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as), Sayyidina Umar al-Farooq (as), Sayyidina Uthman (as), Imam Ali (as) – all these amazing souls – Hazrat Fatima (as), all the Holy Companions, all the Ahlul Bayt, all the imams.

Through Good Actions, Make Your Gravity Move Towards Prophet ﷺ

All these gifts and jewels are the crowns of the crown of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. This is the treasures of the heavens Allah (AJ) bestowed. So, everything directs it back to its leadership and sultanate (kingdom). If we do things right and we have good character and we try our best to come against the directions that shaitan is attacking: he’s attacking from your fashion. He’s attacking from your desires and music and sounds and food. He’s attacking from every direction so that the gravity will throw us into a spin of darkness. They give to us and they give a himmah (zeal) to us. Fight that attack and make your gravity move towards Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

If we do everything correct with that love, with that ishq and with that goodness, then what we put out to the world should be a sign of the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That’s the importance of what we do. It means the people whom are putting out and trying to write articles, trying to put AI, trying to put images, trying to put zikrs (Divine remembrance), trying to make productions – every type of khidmat (service) – people putting together books and articles and every aspect of khidmat and service is a reflection of the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

We Do Not Move in Action Without the Nazar of Prophet ﷺ

None of it could be done without the nazar (gaze) of Prophet ﷺ. Not the one reciting, drumming, singing, writing, producing, nothing. Without the madad and nazar of Prophet ﷺ, you would have been glued to your couch or your head to your pillow on your bed and never wake up. Some people say they want to sleep 20 hours a day because shaitan defecates upon them and they can’t lift themself. Without the himmah (zeal), without the nazar (gaze), without the love of Prophet ﷺ, none of this can be done.

The fact that it’s being done is the power of Prophet’s ﷺ nazar upon people. Putting out now, hundreds, hundreds of posts; everybody putting out from the AI, a subject that’s interesting to them, a post interesting from them, putting out beautiful graphics according to what they like. These are the result of the himmah of the love of Prophet ﷺ. Others that don’t do it, maybe they lack the guidance towards himmah. It’s not okay for people just to sit and do nothing. If you do nothing, you’ll be washed away as nothing.

None of the Holy Companions Did Nothing and Slept the Day Away

If you serve no purpose on this Earth, better you go back home. There’s no reason for you to be here. When people sitting and praying at night, ‘Oh, protect me, protect me.’ For what? Your life is for what purpose? An immense battle has begun. If your life doesn’t serve akhirah (hereafter), what’s the purpose of it? It means these souls are coming to inspire us. Look at their example. Have you heard of a story of a Holy Companion that met Prophet ﷺ and slept all day or made his own money and went away? We didn’t hear about these kinds of companions. ‘Oh, they were so and so, and he met the Prophet ﷺ, became very wealthy, and he moved away’.

But for us, when we talk about companionship, it represents accomplishments. People arguing: who’s the greatest companion? Doesn’t matter, they’re all great. What makes them to be amazing and astonishing was their accomplishments, the immense love they had. That whatever Prophet ﷺ asked them of them, they did immediate. They gave everything. They fought battle after battle after battle. Many whom gave their lives and everything in the way of Allah (AJ). It means the story of companionship is the astonishing reality of what they accomplished. What they accomplished was because of the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that Allah (AJ) would show all of creation, ‘Look at the greatness of their Prophet ﷺ that he produced these great Holy Companions and Holy Ahlul Bayt and with them, they illuminated the entire Earth and universes’.

Our Nobility and Honour is What We Accomplish Upon This Earth

But we only know of this Earth. Tariqahs (spiritual paths) are to uphold the same way. Tariqah was not lazy man association. Everybody come, say they have a shaykh, shaykh does everything and we do nothing. But this real way of futuwwa (chivalry) because people have to recognize what they have. The real way of futuwwa, the one whom supported by Imam Ali (as), by Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as), comes and shows, ‘Get up and do something. Your nobility and your honour is in what you accomplish on this Earth. As we did for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, you shall too do it’.

Do all that you can for the love of Prophet ﷺ. Wear your sunnah, give food, give clothing, put out articles. MashAllah, there’s so many articles coming from our AI. Don’t take from anything else. Take from these teachings that hard for me to follow, so many posts coming out every day. These are like bombs against shaitan. Knowledge is the greatest weapon against darkness. Shaitan is throwing darkness everywhere, and now our people with himmah (zeal) are throwing lights and throwing lights and throwing lights.

Don’t Become a Couch Potato Rooted Down Without Moving

We came together tonight for the reality of Imam Ali (as) and they’re inspiring that: look, the reality was based on this love. They fought and conquered and lifted and did everything to break the way for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ; all due to the madad (support) and tajalli (manifestation) and the greatness of Prophet ﷺ and the love for Allah (AJ) that gave them that support. Said, if you love Prophet ﷺ, go out and conquer. Stand up. Go out. Push the knowledge. Give out charity. Do good deeds. Make comments. Share links – some things that are so easy. Don’t become a potato in which you do nothing and you just become rooted into the floor and into the couch. The world becomes something that you just observing and you serve no purpose to be alive on this Earth.

Right now, they’re writing names like who’s been good and who’s been bad, who’s staying, who’s going. We ask ourselves, do we want to stay? If you want to stay, what’s the purpose of your staying? ‘Ya Rabbi, give me a purpose. Let me document and spread knowledge of this love from my shaykh.’ Don’t make your own mission. Help the shaykh’s mission. Don’t make your own projects. Follow the shaykh’s projects. We’re not making a tariqah within a tariqah. That, ‘Let me to propagate. Let me to recite. Let me to give food. Let me to do all of these different services’ and then you see the Muhammadan movement on this Earth.

Holy Souls Before Us Conquered the World With Knowledges and Good Actions

We said: wear the logo so people know who you are and who you’re with so that they too can understand and maybe come to some understanding. Islam and tariqah (spiritual path) is not about just you accepted, sit down and became a potato rooted into television and chips and doing nothing. But your faith should have driven you like the Companions. They wanted to conquer the Earth for Prophet ﷺ. He gave so much imdad (support), so much madad (support) to them, they literally did. They took out every pocket of darkness and illuminated with their knowledges, with their sciences, with their algorithms.

Everything we have on this Earth is from them and the awliya (saints) who came and bore the fruit from these Holy Companions and Ahlul Bayt. So, our way is a way of action. If we love Imam Ali (as) and we love Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as), our way is to live like them, to do great deeds so that we show the madad and the support that’s coming to us. You change the profile or the scenery of social media.

Look to the Holy Companions and Awliya to Follow the True Sunnah

When these systems dominate the keffiyeh and the wrong look. They studied the keffiyeh and they said, ‘Oh, this came from the British.’ When they were in restaurants in the Middle East, they would take it off the tables, literally the tablecloth, go out into the desert. This is not the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ. Now you see being blanketed upon social media, the holy turban, the jubba (robes), all the beard, everything. The image of awliya (saints), the image of the Holy Companions, the image of Ahlul Bayt, the image and the realities of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that every nation begged from a piece of the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ.

What could be much…what could be better than propagating the image of these realities, their rings, their ‘asaa (cane), their turban, the beautiful beards but all according to sunnah? Not to look like other religions. The sunnah is a trimmed beard, trimmed mustache, beard, beautiful sunnah with a tail – with a turban, with a tail. All of these images, they speak a thousand words. This is…this is the immensity of this reality. That when they have support from these Holy Companions, when they have the support of Prophet ﷺ, the real guidance and futuwwa is to inspire other people to make their faith real.

Keep Praying for More Himmah and Good Character

Don’t go around and just bring a thousand people and they do nothing, absolutely do nothing. You don’t have to bring anybody but broadcast good character, good manners. Inspire people to have himmah (zeal) and go out now and produce knowledges, propagate knowledges that other people are reading and now repeating. Put out the videos. Put out the SoundCloud soundtracks. Put out all of these images and artwork and everything that we’re doing. This is the way of companionship. If it is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that we love and the Holy Companions that we love and Ahlul Bayt that we love, then it must be the fruits of our deeds as its proof. What have we done? If you look, then alhamdulillah, SMC looks very good. The SMC family, mashAllah, their fruits seem to be everywhere. This is a sign of goodness. This is a sign of immense blessings and himmah that, inshaAllah, Allah (AJ) give everybody more and more strength, more and more love.

In all your prayers, keep asking Allah (AJ) for more himmah, for the love and ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. But most of all, give us good character because hypocrisy cannot succeed. Bad character never succeeds, but to give us the goodness, the softness, and the sweetness so that Allah (AJ) be pleased with us, Prophet ﷺ be pleased with us, all the Holy Companions be pleased with us, Ahlul Bayt be pleased with us and their madad and support flowing, overflowing upon all of us, regardless of who likes us, dislikes us, or has bad eyes for all of us. It doesn’t matter when you’re surrounded by the oceans of love and support. We pray that Allah (AJ) increase that love and that support and that we keep ourselves always under the nazar of Sayyiidna Muhammad ﷺ, the Holy Companions, Holy Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ), awliyaullah fis samayi wa fil ard (in the heavens and on earth).

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.
