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)

Allah (AJ) Granted Guidance to Youths Who Believed in Their Lord (Holy Qur’an, 18:13)

Alhamdulillah, Allah (AJ) granted us to reach to this day in which to see the holy month of Safar open and the month in which Allah (AJ) inspires those whom believe that, ‘Run from shaitan (satan).’ In our life, always running from shaitan and run to the cave of Allah’s (AJ) rahmah and mercy. That Allah (AJ) described in Surat al-Kahf that, ‘They believed. The youth whom had belief, that they entered into the cave so that Allah (AJ) could grant them guidance.’

نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِالْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى ﴿١٣﴾‏

18:13 – “Nahnu naqussu ‘alaika naba ahum bilhaqq; innahum fityatun aamanoo bi Rabbihim wa zidnaahum hudaa” (Surat al Kahf)

“It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.” (The Cave, 18:13)

All Knowledges Start From Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

So, it means that this teaching and this path, it builds our faith. Then the month of Safar comes and they remind us that, ‘Enter into the cave of immense rahmah.’ That’s when we talked and I asked somebody else what we talked about and was that clear and they say, ‘I don’t remember you even said that.’ So, everybody is picking up what they want to pick up on their antenna. The cave, it represents the reality of “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem”. All uloom and knowledges, they start from “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem”.

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

Allah’s (AJ) Divine Words are Continuously Emanating

Everybody’s familiar with saying ‘Bismillah’ for everything. You want to eat, you say, ‘Bismillah’. When you want to do something, you say, ‘Bismillah’. Whenever you want something good and want to do something good, you should be able to say, ‘Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem’ on that action. The cave represents that we’re on a journey into Allah’s (AJ) rida and satisfaction.

What we call ‘The Muhammadan Heart’ is a manzil ul Qur’an (where Holy Qur’an emanates) in which Allah (AJ) – just imagine what’s in this heart of lights that Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Speech, manzil ul Qur’an is the Qalb al Muhammadiyah (Muhammadan Heart). This beatific location in which Allah’s (AJ) Divinely words that are not created, continuously emanating because Qur’an didn’t stop. The words of Allah (AJ) didn’t stop. Allah (AJ) is in continuous Divine Speech into that heart.

Seek Refuge in Those Whom Allah (AJ) Has Already Granted Refuge

So, imagine the immensity of that heart, the beauty of that heart and entering into that heart, our whole life is about understanding “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem”. That is our protection and the door in which to every reality to open. So, again, “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem.” So, where is – I’m seeking refuge, I’m seeking protection in Allah (AJ) from the accursed shaitan.

Where is that? Where can you seek refuge in Allah (AJ) that protects you from shaitan when shaitan is everywhere? So, that becomes our understanding and the haqqaiqs (realities) in which awliyaullah (saints) have taught to us and we convey back. It’s that you have to seek refuge in those whom Allah (AJ) has already granted a refuge.

Run to the Cave From Shaitan’s Constant Pursuit

So, if everything on the sky was exploding and everything was about to attack and bomb upon your head and every type of difficulty to befall a person, they would run to a cave. They would look for a cave. Historically, they were very safe in caves. Even when the superpowers of the Earth were bombing and everything, people with pajamas and slippers were running into caves and no harm came to them. This is a physical cave and Allah (AJ) want for us to understand is: ‘Run to the cave.’

In all our life and in every action, shaitan is after us. That is the game of this dunya (material world). If we forget the game of dunya, then we have become lost to dunya. That’s when they describe, ‘You became heedless. You lost yourself.’ How you lose your[self]… [connection is lost] … in you and that shaitan wants to take you, to use you and manipulate you. That is the only purpose that shaitan wants; doesn’t want to help me, doesn’t want to raise me. Just wants me to be punished by Allah (AJ).

Allah (AJ) is Not on Earth Nor in the Heavens, But in the Heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

So, then “A’uzu” (seeking refuge) is our whole understanding. It’s that my whole life is to seek refuge in Allah (AJ) and that Allah (AJ) gave this refuge already to people on this Earth. So, then that refuge and the strongest cave in existence is Qalb al Muhammadiyah. That’s why Allah (AJ) describes that heart, ‘I’m not on Earth and I’m not on the heavens, but I’m in the heart of my believer.’

مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ ولا اَرْضِيْ وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ

“Maa wasi`anee laa Samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdee al Mu’min.”

”Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.” (Hadith Qudsi conveyed by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh))

Qalb mu’min baitullah.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: “‏ قَلْبَ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ 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)

What mu’min (believer) Allah’s (AJ) talking about? Allah’s (AJ) only interest is in Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So, it means Allah (AJ), in every direction, is guiding to us that, ‘The heart and this beloved heart is My house and I’m not on Earth, I’m not on heaven, I’m in the heart of that belief.’ So, make your life running into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So, we’re clear, the “A’uzu” is that: I have to seek refuge in Allah (AJ), but Allah (AJ) has granted that refuge. Otherwise, I’m running where?

Keeping Out of the Cave Opens Yourself to Attacks and Difficulties

Then all my life will be I don’t know where is protected. No, we know where is protected. The heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is protected by Allah (AJ). How then I can send my arwah (soul)? How can I send my soul into that cave? Because if my soul goes into the cave, my body, most definitely, will be protected. But if my soul is not in that cave and I don’t live a life understanding that cave and that reality, my body is open for every type of attack and difficulty, mushkilat – every type of testing that going to come upon this Earth. So, then what Prophet ﷺ described? ‘You be with whom you love.’

“عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: ‏… فَقَالَ )رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ(: ‏”‏ أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ.‏ [اَلْمَصْدَرْ: مُسْلِمْ:. ٧٥٢٠]

‘An Anasin (ra): … Faqala (Rasulullahi) ﷺ: “Anta ma’a man ahbabta.”

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (ra) that …the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “You will be with whom you love.” [Source: Muslim 7520]

So, our ticket to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is muhabbat (love). ‘You’ll be with whom you love.’ Not whom you think about and whom you often ponder about or someone whom you every now and then contemplate, ‘Oh, this was a great messenger and wow look, he’s in a book of 100 most powerful people.’ But he said, ‘You’ll be with whom you love.’

Build Your Love of Prophet ﷺ Through Your Salawats and Practices

So, our life is then to build the muhabbat (love) and ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. By doing that, these are step by step, step by step – very easy process. So, we want to go into a cave of safety. Be with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Hadith comes, then tells us: ‘Oh, you want to be. You’ll be with whom you love.’ Prophet ﷺ is teaching then indirectly, ‘Love me and I’ll love you. Love me, you’ll be with me and if you are with me, I’m with you.’

So, then everything in our life is to build this love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. As a result, that is entering into the cave. So, when I sit at home, I do my salawats (praises upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ), I do my zikr (Divine remembrance), I do all the awrads (daily practices) that were given to me and I make a special emphasis on the salawat. Salawat an Nabi ﷺ, it builds that ishq (love). It builds that love. That, ‘Ya Sayyidi, Ya Rasulul Kareem (Most Generous Messenger), this life has become difficult for me.’

Seek Forgiveness From Prophet ﷺ Because You’re an Oppressor to Yourself (Holy Qur’an, 4:64)

Who you want to talk to? You want to talk only to Allah (AJ)? That’s kind of arrogant. You don’t know yourself. You’re a human being and you cutting out the most important gift that Allah (AJ) has given to us is our messenger, our imam (leader). Allah (AJ) describes what? When you’re a zhalim (oppressor) to yourself, “Jaooka”.

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا …﴿٦٤﴾‏

4:64 – … wa law annahum idh dhalamoo anfusahum jaooka fastaghfaro Allaha wastaghfara lahumur Rasolu lawajado Allaha tawwaban raheema. ” (Surat An Nisa)

“…And if, when they had wronged [were oppressor to] themselves, they had but come to you (saws) and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.” (The Women 4: 64)

So, it means that when we’re sad and depressed, we admitted we are a zhalim (oppressor). What Allah (AJ) says then a zhalim to do? ‘Jaooka’ – is to go to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and ask istighfar (seek forgiveness). Ask My forgiveness in his presence.’

Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Sends Ten Salawats Upon Us When We Send One

So, when we sit and we make our tafakkur (contemplation), we start to make salawat on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. ‘Remember me, I remember you.’ As soon as you make one salawat, the presence of Prophet’s ﷺ soul comes to send ten salawats upon you; takes away every difficulty, every sadness, every mushkilat. Every knot in our life is resolved by this love.

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ – صلى الله عليه وسلم -: ” مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَ صَلَوَاتٍ، وَحُطَّتْ عَنْهُ عَشْرُ خَطِيئَاتٍ، وَرُفِعَتْ لَهُ عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ “

Qala Rasulullah (saws): “Man Salla `alaiya Salatan wahidatan, Sallallahu `alayhi `ashra Salawatin, wa Huttat `anhu `ashru khaTeatin, wa ruf`at lahu `ashru darajatin.”

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “Whoever sends blessings [Praises] upon me, God will shower His blessings upon him ten times, and will erase ten of his sins, and elevate [raise] his [spiritual] station ten times.” [Hadith, recorded by Nasa’i]

As soon as we make these salawats, make the salawats, this love and sincerity enters into the heart. That way, the sincerity begins to develop, ‘Ya Sayyidi, Ya Rasulul Kareem, your hisaab (account) is strong with Allah (AJ). My life has become difficult. Grant me a najat (salvation). That you are my wasilah. You are my intercessor. You are my imam (religious leader). That I love you more than I love myself. That please ask Allah (AJ) for a relief. Please ask Allah (AJ) for what I’m in need of. Please ask Allah (AJ) for my forgiveness.’

We Remember Allah (AJ) When in Difficulty Like Children Remember Parents When Needed

This relationship of muhabbat and ishq to make you become habbaib, to be the lovers of the reality, lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in which all their day and night is begging Allah (AJ). That, ‘Grant us the audience of the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ’ and the audience for that reality is only the broken hearted. That’s a ticket into the presence and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ – is to be broken hearted. The people whom everything is fantastic for them, they don’t think about these things. They don’t think about stopping. They don’t think about connecting. They don’t think about that love and the importance of that love. We gave the example as a parent. That’s why half of our deen (religion) is having a family. If you are capable and medically able or you have inherited or family of the community.

When you have a family, you understand. Your children, when everything is great, they don’t really need you. They don’t probably remember you. But as soon as they can’t pay a bill, they’re right in front of you. As soon as they have a difficulty, a hardship, something is not working – they are asking from your hisaab that, ‘Please help me. Take this difficulty away from me. Send me a support. Give me a support.’ Allah (AJ) is teaching through our families. That’s why it’s half our deen. That, ‘Look, you are their support. They rely upon you.’ Of course, they rely upon Allah (AJ). That’s an arrogant, ignorant person to think it’s not that. But Allah (AJ) says, ‘Go a little bit deeper.’ Don’t be superficial, say, ‘Everything is Allah (AJ).’ We know that. That’s kindergarten. But for the details, Allah’s (AJ) saying, ‘He’s relying on you. You help him. You support him. You take your child out of that difficulty because he’s your responsibility.’

Awliyaullah are Trained in Focus and Intercession

Same for the shaykhs. Their responsibility are their children that they brought into the world and the children that Allah (AJ) sent them in this world. So, Allah (AJ) sent them to be under the hands of these shaykhs like their children. Allah (AJ) is expecting that, ‘You pray for them. That you pray that these issues are resolved in their life. That they learn what they’re doing wrong and that you intercede for them.’

We said the intercession for shaykhs and awliyaullah (saints) who have been trained is Haqqiqatul Tawajjuh (Reality of Focusing) wa Tawassul (Intercession). Allah (AJ) open these realities within their heart. That Allah (AJ) open within their heart, the tawajjuh in which they can see the face because their heart is open. As soon as they make their connection, they see the face of their shaykhs. They see the face of the imams. They see the face of the companions and they see the face of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If necessary, they go into that presence and they make their tawassul. How can you make a tawassul when you don’t have tawajjuh?

Allah (AJ) Grants Guidance to Believers

If you’re not looking at the face and whom you’re talking to, your prayer is blind. The prayer of a blindman is he doesn’t know which direction he’s looking. He’s just making du’a (supplication). That’s okay, alhamdulillah. But when Allah (AJ) open the heart of awliyaullah (saints) because they went to the cave. They lived in the cave. They did all their practices in the reality of that cave. What Allah (AJ) describe in Surat al-Kahf, that, ‘These young people who believe, they entered into the cave and We granted them ‘hudan’ (guidance).’

18:13 – “Nahnu naqussu ‘alaika naba ahum bilhaqq; innahum fityatun aamanoo bi Rabbihim wa zidnaahum hudaa” (Surat al Kahf)

“It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.” (The Cave, 18:13)

Why Allah (AJ) would say, ‘You enter into a cave and you would be granted guidance’? Why don’t He say, ‘We granted them protection’? Weren’t they running from shaitan? Then why Allah’s (AJ) saying, ‘I granted them hudan’? They were youth who believed so disbelievers don’t run into caves. “Ya ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo aamanoo”.

﴾يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا آمِنُو… ﴿١٣٦

4:136 – “Ya ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo aaminoo…” (Surat An-Nisa)

“O ye who believe! Believe…” (The Women, 4:136)

Taking Yourself to the Cave is to Take Yourself to the Heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

So, they were people who believed. They entered in a cave. If this was just a regular story, why Allah (AJ) didn’t say, ‘We granted them protection’? But throughout the verses of Surat al Kahf, Allah (AJ) say, ‘No, We set their affairs.’ It means for the heavenly reality, ‘And we granted them hudan – guidance.’ (Holy Qur’an, 18:13)

﴾وَإِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا اللَّـهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ‌ لَكُمْ رَ‌بُّكُم مِّن رَّ‌حْمَتِهِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِ‌كُم مِّرْ‌فَقًا ﴿١٦

18:16 “Wa idhi’ tazaltumo hum wa ma ya’budoona illAllaha fawoo ilal kahfi yanshur lakum rabbukum mir rahmatihi wa yuhayyi lakum min amrikum mirfaqa.” (Surat al Kahf)

“When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease.” (The Cave)

So, why would cave be guidance? Because it’s not a physical cave. The cave is representing the qalb and the heart and they understood their life was to take themselves into the heart of the awliya, heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ with their zikr, with their tafakkur, with all their contemplation.

Whom Allah (AJ) is Rightly Guided, But Those Astray Will Never Find a Saintly Guide

As a result of that cave and the guidance and hudan that Allah (AJ) want to give, that’s why we said before last night, ‘Whom Allah (AJ) guides, He guides. Whom Allah (AJ) does not guide, they have no waliyun murshidun (saintly guide).’ Also, in this Surat al Kahf, verse 17 – ‘Whom Allah (AJ) guides, gives them guidance is guided. Whom Allah (AJ) does not guide; they have no waliyun murshidun.’

مَن يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ ۖ وَمَن يُضْلِلْ فَلَن تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُّرْشِدًا …﴿١٧﴾‏

18:17 – “…man yahdillahu fahuwal Muhtadi, wa man yudlil falan tajida lahu waliyyan murshida.” (Surah al Kahf)

“…He whom Allah, guides is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves to stray,- for him you will never find Saintly Guide to the Right Way.” (Holy Quran, the Cave)

The English they translated to hide the belief of Ahlul Sunnah wal Jam’ah, of awliya. They say, ‘It has no protecting friend.’ Oh, protecting friend – that sounds like a bodyguard. But “Waliyun Murshidun” means of a saintly guidance so that this saintly guidance from Surat al Kahf, Allah (AJ) is describing these awliya.

Waliyun Murshidun are Dressed With Guidance in All Senses

That, ‘Their hearts are open. When I grant My servant guidance, I grant them from six powers within their heart. I grant them the realities of their soul and their soul’s guidance.’ When Allah (AJ) want to make somebody rashidin (rightly guided), He dresses them from the realities of guidance so that their ears are guided, their eyes are guided, their breath is guided, their hands are guided, their feet are guided.

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، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا، وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ،…” [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, wa Yadahul lati yabTeshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha, wa la in sa alani la a’Teyannahu, …”
[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, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him…” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

So much so, that they are Rabbaniyoon (Lordly souls) and they have power of “Kun faya koon” because their will matches the Will of Allah (AJ), matches the will of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ fa “Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.”

أَطِيعُواللَّه وَأَطِيعُوٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ… ﴿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)

Complete Your Daily Practices Based on A’uzu, Seeking Refuge in Allah (AJ)

So, all of these is the secrets of this cave. It’s a cave of guidance. As soon as we enter into that cave and Allah (AJ) want to dress us and bless us from these realities, this is then the reality and the dress that Allah (AJ) want to dress upon the servant. We pray that Allah (AJ) grant more and more understanding that this love and this muhabbat – the key to entering into this cave and understanding “A’uzu” is that with this ishq and this love and salawats, attending the majlis of zikr (association of Divine remembrance) and salawat an Nabi ﷺ.

At every moment, making our salawats, making our zikrs, making our practices. When we’re at home and we come home from our work is to make our connection, do all the namaz and the things that Allah (AJ) has ordered. But at the same time, making our connection, doing our salawats and then building that love and that muhabbat for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that every difficulty to be taken and every reality to be dressed upon the soul. When we understood that, then everything we do, we’re going to base it on this “A’uzu Billah” (seeking refuge in Allah (AJ)) because at every moment, shaitan is trying to trick us, to break the A’uzu (protection).

Ask Yourself If What You’re Doing and Where You’re Going Will Please Allah (AJ) to Stay Protected

So, when somebody takes themself to a place that is outside of their A’uzu and then they ask, ‘Is there protection there? Will I be protected there?’ Most likely no because you are breaking willfully the A’uzu. So, our life was very simple to understand. You don’t need complicated fatwas (Islamic rulings) for everything. It’s very simple. That I want to live in the protection of “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem”. So, then don’t go somewhere where shaitan is inviting and where shaitan is pulling the person in. Keep the protection of Allah (AJ). Don’t go to places in which the A’uzu is broken because then you are leaving your shield of protection in life and it’s very simple.

Everything we do and everything we’re about to do and anywhere we’re going to go and anything we’re going to do is, I ask myself: ‘Is that breaking my A’uzu? That, I’m leaving the protection of Allah (AJ) and then no longer under the blessing of “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem”.’ If we can live that life and its understanding, at least this is now just the entry way into the understanding of that cave of protection. We live a life under that protection, the “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem.” That I’m moving towards the realities of keeping myself where Allah (AJ) is happy, doing the things that Allah (AJ), inshaAllah, happy with, trying to make Allah (AJ) at every moment happy with me, then building my connection with the love and the ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

Seek What You Love, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

When your love becomes ignited, you want to be around Muhammadiyoon. That’s why I said before and we said before, ‘You show me your friends and I show you who you are.’ So, you can’t say, ‘I love, I love the reality but my friends are all garbage.’ It means that if you love roses and you love the beatific fragrance of a rose garden, what do you do? You go to rose gardens and you sit in the rose garden. You say, ‘Oh, so beautiful, the fragrance.’ You don’t go hang out in a trash dump near the trash waste and say, ‘I just…I thought be sit here. I’ll sit here and do my meditation.’ Right?

So, what you love, you seek it. When you love roses, you sit in a rose garden so that you can admire Gul-e-Muhammadi and its fragrance and its character. When you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the ishq becomes solid within your heart, you want to be around Muhammadiyoon. You want to be around those whom have this immense love and ishq because you feel their love. You feel the fragrance of their love. Then what does it tell you when a whole bunch of ‘ashiqeen (lovers) are gathering? Then whom must be present?

Audience: Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Oh, very good. Thank you very much [Shaykh laughs]. Prophet ﷺ must be present at all the associations where ‘ashiqeen are gathering.

Prophet ﷺ Sends His Tajalli in Gatherings of ‘Ashiqeen

Allah (AJ) describe, “Khuluqal ‘azheem”. That, how could you have the best of…and most magnificent character and people are gathering for your love and you don’t show up? It’s impossible. It’s impossible that even to think like that. “Khuluqal ‘azheem” that Allah (AJ) describes the beatific character of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

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)

Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ can be infinite places all at the same time; doesn’t take anything from Allah’s (AJ) oceans of power. So, if one person sitting there with ishq and love, Prophet ﷺ must be there sending a tajalli (manifestation). If 500 people are sitting with ishq and love, Prophet’s ﷺ tajalli (manifestation) must be there, ruhaniyat (spirituality) there; nazar (gaze) upon them, dressing them, blessing them and interceding upon them. That can’t be understood and the immensity of its power can’t be understood. That’s why awliyaullah can only say that.

Every difficulty will be taken away by means of that nazar; not only difficulty because difficulty is your dunya (material world) which Allah (AJ) doesn’t care for your dunya. But that nazar that’s coming from the ruhaniyat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is enough to take you to the highest levels of your paradise realities; something that you can never lose. That the dress in which that comes from that nazar and that beatific grace that dresses the souls of the believers. It takes them to the highest levels of their paradises. Alhamdulillah, Allah (AJ) give us this love, give us this ishq and make that love to fill our hearts for our families and for your communities, 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.
