Hear and Obey: Staying Anchored to Divine Light in an Age of Deception Q&A

September 20, 2026 September 20, 2026

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)

Miracles of the Naqshbandi Grand Mawlid (Celebration of The Birthday of Prophet ﷺ)

Alhamdulillah. What we got from our group inshaAllah. MashAllah the immense immense Mawlidun Nabi ﷺ after 10 years of the Milad in Vancouver when we first started, few of our Nasqhbandis with lot of strangers open to the community. This year was a lot of Naqsbandis with a few strangers. So this was an immense occasion that the people whom heard the call and they came. That from wherever they were, from wherever part of the world they were in that they heard the call to come and celebrate with us.

They had the ability that Allah (AJ) opened for them through their airplanes, their tickets, their rooms, their cars. All of what they put into that Allah (AJ) inshaAllah reward them. Nothing in Allah’s (AJ) way is wasted. Allah (AJ) give a million times in ways that nobody could imagine. That’s immensity. That once or twice a year for people to come and show the immensity of their love. With all of the SMC logos, the holy turbans, the beards, the sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). Outside communities that were attending I think they were more in shock. That where all these Naqshbandis came from and where all these faces from different nationalities?

It is not just one nation, one group of people but jami’ul naas – the gathering of mankind for the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They get to witness the miracle and this I think was an amazing, amazing year. In which people came and the people whom witnessed it then they could see that. The love of Prophet ﷺ and the real love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ brings this miracle. That it breaks down all barriers, all nationalities. All differences they become nothing in the presence of the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. In which mankind will enter in Islam in droves coming. Because of that reality and the blessings of “La ilaha illAllah” and the power and the reality of “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.” InshaAllah.

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.”

So alhamdulillah for all those who came, all those who wanted to come. All those whom supported for these events to happen, alhamdulillah inshaAllah next year even grander inshaAllah. What we got from our online SMS family, inshaAllah?

**Question 1: Is feeling helpless normal in tariqah (spiritual path)?**

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Helpless? I don’t know if helpless. That we’re in an ocean of Allah’s (AJ) Might and Majesty – can be helpless but not hopeless.

Helpless is that Allah’s (AJ) Might and Majesty, we’re big fish in small pond. But in Allah’s (AJ) Presence you’re a small fish in a huge ocean. So it can be overwhelming for people. Now if you’re doing the meditation, tafakkur (contemplation) and the energy. Or you just came new and just asked that question is different. If you’re new and ask that question then welcome to you, you’re a small fish in a big ocean. If you’re already existing student then you should have your meditation book [A Timeless Reality], your ta’weezes (prayers for protection), your practices. All of those realities and practices and should be well acquainted with this reality, inshaAllah.

Question 2: When Sayyidina Musa (as) returned from the Divine fire, was he embraced by his community or were they agitated by the fire that was now in him?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: I think his community has always been agitated by his light. That’s why they always argued with him (as). We have talks on that on the energy book [In Pursuit of Angelic Power]. Any time you do light practices, energy practices, people’s devils become agitated. So this should be something obvious. You put on an energy charge and you go near rats, what happens? Do you think they welcome you? No, so some of these things you have to have sort of an obvious understanding.

That the bad energy are like rats and you come with a positive energy, Divinely lights and you put that down towards these creatures. They’re not going to be happy and come up and try to embrace you. It agitates bad things, it agitates devils, it agitates rats, it agitates everything. Because they like stinky, dirty unpleasant environment. Anything that comes with the light of heaven and the fragrances of heavens, of course they’re not happy. The only people happy are the inhabitants of heaven. So, heavenly practices will attract heavenly beings. They’re happy with you. Dunya (material world), no. They don’t like anything except the filth of dunya. Could do something horrible and filthy and dirty and all dunya people happy with you. As soon as you do something heavenly then dunya people become angered by you and with you because of the energy, inshaAllah.

Question 3: I recently reviewed the video of the levels of the heart. When the struggle intensifies and we feel weak, keeping failing, does it stop us from moving forward and back to step one?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Does what stop the person to fall back? When they practice what they can practice, they try to improve themselves. If they can’t improve themself then they stuck at that level. In which they have to work hard to struggle against that. If they fall backwards then they fall backwards and then they keep re-struggling to improve themselves.

So it is like a ladder; if you went up five steps and you saw the blue window or yellow window and then you say, ‘Well I took a break, I came down. I went jogging, I went here, I went there. I did this. Am I going to still be at that yellow window?’ No, you have to get on the ladder, go back up. So you have to continuously practice, continuously try to achieve and try not to fall down. You can take a break. But if you didn’t fall from that then you reconnect and reestablish your connection and your practices. So, everything is a continuous movement. As if you exercise and then don’t exercise for two months, you can’t use the same level of weights. Because the muscles have to be built, they have to be continuously developed.

So there is no difference in spirituality. You have to continuously develop the connection. If you leave the connection, all of the darkness of dunya rebuilds itself upon the person. It calcifies the individual with dirtiness of dunya. So every time we make the connection and energy comes, burns away all the dirtiness, brings all sorts of clarity and energy. It is like not showering for a week then two weeks then 3 weeks. Are you as clean as when you did shower because you showered once? No, so every week you’re going to shower, every two days you’re going to shower. Some people shower every day to keep a state of cleanliness. So these are all like analogies for us to understand. If we don’t use it, we lose it. So we have to continuously build the system; otherwise, the darkness doesn’t go away and the difficulties don’t go away.

Every day there is more negative energies being thrown upon us, on our heart, on our eyes, on our entire being. If we don’t connect to burn it off, does the next day mean it is easier? No, it became harder. The longer you stay away from it, the harder it becomes. So when your boat is anchored to the island, you just jump off and come onto the island. But shaitan (satan) plays with you and says, ‘No, you don’t have to be anchored. You don’t have to be that close, don’t worry about it. You can go five miles off of the sea, don’t worry. You can still see the island.’ But now try to jump off your boat and come to the island five miles away, you’ll drown at sea. It means you’re too far now. It is going to be very difficult for you to approach. That’s how shaitan plays with people. So keep yourself close, anchored in – email [[email protected]], communicate, practice. So that the connection is strong, the practices are strong. It is only going to get more difficult in this dunya, inshaAllah.

Question 4: Sayyidi we were watching Yunus Emre and we’re wondering are the seven sleepers related to the seven names that govern us. Were the seven one?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Seven sleepers? They have a reality in the levels of the heart but not the reality of your seven names. So everything has an interconnectivity. But most important is that to make the connection, build the muraqabah (spiritual connection) and make the connection with the shaykh, inshaAllah.

Question 5: Does the West Coast have higher demonic activities than the rest of North America?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: I don’t know if it is higher demonic activity but it has a much more significant demonic activity because of Hollywood. This is their media headquarters. So this is where they propagate their belief system. So they have pretty nefarious activities, yeah. It is definitely not the reality of Disneyland so these are all the illusions that shaitan puts upon people. So that their base of propagation in which to spread their belief system and disbelief across the earth. So most definitely it has an immense reality, inshaAllah. That, Allah (AJ) has a counter for that, inshaAllah.

Question 6: Sayyidi I’m confused about the reality of Sayyidina Musa (as) being very dark skinned and how his nation today isn’t that. Please forgive me.

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Why are you confused? Are you from the nation of Sayyidina Musa (as)? Yeah that’s the whole thing that’s on the internet. That the nation of Sayyidina Musa (as) very, very dark skin. They were all dark skinned until a group of European people accepted the religion and they became the head of that religion.

So the Sephardic race which are the original nation are dark skinned. I think they they have traditions within Ethiopia as they said was a lost tribe but probably more of the original tribes. Then the Europeans took it over, took control of it and basically claimed it as theirs. Hence, the European image that you have of Nabi Musa (as) from Hollywood – blonde and super built and big. This is only from Hollywood’s understanding. But very dark skinned and most of the Prophets (as) of Bani Israel (children of Israel) were dark skinned. Queen of Sheba and Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) and queen Sheba was from I think was in Eritrea or Ethiopia.

So no, that was the history. That’s why we said now nothing in this life of ours is correct. Everything we think we know we have to unknow because his-story. So whoever ‘his’ was, he made a story. Then if he had a camera and a radio he made ‘his-story’ even more believable. So whoever has a camera and radio can control the hearts and minds of people. But it doesn’t acknowledge the true history of mankind. So this is the condition on this earth – is that everything is somebody’s version. Whose version? But it is not necessarily heaven’s version.

So even they have an organization called the Who [WHO-World Health Organization] and it has nothing to do with Hu, right. It has to do with fir’aun (pharaoh). So these are the life in which we live. This life is but a deception and deceit. When Prophet ﷺ gave to us that, ‘Wait for dajjal (man/system of deceit).’ It means what? We would be living in a time of great deceit. Because a person of deception doesn’t just appear and everybody would be shocked, ‘Oh what is this? This is deceiving!’ But we’re so engulfed and so surrounded by deceit, people don’t even know it is deception anymore. That’s the extent of how bad the deception is.

It is that people don’t even know they’re being deceived. They’re confused about the earth is flat or round. They’re confused about their color, they’re confused about their origin. They’re confused about history. Was there electricity before? Some people say there was and other civilizations had it. There was energies and realities. The pyramids definitely were not tombs. They were power plants. They weren’t put across the earth elaborate structures to bury one person and that one person couldn’t have even built that structure. So it means other technologies were used, other realities were used to build these things.

So the true history of earth we don’t know, not through their books. But those whom open their heart and communicate with their heart, Allah (AJ) will reveal in their heart from heavenly truths. That’s what we said that why are not people trying to connect with their heart and their consciousness so that they can talk and understand and learn from the speed of thought? That these other creatures that’s how they’re communicating. So it means the consciousness has to be developed, the connections have to be developed. So that to traverse the great deception upon this earth and it gets worse and worse and worse.

We said for non-Muslims look at all of the deception that they live on a daily basis. Their holidays are not holy. When you want to know a Heavenly religion, every event for us has to do with immense realities of the heavens. Look we celebrated the birth of Prophet ﷺ, later we’ll have Isra wal Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension) – a voyage into the heavens. Later we’ll have a Ramadan – we’re fasting for the heavens and to glorify the holy book of the heavens. What do other people people have? They run in a backyard looking for eggs from a rabbit when a rabbit doesn’t even lay eggs.

So means it is built on deception so the people will become angered. You know icons from Coca-Cola that they think they’re holy. So all of these things are pointing to people to wake up. That whatever you’ve been doing was a great deception. Come to Islam and to this way of purity in which every celebration is a celebration of the heavens. Everything is of a clean nature, of a blessed nature. No deception, no deceit, no lies, no falsehoods for the sake of entertaining children. They don’t care to entertain the children. We have to make sure that God is happy with us, inshaAllah.

**Question 7: From a previous talk Sayyidi we learned that sifat al-Basirah (attribute of spiritual vision) is in the ears. Why is it not in the eyes?**

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: I gave the whole talk the night before or weren’t you there? When was that? Saturday night. Sami al-Basir (The All Hearing and All-Seeing), right. How could you see if you don’t hear? So, it is not about seeing. The lataifs (subtle energy points) are not not about seeing so it means that you want to open up the quality of sight. Real sight has to do with the spiritual power of hearing. That’s why as–Sami (The All-Hearing) comes first. “Sam’ina wa ata’na.”

سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَاِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾

2:285 – “Sam’ina wa ata’na, ghufranaka Rabbana wa ilaykal masir.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“…We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys.” (The Cow, 2:285)

We’re a nation in which we hear and we obey. Saturday night I think we give very big detail on the Holy Face. Go back to these talks. Write down the notes from the talks. That’s why we said the details that are coming out now is not something somebody just listens to in the gym while they’re on a jogging machine. Say: ‘It was great talk Shaykh.’ You can go jog – that’s not the issue but that’s not when to take your realities. You have to be in wudu (ablution), you have to be sitting with a pen and paper. You turn on the suhbat (discourse) with wudu and asking for madad (call for support) and begin to document and take notes. As if you’re in the presence of Prophet ﷺ, presence of awliyaullah (saints). So that the faiz (downpouring emanation) and the dress can reach to the person.

So means to have a adab (manners) in how to receive these treasures from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. It is not like you’re picking up some change from somewhere and say, ‘Okay yeah, give me some change I’ll put in my pocket.’ You’re asking to receive the treasures from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. So with it comes an adab and a mannerism. So when they write and they go back to read the writing, they’ll understand. This whole way is based on opening the head but the head doesn’t open until the heart is in submission. So means everything is all interlocked.

So as soon as you come to the path, what’s the most important thing to open? Your ears, not your eyes. Just close your eyes. But you don’t ever listen to the shaykh, you don’t listen to the talks. He may ask you something and you do something completely different. It means there is a listening problem. Many times the shaykh will ask you do 1 2 3 4 5 6, they actually come back and put 7 8 9 10. They did completely their own way. Say, ‘But that’s not what I asked.’ But that just shows people have an inability to hear and truly do what they’ve heard. But they do what they want to do, they hear what they want to hear. So that means what? It is just not easy. That’s not something easy.

So after years of training of “Sam’ina wa ata’na, sam’ina wa ata’na” because you get crushed, you get crushed, you get crushed until your ears hear only your teacher. You knew that it was so sensitive that I could not hear anyone else; otherwise, it would throw off my connection. So I hear only my teacher, I hear only my teacher. That’s why they don’t go around hearing every talk and. ‘What did this one say what did that one say?’ Because then it would infiltrate my ear and contaminate my ears. So I found my teacher, found my Mawlana and that was it! Through that training and accompanying then continuous pounding in life in which to hear and obey, hear and obey, hear and obey. So that what? Allah (AJ) would open sincerity in the hearing. If Allah (AJ) open sincerity in the hearing, “Sam’ina wa ata’na.” That the servant their ears are clean, they don’t listen to outside. They try their best with sincerity to fulfill their understanding and the knowledges coming into their ears.

There are people whom hear the teachings and implement them. They hear the reality and implement it. Why? Then Allah (AJ) grants sincerity. Whom Allah (AJ) grants sincerity in hearing, what happens? They close their eyes, Allah (AJ) opens their vision, right. Because the lock on the ear, shaitan put a lock. Shaitan with sheen has three locks. So when shaitan locks you he has three.

One is going to be your ears. If he got your ears means he talks to you all day long. That’s why don’t let people complain to you because shaitan is seeing if he can get into your ears. Don’t listen to people’s complaints. Say, ‘Go, go talk to the wall, I don’t want to hear it. My ears are not for shaitan.’ Because that person’s shaitan is now coming to defecate within your ears. Your ear is supposed to be clean in which you hear your salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), you hear your guidance, you hear your shaykh. So that Allah (AJ) will open your higher level consciousness when the ears are clean.

So you keep them clean. As a result, they begin to tafakkur and contemplate and Allah (AJ) opens their spiritual vision. So Sami and Basir are linked. On the Throne it is like two side arms. Because the Face also represents the Throne of God and on a chair you have the tongue the chair – the seat which you sit. So they become an immense support. These are a very important reality to open up that reality of the Holy Face, 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.
