How Modern Sound System Attacks People’s Hearts? Q&A
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمْ
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, 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)
InshaAllah. What we got from online jama’ah (association)? InshaAllah, mashAllah somebody sent some pictures, our jama’ah was great, they were wearing the SMC and going to different majlises (associations), sitting in the front rows. Very nice, very beautiful. Get your SMC stuff and go out in other people’s associations, be proud of it, show it and be everywhere. Because you go places, say, ‘Oh you’re with Shaykh Nurjan,’ because they watch the videos. You know it’s like the people have like a closet love; they’re hiding it. Why are you hiding it for? Get out there and show it. That becomes your struggle, inshaAllah.
Question 1: Sayyidi if a person is subjected to constant humiliation, is it because we are still a strong 1, and does the humiliation start diminishing as we move towards being zero?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: InshaAllah. Yeah, the tougher the steak, the more the grinding. Right? Everyone’s got to be hamburger but some people come, ‘Oh I’m T-bone, I’m prime rib, I’m very special person. Do you know my dream Shaykh? You want to tell me my dreams, you want me to tell you my dreams?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t want to hear your dreams. Already you’re big enough. You want to tell me now you see the whole universe at your feet, I’m not interested.’
It means yes, everybody comes to the way thinking themselves to be great. So we find in our lives the grinder’s rolling. So depending upon how much we have of arrogance, how much we have of pride, how many edges on our stone needs to be polished then the polishing begins. So in our life again because we have a lot of Eastern emails coming for people whom are oppressed. So we clarified oppression versus humiliation and humility.
-
- Oppression – you don’t have the means to defend yourself or protect yourself. So Eastern cultures may be aggressive against certain people; women and children. They’re going to start emailing and keep saying, ‘This is my test of humility.’ No, this is oppression. You make du’a (supplication), Allah (AJ) answers the du’a of oppressed people.
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنّهُ ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ ﷺ ”اتَّقِ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ، فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ اللَّهِ (عَزَّ وَجَلَّ) حِجَابٌ ”.
[صَحِيحُ الْبُخَارِي ٢٤٤٨، كِتَابٌ ٤٦، حَدِيثٌ ٩]
‘An ibni ‘Abbasin (ra) anan Nabiya ﷺ ba’asa Mu’azab na Jabalin ilal Yamani, faqala ﷺ: “Ittaqi da’watal mazhlumi, fa’innaha laysa baynaha wa baynal Allahi (AJ) ḥijabon.”
[Sahih Al Bukhari 2448, Kitab 46, Hadith 9]
Ibn Abbas (ra) narrated the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) sent Mu’adh bin Jabal to Yemen, and said (pbuh): “Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no veil between it and Allah (AJ).”
[Authentic according to Bukhari 2448, Book 46, Hadith 9]
- Oppression – you don’t have the means to defend yourself or protect yourself. So Eastern cultures may be aggressive against certain people; women and children. They’re going to start emailing and keep saying, ‘This is my test of humility.’ No, this is oppression. You make du’a (supplication), Allah (AJ) answers the du’a of oppressed people.
-
- Humiliation is you got resources, you have strength, you have ability to speak, nobody’s going to harm you, they’re just going to agitate you and you choose for Allah’s (AJ) sake, ‘I’m going to stay quiet or I’m not going to be combative and I’m not going to be aggressive.’ So means Allah (AJ) says, ‘You had a choice and as a result of your choice, you submitted and you turned your affair over to Allah (AJ),’ and you keep trying to keep the peace, keep trying to keep and make peace. Because if you open your mouth, it will go out of control everywhere. So you try to keep muslihoon where Allah (AJ) loves the one who makes peace.
So that becomes very clear. If we’re coming new to tariqah (spiritual path), well, ‘We’re coming like you know very big steaks; we’re this! You know I’m a big fish in my small pond.’ But now when you’re coming to Allah’s (AJ) ocean that has infinite capacity, it’s very difficult for people to feel that ocean of nothingness. You know they had all these plans, all these aspirations, all these hopes, all these titles for themselves and to be put into Allah’s (AJ) oceans of infinite grace and infinite size, you become infinitely small in that ocean.
So the state of annihilation is not easy for people. So continuous humiliation. They feel, ‘Oh this is embarrassing, oh this is embarrassing.’ We said before in our path we came you know with the best of clothes, the best of lifestyles, the best of everything and we went to a zikr (Divine remembrance) and they convinced me to dress a different way. They took me to go buy slippers that you would wear for the toilet, the wash area. Yeah it’s very funny plastic ones. Say, ‘You have to wear that everywhere.’ Say, ‘Really? I got to wear these things everywhere?’ Say, ‘Yeah.’ So I put that on. Then went and got me shalwar kameez (traditional Pakistani dress) but I guess it was like a almost see-through shalwar kameez, very cheap one. I put this shalwar kameez and I went home and my mom almost killed me. [Mom] ‘The heck is this? What’s this look you…?’ Said, ‘This is it! I’ve denounced the world’ [everyone laughs]. So that was very humiliating and so I started to walk all over the West LA like that.
So you know, there’s going to be a big change in people’s lives and they can deem that to be humility. Then alhamdulillah when I met Mawlana (Q) he’s like, ‘You don’t have to do that. You can dress like this, you can wear the sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) Turkish style, nice suits, nice this.’ So it means that there’s always going to be a change from our background and into something new and we deem that to be humiliating or humbling and whatever it is – you go through that process. But the arrogance and pride that people may have and never knew that it existed then those have to be brought down and they may think that this is a continuous humiliation.
But that’s you know unique to each person’s case in life; what they think and what they deem is humiliation and how much they’re willing to sort of be patient and humble themselves and all the different characteristics. To sit amongst people, to not show your title to people and everybody assuming that, ‘Oh this, these people that sit with the shaykh they’re nobodies.’ No, they come from various backgrounds and various educations and it’s not that. They took a path in which to efface themselves and humble themselves. So this is a lifelong process. Once we learn that and then we carry that forward in everything that we do in our lives. That we’re humble at work, we’re humble with community members and people. Allah (AJ) loves the humble character, inshaAllah.
Question 2: Sayyidi if we have a dream about someone else that is beautiful, should we tell them or not?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: No, no we just started with that. Yeah, because that can make a sickness for the ego, that the ego wants us to be recognized.
So remember the ego is trying to sit on the chair and if it’s battling with three, it comes to you and says that, ‘Look your soul is sitting on the chair and making everything very bad for us. Let me sit on the chair and handle you for a little bit.’ As soon as the ego sits on the chair, it wants to do something to get you recognized. Because you all of a sudden sit in a group and start saying, ‘You know I had a dream about you doing like this and this,’ that no longer is the soul sitting on the chair. Because the soul says, ‘I got private information from Allah (AJ) just for the sake of my inspiration.’
But the ego when he took the chair, he now got identified and now everybody start coming in the room say, ‘Oh did you dream about me?’ Oh now you may have a special status. ‘Do you do this all the time? You dream all the time?’ Now you can see now the ego took the chair and loves it, ‘This is great!’ Then I’ll start making up some dreams and people will come even more and sit around and try to get an inspiration from me. So anything that we think would potentially identify us is to restrain from it. The exception is, the shaykh has to use the tools that was given to him for guidance and it’s not for bragging, it’s not for anything other than people to come for guidance. But when others do it and they’re not the shaykh, you’re drawing attention to your chair. Right?
So out of the understanding of the chair, anytime the soul sits on the chair, it doesn’t want any attention. So something that should have got a lot of attention, if the soul can get onto the chair, actually will go completely unnoticed. Because the soul will make the chair to be not recognized at all. So they can have immense spiritual experience, if the soul is sitting on the chair, nobody left and right would know what happened. So those are the characteristics of the soul sitting on the chair that it extremely humbled, extremely sort of effacing of itself and puts itself within difficulties amongst people.
Then you know the soul is on that person, that goes into situations. You see many stories of awliya (saints) that people would come and curse at them, yell at them, throw things at them and they would stay quiet and stay quiet and say nothing. Then when they were sick, that person would go to visit them. Say, ‘What are you coming here for? Oh every year, every day I was coming and bothering you for where you were working and throwing things at you.’ That soul comes and says, ‘Well today I heard you’re sick, I’m coming to see how you’re doing.’ The person starts to cry.
This is the Shaykh, Imam (religious leader) of the Budala they wrote one of his stories and qissahs. That he was bothered by a lot of people but always remained very humble. When somebody who bothered all the time got sick, he heard he got sick he went there to see him and visit him. He was so ashamed that, ‘You’re coming to see me and all I did was to bother you’ and he’s crying and crying and crying and asked for repentance and accepted him as his Shaykh.
So it means that these are the incredible examples of when the soul sits on the chair, it’s something completely different. That’s when is most important is to get the soul to sit on the chair and make sure that the ego is not sitting on the chair. So any life event we have, just ask yourself, ‘Who would benefit on this chair if I was to do that?’ The soul? No. Will the ego benefit? Definitely. Shaitan (satan)? Definitely, because shaitan will now start to use that and start to propagate to people, inshaAllah.
Question 3: As you had just mentioned we want to fight for this way and for our Shaykh so can we defend this way or better to keep silent?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Defend this way? No, you have to fight for yourself. I gave the example as the Shaykh – is that I have 25 years of fighting. That each step of the way there was somebody, there’s videos of it was so intense in the tariqah that Shaykh Nazim (Q) had to release a video that, ‘This Nurmuhammad website [Nurmuhammad.com] is authorized, his books are authorized, that he has a ijazah and poop on their heads if they talk.’ They had to release a video because so much attacks. So this was our struggle, this is our struggle.
The student has to uphold the understanding that, ‘Hey I want to be like my Shaykh and I want to struggle. So I want to wear my identifying image because I identify with my Shaykh and I want to carry that with me, I want to send out his videos.’ They’re about love we’re not talking any aggression. These people don’t like videos of love. Well, something is sick in them. It doesn’t hurt anyone.
You don’t be belligerent, you don’t lose your character, you don’t start yelling and screaming. You merely shared a video. When they talk, you share Qur’an. Don’t open your mouth and start typing bad things. Right? When they start making bad comments, take ayatul kareem (the generous verse of Holy Qur’an) from ChatGPT. Ask ChatGPT, ‘Which ayahs (verses) of Qur’an address bad character?’ It [searching noise], and then post those to the group and let the Qur’an speak to them.
That way you save yourself from typing bad things and saying bad. Then you entered in now into shaitan’s abode. You know, you let the videos talk for themself, that the Qur’an will talk to them, Hadith will talk to them. Some of our guys post Hadith back and say, ‘What do you mean? The seeking of knowledge was mandatory in the Hadith. It was the highest abode and that the angels all the way to the fish in the ocean praised the one whom seeks Divinely knowledges.’
عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْه فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَجَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: “يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنِّي جِئْتُكَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ لِحَدِيثٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا جِئْتُ لِحَاجَةٍ”. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: “ مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا مِنْ طُرُقِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ، وَإِنَّ الْعَالِمَ لَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالْحِيتَانُ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَاءِ…”
[سُنَنُ أَبي دَاوُد ٣٦٤١، كِتَابْ ٢٦، حَدِيثْ ١]
‘An Kasiri bin Qaysin, qala: “Kuntu jalisan ma’a Abid Dardaa’i (ra) fi masjidi Dimashqa, Faja’ahu rajulun faqala: ‘Ya Abad Dardaa’i inni ji’tuka min Madinatir Rasuli ﷺ lihadisin balaghani annaka tuhaddisuhu ‘an Rasulullah ﷺ ma ji’tu lihajatin. Qala: “Fa’inni sami’tu RasulAllah ﷺ yaqulu: “Man salaka tariqan yatlubu fihi ‘ilman salaka Allahu bihi tariqan min turuqil Jannati, wa’innal mala’ikata latada’u ajnihataha ridan litalibil ‘ilmi, wa’innal ‘alima layastaghfiru lahu man fis samawati waman fi al ardi walhitanu fi jawfil ma’i…’
[Sunanu Abi Dawud 3641, Kitab 26, Hadith 1]
Narrated Kathir ibn Qays: I was sitting with Abu Darda’ (ra) in the mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: “Abu Darda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) for a tradition (hadith) that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). I have come for no other purpose.” He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say: “If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man…”
[Sunan Abi Dawud, 3641 Kitab 26, Hadith 1]
So yeah, it’s a part of education because when we were doing it for our Shaykh, we had to educate ourselves because our fights were against the Wahabis. So our life was continuous that. The Shaykh would send me to conferences for Wahabis and say, ‘Go make a booth for salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)’. Well Wahabis they completely don’t allow and don’t agree with the salawat and nasheeds (songs of praise) and this was 30 years ago, 25 years ago. As soon as we put on the booth, we put the salawats, they would come to attack and try to be physical. We say, ‘Oh oh oh, you can’t touch here. This is America, you can’t do these things.’ They would call security, they would call all sorts of things just to stop it. So life was a continuous struggle.
Then publish all his anti-Wahabi books; we would take them to conferences in tens of thousands and distribute them against the Wahabi movement. It was a great struggle because the surface of Islam changed in America as a result of those books and those teachings and the ability not to stay quiet. Because the mass majority of Muslims said, ‘Oh just let him stay quiet. Who cares what these Wahabis say?’ They basically destroyed the deen (religion). They made everything to be haram everything to be forbidden. So we took the books, we would put them out. We take flyers, put them out. He would put the magazines, we all would distribute the magazines around the country, they were sending them to the people in Vancouver, they were sending them to everywhere. So this was the system. It is, you had something to believe in and something you had to struggle for.
But now people are bizarre that, ‘Why we have to struggle? Why, why, why is like this Shaykh? What was… it’s no, no peace? That something must be wrong?’ I said, ‘No, your understanding got lazy.’ You made it like it’s McDonald drive-thru. You have to struggle for something in life to get a reward from Allah (AJ) otherwise why Allah (AJ) is going to reward you for that day? ‘I tried to keep my faith, I tried to keep the practices and the belief that I had and I have and the overwhelming tide of negativity and tried to bring people towards the light,’ inshaAllah.
Otherwise you stay quiet then the darkness just overtakes everything. Until the people of light they’re all quiet and the darkness is everywhere. Our life is about lighting a match in every room. As soon as there’s a darkness somewhere, just put a match and a light. What is the power of light? No matter how dark it is, all it needs is one piece of light. The miracle of light is that it moves and dissipates in its space. Right? The black and the darkness can’t overtake it, can’t shut the light out. That’s why shaitan then encourages you, ‘Stop it, stop it, go away.’ Say, ‘No, I’m here to put the light,’ inshaAllah.
Question 4: Sayyidi we see those who mentally torture others, why are they so happy in their lives?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Mentally tortured others? Yeah, give it time. That Allah (AJ) is the best of those who keep a hisaab (account).
(٤٧) وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئًا ۖ وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ
21:47 – “Wa nada’ul mawazeenal qista li Yawmil Qiyaamati, falaa tuzlamu nafsun shai’aa; wa in kaana misqaala habbatim min khardalin atainaa bihaa; wa kafaa binaa haasibeen.” (Surat Al-Anbiya)
“And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so that no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth (to account). And sufficient are We as accountant.” (The Prophets, 21:47)
What you understand of people being happy and what the reality is, completely different. So only now through social media they’ll talk about all these people, ‘This was an influencer, this was like this, this was like this’ and they later revealed, ‘No, this person actually was very sick, mentally tormented, had social problems, family problems, suicidal problems throughout their family.’
So we don’t know what Allah (AJ) is doing on the side, what’s happening to people’s lives and the sense that they have no peace at night to sleep. Don’t look at what somebody is posting and think, ‘Oh, they got everything’ but their nights are filled with torment. Many can’t sleep at night and they take medicines and drugs to stay up all night long and they can’t sleep, they can’t find peace, they’re tormented in their mind.
So there is no peace other than what Allah (AJ) sends to people. So they had pop stars who were super famous pop stars. He had to take medicine that would have put him into a coma so he could sleep at night. So what happiness is that with all the wealth on Earth that they amassed? So peace and true tranquillity only comes from Allah (AJ). Everything else may have the illusion of success and tranquillity but we don’t know what type of torment is taking place in their homes.
So they posted something on this Rockefeller and say, ‘Oh look at the amassing of Rockefeller,’ he was so tormented that Allah (AJ) put into his heart, he was tormented on a daily basis thinking he wouldn’t have money the next day. He was so tormented by it that he couldn’t eat, he had suicidal tendencies and all his families inherited that shaitan. So they never could enjoy the wealth. They were tormented under the thought that tomorrow would end and they would go around pick up the crumbs out of the fear.
How you could have fear that your money is going to finish tomorrow unless it’s coming from Allah (AJ)? Allah (AJ) releases, the shaitans attack the person and billion in the bank and he thinks tomorrow he’s not going to have his food. As a result, he can’t eat, he couldn’t sleep and all his family had suicides and all sicknesses of the same sickness, the same shaitan. So there’s no peace for people. It’s all an illusion, the sense of peace. What Allah (AJ) inflicts upon the mind and the body and the spirit of people if they come against the heavens.
So true tranquillity is the one whom struggles in Allah’s (AJ) way and Allah (AJ) grants them a sakinah (tranquillity) because Allah (AJ) is happy with them. Because where does your soul go at night? When you wash, it goes back to the throne of Allah (AJ). When Allah (AJ) is happy with that servant, He grants them a sakinah – a tranquillity that, ‘Come. Oh My, the nafs that is pleased with Me and I’m pleased with you, come to My Presence,’ and that grants them an immense tranquillity and beatific tajallis (manifestations) upon their souls, inshaAllah.
﴾ارْجِعِي إِلَىٰ رَبِّكِ رَاضِيَةً مَّرْضِيَّةً ﴿٢٨
89:28 – “Irji’yee ilaa Rabbiki raadiyatam mardiyah”. (Surat Al-Fajr)
” Return to your Lord, well-pleased/content, and pleasing [to Him!]” (The Dawn, 89:28)
Question 5: Is going to sleep similar to a portal? And when demonic portals open on dunya (material world), what will be seen? We love you Sayyidi.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Thank you [Shaykh laughs]. That was quick, huh? ‘Sleep like a portal and what are demonic portals?’ InshaAllah. Sleep is a phase of death so definitely is a portal.
اللَّـهُ يَتَوَفَّى الْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَالَّتِي لَمْ تَمُتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ الَّتِي قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا الْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ الْأُخْرَىٰ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ (٤٢) مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
39:42 – “Allaahu yatawaffal anfusa heena mawtihaa wallatee lam tamut fee manaamihaa fa yumsikul latee qadaa ‘alaihal mawta wa yursilul ukhraaa ilaaa ajalim musammaa; inna fee zaalika la Aayaatil liqawmai yatafakkarroon” (Surat Az-Zumar)
“Allah takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.” (The Troops, 39:42)
It means for the people who want to understand portals means these are like dimensions and openings. So sleep is a great opening and is the worshipness and a state of worshipness. The sleep of an oppressor is ‘ibadah – is worship because he bothers people when he’s awake so better when he sleeps then it becomes a mercy upon creation. So means that sleep has a tremendous blessing and is an immense opening.
So the one whom washes and does all their worshipness and everything, their sleep can be a very beatific state and many things will be dressed upon the soul of that servant. In tariqah there’s not too much permission to see it because of the lofty abode. The ability to comprehend what’s been seen and not to discuss it back onto the Earth. So these souls from the tariqah then they’re veiled as they go up. So like ‘Men in Black’ [movie], they sleep, their memory will be washed before they come back down so that not to discuss what was revealed of realities at that abode. So that’s something different, so it has an immense power.
Then the portals of shaitan are everything; you go to a concert, that’s a portal for shaitan, television is a portal for shaitan, the radio is a portal for shaitan. So there’s energies coming through. Their vibrations, it comes through music, comes through television, comes through everything. Now can you avoid those portals? No, because this is modern world. We can’t go live into the woods in the mountains. Then how do you counter it? It is by opening the heavenly portals.
So you put on once, twice, three times a week the zikr in the room, in the living room. The same living room you’re watching TV’s on, put the YouTube on so that the energy of the zikr is coming into the home, the portals from paradise come into the home. The beings that are coming from these zikrs, they’re coming into the home and begin to wash the atmosphere, the energy of the room.
Same with the nasheeds and salawat and Holy Qur’an. That when you play them into the home, they cleanse the energy that was brought by all the sounds and music that the children are listening to or people are listening to. So we can cleanse the environment and then you can begin to clean it. Like say, ‘Okay those things I don’t want play in the house because it’s all cursing so that’s going to bring horrific energies into the house.’ So then you know everything you start to wash and clean and sort of clarify what type of energies you want.
So definitely, everything is a portal and an energy and Prophet ﷺ described the zikrs they are the portals of paradise, circles of paradise.
حَديثُ اِبْنِ عُمَرِرَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: “إِذَا مَرَّرَتْهُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَاِرْتَعُوْا. ” قَالُوا: وَمَارِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ يَارَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟
قَالَ ﷺ: “حَلَقَ الذِّكْرِ. فَإِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى سَيَّارَاتٌ مِنَ الْمَلَاَئِكَةِ يُطَلِّبُوْنَ حَلَقَ الذِّكْرِ، فَإِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَيْهُمْ حَفُّوْابِهُمْ.” [جَامِعْ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ – جُزْء٦، كتاب ٤٨، حديث٣٥١٠]
Ibn ‘Umar (ra) qala, qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: “Izaa marra rathum beriyadil jannati, fa irta’o. Qalu: wa ma riyadil jannati ya Rasulillah ﷺ?
Qala ﷺ: Halaquz Zikri, fa inna Lillahi ta’ala sayyaratun minal Malayikati yutallibona halqaz zikri, fa iza ataw ‘alayhum haffu bihim.” [Jami’ at Tirmidhi, Juz’ 6, Kitab 48, Hadith 3510]
The son of `Umar (ra) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, indulge in/enjoy (their blessings).” The holy Companions asked: “What are the gardens of Paradise, O Messenger of Allah (pbuh)?” He (pbuh) replied: “The circles of zikr (Divine Remembrance). There are roaming angels of Allah who go about looking for the circles of zikr, and when they find them, they surround them closely.” [Narrated by Imam Tirmidhi, Volume 6, Book 45, Hadith 3510]
So immense, immense realities. If we could see just see what types of lights and what type of spiritual beings come from these associations. What type of barakah (blessing) and benefit they bring within our homes, within our food, within our souls, within every type of environment. How they’re blessed and how that environment completely changes by the tajallis of zikr and the tajalli of paradise, inshaAllah.
Question 6: Can you please explain the importance of reciting “Allahu, Allah Hay, Allah Hayyu ya Qayyum” seven times?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Oh where’d you hear that one? That come from Zeeshan? [Shaykh laughs] Yeah.
No, it’s just you should recite it. ‘Allahu, Allah Hay, Allah Hayyu ya Qayyum’, it’s seven times onto your heart. “Allahu, Allah Hay, Allah Hayyu ya Qayyum” and that’s to open the heart. So when you want to sit and meditate and contemplate “Allahu, Allah Hay, Allah Hayyu ya Qayyum.” That asking Allah (AJ) to open the heart and the lataifs (subtle energy points) of the heart, inshaAllah.
Question 7: Sayyidi since instruments produce frequencies, are these tools we can use to elevate our floor to go up?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Instruments? Like what instruments? Because the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ is that instruments are forbidden. Right?
Because again for the same logic, that Prophet ﷺ is the master of all realities and he knows that these instruments the vibration that they’re going to cause most likely is not going to be heavenly vibrations. Because the overwhelming tide of music and music that’s you’re going to be playing is not going to be salawats. So you’re going to play dunya music that through your power of manifestation [Sayyidi hums a tune] you’re now bringing that energy from your power of manifestation into your presence.
So unless you’re going to be playing salawat and you have somebody wrote that for you with that instrument then it can be difficult. So that you have to be careful of because Prophet ﷺ warned us. Why? You see the hikmah (wisdom) of it because the overwhelming musical scoreboard is going to be very negative songs. So you’re starting to play these frequencies and all these negative and maybe one or two salawat and then again all these negative then these energies are going to affect. Until you know people get too caught up in it and they’re so attracted by the sounds and they play more harder vibrations and lower tones and before you know that energy is affecting them.
So I think the videos on understanding that so that you can answer that for yourself is what do they call the videos? Crymatic? Is it crymatic or cymatic? The science of sound and vibration. Crymatic, Cymatics? It’s something with a ‘S,’ ‘C,’ ‘Y.’ Cymatic, crymatic, something like that, Google it. They take sound and they put it against materials. So they have these little foam balls, they put the sound on and it ‘zzzz’ [vibrating noise] and all of a sudden it turns into a star, turns into different shapes and forms. Now they have videos where they’re doing that on water and the water is changing forms based on the vibration. So just the understanding of that now their science is coming out and showing the direct relationship between vibration and the effect on form.
So then these vibrations they affect the blood because what’s the water in humans – is their blood, their cells, everything. One, 90 percent towards the negative because the most vibrations on the lowest frequencies are designed to cause a difficulty to the heart. So I think they mandated, Rockefellers, that music be played on certain notes and those notes were low and harm the heart.
Those same teachings will come out that certain vibrations can heal. So they’ll play those vibrations to again heal the cells and the body, the blood which is all the water of the body. So those knowledges will come out and until those come out then the zikr, the salawats, the nasheed have tremendous healing. Just the sound and the vibration of the nasheeds, it resets the cells and the blood and the body of insan (mankind) and recalibrates the heart and all of the essential organs.
Because once you’re cleaning the blood through the chanting and through the zikr and through the energies and vibrations of the shaykhs that are coming out, that blood is going into the heart, recalibrating, cleansing the heart, cleaning the dirtiness on the blood. From the heart it’ll push out clean blood to all 11 organs. So their breath, their energy, everything being cleansed. That’s why we do the zikr. So when you watch those sciences now you understand why Prophet ﷺ described these are circles of paradise, they’re healing. So they turn these things on and things move. So then imagine when you’re saying ‘Allah Huuu’, what’s happening with the body? What’s happening with the energy of the body and the soul of the body? So very powerful, very powerful realities, inshaAllah.
Question 8: Sayyidi what can we do when we try to lead by example by pressing the elevator up but a large part of the family is always pressing the elevator down? The children seem to be so affected by the surrounding. How do we shield the children from family pressing the elevator down that you cannot avoid such as anger, violence, bad words?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, that becomes the great struggle. So then we see now that we have this understanding of the elevator so these complex Islamic shari’ah (Divine law) understanding is very simple – it’s elevator.
So what do you do in your life to counter the elevator to go up? If you know, what we call ‘Muhasabah’ (accounting); on a daily basis you take an accounting. Right? So they would teach you, ‘Make an accounting every day – how many good you did, how many bad you did.’ So then you kind of figure on general basis for example that this family is going to push the button five times down today.
So you want to counter them, you want to have the family doing at least 10 floors up. So it means that you try to get them to pray together, ‘Sit down do an awrad (daily practice) with us, let’s do hundred salawats today, let’s do the ten “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem” today, let’s do anything we can do to get this button to go up, let’s go on the weekend we’re going to go out and give food with the kids.’ All of what we’re doing, try to get the children to do it so that those hasanats and goodness means they went up 20 floors. So okay they’re going to go down five or six floors throughout the week, it’s going to be a given. Nobody is going to continuously go up.
So now they’re doing drumming. Get them to participate. As soon as they do the drumming then oh naturally they start to recite because they have to keep the rhythm of what they’re drumming so inevitably they’re going to start to recite as they drum. Well now this is a huge hasanat (goodness)for them. Maybe before they were just kind of like sitting there and saying, ‘What are we supposed to do there tonight for three hours?’ So then it picks up a tremendous blessing. Do that at home.
So everything that’s being taught and how we’re trying to motivate the adults is the same way the Shaykh is doing. Go out and get food so that you can get these barakahs and these blessings. Go and click and put out some of the articles so you can get these blessings. Same way you turn around to your children and say, ‘Okay why can’t you do some of these salawats? Why can’t we sit down and do like a awrad? Let’s go and sit down it’s zikr night tonight, everybody come and sit and we’ll go get like ice cream, I’ll give you an ice cream treat after.’ So you have to make something of it. So like with the men, you have to imitate the Shaykh. So with the men, we give them ice cream cake. They get excited, ‘Shaykh’s in town, we’re going to get ice cream cake’ [everyone laughs]. Right? Exact same system.
So same, same logic. Allah (AJ) promising you paradise. So you came into Islam thinking, ‘Oh we’re going to do these things and get paradise.’ So we said the same thing. Then give your children a paradise in Ramadan. They want cash. Say, ‘I’m going to give you cash for every prayer you did.’ At home, teach your children to pray. Give them cash. Allah (AJ) promising you paradise, what’s the difference? Some people say, ‘Shaykh we can’t pay the children to pray.’ Say, ‘Why? Allah (AJ) paying you to pray by giving you paradise.’ So make a system that, ‘You’re going to get this cash but you don’t get the cash, you get a credit for your allowance so that I can control what are you spending this on. Go buy at the SMC store [smcmerch.com]. You can buy an ‘asaa (cane). This month you saved enough, you can get a ring.’
But you know you teach the children as Allah’s (AJ) teaching us and you motivate. If you see how the shaykh operates he’s trying to motivate people so that the religion is very fresh for them, very exciting for them, it becomes something beatific for them. The same system inshaAllah that everybody should learn from that and make their children to be motivated. Again you do the best you can till they’re 15, 16, 17 and the rest is in Allah’s (AJ) hands.
That at 17, they’re going to come up with their own ideas and their understandings. You did the best you can with Allah (AJ) and that’s all that is possible. If at that point they decide they’re going in different directions and they want to do this or that, at least we gave the foundation in life the best possible example. So with love, with good character and the establishment of that love is an immense anchor to always pull people back. Because if the relationship is hard and we know by 17 those devils become strong that try to pull the children away. If the anchor of love is not there, it’s like a ship that’s just waiting to escape, it’s just waiting to go and never look back.
But when the anchor is so strong with love then always that love will call them back. ‘Oh this was you know my dad’s way. I got to go back to it. I got to struggle to get back to that.’ So inshaAllah that we’re always inspired to teach through love and build a very strong relationship based on love. Now they may not adhere but at least the love locked them in. InshaAllah with our good deeds and efforts and continuously always trying, the love pulls them back, 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.
