Invite the Divine Light into Your Heart Through Muraqabah Q&A
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.
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, as 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.
Email us at [email protected] so that we can give you the introductory email, ‘Here’s all the links to all the sites,’ Then an introduction to the meditation on how to do the breathing and how to put your position. To focus on the ka’bah and see yourself in the presence of the ka’bah, breathing the light and energy. Then I think we have to eventually make an exact how-to meditation, so people can understand from what we have on the website to the actual steps of that, inshaAllah.
Question #1: Sayyidi, I’m missing the daily awrad (daily practices) due to severe tiredness after one year, is it a serious dangerous thing?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Walaykum as salaam, I think we talked many times on that. You’re not connected to that wi-fi and it causes difficulty. You’re not going to do the awrad – you’re not connecting to a wi-fi that has a tremendous amount of protection and benefits. So imagine now your all your life is on your phone. Your bank accounts, your passcodes, your mortgage payment, car payment – everything you have now on that phone. Think a day if the phone was stolen, ‘Oh my God what am I gonna do how am I gonna back it up.’ They have off-site backup, all of that. Now imagine a day in which you have no phone connection, no cellular, no wi-fi, nothing. Say, ‘I couldn’t live without that phone.’ Oh because that’s something tangible in your hand and you understand.
But the people of faith for them is much more important their connection because they’re feeling it, they’re living by it. They’re receiving these faiz (downpouring emanation) by it, they have a protection by it. So because you haven’t reached to a level of faith to understand it, that’s why they stress – it is more important than your physical. If you can live without your phone, your connection, any access to any information and that’s okay with you, then you know that’s something different. But if you’re relying on that connection for everything in your life in the physical world, imagine and what you’re relying upon from the spiritual world for the faiz and the emanations to reach to the servant. The blessings and the du’as (supplication) to reach to the servant. The good character to change upon the servant. [Pic 1]
Without that emanation coming, without those lights coming the change, the servant’s character doesn’t change. The knowledges don’t come to the servant. Before you know the servant says oh, ‘I’m not feeling anything from this path, I might as well be leaving it,’ And they begin to drift away from everything. Because they’re just you know use it as an entertainment at first but it is more of a lifeline than an entertainment. InshaAllah.
Question #2: As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi, and all others bless you for your services and providing live streams. Can I print a ta’weez (prayer for protection) until I can afford to buy them? Is it effective?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Sure why not. They print the ta’weez, no problem on buying it, just ask us to make a du’a (supplication) upon it inshaAllah. That make the ta’weez that you have, send it as an email inshaAllah. So that we make du’a for you as a process, it shows an ihtiram and a respect.
Question #3: Sayyidi are there certain situations where it is better to be stern than soft or should we always be soft ya Sayyidi?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Wa alaykum as salaam. That’s a vague question. There are times to be stern with what Allah (AJ) wants and upholding what Allah (AJ) wants. And to be soft when it’s involving what you want. When your character and your ego is involved, then it’s better to be soft so that other people are hard against you.
When it is what Allah (AJ) wants, it’s better to be toug. So that Allah’s (AJ) limit is upheld and Allah’s (AJ) way is upheld. You can’t be soft with that where you let everyone do what they want and destroy everything of their souls reality. So it’s based on you know every condition. Is this an argument with someone that’s based on my ego? Then it’s okay I have to be soft and let myself to be crushed a bit. But if this is upholding Allah’s (AJ) way and I let people to be soft and insult everything that I believe in, no. So there is a limit for everything and specific instance for everything, inshaAllah.
Question #4: Sayyidi, how do we imagine ourselves at the Rauza e Sharif (holy burial chamber) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and give our haziri (attendance)? And how do we imagine ourselves there as nothing?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi : How? Look at the picture of the Rauza e Sharif and you close your eyes and see that I’m there just at the gate holding the gate. That listen to salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) while you’re looking at that Rauza e Sharif at the gate of Prophet .ﷺ Don’t ask to see Prophet ﷺ but just talk to Prophet ﷺ.That, ‘I’m here at your Rauza. I’m nothing, I have a lot of sins, I’m not worthy of seeing you and your nazar (gaze) upon me Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Prophet).’ You’re listening to salawats and the beauty of the salawats opens from that faiz and that light and that feeling of nearness to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Efface and bring yourself down. Don’t ask to see. Don’t ask to see. Always talk in a way that, ‘I’m not worthy of my eyes to see your beatific face. My sins are too many, I don’t want them to be upon you, and that bad character to be put upon you. I’m nothing. Just let me to be at your feet. Let me to be at this blessed Rauza and that your tajallis (manifestations) and light and love to be dressing upon me.’
So we always approach that reality with the immense humility. ‘I’m nothing, I’m nothing, I’m nothing, let me just to sit.’ Then I begin to either breathe if I’m meditating, I listen to salawats and breathe. If I’m doing my awrad and zikr (Divine remembrance), then I see myself at Rauza e Sharif and I’m making salawats on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Build a relationship in which you’re talking with Prophet ﷺ.
Question #5: Ya Sayyidi forgive my ignorance. My question is what is the difference between shaitan (satan) and dajjal (man of deceit)?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Shaitan is their race and dajjal is the one – he’s a character. He’s a specific personality that is coming and he’s the leader of all the shayateen (devils) and he’s from the shaitan race. That his minions are shayateen and of the jinn (unseen beings). There are shaitans who are straight out shaitans and then there’s the jinn whom give themself to the bad. There are different categories. Shaitans are shaitans, they don’t die and they have a different existence. And they don’t participate with anyone, they out for full destruction. But the jinn are different and the bad ones that give themself towards that and then the ens – the humans that give themself to that bad.
All those categories they give themself to that bad. Their amir (leader) will be that dajjal – the Antichrist. The one who’s been written about that will walk the earth and that his eye will be bulging.
عَنْ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ أَللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: “ مَا بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا أَنْذَرَ قَوْمَهُ اَلأَعْوَرَ الْكَذَّابَ. إِنَّهُ أَعْوَرُ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ. مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَافِرٌ.” ] صَحِيحِ الْبُخَارِي ٧٤٠٨[
‘An Anasan (ra), ‘Anin Nabiyi ﷺ qala: “Ma ba’asa Allahu min nabiyin illa anzara qawmahu al a’waral kazaba. Innahu a’waro wa inna rabbakum laysa bi a’wara. Maktubon bayna ‘aynayhi kafiron.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 7408]
Anas (ra) narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “Allah (AJ) did not send any prophet except that he warned his nation of the one-eyed liar/man of deception (adDajjal). He is one-eyed while your Lord is not one-eyed. The word ‘Kafir’ (unbeliever) is written between his two eyes/on his forehead.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 7408]
That we have talks and lessons on that. That when people compare it to other people that they (say), ‘You’re talking and he’s also talking about dajjal.’ No, these are the haqqaiqs (realities) of dajjal on these websites [Nurmuhammad.com]. i It’s not just talking about it and giving you interpretation of the hadith. These are the understanding and realities of the holy Hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Because these are from the knowledges of shaykhs who understand the three points up and three points down of the star. And they understand that the lights that emanate from the heart from Insan al kamil (The Universal Perfect Being). That the nur (light) that comes out of the right eye and the ocean of Hayat (ever-living) that comes out of the left eye in the perfected insan (human being).
The reason that dajjal has a bulging eye is because he’s blocked from the heavenly Hayat. He has absolutely no power from heavenly oceans of al-Hayat. He actually teaches everybody just to have Hayat ad-Dunya (Life of the material world) and not to believe in the Hayat al-Akhirah (Life of the hereafter). That’s why his triangle is only of a six, six, six down – these are 60 degree angles of a downward triangle.
It’s not the same as comparing to other shaykh, ‘Oh this shaykh is also talking about last days and eschatology.’ No, these awliyaullah (saints) are teaching about the haqqaiq and the realities and the intricate reality of what that being represents and what that shaitan’s characteristics and what his dress is. It’s very different. They understand the energy he’s using, they understand the Hayat that he’s using. That’s why all his representatives show that eye because their eye is just the life of dunya (material world). ‘Come with us for the life of dunya and walk away from the life of akhirah (hereafter).’ They have no nur to deposit into anyone.
The kamil (perfected) are sending a light and a nur from Rahman (The Most Compassionate) [right eye] and sending oceans of Hayat from Al-Raheem (The Most Merciful) [left eye]. Allah (AJ) dress them from sifat ar Rahman (attribute of the Most Compassionate) and sifat ar Raheem (attribute of The Most Merciful). They’ve been dressed with, “Salamun qawlam mir Rabbir Raheem.” That their eyes have been activated with these realities.
سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِّن رَّبٍّ رَّحِيمٍ ﴿٥٨﴾
36:58 – “Salamun qawlam mir Rabbir Raheem.” (Surat YaSeen)
“Peace,” a word from a Merciful Lord. (YaSeen, 36:58)
Question #6: As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi. How do you live with family members who don’t pray or follow the commandments in any way? What if their actions are causing spiritual issues in the house? What if the actions of your family members are causing demonic presence in the house and causing more problems to the one practicing the deen (religion)?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Walaykum as salaam. Then Allah (AJ) gave you a big challenge. What can you do.? Until you have the ability to live in a different home and live under your own environment and have a job and take care of yourself, then you’re exactly where Allah (AJ) puts you. So better to build yourself, build your character. Do your salahs (daily prayers) privately, do whatever you can to build your energy. That may be your motivating factor in your life. Allah (AJ) has, “Ya Wahhab, Ya Wahhab, Ya Wahhab, Ya Musabbibal Asbab.” (O Bestower! O Originator of causes!)
يَا وَهَّابُ يَا وَهَّابُ يَا وَهَّابُ، يَا مُسَبِّبَ الأَسْبَابِ، يَا مُفَتِّحُ الأَبْوَابِ، يَا مُقَلِّبُ الْقُلُوْبِ وَالأَبْصَارِ.يَا دَلِيْلَ الْمُتَحَيِّرِيْنَ…
“Ya Wahhab. Ya Wahhab. Ya Wahhab. Ya musabbibal asbab, ya mufattihul abwab, ya muqallibul qulubi wal absar. Ya Dalilal mutahayyirin,…
“O Bestower! O Bestower! O Bestower! O Originator of causes! O Opener of doors! O Tuner (Changer) of hearts and eyes! O Guide of the perplexed!…
“Ya Musabbibal Asbab (O Originator of causes).” That Allah (AJ) is the One who puts you in a condition. “Mufattihul Abwab (O Opener of doors),” is that He wants to open a door. So that condition maybe is motivating you to tune into this channel. Had you not had that condition, maybe you would have not tuned in because everything would have been great. So for everything Allah (AJ) is the best of planner. A little bit of you know shaitans (satans) biting you make you pray a lot. Keep yourself in wudu (ablution), get a ta’weez (prayer for protection).
It means Allah (AJ) has the best of plans. If you have the ability and Allah (AJ) opens for you your rizq and sustenance and the ability to be in a place of your own, then alhamdulillah. If Allah (AJ) didn’t, then there must be a reason why you’re in that condition. Use all of what Allah (AJ) has sent and to fortify yourself. If Allah (AJ) is with you, doesn’t matter what a demon is doing. They’ll move out. All of us have been tested with many demons trying to move all in and around and everything. When your practices are strong enough, that light burns those demons and they run, they’ll move somewhere else. They don’t want to be in that presence of that light.
Audience : Related to that, but you answered.
Question #7: Shaykh I’m facing immense negativity and getting really bad energy from a particular institution and its people. However I study there and have real hardships in education, don’t know if I should quit?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: No, put your ta’weez, get your practices strong and you go wherever Allah (AJ) wants you to go. ‘I fear not for I walk through the valley of death but I know that my lord is with me.’
Never focus on the negativity, focus on building your energy and building your strength. Allah’s (AJ) great, there’s no power greater than Allah (AJ). But what it does show is a deficiency within our own practices, right. So when your energy is solid, your madad (support) is strong, you have an immense connection, wherever you walk they’re in difficulty. Wherever you walk, if you’re in difficulty then something’s not right in the formula.
You don’t run away, lose your career, lose your university, lose everything. Then tomorrow you say, ‘I can’t get on the bus because there’s bad energy. I can’t leave the house because of bad energy.’ Before you know it, you will now be like what they call ‘OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder).’ Your mind takes over and begin to convince you, ‘You can’t do nothing.’ This is not about defeat at all. It‘s actually about doing everything you’re supposed to do and go out and walk out. Allah (AJ) with you, make your practices strong.
Question #8: As salaamu alaykum Mawlana, what should we do if we can’t focus on one shaykh during our daily muraqabah (spiritual connection) and keep seeing different Naqshbandi Shaykhs every time?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Then do whatever comes to your heart, alhamdulillah. But remember that the mind has to be controlled. So like a tourist and you’re on a bus and instead of getting to your destination, you’re more interested in the scenery. So, ‘I want to go here, I want to be here, I want to connect with this, I want to connect with that.’ Before you know it you got off the bus and you’re going all around to all the different souvenir shops. But you didn’t get to the main place. So as much as your heart tells you, connect and whatever your heart connects with stick with that and keep the focus. That, ‘I want to go to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. I want to be at Rauza e Sharif and I want to be dressed by that.’ [pic 2]
But as far as your day-to-day shaykh, you have to ask that shaykh that you listen to, taking guidance and direction from, ‘Enter into my heart.’ Don’t ask that you’re going to be dressed by his tajalli because you’re not taking yourself to his maqam (station). But you’re asking for his faiz and his light to enter into your heart and overtake you. Not at his level to go to him. But you have to ask that ‘Your light enter into my heart and to dress me and guide me.’ So that should make your life much more clear, inshaAllah.
Question #9: As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi, may Allah (AJ) bless you all. Oh Sayyidi thank you so much for everything and thank you to everyone helping you. Thank you! Just Thank you 🙂
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Thank you, thank you, Allah (AJ) bless you. Yeah that talk wasn’t about thanking me to my face, it was just, about an outside observer realizing that we’re not very thankful people. This is the school of manners, where’s the members of all these four-thousand people watching? So that that’s about that and show thankfulness to Allah (AJ) and to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ inshaAllah. And that’s what’s important in our life and we’ll do that with everything and everyone and they will be thankful servants and Allah (AJ) inshaAllah save us because of our good character.
Question #10: As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi. What are some of the signs that show that we are connected? Is it sakinah – tranquillity only? People can think calmness is just carelessness, like you don’t bother.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Walaykum as salaam. No, to show that you’re connected you have to feel the faiz of the shaykhs. Calmness you could be downloading an app. That’s not calmness at all. The tariqah (spiritual path) is you accept the tariqah testing will begin. Agitation and aggravation will begin. To know that you’re connected means, ‘I’m supporting, I’m participating, I’m watching, and I’m meditating. When I’m meditating, I’m feeling that light to enter, I feel the faiz of the shaykh it’s is all around me.’ Because it’s real, it’s not a philosophy. Then you know you’re connected. You’re supporting and participating at every level, you’re trying to get their nazar and their attention.
There are people who email and just say, ‘Shaykh your nazar upon me and grant me my seven nafses (egos), Nafs Al Ammara (Evil Self) and open everything.’ That’s always the funniest ones that, ‘Just grant me, give me, give me, give me, my name is Jimmy.’ But it’s wrong. The bay’ah (pledge of allegiance) is that you’re not going to come and take bay’ah right. ‘I’m coming to take bay’ah. Then while I’m at it, can I have your jubba (Islamic robe) too. Can I get a cane, can I get a tasbih (prayer beads)? Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I?’
You are actually going to give your bay’ah, right? Because then they’re going to push you and shake you down for everything. You’re going to give, you’re going to give, you’re going to give, you’re going to give, until you show that you are with them. That you’re locked on and you understand. And they’re going to give you from what Allah (AJ) has given to them of their reality. You’re not coming to take anything from the shaykh but you’re coming to give yourself to the shaykh.
That’s why you can’t email that, ‘I’d like to run away to somewhere right now. Can I go?’ You can’t be here and do that, to run away. You got to stay in it. But if you’re far away, yeah you can. You can’t leave the presence of a shaykh – physical presence of a shaykh and run away. Run away where? Where will you find? Like Nuh’s (Noah) son, ‘I’ll find a mountain higher.’ Not if your mountain is here. You belong on that ship and that ship is where your safety and to these co-ordinance come to you. You run outside of that ship, you’re outside of that umbrella of protection.
قَالَ سَآوِي إِلَىٰ جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ ۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ۚ وَحَالَ بَيْنَهُمَا الْمَوْجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُغْرَقِينَ ﴿٤٣﴾
11:43 – “Qaala sa aawee ilaa jabaliny ya’simunee minal maaa’; qaala laa ‘aasimal yawma min amril laahi illaa mar rahim; wa haala bainahumal mawju fakaana minal mughraqeen.” (Surat Hud)
He (Noah’s son) said: “I will take myself to a mountain to protect me from the water.” [Noah] said, “There is no protector today from the command/decree of Allah, except those on whom He has mercy.” And the waves came between them, and he (the son) was among the drowned.” (Hud, 11:43)
Question #11: Sayyidi forgive me if I’m wrong, what is the reality of the Bermuda Triangle?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Absolutely no idea [shaykh laughs]. There’s too much sci-fi channels. I said that was those channels, when you watch those uh… that was a talk last week. [shaykh laughs] If you watch too much of that TV, you think you’re watching the TV but the tv is actually watching you. And they start to give you, ‘This channel, this channel, this channel, this channel.’ There are just many strange energies on this earth, don’t worry about that.
Keep focus right now to connect our hearts with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. And the fitna (confusion) of dajjal that’s entering and all the systems that he’s putting in place to make a difficulty against the heart of the believer. That Allah (AJ) give us this time to improve our connection, improve the madad and to connect to this heavenly channel. This heavenly faiz that enter into the hearts of the believers as a najat (salvation) and as a guidance – as a huda. As a guidance for their reality that they’re going to need in very dark times, inshaAllah.
Audience: Just a lot of people thanking. Saying that because of your advice they’ve overcome many big hurdles in their life and thanking you. Especially for ever since they’re reciting their daily wazifa (spiritual practice) they overcame a lot of anxiety and depression so they’re thanking.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Thank you, thank you. Good, good, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah. Keep doing it and inshaAllah support and keep reading the app – the du’as on the app. Keep reciting the different du’as and for the Du’a e Ayatul Kursi recite that seven times a day for anyone who feeling any type of energy coming after them.
Reciting Du’a Mathur which is the du’a of the Sultanul Awliyas’ (King of Saints) of the time. That asking by their faiz, their blessings that to recite those duas to take any type of difficulty away. Then inshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress us, bless us, and give us from these holy nights immense oceans of rahmah and mercy inshaAllah. Jummah Mubarak to everybody inshaAllah.
Question #12: Somebody is from the Qadiri Silsila (spiritual lineage) and just wants to know if it’s okay to take a bay’ah with the shaykh?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Sure, inshaAllah all the bay’ah’s (pledge of allegiance) are to the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That your relationship with the shaykh has to be one of learning so there must be knowledges coming through. And there must be a way of communicating so that you can get your guidance and your co-ordinance and a way of supporting. Because those elements are what keep the relationship with the shaykh and the student flowing.
As long as we’re able to keep these connections and this knowledge is able to reach to people. As long as you’re able to communicate back what your co-ordinance are, then alhamdulillah everything is safe, everything is good. That way you can get the faiz that you need, the guidance that you need, the understandings you need. And to make your connection to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ inshaAllah.
Audience : Someone just asked a question on the Facebook.
Question #13: What to do if I have a high screen use, given everything is remote – work, school. How to get rid of that energy from technology?
Audience : I guess they have to be in front of the computer all the time.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: All the time, yeah. Programmers are like that and all the computer people are like that. You go home and you have to wash.You just keep yourself always in wudu, keep yourself with the ta’weez, keep yourself with Salatul Wudu (Prayer of Ablution). When you go and shower at home, you shower visualizing in the water that your soul is just whirling and washing away all these negativities. Water becomes an immense reality in which to wash away every type of negativity.
Then you combat that also with your eyes to see positivity, so by watching the videos [shaykh’s teachings], watching the Youtube. So that your eyes are not only immersed in an ocean of badness and technology but immerse
Audience : Yunus Emre.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi : Yunus Emre [shaykh laughs]. Somebody out there is Yusuf Emre [shaykh laughs].
Audience : It’s coming soon.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, but ‘Yunus’ for now. So that also it give your eyes you know the halal (permissible) candy. So that you watch it, understand the tariqah (spiritual path), and give good thoughts into your heart and into your mind inshaAllah.
Question #14: A quick clarification on the daily awrad. Sayyidi can we do awrad quickly at any time without being in a separate room, if there’s a difficulty to follow the proper protocol of awrad?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, you can be in your car going to work if you can’t be in a room. The candle and the fabric is not needed. Those were extra, but they added it in for some reason to the app, it should be out of the app [Muhammadan Way Application]. The daily awrad has nothing to do with a candle and a white fabric. That was just a at a higher level if you’re going to use it as a meditation, you would enshroud yourself and late at night you put a candle and meditate.
But the daily awrad can be just done right before you head out the door. You can do the zikr of ‘Allah’ in the car going. And the zikr of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ the salawat on the way coming back. So it can be broken up, it just has to be done on a daily basis inshaAllah. Then you can go home later and sit and make salawats as much as you want and meditate.
Meditate is then to sit and to do your breathing and connecting your heart and that’s a whole different other than doing the awrad inshaAllah. The meditation is to connect your heart and to build a spiritual relationship with the shaykh. That to bring the light into the heart which is going to be the light of faith. Asking the shaykh to send a faiz into your heart. Send this light into my heart and to illuminate my heart with what Allah (AJ) has given to you on your soul. So that, that light comes.
With that light it comes the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and Allah’s (AJ) immense blessings. So that it keeps coming, coming, coming until the heart can be lit, in which the student feels they’ve been caught on fire. They’re heated up every time they start their practices. That’s a good sign. The sign that you… you’re getting it and you’re making the connection is if you’re able to heat up. If The shaykh can heat you up and you heat up in your meditations and in your practices. Your candle is now lit. Now you have to sort of nourish your faith so that it keeps growing, keeps growing this light and this love keeps growing within the heart, inshaAllah.
Question #15: Sayyidi how to develop discipline to do morning practices? Please suggest any tips for how to be disciplined in the morning?
Audience: I guess they can’t wake up for fajr.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: How to do the Fajr (dawn prayer)? The only way to do discipline is you got to then go to bed earlier. And drink a lot of water when you’re sleeping. Before you sleep try to drink a large amount of water. So the whole night you have to keep getting up to wash. Every two hours you’re washing, every three hours you’re washing. That way you sleep a little bit lighter. Don’t go to sleep so in a heavy deep sleep that you can’t get up.
You train yourself because you have to make your wudu. You make your wudu and you have to wash because you can’t go to bed without wudu. You have to throw water on yourself, wash. Then again you are interrupting that deep sleep, so it’s a much lighter sleep phase, and then you’re up. Every time you’re up, you have to pray your wudu – Salatul Wudu. So one of those times you’re going to hit it around four-thirty whenever the Fajr is, then you can start doing your Fajr at that time. So You have to just keep disciplining yourself on how to trick yourself to get up, water is the easiest.
Question #16: Shaykh is time travel possible?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Time travel? Haqqiqatut Tayy (Reality of Folding Time and Space) of course it is. Time is a constant and it’s a page on a book. So to move in the world of light you can move back and you can move forward. But that requires a permission from Allah (AJ).
For the believer it’s the duality of light. The light is a particle and a wave. At a particle, we see each other in a form but our wave reality is our light is emanating everywhere. Everywhere in this time from beginning of time our light to the end of time that light. How to reach to the world of light is to free ourselves from the world of form. That has a much deeper understanding, those are all the spiritual practices.
When Allah (AJ) open in the last days for Sayyidina Mahdi (as) is this Haqqiqatut Tayy, inshaAllah. The believer with, “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem,” step and to move to wherever dimension Allah (AJ) want and whatever location Allah (AJ) want for them. What they understand in movies is a little bit but they don’t understand it.
There’s a new movie that came out that something about going backwards as they’re moving. Then everything would go backward when they’re moving… ‘Tenet’ [Movie].
Audience : Oh yeah, ‘Tenet.’
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: That didn’t make sense, is just that the guy got too excited from the other movie he made. It was way off. You go forward in time, then everything would be going backwards. They don’t put in account in their knowledge to Allah (AJ).
When Allah (AJ) created creation, they are merely just pages of a book. So Every moment stays in eternity. This moment of ours is a page, eternal, it shifts. Next day is a new page. But in the world of light, if they free themself from physicality they enter into the world of light. If Allah (AJ) want to show them 500 pages back, they enter into that page. They can be present at that page and for them at that time would be present. It’s not, not something they understand. InshaAllah.
Audience : Sayyidi, there’s a lot of people asking about bay’ah (pledge of allegiance) and this one person is saying
Question #17: Sayyidi, as salaamu alaykum. I want to take bay’ah but I’m afraid what if I will not be able to do what I need to do? Should I still go with bay’ah or wait for some time?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Sure, there’s nobody, nobody can do what they have to do. If it was a matter of being perfected, then we wouldn’t need bay’ah. It’s a matter of knowing that I’m nothing and that I’m in need of help Ya Rabbi, I’m in need of a support. That from whom You granted that support, for all that support to reach all of us.
So this is not a school of perfected people. We just started off saying that nobody is even saying, ‘Thank you,’ when they watch the videos. But this is a school in which to teach about perfection. That what we’re doing wrong. Like a hospital where nobody knows they’re sick. This is the hospital in which everybody is being told how sick they are. That we can try to fix ourselves, perfect ourselves. And to re-educate ourselves on what Allah (AJ) wants for His satisfaction. So Definitely this is a path in which to perfect ourselves and not for the perfected.
You have the sheet for the bay’ah that was outside Haji Shamash? There’s a sheet out there on my thing that has the bay’ah inshaAllah [Shaykh asks audience to bring bay’ah sheet].
Question #18: Sayyidi, as salaamu alaykum. What is it when feeling a pressure and expansion and physical feeling in the heart?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi : It’s good. That like everything else is a contraction and expansion. That Allah’s (AJ) Names that are jalal – which is Might. So any type of a majestic dress, it causes a contraction because the heart, the body, the chest will all be contracted by a majestic dress. When Allah (AJ) want to dress the servant with a majestic tajalli (manifestation). Those nights are nights of haybah (majestic power) in which majestic lights come and they come to destroy badness. They come like a fire upon the insan (mankind).
Then jamali (beatific) is when there’s an expansion. So means after every contraction, there must be an expansion. So when they contract, Allah (AJ) is raising the servant. When there’s an opening, it’s a jamali – it’s a beatific dress and tajalli of beatific oceans. Where they feel like they want to cry and everything is beautiful because Allah (AJ) is now dressing from that station. So that which you crush is actually being raised. Then it become soft in which they can be dressed and blessed by what Allah (AJ) just raised them with.
So it’s a continuous contraction and expansion.That’s similar to why the woman has contractions and expansions. Why? So that this new insan can come out. The earth also mimics the womb of the woman because the earth is in a continuous contraction and expansion. It is what you call ‘Earthquakes.’ Continuously quaking, quaking, quaking. That Allah (AJ) described, ‘That which is hidden inside can become known.’ So the reality of the soul wants to come out. So Allah (AJ) will crush and then raise, crush and raise. Now the reality is coming out for insan, inshaAllah.
إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزَالَهَا ﴿١﴾ وَأَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا ﴿٢﴾
99:1-2 – “Izaa zul zilatil ardu zil zaalaha (1) Wa akh rajatil ardu athqaalaha (2)” (Surat Az-Zalzalah)
“When the earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake. (1) And the earth discharges its burdens (from within) (2)” (The Earthquake, 99:1-2)
