From the Realities of Mawlana Shaykh (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.

A’udhu 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

﴾سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ ﴿٥

97:5 – “Salaamun hiya hattaa mat la’il fajr (Surat Al-Qadr)

“Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (The Power, 97:5)

Alhamdulillah always a reminder for myself, ana abda kul ajee wa da’eef wa miskin wa dhalim wa jahl, that by the Grace of Allah (AJ) we are in existence. To take a path of nothingness in a dunya (material world) that is constantly making ‘somethingness’.

Muhammadan Guides Have Heavenly Authority

“Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Obey Allah, Obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you).

﴾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)

Alhamdulillah, from their knowledges and from their hearts; that Allah (AJ) sends to the reality of Prophet ﷺ and Prophet ﷺ sends to the ulul amr (saints). The ulul amr whom are real and sincere, whom Allah has granted what Allah (AJ) wants to grant. Their authority is from the Heavens. There are ulul amr (those in authority) of dunya (material world) who are authorized by dunya people and they authorize each other. And there are those who are authorized by the Heavens. And alhamdulillah, that Allah (AJ) granted us a tremendous ni’mat (blessing) to be from them, to be following them, Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana ق. Allah (AJ) sanctify their secret and raise their darajats (stations) infinitely higher.

Our Journey Starts With Shari’ah (Divine Law, Natural Law of Creation)

In these days of difficulty and hardship that we ask that Allah (AJ) dress us. A reminder for us is from Surat Al Qadr (Chapter 97, Holy Qur’an), where Allah (AJ) is granting from the oceans of Divinely Power. In everything there are levels of knowledge. They have the level of shari’ah (Islamic Jurisprudence), and cause and effect that governs the physical world, the world of form.

Tariqah (Spiritual Path) is the Way to Reach Divinely Realities

Ilm at-Tariqah (spiritual path) that Allah (AJ) grants to those who are taking a path. They are on “tawasaw bil haqqi wa tawasaw bi sabr.”

﴾إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ ﴿٣

103:2-3 – “Innal insaana lafee khusr (2) Illal ladheena aamano wa ‘amilos saalihaati, wa tawasaw bil haqqi wa tawasaw bis Sabr. (3)” (Surat Al-Asr)

“Verily, Mankind is in loss.(2) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.(3)” (The Declining Day, 103:2-3)

They are on a path of haqq (truth) to reach towards realities. They are making an ascension. When Allah (AJ) is saying that the people of tafakkur (contemplation) know (Holy Qur’an, 45:13), the people of the door, ulul baab know (Holy Qur’an, 2:269), the people of understanding know, that have you ascended and made your ascension? It means those who struggle and strive against themselves and against their bad character, Allah grants (AJ) them a level deeper than the shari’ah (Divine Law), which is based off the shari’ah. Then it’s the knowledge of tariqah (spiritual path).

﴾يُؤْتِي الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ ﴿٢٦٩

2:269 – “Yu’til Hikmata mai yasha o; wa mai yutal Hikmata faqad otiya khairan kaseeraa; wa maa yazzakkaru illaa ulul albaab.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“He gives wisdom to whom He wills, and whoever has been given wisdom has certainly been given abundant goodness. And none will remember except the People of the door.” (The Cow, 2:269)

The Levels of Knowledge in the Reality of a Circle

1. Shari’ah (Divine Law)

From the knowledge of the tariq (way) and the way towards the ma’rifah (Gnosticism) of Allah (AJ), it becomes like the circle, which is shari’ah (Divine Law) that governs everything.

2. Tariqah (Spiritual Path)

There is the radius from every point of the circumference to the center, which is the center of power. The nucleus is the center of power that emanates through all the circumference. Every ‘izzat, every reality, once we understand just one circle, then every reality will begin to unfold. That the knowledge of shari’ah, tariqah, and ma’rifah.

3. Ma’rifah (Gnosticism)

Those who are taking a path on each step of that tariq (path) can go deeper into the oceans of ma’rifah (Gnosticism). Those who are Gnostic in the way of Allah (AJ) , it means they have been dressed by shari’ah (Divine Law). Then Allah (AJ) is granting them the knowledge of tariqah (spiritual path). Then from the knowledge of tariqah granting them the knowledges of ma’rifah (Gnosticism).

4. Haqiqah (Reality)

From the knowledges of ma’rifah (Gnosticism), they are now granting as they are drawing closer to the realities. They are now granting them haqiqah; the haqaiq, the truth of that reality, like the essence of that reality.

5. ‘Azimah (Determination)

Then the knowledge of ‘Azimah; that they are so close to the center of the Divinely Presence, the Divinely Kingdom, that Allah (AJ) is granting them the knowledge of ‘Azimah and its magnificence and munificence.

Description of Laylatul Qadr (Night of Power)

From the understandings of difficulty that is coming onto dunya (material world), that is a tremendous power in Surat al-Qadr (Power).

﴾إِنَّا أَنزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ﴿١﴾ وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ﴿٢﴾ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ ﴿٣﴾ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ ﴿٤﴾ سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ ﴿٥

97:1-5 – “Innaa anzalnaahu fee lailatil qadr. (1) Wa maa adraaka ma lailatul qadr (2) Lailatul qadri khairum min alfee shahr. (3) Tanaz zalul malaa-ikatu war roohu feeha bi izni-rab bihim min kulli amr. (4) Salaamun hiya hattaa mat la’il fajr. (5)” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“We have brought it down on the night of power. (1) And what will explain to you what the night of power is? (2) The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. (3) The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair. (4) Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. (5)” (The Power, 97:1-5)

Allah (AJ) is describing that the Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power), ‘We indeed revealed this Message on a Night of Power. What will explain to thee what is the night of Power? The night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah’s (AJ) permission, on every order coming by that authority and reality. And there is peace until the rising of the morning.’ “Salaamun hiya hatta matla il-Fajr” (Holy Qur’an, 97:5).

The Power of the Sun

This diagram is going to give us an understanding of the shams (sun) and the power Allah (AJ) is granting to a sun. So, you look at the sun. For us just to understand, because realities are difficult to convey without some sort of visual, that they want us to perceive. To be dressed by a qadr (power), to be dressed by Allah’s (AJ) Rida (satisfaction), to be dressed by protection in days of difficulty, more protection is needed; more understanding is needed.

We start with “kulli amr”, that every “malaikati war ruhfiha bi idhni rabbihim” (The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord, Holy Qur’an, 97:4).

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikaatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

The Sun is a Sign of Eternity

If you make the circle of the sun as an example, because the sun for us is a reality of eternity. The sun for our understanding because Allah (AJ) teaches, ‘I will show you upon the horizon and then upon yourself.’

﴾سَنُرِيهِمْ آيَاتِنَا فِي الْآفَاقِ وَفِي أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ ۗ … ﴿٥٣

41:53 – “Sanureehim Aayaatinaa fil aafaaqi wa feee anfusihim hattaa yatabaiyana lahum annahul haqq…” (Surat Al-Fussilat)

“Soon will We show them our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth), and in their own souls, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth…” (Explained in Detail, 41:53)

The signs upon yourself is going to be much more complicated. To understand the horizon, that which is eternal around us is the sun. It has been there from the time of Sayyidina Adam (as). Every prophet has seen that sun. So, for us to understand eternity, it is the shams (sun). That is why we say Shams al-Arifeen (the Sun of all Knowers). Shams an-Nabiyin ﷺ means the sun of all the prophets. S-U-N, not S-O-N. It means the eternal authority, power and qudra of that reality.
Then Allah (AJ) is describing every angel and the ruh (soul), with the permission of Allah (AJ) is descending upon you with every amr (command). Every amr has to do with every order, every command. For us to understand now just the Shari’ah level of the sun.

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

We Can Live on Earth Because of Our Proximity to the Sun

The power that Allah (AJ) is dressing is a symbol of Allah’s (AJ) Qadr. So, He says, in My Qadr (Power), in that sun, every order is moving through that sun because you still probably don’t know the importance of the sun in your existence. But once we study just a little bit about the sun, you breathe from the sun and you can see from the sun. You have warmth and life on this planet, because of our proximity to the sun. If Allah (AJ) puts you on the moon you would be frozen, or you would have been cooked at 250 degrees. So, the Earth is precisely positioned for a life and an existence on this Earth and it is nourished by the power of that sun.

‘Kulli Amr’ (All Divinely Commands) Move Through the Sun of Realities

What they found that you put in that Sun “kulli amr” is that every amr, every order of Allah (AJ), is emanating through that sun, if you look at this diagram. That order and the ruh has to do with the secret of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ light. Everything is from Prophet’s ﷺ light. The malaika (angels) carry the orders from the Divinely Presence as the purified lights, the purified souls. They don’t make up, they don’t deviate, they don’t go left, they don’t go right.

So, Allah’s (AJ) ‘Izzat, Allah’s (AJ) Command, atiullah, comes to Prophet ﷺ, the ati ar Rasul. From Prophet ﷺ to ulul amr, they are amongst the ulul amr – the people of the amr, of the conveyance, of the orders. Every order of Allah (AJ) is moving through that sun.

﴾ياأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُواللَّه وَأَطِيعُوٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُوْلِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ… ﴿٥٩…

4:59 – “…Ya ayyu hal latheena amanoo Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat An-Nisa)

“…O You who have believed, Obey Allah, Obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)

Photons of the Sun are Malaika Reaching the Farthest Planet in the Galaxy

It means then on the shari’ah (Divine Law) level, they begin to teach us that everything that is coming from that sun are malaika (angels) with authorities from Allah (AJ). So, when they began to study the sun, they saw that there was a photon inside the sun. There is a light inside the sun that penetrates everything. They went deep into the Earth, fifty miles underground and they said there was a photon there. They went out to the outer planets with satellites and they said the photons of our sun for this galaxy reaches the farthest levels of the planets. Kulli amr (all commands), Allah (AJ) says that My Power, My ‘Izzat with malaika (angels) and the authority of the ruh, means there is a reality from Prophet ﷺ giving command to those malaika (angels) that deliver Allah’s (AJ) order.

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿ ٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

Malaika (Angels) Carry the Amr and Nourish All Galaxies

They found that all your nourishment, what is coming to you of your sight, your breath, the plants; everything is in need of the photon. It means in need of Allah’s (AJ) malaika. These angels are carrying every command all the way to the farthest planet of that galaxy and each sun is filled with its angels with an authority from the ruh. It’s nourishing the galaxy that Allah (AJ) has put under its command. It means every angel is being dispersed, that the flower on this Earth it requires your ray, and the angel will reach to that flower exactly the way Allah (AJ) wants it.

Everything is nourished and everything is in the best of hisaab (account). It can’t be random. There is no randomness. That Allah (AJ) gives a command and that angel’s ray is responsible to hit that flower, to hit that human, to hit that mountain, wherever it is supposed to go and to nourish what Allah (AJ) wants it to nourish. It moves precisely.

﴾لِّيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِ‌سَالَاتِ رَ‌بِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا ﴿٢٨

72:28 – “Liya’lama an qad ablaghoo risalati rabbihim wa ahata bima ladayhim wa ahsa kulla shay in ‘adada.” (Surat Al-Jinn)

“That He may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.” (The Jinn, 72:28)

Salatul Fajr (Morning Prayer) is Full of Allah’s (AJ) Peace and Mercy

Malaika bring salaamun (peace). At Shari’ah level of salaamun, it brings salaamun, brings peace to everything. This is Allah’s (AJ) ni’mat (blessing). It brings peace. It brings reality and tranquility. It brings the secret of hayat and eternity, life and oceans of ever-living and ever-existing coming from these rays with the salaamun.

﴾سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ‌ ﴿٥

97:5 – “Salamun, hiya hatta matla’il Fajr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (The Power, 97:5)

That salaamun dresses everything. So then, there are so many poetries and nasheeds (praisings) about the morning dew. How Allah (AJ) feeds everything in that morning. At night, it looks like it is dying. Everything is frightened. As soon as the Fajr (morning prayer) is rising, there is water, there are drops on flowers. There is a condensation taking place as Allah (AJ) is sending salaams. Allah is (AJ) sending a rahmah (mercy) upon this Creation that it has and produces a dew, a water, a life-force that nourishes it, until the rays begin to come and dress it and bless it. Even if you don’t see the sun, its rays are penetrating everything.

Shari’ah (Divine Law) Shows That Allah (AJ) Governs the World

So then that salaam (peace) is coming, the “hiya” is in reference to the power that Allah (AJ) is bringing upon the Earth. So, the Shari’ah level is for us to understand that, ‘Ya Rabbi, this power, this ‘‘izzat that You have dressed everywhere in the world of form is under Your Shari’ah.’ Shari’ah (Divine Law) is that what governs in the world of form. That sun can’t go anywhere; it is directly and precisely where Allah (AJ) wants it. It’s governed by Allah’s (AJ) ‘Izzat (Might).

﴾الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ بِحُسْبَانٍ ﴿٥

55:5 – “Ash Shamsu wal Qamaru bihusban.” (Surat Ar-Rahman)

“The sun and the moon [move] on their fixed courses by precise calculation.” (The Beneficent, 55:5)

So, the world of form is showing and Allah (AJ) is showing that from this world of form, I have given this power and this authority to what it represents. Within the rays of that sun, why it nourishes and why it penetrates everything is because I am telling you that the angels and the ruh are coming with all My Amr. It is a station of Allah’s (AJ) Amr (command). For us to understand, they are coming with every command upon that Creation and nourishing and performing everything that I am asking of it, precise.

﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّ‌وحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَ‌بِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ‌ ﴿٤

97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power 97:4)

Tariqah (Spiritual Path), Ma’rifah (Gnosticism), and Haqiqah (Reality) Teach Humans Are the Honoured Creation

Then the knowledges of tariqah (spiritual path), the knowledges of ma’rifah (Gnosticism) and the knowledges of haqiqah (reality) begin to come and say, “Wa laqad karamna bani Adam” (I have honoured the children of Adam). Their honour, their reality, is much higher. They are the custodians of all My Grace and all My Realities.

﴾وَلَقَدْ كَرَّ‌مْنَا بَنِي آدَمَ…﴿٧٠

17:70 – “Wa laqad karramna bani adama…” (Surat Al-Isra)

“And We have certainly honored the children of Adam…” (The Night Journey, 17:70)

They (saints) begin to teach that this sun and this reality that is going to bring an ‘izzat to us, this carries the amr (command) of Allah (AJ). These realities that are coming down, the world of form is only interested in the photon. It is only interested in the form.

All Amr (Commands) Come From the Heart of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

The people of haqaiq (realities) are asking to reach to Allah’s (AJ) Qadr (power), ‘Ya Rabbi, we want to reach Your Qudra and Your Power.’ The realities that are dressing Your Holy Qur’an, “Qaf wal Qur’an al majeed.”

﴾ق ۚ وَالْقُرْ‌آنِ الْمَجِيدِ ﴿١

50:1 – “Qaf, wal Quranil Majeed.” (Surat Qaf)

“Qaf. By the honored Qur’an.” (The Letter Qaf, 50:1)

Every power Allah (AJ) is sending through the Holy Qur’an. It means that every amr, every order, every authority is symbolically moving through these rays. That if you want to catch the reality of this amr (command), from what the malaika (angels) are coming, bringing of isharat and orders from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

The Ruh Carries a Secret That Governs Malaika (Angels)

The ruh is the authorized Muhammadan wali (saint) who is in charge of that reality because the ruh is carrying a secret from Prophet ﷺ. That secret is what governs the malaika (angels) on that station. Allah (AJ) is describing, ‘All My Commands for that planet are coming from there.’

Every amr, every order, every command is coming to you from a source of power. We still don’t know the haqaiq (realities) yet, but for us to be symbolic. That Allah (AJ) is showing there is a source of power and it is reaching to you; the angels are reaching to you.

‘Salaam’ is Loaded With Power and Knowledge

You want to be granted from this salaam? Ahl al-haqaiq (people of the reality) come and begin to teach, this salaam is a loaded reality. “Salaamun” means it is coming with this seen of salaam. What is Allah (AJ) going to be dressing you? Because the people who are accepting Qur’an, they pray Salat al-Fajr (morning prayer), so then there must be a haqaiq in the reality of that sun. The haqaiq will show itself to be much more powerful than the sun. It means Allah (AJ) is saying that, ‘You want to reach My Amr, My orders that are carried by the malaika (angels) and the ruh for you to understand the most purified realities of Prophet ﷺ?’ You say, ‘Yes, we want, ya Rabbi, this salaam.’

Decoding the Salaam (Peace)

They come and teach this salaam is carrying this sir, it is carrying nur al anwaar wa seerat al asrar. It is carrying the ‘secret of light, the light of all secrets’. It is carrying upon its tongue and its orders, this laam, is the conveyance of knowledge, lisanul haq (holy Tongue of Truth). It carries upon it an ‘izzat, there is an alif here. It carries upon it an ‘izzat from Allah (AJ) of that sir. And it comes through this meem.

Meem of Salaam – Pray Tahajjud to Enter Maqam al Mahmud

Where Allah (AJ) tells you to pray Tahajjud (Night Vigil) because you can enter into Maqam al-Mahmud.

﴾وَمِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَىٰ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَامًا مَّحْمُودًا ﴿٧٩

17:79 – “Wa minal layli fatahajjad bihi, nafilatal laka ‘asaa an yab’athaka Rabbuka Maqaman Mahmooda.” (Surat Al-Isra)

“And pray in the small watches of the morning: (it would be) an additional prayer (or spiritual profit) for thee: soon will your Lord raise you to a Station of Praise and Glory! [Maqam al Mahmood]” (The Night Journey, 17:79)

This is from Prophet ﷺ. This “salaamun” that awliyaullah (saints) are inspiring for us to reach. That you want to be dressed by this sir (secret), you want this conveyance? Because the malaika (angels) are going to be conveying to your heart these realities. This meem is the Muhammadan dress. Maqam al-Mahmud means it is coming from Prophet ﷺ. Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ on Earth, Sayyidina Mahmud ﷺ within the Heavens.

Pray Salatul Fajr, Allah (AJ) Dresses You With Qadr (Power)

This means from Salat at-Tahajjud to Salat al-Fajr, (Night Vigil prayer to Morning prayer) all these dresses are coming, this salaam is coming. So, in the level of tariqah (spiritual path), they are teaching that keep your Salat al-Fajr (morning prayer). Keep your Salat al-Fajr, Allah (AJ) will dress you with qadr (power). If you are missing your Salat al-Fajr you are missing a tremendous dress of qadr (power). To pray it by missing (pray later), that is one reality. Ask for istighfaar (forgiveness) and pray. But how pious people become pious is because they are becoming “fuluk ul mashhoon”. They are becoming loaded souls, loaded with tremendous amounts of power.

﴾وَآيَةٌ لَّهُمْ أَنَّا حَمَلْنَا ذُرِّ‌يَّتَهُمْ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ ﴿٤١

36:41 – “Wa ayatul lahum anna hamalna dhurriyyatahum fil fulkil mashhooni.” (Surat YaSeen)

“And a sign for them is that we have carried their atoms/forefathers in the loaded ship.” (YaSeen, 36:41)

Praying Salatul Fajr is the Remedy for All Problems

There is an energy that is dressing their soul, dressing their soul, why? Because they are at Salat al-Fajr (morning prayer), Allah (AJ) promised “Salaamun hiya hatta matlal Fajr”. Later we go to the higher levels of “hiya”, but for this understanding and the difficulties that sickness and many difficulties begin to come and it’s najat and its safety, is in Salat al-Fajr.

﴾سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ‌ ﴿٥

97:5 – “Salamun, hiya hatta matla’il Fajr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (The Power, 97:5)

They are warning that what is coming upon the Earth of negativity is something that can’t be imagined. It is not something that you just sort of say, ‘Okay, I know this person is going to go away.’ No, he is not going away. ‘My husband is a good person, he prays. I don’t need to pray.’ Your husband may have a nice grave, you may be in a different condition. Or vice versa.

So, they are warning for us that you want Allah’s (AJ) Qadr? You want Allah’s (AJ) Power? He is promising, from Holy Qur’an, ‘I am going to be sending you a salaam, I am going to be sending you salaam.’

Salaam Has a Sir (Secret) of Maqam al-Mahmud

Awliyaullah (saints) come and are telling you from the level of just tariqah (spiritual way), telling you that salaam you should be really striving for because it has a sir, a secret, within it. There is a lisan (tongue) and angels who are going to begin to teach in your Fajr and this is a tremendous reality from Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. It is an immense reward because Maqam al-Mahmud is that Prophet’s ﷺ energy and lights will come lower at the time of Fajr to receive people. It means it opens the ni’mat (blessings) from Allah (AJ) that Prophet’s ﷺ light to reach closer to people, to bring them closer back into that reality and begin to dress them.

Everything in Creation is Waiting For Fajr Because It’s Faraj (Salvation)

It means the awrads (spiritual practices), the zikr (remembrance), and every amal (action) that we are doing, its energy and power is coming, and they are warning for us is keep the Salat al Fajr. If you are sick, keep your Salat al Fajr; it is the best of medicine and best of remedies. If misguided and faith is low and doubt is entering, pray Salat al Fajr. Allah’s (AJ) salaamat is coming, Allah’s (AJ) najat (salvation) is coming. Allah’s (AJ) angels and the authority of the ruh will be dressing as He is dressing His leaves and flowers and nature and everything in Creation is waiting for Fajr.

Every bird begins to sing because now the faraj has come, the salvation has come; they see the lights, they see the energies. There are so many creatures who go out just to lick that water, the first drop of water that is coming on the leaves. How many creatures come out just to drink that, come out just to take that, because they know Allah’s (AJ) ni’mat (blessings) and mercy is upon that light and that energy. So, they are warning for us in the days of difficulty, don’t lose your Fajr. Keep your Fajr prayers. Allah’s (AJ) salaams (greeting of peace) is going to be dressing. Allah’s (AJ) lights and energy are going to be dressing.

‘Seen’ Has ‘Ilm al-Yaqeen, Ayn al-Yaqeen, and Haqq al-Yaqeen
(Knowledge, Vision, and Truth of Certainty)

Then they begin to go into the levels of the haqaiq, the levels of reality, that this is coming, this salaam. What makes it so immense for our Creation is that this again has ‘ilm al-yaqeen, ayn al-yaqeen, and haqq al-yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty, Vision of Certainty, Truth of Certainty). So, think then what Allah (AJ) is going to be dressing this sirr (secret). This ‘ilm al-yaqeen, ayn al-yaqeen, haqq al-yaqeen is going to be coming down on a tongue. The tongue of the Muhammadan reality is now coming towards the believer.

Don’t Miss Your Awrad – It’s Your Daily Connection to Saints

Those of Ahl al-Turuq (People of spiritual path) in which the turuqs are teaching them, giving them wazifas and awrads (spiritual practices). Don’t lose those awrads, don’t drop those wazifas. Everyday there is a wazifa that needs to be done. Anyone who doesn’t do it enters into thirty days of darkness. There is no way to stop it for one day. When you do the wazifa and awrad (spiritual practice), it is like a ‘dial-up’, a login into a computer. That you are dialing-up into one of those authorities, from one of these ulul amr (saints).

That Prophet ﷺ gave them that reality, give them these recitations. If they adhere to that recitation they are connecting into that reality. It means from their authority, of their amr (command) what Allah (AJ) dressed to them, they are going to be dressing you from ‘ilm al-yaqeen, ayn al-yaqeen, haqq al yaqeen (knowledge of certainty, vision of certainty, and truth of certainty), through a tongue of reality which is a Muhammadan haqaiq (realities). So, by keeping all of that, it begins to dress, dress, dress you.

‘Hiya’ is All the Power and Knowledge That Allah (AJ) Sends to Earth

Then they begin to teach what realities Allah (AJ) is going to open? This hiya is in reference to qadr, Allah’s (AJ) ‘izzat and power. It’s Qadr, qadr, qadr, hiya. Hiya is in reference to Allah’s (AJ) Power. Awliyaullah (saints) come and teach that hiya is every uloom (knowledges), uloom al-awaleen wal-akhireen (knowledges of the beginning to the end).

Ya of Hiya Represents All Knowledges from Alif to Ya

Every kalam (word), every knowledge is from the alif all the way to the last letter ya. Every knowledge is from letters. As you write these letters, these are knowledges being conveyed, realities are being conveyed. Then they teach that everything is an eternal circle of realities. That once you reach to the ya, the ya actually goes back and begins with the alif, the ya connects to the alif. This means every knowledge from alif, all the huroof (Arabic letters) to ya is coming to that servant. Every reality that Allah (AJ) is going to teach is through these letters. If Allah (AJ) compacts and condenses the letters and sends you a ya, He is sending you a yaqeen. He is sending you a knowledge.

Ha of Hiya is for Hidayat – Guidance and Love

Every type of reality is coming in that Salat al-Fajr and Allah (AJ) granted its hidayat. This ha is for hidayat. You want guidance, you want all of these realities; hiya is coming loaded. So, “salaamun hiya” (Holy Qur’an, 97:5). Allah (AJ) is saying, ‘This salamat that is now coming towards you with ‘ilm al-yaqeen, ayn al-yaqeen, haqq al-yaqeen (knowledge of certainty, vision of certainty, and truth of certainty) as a Muhammadan reality.

﴾سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ‌ ﴿٥

97:5 – “Salamun, hiya hatta matla’il Fajr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)

“Peace it is until the emergence of dawn.” (The Power, 97:5)

It means then they are going to begin and at higher levels, the servant is going to begin to understand the lights are presented to him in Fajr. There will be angels and awliya (saints) at their Fajr and every knowledge is being conveyed into their heart from the secret of hiya. Allah (AJ) condenses, that every kalam (word) I have from alif, baa, taa, thaa; everything that is making My Knowledges, all the Holy Qur’an are in those letters. He said, ‘I am going to package them all in a ya for you and I am going to send it accompanied by hidayat and guidance.’

If you look at the ha, it has a waw. It’s a waw inside a cave. The people of true guidance they have a waw within their heart. It means everything they do is based on love. These are the people of immense love that Allah (AJ) is going to send a hiya to them that every knowledge, every reality is going to be conveyed to you.

Every Knowledge is Conveyed at Fajr

So why then pious people and those who follow awliyaullah (saints) they never miss, unless they are sick or have difficulty, they never miss their Fajr? Because that is the time of their schooling. That is time in which Allah (AJ) is dressing them and blessing them. Allah (AJ) is conveying every salaam; it means every mushkilat, every difficulty is taken away at Fajr time. Every knowledge is conveyed at Fajr time. Every association and blessing and barakah is granted at Fajr time.

That is why the Fajr is actually Faraj, that you move around the letters and it’s faraj, salvation. Allah (AJ) is granting the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ a tremendous salvation to be free from difficulty. Then in all the levels of haqaiq (realities) because you are first coming to the commands of Allah (AJ) to pray the Fajr. Then they begin to describe the haqaiq of that reality, that it takes away every difficulty, takes away every mushkilat. Every dua (supplication) that is going to be accepted is most accepted at Salat al-Fajr.

Spend Tahajjud in Contemplation

Then for Ahl al-Ma’rifah (people of gnosticism) who are going and asking for knowledges that all the knowledge they heard, and they studied, as soon as they enter into Salat at-Tahajjud (Night Vigil Prayer) and they begin to contemplate that what did the Shaykh just talk about? Then that night when you are meditating and reading the articles or reading that understanding or listening again to it. Or even just meditating to Surat YaSeen at Fajr, at Tahajjud time, connecting your heart with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim ق and listening to Surat YaSeen, which is the heart of Prophet ﷺ. YaSeen is the heart of Holy Qur’an. Then Allah (AJ) says, ‘When Qur’an is recited, stop. Sit, contemplate, meditate so that Allah’s (AJ) Mercy can dress you.’ “Salaam” can dress. It means every reality will be opened at that time.

﴾وَإِذَا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَأَنصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ ﴿٢٠٤

7:204 – “Wa idhaa quria al Qur’an fastami’u lahu, wa anseetu la’alakum turhamon.” (Surat Al-A’raf)

“So when the Qur’an is recited, then listen to it, remain silent and pay attention, that you may receive mercy.” (The Heights, 7:204)

We pray that in those days of difficulty Allah (AJ) grant us a himmah, a strength not to leave. Shaytan (Satan) only wants difficulty for us and Shaytan makes everything to be difficult, ‘Don’t do that. Don’t, don’t, don’t listen to him. Don’t pray your Fajr. Don’t do like that. Don’t do your award (daily practices). Don’t do like that. Don’t come here’. Why? To put hardship upon the believer until they turn into difficulty and immense hardship. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us a himmah and strength to follow whatever Allah (AJ) wanted for us and to be dressed by Allah’s (AJ) infinite Rahmah, immense rahmah (mercy) that can’t even be imagined.

Subhaana rabbika rabbil izzati amma yasifoon wa salaamun alal mursaleen walhamdulillahi rabbil aalameen. Bi hurmatil Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi sirri surat al-Fatiha.
