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, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashraful 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.
Acknowledging Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ is an Immense Reality
But also, we didn’t go into the immense power of the Mawlid (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ). That we went into the reality of “Ya Ahad, Ya Samad, salli ‘ala Muhammad ﷺ’ and the Muhammadan dress and the immensity of Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) is the ignition.
يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ
“Ya Ahad, Ya Samad, salli ‘ala Muhammad.”
“O Unique One! O Eternally Besought! Bless Muhammad (Peace be upon him).”
As soon as we acknowledge the birth of this immense reality – it’s not something small, it’s the immense opening. “Innaa fatahna Fatham Mubeena” is a description of this reality of Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ.
﴾إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا ﴿١
48:1 – “Inna fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena.” (Surat Al-Fath)
“Verily We have granted you [Muhammad (pbuh)]a manifest Victory.” (The Victory, 48:1)
Allah (AJ) Will Be Known Through Muhammadan Rasulallah ﷺ
Nothing, nothing, nothing can open anything for the servant in this magnitude if you don’t acknowledge the reality. You pray all you want. You can pray thousands of years if Allah (AJ) give you a life like that. You can fast thousands of days – it will not open the haqqaiq (realities) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ without acknowledging that holy birth.
So, the Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ is the ignition that lights that light. That’s why it’s so immensely important. That as soon as our lives acknowledge the importance of that birth, the immensity of, “Oh, look these shaykhs are talking about all these lights, all these realities, that Allah (AJ) is bringing all these attributes to make the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.” Allah (AJ) a hidden treasure wanting to be known, is going to be known through what? Through Muhammadan Rasulallah ﷺ.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]
Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.” [Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]
Yet, you come to the birth and you don’t acknowledge it? So you’ve now insulted Allah (AJ) directly. He’s like, ‘What? You didn’t acknowledge that I was a hidden treasure? You didn’t see the treasure of My existence, My love, My compassion, My deen (religion), My way? You didn’t see that in Mumammadun Rasulallah ﷺ?’
We Understand Love, Compassion and Generosity By Learning About Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
That was the danger and that’s why these crazy Wahhabis and no mind people, they come against that because hizbul shaitan (party of satan). Shaitan (satan) is not interested at all in anyone becoming Muhammadiyoon. Shaitan is good with Allah (AJ). He’s bad with Bani Adam (children of Adam). Shaitan doesn’t want anyone to reach their reality. That Allah (AJ) want everybody to reach the reality.
As soon as they acknowledge the birth of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, that’s why go back and read all the words of these na’at (prophetic praising), all of the words of these salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and these nasheeds (songs of praise) – was the immensity of that birth. That the minute that nuqt (dot) came into existence, that’s Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ. That, thankful that Allah (AJ) decided to be known. ‘I want to be known. I want My realities to come through. It’s the reflection of La illaha illallah; never can be known, but its reflection should be known to you as Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.’
لَا إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌا رَسُولْ الله
“La ilaha illallahu Muhammadun Rasulallah”
“There is no deity but Allah, Prophet Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
When you want to think of compassion…how to know Allah’s (AJ) compassion? By reading the description of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. How to know generosity? It’s by reading the descriptions of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Because you know it by seeing it in creation. Who is the exemplar of everything in creation? It’s Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. If you found someone more compassionate, more loving, more generous, more beatific, the one who brought the perfection of Allah’s (AJ) religion is a reflection for us to find Allah (AJ).
The Muhammadan Light Ignites the Heart of the Servant
So, the Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ is then that event that triggers that light. As soon as the servant acknowledges that light, lives for the understanding of that light, lives a life in which the Ta’zim un Nabi (honouring the Prophet ﷺ) is to glorify the magnificent status of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Allah (AJ) begin to open their heart. “Idha jaa…” “Innaa fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena.” That what is the ‘great opening?’ What is the ‘opening?’ Is that when Allah (AJ) open the light within their heart of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. It means that Muhammadan light ignites within the heart of the servant.
Then Allah (AJ) describes because of that light all of the blessings – that Allah (AJ) will forgive you all your sins, forgive all the past, forgive all the future. He will keep you on Siratal Mustaqim (the Straight Path) and then will support you with ‘YansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza. I’ll support you with a mighty support.’
﴾إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِينًا ﴿١﴾ لِّيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّـهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِن ذَنبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيمًا ﴿٢﴾ وَيَنصُرَكَ اللَّـهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيزًا ﴿٣
48:1-3 – “Innaa fatahna laka Fatham Mubeena. (1) liyaghfira lakaallaahu maa taqaddama min dhanbika wa maa taakhkhara wa yutimma ni’matahu ‘alayka wa yahdiyaka siraathan mustaqima. (2) Wa yansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza. (3)” (Surat Al-Fath)
“Indeed, We granted you, [O Muhammad], a manifest Victory. (1) That Allah may forgive you your faults of the past and those to follow; and fulfil His favor upon you and guide you to a straight path. (2) And [that] Allah may help you with a mighty victory. (3)” (The Victory, 48:1-3)
We Must Continuously Spread the Honour of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
It means the immensity of that light is all opening by Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ. That’s why we live our life from Mawlid to Mawlid, ‘Ya Rabbi, grant me a life in which to see the Milad un Nabi ﷺ. If they quarantined us, alhamdulillah, we do it still from our center, we do it from our homes. That grant me a sustenance in which to support the Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ. Grant me a life in which I can spread the ta’zim (honour) and the magnificent status of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
That is a sign of the faith of the believers and a sign of blessing upon their souls that everything they’re doing is for that reality and based on that reality, Allah (AJ) begin to open the Muhammadan lights within their heart. That light begins to flourish and blossom within them. As a result, all of ayatul kareem (the generous verse of Holy Qur’an) begin to describe, ‘That light is “Hudan,” is a guidance for you.
﴾هَـٰذَا بَيَانٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَهُدًى وَمَوْعِظَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿١٣٨
3:138 – “Haaza bayaanul linnaasi wa hudan wa maw’izatul lilMuttaqeen.” (Surat Ali ‘Imran)
“This [Qur’an] is a clear statement to [all] the people, and a guidance and instruction for those who are ‘Mutaqeen’ /conscious of (divine presence).” (Family of Imran, 3:138)
You Will Be Victorious if Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ Light is Within Your Heart
That light is Shahidan, is also witness for you. That light is Mubashshiran, is one that will flash and send beatific lights within the soul of insan (mankind). That light is Nazeeran, that it will guide you from right and wrong. Because if the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is within the heart of the believer, then they are victorious because Allah’s (AJ) love is with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
﴾يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا ﴿٤٥
33:45 – “Ya ayyuhan Nabiyu inna arsalnaka Shahidan wa Mubashshiran wa Nazeera.” (Surat Al-Ahzab)
“O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a Witness and a Bearer of Glad Tidings and a Warner.” (The Combined Forces, 33:45)
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
