Reality of Ahlul Kawthar (People Dressed From The Fountain of Abundance) and the Path of Sacrifice
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ٱلْرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah (AJ) from the accursed Satan
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa Ashrafil Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ. Madad ya Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem, Ya Habibul ‘Azeem, unzur halana wa ishfa’lana, ‘abidona bi madadikum wa nazarekum.
Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum. Always a reminder for myself, ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence.
أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنكُم… ﴿٥٩﴾ …
4:59 – “…Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum…” (Surat an-Nisa)
“…Obey Allah, obey the Messenger, and those in authority among you…” (The Women, 4:59)
If not for the Grace of Allah (AJ) that we cease to exist. InshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress us from His oceans of Rahmah and mercy. Alhamdulilah from Mawlana Shaykh’s (Q) teaching of Shamsul ‘Arifeen (Sun of Knower). The ships that are traversing in the oceans of power, the oceans of light, the oceans of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The Muhammadan Haqaiq and reality ﷺ. We pray to be dressed from their lights, blessed from their lights. To teach from their realities that are flowing from their heart.
Immense Importance of Number 12 in the Way of Ma’rifah (Gnosticism)
That the 12th month from the power of 9, that from the common understanding is the 12th surah (chapter). We went into Sayyidina Yusuf (as) as an example of our life and our path. From their understandings, they’re moving from the power of 9 and on the 12th holy month which is the completion of the whole lunar cycle. 12 having to do with completion, 12 huroof (Arabic letters) in “la ilaha il Allah,” 12 huroof in “Muhammadan Rasulullah ﷺ.” It means it has a tremendous reality for us that the hijrah (migration) it comes to its finale in the 12th month. That we make our hijrah to the Holy Ka’bah and the way of ma’rifah and gnosticism. They move from the power of 9 and they move through the surah 108. That 9×12=108 which is Surat Al-Kawthar and these are from Ahlul Kawthar (people dressed from the Fountain of Abundance). That they started on the 9th surah, Surat Al-Tawbah.
Reminder for us that you enter in Muharram, InshaAllah in 2 weeks is coming the holy month of Muharram. The realities of Muharram that they teach that you’re entering into that Baab at Tawbah (Door of Repentance) where you’re asking to take off your bad characteristics. Take a path within the cave and the cave of the ‘arifeen (knowers). That they move through Surat Al-Tawbah, then the next 9 would be 18 [9×2=18]. Becoming from Ashab ul Kahf – the People of the Cave.
Sayyidina Sulaiman’s (as) Kingdom was a Glimpse of the Immense Authority of Prophet ﷺ Over Creation
The third 9 would be 27 [9×3=27] and has to do with the mulk (earthly realm). That Allah (AJ) gave to Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) which is merely a placeholder for us to understand the mulk in which was given to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When they doubt who and how great Prophet ﷺ? Allah (AJ) wants us to read Surat Al-Naml, the 27th surah. See what I gave to Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) which is not a drop in the ocean of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ greatness. I made all the jinn (unseen beings), ifrit (powerful demon), malaiyka (angels), everything at the command by a ring to Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). That ring is sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When Prophet ﷺ give his awliyaullah (saints) who are warisul Anbiya (inheritor of the Prophets (as)), that they inherit from the stations of the prophets of Bani Israel (children of Israel).
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ ، قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ: ” اَلْعُلَمَاءِ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.” [رِيَاضْ اَلصَّالِحِينْ: ١٣٨٨]
‘An Abi Darda (ra) qala, qala Rasulullahi (pbuh): “Al ‘Ulama ye warasatul Anbiya.” [Riyad As Saliheen, 1388)
Narrated by Abi Darda (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “My scholars are the inheritors of the prophets.” [Riyad As Saliheen 1388)
Prophet ﷺ give to them a ring and it is symbolic that all of dunya is under their hands and feet. The malaiyka, jinn, shayateen (devils), everything was at the hands and feet of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). The wind under his command, his throne huge throne moving upon a carpet. Allah (AJ) is reminding that when you read these surahs and you tafakkur and contemplate how much Allah (AJ) gives! How much there was ihtiram (respect)! How much there were huge thrones moving on carpets!
The Owner ﷺ of All Kingdoms Who Chose Humility Over Miracles
Because Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is so humble then these people think that oh, nothing was given to Prophet ﷺ. He is the owner of all of that. But out of humility didn’t want to show any of that and, ‘Let it to be shown through my representatives, who are all the prophets (as).’ They represent Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That, ‘When I come,’ he is going to be very humble, ‘I’m not going to show any of those,’ and that’s the greatness of Prophet ﷺ. In which Allah (AJ) says, ‘All of them, they wanted to show all those. You’re khuluqin ‘azheem – you’re a magnificent character.’
(٤) وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ
68:4 – “Wa innaka la’ala khuluqin ‘azheem.” (Surat Al-Qalam)
“Truly, You (O Muhammad!) are of a magnificent character.” (The Pen, 68:4)
‘He [Sayyidina Isa (as)] wanted to raise the dead, I let him to raise the dead. He [Sayyidina Sulaiman (as)] wanted to move his throne, I let the other one to move his throne. He [Sayyidina Musa (as)] wanted to move the water, I let him to move the water.’ All of them wanted to show, and the greatness of Prophet’s ﷺ character is, ‘I don’t want to show anything. If they love me, they love me; if they don’t love me Ya Rabbi, I’m not in need of that show to be loved.’ Allah (AJ) then gave: ‘You are a magnificent character.’ (Holy Qur’an, 68:4)
The Greatest Love Affair: Allah’s (AJ) Love for Prophet ﷺ
‘A magnificent character,’ for Allah (AJ) to say that is for us an understanding that Allah (AJ) loves Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. We are in search of God’s love and Allah (AJ) is showing, ‘No, no! My love was on Prophet ﷺ. He was not in need of showing his love to Me, I was showing My love to him ﷺ.’ It is a tremendous love affair. That Allah (AJ) is showing how much I gave for the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and how much Prophet ﷺ was showing his love for the Divine. That, ‘I’m not in need of all that power, all that authority, all under my hands and feet. But Ya Rabbi, I’m coming for Your love, I’m only going to be interested in Your love. I don’t want anything to distract me from that muhabbat (love). If the people like it ahlan wa sahlan (welcome and be at ease). If they don’t like it, what can you do?’ Gives for us that example, the 4th 9 is Surat Al-YaSeen [4×9=36].
Shamsul ‘Arifeen and the Journey of 12 Months
From First Gate of Imam Ali (as) to the 12th Gate of Imam Mahdi (as)
First Gate – Imam Ali (as)
So they are taking us, that enter in through tawbah (repentance). Make a life of true repentance where you really want to reach the finish and that nothing should stop you. That’s why no “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” When you make zabiha (slaughter), there is no “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” Just “Bismillah Allahu Akbar,” because who is the Gatekeeper of the first month? Sayyidina Ali (as) with the Zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)). This is the gate in which Prophet ﷺ describing that ‘This is the City of Knowledge.’ Imam Ali (as) is right there at the first month.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ:”أَنَا مَدِيْنَةُ الْعِلْمٍ وعَلِيٌّ بَابُهَا”
Qala RasulAllah ﷺ, “Ana madinatul ‘ilmin wa ‘Aliyyun baabuha.” (Hasan, At Tirmidhi)
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “I am the city of knowledge and ‘Ali (as) is its door/gatekeeper.” [Authentic by Imam Tirmidhi in al-Awsat]
Two Faces of Moon – The Companions (as) and Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of the Prophet (pbuh))
That in this Shamsul ‘Arifeen and the movement of the sun, there are 12 moons. We are in a lunar calendar. Each moon has a face from the external Companion (as), Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as) on the first moon, and the family companionship. The family inheritance of that moon of guidance which is the dark side of the moon that you don’t know its reality and that is Imam Ali (as).
So it means that each of these in the diagram we show 12 moons that are around that sun. Because the moon is the reflection of that reality. That you can’t move towards the sun because it blinds you. So the adab (manner) was then to look to the light of the moon. They are the reflections of that reality.
Siddiqiya (Truthful) Character is the Gateway to the Family Inheritance
The Companions (as) they’re all Siddiq (truthful). They teach the reality of companionship and ikhlaq and character, and, ‘Perfect that character and perfect your ikhlaq. Keep your highest ihtiram and respect.’ Then the family comes and teach the inheritance in which Prophet ﷺ has given to them. It means they carry the Prophetic inheritance and say that inheritance we are going to dress them with. Once they reach their siddiqiya reality and truthful cleanly reality, fragrance and perfumed with the love of Prophet ﷺ. Then the order from Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ from the family inheritance. That I don’t have to give it, make everyone’s responsibility to be Siddiq no problem. But the inheritance from the family means comes from Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That, ‘Now begin to train them from what I have given to you of your family inheritance,’ and Imam Ali (as) is the one at that gate. That’s why the Baab at Tawbah is the first month, the first of the Imams.
Number 110 Represents the Reality of Imam Ali (as)
Prophet ﷺ describes that there are 12 Imams (religious leaders) from my nation, 12 that hold that reality. The first of them Imam Ali (as). That’s why Imam Ali (as) ‘Ali (علی)’ spells 110 [ع=70, ل=30, ی=10 ]. 1 and the 10th day is ‘Ashura – first month, 10th day. It is the reality of 110. Any time we see the number 110 has to do with Imam Ali (as) and that reality. So the first in the hadith that we have on the website [www.NurMuhammad.com] that, ‘Comes from my nation 12 Imams. The first of them Ali (as) the last of them the Mahdi (as).’
Why Muharram is So Much Powerful?
So it means that when we’re coming into the 12th month the dress of all the Sahabi (Holy Companions of Prophet ﷺ) dressing us and the dress of the Imams and the secret of the realities of Prophet ﷺ dressing us. That’s why Muharram was so powerful. That Imam Ali (as) was lying within the bed to take the secret and the reality of the Kawthar. He is showing that I am going to sacrifice myself for this reality. Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as) accompanied Prophet ﷺ to the cave on Muharram which is the hijrah and the opening of that calendar.
It means your life is an opening in Muharram and the two great companions of Prophet ﷺ Allah (AJ) is showing us. Because this is the reality of the Kawthar and they show their caliber of their quality and their reality. The first of them Imam Ali (as) lays the whole threshold. That as a young boy Imam Ali (as) lied within the bed. That, ‘I will sacrifice myself for this great nation that you are about to establish. No need for me to see it, I’ll sacrifice myself for now. That will be my contribution to you Ya Sayyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger). Then go for the cave with your dear friend.’ How Allah (AJ) is so happy from that sacrifice that commanded Sayyidina Jibreel (as) and Sayyidina Mikhael (as) to guard the head and the feet of Imam Ali (as). Said, ‘Do not let a hair on him to be disturbed. I’m accepting his sacrifice.’
فِيِ لَيْلَةْ اَلْمَبِيتْ أَمِيِرْ اَلْمُؤْمِنِيِنْ عَلَىٰ فِرَاشِ اَلنَّبِيِ ﷺ
أَوْحَىٰ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إلَىٰ جَبْرَائِيلُ وَمِيكَائِيلَ: ألَّا كُنْتُمَا مِثْلِ عَلِيِّ بِنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ؟ آخَيْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ مُحَمّدٍ (صلّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وآله) فَبَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ يَفْدِيَة بِنَفْسِهِ ، وَيُؤْثِرُهْ بِالْحَيَاةِ. اَهْبِطَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَاحْفَظَهُ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِْ
Fi Laylat al Mabeet, Amir al Muminin ‘ala ferashi anNabiyi ﷺ. Awha Allahu ‘Azza wa Jalla ila Jibrayilu wa Mikayilu: “Alla kuntuma mithli ‘Aliyi ibn Abi Talib? Akhaytu baynahu wa bayna Muhammadin fabata ‘ala firashihi yafdiyah benafsihi, wa yuthiruh bil hayati. Ahbita/ihbeta ilal Ardi fahfazhahu min ‘adowwihi.
On the night when Amir al Muminin (the Leader of the Believers, Imam ‘Ali (as)) slept in the place of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Allah (AJ) told the angels Jibreel (as) and Mikayil (as): “Have you seen anyone like ‘Ali the son of Abi Talib? The brotherhood between him and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) is as such that Imam ‘Ali (as) slept in the place of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to sacrifice himself and give his life. Go to the Earth and protect him from the enemies.”
Imam Ali (as) Laid the Foundation of Ahlul Kawthar
Even gave a command to the angels that, ‘Would you do something like that? Would you sacrifice with that love that he has for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ?’ He lays the condition for Ahlul Kawthar – who are what? “Fasali li rabbika wanhar.”
(٢) فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ
108:2 – “Fasali li rabbika wanhar. ” (Surat Al-Kawthar)
“So pray to your Lord and Sacrifice.” (The Abundance, 108:2)
So means the reality of the Kawthar is based on ‘Pray to your Lord and live a life of sacrifice.’ Sacrifice your time, sacrifice your life, sacrifice your effort. Sacrifice everything for the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and you will move towards being from Ahlul Kawthar. Because if we don’t live their example, how are we going to reach towards their example?
12th Gate – Imam Mahdi (as)
They are teaching us, every month they are teaching us the reality, now comes the payday. The great day which is Dhul Hijjah. That you came through all and the last is Imam Mahdi (as). That, ‘I’m going to dress you on Dhul Hijjah, from the realities of hidayat (guidance). That I am the Muhammadan hadi, the most guided of all the guides. I’m going to be the collective light of all their reality in those last days. I’m going to reflect that light of Prophet ﷺ upon your reality.’
Who are The Mahdiyoon (Muhammadan Guides)?
Those that are following the Shamsul ‘Arifeen, they become Mahdiyoon. Mahdiyoon, because when they follow that reality Imam e Zaman Sayyidina Mahdi (as) is dressing them. Dressing them and blessing them. That, ‘I’m going to complete these lights and favor upon your soul. Until my physicality arrives, you will be dressed from those lights, blessed from those lights. That you will be Mahdiyoon amongst the Muhammadan community.’ It means they represent the lights of guidance, they represent the lights of the Kawthar. They represent the lights of all these realities.
108th Holy Name of Prophet ﷺ – Abut Tayyeb ﷺ – Dresses the 12th Month
That 12th month when it enters in, that’s the name of Prophet ﷺ, is Abut Tayyeb ﷺ- the Father of All Goodness. They call it the Father of Fragrance which from the hadith of Prophet ﷺ that, ‘Allah (AJ) made dear for me its Tayyeb, its cleanliness.‘ That you equate cleanliness to good fragrance but it is much deeper than good fragrance. It is a cleanliness that’s so clean within the heart, that every beatific fragrance begins to manifest from it. That awliyaullah they can smell from the smell of the heart, not only the exterior. Because if your interior smells good, most definitely you would be fragrancing your outside character.
Tayyeb is the Reality of all Du’as (Supplication)
Because Prophet ﷺ loved ‘attars (oil based perfume) and fragrance and cleanliness. But much more deeper. When Sayyidina Abut Tayyeb ﷺ is teaching that ‘I love the cleanliness, the perfected character, ‘ and trained all the Companions in their perfection of character. That when your character is so good and your inner reality is so pure, you release a tremendous fragrance in Divinely Presence. The Tayyeb is the reality of all du’a.
We said before that the du’a of the moving tongue and flapping lips is of what value? When Allah (AJ) says that, ‘On the Day of Judgement I’m going to seal your mouth.’
(٦٥) الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلَىٰ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَتُكَلِّمُنَا أَيْدِيهِمْ وَتَشْهَدُ أَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
36:65 – “Al yawma nakhtimu ‘ala afwahehim wa tukallimunaa aydeehim wa tashhadu arjuluhum bima kanoo yaksiboon.” (Surat YaSeen)
“That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.” (YaSeen, 36:65)
Because everybody has heard enough, everybody has heard all the lips that move but the heart does something different. The lips that move and they memorize 20, 30, 40 minutes of du’a. But the character is rotten and the heart must be dark and smelly. For what then, all the lips moving? It is not the real.
The Fragrance of Heart Reaches the Divinely Presence, Not the Words
The real in the world of light there has no tongue. In the world of light there is fragrance and light and energy. When it is beatific energy it means malayika are all around that light. When it is a beatific energy your heart is like a bakhoor (incense). Because it is ethereal, it is a gaseous reality. As soon as it enters into a love it is like a burning and you feel yourself heated. They have the ability to heat the whole room. Outside it is freezing, inside here it is like we are being cooked. As soon as you enter into the state of cooking where you’re heating up, means your soul is releasing a fragrance.
That fragrance hits that fire and the angels are picking up that fragrance. They don’t need anything to be said by your lips, don’t need anything to be imagined by the mind. But they’re picking up the fragrance of the reality. That fragrance is what is delivered to Divinely Presence. Otherwise people can manage all their lives or memorize many things through their tongue. But of their heart is nothing. So, the reality is that Allah (AJ) says that ‘I do not look towards your form, I don’t look to the surah (face). What I’m looking to is the heart of My believer.’
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْن صَخْرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ:” إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَجْسَامِكُمْ، وَلَا إِلَى صُورِكُمْ، وَلَكِنَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ”. رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ
‘An Abi Hurairah ‘Abdir Rahman bin Sakhar (ra) qala: qala Rasulullahi (saws):
“Inna Allaha la yanzuru ila ajsamikum, wa la ila suwarikum, wa laaken yanzuru ila Quloobukum.” [Rawahu Muslim]
Abu Hurairah (ra) narrated that: Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “Allah does not look at your body/figures, nor at your appearance/frame but He looks at your hearts.” [Recorded in Muslim]
Perfecting the Character Through Divine Fire
So Sayyidina Abut Tayyeb ﷺ is teaching then that this whole 12 months, when Imam Mahdi (as) gives from his family inheritance, he is perfuming and perfecting the character. That all of these 12 months, all of your jumping around and crazy character was to show, ‘You see this? Take it out!’ When you cook the Kalle pache (Head and trotters of sheep) what do you see? When you cook the head you see all the worms. Because as soon as you put a fire, all the garbage comes out. It is like a boiling pot, when you boil something all the garbage comes out.
The 12 months was to identify the bad character. Every time you get angry at what they say and what they order and what they do is to show you that there is some more worms. Either you get rid of the worms now and become from Ahlul Wadood (People of The Most Loving), if not you’re just a dood. The dood is a worm and those worms will be eating you in the grave. Would you like to get rid of them now or they are going to be feasting on you in the box. Awliyaullah, their flesh is forbidden to be eaten why? Because they’re Ahlul Wadood, what they’re going to eat? Those worms all burned away. Within their box is only love and fragrance. Allah (AJ) allows nothing from creation to eat it.
Sayyidina Abut Tayyeb ﷺ Teaches to Fragrance Our Inner Reality
So it means then Abut Tayyeb ﷺ is teaching for us that fragrance yourself! Your inner reality to be perfected, your inner character to be perfected. Your breath to be perfected, your lungs to be perfected, your liver to be perfected. All 11 organs to be perfected. All powered by your most powerful organ which is your heart, and all of them will be nourished from your light. Upon your face will be like a shining moon, where they said that, ‘We could see on a dark night wherever Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ was walking,’ like a lantern for them. Sahabi would walk behind. Because they could see because it was illuminating and showing that the physicality to be so purified it illuminates everything.
Mercy and Wisdom of Qurban (Offering)
That was the 12 months of journey and that’s what Sayyidina Mahdi (as) is bestowing upon the believers, that, ‘Come and make a tremendous sacrifice.’ That qurban that you give, it takes all the burdens and bad characteristic away. Take all of that away, and that animal carries that burden. Now what you see on Facebook and social media is horrific abuse of animals. I would imagine a bunch of crazy jahils (ignorant) doing animal sacrifice to show like they celebrated Eid and they did their qurban. If you watch it is completely out of Shari’ah (Divine Law). It is an abuse to the animals. It is a degradation to their reality.
That they are sacrificing themselves for Bani Adam (children of Adam (as)). Because they say that, ‘Allah (AJ) wants you to achieve. Allah (AJ) wants and loves you and we are willing to sacrifice ourselves for you. Allah (AJ) will grant us a reality we don’t understand. We will be granted our mi’raj (ascension) by you sacrificing.’ But you sacrifice the creature with dignity and respect. There is no need to post that. There is no need to post the image of degrading them and blood splattering everywhere and making their sacrifice to be a humiliation. That’s not a qurban that is accepted, these are not characters that are accepted. That means that the nation becomes wahshi, becomes wild in the last days, and this is not what Prophet ﷺ brought. When people watch it they’re astonished, they say what a bunch of crazy people, how are they doing these things?
Honor the Sacrifice of Qurban
That qurban is sacred and something that should not be filmed. Constantly asking its forgiveness for anything wrong and, ‘You’re about to suffer, forgive me. Because you are about to send your energy to Allah (AJ). If you have a complaint it is going to be registered directly upon me.’ That instant it is going to go, but it is going somewhere that energy, the angels will know what it felt.
They will save that feeling that it felt and deliver it to you in the grave. That, ‘You abused this, no problem. It wants to take its right from you.’ Says: ‘That this creature of Yours was stabbing me and slaughtering me. It was horrific, I want to take my right from that creature.’ They save the energy and the thought of that and save it for your grave. Say, ‘Now in the grave feel what you did.. Experience what it experienced from your hands.’
The Power of Al Jabbar (The Compeller) in Spiritual Purification
It means that Prophet ﷺ didn’t bring these things like this. Everything that they are teaching for us is the excellence of character. That when you know with what type of burden it is going to be taking from us. Allah (AJ) put all that burden into the qurban and says, ‘It was a tremendous ransom.’
(١٠٧) وَفَدَيْنَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
37:107 – “Wa fadainaahu bizibhin ‘azeem” (Surat As-Saffat)
“And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice” (Those Who Set the Ranks, 37:107)
‘I’m taking all of that badness, making you like you’ve been born new.’ The Ahlul Bayt and Ashab un Nabi ﷺ (holy companions of Prophet (s)) come perfect the character. The Ahlul Bayt give the inheritance and guidance of the soul. Guidance of all realities and perfect that character. Under the sifat (attribute) of Allah (AJ) Al Jabbar that the 108 adds back to 9 [1+0+8=9]. The 9th name of Allah (AJ) – Al Jabbar. That Allah (AJ) Jabaroot (Supreme Might and Power) nothing can escape it. What Allah (AJ) wants to bestow nothing can escape it. What Allah (AJ) doesn’t want to bestow nothing can bring it.
Allah (AJ) Jabaroot – “Ya Rabbil ‘Izzati wal ‘Azhamati wal Jabaroot,” means that the Will and the Force of Allah (AJ) is dressing that name. What Prophet’s ﷺ name of fragrance means, to perfect the character.
يَا رَبِّ الْعِزَةِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ وَالْجَبَرُوتْ.
“Ya Rabbil ‘Izzati wal ‘Azhamati wal Jabaroot.”
“O Lord of Honor and Might and Magnificence, Imposer of Thy Will.”
If Allah (AJ) wills the character to be perfected it will reach its guidance. It will reach what Allah (AJ) want it to reach. Because if Allah (AJ) wants that soul to be purified, that body to be purified, nothing can stop it from reaching what Allah (AJ) wants.
Surat Al-Kawthar and the Secret of Intercession
The surah that we said is Surat Al-Kawthar, the 108th surah. The hijab (veil) in which Prophet ﷺ was eternally dressed by these 12 hijabs. That Allah (AJ) is eternally dressing the soul and the arwah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. On this 12th hijab Allah (AJ) is dressing the attribute of intercession for Prophet ﷺ. This is the hijab of intercession on the 12th month in which Prophet ﷺ is interceding. We begin to have tafakkur and contemplate how much Prophet ﷺ is interceding that, ‘Ya Rabbi I want my nation to reach, they’re not reaching.’ Then Allah (AJ) says, ‘They will reach, don’t worry. Make them to give the qurban. I’ll put all of their year’s character in that qurban and they will become like new.’
Every day is a Hajj (pilgrimage). Every salah (daily prayer) is a Hajj to the Holy Ka’bah. Every movement is a Hajj to the Ka’bah. It is not only the people who buy the expensive ticket that inshaAllah we all can do one day. But at every salah is a hijrah to Allah (AJ). Every salah is Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest) and you’re in the presence of the Holy Ka’bah. It means that every moment Allah (AJ) is dressing us and Prophet ﷺ is praying for us. Hijab of intercession and the zikr (Divine remembrance) of “Subhana Rabbi al-‘Azhim, Subhana Rabbi al-‘Azhim” that the Lord Most Sublime.
Completion of Allah’s (AJ) Amr – Ahlul Bayt and the Secret of Sacrifice
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us from those realities, bless us from those realities and to be from Ahlul Kawthar. They teach that as that Hajj is coming to an end in which Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) was to sacrifice. The fear that Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) had of sacrifice, the Ahlul Bayt will step in and they will show Sayyidina Ibrahim that, ‘We sacrifice and there is no qurban, there is no qurban, for us.’ Imam Hussain (as) comes and teaches that the entering of Muharram is the completion of Allah’s (AJ) amr (command). What Allah (AJ) wanted and what Sayyidina Ibrahim didn’t complete the Ahlul Baytin Nabi (Holy Family of the Prophet (pbuh)) will complete and all Ashab an Nabi ﷺ. The first of the Khulafa e Rashidin (The Rightly Guided Representatives), also all of them were martyred for the love of Prophet ﷺ.
They come and they begin to teach, no, no. Where there was a sacrifice when we enter into Muharram, these are the ones that there was no qurban for them. They sacrificed – Amr Al Jabbar. It means they took the amr of Allah (AJ) Sifat Al Jabbar that Allah (AJ) is not going to change that command. They have the dress of Ayatus Sabr (the sign of patience). That they are patient in what Allah (AJ) has ordered for them and they sacrifice themselves. Sayyid ush Shuhada (the leader of the martyrs) and the reality of sacrifice is Muharram. For, ‘There was no lamb for me.’
Ahlul Kawthar are The Custodians of Divine Abundance
72 family members of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and companions of Imam Hussain (as) sacrificed themselves for the love of Allah (AJ). They are the reality of the Kawthar, “Fasali li rabbika wanhar. Inna shani-aka huwal abtar – and We cut everything off that’s coming towards you because you are from Ahl ul Kawthar.”
(٣) إِنَّا أَعْطَيْنَاكَ الْكَوْثَرَ ﴿١﴾ فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَانْحَرْ ﴿٢﴾ إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ
108:1-3 – “Inna ‘atayna kal kawthar. (1) Fasali li rabbika wanhar. (2) Inna shani-aka huwal abtar. (3)” (Surat Al-Kawthar)
“To thee (O Muhammad) we have granted the Fount (of Abundance). (1) So pray to your Lord and Sacrifice. (2) Indeed, your enemy is the one cut off. (3)” (The Abundance, 108:1-3)
Allah (AJ) describes, ‘We have given you kathiran, I’ve given you so much abundance.’ It can’t be imagined what they are – the custodians of what realities, what fountains, what dresses, what barakah! Allah (AJ) says, ‘Everything else been cut off from you. That there is no fear, there is no shaitan (satan) there is nothing that can come to you. Because I am with you. You have completed your ‘ahd (covenant), you have completed your life, you have completed your faith.’ We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us from Ahlul Kawthar, that we drink from their hands and take from their hearts.
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.
