Reality of Jinn, Angels, and Divine Breath Within Man: Insan as the Balancing Scale (Mizan) Q&A
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)
Question 1: How do we know if we learned our first name? A name came to me while I was praying and my brother called me the same name the same day. It is strangely fitting.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirhamadi: Alhamdulillah write it down. Just write it down and keep it for yourself. Keep it written down in a book for yourself to understand yourself, ‘This section of the book is for me to know myself. What are my characters, what are my bad characters? How am I coming against those bad characteristics? Then this is possibly a name that’s of importance to me.’ and keep making your meditation and tafakkur (contemplation) and ask for more understanding on it, inshaAllah.
Question 2: Sayyidi how exactly to make intention to do mawlid (celebration of the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ) with intention of Shaykh Abdullah Faiz ad-Daghestani (Q) as you mentioned yesterday? How exactly to do that for a beginner?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirhamadi: Yeah, again there is no exact. It is exactly what we taught. So any Naqshbandi who understood and just heard what we said. That from the reality Shaykh Abdullah Faiz ad-Daghestani (Q) make intention to do Mawlidun Nabi ﷺ. You just recite that, ‘Ya Rabbi I’m making intention for Mawlidun Nabi ﷺ under the order of Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah Faiz ad-Daghestani (Q), Sultanul Awliya (King of Saints) Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Haqqani (Q) and all mashayikh (spiritual guides) of the tariqah (spiritual path) and we’re making mawlid.
But that was not only you make the mawlid but attend the shaykh’s mawlid. That’s why three days a week the mawlid is being broadcast. So three days a week with the shaykh’s connection – is making intention under that intention. So that’s to show then the importance of the power of that mehfil (association) that’s going out and what type of dress and barakah (blessing) is dressing that association.
Then when they make the mawlids in person then alhamdulillah it is attendance through the broadcast and through physicality is an immense blessing. When they’re traveling and going around and people say, ‘I’m busy right now I can’t you know host a mawlid.’ They don’t understand what that was that they turned down. So, that’s for the understanding of the teachings and when somebody else is watching and having the broadcast in their home alhamdulillah.
If they want to have a mawlid at their home with their children and relatives alhamdulillah. But that one they’re less interested in teaching about. Because any time you open your home to an association and your shaykh is not there, you’re opening your house to an abode of fitna (confusion). Because we’re thirty years into this game. We understand what happens. As soon as you open your house and you know five people come. Or maybe ten people come, oh somebody is going to show up and he is going to want to teach. He is going to want to talk, he is going to want to redirect everybody in a different direction. Then you have a lot of problems on how to control that.
That’s why the easiest association – just you put your children and loved ones where you just play the mawlid. Recite some of the mawlids that you want and no problem. The easiest is then just turn on the live and attend the majlis (association) live. But once you do something and few people show up in days of where is there is no mask. Before you know it somebody would try to speak and somebody would try to sort of hijack the association. then it becomes a direct different issue and different difficulty inshaAllah.
Question 3: If we are having difficulty with our health and it stops us from doing meditation, what can we do to overcome this and keep doing what is needed for the soul?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirhamadi: Yeah, I think you have to email us at [email protected]. Because I can’t think of anything off-hand that would stop you from meditation because it is the least amount of activity.
You’re just sitting connecting your heart and if you’re not healthy you’re probably sitting all the time. So, it is a matter of using that time and the effort that you have into connecting your heart. Doing your zikr (Divine remembrance), and learning how to do your khafi zikr – silent zikr and asking for an energy and support. That’s even beneficial for your health and to improve the energy that coming upon the body to assist it in its healing inshaAllah. But if it is specifically something in your health then you have to email and we try to figure that out at that time inshaAllah.
Question 4: What is the importance of water? What is the reality behind feeling tremendous energy and faiz (downpouring emanation) after drinking water sometimes?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Alhamdulillah yeah lot of blessings on water that Allah (AJ) on mai (water) – Say: ‘My Throne is upon the water.’ It is an angelic reality of a stable energy and has a tremendous Might and ‘Izzah in that reality.
وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۗ
11:7 – “Wa huwal ladhee khalaqas samawati wal arda fee sittati ayyamin, wa kana ‘arshuhu ‘alal ma ye liyabluwakum ayyukum ahsanu ‘amalan, …” (Surat Hud)
“And it is He who created the heavens and the earth in six days – and His Throne had been upon water – that He might test you as to which of you is best in deed…”(Holy Quran)
Mai is meem and alif. That Allah (AJ) described that, ‘My Throne is upon this mai.’ So it means that there must be an immense power and immense reality in water. When water comes into insan (mankind) it is an angelic force. If they do it with recitations and with making their prayers, it is an angelic force that comes within their body. Their meditation again then is geared towards why the meditation and all the practices of meditation? It is then to understand that 70 percent of your body is water.
So, when you’re doing your meditation, doing your zikr, you’re changing the power of that water within your being. So that shaitan (satan) doesn’t hijack that blood. That your zikr and your energy begin to energize that blood. Then that becomes the energy that’s going to the heart. From the heart go to the breath, from the breath goes to all of the organs. It means everything going to be dressed by the reality of that blood and the condition and the purity of the heart. So, it plays an immense importance in the reality of insan.
The water on the outside has an angelic force in which to burn away shayateen (devils) on the outside. Once they understood that and brought the water inside then they have the ability to burn the shaitan on the inside. Because their purity of their water, their du’a (supplication) upon the water it comes in with a Divine fire in which to burn away shayateen. Then their zikr and their meditation energizes all of their blood again which is 70 percent water of their body. So, again all of that is the inner reality of how to make wudu (ablution) and how to cleanse and how to bring that energy out. So, inshaAllah it has a deep reality from our elements. Water has an immense importance.
Then we have our earthly element and the importance of that earth. We have the air and the breath that Allah (AJ) gave to us and our fiery nature. So, understanding these elements then is important in tariqah and the way towards ma’rifah (Gnosticism). That’s why you can put out fire with earth and with water. That’s why Prophet ﷺ brought for us wudu or tayammum (act of dry ablution). Because the clean soil, sand or the mohr (Prostration Clay Tablet) that we use for our practices – that clean soil and sand you can make wudu. The clay and the sand burns away the shayateen, stops the fire of shaitan. As well as the power that Allah (AJ) put within mai and the mai pulls away that.
So, when they balance their earthly reality. They understood on how to ignite the water of their reality they’re able to contain the fire that is coming upon them. Not to be narani – not to be fiery and angry. Beause these are the things that bring down your fire. As a result of controlling their fire reality then Allah (AJ) gives power to their breath. Because then when they’re breathing and they have control of their physical energy, they have control of the water within their reality. Allah (AJ) then ignites their breathing with a Divine Nafas ur Rahmah (the Breath of Mercy). Their breath becomes of a Divine qudra and power as they’re breathing. That becomes the great mizan – the scale that is able to balance.
Insan is the great scale of Allah (AJ) that their clay they can balance with their clay the fire and the water of their reality. So their clay form can balance that. Where Allah (AJ) when He made the jinn (unseen beings). The jinn thought they were very powerful and shaitan came against this (Adamic) creation. He lacked the understanding of what type of reality Allah (AJ) would put into this clay form. That it wasn’t just clay that you can come and go out of it. But it was a mizan and a scale because only the clay had an element in which to hold water. Because as soon as you put water on clay angelic things grow. That’s why when you put water on soil flowers and things come to life.
So, as soon as water touches this creation everything comes to life with them. At the same time because of that creation it can also contain the fire of shaitan and the jinn element within insan. That he didn’t understand because his nature was just fire. He can’t take water because water will extinguish him. So, the great creation of Allah (AJ) is insan that if they reach towards that mizan and the scale. Where they hold fire in one hand and hold water in another hand Allah (AJ) would breathe onto him from His Spirit. In which they are far more powerful than these shaitans and these jinn, and shaitan couldn’t see that. Because they have then jinn element within them, they have angelic elements within them and they have the breath of Allah (AJ) inshaAllah.
Question 5: I will be working with the mentally ill as part of my job. What is the easiest way for me to protect myself from negative energies and entities.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: That’s a difficult job especially in difficult times. Because there is too many people with very, very negative energies attacking them. If can you visualize an energy is like wound up too much. You take a rubber band and wind it a thousand times, it is about to snap and as soon as you let it go ‘wrrwrrrr’ and start twirling.
The energy on people is like that they are so wound up – so much in difficulty that when you’re near them that energy will reflect onto the people. So, psychiatrists, psychologists they have the highest suicide rate because they don’t understand energy. When they’re dealing with these energies they’re going home and killing themselves. Because they don’t understand how energy dress them, depression dress them, anxiety dress them. All of these characteristics that is upon that servant is dressing that one trying to heal them.
So, the tariqah comes and teaches: One – you have to be very careful. Two – you have to keep a certain amount of distance always. Then your energy practices – you have to keep your wudu, have to keep your ta’weez (prayer of protection), have to keep your salah (prayers). You’ve to keep all your practices and definitely when you go home, you wash. So that to wash away any type of negativity that has come upon you. Make a strong, strong connection with the shaykh so that you have a faiz and an energy sort of dressing upon the servant inshaAllah.
Question 6: What is the significance of the 15th of Ramadan with regards to the awliya (saints)?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirhamadi: 15th of Ramadan inshaAllah the birthday of Imam al-Hassan Ibn Ali Abu Muhammad al Mujtaba (as). That we talked from just sifat ar-Rahman (Attribute of the Most Compassionate). When Allah (AJ) creating these lights and the reality of all lights in the form of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is “qurratol ‘aini, Jaddal Hassan wal Hussaini.”
أَسْيَادِي الْحَسَّنْ وَالْحُسَّيْنِ النَّبِيْ قُرَّةُ العَيْنِ
وَيَا شَبَابَ الْجَنَتَيْنِ جَدُّكُمْ صَاحِبُ الْقُرْآنَ
Asyadil Hassan wal Hussaini Ilan Nabi qurrato ‘aini
Ya shabaa bal janna’taini Jaddukum saahibul Qur’ana
Our Masters, Imam Hassan (as) and Imam Hussain (as),
They are the coolness of Prophet’s (pbuh) eyes.
O the Youth of the Paradises,
Your Grandfather (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) is the owner of the holy Qur’an
That the beatific light that makes the eyes of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ one of them is the light of Imam al-Hassan (as). Allah (AJ) ressed that light with the sifat of ar-Rahman. So, imagine all the realities of sifat ar-Rahman and that is a dress on the light of the soul of Imam al-Hassan (as). That’s why Allah (AJ) implored us to have and ask for “Fid dunya hasanat.”
﴾وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ ﴿٢٠١
2:201 – “Wa minhum mai yaqoolu rabbanaaa aatina fid dunyaa hasanatawn wa fil aakhirati hasanatanw wa qinaa azaaban Naar.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)
“Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (The Cow, 2:201)
When we ask “Fid dunya hasanat” means then we want from this light of sifat ar-Rahman. We want from the light of Prophet ﷺ and the light of Imam al-Hassan (as). That Prophet ﷺ has partitioned of him his reality of Insan al Kamil (The Universal Perfect Being) to the reality of his grandchild Imam al-Hassan (as). That is of an immense reality of that dress, that light, that blessing. That Allah (AJ) perfect our light in dunya (material world). The other eye for Imam al-Hussain (as) under sifat ar-Raheem (Attribute of the Most Merciful) Allah (AJ) gave the secret. When say, ‘Ya Rahman’ – by the Haqq (truth) and the reality of what ar-Rahman is dressing in the reality of Imam al-Hassan’s (as) soul that Allah (AJ) had Created.
Allah (AJ) created these anciently. That’s why the malakut (heavenly realm) to dunya people doesn’t make sense. They think that something in dunya then Allah (AJ) will name it. Allah (AJ) created it before He made the form. In the world of light when Allah (AJ) established what this light would be all of these realities were already established. Allah (AJ) named them based on what the secret of it is supposed to be. Then later when it came to earth then people were made aware and certain people were made aware of the physical reality of these creation that Allah (AJ) has made. Which again is immense, ‘Ya hanan, Ya hanan’ when we’re singing ‘Ya hanan… Ya hanana, Ya hanana zuhoor Nabi Ahmad.’
ظَهَرَ الدِّينُ الْمُؤَيَّدْ بِظُهُورِ النَّبِي اَحْمَدْ
يَا هَنَانَا بِمُحَمَّدْ ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ الله
يَا هَنَانَا يَا هَنَانَا
Zahar ad-dīn ul-mu’ayyad
Bi zuhūrin Nabī Ahmad
Ya Hanānā bi Muhammad
Dhalik al-fadlu minAllāh
The eternal religion was revealed, With the arrival of the Prophet Ahmad ﷺ. O our bliss because of Muhammad ﷺ, That is the grace from Allāh. O our joy, O our joy!
So means how these awliyaullah (saints) are singing these that ‘Ya hanana’ it means ‘everybody be happy, everybody be happy.’ Because you don’t understand what this means when Allah (AJ) sent the zuhoor and the presence of Nabi Ahmad ﷺ. From that reality of the ocean of souls that we have no understanding what Allah (AJ) sent into this physical world called ‘Muhammad ﷺ.’
So their na’ats (songs of praise) are all about the reality of these salawats (Praises upon Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)). All of these are immense reality that ‘People be happy, be happy.’ Because Allah (AJ) sent an immense reality upon this earth on a form that we know as Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Who fis samayi (in heavens) is Nabi Ahmad ﷺ. So, that’s immense. That, that immense light they were astonished that is going to be sent onto this earth. So, all of these are just immense realities from the world of malakut – the world of lights inshaAllah.
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa ﷺ wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
