Secret Societies Want to Replicate the Powerful Kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as)

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

 

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ٱلْرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيم

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)

Efface Yourself and Be Nothing to Reach Towards Allah’s (AJ) Grace and Mercy

To admit our weakness and our nothingness so that a Divine support to reach, inshaAllah. From Mawlana Shaykh’s (Q) teachings, what has been taught on how to conduct oneself to reach towards the rahmah (mercy) and the grace of Allah (AJ) is to efface and to be nothing. Alhamdulillah, in this holy month, the holy surah (chapter) is the 27th surah of Holy Qur’an dressing this reality of Shamsul ‘Arifeen (Sun of Knowers).

This gnostic reality, shams being the sun, the ‘Sun of Knowers’ and gnosticism and its importance. Its importance in the way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) in the way into the heart of the Divinely Presence that is not on heaven and not on Earth, but within the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

عَنْ وَهَبِ بِنْ مُنَبِّهْ، قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” مَا وَسِعَنِيْ لَا سَمَائِيْ وَلَا اَرْضِيْ وَلَكِنْ وَسِعَنِيْ قَلْبِ عَبْدِيْ اَلْمُؤْمِنْ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلْغَزَالِي فِي اَلْإحْيَاء، وَ اِبنِ عَرَبِي فِي اَلْتَرَاجِمْ، صفحه ٢٢٤]

‘An Wahab ibn Munabbeh, Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Maa wasi’anee laa samayee, wa la ardee, laakin wasi’anee qalbi ‘Abdi al Mu’min.” [Hadith al Qudsi, Al Ghazali fi al Ihyaa, wa Ibn ‘Arabi fi al Tarajim, Safha 224]

Narrated by Wahab the son of Munabbeh that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “Neither My Heavens nor My Earth can contain Me, but the heart of my Believing Servant.”

Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) Acquired Abilities From Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

The heart of the Divinely Presence and reaching into that heart and its realities and its dress and its blessings upon our soul. That, alhamdulillah, the Holy Qur’an is dressing us from its infinite blessings and its dressings. That we reach towards verse 16, 17 and entering in now to the stories of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). Because of the humility of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that gives the understanding of the kingdom of God from the example of the prophets of the Divine.

وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ ۖ وَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ ﴿١٧﴾ وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

27:16-17 – “Wa warisa Sulaimaanu Daawooda wa qaala yaaa aiyuhan naasu ‘ullimnaa mantiqat tairi wa ooteenaa min kulli shai’in inna haazaa lahuwal fadlul Mubeen (16) Wa hushira Sulaimaana junooduhoo minal jinni wal insi wattairi fahum yooza’oon (17).” (Surat An-Naml)

“And Solomon was David’s heir/inheritor. And he said: “O people! We have been taught the  language of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed clear blessing/favour (from Him.) (16) And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks. (17)” (The Ant, 27:16-17)  

Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is Extremely Humble and of a Magnificent Character (Holy Qur’an, 68:4)

That when we want to understand because Prophet ﷺ is of an extremely humble nature; not to show himself as anything, not to show his kingdom on this Earth. Allah (AJ), “khuluqin ‘azheem,” describes, ‘You are of a magnificent character’ and ‘I’ll describe about and Sayyidina Sulaiman (as).’

﴾وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَىٰ خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ ﴿٤

68:4 – “Wa innaka la’ala khuluqin ‘azheem.” (Surat Al-Qalam)

“Truly, You (O Muhammad!) are of a magnificent character.” (The Pen, 68:4)

Secret Societies Want to Replicate the Powerful Kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as)

The kingdom of Sulaiman (as) is an immensely important understanding upon this Earth, for all of shaitans (satans) are running after it. All their thought of Illuminatis and Illuminations is the kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as). They want it. They want to replicate it. They want its powers and they want to be master builders. They want the command of the shayateen (devils) and the ifrit (powerful demon).

Shaitan plays with them to make their deeds seem fair and good to them; make them to feel that they are achieving a power. They are achieving some connection to what they believe to be that source of power and that reality. So, it’s an immense importance especially in last days when their group of people and their understanding are trying so hard to command the Earth. That they want to influence the Earth. They have summoned many things in the hopes of achieving that power and achieving that reality. That cannot be achieved except by the heavenly kingdom of Allah (AJ).

Our Pursuit is for the Presence of the Holy Face That Never Perishes (Holy Qur’an, 28:88)

That was a sign and everything is a sign. When we say ayatul Qur’an, it’s a sign for the surah. The surah is a face. The face is that which will never perish. That WajhAllah, the Face of Allah (AJ), can never be seen. But the face of the prophetic reality because it is in the oceans of creation and that reality of that Divinely face reflecting upon the prophetic reality is our whole existence.

Our whole pursuit is for the presence of that holy face. It springs from the fountain of pre-eternal realities while everything else will perish. Allah (AJ) is giving to us, ‘Not that face,’ not that which is reflecting directly from Allah’s (AJ) Essences.

﴾كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ ۚ ﴿٨٨

28:88 – “…kullu shayin halikun illa wajha” (Surat Al-Qasas)

“…Everything (that exists) will perish except His holy Face…” (The Stories, 28:88)

Shaitan Fools Us By Giving Us of His False Power That Perishes

Everyone of heavenly realities is moving towards that ocean of reality. They wish to be dressed by that reality. All these teachings are to reach towards that Divinely secret and that which will never perish. Shaitan fools humanity and dunya (material world) and dunya desired people. That they can imitate certain actions and they will reach to that power and then they make contracts with the shayateen. Their actions are blasphemous and inspired by devils.

As a result of their blasphemous actions, the devils grant them a support from the power that they have. Their power is of a falsehood and perishing. That it’s not something that would be eternal. Alhamdulillah, those whom Allah (AJ) guides towards Divinely oceans and there are levels of guidance. This level of guidance that taught is from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. It’s what we call the Muhammadan haqqaiqs (realities) and truths.

Ask to Be Dressed and Bathed in the Holy Attributes of the Holy Face

That they are from the fountains and these springs of reality that are the seven essences of that Divinely face. As if we could understand there are springs of Divinely lights that flow from that reality. We wish to drink from them, bathe from them, to be immersed within that ocean of light. That one of them – As-Sami (The All-Hearing), Al-Basir (The All-Seeing) to… As-Sami, to hear from Divinely lights.

Allah’s (AJ) essence of Al-Sami, The One Whom Hears; Al-Basir, The One Whom Sees. This is just an example of these essences that are like for us to understand because we can’t understand in words. That you’re asking to bathe from that face in your soul, to be taken into that presence. These realities are like oceans and springs that are flowing. For, if that sifat (attribute) of Allah (AJ), that Divinely name of the All-Hearing begin to dress upon the servant, that servant will be dressed by Divinely hearing.

Your Senses Become of a Divinely Nature as You Approach Heavenly Realities

The more that they enter into that, the more they enter into that, the more they will hear from Divinely powers. When Allah (AJ) and this reality of the holy face is a Hadith al Qudsi (Holy Hadith), that, ‘When My servants, they did their obligatory worship, they’re approaching Me with voluntary actions,’ it means, ‘They’re approaching Me with love, muhabbat.’ They did what they have been commanded and they do what Allah (AJ) has commanded of them, but Allah (AJ) has inspired within them, a love and a pursuit to do more.

Then Allah’s (AJ) promise in Hadith al Qudsi, ‘I’ll be the hearing in which you hear.’ We repeat this often on this teaching platform. ‘I’ll be the seeing in which you see, I’ll be the breath in which you breathe.’ What kind of breath has Divinely power? With what power that breath comes and fuels the soul and what is the soul able to do with that breath? ‘I’ll be the breathing which you breathe. I’ll be the tongue in which you speak.’

Drink From Heavenly Fountains to Be Supported By the Hand of Allah (AJ) (Holy Qur’an, 48:10)

That the ‘uloom and the knowledges that Allah (AJ)…if you’re drinking from that fountain, Allah’s (AJ) grace and majesty blesses that tongue and its heart and its source to be a tongue from the fountains of paradise. ‘I’ll be the hands in which you touch’ because your hands will have a Divine power upon them. “Yadullah,” Allah’s (AJ) Hand upon your hand, upon the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That means your hands will be supported.

﴾إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّـهَ يَدُ اللَّـهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ ﴿١٠

48:10 – “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka innama yubayi’on Allaha yadullahi fawqa aydeehim, …” (Surat Al-Fath)

“Indeed, those who give Bayah (pledge allegiance) to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually giving Bayah (pledge allegiance) to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands…” (The Victory, 48:10)

The Heart of the Believer is the House of Allah (AJ)

‘I’ll be the feet and the feet of your movement. I’ll be the eternal qadam (foot) and the one whom directs your heart and directs your movement and your path.’ It’s not just the feet because Allah (AJ) is giving a reality of the heart. These are all happening within the heart for when Allah (AJ) begins, “Qalb al mu’min baitullah.”

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” قَلْبَ الْمُؤْمِنْ بَيْتُ الرَّب.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي]

Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “ “Qalb al mu’min baytur rabb.” [Hadith al Qudsi]

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said:“The heart of the believer is the House of the Lord.” (Holy Hadith)

Beware of Those Who See With Allah’s (AJ) Divine Light

When Allah (AJ) begin to make His home within the heart of the servant, it’s from the power of the heart that all these faculties are now empowered. When Allah (AJ) reside in within the heart, He’s dressing their hearing with Divine hearing.

When Allah (AJ) is residing within the heart dressing with Divine firasah (spiritual vision) and vision, they see what people can’t imagine. They see with a Divinely light and Prophet ﷺ described, ‘Be careful of their vision for they see with the lights of Allah (AJ)’ and each to different darajats (spiritual ranks) of what they have achieved.

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِي رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ :” اتَّقُوا فِرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ. ” [اَلتِّرْمِذِي، كتاب ٤٧، حديث ٣٤١٩]

‘An Abi Sa’yidel Khudriyi (ra) qala, qala Rasulullahi ﷺ:“Ittaqoo Firasatal Mu’min, Fa Innahu yanzoro Bi Nurillah…” [At Tirmidhi, Kitab 47, Hadith 3419]

Narrated by Sa’yidel Khudri (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Beware/be conscious of the spiritual vision of the true believer, for indeed he sees with Allah’s divinely Light.” [At Tirmidhi, Book 47, Hadith #3419]

Those Who Breathe From Oceans of Power Have Hands Supported By the Heavenly Kingdom (Holy Qur’an, 67:1)

They speak from Allah’s (AJ) Divinely grace and majesty. They breathe from these oceans of power. Their hands are supported by the heavenly kingdom, “Tabarakal ladhee biyadihil mulk” ‘Blessed be the hands whom Allah (AJ) has given this mulk and this kingdom to.’

﴾تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ ﴿١

67:1 – “Tabarakal ladhee biyadihil mulku…” (Surat Al-Mulk)

“Blessed is He in Whose hands is Dominion/kingdom…” (The Sovereignty, 67:1)

Their Feet Operate Under the Power of Their Heart to Become Rabbaniyoon

Their feet, their path, their qadam is directly under the power of their heart. That Allah (AJ) commands their feet, their movement and their tariq, their path towards that Divinely Presence so that they can reach the destiny that Allah (AJ) has written for them.

‘So much so, they become Rabbaniyoon (Lordly Souls)’ that because if Allah (AJ) dressing the senses of humanity, dressing the senses of insan (human being), a person and being, of course, they’re lordly. They’re not common. They’re of a lordly nature and that their will matches the Will of Allah (AJ). Allah (AJ) completes by saying, ‘They merely ask and it will be – kun faya koon.’

عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ:” …وَمَا تَقَرُّبِ إِلَيَّ عَبْدِيِ بِشَيْءٍ أَحُبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا اِفْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ. وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتَ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا. وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ، … “ [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – اَلمَصْدَرْ: صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ Wa maa taqarrubi ilayya ‘abdi be shayin ahubba ilayya memma iftaradhtu ‘alayhi. Wa la yazaalu ‘abdi yataqarrabu ilayya binnawafile hatta uhebbahu, fa iza ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul lazi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul lazi yubsiru behi, wa Yadahul lati yabteshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha. Wa la in sa alani la a’teyannahu, …” [Hadith al Qudsi, Sahih al Bukhari, Raqam: 6502)

Narrated by Abu Hurairah (ra) that: the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said that: Allah the Almighty said: “… My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with voluntary acts of worship so that I shall love him. When I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask (something) of Me, I would surely give it to him, …” [Holy Hadith, Authentic by al-Bukhari, # 6502]

We Have Been Honoured With the Ability to Hear With God’s Hearing

We said that this reality of manifestation, this hadith is describing the immense potential of humanity, that we have the ability to hear with God’s hearing, “Wa laqad karramna bani adam.”

﴾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)

Not the giraffe, not the baboon because they think they’re from baboons, but no, we’re from heavens. We’re not from baboons. As a result, Allah (AJ), those whom are from heaven, they have the potential to be dressed by God’s Essences, Allah’s (AJ) Essences. What a power they would have that Allah (AJ) confirms, ‘They merely ask and kun faya koon – it will be.’

﴾إِنَّمَا أَمْرُ‌هُ إِذَا أَرَ‌ادَ شَيْئًا أَن يَقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ ﴿٨٢

36:82 – “Innama AmruHu idha Arada shay an, an yaqola lahu kun faya koon.” (Surat YaSeen) 

“His Command is when He Wills/Intends a thing, He says to it, “Be,” and it is!” (YaSeen, 36:82) 

Humanity Has Lost Understanding of How Much Power It Was Given

So, this is the amazing grace and the blessings that Allah (AJ) has given to humanity if they rise to the occasion and become human. We are just talking beasts at this point. That the humanity has been lost. This is the difference of our understandings and what they teach. They want to say that we are from baboons and that we are at the height of our humanity and that we went to a moon [Shaykh winks and laughs] ‘Wink, wink.’

But awliyaullah (saints) come and teach: no, we were much more powerful when we arrived. We arrived with an immense power, immense knowledges, immense realities. Then when Adam (as), Sayyidina Adam (as) came onto this Earth, “…wa ’allama Asma a kullaha.” That Allah (AJ) said, ‘We have taught him all knowledges.’

﴾وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا ﴿٣١

2:31 – “Wa ‘allama Adamal Asma a kullaha…” (Surat Al-Baqarah) 

“And He taught Adam the names of all things…” (The Cow, 2:31) 

Your Knowledge Gives You a Station in Allah’s (AJ) Presence

His heart has access to Divinely databases that can’t be understood, above the level of angels because He [Allah (AJ)] asked the angels, ‘Do you know of this knowledge?’  They [the angels] said, ‘No, only know what You have given us of knowledge.’ ‘So, then bow down to his knowledge’ and the angels bowed down in respect.

﴾وَعَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَقَالَ أَنبِئُونِي بِأَسْمَاءِ هَـٰؤُلَاءِ إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ ﴿٣١﴾ قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ ﴿٣٢

2:31-32 – “Wa ‘allama Adamal Asma a kullaha, thumma ‘aradahum ‘alal Malaikati faqala anbioonee bi asma i haola e in kuntum sadiqeen. (31) Qalo subhanaka la ‘ilma lana illa ma ‘allamtana, innaka antal ‘Aleemul Hakeem. (32)” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“And He taught Adam the names – all of them. Then He showed them to the angels and said, “Inform Me of the names of these, if you are truthful. (31) They said, “Exalted are You; we have no knowledge except what You have taught us. Indeed, it is You who is the Knowing, the Wise.” (The Cow, 2:31-32)

That was the daleel (proof) that you have the potential of being much higher than angels. You have the potential of reaching these knowledges. It’s the knowledge that gives you a darajat (station) in Allah’s (AJ) Presence; not your praying, not your fasting, not your giving. He didn’t say, ‘I gave Adam lots of cash. He’s going to be giving lots of zakat (charity), bow down! He’s going to be a really generous creation of mine.’

Azazil Didn’t Bow Down Believing His Prayers Outweighed Sayyidina Adam’s (as) Knowledge

He said, ‘Oh, wait until this Adam prays. He’s going to pray more than all you angels. Bow down to him.’  “…‘allama Asma a kullaha – I have given him an ‘uloom (knowledges)” because the knowledge signifies the condition of the heart. ’This what I have bestowed upon him of realities. You must show a respect to it and bow down.’ Who didn’t bow down? [He] Was the one who came with his ‘amal (action), Azazil. Azazil didn’t bow down because he said, ‘I prayed a lot. Why I got to bow down to his knowledge?’

﴾وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٣٤

2:34 – “Wa idh qulna lilmalayikati osjudo li Adama fasajado illa ibleesa aba wastakbara wa kana minal kafireen.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“And [mention] when We said to the angels, ‘Bow Down/make prostration to Adam’; so they prostrated, except for Iblis. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers/who reject faith.” (The Cow, 2:34)

Teaching that these two madhabs (schools of Islamic law): one madhab that feels that their worshipness earns them a place in Allah’s (AJ) Presence, but that was the way of shaitan. He thought that he made sujood (prostration) everywhere and that he taught the angels everything. But of that knowledge Allah (AJ) bestowed: no, you don’t have it. You’re not the khalifa (representative). When Allah (AJ) asked to show that, ‘If you’re praying and your knowledge doesn’t benefit you, what is it for? Because I ask one thing from you – bow down and all you’re praying…’

Azazil Believed He Was Superior to Sayyidina Adam (as)

Azazil prayed where they say not even a hand is left. He prayed all of the Earth, all of the spaces and all into the heavens. He kept making sujood (prostration) and every step he would make sujood, at every step, he would make sujood. Heavy on ‘amal, the knowledges that gaining began to teach the angels and because of all the actions and coming heavy with actions thinking, ‘My place with Allah (AJ) is warranted. I’m…I own it. It’s mine.’

So, Allah (AJ) want to show, ‘All those actions and all your worshipness, I asked you one thing – bow down and you said no.’ He said, ‘No, I can’t bow down. I can’t a show respect to Adam. I’m better than him. I’m more powerful than him’ and then begin to teach this way.

﴾قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ ﴿١٢

7:12 – “Qaala maa mana’aka allaa tasjuda iz amartuka qaala ana khairum minhu khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen” (Surat Al A’raf)

[Allah] said, “What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?” [Satan] said, “I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay.” (The Heights)

Turuqs are Spiritual Paths Paved With Good Manners and Character

That’s why Allah (AJ) guides people to the turuqs (spiritual paths). The turuqs and the path of realities is paved with good manners and good characteristics; not that they are perfected people, but they took a path towards perfection. All these knowledges, Allah (AJ) wants to open within the heart so that the servant can hear.

First thing they’ll hear is their consciousness of right and wrong. When they’re able to understand that consciousness, Allah (AJ) will begin to inspire them of Divinely knowledges, open their eyes so they can see. You have to close your physical eyes that Allah (AJ) gave to you that are falling under the temptation of devils. When you give back what Allah (AJ) has given to you, He purifies it, cleans it and gives it back to you Divinely.

Islam is to Submit Your Will to the Divinely Will

That which somebody gives to you, you return it. You don’t steal it and run away. So, people think they got these gifts from Allah (AJ) – that’s what Islam is. What is Islam? If you make analogies for people to understand – we came on to this house and this house is filled with all sorts of goods. Everyone thinks that they’re going to come and steal what they can from the goods, put them in their pockets and run.

Allah (AJ) said, ‘I gave you these things. Where are you running?’ Islam means: I’m submitting my will to Your Divinely Will and I realize I’m merely a servant in this house. There’s nothing for me to steal. You’re not going to be able to bury me with them. So, I’m a caretaker of these realities. I enter into the house. I take what I can use and the rest is of service to Allah’s (AJ) creation. That’s what Islam is.

We are Merely Custodians to What Allah (AJ) Entrusted Us With

That they came to the understanding that my will must submit to the Will of Allah (AJ), God Almighty, and that He’s the owner of everything, Malikul Mulk (Master of the Kingdom). I owe nothing and whatever He has given to me, I’m merely a custodian and put into trust. It’s not here for me to pillage and steal and take and run. Because of that characteristic, Allah (AJ) then grants them Islam. They are now understanding submission. But you didn’t get the prize because you have to submit so much, so much, so much until you’ve been granted iman and faith.

Then faith is all the testing. It’s Allah (AJ) opens the hearing so they hear, opens their seeing because they gave back their seeing, ‘I don’t want to see all these things. I want to take a path in which I reflect often and I close my eyes from all around me and I block out everything like my grave and I ask Allah (AJ), ‘Are You pleased with me, ya Rabbi?’ I want to give back this eyesight in which that I’m not taking my direction from what my eyes see. I don’t see television and say, ‘Oh my goodness, what’s happening?’ But I get my television from the heavens.

Surrender Your Faculties for Allah (AJ) to Purify and Return Them

When we surrender our faculty, Allah (AJ) purifies it and gives it back, pure and purified. That, ‘Now I become your seeing because you’re looking through your heart to see, not the fake eyes that you have. You’re hearing with your heart to hear and not these ears’ because here, these ears hear gossip and all sorts of wasawas and whisperings. I gave back my breath and my life. You know the mouse that runs on these treadmills? These people are running…treadmills, okay, because we got to use it to lose weight, but the one whom running like they think they’re conquering the Earth. It’s really that mouse that’s going nowhere.

Does this person know they’re dying soon? We came into this world as one whom their clock already ticking. We came in dying. We didn’t come in ‘We are going forever.’ Allah (AJ) gave a ‘tink, rrrrr’ [clock starting and beginning to tick sound effect]. There’s, I think, a movie where they have time on them and they’re running, running, running just to buy time. They go work and their pay is in time, extra time, extra time. We were born into death, so Allah (AJ) say, ‘Where are you taking that?’

Use Your Breath Towards Divine Satisfaction

Then Allah (AJ) begin to power their breath. They surrendered their dunya (material world) breath that I’m not going to use this breath and all my energy, all my thing to conquer the Earth, ya Rabbi. I want to use my breath and the breathing and in Your consciousness and in the way of reaching towards your Divine rida and satisfaction so that I can understand the commands that are coming to me. Allah (AJ) take that breath and then energize it with Nafas ur Rahmah (the Breath of Mercy).

That that servant begins to breathe from their paradise. What can’t be seen and understood as if a mask from heavens occupies that servant and they breathe from an air that other people don’t breathe. That’s why people want to eat from their food, drink from their food, want them to pray upon because they’re breathing from a paradise reality.

Shaitans are in Every Breath You Take of This Dunya

You think the knowledges they have and the du’as (supplications) that Allah (AJ) has dressed them by, it’s sustained by the dirtiness of this dunya that are filled with shaitans and ifrit? Every breath you breathe, how many millions of ifrit are in that breath? There are places now, they say they can see this black, like a tar, coming down.

When they look, it’s in the air in the atmosphere of dunya. You think that that atmosphere sustains their heart for these ‘uloom, these knowledges and these realities? Or Allah (AJ) is suffice for His believer, but that is not for everybody. They didn’t reach belief.

We Use Our Hands to Conquer Dunya, But Don’t Use Them to Serve Allah (AJ)

When Allah (AJ) says, ‘I’m suffice for you. That I give you an air to breathe from your paradise reality. I give to you to hear from your paradise reality. I give for you to see from your paradise reality. I give to you a support. Your paradise reality comes with its power and supports your hand.’

That Allah’s (AJ) Hand upon the hand of that servant because they surrendered their hand from dunya (material world) and they made…what do you do with your hands?

﴾إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّـهَ يَدُ اللَّـهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ  ﴿١٠

48:10 – “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka innama yubayi’on Allaha yadullahi fawqa aydeehim, …” (Surat Al-Fath) 

“Indeed, those who give Bayah (pledge allegiance) to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually giving Bayah (pledge allegiance) to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands…” (The Victory, 48:10) 

Your rizq (sustenance) and your khidmat (service). That you day…all day long, you work for dunya to accomplish dunya, to conquer dunya. What have you done with your hands for Allah (AJ)? That you were of service to Allah (AJ) because Allah (AJ) says, ‘Those whom they gave their hands back, that…’ I never put my hand into the material world. I have to do the time because the job I have and the hours I have to make, but a greater portion of my hand and my ability should be for Allah (AJ).

You Cannot Reach Allah (AJ) Without Your Imam, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Whether I’m busy making my zikr (Divine remembrance), busy of being of service and cleaning and doing and serving and worshiping, all of those. Allah (AJ) take back the hands say, ‘I take those and I put My Hand upon your hand. It means my madad (support) is with you. That Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ must be with you to put.’ You can never have Allah (AJ) without your imam (religious leader), without the blessings of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

It’s fasiq. That is a false and incorrect understanding to cut out Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When Allah (AJ) want to dress the hand, your hand already been dressed by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. You’re ‘ashiqeen (lovers). You’re the one whom is trying to promote that love and that ishq and to be of service to those whom promoting and active in that love. It means that the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ must be upon their hands, otherwise, they can’t achieve anything in this world.

Nothing Opens for You Without Prophet’s ﷺ Hand Upon Yours

Try a normal person to try to achieve anything, it will be stopped by a thousand shaitans and make every type of difficulty. If not the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ upon that servant’s hand, nothing of those realities can open. No ability can be opened. That’s why everything opens for them miraculous. Halls that open, programs that open, cities that open because the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is upon because that was the madad (support).

That they lived their life in madad. That their shaykh’s hand is upon their hand. That hand came with the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Who comes with the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? The Hand of Allah (AJ). He says, ‘If Prophet ﷺ thinks you’re good enough and supporting your hand,’ Allah (AJ) say, ‘I’m with you’ because Allah (AJ) said what? ‘I’m with nabiyeen, siddiqeen, shuhadayi, was saliheen.’ He said, ‘This is the best of company.’

﴾وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا ﴿٦٩

4:69 – “Wa man yuti’ Allaha war Rasola faolayeka ma’al ladheena an’ama Allahu ‘alayhim minan Nabiyeena, was Siddiqeena, wash Shuhadayi, was Saliheena wa hasuna olayeka rafeeqan.” (Surat An-Nisa)

“And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger (pbuh) are in the company of those on whom Allah has bestowed His Favours/Blessings – of the Prophets, the sincere Truthful, the Martyrs/Witnesses to the truth (who testify), and the Righteous, and excellent are those as companions.” (The Women, 4:69)

Saliheen Teach You to Meditate, Shuhada are Those Whose Hearts are Opened

So, you came through the first door. You don’t go straight to the top door. You came through saliheen (the righteous). That was the Ka’bah, the four corners. How can you get Allah’s (AJ) Hand on your hand, Allah’s (AJ) Eyes on your eyes, Allah’s (AJ) Hearing on your hearing and you didn’t come through the correct door, the correct understanding? That’s why the Ka’bah has four corners.

You go to saliheen and you keep the company of saliheen. The hand of saliheen with you, and they teach you, ‘Meditate. Meditate because we are saliheen by the power of the shuhada (witnesses).’ They take you to the next corner and those ‘shuhada’ means they’re Ahlul Basirah (the people whose hearts are opened) – shuhood (witnessing).

Mushahidah Gain the Nazar of the Naqshbandiya Siddiqs

What mah…other than shuhood, it becomes…? ‘Mushahidah.’ It’s like speaking Chinese, all these words. It’s easier just to say, ‘Witnessing,’ right? So, saliheen, you have to have been in the company of saliheen. Otherwise, you didn’t get to Allah (AJ) by jumping all the way over because saliheen put their hand, they stamped you. The saliheen who are real saliheen, they taught you how to connect with shuhada. It means this one, their heart open. They’re teaching you. Then that shuhada – mushahidah, that servant whom he died before death and Allah (AJ) opened his heart.

He put his hand upon your hand. For him to have reached that station, he must be directly under the nazar (gaze) and support of siddiqeen (the truthful); either Imam Ali (as) and Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as). Naqshbandiya has both of the Siddiqs (truthfuls). That’s why it has the two nuqts (dots) for Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (as). They described Imam Jafar as-Sadiq (as) brought both of these secrets into Naqshbandiya. The two dots, the two realities were brought into Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order).

The Door of Naqshbandi Tariqah is Through Imam Ali (as) and Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as)

If other tariqahs (spiritual paths) are of a reality, Naqshbandiya is the essence of all tariqahs, The secret of all tariqahs lies within the reality of Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya because these mushahidah, these shuhada, they are taking their secret from these great Siddiqs at that corner. Imam Ali (as) dressing them, blessing them. Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as) dressing them, blessing them with the best of characteristic and both are taking that servant to nabiyeen (prophets) because that’s the door that Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is accepting.

That, ‘You came under these Sahabi (Holy companions of Prophet ﷺ). That you came under the love and training of this Sahabi.’ They have a clear access into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because if their hand on your hand, why Prophet ﷺ would not take it? If Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq’s (as) hand, he [ﷺ] said ‘This is my grandson. He gave everything in his love. He tried his best to be of sincerity. He’s continuously under my nazar, my hand with him.’

The Kingdom of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is Based on Knighthood

Imam Ali (as) comes and says, ‘My hand with him. That he is Ahlul futuwwa (People of Chivalry). That he is enrolled in the schools of chivalry.’ They are like the knights of Allah (AJ). They’re extremely powerful, but very gentle and soft. Chivalry is knighthood. The kingdom of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, the kingdom of Allah (AJ), is not a barnyard, it’s knighthood. So, Imam Ali (as) has to come and say, ‘This one is being trained in the way of knighthood, being trained in the way of being a rijal (people of maturity), how to have their good characteristics.’

Again, it’s not perfection. But when you’re wrong, you’re wrong. You acknowledge your wrongness and you try your best to have good character. Be humble. Bring yourself to be down, but uphold the way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to the best of your ability. All their practices and struggling, it’s not easy to come all the time. It’s not easy to travel to these ways. It’s not easy to participate. It’s not easy to give. It’s not easy to do any of it, but they struggle and strive in the way of Allah (AJ).

The Hand of Prophet ﷺ is the Hand of Allah (AJ) (Holy Qur’an, 48:10)

As a result, the two take the hand to the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That’s the bayah (allegiance). “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka, yubayi’on Allah” because the hand of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is what? Allah (AJ) says in Qur’an, “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka, yubayi’on Allah.” “Yadullah,” Allah (AJ is describing in Holy Qur’an, ‘The hand of Prophet ﷺ is the Hand of Allah (AJ).’

﴾إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّـهَ يَدُ اللَّـهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ ﴿١٠

48:10 – “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka innama yubayi’on Allaha yadullahi fawqa aydeehim, …” (Surat Al-Fath)

“Indeed, those who give Bayah (pledge allegiance) to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually giving Bayah (pledge allegiance) to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands…” (The Victory, 48:10)

So, who’s going to reach to that hand? So, their lives is the turuq, they went through all of this to reach so that when Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ hand upon their hand, Allah (AJ) secures the covenant that ‘My Hand is upon these hands.’ Because it’s all under the ‘Izzat (Honour) and Might, under the Will and the permission of Allah (AJ). They’re not operating as something separate.

Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) is a Reflection of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ Reality

As a result of that, of course, then they’ve been dressed with saliheen. They’ve been dressed with shuhada. They’ve been dressed with siddiqeen. Prophet ﷺ came and sweetened all their faculties and they’ve been dressed with nabiyeen. Then Allah (AJ) says, ‘If all of them dressed you, of course, I’m dressing you.’ You’re now dressed by Allah (AJ). That is the power. That is the heart. In that heart, lies all these powers and all these realities.

So, when Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) is being described, it’s a secret in that name ‘Sulaiman’ and it’s a reflection of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that was too humble to show his kingdom on Earth and didn’t want his nation to go astray. One prophet (as) showed how he raises the dead and his people worshipped him. [Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ] Said, ‘It’s not good to be for my people. We keep the way of humility and I’m “Ana bashar mithluna.” I’m a human like you’ to show no difference, and that’s what chivalry is.

(٦) …قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ 

41:6 – “Qul innamaaa ana basharum mislukum…” (Surat Fussilat) 

Say, O [Muhammad], “I am only a man like you… (Explained in Detail, 41:6) 

Allah (AJ) Gave Each Prophet an Order and Rank (Holy Qur’an, 27:17)

That they are very different, but they don’t show that. You look at them, say, ‘This no one, don’t even pronounce things correctly.’ This is the way of humility; to be nothing, to be nothing so that to be dressed by these realities.

So, that when they have that reality, that’s the kingdom that is in pursuit. That’s the kingdom that has that authority within their heart. The kingdom of Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) and what he was showing of, ‘I have command of the birds. I have command of the ifrit and the jinn (unseen beings) and I have command of humans.’ Allah (AJ) described that, ‘They were all in ranks’ to show what type of power.

﴾وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ ﴿١٧

27:17 – “Wa hushira Sulaimaana junooduhoo minal jinni wal insi wattairi fahum yooza’oon.” (Surat An-Naml)

“And before Solomon were marshalled his hosts,- of Jinns and men and birds, and they were all kept in order and ranks.” (The Ant, 27:17)

Sayyidina Sulaiman (as) was Given a Sunnah Ring From Prophet’s ﷺ Kingdom

[He] Got that command by the request of a sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) ring. He didn’t have that power. He was overtaken by the jinn as they were attacking his kingdom. They killed his wife and he begged for Allah (AJ) that, ‘Send me a mulk that You haven’t sent before and send me to be more wealthier than them and those who are in need.’ It means, ‘Give me a mulk and power so that I can be of support and help.’

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي (١٩)عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ ‎ 

27:19 – Fatabassama daahikam min qawlihaa wa qaala Rabbi awzi’nee an ashkura ni’mata… (Surat Al-Naml) 

So he smiled, amused at her (ant’s) speech; and he said: “O my Lord! So order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours… (The Ant, 27:19)  

Allah (AJ) sent him a ring from the kingdom of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Everything given to the prophets of Allah (AJ) was under the risalat (prophecy) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and was the noble sunnah. Every Prophet of Allah (AJ) was begging for something from Prophet ﷺ. He gave him the ring, ‘Lord of the Ring’ [Shaykh laughs]. How Allah (AJ) is directing because we said all of this was to reach the Hand, right?

The Muhammadan Light Within You is What Attracts Others

You went from the saliheen, you went from shuhada, you went to siddiqeen so that your hand would be blessed by nabiyeen. When Prophet ﷺ takes your hand, Allah’s (AJ) Hand is on, on and igniting that hand with power. That ring seals that love. You know that that ring is coming from them and say that, ‘We love you. Your allegiance with Us.’ “Minni wa minhum,” you are from me and people will see you through me.’

“Minni wa minhum,” that you’re from the Muhammadan light. When people look to you, they will see me. They will see the Muhammadan light and that’s what they’re attracted to; not that person, but the light that reflects within them. That is the reality of the Solomon kingdom. That is the command of all this Earth and the heavens.

Shaitan is in False Pursuit of the Reality of Sayyidina Sulaiman’s (as) Kingdom

That when they could hear the birds and command the birds, could command the ifrit, could command all of these realities, that’s what shaitan is in pursuit of that reality. They imitate that reality to try to show they have some authority, but they’re using shayateen. It’s not an authority and it’s every falsehood. What Allah (AJ) describes of falsehood? That, ‘Verily, falsehood is perishing.’

﴾وَ قُلْ جَآءَالْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَطِلُ، إِنَّ الْبَطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا ﴿٨١

17:81 – “Wa qul jaa alhaqqu wa zahaqal baatil, innal batila kana zahoqa.” (Surat Al-Isra)

“And say, Truth has come, and falsehood has perished. Indeed falsehood, [by its nature], is ever perishing/bound to perish.” (The Night Journey, 17:81)

Everything and every false thing has a time. When the time comes, it should be “Zahoqan.” It should be completely obliterated. We pray that Allah (AJ) give us a life in which to see that time and that reality and that the kingdom of Allah (AJ) to begin to be activated upon this Earth and to take away every type of fasiq and badness and harm and evilness.

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.

Celebrate Milad un Nabi ﷺ With Your Sincere Love of Prophet ﷺ

Shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger). Ameen. What you got? Today is, inshaAllah, Thursday. Alhamdulillah, we have our immensely exciting and blessed Mawlid un Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ) for us on Friday we have the hall, we have a big Jashne Eid Milad un Nabi ﷺ and then Saturday and Sunday, we’ll be doing again here. I think the actual 12th will be on Monday, inshaAllah.

InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) dress is with these immense lights and blessings and every night of it to be a celebration in paradises. Allah (AJ) include us in those lights and in those blessings; not by our ‘amal and actions that we warranted, but by our love within our heart and acknowledging our weaknesses and continuously falling short from what Allah (AJ) wanted for us.

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.
