Souls of Lovers of Prophet ﷺ in Heart of Prophet ﷺ

From the Realities of Mawlana Shaykh (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
Audhu Billahi min ash 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.
Always in the Khatm Khwajagan zikr (Divine remembrance), they ask Allah (AJ) to keep us in the presence of Prophet ﷺ, in the soul of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and to be dressed from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. To see ourselves as nothing and to see ourselves in Rauza e Sharif (holy burial chamber) and in the presence of Prophet ﷺ.
Every Amr (Command) is Emanating From the Heart of Prophet ﷺ
Qur’an is emanating from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. The source of which the Holy Qur’an is moving to creation is the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Ya Rabbi, keep us in the presence of Prophet ﷺ and dress us from Lailatul Qadr and reality of Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power). Dress us from the oceans of the malaika (angels) and the reality of the ruh (soul). That every amr, every order, every isharat (sign), every reality is emanating from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. “Be izni Rabbi” with the permission of Allah (AJ); he is the source and the location which every amr (command) is moving throughout the universes.
﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ ﴿٤
97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizhne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)
“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every Command/affair.” (The Power, 97:4)
Every order must come to the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Prophet ﷺ gives that order to malaika (angels), to Budala, Nujaba, Nuqaba, Awtad wa akhyar (five categories of awliya (saints)). He ﷺ is the fountainhead of the realities. In Khatm Khawajagan and in zikr, always asking to see ourselves to be sitting there. So that source of all these realities, and the fountainhead of all these realities dress us from the freshness and oceans of realities from the heart of Prophet ﷺ, inshaAllah.
Allah (AJ) Sends Positive Energy to Balance the Negative Energy in the World
They are reminding us that people are not aware, but we are entering into very difficult stages of this dunya (material world). From the amount of negativity that shaitan (satan) is opening onto dunya and brings into dunya of difficulty, of badness, of evilness, of wickedness. Allah (AJ) is the best of planners. They plan; Allah (AJ) plans better.
It means for the extent of that wickedness Allah (AJ) is dressing with more and more positive lights, more and more beatific lights. So that the heart of the believers, they become like a shams, like a sun. That light should counter all the negativities and keep always the formula balanced. As much as the negativity is opening onto dunya, if it’s – let’s say – 10 negative realities, at least Allah (AJ) opens 10 positive, so that the scale is always balanced.
The few that will represent the many. It means instead of the majlis of zikr (association of Divine remembrance) being thousands of people, we see our self at a hundred people, but they still take the reward of the thousand people. It means if Allah (AJ) wanted to send a million gold coins and is hoping that in the last days, there would be one million people sitting in the zikr. But if a hundred show up, that hundred are very fortunate, because they take the million coins and divide amongst themselves. They carry that light and that tajalli (manifestations).
Divinely Holy Face and Angels Support the People of Zikr
Awliya (saints) describe that when the days of qadr (power) open, that Allah (AJ) gave an order that would release the lights of His Divinely Face, Wajhi hil Karim. That Wajhi hil Karim would begin to dress all of the majlis of zikr. And that Sayyidina Jibreel (as) has been ordered to descend into the hearts of the believers with five thousand malaika (angels). They’re constantly moving into the heart and dressing the hearts with these lights and beatific oceans of Allah (AJ) so that people have a chance against these negativities, that they have a support, and they have a light against negativity. Without that support, you find that this world becomes harder and harder to keep the faith, to keep the practices, and to keep the belief. An overwhelming tide that is constantly pushing people away from Allah (AJ) to run into the hands of shayateen (devils).
Alhamdulillah, good news and glad tidings for all those who are finding themselves in the majlis of zikr (association of Divine remembrance). We were taught by Mawlana Shaykh that everything related to the Muhammadan Reality is the higher level than understanding of our physical in this material world. At the Muhammadan Reality it means that, that light is emanating from the heart of the soul of Prophet ﷺ.
The Soul of Prophet ﷺ is the Divinely Haqqaiq (Realities)
Where did the Holy Qur’an come from? From the heart of Prophet ﷺ; it is emanating out – it is the source of qudra, it is the source of power. When we annihilate ourselves and take ourselves back to our light reality, they want us to know, that when you begin to understand in the way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) that it’s the soul of Prophet ﷺ that is the haqqaiq and the reality. Then what do you think is happening in the heart of that light? Then we begin to understand ourselves, ‘Who knows himself will know his Lord.’ Not necessarily Allah (AJ), but he’ll know his Lordship. He’ll know what governs his reality.
مَنْ عَرَفَ نَفْسَهْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ
“Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqad ‘arafa Rabbahu”
“Who knows himself, knows his Lord.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
They want us to know that the only reality that is important for us is that Allah (AJ) “La ilaha ilAllah” is dressing “Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ”. Muhammadun RasulAllah, for all of our guests, is an entire blanket for all the prophets of the Divine. All the prophets are brothers within that ocean of reality. We are Muhammadan, so we mention everything through the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad 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.”
Souls of Zikr People Are From the Heart of Prophet ﷺ That is Constantly in Zikrullah
It means if we begin to look to that light and if Allah (AJ) shows that light, and they say what do you think is happening in the heart of Prophet ﷺ?” It means it is constantly in zikr (remembrance) because that is Allah’s (AJ) Hamd (praise), “Mu-Hamd” – Most Hamd. It means the heart of Prophet ﷺ is in continuous zikr of Allah (AJ), in continuous praising of the Divinely Presence.
Then what you think about the souls of the people who go to zikrullah (Divine remembrance)? Where have they came from? From the heart of Prophet ﷺ. That’s why they find themselves in association of zikr and they find no peace until they go back into the majlis of zikr. It means if all our lights are like a drop from the ocean of Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ – and the one who wants to know himself, to know the greater reality says, ‘Ya Rabbi, where have I came from?’
Allah (AJ) says, ‘Ya ‘Abdi (my servant), what is it that fuels you and makes you happy?’
I say, ‘Zikrullah’.
Allah (AJ), ‘What gives you safety and satisfaction?’
I say, ‘Salawat (praising) on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’
‘So then know your light, and the drop of your light that makes your soul; it’s from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ It came from that heart, and was given to your body, and your body finds no rest and no peace without the mentioning of Allah (AJ). And your body seeks out that, ‘Ya Rabbi, let me to mention You – I find my satisfaction and my peace! Let me to love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and I find my safety. I feel my origin. I feel the love of all the prophets of the Divine. I feel their brotherhood. I feel their sincerity.’ They say then you have to understand you come from the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
Make 70 Istighfar (Forgiveness) on Reality
Sayyidina YaSeen ﷺ
YaSeen = Ya (10) + Seen (60) = 70
That’s why in the Naqshbandi daily awrad (practices), they give you to make 70 istighfar, because the 10 for the ya and 60 for the reality of seen. It means you make 70 istighfar on the reality of YaSeen. It means everything Allah (AJ) described, ‘Everything is perfectly numbered.’
﴾وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا ﴿٢٨
72:28 – “…wa ahata bima ladayhim wa ahsa kulla shay in ‘adada.” (Surat Al-Jinn)
“… and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.” (The Jinn, 72:28)
When you dirty yourself, dirty your soul, there’s no way you are dirtying Allah (AJ). It means ahlul ma’rifah (people of gnosticism) come and teach you, ‘When you’re saying ‘Ya Rabbi, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah,’ is in general to make istighfar asking Allah (AJ) for forgiveness. But the way of ma’rifah (gnosticism) is that ‘Ya Rabbi, I’m doing anything against you! There’s no way I’m coming close to you! That I’m doing something against you!’. Then Allah (AJ) defines, ‘No, but your heart, your light comes from the one whom you love, Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ’. So “Jaooka.”
﴾وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّـهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّـهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٦٤
4:64 – “… wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum jaooka fastaghfaro Allaha wastaghfara lahumur Rasulu lawajado Allaha tawwaban raheema.” (Surat An-Nisa)
“…And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come to you (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.” (The Women, 4:64)
When You Hurt Your Soul, It Affects the Heart of Prophet ﷺ
When you put something difficult upon your soul, it causes a difficulty for the reality of Prophet ﷺ, like a father who loves you, like a mother who loves you – both father and mother at the same time. Prophet ﷺ says, that your soul comes from my heart, and that what you do against yourself, it affects my heart. Keep yourself to be clean.
Then all of our Masters’ teachings, it sews itself together like a carpet. You ask why do I have to keep good manners? Because you are from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Can his heart have something that has bad manners? Can it be rude? Can it be violent? Can it be an oppressor? No. If they’re finding themselves in the houses of zikr, and the houses of purification – why? Because Allah (AJ) wants us to remember, ‘You’re from the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Keep your light to be clean for the sake of the one whom you love or claim to love.’
We are trying our best to accomplish that love so we keep our self to be clean because of our love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Keep our manners to be good, keep our akhlaaq (character) to be good, keep our tongue to be good, our character to be loving because the heart of Prophet ﷺ is loving. It means when we know our self, we know our reality, and we begin to understand our responsibility.
Zikr People Are Dressed by Lailatul Qadr (Night of Power) From the Heart of Prophet ﷺ
That is why all lights, all qudra, all power is moving into the heart of Prophet ﷺ, and you find your arwah, your soul, sitting in there, being dressed by all these lights. There’s no way the people of love and muhabbat, and ahlul zikr, they can miss the qadr of Lailatul Qadr. If their physicality is heedless, it doesn’t mean that their souls are. Their souls are dancing in the oceans of the power of the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Where every “bi izni Rabbihim kuli amr.”
﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْر ﴿٤
97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizhne Rabbihim min kulle amr.” (Surat Al-Qadr)
“The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every command/affair.” (The Power, 97:4)
It means by the order of Allah (AJ), by the permission of Allah (AJ), every amr, every order, every power and qudra (power) is emanating from there. From where? From the heart of Prophet ﷺ. So, alhamdulillah that Allah (AJ) granted us these lights, granted us these blessings. Granted us to have that love and to be from ashiqeen (lovers of Prophet ﷺ), to be from the people who are constantly remembering, and they don’t find any peace without that remembrance of Allah (AJ), and that Allah (AJ) brought us from the origin of the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
We pray that Allah (AJ) keep us in these lights, Prophet ﷺ grant us forgiveness, and that when we do something wrong, asking for the intercession of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that Sayyidi Ya Rasul al-Karim ﷺ, that we are sorry. We are oppressors to ourselves, and we are coming to you, Ya RasulAllah ﷺ, you cleanse us, you wash us, you forgive us, and dress us in the oceans of qadr. Dress us in the oceans of ma’rifah (gnosticism). Dress us in the oceans of Qur’an. Dress us in the oceans of Islam (submission), Iman (Faith), wa Ihsan (Station of Excellence), so that you be happy with us, and that you present us to Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Presence, so that Allah (AJ) be happy with us.
﴾وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّـهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّـهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٦٤
4:64 – “… wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum jaooka fastaghfaro Allaha wastaghfara lahumur Rasolu lawajado Allaha tawwaban raheema.” (Surat An-Nisa)
“…And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come to you (Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)) and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful.” (The Women, 4:64)
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi sirri surat al-Fatiha.
