Spiritual Elites (Khawas) are Bearers of Divine Flame from the Highest Contemplation
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)
You Cannot Take Payment for Divine Teachings
That to be in the ocean of nothingness, that Allah (AJ) grant us to enter into the presence of His most beloved. Its ticket is be nothing. Alhamdulillah, that kalam al awliya (words of saints), the na’at sharif (prophetic praising) is not something you just recite because it’s entertainment and never, never take payment for it.
You lose the barakah (blessing) in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If someone wishes to give you hadiya and gift, this, alhamdulillah. But to put a fee before you open your mouth, forbidden. That, ‘I’ll come for a fee, I’ll recite for a fee.’ It’s not for ishq (love) and muhabbat and we lose the presence.
Awliya are Like the Prophets of Bani Israel
So, you choose dunya (material world). Even an act of akhirah (hereafter) has a choice. Is it really for akhirah or for dunya? Awliyaullah (saints) come into our life and they teach us: people must support, people must give but everything is free. If their hearts are working, they give. But can’t be you have an admission. So, no, you can’t come if unless you gave. ‘I won’t recite unless you pay.’
You lose the barakah of this immense presence. They come and teach us these manners, this adab, this ishq. This love has a mannerism and good character. That good character grants us this audience. What audience? Prophet ﷺ described, ‘My ‘ulama (scholars), my awliya (saints),’ because there’s two different versions and ‘My inheritors, they’re like the prophets of Bani Israel. They’re like the prophets of Bani Israel’.
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ” عُلَمَاءُ أُمَّتِي كَأَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيل .” [عَوَالِي اَلْلآلِي جُزْء ٤ / صفحة ٧٧، الحديث ٦٧]
Qala An Nabi (pbuh): “’Ulama o Ummati ka Anbiya ye Bani Israel.” [‘Awali Allaali, Juz’ 4, Safha 77, Al Hadiht 67]
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “The scholars of my nation are like the prophets of Bani Israel.” [Source: ‘Awali Allaali, Volume 4, Page 77, Hadith # 67]
Every Prophet Represents a Story and Reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
Now we went before, but requires to contemplate. What Sayyidina Yusuf (as) achieved with all his khidmat, all his service and all the testing that Allah (AJ) because he was dressed with the beatific lights of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ? Every prophet in Qur’an represents a qissah, a story and a reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because all the floors of the building describe the building. That all of this creation is in an ocean called Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and La ilaha illAllah is the power but we are not in and partners with Allah (AJ).
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.”
The Best of Stories in Holy Qur’an is of Sayyidina Yusuf (as) (Holy Qur’an, 12:3)
Every prophecy and prophet comes as a characteristic, a description, an example. Allah (AJ) chose for Qur’an the best of examples so his nation would one day figure what was the beauty of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Allah (AJ) says, ‘I’m now going to tell you a very beautiful story and the story of Sayyidina Yusuf (as).’
﴾نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ… ﴿٣
12:3 – “Nahnu naqussu ‘alayka ahsana alqasasi bima awhayna ilayka haaza alqurana…” (Surat Yusuf)
“We relate to you, the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur’an…” (Yusuf, 12:03)
Dunya People Hide Their Darkness, Heavenly People Emanate Light
That immense beauty that people cut themselves to see because they couldn’t imagine – is this something from heaven? Is this angelic because this is from the level of the soul? We live in a world that’s different now. A world now that they want to paint themself as beautiful and hide the ugliness of their soul. Right? The more and more you go towards dunya (material world) people, the more they’re painted. Why?
Because there’s a demon undercover, a darkness and darkness upon a soul that hiding. They don’t want that to be seen by people. They cover it. But what has Allah (AJ) for the heavenly people? They have so much light emanating from their soul, it comes out of every pour of their being; from their eyes, their ears. Everything from them is a light that affects the hearts and souls of other people and what we call a juzba (magnetism).
Every Prophet Represented Something Different
There’s an energy coming out. Those who don’t have it, they’re very jealous of this reality so they’ll make all sorts of teachings and all sorts of propagations that, ‘Don’t be attracted to these types of people,’ which we call awliya (saints) and they emit these lights and this beauty. Sayyidina Yusuf (as) represents this beauty. Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) represents the companionship to the Divinely Presence.
Sayyidina Musa (as) represents the speaking to the Divinely Presence. Sayyidina Isa (as) represents like the ruh and the soul of the Divinely Presence. All of those are Muhammadan haqqaiqs (realities). When Sayyidina Musa (as) wanted to see, ‘Who am I talking to?’ That’s why in the na’at – Jaane Rahmah, ‘Ask Musa (as) who he was seeing’.
Jiss taraf uth gayi, Dam may dam aa gayaMillions of salutations be upon that Life-bestowing Gaze.
Someone should ask Prophet Moses (as), Whom did he see?
Millions of salutations upon the Courageous Eyes that could witness that glory
All Prophets Strived to Achieve the Presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
So, it means the vision of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ was enough once in the life of Sayyidina Musa (as) and makes to be from the great prophets of Allah (AJ) because he was speaking to his Rab, his authority. So, the vision of Sayyidina Musa (as) because he speaks to his authority. He speaks to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and wanted a vision of that authority and Allah (AJ) granted that gift.
These na’ats are coming to teach. All creation was sacrificing for a glimpse of that reality. Now come to the Muhammadan nation whom they sit and learn in that presence, to be with their soul in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, taking the faiz (downpouring blessings), the lights and the emanations of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Their knowledges and ‘uloom are coming.
Prophet ﷺ Encompasses Traits of All the Prophets
They’re all kalimullah (the one who speaks to Allah (AJ)). They’re all khalilullah (friend of Allah (AJ)). They’re all supported by ruhullah because all of that is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. These na’ats are teaching us that do you know what Allah (AJ) has given to you? Have you tried to get it?
Because the learned men of God have. Those were the prophets of Bani Israel. All the prophets you know are the prophets of Bani Israel. All that Allah (AJ) describes of them in Qur’an, those were to achieve a presence in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Nabi Musa (as) Spoke to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Because Nabi Musa (as) wanted to clarify, ‘Who am I talking to when I’m talking?’ He was talking to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because there is no talking from Allah (AJ) unless it goes to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Allah (AJ) speaks to the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, in his light, in his world of soul, speaks to all the prophets of Allah (AJ), to all the angels of Allah (AJ), everything. Because Allah (AJ) is the Hidden Treasure.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ، قَالْ اللَّه عَزَ وَجَلْ: ” كُنْت كَنْزاً مخفيا فَأَحْبَبْت أَنْ أُعْرَفَ؛ فَخَلَقْت خَلْقاً فَعَرَّفْتهمْ بِي فَعَرَفُونِي.” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – بِحَارْ اَلْأنْوَارْ، اَلْعَلَامَةْ اَلْمَجْلِسِيْ، جُزْء ٨٤، صَفْحَة ١٩٩]
Qala Rasulallahi ﷺ, Qala Allah (AJ): “Kuntu kanzan makhfiyya, fa ahbabtu an a’rafa, fa khalaqtu khalqan, fa ‘arraftahum bi fa ‘arafonee.” [Hadith al Qudsi – Behar al Anwar, Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Juz’ 84, Safha 199]
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, that Allah (AJ) said: “I was a hidden Treasure then I desired to be known, so I created a creation to which I made Myself known; then they knew Me.” [Holy Hadith – Bihar al Anwar, by Al ‘Alama al Majlisi, Volume 84, Page 199]
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Carried an Ancient Prophecy Before Sayyidina Adam (as)
In the world of light and paradises, Allah (AJ) is nowhere to be seen. There’s no likeness unto Allah (AJ). So, Prophet ﷺ described for us, ‘I was a prophet before Adam’.
قَالَ رَسُولَ اللَّه ﷺ َ: “كُنْتُ نَبِيًّا وَآدَمُ بَيْنَ الْمَاءِ وَالطِّينِ.”
Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ:“Kuntu Nabiyan wa Adama baynal Maa e wat Teen.”
The Messenger of Allah, Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “I was a Prophet and Adam was between water and clay.”
All Angels Enter Prophet’s ﷺ Presence to Receive Their Commands
Risalat (prophecy) is ancient and all the angels, they enter into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and get all their commands beiznillah. “Malaika wa ruh beizne Rabbikum kullun amr”.
﴾تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ ﴿٤
97:4 – “Tanazzalul malaikatu war Roh, fiha beizne 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)
Allah (AJ) Wants to Be Known Through Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
With the permission of Allah (AJ), this is all happening because Allah (AJ) created the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to be known by. All guidance, all knowledges, every command – kullun amr, kullun amr comes from that reality. There’s never a point in which you move aside Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and you go to the presence of Allah (AJ). What would that be? That would be a shirk (polytheism) because where would you be in that reality? That you could be between La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ?
No! That from Allah’s (AJ), the light comes the reality and the light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So, then imagine then the immensities of these lights and these realities. You want to be beautiful. Keep the light and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Allah (AJ) dress you with the beauty of Sayyidina Yusuf (as). These are all the gifts Allah (AJ) gave to other nations, but his own nation ﷺ not coming to get them.
Prophet ﷺ Will Be Rarely Mentioned and Forgotten in the Last Days
In the last days, Prophet ﷺ described, ‘They would forget me, barely mention me’ and think that they have a way directly to Allah (AJ) and they call themselves Ahle Qur’an in which they left out the Hadith and sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدْرُسُ الْإِسْلَامُ كَمَا يَدْرُسُ وَشْيُ الثَّوْبِ حَتَّى لَا يُدْرَى مَا صِيَامٌ وَلَا صَلَاةٌ وَلَا نُسُكٌ وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ وَلَيُسْرَى عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ فَلَا يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُ آيَةٌ وَتَبْقَى طَوَائِفُ مِنْ النَّاسِ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْعَجُوزُ يَقُولُونَ أَدْرَكْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُهَا 4049 سنن ابن ماجه
ʿAn Ḥudhayfata ibn al-Yaman qala: qala RasulAllah ﷺ,“Yadrusu al-Islamu kama yadrusu washyu ath-thawbi, ḥatta la yudra ma ṣiyamun wa la ṣalatun wa la nusukun wa la sadaqatun. Wa layusra ʿala Kitabi Allahi ʿazza wa jalla fī laylatin, fa-la yabqa fī al-ardi minhu ayatun. Wa tabqa tawaʾifu mina an-nasi ash-shaykhu al-kabiru wa al-ʿajuzu, yaquluna: adrakna abaʾana ʿala hadhihi al-kalimati, la ilaha illa Allahu, fa-naḥnu naquluha.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 4049]
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman reported, The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “Islam will be taken apart just as a garment is taken apart, until fasting is not known, nor prayer, nor rites, nor charity. The Book of Allah Almighty will vanish in a single night, such that no verse of it is left on Earth. There will only remain some sects among the people, old men and women who say: We heard our forefathers used to say ‘there is no God but Allah,’ so we say it as well.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 4049]
Sayyidina Musa (as) Asked to See Allah (AJ) (Holy Qur’an, 7:143)
It’s already happening in this world because that’s dajjal’s (man of deceit) system because he’s scared of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So, the nation has access to all these maqams (stations). You want to be kalimullah (one who speaks to Allah (AJ)) to talk because awliya (saints) have yaqeen (certainty). They’re not talking to who they don’t know who they’re talking to.
So, Sayyidina Musa (as) is called kalimullah and realized, Allah (AJ) says in Qur’an, gave the whole qissah (story). ‘Ya Rabbi, I want to see You’. ‘You cannot see Me, I’ll show you ayatul akbar – My greatest sign’. Went out. He saw that light, out call, reset.
﴾وَلَمَّا جَاءَ مُوسَىٰ لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ أَرِنِي أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ ۚ قَالَ لَن تَرَانِي وَلَـٰكِنِ انظُرْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَقَرَّ مَكَانَهُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَانِي ۚ فَلَمَّا تَجَلَّىٰ رَبُّهُ لِلْجَبَلِ جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا وَخَرَّ مُوسَىٰ صَعِقًا ۚ فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿١٤٣
7:143 – “Wa lamma jaa Musa limeeqatina wa kallamahu Rabbuhu, qala rabbi arinee anzhur ilayka, Qala lan taranee wa lakini onzhur ilal jabali fa inistaqarra makanahu, fasawfa taranee, falamma tajalla Rabbuhu lil jabali ja`alahu, dakkan wa kharra Musa sa`iqan, falamma afaqa qala subhanaka tubtu ilayka wa ana awwalul Mumineen.” (Surat Al-A’raf)
“And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, “My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You.” [Allah] said, “you will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in its place, then you will see Me.” But when his Lord manifested His glory on the mountain, He made it as dust, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke/recovered his senses, he said, “Glory be to You! to You I turn in repentance, and I am the first of the believers.” (The Heights. 7:143)
Nabi Musa (as) Rebooted and Awakened Upon Experiencing the Light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
We just released video. His system had to be rebooted. A death – mawt qablil mawt (death of desires before physical death). Everyone must taste of death to reach Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ; doesn’t matter, his Holy Companions, their stations can’t be imagined. Sayyidina Musa (as) thinking alayhis salaam that he’s alive, not for this reality. You’ve got to get mawt qablil mawt. Saw and died, rebooted, came back up, now capable of understanding that reality.
So, it means then our life is to capture all of these realities, all these lights and all these blessings. To be khalilullah is to keep the companionship and the love of Prophet ﷺ which we described this is the station of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as). This is a tariqah (spiritual path) of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as). To keep that friendship and companionship that can only occur with truthful character because the companionship doesn’t work with crookedness, cheating and stealing and lying.
Keep Your Practices to Keep Prophet ﷺ With You
So, the tariqahs (spiritual paths) come to teach manners. Have good manners. Have good character. You’re going to keep the companionship of the shaykh is a training. How you behave and conduct yourself with these guides, you gain the access of these Holy Companions that begin to teach. You want to be with khalil ur Rahman (friend of The Most Compassionate)? You want to be in that companionship with the love of Prophet ﷺ?
Do your durood (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), your salawat (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and your good deeds. Know that he’s always with you and that he always sees you. You don’t talk harshly with somebody. You don’t threaten to hurt somebody. The other people who they do their practices and they even threaten to hurt people when they talk. Do you think that Prophet ﷺ is with you like that? It means that companionship immediately stops.
If You Don’t Acknowledge Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) Isn’t With You
The kholoq (character) is the only thing that keeps everything. It’s not, ‘Oh because I pray a lot, Prophet ﷺ is with me’. They know that’s not even that’s true. Shaitan even knows that true so they say let’s go higher because the bigger the lie, the more believable. ‘Allah (AJ) is with me’. Allah (AJ) is with you? Holy moly, nobody is with you. Prophet ﷺ is not with you. They know they can’t make that lie. They can act really bad, character can be bad but never they come to themselves and say, ‘No, Prophet ﷺ is with me’ because shaitan say, ‘Don’t see that. They’re going to know right away you’re lying. So, they go even bigger and say, ‘Allah’s (AJ) with me.’
That’s why you see them talking very little about Prophet ﷺ. Why? He’s not with them. He doesn’t walk with ones whom their character is not correct. Character has to be siddiq, truthful; doesn’t mean they make mistakes. Yeah, of course, they make mistakes and they repent but their life is about the kholoq, the character. Conduct yourself in a proper manner especially outside of the tariqah (spiritual path) confines when you’re dealing with people. Prophet ﷺ is still walking with you.
Be Like Previous Prophets Who Established Their Connections With Prophet ﷺ
You’re making salawats, you’re taking the awrads (daily practices), the zikrs (Divine remembrance) and the training and don’t be a hypocrite. That Prophet ﷺ say, ‘Oh, tell them stop making it because this is hypocrisy’. No, we think to ourself, ‘I’m making durood (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). I’m doing my awrad. I’m doing all these things.’ No doubt, the light of Prophet ﷺ, I’m trying to keep that companionship so that I can be like Sayyidina Ibrahim (as). I can keep the friendship of Prophet ﷺ.
You don’t think he has a friendship with his nation? Don’t you want to be like Sayyidina Musa (as) talking to your lord, to your rab? That all day long, they’re talking to Prophet ﷺ. Whatever coming into their heart, whatever their concerns, whatever their worries because they make their durood. They make their salawat. They keep themself in wudu (ablution). They keep themself clean. All day long, they talk with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When necessary for an audience, they merely close their eyes; not close their eyes, but they begin their tafakkur (contemplation) and they enter into the presence of Prophet ﷺ.
Awliya are Inheritors of the Prophets
Now understand Sayyidina Musa (as) and the awliya (saints) of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. What the prophets and what Prophet ﷺ was trying to give because of humility that, ‘My ‘ulama and my awliya, they’re inheritors they’re like’ because you’re humble.
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)
Not going to say, ‘Those prophets were trying to get near me. I’m for my nation and all I concerned about was for my nation. But my nation doesn’t choose to draw themselves to me so that they can be khalilullah, they can be kalimullah, they can become ruhullah.’ That was the study of the lataif (subtle energy points) of the heart because those prophets come and teach us: you want from that character? Talk to the one whom is the authorized sultan of Allah (AJ).
Seek to Be at the Feet of Prophet ﷺ
So, if you are talking to Prophet ﷺ, how is that Allah (AJ)? Right? That’s the Hadith al Qudsi (Holy Hadith) where Allah (AJ) describes how that happens. If you’re truly in your connection through your shaykhs taught you and that you’re connected.
You’re ashamed to look to the face of Prophet ﷺ, I’m not…the haybah (majestic power) is immense that, ‘I’m just at your feet making my durood, making my salawats’. Say, how shaykh then, from that presence, you understood it to be Allah (AJ)? Because Allah (AJ) clarified in Hadith al Qudsi, ‘I will be your hearing’.
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Carries the Will and Speech of Allah (AJ)
This is not about me and you. That hadith is Allah (AJ) describing who Prophet ﷺ is. That no doubt he did all his fard (obligatory). Everything else he’s doing for Allah (AJ) is through love and voluntary worshipness. Hadith al Qudsi is describing the reality of Prophet ﷺ that Allah (AJ) is his hearing. Allah (AJ) is his seeing. Allah (AJ) is his speaking. Allah (AJ) is his breathing. Allah (AJ) is his hands.
Allah (AJ) is his feet so much so he is Rabbaniyoon (lordly soul) and you better believe he has power of “Kun faya koon” because he wills what Allah (AJ) wills. He speaks what Allah (AJ) wants.
عَنْ أَبِيِ هُرَيْرَةِ رَضِّيَّ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : إِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَىٰ قَالَ:”… وَلَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْت سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا، وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا، وَلَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي لَأُعْطِيَنَّهُ،…” [حَدِيثْ اَلْقُدْسِي – صَحِيحْ الْبُخَارِي – رقم:٦٥٠٢]
‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qala, Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ : InnAllaha ta’ala qala: “ …, wa la yazaalu ‘Abdi yataqarrabu ilayya bin nawafile hatta ahebahu, fa idha ahbabtuhu kunta Sam’ahul ladhi yasma’u behi, wa Basarahul ladhi yubsiru behi, wa Yadahul lati yabTeshu beha, wa Rejlahul lati yamshi beha, wa la in sa alani la a’Teyannahu, …” [Hadith 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 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]
Sayyidina Muhammad Doesn’t Speak of His Own Desire, But Only From Allah’s (AJ) Will (Holy Qur’an, 53:3-5)
Then Allah (AJ), in Surat An Najm says, ‘He’s Uhyi al Qur’an.’ He does not speak except that it’s the will of Allah (AJ). Any breath coming from the mouth of Prophet ﷺ, qudrat al ilahiya (Divine Power) because Allah (AJ) clarified, ‘He’s Uhyi al Qur’an. He doesn’t speak’ because Allah (AJ) created this reality to represent Him.
﴾وَمَا يَنطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ ﴿٣﴾ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحَىٰ ﴿٤﴾ عَلَّمَهُ شَدِيدُ الْقُوَىٰ ﴿٥
53:3-5 – “Wa ma yantiqu ‘anil hawa. (3) In huwa illa wahyun yooha. (4) ‘Allamahu shadeedul Quwa. (5)” (Surat An-Najm)
“Nor does he (Prophet Muhammad (s) speak from [his own] desire. (3) He is not but a revelation revealed. (4) He was taught by one Mighty in Power. (5)” (The Star, 53:3-5)
Nabi Musa (as) Witnessed Prophet ﷺ Once and Reset
[He] Gave this to the nation. They read the book and they think it’s a storybook of prophets from old, ‘Wow, oh look this. This prophet was talking. This one was this.’ Awliya (saints) are wondering why aren’t you doing that.
How much Sayyidina Musa (as) after he witnessed – this what this na’at (prophetic praising) is saying – he witnessed one time the reality of Prophet ﷺ, reset, that’s it. ‘I stop everything’. He left his risalat.
Millions of salutations be upon that Life-bestowing Gaze.
Someone should ask Prophet Moses (as), Whom did he see?
Millions of salutations upon the Courageous Eyes that could witness that glory
Sayyidina Musa (as) Wanted the Reality of La Ilaha IllAllah Muhammadun RasulAllah ﷺ
He took his mureed (devoted disciple), ‘We’re going until I become rushd (mature), I want that reality, I want the Muhammadan reality,’ and we said where two rivers meet: ‘I want La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ’.
﴾وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَاهُ لَا أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِيَ حُقُبًا ﴿٦٠
18:60 – “Wa idh qala Mosa lefatahu laa abrahu hatta ablugha majma’a albahrayni aw amdiya huquba.” (Surat Al-Kahf)
“Behold, Moses said to his attendant, I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two seas or (until) I spend years and years in travel.” (The Cave, 18:60)
Prophet ﷺ Honours His Reality Upon True Prophets
So, these are the gifts Allah (AJ) gave to the nation, but they’re not prophets. They’re not going to call themselves prophets, but Prophet ﷺ gives the honour of the reality that whatever those prophets (as) were trying to achieve was from the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Say, ‘Oh, my nation, draw near to me’. These na’ats then describe this beatific…oh, if the world was killing themself for one vision, imagine those whom sit in that reality.
Now they’re not coming and saying that, ‘I don’t know how I got this high rank. It’s not from my charity, my giving and my zakat (charity), but one nazar (gaze) from this reality lifted me into a completely different abode’.
Rabi’ul Awwal is the Month of Miladun Nabi ﷺ
If all the prophets (as) were trying to achieve, how the ‘ashiqeen (love) just with a vision of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, how they can achieve? What can they achieve of immense, immense realities, immense light, immense blessings? This is an unimaginable gift from Allah (AJ). This holy month opens the power of 27. So, we want to now understand this is the month of Miladun Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ).
This is in the sultanate (kingdom) of 9. We went in Surah Tawbah because the Qur’an is guiding us in a path for awliya, we call Shamsul ‘Arifeen (Sun of knowers). The Qur’an opens base 9. Surah Tawbah come. 9:40, verse 40 – enter the cave that Prophet ﷺ went with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as).
﴾ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ اللَّـهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا…﴿٤٠…
9:40 – “…thaniya ithnayni idh huma fil ghari idh yaqolu lisahibihi la tahzan inna Allaha ma’ana, fa anzalAllahu sakeenatahu, ‘alayhi wa ayyadahu, bi junodin lam tarawha…” (Surat At-Tawba)
“… as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, “Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us.” And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see…” (The Repentance, 9:40)
Many Holy Events Fall on the 27th of the Month
The cave is the entrance into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Second 9 – surah 18, Ashab ul Kahf (Companions of the Cave), the cave, which kahf? The cave of Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ heart. What happens then third month of Rabi’ul Awwal? Surat An-Naml – 27th surah. Why all holy events on 27 because of this reality. The kingdom of Allah (AJ), its gate on dunya – sab’ah wa ‘ishreen (27 in Arabic).
Grand Shaykh said by the secret of 2 and 7. Why we celebrate the 27th Laylatul Qadr (Night of Power), Isra wal Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension), all the holy events on 27th because it’s a gate to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Rabi’ul Awwal Carries Ismullah: Al-Basir, All-Seeing and Ismur Rasul: Al Mudathir, The One Whom Shows Patience in Tyranny
So, we come then, this is the month of the 27, the third month. We’re at the third month – Rabi’ul Awwal. The 27 is the reality and then Surat An Naml. The dress for the holy month, sifat al Basir (attribute of The All-Seeing). The 27th name Allah (AJ), sifat al Basir: The One whom is All Seeing. So now what happens on Mawlidun Nabi ﷺ? Because like tasbih (prayer beads), you have to write and understand these things.
That on the 27th month, the door of the kingdom, sifat al Basir; those whom they want their hearts to open to see the heavens. It’s a link to the Miladun Nabi ﷺ. The key is Ismur Rasul – Al Mudathir ﷺ: the one whom shows patience in tyranny, sabr jameel (beatific patience). Prophet’s ﷺ name Mudathir, the characteristic is to have patience, good character. That’s the key for sifat al Basir.
Holy Qur’an is a Clear Book and Guidance for Believers Who Are Certain in Faith (Holy Qur’an, 27:1-3)
The ones who want to see, they have to have good character, sabr. But patience doesn’t come when things are good. Patience come when times are difficult, people are difficult. As a result, their akhlaaq (character) and their kholoq is rewarded. That’s what we taught in last month, Surat Al Kahf. Every time rocks come to us, the dog was being dressed by haybah (majestic power).
That Prophet ﷺ giving the reward from the heavens for patience, for patience, for patience. They begin to be dressed by these realities. Now we go to Surat An Naml to see what Allah (AJ) dressing for us in this holy month to get understanding of what we were talking about of these lights. Haji Shahid let’s do at least first three verses. 27, Surah 27 all the way from 1 to verse 3, inshaAllah.
Audience: “A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen. Hudanw wa bushraa lil mu’mineen. Allazeena yuqeemoonas Salaata wa yu’toonaz Zakaata wa hum bil Aakhirati hum yooqinoon.” SadaqAllahul Aliyyul ‘Azim.
طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿١﴾ هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٢﴾ الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ الزَّكَاةَ وَهُم بِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٣﴾
27:1-3 – “Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen. (1) Hudanw wa bushraa lil mu’mineen (2) Allazeena yuqeemoonas Salaata wa yu’toonaz Zakaata wa hum bil Aakhirati hum yooqinoon (3)” (Surat al-Naml)
“Taa-Seen, These are verses of the Qur’an, and a Clear Book. As guidance and good tidings for the believers (2) Who establish prayer and give zakah, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith]. (3)” (The Ant, 27:1-3)
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: SadaqAllahul ‘Azim wa barakah Rasulul Kareem (the most generous messenger).
Ta From Sayyidina TaHa ﷺ Represents the Most Purified Guide of Allah (AJ)
Seems like we talked about this yesterday. New year just flies. Because now as this cave is opening, Allah (AJ) is giving to us because these surahs (chapters) are guiding us into the reality of where we’re headed into the heart of Prophet ﷺ. Allah (AJ) then gives to us the realities of ‘Ta’ and ‘Seen’. ‘Ta’ we know from Tahir ul Hadi (purified guide). Sayyidina TaHa ﷺ, Tahir ul Hadi, most purified guide of Allah (AJ) in hidayat (guidance).
This guide is so pure, it’s a fire because fire burns all impurity, right? The beatific reality that Allah (AJ) giving to us is the immensity of its purity is not a light because light is a reflection. Allah (AJ) drawing our reality towards this is a fire.
Sayyidina Muhammad is the Illuminating Lamp, Light Upon Light (Holy Qur’an, 24:35)
This is a source of light. Nurun ala nur (light upon light); not of the East, not of the west but bringing its own reality. Surah Nur, Allah (AJ) describes even more detail about that; Sirajan Muneera (Illuminating Lamp).
اللَّـهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ ۖ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ ۖ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ مُّبَارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لَّا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَلَا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكَادُ زَيْتُهَا يُضِيءُ وَلَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نَارٌ ۚ نُّورٌ عَلَىٰ نُورٍ ۗ يَهْدِي اللَّـهُ لِنُورِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَيَضْرِبُ اللَّـهُ الْأَمْثَالَ لِلنَّاسِ ۗ وَاللَّـهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿٣٥﴾
24:35 – “Allahu noorus samawati wal ardi. mathalu noorehi kamishkatin feeha misbahun, almisbahu fee zujajatin, azzujajatu kaannaha kawkabun durriyyun yoqadu min shajaratim mubarakatin zaytoonatil la sharqiyyatin wa la gharbiyyatin yakadu zaytuha yudeeo wa law lam tamsashu narun. noorun ‘ala noorin. yahdellahu linoorihi man yashao. Wa yadribullah ul amthala linnasi, wallahu bikulli shayin ‘Aleem.” (Surat An-Nur)
“Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Parable of His Light is as if there were a Niche and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil is well-nigh luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah guides whom He will to His Light: Allah present examples for the people: and Allah knows all things.” (The Light, 24:35)
Seen Carries Ilm ul Yaqeen, Ayn ul Yaqeen and Haqq ul Yaqeen
But this ta and its purified reality, like a purified fire. The seen is the secret and source of all knowledges and secrets, the sir. That this immense fire, this immense reality of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that you are now going to be moving into…Qur’an is now drawing us into that reality. Allah (AJ) giving that the sir and the secret of every reality is here because the next set of 9 is YaSeen which is the heart.
TaSeen is the purified fire and the seen is the secret because the seen has Ilm ul Yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty), Ayn ul Yaqeen (Vision of Certainty), Haqq ul Yaqeen (Certainty of Truth). Every knowledge has a secret and every secret has a knowledge in it. Nurul anwar wa sirratul asrar (light of every secret and secret of every light); the light of every secret and he is the secret of every light ﷺ.
Allah (AJ) Created Creation in Truth (Holy Qur’an, 29:44)
TaSeen, just for us to understand what is this fire been made out of, Allah (AJ), Tahir ul Hadi. There is nothing more pure than this. Because of its purity, Allah (AJ) describes later in Qur’an that, ‘I created creation in truth means I didn’t use a dirty light, a mixed light, a crooked light. I didn’t make a fake light.’
﴾خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٤٤
29:44 – “Khalaqal laahus samaawaati wal arda bilhaqq; inna fee zaalika la aayatan lil mu’mineen” (Surah Al-Ankabut)
“Allah created the heavens and the earth in truth. Indeed in that is a sign for the believers.” (The Spider, 29:44)
Like we said last night, everything with them, they talk of deception. Allah (AJ) said, ‘No, this creation is created in truth’ by immensely purified light that you can’t imagine, I can’t imagine. We don’t have any understanding of that purity. Its purity beyond imagination and it is nurul anwar wa sirratul asrar – it is the source of every secret and every secret finds its reality in that.
Are You in Associations That Feed You Realities?
It’s comprised of the seen. It’s comprised of Ilm ul Yaqeen, Ayn ul Yaqeen, Haqq ul Yaqeen. It means what? If you’re not fed Ilm ul Yaqeen, you’re not going to ever reach this fountain and this reality. If you’re sitting and the knowledges being taught to you are not Ilm ul Yaqeen, how you’re going to reach any of this? Oh, they just take. No, they don’t take anybody. [It] Has to be a dress upon the soul, right?
How are you going to catch fire if I don’t put the fire on you? Says no, you’re just going to jump onto me. How is it going to jump onto you? So, how you catch fire is that Ilm ul Yaqeen has to start coming towards you because knowledges are food. So, we feed or are we being fed from realities? Where I sit in the associations of Ilm ul Yaqeen? Not the associations of nonsense talk, but knowledges that are actually feeding my soul from the oceans of certainty. We just described this a hundred times, but you never know when somebody, it clicks in their heart that, ‘I think I understand what you’re finally talking about’.
True Shaykhs Can Teach You How to Open Your Ayn ul Yaqeen
Ilm ul Yaqeen – then the shaykh has to be, if he’s the shaykh of this reality; not every shaykh is like this, not every corner store has the same. The shaykh has to then be qualified and have ijazah (permission) to teach you Ayn ul Yaqeen. Ayn ul Yaqeen in which to receive these ancient knowledges, ayn. [They] Teach you how to open your ayn, how to open your vision so that you’re taking realities and opening.
Through your heart and through your soul is the only place that can contain this reality. You put it on the paper as a placeholder to burn into your soul; not on your phone, not anywhere else. This Ilm ul Yaqeen, as the shaykhs are talking from their soul is a laser being burned into the soul of those whom listen in presence. Time and distance means nothing. Wherever they are, whenever they turn that talk on, that laser begins to etch itself and burn into the soul of that servant.
Keep Your Practices When Training With Your Shaykh to Make Your Connection
Then they have to train with the shaykh. That’s when you understood the cryptos and the technology, Ayn ul Yaqeen, right? You got the app version, but you have to still connect to the storage units because the encryptions in the shaykh’s soul. If you don’t make your connection, connect your heart so that from his heart, he can reach into your heart and begin to configure your encryption.
So far, you only heard it through your ears. As soon as you make your tafakkur (contemplation) for Ayn ul Yaqeen, the vision of certainty – well, that must be a very authorized station to gain certainty. So that when you’re connecting, their light comes. Their light begins to scan, see the correctness of the individual before it can begin to download. There has to be codes being coming in. If you’re off on your codes, your seed words are off, the wallet doesn’t open and then they tell: you keep practicing, keep giving, keep doing, keep doing your khidmat (service).
When You Receive Knowledges and Learn to Meditate, You Reach Haqq ul Yaqeen
Then Ilm ul Yaqeen, Ayn ul Yaqeen, what it made for you? An entire new universe is being made for you. Now the scientists will come and begin to teach you that, right? That in any moment, entire universes can come into existence. Your whole new…what are they’re calling it? Their sciences have this information now – like parallel universe. In one dimension, you’re here. You don’t know anything. You go to Taco Bell.
As soon as they begin to give you knowledges, as soon as you learn how to meditate, something now became a haq (truth) for you. We’ve talked about lateral and forward movement. You just merely moved through a pardeh (veil). It’s a completely different existence Allah (AJ) gives to you, completely different. Your knowledges and realities are dressing you in a completely different understanding.
You Can Reach an Ability to Move in Space and Time
Based on that, your association of your soul now with completely different individuals from Allah’s (AJ) believing servants. Budal, Nujab, Nuqab, Awtad wal Akhyar, malaika (angels) wa jinn (unseen beings). The knowledges that come change the vibration of an individual of haqqaiqs. They opened the ayn and their vision. They make the connection. Every haq that Allah (AJ) dresses them, they’re moving in different universes, in pardehs (veils).
That’s why people look at them 20 years later. They don’t even know who are you or you look like you came from a different planet. You’re literally…you’re in a different existence, but you have the ability to move back and forth. You have the ability to move in space and time in these pardehs and these realities. Some people meditate and hours go missing is a timeless dimension.
Halaqas are Circles of Paradise That Have No Time
If they connect their heart and Prophet ﷺ keep them, by the time they come back, they don’t understand where four hours went because in one, you’re sitting here on the carpet. Where Allah (AJ) taking you with your soul and all the others? One version was only described of paradise that the halaqas (circles) are circles of paradise. A circle of paradise has no time. So, what’s happening now in this halaqa? Do you leave the halaqa? It’s paradise.
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: “إِذَا مَرَرْتُمْ بِرِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَعُوا.” قَالُوا وَمَا رِيَاضُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: “حِلَقُ الذِّكْرِ. ” [سُنَنُ التِّرْمِذِيِ ٣٥١٠]
‘An Anasi ibni Malikin (ra) anna Rasulallahi ﷺ qala: “Izaa marartum beriyadil jannati, farta’u.” Qalu: wa ma riyadul jannati? Qala ﷺ: “Hilaquz Zikri [Sunan at-Tirmidhi 3510]
Anas ibn Malik (ra) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, “When you pass by the gardens of Paradise, then feast/indulge (in their blessings).” They said, “What are the gardens of Paradise?” The Prophet (pbuh) said, “The circles of Divine remembrance.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3510]
How long have you been in that paradise and in that halaqa? What did Allah (AJ) dress you in that halaqa, in the circle of paradise? You only know from your physical reality, so you come back saying, ‘Okay I got a little bit tired. I went home.’ But those whom their hearts are open, they experience many things in these halaqas. They go many places. Some come back with lots of information because the body is just a vehicle. The rider’s on a journey, but most people, they’re locked in their cars. They’re just sitting there in their car. But the car was just the body, was just a vehicle to come. You were supposed to open the heart and the soul and travel.
Nabi Musa (as) Approached the Divinely Fire to Receive Knowledge (Holy Qur’an, 20:10)
So, it means these are immense realities of haqqaiq. So, TaSeen is an immense fire and reality, right? This was then the fire where Sayyidina Musa (as) saw when he set out. He saw a fire. Allah’s (AJ) not a fire, right? Then Allah (AJ) described that Nabi Musa (as) [he said], ‘I saw a fire. I’m going to go to that fire to get some warmth and to get some knowledges’.
﴾إِذْ رَأَىٰ نَارًا فَقَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ امْكُثُوا إِنِّي آنَسْتُ نَارًا لَّعَلِّي آتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِقَبَسٍ أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى ﴿١٠
20:10 – “Iz ra aa naaran faqaala li ahlihim kusooo inneee aanastu naaral la’alleee aateekum minhaa biqabasin aw ajidu ‘alan naari hudaa” (Surat Taha)
‘When he saw a fire and said to his family, “Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire; perhaps I can bring you a torch or find at the fire some guidance.”’ (Taha, 20:10)
The Divinely Fire is the Abode for Prophet’s ﷺ Nation
So, when people say, ‘Well, who said Allah’s (AJ) a fire?’ Say Qur’an says. Allah (AJ) give a example of a fire. This is the very fire and portal that Sayyidina Musa (as) one time. When Allah (AJ) giving to Ummat e Muhammad ﷺ (nation of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), ‘Come in. Live in here. Operate in here and this is your abode’.
﴾لَمَّا أَتَاهَا نُودِيَ مِن شَاطِئِ الْوَادِ الْأَيْمَنِ فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ أَن يَا مُوسَىٰ إِنِّي أَنَا اللَّـهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٣٠
28:30 – “Falammaaa ataahaa noodiya min shaati’il waadil aimani fil buq’atil muubaarakati minash shajarati ai yaa Moosaaa inneee Anal laahu Rabbul ‘aalameen.” (Surat Al-Qasas)
“But when he came to it (fire), he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot – from the tree, “O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds.” (The Stories, 28:30)
One Hour of Contemplation is More Valuable Than 70 Years of Worship
What was given to Sayyidina Musa (as) was one time and that’s why Prophet ﷺ described, ‘No, there are people in my community these people of tafakkur. One hour of their tafakkur is like 70 years of worship for other people’ because they are continuously in that portal of the fire in which Allah (AJ) said, ‘This is a holy place and I am Allah (AJ)’.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: تَفَكُرْ سَاعَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ سَبْعِينْ سَنَةً
Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: “Tafakkur saa’atin khairun min ‘ibadati sab’yeen sanatan.”
The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “One hour of contemplation is more valuable than seventy years of worship.”
All Power of Holy Qur’an Comes From the Heart of Prophet ﷺ
Why? because this is the purified fire of the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. What Allah (AJ) swears by this fire now? Yeah, it’s heavy and long. Huh? “TaSeen tilka ayatul Qur’an” but the subject is TaSeen. They write in English very bad. ‘These are the verses of the Qur’an’ [Shaykh reads English translation]. No, that’s not what it says. Allah’s (AJ) swearing by TaSeen for us to understand what is TaSeen. It’s an ayah (verse) of Qur’an.
﴾طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿١
27:1 – “Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen.” (Surat al-Naml)
“Taa-Seen, These are verses of the Qur’an, and a Clear Book.” (The Ant, 27:1)
This fire you’re seeing is a sign of the Qur’an because the heart of Prophet ﷺ must be an immensely purified fire to represent the Divinely Speech of Allah (AJ). Manzil ul Qur’an (where the Holy Qur’an emanates), the Qur’an is coming out from the heart of Prophet ﷺ in the world of light. What type of fire is that heart? What type of purity is that heart that Allah (AJ) will speak through it continuously, continuously? Everything is the power of Qur’an is coming from the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
Prophet’s ﷺ Soul is the Clear Book of Allah (AJ)
So, Allah (AJ) is now swearing by it that, ‘This is ayatul Qur’an’. The fire, the one that has no mass is the sign of Qur’an and the light that you see of him ﷺ “Wal Kitab al Mubeen” (Clear Book). That Prophet’s ﷺ soul is the kitabullah; the clear book of Allah (AJ) – Kitab al Mubeen. It means that which you see is the Kitab al Mubeen, the Clear Book because the soul that you’re going into but the fire, it’s not created.
Allah’s (AJ) words are not created. It’s Allah’s (AJ) ancient words moving through a flame in the heart of Prophet ﷺ. That is a sign of Qur’an that you’re entering in now to the immense realities of Holy Qur’an. Entering into the heart of Prophet ﷺ is not something small. It can’t even be imagined and whom traversed that reality with their soul and their life is to enter into it and come back out to bring people back into it. Keep coming in and out of that fire, in out of that fire to bring people back, but these are not normal people.
Khawas Must Be Burned By the Reality of Divine Fire
They must be khawas (elite). They must be of a nature that only Allah (AJ) knows whom He created for that reality and why He created them for that reality. But the fire must touch them and they must be burned by its reality. That reality, when it burn you, ignites your reality. Others see the fire like a fire of jahannam (hellfire). ‘Oh, we’re not going to go there. If you go in that direction,’ no, no.
This fire is the fire of purity like the sun. The sun is the example of this reality. It illuminates and gives light. It nourishes and gives energies. They call heliocentric; they were so confused by the immense power of this reality, they used to worship it because they lost guidance and connection to awliya (saints).
Allah (AJ) is Beyond Our Understanding and the Only One Who is Worthy of Worship
So, awliya come and say, ‘No, no. No matter how great it is, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)’. Why we say Allahu Akbar in our salah (daily prayer)? Because we don’t know where we are in our salah, but Allahu Akbar is reference to wherever you’re entering. Allah (AJ) is greater. In every greatness that you are entering into this mi’raj (ascension), Allahu Akbar. That unimaginable, unimaginable realities of Allah (AJ) because you see the fire you…
If you didn’t know better, you think, ‘Oh, you’re going to start going and worshiping.’ Prophet ﷺ gave, ‘No, no, no. This is all beautiful. Allahu Akbar. Allah (AJ) is beyond our understandings and The only One Whom deserves worshipness.’ But what He gave as dress to this creation, to the reality of the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, not imaginable. We’re now talking about what Allah (AJ) wanted when He created a heart to represent Him and to bring out His Holy Qur’an and what we call Manzil ul Qur’an.
All Realities are Stored in the Holy Qur’an
We pray that Allah (AJ) give us sabr and patience to understand and a heart that can reach towards these contemplations because they meditate and contemplate and read a little slower. “TaSeen; tilka ayatul Qur’an wa Kitab al Mubeen”. That Prophet ﷺ is kitabullah – is the book of Allah (AJ) where all realities are stored.
﴾طس ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿١
27:1 – “Taa-Seeen; tilka Aayaatul Qur-aani wa Kitaabim Mubeen.” (Surat al-Naml)
“Taa-Seen, These are verses of the Qur’an, and a Clear Book.” (The Ant, 27:1)
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.
