Start Your Spiritual New Year With Good Deeds & Khidmat (Service)
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

Sha’ban is Packed with the Blessings of Holy Souls
InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) grant us from the lights of the holy month of Sha’ban coming in inshaAllah, tonight, tomorrow whenever this tajalli (manifestation) opens, alhamdulillah. That Allah (AJ) dress us from the holy month of Sha’ban and the month of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The month of immense lights and blessings. That Allah (AJ) filled within it the birth of Imam al-Hussain (as) – third, fourth, and fifth – Sayyidina Abbas (as), Imam Zainul Abideen (as). These holy souls, their life and their love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That Allah (AJ) dress us from the immensities of the month of Sha’ban with increasing our salawat (praises upon Prophet ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ), our Durood (praising on Prophet ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ), our good deeds, our charity. Everything to be granted these lights and love of Prophet ﷺ.
The Treasure of Rajab is Known in Sha’ban
Everything that in the month of Rajab was the birth of this light, this love that Allah (AJ) ‘A treasure wanting to be known.’ Alhamdulillah, by Allah (AJ) granting us to be in the tariqahs (spiritual path) and the way of ‘ashiqeen (lovers) that, that light is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. In which Allah (AJ), will been known and all creation coming from this light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. As a result, the holy month of Sha’ban is now the manifestation of that reality coming into its existence.
قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ 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]
15th of Sha’ban and Reality of Kalimah (Testimony)
On the 15th, which is the middle point from the beginning of Rajab to the end of Ramadan. It means the reality of the station of “La ilaha illAllah” – ‘ha,’ ‘hu’ – “Muhammadun Rasulallah 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.”
Like the kalimah coming together and this ocean from the ha of Allah (AJ), in which it touches into the meem of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. That from the oceans of La ilaha illAllah wanting to be known, coming to the point of “Qaaba qawsayni ad adna” and Allah (AJ) bringing the existence of this ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So just by its proximity, this energy and transference of qudra and power is an eternal dress.
فَكَانَ قَابَ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَىٰ ﴿٩﴾
53:9 – “Fakana qaaba qawsayni aw adna.” (Surat An-Najm)
“And was at a distance of two bow lengths or nearer [to the Divine Presence].” (The Star, 53:9)
Starting the Spiritual New Year with Good Deeds
As a result of the 15th of Laylatul Bara’ah (Night of Salvation) – Shab al Bara’ah means that there are so many secrets and realities in the manifestation of lights that are coming. That this is a spiritual new year in which lights are coming into existence and lights are going from existence. That this is a time in which Allah (AJ) will write the destinies upon these lights, the blessings upon these lights. This is our opportunity for immense blessings, immense oceans of realities and dressings. That we spend that in khair (good), in prayer and in charity and our zikr (Divine remembrance) and our salawat. So that Allah (AJ) write for us a good destiny.
15th of Sha’ban is the Holy Birthday of Imam Mahdi (as)
That Allah (AJ) write for us to be with Sayyidina Mahdi (as) whether with our physicality and our spirituality. That Allah (AJ) grant us from the wiladat and the birthday of Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mahdi (as) on the 15th of Sha’ban. That Allah (AJ) dress us and write for us to be from his ‘ashiqeen, muhibbin (lovers of the way) and those whom are ansar and supporters of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mahdi (as). The greatest support for Imam Mahdi (as) is good character. That Allah (AJ) grant us this good character, this ‘ishq, and this love within our heart and soul. So that we can serve within our body and within our light body, our soul and our realities. To be all of service to our lord and to be of service to His beloved Prophet – Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The immense blessings that come upon the Earth for guidance in times of difficulty and ignorance through the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mahdi (as).
In This Month of Blessings Draw Near to Divine Through Salawats
These are a month of immense blessings. In time of immense darkness and this reality of Durood Sharif that Allah (AJ) gave us such an immense gift. That by the praisings and salawat how much of our reality changes. How much of our reality is blessed and dressed from its infinite oceans of reality. That the presence of Prophet ﷺ, that we draw near to that reality. That this is our mi’raj (ascension) and a continuous mi’raj for the believer as Prophet ﷺ is in a continuous mi’raj.
Light of Heavens is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ
This is the reality of light. That this light and the science and the reality of light is not Allah (AJ). Allah (AJ) has no likeness. So, this is for the beginner’s mind thinking that God is the light of the heavens. But God is the eternal power that can’t be understood, and the light of the heavens is Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. As that light is ever expanding and is constantly in a speed that constantly expanding to the expansion in which Allah (AJ) is opening this creation. Allah (AJ) gave to us that if you want to move in that light and to have the mi’raj of that light, make your Durood Sharif. So means such an easy, easy gift Allah (AJ) gave to us to keep the presence of that light as it is continuously expanding and moving towards Allah (AJ).
It means that if this La ilaha illAllah is continuously expanding and moving away from being completely known and the light of Prophet ﷺ is infinitely moving in the speed to draw near. So means this station of “Qaaba qawsayni aw adna” (Holy Qur’an, 53:9) is infinitely expanding if people can understand because can’t be put into words. As a result of creation infinitely expanding and Prophet ﷺ infinitely moving at a constant speed of light. Allah (AJ) gave to us that when we make our Durood Sharif, you’ll be with whom you love.
عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: … فَقَالَ (رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ): ” أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ.” [اَلْمَصْدَرْ: مُسْلِمْ ٧٥٢٠ ]
‘An Anasin (ra): … Faqala (Rasulullahi) ﷺ: “Anta ma’a man ahbabta.”
Narrated Anas ibn Malik (ra) that …the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “You will be with whom you love.” [Source: Muslim 7520]
How Believers Can Access This Light of Heavens?
This is the immensity of power. This is the immensity of when we want more of those lights and more of those powers so simple. The believer takes out their buraq (noble mystical horse) which is their tasbih (prayer beads) and keep making “Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Sayyidina Muhammad” and infinite different salawats that have infinite different realities.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وسَلِّمْ.
“Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin wa ‘ala aali Sayyidina Muhammadin wa Sallim.”
“O Allah! Send Peace and blessings upon our master Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and upon the Family of our master Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)”
That each salawat, each Durood Sharif has infinite realities of lights and blessings and healings, and all powered in that ocean of reality. This Allah (AJ) gave as a great gift and a ni’mat (blessing) for the believer. When they don’t feel good, when they don’t feel like they have energy. When they don’t feel they have guidance, when they don’t feel they have a co-ordinance. When they don’t feel the light, when they don’t feel the love, its remedy is in Durood Sharif which is the highest form of zikrullah (remembrance of Allah (AJ)). Because “Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammad,” we are mentioning always Allah (AJ) first. So when people make comments, it seems like they don’t even know what Durood Sharif is. So the Durood Sharif, the salawat upon Prophet ﷺ, it starts with the word ‘Allah (AJ).’
Knowing Allah (AJ) Through the Ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ
So always our zikr (Divine remembrance) for Allah (AJ) is supreme. The Creator is Supreme, and that we praise and pray upon the reality of Prophet ﷺ. Because it is Allah (AJ) wanting to be known. That, ‘Did you realize this gift I gave to Creation? This best of character, this loving character, this loving guidance. This oceans of generosity. Did you find My hidden treasure within those lights?’ Allah (AJ) is a treasure wanting to be known, will be known for creation through the ocean of creation.
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]
Multiplying Light in the Month of Sha‘ban
The best of creation is the soul and the reality of Prophet ﷺ. As we draw with our salawats near into that ocean, and in the month of Sha’ban, even more blessings are coming. That’s why then they encourage then make more salawats to receive more of these lights, more of these blessings, more of these tajallis (manifestations). Then we go out and we do our charity, be generous, do our khidmat and our service, and propagate this light and this love. We talk with people all the time that how they came to this reality? [They reply] ‘Somebody sent me a video, somebody sent me a link, somebody sent me an article.’
Then we described so many times that if somebody comes through you into these oceans of guidance, into the oceans of Islam and the reality of Islam, which is the love of Prophet ﷺ. Imagine what Allah (AJ) going to give to you as a reward! But because in dunya (material world) everything is based on instant gratification. If somebody came and told you that, ‘Please if you share this article each share you would get $100 or $1,000 or $10,000,’ people would be sharing like crazy. Because the nature of dunya is that people want to see their reward, want to feel a tangible reward.
Why Sharing the Love of Prophet ﷺ Matters Most?
But the ocean of faith requires us just to believe. That when you share and when you share the articles, you share the videos, you share a post. You go to the AI, make a post, make sure that it is correct and that it is not propagating something incorrect or questionable. If it is ever questionable, just email us at helpme [[email protected]] and say, ‘Here is a copy, this answer didn’t seem right.’ So that our people can go and edit and make sure that everything is correct. But just sharing these realities and these teachings, these videos, these charity, everything. Imagine then somebody comes to guidance through that, that reward is dressed upon you. That reward is given to you like a bounty. That Allah (AJ) say, ‘I’m going to give this servant who came to realities more than the any of the treasures of earth.’
When somebody comes to the way of Islam and comes to the real way of Islam which is the love of Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) describes, ‘I forgive all their sins and the rewards that come to them, not all the treasures of the earth could be balanced against that reward.’ Because that person comes now towards eternity. For all of eternity they reach the palaces within the heavens. Not regular palaces, but the proximities of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to eat and to pray and to live in the presence of Prophet ﷺ with our light reality. With the Holy Companions, Holy Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ), holy awliyaullah (saints) fis samayi wa fil ard (in the heavens and on earth). Whom are all with nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhada (witnesses), wa saliheen (righteous), and Allah (AJ) is with them for all of eternity.
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)
In a Muslim’s Life Propagation of Religion is Mandatory
That’s achieved by entering into into the deen (religion) and entering into the tariqah. That just by somebody sharing a click. We don’t know what video they watched, what article they read, what short reel they read, what charity they gave to. That Allah (AJ) opens their heart and their blessings, and the one whom propagated that took that reward. Allah (AJ) give to them an immense bounty that, ‘From what I’m going to give this servant I’m also going to give you from your bounty for your khidmat and your service for guiding.’
That’s why in a Muslim’s life da’wah is mandatory – propagation of the religion is mandatory. Our life is to spread the word, the good word, and by good character, by good example. We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us this himmah (zeal) and grant us this reward. Ya Rabbi if You have these servants out there that You want to bring to tariqah grant us that reward, grant us those treasures. That let our teachings to reach to them, let the teachings of our shaykhs to reach to them. The love and the muhabbat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to reach to them. Grant us that ‘ajer and that reward, so that Allah’s (AJ) ni’mat and blessings come to us, our families, and our community.
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.
