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)

Holy Birthday of Sayyidina Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q)

Today is the beatific day of wiladat (birth) of Sayyidina Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q), the birthday of Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q). We try our best in life to represent the Naqshbandiya tul Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order) tariqah (spiritual path). On his noble birthday, we entered into the masjid of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as). That is not a coincidence in life – nothing in our life is a coincidence. Everything is under Allah’s (AJ) rahmah and immense mercy. Out of the 40 turuq (spiritual paths) from holy heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Naqshbandiya tul Aliya is the only one from Sayydina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as). So alhamdulillah we feel so honored to be under that invitation. That, we’re nothing. Ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that He keeps me alive. He granted for me to walk in to masjid of Sayydina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as) built with that love and that ‘ishq. To honor and celebrate the birthday of Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q) with your community with yourselves. It is a great honor for us.

Accepting Divine Will and Walking the Path to Higher Realities

Our live has been miraculous events, miraculous occasions. We just have to open our hearts and our vision to see them, to feel them and to know there is no coincidence. Everything is planned by Allah (AJ) and we’ve to stop in our lives to feel the plan. The tariqahs, I know that many people come to masjid and they say that, ‘What are you people?’ We’re muslim people. So let us first make sure we understand that we are Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah (People of Prophetic Tradition and of the Majority).

Shari’ah (Divine Law), common people, is the foundation. All of us must abide by shari’ah. Don’t listen to the people of fitna (confusion) and the groups of fitna that they make confusion. Our life, its foundation is shari’ah. But that didn’t mean you achieved high levels. Shari’ah means that you accepted Divine Law in your life – and what we call natural law. You can’t change which way the sun is going to rise, how the atoms are going to spin – nothing. Allah’s (AJ) Divine governance is shari’ah. When you accept it, you are somebody who is accepting Divine will. But there is more. Above shari’ah is tariqah. That you’re taking a path towards knowing your Lord with all your senses. That you want, ‘Ya Rabbi, I want to achieve a higher station, higher realities.’

Reality of Wudu (Ablution) – From Shari’ah to Tariqah

The laws of tariqah, they abide by all of shari’ah. Because people want to understand where we’re different. We’re not different. We actually go higher. We all have to make wudu, wudu. We all have to cover our heads. It is shari’ah. You can’t do anything without the shari’ah. Not one person of Naqshbandiya can enter into here without wudu. But tariqah comes and teaches higher. Why? Because its foundation are from awliya (saints). These awliya, they live their life in malakut (heavenly realm), in the world of light. We live our life in the world of form, and forget that we have a light reality. The light reality has a much higher understanding.

When we follow these awliya, they come to lift us from the shari’ah, ‘Now come towards the realities of tariqah.’ So shari’ah, everyone has to wash to come through this door. But the tariqah and the awliya come into our lives and teach us: But what did you wash for your soul? Everybody came, now hopefully they washed before they sat down. Your hands are clean, mashAllah, feet are nice and fresh. You washed your face, cleaned your nose, washed your ears, hands, wet your hair.

Awliya Teach About the Wudu of the Soul

But tariqah comes and said, ‘How did you wash your soul?’ Did you come in here with a heart that has been washed? Or just body washed? So for us, the body is like a donkey. The fact that you washed your donkey, doesn’t mean you achieved much. Your donkey is clean. But what goes back to Allah (AJ)? The donkey? Because you’re going to have your final wash, when they do the ghusl (ritual purification), when they do the janaza (funeral prayer). But then what about the soul? What about the heart? Then awliya come into our lives and say, ‘You didn’t really accomplish much.’ Don’t think that you accepted shari’ah, now all in heavens is going to send you a reward. There is so much more. What’s more? It is tariqah realities. They come and teach you, “Zikrullahi tatma’innul Qulob.”

(٢٨) الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللَّـهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّـهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

13:28 – “Alladheena amano wa tatma’innu Qulobu hum bidhikrillahi, ala bi dhikrillahi tatma’innul Qulob.” (Surat Ar-Ra’d)

“Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah. For without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction.” (The Thunder, 13:28)

When Shaitan (Satan) is Inside, Only Outer Washing isn’t Enough

That what do you do to wash your heart? What do you do to wash your soul? If you washed your body and believed you got shaitan off your body. Because we’ve sat with big ‘ulama (scholars), we’re nobody, we’re like the donkey of these ‘ulama. You washed everything great, but don’t you believe the Qur’an tells us: shaitan is inside of you. When you washed outside, the shaitan is still inside. He didn’t get scared of the water you put on the outside of your body.

So then many people, they don’t understand the shaitan is inside of them. When they come for salah (daily prayer), nothing happens. Because the shaitan inside is pushing everything down. They make du’a (supplication). The du’a, how is going to go up when shaitan is inside somebody? Dirtiness inside somebody? It doesn’t go up and the du’a stays. So all the ‘amal (action) is based on what? It is not finished. It is like kindergarten. But shaitan fools us to think, ‘No, no, that’s it. Don’t listen to these people of ma’rifah (Gnosticism). You have everything.’ Absolutely you have nothing.

Shaitan Within Invites the Shaitan Outside

You washed the body, shaitan is inside. The shaitan inside calls the shaitan outside. That’s why you can’t relieve yourself of problems. Anger, all sorts of difficulties. Say, ‘I washed Shaykh, I prayed, but shaitan is not leaving.’ How he is going to leave when he is inside of you? The shaitan inside of you calls the shaitan outside of you: ‘Hey, come, we’re having party here now. I’m going to open the door at six o’clock.’ Right? If you have somebody in your house, and he keeps inviting everybody you don’t want in your home. That’s tariqah. Awliya came into our lives and they taught us: there is so much… Why are you telling me that zikr (Divine remembrance) is innovation? Why are you telling me these ways of ma’rifah is innovation? Why? Because you work for shaitan. Shaitan doesn’t like these teachings.

But if you accompany the people of Ar Rahman (The Most Compassionate), they tell you, ‘No, zikrullah (remembrance of Allah (AJ)) is the most powerful weapon you have. If you washed your body, Alhamdulillah. Sahabi Kiram (Honorable Companions of Prophet ﷺ), they washed with a cup of water. They didn’t make shower every time they went in wudu station. Now you go to wudu, you come out completely wet to prove – he has washed himself.

Zikrullah is the Most Powerful Weapon Against Shaitan

They [Companions (as)] washed with less than a cup of water. It wasn’t about the water. It was a secret. Because the mai (water) has power. A little bit of the water and the outside shaitans are gone. But the wudu inside was the zikr. What’s Allah’s (AJ) zikr from Qur’an? “InnAllaha wa malayikatahu yusalluna ‘alan Nabi ﷺ.” That’s it. You want to do it, you don’t want to do it, we don’t care.

(٥٦) إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً

33:56 – “InnAllaha wa malayikatahu yusalluna ‘alan Nabiyi yaa ayyuhal lazina aamanu sallu ‘alayhi wa sallimu taslima.” (Surat Al-Ahzab)

“Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet [Muhammad (pbuh)]: O you who believe! Ask Allah (AJ) to send blessings upon him, and you too salute him with all reverence and respect.” (The Combined Forces, 33:56)

Salawat an-Nabi ﷺ (Praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and the Wudu of Soul

Allah’s (AJ) zikr is “Yusalluna ‘alan Nabi, ﷺ, innaAllahi.” So what’s Allah’s (AJ) zikr? It is not ‘Allah (AJ).’ Allah (AJ) doesn’t need to remember Allah (AJ). So what’s the most powerful zikr that Allah (AJ) has given as a weapon to believers? Salawat an-Nabi ﷺ. So when you say, “Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala aali Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ,” you mentioned Allah (AJ).

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)”

Allah (AJ) first came in that salawat and Durood Sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). This is a power. This is a weapon. When you weaponize your soul and give it power, you’re a threat to shaitan and shaitanic kingdom. So means your soul has power. You make Durood Sharif, this is wudu of the soul and of the heart. You take your tasbih (prayer beads) hundred times a day, “Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ wa ‘ala aali Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ wa ‘ala aali Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.” Then the shaykhs begin to teach you: slow your life down. Why are you going so fast? Sit and make tafakkur and contemplation. Soon as you sit, close your eyes, visualize yourself at the holy Ka’bah. Make your Durood Sharif. This is the most important wudu that somebody can make.

Washing the Inside and Bringing the Heart to Life

Soon as they begin to wash, they feel a heat in their bodies. They feel an agitation. They email, ‘Shaykh, I don’t know, as soon as I’m beginning salawats, I’m getting angry.’ Yes, because when you have a squatter in your home. California now has problem with squatters, they don’t leave happily. Even the sheriff won’t help you. Sharif. Where they got this sheriff from? Sharif – means he is a noble from Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). You have to call this Sharif, not sheriff.

Soon as you call this Sharif, what happens? They begin to teach you, ‘Yes, fight those shaitans. Make your Durood, make your salawat. You washed your body, sit and meditate. Make your Durood Sharif. Make your salawat.’ You begin to feel the heat and the heart comes alive by zikrullah. As soon as the heart begins to come alive, you feel the activity of shaitan inside. That’s a good sign. It means now you’ve come in to take these squatters, throw them out. ‘Shaykh, I spent 10, 15, 20 years just washing outside. Praying all my namaz (daily prayer), coming for Fajr (Dawn prayer), doing all these things. But I never washed inside.’ This is the most important washing. Most important.

Key for the Believer in the Time of Dajjal (Man of Deceit)

We’re now in the time of dajjal. Dajjal is upon this earth. Soon he is going to come and give his name and his identity. His khalifas (representatives) have already been appointed all over the world. Leaders appear out of nowhere. Say, ‘We don’t know, we didn’t even vote for this guy.’ We don’t know where he came from. Anything that dajjal is going to propagate, he is going to say, ‘We’re all in common with “La ilaha illAllah” (there is no deity but Allah (AJ)).’ But we’re not. We have nothing to do with that. The key for the believer is what? We just described the power for the believer.

The key that separates you from dajjal is “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.” If they come and tell you, ‘Come with us. We are from the people of La ilaha illAllah.’ Say, ‘You’re a kazzab and a liar. I want nothing to do with you or what you think that is. I’m from the nation of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.’ That is the key of belief. That’s what separates us from all of this mushrikeen (polytheists). They’re not the same. There is no Abrahamic accord. There is nothing of any similarity. They are mushrikeen. They’re taking men and saying they are god. If they haven’t said it, they will say it. They’re waiting for men and they will call those men god. But by then it is too late, people will follow.

The Sun will Rise from the West

The greatest gift that Allah (AJ) has given to us is the love for Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. This is our key. The tariqahs, they represent this ‘ishq and love and muhabbat. They hold it and secure it. If the nation traded it and gave it away, the tariqahs hold the covenant and the honor. They safeguard that reality. Don’t look to the east, because ‘Come to ya habibi,’ they sold the deen, they sold the religion. They have nothing to do with this religion. They sold it.

So what Prophet ﷺ gave to us? In the last days, the sun would rise from the west. The sun in the way of ma’rifah is ishraqiyoon. Mashariq, magharib. We don’t have east and west. Either you’re rising sun or you’re setting sun. Maghrib, magharib? What? The sun has set on them. That’s why you look at them and they left Islam. They sold Islam. They were hoping that they could just get rid of this whole understanding of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and they could just blend in with everything else. Then what Allah (AJ) gave us through this holy hadith as our responsibility? Prophet ﷺ told the Companions (as), ‘The sun will rise from the west.’

عن أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ َ: ” لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا، ُ…” [روى البخاري ٤٦٣٥ ومسلم ١٥٧]

‘An Abi Hurairah (ra) qal, Qala Rasulullah ﷺ “La Taqomu Sa’atu hatta tatlu’a ash Shamsu min Maghribeha, … “ 
[Al Bukhari 4535 & Muslim 157]

Abu Hurairah (ra) Narrated that: Allah’s Messenger (pbuh) said, “The hour will not be established until the sun rises from the West, …” [Narrated by Al Bukhari 4535 & Muslim 157]

This is your amanat and your trust. That Prophet ﷺ mentioned you. Is there any more west than west coast? Unless we take a boat and we go to the ocean more.

The West will Revive What the East Gave Away

So means that you’ve been mentioned by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That the ishraqiyoon and the ones in the deen (religion) that hold the secret of this deen and whom will be shining like stars. Like suns of reality and light, they’ll come from the west. Because the east closed the door. There is nothing coming from the east. The knowledges and realities must come from the west and shine upon the east and make them remember what they traded and gave away. What they sold, the west has bought to bring the deen of Islam and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They safeguard the deen and the key with the ‘ishq (love) and the muhabbat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. This is the immense responsibility that Allah (AJ) has given to us all. Because we’re all in the west.

This is your goal in life. Many people sit at home, ‘I don’t know what to do, purpose in my life.’ You have an immense purpose. Prophet ﷺ mentioned you because you’ve been destined to be raised in the west. Prophet ﷺ said that the sun would rise. Reality of awliya come and say, the sun is the knowledges and realities. The ‘ashiqeen (lovers) and muhibbin (lovers of the way) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ would rise from the west. Where it is now banned in the east. The beard is banned in the east. The sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) is banned in the east. The turban is banned in the east. But we are Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah. Not Ahlul Fard (People of Obligatory actions). Ahlus Sunnah.

Carrying the Sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is the Greatest Honor

So means Allah (AJ) gave us the responsibility to carry the sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. This is your greatest honor. This is your greatest purpose in life. When you grow your beard, this is the sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When you have a ring, this is the sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. When you have ‘asaa (cane), this is the sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah is not something you just say so that you can argue with somebody who is not that. It is not a noun. It is an action. What part of Ahlus Sunnah are we if we don’t carry the holy sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and show our love, our ‘ishq, our muhabbat (love), our good character?

Especially now if we believe what the shaykhs are teaching that this is the key, this is the key for akhlaaq and good character. Why? Because Prophet’s ﷺ rahmah and mercy teaches people how to be loving. How to be respectful, how to be correct and how to be positive. As a result, this noble sunnah begins to dress the servant, bless the servant. They sit and begin to do their zikrs, they do their salawat, they do their awrads (daily practices) and etiquettes. As they wash their physicality, they know that washing inside is far more important, far more powerful. Wash just a little bit very quick on the outside. Sayyidina Ibn Arabi (Q) said, ‘Wash like a madman.’ Just [quickly wash], get out of the bathroom. There is no business in there spending so much time. But come out and sit on your zikr and wash the inside.

Nurul Iman (The Light of Faith) – Loving Prophet ﷺ More Than Anything Else

Sit down, make your connection, connecting your heart, making your zikr, making your salawat. So that you can feel that light, feel that love. That Allah (AJ) begin to put within the heart of the servant, a nur (light). That nur is the light of faith. That light of faith is the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. What did Prophet ﷺ say to Sayyidina Umar al Farooq (as)? That what was faith? ‘Ya Umar (as), you have to love me more than you love yourself.’

وَعَنْ عُمَرَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: فَوَجَدْتُ نَفْسِي أَقُولُ: وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ! فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَالِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ ﷺ: ” أَكْثَرَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ يَا عُمَرُ؟” قَالَ: لَا.

فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: “لَا يَا عُمَرُ، لَا يَكْمُلُ إِيمَانُكَ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ”.

يَقُولُ عُمْرٌعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَفَكَّرْتُ. ثُمَّ عُدْتُ أَهْتَفُ بِهَا: وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ نَفْسِي. فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ: ” اَلْآنُ يَا عُمَرُ اَلْآنَ” [ صَحِيحُ الْبُخَارِيِّ، الْمَجْلَدُ الرَّابِعُ، رَقْمُ الْحَدِيثِ ٥٩٤]

Wa ‘an ‘Umar (as) qala: “Fawajadtu nafsi aqoolo: Wallahi ya Rasulullahi, inni uhibbuka!
Faqala lahu anNabiyu ﷺ: “Akthara min ahlika ya ‘Umar?” Qultu: Na’am. Qala ﷺ: “Akthara min malika ya ‘Umar?”, Qultu: Na’am. Qala ﷺ: “Akthara min nafsika ya ‘Umar?”, Qala: La.

Faqala anNabiyu ﷺ: “La ya ‘Umar, la yakmulu imanoka hatta akuna ahabba ilayka min nafsika.”
Yaqoolo ‘Umar (as): Fakhrajtu fafakkartu. Thumma ‘udtu ahtafu biha: Wallahi ya Rasulullahi la anta ahabbu ilayya min nafsi. Faqala anNabiyu ﷺ: “Alan ya ‘Umar, alan.” [Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Majladu al-Rabi’o, raqm al-hadith 594]

Narrated by Sayyidina ‘Umar (as) that he said: “I found myself saying, ‘By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I love you!’ The Prophet (pbuh) said to him, ‘Is it more than your love for your family, O ‘Umar?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He (pbuh) said, ‘Is it more than your love for your wealth, O ‘Umar?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘Is it more than your love for yourself, O ‘Umar?’ He said, ‘No.’

The Prophet (pbuh), said, ‘No, O ‘Umar, your faith will not be complete until I become more beloved to you than your own self.’ Sayyidina ‘Umar (as) said: So I went out and thought. Then I returned and shouted, ‘By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, you are more beloved to me than myself.’ The Prophet (pbuh) said, ‘Now, O ‘Umar, now [you got it].’ [Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Hadith #594]

How can we love someone more than we love ourself if we’re filled with ourself? So that Durood, that salawat, that ‘ishq, fills us with the muhabbat and the ‘ishq of good character. Our heart becomes filled with the lights of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. So that the self goes away and that, ‘Ana abdukal ‘ajeez, wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl, I’m nothing. But Ya Rabbi fill me with this light, this beatific light of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.’

Iman is An Event, Not Just a Word

That becomes nurul iman. It is an event. It is not somebody telling you, ‘Brother you have iman.’ It is not that. Iman is an event. You will know when Allah (AJ) gives you iman because you will witness in your heart a light entering. Allah (AJ) will make sure that you witness that light. As a result you become from Ahlul Iman (people of faith) on your way to Maqamul Ihsan (Station of Moral Excellence). These are the people whom they close their eyes often, they make their tafakkur, they make their contemplation, and they build the spiritual lights within their realities.

From Shari’ah to ‘Azimah (Determination): The Journey Deeper into The Divine Reality

We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us a deeper understanding and that’s who we represent. For people wondering, ‘Who are you? What did you want here today?’ Was to spread this love. That the tariqah is above shari’ah. That is – come to teach you and from the shari’ah we go now into ma’rifah. In ma’rifah up to haqiqah (reality) and from haqiqah to ‘azimah. In which the himmat ar-rijal (zeal of the people of maturity), they can move a mountain with the amount of faith they have. So standing at the base is not achievement. But to go deeper into the reality is why Allah (AJ) gave us this existence on this earth. So we are here today to represent that love. In our life to try our best to represent the love and the ‘ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ through the teachings of Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya, qaddas Allahu sirrahu, to these awliyaullah and Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q). We pray for their madad, their support and that Allah (AJ) be pleased with us and give our hearts a deeper understanding, inshaAllah.

The Most Powerful Worship of Love is Salawat Upon Prophet ﷺ

InshaAllah the most important worshipness out of ‘ishq and muhabbat. It means the fards (obligatory worship) and the salah but the servant who enters into acts of worshipness that are based on love. The most powerful act of love is zikrullah – Majlis e sali alan Nabi ﷺ (association of praising upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). Why? They say, ‘Why are you guys sitting and reciting, reciting when it is time for salah?’ Because as soon as you sit to remember and to make zikr, to make salawat upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ what happens? The one who has the best and most beatific character means that the presence of Prophet ﷺ becomes present to give you back your greetings.

So when beatific birds of paradise gather to praise upon the most beloved in all of creation. The one who has the most beatific character – khuluq, means the ruhaniyat (spiritual presence) of Prophet ﷺ must be present in those majlis (association). To give back the greeting to people, and that’s why it is powerful.

Truthful Frequencies Crush the Darkness of Shaitan

Your salah doesn’t guarantee that. Allah (AJ) didn’t say that as soon as you pray we’re going to be right there and take away all your difficulty. That you do because it is mandatory but where you get your reward is when you do something out of love. As soon as you sit in the majlis with sincerity Ruhaniyatun Nabi ﷺ (Spirituality of the Prophet (pbuh)) becomes present. The nazar (gaze) of Prophet ﷺ upon the souls of people immediately wash all their souls of every difficulty and every sin. What stands in the presence of that light? How much that dress and the blessing of the soul of Prophet ﷺ to dress upon people!

That’s why the majlis of this love and this ‘ishq is so powerful, something that people can’t understand. But now science understands. They say raise your vibration. So why you listen to bad music? Why? Because it sounds good. No! It is because the devil wants to bring you down. When he brings your vibration down he can enter in. But what Allah (AJ), “Qul jaa alhaqqu” – ‘Tell them that when the truth comes it will crush falsehood.’

(٨١) وَ قُلْ جَآءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَطِلُ، إِنَّ الْبَطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

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)

Play Salawats in Your Home and Cleanse It with Angelic Light

So when you vibrate at a truthful frequency with your Durood your salawat your zikr, it is an angelic light. That immediately begin to crush all of the falsehood of shaitan. So you play salawats in your home, get the cds, get whatever ability you can. You play the Durood the salawat all of these praisings. To clean the home from energies from the television and the radio stations and the music that the children are listening to. You clean it with Durood Sharif because of the angelic light and the angelic powers inshaAllah.

We’ll do some of our which page 19 from our salawat book anybody downloaded our app [Muhammadan Way App]. The app has over 50,000 users worldwide. You go into the app section for the Durood and the salawat book on the arabic salawat book page 19 inshaAllah. We’ll do a couple of the Arabic and then our Urdu. I don’t know if the afghanis understand Urdu. Abdullah will recite some afghani he is been practicing.

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.
