The Jinn Mirage: Only 1% Of Human Population is really Human?! Q&A
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.
A’uzu Billahi Minash 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
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.
Question 1: By focusing on Jesus and not the Christian religion I came to the realization that Jesus is Sufi. I was brought up in Christianity, but left it years ago, but I always loved Jesus. Now I am interested in Sufism sincerely. I want to know more.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Alhamdulillah that anytime somebody is sincere and seeking and when they have a sincere seeking within their heart, then inshaAllah Allah (AJ) guides them to a completion. So anybody wants, they can look on Amazon and the ‘Levels of The Heart’ [book], the heart is the house of God.
So if what we say is true, the house of God should be mentioning all His prophets (as). Look to the book and that’s the teaching from these awliya (saints). That your heart if you want it to be the house of God, has to love all the prophets (as) because each prophet (as) has a secret for us. This not New Age and this is not New Age da’wah (religious propagation). This is actual reality of the heart.
-
- That the Prophet Adam (as) has to come to you and teach you that we are a being for knowledge because he achieved knowledges from the Divinely Presence.
- The Prophet Noah (as) has to come to us to achieve faith. Everyone has a ship to build on this Earth. So nobody escapes it. Nobody has an easy way. Everybody has to build a ship. Either you’re building it through hardship, ‘hard-ship,’ because it’s a ‘hard’ ‘ship’ so that you could traverse this Earth and the floods of ignorance that will come. So that’s Sayyidina Nuh (as), Sayyidina Noah’s (as) gift for us. He must come and must come to your heart and begin to teach you.
- Then Sayyidina Abraham (as) comes and that’s the whole understandings of Hajj (pilgrimage) and the father of faith, and all of the examples of faith and what we call tabarak (blessings). That all these symbolisms and the blessings of these symbolisms and rituals, that when you do them with knowledge, they have an immense reality for you.
- That the Prophet Musa (as) – Moses (as) to come and to teach that don’t hold on to dunya (material world) and run to the Promised Land. All of the realities that Sayyidina Musa (as) represents which are immense, again, in the fighting of your dunya desire and moving towards the good character and the Divinely kingdom.
- Then Sayyidina Isa (as) who has a immensely blessed origin. As a result is an ethereal nature in which how to leave the Earth and ascend into the heavens. The ascension of Sayyidina Isa (as) was essential. That, the Earth and the inhabitants of Earth have no way to kill him. Had they killed him, then the ascension of men would have not been possible! Because then God would have given priority to devils to kill saintly people, pious people. But he plays a significant role. ‘Alayhis salaam – peace and blessings be upon his immense soul in the ascension. That no matter what the Earth wants, and the inhabitants of the Earth that the one whom God is pleased with must be able to ascend.
The ascension into the heavens and the ability of people to ascend into the heavens is an essential role that Sayyidina Isa (as) has to come to teach us. That how to, once you’ve left all these, how to contemplate and how to meditate, how to enter into God’s kingdom. And that’s why his prayer and there’s a equivalent in Islamic prayer is, ‘Thy kingdom come’.
“…Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” – The Lord’s Prayer
Whose kingdom? Allah’s (AJ) kingdom is coming and His Will should always be done on Earth. And that’s an immense reality. That if we want God’s kingdom, we have to bring His kingdom into our heart here on Earth.
So if you look around, say who’s slightly giving the example of God’s kingdom? Then look at the people whom are pious, whom they abstain from bad things, they abstain from drinking, from smoking, from improper character, improper activities. They’re trying to enact God’s kingdom so then those must be examples of God’s kingdom on Earth. As a result, Sayyidina Isa (as) teaching us, ‘Bring God’s kingdom into your heart. If you bring it, you’ll be given ascension into the heavens.’ And that their ethereal nature and the power of their soul to open for them to see God’s kingdom. They park the physical body and through the reality of the soul God opens their heart, opens their hearing, opens their seeing through the power of their soul and enters into that kingdom into the presence of the king.
That king is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ who then annihilates all bad character and that to come into the presence of the kingdom as nothing. It means once you lift off, it’s not over, that’s just the beginning into the kingdom. Once you enter into the kingdom, the presence of Prophet ﷺ has to come to teach the servant ‘You’re nothing.’ They don’t care you’re a prophet (as), you’re a saint, you’re a pauper, you’re a rich person. You have to be nothing entering in the kingdom.
So that’s why all the prophets (as) when they came to the presence of Prophet ﷺ, they had to lose their title. Sayyidina Musa (as) – Moses peace and blessings be upon him he had to lose his title, and he was sent into the presence of Sayyidina Khidr (as) who continuously testing and humiliating. Why? ‘That your title and your prophecy is not needed here. Because you’re now entering into the presence of a king. And you would take your turban and check it at the door and now you come to us as nothing.’ And he went through that whole trial and tribulation with Sayyidina Khidr (as) to prove his worthiness to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
So these are immense realities of the levels of the heart, and that to enter the stations of annihilation. Everyone must enter into that presence of Prophet ﷺ to be mahidh dhunub (eraser of sins) because that’s Shafa’at al Kubra (The Great Intercession). So the shari’ah (Divine law) people want to say, ‘Where’s that in shari’ah.’ Say, ‘Shafa’at al Kubra.’ ‘Kubra’ the ‘grand intercession’ that is Sahih Hadith, in which on the last day, on the Judgement Day, all nations’ people will run to their prophets (as) and ask, ‘Oh Adam (as) please help us.’ And he says, ‘I cannot help you for I have sinned, I came onto this earth, I made a sin. Let us go to Noah (as), let us go to Ibrahim (as), let us go to Musa (as), let us go to Sayyidina Isa (as).’ Until all the Prophets (as) take all their nations into the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. If that’s going to happen physically, you don’t think it’s already happening spiritually? Because Allah (AJ) doesn’t have time.
So means of course, when you hear of a physical event happening, it must be continuously happening in the world of light. It means each prophet (as) must be coming to Prophet ﷺ and admitting their nothingness and that Prophet ﷺ must pray for them. That, that prayer is what gains them access into their paradise realities. That’s why Allah (AJ) states in Qur’an that, ‘If you,’ to the Prophets (as), ‘If you came in the time of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, you have to accept his prophecy’ and ‘wa qalo bala’ and all the nations said, ‘Yes, we would.’
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّينَ لَمَا آتَيْتُكُم مِّن كِتَابٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُ ۚ قَالَ أَأَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَىٰ ذَٰلِكُمْ إِصْرِي ۖ قَالُوا أَقْرَرْنَا ۚ قَالَ فَاشْهَدُوا وَأَنَا مَعَكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ ﴿٨١﴾
3:81 – “Wa iz akhazal laahu meesaaqan Nabiyyeena lamaaa aataitukum min Kitaabinw wa Hikmatin summa jaaa’akum Rasoolum musaddiqul limaa ma’akum latu’minunna bihee wa latansurunnah; qaala a’aqrartum wa akhaztum alaa zaalikum isree qaalooo aqrarnaa; qaala fashhadoo wa ana ma’akum minash shaahideen.” (Surat Aali Imran)
Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: “I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help.” Allah said: “Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?” They said: “We agree.” He said: “Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.” (Family of Imran, 3:81)
That’s why then Prophet ﷺ was sent to them on Isra wal Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension). He was sent into Jerusalem to the presence of 124,000 prophets (as) of God. They prayed behind Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, they gave their tashahhud (testimony of faith) and they bear witness that there is nothing but Allah (AJ) and that Muhammadun is Rasulullah ﷺ. As a result entered they into the nation of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. If all the prophets (as) entered, all their nations entered. So means that the only religion on Earth and in the heavens and throughout this universe is Islam. So alhamdulillah glad tidings for all those who understood those realities, inshaAllah.
إِنَّ الدِّيْنَ عِنْدَ اللهِ الإِسْلاَمُ…﴿١٩﴾
3:19 – “Innad deena ‘indAllahil Islam.” (Surat Ali-Imran)
“The religion with God is Islam [Submission]…” (Family of Imran, 3:19)
Question 2: Sayyidi from yesterday’s lecture, what is the ra in naar (fire)?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: These are the Rubbubiya (Lordship), Arbaab. It means that they’re lights. Right? So the nur has a waw for the Rab (Lord).
Everything has to do with the ‘Ulul Amr’ (saints) means that these are the people of the Rab, Rabbaniyoon – these are of the lordly souls. Either they’re receiving just a waw. So, with love is reflecting upon them so they become nurani (luminous). But if they enter into the presence of the ‘izzat and might which is a alif, is a Divine fire within the reality of Prophet ﷺ then what happens? That, that noon and that light when it hits that alif, is a fire coming out of that Rab. As a result it’s not like the other stations. This is a very powerful light coming from Prophet ﷺ, inshaAllah. That alif is what we are in need of to reach towards the ‘izzat and might. That’s the ‘izzatur Rasul (honour of the Messenger).
So alif at the end is ‘Izzatullah (Allah’s (AJ) Might and Magnificence). The alif in the naar is ‘izzatur Rasul and the alif after the seen is ‘izzatul mumineen (honour of the believers) like we described. You have to go to the people of might whom Allah (AJ) dress. ‘Izzatur Rasul, ‘Izzatullah, ‘izzatur Rasul, ‘izzatul mumineen.
وَلِلَّهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ… ﴿٨﴾
63:8 – “…Wa Lillahil ‘izzatu wa li Rasooli hi wa lil Mumineen…” (Surat Al-Munafiqoon)
“…And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His messenger, and to the believers…” (The Hypocrites, 63:8)
You have to go to them. So Allah (AJ) has them in this kalimah, in the word ‘insan’ and only through that ‘izzah – that might can change that reality and bring them deeper into that reality, inshaAllah. Said, nobody can decide that they’re going to reach towards Allah (AJ) if they’re just a noon, so they have to traverse the system of guidance. Nobody can come and say, ‘I’m going to be a moon.’ Right? Say, ‘I’m going to make a ship like a moon. I’m going to put it where the moon is and I’m now going to follow the orbit of the sun.’ As a matter of fact, if you tried to do that, the orbit and the gravity would either throw you in or throw you out.
So how it stays on a perfect orbit moving in the way that Allah (AJ) has destined to it, then is Allah’s (AJ) miracles. Had you tried to imitate it with a ship and say, ‘I’m going to now fly in that orbit.’ Either the orbit of the Earth will suck you in and crash you or the orbit of the planet will spit you out into space. You don’t have the choice to follow and traverse that orbit. So these are guidance from Allah (AJ). It’s not the ability for people to lift themself and take themself into that reality. Allah (AJ) wants them to follow these paths of guidance inshaAllah, but Allah’s (AJ) free to do whatever He wants if He makes an exception, inshaAllah.
Question 3: Thank you for this enlightened teaching. What happens to the students who are progressing slowly? Would the Ulul Amr help speed up the process for the students to reach their secrets?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, everybody progresses at the speed that God has given to them based on their circumstances, their life, their work, everything. As long as the servant is sincere then Allah (AJ) dress them, bless them, teach them through their meditation, teach them through their sleep, teach them through everything. So it’s based on how sincere the servant is and how much zeal they have in wishing to accomplish these realities.
So the Heavenly Kingdom is something that is immense and can’t be understood nor can it be limited. Those whom try to limit is not correct in their belief system. That there are people whom Allah (AJ) can take them at night and traverse them through all these knowledges and all these realities. Then their physicality they don’t have time to achieve that, Allah (AJ) will take them through their spirituality. So it means these are you know Allah’s (AJ) not limited by anything. So when we say ‘Allahu Akbar’ (Allah is the Greatest), Allah (AJ) can do anything, but it requires for us just to be sincere. That, ‘Ya Rabbi I’m sincere, I’m trying but You see I’m busy with this, I’m busy with all these things. Open a way for me to achieve.’ Just on their sincerity, Allah (AJ) can send anything, anything.
The mind can’t even contemplate all the examples on how Allah (AJ) can raise that servant in an instant. But it’s based on, ‘I’ll be sincere, I’m going to struggle the best that I can and when Allah (AJ) wants to grant me a victory, Allah (AJ) will grant it at whatever time that He feels necessary.’ Things are unfolding very quickly on the Earth. So those events on the earth, by its own nature will cleanse many people. They won’t be able to imagine what this Earth what they’ll be seeing. Those have their own cleansing. So by means of those difficulties, many will be brought into a state of cleansing, state of annihilation and then the state of realities inshaAllah.
Question 4: Sayyidi can you please explain again how Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q) zikr (Divine remembrance) of Hu over the sir (secret) of insan connects to the naar of Muhammad Rasulallah ﷺ?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: I don’t think that’s what we said. That’s why you have to take notes. That this reality of insan (mankind) was taught by Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q). So he’s the teacher of ilm e huroof (knowledge of letters). As a result of teaching that reality, that He also holds one of the other realities – the secret of the zikr of Hu upon the pearls of creation. The pearl of everyone whom has these realities, has a pearl in which what does Surah Rahman describe of the oceans? Surah Rahman is the ocean of rahmah and mercy. “Lu’lu wal marjuaan.” The ‘pearls and corals’ that Shaykh Nazim (Q) would always talk.
يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُمَا اللُّؤْلُؤُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ ﴿٢٢﴾ فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ ﴿٢٣﴾
55:22-23 – “Yakhruju minhumal lu ‘lu u wal marjaan (22) Fabi ayyi aalaaa’i Rabbikumaa tukazzibaan (23)” (Surat Ar-Rahman)
“Out of them come Pearls and Coral: (22) Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?” (The Beneficient, 55:22-23)
Why pearls and corals? Because these are the treasures of Allah’s (AJ) oceans of Rahman (The Most Compassionate). So when they’re reciting Surat Al-Rahman, all awliya they exist within that surah (chapter) and some described as rubies, some as pearls, some as corals.
كَأَنَّهُنَّ الْيَاقُوتُ وَالْمَرْجَانُ ﴿٥٨﴾
55:58 – “Ka annahunnal yaaqootu wal marjaan.”
“Like unto Rubies and coral.” (The Beneficient, 55:58)
So the treasures of Allah (AJ) are not the sea shells because that’s what the ocean threw out. You know as kids, you go and collect seashells. So when you collect those, then they say, ‘Well, that’s for you. What we want is inside that ocean.’ What Allah (AJ) didn’t kick out is in the ocean. So when they dive in that ocean then those are the pearls of Allah’s (AJ) oceans of rahmah and mercy. We said we’re all under sifat ur-Rahman (attribute of The Most Compassionate) “al ‘arshi istawa.”
الرَّحْمَـٰنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَىٰ ﴿٥﴾
20:5 – “ArRahmanu ‘alal ‘arshi istawa.” (Surat Taha)
“The Most Merciful [who is] above the Throne established.” (Ta-ha, 20:5)
That, Allah (AJ) describe ‘The commanding sifat (attribute) is Rahman and it sits on the throne.’ It means that we’re all coming from sift ur-Rahman because we come through ‘rahem’ which is ‘womb’ and noon is the light. That’s Rahman. So when we come through the womb, and all of us are coming through a womb on this creation, Allah (AJ) gives us a noon which is a light. So it means that the one whom is in the ocean of rahmah (mercy), and Allah (AJ) gave to Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q) a secret in which his nazar (gaze) is upon this pearl. This is the secret of the seen.
There are pearls in which Allah (AJ) describes, ‘They are the pearls of this ocean, these lu’lu’. Mawlana Shah Naqshband’s (Q) reality – one of them – because may have infinite number of realities of their souls – is that he makes the zikr of Hu upon that. It means from Allah’s (AJ) essence and the power and qudra that’s given to that soul is continuously watching and dressing. So when his nazar is upon that soul means he’s instilling upon from the secret of his heart upon those pearls. That his soul was created as awliya 7000 years before the soul of any wali (saint). So you cannot say any wali is higher than that. He’s created before they were created.
Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order) is the soul of all other tariqahs (spiritual paths). They take their tariqah from the realities and haqqaiqs of Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya because it comes from Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as). So the immensity of what was poured into the heart of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) is like no other Sahabi (Holy Companions of Prophet ﷺ) and each is separate. So if you look to the hand, the Siddiqiya [middle] finger is the highest, and Prophet ﷺ (AJ) described Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) has the highest station because of what Allah (AJ) has poured into his reality.
So this is something that is a gift to the nation. Siddiq Naqshbandiya tul Aliya is that Imam Ali (as) comes to give his family inheritance into Naqshbandiya and to bless it and dress it. So it becomes the tariqah of two secrets, of the great Siddiq (as) and Imam Ali (as). So it has an immense reality, immense states of perfection. From all tariqahs will find their reality within that. And that’s why this is the tariqah that’s kept alive and running still to the heart of Sayyidina Mahdi (as) and flowing from the heart of Sayyidina Mahdi (as). Most other tariqahs their knowledges have all stopped because the taps have all been closed. So this has an immense reality and now is powered by Sayyidina Mahdi (as) and Imam Ali (as), inshaAllah.
Question 5: What is the reality of Imam Mahdi (as)? Is he from Naqshbandiya ‘Aliya order?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, I think Naqshbandiya ‘Aliya order is from him. He’s Muhammadiyah. So he’s much higher than these names because he comes as the Muhammadan representative on Earth. So as a result he’s under the tarbiyah (discipline) of Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya. It means that these awliya and the lineage all the way to the heart of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) is the fuel and the dress of knowledges been given and the tarbiyah and the realities that have been poured into the heart of Imam Mahdi (as).
But when Imam Mahdi (as) makes the appearance, that ‘Muhammadiyah’ is then established, the Muhammadan kingdom is established, no other name will present itself in His presence. Because in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ then there is no other name. So means that the true La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulallah ﷺ is then returned and the trust is returned and Alam al-Islam is then reconfirmed. Because right now there is no imam (religious leader), there’s no khalifa (representative) on this Earth. So when Imam Mahdi (as) comes becomes the khalifa of Islam and under the flag and the banner of La ilaha illAllah Muhammadan Rasulallah ﷺ, inshaAllah. And all are called to follow him (as), inshaAllah.
Question 6: Sayyidi many people commenting on TikTok and YouTube – ‘Isn’t satan an angel?’ And someone else says, ‘Can a jinn (unseen being) pose as an angel or pretend to…?’
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: No, he’s not an angel. I don’t know why, who came up with these things? He’s clearly described by Prophet ﷺ as a jinn. He was in the majlis (association) of jinn. He was known for the nations of jinn upon this Earth and because of the jinn race and their fiery nature, because it’s an example that carries and moves forward, and because of his ‘ibadat and worshipness, he was raised to the presence of angels. In his associations he would speak and the angels could hear and learn from his teachings. But at no time, he was an angel. He was a jinn and his name – Azazil. So that’s a big difference because the angels they don’t do bad.
So this is a jinn and a very fiery nature jinn that was continuously testing. When Allah (AJ) created the form of Adam (as) before naming anything that he was flying into it and moving and thinking, ‘Oh, this is clay and this is such an easy creation to come against and to attack,’ and so these are different realities. That he understood what that creation was and kept testing that creation. When Allah (AJ) in the majlis of angels and jinn means all of creation was there, Allah (AJ) presented Sayyidina Adam (as). So somebody else commented, ‘No it’s just angels.’ Say, ‘What are you talking about its just angels?’ Allah (AJ) declared Sayyidina Adam (as) into an open majlis and at that time the majlis it had many jinn nations in that. Because they were already created. Now when He told them to bow down, everything bowed down, save Azazil, he did not bow down.
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ ﴿٣٤﴾
2:34 – “Wa idh qulna lilmalayikati osjudo li Adama fasajado illa ibleesa aba wastakbara wa kana minal kafireen.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)
“And [mention] when We said to the angels, ‘Bow Down/make prostration to Adam’; so they prostrated, except for Iblis. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers/who reject faith.” (The Cow, 2:34)
The angels looked up and he still was there, not bowing down. They went back into sujood (prostration) that’s why we have two sujood. At that time, when he didn’t bow He [Allah (AJ)] said, ‘You and your jinn followers, all of them, you are cast out from these heavens.’ Then they began to renegade and they, ‘Give us respite, give us an ability now to come against this creation.’
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ ﴿١٢﴾ قَالَ فَاهْبِطْ مِنْهَا فَمَا يَكُونُ لَكَ أَن تَتَكَبَّرَ فِيهَا فَاخْرُجْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ ﴿١٣﴾ قَالَ أَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴿١٤﴾
7:12-14 – “Qaala maa mana’aka allaa tasjuda iz amartuka qaala ana khairum minhu khalaqtanee min naarinw wa khalaqtahoo min teen. Qaala fahbit minhaa famaa yakoonu laka an tatakabbara feehaa fakhruj innaka minas saaghireen. Qaala anzirneee ilaa Yawmi yub’asoon.” (Surat Al-A’raf)
(Allah) said: “What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?” He said: “I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay. (Allah) said: “Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures). He said: “Give me respite till the day they are raised up.” (The Heights, 12-14)
They were cast out of the heavens, and they were cast out in large numbers of those whom listened to him, were learned from him, and were tainted by him. So this is an important understanding that they were the jinn races and the angels were tainted by his teaching. Because of that tainting, Allah (AJ) wanted to expose that, ‘That which you listen to of knowledges is one thing but more important than the knowledge is the glass in which it comes to you. That his knowledge is based on arrogance. Look, as soon as I asked him to bow down, he doesn’t bow down. So whatever he taught you was based on arrogance.’
That’s why the danger of listening to people. We say, ‘Oh but he sounds good and this one sounds this,’ but that sound can be a poisonous cup for you. Because anything can sound good, but if you don’t understand the character of the person, whatever they’re dispensing to you, it looks like clean water in a poison cup. Because you’re going to take the characteristics of the one giving it to you.
If the characteristic of that shaykh is clean and good then what comes to you of knowledge and good character. But if the heart is not clean and they’re all reciting Qur’an which is immensely purified, but why some Qur’an has a different energy? Well, because the heart of one who’s reciting it and that becomes your poisoned cup. So the water is always beautiful. But the cup you receive it in, is it going to kill you by taking a sip of it? That’s what Allah (AJ) was showing the angels that, ‘You were impressed by his knowledge but look at his character. Now as a result, you’re tainted.’ Because those same angels opened their mouth and asked, ‘How are You making him the khalifa?’ Because those were the tainted angels.
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلاَئِكَةِ إِنِّي جَاعِلٌ فِي الأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قَالُواْ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا وَيَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاء وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قَالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٣٠﴾
2:30 – “Wa idh qala rabbuka lil Malayikati innee ja’ilun fil ardi khaleefatan, qaloo ataj’alu feeha man yufsidu feeha wa yasfikud dima a wa nahnu nusabbihu bihamdika wa nuqaddisu laka, Qala innee a’lamu ma la ta’lamon.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)
“And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, “Indeed, I will make upon the Earth a Deputy/Representative.” They [angels] said, “Will You place upon it one who causes corruption/mischief therein and shed blood, while we praise and glorify You?” Allah said, “Indeed, I know that which you do not know.” (The Cow, 2:30)
Because who would, what angel would open their mouth? The ones went into sujood, but the ones whom were his students they, ‘Why are You making him the khalifa? That they’re going to make so much bloodshed.’ So those were a part then all cast down of the heavens, and they came down to Earth and those are the stories now of Earth. They came down onto Earth, they made fitna (confusion), they made all sorts of difficulties and all sorts of wildness and destruction. With their knowledges of the heavens, they came down to Earth and made fitna and the angels then partook in a war against the Earth in which they came then to fight these creations.
So there’re many things have happened. But definitely they were of the jinn races and the jinn races now govern these Earth. And that’s why the teaching is very important to understand the dajjal (man of deceit) that’s coming is a jinn nature. He will show himself as human because humans don’t understand veiling. So they appear to be humans, but they’re not human. They’re of a jinn race, and 99 percent of people now they appear to be human, but they’re not human. This Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say that at his time, he would say, ‘90 percent of people are no longer human.’ They gave their humanity away. They subjected themself to something other than humanity. As a result when you give yourself to these shayateen (devils), they occupy immediately the person. They change the eyes, the change the desire, they change the temperament because the devil is within them. What they eat, what they want, what they want of suffering, what they want of blood then changes the demeanour of the person.
That’s why we said that watch when Allah (AJ) sent the ‘Lord of the Rings’ [movie]. These are marketing from heavens. That how that one human became such a dirty and despicable person, that Gollum and started to lose the image of his humanity. Now, look at people like that. They don’t look like humans anymore. They mark themself, they look like lizards. They looks literally green from a distance. Even they’re changing their face to look like the reptilians and lizards and all these races of Allah’s (AJ) creation that are not good and they’re not beneficial and their desire is to eat humans. They have no intention of teaching them and coming with ‘kumbaya’ and giving them guidance and taking them to higher states of enlightenment. They’re coming to serve mankind on a dish. You’re the meal.
There was an ‘Outer Limits’ show like that when we grew up, that they had come and ‘We’re going to be good to you.’ They had a UFO parked and it was a door and it looked like a restaurant menu to serve mankind. People were entering in like they’re coming into a restaurant, but like the Bugs Bunny cartoon, that they’re making a big soup and they were cutting the carrots. Yeah, so they have something else planned for humanity. So but Allah’s (AJ) great. So whatever they plan, Allah (AJ) already has a plan for all of that.
وَيَمْكُرُونَ وَيَمْكُرُ اللَّـهُ ۖ وَاللَّـهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ ﴿٣٠﴾
8:30 – “… wa yamkuroona wa yamkurul laahu, Wallaahu khairul maakireen” (Surat Al-Anfal)
“…But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.” (The Spoils of War, 8:30)
That’s why come to your enlightenment, come to your connection, come to everything, that’s why the holy companions inspiring that, ‘We are with you. If you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ then we are with you. The sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) that you carry, you’re carrying our love and our love is with you.’ Because that’s the Hadith, ‘You’ll with whom you love.’ When you love Prophets ﷺ, he’s with you.
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]
If Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) is with you, don’t you think his holy companions are with you? Because he doesn’t travel alone. So they’re with you, they’re with you in everything that you have and you take and you hold. That’s what has to be understood. That when you have the sunnah, then you have a holy companion who’s with you and what it represents, to hold you, to stabilize you, to support you. You’re not something left alone. Allah (AJ) doesn’t leave those whom love, to be alone and to be eaten by wolves. Allah (AJ) will send lions to destroy the wolves, inshaAllah.
Question 7: How do we realize what jinns and bad idols are there inside of us? How to become more aware of the bad inside us?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: The meditation. Because that’s the video that the guys released. Right? If I want to know what’s a compound, like the person says, ‘This is like a beautiful gold.’ They got it from somewhere in South America. Burn it down! So they show these melting pots, they take these necklaces they got from these areas, they throw it into this melting pot. As soon as they burn it, they can see all the other compound that, ‘This is not the pure gold. There’s all sorts of mixtures in here.’ Then by burning it, adding different elements and different chemicals, they can burn out the impurities and then reduce it to something pure, then make that into a coin and now they have something pure.
Same thing. So the fire for humans is meditation. That’s why not to meditate alone because you don’t have any fire alone. You probably just have a devil, and he’s going to become stronger in your meditation. So Western meditation is alone and then they’re standing by a tree and just talking to themselves. The devil in them is becoming stronger. Because it’s like, ‘Great! Oh now I can just sit and talk to you all day, whispering and giving you all my waswas (whispering) and every kind of crazy thought,’ and people come out crazier than when they went. But tariqah tafakkur (contemplation) is nothing like that at all. You’re supposed to sit to meditate, visualize the shaykh is in front of you. Make sure you make the connection with the shaykh, play your salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), the shaykh is in front of you. Nothing else, no other sounds – your salawat on Prophet ﷺ (AJ) and visualize the shaykh. If you visualize the shaykh, then you’re cutting out shaitan (satan) coming and whispering to you because you see the shaykh is right there.
If you asked in the madad (support), for them to be present, you read the madad of the shaykhs, their arwah and their souls are all around you. As a result, now the heat begins, so then you become the gold in the burning cup. So when their heat begins, all the bad character will begin to come out. If you do this consistently, then you will consistently see the bad character, ‘What did I do wrong today,’ in madad. Then you will be, say: ‘Okay I said this wrong. I said this wrong,’ and write it down, write it down so that you don’t repeat it the next day. Taking a nap back there [referring to audiences]. Who’s taking a nap next to you Hajji Karim? InshaAllah, you know I see everything from here! [Shaykh advises audience to stay alert during suhbah]. Yeah, write it down inshaAllah. Then you come after that characteristic so that not to do that again. Then every day become a little bit better, a little bit better.
That’s when we describe when the meditation and so much energy is coming some people can’t take the heat inside the kitchen. So we said, what was the expression? If you can’t take the heat in the kitchen, get out. So that’s what happens is they can’t take the burning phase, that things that are within them that maybe hidden to themselves are going to come out or maybe they sort of suppressed that at a young age. So those little creatures and characteristics will start to come out in the tafakkur and contemplation. That’s what’s necessary is to come out and address that, to come against that bad characteristic, inshaAllah.
Question 8: How much of addiction is qadar (decree) of Allah (AJ) and how much is it free will? I have been trying to cure myself for many years but I still struggle. Am I broken or is this just all part of my spiritual path?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, it’s not so simple – addiction and conditioning of oneself and difficulties. You know, addictions are self-medicating. So based on what happens in our lives and experiences in our lives, people then begin to medicate themselves instead of going through life. So that has its own issue. Most people will go through life; they go through good and bad and they either become harder, softer, broken. Some people as soon as the difficulties came to their life, they began to medicate with alcohol and drugs and smoking or whatever people’s vices and addictions are. As a result of that now they have a dependence on that form of medication.
Again, the same is the tafakkur, the contemplation, all of the spiritual practices and trying to abstain from these and fighting these desires and supplementing the negative desire with the positive energies and making du’a (supplication). So most of those other than psychological can be cured. Because those are vices. Right? Someone who’s smoking, drinking, doing drugs, they can stop. They have to make an action in which to stop. Keep the company of people whom are not doing that and ask God on a daily basis for support. Right? You follow and enrol in a 12 step program of daily support. Well, that’s madad. Have a sponsor. Well, that’s a shaykh.
So it’s all the same system is that I have to ask for support for people whom are more pious than me. That ask that, ‘Their support and nazar be upon me and that I’m going to take my life one day at a time.’ Don’t think, ‘10 years out, what am I going to do now for my future?’ But every day I want it to be a good day. Then go back to all our teachings and you’ll see it’s all based on curing these types of problems. Right? Because if you’re suffering from an issue that you want to medicate yourself, most likely it’s the past or a fear in the future. Either you’re scared you’ll never amount to anything so the future has you chained up. Or that in the past you were abused and put difficulty upon and that’s holding you ransom. So then again in the spiritual practices, those have to be cut. “Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah.”
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَالشُّكْرُ لِلَّهِ
“Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah”
“All praise is (due) to Allah (AJ) and all thanks be to Allah (AJ)”
That, ‘Whatever experience I went, I went through and Allah (AJ) has a hikmah and a wisdom in it.’ That you have to cut the chain of the past that don’t let it hold a rope around your neck and the future’s in Allah’s (AJ) hands and that, you know, build the faith and build your practices. So again, it comes back to the meditation and the fellowship of very powerful souls that can inspire the heart, and then they begin to teach you with energies. Then the desire to smoke will drop, the desire to drink to drop, the desire to sort of use drugs and harm oneself drops.
But mental issues have to have medicine because that could be a chemical imbalance. You know, just like somebody coming and saying, ‘I have diabetes, or I have heart problems.’ You can’t say, ‘I’m going to medicate my[self]. I’m going to meditate to get rid of that.’ There may actually be a physical ailment that you need medication for. So with the medication it brings you to an even state. Then in your meditations and spiritual practices, it has a possibility to be cured, and that you don’t need that. You can recognize, ‘Oh I should be dieting, I should be having cinnamon, I should be doing all these things. Maybe then I don’t need all of this medication,’ and then that can be reduced then if Allah (AJ) wants it to be reduced. So this is a whole spiritual path. You’ll see that everything that was taught was for all of this, all of these ailments because we’re teaching Western audiences and for Western audiences these are the diseases. So for every disease, Allah (AJ) has a cure.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ (رَضِيَ الله عَنّهُ) عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ “ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ دَاءً إِلاَّ أَنْزَلَ لَهُ شِفَاءً ” – رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ
‘An ‘Abi Huraira (ra), ‘anin Nabi ﷺ qala: “maa anzalallahu daa an illa anzala lahu shefa an.” [Rawahu al Bukhtari]
Narrated Abu Huraira (ra): The Prophet (pbuh) said, “There is no disease that Allah has created, except that He also has created its remedy/treatment.” [Sahih al Bukhari 76, 5678]
So they sent a shaykh that understands all these things, and that’s why they’re teaching. This is the medicine. Without the meditation how would you get somebody out of addiction? Just tell them stop? No, because you know that’s like a pit of quicksand. Stopping just by the virtue of saying ‘stop’ doesn’t do anything. But when you meditate and contemplate and ask for guidance and light – that’s a 12 step program in which to ask for God’s support and God’s help and to ask for help to conquer things that, ‘I cannot sort of address and that the things I can, I will work on and the things I can’t that Allah (AJ) support me in.’ The greatest support is the madad and asking for help. So that’s why these programs are sent into these regions and to be taught. So it’s under all of these ailments. When we talk we’re considering all of these different sicknesses and characters defects so it’s not somebody with unique desires or addicted to what’s being on the internet and visuals and it’s all the same for them. That to counter the negative energy, you have to have positive energy. The fastest way to get positive energy is now through tafakkur.
We described and warned people a year back or two years back, that’s coming a time like Birdbox [movie]. If anyone seen that movie, they’d go out one day, they flip a switch and you know, the party is ON inside their head. They’re all over the place. Because of the immense amount of negativity in the air, and all these things they were giving people and all the panic they put into people and the energies that they’re releasing, makes for a very unstable environment.
If you add on top of that, you know taking away their money from the bank and closing grocery stores and oh it’s going to be you know something unbelievable. So anyone who’s keel is off, is really going to go off and that’s the danger. So the ones whom they’re trying to reach and say that, ‘meditate, contemplate so that you have a madad, you have a connection’ so when the power goes out, you have at least you made your connection. Because at that time is going to be very difficult. ‘Shaykh oh everything collapsed. This is closed, that’s closed, now how do I meditate?’ You won’t even be able to get onto the internet. InshaAllah Allah (AJ) help us all, inshaAllah.
Question 9: How can we do meditation while travelling by train for long distance with people and how can we do meditation when electricity is cut off especially in the mountain?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: In the mountain? Better. Yeah, you don’t want electricity when you’re meditating, but I wouldn’t meditate on a train. Again, you have to get the meditation book two, three copies because you’re in the mountain, give it to your friends, because that’s all in the meditation book.
So you don’t go to a busy mall and say, ‘I’m going to now open my energy and let everything in this mall attack me,’ nor on a busy train. Or you know if it’s too busy and the environment is too crowded. So that would be maybe a lighter meditation or some wazifas (spiritual practices) and awrads (daily practice) and maybe not even that if the energy starts to come and overwhelm you. So that’s not the environment to make your connection with Prophet ﷺ. So common-sense would tell you make sure it’s a clean and beatific environment. Now no electricity, even better. Because then you have a candle, you meditate and you know that’s the most powerful, inshaAllah.
Question 10: What should we do if we have been given a medicine from the hospital that is slowly poisoning us? How best to accept the symptoms and discomfort inshaAllah?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: InshaAllah, yeah, you have to talk to your physician on the medication and you know your course of treatment. If it’s truly poisonous and this is related to cancers and all, you know, alternative treatments you have to look and different realities. But if it’s psychological medicine and you feel that psychologically you’re being poisoned, then you know, talk it over with the course of your treatment and the physicians. Try to overcome some fears that set into people thinking that this is poisoning them, but you have to try to take the medication and try to make yourself to be in a good state.
Allah (AJ) gives everybody hardship. So that’s this game. This game is played with that everybody has hardships in their lives. Anyone without it, that’s not normal. So they’re going to be tested in everything; with their children, with their families, with their communities, with their life, with their rizq, with their sustenance, with their home – that’s this life. Then Allah (AJ) gave you the reward of this tariqah. That did you learn from it? Did you try this tafakkur and contemplation? Did you use these spiritual tools? Well if Allah (AJ) enrolled you to get these spiritual tools, He knows what He was about to test you with. But if you didn’t take it serious, then you entered into a test without any tools.
So we said those gamers all know what we’re talking about. If you played level one, and you didn’t go and get all the potions and all the surprises, level two has a surprise for you. Right? But you don’t have any of the potions you needed, you don’t have any of the hidden treasures you were supposed to get. Level three even far more difficult. So that’s why that the tariqah’s based on, ‘Did you learn these things? Did you acquire these knowledges? Did you do these practices?’ Because now these higher levels are going to get harder in life and that’s life in general for everyone.
So you can’t say, ‘Oh I’m coming out of the tariqah just to avoid testing.’ Because Allah’s (AJ) going to be with you wherever you go. Outside of the tariqah that testing is 70,000 times more difficult. You know it’s one thing to be tested by Allah (AJ) in a merciful state versus being outside and running away from Allah (AJ) and Allah (AJ) sends, you know, crazy people to come and harm you. Because Allah (AJ) describes in Qur’an that, ‘We test people and give them like warfare, and put them in the hands of people whom have no mercy.’
So war is a punishment upon humanity. They’ll be tested by the hands of people whom have no mercy. Why? Because they’re coming now to clean. So better to be clean by Allah’s (AJ) rahmah than to think you’re running from Allah (AJ). Then Allah (AJ) sending well, then what waits for you, is the people who have no mercy and they will get the same job done but far more difficult. So anyone with ‘aqel (intellect) and understanding says, ‘Oh, no, Ya Rabbi I’m good with the mercy part. I don’t need anybody without mercy to put me into difficulty. I’m good right where I am. I’m going to clean myself and I’m going to take my testing and my difficulties,’ inshaAllah.
