From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمْ

A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

I seek refuge in Allah 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)

Question 1: Sayyidi I have been left confused when you say that Allah (AJ) doesn’t have time. Can you please clarify?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: You must have just tuned in. How can Allah (AJ) have time, yeah? The Creator is not in creation. So if you’re just tuning in, you have to get the meditation book [A Timeless Reality] inshaAllah and start to watch. Instead of Netflix at night or different movies, binge watch all our videos. Put on YouTube and put all the ‘meditation’ and ‘energy’ [a playlist] and just keep watching these videos so that you come up to speed and understand that we teach from the world of light and malakut (heavenly realm).

Light in our science classes teaches us that light has no time and that the speed of light is constant. So anything operating in the world of light has no time. So Allah (AJ) is not inside creation. Allah (AJ) is outside of creation. Creation has life and death. So many, many of these things that we teach, you summarize by teaching people – Allah (AJ) has no time, has no form, no type of identity for us to understand, no location for us to understand. So that’s why we differ from the Wahhabis and Mujassamiyoon – anthropomorphic groups that put a form on the Creator which is like a bud (idol). So it become highly sort of negative and not something to even go in that direction. As a result for the greatness of the Creator we stay out of that understanding. So that Allah (AJ) wants for us is to contemplate His creation.

So well first if we want to know the greatness of creation well then we first have to know ourselves. Because how can I know the greatness of something if I don’t even know how am I operating? Am I operating with badness and evilness and bad intent and bad character? If I am, anything I look at is going to be horrifically corrupt. So if I’m looking through the world through my violence and bad character, well then everything I see will be corrupted because the bad don’t see good. So then I have to look to myself and Prophet ﷺ gave to us Hadith, ‘Who knows himself will begin to know his Rab (lord),’ and that’s the process of tafakkur and contemplation.

قَال رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ:” مَنْ عَرَفَ نَفْسَهْ فَقَدْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ”

Qala Rasulullahi ﷺ: “Man ‘arafa nafsahu faqad ‘arafa Rabbahu”

The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “Who knows himself, knows his Lord.”

Because I have to know myself, I have to see the evilness and wickedness within myself, I have to clean myself. Only when I clean myself, I can begin to understand how other things should be clean. Otherwise the counter to religion is hypocrisy. So imagine just a filthy person going around telling people how to be clean. Filthy in every way; filthy in their mouth, filthy in their appearance, filthy in their character and just walking around the streets and yelling at people how to be clean – that is greatly despised by Divinely Presence and by all humanity. Nobody likes a hypocrite. That’s the problem – is that most people are like that. They have filthy character, they have a filthy dirtiness, they have filthy mouths, they have filthy appearance in their spiritual and energy realities. As a result, they go around thinking that they can tell everybody else what’s right and what’s wrong. But they first have to begin to know themselves so that requires the process of contemplation.

Stop, contemplate and then begin to fix oneself. ‘What is my character? Who do I harm? What are my faults and my wrongdoings?’ What they call ‘muhasabah’ and ‘accounting.’ When we do that, we understand, ‘Oh my gosh I have a lot of faults, I have a lot of issues to work on and I should be busying myself working on myself and not talk to other people, not to try to reprimand other people but I should be reprimanding myself.’ This is the major difference between internal scholar and external scholar.

External scholar and student they love to tell everybody what to do. They’ll give talks, they quote Hadith and they quote maybe hundreds of Hadith, not one of them they follow. Because the external belief is, ‘I just have to propagate. I can go to the park and yell at everybody. These are the Hadith, you are all kuffaar, you are all going into hell.’ But the internal scholar says, ‘It’s okay if I can take one or two or three Hadith and I should actually live by it.’ So the tariqahs (spiritual paths) they take the major Hadith of, ‘Who knows himself should know his Lord.’ Oh so Prophet ﷺ, this is the advice – I should know myself. The person whom makes tafakkur (contemplation) is like 70 years of worshipness – another Hadith from Prophet ﷺ.

تَفَكُرْ سَاعَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ سَبْعِينْ سَنَةً

“Tafakkur sa’atin khairun min ‘Ibadati sab’een sanatan.”

“One hour of contemplation is more valuable than seventy years of worship” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

So means only a few Hadith is necessary for the internal scholar to implement in their life and they busied themself for 20, 30 years cleaning themself and continuous. Oh, oh because there’s always a new disease and a new sickness that’s coming. As a result of cleaning themself and knowing the lords that govern them, the badness and evilness that govern them, they fight those evilnesses. At the same time Allah (AJ) opens then the Heavenly Lords that govern them and those are then from the Heavenly souls and Heavenly beings that Allah (AJ) has created and surrounds them in the company of nabiyeen (prophets), siddiqeen (truthful), shuhadayi (witnesses) was saliheen (righteous) and that Allah (AJ), ‘I am with them and they are the best of company to keep.’

(٦٩) وَمَن يُطِعِ اللّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُوْلَـئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا

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)

So this is the tariqah, this is the purpose of tariqah. That tariqah’s purpose is to teach the malakut – the world of light and paradise realities. It’s not the role of an external scholar just keep shooting out Hadith because they’re good in translating Arabic one after another, one after another, one after another, weekly ten of them coming out, oh, oh, oh so many. To impress people. But why you don’t take one of them and live by it? That’s the difference, that’s tariqah, the greatness of tariqah in which Allah (AJ) describes in this noble way these are the people of tafakkur (contemplation), they are elite. Because they stop and they contemplate. It doesn’t mean that they have to be perfect but at least when they stop and contemplate they are trying to reach perfection. But the one whom shooting on the highway just going fast, missed everything and there is no way for perfection on that route. People are rushing to get somewhere as if there was a race to get there. This is a lifelong journey towards the reality, inshaAllah.

Question 2: Shaykh I’ve been reading Qur’an and salah (daily prayer) and stayed away from all types of sins that are all around me but my state of affairs have not yet changed. Am I doing something wrong in my ‘ibadah (worship)? Shaykh please help.

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Walaykum as salaam. Yeah, it didn’t sound like you followed our advice. You basically said you’re reading Qur’an and doing salah but that’s not our teaching. So first accept the teaching, come to the tariqah and begin to follow the way of tariqah.

That anytime you pick up a path to light and people have to understand that you sit all of a sudden under a tree, you say, ‘Oh you know what? I think today I’m going to start from the rest of my life I’m going to start reading a lot of Qur’an, I’m going to do a lot of salah,’ and then they’re surprised that they’re attacked. Again, not knowing this game that was sort of been brought upon us. As soon as you do anything towards goodness and the light, shaitan (satan) now recognizes you. If there was a small shaitan guarding you, he’s going to send a big shaitan. Say, ‘Oh so you’re planning on leaving my satanic kingdom and you’re going towards your Lord? Oh I’m not letting you do that, I’m actually going to attack you, I’m going to bring difficulty upon you, I’m going to confuse your mind with horrific visions, horrific thoughts, horrific energies.’ So people don’t understand, ‘Oh I started doing worshipness and all of a sudden I’m having a lot of difficulty.’

The understanding of tariqah and guidance was that Allah (AJ) wanted people to be guided. As a result, they guide towards the shaykhs, that come to the shaykhs and they teach you. That make your connection, take your allegiance to the shaykh, recite these awrads (daily practices), do these practices on top of whatever Allah (AJ) has asked for you. Because these practices build your connection with the shaykh, build your connection with the world of light so that you have a wakeel (representative). So as soon as shaitan wants to attack you, it’s like you coming and saying, ‘I’m actually represented by a law firm!’ Because as soon as you enter into the tariqah, this is the gift that Allah (AJ) has given to the shaykhs. Their souls then they become an energy around the students, they have a protection around the students and they begin to teach the students that do like this, wash like this, meditate like this – all of these actions then enable them to be where Allah (AJ), “Ittaqollah” – when you have a consciousness, “Wa kono ma’as sadiqeen.”

(١١٩) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ

9:119 – “Ya ayyuhal ladheena amanoo ittaqollaha wa kono ma’as sadiqeen.” (Surat At-Tawba)

“O you who have believed, have consciousness of Allah and be with those who are truthful/Pious/sincere (in words and deed).” (The Repentance, 9:119)

So much of the Qur’an, people are not following. Just because someone reads it, didn’t mean they followed it. So in ayatul kareem (the generous verse of Holy Qur’an), this ayatul kareem Allah (AJ) describes “Ittaqollah” means that, ‘Have a consciousness,’ but what does that mean? Then Allah (AJ) give the command, “Wa kono ma’as sadiqeen” – ‘Keep the company of sadiqeen (truthful).’ Well how many people are doing that? Just because they’re reading Qur’an, they didn’t fulfill what the Qur’an asked of them. That have a consciousness and follow the sadiq (truthful). So then somebody would ask in their heart, ‘I read one time the Qur’an now I understand oh Allah’s (AJ) keeping telling me to have taqwa (consciousness). How I’m going to have taqwa?’ Then you look at external scholars and it’s ridiculous answers that they give. ‘You just have taqwa because you believe in paradise, heaven and hell and you’re going for Hajj (pilgrimage).’

No, taqwa is a complete inner battle against devils. How to fight off the devil from your vision, from your hearing, from your breathing, from your touch and from your movement? Because at every level the shaitan is going to be attacking. How to have a taqwa and a consciousness, they’ll begin to teach you and then Allah (AJ) said, “Wa kono ma’as sadiqeen” (Holy Qur’an, 9:119), that ‘You should be in the company of the sadiqs.’ So you look around to your right and you look to your left and say, ‘I don’t know any sadiqs, you know, my group of crazy friends they’re not helping me in any way and the energy they give to me is actually making everything very difficult in my life. I read Qur’an, I do my prayer but then I hang out with people who are not clean and they’re not sadiq and I don’t even have an association of such people,’ well then what would happen? Just difficulty. So yeah, that’s the issue. People think they’re reading Qur’an but it’s different to live the Qur’an and follow the command of the Qur’an to the best of our abilities.

So that’s why Allah (AJ) wants for us that – keep the company of righteous servants. Not they are righteous but the practices of righteousness, the love they have for Prophet ﷺ that they set themselves upon a path towards cleanliness. Allah (AJ) says in the Qur’an, ‘We love those whom are clean, mutahireen (clean and pure).’

(٢٢٢) إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ التَّوَّابِينَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ …

2:222 – “…Inna Allaha yuhibbu attawwabeena wa yuhibbu al Mutatahhireen.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“…Surely Allah loves those constantly repentant, and He loves those who purify themselves.” (The Cow, 2:222)

So He loves the people whom continuously want to clean their heart, clean their soul. Not take showers, what Allah (AJ) cares for your body? One time clean your body is enough but those whom they shower internally, they clean their blood, they clean their heart, they clean their soul, they clean and they rid themself of every shaitan within them, inside of them. Not only crawling on their skin with outside wudu (ablution) but internal wudu. “Dhikrillahi tatma’innul Qulob” – ‘Only the remembrance of Allah (AJ) can bring a peace upon the heart’ because shaitan is continuously hitting the heart.

(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)

So means all of this reality of Qur’an then is not being fulfilled. “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka yubayi’on Allah.”

(١٠)إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللَّـهَ يَدُ اللَّـهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ فَمَن نَّكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنكُثُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّـهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْرًا عَظِيمً

48:10 – “Innal ladheena yubayi’oonaka innama yubayi’on Allaha yadullahi fawqa aydeehim, faman nakatha fa innama yankuthu ‘ala nafsihi, wa man awfa bima ‘ahada ‘alayhu Allaha fasayu teehi ajran ‘azheema.” (Surat Al-Fath)

“Indeed, those who give Bayah (pledge allegiance) to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually giving Bayah (pledge allegiance) to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands. So, he whoever breaks his pledge/oath, only breaks it to the detriment/Harm/loss of himself. And whoever fulfills their covenant (Bayah) that which he has promised Allah (AJ) – He will grant him a great reward.” (The Victory, 48:10)

How many people took this command of bay’ah (pledge of allegiance) and fulfilled what Allah (AJ) asked? Where Allah (AJ) says, ‘You have to take bay’at,’ and that your bay’at is to fulfill your covenant that you’re going to exchange your dunya (material world) for your akhirah (hereafter) and Allah (AJ) describes, ‘Your dunya is the best of deals.’ That Allah (AJ) will take that which is dirty from you – the dunya which means nothing and causes you harm and in exchange gives you paradise. So then Allah (AJ) describing in Surah Tawbah, ‘What a amazing deal that is.’

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ… وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوا (١١١)بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِي بَايَعْتُم بِهِ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ

9:111 – “Inna Allaha Ashtara Minal Mu’umineena ‘Anfusahum Wa ‘Amwalahum Bi anna Lahum AlJannata, …Wa’dan ‘Alayhi Haqqan fit Tawrati wal Injeeli wal Qur’ani, Wa Man Awfa Bi ‘ahdihi Mina Allahi, Fastabshiro Bi bay’ikum Al Ladhi Baaya’tum Bihi, Wa Dhalika Huwal Fawzul ‘azeem.” (Surat At-Tawbah)

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise…[It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in your Bayat which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great achievement. (The Repentance, 9:111)

So it means again all of this Holy Qur’an people are not fulfilling what the Qur’an is asking. That’s why they come to the shaykhs and the tariqah to fulfill the command, to take the bay’at, to pledge their allegiance to Allah (AJ), to Holy Qur’an, to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That they fulfill the covenant that they gave on “Alastu bi Rabbikum wa qalo bala”.

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ رَ‌بُّكَ مِن بَنِي آدَمَ مِن ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّ‌يَّتَهُمْ وَأَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ أَلَسْتُ بِرَ‌بِّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا بَلَىٰ ۛ شَهِدْنَا. أَن تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هَـٰذَا (١٧٢)غَافِلِينَ

7:172 – “Wa idh akhadha rabbuka min banee adama min Zhuhorihim dhurriyyatahum wa ashhadahum ‘ala anfusihim alastu bi Rabbikum? Qalo bala shahidna. An taqolo yawmal qiyamati inna kunna ‘an hadha ghafileen.” (Surat Al-A’raf)

“And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam, from their first appearance/loins – their atoms/descendants and made them testify concerning themselves, [saying to them], “Am I not your Lord?” They said, “Yes, we do testify!” [This] – lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, ‘Indeed, we were of this unaware.’” (The Heights, 7:172)

On the day of promises they promised Allah (AJ) that, ‘If I came onto this Earth, I would submit to You, I would follow Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that I would surrender my entire being back to You,’ and this is the covenant most high. That I surrender myself. “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin” that everything is for Allah (AJ).

(قُلْ إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿١٦٢

6:162-163 – “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin. (162) (Surat Al-An’am)

Say, “Indeed, my prayer, my services of sacrifice, my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the worlds.” (The Cattle, 6:162)

It means then they surrender their will back to Allah (AJ). So who’s taking bay’at out of two billion Muslims on Earth? 100, 200,000 in tariqah, million? So no. 99 percent of, 99.9 percent of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ have been fooled by shaitans not to do and not to follow the Qur’an. Although they think they’re following, they’re not. This is shaitan‘s trickery and that his evilness it seems fair and good to people. They say, ‘Oh yeah we shouldn’t do that, we don’t need awliya (saints), we don’t need shaykhs, we don’t need nothing. We only follow Allah (AJ).’ No, you don’t follow Allah (AJ), you follow only desires. When Allah (AJ) described, ‘Have consciousness and follow the sadiqs [Holy Qur’an, 9:119],’and that ‘take your pledge, take your allegiance [Holy Qu’ran, 48:10].’ So throughout Qur’an is describing the system. ‘Is taqaamoo ‘fi tareeqatit” and then ‘Have a firmness and keep firm upon your tariqah.’

(١٦) وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا

72:16 – “Wa alla wis taqaamoo ‘alat tareeqati la asqaynaahum maa’an ghadaqaa” (Surat Al-Jinn)

“And [ Allah revealed] that: “If they had only remained firm on their tariqa (straight path), We would have bestowed on them Rain/water in abundance. ” (The Jinn, 72:16)

So yeah, it’s not as simple as just reading and praying. That’s just the introduction. But once you’re introduced to Islam means the battle begins and shaitan now is after you. So then you have to come into the fold of the tariqahs, come into the groups, that keep the companionship of the people of the ring. Right? Because they wear the ring of power, they wear the ring of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. It means keeping companionship. Not going and doing it alone against shaitan and then keeping the companionship of all the shayateen (devils) and friends whom don’t submit, who drink and smoke and do everything that’s incorrect. We look around and you say, ‘If you show me who your friends are, I can tell you more about who you are.’

So Allah (AJ) wants for us is – keep the company of righteous people, sit in their zikrs (Divine remembrances), sit in their company, listen to them, at least in a virtual sense people should be sitting and listening to the zikrs, listening to the talks. Three times a week you have a shaykh that’s making himself available to you. Log in, ask your questions, log in and email [[email protected]], log in and give your comments that ‘As salaamu alaykum,’ because we all look at everything. If you didn’t get your question asked, no problem. At least the shaykh is recognizing and watching who’s making comments, who is participating and such an easy way to do a khidmat (service). If you want the nazar (gaze) of somebody, you get their attention by doing things. You don’t get the nazar of somebody by just saying, ‘Hey, put your nazar upon me.’ It doesn’t work like that.

The nazar is that go out and do donations, go out and send articles, go out and copy and paste so that they see your name oh look you’re on the shopping site [smcmerch.com], you’re on the donation site [Muslimcharity.com], oh you’re on Facebook [Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi]. You’re posting and posting and posting. You gave out two sandwiches and everyone to their ability. Even a person has nothing, say, ‘Okay but you have a finger and a thumb left, share an article,’ you can share that all day long and then the shaykhs watch and say, ‘Oh alhamdulillah.’ InshaAllah Allah (AJ) send through this pious person, sincere person guidance. Maybe two people came to the tariqah through that post. So, so many ways to get the nazar, definitely not by saying ‘Give me your nazar,’ inshaAllah.

Question 3: Does wearing a turban or carrying a cane among people who don’t, make them ON? Also at the same time don’t want to hide my identity and what I believe and follow. Alhamdulillah for guidance, thank you Sayyidi. Allah (AJ) bless you.

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, walaykum as salaam. Yeah, everything you know has a common sense. If absolutely nobody is doing that and you decide you’re going to walk through a busy mall with a turban and cane and a jubba (Islamic robe), yes that like being ‘ON.’ Like you’re showing off something of a, you know, something in a non-appropriate location, putting in all of these types of clothing. So everything has a hikmah and a wisdom.

You go with your identity, you can wear your kufi and you have a beard. For sisters they wear their hijab (veil) and they go out. Every day becomes a struggle. That’s what they’re talking about. Not that you have to put the turban, jubba and walk with ‘asaa (cane) and go down like you’re going to part the mall from right to left. So these are very common sensical. Just an everyday struggle to keep your Islamic identity and what Allah (AJ) has asked of us – to keep your Islamic identity, to be proud of your Islamic identity. When it’s appropriate for the masjid or for Jum’ah (Friday Prayer) or for in your communities then you know you can go more with your sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ). If you want for work, you can carry your cane. Anyone ask just say, ‘Oh it’s just for my back and for blessings,’ and you go anywhere you want with a cane but you don’t have to make the whole thing to be an appearance. So everything is with common sense, inshaAllah.

Just keeping our Islamic identity is enough of a struggle and battle amongst people especially in areas in which they’re not Islamic, in areas of the world that have no interest in Islam then that becomes a great struggle and a great battle. That’s what is important but people think, ‘No, no, it’s okay. Allah (AJ) wants me to hide it.’ No, Allah (AJ) doesn’t want to hide it. Allah (AJ) wrote the program so there’s no need to hide anything. So we go in the airport with our Islamic identity. You don’t hide yourself thinking, ‘Oh they’ll bother you.’ No, nobody bothers you because Allah (AJ) wrote the program. So inshaAllah you have to just be proud of what you believe in and enjoy it and Allah (AJ) wrote the program and you have patience in our testings, inshaAllah.

Question 4: How do we achieve inner-hearing? And ya Sayyidi what is the test of eternal hearing?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, I don’t know that question. Every test is internal hearing, we’ve talked about many times. You have to binge watch all of these videos on hearing, yaqeen (certainty) of hearing, the Ramadan fasting that people think is just time for hunger. Ramadan is a time to fast with all the senses. “Hudan al muttaqeen.”

﴾ذَٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَ‌يْبَ  فِيهِ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢

2:2 – “Zaalikal kitaabu laa rayba feeh, hudal lil muttaqeen. (2)” (Surat Al-Baqarah)           

“This is the Book that there is no doubt/crookedness in it, it’s a guidance for pious people who are conscious of Allah.” (The Cow, 2:1-2)

What made them muttaqeen (those with high level of consciousness) is that Allah (AJ) made the perfection and certainty of all their senses. So how somebody is going to be tested with their hearing is that “Sam’ina wa ata’na.” In your life do you ‘Hear and obey?’

(٢٨٥)سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَاِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ

2:285 – “Sam’ina wa ata’na, ghufranaka Rabbana wa ilaykal masir.” (Surat Al-Baqarah)

“…We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys.” (The Cow, 2:285)

Do you hear the talk and obey? Do you hear the guidance and you follow? Not for one minute as he’s saying it and then you go out the door, the next day you forgot it. But you wrote it, you contemplate it and you began to implement it in our lives. So we say okay, ‘Don’t show yourself,’ they don’t show themself for three weeks and then fourth week they begin to show themselves. That, ‘Don’t argue, everyone stay quiet.’ Three weeks, oh they begin to argue. Yeah, people forgot what everything was. So how then to have yaqeen for hearing? It’s not, ‘Oh I’m going to receive an order from the shaykh that please now recite Surah YaSeen so you can get all the secrets,’ is no. In everyday communications and every day isharat (sign) and guidance that they look to see that you follow the small things, you’re consistent with the small things. ‘Don’t sit here, sit there’ and you say, ‘Sam’ina wa ata’na’ not five days later you change it and you again you become somewhere else. You’re not hearing, you’re not listening. So what’s the benefit?

So it means that when we hear, it’s locked, it remains our understanding and we live our life like that so that we can reach the perfection of that reality. We don’t have to be reminded for anything. It’s locked on, the co-ordinance are locked on like for Rijal (people of maturity) and that’s what’s important. Otherwise, we are in the satanic state of forgetfulness. We said the difference between the Rijal and those who are not trained, they forget. Right? At night you advise them, shaitan ‘psh, psh, psh, psh, psh’ [whispering sound], in the morning they forgot everything you said and they get right back into that sin, right back into that character. So what was the benefit? This is very commonsense.

If you have the ability to hear and make it to be real in your life, your ears are solid, your ears are having a certainty. But if you hear and forget then the hearing is nowhere near certainty. Say, ‘No, but, but, but, I can yell because of this, I can bother because…’ no, no. The command was no. So there’s no excuse, it’s just no. As a result, you hear and you implement, you hear and you implement and that becomes the reality. So when we hear the Hadith, ‘Who knows himself will know his Lord,’ then we take a life in which to know myself. ‘Oh Shaykh said so many times to meditate,’ you ask the people, ‘Are you meditating?’ ‘No, I was about to, but no.’ That, that becomes essential, that becomes an essential tool. Then all of a sudden a difficulty comes and something happens say, ‘Why, why, why is like that?’ I said, ‘But yeah, but if you had meditated and had you contemplated and your connection was strong, you would have felt inspired to fix that before that difficulty came.’

That was why the training comes, that’s why inspiration comes to those who communicate, who connect their hearts. If they don’t connect their heart, doesn’t mean Allah (AJ) is stopping His plan, it is still coming towards you but you’re not meditating to pick it up. So either they’re going to hit you in the head then you’ll know and you say, ‘Oh, oh what happened, what happened Shaykh?’ Say, ‘I don’t know but if you meditated maybe you have been inspired to lower your head and it would have missed you.’ That’s then yaqeen. So it doesn’t mean you’re going to stop Allah (AJ). Whatever Allah’s (AJ) plan is, it is coming for people. So it’s a matter of the servant wanting intuition and understanding so then they took a path in which to hear and to obey.

So means then they understand themselves, find their character, they do their tafakkur, they do all of the goodness in their character and they try their best to reach to these realities, inshaAllah. Then Allah (AJ) grants their hearing to have a yaqeen and then it begins to pull the lock off the ear. When they meditate and contemplate, well what’s a symbol of that lock on your ear? It is when shaitan can waswas (whispering) into your head all the time. Do you think your energy is strong if shaitan can whisper in your ear all day long? How he got there and how he stays so close if you have energy? So scientific. If shaitan is like on your earlobe, your energy field is very bad, so something in your program is deficient. Say, ‘Oh yeah I don’t keep wudu shaykh, oh well not all the time.’ What do you mean not all the time? What kind of answer is that ‘not all the time?’ If you don’t, if you don’t have wudu at all times, you’re getting attacked and beaten. If that’s acceptable to you then okay. Then when difficulties and sicknesses come then you know this is the answer for yourself.

So this is a way in which everything is essential. So we heard, okay these are the things we have to do. We’re going to build our energy and satanic attack and energy attacks are going to be everywhere. Then the shaykh said, ‘We keep our wudu,’ we keep the wudu. It means then the person is certain on that. When they keep their wudu, what happens? They have an energy. They do their tafakkur, they’re continuously doing their tafakkur so that they can have energy. When the energy comes, it pushes everything away.

When you ask them, ‘Have you done tafakkur lately?’ ‘No, no, no, not for a long time.’ Okay well that’s why the energy, negative energy is all over you. Say, ‘Oh but I thought I’m in the tariqah?’ Yeah but you’re in the tariqah and Allah (AJ) is wondering why you’re not following these shaykh’s teachings? So you’re being tested on one – deficient in yaqeen and certainty, deficient in the ability to hear and to implement what you’ve heard because you’re now accountable. Every word that comes from his mouth, makes you now more accountable to Allah (AJ) above common people. Because the reward is higher than common people. If common people were held in contempt of court for what they knew, imagine then the khawas (elite) and those whom are in trainings to elite status?

As a result Allah (AJ) asked them, ‘Why you don’t keep the wudu? Why you don’t keep your practices? Why don’t you keep your tafakkur and contemplation for your energy?’ Without that energy, these creatures are all over you all night long causing illnesses, sicknesses, all sorts of viral infections. The viral is them; viruses are them. They enter into the bloodstream, enter into the body, blisters, boils, everything. So how to avoid that? Well they should have been meditating, they should always keep the law of wudu and to build their energy, inshaAllah. So that these things don’t happen and then they gain the check mark of sincerity in their hearing. Otherwise what’s the purpose of saying, ‘I hear but I don’t obey,’ that’s the reverse of what Prophet ﷺ wanted. ‘Oh we are the community that we hear but we don’t obey.’ No, so we have to hear and we implement it in our lives then becomes commonsense. That’s how I get sincere with my hearing is that I hear and I obey in every aspect of my life, inshaAllah.

Question 5: Are schizophrenics when talking by themselves, are they hallucinating or are they talking with negative beings?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, it could be many, many things because when the wires are not connected in the head then it’s a free-for-all. So anything can be happening, they could be talking to themself and they can be talking to beings that only they see.

Because of drugs and alcohol then these things may have been burned; veils may have been burned and they’re now experiencing what they should not be experiencing. So it could be many things. That’s why then for the chemical imbalance then medicine is required. As a result of the medicine, it may help to stop the wires from dis-attaching and then there’s spiritual practices and everything that they’re doing. If they don’t take the medicine, the wires will dis-attach and they will lose the concept of reality. They hear, and once you know anytime we said before – if your knee is hurting and you enter into a boxing match, your opponent will begin to kick your knees. So if shaitan gets a feeling that your brain is not working, he’s coming after that and he’s going to play with it and destroy the person. So this is a very sensitive area.

That’s why you take the medicines, do your practices, you know keep your wudu, keep all these practices. These are to safeguard people from anything coming. So if your energy is strong, at least it pushes away that shaitan from trying to come close to the head. So that’s important in these last days and in the days of immense difficulties, immense difficulties in which the majority of people will lose their mind. If you know that studies are now coming out where they say, ‘Oh the safest drug was marijuana,’ it was the worst drug because of the inability of people to stop the level. When somebody drinks, they drink five glasses they pass out, throw up and go unconscious. But when they smoke, these people can keep going and they go to such levels that is just unbelievable on how much they can smoke in one day. Now doctors finally coming out, say, ‘Oh did you know that this causes schizophrenia.’

An immense amount of numbers, like unbelievable amount of users will begin to experience schizophrenia and all sorts of neurological damage based on the smoking of marijuana and the inhaling. Then they have all the lung issues, heart issues, mind issues and hallucinating issues in which they lost all concepts of reality and all sense of barakah and blessings. Because they soiled and destroyed their lungs and shaitan fooled them and now has destroyed and burned all of their brain cells. In some cases they said they have a yelling disease in which it’s just uncontrollable screaming and yelling because the brain is tormented and the person begins to feel that they’re being tormented.

So these are not by coincidence that the Western countries have released it on their streets. So these are a part of their system because again the end goal was what? Was to have six out of seven people non-existent upon this Earth. How are they going to get to this six out of seven people? Then you want to ask, ‘Why? Why is that happen? Why is it happening?’ Well, it’s already happening. What’s in your food? It’s a part of the six out of seven program. What’s in your toothpaste? It’s in the six and seven program. What’s in your water? It’s the kill the six out of seven program. Why are they releasing free drugs? It’s to kill the six out of seven program. Everything! When you understand that then you’re basically surviving on Allah’s (AJ) barakah (blessings). Say, “HasbunAllahu wa ni’mal Wakil.”

حَسْبُنَا اللَّـهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

3:173 – “HasbunAllahu wa ni’mal Wakil” (Surat Aali ‘Imran)

“Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.” (The Family of ‘Imran 3:173)

‘Ya Rabbi You have us located in these areas, our tawakkul (perfected trust in God) is upon You,’ and Allah (AJ) can make anything to be Angelic. He say, ‘Don’t worry. I wrote the program. Whatever they think they put into their food, I make your food to be from paradise. What they put into their air, you breathe from paradise realities, you eat from your paradise reality.’ So Allah (AJ) can give to His servant whatever Allah (AJ) wants but we have to reach to these realities of tawakkul and to rely upon Allah (AJ) by the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.

Question 6: How do we resist the brainwashing that the schools are giving – reorientation -without being disrespectful?

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Yeah, it depends upon the strength of the family with the children. That the family unit is strong and that they teach their children that, ‘Oh you know this is what shaitan is planning,’ shaitan is planning to corrupt people, to confuse people. Some people say, ‘Oh, we don’t want to talk about like issues.’ You don’t want to talk about issues; they have kids now in second grade giving graphic sexual books. So they have every intention to destroy the mind and hearts of children in their system because of – they want 6 out of 10 out.

So people then have to sit their children down and say that, ‘Yeah we don’t believe in these things. These things are completely haram (forbidden). These are bad for the soul, bad for the body and that we are people whom follow the way of Allah (AJ) and follow the love of Prophet ﷺ,’ and we teach them. They’re going to do this and they’re going to do that and that’s why they sit and they have their children watching our talks. Say, ‘Oh shaykh said that, shaykh said that,’ so that they believe – yeah. No, this is not happening to you as a coincidence that these are all planned things that are happening.

As a result if the child can be taught that these are dangerous and then those are the days that the children stay home when they’re going to have those events. Or if things become so bad then people teach their children at home. So it depends on each condition how bad these conditions get and how insistent they are in the destruction of the minds and hearts of people. Then everybody has to take appropriate action at that time. If it’s something sustainable and they can withdraw and keep the children at home from those days or then they find an Islamic school, a chartered school.

Many people have come to us and they formed with groups of people chartered schools in which they get together and begin to teach. So you know in every condition then we have to provide a different opportunity and different understanding but to be on top of everything to moderate everything. What’s happening, what are they doing because we are hands-on people. We don’t have both people working and not knowing who’s going and raising the children. That we have to take an active role in what they’re being taught, who’s saying what, what, what’s going on and yeah, inshaAllah.

InshaAllah Bi niyat e Khatm e Khwajagan (Zikr of the Masters of the Naqshbandi Way).

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.
