Who Will Be The Chosen Survivors of End Times? Q&A
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 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.
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)
The Most Powerful Binary Code in Existence
Always a reminder for myself ana abdukal ‘ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence. Alhamdulillah in the holy month of Shawwal and all the realities of annihilation and for science people – the binary code, for the power and qudra of being ‘ON’ and being ‘OFF’ and the haqqaiq (realities) of La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ – the most powerful binary code in existence. Alhamdulillah that we went into all these things.
Make Comments and Post Your Synopsis on Videos
InshaAllah we’ll turn to our online audience and people whom are watching from home and see what they have and what they have absorbed of these teachings and these realities. Always remember please to comment on the videos that are being posted, on the short videos, the long videos and put a synopsis of what you understood from it. It’s nice because then people whom are logging in they can see all the activity and that people are actually listening and putting a summary. So inshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress everyone and bless everyone for their efforts and then to share.
Share as much as you can, share the app [Muhammadan Way]. Take from Dalail ul Khairat (book of praising on Prophet ﷺ), take from the du’as (supplications), take from the different sections of the app and begin to share them. For Facebook you can share to message then you’ll see the text, copy and then paste it onto Facebook. The more that we can share, the more that the app can be spread as people will read it and try to download it.
Alhamdulillah this platform that is ever-expansive so it means many more updates are coming. This is just the initial architecture to get out and then all of the upgrades and subsequent upgrades, the amounts of salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) that’d be put on, the Hadith books that will be put on and all of the different accessories inshaAllah. So be patient and any suggestions of what should be added compared to other apps that are popular, maybe discussion forums, different chats or different bots so inshaAllah you email inshaAllah at [email protected], inshaAllah.
Question 1: Sayyidi what does one do when fear is stronger than faith?
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: Increase faith, inshaAllah. That, that’s a part of the meditation, the tafakkur and the contemplation. That is to overcome the fear and the only way to overcome the fear because that’s the arch nemesis of faith.
When we have fear, it’s a hole in the energy of faith. That I analyzed what am I fearing; is it the death I’m fearing? Well I’m going back to Allah (AJ) and Prophet ﷺ. Fearing poverty? Allah (AJ) is the one who can give. Whatever the issue of faith then we have to sort of understand it, comprehend it and know that its remedy is with the faith. Whatever issue we have in fear, its remedy is with faith and to do our practices.
That’s why the tafakkur (contemplation) is the most powerful weapon against shaitan (satan) because you contemplate, you make your connection. As soon as you’re contemplating, you’re also making an accounting and a hisaab and an understanding of every situation. So it’s like playing a game or playing a chess game. The game it goes too fast in life if you’re not sitting and contemplating. To play a chess game against this dunya (material world) means that every step you’re sitting and contemplating. That, ‘Why I feel like that? What are the issues from that? Ya Rabbi let me to understand why is it that I have fear losing my job? Why is it fear that I… my faith is dropping? Why is it that I fear what’s coming into this world?’
Then by your contemplation and tafakkur and bringing the connection and the energy with awliya (saints) and their heart connected to Prophet ﷺ by doing the awrads (daily practices) and wazifas (spiritual practices) and all the practices, we begin to develop immense amount of light and the connection. Because through that rabita and through that connection is where the faiz (downpouring blessings) and the lights and all of these words that are used in tariqahs (spiritual paths) when they talk about faiz and emanation and Divine Grace.
Well there are ways to randomly receive Divine Grace and there are ways to initiate the receiving of Divine Grace and that’s by taking these proactive steps. There are times you may just be doing anything and Allah (AJ) sends His tajallis (manifestations) upon the servant. But the more important is the one whom is trying to do particular practices to open those realities. So they do their tafakkur, they do their contemplation, they connect with the shaykh, they do their wazifas and awrads and zikrs (Divine remembrances) so that to open the door of that faiz and the emanation and the Divine Grace to dress the servant. It fills the pockets that are empty. It means that if something is empty in us that is causing us a fear then that tafakkur fills that and brings the energy and the light of that reality, inshaAllah.
Question 2: Sayyidi I feel I have benefited from the month of Shawwal teachings the most. Thank you Sayyidi for the easy to understand and relate to teachings. Many things in life are now based on 1 and 0.
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi: MashAllah, alhamdulillah. I think I learned the most too. That as we have an audience, we have to understand something that the everyone has an understanding of a word differently.
So means that when we teach humility and everyone has a different understanding of humility based on who they are. So somebody whom is a prince or royalty, their understanding of humility is that you have to come and serve them and they think that’s humility because you have to be humble towards them.
When you’re trained by a shaykh, not born into a shaykh but trained by a shaykh, he teaches you humility is to serve people. So it’s very different. Both are saying they’re humble because, ‘I’m giving you my presence so come and bow down to me.’ [The prince/royalty]. The other one is been taught as a student that, ‘No, I’m supposed to serve people. I go out and serve people. I bring them to the religion, I teach them about the religion. My life is a service and taught by my Shaykh – everyone is better than you.’ Don’t think yourself to be better. It’s just the position in which Allah (AJ) has put you. That you teach, they listen. Your service is to teach for if Allah (AJ) gave you this and you don’t teach then you’re an oppressor to these people. For why Allah (AJ) gave it to you?
That by your teaching you give them hope, by your teaching you give them an understanding that maybe they don’t have access to. They’re not going to do what you did and they’re not going to gain what Allah (AJ) has given to you. So it’s a way of dispensing what Allah (AJ) has given to that servant. So their teaching of humility is going to be different. Everyone has from their status a different understanding of humility. That’s why in the tariqah that when you’re trained as a student by the shaykh, it’s much different. Because the shaykh insults you, he yells at you, he puts you down, he’ll train you to do things and go places and complete humiliation and your life is about taking that humiliation, being patient with that humiliation and living a life of service.
That you want to, you don’t want to, you go out and teach, you talk, you inspire, you motivate and you give hope to people whom you don’t want them to become hopeless and move into the hands of shayateen (devils). Then inspire people to have similar lives.
So alhamdulillah, a great opening for us was the charity [MuslimCharity.com]. We said before that our charity work was that holy nights would come and we would have a cake and that was very charitable. Then Allah (AJ) opened for us then to really do charity in which we pick up hundreds of thousands of pounds of food probably monthly now. If you weigh the food in five different locations what they’re picking up, at least a hundred thousand pounds of food that would go into the trash is being distributed to people. Then thousands of wells a year are being produced for people. The orphanages that are being repaired; I think up to six or seven now are continuously maintained by the people, by giving the food and the qurban (sacrifice) and the meat and all of these distributions – thousands of pounds of this so that all the students have the same understanding. It’s not about everybody teaching but understanding faith has to be in action. If your faith is not in action, it’s worthless, absolutely worthless. Because Allah (AJ) describes, ‘We come across a people who prayed and we drag them on their face and throw them out. We came across a people whom they paid and they gave and Allah (AJ) got them and dragged them out.’ It means there’s many ahadith and many teachings like this that Allah (AJ) comes to actions and throws them.
عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ, عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ :” لأَعْلَمَنَّ أَقْوَامًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِحَسَنَاتٍ أَمْثَالِ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ بِيضًا فَيَجْعَلُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا”
[سُنَنُ ابْنِ مَاجَهْ ٤٢٤٥, كِتَابْ ٣٧، حَدِيثْ ١٤٦]
‘An Sawbana (ra) ‘anin Nabiyi ﷺ annahu qala: “La’alamanna aqwaman min ummati ya’tuna yawmal qiyamati bihasanatin amsali jibali tihamata baydan fayaj’aluha Allahu ‘azza wa jalla haba’an mansura.”
[Sunan Ibn Majah, 4245 Kitab 37, Hadith 146]
Sawban (ra) narrated that the Prophet (pbuh) said: “I certainly know people of my nation who will come on the Day of Resurrection with good deeds like the mountains of Tihamah, but Allah (AJ) will make them like scattered dust.”
[Sunan Ibn Majah 4245, Book 37, Hadith 146]
Awliyaullah (saints) come from the heart of Prophet ﷺ to describe to understand the reality of the action. That it’s not that we just want to be rewarded for our salah (daily prayer) – that’s selfish. Because the praying is good for you. But when you prayed and you prayed correctly and you have a softness in your heart, the end result was important. For Allah (AJ) your shahadah (testimony of faith) was… it’s not a ground shaking event. So go to the five pillars of Islam and look to them and say, ‘Which one of them do you think really impresses Allah (AJ)?’ Your shahadah that you accepted Allah (AJ)? He didn’t need you to accept Him or not. You came to salah, well good for you, you became wise that you should be praying to The One Whom made you and owns you.
That your zakah (charity) was a cleaning for you. It doesn’t give anything to Allah (AJ) because you’re giving zakah to each other because a brother should take care of his brothers and sisters. How you can sleep when other children are hungry and other people are hungry? You won’t solve hunger but you have to be written that you did something for it. Then after all of that you go for Hajj (pilgrimage), alhamdulillah you went first class, you went middle class, you stayed in huge hotels, nobody gets a tent in the middle of the desert to do Hajj. So we did everything luxurious for ourselves. Then what? We prayed our Ramadan and we ate a lot at night and slept in the day.
So our pillars are not so exciting for Allah (AJ) but in the end of doing all of that and continuously in our life that we do these pillars, we should have become somebody soft and caring in which those pillars open for us. Say, ‘Ya Rabbi, You gave me all these opportunities to worship You, grant my life to be of service. That I want to help people, I want to give food to people, I want to be to service of my shaykh to complete his mission, to do what he has to do.’
So we live a life, we find a way to serve and this is a great accomplishment for our team and they wear the logo. It’s not a ‘All Naqshbandis.’ We’re not one, we’re not definitely not one group. But for the SMC team because of the shaykh’s teachings and the example that they’re setting is that you live a life of service and put your faith in action. Alhamdulillah for all those whom are putting their faith in action. Now you come to the da’wah (religious propagation) and supporting da’wah. If you can’t make flyers all day long and you can’t do the teaching all day long, at least support the organization that’s doing that. So again the shaykh could just sit and say you know, ‘I got everything I need, I don’t need to do anything. Why do I have to tell them this is this month and this is the ‘urs (anniversary of passing), this is the shahadat (martyrdom). Hello, this is the Rajab, this is the du’a (supplication) for this?’ Why is the shaykh doing all of that? Because he was trained to live a life of service.
So the app comes and teaches you that open up an Islamic app today and see that there’s at least 10,000 ads because they want to monetize their app. Our app [Muhammadan Way App] has no ads. Just our own organization, our own charity and our own store [SMC Merchandise] and that app costs about a hundred thousand dollars to develop and that’s by our teams giving their support and making it to happen. Again, a sign of faith in action. So when the shaykh does it right and he was rightly guided to this path in which to live a life of service.
If all that you gained in your salah, your zakah, your shahadah didn’t put you into service, it was worthless. Because Allah (AJ) doesn’t need the prayers, He doesn’t need the money, He doesn’t need the Hajj that people are making. What He needed was servants who would serve the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Why? Because it raises the honour of Prophet ﷺ, the image of the honour because nobody can raise the honour of Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) has raised that. But put into the eyes of the people that this is the best of nations. Look how they take care of each other, look how their worshipness opened for them to be such good servants, caring servants.
So we said before the proof is in the pudding. Anyone sitting on a couch doing absolutely nothing and complaining about the organization, well inshaAllah Allah (AJ) inspire them to do better. You know make ten thousand wells from our 2500 wells, give hundreds of thousands of pounds of food versus our hundred thousand pounds of food. So it means you have now a benchmark. If you people can beat it then you’re welcome to it. If not, stay quiet because whatever is being done, people are actually putting their faith in action and the results are in the pudding – whatever we see. So we don’t have to say much, it’s already there.
The websites should start to track that. So somebody can help Mahdi to make sure that the website, the charity sites has to have a tracker. Maybe Jibreel can give information. Because you should be able to go to the website and every day see how many wells were made, how many thousands of pounds were given out that day. Because we have the statistics, we know what the monthly average of the pickups are, so that people can see. Every day they can count and see there’s a counter going and you see how many thousands of pounds are picked up again this year to date, how many thousands of meals were given out in Ramadan, how many wells are being made on a daily basis. These are the important things so that the students they lived a life like the shaykh in which they keep serving, serving until at the end you say alhamdulillah and you return back to Allah (AJ). Without that, our deen (religion) and our faith becomes stale.
If you worship just for the sake of your own worshipness, Allah (AJ) doesn’t need it, no one needs it. You’ll be the first ones to leave this earth. Only purpose to remain upon this earth now is to serve the nation and serve the nation through the tribulation and difficulty that is about to come upon the Earth. If not for a warner and a warning then this nation would have been left alone but Allah (AJ), ‘It’s the best of nations from paradise’ so Allah (AJ) leaves those to warn and to prepare that these difficulties that are coming that they won’t be left alone.
(١١٠) …كُنتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ
3:110 – “Kuntum khaira ummatin ukhrijat linnaasi…” (Surat Aali Imran)
“You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind…” (Family of Imran, 3:110)
That’s the purpose of these guidance, that’s the purpose of this app. The app had 40,000 users worldwide. When it did our stats and we were looking, there were pockets of people everywhere and we could see exactly where people are ringing in from. So the places even they don’t like us or they pretend not to like us, 80 people are logging in, 40 people are logging in so alhamdulillah. This is not about a popularity, this is about the da’wah and the necessity of service. That people need the information, this information saves them and keeps them to be connected especially in the last days. So alhamdulillah Allah (AJ) grant us “YansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza.”
(٣) وَيَنصُرَكَ اللَّـهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيزًا
48:3 – “Wa yansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza.” (Surat Al-Fath)
“And [that] Allah may help you with a mighty victory.” (The Victory, 48:3)
That through every difficulty and obstacle the only one who can plow through everything “YansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza. YansurakAllahu nasran ‘aziza.”
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.
