Sciences and understandings begin to open for humanity to give us an understanding of our reality, especially if the science is correct. Because this is akhir zaman (Last Days), Allah (Azza wa Jal)is opening of these realities; the importance of sound. We said many times but you never know if the third, fourth, fifth time it may click into somebody’s heart… huh, I didn’t hear that before. Because it takes a little bit of digesting, and digesting spiritually to truly understand.
What is Hamd (Praising)?
The world of form; for form to be manifesting there must be yusabbihu bihamdihi, there must be a hamd, and a praise.
17:44 – “Tusabbihu lahus samawatus sab’u wal ardu wa man fee hinna wa in min shayin illa yusabbihu bihamdihi wa lakin la tafqahoona tasbeehahum innahu kana haleeman ghafoora.” (Surat Al Isra)
“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt [praises] Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (Holy Quran, The Night Journey 17:44)
The world of form has an atomic reality, the atoms are moving at such a high speed that you see the form as if it is something solid; these are all atoms moving. These atoms have a zikr. It means the form, the atomic reality of it, and then when you found the atoms and went into the atomic level it is light. So form, the atomic reality becomes a light; everything is a Noor manifesting with a zikr that Allah (Azza wa Jal)gives to it and allows it to manifest. And the science of light, the existence of light is from an energy. There is an energy making that light to manifest and that energy is a hamd (Praise).
Muhammad محمد (saws) Has the Secret of Hamd حمد (Praise)
So means that zikr, the hamd is bringing the energy, so the source is what? Hamd. Our Prophet’s name (alayis salaat wa salaam) is Hamd حمد (Haa, Meem, Daal), it is not a coincidence. “Most Hamd” “Mu-hammad محمد” (saws) means “Most Praised One”. Also within the name is the secret of praise. Because akhir uz zaman (era of End of Times) is that Prophet (saws) is coming to bring that reality, because we said the world of form and dunya is collapsing.
So the earlier Messages were based on form. From Ruh-ullah Sayyidina `Isa (a) which came as Ingeel, “the Spoken Word” which was based on sound, based on what is coming from the tongue. Then came the Holy Qur’an, means it is a kitaab (Book) that is recited, it is through a sound, through who? A hamd! Coming to you a Messenger who is the Most Praised, Liwa al Hamd (Flag of Praise).
That Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)’s tongue is the tongue of the Divinely Presence. And through that Divinely Tongue that Allah (Azza wa Jal) is giving to the soul of Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is coming Allah’s Kitaab that is not created. Azhamatul Qur’an (greatness of holy Quran) is that it is not created, it is from Allah Azza wa Jal’s Ancient Words coming through the holy tongue of Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
When we understand the world of form, then becomes atoms and molecules. These atoms and molecules are light. This light for it to be in existence is a hamd, it is a praise. They call that in their science “String Theory” everything has a praising and a vibration. Allah (Azza wa Jal) says, “for Verily everything is praising Me.” Allah (Azza wa Jal) gave everything a zikr.
17:44 – “Tusabbihu lahus samawatus sab’u wal ardu wa man fee hinna wa in min shayin illa yusabbihu bihamdihi wa lakin la tafqahoona tasbeehahum innahu kana haleeman ghafoora.” (Surat Al Isra)
“The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt [praises] Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (Holy Quran, The Night Journey 17:44)
Tame and Control the Body through Islam
So you contemplate that world of form, and we want to break down the world of form. Because we are not here for the form; you are not here to perfect the body because the body is going into the qabr (grave). All the actions we do in Islam is to contain and control the donkey and we call the body ‘the donkey’! The body is not going to Allah Azza wa Jal. So don’t be preoccupied with the body. You have to tame and bring Islam to tame the body, control the body, control the bad characteristics, and control the bad desires; so that the Noor and light of the soul can become free. The light of the soul is entrapped within that body.
Noor jan dar zulmat abaad e badan gum karda am
Ah az een Yusuf ke man dar perahan gum karda am
I have lost the light of my soul
in the darkness of my body
O, this Joseph
That I have lost in the shirt
(Mawlana Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi)
Everything that is important for us is Malakoot (heavenly realm). Mulk (earthly realm) we exist within it to return back to the heavenly realm and kulli shayy, the Malakoot in Surat Yaseen;
36:83 “FaSubhanal ladhee biyadihi Malakutu kulli shay in wa ilayhi turja’oon.”
“So, Exalted is He in Whose Hand is the dominion over all things and to Him you will be returned.” ( Surat Yaseen 36:83)
Allah describes “it is all encompassing”, because He is giving us the science of it that the world of light encompasses the world of form. You see it as a form but these (objects) are atoms, these are molecules. When they look these atoms and molecules under their electron microscopes and devices, they see lights, which became (known as) “Quantum Theory”.
Quantum is the theory of light. They found that light is having a praise, and a zikr. Means everything (to exist) when you go back to its source is based on a praise, based on sound. And why the last and final Messenger to bring the end of the world is based on praise. That Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is the Flag of Praise, alayhi ‘s-salaat wa salaam, to bring the Message of Allah (Azza wa Jal), to bring the realities of Allah (Azza wa Jal). And on the resurrection to make another praise that will bring everything down and then bring everything back.
36:49 – “Ma yanZhuroona illa sayhatan wahidatan ta akhudhuhum wa hum yakhissimoon.”
“They do not wait for aught but a single Blast/Shout: it will seize them while they are yet disputing among themselves! (Quran 36:49) (Yusuf Ali)
36:53 – “In kanat illa sayhatan wahidatan fa idha hum jamee’un ladayna muhdaroon.” (Surat Yasin)
“It will be no more than a single Blast/Shout, when at once, they will all be brought up before Us!” (Holy Quran, Yasin)
When Allah (Azza wa Jal) resurrects (all Creation) and the intercession of Sayyidina Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). It means then the importance of sound is everything. Then our whole life’s pursuit is based on the sound.
People who are overly thinking about the form they have got it wrong. That the emphasis on the form is very temporary. You wash, you clean, you discipline and that is it. You are not taking the body into the Divinely Presence, that body is actually going into the qabr (grave). When you begin to understand that, yaa Rabbi I cleaned the body but let me energize my soul and my light. Then they teach, if you want to energize the light fix your praise. Your light is manifesting based on a sound.
Zikrullah and Praising Prophet (s) will Raise your Station
Then why is zikrullah so important? Why is praising on Sayyidina Muhammad salallahu alayhi wa sallam so important?
64:1 “Yusabbihu lillahi ma fis Samawati wa ma fil ardi, lahul Mulku wa lahul Hamdu, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay in Qadeer.” (Surat al Taghabun)
“Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting [praising] Allah . To Him belongs dominion, and to Him belongs [all] praise, and He is over all things competent. (Holy Quran 64:1)
Means it is the best of ‘amal because it is an ‘amal that will raise the darajat (station) of your light. So now your light is at a certain praise, you will see it now in the world of negativity and darkness. Every sound that they emanate ‘uuuu rrrr hh’ like a rock concert, all their bad noises that they are emanating is what? To take the frequency to the lowest level. The shaitanic and satanic frequency emanate a sound which is very low on the spectrum of sound, to bring what? Because Shaitan knows the reality. That if I want to collapse this human, if he is emanating from this (higher) frequency and the light which Allah (Azza wa Jal) gave, because everybody is born on purity and Allah (Azza wa Jal) gave a pure light and they are emanating at a certain frequency, Shaitan’s role is to bring that emanation down.
What you Hear and Say affects the heart and Soul
By listening to rap and listening to these horrible sounds, horrible words, Shaitan is bringing that person’s soul down. Because what you hear is affecting the soul; what you hear affects the heart. What you praise and what you say affects the heart, affects the soul, they are both linked. So Shaitan’s duty is to take your frequency down and as soon as he brings it down he brings the spectrum of your light down. If he brings the spectrum of your light down, you can become possessed, you can be under satanic attack. That is the whole desire of Shaitan.
Now turn and look to the dunya, what do they have? An iPod. From the time walkman came out the whole world is covered with the bitten apple. Why the bitten apple? because Allah (Azza wa Jal) is merciful and great. Allah (aj) says: this dunya is a program, I already wrote it if you are a little bit clever you can pick up all these different signs. Shaitan is using the apple that took us from Paradise, their logo is the bitten apple. So you don’t have to think so hard. He uses that device to do what? To lower the frequency of the believers. By lowering the frequency of the believers, he affects their light, lowers their light, they have lowered their defense system. By lowering the defense system, the satanic attack can begin and difficulty and harm, everything comes to the body.
Rahmatal lil ‘Alameen Brings the frequency up
So now liwa ‘l-hamd, ‘the Flag of Praise’, and Rahmatan lil `Aalameen comes onto dunya and brings the frequency back up.
21:107 – “Wa maa arsalnaka illa Rahmatan lil’alameen.” (Surat Al Anbiva)
“And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” (The Prophets 21:107)
That as much as you are reading Holy Qur’an, as much as you are reciting, as much as you are in durood shareef and in praising; your frequency is moving, moving towards Haqq. What does Allah describe as Haqq? That Haqq and batil don’t mix. When the frequency goes up, the light emanating from the soul is becoming more powerful. When the light of the soul is becoming powerful, then Haqq and falsehood don’t get along.
17:81 – “Wa qul jaa al Haqqu wa zahaqal Baatil, innal batila kana zahooqa.” (Surat Al-Isra)
“And say: “Truth has (now) arrived, and Falsehood perished: for Falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish.” (The Night Journey 17:81) Yusuf Ali
Means if falsehood and evilness begins to come towards you, with that frequency of light, with that frequency that the zikr and salawat and durood shareef is making upon the soul, and raising the power of the soul; that negativity moves away and it doesn’t want anything to do with that. It is going to be zahooqa. Allah (Azza wa Jal) says, “It (Haqq) will destroys it.”
Build the Haqq by Zikr and Praising
The Haqq, as much as we can build the Haqq (truth) through recitation and praising, that is the way to raise the frequency. So awliya and pious people come into our lives and say, “That is the best of your ‘amal because is not mandatory, it is sunnah and that ‘amal will raise you to Heavens. By attending the majlis of zikr, by making your durood shareef, by making your zikr, by doing recitations and reading of Holy Qur’an, first of all.” All of those recitations, those ‘amal (actions) are powerful ‘amals for the frequency of the soul. It changes the frequency, begins to shatter the frequency and raises it. Anything towards the Divine when it shatters, it raises and rebuilds, raises and rebuilds.
And now in dunya as we said a few months back, that Shaitan will introduce sound weapons. He understands that reality, he understands that he can take a structure and with sound begin to manipulate the structure, play the frequency and then shatter it! So you Google the physics of sound and you see many items they put up and manipulate the physicality of that item based on its sound. This is that reality. Shaitan knows that reality and is going to weaponize that reality, to make a weapon out of sound.
And Allah (Azza wa Jal) gave us the best defense which is zikrullah! Means every time we are in praising, every time we are in durood shareef, every time we attend the majlis of zikr, the energy that is coming from that is not something that can be imagined. You raise the frequency of the soul, the light, the illumination of the soul is changing and that is the defense of the body pushes away difficulty, pushes away bad characteristic and brings us closer to the reality that Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wanted for us.
Every Majlis should have Zikrullah and Durood Sharif
Twenty people talking has no benefit to anybody’s soul. If you have an event and twenty people come to talk and keep the audience listening to talk after talk has absolutely no benefit for your soul. If they are not a real one and they are not from ‘Ibaad ur Rahmaan. When ‘Ibaad ur Rahmaan speak, they speak from their heart and the energy coming from their heart will affect your heart, will affect your soul. If not of that caliber all the talk of the world goes to your head and your head takes it, shuts down and falls asleep.
But zikrullah and majlis of zikr, means anytime there is a gathering, there has to be zikr, and there has to be a mehfil of durood shareef on Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) that becomes a Paradise halaqa (circle).
Hadith 5
`Hazrat Anas (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (PBUH) said: When you pass the gardens of paradise then graze well. They asked: What are the gardens of paradise? He replied: The gatherings of Zikr.`
Why? Because now the lights of Paradise are coming. Inallaha wa malaaikatahu yusaloon alan Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
33:56 “innAllaha wa malaaikatahu yusalluna ‘alan Nabiyi yaa ayyuhal ladhina aamanu sallu ‘alayhi wa sallimu taslimaa. ” (Surat AlAhzab)
“Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O you that believe! Send your blessings on him, and salute him with all respect. ” (Holy Quran, The Combined Forces, 33:56)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates from Rasulullah (Prophet Muhammad PBUH) that `there is a group of angels who patrol the earth and wherever they find any gathering of Zikr they call out to each other and form a circle around this gathering that reaches to the sky. When this gathering disperses, they return to the sky…`
Means then Allah (Azza wa Jal)’s praising begins to descend, the angels praising begins to descend and people begin to heat up; their energies and frequencies are changing, the illumination of their light begins to change and their whole being begins to change. We pray that Allah (Azza wa Jal) grants more and more understandings and keep us surrounded with the majlis of zikr and majlis of sallu alan-Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Subhaana rabbika rabbil izzati `amma yasifoon wa salaamun `alal mursaleen wa ‘l-hamdu lillahi rabbil `aalameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad ul Mustafa wa bi sirri surat al Fatiha.
