InshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress us from the immense light of Sayyidina Uthman (as) – Jami’ul
Qur’an al Majid (the compiler of Honoured Qur’an), the holy companion of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.
On the 17th of Dhul Hijjah is the shahadat and the martyrdom of Sayyidina Uthman (as)
Jami’ul Qur’an al Majid Sayyidina Uthman ibn Affan (as), the holy compiler of the Holy
Qur'an; the one whom was tasked with putting together Allah's (AJ) uncreated words and
put them with the barakah (blessing) and guidance of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ into the Mushaf
(written copy of Qur’an) that we have now, the kitab (book) that we have now.
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us from those lights, bless us from his holy lights, his
holy nazar (gaze) and that he instil within our hearts the lights and secrets of Holy
Qur'an that Prophet ﷺ passed into his heart and made him to be a custodian of.
That the holy companions, they hold an immense love and Allah (AJ) created them for these
miracles and these immense blessings.
They're not from the physical that Prophet ﷺ chose but these are ancient souls that
were created for that purpose to serve Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, to be custodians of immense
realities, immense blessings.
And Allah (AJ) made it so easy for us to receive from these holy souls an immense grace, immense
blessing and by loving them.
As soon as we show love for them, we remember their sacrifice, their immense commitment
and difficulties that they strive for, to show their love for Allah (AJ), love for Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, that love bonds us with them.
That our way is... is not a difficult way.
Our ways is not a complicated way.
It's a way based on muhabbat, ishq and love.
That, Ya Rabbi that we are weak servants and we don't claim anything with our actions and
our ‘amal but we come through the door of muhabbat and love.
That our love for them, we recognize them, we celebrate their life, celebrate the immense
secret of their existence, we bring water, food, we post articles about this reality
so that Allah (AJ) dress us from the ocean of muhabbat and love and only with that bond
of love is… is power is beyond intelligence.
If you approach something through your mind and intellect and say, ‘Oh I will like such
and such person intellectually because they are very interesting,’ but the bond does
not get created at the level of intellect.
The bond is from the Hadith, ‘You will be with whom you love.’
That Prophet ﷺ gave to us an atomic reality.
That if you want your atoms, your wujud (existence) to be locked and in the orbit of somebody,
it has to be through muhabbat, it has to be through love; love from your soul that you
love them for the sake of Allah (AJ), you love them for the sake of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ and you love them for the sake of the secret in which they carry.
And based on that love we send our heart and our soul and that's the most powerful bond
– is that when your heart moves towards these holy souls and your light that follows
your heart begins to move towards these holy souls.
Then that drop of ishq (love), that light of love begins to convey unto the soul.
Means they begin to transmit immense lights, immense blessings onto the soul because, ‘They
be with whom they love.’
When they love them, that one that's holy and their souls are so blessed, they begin
to dress and emanate these blessings upon the soul.
This becomes the secrets of why we carry the secrets of Holy Qur'an, the secrets of all
these realities.
It's not from what we know but it's whom we love and in that love they dress us with these
blessings, bless us with these blessings.
By means of all these blessings all difficulties taken away and all stations and nearnesses
to Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Presence are achieved only through this key of muhabbat (love) and
ishq.
That we pray that Allah (AJ) open for us an understanding of love, understanding of ishq
and these holy companions that nothing can come close to the reality of what Allah (AJ)
created their souls of what reality.
That what type of orbit that they orbit around the existence and the reality of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ to which nothing can come near, nothing can be achieved in its nearness.
By means of loving them, Allah (AJ) draws our light into their reality, and the generosity
of their soul it begins to convey what Allah (AJ) wants them to convey and what their lights
begin to convey what Allah (AJ) wants them to convey.
So alhamdulillah, inshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress us from these holy lights and these blessings.
In this month of Dhul Hajj that the completion of a journey and the completion all related
to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that Allah (AJ) grants that reality of martyrdom
and the reality of Sayyidina Uthman (as) Jami’ul Qur’an al Majid in this holy month means
it's a gift for the nation.
That journeying into the heart of Qur'an, journeying into the lights of Qur'an and then
to be greeted on the 17th with Jami’ul Qur'an – the one whom compiled that reality and
put the secrets of what Allah (AJ) and Prophet ﷺ wanted of realities, dressed upon and
conveyed upon for the nation in which we have now today this Holy Qur'an, the Mushaf – the
book that all compiled, it's these blessings that came to us and dressed to our families,
our communities and all our loved ones.
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us with the immensities of these nights and
the blessings of these nights and that Allah (AJ) complete His ni’mat (blessing) upon
us and prepare for us the arrival of the holy month of Muharram, the month in which is a
new hijrah (migration) and that we start our hijrah with goodness, cleanliness, that we
wash as we prepare for the arrival of that month.
And that we make our two rak’ahs (cycles of prayer) stepping with our right foot asking,
‘Ya Rabbi I'm asking with my foot...’ because we step into everything holy through
the right foot that we take a step and then wait to another step, another step and then
pray two rak’ahs asking Allah (AJ), ‘Grant us the realities of Muharram and grant us
a life of hijrah and pilgrimage to His Divinely reality.’
And that we start the Muharram with Surat Al-Tawbah and the secrets of the 9th surah
(chapter) – Surah Tawbah and that Allah (AJ) grant us this gate of repentance.
Our way is... the entry is the gate of repentance, that to acknowledge that we are an oppressive
creature and that we've oppressed ourself and that glory be to Allah (AJ) and that I
verify and validate I am an oppressor to myself and that I'm asking Allah (AJ) to help me,
to dress me, to never let go of me and grant me this ocean of forgiveness.
So that pilgrimage starts with that reality of entering into Baab at Tawbah (door of repentance)
and the secrets of Surat Al-Tawbah and the immensity of Surat Al-Tawbah, we recommend
for everybody in the beginning of Muharram and then throughout Muharram to read Surat
Al-Tawbah.
So that we see that the ayatul kareem (the generous verse of Holy Qur’an) and all the
immense ayahs (verses) of Surat Al-Tawbah how much they're related to the tariqah (spiritual
path), how much it's a guidance for the tariqah and that each ayah is a immense jewel in the
oceans of those realities and the dress of that reality.
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi
rabbil ‘aalameen.
Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
