Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen, was salaatu was salaam Ashraful Mursaleen, Sayyidina wa
Mawlana Muhammadul Mustafa ﷺ.
Bi madadikum wa nazarekum Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Messenger), Ya Habibul
‘Azim (The Beloved of the Magnificent).
Alhamdulillah, A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Atiullah wa atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.
And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal ‘ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahli,
and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are still in existence.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen Ya Rabbil ‘arsh ul ‘Azim.
Allahu ala hayy, ala Hayyul ya Qayyum.
Bi madadikum wa nazarekum Sayyidi ya Rasulul Kareem.
Alhamdulillah on such a blessed night and blessed weekend and zikr (Divine remembrance)
of Allah (AJ) that this immensity of Isra wal Mi’raj (Night journey and Ascension)
is an immense rahmah (mercy) for the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
That as Allah (AJ) brought up the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to His Divinely
Presence and that, that reality and the arwah (soul), the light and the nur of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ is in a continuous Mi’raj (Ascension) and movement towards the Divinely Presence.
As a result of that immensity of that station and proximity to the Divinely Presence we’re
all blessed by that light, dressed by that light.
And that Allah (AJ) opens that gate on the 27th of Rajab to sit and to be dressed and
blessed by that emanation, a door towards that reality to uplift the servant, grant
the servant a dress and a light that can’t be achieved by any action other than the action
of love because the one whom loves Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ sits to meditate and contemplate
on such a great event, in such a blessed event.
Only through that observation and the observance of that night and sitting in that night in
praise and in praying, in zikr – chanting, and all good actions then in the next day
sitting to be dressed by its realities, blessed by its realities.
Alhamdulillah Allah (AJ) grants that from love.
That ‘ashiqeen and lovers, lovers of the Divinely Presence, lovers of the reality of
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, they come with that love and only by means of that love their
souls are on a mi’raj flying into that reality like a comet.
If Prophet ﷺ is in front moving into that ocean, into that reality then all the ‘ashiqeen
(lovers) their souls are being dressed and blessed by that light, its beatific lights.
Such an immense night in which Allah (AJ) brings all the angels, means all of paradises
are adorned on this night, that all the angels from paradise they come out to greet the reality
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
There’s no time.
That means it’s a pardeh (veil), a light and event that is a perpetual event.
That, that hijab (veil) when we hit onto the 27th of the 7th lunar month then this entire
dress of all the angels coming out of their paradise realities to greet the Muhammadan
light as it’s being dressed and blessed.
And all the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that are accompanying with that love moving
in that Mi’raj to be dressed and blessed by these lights.
The immensity of the Divine love for that reality and alhamdulillah by just loving and
imitating that love, Allah (AJ) granted us this immense opportunity to be dressed and
to be blessed by it.
InshaAllah Allah (AJ) complete His ni’mat (blessing) and His favours upon our soul,
and dress us from the heat where you feel the heat within your being of that light and
of that love.
And by means of that light to cleanse us, take away every difficulty from us and to
bless us.
As the world is coming into its final chapter that Allah (AJ) complete His favours upon
our soul, upon our families, our communities and all our loved ones.
That, Ya Rabbi dress us from these lights, bless us from these lights and that for sake
of… for the sake of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ forgive us our wrongdoings and our bad character,
and regardless of those Ya Rabbi dress us and bless us for the sake of your love for
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi
rabbil ‘aalameen.
Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
Barakah shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem.
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘aalameen.
That when we talked about the particle and the wave always a reminder for myself that
– the nafs (ego) somebody has asked that the nafs its role in this understanding is
to keep the servant from becoming a wave.
So means that everything that the nafs it inflicts upon a person and their humanity
is to keep and restrict them from achieving their wave reality, to achieve the light reality
that’s within them.
And that’s the role that the nafs is playing is to keep the person to be in their physical
and in their physical desires and that’s the difficulty of achieving any spirituality
or any significant improvement in our spirituality if we can’t reach to the wave reality.
So that was an interesting email that somebody had asked that, ‘What’s the role of the
nafs in the particle and the wave?’
And Allah (AJ) put the nafs there as a source in which to keep us as a particle and that’s
our testing in life.
If we’re going to follow the nafs then the nafs whole duty is to make us a particle in
which we are not capable of observing ourself and that we don’t reach to any spiritual
maturity so that we constantly are required to remain under supervision and as a result
of that supervision we cannot reach to our wave reality.
And those that follow their nafs too much and their desires then you can see that its
completely making them particle.
So much particle almost like a statue that they’re not just semi-dunya they’re like
full dunya (material world) and they become what they call what?
What’s a popular terms for these people?
‘Idols.’
So there’s nothing hidden.
Shaitan (satan) makes everything to be out.
It’s that people just don’t have ears and eyes to see it.
That when they become so much in their dunya they actually become mujassamiyoon – they
become a statue, they become an idol.
They have no longer any, any relationship to their soul and to their wave reality.
They have calcified and actually has become a statue.
And as a result of their statue-ness they call out to people to worship them what they
call their ‘fans’ and those whom are idols and idol worshipers.
So you can see how much difficulty shaitan has put upon this earth.
If you think at idol worshiping before was for what?
That they took a symbol of something and thought by putting their attention on it which is
worshipness putting their…
all their thought and their mind and following, everything about their being is put upon that
idol thinking it had some sort of benefit for it.
And Allah (AJ) would describe that neither it can benefit you nor harm you, it actually
has absolutely nothing to do or for you.
And look at modern day idolism.
It’s from their own words not words we’ve made up.
They call themself ‘Idols’.
They have shows to make an idol.
And everybody who follows these idols they’re like worshiping them - every moment what they’re
doing, how they’re eating, what clothes they wear.
And Allah’s (AJ) reminding that the old school idol worshiping which is backwards
compared to today’s idol worshiping because today’s idol worshiping they have brought
an immense amount of technology into their idol worshiping. Old school idol worshipers
would look at us and say, ‘Woah where you guys took this.
You’ve taken it such an advance level.’
They had one little statue and look how much Allah (AJ) was angry with them.
Now everything in our existence on this earth now is an idol and which idol you think you’re
going to follow that will lead you to somewhere, have some sort of benefit for you, watch what
they drive, watch what they eat, watch what they dress, none of which you can do, none
of which has any benefit for you and has a tremendous amount of harm.
That it wasted human life, it wasted their focus.
Instead of focusing upon the reality and on the heavens and closing our eyes from this
world and trying to reach within our spiritual reality then Allah (AJ) is reminding for us,
‘Look at how shaitan has brought idol worshiping into your realm,’ and how significant it
is that 90 percent to 99 percent of the population are all following it.
We said before there are people with a certain style of recitation that come from South Central
Los Angeles but now they’re being the same recitation in Japan, in Hong Kong, in Indonesia,
all of the world and they have never seen these people but they sound like them, they
dress like them, they act like them.
And all of that is from the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ that, ‘You’ll follow people, you’ll
follow them.
You’ll follow them all the way until they take you within the hole.’
So they left their Islamic identity and they began to associate with these idols and begin
to worship them.
They give their money to them, they give their heart to them, they give their eyes, their
eyes and their breath to them.
We pray that Allah (AJ) destroy idol worshiping within our hearts, within our lives, within
our families and our children and our communities.
And that He open from His blessings this love and this ishq for Divinely Presence, that
only Allah’s (AJ) light can save us.
Means that when we sit for this night people asking, ‘What’s the importance of sitting?’
Because we don’t understand the danger that we have entered into.
When awliyaullah (saints) come and inspire within our heart that – you know that you’re
in the midst of immense idol worshiping, immense badness, immense ‘azaab (punishment), immense
ghadab and anger of Allah (AJ).
These nights what their importance are is just you’re lucky to be sitting on that
carpet because if Allah (AJ) begin to dress the soul, He dresses it and washes it from
His anger, washes it from any type of difficulty and badness.
And these are not things that can be taken away with just our salah (daily prayers) and
our zakah (charity).
It has to do with the ishq and love that, Ya Rabbi those whom they love Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ they’re gathering for that love, and Allah (AJ) promise in Qur’an, ‘I won’t
not punish them while you are amongst them and that they’re asking for forgiveness.’
Means every majlis (association) of ours we’re asking for Prophet ﷺ that, ‘Ya Sayyidi
ya Rasulul Kareem Allah (AJ) going to punish us.
We’re in the midst of immense difficulty, keep your nazar (gaze) upon us, keep your
love upon us, keep your company upon us for your company like is a shield from the anger
of Allah (AJ) and from every difficulty coming.’
With that love and with that ishq that you dress us and bless us.
Your majestic light if it looks to us it take every dirtiness away and make it be beatific
so that when Allah (AJ) look at that light He finds a happiness because He sees whom
He loves – He sees ‘Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ’ that light emanating from your heart
and from your souls.
The immensity of these nights and gatherings is not entertainment, it’s praying and immense
amounts of prayers and worshipness that, ‘Ya Rabbi let us to catch these blessings, save
us from these difficulties, save us from these hardships that are coming.
Wherever they, wherever they are in their homes, on their carpets, in their couches
wherever they are dress them from that rahmah, dress them from that blessing, take away the
dirtiness and difficulties in which shaitan has put upon us and made every type of hardship
to come upon us.’
Only through this love and this intercession, this intercession of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Every prophet received a gift.
Khalilullah, Ruhullah.
The gift of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is a shifa (healing) and intercession.
That why is it intercession?
Because Nurul Muhammad ﷺ (Light of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) is the only light that can destroy
every light and bring it back up to its majestic beauty.
Shafa’at al Kubra (The Great Intercession) on the Day of Judgment all nations, all nations
will be running to Prophet ﷺ with all their prophets (as) saying, ‘I’m not the one
who can save us.
Let us run to Sayyidina Adam (as), from Sayyidina Adam (as) let us run to Sayyidina Nuh (as)
to intercede for us, let us run to Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) and Sayyidina Musa (as) to intercede
for us.’
And they all gather to Sayyidina Isa (as) and Sayyidina Isa (as) will say, ‘No my
people worshiped me like a god, let us run to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ – the grand intercessor
for Allah (AJ).’
And Prophet ﷺ described, ‘I begin to make a du’a (supplication) that no one has heard
and I go into sujood (prostration) and I begin to make du’a and praise upon Allah (AJ).
And with every praising Allah (AJ) accepts.’
And awliyaullah have seen with their heart that the du’a that Prophet ﷺ is making
of lights and immense lights that emanate like waves.
We see in movies the imitation of the movie images a wave that hits every soul and crushes
all of its badness and brings it back up to its beatific light.
And Prophet ﷺ begins again another wave of light through his recitations, ‘Liwal
al hamd’ (Flag of Praise), that the significant power and majestic reality of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ is that tongue that reveals Holy Qur’an begins to make a zikr and a munajaat and a
du’a to Allah (AJ) as if the du’as of Qur’an coming out, that Allah (AJ) not to
refuse it.
The lights not something that can be imagined and like waves dressing upon souls taking
away every badness, every bad character and returning them to be beatific, angelic realities,
above angelic realities.
So we pray by these nights that we come and we sit for these events that Allah (AJ) recognize
that we’re only gathering for love Ya Rabbi.
That we’re trying our best to be of service and to be dressed by these lights, take away
difficulties, take away all our bad character, save ourselves, our family and our loved ones,
save our communities and keep us in the embrace and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
