Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Atiullaha wa atiur Rasula wa Ulil amre minkum
And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal ajizu daifu miskeen wa zalim wa jahl and but
for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are still in existence.
Alhamdulillah that this is the gate of maghfirah and forgiveness, this is the beginning of
our year and start it with good actions, good character, good akhlaaq, love of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, love of Ahul-bayt e-Nabi ﷺ (Holy Family of Prophet ﷺ), love of the
Holy companions and that to remember their lives is our faith.
They set the example through their deeds and good actions of how they conducted themselves,
they are the exemplars of faith and the heroes of Islam in which we emulate and copy their
way, copy their character to reach Divine satisfaction and communicate with us, email
with us.
As soon as you open and email and ‘Helpme@nurmuhammad.com’ you build a relationship with the shaykh if
that’s the guide that you want, that’s a guide towards that reality you begin to
open that relationship and the familiarity so that it’s not something so distant and
that you feel distant from it, it becomes very close this understanding and this relationship
that you contact, ask the questions that you have.
Remember the questions are not to question the teaching but to get understanding and
open the heart and in reality, that when you study these subjects, study these websites,
the books, the articles, everything that you’re studying and there so many different subjects
whether you’re going to study the energy, the meditation, the huroof (Arabic letters),
the realities of the heart, the realities of Surat al-Yasin ﷺ and the heart of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, reality of the Hajj (pilgrimage) all of these realities and teachings to open
a reality within the heart.
And once you start to study them and made that connection then you come to the zikr
(remembrance, chanting) and to these associations, into these talks and wait for your answer.
That this intention that we put within our heart if it’s something that’s necessary
for our spirituality then it sends a isharat (sign) and sends a signal like a radio signal
from heavens and then the shaykh begins to talk on these subjects and they answer the
question.
So, don’t be waiting to, ‘I want an answer, I want an answer,’ you become so busy and
preoccupied trying to get an answer but you didn’t really even hear the answer coming
or you’re so busy trying to ask a question that you didn’t really hear the answer that
came in the talk and that’s the miracle of tariqa (spiritual path).
That you build the relationship, you put the concern within your heart and like a heavenly
radio it begins to answer everyone’s heart.
So, everyone is hearing what they need to hear and those whom are always in a state
of tafakkur, contemplation they pick up the signals that they need because the seeker
of the way is continuously seeking and seeking God’s secret in everything that, ‘I made
a connection, I’m of service whether I serve through my actions, my deeds through what
Allah (AJ) has given to me and so I’m a part of this reality and then every time I
have a concern within my heart and it’s something that it’s necessary for my spirituality
most likely that signal will be coming and through that Divinely channel it begins to
answer that in the talks.’
This gate of forgiveness, this opening of Surat al-Tawbah, this opening of Muharram
and somebody emailed today about a crime, a horrible crime that was committed that they
went to jail for that crime and they’ve tried their best by listening to making their
maghfirah, to asking for forgiveness, asking people that they harmed and that were involved
in that harming for forgiveness.
Then asked, ‘Can you guarantee me that Allah (AJ) will forgive me?’
An interesting question and A’udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir
Raheem.
That to guarantee that Allah (AJ) will grant you a forgiveness is not possible that we’re
not in this to speak beyond our ability or beyond our authority but awliyaullah (saints)
have a hikmah and a wisdom that they’ll teach you a way and a system in which to reach
to certainty.
And if you are just asking Allah (AJ) for the crime that you did, the actions that you
did and asking, ‘Ya Rabbi forgive me, forgive me, forgive me’ hamdulillah this beautiful.
But they come and they teach you that from every hadith and ayat al-Kareem (verses of
Qur’an) when they say, ‘You don’t talk about Qur’an, you don’t talk about hadith,
this guy just pulls this stuff out of nowhere’ and that’s not fair because they’re noy
listening.
These teachings are all the secret and secret and secret behind Holy Qur’an.
The ayah that you read is very, is furqan, these are the ayah’s of right and wrong.
The ayah’s that they teach from their heart and transmitting through their servants and
those whom are muqaddam on their footsteps they’re the deep secrets behind these Holy
Qur’an and Holy Hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
And on this night of forgiveness and all of us think of all the wrong we did, all the
people who did wrong and all the people whom suffering through the wrongs that were done
to them then they ask that remember that Prophet ﷺ described, ‘You’ll be with whom you
love.’
It’s Holy hadith that, ‘You will be with whom you love’, Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Saddiq
alaihis salaam, Allah’s (AJ) definite peace and blessings be about them was so excited
by that, got up and circumambulated thanking Allah (AJ).
It was a big and tremendous key of all realities.
These are the secret and building blocks of the turuq (spiritual paths) when they come
and teach you, ‘Just this hadith is an answer for that question of forgiveness.’
Means that if you spend your life building the love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, you know
how much time you spent building the love for your spouse, for your children, for your
job, for your career, for your position all that time you spent on it do you think you
spent the equivalent in building the love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ?
Did you spend the equivalent?
Did you give the equivalent?
Did you do the equivalent?
If we spend our life on building this love with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, tahzim-e-Nabi
(honouring Prophet ﷺ), at every opportunity to do that we can to spread the magnificent
status of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
That if you like these talks, share them if you can’t talk like this talk it’s like
an orchestra.
The shaykh his gift was from Allah (AJ) to speak, I don’t sing and I don’t recite.
Somebody else’s gift is to recite beatifically, somebody else’s gift is to type, somebody
else’s gift is to work and they make a lot of money working, it’s an orchestra.
The shaykh brings everybody’s talents and abilities together for one direction and that’s
the direction to praise and raise the magnificent status on earth of the reality of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.
We’re not raising it but to disseminate that reality that we are Muhammadiyun, that
we are the people whom love Allah (AJ) and Allah (AJ) told us, ‘Qul in kuntum tuhibbon
Allaha fattabi’oni, yuhbibkumUllahu’
Our life is, “fattabi’oni,” that we’re not trying to follow and get the attention
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that to gain what?
Allah’s (AJ) love.
And then if we spend our time in salawats (praisings), spend our time spreading these
knowledges, spreading these pages, spreading these books, these articles, giving from Allah
(AJ) has given to us we’re a group and we become not just one, we become a collective
group.
All the people who are putting this broadcast together, all the people putting this internet
together, all the people supporting for its cameras, for its resources, for its abilities,
who are behind the scenes making websites and apps and all sorts of applications, the
people who come to the center to clean it, to provide for it, to bring food for it so
that all those people can sit there and do those things and for all the people online
whom watching, supporting and giving words of encouragement it’s an orchestra.
It’s a collective group of people coming together, bringing their love together and
then showing their love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
And when you do all these actions that the shaykhs are teaching you begin to have an
immense love for Prophet ﷺ and they remind you that when you feel love that is the greatest
gift of faith, love is not from you, love is not something that you can put into your
heart.
Nobody can force you to love something or someone.
Love has to come as a gift from Allah (AJ) and that is the gift of faith.
You cannot say, ‘I have faith but I don’t have love.’
Means then you’re lying to yourself and you misunderstood what faith is.
When Allah (AJ) loves you, He grants love in your heart, love in your heart for Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ is deposited by Allah (AJ), by the good deeds, the salawats, the actions,
tahzim that going around and doing the most I can do to get the attention of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.
As soon as that nazar (gaze) falls upon our being, Allah (AJ) grants a love and a light
begins to enter into the heart.
Then the understanding of that hadith is immense because when you start to do these actions,
don’t worry about the crime you committed, the actions that you’ve done, you’ve asked
Allah (AJ) for forgiveness, you tried to make your repentance, you go around and asking
people’s forgiveness for what I’ve done wrong and ‘Ya Rabbi I don’t want to do
again’ but for these great sins and these great difficulties the key and the secret
that you can be given a guarantee is to love for Prophet ﷺ.
If you find that a love has entered into your heart then you understand this hadith is that
Prophet ﷺ says, ‘You’ll be with whom you love’.
So, then if you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and Prophet’s ﷺ guarantee from his Holy
hadith is that, ‘You’ll be with me if you love me’ and your love is with your
actions and your deeds not your love by your mouth.
Not people who call themself holy by their mouth but are their actions and their deeds
are they of that reality then no doubt you’re with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and if you’re
with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ do you think that he’s not interceding for you.
Whatever that you’ve done of wrong in this love, it’s hundred percent guaranteed that
you’re under the intercession of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that’s out key, that’s
our guarantee that you can take that to the bank.
That when you spend your life in the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and you did it with
your deeds and with your actions and everyday you’re making your salawats, your practices
and whatever you can do and you begin to feel that love within your heart no doubt you’re
asking, ‘Sayyidi Ya Rasulul kareem (The Most Generous Prophet), Ya Habib ul-Azeem
unzur halana wa ishfalana that intercede for me.
My actions are weak, my deeds are contaminated.’
That no doubt Prophet ﷺ comes with muhabbat and love.
‘I’ve asked Allah (AJ) for far greater than this.’
Then reminds that Allah (AJ) said, ‘My mercy outdoes my wrath.’
Meaning what?
Allah’s (AJ) mercy is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, is teaching us, Allah (AJ) is teaching
us that ‘In the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, it far outweighs any anger I would have.’
If Prophet ﷺ is willing to stand with you, to pray over you, to intercede for you Allah
(AJ) says, ‘There’s no ghadab, there’s no anger in that presence.’
But if no one is going to stand with you and you just want to stand before your lord asking
forgiveness, Allah (AJ) ask,’ Where are your people?
Where’s Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ?
Did you not believe?’
And that’s scary.
To think that you’re going to go before Allah’s (AJ) presence by yourself.
So our whole life and our whole guarantee in life is to love whom Allah (AJ) loves.
Our love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that.
“Shahidan Mubashiran wa nazeeran” (witness and bearer of glad tidings and warner).
That He’s “Shahidan,” Qur’an describes the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is Shahidan
that He’s a witness over his people.
Qur’an is not old stories, Qur’an is now and eternal and Allah (AJ) even highers that
this reality is from the malakut (heavenly realm), Allah (AJ) doesn’t care about this
earth.
“Shahidan” means the soul of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is ever witnessing over all souls.
“Mubashiran” is that every goodness and every light is emanating from the reality
of that soul dressing everything around it.
“Wa nazeeran,” that if you are being dressed by this love and dressed by this light no
doubt that light begins to intercede and tells you that, ‘Don’t do this bad and do this
good, don’t do this bad and do this good.’
And begins to correct our khuluq, our character, correct all of our badness and evilness within
us and make it to be something pleasing and loving for Allah (AJ) to dress us and to bless
us.
InshaAllah Allah (AJ) dress us, bless us and guides us with this love and give such a firmness
of faith that your faith becomes so firm because you know how much you put love into it.
You know how much you put time into it, how much you put your resources into it, how much
you put every effort into it only you know how much you did and when you did whatever
you could do you have a sense of tranquillity within your heart that, ‘Ya Rabbi I’m
trying, make tomorrow to be a better day.
Give me more himmah (strength), more ability to do more InshaAllah.’
