Who is an Ummati?
You must understand this today.
There are two stages of an Ummat.
Recognition of An Ummati: Are You An Ummati?
One is known as an original ummati, and the other is an adopted ummati.
An original ummati is one who accepted Islam by pledging to the hands of the Prophet (s),
became a momin and became an ummati of the Prophet (s).
After the physical passing of the Prophet (s),
when one acquired access to the Court of the Prophet (s) through the intermediary of a spiritual master,
and divine light enters his chest,
then such a person is an adopted ummati.
And one who couldn't reach the Prophet (s) and has not enlightened their chest
such a person is not an ummati - even if you recite the Kalima day and night.
To become an ummati, it is necessary for divine light to enter your spiritual heart.
Your spiritual heart must be awakened with the name of God
and the name of Muhammad (s) must be imprinted across all five souls of the breast.
When the spiritual personalities close their eyes, they can see the name 'Muhammad' imprinted across the chest of an ummati.
In the very early days,
I was sitting in a zikr gathering and I was striking the name of Muhammad (s) on my chest.
So, I was visualising 'Meem' (M) and 'Hay' (H), but I was unable to visualise 'Daal' (D)
I made several attempts but was unsuccessful and this left me very disheartened.
But believe me, at that very moment, I saw a group of angels arrive and they brought a bouquet of flowers.
That bouquet was made entirely of white jasmine flowers
and in the centre was written 'Muhammad', with red roses.
They handed that bouquet to me and said, 'This bouquet has been sent for you by the Prophet (s)'.
I held the bouquet and held it to my chest out of love,
the moment I did, the bouquet disappeared into my chest.
Since that day, I can see that very name 'Muhammad' decorated in my chest at all times.
The name 'Muhammad' that was written with red roses.
I can see it.
For Prophet Muhammad's (s) name to be etched into one's chest and for God's name to enter one's heart -
You see, there are three different stages of a momin.
One is a Master of Zikr, one is a Master of Visualisation and the third is the Master of the Name [of God].
A Master of Zikr is someone whose heartbeats are activated with Zikr Allah, that is it.
He has not been rendered visualisation. He is a Master of Zikr.
One who has been rendered visualisation can visualise the name of God on their hearts along with the zikr.
There are fewer individuals as such.
The last category of a momin is when the name of God is rendered by God,
and then the name of God is very beautifully inscribed on the heart.
However, when it comes to the veracity of an Ummati,
then it is important for those of all three categories - Master of Zikr, Master of Visualisation, Master of the Name -
to have the name, 'Muhammad' inscribed upon their chest.
If it is not inscribed on their chest, they will not be granted the Personal Name of God.
These are the fine points.
If you are not rendered the name 'Muhammad' from the Prophet (s), then forget about the name of God. It will never happen.
Because the name 'Muhammad' is vital to control [the majesty of] the name of God.
Who else will control the majesty of God's name?
Reciting Darood Sharif verbally to cool down the effects of God's name is not effective.
I have personally heard from the Prophet (s) -
What did I hear?
The Prophet (s) said, 'Upon whomsoever's chest my name is inscribed,
then their every breath is equivalent to Darood Sharif'.
Every single moment of theirs is considered part of Darood.
Every single uttered word is considered Darood.
Every single thing they say is considered to be an element of the Prophet's mercy.
Because a thought is first in our mind, and before it is uttered by our mouth, the thought crosses our ethereal spirits
and the ethereal spirits are coloured in the hue of the Prophet (s),
so, every thought first collides with the name 'Muhammad' before it is uttered,
and it shall include the mercy and blessings of the Prophet (s).
And listening to such people speak shall render you serenity.
You will become addicted to listening to them.
You will become addicted because their words include the mercy of the Prophet (s).
Their words include the divine light of the Prophet (s) -
their words and their actions include the light of God.
So, the name of the Prophet (s) to be inscribed upon the chest,
and the zikr or visualisation or the inscription of the name of God on the heart - this is the recognition of an Ummati.
And when the name of the Prophet (s) has been inscribed upon one's chest,
then it means that they shall witness the Prophet (s), it is written in their fate.
Sooner or later, they shall witness the splendour of the Prophet (s).
One who has the name of the Prophet (s) inscribed upon his chest - it means the Prophet (s) has selected you to witness his splendour.
This is the recognition of an Ummati.
So, those upon whose chest is inscribed the name of Muhammad or the name of God written on the heart, either one -
it makes no difference whether it is 'Allah' or 'Muhammad'. Both work the same.
It is possible that 'Muhammad' alone be written on the chest, but it is not possible that 'Allah' alone be written on the heart.
Yes, that's right.
Because 'Allah' is written through the medium of 'Muhammad'.
You become an Ummati even if just 'Muhammad' is written [across your chest].
However, it is impossible that your chest is imprinted with the name 'Allah' and not 'Muhammad'.
This is impossible.
