Bi madade Kum wa nazare kum Sayyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem (The Most Generous Prophet) Ya Habibil
‘Azim (The Beloved of the Magnificent).
“A’udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem.
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Was Salatu Was Salaam Ashrafil Mursalin Sayyidina wa Mawlana Muhammad ul Mustafa ﷺ bi Madadakum
Ya Sayyidi Ya Sultanul Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Abdullahil Faizad Daghestani, Sultanul Awliya
Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil Al Haqqani, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Adnan Kabbani,
Shaykh Muhammad Adil, Abdul Khaliq Gujdawani, Sahibul Zaman Sayyidina Muhammadul Mahdi (as),
wa Ruhullah Sayyidina ‘Isa (as), Sayfullah Sayyidina ‘Ali (as), Thumma Sayyidina Abu
Bakr As-Siddiq, Sayyidina Umar, Sayyidina Uthman, Imam Al-Hassan (as), Imam Al-Hussain
(as), Sayyidina Fatimatuz Zahra (as), Fi barakat e Laylatul Raghaib,
And the blessed night in which the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ passed from Sayyidina
Abdullah (as), his blessed father into the holy womb of Sayyidatina Amina (as), into
that blessed womb and Allah (AJ) sending immense openings upon this earth and the seal of creation
to manifest from the kingdom of heavens coming to the earth to put the seal on creation.
That the deen (Religion) of Allah (AJ) complete, this way of Allah (AJ) is complete and all
of creation to reach their ma’rifah (Gnosticism), and they can't reach without the Imam (religion
leader) without the king to step into that reality first and everyone steps behind the
king into the presence of Divinely realities and Divinely lights.
It’s called the Night of Desires and inshaAllah Allah (AJ) grant the desires that are of benefit
to the souls of insan (mankind).
So many times we get emails from people and particular impatient people that continuously,
‘Oh when’s things going to open, when’s it going to open?’
And then they have even a rude tone in their asking and challenging as if Allah (AJ)..
this path is not meant for Allah (AJ) to submit to us, astaghfirullah (seek forgiveness from
Allah (AJ), but for us to submit to Allah (AJ).
And everything is on Divinely time, everything in the way of Allah (AJ) is not known to the
people of dunya and the people of the material world who said, ‘To us belongs the struggle
and to Allah (AJ) is the victory.’
What Allah (AJ) deems ‘Victory’ is not what me and you understand of victory and
‘When are things going to get better and when are things going to..’
That's not victory for Allah (AJ) that your condition become better, that's victory for
you and your nafs (ego) and our nafs, and victory for Allah (AJ) is when the servant
through every form of difficulty struggles and strives.
And that's why we were talking earlier about the seerah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, how
many children passed away from the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ?
“Rahmatal lil'alameen,” the mercy of all creation, the most beloved of Allah (AJ),
as a father how many of his children did he have to wash and put into the ground.
What type of heartbreak and trauma and difficulty.. one child people will collapse and can’t
live any longer in this life, how many Prophet ﷺ went through difficulties?
They are the exemplars of faith exactly that reason, they’re our examples that ‘Every
time you think life is hard remember my life, I’m a favoured one from Allah (AJ).’
This is what Prophet ﷺ is saying to us, is always a reminder ‘Look at my life look
at the life of my family that my family has not a special status where they were sort
of walking on couches and grapes and food were being put into their possession, they
had only suffered and fought and they fought Muslims, they fought their own faith just
to keep going and keep the way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
They weren't ever appreciated by their own community.’
How about the holy companions and Sahabi Ikram (Holy companions of Prophet ﷺ), how much
they fought from amongst themselves not outside forces, those were the fights of the Quraish
but from even within their own forces how much fitnah (confusion), how much difficulty.
And Prophet ﷺ then reminding for us, ‘Why should be anything different for you?’
Take a life in which the victory of Allah (AJ) is a struggle and the one whom is victorious
who struggles through every type of hardship and every type of difficulty Allah (AJ) raises
that servants darajat (spiritual rank) in Divinely Presence, not raising the servant
in the dunya (material world) where you get more money more opportunities more chances
for us to become heedless and forget about Allah (AJ).
But Allah’s (AJ) Grace and Rahmah (mercy) is that ‘I dress you from lights dress you
from blessings dress you from all these realities that you have no understanding about these
realities.’
So when we talk about ‘Raghaib,’ and blessings are coming and immense blessings are coming
and these dresses of light are coming, people are expecting everything to become great and
everything to be sort of opening but these are called openings of malakut (heavenly realm)
and the world of light and those openings actually may manifest in hardships in this
world where you're struggling just to keep and stay afloat.
From every direction there's somebody putting a hardship a difficulty fighting yelling screaming
every type of difficulty keep coming to the servant and Allah (AJ) just wants to test
if you have istiqam and firmness, not you become rude you don't become belligerent,
you don't lose your character you don't become the event and the test and the character of
the test.
We said that when Allah (AJ) sends a dog to bark at you your role is not to become the
dog but your role is to remain the heavenly servant that through every condition remains
a heavenly servant and firm and firm and even they say, ‘Ya Rabbi it’s about time I
give up I can't do it anymore,’ and Allah (AJ) just says “It's not time to give up
you keep going keep going.”
And through every difficulty this is the lives of these great souls, the greatest soul in
Allah’s (AJ) creation the life and the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
How much, how much difficulty did Prophet ﷺ have and see and witness and endured and
with that difficulty the, “khuluqul ‘azheem.”
That Allah (AJ) gives that title, ‘You're of a magnificent character not because everybody
loved you and you have a great character but that I sent everybody to make difficulty around
you.
I put you in every type of test of difficulty as I put other Prophets, and other Prophets
they pray for the destruction of their people and every difficulty I put you in I test you
and I test you and you have off a magnificent character always praying for people always
opening and praying for an opening for somebody, having patience in the greatness and the blessed
khuluq and character.’
And this is the example of these holy nights that when we say lights are opening and blessings
are opening, when Allah (AJ) wants to bestow those realities upon a servant they usually
manifest as a hardship upon their physicality.
When hardships come to the physicality know that your spirituality is being raised.
Every time a sickness comes to you Allah (AJ) raising you and dressing your soul, every
type..
You say even if a mosquito bites you Allah (AJ) took away something.
So many times people say ‘Why I thought we were holy, why these things are happening
to us why difficulties happening to us?’
It's for that exact reason, the holier you are the more things come difficult towards
you, every type of mosquito bite you everyone throwing rocks at you everyone make a bad
back bite and comment against you, then you know alhamdulillah you’re on the right path.
But if everybody praise you, we're doing something wrong.
And that's the reality, is that Allah (AJ) is always going to send people that make hardship
and difficulty for His servants to test them and grant them Allah’s (AJ) Victory, not
the dunya's victory.
Allah’s (AJ) victory is through patience and perseverance, that's why you have to be
listening and I have to be listening and reminding myself of the talks and then we put all these
talks together to understand what is it that Allah (AJ) wants from us.
When we want to have sabr and patience through all these difficulties Allah (AJ) reminds
‘Didn't we talk, that if I want to dress you from sabr and my sifat as-Sabr (attribute
of Patience), don't expect anything in life.
It's your expectation that makes everything to be hard.’
And now unfortunately the children have destroyed themselves with expectations, what they expect
to look like, what they expect to earn, where they expect to live, what they expect to drive,
what they expect to be like, and they're just a micro version of this entire dunya now that
has so many expectations, nothing is an opening nothing is of any good.
When somebody is emailing harshly, ‘When are things going to open?’
Are you thinking things are bad for you?
Because you know in one shot Allah (AJ) gets sick of you He'll stop everything, you won't
have a dollar to come you won't have a bite to eat and you won't have a single set of
piece on your body.
You know if you get sick at night where you can't sleep and you can't function you can't
move there's no, there's no rest there's no relaxation, just the fact that you're not
sick and you can sleep without pain is an immense blessing.
If you can find food to eat is an immense blessing.
How many children don't have food and their parents have to not put anything in their
own mouth just to give something to their children?
It means this world has many many hardships, for someone not to see the Grace and the Rahmah
of Allah (AJ) is a sign of a big sickness, there's a big sickness, that's why said when
you email you reveal more of yourself then probably you understood.
When you email with this type of things ‘When are things going to open for me,’ oh so
you're not happy with what you already have?
Do you know if Allah (AJ) take away the mentality and mentalness of your family what happens
when everyone starts to go mentally insane and shaitan (satan) just touch somebody and
all the mentality will go and become completely psychotic and crazy.
You lose your job and you can't find it and you live in countries where they don't give
monthly welfare checks and you have a place to sleep and you don't have that anymore,
life can be so difficult that for a servant not to be thankful in these days is immensely
sad.
And for people who want to write like that you have to review what you're writing and
think again.
If you're in the western world with whatever Allah (AJ) gave to you however it is difficult
that's Allah (AJ) loving you, that Allah (AJ) want to give these to raise your darajat.
And that we have so much alhamdulillah from the ni’mat (blessing) of Allah (AJ) and
so many blessings.
If you can sleep at night you're 100 percent ahead, if your mentality is working and you're
not under the attack of waswas (whispering) you're 100 percent ahead.
If you have rizq and some sustenance coming alhamdulillah, and Allah (AJ) says ‘Thank
Me and I give you more.’
Don't be nashukr (un-thankful) where you don't have a shukr (gratitude) and you're always
thinking not sufficient from Allah (AJ).
In these holy nights that's a reminder because when we talk about ‘Holy, Holy’ and all
the shaykhs come out and say ‘This is a holy blessed night’ people are thinking
it's like a big cheques are coming in the mail.
That you're going to get all sorts of bonuses and cheques coming.
And then the holiness for Allah (AJ) is, ‘I’m going to give you lights but it's going to
cost you something.’
And then you get sick and then you have difficulties you have all sorts of hardships and these
are upon the physicality and Allah (AJ) raising the darajat of that soul inshaAllah with His
Divinely lights and to be in the presence, making souls to be kings so that they can
sit in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Allah (AJ) wants no one less than a king
to be in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, when He makes this honourable king He
wants only one worthy of going in the presence of that reality to be a king also, it means
Allah (AJ) raise the darajat of creation so that to give more honour and status to the
immense reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us from these realities and on these holy
nights give us sabr, Ya Rabbi just grant us and remind us of sabr and that the struggle
is for us and victory for You Ya Rabbi Allah (AJ).
That the victorious love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to dress us our family our community and
all the ‘ashiqeen (lovers) that are gathering around this fire as the world is entering
into darkness.
InshaAllah.
