The one year, and asking that Allah (AJ) forgive us our shortcomings where we came wrong, where
we didn't accomplish what Allah (AJ) wanted for us to accomplish, and forgive us.
And make an angel for us that completes our ‘ibadah (worship) in perfection, and that
that ‘ibadah be something pleasing to Allah’s (AJ) rida and satisfaction, and to dress our
souls from its lights and its blessings.
That alhamdulillah the holy month of Muharram inshaAllah opening and we're asking for no
haram (forbidden) and that we take a path leaving from badness going to higher levels
of goodness.
And stepping with our right foot into that reality and asking that as Allah (AJ) in these
ten days - most blessed ten days.
Every, every blessing inshaAllah to come.
The first month is the secret of Surat al-Tawba, the first month is under the guidance of the
first khalifa (representative) - Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) as-Siddiq al-Mutlaq
(the absolute Truthful).
And alhamdulillah that we’re under his holy family by the Naqshbandiya tariqah (spiritual
path).
The one tariqah that is under that heart and under that Divinely guidance of Sayyidina
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (as) – Naqshbandiya tul 'Aliya (The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi
Order).
And then Allah (AJ) made the month even more beatific and put it under the first of the
twelve Imams (religious leaders) of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ - under the nazar
(gaze) of Imam Ali (as).
So with all of these blessings we understand how much Allah (AJ) sends a blessing upon
the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
At every moment Allah (AJ) looking to bless the nation for the love that He has, and this
eternal love that He has for the reality of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.
And that, that nation to be a most victorious nation.
That Allah’s (AJ) hidden truth and hidden reality within that light and Allah’s (AJ)
sign of sincerity for those whom are seeking that, ‘Do you see My light on that path?’
From whatever background you come when you're sincere and Allah (AJ) put into your heart,
‘Do you hear the recitations of the Qur’an?
Do you see the example through the people of Islam?
Their fasting, their ‘ibadah - their worshipness, their clothing, their ways of the heavens.
And do you see that?’
And Allah (AJ) is a hidden treasure and hidden secret wanting to be known.
And when the servant has that love and that sincerity, Allah (AJ) grant them to be ‘Known’
and they come towards Islam, they come towards the calling of Islam, they come towards the
calling of the realities of the heaven.
And alhamdulillah that the Muharram is the month in which we are moving towards that
pilgrimage, moving towards that reality, asking to be dressed by it, blessed by it.
As every nation was saved and granted their Ashura, granted the openings of the world
of light.
That for every struggle, every nation and every Prophet in every struggle that they
had Allah (AJ) opened in the holy month of Muharram, on the holy days of the 10 days.
And the 10th day being the Ashura, Asha Nura is the immense opening of lights.
That the najat and salvation for Sayyidina Adam (as)…
Because for us the levels of the heart are the houses of the Prophets, they are all under
the house of Allah (AJ).
That Sayyidina Adam (as) comes to us that, ‘This Muharram ask that Allah (AJ) grant
you a najat - grant you a salvation.’
‘Ya Rabbi that I came unto this earth but I was of a paradise reality.’
Many have lost their way - become distracted from dunya (material world).
Sayyidina Adam (as) inspires that, ‘Ask Allah (AJ) for a najat (salvation).
Ask Allah (AJ) for a relief through difficulties,’ and then teaches the secret of his du’a
(supplication).
That he made many du’as for 40 years until he remembered what Allah (AJ) sent and Sayyidina
Jibreel (as) sent him to go… to visualize what he saw of the paradise realities and
he remembered, “Ya hamid bi Haqqi Muhammad ﷺ.
Ya Ali bi Haqqi Ali (as).
Ya Allahu Khaliq bi Haqqi Fatimatuz Zahra (as).
Ya Rahman bi haqqil Imam al-Hassan (as).
Ya Raheem bi Haqqil Imam al-Hussain (as).
And immediately when he asked in those names Allah (AJ) was so happy by these names that
He said that, ‘Had you asked anything by the sanctity of these names I would have granted
to you.’
And awliyaullah (saints) come into our life and teach that, that du’a and asking in
those names and in these holy names - that Allah (AJ) grant us our safety.
Ya Rabbi that we came unto this earth and we're coming short, we came onto this earth
and we've been distracted by shaitan (satan).
Grant us our najat - grant us a salvation, grant us Your forgiveness so that the stations
of raising can begin and raise us back to our heavenly nature, into our spiritual reality.
That we came from paradise and we came for just a physical experience and to paradise
we belong and to paradise inshaAllah we return.
That inshaAllah Allah (AJ) accept these du’as.
And Sayyidina Nuh (as) comes into our life and teaches that, ‘I built the ship for
40 years and on Ashura these rains began.
Muharram - the rains began.
And when my ship finally set a sail,’ that how Allah (AJ) granted a najat to the nation
of Sayyidina Nuh (as) and Sayyidina Nuh’s (as) nation was saved on Ashura.
That the sailing, the rain began before that but the Ashura was granted the salvation and
the safety of the ship to land on a dry land.
And we ask that Allah (AJ) grant us from the reality of that ship which is our faith.
Our life is a continuous - building things that nobody can see, practicing things that
nobody understands.
And everybody has a ship and their ship is their soul, and only they know what Allah
(AJ) has commanded to them, what Allah (AJ) has inspired to them.
And everybody look like ajeeb (strange) to other people that, ‘Why you have to do that,
why you have to do these practices, why you have to mention your Lord like this, why you
have to do all of these things?’
And Allah (AJ) granted a najat through the oceans of evilness and tribulations and trials.
We pray that Allah (AJ) grant our soul to arrive on blessed soil.
That leaving the soil of dunya and entering into the soils of paradise and paradise heavens.
That Allah (AJ) grant our soul a salvation through these oceans and tribulations of difficulty
and that we be granted a station in which to land, and the lights of our soul and lights
of our faith to shine and to come out of its darkness and into the lights of reality.
Means for every nation Allah (AJ) granted immense salvation.
We pray that in this blessed month of Muharram Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us with its
immense reality.
It’s an immense salvation, immense maghfirah and forgiveness.
