“Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.”
And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal ‘ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl
and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are still in existence.
Before the talk a reminder for myself that awliyaullah (saints) come into our lives and
teach us the secret of living and our life is to worship Allah (AJ) and the greatest
worshipness is the celebration of Allah (AJ), thankfulness to Allah (AJ).
Zikrullahi akbar (greatest remembrance is the remembrance of Allah (AJ)).
And they come and reveal to us that the greatest zikr (Divine remembrance) of Allah (AJ), the
greatest satisfaction of Allah (AJ) is the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
“Wa rafa’na laka dhikrak.
Wa rafa’na laka dhikrak”.
Surat Al-Inshirah, Allah (AJ) reminding Prophet ﷺ and all of creation that, ‘We have raised
your zikr.
We have raised your zikr.’
Means everything from the tariqah (spiritual path) teachings is the secret of Allah’s
(AJ) satisfaction and that secret is the love and ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, to love
Prophet ﷺ more than we love ourselves and Allah (AJ) grants faith, grants light, grants
every blessing and every difficulty to taken away.
Every wali (saint), Sahabi (Holy Companions of Prophet ﷺ) and Ahlul Bayt (Holy Family
of Prophet ﷺ), all are at their stations for their love and ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ.
And our life is based on that secret and the immensity of its barakah (blessing) can’t
be understood but look at our lives.
That, that secret that they gave to us is based on the immense ishq and love of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.
It is our insurance policy that in a world of difficulty and calamity, put your life
in the way of that ishq (love), in the way of that Mawlud (celebration of the birthday
of Prophet ﷺ), in the way of that celebration and that’s the secret that gives us protection
in the last days.
That’s the key into the heart of the believer that protects them from dajjal (man of deceit),
is the ishq of Prophet ﷺ.
And that’s all that dajjal will try to take from the heart that, ‘You don’t need that.
You go directly to Allah (AJ).’
And awliyaullah (saints) are coming and teaching, fortify the hearts of people, make sure that
their ishq and their love for Prophet ﷺ is immense and all these teachings and all
these months, all its reality opens up on Rabi’ul Awwal.
That which you love, you celebrate its existence.
That which you love of Allah (AJ) and to show the appreciation to Allah (AJ) is to appreciate
the Holy Qur’an, the reality of Islam, and the messenger of Islam.
Means if you want to show your appreciation to Allah (AJ) then you have to love Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ – the vessel and vehicle of bringing all those realities upon this earth.
That light of ishq and love and faith opens on Rabi’ul Awwal.
The 12th of Rabi’ul Awwal – the birth of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is beyond this realm
of dunya (material world).
It’s a reality into the birth of light and Allah (AJ) is not in need of the celebration,
is not in need for you to celebrate but reminding that we are in need of Allah (AJ).
We are in need of that celebration.
We are in need of that light to open it and that love to open within the heart.
Means when we begin from now the celebration, we begin from now the support of Mawlid un
Nabi ﷺ (celebration of the birthday of Prophet ﷺ), it’s not something small.
It’s not something that you put off in your life and say, ‘Okay when we get closer to
the Mawlid then I’ll be involved.
You may be dead by then.
Everything…
“Kullu ‘amalu bin niyaat”
That, ‘Ya Rabbi I’m asking give me a life for Tashrif an Nabi ﷺ – to raise the magnificent
honour.’
Not raise it because it’s so impossible to even approach but my life is to propagate
that message of the greatness of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
So everything that we do is with an intention, Ya Rabbi I don’t know if I’ll be there
but I want to support it and my whole life is to support that and I want to celebrate
it in a grand way.
I want to celebrate it here, there and everywhere.
I want to propagate it amongst all the orphans to be guests for us in thousands.
And this becomes an insurance policy in our lives.
This becomes the secret to the shaykh’s success.
Look to their lives and see how immensely successful they are.
They’re successful in the way of Allah (AJ).
That many came to bring them down but when Allah (AJ) supports, who can come against.
The secret of their support is the immense love and ishq of Prophet ﷺ.
That we’re asking to survive till Hajj (pilgrimage).
We’re asking to get through any type of calamity of Muharram and Shawwal or what is
the…
Safar.
Asking through all this gate of difficulty that facing us Ya Rabbi grant us an insurance,
grant us a way through this ocean of difficulty.
And awliyaullah came into our lives and inspired – celebrate Milad un Nabi ﷺ in a grand
way.
And that you’re asking Allah (AJ), ‘Let me to see that day and safely to arrive with
myself, my family and my community to arrive at that day.
And our whole lives were the support of that reality, the propagation of that reality and
the immensity of the barakah that it open.
These are all the teachings.
They’re in every na’at (prophetic praising) that we recited.
He’s Jaane Rahmah (The Soul of Mercy) ﷺ.
That whatever you’re asking for in life of an opening and take away difficulties or
whatever you have in life, celebrate Jaane Rahmah ﷺ.
Everybody just wants to ask, ‘Give me this, fix me this, fix this, fix this kid, fix that
this.’
Why they fix anything?
First fix yourself.
Fix your love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and put that as your top priority and that your
life is to seek out these ‘ashiqeen (lovers), attend their associations, support their associations,
support the Milads – that is our ticket to satisfaction because you put your money
where your faith is.
You put your effort where your faith is and as a result every difficulty becomes ease.
From every difficulty Allah (AJ) makes an ease.
Why?
Because Jaane Rahmah that Prophet ﷺ, you’re under the nazar (gaze) of Prophet ﷺ.
That Ya Rabbi we’re asking and feeding in that love, we’re asking and doing Mawlid
in that love, we’re asking and trying to do every type of food.
We take food that being rescued in thousands of pounds now.
Why is that opening so fast now in Vancouver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Manchester’s opening
inshaAllah with Haji Amir, Haji Ali now in Sheffield and all over Pakistan.
Why?
It’s our najat (salvation).
Allah (AJ) said, ‘I’m going to make people to do this but I’m granting your people
the honour.
You’re ‘ashiqeen, your love for Prophet ﷺ, I want these ‘ashiqeen to be dressed
with these medallions.’
And we keep making du’a (supplication), ‘Ya Rabbi don’t give to them but give
it to us.
Don’t give to the hizb (party) of people who are following shaitan (satan) and they
come against the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Empty their pockets and send it all to us Ya Rabbi.
Grant that ni’mat (blessing) to us.
Grant those food efforts to us.
Grant that charity work to us and make Your servants to rise and stand up and want to
help.’
A fire, a great fire is coming.
Don’t say that that fire burned you and took everything away and you did nothing to
save yourself and your families.
This is the time in which we rise up.
Get up, go onto the website – Muslimcharity.com, there’s a section on ‘Volunteers’ and
they made it very easy for you.
Click on getting a shirt, buy your shirt, they gave you a letter, take that letter and
go to the Grocery Stores in your area and with your shirt and that letter say, ‘Can
you give me the food, you’re throwing away.
I want to drive right now and give it to homeless people.’
Thousands of pounds of food is being given to people in need.
And this the honour that Allah (AJ) grant to us so that to make us all shining so that
why?
To present us to the presence of Prophet ﷺ.
Allah (AJ) doesn’t want anything dirty in that presence.
It’s a gift from Allah (AJ).
So everything in their lives is that secret.
Say, ‘How are we going to protect ourselves from now until that time?’
Be involved in the Milad an Nabi ﷺ.
To see the links and share it.
Tell people about it.
Reserve your space to come here and celebrate it.
Celebrate it in your area, celebrate it in Pakistan, celebrate it wherever you are.
It’s your ticket to salvation.
It’s not something small.
It’s the greatest gift that Allah (AJ) give to us because that celebration, that event
is the opening of ishq and muhabbat (love) into the heart of the believer.
That, ‘You celebrated the love of whom I love.’
All our teaching, come back to all the teaching.
‘I was a hidden treasure wanting to be known.’
All those whom claim they love Allah (AJ), did you find Him?
Where were you looking for Him?
In the moon?
In the skies?
Inside the Ka’bah?
No, you find Him in the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
He’s in the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
That same Divinely heart that is propagating the light of Qur’an, Manzil ul Qur’an
(where the Holy Qur’an emanates).
And as soon as we come to celebrate that love, do you see the love relationship, ‘You found
Me.
You found Me.
You came to this love, you understood the reality of My Qur’an is emanating from this
beloved heart.
You found Me.’
What would you do for that love?
What would you give for that love?
What did the companions give for that love?
They gave their life.
They gave their entire existence.
The imam (religious leader) of our way – Imam Ali (as), we described before is what?
‘I gave my life at ten, twelve years old, thirteen years old.
I will lie in the bed.
You sacrifice me, let them kill me and you go with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as)
and establish the deen (religion) of Islam.’
And the way of Ahlul Bayt then was established and his beloved son took his entire family
into the deserts of Karbala and for that same love, the same upholding of the sunnah (traditions
of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), they sacrificed themselves, their flesh and their entire being.
So means this love is our way.
This ishq is our way.
This is our ticket in Divinely Presence.
This ishq and love is our protection from every difficulty that faces us.
We pray that Allah (AJ) grant us that light and that blessing and that to see that holy
event, to love it, to celebrate it and to see the celebration all the areas that we
touch in a grand way, beatific way.
And that other people to see it.
The nation that has not yet accepted Islam because all this creation is under Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.
Those whom accepted the da’wah (religious propagation) and those whom yet we have not
reached.
May Allah (AJ) open their hearts towards that light of Milad an Nabi ﷺ.
Subhana rabbika rabbal ‘izzati ‘amma yasifoon, wa salaamun ‘alal mursaleen, walhamdulillahi
