Why would Prophet ﷺ make reference that, ‘My companions are like stars?’
And that why Allah (AJ) has so many surahs (chapters) in reference to “Najmu ath thaqib”
(Pistol star) and the stars and the other surahs that are related to stars?
Because it's the evolution and the evolvement of what we should be.
We're not to be a physical mass.
It's not about your physical life.
You were supposed to have surrendered that and reached towards our spiritual reality
on this earth.
To achieve our spiritual reality and the purpose of why we were sent here for the testing - so
that our change and our evolution would change of who we're supposed to be and what realities
we were supposed to have achieved.
And the greatest one whom brings that is the star maker – Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ describing,
‘I have completed what God has sent me for.
That my companions they are all stars on this black night.’
So mean gives to us that isharat (sign) that, ‘I am that one to bring about that change
and that reality.’
And there are people also asking about the enneagram.
And they post sort of all these self-help and self-understandings and on how to get
about this reality of the enneagram.
And we said that – the reality of the enneagram is in Naqshbandiya – Naqshbandiya tul ‘Aliya
(The Most Distinguished Naqshbandi Order).
And this has to do with the power of these 9 ancient shaykhs and the zikr (Divine remembrance)
in which Allah (AJ) has powered their reality with Sultan az-Zikr in which their breath
is the Holy Qur’an.
The breath in and out is in Holy Qur’an.
Means every breath they breathe all the secrets and the lights of Holy Qur’an dressing their
soul.
Every breath out is all the realities of Holy Qur’an.
These 9 that hold that key out of this eternal golden chain, those 9 shaykhs they are around
a circle and that circle its head and its opening is Sultanul Awliya (king of saints)
Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim Adil al-Haqqani (Q).
To make a connection with Mawlana Shaykh's (Q) heart and that the spiritual practices
that they do, that if Mawlana Shaykh (Q) sees that their spiritual practices are of a sufficient
nature and their practices of sincerity are granted to them, their soul will be invited
into that association in which these 9 shaykhs are continuously under the nazar (gaze) of
that servant of Allah (AJ).
And that they are perfecting all the realities upon the soul of that servant and that goes
hand in hand with the star.
That cannot happen if you're not taking tafakkur (contemplation).
That cannot happen if you have bad character.
So you'll be qamari – you have to be a student of the way to be a moon.
And as a result if they find the acceptance in the practices of that student then the
nazar of Sultanul Awliya becomes stronger and stronger onto the servant and they inspire
them into the understanding of these 9 points and these 9 shaykhs and the 9 realities.
And we described before – the shaykh at position 1 he describes the oceans and the
realities and the secrets of tawheed (Oneness).
So when we say ‘Oneness’ they'll describe in your soul and keep dressing your soul with
the reality of oneness and that's through all of these teachings that you're hearing
here.
Somebody says, ‘Oneness of God’ then awliya (saints) come and explain what really Oneness
its vastness of understanding is immense.
The shaykh at position 2 begins to describe that the 2 is actually a reflection of 1,
which begins to open the Muhammadan reality.
That the 2 is Allah (AJ) creating a creation to reflect His reality.
So “La ilaha illallah” brings into existence “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ” to be known.
So position 2 begins to describe that reality of Bahrul Qudra (Ocean of Power), the oceans
of that Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ and all its infinite realities and powers and blessings.
And these 9 are continuously dressing that servant so that these ‘uloom and these knowledges
are dressing their soul and their lights.
Shaykh at position 3 begins to imply or begin to convey the importance of the Adamic creation.
That our souls are from the ocean of “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.”
That's why we recite everything in 3, 1 – for the reality that was given from La ilaha illallah,
2 – the second time you recite something is for the perfection that given to Muhammadun
Rasulallah ﷺ, and the 3rd is that I'm reciting.
So everything that we recite, everything that we do in 3 is to receive from those oceans
and the realities and begin to open the reality of the souls.
And why the 3 and is important and the ocean of souls are important and that the souls
come from Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, inshaAllah.
