Be RABBANI, Race to the state of IHSAN


Madad ul Haqq

Be Rabbani, Race to the state of Ihsan

We are asking support from our masters in every breath that is coming and leaving.  Without their guidance we can not reach any reality.  As the recent events in the past week have unfolded, the messages coming from our masters have been astonishing to the listeners and viewers.  It leaves one in such awe but such is the caliber of such high rank saints.  The importance of following everything they speak becomes clear in these situations.  Not only what they say but whom they have authorized to speak on their behalf.  At our level, we are in need of an explanation to the realities our Masters are conveying to us.

Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, 20 October 2010, “you must be Rabbani, I am trying to be Rabbani (those who establish lordly worship)’.  The message from this talk was clear to cancel anything that divides people and unite them under the flag of ‘Rabbani’.  The following day Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani explained on the meaning of Sultan al Awliya’s talk.

Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, 21 October 2010 Lefke, Cyprus.  “Tell them that the first chapter is finished; now there is a second chapter.” Allahu Akbar. What is that next chapter? And then he said, “There will be a third chapter.”  Mawlana explained the first chapter has been closed.  He also explained the famous hadith of Prophet (saws) when S. Jibreel (a) asked Prophet (saws) the three levels of Islam.  These three levels were explained briefly in the previous article from a talk given by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi in Cyprus on July 08, 2010.  If we meditate a little we can start to correlate between the three chapters and three levels of Islam. 


The first level is Islam that includes the five pillars of Islam: Saying the Shahada, praying, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage.  They are related to the physical state, an action one has to perform or a movement that occurs.  The second level is Iman (faith) that includes belief in God, all prophets, their books, all angels, and the divine decree.  This level is to believe in all the unseen, you cannot physically see but believe in their existence and the truth.  Third level is Ihsan, the level of moral excellence.  Mawlana Shaykh Hisham explained on this in the same talk mentioned earlier.  "To worship Allah as if you are seeing Him.” It means Rabbaaniyoon that is the era of now opening that maqaam on every mureed (student) that was previously closed. You have to achieve it; you have to run for it!”



 
In the first chapter we were listening and watching Sultan al Awliya’s talks everyday.  It was a daily occurrence that we had become accustomed to.  We even became as comfortable as to miss them because we can watch tomorrow or another time.  We learn the value of something when it is taken away.  When the news came last week that talks would be ended, we were worried and begged for more.  Mawlana is teaching us that first level is finished.  I want you to progress so I will close all the faculties of the physicality for hearing and seeing.  He wants us to run to the next level of belief.  You have been given instructions from the first level now applying them to achieve the second.  He indicated the days are so close for the last days.  It is as if they are compressing all the steps of self purification to quickly drop this duniya from our heart and race toward the state of Ihsan. 


The second chapter is to believe everything that Sultan al Awliya has been speaking.  Close your eyes from this duniya and prepare for the difficulties that are coming.  Make your self available to be of service to these masters and ultimately to the seal of messengers (saws).  What you sacrifice now will only benefit you in the future.  Believe they are ever present in our life.  We were accustomed to hearing his message everyday.  Has that message stopped?  It is to say you went to visit the Niagara Falls and you saw the immence beauty and power of the water falls.  You see and hear but you have to leave.  When you are not there did the Water stop flowing?  No, it is flowing by God’s permission.  Mawlana’s knowledge is flowing constantly to reach his followers.  We only have to connect.  In the first level we were in the wire mode.  We connected to internet and we listened.  Now is the time to go wireless, meditate and connect to Mawlana to find the flowing streams again.  Mawlana Shaykh Hisham said, “When a patient is sick, you give him an injection to shake him. So they want to shake us, to wake us up. Not everything depends on the shaykh, and nothing comes from the mureed, no. They want something reciprocal between the shaykh and the mureed; something must come from the mureed, then the shaykh can help more.”  We pray and ask for this help.


The third chapter is to reach the state if Ihsan.  Be Rabbaniyoon.  To be with S. Mehdi (as).  The warnings that Sultan al Awliya has been giving to us for the past year and half are to strengthen our faith.  Nothing will save us but our belief from what lies ahead of us.  Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi has been teaching us it is time to be nothing.  What does that mean?  It means empty our hearts from love of this world and fill our hearts with love of Awliya and Prophet (saws).  Humiliate our ego and take off the dress of selfishness and put on the dress of power of our beloved Master.  Mawlana Shaykh Hisham explained how we can achieve the state of Ihsan.  " That’s why Prophet (s) said:


To think or to meditate for one hour, it will be rewarded as if you worshipped for 70 years.


It means, "O Muslims! O Mureeds, followers of Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q)! We have to think, to audit ourselves daily on what we have done, if not for one hour at least for five minutes. Don’t say, “I did this good and that good," no. Sayyidina Adam (a) said, "What is good is from Allah, what is bad is from us." Check what is bad and say, “Yaa Rabbee! Forgive me for that.” Allah will be happy because you remembered your mistakes."


Allah knows best what those chapters will bring in the coming days.  But if we give a little time to think on what is constantly coming from our Masters.  It will give us an understanding and tools to be in the ship of safety.  Mawlana speaks because of the great love he has for his followers and humanity.  All it requires from us is to increase that fire of love in our heart and burn all the badness in us and all around us.

Toward the Perfection of the Self As-Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi | Thursday, Jul 08, 2010 | Lefke, Cyprus



Toward the Perfection of the Self

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem

We are trying our best to enter the ocean of nothingness.  Do not ask to be anything but asking to be nothing.  We are traveling from far distances to come here and everyone coming to get charged.  While we are here in this ocean of Sultan ul Awliya, maximum amount of benefit is to be nothing.  There can not be two.  ‘Ahad’ (only one) and only one allowed near is the lover ‘Wahid’ (unique one). 

‘Amidoona bi Madad-e-kum’

All the blessings that are coming, if people think it is you.  You will carry the burden.  You have to declare you are nothing.  Concept of being nothing is to believe my Master is here.  We keep an empty chair for them and my place is to be on the floor.  A simple ‘Fatiha’ (first chapter of Quran) is not from me.  But my Master has to step in.  We are but a fishing line for the Shaykh and he is bringing them in.  When you make it complicated then you are sharing yourself in the ‘dua’ (request).  [it is no longer pure but is filled with your ego].  Grand Shaykh Abdallah Daghestani (Q) said All thirty ‘juz’ (parts of Quran) are in Surah Fatiha (opening chapter of Quran).  All of this opening only through sincerity not to show anything but show nothingness.  Through Muraqabah, hearing, seeing, breathing is opening.

Negating is the biggest step to nothingness [La ilaha illallah, negation of the self and realization of the one true lord].  There is no time for Allah (time only existing on earth).  The reality of Sayedina Adam (as) is always there, ascending.  

Description of the upward and downward triangle.

Secret book of Hu wa Hu

Islam is submission to the will of your Lord.  Islam teaches you discipline.  Allah is saying; submit your will back to mine.  What I want from you is your will.  Ya Rabbi (oh our Lord) I am nothing.  Submit but learn how to give your will back.  What God wants is taught by the Prophets (peace be upon them all).  They are the best examples of humanity.  They are the masters of following (‘wajib tahleek’).  Follow them and do as they do.  

At-Tauba [9:119]

‘Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo ittaqoo Allaha wakoonoo maa alssadiqeen
O ye who believe! Fear Allah and be with those who are true (in word and deed).

They start to perfect our character.

Iman is faith.  It is also to increase love in your heart for all creation.  Do not make yourself pious in front of others.  Smash your own Buddah (self statue).  Do all your extreme worship at home and be humble outside so people see you as nothing.  
Ihsan is sincerity.  Worship as if you see Allah.  If you do not see him then Allah is seeing you. [Perfection of the self in character and manners]
Islam came to overcome ignorance.  When you begin to increase your faith, it puts down your anger. [You begin to understand that everything is coming from your lord then why to be angry.  When combining Islam and Iman you begin to climb the pyramid upward toward perfection of the self].  Prophet Muhammad (saws) is the mercy to all creation.  When the light of faith begins to shine inside of you it puts down the fire of anger.  

That leads you to the reality of ‘Najm e Saqib’ the piercing star.  Surah 53: Al Najm (the star).  ‘Shams’ (the sun) is ‘Daiem’ (everlasting).  Prophet Adam (as) walked this earth and it is the same sun.
When Prophet Muhammad (saws) is coming, falsehood is leaving.

We are Ghulams and Sultan ul Awliya is the King, As-Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi | Wednesday, Jul 07, 2010 | Lefke, Cyprus



We are Ghulams and Sultan ul Awliya is the King

A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan ir-rajeem

They are the perfected Guides.  I am not a Shaykh.  Only learning and trying our best to be nothing.  Saints help us to the process of dying.  These great Awliyas of the highest level work closely with ‘Malak-ul-Mawt’ (Angel of Death).  Death is not scary.  But run toward it.  Tariqa exists to assist in the process of waiting so that we can return back.  We come from heavens.  What is so fearful? Death comes all of sudden and you did not prepare.  But Tariqa prepares you.  When you really believe you are going to die, you get your grave.  You have to ask yourself.  If I am going today, what have I prepared and done. 

The biggest problem today is depression and anxiety.  We are only busy with our physicality.  When we believe this life is temporary and nothing.  We are only dust under the feet of our Shaykh.  Then they begin to open for you.  You have to act upon it.  Really believe then your desires go down.  If your desires are down, your soul can move.  Like the bird in a cage ‘Safina tun Nijjat’.  Your satellite begins to pick the signal and bring the energy to you.  This helps to control the bad desires.

Each Prophet (peace be upon them) coming and teaching us how to build ourselves.  Sayedina Adam (as) coming and teaching us you are a noble creation.
Surah Rahman: Has taught (you mankind) the Qur'ân (by His Mercy).  He created man (55:2-3).
Allah (swt) is saying: I taught you the Quran.  Then I created creation.  The soul has been taught everything.  In Tariqa Naqshbandiya, Naqshband is the reality of a CD.  Everything has been taught on to your soul ‘Ulum ul Awaleen wal Akhirin’ (knowledge of the before and after).  How do you read a CD?  It is done with a light.  Who’s more powerful? Mitsubishi or Mawlana (Q).  You believe in only what you can touch.  He holds the secret of light to bring your reality.  He (Sultan ul Awliya) is the guardian and he has that frequency.  Connect with him to be dressed with light so you can begin to read what has already been burned on to you.

Hell is a firewall.  Every false has to be burned before entering.  Muraqabah is to keep vigilant on our Master.  Give your attention because they are watching.  Every clearance they are checking.  Do not put any value on your ‘salah’ (prayer); it does not count for anything.  Every action is based on intention.  Everything in our life there is servant hood.  In the presence of Sultan we are only Ghulams (servants).

Ati` Allah wa ati` ar-rasula wa uli 'l-amri minkum (4:59)
Obey Allah, Obey Prophet (saws) and those in authority.

You can not be ‘AbdAllah’ (servant of Allah).  You are lucky Awliya Allah are accepting you.  We are reaching to be ‘AbdRasul’ (servant of Prophet (saws)).  You have to declare to your Sultan.  I am nothing without your ‘Madad’ (support).  Dress me from your ‘Amana’ (trust).  If he is the king then I am the ghulam.  There are 124,000 Awliyas like dots and he is the Sultan of them all.  Be under his flag, his discipline.  Then be nothing.  Allah’s ‘Qahar’ will begin to dress you.

Time to be Nothing [Muraqabah/Meditation Workshop Lecture Notes] As-Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi | Tuesday, Jul 06, 2010 | Lefke, Cyprus



Time to be Nothing

Muraqabah/Meditation Workshop Lecture Notes

As-Sayed Nurjan Mirahmadi | Tuesday, Jul 06, 2010 | Lefke, Cyprus

‘Amidoona bi Madad-e-kum’

All of teaching for us is how to be a servant in the divine.  How to be nothing? Allah is everything.  All Technology is based on binary code.  Allah is 1 (one) and we are 0 (zero).  Muraqabah/Meditation is the practice of Arifin (knowers).  Asking to be in ocean of light.  Diving into that ocean of light.  Be Nothing.  As long as you are something, that energy cannot enter.

We have to know, Awliya are the dragon killers.  My ego is a dragon.  We are coming here to die.  How to die? If you are not comfortable with death.  You are only running away until they grab you.  All the books of Saints are teaching us.  When coming to your Master.  Come to die.  We are coming with all that personality and ego.  You have to declare, Ya Sayyedi, I want to be ‘halal’ for you.  Difficult days are coming.  Everything standing will be crushed.  When that Kingdom comes, let thy be done. “Thy Kingdom come.  Thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven”.  ‘kun fiya kun’. 

Awliya Allah are asking us to be nothing.  There are 124,000 Awliya and he (Sultan-ul-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q)) is the most humble.  We have to say, Sayyedi I am coming to leave all my desires.  If you don’t recognize then you cannot take their energy.  Ask to be nothing.  Die before you die.  What’s coming now is crushing.  Allah’s ‘Qahar’ is coming.  As heaven is obeying, this earth will obey too.  We are under the feet of Sultan-ul-awliya.

‘Amidoona bi Madad-e-kum’

Declare you have no energy.  The example can be found in the movie Star Wars.  Our force is ‘Allahu Haqq’.  You be nothing.  When I support you, you’ll rise.  As it is mentioned in Surah Mulk; these are the people in whose hand is the kingdom.  In mediation, you cannot become powerful on your own.  If you are dressed with your ego then you become ‘Phiron’ (Pharoah).  You are nothing, dead.  If not the power of your Shaykh.  We are coming with nothing for the support of our Shaykh.  Muraqabah is to keep vigilance.  Declare, I am your ‘Ghulam’.  Try to reach the holy face.  My Wali is my Imam.

  1. Acknowledge that he is always with us.
  2. Ask, Ya Sayedi, Dress me from the light.

From the ocean of oneness  Say, I love you. I have ‘muhabat’ (love).  I am keeping your ‘hadoor’ (presence).  Now Dress me Sayedi.  The master will begin to download into your heart.  Now, not the time to struggle with ego.  But ‘ruhaniyat’ (soulfulness).  Time to be Nothing.
