The Power of Surah Al- Kahf-18.
Secrets of the Month of Safar and to Enter into The Cave (Opening of #18)
Aoodhu billahi min ash Shaytani 'r-rajeem, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.
From The Teaching of Madad al-Haqq Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani (q).
9
First Gate of 9 The first month of Muharram, where the gate of tawba where they are teaching the secret of aoodhu billahi min ash-Shaytani 'r-rajeem; seek refuge, and open the reality of Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem; seek refuge in the cave and be from the Ashaab al-Kahf.
But we have to enter through nine, so Surah Tawba (Chapter 9 of Holy Qu'ran), is teaching us that you have to make a repentance, you have to sacrifice yourself, repent and that at every moment our life is a repentance, that, "I am falling short, I am falling short, I am falling short. Forgive me, my Lord." That, we are not claiming to be perfect, we are asking to recognize our faults and move into that reality.
Surah 18:1 Praise be to Allah Who hath revealed the Scripture unto His slave, and hath not placed therein any crookedness,
18
Then, the second month, Safar, opens. And they say Safar is a heavy month. It is the heaviest of the twelve months because it has the majestic dress of Hayba (emanations). They are taking these realities, and teaching these realities to us that in the timelessness of Prophet (s), he was dressed by twelve veils in the Divine Presence. And these emanations continually dress the light of Prophet (s) from the Divine Presence directly.
These are twelve veils, when you take a reality, from timeless and bring it into time, so then they are teaching us that if you relate those two, those twelve veils (relate) to the twelve months in dunya, because Allah Azzah wa jal has no time. When He is dressing Prophet (s), that is an eternal dress that is eternally dressing Prophet (s) with these twelve hijabs, these twleve realities.
So then they begin to teach us that in the second month, the second lunar month is the reality of nine plus nine equals eighteen. The secret of al-Hayaat (life on Earth), and Hayba and all these oceans of eighteen that are opening.
So you look at the eighteenth surah of the Holy Qu'ran which is Surat al-Kahf. So then they are teaching us that we entered from the Tawba moving to ashaab al-Kahf (people of the Cave). We are asking to enter into that Cave, to be dressed from the reality of that Cave.
Surah 18:9 Or deemest thou that the People of the Cave and the Inscription are a wonder among Our portents?
The Ashaab al-Kaaf are these big AwliyaaAllah { The Men of God/ Allah who ran away from the tricks and snares of Shaytan and are Men in the Eyes of God/ Allah}.
There are seven in the presence of the one, and that one is Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as); the seven eternal realities that are being dressed by that reality and we are asking, "Yaa Rabbee, we are not going to be from those seven, but we are asking to accompany those seven," to accompany the Ashaab al-Kaaf, and that is the Cave that we are asking to enter into. We are asking to enter into that reality and that is why the dress of Hayba begins to shake us and perfect us.
Surah 18: 10 Ith awa alfityatu ilaalkahfi faqaloo rabbana atina minladunka rahmatan *wahayyi*/ lana min amrinarashada When the young men fled for refuge to the Cave and said: Our Lord! Give us mercy from Thy presence, and shape for us right conduct in our plight.
With Allah's Might and Majesty, how can we enter into that Cave with bad characteristics? So then, this month (Safar) comes and begins to cleanse and perfect us.
And we look to the right hand and our right hand is stamped with a "one" and an upside-down "V" which in Arabic (numerals) is eighteen 1/\ . So then our right hand is stamped with that eighteen. Allah Azzah wa jal is teaching us that you have been created for that reality. You have been created to serve that reality; eighteenth
The eighteenth name of *IsmAllah (Names of Allah) is Al-Fattah (The Opener).
*Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is ar-Rahmah (The Compassionate), Nabi ar-Rahmah. *
And Mawlana Shaykh's teaching is that everything from the Divine Presence opens in a direction. And for us that opening has to dress Prophet (s), from Prophet (s) it dresses the other prophets, dresses the holy Companions, dresses awliyaaAllah and then dresses all of Creation. There has to be a direction through which emanations are flowing. So if we want al-Fattah, and we want the Attribute of the Opening, then Allah Azzah wa jal is directing us to be with Nabi ar-Rahmah. "Be with the one incharge of that Rahmah, who is the manifestation of that Rahmah, and he is Rahma tun 'lil `alameen (Mercy for all Creations), Sayyidina Muhammad (s)."
Surah 18:13 We narrate unto thee their story with truth. Lo! they were young men who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
So then they begin to describe that characteristic of Rahmah from the Cave and to be with Ashaab al-Kaaf, and to open that reality of eighteen, and to open that reality of good characteristics.
The Cave of Mercy Surah 18:16 Wa-ithi Atazaltumoohum wamaya budoona illa Allaha fa/woo ila alkahfi yanshur lakum rabbukum min rahmatihi wayuhayyi/lakum minamrikum mirfaqa And when ye withdraw from them and that which *they worship except Allah*, then *seek refuge in the Cave;* your Lord will spread for you of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight.
Mawlana Shaykh is teaching that everything about that Cave is different than our dunya material life. Everything from the reality of Ashaab al-Kahf is different than what we understand in the material world. And all they are preparing for us, is to have patience; have patience with good characteristics, this life will throw many tests at us and all that we are being asked is to have good character during the testing.
If we can have good character during the testing, then inshaAllah Allah Azzah wa jal will save us and make us to be with Ashaab al-Kaaf and to move into the reality of the Cave and begin to open up the reality of the third month. And the third month of Mawlid un-Nabi is to be in the presence of Rahmah tun 'lil `alaameen, celebrating that light and that reality.
We pray that in this month we be protected through difficulties and calamaties and that Allah Azzah wa jal will be happy with us, Prophet (s) be happy with us, awliyaaAllah be happy with us and guide us, and dress us from their lights and dress us from their blessings and that they take away our bad characteristics and dress us from characteristics that Allah Azzah wa jal is pleased with. So we pray we can move into the reality of that Cave inshaAllah.
Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil izzatim amaa yasifoon wa salaamun `alal mursaleen wa

What do we really Worship, Money, Golden Calf, Health
Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
January, 2011
Assalamu `alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
What Do We Worship?
Is it gold the Golden Calf , Health , Fame
Hasbun-Allah, Rabbun-Allah and The Level of Faith in Coming Days..
9:40 Holy Quran for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, "Have no fear, for Allah is with us": then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, [ Secrets of the Cave ]
Aoodhu billahi min ashaytaani 'r-rajeem Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaahi 'r-Raheem
From the teachings of Madad al Haqq Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani.
They are the shaykhs, they are the guide. They are the perfected ones, and we are not a shaykh, not a guide, not a perfected one. And we always ask for their madad, abidoona bi maddadi-kum, that they gaze upon us and they pray upon us, and they send their madad and support. And without their madad and support we cease to exist.
We try our best to enter this ocean of nothingness and move towards our Lords satisfaction and our Lords pleasure. Alhamdulillah a new year is opening and a new journey is beginning. Every journey that ends has a new beginning. And by the grace of Allah Azzaz wa jal and through Mawlana Shaykh, in each journey they wish only the best for us. They wish for us to push a little harder and move a little deeper into those realities of our Lords pleasure, so that the life we live if it does not grow, it has no benefit.
They say it’s better to be in the dirt if you do not grow spiritually. If our life is only to eat and drink and go to the bathroom, than we are no different to animals, which are in abundance. It means that Mawlana Shaykh
only wishes the best for us, to excel and to push ourselves harder to move into that reality. And as that push begins, it becomes more and more difficult, it begins to push against everything that dunya is about and dunya understands. Wa jaa al Haqq wa zahaakal batil, that noorul Haqq, its not so abundant. Its very Rare light, the light of Truth.
Many of us believe that we live in that Truth, that we have been raised within that Truth and still yet Mawlana Shaykh's teaching is that you have no understanding about that Truth. So we come across many people who say, "O Shaykh my whole family have been Naqshbandi and all my relatives were mu'minand believers."
O you who believe, believe, yaa ayyuhaladeena aamaanoo, aamaanoo. It means that a day is coming now, where the level of belief is such that even the belief of our relatives is not going to be sufficient for the belief that we have to have for what is coming of difficulties. So then immediately the people of negation, negate all of that. "O my mother and my father and my relatives knew nothing." That counts for nothing. What my Lord
wants from me now, is very specific to these times. So that we take a path of negation . Because many people are going to use a little bit of knowledge, and have a tremendous amount of difficulty.
I think there is an expression, "God bless the meek." It means the concept of admitting that I know nothing and just to be empty, "Fill me my Lord with Your realities." And that reality can begin to dress us and that what ever they are teaching, we are running towards that. A little bit of understanding can taint that whole co-ordinance. And then they bring that information in, they bounce it around with what little they know, what
little experience they have had and say, " we know that is not right. It’s incorrect. This is not what is supposed to be happening." And that door of faith that we have to move towards is very difficult.
And everything about Mawlana Shaykh’s (teachings) is trying to dress us with that Reality. Most of what people worship today - we are not comfortable on this subject, because nobody likes it (smiling), is money, and they don't admit it. And they have been worshipping a false god from the time of Nabi Musa (as). And as we said before from Mawlana Shaykh's teaching, Nabi Musa (as) was taking his people to the Promised Land, but people were concerned about: “How are we going to transport our gold, their wealth? You are
telling us to leave all of that, where is the Promised Land? How are we going to take all of this." And many times Mawlana Shaykh's teaching for us is that it is very difficult. And Nabi Musa is teaching us that these
awliyaaAllah are coming into our lives to perfect our faith, to take away all the false gods, all the false desires that we may know or not know of that exist.
And they begin to tug, and they pull on different things in a different direction and see what happens with us. It means that a true believer, and our example goes to Mawlana Shaykh, what ever comes to them and flows from them, they don't blink. That is our goal to reach, not that we are like that. That is why there is always a disclaimer that we are nothing compared to that. But you have to have an understanding of faith, that, what comes to them and flows from them, nothing disturbs them. Their heart is in submission; their love is for Allah Azzah wa jal. So when they pray, their prayer is purely out of love of Divine Presence, love for Sayyidina Muhammad and all those that are holy.
They come into our lives and they begin to point out that they can see what we can't see, they sense what we can't sense, because Allah is sending to them; that perfect that faith, perfect the faith of these people; that which they are bowing down to, is their possessions. They have these possessions, and you find them to be praying but they are actually praying to get more of those possessions. We think we are praying like this, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah (All thanks to Allah) because there was a raise and money came in, products came in and life is good. And then the example that the Divine gives is that, "look towards the prophets and saints and pious people, you will be tried as they were tried." "And you will be tested with your life and your money and your family and with everything to see what your faith is really made from. So if they pull something from our life, do you find yourself praying as easy as you were doing before that? Or does it become more difficult at that time?
And they teach us that you hold dunya like this (holding prayer beads up), I guess their teaching is that: "We are people of contemplation," so we go back and begin to contemplate what they are talking about. So, you hold your dunya like this (beads up), if today he (someone sitting beside) comes and pulls it (drops from hand), it falls. That means the heart is not attached to anything, it came, alhamdulillah, and if it went, alhamdulillah and still my connection, my focus is with my Lord. If sickness comes, I pray, if death and difficulty comes, I am praying, if wealth and poverty comes, I am praying and they take us to that level of perfection. And they want to point out to us, "That which you worship is not really Allah yet, so we are coming into your lives to bring that reality," and that is what people don't understand. So people go away saying, "Why are these people like this, why do they always ask for money, why are they always tearing down our goods and possessions, they make us feel uncomfortable for owning anything, for having anything." And they say; "No you are more than welcome to have whatever you like, you can enjoy whatever Allah Azzah wa jal is giving from the bounty." But their duty is to come into our lives and balance what is in the heart and what is in your being. You can have many things, but they shouldn't be entering into your heart; they should not be making you and breaking you. The only thing that should make you and break you is the Divine. If He is happy, we are happy, if He is sad, you can't even breathe on your carpet. You don't know how to repent and to seek His forgiveness.
So then they come into our lives and many of us have the same and many have slightly different (concerns). So they come into our lives and they begin to tug, to test you, "Do like this, do like that, give like this, give like
that," and then you find your dunya is not like this (holds beads up) but our dunya is like this (tight grasp on beads), and there is such a tug and pull to give from it, to walk away from it, to release ourselves from it, that, there is a burn mark on our hands (from keeping a tight grasp).
And this is the same in every aspect of life. We are not always talking about money, we are talking about everything. There are people who come and ask questions about difficulties in court, or difficulties in divorce,
difficulty in relationship, difficulties in health, all of that when we are holding, and the shaykhs come and give us guidance that, "Submit, release it, don't worry about it," you take the medicine you have, if you have it, you don't have to fret over it. Then you can't even pray, you are stressed out about what you have to do, go to twenty different doctors to resolve it. What you have is what you have, sit down on your carpet and pray.
9:51 Holy Quran Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.
Then they begin to show us, *" Eh, you have a difficult time now," so if they pull your money, you don't feel like praying. "O I am very depressed, I can't pray right now."* A death or calamity comes, "I can't pray." So then it wasn't Allah that you were worshipping; it was these things. As long as the things are there, you say "I am good with you yaa Rabbee." And then you keep praying to improve those things.
Then they come into our lives and take our health away. These are all just examples, because people may think: "O he just wants to talk about money," Mawlana Shaykh says, "It is everything that we are attached to." They take your health away and you become so depressed, you can't pray. "Yaa Rabbee, I thought you promised me good health." He says: “Who promised you good health? Look at all the prophets, they went through tremendous difficulties. Many saints were under unbelievable difficulties.
9:123 Holy Quran Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.
We were watching a very sad movie of a German nun, and they were in the habit of wrapping things around themselves with spikes and they don't even show it. And when you look at them they looked normal and were always fasting, inflicting on themselves tremendous difficulty. They take a path of hardship, coming against their ego to make sure their worshiping is solely for the Divine and not for the pleasures of the flesh and body. And awliyaaAllah come and say, "Not even the pleasure of the soul." Don't worship Allah asking for Paradise. Say "Yaa Rabbee, if You throw me in hell, I will be happy, if You throw me in Paradise, I will be happy, whatever Your will for me, I am trying to be happy. Just grant me Your Holy Face.”
So they come into our lives and begin to pull all these things from us. *Some people, when you pull from their money, they start to go crazy and they become extremely angry*, unbelievable characteristics come out. A test of health, and they lose themselves, running around looking for a solution. How may people we know off that have been given the understanding that death is coming and they spend their last time searching for ten more days or sixty more days, instead of enjoying the sixty days that they have been told?
So then they come into our lives to bring these realities out to perfect our reality. So then they pull something from us and we have been through many tests with Mawlana Shaykh, that they pull all that and you find yourself saying, “I can't pray.” And then you sit on your carpet and you start to realize that. "Why did that affect me?" Why the thought of losing that or all my tests that come, "Why is it affecting me?" And then in our
consciousness we begin to realize that Allah Azzah wa jal is saying that, "That, was in your heart and that is why you were worshipping Me." It’s like having a beautiful wife and you don't know if she is with you for you or is she with you for the money? Or, having a husband and that is the same (question). To Allah Azzah wa jal, Mawlana Shaykh is saying, “Its like ghairat “ in English it is "jealous." At some point you are approaching very close, let’s see what really this love is?
So then they start to pull these different issues in our life. And lets see the level of submission, (if you say) “O I want to walk away from that contract.” If you can still pray and meditate then it did not affect your heart. And your Lord is pleased with you. "Don't worry about this sickness and this difficulty, instead of running around like crazy trying to find a solution, just submit and see if you can still pray, then your Lord will be happy. And so then even your health is not in your heart, even your wealth is not in your heart, none of these things are in your heart, and really all that is left in your heart is My love.” And they begin to take us towards
the perfection of our faith.
9:111 Holy Quran Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): ...
And that is why then, when people come to tariqa, they don't understand. They say, *"O when I joined these guys, I lost my job, I lost my wife and my car."* I got a guy like that in Michigan, he said, "I lost my job and my car got re-possessed. I don't know what kind of path this is, I am completely leaving it and I don't ever want to see it again." And Mawlana Shaykh was saying that its not in tariqa, *we are not a re-possession company*, that as soon as you join in that we re-possess, but you are stepping on a path of reality and asking your Lord to perfect your faith. And your Lord is saying just like Sayyidina Ayub/Job (as), who had everything, “I will test him and I can always restore it, and give it all back at a later date, but as I pull it, I want to see the calibre and the quality of being that you are. If I pull something out of your life, you become completely crazy, lose your mind, become belligerent and an unbelievable characteristic? What happened to the softness, the love and the sincerity?” So without that testing we don't know what we are made of.
And Allah Azzah wa jal knows what we are made off. But He wants to show us what we are made off. He says, "You keep thinking you are like this, lets open and take an inventory." And then as soon as you open the self, what do we find? *There is all shattered glass; that is this the stuff I was made off?* “You tested me with this and I became angry. And as soon as you tested me with that” and I became sad. As soon as you tested me with this, I can't even move towards my carpet to meditate, to contemplate and to pray.”
And then Mawlana Shaykh is teaching us, this is not tariqa. Tariqa is going to come and not because it is tariqa and to do it, but we are moving towards a perfection that the Divine is going to begin to pull these things from our life and see what you are made off and what you believe in. And as soon as that faith begins to perfect itself, it is the only thing that will save us.
So we were talking the other day after Jumu'ah, about the concept of fearing Allah. If we don't pass this level, where Hasbun-Allah, Rabbun-Allah: that my faith and trust is in Allah, your Lord is Allah. It means He is in
complete control of my life. If He puts it back in, I am trying not to be as excited as possible, but I am trying to be consistent. Without that perfection in life, then imagine a scenario that tomorrow on television they put out on the news that everybody is going to die unless they take this shot. They are debating what is fear of Allah? You say, "I don't have fear of Allah, Allah is very loving."
So consciousness of Allah is not necessarily fear, or to be punished, but to trust only in Allah Azzah wa jal, which is very difficult. It means in times of difficulty and severe levels of testing, when somebody comes and says: "O everybody is going to get sick. Everybody will have dog flu now, unless you come and take this shot, you are going to die in sixty days." What happens at that time if the faith is not perfected?
They come back into our lives and teach us, "Did you think that that TV determines your life and your death?" Because it wants to, that one-eyed TV wants to control what you think and what you believe and then Allah answers back, "Is that the one that gives you life and death, or do I give you life and death?" But that is a faith that somebody has to have. We have to be tested through that to reach towards that. And, "Did you think that you have that sickness and they inject you with the dog's shot, that you did not have to begin with, and they inject you with that, you are going to live? Or do I determine your life and your death?"
It means that these are what we are mentioning in the last days, difficulties are coming that need an unbelievable level of faith; where your faith and your trust is in Allah Azzah wa jal. Allah Azzah wa jal says, "You are not doing anything wrong, you don't need to worry about it, recite on your water, that is enough for you. Don't worry if you are to be alive, you are going to be alive. If you are to be dead, all the shots in the world won't give you another day.” Because there are days of difficulties coming that people can't imagine. The television and media is going to determine who is going to be living and who is going to be dying and who is going to be sick, because they operate, Shaytan operates through fear. Shaytan puts a fear and then grants you a solution. For people of Imaan, their solution is only Allah Azzah wa jal.
And that is why Allah Azzah wa jal says, "Fear no one but Me." Not like in poetry or philosophy that I do not fear anyone, but the threat is real, the danger is real. "Yaa Rabbee, how am I going to reach to a level where I
completely put my trust in You, when all sorts of craziness is around me? And how do I really know that You are the one who is going to heal me? All of this is really nice but do I really know you are there?" Then they begin to come into our lives and perfect that faith. They begin to pull all of these things that are in our heart, bring us down, collapse us, crush us, until that perfection of light begins to grow when we know we taste it, we feel it, we sense it and we smell it, and with a certainty you know it. At that level of yaqeen and certainty, is the only level of safety to reach towards that reality.
9:119 Holy Quran: O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.
We pray that that reality opens for us, that Prophet (s) opens for us and the awliyaaAllah open for us, and the reason we repeat it, is so that we can repeat it to other people, because other people have a very superficial
understanding of tariqa. And they say, "Why are they like this, why do they do like that, why is it that as soon as you join them everything collapses like this?" And you say: "Hey man, this way is very real. That is the exact proof its reality." That as soon as you join them, the testing begins, it is not a poetry class and not a philosophy class from a professor at school. It is very real, the minute you step in saying I am moving towards that reality, Allah Azzah wa jal says, "It is accepted." Now the testing begins, lets pull, what is that game that the kids have, where everything is built on these straws, Jenga. We have many games with the same name, where all this garbage is built on these sticks and they are there pulling these sticks from under us, pulling them out, pulling them out, pulling them out! Don’t worry if you loose too many sticks, Allah can add them back at a later time, it's not difficult. But let us pull them out and see what this guy is made off? Is he sweet or he becomes sour and difficult?
So we pray that we remain sweet through our testing. And that Allah does not test us beyond our ability, and their madad and support always dresses us and that we are under their support and they bless us. And Sultan

telling us to leave all of that, where is the Promised Land? How are we going to take all of this." And many times Mawlana Shaykh's teaching for us is that it is very difficult. And Nabi Musa is teaching us that these
awliyaaAllah are coming into our lives to perfect our faith, to take away all the false gods, all the false desires that we may know or not know of that exist.
And they begin to tug, and they pull on different things in a different direction and see what happens with us. It means that a true believer, and our example goes to Mawlana Shaykh, what ever comes to them and flows from them, they don't blink. That is our goal to reach, not that we are like that. That is why there is always a disclaimer that we are nothing compared to that. But you have to have an understanding of faith, that, what comes to them and flows from them, nothing disturbs them. Their heart is in submission; their love is for Allah Azzah wa jal. So when they pray, their prayer is purely out of love of Divine Presence, love for Sayyidina Muhammad and all those that are holy.
They come into our lives and they begin to point out that they can see what we can't see, they sense what we can't sense, because Allah is sending to them; that perfect that faith, perfect the faith of these people; that which they are bowing down to, is their possessions. They have these possessions, and you find them to be praying but they are actually praying to get more of those possessions. We think we are praying like this, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah (All thanks to Allah) because there was a raise and money came in, products came in and life is good. And then the example that the Divine gives is that, "look towards the prophets and saints and pious people, you will be tried as they were tried." "And you will be tested with your life and your money and your family and with everything to see what your faith is really made from. So if they pull something from our life, do you find yourself praying as easy as you were doing before that? Or does it become more difficult at that time?
And they teach us that you hold dunya like this (holding prayer beads up), I guess their teaching is that: "We are people of contemplation," so we go back and begin to contemplate what they are talking about. So, you hold your dunya like this (beads up), if today he (someone sitting beside) comes and pulls it (drops from hand), it falls. That means the heart is not attached to anything, it came, alhamdulillah, and if it went, alhamdulillah and still my connection, my focus is with my Lord. If sickness comes, I pray, if death and difficulty comes, I am praying, if wealth and poverty comes, I am praying and they take us to that level of perfection. And they want to point out to us, "That which you worship is not really Allah yet, so we are coming into your lives to bring that reality," and that is what people don't understand. So people go away saying, "Why are these people like this, why do they always ask for money, why are they always tearing down our goods and possessions, they make us feel uncomfortable for owning anything, for having anything." And they say; "No you are more than welcome to have whatever you like, you can enjoy whatever Allah Azzah wa jal is giving from the bounty." But their duty is to come into our lives and balance what is in the heart and what is in your being. You can have many things, but they shouldn't be entering into your heart; they should not be making you and breaking you. The only thing that should make you and break you is the Divine. If He is happy, we are happy, if He is sad, you can't even breathe on your carpet. You don't know how to repent and to seek His forgiveness.
So then they come into our lives and many of us have the same and many have slightly different (concerns). So they come into our lives and they begin to tug, to test you, "Do like this, do like that, give like this, give like
that," and then you find your dunya is not like this (holds beads up) but our dunya is like this (tight grasp on beads), and there is such a tug and pull to give from it, to walk away from it, to release ourselves from it, that, there is a burn mark on our hands (from keeping a tight grasp).
And this is the same in every aspect of life. We are not always talking about money, we are talking about everything. There are people who come and ask questions about difficulties in court, or difficulties in divorce,
difficulty in relationship, difficulties in health, all of that when we are holding, and the shaykhs come and give us guidance that, "Submit, release it, don't worry about it," you take the medicine you have, if you have it, you don't have to fret over it. Then you can't even pray, you are stressed out about what you have to do, go to twenty different doctors to resolve it. What you have is what you have, sit down on your carpet and pray.
9:51 Holy Quran Say: "Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us: He is our protector": and on Allah let the Believers put their trust.
Then they begin to show us, *" Eh, you have a difficult time now," so if they pull your money, you don't feel like praying. "O I am very depressed, I can't pray right now."* A death or calamity comes, "I can't pray." So then it wasn't Allah that you were worshipping; it was these things. As long as the things are there, you say "I am good with you yaa Rabbee." And then you keep praying to improve those things.
Then they come into our lives and take our health away. These are all just examples, because people may think: "O he just wants to talk about money," Mawlana Shaykh says, "It is everything that we are attached to." They take your health away and you become so depressed, you can't pray. "Yaa Rabbee, I thought you promised me good health." He says: “Who promised you good health? Look at all the prophets, they went through tremendous difficulties. Many saints were under unbelievable difficulties.
9:123 Holy Quran Of their goods, take alms, that so thou mightest purify and sanctify them; and pray on their behalf. Verily thy prayers are a source of security for them: And Allah is One Who heareth and knoweth.
We were watching a very sad movie of a German nun, and they were in the habit of wrapping things around themselves with spikes and they don't even show it. And when you look at them they looked normal and were always fasting, inflicting on themselves tremendous difficulty. They take a path of hardship, coming against their ego to make sure their worshiping is solely for the Divine and not for the pleasures of the flesh and body. And awliyaaAllah come and say, "Not even the pleasure of the soul." Don't worship Allah asking for Paradise. Say "Yaa Rabbee, if You throw me in hell, I will be happy, if You throw me in Paradise, I will be happy, whatever Your will for me, I am trying to be happy. Just grant me Your Holy Face.”
So they come into our lives and begin to pull all these things from us. *Some people, when you pull from their money, they start to go crazy and they become extremely angry*, unbelievable characteristics come out. A test of health, and they lose themselves, running around looking for a solution. How may people we know off that have been given the understanding that death is coming and they spend their last time searching for ten more days or sixty more days, instead of enjoying the sixty days that they have been told?
So then they come into our lives to bring these realities out to perfect our reality. So then they pull something from us and we have been through many tests with Mawlana Shaykh, that they pull all that and you find yourself saying, “I can't pray.” And then you sit on your carpet and you start to realize that. "Why did that affect me?" Why the thought of losing that or all my tests that come, "Why is it affecting me?" And then in our
consciousness we begin to realize that Allah Azzah wa jal is saying that, "That, was in your heart and that is why you were worshipping Me." It’s like having a beautiful wife and you don't know if she is with you for you or is she with you for the money? Or, having a husband and that is the same (question). To Allah Azzah wa jal, Mawlana Shaykh is saying, “Its like ghairat “ in English it is "jealous." At some point you are approaching very close, let’s see what really this love is?
So then they start to pull these different issues in our life. And lets see the level of submission, (if you say) “O I want to walk away from that contract.” If you can still pray and meditate then it did not affect your heart. And your Lord is pleased with you. "Don't worry about this sickness and this difficulty, instead of running around like crazy trying to find a solution, just submit and see if you can still pray, then your Lord will be happy. And so then even your health is not in your heart, even your wealth is not in your heart, none of these things are in your heart, and really all that is left in your heart is My love.” And they begin to take us towards
the perfection of our faith.
9:111 Holy Quran Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): ...
And that is why then, when people come to tariqa, they don't understand. They say, *"O when I joined these guys, I lost my job, I lost my wife and my car."* I got a guy like that in Michigan, he said, "I lost my job and my car got re-possessed. I don't know what kind of path this is, I am completely leaving it and I don't ever want to see it again." And Mawlana Shaykh was saying that its not in tariqa, *we are not a re-possession company*, that as soon as you join in that we re-possess, but you are stepping on a path of reality and asking your Lord to perfect your faith. And your Lord is saying just like Sayyidina Ayub/Job (as), who had everything, “I will test him and I can always restore it, and give it all back at a later date, but as I pull it, I want to see the calibre and the quality of being that you are. If I pull something out of your life, you become completely crazy, lose your mind, become belligerent and an unbelievable characteristic? What happened to the softness, the love and the sincerity?” So without that testing we don't know what we are made of.
And Allah Azzah wa jal knows what we are made off. But He wants to show us what we are made off. He says, "You keep thinking you are like this, lets open and take an inventory." And then as soon as you open the self, what do we find? *There is all shattered glass; that is this the stuff I was made off?* “You tested me with this and I became angry. And as soon as you tested me with that” and I became sad. As soon as you tested me with this, I can't even move towards my carpet to meditate, to contemplate and to pray.”
And then Mawlana Shaykh is teaching us, this is not tariqa. Tariqa is going to come and not because it is tariqa and to do it, but we are moving towards a perfection that the Divine is going to begin to pull these things from our life and see what you are made off and what you believe in. And as soon as that faith begins to perfect itself, it is the only thing that will save us.
So we were talking the other day after Jumu'ah, about the concept of fearing Allah. If we don't pass this level, where Hasbun-Allah, Rabbun-Allah: that my faith and trust is in Allah, your Lord is Allah. It means He is in
complete control of my life. If He puts it back in, I am trying not to be as excited as possible, but I am trying to be consistent. Without that perfection in life, then imagine a scenario that tomorrow on television they put out on the news that everybody is going to die unless they take this shot. They are debating what is fear of Allah? You say, "I don't have fear of Allah, Allah is very loving."
So consciousness of Allah is not necessarily fear, or to be punished, but to trust only in Allah Azzah wa jal, which is very difficult. It means in times of difficulty and severe levels of testing, when somebody comes and says: "O everybody is going to get sick. Everybody will have dog flu now, unless you come and take this shot, you are going to die in sixty days." What happens at that time if the faith is not perfected?
They come back into our lives and teach us, "Did you think that that TV determines your life and your death?" Because it wants to, that one-eyed TV wants to control what you think and what you believe and then Allah answers back, "Is that the one that gives you life and death, or do I give you life and death?" But that is a faith that somebody has to have. We have to be tested through that to reach towards that. And, "Did you think that you have that sickness and they inject you with the dog's shot, that you did not have to begin with, and they inject you with that, you are going to live? Or do I determine your life and your death?"
It means that these are what we are mentioning in the last days, difficulties are coming that need an unbelievable level of faith; where your faith and your trust is in Allah Azzah wa jal. Allah Azzah wa jal says, "You are not doing anything wrong, you don't need to worry about it, recite on your water, that is enough for you. Don't worry if you are to be alive, you are going to be alive. If you are to be dead, all the shots in the world won't give you another day.” Because there are days of difficulties coming that people can't imagine. The television and media is going to determine who is going to be living and who is going to be dying and who is going to be sick, because they operate, Shaytan operates through fear. Shaytan puts a fear and then grants you a solution. For people of Imaan, their solution is only Allah Azzah wa jal.
And that is why Allah Azzah wa jal says, "Fear no one but Me." Not like in poetry or philosophy that I do not fear anyone, but the threat is real, the danger is real. "Yaa Rabbee, how am I going to reach to a level where I
completely put my trust in You, when all sorts of craziness is around me? And how do I really know that You are the one who is going to heal me? All of this is really nice but do I really know you are there?" Then they begin to come into our lives and perfect that faith. They begin to pull all of these things that are in our heart, bring us down, collapse us, crush us, until that perfection of light begins to grow when we know we taste it, we feel it, we sense it and we smell it, and with a certainty you know it. At that level of yaqeen and certainty, is the only level of safety to reach towards that reality.
9:119 Holy Quran: O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.
We pray that that reality opens for us, that Prophet (s) opens for us and the awliyaaAllah open for us, and the reason we repeat it, is so that we can repeat it to other people, because other people have a very superficial
understanding of tariqa. And they say, "Why are they like this, why do they do like that, why is it that as soon as you join them everything collapses like this?" And you say: "Hey man, this way is very real. That is the exact proof its reality." That as soon as you join them, the testing begins, it is not a poetry class and not a philosophy class from a professor at school. It is very real, the minute you step in saying I am moving towards that reality, Allah Azzah wa jal says, "It is accepted." Now the testing begins, lets pull, what is that game that the kids have, where everything is built on these straws, Jenga. We have many games with the same name, where all this garbage is built on these sticks and they are there pulling these sticks from under us, pulling them out, pulling them out, pulling them out! Don’t worry if you loose too many sticks, Allah can add them back at a later time, it's not difficult. But let us pull them out and see what this guy is made off? Is he sweet or he becomes sour and difficult?
So we pray that we remain sweet through our testing. And that Allah does not test us beyond our ability, and their madad and support always dresses us and that we are under their support and they bless us. And Sultan
al-Awliyaa, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Mawlana Shaykh Adnan Kabbani illa sharafee Nabee sallahu alayhi wa sallam, wa aalihi wa ashaabi hil kiraam, illa tariqatun Naqshbandiyya khaasatun roohi Imaami tariqati gawthi khaliqati Khawaaja Bahaudin Naqshbandi Uwwaisi al Bukhari, madad al Shaykh Abdullah Faiz ad-Dhagestani, wa Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, wa Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Adnan Kabbani, Mawlana Shaykh Abdul Khaliq al Ghudjwani, Saahib az-Zamaan Sayyidina Muhammad Mahdi (as), ruhullah Sayyidina Isa (as), wa

Love for the Guide
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem
Our way and direction is to follow the path of the most distinguished Naqshbandi Tariqat (spiritual path). The path that has been laid in this era by the master of our time Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Haqqani and his beloved Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani. Everyone is free to choose what they do with their life and a passageway they prefer from this life to the afterlife. We believe our ship of safety in this world is to follow our captain. Our obedience to their teachings is our safety. Any situation our master will put us through is the correct way. How one follows cannot only be achieved through obedience, perseverance, and patience. An element that governs them all is love. You may hear someone tell you due to one’s action that they are blinded by love. Then admit you are blind. We are blind and our Guide can see. That is the level of belief we are trying to accomplish in order to truly experience love.
What is Love? Our Master Mawlana Shaykh Hisham once explained. Love is to feel what the one you love is feeling. When they are experiencing pain in any part of their body than you experience the same in your body. What they are feeling you are feeling. Anything affecting them is also transferred to you. You are annihilated in their love. You become a mirror image of whom you love. To follow a Master is not easy and even more difficult when we are not governed by love but our ego. To give your hand to them and take an oath to pursue their wisdom is not a short term commitment. It is a lifetime commitment. It is like someone is being rescued in the middle of the ocean. The teacher reaches out and grabs you up into his ship and saves you from the stormy oceans. He is guiding the ship to reach the destination of safety. That ship is the spiritual path. All you have to do is to hold on and do not let go.
We cannot illustrate or even begin to understand the sacrifices these guides make for the love of their Creator and beloved Prophet (pbuh). Whatever we may describe is always falling short of the true reality. They sacrifice for the benefit of their students and want nothing but the best for them. That best is for the eternal life and the life of this world which is coming to an end one day. These Guides have dedicated their entire lives to this spiritual path. They give up their time, wealth, privacy, and family life for the sake of their Lord. It is the greatness of God that he has created this reciprocal relationship; you cannot love me until you love all that I have created. They carry the burdens of their followers. These are all our bad behaviors, bad manners, and sins which they clean us from and give us positive energy. They are bringing those difficulties on to themselves and Allah is granting them power to carry our burdens. Imagine if one person comes to talk to you about their problem from something small or big. It will leave you heavy in your heart for days and affects your daily life. How are these saints listening to thousands of people and everyone is coming with an issue. Everyone is seeking a resolution from these saints and these guides are raising their hands to pray for them. Overtime they find their problems to go away slowly and their lives are filling with blessings. These Guides show the best of manners in treating everyone equally and always receive you with a smile. People come and throw rocks at them they return with flowers. They return with their pure prayers and ask forgiveness on their behalf. When one’s goal is the love of their lord, prophet, and master then they embrace every difficulty with a smile. Their prayers become as God says in the holy Quran: (6:161) “Say: Lo! my worship and my sacrifice and my living and my dying are for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.” They have a pure intention that has an upward movement to the Creator. It does not leave any room for the material world. They are not in need of anything from us. We are in need of them to bring out the seeds of love which God had created us with in the first place.
Our Masters have love that is not only on their tongue but every cell of their body is in action to give that blessing. It does not stop there until we are receiving from their heart the endless oceans of love. That is the love they have toward us. How then do we define the love we have to have for our Guides? It cannot be defined. However high we will reach to show that love we cannot give its true right. In our everyday life how appreciative we are when someone favors us. It can be as simple as holding a door for someone or letting someone pass on the road. We are grateful and return the favor to others. How do you return a favor when someone has sacrificed their entire life for the benefit of his followers? We have neither the words nor the actions to accomplish such a task. We are indebted and can offer nothing but imitate their ways and be of service to them. Hoping for that understanding to open in our hearts to truly experience love. Help and support them with all means God has granted us. That support is for our benefit as we are falling short on our promise. Love for our Guide is a taste each and everyone has to experience in their journey. But first, have unconditional love. Love that does not want anything in return. That love will lead you to the love of Prophet and to the love of Lord of creation.

Acquiring Good Energy and Repelling Bad Energy
Acquiring Good Energy and Repelling Bad Energy thru Muraqabah/Meditation
Secrets of Fusion with your Divine Reality
From the Teachings of Shaykh Muhammad (s) Hisham Kabbani “`Ati-Allāha wa ati`ur-Rasūla wa ulil-amri minkum” – “O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you.” This is our message for every association: that we have to be obedient to Allah (swt) and to his messenger and to His sincere servants that will guide us to the right way. The right way is the way that everyone likes. The right way is the way that everyone wishes. The right way is the way that everyone wants for himself or herself. The right way is the way that leads us to the Divine Presence. Destruction/distraction, from the right way, will lead us to another way, which might not end in the Divine Presence. Which might end somewhere that makes you to be lost. All this Allah (swt) sent His messengers and He sent the Seal of Messengers to show us how we are able to establish ourselves and how we can heal all the pain and sadness that might occur in our lives.
Difficulties is The Rocket Fuel of the Soul
- Pain and sadness are important in our lives because it might bring you back to the way that Allah wants you to be in.
- When you are in a difficulty, you remember Allah (swt); when you are in pain, you remember Allah (swt); when you are in sadness you remember Allah (swt).
- When you are sick you remember Allah (swt). When you are in any situation lonely, you remember Allah (swt).
- When you are longing for someone that your care for, you remember Allah (swt).
- That is why Awliya'ullah reached the levels, the high levels, because they were always longing to reach Allah (swt) they were always in pain to reach their Creator, always sad not able to reach the door of Sayyidina Muhammad (s).
- So that kind of overwhelming energy that comes out from the
heart , when a situation arises, that makes you to feel the importance of that love that you care for, and it might lead you to the love of the Shaykh and the love of the Prophet and the love of Allah (swt). - If you see how much Saints were suffering because of their intensive love to Sayyidina Muhammad (s) and they wanted to reach his door in order that they will reach the door of Allah (swt). { This is why they Obey their Shaykhs Orders knowing that it is from the Prophet and knowing or not knowing if it is going to cause difficulty on them doesn't matter but what matters is understanding when Allah calling for You the fastest way to pull you soul back to His Divinely presence is when we are in Hardship for our Lords Sake. This makes physical body as if on fire and soul fleeing to safety shores of the Prophet where verily hearts will find their peace}
As Allah (swt) said in the holy Qur’an “If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked Allah (swt)’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful.” [4:64]
When they are oppressors to themselves, when they are in a situation to make them remember love of the Prophet, they come to Muhammad (s), as the Sahaba (companions) came to Sayyidina Muhammad (s), saying ya Rasulullah, seeking forgiveness, and Allah (swt) made it a condition.
- Wa staghfara lahum ar-Rasul - You make forgiveness on their behalf. That means they were able to reach the Divine Presence that they were guided to it and longing for it. { Calling Afu ya Afu}
Secrets of Fussion
What are these two energies?
- One explodes on earth and kills people.
- The one from the sun rejuvenates people.
- The one on earth ends.
- The one in the sky never ends.
- That means there are two kinds of energy.
- One is heavenly energy, it never ends.
- The evil energy is here and it destroys and it will destroy.
- We are praying from Muraqabah. We are losing confidence in ourselves. Then we have to look at what is going on. There are people that confess that they are losing faith and they want the faith back.
- Those are the good people. Because always we lose faith. Satan is after us and we are always losing.
So they produce that evil energy and it becomes like as shield around a human being.
So it becomes like you know the shuttle, they send the shuttle up in space. They built it so that it can be protected from the high intensity of the energy that might not make it into fire that make it blow up. Like airplanes that if they are not made of certain kinds of metals, to avoid them blowing up or they are pressurized and they are made to keep the pressure or everyone will die. Similarly the shuttle when passing down, it passes through a situation where the heat is so intense that even one brick missing in the wing made all that energy to the shuttle and caused it to burn up.
It means the scientists have built that shuttle to withstand the intensity of that energy so that they will resist and not go into fire.
many of us have built around themselves a shield of evil energy. That through your childhood, and that is what we call the Nafs at-tifl al-madhmoomat. That is grown up in us thru childish acts. Building up in us all kinds of arrogance all kinds of pride, to make us to lie and cheat and to forget the prophet and forget Allah (swt) and to forget the Saints. That becomes like a shield around us. Like space shuttle it does not let good energy to go thru. That is why people are losing their faith and their confidence. They are coming and admitting it; that is good. Like a sick person, has a kidney failure so what do they do dialysis to purify his blood.
They put a tube in his hand, so that every time they don’t have to punch him. They just connect the tube and then the dialysis tube will begin to clean the body.
Your 'Bayat' Initiation is like Catheter into the Heart. The Shaykh gives you the connection so that spiritual medicine can be given at specific doses in ones life
So when you admit you are losing faith and losing yourself and losing confidence and not able to make Muraqabah, and not able to make meditation. Yes admit it and they will make a tube for you, and that will allow the good energy to go thru that shield. That shield you have built like a shield by satan and ego.
The Saints put a small tube and let that energy that is coming form the sun, that goes thru the tube and slowly slowly destroys the bad energy that is around yourself.
For that reason, Allah (swt) said, “and indeed you have already known the first form of creation (that is the form of Adam). Why then do you not then take heed?” [56:62]
That means We Have created you perfect, without any pollution. Clean. Don’t you remember that?
“Then tell me about the seed that you sow in the ground.”
It means tell me about the seed that you have grown in your body. What kind of seed have you planted there? Is it a good energy or a polluted energy? If it is a polluted energy then you have to know that you are doing a mistake. Allah (swt) said, is it you who make it to grow or we who are the growers. When you plant you took your decisions. According to your niyyat (intention). If your intention was good, you will receive good energy. If your intention is bad it will be bad energy. “Is it ye that cause it to grow, or are We the Cause? Were it Our Will, We could crumble it to dry powder.’ [56: 64-65]
If you want to put that shield and keep it, you are going to be dry and you are going to regret. You are going to see nothing thru your heart. You will have a dark heart. But if you let that shield to be destroyed by good energy, that comes thru heavens through a channel. Every person has a channel. Every human being has his own channel that Allah (swt) gave to him and the only channel that you have is for you and not for anyone else. The only one that can channel you and guide you to your channel is the doctor that can put the dialysis machine thru that tube every three days. Or those doctors that put the serum every few hours, they put the serum, they don’t punch you, they keep you connected.
That doctor is your guide he has to put the tube for you. If not there, then you cannot break a hole in that shield of dark energy. That doctor has to find the weak spot and drill thru that to put the tube and then the doctor begins to put the serum. After a few days he will stand up no longer sick. Saints of Allah open that tube and make you get that energy that is heavenly energy.
What is that heavenly energy and how it change our lives and how we can get and how we can achieve it. This we will leave for another association. But before I leave it, I will say that that energy the only way you can receive it is thru Muraqabah/Meditation. Like you are a magnifier, you put a paper under the sun and it does not burn. You put a magnifier and put the paper, and then the paper will burn. That energy thru Muraqabah will destroy that shield that shaytan built around you. So Muraqabah is a magnifier, it intensifies the energy of the good energy and to overcome the bad energy and destroy it.
What is that energy;
people speak of energy and give it different meanings. [They say it] is electric fields and electromagnetic fields and different wavelengths. What is the origin of that energy and how it works thru Saints?
If the love Awliya (saints) have for the Prophet was to be revealed it would burn. When that love comes, they cannot control themselves, tears come. They cannot control themselves. How much they were longing Awliya, to be in the presence of the Prophet, dunya and Akhira. Addressing and seeing him and speaking with him, face to face with no veil. That can stop them from being given that blessing that Allah (swt) gave to Sayyidina Muhammad (s). O Muslims, believers, that love to the Prophet is beyond description! That what that kind of energy that can burn every other energy, can overcome every kind of energy, that makes tears in the eyes, that one tear can bring fire down. That energy that Sayyidina Muhammad (s) when you come in his presence and he dresses you with that beauty dress that Allah (swt) gave him that energy can break thru all the polluted energy, that can make Muraqabah with the Prophet with no veils. That is the experience of shaykhs thru their seclusion that is their experience in their life. That is why they addressed the Prophet thru all kinds of praising from a burning heart. That comes from the emotions of a burning heart. These tears were turned into ink, their hairs were turned into pens to write, all kinds of praises, all kinds of beauty, all kinds of blessings and manifestations, all kinds of revelations that Allah (swt) had thrown in their hearts, using the ink of their tears, to write thru every hair of their body, thru every capillary in their hearts and veins, all them writing Muhammadun Habibullah, Muhammadun Rasulullah, Muhammadun Khaliullah, Muhammadun Naji’ullah. May Allah (swt) dress us with that; may Allah (swt) bless us with that; may Allah (swt) give us what He likes and keep that connection thru our shuyukh to Sayyidina Muhammad (s) to enable us to be at his door.
