A`udhu billahi min ash-Shaytaan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem

Nawaytu 'l-arba`een, nawaytu 'l-`itikaaf, nawaytu 'l-khalwah, nawaytu
'l-riyaada, nawaytu 's-salook, nawaytu 'l-`uzlah lillahi ta`ala al-

If I count the number of Grandshaykh's suhbats since I began to hear
his suhbat until he passed away, it might be you can count 10,000
suhbats since I began to hear or more and every suhbat is like a
fountain, pouring knowledge that we are in need for it.
If I count from when I knew Mawlana Shaykh Nazim until today might be
I count 20,000. And the most important is not the number of the suhbat
but the understanding of what they are saying or what they are trying
to tell us.

From one suhbat if someone is really into it, and he is seeking the
way of gnostics, one suhbat will be enough to change him from a pebble
into a diamond. One suhbat is enough to change a student from ignorant
to intelligent from darkness to light. But there is an obstacle that
is always facing us and if that obstacle we cannot clear it from our
way, it is always going to come in front to stop us from following
what they are saying.

Prophet built up his Sahaba, to take away from them that obstacle. It
is not so easy, but If someone has the intention Allah swt will give
him the energy.
Grandshaykh used to tell us an example what we call it not a story,
but a wisdom, an advice. And this advice since long time we didn't
brought it up, but now it might be important to bring it up.

Grandshaykh said, may Allah bless his soul, said
"there are 7 diamonds, they are the biggest in the world. And these
diamonds are
rare, only seven of them.

That Allah swt honored dunya with them." And
he said that no one can reach them. It is not something for people to
sell or to buy. These are seven, like seven pillars that are holding
the earth. These seven diamonds he said, they are, they have on them
the symbol of Sayyidina Jibreel (as). And they are hidden in earth
some in oceans, some in earth that no one can bring them up except in
time of Mahdi (as).

He said, "Awliyaullah they know where they are, but there is no
permission to bring them out. Awliyaullah can see them, when they need
power they go there and get energy and power from there. There are, it
is the picture of Sayyidina Jibreel drawn on them. It is the source of
heavenly power or energy that energy, what is running thru human
beings." There are many people who try to do, they say that they are
using energy or channeling energy in different ways of belief. Is it
not? And they think that they are doing something. But in reality they
cannot move one inch. That energy is not given to that heavenly energy
is not given to anyone except to awliyaullah. Other than awliyaullah
those who speak about energy and channeling energy that is earthly
energy.

Heavenly energy is related to these 7 diamonds jewels that are very
rare deep into a place that no one can reach them and awliyaullah are
taking from them that energy because it reflects the heavenly energy
on them and they are dressing it and moving with it. That is why
awliyaullah are like spotlights where ever they go they are center of
attention because they are dressed wit those energies.

These 7 diamonds one of them as with Sultan Ibrahim (as) ibn al-Adham
and when he left his kingdom it was taken from him. One wali appeared
and said, "Give it to me it is not yours."
Grandshaykh said "from these energies we take and we give. This is one
of the beginning of using heavenly energy. As awliyaullah ascend they
get more and more form these energies as the heavenly energy  is being
transmitted from these 7 jewels hidden in earth."

They connect with these 7 energies like seven days, 7 heavens, and
many different number of 7 is being using. 7 points in the body, 7
secrets. All these number 7 is hidden the meaning of it and it is
related to the 7 energies that this picture of Sayyidina Jibreel is on
it.

Allah swt mentioned in surat an-najm, wan-najmi idha hawa ma dalla
sahibukum wa ma ghawaa wa yantiqun an ilhawa in huwa illa wahyun yuhaa
allamahu...tadalla, fa kaana qaaba qawsayni aw adna... yara...inda
sidratul
muntaha... jannatal mawa.

In the surah, that prophet when he was on his way to Night of
Ascension and he saw what he saw there and he was 2 bows of an arrow
or nearer, he saw, Jibreel, wa laqad ra'ahu nazlatun ukhra...

He didn't see Allah there. Because Allah cannot be in a created
creation, because laqad ra'ahu nazlatan ukhra, in another descension,
`inda sidrat al-muntaha in the Paradise that is not by the Kursee, not
by the `Arsh, and then that is between Kursee and the `Arsh, that
sidratul muntaha, the highest level that can be reached. `Indaha
jannat al-mawa, there is the abode tree, the furthest point that
anyone can reach and then Allah swt's Throne.

There he saw Jibreel in his reality. When Jibreel used to come to the
Prophet he didn't come with his reality but was coming with his
reflection. He was coming with his reality but not the one that is in
heavens because the heart cannot carry it.

So the reality of Jibreel that the Prophet saw, in the Paradise of
shelter, idh yaghsha as-sidratu ma yaghsha. Ma zaagh al basara wa ma
tagha. There he saw that huge light that appeared and it has no
beginning and no end. That light, when you look at a light, what
happens, when you look back? Blurry eyes.

Allah said in Holy Qur'an that when that light appeared to the Prophet
and Jibreel appeared the vision that the Prophet (s) was seeing was
never blurred by that. He was able to carry that light and channel it
thru himself, that light that appeared from the Throne what is there.
No one knows. Prophet reached qaaba qawsayni aw adna from there the
maqam of 2 bows length or less that reality came from there he saw him
Jibreel as he created him, saw his complete shape and that light was
shining and the Prophet (s) never got blurred eyes. His vision was
sharp; he was seeing these realities there.

From these realities the awliyaullah inherit this energy. It is not
chakra and makra and fakra. And I don't know what and they make names,
Reiki and energy points and energy no points, and they punch you with
needles, activating these points. These are like someone has a toy,
this one [I have a toy] like that has a toy and he pulled the head
from one side and pull the hand from one side and pt them together
back and put head back in the leg place and the leg in place of the
head an they practice on people these kinds of experiments and say we
are doing energy healing.

That is ok for children, do whatever they like. Keep people busy.
People like to waste their money, so keep them busy with that. Some
people say "we will give you electric shock" and they put small , 2
ohms and the say how do you feel now? "O I am better," what are you
going to say. They are cheating them and they inherited that. Real
energy is not a toy. Awliyaullah take from the Prophet (s) and the
Prophet (s) is taking it from the abode tree where that appeared.

So this is that kind of energy that we get is that awliyaullah is what
they look for.
He said, that and Sayyidina Muhammad (s) saw Sayyidina Jibreel in a
2nd descent at the utmost boundary at the 7th heaven...

These 7 jewels symbolize 7 heavens.

In every heaven, Jibreel appears in a different picture. They are not
able to take his reality so they faint, Sayyidina Jibreel. So In
different heavens 1st, 2nd 3rd he appears differently.
"beyond which no one can pass..." the Prophet was coming from there!
If
you go back a little bit it says. "Will you dispute with him, Prophet
Muhammad (s) with what he saw?"

He was coming back and Jibreel appeared in his complete reality, near
the Jannat al-Mawa, the Paradise of Abode, when that covered it the
Lote Tree what did cover it, the sight of the Prophet (s) did not
transgress nor did it....

When that light appeared the Prophet (s)'s sight was very sharp. That
energy when it comes at every moment in this universe, from that light
that appeared that energy that is all these kinds of waves and all
these kinds of vibrations that is coming from Jibreel. The awliyaullah
take from these wave and energy that are coming from that light.

So these 7 jewels each one is a reflection of the reality of Jibreel
from one of these 7 heavens. Awliyaullah make ziyarah there and they
take energy there in order to take more energy and in order to give
that to their followers.

That is why awliya don't like to be disturbed. There hearts don't want
to be disturbed They are in another presence. But people don't do
that- they come and go. He said, to me many times, "I like to be
alone. I like to be away form people."

And Grandshaykh used to say, "I like to be where no one can reach me.
I only want to be in presence of my beloved one Sayyidina Muhammad
(s)."

So this energy that is coming, the awliyaullah swim in it and they
distribute it and channel to their followers everywhere in order that
they will be dressed with these realities and secret knowledge and
secret lights, in order that they will be dressed with it.

If you are in the army you have a certain dress to dress. On top of
that dress they give you these stars and on top of that they put these
medallions. You cannot put these stars on normal dress - it has to be
certain dress. You cannot put these stars on different dress. You
cannot put the medallion on any shirt like this shirt. Or this shirt.
I has to be a certain shirt the army gives to put medallions.

Also he cannot dress the students. Awliyaullah cannot dress their
students with these knowledge and realities if they don't give them
these dress that the stars can be dressed on it. That dress it the
energy they take from the energy of Jibreel's pictures dress on their
followers and on top of that they are able to dress different kind of
stars and medallions and buttons.

Everyone depends on his ability and capacity. Not hanky-panky issue.
There is a discipline that you have to follow. Energy must not be
wasted and it must be dressed the person and on top of it these
ornaments of will be dressed on them.

Mawlana gave permission gave tonight permission to speak on that
tonight, never that was give permission before.
The time is approaching. This Ramadan many many directions have been
given and message from prophet to awliyaullah to be ready for heavenly
support to bring peace on earth. May Allah forgive us. Bi hurmatil
fatiha.
[begins khatm]
[interrupts khatm]

We brought that story of Sayyidina Jibreel we brought that and Mawlana
is reminding me to go back to where we brought back the example, that
that obstacle that is facing every one of us that we have to eliminate
from our life is the obstacle that is stopping that energy from moving
in us and we have to keep that zeal that enthusiasm to do that. And
that main obstacle is the ego. It does not accept except what the ego
commands you. The go is always commanding and no way we are able to
ride on it. When you are able to ride on it, it means you reached the
level of sainthood. The Prophet eliminated that from his Sahaba. He
used to say, "O Allah don't leave me to my ego for blink of an eye,"
and the Prophet is ma`sum and still saying that. And that means our
ego is the main obstacle that is stopping us from reaching that
reality.
So Grandshaykh gave us three to put in our head like 3 nails.

1) if your shaykh to dig you amanat Is down in earth, keep digging
until you reach. Like you are going to find the jewel of Sayyidina
Jibreel and he give you broken shovel.  And tells you dig. What is you
duty if you say this is broken shovel and use your mind you are
finished.
So many times this is the obstacle. One on the 3 examples this is the
obstacle. You cannot say to yourself, "O, what I am going to dig, 1
yards or 2 yards or 3 yards, cannot dig more than that. No need to dig
anything, no need to dig."  Might be you find in one meter. Your duty
is to dig.
If the shaykh says to you "O my son take this cup and empty the
ocean." What is your job? To take the cup and empty the ocean. That
means don't let your ego to give you wrong information. If your shaykh
says to you that your trust, that diamond of Sayyidina Jibreel, is in
far east and you are in far west. Don't say "I cannot" you duty is to
go. Find a way.
So these examples are to show us that our ego is the problem. To get
this energy to be dressed with it to get these knowledges is to
eliminate this obstacle. That is why Mawlana shaykh remind me to make
that point.
It means don't fight; don't argue' don't criticize. Keep patient and
peaceful, tranquility, contentment.
Fatihat ush-sharifah.

Unimaginable Blessings of Honoring the Prophet (s)

 

Excerpt from "Who Are the Guides?" (2008) by Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
www.sufillive.com
Allāh granted awliyāullāh special knowledge from the heart of Prophet Muhammad (s) from which they share only one drop, and from that drop Shaykh Sharafuddīn ق began to describe. He was spiritual advisor to Sultān `Abdul Hamid, the last ruler of the Ottoman Empire.

Shaykh Sharafuddīn ق narrated that Allāh created a dome under the Divine Throne from which all sustenance of the Creation is dispersed for every living thing. Allāh ¹ put angels on top of that dome that are responsible to bring to every created thing their sustenance. Angels must give to you each bite of food you put in your mouth. Even the smallest living things—cells or microbes or even a virus—all need that energy, that rizq to reach them. Every particle is assigned by Allāh and is carried by angels, otherwise no soul could reach this universe without that angelic source that comes from the Heavens. Our origin is from that power, Qudrat al-Ilāhi, commonly translated as “energy” or “power,” but in reality that energy is planted and then we appear. When Allāh decides to separate that energy from our appearance, we die. Allāh created angels without limits to take that sustenance from under the dome of the Divine Throne, to disperse the rizq to everyone who needs it.

Angels must carry the food for human beings by themselves and that food has no life of its own. The food does not give life; life is given from the touch of the angels upon that food. It is not the food that gives energy, but rather the power of those angels gives you energy and life. Every bite receives the touch of three-hundred angels. Regarding animals (non-human beings), angels do not carry their food, but they guide them through with their angelic lights to the source of food and the animals take it up by themselves.

Therefore, whatever you eat is brought to you by angels, and if you use or do not use that energy in Allāh’s Way, you will be judged accordingly on Judgment Day. Humans will be questioned as to how they wasted that sustenance carried down from Heavens by angels, whereas animals will not be questioned.

Allāh made those angels responsible for our sustenance and for how we live in dunyā. The exception applies to Sayyīdinā Muhammad (s), to whom Allāh granted special angels for his sustenance, as he takes from another source. We take from under the dome, but the angels bring his sustenance from above the dome. In Ākhirah, the other prophets will never know these angels.

Anything which is for Prophet Muhammad (s) goes through one particular channel. If he (s) were to come in the time of other prophets, they owe allegiance, baya`, to him. Therefore, all prophets after Adam are under Muhammad (s).

Al-Bukhari reported (and others with different wordings) that Jabir said:
The Prophet (s) said, “I was given five things which no other (prophet) has been given (and) every prophet was sent to his people, but I was sent to all of Mankind.”
Imam as-Subki in his Tasnif said, “There is no prophet except he has taken an oath that if Muhammad (s) was to come in his time, he would believe and assist him.”

All of them are from high prophets to ordinary human beings and their sustenance is from one place and Prophet’s sustenance is from other angels. Therefore, when the people asked him about fasting on Monday, Prophet (s) replied, “This is the day I was born,” thereby indicating, “This is an important day.” This indicates if you do something for the honor of Prophet (s), then you will be rewarded from angels who provide his sustenance. Anything you do for the honor of Prophet (s), Allāh sends to you those angels who have been specifically assigned to provide his sustenance, because you are doing something for him.

From that vast ocean of knowledge that Shaykh Sharafuddīn ق and Grandshaykh `AbdAllāh ق bring, they elaborated further on this topic of reward for love of Prophet (s). They (may Allāh sanctify their souls) said (quoting their notes):

• Allāh created angels that are very huge in body and who remain in continuous tasbīh, glorifying Allāh.
• Allāh also decreed that for every atom or smallest particle associated with any act of love or honor towards Prophet (s), He will divide it into 70,000 small particles on which He will then send 70,000 angels making istighfār for the person who committed that act! This certainly includes any event rejoicing in the Prophet’s (s) birth, any gift or food sent to the Rawdat al-Mutahirrah, the Noble Garden of the Prophet’s (s) tomb, a custom observed by kings and common folk alike.
• All of those angels will descend from the dome above the Divine Throne to the person’s home and the tasbīħ they recite will be written for that servant from that time until the Judgment Day. Those angels will encompass that person’s home along with a light that goes to the Divine Throne.
  
• Whoever attends such a celebration will have all his sins waived until all his sins are forgiven as the hadith mentions, Allāh sends angels to surround those who make dhikr, and la yushqa jalīsahum, meaning, “Allāh will grant them their requests and ward off from them what they fear and forgive them their sins.”
• Even if someone came for some other purpose and happened to attend that majlis, he or she will receive the reward of that dhikr and will be forgiven.
• It is only for the honor of Prophet (s) that Allāh granted such a blessing.
  
• If someone observed Mawlid and only celebrated the birthday of Prophet (s) once in his life, half of these angels will be ordered to return to be with that person’s inheritors and grandchildren until the Judgment Day; the other half accompanies that person to his or her grave and continuously praises Allāh on their behalf until Judgment Day.

Grandshaykh `AbdAllāh said it is for this reason, for the unimaginable blessing and goodness associated with it, that we must always show an abundance of love toward Sayyīdinā Muhammad (s), as often and as much as possible!

Secrets of Divine Love and Fire Sir Sir 

By Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

www.NurMuhammad.com

 

That is a way for disconnecting yourself from anything else. No light - meaning physical light, not spiritual light. So that physical environment has to be [re-]created.    The best for that to be created is a complete dark room that no light can enter. If not able to find something like that, then you go to lowest level, to cover yourself with a blanket that allows no light to come in.   Remember at that time the ayah of the Qur’an which mentioned Sayyidina Musa:   Ith raa naaran faqaala liahlihi omkuthoo innee aanastu naaran la`allee aateekum minhaa biqabasin aw ajidu `alaa annaari huda  - “Behold, he saw a fire: So he said to his family, ‘Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; perhaps I can bring you some burning brand therefrom, or find some guidance at the fire.’|" [20:10] …   It means he was asking―[as] the fire represents energy―he was asking to send that energy that is existing there Then it continues,   Falammaa ataahaa noodiya yaa moosaa Innee anaa rabbuka fikhla` na`layka innaka bilwaadi almuqaddasi tuwaa.  “But when he came to the fire, a voice was heard: "O Moses! "Verily I am thy Lord! therefore (in My presence) put off thy shoes: thou art in the sacred valley Tuwa.” [20:11-12]
Step 2 Take off your shoes. That means Lose your selfishness and  anything that relates to this life.	At that time shoes were made from donkey leather, so they represent something, take off your ignorance. That energy that I dressed, you have reached that holy place, innaka bilwaadi almuqaddasi tuwaa, wa anaa ikhtartuka fastami` limaa yoohaa. "I have chosen thee: listen, then, to the inspiration (sent to thee).” [20:13] Listen then to what is going to be revealed to you. So When he entered into that Muraqabah, that he was looking for something that might give him, he and his family and his people, guidance or warmth (fire is warm), So this will teach us that we are in need to do some very intensive progressive physical work thru meditation, meditation is not only spiritual work, but it combines physical and spiritual work. Because you are trying to control your body from being connected or being involved in this dunya.
Step 3 Next Turn on oil lamp	Or put a candle. Not a plain candle, but is preferred a nice smelling candle. And every fragrance has a level of attaining a higher spirituality and higher knowledge. Not all smells are of the same type. aromatherapy they took it from Awliya aroma . So we have to put a candle that gives us a smell according to what the Shaykh prescribed a different smell. Not everyone will be same smell. But the first level, beginning level is the same, and then after that as one goes to a different level of spirituality different smell. Every smell will attract a different level of spirituality. So that … candle in front of you is symbolizing the energy that Sayedena Musa (as) saw, and when you are sitting there, they are smelling that smell and we will say later what smell Mawlana wants you to use. Directing to kiblah and that light is lighted. And you now imagine yourself that you are reaching that holy valley, al-waadi al-muqadassa tuwa – in the last moment, the last days of your life. When you are in your last days you are passing towards akhira, you are concentrating all you feelings for Allah to forgive you.. With all the concentration that you seek Allah’s forgiveness. When you are in that position of| the last breath, last time, last moment with You, and forgive me and you come with the Prophet’s recitation of the Dua for the blind man. With that du`a you connect your heart, by that nice smell that is coming, you focus your vision on that flame, on that light that is coming there.
Step 3 focus on the Light	You open your eyes focus and everything else is dark, only that light there and you are looking at that light very clearly on that light for 5 minutes. You focus with no movement for 5 minutes. Then close your eyes 5 minutes, reflecting the image of your Shaykh connecting with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim for 5 minutes and then imagining that he is connecting you to the heart of the Prophet (s). So after period of five minutes you estimate not looking at watch. You open your eyes looking at the flame, and then imagine you are in the presence of the Prophet (s). 5 minutes, as if holding hands of your Shaykh and coming into his presence. 5 minutes there and then open your eyes, And then as if the Prophet (s) guiding, guiding your Shaykh to that holy valley and waiting for inspiration to come to your heart. It is a total of 15 minutes.   Now from the first time you might not reach to hear anything, but if you do that daily without interruption for 40 days, with no interruption - if there is interruption you have to do another 40.   Then you will be able to receive some kind of inspiration thru your heart and you will be day by day, as you are doing that, finding yourself more and more able to visualize the Shaykh there and you can see him as if he is in front of you, but with your eyes closed. Then later you will be able to feel the presence of Prophet (s) is there, you cannot see the Prophet (s) but you fell his presence, then you can feel the Divine Presence is there.  As you are moving slowly that will increase, that will increase, that will increase. You might increase quickly if you try to do it hard and try to increase the time, five minutes, five minutes, five minutes, then another five minutes, for half an hour, some for half an hour, some for an hour it is up to you. During that if you are connecting with 1. Mawlana Shaykh you have to recite, when connecting with Mawlana Shaykh saying istighfaar, “Istaghfirullah” for two minutes   2. Then you call on your Shaykh “Ya Sayyidi, Ya Sayyidi, ya Sayyidi.” Then when done 5 minutes, then you call on 3. Presence of the Prophet (s), “Ya Rasulullah, Ya Sayyid, Ya Saahib, Ya Siddiq, Ya Rasul, Ya Allah!” You can recite that all at one time when you are in the presence of the Prophet (s) or you can make salawat on the Prophet (s).
	Then when you reach the last stage you must say, “Ya Allah.” But with each word you must meditate on it. a.      “Ya Sayyid,” you are with the Shaykh; b.      “Ya Sahib,” you are with Sayyidina Mahdi; c.      “Ya Siddiq,” you are with Sayyidina Abu Bakr; d.      “Ya Rasul,” as if you are with Prophet (s); e.      “Ya Allah,” as if you are walking towards Him, walking into the Divine Presence with they help of the Prophet (s) and your Shaykh. Imagine you are walking and day by day as if you are walking into the Divine Presence with the help of the Prophet (s) and your Shaykh.  That is the 1st step you can do to achieve more physical and spiritual power. After that there are some of the physical healing exercises and spiritual healing exercises. But Mawlana Shaykh said that is the important step to be followed up. And insha-Allah if you are successful in that then you can go to the next stage.   second steps we will come to later, how to use these energies, but you need that step to get the energy.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi

From The Teachings Of Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani

Sufi Meditation Center - Vancouver, BC

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjrtwwyEkl0&feature=youtu.be

The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) is reported to have said, �;The believer is the mirror of the believer.�; [Abu Dawud, and others]

From childhood they raise us with cartoons and one of these cartoons says to look into the mirror and look for the most beautiful one: mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all? And the mirror replies back that you are the most beautiful one, you are the best of them all. And many people in history when left to themselves did not see their reality and we don't see our reality but what our ego portrays to us and it makes our desires and our ego to seem fair and good for us. And then one extreme of that was the example of a horrible queen who was killing people and taking the blood and putting it all over herself and when she looked into the mirror she thought she looked beautiful and she thought she was getting younger by what she was doing. And everyone in the palace could see the reality that she was a horrible-looking monster with blood all over her and her skin started to get infected from all the blood she was putting all over herself, but the mirror was showing her that she was the most beautiful one of them all. It's because the mirror is going to reflect the bad ego and the Shaytan can move into that mirror and make an image to seem fair. And anyone who wants to try that go into the bathroom at night in the dark and stare at the mirror, and maybe they open for you a glimpse of the horror of the ego; it is like a big demon staring back at you and you will be scared to death and you will run out. Most people don't like looking at the mirror in the dark; it will reflect something bad or something that is in there which will step in and show its image. But for us this is very deep because Prophet (s) was teaching that the believer is the mirror to his brother and sister who are believers.

And there are two levels; one is at the level of the physicality so that the believer, the muhsin and mu'min and these are darajaats of very polished mirrors, because they have spend all their life in zikrullah and polishing then they are very shinny mirrors from Noor al-Haqq and this Noor al-Haqq begins to shine out. But in life we choose the false mirror, the mirror of illusion about which Allah (SWT) says this life is but an illusion. But what they call "The world of Illusion," has to be destroyed; that mirror has to be destroyed through marifaa. It means if we keep looking at that mirror and are pleased with what we see, the reflection of our own desires, then we are opening the imaginary world where we are always imagining things. And you speak about this to the New Age community and they imagine all sorts of crazy things..."I am doing this," "I am flying like this," "This is coming from here, or there." And many awliyaullah confronted their students who said they have had crazy imaginations. And one was telling that, "When I am doing my practises, I am imagining I am at a table with well-known pious people and we are sitting at the table eating." And that awliya said, "Okay I am giving you permission that next time when you see you are in that kind of haal/state take a knife and go to the front of that table and the one you think is so holy, cut his ear." So next time that student was in his imaginary haal he takes his knife out and cuts the ear and hears the screaming of a pig. He woke up and realizes that he was sleep-walking into a barn with the farm animals, and he was having a majlis with the farm animals. And his imagination of the one at the head of the table turned out to be a pig and he had the ear of the pig in his hand! And so the shaykh was teaching him.

But for us it is a very deep understanding that the pious people come into our life to destroy that mirror (imaginary world). So by keeping their company and by keeping their way, wa koonu ma as-sadiqeen, keeping on the path of the truthful servants of Allah (SWT), their truthfulness is based on their love of Sayyidina Muhammad (s); their hero, their image and their way of perfection is through the love of Prophet (s). If they deny the love of Prophet (s) then they are not on the Haqq that is our understanding. And the Haqq that Prophet (s) represents is what they follow; they do exactly as the Prophet (s) did, they follow his way and they have his love in everything they do. And then from the Oceans of Tawheed Allah's (SWT) Oneness begin to open. From izzatullah wa rasulihi wal mu'mineen, it means it begins to descend from Allah (SWT) and begins to flow and reflect down. Their mirror is from the Light of Haqq. And when that Light is shinning, then as soon as we come into their presence we see from our characteristics; we don't see them, we see our faults. And that is very deep for us, and many times people are coming in and seeing the faults,

"I don't like this shaykh, he is like this and he is like that," eh, but according to hadith of Prophet (s) he is a mirror, you have not seen him (in reality), all you are seeing is a polished reflection of people of zikrullah and they reflect out your identity and what you don't like is what you are seeing of yourself.

 

And then we take ourselves away to that mirror, the mirror on the wall...so who is the fairest one of them all? It says, you are. Why did you go to them (people of Haqq)? sit here and I will tell you about yourself, you are the best one, you are the greatest one. Why do you need to go sit with them? They talk and you feel insulted. Because the mirror of Haqq does not care if you are rich or poor, strong or weak, they don't change their teaching based on those who come, "O there is someone rich here so we are going to be fearful of them. The mirror of Haqq says what it needs to say and what it has been directed to say by what is being reflected into the mirror. It means the energies that are reflected into the mirror and the collective energy begins to shoot back out and starts to teach. And many times we don't like what that mirror has to tell us.

  So then they teach us that is the way to shatter the illusion. Because when we face the mirror of Haqq we realize that we are coming short, "I should be praying. I should be fasting. I should be giving. I should be building my faith." But every time I go with them, I am realizing that and I better go off by myself and do what I thinking I was doing right and be happy in my illusion.  

So then the breaking of that illusion is keeping the company and that is why Allah (SWT) has mentioned in the Holy Qur'an ati ullah, ati ur-rasul, wa `ulil amri minkum, it means to obey and follow the `ulul amr, they are the mirror. And this is why the Prophet (s) is teaching us that the believer is a mirror, ya ayyuhaladina amanu, amanu. It means they are the more powerful mirrors. If the believer is a mirror and Allah (SWT) is saying, "O you who believe, believe." It means there are darajaats of belief and as their belief becomes more powerful and becomes stronger then their mirror is reflecting more. And that is why many people can sit in their association and they all hear different things. And they come up and say that they heard something uniquely for them. Because the energy that they are going to be teaching is coming into the heart and soul and getting the information that it needs to grow. And this is just on the level of purification and that is why it is so difficult to accompany. The process of accompanying pious people is difficult means then we have to be willing to work on our faults. But most people love to live a life of ignorance and they run away from the mirror and chose to live with ignorance and deny everything.

They tell you in the reflection of the mirror to watch the news and see the destruction everywhere. "No, Shaykh, I don't like to watch news, I don't own a TV." If you don't own a TV it is like living in a closet, you don't know what is happening all around you. Everything is in destruction and falling and you are not panicking and rushing to build your faith. Everything about them has a hikmah, a wisdom, and they begin to teach us from these understandings, this is a mirror between the physicality. Then to understand them they begin to teach that these reflections are from the schools of tarbiyah and in the oceans of understanding tarbiyya there is big reality. The reality of their mirror is that they reflect to your physicality from their physicality. But the Ahlul Basirah, the people of insight, when their heart is opened what mirror are they looking at? They are not looking at you to get a reflection from you. The reason why they are teachers and guides is because they have been trained to remove themselves from dunya and when they concentrate they go into their hearts and they see who is reflecting to them. It means they see their shaykhs and they see the Light of Prophet (s) and they are constantly looking at that mirror. And that mirror of that Light and Reality is beginning to dress them.

So this is now teaching a big understanding of science. You know that all the satellites work from mirrors, they send a signal and it hits a mirror and that signal is reflected and hits another mir

ror and a series of mirrors is reflecting this light back to us.  

This is the reality and the understanding of Huwa Hu. In the reality from the highest level of understanding, Laa ilaha il-Allah can only be seen by Muhammadun Rasulullah. There is no way to get in between these two mirrors, this is Qaaba qawsayni aw adna, it means the Light of Allah (SWT), the Essence of Allah (SWT) that is reflecting out to Creation, it is the mirror for our understanding because we don't have anything tangible for that understanding. And also we are not tasting and witnessing that Reality. For us to understand that Light, it comes like a mirror and hits the soul of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) and nothing can come between that. There is no way to reach Qaaba qawsayni aw adna for Creation. The Only One who can reach that is Sayyidina Muhammad (s). From the Light of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) like a mirror it shines out. So then these are now all the purified souls, (whom it is reflecting on) they purify themselves and they look into that mirror and that is what purity is. It means that in the schools of tarbiyya they teach us good manners and for what? It's because you are in the presence and reflection of the Light of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). What ever you are doing, he is witnessing. Where are they holy from? Do they pull out from the light bulb? It's the Light of Tawheed, everything is at the level of One, where the shaykh would teach you everything from the Ocean of Tawheed, he is always moving in that reality. Everything comes from Laa ilaha il-Allah Muhammad Rasulullah and then out towards Creation. So anyone whom you feel a Light and holiness from them where is that Light coming from? These are the schools of tarbiyya and training. The training that they are connecting with their inner eyes, they are witnessing their master and awliyaullah. You sit with a grandmother and she says, "I had a dream and I saw this," well they are at a higher level than a grandmother. They have trained their bad character to be down and when they look into their heart they see the awliyaullah. Assalaamu alayka ayyuhan nabi wa rahmatuallahi wa barakaatuh, aslaamu alayna wa ala ibadillahi saliheen. Allah is making you say that in every salah, say asalaamu alayka ayyuhanabi in the present tense. So in each salah you should be seeing Sayyidina Muhammad and saying salaam in your present tense. And Allah is making you say "asalaamu alayka" not "asalaamu alaykum." And asalaamu alayka means that he must be facing you as well because you can't be saying salaam to Prophet's (s) head. Why is Allah (SWT) making you say that? Wa ibadillahi saliheen, means if you are praying then the ibadillahi saliheen are there too, how come you are not seeing them?

So then the people of inner reality whose hearts are opened see them and then they are reflecting that Light and it is from that mirror not from ourselves, it is from their company. It means at-tariqatuna suhbah Khair fil jamiyyah, the jamaa and association that Mawlana Shah Naqshband was teaching was not from gathering of the thirty people here but from the awliyaullah who are coming to be present and who are sending us their madad and support. And these souls who sit in authority are polished mirrors. Whoever they talk about they go in that presence and that one in the reality merely stand in front of them and begins to reflect out that Light. So then from the teaching of tarbiyya and adab is that Light is witnessing everything we do. Prophet (s) witnesses; this association is witnessed by Prophet's (s) Light. The Shaytan is witnessing who has more power and everyone believes that Shaytan is everywhere; the one who was in Paradise and brought down Adam (as) from Paradise by making waswas and made him to eat something. So it means Sayyidina Muhammad's (s) Light is everywhere. And if their mirror is polished and they are taking that energy, where are they taking that energy from? It's from the inner eye which is looking through the soul and seeing and saying asalaamu alayka ayyuhan nabi wa ibadilahi saliheen and that makes the association to be very holy. The lights that are reflecting out from the souls are from those Lights. And it is from the holy hadith that if you approach Allah (SWT) from your voluntary worship, He becomes the hearing with which you hear, not the ears from which you hear, means He takes over the attributes of that servant. It means Allah (SWT) will dress you from Divinely Attributes; your hearing will be from there, your seeing will be from there, your breathing will be from there, your hands and feet will be from that reality. And that is teaching us they are like a mobile phone for the heavenly associations. Whatever you do in their presence, they are witnessing; whatever character you have they are witnessing; whatever belief you have they are witnessing. And that is what makes the majlis and associations holy and makes the believers in that association to be lifted so quickly in their darajaat.

It is like an example of you praying at home or you praying in Mecca. Why did Allah (SWT) say that if we pray in Mecca it is 100,000 times the reward of your salah at home? Allah (SWT) is not only in Mecca but He is saying that place is holy, the Haramain is holy and Allah is dressing His Tajalli there and if you pray there it is 100,000 times more reward. If you pray in Madina Munawarrah from the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) maybe ten million times more blessings that praying at home. And if we pray in masjid Aqsa shareef, again it is 10,000 times more reward than praying at home. It means these are the realities of Light. These Lights are there and can quickly lift us towards that reality and they begin to teach us from the inner mirror and the outer mirror. The outer mirror perfects to us through each other and we see our faults and see our shortcomings and feel inspired to either go and fix them or run away from the mirror.

But the inner adab of how to treat the association and how to understand the shaykhs, they are working from their inner mirror and reflecting the reality of the One whom they love. If you are a lover of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) then how you treat them is witnessed by Prophet (s); he is hearing through their ears, he is seeing through their eyes and he speaks through their tongues immediately like a mobile phone. Why, does your mobile phone have more power than Sayyidina Muhammad (s)? They give you a phone and you talk to your relatives from here to India. And, can't the Prophet (s) talk to us or hear us through this (heart)? It means the servants who submit themselves and Allah says, I become your hearing, why, does Allah (SWT) want to hear through your ears? It means He is giving this power to Prophet (s) that you will hear through their ears, you will see through their eyes, you will speak through their tongues and this is the reality of awliyaullah. They are dressed from the Light of Prophet (s). Prophet (s) is witnessing what they hear and what they see and inspiring them with what they speak, Lisaan al-Haqq then lisan as-siddiq, and its on the truthful tongue inspiring in the heart what to say and what to speak and they are living and breathing Islam, the reality of Prophet (s).

It means they are in al-Hayy al-Qayyum, the Ever-Living, the real garden of Paradise. Why did Prophet (s) describe that the Ahlul Zikr are the people of Paradise? He did not describe anywhere in the masjid to be like that? He said go to the circles of zikr, they are the circles of Paradise. It means there is a secret in that circle, the malaaika are circumambulating that circle all the way to Arsh al-Rahmaan and they don't leave. It means all these realities of Light and souls and begins to teach us that these souls are very pious and very powerful and they are witnessing every character and every action that we are doing. And on the physical level they are reflecting out all our imperfections. We have to be strong enough to lock our feet with them and say, "I am not going until I am dead (my ego dies). I am going to clean myself until I am dead." And they keep reflecting, the more power that keeps hitting the mirror, the more is going in and burning just like a magnifying glass. When you are a kid and you experiment with the sun and the magnifying glass and you see it can pull that sunlight like a beam and for a few seconds its okay but when the beam starts to burn most people run because the light which is emanating from their soul begins to burn away all the filth and all the imperfection and then they go deep where we didn't know there was something wrong and they are going to bring out all of the sicknesses. It is like when you cook the brain, there are middle eastern dishes where they have animal parts and as soon as you put it in boiling water all the junk comes bubbling out. InshaAllah we pray for more and more openings in this holy month in this important and very heavy year. And we pray that Mawlana Shaykh's Light dresses us and blesses us and keeps us all towards that reality and our hearts open more and more inshaAllah. Subhaana Rabbika Rabbil izzati amma yasifoon wa Salaamun alal mursaleen wal hamdulillahi Rabbil aalameen.

Repent

 
Oh myself you have gone too far
Shrouded by the norms you have climbed too high
Vast is the view to distinguish who from who
You see everyone below you but the pinnacle oppressor

Mighty is the clutch of the animal that nurtures
Bonded by the sins it requires your service
Broken by trust it feeds your wishes
Sleeping thoughts cannot free you from your own inhibition

How you are naive to your own promise
Clinched so tightly to the appalling desires
Let go and welcome the tears of burning heart
Knock on the door of the Help of Truthful ones

Repent and migrate to the dome of Rising sun
Face your shadow and don't run away
Give water to the Hope of the intricate manner
Repent through the gifted mercy of this way.
