Waswaas in Arabic, appears first like a hidden voice. You cannot hear a voice. He comes hiding himself. His voice you cannot hear by ear.
You can understand by heart.
So when shaytan comes he comes with a hidden voice.
He
comes without you feeling it and suddenly it shakes you down like an
earthquake. An earthquake you never know about it. And now with
technology, they are making these seismographs, sensors, in order that
they can detect any earthquake around the world.
You
think that Awliya don't have a detector, to detect any affect of
shaytan that is coming to them or to their followers. That is a
ZilZalaha.
The
mufasirooon described the waswaas as an earthquake. That is like an
earthquake. It is a small wavelength, that the angles move one part of
the earth from one side and from the other side it causes a shaking.
Those
who are not protected, a waswaas comes to you and suddenly you are
excited to fall into something. Even you are dressing a big turban and
jubbah, still you are going to fall in to the trap of shaytan.
So
the waswaas is words that shaytan throws in the heart, in a hidden way,
that no one can understand, not the mind, only the heart. That is where
the danger lies. Because if it goes thru the mind, you can reasons .
but what goes thru the heart, immediately it takes it accepting it as
good. Most people get that and think it is a revelation, like an
inspiration. That comes and people think they got a revelation. We will
describe later.
One is ilham Rabbani and one is waswaas. We have to be very careful of that in your heart.
Shaytan
says, no problem you have time to repent. You do that now and you are
safe. And the person believes that and goes and falls into the trap of
shaytan.
So it is two kinds.
One of them comes perfect inspiration and the other comes as corrupt inspiration
The one that is correct is divided into 2 categories.
Ilahi Rabbani is first.
Ilahi is godship, from Allah and Rabbani from his Rububiyya.
Rububiyya
is everything that raises you up, that which concerns education,
heavenly knowledge, secrets and whatever educates and gives you
knowledge. wa alamnahu min ladunna ilma.
Alladhee
indahu ilmin min al-kita... eh said I will get that in the blink of an
eye. That is knowledge that is revealed to the heart directly and is
connect to ma'rifah.
The other is Maliki rûhânî.
Maliki is everything under the kingship of Allah's kingship and ownership.
As
we described earlier, Maliki-naas. Everything you are submitting to in
the level of annihilation. That mean everything that takes you to
obedience and good actions thru your life.
That first one takes you to levels of sainthood, to see things that cannot be seen an hear what cannot be heard.
The second is what takes you to obedience and worship.
The Corrupt Inspiration. The first is nafsani. [ Makes you to leave the Groups of Dhikr and Good deeds ]
Hajizan shaitani. That is not inspiration but a waswaas.
Hajjis
is an evil whisper in the heart of human being. You cannot call it an
inspiration. For shaytan it is an evil whisper in the heart.
This calls you to disobedience and is called the whisperer.
And what shaytan is calling for is for 6 different levels as stated in ruh al-bayan:
to take you to kufr [ Kufr is to know something to be True but you deny it for your ego benefit] and shirk.
To
make you to be a kaafir and unbeliever, and associating with Allah.
Wa mu`adhat Allah wa rasulih. To be against Allah and the Prophet
(s).
It might be doubts came, why you have to believe in Allah.
Or why you have to listen to the Prophet (s).
That
is called shak, doubt in Allah and his Prophet (s). If he achieved that
from you he will feel happy. He will feel satisfied. That is the
highest level he thinks he can take from a human being.
If he is not able to get that, then he goes to 2nd choice he has.
That
is to throw you in innovation, bida`. And Iblees loves bida` more than
ma`siyyah. Because disobedience you might repent from.
But
bida` you never know it is wrong you keep following. So the 2nd level
that Iblees tries to motivate is to do bida`. And never that servant
will repent from it because he does not know.
And the 3rd level it to take the servant to al-kabair with all its different categories.
He takes you to do the forbidden.
If
he was not able to do that he takes you to as-sagha'ir to keep you
under his control. So you thinking these sagha'ir are very small, little
by little he pulls you to hellfire.
If he cannot succeed in this, then he takes you to speaking about this and about that, ma la yanee.
Speaking like on the plane, you go on the plane and hear people telling others their whole life.
Better
to take your beads and do dhikrullah. If shaytan has no way to take you
to sin, he at least takes you to wasting your time, where there is no
reward and no punishment. The punishment is that you are losing the time
to get rewards by making remembrance of Allah.
If he was unable to do that then he goes to the 6th level:
waswaas - something that is good. Mahwus. Makes him so doubtful, even if something is good. Like someone who wants to make wudu.
You wash your hand, o I didn't wash it very well, then again.
Then you repeat nawaytu fara'id al-wud`u.
Then you start over. Then you go to your face. O I didn't do it right.
So it take one hour to make wudu. That is a very well known issue between Muslims. Even showers the same.
Even
when you want to go into prayer, saying Allahu akbar. How many times I
see people Allah, Allahu Allahu akbar. O start again. The imam is about
to go into Ruku and you are making takbir.
And
you see some people who are behind the imam, and they are burping. If
they ate onion and garlic then everyone is smelling onion and garlic.
And they think it is sunnah and do it more.
That is hawas. When mentally you are beyond understanding. That is coming from shaytan. Min sharril waswaasil khannaas.
In the last section we have explained about min sharril-waswaasil-khanaas.
From the evil of the whisperer who is whispering in the heart and we
explained the different levels of the revelation: that it is heavenly
revelation, lordly revelation or spiritual kingship revelation or we
spoke of the corrupted satanic whispering, and we explained the 6 diff.
Levels.
We will continue on that:
Shaytan
tries his best to make people busy by whispering in their ears, and the
Prophet (s) said, ta`wadu min waswasatil-wudu. Seek refuge in Allah
from the shaytan who whispers in the heart about wudu.
As we mentioned there are people who take wudu and they repeat and repeat because they think that wudu Is not perfect.
And that shaytan is called khanzab,
that shaytan with that name is trying to come and possess and take over
the worshipper when he is worshiping Allah or when he is reciting
Qur'an.
It is said the origin of waswaas is coming from 10 diff. Chars.
awwalahu al-His. The
first is when you are very very careful, to be perfect and no one can
be perfect except Sayyidina Muhammad, and you try to be very perfect and
that is an ego problem, because your ego wants to be arrogant and to
show off that you are the highest, that we say you are very careful,
harees or how you are implementing things.
That creates a lot of problem between wives and husbands, brothers and brothers, and between different people.
I know some people they come to the wife and they say o there is dust
here. Or they see the floor after mopping and say o there is something
there. Vice versa there are women who are too perfect in their life and other people are not used to that.
To
break that hars, to break that perfectionism is to take tawakul-ala
Allah. You do your best and leave it. That Allah will support you and
take care of it and qana`a, to be satisfied of what we are doing. What
is qana` in English, to have satisfaction in everything. If you see
something dirty on the floor you do it.
Don't
try to wake your wife in idle of night to cook for you. You do for
yourself. You don't have hands. There are people their wives are working
evening to do very hard and they wake them to do work more.
Allah
gave you power to work as well. Wives also, especially in this century
they like to dominate their husbands. This is satanic power. They like
to order their husbands. They are called when ever I go as minister of
interior. They are responsible for everything in the life of the
husband. They want to be over his head. That is a sickness in wives and a
sickness in women. They want to dominate and show their power. That is
the way to overcome hars, by showing tawakul and aqana.
the second is that shaytan is giving you hope for your dunya.
He says, how are you going to do for your future. He does not give for
Akhira. If he did that it would be good, but he only tells you to be
careful of dunya.
the way to overcome that is that there might surprisingly death
overtake me and you must tell yourself, your ego or the evil whisperer,
as we are explaining surat an-naas. That is something at the end of
Qur'an to tell you to learn and this is summary of everything. You don't
know at any moment that say. Azraeel come at any moment and take your
soul. That is why the Prophet (s) between sunnah of Fajr and Fajr, he
used to lie down on right side and to remember death. And it is sunnah
to remember death 3 times a day. And when we remember death we say minhu
khalaqakum, wa... to remember that one day, one after one, we are going
to go into that grave. That will completely break the hope in your
heat. Today people have hope in everything. They don't think that Allah
is ar-razzaq. They don't think they came naked form your mothers womb
and Allah took care of you and provided you.
at-tamatum bi-... 3rd is to entertain yourself with the desires and pleasures of this dunya.
Shaytan whispers in the ear of every person how he has to attain the
highest level of worldly desires. And Allah is saying to seek refuge in
us fro the whispering of bad desires. How to stop these bad desires.
Bi-zawaal an-ni`am. One day if I run after dunya Allah might take everything from and leave me with nothing. That
is why you see many people, that Allah gave people much wealth they
have cars, limos, yatchs, bank accts, homes all kinds of dunya wealth
and they forgot their lord. They kept running after the desire of the
world. And after a while they come bankrupted.
They fall in to that category. All of us are falling into that category.
how to avoid that: say to your ego, might be Allah will take my wealth from me. Not to spend in worldly desires
he will whisper in your ear jealousy. Jealousy to be jealous. People
today are jealous of each other. Brother from brother, sister from
sister. Husband from wife and wife from husband. Why you work, I want to
work. Why you drive I don't drive. Why you have this, I don't have it.
Brother to brother and showing enmity to each other and yet they are
poor. People that Allah made important, the other looks and says why is
he important, why did Allah give him respect. Or her. They begin to be
jealous of each other and begin attacking each other. They are refusing
the nimat that Allah gave us, to be from ummat an-nabi. To live in a
nice and happy life, still we are jealous of others. If Allah gave you
everything, home, car children, and still you are jealous of someone who
has nothing and you see him with something, not worth anything but you
see it and want it, nothing makes the eyes not to be greedy except dirt,
when they bury you.
men and women. Men are jealous form women women from women. Why that
one knows something and I don't know it. Or men. Why he is doctor and I
am not. Allah made him doctor and me a carpenter.
how to break hasad. Cut hasad in half by looking at everything as
justice form Allah. That Allah balanced everything. He gave that one
something and gave that to another. He did not give everything to any
one person, except to Sayyidina Muhammad. He made you important in one
aspect and the other in that aspect. Man or woman. Don't be jealous of
each other. Nothing destroys the ummah except jealous. Write jealousy
100 times. We have to learn. Bismillah ir-rahman Qul Audhu
bi-rabbin-naas. Because he throws jealous in each other. We make a house
like a burning house, from the jealousy that man is doing in his work
or the women is doing at work. The wife says, whom you spoke with at
work, who you met at wok. Which girl you met at work.
and
the husband says to wife if he is not working: which man you met, which
one you ate with at cafeteria. Both are fighting with each other form
what shaytan is whispering in his ears.
Always Complaining oh you are in difficulties.
What your prayer brought you. What Islam brought. Go out and be like
others. Go to drink, to disco, to entertain yourself. How are you going
to break it ?To thank Allah for his favor. To see that Allah by his
favors he built you up. All these favors, good eyes, ears and health. So
why you come against Allah and his obligations, running after
entertainment and good life.
so
to break that, remember what he gave of good life, good health, of good
wife, of provision. That problem is called affliction.
6 is kibr. It is arrogance.
Arrogance is the 6th origin of the evil whisperer. He whispers in the
heart of people to be arrogant. It means you don't accept anyone except
yourself. It might be you are nothing an you think you are the best.
I will give an example, but it might not be its place, but i will give
it. Every year they make miss universe, they say most beautiful . This
year they made most ugliest. To be fair. Arrogance. In the heart of
people. It is ok, you are ugly or beautiful, you are Allah's creation,
people must respect. Allah engrave you I that picture. So kibr,
arrogance is a problem.
like this is the house of Allah, it is an honor for us to clean the
restrooms, it is the house of Allah. What is the problem? But if you are
an important person, you say "I want to clean the restroom?" this is
Allah's house, Allah does not need restroom that is your restroom. That
is: I am president, I am king, I am academia, I am doctor, I am prof.
Look people when they write their name they write, PhD or doctor.
I never saw in Arabic history that any imam or Shaykh in the tradition
wrote after his name PhD or doctor. Go to any library and look at
Islamic manuscript. Look at this book. Ad-durr al-manthur , li imam
as-suyuti what did he write. Abdru rahman ibn... as-syuuti. He didn't
write doctor.
Make yourself important. If someone is To look after sheep. He thinks
he is controlling the world. If someone is looking after the chicken
coop he thinks himself wants to control everything. As a charity we
collect food form people, bread or food, or sweets from diff. Shops to
distribute. And even that person who brings them and leaves them here In
the mosque, he begins to make conspiracy who he wants to give and who
he doesn't want to give.
to kill it by humbleness. Sayyidina Muhammad, the seal of messengers,
the perfect creation. He was the most humble, Allah gave him everything.
Iblis who was worshipping in heavens, Allah cursed him and threw him
out.
from
whispering of shaytan, to doubt lightly about the respect or sanctity
of believers. Istifaf al-mumineen. To bring down the sanctity of mumin.
Instead
of saying you are my Muslim brother. Instead to say you are my brother,
your face is shining, you are shining like a wali. I am not thinking
low of my brother but praising him.
in the time of the Prophet (s) there was a man, the Prophet (s) said,
this man is not going to enter paradise because of his amal. What was he
doing. He sit with his friends in the street, in the alleys still you
have them in middle east countries, where people sit on street and
others are passing and going. He used to pray the five prayers, but when
free, sitting with friends, say, masha-Allah you are the best the
greatest, I love you. When that person is happy feeling nice, o that big
wealthy man respected me. Then he goes. After he goes that one says,
this is the worst of people, the ugliest of people, the garbage. That
char. Allah does not like. Istifaf bi huquq al-mumineen.
how to eliminate that.
Faqsirhu
bi tameemihim wa ta`mihim. By respecting them to their face and to
their back. If anyone asks you about a person, say he is very good. Even
if he is bad. Whatever he is. We are speaking about something to cut
the whisper of shaytan in your heart. Else shaytan will keep
whispering and make your life miserable. You might have a problem with
someone, and he does someone bad to you. If someone did that, avoid him
and avoid his backbiting. Back up from him, as you did. You have a Haqq
on that person. You can demand that from him. but don't make it general
for all people .you don't like someone you criticize him, you don't like
the way he walks, you mock him. keep the level of respect for mumins.
How to do that by respecting and honoring them.
love of dunya and its praise. You must drop the love of dunya from your
heart. Praise and run after dunya, day and night running, not
remembering Akhira, not caring about Akhira, that is one of the satanic
whispers.
Like
after breaking fast, shaytan whispers, now you are tired, you feel
sleepy, why you want to go to the mosque to pray 20 rak'ats. The mosque is far.
That is first, tries to pull from jamat.
Then
next day, the prophet used to pray 8 rak'ats. In many countries they
pray 8 rakats. Just pray 8 rakats. Then you listen. Another time he put
you at home. Then another time. Now you are tired. Go and sleep. You
pray Isha when you wake up. You say I have time, I can delay to 12, 1.
you go to sleep. Shaytan makes you sleep until Fajr. Not even sahoor.
sahoor is another story. You want to be like awkward people. Eat and
drink at 12 and go to bed you don't wake up. There are people who eat
and drink and then go to sleep miss Fajr. They miss Fajr, wake up 8
o'clock. Shaytan is playing. Hubb ad-dunya. When you are so involved in
dunya, shaytan will not let you to go, pulling your leg. How to break
it?
By Ihklas , sincerity. If you are sincere, you cannot beak the orders
of that commander. If you love someone you do what they are asking you
to do. What do you think of the creator of love. This whole dunya is a
drop of Allah's love. That ocean is in Allah's hands. If Allah ordered
you something and you are sincere, you will near break it. Iblees was
not sincere, he was ordered and disobeyed. Prophet (s) was sincere, he
said Samina wa Atana. Believers. Ummah obedient to prophet. Ati Allah wa
ati ar-Rasul.
so to break that whispering of shaytan, hubb ad-dunya, coming to pray
or making it in time. When you are sincere, Allah opens to you.
9th source of that whispering is talab al-uluw war-rifa`.
Always you demand to be on the highest level. To be the top. You cannot
accept to be the lowest. You want to be top. Not speaking of dunya
work. We are speaking of religious work. People have no satisfaction of
what Allah gave them. Seeking highness and exaltation. Saying: people
like to sit on top, even on a stick. Even if they are sitting top of
stick and feeling pain, still they like it they don't care. And all
these leaders of today all their chairs are sticks. They don't know
where the pain is coming to them. Wait to see what Allah will do to
them. Those who are not concerned with human rights. Those leaders who
are destroying human right. They don't care but their chair and their
children and their desires. There are many around the world. That is a
big problem. Talab al-uluw. Sitting on top. You know these fro one place
ot another you see these very high beams, high tension. The wireless
ones are very high, with a tall antenna on top, they like to sit even on
that, even they have electricity going in them, they are still happy,
they are high. They become high in their minds, Allah knows what they
are smoking or smelling. And they are high in their pain. Might be 100s
of bodyguards have to walk with them to keep them safe. When you are
with Allah, you don't need bodyguard. Walking in the streets with
everyone.
Allah saved them. Saved Sahaba. Leaders need hundreds of safety around
them. How to break that. Break it thru khushu wa dhil lah. Break it with
by feeling ya rabbi, no one is high except you, no one is great except
you, no one is merciful except you. To see yourself nothing empty of
everything. The only one who has everything is Allah. And whatever he
gives his servants it is accepted. To break that mentality of living
high, being high, break it by knowing you are nothing in front of Allah.
On judgment day you come before Allah. Who does one atom of good will
see good. Who does one atom of bad will see bad.
10 manna` wal-buklh.
To forbid anyone from getting something and from greediness. Everyone
is greedy and everyone likes to have everything to himself. Not to give
to anyone else. To stop it one must be generous and opening your hands,
giving everything. Don't hold it in your hand like that.
Like Sayyidina abu Bakr as-Siddiq, Sayyidina Umar, Sayyidina Uthman and
sayydina Ali. There are people who when you ask them to give, they hold
like that [ tight fisted]. And when anything squeezes out, they lick
it. They cannot let anything out. To break that open your hand, Allah
sends more. As much as you open Allah sends more.
We reached the explanation of min sharril waswaasil-khanaas
We explained how the evil whispering comes to the ear of mumins.
Allah is describing him as al-khannaas. Al-khannaas is the one who
tries to do something and then runs away. In the English translation it
says who withdraws from the whispering in the heart after he remembers
Allah.
He
whispers and then runs away form his whispering when the servant of
Allah remembers the dhikr of Allah in his heart. They say that people
today, in their spiritual ascending, say that we need to make
meditation.
That
means they want to concentrate the highest level of meditation is to
look closely at what Allah likes and loves, reaching the main goal, that
is Allah you are my main goal and your pleasure is my main thing \i
seek.
So
people today try to think in mediation and concentrate their thoughts.
And how many people are focusing not thru the right way and right
channel, shaytan might whisper in their hearts and they believe that
whispering because they are not able to remember Allah swt.
Because
they are worshipers of other than Allah. Therefore those who worship
different gods, that they put for themselves those that associate with
Allah, that meditation is not reaching what they are seeking. They are
not reaching except to what shaytan is whispering to them. Shaytan does
not run from you if you aren't remembering Allah and shaytan does not
run unless you have wudu.
Silah al-mumin al-wudu. The weapon that saves the believer from enemy is ablution.That means whatever whisper is coming to you in meditation is shaytan.
The khannaas is the one who runs away when you remember Allah. That is
why the Prophet (s), Allah revealed to him that surah, for people to
take precautions. It means whatever i have revealed to you in holy
Qur'an, ya Muhammad, you have to take precaution.
As
soon as the light of remembering Allah enters the heart, shaytan runs
away. That is why Allah said, neither heavens nor earth contained me but
the heart of my believing servant ...
That
means when you remember me, that secret of lordship and kingship and
godship will manifest in the heart of the believer. When that light of
the divine presence manifests where will shaytan stay.? He will run
away.
For
that heavenly secret coming from lordship, from kingship, from ilahi
naas, from heavenly or ilahi manifestation of these 3 different levels,
when it manifests in the heart of the believer, it turns him into a
glowing light, like the verse nurun min nuri Allah and Allahu nur
as-samawati wal-ard. Then he will be walking on earth like âyat ullah, a
sign from Allah's signs.
That is why there is a sign that is very important to us.
There was a sign or place that was appearing on the Prophet s (s) body. The alaamat an-nubuwwah. 
That was between his shoulder blades. That salman al-Farsi was looking for it, on his back.
This one - [show s a talisman].
So
that is the sign of prophecy, Khatim an-nubuwwah. Seal of prophecy.
They only Prophet (s) who was sealed, Muhammadun rasulullah walladheena
ma ashidaau ala al-kufaaru. that is protection from shaytan.
Where does shaytan enter the human being.
From behind the two shoulders. [ Very Popular location of Tatoos]
For that reason Jibreel advised him to do hijjama, cupping.
That is in order to make sure that where shaytan goes thru in the
blood, he goes thru there, penetrating the whole blood system and brings
with him all that fasid blood, contaminated, dead blood. he makes the
blood dead.
The
Prophet (s) ordered hijjama in order to remove that dead blood and to
rejuvenate the blood in the human system in order to cure them of their
physical and spiritual problems.
Prophet (s) said, Allah helped in order that I was able to overcome my
shaytan, by means of the heavenly ilahi seal that he gave me on my
back..
One of the Awliya said, o Allah show me how shaytan comes and whisper as you described in that surah and how he runs away.
Allah showed him the form of a human being and between his shoulders, a black spot,
like a nest or like a place where a bird lives.
And shaytan, he saw that shaytan coming thru that spot on the human form and entering inside.
He was feeling the entire area and then he entered there in the form of a pig with a huge trunk.
Before entering, he
put his trunk in, and in order with his trunk he will blow. So like
elephants, use the trunk to blow, he uses his trunk to blow into the
heart of that human being.
Immediately that form of the wali began to make dhikr, and as soon as he did that, naqasa ala aqibayh. Turned and ran. So shaytan enters from the back.
He doesn't dare to come in front.
he comes silently. He moves during the night, not during the day.
He
moves to get you when you are heedless, not when you are worshipping.
When you are heedless he enters. Be careful of heedless moments.
You don't know when shaytan will enter thru these heedless moments.
Sayydina
adam, was not able, like Sayyidina Muhammad to make his Qareen, the
companion, was not able to control the whispering of shaytan, so he
entered his ears, whispered in his heart and made him to eat from that
tree.
That
is ordinary explanation of that, but Awliya say, Sayyidina adam Is a
Prophet (s). Allah's will was to get human beings on earth. So it was in
fact all the progeny of adam in his back that caused him to move and to
take from that tree.
So shaytan was able to whisper in the heart of adam but never to whisper in the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad.
Inheritors of the Prophet (s) also have the seal and Grandshaykh had the seal of the Prophet (s)'s hand on his back.
That Is the power that was given to Grandshaykh and is carried by Mawlana Shaykh Nazim now.
So shaytan has no form.
He is created from fire but he is a not like angels, subtle,
but he has a transparent form and can enter anywhere, especially in the body of a human being.
That wall if you throw something it cannot go thru.
But shaytan can go thru.
That is why shaytan is like a wavelength{ Digital-Dajal}
A wavelength can go thru that wall.
Allah gave him the characteristic to move.
And his fire will not burn.
When he was sent down from heaven, his fire was mixed with earthly life.
That is why he is able to enter without burning you physically but he will burn you spiritually. {But will cause you to pass gas}
Allah mixed the fire with air , and he became a combination of fire and
air. He is a special combination of two elements, in the same way that
human being is composed of 4 elements: fire air clay water.
Clay and water have physical appearance.
Gas and air do not so no physical appearance.
That is why human beings has a physical appearance.
So Allah said min al-jinnati wan-naas.
That is why an-naas is mentioned here.
That means half of them are made of fire and air.
Because shaytan has two elements he can enter your body.
They can endanger you by whispering and giving wrong advices and taking you places that Allah does not like.
The whisperer form
effects on the human beings has two powers one is physical power that
you can feel and the other is imaginary power that he imagines things
and applies it to you.
Shaytan, the khannaas, that evil whisperer,
has the quwwah wahmiyya, meaning not imaginary, but doubtful and unclear issue that he will whisper it and make you confused.
That is why when you remember Allah, he takes all this away from you
and shaytan cannot reach you and even that man from humans, who tries to
deceive you cannot deceive you.
And in the last verse He said, Alladhee yuwaswisu fee sudoorinnaas.
He did not say in the heart of mankind, he said in the breast or the chest and this has a meaning also.
[Remember Allah in the Jammah especially if from the Jammah may be from the Rijal Allah the Men of Allah.]
When
you become heedless from Allah's remembrance then shaytan can reach
that area. As it is explained in English, it says, "who whispers in the
breasts of mankind." It means the one that is forgetting dhikrullah in
the heart, in the secret (because in the heart is a secret) and in the
soul. You forget Allah's remembrance in different levels: heart, secret
and soul. Qalb, Sirr, ruh.
In the Sirr, that Allah put secrets of Awliya and in the soul.
Allah did not say in the heart of men,
but he said in the breast of men, that chest is the square of where the heart resides.
It is like the Divine courtyard or square of the city.
He is able to penetrate into that courtyard. Now that is like a
satellite dish receiving all kinds of information, and when he
penetrates thru your back, he begins to send all kinds of information
and that begins to reach the heart.
All that accumulates in the breast and then slowly it will begin to go
to the tunnel of the heart and from it all kinds of will and orders come
out.
As soon as it reaches the heart, it begins to issue commands.
That is because the heart is the central control.
If the heart is dead you are dead.
If you are in coma, but heart is pumping, you are still alive.
No o2 coming to brain, but as long as heart pumping, you are alive.
The main focus is to keep the heart living. If the heart is living it
can rejuvenate back the brain that was damaged. It can rejuvenate back
and throw out shaytan from the breast, from the courtyard of the heart.
So
look at the knots, the eleven knots that the black magician was trying
to make magic on the Prophet (s), and Allah revealed surat al-Falaq, to
open knot after knot and as he was blowing, one by one the knots were
opening.
Do you remember in a different association, we were discussing different kinds of string.
Was-samai dhat il-hubuk. We said there are 3 dimensions and then 4
dimension. Then we discovered that there are 11 strings that they were
able to count.
Awliya'ullah when they recite surat al-Falaq with its secrets, with all
its heavenly manifestations they will be able to open the eleven knots
of this universes dimensions and it opens for them.
Then they will be freed from their cages and they will be able to go thru the universe.
Those 11 knots are those which connect these
11 strings that connect these parts of the universe.
Or 6 Point on the Chest and 5 Levels .
5
levels of the heart and 6 levels of the breast will open thru this
surah. You will be able to open these knots and decode these 11 point in
order to open for you in the heart these characteristics.
La ilaha illa-Allah, 5- Alif , 5-Lam. And 2 hah's.
All
the Alifs and lams are describing the points that have to be opened
thru different knots and the last of the 11 is the hah which describes
the prophet as the hidden treasure and one hah is the divine presence.,
al huwiyya al-mutlaq.
These
winds and orders as they begin to accumulate in the breast come and go
thru the heart and are distributed on the army of shaytan.
As
soon as they are distributed on the army of shaytan shaytan beings to
whisper in the heart with no voice. The only thing that makes him to run
away is to remember Allah swt.
So from this we know that the seekers of the journey, those ascending thru their hearts, find that there are 5 leaders or princes. 5 Levels of The Heart
Adam - Noah -Ibrahim/Musa -Jesus -Muhammad
Gabriel - Mikhael-Israel -Israfil -Malik
Sayed -Sahib -Sidiq - Rasul -Allah
So
for that heart there are 5 different leaders that are angelic but of
earthly power, connected with al-hawwaas: 5 senses: Hearing, Seeing,
Touch, Smell Taste
And also it has another 5 different heavenly angelic powers which are called souls or spirits:
animal soul,
imaginary soul;
thoughtful soul;
mental/mindly soul
and holy soul.
Wuquf al Qalbi
Those
leaders in the heart, the heart begins to respond to them, the way that
everything that is whispered into the heart, the heart begins to
respond. If it is responding in a good way, the vision becomes a real
vision.
The hearing becomes a real one, not a fake one, not a fuzzy one.
You can see what people cannot see and
hear what people cannot hear,
smell what people cannot smell,
sense what people cannot sense,
and taste what others cannot taste.
If they are not functioning the right way, then they are functioning according to what shaytan's directions. Then you are short sided.
Then you are not hearing inspiration.
Smelling worldly smell, tasting worldly taste
and all things are earthly instead of heavenly.
In
Qudsi Hadith., as long as my servant approaches me thru voluntary
worship, then I will love him.... His Hearing Seeing Touch Feet Hands
Mouth to Speak with.
That
must be your goal, the goal of every Person and every believer, the
goal of every person on earth is to reach Allah divine presence.
The other five of these heavenly leaders are
Animal soul combination of body and soul will be affected by animality of body. That is called ar-ruh al-hayawaani.
In reality if you can separate it with dhikrullah that animality will
disappear. For Allah said, Subhan Alladhee asra bi abdihi min al-masjid.
In masjid al-haram, no sins are allowed there, it is restricted. The
ruh al-hayawaani, is a masjid for you that is the dwelling place of the
soul. You cannot turn it into a disco. You have to keep it a sacred
place a holy place. You cannot turn it into a entertainment place by
throwing Halaal away and binging Haraam inside yourself.
At that time ar-ruh al-khayaali, the imaginal soul,
you will imagine in your journey. Why do people have hope in their
journey. At first they have a hope form the mirage they are
experiencing. That is something to give you hope. That is imagination
that there is a fountain of youth there. You run for it and you find it
is not there, then you see another and you run for it.
Then you reach the level of ruh al-fikree.
Then
you realize that is in fact a mirage and at that time you begin to
realize that what you saw was imaginary and now you need to search for
the truth. Like Hollywood, they show you things but it is imaginary.
They show you transformation. The Awliya can do it. Telepathy, they can
do that. You see it in movies but it is real. So you see there is water,
and you find no water, then you see water ahead and you try more, and
finally you begin to think. You begin to reason. You use the mind: this
is correct, this is not.
Then you have to take everything out of the mind and they give you the ruh al-qudsee - the holy spirit. Wa allamnaahu min ladduni ilma.
You will inherit from that heavenly knowledge that prophet is taking from Jibreel and taking, dressing the ummah.
At that time you will be able to understand that kind of knowledge that
Allah wants his servant to find. So when Allah's will, for these
different levels of souls penetrates into one's heart, in the mirror of that heart, that person becomes dressed with heavenly power and a saint, a wali of Awliya'ullah.
And
nothing will be able to change him, even from ins {humans} or from
jinn. That is why the last verse says, min al-jinnati wan-naas. No one at that time can whisper in his breast, neither from ins shaytan nor from jinn, real shaytan.
As
we described shaytan of jinn will run from dhikrullah. Also there are
shaytan al-ins who will show you things that are wrong. He will show his
emotion an love, and he will try to tell you something. If someone
comes to backbite another throw him. so many people come to you and say
we have gossips to tell you, I heard this. You must not listen, that is a
weakness. Throw that away and do not listen to that, that way you avoid
listening to shaytan of human beings.
So
from jinn, jinn know because they go and listen. They are able to steal
the hearing. So they go to the highest level they can reach in this
universe and they listen to what is going on in the heaven. They are
able to receive the wavelengths of the angelic spiritual sounds.
Thus they know some of the unseen for us, which is known for them. But
all of it is in the restriction of earth. so thru this they are able to
affect human beings life.
Shaytan form human side are like psychic.
People
go and ask such people and they lie and misled them. Prophet (s) said,
the psychics are liars, even if they tell the truth. He wants you not to
be attracted to them.
As
we said before Allah began the holy Qur'an by Bismillah and ended it
with surat an-nass. He began it with Allah and ended with human being.
That is a sign, that the human is the last one who has been sent of
creation, after human beings judgment day comes and all is finished. So
first creation of light of sayydina Muhammad then ending up at the end
with human being on earth. [first created last sent]
The
first of heavenly levels is life and the last of it is the words. That
is why Allah said, that I blow in him from my order. Nafakhta feehi min
ruhee. Some say soul but some say order to live. He sent him that life
to appear.
So
the best of the word of Allah, and Allah began it with the word that
Allah gave to human being, that word that gives you life is Bismillah,
that keeps you living, and keeps you rejuvenated is Bismillah and that
entered into what? Into adam the human being. That is why the beginning
of Qur'an is Allah and the ending is an-naas.
