“A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.”
“Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.” And always a reminder for
myself ana abdukal 'ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, and but for
the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are still in existence. Alhamdulillah
for all the khidmat (service). That alhamdulillah everyone putting out nice AI videos, images,
and cutting up the longer videos, putting out reels. InshaAllah Allah (AJ)... Also,
people translating to Spanish, to other languages. Allah (AJ) give everybody immense
blessings and himmah (zeal) to do more. Our food collection, mashAllah, immense amounts of food
being collected. Our video productions, in-house productions, the zikrs (Divine remembrance), the
majlis (association), the center. Alhamdulillah for everyone's life of service and their immense
love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ shows by the khidmat and the service. InshaAllah,
the food distributions, the orphanage support, the qurbani (sacrifice) programs,
the water well programs, and distributing food in Kenya. Hopefully now in Nigeria there's
a Naqshbandi out there that will start putting out food and qurbans. In Pakistan and Vancouver,
Los Angeles, Chicago. So, alhamdulillah, everywhere, wherever we can go and wherever
there's students whom are willing to participate. All it takes is a… somebody with a bit of himmah
or zeal within their heart to want to serve, want to participate, and the rest Allah (AJ) opens. We
pray that Allah (AJ) inspire their hearts to send us more people who want to participate
and have the zeal - the himmah in which to participate and receive the nazar (gaze) of
Prophet ﷺ and alhamdulillah, inshaAllah. Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa
wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha. Ya shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem
(The Most Generous Messenger). Ameen! InshaAllah, what we have from last
week? InshaAllah we'll go over some of the things we have from last week. Anybody... comments from
the talks, we can get where people are on these, inshaAllah, so we don't have to keep opening
new subjects and we can go over some of the subjects that we've talked about, inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
And please, everybody, do go to the Muhammadan Way website and keep playing with the AI. Keep asking
the AI the questions and ‘what is the awrad’ (daily awrad), ‘what is Naqshbandiya,’ ‘what is
the muraqabah’ (spiritual connection). Whatever you think you want to ask, ask the AI. If the
answer was good, give thumbs up. If the answer was you think off and missing some essential facts,
put the thumb down so that they can monitor and begin to tweak the AI because this is all custom
and in-house for us. It'll go off of ChatGPT and we'll be running on our own servers. So,
the more input we have, then the more the guys who are monitoring can understand where the answer is,
how to tweak it, and how to make it more appropriate or if something was inappropriate,
inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) bless everyone and dress everyone and try your best
to use it and spread for people to use it because it's truly amazing. Pretty soon,
it'll be answering the emails and correspondence, everything because it gives a much better reply
because it has also the AI for English, letter writing, it has a very eloquent skill of
putting knowledges into an information back to somebody. So, alhamdulillah, very good. Sorry,
what was the question? As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi.
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Could you please expand on the strong-tied
analogy you used that could possibly take a student away or cause difficulties on
their path? Also, the benefits of learning how to swim spiritually and physically.
How to increase your tie to the shaykh? That's what we asked the AI, and I posted the reply.
That, ‘How can I serve the Shaykh better?’ Go to Nurmuhammad, go to our AI, and say,
‘How can I best serve the Shaykh?’ And then you’ll get a wonderful reply, that better than
how we would reply, and the English skills from our people, but it comprise it very nicely in
paragraphs. That ‘Do like this, do like this, do like this’. And I encourage people to go to the AI
and actually ask that ‘how to increase the ties,’ and it listed that everything that we've talked
about is that do all of the services and practices that the shaykh has asked. So I don't really think
if somebody is truly, truly doing what has been taught that they would have any doubt of their
connection and the strength of their connection. But it's when we leave things, and we truly don't
listen because we have ears but it's sometimes difficult for people to hear, and it's important
to go back to everything that's been taught. That we do the charity. Why? So that our hearts
are open and that we have a charitable, humble character. We live a life of service, wanting to
serve others and improve the conditions of others while we want to improve our own conditions. Then
we do our meditation, our muraqabah, all our practices that the shaykh has asked. Why? So
that we have our spiritual connection. So, body, mind, and soul must be connected to the way. So
how do you connect the body and it has reference to parts of the soul – Is by your charitable acts.
How do you tame the physical body? By putting your time into it, putting your effort into practices,
going out and doing charities. Although it dresses the soul, but it has a very strong discipline upon
the physicality. When you've committed yourself and charity is like a tuition into a Divinely
university. If you were the one paying your tuitions, not your dad, and you pay your tuition,
you pay your tuition, the likelihood of you showing up to your classes is very high. When
someone else pays your tuition, you don't really care about the classes because you didn't pay
for them. You didn't have anything in it to be worried about. If you worked and from that work
you paid for your courses, you're the first one to show up in the class. There's no difference
in Allah's (AJ) way. That when we have some skin in the game, when we have our own participation
in the game, when we do our charity, we do our service. Oh, you know how many times we went out
and fed, and how many times we did this and how many times we did that. You're tied into that
system. You're not likely to bounce around and bounce out of it unless you're willing to restart
that whole system somewhere else. And most people after a few years of serving and giving and doing,
that's it, you know, they put the nail on their… on the rope, and they're tied to the shaykh,
tied to the way, tied to the tariqah (spiritual path), and that's what we're trying to do is teach
people: tie yourself to the tariqah, tie yourself to the love of Prophet ﷺ. How? By following the
tariqahs. You can't say, ‘I'm just going to follow and love the Prophet by myself ﷺ.’ Very
difficult. The overwhelming tide of people do not talk like that nor think like that. So you start
to try to watch other people's TikToks, social medias, and YouTubes, and the last thing they talk
about is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They even, even give reference to Hadith and Qur'an and they lie,
and it wasn't true. And you go back and say, ‘This is not true at all.’ When someone said,
‘lower your gaze, and the gaze was only for the men to lower their gaze,’ it was a lie. The Qur'an
actually asked women ‘Lower their gaze,’ but that person who said that was lying. So they
don't even have a problem about lying of Qur'an and Hadith because they'll reference everything
according to themself and their understandings. So tariqah is a path to the heart of Prophet
ﷺ. So to keep on the tariqah, keep on the way, support the tariqah, support the way,
support your relationship with the shaykh it ties you to the reality. It doesn't tie
the shaykh because the shaykh is already tied to Prophet ﷺ and to his shaykhs because that's what
he did all his life. So you're not untying the shaykh if you don't support, and you're going to
make them to lose their mission. No, no, Allah (AJ) will exchange people for better people,
so the mission's never lost. It's mission impossible. It's always in the heart of Prophet ﷺ,
but Allah (AJ) will exchange us for a better person. If I don't do what Allah (AJ) asked of me,
no problem, one better will come and do a better job of what I should have been doing. So the life
is of service. So all of these bind the student. Then, if they're truly binded and they’re truly
bound, then you think that they would sit and make their muraqabah, make their connection.
They paid for it with their blood, their sweat, and their tears. So why aren't they trying to get
their treasures? So that's the key to tariqah. If we don't do any of that and we just want to know,
like, ‘How can I increase my connection’, it's not going to be fast. But I recommend
people to use the AI at the website. And alhamdulillah, very eloquent responses and
very thorough, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi.
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is
the Catalyst during tafakkur (contemplation). Does ghadab (anger) come as a catalyst when
we are heedless and not staying in hudur (presence) of our shaykhs?
Yeah, the... we have the fire of Nimrod. The talk about the fire, “Qulna ya naaru,
kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.” Then this is the story of Sayyidina
Ibrahim (as) being cast into a fire because everyone's going to follow the way
of the Prophets (as). So this is what the story and these qissah, these realities of the lives of
the Prophets (as) is that we have to walk through them. So when Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) comes to
us in this station, and when you study the levels of the heart, when he's coming into
the Qalb (heart), the Sir (secret), the Sirr e Sir (secret of the secret) Sayyidina Ibrahim
(as) wa Sayyidina Musa (as) and opening the realities of the kingdom of light, he's coming
and teaching that: you have to overcome fire. This fire that comes into your life,
you have to make it to be cool and peaceful. And in your abode, the whole dunya (material world) is
Nimrod. That's why we call the ‘Fir’aunic bloodline.’ They rule this Earth, and it's in
Qur'an that they rule the earth because these are the people of Nimrod. These are the people of the
Fir’auns (pharaohs), these are the descendants that rule the earth till today. And because of
their allegiance with shaitan (satan), their game is to make people angry and ignorant. That when we
described in other talks, ignorance—it amplifies anger. Wise people shouldn't be angry; ignorant
people are always angry. You see them ranting and raving on social media, yelling, screaming,
yelling, screaming, yelling, screaming, because they're ignorant. But wise people, they don't talk
like that, they don't even think like that. And as a result of these knowledges, their behaviors
are different, and the reality is different for them, inshaAllah. What were we talking about?
What was the question? [Shaykh laughs] Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is
the catalyst during tafakkur… The fire, the fire, yeah. That how
to control the fire from anger and then bring that fire once it's stable “Qulna ya naaru,
kunee Bardan wa Salaman” to be “bardan wa salaam” means the presence of Prophet ﷺ.
So with the salawats (praises upon Prophet ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ) and the Hudur an Nabi ﷺ – the
presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that fire comes under control and it becomes, and should become,
something cool and peaceful. When something's cool and peaceful, it means you have a control
over the fire. The fire becomes the zeal in which you want to operate; you want to conquer;
you want to go out and spread the word; you want to do the good deeds; you want Prophet ﷺ to be
happy with us. If it's not under control, it's like a volcano just trying to burn everybody,
and the zeal becomes anger, and the anger just becomes the scorching and hurting of people. So
this is an essential station on the Sirr e Sir on how to use the faculty of closeness, of hearing
and seeing to open up these realities of lights with the salawats and the light of Prophet ﷺ,
the presence of the Muhammadan fire and not satanic fire. The Muhammadan fire in which is a
blessed light, and that requires then the salawats so that you can draw near to the Muhammadan fire.
Without that, the fiery nature of people will be satanic, because everybody's going to have a fire;
it's an element within them. If you don't do the salawats, the fire becomes satanic,
and they do, you know... they can even be and say that they're spiritual, but they have a
strong satanic energy. And if they should get angry or something not the way they want it,
they explode, and that's when the wildness of their beast that we talked about. So yeah, that
fire is the love of Prophet ﷺ. The only way to take the light of TaSeen ﷺ is by the salawat and
durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), inshaAllah on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.
Is it ever possible for the actions of the form to alter the standing in the world of light,
or do our actions only reveal and unlock what we already have been given?
What's the difference in that? How do you know what you've been given and what you're altering,
because you don't know what you've been given? I would say it's the same. If I don't know what
Allah (AJ) is giving to me, all my concern should be, again because we're not philosophy
students here, all my concern in life should be is that my form has to submit and do the Will of
Allah (AJ) for His kingdom is in my heart, and I want to put His kingdom in my heart. Then,
my life is to submit. If I submit, I try to use my form for the hasanat (goodness) of
my dunya. So that I have the goodness of my life that I'll build and use my
life to build my akhirah (hereafter). I do good, I speak good, I act good,
and I should see good. What Allah (AJ) gives to me, it doesn't matter if it’s… was decreed for me,
newly decreed for me or anciently decreed for me. That doesn't matter because Allah (AJ) will give
what He wants to give. But the most important is to make my physicality to serve. The time I
have... “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin”. ‘And did
you think you would not be tested like those who came before you with your life,
your family, your property, your wealth, your...’ everything will be tested by Allah (AJ).
So, alhamdulillah, we put all of that so that we can reach our perfection, inshaAllah. And
there's not too much time left, so these days are immensely important and to learn the understanding
of service, khidmat and how to draw near to the shaykh, how to draw near to the Hudur e Shaykh and
the presence of the shaykhs, so that we can move closer to the presence of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum,
Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.
Sayyidi, regarding the levels of the heart, does the slave move from one level from the other in
the exact order, or does he move to specific levels according to his specific conditions?
No, it's just an opening at all time. It's not necessarily one, then the next, then the next.
It's a general opening of all realities, but one fully doesn't elevate until the
lower levels are understood and opened. And they can only be open by a strong
connection with the shaykh. It's the faiz (downpouring blessings) of the shaykh that
the connection opens those realities. For the Qalb to open, they have to have a very strong
connection with the shaykhs. It's the knowledge of this, Ilm ul Yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty)
so that they studied these subjects. Ayn ul Yaqeen (Vision of Certainty) means that they entered
into the subject with the eye of their heart and they're witnessing that light entering into their
heart. They witness the realities that the shaykh has read about, that wrote about, and they begin
to witness those realities so that it becomes Haqq ul Yaqeen (Certainty of Truth). So, they have to
open up the Qalb which is knowledge, they have to open up the Sir which is red, and the inner fight.
So, if you had and a strong inner fight, you must have a very strong connection with the shaykh
because you're willing to push off the demon that sits upon the heart and allow the shaykh to sit
upon the heart. So, that's why at the Sir is a big battle where Sayyidina Umar al-Farooq comes
to help ‘alayhis salaam that “Qul jaa alhaqq”. That if you're standing for truth, get rid of that
falsehood within you and around you. So, all of these are you know self-evident. We seek a path
towards knowledge is the Qalb, so that we become students of knowledge. So, your greatest weapon is
a pen, to write knowledges, understand knowledges. Those knowledges have to be written onto my book.
I'm not a spectator just hearing knowledges. I want to write the knowledges so I can transfer
them onto my kitab (book). Once they're on my kitab, I'm dressed with those knowledges.
Then I begin to close my eyes, meditate into these knowledges so they become a real and a
haq (truth) for me. As I'm being dressed by these knowledges, then now you are traversing
these oceans of light into these realities, into these oceans of realities. You'll be dressed with
the Sir, and then all the knowledges within the Sir begin to dress the servant. And from the Sir,
they go to the passing through the Akhfa (most hidden) and the realities of death until they can
enter into the world of light. Because if you study the diagram that from the Sir, you have
to pass through the black hole, the black Akhfa reality, which is death. Everything has to die,
for you to die to reach to the world of light - Alam al Mithal and the world of light and malakut
(heavenly realm). That's why everything in its key is based on tafakkur and how to contemplate,
how to connect with the contemplation. And as a result of contemplating, then you would understand
that your connection with the shaykh is extremely important and how to serve and a khidmat towards
the shaykh, inshaAllah. As
salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi, you had mentioned about smart contracts and that if you take even one letter from someone,
you owe your life. Now, what if a person is taking from five different shaykhs, what happens?
Five different shaykhs, you can’t take from five different shaykhs. So, they take knowledges but
they're not truly entering the contract with the knowledge. So it's a difference. Your…
And especially if they’re tariqah shaykhs, it’s very difficult to understand their knowledges,
make your connection and connect your heart and connect to their wallet and the conveyance of
their coin into your heart. It's like you playing on a website thinking you have a whole bunch of
Bitcoins. You don't have the coins; you may even have spam coins where somebody send something
to you thinking you got a Bitcoin. It's not that easy to get the shaykh’s coins. It means
you connected. When you sought the connection; you felt the faiz. When you felt the faiz, the
downloading poured into the heart. We've met many people in this luminous path of ours in 35 years,
people saying like ridiculously clowny statements that, ‘I hold five tariqahs.’ And they tell us,
‘You know, Naqshbandi I hold five tariqahs’. Say, ‘What kind of a clown is this? How could you talk
like that?’ You can't even hold the one tariqah; not even one tariqah can be held. Its amanat and
its trust; its responsibility of how it's holding mankind and their sicknesses kill the shaykhs,
you're talking about you holding five tariqahs? These are the times we live
in when ‘They take the religion as a jest’ Allah (AJ) talks about, like a ‘Playing.’
They say these ridiculous, playful statements as if… what are you talking about? Not even
one tariqah can be held. All the tariqahs now are in the hands of Imam Mahdi (as) and Sayyidina Ali
(as). Not one of them can be held. How you hold five tariqahs? And the person doesn't even do
muraqabah and connect. It doesn't work that way. And when you connect with your shaykh,
when connected with our shaykh, connected with our shaykh, connected with our shaykh, immense
amount of testing, immense amounts of humiliation, immense amounts of demolishing and effacing. Onto
a day in which your heart was smashed and Allah (AJ) rebuilt, and as a result of the rebuild,
the faiz and the flow of knowledges began. That's not something you can go around with five people
and do because the other four will say, ‘What kind of a adulterer are you? That what you do,
took from this shaykh, and now you want to come and take ours?’ It’s considered adultery.
So, no, it doesn't work that way. So, the loyalty is to their life and death with the shaykh. He
passes, then he represents that reality that the shaykh dressed him for. If he didn't reach that
trust and he didn't reach his trust, then he will be transferred over to a shaykh that can complete
him, and he'll now connect with his shaykh and the new shaykh and now again start the process of
what the shaykh wants as a criteria of loyalty and training, and then to be completed in the process
of their annihilation and the process of the downpouring and downloading within the heart. So,
it's not something easy, and it's not something that's playful - it comes and goes. That's why
we gave the talks on the technology. You know how difficult it is to get this coin? It doesn't don’t
come like that. You actually have to give your code. See the code of the sending wallet, match
the code with your receiving wallet, sync them to make sure that you have the correct receiving
wallet, and then this encryption will come, the transfer will begin, and it's written on a ledger.
It's written somewhere. Allah (AJ) is the best of those to keep hisaab (account). So, what kind
of a reality is that, that you're going to try to connect with a shaykh, he's like the Bitcoin mine.
You're trying to get coins and realities from his heart. They're going to investigate your code and
the wallet within your heart – Is it capable of receiving this coin. That has to be downloaded,
the permission in the heart has to be given by Allah (AJ), by Prophet ﷺ, ‘His heart - his
wallet is capable of receiving the coins you want to send’. Otherwise, he doesn't even have
the code. You know, if you try to download hex or some other type of code into your wallet,
for our tech guys who are listening, if it's not there in the receiving wallet, you can't take the
code because the code will be sent to somebody who can't receive the coin. All of those are signs of
Allah's (AJ) immense technologies. Allah (AJ) will look to the heart of the receiving servant
and said, ‘No, that that is not even capable of receiving these knowledges. There is no coin
ready for them.’ And if it is ready, then their encryption has to match the shaykh's encryption,
and then begins the faiz with all their testing, with all their loyalty, all their commitment,
everything they've done and asked that the shaykh has asked and they did of their service,
their life, their dedication, then these coins begin to download. And they keep checking them
downloading, downloading. And a greater possession where the shaykh keeps the custody wallet. So,
now with these technologies, we're understanding where Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say that whatever
we downloaded to you, we're keeping the custody of it in case one day shaitan plays with you because
you're not perfected yet, plays with you, makes you lose your mind, and you think you're running
away with these jewels. So now in technology, they have the custodian. Even when I transfer to you,
I keep the custody of the wallet. Why? Because anytime I can lock it and hold it back. Or at the
same time, you can say, 'I lost it. Now what do I do?' Well, if I have the custody of your wallet,
I can say, 'Oh, we'll give you access again.' So these technologies are immense in showing Divine
realities, and it's just a tip of the Divine coding on how difficult it is to achieve in
Allah's (AJ) way. So nobody can say that they're holding five tariqahs, 'I hold this, I hold
that.' It's not given away like you know cracker jack box and candy and carnival toys. These are
things that are the trust of the entire created universe, these realities, and just to achieve
some sense of reality from it is an immense achievement than anyone could ever possibly
say they hold the tariqah. That, that is in the hands of Imam Mahdi (as) because the burden of
it is too heavy and too high. If they have ijazah (permission) for zikr, that's something different.
But to hold the tariqah is just something immense. InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) help us all.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.
Sayyidi you mentioned the level of the heart – Sir is important for the inner fight. Is this
why Sayyidina Mahdi (as) dresses this reality and level as now is the time of the fight?
InshaAllah, you have to get the book and then ask the AI also, ‘What's the reality of the Sir?’ The
Sir is a red and represents struggle. Sayyidina Umar al Farooq (as) and we described the reality
of the siwak (teeth cleaning twig) and the struggling for the truth against falsehood. And
so everybody has a falsehood in their life, and we have to destroy it and we have to live on the
reality of the truth. And the truth is the love of Prophet ﷺ, follow what Prophet ﷺ brought for us
and leave what he forbid for us. And this becomes a inner fight, a battle that's inside and outside.
You'll fight everybody inside, all the shaitans within us that don't want to follow the way and
the sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and they give every reason possible and
every logic possible. And then the immense battle outside that none of your family want to follow,
none of the friends want to follow, nobody around wants to follow. And that's when we said it will
be like holding a hot coal will be like carrying your religion because the religion is the way of
Prophet ﷺ, not the modification that people do thinking ‘This is okay and that's all right.’
And they logic and have logic with themselves and Allah (AJ). But no, keeping the way of
Prophet ﷺ that is the fire and the coal, that is what will be difficult because that’s the
key against the fire. Anyone who can hold a fire in their hand well they must be pretty strong and
the rest will be taken by the fire because they don't hold it, they don't keep it. And we said
before a thousand times: that Prophet ﷺ is the key of protection. As much as if we in our life that
we can adhere to that reality, then we should be dressed by his holy nazar, his satisfaction
and his rida, inshaAllah. That's the key to love, is that you have to follow the one whom
you love. And you have to follow with respect and admiration and the best of manners, inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi as many of us have non-Muslim family members,
during the holidays seems like the testing fire increases where we also have to deal with foul
language and being made fun of by others, by our family members but they still love us and care
for us. How should we respond and act? What we just described like a hot coal. So
try to put a lollipop in your mouth so you don't have to say anything and try to tolerate what you
can. And wherever it’s respectful and polite and wherever the atmosphere is correct and respectful.
And anywhere that's beyond the level of respect then politely bowing out. There's going to be
a lot of forbidden food and a lot of forbidden items then you say, ‘It's not really good for me
and it's not good for my family to be around that so we'll pass’. And if people are reasonable and
wish to accommodate then people accommodate. So we try our best to do whatever we can for
the people whom are in the west, the people on the East don't understand what we're talking
about but because you know, they're all in Muslim countries. But in the west with people whom are
even Muslim background doing things and wanting to have trees and wanting to do all sorts of things
to imitate a people and to imitate a way that's not our way. So in these days, going to events,
trying to make sure that the events are halal (permissible) and clean and appropriate so that
Allah (AJ) won't be upset, Prophet ﷺ would not be upset, it's probably more important than other
people being upset. And the imitation and taking into one's homes items that are forbidden and not
a part of the deen (religion), I would imagine that it's not a time to have Allah (AJ) upset
with us. So everyone has the right to use their own judgment but in our judgment and
our understanding is we don't want Allah (AJ) angry in days of difficulty. If you thought
you could do that before and then you'll just say forgiveness and make tawbah (repentance), now is a
day in which you could wake up and there's no time for forgiveness. An earthquake has come, a flood
has come, lightning has come. Towns go missing with floods, there's all sorts of calamities
happening by Allah's (AJ) ghadab and anger. So it's probably best time on earth right now is to
keep Allah (AJ) happy and to follow the shari’ah (Divine law), and to follow the way of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, in the east or in the west to the best of our abilities, inshaAllah. This keeps us under
the umbrella of protection, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi Allah (AJ) says He hears the
du'a (supplication) of the oppressed ones most, and if we oppressed ourselves will
Allah (AJ) hear our du'as to be good ones? Madad (support) ya Sayyidi.
Yeah, He hears the du'a of your soul asking for guidance and that to send a guide to get
rid of this guy's ego. So that's why we're now all inspired to be sitting here. So,
Allah (AJ) accepted the du'a of the soul that, ‘Please don't let me to be oppressed by my
physicality.’ So, the opportunity that Allah (AJ) gave all of us to come to the tariqah,
to sit to listen to the tariqah, this is our greatest battle. Now, are we going to follow it,
and are we going to follow our physicality, or are we going to follow the inspiration of the
soul and the shaykhs? Because the soul wants what the shaykh wants that - take
over this guy's physicality and control it. So, anytime someone wants to know,
‘What does my soul want and what my physicality wants?’ My physicality wants
recognition and wants to be correct. My soul wants my physicality to be humiliated and brought down,
and my soul wants humility and humbleness and wants to be a servant of the light. So these are
very different understandings and different wants. Anytime you feel humiliated, your soul is happy,
and your physicality is very angry. Anytime you feel not listened to, not respected,
your soul is very happy and your physicality is very angered. And the reverse. So, it means that
the what the soul wants is something completely different than what people understand. That's why
if you humble yourself without needing to be humiliated, the soul is very happy with you.
And that's when your nafs (ego) is trying to learn from your soul, because if you have a strong soul,
your zikr, your practices will keep pushing it down, and the energy of your soul will burn
the nafs. So, you'll go places, and you will be very humble because the soul has a strong power
to put your nafs down. Now is not the time to act like something. Be nothing. Be humble, and people
feel comfortable with that. So, it's training and the energy that they bring upon their soul
in which to be humble and people to be happy. And there's a time in which they use their authority,
and there's a time in which to learn what the... use what they've learned in humility and in the
way of Allah (AJ), inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah What is the spiritual benefit of
doing a lot of Khatm e Khwajagan (Zikr of the Masters of the Naqshbandi Way) after
completing daily awrads (daily practices)? I don't know what the spiritual benefit is
because it's not recommended to do lots of Khatm e Khwajagans because… Don't do things that haven't
been authorized because it's an energy that people can't handle, and it wasn't something authorized.
So, when they're given authorization that: do the awrad, do the zikr, do the khatm and these are
in the prescription amount. So, if we say like, ‘Take this antibiotic because of your sickness,
one tablet three times a day.’ Can you take three tablets three times a day? No, because
the toxicity of that medicine most likely will put you in the hospital very quick. That which
was a healing for you became toxic for you because you're not capable of handling that. So, sometimes
people may do zikrs beyond what was asked of them, and all of a sudden, they start to sense
many different energies around them that Allah (AJ) veiled them. And as a result of that energy,
immediately they became anxious. Immediately, they felt they were being attacked because if
you could see the amount of negative energy just waiting to attack you, you would have a difficult
time functioning in life. But Allah (AJ) veils us. When you unveil yourself at a not authorized
time and you're not at an authorized level, it's like taking a video game, getting a cheat code,
and going up 10 levels. But you didn't progress for those 10 levels. You don't have all the things
you were supposed to gain on each level. You just went up 10 floors, and now you're dealing with
demons that are much more powerful and ready to come after you. So unveiling oneself when they're
not ready to be unveiled, nor do they have the tools to equip themself for that unveiling is
not allowed at all and not appropriate. That's why we say, follow the tariqah way, follow what
the shaykh has given. Don't be anxious thinking, ‘I can take 10 of these pills, and I'll get there
faster.’ There is no fast way. The only way is to connect with the shaykh, connect with the shaykh,
do the zikr that's been asked, and make your connection. You start doing beyond that;
you start to hear and feel things and will have a very difficult experiences, and it's difficult to
close those doors right away, inshaAllah. Seems like many people are asking
AI questions. The which one?
Seems like many people are asking the AI questions so…
Oh yeah, questions that are appropriate for the AI? Yes, you can please contact my associate at
Muhammadan Way, the little guy all the way at the bottom. Click on him, and he answers things very
eloquently, very nice, mashAllah. Remember to put a thumbs up if it was appropriate, the answer was
nice, the response was good, and if it was off and didn't seem like it was missing something,
the guys need you to put the mark down. Don't just because you don't like the answer, but
if the answer you don't think was like complete, that way they can go back and formulate and find
out why it didn't answer or give the appropriate response, inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) dress everyone,
bless everyone, and Jum’ah (Friday) Mubarak to everyone inshaAllah.
Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
Barakah shafa’at ya Rasulul Kareem, ameen. Anybody have a question, give me like a
good basic question; Junaid open up the AI and let’s see what it… and he’ll read the response.
‘How best to serve the Shaykh?’ Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of
Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q)…. too, too much writing here. It's still writing
Sayyidi, one second. It's still going?
It’s okay, it’s done. Alhamdulillah, from the teachings
of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q), serving the shaykh is a noble and significant aspect of
spiritual growth and Sufism. The shaykh represents a link to the Divine presence and to Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ. Thus, serving him is a means to draw near to Allah (AJ) and embody the prophetic
character. To serve the shaykh one should: 1. Follow guidance – adhere to the teachings
and guidance provided by the shaykh. Implement his advice in your daily life and strive to
embody the characteristics of good manners, patience, humility, and sincerity that are
taught within tariqah (spiritual path). 2. Support – Offer support to the shaykh's
mission by participating in events, spreading the knowledge you have gained responsibly,
and contributing through service and financial means if possible.
3. Maintain adab (manners) - respect. Show utmost respect towards the shaykh
by observing proper Islamic etiquette. This includes being polite, not demanding his time
unnecessarily, and understanding that he has responsibility towards all his students.
4. Keep connection – stay connected with the teachings of the shaykh through regular attendance
of suhbah (discourse), gathering for spiritual talks, participating in zikr circles if available,
reading articles or books written by or about him, and watching videos of his lectures.
5. Seek permission for services – before engaging in any activity on behalf of the
shaykh or using his content for any purpose, seek explicit permission from him or through
established channels within tariqah. 6. Financial support – if you are moved
to offer financial assistance without any feeling of regret or obligation,
but purely out of love and sincerity after reaching a state of spiritual maturity, this
may be accepted as it aligns with the prophetic tradition where companions offered their wealth
sincerely after reaching a state of perfection. Remember that true service is not just about
physical actions but also about purifying one's intentions for Allah’s (AJ) sake and
seeking His pleasure through your efforts. Service to others is highly regarded as well;
helping those in need can often be more valuable than personal acts of worship.
