A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem, Bismillahir
Rahmanir Raheem, Atiullaha wa atiur Rasola
wa Ulil amre minkum.
Reminder for myself “ana abdukal 'ajeez,
wa dayeef, wa miskin, wa zhalim, wa jahl”
and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re
still in existence.
InshaAllah reminder always for myself “wa
minni wa minhum” that, this reality and
reality of insan (human being) the reality
of the soul and what insan is capable of reflecting.
That, when holy Hadees (Hadith) of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ that you’ll be with whom you
love; and that same Hadees also means that
whom you love will be with you and its reality
an immense ocean.
When Allah (AJ) describes from the top that,
‘I'm a hidden treasure wanting to be known,’
means showing now the greatest of this reality;
Allah (AJ) sets its precedent that I’m a
hidden treasure wanting to be known.
And Muharram is the opening of the reality
of the Zulfiqar the opening of the reality
of the Baab (door) and the ulul al baab (the
gatekeeper of the reality) the caretakers
of this door.
That Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ describes that,
‘Ana Medina - I’m the city of all knowledges
and realities.
And Imam Ali (as) wa Babahu; is the caretaker
of that baab,’ but also means the baab of
Hu; the gate of this reality of hu and its
immense realities of “Bismillahir Rahmanir
Raheem.”
That Allah (AJ), ‘I’m a hidden treasure
wanting to be known,’ and this year of Muharram
to understand and step into Muharram to understand
that we are running to the love of Allah (AJ)
– Supreme.
But the people just don't understand how to
do that.
So when you run to Allah (AJ) and your heart
is wholly trying to dedicate itself to the
love of Allah (AJ).
When Allah (AJ) gives you a grant of His Divinely
Love; it's not something that you achieve
but you merely provide the actions, you do
the actions.
It, Allah (AJ) has to grant it’s muhabbat
(love) it’s love.
When Allah (AJ) finds sincerity in the actions
of the servant and grants them a love means
that a light begins to enter into their heart
and as they’re running towards Allah (AJ),
Allah (AJ) begins to reveal the secret; that
‘I'm a hidden treasure and I want to be
known.’
So then begins to reflect you to the reality
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
Means those ‘ashiqeen (lovers) that have
a real and immense love for Allah (AJ); that's
the litmus test.
Those who say, ‘We focus on Allah (AJ) and
you focus too many things on other things,’
no, it's incorrect.
Actually that when your focus is sincere and
the love is sincere Allah (AJ) wants to reveal
a reality that, ‘I’m a hidden treasure
and I’ll always be a hidden treasure, but
I do want to be known and the only way this
alif and la ilaha illalallah can be known
is into the reflection of Muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ.’
So Allah (AJ), we’re all running towards
that reality, when Allah (AJ) finds satisfaction
then this reality of Holy Qur’an begin to
pull the servant in – ayatul kareem (holy
verse of Qur’an) “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon
Allaha fattabi’oni,” ‘Tell them,’
so this is an eternal order from Allah (AJ)
‘Tell all this creation, if they want My
love, fattabi’oni that to follow you Ya
Sayyidi Ya Rasulul Kareem (the most generous
Prophet) Ya Habibul Azeem (the greatest companion)
and Allah (AJ) “yuhbibkumullah,” that
Allah (AJ) will grant us His Divinely Love.’
So immediately in their loving and running
towards Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ) put a love
and reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ into
their heart, and made that love so immensely
more achievable.
That when we were sincere that, ‘Ya Rabbi
how am I going to love You how am I going
to serve You how am I going to to show my
love for You?’
It became so much easier and clearer, ‘Follow,
follow Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ!
All the other prophets they have a level of
imperfection and their nations have expired;
their visas, the date has expired.
Go to the one whom is most praised in heaven
go to the one whom visa never expires its
date never expires.
Go to the most perfected example in this creation;
fattabi’oni.’
And they began to run, began to run towards
the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
And they carried the sunnah (way of Prophet
ﷺ) and everything about that immense love
is that, ‘What is Prophet ﷺ want from
us?
How is it that we're going to make Prophet
ﷺ to be happy with us?
How are we going to do the milad (celebration
of the birth of Prophet ﷺ) the mawlid and
all of these practices?’
And that immense love began to open that secret.
And Prophet ﷺ was telling his companions
that, ‘If you've seen me you've seen Allah
(AJ).’
Now that's kind of deep; that, ‘Did you
see me means did you see that I’m the Walking
Qur’an?’
Sayyidina Aysha (as) said that, ‘Prophet
ﷺ was walking Qur’an.’
Means that people who are external they always
want something external and their zahiri (external)
understanding will always be external and
nothing makes any sense for them.
But people whom Allah (AJ) inspire from heavenly
realities that they know everything is perishing,
we don't focus on the perishing we focus on
that which is eternal and the world of light.
That when you love and you run towards this
reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, in this
immense soul, what did you see?
When they ran towards this light and this
love they realized when Prophet ﷺ is telling
them that, ‘If you remember me once Allah
(AJ) sends my soul to make 10 salawats (praises
upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ) upon you from
the oceans of eternity that have no time.’
And what is the best gift that Prophet ﷺ
can give to anyone is the gift of Holy Qur’an.
Means he's dressing them with the lights of
Holy Qur’an upon their soul blessing them
with these realities of Holy Qur’an upon
their soul.
And they are running to rasulul kareem.
Every attribute of Allah (AJ) is known through
this magnificent character of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ.
When Allah (AJ) describes “khuluqin ‘azheem,
‘azheem,” that you’re of a magnificent,
the creator of all creation is giving a description
of the character of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
as magnificent.
Why?
Because he is a reflection of Allah (AJ).
Allah’s (AJ) praising Himself, Allah’s
(AJ) saying, ‘The most perfected in your
creation and for your understanding is this
reality.
If you want to know what Rahman is, look to
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
If you want to know what Raheem is look to
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’
Every reality of Allah (AJ) will be known
to us dressed upon us through the reflection
of the reality of the light of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ.
And that's the reflection from the “la ilaha
illallah” the alif to the lam.
And when the alif and the lam, they twist
and become the Zulfiqar, that becomes the
la – bisirrat-e-lam jalalah.
That’s the secret of that Zulfiqar.
That the whole reality of that Zulfiqar was
laid in Muharram.
Imam Ali (as) represents the alif and lying
in the bed and becoming non-existent.
And the hijrah (migration) represents the
lam and the opening of this lisanul haq (tongue
of truth) the opening of Muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ.
But they’re intertwined; that for Imam Ali
(as) to lie in the bed to represent that state
of being non-existent being in a state of
fana (annihilation) and mawt qablil mawt (death
of desires before physical death) and then
entering into the city of lights to meet with
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ after he conveyed what
he wanted to convey in the holy cave to Sayyidina
Abu Bakar as-Siddiq (as).
So that lam is going through The Cave and
the one whom represents that secret of the
alif is lying in Mecca going straight into
Medina through a hidden channel and a hidden
reality under Mecca, and arrives in Medina
and that becomes the lam and the alif and
then it crosses.
And that's the Zulfiqar that was Sayyidina
Muhammad’s ﷺ sword and was given to Imam
Ali (as).
When we run to the love of Allah (AJ) what
we find is the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ.
And Allah (AJ) wants, ‘Did you find Me?
Did you see that this hidden treasure of Mine
in this one whom you love and never disappoints
you in your love?
Did you find My mercy?
Did you find My compassion?’
Look at all these naat shareefs (praises)
and all these salawats (praisings).
How beautific they make you feel how beautifically
they’re written.
And everything about the love of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ you feel the real love of Allah
(AJ) when you love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ,
becomes a pure reflection of that reality.
And then Allah (AJ) said, ‘Did you find
Me?’
That when you were loving and moving in that
direction “Qul in kuntum tuhibbon Allaha
fattabi’oni,” if Allah (AJ) accepts “fattabi’oni,”
accents your itiba’ and your following,
“yuhbibkumullahu.”
Allah (AJ) will grant, if He says, ’If I
accepted the way you follow I’ll grant you
My Divinely Love; yuhbibkumullahu.’
Then Allah (AJ) describes I’m Ghafoor ur-Raheem,
I forgive all, all your sins.
Of course if I'm going to dress you with that
light perfect you with that light I have to
continuously clean you wash you and perfect
you.
But you're actually now dressed with Allah’s
(AJ) Divinely Love because you love Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ it's reality was over-pouring
with the reality of the love of Allah (AJ).
And this is the example of mirroring in our
life.
And Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ was warning creation;
when he told this creation and gave every
Hadees and every expression out to humanity,
“Minni wa minhum.”
That, ‘Hussein (as) is from me and then
I'm from him I am from Hussein (as).’
Again that same secret is coming out, that
‘He carries my light.’
What made the light of Muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ?
Allah (AJ) brought that light and made Muhammadan
rasulullahﷺ.
And Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is asking us and
reminding us, ‘This light of Imam Hussein
(as) is from my light, my purified light of
which you don't even understand it’s reality,
just one of its understanding is from my soul
and the light of my left eye from bahrul hayat
(ocean of ever-living) Allah (AJ) made that
soul of al-Hussein (as).’
From the oceans of al-Hayat (ever-living)
the oceans of eternity the oceans of yaqeen
and certainty, and named that ancient reality
Sayyid us-Shuhada.
‘Sayyid’ is a master, ‘Shuhada’ mushahida
(to witness) - he's a master of those whom
can see, there's no seer above the master.
Nobody can witness no reality can be opened
without Imam al-Hussein (as) to sign for them
and this immense reality of Imam al-Hussein
(as), and Prophet ﷺ is saying that, ‘He’s
from me.
One day you may find out from where on my
light, Ya Jadd al-Hassani wa Husseini, Quratul
Aini,’ we even make that in that beautiful
salawat; and Quratul Ain – the beautific
eyes of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
And Prophet ﷺ gave to us said that, ‘He’s
from me.’
Means this light of Imam al-Hussein (as) is
from me and when you see him and when you
love him, did you find me?
When you love him and see his Noble character
his chivalrous character.’
And when we sit and those whom cry people
look and say, ‘Why they’re crying?’
So, ‘We’re crying because we have such
a love for Prophet ﷺ.
I’m thinking to myself I would have ripped
my hair out if I had to look at a field in
which they were trying to kill the light of
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’
Right now if you talk bad about it I will
rip your hair out.
Imagine what to do in a field in which you
saw that.
You don't feel that it rips your heart out
to even hear that?
They didn’t see the light of Prophet ﷺ
on him, killing him.
And they called azaan (call to prayer) to
pray.
And all his children slaughtered in a field.
Don’t we suffer from these same people now?
They see nothing of Islam.
And they call azaan.
They didn't see his light?
And Prophet ﷺ asked, ‘You didn’t see
me there?
I was a hidden treasure wanting to be known
you didn't know me?
Oh my nation who you called azaan, you made
salah (prayer) and you kept butchering my
family, what is this Islam you were following?
Everywhere on this earth is Karbala.
Every day is Ashura.
Everyday ahlul bayt (Holy family of Prophet
ﷺ) are attacked and they’re left to be
alone in their field.
People call them, ‘Come, come teach,’
and within no time they say, ‘Get out, get
out of the home that we brought you in, get
out of here, get out we don't want anything
to do with you we don't come to see you.’
Every day, every day is Ashura for them, and
wherever they step is Karbala.
That's the sad side.
But the people of malakut (heavenly realm)
and tafakkur and contemplation these words
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is a deep reality,
‘When you love him do you feel me?
When you cry for him do you feel how happy
I am with you, because you found me you found
me in my family.’
Didn’t Prophet ﷺ describe, ‘I leave
for you Qur’an and my sunnah.’
And then gave another secret that, ‘I left
for you Qur’an and my ahlul bayt . That
my ahlul bayt , they are my sunnah.’
Not only hat and siwak (teeth cleaning twig).
The sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is to
be with ahlul bayt . If it's Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ that you love how is it that you're not
with the family?
And all mashayikh (guides) of Naqshbandiyyah
are all ahlul bayt.
And they’re ahlul bayt by light and by blood
and that reality that they come to teach that
when you love Imam al-Hussein (as), Prophet
ﷺ is dressing you like Allah (AJ) was dressing
about the love of Prophet ﷺ.
‘Oh you really reached me you really found
the code into my love.
Your love was so superficial.’
Now imagine the danger of those who come against
this reality.
When Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ it's for those
who are fortunate and glad tidings they find
the love and the cry and they say, ‘I can't
imagine how this happened and I wish I was
there.
I want to uphold the sunnah I want to uphold
the way I wanted to uphold the Noble character.’
And they get the visitation and the light
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ into their hearts
and say, ‘You found me you found my love
you found my satisfaction, your love is sincere
you love what I love, you dislike what I dislike
you're real.
You're real.’
And the one whom they don't and they don't
cry and they even dare to open their mouth
saying that, ‘Why should you cry?’
Those are hizb-us-shaitan (party of shaitan).
They didn't find the light of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ in this Noble family?
They didn’t find the light of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ in this Noble character?
Then they missed the whole package.
The same with those whom didn't see it with
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ they say also the same
that, ‘Why you don’t just love Allah (AJ)?
Why you have to make?
Why you have to respect Prophet ﷺ so much?
Why you have to do this why you have to do
that?’
It's the same aqidah (belief) the same belief
system.
They’re not understanding the mirror.
They're not understanding this secret of reflection.
That Allah (AJ) saying, ‘I'm a hidden treasure
if it was so easy to run to Me you and every
other but-parast (worshiper of stones) and
every other type of creation, you would have
found it.
But the real test was, no!
If you love Me go to Muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ.’
You know the companions when they were being
tortured in Mecca the people of Mecca were
saying, ‘No problem you stay with “la
ilaha illallah” but don't you ever go towards
“Muhammadan rasulullah ﷺ.”
This whole dunya (material world) has no problem
with Allah (AJ) but don't you dare show yourself
as a Muhammadan.
Don't identify yourself in your ‘Muhammadan
Image.’
Means they were telling them, ‘Do whatever
you want with saying Allah (AJ) because it
doesn't matter for us but don't dare show
yourself that you are with muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ.’
And they tortured all the companions in Mecca
they grabbed Sayyidina Bilal (as) they were
torturing and killing the companions in the
days in Mecca; 13 years of torment.
So know, those whom they came to the love
and they came to the love of muhammadan rasulullah
ﷺ, what they found?
What Sayyidina Bilal Habashi (as) found?
They’re crushing his heart and crushing
his chest to kill him in a field, then they
say, ‘Give up, give up the way of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ.’
He said, ‘No, kill me here crush me and
all his zikr (chanting, remembrance) was “Ahad,
Ahad, Ahad.”
Means Allah (AJ) opened immense oceans of
bahrul Ahad (ocean of oneness) that, ‘Your
love for Prophet ﷺ has found acceptance
and your gift is My Divinely Presence.’
So then imagine now these nights when we're
trying to seek the satisfaction of Prophet
ﷺ in our life.
People gather people donate people give people
crying for this love, it grants us the satisfaction
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
That may Prophet ﷺ be pleased with us dress
us bless us with these lights.
Forgive our wrongdoings just for the sake
of the love of ahlul bayt love of Ashab an
Nabi ﷺ (holy companions of Prophet ﷺ).
It’s not necessary to always mention Sayyidina
Abu Bakar (as), Sayyidina Umer (as) Sayyidina
Usman (as) every time you want to mention
ahlul bayt.
It's not a competition.
On certain nights it's their night to be identified
it doesn't take away the love of all the holy
companions.
But this night and these nights are for them
and remembering what they sacrificed and that
the real light and love of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ was there and in the fields of death and
battle when all people could only see the
slaughtering and the grief, they say Imam
al-Hussein (as) saw the presence of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ and his arms stretched and, ‘Come
and run to me.
Your time on this dunya is finished and Allah
(AJ) has found satisfaction in your struggle.’
Means our life is about that reflection anything
that you love with sincerity it begins to
enter to you and reflect to you.
When somebody has an immense love for Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ, do you see it?
Are you just looking at their form and say
you know, just click on the video and say,
‘Oh this guy’s Arabic is not correct,’
and they start cursing.
Those are Yazeed.
Anyone who's making these comments from ridiculously
superficial understandings; you’re a Yazeed.
And the Yazeed within yourself is coming against
everything.
And Allah (AJ) describes, ‘You, that you'll
be blind in dunya and you'll be blind in akhirah
(hereafter).’
Our life wasn't about that but was to see
that these people have an immense love, there
must be a hidden secret within them.
That when you enter into their love enter
into their associations Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ, isn’t he asking you, ‘Oh I think
you found me.
You'll find me in the hearts of those whom
sincerely loved me.’
All those people who out and looking for ahlul
bayt and looking for the love of Imam al-Hussein
(as), did they find it yet?
When you came to those whom have an immense
love for that reality, we're just a hollow
body what you love you will be with.
That Holy Hadees, ‘Whom you love you'll
be with them.’
Are we talking about the body or we're talking
about the soul?
That your whole life was to put your love
for them, you don't think then your soul is
companion with them that your soul is always
attached to them?
And their soul is actually with you.
So when people come to you, did they find
that secret of Imam Hussein (as) inside of
you?
If you're an external person none of this
makes sense you probably should change the
channel.
But if you are somebody searching for malakut
and the world of light, this immense reality
is, whatever you're looking for you find it
in those who have an immense love for that
reality; seek out the lovers of the reality
whom their love is sincere with their actions
and their words, not just words.
There are people who say they love and they
were saying crazy things.
But when you love and you're sincere the one
whom you love is always with you and if people
keep their companionship and watch and follow
and learn they should be feeling the presence
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
They should be feeling the presence of Imam
al-Hussein (as) and that's the reality, one
of the realities of that Holy Hadees, ‘You’ll
be with whom you love.’
so when I'm looking for the love of ahlul
bayt I want to find those whom sincerely love
them.
When I'm looking for the love of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ from holy Hadees, that Holy Hadees
says you [connection lost] then the most on
this earth and in their deeds and in their
actions.
And don't look to the superficial, like somebody
buying a house they entered the house and
say, ‘Oh the paint is just all wrong.’
Are you crazy you don't think you can repaint
things?
It’s not about that, it's about the inner
reality.
Don't let the outer distract you but the inner
reality the inner actions the inner love the
inner, inner immense desire for that love.
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless
us with that love.
‘Ya Rabbi open our heart to see whom we
love and to be with whom we love.
And everybody let them be with whom they really
love Ya Rabbi.
If they love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Ya Rabbi
grant us to always be in that presence.
Grant us to be in Your Divinely Oceans, to
be in the Divinely Oceans of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ, ahlul bayt Nabi ﷺ, ashab an Nabi ﷺ,
awliyaullah (saints) fi sama wa fil ard (in
heavens and on earth) Ya Rabbi.’
