Allah said in the Holy Qur‘an “Muhammadun Rasulullah.” If Muhammad is Rasulullah he is always Rasulullah (s). The Qur’an says Muhammadun Rasulullah means continuity. It is not for one century or one time and then stop. It continues from when Allah said Muhammadun Rasulullah, Muhammad is Rasulullah (s). This means that when Allah raised the name of Muhammad (s) up with His Name, from that day of Muhammadun Rasulullah means that Muhammad is existing.
From that time he is existing until as long as Allah wants. This means he is accompanying every century, every community and everyone that Allah created in order to be connected to Muhammad Rasulullah (s). Prophets have been sent kaffatan li 'n-naas – “to all people” which means to all humanity.
We are people so we are also among the people the Prophet (s) was sent to. So Muhammadun Rasulullah (s) is among the community. But there are veils that have to be opened in order that we can see Sayyidina Muhammad (s). When these veils are opened, Muhmammadun Rasulullah, the real meaning is facing you. Physically he faced his community 1400 years ago with his Sahaba. Spiritually he is continuous. But now we must work harder to see him because it is through spiritual power. This is needed to illuminate.
There are 70,000 veils between us and the Prophet (s). They cannot be illuminated except through progress and awareness. We have to be always cautious not to be falling into forbidden things. As we put ourselves away from forbidden things and close to the Hadrat al-Nabi (s) the presence of the Prophet (s), as such we can reach his spirituality forour rowhaniyya to meet with him, with his Sahaba and with his Awliya. May Allah swt grant us this. This is the month of these grants [Ramadan]. This is the month that Allah honored his servants with such favors because it is Ramadan [as the Prophet (s) said:] “shahr ummatee - the month of my ummah” that is now what comes. Wa min Allah al-tawfiq bi hurmat al-fatiha.
On the night of the 15th of Ramadan in Salat al-Witr we will make Du`a Qunut where that night Allah yatajalla `alaa nabiyyihi (s) - Allah sends his tajalli blessings and inayah on the Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad (s) for the Prophet in his turn to send that tajalli strength and power to Mahdi (as). Between Awliya it is known as Laylat al-Mahdi the night of Mahdi (as) where these treasures and secret permissions for Mahdi's (as) message of Islam that he is bringing to humanity which is the same message of Sayyidina Muhammad (s) but with heavenly support that evening Allah opens from his help special tajalli inayatihi al-khassa. He opened on Mahdi (as) and on his khalifas and deputies and that night Mahdi (as) will be leading tarawih with his 40 khalifas and 59 deputies along with 12,000 descendents of Sayyidina ‘Ali (r).
All of them are behind Jabal Qaf. Allah said “qaf wal quran al-majeed” Qaf is a hadd, limit between physical life that can be seen and spiritual life that cannot be seen, only by Awliya. That Mahdi (as) with his deputies, khalifas and 12,000 from the descendants of Sayyidina ‘Ali (r) all of them in the form of Sayyidina Ali (r) as if they are him. All of them will be praying tarawih that night led by Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) who will lead Du`a al-Qunut.
Du`a Qunut in Witr can be led when there are problems, disasters, wars. The Prophet (s) recommended Qunut in Salat al-Witr to be read. So Mahdi (as) is reading that du`a for raising darkness away from this earth and bringing by Allah’s mercy His inayah Allah’s blessings to every individual. On that night Allah will give Mahdi (as) who has to be protected for that year by seven different groups. Budala Nujaba, Nuqaba, Awtad, Akhyar, Jinn and Malaa'ika (Angels). Five different human groups: Budala are the 40 Abdal of Sham, Nujaba are a special group of Awliya, Nuqaba are senior Awliya, Awtad are like pillars keeping earth and people that world not shaking, and Akhyar means the top people that Allah has chosen them. These five different groups of Awliya, Allah gives them the authority as to who will be protected this year until Mahdi (as) comes, whoever will be living has to be protected. Malaika and jinn will also be given names of those to be protected. So the Ummah will be divided among these seven groups to look after them.
That night Mahdi (as) will be leading Salat at-Tarawih and making du`a with all these groups. He is making Du`a Qunut because it will a very heavy tajalli will be coming on earth from the heavens. We will be imitating and following the footsteps of Mahdi (as) and we are asking Allah swt to make our tarawih behind Mahdi (as) and his khalifas and deputies. And we are asking Allah to change our prayer from imitational tarawih to real tarawih behind Awliya in sha Allah with the baraka of our shaykh, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani and our grandshaykh Shaykh `AbdAllah al-Fa'iz ad-Daghestani (q) in sha Allah that will be accepted. Grandshaykh used to pray tarawih by himself but only on that night he would call us for tarawih and make that du`a.
What Allah opens in that night makes even Awliya in sakhra, to be fainting, from what Allah opened of tajalli and blessings. Even Awliya feel faint from this big tajalli which will be descending on human beings.
.
May Allah swt keep the baraka of our shuyukh always on us. Awliya are the inheritors of the Prophet (s) and what is in the hearts of Awliya is so huge that humanity cannot carry that knowledge and all that they speak is like a drop in the ocean of the Prophet (s). Awliya have no permission to open from hidden knowledge anymore, that is why you cannot see anymore Awliya speaking beyond the understanding of humanity. Their speeches are always normal and standard because Mahdi (as) is taking the whole command. Because Awliya have no more permission to open from these hidden knowledge. Allah has left one tap open and that one tap Allah has granted it by the baraka of the Prophet (s) to our grandshaykh Mawlana Shaykh `AbdAllah al-Fa'iz ad-Daghestani (q) that tap was never turned off. Because Awliya are mostly found in Sham ash-sharif. The Prophet (s) has mentioned over 40 hadiths on the Fadaa’il al-Sham. And Imam Suyuti has written a book titled Fadaa’il al-Sham, the Virtues of Sham.
