MUHAMMADUN RASULULLAH (S)
Allah said in the Holy Quran “Muhammadun Rasulullah.” If Muhammad is Rasulullah (s) he is Rasulullah (s). The Quran says Muhammadu Rasulullah [which] means continuity. It is not for one century or one time and then ‘stop’. It continues from when Allah said Muhammadu Rasulullah (s), Muhammad is Rasulullah (s). This means that when Allah raised the name of Muhammad up with His Name, from that day of Muhammadu Rasulullah (s) means that Muhammad is existing. From that time he is existing until as long as Allah wants. Means he is accompanying every century, every community everyone that Allah created in order to be correct “Muhammad Rasulullah (s).”
The Prophet (s) said, “I have been sent kaffatan li ’n-naasi to all people,” which means 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, the real meaning of Muhammadu Rasulullah (s) is facing you.
Physically he faced his community 1400 years ago with his Sahaba. Spiritually he is continuous (facing people). Now that needs harder work to see him through spiritual power. This is needed to ??illuminate?? these veils--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 closed to the Hadrat al-Nabi (s) the presence of the Prophet (s) as such we can reach his spirituality, for his 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 “shahr ummatee - the month of my ummah” that is now what comes.
Wa min Allah al-tawfiq bi hurmat al-fatiha.
LAYLAT AL-MAHDI/GRANDSHAYKH THE ONLY TAP OPEN FOR HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE
On the night of the 15th of Ramadan in Salat al-Witr we will make Du`a Qunut where in that night Allah yatajalli `ala nabiyihi (s) - Allah sends His tajalli, blessings and inaya on the Prophet Sayyidina Muhammad (s) for the Prophet (s) 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 (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 a special tajalli - inayatihi al-khassa. He opened on Mahdi (as) and on his khalifas and deputies and that night Mahdi will be leading tarawih with his 40 khalifas and 59 deputies with 12,000 descendants of Sayyidina Ali. All of them are behind Jabal Qaf. Allah said “Qaf wal qurani’l-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 where all of them in the form of Sayyidina Ali-- as if they are him. All of them will be praying tarawih that night led by Sayyidina al-Mahdi who will lead Dua al-Qunut. Dua al-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 inaya--Allah’s blessings--to every individual. Allah in that night will give Mahdi (as) who has to be protected for that year by seven different groups: Budala Nujaba, Nuqaba, Awtad, Akhyar, Jinn and Malaika. 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 on who is to 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 between these seven groups to look after them. So that night Mahdi (as) will be leading Salat at-Tarawih and making dua with all these groups and that is why he is making Du`a Qunut because it will be a very heavy tajalli coming on earth from the heavens.
We imitate, 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 Nazim Adil al-Haqqani and our GrandShaykh Shaykh Abdullah al-Faiz ad-Daghestani in sha Allah that will be accepted.
GrandShaykh used to pray by himself and only on that night he would call us for tarawih and make that dua. What Allah opens in that night makes Awliya even in sakhra--to be fainting 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 any more 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 the Prophet (s) to our GrandShaykh Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah al Faiz ad-Daghestani. 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 Fadail al-Sham, Virtues of Sham. And Imam Suyuti has written a book on Fada’il al-Sham.
One of the things that he said was that if one person with 12,000 kaba’ir, big sins, entered into Sham, with the tajalli that comes onto Sham Allah changes his kaba'ir into hasanat He turns his big sins into good deeds in one night from the tajalli that is coming onto Sham ash-sharif.
Allah’s Throne on the judgement day will be descending in Sham ash-sharif and Judgement Day will be in Sham GrandShaykh said that Allah’s swt tajalli descending on that day will be between two maqams, burial places of Ahl al-Bayt
From the Fadail ash-Sham, virtues of Sham, that there are a lot of Awliya there more than anywhere else in the world. Awliya have three nights with the Prophet (s) as I was saying before wa `alam anna feekum Rasulullah or Muhammad Rasulullah or wa maa arsalnaka illa kaafatan basheeran wa nadheera, We sent you has a mercy to all human beings, so the Prophet (s) as shown in these three verses of the Holy Quran means continuity and as I said before Allah (swt) raised the level of Sayyidina Muhammad to have his name with His name. From that time Muhammad Rasulullah (s) meaning Muhammadun Rasulullah (s) is existing from that time. Because when Allah put his name la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadun Rasulullah (s), then he was prophet to whom? He must be prophet to a creation. It means from that time of Muhammadun Rasulullah (s) he is rasul to creation that we don’t know. Not only to human beings but Allah knows His hikma His wisdom, to whom the Prophet (s) is rasul to which creation other than us. And that needs/means to feed al-istimrariyya when Allah says something it is continuous. When Allah says Muhammadun Rasulullah (s) it means in every time: from the time of la ilaha illa Allah Muhammadun Rasulullah (s) to whatever time Allah wants, that is continuous. Which means that Muhammad (s) is here now anywhere.
You cannot see because you have 70 veils of darkness on our hearts.
So Awliya can. Allah gave them the permission and the power which is why they meet three times a week in Sham ash-sharif fi jabal qasiyun where GrandShaykh is buried and his house is there. There is a cave known as Maghaarat ad-Dam, the Cave of Blood, where it is crying from Sayyidina Adam’s time until today. If you go there you see red drops coming down. In that cave there is an eye, subhan Allah it is like an eye and tears come from it in the color of blood. It is crying because Habil killed Sayyidina Qabil--Cain killed Abel.
There is also the place of Abdal ash-Sham and GrandShaykh said from the importance of this mountain Allah has moved all anbiya’s grave to that mountain and is known by Awliya as Jabal al-Anbiya, the Mountain of Prophets, because all Anbiya, 124000 of them, were moved to that mountain because the mahshar is going to be there on the Judgment Day.
So Awliya meet with the Prophet (s) in Magharat ad-Sam where that eye is crying. They meet with the Prophet (s) on Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights: Laylat al-uthnayn, laylatul-khamees wa laylat al-jumu`ah--Sunday night, Wednesday night and Thursday night--three nights and the Prophet (s) gives them what is needed to be given until the next meeting. So Awliya are preparing the hearts of their murids for those upcoming events. So all these Awliya that are meeting only one wali is allowed to speak and that is the only tap that can speak from hidden knowledge. You cannot find anymore any Awliya that can speak from the heavenly knowledge--you can only find those who can speak from written materials from books or from something they have learned from books like the books of Sayyidina Muhyiddin ibn Arabi or Sayyidina Ahmad al-Faruqi like Abd al-Wahhab ash-Sharani, Ahmad al-Badawi, Sayyidina Abdul Qadir Jilani - from books these books and that knowledge was for their time. Now as the Prophet (s) yataraka mithlayni mithlayni fil-`uluww, he (s) is ascending and doubling in every instant to Allah’s nearness, presence and also `ilm moves. Where is that `ilm? In the hearts of Awliya only one tap is allowed to speak and that tap when it opened it drowns every other `ilm. That is the tap of GrandShaykh Abdallah al Faiz ad-Daghestani may Allah bless him. He did not open a book, he doesn’t read or write, except he can read Quran and Du`a but he doesn’t have the formal education. And ulama--including my uncles who are the highest authorities in Lebanon--when they come in his presence they are like chickens in front of a lion.
Hundreds of ulama would come to his meetings and they cannot open their mouths because they are incapable to bring such knowledge. As soon as he opened and begins it is from the fountain of the Prophet (s)--he would pour knowledge that never you heard it or can imagine it but it is according to Shariah and Islam, but it is so high that it makes the `ulama hayyara, wondering. That was the only tap and Awliya were granted permission, as soon as GrandShaykh opened his mouth to speak all Awliya around the world must open their satellite ears to receive that knowledge.
Now that secret has been transferred to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may Allah bless him. That is the only tap that can bring such hidden treasures. Sometimes he speaks and sometimes he doesn’t. Most of the time now 95% he is not opening from these knowledges.
Time is approaching very near and Mahdi is holding the power from Awliya. In sha Allah if Allah supports us we can put some of these knowledges in a book that I have been recording and writing from GrandShaykh and give a commentary explanation if we have time in the future in sha Allah. May Allah give us from the baraka of GrandShaykh one night there was a big disaster in that mountain Jabal Qasiyun there was a big storm coming. People when they see a storm like a tornado--it is not a tornado. Rather it is spinning there are on earth places that are allocated for jinn. It is there own dominion. Communities when they move it is this spinning the way that they move, spinning and spinning, taking everything with them in that spinning. Whenever you see such things it is the sign of a huge community of jinn moving together from one location to another. These are on earth in different areas.
Suddenly something happened in Qasiyun Mountain and there were many people attacked by this movement of jinn through their homes and so on. Many people asked Mawlana Shaykh for something. When Mawlana referred this matter in Diwan al-Awliya, the Association of Awliya, and the Prophet (s) spiritually ordered him to lay down and hold a pen in his hand like Sayyidina Muhyidin ibn Arabi (q)..
Muhyidin ibn Arabi when he was writing Futuhat al-Makkiya he was not writing it when he was awake, he was writing it when he was sleeping. He would hold the pen in his hand and then the pen moved and he would write.
So GrandShaykh was ordered to hold a pen and lay down and the pen was moving in the hijab azima that we know now the tawiz. That was dictated by the Prophet (s) to GrandShaykh. So I have one copy of GrandShaykh’s original writing of that azima. That was written by the order of the Prophet (s). As soon as he finished the Prophet (s) ordered him to put it on a big post on the mountain. As soon as it was raised that stopped the effect of the jinns on humans. That is why it is very necessary to carry that tawiz, azima. It will help protect from being attacked by jinn. That kind of GrandShaykh’s Mawlana Shaykh’s power that Allah (swt) in every century sends such kind of people may Allah bless him and raise him higher and higher so that is transferred now to Mawlana Shaykh nazim. Insha Allah what I still have of GrandShaykh’s notebook in the future we can speak about and explain. Like what I was speaking just now about the the Prophet (s) that he is accompanying all his ummah from beginning to end even all the creation that is from GrandShaykh’s and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s heart that knowledge. May Allah (swt) support us.
There are two kinds of knowledge: `ilm al huruf and `ilm al-qulub--knowledge of letters put letters together makes words and put words together makes sentence, sentences make an article. Iblis knows that. `Ilm al qulub is special. Even if you are not an `alim Allah sends to your heart and sends you inspiration wa`allamnaahu min ladunna `ilma means it is not because he was studying, but Allah gave him a special `ilm and with that `ilm he made Musa wondering. That was in the time of Musa (as). In the time of Sayyidina Sulayman (as) Sayyidina Asif ibn Barkhiya, brought him the throne. What about the ummah of the Prophet (s)? It is more stronger.
So Awliya are everywhere, but the lucky one is connected to a strong wali to be connected to a strong wali you have to surrender your will to his will, because his will, will lead you to the will of his Shaykh his Shaykh leads you to the will of GrandShaykh to GrandShaykh to GrandShaykh which leads you to the will of the Prophet (s) and from the Prophet (s) to Allah (swt). Struggling and not surrendering--physically and spiritually--if you do not surrender then you are not realizing the importance of the connection that you have. That is why the murid has to connect and surrender physically and spiritually to the order and will of the Shaykh. May Allah (swt) keep us physically and spiritually connected to Mawlana Shaykh Nazim which leads us to GrandShaykh and to the Prophet (s) in sha Allah.
Bi hurmat al-habib wa bi hurmat al-Fatiha.
