Miracles at the Burial of Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani (may God sanctify his secret)
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani
Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem
When Grandshaykh `AbdAllah قدس سرّه was ill, we never thought that he will pass away and anyone that said he was sick, or that he is going to pass away, we used to fight with them because we were young. Similarly, we never thought that Mawlana Shaykh Nazim قدس سرّه will leave us.
When they told Sayyidina `Umar that the Prophet died, he said, giving an oath, “W ’Allahi! Prophet did not die and if anyone says he is dead, I will cut his neck!” He meant, in the traditional tafseer, ta’weel, "Do not ever dare to say that the Prophet is dead. He is alive in dunya and Akhirah!” That’s what he meant, but they did not understand him.
On the seventh of day of May Mawlana passed away. The whole world was raining, weeping from losing that Shaykh, not only his miracles in dunya but his miracles in Akhirah!
I had the privilege, the honor, to wash him, to put the kafan on him, to pray Salaat al-Janaza on him, to go to his house and to bury him in his masjid.
