Maghrib Suhbah at As-Siddiq Mosque
As-salaam `alaykum wa rahmutullah! It's the first time I am seeing these hairs of Sayyidina `Ali (r). They are made in a ring, a transparent ring. They were glued from the back, and you can see the holy hair in three groups of hairs. So inshaa-Allah you pass one-by-one and say salaam and move, don't kiss, only bow, look at it and move, inshaa-Allah and we will finish.
This is, subhaan-Allah. I saw on one ring from Indonesia the Names of Allah (swt) and Muhammad (s), but I didn't see a ring in which they inserted the holy hairs of Sayyidina `Ali (r), so it is a compensation for all your effort and it is a blessing for us to see it, inshaa-Allah. So anyone can take pictures at the end, inshaa-Allah.
Once we were at Mawlana Shaykh Nazim's (q) and he said to me, “You are carrying the sanjak (flag) of Mahdi (a), and flag of Prophet (s) and Sayyidina `Ali (r).” So I didn't know, I thought he is blessing us with that for everyone, but what he said a long time ago, like three years ago, it is on a clip. I don’t know if you have the clip?…Get the clip and give to them…
And now Taher called me two days ago, saying, “Someone has Sayyidina `Ali's (r) hair in a ring and they want to pass it to you,” and this is it, we have it here. It is like sanjak for us, like a flag for us that Mawlana Shaykh (q) has said something that happens in the future and this is what we are seeing today, and he said it three years ago. So this is a barakah from him at that time to tell us that, and alhamdulillah today we are carrying that and we are carrying that blessing that came from their side to have it with us here.
And we are feeling shy from all our sins, but what we can do? Allah will forgive, inshaaAllah, for everyone sins and here we are in front of these many, many hairs of Sayyidina `Ali (r) in a ring, like I have received before the holy hair of Prophet (s), from his head, we call it in Arabic “taafiyya”, it’s one lock of hair like a braid, coming from when Prophet (s) sometimes used to put braids in his hair.
So may Allah give us the barakah of this holy hair and make it barakah for everyone to see it on the Internet, and inshaa-Allah we will pass it now to the other room. [The ring goes to the ladies’ area for ziyara, then is returned to Mawlana Shaykh Hisham.]
As-salaam `alaykum around the world. This is the ring of Sayyidina `Ali (r) that came to us on the first day of Ramadan by one sincere brother who is here, I will not mention his name. It is a significant thing that we can have it; it is a blessing inshaa-Allah that anyone looking at it might get the mercy and blessings and happiness of Allah (swt), to be happy with us in dunya and Akhirah, by loving Prophet (s) by loving the Family (r) of Prophet, by loving Ahlu ’l-Bayt and this is from Ahlu ’l-Bayt! Inshaa-Allah that will make us to feel that we are in the right way, to come on the first day of Ramadan with this genealogy coming from that hair of Sayyidina `Ali (r)! It's from some relics that have been passed on, one of them to us.
`Alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.
