Spiritual Protection for the Last Days
From the Realities of Mawlana (Q) as taught by Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi
A’udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem
Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem
I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the rejected one
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Heavenly Realm is All Encompassing
Ya Allah (AJ) grant us from Your Light, from Your Mercy Oceans, to have mercy upon us, grant us from the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and love of Awliyaullah. Alhamdulillah always a reminder for myself that everything requires an understanding from spirituality, from Malakut, and from physicality. Anytime we don’t teach from the spiritual, from the Malakut, which is ‘kulli shayy’, and Allah (AJ) describes it in Surat Yaseen that the Heavenly Realm is all encompassing; it encompasses the physical realm.
فَسُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ﴿٨٣﴾
36:83 – “Fasubhanal ladhee biyadihi Malakotu kulli shay in wa ilayhi turja’oon.” (Surat YaSeen)
“Therefore Glory be to Him in Whose hand is the dominion/ kingdom over everything in heavens, and to Him you will be returned.” (YaSeen, 36:83)
Allah (AJ) Declare War Against Those Who Come Against Awliyla (saints)
So then the Turuq and Ahlul Haqaiq and those who are traditionally trained, and alhamdulillah we are under the feet of Mawlana Shaykh, may Allah (AJ) raise his darajats, sanctify his secret and declare war on anyone who declares war on him. Allah (AJ) to be involved now into this dunya that Allah’s (AJ) nazar to be upon them (Awliya). And for the Holy Qur’an to be real, for Prophet ﷺ to be real, that ‘when they come against My Awliyaullah, Allah (AJ)will come against them.’
:عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَة رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه و سلم إنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ
مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقْد آذَنْتهُ بِالْحَرْبِ” – رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ”
“Man ‘ada li waliyan faqda adhantahu bil harbe,…” (‘An Abi Hurayra, Rawa e Bukhari)
Narrated by Abu Hurayra, that Prophet Muhammad (saws) said that “Allah (AJ) said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a waliy (saint) of Mine…” [Hadith qudsi, Narrated by Abu Hurayra, in Sahih Bukhari]
They went against the qabr, the graves of Awliya who passed, is one thing, but to come against the Sultan ul Arifeen and Muhaqiqeen, and those who are bringing realities and are dearly loved by Allah (AJ), loved by Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Allah’s War be upon them. All the ‘samaawaati wal ardh’ to come against these dajjals and shayateen.
Try to Understand the Physical and Spiritual Signs of the Last days
A reminder for ourselves that the Malakut, the spiritual realm, has an essential understanding in everything, eschatology and Islamic understanding of Akhir Zaman is important in our faith. But now so many are teaching that who are not in Tariqah and not from the Ahl al-Haqaiq. They teach Akhir Zaman (End of Time) but only from a physical realm and they miss one wing. It is like needing two wings to fly with, but you miss one wing and the teaching is incomplete; it doesn’t reach to its reality, and does not reach to what Prophet ﷺ wanted for the Nation, and what Allah (AJ)wants for the soul.
From the understanding of Akhir Zaman, from End Times and Last Days, and it is relevant to all the nations from all the different religions of the World. If they study only the physical signs, but not understanding from, nor accompanying spiritual guides who give them the spiritual understanding of these Signs, there won’t be a complete growth within that person who gives that teaching, and that (student’s) soul won’t rise.
Signs of the Last Days Meant to Detach Us From Dunya
One example is that when you’re expecting the End Times, whatever names people want to use for the return of Sayyidina Isa (as), Jesus Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, and Sayyidina Mahdi (as). Whatever is written in people’s books of holy spiritual people that are coming, you can not just look at the Signs in the physical realm and leave it at the physical realm. More importantly and why Prophet ﷺ brought these isharat and Signs for us, is that by studying the Signs of the Last Days and End Times, it takes away the flavor of the material world.
If we look at all the Signs that Prophet ﷺ brought and again everybody goes back to their own holy books, that when you look at the Signs and begin to see the material world filled with these Signs, it is meant to detach the physical being. That don’t use this material world to plan what you are going to do for fifty years in your life because it looks like a corpse that is in its dying phase. The importance of the physical and why Prophet ﷺ brought those, was to begin to give an understanding that your material world should lose its taste, the spiritual interpretations should begin to dress us all. When you truly believe with your physicality that this world, “O my God look there is war on this coast, there is war on that shore, the oceans are boiling with nuclear destruction, earthquakes are happening, tornadoes are coming, asteroids are falling,”.
Increase Your worship, When You Witness Signs of the Last Days
When you begin to see the physical Signs and your spiritual preparation should also have increased. Allah (AJ) describes that kulli shayy, it is all encompassing, so when your physicality looks and reads and believes in these Signs, it looks and says, “O my gosh, why would I put all my efforts on the material world? It looks like a tomato that is rotting and falling apart.” Then the spiritual masters come and teach, “You should be increasing your spiritual practice.” You should be increasing your Zikr and tafakkur and contemplation, your meditations, your prayers, your fasting, all of that which benefits your soul. If you truly believe that this world is coming to an end, then you should have been preparing yourself for the Akhirah, for the Hereafter.
Purify Your Soul to Accompany Mahdi (as) – Don’t just Hide in the Woods
It is important because people sent emails that, “We are listening to such and such person,” who is very popular on the internet, but not maybe from Tariqah and the way of haqaaiq, who is describing all the Signs of Sayyidina Mahdi (a) and people are rushing to go buy farms, to go into the wilderness and to build wells. But, more important than that is that Awliyaullah come into our life and begin to teach us, “If you truly believe the Signs are here, the difficulties are coming, these are very holy souls, holy beings, what makes you think that by running away and sitting out in the woods you are going to be with Sayyidina Mahdi (as)?”
It means your soul has to be able to accompany that reality. Your practises and your level of purity have to be at such a level that Allah (AJ) wants that purity to be around Sayyidina Mahdi (as). Otherwise a bunch of crooks hiding here and there, what they are going to be with Sayyidina Mahdi (as)? That is why the spiritual realm, the ‘kulli shayy’ is all encompassing. That is why Awliya come into our lives and say, “Make your Zikr, make your tafakkur make all your contemplation.”
Take an Account of Your Daily Actions
Most important is the tafakkur and to contemplate so that you take a daily hisab. Yaa Rabbi, “I want to be nothing, let me make a hisab of myself of what is my reality and will I be granted from Your Mercy to be amongst them, to be with them, to see that reality. Or am I something dirty that is going to be washed from this Earth as everything else is going to be washed away with water and with wind? It means the importance in all practises lies in the spiritual (side).
When we practice and build ourselves, cleanse ourselves, and perfect ourselves, you begin to see what Allah (AJ) wants you to see. It means all that you were preparing for, your soul begins to see them. Your soul begins to see Prophet ﷺ; your soul begins to see Awliyaullah (saints), and your soul begins to see Sayyidina Mahdi (as). If your soul is not reaching to that reality and your practises are not building you to be in that reality of Malakut, then why would we think that we are going to be there physically? That is what they want us to understand.
By just physically preparing, but keeping our selves to be the same rotten character, we are not going to see anything. Allah (AJ) describes, and Mawlana Shaykh would remind that even if you are on top of a castle, on top of a mountain, no one is going to escape Allah’s (AJ) Divinely Will. It means every body is going to perish, but what we want to be granted is the blessing to see those holy days, to be in the company of these holy, holy souls.
In the time of Nabi Musa (as) they described, that just to be in the proximity of the Arc of the Covenant you had to be from the Rabbaniyoon. You had to fast three days and then enter into that presence, and those were just stone tablets. What do you imagine for the reality of Sayyidina Mahdi (as)? A holy soul from the Divinely Presence of Allah (AJ), from the lights of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ! It is not going to be easy to approach that reality and to be in the proximity of that reality.
Every Sign of the Last Days Has a Spiritual Reality
So they want us to be from those who are purified, those who are cleansed. Means that every Sign has a spiritual reality and for us to fix our spiritual reality. They say, “The currencies are going to collapse,” well every currency is going to collapse! So then we should not be attached to money. We should not be attached to the material world. If you truly believe you should have preparations for your life. You should have supplies and food in your house. And most important for us is that Allah (AJ) makes us to be purified souls, where our practises are constantly (to be) in contemplation, constantly in meditation. That Yaa Rabbi don’t let me to be purified by your people, I am asking to purify myself, I don’t want to be purified at the hands of people who have no mercy. Because now is coming the cleansing unto Earth where people of no mercy are going after each other, and are slaughtering each other.
We are asking to be from Allah’s (AJ) chosen people, from Allah’s (AJ) loved people, from the Ahlul Muhabbat (people of love), from those who love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ more than they love themselves.
لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ ”.
“La yuminu ahadukum hatta akona ahabba ilayhi min walidihi wa waladihi wan Nasi ajma’yeen.”
“None of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father, his children and all mankind.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
An important reminder for ourselves is that there must be spiritual understanding for all of the Signs. And to implement those spiritual Signs by implementing spiritual practises upon our life so we can see those days and be with those holy souls.
When Does Sayyidina Isa (Jesus) (as) Descend in Damascus?
We pray that in the holy month of Rajab Allah (AJ), (with the veil of) “Subhaana man huwal khaliq an nur”, The month in which pious people are sent into khalwa (seclusion).
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ الْخَالِقَ النُّورْ
Subhana man huwal Khaliq an Nur
Glory to Him who is the Creator, the Light.
Allah (AJ) is sending these lights, blessing these lights because there is no time. Most important for us to (understand) that for everything we are doing, there is no time. They describe there is a place in Damascus and from its minaret Sayyidina Isa (Jesus) (as) will be descending. A big question is that if Allah (AJ) has no time, then that light, that reality, must always be happening. Why is it that we are not catching that reality? Because if we stay in had ad-dunya (limits of the physical realm), we are always waiting for the timed event, for the Earth to shift into that time and wait for that experience to happen. But this time is based on the Earth, the Sun and the Moon. Means samaa, samawati wal ardh (heavens and earth); what is happening in the samaa and in the Heavens above the sama, is more important than what is happening on this Earth.
Witness the Holy Souls Now, Don’t Wait for the Destruction of the Earth
Allah It means when we are practising and doing tafakkur, contemplation, and making Zikr, making salah, paying the zakah (charity), all of these intense spiritual practices, it begins to prepare us to witness those events. There must be a witnessing of Sayyidina ‘Isa (as) within the heart of the believers, that that event is always happening. Sayyidina Adam (as) came to Earth, and Sayyidina Adam (as) is eternally coming to Earth with all the souls coming to Earth (at birth) and leaving (at death) eternally.
It means every event from Allah (AJ) has no time. So don’t wait for the timed event and wait for disaster and destruction to fill the Earth and say, “I want to be with Sayyidina Mahdi (as).” But through the spiritual practises, contemplation and tafakkur, and purification, your heart begins to witness that reality. If we can reach with Malakut and reach from the level of the soul, then we should find ourselves (reaching) with the physicality, no problem.
May Allah (AJ) Keep us Under the Nazar of Prophet ﷺ & Imam Mahdi (as) & Awliya
We pray that Allah (AJ)blesses us and dresses us and always keeps us under the feet of Awliyaullah. The Awliya (saints) of this time, alhamdulillah for this area is Mawlana Shaykh, may Allah (AJ)dress him and bless him and give him sanctity. Allah (AJ)is the Protector! And they are coming against Holy Qur’an, they are challenging Holy Qur’an. That Allah (AJ)is teaching us that: for My Awliyaullah they have no fear and no grief.
أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّـهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ﴿٦٢﴾
10:62 – “Ala inna Awliyaa Allahi la khawfun ‘alayhim wa la hum yahzanona.” (Surat Yunus)
“No Doubt, Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor do they grieve.” (Jonah, 10:62)
And if you declare war against them, Allah (AJ)declares war against you. They are asking for Allah’s (AJ) War to come on Earth. They are asking for Allah’s (AJ) War to come on Earth. We pray that Allah (AJ) keeps us under His Shade under the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and under the nazar (gaze) of Sayyidina Mahdi (as).
