00:00A Lot of questions regarding Imam Mahdi and the dajjal energies and the dajjal movement
00:22upon this earth and the just of that is that we have to bring that reality into ourself
00:29and to make ourselves from that reality otherwise all the locations in the world and understanding
00:34this location that location nothing saves us but the good character that we put upon
00:40ourself that Allah by virtue of those realities dresses the servant and grants them a protection
00:48inshaAllah.
00:49Do you have any questions for tonight?
00:53Say this a few personal ones.
00:58No questions?
00:59Yeah they're probably better for the email.
01:01Yeah better that anyone has a question that would be more of a personal nature then help
01:07me at nurmuhammad.com inshaAllah on specific issues of that they would be related to only
01:16their person and not to a general question on the meditation on the practices on the wazifah
01:23ﷺ.
01:24Anything else?
01:25As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi, is it possible that one is facing difficulties often due to
01:36not having a strong connection with the shaykh?
01:40The question was, is it possible that one faces lots of difficulties because they don't
01:50have a strong connection with the shaykh?
01:53Alaykum As salaam inshaAllah that always can be a possibility that the connection and say
02:03that why Allah for Nabi Musa appeared as a burning bush and had Nabi Musa not been in
02:14a condition of cold, he probably wouldn't be looking for a burning bush.
02:22Had he been hot I think the last thing he would want to approach was something hot.
02:27And for us is the symbolism that for every condition that we're in Allah has an opening.
02:34Many people are in difficult conditions and Allah is granting an opening that go to the
02:40shaykhs.
02:41So they become like a door in which most in their time of life would not search for a reality,
02:49a solution, a group of people who are maybe more in love with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ than
02:57themselves.
02:59Whatever they were perceiving they probably wouldn't have looked for that without the
03:04difficulty that has come into their lives.
03:07So for many it's an opening towards a door.
03:11Now once they enter into that presence, enter into those associations for them to have continued
03:19difficulties and for many that we've talked to and given advice, yes they didn't actually
03:26take the practices on… they never tell you that too, they just keep saying, oh what
03:30I'm doing is so many difficulties coming, so many difficulties… and then you talk to
03:34them later and communicate, not talk to them by phone because we don't take phone calls.
03:40A lot of people ask and we have a WhatsApp and make a phone call with you, can you imagine
03:44thousands of phone calls where we just have to have a switchboard all day and night 24 hours
03:49a day taking phone calls.
03:51The easiest way is through the email because there are people who can filter it and give
03:59us something so that we can respond to, there's a whole system that's been built into it.
04:04But the understanding was that as soon as you communicate with the people, well actually
04:09Shaykh you know I'm doing reiki and I'm not really doing your wazifa and my grandparents
04:16gave me these other three other things I recite.
04:18So by time I get to those, I don't really get to this and I'm doing this and I'm doing
04:22all these different practices.
04:24Only later they tell you that they're not really doing the naqshbandi practices, they
04:30kind of mix and match and make their own soup.
04:33So of course it's like a doctor's office.
04:35If you go to a doctor and it's you know like a Harvard med school, the highest school of
04:42medicine and then all its accreditations and you go to that office and you get the advice
04:48and you walk out and don't listen to any of it, you can only blame yourself for the sicknesses
04:53and difficulties you face.
04:56And if you take their advice and mix it with five other doctors, a little bit from Karachi,
05:01somewhere from this one, somewhere from this one, yeah I can imagine what kind of you know
05:06again it becomes like a stew just mixed with everything, my grandmother said to recite this,
05:12my brother-in-law said to recite this, the mailman he came by he gave me wazifa for this
05:16and then… and I threw in some of the things that you said too Shaykh.
05:22So that becomes the difficulty.
05:26Now if you're doing all the practices and you're sticking firmly to these wazifas, you're
05:32doing the meditations, you're building your energy and partitioning your time to make
05:38that connection and the significant difficulty has not ceased that would be pretty astonishing.
05:49So that is a rare, rare case.
05:54And even the ones who say, no, no I stopped everything but no they really didn't because
05:58then they go here, they go there, they don't cover, they don't keep the
06:02sunnah, they don't keep wudu, they eat from this, they eat from that.
06:06So I mean there's all these places in which difficulties are entering and into people.
06:12But the main thing is you try your best in life and the rest is to be patient with what
06:18Allah is sending of whatever testing Allah is sending.
06:23So it gives us a sabr and a patience and if we have istiqam and firmness in our belief
06:29and we want to do more, we want to be vigilant in doing the practices then that's a grant
06:34from Allah that we become firm.
06:38Some people need outside motivational forces to make them believe unfortunately.
06:45What we call proactive and reactive, is that the correct understanding?
06:55Proactive – somebody who doesn't need any difficulty and will take all the steps necessary
07:00to make sure they're good, they're set.
07:05Reactive personality is the one who waits for something to hit them then they say, now
07:09it's time to get up.
07:11And then when they're up they wait for another thing to hit them and they say, oh now it's
07:14time to move a little bit forward.
07:17Those types of characters are you know that's unfortunately, that's unfortunate that they're
07:22they are like that.
07:24That it's better to be more that proactive, I'm going to take necessary moves so that nothing
07:28hits me.
07:29InshaAllah.
07:30As Salaamu Alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum As Salaam wa rehmatullah
07:38When a student sins in any way does it weigh on the shaykh in a bad way?
07:43Forgive me if I ask something wrong.
07:44As Salaam wa rehmatullah.
07:46When the student what?
07:48When a student sins.
07:51When the student sins, does it weigh upon the shaykh in a bad way?
07:57Yeah, yeah I mean you know they say the shaykh and the students who don't like you and you
08:05say that on air then they all want to go and do sins thinking they're hurting you.
08:10But that's not the reality.
08:12The reality is that it doesn't look good for the shaykh and especially if the shaykh is
08:19not teaching anything that, oh your students are all you know doing these crazy things,
08:23they have bad character, they're angry, they go around and you know exhibit a character
08:31more like a gangster than a mureed then yes then that would reflect upon the shaykh.
08:39So we've given an example, if you go into a store and you see the employees are very
08:44mean, very aggressive and really bad character I guarantee you the manager is bad.
08:53Because they're reflections of his character or her character that the manager has a disrespect
08:59for people and an inappropriate way to teach and as a result all of the lower managers are
09:06picking up that same characteristic and they put it out onto anyone who comes into the store
09:12and that's human nature.
09:14And if you go somewhere and the people are so polite, so kind and so loving I can guarantee
09:19that the manager is that way.
09:22And that 100% is the case you see the manager comes out and tries to resolve everything themselves.
09:28So same understanding that if the shaykh is teaching with a good character with love
09:34and with muhabbat and that's why it's you know 90% are not teaching muhabbat, they're
09:40teaching usool and thinking that only the Islamic laws matter but they didn't or they forgot
09:47that this law was supposed to lead you somewhere.
09:52The goal wasn't the Islamic law, the goal was that if you applied these laws on you, you
09:59would have raised yourself, your resonance and frequency and energy to the oceans of muhabbat
10:06and that's why we talked in the levels of the nafs.
10:10Levels of the nafs from five, six, seven are all Allah's oceans of muhabbat and love in
10:16which Allah dresses the soul with the reality of Divinely names, the reality of how everything
10:22is created from love and from this ocean of love everything is manifesting.
10:29So that is important that the shaykh has to be of that character, that everything is based
10:36on love with good character and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
10:41As a result of that then they're picking up those characteristics and that they're constantly
10:47being disciplined and taught that please have good characteristic, have good characteristics.
10:53And we talked last night that a shaykh from a distance just teaching and no interaction
10:59with people is very difficult.
11:01So in old times and not so old times you'd go to Mawlana Shaykh and he has a farm and
11:09lefkeh and he has orange fields and sheeps and the products that a farm would have and everybody
11:18who came had to go out into the farm with the products that they have.
11:24So you went out into the orchard, you did your sheep, you did your grass cutting and all the
11:30other things that you do on a farm.
11:32And the interaction with that student and now the shaykhs because the shaykh had his representatives
11:38out in the field of the guy who didn't want to cut the oranges, the guy who didn't
11:42do the sheep correctly, the one who didn't want to do… and all of that interaction was
11:47a way for the student to find that their characteristics and oh I came to sit with the shaykh and get
11:52knowledges, why am I cleaning the sheep now?
11:56So all of these were a way in which to test the student.
12:01You come to submit and you came to give your bayat not take bayat because give means I'm
12:08going to give myself to this reality, I'm not going to take from it everything.
12:13So there was a whole reality of the turuqs, well everything shuts down and people are following
12:20from thousands of miles across, Allah opens a different way.
12:25So that you interact with the center, you interact with the emails, you interact with the items
12:30that we have, we don't have oranges and sheep and hay we have online stores and online items
12:37and merchandise and whatever it is that we have, charity we have, all of these things
12:43that we have it opens for the ability to interact now with students.
12:48People get angry that, what's like this and how come I emailed and nobody emailed me back?
12:54That's the equivalent of being in the field and saying that, I didn't come here to pick
12:58oranges for you, I came here to get you know answers from you.
13:03And tariqah is more about it doesn't matter why you came, whatever you came was the reason
13:08and how they brought you.
13:11But that doesn't mean that's what Allah wanted for you, Allah wanted you to be attracted
13:16to them, go towards them and now let them test you and show you what type of characteristics
13:23you have within yourself.
13:25Before they would come to the zikr and they would be angry that the food is late and we
13:29said many times when you tell people, look this is in a soup kitchen, you'll get the
13:34food when the food is served.
13:36And all this is showing is that you're impatient and you have anger issues and that's what
13:42God wanted you to see at the zikr, that you came to remember God but you're impatient
13:48and angry and that was the medicine, that was exactly exactly what was needed for that servant
13:54but they didn't pick it up and they just got angry when the food wasn't on time.
13:58So every interaction with the tariqah at any level is a test for the student.
14:03It didn't come on time, who cares?
14:06It's all under Allah's permission, it's testing sabr and patience.
14:10How can anything be on time in the middle of a pandemic when you can't go five feet
14:15without the doors being closed?
14:17You know people are being closed in now with police outside saying that you're not allowed
14:21to go out, so it requires immense patience for everything.
14:27And if we want Allah and we want our heart to be a Ka'bah that has to be clean and pure.
14:33Anger is the opposite of faith, every instance of anger has to be destroyed until whatever
14:40sparks in that person is not from anger.
14:43Because whatever sparks of anger now are all ifrit in the air, millions of shaitans are
14:50in the air of people and that's why when they breathe them in they're dying.
14:54What you call COVID.
14:57So when these shaitans are coming and into the people, as soon as they have this fire of
15:02anger these shaitans completely override the person and make them to go amazingly crazy.
15:12And that's the danger.
15:14Until that's taken away and the servant's heart is a Ka'bah, is the purity and the love
15:20of Allah .
15:22Then Allah will open for them the sincerity of their soul to have an immense love for
15:27Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
15:30And if they have an immense love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ then who do you think they would
15:34be searching for?
15:35Do you think anyone out there who has an immense love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ can
15:42be fed from something other than awliyaullah?
15:47You want the most specific food Allah has created, the most specific love that Allah
15:54has created.
15:56All you want is to hear about a Muhammadan reality if you're truly in love with Prophet ﷺ.
16:03There's no food, there's no knowledge that can satisfy you other than those haqqaiqs.
16:09And when they… in that type of love they seek out awliya .
16:15So when they would sit with Shaykh Nazim the immensity of the love that would pour from
16:19his heart.
16:20The immensity of that you look at him and say that this is a reflection of Prophet ﷺ.
16:26And this is how I imagined Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to be, that he would be so kind and loving
16:33that people would be attracted by just the loving nature of that reality and that was
16:39important.
16:40So of course the love of Allah would have guided you to love Prophet ﷺ.
16:46So when you see somebody's talking and he's not talking, we said now the masjids of Allah
16:52, there's no more name of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ inside of them.
16:58There's not a masjid you go to where somebody will stand up and begin to talk about Sayyidina
17:04Muhammad ﷺ.
17:05Means the Ahlul Sunnah is vanishing except in certain areas in certain countries alhamdulillah.
17:13Without mentioning Prophet ﷺ, without teaching about Prophet ﷺ, not… they don't want
17:18to talk about the hadith that your head has to be covered, they don't want to talk about
17:22hadith that you have to have beard, they don't want to talk about the good character and the
17:26good love.
17:27Why?
17:28Because they're not doing it.
17:29How could you talk about something to an audience that you're not doing and you don't
17:32look like it?
17:33So they're no longer Ahlul Hadith, they become Ahlul Qur'an only.
17:38And so then 90% of the masjids just become Qur'an and the imam and the imam has no head cover,
17:44has no beard, has no example of the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and no more imamiyyah.
17:52He's not representing the imam, he's not representing the image of the imam and all he won't talk
17:58about is Allah in the Qur'an.
18:01So now already we're at that stage that the Prophet ﷺ described in last days that
18:06the masjids wouldn't mention me anymore and already we're in that phase that it become
18:11less and less and less unless they're strong in tariqahs and as a result they're all strong
18:18in Ahlul Sunnah.
18:19If you look at them all of them have shaykhs.
18:21And as a result as soon as they go, remember it's all talking about the greatness of Sayyidina
18:26Muhammad ﷺ and they keep the sunnah alive, they keep the love alive, they keep the reality
18:32alive and that's why they all, all went and levitated to the ulul amr and to awliyaullah
18:40and to be from Ahlul Shams Sharif inshaAllah.
18:43As Salaamu Alaykum Ya Sayyidi.
18:46As Salaamu Alaykum As Salaam wa rehmatullah.
18:51Regarding location, should we seek to live in a location where we can practice our Islam
18:57most easily?
18:58For example, in a certain country hijab is not allowed in school.
19:04Wa alaykum As Salaam.
19:14Right now you can't move anywhere because of the difficulties and lockdowns and all the
19:21things that are coming.
19:23And in most Muslim countries they are not allowing even the following of Islam.
19:32So that becomes more and more rare as far as where can somebody go to freely practice
19:39their religion.
19:40So far the freest now is the west, it's where we're all living they have no intervention
19:46into the religion and people are free to worship the way they want to worship.
19:52For now everything is safe wherever people are and wherever Allah has written for them
19:56to be.
19:58Where can somebody move and know if that's going to be a danger, that's going to be a
20:02difficulty.
20:03Again most Muslim countries they don't allow even the true practice of Islam anyways.
20:10You can't have a beard in some Muslim countries, you can't walk around with kufi and all your
20:15belief.
20:16Because they've figured that why are you like this and why are you believing like this
20:20and why you look like this in this age.
20:22So these are very difficult times in which to find an island of peace.
20:31But most important is that people find that peace within themselves.
20:36That to have their practices, their zikrs, to make their connection, to make the children
20:41to see the connection, to feel the connection, to do the zikr.
20:45That the children be raised bi ahl al-zikr when they're hearing the zikr and they're reciting
20:50and getting the PDF the salawat book and print it out and every Thursday, Friday or Saturday
20:57or one of the nights every week.
21:01Have the kids sit down with the salawat book and make the salawat.
21:04So these lights enter into their hearts into their being and the reality is more important
21:11than looking for a country that we can run to and you may choose the wrong one and the
21:15location and difficulty is coming to that area and region.
21:20So best to… for everybody to stay put until Allah opens it makes things more clear as
21:28far as what's going on and where things are going on.
21:31But everybody is good wherever Allah has put them inshaAllah.
21:36Sayyidi, is it bad to be excited about the end times and the calamities coming to end
21:45the satanic kingdom and kingdom of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ coming to earth?
21:50Yeah, I don't know if it's the term to be happy but we are happy with the judgment of our Lord.
22:06That Allah said the best of nations would be the nations in the last days for the difficulties
22:13they would face and the immensity of love they would have for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and
22:20that they would be immense lovers of Prophet ﷺ.
22:23Prophet ﷺ described to his companions that the nation in the last days they would be my
22:30ahbab.
22:32And the holy companions they were shocked and they said, I thought we're your lovers.
22:37They said, no you're my sahabi.
22:39I'm with you and of course you love me and following me and you're with me.
22:45A nation is coming in the last days that they have never seen me and they would give everything
22:51in their life for one glance, one glance of me, they're my ahbab.
23:11They give everything in the way of Prophet ﷺ and that's a title that Allah has granted
23:19for the nation of the last days to be ahbab and Nabi ﷺ, to be lovers.
23:26We pray that Allah grant us that title, grant us that reality to make us to be for
23:31ma'ashigin and ahbab and Nabi ﷺ.
23:34And awliyaullah come and teach that the time that Prophet ﷺ described that to the holy
23:40companions, their spiritual ruhaniyat were at that time ordered to keep a nazar.
23:48Because of their love for Prophet ﷺ, he described to them the immensity of love.
23:59And their immense love for Prophet ﷺ to make him happy, they all lent their ruhaniyat and
24:07their souls to keep their spiritual nazar on the nation that Prophet ﷺ had shown them.
24:14He showed them that these are the souls of the ones who are becoming on last days and
24:20they're my lovers.
24:23And as a result those sahabi kiram their nazar is attached to those souls.
24:29So from that time their nazar has been watching us, dressing us, blessing us.
24:36The Prophet ﷺ loves you and you love Prophet ﷺ ﷺ and we give our support for you to reach
24:42the destiny that you have to reach.
24:44So that Prophet ﷺ's riddhan satisfaction to be dressed upon you.
24:50So it's an immense blessing.
24:53That alhamdulillah anybody should feel as the highest gift that Allah can give to creation.
25:03Is that gift of love and the attention of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, the attention of Ashab
25:09Nabi ﷺ to be upon us, the attention of Ahlul Bayt to be upon us.
25:14For that alhamdulillah and the only thing we pray that Allah's mercy and rahmah be upon
25:21any type of punishment and difficulty and the extent of difficulty that will be coming onto
25:27this earth, the extent of death and perishing that comes upon this earth.
25:33We pray that Allah deal with us all and all our loved ones and children and family and
25:37communities with the immense rahmah and mercy and keep us under the intercession of Sayyidina
25:43Muhammad ﷺ.
25:44InshaAllah ila sharifin Nabi ﷺ ﷺ wa ala mishaykhina fi tariqatin ashbandiyyat al-'Aliyyah
25:52wa sairu wa sadatina wa siddukin al-Fatiha.
