-
InshaAllah, what we got from SMC family, all the
people out there? MashAllah, all their service,
-
everybody trying so hard, mashAllah, everything
great, alhamdulillah. Life of khidmat and service,
-
there should be questions on that. And as soon
as you enter into khidmat (service) there's
-
going to be testing, and when there's
testing, the servant is to remain silent,
-
not complain. The tariqah (spiritual path) is
not based on complaining, anyone complaining is
-
not learning the way. There's no complaint, is
everything has to be sabr and patience. They...
-
through patience and patience and perseverance,
Allah (AJ) dress with a beatific fragrance upon
-
the soul. When Allah (AJ) describe, ‘Have
you seen the servant whom they walk on a
-
broken path upright?’ Means alhamdulillah,
Allah (AJ) with me, everything broken,
-
not everything on their face, every expression
upon their face. If they're sad, you see it,
-
if they're... they want to do like this, and every
emotion is on their face. That tariqah is no,
-
you're always happy, Allah (AJ) is with you, you
don't need to get emotions from people, they don't
-
give you anything. So it means it's kholoq,
it’s all about the character, inshaAllah.
-
Sayyidi, the first question was about
senses, but you already answered that.
-
Alhamdulillah. How does that happen? Huh? When
you come to tariqah (spiritual path), if what
-
the shaykh teaches doesn't resonate with you,
leave. You're wasting your time. Go, the door
-
is open. Don't waste your time. But if you come
and your heart resonates, means you're on the same
-
frequency. The Lord who created you and makes this
mouth to move is but one and destined for us…
-
As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
It’s Shaykh Nurjan.

As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
-
…to sit in the same room. Say, ‘This issue you
have, his mouth now going to talk about it.’
-
But if the heart is not resonating, this mouth
will never address your issue. You're on the wrong
-
channel, wrong place. That's why we say this place
is based on the heart, not based on force. If it
-
doesn't resonate with your heart, you're somewhere
else; you're not interested. Don't waste your
-
time; go somewhere else. Allah (AJ) made the world
to be vast, and that's why they don't have to stay
-
and then start making bad comments and start to be
aggressive. For what? Go, go somewhere else. But
-
those whom they resonate, then they begin to see
everything like lock and keys coming into place.
-
Everything is coming into place. Because the
same One who inspires us ‘Sit down tonight’,
-
we sit down, and the same one is inspiring what's
going to be spoken. There's no script; there's
-
nothing written. It's all coming by whatever is
needed to the audience and to ourselves. Always
-
we speak to ourselves first, and if anyone in
the audience is on the same page and same tune,
-
they're getting what they need, and they
hear what they need from these realities,
-
inshaAllah. This is tariqah, inshaAllah.
And Sayyidi, this was from a question from
-
a new person; this is their first
year participating in the zikrs.
-
Okay, good
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
-
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi, are we fasting with our
-
senses when we are being of khidmat
and service under our shaykh?
-
When you do your khidmat… are you saying that if
you fast with your senses, that's a khidmat? Or
-
when you do khidmat, you fast with your senses?
They’re two different things we're talking about.
-
The fasting is that we're asking that Ramadan
not be hunger. Some people just they say crazy,
-
they speak crazy, they look at crazy things,
but they're just hungry all day. This is not a
-
Ramadan. I don't know what the purpose of that is
other than hunger. They enter Ramadan hungry and
-
they finish like it was buffet every night. The
concept of Ramadan must be a immensely spiritual
-
powerful experience, and we make it powerful by
all our senses fasting because we're trying to
-
imitate the way of awliya (saints). Khidmat means
every type of service we do, and the service is in
-
the way of Allah (AJ), Prophet ﷺ, and the tariqah.
We said, you know, servicing yourself is not the
-
same, that everyone loves to do. So that's not
the service. The service is when I want to serve
-
the tariqah, how can I serve the tariqah. And
that's where our life secret relies. If you
-
don't want to serve the tariqah, no problem,
then don't expect any secrets. This life of
-
darajat (spiritual rank) is based on service.
So this was what was trained by us and what
-
we experience in our own lives. And that's why we
show up. If it wasn't like that, then people would
-
just retire after a certain amount of years; you
would never see them again. But life is a khidmat.
-
This was the promise and what was taken that,
‘Okay, we open for this, but are you going to
-
serve this creation and these ‘ashiqeen (lovers)
and these people whom Allah (AJ) want them to
-
reach to this love and to this reality?’ So, as
was taught to us, our responsibility is to teach
-
to people. That's the important part to meditate,
it's not sitting on Surah YaSeen and pondering all
-
its secrets and now all the secrets are going
to come to you. It was going out and helping
-
people, it was washing the masjid, was cleaning
the dishes, to do programs, to give out food.
-
That opened a rahmah (mercy). So when the servant
sits, now the knowledges are flowing into their
-
heart. So it's never one for one, where I sit and
now all the secrets of Qur'an will come to me. No,
-
no. Allah (AJ) say: ‘Go out and do the other
thing then We send from ways that you could never
-
imagine to your heart,’ inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
-
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi, do you recommend a specific
-
translation of Qur'an for us to read in English,
or is the version in the app sufficient?
-
You can find anyone. I think the version in the
app we're trying to work on and fix. There's even
-
verses missing in English. So they're trying
to get all the data fixed and uploaded. But
-
we said before that we're living in a time that
the shaykhs who given tafsir (interpretation),
-
they changed from the grave. Yusuf Ali was Ahlus
Sunnah (People of Prophetic Tradition) Shaykh, but
-
those people in that region, they changed
all his tafsirs, and anyone who manipulates
-
a tafsir can change the hearts and minds
of people. So if you look at Qur'an,
-
they don't translate ‘Wali’ and ‘Awliya’ (saints),
they play with translations. So this becomes very
-
difficult in the last days when immense amount of
converts are coming in and the converts will argue
-
with you based on English. Say, ‘What are you
talking about? It doesn't say this in Qur’an.’
-
‘Hold on, you read this in Arabic?'
'No, no, I read this in English.'
-
‘But the English is this guy's interpretation.
He left out all the key words because he didn't
-
believe in these words,' and then they're kind
of like baffled. So, then there's no more debate.
-
Now, look at how there's not a single Hadith that
has transliteration. Why? Because this the Hadith,
-
holy Hadith is the key to the Qur'an. They made
it like you know the Catholics did with Latin,
-
that if you're not a master of Arabic, you
can't understand the knowledges. So they
-
stop transliterating. They don't even allow the
transliteration of holy Hadith so that all the
-
converts could read it, understand what Prophet
ﷺ is saying. Those were then the keys to opening
-
the ayatul Qur'an (the verse of Holy Qur’an).
So everyone sort of kind of look at what they
-
can, inshaAllah keep, you know, an open heart with
the app and look at the Qur'an verses in English,
-
match it then with the transliteration so
that we understand the Arabic words and from
-
our teachings, and alhamdulillah, slowly,
slowly, slowly, slowly reading through it.
-
Find one that works, Shaykh Tahir Qadiri made
a translation very strong, very beautiful. So
-
wherever people can get a hold of his translation
of Qur'an and his strong Ahlus Sunnah strong
-
belief and belief of awliya. So, inshaAllah
Allah (AJ), help us as people are manipulating
-
and the munafiqeen (hypocrites) have taken over
the faith and sold the faith, and they banned
-
the iftar (breaking fast).
That was the next question,
-
that was the next question.
Yeah, can you imagine we live
-
in a time now people should really be preparing.
You have gold set aside, food set aside, and all
-
these supplies set aside, and the dajjal (man of
deceit) is here. He's now preparing to cut his red
-
heifer and as a result of making his sacrifice
and burning those ashes, they're going to build
-
the temple. But unfortunately, there's already
a community there so somebody's going to go. And
-
that's why we said structures are going, but
if it's Allah (AJ) that you worship it’s right
-
here in the heart. So we’re not a people whom are
locked on to the physical world. So, the physical
-
world we know is collapsing, locations will be
collapsing but Allah (AJ) resides within the
-
heart of His servant. And those whom have the
love and ishq of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ should
-
be standing very strong because
their masjids will become more
-
powerful. As the masjids of dunya (material
world) and the locations of dunya and all the
-
dunya things collapse, the hearts of the
servants of Allah (AJ) become much more
-
powerful. Means ‘Izzatullah (Allah’s (AJ) Might
and Magnificence) begin to enter onto this Earth
-
and this is what they're waiting for that Allah's
(AJ) Might and Majesty begin to open within the
-
hearts of His servants and that Allah's (AJ)
kingdom be known. When Allah's (AJ) kingdom
-
be known then the game is on but right now
everything is low profile, inshaAllah.
-
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi.
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.
-
You've been speaking about masjids for the
last few weeks. What is happening in the
-
world when they are banning iftar in the
holy mosque and among other things?
-
Yeah, the unholy. The unholy have taken the
deen (religion) and sold it. So this is,
-
you know, the difference between when you
run Las Vegas and then you run the two
-
holy custodian of the two holy sanctuaries; you're
not the same. So that title is no longer theirs;
-
they have to take that title off their names. And
that, you know, I think Allah (AJ) won't be happy.
-
You keep that title and then you want to make your
place like it's Las Vegas and open and every type
-
of forbidden to start entering? This is not the
responsibility of that title. So it shows now
-
that you're not worthy of that title. This is… the
people cannot be asleep anymore. That people wake
-
up and they say, 'Oh, wooh...' Because, you know
that the love for Prophet ﷺ gave people such a
-
reverence for that area, thinking, 'Oh, everything
they do is great,' not really understanding what
-
Sufis were always teaching and the people of
reality were teaching. No, no, no, these people
-
are imposters; these are not the representatives
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. And so now they're taking
-
their position and they're going to bring people
in that want to overtake those locations and they
-
want to purify it. That's not a good sign. So a
lot of things are happening. A lot of things are
-
happening for those whom are awake, and if they're
awake, then they should be busy making their heart
-
connection, doing everything that Allah (AJ) wants
from them and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ to
-
be happy with them. And that's what we said is
character. It's not memorizing; it's not doing
-
this and doing that and going here and going
there, but having good character. If I hang
-
around people with bad character, bad character
is extremely contagious. If you hang around with
-
people who have ta’oon and the plague, there's
not going to be a surprise when you come back one
-
day and say, 'No I have the plague now.' So bad
character, extremely contagious. Good character,
-
hard to achieve. So it's not the same. Good
character, you have to fight to have good
-
character. Bad character, you go to two places,
you come out talking like them. It was contagious;
-
it jump onto your tongue and jump into your heart,
and you're talking like they were talking. Good
-
character's not so easy that, 'Oh, I'll sit with
them and I'll come out talking good.' No, no, no,
-
good character is years of fighting and fighting
and fighting against yourself and your devils so
-
that your good character will shine within the
heart of the servant. So when you did all that
-
work to have good character, would you go out
and hang out with bad people knowing that their
-
sickness is very contagious? I did all that work
for all those years, and in two times of sitting
-
with them, I'm going to start talking like
them? I said these groups, they get together,
-
they have no knowledge. Now they want to enter
into subjects that going to burn them: who's this,
-
who's that, did they get to paradise or did
they not get to paradise? Oh these subjects
-
are forbidden subjects. Just worry about yourself
getting into paradise and increasing your love for
-
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
-
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi as Ramadan is the month of the
-
sultanate – the kingdom, is the kingdom
of God coming down in this month?
-
The kingdom of God is always coming down; the
kingdom of God is the reality of Sayyidina
-
Muhammad ﷺ. So that's all these teachings: is that
the light of Prophet ﷺ is coming, is entered onto
-
this Earth. But that kingdom opening with all its
rules is with the arrival of Sayyidina Mahdi (as).
-
Right? Because the kingdom of Allah (AJ) its
lights and its realities established with the
-
presence of Prophet ﷺ. As we said, the religion
of Allah (AJ) is Islam. So, as soon as Prophet ﷺ
-
physicality arrived, the kingdom of Allah (AJ)
arrived upon this Earth. Now, for it to open,
-
then is the destruction of the satanic kingdom
and that's with Sayyidina Mahdi (as). And that
-
becomes then a huge heavenly event in which
the heavenly realities overtake the darkness
-
of shaitan (satan) and whatever shaitan
has established upon this Earth and its
-
fitna (confusion) and from realms that we can't
understand, from seen and unseen. Shaitan's fitna,
-
dajjal’s fitna is not what people can
understand; it's from unseen and from
-
many different realities. That which
mankind don't know, they don't focus on,
-
they've never done seclusions. You know that when
a shaykh enters seclusion, the biggest event he
-
has is unseen events. Is not he sit there, now
they bring a dinner for him, some bread for him,
-
and he has to busy himself making zikr (Divine
remembrance), trying to entertain himself:
-
'What I'm going to do for the next 40 hours,
20 hours?' As soon as they enter in seclusion,
-
they're bombarded with attacks from things they
never understood, never saw and never realized.
-
And then Allah (AJ) say, 'This is My kingdom.' So,
when Allah (AJ) loves the servant, He familiarizes
-
them with His kingdom, and His kingdom is vast
and unknown to men. So, it's not what we see;
-
what we see is but a delusion and illusion. So
that's what we said, everything is of a different
-
nature, different reality. So, we talked before
even about the Fallen Angels: who is Harut and
-
Marut? At what time did the Harut and Marut come
down? So, it means that these angels that came and
-
didn't understand the testing when they had asked
because the in... the effect of shaitan on their
-
knowledges, because they were listening to Azazil.
And as a result of listening to him through a
-
tainted and dirty heart, they become tainted
with his knowledges and his character. When
-
Allah (AJ) named the khalifa (representative),
they said, 'Oh, why you make this khalifa when
-
he's going to make a lot of Bloodshed?' Means
they had been tainted now by Azazil - shaitan’s
-
bad character. Otherwise, the angels don't talk
like that; they don't question Allah (AJ). When
-
that occurred, then Harut and Marut were then
two angels thinking that, ‘It's not so big deal,
-
this human life of theirs,’ and we described
that story before. And then Allah (AJ) say,
-
'Okay, I'll give you Ismullah (Name of Allah
(AJ)), Ismullah al-Azam and you descend onto
-
this Earth. And when necessary and your testing
is finished, you use this name and come back
-
up.' And as soon as they descended onto the
Earth, they drank, they fornicated, they killed
-
in but one day. Then repenting, crying, asking
Allah's (AJ) forgiveness, trying to use the
-
name they had to go back and Allah (AJ) blocked
everything, says, 'You are forbidden from entering
-
into this realm.' And as a result, they went into
the cave of Babel. The angels took them, Harut
-
Marut, into the well of Babel. And in that well,
they've been hung upside-down to the last days.
-
And as a result, the source of immense black
magics, immense black magics based on them,
-
and they don't dispel the magic without a warning
that you will be destroyed by Allah (AJ) if you
-
take this knowledge. And these men line up
to take that knowledge. So that first war,
-
where is the well of Babel? In Babylonia, in Iraq.
That first war was to secure that well, and the
-
minute they entered into that war, the first
area they took was that well, safe-guarded it,
-
closed it all off, and began to send cousins into
the well whom wanted the knowledge of shaitan.
-
And they were flown on special flights into that
region to take those knowledges. Because we said,
-
the door of Allah (AJ) was closed. Means,
those who don't listen to Allah (AJ) have
-
no access to Allah (AJ). Those who
do harm and bad, and bad character,
-
they have no access to Allah (AJ). When access
to Allah (AJ) is lost, who comes to give access?
-
Shaitan. So when you lose the rope of the heavens,
you take the rope of jahannam (hellfire). And that
-
was the whole purpose of that region: was to
take those areas and take those knowledges and
-
go in and out taking its realities so that they
could prepare for their dajjal to arrive and the
-
knowledges that the dajjal was going to put upon
this Earth. So many, many things are happening.
-
And this… the Earth is not what we think, and
people are not what we think, inshaAllah.
-
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
-
Sayyidi, if angels are programmed only to
follow Allah's (AJ) orders, how were they
-
able to be tainted by shaitan? Does that mean
even angels aren't protected from shaitan?
-
No, at that time they were taking knowledges.
That was a test for them. That as Azazil was a
-
jinn (unseen being), and as his worshipness was
increasing, he was rising. And as he was rising
-
to the realm of malaika, he was speaking and
teaching haqqaiqs and realities. And as a result
-
of what he was teaching, and Allah (AJ) knows,
Allah (AJ) tests His creation. Allah (AJ)… they
-
plan and Allah's (AJ) plan is always supreme.
Allah (AJ) knows the character of Azazil. He knew
-
what was hidden within him that he didn't
know of himself. Instead he thought he was
-
a perfect worshipper, made sujood (prostration)
everywhere; they said not one hand length is not
-
been filled by his sujood. But Allah (AJ)
wanted to expose the bad character, and we
-
have many talks on that people could go back.
That it's not only the knowledge that you take,
-
but it's the glass in which you take it from.
If the person is clean, the person is sincere,
-
the person has love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ,
you're taking a knowledge from a clear glass.
-
But just because I want to take knowledge, if the
glass is dirty and poisonous, you’ll become sick.
-
That's why I say, 'Oh, but this guy wears the...
but he speaks these amazing things.' Yeah, that's
-
a pointed... poisoned glass. The juice may be very
alluring to you. Say: ‘Oh such an amazing drink,’
-
but from that cup it's going to kill you because
the character of that person is tainted on that
-
glass to poison the individual. And as the angels
were being poisoned by Azazil, Allah (AJ) wanted
-
to bring it out and to show them. That, ‘When
you take your source of information from that
-
which is not pure in character, but I'll show
you the character by giving the command bow
-
down’. The angels bowed down, and Azazil didn't
bow. So all his life of bowing was for what
-
if one time Allah (AJ) asks something, and he
doesn't do it? And as a result, been cast down,
-
and those angels were cast down with him and
became his supporters and put upon this Earth
-
in which they spread their fitna and every type
of badness upon this Earth. That was the lesson.
-
After the lesson everyone understood. After
Harut Marut, then the angels were trembling
-
because Allah (AJ) wanted to show them free will
is not something you can carry. Right? Because
-
angels don't understand the greatness
of Bani Adam (children of Adam). When
-
Allah (AJ) says, “Wa laqad karramna Bani Adam”
– ‘I have given you an immense honor,’ imagine,
-
then the angels whom are of a stagnant nature.
They're like water with no big surprise,
-
they think they're great. Then they look at Bani
Adam and say, 'This guy makes a lot of sins, these
-
people. Why Allah (AJ) favored them?’ With Harut
and Marut, then they were shown that free will
-
is not something people can carry, not creations
can carry it. The angels couldn't carry it for one
-
day. So they at that time understand what type of
test Bani Adam and the progeny of Adam are going
-
through so that to be compassionate towards this
creation and loving towards this creation and to
-
understand their test is difficult, this life is
difficult. Its temptations are overwhelming. And
-
those whom try to ascend to the heaven, Allah
(AJ) wanted these creations that - love them,
-
help them. See how difficult their existence is on
this Earth. And those whom willing to rise within
-
the heavens, then they should be cherished
and loved and helped, inshaAllah. So every,
-
every creation is going to be tested;
there's nothing that doesn't get tested
-
by Allah (AJ), inshaAllah.
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi
-
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah
Sayyidi, can you please expand on
-
when you said, 'Ismuhu dawas wa
zikruhu shafas’ for Ramadan?
-
When did I say that? 'Ismuhu dawas wa zikruhu
shafas’ means that… Ismuhu dawas – 'Your
-
names are my medicine, and my zikr of you is my
healing.' So that is the names of Allah (AJ) and
-
the durood sharif (praising) on Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ. Every durood sharif (praising
-
on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) is a healing upon the
souls of people. So ‘Isma.. Isma qalana’ when
-
we sing all these na’at (prophetic
praising), yeah means that every
-
name of Prophet ﷺ, every durood sharif is a
healing. So this is my healing; this is my
-
medicine. My medicine is to make durood sharif
upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, it is the zikr of
-
Allah (AJ) and it is my salvation. So then
all of these have a… has a deep, deep reality,
-
and we say it in Salatul Fajr (Dawn prayer)
awrad (daily practice). “Kulli da’in wa dawa’in
-
wa barik wa sallim ‘ala. Allahumma salli ‘ala
Sayyidina kulli da’in wa dawa’in”. How we say?
-
Allahumma salli ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin
wa ‘ala ali Sayyidina Muhammad. Bi ‘adadi
-
kulli da’in wa dawa’in wa barik wa
sallim ‘alayhi wa ‘alayhim kathira
-
Yes, that every praising and every medicine is on
the salawat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So this is in
-
our Fajr awrad, this is our whole way. That anyone
wants any type of healing, then in durood sharif.
-
Anyone wants a relief from difficulty,
durood sharif. Anyone wants an opening,
-
durood sharif. Anyone wants ascension, durood
sharif. Anyone wants nothing, durood sharif.
