Salamun qawlan min Rabbin Rahim. "Peace from a Generous Lord". (36:58). To you and your children and those following us. May Allah protect us. May your day be good. May your affairs go well. May you be honored by the Sahib (Mahdi as). May you serve the Sultans. May your homes be festive. I am asking for good health for myself and for you, my son. Fatiha.

Allah Allah. May you be safe. May you be protected, my son. Welcome Sheikh Mehmed Effendi. How are you? Read on me. Today, Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim, is the day of Mawlid Sharif. Isn't it the 14th? The 14th is the day that we were honored by our Master's birth. The nation had been honored. And good health will come to us also. And we have been honored. The magnificent day that Allah Dhul Jalal's Beloved Habib brought honor to the world.

O our Lord, set us free, for his sake. For the sake of Your Habib, give us honor, ya Rabbi. Give health to the sick ones. May holy ones come to bring back those who left the right path. May holy ones and Sultans come who will stop the terrible ones and bring them to the right way, ya Mawla. Fatiha. And may we be with them. May our bodies be free of pain, and free of illness and troubles. Those who keep Allah's way, they will undoubtedly succeed with Allah Almighty's grace.

Those who leave that way will disappear. They will be useless. May Allah not separate us from His Beloved Habib's beautiful way. May He give our bodies health and well-being. This Mawlid Sharif is the holy day and night
during which all those in heavens and earth are happy and rejoicing. The heavens are shining, earth will shine too.

O our Lord, O our Lord, we are weak. Send us a Sultan who will take away our weakness and guide us toward keeping Your way, ya Rabbi. Give our bodies health, ya Rabbi. You will increase the precious grants, O our Mawla. O our Lord, let's say, Bismillahir -Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahi r-Rahmani r-Rahim. Bismillahir-Rahmani r-Rahim. Allahu akbar wa lillahi l-hamd.

We are hoping that after this, kufr, disbelief, atheism, and evil will not continue. A power is coming now. May Allah grant us from that power also. May He give us health and well-being. May He give to you, and your fathers, and to the nation. May we see nice days. Fatiha. Allahu Allah, Allahu Allah, Allahu Rabbi, ma li siwaHu. Allahu Allah, O our Lord, don't allow us to be helpless and weak. Allow us to be with those who keep Your way. Don't leave us to be helpless, ya Rabbi. Give beauty to our children, followers, and friends, ya Rabbi.

May the beauty that You gave to Your Habib be granted to us too, ya Rabbi. May the news from heavens come. May the good news from heavens come. May the Sultans come, so we can be with them. Fatiha. We we open up, may we all open up. Allah. May your life be long. May your service be accepted. May your honor increase, yours and your forefathers. Fatiha.

Is there a congregation (for prayer)? Yes. People are coming. MashaAllah, where are they coming from? Our Lord's grants and grace are many. My son, may your day be good, may it be blessed. May the glory of your fathers increase. And may the honor of your children increase. Salamun alaykum. La ilaha illa Allah. Illa Allah. Sayyidina Muhammadun Rasulullah. Allah.

It will not close, it will open. The way of Allah, the way of His Prophet will open, it won't close. There is no force that can separate us from our Lord's way. Fatiha. On the occasion of this Mawlid Sharif, an opening will come. It will come. It will start in Egypt. Allahu akbar. Ya Rabbi, you know our condition. Fatiha. Is the day of Mawlid today? Didn't we celebrate Mawlid 2 days ago with fireworks? This is different, this is the second Mawlid. There is festivity and rejoicing in the heavens. And the festivity started in Egypt. It started in Egypt. It started in Egypt. Egypt will destroy kufr (unbelief). There is no doubt. Fatiha.

Egypt is the first, even with its power. Egypt is ahead. Wa min Allahi t-tawfiq. "Sawfa tara ithan jalal ghubaru". When the dust clears, you will see "al-farasun tahtaki 'an himaru". Whether your ride is a horse or donkey! They will teach them a lesson. They will teach a lesson to those opposing Islam. Power is coming. Fatiha.

Ziyarah of Wali Songo (q) by Mawlana Shaykh Hisham was Accepted

Haqqani Suhbats: ' Ziyarah of Wali Songo (q) by Mawlana Shaykh Hisham was Accepted
' by Shaykh Hisham Kabbani q.s

Ziyarah of Wali Songo (q) by Mawlana Shaykh Hisham was Accepted
29 December 2013 Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia


 
Suhbah and Baya`
 
Alhamdulillah, one sign, signal came from Wali Songo (q) from Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q), may Allah give him long life. A signal came from that wali to our shaykh that he is very happy with this crowd. Never happened such a ziyarah! That ziyarah has been multiplied as if it was seventy thousand ziyarah for us. He is asking Prophet (s) on our behalf to forgive us and Prophet (s) is presenting us to Allah (swt) for the barakah of that ziyarah.

Wali Songo (q) is a wali in the Naqshbandi Order. He carries many tariqahs, but the main one that came to him in his last days is the Naqshbandi Tariqah. Every one (of the walis here) or downstairs or wherever they are, he is presenting them one-by-one to Prophet (s).

And the ayah says:

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ جَآؤُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُواْ اللّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُواْ اللّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

Wa law annahum idh zhalamoo anfusahum ja’ooka f ’astaghfaroollaaha w ’astaghfara lahumu ‘r-rasoolu la-wajadoo ’Llaaha tawwaaba ‘r-raheema.

If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and asked Allah's forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nisa, 4:64)

Like us, we have too much sins and we come to Prophet (s)! Allah said, “Go to Prophet,” ask Allah forgiveness and let Prophet (s) ask on your behalf for forgiveness. We are asking! He is presenting us to Prophet (s) to ask Allah for forgiveness for us, inshaa-Allah.

We are leaving, but our souls, our spiritual powers, are here because of him; he is asking for our souls to always be in his presence and always represent us to Prophet (s). And anyone who brings a gift to the maqaam, like a carpet, he is appreciating that, because awliyaullah, their presence is how much you show love to them and love is to give something to the maqaam. And I see the maqaam needs to be cleaned and carpeted in order that it will be better. So asking the people to arrange something like that with the city, inshaa-Allah he (Wali Songo) will be more happy and more difficulties will be taken away from the people of Cirebon.

Yaa Sayyidi, Wali Songo! Yaa Habeebullah wa Habeeb ar-Rasoolillahi wa habeeb al-awliya! Ji’nakum  min baladin ba`eeda… We came to you from far away. You are the beloved of Prophet (s) you and the other awliya here. We came from far, from East, from West and you are in the East, but your presence is going to be with us in the West inshaa-Allah.

May Allah swt keep us always with the presence of Prophet (s), with presence of His awliya, with the awliya of this country, these are nine awliya, a very specific number, nine awliyas. May Allah (swt) clean our hearts.

That dhikr we made here is equal to seventy thousand dhikr in another place, and it will be written for us and it will come on Judgment Day that we are dhaakhiroon. 

We are the group of adh-Dhaakhiroon under Mawlana Shaykh Nazim’s support and under Grandshaykh `AbdAllah’s support! We are called by him “adh-Dhaakhiroon”. We are al-Haqqaniyyoon, we are an-Naqshbandiyyoon, we are ar-Rabbaniyyoon, al-Muhammadiyyoon, as-Songoiyyoon! And all under adh-Dhaakiroon:


 الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىَ جُنُوبِهِمْ

Alladheena yadhkuroonallaha qiyaaman wa qu`oodan wa `alaa junoobihim.
Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting and lying down on their sides.
 (Surat Aali `Imraan, 3:191)

May Allah (swt) forgive us and accept from us. Bi hurmati ‘l-Fatihah.

All of you, we are renewing baya` with Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q) and with Grandshaykh `AbdAllah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani (q) and with Prophet (s), and passing through Wali Songo (q).

(Baya`.) Fatihah.

Everyone, within 40 days from today, anyone who came here will carry the power of Wali Songo (q) with him and any du`a he makes inshaa-Allah Allah will accept. You know how the father and the mother, how their children run to them when they are young? All  of us will be under his protection, of one more wali to take care of us on the Day of Judgment; after Grandshaykh (q) and Mawlana Shaykh Nazim (q), he will take care of us.

Protection in These Highly Political Times

Jumu`ah Khutbah at As-Siddiq Mosque


Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillahee nasta`eenuhu wa nastighfiruhu was nastahdeehi wa na`oodhoo billaahi min shuroori anfusinaa wa sayyiaati `amaalinaa wa nashadoo an laa ilaaha illa-Llah, wahdahu laa shareeka lah, wa nashadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa habeebuhu wa rasooluh,...
ayuhal muminoon al-hadiroon, ittaqullaha wa ati`ooh. inna Allah ma` alladheenattaqaw walladheena hum muhsinoon.

Allah revealed to the Prophet (s) and the Prophet (s) mentioned to us in hadith that there will be confusions like chunks of dark nights; that means there will be huge confusions. Prophet (s) said:

laa yadree al-qaatil limaa qatal wa ’l-maqtool la ya`lam limaa qutil.
There will come a time when the one who kills does not know why he killed and the one being killed doesn't know why he was killed.

That is exactly what we are seeing today. The killer doesn’t know why he killed, except that he as pushed into it. And the one who was killed doesn’t know why he was killed, he was trying to make things better. During these confused and chaotic times, Prophet (s) said, “The one sitting is better than the one walking and the one standing is better than the one walking.” This means these days, don’t get involved in anything or take sides, because both sides have their own problems, defects, and faults. You cannot support one side over the other, leave the judgment to Allah (swt).

Prophet (s) said:
man ra’a munkaran fal-yughayyiruh bI-yadih fa in lam yastat`i fa-bi lisaanihi wa in lam yastat`i fa bi ’l-qalbi wa dhalika ad`afu ’l-imaan.
Whoever sees a wrong, try to change it with your hand; if you are unable, then try to change it with your tongue; if you cannot, then change it with your heart, and this is the lowest level of imaan.

So just sit and pray. Allah (swt) said:
كُلَّمَا دَخَلَتْ أُمَّةٌ لَّعَنَتْ أُخْتَهَا حَتَّى إِذَا ادَّارَكُواْ فِيهَاجَمِيعًا
kullama ja’at ummatun la`anat ukhtahaa hatta idhaa addarakoo feehaa jamee`an.
Every time a new people enters it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. (al-`Araf, 7:38)

wa hazama ’l-ahzaaba wahdah.
He is the One that demolished all different parties.

Allah doesn't like parties, He created human beings to worship Him. So we will go back to one of most important hadith of the Prophet (s):

“If there is a tyrant of a country (king or president), pray to Allah to change his heart from tyranny to moderation and peacefulness.”

Do not go and fight tyrants as you will end up in bloodshed. How many people have now been killed in the Middle East and for what benefit? One tyrant goes and another comes. We are now in the Last Days and there is fitnah everywhere, like dark nights with no end in sight. It started with Tunisia and began moving from there. So our duty is to sit in our places and make du`a. Today awliyaullah or sincere and pious shaykhs and scholars--not politicial shaykhs, they are running for their positions--will tell you, “Don’t be part of it as Allah (swt) will curse both sides, which are doing bloodshed.” And all of that comes from what? From corruption, it persists for a long period of time and at the end, blows up.

O Muslim Leaders! Those who don’t have problems in your country, try to give the rights to your citizens in order to avoid problems, confusion, and bloodshed!

The Prophet (s) was passing and saw someone whose cheeks were swollen and face red from anger. He said (s), innee `alamoo, “I know two sentences that this person can say that will bring him back to normal, ‘a`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani ‘r-rajim. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem.’”  When Shaytan comes and you begin to feel angry you cannot stop yourself, you become like a drunk person.

Prophet (s) said to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r), al-ghadabu kufrun yaa Abu Bakr, “Anger is disbelief.” Anger turns a believer into an unbeliever as they might swear and may not even know what they are saying. Take anger away from your hearts! Give advice and let people live in peace, without making bloodshed for no reason! Everyone who killed an innocent is going to be responsible on the Day of Judgment Day. Muslims must not kill anyone! If you see people demonstrating, don’t join them. Also, don’t glue yourself to the chair; today leaders do not want to give that chair away. Allah doesn’t like someone who is so connected to something zail, not eternal, and these chairs are not eternal. Just sit on it for five, six, or seven years. Why do you want to sit for thirty or forty years and pass it on, from child to child? Give someone else a chance and the responsibility.

May Allah keep us away from these chairs and keep us connected to the love of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). That is the best of what we can try, in our meetings and in our congregations; to praise whom Allah praises. Allah (swt) said in the Holy Qur'an:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلاً مِّنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الأَقْصَى الَّذِي بَارَكْنَا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آيَاتِنَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
subhaan alladhee asraa bi `abdihi laylan minal masjidil-haramee ilal masjid al-aqsa.
Glory to (Allah) Who took His servant for a journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque. (al-Isra, 17:1)

Allah is praising Himself, and one can praise Allah as He praises Himself, to show the greatness of Israa and Mi`raaj, as that is not something you can just talk about. “O human beings! It is not as easy as you think! I am bringing the Prophet from Earth to qaaba qawsayni aw adnaa, by praising Myself by Myself.”

“Alladhee” goes back to Allah. He didn't say “subhaanAllah,” that is for us to say. He said, subhaanalladhee, (which means) Subhaanee maa `azham shaanee, “Glory be to My Greatness, how I brought My servant to qaaba qawsayni aw adnaa.”

Our duty to is to give praise to Prophet (s). Why be worried about, “This one made me a servant, disrespected me, made me a slave.” If that person made you a servant, then Allah made you higher, so be happy and open your hearts. I am speaking especially to African-Americans. Don’t keep that resentment in yourself that, “we were slaves;” that is a temporary position to take you to servanthood. Those who didn't taste slavery will taste it on the Day of  Judgment, and those who did will be raised to servanthood. So don’t put in your heart, “we are slaves,” when in fact we are all slaves to our ego.

Praise the Prophet (s) instead, saying, allahuma salli `alaa Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Man salla `alay marran salla biha `ashara, “Whoever praises the Prophet (s) one time, Allah will pray on him ten times.”

Allah's praises have no limits! Love whom Allah created. He created Creation and is the Best Judge. May Allah forgive us and bless us on this Friday.

istaghfirullah al-`azheem alladhee laa ilaha ill-huwa wa atooboo ilayh.

Uways al-Qarani

Uways al-Qarani

Abu Amar Owais Bin Harb Bin al Muradi bin al Qarn  [d.37H/ 657CE] 'alayhi al-rahmah wa'l-ridwan 
His name was Owais, he was known as Owais al-Qarni because he lived in a town called "Qarn" in Yemen.  

Hadrat Owais Qarni (Allah be pleased with him) was a very pious and noble person. Although his life was insignificant from a worldly point of view, he is renowned and honoured amongst all Muslims, Sufis in particular, for his piety, practice of zuhd (asceticism), as well as a deep love and affection for the Beloved Messenger of Allah (Peace & Blessings upon him).

It is said that he spent all his hours in solitude, fasting, night vigil and salat (prayers). He had embraced Islam while the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) was still alive. He naturally had a very strong desire to see the Prophet but since his mother was very old and she needed his constant care and attention, he could not visit the Beloved of Allah.

As a reward of his service to his mother, he was treated as a Sahabi (Companion of Prophet) by the Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) even though he could not see him personally. His name entered the list of Sahaba only because of his strong intention to see the Allah's Beloved Messenger (Peace & Blessings upon him). 

Once the Companions asked the Beloved Prophet: "Has Hadrat Owais Qarni ever visited you? The Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) replied: "No, He never watched me physically, but spiritually he met me."

Sufism is based on the spiritual connection or link that was between the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) & Hadrat Owais Qarni, in Sufism that spiritual connection is known as "Nisbat-e-Owaisiya". When Hadrat Owais Qarni (Allah be pleased with him) received a message about the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him), that he had lost a tooth in the battle of "Uhud", Hadrat Owais Qarni pulled one of his own teeth out (because of his love towards the Beloved Prophet).

Thinking that he might not have pulled out the right tooth, and because he loved the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) more than he loved himself, he pulled out all of his teeth to make sure that he had lost the same tooth as the Beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace & Blessings upon him).    

During his last days, the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) asked Hadrat Umar and Hadrat Ali (Allah be pleased with them) to take his shirt (Jubba Mubarak) to Hadrat Owais and ask him to pray for the forgiveness of my followers (Ummah). The reason for this was to show his companions the very high status of Hadrat Owais.

Hadrat Umar and Hadrat Ali (Allah be pleased with them) asked the people if there was anyone from Qarn. One man came forward and told them how to find the place. They set out for Qarn. When they arrived, they asked the people where Owais was. The villagers answered their questions, but were very surprised to see the two prominent Companions asking for an unknown camel shepherd.

When Hadrat Umar and Hadrat Ali (Allah be pleased with them) reached to him, they saw Hadrat Owais saying his prayers. As he finished his prayers, he said, "It is the first time anyone has ever seen me praying. The two men passed on to him Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him)'s message asking Owais to pray for the forgiveness of the followers of Muhammad. This he did.

After a while he said, "Allah has forgiven and rewarded as many of Muhammad's followers as the hair of the sheeps of the Rabia and Mazhar tribes. They asked Hadrat Owais, "If you loved Muhammad so much, why didn't you visit him more often during his life time?" He did not answer, but asked if they took part in the battle of Uhud?

And if so, which tooth had Muhammad lost there? Hadrat Umar (Allah be pleased with him) was greatly impressed by this simple person and asked Hadrat Owais to pray for him. Hadrat Owais replied, "I pray for the forgiveness of everyone at the end of every prayer. If you keep your faith in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad, you will receive my prayers in your graves."

 Shaykh FARID AL-DIN ATTAR tells us about Oways al Qarni ra:

"During his life in this world, he (Oways) was hiding from all in order to devote himself to acts of worship and obedience" ('Attar 1976, p. 2). 'Attar also relates that the Prophet Peace & Blessings upon him had declared at the time of his death that his robe should be given to Oways, a man he had never met in this life.

When 'Umar Radi Allahu anhu looked for Uways during his stay in Kufa, he asked a native of Qarn and was answered "there was one such man, but he was a madman, a senseless person who because of his madness does not live among his fellow countrymen. He does not mingle with anybody and does not eat nor drink anything that others drink and eat. He does not know sadness nor joy; when others laugh, he weeps, and when they weep, he laughs" (ibid., p. 29).

Many times in the company of his followers, the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) stated: "I can smell the beauty of my fried from the land of Yemen'". This statement is in direct reference to the spiritual greatness of Hadrat Owais. The prophet also said: "I feel a sweet, peaceful breeze (naseem-e-rehmat) from Yemen". Concerning the hadith of the Prophet, upon whom be peace and blessings, "More people shall enter Paradise through the intercession of a certain man from my Community than there are people in the tribes of Rabi'a and Mudar," AL-HASAN AL-BASRI said: "That is Owais al-Qarni."

Hadrat Umar ra (Allah be pleased with him) quotes the Prophet as saying "Oh! Umar. From Yemen a man will arrive whose name is Owais and he has signs of Leprosy on his body, he cares for his old and frail mother. If for anything, he takes an oath in the name of Allah, Allah will fulfill his oath. If you can ask from him prayers for your own forgiveness, then you must do so."

Hadrat Ibn-e-Sa'd (Allah be pleased with him) quotes the Beloved Prophet (Peace & Blessings upon him) as saying "In my ummah (followers) I have a friend whose name is Owais al Qarni"Uwais al-Qarni says, "Keep watch over thy heart",  "Alayka bi-Ghalbik". Uwais al-Qarni said, "Hidden invocation (al-du'a fi dhahr al-ghayb) is better than visiting and meeting," because hypocrisy (riya) might enter in the latter two.

Translation of the Invocation of Owais al-Qarni:

"O Allah, You created me when I was not worthy of mention. And You provided for me when I had nothing. And I wronged my soul and sinned, and I confess my guilt. If You forgive me, that will in no way diminish Your sovereignty. And if You punish me, that will in no way augment Your authority. You can find others to punish besides me. But I can find no one to forgive me but You. Truly, You are the most merciful of those who show mercy."

Rasulullah (s) Give His Jubah to Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani (ra)

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem

Look at Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani (r), what happened? You know the story? What is the story? What happened? His mother said to him, “Don’t leave me to go and see the Prophet (s); for Allah’s sake stay with me.” He was going to see Prophet (s) and his mother said, “For Allah’s sake, for Prophet’s sake, don’t go!” Allahu akbar. And he stayed back. What did he get in reward? He listened to his mother and didn’t go to see his Prophet (s). And when he decided to go, the Prophet (s) had passed away.

When Prophet (s) was dying, and this is a story from Grandshaykh (q), because awliyaullah, like many common people, they see the Prophet (s) in dreams and when you see the Prophet (s) in dreams telling you something that is correct! No question. He said he saw in a vision, when the Prophet (s) was leaving dunya he called Sayyidina `Umar (r) and Sayyidina `Ali (r), and said, “This is my robe, thawb,” the long dress that Arabs wear, like jalabiyya.

When Prophet (s) was leaving dunya he was sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating, until his clothes became very wet and if you squeezed it like that, drops would come out, from the sweat he was sweating. Tell them not to repeat that story, quote me about it. He said to Sayyidina `Umar (r) and to Sayyidina `Ali (r), “When I leave dunya take that one and give it to Uwais al-Qarani.” Sayyidina `Umar (r) and Sayyidina `Ali (r), of course when the Prophet (s) passed away, of course they cried, they were busy, but later they took the robe and it was still wet, the sweat of the Prophet (s) doesn’t dry.

That is similar to when I had one hair of Prophet (s) in London, we were making ziyaarat and many Pakistani’s have Holy Hairs of the Prophet (s). And one had a long hair, it was in a jar, and there is the Holy Soil from the Grave of Prophet (s) in it too. And I said, “Yunus.” He said, “Yes?” And I said, “Do you know what is coming to my heart?” He said, “Yes.” And I said, “Okay, go get scissors, I need half of it.” And he didn’t say “No,” he did it, and gave me half. I put it in a tube.

And the next year I came and asked Yunus to bring the Holy Hair of the Prophet (s) as it was Mawlid. And he brought the hair and it had grown back to its original length. Everyone was surprised because they saw last time I cut half of it. And I wanted to make sure, so we brought a flashlight and I shined it on the hair, there was no shadow. There was a small pebble, to hold it, which showed a shadow but no shadow of the hair. It is Hayy, alive. So also the sweat of the Prophet (s) is alive.

So they took that robe, wrapped it and they went to where Prophet (s) told them they can find him, and they were asking for him. His name was `Abdullah, he was known as `Abdullah, and they were asking;“Where is Uwais al-Qarani?” Asking, asking, then they asked a child, who was clever, “Do you know where is Uwais al-Qarani?” And he said, “I don’t know of Uwais al-Qarani, but can you describe him?” And they said, “Yes, someone who wanted to go and see Prophet (s), his mother...”And he said, “O that is `Abdullah! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Come, come, I will take you!” He took them. And Sayyidina Uwais al-Qarani (q) was sitting on a rock looking after the sheep, and he had his back to them.

And as they came near he said, without looking, “Yaa `Umar bring me the amaanat.” He took it, stood up, kissed it and put it on his head. Sayyidina `Umar (r) always likes questions, he wants to ask, he wants to know, `Umar (r) said to him, “Yaa Uwais, did you see Prophet (s)?”. And Sayyidina Uwais (q) said, “I ask you the same question,” and he didn’t answer, he said, “Did you see the Prophet (s)?”. Sayyidina `Umar (r) said, “Of course I saw Prophet (s)! I was with him day and night.”And Sayyidina Uwais said, “Yaa `Umar you did not see the Prophet (s), describe him to me.” So `Umar described his shamaail, different characteristics, eyes, ears etc.
Uwais said, “Everyone saw Prophet (s) like that. Yaa `Ali did you see the Prophet (s)?”

And he said, “Yes, one time in my life.” He said, “I saw Prophet (s), he called me when my eye was having problems, on the battlefield. And he looked at me and said, ‘Yaa `Ali, look at my belly and up.’ I looked and found the whole universe disappeared, and Prophet (s) filling the whole universe and his head is under the `Arsh. Then the Prophet (s) said, ‘Look from my belly and down.’” And Sayyidina `Ali (r) looked and found him filling, to his knees, the seven earths, and below that he did not see. “Then he said, ‘Look at all of me.’” He looked and found everything disappeared and wherever he turned his face he saw Prophet (s).

And Sayyidina Uwais (r) said, “Yaa `Ali, you are correct, you saw him.” So Sayyidina `Umar said, “Yaa Uwais, what is this robe’s speciality that Prophet (s) sent it to you?” He said, “Yaa `Umar, in this robe, Prophet (s) did not leave dunya without asking forgiveness on behalf of everyone of his ummah. And he sweated for everyone of his ummah, for each person, so each drop of sweat represents one person he interceded for when he was leaving dunya. And this robe, this dress, contains all of them, the whole ummah, from beginning to end, the sweat represents each member of his ummah, where the Prophet (s) interceded in front of Allah, that’s why he was sweating, ashamed from his Lord.” And he got acceptance that they are all under the shafa`ah of Prophet (s). So, who is then the bankrupt? When you know these Islamic Principles, and you know that you are going to be in front of Prophet (s), ashamed, because you are spreading false rumors, and Allah will not forgive you because they involve the rights of people; your `amal:

Wa qadimnaa ilaa maa `amiloo min `amalin faja`alnaahu habaa’an manthoora.And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about. (Surat al-Furqaan, 25:23)

“We come to what they have done and we throw their `amal in their faces,” Allah said. That’s why their `amal is not accepted; let them pray as much as they like! Their `amal is not accepted. They are going to be asked and questioned:

`An abi hurayratata (r) anna rasoolullahi (s) qaala atradoona maa al-muflis? Qaaloo al-muflis feenaa man laa dirham lahu wa laa mata`. Faqaala inna ’l-muflis min ummatee yaatee yawm al-qiyamati bi-salaatin wa siyaamin wa zakaatin wa yaatee wa qad shatama hadhaa wa qazhafa hadhaa wa akala maala hadhaa wa safaka dam hadhaa wa daraba hadhaa fa-yu`tee hadhaa min hasanaatihi wa hadhaa min hasanaatihi fa in fanayta hasanaatahu qabl an yuqdaa maa `alayhi aakhadha min khataayaahum fa-turihat `alayhi thumma turiha fi ’n-naar.

The Prophet (s) said: Do you know who the muflis (bankrupt one) is? The muflis from my Ummah is one who comes on the Day of Judgment having performed prayer, fasting, and giving zakaat. However, along with all of this, he abused this person and slandered that person, ate the wealth of this person and unlawfully spilled the blood of that person. These people will take from his good deeds. If, however, his good deeds become exhausted, then their sins will be put upon him and he will be thrown into the Fire.  (Muslim, Ahmad, Tirmidhi)

So, let us pray for everyone to say, “Yaa Rabbee, we are all weak servants, us and them. Those who backbite us, we forgive them and we keep going, doing our job,” and try to close the door that the wind comes from, we don’t need to smell their bad smell, then you are going to fall into the dirty smell. No, stay in the perfumerie, al-`attaar, you will get some perfume on your hand. If you go to a blacksmith you get some fire sparkles on your body.  No, it is better to save ourselves and we say, “May Allah forgive us all, wa as-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh.

Wa qeela li-Salman al-Farsi awsinaa fa-qaala man istata` minkum an yamootu haajan aw ghaaziyan aw `amiran li-masjida rabbihi fal-yaf`al wa laa yamootanna taajiran wa laa khaa’inan.

They asked Salmaan al-Farsi to advise them and he said, “whoever among you is able to die on hajj or fighting as a soldier (against an aggressor) or building a mosque, then let him do so, but do not die as a trader nor as a traitor.

We are squeezed here, but on Day of Mahshar we will not be squeezed inshaa-Allah. And we are squeezed here because we are listening to something that makes us happy and on Judgment Day, inshaa-Allah we will not be squeezed but saved with no account and enter Paradise with no account!
