Suppose you raise the question", Shaykh Sidi Omar al-Futi discussed, “How can the latter

day saint be more excellent than the great saints of earlier times, whose excellence has
been disseminated and come to be widely known, and whose fame has spread in the east
and the west, like Shaykh Abdellqadir al-Jilani, Shaykh Abul Hassan Shadhili, and others
of their kind (may Allah be well pleased with them all). My answer to this will be: “Due
to the fact that the latter day Prophet Sidna Mohammed (Peace and blessing be upon him)
is more excellent than Abraham, the Bosom Friend of Allah, and Moses, and Jesus, and
others among the Prophets and the Messengers (upon our Prophet and upon them be the
most excellent blessing and peace). Abul Mawahib al Tunsi ("Sidi Abdellaziz Tunsi; d.
468/1053) (may Allah be well pleased with him) said: “You must beware of saying: „The
great ones and the truthful ones among the spiritual paupers have departed, for they have
not departed in reality. They are simply like the treasure of the keeper of the vault. To
someone who comes in the later time, Allah may give what He withheld from the people
of the earlier age, for Allah gave to Sidna Mohammed (may Peace and blessing be upon
him) what He did not give to the Prophets before him.”

There is a little question that grand saints venerated Sidna Shaykh as a Seal of
Mohammedian Sainthood in his lifetime. The Khalwati master, Sidi Mahmud al-Kurdi al-
Iraqi (d. 1186/1771), has already indicated that Sidna Shaykh's potential was more
advanced than the Qutbaniya he was seeking. A Tunisian Shadhili shaykh, on the other
hand, confessed to the venerated muqaddam, Sidi Ahmed ibn Mohammed Abdellawi (d.
1328/1913), that he receives provision through the sphere of Mawlana Shaykh Tijani.
Even the Shaykh in Shari‟a and Tariqa, the source of secrets and realities, Moulay
Abdellqadir al-Jilani (d. 563/1148), perceived the Tijanite Khatmiya. Kashf al-Hijab
depicts that the companion of Sidna Shaykh, Sidi Abul Hassan Ali ibn Chtiwi al-Jaridi,
has often met the spirit Moulay Abdellqadir from whom he received initiation of his
Tariqa. Hunting was his occupation; one day while hunting a gazelle with all his attention
on his prey, appeared before him Moulay Abdellqadir saddled on his horse. He was
embarrassed that his Shaykh found him in such a situation. They started discussing and
our personage inquired the Shaykh: "O my master, we heard about a Shaykh that came to
Abi Samghoune, what do you say about him?" He answered to his inquiry, "O my son, he
is the tree under which shadow all of us find shelter." Hearing this caused Sidi Ali to
affiliate himself with Sidna Shaykh. It is also reported by Sidi Abul Hassan Harazem that
he heared Sidna Shaykh saying, “I have asked the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon
him): “O Master, the Shaykh Mawlana Abdellqadir al-Jilani said, 'My stamp cannot be
overstamped.' The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) responded: “O Ahmed your
stamp can overtake any stamp and the other stamps cannot overtake yours”.

On the 18th of Safar, one month and few days on achiveing the Qutbaniya, Sidna Shaykh
perceived his great rank: i.e. Maqam al-Katmiya (Stage of Concealhood). Thus he gained
eternal fame with the title of the "Concealed Pole” (al-Qutb al-Maktum). Sidna Shaykh
said, "The Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) told me in daylight not in state of
sleepiness that I was the Concealed Pole (al-Qutb al-Maktum) and the Sealed Isthmus (al-
Barzakh al-Makhtum)". The quiddity of this rank is concealed. The Prophet (peace and
blessing be upon him) said, "[Al-Qutb al-Maktum] is the one Allah had concealed from
His angles and prophets except me". According to Sidi Mohammed al-Ghali Boutaleb (d.
1244/1829) Sidna Shaykh lived 30 years in the Katmiya. The scholar Sidi Mohammed
ibn al-Mishri (d. 1224/1809) remarks in Kitab al-Jami'a, "The Hidden Pole has a position
facing the Mohammedian Reality that will never be for anyone else from amongst all the
greatest of the saints (may Allah be pleased with all of them). With that said, verily his
reality in that position which is specific to him will not occur to anyone but God and the
Chieftain of Existence (peace and blessing be upon him) because he has a relationship
with the Mohammedian Reality." In the Jawahir al-Maani, Sidna Shaykh Abul Abbas
Tijani is quoted to say the following on the Mohammedian Reality,

"Know that when Allah created the Mohammedian Reality, He placed inside it all that He
apportioned for the creation from the outpouring of knowledge, gnosis, secrets,
manifestations, light, as well as the creation (itself) by way of all its rulings, necessities,
and requirements. Also know that he (peace and blessing be upon him) is now ascending
in perfect witnessing of the Divine in such a way that no one else could ever hope for.
This perfection will never end for the duration of an eternity of eternities. Regarding this,
there is nothing within the essences of existence anything more worthy of respect or
greater than this Mohammedian Reality nor purer or cleaner or more perfect. Again,
verily it is in its actual reality unreachable and unrecognisable. Uwais al Qarni (may
Allah be pleased with him) said to Sidna Omar and Sidna Ali (may Allah be pleased with
both of them) when they met him: “You haven't see anything of the Prophet but his
shadow.” They replied: “Not even the son of Abi Qahafa" (Sidna Abu Bakr). He replied,
"Not even the son of Abi Qahafa." He did not say that to them until he had reach into the
depths of gnosis wherein he sought a place in the essence of the Mohammedian Reality.
It was said to him: “This is an affair whose arrival is incapacitated for even the greatest of
the Prophets so its hopeless for anyone in any aspect or state." Abu Yazid said (may
Allah be pleased with him): "I underwent the depths of gnosises in search of place at the
essence of the Mohammedian Reality to where I found between me and it a thousand
veils of light. If I approached the first veil I would be burned just as a hair is burned when
cast into the fire, and so I merely delayed the retreat.”

More, Shaykh al-Islam Abul Fayd Sidi al-Haj Ibrahim ibn Abdullah Niass al-Kulakhi (d.
1390/1975) has said,

“The Mohammedian Reality is manifested on the reality of Sidna Shaykh, the Concealed
Pole and Seal of Sainthood, from the primordial time till period of his appearance. Sidna
Shaykh is the only saint that receives divine providence directly from his grandfather
(peace and blessing be upon him). The Mohammedian Reality manifested on Sidna
Shaykh encloses all the attributes of his grandfather (peace and blessing be upon him)
save that of prophethood. That is the reason why Sidna Shaykh Tijani was named the
Best of all Saints. Whoever drinks from the spiritual sea of Mohammedian Reality will
emerge as prophet save Sidna Shaykh Tijani who drank from it and did not become a
prophet but a saint. (...) Shaykh Tijani is the source of sainthood and all creation receive
its divine providence from his nature from the primordial time till the day of resurrection.
Sidna Shaykh said: “My two feet steps on the neck of all saints from the period of Adam
to the day of resurrection”. I (Shaykh Niass) say there is no controversy over this, what
he means by his two feet his Sufi order and his reality. He asserted, through ecstatic
utterances that “I am He and He is I and if I am asked thousands of questions, I will
answer in one word”. By virtue of this he emerged as a Seal of Saints just like the
Prophet (pace and blessing be upon him) emerged as Seal of Prophets. The Tijani Sufi
Path abrogated all Sufi Orders just like the Divine Law (Shari‟a) of the Prophet abrogated
all laws before him.”

THE WAZIFAH consists of:

1.Take refuge in Allah

2.Al Fatiha -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(once)
3.Astagfirul Lahal `Azimal Ladzi Laa Ilaha Illa Huwal Hayyal Qayyum--------------(30
times)
4.Salatul Fatihi----------------------------------------------------------------------------(50 times)
5.La Illaha Illallah------------------------------------------------------------------------(100 times)
6.Jawharatul Kamal-----------------------------------------------------------------------(12 times)

Wazifah is the meeting of the brethren of the path to meet for the sake of Allah and to do
audible zikr. The same adaab is given to the wird, wazifah, and zikr jumah as the adaab
that is given in Salat. Meaning one must be in wudu, preferably in congregation, sitting in
humbleness with proper sitting.
The Wazifah is done once ever 24hours at least. It can be done anytime but the preferred
time is after Maqhrib. It must be remembered that meeting for the sake of Allah is one of
the ways of receiving shade under the thone of Arsh on the day when there will be no
other shade as reported in the hadith: "Seven persons shall enjoy the shade of Allah's
throne when there will be no other shade on the Day of Judgement: (i) A just ruler, (ii) A
young person who is nurtured in „Ibadat‟ of Allah Ta‟ala; (iii) A person whose heart is
attached to the Masjid; (iv) Two persons who love each other for the pleasure of Allah;
without any worldly motive, and they meet and separate in that spirit; (v) A man who due
to fear of Allah, refuses to go near a respectable beautiful woman, sexually inclined
towards him, as also a woman who in a similar situation refuses to meet a man; (vi) A
person who gives Sadaqah so secretly that his left hand does not know what the right
hand gives away; (vii) A person who cries when remembering Allah in solitude." Shaykh
Ibrahim Niass (may Allah be pleased with him) said. "These are all difficult for the
average person, EXCEPT for loving and meeting for the sake of Allah." This is one of
the purposes of the wazifah, which is to meet for the sake of Allah. For the fuqara of this
path, this is to be done everyday if one lives in a place where there are others who can
meet.

Another fadl of the wazifa, is the recitaton of the Jawhara Kamal, which is another Sala al
Nabi which was given to Shaykh Tijani as a gift from the Beloved Prophet (May Allah
bless and give him peace). The merits of this Sala ala Nabi follows. As been described by
the Grandest Muqaddam Sidi Ali Harrazem berrada al-Fasi and his successor in
grandness Sidi Ahmed Skirej al-Fasi, the Jawhara is characterized by plenty of realities;
(1) The Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, and the Four Companions attend the
circle of dhikr when it is recited more than 6 times, (2) One recitation of the Jawhara
equals the prayers (tasbih) of the universe three times, (3) Gifting the Jawhara 12 times to
the Prophet, peace and blessing be upon him, is like visiting him in his Rawda Sarifa, as
well as all the other prophets and saints, (4) Gifting the Jawhara 7 times to the Prophet,
peace and blessing be upon him, before sleep leads to seeing him in a dream (ruaya) (5)
Reading the Jawhara daily results into the love of Sidna Mohammed, peace and blessing
be upon him, to its reader

One must know of the secret of the Muhammadan Essence in the wazifa for even if you
Hisb with the Abjad ( numeric arabic table) the word:

AL NABI
Alif- 1; Lam- 30; Nun-50; Ba-2; Ya-10=92

In the wazifah you will see this representation by the number of recitations of the zikrs in
the wazifah. The wazifah comprises of 30 Istighfirllah which is represented for the letter
Lam in AL NABI. Lam = 30. Then there are 50 Salat al Fatihi, which is represented for
the letter NUN=50. Then ther are 100 La Illah Illah Allah which is 1 for Allah's Oneness.
which is represented for the letter Alif. Then there are twelve Jawhartu Kamal, which is
done 12 times, which is represented by the Ba (2) and the Ya (10). The purpose of the
Wazifah is to meet with your brothers in the religion for the sake of remembrance of
Allah and his pleasure. And to be in the Presence of Allah's Messenger and His 4
Khalifas. After this one makes supplication for the muslims, and families, and your own
supplications. Then one departs with the Nafs awake ready for worship.

The following is quoted from your article:

"As the Holy Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) knew that he was a prophet when
Adam was between water and clay, this Sufi knew he was a saint when Adam was
between water and clay."

The first part of the statement is about the Prophet (SM). The second part is about the
Sufi. Which sufi you are talking about? (Ahmad Tijani? Not clear from your statement,
without reading several times.) How does anyone know that Sidi Ahmad was anything
equal to Prophet (SM)? Please clarify.

Make Istighfaar in Abundance ~ Seek the

Forgiveness of Allah
July 8, 2013

... VEILED GEMS, ZIKR

Excerpts from ~ Ramadaan 1434 Programmes

Rasulullah Sallalahu alayhi wa Sallam used to recite : ‫ ~ أأأأأ أأأ أأ‬Astagfirullah (I

seek forgiveness of Allah)

at least 100 times a day.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas RA narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “The
one who (regularly) says Istighfaar, Allah Azza Wa-Jal will open a path for him from all
difficulties, remove him from all sorrow, and grant him sustenance from unimagined and
unexpected sources.” ~ (Abu Dawud)
…

A person who says :

“Astaghfirullah al-‟Azeem al-lazi la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum wa atubu ilaih ”

(I seek the forgiveness of Allah the Mighty, Whom there is none worthy of worship except Him,
The Living, The Eternal, and I repent unto Him) … even if he has committed sins as much as the
the foam of an ocean, still he will be forgiven. [Abu Dawud- 2:85/ Tirmidhi 5:569]

Question: What should we recite upon completing salat?

ANSWER
One who performed salat individually or behind the imam should say upon saying the salam (taslim) at
the end of salat, “Allahumma anta-s-salaam wa minka-s-salaam tabaarakta ya dhal jalaali wa-l
ikraam.”

After it, one should say three times, “Astaghfirullah al-azeem alla-dhee laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyal
qayyooma wa atoobu ilayh.” This is called prayer of repentance.

After reciting Ayat al-Kursi, one should say “Subhanallah” 33 times, “Alhamdulillah” 33 times, and
“Allahu akbar” 33 times. Then one should say, “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahoo laa shareeka lah lahul
mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer.” It is bid’at (religious innovation) to add any
other du’a to this order.

Then one should raise one’s hands and make du’a (supplication). After du’a, one should say “Amin” and
wipe one’s face with one’s hands. It is stated in a hadith-i sharif, “The du’a made after the five fard
salats is accepted.”

Question: What surah and adhkar should we recite after making du’a following salat?
ANSWER
You should recite Surat al-Ikhlas 11 times, Surat al-Falaq once, Surat an-Nas once. Then say
“Astaghfirullah” 67 times, thus the total number of them will be 70 *because you also said it on
completion of salat 3 times+. Say “Subhaanallahi wa bi-hamdihi subhaanallahil azeem” 10 times. Say the
ayah *that begins with+, “Subhana rabbika …”

Question: I saw when I was offering hajj in Mecca that some people left after salat without saying
tasbihaat or du’a. They say that it is bid’at to say tasbihaat collectively after salat and to say “Amin” to
the imam’s du’a. Are they bid’at, indeed?
ANSWER
It is best for the jama’at and the imam to make du’a together quietly. It is also permissible for them to
make du’a separately or to leave the mosque without making du’a, but one should not form a habit of
leaving the mosque without making du’a. We should both say “Amin” to the du’a of the imam and make
du’a individually as well. What is bid’at is a muazzin’s leading people in tasbihaat. Saying tasbihaat
(uttering Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu akbar, 33 times each) or making du’a is not bid’at.

It is written in fiqh books:

After performing a fard salat, if there is no final sunnat after the fard, or after performing the final
sunnat, it is mustahab for the imam to turn right or left or toward the jama’at. He may as well leave the
mosque at once if he has some work to do. It is stated in a hadith-i sharif, “Whoever says,
‘Astaghfirullah al-‘a-dheem al-la-dhee laa ilaaha illaa huw-al-hayy-al-qayyooma wa atoobu ilayh’
three times after every salat, all his sins will be forgiven.” After the prayer of repentance, it is
mustahab (for the imam and for the jama’at) to recite Ayat al-Kursi once and then to say “Subhanallah,”
“Alhamdulillah,” and “Allahu akbar,” 33 times each. Then they should say “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu
laa shareeka lah …” once. Afterwards, they should raise their hands as high as their chests and make
du’a. (Maraqi al-Falah, Tahtawi)

Together with the imam and jama’at, stretch your arms a little ahead and raise them as high as your
chest. Open your palms completely and make them face the sky. Make du’a and conclude it with Amin.
(Ey Oğul İlmihali)

Four hadith-i sharifs on saying “Amin” at the end of du’a are as follows:

(If a jama’at makes du’a collectively and if some of them say “Amin,” Allahu ta’ala accepts that du’a.)
[Hakim]

(The one who makes du’a and the one who says “Amin” to it are partners of thawab [reward].)
[Daylami]

(Let the imam not exclude the jama’at from his du’a. If he does, he will have betrayed them.)
[Bayhaqi]

(When the imam says “Amin,” say “Amin” too because if the Amin of any of you coincides with that of
angels, his past sins will be forgiven.) [Bukhari]

It is not bid’at, but mustahab, for the jama’at to say the tasbihaat and to make du’a together with the
imam. (Ni’mat-i Islam)

Question: What should we say when making du’a (supplication) at the end of salat?
ANSWER
There is not a formula to be said when one is making du’a after salat. Everyone should say words
according to his/her specific needs. It is not correct to make the same du’a all the time. One should be
consciously aware of what one is asking for. It is not right to say things without the presence of mind,
and it is makruh to memorize some clichés as du’a and to recite them in a poetic form. Du’a should be
made in a soft voice and with the presence of mind and heart. It is makruh, too, to restrict du’a to
certain times and occasions, such as on completion of salats. One should take every opportunity to
make du’a.

For example, one may make such a du’a:

“Alhamdulillahi rabbil aa-lameen as salaatu was salaamu ‘alaa rasoolina Muhammadin wa ‘alaa aa-lihi
wa sahbihi ajma’een.

O my Rabb! Accept our salats that we have performed. Make our fates and ends good. Bless us with
saying “Laa ilaaha illallah Muhammadun rasoolullah” at our last breath. Forgive our dead ones.

O my Rabb! Protect us against the evils of the Devil, of the enemy, and of our nafs-i ammara. Send
goodness and good sustenance that has barakah to our homes. Give safety and well-being to followers
of Islam. Confound and devastate the enemy of Islam. Help those Muslims who perform jihad against
disbelievers.

Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul afwa fa’fu ‘annee.

O my Rabb, heal sick Muslims and give a remedy to grief-stricken ones.

Allahumma innee as-alukas-sihhata wal ‘aafiyata wal-amaanata wa husnal-khulqi war-ridaa-a bil-qadari

bi rahmatika yaa arhamar-raahimeen.

Protect us from two-facedness, hypocrisy, conflict, all kinds of illnesses, accidents, disasters, laziness,
inability, contemptibleness, oppression, wealth and poverty that lead one astray, the evils of the Devil
and of the nafs, the triumph of the enemy, vices, committing bid’at, going astray, deeds without ikhlas,
all types of sins, disbelief, abject old age, trials that will befall at the time of death, and everything that
will negatively affect our worldly and otherworldly lives.

Bless us with true faith, good moral qualities, a thanksgiving heart, a tongue that mentions You, a good
life that is pleased with qada and qadar, eating less, sleeping less, talking less, laughing less, serving
much, deliverance from the torment of the grave and of the terrors of the Day of Judgment, doing deeds
with which You are pleased during our lifetime, dying a martyr, and the belief of Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l
Jama’ah and repentance at our last breath.

O my Rabb, bless us with Your love, the love of those whom You love, and the love of every action that
will make me attain Your love. Increase our knowledge, ikhlas, and abilities. Include us among the murad
(the selected ones) and the mukhlas (owners of permanent ikhlas). Make us one of those who are
generous and have the quality of doing isar (giving others the things that you need; preferring others to
yourself).

O my Rabb, grant good lives, good moral qualities, a sound mind, good health, well-being, guidance,
seeking and finding the true path to our parents, our children, our relatives, our companions, and our
fellow Muslims. Amin.

Wal hamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Allahumma salli ‘alaa … Allahumma barik ‘alaa … Allahumma
rabbanaa aatinaa … Wal hamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen. Astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah, astaghfirullah.

Astaghfirullah al-azeem al-kareem alla-dhee laa ilaaha illaa hu, al-hayyal qayyooma wa atoobu ilayh.”

Question: Is there anything wrong with looking up to the sky during du’a?
ANSWER
It is not correct to lift your head up to the sky when making du’a because Allahu ta’ala is free from
occupying a place. It is very dangerous to think, as some deviant people do, that Allahu ta’ala is in the
sky. A hadith-i sharif recorded by Bukhari strictly forbids looking up to the sky in salat. (Al-Anwar)
Question: As a hadith-i sharif says, “Whoever recites the last three verses of Surat al-Hashr in the
morning and in the evening will die a martyr,” I regularly recite these three verses in the morning and
in the evening. When I perform salat in the mosque, the imam recites them and we listen to his
recitation. If I do not recite them individually after the imam, will his recitation be enough for me to earn
thawab and to die a martyr?
ANSWER
It is sunnat to read (or recite) the Qur’an al-karim and fard to listen to it when it is being recited. As the
listener earns much more thawab than the reader, it is not necessary for the listener to recite them
again. Similarly, if one habitually recites the verses (that begin with) “Amanarrasoolu …” every night,
one does not have to recite them again after listening to them from the imam. (Shir’a)

Question: It is recommended in a hadith-i sharif that we should recite the last three verses of Surat al-
Hashr after Salat al-Fajr and Salat al-Maghrib. However, people recite them from the verse (that begins
with) “Law anzalnaa …” Similarly, it is recommended in a hadith-i sharif that we should recite Surat al-
Ikhlas 10 times after salats, but you say that we should recite it 11 times. What is the reason for such
differences?
ANSWER
When there are several narrations on a matter, it is preferable to choose the most meritorious one.
Accordingly, it is better to recite Surat al-Hashr from the verse (that begins with) “Law anzalnaa …” It is
reported that we should recite Surat al-Ikhlas 10 or 11 times after salats. It is better to recite it 11 times.
A hadith-i sharif says:
(A mansion will be given to a Muslim who recites Surat al-Ikhlas 11 times after Salat al-Fajr.) [Haraiti]
(This hadith-i sharif is written on the 382nd page of Ramuz-ul-Ahadith.)

Question: It is stated in a hadith-i sharif that whoever says, after completing Salat al-Fajr, “Laa ilaaha
illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lah lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyi wa yumit wa huwa ‘alaa kulli
shay’in qadeer” 10 times while sitting seiza-style without crossing his legs and without talking, he will be
protected against all kinds of evils and the evils of the Devil that day, and he will earn many thawab. If
one recites it while sitting cross-legged due to pain in one’s foot or while exiting the mosque or while
sitting on a chair, will one receive the same thawab?
ANSWER
For every act of worship, there is an azima and a rukhsa way. The method explained in the hadith-i
sharif is the best way.

One should read the Qur’an al-karim by sitting seiza-style on the ground, by facing the qibla, and by
observing the etiquette of reading the Qur’an al-karim. So is the case with supplications (du’a). One can
recite them by sitting on a chair if there is necessity.

One is allowed to recite them by heart while walking. The same rule applies to supplications, too. One
should recite them by sitting seiza-style on the ground if there is no need to do otherwise.
If one suffers from foot pain or if one’s feet are numbed when one sits seiza-style, then there is nothing
wrong with one sitting cross-legged. It is permissible, too, to recite them while walking or while sitting
on a chair. However, the best method is the one explained in the hadith-i sharif.

Question: What is the method of saying istighfar after salat?

ANSWER
One should say “Astaghfirullah” three times after salat. It is stated in a hadith-i sharif, “Whoever recites
‘Astaghfirullah al-azeem alladhee laa ilaaha illaa huwal hayyal qayyooma wa atoobu ilayh’ three
times after every salat will have all his sins forgiven” [Maraqi al-Falah]. For this reason, it is better to
recite it fully instead of saying only “Astaghfirullah.”

That it is bid’at for a muazzin to recite this prayer loudly is written on the 59th page of the book Al-Ibda.

Question: Is it necessary to recite Surat al-Fatiha after reciting the Qur’an al-karim following salat?
ANSWER
Whether one recites or does not recite the Qur’an al-karim after salat, either is permissible. However, as
reading the Qur’an al-karim brings much thawab, it is best to read it if one has time. Thus, one will say
the verse (that begins with) “Subhana rabbika …” after finishing the recitation and then will recite Surat
al-Fatiha. It is very rewarding to recite Surat al-Fatiha. The following hadith-i sharifs say:

(The surah in the Qur’an al-karim that has the most benefits is Surat al-Fatiha.) [Imam-i Ahmad]

(The most virtuous surah of the Qur’an al-karim is Surat al-Fatiha.) [Hakim]

(Surat al-Fatiha is a cure for all illnesses.) [Bayhaqi]

(Surat al-Fatiha is a cure for poison.) [Abu ash-Shaikh]

When a Sahabi said that he recited Surat al-Fatiha, our Master the Prophet stated:

(I swear that Allah did not reveal a surah similar to that surah in the Tawrat [Torah], Injeel [Bible], or
Zabur [Psalms]. It is seven verses repeated in salats and of the Mighty Qur’an, which has been given to
me.) [Tirmidhi]

When our Master the Prophet was sitting with Jibril ‘alaihis-salam, an angel came and said:
(I am giving you the good news of two lights that have been given only to you and no prophet before
you was given. They are Surat al-Fatiha and the concluding verses of Surat al-Baqarah. For every letter
you will recite from these two surahs, you will definitely be given whatever you want.) [Muslim]

(Surat al-Fatiha averts the wrath of Allahu ta’ala.) *Shir’a+

A snake bit a chieftain. When one of the Blessed Companions recited Surat al-Fatiha, he recovered by
the will of Allah. The chieftain gave him a lot of sheep as gifts. As he did not know whether it was
permissible or not to accept them, he asked our Master the Prophet it. The Messenger of Allah asked,
“What did you recite?” When he said that he recited Surat al-Fatiha, our Master the Prophet stated:
(How did you know that Surat al-Fatiha is a cure. Accept those sheep, and share them between the
people with you.) [Bustan-ul-Arifin]

It is written in the book Bariqa:

“It is better to recite Surat al-Fatiha at occasions where recitation of a du’a is recommended. Making
du’a after salats is established by hadith-i sharifs. Surat al-Fatiha was revealed to tell us the best of
du’as. When the imam wants the jama’at to recite Surat al-Fatiha, it is good for the jama’at to recite it
quitely because it is mustahab to praise Allahu ta’ala at the end of du’as. The best way of praising Him is
to recite Surat al-Fatiha.” *p. 137+

It is permissible to read the Qur’an al-karim after salats and to recite Surat al-Fatiha on completion of
reading the Qur’an al-karim. It is not a sin not to recite Surat al-Fatiha, but it brings thawab to recite it.

Question: Some individuals, saying that it is bid’at and haram to say “Al-Fatiha” and to recite it on
completion of recitation of the Qur’an, cause dissension among Muslims. What is the ruling on it in fiqh
books?
ANSWER
Hadrat Muhammad Ma’sum Faruqi states in the 197th letter of the first volume of his Maktubat:
“Our religious superiors did not recite Surat al-Fatiha by raising their hands after the five daily salats. It is
bid’at to recite it after salats for the fulfillment of a need.”

According to this quotation, what is impermissible is to raise the hands and to recite Surat al-Fatiha after
salat for the fulfillment of a need. There is nothing wrong with reciting it if these are not done.

Is it bid’at or not to recite Surat al-Fatiha after salat and supplications? Hadimi writes its answer
detailedly on the 137th page of the book Bariqa. Let’s explain briefly: According to the majority of
scholars, it is better to recite Surat al-Fatiha at places where it was declared to recite du’a. Moreover, it
has been declared in hadith-i sharifs to make du’a after salats. Bid’at means an ’ibada that is performed
without the Owner of Islam permitting it. Surat al-Fatiha descended in order to reveal the best of du’as.
No scholar said it would be bid’at to recite it after salats or du’as. It is forbidden for the entire
congregation to recite it loudly altogether. When the imam says “Al-Fatiha,” it is good that everybody
recite it quitely. For it is mustahab to do hamd (praising) after du’as. And the best hamd is to recite
Surat al-Fatiha. It is makruh to recite it between fard and sunnat salats and in order to attain what one
desires. (Islam’s Reformers)

It is stated in the passage above that it is good to recite Surat al-Fatiha. However, in common with what
was stated in the passage before it, it is stated that reciting it for the fulfillment of a need is makruh. It is
also stated that it is not correct to recite it between fard and sunnat salats loudly in chorus.
It is written in Jila-ul-Qulub: “When one comes to a cemetery, one should say ‘Assalamu alaikum yaa
ahla daar-il-qawm-il-mu’mineen. Innaa ishaallahu an qareebin bikum laahiqoon’ in standing position.
Then one should recite Surat al-Ikhlas 11 times and Surat al-Fatiha once by saying the Basmala before
each. One should approach the grave from the right-hand side of the deceased and from the side where
the deceased’s feet are. He greets the deceased. Standing, squatting, or sitting, one should recite the
initial or concluding verses of Surat al-Baqara, Surat Yasin, Surat al-Mulk, Surat at-Takathur Surat al-
Ikhlas, and Surat al-Fatiha and then present the thawab of them to the deceased.” *As it is seen, Surat
al-Fatiha is recited at the end.]

It is written in Ey Oğul İlmihali:

“After a salat, make du’a with the imam and the jama’at by spreading out your arms a little ahead,
raising them to chest level, and making your palms face the sky. Say ‘Amin’ at the end of your du’a. On
completion of your du’a, wipe your face with your hands and say ‘Wal hamdulillahi rabbil ‘aalameen.’
Recite salawat and Surat al-Fatiha.”

[It is stated explicitly in the passage above that one should recite Surat al-Fatiha at the end of salat.]

Question: Could you please inform us of some du’as that we may say after salat?
ANSWER
There are many du’as that we may say after salat. I will mention one of them. Our Master the Prophet
said:
(O Muadh, by Allah I love you. Do not fail to say after every salat, “Allahumma a’innee ‘alaa dhikrika
wa shukrika wa husni ibaadatika.”) *Nasai+ (It means, “O my Rabb, bless me with remembering You,
thanking You, and worshiping You well.)

In order to become beneficiary of the hadith-i sharif “Whoever prays for male and female Believers 25
times a day, he will be included among those for whom sustenance is granted to the world and those
whose du’as are answered,” reported by Tabarani, one should say the following du’a:

(Whoever says “Allahummaghfir lee wa li-waalidayya wa li-usta-dhiy-ya wa lil mu’mineena wal

mu’minaat wal muslimeena wal muslimaat al ahyaa-i minhum wal amwaat bi-rahmatika yaa
arhamar-raahimeen” 25 times a day, he will be recorded among those who worship much. Allahu
ta’ala will remove hatred and jealousy from his heart. Thawab as much as the number of
Believers will be recorded for him. On the Day of Judgment, all Believers will say, “O my Rabb, this
servant of Yours used to say istighfar for us, so forgive him.”) [Miftah-un-Najat]

We should be thankful for the state we are in. For example, we may say:
“Alhamdulillahi ‘alaa kulli haal siwal kufri wad-dalal.” It means, “Praise is due to Allah in all
circumstances except disbelief and heresy.”

A similar du’a with a slight difference in wording is as follows:

“Alhamdulillahi ‘alaa kulli haal wa a’oodhu billahi min haal-i ahlin-naar.” It means, “Praise is due to Allah
in all circumstances. I seek refuge with Allah from the condition of the people of Hell.”

Question: When one is making du’a, should one keep one’s hands inclined toward one’s face?
ANSWER
During du’a, the palms should face the sky, not the face. They should be raised to chest level.

The hands should not be close together, but they should be apart from each other. (Fatawa-i Hindiyya,
Durr-ul-Mukhtar)

A woman does not stretch her hands forward while making du’a, but she keeps them inclined toward
her face. Today, unfortunately, a large number of men make du’a in the same way as women do.

Question: What is the correct time for making du’a after salat?
ANSWER
Du’a is made after tasbihaat (that is, after saying Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu akbar, 33 times
each).

Question: Should we say the prayer “Allahumma antas-salaam wa minkas-salaam …” only after fard
salats?
ANSWER
After every salat, be it fard, wajib, sunnat, or nafilah, one should say “Allahumma antas-salaam wa
minkas-salaam tabaarakta yaa dhal jalaali wal ikraam” following the salam. After performing post-fard
sunnat salat or after performing final salat, one should say “Astaghfirullah al-azeem alladhee laa ilaaha
illaa huwal hayyal qayyooma wa atoobu ilayh” three times. Then one should recite Ayat al-Kursi, say the
tasbihaat, and make du’a. It is very good to say “Yaa Allah yaa Allah yaa hayyu yaa qayyoomu ya dhal
jalaali wal ikraam asaluka an tuhyiya qalbee bi noori marifatika abadan yaa Allah yaa Allah” when
making du’a.

Question: Is it bid’at to say “Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu akbar” after salat?

ANSWER
It is sunnat-i muakkada established by ijma’ (consensus). It is permissible to count tasbihaat on fingers
or on a masbaha. The Messenger of Allah saw a woman counting tasbihaat on seeds and did not forbid
her. This event shows that it is permissible to count tasbihaat on stones, seeds, or a masbaha. (Radd-ul-
Mukhtar)

The words baaqiyaat-us-saalihaat (everlasting good deeds) are mentioned in the Qur’an al-karim. The
Messenger of Allah said:
(Say baaqiyaat-us-saalihaat plenty of times. These are tasbih, tahlil, tahmid, takbir, and tamjid.)
[Tabarani]

[Tasbih means Subhanallah,

Tahlil means Laa ilaaha illallah,
Takbir means Allahu akbar,
Tamjid means Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billah.]

It is declared in hadith-i sharifs:

(Whoever says “Subhanallah” 33 times, “Alhamdulillah” 33 times,” Allahu akbar” 33 times and
completes it with “Laa ilaaha illallahu wahdahu laa shareeka lah lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa
huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer” after every salat, he will have all his sins pardoned even if they may
be as much as the foam on the sea.) [Muslim]

(Keep on tasbih and tahlil by counting them on the tips of the fingers. On the Day of Judgment, each
organ will be called to account. It will be said about fingers, “He used them for tasbihaat.” The one
who is ghafil [preoccupied with nafs, so forgetful of Allahu ta’ala+ will be away from mercy.) [Hakim]

(There is no one better than a person who has grown old as a Muslim due to his takbir, tahmid,
tasbih, and tahlil.) [Imam-i Ahmad]

When the poor ones said, “O the Messenger of Allah, the rich people outdo us in rank and blessings. We
perform salat, and they also perform salat. We fast, and they also fast. However, they give zakat and
alms, and they free slaves, whereas we cannot do any of them,” our Master the Prophet stated:

“I will teach you phrases by which you will be able to catch up with those whose ranks are higher than
yours and by which you will be able to outdo those whose ranks are lower than yours. No one will
acquire your ranks except those who do what you do: after every salat, say ‘Subhanallah’ 33 times,
‘Alhamdulillah’ 33 times, ‘Allahu akbar’ 33 times and complete it by saying ‘Laa ilaaha illallahu
wahdahu laa shareeka lah lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’ once.”
When the poor ones said, “The rich people perform the tasbihaat as we do, and they outdo us again,”
the Messenger of Allah stated, “This is Allahu ta’ala’s gift, and He gives it to whomever He wills.” [Abu
Dawud]

Hadrat Imam-i Rabbani states:

A person who is performing salat is entreating his/her Rabb and sees that everything other than Him is
equal to nothing. The defects in performing salat are covered with tasbih (saying Subhanallah). In this
way, it is professed that not a worthy or perfect worship could be done. Knowing that being blessed
with performing salat is through His help and His making it possible, one thanks for this great blessing by
saying tahmid (saying Alhamdulillah). And by saying takbir (saying Allahu akbar), it is professed that no
one besides Him is worthy of being worshiped. (Vol. 1, Letter 304)

Question: Is there anything wrong with saying tasbihaat after salat more than 33 times?
ANSWER
When saying tasbihaat after salat, one should be careful with the number 33. There are many hidden
divine reasons in the commandments of our religion. The specific numbers that have been stated by
Islam are like the dose of a medicine. If one exceeds the recommended dose, one cannot benefit from
the medicine. The treasure is at 33. If one goes forward or backward by a meter, one cannot find the
treasure. It is bid’at to say them 40 times or more instead of 33 times with the intention of earning more
thawab. One will not be sinful if one leaves without saying tasbihaat, but one will be destitute of the
thawab of sunnat.

Question: When the imam starts to make du’a, can one who has not performed tasbihaat join the du’a
of the imam?
ANSWER
It is better to join the du’a after saying tasbihaat.

Question: When performing tasbihaat, is it permissible to use the left hand out of necessity?
ANSWER
Of course, it is permissible. The matters concerning our Master the Prophet’s beginning good things
from the right-hand side, his style of attirement, his eating and drinking habits are called sunnat-i
zawaid. There is nothing wrong with omitting them forgetfully or due to an excuse. (Hadiqa)

It is sunnat to do good deeds with the right hand. There is no harm in doing them with the left hand, but
it is excellent to follow our Master the Prophet in all activities.

Question: Do we have to say tasbihaat as loudly as we can hear what we are saying?
ANSWER
Yes, you do.

Question: Which is more rewarding (thawab): counting the tasbihaat on one’s fingers or on a masbaha?
ANSWER
After salat, it is sunnat to count them on one’s fingers. However, for those who lose count because of
having difficulty keeping one’s mind on them, it is more rewarding to count them on a masbaha. For
those who do not fail to keep track of tasbihaat, it is preferable to use their fingers. For those who fail to
keep track of them, it is preferable to use a masbaha. Contrary to what some people think, it does not
go against sunnat to use a masbaha.

Question: Is it permissible to use a masbaha made of amber or silver beads?

ANSWER
Yes, it is permissible.

Question: I perform salats slowly. For this reason, when I complete salat and am about to start saying
tasbihaat, a person begins reciting the Qur’an loudly. Should I listen to it and say tasbihaat after the
recitation, or should I say tasbihaat while it is being recited?
ANSWER
It is fard (obligatory) to listen to the Qur’an al-karim while it is being recited. You cannot earn the
thawab equaling it even if you say the tasbihaat for a thousand years because a nafilah act of worship is
not even a drop of water compared with an ocean. For this reason, you should prefer the fard act; that
is, you should listen to the Qur’an al-karim. You should not even perform a nafilah or sunnat salat when
the Qur’an al-karim is being recited.

Question: Is it permissible to make du’a before or after fard salats by prostrating oneself on the ground?
ANSWER
One should not make du’a in sajda position during salat. One can make du’a by prostrating oneself on
the ground any time other than during fard salats. However, one should not do it during the interval
between a sunnat salat and a fard salat or a fard salat and a sunnat salat. One is allowed to make du’a
in sajda position during a nafilah salat.

Question: When it is very cold in winter, is it permissible to say tasbihaat and the other prayers in bed
after performing salat?
ANSWER
Yes, it is permissible.

Question: Is it makruh to always make the same du’a after salat?

ANSWER
It is not makruh if one brings about a presence of heart and mind during du’a. What is makruh is to
memorize a du’a and to say it in a poetic form. That is, what is makruh is to repeat it parrot fashion.
However, it is not makruh to always say the same phrases with an attentive heart, so that one knows
what one wants.

Question: Is it bid’at to count tasbihaat or dhikr phrases on an electronic counter?

ANSWER
Counting something is not an act of worship, but a habitual practice. Riding a camel is sunnat-i zawaid,
but traveling somewhere on a car or plane does not go against sunnat. Likewise, counting tasbihaat on
an electronic counter is not bid’at. However, using such devices in the company of people makes the
user the centre of attention. For this reason, it may lead to ostentation and show off, so one should use
it in one’s pocket or in private.

Hadrat Ibn Abidin states:

"Our Master the Prophet saw a woman counting tasbihaat on seeds, and he did not forbid her from it.
This event shows that it is permissible to count tasbihaat on stones, seeds, or a masbaha."

Our Master the Prophet would explain the most basic and important part of a matter. For example, he
said, “Call out the adhan at a high place.” For this reason, it cannot be said that calling it out from a
minaret goes against sunnat. A memoir of our spiritual guide clarifies the matter at hand very well:

“When I was a teacher at a high school, one of my students asked me, ‘Sir, does a Muslim who is killed in
wartime die martyr?’ I answered, ‘Yes, he/she does.’ He asked again, ‘Did the Prophet inform us of
that?’ I replied, ‘Yes, he did.’ He continued, ‘Does he die a martyr if he/she drowns in the sea or if
he/she falls from a plane or helicopter?’ I answered, ‘Yes, he/she does.’ He said, ‘Did our Master the
Prophet inform us of that?’ I said, ‘Yes, he did.’ Then he said heroically, ‘Sir, was there a plane and a
helicopter then?’ I explained, ‘Our Master the Prophet was jami-ul-kalim. He stated many facts in one
word or sentence. He said, ‘He who falls from a height will become a martyr.’ Then the student said,
‘Oh, I see.’”

As it is seen, one who falls from a height, be it from a horse, a minaret, or an aerial tramway, and as a
result dies will be a martyr. It cannot be said, “There were not minarets or aerial tramways then.”

Question: Which supplication should we say after salat in order to ask Allah for Paradise and in order to
be protected against Hell?
ANSWER
It is stated in a hadith-i sharif:
(If a person does not say on completion of salat, "Allahumma ajirnee min-an-naar wa ad-khil-nil
Jannata" without talking before it, angels will say, "Woe to him! He has been incapable of asking for
protection from Hell." Paradise will say, "Woe to him! He has been incapable of asking for Paradise.")
[Tabarani]

This supplication means, “O my Rabb, protect me from Hell, and take me into Paradise.” It may be
recited after salat while one is making du’a. What is meant by the words “on completion of salat” is the
time that starts after one has said the tasbihaat and made du’a. To say it before tasbihaat will be bid’at.
If one says this supplication after making du’a, even after talking, one will earn the reward promised.

Repentance (Tawbah)
Taken from www.al-islam.org/nutshell

O you who believe! turn (in repentance) to Allah a sincere turning; May be your Lord will
remove from you your evil… (Qur'an, 66: 8)
Said the Prophet of Allah (s): There are four signs of a repentant:

1) He is sincere to God in his actions 2) He shuns falsehood 3) He attaches firmly to truth

and 4) He is eager to do good.[Al-Harani, Tohaf al-Uqool, p. 20]

Imam Ja‟far al-Sadiq (a) said:

'When a servant turns to God with sincere repentance (tawbatan nasuhan), God loves him
and covers him (i.e. his sins) in the world and the Hereafter.' I said, 'And how does He
cover him? 'The Imam (a) replied, "He makes the two angels (assigned to write his deeds)
forget that which they have writ¬ten of his sins. Then He inspires his bodily members
(saying), "Do conceal his sins," and He inspires the earth's places (saying), "Conceal the
sins that he used to commit over you." Then he meets God, at the time that he meets Him,
in such a manner that there is nothing to give witness against him regarding any sin."

[Al Kulayni, al Kafi, kitab al 'iman wa al kufr, bab al tawbah, hadith # 1]

The reality of Tawbah

Tawbah means return to the soul's initial spirituality after the light of its human nature
(fitrah) and the spirit has been covered by the darkness of sins and disobedience. The
human soul in its initial natural state is devoid of any spiritual merits or vices. But it has
capability to attain any kind of station and its essence carries an intrinsic luminosity. The
commission of sins causes obscurity within the heart, the light of intrin¬sic nature is
extinguished and is changed into darkness. Before total darkness pervades over the tablet
of heart, if a person awakens from slumber of negligence, then this results in repentance
and the soul gradually returns from the darkness to the light of original nature and its
essential spirituality. This is mentioned in the famous hadith from Imam Baqir (a):

“One who repents from sin is like the one who has not sinned..”

[Al Kulayni, al Kafi, kitab al 'iman wa al kufr, bab al tawbah, hadith # 10]

The essentials and conditions of tawbah

Tawbah is not accepted from anyone on the mere verbal declaration, 'I repent.' There are
certain essentials and conditions for the acceptance of tawbah, and some for its perfection.
These are mentioned below in the following hadith:

It is narrated that someone said: 'Astaghfirullah (I seek God's forgiveness) before Imam 'Ali
(a). He said to him. "May thy mother mourn for thee! Do you know what is istighfar? Verily
istighfar is a degree of the 'illiyyun (people of high station) and it is a word that means six
things. First is remorse over the past. Second, the resolution not to return to it ever. Third,
to return to the creatures their rights (usurped in the past) so that you meet God Almighty
in such a state of purity that no one has any claim against you. Fourth, that you fulfil every
duty that was neglected by you, in order to satisfy your obliga¬tion in respect of it. Fifth,
that you attend to the flesh of your body that had grown on unlawful nourishment so that it
melts away as a result of grief and mourning and the skin adheres to the bones, after which
new flesh grows there between. Sixth, that you make your body taste the pain of obedience
in the same way as it tasted earlier the pleasure of sinfulness. When you have done these
things then say Astaghfirul¬lah!

[Nahj al Balagha, saying # 417]

This noble tradition mentions firstly two essentials (remorse and resolution) then the two
important conditions for its acceptance (returning the rights of creatures and then of the
Creator), and finally two points for the perfection of repentance.

Tawbatun nasuh (sincere repentance)

According to great researcher al Shaykh al Bahai (ra), there are several meanings of
tawbatan nasuh. Few of them are mentioned below:

Tawbah that 'advises' the people, i.e. it invites them to simu¬late him (the repenter) on
account of the good effect produced in him or that it `counsels' its performer to root out
sins and to never return to their commission.

Tawbah that is done purely (khalis) for God's sake, in the same way as pure honey free
from wax is called `asal nasuh. The sincerity means that the remorse should be on account
of the ugliness of sins or because they are against God's good pleasure and not for the fear
of hellfire.

The word nasuh is related to nasabah, which means tailoring, because tawbah sews
together the body of faith torn by sin, or because it joins the penitent person to God's
awliya' (friends) and His lovers in the same way as separate pieces of cloth are joined
together by tailoring.

Yet another interpretation says: `nasuh' is an attribute of the penitent and tawbah nasuh is
a tawbah whose performer admonishes him¬self to accomplish it as perfectly as it is worthy
of being carried out until the effects of sins are totally purged from the heart. This task is
only attained by making the soul melt with regret and grief and by clearing the darkness of
vices with the light of virtues.

The sooner it is, the better…

Success in tawbah, meeting all its conditions is a difficult task, rarely attainable. The
indulgence in sin, especially the major and mortal ones, causes a person to become totally
forgetful of tawbah. One should do tawbah as soon as possible after a sin is committed. If
the tree of sinfulness growing in the orchard of the human heart reaches maturity, its roots
becoming strong, the results are calamitous, one of which is to turn away man totally from
repentance. Even if once in a while it comes to his mind, he keeps on postponing it from
day to next day and from one month to another, telling himself, "I will make a sound
repentance at the end of my life and in old age." This is wishful thinking. Such a person
cannot perform tawbah after the roots of sinfulness have grown deep into his personality.
The springtime for tawbah is the time of youth when the sins are fewer, the inner
dark¬ness of the heart incomplete and the conditions of tawbah easier to fulfil. This God
given opportunity should be availed at all costs and one shouldn‟t pay attention to satanic
tricks of postponing tawbah. An intelligent person when realizes this fact, certainly abstains
from sins and undoes wrongs done by him in the past. His heart would be filled with
remorse resulting in firm determination to quit sinful life. God's graceful help becomes his
lot and if he is sincere is his tawbah, he becomes the beloved of God as mentioned in the
holy verse:

“Verily God loves the repentant”(2: 222)

Said Imam „Ali (a):

“If you want to win His blessings in the next world, than today is the day of preparation
while tomorrow is the day of reward. The place to proceed to is Paradise while the place of
doom is Hell. Is there no one among you to repent for his deeds before his death,
compensate for wrongs he has done and do good before the calamity of retribution
descends upon him?”

[Nahjul Balagha, sermon # 33]

A call to awaken the heart for Tawbah

O man! How sinful and foolish you are not to know the worth of the bounties of your
Provider. After having spent years in dis¬obedience and after prolonged disloyalty to such a
merciful Lord, Who has pro¬vided all the means of your comfort and ease without that
being, na`udhu bi Allah, of any imaginable benefit to Him having vio¬lated His sanctities
and taken shamelessness and recalcitrance to their extreme, now that you are remorseful,
penitent and repentant, God Almighty has taken you for His loved one. What abundance of
mercy and what plentitude of bounty is it! O God! We are incapable of thanking You for Your
bounties. Our tongues are unable to praise and extol You. All that we can do is to bow our
heads in shame and ask Your pardon for our shamelessness. We don‟t deserve Your mercy.
Yet, indeed Your mercy is more abundant and Your bounties are more inclusive than can be
described.

A wise man should endeavour to intensify the form of contrition and remorse in the heart so
that God willing, it enters the burning chamber. That is, through meditation about the
terrible consequences of sin, remorse becomes stronger in his heart, thereby voluntarily
kindling the holy fire, the fire about which Qur'an says: The fire of God kindled (roaring)
over the hearts covered down upon them, in columns outstretched. (104: 6-8) In his heart,
burning the fire of remorse will incinerate all his sins and burn away all its rust and
corrosion. He should know that were he not to kindle himself this fire in this world and were
he not to open upon himself the door of this hell which itself is the main gateway of
Paradise he would inevitably pass from this world into the next world to face the terribly
cauterizing fire prepared for him there. Thereupon the doors of Hell shall be opened and the
doors of Paradise closed to him.

O God! Give us a chest lit with the fire of remorse. Set our hearts aflame with the worldly
fire and set it afire by throwing into it the sparks of remorse. Remove the corrosion of our
hearts and take us from this world in a state of freedom from the consequences of sins.
Verily Thou art the Lord of bounties.

[Adopted from Al-Khumayni, 40 hadith, chapter 17, „Tawbah‟]

Conclusion:
Imam Zain al-Abedin (a) said:

“My God ! You are He who has opened a door to Your pardon and named it 'repentance‟ for
You said, „Repent to God with unswerving repentance‟ (66: 8). What is the excuse for him
who remains heedless of entering the door after its opening?”

[Sahifa al-Kamilah, the whispered prayers of repenters]

Ten Incidents to Enlighten the Sleeping Souls

Since the events and anecdotes of the pious are very useful in awaking sleeping
souls we present herewith some incidents regarding those who did repentance
(Tawba).

1. Wine changed into Vinegar

Sabzewari writes in his book Misbahul Qulûb that when the order prohibiting
wine-drinking was revealed a caller was sent by the Messenger of Allah (S) who
announced that henceforth no one shall consume liquor. By chance, one day the
Holy Prophet (S) was passing through a by lane when a Muslim man also entered
it carrying a bottle of wine in his hand. He was terrified on seeing the Holy
Prophet (S) and he said fervently to the Almighty Allah, “I repent for this and I
shall never drink again. Please save me from disgrace.”

When the Messenger of Allah (S) came near he asked, “What is there in the
bottle?”

“It contains Vinegar,” replied the man. The Holy Prophet (S) put forward his hand
and asked the man to put a little bit on his palm. When the Prophet (S) examined it,
it was indeed vinegar. The person was overwhelmed with emotions and he began
to weep and say, “By Allah! It was wine!”
“But before this I had repented and begged Allah not to disgrace me,” He added.
The Messenger of Allah (S) said that it was true,

“Allah changes the sins of repenters into good deeds. “They are the ones whose
sins are changed into good deeds by Allah.”

2. Repentance is accepted till the last breath

A tradition is recorded from Muawiyah bin Wahab in the chapter of the time for
Tawba in al-Kâfi. He says, ‘We were travelling towards Makkah and accompanying
us was a religious old man who did not follow the Jafariyya school of thought.
Throughout the journey he recited full prayer (as is the practice among Ahle
sunnat). The nephew of this old man was also with him and he was a Shia. The old
man fell sick during the journey and he told his nephew to explain to him the Shia
faith that Allah Almighty make it a way of salvation for him. All his friends were of
the opinion that he should be left to die on his previous belief.

The nephew was not able to accept this and he began to say, “O Uncle! After the
passing away of the Holy Prophet (S), except for a few people, everyone turned
back from Islam. After the Holy Prophet (S), ‘Ali (a.s.) deserved to be obeyed and
it was obligatory on the people to follow him.” The old man sighed deeply and
said, “I also have faith in this.”

The next moment he was dead. After this we went to meet Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq
(a.s.). ‘Ali bin Sarâ related this incident to Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.). He said, that
the old man was among the people of Paradise.

“How is it possible, Maula?” asked ‘Ali bin Sarâ. “He accepted the true faith only
in his last moments?”

Imam (a.s.) said,

“What more do you want from him? By Allah! He has entered Paradise.”
This shows that there is time for returning to the truth and repenting for sins even
till the last breath. (However, one should repent before one is sure of death, as
mentioned by us before).

3. A Perfect feeling of Allah (S.w.T.)’s fear is Tawba

Imam Zainul Âbidîn (a.s.) is quoted in volume 15, page 117 of Bihâr al-Anwâr to
have said,

“There was a shroud thief among Bani Israel. One day his companion fell sick and
was soon anticipating death. He called his friend, the shroud thief and asked how
much he valued him as a friend. The thief accepted that he was a very good friend.
The friend said that he had a desire and the thief agreed to fulfil it. The friend
showed him two shrouds and told him to choose one for himself so that the other
one could be used to bury him “But do not reopen my grave after I am buried and
make me naked.” This was not acceptable to the thief but due to his friend‟s
persuasion he chose the better shroud for himself and went away.
When the friend died and was buried, the thief said to himself, “The dead cannot
know that I have broken a promise to him.” He began to dig the grave and was
about to unclothe it when he heard a scream and the corpse was saying, “Don‟t do
this!” The thief was frightened and filled up the grave. When his own death neared,
the thief summoned his sons and asked them how he had been as a father to them?
The sons agreed that he was the best of fathers. The thief said that he had a last
wish and the sons agreed to fulfil it.
He said that after he died they should cremate him and throw half his ashes into
the sea and half into the desert. The sons agreed to do this and fulfilled their
promise after the thief father died. However, the Almighty Allah gathered his
scattered ashes and made him alive again. Allah asked him, “Why did you make
such a bequest?” He said, “By Your Might, I made such a bequest due to the fear
of Your chastisement.”
Allah said, “I have pardoned you and changed your fear into safety and also
satisfied the people who had claims of rights upon you.”
 This incident proves that if a person is ashamed of his deeds and has fear of Allah
(S.w.T.), the Almighty shall pardon him and also make his enemies satisfied with
him.

4. Refraining from sin brings forgiveness

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says in Rawdatul Kâfi that there was a hermit in Bani
Israel. He was absolutely free from sins. Upon seeing this the head Satan called
his cohorts and asked which one of them could mislead this man? One of them
volunteered and Satan asked what method he would use? He said through
women. The Satan told him that he would not succeed because the person was
oblivious to sexual pleasure. Another Satan rose up and said he would deviate
him through wine and sensuality.

The big Satan said that he too was unsuitable for this job because the sage was
not interested in these things. A third Satan stood up and said that he would
cause him to err through good deeds and noble character. The big Satan said that
indeed he was fit for the job. This Satan, at once went to the place where the sage
was engrossed in his meditation, and stood up beside him and began to pray
Salât. The worshipper was feeling sleepy but the Satan continued to perform
prayers. When the worshipper got tired he would take a rest but the Satan did
not take a break.

The worshipper felt himself inferior and went to the devil to ask him the secret of
his stamina in praying. The junior devil did not give any reply and the worshipper
reiterated his question. Yet there was no response from the devil. When the
worshipper asked him the third time the devil said, “The fact is that I had
committed a great sin and since then whenever I remember my sin, I get impetus
to worship more.” The worshipper asked him what sin he had committed so that
even he can do it and gain the stamina to worship so much. The devil said, “Go to
a particular prostitute in the town, pay her two dirhams and fulfill your needs
with her.” “From where can I get two dirhams?” asked the worshipper, “I don’t
even know what a Dirham means”. The devil took out two dirhams from under his
feet and gave them to the worshipper and also gave him his cloak and sent him
towards the city.

The worshipper sought the address of the prostitute. The people guided him
thinking that he was going to her to guide her towards morality. The worshipper
gave the two dirhams to the woman and asked her to entertain him. The
prostitute invited him inside with respect and said, “Pious people like you do not
visit prostitutes. Why have you taken such a step?” The worshipper explained his
aim in detail. The woman told him, “Actually, avoiding a sin is easier than
repenting for it. Because it is not necessary that a sinner will get a chance to
repent. I think that the one who has advised you for this is Satan, who has
assumed a human form to mislead you. Go back to your place and you shall find
him missing.”

The worshipper returned home and by chance the prostitute died the same night.
In the morning people saw the following inscribed on her door: Take part in the
funeral of this woman, She is from the people of Paradise. The people fell into
doubt and were so astounded that for Three days they were not able to bury her.
Till the Almighty Allah revealed upon His Messenger, Mûsa Ibn Imran (a.s.) to
recite her funeral prayer and also command the people to participate in it.
“Because she had prevented a servant of Mine from committing a grievous sin. So
I have forgiven all her sins and made Paradise incumbent on her.”

5. Allah (S.w.T.)’s Mercy is Very Vast

Tafsîr al-Safi mentions under the exegesis of Surah Âli- ‘Imran that one day Sa’ad
Ibn Ma’az came weeping to the Messenger of Allah (S). After replying to his Salâm
the Prophet (S) asked him the reason for crying. Sa’ad said. “O Messenger of
Allah! A young man is standing outside the house and weeping upon his youth like
a woman mourns the death of her child. He desires to meet you.” The Holy
Prophet (S) ordered that the young man be presented to him. Sa’ad came to the
Prophet (S) with the youth. He saluted the Messenger (S). After replying his Salâm
the Holy Prophet (S) asked the young man the reason for his grief. “Why shouldn’t
I grieve,” said the young man, “I have committed so many sins that even a few of
them are sufficient to earn me Hell-fire. I am sure I shall be punished for my sins.

The Messenger of Allah (S) said,

“Have you attributed partners to Allah?”

“I seek refuge of Allah from attributing a partner to Him.”

“Have you murdered one unjustly?”

“No”,

“Allah shall certainly forgive your sins even if they are like mountains,” the
Prophet of Allah (S) said.
“But my sins are greater than mountains,” said the young man.”

“Even if your sins are heavier than seven earths, seas, mountains, trees and all
creatures Allah will condone them.”
“My sins are heavier than all of these,” said the youth.

“Allah will forgive them even if they are heavier than the heavens, stars, Arsh and
Kursi.”
“My sins are more than these.”

“Pity on you! O young man! Who is greater, your sins or your Lord?”
Hearing this, the young man fell into prostration and said,

“My Lord is pure, nothing is greater than Him and He is greater than the greatest
thing.”
“Would the High and Mighty Lord not forgive your great sins?” asked the Prophet
(S).

‘No’, said the young man and became silent.

Then the Holy Prophet (S) said,

“Fie on you, young man, can you tell me about one of your great sins?”
“Yes, for seven years I used to exhume corpses and steal their shrouds. One day a
young girl from the Ansars died. After she was buried I opened her grave in the
middle of the night and removed her shroud. I was about to return when the
Shaitan instigated me, I looked at her body and defiled her chastity. When I was
leaving, a voice came from behind her head, ‘Fie on you for the chastisement of
Qiyâma! You made me naked and junub (ritually impure). Fie on you for the fire
of Hell.’”

Then he said, “O Messenger of Allah (S)! I think I shall not be able to even smell
the fragrance of Paradise. What do you think?”

“O Transgressor! Get away from me,” said the Prophet (S), “Lest your fire may
burn me! How close you are to the fire!”

He repeated this sentence a number of times and the youth finally went away from
there. After taking some necessary items he went to the mountains of Madinah. He
used to tie his hands behind the neck and plead for forgiveness. “I am Your sinful
slave and degraded servant. I am regretful of my deeds. O Allah! I went to Your
Messenger and he sent me away. This has increased my fear. I implore You by
Your greatness, do not make me hopeless and include me among Your mercies.”
He continued this for forty days. Even the beasts began to take pity upon him.
After forty days had passed he asked, “O my Lord! What is Your decision
regarding me. If You have forgiven me, inform Your Messenger about it. If You
have made a firm decision to punish me, burn me at once or subject me to some
other punishment and save me from the degradation of Qiyâma.” Upon this, the
Almighty Allah revealed the following ayats on His Messenger (S):
“And those who when they commit an indecency or do injustice to their souls
remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their faults — and who forgives the faults
but Allah, and (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done. (As for)
these — their reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and gardens beneath which
rivers flow, to abide in them, and excellent is the reward of the labourers.”
(Surah Âli- „Imran 3:135-136)

As soon as these verses were revealed the Messenger of Allah (S) came out of the
door reciting the ayats and smiling. He told the companions, “Who can tell me
about the repenting young man?” The companions said, “O Messenger of Allah!
He is on such and such mountain.”

The Holy Prophet (S) went to the young man with his companions and found him
standing between two rocks. His hands were tied behind him and his face was
black due to the heat of the sun. The eyelashes had fallen due to weeping and he
was saying: O Allah! You bestowed countless bounties on me and did favour on
me. If I could only know whether my abode is Paradise or Hell. O My Lord! My sins
are greater than your heavens, earths, Arsh and throne. If I could only know
whether You would forgive me or degrade me on the day of Qiyâma.” He was
repeating these words and weeping. He picked up sand and put it on his head.
Looking at his conditions, the animals and birds around him were also weeping.
The Messenger of Allah (S) came to him and untied his hands. Cleaned the soil
from his head and said,

“Young man! Good news for you that Allah has accepted your Tawba.” Then he
told his companions, “You should repent for your sins in this way” and recited the
above-mentioned ayats. In this way the good news of Paradise was conveyed to
the young man.

A point needs to be explained here. The Holy Prophet (S) drove away the young
man probably because he wanted his fear of divine punishment to intensify to
such an extent that it could atone for his deadly sins. That the tears of regret may
wash his evil deeds and he may qualify for divine mercy. This was exactly what
happened. The more earnest a person is in seeking forgiveness the more he shall
be near to divine mercy.

Hence the driving away of the young man became a cause for the young man’s
expiation.

6. One should remain between Hope and fear till the end of one’s life

It is mentioned in Safinatul Behar (Vol. 1, page 127) that the Holy Prophet (S)
besieged the fort of Banu Qurayza. Banu Qurayza was a Jewish tribe who lived
near Madinah and they were always trying to harm the Holy Prophet (S) and the
Muslims. At last the Messenger of Allah (S) decided that there was no solution to
this problem except to attack and destroy them. During the siege Banu Qurayza
requested that Abu Lubaba be allowed to meet them so that they can seek his
counsel. Abu Lubaba was acquainted with the Jews before this. Abu Lubaba was
commanded by the Holy Prophet (S) to go to Banu Qurayza. When he went to
them, they asked him if it was advisable for them to obey the orders of the
Messenger of Allah (S).

He told them to accept the orders of the Messenger (S) without any delay
because he had arrived to destroy them. Saying this, Abu Lubaba made a gesture
towards his neck. However, immediately after this he began to regret the act and
thought that he had committed Khayanat with the Messenger of Allah (S) and
exposed his secret. Deep in thought he exited from the Fort but due to shame he
could not face the Holy Prophet (S). He went straight away to the Masjidun
Nabawi and tied his neck to a pillar. Today the same pillar stands near the tomb of
the Prophet (S) and is referred to as the Pillar of Tawba. Abu Lubaba said that he
would not release himself from the pillar till he died or the Almighty forgave him.
The companions informed the Holy Prophet (S) about this. The Messenger of
Allah (S) said, “If he had come to me I would have requested Allah for his
forgiveness but since he has directly referred to Allah, He knows better what to
decide. Abu Lubaba fasted during the day and in the evening his daughter brought
him some food just enough to sustain him. She used to untie him for necessary
needs and then tied him up again. This continued for sometime. One day while
the Messenger of Allah (S) was present in the house of Umm Salama the verses of
Abu Lubaba’s exoneration were revealed. The Holy Prophet (S) told Umm Salama
that the Tawba of Abu Lubaba has been accepted by Allah.

Umm Salama asked him if she was permitted to inform Abu Lubaba for the same?
“Yes! Why not?” replied the Prophet (S). Umm Salama went to her door and
informed Abu Lubaba.

“Alhamdolillah”, said Abu Lubaba. When the people offered to untie him he
restrained them saying that only the Holy Prophet (S) could release him. The
Messenger of Allah (S) arrived and said,

“The Almighty Allah has accepted your repentance. Now you are free of sins as a
newborn child.”
He asked, “Do you permit me to give all my wealth in Sadaqah as a token of
thankfulness?”

‘No!’ said the Prophet (S).

‘Then 2/3 of my wealth?”

“No!”
“One third?” persisted Abu Lubaba.

Finally the Messenger of Allah (S) allowed him to donate one-third of his wealth
and then recited the following ayat,

And others have confessed their faults, they have mingled a good deed and an evil
one; may be Allah will turn to them (mercifully); surely Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful. Take alms out of their property, you would cleanse them and purify them
thereby, and pray for them; surely your prayer is a relief to them; and Allah is
Hearing, Knowing. Do they not know that Allah accepts repentance from His
servants and takes the alms, and that Allah is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the
Merciful?
(Surah at-Tawba 9:102-104)

The above two incidents tell us that a person who does Tawba must keep in mind
two things. First of all he must not consider his sin insignificant. He should be
absolutely ashamed of it and he must implore the Lord’s forgiveness. He must feel
the compelling need of divine forgiveness and strive to achieve this with sincerity
and continue in this pursuit till he is certain that Allah (S.w.T.) has forgiven him.
Generally, this certainty is not achieved even till the time of his death. So he must
continue to dread Allah (S.w.T.)’s chastisement and implore His forgiveness till the
Angels of death will Insha’Allah give one the good news of divine forgiveness and
bounties of the Hereafter. Secondly, as we already mentioned, it is incumbent on
us to have hope and fear with regard to the acceptance of Tawba.

7. Controlling ones carnal desires causes salvation

Sayyidul Ulamah Mir Damad’s grandson Fakhrul Muhaqqaqîn quotes Shahîd al-
Thani in his book, Fazail-us-Sadât that a man arrived in Egypt. There he saw a
blacksmith extracting red-hot iron from the kiln with his bare hands. The hot iron
did not affect his skin. Certain that he must be some holy personality he came
near and saluted him and said, “By the one who has gifted you this ability, please
pray for me.”

Upon hearing this request the black smith began to weep. Then he said, “O Slave
of Allah! I am not as you think and I do not count myself among the righteous.”

The visitor said, “But the gift that you have is not possible for anyone except a
righteous personality?”
“It is due to another person,” explained the blacksmith.

The visitor implored him for further enlightenment.

The Blacksmith said,

“One day I was busy in my workshop when a most beautiful woman came to me
and complained of her poverty and difficulties. I was stunned by her beauty. I told
her to satisfy my needs and in return I shall solve her problems. She told me to
fear Allah and said that she was not of loose character. “Okay!” said I, “You can
go!” The woman went away dejected. After a while she returned and said that her
need had compelled her to return to me. I took her to a house. We went inside
and I locked the door. She asked me why I have locked the door? “So that people
may not know about us” I said. She asked me why I did not fear Allah and I
replied, “because He is Forgiving and Merciful.” When I approached her I found
her trembling like a thin twig in gusty wind. She was weeping profusely. “What is
the matter with you”, I asked.

She said that she was fearful of Allah Who was a witness over them. “If you leave
me alone, I can guarantee that Allah shall make you immune to the fire of this
world and Hell-fire,” the woman said. The words had the desired effect and I gave
up my evil intention. I gave her whatever I had and said that I was releasing her
due to the fear of Allah (S.w.T.). The woman returned home satisfied. That night, I
dreamt of a lady wearing a crown of rubies. She was telling me, “May Allah give
you a goodly reward,” When I asked her who she was, she said that she was the
mother of that poor woman. “May Allah keep you safe from the fire of this world
and the Hereafter,” she prayed. I asked her to which family she belonged and she
told me that they were from the progeny of the Holy Prophet (S). I thanked Allah.
From that day fire does not affect me. I also hope that the fire of Hell would cause
me no harm.
We conclude that Allah (S.w.T.) cools the fire for one who controls his carnal
desires and abstains from indecencies despite having all the means. Allah shall
accommodate such people in His Mercy. Thus, the Holy Qur’an says,

And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul
from low desires, Then surely the garden — that is the abode.
(Surah an-Nâzi‟ât 79:40-41)
8. Leaving Sins and respecting the Sayyids cause Salvation

The same book mentions another incident wherein Ishaq bin Yaqûb Tahiri had a
dream in which he saw the Messenger of Allah (S) saying to him,

“Release the killer!”

He awoke with a start and summoned his servants and asked them who the killer
was and where he was at the moment. The killer was presented at once. He had
himself confessed to the murder. Ishaq told him to explain everything truthfully
and that he shall be released. He said, “I belonged to a group of people with bad
morals and we committed fornication in Baghdad where an old woman supplied
us with girls. One day the old woman brought a very charming and beautiful girl.
As the transaction neared completion the girl screamed and fell down
unconscious. When she regained consciousness she implored us to fear Allah
(S.w.T.) and leave her alone. “This old woman had lied to me that she was taking
me to see a play,” She explained. “She has cheated me. Please fear Allah, I am
from the Progeny of ‘Ali (a.s.) and Fatimah Zahra (S).”

The prisoner said, “My companions did not heed the entreaties of the girl and
began to force her into submission. The status of Hazrat Fatima (S) made me feel
ashamed of myself and I began to prevent them. They attacked me in return and
the wounds are still visible. Finally I struck the head of the rapist and he died, and
I succeeded in saving the girl. I sent her home. She prayed for me saying, ‘Allah
will save you just as you have saved me.’ Presently there was a lot of commotion
and my companions caught me as I held the blood-smeared sword. The person
whom I had hit was writhing in blood. The bystanders caught me and brought me
here. Ishaq said, ‘I forgive you for Allah and for the sake of the Messenger of Allah
(S).’ The murderer said, ‘I too repent of my deeds. By the Holy Personalities who
saved me, I shall never commit such indecent acts again.’”

Allah (S.w.T.) helps those who help the oppressed and give up sinful acts. This
man was saved because he had saved the honour of the Messenger of Allah (S).
Allah (S.w.T.) rewarded him not only by saving his life but also by giving him the
Tawfîq to do Tawba.

9. Do not consider a Small thing insignificant

The late Hâj Shaykh Abbas Qummi (a.r.) writes in his book Manazel Âkhera that a
person name Ibn Samad used to take account of himself many times during the
day and night. One day when he was calculating the number of days he had lived,
he realized that sixty years of his age have passed. He calculated the number of
days in sixty years to be 21500. “Woe upon me!” he said, “Even if I have not
committed more than one sin everyday, I would still meet Allah with the burden
of 21500 sins.” As soon as he realized this he fell down unconscious and died
within a short time.

Narrations state that once the Holy Prophet (S) during a journey camped at a
place absolutely bereft of any vegetation. He told the companions to collect
sticks. All of them said that they were in such a desolate place that it was not
possible to find any sticks. The Messenger of Allah (S) ordered each of them to
collect as many twigs as he can. In the due course each companion brought some
sticks and put them before the Prophet (S). When all of them had made a pile of
sticks, the Holy Prophet (S) said,
“Sins also accumulate in this way.”

The Messenger of Allah (S) wanted to show by this example that even though we
may be unaware of our sins when they accumulate they could make a big heap. If
we calculate the sins we commit in our life they shall reach a staggering figure.
Thus when Ibn Samad assumed one sin for each day of his life he found 21500
sins in his scroll of deeds.

In the words of Sa’di the Persian Poet,

“An increase of drop on a drop makes a stream

An increase of a stream upon a stream makes an ocean.”

10. The Bounties of Allah (S.w.T.) cannot be computed

Fazil Naraqi writes in Merâjus Sadât that a wanton lady named Shauna lived in
Basra. She did not miss a single sinful gathering in the town. One day she was
passing through the streets of Basra with her maids. She passed by a house from
where there was a lot of weeping and wailing. The wanton said, “Subhan Allah,
what a commotion!”

Then she sent one of her maids to find the reason behind the commotion. The
maid went inside but did not return. The second maidservant was dispatched but
she too did not return. Finally a third one was deputed inside with express orders
to return soon. The third maid went inside as in compliance to the order returned
soon. She said, “O Lady! The weeping and wailing is not for the dead. It is for the
living ones. It is the mourning of the evil-doers, the oppressors and the wretched
sinners.” Shauna became more interested. She said, “I am going to see for
myself.” When she entered the house she saw a speaker delivering a sermon.
People had gathered around him. He was warning them of divine retribution and
they all were weeping. Shauna had entered when the speaker was explaining the
tafsîr of the following ayat.

When it shall come into their sight from a distant place, they shall hear its
vehement raging and roaring. And when they are cast into a narrow place in it,
bound, they shall there call out for destruction.
(Surah al-Furqân 25: 12-13)

The ayats had profound effect on Shauna. She said to the speaker, “I am one of
the evil doers and sinners. Would my Lord forgive me if I repent for my deeds?”
“Certainly!” said the speaker, “Even if your deeds equal that of Shauna”. “I am
Shauna, myself,” said Shauna, “and I promise that I shall never commit a sin
again.’ The speaker said, “Allah is beneficent and Merciful, if you do good, He
shall certainly forgive you.” Shauna did Tawba, released all her slaves and started
worshipping. She kept trying to compensate for her sins.

At last her flesh sagged and she became extremely weak and thin. One day she
noticed her melting flesh and said, “O how much my flesh has melted. If this is the
condition in this life, what would happen in the hereafter?” A voice from the
unseen said, “Be patient! And keep serving Us like this till you are rewarded on
the day of Qiyâma.”

A couplet:

“No repentant sinner comes to Our door,

Whose sins are not washed away in the flood of his regret

Abu Sa`id reported that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, "Perform the enduring goods
deeds (al-baaqiyaat al-SaliHaat) more frequently." They asked, "What are these enduring good deeds?"

my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I
am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the
evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I
confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except
You.)

The above du'a is known as the Sayyid al-Istighfar and is the most superior way of asking for
forgiveness from Allah. Whoever says it during the day with firm faith in it, and dies on the same
day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites it at night
with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.[20]

If someone implements ten verses of the Qur'an, He/She will not be considerate amongst the
negligent on the Day of Judgment.[21]

If someone implements one hundred verses of the Qur'an, He/She will be considered among the
obedient on the Day of Judgment.[22]

If someone implements one thousand verses of the Qur'an, He/She will be amongst the extremely
rich on the Day of Judgement.[23]

 Re: How To Repel Poverty.

Aren't many of these ahadith considered dhaif or mawdu? Like the one about reading surat al-
waqiah and the one about istighfar (can't quite remember where I heard this)? And I found this
regarding the hadith about reciting "subhanAllahi wa bihamdihi, subhanAllahil Azim,
astaghfirullah" before the fajr salah:

The first hadeeth was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: A man came to the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and complained to him of poverty or debt.
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him:

“What about the prayer of the angels and the tasbeeh of all creation by means of which Allaah
sends down provision from heaven?”

Ibn ‘Umar said: I said: What is that, O Messenger of Allaah?

The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) sat up straight, as he had
been reclining, and said:

“O Ibn ‘Umar, from the break of dawn until Fajr prayer say: Subhaan Allaah wa bi hamdihi,
subhaan Allaah al-‘Azeem wa astaghfir Allaah (Glory and praise be to Allaah, glory be to Allaah
the Almighty, and I ask Allaah for forgiveness), one hundred times, and worldly pleasure and
comfort will surely come to you, and for every word that you say, Allaah will create an angel
who will glorify Him, and you will have his reward until the Day of Resurrection.”

This hadeeth was narrated by three isnaads, all of which are false and fabricated.

The Pilgrimage to the House (Hajj), are true.

I declare my belief in God, His Angels, His Books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and in
Destiny; both its good and evil being from Allah (Exalted is He!). May the truth of what I say be
accepted,

O Lord. We have commended these two testimonials to your safekeeping, O Messenger of Allah.
They are for us a trust on the Day of Judgment, O you who were sent by Allah (Exalted is He!)
as a mercy to the worlds.

(Fa qutia‘ dabirul qawma illadhina zalamu wal

6:45)

Allahu Akbar (Then go straight to prostration,

without wiping face or chest with hands.)
O Allah! Guide us, by Your favour, to those whom You guided, and pardon us with those whom You have
pardoned. Bring us close to those whom You have brought nigh (befriended), and bless us in all that You
gave us. Protect us and turn away from us the evil of what You have decreed. For it is You that decrees
and there is no decree upon You. You do not humiliate the one whom You have befriended and do not
increase (empower) the one whom You have taken as an enemy. Blessed and Exalted are You, our Lord.
To You, all praise for what You have decreed. We ask Your forgiveness, O God, and turn in repentance to
You; God’s blessings and peace be upon the unlettered Prophet and on his family and his Companions.O
God! Lift from us trials which no one but You can lift.O God! Give us to drink from the rain of Your Mercy
and let us not be of the despondent; Lord, forgive and have mercy, for You are (Most) Merciful.O God!
Open for us a manifest opening for You are the best of Openers.

(So the last remnant of the people who did evil was cut off. Praise be to God, Lord of the
Worlds.) (6:45) God is Greatest.

Allah, there is no God but He, the Ever Living, Self Subsisting. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor
sleep; to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him
except by His permission? He knows what lies before them, and what will be after them, and they
comprehend not anyting of His knowledge except for what He wills. His throne comprises the heavns
and the earth, and their preservation oppresses Him not; and He is the Most Hight, the Almighty. ( Ch. 2:

and Thou makest the day to enter into the night, Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou

O Allah! No one can disallow the one to whom You are giving, and there is no giver, to the one whom
You have denied. And there is no refusing Your decree. Riches and good fortune will not profit the
possessor thereof with You (for nothing will profit him but acting in obedience to You). My Lord, there is
no power and no strengh save in Allah, All-High and Almighty.

Lisan al-Din (Language of Faith)

O Allah! Show us the truth as truth, and give us the strength to follow it. Show us falsehood as
falsehood, and give us the strength to put it aside, with Your mercy, O Most Merciful!

Still sensitive to praise and dispraise?
Bismillah.

O son, I'd be lying if I say I am insensitive to praise and dispraise. Maybe I am insensitive to praise but I
still get sensitive when it comes to dispraise. Well, this is what Ghawth al-Azam has to say about this:

As long as you are given to this world and to creatures, you would be sensitive to both praise and
dispraise, because you are living through your lower self, your passion and your natural inclination.
When your heart attains to your Lord ('Azza wa Jall) and He takes charge of you, you will rid of your
sensitivity to praise and dispraise and you will thus be relieved of a heavy burden. If you work for this
world depending on your might and strength, you will lose, be torn apart, tire and be dissatisfied.
Similarly, if you work for the hereafter with your strength you will lose. When you work for the True
One, open the door to livelihood by the hand of His strength and trust in Him and open the door of acts
of obedience by the hand of His guidance. Once you have attained to the spiritual station of seeking
Him, ask Him for strength and truthfulness in asking for His strength and His help. Place the feet of your
heart and your innermost being firmly in His presence and give up all preoccupations with this world and
the hereafter.

- Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani

O son, let nothing leave a mark on our hearts save Allah.

Let there be no other patterns on our hearts save Hu.

Loving the old

Bismillah.

O son, I have no special quotes for you today.

Today I just want to show you how much love and joy the elderlies have to share with us. Tok Teh is a
close buddy of my mother. Everytime we visit her, she would either be praying or making zikr or sharing
laughter with the neighbors as she eagerly waits for her Shabi Arus (Wedding Night). She is worried that
we might not be around on her big day though.

Tok Teh exudes so much love that everytime after meeting her I feel like I am reborn into a bright new
world filled with rainbows.

May Allah grant her the best of husnul khatimah and prepares for her the most beautiful abode where
she would frolic happily in green silk gown, and her neck adorned with pearls and rubies. Oh
how stunning she would be, just like her younger days when she was one of the most gorgeous girls in
our village. Then again, she is eternally elegant to all who love her.

Perchance, the du'a below is one of her beauty secrets.

Allah hummaj 'al au sa'a rizqika

'alaiya 'inda kibari sinni wan qitho'i 'umuri

O Allah! Expand for me Your provision

till my old age

and till the end of my life.

Seeing none but Him
Bismillah.
One mu'aleem whom I love said:

Allah 'speaks'.

How does He speak? Not a branch moves without His order. You will not sleep or walk without His
orders either. His orders or instructions are his qalam (speech). That should be your aqidah (religious
stand).

When you look at the rambutans (a tropical fruit), you should 'see' Allah. You see people getting
married, you should see Allah. Only then you have shuhud (witnessing). Do not question His af'al
(actions). But be careful, He will question your af'al!

You must continously say in your heart, Allah, Allah, Allah...

Get rid of everything else from your heart. May Allah make your heart clean so that only His Name
occupies your heart. So that you witness only Him, see only Him. So I am telling you, you must be a salik.

You must do zikir nafi (denial):

La ilaha illAllah

Then you must do zikir isbat (proclamation):

Allah Allah...

which is ism zat (name of His essence).

You must also say other zikir nafi such as:

La maqbud illAllah

When you say this, you must truly be in love with none, save Allah. You should not be in love with gold,
people or clothes. I see that you now have many lovers in your heart. You have many fears too. So you
must deny and get rid of all that - LA! (No!)

You should say:

La maqbud illAllah
La maqsud illAllah

La mawjud illAllah
La mawjud illAllah is shuhud wahdatul zat. When you see a tree, you see the essence of the tree which
comes into existence by virtue of His Essence, therefore you must be able to see His essence.

La maqbud illallah is shuhud wahdatul af'al which is witnessing His actions.

Shuhud is is the fruit of a pure and genuine aqidah. You will have attained it when you are able to see
wahdaniyat (His Oneness/Omnipotence/Omnipresence/Hu Ahad) that for anything and everything, it is
He who determines. To achieve that, I keep saying that you must be salik, that you should be 'walking'
towards Allah in accordance to the shari'at (the religious laws) and sunnah (the Prophetic traditions).

Fana (annihilation) means that you see nothing as being the acts of akwan/makhluk (created beings).
When your witnessing (shuhud) becomes continuous/perpetual, your heart will be freed of seeing the
acts of the creations. You believe in your heart that it is all His actions. This is the penultimate of one's
aqidah. Baqa means that you will remember none save Allah.

So again, fana is when you deny (nafi) that things happen on their own accord through makhluk (created
beings) while baqa is when you acknowledge (isbat) solely Allah who creates all. This is the highest
aqidah and iman.

So recite:

1. La ilaha illAllah. La maqbud bi haqqin illAllah.

2. La ilaha illAllah. La maqsud illAllah.

3. La ilaha illAllah. La mawjud illAllah.

After having denied all, you should move on to profess (zikir) Allah, Allah, Allah...

Wallahu a'lam.

May I be forgiven for any errors in transmission.

The elect among us

Bismillah.

Someone asked me recently whether my guru was genuine. And another tariqa follower (not
Naqshbandi) had also asked me whether my other guru was genuine. Needless to say I got disturbed
and upset when people questioned people whom I respect and love. I just wish those who have doubts
about anyone would be a gentleman and meet, and speak with the person themselves. But I doubt they
would do that.

I am naive. In many instances I simply follow my heart. When I meet some wonderful religious people I
just submit myself easily because they are simply beautiful beings and they are irresistible! When they
speak, their words penetrate your deepest heart and you just cannot deny the truth.

O son, walk and search for your guru. That is if you want to reach to the spiritual world. Listen to the
words of the venerated Fariduddin Attar:

"After the Qur'an and the sayings of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, there is not any discourse that is more
beautiful than the discourse of the friends of Allah. This is because their speech is a reflection of inner
divine knowledge. It is not the words of a learned person; rather their speech is a gift from Allah. For this
reason, they are called the heirs of the prophets. The hearts of those touched by their speech become
full of divine inspiration. They are re-energized as they fill with light and spiritual secrets are revealed to
them. In the process of this transformation they are protected from the whispers of Satan as they are
freed from enslavement to mundane desires.

The saints reflect the qualities of the prophets; some of them reflect the qualities of Adam, some of
them reflect the qualities of Ibrahim, some reflect the qualities of Musa or Isa while some reflect the
qualities of Muhammad s.a.w.

Some of them are people of knowledge, some of them are people of love, some of them are people of
social interaction while some of them are people immersed in reunion with Allah; some of them reflect
no qualities, that is they are hidden in nothingness."

Bless the generous
Bismillah.

May Allah bless all those who are generous!

One philantrophist from Europe had offered piles of wonderful books for distribution in this land. One of
them is From the Garden of the Mathnawi, Tears of the Heart. I was speechless with joy when a sister
handed them to me. MashaAllah, thank you!

May I quote one saying of Mawlana Rumi which surely refers to people whose hearts are as fertile as
theirs:

"Does a stone blossom even in the spring time?

Be as the soil
so that roses and other flowers
emerge from you
in many colors."

Indeed to please the Almighty means pleasing people. And I am very pleased to have this book in my
hand.

May Allah bless all those who are generous!

"Thus, the poor are the mirror of divine mercy and generosity.
Those who are with Allah or lost in the existence of Allah
are in a state of continuous generosity."
- Rumi, quddisa sirruh, quoted from 'Tears of the Heart'.

On witnessing
Bismillah.

This is a partial transcript of a lesson by one mu'aleem in Malaysia. I am not going to mention his
name or else his 'ardent' students might question me for sharing this. I am doing this for the sake of
friends who due to distance and circumstances could not attend the majlis ta'lim and for friends who did
attend but needed a summary to aid their understanding. Bismillah.

He said:

You must have a guru whom you love. You must know him well and recite al-Fatihah for him. As far as
'ilm ruhaniah (knowledge of the spirit) is concerned, you need a guru, you cannot work at it on your
own.

Tasawwuf haqiqat (the reality of sufism) by description is to look at something with the physical eyes. By
definition it means seeing and understanding Allah in your heart - his name (asma), attributes (sifat)
and essence (zat).

Shuhud wahdatul af'al means that you understand that He is the only doer of all actions e.g. sickness,
happiness etc. You must learn this first before you progress to shuhud wahdatul sifat and shuhud
wahdatul zat. You must keep witnessing Allah with sir/asrar, with the eye of your heart (fu'ad). This is an
honorable state of a sufi. If your heart has not experienced this state of witnessing, it shows that you
have not yet 'arrived'. Your heart should be in a constant state of witnessing. Then Allah will carry you
on to a higher plane. If you attained shuhud you will achieve true freedom. You will not be a servant to
any other than Allah. This brings you to fana (annihilation). Nothing remains in your heart save Allah. No
makhluk (being) resides in your heart. Hence, you return to alam lahut where you made the
pledge when asked Alas tu birabbikum? (Am I not your Lord), when you promised to obey Him and not
your brain or desires. You would then understand His right over you and your right over Him. When you
understand His rights, you will truly appreciate His bounties on you, your food etc. Every little nikmat
(blessings) you get is from Him. You will be grateful and honor His blessings. When you eat, you would
eat to the last bit and when you drink, you drink to the last drop. Honoring His bounties means honoring
Him. Never glorify makhluk (people), but always recognize and acknowledge everything as His actions.
But keep it in your heart, never profess it with your tongue. You should speak just like everybody else
but in your heart you know that all is His actions. Do not reveal the secret. For example: when you see
people getting divorced, you should know in your heart that it is all His doings. Do not question why.
Always say La hawla wala quwata illah billah or Inna lillahi wa inna ilai hi rajiun.

One who has attained mushahadah will not dare act or presume things ahead of time, ahead of His
takdir (decree). Until and unless Allah reveals His secrets or plans, one should not forecast or try to
foretell His actions. That is why you are not allowed to be a fortune teller. Only then your tawhid
becomes pure.

If you truly have accomplished witnessing, you will not go after wordly attractions. You will only be
obsessed with Allah because you fully understand that everything that you have is on account of Divine
Intelligence. The sweetness of sugarcane comes not from itself but from Him. You see His attributes al-
Bari', al-Musawwir - His Essence at play. He decides on your looks from azali. Your parents could not
determine your appearance. And you cannot change your looks. All that you have will be returned to
Him so prove yourself with obedience. Improve your obedience. Go back to worshipping Him. Return to
Him. Repent!
He decides our qadar - our provisions, our characters, our status. We did not achieve all these with our
own effort, neither did we inherit it nor did we achieve it with our own intelligence. Never feel
inferior with your appearance or poverty. Never feel small when you are with those who are more
attractive or richer than you.

You must be a salik so that you would be freed of akwan and aghyar; so that you would truly glorify
your Lord and be sincere towards Him. When you give sadaqah (gift) to your neighbor, you are actually
giving Him. Any good deeds you do, you do it for Him. So you do things lillahi taala with utmost
sincerity.

Witness His acts so you glorify Him and not people. When you perform ibadah (worship) you would do it
for His sake and not to show off to people. Surrender yourself to Him completely. That is what taslim is
all about - surrender your affairs to Him. Let not your affairs be tainted by makhluk, nafs or even your
intelligence (akal). As taught by a certain Habib Muhammad, your actions must be based on:

1. Bismillah Rabbi Allah

2. Bismillah hasbi Allah

3. Bismillah tawakaltu allAllah

4. Bismillahi iqtasamtu billah

5. Bismillahi fawadtu amri illAllah

6. Bismillah il tajatu illAllah

7. La hawla wala quwwata illah billah

Be an ahlillah (people of the Lord) who is 'crazy' (intoxicated) about his Lord, not one who is crazy about
asbab such as gourmet food, yacht and all the things that the wordly people are crazy about.

Shabi Arus - a wedding celebration of another kind

Bismillah.

Inna lilllahi wa inna ilai hi ra ji'un!

Today, a dear family friend (my mother's best friend, our neighbor) has gone to a better place. As I
was driving 360km alone, I thought of how beautiful friendship can be. My mother yet again showed me
what love is all about. Today I witnessed how moved she was when Latifah left her. It was a sad parting
for all who knew and loved Latifah but she looked happy because it is in fact her Shabi Arus,
her Wedding Night. She looked so pretty and gay to leave her sorrows behind, to be freed from the
cage. I could sense it when I planted a goodbye kiss on her forehead. May Allah unite her with all the
blessed souls in the highest Heavens. Ameen.

I am reminded of Shabi Arus, a term I had learned from reading Mawlana Rumi a while back. How Rumi
had warned people not be sad about his passing from this physical realm. That death is in fact a
celebration! O Mawlana, I marvel at how open and generous you had been in your teaching and sharing.
Imagine if you were to keep all that avalanche of love and beautiful mysticism all to yourself?

O father Rumi, you were so right in your lament:

O my Lord, if your mercy is reserved only for those with pure hearts, then where will the sinful find
refuge?
O Almighty Allah! If you accept only the pious people, then to whom will the guilty turn in prayer?
Surely, you are the Most Compassionate!

O Mawlana, how heart broken you would be if you knew the sickness of this age; that some of the
'pious' and 'learned' people dislike other people to be pious and learned too. How they maintain that
certain teachings are exclusive, that their tariqa is more exclusive than others so that people should
not know about their 'exclusive practises'!

Oh...where will the sinful find refuge? Where will the guilty turn in prayer? And how will the ignorant
learn if some 'pious' and 'learned' people keep the awliya all to themselves?

Perhaps they don't want the heavens to get too crowded? But havent't they heard about Bayazid
Bastami? How Bayazid had prayed so that Allah would make his body so vast that it would fill the entire
Hellfire, thereby leaving no place for other sinners?

Oh shame on you who are selfish, so self centered, thinking you are holier than others! May Allah
forgive all our sins. Conclusive argument remains with Him.

A gift from heaven
Bismillah.

O son, I see not a blessing coming from elsewhere except Him. May you learn these wirid and practise
regularly. Know that I love you, so I love to share whatever little knowledge I pick up along the way. I
don't care if other people wants to eavesdrop or peep in this space I have created for you O son. All that
is good is from Allah.

May Allah increase us in knowledge and give us the strength to be istiqamah in our zikr. We are
nothing. So we count on the blessings from all the awliya whom we love. May Allah make us love all
those whom He loves, always and forever.
1. Zikr

La ila ha ilAllah

(700x or 1300x within 24 hours)

2. Salawat

Allahumma salli wa sallim ala Sayidina Muhammad

miftahiba bi rahmatillah

solatan wa salaman

ad da imai ni

bi dawami mulkillah

ada dama min 'ilmillah

(11x or 111x times morning & evening)

3. Istighfar

Astaghfirullahal azim

allazi la ila ha illa huwal hayyul qayyum wa atu bu ilaih

min kulli zanbim azim

wa min jami 'in

al mu'assi wal qotoya

sirran wa jahran

zahiran wa bathinan

qaulan wa fiq lan

sam'an wa basiran

tawbatan nasuha

(11x or 70x or 100x morning and evening)

Note:
As mentioned in the earlier posting: three things could replace a guru murabbi - zikr, salawat and
istighfar. So if you cannot find a guru murabbi to guide you, be sure to make zikr, salawat and istighfar.

A salik vs a murid
Bismillah.

Shaykh Abdul Aziz (Baba Aziz) during his lecture series at KL Ba'alawi last weekend continued speaking
on the subject of tasawwuf based on Kitab Qatrul Ghaisiah ('Raindrop of Sufi Knowledge).

Baba Aziz recapitulated the 7 aqabahs or mountains that a salik (seeker) must conquer in the quest
towards his goal - aqabah tawbah, aqabah awa'id, aqabah awarid, aqabah bawa'ith, aqabah bawadih
and aqabah al-hamd wa-shukr. These aqabahs are like great mountains to be conquered only with huge
efforts. A salik is one who is focused in his journey towards Allah. He leaves all ugly behaviors in
preference for good morals. He is one who receives guidance from a guru who is murabbi. As a salik he
would begin his studies mastering tasawwuf ibadah from classic kitab such as Minhajul Abidin. He is
wary of pitfalls on the path caused by illnesses of the heart such as riak (pride) and ujub (self
glorification). His knowledge would increase as would his gnosis (makrifah). He will attain the true
degree of sincerity (ikhlas) and his worship would become pure. He will be blessed with 'ilm ladunni, the
highest kind of knowledge direct from His Presence because his heart is pure. He harbors hope soley in
His Lord. He fears none except Allah. He longs and love only Allah.

Wat taqullah wa yu'al limukumullah means one must first have iman (faith) before taqwa (God-fearing).
Without taqwa one will not be granted ilm asrar or the secret knowledge. Always keep your wudhu'
(ablution) and recite salawat continuously especially salawat 'azamiyah. This particular salawat carries a
lot of weight as it would take you to the presence of Rasulullah s.a.w. So do not be careless about how
you spend your time. Prove your taqwa. Prove yourself with a credible faith. By having a pure faith,
taqwa, and sincerity, Allah will grant you makrifah (gnosis).

It is important that you avoid having negative impression about your Lord. Just because He contricts
your provision or give you illness, you start having ill feelings about your fate. If indeed you have
makrifah you will not be restless, you will be calm and say Alhamdulillah regardless of your conditions. If
you but know, He will in fact raise your maqam after each and every tests. If you behave in a positive
manner based on your understanding of this branch of knowledge He will grant you more knowledge
that is beyond your imagination.
I think most of you are still murid, not salik. I say that because you cannot even find the time to make
zikr Allah. You are suffering from sickness typical of a murid. You gather knowledge but you do not
practise what you know. You must understand that husnul Islam, the best of Islam is one who leaves all
that are worthless or unbeneficial to him. So go back to Allah. Become a salik. Be sure to get tarbiyyah
(guidance) from a guru who is himself a jazbah and a salik. You must practise what you know because
that is a pre-requisite for you to attain real makrifah.

He says: wa'alam nahu min ladun na ilma - "We teach him (he who practises what he knows) with one
'ilm (knowledge)", and that is called ilm' hal. You will know this when you reach this maqam. If you truly
love Allah, you will appreciate your time. You will not want to waste it. You will occupy yourself
worshipping Him. If you want to know what karamah is, look at the degree of your servitude. Check
yourself, see how obedient you are. Do you always keep your wudhu'? Do you make an effort to tie that
"black sheep" - your tongue? You can do that by holding a tasbeeh so that you would automatically
remember to make zikr.

It is not good enough to be a murid. You must be a salik. The Sufis make 13,000 zikr Allah per day. The
fuqaha (the ordinary person) should at least make 3,000 zikr. Learn the famous ratib such as al-Idrus, al-
Attas and al-Haddad and recite them regularly. It is a waste of time to just be a murid. Please by all
means become a salik. Remove all traces of mazmumah (bad qualities) from yourself and replace them
with sifat mahmudah (good attributes). Allah is the ultimate guide who could bring us to goodness.

But go find a guru tarbiyyah who could prescribe you with what zikr, what salawat and what istighfar to
do. When you find one and do as told, you will attain nafs radhiah. You are now at mutmainnah or
mulhimmah where you get inspired to do good and regret your wrong doings. You must strive above
this level. There are three practises you could do if you cannot find guru murabbi. You could do istighfar,
salawat and zikr La ila ha illAllah 1300 times a day. Do this morning and night until they become more
tasty than the best food that you have eaten in this world. Make them your preferred food. Clean, purify
your heart so that nothing is there, save Allah.

Wallahu a'lam.

A point of view
Bismillah.

O son, a week break from Lisan al-Din had given me time to listen and reflect.

So I listened to caring people who cautioned me about the presence of some un-friendly Sufi monitors.
No I am not a Sufi and they are not monitoring me. I just happen to love the Sufis and unfortunately that
might be a problem to some people who don't. I therefore, adjusted my sail since I could not control the
wind; made a few changes here and there but you should not mind because Lisan al-Din after all is for
my sons. And on Lisan al-Din love rules!

I also listened to requests from like-minded friends who asked me to keep sharing (not teaching)
especially one particular blessing that I have been given in the last weekend. Alhamdulillah wa
shukrulillah. What happened was, one wali loves one mu'aleem so he taught him some wirids because
he wanted him purified and be good. That mu'aleem in turn love a bunch of us so he taught us the wirids
so we too would be purified and be good. So what I will do is put that love and sharing on record here
later and ignore any clouded minds out there.

Yes of course you could learn durood/salawat, istighfar and zikr from anywhere and anyone. But
some prescribed wirids have got to be more precious than others as we got to learn them from extra-
ordinary people whom we love and who love us. May Allah continue to raise our gurus' maqam, give
them a long healthy life so we could benefit from their presence and barakah for the longest time. And
may Allah continue to make our hearts an abode for awliya, Rasulullah s.a.w and Allah s.w.t.

And the disclaimer for Lisan al-Din remains

La hawla wala quwwata illah billah hil 'Aliyil 'Azim
There is no power and no strength save with Allah the High the Great.
Yours sincerely,
E. Ismail

Lisan al-Din in seclusion 16 - 22 March 2010
Bismillah.

Please be informed that Lisan al-Din publisher is in seclusion for a week beginning from today 16th
March to 22nd March 2010. She wishes to thank all the regular visitors for their support and
encouragement.
Like a hypocrite, you offer your excuses -

"I am so busy providing for wife and children,

I don't have time to scratch my head.

How could I have time to practice religion?"

"I cannot escape from feeding my family,

I must seek lawful earnings tooth and nail."

You have an escape from God - but not from food.

You have an escape from religion - but not from idols.

- Rumi in Mathnawi

You are a hypocrite!

Bismillah.

O son, I think I have been a hypocrite. And I think I cannot be wrong because this morning as I flipped
open Jila' al Khatir (Purification of the Mind) seeking for some counsel from Ghawth al-Azam, Shaykh
Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, I saw this paragraph shouting at me.

Have you not known that the hypocrite "is in the lowest depth of the Fire"?! (Qur'an 4: 145)

Surrender and then repent. Do something before death surprises you, before you are overtaken
suddenly and end up in regret when regret is of no good at all. I know you but I cannot point to you. We
are commanded in the Law to leave you and others unexposed. But I speak out, though,
without mentioning names. I refer to you indirectly, without pointing to you explicitly. As the saying
goes: "My words are in fact aimed at you, so listen to what I am going to say to my neighbor." The slave
may need to be beaten with a stick but a nod should be enough for a free man. The True one (Ta'ala)
looks at the private and public lives of the creatures and also at their hearts. He does not accept from
them other than that which they offer to Him and do for the sake of His countenance. Do not put a show
of artificial behavior, do not cheat and do not try to conceal your faults for "He knows the secret and
that which is yet more hidden." (Qur'an 20:7)

"He knows the deception of the eyes and that which the chests conceal." (Qur'an 40:19)

So with that I shall take a break from posting entries on Lisan al-Din for ONE week or until I could write
to you with a clear conscience and with better sincerity. InshaAllah. La ila ha illa anta subhanaka inni
kuntu minaz zalimin. May Allah continue to guide us, keep us on the Straight Path and grant us husnul
khatimah. Ameen. Madad Ya Sayyidi, Madad Ya Rasulullah!

Accuse your own soul!
Bismillah.

Know that although obedience is the path to God and the means of approach to
His Holy Presence, it may induce in those who are liable to distraction many things which are reckoned
among the major sins, such as ostentation, self-admiration, arrogance, the feeling that one has obliged
God, forgetfulness of His grace in granting (acts of disobedience), and so forth. These may result in the
deprivation of the obedient man's reward, and may even lead to painful punishment. The believer who
is intent on following the path of seriousness and is concerned to attain salvation should always accuse
his own soul (nafs) and refuse to give it the benefit of the doubt; he will ask forgiveness even for his acts
of obedience, even if no contravention has outwardly occured, fearful that his soul may have led him
into one of these hazardous faults. You now know why one should seek forgiveness even for acts of
obedience.

Something even more subtle than this may befall the people of gnosis under some circumstances: they
may notice that they have come to find comfort in their virtuous acts (rather than in God), or to rely on
them (rather than on God); and they then turn back to Him in repentance, asking for forgiveness, The
same things may again befall them while they pass through the noble stations and states with which
they are invested; and they have then to repent and ask forgiveness for them.

For the people of God who divest themselves of all attachment to the worlds, sin is to attend to other
than God, whatever this 'other' may be. We see them fleeing fearfully to God and seeking refuge in Him
from states which, if experienced by others would have been considered great acts of devotion, such as
for instance, setting one's hopes in one's acts of disobedience and having thoughts of fear (of God) or of
renunciation. It is in this context that you should understand the saying: "The good deeds of the
righteous are the evil deeds of those who are brought nigh to God." (the muqarabeen).
Were it not that the Path is fading away and the lights of realization are setting, we would have said
some astonishing things on this subject. So take heed people of intelligence!

Shaykh Sihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi, may God have mercy on him has said:

"There are certain factors which impair spiritual stations, for these latter may be infiltrated by
extraneous elements, and the gnostic may fail to perceive this while still in them, and only become
aware of this upon rising from one station to a higher one, at which, experiencing an imperfection, he
looks back at the former with better insight and returns to it in order to repair the defect and render it
sound. This can only be done through repentance and asking for forgiveness."

This is a summary of what the gnostics have taught, with some explanantions and clarifications. Some
have interpreted the saying of the Prophet s.a.w:

"My heart becomes covered, so that I ask God for forgiveness 70 times a day," along the lines suggested
by Suhrawardi, but in fact it is far from bearing any relation to whatever to the Muhammadan rank
which embraces all perfection of form and character. I have another interpretation for it, which I can
only divulge verbally to those worthy to receive it. And God knows best.

- Imam al-Haddad

O son, I think I understand a little better now what Ustaz Shamsul has been saying and repeating that
"The good deeds of the righteous (the saliheen) are the evil deeds of those who are brought nigh to God
(the muqarabeen)." So never be satisfied with what you think you have achieved. Verily it is not our
'achievement' even. Instead, be harsh on your own soul. May Allah make us worthy of receiving gnosis
of the finest kind and may our outward obedience reflect that of our inward state. Ameen Allahumma
Ameen.

Give and be a rasheed - Mawlana Shaykh Nazim

Bismillah.

Sultan al-Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani began his sohbet standing and glorifying the Lord:
Ya Kareem, Ya Sultan, madad, La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah, La ilaaha illa-Llah Muhammadun
Rasoolullah `alayhi salaatullah.

O Attendees, Assalaamu`alaykum! Give a little bit of care when you are looking and asking to hear
something. Give a little bit more care, cut yourself from everything that belongs to this world and come
empty. If anyone comes empty, they may fill it with heavenly powers. If you are coming full, what may
they give to you? Because we are now in contact with heavenly beings and we are asking for heavenly
support for all of us, not only the handful of people here. We, all of us, are in need and we are asking
that heavenly support to give much, much, more power in growing heavenly power for ourselves.

This association is granting the attendees heavenly support, giving much more power and making them
to become closer to heavenly stations, yes. And as much as you are giving care, you are taking much
more. If you are occupying yourself with something around yourself or through your life, you are going
to be supported as you are asking. If you are giving whole care for yourself, you will be given a full
support. If you occupy yourself with something else, you may take half the support or you may take a
tenth of the support. If you are never interested, you will take nothing. Therefore, as much as you are
giving your care and attention, you are taking more!

If you are in a place where there is a heap of gold and silver and the holder is saying, “Take as much as
you like. It is for you and it is free! If you can carry a heap of gold, get another,” still Allah Almighty is
giving endlessly wa ladayna mazeed, “And We have more to come.”

O People! Give more and take more! Give one and take ten. Give ten and take a hundred. Give a
hundred and take a thousand. Give a thousand and take one hundred thousand. Give one hundred
thousand and take one million. Give one million and look for ten million that comes to you! Why are you
being so hasees, bakheel, miserly? Why? Anfiq bi-laa laa, “Donate endlessly.” Do you think that when
you are giving, you lose your Lord's grant to you? No. Allah (swt) is giving for one, at least ten. Give ten,
get one hundred. Why are you not urging people to give?

O People! Give more and take double on double. Why? If you are believers, why are you saving through
banks and treasuries, why? And there are people in need; why are you not giving? Give! Are you not
trusting what Allah Almighty is saying to you? He is giving ten times more! I am shouting to kings, to
presidents, to the rich ones, saying: Don't save your money through banks' treasures. Don't occupy
yourself with something else!

Why are you not urging the rich ones? So many hundreds, thousands of rich ones in Saudi Arabia, in the
Arab Peninsula, in Kuwait, Qatar, Dubai and where everyone has billions through banks! Why?! Give,
and believe in your Lord's declaration, or believe in what He is promising to you! He is saying, wa
ladayna mazeed, “And We have much more to come.” Mazeed is never coming down, there is never
going to be less treasures. Why are you saving, saving, saving millions, ten millions? Millions of people
can’t find something to eat, but you are eating lamb and delicious food. Why are you not sending? Send!

We must say A`oodhu billahi min ash-Shaytaani 'r-rajeem. Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. The biggest
treasure is for us to say Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Take Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem from
your saved money and give, Bismillahi 'r-Rahmaani 'r-Raheem. Don't say your treasures will diminish.
"Yes, it may be less here, but it will grow up through akhirah, through the heavens. Why are you not
saying?"

These associations could make hearts hayyin layyin, soft and tender. Encourage them to give, give! Don't
worry, don’t worry. Don’t say, “Our provision is going to be less.” No! Man zaada lillah zaadahullah,
“Whoever donates in Allah's way, will be rewarded more by Him.” Who is giving for Allah more and
more, the grant from Allah will get more and more and more for you.

When you are lying in the coffin, finished! They will take your ring, your ear rings, your very, very
expensive watch, taking it from your hand. Taking everything from you! They are not saying, “He was a
king, we may leave this on him.” No, they are taking everything and you are going naked, with your body
covered with ten yards of cloth.
O People! Before Judgment Day comes, you have a chance to give for Allah, give, give, give, as it is
coming through heavenly knowledge, this you must say, Salafi `ulamas, to all Wahhabi people who have
treasures, to write in golden letters in front of their sitting place:

‫ا الإق ل ال عرش ذي من ت خاف و ال ب ال ال أن فق‬

anfiq bilaal wa laa takhaaf man dha 'l-`arshi iqlaalan

Give without (saying) 'no' and do not fear from the Possessor of the Throne to be in loss.

That must be written! Don't say to me, “That is not fard, obligatory.” Now it is obligatory and you must
give, you must give. You can’t save billions or trillions, you must give. It is haraam (to store wealth). Why
are you not saying that storing wealth is bida`, against Shari`atullah?

Don’t say, “We are giving every year our zakaat.” What? Thirty-nine for yourself and one for Allah?
Aren’t you ashamed to give thirty-nine for yourself and one for Allah? What is their mentality? Make it
the opposite! Give for yourself one, for Allah thirty-nine. Wa laa takhaf man dha 'l-`arshi iqlaalan (do
not fear from the Possessor of the Throne to be in loss). That is holy shari`ah.

‘Abd (means) servant, and everything that he has, belongs to Him, and everything that he is carrying
is for his owner or for his master. Why are you not saying this? Salafi `ulamas, you don’t know this? That
judgment you know or you do not know? Say to people, “Give thirty-nine for Allah and one for you.”

What are you going to say, that it is bida`? Shari’ah is the real adab of the servant for his Sultan. Allah
Almighty is granting to you, so give, and give and give because if you are giving Allah Almighty is not
making it less. Wa ladayna al-mazeed. Allah Almighty is saying on behalf of Himself: “Don't fear that
when giving, you will get less of My treasures. No! I am the Lord of Heavens! I am the Lord of the Whole
Creation! I am that One that is giving what they are in need of and My treasures are never getting less!”
Not even the size of an atom, what you give is not getting less. Because if it is getting less even one
atom, then it is going to be finished. But what is in Allah Almighty's treasures is never-ending, never
finishing. That is the reason why He is saying:

‫ول نا‬ ‫م‬

Wa ladayna al-mazeed

There will be more and more in Our Divine Presence (Qur'an 50:35)

“I will give you more and more in My Divine Presence.” Allah (swt) will reward you more as a result of
your donation in His sake.” Why are you not giving that ayat? When servants have been granted from
Endless Treasures through heavens, through Paradise, they are asking, hal min mazeed, “No more after
this, O our Lord?” and the Lord of Heavens is saying, “Never-ending treasures, are for Me. No one
knows, I am only knowing, I am the Lord of Everything. I am the Creator, and I have Endless Oceans from
everything that is never-ending.” Hah!

‫ن ما و‬ ‫باق‬

Fa maa `inda Allahi baaq

What Allah owns and rewards you with is Everlasting. (Qur'an 16:96)

What Allah Almighty has is forever, from pre-eternal up to eternal, never-ending.

What it is empowered in this life is not going to be acted in akhirah, but in the Eternal Life. This is a
temporary life; it may be a million years or a billion years, it may be more and more billions of years old.
For all of them, a limit is written, but for Allah, al-mazeed is endless. You know nothing; you know
according to your ability, your capacity to understand.

O People! Give to Allah, keep for yourself a little bit. But say, “O my Lord, everything You granted to me
from Your grants, I owe it to You. Who am I to say that I am giving?” Allah Almighty is saying, Haadha
a'taa'una, “This is My grant to you.” What you have is from My grant to you. O People! My grant is
never-ending, never-ending. SubhaanAllah, SubhaanAllah, SubhaanAllah, SubhaanAllah, SubhaanAllah,
SubhaanAllah.

The worst characteristic of our egos is to be greedy, greedy, greedy. For what are you going to be
greedy? Your Creator is saying, Is'al tu'ataa, “Ask as much as you can ask, and I will give to you.” Allahu
akbar! Allahu akbar! One who is rasheed (rightly guided) is never greedy. Ar-Rushd (maturity/ripening) is
the highest level of our good characteristics. Rasheed is he who understands something about what
Allah Almighty is saying.

‫با ي ل وإذا‬ ‫ن‬ ‫ن‬ ‫قر‬ ‫وأ‬ ‫ان إذا ال ا‬ ‫ت بوا‬ ‫ب ول منوا ل‬ ‫ر ون لع‬

Wa idhaa sa'alaka `ibaadee `annee fa innee qareebun ujeebu da`wati 'd-daa`ee idhaa da`aani fa 'l-
yastajeeboo lee w 'al-yu'minoo bee la`llahum yarshudoona

And when My servants ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them), I am indeed near
(to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the du`a of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them
obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright. (Qur'an al 'l-Baqarah 2:186)
You are Arabs, you know this ayah, “O My servants, if you are asking something from Me, I am asking
also; you must run to what I am ordering you, to make it.” Imaan is to believe in Allah Almighty and our
beliefs are at the lowest level, lowest level, and to become raashidoon, Allah Almighty is asking His
servants to reach the level of rasheed, as the Holy Qur'an is declaring:

‫أل‬ ‫من‬ ‫ر ل‬ ‫ر‬

Alaysa minkum rajulun rasheed

"Is there not among you a single right-minded man?" (Qur'an 11:78)

Rasheed is the highest level that a person can reach: ar-rushd. We are such useless ones! I am asking
Allah Almighty that at least we may reach on the level of rushd, who is on the level to be 100% kamaal,
perfect from every jawaanib (sides) in all his behavior - perfection.

Alaysa feekum rajulun rasheed? “Isn't there a man among you who understands?” A rasheed
understands such a thing. I am asking to Salafi `ulamas, Allah Almighty is asking to people, in Holy Qur'an
also, alaysa feekum rajulun rasheed? That one who asked was a believer, haneef, real belief. But he was
hiding and saying, “O People! Alaysa feekum rajulun rasheed?” No one in his mind can understand about
what the Lord of Heavens is sending.

Maqaam ur-Rushd (Station of Maturity) is the highest level servants can reach. Rushd, what does it
mean? You must know. If not look in qaamoos (dictionary). If you could not find it, look in tafseer,
commentaries of Holy Quran. Don’t say, “This is shirk” and don’t say, “This is kaafir.” No. Alladhee
yafhamu 'l-katheer? “Isn't there a person who understands me well?” Hundreds of thousands of ones
are bringing from the Holy Qur'an and its endless treasures, lu'lu, pearls and diamonds. Why are you
saying this is not a real diamond, it is only plastic? Don't say that!

If you are saying, Qul haatoo burhaanakum, “Bring your proofs,” that is making my heart to be in
satisfaction. If not, you should be responsible in the Divine Presence, and the Divine Presence is never
accepting you, sending you to angels.

O People! Come and hear, come and listen to the endless oceans through the Holy Qur'an. It is always
giving people a refreshment and giving a young power to them for understanding and to be in pleasure
and to be pleased with such a hidden treasure from the Holy Qur'an.
May Allah (swt) forgive me and forgive all listeners and Salafi `ulamas also, and give us hidden treasure
of the holy verses, endless hidden treasures through holy verses.

O People! Take your adab with the Holy Qur'an and take your adab with such people who are bringing
such strange meanings full with such a power and lights to take away from your faces darkness and give
to you heavenly lights!

O my Lord, forgive me, and forgive Salafi `ulamas, Ya Rasulullah!

(Mawlana Shaykh stands and sits then sing:)

Dome, dome, dome, dome

Dome, dome, dome, dome

Dome, dome, dome, dome

Dome, dome, dome, dome

(Mawlana sings in Turkish:)

Yaa Muhammad, canim arzular seni

Dost Muhammad, canim pek sever seni

Padışah konmaz saraya hane mamur olmadan

kenz açılmaz şol gönülden ta ki pür nur olmyınca

Yaa Muhammad, my soul is yearning for you

Yaa Muhammad, you are my true love

A king is not put in a palace before it is adorned

A heart's treasure is unlocked only when that heart is purified

Huu, huu, huuu, huuu, huuuuuuuuuuu...

Fatihah.
As-salaamu `alaykum. This is Allah's grant for tonight, subhaanAllah, subhaanAllah, subhaanAllah, Oh,
Yaa Rabbee!

Know when to speak
Bismillah.

Abu Abdullah Ahmad bin Asim al-Antaki says:

"The most harmful time for speech
is when silence would be better for you

and the most harmful time for silence

is when speech would be more fitting for you

and more necessary."

O son, do not be one who is talkative. You must know when to speak and when not to speak. A sign of
one who has intelligence is that he knows the sign of intelligence is not in always having something to
say.

Frankly, I was feeling somewhat 'numb' like I do not have an opinion or preference on what to say to
you today. Then I was reminded by Shaykh Hisham's sohbet on one the four things Sayiddina Ali
karamallahu wajhah had practised. He said, one should be silent and observe the surroundings before
one make one's move. I think that is common sense and yet most people like I get clumsy and jumpy.

The Sufis on the other hand, observe the present moment attentively and only act upon getting an ilham
or inspiration to say or do anything. They are truly the son of the moment and fulfill the rights of the
moment as per the Divine order. That much I observe from our gurus, so let us all take heed. May Allah
grant us tawfik to follow in the footsteps of His pious and gnostic servants. Ameen.

Jumaah Mubarrak!

Salam warahmatullah.

The rhythm of the Naqshbandi
Bismillah.

"When (by means of music) the various limbs of the body become properly collected, hatred and
aversion is removed and concordance (hukm al-tawafuq) appears." - says Ahmad Tusi in Bawariq.

O son,
Limbs sway nimble as hearts and souls danced to the tunes of qasidah and hadrah for nights on end.
That's what the Naqshbandis of this land have been up to since 10 Rabi'ul Awal. The Tariqa's Mawlid
series of celebration is graced by the presence of Shaykh Adnan Kabbani and wife Hajjah Halima. (pic below)

So how do we explain the effects melodies could have on one's soul?

"What causes mystical states to appear in the heart when listening to music (Sama') is a divine mystery
(sirr Allah) found within the concordant relationship of measured tones (of music) to the (human) spirits
and in the spirit's becoming overwhelmed by the strains of these melodies and stirred by them..." - says
Imam al-Ghazali.
Yes, stirred, we all Naqshbandis have been for many glorious nights - all for the love of Rasulullah s.a.w.
Overwhelmed by feelings for him that one's own self dissipates in the praise for the Beloved of Allah and
unite as one voice of adoration - prince and paupers alike.

To quote Ahmad Tusi again:

"When many melodic arrangements and spiritual harmonies

- that is to say music -

are evoked within someone,

his nature comes to prefer them

over all else."

And the preference over all else is that of attuning to the spiritual harmony of none other than
Muhammad al Mustafa!

Allahumma salli wasallim wabarik alaih wa ala alaih.

Conclusive argument remains with God - Shaykh Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi
Bismillah.
A spiritual intuition will reveal that that which was necessary to affirm His Divinity is none other than the
Reality Himself, and that the Cosmos (of created beings) is nothing more than His Self-Revelation (to
Himself) in the forms (determined) by their eternally unmanifest essences, which could not possibly
exist without Him. It will reveal also that He manifest Himself variously and formally according to the
(inherent) realities and states of the essences all of which is understood together with the knowledge
that, in relation to us, He is the Divinity.

A further spiritual intuition will show you our forms manifest in Him, so that some of us are manifest to
others in the Reality, know each other, and distinguish each other in Him. There are those of us who
have spiritual knowledge of this mutual recognition in the Reality, while others have not experienced
the plane on which this occurs. I seek refuge in God lest I be of the ignorant.

As a result of the last two intuitions it is known that we are determined only through ourselves through
ourselves (as essences); indeed, it is we who determine ourselves through ourselves, which is the
meaning of the words God's is the conclusive argument, (Quran VI:149), that is, against the veiled ones when
they ask the Reality why He has done with them things contrary to their own aims. And He made their
affair difficult for them. (Quran LXVII:42), and this is the truth revealed to the gnostics. For they see that it is
not the Reality that has done with them what is claimed, and they see that what was done with them
came from themselves, for His knowledge of them is according to what they are themselves (in their
eternal essences). Thus their complained is nullified, the conclusive argument remaining with God.
We are His as has been shown,
As also we belong to ourselves.
He has no other becoming except mine,
We are His and we are through ourselves.
I have two aspects, He and I,
but He is not I in my I.
In me is His theater of manifestation,
And we are for Him as vessels.

In each other, all along

Bismillah.

To the one dwelling in my heart

makes the chambers burst

into quiet laughter

your understated humor

 tickles a lover's veins

so joy streams all over

love which is in silence

can never be wrong

for all that is unseen and unspoken

is from the One, the Strong

Rumi is so right

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere,

they're in each other

all along...

Proof of tawba (repentance)

Bismillah.

Habib Najib bin Toha as-Seggaf, at the closing of the 8th Mawlid Kubro celebration hosted by Al-
Jenderami Foundation in Dengkil, Malaysia, reminded the audience on the importance of keeping one's
tawba. He said, "you should be grateful that Allah has invited you to this auspicious occasion,
celebrating the mawlid as proof of your love for Rasulullah s.a.w. You may have come to such an event
many times, so with such great blessings that you have been given, there must be evidence of your
attachment to Allah and Rasulullah s.a.w. If you truly love Allah and Rasulullah s.a.w you would not go
back to your old poor habits, you would progress and become a better person. You will not engage in
deeds that would incur the wrath of Allah. You will not commit anything that would displease Rasulullah
s.a.w. There must be some kind of proof of your tawba, of you turning from the old you, to the new you.
So keep your repentance and be grateful for Allah's blessings."

O son, what else could I add to this strong message from such venerable 'aleem and 'areef like Habib
Najib, other than quote the sayings of Imam al-Haddad who said:

"Remorse (nadam) is the turning of the heart, in sorrow and regret, away from something which the
servant has committed, and which angers God the Exalted, such as sins or the neglect of obligatory acts.
It may also occur following an excessive involvement in permissible pleasures or the neglect of
supererogatory devotions. A sincere remorse is one which leads to perservering in earnest, and avoiding
neglectfulness. When sound, it includes nearly all the conditions of repentance (tawba), which is why
the Prophet s.a.w has said: "Remorse is repentance." Those who are remorseful about their
misbehavior, but still persist in it, are only jesting, and their remorse will not avail them.

Seeking forgiveness (istighfar) means asking God to forgive, which in turn means His concealing the
misdeed (from the eyes of others). When God, by His grace, forgives a sin, he neither exposes its doer to
shame, nor punishes him for it, whether in this world or in the next. The highest kind of forgiveness is
for God to place a veil, a barrier, between the servant and sins, until it is as though he were free of
them. In the context of Prophethood this veil is termed as 'inerrancy' ('isma); and in that of sainthood,
'protection' (hifz). This is the meaning of God's saying, addressed to the Master of Inerrant s.a.w: 'Ask
forgiveness of your sin, and for believing men and women.' (Qur'an 47:19) And: 'That God may forgive you,
your former and subsequent sin.' (Qur'an 48:2) It is well known that the Prophet was not liable to sin. But He
here reminds him of His favouring him with His protection from everything that would distance him
from Him, and commands him to pray to Him in that manner; prayer in this context being the
consequence of thankfulness and thankfulness being the cause of further increase. 'If you are thankful, I
shall give you more.' (Qur'an 14:7) And God knows best."

O son, how many times have we failed to thank Him for covering up our sins? How many times have we
committed sins, repented and went back to doing them again?! How many times have we knowingly
revealed our misdeeds to people when Allah Himself has promised to veil our sins? By doing so, we have
shamed ourselves whereas God in His mercy commits to grant pardon and not shame us in this world
and in the hereafter! Allahu Allah!

Astaghfirullah al-Azeem

allazi la ilaha illa huwal hayyul qayyum

wa atu bu ilaih

min kulli zanbin 'azeem

zahiran wa bathinan

sirran wa jahran

tawbatan nasuha!

Shaykh Adnan Kabbani's plea to Sultan al-Ariffeen Shaykh Ismail

Bismillah.

Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah for having been invited to pay respect to Sultan al-Ariffeen Shaykh Ismail
at Pulau Besar - an island off-coast Melaka, Malaysia. Leading the ziyarah was Shaykh Adnan
Kabbani, one of the senior caliphs of Naqshbandi Tariqa.

It was my second visit, Alhamdulillah. It was more special this time as we got to go inside the maqam's
compound and face the front side of Sultan al-Ariffeen's grave. Shaykh Adnan Kabbani started his heart-
rending du'a saying that people who are veiled will never see and understand things that people who
are kashaf (un-veiled) could see and hear. So they would never understand the realities of life in the
unseen realm. Shaykh Adnan made a long plea saying we were not there to make request for dunya
matters; we were not after material benefits; we were there to ask so that with his barakah we could
purify our hearts and change our bad manners to good manners and to present us in a pure state to
Rasulullah s.a.w. What we were concerned about said Shaykh Adnan was that with the blessings from
the Prophet s.a.w, Allah s.w.t will look at us. There is nothing greater than to be looked upon by Allah
the Almighty and to be forgiven for all the sins that we have committed. All that we cared about was His
forgiveness. All other petitions regarding wordly matters are insignificant and worthless. Instead,
we pleaded for help in spiritually matters for our hearts to become a house for awliya, a dwelling place
of Rasulullah and an abode of Allah; that we are always in a constant state of remembrance. We
begged that with his barakah as the descendant of Rasulullah s.a.w we would be in the presence of
Rasulullah s.a.w. Ultimately, Shaykh Adnan prayed so that we could all be neighbors to the awliya, to
Prophet Muhammad s.a.w and Allah 'Azza wa Jalla. That is all that we aim for and nothing else matters.

Allahu 'Alam bis sawwab.

Al-Fatihah.

"Follow Prophet's Four Traits" - Habib Najib bin Toha

Bismillah.

Habib Najib bin Toha of Solo, Indonesia (pic) was the last to give a tausiyah (lecture) at Al-Jenderami's
Annual Mawlid Grand Celebration last night. Before him was Shaykh Mahmud of Madinah whose
countenance, nur and words pierced my heart and made me tearful that I could not put down in writing
the pearls of wisdom he was pouring. Oh such barakah and shafaat Shaykh Mahmud has brought from
holy land Madinah! I promise I will try to get a copy of his speech for you later InshaAllah.

Habib Najib bin Toha was no less eloquent and impressive. He had spoken on four traits of Prophet
Muhammad s.a.w that we should all try to emulate - a teaching attributed to Imam Junaid who had said:
"If you had these four traits of Rasulullah s.a.w Allah will raise you to the highest heaven though your
knowledge may be very little.

1. Al-Hilm (gentleness)

To have hilm means you know how to place something at its rightful place. It means being gentle to all
people in the right manner befitting the person and circumstances. When Prophet Ibrahim a.s. prayed to
Allah to give him a son who is saliheen (pious/devout) - Rabbi habli minas saliheen. O Lord grant me a
righteous son (As- Safaat 38:100), Allah answered his prayers saying, 'I will give you a son who is halim"
though he asked for a son who is salih. This is because the character of saliheen is already embedded in
halim. One who has halim knows how to appreciate other people. When he meets someone older, he
shows great respect and when he meets the youngsters, he treats them with love.

2. Tawadhuk (to have a humble heart)

He who wishes to emulate the Prophet's character of tawadhuk should not have pride in his heart. He
should never think that he is better or superior than others. He must be humble enough to help his wife.
The Prophet s.a.w was always helping his wives around their homes. He said, 'the best man among you
is the one who is best towards his lady.'

3. Husnul khulk (best behaviors)

It is quite all right if you had little knowledge but you must have good akhlak (behavior). Having a good
behavior means that you show a genuine appreciaton towards people and anyone. The Prophet s.a.w
treated his companions in the best manner so much so that each one felt that he was special to the
Prophet and that he was giving a special attention to them.

4. Generous

The last of four characters of the Prophet which we must follow is that of generosity. Generous enough
that we should not show that we love the world more than we love the One who owns the world. So
that we are always giving and keeping Him in our hearts and seeing all as His bounties, hence be
generous in sharing with other people.

O son, may we pay attention to these four traits of Rasulullah s.a.w and try inculcate them truthfully, all
for the love and respect for Rasulullah s.a.w the best of all of creations.

Sallu alan Nabi!

Sheikh Fahmi Zamzam on the virtues of Al-Waqi'ah
Bismillah.

O son,
This 56th verse of the Qur'an, despite its meaning - 'The (Inevitable) Event' (Al-Waqi'ah), is
overshadowed by it's 'enriching' virtue. It is common knowledge that reciting this verse on a regular
basis will enrich its reciter or at least protect him/her from poverty - God willing. And everybody is
known to have passed on this tip to everybody else. I have to admit that every now and then I do jump
on this 'Gold Rush' bandwagon. But as I have mentioned many times before, when you learn something
from a qualified guru with silsilah (authentic lineage), the effects of the lesson is extraordinary - it sticks
in your heart and you will have the tendency to be istiqamah (consistent) in practising what's been
taught bi-iznillah.

I wish to share what I have recently learned from Sheikh Fahmi Zamzam al-Banjari an-Nadwi al-
Maliki on the virtues and the prescribed practice for 'Al-Waqiah'. Apart from barakah from venerable
Shuyukh, the weight of this lesson, in my opinion, lies on the meanings of the du'a that should
accompany each recitation.

a. Recite Surah al-Waqi'ah daily, between Asar and Maghrib.

b. Upon reciting the verse, say this specially composed du'a, as prescribed in 'Provision for the Hereafter'
- a Malay book called Bekal Akhirat compiled by Sheikh Fahmi as instructed by his guru, the honorable
Sayyid Muhammad bin Alawi al-Hasani al-Maliki (1944-2004):

Allahumma sun wuju hana bil yasari

O Allah protect the dignity of our face because we are among those who are wealthy
wala tu hina bil ikhtaari
do not humiliate us on account of our poverty
fanas tar zikhu min tholibi rizkhika
from asking from people who they themselves ask provision from You
wanas taqtifu shiraa ra qolkhika
at times we have to submit our necks to your evil creations
wanash taqilu bihamdi man aqthonaa
and we might have to praise them unnecessarily
wa tub tala bizammi man mana 'ana
and when they do not provide us, we become angry
wa anta min wara-i zaalika kullihi ahlul 'atho-i wal man'ie
and You are the One who could give and withold our provision
Allahumma kama sunta wujuhana 'anis sujudi illa laka
O Allah protect our face from prostrating to your creations
fasunna 'anil hajati illa ilaika
to fulfill our wish, except You
bijudika wakaramika wa fadhlika ya arhamar rahimin
by Your generosity, by Your bounty, by Your compassion, by Your mercy
# Allahumma aqnina bihalalika 'an haramika wabitho'atika 'an maqsiyatika wabifadhlika 'amman
siwaka
O Allah enrich us with all that is halal and not haram, with obedience and not disobedience, by means of
Your bounty and not anyone else.
wasallah hu'ala Saidina Muhammad wa'ala alihi wasohbihi wasallam
walhamdulillah hirobbil 'alamin.

c. Recite du'a # for 70 times on any day.

d. For men: having completed your Friday prayers, before moving away, recite dua # for 5 times after
reciting 7 times of al-Fatihah, al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas. For ladies: do the same after zohor prayers
on Fridays.
e. Additionally, recite: Allahu Ya Ghani Ya Hamid, Ya Mubdi Ya Mu'id Ya Rahim Ya Wadud for 70 times.

O son,
The Prophet s.a.w had taught this du'a (#) to a sahabi assuring him that even if his debts were as high as
Mount Sabir in Mina, Allah would help him repay the debts. I have heard about the merit of this du'a
from someone else before, but having heard it from Sheikh Fahmi gave me a stronger conviction that
Rasulullah s.a.w would never ever say anything that is untrue and that with a strong certainty on the
words of the Prophet s.a.w. you will most definitely benefit from the du'a as well, bi-iznillah.

Note: The translation of the above al-Waqi'ah du'a is only an approximation. I'm hoping one of you readers to help fine
tune. Click here for Lisan al-Din related posting on teachings by Sheikh Fahmi Zamzam - Talqin Zikir.
