Introduction
Astral Projection (or astral travel), is a term used in esotericism to describe an intentional out-of-body experience (OBE) that assumes the existence of a subtle body called an “astral body” through which consciousness can function separately from the physical body and travel throughout the astral plane.
The idea of astral travel is ancient and occurs in multiple cultures. The modern terminology of “astral projection” was coined and promoted by 19th-century Theosophists. It is sometimes reported in association with dreams and forms of meditation. Some individuals have reported perceptions similar to descriptions of astral projection that were induced through various hallucinogenic and hypnotic means (including self-hypnosis). There is no scientific evidence that there is a consciousness whose embodied functions are separate from normal neural activity or that one can consciously leave the body and make observations of the physical universe.
Astral projection works via quantum entanglement, the Angels do it for man, he is not able to do it for himself, that is why only a few they choose experience it and subatomically time and space are not a barrier for subatomic particles!!!!
Astral projection is in the bible, in fact it is very common, every time a prophet or saint says I traveled via the spirit that is what they meant, in the book of daniel the angel render daniel unconscious on the side of a river before taking him on his journey, the companion of Jesus (saws) john said the same, and we experienced the same when Allah wanted to teach us;
“But Elisha asked him, “Don’t you realize that I was there in spirit when Naaman stepped down from his chariot to meet you?”” 2 Kings 5:26
“It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord God fell on me there. Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal. He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there.” Ezekiel 8:1-4
“After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne. 3 And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. 5 Out from the throne come flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6 and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatures full of eyes in front and behind.” Revelation 4:1-6
“In the twenty-fifth year of our exile, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was taken, on that same day the hand of the Lord was upon me and He brought me there. 2 In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain, and on it to the south there was a structure like a city. 3 So He brought me there; and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze, with a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand; and he was standing in the gateway. 4 The man said to me, “Son of man, see with your eyes, hear with your ears, and give attention to all that I am going to show you; for you have been brought here in order to show it to you. Declare to the house of Israel all that you see.” Ezekiel 40:1-4
“4 On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river, the Tigris…7 I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; those who were with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves. 8 So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision; I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless. 9 Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground. 10 A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 11 He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling” (Daniel 10).
“16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 “‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 20 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts2).
The Souls Travel Through Space
The Souls Of The Dead Are Able To Leave This World And Travel Through Space, Allah Taught Me About This Matter Because Just As The Dead Of Our World Are Able To Be Taken To The Different Heavens, The Souls Of Others From There Are Able To Come Here, And The Qutb And Awliyah Have To Deal With Them.
The Size Of The First Heaven In Comparison To The Second, Is Like A Small Ring Inside A Vast Desert, This Comparison Goes On Up to Seven Heavens, And This Is What Space Looks Like, And The Arsh Dwarfs Everything, So Understand What Is Actually Meant When The Prophet Muhammad (saws) Said He Found The Prophets In Different Regions Of Space/Heaven;
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “The seven heavens are in relation to the Kursi like a ring thrown into a waterless desert. And the superiority of the ‘Arsh over the Kursi is like the superiority of the desert over that ring”;
Anas b. Malik reported on the authority of Malik b. Sa sa’, perhaps a person of his tribe, that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) said:
I was near the House (i. e. Ka’bah) in a state between sleep and wakefulness when I heard someone say: He is the third among the two persons. Then he came to me and took me with him. Then a golden basin containing the water of Zamzam was brought to me and my heart was opened up to such and such (part). Qatada said: I asked him who was with me (i e. the narrator) and what he meant by such and such (part). He replied: (It means that it was opened) up to the lower part of his abdomen (Then the hadith continues): My heart was extracted and it was washed with the water of Zamzam and then it was restored in its original position, after which it was filled with faith and wisdom. I was then brought a white beast which is called al-Buraq, bigger than a donkey and smaller than a mule. Its stride was as long as the eye could reach. I was mounted on it, and then we went forth till we reached the lowest heaven. Gabriel asked for the (gate) to be opened, and it was said: Who is he? He replied: Gabriel. It was again said: Who is with thee? He replied: Muhammad (ﷺ). It was said: Has he been sent for? He (Gabriel) said: Yes. He (the Prophet) said: Then (the gate) was opened for us (and it was said): Welcome unto him! His is a blessed arrival. Then we came to Adam (peace be upon him). And he (the narrator) narrated the whole account of the hadith. (The Holy Prophet) observed that he met Jesus in the second heaven, Yahya (peace be on both of them) in the third heaven, Yusuf in the third, Idris in the fourth, Harun in the fifth (peace and blessings of Allah be upon them). Then we travelled on till we reached the sixth heaven and came to Moses (peace be upon him) and I greeted him and he said: Welcome unto righteous brother and righteous prophet. And when I passed (by him) he wept, and a voice was heard saying: What makes thee weep? He said: My Lord, he is a young man whom Thou hast sent after me (as a prophet) and his followers will enter Paradise in greater numbers than my followers. Then we travelled on till we reached the seventh heaven and I came to Ibrahim. He (the narrator) narrat- ed in this hadith that the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) told that he saw four rivers which flowed from (the root of the lote-tree of the farthest limits): two manifest rivers and two hidden rivers. I said: ‘ Gabriel! what are these rivers? He replied: The two hidden rivers are the rivers of Paradise, and as regards the two manifest ones, they are the Nile and the Euphrates. Then the Bait-ul-Ma’mur was raised up to me. I said: O Gabriel! what is this? He replied: It is the Bait-ul-Ma’mur. Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again. Two vessels were then brought to me. The first one contained wine and the second one contained milk, and both of them were placed before me. I chose milk. It was said: You did right. Allah will guide rightly through you your Ummah on the natural course. Then fifty prayers daily were made obligatory for me. And then he narrated the rest of the hadith to the end.

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalmu Alaikum
The Prophet Of Allah (saws) Said To Me, I Advanced Reality From The Ancient World To The Scientific Age Over The Past 1400 Years, And You Did The Work That Took It From Our Time Into The Next Life, Past The Bridge Sirat, And That Is Where We Are Today.
Qutb
When The Prophet Of Allah (saws) Gave Me My Naqshbandi Silsila, It Was On A Mountain, I Was At The Base Of It And Its Shuyukh Were line Up The Hill All The Way To Abu Bakr At Its Top, Just Before The Gates Of Heaven, While The Entire Ummah Of Islam Where Further Down The Mountain All Watching Me (q).
The Awliyah Interpreted That To Mean I Would Become Qutb, That’s Why The Ummah Were All There Watching Me Become Accepted!
I Completed For Allah All The Work Of All The Realities Of The Day Of Judgement And The Bridge Over Hell Al Sirat; 20 Years Ago Allah Took Me On A Miraj To Where The Resurrection Will Take Place So I Can Bring Its Reality Into This World And Begin Its Work.
This is the full account of a dream/ruqya I had that occurred in the year 2000 in June at the age of 20 while I was living at university, where Allah took us to the place of the resurrection.
After it occurred I first spoke of it to my mother then father who told my uncle that lived near us, soon he visited with his second wife to hear of it. I didn’t know the meaning at the time but eventually at the request of my mother I asked two prominent scholars to interpret it, some years later both would become the mufti of my country one of which passed away in 2012 and the other is the current mufti.
I decided to tell the full account of the dream recently on the advice of the Mala’ikah/Angels who protected me from the shayateen that attacked me in an elaborate dream later on because of it, they attempted to harm us then make light of my work and spiritual experiences with the fact that ‘they have People and Jinn shooting themselves into space reaching the first and second heavens while I’m here on earth marveling at the small things Allah has shown me’.
الٓمٓ (١) غُلِبَتِ ٱلرُّومُ
To give context and significance to this boast, the prophet (saws) said there will come a time when words will be more severe on people than a blow with the sword.
They want to go to mars next and so soon their words will be spoken to mankind from a deeper spiritual place in the universe, and they will have a stronger impact on earth making go deeper into madness.
The prophet (saws) spoke about this issue in Ahadith, He (saws) explained that a persons prayer is lifted to Heaven by the Mala’ikah and it gains more impact in the universe because of it, some prayers reach the 1st Jannah, some the 2nd others all the way to the 7th depending on its Quality, while the words of a degenerate or oppressor remain on earth to ensure corruption doesn’t spread.
But today with the use of satellites the words of these people are automatically raised to the first Heaven and given spiritual weight, that is the podium they are speaking from to the people of earth and the world can not handle their realities.
After the Shayateen attacked me I prayed to Allah and asked the Mala’ikah to advise me on how I should respond, writing this account was their answer, may it crush the devils completely, Allah prepared the way for his servant long before they ever dreamed of reaching space in numbers.
I held of on posting the account for almost a year until I saw it was time, the scholars whose advice I went to seek, Allah had instead sent me to guide them and stop their hand to save the community in this country from them, such was the nature of what Allah bestowed upon us that night, so this account has been publicly shared for well over 20 years under Allah’s guidance.
My Miraj
My journey began with a question I asked Allah directly, how will people be resurrected? the magnitude of the answer I received I would not be able to accept its Maqam in myself for almost a decade. I was a person of immense Haya/shyness I can tell you I reached almost the end of the inner path and was granted a vision of the Arsh as well as the maqam of such an inner struggle, required to reach here, before I even considered Allah had singled me out for something.
Any person on the path asking how do you achieve more, I reached the end after many years of struggle and hardly saw wonders along the way beyond what I am describing in this account which I saw at the very beginning, it was all through Haya, adab and Ihsan that I approached Allah, many of my posts today are about Mala’ikah and my experiences with them that was the very last thing Allah opened for me in my life otherwise if you had ever asked me what I had experienced before this I would have little to say.
Once your nafs is taken care of the highest levels of tariqah that are the domain of the prophets (saws), when you accomplish them at the level of the prophets you will be given news of this and shown, they all relate to self-sacrifice to save others none more important than your own family. Your heart will open to those selfless depths that are near the Arsh because of this effort and only because of it, then you will see how men of their caliber take responsibility and how Man is Allah’s khalifah taking care of what Allah wants.
Any person can go through sacrifice its not more than what you would imagine it, what Allah asks is simple to understand and what it is worth with Him isn’t any less, except for the quality of its intention, than a Wali doing the same but if you do this before your nafs is properly taken care of veils will still exist between your heart and the Arsh, blocking you from seeing but not receiving from those depths.
There is no shortcut its about shaping the heart and having the strength to look at issues and take responsibility, two qualities of the prophet (saws) more than any other highlighted his (saws) inner perfection and strength to look at any issue from any perspective and deal with it. He (saws) cast no shadow and Allah forgave him (saws) his future and past sins, earning these qualities from Allah meant you could not look at the prophet (saws) from any perspective or angle and find fault in Him (saws), so this allowed him (saws) to look at every issue in life from any perspective and not have weakness in His (saws) heart regarding what He (saws) was being exposed to.
Achieving this or something of it at the level of the awliyah is what the scholars meant by becoming an Insan Kamil, a complete human being, or a perfected human being, you have purified your heart from every perspective possible and nothing is blocking your inner perception from any angle and depth from seeing the truth (Haq), only then is your perception of things complete.
Hadith 1: Sayyidina Zakwaan , a close Companion of the Prophet said, the following Hadith: “The shadow of the Prophet could not be seen in the brightness of the sun, nor in moonlight”.(Hakeem Tirmidhi in his book Nawaadirul-Usool )
Hadith 2: Uthman ibn Affan , the son-in-law of the Prophet said to the Prophet : “Allah Almighty does not let your shadow fall on the ground, so that no foot of man can fall on it”.(Imam Nasafi in his Tafseer Madaarik)
Hadith 3: Ibn Saba (said): “This is also a unique feature of the Prophet that his shadow did not touch the ground, because he was light (nur), and when he used to walk in the sunshine his shadow could not be seen.”(Imam Jalaludeen Suyuti in his Khasaa’is al-Kubra )
The prophets perfected these qualities to such an extent they deserved for it to be seen in the world in a special way, having no shadow means you are light from every perspective, being forgiven your past and future sins means you faultless from every perspective at every moment in time. Allah said He (saws) was forgiven not blameless, because while the prophet (saws) never committed a sin every person makes mistakes in Judgement and Allah absolved Him (saws) of even these so nothing hinders Him (saws) spiritually.
The prophet (saws) was so elevated above the rest of mankind Allah decreed that His (saws) shadow didn’t deserve to be stepped upon, for others you will see these things on them in the Akhira just as it was seen on the prophets in life. You can not surpass the prophets in what they achieved they are at the limit of every kind of Ihsan a human can reach, what you will hear from the Mala’ikah is that you have reached the place a certain prophet reached in something you are doing and be shown it.
There is nothing beyond what they achieved which is why they are prophets of Allah representing who He is, we are just following the spiritual influence of their steps in the universe. This has been the reality of man since Allah created the souls of mankind and appointed them prophets, a soul with responsibility placed on it since before mankind was created, the only honour for man today is to achieve the same as them.
Allah, after the events of this night first sent me to two prominent scholars in my community to guide them, then lastly to my own family and that is where I completed my path.
Previously I read how Ibrahim (as) asked about the resurrection and Allah answered Him by telling him to kill a number of birds and to place their parts on different mountains, after which Allah resurrected them in front of him, but I wanted to know the answer in precise detail, I asked the question once and left the matter deciding to show sabr no matter how long it took.
Sometime later maybe six months to a year Allah answered me;
When I woke up in the dream I was comfortably traveling through space with the Mala’ikah, I didn’t see them but I heard their conversation next to me and could feel they were carrying me through space. We traveled for a time then some of them wanted to go at speed while others said in response, “he can’t handle it”, after some back and forth they decided to go at speed with me and space began to rush past me incredibly fast, I began to feel the pressure of the journey on my face and it was immense, but at the same time I began to feel that I wasn’t just traveling through space I had the distinct feeling I was traveling through space and time, time was flowing past me just as space was, and I began to say this out loud in amazement “I am traveling through space and time”, “I am traveling through space and time”, then in astonishment I asked “How is this right”, “How is this possible”, why is time-related to space.
I could literally feel time itself passing me by just as I could fell I was covering a lot of distance and I think it was the Mala’ikah who deliberately allowed me to have a sense of this so I could understand the nature of the Journey, I was being taught something by them.
Anyone who understands physics today will know the answer, it was a relatively obscure theory until satellites proved it in 2011 which significantly, is around the same time I began writing, so this lesson by the Mala’ikah marked the beginning of my Miraj and the beginning of my spiritual openings later in life. Back in the year 2000 when the internet was non-existent and this wasn’t a known subject readily taught in physics classes, science did not widely publicize space and time are intertwined together, yet this was what I was feeling and what the Mala’ikah were teaching me.
I wouldn’t have the answer to it for another 10 or so years when I began studying and writing from what Allah was teaching me, if you have read my work on space and subatomic space you will see the answer clearly, but Allah, who knows the future wanted to give me these experiences and Maqam long before it became relevant in my life so I would be prepared for when the world changed for the worst in 2001 and these people came out into the open with their intentions. Because my spiritual Journey began before 2001 it superseded what anyone else had plans for the world, this is a spiritual reality Allah often mentions in the Quran but very few understand it because they don’t know the significance of its verses.
The most famous is when Allah declared in the Quran in surah al Rum “Alif Lam Mim, The Romans are defeated” long before the Muslims had any hope of even imagining such a thing from scattered tribes that are mostly unlettered, most pagans who heard it laughed yet both the Roman and Persian Empire’s collapsed at the same time as Muslim’s fought them both on different fronts.
This is because the Muslims had defeated/surpassed them spiritually and it means it would only be a matter of time before they would defeat/surpass them in life, Allah was letting the prophet (saws) know how much they achieved and marking the point when it occurred so He revealed the verse to let them know.
The Mala’ikah debating the Journey also knew my future that night, they took me to the edge of what my heart could handle experiencing and that raw feeling from the journey in my heart, which was very tough, still remains with me to this day. Years later the prophet (saws) would teach me about how people see the spiritual world, Ghayb, your eye sight is supplemented by the sight of your heart, so in effect you are seeing the world through your heart and so traveling at speeds the Mala’ikah travel at meant my heart was processing that world at a speed most could not handle, which left a raw feeling there.
There was a purpose to everything I was given that night that would help me later in life, this first part of the journey prepared my heart which now had the experience of processing the universe at such speeds like the Mala’ikah, and it prepared me for a challenge I would face in the near future, (I described it in my post “A Spiritual Challenge”), later in life Allah would open the world of the Mala’ikah to me and this experience along with the place I was being taken to help me with it.
Just before we arrived at our destination the Mala’ikah made me unconscious, preparing me for what Allah wanted us to experience next. When I woke up on a pedestal frozen like a statue, as the feeling came back into my body I saw that Allah was showing me the process of resurrection in myself, literally my body was being resurrected and as the process finished I regained more movement, it is exactly as the prophet (saws) described in ahadith the body will grow like a plant from a seed, from the inside out, and flesh itself out gradually until the process is complete, then the soul will be placed inside the body and given life.
This was the second major experience Allah gave me first hand of and it related to my work some 10 years later regarding how humans have spiritual experiences, how revelation is possible, what is spirituality and the spiritual world, all of which is answered by understanding science, human physiology and the universe around us, Allah helped us put that picture together from everything that occurred on this night. Allah also gave us answers about the Human soul, what it is, what is it made of and how does it exist and give the body life, which we have written about.
Once this experience was complete and we regained full freedom of our body, we stepped down from the pedestal and found our self in a desolate flat landscape, the sky was black and molten brass like Allah described in the Quran when the universe would end, the land looked like a desolate land from Afghanistan with small rocks and pebbles all over the place, there was nothing as far as the eye could see, Allah had taken us to the place of the resurrection, the place where His judgment would take place over creation.
Allah took us to the Maqam of that day and He would raise us to the Maqam of the Mala’ikah that accompanied us, the Maqam of his judgment and knowledge on the world because of what was happening to us in life, He now took charge of us personally “Whosoever shows enmity to a wali (friend) of Mine, then I have declared war against him”. The significance/Maqam of this place is that it is the location of Allah’s judgment upon the universe and everything in it and this fitnah affecting the world is a global one it isn’t just one community attacking you it is a combined effort from Shayateen around the world helping each other because of where they are drawing their power from.
I have spoken about the Malai’kah in the past but to be brief, the Mala’ikah are arranged in the universe in ranks, these ranks are not in terms of strongest to weakest, they are in terms of the stages of life, from the creation of life to what people experience in it, then unto death where you will find Mala’ikat al Mawt and what happens after.
Each Angel is given knowledge of the universe based on that stage so they can carry out their task, Malaikat al Mawt of all the Angels on earth have the most complete picture of life because they are placed at the time of death and witness everything up to that point in time about people, they are judgment up to the time of death. Besides the highest Angels of Allah like Jibril and Mika’il in general three kinds of Mala’ikah have more knowledge and are higher than them.
The Mala’ikah of Jahanam who have knowledge of events passed the day of Judgement and All its events until the people of Hell enter Hell and they take responsibility over them, they must know all of this in advance as well as everyone’s place and why they are there.
The Mala’ikah of Jannah who likewise must know every person who will enter it and their lives in there, and Mala’ikat al Arsh who carry the Arsh and must know everything every Mala’ikah under them knows, there are more Mala’ikah in the universe but these are the ones most people know.

وَٱلصَّـٰٓفَّـٰتِ صَفًّ۬ا (١) فَٱلزَّٲجِرَٲتِ زَجۡرً۬ا (٢) فَٱلتَّـٰلِيَـٰتِ ذِكۡرًا (٣) إِنَّ إِلَـٰهَكُمۡ لَوَٲحِدٌ۬ (٤) رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا بَيۡنَہُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلۡمَشَـٰرِقِ (٥) إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلۡكَوَاكِبِ (٦) وَحِفۡظً۬ا مِّن كُلِّ شَيۡطَـٰنٍ۬ مَّارِدٍ۬ (٧
The prophet Daniel (as) was shown what would occur in our time He (as) said “I kept on watching until the Ancient of Days (Allah) was seated (on His throne)” ready to judge this world, Allah’s judgment upon the entire world is almost here, Allah’s highest mala’ikah are already on earth preparing the way for this. “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence (Judgement) earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them”(Rev 20:7). The world as we know it and the spirituality we have manufactured will dissolved away like salt in water when Allah brings His Arsh close to earth to judge it.
When Allah wants to raise someone He completes their knowledge/picture of the universe for them, this is why you saw many of the scholars of Islam talk about the nature of the universe in their works after Allah accepted them, this was that for me. Allah showed me the significance of the Maqam He raised me to in 2004 when He had me witness His judgment upon the people of the 2004 Tsunami and I witnessed Mala’ikat al Mawt taking the lives of its victims, prior to that Allah placed a conversation in my heart that occurred over a period of two years about their fate in which I came to same conclusion as Him so I would understand His reason.
After arriving at the place the Mala’ikah took me to and stepped down from the pedestal I was resurrected upon I took a few steps and at a distance I saw man standing there, so I walked towards him, as I came close I could feel this was one of Allah’s prophets (as), when I got close enough to see his face I saw it was the prophet Muhammad (saws), He looked at me with a face shining like the full moon and smiling so much I could see his white teeth, he was extremely happy to see me.
I walked and stood in front of Him while he was smiling at me, He (saws) had a bowl filled with milk in his hand, He (saws) gave it to me and said drink, I held it and took a sip from it and out of shyness (Haya/Modesty) gave it back to Him (saws) but this wasn’t enough, so He (saws) gave the bowl back to me and said “Drink and you will never be thirsty again”.
What they deprived me of knowledge in life growing up Allah was rectifying for me at the hands of the prophet Muhammad (saws) and by the end I would have a more complete picture of life and this world than most people on earth who at most only go as far as the world of Jinn spiritually.
I took the bowl from Him (saws) and drank three times from it, each time I drank I took as much as I could handle until I was full, after I finished drinking my vision was lifted from my body to a place above my head and just behind me, I could see the milk going down my throat reaching my heart covering it then in an explosion it spread out and filled my entire chest and arms.
أَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَ
The Mala’ikah were explaining to me what this drink was doing and what the prophet Muhammad (saws) meant, Allah was giving me knowledge and understanding just as He gave it to the prophet Muhammad (saws) and the companions (as).
Ibn ‘Umar Narrated: Allah’s Apostle (peace be upon him) said, “While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was brought to me and I drank my fill till I noticed (the milk) its wetness coming out of my nails. Then I gave the remaining milk to ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattab” The companions of the Prophet (saws) asked, “What have you interpreted (about this dream)? “O Allah’s Apostle (saws) !” he replied, “knowledge.” (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 3, Number 82)
“Kusiyuhu Ilmuhu” the milk represented Allah’s knowledge and so did the Kursi, it means the prophet Muhammad (saws) and Umar (ra) were going to be supported now by the Mala’ikah responsible for the Kursi in life so they would gain all the knowledge Allah wanted to teach them.

أَلَمۡ نَشۡرَحۡ لَكَ صَدۡرَكَ (١) وَوَضَعۡنَا عَنكَ وِزۡرَكَ (٢) ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهۡرَكَ (٣) وَرَفَعۡنَا لَكَ ذِكۡرَكَ (٤) فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرًا (٥) إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلۡعُسۡرِ يُسۡرً۬ا (٦) فَإِذَا فَرَغۡتَ فَٱنصَبۡ (٧) وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرۡغَب (٨
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful; “Have We not expanded thee thy breast? (given you depth of understanding and knowledge)― (1) And removed from thee thy burden (2) The which did gall thy back?― (3) And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)? (4) So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief: (5) Verily with every difficulty there is relief. (6) Therefore, when thou art free, still labor hard (7) And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention. (8)”
After my sight returned to me and I stood in front of the prophet (saws) for some time, I don’t remember why but I think this was the Mala’ikah, I walked past the prophet (saws) and saw a hill at the top of which was very large gates, this was Jannah, as I approached the Hill I saw a silsila (chain) of saintly men beginning at the base of the Hill reaching all the way to the top where the gates of Jannah where.
I was then asked to stand in this silsila of saintly men and Allah made me the next link in that chain, Allah now gave me my own silsila to the prophet (saws) and made me a shaykh of tasawwuf, someone who could correct peoples hearts.
I then looked at every man in that silsila starting with those in front of me, one at a time as I looked at each one they turned around and greeted me, when I started reaching the middle some did not turn around and greet me and this was a choice Allah gave them, I understood why but the Mala’ikah with me did not know I understood so they began to explain, the choice was if they wanted to be distracted by anything in this world or keep their focus on Allah entirely.
It wasn’t a right or wrong answer but a question of the responsibility they wanted to take up, purely spiritual or earthly either was for the sake of Allah, what they chose was something pertaining to their state because at the head of this silsila (chain of saintly men) was Abu Bakr (as) and reaching up to those near Him, some turned around and greeted me while those earlier than them chose not to greet me.
These men were;
- Abu Bakr as Siddiq (as)
- Salman al-Farisi (as)
- Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr (as)
- Jafar as-Sadiq (as)
- Tayfur Abu Yazid al-Bistami (as)
As I looked at each saintly man I also saw their state, sensed their heart, Ihsan or perfection, the closer we got to the top the more perfect in their focus on Allah, I reached the third last person who didn’t turn around, I could see his heart struggled with the choice, the second last person likewise but not to the same extent, He was more perfected in His character and finally we reached Abu Bakr (as), the question reached His heart and the matter wasn’t anything more than three small tremors and He did no waver from focusing on Allah to look at me but stayed entirely focused facing the gate of Jannah, such was the beauty of His perfection which I remember to this day and that is where I set my heart to reach, I have never seen a man such as Him even if you exaggerate your imagination will still fall short in what to say and you will do nothing more than boast, the qualities Allah dressed them with are very much real.
Allah was teaching me through them, I was taking from the men in this chain, I had never seen such men before in my life or taken from anyone like them, they don’t exist today, along with this I witnessed the choices they made and the states they were in when they were making them. I was now given perception of a standard of Ihsan not seen in the world today and knew what it looked like, along with the prophet (saws) for me this was my tassawur.
Because Abu Bakr (as) was at the head of the silsila I was placed in and granted, it eventually became clear to us that Allah placed us in the Naqshbandi tariqah and made us one of its shaykhs, their silsila is the only one that goes through Sayidinah Abu Bakr (as) while every other silsila on earth goes through Imam Ali (as). Although I wasn’t given the names of every man in the chain at the time, what lay ahead for me that night would prove more pressing.
People who join a tariqah train for years to get rid of their nafs so they can reach a high degree of spirituality, that is a another way of saying they spend a long time correcting the psychological mistakes of their youth because it is their ego that is blinding them. There is a reason why Allah saw I was ready for this at the age of 20, growing up although I wasn’t free from error I never made those mistakes and consequently never developed a nafs, I chose to act on every single piece of wisdom I heard at a great personnel cost to my self (Nafs) and most of my time was spent in Jihad.
When later in life I asked Rasul Allah (saws) about the tariqah Allah had given me, He (saws) said “Acting on wisdom increases your wisdom, and that is the shortest path.”
Allah had given me a tariqah characterized by wisdom and the prophet (saws) outlined its method for me.
I stood there for some time but eventually the Mala’ikah continued my journey, the silsila was my spiritual connection up to Jannah in the dream, but eventually I would have to take my own path up to those gates in life where Abu Bakr (as) stood, that path in life they would soon outline for me in the dream and I would see what I had to endure in life because of the fitnah covering the world today.
I walked away to the right of the Silsila and as I walked I was asked to look by the Mala’ikah, I looked to my right and down back to the desolate field where the resurrection will take place, I saw the entire Ummah of Muhammad (as) standing there in ranks as far back as the eye could see covering the entire field, they looked at me as if they watched Allah raise me to that place I had just come from.
The prophet (saws) in ahadith said on the day of Judgement the Ummah will be standing in ranks, each line of people will have 82 persons in it, people will be standing according to how well they did in life, shoulder to shoulder like in Jumaah prayer, the best are at the front and the worst at the back, this is what I saw on that night.
As I was looking at the Ummah I saw they were happy to see me, especially those at the front who I could see more clearly, they were all smiling at me and while I was looking at them happy to see the two women standing near the front, Allah shined a light on their faces that lit them up like the full moon and they became extremely happy with me at this.
I didn’t understand why in the dream because this wasn’t on my mind, but I understood later these were the two women Allah had chosen to marry me to in the next life. Like everything in the dream this served a purpose regarding my future, I was being shown this because marriage later in life would become something those at war with religion would give me immense trouble with creating many obstacles, especially living in the land of the Kufar. From their own boasts since I was young they made an effort to keep me away from any women that chose religion even in my family and any women that chose me and religion they did the same to her, some they would go so far as to send them overseas so I wouldn’t see them or think of them and so they would forget me.
Now Allah was showing me my two spouses and their place in the Ummah of Muhammad (as), Allah placed all of His Rahma with women in this life, our mothers, sisters and wives, there will come a day when Allah will make these people stand in front of me and I will block all Rahma from reaching them on that day.
Salman Al-Farisi reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah has one hundred portions of mercy. From one portion the creation has been given mercy between themselves, and ninety-nine portions are reserved for the Day of Resurrection.” (Muslim)
We’ve lost people close to our heart that we are meant to be with, and struggled for years to help them understand what Allah has shown us regarding them, what He wants for them so they can be saved from the fitnah gripping the world…Allah says act so I can act with you, change only comes after you take action, but fear grips the hearts of women more easily than it does men.
May Allah give the person I lost strength He only wants what’s best for her and knows what they have done with their sihr completely, Allah has explained this to us over the years, otherwise we would not be here helping her to this day.
ٱلۡخَبِيثَـٰتُ لِلۡخَبِيثِينَ وَٱلۡخَبِيثُونَ لِلۡخَبِيثَـٰتِۖ وَٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَٱلطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَـٰتِۚ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَۖ لَهُم مَّغۡفِرَةٌ۬ وَرِزۡقٌ۬ ڪَرِيمٌ۬
Allah is not blind to what we don’t see affecting us in life from behind our backs and He would not ask us on multiple occasions if the Haq of matters wasn’t with her.
We then continued along the path until eventually we began to feel lost within ourselves, I don’t know why but I think if the heart becomes isolated in life a person needs the Ummah to show him the path, isolation was something we would eventually experience after this dream and here Allah was telling us about it.
Eventually, we saw in the dream another path leading up to Jannah similar to the one the silsila of saintly men stood on, it was the same hill but further down the path I followed at its base. There were people, although sparse, walking up that path towards the gate, some would turn around and back walk in the other direction others continued, but as I got close I saw a youth in the prime of his life in the likeness of the prophet (as) Dawwud (as) in his manner (something our heartfelt about him) guiding people towards Jannah and helping those who came back down. He stood there directing people up the path towards the gate but did not take the path himself.
Years later I asked the Mala’ikah to explain this to me and they answered me in a dream, the youth could not handle the spiritual openings of that Journey, not many could, but he knew the path to teach to people and He was helping the Ummah. This path wasn’t simply people walking to Jannah it was the path of the Awliyah of sainthood and these were the people in life taking that spiritual Journey.
We finally reached the path feeling lost disoriented not certain of the direction, in life we have never been lost in our religion its strength got us through the fitnah we experienced but we did become lost regarding the direction we should take in life. As we approached the youth he saw us and placed his hand behind my back firmly and pointing with his other hand towards Jannah said “this is the path to Jannah”, a statement I felt in my heart as he spoke it.
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: “When Allah created Paradise, He said to Jibreel: ‘Go and look at it.’ Jibreel went and looked at it, then came and said: ‘O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will fail to enter it.’
Allah then surrounded it with disagreeable things (Hardships), and said: ‘Go and look at it, Jibreel.’ He went and looked at it, then came and said: ‘O my Lord! By Thy might, I am afraid that no one will enter it.
When Allah created Hell, He said: ‘Go and look at it, Jibreel.’ Jibreel went and looked at it, then came and said: ‘O my Lord! By Thy might, no one who hears of it will enter it.‘
Allah then surrounded it with desirable things (ease) and said: ‘Go and look at it, Jibreel.’ Jibreel went, looked at it, then came and said: ‘O my Lord! By Thy might and power, I am afraid that no one will remain who does not enter it.’ [Abu Dawud]
We walked up the path Allah had taken us to, at first the path was peaceful and easy, as we reached about halfway up the hill, two black figures came and stood on either side of us then began to forcibly drag us up the hill, I put my foot down until I was dragging dirt with me trying to stop them but they kept dragging us towards the gate making everything extremely hard until we could not bear it, such was the struggle, eventually I began to call out to Allah for help and did so until we reached the top, our heart entirely exhausted from the struggle with these black figures, I think they were Mala’ikah representing the shayateen in our lives and this was done to show me the pain and hardship I would face as I took this path in life.
Mala’ikah representing Shayateen dragging me to Jannah means Allah would raise me spiritually on the back of the fitnah they caused for me in life and this is exactly what happened, they kept causing trouble for me until Allah opened the Arsh and the world of the Mala’ikah for me on the back of their efforts. In fact Allah promised me their would not be a fitnah that I would face in life except I would find a solution to it and overcome it. We won’t identify who these shayateen are here or why they would make my path to Jannah hell, but we feel most of that hardship in life is behind us.
We reached the top of the path barely hanging on by the tips of our fingers, such was the hardship, which I care not to go into detail over. Eventually, we reached the top at the end of which was the gate of Jannah and I could see it’s intense noor (light) shining out the gate towards me, I kept walking until I reached it and I as I walked into that light that is when my journey ended and I slowly began to wake up.
Many years later Allah sent me the same two Mala’ikah that accompanied me that night, the two that at the end of the Miraj took on the form of the dark figures to show me what I would experience in life, I was then told to look at them, when I did I was asked, what do you see, I said they look like Mala’ikat al Kursi except they are dressed with more (qualities), I was then told they are Mala’ikat al Kursi but from Jannah so Allah dressed them with more qualities, (the Kursi exist everywhere in the universe not just Jannah) it was then said, that is what Allah gave you that night (what he dressed me with and raised me to).
This Miraj represented something very significant not just in my life but with Allah, Allah says in the Quran;
سَنُرِيهِمۡ ءَايَـٰتِنَا فِى ٱلۡأَفَاقِ وَفِىٓ أَنفُسِہِمۡ حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمۡ أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّۗ أَوَلَمۡ يَكۡفِ بِرَبِّكَ أَنَّهُ ۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬ شَہِيدٌ
“In time We shall make them fully understand Our messages [through what they perceive] in the utmost horizons [of the universe] and within themselves [the microscopic and subatomic], so that it will become clear unto them that this [revelation] is indeed the truth.” [Qur’an 41:53]
Allah made this promise to the Kufar 1400 years ago, my work and the knowledge and Maarifah (direct experience) with the subjects Allah has given me is a fulfilment of that promise to them, this has been made very clear to me by Allah, so again;
