Imam Mahdi

Tomb of Abu Darda (q)

“Allah will give so much power to the Mahdi. He will remove cruelty from the world overnight, religion will be established, and Islam will be revived. The Mahdi will restore its lost value to it, and it will come to life after its apparent demise … Ignorant people, misers and cowards alike, will be very knowledgeable, generous, and brave. … They will practice religion as in the time of Prophet Muhammad (saas)”…. (Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, Al-Futuhat al-Makkia, p. 66; Allamah Muhaqqiq Ash-Sharif Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Rasul, Al-Isaatu li Asrat’is-saat, p. 186)

“The Mahdi will rule the world just like The Prophet Sulayman (as) and Dhu’l-Qarnayn.” (Book of Portents of the Awaited Mahdi p. 29)

“There are four kings (over the) Earth in total. Two are from the believers and two from the unbelievers. The believers are Sulayman and Dhu’l-Qarnayn. The unbelievers are Nemrud and Buhtannasir. ONE FROM MY PEOPLE WILL RULE THE WORLD AS THE FIFTH. In other words, the Mahdi.” (Letters of Rabbani, 2/251)

“He is called the Mahdi because he is given guidance for a situation unknown to anyone.” (Allah will teach him like al Khidr (as) and He will be able to guide like He (as) guided Musa (as)) (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 77)

“The Mahdi will own the entire world.” (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi `Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 10)

“The Mahdi will invade all the places between East and West.” (From Ahadith we know He will rule Arabia, conquer Europe, Invade Russia and Persia, send expeditions to India and America, the later is referred to indirectly, Africa will convert under a leader that will rise from among them, and we can assume south America as well from this statement) (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 56)

“He (the Mahdi) is one who is confirmed as knowing the languages of birds and all animals. Thus his justice will be agreed by all human beings and djinns” (this is not as it seems, communicating with them spiritually is not like learning Japanese it is a baraka Allah gives to Prophets and Awliyah which helps expand their wisdom) (Portents of Doomsday, Berzenci, p. 188)

“He will be known as the Mahdi since he serves as a guide to a hidden state of affairs known to nobody.” (He will rule over ahl al Ghayb, the Mala’ikah, and have a say in what they are in charge of) (Book of Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p. 77)

“In his time nobody shall be woken out of sleep and nobody’s nose will bleed.”(i suspect this refers to sihr that does this and his (as) blocking the power behind sihr on earth. When you change the reality the world lives under you also change what people can and can not do with sihr) (Book of Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, p. 42)

“The Mahdi will emerge from among my community, and Allah will send him to make people wealthy. The community will be blessed, animals will eat and drink in plenty, the earth will give up its fruits”… (this is not what it seems, the prophet (saws) gave away all His (saws) wealth, and poverty is the door to Jannah, that has not changed, but what has changed is the world, the basis of the fitnah corrupting it today is spiritual elitism and evil people being at the top of every kind of mountain so they can rule all the people of the world from ghayb. Today it is impossible to get your spiritual rights unless you come up from under the Mass delusion that is driving the world today, that is why Imam Mahdi (as) is going to spread wealth to such an extent among the people previously denied it, it is a cure for the corruption and oppression we are seeing by the people who horde everything to themselves. This is how He (as) will remove the status quo) (Book of Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times, p. 15)

“The followers of the Mahdi will shelter behind him like honey bees shelter behind the queen, and he will fill the Earth with justice and honesty.” (Book of Portents of the Awaited Mahdi, p. 30)

…”He will bring down rain, bring forth the Earth’s abundance, and my community will enjoy a never before seen well-being in his time.” (Book of Portents of the Mahdi of the End Times p. 9)

Imam Mahdi (as) wont conquer Africa through war, it is stated in Ahadith that during His (as) time a just ruler will emerge from central Africa and many of its people will respond to him, eventually He and His people will convert to Islam after He speaks with imam Mahdi (as).

South America is not mentioned in ahadith because it is a newly discovered land like America. We know Muslims will invade America, it comes from two obscure ahadith (which may or may not be shia, i do not remember the source).

They describe how at the end of time a Muslim expedition will be sent to a land that is described as almost being rectangular in its borders, it is a generalisation, and this land will have giant lakes in the middle of it.

That is not the description of any country on earth today, but the ahadith state one more thing, they characterise it as having a thousand markets, meaning it is the home of capitalization.

Obviously America does not have giant lakes covering it, except if you consider the time this is referring to and the fact that when Allah goes to punish America, He will ask Jibril (as) to hurl an asteroid at it which will hit of its coast causing giant tidal waves to drown it and its people, the Muslims will be able to overpower its people with ease and take much wealth from it, just like the bible says America will be stripped naked.

The Power Of Ghayb In The Human Body

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

In the following video you will see a piece of metal being levitated by a magnetized coil, the force is so strong that it begins to melt the metal. When you watch the video what you want to focus on is the space between the metal and the coil, you can’t see anything but realize that there is an invisible force emanating from the coil and levitating the metal, this force is the predominant force in ghayb called the electromagnetic force.

Metal Melts With Magnets

The electromagnetic force is responsible for the existence of life, prophets receiving revelation, Awliyah receiving inspiration and just about everything that exists in the physical world, it is the same force levitating this piece of metal and you are watching it in action.

There are four fundamental forces responsible for all things in the universe this force is one of them, and there are four Arch angels dedicated to each of these forces, they are the bearers of the throne, among them sayidinah Jibril (as) is the one responsible for this force.

Allah mentions them in the Quran: “Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who believe (saying): “Our Lord! You encompass all things in mercy and knowledge, so forgive those who repent and follow Your Way, and save them from the torment of the blazing Fire! (It is amazing once you understand what Allah is referring to how you see that at every turn He is teaching us about subatomic space in the Quran, encompass with knowledge here refers to the Kursi which is responsible for quantum entanglement. “Kursiyuhu Ilmuhu” and it is the thing encompassing all things with knowledge that shapes how they are created) (Ghafir, 7).

Understand the throne is not subject to gravity it does not need to be held up nor is it floating in space and needs to be held in place, the Arsh is the subatomic foundation of the entire universe, like the shell of an egg, upon which everything else is built, it supports everything;

The Sahaba Abdullah Ibn Masud – May Allah be pleased with him- said: “Between the lowest heaven and the one after it is the distance of five hundred years (this possibly means as Angels travel, because that distance is dependent on how fast you are traveling and the universe is large), and between every two heavens is the distance of five hundred years, and between the seventh heaven and the Kursi (footstool) is the distance of five hundred years, and between the Kursi and the water (the subatomic ocean that created all living things) is the distance of five hundred years, and the Throne (Arsh which is the outer “shell” of the universe) is above the water, Allah the Almighty is above the Throne (fawqa Al-Arsh) (This means Allah’s real nature is outside this universe, He is not bound by what He created, it does not mean there is a space where Allah is. It is also a direction Allah ascribed to himself because His creatures rely on direction, so He chose up to represent Him and outside what He created to find Him). And nothing is hidden from Allah of your deeds.” In another narration: “He knows what you are upon”. Its grading is hasan.

The origin of the word Arsh is as thus:

Al-Khalil said: “The ‘arsh’ of a house is its roof” and the roof of the universe is the Arsh, but because it surrounds it on all sides we can also say it is its foundation.

Ibn Faris said: “The roof of a house is called ‘arsh’, Allah –Ta`ala- said: “Or (consider such an example) as the one who passed by a township which had fallen down upon its roofs (`urooshiha/plural).} [2:259], the meaning is that the roof falls and the walls fall (collapse) upon it.”

Abu Abdullah Al-Qurtubi al-Maliki (d. 671 H.) said: “The Throne is a great, noble and honorable creation, there is no creation (existing) above it. Above its upper most part is nothingness (i.e. There is no creation above the Throne, outside the universe), and below its lowest part is Paradise; as it is its roof, according to the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurairah –Radiyallahu anhu- that the Prophet –Sallallahu alayhi wa Sallam- said: ”If you ask Allah, then ask him the (Paradise of) Firdaws, for it is in the middle highest point of Paradise (the middle of the highest part of Jannah), and above it is the Throne of the Most Merciful, and from it burst the rivers of Paradise.” (That increase Jannah in purity and Happiness) (Bukhari, Ibn Majah and others).

“And you will see the angels surrounding the Throne” [39:75] Four Arch Angels are responsible for the four forces that created everything while Mala’ikat al Arsh surround it meaning they are between us and it, no Angels are literally holding up anything of the Arsh, Allah says this indirectly in the Quran.

If the Arsh has poles to hold it up are the Angels around the throne then closer to Allah than the ones further away holding the poles? “Those who bear the Throne and those around it glorify the praises of their Lord” (40:7) How is that possible when one of them is Mika’il, the greatest Angel, and He is near earth responsible for it, while another is the Angel of death who moves through the universe taking the life of all creatures, and another is Israfeel who does not move from the trumpet, and another is Jibril who is responsible for coming to earth with revelation.

So, Understand, the word pillar is not literal it is like the five pillars of Islam and those who hold them up, the pillars of the Arsh are the pillars of the universe, and the four pillars of the universe are the four fundamental forces that created all things.

If you think this argument is too much Abu Sa’eed Uthman Ad-Darimi (d. 280 H.) said similar to the khawarij who said the Arsh is the entire universe, He said: “And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them.” (69:17), do they (also) carry the heavens, the earth, and what is in them?” certainly, the entire Arsh is enormous in comparison to the heavens and the earth and they are no more capable of that, Angels are created beings with limits. (Ya’qub al Qarrab said: “I have not seen the like of Uthman b. Sa`id neither has he seen the like of himself. He studied Literature under Ibn Al-A’rabi, Fiqh under Abu Ya’qub al-Buwaiti, and Hadith from Yahya bin Ma’een and Ali bin al Madini. He was leading in these sciences, may Allah have mercy on him.”)

Being one of the Pillars of the Arsh means one of the four forces of the universe revolves around your life, like people revolve around the Kaaba and like baraka revolves around it and like Rasul Allah (saws) was a prophet to the entire universe even though He (saws) did not visit all places in it and like the electromagnetic force responsible for all life revolves around Jibril (as).

“The Owner of the Throne” (40:15) this verse indirectly means all of this, the throne is for Allah to sustain and support because He istawa upon it, and not the Angels who cannot even enter it to know what is in it, like mankind can.

This verse tells us the small number of Angels bearing the throne in this life “and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them” (the verse means four Angels, the ones in this life, and four prophets along with them in the next.) (69:17)

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The people will become unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness, and behold, I will Find Musa clinging to one of the pillars of the Throne. Then I will not know whether he regained consciousness before me or he has been exempted because of his unconsciousness at the mountain of Tur (at Sinai) which he received.“. (Bukhari) Musa (as) is one of those prophets who will bear (hold) a pillar of the Arsh in the next life like the four Angels in this one, if you have no context to the prophets (saws) words your assumptions fill in the blanks, and translations become very subtle.

The prophet (saws) says the universe has seven regions, these are the seven levels of Jannah, as a person’s heart matures he is granted inspiration from the first level to the last, the more spiritual growth and wisdom you have, your inspiration then comes from a deeper place in ghayb, until you reach prophethood or complete wilayah and you receive inspiration from the Arsh itself.

The deeper the inspiration the more you are able to complete the picture of life in the universe, now consider that Allah said He istawa on the Arsh, is established on the Arsh.

Understand, in the universe the limit of Angels is the Arsh itself, while man has no limit He can go into the Arsh and received inspiration from what Allah created in it, now consider the size of the Arsh in comparison to the rest of the universe, “like a ring inside a desert”, that is what Allah has exclusively reserved for man, these are the things that are between him and Allah that no other creature can reach, the Arsh is also a hijab between the deepest part of man and Allah’s spiritual creatures who have access to everything else in his life.

Our heart began life understanding the lowest of the low and it can reach to the highest of the high, we are the only creature capable of having a complete picture of the universe, this is why Allah said:

ما وسعني أرضي ولا سمائي، ووسعني قلب عبدي المؤمن…

“My earth and My heavens cannot encompass Me, but the heart of My believing servant encompasses Me.”

As the heart reaches deeper into ghayb it also commands more of its forces, like you saw the force levitating the piece of metal.

“And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything.” (24:35) such is the heart and soul in relation to the magnetic force found in metal.

A Metal when brought to red heat is no longer magnetic it loses this property because its atomic structure that is channelling magnetic forces is being deformed, but it will become magnetic again if allowed to cool while pointing the metal North-South.

The atoms in metals like iron are grouped in magnetically similar regions called domains. When the domains of a material align in the same way, the material itself produces a net magnetic field because atomically it is arranged accurately.

While metal is cooling and facing north atomic-level magnetic domains in the metal rearrange themselves into a magnetic field. “Since the planet’s iron core produces its own magnetic field, these miniature magnets rearrange themselves to point north. Once enough jostling has occurred, all these miniature magnets pointed in the same direction create a magnetic effect.”

The magnetic force of metal is in fact the metal channelling the earth’s magnetic force which is why magnets show north and south, the metal at a subatomic level has now rearranged itself so the earth’s magnetic field is being focused though it and it is now strong enough for us to notice it.

Like the human heart magnets are an example of a physical object channelling a subatomic force.

The spiritual heart of man when nothing hinders its connection to the soul, like the nafs or sin (subatomic filth), likewise channels subatomic forces and man is able to do some amazing things with the help of Mala’ikah who lend him their strength and take advantage of his state.

Understand Karama (saintly miracles) is not a requirement of wilayah it is a by-product, a person can still have faults and be wali who does not perform miracles, we have seen many such stories from the awliyah’s, Allah does not throw away a person if they commit sin, only the prophets are sinless, and the awliayh after them are the most deserving of Allah’s mercy, everything is placed on the Mizan (scales) and your place with Allah is determined thus.

Our spiritual heart is created by the electromagnetic fields the human body creates, it interacts with something else that is subatomic in the human body but at a much deeper level and takes direction from it just like the brain directs the functions and organs of the body and that is the human soul.The soul is our connection to the depths of subatomic space, to the depths of Jannah and the Arsh.

“He is indeed successful who causeth it (the soul) to grow, And he is indeed a failure who stunteth it”. (91:9-10)

The human soul is our first point of contact with the subatomic world, everything that occurs around us sub atomically it senses and gives feedback to our body and its electromagnetic fields to process.

Just like there is an invisible force in the video holding up the piece of metal there is an invisible force inside man guiding him, the spiritual side of his physiology.

Allah describes the major subatomic influences which affect and shape the human soul in surah al Shams, which He asks you to consider in relation to it and think about why.

Allah says: “BY the sun and its radiant brightness (By the suns subatomic influence), By the moon as it reflects the sun! (reflects the suns solar activity at night) BY the day as it reveals the (sun to the) world, By the night as it veils it darkly! (Day and night are cycles of increased and decreased solar activity, Imam Rumi famously said Allah gave man two wings to fly, light and darkness, these cycles are the cycles of change that shape us) BY the sky and its wondrous make (the atmosphere is created because of the earth’s magnetic field shielding it from the sun and space, creating its own independent cycles of weather that also shape us), By the earth and all its expanse! (The expanse of the earth is affected by gravity, it creates the atmosphere and different weather patterns that exist around the world) BY the Soul (which is made from subatomic particles), and how it is formed (from these particles) in accordance with what it is meant to be (it is subject to the Laws of physics, this is the fate Allah is referring to in the verse, the laws of the universe is the half of fate we have no say in, the other half is how the universe reacts to our actions, hence Allah tied this subject of the soul to the previous verses in order to teach us where our influences come from…), And inspired it (through these forces that are the context of this surah) with what is wrong for it and right for it (Allah’s hand works through the subatomic forces of the universe).

To a happy state shall indeed attain he who causes this [self/soul] to grow in purity (human flourishing and creativity is part of this process and corelates to the period of the suns increased solar during its solar cycle), and truly lost is he who buries it [in darkness].

TO [THIS] TRUTH (that previous civilizations already knew of and worshiped) gave the lie, in their overweening arrogance, [the tribe of] Thamud (They denied that Allah was behind this and worshiped the object of space)” (91:1-11).

When a person grows in purity he can channel subatomic forces with clarity because His heart is clear of subatomic clots (filth, that hinder the “coherence of waves”), Rasul Allah (saws) called them rust and Allah called them Ran in the Quran.

“Nay! But on their hearts is Ran (the covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.” (83:14)
Here is the verses context, “[and so,] whenever Our messages are conveyed to them, they but say, “Fables of ancient times!” (83:14) meaning they are unable to perceive the insight in Allah words.

Rasulullah (saws) said, “The hearts get rusted as does iron with water.” (natural magnets are made of iron) When someone asked, “What could cleanse hearts again?” Rasulullah (saws) said, “Frequent remembrance of death and recitation of the Qur’an.”

Hasan al Basri (Rahmatullah alaih) said, “People of earlier times believed the Holy Qur’an to be the Commandment of Allah, they contemplated over it (dedicated themselves) throughout the night and acted upon it during the day. Whereas today you exercise particular care to pronounce its words and vowels correctly, but do not take it as the Commandment of Allah (live by it), and do not contemplate over it (dedicate yourself to it).”

“and eight will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord above them” (69:17) the prophets through their hearts have a great influence on the universe, in the next life four of them will bear its pillars and allow mankind to see and know Allah from under their influence.

I will end this with a hadith that shows everything, even stones, have a subatomic side to them, that benefits or harms man, this is the ghayb, Unseen Rasul Allah (saws) spoke about.

Abu Sa`id (ra) said: I performed Hajj with `Umar, and when he began Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka`bah), he faced Al-Hajar Al-Aswad (the Black Stone) and said, ‘I know that you are a stone that can neither harm nor benefit anyone. If I had not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) kissing you I would not have kissed you.’ Thereupon, `Ali said, ‘No, O Commander of the Believers, it can benefit and harm.’ `Umar said, ‘How?’ `Ali answered, ‘With the Book of Allah, as Allah (Exalted be He) states: And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam’s loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): “Am I not your Lord?” They said: “Yes!”

Allah created Adam, passed His hand over his back, made them testify that He is his Lord and he is His servant, took his covenant (from them) and wrote it on a paper (this is not literal paper but metaphor). This stone had two (spiritual) eyes and a tongue (this is also metaphor). Allah ordered it to open its mouth, put the paper in it and ordered it to testify for the sincere people on the Day of Judgment (much of this hadith is metaphor).’ `Ali added, ‘I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: Al-Hajar Al-Aswad will be brought on the Day of Judgment with a slippery tongue (a tongue that will speak freely) to testify for whomever faced it and was a believer. O Commander of the Believers, now you know that it can benefit and harm.’ `Umar said, ‘O Abu Al-Hasan, I seek refuge in Allah to live among people you are not one of them.’ (the translation is poor, a version of this can be found in the oldest manuscripts of sahih Bukhari).

RE:

Holding A Pillar Of The Arsh

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

Above I deliberately did not site Imam Ibn Arabi as the opinion I was giving tafsir upon regarding the bearers of the Arsh to see who would say what to me, I received the usual “we understand why you thought that, but”…from the kind of people who cannot handle normal science…so why do You think your comprehension matters when you have done no work in yourself to be able to process such subjects?

When you add excessive referencing a person’s attention is drawn to affirming the reference and baraka is lost in the process. On top of that you begin to think you can expertly tell the sahih from the fabricated, a trick the salafi sect (Arabic masons) use…and yes, I received comments from some of them, hence the intro.

Let’s consider this hadith a little further, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The people will become unconscious on the Day of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness, and behold, I will Find Musa clinging to one of the pillars of the Throne. Then I will not know whether he regained consciousness before me or he has been exempted because of his unconsciousness at the mountain of Tur (at Sinai) which he received” (Bukhari).

“Musa (as) is one of those prophets who will bear (hold) a pillar of the Arsh in the next life like the four Angels in this one”, If sayidinah Musa (as) was literally holding on to a pole that supports the entire Arsh, by this logic there are four in existence now and eight in the next life, considering the size of the Arsh how huge will this pole have to be to support the largest things Allah ever created and how would it possible for Musa (as) to hold it.

Its size will be so large it is more accurate to say He (as) was leaning against a wall, can any person say he is able to hold a large wall, your arms can not reach around it and all you would be doing is pressing yourself upon it.

Its one thing to say Angels can do anything, despite that being false and established in ahadith, that they live by the laws of the universe and have limits, but you can’t say that for a human especially since the Quran clearly says prophets are humans like us chosen from mankind.

Our scholars did not go to excess when interpreting ahadith that is why Imam suyuti was able to say these people of earth are yajuj wa majuj while moderns scholars are lost on this subject, and the companions could say lets travel and find the wall of dhul qarniyan, find it and report back to Rasul Allah (saws) who affirmed in ahadith that they did find it, just by normal travel in a northly direction, while today modern shuyukh raised by Disney cartoons give interpretations to ahadith like something from the scifi channel.

Interpretations have to be grounded in reality, Haq and that means science as we know it, the famous Ihya Ulum al Deen (literally the Revival Of Religious Science) is not a spiritual/esoteric work it is a work explaining Islam in the vocabulary of science in the time of Imam Ghazali, only people who don’t realise this think the Imam is saying something magical.

If you want to hold on to fantasy you have no place trying to refute something realistic.

Insha Allah think upon that, wa Eid Mubarak.

Qualifications To Be A Wali

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

I was asked a question about what a person should do if he cannot travel overseas to get qualifications, the answer is simple Qualifications from who?

There is no Islamic institute on earth today you can travel to that is not corrupt and government controlled, these are not my words, one world famous scholar said you will have to go as far as west Africa before you find a place that is not being manipulated, that was a decade ago today that probably does not even exist.

The kufar may be happy at hearing this thinking it will get them somewhere in the end but all of their efforts are for nothing, Allah long ago has perfected teaching His servants, from even before Ibrahim (as) and that is almost 5000 years now.

If you want a lawyer to help you in life, you need a faqih, but people are confusing these matters and what Allah is doing with His Imam’s in this world.

Just like there is no place to go to on this earth to learn there is also no place on this earth where Allah can’t teach. This is the story of al Khadir (as), a person who Allah gave more knowledge to than one of His five greatest prophets. Understand, Al Khidr did not receive revelation if He (as) did Musa (as) would have seen the Angels and never asked Him (as) where He (as) was getting His knowledge from.

Al Khidr(as) received His (as) knowledge from His (as) own soul which Allah was talking to directly, unlike Musa (as) He (as) learned how to look in himself and see what Allah wanted without the help of Mala’ikah talking to him directly or openly, this is the kind of inspiration Allah teaches today to His Awliyah some thousands of years later.

Today the door of revelation is closed but the door Allah opened for Al Khidr is still wide open, this is why Al Khidr (as) is responsible for training all the Awliyah of Allah on earth and why many scholars have reported seeing Him (as) and Learning from Him (as), like Imam Nawawi (as) and Tirmidhi (as).

Are people going to ask Imam Mahdi (as) for a certificate? if not then how do you know He (as) has knowledge and where did He (as) get it from?
You have Iman Allah was able to teach Him (as) in a single night like Rasul Allah (saws) said Allah would, this is the same for al Khidr (as) and the Awliyah so likewise have Iman in the story of Al Khidr (as) in the Quran.

Let’s look at my work and what Allah has given me;

The first book I wrote was on Al Khidr (as), when I finished it Rasul Allah (saws) came to me and said I had reached the 6 depth of meaning on this subject, the Quran has 7 depths, I reached the sixth with my first book.
My Second book was on Syria and Signs of The Hour, it is the first book I know that arranges the ahadith in the proper order Rasul Allah (saws) intended them, it is more accurate than Imam Ibn Kathirs work and gives a clear picture of what event each hadith is referring to. This work took me a number of years to finish and throughout that time Rasul Allah (saws) would help me with the arrangement. In it I identified the biggest fitnah in ahadith, people still could not place it among the words of Rasul Allah (saws), September the 11th, where the West declared war on the rest of the world. From this precise arrangement you can clearly see how He (saws) spoke about what would happen from year to year, decade to decade until the hour which the companions (as) said He (saws) did but no one knew it until now.
My next openings where in Tafsir and the major one was the proper Tafsir of the verse of light 24:35. I am the first Mufassir of Allah, after the first generation, who understood this verse properly, Allah gave me its tafsir to share in this world and it opened the rest of the Quran for me afterwards.
I was also given the Tafsir of surah Al Shams, Al Rahman, Al Takwir, Nun, Al Mulk, Ta Ha, Al Hashr, Al Hadid, Al Aala and Surah al Najm. Surah al Najm is the Tafsir in which Rasul Allah (saws) informed me I reached the seventh depth of the Quran in its understanding. Only a small portion of knowledge remained which the prophets knew, I asked about this at a later time and I was shown exactly what Rasul Allah (saws) understood more, it is all science like a physicist would explain about this universe except most of their talk is based on theory, speculation and evidence. Rasul Allah (saws) was given Al Yaqeen regarding each subject of science.
Next Allah gave me understanding of all the verses and Ahadith that talk about subatomic space and the nature of the universe, the correct meaning of how Allah created everything. Before I wrote anything, people looked at these ahadith and thought this earth is on the back of a fish in the wind on the back of a rock, no one knew or had a clue what Rasul Allah (saws) was referring to so I dedicated an entire section of my work to this Tafsir. The tafsir of this subject came to me exactly like Allah said in the Quran “As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good.” (29:69)
After all of this Allah allowed me to prove Ghayb, the spiritual world is the subatomic part of our universe and it is responsible for everything we know about religion, all the miracles and reasons we do everything. Before this people had weird thoughts about spirituality, many still do. So I wrote many works on this subjects and that culminated in Allah allowing me to fulfil a promise He (swt) made to the Kufar in verse 41:53. Allah let me know beforehand this is what He was doing with my work but I had to wait a number of years before that promise was fulfilled.

“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 [what they are looking at] is indeed the truth (This, the subatomic, is the origin of the Quran and everything spiritual).” [Qur’an 41:53]

No work is perfect, if you can see the baraka Allah gave me then understand what it is.

Imam Dabbagh (as) who was the Ghawth of His time and one of the Awliyah Allah sent to guide me because of our similarities, was not even a Hafiz of the Quran He came from a long line of prominent scholars but deliberately shunned getting qualifications.

Understand, the Quran and guidance have nothing to do with Allah’s ability to guide, Adam (as) did not know the Quran or Fiqh or Usul, actual Usul al Fiqh came from Imam Shafii (as), before Him no one on earth prophet or otherwise knew it.

Guidance is the state of your heart not what you have learned or memorized, I am a well-educated person except the fitnah that is covering this world today has stopped me from doing what I want but I can tell you with certainty Al Hamdulillah I did not place my heart and mind at the hands of teachers who will place it in a box and blind it to Allah.

That is the reason Imam Dabbagh (as) did not want to learn from scholars He easily had access to, He wanted to learn from Allah only. Scholars teach you what came before that traps your mind on their sunnah but if Allah wants you to open new things for mankind then He has to clear you of your preconceptions, the things that shaped your mind to the sunnah of everything other than Him, this is why Rasul Allah (saws) could not read or write.

Imam Dabbag’s work is exactly that, Allah bringing new knowledge into this world, He explains what goes on in ghayb like no scholar before him, we come from an Ummah whose sunnah is for Allah to teach its Imams himself starting with the Prophet (saws).

Likewise, my work is about opening for mankind the proper tafsir of matters, pointing them in the right direction they should be looking to understand the Quran.

Al Hamdulillah it is not more than showing people that all of it including the things they could not explain is not more than science and physics and saying to people you are neglecting these when looking at the Quran or doing something weird with them, the answers are much simpler and straight forward.

This is the Barakah Allah gave us almost 20 years ago, it took a lot for that light to appear in the world but Al Hamdulillah it finally has.

Al Khidr (as) teaches all the Awliyah today because they need to do what He (as) does, He (as) Needs to show them what He (as) showed Musa (as), how to listen to Allah directly.

There is a reason Allah guided us to write about the subject of al Khidr (as) first, there are a small number of Awliayh who are like Him (as) in life who Rasul Allah (saws) teaches, (Rasul Allah (saws) explained this to me), they learned from Allah speaking to their souls, Imam Dabbagh (as) my teacher was one, I am one so is Imam Mahdi (as), there are also many more you have not heard of.

When I said “I am the first Mufassir of Allah, after the first generation, who understood this verse properly” that was not an assumption, some years after this occurred and Allah elevated me to a place where I could speak to Rasul Allah (saws) I saw how He (saws) understood the science behind the universe so I asked about the Sahaba (as), if they also understood and who.

The answer came back that yes they understood the science behind the universe but not many of them, they understood it with the vocabulary Allah and His (saws) prophet (saws) gave it.

Two names where given as having complete understanding Abu Bakr (as) and Umar (as), Ibn Abbas to some degree along with Ibn Masud (as), although their names are not mentioned you can also assume Uthman ibn Affan (as) and Ali (ra) about whom the prophet (saws) said “I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate”, but not to the same extent as the prophets two closest companions Abu Bakr (as) and Umar (as).

Understand this hadith, the prophet (saws) said ““Never was anything revealed to me that I did not pour into the heart of Abu Bakr.”

I am a person who studied civil engineering, I did advanced mathematics and had classes in physics, at another time it was said to me Umar (as) understands the universe better than myself to show me to what extent the companions reached in their understanding of what Allah gave to Rasul Allah (saws).

That is better than you have seen me write about it relying on science and research papers, that is also better than what I understood from those research paper’s which are the words of physicists, but at this level it is only Abu Bakr and Umar (as) who have reached this.

No one ever assumed Ali (ra) understood quantum mechanics before this, so understand He does but His Knowledge/expertise lies in the wisdom Rasul Allah (saws) brought with Him (saws), it was explained to me this was because when Rasul Allah (saws) was made a prophet Ali (as) was still a youth (10 years old), while Abu Bakr (as) began hearing everything from the start as an adult with full maturity and comprehension, (the prophets mission was for 23 years, Imam Ali (ra) converted at the age of 10 and He (ra) was about 23 when they migrated and 32 when Rasul Allah (saws) died).

Ali (as) is the father of ahl al bayt, the scholars and awliayh Allah charged with spreading His light on earth until Qiyamah, this is the door Rasul Allah (saws) was referring to that is with Ali (as), the Imams from among His children and descendants will be the door mankind walks through to reach the city of knowledge, the wisdom Allah placed with Rasul Allah (saws).

This knowledge is not easy, think about atoms, imagine trying to explain that everything is created from atoms, then explaining subatomic space from that and then all the science behind it to Arabs that lived 1400 years ago in a desert.

That is starting from scratch, today you have society to assure you of things you have not seen, that was not the case 1400 years.

When Rasul Allah (saws) said “Abu Bakr does not precede you because of much prayer or fasting, but because of a secret that is in his heart,” this is what He was referring to.

Abu Bakr (as) understood it all from scratch and that is what made Him (as) excel above everyone else, having a clear understanding of what Allah created, in worth that is like receiving revelation and being the first to spread that light to the rest of mankind from which you will have a share in everything they gained. The supremacy of the prophets is their Ihsan allowed them to respond to Allah first after He created the souls of mankind, the merit of understanding what Allah created is a result of that day why you are seeing this in life from people, the souls who receive this are those who also turned to Allah after the prophets did.

Besides Ihsan this sir is what makes the Awliyah surpass others, “The Awliyah do not precede you because of much prayer or fasting, but because of a secret that is in their heart,” a secret perception/ understanding/ knowledge/ haq/ reality which all comes from the light Allah places in their heart, that allows them to understand as Allah wants them to understand from which they speak the words and gain the knowledge Allah teaches them.

I know this because this is how I surpass you, how Allah and Abu Bakr (as) made me understand it so I am able to say it to you now without fault in my nafs.

You often see the awliayh talking about the universe saying things never heard of before, that comes from Allah completing their understanding/vision/picture of His creation, it is a Maqam you reach and an opening you receive so your mind’s eye (your heart) can understand the nature of what you see in the world around you, every wali who comes close to Allah receives this.

You cannot become insan kamil without it, if a wali is not able to describe Allah’s creation to you he has not received this yet.

Revelations about the universe which we call science today began the dark ages in Europe from which we saw many scientist killed or imprisoned.
Although Abu Hurairah (ra) was not referring to this depth of knowledge when He said the following it is still the same point; Abu Huraira (ra) said “I have memorized two kinds of knowledge from Allah’s Apostle. I have propagated one of them to you and if I propagated the second, then my throat would be cut” (Bukhair).

The wali is able to see Allah talking to him, the Mala’ikah talking to him and the jinn talking to him.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ

Rasul Allah (saws) Said…

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

I often say in my writing Rasul Allah (saws) said intending what i heard from Him (saws), Understand this is not binding on anyone and you should take it as general advice you can or don’t need to act on, this is the way of our scholars regarding such matters.

Insha Allah for those not familiar with how a person can see the prophet (saws) regularly, I will insha Allah explain it in the context of Islam’s history.

Being a Naqshbandi shaykh naturally you read the biographies of the shuyukh in the silsila, when you do you will find that Rasul Allah (saws) is very active in their life because they are Awliyah and he is responsible for raising their souls like a father would raise a son. If it is not Rasul Allah (saws) doing this you will see it is Sayyidinah Khidr (as) who is responsible for all the Awliyah on earth, He is their Imam, if is not sayyidinah Khidr (as) Allah will send one of ahl al ghayb, one of the awliayh that have passed away to do this Job.

You can read their biographies here:

http://naqshbandi.org/golden-chain/the-chain/

Just be warned when they talk about excessive dhikr they are counting the hasanat of the dhikr, not the actual number, so don;t attempt this yourself you can get hurt.

So how does this occur for a person? the first thing you have to understand is that this hadith is literal:

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (saws) said, “He who sees me in his dream will see me in his wakefulness for Satan does not appear in my form (to a person who is awake).” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim).

The grading of this hadith is agreed upon, it is the highest grading a hadith can achieve and is equal to the Quran in authority, only ahadith that appear in both the Sahih of Bukhari and Muslim receive this grading and it means it is beyond doubt that Rasul Allah (saws) said it.

This is how it starts of for a wali, he first sees Rasul Allah (saws) in his dreams then as he progresses upon the path, when he reaches its end meaning he is able to see what is in ghayb with ease, the soul of Rasul Allah (saws) will visit him whilst awake so He can see his (saws) soul.

This is how it was for me, I first saw Him (saws) 20 years ago in a dram where He (saws) placed knowledge/light in my heart, then for the next 15 or so years Allah put me on a path/tariqah that would draw me closer to Him. During that time I rarely saw Rasul Allah (saws) or anyone for that matter, it was adab and Ihsan that I worked on, that is the naqshbandi way, when my heart received the final opening, it was Rasul Allah (saws) who came and removed the final veil between my heart and the Arsh of Allah, at that time I saw Him (saws) whilst I was awake as clearly as any person, there was another prophet (saws) with Him (as) who remained veiled and two Angels.

Each person’s life is different for me I grew up facing fitnah and it was the fitnah that i faced and lived through that raised me closer to Allah, each time I was attacked Allah raised my rank with Him, until I reached the Arsh.

I am saying this because if you read the lives of the Awliyah like Imam Dabbagh (as) you will see they had access to Rasul Allah (saws) like you would have access to a person living next door to you. That is not the case with myself because they lived in a time where the atmosphere of earth was still pure free from sin and fitnah, today we rule the entire world but the lives people lead of zinah, zulm, sihr and drunkenness, there is not a place on earth that is not filled with it.

It is like a barzakh between us and ghayb, between our ability to see spiritual matters with ease, this is what the Mala’ikah taught me is affecting things, so whilst I see Rasul Allah (saws) regularly now that I am at the end of matters, it is not as what Imam Dabbagh (as) and the earlier generations would have experienced.

I am an Imam like Imam Dabbagh (as), Rasul Allah (saws) likened me to Him (as) and through those 15 years that I hardly experienced anything Allah sent Him to guide me, along with other Awliayh, because of our similarities.

If you read “Pure Gold From the Words of Sayyidi Abd Al Aziz Al Dabbagh ” and you know my work well enough you will see similarities in how we answer subjects.

Here is a section from introduction to that book by Imam Lamati His main student who became the faqih of his country, when He first met the wali He tested Him to see if He was genuine;

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem;

Concerning the Hadiths we questioned him about.

One of them was the Hadith transmitted by al-Tirmidhi from Abd Allah b. Amr b. al-As who reported:

‘The Prophet of God-God’s blessings and peace be upon him came forth to us and he had two books in his hands. He said about the one in his right hand: “This is a book from the Lord of the worlds. It contains the names of the inhabitants of Paradise, with the names of their fathers and their tribes. No one will be added to them, nor will anyone ever be subtracted from them.'”

Then he said the same thing about the book in his left hand concerning the inhabitants of Hell-fire.

At the end of the Hadith he said: ‘He spoke with a gesture of his hand and hurled the two books away. Then he said: “Your Lord has finished with His bondsmen. One group is in Paradise, the other group is in Hell-fire.'”

[As we will see from the Imams tafsir the prophet Muhammad (saws) was teaching the companions through metaphor. The fact the Prophet said Allah has finished with his bondsmen regarding the list of who will go to Hell or Heaven, means the list is predicated on the prophet’s existence in this world and His work. In other words, Allah decided on the finality of the list only in the time of the prophet Muhammad (saws) because His prophethood decided who of mans future generations will accept His (saws) light and who won’t because it now appeared in the world. Think in terms of chemistry and physiology, whose body and nafs will allow the light of Islam in so it changes them and who will reject it, this is fate at the spiritual level. Allah did not allow His knowledge of the future to interfere with mans freewill, this is the gift of creation, it is our last chance to change our fate because Allah based fate on the reactions and systems of the universe as we make our choices in life. The Pen wrote down the future of all things, but the finality of who will go to hell and heaven based on knowing/reading the future based on the reactions of the universe which the Pen did, was not allowed to be finalised until the light of the prophet Muhammad (saws) was in this world to affect it and see the outcome].

Ibn Hajir says: ‘The Hadith’s chain of transmission is good.’ But someone found it to be of doubtful authenticity. In his opinion it associates divine omnipotence with what’s inconceivable, by putting all the names of the inhabitants of Paradise in a book which the Prophet could hold in his hand-God’s blessings and peace be upon him! And the same is true for the names of the inhabitants of Hell-fire. (this is the weakest kind of hadith criticism based on your logic of what is possible and not possible, when it is the only thing you can find wrong with the hadith, this criticism is negated by the fact Allah put His words and infinite knowledge in a book called the Quran).

Here’s the text of his question. Indeed, he asked al-Dabbagh a number of questions, one of which was: ‘Oh Sayyidi, it’s a tenet of the scholars of speculative theology (kalam) that divine omnipotence is associated with things that are possible, not with the inconceivable. Yet the following has come down in a hadith from the Chosen One:

(126) “One day he came forth to his Companions with two books in his hands and said: ‘In this one book are the names of the inhabitants of Paradise, with the names of their fathers and the names of their tribes and their families, and in the other book are the names of the inhabitants of Hell-fire along with their fathers, their tribes and their families. ‘”

And this despite the small size of the two books! What we have here is citing the small for the large without diminishing the large or magnifying the small. For, really, what register could contain the names of [all] these people? This is the strongest proof of the rational impossibility of inserting what’s spacious into what’s narrow-if one wishes to do this while keeping unchanged the smallness of the one object and the largeness of the other. But the person reporting this, as mentioned at the beginning of the question, is the infallible one [Muhammad] who “doesn’t speak on the basis of arbitrary whims” (53/3).’

AI-Dabbagh replied-God be pleased with him: ‘What the theologians and the people of the Sunna and the Community say God be pleased with them-is sound doctrine. It isn’t possible for there to be something in the behavior of the Friends of God and in the evidentiary miracles of the apostles (mujizat al-risala) which is inconceivable to the human mind. Of course, both contain things which the mind falls short of grasping. But if the mind is given right guidance concerning the intended meaning, it accepts it and submits to it. Now the writing referred to in these two books is writing accessible to sight (nanar), not writing of the pen.

Thus, if someone with deeper (spiritual) vision (basira), especially the chief of the first and the last, our lord and master Muhammad-God’s blessings and peace be upon him-turns his attention to something in order to see it, his deeper vision penetrates the veils between himself and the object of his sight so that the light of both [i.e. that of the object and of his sight] reaches him and he grasps it. If the image of the seen object occurs in his deeper vision and we suppose this vision to be perfect, its effect (hukm) then transfers to the eyes and the eyes also come to possess the power it possesses (this is the truth behind the hadith “He who sees me in his dream will see me in his wakefulness”). The eyes then see the image depicted on whatever stands before them. If what they encounter is a wall, they see the image on the wall and if what they see is his hand, they see the image on his hand. If what they see is paper, they see the image on paper.

In the same way one can understand the hadith: “Paradise and Hell-fire were portrayed for me on the surface of this wall.”

That was because the Prophet-God’s blessings and peace be upon him-concentrated on them with his deeper vision while he was performing the prayer of the eclipse (salat al khusuf). This penetrated to his eyes, and what they had in front of them was the surface of the wall. He then saw the image of both things-God’s blessings and peace be upon him!

This is also how the hadith about (127) the two books is to be understood. The Prophet-God’s blessings and peace be upon him-concentrated on Paradise with his inner vision and its image occurred to his eyes. What they had in front of them was the book that was in his right hand. He began-blessings and peace be upon him-to look at the image of Paradise and its inhabitants in that body which was in his right hand, and then he said: “This is a book from the Lord of the worlds. It contains the names of the inhabitants of Paradise, with the names of their fathers and their tribes.”

If there’s a difficulty in understanding the hadith: “Paradise and Hell-fire were portrayed for me”, then this hadith as well contains a difficulty. If there’s no difficulty in it, then this one contains no difficulty either. The difficulty arises from taking the writing to be writing produced by a pen. If it were here a question of writing with a pen, the end of the hadith would present a contradiction, for it says:

“…he hurled them both away”, ie. the two books-meaning he cast them and threw them away! But how would the Prophet-God’s blessings and peace be upon him-throwaway a book that came from the Lord of the worlds and contained the names of His elect and His apostles (rusul) and the best of His creation, since the Prophet-God’s blessings and peace be upon him-more than anyone in creation was given to glorifying God and His apostles and His angels. The image which occurred in the body was called writing because of its resemblance to writing in so far as it indicates something exterior, since writing can also be applied on the exterior.

Indeed, the word kitaba (writing) is derived from gathering (al-jam) and whatever is gathered together (majmu) is also said to be recorded (maktub). Thus squadrons of war are called kata’ib because of their being gathered in groups (takattub) and assembled (ijtima). And the singular is katiba, i.e. recorded (maktuba) and assembled (majmu’a) and included in other squadrons (kata’ib).

The writing (kitaba) in question is ascribed to the Lord of the worlds because the light that causes the occurrence of the image, which is here expressed by the book, is beyond what the bondsman can bear and not something he can acquire. It’s a Lordly assistance and a light from God the Sublime. What has emerged from this is that the meaning of “writing” (kitaba) is the image that occurs in the sight (nazar) and nothing else. That it occurs in the sight isn’t difficult to understand, as is the case with all visible things in the sight. The pupil of the eye, despite its smallness, has huge images depicted in it (128) such as the image of the sky-and the pupil is even smaller than a lentil. Thus the Hadith belongs to the category of things that are possible, and the same is true of all the evidentiary miracles and supernatural events. But God knows best!’

Verse 41:53 Has Been Fulfilled

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

Allah made this promise to the Kufar in the time of Rasul Allah (saws), He said:

“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]

Tafsir Kash Al Asrar:

“It is said that the Lord’s religion, which is the cause of the deliverance of the servants and the foundation of their familiarity with Him, is built on two things: One is showing on the part of the Real (Allah), and the other traveling (the tariqah) on the part of the servant. Showing is what He says: “We shall show them Our signs on the horizons.” Traveling is what He says: “Whoso does a wholesome deed (focus’s his insight on good), it is for himself” [41:46]. As long as there is no showing on (Allah/Al Haq’s) part, there will be no traveling (seeing) on the servant’s part.

“Showing takes place in both the signs of the horizons (the universe) and the signs of the souls. In the signs of the horizons, it is what He says: “Have they not gazed upon the dominion of the heavens and the earth?” [7:185]. In the signs of the souls, it is what He says: “And in your souls; what, do you not see?” [51:21]. He is saying, “Do you not look at yourself and do you not think about your own makeup?” [Tafsir Kash Al Asrar]

Alhamdulillah this morning Ahl al Ghayb (as) informed me this verse has been fulfilled.

I have written how my work was to fulfil this promise of Allah in the Quran, this is what He sent me with, some of you may have seen how my work is primarily about this subject, this is what that fulfillment looked like as Ahl Al Ghayb informed me;

The main point in my work was to show people how the subatomic part of our universe is the Ghayb Allah speaks about in the Quran, it is responsible for all of our spirituality and religion along with the miracles many of us have read about.

Over the years as I wrote about this it became increasingly clear to people that I was right, the first I saw of this was when my enemies, the head of the Ikhwan and Salafi’s in this country sent me his Jinn to tell me “we are all beginning to see it this way”, this was then followed over the years by non-Muslims, Australians, from various places in society doing the same.

They mostly spoke about the contrast of what they used to believe, essentially pseudo-science used to understand spirituality, compared to now where science and physics are seen as the explanation to our spirituality and religion, they said that when they will look back on my work they will remember this contrast of what they used to believe compared to now and how I cleared that for them.

This clarity they saw is the fulfillment of Allah’s promise, this is the subject Allah wanted them to understand, this is how Allah wanted them to see spirituality.

We shall make them fully understand what they see in the utmost horizons [of the universe] and within themselves, so that it will become clear unto them that this is the truth, this is where it all comes from.

Alhamdulilahi rab al Alameen, Insha Allah pray two rakat shukr.

The Quality Of Prophet Hood In A Persons Heart

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum,

This is an answer taught to me by Allah through my Kashf and Maarifa then explained to me by Rasul Allah (saws) after reaching it.

The prophets Isa (as) and Muhammad (saws) are perfect examples of this, they are the two prophets I had in my heart at the time and am able to mention their names regarding this.

Rasul Allah’s (saws) worst enemies where not the Romans, Persians or the strangers He (saws) did not know, His worst enemies where His (saws) own family and Uncles, one of them was so severe there is an entire surah in the Quran dedicated to his punishment, surah al Masad.

Isa (as) faced similar from His companions and the people around Him (as);

The first step to prophet hood is mastery in the heart over the deepest pain inflicted by those closest to you, to the point where forgiveness is not even a question and you can sit in front of them and dispose of their affairs and rights with complete balance and fairness in your heart, your heart never wavers from being able to judge with balance and that quality is the key.

People can forgive but can your heart maintain complete and absolute balance if an issue arises and you need your inner perception to maintain itself so you can see with clarity.

The Prophets are those able to do this with perfection, without wavering in any situation, when a person is capable of this Allah walks them through the door of prophet hood.

That is the door that is closed today to rest of mankind because in some realities certain qualities can harm a person, for example showing to much mercy to a tyrant can lead to your death. Allah is not looking for people who will show mercy blindly His people Have Hikmah (Wisdom) and know when something is good and when it is harmful.

The Quality of the prophets in our time is too much of a burden upon a person because we live in a time in which Rasul Allah (saws) advised us not to try to fix the problems of the world, the people of today are beyond help and will kill you like the Jews killed their prophets, they will destroy your heart and that balance is impossible and not necessary in our time because judgment upon them is punishment.

People like Umar (as) who the prophet (saws) said would have been prophets after Him (saws) are able to reach this quality but Allah will not allow them to master it, that is a distinction, Allah won’t allow them that door is closed.

This last point regarding mastery/control/Ihsan is an explanation I received from Rasul Allah (saws).

Some people maybe tempted to see this quality in themselves, Understand the harm that come at the prophets (as) which their hearts had to deal with came at them like a mountain from many directions at the same time.

Believe with certainty you will be in distress rather than balance in such situations, because every foundation and rock in your personality will be shaken by the people who are its basis in your life.
