What Is Time?

Mihrab Fatima Al Zahra (ra)

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, assalamu alaikum

Mankind discovered that time and space are connected together, like the screen of your monitor is connected with the electronics behind it that make it work, it is only one part of a machine we call the universe and not independent of it, time is tied to all the matter that exists in the universe and relies on it to determine how it flows.

Man would go on to prove this with experiments and discover that time can flow differently in different places, time on earth is different from the sun or the moon or space.

This is because if time and matter are connected then places with a lot of matter, a lot of Mass, will make time behave differently than places that have none.

Understand, the flow of Time besides being tied to Mass is also the occurrence of events, the passing of one event after another, Allah brings about events in the universe to move time forward, time is not the continuous counting of numbers on a clock, because of this Allah said “I Am Time” the bringer of events.

He related time to Himself because He is the Qadir of every event and they are so continuous in the Universe you can also say Allah is time itself because it bears HIS qualities (not the other way around, you can’t say time is Allah this is the not the same statement).

You don’t age because the clock on your wall is ticking you age because the systems in your body are behaving that way, one event after another, except time relies on the universe at large and not something physically small like man.

The building blocks of time start at the subatomic level, so as you go from the smallest particle in the universe to the largest, then to Atoms and molecules, then planets and suns, Mass increases.

The difference in Mass between subatomic space and the rest of the universe is so huge that the physics which dictate our life, how planets and life on earth work, is not the same for subatomic particles, they work by a different set of laws we call quantum mechanics.

The flow of time on earth exists this way because of the Mass of earth, so understand the flow of time in subatomic space is almost non-existent by comparison because particles have almost no Mass. That is, the flow of time for things that have almost no Mass is almost none existent, the photon particle (or light) is timeless and so Angels are timeless never aging or growing old.

Therefor when Rasul Allah (saws) went on his Isra wal Miraj, a journey into ghayb, the world of Angels time flowed differently and a journey of 33 years occurred in a few seconds, the amount of time it took to have a dream, hence the Quran and Allah attest to time flowing differently in different parts of the universe.

Isa (as) was taken into ghayb, Jannah, the place the universe created in the subatomic part of space and He has not aged in 2000 years, He (as) will not die until He (as) comes back to earth, because time is experienced differently in these places.

Tafsir 17:81: Why Lies and Delusions Are Always Bound To Vanish

Imama Shareef of Sayidina Muhammad (saws)

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, assalamu alaikum

Allah says “And say, “Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed falsehood, [by nature is], ever bound to vanish.” (17:81)
Insha Allah I am first going to teach you how the universe is built then why Lies and delusions cannot persist in the universe.

If you think about your body it is made of atoms and those atoms are made of electrons, protons and neutrons and those particles are made of smaller particles called quarks and they are made of even smaller particles, and so on and so on, in the Quran Allah calls this hierarchy of particles the tree whose fruit comes from a light that is neither from the east or the west (24:35) because it comes from within things, light upon light, particle within particle.

But what you may not know is what this looks like in the universe, you see these particles exist amongst large fields of similar particles that span the entire universe like an ocean, so there is a huge particle field made entirely of protons, another of electrons and another of neutrons, and in each one there are particles fields made of quarks and so on and so on, until we get to the last two fields created from the smallest particles Allah created, the first is called the Kursi by Allah and the second and more significant is called the Arsh, His throne which is the boundary between us and Allah, between us and what is outside the universe, Rasul Allah (saws) said it exists like a shell of an egg surrounding the entire universe.

Physics has come to call the science responsible for understanding this QFT, Quantum Field Theory, or subatomic particle field theory.

So, man and his thoughts exist in these fields that start at the Atom and end at the end of the universe, not just in width and length but also in depth within Atoms.

Why do I mention mans thoughts? Because when we think, see images in our mind that image is created from particles, it has to be created from something and everything is created from particles, scholars like Imam Al Ghazali (as) understood this and explained it, Imam Al Ghazali went so far as to say Angels are created from the same light our thoughts are created from, read his work the niche of lights which is entirely about this subject.

The human body, our physical body is from Atoms and our nonphysical thoughts from nonphysical matter, particles. The nonphysical part of the universe and everything in it is called the spiritual part of the universe, ghayb the unseen in the Quran because we can’t see it with our eyes.

Because our mind creates Images from the same thing ghayb is created from, man has the ability to see what is in ghayb with his mind. If a person is prone to delusions in his self he is also prone to seeing delusions in his mind, things he makes up, but when a person purifies himself, gets rid of his self-delusions, what His mind sees is Haq (Straight/the Turth).

Allah explains this in the Quran, after removing the veils from our inner sight which make it easy to be deluded because we can’t see and instead rely on what our anfs tells us, Allah says: “You were heedless of this (day), so now We have removed your veil (from you), and your sight today is iron!” (50:22) sees straight with no delusions.

But one thing is missing from that equation in this life, just because you don’t have self-delusions that does not mean you will see, you still need the light of Allah to see with, and Allah places this light in the heart of a person so it illuminates his vision and shows him through the veils (Quantum fields) that cover ghayb and the universe like layer upon layer.

Your inner vision alone is not strong enough to see through the veils of ghayb it needs help from Allah and the Mala’ikah, the prophet (saws) explained to Haritha (as) after He (as) came to Rasul Allah (saws) and said He (as) could see Jannah and Jahanam and the Arsh, “[You are] a slave whom Allah has illuminated the iman (light) in your heart”

These veils/fields as we explained exist through the entire universe and upon man’s spiritual heart and mind, Imam Tustari explained the way to Allah thus:
“the nafs (self) has seven celestial veils (hujub samawiyyah) and seven earthly veils (hujub ardiyyah), when ever man buries his nafs (self/ego) in earth upon earth (ardan ardan), (lowers his esteem and ego), his heart (qalb) is raised up heaven upon Heaven (sama’an sama’an). And when he (completely) buries the nafs (ego) under the ground (tahta at tara), the heart reaches the throne” (past the last veil/field and sees the Arsh).

This is the universe we live and mans spirituality in it, so how is this the reason lies and delusions vanish?

Just like your thoughts are created from something, your lies and delusions are as well, every act your do in life has a subatomic life of its own, it impacts these fields and creates an influence on the universe, some acts good and bad are more powerful than others.

Just like these fields are layered throughout the universe so are Allah’s Angels existing every where they are, in fact Rasul Allah (saws) said there is no place in the universe Angels are not, they span the universe like these fields each 4 fingers in width.

So they to are layered, from our world to the Arsh which is the limit of their existence, their job is, as you act, to decide the nature of how your actions Impact the universe, Allah mentions this in the Quran:

Allah Said “O Adam, convey unto them (Angels) the names of these [things].” And as soon as [Adam] had conveyed unto them their names, [Allah] said: “Did I not say unto you (Angels), `Verily, I alone know the hidden reality (Laws/Nature) of the heavens and the earth, and know all that you bring into the open and all that you would conceal’?” (2:33)

Angels don’t sin so this is a reference to their work in the universe of bringing things forth into the world and taking them into ghayb, effectively concealing it, because ghayb is a place of veils/fields.

They deal with the effects of your actions as they pass through one field to the next, each Angel dealing with what is in his field of influence to deal with.

When You do something good the effects of your actions are raised up in the heavens by the Angels going through all the veils, this is how Allah multiplies the reward of your actions;

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً وَإِنْ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى أَضْعَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَإِنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً وَإِنْ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً

Verily, Allah has recorded good and bad deeds and He made them clear. Whoever intends to perform a good deed but does not do it, then Allah will record it as a complete good deed. If he intends to do it and does so, then Allah the Exalted will record it as ten good deeds up to seven hundred times as much or even more. If he intends to do a bad deed and does not do it, then Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it then Allah will record for him a single bad deed. (Muslim)

This is the impact of your actions on the Universe, Allah also explains this in the Quran, imagine how this simile looks with the particles of subatomic space:

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed which grows seven spikes, in each spike is a hundred grains (influencing a further number of particles). Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills, for Allah is vast and knowing.” (Al-Baqarah 2:261) Allah mentions His quality of vast because it relates to how vast these particle fields are, this is the nature of Tafsir in the Quran.

This is what Happens to actions Allah and the Mala’ikah like, they take it up and multiply it, but with evil, lies and delusions the Messenger of Allah (saws) said “If he intends to do a bad deed and does not do it, then Allah will record for him one complete good deed. If he does it then Allah will record for him a single bad deed.”

It’s effects and impact on the universe are minimised, the Angels refuse it and it stays on earth just as long as the force behind it persists, hence it does not last, it is not “remembered” and vanishes:

“Indeed falsehood, [by nature is], ever bound to vanish (from this universe).”

We may ask then why is this world filled with lies, delusions and false things? The answer is simple because man is repeatedly committing these acts, we now rule this world with them and this has imbalanced the entire system of the universe because fasad (corruption) is now persistent, Rasul Allah (saws) mentions the effects of fasad persisting with what happens to empires, but that is the basis of another tafsir, surah al Rahman.

“Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you deny?” (55:13)

Tafsir: Why The Soul Needs A Body To Learn

Aisha (ra)

Bismillahi rahmani Raheem, assalamu alaikum.

This is a subject Rasul Allah (saws) taught us, I first encountered it in the works of Imam Ghazali when he explained the punishment in the grave and it stayed with me for many years after until we received our answers from the prophet (saws).

Imam Ghazali explained that man will be “stuck” with his nature in the grave constantly being punished by what he lusted after in life, like a person fasting from something desires it but cannot have it his object of desire will torment him.

The Imam explained this occurs because the soul has left the body so the person is left with how he shaped his soul in life:

“by the soul and how He formed it and inspired it to know (its own) right and wrong (rebellion and piety), Truly he succeeds that purifies it, and the one who corrupts it fails.” (Surah Al Shams, 91)

Beyond this we learned from Imam Ibn Arabi who explained in the akhira development in Jannah is slower than on earth because in Jannah the soul is dominant while on earth the body is, it is the reason Allah placed man on earth and took his spiritual sight from him, so he can learn to see ghayb like a blind person would need to learn see the world around him with his other senses.

Hence Allah wanted us to develop our physical senses, so there is proper balance between the spiritual and physical parts of us, because in Jannah they are dominated by the spiritual ones but after this life they will be tempered by our earthly experiences and knowledge.

Rasul Allah (saws) explained to us that when the soul leaves the body its light by comparison to the human body is like it is almost withdrawn into itself, it does not stretch out to sense (the universe) and gather information as easily as it does in the human body whose light stretches out before it up to 10 feet away (the degree to which scientific instruments can measure).

Allah mentions this in the Quran;

“O you who believe! Turn to God in sincere and reforming repentance. It is hoped that your Lord will blot your evil deeds from you and admit you into Gardens through which rivers flow, on a Day when God will not disgrace nor disappoint the Prophet and those who believe in his company. Their light will shine and spread before them (the difference is on this day Allah has removed from you the Barzakh/veil stopping you from seeing it), and on their right hands, as they say: “Our Lord! Perfect our light, and forgive us. Surely You have full power over everything!”” (66:8)

The soul on its own is limited because while it is in the human body it is connected to the systems of our physiology and they amplify its abilities. In physics there is something called coherence of waves, this is how well information is passed on from one “light” to another, one electromagnetic field to another, in the body you have the light of soul, the light of the heart, the light of the brain and the light of the body itself.

These are all produced by the bodies nervous system in the brain, heart and body, on top of this the prophet (saws) explained in a hadith there is an inner most light inside the heart called the light of Harmony/Uns (responsible for tawheed or centering a person).

The light of the soul connects and uses all of these lights (electromagnetic fields) in the body to see the universe with, just like a mobile phone sends and receives signals from a mobile phone tower, it connects with these lights (senses) and receives and sends information from the body.

So when the soul leaves the body it no longer has the heart, brain and body to help it learn and develop.

“And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that haply ye might give thanks.” (16:78)
This is what Allah is referring to in this verse, its significance, spiritual creatures don’t have bodies like the human body and so their spiritual state of existence is dominant over their faculties.

This is what I was shown by Rasul Allah (saws); people departed from this world they can only learn by experiencing something directly and taking knowledge after events occurred (or as they are occurring), while a living person can hypothesis, think, propose, deduce, deduct and guess at outcomes and take knowledge from all of that because they are functions of the bodies systems and organs.

All of this is why the scholars said Angels have no Imagination they see what is, likewise those departed have no imagination and cannot use that faculty, Jinn on the other hand are creatures of Maskh, deception and delusion, but rather than it being based on their imagination, considering what you see from them, it is based on their lies and how that shapes their nature, the term “stuck in their lies” best describes this.

In all of this is an explanation of what Imam Ibn Arabi said about development in Jannah being slower in the Akhira, but then we will have the rest of eternity to learn what we like.

On the other hand Sayidinah Adam (as) had an enemy to contend with so Allah tested Him with the tree to see if it would focus and sharpen His (as) instincts, in the end it was not enough and it proved mankind would need more. Iblis only proved stronger because Adam |(as) was just born and had not developed on earth like Iblis had beforehand before Allah raised him into Jannah.

Criteria To Enter The Lowest Level Of The Lowest Hell

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum

Whenever Allah reveals something it means the people and Jinn of this world have earned it and Allah, through His Wali, is teaching His Mala’ikah what that thing looks like so it is properly defined in front of them and they can identify it and its people.

This morning Allah revealed to me the criteria for entering the lowest level of the lowest depth of hell, this is a place reserved for the lowest of low, the absolute worst in Allah’s creation.

They will receive their punishment from Isim Allah Al Azzim, Allah’s greatest name, His highest name that is most complete and so their punishment will be the most complete in every respect.

This is being revealed in our lifetime because the people of our lifetime deserve it, it is in our life time the world saw the worst oppression in its history, the fitnah of the Dajjal (Allah’s curse be upon him) will be the worst fitnah because it will drag people to Kufr, but in terms of actual oppression, what is happening now won’t be repeated again because between us and the Dajjal is Imam Mahdi (ra) who will spread justice as this oppression was spread and the light of that on earth means people will not reach the same standards of degeneracy or depravity again.

The Prophet (saws) said about his Fitnah: “Severe calamity from the direction of their ruler (Saddam Hussein) will befall my people during the Last Days (this is its start, the beginning of Kufar entering Islamic lands, it will continue for decades after Him). It will be a calamity which, in severity, shall be unprecedented (in earth’s history). It will be so violent that the earth with injustice and corruption (it will entirely be covered by these) will shrivel (become small) for its inhabitants (they will have no place to go because this fitnah will cover the entire world). The believers will not find refuge from oppression. At that time (this is relatively speaking, when it will end decades later) Allah will send a man from my family to fill the earth with justice (The fitnah began with Saddam but the oppression began on September the 11th and it will end when Imam Mahdi (as) appears to reverse it. This hadith is part of a number of other ahadith which is how we know the ruler is Saddam Hussein and what this is referring to)” (Ibn Hajar)

Allah in the Quran describes the people of the lowest hell as firewood for the fire, the people of the lowest depth in their punishment will be like firewood at its most hottest when all moisture is taken from the wood and it begins to crackle and then snap because of the heat, this is the description given to us by Rasul Allah (saws).

Consider this, the prophets Uncle Abu Lahab who an entire surah was revealed about Him and His wife calling him Abu Lahab, the father of (all) burning, will be released from punishment on Monday because He celebrated the Mawlid of Rasul Allah (saws).

The relentlessness of the punishment of these people by comparison will be far worse than him, it will not stop, it will be relentless and at speed, continuous, like something rushing to cover them entirely at every second and micro second of their existence.

We know this because this is the reality of Allah’s Ghawth (Helpers): Al-Harith ibn Malik al-Ansari (some chains have: al-Haritha ibn al-Na`man al-Ansari): He passed by the Prophet who asked him: “How are you this morning O Haritha?” He replied: “This morning I am a real believer.” The Prophet said: “Take care of what you say: what is the reality of your belief?” He said: “I have turned myself away from this world by keeping awake at night and by keeping myself thirsty by day; and I can almost see the Throne of my Lord in full sight; and I can see the people of the Garden of Paradise visiting each other; and I can almost see the people of the Fire wailing to each other in it (As if the Arsh, Heaven and Hell are on earth).” The Prophet said: “O Haritha, you do know: therefore cleave to it.” Some versions add: “This is a believer, Allah has illumined his heart” (mu’minun nawwara Allahu qalbah).

The people and Jinn who will earn this punishment from Allah, and once this was revealed to us by Allah the Mala’ikah left and identified all its people and Jinn the majority of whom are in our life time, are the people who in this life where relentless in chasing after the Muslims every day, hour and second of their lives in order to make them Kufar, Rasul Allah (saws) mentions their work in Ahadith:

Abu Hurairah said, The Prophet said, Woe to the Arabs from the great evil which is nearly approaching them: it will be like patches of dark night. A man will wake up as a believer, and be a kafir (unbeliever) by nightfall. People will sell their religion for a small amount of worldly goods. The one who clings to his religion on that day will be as one who is grasping an ember – or thorns. (Ahmad.)

Its people are the people responsible for this fitnah, their Jinn are predators always on the prowl hunting Muslims down, whenever they see an opening in their nafs they interject themselves therein, they continuously keep doing this until they cover the person entirely, and if they are ever defeated they return with others of their kind, with Jinn and help from their masters.

They chase after people with sihr surrounding Muslims from all sides so their spirituality comes only from under the control of their sihr and they block anything else from reaching them, from Allah, His Mala‘ikah or Ahl Al Ghayb, they deconstruct their lives, work, families and destroy them from the inside out from places within them beyond their capacity to perceive, so they leave Islam.

If a Muslim finds a way to defeat them they continue to chase them to the ends of the earth so a Muslim finds no place safe, again Rasul Allah (saws) mentioned this in Ahadith, they are relentless in their effort so Allah’s punishment will match theirs, Allah wrote this in the universe that every act will be repaid in kind, like for like:

“And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution.” (5:45)
You took pride in your relentlessness this is the punishment your actions created for you, had you minds that had foresight.

I am fulfilling my obligation to Rasul Allah (saws) in passing on His (saws) advice regarding this, He (saws) said: “Who ever wants freedom from this punishment, should move away from performing these actions”.

This is the nature of this life, it is not to late to free yourself from this fate/akhira, because these people for them Jahanam is eternal, they will not be released from it…death is the only thing that makes fate final, so stop what you are doing and leave these people.

Isa (as) Will Teach The Mala’ikah What They Are Missing

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Assalamu Alaikum

We have mentioned recently how Angels make mistakes while others of their kind correct them, foremost among these are the Angels of Babylon Harut wa Marut who taught man the occult as a test from themselves to man without Allah asking them to, today we are living the disastrous consequences of that mistake.

If you cannot see its magnitude then think about Pharaoh who ruled his empire through his sorcerers and what hardships the Nabi Musa (as) had to face in trying to save his foster farther from his fate, along with his foster mother Asiya from hers, she is one of the best women in Jannah but ultimately died at the hands of Pharaoh.

After this Musa (as) had to guide His people the Jews who ultimately took with them from Egypt some of that occult knowledge, today they call it Kabbalah.

Today sihr is much worse because we have uncovered the science of the universe, so in our time they can pin point what they want and go after it in a practical manner whereas before they had to make wild guesses about nature and the universe. The worst of this is the sihr they call necromancy, deriving power from the body of others, usually deliberate harm and malice is done to a victim to kill a part of their heart and character, like making a strong person feeble, so the sahir can acquire specific evil qualities in themselves, for example the eyes of a predator or the heart of one.

I am not teaching you something obscure it is the name of what they are doing and what they are all under. For many years Allah taught us how to see their sihr and witness what they are doing, but we could never see the larger picture until Rasul Allah (saws) came and gave it this exact name, Necromancy, these people are necromancers, at which point their aims and objectives became clear because we could put their efforts in a framework.

That is the power in naming things it destroys the mystery around it and their ability to use that power, so insha Allah understand why I am sharing this, my other intention is to put it in front of the people who use this that I know what is behind your attacks and Allah’s prophets are helping me against you.

Allah will never show compassion (حَنَانً) to these people, “Mercy is only removed from the miserable.” (Timidhi)

This issue has been in front of us all for 1400 years in Ahadith but we did not know its name, the Dajjal their leader (Allah’s curse be upon him) will achieve what they all have been working towards, the ability to resurrect the dead, that is the height of his power and the type of occult fitnah they are all involved in, using the human body to empower themselves.

That is the kind of proof a necromancer needs to believe and that is the kind of feat the Dajjal will do for them to prove his claims;

Abu Saeed (ra) narrated “One day Rasul Allah narrated to us a long narration about Ad-Dajjal and among the things he narrated to us was: ‘Ad-Dajjal will come, and he will be forbidden to enter the mountain passes of Madina. He will encamp in one of the salt areas neighbouring Madina and there will appear to him a man who will be the best or one of the best of people. He will say ‘I testify that you are Ad-Dajjal whose story Rasul Allah told us.’ Ad-Dajjal will say (to his audience), ‘Look, if I kill this man and then give him life, will you have any doubt about my claim? (of divinity)’ They will reply, ‘No.’ Then Ad-Dajjal will kill that man and bring him back to life. The man will say, ‘By Allah, now I recognize you more than ever!’ Ad-Dajjal will then try to kill him (again) but he will not be given the power to do so.” (Sahih Bukhari)

The reason you don’t see this is because there is a sihr upon these sahireen so they do not look upon it by this name and if they don’t see themselves you will never see it in them.

Such is their fate for their cruelty; “A woman was punished in the Hell-Fire because of a cat, which she imprisoned until it died. It was said to her, ‘You did not give it food nor drink whilst you imprisoned it, nor did you release it so that it might have eaten of the vermin that live in the earth.'”(Bukhari) this because of a cat so what of their necromancy.

These are all hardships and paths the lower Angels have taken man down upon by giving him power to act upon them, otherwise an image in your mind is just that an image only Allah and His angels can make it real and give it force to work in the universe, La hawla wala Quwata Ilah billah, that includes sihr.

Everything lives under the same rules that govern the universe, soul, nafs and man’s body, Jinn in their nature and existence are like mans desires while Angels are like his intellect, so Understand, your individual reality is the source of your power and Angels support you by seeing you as you see yourself, in this is a fitnah and in this is a great good.

In this is the power of the sahir and in this is the power of the wali but the wali ultimately commands the higher Angels of Allah in contrast to the lower Angels who respond to the sahir.

“AND LO! We said unto the angels, “Prostrate yourselves before Adam”-whereupon they all prostrated themselves.” (17:61)

“Behold! We said to the angels, “Bow down to Adam”: They (All) bowed down.” (18:50)

“And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate.” (7:11)

From this there is a hierarchy that exists in the universe relating to the kind of reality you live by, it starts with the deluded and insane and ends with Haq, absolute truth a reality capable of seeing Allah.

All we have said to you is a tafsir to the famous hadith of Allah “I am as my servant “THINKS” I am,” this is because you are responsible for shaping your reality in order to see Allah and it requires a reality that is absolute Haq to see Him.

The Prophet (saws) said, “Allah the Most High said, ‘I am as My servant thinks (expects) I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.’” (Bukhari)

Allah does not travel this is talking about your reality and you changing it, the traveling is man changing His reality to see Allah and Allah affirming what you consequently see in your nafs is Him.

Abdullah bin Mas’ud (ra) said: “By the One besides Who none is worthy of worship, the believer is not given anything good better than his good expectations of Allah, and by the One besides Who none is worthy of worship, no servant of Allah assumes good of Him except that Allah gives him what he expected, since all good is in His Hand.” [Husn adh-Dhann bi Allah]

This is true as He (ra) said it but wrong as you understand it, the qualifying remark is servant, a servant of Allah is needed and a servant of Allah sees by the religion (path) of Allah, this is not for the deluded, gambler or alcoholic.

If you have understood reality then understand what it means to say “they control the world” and subsequently manipulate and shape its reality from this hadith and how Allah will make them take responsibility for it all, such is Allah’s Haq:

Abu Musa (ra) related that Allah’s Messenger (saws) said: On the Day of Resurrection, my Ummah (nation) will be gathered into three groups (that will not enter hell), one sort will enter Paradise without rendering an account (of their deeds). Another sort will be reckoned an easy account and admitted into Paradise. Yet another sort will come bearing on their backs heaps of sins like great mountains (the Muslims of our time). Allah will ask the angels though He knows best about them: Who are these people? They will reply: They are humble slaves of yours (they still believe in you). He will say: Unload the sins from them and put the same over the Jews and Christians; then let the humble slaves get into Paradise by virtue of My Mercy. (This Hadith is sound and mentioned in the Mustadrak of Hakim).

When these people say they can give you a reality it means they will all agree to pretend something, only real work can give you a reality that is real.

The evil we live under today is all because the Angels could not understand the trust (Amana) Allah placed upon man (33:72), which is to learn the consequences of actions and be responsible for them, so they kept burdening man with knowledge like the occult not understanding man’s body and nafs have limits.

Man lives his life from an earthly (physical) perspective while Angels live their lives from a heavenly (subatomic) one, maters in the universe begin in the realm of Angels while their consequences appear in man’s realm, we have the capacity to understand both worlds the Angels do not, they are energy so how can they tire and be weak.

The end result of all reactions in the universe occurs here on earth, pressure and energy build up in the atmosphere and as a result of that subatomic event severe weather occurs on earth. Earth is the place to learn how to see this so Allah placed man here, the Angels then wondered why man kept on committing sin, until Allah sent down to earth two of them to live completely as men and they ultimately made the same mistakes as them because they did not understand man’s body, his physicality and physiology (how the universe will react to him).

Allah said He is going to place a khalifah on earth, His representative, and from them the Angels would learn so He asked them to prostrate, this was the place of the prophets and saints but now we are at the end of time and Allah is going to send to earth someone who will combine the reality of earth and the reality of Angels perfectly to show the Angels the complete picture of what Allah wanted and how they should be in regards to man.

Sayydidnah Isa (as) was born on earth and lived here for 33 years, He (as) gained knowledge, experience and Maarifah of life on earth then Allah raised him to live in Jannah for more than 2000 years, He (as) had the foundation that Sayyidinah Adam (as) never had who was born in Jannah then came to earth. Adam (as) was like someone newly born, lacking experience and perspective, while Isa (as) started here and continued His (as) life and spiritual growth in Jannah, and because this is also all of our perspectives, the life of Isa (as) more closely represents our reality than that of Sayyidniah Adam (as), so Allah will end everything with Him (as).

The Mala’ikah are Haq, unless you can speak to them with a similar Haq from yourself your words will not be worth what Allah placed in their reality, that is the only way to approach them, this is the tariqah of the prophets and saints in reaching them.

Sayyidinah Isa (as) will uniquely be the Haq of Earth and Jannah, and when the Angels see Him (as) on earth He (as) will be a teacher to them commanding the Maqam and reality of both places, He (as) will be the Qutb of earth and Jannah the absolute Qutb of the universe.

Rasul Allah (saws) was the first to achieve this and opened it up for creation;

“Indeed, in this [Quran] is notification for a worshiping people (In this Quran is a reality for people of who walk this path). And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds (Universe).” (Quran: 21:106-107)

Now man has had time to develop and understand the universe, Isa (as) will return and achieve its completion.

“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]He (as) will teach the Angels the most important lessons they need to learn to get it right because the entire world during His (as) time will be a Jannah, a place the Mala’ikah can look upon and visit freely and take sunnah from.

They are the ones behind the Baraka of Isa (as) when He (as) returns, they will all listen to Him and work to spread His (as) reality to everything on earth to free it from the reality of spiritual slavery the Dajjal and his people spread;

Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said, “The Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم delivered a speech to us, most of which dealt with the Dajjal (the Anti-Christ) and warned us against him. Umm Sharik bint Abi-‘Akr said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, where will the Arabs be at that time?’. The Prophet Mohammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “At that time they will be few in number; most of them will be in the Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem), and their Imam will be a righteous man. While their Imam is going forward to lead the people in the morning prayer, Isa (Jesus) son of Mary will descend. The Imam will step back, to let Jesus lead the people in prayer, but Jesus will place his hand between the man’s shoulders and say, ‘Go forward and lead the prayer, for the Iqamah was made for you.’ So the Imam will lead the people in prayer… Jesus son of Mary will be a just ruler and leader of my Ummah (Nation). He will break the cross, kill the pigs (outlaw raising pigs), and abolish the Jizya (tax on Christians & Jews). He will not collect the Sadaqa (charity), so he will not collect sheep and camels (for slaughter). Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will be able to put his hand into a snake’s mouth without being harmed, a small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The Earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will cease…” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)

It will be all the lower Angels of earth in the time of Isa (as) doing this work because they are in charge of these creatures while the higher Angels are in charge of larger issues.

The sunnah and reality with Isa (as) from both Jannah and earth will Help all the Mala’ikah in the Akhira, it will help them prepare Jannah for mankind without unbalancing Him (as) like it did sayyidinah Adam (as).

Now they have a better understanding of man and a perspective on both worlds the spiritual and physical.

It was in Jannah that Iblis tricked Adam and Hawa (as) into making the mistake, it was in front of the Mala’ikah who let it happen because they did not know where anything would lead, that is also a part of why Allah created the test for mankind and Jinn to manifest every “realistic” possible path in His knowledge, it is up to you which path (Tariqa) and reality you choose to live.

When Allah brought Adam (as) in front of them to show them His (as) abilities that placed responsibility on them for knowing Him (as).

Of the many mistakes Allah told us about regarding the Mala’ikah and the lessons they needed to learn from them, had they also gotten it right from the start that would have helped Adam and hawa (as) while Iblis was testing them, they would have manifested their Majesty through them both (as) and Iblis would not have thought his creation was superior to theirs.

Allah created the Mala’ikah to support His creation and that is their responsibility, they are not to blame because that is beyond the scope of their hands, but like us they need to learn and so Isa (as) will be the last teacher they will learn from before the Akhira.

Difference Between Prophets And Awliyah In The Universe

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum.

The prophets achieve qualities from Allah in a perfect way and because of this their Himma in the universe is reflected in an absolute manner by the Mala’ikah so when you connect to them spiritually you receive from something that is perfect in every respect, this is within reason as prophets make mistakes, this is also how prophets surpassed each other in various subjects, it was in relation to their perfection in it.

Rasul Allah (saws) surpassed all prophets (as) and so Allah forgave Him all of his future and past mistakes because Allah would use His (saws) Himma as Rahmatan Lil Alamin, as a spiritual Maqam that the entire universe can connect to at any point in time.

The Prophets are Human just like us, this is why other Humans who work at approaching Allah can achieve the same as them, the prophets where the first of mankind to achieve what was achieved and so they became messengers for the rest of mankind. The prophets (as) are the discoverers and the Awliyah copy them but it is in a less perfect way than the prophets, Awliyah can make mistakes and they can sin.

It is the same reason why the prophets and Mala’ikah repeatedly over the years, after achieving something, have said to me I am on the same heart as Sayyidinah Ibrahim (as), other Awliyah are on the same Heart as Sayyidinah Isa (as), or Dawwud (as) or Musa (as), the prophets are Imams to the Awliyah so their hearts are raised to achieve the same, this is only possible because the prophets Baraka is spread through the universe as a result of their lives.

The Prophets are Imams to the Mala’ikah of their time, who witness and mimic them and in doing so are able to spread their light in every later generation of Mankind.

Allah showed us the proof of the Baraka of the prophets in the universe when we learned to write the prophet Ibrahim’s name in Arabic, upon this one of the Mala’ikah came and elevated us in rank, we asked why He replied simply you have learned how the prophets name is spelt (in Arabic), when one of the Angels sees you do something related to one of the prophets of Allah they will come and reward you, we call the effects of this Baraka.

This is the Baraka attached with the prophets, it is the reason why people have a picture of the prophets sandals in their home, why the companions used to rush to collect the prophets hair, because Allah attached baraka with it that could change people’s lives and the Mala’ikah are charged with acting upon what they witness from people:

Imam Bukhari narrates in his Sahih in the Book of Clothing, under the chapter entitled “What is mentioned about gray hair,” that `Usman ibn `Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said: “My family sent me to Umm Salama with a cup of water. Umm Salama brought out a silver bottle which contained one of the hairs of the Prophet, and it used to be that if anyone came under the evil eye or ill health they used to send her a cup of water through which she would pass this hair (for drinking). We used to look into the silver bottle: I saw some reddish hairs.”
Anas said: “When the Prophet shaved his head (after pilgrimage), Abu Talha was the first one to take of his hair.” Bukhari.
Anas also said: “The Prophet threw stones at al-Jamra, then sacrificed, then told the barber to shave his head right side first, then began to give the hair away to the people.” Muslim.
He said: “Talha was the one distributing it.” Muslim, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud.
He also said: “When the Prophet shaved his head in Mina, he gave me the hair from the right side and he said: Anas! take it to Umm Sulaym [his mother]. When the Companions saw what the Prophet gave us, they began to compete to take the hair from the left side, and everyone was getting a share from that.” Ahmad narrated it.
Ibn al-Sakan narrated through Safwan ibn Hubayra from the latter’s father: Thabit al-Bunani said: Anas ibn Malik said to me (on his death-bed): “This is one of the hairs of Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings and peace upon him. I want you to place it under my tongue.” Thabit continued: I placed it under his tongue, and he was buried with it under his tongue.”
Abu Bakr said: “I saw Khalid [ibn Walid] asking for the Prophet’s forelock and he received it. He used to put it over his eyes and then kiss it.” It is known that he then placed it in his qalansuwa (head cover around which the turban is tied) and never faced battle again except he won. al-Waqidi (Maghazi), Ibn Hajar (Isaba). Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani relates that Imam Malik said: “Khalid ibn al-Walid owned a qalansiyya which contained some of the Prophet’s hair, and that is the one he wore the day of the battle of Yarmuk.
Ibn Sirin (one of the tabi`in) said: “One hair of the Prophet in my possession is more precious to me than silver and gold and everything that is on the earth and everything that is inside it.” Bukhari, Bayhaqi (Sunan kubra), and Ahmad.
In Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 72, Number 784: `Uthman bin `Abd Allah ibn Mawhab said, “My people sent me with a bowl of water to Umm Salama.” Isra’il approximated three fingers indicating the small size of the container in which there was some hair of the Prophet. `Uthman added, “If any person suffered from evil eye or some other disease, he would send a vessel (containing water) to Umm Salama (and she would dip the Prophet’s hair into it and it would be drunk). I looked into the container (that held the hair of the Prophet) and saw a few reddish hairs in it.”
Hafiz Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Bari, Volume 10, page 353, said: “They used to call the silver bottle in which the hair of the Prophet was kept jiljalan and that bottle was in the home of Umm Salama.” Hafiz al-`Ayni said in `Umdat al-Qari, Volume 18, page 79: “Umm Salama had some of the hairs of the Prophet in a silver bottle. When some people got ill, they would go and obtain blessings from these hairs and they would be healed by means of their blessings. If a person were struck by the evil eye or any sickness, he would send his wife to Umm Salama with a mikhdaba or water-pail, and she would pass the hair through that water and then drink the water and he would be healed, after which they would return the hair to the jiljal.”
Imam Ahmad narrates in his Musnad (4:42) from `Abd Allah ibn Zayd ibn `Abd Rabbih with a sound (sahih) chain as stated by Haythami in Majma` al-zawa’id (3:19) that the Prophet clipped his nails and distributed them among the people.

“Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things.” (67:1) Blessings are in the hands of the one who controls the Universe and He is able to give it to whomever He wants.

The Path Of Wilaya

The Prophet Muhammad (saws) prayed here in Taif.

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum.

Abu Yazid Al Bistami (ra) said, “I was twelve years the blacksmith of my self, and five years the polisher of the mirror of my heart, and for one year I was looking in that mirror and I saw on my belly the girdle of unbelief. I tried hard to cut it and I spent twelve years in that effort. Then I looked in that mirror and I saw inside my body that girdle. I spent five years cutting it. Then I spent one year looking at what I had done. And Allah opened for me the vision of all creations. And I saw all of them dead. And I prayed four takbiras of janaza (funeral prayer) over them.”

He also said: “If the Throne and what is around it and what is in it were placed in the corner of the heart of a Knower, they would be lost completely inside it.”

I am writing the following primarily for people in the Naqshbandi Tariqah, it will make the most sense to them because they are aware of these things.

When Allah takes a person as His wali He begins by removing them from this world over time until they are completely detached from it, in this way after many years Allah revealed to us recently, that we achieved what nabi Sulaiman (as) achieved in detachment, which Allah taught to the Ummah in the Quran, it was something we had been praying for and working towards for many years:

“Then he said: “Bring them (horses) back to me.” Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks. Al-Hasan Al-Basri said, “He said, `No, by Allah, you will not keep me from worshipping my Lord again.”

Allah then dresses His wali with what He wants to dress Him with and reveals to Him His final place in this life and the Akhira, afterwards, Allah then brings them back into this world so they can be amongst people.

The following is from my Maarifah of this, from what Allah revealed to me at the end of the path/tariqah.

Allah says in the Quran: “Truly, We did offer Al Amanah (the trust or moral responsibility) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it (being responsible for it). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results).” (33:72)

Allah in this creation has only revealed a small portion of His reality to it, enough for us to begin to know Him, in the above verse Allah tells us the universe is not good enough to carry His responsibility, but man carried it.

Man is the only one to know it, not even the Angels will know it who were not asked by Allah, the Mala’ikah are responsible for carrying out the consequences to actions in the universe but they do not live or experience those consequence’s themselves.

Only creatures who are being judged have some portion of the Amana upon them and of them man is the only one created in Allah’s image, the only one capable of knowing the responsibility for all actions properly and from that Know Allah properly.

The universe declined the Amana, trust, responsibility for actions because it knew it would allow anything to occur in it and be unable to account for any of it, so it feared what Allah asked it.

Allah asked it because like Man is was created in His image, the universe is created to be His image so Allah could be seen, the universe has capacity to carry the trust but it couldn’t.

The aim of creation is to know Allah, because of this fear of the universe Allah can only be known in this life to a small extent. The aim of the Akhirah is to know Allah properly, on the day of Judgment Allah will start this by revealing of Himself up to the shin, this is analogy for how much of the whole Allah will reveal, the aim though is to see Allah’s face.

That will happen over time and for it to happen the universe of the Akhira will not be like the universe of our time, in the Akhira the universe must be able to carry the trust, Amannah, responsibility like man so it can reveal Allah with Haq for man.

Recently we wrote about why man must experience life even though Allah knows Him:

“Allah knows you but you need to show what you are to everything else Allah created so you can exist with it, with Haq. Allah is Allah because His qualities exist in the universe with Haq, He deserves them and you can test them if you wished (to see if they are real), we need to also “deserve” our qualities in existence as well. How will the Mala’ikah know how to see you, treat you, if they do not witness what you are. If Allah simply told them that is Iman on their part, not haq so you would be missing a part of reality in you because you have not “deserved” your qualities.”

Allah will not ask less of the universe than us, it must be able to know the face of Allah with haq so it is able to show it with Haq.

In the next life it will be a more developed universe than this simple one, man can not travel on this journey if the first step he takes has no Yaqeen in it, if the Iman he gives is not on solid ground, so the universe can not avoid the trust Allah asked it to bear in this life.

The universe was afraid in this life because Allah’s creations sinned and it could not account for these crimes which it allowed to occur. In the next life the people of Sin will be locked up in Jahanam which no one will be able to escape, so the universe will be safe from crimes being committed in it, from creatures being able to corrupt its Mizan, balance, so it will have Iman and salam.

Because of that Man will have the certainty, Yaqeen, He needs, that nothing will manipulate His reality ever again (like sihr), in order to take this Journey to Allah.

“Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them – the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a (small) needle (Until a man is able to escape the inescapable gravity of a black hole, this is what that analogy refers to). And thus do We recompense the criminals.” (7:40)

Rasul Allah (saws) reached Sidrat al muntaha, the furthest limit and his heart was tested inside Jannah, if Jannah is what think it is the prophet’s heart would not have been tested, it would have been impossible for Iblis to rebel and for Adam to forget Allah and make the mistake.

These are all signs that the universe is capable taking man to where he needs to be to see the higher realities of Allah, they are all sings the step mans needs to take is not on firm ground, there is no Yaqeen in it, Rasul Allah (saws) reached the distance of two bows length carrying the burden of the universes nature, He (saws) reached it despite its inability to be Yaqeen in itself.

Then he approached and came closer, And was at a distance of but two bow-lengths or (even) nearer; So did (Allah) convey the inspiration to His Servant- (conveyed) what He (meant) to convey. The (Prophet’s) (mind and) heart in no way falsified that which he saw. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he saw?

For indeed he saw him at a second descent, Near the Lote-tree beyond which none may pass: Near it is the Garden of Abode. Behold, the Lote-tree was shrouded (veiled in a veil of nameless splendour….Here the prophets heart was tested with the splendours of the universe…and)

(His inner) sight never swerved (from the path of Allah), nor did it go wrong! (Even in Jannah)

For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! (53:8-18)

You can understand this reality by understanding the following, in the akhira a woman who does not love her husband more than everything else in Jannah is not married, I heard Rasul Allah (saws) say ‘people of the lowest Jannah will struggle with this’.

Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri Narrated:

We said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?” He said, “Do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon when the sky is clear?” We said, “No.” He said, “So you will have no difficulty in seeing your Lord on that Day as you have no difficulty in seeing the sun and the moon (in a clear sky).” The Prophet then said, “Somebody will then announce, ‘Let every nation follow what they used to worship.’ So the companions of the cross will go with their cross, and the idolators (will go) with their idols, and the companions of every god (false deities) (will go) with their god, till there remain those who used to worship Allah, both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, and some of the people of the Scripture. Then Hell will be presented to them as if it were a mirage. Then it will be said to the Jews, “What did you use to worship?’ They will reply, ‘We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.’ It will be said to them, ‘You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What do you want (now)?’ They will reply, ‘We want You to provide us with water.’ Then it will be said to them ‘Drink,’ and they will fall down in Hell (instead).

Then it will be said to the Christians, ‘What did you use to worship?’ They will reply, ‘We used to worship Messiah, the son of Allah.’ It will be said, ‘You are liars, for Allah has neither a wife nor a son. What: do you want (now)?’ They will say, ‘We want You to provide us with water.’ It will be said to them, ‘Drink,’ and they will fall down in Hell (instead). When there remain only those who used to worship Allah (Alone), both the obedient ones and the mischievous ones, it will be said to them, ‘What keeps you here when all the people have gone?’ They will say, ‘We parted with them (in the world) when we were in greater need of them than we are today, we heard the call of one proclaiming, ‘Let every nation follow what they used to worship,’ and now we are waiting for our Lord.’ Then the Almighty will come to them in a shape other than the one which they saw the first time, and He will say, ‘I am your Lord,’ and they will say, ‘You are not our Lord.’ And none will speak: to Him then but the Prophets, and then it will be said to them, ‘Do you know any sign by which you can recognize Him?’ They will say. ‘The Shin,’ and so Allah will then uncover His Shin whereupon every believer will prostrate before Him and there will remain those who used to prostrate before Him just for showing off and for gaining good reputation. These people will try to prostrate but their backs will be rigid like one piece of a wood (and they will not be able to prostrate). Then the bridge will be laid across Hell.” We, the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What is the bridge?’

He said, “It is a slippery (bridge) on which there are clamps and (Hooks like) a thorny seed that is wide at one side and narrow at the other and has thorns with bent ends. Such a thorny seed is found in Najd and is called As-Sa’dan. Some of the believers will cross the bridge as quickly as the wink of an eye, some others as quick as lightning, a strong wind, fast horses or she-camels. So some will be safe without any harm; some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell (Fire). The last person will cross by being dragged (over the bridge).” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You (Muslims) cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right that has been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in interceding with the Almighty for their (Muslim) brothers on that Day, when they see themselves safe.

They will say, ‘O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with us.’ Allah will say, ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one (gold) Dinar.’ Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. They will go to them and find some of them in Hell (Fire) up to their feet, and some up to the middle of their legs. So they will take out those whom they will recognize and then they will return, and Allah will say (to them), ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of one half Dinar.’ They will take out whomever they will recognize and return, and then Allah will say, ‘Go and take out (of Hell) anyone in whose heart you find faith equal to the weight of a particle, and so they will take out all those whom they will recognize.” Abu Sa’id said: If you do not believe me then read the Holy Verse:–

‘Surely! Allah wrongs not even of the weight of a particle but if there is any good (done) He doubles it.’ (4.40) The Prophet added, “Then the prophets and Angels and the believers will intercede, and (last of all) the Almighty (Allah) will say, ‘Now remains My Intercession. He will then hold a handful of the Fire from which He will take out some people whose bodies have been burnt, and they will be thrown into a river at the entrance of Paradise, called the water of life.

They will grow on its banks, as a seed carried by the torrent grows. You have noticed how it grows beside a rock or beside a tree, and how the side facing the sun is usually green while the side facing the shade is white. Those people will come out (of the River of Life) like pearls, and they will have (golden) necklaces, and then they will enter Paradise whereupon the people of Paradise will say, ‘These are the people emancipated by the Beneficent. He has admitted them into Paradise without them having done any good deeds and without sending forth any good (for themselves).’ Then it will be said to them, ‘For you is what you have seen and its equivalent as well.'” (Bukhari)

“[And this will be] a reward for what they did [in life]. No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace.” (56:24-26)

Why Iman Speeds Ahead Of Fate

Bismillahi rahmani raheem, assalamu alaikum.

Rasul Allah (saws) said nothing changes fate like dua, it races ahead of it and changes it when it is accepted by Allah.

Dua comes from Iman and the quality of the dua is according to your Iman, or the unique thing (conditions) that is in your heart if Allah accepts the dua of a person whose Iman is low.

All of this relates to the fact Allah is not bound by time and time only exists in the universe, the universe exists in such a way to represent Allah’s will but not His being, only an image of that exists in the universe and that is man, you will only understand the how of it by understanding man in relation to the nature of Allah’s other intelligent creatures who were not given this.

Your Iman is your connection to Allah it acts like something that places you in front of Allah at that moment in time, which can only be done if time is removed from the equation, Allah teaches us this in the Quran:

“And indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein.” (Quran 50:16)

What Allah is referring to here is the fact the Arsh is closer to you than your Jugular vein because subatomic space and the stuff everything is made of is closer to you then the external parts of your own body. Fate has to work on the entire universe to bring anything about while your dua only has to travel the distance of the light of your heart to the light of the Arsh, a distance covered by what is within the Atom.

So while fate takes its time to occur according to asbab, causes, that run the universe, your Iman and dua take you directly to Allah bypassing everything, it is faster than the speed of light, faster than the speed of thought it occurs in almost no time.

So nothing can change fate like dua can.

What Really Happens When You Think About Allah

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum.

When you think about Allah you make subtle connections with Him, with who He is, with what He created so He is known, with everything in the universe.

This occurs at a level you can never perceive and His particles facilitate this, it is in physics and because of it Allah said in the Quran “Allah is the light (particles) of the heavens and earth” (24:35) when you sense Him you sense them.

So, when you think about Allah that increases your awareness of everything around you and that is how man comes to know the universe, everyone according to His capacity to take in what Allah has created which is why Allah says to each prophet when He grants him prophethood, we expanded your breast, the vessel that is filling with our light.

This is why people who are aware of Allah are marked by understanding, wisdom, breadth of knowledge, acceptance and forbearance, while those who turn away from Allah, Allah turns away from them (Quran) and so they are marked by ignorance, lack of awareness, understanding or comprehension and breadth, for all but a few things in life that involve them.

The human body can only know what is created, what is inside the universe, so the human body’s ability to make these connections with everything is what we call seeing Allah, Allah says He IS something a handful of times, once regarding the particles of the universe and the other is Time, “I am Time”, “in my Hand is the night and day”, Allah is the light of the universe, the passing of time and His hand is the forces of the Universe that move things, “and if I willed, I could seize them both”.

To see Allah you have to know all these things be connected to all of it, that is, first seeing His signs in the universe, then seeing His hand in things, then finally seeing Him, His light, all of this occurs as Allah expands your breast.

Allah explains this in the hadith Qudsi where He says:

ما وسعني أرضي ولا سمائي، ووسعني قلب عبدي المؤمن…

“Neither My Earth nor My Heavens could contain Me, whilst the heart of My believing servant does contain Me (know me)…”

For the heart to be able to encompass Allah it has to be able to encompass the entire universe in its senses (another word for making spiritual connections), this hadith shows Allah created the physics for the heart to achieve this, achieve seeing Him.

The responsibility of the soul is to grab whatever it can of understanding from the universe, with its light, the heart is the window to the soul hence this is described as a function of the heart while it is the soul doing all of this.

It makes no difference if this hadith is complete or not, if you remember my explanation about the heart and the nature of fear…or my statement about surpassing the Dajjal and being able to describe him as a consequence…the heart cannot know anything properly until it is able to encompass it, and certainly prophets and Awliyah saw Allah in this life.

This is the job of the Arsh, the deepest subatomic layer created from the smallest particles in the universe, which is the boundary of space.

It has been related on the authority of Wahb ibn Munabba that “Allah created the Throne from His light, and the Footstool was affixed to the Throne. The Primordial Water was within the Footstool upon the back of strong wind (a simile for sub atomic layer’s the prophet (saws) mentions often in ahadith). The Throne has tongues (another simile) equal to the number of all created things, with which It glorifies Allah and remembers Him.”

Each created thing is connected to Allah by the Arsh’s glorification of Him, while the Arsh itself is the thing Allah istawa upon, established His reality upon, after which Allah connected all things to it so it can know Him.

The Arsh is Allah’s reality in the universe and just like Allah is aware of all things at the same time, so is the Arsh its purpose is to make those “physical” connections, as a person travels on the path of Wilaya and lowers his esteem of himself, loses his nafs and ego, his heart is raised in worth until it reaches the Arsh and begins taking from it directly, begins taking from the reality of Allah directly.

At the end of this Journey this occurs and the wali is able to use what Allah has in His hand, the universe: Allah Most High says: “He who is hostile to a friend of Mine I declare war against. My slave approaches Me (His heart approaches the Arsh) with nothing more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My slave keeps drawing nearer to Me with voluntary works until I love him. And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears (He hears what Allah hears), his sight with which he sees (He sees what Allah sees), his hand with which he seizes (He uses the forces of the universe), and his foot with which he walks (He walks the paths of Allah). If he asks me, I will surely give to him (All things are open to Him), and if he seeks refuge in Me, I will surely protect him” (Fath al-Bari, 11.34041, hadith 6502); (Imam Bukhari, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Bayhaqi, and others with multiple chains of transmission, and is sahih.)

One Of The Punishments Of Jahanam

This is the Maqam of Sayidinah Bilal (ra)

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem, Assalamu Alaikum

Rasul Allah (saws) said to me “nothing balances the scales like death”, what you will see in the following video is one of the punishments of Jahanam that will satisfy the scales.

“Anyone who disregards the message of the Most Gracious, we appoint a devil to be his constant companion.” [Quran 43:36]

It will be done to People and Jinn who have committed crimes of the same nature and caliber as Iblis’s defiance to Allah when He swore while speaking to Him, that he would take as many people to hell with him as he could.

“I swear by Your majesty, that I will send them all astray. Except Your worshipers who are devoted absolutely to You alone.” [Quran 38:82-83]

It will be done to People and Jinn who do sihr on the Prophets, Mala’ikah, Awliyah of Allah, like myself or Imam Mahdi (ra), it will be done to people who deliberately corrupt people, taking them from religion to fitnah, to people who take a person from Iman to Kufr in a single day.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: Be prompt in doing good deeds (before you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be like a part of the dark night (an extended period of darkness). During (that stormy period) a man would be a Muslim in the morning and an unbeliever in the evening or he would be a believer in the evening and an unbeliever in the morning, and would sell his faith for worldly goods.” (Muslim)

This is the era when it will not be possible to do good on earth, our time.

“Do you not see how we unleash the devils upon the disbelievers to stir them up?” [Quran 19:83]

“They give money to charity only to show off, while disbelieving in Allah and the Last Day. If one’s companion is the devil, that is the worst companion.” [Quran 4:38]

The nature of their rebellion is a fassad that defied everything Allah created and intended, and so Allah will give them a punishment that will crush them right down to the space between their atoms, to the space between the particles their atoms are created from, until their Mass is almost unimaginable, and when Allah brings them back to life, because there is no death in the next life, they will live from then on with persistent pressure, a heavy force, on their backs like the dense weight and feel of steel is on them and in their bones.

“Such companions will divert them from the path, yet make them believe that they are guided.” [Quran 43:37]

This punishment is what occurs to a Sun before a black hole is created, it is not even the end of the process, Understand, this is easy for the Mala’ikah of Jahanam to do because a greater force exists inside a black hole, the force that created it, which is the power of those Mala’ikah.

It will be done to Iblis to crush His ego and it will be done to his people, don’t die one of them because nothing of you will remain after this punishment. If Mala’ikat Jahanm had not shown me this is what balances the scales for such rebellion I wouldn’t write it.

“Woe to every fault-finding backbiter, who amasses riches, counting them over, thinking they will make him live for ever. (“and would sell his faith for worldly goods”)

No indeed! He will be thrust into the Crusher!”

“What will explain to you what the Crusher is?”

“The fire of Allah, kindled, (the forces of the Universe kindled, at their most extreme.)”

“Which rises over people’s hearts. It (Hell/the Black Hole) closes in on them (creating) towering columns.” (the Jets of a black hole as it crushes the atoms of planets and the particles in them creates columns of energy like a nuclear explosion). (104:1-9)

“Some He guided, while others are committed to straying. They have taken the devils as their masters, instead of God, yet they believe that they are guided.” [Quran 7:30]

“Say, “Shall I tell you who the worst losers are? They are the ones whose works in this life are totally astray, but they think that they are doing good.” [Quran 18:103-104]

Shaykh Rami Al Rifai.

“It closes in on them in towering columns”, how can columns close in on them, because the columns of energy result from the pressure/force of a black hole crushing matter, like letting of steam after pressure builds up.
