Question:
Assalmualikum
Dear Eshaykh,
We understand that Sultan Awliya is leaving for Hajj this coming Nov and that in the near future Muharram which is in Dec, Istanbul will have a huge earthquake. This is part of the 3 signs. As the last sign mention by Shaykh hisham was to panic when we see Maulana leaving. Is it time to panic as he is leaving Cyprus ?? Kindly advise us. Pls pray for all of us.
Answer:
wa ‘alaykum salam,
The way of our masters is not to make us panic; rather to make us prepare for the inevitable. Ultimately the lesson is that death is lying in wait for each one of us, after which is the judgment before our Lord swt.
As they have taught us, when Sayyidina Mahdi (as) arrives, believers will be gathered with him in Sham, insha-Allah. As for Sultan al-Awliya going for hajj, he did not go in body. As for an earthquake in Istanbul, what Grandshaykh `Abdullah al-Fa’iz ad-Daghestani (q) predicted was the explosion of a great volcano in Bursa, the flooding of Cairo to a great depth and the sinking of Cyprus. As Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani said, “When you see Mawlana Shaykh’s sons leave, that is the sign to move.”
See “Days of Peace” for more details.
