Question:
AOA,
I saw the Imam madhi video on sufilive about the dua of aytul kursi.
I am still not clear on the details of this dua.
The person who is speaking in the video speaks in a vague manner.
First he talks about Mawlana’s dream then he changes his story at the end of the video talking about dua. I dont see how the dream and the dua are interconnected.
It looks like the person is talking about 3 different things.
Like I want to know the who, what, when, where of the dua.
Answer:
To understand the suhbat you need to be familiar with Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani’s way of speaking. He is relating here from Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani what happened to him on Laylat al-Qadr, and connecting it with what happened to himself, Shaykh Hisham, here in America on that same night. Shaykh Hisham was inspired to recite the names of the khulafa Sayyidina al-Mahdi and the 9 Shuyukh al-Islam. The same night, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani experienced the vision where he was in the presence of the Prophet (s):
And where the Prophet (s) said, as Mawlana Shaykh is saying, “O my son! Ya waladee, we have dressed you dresses that have not been dressed before. It is for that time, these dresses (as every century has its own dress). We have dressed you with a dress that can protect you and your followers from intiqaamallah, Allah’s revenge on dunya. He said, “Punishment is coming. There is no more any place left that is safe on earth. Not one president or king or leader can stop what is going to happen. It is out hand. Now everything is in the hands of awliyaullah and we are dressing you that to …carry that responsibility following in footsteps of Mahdi (as).
And Mawlana Shaykh Nazim as soon as that was said, he saw all the khulafa of Mahdi (as) and all his deputies came in, one by one.
And Mawlana Shaykh Nazim as soon as that was said, he saw all the khulafa of Mahdi (as) and all his deputies came in, one by one.
At that night here [in Burton, Michigan], those who were here, I don’t know, I was aware of all that we have done and we prayed taraweeh and Salat ash-Shukr and Salaat at-Tasbeeh, and then it came to my heart to recite the names of Khulafa al-Mahdi (as). That is what came to my heart and …
Mawlana is giving that for public information to people in order to get those names out. And so he was inspiring us to read those names and names of Shaykhu ‘l-Islam, there are nine. And I didn’t know he had passed out at that time. So when he passed out then Allah dressed him with the meaning and dress of the hadith of the Prophet (s) laa darara wa laa diraara fi’l-Islam, “There is no harm and no retaliation in Islam.”
It means if someone makes darara for you, harms you, you cannot go and blow up someone else. So that means there is no harm and you cannot harm any others so he was dressed with that dressed and all 40 caliphas, who tries to make darara to anyone, to any person, it is not going to be accepted and they are going to get revenge from them and if someone goes and retaliates against innocent people for some harm done they are going to be… and that is why he said it is out of hand. It is in hand of awliyaullah and not in hands of leaders or kings or presidents. It is in hands of the Prophet (s), what he tells them they execute that order. And to follow orders they don’t need anything, no weapons, no knife not even a stick. They only send signals to the heart and they can reach anyone. And he said, “From that tajalli,” and he called it a name, that tajalli, he said, “I am dressing all my followers with tajalli hifzh, the manifestation of protection, and they will be protected,.” And he said, “Anyone who is speaking today, if he is on haqq, and he is from haqq he will follow the Naqshbandi Way and anyone other than that there will be no other tariqat than Naqshbandi and Sayyidina al-Mahdi is Naqshbandi. Because it is the way of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq:
إ إِلاَّ تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ثَانِيَ اثْنَيْنِ إِذْ هُمَا فِي الْغَارِ إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَاحِبِهِ لاَ تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنزَلَ اللّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَجَعَلَ كَلِمَةَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ السُّفْلَى وَكَلِمَةُ اللّهِ هِيَ الْعُلْيَا وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Illaa tansuroohu faqad nasarahu Allahu ith akhrajahu alladheena kafaroo thaaniya ithnayni idh humaa fi ’l-ghaari idh yaqoolu li-saahibihi laa tahzan inna Allaha ma`ana fa-anzala ’Llahu sakeenatahu `alayhi wa ayyadahu bi-junoodin lam tarawhaa wa ja`ala kalimata alladheena kafaroo as-suflaa wa kalimatu llahi hiya al-`ulyaa w ’Allahu `azeezun hakeem
{If ye help not (your leader), (it is no matter): for Allah did indeed help him, when the Unbelievers drove him out: he had no more than one companion; they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion, “Have no fear, for Allah is with us”: then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights: for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise.} (Surat at-Tawbah, 9:40)
He said Allah is with us where he is the companion of the Prophet (s) and the companion of the Prophet (s) today is Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) and the Companions of al-Mahdi (as) are his ministers and that is Mawlana Shaykh who is one of them. They are executing these orders so protection has been dressed. And he said it is not because of the name Naqshbandi, but it is because of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq who is friend of the Prophet (s) and he is as-Saadiq, he got the level of Siddiq, and no one else got that level. And Sayyidina al-Mahdi (as) is inheriting these secrets from Abu Bakr as-Siddiq. He was first calipha of the Prophet (s) and in the last century on earth, Sayyidina al-Mahdi is calipha of the Prophet (s) on earth now. That is why he is called as-Siddiqu ’l-Asghar. Although he is grandson of the Prophet (s). There is Siddiq al-Akbar who is Sayyidina Abu Bakr, and as-Siddiqu ’l-Asghar. He is not junior or asghar in meaning of lesser but he is asghar in the symbolic sense that he is coming in this time. Since he is grandson of the Prophet (s), but he is considered the junior Siddiq, and that authority was given this year Laylat al-Qadr to raise the voice on 27th of Ramadan for takbir, to say Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. And as he was seeing this vision Mawlana Shaykh was seeing it opened and he was seeing that Laylat al-Qadr was shining and he was making munajaat and no one can understand that except awliyaullah and Mahdi and the Prophet (s).
And he said, “This is good tidings for all that are following me, and this is the time of trading and the best trade today is sadaqa. It is to give fee sabeelillah, and the best form is to give from wealth, it will not be rewarded 7 times or 10 times or 700 times as is mentioned, your reward will be raised, But it will be rewarded with no limits. Anyone giving in the way of Allah it will be rewarded with no limits. And he said the most productive and the most accepted form of sadaqa is what people can do to spread the Naqshbandi tariqah. If anyone can spread that teaching through any kind of media, books, or tapes, or TV or radio, or whatever, then he will be written among the Siddiqeen, as those mentioned:
مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاء وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَـئِكَ رَفِيقًا
Wa man yuti`illaha wa ’r-rasoola fa oolaaika ma`a alladheena an`ama Allahu `alayhim mina ’n-nabiyyeena wa ’s-siddeeqeena wa ’sh-shuhadaa’i wa ’s-saaliheena wa hasuna oolaaika rafeeqa
{All who obey Allah and the apostle are in the company of those on whom is the Grace of Allah,- of the prophets (who teach), the sincere (lovers of Truth), the witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good): Ah! what a beautiful fellowship!} (Surat an-Nisaa, 4:69)
He will be from that kind of people who will be with the Prophet (s) on Judgment Day. May Allah forgive us and support us.
Then he ordered me to give that du`a and it reads: a`oodhu billah mina ‘sh-shaytani ‘r-rajeem Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem, this is du`a Ayat al-Kursi…
