Oh
path followers! Love is not easy
[Oh,
path followers! Love is not easy
You
have been guided to your path, so
straighten up]
12/7
On those
days after the Hawliya of The
two Honorable Imams:
Mawlana Imam Fakhreddin and Mawlana Imam
Ibrahim [AAT],
so we remain in that
spiritual scented memory and what was
emanated from it of gifts and signs.
One of the most prominent and important thing in that
anniversary was its Motto,
which was [Hearts enclose me know love
as a path].
We have touched on this subject in a
previous issue in an article about the Motto of this anniversary.
And for avoiding the repetition and lengthening,
anyone who wants to read it can
be looked up in
the published article in
alMagalla bulletins on April 2, 2011.
Also we have
read the speech of love and brotherhood of Mawlana
sheikh Mohamed
on the evening of Wednesday
the 6th April
2011, so it had to be our
point of interest in our speech and doing.
There is a great in the poetry
of sayydi Fakhreddin [AAH]
where we can
find his blessed gifts and
bundled giving, as he
[AAH]
says:
[Oh
path's followers! Love is not easy
You
have been guided your path, so straighten up]
12/7
 He
[AAH]
talks to the advancing path followers,
the approaching ones to
Allah, Almighty, saying
"Love is not an easy purpose, you have been guided
to your path,
so straighten up. So what is the relation between
the love and the
straight path?
We can read attentively
in the speech of
our sheikh [AAH]
that we will discuss and learn from
not just this year, but that speech is
suitable for all
times and places.
We should read
and examine the
verse which Mawlana cited at the beggining of his curing
speech which was joining for the people
and putting affection between their
hearts, as Allah said [O, Ye
believers, Whoever
from among you apostatize from
his religion, Allah will produce people
whom He will love as they will love Him, humble towards the
believers and mighty
towards the disbelievers. They will
strive for the sake of Allah and will not be afraid of the blaming
of any blamer. That is the Grace of Allah
Who bestows
it on whom He wills.
For Allah is the
All-Embracing
the All-Knowner]
al-Ma'idah
5:54.
He [AAH]
started the verse from the
part [Allah will produce people whom
He will love as they will love Him],
as he [AAH],
who inherited the devine
mercy, didn't
want to speak about
apostasy,
although it did happened and
was over. We ask
to Allah, Almighty, by the blessing of our sheikh
to save us from it. However our
sheikh [AAH]
brought us the good tiding of the
beggining of age of love.
The same thing happened
last year when he [AAH]
presaged to us in his speech,
at the same time of this anniversary
in the month of April,
saying at the beggining of his speech [Such
days, We cause to
vicissitude between people by turns]
Aal-Imran
3:140,
and look what is happening in our world
now and before Mawlana's
speech this year.
Therefore, we must take
the speech of
those who have
insight seriously and with an intense
attention. And so, with Allah's
will, the Almighty, this year will
be the beginning of age of love among the
path followers and we hope also it will be among Islamic
and Arabian world
and between the Muslims and
the Christians.
We also hope
that the social justice and the
truth, will prevail
in the world. That
truth that he [AAH]
talked about last year when he said:
"But
the common sense refuses the injustice and refuses
ripping others off
their rights,
whether it was money, soul or body. Also it refuses the
aggression on others bodily or morally,
whether by force or by tricks. This is a
circle with a
fixed centre and we
call it Humanity".
When
he [AAH]
wanted to extinguish the sectarian
strife and fortify his
followers against
it, before it happens,
he [AAH]
said
 [Allah
doesn't forbid you to
deal justly and kindly
and give charity to whom did not
fight you for the religion and did not
get you out from your residences for Allah
loves the just ones]
al-Mumtahinah
83:8.
Then He reminded us
of a speech of his
father [AAH]
when he said:
Mawlana sheikh
Ibrahim said in his speech
in 2001:
"My
brothers and sisters ….. My sons and daughters ….
And while
we cross over into
the third millennium …
Into the age of cultural
globalization where
the borders in front of
the human thinking will disappear and so
will the control of the countries over
the science and culture.
We find that facing the
intellectual invasion and managing
the dialogue operations
between civilizations and cultures require
perfect and accurate approach that
empowers us not only to face
this intellectual invasion, but also to
organise civilization restriction
which reflects the honorable
prophetic guidance to remove the veils
of darkness in these
cold areas and to establish
the foundation for building a new world
where love, affection, and justice
prevail".
This speech was
delivered before Mawlana sheikh
Ibrahim passed away to Allah, that was in
2001, a decade ago, then Mawlana sheikh Mohamed
came out last year with
his speech to remind us
of it. That is why we
say it is
a good tiding of
a coming new age where the union of the
nation will be realized and
where the love and
affection will predominate. For
that is Allah's
will, the Almighty,
which is not to
be declined. Otherwise,
one wonders what
were these bills
of courage that were taken by those young
people and their nations to have this
courage to ask for justice,
equality, fighting corruption, and
giving everyone his rights?? this
has to be Allah's doing
who endues with honor
whom He wills, and
humiliates
whom He wills. In His
hand is all good. Verily, over all things He
has power.
Back to the question of:
What is the relation between the love and
the straight Path? The previous
verse says that who apostatizes
from his religion, then Allah will
produce people who will be firm
with their religion.
So what are the qualities of those people?
Allah Almighty said [whom
He will love as they will love Him].
this means that
the apostates are those who
withdraw from this love,
and that love is the apostatized
religion. Those lovers' qualities are:
that they are humble towards the believers and mighty towards the
disbelievers, who disbelieved
in this great
blessing, the
love. We love for Allah
and thus we obey Him in
loving His Messenger, His
saints and all
believers in His love.
As approach to Allah is
by increasing our love
until Allah loves us,
as was mentioned in Hadith (...
till I love him, and
 when
I loved him I will became his hearing and his sight ...).
al-Bukhary
So look
brothers and sisters at this passionate
love, would it be hard to know anything
after you have got it?
This is the meaning of reaching to Allah
which is getting to
know Allah. This
is the meaning of tranquility [Indeed,
with the Dhikr of Allah the hearts
are reassured ] ar-Ra'd
13:28.
Those
reassured saints say the
truth and they are
never afraid of the blame of any
blamer. May Allah benefits us with their
blessing and makes us some of them with
His Grace and Generosity. Amen.
The straightness is continuing
to be on this path, the path of love that
takes us to Allah's love.
Imam Fakhreddin
[AAH]
says about this love:
[He dies
as a martyr, he
who loved Muhammad,
his
family and companions
so what a
happiness for that dead one]
1/135
[Indeed
the disease of love is a malady for the lover
but it
cures the chronic incurable ailments]
1/136
And he
says in a nother verse:
[The
knowledge dresses the
servant the best of dresses
And the love cures the
all illnesses]
15/25
In another verse,
he [AAH]
talks to us about the
people of care of those
who reached Allah's love and became
His eyes and hear, so he
[AAH] says:
[The
people of care if they took care of some
master
he became
effects to be sold and bought]
23/1
[They
fed on love and drank
the strong longing
and love was
their consolation if they were thirsty or
hungry]
23/2
Their real useful food
in the worldly life and
the hereafter is love,
then he [AAH]
says:
[They
spent their nights being looked
at by Allah's eyes
if the two
worlds
(humans and jinn)
became scared,
they would not]
23/3
So, those who follow
the saints are always
in the care of Allah and never afraid of a
human or Jinn.
May Allah benefits us with them in this
worldly life and the hereafter.
And untill the next issue if Allah,
Almighty, is willing. and peace,
mercy, and
blessing be upon
you.
