The
Trueness of my Promise
[the
emissaries
talk about the trueness of my promise
and
woe,
ten verses, in tens]
31/1
In the
first
verse of qasida 31 of Sharab al-Wasl divan by Imam Fakhreddin
[AAH].
He is telling us through the light of the name the Guider, as he was
sent to revive the religion of this nation, to represent the Truth
Almighty, to be as caliph for the Chosen One [PPBUH] in out time. In the Hadith of Abo-Huraira [AAH];
the Messenger [PPBUH]
said (Allah, Almighty, sends to this nation on the top of each
hundred years someone to revive its religion).
Al-Bayhaqy, as-Seyouti, al-Hakim on the condition of
the two Sahihs, and Abo-Dawoud [AAT]. And that is our belief in Imam
Fakhreddin [AAH]. He says in his guaranteed method, which contains a reviving that
pleases Allah and His Messenger and raises the esteem of this
nation:
[the emissaries talk about the
trueness of my promise]
The emissaries:
were clarified by Imam Fakhreddin in the ninth verse of the qasida
29, when he talked about his qasidas:
[and they are the emissaries with every goodness
and this wind of
caliph is from its Rokha (name of good wind)]
29/9
These qasidas were sent as emissaries with every goodness of
aphorisms, advices, guidance, methods, and a way to Allah -getting
close. Look at the saying of the righteous servant of Allah,
al-Khidr, in Surat al-Kahf [and I did it not upon my own
command]
al-Kahf 18:82.
as all he did is upon the command of Allah. and Allah's saying [And
they say: The Beneficent has taken unto Himself a son. Be He
Glorified! Nay, but are honored slaves ¤ they speak not until He has
spoken, and they act by His command]
al-Anbeia 26-27.
Look at the
 interpretation
of ibn Ajeeba for this verse where he says: the secrets of the High
Self is exalted from having a female companion or a son… so those
inhabitants of the upper world are honored and exulted of the
impurity of the sense. They are immersed in the passion of closeness
and intimacy. The inhabitants of the lower world are different:
those who have their minds overcome their lust, their meanings
overcome their senses, and their souls overcome their bodies, then
they would be like the angels or better. But those who have their
lust overcome their minds, their senses overcome their meanings, and
their bodies overcome their souls, then they would by like the
animals or worse. Whoever joined the upper world of the closer
saints, he will be covered by the same praise that Allah praised
them with, as He said [They praise Him night and day, and they
never flag]
al-Anbiya 21:20.
and His saying [they speak not until He has spoken] as
to arrange something with Him before His arrangement appears, and
they work only in His obedience.
End of ibn Ajeeba words.
This is how the righteous servants are in the worldly life and in
the hereafter. So if they appear to us in the worldly life
representing the Truth, Almighty, then why do we deny them and
abstain from following them, while this is the custom of Allah with
His creation, if he wants to talk to someone, He talks to him from
behind veil [And it was not to any human that Allah should
speak to him unless by revelation or from behind a veil, or He sends
a messenger to reveal what He will by His leave. Lo! He is Exalted,
Wise]
ash-Shwora 42:51.
from the examples of what we said is when Sd. Omar ascended the
pulpit and during his speech he said "O, Saria, the mountain" i.e.
stick to the mountain, and Saria and his army heard him from a
distance of months travel. When the companions asked Sd. Omar about
this, he said: it some words, Allah ran on my tongue.
Back to the words of Imam Fakhreddin as he says:
[the emissaries talk about the
trueness of my promise]
The emissaries here are his words, qasidas, advices,
guidance, and what he told about the Truth, Almighty. If all
messengers and prophets were denied before him then no wonder that
he who was sent to revive the religion in our time, would be denied.
We would like to mention here something very important: first: we
did not say anything except supported with a verse or Hadith.
Second: He who sent those messengers and prophets [PBUT] is Allah, Almighty, and He who sent this reviver [AAH]
is Allah, Almighty, also. Third: whoever denied those prophets and
messengers, is denying someone sent by Allah, and also whoever
denied a reviver, is denying someone sent by Allah, and whoever
denies a saint is denying the words of Allah, Almighty.
Forth: who of us looked for this Imam reviver of the religion in our
time, as per the Hadith mentioned above? Is not it necessary to look
for this sent reviver to unify the gathering of the separated groups
of Muslims, who are accusing each other of disbelief? Or do many of
us think that this reviver was sent out of luxury? Or do many of us
do not care about this honorable prophetic Hadith? or are many of us
satisfied with how it is now; of meanings and Fatwa in religion that
do not nourish or save from hunger? Or many of us are satisfied with
ignorance? As the people of denial have invaded what the righteous
ancestors said of meanings and so they went far away of what the
Lord wanted from us, so do we have a shelter to go to? Is
 there
a saving arc driven by a clever captain to take us through the
strong high arrogant waves of ignorance and guide us to the shore of
safety, until we come to rest upon al-Judi?
And if you say "I have a mind and I can think with it and… and…" I
tell you before you think alone, think with me about; for example:
Sd. Noah started making an ark in the dessert, and when he was asked
about it he said that is going to sail with it and save whoever ride
with him from drowning! Of course only 13 or 17 people believed him,
so were they excused? Of course not. Also I want to draw your
attention to something, which is: the thing that you are required to
believe in, has to be hard to believe if you only think of it with
your mind, or else what would be the need for believing. I mean if I
get you a car and asked you: do you believe that this is a car? It
would be meaningless. Also look at what Allah said to the mother of
Musa in order to save him for her [Throw him into the ark, and
throw it into the river, then the river shall throw it on to the
bank, and there an enemy to Me and an enemy to him shall take him]
Ta-Ha 20:39.
also look at what al-Khidr did with Musa [PBUT]! He punches a hole in the ship that
belonged to some poor people who did nothing except carrying them in
their ship to the other bank without pay after being refused by more
than one other ship because they did not have money to pay for the
crossing.
Look at Shari'a: in Tayamom you wipe the upper surface of your
slipper and not its lower surface, and the mind would think that the
lower surface deserves more to be wiped as it is the surface we step
on. And look at you washing all your body from the sperm but you
only wash the genital parts from peeing, in spite of the fact that
sperm is pure and pee is foul. However, we are not telling you to
cancel your mind but we tell you to use your heart and not discard
it, and before you use it you need to clean it or else it would not
guide you to anything good.
For what we mentioned and the fact that most of the people of earth
are blocking the way of Allah, Imam Fakhreddin [AAH] is telling us that he is truthful about what he has
promised us of in his guaranteed method "Sharab al-Wasl", and
because he is telling us a message from Allah, he warned us and
said:
and woe, ten verses, in tens. Here we start as: Imam Fakhreddin is
not separated from his words. As he and his method are one thing or
two faces for one coin. We go back to Qur'an to read [By the
emissaries, one after another]
al-Murslat 77:1. Then we look at the interpretations:
The apparent: they say it is the angels and the verse is swearing
with them.
The intrinsic: Imam Tasatury [AAH] said: i.e. the angels who were sent with the goodness of His
command. The intrinsic meaning: is the souls of the believers
sending inspiration in agreement with the Qur'an and Sunna.
End of Imam Tasatury's words. It means an oath from Allah with the souls of the believers that
sends inspiration in agreement with the Qur'an and Sunna. Imam
Baydawi [AAH]
said: I swear by the complete souls sent to the bodies to complete
it.
End of Imam Baydawi's words.
 Imam
ibn Ajeeba [AAH]
said: He swears with the souls of the knowledgeable ones sent to
every era with all that is known and good of Shari'a and nature,
like the purification from the vices and the moralization with the
virtues.
End of Imam ibn Ajeeba's words.
As if Imam Fakhreddin [AAH] was saying: the Sura of al-Murslat, that Allah swore in with the
emissaries who are the perfect knowledgeable saints, and I am
one of them, talked about what we came with and how it is the truth
and how we are truthful in our promise, and that Allah confirmed our
truthfulness and said in the seventh verse of the same Sura [Behold,
all that you are promised will surely come to happen]. And
if you say that promised here is referring to Qur'an, I will ask you
one question: then why are Muslims differing and accusing each other
with disbelief? What counts is the meanings that Allah clarified in
the chests of those to whom he gave the knowledge; i.e. what you are
promised on their tongues. In the Surs of az-Zaryat, in the
interpretation of ibn Ajeeba, he says: [and those that carry
the burden]
az-Zaryat 51:2,
the purified souls carrying the knowledge, wisdom, and gifts. [And
those who distribute by command]
az-Zaryat 51:4, those souls and completed secrets, that
distribute the moral and physical provisions. Where Allah gave them
that with His favor when they were completed. These are the souls of
the people of disposal of saints. So what your are promised of
reaching to us is true for whoever was truthful seeking it. And it
is true that the reward for striving is witnessing. Imam Qushairy
said: Allah, Almighty, promised the obedient ones with paradise, the
repentant ones with love, the saints with closeness, the
knowledgeable ones with connection, and the seekers with finding.
Maybe He meant by the saints, all the righteous ones. He interpreted
az-Zaryat as the winds of the Godly gifted inspirations that come to
the hearts to diminish the sickness, doubts, delusions, and the
stray thoughts from it. As it comes from the presence of the Subduer
and it meats nothing unless it drives it away.
End of Imam ibn Qushairy's words.
For all of that he said:
and woe, ten verses, in tens.
The half verse is composed of 15 Arabic letters to take us to the 15th verse of this Sura in Qur'an, which is
the first of these warning ten verses, and which was repeated in the
Sura in letters but not in meaning [Woe unto the repudiators
on that day!]
al-Murslat 77:15.
Woe here [Wayl] is referring to a valley in hell, promised for the
repudiator. And ten verses because it was mentioned ten time
in the Sura, and
in tens means gathered. As if he is saying: that he is warning
with all the ten verses together, as each kind of repudiator or
denier has different Woe, which negate the repletion. And Allah is
the All-Knower.
So Woe, all Woe is for the deniers not for the liars, may Allah save
us from these and those and makes us believers and truthful. Amen.
And to the next issue, ISA, and may peace be upon you and Allah's
mercy and blessings. Prayers and peace of Allah be upon sayyduna
Muhammad, his family, and companions.
