How the advice and guidance got
tired
in it!
[whoever stayed
overnight oppressing, and clams
to love us,
is conceited and has
gathered contradicting things]
46/15
We continue with our
talk about the Qasida of the
people of Badr, from the Divan of Sharab al-Wasl of the
knowledgeable sheikh Fakhreddin [AAH], and accept
us with him.
 He
says: whoever stayed overnight oppressing: the mentioning of
overnight here maybe an indication of hiding, i.e. he is continuing
with wrong doing but is trying to hid it. Whoever is like and still
clams to love us, Ahl-al-Bait [the people of the house], whom are to
be love as required in Qur’an, … As if he is saying: You are
oppressing us and doing us wrong, for example; you accuse whoever
tries to visit us and be cordial with us, in our graves and gardens,
to be polytheist. While you know that our dead ones, who spent their
lives in Jihad and teaching people how to fight themselves for the
sake of Allah, in the bigger Jihad, are alive and are provided but
you do not feel, as the Qur’an script said. Then you clam to love
Ahl-al-Bait? No doubt, this is a strange contradiction. That is why
he [AAH] described him as “conceited” and does not realize the evil,
heedless of it, has no experience, deceived, and sick. So he has
gathered contradicting things within him, as he clams to love them
and at the same time calls people to not be cordial with them as
Allah ordered us clearly in His Holy Qur’an.
[whoever stayed
hoping to be innocent while he
is committing,
no doubt, that is
arrogance and stubbornness]
46/16
So whoever stayed his
night in this condition and this sickness, veiled from the truth,
and still hopes to be innocent, while committing the sin, then there
is no doubt that this is arrogance and stubbornness. Because it is
contradicting to what the Truth came with, and he still hopes to be
safe and sound; that is a prayer that is never to be answered, as
Allah can dispense with all worlds, He is Almighty.
[whoever does not
take my judgment and kept
astray,
there is no good in
him and what he has is holes]
46/17
Whoever does not
take my judgment: except cordiality is my judgment in my
guaranteed method, so do not ever deviate from it so that you may
win like the companions when they accepted the judgment of their
king; the Messenger [PPBUH]. As whoever deviate from my judgment, which is also the
judgment of Allah and His Messenger, the he has kept astray:
as the words of the sheikh are the truth, then anything against it
would be astray. Also the word in Arabic used for this astray is
also related to the moth that eats the wool, i.e. the tongue that
tries to refute the truth is acting like the moth with the wool and
is sabotaging the religion of Allah, Almighty. So it eats the
knowledge which is the best suit that the servant wears, makes it
wear out, melts, and goes with the wind. This is also related the
Sufi which is related to the words Suf in Arabic means wool. So it
also destroys the basis of Sufism, which is also referring to the
purity, loyalty, and vanishing in Allah. The purity and loyalty of
the Sufi one are only to Allah [And Ibrahim who paid his debt
(has been loyal)]
an-Najm 53:37.
vanishing in Allah is when he gives up all his qualities and gets
the qualities of Allah. Like the Hadith (I become his hearing and
his sight…). Then he would not relate any of that to Allah,
Almighty.
there is no good in
him: this
one who kept straying and tried to refute the truth, where would he
get any goodness.
 and
what he has is holes:
i.e. what he has of knowledge and ideas are nothing but holes that
people trip in. As his knowledge gets down not up like the knowledge
of the righteous people. Allah said [That is Our argument. We
gave it unto Abraham against his folk. We raise unto the degrees
whom We will. Lo! Your Lord is Wise, Knowledgeable]
al-An'am 6:83,
[We raise unto the degrees whom We will, and over every
knowledgeable one there is one more knowing]
Yusuf 12:76.
May Allah raise us with the knowledge of the sheikhs, promote us,
and save us from the holes of the astray ones.
[whoever peculiarly
deviate from the unanimity of
the people of my Sufi order
out of them,
then his drink is grudges] 46/18
The Beloved Chosen One
[PPBUH] said (I asked Allah to not gather my nation to astray, and
He granted me that). It is narrated in Musnad of the companion
in the nine books, also mentioned by as-Seyouty, al-Hakim, Imam
Ahmed, and also in ad-Dur al-Manthour, Kanz al-Ommal,
Tohfat al-Ashraf, al-Maqasid al-Hasana, Magmaa
az-Zawayd, and Kashf al-Khaba, but with different
narration. From these narrations are:
(Allah will never
gather my nation to astray, and the Hand of Allah is on the group,
like this – and he raised his hands – and whoever peculiarly
deviates, he deviates into hell). And also (Allah, Almighty,
does not gather my nation to astray, the Hands of Allah are with the
group and whoever peculiarly deviates, he deviates into hell).
Ibn Omar.
It is worth mentioning
to clarify something very important that people do not realize. It
is not read except in-between the lines, which is intended to be
understood from the Hadith. what is meant is not the general group
or the ignorant ones, but the group of the scholars of the nation;
the leading righteous group; the people of the first three centuries
of Islam, and those who followed them of knowledgeable scholars; the
people of insight up to the judgment day.
The Imam [AAH]
clarified the unanimity of the nation as:
[the Sunna of the
Great Mawla imposed on them
so they
went into three over seventy
branchs] 1/229
[and none of them
survived except a group that
stood by the door steps of
Aal-al-Bait (the
people of the house), the people
of protection]
1/230
[as how can be
survival in life without them
to them the
caravan walks in Hajj and Umra] 1/231
 Then,
whoever did not gather to the love of Ahl-al-Bait [AAT]
all, like the unanimity of the scholars of the nation, he is from
the astray seventy two groups, which did not gather to guidance of
the scholars. As the meaning intended by the Hadith is the unanimity
of the knowledgeable scholars of the nation, not its ignorant
peculiarly deviating one from the unanimity.
The sheikh [AAH], being one of the knowledgeable scholars of the nation, about
whom the Generous Messenger [PPBUH]
advised in the Hadith (on the top of every hundred years, Allah
sends to the nation someone to renew the matters of its religion for
it), being one of the Imams of Ahl-al-Bait, grandsons of the
Chosen One [PPBUH],
and he has lots of followers all over the world in his famous Sufi
order, and he is known for his miraculous acts. His Sufi order is
gathered upon what the leading righteous group and realizing
scholars gathered upon. Also the lovers of the other Sufi orders
testify to his relation. They all are gathering unto what the nation
scholars agreed unto, which is gathering unto the love and
cordiality of Ahl-al-Bait; the live and the passed away ones. So he
[AAH]
says: whoever peculiarly deviate from the unanimity of the people
of my Sufi order out of them: look at the word "out of them", as
he is not one of us and his drink is the grudges. Of course, if he
does not accept the love, and his heart is not wide enough for the
love of the people of the house of his Prophet, then his heart will
be filled with grudges, Allah protect us from him and all the likes
of him.
[he who benefits
from the reminding,
wins it
And if he turns
away, he would not have any
envious ones]
46/19
[And remind, for
reminding profits the believers]
az-Zariyat 51:55.
the beneficiary with the reminding is the believer in what we said
above. But the one who turns away then he has no goodness to be
envied by people. The Beloved Chosen One [PPBUH] (no envy except in two: a man whom Allah gave the wisdom, so
he is spreading it among the people and works with it, and a man
whom Allah gave money and made him spend it all in what is right).
In another narration (and a man whom Allah gave the Qur'an, so he
is standing with it by night and by day. A man would say: if Allah
gave me like this one, I would do like he does). So he endeared
the envy of the good deeds. So this one who did not benefit from the
reminding has no goodness to be envied. We mentioned what we said to
ensure that envy in anything other than what the Beloved [PPBUH]
said is dispraised and forbidden.
He [AAH] concluded
the qasida with:
[O, Saad, teach them
the sweetness of the obedience
How did the
advice and guidance got tired of
it]
46/20
 He
[AAH] says: O,
Saad. As if he is calling Sd. Saad ibn Mowaz who gave the greatest
example in the obeying the Messenger of Allah, Almighty, when he
said to the Messenger [PPBUH] "By He who sent you with the truth a Prophet, if you take us to
the sea and go through it, we would go through it with you". That
obedience has sweetness known by those who tasted it. As if the
sheikh is calling us, through his call to Sd. Saad to teach us the
sweetness of this obedience to make it easy for us to obey him, the
obedience that the advice and guidance got tired of. He is
mentioning his advice to us the qasida of Ta'iya in the verse 1/29:
[I advised for the
sake of Allah seeking his
acceptance
and the love of the
kinship, and I cleared my
conscience]
And in the verse 1/389:
[for this, my
seeker, be aiming for Allah
I advised you,
so drink thankful with my advice]
And in qasida 41, first
verse:
[the beloved do not
disdain my advice. For
the sake of Allah, I advised]
And in qasida 85, 4th
verse:
[I advised you, and advice is the base of my religion
so be careful of
being deceived by he who did
wrong]
He did not ask us [AAH] except cordiality, saying: we did not ask our beloved. Here
there is a sign that he who is not our beloved will not obey, and
our beloved is the one whom we love and he loves us out of caring
for us, as the love of Ahl-al-Bait is the base of our religion an it
contains the raising and guidance for us.
We say to you, o,
sheikh, we heard and obeyed, thanking for this dear advice, asking
Allah to reword you for us with the best a sheikh was reworded for
his seekers. Amen.
And to the next issue,
ISA, we leave you in the care of Allah, and peace be with you, and
the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. Prayers of Allah be to
sayyduna Muhammad and his family and his companions all.
