Isra and Mi’raj

☀️ Some Benefits of Isra and Mi’raj commemoration 

First, it is a reminder of the boundless Majesty and Glory of Allah Almighty. Whatever Allah Almighty wills happens, without limitations in time or space. There is nothing too far or too high. All universes are as a single seed in one's palm. All things are seen, heard and controlled at one and the same time. 

Second, it is a reminder of the sublime nature of Hazrat Muhammad, Salla Allahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam, and the rank that he occupies in the Divine Presence. The Heavens and whatever they contain need the blessing of Hazrat Muhammad, Salla Allahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam. All great beings derive their Lights from his Light. Only Hazrat Muhammad, Salla Allahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam, can enter Divine Presence and Infinity even during his earthly stages of existence.

Third, it links the true murid to the holy ascending of one's inner faculties, especially the heart and the soul. Every truthful murid can go into Isra between different holy locations in the universe and can ascend into Mi’raj to high stations of illumination. The Buraq of a murid is their zikrullah with Rabitah Sharif of their Master Shaykh.

Fourth, it is a great source of knowledge of how the unseen realities behave and of how different forms of existence are related to the Creator, Jalla Jalaluhu. Through commemoration of Isra and Mi’raj with the spiritual link of one's Master Shaykh, the murid can perceive his/her place amongst the creation and their position in the different forms of existence.

☀️ First of Ramadan inspired wisdom 

Live Ramadan through its holiness, not through its time. The holiness of Ramadan touches the souls - the more your soul is fasting the more holiness you gain of Ramadan. 

Fasting of the soul is depriving it from the nafs desires, the ego haughtiness and the mental dreams, not only from dawn to dusk, but day and night throughout the holy month. 

For people whose hearts are not yet in Divine Presence, the nafs, the ego and the mind feed their souls continued negative vibrations. These cause the soul to be heavy and hence cannot fly to higher spiritual stations.

In Ramadan, put your self to account. It is time for fasting. Instead of 'wants' of your nafs, put ahead the 'wants' of your Shaykh; instead of the 'possessiveness' of the ego, be watchful of the instructions of your Shaykh; and instead of your mind's dreams, always think of the higher aspirations of your Shaykh. 

Without your Murshid Shaykh, your soul can never learn to fast.

To understand this wisdom, you need enough time in reflection of its words, then enough time in reflection of each sublime meaning it contains. 

Wishing you a high-yielding Ramadan.

☀️ Рамазоннинг биринчиси ҳикматни илҳомлантирди

Рамазонни вақти билан эмас, муқаддаслиги билан яшанг. Рамазоннинг муқаддаслиги қалбларга таъсир қилади - қалбингиз қанчалик кўп рўза тутса, Рамазоннинг муқаддаслигига шунча кўп эришасиз.

Нафснинг рўзаси нафақат тонгдан то шомгача, балки муборак ой давомида кечаю кундуз нафс истаги ва кибри ҳамда ақлий орзулардан маҳрум қилишдадир.

Қалби ҳали Илоҳий Ҳузурда бўлмаган инсонлар учун нафс, худбинлик ва ақлни озиқлантирадиган салбий тебранишлар давом этади. Булар руҳни оғирлаштиради ва шунинг учун юқори руҳий мақомга уча олмайдилар.

Рамазонда ўзингизни сарҳисоб қилинг. Рўза вақти келди. Ўз нафсингизнинг "хоҳишлари" ўрнига, Шайхингизнинг "хоҳишларини" олдинга қўйинг; нафснинг "егалик" ўрнига, Шайхингизнинг кўрсатмаларига эътибор қаратинг; ва ақлингизнинг орзулари ўрнига доимо Шайхингизнинг юксак орзу-ниятларини ўйланг.

Сизнинг муршид Шайхингизсиз нафсингиз ҳеч қачон рўза тутишни ўргана олмайди.

Бу ҳикматни англаш учун уларнинг сўзларини тафаккур қилиш учун етарли вақт, сўнгра ундаги ҳар бир юксак маънони тафаккур қилиш учун ҳам етарлича вақт керак бўлади.

Сизга Рамазон ойи самарали келишини тилаб қоламан.
