Title : Acquiring Good Energy, Repelling Bad Energy thru Muraqabah - Secrets of Fusion with your Divine Reality

Acquiring Good Energy, Repelling Bad Energy thru Muraqabah - Secrets of Fusion with your Divine Reality (Part 1)
 
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
 
“`Ati-Allaha wa ati`ur-Rasool wa ulil-amri minkum” – “O ye who believe! Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those charged with authority among you.”
 
This is our message for every association: that we have to be obedient to Allah (swt) and to his messenger and to His sincere servants that will guide us to the right way. The right way is the way that everyone likes. The right way is the way that everyone wishes. The right way is the way that everyone wants for himself or herself. The right way is the way that leads us to the Divine Presence.
 
Destruction/distraction, from the right way, will lead us to another way, which might not end in the Divine Presence which might end somewhere that makes you to be lost.  All this Allah (swt) sent His messengers and He sent the Seal of Messengers to show us how we are able to establish ourselves and how we can heal all the pain and sadness that might occur in our lives.
 
Secrets of Difficulties is The Rocket Fuel of the Soul:
 
• Pain and sadness are important in our lives because it might bring you back to the way that Allah wants you to be in.

• When you are in a difficulty, you remember Allah (swt); when you are in pain, you remember Allah (swt); when you are in sadness you remember Allah (swt).

• When you are sick you remember Allah (swt). When you are in any situation lonely, you remember Allah (swt).

• When you are longing for someone that your care for, you remember Allah (swt).

• That is why Awliya'ullah reached the levels, the high levels, because they were always longing to reach Allah (swt) they were always in pain to reach their Creator, always sad not able to reach the door of Sayyidina Muhammad (s).

• So that kind of overwhelming energy that comes out from the heart, when a situation arises, that makes you to feel the importance of that love that you care for, and it might lead you to the love of the Shaykh and the love of the Prophet and the love of Allah (swt).

• If you see how much Awliya'ullah were suffering because of their intensive love to Sayyidina Muhammad (s) and they wanted to reach his door in order that they will reach the door of Allah (swt).

{This is why they Obey their Shaykhs Orders knowing that it is from Rasul and knowing or not knowing if it is going to cause difficulty on them doesn't matter but what matters is understanding when Allah calling for You the fastest way to pull you soul back to His Divinely presence is when we are in Hardship for our Lords Sake.  This makes physical body as if on fire and soul fleeing to safety shores of Rasul where verily hearts will find their peace}
 
As Allah (swt) said in the Qur’an:

"Wa law annahum idh dhalamu anfusahum jaa’uka fastaghfaru Allaha wastaghfara lahumu arrasoolu la-wajadullaha tawwaaban raheema."
 
We sent not an apostle, but to be obeyed, in accordance with the will of God. If they had only, when they were unjust to themselves, come unto thee and asked God's forgiveness, and the Apostle had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found God indeed Oft-returning, Most Merciful. [4:64]
 
When they are oppressors to themselves, when they are in a situation to make them remember love of the Prophet, they come to Muhammad (s), as the Sahaba came to Sayyidina Muhammad (s), saying ya Rasulullah, seeking forgiveness, and Allah (swt) made it a condition.
 
Wasz staghfara lahum ar-Rasul - You make forgiveness on their behalf. That means they were able to reach the Divine Presence that they were guided to it and longing for it. {Calling Afu ya Afu}  O believers, Spirituality is very important. Because spirituality, the state of ihsaan, and tazkiyyat an-nafs, is the way that leads a Muslim and leads a dedicated person to reach the divine presence that he wants.

Title : Symbol of Me'raj
Author : e-Custodian
Date : 08-07-2010

A story survives in Islam about the vision of the Prophet: a vision or dream, which was an initiation in the higher spheres. Many take it literally and discuss it, and afterwards go out by the same door through which they came in, but from the point of view of a mystic one can find out the mystery it contains.

It is said that the Prophet was taken from Jerusalem to the Temple of Peace, which means from the outer Temple of Peace, Dar-I-Salam, to the inner Temple of Peace. A Buraq was brought for the Prophet to ride upon. The angel Jabril (Gabriel) accompanied the Prophet on the journey, and guided him on the path. The Buraq is said to be an animal of heaven, which has wings, the body of a horse, and the face of a human being. It signifies the body connected with the mind. The wings represent the mind, and the body of the Buraq represents the human body. The head represents perfection. It also symbolizes the breath. Breath is the Buraq, which reaches from the outer world to the inner world in a moment's time. Jabril, in this story, represents reason.

It is said that on his way the Prophet saw Adam, who, looking to one side, smiled, and looking to the other side, shed tears. This shows that the human soul, when it develops in itself real human sentiment, rejoices at the progress of humanity and sorrows over its degeneration. The Buraq could not go beyond a certain point, which means that although the breath takes one a certain distance, in the mystical realization, there comes a stage when the breath cannot accompany one. When they were near the Prophet's destination, Jabril also retired, which means that reason cannot go any further than its limit.

Then the Prophet arrived and he called aloud the name of God, saying, 'None exists, save Thee,' and the answer came, 'True, true.' That was the final initiation from which dated the blossoming of Muhammad's prophetic message.
