<font size="+1"><b>2nd Level: The Spiritual Guide of Purification Part II</b></font> <br>Mawlana Shaykh Hisham Kabbani<br> <a href="http://www.sufilive.com/2nd_Level_The_Spiritual_Guide_of_Purification_Part_II-1076.html">http://www.sufilive.com/2nd_Level_The_Spiritual_Guide_of_Purification_Part_II-1076.html</a> <p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> <p><span style="color: #cccccc"> Oakland Zawiya</span><p> <p><em>Murshid at-Tazkiyya</em><p> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytaan ir-rajeem </em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Bismillahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Raheem </em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Nawaytu'l-arba`een, nawaytu'l-`itikaaf, nawaytu'l-khalwah, nawaytu'l-riyaada, nawaytu's-salook, nawaytu'l-`uzlah lillahi ta`ala fee hadha'l-masjid </em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">In the previous session we spoke about the spiritual guide of purification, <em>murshid at-tazkiyyah,</em> that he is the one who has purified himself and he has been given permission to purify his followers. And this is the second stage or second level of the murshid, as here are four levels of <em>murshid</em> and the highest is the fourth.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So we explained some of his specialty and we continue today to say that “he has to know all the <em>awliyaullah</em>, all these pious sincere servants of Allah swt that they are the inheritors of prophets, and as we know there are 124,000 prophets as ibn `Abbas mentioned in the Tafsir of Surat al-`Araaf.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And so every <em>wali</em> is inheriting from one prophet. Every <em>wali</em> is inheriting from a prophet. Because all these prophets came before Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Although Allah said to them, in Holy Qur'an, that if the Prophet comes in your time you have to be a follower to him.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" align="center"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black"> </span></div> <div dir="rtl" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed"><span style="font-size: 18pt">وَإِذْ أَخَذَ</span><span style="font-size: 18pt">اللّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ لَمَا آتَيْتُكُم مِّن كِتَابٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ</span><span style="font-size: 18pt">جَاءكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُ</span><span style="font-size: 18pt">قَالَ أَأَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكُمْ إِصْرِي قَالُواْ أَقْرَرْنَا</span><span style="font-size: 18pt">قَالَ فَاشْهَدُواْ وَأَنَاْ مَعَكُم مِّنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Wa idh akhadha Allahu meethaqa an-nabiyyeena lama ataytukum min kitabin wa hikmatin thumma jaakum rasoolun musaddiqun lima ma`akum latuminunna bihi wa-la-tansurunnahu qaala a’aqrartum wa akhadhtum `ala dhalikum isree qaaloo aqrarna qaala f’ashhadoo wa ana ma`akum mina ash-shahideen.</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a Book and Wisdom; then comes to you an apostle, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses." Al-Imran [3:81]</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So all of them came before and the Prophet (s) is seal of messengers and wrapped everything together.</div> <div dir="rtl" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed"><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black">الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي</span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black">وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِينًا</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Al-yawma akmaltu lakum deenukum wa atmamtu alaykum ni`matee wa radeetu lakumu’l-islaamu deena.</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion</em>. [Al-Ma'idah 5:3]</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">“Today I completed to you,” Allah is saying in Holy Qur'an, and that is [addressed] to Prophet (s) and that <em>khitaab</em>, address, is to the Prophet (s) and when Qur’an says something it has a deep meaning. It not just as we take it today, that “<em>today we have completed for you your religion.”</em> But it is an announcement that we are completing the religion for all time and that is addressing all that came before - that Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is the completion of the religion for all time. Your religion was not completed. It needs the Holy Qur'an to be completed. It needs Sayyidina Muhammad to be completed. That is why they come behind each other. Always the one comes first as like for example you have a grand father, who is going to inherits from him? Your father, his son and then you will inherit from your father. So it goes from one to another.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So what your grandfather accumulated is not like what you accumulated. You accumulated more than your grandfather, because everything comes to you. Then his treasures and valuables end in your hand and then it ends in the hand of the one after you.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So as Sayyidina Muhammad (s) was the beginning and at the same time he was at the end. At the beginning Allah was giving to the Prophet (s) from Allah to prophet from prophet to anbiyaullah. It has to have that lineage, they cannot jump. Even a <em>nabi</em> cannot jump, it must have a certain discipline. That is why Allah swt said “If the Prophet comes in your time you will follow him.”</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So allah is sending a message to all prophets, that without Sayyidina Muhammad (s) the religion is not complete.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">That is a message from Allah that Sayyidina Muhammad (s) is the one completing the religion. That is why he said,</div> <div dir="rtl" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt">عن ابن عباس مرفوعا من حديث، صدره‏:‏ إنه لم يكن نبي إلا له دعوة قد تنجزها في</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt">الدنيا، قد اختبأت دعوتي شفاعة لأمتي، وأنا سيد ولد آدم يوم القيامة ولا فخر، وأنا</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt">أول من تنشق عنه الأرض ولا فخر، وبيدي لواء الحمد ولا فخر، آدم فمن دونه يوم</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt">القيامة تحت لوائي ولا فخر‏</span><span dir="ltr" style="font-size: 13.5pt">.</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>…ana Sayyid waladi Adam yawm al-qiyamati wa la fakhr… Adam faman doonahu yawm al-qiyamati tahta liwa'ee wa la fakhr.</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">All prophets will come to the Prophet Muhammad (s) on Judgment Day. Why will they come to him? Because with Sayyidina Muhammad (s) everything is completed. So completion of the religion means that the weight, it is completed by the Prophet (s), but before the Prophet (s) came 124,000 minus one. Because he is the last one. So all these different prophets all their knowledge ended up where? In Sayyidina Muhammad (s). And he is on top of it. So Sahaaba, the Prophet (s) gave them according to their level, their capacity, from different prophets.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So that is why the Prophet (s) said, “The scholars of my Ummah are like prophets of Bani Israel -`<em>Ulama Umattee ka anbiya Bani Israel</em>.” You have to put things together. Not normal scholars, but those who are <em>murshid</em>s, they are like prophets of Bani Israeel. Not in their rank. Because they are prophets. And there are Sahaaba they have different rank, and `<em>ulama</em> have different ranks. But in knowledge they are inheritors, they will inherit from different prophets according to different level.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So scholars, which means the <em>awliya</em> who are the pious sincere people, the spiritual guides, will inherit from different prophets. The highest will inherit from the Prophet (s).</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So that is why al-Busayri said, “<em>kullun min Rasulullah multamisan</em> - Everyone is taking from the Prophet (s).” <em>kullun</em> means? That everyone means including prophets. That <em>kullun</em> doesn’t mean group of people but it means everyone, before or after, they are seeking help of Sayyidina Muhammad (s).</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So he said the <em>murshid</em> of <em>tazkiyyat</em>, the <em>murshid</em> who purifies you from the destruction of your ego, you know our ride a horse, the ego is riding us today, whatever the ego wants we do.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So that <em>murshid </em>has power on your ego to eliminate<em> yakoonu lahu feehi malakatu `ilmu jami` al-awliya</em>. In him, he is the expert, <em>malaka</em> in <em>Arabic</em>, yaanee he has a power that he will know all the knowledge all <em>awliyaullah</em> what they know. Because every <em>wali</em> inheriting from the Prophet (s). So these four levels of <em>murshid</em>s are in the line of inheriting from the Prophet (s) directly, where we are speaking about the second level. He is able to receive whatever is in hearts of pious people and saints, he is able to pull it out and look at it. And that means he is able to understand every <em>wali</em> and to know his name and to know from which prophet he is inheriting.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And that is why we explained about grand Grandshaykh Shaykh Sharafuddin ad-daghestani, and how he went into secret of Surat al-An`am and he was pulling out from it the names of the <em>awliyaullah</em>, because he is a guide, a <em>murshid</em>, and the secret of each prophet they are inheriting.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He knows their names. That is not easy. He knows their name not what their parents call them but the name that Allah gave them in the Divine Presence. those are the names seven that Allah gave to each person. Fee yawma alastu bi rabbikum qaaloo bala.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">What is your name according to the seven diff levels.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So when he was pulling these names, grand Grandshaykh Sharafuddin, when he was pulling these names it was very hard on his heart and after three months he told Grandshaykh Abdullah that he is leaving this dunya and he died after that.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So the shaykh in second level has to know all the names of these <em>awliya</em> and he has to know all the knowledge they are receiving from every <em>wali</em>. That means he is accompanying them all. As if he can be with you and you and you all at the same time. He can be in 124,000 images, reflections, appearing in front of all these pious people all at the same time taking from them.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Irshad is not something easy, as we are seeing in the flyers they are distributing. <em>`Allama, `allama, mufti, pir, </em>then the name<em>. Hazrat, `allama, mufti,</em> That means they are becoming higher than the <em>murshid</em>.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">“And he has to raise up his followers to his level.”</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">You cannot say something to your followers and you tell them something that make them, you know when someone is hungry and he is eating in front of you. What will happen to you? No just hungry. Before you eat, your stomach will begin to move and the saliva will drip down from your mouth.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So when the wali say something he encourage that student to have desire to reach that level. So that <em>wali</em> will begin to give <em>shahwat</em> to have that thing. That is why when the Prophet (s) began to describe the levels of paradise, that is why the Sahaaba were all ready to give their lives for him.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">You have to give, when the wali beings to describe these levels of paradise and levels of different saints, gives them the taste he gives them the desire to go to these stations. That is the duty of the <em>murshid</em>. That means on day of death, they will see all these ready before them. Like there are people today,</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Like on day of death, when father is dying, he has a box fullof jewelry. He will give you his special jewels or grants, at a special time. Not during his life. How much are the son or daughter ready to take it, they are happy to take it.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So when the mureed dies, the <em>wali</em> must present his mureed with all these treasures that the shaykh was speaking about in <em>dunya </em>and the student was hearing it they must give at the time of death.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So Grandshaykh said, “When one of my students dies, I am obliged by Prophet to appear to my student at the moment of death and to talqeenuh, to put on his tongue, talqeen, the shahada. Sayyidina Azraeel will not take his soul except with his presence and with prophet permission they call on the Prophet (s) request and depend on the level of the mureed, then the Prophet (s) is so… <em>yaanee</em> he will not let one from his Ummah to die without his presence to make sure that one gets to Paradise.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Don’t think that Allah dressed the Prophet (s) with that mercy for nothing. The Prophet (s) will never let any follower to leave the <em>dunya</em>, whoever said la ilaha ill-Allah Muhammadun Rasulullah, Azraeel will be delayed until the Prophet (s) appears before him and the follower will see him directly, and the prophet will take rsponsibilty in front of allah to clean that person and they send him to grave.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">There was one man in the time of the Prophet (s) that people don’t like him. He is,… we don’t want to explain what he was but he was very bad. When the month of Rajab comes, he locks himself in his room and he has a du`a that he reads it, he keeps reading it day and night and it is <em>Allahumma innee Astaghfiruka min kulli ma tubtu `anhu ilaika thumma `udtu feehi. …. fa ayyuma `abdin min `ibadika aw amatin min ima’ika…</em><a title="" href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><span><span style="font-size: 12pt">[1]</span></span></span></a> until the end, it is a <em>du`a.</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So every Rajab he close the door and recites that <em>du`a</em>. No one likes him. But he does that <em>du`a</em>. So when he died they didn’t bury him in the Muslim graveyard the children took him and threw his body in a well, not a very deep well, a dry well. And after they threw him there, Sayyidina Jibreel came to the Prophet (s) and said, “O Muhammad (s) Allah send you <em>salaam</em>, and says to you, today one of My <em>awliya</em>, My saints died. Go and wash him and give him <em>wudu</em> put the <em>kafan</em> (shroud) on him and bury him.”</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So the Sahaaba were surprised. And the Prophet (s) went, took him out and cleaned him and washed him and put the <em>kafan</em> on him and then they were going to Jannat al-Baqi` and the Prophet (s) was walking on his toes, not on his complete feet. And Sayyidina Abu Bakr (s) said, “O Prophet! This is strange.” And the Prophet (s) said, “No, there is no place to put my feet, angels are filling this place.”</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So don’t think there is no mercy. There is mercy for everyone. Don’t think something you did or your son or daughter did, will not be forgiven. When you ask repentance Allah will forgive.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Because he died in Rajab, which was the month he was in seclusion and he was reading that <em>du`a</em> in Rajab.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So the Sahaaba were surprised and asked the Prophet (s). And Jibreel came and said, “Ask the man’s daughter.” Of course the Prophet (s) knows but he has to say to explain to the Sahaba. So he went and asked her and she said, “my father said, ‘there are 12 months of the year, all of them are for me but one is for Allah.’”</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">That one was a pirate, a burglar, a robber, finding people in the jungle and stealing from them, then sending them away. This was his business. One day he stole that <em>du`a</em> from someone. He said, “O that is good it came in time; I am going to read it.” That <em>du`a</em> from one <em>wali</em>, might be one Sahabi. So he was reading that <em>du`a</em>. Eleven months for him and one month for Allah. For that <em>du`a</em>, it means he was repenting, that is what it meant. For that <em>du`a</em> he sent him to paradise and made him a <em>wali</em>.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">What do you think about you? You are doing your prayers, you are fasting Ramadan, you are believing in Prophet (s). You are trying to purify yourself and trying to reach <em>maqaam al-Ihsan</em> and following Allah’s <em>awliya</em> and their guidance. What is better than that. So Allah will not let them to leave <em>dunya</em> without saying the shahada in presence of Prophet (s). He is witness on Judgment Day. So he will not leave one of the Ummah without witness his <em>shahada</em>.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" align="center"><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black"> </span></div> <div dir="rtl" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; direction: rtl; unicode-bidi: embed"><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black">وَاعْلَمُوا</span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black">أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ</span></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>w`Alamoo anna feekum Rasulullah. You have to know the Prophet is within you. </em>[Al-Hujurat 49:7]</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So Prophet is <em>shahid</em> on us.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So all this was to explain how the <em>murshid</em> must take his students up to his level. Because he made their saliva to come out, meaning their desire, to come out, through the nice stories he is telling them about realities. So he must raise them to his level.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">He must have power that he can take in one moment that he looks at his student, because the shaykh looks at his student in 24 hours three times at least. Wherever you are, you took <em>baya</em>` from your shaykh, say Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, let us say we are speaking about this order now. Might be <em>shuyukh</em> in other orders say what they want to say. So in this order Mawlana Shaykh is responsible in front of the Prophet (s) to look at what you are doing and look at you three times.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And when he looks at you he doesn’t give you candies. He tries to give you did. Something to see if you arepatient or not patient.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">You come here and sit here.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So he likes, now he is looking at us, that is why he put these two troublemakers together to see what will happen. So you sit here, that is ok. So three times he has to look at you and three times when he looks at you he raises your level. And he has to take away, as he is saying <em>daf` al-adawat al-arba`a</em>. He has power to pullout the four enemies that are within you what are the four enemies? <em>nafs</em>, <em>dunya</em>, <em>hawa, shaytan. Nafs</em> is ego, <em>dunya</em> is desire for material world, <em>hawa</em> is desire, and shaytan is Satan. Everyone is carrying these in himself. Maqaam al-Ihsan is to be able to purify yourself from their control. To remove that control from oneself. Now they control us. So what is duty of <em>murshid</em>. To make you to control them. So that is why has to look at you three times daily.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And by taking the four enemies from you he has to throw in your heart<em> az-zuhd at-taam</em>. The highest level of <em>zuhd</em>, in <em>dunya</em>. Like the asceticism of Ibrahim ibn al-Adham, that is one of biggest <em>awliyaullah</em> who is buried in Damascus. That is what he has to make sure, and to make sure the followers drop from their eyes the love of <em>dunya</em>.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Today we cannot drop from our eyes the love of <em>dunya</em>. Some people especially those who are in <em>tariqah</em>, in Sufi orders, and especially those who are following the footsteps, or following Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, he throws in their hearts to drop the love of <em>dunya</em>. That is why you see many of them humble. They are not looking to build high rises. You ask them what are they doing? I am handyman. I am doctor. But he is generous; he gives his money in the way of Allah. He does his best, he works, then gives in way of Allah. One is a bank director, but he is giving in way of Allah.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So you can see among these students of murshids at different levels the love of <em>dunya</em> has dropped from their eyes. And it depends on the level of the student.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And he has to have the power of purifying - that is why we called him the spiritual guide of purification - he has to purify his student of laziness. You cannot be <em>zaahid</em> and lazy. Because today they think that <em>zaahid</em> means to be lazy. Sitting in corner. No you must be active, doing everything and doing your <em>awraad</em>.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">This one you can see him all day doing something. Never stopping. Without asking anyone, he finds something to do. This one the same. Without asking anyone.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">But in different way. Everyone Allah gave him specialty in a different way.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">And also that special guide of purification has to take away all kinds of imagination and hallucinations and gossips against the others from his heart. He has to clean the student of the gossips and hallucination. And he has to guide in the way of Shariah. You cannot guide anyone outside the Shariah. It is not accepted. If anyone is <em>murshid</em> and is not following Shariah then we reject him. Murshid has to comply with Shariah.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So his wife has to follow Shariah and his children have to follow Shariah. Now if someone of his close family is not doing this, then he has to renounce the member of his family as not following Shari`ah and say, “I am innocent of what he is doing.” At least for his students to know. That is to clear to his students.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Like Sayyidina Jamaluddin al-Ghumuqi al-Husayini, one time was going to the masjid and Allah sent him a wife that always gives him a hard time. Always. So one Jumu`ah, going to the mosque, dressing his nice dress, as Allah said, <em>khudhoo zeenatakum inda</em> kulli masjid,… take your best attire to the mosque and also to have a good heart. Not only physical, but also spiritual to every mosque. So she asked him, “Where are you going?” He said, “I am going to mosque.” She said, “No stay with me.” He said, “It is jumu`ah, I have to go it is Allah’s Shariah.” So he kept quiet and left the house. Not arguing. And as he went past the house she brought all the laundry water and poured on his head.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">That is a Golden Chain <em>wali</em>. That is why Grandshaykh said, that out of every 1000 <em>wali</em>, might be only two of their families who will understand the importance of their husband and the rest don’t understand. They don’t know they are <em>wali</em>. Like this lady, his wife, pours on him dirty water. And not only the wife, children also, don’t know the father is a <em>wali</em>. That is why they behave as they do.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So the <em>wali’s</em> duty is to tell you, that is why there are many <em>pirs </em>that they call themselves: <em>`allama, Hazrat, mufti</em>, <em>pir</em>,<em> sayyid,</em> their wives, they are nothing. But people have been .. what can you say, people are fascinated with their ways, but these people they don’t have really have a connection, spiritual power. So they do whatever they like.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So the problem is that you have to be a <em>murshid</em>, means you have to carry all these kinds of characteristics which is heavy characteristics and kind of discipline. But we are asking Allah to guide us and to guide everyone and to guide every <em>murshid</em> who believes he is murshid but did not reach all these levels to reach these levels.</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em>Bi hurmatil-habeeb, bi-hurmatil Fatiha.</em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"> </div> <div><br clear="all" /> <hr align="left" width="33%" size="1" /> <div id="ftn1"> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" align="center"><a title="" href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1"><span><span><span style="font-size: 12pt">[1]</span></span></span></a> <em><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black">Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem </span></em></div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><em><span style="font-size: 9pt; color: black">Allahumma innee Astaghfiruka min kulli ma tubtu `anhu ilaika thumma `udtu feehi.
