Mawlana Shaykh Nazim, may Allah bless him, says anyone who says shahadah in front of the holy hair, that hair will witness (for them) on the Day of Judgment, because that hair is part of Prophet (s). For those on the Internet, we are going to say shahadah, that Allah (swt) may unite us together. May Allah take away (burdens and sins) from the heart of every believer and this is the night of `Isra and Mi`raj. We have to show our unity.
Say now:
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa-Llah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasooluh.
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa-Llah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasooluh.
Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illa-Llah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasooluh.
And now we are renewing our baya` to Mawlana Shaykh and our connection to Prophet (s).
(Baya`)
Fatihah.
As-salaamu `alaykum. It is not easy to be in the presence of the holy hair (s), and Mawlana has put in my heart this inspiration: anyone present here or not is going to be with Prophet (s) in dunya; awliya and we are all asking to be with Prophet (s) in dunya, because everyone will see him in akhirah. And he (s) said:
من رائني في المنام فسيراني في اليقظة
man ra'anee fi 'l-manaami fasayaraanee fi 'l-yaqazhah.
“Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in reality (in dunya).” And he said:
من رائني في المنام فقد راءني حقا
man ra'anee fi 'l-manaami faqad raanee haqqan.
Who saw me in the dream saw me in reality.
And Imam Suyooti said, "In akhirah everyone will be with Prophet (s) and see him." Everyone will be at the feet of the Prophet (s). So we are asking with our shaykh, may Allah give him long life, to be with Prophet (s) in dunya because today he was saying that from the Orient to the west, that hair was as big as from east to west. It means whoever was with Mawlana, those present here tonight and those watching will be free from Hellfire as if they were born today, and it is my wish that we all be born again tonight with Mawlana Shaykh. And we extend our hand to everyone, so that the holy hair may be a witness for us that we extended our hand to everyone.
May Allah bless you and forgive us all.
Bi hurmati 'l-habeeb, bi hurmati 'l-Fatihah.
