Towards The Understanding of Nur -i- Ahmad {s}
By: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
Audhu billah min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillah ir-rahman ir-raheem
In this session we will begin the
Tafsir of Surat
ash-shams, surat 91. It was revealed to the Prophet (s) in Makka al-Mukarrama.
Wash-shams wa duha'ha. Wal-qamari idha
talaha. Wal nahari idha jalaha. Wal lail idha yaghshaha
Allah almighty is giving and oath and He wants to show
the greatness of His creation.
-
By the sun and
His glorious splendor,{ Heavenly Power} and
-
by the moon as
she follows him,{ Dunya Power}
-
by the day as
it shows up the sun’s glory, by the night as it conceals it;
-
By the Firmament and its (wonderful)
structure. { Stars }
-
By the earth
and its wide expanse.
That is what we are able to understand and you know
that Allah’s word, no one can understand it. That is why scholars, as much
as they interpret Allah’s words, it never ends,. If all the trees were pens
and all the oceans ink, the knowledge would never end.
Was-shamsi wa duhaaha. Why did He choose to begin with
the sun?
Because as everyone knows, the scientists, if there was
no sun there would be nothing living on earth.
The sun is a major source of
life. { In Units of Time is The Year}
And Allah wants to show us His greatness thru highest level and coming
to reach us when we are living on earth.
That is why He begins was-shamsi wa
duhaaha.
And then He
said, “and the moon which follows him.” And then {
Moon is the 12 Months}
“by the day and
then by the night.” He described
the whole picture of life in those two three verses. The sun, the
moon, the day in which we live, the night in which we sleep.
{ Day 30 Units of Time}And then he is
showing the relationship between heaven and earth.
By the
firmament and its wonderful structure, and by the earth and its expanse.
Then he comes to us, the human being.
Then by the
soul and the proportion and order given to it.,
So when Allah swt, wash-shamsi wa duhaaha. He is saying
the sun. what do we understand from the sun.
-
When we pray salaat al-Fajr, how is the sun known.
-
We
don’t see the sun but we see its light.
-
How is the sun known – by its
light. That is how he followed the description of the sun by its light.
-
Duha
is the time when the sun rises and you can see it.
-
That is when you pray
salat al-ishraq. You are praying to Allah for his greatness that he
created that source of light for you.
-
That is why
Awliya follow the
Sunnah to pray ishraq.
-
It is a sign
that you are thanking Allah for that source of light that made all life
possible on earth.
And then he said, by the sun and its splendor. Splendor
means what? Duhaaha is not only splendor. Dahwa. Is the
appearance thru the sign of the light and establishing its strength, when
something appears it takes all the attendance they say “you are the
spotlight or the guest of honor” at a conference.
The main attraction.
{ To Know Sayedena Muhammad is to Understand His Light
and His Gift to Creation by His Appearance.}
The
sun as it appears in the sky, takes the whole sky under it, it becomes the
sultan of the sky. Nothing appears there any longer. Do you see anything
else there.
That means by its strength, its sultan.
{ Nothing is Like Unto Allah, but Understand the Best
of His creation is Sayedena AHMAD {S}}That appearance is for
that sun. do you see anything else. Look at the sun for two minutes, then
turn your eyes, you see nothing but black.
{ It will snatch away your site, how dare you stare
directly at Me.}
That is the meaning of the word duhaaha.
And when duha, which is why we pray ishraq, and then we
pray duha, which is when it goes higher and higher, at the zenith we pray
dhuhr. In between we pray duha. The highest peak of the sun is at the
zenith. Like the moon going to its full. { Naqshbandi
Awrad: Zuhr Prayer Read Surah Mulk, The zenith and power shows at that time
by the day and night, again reading at Isha Salat. for the Two Kingdoms
Malik Hayat- Heavens , Malik Dunya-Physicality}
And ad-dahwa, and ad-duha, are two words that
describing the nur ash-shams, the light of the sun. and when that light
comes, every shadow disappears. { In His presence all
Illusions will disappear.}There is no more shadow. Every shadow you
can no longer see.
When the sun reaches the duha, the zenith. That is why at
the zenith, if you put a stick, you don’t see any shadow. It is controlled.
It is dominating everything. There is nothing except under its control. That
is why Allah is saying “was-shamsi wa duhaaha” you have to understand that
is not something simple.
Who is putting that sun millions of years, in that
place with that light, that source of light giving life to unity and making
the day and night to be two signs, ayataan, two miracles.{ Secret of
Time}
By making that
earth turn around itself, making day and night.
Why not the sun
turning about its axis? Why not the
sun. who made the sun fixed and the earth moving. Doesn’t it need
something behind it? That is Allah’s greatness, saying, “take an example
from my creation.” Look at the sun
and its strength and its domination.
Nothing can
stand in front of the sun. even if you take a big telescope it burns
everything. Put a magnifying lens, it burns.
Who made that
source of energy?
How much they are getting oil to make energy here, and
they are afraid that after 100 or 20 years it will finish. Allah was not
afraid that the sun will finish. That is the power of “kun fa yakoon.”
When He says, “Be and it will be.” When He says, “Stop”, it will stop. The
sun, its praising of Allah, tasbih ash-shams, is what keeps its light and
its energy continuously emanating. That is from its praising to Allah swt.
That we cannot hear, but he Prophet can hear.
That praising
it is its source of life. { The Praise of Nur i Ahmad
is what Allah is Supporting the power on the tongue of His Beloved Caliph
Eternally Muhammad RasulAllah. MuHammid al Kawn}
When Allah
wants it to cease, he orders it to stop praising and it stops, it goes.
Then He said, “wal-qamari idha talaha.” - “
By the
moon which follows her.” Follows? Follow what?
It doesn’t walk.
{ The Moon Is The Physical Representative of Sayedena
Muhammad {S} at all times their must be a steward of the Throne. Magam
Fardani "Warith Muhammadia"}
What
does it follow? “talaha” talaha in what? Follow the sun in
what. { The Muhammadan Representative }
“by the moon as she follows him” – what do they
explain here.
Allah is showing His greatness, that when the sun goes the
moon comes.
Who is moving that? Who is making that change? “Wa kullun fee
falakin yasbahoon.” And every planet in its orbit is swimming. Who is making
the sun to go and the moon to come.
The moon is
there but you cannot see it, until the earth turns on its axis and becomes
on the side that is dark, then you can see the moon. Because at that time
the sun does not show up, you can no longer see it as it is becoming dark.
The moon is
following the footsteps of the sun.
“in kuntum tuhiboonAllah.”
The sun is
telling the moon “follow me” "wa tabi uni" “if you follow
me you will be shining like me. If you don’t
follow me, you will never shine.”
So what did the moon do? It is Allah’s Word, not our
word.
The moon followed. It means follow the footsteps, behind the sun.
So
when she follows the footsteps of the sun, it begins to reflect that light
of the sun on the earth. { The Qawth or Muhammadan
Representative will keep the True Muhammadan Light on Earth and all creation
to benefit as well all the Stars which are the Souls of Enlighten Beings or
Saints}
There is no light on the moon.
The moon has no
light of its own.
The moon has no activity on it.
There is no energy
explosions, if we want to describe it in a scientific way, but since the
moon followed the way or followed the other one with its activity and
energy, she will inherit or be blessed or be dressed with its light.
Although it has no light, it becomes shining. It means that a dead planet
becomes shining because he has been blessed by following the footsteps of
the sun and looking at the sun and taking from it.
“Wal-qamari idha
talaha.”
That is why to awliyaullah, as we go to a different
explanation.
The sun to the awliya represents the
ruh, the spirit.
{O mankind! reverence
your Guardian-Lord, who created you from a single person
RUH WAHID }
That ruh
that has the activity, the energy, the power.
The body
without the spirit, is nothing.
The moon
without the sun doesn’t shine.
The body
without the spirit doesn’t function.
The spirit is
the main source of life to that dead body.
From that the moon becomes, takes the light from the
sun, then becomes like a representative to the sun at night.
-
Like a calipha,
a deputy, in darkness for people to be guided by his light.
-
That is why
Allah said, “innee ja’ilun fil ardi khalipha”
That means “I am sending him that life to make that
earth alive.”
-
And Allah is describing that in surat ash-shams.
-
Thru two
verses. “Was-shamsi idha talaha…”
Describes the
whole life structure. There is one main source, and its representative.
-
Takes from the
main source and then he is dressed with what the main source sending it to
humanity.
-
Then he
disperses it to those around him.
-
All night you
look at the moon and you will not have any problem..
-
but look at the
sun two minutes and you will be blind.
-
So no one can
take directly from the sun.
“Wa ja`ala ash-shamsi diya`an wal qamari nuran.”
-
He said, He made the sun a source of energy, diya.
{ Humans can not directly plug into the suns power, so
Allah Ati Allah Ati Rasul wa Ulul Amri Minkum, Those Murshids which take the
Energy and make it as a light for humanity to easily absorb. The Need
for Tariqat}
-
That is a hidden energy that when the sun is exploding it makes that light.
-
They say diya ash-shams and nur al-qamr.
-
Diya ash-shams means
the source of the light and the nur is the light. Nur means
the reflection of the light. It is a messenger giving you the guidance.
“Qad ja’akum min Allahi nurun wa kitaabun mubeen.”
-
That Is Muhammad, he is described as nur. All scholars said that refers to
Muhammad (s). so a human being,
-
what is the moon and what is the sun?
The moon of the human being is the place of the heart.
-
It is from the body, a piece of flesh. So qamar is a piece of a
planet that has no life on it.
-
So the heart is a piece of flesh. What makes
the heart to function – it is the ruh.
-
So the heart of the human
being is described as the moon.
-
The
ruh is described as the sun, the
source of the energy.
-
When you are able to make the ruh dominate the
heart, then you will be a reflector of light.
-
At that time the heart begins
to reflect light, knowledge.
-
When you make the heart to dominate the
ruh
by the cover of the worldly life, that ruh is compressed and is put
down so it can no longer come out.
-
It is under the
pressure of desires of the heart, the bad desires
Lusts.
-
That is why the
heart is seat of good desires and bad desires. If you let the bad desires
control the heart, then you have no more light in the heart.
-
That fountain
of knowledge is stopped. You become connected to dunya.
When you make the heart down and the ruh up, as
the sun dominates the entire sky when it appears, then every cell of your
body will be reflecting light to humanity. That is what we were describing
in jumu`ah, how Sahaba were able to convert people around the world
in masses.
-
Because they were speaking form ruh. That light which they
reflect thru their bodies which they take form the main source of energy is
enough to change the hearts of people immediately.
-
Like laser light. Many sickness are healed with laser.
If you keep that light of the laser, without using it, it is there, when you
open it up to sick people it will heal them. You don’t need to talk. Only
send that light it will take all these sicknesses away. You don’t need
surgery. Only that light goes and it will work.
-
That is what Allah swt is
saying, washshams wa duhaaha. With its splendor, from the ocean of power,
what it is going to do to humanity when I dress them and bless them and make
them calipha on earth, that earth means their physical bodies, to represent
and reflect my light.
-
That is why
there are not many moons, there is only one.
-
No two moons.
-
Where we are
living is only one moon.
-
So there is
only one Prophet, the seal of the Messengers, who can inherit that light
and give. You can take from that but you are not the
moon, he is the moon.
As we said, as the moon follows the sun, “as
the moon when she follows him,”
-
so too must the
moon of the heart follow the spirit and the soul in order to take from its
light in order to reflect anywhere.
-
If the moon of
the heart, follows the ego, at that time, that heart will follow the
darkness and fall completely in a dark situation and in that situation there
is no light and that person will be enveloped in darkness.
Awliyaullah said, “inna as-shamsan ayyatan lil
haqiqat il-ilahiyya” -Prophets Light or Ruh
-
the sun is the sign of the Heavenly Lordly
perfected perfection.
-
The sun describes, it symbolizes the sign of the
reality of the Lord of Heavens, where it represents the highest perfected
perfection, where there is no greater perfection above the sun with its
splendor, when it rises and dominates the heavens.
-
That means that during
the day everything disappears, except that reality.
-
The meaning of that, is
there is no reality existing except Allah.
-
Everything else is vanishing in
His Presence.
-
No one can raise his head.
-
That is what is meant, “By the sun
and his splendor.” Allah swt is describing the reality of that attribute of
Qudra, Power. One of His Attributes is the Bahr al-Qudra, from which
everything came out. He is describing one name only - a single name. Al-
Qadir "Qaf"
-
{ Allah Showing us the Sayedena Ahmad's Light
and knowledge has no comparison with anyone or thing in creation it is a
Divine Gift, you can not say the sun is like Allah. Because their is nothing
in this tiny universe or creation that can be compared to the Creator or the
Universe.}
As for the moon, “wal-qamaru ayyatan lil-haqiqat
il-insaniyya al-akmali al-kamali,” Prophets Physicality
-
it represents the sign of the reality
of humanity’s perfection of its perfection.
-
That is why the moon represents
the Holy Prophet (s), in his perfection.
-
And the sun represents the bahr
al-qudra of Allah swt.
-
Since the moon was created, until Judgment Day, it is
the center of focus of concentration on something.
-
The moon is the focus of
the realities that the sun is dressing it with, to make the moon to reflect
that light out to humanity in its darkness.
-
So it represents, since it was
created until Judgment Day, the moon is in every time, every century and in
every moment, reflecting the light of the sun.
-
That means the Prophet (s) is
always the focus and center of Allah’s blessings and of Allah’s dressing him
in every century and every moment, accompanying mankind until Judgment Day.
-
Not only from his time, but from the time of Adam (as). From that time, “kunta
nabiyyin wa adam bayna al-ma’i wat-teen.” – “I was a Prophet when Adam
was between water and clay.” { There Has always been a
representative of the Muhammadan Reality on Earth like Allahs Servant
Sayedena Khidr (AS), teaching Nabi Musa {S} realties.
The first that thing That Allah created was
my Light.
-
He accompanied
all creation that appeared on earth and he was the Seal of Messengers for
them.
-
Why does the moon come out at night? Not during the
day.
-
Because during the day, Allah is showing his power,
-
But I sent a calipha
to represent Me to show up in darkness.
-
That means the
Prophet (s) was sent to take darkness and bring light, to take devils away.
-
That Is why the
symbol of the moon Is only in darkness.
-
You don’t see
the symbol of the Prophet until you are in darkness, making sins.
That is why He said, “If you really love Allah follow
me.” How do people follow the moon? They follow at night. If there is no
moon you are lost at night. How do you find your direction. You cannot see.
May Allah forgive us. May Allah support us.
=========================
They teach
Tafsir ibn Kathir and they teach Tafsir al-Jalalayn. But
al-Jalalayn is perhaps as long as the English commentary. But Suyuti has
another tafsir ad-Durr al-manthur which is xx volumes. Every volume
is 700 pages. They teach the mukhtasar, the abridged version, which
is al-Jalalayn. So they don’t have the full information. And no one
translated any of these tafasir to English . That is a big project
and very difficult.
