Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm
Shukr to Allāh ﷻ, we will be observing the blessed Laylatul Mirāj of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam tomorrow, in shā’a Llāh. These are special days. It is one of the days that our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam gifted to his ﷺ Ummah. It is an incident when Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla showed the superiority of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam over all the worlds, shukr to Allāh ﷻ.
Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla made our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam reach a rank, a place that no other creature could reach, and He ﷻ accepted him. Of course, only Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla knows how and in what state he ﷺ was. What we know, shukr to Allāh ﷻ, is that these are great miracles, great things. A gift to our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam.
May Allāh ﷻ make them perpetual upon us always. Those who believe, those who have īmān, are granted that blessing, that virtue. They are granted the virtue of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam. Those who do not believe are already the playthings of shayṭān. They say, “It was like this, it was like that.” An unbeliever says so, but you mustn’t resemble the unbeliever. An unbeliever would say, “It’s impossible, etc.”
People today say it’s possible because of their īmān. But there are some who call themselves Muslims and say, “It was a dream, it was this, it was that.” Those are people with no īmān. A person who has īmān knows with truth and certainty the rank of our Prophet ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam, believes in him ﷺ, and follows his ﷺ way. May Allāh ﷻ not turn us away from that way, and may He ﷻ keep us steadfast, in shā’a Llāh.
Today, in shā’a Llāh, we have a journey [to England]. We are going again to our brothers, to places where Mawlānā Shaykh Nāẓim have established there, serving the whole world. There are brothers, those who remained, newcomers, and those who have passed away. It is necessary to always be together, in both dunyā and ākhirah.
With that intention, in shā’a Llāh, we set out on this journey. May this journey, in shā’a Llāh, be a means of good. May we go and return in goodness. May it be good for all of us, in shā’a Llāh. Wa min Allāh ﷻ at-Tawfiq.
Al-Fatiha.
