Maulana reveals the Greatest Name of Allah

A’uzubillah himinsh shaitan nirrajeem

Bismillahir Rahman-nir Raheem

Assalamu’alaikum wrh wbkt

• Maulana reminds us to spare some time daily for our spiritual development, for our afterlife. We must focus on this aspect of our lives, and try to attain an understanding of Divine knowledge and support.

• We must recite A’uzubillahiminasy syaitan nirrajeem constantly, as that takes us away from Shaitan, for he represents all that is filthy, ugly, evil and disgusting. Every single evil and unacceptable trait of the worst possible behavior, exists within him. These are dangerous weapons in his arsenal, each capable of causing great harm to us, so Maulana reminds us to be always wary of him.

• A single poisoned arrow from shaitan is sufficient to destroy us, just like one bite from a venomous cobra. Everything within shaitan, and emerging from him, is poisonous. It may surprise us that Maulana repeats these warnings almost nightly, but he says, Allah commanded Rasulullah (saw) in the Holy Qur’an,

وَّذَكِّرۡ فَاِنَّ الذِّكۡرٰى تَنۡفَعُ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ‏

And remind (by preaching, O Muhammad {saw}) for verily, the reminding profits the believers (Quran 51:55)

• This advice is also directed at those who inherit from Rasulullah (saw), the Saints. Maulana reminds us to take every opportunity to advise one another, so that we do not forget to be on guard against shaitan. Man must always be reminded about how dangerous an enemy shaitan is, so that he will always seek Divine protection and be alert.

• A single hit from shaitan’s poisoned arsenal, would bring a profound change in your spirituality, often without you realizing it, for it is often a subtle and well disguised hit. After such a calamitous hit, you still look like a human being externally, but spiritually, you have become a devil in disguise. It is shaitan’s aim to dress every human being in such poisoned clothes, so as to cause them to be caught in a web of difficulties and suffering.

• Shaitan cannot allow us to develop spiritually and to achieve a high Station in death, as we will remain at that high level for eternity! We will remain at whatever Maqam we have achieved at the point of death, for eternity, so shaitan wants to bring us to the lowest levels before we die, so that we shall die in disgrace, and remain so for eternity.

• Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, all greatness is hidden in this recitation. If you wish for goodness in this world and in the hereafter, recite it, drink from the Ocean of Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem! Each recitation bring blessings from Allah’s Divine names, Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem, Maulana says these two names contain endless blessings that are poured into our hearts, the magnitude of which, is beyond human comprehension.

• To give us a glimpse into the treasures of Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, Maulana says that, whoever recites it 21 times before sleeping, would be sent to Paradise, if he died in his sleep that night!

• So many people go to Maulana, asking for Maulana’s help and doa because they are stressed. Maulana advises them to read Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. In fact, Maulana says that we go to him for help, only because we have yet to understand the power of Bismillah. Should we have understood, then Bismillah would have brought peace and tranquility into our hearts , it would have been sufficient for us, for all our needs in this world and in the hereafter. It is an Ocean of Light that has no shores, deliberately placed by Allah in this dunia, especially for Man’s needs.

• If you recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem 100 times daily, Allah bestows upon you, more power, an enhanced understanding and renews your strength. He also sends you His protection, and grants all your needs (hajat) for the afterlife. That is why the tongues of believers are always reciting it. If you were to fall into a problem, or if you are trying to remove some evil from yourself, or if you want to climb the ladder of spirituality, it is important to recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem.

• It is strange that Man is chasing this temporary life, which is worthless, despite knowing that each action in this life will be repaid. Recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, and you will be bestowed strength, honour, pleasure, support, protection and success, as it unlocks an Ocean of Divine gifts, for within Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem is hidden the Ismul A’zam, the Greatest Name of Allah.

• Man was created with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, so it strengthens you against evil influences. It removes fear from you and raises your Maqam. So befriend Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem.

• Shaitan tries his utmost to make you forget the recitation of Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, and he tries to remove your faith in its power, so that you would not be motivated to recite it. Shaitan teaches Man to disregard and to disrespect Bismillah. Begin every act with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, and evil cannot touch you here and in the hereafter. Every act that is started without Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, is cut off from Allah’s help. You must have faith in the hidden power of Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, it contains hidden power oceans and mercy oceans, it is truly the greatest Divine gift for Man, so teach your children to recite it from young.

• Man’s heart is like stone now, he is indifferent towards Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. In reality, stones, together with all plants and animals, recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. Only Man is forgetful of having to do so!

• Every meal that is started with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem is sweet and tasty, makes you healthy and strengthens you, and will lengthen you life. There is no need for expensive supplements to keep you young and healthy or to prolong life – Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem is sufficient!

• If Man were to believe in the power of Bismillah, and perform the recitation of Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, this world would be transformed 100%, this would be a world without suffering or problems, there would be no quarrels, sadness or stress! Hunger and thirst can be removed with its recitation, even anger and darkness of the heart. Your enemies are powerless before you, when you recite it, the door to the solution of every problem opens with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. Even if you fell into a deep ocean, cry out, “Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, Ya Allah, help me, I am in difficulties,” and He will save you.

• You must perform it, so that you may taste for yourself, its blessings, and develop an understanding of its treasures within your soul, until eventually, you are overcome by the Glory and Splendour of Allah, and you fall into prostration, in awe of Him.

• Instead of complaining and worrying all the time, especially in this time of the economic crisis, recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem, there is no problem that is big in comparison to its blessings.

• Even if you were penniless, and all you had was a piece of dried bread, and you recited Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem with sincerity and understanding and ate the bread, Allah would remove your cares and make you happy and contented.

• People today chase after shaitan, instead of running from him. They take his advice and teachings, not realizing that all his advice is evil, while all Allah’s advice, is a great blessing for Man, bringing endless happiness and pleasure to him. So do take this advice, and recite Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. After all, Maulana says, its free to try, so go ahead and do so, and every need (hajat) of yours will be attended to!

• Today, you have learnt something more valuable than gold! Worldly treasures will leave you one day, but the benefits of reciting Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem will be with you for eternity, you will be in endless happiness and ecstasy. Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem removes your sadness in this world and in the hereafter, so save yourself with Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem.

• We are in difficult times, but do stop complaining. Darkness will be removed from your heart, sadness with be removed from your soul, and a special light will enter your hearts, by reciting Bismillah hirrahman nirraheem. It will grant you every one of your needs here and in the hereafter!

Fatihah.
