Shaykh Adnan Kabbaniق: Blessings on the Eve of 16th of Ramadan The Night of Sahib Az-Zaman Sayyidina Mahdi (AS)

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

The eve of the 16th of Ramadan is a very precious night to the AwliyaAllah. It is known as the eve of Sahib az-Zaman, Sayyidina al-Mahdi (AS). On this night, Allah Almighty grants him a special honour, allowing all Awliya to meet with him. He will spiritually dress all the Awliya, including the Ghawth and Qutbs, for the coming fifteen days in the Diwan ar-Rasulullah ﷺ. Rasulullah ﷺ will order Sahib az-Zaman (AS) to hold a great meeting with all Awliya and inform them of what is to come.

What Allah Almighty has decreed and what Allah Almighty will dress upon the nation of Rasulullah ﷺ, the children of Adam (AS), the angels, and the jinn, and whatever Allah ﷻ wills to be dressed on Laylatul Qadr, will be decided on this night.

From Allah Almighty to Rasulullah ﷺ, from Rasulullah ﷺ to Sahib az-Zaman (AS), and from Sahib az-Zaman (AS) to all Awliya who exist in this life, they will be informed on this night. Sahib az-Zaman (AS) will convey this to all Awliya.

Grandshaykh Abdullahق used to say that this night is very important, as Allah Almighty changes it in a way similar to how the gearbox of a car is changed. The gearbox of the month of Ramadan is changed tonight, from the first fifteen days to the second fifteen days. From this night onward, the lights, rewards, and maqamat that Allah opens are completely different from the first day of Ramadan until this night.

From this night, the Awliya begin ascending to the Diwan of Rasulullah ﷺ to meet Sahib az-Zaman (AS). They are given information and spiritually dressed for what they will activate within the Ummah during the coming fifteen days. This year is very special. What has been opened has never been opened before, which are the lights descending during these days from the Oceans of the Greatest Name of Allah Almighty directly.

Whoever performs the Taraweeh and Witr prayers on this night and makes Duʿa al-Qunoot, Allah Almighty will dress him through the angels with what will be dressed upon the Ummah on Laylatul Qadr.

This eve of the 16th is different from previous years, as it comes directly from Allah Almighty, then from Rasulullah ﷺ, then from Sahib az-Zaman (AS), and then from all Awliya to the Ummah.

This night opens the lights of the Greatest Name of Allah Almighty in relation to the last ten days of this year and Laylatul Qadr. It is for those who observed the month in fasting and performed Taraweeh and Witr. The one who waits and connects himself well with the Divine Presence of Sahib az-Zaman (AS) will share in the gathering of Awliya that takes place from Maghrib until Fajr.

The Taraweeh of this night will be conducted in the First Heaven by the Imamah of Sahib az-Zaman, Sayyidina al-Mahdi (AS), for all Awliya present on this Earth. During the Witr prayer, he will make Duʿa al-Qunoot, and Allah Almighty will reveal to him all that will occur until the end of the month.

Especially regarding Laylatul Qadr, when it will occur and on which night, he will order the Awliya who serve the Ummah to dress them with these lights, salaams from Allah Almighty, and endless rewards.
