The Eighth and Ninth of Dhū l-Ḥijjah

Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm

Sohbah on 09th August 2019 by Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil Ar Rabbaniق

As-Salāmu ‘alaykum wa-raḥmatu Llāhi wa-barakātuh.

A‘ūdhu bi-Llāhi mina sh-shayṭāni r-rajīm. Bismi Llāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Aṣ-ṣalātu wa-s- Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-awwalīna wa-l-ākhirīn. Madad yā Rasūla Llāh, madad yā Sādātī Aṣḥābi Rasūli Llāh, madad yā Mashāyikhanā, dastūr Mawlānā Shaykh ‘Abdu Llāh al-Fā’iz ad-Dāghistānī Shaykh Muḥammad Nāẓim al-Ḥaqqānī. Madad.

Ṭarīqatuna ṣ-ṣuḥbah, wa-l-khayru fi l-jam’iyyah.

We have these blessed days now. And tomorrow is the day of Tarwiyah. The day afterwards is ‘Arafah. Yawmu t-Tarwiyah is the 8th of Dhū l-Ḥijjah, a day before ‘Arafah. Both are holy days. Showing respect to them and making worship brings big profit. People in this world want to become rich immediately. So showing respect to these days and praying during them is so profitable that it remains permanently.

Even before they die they, many people they finish what they have. Some of them stay rich until they die. But when they die, they cannot take anything with them to the next life. But what Allāh جل جلاله rewards us and gives us this reward for these holy days, blessed days, it is forever. Especially, 8th of Dhū l-Ḥijjah and 9th of Dhū l- Ḥijjah – Yawmu t-Tarwiyah wa Yawmu ‘Arafāh. 

Who fasts on the day of ‘Arafah, his sins are forgiven a year ahead and behind. For Yawmu t-Tarwiyah, your sins of the last year are forgiven.

Sins are a burden, trouble, and disaster. In order to get rid of the sins of this world, our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم always used to say make tawbah so that Allāh جل جلاله forgives you. People sin throughout the day. We are sinning, knowing or not knowing. Therefore, this is the chance for those sins to be forgiven.

In shā’a Llāh, who can fast can do so tomorrow, on the 8th and the 9th. Both days are within the ten days of Dhū l-Ḥijjah fasting. Fasting before that is also virtuous, but the most virtuous are Yawmu t-Tarwiyah and ‘Arafah, tomorrow and the day after. 

And especially on ‘Arafah, we should recite one thousand Ikhlāṣ Sharīf. People give ṣadaqah. Sometimes some people make qurbān. Before cutting on ‘Īdu l-Aḍḥá, ‘Arafah is also a holy day. If other qurbān animals are sacrificed on ‘Arafah, it is also lots of rewards. May Allāh جل جلاله bless it.

In sha’a Llāh, Allāh جل جلاله accept our ibādā and there is in yawm – after tomorrow we must read 1000 times Sūratu l-Ikhlāṣ, “Qul huwa Llāhu Aḥad.” And 1000 times lā ilāha illā Llāh Muḥammadur Rasūlu Llāh ṣallá Llāhu ‘alayhi wa-sallam and 1000 times ṣalawāt also, for sake of these days. And other what you can read – from Qur’ān, from Sūrah, from… you can do.

As much you can do, it is good. Allāh جل جلاله reward us, in shā’a Llāh. And, in shā’a Llāh, we hope to be also next year with these good days, but to be better for whole world with Prophet’s صلى الله عليه وسلم grandson, Sayyidunā l-Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām to be with him and to see these good days. 

Mawlānā he is saying for us every time, “You must make du‘ā’ praying for Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām to come.” Therefore, don’t forget. We don’t forget, in shā’a Llāh. We hope every time that next year we will be with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām. We will always hope, in shā’a Llāh, because the condition of dunyā doesn’t look good.

As the days are passing, it is becoming worse. It is not getting better. And the result of its worsening, with Allāh’s جل جلاله permission, is that events will occur that are promised by Allāh جل جلاله and our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. Qiyāmah is near. In shā’a Llāh, it is close. 

May Allāh جل جلاله let us reach those good days with Mahdī ‘alayhi s-salām and with ‘Īsá ‘alayhi s- salām, in shā’a Llāh.

Al-Fatiha.
