WHAT DOES ONE DO WHEN ONE LIVES IN A PLACE AND TIME, LIKE THE ONE WE LIVE IN TODAY, WHERE MURABBIS ARE DIFFICULT TO COME BY?
IMG-20160414-WA0020

Sayyidina al-Imam al-Arif Billah Abdul Rahman bin Mustafa Al-Aydarus – may Allah benefit us by him – says: Indeed the murabbiyyun (guiding teachers) have all but disappeared at the end of times and the seeker does not arrive at ma’rifah (intimate knowledge) of Allah except by sending much salutations upon the Prophet ﷺ. In accumulating one’s (good) deeds; some are accepted and some are rejected except for the salutations sent upon the Prophet ﷺ – all of it is unconditionally accepted as it as an honour for him ﷺ (and not necessarily for the person making the salutation). The scholars of Islam have related meanings similar to this one.

Al-Habib Abu Bakr Al-Adniy bin Ali Al-Masyhur encourages making this salutations formula in the month of Rabi’ul Awwal 1438H:

ٱلْلٰهُمَّ يَا مَنْ بِكَ الأَكْوَانُ قَامَتْ
O Allah, by whom all that exist exists,

والأَزَلِيَّةُ دَامَتْ
and (by whom) Eternality persists,

والأَبَدِيَّةُ ٱسْتَدَامَتْ
and (by whom) Endlessness goes on,

صَلِّ عَلَىٰ نَبِيِّكَ المُصْطَفَىٰ
salutations be upon Your prophet, The Chosen One ﷺ,

سَيِّدِ الأُمَّةِ المُقْتَفَىٰ
Master of the Exemplary Nation ﷺ,

حَامِلِ رَايَةِ الدِّينِ المَنْشُورَةِ
the carrier of the outstretched flag of the religion ﷺ

في أَدْنَىٰ وأَقَاصِي المَعْمُورَةِ
which has spread to the far reaches of the earth

يَشْفِي ٱللّٰهُ بِهِ السَّقَمَ
(by these salutations, we ask that) Allah heals by him (Rasulullah ﷺ) illness

ويَدْفَعُ النِّقَمَ
and that He wards off malice

ويُحْيِي الرِّمَمَ
that He gives life to what is lifeless

ٱلْلٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ في كُلِّ وَقْتٍ وَحَالٍ
O Allah, send salutations upon him ﷺ in each time and condition,

وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ النُّجُومِ اللآلِ
and (likewise) upon the members of his exalted family,

وأَصْحَابِهِ الأَمَاجِدِ الأَبْطَالِ
and (likewise) upon his glorious, formidable companions

إلىٰ يَوْمِ المَآلِ
continuously until the Day of Resurrection

وأَكْرِمْنَا ٱلْلٰهُمَّ في شَهْرِ مِيلَادِهِ بِالقَبُولِ
O Allah, honour us in the month of his birth with acceptance

وحُصُولِ السُّولِ وَالمَأْمُولِ
and the attainment of desires and hopes

في كُلِّ ما تُحِبُّهُ وَتَرْضَاهُ يا كَرِيمُ
in all that You love and are pleased with, O Generous One

وَسَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً
and may bountiful external peace be upon them all

عَدَدَ خَلْقِكَ وَرِضَاءَ نَفْسِكَ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِكَ

to the number of Your creations, to the extent of Your pleasure, to the weight of Your throne, and the vastness of Your Words [*]

Nasihat Habib Abu Bakr Bagi Ilmuwan

Diantara kewajipan ulama’ serta ilmuan dari para pemerintah dan yang memegang urusan ilmu dan agama; hendaklah meletakkan amanah pada tempatnya dengan berusaha sedaya mungkin untuk mengembalikan ikatan keimanan diantara aliran-aliran, jemaah-jemaah, kumpulan-kumpulan dan puak-puak atas dasar prinsip yang disepakati bersama.

One is not a true seeker of knowledge if one doesn’t have an a routine of tasks (wazifah pl. wazaif) allocated for his time. Know that such a person (who doesn’t have wazaif) is not a true seeker of knowledge. If we plan our tasks well, we will reap the fruits of our labour and know that the greatest of times is the last part of the night. Ask yourselves about your conditions at the end of the night? At this time there is a special gift, a special gaze (nazr), a special merit to be granted; so be from among the special people to Allah s.w.t (ahl al-khususiyyah) and preserve your remembrances (zikr pl. azkar) and your mandatory duties (wird pl. awrad).

The Degrees of Fasting

Posted on by
Reply

The Degrees of Fasting extracted from Habib Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Aydarus’s Ramadhan compendium, Ramadhan Lessons for the Muhammadan Nation (Ad-Durus ar-Ramadhaniyyah lil-Ummah al-Muhammadiyyah)

Muhammad Al-Aydarus

Imam Al-Ghazali (may Allah be pleased with him) says, “Know that fasting is of three degrees:

  • The Fast of the Masses (Sawm al-Umum)
  • The Fast of the Elite (Sawm al-Khusus)
  • The Fast of the Elect of the Elite (Sawm Khusus al-Khusus)

The Fast of the Masses (Sawm al-Umum) is leave of the stomach and the genitals from fulfilling desires whilst the Fast of the Elite (Sawm al-Khusus) is leave of the hearing, the sight, the tongue, the hands, the feet, and all the different body parts from sin. As for the Fast of the Elect of the Elite (Sawm Khusus al-Khusus), it is the fasting of the heart from worldly concerns and worldly thoughts – leave from everything except Allah, Mighty and Majestic, in completeness.”

It is narrated that al-Hasan al-Basri had passed by a group of people who were laughing merrily and said:

إن الله جعل في شهر رمضان مضمارًا لخلقه يستبقون فيه لطاعته، فسبق قوم ففازوا، وتخلف أقوام فخابوا، فالعجب كل العجب للضاحك اللاعب في اليوم الذي فاز فيه المسابقون وخاب فيه المبطلون

Editor’s note:

The people of Tarim are known to extol Ramadhan by exerting their bodies and hearts in worship of Allah throughout its days and nights – completing the Qur’an recital several times in a single Ramadhan, and constantly occupying themselves in zikr (remembrance), supererogatory solah (the recommended, non-obligatory ritual prayer), and doa (supplications).

Traditionally, the mosques of Tarim hold Tarawih at different times of the night between Isha’ and Subuh. This tradition allows the people of Tarim to perform Tarawih at different mosques within their blessed city each night in Ramadhan. Hence, it is not uncommon to find Tarimis performing 100 rakaats of Tarawih or more every night. May Allah help us emulate the people of Tarim in giving Ramadhan its due, wherever we may be. Amin.
