بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اَللّهُِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Excerpts taken from a discourse ‘on the Night of Me’raj _ 2012’
…
On this momentous occasion, Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam was in the Court of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala…It was physical experience (body and soul)…It was not a dream…A time exclusive for the Lover and His Beloved…Whilst enjoying that close proximity to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala, our Beloved Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam did not forget us (His Ummah)…Yet we have forgotten His sacrifices for us!
We are consumed by the ephemeral things of this world…We become oblivious of who we are! Why are we in this world? We have forgotten our status. Our position in the eyes of Allah!…We have forgotten that we are the beloved Ummati’s of Rasulullah Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam! What are we doing to his Sunnats, if we are not trampling over them…Are we not guilty of ignoring His beautiful way of life (Sunnats)?
Allah inspired Him …Allah spoke to Him … Our minds may not be able to comprehend that in such a short space of time, how a person could travel to ‘Bayt al-Maqdis’, the ‘Seven Heavens’ and the ‘Court of Allah’ and return within minutes…How is that possible? … A simple explanation … Allah is the creator of time …. Allah is the controller of time. Allah does not have to surrender to time. Time surrenders to Allah. Time is the creation of Allah. Allah has full control over time. Allah has taken an oath on time. If Allah wished to make it possible…Allah did so…We have to accept wholeheartedly and not base our rejection and accepting of these things merely on our reasoning. Otherwise we will deviate from Siraatul Mustaqeem…
We need to become more loyal in our servitude to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala…
