The Ascension

Ater traversing through Paradise, he ﷺ was shown Hell such that he ﷺ was still in Paradise but the veil was lifted over Hell so that he ﷺ could see it then it was once again veiled from him ﷺ and he ﷺ returned to Sidratul Muntahaa (Bayhaqi).

After his ﷺ return from the Mihraaj, The Messenger ﷺ was fragranced with the fragrance of a groom - indeed, it was even sweeter than the bride's fragrance (Ibn Mardawayh).

The Messenger's ﷺ concern for his Ummah... verses are revealed...

"The one who loves my Sunnah loves me ﷺ, Indeed, the one who loves me ﷺ will (then) be with me ﷺ in " Paradise (Ibn Assakir).

And what of those who imbibe the Sunnah?

Hafiz Ibn al-Jawzee (rah) had related,

"The person who always starts with the right foot when wearing shoes and: starts with the left foot when taking them off will then remain safe from the disease of the spleen (Hayaat Ul-Hayean).

As a boy he ﷺ would arise bright-eyed and his hair would be in place (Al Bidaya).

The Ascension-

Sidratul Muntaha, covered in golden butterflies...

Terminates everything that ascends from the earth and is held there & terminates everything that descends from above it and is held there (Muslim).

When it was enveloped by Allah's (SWT) Commands (from above), it transformed further and acquired hues colours that I ﷺ did nol recognize - such that no one amongst Allah's (SWT) creation would be able to describe its beauty (Bukhari).

Knowledge of Allah SWT is limited so one can enjoy life.

A group of people ask about the Origins of The Universe...

"There was Allah (SWT) and there was nothing before Him, or with Him or other than Him (SWT)

(Bukhari).

Islamic theology posits that God (SWT) is eternal and uncreated -for otherwise you would run into the problem of infinite regress (ie this came from this, and then that came from this, etc forever) and (hence) this world would thus have never been created (ie for the "1 domino would never have fallen" to start the whole process of creation), A Helwa.

The Throne is created from red rubies and its diameter is of 500,00 years from end to end (Ibn Abee Shaibah).

"Allah (SWT) Created 4 things by His Hand (ie in a special honoured way); The Throne, The Pen, (Garden of) Eden and Adam (A.S.). He (SWT) then said to the rest of creation "Be" and it was (Haakim).

Tawheed - The Non Negotiable

The 3 Registers of Allah SWT, missing various deeds such as fasting or salaah; social sins; association of partners to Allah SWT.

Shirik affects the trees and other parts of the creation.

O Allah SWT you created the creation and then You (SWT) put them in, what's the wisdom of this...

I SWT will (also) put into the Fire the one with no good (ie who associates partners with My Glorious Self) (Abu Nu'aym).

We did make for every Prophet (as) enemies from amongst the devils of men and the devils of Jinn - who have been inspiring one another with the golden ornamentation speech of delusion...(Surah 6:112).

One of the signs of His true servants is...

Those who are fond of My love just as the boy is fond of people's love (Bayhaqi)

And...

Those who help one another in struggling for My sake (Tirmidhi).

"The more the servant loves his Master (SWT) then the less will he love otker objects- thus they will decrease in number.

The less the servant loves his Master (SWT) then the more he will love other objects thus they will increase in number. "

(Majmoo Fataawah).

All people go to Allah (SWT) after their death, but the happy person is the one who goes to Allah (SWT) whilst still alive (Timeless Seeds Of Advice).

Remember Me (SWT) in which I have commanded you- then I (SWT) will remember you regarding what I have compelled Myself to do for your benefit (ie to reward, forgive and Bless (Ibn Abee Hatim).

"...they forgot Allah (SWT), so He (SWT) forgot them..

(Surah Tawbah 9 : 67).

Haafiz Ibn Qayyeem (rah) had clarified.

"Allah (SWT) has caused His servant to forget the interests of himself and the reason for his happiness, success, prosperity and righteousness. All of this will simply not even cross his mind - thus his determination will be directed towards other (futile and worthless) things.

The servant will be brought on the Day of Judgement and Allah (SWT) will ask him,

Did I not grant you hearing, sight, wealth and children?

Did I not (SWT) also exploit the animals to you, leaving you to to master the earth?

Indeed have you ever even thought of this inevitable Day?

He will reply (ie with shame) in the negative.

Thus Allah (SWT) will say to him, "Today I (SWT) will forget you as you forgot Me (Tirmidhi).

Despair not the Soothing Mercy is Vast

Verily a servant will commit a sin and will enter Paradise by it.

lt will continue to haunt him until he enters Paradise (Nasaee).

A good deed and no sin can be harmful for it produces pride within- just like the Accursed Shaytaan (Abo Nuaym).

Surah 26 The Poets v69-81

The Unique Mandate of Khidir (A.S.).

Prophets Yusuf & Sulayman (A.S) supplicate

"And admit me by thy grace to the ranks of thy righteous servants"

"O Allah, ask You for a sound heart."

Makhmun ul qalb is a pure heart, God-fearing, has no sin, no injustice, no deceit and no jealously, view Surah 26:89.

The Unique Mandate of Khidir (A.S.), his presence turns the earth Green.

Abbul Abbas Balyaa bin Malkaan Al Khidir (A.S.), learn this lineage so that you may leave the world with Faith! (Tafsir Saawee).

Session 12

Hell will be brought near on The Last Day

"and brought [within view], that Day, is Hell'

Jibreel (A.S.) came to me and gave me this verse,'

It was asked, How is it (i.e. Hell) brought

"Seventy thousand Angels will be pulling it; if it goes astray once and if it was left it would burn the people congregated on the plains and everything above it.

The Hell-fire is then exposed, and it says, "..for you, O Muhammad ﷺ Allah SWT has made your flesh

forbidden for me. There's none remaining except saying, Myself Myself,

and The Messenger ﷺ says, 'My Umma (nation), My Ummah.'

Keep company of the pious as they will assist in the world and can intercede in the next.
