Safeguarding Faith and Tawhid in the Land of Arkhabil: Defending Against Internal Threats

"Safeguarding Faith and Tawhid in the Land of Arkhabil: Defending Against Internal Threats"

Prophet Khidr (AS) came to me and said:

"O Ahmad, be patient and follow Allah's command this month. Did I not journey with you to the land of Malacca? It is easy for Allah to place you among them by His ways. Do not feel weak or embarrassed to ask them to obey you. Your noble grandfather, Muhammad, once instructed his companions to set regulations and obligations in trade. Tell your followers in that land that Allah has granted the opportunity for eleven of them to engage in five out of the eleven trades that Allah has commanded. Indeed, Allah will open the path to success if they are among those who persevere.

O Ahmad, did I not tell you not to omit anything from the messages I commanded you to write? Did I not tell you to include the phrase that 'Allah has created a traveling star for you, shaped like a boat bearing the inscription "Ahmad Al-Makhfy"? Yet, you left it out in the previous message, and now your illness is due to your reluctance to write it. So write it down again today as proof of the truth of the messages you convey. And Allah will reaffirm that traveling star in the sky, so the arrogant scholars may witness it. Truly, Allah will inscribe eleven rainbows in the sky when you fulfill the trade instructions with the sincerity of your followers, as you seclude yourself in the place I designate. Leave your wives for a while to be in seclusion. This is the path to gaining Allah's pleasure for the trades your followers will undertake, until Allah opens trade opportunities in five lands. Such a thing is easy for Allah to accomplish; He is the Most Compassionate, the Most Generous.

O Ahmad, tell your followers that those who steal knowledge from you are appointed by Allah as followers of Satan. Indeed, Satan once stole knowledge of the heavens until Allah created Suwazand Nukhash as guards with arrows to protect the heavens. Tell them, do they think they will gain fame by stealing knowledge from you? No! Allah will lay burdens upon their chests because of the falsehoods they create, just as He has humiliated those liars in your land who claim to have met me directly and that I ordered them to choose a leader who would gain victory. But Allah humbled them by withholding victory from their chosen leader. Truly, Allah will disgrace those who lie in my name and the name of your noble grandfather, Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah. They will find dead-ends in every attempt at fame; some will be returned to their original (low and impoverished) state, and others will be burdened with suffering and calamity, that they may repent and return to the true path.

O Ahmad, Allah is the Lord who created the universe and all within it. Every creation is distinct and never the same as the Creator. How reckless and lowly are those who say that the Light of Allah is the Light of Muhammad, and the Light of Muhammad is the Light of Allah. Truly, they are disbelievers, those who have long sought to destroy faith and Islam by studying it themselves and spreading such claims. This is the work of Dajjal and Satan's followers to weaken the faith and Islam in the hearts of the followers of the noble Prophet Muhammad. Covering the private parts differs greatly from merely veiling the face with silk while the private parts remain uncovered. This is a metaphor for the followers of the noble Prophet who pursue the paths of tariqa (mysticism) and gnosis without proper knowledge of shariah. The leaders of the land of Arkhabil must take heed of this. And let the leaders of the land of Arkhabil realize that the early science of Tawhid was recorded by your grandfather's noble companion in Madinah, Malik bin Anas, and I, Balya bin Malkan, appreciate his works. Indeed, Abu Hasan Al-Ash'ari wrote similarly, beautifying it with writings that never stray from the teachings of your grandfather’s noble companions and wives, Muhammad. Let the scholars of the land of Arkhabil hold firmly to this Tawhid, so that the hidden enemies of the true religion will not weaken the faith of the end-time believers. Thus, they will fortify the true religion upon the land of Arkhabil.

O Ahmad, do not once again omit any of what I have conveyed to you and must be relayed in your writings. Doing so will draw Allah’s love upon you. Do not feel reluctant to convey commands to your followers out of embarrassment or fear of hurting their feelings. Speak the truth, even if it is bitter for you to swallow. Truly, it is easy for Allah to replace followers with others more obedient, willing to follow commands even if they must tread upon thorns and fire. For the world will submit to Allah's devoted and pious servants, and the world will turn away from those who are heedless and careless.

O Ahmad, go quickly to the seashore today. Do you not hear the longing of the mountains and the sea? Go into seclusion! After you have completed your worldly matters today, such as fulfilling five of the eleven trades."

Ahmad F. bin Abdullah A. Syams
