"Three stars glorify in the
skies of Malaysia ."
Prophet Khidr AS visited me
amidst my father’s joy
He said:
“O Ahmad, truly I have witnessed
three stars glorifying Allah above the skies of Malacca, and the morning rain
glorifying Him as a sign of the sincerity of your followers in fulfilling their
duties. Tell them, do they think what they are doing is in vain? When Allah has
recorded them among His sincere servants in brotherhood? Tell them, I, Balya
bin Malkan, witnessed them as dawn approached, and one day they will be
reunited in joy after fulfilling three paths of blessings aboard their boats in
their lands. Let them remain firm in strong brotherhood until Allah opens the
path to commerce and the road to blessings. Truly, if they are patient and
attentive to what they observe in that land, they will see the best signs from
the Lord of all worlds.
O Ahmad, Allah will ease the
journey of your two followers to the land of Malacca, carrying three rather
than one. Indeed, the sign in the sky signifies three paths in one purpose. Let
them be patient and heed what you tell them, and let you clearly explain what
they must do to unlock the ‘doors’ of the path toward true blessings. In the
end times, sincerity will appear beautiful on the tongues of hypocrites, while
true sincerity is silent but can be felt by the generous and those with them.
Until the best history is written in this world, making the inhabitants of the
heavens smile with pride at them. Has it not been decreed by Allah, Exalted and
Glorious, that any good deed done on earth will bring happiness to one’s
parents and ancestors in Illiyyin? And righteous children can be a means to
erase the torment of the grave for their deceased parents, except for those
whom Allah caused to die without faith in Allah and the Noble Prophet Muhammad.
Let your followers continue their righteous deeds, donating even a single cent
daily so that Allah considers them among the righteous and charitable. Truly,
Allah does not break His promise to the loyal friend of your grandfather,
Sayyidina Uthman bin Affan, the generous leader of the faithful.
O Ahmad, continue performing your
duties as you have done with patience and sincerity, without speaking much.
Allah knows well all that His servants do. In the end times, many will say, ‘I
do good for Allah and the ummah,’ yet their state is humiliating in Allah’s
eyes because they are arrogant with their 'attire.' I have met over a thousand
scholars adorned in elegant, clean, and pure attire, yet only ten among them
possess speech and deeds free from arrogance, greed, and deceit. Some proudly
'sit' at the same table as officials and the wealthy, and some mingle daily
only with the rich and those of rank. Indeed, Allah will humiliate them and
turn away from them. Did you not deliver the news before? That two large boats
in your land would break apart and sink? Has that not come to pass, with people
condemning one another, proclaiming their purity and righteousness? Tell them!
Their mouths will one day open wide when their eyes witness Allah’s wrath in
their graves. Their clothes, wealth, and rank will be worthless then, as in
life they ignored the cries of the poor, covering their eyes and ears with
arrogance, letting the sins of the people of Sodom and other clear sins seem
unseen and unheard. Indeed, Allah Azza Wa Jalla, will seal every orifice of
their bodies with searing fire in their graves, a painful and grievous
punishment.
O Ahmad, the two for which you
strive and which your friend redeemed are not losses but Allah’s way of testing
them, until the path of commerce, which they have tied in partnership in your
brother’s land, opens. After they return to your homeland, invite your friend
to seek three trade paths in the three places I have informed you about. Then
take him to the seashore to praise Allah and perform a solitary devotion. Allah
will reveal news to him; this is a means of cleansing him from past sins. Let
him be patient, for Allah will facilitate him proving his repentance to his
parents so that the blessings in all he does are free from past interest-based
sins. Allah intends to raise him to a praiseworthy position and to facilitate
his giving a gift to one who has sincerely taught him the true knowledge of
faith.
O Ahmad, tell your wives, is
there still worldly desire in the heart of one whom Allah has journeyed to
Illiyyin and shown Sijjin, then created a star for him, gifted him a plot of
land, and provided him clear signs of his role as a bearer of news from his
Lord? How foolish if there are still those who doubt and call him a liar. Let
those close to you understand and avoid doubt and suspicion regarding all you
do, lest the devils claw and seize their hearts and minds. Tell them that the
cloth draped around your neck is more beautiful in the sight of the inhabitants
of Illiyyin than the turbans around the heads and necks of the deceivers who
use their knowledge to seek worldly pleasure. The time will come when Allah
exposes their shame and punishes them in this world and the hereafter—those who
devour the rights of the poor and orphans using religion as a guise and the
turbans on their heads. Some have already encountered misery, and others have
rotted in their graves.
O Ahmad, do what I have informed
you today, and do not feel burdened to test your wives and some of your
followers as I have told you. Truly, it is not you who tests, but Allah who
wishes to see whether their tongues match their hearts.
O Ahmad, tell your first wife
that her actions in obedience to your Grandfather, the Noble Prophet Muhammad,
gathering all her family and giving in charity without counting the amount, are
openings to the doors of Illiyyin for her parents. Allah will one day show her
tangible proof that her parents reside in a garden from the gardens of
Paradise. Let her be patient and grateful. Allah intends to open the path of
goodness and blessings to her alongside the two women whose names I have
mentioned to you. Let her guard the purity of her bonds with them in business
and trust. Has Allah not subdued great people around one of them? Has she not
planned a trade with a woman in your brother’s land? Let them undertake it this
month so they can easily calculate zakat and fulfill their rights and duties.
O Ahmad, go for four days until
your friend joins to accompany you. Visit those who have just started their
ventures in the place you have already visited, but first go to one who has long
prayed to Allah, desiring your visit to him in Cianjur. Go to him during the
day, then continue your journey to your friends' pond by night. At dawn,
proceed on your journey according to the news I will reveal to you there. Do
not doubt, and do not fear. Allah will punish your wives if they weigh down the
steps of your Hidden One. Allah once placed a heavy burden upon the chest of
your Grandfather’s wife, the Noble Muhammad, until she realized her mistake and
sought forgiveness from your Grandfather, the noble one. Allah then lifted the
burden from his wives' chests, raising their rank to the highest level above
righteous women. She is Lady Hafsah RA, and one of them Allah took at the age
of 63, following the age of your Grandfather, the Noble Prophet, as a sign of
repentance and elevated status in Allah's presence and that of His Messenger.
O Ahmad, tell the followers of
the Noble Prophet Muhammad that you, Ahmad Fahmi bin A. Syams, do not seek
fame, and you are not as they think. Tell them to read or listen to what you
have conveyed and written, and let them observe the tangible signs of Allah’s
greatness bestowed upon you and what is in your 'grasp.' Let them not compare
you with the deceitful, who excessively desire fame, for they are none other
than worshippers of lust and arrogance.
Is not the cool white snow on a
high mountain different from the whiteness of the attractive arum flower that
entices animals, leading some to death by eating it? This is the parable of
those who truly convey news and warning compared to the deceitful.
O Ahmad, write, and do not
diminish anything I have conveyed to you this day.”
- Ahmad F bin Abdullah A Syams
