The Musk Fragrance Beloved by Our Prophet&The Long Earth Fissure
Prophet Khidr (AS) came to me while I
was asleep. Then he said:
"Rise, O Ahmad, and prostrate
towards the Qibla, as you usually do, ..."
"O Ahmad, truly Allah, the Almighty,
despises His servants who oppress His creations and belittle what He has
created. He also despises His servants who lie with arrogance and mix falsehood
with the knowledge He has bestowed. Indeed, Allah greatly loves His servants
who are patient and seek the knowledge of the true nature of His
creations."
"O Ahmad, do you know who the
liars filled with arrogance are? They are those who will become the inhabitants
of Hellfire. Write this down, and do not conduct yourself in such a manner in
business dealings. Indeed, Allah has permitted trade and forbidden usury. Has
not the entire Ummah of the Noble Prophet Muhammad understood the ruling on
usury? Yet, some of them unknowingly lie in their transactions through their
words, leading Allah to record them among those guilty of usury. And some of
these individuals are scholars in your land."
"O Ahmad, truly your
grandfather, the Noble Prophet Muhammad, loved the fragrances of musk and
patchouli derived from trees and not from animals. Indeed, Allah and His
Messenger have long forbidden their servants from committing acts of cruelty,
as was done by the civilizations before Rome and the Romans. They would sever
the heads and necks of livestock, leaving the animals to live or die without
care or treatment... until the population of certain deer species dwindled.
Then, your grandfather prohibited such acts. Verily, Allah has created trees
that provide superior fragrances. You must understand this."
"O Ahmad, business transactions
will not be free from the sin of usury unless you understand its rulings and
guard your speech in trade. The terms of agreement must be carefully observed
to ensure they are free from deceit. Indeed, a person becomes one of the
usurers if they excessively praise their merchandise and mix deceit into their
dealings. Such individuals are among the consumers and perpetrators of usury.
Truly, disgrace in Hellfire awaits those who don the garments of scholars but
speak lies about their trade goods, blending religion with business while seeking
only worldly gain. Verily, Allah will punish them with humiliation in this
world and with a painful torment in the Hereafter. Indeed, they are more
despicable than someone who commits adultery with a donkey."
"O Ahmad, indeed, Allah has
drawn a long and deep fissure in the earth, located in the land of a woman (Ummu
Aiman) who once wisely and tenderly cared for your grandfather, the Noble
Prophet Muhammad, and your grandfather’s companion with dark skin, within whose
heart Allah placed a shining white pearl (the steadfast faith of a companion
named Bilal bin Rabah). Verily, Allah will fill this long fissure with
seawater, serving as a warning to those who oppress the Ummah of the Noble
Prophet Muhammad SAW, and as a reminder to those who transgress boundaries.
Indeed, Ummu Aiman was a righteous woman full of love and compassion for your
grandfather, the Noble Prophet Muhammad."
"O Ahmad, tell your followers to
be mindful of their food and drink, as well as what they provide to trees and
animals. Let them utilize what Allah has created, not what is commonly produced
by those who exceed limits. Indeed, in a tree that you are studying, there are
seven benefits for mankind, and there are seven components that can serve as
its preferred fertilizer. Such are signs of Allah's power, a reminder that
Allah is the Creator of the entire universe and the One who safeguards and
sustains it. Allah has placed in the Quran references to 'seven and seven'...
and He observes all the deeds of His servants."
"O Ahmad, you must clarify and
convey this reminder again. Let not those who believe in Allah and His
Messenger indulge excessively in celebrating the turn of the year, causing
distress to the inhabitants of the heavens with acts of extravagance. Indeed,
Allah's wrath descends upon His servants when they neglect His warnings and
remain heedless. Truly, praising Allah and gathering in their homes in a state
of piety, seeking Allah's protection until dawn, is far better than assembling
on beaches and mountain sides, becoming negligent of prayer, and mingling with
those who openly commit sins on such nights."
"O Ahmad, you must carry out
everything you have undertaken with earnestness, disregarding trials and
tribulations, and diligently studying what you are currently learning alongside
someone wise and knowledgeable. In Allah's view, you and that person are not
the same, just as one who dreams of climbing to the stars through fantasy is
not the same as one who digs tirelessly in a field of gold, sweating with
exhaustion. Let not a person be like one who opens a door but expects to enter
the house without taking a step. Such is the parable of those who despair. You
must be patient and resolute in completing all tasks commanded by Allah, and
you must persevere."
"O Ahmad, indeed, a wise and
skilled individual will come, someone capable of fulfilling all the needs of
your ship in business. You must guard your heart and teach them to be servants
of Allah, generous and using their wealth and knowledge for the benefit of the
Ummah of the final era. Truly, some of them have long observed you and been
with you on your ship, and some will be brought to you by Allah. You must
remain Al-Makhfiy in all circumstances."
"O Ahmad, an elderly woman will
bring blessings into your home, indeed she is a servant of Allah whose
repentance has been accepted, and Allah intends to restore all that she has
lost (her wealth), which was exhausted due to her obedience to her deceased
husband. Your followers must take note of her, and hasten to provide her a place
for her business as she once did. It is your duty to pay attention to her, for
she is the one whom you and some of your followers once freed from her debts.
Indeed, Allah wishes for you to guide her to His path, so she may remain a
righteous servant until the end of her life."
