Understanding Allah's Power in the Creation of Dogs
Prophet Khidr came to me and said:
O Ahmad, write down all my words!
O Ahmad, what is holding you back from meeting me at the edge of the sea?
What is preventing you from fulfilling the command to gather the provisions you need, so that you may immediately carry out everything I have taught you? Hasn’t the place for you to work and learn already been prepared by your followers? And hasn’t Allah proven that what you and your followers have endeavored to achieve has yielded good results? Truly, do not delay your duties any longer.
O Ahmad, isn’t witnessing Allah’s supreme power on your boat sufficient for you, such that two orthopedic doctors said, ‘Indeed, your followers are not mere humans but machines’? How could bones that were broken and damaged be restored as though no accident had ever occurred?
Declare it! Truly, it is Allah who commands both you and me, such that Allah reunites the broken bones perfectly. That is how Allah easily demonstrates how, on the Day of Resurrection, humans who have turned to dust and bones will be effortlessly reassembled and recreated by Him in perfection.
He is Allah, the Most Mighty, the Most Glorious, who revealed the Quran and sent forth your noble grandfather, Muhammad SAW. Are they still in doubt?
O Ahmad, truly disgraceful are those who are merely astonished by you and me because of stories about a person who was revived from death by your touch, or the tale of two of your followers whose diseased hearts Allah replaced with new ones just a year ago, along with other stories from your boat. Yet, those who read or hear these stories remain merely amazed, without increasing their piety or faith in Allah and His Messenger.
Declare it!
It is Allah who wills everything that happens on your boat, and He is Allah, the Most Praiseworthy, the Creator of all things.
O Ahmad, I see Sittir, the son of Iblis, circling your homes. Be patient with whatever Allah is testing you with. Indeed, those under your care are there by Allah’s will. Do not feel worried or saddened; surely Allah will bless anyone who feeds and shelters the poor and guarantees the well-being of orphans. Truly, you and your wife are servants of Allah chosen by Him to set an example for your followers. Has not Allah declared that behind every trial lies wisdom and ease? This is for His servants who wisely carry out His commands (prayers) after being preoccupied with worldly matters.
To Allah alone do His servants place their hopes (for both worldly and eternal wealth).
O Ahmad, do not be anxious about your reunion with your followers in your homeland. Truly, Allah has conveyed to me that, just as your followers eagerly anticipate that moment, Allah, the Most Glorious and Most Majestic, will send down rain as a sign of His mercy. Indeed, your noble grandfather, Muhammad SAW, will again appear in the dreams of some of your followers at that place, until signs appear in a third of the sky of the world and signs similar to your first meeting with your followers.
Be patient, and Allah will once more grant healing to those who are ill. This is a sign of Allah’s power and His manifest mercy.
O Ahmad, remain as Al-Makhfiy,
and declare: ‘I, Ahmad Fahmi bin A. Syams, bring only news, advice, and
warnings. And declare that it is Allah who wills and has power over all His
creations’. And say, “Praise Allah and serve Him alone.”
O Ahmad, go to where I am now, and tell your wives that it is Allah who enables your journey, and all is not by your own will. Have good thoughts about Allah, and show compassion to the poor and orphans under your care.
O Ahmad, ignore those who insult you along with your dogs. Indeed, they will witness Allah’s power in the creation of dogs in their lands. Truly, Allah will create even more monkeys and pests (like pigs and rats) so that humans may understand the interconnectedness of all creation, which must not be severed.
Do they not realize...?
· That your noble grandfather, Muhammad SAW, was forbidden by Allah from harming or neglecting a small dog under his bed?
· Have they not heard the story of the mother dog and her puppies whom Rasulullah forbade his companions and followers from harming or removing?
· Or have they not heard about a dog that sacrificed itself to save a baby who was trapped in a burning bedroom?
· Rasulullah SAW forbade his people from branding dogs and other animals with heated iron marks.
Indeed, those who insult you act as if they do not walk upon the earth and as if they touch the heavens when they stand, believing they have attained purity of self, while their feet are bound by chains that lead to Sijjin (Hell). Such is the state of those arrogant about their intellect and quick to mock with their words.
Be patient. Truly, Allah delights
in proving what they cannot comprehend with their intellect through the events
on your boat. Allah has conveyed to me that your follower, who has been
perfected by Allah after a calamity, should speak and share their story,
showcasing Allah’s greatness through what happened on your boat. They must be
patient and share their tale wisely, truthfully, and constantly with the
remembrance of Allah, praising Him.
O Ahmad, tell your followers who are prominent in trade to immediately fulfill their obligations and be patient in doing so.
-Ahmad F. Bin A. AlwiSyams-
