The Wisdom of Patience and Gratitude & The Alignment of Stars and the Moon

 

Prophet Khidr appeared to me and said:

O Ahmad,

I bring you glad tidings from Allah, the Exalted. There is no difference between those who are able to attend and those who are unable due to unavoidable circumstances. Indeed, a woman’s obedience to her husband opens Allah’s pleasure upon both her and her spouse. Let them be grateful and patient.

 

O Ahmad,

Did your father not witness how a coconut tree bowed beside your grandfather’s house when you were just born? You had barely been alive for two days when your mother wept, thinking you would not survive, and those around her believed the same. Your father assumed the tree was dying and would collapse. Yet Allah, in His wisdom, intended to give a sign to your father on the day of your birth, commanding the tree to bow so its fruits could be easily plucked to bathe you that Friday. Allah breathed life into you and granted you existence. Therefore, it is unbecoming for you to harbor fear or arrogance. Allah instructed me to tell your mother to bathe you with coconut water as an expression of gratitude.

O Ahmad,

Allah wishes to bestow His blessings upon some of your followers who are ill, granting them health and strength when they meet you at that appointed place. He has aligned His creations in the heavens as a sign of His approval for the many poor, orphans, and needy who will share a meal with you. Do not worry, for it is Allah who suffices all needs in that place. He is the Most Generous and Compassionate. Be just to everyone present.

 

O Ahmad,

Reduce your sleep and your food intake during that time. Act as your noble grandfather, Muhammad (SAW), treated his guests—with care and humility. Ensure you rest adequately, but keep your time on the pulpit brief that night. Sitting with the followers of the Noble Prophet (SAW) and showing kindness among them is more valuable than standing on the pulpit for too long.

 

O Ahmad,

I have heard about the slander against you. Who protects you and them? Be patient, for Allah is the Most Powerful over you and them. In time, they will understand. None knows the moment when Allah’s guidance will descend—not you, nor I. Remember, some of those who once intended harm against your noble grandfather, Muhammad (SAW), are now in Allah’s presence as martyrs. Allah is the Ultimate Authority over those who mock and slander you. Be steadfast, and encourage your followers to do the same. Do they think you seek a reward for what Allah has commanded you? If that is their assumption, they will one day bow their heads in shame before Allah, with no return to the world possible. Fulfill what has been decreed for you and ignore what holds no benefit for your afterlife.

O Ahmad,

Among the rows of stars and the moon that align on that day, it is Allah, the Exalted, who holds power over all His creations. This is a reminder for the followers of the Noble Prophet Muhammad (SAW) to align their hearts, faith, and deeds towards the love and mercy of Allah. It is also a warning to stay away from enmity, oppression, and sinfulness on this earth. These are signs from Allah for those who reflect with wisdom.

 

O Ahmad,

Reward those who assist you at the event venue (KAZ). As one of your followers has suggested, do not overlook your companions who have worked sincerely to fulfill their tasks. Ensure they have proper food, drink, and rest. Be present among them while they work, even if it’s just to bring them joy with a smile. Your presence will inspire and motivate them as they prepare the venue. This humility will protect you from arrogance and draw the love of your noble grandfather, Muhammad (SAW).

 

A leader most beloved by Allah is one who honors and cares for those under his leadership. Indeed, the Fire is the final destination for leaders who are arrogant, lazy, harsh, and foul-mouthed. On the Day of Resurrection, they will be raised in the ranks of Pharaoh and Iblis, bound together in chains of blazing fire.
