Today - MAWLID NIGHT (II)

Then, Halîma-i Sa’diyya suckled him for two years. He stayed in the village of Banî Sa’d bin Bakr for two years; then, when he was four years old, he was brought to the city of Mecca. When he began to walk, he used to watch children play; he wouldn’t join the playing. When he was six years old, his mother Âmina passed away, and when he was eight, his grandfather ’Abdul-muttalib passed away. When he was twentyfive years old, he married Hadrat Hadîjah ‘radiy-Allâhu anhâ’. When he was forty years old, in the month of Ramadân on a Monday, as he was in a cave on a mountain that was called Jabali-hirâ and Jabal-i-nûr and which was an hour’s walk north of the city, the angel appeared to him and he was informed that he was the Prophet for all human beings and genies. First, Hadrat Jabrâil came. Then, for three years Hadrat Isrâfil kept coming to teach him. Yet, Isrâfil didn’t bring the Qur’ân al-kerîm. Then, Hadrat Jabrâil began to come and conveyed all of the Qur’ân al-kerîm in twenty years. Jabrâil ‘’alaihis-salâm’ came to him twenty-four thousand times. [By comparison, he had descended to Hadrat Âdam twelve times, to Hadrat Nûh (Noah) fifty times, to Hadrat Ibrâhim forty times, to Hadrat Mûsâ (Moses) four hundred times, and to Hadrat Îsâ ten times.] He didn’t manifest his prophethood for three years, and then, with the command of Allâhu ta’âlâ, he declared it.

Advice of Scholars - TO FEEL SAFE AT DREADFUL PLACES

Hadrat Imâm-i Rabbânî says in the 69th letter of the second volume of his Maktûbât:

Let me add that at dreadful places and when facing the enemy you should recite the sûra of ‘Li îlâfî’ so that you feel safe and comfortable. It has been experienced. Every day and every night you should say it, at least eleven times. A hadîth declares: “If a person who arrives at some places says the prayer ‘A’ûdhu bikalimâtillâhi’ t-tâmmâti min sharri mâ khalaqa’ nothing will harm him until he leaves the place. ” [In order to get rid of something dreadful or to get your wish, you should write from the thirty-seventh âyat up to the end of the thirty-ninth âyat of the sûra of Tâhâ in ink on a sheet of paper, then wrap it up seven times with some material, and keep it. Its benefit has been experienced many times. ] May Allâhu ta’âlâ give safety to those who follow the right way! Âmîn.
