SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASSE AND THE AQSA MOSQUE

SHAYKH IBRAHIM NIASSE AND THE AQSA

Written by: Imam Fakhruddin Owaisi

As-Salam Alaykum,

Subhan-Allah, the Haram al-Sharif of al-Aqsa is a Jannah of peace, tranquility and ruhaniyyah, despite the Jahannum that the Israelis have created around it. It is from the most spiritual places in the world.

I had the honor of making the Jum'ah Salah in the Aqsa and the holy Wazifah under the blessed Rock (Sakhrah), from where our Prophet (SAW) went on Mi'raj!

I also visited the Haram al-Ibrahimi where our father Abraham is buried, the birthplace of al-Masih Esa Ibn-Maryam (AS) in Bethlehem and the Masjid of Sayyidina Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) there as well.

One must salute the Palestinian people for their Sabr and Resistance against a most vicious and brutal enemy. Allah yarzuqhum al-Nasr ala man Aa'daahum, wa-'s-Sabr ala Balwaahum. Amin.

I personally view the catastrophe of Falastin (Palestine) in deeper spiritual terms.

Jerusalem represents the Heart of the Ummah, for me.

The Zionist Yahud represent the Nafs al-Ammarah, Hubb al-Dunya, and Shahawat.

Therefore, the physical control of the Yahud over Jerusalem is actually a symbolic reflection of the spiritual control of the Nafs al-Ammarah over the Qulub of the Ummah.

The Zahir and the Batin cannot be separated. Everything that is happening in the Zahir is a reflection of something going on in the Batin al-Amr.

Because the nafs, hubb al-dunya, Asabiyyah Jahiliyyah, Zulm and Fasad have taken over our hearts in such a way as never before, therefore the Zionist Occupiers (who are the personification of all of that) have taken our al-Quds, which is our physical heart.

The real solution therefore, is not ranting and raving and political plotting, but the overall Tazkiyah of the Qalb of this wounded Ummah.

That is what our Master, Shaykhuna al-Hassan and all other Awliya-Allah and true Ulama are busy with, as they know this secret. Once our hearts return to Allah, Jerusalem will also return to Islam. At this moment, we don't even deserve it. 

Jerusalem needs men with purified hearts such as Sayyidna Umar (RA), not dunya-loving politicians who are slaves of their lower selves and miles away from the Hal and Qal of Sayyidina Muhammad (SAW).

Last year, when the Zionists wanted to destroy the Aqsa, a noble Muqaddam and Sharif lady from the Tariqah saw Mawlana Rasul-Allah (SAW) and all the Anbiya guarding the Aqsa in a circle.

She asked him if the Aqsa would ever be destroyed?

He replied:

"At the moment, we Prophets are protecting it, but Allah can do whatever He wants".

The Jihad will continue around Bayt al-Maqdis till the Day of Judgment, as the authentic Hadith states.

Sayr al-Qalb is the last Diwan of Shaykh Ibrahim (RA). In it he writes of his journey to al-Quds and al-Khalil:

Wa Arrajtu li'l-Quds ish-Sharifi wa ba'dahu

Saraytu li-Barham al-Khalili Muwaffaqa

Alayka Aya Barhamu ba'da Muhammadin

Salatun wa Taslimun yazidani Rawnaqa

*Translation:*

And I traveled to al-Quds al-Sharif and after that…

I journeyed to the Prophet Ibrahim al-Khalil, with all success!

Upon you Oh Ibrahim…after Muhammad...

Be all peace and greetings…ever-increasing in their Light

Then cursing the evil Zionist occupiers and praying for their destruction and the purification of Jerusalem from them, he writes:

Alayka Salat Ullahi thumma Salamuhu

Wa Tatrudu Ushkul al-La'ini min al-Qudsi

Alayka Salat Ullahi thumma Salamuhu

Wa Tasta'sila al-Khubth al-Yahudi min al-Ussi

Wa Tuhlika Dajjal al-Yahudi wa Tuhlikan

Ibanan wa Dayanan fayakmulu li-Unsi

Translation:

May the Peace and Salutations of Allah be upon you O Prophet

And may you chase away the accursed ones (Zionists) from Jerusalem

May the Peace and Salutations of Allah be upon you O Prophet

And may you root out the wicked ones of the Yahud from their bases!

And may you destroy the Dajjal of the Yahud and destroy…

Eban and Dayan, so that my delight be complete!

(Indeed, the Zionist terrorists, Eban and Dayan were all destroyed)

And he also wrote:

Sa'altu Ilahi an Yudhilla bi-Sur'atin

Isabati Isra'ila Ahli-Ghaba'i

Wa Tahhir lana 'l-Quds al-Sharifa wa Ahlikan

Ibanan wa Dayanan Riqaba Ima'i

Laqada Harabu Isa wa Yahya wa Muhmmadan

Fahab li-Yahud al-Qudsi Kulla Bala'i

Wa Harrir lana Sina bi-Musa wa Muhammadin

Wa Isa wa Ibrahima Ahli Ala'i

Wa Takhfida Johnsona Bi-Jahi Muhammadin

Wa Sirr alladhi qad Ja'a bi-Ghari Hira'i

Translation:

I asked my Lord to Humiliate very soon…

The wicked bunch of the Israelis, the foolish ones!

And purify for us al-Quds al-Sharif

And destroy (Israeli Generals) Eban and Dayan, the Lowlifes!

Indeed they have fought the prophets Jesus, John and Muhammad (SAW)

So afflict the Zionists of Jerusalem with every hardship (O Allah)

And liberate for us (Mount) Sinai for the Sake of Moses and Muhammad (SAW)

And Isa and Ibrahim, the men of Lofty Status

And humiliate Johnson for the Honor of Muhammad (SAW)!!!

Indeed, Sinai was liberated shortly after the Dua of Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) and Johnson was also humiliated with scandals.

Likewise, we are sure that the rest of Shaykh Ibrahim's Duas will also be fulfilled. Amin

One should also read the Sahib al-Faydah's letter to President Jamal Nasser after the defeat of the (disunited and dunya-loving) Arab armies in 1967 and the loss of al-Quds al-Sharif. It is found in the collection of his letters entitled Jahawir al-Rasa'il.

After the Zionist burning of the Masjid al-Aqsa in 1969, Shaykh Ibrahim (RA) also wrote a letter to all Muslims asking then to boycott Israel and cut off all ties with it completely. This letter is also found in the Jawahir al-Rasa'il.

I attach here photos of me in front of the Dome of the Rock and in the al-Haram al-Sharif with Sidi Shaykh Ya'qub Qirrish, from the great Ulama of the Aqsa and Shaykh of the Shadhiliyyah in al-Quds. I had the honor of reciting the Isra wa-'l-Mi'raj Chapter of the Burdah in his Majlis inside the Aqsa after the Jum'ah Prayer!

Was-Salam

The Letter of Shaykh al-Islam Ibrahim Niasse to the Muslims of the World regarding the crimes of Israel

Translated by Imam Fakhri Owaisi 

___________________

In the name of ALLAH the Most Merciful, the Ever Merciful. 

Praise be to ALLAH in all circumstances. And peace & blessings be upon the Best of Men!

So the worst of Allah's creation, have attempted to burn down the blessed Masjid al-Aqsa!

It is a heinous crime indeed,  added to the long list of crimes that continue to be committed by the Yahud in every age.

Surely, the fire that has been ignited in the hearts of all believers in the East & the West due to this evil crime, is by far the hardest blow that Muslims, Arabs & non-Arabs, have received from the Yahudi aggressors (in Palestine).

 

Indeed, the Masjid al-Aqsa - and do you even realize the status of the Masjid al-Aqsa! - is the first of the two Qiblahs of Islam and the third of Holy Mosques (after the holy Mosques Makkah & Madinah).

It is the sacred concluding point of the Isrā (night journey of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ from Mecca to Jerusalem) and the blessed starting point of the Mi'raj (Ascension of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to the Heavens).

[As the Holy Quran states] 

“Glory be to the One who took His Servant on a night journey from the Holy Mosque (of Makkah) to the Farthest Mosque (of Jerusalem), whose precincts We have blessed. So that We may show him our signs, and indeed He (God) is the All-Hearing and All-Seeing”.

(Quran 17: 1).

Our Prophet ﷺ came to us with the teachings of Islam by which we became the best community risen amongst mankind.

It was the second Rightly Guided Khalifah of Islam, the Victorious one, and (the one titled as) the Lamp of Paradise, Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) who built this Masjid (al-Aqsa) around 1370 years ago, from the revenue of Egypt, over seven years. 

And it has remained since that day, a sacred & safe  space of worship; a respected & revered place, despite the aggression of the invaders, who hid under the (banner of symbol of the) Cross sometimes, and under other coverings of enmity on other times.

Certainly, by this heinous crime, the state of Isreal has proved once again that it does not deserve to remain in al-Quds (Jerusalem), and is not worthy of looking after these holy places.

For it knows nothing but evil deeds & villianery. 

[As Allah stated in the Holy Quran about them]:

"Those whom Allah cursed, & became angry with, and made from them monkeys, pigs, and Devil worshippers. Indeed they are the evil ones and the most misguided ones from the Straight Path". 

(Quran 5: 60). 

And they were also cursed on the tongues of Prophet Dawud & Prophet Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon them all).

So I call on all Muslims to prepare for a chastising war & holy struggle, and to declare it against the enemies of Allah, in order to remove them (the Zionists) from the sacred (Aqsa) Mosque of Allah.

And I urge them to cut off all ties with anyone who is connected to Israel.

[As Allah stated in the Holy Quran]

”You will not find people who believe in Allah & the Last Day, taking the enemies of Allah & His Prophet as their friends”.

(Quran 58: 22).

Indeed, Israel has declared war on every Muslim worldwide; it has in fact declared war against the Lord of the Worlds Himself.

Verily, this crime will not go unpunished. And Israel did not commit this crime against Islam & Muslims alone. Rather, all the enemies of Allah are with it.

However, by the power of Allah, all of them are rushing towards the same fate: which is their complete destruction & demise.

Because Allah the Almighty has stated: 

"By the Skies & their recurring cycle, and by the Earth & its sprouts! 

Yes, this is a decisive word, not to be taken lightly!

Indeed they devise plans (against Islam) and I devise a plan (against them). Therefore give the Disbelievers some time: for I grant them but a little respite (before their terrible punishment occurs)”.

(Quran 86: 11-17)

“And indeed the Oppressors will learn soon what punishment they are turned towards!”.

(Quran 26: 227).
