This Post shall not have a title

I was on a half day one of the Fridays back, did my jumaah at ahmad ibrahim where i met Bro Shahrul who invited me over to his home and thus lent me the books. indeed, it was a half day well spent ;)

i have been wanting to read more about Ust Taha Suhaimi and the Aurad Muhammadiyah, my uncles have said a few times that my granddad is a student of Almarhum Ust Taha, he passed away when i was three. and my grandma memorized and recited verses of the Quran that make up parts of the Aurad Muhammadiyah every night on her bed.

so naturally, i became curious about the Aurad. now it does not help that certain controversies have risen regarding the Aurad and Shaykh Suhaimi, the grandfather of Ust Taha. like other similar issues, sometimes authentic information cannot be easily retrieved from the Net. i was thus fortunate to have with me now the books by Ust Taha himself(now i suppose out of print).

i sank through the 'jawapan bagi tuduh-tuduhan' and couldn't stop reading it. i finished it in one dayand found several issues very similar to the Ahmadiah-Idrisiah Order.

Especially on the issue of meeting the Prophet s.a.w. in a state of awakedness (yaqaza).many have claimed that such a thing is impossible and against Islamic teachings but Shaykh Suhaimi had it and so did Sidi Ahmad Ibn Idris ra. as to its basis in Islam, we should look at the meeting of the Prophets in jerusalem during the isra' of Nabi s.a.w. when he became Imam to all other Prophets, most of whom have already passed away hundreds of years ago. it is not an impossibility, rather a total possibility.

in fact, it is in the Salawat Azhimiyyah of Sidi Ahmad ibn Idris, the invocation to be with Nabi s.a.w. Unite him with me, just as You unite the Soul with the Self,
externally and internally, awake and asleep,
And make him, O God, a part of my soul in all of the moments in life.In this world and before the Hereafter, O God the Great.

Wallahu 'alam
