Illuminations

Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

ISBN: 9781930409521

This compilation of lectures delivered by author Shaykh Kabbani in various venues throughout the United States and in international venues, include a presentation on spiritual Islam to HRH Prince Charles of England, and lectures made at conferences before the Vice President of Indonesia and a conference in Malaysia on addressing the spiritual aspects of psychology. While in most circumstances, Naqshbandi Sufi masters do not speak from a written text-rather speaking from inspirations to the heart-in order to accommodate academic norms and forms of presentation, Shaykh Kabbani has written these detailed lectures regarding Shari'ah and Tasawwuf to accompany what he presented orally, as inspired through his heart by his teacher Shaykh Nazim Adil al-Haqqani. In these talks, Shaykh Kabbani presents the traditional Islamic perspective on a number of important issues of the day, focusing on the adaptability of classical Islam to the needs of the time, exigencies of social and cultural change and the advent of new approaches and methodologies in a number of facets of life. At the same time, Shaykh Kabbani brings an unusual perspective to modern day issues, relating them to aspects of the psyche and an individual's spiritual condition as well as societal impact and relationships and their impact on observance of Divine Law. Shaykh Kabbani is able to present complex issues in the light of potent relevant modern-day examples from modern science while simultaneously relating them to the traditional understanding of classical Islam and the normative practices and unparalleled perfection found in the example of Prophet Muhammad.

Universe Rising

Pages: 284 pages

Within the traditional doctrine of Islam lies a stupendous vision of creation. The Prophetic Reality stands before us a fountain, a point of origin for all creation, a root source of all we know or can imagine. While the theories of modern scientists seek to deftly calculate the state and position of matter and energy of the primordial universe, the Prophet sees and comprehends the cosmos at its cutting edge, its actual emergence from non-existence to existence. Thus, beyond bouncing electrons and jets of plasma, a superhuman intelligence is brought into the picture. Creation unfolds in a series of all-encompassing Divine Names. This floods into the realm of our world as it passes by the Perfect Messenger. He sees, he understands and he passes on to us its secrets. Drawing on the teachings of his spiritual master, author Shaykh Hisham Kabbani explores the implications of this doctrine and brings it to us in terms of today's conditions.

Symphony of Remembrance

Author: Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani

ISBN: 1930409494

Pages: 188 pages

Dimensions: 6 x 9 in or 22.9 x 15.2 cm

This book presents the spiritual background behind the practice of Divine Remembrance, as it initiates the reader into the teachings of the ancient yet living tradition of mystical Islam - the Sufi Way of the Naqshbandi masters of Central Asia. Aimed at those unfamiliar with the terminology of this Path, this book presents the healing power of God's remembrance as a central pillar in the science of spiritual wayfaring and ascent. The path of self-realization asserts that knowledge of the soul is the most essential realm of understanding: "the foundations of psychotherapy in truth should rest upon an understanding of the interrelatedness of the soul, its Source, and the world it inhabits." By means of gnostic interpretations of Quranic scripture, the life stories of divine messengers and their inheritors the saints, the author offers perceptive psychological insights into the journey from patterns of anger, depression and attachment by means of exercises of Divine Remembrance and meditation, by which the six powers latent in every human heart are unveiled, strengthened and concentrated. Filled with counsel and guidance, this work invites those within and outside of the Sufi tradition to step up their spiritual 'game.' Through Remembrance of the Divine, higher levels of attainment can be achieved and maintained, and the connection to the seeker's true inner self can be established and expanded, providing the practitioner with a lifeline to the Divine Presence.

The Lore of Light Volume 1-3

Author: Hajjah Amina Adil

ISBN: 9780934905343

Pages: 469 pages

In a narration of Imam Ahmad, Abu Dharr asked Prophet Muhammad, "O Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets?" He replied, "120,000 and between their number are 315 messengers." The Holy Quran mentions twenty-five of these messengers, namely: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Zacharia, John (the Baptist), Idris (Enoch), Jonah, Hud, Shu`ayb, Salih, Lot, Ilyas, Ilya`sa, Dhu 'l-Kifl, Jesus and Sayyidina Muhammad, peace be upon them all. These are the messengers of God who came with holy books containing the Divine Message. The others are prophets who received divine revelation but who were not ordered to deliver it to anyone; it was for them. By way of example, all of Jacob's sons were prophets, but Joseph was the only messenger from among them. Laboriously compiled from rare manuscripts, traditional Islamic texts, and other printed source material, including ahadith and athar and the many traditional books of history, and painstakingly translated from Ottoman Turkish to English, Lore of Light depicts the perfected, blessed character and refined manners that God bestowed on His blessed prophets and messengers. This illustrious work examines the lives of the prophets and messengers of God in great detail, heretofore unknown in English literature on their lives. It depicts the great lengths to which these holy figures went - at times losing life, suffering humiliation, torment and abuse from those who opposed them, often leaving their homes, always tolerant of their attackers and seeking peace - to guide the many peoples and nations of the world towards the light which God has sent throughout time for humankind's betterment and upliftment.

Mawlid ad-Dayba’i

Penulis: Syekh 'Abd ar-Rahman ad-Dayba’i
Disusun oleh: Syekh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani QS
ISBN 1-930409-43-5

We say, and we are not shy to say it: Prophet Muhammad SAW is our Light; Prophet Muhammad SAW is our Heart; Prophet Muhammad SAW is our Life.

For without our beloved Prophet SAW, we would never have been guided to know Allah SWT, the Mighty and Sublime, nor of the Angels, the prophets, the books of revelation nor of the Afterlife.

When our master 'Ali RA was asked about the strength of his devotion to Allah's Prophet SAW, he replied: “By Allah SWT, we cherished him more than we did our children, our parents and all of our possessions. He was much dearer to us than fresh water is for a thirsty soul.” Such was the esteem and the honor the Prophet SAW was held in by his Companions. By the same token, the hearts of true believers ought to be filled with similar devotion to the Prophet SAW.

Sending blessings on Allah's Beloved SAW is certainly the best way of invoking him, in compliance with the command of the Lord Almighty. In thus blessing him we show him gratitude and acknowledge his countless favors to us. To send blessings on the Prophet SAW is only a negligible payment for the unending benefits and good we have seen through him. In truth, to thank the Prophet SAW is to thank Allah SWT, and Allah SWT Himself is Champion and Supporter of those who honor His Beloved Messenger SAW. Blessing the Prophet SAW is a token of devotion, obedience and the highest form of worship to bring the believer closer to Allah SWT. The Almighty reserves the best rewards and the most complete forgiveness for those who continually bless His Prophet SAW. Suffice it to point out in this respect that it is out of honor and commendation of His Prophet SAW that Allah SWT revealed this Quranic verse starting with His Divine Self and followed by His Angels, orders His servants thus:

“Allah SWT and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet SAW; O ye who believe! Send your blessings on him and salute him with all respect.”

Following this verse, obligating believers to praise the Prophet SAW, Allah SWT then describes the incomparable Bounty that He is:

”Allah SWT did confer a great favor on the believers, when He sent among them a messenger from among themselves, rehearsing unto them the signs of Allah SWT, purifying them and instructing them in the Book and wisdom, while before that, they had been in manifest error.”

In obedience to the Divine Order and in expression of our love and admiration for the Treasure house of Allah's Munificence and the Manifestation of the Reality of The Almighty's Divine Names and Attributes, and in the blessed tradition of our ancestors and predecessors in faith, we present this book of perfumed verse dedicated to the love of our Master, and the Master of All Creation, Prophet Muhammad SAW, upon whom be the choices of Allah's peace and blessings, and upon his Family, Companions, House and Followers, up to the Day of Rising.

Keys To The Divine Kingdom

“Jika anak-anak Anda tidak bisa berenang, Anda memberi mereka sebuah perahu yang bisa ditumpangi dari pantai kegelapan menuju keselamatan, dari pantai kesukaran menuju ketentraman, dari pantai kebencian menuju cinta, dari pantai kekacauan menuju keharmonisan, dari pantai terorisme dan kekerasan menuju kedamaian dan kepuasan. Di dalamnya terdapat Surga bagi mereka, dan untuk membimbing mereka ke sana, itu adalah tanggung jawab para awliya.”

Keys to the Divine Kingdom adalah sebuah transkrip berisi ajaran-ajaran syekh Sufi yang kini masih hidup, seorang yang sungguh-sungguh berada di jalan Allah. Ajaran-ajaran yang sangat didamba-dambakan itu disampaikan di berbagai universitas ternama, pada berbagai konferensi, dan dialog antar umat beragama. Sebagai seorang ulama Islam klasik yang terkemuka, ajaran-ajaran Syekh Kabbani menggambarkan luasnya sumber hikmah Sufi, yang merupakan roh Islam, yang tanpanya agama ini tidak dapat bertahan. Bentuk-bentuk fisik kita dalam kehidupan duniawi ini merefleksikan bentuk-bentuk surgawi kita. Buku ini menginvestigasi secara menyeluruh mengenai hukum-hukum yang mengatur alam semesta, dan dari titik awal inilah, melompat ke dimensi pengetahuan spiritual—ajaran-ajaran Sufi harus “dirasakan” tidak hanya dinyatakan. Buku praktis ini menyingkapkan rahasia jalur mistis yang mengantarkan kita dari dunia bentuk dan indera ke dunia di dalam hati, sebuah dunia yang dipenuhi dengan keajaiban dan berkah.

“If your children do not know how to swim, you give them a vessel to ride from the shore of darkness to safety, from the shore of difficulties to peacefulness, from the shore of hatred to love, from the shore of anarchy to harmony, from the shore of terrorism and violence to peacefulness and satisfaction. Therein is Paradise for them, and to lead them there is the responsibility of saints.”

Keys to the Divine Kingdom is a transcript of highly coveted talks by a living Sufi saint, a true man of God, delivered at mainstream universities, conferences, and interfaith sessions. A prominent scholar of classical Islam, Shaykh Kabbani’s teachings draw upon the vast reservoir of Sufi wisdom, which is the inner spirit of Islam, without which the religion itself could not survive. Our physical forms in this earthly life reflect our heavenly forms. This book examines laws governing the universe, and from this starting point, jumps into the realm of spiritual knowledge -- Sufi teachings which must be “tasted” as opposed to merely professed. This practical book exposes the mystical path which transports us from the world of forms and senses to the world within the heart, a world filled with wonders and blessings.

Guidebook of Daily Practices and Devotions
Penulis: Syekh Muhammad Hisyam Kabbani QS
ISBN 1-930409-22-2, Paperback. 352 pp.

Salah satu mazhab spiritual Islam terkemuka, yaitu Tarekat Sufi Naqsybandi mempunyai sejarah yang panjang dan termashyur sejak periode awal Islam. Dipimpin oleh para Syekh dari Mata Rantai Emas—yang merupakan para pewaris pengetahuan spiritual Nabi SAW dan para awliya—Tarekat Naqsybandi selalu memerankan peranan penting sebagai poros utama dalam kehidupan di dunia Muslim dan telah berhasil bertahan dalam menghadapi gejolak dan berbagai permasalahan di abad yang lalu untuk menjadi salah satu dari sedikit tradisi mistis yang autentik, yang tetap mempertahankan silsilah dengan masa lalunya. Visi spiritual yang istimewa dari para wali Naqsybandi ini termanifestasi dalam pengabdian mereka yang teguh dan praktik-praktik ibadah harian yang berakar dengan kuat pada Alquran dan Sunah Nabi SAW. Praktik-praktik ibadah ini sanggup membangkitkan keyakinan yang kuat dari para pencari (saalik) yang tulus untuk mencapai maqam kedekatan dengan Hadirat Ilahi. Kebangkitan kembali tarekat ini pada abad ke-21, atas usaha yang tidak kenal lelah dari Mawlana Syekh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani QS, mengisyaratkan adanya perubahan yang segera terjadi di masyarakat kita, di mana para pengikutnya akan dianugerahkan kemampuan untuk menembus batas-batas indera fisik guna memenuhi potensi-potensi yang belum pernah terjamah dalam setiap hati manusia. Peribadatan menurut tata cara Naqsybandi adalah sebuah sumber cahaya dan energi, laksana sebuah oasis di gurun pasir duniawi. Melalui manifestasi Berkah Ilahiah yang dianugerahkan kepada para pengikut ritual mulia ini, mereka akan dianugerahi kekuatan penyembuhan hati, yang dengan itu mereka dapat menyembuhkan hati manusia yang menjadi gelap karena materialisme dan kedangkalan spiritual. Kami berdoa agar setiap orang yang membeli buku tuntunan ibadah ini dengan niat yang tulus untuk melakukan setiap praktik-praktik ibadah di dalamnya akan menerima sebagian dari rahmat dan manifestasi yang telah dianugerahkan kepada para wali besar di masa-masa yang lalu.

One of the distinguished schools of Islamic spiritual discipline, the Naqshbandi Sufi Order has a long and illustrious history from the first days of Islam. Led by the shaykhs of the Golden Chain-inheritors of spiritual knowledge from Prophet Muhammad-the Naqshbandi Order has always played a central, pivotal role in the life of people in the Muslim world and survived the turmoil and tribulations of the past century to remain one of the few authentic mystical traditions maintaining a living link with its ancient past. The extraordinary vision of the Naqshbandi Saints was manifest in their establishment of fixed devotions and daily practices firmly rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah of the Prophet. These practices have enabled devout seekers to awaken certainty of belief and to attain stations of nearness to the Divine Presence. The renewed prominence of this order at the turn of the 21st century, due to the indefatigable striving of Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Nazim al-Haqqani, signals an impending change to our society in which aspirants to Divine Service will be granted to transcend the bounds of the physical senses in order to fulfill the unexplored potential in each human heart. The Naqshbandi Devotions are a source of light and energy, an oasis in a worldly desert. Through the manifestations of Divine Blessings bestowed on the practitioners of these magnificent rites, they will be granted the power of magnanimous healing, by which they seek to cure the hearts of mankind darkened by the gloom of spiritual poverty and materialism. We pray that each person who picks up this book of devotions with sincere intention to observe any of its efficacious practices will receive a portion of the blessings and manifestations bestowed on the greatest saints of earlier times.
