The Qur'an talks about a cosmic trust, the Amana, that has humanity take on the task of representing the Divine on Earth. This was an honor of tremendous burden, one that the heavens and the Earth were too overwhelmed to undertake, but humanity took it on.

In his youth, the Prophet ﷺ was known as the Amin, the trust-worthy one. There is surely a link between the Amin and the Amana, the Trust-worthy one and the Cosmic Trust.

But there is also a feminine link: The Prophet's ﷺ own mother, peace be upon her, is Amina. Amana, Amin, Amina.

Without Amina, there would be no Amin, and no soul prepared to fully undertake the Amana.

(Also the fact that mother “s name is Amina ( from Peace) and foster mother “s name is Haleema ( from hilm forbearance))

The roots of Sidra Tul Muntaha starts from 6th sky, That is where everything that comes up from below ends (like good deeds and pious souls), and where everything that comes down from above, until it is taken from it (like the orders from Allah, and then angels apply those orders on there required places). 7th Heaven Sayyidun Ibrahim 7th sky which is called "Areeb" (At a place it is mentioned as Ajma' too and its White Pearl Coloured) On reaching 7th sky, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) raised his head upward and saw cloud's thunder and lightening. There Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) met and greeted Prophet Ibrahim(alayhi salam) who's hair was mixed black and white, reclining against the Bait-ul-Mamoor which is made of Ateeq (red diamond). Then Angel Jabra'il had to stop as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went on to Sidrat al-Muntaha and drew close to it, then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “At-tahiyyatu Lillahi wa’s-salawatu wa’t-tayyibat (All compliments, prayers and pure words are due to Allah).” Allah replied: “Al-salamu ‘alayka ayyuha’n-Nabiyyu wa rahmat-Allahi wa barakatuhu (Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings).” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: “As-salamu ‘alayna wa ‘ala ‘ibad-Illah is-saliheen (Peace be upon us, and on the righteous slaves of Allah).” Jibreel (peace be upon him) - or it was said: the angels who are close to Allah - said: “Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill-Allah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasoo-Allah (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).” The Prophet peace be upon him, after seeing all the angels worship in all the Heavens requested, this nation be blessed with this ibadah. Allah combined all these positions in one rakah for this ummah, our salah is the combination of all the ibadah and positions of all the Angels in all the 7 Heavens and the tashahhud is the holy conversation between Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Allah during Miraj. Thus salah is the Miraj for a believer, its our ascension, the devotee doesn't merely repeat the dialogue of the Messenger’s mi’raj, but has his own conversation with Allah.

There is this symbol of the circle & the dot — This “I” is trapped in the circumference of the outer world, always running around in circles.. The sense of Self changes when the movement is made towards the inner center, towards the immovable, the unchanging, the Divine Anchor.

🚩“A clear sign!” 🚩

“The virus is a punishment for those oppressors who are killing and targeting innocent Muslims. We should have faith and continue with our prayers and dhikr. Shaykh Effendi [Mawlana Shaykh Nazim] used to say, ‘It is bad for them [non-believers / evil-doers] and good for Muslims’.

It is [a] punishment from Allāh ‘Azza wa-Jalla and a clear sign of the coming of Sayyidina Mahdī (alayhi salām)."

-- Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Adil ق
