Awliyaullah (saints) and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Question: Awliyaullah (saints) are representatives of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ ?

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the Awliyaullah (saints) are indeed representatives of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They are the inheritors of the understanding of the prophets under Bani Israel, as mentioned in the hadith “‘Ulama e warithatul anbiya” – “My scholars are the inheritors of the prophets” (Ibn Majah and Tirmidhi). This means that at every level of prophecy, the Awliyaullah are inheriting from that level of understanding.

Prophets cannot reach their reality without the ma’rifah (gnosticism) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Each prophet comes to their understanding of themselves, but they cannot complete the reality of themselves without the ma’rifah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Therefore, throughout the Qur’an, you see the prophets asking for something more, indicating that they need to seek the secrets from Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

The Awliyaullah are the walking hadith of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and they carry the divine attributes and characteristics of the Prophet. They are dressed with the eyes, the tongue, the hands, and the footsteps of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Their entire existence is dedicated to following the path of the Prophet and spreading the light and guidance of the Prophet to the world.

Therefore, it is clear that the Awliyaullah are indeed representatives of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, carrying his reality throughout time and spreading his light to all of creation. May Allah elevate us through their blessings and keep us under their guidance.

May Allah bless you and increase your understanding and love for the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. May you be of service to the Tariqa and others, and may your character reflect the noble attributes of the Prophet. Ameen.
