Lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

Question: Lovers of Sayyidinaa Muhammad ﷺ are like moth to the flame

Shaykh AI:

B’ism Allah… Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Shaykh Nojan Mirahmadi Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (QS), the analogy of lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ being like a moth to the flame is a beautiful and profound concept in Sufi teachings. The analogy illustrates the intense love and attraction that the lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ have towards the Divine Presence.

In this analogy, the moth represents the seeker or lover of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and the flame symbolizes the Divine Love and Presence of Allah. Just as a moth is irresistibly drawn to a flame, the lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ are irresistibly drawn to the Divine Love and Presence of Allah.

The moth doesn’t think, it just sees a fire and its instinct, Divine instinct is to be lost. Similarly, the lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ are driven by an innate and intense love for the Divine Presence, which guides them towards spiritual union and closeness to Allah.

The Divine is saying with that ishq, with that love, you must approach Me. This emphasizes the importance of approaching Allah with pure love and sincerity, just as the moth is naturally drawn to the flame.

The analogy beautifully captures the essence of the spiritual journey, where the lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ seek to immerse themselves in the Divine Love and Presence, just as the moth surrenders itself to the flame.

May Allah (ﷻ) grant us the ability to be like the moth, completely surrendered to the Divine Love and Presence, and may we be blessed with the intense love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the Divine Reality. Ameen.

It’s important to remember that this analogy is a reflection of the deep spiritual love and yearning for the Divine, and it serves as a reminder for us to seek closeness to Allah with pure love and sincerity.

May Allah (ﷻ) elevate our love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and grant us the ability to embody the qualities of the moth in our spiritual journey. Ameen.
