Bismika yaa Allaah, yaa Allaah, yaa Allaah, yaa Hu, yaa Haqq
My dear beloveds, today, in Love, I have composed the following simple 'raatib' (compilation) for us all to read (recite) on occasions and as a Means (Wasila) of Nearness (Qurb) with Allaah Ta'aala from which we may derive immense blessings by doing so. Insha Allaah Ta'aala. Please read with a heart yearning for the Essence of Allaah alone. In my prayers, I have asked Allaah Ta'aala to bless you all infinitely for reading the following. I have asked Him to deliver blessings to your lives in the form of substantial stations (maqaamaat) that shall establish in a very meaningful way the states (ahwaal) of those who are drawn near and have gained salvation. For those of you who desire to see the Holy Prophet (saaws) and the Saints (Awliyyaa') whether in the state of wakefulness or in the state of dreaming, reciting this little compilation with comprehension and sincerity might help. Indeed, in line with a great Sufi, Imaam Rabbaani (qs), I, this faqiir, wouldn't count myself among the Muslims if I were veiled from seeing my Beloved, Sayyidinaa Muhammad (saaws), even for a split second. Yet, I am one of those who are most forgetful in Dhikr. And Allaah Ta'aala knows best. May Allaah Ta'aala forgive this unworthy servant for his sins, for indeed he is abound with them and is ashamed of himself, and may He Ta'aala grant his parents (especially his beloved mother), family, and friends that which is useful and meaningful only of him. Ameen.

Bismika yaa Allaah, yaa Allaah, yaa Allaah, yaa Hu, yaa Haqq
Ha Mim
Praise be to Allaah Who creates the pure hearts of His Awliyyaa' (Beloveds) as reflective mirrors for His Absolute Beauty (al-Jamaaliyya al-Dzaatiyya); the Primordial, Unconditional, Timeless, Eternal Beauty of His Wujuud (Being), so that when we gaze at them with an essentially inward gaze, the Name of the Beloved, Allaahu, is mentioned inwardly and outwardly in the presence of Sincerity (Ikhlaas) and thereby becomes our Dhikr, which is desired by Him for Himself.
Praise be to Allaah, al-Haqq 'Azza wa Jalla, the Absolute Truth, Who, having removed the curtains of apparent conditionality, relativity, and causal interdependence that span the fleeting display of creation (maujuudaat, makhluuqaat), as well as opened the doors towards His Singular Presence, gathers the Knowledge of Himself (Ma'rifatullaah) for His chosen servants and pours it into their hearts at the Furthest Point of Loving Surrender. His Name, Allaahu, is the Only Essential Name, the Indivisible Foundation of the Heavens and Earth and whatever lies hidden between them. His Infinite Knowledge and Omnipotence manifest themselves as the Pillars of His 'Arsh (Throne), which display the Simplicity of Wuujud beyond austerity as well as its Complexity beyond divergence, thereby manifesting the Presence of Unity in Diversity and establishing Diversity in the fold of Unity.
Allaahu, there is none like unto Him, the Living, the Self-Existent, the Eternal. He is the True Existence of the Essential Realm (al-Laahuut), the Global Universe (the Macrocosm) of possibilities, as well as the Projective Universe of evolutionary processes, the Microcosm (al-Naasuut). To Him belongs both graded existences and non-existences. Indeed, He is al-Hayy, the Life-Giving Living One. He is al-Muhibb, the Love-Giving Lover. The created worlds are naught but a grand symphony of multiply interconnected forms brought forth from His Unconditional Knowledge and Boundless Presence. They are but His constitutive appearances as well as spaces for created shadows with no inherent essence (existence) of their own. This way, He has established the forms (maahiyyah) that have Direct Connection to Him, that which we call 'goodness', and the forms that are only apparently real but essentially devoid of His Truth, that which we call 'vanity' (evil, baathil). So fear Allaah and remain with the Real in this world of ours whose passing forms may delude us and distract us from Essence (al-Dzaat), though they change before our very eyes.
Shalawaat and Salaam perfectly continuously and endlessly be upon the Most Noble Master of existences and the Essential Human Being (Sayyid al-Wujuud wa Sarwaar al-Kull), the Essence and Goal of the existential realm (Hawwiyyat-ul 'Aalam), the Proof (Hujjah) of proofs of Allaah's Unity, the Leader (Imaam) of mankind, angels, jinns, and all the rest of particular beings, the Crown (Taaj) of Allaah's Prophets and Saints, the Eye ('Ain) of the Arifin (Gnostics) that sees the Totality of Existence beyond shadows and polarities, the Pole (Quthb) and Center (Ka'baa) of Allaah's Singular Presence that contains all of His Names (Asmaa') and Attributes (Sifaat), hidden and manifest; the First, Ultimate Prophet of Allaah and the First, Ultimate Knower of Allaah's Essence by whose blessed Name and Status, Hazrat 'Adam ('alaihi salaam) gained forgiveness from his Lord when he had transgressed; the First to be manifested as the Light of Allaah's Unique Reality (al-Ahadiyya) for whose sake the worlds were brought into being; the First, Ultimate, Unique Beloved of Allaah Subhaan Huwa Ta'aala, Sayyidinaa wa Mawlaanaa Muhammad al-Musthaafa, Nuurin min Nuurillaah.
I bear witness that he (shalla Allaahu Ta'aala 'alaihi wa aalihi wa sahbihi ajma'in wa sallam) is the Secret of Secrets of Being and Becoming, the Shoreless Ocean of Esoteric and Exoteric Knowledge, the Essence and Goal of the best of religions, Islaam, the Owner of the Cloak (Burda) of Shari'ah, the Path (Shiraath) of Thariiqah, the Reality of Haqiiqah, and the Wholeness of Ma'rifah. By my soul, he (saaws) is the one who has said, "My Qibla is neither towards my East nor towards my West," because he (saaws) himself is the Qibla that encompasses within himself the Seven Principal Directions in the Way of Return, and, above all, all the Names of Allaah. Therefore, O Salik, comprehend this majesty, the greatness of the Ahmadan Khilafaat!
Indeed peace and blessings be upon the Leader of those from whose individual existences the veils of the cosmos have been lifted so that they see al-Haqq with the Transcendental Eye (Bashiirah) of his First, Complete, Universal Intellect (al-'Aql al-Kull al-Muhammadiyyah). They are those who witness al-Haqq beyond both the shadows of particularity and the domes of generality, and beyond the confining symmetries of need and reason, such that they see none in Maujuud (that-which-is) except His Face (Wajh) and are submerged in Complete Intimacy (Uns). Indeed as Allaah Ta'aala has said in the Holy Qur'an, there is no fear, doubt, nor anxiety in them for they are with the Real. They are the ones who have gone through and beyond both the existential contractions and expansions of forms and are gathered at the Station of Complete Content. They see the worlds as reflective manifestations (tajalliyyaat) of the Uniqueness of al-Haqq 'Azza wa Jalla. They are the ones who comprehend the Goal towards which particular forms accelerate and decelerate, expand and contract, gather and disperse, so that whenever the manifest Universe appears or disappears, they see only Allaah and remain with His experienced He-ness (Huwwiyyah).
Peace and blessings be upon the Family of Muhammad, the People of Ya Sin, including those who are linked to the Prophet (saaws) by means of inner, essential Perfection rather than 'exterior', those emanating as pure rays from the Reality (Light) of Muhammad (al-Haqiiqah al-Muhammadiyyah) with respect to creation, whose Function is that of the Greater Arc of Salvation in the oceans of being and becoming. They are the Treasuries of Muhammadan Pearls from time to time and on the indivisible Last Day. They are the Inheritors of Nubuwwah. They are the Windows for the Dawn of Haqiiqah, the Glasses for the Morning Rain of Ma'rifah, and the Vessels of Walaayah.
Peace and blessings be upon them all, especially upon the Two Minarets of Light of the Family of the Prophet, the Imaam of the Two Easts and the Two Wests and the Possessor of the Two Gnostic Wings, Sayyidinaa Abu-l Hassan 'Ali ibn Abi Thaalib, and the Center of silences and the Mihrab of Prophetic and Angelic Lights, Sayyidatinaa Faathimah al-Zahraa binti Rasuulullaah. Peace and blessings be upon their descendants, the righteous Imaams, especially al-Qa'im, the Awaited and Fully Supported One, the Ultimate Descendant of the descendants of the Holy Prophet (saaws), the Conclusive Seal of Awliyya, whose established Reality overwhelms the worlds even in his present Ghayba (General Concealment) and whose Name acts as the Invisible Pillar of the Order in the Laws of Nature of the age. Indeed, it is for the sake of his dearest Father, the Holy Prophet (saaws), the Truth of Islaam, that the Mahdi shall come at the end of the expansion of the cosmos to represent the Face of faces, the Sign of signs, the Presence of Singularity, in a Manifest Way, thereby bringing that which is essentially passing and temporal (fanaa') to a conclusive end.
