Keys of the Ka’aba: A Dream

  

Ka’aba is the first spiritual home of human kind. From Hazrat Adam (as) through Hazrat Ibrahim (as) and Hazrat Ismail (as), the grand legacy of Tawheed, the mantle of sublime worshipful practices in utter devotion to the Unique Lord of the worlds, reached its religious perfection and ethical permanence with the advent of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa) and the establishment of Islam. The unique history of that ancient spiritual space in Arabia is commemorated, through the long, thriving spiritual traditions of Tawaf in Makkah, the great Hajj, as well as Umrah. As the Baitullah is in the spiritual heart of the Muslim world, the pilgrims flock to the place from around the world, literally, every day and year.  

 

Indeed, circumambulation at the ancient House of God is emblematic of true spirituality in Islam. In the Islamic tradition, it is recorded that several Adams have performed their Tawaf around the Ka’aba over countless ages. Noble souls, Elects of God in particular, will be eager to perform their Tawaf. Consider the Islamic traditions that preserve glad tidings concerning the advent of Divinely-raised souls to restore Islamic teachings in every era. It is also foretold that such an inspired soul, the Islamic Messiah of the Later Days, will perform Tawaf around Makkah, perform Umrah or Hajj, or both.


By the immense grace and blessings of Allah, the prophecy about the Islamic Messiah entering Makkah to perform Tawaf stands literally fulfilled in our times with the Muhyi-ud-din Al Khalifatullah Hazrat Munir Ahmad Azim (aba) of Mauritius, accompanied by members of the holy family, performing Umrah in February 2018, Alhamdulillah, Summa Alhamdulillah. 


A recent, beautiful dream made by Hazrat Saheb (aba) in this blessed month of Ramadan foretells glad tidings for the Jamaat’s future, especially about the continuation of the holy trusteeship of the Divine mission, with a future Khalifa along with countless followers also performing the Tawaf, holding the keys of the Ka’aba in a mystical or literal way, Insha Allah. The dream of the Khalifatullah (aba) on the 22nd of April 2022 also reminds old members of the Jamaat about a remarkable Kashaf (spiritual visions) made by Hazrat Ummul Mu'mineen Fazli Amena Varsally on 20- 21 April 2018 on the larger theme of preservation of Ka'baa keys- a metaphor for the safeguarding of enduring Islamic teachings as taught by the Holy Prophet (sa). For the spiritual benefit of everyone, the extracts from Jamaat communications sent by Hazrat Tayyeba Shaheeda Aliah Nasrine on the two different occasions, narrating these spiritual experiences, are reproduced below:  

 

DREAM:

 

It was Friday in the dream itself and Huzur found himself near a very tall, greatly enlightened (without any artificial light) and beautiful building and he was preparing himself to go and deliver the Friday Sermon. There was a large number of people (nobody known as from today as forming part of our Jamaat - i.e. other people from the different nations of the world) who were waiting for Huzur to come. They made a pathway for Huzur to pass when he would come. In the meantime a boy in white stood up to give the Azaan for the Khutba.

 

Hazrat Ummul Mu’mineen Nasira suggested that the Khalifatullah does not put on his turban but only a prayer cap as they did not know the crowd, if they would create problems or not but then Huzur was instructed by a voice (from the Unseen) to put on his turban, not to hesitate to put the turban and go to deliver the Khutba before that large congregation. All the people were clothed in white. Huzur took his green turban and was putting it on his head but he felt that two other hands were putting that turban on his head. Then, on his way to the most beautiful building, he spotted his two elders brothers (who did not believed in him) who were looking at the crowd which had assembled to listen to their blessed brother's sermon - with much regret/ shame.

 

Then, the Khalifatullah (atba) finds himself walking through the pathway formed and surrounded by all these people and while he was about to deliver his sermon, a thin rain fell, and the people lifted their heads up to the sky. The people assembled in neat Saffs (ranges) - the men downstairs and the ladies above - and some of them thought in their minds that after Huzur begins his Khutba, they would not have the opportunity to click photos along with the Khalifatullah and thus they came forward and clicked some photos with him while he was on the Mimbar (pulpit). This troubled the Khalifatullah as he had to deliver his Khutba, but when others saw these people clicked photos with Huzur, they also wanted to have pictures along with the Messenger of Allah and they also came for the photos. There were camera flashes everywhere. Huzur then began his sermon. He talked about ALLAH (just like in our Dawa Classes), on the Unicity of Allah.

 

Afterwards, the men formed two very long queues like a chain linked to the Khalifatullah, and then the ladies came in between the two chains of men. And then the Khalifatullah found himself in Makkah before the Ka'aba with all these people having followed him.

 

So, upon reaching near the Ka'aba, Huzur instructed all his followers to stop, and he went ahead first and mounted on a height whereby he could clearly see at a distance and he was amazed by the large number of people who followed him and were with him; they filled nearly all spaces and were respectfully dressed, the ladies well covered and the men were on one side and the ladies on another side.

 

When he was at the door of the Ka'aba, just then, a very heavy key fell down in his hands from the heaven with a resounding sound, and that key was so heavy that the shoulders of Khalifatullah became unbearably painful and he exclaimed: "O Allah, I cannot hold (bear the weight) of that key!" Allah (The Divine Voice) said: "Take hold of it (Bear it)!"


That key was the key of Makkah and especially the Holy Ka'aba. So, Huzur took hold of the key and removed (not completely) to a side the black cloth by the door of the Ka'aba and opened it. Therein were lots of idols coming from America and Europe and it was very dirty. Huzur said that while the exterior of the Ka'aba was beautifully clothed but its interior was very dirty, and he got hold of all the idols, one by one, and threw them outside till a long distance while his followers were looking and saying "Allahu Akbar". The idols came crashing down and were rendered to pieces/ dust. After removing all idols, the Khalifatullah took hold of a broom and dustpan and began alone a thorough cleaning of the Ka'aba's interior, removing all filth.




Afterwards, he took some water to cleanse himself and made his Wuzu within the Ka'aba in a corner. Suddenly, the key again dropped in his hands and he realized that he had forgotten that he had kept it aside to make his Wuzu, but the key by itself returned in his hands.  


Then, the Khalifatullah said: 

"It is true that the key of the Ka'aba is in my hand, but it is not me who will enter into the Ka'aba Shariff. It is not me who will come here. I will not be here. I have done all the (necessary - preliminary) works but I should hand over this key to the one who will come after me (i.e. The Khalifatullah's successor). He will be responsible for that key, to take hold of it."

 

Then Huzur made two prostrations (Sajda) within the Ka'aba and he smelt a wonderful perfume, so extraordinary that he heard a voice say: "Ya Allah! What is this perfume?" and the Divine Voice said: "It is the perfume of Aakherat."

 

He was made to see a vision of his dear disciples from India - Kerala and Tamil Nadu who had taken a train to come to join him in Makkah, and they have spread a banner along the train on which was written: Laa Ghaliba Illallah (All Victory belongs to Allah).

 

And then, he came at the door of the Ka'aba, and the people, his followers, his disciples (Sahaba) cried out: Naraye Takbeer, Allahu Akbar. Huzur made signs to them, those who are already present along with him, and say that "Now, one by one can come in, but only those who are really sincere (not having any stain on their hearts) would be able to enter. Allah will enable them to enter."

 

Then Huzur woke up from his blessed dream.

Visions of Hazrat Ummul Mu'mineen Fazli Amena - 20- 21 April 2018

 

1. During Maghrib prayers led by the Khalifatullah (atba) on Friday 20 April 2018, Hazrat Ummul Mumineen Fazli Amena was overcome by a Kashaf (Vision) in which she felt (touched with her hands) and seen (like in real life - being tangible and visible) her door key in her lap, but the door key was of a special kind! She gripped the door key and looked at it and saw that the neck and bottom part of the key was like her ordinary key while the top of the key (the head) was a miniature Ka'aba Sharif (black and gold) just like she saw during Umrah in February 2018, with the door of the Ka'aba visible.


 

2. At 01.30 on Saturday 21 April 2018, while she was performing Tahajjud prayers, she was overcome by another vision (she felt as if her heart is blocked/ lungs tight and tears were rolling down her cheeks) in which she saw once again the same personal Ka'aba door key in her hand (as seen previous on 20 April during Maghrib prayers) and the following message (revelation) in English came to her lips: "All the members of the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam should strive very very hard to keep the key of the Khana Ka'aba safe." 


 

After receiving this message, she went to write it down and saw another vision in which she saw clearly the smiling faces of two of our brothers in Kerala, and also the smiling faces of other members of the Tamil Nadu Jamaat (unknown in the dream except for three members). And she felt right then that the smiling faces indicated that it is them (i.e. the Kerala and Tamil Nadu Jamaats) who shall strive very hard to keep safe/ protect the key of the Holy Ka'aba. She saw and heard one of the members saying: "I shall keep safe that key, Oh Ummul Mumineen!" and the person reminded the Ummul Mumineen Sadr Sahiba of the Kashaf during her visit in Kerala in which she saw diamonds flowing.


[From a Blog report of February 2017 on the aforesaid Kashaf: The Ummul Mu'mineen, International Sadr of the Siraj Makin, Hadhrat Fazli Amena Varsally Saheba had made a beautiful Kashaf during her stay at Mathra. She saw two hands giving away rich Diamonds to her and the women, who are with her, are receiving the same and there were so many of it that these diamonds began to flow like a stream flowing beyond, and even the men in the adjacent spaces also receive the same, Alhamdulillah, Soumma Alhamdulillah.]


 

After some minutes she entered yet another vision in which she saw appearing before her the various names of countries in which the Jamaat Ul Sahih Al Islam has been established and shall be established, and she understood that they shall do "Fastabikul Khairaat" (competition in the path of Allah) to be the ones to keep safe that special Ka'aba key. They will fight to protect that key, Insha Allah, Aameen.
