In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
My beloved ones for God's sake, our statement today is about: The Truth of the Greatest Name of God.
You should know for certain that the greatest name of God is a real essence that descends into the hearts, so what is this essence?
Verily, God's greatest name is not of the Eternal Attributes of God, rather, it is of the Inner self Attributes of God, as God, glory be to Him has Eternal Attributes and Inner self Attributes.
As for the Eternal Attributes Of God, (note: they are unchangeable attributes i.e. God is Great and Everlasting) no one shares them with Him, as there is nothing like Him, Glory be to God.
Nevertheless, the Inner self Attributes of God (note: they are changeable, could become higher or lower according to what's within the Self of God due to the servants' deeds towards their lord, and He shares it with His servants) likeMercy, for instance. As God calls himself the Most Merciful of all mercifuls, the Most Generous of all generouses, the best of all forgivers, and the best of all providers... Etc.
One of the Inner self Attributes of God is His Pleasure within Himself upon His servants (note: this pleasure generates a Bliss greater than the pleasure of Paradise in God's servants' hearts). I swear by God who there is no deity other than Him, that this sign is the greatest proof ever by which God has supported a servant of His servants. This is the essence of the greatest name of God, and whoever finds this truth descended into his heart knows with certainty that Nasser Muhammad is the Awaited Imam Mahdi.
By God, even if I said that I doubt myself to be the Awaited Mahdi, he would say:
No, I swear by God, you are the Awaited Mahdi.
And he will never agree with my doubt, no matter what I say, he doesn't care because it has become real to him.
Indeed, this is the greatest name of God. Sadly, people thought it is a name that is greater than any other name of God. How can a name of God be greater than another? Isn't God One? Glory be to Him, the Great. So, why is this name described as the greatest name of God?That's because they will find it real within their hearts that it's a Bliss greater than the Bliss of entering Paradise, and that's verified by the Word of our Lord, the Exalted:
O brothers, does this need any interpretation?The Bliss from God is the greatest, meaning, it's a pleasure greater than the pleasure of entering Paradise. I swear by God that he who received it and won the love of his Lord finds it real now within himself that it's indeed a Bliss greater than the Bliss of Paradise.
By God, who there is no deity but Him, anybody who finds this sign in his heart would feel within himself that if God says to him: O My Servant, I have made you the most beloved and nearest Servant to Myself and has made you My Vicegerent over the Mighty domain of Paradise which is as wide as Heavens and Earth, and I am well-pleased with you, would you be satisfied?
Certainly, a Muslim scholar would say:
How couldn't I be satisfied, by God, I would be Well-pleased immediately!
But what would be the answer of the one who knew the truth of the greatest name of God to his Lord?
He would say:
O lord, by Your Might and Majesty, and by the greatness of the Bliss of your Pleasure within Yourself, I will never be pleased until you are Well-pleased within yourself with all your servants.
And God would say: Even if you have become the most beloved and nearest servant? What if I set you the furthest of my servants ever?
Then this man would say:
I agree to that my Lord, as long as you are not Well-pleased within yourself, feeling grief and sadness. Even if you make me eat from the trash of the residents of Paradise, it doesn't matter, the only thing that matters to me is that You, my Lord, my Love, to be Well-pleased within yourself without feeling grief or sadness.
And here, some scholars would ask in wonder:
What does the word (without feeling grief or sadness) mean? How does God feel grief?
O, Glory be to God, they would say that despite they believe in God as the Most compassionate.
My brothers, by God, if one of your sons, just one, disobeyed you for a thousand years, how much grief would you feel towards him if you found him screaming in Hellfire, regretting the duties he neglected towards you?
And you are just a father who is pitying for his son despite he disobeyed you for a thousand years, how do you think of God, the Most compassionate ever? By reason and logic, how do you think of Our Lord? I swear by God that God is feeling grief and sadness.
So, what is the proof of that?
When God sent three messengers to a town, they were brothers, people disbelieved them, and no one believed them but a weak and poor man from the farthest part of the town. He was concealing his faith, and never spoke in front of the king. Verily, the king left no choice to them, as the people told the messengers that they have to return to the religion of their people, rather, they would be stoned to death. therefore, the messengers had no other choice. In line with the Word of God:
Then they hid in the cave. Why? Until God makes a way for them to break the siege, as the town was under siege. So they were afraid to go back to the town, just like Muhammad, the God's prophet and his companion who were afraid to go back to their town, Mekka, then his supporters found them and took them to another town, Medinah. Back to the people of the three messengers, they wanted to seize them so they wouldn't go out. And it's verified by the Word of God:
Anyway, they hid in the cave. However, the weak man who has believed and concealed his belief heard of what happened to the messengers, so he went to the royal palace advising them to follow the messengers of God, in line with the Word of God:
Here we find this man was delighted, but on the other hand, let's see what was within the Self of our Lord at that time: God was grieving His servants, in line with the Word of God, the Exalted:
So brothers! Who has said that God is grieving?God Himself has said that, as after He punished them he knew that they regretted and felt sorry for the duties they neglected towards their lord, so, grief came to the Self of God.
Lo! Greif does not come to the Self of God until His servants regret being undutiful towards their Lord first. But as long as they insist on their blasphemy and stubbornness, no grief will come upon them from within the Self of God. But alas, they don't regret with self-pity for not obeying God until God perishes them and become of the dwellers of Fire. Then, one of them says: “Woe is me for having neglected what is due to God, and having been one of those who scoffed!”. At that moment grief comes within the Self of God upon him.
In line with the Word of God:
It means that after God has punished them, they have ceased their vanity and regretted the duties they neglected towards God. Then God Says: O pity! Such beings!
O brothers! Does this verse need any explanation that God is grieving? No by Lord. So, what is the benefit of the Houris and Paradise as long as our Lord is grieving and sad,?
Let me tell you something, certainly, God, glory be to Him, did not prohibit us from seeking His blessings upon us in order to save us from His fire and bring us into paradise, and God rewards them for it. And it's verified by the Word of God, the Exalted said:
But God, who there is no deity but Him, has prescribed in His Book, promising the believers to elect from among them a group of people whom He loves and loves Him. He did not mention Paradise or Hell, just whom He loves and Loves Him. Those people are humble towards the believers, and stern towards the disbelievers. And the word (stern towards the disbelievers) means that they are stern towards the devils of both Humans and Jinn who wage war against the believers due to their submition to their Lord.
Those people are striving in calling to God, for God's sake. They do not fear the blame of the blamers. This's the grace of God which He bestows on whomever He wills. I swear by God, this is the greatest grace in the Book (which God grants to whomever He wants). So, focus and concentrate on this. Did God mention Paradise or Fire or even domain? So, look what God, the Exalted said:
So, concentrate on this, (this is the Grace of God which He grants to whomever He wills)
Regarding what Muhammad, the messenger of God, said in front of a group of people:
"O, people! Listen attentively and understand, there are servants of God whom the prophets and the rightly leading scholars will covet, owing to their closeness and high status to their Lord, despite they are neither prophets nor leading scholars. Here, the supporters of the prophet Muhammad were astonished at that speech (How come for some people who are neither prophets nor leading scholars to be coveted by prophets and leading scholars?) O, messager of God, how could it be?"
Glory be to God, I will tell you the reason, but before that, let me tell you something: In a great vision, so great indeed, I was hesitating to mention it, but God wants me to. I saw my Lord in my dream, he was speaking to me from behind the veil, I didn't see Him, but I saw light, and then God, glory be to Him said:
(((There is one of the supporters of the Awaited Mahdi in the era of Dialogue before his Appearance, this man is about to win the highest rank in Paradise)))
End of vision
He is about to win it, I don't know him, but brothers, let me advise you: Each one of you, my supporters, should turn to God when he comes into a solitude saying:
O Lord, if it was me who won the highest rank in Paradise, then I will give it up to whomever You want among Your servants for Your sake, as 'a Means' to achieve the Bliss greater than it, so that You would be Well-pleased within Yourself, indeed You are the All-Hearing and All-knowing.
Whoever won it should say so, as it is called 'the Means'. Why is it called that name? Because it is taken as 'a Means' to achieve the Bliss greater than it, so it goes back to the unknown.[/U] This is how your prayers should be, anyone who wins 'the means' should spend it to the unknown, why?
It is for the sake of the competition for the love and nearness of God to be continued.
Brothers, no one has ever spent like the spendings of the aspirants of the greatest Bliss , those are the supporters of the Awaited Mahdi in the era of Dialogue before his Appearance. Seriously, the servant who spends 'the Means' is spending a Garden as wide as Heavens and Earth, I swear by God who there is no deity but Him, that they doesn't feel like it's worth an atom weight of the pleasure of God within Himself, indeed, Paradise means nothing to him. I swear by God that this servant won't be pleased with it until his beloved Lord is well-pleased within Himself, not grieving nor sad.
O brothers, the servants of God, the greatest Bliss, are those who took the Pleasure of God within Himself as an objective, not a means to achieve the lesser Bliss. They took the Pleasure of God as their utmost goal. So, why wouldn't they be pleased until their Lord be pleased?
It's due to their great love for their Lord, and they discovered it after Al-Imam Al-Mahdi clarified to them that God is grieving and sad. Since then they said:
What is the benefit of Paradise and its Bounty while our God, the most thing that we love, is grieving and sad? We swear by God that we will not be pleased until our Lord is well-pleased within Himself.
I assure you that, by God, who there is no deity but Him, if God spoke to them in this life and the hereafter from behind the veil and said: You must be desperate for Me to be pleased within Myself because there are lots of My servants wronged themselves.
Verily, those who wronged themselves with evil have regretted the duties they neglected towards their Lord. (Except for the devils, as devils should taste the bad consequences of their evil first)
Here we are talking about the misleading ones. Nevertheless, we are concerned neither with those who obtained God's wrath upon them, nor with those who will not take the way of the right guidance if they see it, and also nor with those who know Muhammad, the prophet of God, like as they know their children and don't admit the truth from their Lord, those are devils. So we are now talking about those who went astray in life thinking they are rightly guided.
Anyway, I say that: if God talked to His servants, the worshipers of the greatest Bliss, from behind the veil and said: You have to lose hope in the Pleasure within the self of your Lord to be fulfilled as there are lots of My servants wronged themselves.
Then, what would be the answer of those servants to their Lord?Despite that endlessly there would be no hope to attain the greatest Bliss, then what would they say?
They would say:
Our Lord, we have a request, so make us between Paradise and Hell to share grief and sadness with You eternally, as we would never ever be pleased with Paradise. We swear by Your Might and Majesty that we would never be changed in the least.
Brothers, those are the Honored Delegation before the Lord.
The pious would be gathered before God, the Most Gracious, as an honered delegation, not to Paradise or Hell, as on the other hand, we find those who feared their Lord would be gathered to Paradise. But the pious would be gathered and lifted before the Most Gracious as companions standing on pulpits of light because they would refuse Paradise.
As Angels would try to lead them to Paradise, but they would refuse, despite their enlightened faces, which means that they are not of the people of Hell, as the faces of the people of Hell seem to be covered with patches of the darkness of night. Despite those pious people would have enlightened faces, but they would refuse to enter paradise, then why?
So God would command the Angels to put pulpits of light under their feet, and each one of them would be lifted on his pulpit above the rest of the servants of God. To whom? To God, the Most Gracious, the Owner of the Throne, each one would be elevated according to his degree regarding his Lord. And they would talk with their Lord, Glory be to God. The result of that speech and the response of The Lord to them that He owns the whole intercession is verified by the word of God, the Exalted:
Meaning, God's mercy rescues from His torment, as no one could ever intercede with The Lord, glory be to Him. You have no one but God to protect and save you, as the whole intercession is for God. (note: as nothing but God's Mercy would save from His torment) But, glory be to God, the Great, those people would be gathered before their Lord as a delegation and would have a speech with Him, asking Him to fulfil the Greatest Bliss. (to be Well-pleased within Himself by forgiving the wrong doers who has been regretted) Then suddenly, the response would come from the Lord, glory be to Him, the Exalted in Might, telling His servants who wronged themselves that He has forgiven them all, permitting them to enter Paradise and join the rest of His servants.
And it would be a great surprise, as those wrongdoers would ask the honored delegation who were gathered before God, the Most Gracious, about the response of their Lord. And the delegation would answer that:
The Lord said the truth, He is the High in Might, the great.
In line with the Word of God:
