| Bio: | Indeed Allah and His angels shower blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe, shower blessings on him and greet him abundantly. (al-Ahzab 33:56) O Allah send Your prayer upon him from whom burst open the secrets, from whom stream forth the lights, and in whom rise up the realities, and upon whom descended the sciences of Adam, by which all creatures are made powerless, and blessings upon him before whom all understanding is diminished. None of us totally comprehend him, whether in the past or the future The gardens of the malakut blossom with the resplendence of his beauty, and the reservoirs of the jabarut overflow with the outpouring of his light. There is nothing that is not connected to him, because if there were no intercessor, everything to be interceded for would vanish, as it is said. Bless him with a prayer that is worthy of You, from You, as befits his stature. O Allah indeed he is Your all-encompassing secret that leads through You to You and he is Your Supreme Veil raised before You, between Your Hands. O Allah include me among his descendants and confirm me through his account and let me know him with a knowing that keeps me safe from the wells of ignorance, so that I might drink to fullness from the wells of excellence Carry me on his path to Your Presence, encompassed by Your Victory, and strike through me at the false so that I may destroy it. Plunge me into the seas of Oneness, pull me out of the morass of metaphorical Unity, and drown me in the Essence of the Ocean of Unicity until I neither see, nor hear, nor find, nor sense, except through It. O Allah make the Supreme Veil the life of my spirit and his soul the secret of my reality and his reality the conflux of my worlds through the realization of the First Truth. O First O Last O Manifest O Most Hidden Ya Awwal Ya Akhir Ya Zahir Ya Batin Hear my call as You heard the call of your servant Zachariah and grant me victory through You, for You and support me through You, for You and join me to You and come between me and other than You— Allah - Allah - Allah draw out the first or last vowel of the Name 12 beats Indeed He, Who ordained the Qur’an for you, will return you to the station of your Ultimate Destiny. (al-Qisas 28:85) O Lord grant us from Your Presence Mercy and endow us, whatever our outward condition, with sure Guidance.
