Der er egentlig ikke behov for en diskurs. Dette har v\u00e6ret en aften med det, der kaldes samaa’<\/em> – som ikke er musik, men at lytte. Hele denne aften har v\u00e6ret en undervisning. Allah talte til os i Surah Ya Sin, og store ‘ulama’ og shaykh’er talte til os i de qasidahs vi sang og tekster vi h\u00f8rte l\u00e6st op. Men der kan v\u00e6re en fordel ved at komme med et par pointer. Ledsageren Hassan ibn Thabit, m\u00e5 Allah v\u00e6re tilfreds med ham, skrev i sin ber\u00f8mte qasidah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammed er et menneske, men alligevel ikke som nogen anden;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

nej, han er en fejlfri rubin, mens andre mennesker bare er sten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Og al-Busayri sagde i sin qasidah al-Burdah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lad v\u00e6re med, hvad de kristne har p\u00e5st\u00e5et for deres profet \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00e5 ros ham som du vil, men g\u00f8r det klogt.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

Disse to vers s\u00e6tter parametrene for at n\u00e6rme sig Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred. Et menneske ja, men langt st\u00f8rre end modernister siger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profeterne og sendebudene, fred v\u00e6re med dem, sendes til folk i deres tid og deres lande for at demonstrere, hvad et menneske er, og vejlede dem til at blive virkeligt mennesker. Profeten, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, blev sendt for hele menneskeheden af ??enhver race og farve, ethvert sprog og kultur, fra hans tid til tidens ende. Hans m\u00e5de oph\u00e6ver alle de tidligere religioner og m\u00e5der. Vi er arten, der skal vise os, hvordan vi kan v\u00e6re, hvad vi er ved \u00e5benbaring. S\u00e5 hvis Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, er vores model for, hvad et menneske er, hvordan forener vi det s\u00e5 med humanismens tidsalder, som p\u00e5 en eller anden m\u00e5de forestiller sig, at den allerede ved dette?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P\u00e5 arabisk har insan \u2013 menneske, som flertal b\u00e5de nas og ins. Disse leder os til to forskellige r\u00f8dder. F\u00f8rst, nasiya \u2013 han glemte. Det siges, at summiya al-insana li-annahu nasiya \u2013 [mand] blev kaldt insan, fordi han glemte det.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, glemte ikke, som vi glemmer. En gang da han bad to rak’ah for en af de fire rak’ah salah’er, og ledsageren Dhu’sh-Shimalayn mindede ham om det og spurgte, om salah var blevet \u00e6ndret, eller om han havde glemt det, og andre bekr\u00e6ftede, hvad der var sket, han, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, sagde: “Jeg glemmer, eller jeg er foranlediget til at glemme, for at jeg kan etablere sunnaen.” Engang spurgte ‘A’ishah: “Allahs sendebud, sover du, f\u00f8r du g\u00f8r Witr?” Han sagde: “‘A’ishah, mine \u00f8jne sover, men mit hjerte sover ikke.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men glemsomhed har et andet aspekt: ??at glemme fejl beg\u00e5et mod en, skader og forn\u00e6rmelser. M\u00e6nd og kvinder husker disse nogle gange gennem hele deres liv. Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, glemte de uretf\u00e6rdigheder beg\u00e5et mod ham, og de skader og forn\u00e6rmelser han modtog og meget mere. Han bar aldrig nag. Hvis han blev vred, var det kun for Allahs skyld. Da Allah gav ham \u00e5bningen af Makka til islam, tilgav han Quraysh for alt, og det inkluderede alle de frygtelige strabadser, han og hans ledsagere havde udst\u00e5et i Makka, og de m\u00e6nd som blev dr\u00e6bt af dem i kampene. Dette er en h\u00f8j og velsignet forglemmelse. Det er kun en af de mange karakteregenskaber, som er det egentlige form\u00e5l med at blive sendt. Han, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, sagde: “Jeg er kun blevet sendt for at fuldende karakterens \u00e6dle kvaliteter.” Han fuldkomnede dem i sig selv, men ogs\u00e5 han i sin rolle som murabbi<\/em> der fremmede v\u00e6kst hos andre, perfektionerede dem i sine ledsagere. Allah sagde, det der betyder, “Og du er p\u00e5 en enorm karakterform”. Disse karakteregenskaber kaldes futuwwa<\/em>, et begreb der er d\u00e5rligt\/sl\u00f8jt oversat som ridderlighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den anden rod til ordet insan er anisa<\/em>, som betyder at v\u00e6re elskv\u00e6rdig og omg\u00e6ngelig. Af vores natur er vi socialt omg\u00e6ngelige skabninger, og vi er famili\u00e6re. Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, demonstrerede perfekt, hvordan man bliver gift og f\u00e5r b\u00f8rn. Beretningerne hans hustruer, b\u00f8rn og tjenere fort\u00e6ller om ham er lysende. Men mennesket har altid levet socialt i bredere forstand end familie, og de sj\u00e6ldne undtagelser som eneboere pr\u00f8ver reglen. At samfundslivet normalt blev eksemplificeret i byerne, men fra historiens begyndelse har byen ogs\u00e5 v\u00e6ret problematisk. Byerne i Mesopotamien som de sumeriske og babyloniske var baseret p\u00e5 korn, men s\u00e5 kommer \u00e5ger ind i historien, og slaveri af de g\u00e6ldsatte. Gr\u00e6kerne fors\u00f8gte, at danne deres byer, kaldet polis<\/em>, p\u00e5 grundlag af indsamlingen af ??frie m\u00e6nd og deres beslutning om ting sammen, ikke p\u00e5 en monarks beslutning, og dette kaldte de demokrati. Romerne dannede en republik, hvor alle samfundets klasser undtagen slaver og kvinder var repr\u00e6senteret. Men det blev til et imperium, og imperiet er baseret p\u00e5 kommando fra centrum. Verden ventede p\u00e5, at Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, for at komme og lave hijrah til hans Mad?nah, hvor han under \u00e5benbaringens vejledning formede en modelby for menneskeheden. Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi kaldte bogen, der registrerer det mest detaljeret, Muwatta’en af Imam Malik, ‘planen for en oplyst by’. En af vidensfolkene sagde, at Maliks hadith er som at se direkte p\u00e5 Allahs sendebud blandt hans ledsagere. Og s\u00e5 for at konkretisere billedet, er der levende optegnelser om de n\u00e6ste to generationer i Madina, fordi det var et samfund i bev\u00e6gelse og udvikling. Som et samfund i udvikling har det fungeret som en dynamisk model for samfund lige siden og vil igen insha’Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Det ville have v\u00e6ret nok, men Allahs sendebud, fred v\u00e6re med ham, tog det videre: han lagde grundlaget for umma. S\u00e5 p\u00e5 trods af orientalistiske historikere har vi aldrig haft et imperium, hverken et islamisk, eller et abbasidisk eller et osmannisk imperium. Vores model er umma \u2013 et f\u00e6llesskab, hvis folk b\u00e5de eksemplificerer deres egne traditioner og kulturer samt tilpasser sig den velkendte oversigt over, hvad det er at v\u00e6re muslim, hvor den afrikanske muslim er autentisk afrikansk, ligesom kineseren er fuldt ud kinesisk. Dette er i modstrid med den modernistiske bev\u00e6gelse, som reducerer folk til at v\u00e6re d\u00e5rlige efterligninger af arabere. Og hvis man ikke skal blive araber for at v\u00e6re muslim, s\u00e5 beh\u00f8ver man bestemt ikke at blive pakistaner eller tyrkisk. Profeten var fuld af bekymring for sin umma i en s\u00e5dan grad, at han under sin natrejse og opstigning, som var hans n\u00e5ede det h\u00f8jeste punkt af \u00e5ndelig viden, kom direkte ind i Allahs n\u00e6rv\u00e6r, s\u00e5 ‘han var en afstand p\u00e5 to buer l\u00e6ngde eller endnu n\u00e6rmere’, hans bekymring for sin umma forlod ham aldrig, og han har gemt sin b\u00f8n til at v\u00e6re for hans umma p\u00e5 den sidste dag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Endelig er der selve ordet insan. Mand. Husk, at oprindeligt havde det engelske ord Man intet k\u00f8n. Det indikerede mennesket. ‘Isa, fred v\u00e6re med ham, blev rapporteret som at have sagt i evangelierne: “Mennesket skal ikke leve af br\u00f8d alene.” Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi, m\u00e5 Allah forbarme sig over ham, sagde: “Insan betyder ‘mand’, og det betyder ogs\u00e5 ‘\u00f8jets pupil’. Denne s\u00e6rlige f\u00e6lles s\u00e6tning er af afg\u00f8rende betydning for den m\u00e5de at tale p\u00e5, som er brugt af Shaykh al-Akbar, fordi han ser en meget vigtig betydning i, at insan repr\u00e6senterer mennesket, og det repr\u00e6senterer ogs\u00e5 \u00f8jets pupil. S\u00e5 den delte s\u00e6tning har to betydninger p\u00e5 samme tid.” (The Book of Tawhid)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Muhammeds vej siger Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi: “Ordet for mennesket har en rod NAS, der betyder: ‘at blive rystet frem og tilbage’, ‘at h\u00e6nge suspenderet’: INSAN har en parallel betydning, som er: ‘\u00f8jets pupil’. Mennesket selv er en vibrerende hvirvlende aktivitet af energi i uendelig bev\u00e6gelse \u2013 han h\u00e6nger suspenderet i kosmos p\u00e5 sin lille planet, og i det usete h\u00e6nger han suspenderet mellem de enorme formudsving, der udg\u00f8r Ilden og Haven. Samtidig er han universets \u00f8je, hvormed hans Skaber betragter hans skabelse.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allahs sendebud, m\u00e5 Allah velsigne ham og give ham fred, var al-insan al-kamil<\/em> \u2013 den fuldst\u00e6ndige perfekte mand, som blev sendt for at fuldende menneskeheden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Properly there is no need for a discourse. This has been a night of what is called samaa\u2018<\/em> \u2013 which is not music but listening. All of this night has been a teaching. Allah spoke to us in S?rah Y? S?n, and great \u2018ulam?\u2019<\/em> and shaykhs spoke to us in the qasidah<\/em>s we sang and texts we heard read out. But there might be some benefit in making a few points. The Companion Hassan ibn Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him, wrote in his famous qasidah<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammad is a human being, yet not like anyone else;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

no, he is a flawless ruby while other people are just stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And al-Busayri said in his qasidah<\/em> al-Burdah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave aside what the Christians have claimed for their prophet \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then praise him as you like, but do so wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two verses set the parameters for approaching the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. A human being yes, but far greater than modernists say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Prophets and Messengers, peace be upon them, are sent to the people of their times and their lands to demonstrate what a human being is and guide them to becoming truly human. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sent for all of mankind of every race and colour, every language and culture, from his time until the end of time. His way abrogates all the previous religions and ways. We are the species who need to be shown how to be what we are by revelation. So if the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, is our model for what a human being is, how do we reconcile that with the age of humanism that somehow imagines that it already knows this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Arabic insan<\/em> \u2013 human being, has as plural both nas<\/em> and ins<\/em>. These lead us to two different roots. First, nasiya<\/em> he forgot. It is said that summiya al-insana liannahu nasiya  \u2013 <\/em>[man] was called insan<\/em> because he forgot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, did not forget as we forget. Once when he prayed two rak\u2018ah<\/em>s for one of the four rak\u2018ah<\/em> salah<\/em>s and the Companion Dhu\u2019sh-Shimalayn reminded him and asked if the salah<\/em> had been changed or if he had forgotten, and others confirmed what had happened, he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, \u201cI forget, or I am made to forget, in order that I may establish the sunna<\/em>.\u201d Once \u2018A\u2019ishah asked: \u201cMessenger of Allah, do you sleep before you do the witr<\/em>?\u201d He said, \u201c\u2018A\u2019ishah, my eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But forgetfulness has another aspect: forgetting wrongs done to one, injuries and insults. Men and women remember these sometimes throughout their lives. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, forgot the wrongs done him and the injuries and insults he received and much more. He never bore a grudge. If he became angry it was only for the sake of Allah. When Allah gave him the Opening of Makka to Islam, he forgave Quraysh for everything, and that included all the terrible hardships he and his Companions had endured in Makka, and the men killed by them in the battles. This is a high and blessed forgetting. It is only one of the many qualities of character which are the actual purpose of his being sent. He, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, \u201cI have only been sent to perfect the noble qualities of character.\u201d He perfected them in himself, but also he, in his role as a murabbi<\/em> who fostered growth in others, perfected them in his Companions. Allah said, that which means, \u201cAnd you are on a tremendous character form\u201d. These qualities of character are named futuwwa<\/em>, a term which is poorly translated as chivalry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other root of the word insan<\/em> is anisa<\/em>, which means to be amiable, companionable, and sociable. By our nature we are societal sociable creatures and we are familial. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, demonstrated perfectly how to be married and have children. The accounts his wives, children and servants narrate about him are luminous. The human being has always lived socially in a wider sense than family, and the rare exceptions such as hermits prove the rule. That societal living was usually exemplified in cities. But from the beginning of history, the city has also been problematic. The cities of Mesopotamia such as the Sumerian and Babylonian ones were based on grain, but then usury comes into the story, and the enslavement of the indebted. The Greeks tried to form their cities, called polis, on the gathering of free men and their deciding on things together, not on the decision of a monarch, and this they called democracy. The Romans formed a Republic, in which all classes of the society except for slaves and women were represented. But that turned into an empire, and empire is based on command from the centre. The world waited for the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to come and make hijrah to his Mad?nah where under the guidance of revelation, he shaped a model city for humanity. Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi called the book that records that in the most detail, the Muwatta\u2019<\/em> of Im?m M?lik, the \u2018blueprint for an illuminated city\u2019. One of the people of knowledge said that the hadith of Malik are like looking straight at the Messenger of Allah among his Companions. And then to flesh out the picture there are vivid records of the next two generations in Madinah because it was a society in movement and development. As a society in development it has served as a dynamic model for societies ever since and will again insha\u2019Allah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would have been enough,  but the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, took it further: he laid the foundations of umma. So in spite of orientalist historians, we never had an empire, neither an Islamic one, nor an Abbasid one, nor an Ottoman Empire. Our model is umma \u2013 a community whose people both exemplify their own traditions and cultures as well as conforming to the well-known outline of what it is to be Muslim, where the African Muslim is authentically African, just as the Chinese is fully Chinese. This is contrary to the modernist movement which reduces peoples to being poor imitations of Arabs. And if one doesn\u2019t have to become an Arab to be a Muslim, then one certainly doesn\u2019t have to become Pakistani or Turkish. The Prophet was full of concern for his umma, to such an extent that during his night journey and ascent, which was his reaching the highest point of spiritual knowledge coming directly into the presence of Allah so that \u2018he was a distance of two bows length or even closer\u2019, his concern for his umma never left him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, there is the word insan itself. Man. Remember that originally the English word Man had no gender. It indicated the human being. \u2018Isa, peace be upon him, was reported as having said in the Gospels, \u201cMan shall not live by bread alone.\u201d Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: \u201cInsan means \u2018man\u2019 and it also means the \u2018pupil of the eye.\u2019 This particular shared phrase is of vital importance to the way of speaking which is used by Shaykh al-Akbar because he sees a very important meaning in the fact that insan represents man and it also represents the pupil of the eye. So the shared phrase has two meanings at the same time.\u201d (The Book of Tawhid)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Way of Muhammad<\/em>, Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi says: \u201cThe word for man has a root NAS, meaning: \u2018to be shaken to and fro\u2019, \u2018to hang suspended\u2019: INSAN has a parallel meaning which is: \u2018the pupil of the eye\u2019. Man himself is a vibrating whirling activity of energy in endless movement \u2013 he hangs suspended in the cosmos on his small planet, and in the Unseen he hangs suspended between the tremendous efflorations of form that make up the Fire and the Garden. At the same time he is the eye of the universe with which his Creator contemplates His creation. He is a gathering-together of all the forms, a resum\u00e9 of the whole creational process from the basic matrices up through the elements and plants to the highest complexification of aspects. And so he is also a small universe, just as the universe from what the Qutb said above, is nothing else but Al-Insanu\u2019l-Kabir, the Big Man. We are of course speaking here in the language of the Sufis and not in the language of ignorance and literalism. This does not lessen the veracity of the assigning to the cosmos the name of the Big Man, it is simply that literalist thinking is too primitive a method of reflection to grasp these matters. The Perfect Man is utterly aware and awake, permeated by all the Names and all the perfections of the Divine Attributes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was al-insan al-kamil<\/em> \u2013 the complete perfect man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
