Awliyaullah are for many-many years waiting and expecting for Heavenly Support. They are so interested in Heavenly Support because it will come with so many knowledges that never have come before. Normal human being does not have "himmah" about those knowledges. So, they never talk about it, they never think about it. While Awliya'ullah think of it every moment and expect that Heavenly Support to come in any moment.

What it means with Heavenly Support is that as much as dunya now is filled with Ignorance and injustice, it will be filled with Light, Justice, and Knowledge. That is why, Awliya'ullah are praying that this Heavenly Support comes at their time, that it fills the Ummah with Joy and Happiness.

And that Heavenly Support is Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam. As Prophet *sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam has said that Mahdi alayhissalam will come when injustice and ignorance are filling up this dunya (world).

Now, in this month, manifestations of different knowledge have been coming and manifested to Prophet sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam, who then will open them to Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam, who then will open to his 40 caliph and 59 deputies; and from them to Awliya'ullah.

Awliya'ullah are very happy in this Ramadan because of this opening. It's like a small hole in a wall, slowly-slowly opening up more, that you can enter in it. And it will become huge like (waterfall ?). From every corner this knowledges are coming.

Awliyaullah will give the knowledge to their student from far away, to their heart, and they will understand it. That (knowledge transfer) happens even without the student aware of it. Some of them, depending on their level are being given drops of it. The rest, they will not know it until the time comes.

This action is already taken, and full preparation is done, especially during the Night of Power, Laylatul Qadr, when everyone is undergoing ascension. Everyone will reach different points of Ascension. Because Allah is All-Powerful to creates different points of stations.

Our Shaykh has been ordered to give a speech in the Association of Saints (Diwanul
'Awliya') in the presence of Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, in the presence of Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam, to address 40 calipha, 59 deputies, and 124.000 saints about the strategy of how to distribute this knowledge. He addresses them and they understood what their position will be and what they are going to do, to give knowledge to their followers.

They are waiting for the signal from Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam, to vibrate different waves and sounds on earth. Scientists will be astonished of these sounds coming from out of earth. In reality it is knowledge coming to the heart of the students. It is like Heavenly Melodious Music. This has been decided in this Month.

Those who receive it, (receive the knowledge) should keep it for themselves, not to tell anyone else. Because it will become show-off then. And they should be encouraged to follow the footsteps of Prophet sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam, like the sahabah follow his footstep, and also to follow the footsteps of our Shuyukh.

In the 1st Heaven, Allah ordered Angels to move with Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam, to reach everyone who is going to be living in that time. There are 7 groups that is going to ensure safety of those who will be with Mahdi: Budala, Nujaba', Nuqaba', Awtad, Akhyar, Jin, and Malaikah. Even if accidents happen, those whose names are already written to be in that time, they will be safe.

They are going to understand the secret meaning of Laa ilaaha illAllah, Muhammadur Rasuulullaah. When Mahdi 'alayhissalam coming, first, he will teach the secret of this kalimah Laa ilaaha illAllah, which describes the secret of Oneness that Prophet Muhammad sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam has experienced during his Mi'raj (ascension), he will expose a drop of that secret.

Then, Mahdi 'alayhissalam will describe the secret of Muhammadur Rasuulullah, which is the secret of Ittiba' (to follow), through the Holy Quran and Shari'atun Nabiy sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam.

When these secrets open, the hearts of human being will be rejoicing through this Heavenly Vibrations that they are going to be in the presence of Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam riding horses, flying and moving through the Maqomut Thayy (the Station of Folding Spaces and Time).

After understanding Oneness & Uniqueness of Allah SWT, there will be no more shirk. Even now, when we say Laa ilaaha illallaah, we still bear hidden shirik within us, this is what Prophet sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam was worrying about the hidden shirk within his Ummah. But, at that time, when Mahdi *'alayhissalam* open, this hidden shirk will be gone. "Alaa bidiinillahi ad-Diinul Khaalis"

"......with religion of Allah is Pure Religion."

When this is open, people will be seeing themselves flying in sky to Mahdi 'alayhissalam, who will appear in Sham (Damascus and its vicinity). Mahdi will call to take away that AntiChrist, to take darkness away from Earth.

The horse that time is not a normal horse, it is Heavenly Horse. That horse moves with heavenly beat, and with every beat, moves towards the Horizon; until be in the presence of Sayyidina Mahdi 'alayhissalam. He calls everyone to wait to take away darkness peacefully, no weapon needed, only Love to Allah SWT. He will be moving to get *Amanat *(Trust) of Prophet sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam, his Jubbah, his Turban, and the flag of Prophet *sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam*. That time he will be ordered to fight Anti-Messiah. Awliyaullah is preparing for that time.

May Allah bless you and give you life to see it.

Bihurmatil Habib, Al-Faatihah!
