MUQODDIMAH (INTRODUCTION)

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى مِيلَادِ
صَلَوَاتِ النُّورِ الْمُتَّصِلِ
نُورًا لَنَا مِنْ نُورِ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ
يَرْفَعُنَا إِلَى جَمَالِ نُورِ مُحَمَّدٍ

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى أَبِينَا مُحَمَّدٍ
وَعَلَى أُمِّنَا فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ
وَأَلْصِقْ قُلُوبَنَا بِنُوْرِهِمَا دَوْمًا
وَاجْعَلْنَا فِي سِلْسِلَةِ ضِيَائِهِمَا سَرْمَدًا

يَا أَبَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ
عَلَيْكَ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ
نَحْنُ نَحْيَا فِي ظِلِّ نُوْرِكَ
وَأَنْتَ نُورُ مَعْبَرِ رُوحِي
فَصِلْنِي بِنُوْرِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي
اجْعَلْنِي فِي ضِيَائِكَ سَاكِنًا

أَمَّا بَعْدُ

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

All praise be to Allah for the birth
of the Sholawat of Connected Light,
a light for us from the light of Fatimah az-Zahra,
elevating us to the beauty of the light of Muhammad.

O Allah, send blessings upon our father Muhammad,
and upon our mother Fatimah az-Zahra.
Attach our hearts to their light always,
and place us in the chain of their radiance eternally.

O my father, O Messenger of Allah,
upon you be blessings and peace.
We live in the shade of your light,
and you are the light of the passage of my soul.
Connect me with your light, O my master,
and make me dwell in your radiance.

Amma ba'du (Now then)...

PREFACE

START WITH SHOLAWAT
This book consists of two inseparable parts: Sholawat Nurul Muttashil and Sulam Nurul Muttashil. Sholawat is the practice. Sulam is the explanation of that practice.

You do not need to understand theology first to practice Sholawat. Simply read and practice the Sholawat Nurul Muttashil found in Chapter VIII. From there, guidance and direction will be felt.

LIKE A FETUS IN THE WOMB
The essence of this practice is the realization of existence. Not imagining the union of existence with Allah, but realizing oneself like a fetus in the womb: it does not need to know the face of its mother, does not need to understand the mechanism of growth, it only needs to receive and feel the blessing of nurturing, protection, and care.

Such is stillness in the Light of Muhammad — not a technique to be learned, but a condition received in ittishal (connection).

NOT A NEW TEACHING
All concepts in this book are derived from the Qur'an and Hadith. Terms such as wushul, ittishal, or mahdiyyin may seem unfamiliar, but their meanings can be understood after practicing Sholawat.

THE TABULA RASA METHOD
The author emptied himself from the understandings of previous scholars while writing this book. Not to belittle tradition, but to allow truth to speak directly from its source.

NAME AND LICENSE
Zainal Ibnu Zahr is not the author's birth name. This name is used as a sign of humility and a marker of trust. This book is freely authorized (ijazah) to be practiced, disseminated, and adapted with proper attribution. It is prohibited to add one's own name as the creator.

1. Begin with the Muqoddimah and Sholawat Nurul Muttashil in Chapter VIII.
2. Practice it regularly.
3. If you wish to understand the foundations, read Chapters I-III.
4. If you encounter obstacles, read Chapter V.
5. If you wish to understand the entire system, read Chapters IX-XI.

LANGUAGE
The spelling in this book has been simplified. Diacritical marks above or below letters are not used, making it easy for anyone to read.

"Everything that originates from Light will return to the Source of Light."
