“Be close with the Auliya Allah (Saints of God)
Because God’s Mercy, Guidance and Bliss flow through them endlessly
And everyone can receive it through them for free.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (Moharram 5, 1395AH – )
[In Bahasa]
“Dekatlah dengan para Wali Allah
Karena rahmat, bimbingan dan karunia Allah
mengalir melalui mereka tiada henti, tiada putus
Dan semua orang bisa menerimanya melalui mereka secara cuma-cuma.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )
“If Allah would love his servant He would call Archangel Gabriel and tell him “I love this person, therefore love him.” And Jibraeel would love him and call out in the heavens “Allah loves this person, therefore love him.” And the inhabitants of the heavens would love him. Then he would be embraced by the people of this world.”
~ Sayyidina Muhammad SallAllahu a’layhi wa-sallam (Sahih Muslim)
Narrated Abu Hurayra (r): The Prophet (SWS) said, “If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying: ‘Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.’ Gabriel would love him, and then Gabriel would make an announcement among the residents of the Heaven, ‘Allah loves so-and-so, therefore, you should love him also.’ So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth.”
~ Sayyidina Muhammad (SWS) [Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73 #66]
“And you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks and because they are not arrogant. And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because of what they have recognized of the truth. They say, “Our Lord, we have believed, so register us among the witnesses.”
( Surat Al-Maa’idah verse 82-83 )
“Verily, We did send down the Taurat (Torah) [to Musa (Moses)], therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah’s Will, judged the Jews. And the rabbis and the priests [too judged the Jews by the Taurat (Torah) after those Prophets] for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah’s Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My Verses for a miserable price. And whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are disbelievers. And We ordained therein for them: “Life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.” But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which Allah has revealed, such are the wrong-doers. And in their footsteps, We sent ‘Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (the virgin Mary), confirming the Taurat (Torah) that had come before him, and We gave him the Injeel (Gospel), in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Taurat (Torah) that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for those who guard (against their ego).”
( Surat Al-Maa’idah verse 44-46 )
“Yusuf (Joseph) said]: My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me the interpretation of dreams; The (only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, etc.) in this world and in the Hereafter, cause me to die as “one submitting to Your Will” (or translated in Arabic as: “Muslim”), and join me with the righteous.”
( Surat Yusuf verse 101 )
Hikmah #242
“Be peaceful with the Light of God within you
then you can bring peace from North to West to South to East
just by saying in your heart while meditating:
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar
(God is Great, God is Great, God is Great)
with Love, Love and Love.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (Moharram 5, 1395AH – )
[In Bahasa]
“Berdamailah dengan Cahaya Allah dalam dirimu
maka engkau dapat membawa perdamaian
dari Utara ke Barat ke Selatan ke Timur
hanya dengan mengatakan dalam hatimu saat bermeditasi:
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar
(Allah Mahabesar, Allah Mahabesar, Allah Mahabesar)
dengan Cinta, Cinta dan Cinta.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )
“The best form of devotion to the service of God is not to make a show of it. Live amongst people (regardless of their faith and religion) in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company. A person (regardless of his/her religion) is either your brother/sister in faith or your equal in humanity.”
~ Sayyiduna Shah e-Mardan Ali Ibn Abi Talib (karamullahu wajah wa radiyAllahu anhu)
“O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.”
( Surat Al-Hujuraat verse 13 )
“Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs.”
( Surat Al-Maa’idah verse 32 )
“And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed, all of them together. So, will you (O Muhammad SWS) then compel mankind, until they become believers. And it is not for a soul to believe except by permission of Allah.”
( Surat Yuunus, verses 99-100 )
“There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut (rejects evil) and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower.”
( Surat Al-Baqarah verse 256 )
“For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.”
( Surat Al-Baqarah verse 148 )
Hikmah #243
“say it softly with Love, Love, Love
in your heart:
Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah…
without anyone hear your voices
except God and the beautiful angels
surrounding and watching over you
Verily, it will bring Light and Bliss
into your heart regardless of your religion
There are some truths that cannot be spoken
But can be found and tasted in the silence of meditation
Meditation is not just sit, close the eyes and
aware of every breathing in and out
But also have to keep the mind, heart and soul
from anything what God forbids.
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )
“Indeed whosoever purifies himself (from ego) shall achieve success, and remembers (glorifies) the Name of his Lord, and prays.”

Hikmah #244
“If you want to get close with the Awliya Allah
who live in other countries so far away from you,
then close your eyes and imagine one of their
peaceful faces with Love, Love and Love…
And if your love is true, pure and sincere,
then the Divine Mercy, Guidance and Bliss which flow
through their hearts will be transferred into your heart
And you will learn gnosis (marifa) through their hearts
without need to meet them physically, it is called:
Minal qalbi ilal qalbi sabila, which means:
From heart to heart, there is a connection.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (Moharram 5, 1395AH – )
[In Bahasa]
“Jika engkau ingin bisa dekat dengan Wali Allah
yang tinggal di negara lain nun jauh darimu,
maka tutuplah matamu dan bayangkan salah satu
wajah teduh damai mereka dengan Cinta, Cinta dan Cinta…
Dan jika Cintamu sungguh-sungguh, murni dan tulus,
maka rahmat, bimbingan dan karunia Allah yang mengalir
melalui kalbu mereka akan tertransferkan ke dalam kalbumu
Dan engkau akan belajar Makrifat melalui kalbu mereka
tanpa perlu bertemu secara fisik dengan mereka,
hal itu disebut: Minal qalbi Ilal qalbi Sabila,
yang artinya: Dari kalbu ke kalbu, ada ketersambungan.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )
“And hold firmly to the (spiritual ethereal) cord of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you – when you were enemies and He brought (spiritually) your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And (ethereally) you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided.”
( Surat Aa’li I’mraan verse 103 )
“O ye who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.”

Hikmah #245
“In the realm of spirituality,
it does not matter of the distance of time and space
It is matter of the purification of the heart
Purer the heart, purer the soul
The purer the soul, the nearer is one
to the Prophets and Awliya Allah.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (Moharram 5, 1395AH – )
[In Bahasa]

tiada masalah jaraknya tempat dan waktu
Masalahnya tergantung pada penyucian kalbu
Semakin suci kalbu, semakin suci jiwa
Semakin suci jiwa, semakin dekat seseorang
dengan para Nabi dan Wali Allah.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )
“And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are (spiritually) alive with their Lord, receiving (spiritual ethereal) provision.”
( Surat Aa’li I’mraan verse 169 )
Narrated Malik bin Sasaa (r): The Prophet (SWS) said, “While I was at the House in a state midway between sleep and wakefulness, (an angel recognized me) as the man lying between two men. A golden tray full of wisdom and belief was brought to me and my body was cut open from the throat to the lower part of the abdomen and then my abdomen was washed with Zam-zam water and (my spiritual heart was) filled with wisdom and belief. Al-Buraq, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel. When I reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven gate-keeper, ‘Open the gate.’ The gatekeeper asked, ‘Who is it?’ He said, ‘Gabriel.’ The gate-keeper,’ Who is accompanying you?’ Gabriel said, ‘Muhammad.’ The gate-keeper said, ‘Has he been called?’ Gabriel said, ‘Yes.’ Then it was said, ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!’ Then I met Adam and greeted him and he said, ‘You are welcomed O son and a Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the second heaven. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel said, ‘Gabriel.’ It was said, ‘Who is with you?’ He said, ‘ Muhammad’ It was asked, ‘Has he been sent for?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ It was said, ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!” Then I met Jesus Christ and Yahya ( John ) who said, ‘You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the third heaven. It was asked, ‘Who is it?’ Gabriel said, ‘Gabriel.’ It was asked, ‘Who is with you? Gabriel said, ‘ Muhammad.’ It was asked, ‘Has he been sent for?’ ‘Yes,’ said Gabriel. ‘He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!’ (The Prophet added:). There I met Joseph ( Yusuf ) and greeted him, and he replied, ‘You are welcomed, O brother and a Prophet!’ Then we ascended to the 4th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met I’dris (Enoch) and greeted him. He said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and Prophet.’ Then we ascended to the 5th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in previous heavens. there I met and greeted Aaron who said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and a Prophet”. Then we ascended to the 6th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Moses who said, ‘You are welcomed O brother and. a Prophet.’ When I proceeded on, he started weeping and on being asked why he was weeping, he said, ‘O Lord! Followers of this youth who was sent after me will enter Paradise in greater number than my followers.’ Then we ascended to the seventh heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met and greeted Abraham who said, ‘You are welcomed o son and a Prophet.’ Then I was shown Al-Bait-al-Ma’mur (i.e. Allah’s House). I asked Gabriel about it and he said, This is Al Bait-ul-Ma’mur where 70,000 angels perform prayers daily and when they leave they never return to it (but always a fresh batch comes into it daily).’ Then I was shown Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e. a tree in the seventh heaven) and I saw its Nabk fruits which resembled the clay jugs of Hajr (i.e. a town in Arabia), and its leaves were like the ears of elephants, and four rivers originated at its root, two of them were apparent and two were hidden. I asked Gabriel about those rivers and he said, ‘The two hidden rivers are in Paradise, and the apparent ones are the Nile and the Euphrates.’ Then fifty prayers were enjoined on me. I descended till I met Moses who asked me, ‘What have you done?’ I said, ‘Fifty prayers have been enjoined on me.’ He said, ‘I know the people better than you, because I had the hardest experience to bring Bani Israel to obedience. Your followers cannot put up with such obligation. So, return to your Lord and request Him (to reduce the number of prayers.’ I returned and requested Allah (for reduction) and He made it forty. I returned and (met Moses) and had a similar discussion, and then returned again to Allah for reduction and He made it thirty, then twenty, then ten, and then I came to Moses who repeated the same advice. Ultimately Allah reduced it to five. When I came to Moses again, he said, ‘What have you done?’ I said, ‘Allah has made it five only.’ He repeated the same advice but I said that I surrendered (to Allah’s Final Order)’” Allah’s Apostle was addressed by Allah, “I have decreed My Obligation and have reduced the burden on My slaves, and I shall reward a single good deed as if it were ten good deeds.”
~ Sayyidina Muhammad (SWS) [Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54 #429]
“And how many a generation before them have We destroyed! Can you see (through the third eye) a single one of them, or hear (through the spiritual hearing) from them the slightest whisper (living in another space time dimension)?”
( Surat Maryam verse 98 )
Hikmah #246
“Although real Awliya Allah (Saints of God) will never claim themselves as Awliya Allah but people around the world can get connected spiritually with them all the time and receive their blessings and spiritual help for free WITHOUT NEED TO MEET PHYSICALLY. And how can one do that? That is by imagining their peaceful faces especially in difficult times. If they are really Awliya Allah then only by imagining them, one can at least receive three spiritual blessing. First, spiritually relieve from confusion and heavy burden. Second, become peaceful in heart, soul and mind. Third, draw near one more and more to God and eternal bliss. So, if someone now feels spiritual emptiness and spiritually unhappy, then feel free to imagine with Love and Respect one of “those who are considered as Awliya Allah” and he/she will then spiritually happy and satisfied in himself/herself. Awliya Allah are the tools of God to spread Divine Light, Love, Peace and Happiness over this world through their pure heart, mind and soul.
Awliya Allah are very sincere people. They never seek rewards, nor praise in doing their duties as Messengers of Divine Light, Love, Peace and Happiness. They are very sincere like Moses, Aaron and Elijah for the Jews, Vyasa for the Hind, Buddha for the Buddhist, Socrates for the Western Ascetics, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ for the Christians and very sincere like Prophet Muhammad (SWS), Shah e-Mardan Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (r) and Imam Mahdi for the Muslim.”

Hikmah #247
“Some of the Awliya Allah have great spiritual power. However, they will not use them unless God (Allah) wants them to use it. But the best group among them are those who do not need to show their spiritual power to bring many people back to God. Real Awliya Allah never claim themselves as the Best or the King (Sultan) or the Leader of the other Awliya Allah. Why? Because the Awliya Allah know each other well, know each ranks except for the Hidden Awliya Allah such as Al-Khidr (as), only Allah knows best their ranks.”
~ Yos Wiyoso Hadi (5 Muharam 1395H – )

( Surat Yusuf verse 109 )
Narrated Abu Hurayra radiyallahu a’nhu, I heard Allah’s Apostle (SWS) saying, “My example and the example of the people is that of a man who made a fire, and when it lighted what was around it, Moths and other insects started falling into the fire. The man tried (his best) to prevent them, (from falling in the fire) but they overpowered him and rushed into the fire”. The Prophet (SWS) added: “Now, similarly, I take hold of the knots at your waist (belts) to prevent you from falling into the Fire, but you insist on falling into it.”

Mereka (para penduduk) menanggapi: “Kamu tidak lain hanyalah manusia seperti kami dan Allah Yang Maha Pemurah tidak menurunkan sesuatupun, kamu tidak lain hanyalah pendusta belaka”. Mereka (para utusan/rasul) itu berkata: “Tuhan kami mengetahui bahwa sesungguhnya kami adalah orang yang diutus kepada kamu”. Dan kewajiban kami tidak lain hanyalah menyampaikan (perintah Allah) dengan jelas.”
( QS Yaa-Siin ayat ke-13 sd ke-17 )
“Kami tidak mengutus seorang utusan pun, melainkan (berbicara) dengan bahasa ibu kaumnya, supaya ia dapat memberi penjelasan dengan terang kepada mereka.

“Harith ibn Malik al-Ansari (r) passed by the Prophet (SWS) who asked him, ‘How are you this morning, O Harith?’ and he replied, ‘This morning I am a true believer in Allah.’ The Prophet (SWS) said: ‘Take care of what you say, for everything has a proof to it, so what is the proof of your belief?’ He said: ‘I have turned myself away from this world by keeping awake at night and staying thirsty by day; and I can almost see the Throne of my Lord in full view before me, and I can see the people of the Garden visiting each other, and the people of the Fire wailing to each other.’ The Prophet (SWS) said, ‘O Harith! You have realized (the truth), therefore cling to it.’ Some versions add, ‘(This is) a believer whose heart Allah has illumined.”
