He (peace and blessings be upon him) said (or words to that effect):\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;<strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">By the Power of my Lord!

Busy yourselves with abundant prayers upon me during these two days. I hear and answer every prayer you pray upon me and so it is for each of your deeds that are exposed to me, and may Peace be upon you<\/span><\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">It is reported by the companions of Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him), who had reached the spiritual opening, that the particular blessing of these two days reaches only those who had been chosen by ALLAH The All Knower to be among the people of bliss. So only those people will see him. Even if they are non-believers when they see him, they will die as believers.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was reported by the elite of the companions of Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him) that a Jew was sewing clothes for Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him). Some companions sat next to the Jew and began discussing amongst themselves the immense blessing of the vision of Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him) during these two days. They did not notice, but the Jew had heard all their discussion. The Jewish tailor made sure he finished his sewing on one of the two days, Monday or Friday.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 He sought permission to show his work to Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him), saying that he wanted to obtain dua from Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may ALLAH be pleased with him). Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may Allah sanctify his precious secret) was consulted about the request and he accepted. So the tailor entered and sat down beside him, looking at his face for a long time, and said to him, &#8220;<span style=\"color: #800000;\">O Sidi! I looked at your face on this day!<\/span>&#8220;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seyyidina Ahmed Tidjani (may Allah sanctify his precious secret) made dua on his behalf. After Seidina&#8217;s death (may Allah sanctify his precious secret), it turned out that the tailor converted to Islam and that he died a Muslim.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, it does not mean that the non-believers who saw him will enter Paradise if they died as non-believers. The author of Rimah related: &#8220;&#8221;<span style=\"color: #800000;\">A sultan visited the tomb of Abu Yazid Bistami (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: &#8220;Is there anyone who met and knew Abu Yazid?&#8221; An elderly man who was present nearby was pointed out and the Sultan asked him: &#8220;Did you hear some of his words?&#8221; He replied: &#8220;Yes, indeed, he said: &#8220;He who saw me, hellfire will not touch him.&#8221;&#8221; The Sultan was astonished and said to him: &#8220;How could Abu Yazid say that when Abu Jahal the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and yet the fire will burn him?\u00bb This sheikh explained to the Sultan: &#8220;Abu Jahal did not see the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he saw the orphan of Abu Taleb, if he had seen the Messenger of Allah (may prayer and peace of Allah be upon him) the fire would not have burned him<\/span>.&#8221; The Sultan was amazed again by his answer.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, in fact, Abu Jahal did not see Seyyidina Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon him) with respect, honour and the belief that he is the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him).\u00a0 If he had seen him with that gaze, the fire would not have burned him. Rather, he looked at him with contempt and the belief that he (peace and blessings be upon him) was the orphan of Abu Taleb and so this vision was of no benefit to him.<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, the blessing of the vision has two conditions:<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The first is to believe in it<br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The second is sincere love<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: &#8220;<strong><span style=\"color: #800000;\">You will be with the one you loved<\/span><\/strong>&#8221; and certainly sincere love gives the one who loves the desire to follow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He who does not fulfill these two conditions, will not be able to benefit from this vision, just as unbelievers did not benefit from seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">This vision is part of the divine blessings.
