"Ahmad, what happened to you in Holland is a gift from our
Grandshaykh Abdullah ad-Daghistani at a later stage you will
understand this better".
Shaykh Ahmad ones said;
One of the blessings of my Grandmaster in 1986 in England was
that he appeared to me in the night and said to me:
"Come"
My Grandshaykh reached out his hand to me and held it saying:
"Come", I shall introduce you to Khidr(A.S)
At that very same moment, thanks to the blessing of my
Grandmaster I stood in front of Khidr(A.S) and received his
blessing as well. After this particularly great blessing my
Grandmaster said:
"Ahmad, one day you will meet Khidr(A.S) together with me
once more"
Ahmad tried to follow his Grandmaster as well as he could and
with Allahs blessing he succeeded in bringing many seekers to
his Grandmaster. In 1990 he invited his Grandmaster as a guest
of honour at a Sufi-camp. At that moment the Grandmaster was
in Germany. Then his Grandmaster told him to act on behalf of
him and to represent him wherever he went. There were several
Sufi-camps and gatherings and ever more new people got
acquainted with the blessed Naqshbandi Tariqat. In 1994 he
became increasingly aware of the hidden "Opening" and
gradually he felt its importance growing thanks to the spiritual
guidance of his Grandmaster. In 1995 his younger brother
Djailani passed away from this world and this weighed heavily on
him.
In his own words he tells about this experience;
On the 7th day after my younger brother had passed away I
called out full of grief;
"Oh Allah cherish me with Your Love now that I need Your
Embrace most, I do not know how, but if it is possible please
embrace me with Your Holy Breath".
I got up and suddenly I was whirled around in a forceful spin by
an invisible force. While this was taking place the Grandshaykh
of my Grandmaster appeared to me and while I was whirling,
Grandshaykh Abdullah ad-Daghistani (Qad) spoke in my heart;
"Ahmad, you have been chosen by Allah and His Prophet (SAW)
for the Mevlevi Tariqat, to be the Imam of the Mevlevi Tariqat".
During this occurrence everything disappeared from my heart , I
felt my self completely empty everything I knew was gone. I
was totally at a loss and when I called out to my Grandmaster
for help with the words, "Meded Ya Seyyidi", I started whirling
straight away. Again and again my Grandmaster brought me into
a state of "Hal" and in my heart I was led by my Grandmaster
and by the spiritual presence of Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi and
Grandshaykh Abdullah ad-Daghistani, into the secrets of the
knowledge of Haqqani-Mevlevi Tariqat, knowledge that had never
been opened before. My Grandmaster prevented entrance to this
gnosis from the outside, like a pearl protected within its shell.
He passed on an intimation from the Holiest Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) telling that I was chosen by Allah and His Prophet (SAW).
Because of the fact that the Grandmasters kept me whirling all
the time and the fact that I was not yet allowed to reveal the
secret, people began to say that I was mad and many of my
friends distanced themselves from me. And as Allah Almighty
had ordained , it was going to happen. In 1996 when I was alone
sitting in our Mosque in Ridderkerk, my spiritual Grandmaster
appeared to me and he asked me if I had any questions.
In my heart I knew that my Grandshaykh knows everything
about me, I asked him if I could go to Konya to visit the
Grandmaster Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi,
my Grandmaster put his sjahada finger up to Heaven and like a
bow of the rainbow he make a bow with his sjahada finger and
touching the floor before me he said;
"Ahmad this Place is now Konya, and you are now Rumi, Allah
will bring Konya to you, tomorrow you will receive a portent".
The following morning the telephone rang and a friend from The
Hague told me, Ahmad the Shaykh from Konya, Shaykh Nuri
Hadji Baba will shortly come to Holland and I wanted to ask you
if the Shaykh can do the Dzikr in your mosque on Thursday?
Earlier I had already received this message from my
Grandshaykh and my answer was of course that they would be
very welcome. Shaykh Nuri Hadji Baba visited our Mosque on
Thursday 31st October 1996 and did a Grand Dzikr. The following
day Shaykh Nuri Hadi Baba was going to Sint Niclaas in Belgium
and he asked me to join him. The Shaykh asked me to lead the
Friday prayers and after that, the Shaykh began to do the
Mevlevi Dzikr. Gods Love made the dervishes whirling and after
some time the Dzikr was ended. That night, on the same place,
another Dzikr was going to take place. Shortly before the start of
the evening programme the Shaykh asked a dervish, named
Nahid, to ask me the following question,
"If the Shaykh Nuri Hadji Baba asks you to go back to Holland,
what will then be your answer ?"
I said immediately that I would act on his request. Then the
Shaykh Nuri Hadji Baba told an older dervish, named Hafis, to
lead the programme. The Shaykh said that he would accompany
me back to Holland. Everybody was very much surprised,
because many people had especially come to see the Shaykh
from Konya and they begged him to stay. But Shaykh Nuri Hadji
Baba, left all his dervishes and people behind and sitting next to
me in the car he said to me;
"Holland"
I did not hesitate for one moment and left for the Netherlands.
We stopped in my town and in that holy night we stayed for a
definite period of time in our Mosque in Ridderkerk. Allah knows
what took place during that night, which had only become
possible thanks to Gods blessing. Then I thought of the words
spoken by my Grandmaster;
"Ahmad, you are now Rumi and Allah will bring Konya to you"
After that Blessed Holy night with Shaykh Nuri Hadji Baba, the
next morning one of the dervish came to me, and the dervish
Nahid told me;
