Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

00:00:04 --> 00:00:09

Salatu was Salam ala acromial NBR even more serene Sayidina Muhammad

00:00:09 --> 00:00:13

in what other early he was softcopy age nine.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

In this month at this time of year, certain things become

00:00:20 --> 00:00:24

clearer. The human heart usually as a muddy, malfunctioning,

00:00:25 --> 00:00:30

neglected, withered organism, even though it's, as the Hadith says

00:00:30 --> 00:00:35

the key to the well being of all other parts of us, in the field,

00:00:35 --> 00:00:41

Jessa de la mandala, either solo hat sallahu Jessa dokolo. What is

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

Fs at that festival just had to call low Allah, wa he'll call but

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

truly in the body there is a piece of flesh which when it's sound,

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

rest of us is sound. And when it's corrupt, the rest is corrupt. And

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

it is the heart.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

This heart which has to do with consciousness, the eye the

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

selfhood

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

isn't necessarily an enigma.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:12

It's easier to see outside than to see within their divine horizons

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

outside but within

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

and because we are outward looking, and our jewelry, her

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

limbs and our senses are for experiencing the outside world.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

What is within is usually beyond our Ken

00:01:28 --> 00:01:33

that applies even to our physical organs. There is the liver, I have

00:01:33 --> 00:01:38

a spleen, kidneys, stomach, they're doing their job. I usually

00:01:38 --> 00:01:42

don't give thanks for them, but they're there. Miracles of divine

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47

technology, doing their job year after year, decade after decade

00:01:47 --> 00:01:50

and only start grumbling. When usually, through my own abuse,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

they start to malfunction but I can't see them.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:56

They're within.

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

But that's just the superficial within the real within is that is

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

the consciousness to what I am the neffs the self and that is an

00:02:06 --> 00:02:11

enigma, Neff spear more a murder. The self is a riddle.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

But Allah subhanaw taala has created the self and the heart

00:02:17 --> 00:02:21

which is somehow the place where the self is centered.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

To be an organ of perception,

00:02:26 --> 00:02:31

we perceive things, we learn things by heart, the heart

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

experiences, emotions and turbulences, intuition as the

00:02:35 --> 00:02:39

heart can even see, through dreams aspects of another world.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:45

The heart is clearly essential to what makes us many Adam, not

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

creatures of mud and clay, and dirt but angelic creatures to whom

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

the very angels can bow down. It's because of this eyeness This self

00:02:54 --> 00:02:59

this transcendence within that we are worth anything at all.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03

So we'd like to know what's going on there.

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

And

00:03:07 --> 00:03:09

the Companions asked the Holy Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

about the roar

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

and he has to say, Allah tells him

00:03:18 --> 00:03:24

Holy Roman, Amory, Robbie, Momo Tito minute I met de la kalila.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

The spirit is of the divine command or the divine affair,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

God's business and of knowledge you've been given that little so

00:03:32 --> 00:03:35

this most important part of us the thing that we really are is the

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

thing we understand least. And most of our mistakes, if not all

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

of them as human beings is because we're not really focused and not

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

really spiritually active, other bits of us impulses, half digested

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

memories, the longing for status, those other things pull us this

00:03:51 --> 00:03:58

way and this is Kadare mud, that, that pollutes the surface of what

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

should be a pure lake, a mirror that reflects the light of heaven.

00:04:04 --> 00:04:05

And that's our state

00:04:06 --> 00:04:11

that we have been in this month given the opportunity to calm down

00:04:11 --> 00:04:16

a bit. This as a retreat we are self isolating, even in normal

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

times. There's a little bit of RT curve in every Ramadan, we

00:04:20 --> 00:04:25

withhold our hands and therefore the heart is withheld from some

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

dunya pleasures and distractions.

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

Sophie that is Shayateen The devils are chained

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

in the shaytani Yejide Fubini. Adam a major dem for the Yoko

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

Mejuri he Bill jewel, the Holy Prophet says the shaytaan flows in

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

the son of Adam, along with a blood so narrow these arteries

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

with hunger

00:04:50 --> 00:04:56

that tends to break us. Arrogance is less. We have less energy for

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

stupid playing around, we become more serious

00:05:00 --> 00:05:04

is slightly broken, therefore more realistic and real human beings

00:05:05 --> 00:05:08

and at this time the heart can start to function.

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

Now Allah subhanaw taala has said that he has enabled the

00:05:13 --> 00:05:18

descendants of man of Adam Kolomna Benny Adam

00:05:19 --> 00:05:25

and also has said that at the higher degree of what we are, he

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

loves us.

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

This is in the Hadith and the word

00:05:31 --> 00:05:34

Allah is Allah Abdullah yet ACARA boo Allah been the Westphalia

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

Hatha or Heba

00:05:36 --> 00:05:40

my slave to sound, Hadith, Hadith, Godsey

00:05:41 --> 00:05:46

draws nearer to me, with optional acts until I love him.

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

God can love us for all of the mess that we represent. All of the

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

missed opportunities, all of the inattentive moments, all of the

00:05:57 --> 00:06:02

waste, like a machine that's never really used for the right purpose

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

or properly tuned or properly lubricated. It's kind of abused.

00:06:07 --> 00:06:08

What a waste

00:06:09 --> 00:06:15

is like having a Formula One car and using it to pull a plow or

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

something. That's not what we're for. We abuse ourselves.

00:06:20 --> 00:06:25

And, but Allah subhanaw taala has said that there is this love, and

00:06:25 --> 00:06:26

he has said

00:06:28 --> 00:06:28

that

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

the name of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is

00:06:32 --> 00:06:33

Habibollah

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

now this has to be a particular quality of the armor of Islam.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

Each armor has a particular fragrance a particular wavelength,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

a particular modality of being alive in the Spirit.

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

And this is indicated a number of Hadith were the founders of those

00:06:52 --> 00:06:53

almost are named.

00:06:54 --> 00:06:59

Sinha, Ibrahim alayhis. Salam is Holly Lulu Sedna Musa is Kaleem

00:06:59 --> 00:07:06

Allah say Nisa is ro Hola, Sedna North is Najee, Allah, etc. Center

00:07:06 --> 00:07:12

Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is named in the Hadith as

00:07:12 --> 00:07:14

Habibollah God's beloved

00:07:16 --> 00:07:21

and there is a particular dimension to the inner life of

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

Islam, the heart life of Islam that is that pertains to love. And

00:07:26 --> 00:07:30

in the month of Ramadan, we start to taste this. At least we taste

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

the love of the forms.

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

The Divine Love for the forms of Islam which are prophetically

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

gifted and which are beautiful. The fast is a beautiful thing. The

00:07:42 --> 00:07:47

prayer is a beautiful thing. There's a cat the Hajj, majestic

00:07:47 --> 00:07:50

and also beautiful. Allah loves those actions.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:53

And we learn to love them as well.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:58

And the Holy Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam were joined at

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

Quora to I NiFi Salette the delight of my eyes has been set in

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

prayer, to the extent that we progress and the ego stuff dies

00:08:06 --> 00:08:12

down, put back in its box kicked away, and we become real and

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

ourselves

00:08:14 --> 00:08:15

in this prophetic way.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:21

We really start to love the forms of Islam. And we love the prayer

00:08:23 --> 00:08:27

to alert Audra to it for solat that's a measure of our iman used

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

to say sallallahu alayhi wa sallam retina yo Bilal, give us rest with

00:08:31 --> 00:08:37

it. Oh, Bilal inviting him to give the Athan. It is the prayer that

00:08:37 --> 00:08:42

allows us to relax, to detox to be at ease, to be in a state of

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

equilibrium, the inward reality of what the outward form of the

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

prayer enact.

00:08:49 --> 00:08:54

So this quality of merhaba of love is fundamental to our religion.

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

And it is evinced by the Holy Quran its insistence again and

00:09:00 --> 00:09:06

again that we look at the wonders of the Earth around us. This

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

difficulty in the Wii hockey summer where it will all work

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

dilla Filoli won the heartland, yet in the old Al Bab way the

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

heavens and the earth have created a succession of night and day

00:09:17 --> 00:09:22

signs for people of understanding of lobe, Insight heart.

00:09:24 --> 00:09:29

And this seeing them as signs means love. You see the Divine

00:09:29 --> 00:09:35

Creator and His genius. He is workmanship in everything you

00:09:35 --> 00:09:41

can't help but love it. Who doesn't love beauty? Love is the

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

recognition of beauty and perfection. So we have to love

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

creation. We have to love the FT level LC nautical L one e COMM The

00:09:49 --> 00:09:54

diversity of your tongues and of your colors. The FT left the

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

diversity of creation is beloved. So we're to be lovers of God's

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

world.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:06

lovers of others, in whom are not just the outward FSOC sonori him

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

Tina Phil FLP Rafi unfussy him Pattaya Debian Allah home and the

00:10:12 --> 00:10:15

whole Huck we shall show them are signs on the horizon and in

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

themselves until it becomes clear to them that it is the truth

00:10:20 --> 00:10:26

within themselves in our inner eFax seeing the miraculous,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

unique, irreplaceable love ability of others,

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

to see others with the idol Marhaba. That's, that's the

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

miracle. And that is the gift of Eman not just seeing other people

00:10:39 --> 00:10:42

as fellow citizens with rights and responsibilities in a kind of

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

dull, cold liberal social contract, but loving them

00:10:46 --> 00:10:51

as showerhead witnesses to the Divine creative power revering

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

them, not because they are meat computers that will come to an

00:10:54 --> 00:10:59

end, and will malfunction sooner or later. But because they

00:10:59 --> 00:11:04

continue to draw the CALB because it is to them, the ancestor that

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

the angels bowed, so this is the religion preeminently of muhabba

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

and the Quran is endlessly inviting us to remember God but

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

also to think about the beauty in the world. And in the month of

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

Ramadan. As we look out of the window and we see the clouds go by

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

and as we hear the birdsong we see the beauty of everything. We

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

remember that he is indeed Habib Ullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

who Shetty has been brought in this form, which is a form of

00:11:31 --> 00:11:31

love.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:37

Well, Edina m&r I shed dog by Leila Quran says those who have a

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

man have more, greater, stronger, more magnificent love for Allah.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to purify our hearts in this fasting

00:11:46 --> 00:11:50

month, to give us the inner as well as the outward bodily reality

00:11:50 --> 00:11:54

of the fast to purify the hearts so that we start to see the light

00:11:54 --> 00:11:59

that is in God's creation, to love, the beauty that is in God's

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

creation and in each other, to make us people have terraeum of

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

mutual mercy, or people who are a light for the world to follow the

00:12:08 --> 00:12:12

one who is also to Allah Santa's an excellent example. And to be an

00:12:12 --> 00:12:18

example, for all nations as a true or mutton What are taught, so that

00:12:18 --> 00:12:23

we may be shahada Island this witnesses to mankind in a time of

00:12:23 --> 00:12:28

fear and division, and darkness and confusion and pestilence. An

armor that is a witness to something better. The armor of

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36
