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

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
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			armor that is a witness to
something better. The armor of
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:36
			love of marhaba the armor of
