Abdal Hakim Murad – The Adab of the Moment

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. Early he was

a happy woman while

moving further into the extraordinary profound sea of

Ramadan.

We consider another aspect of our neediness or if Tikar

Allah subhanaw taala says, and Tamil for Colorado Illa Allah, you

are the needy of Allah. And he is oh honey al Hamid, the wealthy,

which means the independent, the need, in this needless one, the

praiseworthy one.

And to the extent that we recognize the truth of that

inequality, that most radical inequality of our complete,

beholden this to him, and of his complete independence of us, we

will start to realize the depths of the meaning of the word Islam

itself, which has been brought to the surface for us through the

divine patience and the divine wisdom and the beauty of the

Sunnah in this most holy month.

What does it mean to be ABD?

What does it mean to be truly a servant in this state of OBO de

servitude, to the one who alone is not aboard, the one who alone is

do our obedience and our servitude and our fealty.

In this world, we come across so many hierarchies,

I owe a duty of obedience to my employer,

I owe a duty of obedience to my ruler, I owe a duty of obedience

to parents.

This is the way in which society in complex worlds complex

civilizations necessarily is structured.

And in that complicated web of relationships, and duties and

regulations. Sometimes the underlying reality which is in

reality, that it is a law, a law, the law you're about will be happy

and see where only God is truly and justly, to be the object of

Cambodia to be marked bored, some of that can be lost. To the extent

that we have all of these subsidiary relations in this

world.

A complex network of duties made ever more complex by the endless

proliferating of new legislation, and the very large claims which

the modern nation state makes upon us. To that extent, sometimes we

can be veiled by these lesser obligations from the ultimate and

immutable obligation, which we have towards the one who in

reality, gave us everything, and to Whom therefore, is an absolute

duty of respect and honoring and love.

In our all encompassing final Muhammad in Revelation, this

principle of human servitude and emptiness is particularly

emphasized. We are not a community of mediators, we are not a

community of intermediate hierarchies. We are a community

where the individual

engage engages with the motherboard to truly worship one

in an absolute way.

And this is one reason why the Sajida is kind of a symbol of the

religion of Islam. In other religions, sometimes there are

forms of bodily worship. Occasionally there is prostration.

But in this religion, which is the religion that is to be for the

ummah of the Hitomi, yet, there is a particular emphasis on this, the

absoluteness the starkness of human dependency, our naked

reliance upon the one from whom all blessings flow and in whose

hands is life and death, and the disposition of every breath that

we take.

This is said by the Allamah to represent the nature of the age of

distraction and complexity, for which the Mohammed and Wei is

designed.

Although there are features of primordial ality, in our religion,

and that is part of the Hitomi as well. It is also a religion which

is designed designed to provide us with a kind of lifeboat

in the increasingly stormy tempestuous seas that humanity has

brewed up for itself as a result of greed and the shocking

claim that we can be independent of the one who gave us everything.

In Al Insana layout of our Ira was stubborn there. One of the

earliest things with which the Qureshi were challenged was human

beings go beyond the boundaries become tyrants, because they see

themselves as independent.

We've declared UTI union unilateral declaration of

independence from the time of the Enlightenment onwards, and the

consequences of this, for human happiness, for human safety, for

the environment, for our peace of mind are ever more evident. We are

designed to recognize our status as matboard. And to the extent

that we reject that we become dysfunctional, and the soul

suffers relationships suffer, humanity suffers. Happiness is in

Obadiah.

So in the month of Ramadan, we are particularly reminded of this,

reminded of how much we depend on the divine risk, something that we

normally take for granted.

Currently, in places in Eastern Europe now, people find themselves

besieged and they can't find anything to eat or to drink. In

the modern world. This is an unusual panic inducing scenario.

It is said that the practice of fasting can be a kind of

preparation for this, and metabolic as well as the

psychological preparation for that. But otherwise, human beings

in today's world are like sleepy babies endlessly sucking upon the

milk of momentary satisfaction and gratification. And we just cry

when we're taken away from our pleasures, and our snacks and our

indulgences, and our treats for a few minutes. We've become very

childlike in our dependence.

One of the virtues that this month, inculcates in us, if we

approach it with an open heart and a humble spirit, is this

paradigmatically Islamic virtue of Tawakkol.

The story that is really at the essence of all of the prophetic

stories in the Quran.

It's the basis of the courage of the NBA app, and of those who

support the NBA.

Look at the courage of the mother of Moses.

Look at the courage of the mother of Asa, and of so many others. And

it's interesting that the women of the Quran are very often

characterized as being courageous women

that look at this a hobby yet, and the wives that the Holy Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam who was the one who, to whom the Holy

Prophet came after he had had the first enormous ripping of the veil

between himself and the tremendous Jellal of the angelic presence. To

whom did he say, was then Maloney who covered him while it was

Khadija and his household? Radi Allahu Anhu.

So we're not talking here about some kind of wanting male heroism,

we're talking about something that is deeper, and that transcends

such distinctions.

But there's that you, which has an inner strength comes not through

ego, the ego of the false warrior, the ego of the booster, the ego of

the one who cares about taking a selfie of himself standing on a

tank, but is instead the courage that comes from reliance.

On then yet what can Allah Allah for Hua hospital, whoever has to

work on reliance on Allah, He is enough for him.

And we know this mentally, but if we know it with our hearts, then

we will experience this extraordinary protection and the

extraordinary heroism and courage that can come from that.

We will overcome the lower self and we will embark upon the

journey to real humanity.

The humanity of those of whom it is said law often or lay him, will

love them yes or no unknown. There is no fear upon them. Neither do

they grieve. They're not afraid of the future. They don't grieve over

the past because they know they attain is that all is from the

Lord.

Whether it be the bitterness of his decree, or the sweetness of

his decree, it is all from him.

So this Tawakkol comes from a transformed mode of consciousness.

It comes from a kind of more shahada and ability to witness

that Allah is Allah coalition work ILA, the trustee, The Guardian,

the protector of all things, that whatever may come is by his

decree. That our responsibility through the adverb of the Sunnah

is to make sure

Now that we are in the right relationship to his decree,

whether or not victory comes at the end of it, whether or not

whatever might come, that the adverb of the moment is all of

Islam.

The past, con unreachable, unreal, the future, who knows,

the present is real, the moment the what. And it is our duty in

every moment to be attentive to what the real terracotta Allah is

doing for us to us Kula Yeoman, who if he shut in every day, which

the ultimate says in every moment, he is doing something.

And we need to see what he is doing with this inner eye, this is

an old boss era,

this is of inner sight. So that we do not become preoccupied by

apparent networks of cause and effect, which is so complex that

we'll become really anxious and miserable if we even try to think

about what caused what, although there are certain external are

that certain normal says that enable us to function, but the

reality is him doing everything in every moment.

And this is not easy to perceive. Some people only have a glimpse of

it once or twice in their lives, that they see that behind the

outward show of things that opera of human existence, how there is a

script and there is a reality and there is a settled truth. That is

actually all beauty and mercy, and correctness and absolute peace.

So this Tawakkol is the state which we seek to acquire. While

we're fasting.

We depend on Allah even though in our beginner stage, we're thinking

about trusting on him to provide something that if thar, but that

is still a lesson, to have the sober to have this patience to say

no I can manage for the next few hours. Without this sleepy,

sucking upon the teats of distracted. life support system

but I can go without for a while, is a very important lesson. It's

one of the first lessons in spiritual growth that we say we

can depend without indulgence.

And then at the deeper level, of course, the Sabra comes to an end

when the sun goes down and a period of chakra begins suburban

chakra always, almost identical twins.

And the Shaka gives this for her, as the Hadith says, Farhat on

either FITARA endophytic. The believer has a joy at his breaking

of the fast. But the lesson should have been learned that the heart

should have been weaned away just as the baby is weaned away from

the milk weaned away and grows into a greater maturity. To the

extent that we're dependent on immediate sensory pleasures. We're

like very small children and we're not really fully human in the

adult, mature sense. Maturity consists in self discipline, self

control, excellent character and sovereign.

So Ramadan is the time when we start to perceive the Creator as

work healer.

He will provide woman yet a worker Allah Allah He for her husband,

whoever relies on him, he is enough for him.

And even the very daunting sahih Hadith where he says sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam no to tell to him, Allah Allah He had that our

color that was aka comb Kana Yara, Zuko tyre.

Tattoo Kinison, Wataru hobby telnet

were you to rely upon Allah with the true Tawakkol he would provide

for you risk as he provides for the birds, which go out in the

morning, hungry and returned seated.

That's challenging, but it is part of Islam.

Of course, Islam also means you earn a living. It also means you

cook your dinner you serve your family, all of those obvious

things. And part of the Sunnah is to remind us of how to achieve

this subtle balance between on the one hand following the ASVAB cause

and effect in the world,

taking precautions and on the other hand, maintaining complete

tobacco and reliance on knowledge that Allah subhanaw taala is the

money is independent, and we are absolutely dependent upon him.

That is, if you like the subtle art of the Sunnah,

to live in the world and Islam does show you how to live in the

world. It's not a monastic tradition,

but at the same time to remember his absolute control and power in

all things. That's difficult to hate and Tawakkol have to be

combined and imambargah

ally in the hair on Ramadan has a whole book on Kitab Tohei do a

telecoil which is really all about how we can adorn ourselves with

this art of the Sunnah in order to maintain this balance that so many

of us get wrong.

So in this month of Ramadan, we should learn the principle of

reliance. It's kind of forced upon us in a sense during the day we

get into the habit it's habituation so that it does not

just evaporate again, when we're having our biryani in the evening

and our sweets on aid, but it becomes something that has had a

permanent transformative effect on the heart that we remember our

neediness that we are for caught up that we recognize that

everything comes from Him He alone is the Razak that we are people of

sugar as well as the sober that we are people who are loud or be him

yet our cologne as in the famous hadith of acacia, those who rely

on their Lord which is the quality one of the qualities of those

70,000 who enter paradise without recognizing.

Yet hold on agenda the lady who served in the sound Hadith in

Bukhari of acacia, and Acacia. Of course hearing this hadith says

Yara solo not only and Hakuna min hum Rasul Allah, he can't contain

himself, pray to Allah that I might be one of those 70,000 and

she prays

and somebody else says, Well, I know Yara Salah me too, obviously

everybody's going to say, please make this answered prayer for us.

And he says subaqua can be hard or cash or cash or beat you to it.

But it's up to Wakil. And it's about reliance, because Reliance

to Wakil is the essence of Islam. And in this crazy age, where so

much seems to be threatening us within and without an age of

tempestuous and misery inducing an anxiety causing desires. When

humanity is really suffering probably more than ever before in

history. Outwardly comfortable, if you're in a rich country, inwardly

shaky, that we need this principle of Tawakkol

we need to be in this shore ship of salvation, which is the Sunnah

of the chosen one sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and really put

Ramadan to work, really make use of it, so that we can be still

inside so that we can be calm inside and so that Ramadan offers

us a kind of vaccination, against the virus of materialism and

fearfulness that is going around in the world and insha Allah

vaccination that will last not just until next Ramadan, but will

make a permanent difference to us in sha Allah. So we ask Allah

subhanaw taala to make us have the motto alkylene and that we should

be benefited from the diet of the chosen one sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam who prayed for the people of Tawakkol and said that they

would be the people enter paradise without reckoning. A couple Allahu

minimum income was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
