this aphorism gives us a lot of hope, insha Allah,
it gives us a lot of hope, because
as you'll see,
it gives us an understanding of it gives us an understanding of the
purpose that we're looking for.
Generally, for us, we generally think that to reach Allah subhanaw
taala.
And we must think that way, we need efforts,
we need effort to attract the attention of Allah subhanaw taala,
then he gives us
a quick pass in.
So I think the conclusion of this is that
the effort is needed from our side first, generally speaking,
and then the father of Allah subhanaw, Taala comes in, his
funnel is always there, but
it comes even more afterwards.
So he says, if you are to be united with Him, meaning if you're
to reach him, this is his translation of Busuu. Also, I
personally wouldn't like I mean, I personally don't think that's the
best translation because it gives other connotations. But the idea
is that if a person wants to recognize Allah, reaching Allah
means recognizing Him, it being totally solidified in one's heart.
That's what mastery for means mighty for means I am utterly and
fully convinced that I am nothing and Allah subhanaw taala is
everything. And that's my reality. When you break through the
barriers of all of the murkiness of the dunya, and our perceptions
of thought, and everything else, and you reach that state, that's
what you call your soul.
So he calls it uniting. Anyway, if we were to, if you were to be
united with Him only after the extinction of your vices, after
you've removed all of your vices, and the effacement of your
pretentions, then you would never be united with Him.
If we had to wait until every vise in us and every weakness and every
pretense that we have
is to be removed, and we have to work hard for that, then we would
never be united with Him.
Instead, when he wants to unite you to Himself, He covers your
attribute with his attributes, hides your quality with his
quality. And thus he unites you to himself by virtue of what comes
from him to you.
What comes from Him to you, not by virtue of what goes from you to
him.
So at the end of the day, it's right from the beginning.
So right from the beginning, it is His grace, but then that grace
becomes even more manifest afterwards.
So even though I thought Allah was saying,
if you were to be united with Him, only after the extinction of your
vices and the effacement of your pretentions, you would never be
united with Him. Instead, when he wants to unite you to Himself, He
covers your attributes with his attributes, and hides your quality
with his quality. And thus he unites you to himself by virtue of
what comes from Him to you, not by virtue of what goes from you, to
him.
So the whole aspect here that's under discussion is the whistle,
how is whistle attained? And I said that this sounds very
promising. Because it tells us that it's not just a struggle on
our part, it's a struggle, it's a struggle at the end of the day,
how do you quantify our struggle? When is that point after which
Allah subhanaw taala will say, okay, tell us, what is that point
after which Allah subhanaw taala will say, Okay, now, I will bring
you to me.
Do you understand? So it's a struggle for us, we have to
struggle and struggle and struggle until that happens.
And even after that, we have to continue our efforts and our
struggle, but then after that, it will, things become different,
because now you're doing it with full recognition and the
conviction is stronger, and the love is there, so everything
becomes easier afterwards. Also do it Allah, what is Rasool Allah
Allah, we hear this all the time. It's the main feature of this path
also, il Allah that's
What we're all hoping for. And if you didn't know that, then now you
know that's the that's the that's the opposite of this path to
become better people but the whole point of it is to get to Allah
subhanaw taala before we have to stand in front of him in the
hereafter.
So to think that we can stand in front of him in this world and
that becomes a reality for us before we have to physically stand
before him in the hereafter and to answer for everything that's that
we've done. So also it Allahu Allah al Moby, he will be healthy
he was Will it Allah is the knowledge of Allah, the knowledge
of Allah and what he encompasses
to recognize full well what Allah is master of such behavioral yagna
manlam yocan in such that everything that is not Allah
subhanahu wa taala becomes oblivious in our eyes. Our gaze
doesn't turn to them at all. They're there that we're
interacting with them. But in terms of our feeling and our heart
of what we get and where our resources coming from. It doesn't
apply at all. We have common law musel and the one who will endure
forever which is Allah subhanaw taala he remains in our in our
site only.
And this cannot happen well Hala Cohn Illa de Moteino Foose, this
can only happen when a person has fully subdued the self, fully
subdued the self, what the rules and when to put the person puts
his head down and succumbs and is is is humble, not a person who is
arrogant. Well Bezaleel Urwa will be ill ashba
Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, in Allah hush Tara Mina,
Mina and Fusa home will be under Lahoma Jana,
Allah subhanaw taala has purchased from the believers, their new
foods, their souls and their wealth, and they will
in lieu of Jana, because for them in reward in return is Jana. So
that underscores this entire thing that we've sold ourselves anyway,
we've sold our wealth, everything that we have ourselves and our
wealth what's left. So we've sold that. So
what we get in return is gender, but gender you're getting the
hereafter.
That's the gym natural al-hurra. But then there must be something
you get in this world for it. So the gender of this world is gender
to modify gender to maarif
the paradise of this recognition of this knowledge of this Gnosis
and this is for the people who do the Jihad Al Akbar,
the greater jihad, because this jihad is with us all the time, not
only on the battlefield. This jihad is, every time when we're
eating when we're sleeping when we're thinking this Jihad
continues to take place, which is the jihad against enough's.
That's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said more to
cobbler in the mood to die before you die. And obviously, the two
deaths that are indicated here refer to two different types of
deaths. The second one refers to the mortal death that before you
actually die a mortal death, die.
The death of pleasures and
those type that type of death so that your other death becomes
easier for you. In the lotto, it will mean and
even auto, Allah says
Allah, you can only enter to Allah subhanho wa Taala from two
through two doors. One is an motile Akbar
which is the physical death that we die, the mortal death that we
die.
That's the bigger death that's well known. The second death is a
Motorola de Torino who had hit BIFA
it's the one which this group of Sufis, this group of the people of
Allah subhanaw taala will help you attain which is more than enough
who's
another great way of Allah says intuited was Solana for mo Touka
shorten
Leonardo we Solomon fee he favela who, if you want to reach us, your
mouth is a condition your death is a condition
anybody who has a remainder of that of the new foods etc. will
never attain it. Another statement says liar serial Willie you il
Allah heeta Allah wa mera who SHA two Min tuality altered to be
Roman to be Irati
What if Dr. Roman FDR RT
a person or when he
does not get to Allah subhanho wa Taala while he still has some of
his personal lowly desire
has remaining,
or any of his own
strategies remaining, or any of his own choices remaining.
So it's essentially suck. Totally giving yourself up to Allah
subhanaw taala.
Now,
think about it, how can you reach a status when you have no FDR,
when you have no choice of your own left, when you have succumbed
fully, how can you reach that yourself, understanding the nature
of the human being, this kind of Deus fear, this kind of
purification, this kind of status is pretty much impossible to reach
with one's own efforts. That's what he's trying to get at in this
whole thing.
This can only come from Enya from Allah subhanaw taala, this can
only come as a gift and a benevolence from Allah subhanaw
taala.
So, if Allah if a person is, if a person cannot reach Allah,
subhanaw taala without erasing all of their traits of this nature,
then
he will, he would never be able to reach. But Allah subhanho wa
taala, due to his benevolence, his honor, his
generosity has decided for certain people.
And this is all been decided already, that he will shorten
their way for them, you will actually give them this gift,
despite the fact that they don't have the ability. So it's almost
as if nobody is going to really get to the nobody's really going
to be competent fully by themselves. But we're going to
fast track a number of people because that's the only way to do
this, we've realized that Allah knew, I'm just saying, from a
worldly perspective, we've realized nobody is going to be
able to finish this course. So we're just going to fast track
certain people based on what we see of their efforts or our
decision based on that.
So what happens then is Allah subhanahu wa Tada illuminates the
path for certain individuals like that.
And then a person suddenly becomes oblivious to these things that
attract him, and that don't allow him to fully purify himself.
In that state, then a person then becomes purified from his evil
self.
And the whistle then takes place because it's almost as if Allah
subhanaw taala flung the door open, and sent a car out to bring
you in a special convey out to bring you in.
Now of course for that, a person will then reach a stage when a
person doesn't feel that he himself or she himself has any
ability over there themselves.
In terms of making the choice,
it will things will become easier for them to make the right
choices.
Because they will be fully musta rock in the love of Allah subhanaw
taala.
That gumbo Allah subhanho wa Taala will dominate for them, they will
go with the gum of Allah subhanaw taala.
What Allah subhanaw taala wants them to see from us is sit good
Bob.
That means
truly seeking him a true effort on our part, a true desire.
A true desire.
So you sit down for Morocco, you sit down for your vicar.
Sleep is overcoming you.
But you carry on through that sleep you just keep carrying on
you try to engage yourself.
That's the struggle Allah wants to show wants to see from us. What
happens with most of us is that when that happens, we feel what's
the point of this? Let's go to sleep. That's the Shakedowns
deception. Allah subhanho wa Taala at the end of the day is looking
at us from our perspective.
Which is okay, what is he or she trying to do in the circumstances
that they have.
So, if you find that the best time for your liquor is after fajr,
which generally is the best because February is that time for
John And Asa, they both the best times for it but acid is very
difficult,
as it is very difficult for most of us. Because Asser is a very
busy time. Generally speaking, it's either
three o'clock in the afternoon for us, or it's dinner time for us. So
acid is a very busy time.
The people who can do thicker after ourselves are really
committed. It's easier to do Fajr than after answer
for most people, for most people, except maybe in certain times of
the year.
The reason after fajr is easier is because we generally
do at home.
It's it's easier. But it's still difficult because you're fighting
sleep at that time. But it's something you have more control
over with us and you don't know where you're going to be at that
time.
You're generally engaged with something, people want you to do
something or you have to do something for someone, if it's
women, they may have to be cooking, or they may have to be
eating at the time.
Or something else of that nature or picking this children up from
school, if it's in the summer, or if it's in the winter.
So, after fajr is a time when if you make a habit, you can do it
because you have to wake up for future
or between tahajud and February is another one. So that's a more it's
a difficult time in a sense, but it's easy in the sense that you're
you only have your own self and your own sleep to contend with.
You don't have other people and other demands to contend with. So
let's just say that that's the time that you've made for your
vicar now.
Sometimes are probably going to be better than other times you feel
you'll feel sleepy in some times more than other times. But
mashallah you managed to pull yourself through and you do your
half an hour, one hour of liquor at that time?
Then that's what Allah is looking at, have you made an effort have
you set a time and in that time, despite the fact that sleep is
coming, this Court of nature, all of these things demands are
happening, you're still trying your best, you're not giving up?
Because what you're looking at is I understand Allah is the only the
person who understands Allah will know that He gives on efforts, not
on the form. So that should be in our mind when we're doing the
vicar as well. Of course, if we're doing vicar and we're not
concentrating at all, and we're just sitting there, using that
time to think and plan our day, then of course, that's a problem.
But if we're really trying to concentrate our hearts, then it
happens.
Most people they complain about the victory that I don't get the
concentration, if you really sit focused for it takes a while they
say but if you sit focus for three, four weeks it will have to
come it will come.
Because what happens is that because this clicker is a
difficult they can in a sense, you have to kind of find the right
spot. You have to kind of find the right balance.
Where you're away from your thoughts and everything else and
you are focused on the name of Allah subhanaw taala a lot of the
time people go through many complications in the sense of what
do I think about they think they should think about Allah you can't
think about Allah right now. We have no access to we don't know
him enough to think about Allah subhana wa Tada. That's why the
whole point here is to is Moravec with Chris Moravec just think of
Allah subhanaw taala.
So the whole idea of the newer coming down, and that is to just
get us into that mode that it's coming from Allah subhanaw taala,
my heart is being cleaned up. And I'm saying Allah, Allah. Another
thing, which is very effective is to imagine that a board is on your
heart, and you've written on the Allah. And then you're just taking
the name and there's an emanation from that board that's coming out
Allah, Allah Allah, that works very well as well. So different
Meshech within the next one do have these different ways of
helping people focus. Some people use this be
the banging of at the speed just to get in sync. Hola, hola. Hola.
Like that. So the whole point of using why There many ways is
because that's not the objective. That's just the means for us to
get to Allah subhanho wa Taala that when a heart takes enough the
name of Allah subhanaw taala, things will open up for them.
It's about concentration. This is the roots of meditation, in any
religion, there will be meditation, which they used to get
to some other weird situations, selflessness and this feeling of
this and that and, you know, whatever the case is, so we're
just helping ourselves get to Allah subhanaw taala because we're
so corrupted with so unpurified
So if a person takes the name of Allah subhanaw taala enough, then
it will become easier.
But that's the struggle if it was so easy, everybody would be doing
it. If it was that you could sit down and just close everything out
and just do it. Everybody would be doing it. But the reason why
it's not that easy is because it's a very, very valuable thing that
we're getting to do that in that concentrated way
with the heart
but the main thing is that
Allah subhanaw taala is going to give an out effort so we have to
just show our effort.
shakers, the rock mentions
that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada when he wishes to bestow something on a
servant
He will veil Your poverty, your need
with his enrichment.
So, you will become rich by way of Allah subhanaw taala
your, our physical poverty will be nothing then because we will be
enriched by Allah subhanaw taala
and
our humiliation, our loneliness, degradation will be veiled by the
honor and majesty of Allah subhanaw taala we are his now. So
we benefit from him, we benefit from all of these aspects of Allah
subhanaw taala our inabilities will be veiled by the coder of
Allah subhanaw taala
our weakness will be veiled by his strength
and
Allah subhanho wa Taala will make you witness these things.
Allah subhanaw taala will make you witness these things,
he will make you witness what is coming from him to you.
And you will start seeing the bounties of that you will be then
less focused of what you are doing for you have to do for him and
your efforts, you will still be doing them, but now you will bask
in the in the light of his trophy. Now, this is essentially another
way of saying the hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam that when a person comes close enough to me, he cannot come
close to me except by fulfilling the follow IDs.
So we cannot have any excuses with the follow ID that's absolute
basic
condition. Once a person is fulfilling the father is then it
says that then he gets closer and closer to me by fulfilling the
Nova filter the optional aspects
until I become the eyes which which is sees and ears which with
which he hears in the hands by which he touches and so on,
essentially the Tofik exactly what he's saying. So now you're
reaching him has been through virtue of his enabling you and not
through your own efforts. At the end of it.
Somebody has given an example of the knifes
says the knifes is like a charcoal.
Every time you wash that charcoal, with even soap what's going to
happen
it's only going to become more shinier.
It's only going to become more black.
It's only going to become darker.
If you
kindled it with fire,
you blow on it.
Then after that, that darkness will disappear.
Now it becomes blazing it becomes illuminated. So you try to wash it
nothing happens but when you Kindle it with fire, then this is
what happens.
Likewise,
when it comes to
the human traits and the human hearts, once Allah subhanaw taala
puts the Rouhani neuron it it will cover so you know when the fire is
kindling when the when you've kindled that charcoal with fire,
it's still black inside, but it doesn't look black anymore.
It's blazing now Subhanallah it's totally changed color from that
dark black, it's become bright. Still black inside, though. But
now it's a different thing altogether.
When Allah subhanaw taala is Rouhani no comes under huts, the
darkness of machinery, the darkness of our human traits, they
will not have they will not be manifest anymore. And this will
become Rouhani
so what is this fire that's going to destroy these Oh soft destroy
this outer darkness this darkness from our our our hearts. It's
going to be Mohyla fertile Hawa
opposing ourselves opposing our desires.
And okay, that one we all conceptually understand. The next
one is to humble enough Smith codewarrior
by burdening the self that by making the self carry and do that
which is difficult for it to do. This is generally where we fail.
We managed to do the vicar. We managed to do a few things as long
as it's within some level of convenience for us.
As long as it's within some level of convenience for us.
And every and our convenience is going to be as much as our
inspiration.
Right. The more inspired we are, the more we're likely to place an
effort and to sacrifice other deeds to do this for
when we're less inspired, which is most of the time we only get in
spired when we hear a good talk or we have a special, some incident
in our life or something of that nature
that's the problem that must become more important to carry the
burdens. Like for example, staying in a home, in a state of humility,
staying in a state of need with Allah subhanho wa taala, never
allowing arrogance to manifest, never allowing a sense of full
security that Allah subhanaw taala is not going to do anything for
me. Always vulnerability in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala
vulnerability in front of Allah subhanho wa Taala that stick to
continue along with the Kuru Ismail movement, along with taking
the name of Allah subhanaw taala, doing vicar of his name,
that all of that together. So as then, as this continues and a
person's bad traits start to disappear because of this constant
state.
Then his Rouhani will will strengthen until that Rouhani will
overcome his budget ear, his spiritual state will overcome his
material state, his desires will become more Rouhani than
Bashkiria. We already feel some of that when you're on the path. You
already feel some of that you're on the path, but generally
speaking, it happens and then it goes away. It happens and it goes
away. It gives us some sense of consciousness but it doesn't give
it to us fully all the time. The only time that you will get the
full suit is when our biggest Shashwat totally disappear and
eliminated for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. So Sheikh Abdullah
can go he mentions he says the whistle almost shahada witnessing
described earlier is attained when the ego becomes lifeless. Whenever
eek evil, quality and demand has been expelled from it, and it no
longer has any motives or desires. It becomes like a lifeless person
in the custody of a living person.
So it's still there, but it's lifeless. The attainment of such a
stage is beyond the ability of the servant on the basis of his own
efforts. If Allah Most High has decreed that a servant can never
reach him, unless he kills his ego by means of His own efforts, then
no one would have attained this proximity, because evil is the
natural propensity of the ego.
When Allah wishes to favor a servant with his proximity, He
illuminates the servant servant with the rays of his lofty
attributes. The servants attributes are then overshadowed
and concealed. This is what we have to understand, we may never
be able to erase them, but we have to make them like a lifeless body
because now they have become overshadowed by the Grace of Allah
subhanaw taala. The servants attributes are then overshadowed
and concealed. Thus the seventh reaches Allah Most High by virtue
of divine grace and mercy.
The servant does not attain will soul on the strength of his own
actions and struggle. In fact, that is not possible. So along
with all the efforts that we do, what is very important than from
this, if it's the Grace of Allah subhanaw taala that we want, so
what do we have to do on our behalf along with the efforts that
we do to do his dhikr and so on?
What is most important than between us and Allah subhanho wa
Taala what are we do what what are we to do with ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada
we have to make dua.
That's why dua is extremely important. That's why they say
after every time that you make your vicar or you do any worship,
it's a time of acceptance because you've just done something for
Allah then ask Allah O Allah, my effort has probably only gotten
me. You know this much, you take me the rest of the way.
My efforts were weak. They were contaminated, they were
adulterated.
I probably didn't have enough concentration. Oh Allah, you
accept it fully.
You accept it like you would do from
those you've chosen. Those are the kinds of doors we need to be
making.
With sincerity. Like with full understanding dialogue, I haven't
been able to do much, but Oh Allah, I asked you to take the
rest. Because it's vicar asking Allah subhanaw taala and working
under self to subdued ourselves. Those are the three things that
we're talking about here. The elimination of the natural
despicable qualities of the ego does not occur. Rather these lowly
attributes are overshadowed.
They become overshadowed by the manifestation of the radiance of
the divine attributes like that charcoal, it becomes illuminated
you can't see the darkness though inside it is dark. If that
illumination goes. If that fire is off, you will see that you wipe
over though you get rid of the white, the ashes it will be black
underneath it. Despite this, there is no escape from the right from
righteous action, struggle and purification for the servant since
it is the divine custom, that when the servant strives he receives
the Grace of Allah Most High that
Cost of attaining Allah's proximity is therefore not the
travelers effort but the Grace of Allah. When while the traveler
should not relax in his performance of righteous struggles
and actions, his trust should be only on the Grace of Allah Most
High.
If the traveler places reliance on his deeds, then it will become an
obstacle in his reaching the court of Allah as the object is to rely
on none other than Him. When I finished Hajj, I went to visit the
Sheikh. He was in Makkah at the time, and the nasiha that he gave
us look, thank Allah first, that He's given you the ability to
perform this hedge, because that's an absolute
honor of Allah subhanaw taala. And then do is still far for all the
shortcomings in it.
What this tells you is that acceptance is from him. And
clearly we generally have shortcomings.
And if he doesn't accept it fully, then who's going to accept it,
then all of our efforts have gone to vain. So let us ask him, first
thank him. He likes Shakur, and then ask Him to forgive us for our
mistakes with him. That's why we this is what sort of loss and loss
and tortoise after each Salaat as well. We read the TSP hard but we
also do is too far three times because of the mistakes we
probably made inside Salaat.
So that's where everything else and especially when you do an a
concentrated effort, like vicar sit down for vicar, and it with
the DUA especially it was of this nature. And may Allah subhanaw
taala give us the doshic Allah Salam when concerned about the
heterogeneity with the Kromme Subhan Allah in it and
Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad Divina and you say you
know what I'm gonna do about it because
we are sinful servants of Allah. We gathered here today to to
worship you to satisfy you. Oh Allah, we ask that you accept our

knifes and to reach you before we have to stand in front of you in

by the four locks and put us on the path to join. And the path to
satisfaction of Allah grant has generated for those of Allah grant
us the company of your messenger sallallahu alayhi wa salam. O

Allah, we ask that you protect us and our children until the day of
