			Salatu was Salam ala so you didn't

00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			Dean, mother and so in the
continuation of our series on the
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:22
			HECM the next wisdom that he
mentions is number 60. On page
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:31
			213, he says, ma bas are caught
Assan Verlin Illa Allah B three
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:37
			bomber in Mombasa Asano xuelin
Illa. Allah B's Retama in
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:43
			this one sounds a bit complicated.
It's actually a very simple idea.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			Very helpful and very beneficial
idea in sha Allah if Allah
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			subhanaw taala can enable it for
us. He says, if not I thought
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			Allah Iskandariyah Rahim Allah
says what it were it not for the
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			seeds of ambitious desire.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			The branches of disgrace would not
be lofty.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06
			Were it not for the seeds of
ambitious desire, the branches of
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			disgrace would not be lofty.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:15
			is connecting disgrace an
ambitious desire courageousness
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:21
			greed for things together? So he's
saying that the more there is
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26
			greed, the more possibility there
is for disgrace.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30
			And he mentioned it as though
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:36
			the seeds are what you plant,
generally it seeds that you plant
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:41
			and that is what develops into a
tree and into then branches. So
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			the seeds are the seeds of
ambition, ambitious desire, desire
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			for other than Allah, obviously,
you have to have a desire for
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			Allah otherwise, how you're going
to get to Allah, Paradise, the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:53
			happiness
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			and satisfaction of ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada. So this is saying that
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			when you plant the desire for
anything, but that anything for
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:03
			the world,
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09
			then you're sure to then grow from
the a tree and then the branches
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			of disgrace.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			The branches of disgrace would not
be lofty, he says.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			So this is a really interesting
idea.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			And
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:26
			as I said, to make sure that we
clarify you need desire in this
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			world, Allah has given us desire,
it's a human faculty to want
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:33
			something which is what drives us
is what gives us the ambition.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:37
			That it's what essentially,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			if a person didn't have any desire
at all, they would just sit back
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			and do nothing. So desire is a
good thing. So this is obviously
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			speaking about a specific kind of
desire, which is detrimental.
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:55
			So just for those who understand
Arabic says ma basilica of Sano
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			xuelin axon plural of Goossen,
which basically means branches
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			Ville means
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:06
			disk disgrace and bizarre but
Busuu means to become lofty, to
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:10
			grow tall, to be high. So the
branches of
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:15
			disgrace would never be high.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			In a busy determined bidder means
like a seat, and Tama means the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			desire and in this case, he means
desire for that which is not
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:30
			appropriate for us to have desire
in so now let's see what this is
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			saying. Say Allah subhanaw taala
says when nephila Bus equality
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			law, so the same word is used by
osteopath. But anyway to move on.
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41
			This is essentially saying that
you need to cut away all of your
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:46
			hope for what other people
possess. Whatever humans possess,
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:49
			you should cut away your hope that
you will get it from them.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			You can have a hope that it comes
from Allah, but you cannot have a
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			hope that you will get it from
them. Even though we see that we
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			actually do get things from
people.
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			On a day to day basis, humans
assist one another. That's
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			actually a characteristic of the
human being that we work together.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			Unlike some animals, some animals,
they work together, other animals
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			do it alone. But humans have to
work together because we can't
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			each one of us cannot produce
everything that each one of us
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:22
			needs. So then this seems
unrealistic. You know, for some
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			people, they may say, Well, this
seems unrealistic if you're
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			explaining that, to be cutting
away of having any kind of desire
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:34
			from another human being. So
that's the idea that to have your
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:39
			heart connected to this idea that
you will get it from someone else
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			meaning from another human being.
And then for your heart to then
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			not think about Allah but then
just to be focused on this other
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:53
			person on on whoever it is,
besides Allah subhanaw taala that
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:57
			is where you're going to end up
possibly, possibly with disgrace
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			Obal Ebersol mu
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			See, he says Wallahi Mara Ito is
ill if you refer to him at the
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			annual health I've never seen
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:14
			respect and honor except by
turning away from having any kind
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:19
			of anticipation from human beings.
But Rolla key rather keep the
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:24
			focus on Allah subhanaw taala.
Okay, so why is having this
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			ambitious greed from others? Why
is that going to be our disgrace?
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:33
			Why is it disk? Why is this grace
based on that? Well, the reason is
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			that the person who has this kind
of desire from other human beings,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:42
			they've abandoned the Mighty One,
and they've
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			become associated with a servant
who is lowly.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			So what do you expect when you've
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56
			abandoned the main source, or the
the source,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			the person has also abandoned his
noble lord, his benevolent and
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			Generous Lord. And he's put all of
his
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:10
			attention to a needy servant.
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			So then he will become needy in
the same way.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:23
			He is abandoned, putting all of
his anticipation and all of his
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:28
			hope in the one who is rich,
enriched independent from
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			everybody else. And along with
that, he's generous and
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:37
			benevolent. And he's decided to
put it down his anticipation with
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			some lonely miserable individual
in the sight of Allah, or as
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			compared to Allah subhanho wa
taala. Whereas you have to
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			remember that Allah subhanho wa
Taala is always going to be
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			providing a human being providing
his servants according to the how
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			much they think of him.
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:59
			The great greater bandwidth and Wi
Fi bandwidth you open up with
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Allah, that's how much more he
will provide you.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:05
			It's up to us to open up the next
band up.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			It's up to us to open up the next
package up.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:13
			But Allah subhanaw taala Kitten
has got enough, as much as you
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:13
			want.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			Also, another thing is that Allah
subhanaw, Taala has made us His
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:23
			servants, his slaves, needy of
him, independent from everybody
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			else, humans are generally
created, generally created free of
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			everyone else, as free free
people. So now this person has
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:36
			chosen by putting all of his
anticipation in someone else, to
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:38
			become a servant of another
servant
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:42
			of a creation of Allah.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			And a servant to his own desires
and his own pleasures.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			Why? How does that make sense?
Well, logically speaking,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:58
			whenever you begin to love
something, whenever you become
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			obsessed, and you need to be keen
to love something, you're going to
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:04
			have the full desire to attain it.
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:09
			Whenever you do that, you become
its servant, because in order to
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:11
			get it, there's going to be hoops,
you have to jump, there's going to
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:14
			be compromises you may have to
make, there's going to be
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			limitations, you're gonna have to
put to yourself, because when you
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:22
			want to get something, you have to
abide by the rules to get it. And
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			whenever you give up something and
you like, forget that when you
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:30
			give up any hope in something, you
become free of it. That thing
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			cannot control you anymore.
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			We get so many cases like this,
where there's a wife in a
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:39
			miserable marriage, generally,
it's going to be the wife in the
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			miserable mind in this particular
scenarios, where the husband is
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:49
			very abusive, but blackmails,
turns, torments and threatens with
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			divorce, separation, and she feels
helpless. She can't go anywhere.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			They've got children for the sake
of the children, but misery for 10
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:00
			years, 20 years, health is
becoming ill, and so on.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:07
			And sometimes it's the other way
around. Sometimes it's with a with
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			a partner in a business, sometimes
it's somebody else could be with
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:11
			anybody.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:16
			When they leave the abusive
relationship when they when they
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:19
			they know there's harm coming from
there, but they still think
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			there's some benefit coming from
there. That's why they hang on.
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			So only reason they hang on, I
asked these people I said, Why are
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			you still here? Why are you still
doing this?
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:35
			You're being beaten, for example,
you're being abused in this way.
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			You are you are being told to run
the expenses of the house. No wife
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:43
			should have to do that. You've got
grounds for divorce in Islam from
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:44
			a faith perspective.
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:50
			You hate him. You've been sleeping
separately in another room for
		
00:09:50 --> 00:09:52
			five years, seven years.
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			dealt with two cases recently like
that. Why do you stay together
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			in a loveless marriage
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			Ah, that's not Islam. So as you
say, because they think there's
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			something they can still get from
there, and the day that they give
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			up, the day that they release
themselves, they become free
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:14
			as long as they put their reliance
in Allah subhanaw taala. But they
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:19
			become free from this individual
or from this source of benefit
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:20
			that they feel they're getting.
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			That's why warmer or use them in
shaitan will refer to him as the
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:30
			one in La Quinta, hoorah. minnow.
Wherever you abandon your hopes in
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:33
			something that you're going to get
something that you're dependent on
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			that thing and you remove all of
your anticipation from nothing,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			then you become free of that
thing. Hopefully you don't jump
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:44
			from one pot into another pot. You
have to go to Allah.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:52
			That is why the poet says, Abba
till Mata Maru and to Hashem and
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:57
			to Hashem money in nearly every
house often sold to a lab, Doha,
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:02
			Roma satama. And well her Roma
Matata who Abdu
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:07
			says that all of these desires and
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			all of this obsession, etc, that's
failed to make me one of its
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			followers, one of its slaves.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:22
			I stay very strong in front of it.
I put my defenses up, I never
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:24
			become slave to any of my desires.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:29
			And then he says, a human being a
servant of Allah is only going to
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:30
			be
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:38
			free as long as they disobey these
ambitious desires. A free person,
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			as soon as they start to obey
their desires will become a slave.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			And as a simple fact that he's
saying
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			that's why in the third week, he
says, why couldn't you how are you
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			Hello, Abdu Ibrahimi and our
servants of Allah who should
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			become Ibrahimi. Like our Prophet
Ibrahim Ali is known as Allah
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			subhanaw taala mentions in the
Quran,
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:03
			your father Ibrahim Ali Salam has
said, Lo hibel Filene when he was
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:08
			having that whole experience to
give Gnosis about Allah subhanho
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			wa taala. He finally said, I do
not like those that set that those
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			that disappear. When he saw the
moon disappear, the stars
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:17
			disappear, LA or hibel faylene.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:21
			And we have to remember that
everybody but Allah is going to
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			disappear. It is in his nature to
disappear. We all know that when
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:29
			we buy something, it's going to
last for a certain amount. That's
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:30
			why we asked for guarantees to
hope we can
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:33
			keep it in good use until that
time.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			Now we're told to follow mil
letter A B come Ibrahim, Allah
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			says in surah Al Hajj, militare
Abiko Ibrahim, the way the path
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:48
			the deen the the religion of your
forefathers Ibrahim his way the
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:52
			fitrah which is the nature so
that's why it becomes wajib
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:55
			necessary unbelievers that they
must follow the
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:59
			the way of Ibrahim Ali salaam
that's where we get our guidance
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:04
			from. And part of the guidance
parts of the religion or the the
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:09
			way Ibrahim alayhis salam got his
success and made his way is by
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:16
			removing any any ambition to
creation so for example, the day
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:21
			you know the story the day that he
was thrown using a huge catapult
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			into this raging fire
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			Jabril Alistar now he this has to
be understood in slow motion he's
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			being thrown for a big distance
because the fire was so big they
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:34
			said they couldn't get close. So
then they came up with this idea
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			that they should build a catapult
so now he's on the category and is
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:42
			being thrown in then instance
right Gibreel Ali Salam comes to
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			him
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			and he says to him Allah Gohara
any need any needs he sees he's
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			obviously seeing you Brian That's
why he's come to his to his
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			assistance any need and this is a
Brian Melissa going into the fight
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			says Ibrahim Hassan calmly says
Amma ileka fella.
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:06
			Amma illega fella well Amma Illa
Allah He for Bella to you know,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:07
			but to Allah of course.
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:15
			So then he says Gibreel Harrison
then said okay, fine, why don't
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:17
			you ask him then go and ask him to
be nice, I wanted to save him.
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:22
			So then Ibrahim Allison says Now
imagine this is talking to a
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:28
			prophet a prophet of a high
caliber of high ambition. Will
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:31
			will ask me Mina Russell high
resolution speaking to the Arch
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:36
			Angel an angel is saying okay,
make dua to Allah plus l implore
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:43
			Him has been so early. L mu will
be highly. His knowledge of my
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			state is sufficient
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			for me, that I don't need to ask
him anything. There's no need to I
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			need to ask him he knows anyway.
He has knowledge of exactly what's
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			going on. Second millisecond, in
fact, pre knowledge. So if he
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			wants to say me, it's up
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			To him, essentially, this is full
submission.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			He's done his part. Besides that
he knows Allah, whatever he wants
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			will happen to him. This isn't to
say that you don't defend yourself
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:14
			if you're going to be thrown into
the fire. But here, he's already
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:17
			been thrown. He's already on his
way. What else is he going to do?
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:21
			The only one that can help him is
Allah but he knows, Allah knows
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			anyway. So he says, Okay, we'll
leave it to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			This is, I mean, don't I mean, I
don't want anybody to imagine from
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			this is something that we cannot
do, or that he was doing something
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:37
			that, you know, we cannot do? No,
we can do this as well.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			Again, it's very clear that once
you're in the air about together,
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			what else are you going to do?
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			The only thing you can do is
Allah, you can just put your
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			reliance and there's nothing else
you can do. But then we would have
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:50
			asked Allah.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:53
			He says, I'll leave it to Allah.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			How Ibrahim Hassan basically takes
away all of his
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			pleading to anyone else.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:08
			In fact, to get clean, but his
anticipation in any one, in fact,
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:12
			even with Allah, his connection
with Allah is such that look, he
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:17
			knows he loves me. I'm his
servant. It's up to him. So he's
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			not even asking Allah even that's
a means.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:23
			And that's not to say we don't ask
Allah we can ask Allah the Prophet
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:26
			salallahu Salam has mentioned so
many times, Allah has mentioned
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			the Quran where it doesn't ask
Allah, this. So he did not ask him
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34
			Gibreel he did not ask any help
from Djibouti lady Salam, and
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:37
			neither did he even decide neither
didn't even try to make a dua to
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			Allah subhanho wa taala. But he
done something else, he done
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:41
			something higher than asking him
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:48
			see because there's the sobre el
Bella and then asking Allah to
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			remove the test urine. But then
the highest status status is Radha
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			bill, Kedah, which is satisfaction
with your degree so you don't even
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:03
			ask Allah. One of our machines
that I can relate back to, like on
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:08
			probably the fifth one up of our
line, hygiene dollar 56 one up
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:11
			hygiene dad Allah once he became
sick, he became ill with some
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:16
			illness. And he decided, he says
Allah knows my state, I can ask
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:19
			him for Shiva because part of
asking Allah Shiva you can ask
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:23
			Allah for Shiva, is that I can ask
him for Shiva, but he knows so let
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:24
			me just leave it to him.
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:29
			I leave it to whenever he wants.
Now, if we're suffering from some,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:33
			some something, we're like, get
rid of it, please, Oh Allah, it's
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			a good thing to get rid of it. But
then there's a higher level again,
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:39
			remember this high level is as for
the living area that says that
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			it's not easy for everyone. So he
said, I'll leave it to Allah.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			Now, of course, when you leave it
to Allah, Allah sees that your
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:51
			reliance on him is even higher.
That Oh, he's put all of his
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:54
			reliance on Me then Allah is going
to give the best possible outcome.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			And you see that same story in a
Ugadi Salaam. He just leaves it to
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			Allah Allah gives him so much
better than everything that he had
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			lost in terms of his sickness,
illness, being deserted by
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			everybody and so on and so forth.
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:16
			Now this sounds complicated, but
slowly slowly we have to change
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:20
			our heart again this does not mean
that you don't ask somebody for
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:22
			help Hey, brother, you know I've
got a flat tire can you help me?
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			But in the heart, it must be that
only Allah is gonna help me.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:30
			Meaning only Allah is going to
facilitate this way. Only Allah
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			will facilitate this in some way
doesn't mean that you just sit
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			down think you can if you want to
if you've got that too much
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			stoical. But it's nothing wrong
with asking people but in your
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:40
			heart, you know, it's only Allah,
I'm gonna ask this person
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:45
			inshallah he'll help. It's up to
Allah if he helps. So he did not
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			ask Gibreel Ali salaam, anything
it did not try to ask Allah
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			anything. But he actually saw the
True One Who is Allah The only
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:57
			true one? Allah subhanaw taala
closer than Jibreel closer than
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			even his ask, imagine that
connection with Allah. May Allah
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:05
			grant has that kind of connection.
Ibrahim Ali Salam is not the most
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:09
			superior Prophet after Muhammad
Sallallahu Sallam except for good
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:09
			reason.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:14
			Among the hierarchy of prophets,
the highest profit is the Prophet
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The
one after him is Ibrahim Ali
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			Salam, even though he's the
grandparents of the Prophet
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:23
			sallallahu alayhi wasallam that's
where Allah subhanaw taala kept
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			him safe from them rude and all of
his other people, all of those
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			others that tried to intend evil
with him. And Allah subhanho wa
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			Taala gave him huge rewards
children at an older age. Allah
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			subhanaw taala gives them the
construction of the Baitullah. The
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:45
			whole Hodge event has continued
since his time, maca has actually
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			become inhabited and become a city
from his time, through his through
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:55
			his descendants. Subhanallah every
prophet that came after him is
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			pretty much from his descendants.
You don't hear about any prophet
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			after him that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			We're not from his descendants or
the Bani Israel, right? They're
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:05
			all from his descendants. Then
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:09
			sallam the final prophet is from
Descendants, all the major books
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			from prophets of his descendants.
I mean, Subhan Allah, I mean, you
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			have to be of somewhere, if we can
even put an ounce of a small
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			amount of Ibrahim Ali Salam stowa,
Coonan reliance and cutting away
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			from everyone else. I mean, you
can tell by his whole journey that
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			he just became aloof from everyone
else his, but it had to be from
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:35
			practice he, he dealt with the
idols, he looked for Gnosis
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:41
			through the stars, and eventually,
that way, so you have to make an
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:43
			effort from it, it's not going to
come just like that.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:50
			Part of Ibrahim Ali salaams
methodology, part of his way his
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:56
			mill is to essentially treat as an
enemy, anything that's going to
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:00
			take you away from Allah subhanaw
taala. treat that as an enemy, so
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:03
			shun it. And when you have an
enemy, you have to plan against
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:08
			it. You have to take precautions,
you have to have strategy. You
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			can't just stay heedless, because
enemies are those who are out to
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:16
			get you. So he considers all those
that take you away from Allah as
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:20
			enemies while there to get you. So
you have to take precautions. So
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:24
			then Ibrahim asks and this is what
he says. In throughout the show
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			Allah Allah says for in Ibrahim Al
Islam, quoting Rahim Romanism
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			says, For in the home I do, Willie
Ihlara, Bella Alameen. They are
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:36
			all my enemies, because they're
all there to take me away from
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:41
			Allah to pretend that they are the
gods pretend that they can sustain
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:44
			me that they can give me something
that I can put my hope in them.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:50
			They are all my enemies except the
True Lord of the worlds and uses
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:55
			the word Rob boll Alameen, the one
who definitely takes whatever his
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:58
			they are in charge of, they take
them slowly, slowly in every
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			stage, giving them what they want.
That's what you call Rob and the
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:04
			True Lord, the Lord is in
nourishes you, who sustains you at
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:09
			every moment. So if you want to be
truly enriched by Allah, then the
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			only way you can do that is to
just
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			cut away all of your hopes abandon
all of your hopes from anybody
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:19
			else, you can still ask them and
still talk to them assist one
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:23
			another and have that but your
understanding is that eventually
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:25
			it's all going to come from Allah
subhanho wa taala.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:33
			So shakable Hasson Shalini says, I
used to be enough. I used to mean
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:39
			never enough See, ly enough. See,
I used to mean enough enough see
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:44
			ly enough. See for K fella, I
assume enough lady LA. Only a true
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:48
			lover of Allah to the person whose
experiences can can say this. He
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:54
			says, I've given up hope of my own
self benefiting myself. I know
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:58
			that I fail so many times, in my
own self benefiting my own self, I
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:00
			want something, but I can't help
it.
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:05
			So if I've given up hope, in my
own self, benefiting my own self,
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			this really hits it home. So how
can I not give up hope in somebody
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:11
			else benefiting me?
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			I am most beloved to myself. I
love my own self more than anyone
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:18
			else. Genuinely, that's human
beings. But I cannot benefit
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:23
			myself the way I want to benefit
myself. How can I expect that for
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			any other human being to benefit
me in the same way?
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:32
			Then he says, what a Joe Tula
Haley's ad for Kayla or Julian FC,
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:38
			I have great hope I've hoped from
Allah in a love other people might
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:41
			you know, when people ask you for
dawns on you make dua for them
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:45
			from Allah. So if I have put my
hope in Allah for other people,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			then how can I not put my hope in
Allah for myself.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:53
			This is a true knower of Allah
subhanaw taala, who can say this.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			This essentially is you can say
the, they use a word which they
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			don't use too much. But this they
can say is like the miracle cure,
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:06
			the miracle strategy, the miracle
solution for everything, they
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:10
			would call it Kimia in those days,
which basically means alchemy,
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:14
			turning dust into gold. So that
was a symbolic idea that, you
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:19
			know, the most effective thing to
get to your objective. So he's
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:25
			saying that essentially, this is
he had, he had the, this alchemy,
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:27
			for him to be able to say this.
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			Anybody who has this eventually
afterwards, and he will eventually
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			gain such a richness and such
wealth that after that, there's
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:38
			going to be no need, you're never
going to feel needy, because you
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			always feel that Allah is going to
give you whatever you need, you're
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			always going to have honor and
there's going to be never any
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:50
			disgrace in that. And you'll be
able to then spend without feeling
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			like you're going to have to
deplete your,
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			your supply because your supply
will come from the infinite one.
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			And this is the alchemy of those
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			To really get the true
understanding from Allah subhanho
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:06
			wa taala, especially Kabul has an
also says that once there's a guy,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:11
			there's a person who wanted who
tried to, you know, he joined my
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:15
			company he would, wherever I go, I
see him in a Mercedes There he
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:19
			comes to sit in my class,
whatever. And I don't know, I just
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:23
			felt, you know, sometimes you see
somebody who comes to you who
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:26
			tries to visit you tries to meet
you all the time, it feels a bit
		
00:25:26 --> 00:25:30
			of a burden. You don't hit off
with that person, you don't have
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:33
			that kind of same feeling about
that person. So he says that it
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:37
			felt like a big burden on me. So
one day, what happened is that I
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			just was very frank with him, and
I openly spoke to him. And I said,
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:42
			like, what, why'd you come here
for?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:47
			Like, you know, what do you want?
Why do you come here for? So he
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:52
			opened up to me, right? So then I
said to him, you know, like, what
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:55
			do you need? What do you want?
Why? Why do you keep staying with
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			me? He says, oh, you know, my
master, they told me that you have
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:04
			the, the solution for life, you
know, like, the alchemy for
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:08
			happiness, the alchemy to you
know, get to where you need to get
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			to. So that's why I wanted to stay
with you. So I can learn it from
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			you. I can find what this magic is
that you have that everybody says
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:20
			that you have. So I said to him,
you're right. You are right. And
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:24
			whoever has told you this, they're
absolutely correct as well. But I
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:29
			don't think you're going to be
able to accept that the solution
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:32
			that I have, and this magic that I
have, I don't think you're going
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:34
			to be able to accept it is not
something you're going to be able
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:38
			to tolerate. Is there no, no, I've
come here. I've made so much
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:42
			effort cos I'm, of course I'm
going to accept it. So he said,
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:46
			Okay, Sheikh Hassan said, look,
what happened is that I did
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:48
			investigation, I
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			looked carefully and pondered over
the creation of Allah subhana wa
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:57
			Tada. And I found them to be of
two types. Broadly speaking of two
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:01
			types, they were those of the
Creation who are enemies, those
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:04
			things that distract and so on
their enemies, and who are active
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:09
			enemies. And then there are those
who are friends, too love their
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:14
			beloved ones, their lovers, right.
So I then investigated and looked
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:21
			deeply into the enemies. And I
eventually figured out that
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:25
			according to our deen, and so on
my enemies, active enemies, they
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			cannot harm me in any way that
Allah subhanaw taala doesn't want
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:32
			any way out there to harm you.
They can harm you, if Allah wills,
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			but they can only harm you as much
as Allah wills. So they can't hurt
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:38
			me any more than that, and those.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:42
			So then I decided that I don't
have to worry about them anymore.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			Meaning in terms of heartfelt
grief and those kinds of things,
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:51
			of course, I'm going to keep my
defenses up, and all of that, you
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:54
			know, because Allah has not told
us to be silly, that you know,
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:56
			somebody is going to attack me
just leaves the door open.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			I'm interpreting this for us, it
doesn't mean that you just sit
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:04
			there and put all of your, your
wealth out there, here, whoever
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:06
			wants to take it, take it and you
don't want them to take it, you
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:10
			know, you obviously have to do it.
But your hope is that it's only
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:12
			Allah that can protect you, you
know, the scams that take place
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			these days, when people take your
credit card, and so on. If you're
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:18
			going to be worried about that
every day, or people are going to
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			access to your bank account,
people are going to there's going
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			to be an email, of course, you
have to be careful that you don't
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:27
			receive any phishing email, and
that you don't respond to it. But
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			if you're going to be worried
because of that, you stop email,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:34
			you know, you stop email, things
like that, you stop going
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:36
			somewhere, you start going out of
your house, because
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			you know, like nowadays, there's
people knocking on your door
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:41
			pretending to be from the council,
and then they come and rob you,
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			especially the women and so on.
And because of that you can just
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:47
			kind of stop opening the door to
anybody is not even going to go
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:47
			there.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:52
			So it's not like that. It's just
that you know, from Allah, you
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:56
			have to take your precautions.
It's part of life. So anyway, I
		
00:28:56 --> 00:29:01
			just said forget the enemies. Then
after I looked into the friends
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:05
			and the lovers, I saw that
eventually I saw that you know
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:08
			what, they can actually not
benefit me. Except
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			with, they can't benefit me and
they can't
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			do anything for me that Allah
subhanaw taala doesn't want they
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:20
			can only benefit me as much as
Allah subhanaw taala once anyway,
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			so I said, Okay, forget them as
well. I can't have any hope in
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			them. Of course you have friends,
but I can't have hope in them. And
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:33
			I decided that my full time I
look, relationship and connection
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:35
			needs to be with Allah subhanaw
taala
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			that's when it was actually said
to me like, that's when it dawned
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			upon me or hear the voice or
whatever. There was a realization
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:47
			that hit him that you've come all
of this way now.
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:53
			But now you can still not reach
the reality of the matter, meaning
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:58
			the true reality until you also
cut all of your hopes from us,
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			meaning from Allah do
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			Just as you get carried away from
everybody else
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			and your only hope should be that
whatever we've already decreed for
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			you, you're gonna get that. That's
all you're gonna get. So even when
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			you put your hopes in Allah,
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			it's like if I want to marry
someone,
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:23
			then my hope should be oh Allah
make me marry her. Like, Oh Allah,
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:28
			if do the istikhara if it's good,
Allah, ordain it for me, if it's
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:33
			bad, take it away from me. Never
insist on something as far as
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:37
			possible, and that's difficult
sometimes, because you think you
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:40
			can have a inclination towards
that. But then you leave it to
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:44
			Allah. That way, Allah will give
you the best out of it. Because if
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			you insist on something, I want to
do this business, I want to buy
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51
			that car, I want to go on this
holidays locked down. But you
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			know, they say that this country
is okay, I want to go
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:59
			well, do istikhara and then see
how things pan out. And if Allah
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:03
			wills it for you, Inshallah, it'll
be good. These are complicated
		
00:31:03 --> 00:31:06
			issues. There are theological
issues included in that. But
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:10
			slowly, slowly, we ask Allah to
provide us the clarity of that.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			See, a person having a lot of
knowledge is not enough, that does
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:18
			not indicate the true
understanding of the human being
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:21
			about Allah subhanaw taala true
understanding. Likewise, a person
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			who constantly that is regular on
the vicar, that also doesn't give
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			enough of an indication of the
true risk, the true relationship
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:34
			and understanding that a person
has of Allah subhanaw taala the
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:37
			true thing that indicates towards
how much a person knows Allah
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			subhanho wa Taala and how much
light Allah subhanaw taala is
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:46
			sending them right is how much he
is enriched by Allah, how much he
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:51
			trust in Allah and just drops
everything else. He's always just
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:55
			looking out for Allah subhanaw
taala and he's keeping his heart
		
00:31:55 --> 00:32:00
			free from anybody else. Allah
subhanaw taala says in the Quran
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:06
			in In Central calf in Jalna murder
of the zenith Allah, Lena beluga,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:11
			who are you home, x and y Milla
that we've designated, we've
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:15
			placed everything that's on the
earth to be an adornment for it.
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:17
			It's an adornment for the dunya.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:22
			And that's what we get attracted
to. But we're doing that so that
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:26
			we can test them to see how
faithful they will still be to us,
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:30
			who will still be of the best
actions. So the best of actions is
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:35
			to get that true understanding
about Allah subhanahu wa taala by
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			becoming enriched by Allah and
nothing else, to have your hope in
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:41
			nothing else, to ask for your
support, to ask for your
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:46
			sustenance and everything from
Allah subhanho wa taala. One day
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:51
			earlier, the Allahu Anhu when he
was in Basra, he went to the big
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:57
			Masjid the German and he saw that
this is a big big masjid and he
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:01
			saw that by in different corners,
you know, like one here one by
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:03
			that pillar one by that pillar.
There's different
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:10
			sauce, storytellers. Why if you
know to tell good stories, just to
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:16
			provide good inspiration. He saw
them doing that. So he made one by
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:20
			one. He basically told him all to
stand up and leave when he came to
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			Hudson Boston, who was also
remember Hassan Al bacillary is
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:27
			from Basra. And he asked him a
question he tested him first. He
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:28
			said
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			he The reason he asked him a
specific question is because he
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:36
			saw on him some special
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			sign. He saw that he was
different, you know, he had
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:48
			that's sanctity, you know that
feeling of
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:54
			religiosity and piety on him. So
he said to him, young man, I'm
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			going to ask you a question.
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			If you give me a good response,
then I'll leave you here to carry
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			on your dose. Otherwise, I'm going
to make you leave here just like
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:04
			I've told everybody else to leave.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:09
			So then hacer la Sierra de la, he
said to him, you can please ask
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:09
			whatever you will.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:16
			So he said, Okay, what is the crux
of the deen? Like, what is this
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:21
			main feature? To get your to get
to the heights of your deen?
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			What's the pinnacle of your path
in your deen? He said
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29
			scrupulousness meaning to be
particular about what you do and
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:33
			what you don't do. Then he said to
him, What is the corruption? How
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			does the Dean become corrupt? How
does somebody's religion become
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:40
			corrupt? He said a tama to have
these vain hopes in other than
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:44
			Allah subhanaw taala he says,
Okay, you carry on into this fight
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48
			with Luca manyatta. Kelham Island
as you know you have a right to
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:52
			speak. You have a right to speak
to people. Ebola Ebola Ebersol
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:56
			mercy. He says that one day at the
beginning of my salute, the
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:00
			beginning of my efforts and on
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			The path to reach Allah subhanho
wa Taala when I started doing my
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:07
			Vicodin, and so on, I was in
Iskandariyah Alexandria. And I
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:12
			went to somebody who knew me. One
of the shopkeepers, I had some
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:16
			relationship with him, so I went
to him, and I purchased something
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:20
			for half a day. Okay, this cost
half addendum, in my heart, he was
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:26
			that he knows me. Right? So maybe
he's not going to, maybe he's not
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:29
			going to, maybe he's not going to
charge me. He knows me. So maybe
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:32
			he's not going to I was hoping
that he knows me. So maybe this is
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:35
			gonna say take it. Sometimes it
happens, right? If you know
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:35
			someone.
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			Now that is obviously putting your
hope in someone.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:46
			Right? So I heard somebody saying
to me like a voice saying, A
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:51
			Salama to fit Dini be taketomi
Phil makuu keen. If you want
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			safety in your faith, then you
need to abandon hopes in all of
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			creation. Don't expect that from
him.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:01
			Just expect to pay the money.
There's a nether shake, he went to
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:07
			buy some fruits from one of those
people that sell fruits on a one
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10
			of those carts. In those days.
Nowadays, we've got those all
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:13
			around London with those people
selling with the bowl, the bowls,
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:16
			the different bowls want on the
bowl. Now, sometimes you have to
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			be careful what's in that bowl,
because sometimes they add the bad
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:21
			ones and the good ones together
because they have to get rid of
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			it. They've got some old stock and
new stock.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			So the shake went there, and he
actually picked out all the bad
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:27
			ones.
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:33
			And he paid that so his students
was in Why do you do that? So
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			well, you know, he has somebody
has to sell it Subhanallah you
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:43
			know what, sometimes you go to
certain fruit sellers. And they
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:46
			try to give you they try to
deceive you by putting they said
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:50
			it's all good. You ask him how is
it? They're all good. Some of the
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:52
			feral ones, they'll say, look, I
haven't tasted it myself. So at
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:55
			least they don't take liability.
So how are those plums? How are
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:58
			those mangoes? I haven't tasted it
myself, or they're not. It's all
		
00:36:58 --> 00:36:58
			good.
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			And then there's also some
martial, they say, Look, don't
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			take this take that one.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:05
			Subhanallah
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:12
			I went to one the other day, and I
bought a pack of peaches. And he
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:15
			said that he said, take another
pack because this one's got a bad
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19
			one in there. And I felt really
sorry for him. I said, Well, you
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			have to what are you going to do
with this stuff? If you're not
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			selling it to me? What are you
going to do with it goes home
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:26
			canning it, we're going to eat it?
I said it's okay. It's just one
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:29
			peach, half a peach, that it's
okay. I mean, because it's a new
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:32
			kind of lace. These guys don't
make much money. I don't I
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:34
			personally don't think they make
much money selling these one pound
		
00:37:34 --> 00:37:38
			bowls. It said that's a different
topic that's more about
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:43
			trying to benefit somebody having
bit of self selfishness. You know,
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:46
			that's very difficult when you're
very selfish. When we're always
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			looking out for ourselves. It's
very difficult to want to take
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:52
			that but we can even start doing
it in small things. Hopefully we
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:57
			can do it properly in other
things. But anyway, so he says no,
		
00:37:57 --> 00:38:00
			he heard a sound saying don't
expect from anyone.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			Because a person with greed is
never going to be satisfied. A
		
00:38:05 --> 00:38:09
			person with greed is never going
to be satisfied. Because in
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:13
			Arabic, the word Tama are all made
of is made up of hollow letters,
		
00:38:13 --> 00:38:18
			the tall is hollow meme is hollow,
and the iron is hollow. It's
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:21
			hollowness. Right? Nothing's gonna
fulfill that.
		
00:38:23 --> 00:38:27
			That's why don't ever lower
yourself and demean yourself. For
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:31
			need from someone. Like if
somebody is playing hard to get,
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			put your trust in Allah and say,
if you want me to have it, Allah
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:38
			give it to me easily. Otherwise,
don't let me become a slave for
		
00:38:38 --> 00:38:41
			this. Once you do that, you'll
just your life will become better.
		
00:38:42 --> 00:38:44
			You know, your life becomes much
better when you just leave it to
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:48
			Allah subhanho wa Taala when you
don't get too upset about things
		
00:38:48 --> 00:38:53
			and when you don't put all of your
eggs in one basket of the Lukin of
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:56
			the creation, you still going to
have to make an effort but your
		
00:38:56 --> 00:39:00
			trust is always with Allah
subhanaw taala because like one of
		
00:39:00 --> 00:39:03
			them Sheikh said one of the great
scholars they said that you know,
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:09
			whatever Allah has decreed that
your your your gums will chew that
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:14
			your mouth will chew, then you're
gonna get that anyway. Again, a
		
00:39:14 --> 00:39:16
			lot of people get confused they it
doesn't mean that you sit back and
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			do nothing you make an effort but
you have to remember that you
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:22
			don't put your psychology your
heart in a way that if I don't get
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:25
			this I'm going to be upset. That's
what this is, is differentiating
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:29
			that many people who are very
subtle, sorry, who are very
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:32
			surface oriented. There's like how
can you say that we have to make
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:36
			an effort we can't just sit back
yes make an effort. But don't
		
00:39:36 --> 00:39:39
			expect that you're going to get it
unless Allah will say you still
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:42
			have to make the efforts but your
trust is in Allah and don't get
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:45
			upset if you don't get it because
whatever you get is from Allah and
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			whatever misses that because of
Allah subhanaw taala as well. So
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:52
			for example, you know, this whole
greed issue if somebody asked
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:57
			greed Who's your father there are
Bob gonna write it sounds better
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			like the lead and Who is your
father sounds a bit too polite
		
00:39:59 --> 00:39:59
			actually.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			it like in order to the idiom is
terrible corner you know like that
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:04
			kind of thing.
		
00:40:06 --> 00:40:10
			So he would say it would it would
respond honestly that a shackle
		
00:40:10 --> 00:40:11
			Phil McDougal
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:15
			that's what my problem is that
it's about creating doubt in
		
00:40:15 --> 00:40:17
			whatever has been decreed
		
00:40:18 --> 00:40:21
			that's essentially the crux of
this matter if you if you if you
		
00:40:21 --> 00:40:25
			put hopes like that, and if you
say Okay What's your occupation
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:30
			like What the What does greed do
what its active role? active role
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:34
			is it desirable to go and just
eventually
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:41
			provide disgrace greed eventually
begets disgrace
		
00:40:43 --> 00:40:46
			Allahu Akbar and eventually a
person and what is your final
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:52
			objective deprivation deprive the
human being when the shaytaan come
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:56
			when the shaitan over, uses that
tomorrow when we develop it and we
		
00:40:56 --> 00:40:59
			let shaytaan take over? It's just
going to be Herrmann. That's why
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:01
			Finally, a poet says
		
00:41:03 --> 00:41:08
			hit the rock. Ill Allah He la
Todra Isla NUS what cannot be is
		
00:41:08 --> 00:41:12
			in for in the laser, Phil yet see
was stuck in the uncleanly the
		
00:41:12 --> 00:41:16
			Corbin was the Rahim in in
millenia, money Stogner and
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:20
			Ignacy. Same thing, it's just the
conclusion of the whole thing says
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:24
			if you're going to hope and in
treats, and plea from anyone,
		
00:41:25 --> 00:41:31
			don't do that, from anybody, don't
do that from anyone else. Satisfy
		
00:41:31 --> 00:41:35
			and make yourself content with
honor.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:40
			Because the only way and the only
way to gain honor is in becoming
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:44
			despondent from everyone else that
they can get you anything that
		
00:41:44 --> 00:41:47
			they can give you If Allah doesn't
want and
		
00:41:48 --> 00:41:53
			enrich yourself and make yourself
independent of having this idea
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:58
			that your close ones or your kin
your family can give you anything.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:05
			Because the true enriched one, the
Truly Rich one is the one who
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:09
			seeks independence from all all
people except Allah subhanho wa
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:13
			Taala May Allah subhanaw taala
make us of such people may Allah
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:19
			subhanaw taala grant us that kind
of esterna and richness and allow
		
00:42:19 --> 00:42:22
			us to think of Allah all the time.
This is the way that Sheikh
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:26
			Abdullah gonna go. He finally
summarizes this in his commentary,
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:30
			he says, the branches of the tree
of disgrace grow and spread from
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:35
			the seed of ambitious desire that
has taken root in the huts. As
		
00:42:35 --> 00:42:37
			soon as you got that ambitious
desire and greed for something in
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:41
			your heart, then the disgrace is
could be born from there. And the
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:44
			higher that desire, the more that
disgrace you could get to.
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:49
			Disgrace is always the consequence
of greed and desire. If you had no
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:53
			disgrace, no greed or desire for
it, you'd care less what happens
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:56
			to you. When a man's heart desires
wealth and fame than for its
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:59
			acquisition, he will certainly
establish a relationship with
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:03
			people and direct his appeals to
them. This acquisition of wealth
		
00:43:03 --> 00:43:07
			or fame is not possible without
collusion with others, his desire
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:10
			constrains him to then flatter
them and beg them he's putting a
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:14
			slightly different idea on this
this thing, obviously, if you want
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:17
			is expanding it more, he says that
if you're going to want people
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:17
			which
		
00:43:19 --> 00:43:22
			you for what you need, you're
going to have to do things for
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:24
			them, you're gonna have to flatter
them, you're gonna have to get
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:27
			them on your side, you're gonna
have to convince them somehow make
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:28
			them happy, make them satisfied.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:34
			go hand in hand with them, support
them, vote for them. Subhanallah
		
00:43:36 --> 00:43:40
			you're gonna have to justify their
moves. Even if they're siding with
		
00:43:40 --> 00:43:44
			the enemies. You know, when you
talk about politics or llama and
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:48
			leaders, their leaders I mean,
it's it's Allahu Akbar, Allah
		
00:43:48 --> 00:43:51
			protect us is the big fitna times
right.
		
00:43:52 --> 00:43:58
			Imams of big masjids colluding or
justifying what the leaders are
		
00:43:58 --> 00:44:02
			doing. You know, even though the
entire human can see that it's
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:03
			harmful.
		
00:44:04 --> 00:44:07
			Allah make it easy, Allah make it
easy. So he says that this is not
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:11
			without having to flatter someone
and beg others. This is a great
		
00:44:11 --> 00:44:16
			disgrace. This is essentially
disgrace. Tama is this part of the
		
00:44:16 --> 00:44:19
			root of all evil, true respect
lies in a man's heart being devoid
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:22
			of any relationship with anyone
besides Allah, He remains
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:26
			independent from all this treasure
of true respect is acquired by the
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:29
			elimination of greed and the
cultivation of contentment with
		
00:44:29 --> 00:44:32
			whatever Allah subhanaw taala
gives us We ask Allah for tofi
		
00:44:33 --> 00:44:37
			Allah hung on to salon to salon to
borrow theother jewelry Quran la
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:42
			mia here the younger medical
history alone, we haven't learned
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:44
			so in condemning orally mean
		
00:44:45 --> 00:44:51
			along along they hate me after
human studies SallAllahu ala
		
00:44:51 --> 00:44:52

00:44:54 --> 00:44:58

00:45:04 --> 00:45:08

00:45:08 --> 00:45:13
			sins and vices of Allah forgive us

00:45:13 --> 00:45:19

allowed us to raise these hands to
		
00:45:48 --> 00:45:53
			you. Then Allah grant us what we
are seeking from you, our love for

			no other source there is no one
else that can grant us and bestow
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:05
