hamdulillah in the Hornstein who want to stop Pharaoh who are not
going to be here on Friday when our Altavilla insha Allah and
fussy now I can see it earlier to me you had the Hello Philomel the
learner woman you're the one who fed her her the other one I should
alert you to it Allahu Allah who would actually want to show the
witness to you dinner or Maulana Muhammad Abdul Hora surah Allah
Who Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wider early so you didn't
know Mohammed? Burdick was salam caught a lot with the baraka with
Tada in Jana, Merle of the Xena de lucha Nina beluga, whom are you
whom X and Y mela
in Nigerian Myrdal, all these INETA La Nina Mila, whom are you
whom X and Y Milla
last week, we looked at the wisdom which said marcada cache on
mythical Whammy, ma the cache on mythical Whammy, which means
nothing leads you like suspicion. And we describe that now today.
It's the precursor for this the basis for this
the whole discussion last time was that the conclusion of last week's
talk the suspicion we're speaking about here is essentially the
thought at any level.
At any level, whether that be just a notion, whether it be doubt or
whether it be a full opinion, preponderance opinion that my
benefit can come from other than Allah subhanaw taala that is what
is basically being been driving us all this time away from ALLAH
SubhanA wa, tada, the fact that somebody else can do something for
us, whereas that cannot be the Yaqeen and the reality because the
reality is that Allah subhanaw taala is behind everything. Right?
That's the reality. So today, it's talking about the basis of this
way he says, if not Allah Rahim, Allah says, My buzzer caught our
sun or xuelin il bees Retama in
my bizarre got axon or Hulin, Illa, Allah abyss, Retama in,
we're in not worried not for the seeds of ambitious desire, the
branches of disgrace would not be lofty.
Let's look at that, again. Were it not for the seeds of ambitious
desire,
if we didn't have ambitious desire, and we didn't plant the
seeds of ambitious desire, and then they grow into something, we
wonder how big our tree is, the branches of disgrace would not be
lofty. Of course, he's bringing in the whole, the metaphor of the
tree and the seeds and so on. But what he means is something much
more to the core. Now, I want to also clarify something else before
we carry on that
whenever we're doing this measure, listen, when we're speaking at
this level of these really complex, complex, profound
matters, then you have to remember that they're not isolated. So
whatever you hear today, they must be seen in the worldview of
everything else that you've heard.
What I mean by that is,
in any subject, and especially such an emotional one as
spirituality, sometimes what happens many times what happens
is, when they speak about one particular point, like for
example, they start speaking about greed, or they speak about love
Allah subhanaw taala, they speak about it so exclusively, that it
almost seems like everything else is nothing, or that's all we must
focus on. And sometimes the, for the Initiate for the beginner.
And, you know, we're all beginners, but I'm, I'm just
trying to preempt any problem here. That we must understand that
in view of everything else, for example, if he's going to speak
about health, how much we should feel ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, he's
going to speak about sometimes in an extreme sense, just to really
drive the point home as to what hope and fear of Allah subhanaw
taala is, but that and when we're listening to it, in that vacuum,
or in that machine, so in that particular program, it seems like
there is no hope.
To understand, it seems like there is no hope then. It's all about
fear. But this is just so that at least the seeds of fear can be
planted. So we know what it means to fear. If you're going to speak
about hope, then it's going to be so much about hope that there's no
such thing as fear. Because the discussion sometimes are exclusive
with the understanding that somebody is going to read through
the entire book, or through all the aphorisms, and then they will
get a nice comprehensive understanding. So I mean, you guys
have been coming for a long time anyway. So I just thought I'll
clarify that, that anybody who's listening, then they should not
take any of these points to be exclusive and just run with those
points to the exclusion of everything else. Oh, this is what
we he said. No, it's has to be fit in because Islam is very
comprehensive. And this is just one of the rich points that needs
to be understood. And the only reason we're singling it out is
so that we can understand it properly.
What he's saying here today is my bizarre cut of the sun or xuelin
Illa Allah abyss Retama in where it not for the seeds of ambitious
desire, the branches of disgrace would not be lofty. So, Allah
Subhana Allah says, Allah bless your heart in law
has long bicycle means long toilets.
So, tomorrow what is tomorrow? What is
ambitious desire? That's Tama ambitious desire.
It's the local call be Murphy Adel Hulk, for the heart to be
associated with whatever people have. Whatever people can do for
you, whether it be something, a commodity in their hand, or
whether it be a service that they can provide, or whether it be some
kind of benefit that they you think that they can give you.
That's what you call Tama. Tama essentially means for the heart to
become associated with that which is in the hands of people what the
show wolf will call be Ilaria Rob, and for your heart to peek towards
other than Allah subhanaw taala
to look out towards the other than Allah subhanaw taala though kind
of concept of this is that if you're in a building stuck, and
you're looking through the window, and there's only some areas that
you can look, the show with means that you're kind of looking out to
see who can help you. So you're looking at we're looking at
creation all the time, away from Allah subhanaw taala. Well, who
are associated with the Zuly now this all might sound quite
practical, because this is what we do all the time. But he is saying
he's making a claim. Now he's saying, well, US Lucia gelato is
only this is the seeds of the tree of disgrace. You're doing this is
the, the seeds for the tree of disgrace. You're basically sowing
the seeds of disgrace by doing this. And now we think about
ourselves. We've been doing this all our life. This is what
everybody does.
So essentially, this is where disgrace comes from.
How from our best socket of San Lucia Dorothea Dooley Illa Allah
very arty Tommy, because there's no way that you can plant the
seeds of disgrace, except through this kind of desire, ambitious
desire. And that is why
I Bassel mercy used to say when law he ma Italia is the 11th year
of ill Hemmati annual followed by Allah I've never seen, honor,
except by removing all desire
from people.
Desire
from people, the reason why.
So what is the reason for this claim? Why is it that we're sowing
the seeds of disgrace, by constantly
just associating our wants and needs from people? It's because in
doing that, we've abandoned Allah subhanaw taala
Leanna Sahiba Tommy Taraka, Robin azizan.
Because let me let me translate this literally, because that has
more nuance, because the person with this kind of
ambitious desire has abundant
the Lord that is Mighty, the powerful Lord.
And what I love Kobe Abdeen hockey run, and he's put all of his
desire in a feeble human being.
So then he's become feeble like him.
He's become feeble like you.
I mean, in the associations, we know of the dunya, there are
certain weak ones, there are certain strong ones, people who
are more powerful to have stronger associations, they get away with
more. So it's that kind of a thing here, except that we've abandoned
we in terms of the dunya in terms of Allah subhanaw taala. All of
this is weak.
Though Taraka Robin karimun with Allah kabhi Abdeen for Kieran
is abandoned the noble, generous benevolent Lord, and he's
associated himself with a servant that is in need
for Takata Tamiflu. So he's come into need as well because of him
like him. dakara Hemmati he'll run eel Kareem and he's stopped. He's
abandoned his aspirations towards the enriched Lord. What has caught
him Mehta who Illa Daniella M. And he's lowered his him and his
aspiration towards a lowly creature. In Allah He also collab
the other Kadri Hemmati and Allah subhanho wa Taala you must realize
only gifts to somebody according to the law.
Hello there Hema and aspiration.
To Allah.
The hadith mentions very clearly I am with my servant as he thinks of
me. So as much him as we have in Allah subhanho wa Taala that he
can do this for me. This is how he will deal with us.
The other thing is, he's supposed to be Abdullah he's supposed to be
a servant of Allah.
Hora masiva free of anybody else. For Surah Abdon nil Mahalo. But
he's become a servant for them. Look what I've done enough. See,
he will haha, and he's become a servant to himself and his
desires. He's become a servant to his
own desires. Leon nakoma The che and automatic de la quinta
Abdullah, who? Because whenever you begin to love something, and
you have a desire for it, you will become its servant, you will
become a slave. Well, I use them in shaping what offered to him
Metallica and who and when you abandon hope in anything
when you abandon hope in anything
and you raise your him away from it. You take your humor and your
aspirations away from it, you will become free of it. That's why poet
says aloud to her Roma ASA Tamera will hold Roma Hama, Tara who Abdu
same kind of meaning that a slave becomes a free person when he
disobeys his desire,
the worldly desires we're speaking about, whereas the free person, as
long as he continues to obey His desire will remain a slave.
That's why one of the Meshech said couldn't a unilab do Ebrahimian
or servant BIA Ibrahimi be like Ibrahim Ali salam for Karla Buka
Ibrahim, your father, Ibrahim Ali Salam has said LA or hibel F in
the Quran, when he goes through these phases of looking at the
stars, the moon, and he then gives up in them. He's looking for he's
looking for guidance, he's looking for meaning of this meaning in
this world. He was a thinker from before he used to reflect. So he
looked at the sun, it looks at the stars.
And when they went down when they disappeared, he said no that can't
be source for anything
that can't be sustained. Then the moon shines brighter.
But then that also went down. So he says law or hibel if even if it
means those which sets those which disappear, those that will give
up.
So be like Ibraheem Alehissalaam
everything other than Allah subhanho wa Taala is filled, will
disappear.
That's why Allah subhana wa Tada says militar a be calm Ibrahim,
you need to follow the middle of your, your father, father,
Ibrahim. So the stories that are related in the Quran about the
prophets, they're not just there for examples, they're there for
points of view about humanity, about reflection, about reality of
the dunya, Allah subhanaw taala has been very selective in what
he's included in the Quran out of imagine the literally billions
infinite number of experiences, incidents that have taken place in
the past with prophets that we know about and that we don't know
about 124,000 prophets, he chose these very few select ones.
Right? They only well known because they in the Quran. Ibrahim
Isom is only known to us because he's in the Quran. I mean,
otherwise, how would we know him if he wasn't in the Quran and the
Hadith and the Sunnah. So there's a reason why he's chosen them.
Maybe somebody can actually do a study of the stories of the
prophets and the exact kind of meaning that it provides the
significance of those meanings.
Like a PhD thesis, like a real in depth.
That's why it's valuable in the believer that they follow the
middle of Ibrahim alayhis. Salam, and in the middle of Ibrahim
alayhis. Salam it is to take your aspirations away from creation.
Because the example now, for us, this might seem very difficult.
Where do we start? What's the ending of this? We know the
ending, but where do we start? How do we exactly do this? Ibrahim
Hassan gives us certain examples, but they're examples of a very
high caliber. And that's why his house will house he is the elite
of the elite.
And
I mean, this I don't want to encourage this idea that when you
can't get something as much as Ibrahim Al Islam has, for example,
then we think well, at least we'll get somewhere
Although that is what we are going to do.
I don't want to say that because I don't want to prevent somebody
from being colossal house, just because I don't think I can get to
that level. Do you understand the dilemma that I'm having? Because
when we read these things, one is you read it theoretically. And you
guys will go and it's done. But the idea is not that the idea is
that we all somehow translate this into our own lives, apply it to
ourselves. So how do we do this? So when I give you the, when we
give you the examples of Ibrahim Ali salaam, they're farther
farther far above us. I don't know when we'll ever get there. That's
what I think for myself. Of course, there's nothing beyond
Allah subhanaw taala. This is just, you can say Kusumoto
humility. This is basically the shortcoming in my human
aspiration. Right. And our human aspirations are generally made by
what we look around read in front of us and around us, right? So
Allahu Allah, it's not beyond Allah subhanho wa taala, though to
get us not to Ibrahim Morrison, that's a prophets level, but to
the level of the Siddiqui in and the Shahidi, which is open to
everybody, right.
But at the same time to start off, then, let's not think when we
should definitely not think this is too high, we can't do it.
We can do a bit of this, we can start translating this into our
life somehow. When I give you an example, yesterday, I went from
home to forest gate for programming up to nine. My battery
indicator came on as I was going out, so I called home and I told
them, can you just check what that is? Because I didn't want to be
driving the car and messing it up. If there's a malfunction, you
know. So apparently, it was either the battery or the alternator
that's going right? Drove it Alhamdulillah got the parked up,
finished, the ban got back in. And now it's about half an hour left.
I was about five to eight is about nine o'clock. So I've got about 20
minutes to get back home. And the battery light is still there, but
handy later. Now on the way suddenly it says frontlight
malfunction, right?
Now, okay, that's not too bad. Lights are not big problem. Right.
And I wasn't it wasn't bright anyway, it was bright anyway,
right then. Then it said, then another flash, and it said,
transmission system malfunction. I said, Okay, now that's getting
serious. Now my immediate thought, I mean, I'm just going through
this just as an experience, my immediate thought was, who can I
call?
Right? Who can I call to figure out what this is all about? Right?
This is what we generally do, who can I call who can help me? Then I
thought to myself, I can call anybody right now. But
at the end of the day, I'll have to use my phone. Or if I put the
because I turned everything off in the car, except the car, you know,
all the navigation system and the lights and everything. Because if
it's a battery issue you don't want to be.
So I said I'd have to put this Bluetooth on, right? And all that.
So that helped me make that decision as well. I'm just being
very honest. I thought look, at the end of the day, if this car
breaks down now, like if it stops right now, nobody's gonna be able
to help me and I'm going to come out right now for me, it's going
to take half an hour anyway. My only hope is Allah subhanaw taala.
So I stopped reading the Supatra that I was reading for my daughter
for my Travi. And I started reading Yacine. Because what can
help you first, first, I did some relief, because judiciary was
supposed to be very powerful, right? The reason is, you read it
for whatever purpose, it's supposed to help you read some of
the rules, then I started reading yesterday, because he has seen as
again, one of those powerful suits of the Quran, I just really have
seen, and I'm going and then suddenly I feel a shudder in the
steering wheel. Right? That's giving up the power steering. And
it's the first time experiencing all of this, right? And my brother
did tell me when a problem happens with you know, these cars with
lots of these gadgets and things like that, then it's a problem.
You know, it's fine when it works. But otherwise, it's a problem.
And, and there was more traffic to yesterday for some odd reason, you
know, and I come back, get off the when I come back towards home
button, and then there's a massive line, I come on you guys move
Hurry up, I need to get this home, you know, and the steering is now
becoming stiff. Right. And I'm just reading and reading and
Alhamdulillah I managed to just get it in at home. I just about
managed to pocket because puck in a small space, you can hardly turn
the wheel is stiff, like really, really stiff, parked it, put it
off. And then I thought let me just push it back. Let me just
started again, push it back a bit so that I can open the bonnet and
just take a quick look. I couldn't start it the battery's gone.
So now if that car had stopped, it wouldn't have started again,
because the battery was literally just going it was just literally
just surviving. But for me now, I'm thinking to myself, that was
my Yassine.
I did then try to call afterwards after afterwards afterwards. I
tried to call somebody, but it was it was too late then, you know, I
mean, you know, he didn't pick it up anyway. But just to try to
figure out what this is all about. Because I thought should I carry
on driving it should I leave it or whatever it was he thought I said
Bismillah let's just go. But the idea is that our point of
reference always goes to somebody
Yes, because people are so in front of us. We generally see
benefit coming from people, we become associate with them
straightaway. And there's nothing wrong with asking people it's not
that we shouldn't ask people, but it's what is your heart sing
where's your heart gone? Is your heart with Allah subhanho wa Taala
when you need something all the time, it should be the whole point
of all of Colombia or Morocco is to get us associated to Allah
subhanho wa Taala to such a degree, that when we're driving
when we're doing anything, we're thinking about him. And especially
when something goes wrong, we first turned to Allah subhanaw
taala.
Just how fast can you do that?
Eventually, after five days, somebody is going to turn to
Allah. When he's tried everybody, he's going to turn to Allah after
five days. But why can we not do it from before? And then also ask
people if you need to?
You can ask people, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm going
to have to ask somebody I can't. It'll be in now it's wrong for me
to just sit and say, Oh, Allah, you sorted out for me standing at
the back, you sorted out for me? No, now I have to make calls and
try to figure out how I'm going to get this done.
Right. But what's the feeling in the heart now my the feeling in
the heart needs to be that Allah is going to make this then Allah
is going to make this happen. But I'm gonna have to make effort.
Because if Allah didn't want it to happen, I could call 100 people
and they'll all say sorry, I can't do it this weekend.
Generally the trend of the world that eventually somebody will do
it for you, that's a suburb of the world. And Allah does work with
predictability in this world generally. But if Allah wanted,
then that car can be sitting there for the next month.
Because I may get busy, I may not be able to do it, or it may not be
the problem that we think it is. And it could just be different,
different. There's sometimes some people will take a car for a
month, they're going back to the mechanic every day and they're
changing different things. So at the end of the day, it can happen
like that. Your trust must be in Allah, Oh, Allah, you help me you
help me you help me and He will provide the help through
something.
So that's an manifestation of this, just a manifestation of
this, of connecting to Allah subhana wa Taala above people and
not having full reliance in people because they can't help you,
except how Allah subhanaw taala wants him to help you.
So it is necessary for us as believers to follow the way of
Ibrahim alayhis salam and his Ibrahim Ali sternums millet is to
remove him from the Hulk. Because for example, when he was placed
into the catapult to be thrown into the fire Gibreel Ali Salam
came to him and he said Allah Cahaya Do you have a need? This is
like a personal attendant coming to you as an angel. We're not
going to get a personal tune like that. But this is a personal
attended like an angel coming Subhanallah What do you need? A
look at Hydra for Karla ileka Fela. To you. I have no need. I
have a need. But for you. I have no need.
What Amma Illa Allah for Bella, as far as to Allah subhanaw taala I
definitely have a need. So then Jimmy Lai Sam said, Okay, fine.
Then ask him.
Ask him. And he said has to be mean so early, it will move who
will be Harley?
It has sufficed me from asking him that I know that he knows my
state.
Now that is high level of woof Calbee.
That is a high level of presence of the heart.
Because I know that he knows that I'm in this state. And he knows
and you see this takes us a notch higher. This is a notch higher.
When is oh Allah helped me. Another high level is he knows
even if I asked him, he's gonna still do what he wants to do
anyway. Because even if I make dua, it's up to Allah to accept
right? He's gonna give me whatever it is. So I'm not gonna ask him.
I'm not gonna ask him is there's a difference between I'm not gonna
ask him not asking him of the alarm and not asking him of the
house. The alarms not asking him it's because they don't even think
about. They have no time to ask because they're thinking about
others. The reason why a prophet doesn't ask is because he knows he
knows anyway.
Once * Abdullah became sick, and he said, Allah wants me to be
sick. I'm not even going to ask him for shifa. I just want to see
how long he wants me to be sick for us.
You can pull it, you know, we say like, that's kind of like playing,
but it's not. It's this playing of love. That's what it is.
It's when you know, at the end of the day, you can do nothing. And
he does everything. So okay, I leave it to you now.
See how Ibrahim alayhis salam put his absolute aspiration away from
the people and faced it completely directed to Allah subhanaw taala
In fact, he didn't even help take the help of enlist the help of
Gibreel allihies Salaam.
He didn't even ask Allah
He didn't even ask Allah. But he knew that Allah subhanaw taala is
closer than any Jibreel Allah His Salaam and from his questioning,
that is why Allah subhanaw taala then gave him safety from the
root.
And then Allah subhanaw taala gave him huge rewards, huge rewards.
That after Ibrahim Ali Salam, every Prophet came from him from
his progeny, no prophet of the Ibrahim, and it's almost like
after Ibrahim Ali Salam, he becomes the center, the pivot and
after that all prophets come from him, they all his children, and
all the four major books that we know about, they're also from
among the prophets of his children as well.
He is He is just amazing. I mean, that's his status imagine the
states of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was even higher than him
and it is part of the millet of Ibrahim Ali salaam,
to
be an enemy of anything that will take you away from Allah subhanho
wa taala.
Again, when I say be an enemy of don't take this literally, and you
start
expressing enmity towards this is taken in this context.
Right? An enemy, you can't expect any benefit from your enemy.
That's what he's trying to say. You can't expect any benefit from
your enemy.
You can only expect harm.
And that's why
he said for in the home I do will li Illa Rabbil Alameen because
they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the Worlds.
So, if you want this kind of enrichment, the only way you can
do it is to lose hope from anybody but in Allah subhanho wa Taala
shakable has done a show that he said a yes to Him enough or enough
seal enough see.
When I became
when I gave up hope that I can myself help myself.
I can myself help myself. Then for K phala as MiniFee lady Lucha How
can I then
not feel hopeless that somebody else is going to be able to help
me then they also like enough's to myself. We've seen how much we can
help ourselves without Allah subhanaw taala how much can we
help ourselves? So if we can't help ourselves, how much can
somebody else help ourself?
Well, what is your Tula honey lady? For Kayla are Julie enough
See, I hope to Allah subhanaw taala for others, so why should I
hope to Allah subhanaw taala for myself, and he says this is the
Kimia This is the alchemy This is the secret of life. This is what
will turn things into gold for you.
This is what will give you a hint on life. Arcata fie is such an
enrichment after which there will be no hunger such there is after
which Lulu Lulu Minho Hola Hola, Mara who will be such an honor
after which there will be no disgrace that will come with it?
We're in Furqan learner further who and you will then be able to
spend and there will be no end to that spending. This is the Kimia
of the firm. This is the Kimia of the old Bob. This is the key Mia
and the alchemy of the people of Allah subhanaw taala that's why he
also shifts
and will happen
has an issue that he also said Sahib any concern on what kind of
tequila and and a year that there was a person who wanted to
accompany me. And it was a bit of a burden on me. But then after
that, it became a bit easier. And I said to him Yeah, well at the
Maharajah took what do you want? Why did you why did you accompany
me? Why are you staying in my company for quite a sad?
Instead, my master? Somebody told me that you know Kimia you know
alchemy? There was this crazy in those days. Everybody was looking
for this alchemy, this thing about turning dust into gold. Right? It
was like it was his belief in those middle ages that people
could do this. So somebody said that he could do this shakable
house in a Saturday. So finally pulled it out from like, Okay, why
he says Oh, you'd be I've been told that you can you have
alchemy. So I am accompanying you so I can study it from you. So he
said Yes, sir. Dr. Wasaga Coleman had the thick. You're absolutely
right. And those who told you are also absolutely right. Well, I can
a hard look meaning other look law talkable but my my fear is I
believe that you're not going to be able to accept what I say.
He's says balaclava No, I'm gonna definitely I mean he's come for
that reason why should they accept it? I will definitely accept it.
He said never too ill hotkey for budget to whom Allah kiss mean.
This is my Kimia This is my alchemy. I looked among people and
I saw them have two types. We look around us. We're gonna see people
of two types. One is that what? Either they're your enemy. They're
envious of you jealous of you or they're outright enemies of you.
Or they are your loved ones. They are people who are who are your
friends and associates.
for another two in Alaska, so I looked at the first group first.
And I recognize that they are unable to harm me.
Except with that, that Allah subhanaw taala once.
Yes, they can harm me, but only as much as Allah subhanaw taala ones.
So the harm is from Allah subhanaw taala in reality, so I said,
Forget about them, I cut my vision away from them, I turned my vision
away from them, then I looked at the HIPAA, my Associates, and then
I realized that they cannot benefit me except with how much
Allah wants them to benefit me. So then again, I said, Okay, forget
them as well, what the unlock to be law. And then I thought, I'll
just ask Allah subhanaw taala for all my needs. So then it was said
to me that you are unable to reach the reality of this matter.
Until you also cut all hopes from me as well from us as well.
Now, for us that much should have been enough, that's an
accomplishment, but he was being taken to a higher level. So he was
told by he was told that no, you can still not reach the reality of
this matter, until you also cut your desires from us as well, just
as you've cut it from others.
So that we will give you whatever has been allotted for you already.
Because we know best what to give you. Allah subhanaw taala is the
one who's created, He knows what's best that he's that he's gonna
give us.
Now, as I said, this is a very high level to reach.
And Allah subhanaw taala helped him to reach that status, it was
just a moment
for him to do that.
So take the creation out of our hearts, take out also
the
desire that Allah subhanaw taala will give us and let him give you
whatever he's already
predestined for us. And then you say something very interesting
that
when a person has a lot of understanding, a lot of knowledge,
sorry, when a person has a lot of knowledge, that doesn't prove that
he has a lot of understanding about Allah subhanaw taala there's
no indicator that he's understanding of Allah subhanaw
taala if somebody is also regular on their word, the daily regimen
of dhikr everyday they doing that also is no proof that they've
understood the reality. That's another level.
That's why he's saying we're in the Maya Dulo Allah annuity he was
me he is you know, who better to be the only thing that will
indicate that somebody is truly
illuminated an understanding and comprehending is that he is
totally enriched by Allah subhanaw taala only, and you know, the
Allahu Anhu came to Buffalo.
And it really Allahu Anhu during his cadaver, they came to Buffalo.
And he entered the big Masjid there.
He meant he saw so many people you know, in those days now we have
one by one in a masjid, if you have two bands in a masjid, you
can understand what will happen, right? But in those days is a big
Masjid. Every pillar was a place for doors. And it was like a
university, you go in there sit wherever you want. So in many of
them, they were these sauce. This wire is in people who just told
stories, kind of inspirational stories. And it really alone had,
like, a lot of them, they were just there for whatever reasons
they were there. Or, you know, the Allahu Anhu told them to all get
up and move from there and stop sitting there. And then he came to
Hasson bacillary, who was young at the time, younger at the time, and
he says, Look, I'm going to ask you a question as well. If you
give me an answer, a proper answer. I'm going to let you stay
here. Otherwise you also go. So then he asked him, he saw he'll
actually saw some pilot units on his face. He saw something about
him. That's why he didn't just make him stand up and he asked him
this question. So has an basally you don't have to lie. They sent
us whatever you want.
He said Mamilla codeine. What is the crux of the deen?
What is the main aspect of the deen? He said Al Whare
scrupulousness
Mufasa Dean. He said uttama this ambitious desire. So when somebody
who's sitting there like that says that then that means he's really
true, because genuinely people who will sit there to give talks and
things like this and just inspire people out there to get a position
or to get some gifts or something like that. So when he said this is
the case, he said Angeles you stay here for Miss Ruka mania tackle
Amanda NUS.
It should be people like you who speak to the people shake up with
Ambassador mercy. He says that in the beginning
In the beginning days, when I started the path, I was in
Iskandariyah, that's where he's eventually buried as well. But I
was in Alexandria, and I went to somebody who is a street, one of
those sellers, shops, shopkeeper or something and he knew me, he
knew me. And subhanAllah this is like so perfect as an example. He
said, I bought something for half a day from from him I needed there
was something I needed, so I bought it for half a dyrham. But I
was saying in my heart like Allahu Allah, who who mean me,
like maybe he's not going to take the money from me. Now sometimes
you go to somebody who's gonna give me a discount. You think?
Because he knows me. He'll give me a discount. He might give me
something for free. You might just say just take it. So I said that,
and then suddenly, a sound came to me a Sidama to fit Dini be
taketomi Phil McLovin. If you want Salama in your deen, then it is by
abandoning all kinds of ambitious desire from creation.
Have your design ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
And then he said basically Sahiba thumri, tamari, lush bear a
burden. A person who has this kind of ambitious desire from creation
will never be satisfied.
Have you realized that the word Tama itself is our own? Hello,
Paul has got hollowness meme has got hollowness and Iein has also
big hollows. Right? So how can you be that's just the point that's
just the general point that somebody will make right? So for
Alec, you have moody Bureau for him medical annual Hall quality
doula home Fisher and the risk when it comes to your risk and
everything like that, just have your desire, have your your
association with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
So that's what this one was all about, which formed the basis for
the next one, which was nothing leads you like suspicion.
It's this, it's this desire, this suspicion, it's a suspicion at the
end of the day, the word is a bit of a misnomer in this context. But
essentially, that's what it is. The creation cannot benefit you.
So let's read what you have to lug and go he says, the branches of
the tree of disgrace, grow and spread from the seed of ambitious
desire that has taken root in the hearts. Disgrace is always the
consequence of greed and desire. If you don't manage this greed,
then you will get disgrace when the man's heart when the man's
heart desires, wealth and fame, then for its equity acquisition,
he will certainly establish a relationship with people and
direct his appeals to them. This acquisition of wealth or fame is
not possible without collusion with others, his desire constrains
him to flatter and beg others. This is great disgrace. Dhamma is
thus part of the root of evil, true respect lies in a man's heart
being devoid of any relationship with anyone besides Allah, He
remains independent from all this treasure of true respect is
acquired by the elimination of greed and the cultivation of
contentment when he says it should be devoid of any relationship with
anybody besides Allah. And that obviously means in terms of
benefit and harm,
and risk, because you have to have a relationship with people.
So again, always understand this in the view of everything else.
May Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik
we say these things.
The whole reason we bring these things up is so we can all
benefits. If this discourse isn't there. We don't even know the
discourse exists. We don't understand this kind of refined
aspects of spirituality, then we're just going to be essentially
stumbling around in the dark. We're trying what is the goal of
our vicar? What is the goal of our association? It's to understand
these things, when we know theory about something we have Inshallah,
the possibility of, hopefully, driving in that direction. We
don't even know the theory of these high high levels. Somebody
might think these are very high level things. Yes, they are very
high level things.
But hopefully May Allah subhanaw taala give us some benefit of them
just by reading the words of these great Meshech Maybe Allah subhanaw
taala will give us some Baraka through that. Otherwise our
actions are very very poor.
