There is something that we do is that when there's an exam that's
about to come up, or there's a difficulty or a challenge in front
of us or a huge need that we want that we need something, or making
an effort and things aren't going right. So you call into Allah
subhanaw taala This is a religious people that we call Unto Allah
subhanaw taala so we suddenly start praying the head God, if
we're not praying tahajjud before we start making longer to us, we
start making more heartfelt to us, as opposed to just some, you know,
casual expressions or formulas that we read. So we really get
into it Tao Allah meclizine Allahu Diem, like we really our iman
goes, masha Allah. And then when it all gets resolved, we don't do
the same thing, if that could continue that same kind of fervor
because we're really in need of Him all the time. But I guess it
makes some sense in a in a way that when there is need returned
to Allah, that's a good thing as well. But it's something to think
about that when you lose that state. You think Subhanallah what
a blessing that calamity was another way out of it. What a
blessing it was, they actually made us for that moment, close to
Allah. It really upgraded us for that moment. Imagine during that
time how much closer we became to Allah imagine during that time,
how many dollars we make, how much a burden that was, how much
worship that was how many rewards you must have gained by that. How
many more status is stages we must have ascended the if we can carry
on doing that Subhan Allah just something to think about. Don't
forget Allah after the calamity goes.
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi
or Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Kofi on Elomi Deen, Amma
bad two sessions ago in our series on Ignatov Allah Allah Eskandari
Rahim Allah is HECM we covered a wisdom number 235 on page 207 in
which he says in nama a general other either add him Kala, the
corner Sirkin and lay him or other in us a joker and Felicia
hatherleigh Yasha holochain Who che
which means he only made affliction come at the hands of
people, so that you do not gain comfort in them or repurposing
them.
So when difficulties come from people, we see difficulties come
from people, somebody does something wrong, or somebody
causes us a hinderance or a problem or aggravates us. So, we
get put off human beings we turn to Allah subhanaw taala he wanted
to drive you out of everything so that nothing would divert you from
him.
Because only Allah subhanaw taala can look look after us and will
always be there for us.
Now, what's really interesting, something that I've been thinking
about, especially in the last week or so, but I think this is
probably an experience that some of us will be able to, I guess,
relate to Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, that
people who associate partners with Allah subhana wa Tada
inherently even they believe in Allah, there's inherent belief in
people's hearts. So it says that even those who commit ship and who
are policy so maybe even who deny Allah they may be in the middle of
the ocean
and
the waves start rolling right
what is the verse
had that either content filfil * be him bury him play
button? What's after that?
Well for the whole via the quite excited. But then Johari her
analysis was a human mode human Colima calm will then know and
know him or hate him. They will love her meclizine Allahu Deen.
But when they're in that situation, when the waves start
rolling, and they think they are encompass now they're surrounded,
there's no way to go. What are you going to do in the middle of an
ocean? What are you going to do in a flight? If there's some huge
turbulence? Where do you go, there's no way to step off these
things. You're just surrounded. You're in the quadrotor of Allah,
that's when you start realizing it. So then they start calling
Unto Allah subhanaw taala with a class with absolute sincerity.
It's an it's the heart which call us you know, you just can't help
it is inherent call to your Creator. The one who can save you
now. However, then Allah says that fella manager whom Allah Akbar
when Allah subhanaw taala brings them back to land where they feel
a sense of security on land, you feel a sense of security. In the
air, you feel insecure on the water, you feel insecure, but on
land, you just humans feel secure.
And then they start either home you Shikun they start to associate
partners again.
Now what I want to say is that
We don't do that, obviously, because we don't believe in any
gods besides Allah. We don't do any purposeful shit.
Some people may be guilty of a subtle form of shirk, where they
think something else is going to benefit them in a certain way
while without really making them a direct partner. But there is
something that we do is that when there's an exam that's about to
come up, or there's a difficulty or a challenge in front of us or a
huge need, that we want, that we need something, or making an
effort and things aren't going right, maybe it's a business deal.
Maybe it's the purchase of something, maybe it's marriage
related, maybe it's some other calamity that has come down, maybe
it's this huge bill that you received, and you don't know why
you're getting the bill and just causing you aggravation. It's
something that's not getting fixed in your car in your house. It's a
sickness, it's an illness, that some things are happening. So you
call in to Allah subhanaw taala This is a religious people that we
call Unto Allah subhanaw taala so we suddenly start praying the head
God, if we're not praying tahajjud before we start making longer to
us, we start making more heartfelt to us, as opposed to just some,
you know, casual expressions or formulas that we read. So we
really get into it, Tao Allah meclizine Allah who deem like we
really our iman goes, masha Allah. And then when it all gets
resolved,
we don't do the same thing.
I guess it's not as bad as the other one. I mean, but if that
could continue that same kind of fervor, because we're really in
need of Him all the time. But I guess it makes some sense in a in
a way that when there is need returned to Allah, that's a good
thing as well. So I don't want to equate ourselves with that. But
it's something to think about, that when you lose that state. You
think Subhanallah what a blessing that calamity was. Now that way
out of it, what a blessing it was, they actually made us for that
moment, close to Allah. It really upgraded us for that moment.
Imagine during that time, how much closer we became to Allah. Imagine
during that time, how many dollars we make how much a burden that
was, how much worship that was how many rewards you must have gained
by that. How many more status is stages we must have ascended.
So the if we can carry on doing that Subhan Allah, just something
to think about, don't forget Allah after the calamity goes. So either
Allama say that when people call in to Allah subhanaw taala when
those there is no calamity the angels get used to us are pleased
and supplications and petitions coming in, when there's a
calamity, then the supplication gets pushed forward quicker
because they recognize our voice, that's probably just maybe a
metaphor or something. But at the end of the day, let us not forget
Allah subhanho wa taala, even after we succeed, so what he going
back to this wisdom, what he is essentially saying here is that
the path to Allah subhanho wa Taala ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala
because this world is not the permanent abode and the end all of
everything, there will be difficulties and the difficulties
will sometimes come at the hands of people who are closest to us.
People who we generally would have found some kind of comfort with,
trusted in, relied upon, but Allah wants to cut us from them as well,
that look even they can't help you all the time. Only Allah can help
you all the time. So now we covered that discussion. There was
a bit of a discussion left there just to give an example of how
some of our greatest two are honored by Allah subhanaw taala,
who had karamat Kurama is essentially a miracle of Divine
Honor where Allah subhanaw taala had bestowed them with mashallah
many spectacular things, but they had to go through a lot of
difficulties and those difficulties so in the biggest
example of that is the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam look
at both is makin life and his Medina and life. Right to the end.
There were difficulties right to the end, there were difficulties.
We don't live to suffer though. That's not That's not the purpose
of our life. But when suffering comes we deal with it and
suffering can be for many reasons. So there's a really interesting
story that I want to Sharla share with you today about somebody that
most likely you would have heard about. And this is about Junaid Al
Baghdadi. So he is one of the greatest that Iraq and Baghdad has
known. He Junaid Al Baghdadi was one of the greatest of the Olia
that Baghdad has probably seen along with the people. Other great
people like Imam Muhammad no humble was the meroofer querque
was the number Imam Imam Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah was there as
well but Junaid Al Baghdadi has mashallah his own his own position
now. This story is with motiva kill Billa. Now mutawa kill biller
is considered to be one of the better ones. He was the one who
switched it away from this, you can say inclination towards the
martyrs delights before him modelsim and Moon Rashid Harun
Rashid son, whatever kill became was much better he
He was really good with him. Um, I didn't know humble as well. He was
a nice person. What happened is that some of the jurist some of
the
jurists who didn't understand spirituality as much they
complained to with our kill. That Junaid Al Baghdadi and his
companions is moody EADS, his, his students, they've all become xindy
heretics, like they say things or do things or whatever, which are
against Islam. So they wanted to give a fatwa on him. Right? They
didn't understand something. Sometimes Sufis do some strange
things that are not always understood, right? So they can get
fatwas upon them. Right now,
the relief motor working biller was actually
quite inclined to Junaid above that handle or respect for him.
But now that there's a charge against him, he's going to have to
deal with it. It's from the jurist of the of the time so he has to
take it seriously. And he has to do something about it. So firstly,
he said, Yeah, Allah, he first chided them, censored them,
enemies of Allah, what do you want to do? Why are you trying to
bring this calamity upon one of the earlier of Allah? Why are you
messing around with one of these Olia of Allah subhanaw taala
you've already killed her lodge before. So he was another Sufi had
been killed. He said something quite crazy sounding right. So he
was killed. And so he's saying that every day you're coming up
with some new accusations against the righteous people, and you want
them to go from here.
Junaid I know him very well, you've got nothing, you got
nothing against him unless you're able to dominate him
in a in a discussion, unless you can prove it against him and he is
silenced by you. Only then will I take your word seriously, I can't
just go on a whim here.
So get all of the juries together, whoever you want to get together
from the various different towns, wherever you want. Bring them all
together. And we're going to have a session if you dominate him, and
you're able to argue your case well, and people also see and
witness that you have dominated him, then
I'll kill him. Right, I'll put him to death. Otherwise, if he
dominates you, and if he defeats you, in evidences and so on, then
I will surely use my sword against all of you. And you will all be
finished hatherleigh Nope. Team income as an adult. I won't let a
single one of you stay on this earth. Right so I'll finish all of
you off. Now somebody's gonna have to die here. Right? So they're
going to be Junaid Al Baghdadi or it's gonna be them who's gonna
die?
The ruler got himself into this pickle essentially by saying this.
So they got the jurists together from the various places, some from
Syria, they invited some from Yemen, Iraq and so on Egypt. They
all gathered together
and the Khalifa call for Junaid Al Baghdadi
the he should come so he came with his what leads to the door of the
palace.
He enters and he tells the students to stay outside.
He goes and he shows all the due respect to the belief that needs
to be shown. You know, there's certain protocol in those days
that you'd have to show, right.
And then he sits down. One of the jury stands up to ask him about a
masala they jumped to ask him one question.
The judge for all of this, his name was Ali ignobly. So Ali
ignobly thought is the judge of this gathering.
So
he first to try to take control of the gathering. He says through his
Juris Are you guys going to be asking Junaid Al Baghdadi?
So he said yes, of course. So he asked them a question first, he
said that is there anybody among you that knows jurisprudence
better than him? Because you knew that he was also a jurist,
a fee Coleman who of course mean any of you better in
jurisprudence, a greater jurists than he is? So they all confess
No, he's actually a better jurist than us. Right? So then he says,
What a strange What an astonishing spectacle we have. He is more
juristic and more knowledgeable than you in jurisprudence in your
knowledge. And he also has a deeper understanding in a science
that you reject, and that you didn't know that you have actually
no idea about. So that already makes him superior to you. He
knows your subject and he knows another subject which you have no
idea about. So how can you ask him questions? How can you ask him
questions? You don't even know what he's going to tell you
because he knows about things that you don't know about. For the old.
They were right there.
Like, okay, make sense? So they stay quiet for a while.
And then they said, okay, then what should we do your call the
judge? What should we do because somebody is going to have to lose
their life today. So what's going to happen now? Right? So you tell
us, okay, whatever you want, and we'll do that.
Now the judge, he looks at the Khalifa Khalifa one who has to
make the final decision that the judge is going to make the
decision and help him make that decision. And he says, Look, let
Jeanette go. What we're going to do is send out your the one who
applies the penalties saw he was safe ik, right, the one who the
executioner,
let him go outside. His name was Walid IGNOU Robbia. He's going to
go outside and he's going to announce among the companions of
Junaid, Al Baghdadi, that who's willing to put their head on the
line. And, and basically because they knew the story, so like
somebody is going to have to die today, right? So, we these are the
spectacles of those times, I guess, which one of you is ready
to die basically, for your shape or form for this purpose for this
cause?
The first person who jumps up we're going to ask him questions,
because the first person Halifa says, may Allah have mercy on you,
why are you doing all of this? What's the strategy? What's going
on? Why you're doing this? For what? What's the point of asking?
One of them to volunteer?
Why you essentially the hadith is a really good guy says Torah will
comb. You're causing fear, you're frightening the people? Well, I'm
Tara lako Murgia yet you have no evidence to kill anybody to murder
anybody to put somebody to assault So how you doing? This is gonna
make them frightened. Leia Hey, Lulu. Nazarick is halal. Not halal
for us to do this
call this is the Amirul mumineen.
The Sufis, they love to give preference over themselves to
somebody else. Their inner there's so selfless people, like if
they're serious Sufis, they're willing to put somebody else ahead
of them.
So go ahead, let your executioner let him go and ask for a
volunteer. Because whoever stands up to be a volunteer,
he is going to be the most ignorant of them.
He's going to be the most ignorant of them.
Now, I don't mean that kind of ignorant that there was a know how
true this story is. But his story about India, sorry, Pakistan or
Afghanistan or somewhere there was a shake. And he said to one of his
high beams, about a politician or something who'd said something
that you should you know, it was called the aura denature. Like he
should just be killed. So this guy took it seriously. And he went and
killed him.
He just said it as like, Man, what a bad guy like he should just be
finished off. People make this expression. This guy took it
seriously. My Sheikh said this, let me go and finish him off.
Be careful, right? So he says there's going to be one of them.
Whoever stands up first, and volunteers, he's going to be the
most ignorant of them, meaning relatively speaking ignorance, you
understand among all of them.
But he will also be the one who has mashallah the highest level of
Siddiq to Allah, highest level of truthfulness to Allah that he's
willing to die for this course. Right.
She's got the highest emotion, highest spirituality, but in terms
of knowledge, and how to decipher everything, maybe that's where
he's lacking.
So what he will do is that the reason why he will give up himself
is that he will say that I'd rather let everybody else if ever
have to die, no problem, at least everybody else will live so that
we can solve this matter.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to take this guy, and
we're going to put him in front of the juries and let them ask him
questions.
Because they can't argue with Jeanine, he's already superior to
them. So now we need to get somewhere with the with the case.
So then this person that the most joy, he'll have them, ignorant of
them is going to be the one that they're going to have to
interrogate. And what's going to happen, he says, I already
expected is that they won't dominate him and he won't dominate
them. So it'll become a stalemate. And that means nobody will have to
die for your soul. That means we're going to have an we're going
to be able to come to a truth that nobody wins. So nobody has today.
That was a kind of intelligent way of trying to dissolve the
situation. Because he says for in cogniser Let mercy button Arima
because this is a huge masiva that we've got ourselves into. Right
learner De Lima Jaco Naja minha. We don't know who's going to
survive in this because somebody's going to because you've given a
word. So something's going to have to happen for
In the WHO inputs ELL Junaid if Junaid is killed today, NASA here
to fill Islam that's a major calamity in Islam that a Willie of
Allah is killed like this he brings huge amount of bad fortune
misfortune and so on punishment of Allah for you know goodwill Eman,
Dr. Serena. And if the other man fuqaha killed you can't kill them
either. Because if they're killed that's a mercy but of EMA that's a
huge calamity in itself.
So I mean it's I've said Tikkun Khalifa said okay, fine, Lila hit
the rock locket. ASABE You're right. That's, that's the way to
get ourselves out of this pickle. So he told that, while he ignore
via his swordsman, his henchmen, his execution, he says, Go and do
what the court is telling you to. So when he goes out, and he's got
his sword, and he asks, in front of the marina, how many Marines
were there? There were 270 people. There were 273 students that come
like he was going to be killed us, we're going to be with him. Right
270 of them. They will sitting down, looking down maybe in some
kind of meditation, Baraka dua or whatever it is all sitting down
calmly down there.
They will remembering Allah subhanaw taala. So he makes this
announcement, who of you is willing to stand and put his line
put his head to the sword? Immediately, a guy gets up. His
name is I will have an annuity.
I will have an annuity he gets up from among the companions. And
what he said
later says that I never saw even a bird that flies off so fast. Like
he just jumped up, I'm ready for this. For whatever, even been a
date. I was like, how fast did he stand up? Like he's just ready for
this Subhanallah ever ready people.
And what's interesting is that there were many, many Sufis
throughout the world, the whole Muslim world was Sufi about 100
years ago. But what happened is that after the Ottomans, departed
Ottomans were Sufi themselves, part of orders and supportive and
so on. But after they were essentially dismantled, then in
the later times, the Sufis were actually a threat. Even today
they're seen as a threat in many places, just like our who mouth is
being seen as a threat today in certain countries, right. That's
why they've been spoken again because anything organized is a
threat. That's the problem anything organized with an amine
is a threat because what happens to the old peaceful but what
happens tomorrow as a Yola, you know, what's gonna happen? Nobody,
the they don't like organizations. That's why they try to always
dismantle them by hook or crook. All right. This is the tradition.
I mean, I've spoken to people and this is exactly what happens. You
see the history, it's exactly like that the gap, Imam Abu Hanifa was
persecuted for that very reason, a number of other people because
they see a threat. Right? The same thing happened, Sheikh Ahmed said
Hindi, right, a number of others, they just become a threat, any
organized group becomes a threat. Right? Especially people like this
are willing to get up for the sword so Han Allah right.
So this, what he says to him, man, oh, man, like, you know, Yeah, ha.
Do you know why you're standing up for like, do you understand what
you're getting yourself into? Like, seriously, that you standing
up so fast? He said, Yes. Didn't you say? He's saying, didn't you
say that? Who's ready to go for the sword? Like, this is not what
you said isn't like, let me make that clear. Isn't that what you
said? asked? said yes.
What he said, But why do you want to go for that? He says, Because I
limped under dunya seasonal movement, I figured out that this
world is just the prison for the believer anyway.
Right. So the hereafter is the paradise so so I want to go to
that hill foes I want to go to the abode of victory. I want to get
myself out of here for a good purpose. I want to go from here.
And I'd rather give preference to my partners, my my colleagues, for
life webseiten Even if that's one moment, they can live more than
me, I'd rather give them that preference. And well, I only octyl
maybe today I may be killed, fired for OSHA, Ruby. And this evil this
calamity that has come upon us will be dissolved and extinguished
because of me. So everybody will be everybody will be safe. And
nobody besides me will be killed.
La ilaha illa Allah so this person says for Egypt to min min min
Fossati like he's so eloquent. So so clear in what he wants and in
His desire, like immediately in that moment,
said, Okay, fine, you can go to the judge.
So then that's when his color change because what you're going
to put me in front, I thought it was just going to die. Like I
thought it's just gonna kill me. You're telling me I have to go in
front of a judge like this. Apparently that was more
difficult. Right? Subhanallah that was more difficult. And he started
weeping for a solid hour or two who either had his his tears began
to flow in his cheek. Is the call the calling me said yes, he's
called you.
He said
And you so then well if that salaries are so particular says
okay for how can Aliya Java two because in a you know if the
college calls you you it's a it's a response it's a religious
responsibility for you to respond and go. So he says I entered with
him the guy the executor I entered with him and I told the Khalif
under Kobe what just happened outside this whole event. They
were shocked.
They were astonished like this is getting even more strange.
The Kobe asked him a complicated muscle. The Kogi asks him, men and
walima hooked mama Ara de la hooby hulking. Who are you? Why were you
created? And what has Allah intended with your creation or by
your creation?
We're in a horrible comic. And where is your Lord? With respect
to you right now? Like how is your Lord dealing with you? Right?
These are kind of really interesting questions.
So then he turns around to him and he says, Woman and the lady does a
loony. Who are you to ask me these questions. So he says I'm the
causal conduct. I am the chief judge. I am the judge of all
judges here.
So then this is when he gets his bravery back. He says okay, even
law robbery rock. That means there is no load besides you. There's no
God besides you while Mudassir work and there's nobody worthy of
worship besides you. He's going by the fact that he called himself
called in covert the Judge of all judges. If you're the judge of all
judges, that means there's nobody worthy of worship behind you.
There's nobody a lord besides you, and the causal covert will have a
young will firstly will cover and this is the day of judgment you
can say right because you must be the Lord of the world's by being
becoming coddled culottes, but now so called Hiroshi rudo, Han and
mashallah people have been gathered here. Right so this is
may Daniel Harsha
find enough of his soul but he said if, if this is that day of
judgment, I don't recall, you know, the trumpet to have been
blown. Like what's going on?
What are tarbiyah
what a training and that's not even Junaid Al Baghdadi This is
like the most ignorant of them. Allahu Akbar.
Allah subhanaw He says, Allah says, want to feel healthy. So the
first move is to fill out the
law. That's when the Trumpet will be blown. Everybody is going to
soon everything the heavens and earth are going to soon except,
well, Allah wills. So what's going on here? That hasn't happened yet?
And I mean, monocytic I'm probably the only one who's swooning. He
says, an amendment sha Allah, Allah de la Asha, do nothing. Or
maybe I didn't even experience that. What's going on here? Where
is this? The call the couldn't say anything in return for a while,
like it's just getting more astonishing, more strange as they
go along. So he doesn't have an answer for a while.
La ilaha illa Allah.
So then he finally says, so you're trying to call me a god? Are you
trying to make me the God?
So he said, ma Allah, you're the one that made yourself out to be
the God when you call yourself Cadell. CO that's the Judge of all
judges. You're the one who made yourself out to be the Lord. When
a so called the workplace a causal causal in law call the law the
ugly one or you are a causal causal could only be the one who
can be absolute in his judgment and no judgment can be made
against him.
That's the real cause included What are you saying?
A vaca tyrannical USMA like you have no other names, you've lost.
You've lost all ability to formulate another title that you
had to use this title and he's telling him off.
America fucka Colville Muslimeen but you could have just called
yourself called the of the Muslims are huddled. fuqaha are one of the
jurists, I had to mean by the law, or just the servant of Allah you
could call yourself had some Mater because in covert, you know,
instead, you call yourself the Cadell co.it the stack Berta and
the cool Anna, it used to be that okay, if you if you didn't want to
call yourself, Ali Abu Dhabi thought your real name then you
could have called yourself the judge of people he kept on him,
said a number of other things to him until the kadhi started
weeping. semana it just looks like there was soft hearted people
there were people filled with iman. We do have some decent
leaders who do weep and who do read the Quran. And yet there's
others who just have impunity and so on.
Even the Hadith, I started crying by now just witnessing this whole
spectacle because he was absurd to start with Junaid or the Junaid he
started crying as well.
And finally he told his children take it easy access admin ATAR
because we'll call it like take it easy with the judge. Take it easy
peace
Often him for cord cutters that you've already killed him. Let him
go. Now when the Kobe came back to his kind of senses, he said, Yeah,
abolhassan. Who was that? He wasn't that that students thing
was I would have done he said,
Okay, let me answer my question. The one I asked you like, give me
an answer to my question. And I make Dover I make dough before I
said earlier, I'm not the accordion, make Toba for that
answer my question at least. So you said, telling me the masala
again, because I forgotten it. So he asked him the question again.
So now this person, he starts looking towards this right? And he
said, a teacher, what are you going to respond? He looks to his
list. And then he said has to be Allah, only Allah is sufficient
for me. And then after that, he did something similar on his left
hand side. And and then he looked in front, and he said, Are you
going to respond? Like he's talking to something? Right, we
spoke speaking to himself by looking right, left and in front.
And they said, Alhamdulillah, then he raised his head to the coffee.
And he said,
may Allah have mercy on you. When you say that? Who are you? Well,
simply Anna Abdullah. I am the servant of Allah.
Because Allah says he could lumen fifth word, you will have the
money either.
Everything in the heavens enough, eventually they're going to come
they have to come to Allah as a slave. So I'm a slave. And when
you say, why were you created? Well, because Allah was a treasure
that was undiscovered, unknown,
because there was nobody else. Right? And
Allah created me, Allahu Akbar, Allah created me to recognize him.
This is something that we always forget, forget. That's our purpose
to recognize Allah. That's our purpose is to recognize Allah to
get to know him. So Allah subhanaw taala says, well, not halacha
Jinnah will insert in earlier we don't.
I've only created the Jinan ins to worship me.
Worship Me,
your worship someone you know, so you need to know me. That's what
Allah is saying.
And he says, This is exactly what I busted the Allah when I said
here, he gives the seed as well.
Then he says, when you ask me that, what does Allah want from my
creation?
I think Allah just wants to honor me. That's my response. Because
Allah says, in Surah, three Surat wala cada Khurana, Benny,
we have honored the Children of Adam. That's what that's what,
that's what Allah once from me Subhan Allah. Luca is mad if you
look at his recognition of Allah.
And then when you say that, where is my where is your Lord, with
regards to myself. So the response to that is that he is with me the
way I am with him.
He is with me the way I am with him. So reciprocal relationship.
Because Allah says Oahu, American Aina contem. He uses that verse.
He is with you, wherever you are. He uses that verse While America
in our country.
So then the caveat this point asking says how can he be with
you? Well, Matt, Anna, and with us
with regards to this verse, or America, minima. Quantum says,
well,
he says he's with all of us the way we are with him. So if we are
with him in obedience, then his response with us is with
assistance and guidance, additional guidance. And if we're
with him, in negligence, meaning for negligent of him, then
then he keeps us suspended, where he's either going to punish us, or
he's going to forgive us, that's going to be up to him.
And if we're disobeying Him,
then He is giving us time.
If we're disobeying Him, then he's still giving us time. Right, he's
delaying his judgment. Then if we do Toba, then he's going to be his
interaction with us with of acceptance. And
if we don't do that, then he's going to punish us.
Call us adopt.
So he says, Okay, that's your now how is he with me? What's Allah
subhanaw taala has relationship with me since you've understood
this matter so well. He said, First you tell me where are you
with Allah? Then I'll tell you how He is with you. said yeah, you're
right. You're right.
Let me ask you another question. So okay, what is it? Why did you
look to your right and to your left and in front when I asked you
these questions, may Allah subhanaw taala dignify you
jurists? He said, But the masala you asked me about it.
If I didn't have an answer for it, I didn't know what to tell you. I
didn't know how to formulate an answer. So that's why I asked the
angel on my right.
And he didn't know the answer. I didn't get anything back from him.
So I looked to my left, I asked that angel, he didn't give me a
response. So then I looked at my heart, I look towards my heart.
So I'll do Colby.
So it said based on it secret from Allah that the secret that I
attained from ALLAH, so an answer that came into his heart. What I
responded to you now that Jeff says to him,
maybe he's got him on something. Now. Also, you can speak to the
angels.
These guys were right, like you guys think you can speak to
angels, right?
To kill, to kill the vocal melodica
said way hack.
World be upon you. What do you mean angels, the Lord of the
angels talk to me.
The Lord of the angels speaks to me.
Allah speaks to us through inspiration, divine intuition,
through unveiling through whatever we write, The Lord of the will
forget the angel of the Lord speaks to me.
La ilaha illa Allah such that he's giving me this response that I'm
able to give to you. Based on your question. I didn't know the
answer. I just got it then. And then
that's when the card he says, Okay, now I understand how stupid
you are.
Like your stupidity has now become clear. He's he's making. He's
making him frightened. He says, Now I understand your stupidity,
and your kufr and your heresy has now become clear. What you want me
to do with you now? is frightening him?
Which way should I kill you? What method do you prefer?
So then he responds to him. He says,
What do you intend to do with me? You're the Cardinal codarts.
You're the Judge of all judges. What do you want to do with me?
Can't do anything you tell me. You're the Judge of all judges,
you've made yourself out to be if you are a judge, who can judge and
you cannot be judged, then judge whatever you want, who cares? Like
judge whatever you want. So the judge says, I'm a judge, who can
demand what is to be judged.
Right, or to judge this a bit confusing what he says here?
So he says, Have you understood? Let me tell you one thing, let me
remind you of a statement of a guidance from the judge who can
judge as He wills and who cannot be judged against. Let me just
remind you of something here said and he read the verse in Surah
Yaseen philleo Mela tovala Munna sushi Oh ALLAH to J zona, il
coutume dark maroon, today, you will know knifes no person no soul
will be oppressed in the least and you will be compensated right? You
will not be coming to except for what you did, which means that it
needs to be justice, right?
So I said okay, fine. What do you want, then what should I do to
you?
says, do whatever you want.
And then he said,
he said, Do whatever you want because I'm satisfied to meet my
load. I'm ready for it. That's why I came in for all of this big
discussion between was just all on the side. The main reason I came
on and willing to meet my load, that's when the car the turned his
head towards matawa kill biller and he said yeah, I mean remote
meaning otro ca Allah, I have tried everything, leave these guys
alone let them go.
Because if these people are heretics, if these people are
deviance, then Felisa Allah which allowed the Muslim then there is
no Muslim on this earth. These are the Muslims.
Without you Masabi Hardeen langtons of the Dean they are what
they are equal Islam the pillars of Islam, Hula, hula, el Mina,
Hakka these are the true believers a bird Allah al McCulley soon now
the Khalifa you look towards Junaid and says about Carson, that
was his title. He said Al Qasim these jurists had gathered here
had gathered this huge gathering here and they were willing to
debate you why? Because they wanted to kill you. They wanted to
have you killed rather and murdered if they dominated you,
but you have actually dominated them. Right, you've overcome them.
And
I had decided I'd already given the judgment that if you dominate
them, if you're victorious, then I'm going to basically run my
sword against all of them. Right? So either you're gonna forgive
them
or they're all gonna die.
It's up to you now. You either forgive them or they're all gonna
die. He says Billa
refuge of ALLAH yeah see the moot? I don't mean home be sober be How
can any of them be killed and be led to, to die because of my my
Aries my, for my, for my cause Allah may Allah forgive us all and
forgive them as well. And there is no there is nothing against I have
against them for what they have done to me, because what drove
them to do what they did was their ignorance and not having knowledge
of what's going on. Right? Allah subhanaw taala forgive us and them
and hamdulillah the gathering dissipated, and they resolved this
major conflict. Nobody had to die well hamdulillah
the club we really took a liking to this annuity. And he said yeah,
Ali, I'm really amazed that your state and so on. Wala who Shaheed
and Allah is Witness that I love you. But I want to ask you another
question. seeking assistance from you like an honest question as a
Mr. Shin. So may Allah have mercy on you helped me out, says okay,
you can ask whatever you want. If I've got an answer, I'll give it
to you. And if I don't have an answer, I'll say Allah al Malik.
I have no knowledge whether Yeah, whether Yeah, awesome. 30. Canada.
Yeah, that's not difficult for me to say, I don't know. We should
all learn from that. So he asked him about a number of issues. And
the story carries on, but I think, then he goes on to a different
kind of track. But that that much is just to show how it's not easy
being in this world. That's the point of all of this is not easy
being in this world. Especially, I want to say to the people who are
trying to be good because this is a question as these difficulties
only came to me after I started praying, I never used to pray
before I started praying. And I've got this calamity of God, that
calamity this has gone wrong, that's congruent as Al
Hamdulillah. That is exactly what's going on. As it is
shaytaan. Don't you understand? So the shaytaan trying to mislead
you, or it's Allah testing you to see how far you will go with this.
Right? You need to just ask Allah, Allah wants to see your savings to
build up using because you see what, what if a person has not
been close to Allah?
How is Allah gonna make him close to him, he wants to be close, but
he's just doing a few good deeds. He started praying. Right? People
should be praying anyway, he started praying. But that heart is
not connected, to give you a calamity. So he forces you to
actually connect with your heart now, so that even your Salah
becomes better, because until now your Salah you just started as a
ritual, maybe that's what I think that Allah gives these calamities
to force a person. Because if the calamity is making us worse from
away from Allah, that's a punishment. That's not That's not
there's no goodness in that. So to to connect with Allah subhanaw
taala. And this happened with a number of number of righteous
Olia, there's so many stories about that, which we can't go into
right now. Because we've kind of gone over time today, for the
first time, I think.
You see, this is the secrets of this. How do you know there's
goodness in something or a quality in something?
And you know, when I read this, it made a lot of sense. Sometimes you
have a prominent
a che, and there's a charge against them and accusation
against them. Has he been
jealous people, they start putting spurious claims in them. The Times
does an article on them. Nobody knew that they had a bit of
popularity, but the time runs an article. And suddenly everybody
knows about them. Right? All of the lectures people are listening
to I mean, I don't want that. But you know what I'm saying this is
sometimes and then in the end, after four years, they win a lot
of money as well, sometimes. Somehow. I mean, I don't know how
good that money is. I mean, after four years of difficulty, I don't
want any compensation. Allah protect us, but somehow that has
happened to a number of people who are trying to do good things,
scholars and others, you know, who are trying to do some good work,
right? So look at this. A poet says we're either Arad Allah Who
Nisha for the lettin to end at Ah ha ha Lisa Anna. Hi, Sue the Lola
Lola. Ha ha Luna de magia. What? Monica? Anna, you are awful Tebow.
Our Phil Rudy. What that means is that when Allah subhanho wa Taala
wants to spread the virtue of something. He wants to give a
promotion to a cause. Right? Through an individual that is
hidden so far, not many people know about it. But it's mashallah
very valuable cause Allah subhanaw taala just releases the tongues of
the jealous people
against them. Now, that is your promotion. That's the promotion of
this.
And then he gives he says that if it wasn't that the fire would also
burn the things around them that are neighborly that are in charge.
Ace into it, then there's no way that you could smell, you could
get the fragrance of root.
Because if you don't burn out, you're not gonna get this
fragrance of it. The only way to get the fragrance of old is to but
what is the root? Oh, there's the oil inside that would stick.
That's what it is. If you don't burn it, you're just not going to
be able to get those vapors out. So that's, you're going to have to
get burned sometimes to get pure, so that the goodness comes out of
it. And we get so there's a number of benefits in calamities, if only
we could see it that way. And Allah give us a fortune to deal
with them. But we don't live for calamities. We're not asking for
calamities. I'd rather have Alfia if Allah wants to give us
calamities, and what are we going to do about it?
That's why
I'd rather not leave this for next time. He's basically saying that
when a calamity is there, what essentially they're saying is that
it's like you are being thrown into the fire of Allah's Jellal of
his majesty of his awesomeness, you're being thrown into that
fire.
But it's like the fire that Ibrahim Ali Salam is being thrown
into. So you need to be like Ibrahim alayhi salam when you're
thrown into the fire of calamities of the jungle of Allah, or what
did Ibrahim Al Islam do? When he was being thrown in the angels
came to him and he said, I can protect you tell me? He said No,
Allah is watching I leave it to him.
That's what he says Kuno Ebrahimian become Ibrahimi in this
context. Leave it to Allah.
And Allah will then say to that fire Yeah, now rule Cooney Barden,
wa salam and Allah Ibrahim of fire become cool. And a place of safety
and security for Ibrahim Ali Salam upon my way of Allah upon my
worry.
For in Cali baharu Hubbardton wa salam and that's why it's related
from Ibrahim Ali salaam, Mara a tuna Iman cut to mythological a
yami let he couldn't do we have enough. I've never seen such a
shower of bounties like the days I was in that fire.
What Allah gave me so in sha Allah,
may Allah give us our fifth May Allah give us strength and
fortitude. That is the Nergal that's the fire of the Majesty of
Allah that we could be in. If we deal with it in the right way. May
Allah subhanaw taala help us may Allah subhanho wa Taala give us
closeness to him. And may Allah subhanaw taala protect us working
with that our annual hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Allahu Salam Salam,

the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our Dean wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate, which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,
you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more
sustained study as well as aka la harem Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
wa barakato.
