Before we start, just
call the IELTS who's one of the great Maliki scholars?
Is a very,
he's very big.
He's one of the early Hadith commentators, you'll already see
that
it's very diverse, but he was buried in Fez,
Morocco.
So
he, he's related when he's doing the biography of him ematic
in his 30 Bill methodic it's a book of his
he says that
the nisi scholar of the earlier time
one of your medic students, it looks like so he relates from him
that Denise he said that once we were by Imam Malik and his
students were around him
there was a person who had come from na si bien
and he said that among our people in na si been in come to Madina
Munawwara but he said in na si bien
na si bien is, I believe where the jinn came from that heard the
Quran as, as mentioned, solid region, they were the Jinn of
Naseby and
so that particular area, he said, we have a group of people there
who they call the Sufis, they call them the Sophia.
They eat a lot.
So they have a good meal. And then they start reading CARSIDE
Casillas, machines casinos, they start reading them and then they
all stand up and they start dancing.
So your mom Maddox is a CBN on home are they children?
said no. Said Are they crazy?
said no.
These are mushy.
You know, these are the shapes of Sufis and other people intelligent
people Ocala Chiba Malik says I've never heard any of the Islam to do
this.
This kind of you know, sitting eating standing up and getting
into a list you know, it almost looks like a show
because it almost looks like an entertainment have a good meal.
Read some considers which is really enjoyable. And then after
that stand up and basically so these referring to those that kind
of do the advocate dancing of standing up and things like that
said I've never seen anybody do that
from the halal Islam.
So that man said to him, no, but they eat
and they stand up.
And they do this dancing and some of them are hitting their heads
and some of them are hitting their faces.
So Imam Malik just laughed at this and got up and entered the house
into this house, so used to give it to us outside and he's back in.
So the other students they said to this man would come
you you're a bad luck you're you know what, what have you done?
What kind of a thing Have you mentioned?
We've set with him for over 30 years with the mimetic.
We've never seen him laugh at something like like today.
A lot of good to be
who's a great scholar. He's a Sufi himself from under Lucia. He says
in his commentary of the Quran, you know, in Switzerland far we
have enamel not be known Alladhina either located Allah when Allah
Kulu boom.
What either toliet ra him is to the tomb Imana for an Arab
behemoth our Kowloon they should be the characteristic of somebody.
When the vicar of Allah takes place. The Verily the those who
are truly believers are only those who when Allah is mentioned, and
Allah has decreed takes place, their hearts become submitted
softened and full of fear. And when the ire of the Ayat of Allah
the Quran is recited. Then it increases the mean Iman
and they have full reliance on Allah subhana wa Tada.
So, he says
that Allah subhanho wa Taala
commenting on that, he says that Allah subhanaw taala has described
the believers in this verse as having half as having fear
while watching and this feeling of submission and
you
ability when Allah's name is mentioned,
that is because of the strength of their faith.
When the vicar, when somebody does the call of Allah, then
immediately affects them and soften them up because the
hardness is gone.
One of the reasons why we don't we're not affected by the Dhikr of
Allah is because the hardness of the heart is still there. So it
takes a while intellectually, anybody on the path has figured
out that the crease should be powerful and should affect them.
So we intellectually stop everything else and refocus, but
it's still probably not having the desired effect of immediately
softening the heart and just overcoming us. Because
spiritually, we're not prepared yet, which only happens by taking
the name of Allah that eventually that will happen.
So
this is because of it says, These people, they become like this
because of the strength of their faith. And they are constantly
constantly mindful of Allah subhanaw taala they are constantly
mindful of Allah subhanaw taala that focuses Allah all the time.
So when his name is mentioned, it's just,
you know, they just, that's the highest level of immersion.
You know, when you are thinking about something constantly,
whether that be your new car, or whatever the thing is, and
eventually, if somebody starts talking about that particular car,
you get really excited. When you get to that car when you start
driving it you get really excited during the day you have this
elation in your mind, in your in your heart, you're just feeling
excited about something my feeling is Oh, yeah, the car. Now what am
I feeling excited? The marriage, you know, what am I feeling so
excited about? You know, I'm going to, I'm going to get this new new
jacket, you know, that I've really been wanting for a very long time.
I'm going for ombre. You know, I'm going here, I'm going there.
All of these things, just think of something that just excites you.
So even when you're occupied with something else, in the back of
your mind is this satisfaction. You're like wondering, okay, what
is satisfaction about oh, it's that. So it's just like that, that
a person who's connected to Allah will be so satisfied with Allah.
And it's going to be constant. That's the thing with Allah Subhan
Allah it takes a while to get through to him. But when you do,
then it is much longer than any other excitement it will stay.
It will stay.
So this is because of the color of the Iman and they're being
constantly mindful of Allah. What can the home been add? It is as
though they are in front of Allah subhanaw taala.
There's a number of verses that explain the state and we read
these so that
this is see when you don't know something.
If no, alto Allah He, in one of his aphorisms, he says that
sometimes for some people, Allah subhanaw taala, will grant them
his Malefor. without them having done too much deeds, too much
extra deeds for Allah is without photo, Nobody's going anywhere.
But he says that, sometimes Allah will open up window to his Malefor
without a person and a person thinks I haven't done enough
additional deeds, I haven't done extra noir film and so on and so
forth. So a person should not worry about that. Because the MK
said, is the the Malefor of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.
That's the MCSA of every thing you do. So if Allah wants to bestow
you with that, optionally, that's up to him. So he does that. So
don't worry about that.
But make sure you continue to be thankful for this.
Now, this doesn't happen to everybody. But for most of us, we
have to make an effort to get to that stage of modify, modify
means, what does modify mean? Modify means that Allah subhanaw
taala gives a person starts to open up his names to people.
Do you understand? Allah opens up his names, the meaning of His
Names, right? The names of Allah, we may have memorized them, we may
have read them. And we intellectually understand them
that okay, he's Rama, he's got Rama and he's got he's little
forward as well. And he's Haleem as well. But to real experience
these names this is when you start saying quoting that Malefor
Malefor is when you actually start
experiencing the name, you actually the four becomes a
reality to you. The Heleen becomes a reality to the Alim becomes a
reality to you, when you actually start experiencing that in real
life. That
Allah is Aleem, you know, it comes to you, all of these things.
That's what you call, that's one way of understanding Malefor, that
you really start understanding these names and you start seeing
them, they become, you actually see Allah behind everything in
this world in terms of His Names, because that's the only way to get
through to him, through his name that as much as he's revealed to
us. So
that's what the there's a number of other verses that give us a
description of people who are
well aware of Allah subhanaw taala, we read these verses, to
benefit ourselves because I said, intellectually, we want to do it.
If we know that this is the description of somebody who's
connected to Allah, though we may not be so connected, but if we can
even try to make ourselves be in that state, then that helps the
process. You can't as the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, If you
can't cry in your doors then
make yourself out to be crying.
So, a number of other verses will be shared in between,
will be shared between a Latina is advocate Allah wa Juliet Kulu,
boom.
give glad tidings to those who submit if but to those who submit
loose translation,
those whom when Allah's name is mentioned, their hearts begin to
tremble.
That is the state. Now if our heart doesn't start traveling as
soon as we hear the Quran
Can you imagine people like Amara, the Allahu anhu, and the other
leaders of the coloration of the time that when the Quran was
recited,
because they understood it as well.
And they were in tune with
high eloquent and good language, the Quran just swept them off
their feet, even though they were disbelievers. If that's how
powerful the Quran is, that he can take somebody who's a disbeliever
who hates the Quran, right? But it can sweep him of his feet, then
what should it do to us?
Right, who are believers, our most of our problem is that we just
don't understand it a lot of the time, right? So all our hearts
aren't in tune to it must be something or a combination of
things. So give glad tidings to those who humbly submitted to
Allah those whom in Allah's name is mentioned their hearts begin to
tremble. That's a sign
here, Allah Wirkkala another one, where tautomer inocula Wuhan
basically Allah. Now the verse that their hearts find
contentment, satisfaction,
intimate non tranquility,
with the remembrance of Allah.
And he says this can only come about all of the source, the
source of all of this is Maddie for
and strength of the heart with Allah subhanaw taala.
The word Weijun YG let Kulu boom. The real meaning of that is that a
person is frightened of the punishment of Allah.
And so a person thinks of Allah and thinks, wow, you know, but
what have I done against him?
So you think of Allah and then you think, have I fulfilled his
rights?
So it's that trembling, submission and fear. That's what we're good
at. Gulabo means
you Yeah, Allah. Then in another verse.
Allah subhana wa Tada says, Allah Who knows Zilla accidental Hadith
kita Bimota SHA Muthiah Ania duck share era duck Sharia or Amin who
julu the Latina actual Nylabone
submitted Madalina julu Mokulua, whom Allah decree Allah.
So, Allah subhanho wa Taala has revealed the best of speech, which
is the Quran Kitab Omoto, shabby, Muthoni these are all different
disc descriptions of the book of Allah. Its description, duck Shah,
a Roman who julu the Latina Shaunavon those who fear Allah,
their skin, their flesh, their skin begins to tremble.
By by the through these verses, that should be the states
then it trembles sigma Delino julu Mokulua boom illogical and then
their hearts and bodies, their flesh and their heart becomes soft
towards the vicar of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So the whole image you're
getting is that you soft and out towards the vicar of Allah
subhanaw taala it just softens you out it calms you down it just
make
Shoot tranquil. That's the effect of the vicar of Allah just full
submission, listening and obedience
and this is the state of those who have the magnifier of Allah who
know Allah,
who have fear of His wrath and His punishment.
Not
like the ignorant alarm, and the innovators
who start shrieking and shouting
and jumping up and down like like donkeys
and then they think that this is ecstasy for the sake of Allah
subhanaw taala.
They think this is ecstasy
for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala said people when
doing the Dhikr of Allah
Subhan Allah, when a person is in the, in the gathering of the Dhikr
of Allah doing dhikr of Allah, their state should be that of the
messenger SallAllahu arias and the US have the companions
that they should give them money for of Allah, fear of Allah
and it should bring His Majesty and
Majesty of Allah subhanho wa Taala
it should lead them to crying.
And that is why
Allah subhanaw taala didn't I mean these are all verses of the Quran
that is providing this scene for us. That is why Allah subhanho wa
Taala has described the people of Marisa when they listen to him and
the book of Allah is the Tila is made.
What either semi rumor on Zillow ala Rasulillah.
Right? Well either semi rumor on Zillow Illa razzoli Tara Yuna
home, the field Domina dimri Me model for mineral Huck, your
coluna Robina. In fact, Huebner Marsha healing.
When they listen
to that which has been revealed to the messenger, salallahu Alaihe
Salam, you will see their eyes welled up with tears
because of the Hawk that they have recognized because of the truths
that have that has dawned upon them. And they will say that our
Lord, we believe, so read writers from the those who witness writers
of those who bear witness.
When you start reading, when anybody starts reading the Quran,
and it starts striking with our realities, it tells us who we are
and it gets to the core of us, then this should be the state
anybody who's not like that, who this the impact is different on
them, then they are not of the path. They're not part of the
messenger. They're not on the path of the messenger and his
companions.
They have started something else.
Anybody who wants to follow them, they should follow their way they
should be their state.
And who wants to act like crazy fools? And jump about then that is
a different story completely. non Muslim has related a Hadith from
* of the Allah one.
That once the people asked the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
some questions. And I think they overdid it. He started asking too
many questions on that particular occasion. So the peroxide laws and
then came out one day he got into a member and he said, Okay, ask me
whatever you want to this question on Saturday, asked me whatever you
want.
Anything you asked me about? I'm going to give an answer. I'm going
to make it very clear. When I make it very clear.
As long as I'm in this place of mine, this is a time of revelation
to me. This is a time when I'm going to make everything very
clear whatever you asked me about.
However, this was Sahaba finally and then they may have made that
they may have overstepped the boundaries and as soon as they
heard as soon as the people heard this, they stopped.
And
they just fell into a different state. And so the alarmed and says
that I start he was young, younger, is I started looking
right and left
for Jarrell to UltraFit we Amin and where Shimon and I started
looking right and left for either Kulu in Cernan love fun razza
houfy Thirlby yep Key
says I saw every single person would just then wrapped up you
know, like, wrapped up in the shawls in their garments in the
wraps. And they were crying.
That is that should be the state. That should be the state's so in
Montana with he has another narration which is a generational
murder Bob you
Ignacio area says once the profit center loss and give us a more
evil, he gave us some Nasi. He was a very, very effective one more
important, but Eagleton the very very effective advice and counsel
he gave us by from which the eyes started watering, the huts began
to tremble. They didn't start jumping up and down they didn't
start becoming active and things like this comes the Quran is a
calming thing for us.
