Salatu was Salam ala halimun Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa
aalihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman cathedral and
my dear respected are the mighty respected brothers and sisters, a
Solomonic enforcement, the lucky Hanukkah
the talk for this hour is not going to be an academic talk. It's
not going to be about anything but
the most emotion into the love of the prophets in the Bible.
And it's the ocean of the love of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam that we would like to swim in. And
if we could never, never come out of it, then that will be to our
benefits.
There's been many expressions of the love of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. And what we speak about today will definitely
not do justice to it. There's been many great people who have
expressed the love and praise of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam.
In fact, to get people, it's the angels are constantly sending,
making go out and sending interesting things.
In fact, if we go beyond that, as Allah subhanho wa Taala says, In
the Quran, in the law mother in Qatar who follow in Ireland, maybe
there are
some who are certainly interested in someone. So there are 100
articles
for Muslims,
along the paths and needed
theme of Iran
and in that verse, Allah subhanaw taala himself is that he does is
too simplistic.
We are promised 10 blessings for each blessings that we send and
hence the minimum.
The purpose of Allah Almighty He
himself was not a was not a poet.
Neither is the Quran poetry despite the fact that much of it
rhymes. In fact, the Quran in its eloquence, as a
as a speech of Allah Subhan Allah Allah
has a very unique category that it falls into when it comes to forms
of literature if we can place it under a certain genre. I mean,
it's unique. It's the only one in its in its in its category. And
the rhyming of the Quran is called a philosophy. It's a very it's a
very specific although for the untrained eye, they may just think
it's poetry, because it rhymes, but poetry has to fall and has to
conform to certain certain criteria, certain skills, the
meter, and the Quran has its own unique meter which has been
acclaimed by the greatest poets, the greatest of the poets of the
time when the Quran was being revealed to the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and thereafter and it has remained
unchallenged and the chatter
He has been called for by none other than Allah subhanaw taala
himself in the Quran
although the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was not a poet,
his his Kalam and his own speech was highly eloquent to the point
lucid and
in very few words he was able to express great meanings.
And that is something that he himself said that I have been
given ote to Java ME and tell him I've been given this ability to
express these comprehensive statements.
Though the purpose of Allah Varney was that it wasn't a poet, he did
praise some poetry. And he did he did.
encouraged some poets like her son of Nefab it for the Allah AppleID
novella hallelujah Allah one was another great poets among the
Sahaba and the prophets of Allah Bonnie was also praised the
prophet the poem of the bead, who was a poet of earlier times, and
then continued on.
When Islam spread during the time of Roma with your loved one then
channeled or smarter the alone beyond into the Romanians and Ibis
at times, into the Persian lands and the lands of the where people
spoke various different types of languages, the people there, they
found a new way to express their love for the moments of Allah or
leave us alone, and they use the language in the poetry. In fact,
if you study the history of Islam, and its spread, and its
achievement, we understand the
celebration of the architecture of Islam, Islamic architecture, we
understand its calligraphy. However, in terms of artistic
expression, when we look at when we look at, for example,
architecture, when we look at calligraphy, abstract, abstract
decoration,
the highest form of Islamic art has probably seen itself in
Islamic poetry.
I mean, if we are if we don't have access to Islamic poetry, and it's
really unfortunate that if English is our first language, we really
don't have enough access to good Islamic good poetry in praise of
Salah audios in English. And that's very sad for the English
speaking world. However proud you may be of speaking English, right
as the best language in the world today, as some people may think,
you speak it with an air, especially when you're speaking
with somebody else. And you think that you know, it opens doors. But
one thing we have to remember that this language is still deprived of
praise of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam in its higher
forms, in its articulate forms. And that's a very sad fact.
Because if you have access to all do, you will have access to a
multitude of poems just absolutely beautiful, beautiful poetry. If
you have access to Persian, again, you've got numerous tones of
poetry. In Arabic, there's no shortage in many of the other
languages, there's absolutely no shortage. In fact, the way I think
is that a language can only be embellished by poetry about the
province of Liberal Party USA. And I think as English people, those
people who speak English have not yet fulfilled that right for the
English language. Because if you look around this problem, you
could probably count on your fingers, the amount of acclaimed
poets that I've spoken about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, you can probably count them on your fingers. And that's
the sad fact they should be all over. And I think one thing that
we can blame on where we can we can blame this on is the fact that
much of our new generation, it's become a very audio visual
generation, where you're just looking at pictures and
interacting, as opposed to really composing, getting down to the
depths of things. We're waiting for things to be beamed into, into
the center of our mind, by the TV and so on. Rather than really sit
down and think and let the heart speak. And let the pen write, let
the let the words flow and let the poetry come that it's a really
it's a it's a major problem. It's a sad fact. And I think that our
young brothers and sisters here who have some artistic talent,
when it comes to poetry, they need really need to develop this
because otherwise I don't think we fulfill the will fulfill this
responsibility in the English language. And if the English
speaking Muslims on their judgment stand up, they're not going to
have much to present in front of province of Allah is in terms of
the artistic, artistic poetry. In fact, the Islamic civilization,
one in terms of their calligraphy in terms of the architecture in
terms of their poetry, especially, it became it became one of the
greatest civilizations pikes limits in terms of in terms of
contributing in this in this field.
For example,
Khalid Mohammed rascally, he says and this has been able to
translate it into English it says that on the gate of the bounty,
this sinning had beans on the gate of of thy bounty, the singing this
thing had beans, distraught by his love of blessing of face, the
hopes for God's pardon with you as his means. He feels heavens anger,
damp, damp, tears, damp tears on his face. This is our great good
Nigel Escalon his point has been translated into English. But today
we introduce a poem that that is probably that is probably
celebrated as the greatest poem in praise of the Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam that this OMA has now it is something that has been
celebrated the world over and it's adorn the walls of many places and
this is the, this is the casita border, the casita border. It's
got a number of I mean, it's called the mental adorned the
mental old, the pulling of the cloak. Its real name is actually a
bit larger Alcoa, Cuba, Korea, V max height is very Alcoa, it was
the RE Fe Madhavan, Berea, which basically means the shining stars
are the celestial stars, in love, in love of the best of creation.
This poem was composed by
a person of the you could say the 13th century Gregorian 13th
century Gregorian which which is about 700 years ago, or the the
seventh century Islamic
seventh century. He was born in 609. His name was Muhammad Musa
eid and we'll say we'll say the on preceding this is Muhammad Yunus
either will say the shut off has been he was born in Egypt. He
wasn't Egyptian by by Origin, he was actually a more modern
and this actually for majority of us actually gives should give us a
lot of inspiration that some of the greatest expressions of, of
Islamic learning didn't necessarily come from people of
pure Arab background, you know, those from the Yemen or those from
the masala but most of Arabia, but it came from it came from people
of the Turkic origins, it came from people of persian origin.
When you look at the low or unknown area, which is currently
it was Pakistan, anything beyond the Amoud earlier today, which is
north of Iran that entire year. Khurasan you know, some of the
greatest greatest works and contributions along Buhari Imam
tell me the Imam Nissei Imam,
Imam Muslim, Imam Hakim, belated someone Condi bulan. Soon to
reveal I mean, you just, there's just no end to these great, great
people that came from that area. So Islam doesn't have to be
restricted to a particular area. It's whoever takes it, whoever
strives Allah subhanho wa Taala opens up the doors. So when you
look at when you look at Lucy, for example, though he lived in Egypt,
he was of Moroccan Berber origin, and memorize the Quran at an early
age. And then he traveled to Cairo, Cairo was the center. So
you traveled to Cairo. Eventually what happened is that he began to
he he began to become very physically feeble. He became very
feeble, very weak, and he had many children. And it said that he had
an apparently difficult wife as well. I don't know how this plays
into the picture, but this is actually recorded about about him.
And then he was also financially insecure. I mean, these are all
the ingredients of sorrow and misery, and today, what you would
call depression. However, this person had an outlet. This person
had an outlet in which was his love for the rockets of Allah
while he was done. He suffered a stroke which paralyzed him he
suffered a stroke and that paralyzed him he couldn't even
pick a pen up properly. Now, he was known for his poetry was known
for his calligraphy, and it said many good poems in devotion of
Allah subhanho wa taala. And in a number of other subjects, this was
in his middle age, so he wasn't too old either. He wasn't an old
man, when this happened. This was during his middle ages that his
his middle age that the situation became unbearable.
And though he couldn't hold a pen, he expressed, he expressed his
love for the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which has gone
down in history as one of the greatest expressions of love after
the time of the sahaba.
What happened is that he composed this poem, and we'll be looking at
some of this for you. And I'm sure majority of us have probably heard
excerpts of that tape on there. There are a number of good
readings on it that are available online and to purchase and it's
one of the most most commonly read read poems I'm sure many of us
have have heard this point. However,
the story behind it is kind of very interesting. And again, this
is not a unique situation. This is not just something that happened
to say the although the details of exactly what happened here are
unique to society. But there are a number of other great scholars
In which similar incidents took place, because that's just the way
these experiences work, and we tend to deny them just because we
haven't experienced. And so let's look. And you know, that was again
another tact and that was another proficiency that they had to have
to be able to propose validity of that nature. So after hearing,
after he had read this, he said that he read it a few times here
and there, this is the love of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam maybe felt hopeless, and he was expressing his love for the
prophets of Allah or it yourself. And then on one occasion, he fell
asleep. And he had a vision, he had a dream of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wasallam. And in his dream, the prophets of Allah
Islam came, and there's a number of different variations about
this. But the one that we can we can speak about is that the
Promise of Allah and said something to him, and then he
placed his his cloak, the prophets of Allah and he took his cloak
off, and placed it on, on the back over the shoulders and proceeded
in his sleep in history. And when gocd woke up, when he woke up, he
noticed that he had suddenly become better. And this was the
this was an amazing turn of events that he suddenly became better. No
longer was he paralyzed anymore. No longer could he not lift his
hand, no longer could he not right.
He found all of these strengths again, as though his paralysis was
never there.
And then he went outside the house, he went outside, maybe for
something maybe and gone off for a few days, he went outside. And as
he's walking, he saw this pious person who stopped him and he
said, overseeding
he said to him,
Give me that point that you've said in the love of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa salam? And he said, I've said many, which one
are you talking about? Because this was not the only point. This
was the very special point. But there were a number of others is
the Hanzi. And there's a number of other points, when it said in the
interest of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam. This
person said that I want the one that you said in your state of
illness.
And then he read the first few lines of it.
That this this point, this this pious person that he saw, he read
a few libraries, and I want this one, the one you said in your
illness to the Prophet sallallahu sallam. Last night I heard
somebody, I heard somebody reciting this in front of the
province of Allah, Marta, us Allah.
And the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave him his cloak.
I want that point. So then Mr. Guzzi wrote it for him, because he
will say he was taken aback. He said that well, I have never said
this to anybody. I've only been saying this myself, I've only been
reading this to myself, I haven't said it to anybody. It's not
something that I had, I had allowed anybody else to hear.
That's why I was shocked when this happened, when he gave it to him.
And then obviously, that's where the story spread from. That's why
this this story spread around, and everybody found out about this
story. And then after that, it just went all around. I mean, the
mom will soon eventually passed away. In Cairo, Alexandria, in
598, Hijiri 590. He that's, that's just the end of the sixth century.
And he was he was buried in Alexandria in front of the North
Sea, North Sea compound in Alexandria is quite popular. If
you go, it's actually on the, it's on the west end of the caliche. If
you go to Alexandria. Now that his mausoleum that they built all of
these pieces on top of it, so it's actually adorned with the border,
a number of other points as well. This, this point became one of the
most adjoining points of many different structures around the
world.
The I mean, before we get into that, I just want to explain, you
know, before we get into reading some of these bullets, before we
get into looking at some selections of this, the thing
about the Buddha is that it starts in a classical sense, the way many
of the earlier classical poetry began with began to speak about
also it seemed a maiden and at the ruins of a place in your meeting
with this meeting. But this is a clever, this is actually a clever
strategy that's employed by Rossini to kind of capture
people's attention, but then he takes it to the Prophet salallahu
Alaihe Salam. So it's not some better in vain meaning that he's
talking about, although it seems like that in the beginning.
He begins to speak first about, he begins to speak first about
one's love. You don't necessarily know who that love is, you get an
idea. So you start speaking about his love. And then, then he's,
there's some sense, there's exhortation to his own self that
I've seen so much, and I've done this, and I've done that, and I
have had shortcomings and so on and so forth. And then he speaks
about, he speaks that we could never reach the stage of the wrong
syllable Islam and his love. And then he, he says that he's left
the world. Rukhsana Laurie Selim has departed from this world,
where we still have hope. And then he begins to recount some of the
sins of people. And he talks about the problems of the knifes he
speaks very specifically about this about turnips is great. He's
got great insight into the way the nuts and the lower self works. And
he speaks about that. He starts to mention the completeness of the
prophets of Allah
Earlier sentiment, then he's praised the promise of allies and
begins, and he talks about many of the salient features of the
promise of a Lauryssens life, especially his his miracles, you
know, the splitting of the splitting of the moon, and many of
our other miracles he speaks about, he speaks about his
battles, rather than he speaks about the, the ascension, he
speaks about the Meraj, the Islam of the province of Allah, and how
you got so close to Allah subhanho wa taala, he speaks a lot about
this in great praise.
It talks about the great qualities of the prophets of Allah it
yourself and how the Prophet sallallahu is a superior of all of
the profits of all of creation.
And at the end, is focuses on securing the intersection of the
promise of a Lloyds. And so there's many lines at the end,
which talk about
attaining the intersection of the promise of a lawyer sort of where
he's just putting it all out there and saying that I've got nothing
else to show. And if you on the day, turn your face away from the
old prophets, I think salatu salam, Salam o Allah or a USA,
then there is nothing that is going to support me on that day.
So he's really begging for the intercession intercession and the
shofar of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam.
And to tell the truth, from an Arabic perspective, it's a very
eloquent poem, it's not something that you can easily read, though,
those who just kind of learn basic Arabic, or just just normal
speakers of Arabic, to try to read it, it's actually rather
complicated, the wording is used, the vocabulary is used the
construction of the of the lines, they're not very simple. They are,
they do require a lot of pondering over it. But the meaning is just
of immense value, the meaning is very deep, it's very profound. And
though it's very, it's very difficult, it's on a very high,
it's in very high language, it's very high, the tone is very high.
And it's as I mentioned,
celebrated for its eloquence.
For instance, it adorns the Topkapi Palace, which is for five
or 600 years it remained the palace of the of the Ottomans of
the requirements. The fine is one of the longest living dynasties
that this world has ever known. And that's the Muslim dynasty.
That was out of Istanbul, Constantinople is the rule for six
or 700 years. It's one of the longest living dynasties the world
has ever known. You know, that's the Muslim dynasty, and the
Topkapi Palace for about 500 years. I mean, this this was
there.
adorning the walls of that of the Iznik tiles is the tiles are still
there. In fact, this point used to adorn the many houses the green
house in the Muslim private homes of Aleppo and Baghdad, the SUHAIMI
housing in Egypt, which is quite popular.
So now we've been talking about ally ally, his his tomb in
Damascus is also is also adorned with this, He adorns the walls of
the prophets, Allah Lauryssens masjid, the area of the role. In
fact above, if you look above where the Prophet salallahu Salam
is buried, you will see that and if you notice, if you look
clearly, I mean, because it's just your way, when you get there in
that role, that you're just so happy to be there, you know, you
normally don't look up and admire the, you know, admire the
decoration as such. That's all it was the money decoration, that's
all ottoman. And it's still maintained, it's still maintained.
And if you look, there's actually lines of poetry, which some of it
has actually been kind of painted over. And that there's, there's
reasons there that we might touch on. Well, basically, there are
some people who criticize some lines of of his poetry, I think,
is that if you honestly look at this poetry or any poetry,
especially when you put yourself in a poet's mind, poetry is on a
different level. It's not for your literal person, it's not for a
person who's a literalist, who is very critical in the way they look
at things, it's very shallow can read between the lines. That's why
it's actually led some people to, to
criticize or to question and consider some of a few lines, I
mean, two or three lines, maybe of this entire, you know, hundreds of
lines of poetry, they've considered that to be of a
problematic nature. In fact, some have said it's even shipped,
because people find it very easy nowadays, to just consider
whatever they like to be shipped for gas, or whatever it is, it's
quite simple to do that. And I think it's because they don't
really understand they don't want to give the benefit of the doubt,
it's very important that, especially with poetry, and
especially with scholars, people, are people who've been renowned
people who've been accepted, we have to give them the benefit of
the doubt. Now look, if it is, if it's a person of heresy, if it's a
person who is known to say blasphemous things in many of his
other writings, and that's the kind of personality and they've
got a point in which some words insinuates us and ideas and give
give, give an impression that there's some shooting there, then
absolutely. You know, I wouldn't say that we'd be wrong in in
blaming that person for such a thing. But when you've seen
nothing else coming from somebody else, and there's some lines that
are highly metaphorical, that could be interpreted in many
different ways. And the great aroma I mean, there's been
numerous commentaries written on I mean, over
Essentially, there's been so many commentaries and explanations that
have been written on this on this poem that, why should you not give
them the benefit of the doubt? Why do you want to take it in the
worst of its possibilities, just because you don't like it just
because the individual may not subscribe to your point of view.
And that's actually a very wrong way of doing that. And that's why
if anybody, if anybody does, if anybody does have issues with any
lines of poetry, because of things that they may have heard, because
if you do, do a search for will say this, or see the whole that
you will come across both sides of the story, and there's good
explanations there, all those lines that people are criticized,
I'm not going to waste my time he in going into those lines of soil
his gathering, right? Because I don't think that's the point here.
The point here is that we want to look at this and see the good
points that he makes, right. And there's, it's been explained, and
I think it's just a misunderstanding, because poem,
poets have leverage. Poets have never actually got liberty when
they take certain certain
metaphorical explanations, they say certain things in figurative
senses, it kind of extended, and one needs to understand that and
if it doesn't, then if you're taking on a neutral basis, that's
when you will be confused. And you will you may blame someone for
something that they're not really guilty of, and even a normal
Muslim would not do ship. So why take somebody who's so great like
this, that he's committing ship? That's the whole question here.
That, you know, normal people just don't commit ship, especially not
purposely
why take somebody so great who's being celebrated so much.
And the majority of their under the overwhelming majority of
Islamic scholarship has accepted this point.
I think that's enough of that. I think the other place that it
dawns is actually as I said, the role of the Prophet sallallahu. in
Madina, Munawwara our great, great mercy. In fact, there's some other
poetry that I'll be that I'll be pointing out, although when you go
there, you hardly ever even notice it unless you know, it's there.
And some very interesting pieces.
Many commentaries are written on this work. In fact, it's been
translated into numerous languages. It's been translated
into the Malay language or to Turkish Swahili, which is an
African language Somali, French, and English and oriental is
translated into English early, and then there's been a number of
other attempts afterwards. And there's been some recent attempts
as well. I think one of the latest ones have actually, this this work
here, which is by Kim Robbins is very good, very good translation.
Now,
what I'd like to ask is that, I'm going to ask you a few questions.
How many of us have heard of Ludwig van?
Beethoven, Mozart or Beethoven? Right? Seriously, put your hands
up? It has nothing to be shy about.
That's a considerable number of people. Right? What about Johanne?
Sebastian Bach
gets a bit more specialist.
And then what about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? That's another
popular one from
Chomsky.
And Vivaldi.
Okay, and about Brahms.
In the music industry.
How many people have heard it before this?
Seriously, that's that that is something that's a soulful state
of the Muslims. I mean, how many people are out of
capitalism? Hey.
For people, I can't see the system, but three, four people.
And I mean, there's more people that have you heard of Mozart's
and chelski.
And I think you don't even listen to that stuff unless you do.
And you haven't heard of or seen you haven't heard of problems of
hating Spanish tunnels or how many of you have heard of AppleID rava
as a prophet as a poet.
Again, that's way less than loads up. What about some of the
fabulous opponents? That's a bit more but I still think Beethoven
it's a sad fact it's really sad to gauge
it's a sad fact I'm telling you, because this is our literature.
This is our contribution of our heritage.
Why do we have to know these composers?
You know, why do we have because they all around us, and why should
it be a problem if we talk about OCD? Why should it be a problem to
be talked about? If we if we if we talk about the qasida border if
nothing else, but at least we know we've got a heritage so great so
majestic, masha Allah
having the some of this some introspection we need to make
clear we need to change this. Now I'm gonna read, you know, we don't
have much time. We don't have the time to read the entire poem and
to translate it and as I said, if you go online, you can buy CDs and
tapes and the number of number of the great machine and the great
napkins as you call them. They've sung this mobilier
somebody or something that that, that they had the honor.
Now I'm going to just go through just a few selection just to take
us on a journey through this poem just to see how this great artist
is great poet this great Muslim as has composed this poetry, right
obviously didn't have a stickiness and he wasn't going you know like
that. But this gave him this dream. I mean supply has been so
much Baraka on this point. It's full of blessing
so this is how it begins. I mean, the college Iran in the southern
message them on Java be more clutching midomi
I'm repetitively humming till Iike limiting what Oh, lasagna for
cooking Padma Elomi from early I need to include the Kuba Hamada.
One Olimpica includes the stuffing. Yes, Amy. I suppose some
more and no Huberman Kutiman. Ma baina. once said to me, Minho,
Ponte me, LOL al Hawa, learn to lick them and Allah pollarding
wala rectally Vickery will burn you will either me,
I'm going to translate those as we go along.
So he starts it says, Is it from remembering past neighbors at Blue
southern
that you will mingle with blood tears shed from your eyes. So he's
evoking this, this memory of this place to do Salam where he's
talking about something that you knew about your neighbors, some
somebody you knew?
Or has the wind blown from before coffeemaker and the lightning
flashed in even stuck Kadima is a name of it's the, it's one of the
names of Madina Munawwara so he's saying or is it that the wind has
blown from before Calvin from Medina and the lightning flashed
in Eden's dark enemies, a mountain near the city, that is a lightning
that splashed down there.
What ails your eyes, that when you bid them sees the weep still more?
What is your heart that when you bid it to wait? It wonders?
reckons that love law, the love law and man that his love may be
concealed when a tolerance in one part of him and in the other is a
conflagration which means there's tears and there's a burning heart
within him. Then he says, but for passion, you wouldn't weep at an
abandoned camp. No lie awake at night recording the willow and the
mountains. The Willow is the fragrant tree under which the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sometimes set and taught
and the mountains the mountain is most likely speaking about my mom
Hera, which is which is near Mutko. But for passion you
wouldn't we've actually abandoned the camp, the camp that he's
talking about where the neighbors were walking around, is that what
we're talking about or is it Medina we're talking about is as
you wouldn't we this is why am I weeping? You wouldn't weep for an
abandoned camp. No lie awake at night recording the willow and the
mount? That's what you'd probably be. That's what you would probably
be.
You'd probably be Wait. You're probably be weeping for and then
he says, but they don't care or have been back there. machesney
that be here? Either you can be here, or do look dumb. He will
suffer me. Which means how so? How can you denying your love when
witnesses of tears and sickness have testified to it against you?
He's invoking is talking about his tears in his sickness. How can you
deny the love when they've borne witness against you? What better
watch do have the ability to abandon mythical Buhari Allah take
our enemy, lovesick passion has written upon your cheeks to tear
lines like yellow spice and read animal foods. This is how much
tears that have been shed in this industry God
na sala Playfoam Anwar Rockley recovering well could we tell you
that even other means? Yes, my loved one spirit haunted me and
denied me my sleep for love ever obstructs pleasures with kingdom
then he says yeah hola me Phil have a really rotten mini Eleaf
Covello on software doesn't really turn me well on softer lumber to
me. You blame me for this chase love this love of the prophets of
Allah isn't those who blame me for this love
is addressing his critics. I seek Your pardon. Yet had you judged
fairly you would not have blamed me at all. Had you thought deeply
about this? You would not have blame and blame me. It's only due
to shallow a shallow look at these things that you actually blame him
for these things.
And then a few players later
he says in the home to in Mr. Hunt you'll see a shave if he either he
was shave or aberdovey knows when to hurt me. I suspect the council
even have my own gray hairs.
I suspect that comes to the advice given even by my own gray hairs,
although their advice is far from deception is self censoring you
saying that despite the fact that I've now got gray hair, I still
didn't wake up. I still didn't really embarked on the worship of
the prophets of Allah subhanho wa Taala and really pull myself
together. So he's saying that despite the fact that I suspected
their advice is far indeed from deception when you got white hair
coming you know you're getting old. There's no deception about
that. That's clear cut. And then he says, in Amara TV su Mata our
mean generally has been a DD shave, you will Harare and he
starts talking about his naps. And he says, thanks to its
foolishness, my ill urging ego has paid no heat to the woman is
because of our enough sisters. So into the dirt and into the
pleasures of this world. It paid no no heat to the Warner white
hair and decrepitude. decrepitude means either old age, despite all
of that by knifes just thought I could go on and on even though oh
eight and hit me and so have my white hairs.
And then he says, What are the middle fingers? Jimmy? ritiro by
even Allama, bureaucracy hieromartyr Shimmy? Neither has it
prepared fair deeds, in hospitable welcome for a guest who has taken
up residence on my health.
Neither has my knifes or have I prepared good deeds to be
hospitable for the guest who has taken up residence on my head? For
this whiteness, I should have been?
I should have been clear cut in the way I'm going to worship Allah
subhanaw taala. Now, I should have been reformed by now. But no, he
hasn't. So it's all self censor. But it makes us reflect as well.
Where is our states? We're getting our gray hairs as well. And where
are we going? Now we're going to ask them and Nima walk you through
who get them to say one brother and he mean who will treat me and
then he says that had I understood that I would not have honored it
on it what my gray hair, right uses using that as a point of
reference is saying that had I understood that I would not have
honored it. I would have used that column die, I wouldn't use that
die. To hide it when it disclosed itself. I would have kept hiding
it. I thought that I wasn't going to be able to respect and honor
it.
And then
for the room Bill ma See, Gus Russia, what do you have in
Toronto, my two CO we shouted me heavy. It was attention to the
fact that a lot of eating is going to now draw attention to the
nature of the soul, the nature of the nuts and how it becomes so
tyrannical and how it becomes so strong. So he says, Thanks, I
think not to break, Think not to break unlawful wins by satisfying
them. Don't think that you're going to be able to break the
whims of your knifes by satisfying them. Because what happens with
the knifes is that it turns you do this, you feel like doing
something.
You feel like drinking something, you feel like listening to
something you feel like
committing something. And you think once more let me just
satisfy this craving for this last time. So he's he's talking about a
very profound point here he says that do not break. Do not think
not to break don't think you can break unlawful wins by satisfying
them. Food only increases a gluttons desire.
Because the person who's obese who loves to eat, right? That person
is not going to save himself or protect himself or stabilize
himself and get any better by continuing to eat even though
there's just such a pang of hunger within that person. And then these
are very famous lines and we should inscribe them within
ourselves oneness So thankfully, in Tamil who shoved under the hood
bairrada II were in the thing we and taught me.
Well let's do to cut briefly into Gmail who Shambala hooked the
robot, he was interesting Huyen 14, and that means the ego the
nose is like a child. It's like a child, think about a little baby
that's drinking its mother that's nursing, neglect it and it will
grow still sucking, if you just let it continue to suck, then it
will grow out and it will never be able to wean itself. But if you
read it in two years or within two years, if you read it it will
become weaned even though that was the only source of nourishment
that it had no, but if you kept it on it would carry on.
So the ego is like the egos like a child neglect it and he will
meaning me with let it be a
It will grow up suckling, and if you read it, it will be removed
and our last is the same. And Allah subhanaw taala grant us
control over our nerves, Allah, Allah, Allah
put us in control of our nerves even don't put us under the
control of our lives even for the blink of an eye because that's
what's dangerous. That's why this guy is very powerful Allah ma
sniffling or shutting down as well as the killer.
All the reform all of our affairs and don't put us under the control
of our lives, even for the blink of an eye. And then he says, he
continues and he says, What are YHA? Well, he had been murdered in
Mattoon. We're in here
to see me guarded as grazing in the pasture of deeds and should it
find the grazing sweet let let let it not roam.
A few couplets later he says what stuff really dumb I mean, I
encouraged him to mineral mahogany me one once I'm hitting yet
another we empty out the tears from an eye that has stuffed
itself from forbidden forbidden sites. empty out the tears from an
eye that has stuffed itself with forbidden sites. Whole hard to a

remorseful don't and continue to weep from the eyes that have
looked at things which are not supposed to look at. Well how they
think Napster was shaped on what see Hema were in Houma, Maha
bottler in Houma, Madhava and Noosa. But the heavy and this is
very important. He says that this disobey the ego and the devil,
disobey your loves and the devil dispute with them, argue with
them, suspect them be suspicious of them both, even when they offer
you true counsel. So even if they tell you something which you think
even if they tell you something that you think they're telling you
suspect them even then because they are hobby, because they will
always take you to destruction. When I take renew my husband,
voila, Hackerman button the dinosaur key though possibly we'll
have to meet off the train of the to obey neither, whether they are

the arbitrators ploy
a structural law hum encoding biller Amylin local sub to be less
than the local me. And then he says, I asked Allah pas and I seek
forgiveness from Allah for words not followed by deeds. When I say
things and I don't follow them by deeds, we seek protection Allah we
seek forgiveness and Allah subhanaw taala for for such
ourselves as well. For by them did I attribute progeny to a steroid
man. And then he says
a man to call hydrolock in Tamil to be almost come to form a co
leader is stalking me. I come I commend goodness to you while not
conforming myself,
I tell you to do good. While I don't do it myself being crooked,
of what use is my command to be straightened? If I'm cooking

Whether there's a word to Kamala Latina, affiliated one and
suddenly see what formed in one I'm assuming. He says no optional
devotions do I have I don't have any natural devotions have no no,
no optional devotions. Have I accumulated ready for my death? My
demise? No, have I fasted no prayed more than the minimum
required? I've just done my follow up. I've never done any No, after
neither have I done done any, neither have I kept any extra
costs. And then this is where he begins to talk about one service.
And this is where the shift takes place. Right. And then we got to
look at a few selections, and then we're going to finish this. But
this is where the shift takes place. It says bottom too soon.
Letterman, Bada, ILA and each
other and each other now who don't run in one army. I wronged I've
wronged by my actions I've grown. The example of him who revived the
Black Knights stood up in the hijab at night,
praying until his feet complained of painful swelling.
I mean, this is the first reference he has of the Rasul
Allah, this is a reference to something of the worst of the
worst. And he chooses this very important aspect. Very important
aspect, which is that the Promise of Allah ism, you've heard this
before that you would stand and pray at nights until his feet
would become stone swollen, and his wife, usually Allah or asked
him why he did this. And her expression was that why'd you do
this when your sins have been forgiven? Why do you need to go
that far? And he says that she might then be an absolute shockula
Should I then be
A grateful servant. What is grateful seven mean? See grateful.
So when you're doing sugar for what Allah has done for you by
forgiving your by forgiving your misdeeds, right, if that's the
sugar, you're doing that basically that's a direct response. I mean,
when you do sugar Allah gives you more. When you're grateful, as
Allah says in the Quran that if you thank Allah, He will give you
He will, we will increase you
may in Chicago to Allah is even if you make if you make thanks to
Allah, then we will increase you.
So the thanks is for that. Because Allah has given me forgiveness of
all deeds of all misdeeds. That's the whole reason I have to do this
because the level of forgiveness and protection is so high that
this is the height that I have to go to. So what Mussolini is saying
here that with all my misdeeds, with all my weaknesses, I have
literally oppressed the example of the one who who enlivened his
knights by by doing this worship that made his feet swollen.
Anyway, we're not, you know, we, we don't really have time for a
lot, but I'm sure you can get copies of this and read them for
yourself and inspire yourself. I'm just gonna take a few others
towards towards the end. He he praises the Prophet sallallahu It
was impressive. I mean, now, it just continues his praise of the
rest of the lives and picking very senior features, says, who was
Habibollah the Torah, Joshua to I'm sure many of us have heard
this one will have already told Joshua to liquidly how Hold on a
minute, a book that he read, and that means he is the loved one who
is intercession is hopeful. He is the loved one who is intercession
hopeful a victory against every terror and calamity. Forgive me
I'm not a very good reader of this I'm sure there's others who could
have read this a lot better you know, and inspire you even more
data in Allah. It could be wisdom seeker wanna be heavily in Hiram
unfussy me to God with his call, so he is on call to call me this
call. And those who hold fast to him hold fast to a rope that shall
never been that that shall never break.
But never be enough he hung in with the hooking what I knew that
I know will fail Meanwhile, our economy in his form, and in his
qualities, he excelled the other prophets, their knowledge and
nobility did not live on his own. What could have been Rasul? Allah,
He will tell me some horror from linen balcony, oh rush for a
minute via media, each of them seek something of God's Messenger
handfuls from the sea or drops of the of this reason.
And then I'll just read a few from the end.
Right to the end, it goes back to seeking intercession from the
grace of the Lord. So he says, in the lumber from IBM, we will talk
we will talk to you then b then b e, wala Hubballi, demon Solomon.
Yet, despite my sin, despite all of my sins, my pledge with the
prophet is still unbroken. And the code which binds me to him has not
been taught. That's one thing that I have kept on, even though I've
been such a great sinner, and I confess that I have kept my quad
to the horizontal. So don't, don't be misled by this. Right? This,
this isn't some kind of anti Omean kind of expression he's making,
which is that as long as as long as you have love, you are, you are
saved. This is not one of those things in in the Christian sense
of it, that many Muslims are following nowadays, which is that
you know, the whole lasagna idea that when you go on Sunday, and
you're gonna you express your love, you're fine. That's not the
point here. You know, somebody claims to love the Promise of
Allah. So there needs to be some actions that follow. This person
is a man of action. But he is self censoring. He is exalting himself
that I haven't done enough. I know I've got sins because this was
him. Each person who understands even the prophets on the Day of
Judgment will be concerned. And that's the state of a true
believer that a concern of the shortcomings in the sight of Allah
subhanho wa taala, the mighty and the majestic, because there's
nothing that we can do that is really that is really will fulfill
the rights of Allah subhanho wa Taala in the highest sense, and
the more a person has made a knowledge of Allah subhanho wa
Taala The more a person will understand this and understand
their own feebleness and inability. So please don't
understand this that as long as you've got love for the Prophet
salallahu Salam, and you know, you you express that once in a while,
you don't have to make Salah to anything else. And then you know,
you're just gonna ask for his shepherd. No, this is this is
somebody who's doing all of his good deeds is doing all of the
deeds. They still confess Him to that in his hope is on this. And
then he says, but in any event, but a man who meets me at Mohammed
and we're open hulky with the mummy. By him, I have a safe
conduct having been named Mohammed, he who is most faithful
and in safe conduct.
In the media convening more in the media consumer are given via the
Fabien pocket. He hasn't called me in the afterlife if he takes not
my hand. If he doesn't drop me separate shofar if he does not
take my hand kindly, then my feet will slip. i Laughs for such less
fortunate. Harsha who a URI Mirage uma Karima, who are your gR gR
women who are you? I mean, Far be it from him to deprive the hopeful
of his gifts. This is our expressions of aloneness, as well
that we try to follow the sun. We tried to follow his sunnah, we try
to do our good deeds, or we still require that his intercession be
granted to us and he doesn't turn his face away from us on the day
as has been mentioned in the Hadith, that I will turn my face
away from some people or I will try to give them I will try to
give the water from the hole from the watering place to some people
and the angels will stop them and prevent them from coming to us and
saying that they changed after the after you and then the brave the
progress of our lives and tons of space away is nothing that anybody
can do because Allah subhanho wa Taala we will have given the
promise and laws and certain discretions to put some people
into paradise who he makes his intercession for.
Far be it from him. So then he's saying that if he turns his face
away on that day that my foot is going to be slipping, but then he
expresses his hope that he says Fabi and I mean the progress of
autism is not of that character. To just let somebody go far be it
from him or for him from him to deprive them hopeful of his gifts
or that a neighbor Seeking Safety should return without being
honored by him.
And finally, the last few
years rob the watcher under Raja era monarchies in leather eco
which he served me earlier on honey me world of PR because it's
raining in LA who sovereign Mata the approval of world Yen has a
need. What is the release of the Salah, Timika image and other
nubby women have been woven sashimi.
Milan had other bottles Bernie V Husaberg. What trouble visa ha
what trouble isa have either ECB never me. And that's how he ends
it by saying, My Lord, let not my hope in you will be overthrown.
He's turning back to Allah subhanaw taala and saying, My
Lord, let not my hope a newbie, overthrown, not let my credit with
you be void of work. Don't make it useless. deal kindly with your
slave in both the worlds for when terror calls to him, his patients
is read
from him let a cloud of constant blessing rain upon the profit
forever coming down. For as long as the east wind stirs the willow
branches, and camel drivers rejoice. They Grace deeds with
song. And that's how we entered and then goes to sleep. And he
sees this dream in which the prophets of Allah is and puts his
coke on his shoulder. And when he wakes up from that sleep, he is
completely fine. He is He has recovered. And finally, as I said,
this is not an isolated incident. This is not something that you
know, we could not hope for this is not this is not something that
is only bestowed Allah Subhanallah with the others. Grace is for
everyone among knowing
for sure everybody's heard about knowing the great author of real
solid in the 40 Hadith collections and a number of other scholarly
works as well in his skateable car, which is one of the
comprehensive collections of the hours and prayers of the litanies.
He relates and unfortunately, he relates this incident. And
unfortunately, in some editions of this work that have been published
in Saudi Arabia,
they take this story out some of the editors, you know, in the
zealous pursuits of these things, if taken out without even
mentioning that something's gone, it's just like it's not there
anymore. Like you don't know you never said it. And even though we
the great Hadith scholars, I mean, the one who knew the Prophet
sallallahu earlier someone's words more than probably anybody today
who died at the age of about 50. But he wrote such scholarly works
that today in Toronto, we sit and we can talk, say his name and say
our email love, right? That's a great scholar you're talking about
he releases insulin, he says that it's related from earth to be one
of
one of the people back then he said he's ranging from rugby, that
call to journalists and in the corporate interview, some are more
widely used. And you can imagine this take yourself back to the
time when the profits of a lot of salons rolled up is not as it's
calm. It's, there's a lot of time you can actually sit there for
days. Not that you're going to just be ushered along in a
minutes, not even a minute in a few seconds. And if you if you
actually come back and they'll say you're doing so often they'll
condemn your words.
Right, it's actually really sad. They just don't let you do
anything. In fact, one somebody made Salamis and he went because
there's people moving he can understand you have to move your
when you went to the bank where there was lots of space in the
front wall, and he continued to survive from then the person said,
What are you doing well, from here or there, what's the difference?
Like, you know, get out of here type of thing. And it's really sad
that that happens in front of the rack and understand that you need
to manage the place and have the crowd moving. But if somebody is
in a while, why not let him and why condemn them like that, but in
we used to be he relates that I was sitting by the grave of the
prophets of Allah while you have that luxury is difficult nowadays,
but anyway, in that, you can still do it in the folder if you can get
him there. He says that I was sitting there for Java RBU this
there's a better way just suddenly came along. He they were always
interesting with Bedouin Arabs came along because they had
had this very unique way of expressing themselves. And people
were very entertained by that. So anyway, this Arabi comes along and
he says, he comes along and he says a salamati chaos will have
been. He addresses the role that addresses the grievances As salam
ala Rasulillah 72, La Jolla cool he put his case in front of the
board. It says, Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah. I have heard
Allah subhanho wa Taala saying in the Quran, what oh, and I will
feel for them to some job. The first step was to follow the human
Rasulullah sallallahu. Rahima is the source of Nisa that when they
come to you, after having oppressed themselves, they come to
you after having oppressed themselves.
And they seek forgiveness from Allah. And then the messenger
seeks forgiveness for them. What's that for Allah humble Rasul? ALLAH
messenger seeks forgiveness for them. Though original bah, bah bah
Rahima. Then they would find that Allah subhanho wa taala, to be the
most accepting of Toba and repentance and the Most Merciful.
This was his experience. He said that Yana Sula, this is what I've
heard. This is what I have heard Allah subhanaw taala, saying,
Welcome to Kabul, stop filming them be especially and bigger, the
lower of the answer. So I have now come from wherever I have come
seeking forgiveness for license, committed a civil court, he
committed a sin He came all the way and he's saying this and says,
I have come seeking forgiveness for my for my sin, and seeking
intercession through you. Now the opinion of the real amount of that
person or Gemma the majority of them is that if I make a Salam
here, if anybody makes a salami, or some anywhere around the world,
it's a special angels that are designated that conveyed this to
London, Boris otherwise I'm a nobody, nobody disputes that. Also
the fact that when you buy the grief of the loss of a loved one,
you simply because it's there in the MBR alive in the graves, and
we are alive in the Greeks acquainted with Gemma the bodies
are not eaten. And if the shahada which Allah subhanaw taala says in
the Quran himself that the monsters don't think that they are
dead, but they are alive and they are they are alive and well
living. So the prophets don't have any less likes than that. There
are some nowadays that actually have an issue have an issue with
that opinion, but this is the I mean, whether we like it or not,
this is the opinion of the majority of aroma. So you feel
that you that's why we stay in Santa Monica ya rasool Allah,
they're much more confidently because we know he's listening to
us right there. Right? That's the way you say you don't say, you
know, certainly Allah, Mohammed de because you're right there, he's
listening to you.
So
he's addressing the voice of Allah or your Salam. And he's saying
that I've come to stop from in Zambia, especially and we get a
lot of seeking or intercession seeking forgiveness from Allah
subhanaw taala the man Shut your phone and then this is the point
you read and believe me these poems today are written on those
posts that are between the three you know the three golden gates
the famous three golden gates where you stand and you pray salam
ala Rasulillah Mario said look on the two middle posts right about
three quarters away up if you look carefully, there is this these
points he described them the same point is inscribed there. And this
is what he said yeah, here Amen to finance bill are a abamune Bamboo
fava bean three B hyndland. Are who was second left cellfina who
may cover in underside Aquino B hill after four v Hill Judo
columns. These four lines are inscribed there. Yeah for you
Roman definite, we'll call a alto. But Baba min three be hidden the
car will not still feed out we'll be covering under Sakina. Who V
Hill for FY Hill Judah welcome. And then there's some other lines
that have been added to that which is and the sheffey already told
Joshua to end the CRT either.
And then he went away. He said this, to me is watching all of
this. He said this desert or cave and he said this and then he
walked away. Just just walked away from it to me says that I fell
asleep afterwards.
My eyes overcame me. And I fell into a slumber. And I saw the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in my dream. And he said to
me, there ought to be in half an hour, Ravi, you're over to be go
catch up with the RRB Ferber she will be under allah to Allah
Qaddafi
and give him the glad tidings of Allah subhanho wa Taala has
forgiven him.
I mean, this is related by Imam nawawi in his guitar, but of
course, I mean, it's not, you know, just any kind of narration
if I'm being lucky is related to Charbel Imani, and there's a
number of reasons about that. But as what I'm trying to prove from
here, is that we do have these experiences and you can't deny
somebody's experience. If I see the profit or loss and we might do
the promise of loss. We himself said that whoever sees me in
Israel has really seen me. Because the shape bond cannot come in my
form, she can't come in anybody else's home. But with the progress
of Allah Islam, he that Allah has made it such if you see somebody
that tells you they're the prophets of Allah is Allah, even
though they don't look like what you might think the progress of us
looks like the roadmap so that you could actually see them in the
form of a scholar in the form of somebody else. It just depends on
you know, your state, that would be the Prophet sallallahu. So I'm
speaking to you how that works. Despite the fact that he's left
this world. That's another dimension that's something else
that would require a whole you know, another seminar for but the
point is that we can't deny this experience especially with the
promise of autism. I said that I come in your dream you see me my
dream, you have seen me because she found had not been personally
meet or emulate me. Anyway, I leave it at that. Allah subhanho
wa Taala grants the intercession of His messengers of Allah Subhana
Allah subhanho wa Taala allow us to reflect on this. Allah subhanho
wa Taala allow us to express our love for Him. Allah subhanho wa
Taala don't make us of those who just express their love but don't
do anything. Allah subhana wa Economicus comprehensive Muslim,
good Muslim, increase our iman local person, Allah, Allah and
those who are talented among us, Allah subhanaw taala give them the
direction to focus their talents, on good things on virtuous things.
And may Allah subhanaw taala give us the ability to deal with the
shortcoming that we have in in the English language in the absence of
innocence of much patience, but also the love of somebody working
with the company and
our next speaker is the chef mandala
