He says another of the Adobe has shipped to karate Himley monada to
help deter Allah, Tala taka so whoo oh by the new who have been
adjusted in what Amin Holsworthy model did
they find it extremely reprehensible to have any kind of
intimate discourse with Allah subhanho wa Taala if their
clothing is dirty or soiled, or their body is soiled by some kind
of an adjuster or impurity, even if it's due to a sickness or
illness, they don't feel that they should be speaking to Allah
subhanaw taala in that state. It's about Adam, that all the money
manager they're happy to Allah just because they want to
exemplify magnify this moment of intimacy with Allah subhanaw
taala.

Angel Hekmati, la Bill hikma.
Hello Canada's Bill Hikmah law Canada of Idaho data Marula data
hook mill hikmah.
He says another of the Durban etiquette of the people of Allah
is that they abundantly praise Allah subhanahu wa Tada
when something
that troubles them, occurs
when something that pains them takes place. So they will praise
Allah subhanho wa Taala when something happens that is not very
favorable, that generally puts them in some kind of
inconvenience, they praise Allah at that time.
The reason they praise Allah subhanaw taala while the rest of
us would complain, is because they know because of their knowledge
that Allah subhanaw taala is decrees for his servant,
Allah subhanho wa Taala has decreased for His servants is
wisdom itself.
Not due to another wisdom, this is the important part that has to be
understood. Anything that Allah does for us, is not according to a
system of wisdom, an external separate system of wisdom, but it
is wisdom itself.
The reason why this is important to understand is that if Allah had
to go according to an external set of rules for what is Wisdom, then
that means he will be constrained
in a separate system, nothing constraints Allah
anything he does is wisdom itself. That is what wisdom is.
Do you understand the difference between that? So whatever Allah
does, that is wisdom itself. It is not according to any other laws of
wisdom, it is wisdom itself, because if it was due to another
set of wisdoms, then that means Allah subhana wa Tada is actions
would have been caused, would have been caused by another set of
wisdoms. And he nothing affects him, nothing influences him.
Nothing governs him, nothing controls him. He is independent,
he does as he wishes. So, he says, from this we can understand Lai
Jews are sahaja shamans have already a burden, it is not
permitted.
It is not permitted to be upset and angry upon anything that Allah
subhanaw taala does.
Because it is wisdom, because Allah is the wise one. And
anything he does his pure wisdom, so you can't get angry on anything
that Allah subhanaw taala does. If you're made to sit and wait for
six hours or 10 hours, then that's the wisdom of Allah subhanaw
taala.
There has to be something in there.
Whoever does get upset and angry for who urged him he is ignorant.
He is sick ignorant because he doesn't understand his he thinks
that he can't see the wisdom of why this has happened to him. So
that means he must be wrong. If you can't understand the wisdom of
something. And this is very perturbing. When you don't
understand the reasoning behind something. It's worse than when
you understand the reasoning behind something. If you're pained
by something, but you understand the reasons behind it. It's easier
to deal with than when you don't know the reasons
That's, that's, you know the reasons why you must take a
certain medicine which is very bitter, because it's proven to be
beneficial because of the hokum of Allah, then you'll take it even
though it's painful, a surgery or something like that, when you made
to do something that seems to be irrational, and that becomes even
more difficult to do. That's just how humans are they react to it,
in that sense.
Then he says something very, very deep. He says that what oh
cashoffer lab do Cushie for the lab they are and Abdullah, Hula,
hula phenol, Ed Sabeti. He added Bella, Phil just said the will
Maria will well it Latina Who is Allah to Allah He knows already
that he can be He, if
Allah was to reveal to the servant or if it was revealed, uncovered
for the servant, that which Allah subhanho wa Taala has prepared
for his patients on any difficulty in his body, his wealth or his
children, then he would be the one to ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to
give him more of that pain and adversity.
If he was to know what Allah has prepared, then he would say yes,
give me more of this. So that I can I can have what you have
prepared for me in lieu of this and then reward of the patients
upon this.
Another thing he says is fine Nicola work and Phil will do the
bill, rather silly law here. Anything that occurs in this world
is due to the Divine Divine Will. Everything that occurs in this
world is based on the Divine Will, Allah's Will, was sub Aleman, Leia
seehotel, Hebrew, and based on a prior knowledge, Allah is eternal
knowledge that he's had from before, which cannot be changed.
When read or be he was Jibba.
And to be satisfied with it, is necessary.
Otherwise, we're seen as complaining to Allah.
I mean, other we him lie to the owner and it won't be modeled in
ill initiated behaviors go to humble Lt. 30 li, mean,
uncommercial huduma Allah heeta Allah or Madonna Ahuja their Salah
hole Hello nice, beefy Budda Budda at our now of course, this is
another dub of the people of Allah, they do not adopt
the cure for something, they do not go behind looking for pursue
cure for something for any
sickness or illness unless it becomes very severe.
That's why all these people who get a slight headache, they run to
a paracetamol.
Get some other small thing they run to medicines, you know, it's
understandable when things get difficult, it's understandable.
But But this that's a different thing altogether. What he's saying
here is that the people of Allah de dub is that they do not even
seek out a cure for any sickness unless he gets very difficult,
what he means by difficult here, it becomes so painful, that it
actually then effects their turning to Allah.
it encroaches upon their connection with Allah subhanaw
taala they don't feel like they can worship anymore, only then do
they do it.
When they cannot have the presence of Allah subhanaw taala in their
mind anymore because it's so painful.
And he says that as long as any of them
are able to have presence to some degree with Allah subhanaw taala
and he's a bother. They don't they don't take
a cure.
I think I mentioned last time that there's a difference of opinion
among the people of knowledge as to whether a person should seek a
cure or not.
And generally,
the idea here is that it depends on your level of Dawa Quran, Allah
subhana wa Tada if your level of Tawakkol and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
to say that Allah knows the state I'm in and he wants to give me
something through this.
If your level of Tawakkol is at that level, then that's fine. But
if it's not, then seek a cure, otherwise you won't be able to
manage it.
Then he says that the other way of
pursuing a cure for something using medicine
is that they are very careful then about the knee by which they do
that.
If you are going to use medicine, you are going to seek a cure gonna
go to a hospital or a doctor, what should your intention be?
So he says that the intention they will have is that
they are trying to fulfill the wajib
of Allah subhanaw taala is right that He's given us to look after,
which is the rights of our body
Not
because because it will Hakuna Allah who will magically will
Jason because it's Allah subhanho wa Taala who is the owner
of our bodies.
And he says that the IRF the no word of Allah
only seeks a cure.
Because he knows that himself his self is the property of Allah
subhanaw taala that he has to look after he has a responsibility. He
doesn't do it for himself.
Now that's a very refined process of understanding where you put
Allah into everything. That's the whole point here you put Allah
subhanaw taala into everything.
For for con Bynum into Dawa pm and be YG be hockey, rugby, obeying
them into Dawa pm and be hockey YG NFC. There's a big difference
between the one who uses medicine who seeks a cure to fulfill the
right of Allah and the one who filled who seeks it to fulfill his
own rights for his own selfish self or may cling to her ill early
moon and it is only those who are truly knowledgeable with profound
insight that will understand this that will perceive the difference
between these things. He says an example of this is the knowledge
that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada is there is the love for pardon from
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
if they didn't know
that Allah subhanho wa Taala likes people who
want his pardon, then they wouldn't have asked him for it.
So understand this clearly.
The next adverb of this is how do they when they when they are in
this state of connection with Allah subhanaw taala when they're
praying to Him when they're doing vicar when they're meditating,
when they're having any intimate time with Allah subhanho wa Taala
he says another of the Derby's shit the to karate him lemenager
Till hug Peter Allah, Tala taka so Whoo, oh, by the new who been
adjusted in Wyoming household the model then
they find it extremely reprehensible to have any kind of
intimate discourse with Allah subhanho wa Taala if their
clothing is dirty or soiled, or their body is soiled by some kind
of an adjuster or impurity, even if it's due to a sickness or an
illness, they don't feel that they should be speaking to Allah
subhanaw taala in that state. It's about Adam that are the minimal
energetic hotkey to Allah just because they want to exemplify
magnify this moment of intimacy with Allah subhanaw taala
especially for example if they've got a problem where they are
leaking urine or they have the stomach runs.
He says that from an urge Allah Tala fi highly Takasugi budoni
author lb for her her region and other bill acaba. So anybody who
doesn't prepare for his communion his his connection with Allah
subhana wa Tada
is in this an impure state just sits there and reads this DSP or
whatever if he does it, then he is he is not fulfilling the etiquette
of the great people
that's why he says that some of the great people have some of the
great Meshech they would take some they would purchase and have some
really really
excellent refined and beautiful such such as that which means a
masala prayer mat
just so that this is to show Allah subhanaw taala that this is what
it's about that we are really respecting this connection with
you to take to buy a Masala or really expel a really nice refined
masala for that reason, just to show respect.
Now, somebody else looking at it and saying that this person is an
indulgent person he's indulging in expensive you know Sajida or a
masala but now that the reason is different. Another one is
sometimes people will come. He says the other is that if anybody
consults with them about which shape to go to and benefit from.
Generally people come I want to study this or I want this I want
to make better with somebody whatever the case is. They come
and seek assistance or counsel advice. A young Sahaba who shoe
so then they give him the proper advice. They don't deceive that
person.
They say to him, now deceive the person could be
in many different ways, you know, one is to hide the incompetence of
somebody and say, no, no, it's okay go to them. Whereas, you
know, they're not going to benefit from this person because the
person really doesn't have anything or that somebody does
have something in you mislead them away from that person because you
want them to come to you or somebody else. So, if somebody is
already with a shaker, they want everybody to come to their shame,
they speak bad about others, you very bad, very bad. That is an
extremely reprehensible habits, that some people listen you get
this cultish mentality.
So, it says, This is what it says that they adopt is if anybody asks
them about, who to take from, from the majority of the time, they
will give them proper advice, and they will not deceive them, they
will say to them, that if you want to, to follow the path, meaning if
you want to embark upon the path and go to such and such a person,
do not go to such and such a person, they're very clear about
who a person should not go to. But obviously, when they say don't go
to such and such a person, they're not going to say that in public,
lurking the Akula article called sarin that should be said in
confidence because you don't want to create facade. What you want to
do is you want to safeguard the person but at the same time you
don't want to be public about it
later well that mentality come of cetera, so that there's no harm
created by this we're going to be acting and it is the truth. We're
in luck and Alicia Meribah dilla otherwise you will be deceiving
the servants of Allah subhana wa Tada.
And he says obviously, the way to find out the truth about this is
that if that particular shape is incompetent, he doesn't have any
real knowledge of the path and that particular student has no
idea of how to discern these differences. So then you are
required
to guide somebody who writes
he says that my Sheikh Ali Al Havas, who was a chef he says that
he would never mention evil about anybody live go ahead and be sue
him. He would never mentioned the evil of anybody he would never
speak bad about anybody but despite that, he says for Kenny a
cool really as herb he cathedra he would constantly or he would he
would tell his people, numerous occasions er command he might be
shaken Fulani beware of such and such a shake, despite the fact
that he was just not not
inclined to speaking evil about anybody he was very particular
about warning against certain show you for in Julissa for in Nigeria
Sabine FC human a lady If you shave him. And that time they will
probably a lot more Sufis around and people around who would try to
have these gatherings and things like that, and they would just get
it just to get some
respect and honor and you know, get a piece of the pie as it is,
you know, because that was the time when everybody was going
around. So that's why he would say that he's just gone and sat by
himself. He's appointed himself to that position without without
anybody else authorizing them. So he's a charlatan in essence for
your salary be Esmee. While you can NanHu in this case, he would
actually clearly say his name, he would not beat around the bush, he
will not give you any ambiguous terms about it. Knows handle
Muslimeen This is out of counsel and nasiha for the believers. And
then he would you also say manlam aged theosophy, he che on the side
you can now see Hanby Rob be your OB for high school Mohabbat Allahu
Allah, Allah, Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Well,
her similarities were regular Bill iqama Phyllis Babine it interfere
in the rebirth whenever enough See, he is said that anybody who
cannot find
in his time, a truthful
a truthful shake of goodwill, of good Naseeha that can nurture him,
then just the love of Allah is sufficient for this person, and
the love of his messenger and to keep a good belief and to be
satisfied.
To be to be satisfied with
remaining in the world of means within benefit to with the
intention to benefit others and to benefit himself. So we should just
try best himself. And then he said that if you do manage to gather
together and sit together and link up with one of the machines of
this time, who've just sat themselves who don't really have
the qualities that are required, and they're constantly slipping,
then
do not go and promote them to the position of quote via which means
don't make them the Kutub of the time.
Time meaning the highest level of the person have the time and say
this is my shake. And he's like this. And he's like that. Just
say, see the Fallen don't go beyond that.
I obviously speaking about his time, and a lot of this was very
prominent, and it was happening was very proliferated at that
time. And then he says that,
after that, these are some of the hands that you see, when you get
the cultish mentality that surrounds these things sometimes,
right? It says And beware, after you have linked up with the shake,
that you turn your face away from your brothers, your normal
friends, and you turn your ears away, and you turn on your heels
away from them, but be with them as you were before, before you
linked up with the sheriff. Whoever does this with his
friends, then
that which is of no benefit will occur between them, meaning Ranko
enmity,
adversity, all of these things will come about hatred will come
about then it will become as though they're on another Dean and
you're on another Dean.
It will become as though they've got a different religion, you've
got a different religion.
He says, Look, when sometimes when you link up with a sheikh first
and you make your first Stober, they do tell you generally they do
advise you that you should
make Toba also, from affiliating with your friends too much.
The only reason they do that is because if all the harm in your
life, and the bad habits is coming from your friends, and you want to
come away from that, then that's why they tell you that.
But at the same time, that compassion to help and assist
others should be there. You shouldn't start becoming a
snobbery should not be it should not ensue from this, where you
feel that you're superior to everybody else right now. Yes, if
you've got bad friends, then you need to come away from them. So
that you don't, a person does not continue the bad habits. And that
is actually from a hadith, the Hadith of the famous person who
killed 99 people. And then he went to that worshiper who told him,
there's no Toba for you. So you killed him as well. Then when he
went to the Alamo, did the ILM say, move from your area to the
area of the pious, so that you can have better environments? So he
did tell him to cut away from the evil people of his area, because
they're the ones who created that environment and the atmosphere in
which sins were easy to commit? So move away from that. So yes, in
that sense, it's fine. But if your friends are not harmful, and then
you become different, and then suddenly you start looking down
upon them, and this is not just to do with spirituality, this is to
do with all of these other manage and sectarian issues that we have
nowadays. Somebody takes on you know, another man hutch, you know,
whether he becomes a Salafi or whatever it is that he becomes and
then he starts looking down upon everybody else saying that you
guys don't have any reason you do this. And then the same people,
sometimes his own parents and family become worse than Kuffar in
their sights
in a western Kuffar in their sight, that's the way they make
it.
They feel that they must act aggressively towards these people
just for that reason.
If you're getting closer to Allah subhanaw taala it's it shouldn't
make you
vile against other Muslimeen.
Maybe they are ignorant individuals, but that doesn't make
them go far in your sights.
The next of the attribute the next of the etiquette that he speaks
about for the people of Allah is in the morning either at OSHA
middlemen here UK pharma and the money either for a term sheet or
mineral more arts.
He says another of the etiquette is that they will be more
sorrowful, regretful and remorseful. If they do a
prohibited act. Then if they were, then they're remorse over missing
a further act. So somebody missed the font prayer, for example, but
somebody committed a haram
committing the Haram they would feel more remorseful over that
than missing the fourth act.
The reason for it is quite simple in the sense that this is an
inaction where they didn't pray,
you know, you could be forgiven for that. Whereas when it comes to
committing an evil act, then that is a commissioning a new act. It's
initiation of a new act that is seemingly worse for them. That's
why they say that the Macomb of CDP is more complete and lofty
than the MACOM of Shahada. So these are terminologies what does
it
mean knock offs and the clear, according to them, is avoiding
sins. If you can avoid sins, then you have the maqam of acidic.
Right because you're truthful in your abstinence. The Maqam of
shahada is that you are constantly adherent to the, the commands and
the follow up.
So, my column of CDP the station of Siddiqui of truthfulness, and
shahada means of you can say, shahada means a witnessing the
terminology may not you know, you may not see the connection between
that terminology what it means that one is about the person who's
able to avoid sins and the other one, you're supposed to do all the
variety we're supposed to have both of these states but he said
that the Cydia clear is higher. Another of the other is that
lifestyle he learned about reality will Hello What is Talabani? How
soon will we lie?
This is a bit more of a kind of a complicated one he says that they
do not engage themselves in these severe exercises and isolation.
You can say
seclusion
so that they can get Wilaya very soon they can get friendship with
Allah subhanaw taala soon so they're not going to stay in
seclusion or do these really exerting exercises to get close to
to get the MACOM of Wilaya
sounds kind of confusing why not? You know, so then he gives a whole
reason for this. He says that my shake ideal How was used to say
that hook Omaha would like the sheer fact that ENIAC was on
ladder and muddy the middle jewelry reality. Do you say your
earliest zero Olia hook command era era Sheraton OMO shedule ratar
o move ALA and Tata who are in urban
Oh shuttle
jamais, you'll see, you'll see roto Farhan, whether it is your
hula hoop,
he says the reason for it is that all of these shapes that try to
get people to pledge they get their moody Dean to pledge that
they will remain hungry this much and they will do this much
exertion. So that they become earlier. This is a commanding it
is it is like the person it is a command. It is like the command of
a person who wants to make the you know the
what is this plant called the cactus plant into a
grape vine.
How you going to turn a cactus plant into a grape vine is is
basically trying to do that. We're trying to make this other fruit
into an apple is not going to it's different realities is just not
going to happen. Just before that, you know we
spoke about the CDP at the MACOM of CDP and the MACOM of
shahada,
one of my sheiks Schiff Dibble calles, from Damascus.
He gave an example of this.
You know, you have
just mentioned the verse, Allah Hina UniFi, hakuna Ahmad on visa
Barilla. Those people who spend their wealth in the path of Allah,
are they doing a good deed or a bad deed? They're doing a good
deed. Is it a deed or an inaction?
It's a deed right?
Some allow you to be your own Emma and furcal men know whether other
after they've spent on the poor or whatever, they don't follow it up
by reminding them look I spent on you, or by trying to inconvenience
and harm them afterwards by trying to take advantage of it. They
don't follow it up with that. So you got two things happening here.
One is the person spends, then the person doesn't follow it up with
this harmful acts. The whole managerial remainder of being for
them, they will be kept the reward, they will get their reward
by the Lord.
According to the new facility in Allama, Anna Sophie, in his
Tafseer he mentioned that Torquil manual, other Hiram enough said In
fact,
you know, one is the spending, then one is not following it up
with the reminders. Which of the two do you think is superior?
Obviously, one has to come after the other, but which is superior
if you were to look at them independently.
The second one is superior, even though the second one needs the
first one to, you know, to work out anyway. So that's why Mr.
Nassif, he says that he says that to avoid reminding and following
it up with harm is superior than the spending itself.
Just as being Musacchio and steadfast on him.
On is actually superior to entering Islam in the first place.
Generally a thriller entering into Islam Yes, it is a great thing.
But then to stay is that with st karma is very, very difficult. So
it's a superior state.
That's why take a deep callus Have you the hula
Rahim Allah used to say with regards to disease or if you
receive the guest just before the whole time began, he arrived at 12
o'clock or whatever the case is just people the whole time. So you
know, he hasn't prayed though. There's no love at the beginning
of the whole time anyway.
So came in for the before the hard time. And then after that,
you fed him. You fed him straightaway. And then after that,
you gave him a bedroom where he could take a bit of a rest. Okay,
Lulu siesta.
And he hadn't prayed yet. Then you're trying to wake him up for
solids. But he's delaying. He's tired. Whatever, I'll wake up,
I'll wake up, I'll wake up. And eventually he does get up. And he
does, we'll do and as he does, we'll do Astra, the dawn of Assar
goes.
Right.
So this is IV in winter, or it's a Shafi example. All right. So
anyway, the Athan goes now what happens, that means he's missed
his daughter, right?
So what are you going to do with him right now? Like, what's your
approach to him?
How would you think about this person?
This is one person, right? What would your response? How would you
react to this person? You may not say anything to him, but how would
you feel about this person? Right? But then you will understand this
more when you contrast this with another situation. You have
another guest who is completely fine. He's healthy, no problems
whatsoever. He's staying with you in Ramadan, and he's eating in
Ramadan. He's not fasting. He's not a massager by the way, right?
Because you're gonna go surfing, you don't have to fast. He's not
almost afraid to just come from the next town close by. And he's
not fasting. He's eating in Ramadan, in front of everybody. So
there's this guest of yours who's eating in front of everybody. But
there's this other guest of yours. Who came, you know, at this time
he ate, he was very tired. So he went to sleep, and then he
couldn't wake up. He kept saying, I'll wake up, I'll wake up and
then he did wake up, but then he missed the salah. Can you see the
difference now? Which one appears to be worse?
The one eating in Ramadan, or the one who missed his salad here?
Yes, because he seems to be quite.
He's violating it in a state he's he's he's he's doing a violation,
it seems to be a greater violation than the one who you can see that
there is some weakness associated in his situation, there's an
excuse associated, he wanted to get up and he couldn't, because
sometimes when you're asleep in the afternoon, especially at those
weird times, you just can't get up.
Because they say that if you sleep enough to run for 20 minutes,
maximum 30 minutes, you should be able to get up and not be groggy.
That's the proper power nap. Though, if you do sleep for one
hour, it's more healthy, but you do feel groggy, and then it does
feel like a whole night's sleep. And then you do need to kind of
really wake up you need your coffees and teas and whatever the
case is.
So that's the kind of situation that he's he's speaking about here
as well trying to give an example of the situation of the CDP and
the Shahada.
One is abstaining from a violation.
Right. The other one is poor guy, you know, just couldn't pray. And
the other one is who's committing a sin.
Going back to the next point, which was those sheiks who try to
make this, the Marines do so much efforts. exertions and hunger,
keep them hungry and so on.
He says that there was a person who went into seclusion started
doing abundant dhikr and remaining hungry for long periods, just
because he wanted Wilaya he wanted to gain friendship with Allah
subhanaw taala so the sheikh went to him and he said to him, yeah,
Mubarak will have
a person who's of
BLESS its state, come out of the seclusion
whatever has been written for you and divided distributed for you
written for you, you're gonna get it, you will necessarily attain
it.
And you have to remember that there are two levels of Wilaya
Allah Wilayat al hacer un alveoli to Loma and we lie to hasa is a
very elect and a very special state of Rila. That you cannot get
by trying yourself. That is just given by Allah subhanaw taala
that is bestowed by Allah and who he wants
All right.
It says Alexa lottery convert here on top global Minho. There is no
specific clear path by which you can seek it. In the mahiya, aka
that hotel Abdallah, you highlight income, it is just something that
will occur to a servant. Whatever state he's in for the photog globe
wine who will Ian Hart is on Strymon Lam Hill bustle and he
will become a weenie of Allah faster than the blink of an eye.
While he Mr. Tibetan masu sadly, a qualm in Mexico scene are added in
Mexico scene. And that is only that is a very specific status for
a specific group of people have a very specific number.
So that one is not something you can pursue,
however.
And he's and then he goes into a lot more depth, which I think will
be quite, maybe maybe confusing for a lot of us which I'm going to
pass over he says, he says even this number, it's according to the
levels not according to the people. What that means is that
sometimes in one status, you may have two people or four people or
more, and sometimes you may have in two status just one person. As
I said that's kind of confusing, but what are the Hakuna Rajala and
eventzilla to Roger Wahid and sometimes one person will be
similar have similar state to two individuals. As far as the Wilayat
Willa ama the general friendship with Allah subhanaw taala. The
general status of Wilaya that you can gain by deeds by by efforts
just as Allah says there's a hadith al Cuzzi sahih Hadith
related by mumble hottie from Abu Huraira, the Allah one month it's
the prophets Allah Islam said.
Ly as Anwar Abdi the horrible lamb Noah Phil had the Hebrew who had
the or Hebrew who a person then becomes closer to me doing the
novel until I begin to love him. That's when I alarm.
The hadith in full basically says that a person has to fulfill the
thyroids first, to get even close, then to get closer and closer, you
will get closer and closer by doing no awful acts. By doing no I
feel acts until I begin to love Him. And when I begin to love him,
Allah says, I become the hands by which he holds something the feet
by which he walks which means that he is then divinely protected
protected in general,
then he will do less sins, He will make less mistakes and he will
generally tend to be tuned to piety.
So he says that this love for Allah subhanho wa Taala for the
servant
generally comes after doing a lot of effort, the no awful efforts.
So then anyway, he said to this person who was in seclusion is so
come out. Oh, my brother from the seclusion make Toba to Allah
subhanho wa taala. And
instead, pursue the status of Siddiqui and shahada by your
deeds.
Not the status of Wilaya. The person refused. Is is not that's
what I want. You get some people, they just don't listen.
They want a specific place, they have too much zeal for a
particular thing. They don't listen to people who are more
knowledgeable. He refused format, a birthday domain.
He died after two days, he couldn't handle it. The shake knew
he couldn't handle it. He was going into realms that were beyond
his status, staying hungry, and things like this. Now, I remember
once you know, while I was at madrasa, there was a student in my
class in my room, actually. And he started to go and do the vicar
that he was not given to do La ilaha illallah in a particular
way, he decided he saw the older students do it. So he wanted to go
and do it. So he would go into an empty class, dark, a dark, empty
class, and he started doing it. And after two days or something
like that, he saw something, and he just stopped. Then he ran away.
It was just too much he can't handle it. His heart is not
prepared for that yet. This is generally what happens when you've
seen weird things and all that kind of stuff. You're doing
something that you're not. You see if you do Durood Sharif salatu
salam, and all day, nothing's gonna happen to you. Right?
There's nothing that's going to happen to you. But when you start
taking the name of Allah subhanaw taala in these different ways,
right? Sometimes it can. It is it is quite strong. So that's why he
says women, Columbia's say end of the dean. He says another of my
teachers after routine, he says, is basically saying that there's
people who spend some time
doing certain worships.
And he's comparing them with those who go into seclusion for long
periods.
Go into seclusion for long periods. He says the reason is
that those people who go into seclusion for long periods and
they are kind of you can say, it's a very Christian kind of thing.
That's what a Christian is they they flogged themselves
flagellation, if they do something wrong, and they have all of these
really weird ways. That's why Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Quran that we don't want her Michoud in the deal, that was
something that they innovated in the past religion. It's not
something that Muslims do. We want to be part and parcel of the
society and worship Allah subhanaw taala and avoid the harms.
Right? There are certain cases when you can go into seclusion,
like in a teacup and take off as well. You are with other meaning.
It's not complete her matured over. Okay, so then he says that
what happens with these people is that they put on themselves all of
these really strenuous conditions, like I'm going to stay hungry for
this long. I'm not going to speak to anybody, I'm going to remain
awake, and all these other things. You know what all of these things
do? They mean other efforts of Dunham, it creates weakness in
their bodies, worker throat we hit the high EULA tone, and then the
imaginations just go all over the place.
Right. So it creates weakness in their physical body and also in
their minds. Well, first let that behavior occur.
And they occur it also become corrupt, because shaytan will take
advantage of this case the person will he know the Harada, who
Muharram in annuity will Vilma because they may see light, they
may see darkness, they may see these strange things, and anybody
who does these, we think they will see something.
Anybody try it, stay in a room or two for two days, and eat less.
And don't speak and deprive yourself on something and you will
start seeing things as well. any Tom, Dick and Harry will probably
see something. Now it depends on how you interpret that where it's
coming from. You understand, because there are many realities
out there that we can't see they're there all the time, we
can't see them. But when we change the state we're in when we stay
hungry a bit, we're able to tap into different kinds of
wavelengths you can say. So things become revealed to us happens to
anybody. But they would just think that just because they're doing a
bit of liquor, they they are starting to see something very
important. So he says they will see Minnesota and hasna, Wilma
hula, they will see maybe some really beautiful forms, or they'll
visualize some really beautiful forms. So they may see something
very terrifying, mean killer. I mean, we're here in Malaysia, they
may see dogs and they may see dogs or snakes or whatever the case is
Mima who are coming and Futaba al insaan. All of these things come
from the human being all of these things are in our subconscious. He
says all of these things are within the human psyche for inner
Jessa, The Who, who are Nusa al Jami and pneumophila. Let me know
when we were swiftly. The reason is that any human being, they are
basically just the model of the entire world. So within us, we
have our rivers within us, we have our trees, the hair, and so on. So
we're just a reflection of the world. And everything that's
around, these things are in our subconscious. So all we're doing
is we're revealing these things. And we start taking these things
as some kind of special status, whereas it would happen to
anybody.
That's why he's saying that these things are generally harmful to do
it like this in these extreme states, unless it's a very
particular way, shown by a sheikh in a particular way. This is what
he's trying to say, avoid doing this on your own like this. Or
even under the guidance of some corrupt he would do that to you.
And then he says
that, be careful and understand it shouldn't be hidden. That what we
mentioning about the reprehensibility of such
seclusion. It's only this reprehensibility is for the person
who wants from his Hello, some dunya we benefits.
As for the one who wants to just keep a clear, clear, dealing with
Allah subhanho wa Taala then there's nothing wrong with that,
which is what Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam has told us to
do in the sense that if you feel that, you you know, you're you
have to stay away from people for a few days, or something like
that, just because you know, there's just a lot of bad air
right now. You know, then that is fine. That's for the dean. But if
it's to gain some kind of dunya II aspect, then that's a problem. So
one of the poet's he said
that what does one neck adjustment so he you don't Wi Fi can toggle
animal Akamaru you just think that you're a small body, but there's
an entire world that has been rolled into you. That's the human
being
It is a very comprehensive being shakable hacer una Sheltie Rahim
Allah He said something very interesting. I found this to be
extremely profound. It is a gauge to find the right kind of teacher.
He said mandalika Allah duniya for Cordova Chaka, if you're looking
for Deen from somebody, but he is in, he is indicating to you that
dunya meaning what you're getting from him is the dunya then He has
deceived you or mandalika Allah Hamel for a buck. If somebody is
telling you to do this deed and that deed, then he's just tiring
you out,
do this much pray this much, whatever, then he is tiring you
out. If you just heard it until here, then it would be very wrong.
Now here the last part, and he says woman De Luca, Allah Allah
for Canossa, Huck, and anybody who
takes you to Allah, then he is truly your wellwisher.
Now, in that case, he may tell you to do certain deeds. But if it's
just deeds, these deeds are dunya dunya dunya, and you're not really
getting Allah subhanaw taala then there's a problem.
This is of course, if the seeker also is exerting himself properly.
If the seeker doesn't want to exert himself, the shake is
perfect, and nothing's gonna happen either.
So it has to work both ways.
Inshallah, we've got
two pages left, about a few more advices few more, add up,
Inshallah, that we will complete next time.
May Allah subhanho wa taala. Grant us the benefit of this, and may
Allah subhanaw taala grant us the refined understanding that our
annual hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen.
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 deen 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 there, 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 be, you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well as Aquila harem Salam aleikum wa
rahmatullah wa barakato.
