00:00:30 --> 00:00:33

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says in the Quran, whoever Allah subhanaw

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

taala doesn't designate any light for them, they have no source of

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

light, they have no light, they have no source of light. Wherever

00:00:41 --> 00:00:45

Allah subhanaw taala doesn't choose for his light to give to

00:00:45 --> 00:00:50

his special light. Then for him, there is no light. Allah subhanaw

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

taala has various different forms of light, this whole universe is

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56

full of light. That's where Allah subhanho wa Taala says another

00:00:56 --> 00:01:00

verse in the Quran, Allah Who knows somehow it without one of

00:01:00 --> 00:01:04

the comment one of the series explain that as Allah whom we know

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

we are somehow it will alter Allah is the Light of the heavens and

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

earth. And thus it means that he is the illuminator of the heavens

00:01:11 --> 00:01:15

and earth, we have light, we deal with light in various different

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

ways. One is we deal with our physical light, if there wasn't

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

light today, then we wouldn't be able to see. So in the daytime,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

the sun is what provides us with light in the nighttime, it's the

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

moon that provides us with light and then we have many forms of

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

artificial lighting, as well. All of that is one form of light,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

which is universal to every creature on this earth, it is

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

something that is common to every creature on this earth. And

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

clearly that is that can also

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45

apply in this case it is had this verse can also apply generally in

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

that case as well, we have Allah subhanaw taala doesn't want to

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

give the light of this earth to you will not bring them into

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

existence. So thus they will have no light they will have no

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

existence in that sense. existence in a form is a kind of a light, in

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01

that sense in the broad meaning of it. However, here what this is

00:02:01 --> 00:02:04

speaking about is the light that is needed in the hereafter. As

00:02:04 --> 00:02:07

mentioned in Surah Al Hadith Surah Al Hadi discusses this in great

00:02:07 --> 00:02:09

detail, the

00:02:11 --> 00:02:14

The Clash or rather the kind of discussion that will take place

00:02:14 --> 00:02:19

between the Muslims and the disbelievers. And how it says that

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

between between the two a door will be placed, a barrier will be

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

placed. And there'll be light for the believers in no light to the

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

hereafter because in the Hereafter, the light will only be

00:02:31 --> 00:02:35

specifically provided for the believers and not for the

00:02:35 --> 00:02:38

disbelievers in this world. It's for everyone to benefit from

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

whether a person blessings Allah subhanaw taala or not, but in the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

hereafter it will only be for the believers. And that's why they

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

will say the disbelievers Nocta because we know they come you know

00:02:50 --> 00:02:54

let us take some light from you walk with you take some light with

00:02:54 --> 00:03:00

you. Peter Ruggiero water filter mizunara No no no you guys go

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18

a wall and fedora Babina be sued in what's after that

00:03:20 --> 00:03:25

lubob So, with the door, so this will be the case in the hereafter.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

So now how do we attain that light that light has to be attained

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

through another light that's given in this world which is the light

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

of Eman.

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

The light of iman is which which will be reflected in the

00:03:38 --> 00:03:42

hereafter. So a person with a man in this world will have some light

00:03:42 --> 00:03:46

in the hereafter. But everybody who is a believer with iman will

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

have different forms of light in the hereafter. So there's an

00:03:50 --> 00:03:53

additional light which is given in this world which is of Taqwa

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

that's also an additional light. Because essentially what does what

00:03:56 --> 00:04:01

is the essential folk function of light in this world, it allows us

00:04:01 --> 00:04:07

to see the distinctions between things. If everything was bright,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:10

with no darkness whatsoever, if everything was darkness, without

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

any brightness, you couldn't see contrast between things,

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

everything would seem the same, you couldn't make up things. So

00:04:17 --> 00:04:22

what light does in its particular ways is that allows us to see the

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

right from the wrong truth from falsehood. So in that sense,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:30

dukkha is an additional light because it gives a better

00:04:30 --> 00:04:36

penetrating insight into and that works with the heart to help us

00:04:36 --> 00:04:42

avoid things or obligates us to do certain things. That's why beyond

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Iman and Taqwa has to be inculcated, which is the

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

additional light that has to be inculcated and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

and then beyond that is the light of Wilayat it's it gets her which

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

is for the special. Then there's the light of Prophethood which is

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

very, very special.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:05

reaches unattainable for the common folk like us. So

00:05:07 --> 00:05:11

based on that idea now, if Nautilus says that how can a heart

00:05:11 --> 00:05:17

to gain light? How can it be illuminated when the forms of

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

beings have created beings are reflected of its mirrors.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:28

So the heart is like a mirror, our heart is influenced by many things

00:05:28 --> 00:05:30

around us, our heart goes out to things.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:36

Our heart is emotional, our heart is very versatile, it's a very

00:05:36 --> 00:05:42

complex piece of a very complex organ that has both a biological

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

aspect to it and a spiritual aspect to it. So, we are

00:05:46 --> 00:05:50

influenced and effected by various different things and environment

00:05:50 --> 00:05:55

is an extremely powerful, extremely power, we are products

00:05:55 --> 00:05:58

of our environment, generally speaking, very few people can

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

resist environment and they will be affected by somebody or the

00:06:02 --> 00:06:05

other. So it takes on many reflections depending on what kind

00:06:05 --> 00:06:09

of feed it has had. So this is how can a heart become illuminated

00:06:09 --> 00:06:14

when the forms of other than Allah subhanaw taala, of being of

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

creative beings of any being whatsoever except Allah is mine,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:22

which is reflected of its heart. What we mean by that is the forms

00:06:22 --> 00:06:23

of wealth.

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

There's the pictures of wealth in our heart, just look going after

00:06:28 --> 00:06:34

wealth as the primary focus of our life, haram wealth. For men, it's

00:06:34 --> 00:06:40

women, many, generally speaking, there's many, many other things

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

that take over our heart and become the main focus of our life.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:49

So how can it be illuminated by the light of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

If that's the case, see, when you have to plate something,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:58

right, when you have to plate something, or watch a bowl or

00:06:58 --> 00:07:01

anything of that nature, in these days, we don't really go to get

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

anything plated, but in the previous days, they would get

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

their pots homepods plated once in a while, because it would give

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

them a nice shine, you could reuse them in nowadays, it's the days of

00:07:12 --> 00:07:17

disposable disposables where something becomes slightly

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

tarnished, or whatever we get rid of when you buy a new one. And we

00:07:20 --> 00:07:21

create a lot of

00:07:22 --> 00:07:28

we create a lot of would you call it access in the world that is not

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

being used, but before people use them for decades sometimes. So

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

they would get things plated, not to plate anything, it has to be

00:07:36 --> 00:07:42

completely an entirely clean. Otherwise the plating because

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

especially silver plating, gold plating, brass plating, whatever

00:07:46 --> 00:07:51

else they do, it's very fine. It's a very fine coat. And it won't

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

tolerate even a single, you know, speck of something so it has to be

00:07:56 --> 00:08:00

completely clean. So that's why one of the examples provided is to

00:08:00 --> 00:08:04

play something one needs to polish the pot first. So the plating is

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

the knower of Allah subhanaw taala is the special attention from

00:08:08 --> 00:08:12

Allah subhanaw taala. But to get that in our hearts, the hearts

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

gonna have to be cleansed first.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

Luckily, che in Sakala tune, as the Hadith mentions was Sakala to

00:08:20 --> 00:08:25

Kulu Vivek Rula, for everything there's a Polish Sakala tun is the

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

Polish plating comes after that. So when is the Polish something

00:08:30 --> 00:08:36

first to even out the surface, remove any dirt, remove any, any

00:08:36 --> 00:08:42

unevenness. So that's Sakala the Sakala of the color of the huts is

00:08:42 --> 00:08:45

the Dhikr of Allah subhanaw taala. So by doing abundant vicar of

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

Allah subhanaw taala, we polish our hearts, then we get the light

00:08:49 --> 00:08:49

that comes in there.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

If you want to simply even pour water or milk into a pot, you're

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

going to look at that glass verse. That pot first and you see any

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

specks in there. You know, the reason you're not going to pour

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

the milk in there is because it's going to pollute it.

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

So Allah subhanaw taala is nobody's available to everybody.

00:09:13 --> 00:09:18

But the reason we don't attract it is because of an unpolished heart.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

We all want to gain the knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala become

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

Olia Allah subhanaw taala without stopping our sins without working

00:09:26 --> 00:09:32

hard. That's the easy way. We think it's the easy way. So we

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

want to benefit from the illumination. But we weren't going

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

to work hard enough to do the Dhikr of Allah subhanaw taala

00:09:40 --> 00:09:42

whereas Allah subhanaw taala says Masha Allah, Allah Allah Raji,

00:09:42 --> 00:09:44

mental benefi JioFi.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:50

Allah hasn't placed two hearts for anybody is one hot, you have to

00:09:50 --> 00:09:55

decide who you want to give it to who you want to make it for. And

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

that's when people have worked on it. There was one of the the main

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

In hola hola and students of Monash every time he was a poet,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:10

his name was * Ahmed zoob. He was a poet. He's the one who, in

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

the article used to go around with a boat on him saying Carmouche

00:10:13 --> 00:10:18

Silence, silence. Because he was seems like a very interesting

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

character. So people would like to come to speak to him. So he had to

00:10:21 --> 00:10:25

put the board up to tell people I can't speak to you. Right? Because

00:10:25 --> 00:10:27

he was a very interesting character.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:33

Very good idea. So anyway, he, upon working on himself, finally

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

he made up a poem, he says, How determined not bill seroxat

00:10:36 --> 00:10:42

hoagie, up to Agia, up to Hello, Toby, which means, now every

00:10:42 --> 00:10:47

desire from the heart has departed. Now you can come in,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

because now there's solitude. Essentially, he's underscoring a

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

very important point here, which is that the real illumination from

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

Allah subhanaw taala, the real light that we want that the

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

additional level of it is not going to come until the heart is

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

polished.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

And that's why at this, he said this and monitor it and he was so

00:11:08 --> 00:11:11

satisfied with with this podium, he was so excited about the point,

00:11:11 --> 00:11:14

he said that if I had 100,000 rupees at the time, which is a lot

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

of money at that time, today, 100,000 rupees is 100 pound. But

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

in those days, it was a lot more, you know, for people to aces, I

00:11:24 --> 00:11:27

would have given him that gift for making this poem, because it was

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

tradition to give poets a gift, if they came up with some because

00:11:31 --> 00:11:35

poems are very effective. They take your heart, it's very

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

emotional kind of thing.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

So we're doing thicker, at least we're trying to do some thicker.

00:11:42 --> 00:11:46

But then we've got all these associations in the heart. So

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

until they're not cut, this thicker isn't going to have the

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

same kind of because we're trying to punish. Sorry, we're trying to

00:11:51 --> 00:11:55

illuminate our hearts plate our hearts with this nice gold sheen

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

from Allah subhanaw taala. But we're not polishing our heart

00:11:58 --> 00:12:02

enough to allow that sheen to stick. So it comes on, and then it

00:12:02 --> 00:12:06

disappears. It comes on and it just becomes off. Because if

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

somebody did plate something that was dirty, it would just come up

00:12:08 --> 00:12:11

because he was be uneven and it would become chipped, and then it

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

would just be removed. Equally che in Sakala tune was a Kyla to

00:12:15 --> 00:12:19

Karoubi Victrola, that has to happen first that has to happen.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:24

Another thing is that if we sit by the window, and this apartment is

00:12:24 --> 00:12:28

a very good example of this, because we have so much movement

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

outside, there's a lot of dust that's stirred up, you can't see

00:12:32 --> 00:12:35

much of it, you can only see it when it settles, you can't really

00:12:35 --> 00:12:38

see it coming in unless it's a lot. We don't live in the desert.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

We don't live in Africa, we don't live in these places where the

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

dust is visible. But we have a lot of invisible dust that becomes

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

visible once it settles. So every few weeks or a month or something

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

like that, there's going to be Dustin you're going to have to

00:12:51 --> 00:12:57

clean it. So now, likewise, in our heart, there is dust that is

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

coming in, we don't notice much of this stuff, just like in this

00:13:00 --> 00:13:04

place, we can't notice much of this dirt. There's always dust

00:13:04 --> 00:13:07

everywhere. But we can't notice much of it coming in. There are

00:13:07 --> 00:13:12

four things from which dust comes on to the heart, essentially

00:13:12 --> 00:13:16

translating as because eventually dust becomes dirt, you have enough

00:13:16 --> 00:13:20

of it, it becomes dirt, it becomes thick, especially when you don't

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

clean it enough, it's going to become very difficult to remove,

00:13:22 --> 00:13:27

you're going to have to you need a spray or something. So there are

00:13:27 --> 00:13:32

four things from which the HUD gathers dust for inlets to it. One

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

is the ice, which is probably the biggest challenge for men,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

especially the eyes is probably one of the biggest challenges

00:13:39 --> 00:13:44

because we get a lot of dirt that way. Huge amounts of dirt is

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

deposit. A huge amounts of dirt are deposited on our hearts day in

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

and day out.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:57

That's why the benefit of sitting in Attica for 10 days is that you,

00:13:57 --> 00:14:00

we are able to abstain from that.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:06

In fact, aitikaf is even more powerful than hygiene that regard

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

because in hajj, there are people doing strange things, because you

00:14:11 --> 00:14:12

got men and women in that time.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:20

So this is one method, which is at takeoff and a retreat, where we

00:14:20 --> 00:14:23

protect ourselves for 10 days. And that's why we have that much more

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

internal acceptance of our doors as well.

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

And all of these other additional benefits. Another one is the is by

00:14:30 --> 00:14:34

listening to the wrong listen to wrong. Not only is the tongue by

00:14:34 --> 00:14:41

speaking wrong things, this also is a method of bringing dust in

00:14:41 --> 00:14:45

our heart. And number four, which is another big challenge the thing

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

is the thoughts because clearly, the eyes will only have that

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

problem because of thoughts that will go with it. The thought

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

generally goes to the tongue ears in the eyes. It's probably the

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

basis of all of these things.

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

Men generally have

00:15:00 --> 00:15:02

problem as said with the eyes while women have generally a

00:15:02 --> 00:15:05

problem with the thoughts, they're very emotional women are more

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

emotional than men. So they process a lot of information

00:15:08 --> 00:15:13

inside. They ruminate over too many things. They fuss over too

00:15:13 --> 00:15:16

many things inside have a lot of suspicion in that regard.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:22

It's just the nature. Some women may not have it, some men may not

00:15:22 --> 00:15:23

have this problem.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:29

But the majority, as the Djinns as a genus, as a category have this

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

problem in general.

00:15:31 --> 00:15:38

So these four doors are inlets, vents have to be closed.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

So that the dust dirt is caught outside and doesn't settle inside,

00:15:43 --> 00:15:44

it doesn't come inside.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:53

And the the main thing is that the the root of all inner diseases of

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

the Umrah Dooku lube,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

which means the diseases of the huts that Shimon was that he

00:15:59 --> 00:16:04

speaks about pretty much in every book of his on the subject, the

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

roots of the inner diseases is to have have the heart attached to

00:16:08 --> 00:16:08

something

00:16:11 --> 00:16:14

once it's attached to something is going to gather dust from that

00:16:15 --> 00:16:17

because there's going to be a residue.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

You clean the tires in something as simple as the tires of your

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

car. Within a few weeks, there'll be black, they'll have blackness

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

as well. Because of the the throwback from the brakes

00:16:32 --> 00:16:35

is just the way the dunya works in generally everything you attract

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

the dust yourself, which is outside your work, you're gonna

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

get dirty, you know whether that be from internal sweat or from

00:16:43 --> 00:16:43

outside

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

so the heart also gains that kind of dirt. That's why Allah subhanaw

00:16:52 --> 00:16:56

taala says in the Quran, Allah Allah He Dino Harless.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

Allah Allah Allah hid Dino Harless for Allah subhanho wa Taala is

00:17:02 --> 00:17:07

only the pure Diem, that's really only what he's going to accept

00:17:07 --> 00:17:12

accepts, which is unpolluted, dirt free.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:19

That's what's important. So, based on our exposure to our dirt, we

00:17:19 --> 00:17:20

should match our vicar

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

if we're doing a cleansing,

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

for example, you probably noticed in the masjid down there in

00:17:30 --> 00:17:36

Attica, that because of such a huge amount of footfall movement,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:40

and everything they used to clean the masjid once a day, the modern

00:17:40 --> 00:17:44

poor guy of the Muslim would sweep it by the next day, I felt that

00:17:45 --> 00:17:48

they needed to clean at least twice or thrice a day, for it to

00:17:48 --> 00:17:52

really maintain its cleanliness, because there's just too much

00:17:52 --> 00:17:52

activity.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:59

Our flat is outside the common ways, clean once a week. It's

00:17:59 --> 00:18:01

okay, it's better not cleaning it at all.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

But

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

things cleaned on a Monday, right? By Friday or something, it needs

00:18:09 --> 00:18:12

to be cleaned at least two times a week for it to maintain some

00:18:12 --> 00:18:13

decent

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

level of cleanliness.

00:18:17 --> 00:18:21

So the more something is going to be active, the more you're going

00:18:21 --> 00:18:21

to need to do.

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

And the strange thing here you might be saying what if I don't do

00:18:25 --> 00:18:29

any since I don't need to do any vicar of Allah subhanaw taala but

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

it's one or the other.

00:18:32 --> 00:18:38

You have to we have to match and equate and compensate for the dirt

00:18:38 --> 00:18:38

that is coming

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

through doing that much vicar of Allah subhanaw taala to remove

00:18:44 --> 00:18:49

that. So our cleanliness regime regime needs to increase. It can't

00:18:49 --> 00:18:52

be just cleaned once a week, or just five minutes. It needs to be

00:18:52 --> 00:18:53

way more than that.

00:18:55 --> 00:19:00

And the people with the greatest sickness, as Allah subhanaw taala

00:19:00 --> 00:19:03

mentions in the Quran and talking about spiritual sickness is ficolo

00:19:03 --> 00:19:07

be him Maradona. As Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran, about the

00:19:07 --> 00:19:14

Mana 15 feet Kullu be him modern. Their whole approach. Their

00:19:14 --> 00:19:18

hypocrisy is called a model is called a sickness, Maradona

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

sickness. They have huge sickness in their heart.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

They have a variety of sickness in the heart again, the Arabic term

00:19:27 --> 00:19:32

here is model Dune, which is natira. It's not particularize

00:19:32 --> 00:19:37

it's not they have a sick, they don't have the sickness, they have

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

sickness, and there's a lot of sicknesses that they have with

00:19:40 --> 00:19:44

their heart. So hypocrisy is a sickness of the heart. And

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

anything related to that is going to be a hit is going to be a

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

sickness, right? So

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

if that's the sickness,

00:19:53 --> 00:19:57

then you can imagine how much if influence it needs from the Dhikr

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

of Allah Subhana Allah about the monarchic in Allah subhanaw taala

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

Allah says in the Quran was that the been the bane of vertic La

00:20:02 --> 00:20:07

Ilaha illa Allah. And he mentioned well I have Quran Allah Allah

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

collibra They only remember Allah subhanho wa Taala a small amount.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

They don't remember Allah subhanho wa Taala too much. Now is that our

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

state today when we remember him, but we don't remember him too much

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

do we? I mean, who? How many of us can say we remember him so much?

00:20:25 --> 00:20:28

We don't remember him much. That is supposed to be

00:20:30 --> 00:20:35

the characteristic of the monarchy team, who have been

00:20:36 --> 00:20:41

defined in the Quran or described in the Quran as having sickness in

00:20:41 --> 00:20:42

their heart.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:47

Because Allah says, What could Allah Vikram cathedra remember

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

Allah subhanaw taala abundantly

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

Levine eighth Quran Allah Kia Makarova, Allah Gob him,

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

Allah subhanho wa Taala says those who remember Allah sitting, lying

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

down and standing, which means that abundantly remembering Allah

00:21:03 --> 00:21:07

subhanaw taala, so we're going to have to increase it. That's why it

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

cannot be underscored enough why the Sufi tricks tell you to do a

00:21:10 --> 00:21:13

lot of vicar, because they know that that is what's going to help

00:21:13 --> 00:21:18

us. And the more issues we have outside, the more thicker we need

00:21:18 --> 00:21:22

to do to combat those issues. Compensate for them, and hopefully

00:21:22 --> 00:21:25

push them out that our thinking needs to become enough that it

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

pushes out all of these other issues. As I mentioned, the more

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

they could you do have anything, the more love you have, the more

00:21:31 --> 00:21:35

you appreciate Allah subhanaw taala. So the more vicar you do,

00:21:35 --> 00:21:39

the more you appreciate Allah subhanaw taala the more your love

00:21:39 --> 00:21:43

grows, the more attachment it becomes. And once that happens,

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

then it becomes easier. So yes, initially there is a major

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

struggle. There's a recognition the reason why we're all sitting

00:21:49 --> 00:21:54

here today is we've all recognize, because why would somebody come on

00:21:54 --> 00:21:58

a Saturday morning, you know, Sunday morning, is a recognition

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

that we have an issue

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

and we've pushed ourselves to do this much. We just need to push

00:22:05 --> 00:22:08

ourselves there's a lot of people who are not going to even think

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

about it.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

So it's to get beyond that because Allah Allah Allah He dean will

00:22:13 --> 00:22:18

Harless for Allah subhanho wa Taala is the pure faith and

00:22:18 --> 00:22:23

adulterated faith. And that's what we need unlock give it to us.

00:22:27 --> 00:22:32

So for a person to start forgetting the LTR, alternatives,

00:22:32 --> 00:22:35

anything but Allah subhanaw taala for a person to slowly become

00:22:35 --> 00:22:41

disassociated with them, for a person to stop becoming, to start

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

becoming less attached to them, let's put it that way. Let's

00:22:44 --> 00:22:47

attach to them that is the sign that the heart is becoming pure.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:53

Essentially, it's like if you're in a meeting a lot of the time

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

what happens in organizations is that people try to form

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

coalition's

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

secret support groups

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

like let's get that person in. So it'll be an additional vote for us

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

and in a man

00:23:09 --> 00:23:14

in a contact. So, likewise, when we have less problems in our

00:23:14 --> 00:23:18

hearts, it will attract less since the more the thicker gets the

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

votes.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:25

The more Allah subhanaw taala is allowed to settle in the heart

00:23:25 --> 00:23:30

with abundant thicker it will start pushing out the agents for

00:23:30 --> 00:23:31

shaytaan

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

in different forms, agents for the love of wealth and agents for the

00:23:36 --> 00:23:41

love of shadow and desire and so on and so forth. So slowly slowly

00:23:42 --> 00:23:47

the the agents for Allah subhanaw taala will gain ascendancy then

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

there's less chance of somebody influencing other than the

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

alternatives that are here or anything besides Allah there's

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

less chance of those affecting our hearts.

00:23:58 --> 00:24:03

So if we overcome one aspect where we're able to deal with them see

00:24:03 --> 00:24:07

in the right way, then we'll understand that mashallah one of

00:24:07 --> 00:24:11

the dunya we agents have been deployed as as departed from our

00:24:11 --> 00:24:16

heart. And if that deposit insha Allah Allah subhanaw taala is his

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

effect will enter

00:24:21 --> 00:24:29

once one of the pious people, Mirza Messiah, John John

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

Rahmatullah Haley from India

00:24:32 --> 00:24:36

once some really beautiful grapes were brought,

00:24:37 --> 00:24:42

but he refused to eat them saying that I smell copes, corpses from

00:24:42 --> 00:24:47

these grapes. Grapes. Intense sweetness is one of the very sweet

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

fruits they use grape juice to sweeten many things.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:56

I smell corpse corpses from these others were eating as well. They

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

couldn't smell any corpses from them. They couldn't feel anything

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

of that nature. But

00:25:00 --> 00:25:05

He could for some reason. So, somebody's curious enough when

00:25:05 --> 00:25:08

inquired and found out that a person who had supplied them

00:25:10 --> 00:25:14

he brought it from a particular seller in the market or somewhere,

00:25:14 --> 00:25:17

went to the market to that particular seller.

00:25:18 --> 00:25:22

After making some inquiries, he found out that

00:25:24 --> 00:25:28

this supplier of the dates, he grows them illegally in a

00:25:28 --> 00:25:29

graveyard?

00:25:32 --> 00:25:36

No, because graveyards are generally not protected in many

00:25:36 --> 00:25:41

countries here in the world and everything, price, you know, it's

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

very expensive land here, but in many places, the graveyard is just

00:25:43 --> 00:25:47

like this large piece of land on the side. No, people may go there

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

once in a while or something like this, right?

00:25:52 --> 00:25:56

So the people use it for these things.

00:25:58 --> 00:26:03

Is a public graveyard using that land. So that's what a person gets

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

that kind of insight that Allah subhanaw taala then helps them to

00:26:06 --> 00:26:12

avoid it. So Allah subhanaw taala says, Professor Lawson said, my

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

aesthetic if you're a full hula

00:26:15 --> 00:26:20

my staff if you're a full hula is staffer means the one who tries to

00:26:20 --> 00:26:27

remain our faith, chaste, the one who tries to is in Arabic,

00:26:27 --> 00:26:32

whenever you see the verb ista from seeing it, it means to desire

00:26:32 --> 00:26:33

something.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:39

So whoever tries to remain chaste, Allah will give him chastity.

00:26:41 --> 00:26:44

So somebody who tries to gain Taqwa. And by showing you what is

00:26:44 --> 00:26:48

that we all hope that we just get this kind of promotion and just

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

thought, Allah subhanaw taala just starts opening up these things for

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

us. No, we have to want it a lot. And you have to prove that and

00:26:55 --> 00:26:58

there's a certain threshold you have to get to for that, which is

00:26:58 --> 00:26:59

a lot of effort.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:03

But once that happens, then these kinds of things are possible where

00:27:03 --> 00:27:07

you just don't feel right about it just be about not feeling right

00:27:07 --> 00:27:11

about something, which is exactly what's happening here. I can't eat

00:27:11 --> 00:27:16

these grapes. So there's two ways to accomplish this. Two ways to

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

accomplish this, which is so look, this is essentially So look what

00:27:19 --> 00:27:23

we're all on. One is cathro to the abundant vicar and number two is

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

etbr Oh sunnah.

00:27:26 --> 00:27:30

To fulfill the other of the Sunnah, in our general behavior,

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

our life and so on. And number two is just to do vicar, which is the

00:27:34 --> 00:27:38

internal fortitude, it about sunnah is the external aspect and

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

our behavior and our interaction. And internally, we need to do the

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

Dhikr of Allah subhanaw taala. The benefit of being

00:27:46 --> 00:27:50

in pious company and in being with a Sheikh is the fact that there is

00:27:50 --> 00:27:51

what we call

00:27:52 --> 00:27:59

a negating attention and negating effects. The sobhita Wedge, the

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

wedge salby, right. So for example, in the town of Seoul,

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam person comes to him and says that

00:28:05 --> 00:28:09

I can't help doing the Zina helped me out. There he is going to a

00:28:09 --> 00:28:12

Sheikh and saying, Look, I'm he's revealing his sin. That's why the

00:28:12 --> 00:28:16

Roma have mentioned that it's omitted, in fact, in many cases,

00:28:16 --> 00:28:21

obligatory, to mention your sins that you're involved in to the

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

sheikh, you're only going to take a shake, if you trust Him,

00:28:24 --> 00:28:28

obviously, you're going to trust every person, you don't tell it to

00:28:28 --> 00:28:32

anybody else, because it's haram to reveal sins, just as is haram

00:28:32 --> 00:28:37

to reveal the parts of the body that is haram to reveal to just

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

anybody. Likewise, in a need, it's allowed to reveal it to a doctor

00:28:42 --> 00:28:46

to see what the problem is. So likewise, to reveal these things

00:28:46 --> 00:28:50

to the Sheikh is important. So that there can be a proper

00:28:50 --> 00:28:54

regimen, it needs to be clearly done. You know, without overly

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

graphic, you know, without overly it needs to be done very clearly,

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

then there's a possibility that it you know, they can

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

do something accordingly.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:08

So, he came to the Prophet salallahu Salam, and he revealed

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

listen to ourselves and try to explain to him first

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

psychologically try to motivate him, and to explain to him how

00:29:13 --> 00:29:15

would you like that to happen to your sister, your mother, etc,

00:29:15 --> 00:29:20

etc. Finally, the professor was in placed his hand on his heart, and

00:29:20 --> 00:29:25

he said, Allahumma ferula number who were asking for Jehovah, ALLAH

00:29:25 --> 00:29:26

forgive his sins,

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

and beautify

00:29:30 --> 00:29:36

make a reform reform his private parts. And since that day, he says

00:29:36 --> 00:29:40

it all stopped. There's a very powerful experience it all stopped

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

the profits or loss and just worked by doing this just managed

00:29:43 --> 00:29:48

to extract this desire. This longing this addiction from his

00:29:48 --> 00:29:52

heart. That's why we did the lengthening I have to lie Alicia

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

Garmin said Hindi says that.

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

For the heart to be called Munna

00:30:00 --> 00:30:01

When he does shift

00:30:02 --> 00:30:06

for the heart to be illuminated, there are two conditions. One is

00:30:06 --> 00:30:07

solid key magnet,

00:30:08 --> 00:30:12

the efforts of the Salic that has to happen the efforts of the

00:30:12 --> 00:30:15

Salic. So without that, it's not going to happen just like that.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:19

When I show you today, he's dealt with the issue of somebody who

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

goes into a shake can get so influenced, he changes his life,

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

he could change his life. But if he goes back to what he's doing,

00:30:25 --> 00:30:29

he's going to lose all that effects. Because that's just like

00:30:29 --> 00:30:33

this boost that's only going to last. But it's effective in the

00:30:33 --> 00:30:37

sense that it inspires you to work then heard, then you can maintain

00:30:37 --> 00:30:41

that level. But on its own, it's not going to help nobody can

00:30:41 --> 00:30:45

personal effort has to be there. So it's a solid key magnet. And

00:30:45 --> 00:30:50

number two, he says, are Allah gonna follow the Grace of Allah

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

subhanaw taala.

00:30:53 --> 00:30:57

One Sheikh said that he found the answer in Boca and difficulty in

00:30:57 --> 00:31:00

crying excessively. And in just reflecting.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:05

We don't do either of those enough, except in situations like

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

Attica for whatever.

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

We just don't do that enough on our own.

00:31:12 --> 00:31:16

So he says that job in Sansome money Nicoletta robotic, actually,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:20

I know this is very male kind of thing. But when a person *

00:31:20 --> 00:31:24

*, then they become valid of the in terms of do they become

00:31:24 --> 00:31:29

valid, right, terms of the world, Dean responsibility and so on. But

00:31:29 --> 00:31:33

money say in San Nicolas Yatta whenever person is able to extract

00:31:33 --> 00:31:39

himself from anything related to that fluid, then he becomes Bernie

00:31:39 --> 00:31:43

wish Bernie would predicate then he becomes accomplished in history

00:31:43 --> 00:31:48

records, because that's generally one of the most powerful forms of

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

desires that a man has, that a person has.

00:31:54 --> 00:31:56

So we're going to have to work hard on our hearts.

00:31:58 --> 00:32:03

So not only do we stop sins, but doing abundant vigor will help us

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

to stop sins.

00:32:05 --> 00:32:10

And to also stop thinking about them. That's the most important

00:32:10 --> 00:32:10

thing.

00:32:11 --> 00:32:16

That if a person can gain a pure sound thought process, which is

00:32:16 --> 00:32:20

the carbon stream, then that's what we're trying to do. So if

00:32:20 --> 00:32:23

we're avoiding certain things, but we're still thinking about them,

00:32:23 --> 00:32:26

then we need to work much harder. And remember, this is going to be

00:32:26 --> 00:32:30

a lifelong battle. So you can implicate yourself and you can

00:32:30 --> 00:32:32

satisfy yourself or push yourself, encourage yourself by saying,

00:32:33 --> 00:32:36

okay, you know, I need to stop this, I need to stop this and keep

00:32:36 --> 00:32:40

them as milestones. But one must realize that a person could still

00:32:40 --> 00:32:44

relapse. And a person should realize that this is going to be

00:32:44 --> 00:32:50

an ongoing until death effort, but it's worth it because Inshallah,

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

in the hereafter then we reap the benefits of our efforts as well.

00:32:53 --> 00:32:57

And not just that accomplishment, gain accomplishment Alhamdulillah

00:32:57 --> 00:33:01

but at least the effort will still be rewarded. And that's the beauty

00:33:01 --> 00:33:03

of Islam that our efforts are also rewarded.

00:33:04 --> 00:33:08

May Allah subhanaw taala give us the trophy. Allah human to sit

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11
