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

to continue with our series on

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

if not auto lists can vary skateable heckum The Book of

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

wisdoms, we were we had started in the previous session heckum hekman

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

Number 169, which is on page 205.

00:00:36 --> 00:00:43

We discussed it. He says Anya to houfy Kalani che mink arena to

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

houfy color Alicia Minka, we're in a condo Hina wa Jahad Gary Nyah,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:53

to walk Arbella the idea to let me configure as a de la so I'm and

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

let me a confy SLE he a philosopher RML wala, would you

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

do? Well, Bella Mia can Hoonah Illa model if ball while women

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

novel,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:08

his providential care of you is not due to anything coming from

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

you. Where were you, when he confronted you, with his

00:01:12 --> 00:01:17

providence are met your face met you face to face with his care,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

neither sincerity of deeds nor the existence of states have any being

00:01:22 --> 00:01:27

in his eternity. Instead, only pure bestowing and sublime giving

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

are there. So in conclusion is saying that everything that he's

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

given you, starting from your decision, from the decision to be

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

in this world for us to be in this world for us, then to come into

00:01:39 --> 00:01:45

this world, and then to negotiate all of the difficulties and

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

challenges of this world and then to be alive. And then to be doing

00:01:48 --> 00:01:52

good deeds, all of that came from Allah subhanho wa taala. So he

00:01:52 --> 00:01:58

says, if you now think that you are the one who

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

deserves all of this, because of some of the good deeds that you've

00:02:03 --> 00:02:06

done, on top, you think that you've got sincerity in your good

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

deeds. So that's why you should be blessed that we should be blessed

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

with his gifts and so on. So he says that Where were you when,

00:02:16 --> 00:02:20

when you weren't even there in eternity, when he decided to that

00:02:20 --> 00:02:24

you would come into being and so on. So it's purely out of His

00:02:24 --> 00:02:28

grace, essentially. So then we had discussed

00:02:29 --> 00:02:34

how people who recognize this and who fully become slaves of Allah

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

subhanho wa taala.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

Eventually, they

00:02:39 --> 00:02:46

reach different states. There's one state which they all have, and

00:02:46 --> 00:02:51

then after that, there are different manifestations,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

different states that these people will eventually have, depending on

00:02:55 --> 00:03:00

a number of factors. So we've mentioned one category, one of

00:03:00 --> 00:03:04

those categories were those who just have an aura of Allah

00:03:04 --> 00:03:09

subhanaw taala. All the time. They just didn't all the time. They

00:03:09 --> 00:03:14

just be holding of Allah subhanaw taala has majesty, His greatness,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

and they feel a sense of shame, a sense of shyness almost all the

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

time.

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

That's the first manifestation of what happens to people like this.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:33

The second manifestation is earnest desire, an eagerness, a

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

passion,

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

to want to be with Allah subhanaw taala to meet Allah subhanaw taala

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

we discuss the Hajj in that regard. People who just want to be

00:03:43 --> 00:03:44

with Allah subhana wa Tada.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:50

Now, the third manifestation it has is women human does anybody

00:03:50 --> 00:03:56

who was sick enough to feel called the third or those who they get

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

this overwhelming sense and feeling of tranquility in the

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

hearts just gives them absolute

00:04:06 --> 00:04:07

comfort

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

and

00:04:11 --> 00:04:13

a feeling of

00:04:14 --> 00:04:19

restfulness it's almost like absolute short assurance,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:25

conviction, certainty. Like they feel very, very confident about

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

their faith. Allah subhanaw taala provides that for them. And Allah

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

subhanaw taala discusses this messy manifestation in the Quran.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:37

All of these manifestations can be understood through the Quran. Like

00:04:37 --> 00:04:44

we showed last week, those about Haber and higher or, and Schinus

00:04:44 --> 00:04:47

Allah says in the My Yasha Allah have been able to heal or Dhamma

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

We have numerous verses in the Quran that speak about

00:04:52 --> 00:04:58

desire for ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And then the third one, which is

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

the Sakina in the heart, Allah says

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

in Sorrento ride, verse 28, Allah BV Karela he thought on the

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

interval co lube is with the remembrance of Allah do hearts

00:05:09 --> 00:05:15

find that tranquility and comfort and rest and calmness.

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

So that's another feeling that could manifest itself you'll see

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

people have all of these different states. Some people could have

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

more than one state possibly.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:27

Then

00:05:28 --> 00:05:34

there's another group of them upon them will be a sense of

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

astonishment,

00:05:36 --> 00:05:41

bewilderment and astonishment. These are very difficult things to

00:05:41 --> 00:05:45

explain because they're matters of experience. That's why some of the

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

orlimar who have experiences they've said, are often nasty

00:05:48 --> 00:05:51

Billahi a shed to whom the high urine fee

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

and it makes a lot of sense to be honest. The one who most knows

00:05:56 --> 00:06:00

Allah, the man most knowing of Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one

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

with the most intense bewilderment about Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

astonishment about Allah.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

That's why there's a hadith it says, Oh Allah Allah Houma, Sydney

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

fika Taha Juran,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

oh Allah increase me in astonishment about you. And I

00:06:18 --> 00:06:18

would assume that

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

this is a good astonishment to just want to know Allah subhanaw

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

taala more and more and more,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:32

the fourth or fifth group now the next group, they have a dominance

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

of humility, humility overcomes them.

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

Humility, humbly and treating Allah subhanaw taala.

00:06:41 --> 00:06:46

They are people who are very humble and just trying to serve

00:06:46 --> 00:06:50

others. Everything related to Allah subhanho wa taala. They want

00:06:50 --> 00:06:53

to just provide service they have no arrogance about them, no airs

00:06:53 --> 00:06:54

about them.

00:06:55 --> 00:07:03

They get dominated by lavado who do the an MBSR right, this just

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

feeling of just lowliness absolute servitude.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:14

That's why Janelle Baghdadi says the Elia the focal aren't

00:07:15 --> 00:07:18

the one who knows Allah is like the earth the earth knows Allah.

00:07:19 --> 00:07:23

The one who knows Allah is like the Earth. Junaid Al Baghdadi said

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

Allah it for call out yeah Taha al bar Reuel third year

00:07:28 --> 00:07:33

worker sahab you little ACMA well absorbed, what can matter your

00:07:33 --> 00:07:38

skill Mashi what Rashi. So the IRF the one who knows Allah subhana wa

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

Tada. And if this state dominates him, he becomes like the earth,

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

the earth is such that even the good people and the bad people,

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

they both

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

tread on the world, they tread on the earth.

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

He is

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

He is also

00:07:55 --> 00:08:01

like the clouds, who will provide a shade to both altar all sorts of

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

people

00:08:04 --> 00:08:09

provide to all sorts of things. So this person is just there in the

00:08:09 --> 00:08:15

service providing to whoever there is just FISA beat Allah, or the

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

IRF is like the rain

00:08:19 --> 00:08:24

which provides water for those who are walking. And also for those

00:08:24 --> 00:08:28

who are trying to pull water from the well. Otherwise the well will

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

only provide water for those who pull the water out of it. It's not

00:08:31 --> 00:08:34

going to provide your water otherwise, but mashallah this

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

person is like the rain, which will provide you what if you don't

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

go even go to it, it'll come to you.

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

La ilaha illallah, then the another group, and this is

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

probably the last of the groups and they may be more

00:08:49 --> 00:08:51

manifestations, but these are the few that come to mind right now.

00:08:52 --> 00:08:55

As discussed by the sheikh. I mean her mentor Tessie O'Malley for

00:08:55 --> 00:09:01

two, whoa, this is the one he just gets this expanded awareness of

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

Allah subhanaw taala.

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

The other one was bewildered looking, looking, looking,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:13

understanding, looking more. This one gets an expanded recognition

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

of Allah subhanaw taala Subhan Allah, may Allah make us of these

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

people. So what this person does, he is the one who's able to take a

00:09:21 --> 00:09:27

dive into the oceans of the hate. The oceans of deck declaring Allah

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

to be one, declaring Allah to be one is something we all believe in

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

as Muslims that we have to have that belief. But what this is

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

talking about is when it becomes an action, so in everything you

00:09:37 --> 00:09:42

do, you only see Allah, you only do it for Allah in everything. So

00:09:42 --> 00:09:45

while we believe in Tawheed, but when it comes to, for example,

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

other things when it comes to earning sometimes people make

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

money, an object of their worship, not actively worship, but almost

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

like worship, so they will give it preference over things for for the

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

sake of Allah, but a person who for whom, though he is

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

The only thing that become absolutely overwhelmed by Tauheed

00:10:04 --> 00:10:08

that that's it they take that into the ocean, they jump into the

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

ocean of towhee for them it's just that's all it's just a oneness of

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

Allah. They see nothing else. For now you can do who che nothing

00:10:15 --> 00:10:20

pollutes that person. That person doesn't get salad, polluted and

00:10:20 --> 00:10:24

confused with anything. What are you Salat? Allah He che Oh ALLAH

00:10:24 --> 00:10:27

your Salat Allah He said nothing overwhelms them, nothing can

00:10:28 --> 00:10:32

confuse them. But yet who do not see them in coalition, they still

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

take they still do everything they take their share of everything

00:10:35 --> 00:10:38

they will eat, they will work, they will have money, they will

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

drive they will do everything. So they take part in everything.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

Whether you have me na CB he che but nothing will take any part of

00:10:46 --> 00:10:46

them.

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

They are in control, meaning they only do things for the sake of

00:10:51 --> 00:10:54

Allah. Nothing will take a part of them and divert them,

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

yet needs to be Konishi while you're still Heysham in shape,

00:10:59 --> 00:11:00

they

00:11:01 --> 00:11:05

they are comfortable with any situation, any good situation

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

they're comfortable with. And they don't feel uncomfortable in any

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

situation, because they just totally focused on Allah subhanho

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

wa Taala there is no bewilderment semana Allah.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

Sometimes life goes wonderful. And then there is no complaints.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:24

Sometimes difficulties come about and people get bewildered. People

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

get confused. People get depressed people

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32

can't sleep at night. La ilaha illallah people cannot sleep at

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

night. They feel lost, they feel forsaken.

00:11:36 --> 00:11:39

They feel that they don't have anything to hold on to anymore.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

Their pillar is gone. But a person with Allah subhanaw taala that

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

pillar is always there because Allah is always there. So this

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

person never has a confusion of that nature that I'm

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

I've been forsaken that never just crosses their mind. They're

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

constantly with Allah subhanaw taala is always there for them.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:02

That's why it's important to connect ourselves with Allah,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:06

because he will do much more for us than what we do for him.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

He will he is willing to do much more for us than we then we are

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

willing to do for him. He just wants us to do that bit. And then

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

he will do a lot for us.

00:12:20 --> 00:12:25

About Rob says Elia, the FBI, he useful Katroo coalition, whether

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

you get the Rouget, the IRF Biller, the one who is the knower

00:12:28 --> 00:12:30

of Allah who has reached the status.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

He is the one who goes and purifies the muddiness and the

00:12:36 --> 00:12:41

dirty and everything. So when He comes, He purifies things, he or

00:12:41 --> 00:12:46

she will cleanse things make it crystal clear, that confusion will

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

be gone, and nothing can pollute them.

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

So nothing pollutes them in a way, they're very straight, the very

00:12:52 --> 00:12:54

strong Subhanallah

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

we have children who are in primary school, you can look after

00:13:00 --> 00:13:03

them, then Islamic schools or other schools, you can look after

00:13:03 --> 00:13:11

them Primary School innocence. You know, the normal until 10, or 11

00:13:11 --> 00:13:16

is a lot of innocence. And you go to secondary school, high school.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:22

And one, one person who's just been through that who's now

00:13:22 --> 00:13:25

finished college finish university, saying that you can't

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

have good friends in, in high school.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

Now, I've my high school was done in Madras Al Hamdulillah.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:37

But

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

we've heard a lot about high schools, and I can't say they're

00:13:40 --> 00:13:44

all like that, or every person will have that experience. But

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

this is one person who's saying that you can't have good friends

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

in high school. What that means is, even the good people get

00:13:50 --> 00:13:55

caught up there. It's the age that is bombarded by the media, by

00:13:55 --> 00:14:00

bombarded by social media, by advertisements, by product by

00:14:00 --> 00:14:05

music, the music industry, and all these other industries that are

00:14:05 --> 00:14:08

there to make a buck from them. And they get them into that.

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

That's when the hormones are raging. That's when the shape time

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

comes around. So it's very, very, very difficult.

00:14:19 --> 00:14:22

That age is a very critical age. That's when the just the human is

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

just looking and exploring. We find new found energies at that

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

time capabilities, we become more independent. So that's why it's

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

all open at that time.

00:14:33 --> 00:14:36

And that is why it is a huge reward for those who spend that

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

time in the path of Allah connected to Allah subhanaw taala

00:14:40 --> 00:14:47

they go into school, how many? If there are if our children from the

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

time that they become mature

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

to you know, when they get married, if they've managed to

00:14:53 --> 00:14:57

pray all the slots, what an achievement that is that when

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

they're 25 years old, they don't have any other prayer

00:15:01 --> 00:15:05

Masha Allah, I'm pleasantly surprised. I've spoken to a few

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

people in the past month or so. And I asked him, Do you have any

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

thoughts or prayers.

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

So Hamdulillah we don't have any calls or prayers. And that brings

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

a lot of satisfaction. There's a lot of people like that who do not

00:15:18 --> 00:15:21

have cooperated. But yet, there's a lot to do have collaborators.

00:15:22 --> 00:15:25

That's why you should tell your children and if it's children who

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

are listening, that after you become mature, you do not want to

00:15:28 --> 00:15:28

miss any prayer.

00:15:30 --> 00:15:34

And that training has to start earlier, from the age of 910, that

00:15:34 --> 00:15:37

they tried to pray all the Salah, but it needs to be done out of

00:15:37 --> 00:15:41

love, not out of force. It needs to be a bit of pressure, but a lot

00:15:41 --> 00:15:45

of encouragement so that they want to pray themselves. And if they

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

want to do that, then in sha Allah, they will do so if they do

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

happen to miss a photo, they should get up and perform it

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

and make it up so that they have a clear balance all the way through

00:15:54 --> 00:15:58

by the end of the day. They should not have any prayers outstanding.

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

And that's May Allah subhanaw taala protect all of our young

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

people. Otherwise, that's the time to make it or break it time

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

sometimes.

00:16:09 --> 00:16:14

So the Irish biller is the one who goes and purifies everything else.

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

And nothing pollutes them.

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

Abu Salah mana Dharani you'll hear him quite often you'll hear about

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

his name because he was a major. What do you have Allah

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

La ilaha IL Allah Allah Illa Illa Allah, he says something which

00:16:31 --> 00:16:34

sounds a bit controversial, he says that in Allah yufka holy

00:16:34 --> 00:16:38

Latifi Allah urushi murder after Hula, hula, hula and when you

00:16:38 --> 00:16:42

suddenly sometimes for irif Billa Allah subhanho wa Taala gives him

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

such unveilings and openings.

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

While he may be lying on his bed, than he gets maybe even in Salaat

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

because a person is constantly connected to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

So he doesn't even have to be in Salah to get salah they still want

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

your business or you can't sleep, can't sleep it off. But Masha

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

Allah is Allah subhanho wa Taala giving them lots of knowledge. And

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

there's a number of authors like this, that others have said, Who

00:17:10 --> 00:17:15

knew them that this book they've written, you know, they know their

00:17:15 --> 00:17:18

education. So there's certain scholars, their their

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

contemporaries know, their education, what they've started,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:25

right. But some of the things that they've written is impossible for

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

them to have taken it from another book, or from another scholar.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:34

For example, regarding Imam Kasim nanopi,

00:17:36 --> 00:17:39

he just didn't write too many books, which is really

00:17:39 --> 00:17:44

unfortunate. He was told by a friend of his that we want you to

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

write a book because he was a master of all the subjects of his

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

time, not just Islamic subjects. But in terms of the books of

00:17:50 --> 00:17:54

astronomy, he studied all of those, he studied, philosophies of

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

his time, he studied everything, like he was just a voracious

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

student used, and he just found everything so easy. He would find

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

things for easy. So he's actually mentioned that in his class, his,

00:18:05 --> 00:18:08

his teacher was shaking them locally. That was his name.

00:18:08 --> 00:18:14

Rahima. Hola. So the other students had to translate to, to

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

show that they've understood the text to the teacher. For Qasem

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

dhanaulti Rahim Allah, when you're still a student, his teacher would

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

just allow him to just

00:18:27 --> 00:18:31

provide the Arabic just read the Arabic. So the other students are

00:18:31 --> 00:18:34

complaining that he's just reading Arabic? He's not translating, he's

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

not explaining he says, no, no, nobody monlam local, it was such a

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

teacher that there's nobody that would just pass by without

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

understanding something. He says, Don't worry, I know he understands

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

everything. He would let him just read that because he knew his

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

level of comprehension understanding. So there was

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

another friend of his who told him that I want you to write a book on

00:18:53 --> 00:18:59

100 subjects, like, you know, some on a bit of detail on 100 subjects

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

like an introduction, almost. So he started writing on the first

00:19:02 --> 00:19:07

one or two subjects. And he started writing. And then he sent

00:19:07 --> 00:19:11

it to, he sent it to that friend, and a friend said, No, this is too

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

much when you're like just like one or two pages on each on each

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

subject, you know, because we need to publish this. And those days,

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

you didn't have so much money to publish huge Tomes. And he thought

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

this is going to become like a volume on each subject or

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

something. So So Mala Qasim, actually said to him, he says,

00:19:27 --> 00:19:29

don't stop the pen when he doesn't want to stop.

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

Colombia Kamath Roko like don't stop the pen when he doesn't want

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

to stop. But the person said no, no, we only want it one page or

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

some or something like that, per subject.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

And others have said now that it's a pity that he said that because

00:19:45 --> 00:19:48

that is not the way monocalcium number two and then that book

00:19:48 --> 00:19:49

never came to materialize.

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

Some people just write and you you wonder where they're getting this

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

knowledge from? And that's why others have said that what they've

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

written is essentially what they call

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

el el Mala Dooney. This is the knowledge that comes direct from

00:20:04 --> 00:20:07

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada an inspiration directly from Allah

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

subhanho wa taala. Many teachers would have experienced some level

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

of this when you're teaching, there's something you've not

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

understood you've never thought of before. But when you're teaching,

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

suddenly there's a point that comes up. Right? That you will get

00:20:19 --> 00:20:24

this is like a whole download of it. Just just just coming out.

00:20:24 --> 00:20:27

There's a number of scholars who are like that, who people have

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

said, their contemporaries have said that there's no way they

00:20:29 --> 00:20:32

could have written this just based on what we know. They knew because

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

they were our classmates. For example, let's say Al Mulla

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

Dooney, Allah subhanho wa Taala gives as much as he wishes. It

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

says, I mean, it's not similar, but it's like a person. They just

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

see business opportunities all the time, they can make money very

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

easily. And there's other people who struggle, they struggle to

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

make money they losers, you know, they think themselves as losers.

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

They try they try hard, but they don't make any other people money,

00:20:56 --> 00:21:00

just suddenly they find money. Right all over the place. Some

00:21:00 --> 00:21:02

people Allah does that for money, some people, some people, Allah

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

gives both of those things. Imam Abu Hanifa was somebody who was

00:21:06 --> 00:21:10

given money abundantly, and he was given knowledge abundantly, sub to

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

Allah, you do your best you ask Allah, Allah can open it up to you

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

the floodgates open.

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

So we have Allah subhanaw taala.

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

It's a way of Allah, I believe that anything, you make an effort

00:21:20 --> 00:21:23

for property, and you keep doing your deeds, Allah will open it up

00:21:23 --> 00:21:26

for you. I mean, that's my, I would say that's my experience.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

But you have to make an effort and you have to have dedication,

00:21:29 --> 00:21:33

effort and dedication for the sake of Allah. And Allah will give it

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

to you. There's nothing he can't give you. Subhan Allah, nothing he

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

can't give you.

00:21:38 --> 00:21:44

Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar. Some people said that the

00:21:44 --> 00:21:48

IRF, then the the one who knows, Allah gets to know Allah is the

00:21:48 --> 00:21:54

one who finds complete comfort in the remembrance of Allah subhanaw

00:21:54 --> 00:22:01

taala until they find discomfort with others, they know that only

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

Allah can provide so they become absolutely

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

focused on Allah subhanaw taala for all their needs, and then

00:22:08 --> 00:22:12

Allah subhanaw taala makes them need a nobody else. But that is

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

something we have to create in ourselves first that

00:22:15 --> 00:22:20

everything only Allah can give me so we only ask Allah. And then you

00:22:20 --> 00:22:24

won't have to ask others again, Allah will just provide, you'd be

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

surprised how much Allah subhanaw taala can provide, which shook her

00:22:27 --> 00:22:28

that you do. It's amazing.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:34

You'd be surprised. For Athena who and hulky Hala will just make you

00:22:34 --> 00:22:37

independent, he'll enrich you, you won't have to go to his creation.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

Then these are the people who completely as we discussed

00:22:42 --> 00:22:47

earlier, they humble themselves for the sake of Allah fully. Like

00:22:47 --> 00:22:49

they just understand the greatness of Allah, they really understand

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

it. We all know Allah is great, but they really really take that

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

understanding.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:59

And Allah is great. I am nothing I am absolutely nothing. So when you

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

talk to them as like, I'm nothing like why are they saying I'm

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

nothing cost you something? I'm nothing compared to? You know,

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

what there is out there? What is Allah subhanaw taala. Like I find

00:23:07 --> 00:23:12

myself completely insignificant. So a relative idea, that kind of

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

idea is that, and then Allah subhanaw taala makes them the most

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

respected people among respected among people.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:27

Okay, so I'm going to quote you something from the old Ali Salaam.

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

Apparently, this is in the Psalms. Okay, I'm taking from the Arabic

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

version. It's a really interesting idea. And this doesn't seem to be

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

corrupted. Right? This seems to be what it is. Because when you talk

00:23:40 --> 00:23:46

about the evangel, and the Psalms, and the books, they're not 100%

00:23:46 --> 00:23:51

corrupted, that there's no word of God in there. Right? That's why we

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

shouldn't be this, like, take Bibles and throw them around. We

00:23:54 --> 00:23:58

shouldn't really be doing that. You know, where while others may

00:23:58 --> 00:24:02

do that to the Quran? We disagree with that, because they could be

00:24:02 --> 00:24:05

and there's quite a difference of opinion as to exactly how much has

00:24:05 --> 00:24:09

been changed in the like, what exactly as it has been changed? Is

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

it things taken from one piece put in another and mixed up like that?

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

So everything is still the words of God but mixed around? Or is it

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

changed in terms of replaced?

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

Right? There's various opinions on that. But at the end of the day,

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

not a can't say that everything is absolutely corrupt, right that

00:24:24 --> 00:24:26

there's no good words in the course there is there are good

00:24:26 --> 00:24:31

words in there. But we the Quran is sufficient for us. So

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

it says in the year that would Allah subhanaw taala saying to

00:24:37 --> 00:24:41

that with Ali salaam, Bill, or Hillary Davi any Habib and Lehman

00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

have Bernie,

00:24:43 --> 00:24:48

tell the people tell those people who are the people that I'm

00:24:48 --> 00:24:52

satisfied with or who want to be satisfied with me that I am the

00:24:52 --> 00:24:57

lover of the one who loves me. I will give my love to the ones who

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

want to say they love Allah subhanaw taala

00:25:01 --> 00:25:04

Tell me something. Have you ever felt a love for Allah?

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

How often do you feel a love for Allah like Allah I just love you.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

Like, that's what you do for love though. You express that love

00:25:14 --> 00:25:18

loves causes you extra so when's the last time you said yeah Allah

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

in your handbook? Does that ever come to the mind? I know it's

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

something we should do but does it have come to mind? Yeah love you

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

something to think about his Allah is promising a lot for that.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

You tell anybody I love you I mean don't they feel really good about

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

it?

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

Because that's what love is all about.

00:25:40 --> 00:25:46

So tell the people that I am the lover of those who love me what

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

Jellison lemon jealous any? And the companion the sitting

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

was Sahiba lemon Safa Benny Companion of the ones who is my

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

companion. How would you be a companion to Allah, your companion

00:26:18 --> 00:26:22

of the masjid companion of good people? For the sake of Allah,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

anything you do for the sake of Allah you accompany something?

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

Well, more thoroughly manifesta Ronnie, I'm the one who was chosen

00:26:29 --> 00:26:33

by the one who wants to choose me then I'll be chosen by him. I'll

00:26:33 --> 00:26:39

be there for him. Well, Mattia on lemon autonomy and I'll do for the

00:26:39 --> 00:26:43

one who wants to obey me I'll I'll do their bidding. I'll do what

00:26:43 --> 00:26:44

they want.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:51

Because it has to be that you have to buy my might. I am I swear that

00:26:51 --> 00:26:56

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

with certainty in his heart, if there is any servant like that,

00:27:11 --> 00:27:15

then I will have accepted Him for myself. Like he would have been

00:27:15 --> 00:27:19

accepted for me like if he knows by his heart that he loves me.

00:27:20 --> 00:27:23

Then there is no seven who would not be then not accepted by me

00:27:23 --> 00:27:29

like that was to shut the meme I have Bernie and I will love him

00:27:30 --> 00:27:35

even more intensely than he loves me. Allah has the ability to give

00:27:35 --> 00:27:39

that and people who believe they're supposed to be ardent

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

lovers of Allah anyway. Well, Lena Amendola should do Hogben Lilla

00:29:37 --> 00:29:42

from I've created them from the as well they're from the same, you

00:29:42 --> 00:29:46

know? Well, hello to colluvial mustachian I mean, Newari and

00:29:46 --> 00:29:49

those who are lovers who have ardent desire towards me, I've

00:29:49 --> 00:29:54

created their hearts from my light, and now I'm too I've then

00:29:54 --> 00:29:57

gifted them from my might and from my beauty

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

So,

00:30:02 --> 00:30:05

that goes to understand what this path that gives us an

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

understanding of what this path is where it leads to.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:09

And

00:30:10 --> 00:30:15

this all makes sense because you see this on those who are kind of

00:30:15 --> 00:30:19

recognized as being earlier Allah, they will have one of these

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

manifestations. When you read their biographies, you'll see the

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25

kind of sometimes they go through different states, they might go

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

through a sense of bewilderment, then eventually they will be

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

sometimes they go through different states like that these

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

are all possible manifest traits of that nature. So now let us look

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

at what Sheikh

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

Abdullah, go here, Rahim. Allah is saying in his

00:30:46 --> 00:30:51

in his commentary here, he says, seeker, your understanding that

00:30:51 --> 00:30:56

your righteous deeds, your spiritual states, and your

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

efforts, your understanding that all of that brings about the

00:30:59 --> 00:31:03

special mercy and proximity of Allah, then that is only due to

00:31:03 --> 00:31:04

your deficiency in your thinking.

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

What did did you render in order to be brought to the focus of

00:31:10 --> 00:31:15

Allah's mercy on you, right from the beginning, the decree of his

00:31:15 --> 00:31:20

special mercy was applied to you when you and your deeds were non

00:31:20 --> 00:31:21

existent.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

Because Allah has planned everything from before, Allah has

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

a plan for everything from before.

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

It's not like he saw us doing a bit of good deeds and Okay, now,

00:31:32 --> 00:31:36

he knew that already. So then why are we doing good deeds, that just

00:31:36 --> 00:31:39

goes to show what's in store for us for doing bad deeds, we'll

00:31:39 --> 00:31:41

start doing good deeds and that will go to show the same thing.

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

It was nothing but his grace. Hence, you should not consider

00:31:46 --> 00:31:50

your deeds as the cause for His grace. Remove your gaze from your

00:31:50 --> 00:31:55

efforts. Just focus it on the mercy of Allah Most High. So much

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

easier way to do that just yet Allah I want your mercy. I'm going

00:31:58 --> 00:32:02

to make my effort but I need your mercy for that. I'm not relying on

00:32:02 --> 00:32:07

this because I know that what I need from you may Allah subhanho

00:32:07 --> 00:32:10

wa Taala make this a reality for us. May Allah subhanaw taala make

00:32:10 --> 00:32:15

make it easy for us. May Allah grant us success in this Allahumma

00:33:46 --> 00:33:50

those distractions from around us that take us away that keep us

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

away. Oh Allah, there are so many things that we would like to do.

00:33:54 --> 00:33:57

We've had a dream of doing those good things for a long time. We've

00:33:57 --> 00:34:01

had ambitions for doing those things for a long time. never

00:34:01 --> 00:34:05

managed to do it. Oh Allah Now allow us to do it. And there were

00:34:05 --> 00:34:09

some things that we used to do before but then we got distracted

00:34:09 --> 00:34:13

away from them of Allah allow us to resume those things. Don't

00:34:13 --> 00:34:17

allow us to be worse than we were yesterday. Oh Allah make us only

00:34:17 --> 00:34:21

better than we were yesterday. Oh Allah be there every day with

00:34:21 --> 00:34:25

every hour we're getting closer to our death of Allah allow us to

00:34:25 --> 00:34:29

just be better according to the continuous days and make our

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

final days the best of our days. Oh Allah make our final days the

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

best of our days. Oh Allah, whatever is good for us. Oh Allah

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

grant us and keep us away from whatever is evil for us. Whatever

00:34:42 --> 00:34:46

is bad for us. Sometimes we see things and we get excited by them.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:50

We become emotionally attached to them. We feel they are good. They

00:34:50 --> 00:34:54

are good for us that it's good for us. Oh Allah only you know what's

00:34:54 --> 00:34:58

good and bad of Allah. We want to be under your care. We want to be

00:34:59 --> 00:34:59

under you

Okay, we want to be looked after by you we want a special special

00:35:04 --> 00:35:08

looking after from you we want a special protection from you. That

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

keeps us away from that which is wrong that shifts us away from

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

there that doesn't even allow us to turn in that direction. That

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

makes us immune to those things of Allah so that we don't have to

00:35:18 --> 00:35:22

struggle as much anymore. Oh Allah, Oh Allah don't make it a

00:35:22 --> 00:35:26

struggle for us make it easy for us facilitate for us Oh Allah make

00:35:26 --> 00:35:30
