So the color who are we? So my dear brothers and sisters and our
dear friends out there inshallah we continue today with our series
on Abner otter Illa L is Kendrys HECM. And its commentary by Sheikh
Abdullah on GUI and today we move on to HECM number 245, which is
200 and page 209 of our commentary edition. So page 209. And that's
245 wisdom.

he
is talking about the reality of the human being, trying to give
the human being an understanding
of what the essence is made off or how Allah subhanaw taala
designated them so that we can get some value for ourselves and we
can try to understand the pitfalls in life and what would be going in
the wrong wrong direction, and what we'd be in sha Allah the
right direction. So the translation of that is, he puts
you in the intermediary world, he placed the human being in the
intermediary world, in between his kingdom and his realm.
That means between the milk and the motherhood, this concept of
Mallacoota summer where it will Earth Malika Sama, they use the
Quran as well. And there's several concepts like this, which are
generally used by spiritual scholars to talk about various
different spiritual and Corporal realities. What that basically
means simply is that everything that you can see around us,
everything which is perceptible, that you can see, you can feel you
can touch you can smell, basically the world around us, including
ourselves, our physical selves, our flesh and blood, and
everything that we can touch. And we can see that is all part of the
milk of Allah, that is all part of the milk of Allah, which means
that it's all part of Allah's physical creation realm. So
everything that we can see that is all referred to as milk. So
everything that tape tells us that Allah exists, that shows us that
there is life around us, all of this is the milk of Allah, then,
of course, we understand that there is the invisible realm,
things that we cannot see. Like the angels, for example, as a
Muslim, our belief is, is in the angels. That is called the
spiritual realm. And many have said that this is what is referred
to as the mother coot. So it's kind of milk wording. Motherhood
comes from the same root letters from milk. But it's kind of a more
intense, profound idea of it. So it's the world that you cannot
see, but you know, it exists. So the medical route is the spiritual
realm. Now, there are other ways that the orlimar have explained
this and used it also, right. One is what it means in the Quran. And
then after that, what how various different spiritual scholars have
divided the world into the Moroccan Amala codes, and then
some add the Jebel route as well. But we're not going to get
confused by that right now. Because what we're speaking about
is a very simple idea here, what he was referring to, is, the human
being is between the created world of physical flesh and blood, and
everything that they see around them, but they also have an aspect
that is not seen. That is a spiritual aspect, like that of the
angels, that's the mother could aspect. That is you can you can
say, the spiritual realm, the spiritual dimension, whereas the
Mulk is the physical dimension. So hopefully you've understood these
two ideas. And so he says that he puts you ie the human being, in
this intermediate halfway world in between worlds, between his
kingdom. That is how he translates Mulk his physical kingdom and his
realm, which is the spiritual realm, to teach you the majesty of
your rank.
Why did he place you there?
so that you will understand that I am not purely physical,
physical beings, animate or inanimate, and
I am not fully spiritual, I mean between the two, to teach you the
majesty of your rank among His created beings, and that you are a
jewel, wherein the pearls of his creation are hidden.
I will translate that slightly different from Victor Danis
translation.
So, Joe Hara to and he says Joe hauraton is a,
a pearl,
a jewel or a pearl, pearls come in oysters. And in Arabic the word
solder for us the US death, which is the plural of sadef, is
actually oysters. So, I think what he's saying here, and according to
the commentary as well, is that you are a pearl,
that all of these things surrounding you are like the
oyster, so you basically are in the midst of an oyster, all of
these things that you see outside of you are like the oyster, and
you are the pearl. So when you find oysters, your main objective
of an oyster, the most valuable part of an oyster is actually the
purlins side. So this is to show that Allah placed you between
these two worlds, to show you that all of this is at your disposal,
that is all your oyster. And for you, you are the pearl. That's one
way of understanding it. The other way to understand it is as he
says, which is he created the created beings that you are a dual
wherein the pearls of his creation are hidden, because that's also
true, that the pearls of Allah's creation are hidden inside you.
It's just that linguistically speaking, that is a bit more
different to fit onto the Arabic but Allah knows best. So what does
all of this mean? Simply what it means in simple terms before I
explained in detail is that Allah subhanaw taala has not made us
fully just flesh and blood as all other animals as, or just an
inanimate solid object made of some kind of substance and
material, various different atoms, as he's made, what you see around
you. Likewise, Allah hasn't made you an angel, right? Angels are
very spiritual creations made of light, and they cannot sin. Allah
subhanaw taala placed in a realm between the two, he made us
superior to human beings, and he made us close to angels. So we can
gain that kind of purity. And the whole idea is that Allah subhanho
wa Taala wants to give you a special position, Allah has given
you a special position. And when a human being begins to understand
the value of that, that's when they really understand the value
of how Allah subhanaw taala the purpose for which Allah subhanaw
taala has created them. So
Allah Most High most mighty, most majestic, most majestic has
created this human being this insane and he has essentially made
him you can say the essence of the entire universe microcosm of the
entire universe. What that means is, there is no other creature in
the world, there is no other creation of Allah subhana wa Tada
in whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has combined so many different
things is the human being who is combined so many different things
in there. That's why as you said, you have the monkey in you, and
you have the Maluku in you, you have the physical aspects within
us. And you will also have the spiritual aspects within within
you from both worlds. You have light within you and you have
darkness within you. And that means some people are dark in
terms of their behavior, in terms of their thoughts, in terms of
their heart, dark as the Prophet sallallahu sallam said that every
time you do a sin, then there's a black dot that appears in the
heart. So there's darkness in there. There's also the light in
there from the nature of Allah, the light of Allah, the vicar of
Allah will provide light, you will start feeling better, you will
start thinking better, you'll start being more positive, less
negative, you will start feeling closer to Allah, the light will
take you actually closer to the Mallacoota realm, the spiritual
realm. Whereas, if we focus on the darkness, then we will remain
remain in the darkness is of the milk. Likewise, Allah subhanaw
taala has placed within us the Raven, the shahada, there are the
unseen aspects that we can sometimes relate to that we can't
sometimes even understand why we think certain things at certain
times, where these thoughts come from and so on. Likewise, we have
many things which are predictable and absorb observable through us.
Likewise, he is placed within us many examples and samples and a
microcosm like a small representation of the world
outside us. When you look outside there's a tree. Now we have growth
on our bodies. We have hair that grows right like the grass, the
trees, the fertility of the outside. Likewise, there are
are rivers within us there is blood coursing through our veins,
there are these are the various different streams and other things
of this world. So likewise, whatever you see outside, there's
a small miniature representation of that contained within the human
being. Likewise, Allah subhanaw taala has given us power and
energy and ability. And he's also put into us wisdom, understanding,
sagacity. Likewise, Allah has given us perception, but he's also
given us substance that you cannot perceive, perceive perceptible
substance and non observable such substance. So, the human being, oh
human being, understand that Allah subhanahu wa taala, has made you
like an intermediate, a hybrid world of these of these kinds of
realms, whereas outside there only one or the other, you human being
are unique. And you are a combination, a hybrid, a
confluence of both of these things. That's one way to
understand it. Another way to understand this, is that Allah
subhanahu, WA, tada has placed us, not in terms of the microphone
that's agreed that we have both aspects within us. But he's also
placed us in between
this world of just forms, so we're a form. But we're not just a pure
form, we have substance within us, which is that we have the unseen
aspects within us, that make us the human beings that we are,
we're not just inanimate or animate forms that don't have an
internal feeling and sense and things like that.
So we have the spiritual world within us as well. And likewise,
we have the form. So you're not just a perceptible form, you're
not just an outer shell. Right? So then you become like,
these hard surfaces and hard objects, or that you become like
the animals who just perform a certain function. And likewise,
neither are you entirely angelic, that you are just like the angels.
But Allah subhanaw taala has made you a combination between the two,
so that Allah subhanho wa Taala can
manifest his great
abilities and excellences within you, Allah has chosen the human
being, to demonstrate all of these things, to provide that amazing
creation ability, the manifestation of it. That's why
out of all the creatures of the world as Allah subhanaw taala
says, In the Quran in surah, Al Baqarah, That we are going to make
a Halifa, a representative, our representative on the earth and we
want them to act the way we want them to do, they will be our best
representative. They can surpass many ideas, right? That we're
going to fill out of the Khalifa, we're going to place a vice chair
and on this earth, that's where Allah subhanaw taala chose the
human being. Then after that Allah subhanaw taala told the human
beings to take the responsibility
as Allah mentions will hammer the * in son, in our ordinal, Amana
to Allah subhana wa T will not
the heavens in the heavens and the earth. They refuse to take the
responsibility they didn't.
The human beings took it well, hemella Hill in sun, the humans
took it thereafter that Allah subhanaw taala showered his huge
bounties upon you.
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala will grant you paradise and will
give you the ability to see him and benefit from the beatific
vision in the hereafter. So essentially human beings then in
terms of whether they're fulfilling this aspect of this, or
they forgotten it, and they're not focusing on it, there are two
aspects and we're just talking about believers right now, the
believers are in two sections with in this regard. So you've got the
one section of believers on whom the humaneness meaning the animal
nature has dominated the angelic and spiritual state state. So
they're more just animal than they are angelic and spiritual.
So their milk has dominated the Maluku.
And the darkness is dominating over their light. So that means
they're going to just remain in the darkness is the inanimate
nature, the stillness, the they're going to remain within the
redundancy of the objects of this world. Like this piece of wood,
that this is made of the paper that this is written on. The these
are used for other purposes. They don't have any purpose of their
own. They don't have facility of their own faculty of their own to
subjugate anything else to make take things under their control to
take things from other things. They're there to serve purpose for
others.
And likewise, with human beings, if you if we become like that,
that's basically then we're just serving a purpose for something
else, for the shaytaan, or for others. So that means when the
darkness overcomes the light, and so on. So in that case, we will
actually remain within the darkness is in the redundancies of
the other objects of this world. And then, because of that, because
there's no angelic side that we're trying to increase, we're going to
be prevented from actually having any spiritual experience. That's
why if they do pray, sometimes there's no benefits. That's why
when they do remember ALLAH, sometimes it makes no, it doesn't
make much of a difference. They can't feel the pleasure sometimes
not that we should do think or to feel the pleasure. But at least
feel the emotion in our hearts. So we're doing it for Iman,
all of this become unraveled, they just don't feel like doing
anything. This is, of course, in this, you're going to have various
different levels, there's going to be people who are on the lower end
of this, where I feel absolutely nothing that the darkness have
dominated them nearly completely, except that they're not careful.
And then there's those others who do better. But most of the time
they darkness over and they still have demons in their hearts.
They're still represented in their heart by by, by various different
creatures, for example, while they're not dogs, or pigs, or
cows, or camels, or or donkeys, their state of their heart
represents that. And that's why there are certain traditions which
tell us that in the Hereafter, that is how certain people will be
appearing on the Day of Judgment, as cats or dogs or something
depending on the thoughts of the heart.
Remember, the heart is our most important aspect.
Thereafter, there are those who have kind of gone beyond that. And
these are the people whose spirituality is dominant over the
so called flesh, and the corporeal nature, so while they still body
and flesh exactly like somebody else, you wouldn't be able to tell
the difference. They're still perfect human beings is normal
people observe it, but they have a very strong, angelic side, the
hearts are pure, the light has dominated the darkness, the
darkness is very less, very less, if any, the light has dominated.
So all of these things have done with them, mother could aspect,
right, which Allah created them between has dominated them Mulk
aspects that the spiritual state has actually overcome the physical
states. But that doesn't mean that they they're not physical anymore.
Remember that
these are going to be the electrons, these are going to be
the owner of Allah subhanaw taala. And the only way to get this is to
read more about Allah and get to know him more, and do some vicar
and do a read and engage oneself in remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala these are the people they only going to get this by making a
special effort to subdue the enough to subdue the desires of
the heart because all the desires, the vain desires, the egotistical
desires, the material desires, the desires of the lowly self, they
all take you more on to the, the worldly, the purely worldly,
physical state, the animalistic states. And the more we resist
that, and the more we remember Allah and do good things, for
others think well think positively, and try to be good.
All of that takes us to the more spiritual realm.
So among these people as well, there's going to be various
different ranks. So among these people, you're going to have
obviously those who are, you can say, the,
the champions, right, who have become very close to Allah
subhanaw taala, there are those who are catching up, they're still
beloved to Allah subhanaw taala. And each one of them is going to
be there based on his sincerity, everybody's there, according to
his sincerity with Allah subhanaw taala and the love that they have
for him, it's all based on that. So ultimately, to gain a love of
Allah subhanaw taala that you're just constantly obsessed with
thinking about Allah and wanting to do something for him, that is
the only way to do this. So the way if not, Allah has explained
this, he makes it seem the way he's explained it, because he said
that he placed you in the intermediary world between his
kingdom and his role. This is a bit of a linguistic and technical
definition basically, the way he said it is Allah placed us we as
a, as a in between of this world and that world, which means that
we're neither from this world or No, are we from that world? So
we're like a third entity. That's one entity all the physical realm
is one entity, the spiritual realm is another entity. And we are
actually a third independent
that run between the two made up of both of them or maybe not made
up above them but but definitely in between the two. So that's what
the author's that's what this wisdom seems to indicate. So
according to ignore IG Bahama Dibner, Mohamed El IG but IG have
no idea about Hassani. In his commentary, he says that while
that's what the shake seems to say,
what's the reality really, is that we're not an independent world of
that, and this, we're actually part of both worlds. So there are
only two worlds in that sense. And we're actually a combination of
those two worlds. Right? At the end of the day, that's just to
kind of give an accurate understanding. And he basically
says that,
that is our general understanding because ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada, we
get the idea of that.
Or are the let's say that were made up of both of them. As the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, regarding himself in
a hadith says container B and the MOBA in Alma II, what team that I
was a prophet when other molybdenum was still between water
and soil, or dirt. Right? So it's a hybrid of the two. That's what
we are at the end of the day. And at the end of the day, the
spiritual scholars, they have a lot of elusive texts, a lot of
indications, a lot of symbolism. So Allah subhanho wa Taala knows
best what else even Otto Allah is meant by this. But the reality is
that we are not a third world entirely speaking like that we're
not a third creation, we're actually a creation between these
two major aspects of the dunya. So
all of that now, what's the purpose of this? So as if not,
Allah says, Leo I limiter to teach you about your very high position
between all the other creation of Allah. There's no other creation,
as I said, that's made up of both of these that has so many
different aspects of both of these realms, fit into them and brought
into them and that's where Allah subhanho wa Taala says in Surah Al
Israa Welaka Khurana buddy Adam. Well look at Corona bunny Allah
Muhammad, Allah whom Phil Bara and so on, we have ennobled. We have
honored the Children of Adam Alehissalaam. We've honored the
Children and Family Salaam in this way. Another one is as Allah
subhanaw taala says is what Tina was a tune Surah 218 locode hala
canal insaan v x Anita cwieme. We created the human being in the
best of forms best of stashes in the best of ways and descriptions.
And this is exactly what it is.
That Allah subhanaw taala has given us both of these things. So
what does Allah want to teach us from this, if we can just
understand this, what Allah wants to teach us, Allah wants to teach
us that uneca Joe Hara to Nephi certain,
right? That you are a very valuable pearl. And you are within
a very valuable oyster.
Right. And now you're going to understand this from a saying in
English that explain to you so the entire created world of Allah
subhanho wa Taala is your oyster.
From the harsh to the land, to the Earth that we stand on. All of
this is basically for you to benefit from, to use, utilize, and
to get to Allah subhanho wa Taala using, they are a bounty for you,
they are a tool for you, they're an instrument for you. And they're
the way that you can actually ascend to great heights. Now, it
gives a whole totally different idea of all of the things around
us at our disposal. So for example, he says,
human being, you are like, you can say like a Ruby, we take a
specific you are like a Ruby in its oyster. Right? Because look,
the Earth, the ground below us, it carries us, right, it's made for
us to carry us, the heavens, It shields us. It provides a shelter
for us, the various different directions the east, the West, the
South, the North, that is what surrounds us, and keeps us from
going beyond keeps us from falling off keeps us from going. Going
beyond basically it's extensive. But at the end of the day, there's
a limitation to it. Thereafter that there's other things on this
earth like the animals, the beasts, they're there to either
serve you, or they're there as a bounty for you so that you can
consume them as food and your sustenance thereafter that you
have other solid objects which are there to protect you to defend
you, to contain you, to give you warmth to protect you from the
harshness of the sun, right the rays, the glaring rays of the sun
or the harshness of the cold as in the buildings that you live in.
So all of this thing is to serve you, there's no other animal that
is served in these ways, by everything around us, the very
animals we're speaking about, they serve human beings, they're there
for our benefit. So you are a human being in between all of
this, you're in the middle of all of this, then you have all of
these stars and celestial, the celestial realm, all of these
planets and other things, which surround you which are going
around you, They adorn the skies that you look up at. Thereafter,
there is the sun and the moon, which provides you with the light,
right, which illuminates this very world that you live in, that's the
source of light for you. So, you are the pearl, in that oyster, you
are the pearl in all of these ices.
You are the essence of this entire universe, you are the most
important, everything revolves around you. So now you get a good
meaning another meaning of the world is your oyster. Right?
That's an English thing. And it basically means that the world is
your oyster, which means that it's all of value to you, you the idea
of it is either
in terms of wealth or in terms of influence or whatever the case is.
And it means that you can basically do anything, right you
can do anything. And apparently this this phrase was actually
first coined apparently by William Shakespeare, right in, in the in
the Merry Wives of Windsor, right. So this one of the characters
Falstaff says, I will not
learn the a penny. So then pistol he referred, he replies, why then
the world's mind oyster
which I which sewed
we will open. So that's obviously all English, but the world is your
oyster. This is a whole new meaning given to that. The world
is your oyster in reality because Allah has created us such you can
go and you are the valuable one in there. Everything is at your
disposal. Everything is subsidiary, everything is
supplementary for you and auxilary
that's why I will Abbas al merci Rahim Allah, He says acquire new
Kulu ha habido Sahara, all beings, all creative beings, are just
subjugated
slaves and servants of Allah subhanaw taala. Well, under Abdul
Hydra, you're also a servant, but you're a servant, who can actually
get into the presence of Allah who has an audience with Allah who has
value in the sight of Allah in a different way you can actually
achieve everything else has a certain value with Allah and
that's it remains the same, but you have infinite value that you
can get closer and closer to Allah subhanaw taala.
That's why it's mentioned in certain books, that oh son of
Adam,
I've, it's as if Allah is speaking instead of Allah is telling us
through everything he's created around us that Oh, my servants or
other man Oh, Children of Adam, I've created everything for you.
Because you, I mean, we've gotten to the moon, we've gotten to Mars,
we've gone to other planets, it's a possibility in in, maybe, maybe
soon all of this thing is for you. I've created all of this for you.
And then I've also created but I've created you for me. So we are
for Allah, He wants to see us doing good deeds. So for Allah
Testa will be ma Hua laka I'm an Angela who don't get too occupied
with what we've created for you, from whom you've been created for.
So the world has been created for you, but you've been created for
Allah. So you focus on who you've been created for by using what's
been created for you, but don't make what you've been created for
as your main objective.
That's why it's obviously mentioned regarding one of the
wonders of the human being, is that the entire universe and
everything that is in existence, is actually found rolled up within
the human being. So we are essentially you can say, a
specimen of the entire universe. If you look around with a specimen
of the entire universe, and that's a very profound understanding.
That's why I will Abbas and mercy also says Yatta even FEMA Mateen,
ancillary under tagit vehicle would you do? Would you there be a
three until Kamalu 30 Cotton hockey cotton? Ja, Jeremy and
several ILA he'd be sad, saying that. Why are you wandering around
a one who's just wandering around bewildered? Right? Who doesn't
have any idea about the secret of why he's been created? If you look
carefully and deeply as to who you are, you will actually find
inside you everything that everything especially
seeming of everything around you, you are basically in reality the
most perfect being there is of Allah subhanaw taala you are the
most perfect in reality.
So, he says, oh one who combines between all the secrets of Allah
the entire secrets of Allah, Allah has placed them all in you. So, in
turn the human being is essentially a specimen of the
entire universe or you can say the small cousin, the small, the small
universe you can say within them and you will remain small and part
of the small you will remain part of the normal creation of Allah
subhanaw taala until your spiritual state does not overcome
your human your flesh and blood and your animalistic state and
your real substance does not overcome your general just
physical body and your light doesn't overcome your light. Now,
if your spiritual state does overcome
your normal human animalistic state and the light over that,
then that is when
you will have dominated the world. That is when you have essentially
subjugated everything around you the way it should be, as Allah
subhanaw taala has made you want to be and that's why we hear in
the stories of the Olia how exactly they treated the world as
nothing. It didn't make a difference to them what they had
and what did they not had as long as they had Allah because they
were above they were above the whole idea.
In that case, then you will actually become the greater cosmic
state even though physically everything else is bigger than
you. But in reality, you will become the great universe within
yourself. That Allah subhanho wa Taala has put a specimen in you
for
and the rest of it will now become a specimen of you. You will become
the main aspect to dominate everything and everything else
will be subjugated for you and become your space your specimen.
That's why
IGNOU YBNL Thurid says we're in the we're in Kentucky we're in
Kentucky, the Mizzou rotten philosophy he man and share he
didn't be uber wealthy.
Even though in form I look like a normal human being, but I we have
substance I have substance in me that bears witness to, to my
forefathers and to my my the real purpose of what Allah subhanaw
taala has created. Sheikh Abdullah Ganga he explains the wisdom in
this way he says all mankind, Allah Most High has created you
have two entities, physical and spiritual.
So you're not a totally physical being. But no are you are totally
spiritual being like the angels. You are a creation in a state
between these two entities. Your intermediate status between the
physical and the spiritual is evident. That's basically the
concept of Vulcan Maluku, Allah Most High has created man between
the heaven and the earth.
All things on earth have been created for man's use and
benefits, and all things have been made subservient to men. If men
were only a physical creation,
he would have been like all other physical and worldly creatures, he
would then not have enjoyed superiority over them. Thus, it is
clear that the essential substance of his constitution is something
other than his physical matter. So we're not just our physical
matter, we're not just what we can feel and touch
and see of another person by virtue of his special spiritual
essence. Man enjoys superiority over all other creations.
Otherwise, other animals eat like we do.
They procreate like we do, they drink like we do, they sleep like
we do. So what makes us different,
why they made subservient to us is because of the angelic, the
Rouhani, the spiritual side of things. That special substance is
his relationship with the spiritual realm. That's what
allows us that spirituality is what allows us to be connected to
align that way.
Allah Most is created man also a microcosm. He is an embodiment of
all existing creation consisting of lofty and lowly attributes and
our physical and spiritual substances.
So humans have blameworthy attributes have praiseworthy
attributes, we have to try to subdue the blameworthy ones, we
could be challenged by them, and we need to augment and enhance the
the lofty ones. He is thus physical and spiritual at the same
time, he is earthly, as well as heavenly. On the one hand, he
possesses the angelic qualities of intelligence Gnosis and
Worship, like the heavens, he is a substance for mysteries and a
celestial light. His heart is the abode of divine unveiling, because
he can receive divine light basically. On the other hand, he
has the capability of misleading others and also being misled
himself. He also has the attribute of rebellion and transgression if
he wants to, if allow shaytaan and enough to overcome then he will
become rebellious and transgressing. These are the
animal and satanic attributes within him. In his state of anger,
he becomes like a lion. When lust dominates him, he is like a pig.
And in the state of greed and adversity, he is like a dog when
he deceives, and he is a fox. So his growth and development are
like are like that of the trees. So where we start with a small
seed
in the mother's womb, it's different, but it's the same thing
you we grow, just like a tree grows, like the ground is both
hard and soft,
both in our temperament, and both in terms of our physic.
In short, man incorporates within him samples of every creation. It
is for this reason that he is described as a microcosm or the
little world and as the perfect substratum and as the perfect
substratum of the manifestation of the entire creation, entire
creation can be understood from the human being.
The aim underlying man's all embracing constitution is for him
to realize why do we have why are we such a complete creation like
this combining all of these things, is that Allah wants us to
realize the significance that He's given us and made us with and how
we're superior to all other creation, which means that we do
not become like other creatures, we do not fall to that low, he
will realize from his very concise Constitution, that he is a
priceless pearl that embraces all aspects of the creation. When he
has recognized this reality he will not destroy himself by
involvement in disobedience to his master and creator, and he will
maintain himself on the lofty and magnificent plane on which Allah
Most AI has created him. And the sole method for this is to have
perpetual obedience to Allah, the Creator and abstention from all
forms of transgression and sin. So we ask Allah to make that easy for
us.
Allah subhanho wa Taala make us
understand our value. And may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
transcend between beyond this darkness and the animalistic
nature of this world, the one side that were made from and allow us
to go beyond onto the other side and let that side dominate,
dominate of the spiritual world and the angelic world. And may
Allah subhana wa Tada give us death in a state where our
goodness dominates our evil. And we need to be worried about this,
especially once we get beyond the age of 40. Because then it becomes
more difficult to shift because people become more settled in
their ways.
That's a time not to say that if you're younger than that, you
don't try you have to otherwise it gets very difficult to change the
older you get. So the sooner we make a difference, the better will
be in the long run. Because we set ourselves on the honorable path of
the spiritual path may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
remember him abundantly. And may Allah subhanho wa Taala allow
allow us to dominate our darkness. Welcome to Dawa and Al hamdu
