Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam ala so you didn't know Salim. While he was sabiki or
Baraka was unlimited Sleeman Kathira en el Iommi been Ummah
buried.
For the next several sessions, what I'm going to be covering is
a description and detail of what
the soul Wolf is all about what Sufism is supposed to be all
about.
There's obviously a lot of misunderstanding and confusion
about the soul of Sufism, spirituality Teskey, or however
you want to call it, despite the fact that it's such an important
part, meaning the essence of it is such an important part of any
Muslims life. Without it, you can't really reach Allah because
it's all about two things. One is connecting yourself to Allah
purifying the heart, purifying the heart, also to inter interact with
others. So to develop our clock with others and develop, develop
our clock with ourselves and Allah subhanaw taala. And nobody can
deny that that's essentially the core of it. But unfortunately,
there's a lot of misrepresentation.
You see, if you've got a teacher who teaches Hadith, or who teaches
Tafseer, or to teach his jurisprudence,
then
there's not as much room for abuse within that teaching or within
that environment of students teacher relationship.
But when you've got a
teacher of somebody who's seen as a teacher of the soul of
spirituality, in which you have to have a very close relationship,
and a lot of the time you actually
end up in order to correct ourselves, we end up revealing
things about ourselves to teach, there has to be a very strong
relationship, it's a proper interaction.
To get to get something out of it, there has to be an interaction.
To have a shake, you need to be able to interact with them, just
to go and take bait, or with somebody great that you never see
again, or that you just see from afar. Well, you get a bit of
Baraka with that. But
you don't have that same connection, you need to be with
somebody that you can speak to, and then somebody that can respond
to you, because of that close relationship. And because there's
going to be a lot of love engendered within that.
There's a lot of room for abuse.
And the abuse is that
people who are in that position, they may take advantage of those
people who have come to them,
the position of being respected and revered, and people
coming to you confiding in you being at your service and helping
you
can sometimes get to you.
Motives can change intentions can change.
And because of the abuse that has taken place,
within that
sometimes the soul ends up getting a bad name.
Because of the problems that have become part of it, unfortunately,
in places,
not just that, in order to keep people coming.
People then innovate
popular practices, things that work. Okay, let's add a bit of
this so that people will come in, I mean, look at the Christians,
right. I remember reading an article once that they're having
these kinds of pop concerts, you know, in churches and so on to
attract the youth.
So, you then try to justify the means by the end, and thinking
that okay, if this brings in more people, then let us say that this
is permissible as well. So there's a lot of room for abuse in this as
has happened. And over the centuries as well. Things have
gone wrong, people are being criticized and Sufis are being
criticized. And so he's been defended. But otherwise, it's
actually essentially just goes down to the purity of religion.
That's really what it is. So what I want to do today, a lot of the
time, I mean, if I'm to ask you today, right, how many of you have
heard of the soul for Sufism?
Right. I mean, I would say, at least, most of you, majority of
you have heard of this over Sufism.
How many of you have actually studied it in any kind of formal
sense?
Where you've actually covered a textbook written by a great
scholar, or one of the great scholars of the past that detail
what it's all about? What are the prerequisites of it? What are the
conditions for it, what are the benefits of it? What is the
subject matter of it, you know, as a proper science, hardly anybody
I mean, I didn't study it for a very long time.
So that's why anybody can tell you whatever it is, especially if
you're kind of a bit broken bit soft, are you a bit depressed, you
need some help with something, maybe you've just lost your job,
maybe you've just lost a loved one. And then you're looking for
that, you know, you're looking at somebody's taking your income to
the shake, this is great shake this lot. This happens that
happens.
So because of the fact that unfortunately, some people have
abused this position, it's been given a bad name. We want to set
the record straight, we want to, I want to cover the soul from one of
a great scholar that I respect. He was a Maliki scholar from Egypt's
I've actually been visited. He's he's actually buried behind the
the jungle as far right as the university is actually buried
behind buried. Actually, no, he's not very, yes, he is. He's very
good. That's right. And his name is Sheikh Ahmed, even know
Muhammad Allah either way, but more well known as Imam that,
indeed, that was what he was well known as. And this is from his al
Qaeda, Al Bahia, which is essentially a book on this book on
Aqeedah. So he's written this great text anarchy data. It's a
poem with a commentary. And at the end of it, he's got a section that
talks about Sufism, so what exactly it is, and now I want you
to listen carefully to this and see if any of this is
questionable. You'll find that there's nothing in this is
supposed to be here to solve anything beyond that is not the
safe.
So he starts off and he says that
well, how they shouldn't I mean, who somehow hula hoops or if you
find it the soul of a lady who are hired to collude,
this is the beginning. This is his beginning May Allah pardon him May
Allah Most like Pong and he was talking about himself actually,
because he writes the poem at the top in which is unclear on mindig
Rehabil Adobe thermocol beha Turca we have a victory at the router be
such a wonderful poem, for Karen min Vickery, Habil, Adobe
thermocol, behind the decree or Allah Ruby, which means you need
to abundantly remember him but with etickets abundantly remember
Allah but with the with etickets. And by this, you will ascend by
this remembrance, you will ascend to the highest of stations and
positions. So he's now commenting on that. And he says that the poet
which is himself essentially as he's writing his commentary, as
the third person to this poem is very interesting. Right? So he
says that may Allah have mercy on him, he starts to discuss the
subject of the soul, which is the life of the hearts so right off he
explains the soul as being the life of the heart. It's a it's a
it's a spiritual nourishment, basically.
rotable who are Allah MADI fatty, aka aidil Iman,
he says that he brought in after discussing all of the articles of
faith because remember, this is a book on Aqeedah primarily Liana
hula you I'm gonna say it ilaha illa bear the Mardi Fatiha. He's
talking about the reason why he's, he's mentioned this at the end of
an Akita section Aqeedah book, because after the beliefs creed is
all about trying to recognize Allah and know Him.
Now basically adding this on at the end, he's trying to say that
this is the now the practical way to actually now get to Allah
subhanaw taala now that you've learned about Allah, what you
should believe about Allah and His messenger and what you what you
shouldn't believe about Allah and His messenger, what is correct to
believe what is necessary to be now I want to show you the way to
get to Allah, which is through the practice of the soul.
Right, the practice of Sufism, so this is, for the first time for
most of us, right? We're going to do a formal study of what the soul
is all about. So he says, 30 with the soul, the definition of the
soul, had the soul fear element
is who or ailment we are sold in Europe will be his Salah who will
be was it will help us. He is going to define the soul in two
ways he is going to define the soul as a science, then he's going
to define the soul as a practice. Right? This is very interesting.
The soul for the science is the knowledge of those principles by
which
by which the soundness of the heart can be recognized, and the
soundness of all other parts of your body, the soundness of all of
your other senses. By this knowledge, you will be able to
figure out how to make sound the heart and how to make sound all of
our senses, our eyes, our hearing, our
touching, etcetera. That's what the CIO seeks to tell us what to
do what is right and what is wrong in gaining soundness of the heart
to get a call wound study.
In. In practice, though, he says why men who will loop will
outwards, meaning more out wished enablement he yards in terms of
practice, it is to adopt the most precocious way in everything that
has been ordered.
So everything that has been ordered, and sometimes you may say
that, Oh, there's this and there's that I'm confused which one to
take this one is more, he says take the most precocious one.
To adopt the most precocious position in everything, watch the
enablement here and to abandon that those things which are
forbidden. And then he says, Well episode, we're gonna do reality
middle mobile hat. So we know that one of those things that we are
obligated to do, so we must do those. And we must do the most
precocious one in those things, even if there's a difference of
opinion. And then he says, those things which have been prohibited
completely abandon them. And then all of those things which are
permitted, MOBA, the neutral permitted, only do those as much
as is necessary. Only do of that whatever is essential.
So for example,
you can eat as long as it's halal, you can eat, but only eat as much
as is essential.
Don't eat too much.
speaking to somebody is permissible, but only speak to
somebody as much as is essential. So in everything that is generally
seen as permitted, while Deuce do it if it's necessary. Now, I know
this is a very high standard, right? Don't get put off by this.
It is just to get us away from the distractions that we already have
to at least get us somewhere closer. May Allah give us Sophia.
So that is the definition both from a scientific perspective, but
from a technical perspective, and from a practical perspective,
where you call and he says, Look, it's also said some people have
also defined it as follows. Who will do his Saluki Illa, medical
MOOC.
This is to exercise absolute seriousness, this is to be
serious, firmly resolute.
In trying to
follow the path to the King of all kings. That's another way of
putting it to be serious and to say bus. That's it. I just want to
follow the path to my Lord, the King of all kings. Yet there's
another you see, because for everybody who's gotten into this,
and who's experienced the benefits of it, everybody's going to
describe it in different way.
Because this is how they see it. And they all correct, right, none
of these contradict each other. They're just different ways of
looking at it.
Where you kind of have don't have a see one more or two unforeseen.
Right. So this fourth definition says that this is protecting your
senses, guarding your senses, and guarding your every breath.
What am I doing with? How do you guard your breath? Breath in
breathing is spontaneous. The only time you actually become conscious
of your breath is when you've got a breathing problem. Otherwise,
who thinks of their breath? Pray the only time that you actually
think you're breathing is when you've got a breathing problem.
You can't breathe properly or when you're trying not to breathe
because you're hiding somewhere you don't want anybody who
otherwise when would you think about your bread? So the ideas
it'd be so conscious of yourself that Allahu Akbar that we never
set a foot wrong Allah help us, Allah help us, Allah help us. I
pray to Allah does on empty words, that he make these a reality for
all of us.
Well, Marina motorcar says that all of these have a similar
meaning all of these definitions have a similar meaning. Okay, well
higher to
what what is, what is the objective? Because, you know, when
you study a science, they generally are being what is
objective? What are your
What did they say that outcomes? What did he use in this modern
education, language? These are the outcomes. These are your key
stages, I get really troubled by all of these school terms that
they use because they seem so foreign. Right? They weren't they
my time when I was studying at school, this is all new now.
You know, it's, you're in year six, you're in year nine, just
tell him what age you are man.
I get confused with these things. So, I have a problem with them.
Anyway, he says the subject matter is a logical Muhammadiyah mean
hated the whole leukemia.
What is what what will you achieve if you do this?
What is the final goal right one of those goals sorry, one of his
higher the higher is sallahu. wasa it will help us with Dounia while
photos will be parallel Marathi bifilar Aqua what the objective
that you will gain the the result that you will have from this is
sound
wholeness of the heart, and all of your senses in the dunya because
that's what we need in the dunya the heart to be sound, and the
senses to be sound, but in the hereafter to win to be a champion
of the highest levels of the Hereafter
to basically attain the highest levels of the Hereafter that is
what we will be promised, we are promised if you do this, okay,
what is it subject matter then what do you have to work on? What
is the subject matter of medicine?
The human body I guess, right biology,
what is the subject matter matter of grammar?
Language. So, what is the subject matter of the soul of Sufism?
He says Allah called Mohamed El Amin hated the Leukemia, the
Muhammad and characteristics Muhammad and character the sublime
character, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.
But not just as a study of how great the Prophet salallahu Salam
was, look how great his characters, that's not the subject
matter. The subject matter is how do we become imbibed with that
character. So it's essentially the human being the human body, the
human characteristic, the human psyche, the human behavior, that's
the subject matter of how we can implement that a flock of Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Now, there's a few terms in terms that he clarifies because you
know, once you get into the solf, and you start reading the books of
to solve and you start listening to the scholars after so they're
going to be talking about tariqa. Right? Which study guide you in
fact, if you go to Turkey today, they don't just ask you what month
have you or they say a DECA like Western ego you have which order
to solve Sufi odo. Right? So what a study come in, then of course,
we know the word Sharia. So what's the difference between Polycom and
Sharia? And then there's another word Hachiko. Right? These are the
US How will he is he the saw, he will Hachiko? He's a he's a
purpose of reality. So Haqiqa means reality. Sharia generally
means sacred law. And tariqa means a path. But he's going to describe
how these terms are related from a Sufi context. Right? So those who
are listening and who've who've been basically until now, we've
always thought the self is a bad thing. And Sufism is like an evil
and it's a bitter and it's a shipwreck and you know, all the
all the rest of it that generally you find online that people say
right, people who are to me don't understand it, they say, Oh, they
see the bad to solve, and they say that, I want you to open your mind
and just bear with me until we finish this off, then make your
judgment. Right, because a lot of the time, this is the exact thing
that we're saying to non Muslims in this country. We're saying that
you are judging Muslims by the few people who do crazy acts. Have you
ever read the Quran? Have you ever read the hadith of rasool Allah,
the Prophet, messenger of allah sallallahu sallam? Have you ever
interacted with a good Muslim? They'll say no. So how can you
make that judgment? We all make that same mistake. When it comes
to other things, we probably make the same mistakes when it comes to
other religions. Other means we find like the worst case scenario,
I remember, I read an article about something that some Jews or
Christians do, right, and I had that in my mind. So that the last
time I was actually with this group in an interfaith program,
and I had, you know, I had to make a discussion, I had to discuss
something. So I managed to cry. They say, No, that's just like
some extreme extreme people who do this. Nobody in the mainstream
believe that, or do that practice. It happens all over the place. And
we humans, we don't like somebody or somebody is different than as
soon as we hear something bad about them, we form an opinion
about them. This is what the majority of people do.
Unfortunately, not everybody is very scientific and reserves their
view, right, I only learnt it because I have to do counseling,
and somebody comes to you, and they tell you, the wife comes in,
she tells you about the husband, right. And if you've formulated an
opinion already, you're in trouble. Because when you take it
to the husband, you're already going to be biased. And then when
you actually listen to the husband, and you overcome your
bias, and you start getting biased on the other side them. Right. And
then you have to realize that the only time you actually get the
truth out is when you sit both of them together. Otherwise, when you
sit separately, listen to both parties, right? Whether in an
argument a mother and son, you know, mother and sister brother
and whatever, business partners, everybody pulls their side. They
don't tell you that. They don't they they exaggerate the truth of
it. If they don't outright lie. When you put them together, then
they can't do that. Then you can actually challenge each one then
it okay. Yeah. All right. I know what you mean. Right? It wasn't
that bad. So you have to you just can't don't take things out that
people tell you because
especially if it's about somebody else, it's unfair for us to
actually do that. But unfortunately, most people do
that.
So the difference he says under the soul free man and I'm a Puerto
Rico. He says the soul of inaction in a practical action that is the
Tariqa that's essentially the 30 Commons the path to Allah. So
Everything that you need to do specifically to be on that path,
and to progress on that path that is called Talica. It's the
practice of the self.
But practicing on this path can't be arbitrary. Can't be as you
wish, even if your so called shave tells you to do something.
That doesn't mean that it's that that doesn't mean it's correct.
You need to do with it. Sharia is part of the league as possible
because Sharia is the guiding light. So Sharia is what a machete
Alpha He'll calm will let you water that Annie Cherie Elmore
Akbar and Hubby, Dane, a bit been the sherry, then are those rulings
and commands that sacred law by which
which has basically come from the legislator from Allah and His
messenger, the law that has come from Allah and His Messenger,
which is generally referred to as the dean. That's the Sharia.
So essentially, it's telling us that tariqa is just following the
Sharia that essentially was telling us in it, that's what its
results in 30 Commons just to follow the Sharia Sharia laws,
then what is hockey? Reality? What is that? For here? A Serato?
Sharia? Those are the secrets of the Sharia. When a teacher to
tariqa, and the result of being on the path.
Now remember, when you make an effort in anything, don't you get
something? If you play football very well? Aren't you going to get
something out of it?
Right? You may even become so famous that people in the pubs of
Liverpool will start calling your name. Right? Because you're so
good at football.
And then they'll actually start invoking God,
whether they say
he came from Allah subhanaw taala. What is that Subhanallah in
anything that you make an effort, there's going to be a result that
comes from it, something's going to open up to you, when you stop
playing football very well, I'm assuming that you will actually
start understanding how it works. And you'll be able to become a lot
more controlled and better. Right? It's a complete ignorant person
that's speaking about football, by the way, right? You guys, I'm sure
many of you know much better know what I'm talking about. And that's
in anything. When you start studying a language, you start
understanding the nuances of each word in anything, it's like that.
So if you start diligently following the Sharia, you will
start seeing the fruits of it, you will start seeing the warmth of it
in your heart, the blessings of it will beautify you, and you will
start feeling it. That is when you really read when that's when a
person reaches the hot vehicle of faith, the reality of the faith.
Otherwise, we just we're just trying and following. But when you
actually follow properly with full sincerity, according to the other
that he has mentioned with abundant Viken, then you will
actually start feeling the reality of it. And that's why he says that
the Haqiqa is essentially the secrets that will come along the
way of your shady Sharia, that you will get from the Sharia, and this
will be the fruits of your tariqa. For here, Reuben one mirdif taslim
Kuru besides taking back the sofa II mean carotid taba il Berseria.
Now, this really tells us how you will achieve it. He says these are
this is the knowledge and the Gnosis, the awareness, the
cognizance that will
be realized by the heart of the Saudi theme that will be realized
by the hearts of those who are traversing this way, those who
have taken up this path after
those hearts have been cleansed and purified of all human, all
human nature or normal human weakness in nature. So this path
is essentially the way to cleanse ourselves of the normal human
failings.
Don't be quick to judge somebody. Right? Don't think evil of someone
don't have hatred in the heart. This is all the
dirt of the human nature that normally we become adulterated
with. Once that's cleanse, there's room for more positive things that
will come into mind. See negative people constantly think of
negative things. Once the heart is cleansed of negativity. Then in
sha Allah, a lot of positivity, a lot of spirituality, a lot of love
and warmth for Allah subhanho wa Taala will come about and then
this is where he basically hits the nail on the head. Now that
he's told us that Okay, so now we have an idea that we want to
follow this path. We want to get a Hachiko. We want to follow the
Sharia. But what is the fastest way to do this? What are shader
and Quran
This offer will kalbi, there is nothing more effective in
cleansing the hearts mean Kathy Vickery La ilaha illa, Allah,
there is nothing that is more effective in cleansing the hearts
than the abundant remembrance of la ilaha illa Allah but with the
other being, you can't just say la la, la la la la, but with the
other with the etiquette. ality of the Cara, Lulu here are the Allahu
Taala and home, which have been mentioned by the people of Allah,
those who have actually experienced that they can tell you
the best way to do this. Why do you have mentors?
You want you know, you want to go into a particular vocation, right?
You want to go into sciences, you want to go into medicine or
whatever, generally, you find a mentor somebody who's done it been
there, done that, right? They'll tell you Look, no, don't do it
that way, do this way. I know that it says that in the books. But
this is this is actually more effective. You know, for you, I
think you should do this one. So you basically go to somebody
experienced. That's the whole point of this. But unfortunately,
there's just so much abuse out there, right? That you just don't
know who to trust sometimes.
And to be honest, I It's probably you know, when you when you hear
the you know, you when you hear what the characteristics of a
mentor is supposed to be, you're gonna think that there's nobody
like that available. I mean, it's like prophets that you need
somebody. So then he says, Well, look, you just take the best
person you can find even if he's not perfect, because we need this.
That's what he's saying. But what he says basically is that, if you
do the Dhikr of Allah ilaha illallah, with the adab with the
etiquette that the people of Allah have mentioned, may Allah have
mercy on them, may Allah be pleased with them, then that will
be the most the most effective means for you to, to, to to
cleanse your heart, while metta Tara Kasady colada, oh ACARA bar
with ID Hill Rasulillah, Missouri.
Whenever he says, The seeker the aspirant the moods, right, the one
who's on the path, right? Whenever he abandons the adverb, the
etiquette or even a majority of the adverb, if he abandons him,
then attaining this objective is going to become very distant from
him, is going to become far fetched from him.
So the most important thing is to have the ad and the etiquettes to
get to Allah subhanaw taala.
Now, the next section basically discusses
the adverb of the
right. And what's interesting is that it tells you the other that
are the preliminary other, the prerequisites, these are the other
than the etiquette that you have to follow before you even sit to
do vicar.
And he mentioned several of them, that Coppelia, then he talks about
the adab that you need to have when you're doing vicar, and then
the third level.
Or the other idea that even after you finish the vicar, how do you
actually make sure you take the greatest benefit from it? How do
you essentially rinse out every part of it and not lose any of it?
Because when when you do take care of Allah, there's a lot of
movement that's taken place, which you can't see, how can you
actually benefit from that entire environment and take the most
benefit from it?
So he's got other for that as well.
So we stop here. And we'll, we'll do a maraca. But can you see so
far? Can you see anything questionable in any of this? I
mean, it seems to be quite straightforward. But as I told
you, in the beginning, that the position is such a position,
unlike teaching Hadith, or Quran or tafsir, or whatever, right,
that
it can be abused.
It can, in fact, it can become cultish because of very strong
links that you will build and then sometimes it can almost seem
cultish.
And then if if the sheikh says if the Sheikh is imbalanced to the
movie, it is unbalanced, what they may reveal or they may tell others
about it, or they may convey maybe actually misunderstanding,
misrepresent, there's just so much room here problems. That's why,
unfortunately, many people, a lot of people have actually just
written it off as something which is alien to Islam, and it's not.
And that's why we've got so much. I believe that that is one of the
reasons that we've got so much chaos out there in terms of
people, devoid of faith, people losing their faith. Because when
everybody's looking for delille for everything, right, and delille
and proof isn't easy to come by for every combine for everybody.
Not everybody is a scholar that they can go and check things up.
And you know, look into the large tomes and books. So then people
just
they're like, hey, you know, and then people just give up doing
things. Otherwise the people of the past pretty much I mean, they
say until the beginning of the 19th century, majority of the
countries in the world had had to solve the majority. I mean, that's
a survey that's done, that everybody has some level of the
Silverdome and of course you had the crops rounds, and then the
exotic ones, the majority ones in there as well. But pretty much
everybody was into it.
It's from the beginning of 19th century, right that we've had so
many problems we just living in a bad time. For some reason Allah
has brought us here so we ask Allah for helping this time in sha
Allah.
