Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala so you didn't know Celine while he
was off be he or Baraka was seldom at the Sleeman Cathedral in Iommi,
Dean mabank We were in the midst of discussing
we were in the midst of discussing the various different
Sufis of the past we started with we started with
Junaid Abul Qasim Junaid Al Baghdadi. We move on to a few
others. I'm just going to keep it brief, because there's so many
things that are mentioned about them. And we'll move on to say the
Ahmed he as he says say the Ahmed ignore referring
Imam Minogue says in his al Kawakubo Duryea Ramana is a very
famous scholar he
al kawaki, booty Fe monarchy, the Sufi basically he's got a book
that deals with all of the that basically deals with numerous
Sufis and he's discussing their biographies and so he says that
they say the AMA even though Rifai he's got some very interesting
incidents related about him. But he is Ahmed ignore it, ignore it,
ignore Yeah, ignore hasm Ignore defer. Zahid al Kabir, the major
ascetic
and I had an earlier al Masha here. One of the most one of the
one of the most famous earlier one of the famous Olia of Allah. Will
Abbas refer E. Al McGreevy. So he's Moroccan. He's Marguerite B.
His father came from Iraq. It looks like many people traveled
from Iraq and they went to different parts of the world. So
for example, Marina didn't just he was very famously well known in
the subcontinent. He also came from, though he's actually from
somewhere else he's from cherished, which is basically I
think, in Afghanistan or in hazzan. But he also came through
Baghdad, it looks like Baghdad is where people would go to be
mashallah endowed with some of these blessings from Allah
subhanho wa Taala because Baghdad has a lot of odia that are buried
there.
But that has a lot of odia that are buried and it's one city that
I haven't visited yet but sham has many Egypt has many but but that
is supposed to have a lot. It's got a world class evil genetic and
bug daddy, that is karma demeanor humble. It's got the mambo
Khalifa, it's got mouthful. querque He's got so many of the
great people there.
So, he, he was he came from Baghdad. And then he came to
Maghrib. And he that's where he stayed
in a place called Ardell, Bata.
That's he, his father had come to that area. So his father had come
from Baghdad. So he was born in that area, and that's where he was
born in about 500 Hijiri surrounding Imam Ghazali just
towards the end of his daddy's life, that's when he is around
there.
But remember by that time, because it was earlier probably left
Baghdad and he had retired to tus eventually towards the end of his
life in 505. When he died he had retired to do so which is quite
far from Baghdad because that's in Iran today, close to Michelle. So
he left Baghdad a while back.
But Sheikh Abdul Qadir jeelani is probably in Baghdad by this time,
but he's probably not that old yet. So this is when anyway, this
is when he is born. This say the Armada referring so that's where
he gets brought up.
Not in Baghdad, but in in order batboy. And he studied, became a
jurist on the month of Imam Shafi. So he's a Shafi apparently. And
then he started focusing on the south.
And he really, you see many people are focused on the self, but
there's very few, there's probably very few, which we're talking
about, who make the extra effort that's required to really excel.
And to really get through the various stages, we earlier covered
the various stages of the soul,
the seven different degrees of the soul, if you remember, so there's
few that would be able to really work hard to make sure that they
can raise the level to that. And obviously, these are the people
who did it. That's why they become very famous and very well known
because others have been able to benefit from them. That's, that's
what you really understand from here. So he really put in a lot of
effort to such a degree that he really
got a very in depth understanding of the sciences related to
spirituality, what they call our aluminum comb, and he he used to
give discourses it seems and he was able to really open up the
various different issues that were confusing
or that were difficult to understand he was able to do that.
And if you look in the subcontinent, one of the people
who are mashallah who have been blessed with this kind of work in
the recent times, because remember, this is fifth sixth
century we're talking about, but in the more recent times,
multinational Balaton, we Hakeem Aluma. He's been known for that.
And there's some several of his books that just amazing. And
because what he managed to do is he managed to again, because as
I've mentioned before, over time, within the orders, there's various
different things that creep in. People do different things,
because there's no cell, central regulatory body of any of the
orders. So anybody can literally claim what they want.
And people are looking for medicine of the heart, people are
looking for any medicine, so health, so medicine of the heart,
they will go to anybody that seems attractive.
So if we want more people here, we can probably start a few, you
know, interesting things and I'm sure we'd get a lot of people,
right. So there's nobody to regulate. So what Maharaja return
we did is that he managed to really sift out and to try to
focus on the main important ideas. I've seen it in different places.
I went to one place where I was in Ramadan, it was recommended to go
to one place for tarawih to a particular masjid, that was
organized by a certain order of Sufis which are hamdulillah they
they decent people.
But what I noticed is that we got the at least half an hour before,
half an hour before Isha half an hour before Isha prayer, and Masha
Allah they were all engaged in vicar from that time. So in this
loud vicar that you know, somebody would tell them what to read and
then everybody would read that for a good half an hour 40 minutes
from before Asia then the then the Asia then after Asia there's some
ADKAR again that they would all read you know for quite a while
then they start taraweeh
now the tarawih is literally finished in about
half an hour to 40 minutes
by this is Ramadan, they're not reading the full Quran they just
reading from the last tourists so they finish the taraweeh off very
quickly. And this is not like the last day of Ramadan where they
finished the Quran already know this is the way they do it. They
make it very short. Then Tara we finished
with her etc Tara we finished and then they started the car again.
Right They started the car again for I don't know how long it was
then we had we had to leave it's wonderful sitting there with all
of Carl hamdulillah but my only thing was that Ramadan is for
tarawih it's a special time and it's for the Quran.
I've got a wonderful but tarawih is very important in Ramadan it's
a special worship for Ramadan
Quran reading the whole Quran they could easily to these people are
sitting there. They're dedicated people. The only difference is
that they would have had to stand up for a bit longer.
That's the only difference. They just would have had to stand up a
bit longer. But they would have read Quran Quran Rajshahi Ramadan
Allah the unzila field Quran core Ramadan is the month of the Quran.
So why are they neglecting Quran?
Right, that's the way it seemed. Now Allah I didn't ask them and
you know, I didn't ask them the questions and everything. So the
whole point is that we just sat there we thought we could have had
a really nice taraweeh you know, cut out some of the of God. And
that just shows that it seems like it's a tradition that's come down
someone did it maybe for whatever reason. And there's nobody to kind
of rectify and say look, let's get back to basics is back to the
essentials. What is the Sunnah in Ramadan? The Sunni Salah tarawih
they did 20 records by the way as well. It wasn't a target they did
20 records as far as I can remember they did 20 records but
it was just very short. Or Italy you can do you know the last 10 to
1520 Soldiers that's it. Right now I went to another Masjid the next
day and they had a shorter therapy as well. But they didn't have any
other car and then the shake there he explained that he says look
people don't have the time or whatever. So I can understand they
just cut everything out. So maybe the shortest possibility 20
records but very, very short. No you know not full Quran reading
just different parts of the Quran they will read and just just
finish it off a bit of a scar and then finish maybe a small talk and
finish now that I can understand to a certain degree because it's
not for to read the entire Quran. Right? But when you're going to
spend an hour at least you know if you include before and after
therapy at least in doing a car, then why wouldn't you just do half
an hour extra and read the whole Quran in your tarawih right the
Quran is the best of God I mean Subhan Allah the Quran is some of
the best of of God
Um, and it's the month of Ramadan. So these are just some examples.
We're not even talking about exotic stuff we're not even
talking about degenerated be the art and innovations that have
crept into many orders.
We're talking about, you know, people just doing a car, they're
not doing anything crazy, but priorities. Right? What is the
Quran and Sunnah? What is the main thing that we should be
discussing? Or what is the main thing we should be doing? So
that's what needs to happen every once in a while. So it looks like
this, say the Ahmed Abdullah Rifai, at least the one thing that
is mentioned about him is that he managed to open up a lot of the
profoundness of the science and explain it to people. That's what
it seems like that's why he's become very well known. But then
there's some other things that are related about this particular
topic or we shall come to
numerous people used to come to his gatherings because mashallah
he had that kind of a pull. And they they loved him, they had a
lot of respect for him. That's why IGNOU Holly can even Holika is one
of our famous historians, Abraham Lincoln. I mean, you go to his
books. So this is the way he describes the Riveria. So Abraham
Lincoln is later and he describes SHEIKH AHMED referring and his
group he says, Well whom a TA refer to refer a year. They are
the refer a year older than a group of referred here, whether
you call it the Hamanaka Medea, while batavi here, and they've
also got two other names, which is ama dia, because SHEIKH AHMED
refinery, right and Bata here, which basically because of the
place they were, it's called Bata. That's why it's called Bata here.
Now you can understand where these names come from now, right? These
are not God sent names as like, you know, there's going to be this
many orders or whatever the case is. Generally, in the Indian
subcontinent, they talk about only four orders because that's what
were those four orders were the most popular ones in the
subcontinent, but there's many, many orders of the solf. Right,
you know, different people can start one just depends on whether
it becomes popular and people accept it or not, and somebody
condemns it or not, but the proof is going to be in the pudding in
the sense of what they teach. And is it based on Quran sunnah as
Junaid Al Baghdadi said because anything beyond Quran, sunnah is
going to be a problem.
So he says that this is the these are the other names. What? Why
don't I Chiba? It looks like Imam Savi, who's writing this
biography. He didn't want to mention this directly from
himself. But he's and this is something I've heard of when I was
in Syria as well that people had mentioned I never I never
witnessed any of this myself. But I'm sure it's on YouTube. Right?
I'm not telling you to go there to check this out. But this
particular group, they known to do some very strange things. These
differ a year, they put themselves into doing some very strange
things. So that's why he says welcome, while IG Berman a clean
hire to heighten
the eating snakes alive.
I'm not sure where that even came from. But this is now attributed
to the refer ear when you go to Syria or Egypt, for example, the
refer ear they do all of these weird things. They do all of these
really strange things. I've not been able to go and understand why
they do it. What's the justification how they got to that
level, right and where he's got to, but I've heard about this from
before. So he says they eat snakes alive. When no Zool electronique
they're basically going into fire into pits into fire pits,
basically
one of them would actually sleep on the side of a, of a of one of
those, you know, ovens that you have in the ground that they bake
that into the bread and right while on the other side.
Somebody's baking the bread. It's hot. You'd be sweating this guy
sleeping there. But that's nothing. That's nothing.
There are so many there are so many other things with swords,
right piercing themselves.
Another one is that they would
they would have a fire.
All right, they would have a fire and then they would basically
start doing some kind of vicar around it or within it until the
fire becomes extinguished by they're walking over it. So
basically they're walking on embers but walking on fire.
Now all of these things are possible by the way Muslims can do
them and non Muslims can do them as well. If you go to countries in
the world like India and other places where the Hindu Jogi is, as
you call them, right, the Hindu sadhus, they do some really crazy
things as well. That's got nothing to do with religion.
Meaning to do these things have nothing to do with religion
because it's not only through religion, you can do these things.
It's a it's an ability within the human being, that they can prepare
themselves to do such a thing.
So whether you're Muslim or You're something else, that you could
train for it, just training, have a certain way of doing it. And
that the proof is that there's Muslims and non Muslims who do
these things. And I don't know if there's any other order Sufi order
that does this, or how this crept in Allah knows best. He doesn't
say that this comes from his time. Maybe some people from later on
who followed him have started doing this, but it's very
restricted to that group. You don't really hear about other
groups doing it as much. That's as far as I know. Anyway.
So yeah, they would dance around in there. Right? Maybe it was a
type of a huddle, or they were doing or whatever, right? They
would dance around property or some kind of ecstatic spiritual
kind of dance or whatever it was, until it would, it would go off
until the flames would go off.
Right? But but you can understand that there will be people who will
be attracted this, this kind of stuff. It sounds amazing. sounds
different. It's not doesn't give me any satisfaction. It doesn't
excite me. But there may be other people who are excited by this
kind of stuff doesn't make you right or wrong. Do you understand
what's right or wrong is whether it's Quran, sunnah, we're supposed
to be away from fire. Right? We shouldn't be touching fire. I
busted the Allahu Anhu. I mean, one of the Sahaba he was in a
battle. And he he basically
punished one of the captives by fire. And that was not liked by
the other Sahaba. So fire is something we want to run away
from. And say the hammer, the Rifai himself had some amazing
Kurama that have been related. Now, when we've not been there to
see this. But this is what's been related and not just relate in one
place. They've been related across the board, many Kurama about him,
I'm just going to mention a few of them. Because there's no doubt
that he definitely had a great influence. And he definitely was a
great person there was there's no doubt about that. Now, some of the
things that I mentioned about him, I can't even repeat here. Right?
Because I don't want to explain him. Right? It's just gonna take
too long to explain that. And
it's just a it's just amazing major gamble for no reason, right?
And this, you're not going to benefit by knowing it either.
Because you're not going to do that either. Right. And neither do
I want to do that. But there's several wonderful things about
him. One of his grommets is that there were two men. There were two
guys within his area two people who loved each other purely for
the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. One of them. I think his name was
Mali. The other one is Abdullah Mooney, anyway, once they went out
to the desert, and one of them. I mean, remember, these people are
Sufis, they're into it. They're talking about Allah all the time.
They're remembering Allah all the time. They're doing vicar all the
time. Okay. So, as they're going through a desert, they their
friendship, their mutual friendship between them is purely
based on love for Allah subhanaw taala no other selfish reason that
you're going to help me or you're going to do this or you're going
to do that it's purely brotherhood for the sake of Allah subhana wa
Bucha Anna, so one of them desires that he should receive some kind
of certification, some kind of certification from Allah subhanaw
taala
to be freed from hellfire.
Like, I want to know in this world that I've been freed from the
Hellfire I want a certificate.
Right.
So his idea was that a certificate should descend from the heavens.
In zoom in a summer.
Suddenly, there's a white piece of paper that flutters down
and they pick it up. There's nothing written on it, they can't
see anything written on it.
So half the door is accepted. You got a certificate, but it doesn't
say anything on it doesn't mean like you must write and then what?
So they take that certificate, they take that piece of paper, I
wonder what it was made of? They take that piece of paper, and they
come to the sheet. They don't tell him anything about it.
They don't tell him about this experience that Oh, they've just
come back now. Right? And they're sitting with him. He looks at
them, and he falls down into frustration. Then he says
Alhamdulillah Hilary Arani. It caught us hobby Mennonite if it
duniya a couple of Akira or all praises to Allah, that he has
demonstrated for me shown me the freedom of my companions from the
Hellfire
in this dunya before the Ophira
how Allah has demonstrated this women remember they haven't told
him this incident.
So then eventually, they pulled out they says, Look, this is the
white piece of paper that that was given to us because they figured
out that he knows something about it. So then says Why is it white?
So then they're asking why is it white? He says
Oh my son's Yeah, dual Qudra. Law tech to soda,
the hand of the Qudra, the Hand of the Divine power, where the source
of this right the source of this letter, it doesn't use blacking to
write.
It's not going to use black because blackness is against
whiteness. Whiteness is good, right? In the sense of purity that
they're talking about that it doesn't write in black ink. Well
had the Matoba manure. This is written with light. You can't see
it, you need a special filter to see it. Invisible Ink basically. I
mean, we understand this today.
So it's some kind of invisible ink that's written with Nora. Now, the
most amazing thing and this is mentioned in several places, by
the way, this story, right. numerous places have numerous
people have mentioned this story, and I was amazed when I first
heard it.
Some of you may have heard it already. When he performed hajj
when he went for Hajj. He stood in front of the Hydra, the
the room of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the cover of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam.
Don't try this today, by the way, they'll kill you. Right? They will
throw you out then call you sugar and what they will do to you. But
this is what he said. He stood there and he read the following
poem. He says we have a little birdie. We had a little boy the
row he couldn't do or sue her to come on out of there and never
hear EBT Well, her the he No but ashba He called the huddle routes
or cut harder to firm do the Amina K Tala beha shefa T. It says when
I was distant when I was away,
I used to send my spirit so that it could kiss the Earth.
On behalf of me, it was my it was it was basically my ambassador, it
would kiss the earth in front of you. Right? This earth of your
grave, it would kiss it on my behalf. Now that could be
metaphorical. You could say that. I mean, that's not a problem.
That's just an expression. Right? It doesn't I mean, Allah who I
know if he's talking about reality, maybe he is right.
But he says now Now it's the turn of the body to come. It's the turn
of my form, to be present. I've come with my spirit so many times.
And now my form has come. It has become it has, it has made itself
present in front of you. So extend your hand, extend your blessed
hand so that
my lips can basically grace it. My lips can grace your hand.
And amazing me for Hala, Jetty leader Sharif aminal cover. This
is what's reported by the people who are there apparently, that the
blessing hand came out of the grave. How Allahu Allah, right? It
came out of the grave until he kissed it. One NASA young Verona
Elena, you would expect that is always going to be people around
that area, right? And it says that people were watching this, again,
because it didn't happen to me. It didn't happen to you. It didn't
happen to anybody we know. We're probably going to deny it in your
mind at least right? But it's metal monkey nuts. I mean, none of
these things are the absolute impossible realities. But if
tomorrow somebody is going to say that that's what happened to them.
I'm going to be I'm going to be skeptical about it generally,
because it doesn't happen every day.
But there is a friend of mine who I know whose wife's a convert. And
while her hand did not come out, she felt that she had heard what
Alikum salaam coming from the grave.
Because that whole night she was crying. And then the next day when
I met the family, my my friend said that my wife's been crying
all night. And I asked her why you've been crying. And she said
last night we went to do, Salam I heard while eco Salam Na, maybe
she heard it from around her somewhere. Maybe there was
somebody else who said it. Right? Maybe she thought she heard it,
but she heard it. She heard something.
Whatever she heard it made her feel good. But that doesn't mean
anything to anybody else does it? For her. It's something that's
good. If it happens, you will hamdulillah just make sure that
Maddie didn't you know, they don't declare you Mahi. That's all
right. Because you understand you can't do you can't deny these
things. But at the same time, you don't have to accept them for
yourself. If it didn't happen to you, but I can say that the
Prophet saw some. There's nothing wrong with believing that he could
say well, it comes down to you.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that. That I don't think any
reliable scholar would would would refuse that because we know that
prophets, according to everybody are alive in their grave. The only
difference is how much alive majority believe that they have a
life where they pray even even if they'll pay you mentioned that
they pray in their grave. And the Hadith are very clear that and
it's from the Quran that the show
Does the shahada, which means the martyrs, the body doesn't get
eaten. And we've seen this over and over again, people, I've
actually seen martyrs after years and years and years.
In fact, there's one graveyard that I know. Right, which is in
London, and the person who's in charge of that graveyard who I
trust, right, who I really trust, he told me that when they were
digging up a grave, when they were digging for a grave, they opened
up a grave of somebody who had died maybe 1015 years ago from the
local community.
And he said that there was a woman and she was completely whole.
There was no decomposition, he won't tell me who it is.
He just won't tell you who it is. Because that's his, you know, he
thinks it's a secret that he must hold.
Because you don't go around digging up graves, right. But he
did it. And he saw that himself, that she must be somebody very
special from the local community.
So these are, these are not impossibilities. But tomorrow,
somebody like, you know, comes along, even if I claim that, I
mean, you're gonna take it according to what you think of a
person. Like if he's claiming this kind of stuff all the time.
Now, if the person is a very decent person know that there's
something about them. It's not an impossible, it's not mental. It's
not min mineral musta healed, as they would say, in Arabic, it's
not from the impossibilities. Right? It's not from the
environment today, with the whole visual aspect of augmented
reality, virtual reality. doesn't even sound far fetched. Not to say
somebody's there, Samson was somebody's there, you know,
creating that image for you. And you're looking at your phone and
Pokeyman or something not like that. But the fact that it can
happen where you can be in a virtual system, right, put on some
goggles, and you're like in another world? And why can you not
imagine that? A promise, a law, some sound? Whether that is the
promise on the hand or not? Is another question. Because you
know, people have discussed this idea of seeing the promise a law
or something and the wakeful state, because in your dream, you
can see anything anyway. So if you see the promise, awesome, you've
seen him, but can you see the person in a wakeful state? As many
people have claimed it?
Right, but then the question is that what do they really see? Do
they actually see the professionalism in flesh and blood
come there? Is it a vision of him? Is it a reflection of him? Is it a
projection of him, we've got many options to think about today.
Whatever that is, right, whatever that is, is probably special
unless somebody did it. Like somebody besides Allah, you know,
somebody just put a projection out there made you see the Hey, I'm
the Prophet, somebody who's made messing around.
There was actually a book that was written I read a long time ago,
how I'm not sure which
I'm not sure which one it was of the world, which
agency,
they got, this guy was a bit
a bit soft headed a bit in his mind, you know, wasn't all there,
got him to come from Zero Hedge, I'm not sure where he came from, I
can't remember it's been a long time.
And this was this book was written like 4040 years ago, 3040 years
ago.
So there was none of this technology in those days. So they
were talking about using a satellite, something to create a
light for him. And then as for him to hear a sound that you are
melody. And then for him to try to do that. And this this whole story
is giving an idea basically, but to be honest, I mean, now 2530
years later, the technology exists to do that. So be careful when you
hear noises or hear voices.
Right? You have to be very careful depends what he's telling you to
do.
So anyway, the hands did come out people watched it, and they saw
it. And there's another scholar of the subcontinent with mana
Hussain, I'm admittedly, it's related about him that he was
teaching he used to teach Hadith by the grave of the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe. Salam in the days when you could do that,
right.
And there was a there was question, somebody started asking
questions about whether deposit awesome is alive in his grave who
is dead? Because there is a minority that believes that the
prophets are dead?
Or in some kind of death? They are they've definitely departed this
world, a worldly death has come upon them. There's a question
about what kind of life they have, how much is the life that they
have? So these people feel that they don't have much life? They
don't have much sense in that sense. So he was trying to respond
and say, No, they are alive, they are alive and so on. And the guy
kept persisting, you know, when when you get that stubborn? No, it
can't be. So then he looked towards the grave, it's related.
He looked towards the grave, and he says, Look, he's alive.
And they saw that he was they could see him it was like almost
like something had been uncovered.
Right, they move there, you move your eyesight away, you look
again, he's gone. It's a fraction of a second that the veils have
been lifted.
it. Now that's happened. Right? My grandfather when he went for Hajj
the first time, the first time he when he first first went to Arabia
and to into the haram. And he looks at the Kaaba and the first
time he looks at Aqaba, he turns on to my dad. And he said, I
thought the Kaaba has a cloth on it. He saw it without a cloth. And
then, you know, he turned around, it looked back, and there was a
cloth on there. And obviously, no, there is a cloth.
He got the vision, but they didn't, why Allah knows best. What
are you supposed to do with that? Nothing.
Hamdulillah, maybe Allah wanted to show me something, don't get too
infatuated about it, for example, is somebody who contacted me
recently that she had an ear problem. And because of that, they
put something in there for the surgery or whatever. And then she
suddenly started hearing her, then
she started hearing that now, she's got this long story of a
long description about
that it's not, you know, when there's a problem that a lot of
people have, that when they suddenly feel
that they
you may have experienced this, you suddenly feel like your phone is
in your pocket, and it's vibrating. And you look in your
phone isn't even there? And have you experienced that? Now, that's
the human body. There's explanations for that, right. But
then there's what they call tinnitus, where there's people who
have a ringing in the ear, all the time, it just really bothers them.
So she's trying to say, look, it can't be this, it can't be that
but it's definitely the oven. But after they took out the grommets,
or whatever it was, then it's a very far sound. Now it's not as
close as he's telling me, what do you think that sound is? I don't
know what that sound is. I don't know what that sound is. But I can
tell you how to react to it. Right? Don't get too excited, say
Alhamdulillah is around and you're not hearing Michael Jackson, or
Madonna in your ears. Hamdulillah. Right, you're hearing. But to say
that, Oh, this is like the sound has been maintained there from the
first line in my ear and all the rest of it, Allah knows best. The
fact all you can say is interact with it in the way that we handle,
it's a good thing, thank Allah, and basically reflect on your life
to become closer to Allah. And this is what Allah wants you. So
instead of trying to find the reality of these things, which may
be very difficult to discern, because there could be so many
reasons, it could come about the fact that it's there, just take it
in a positive sense and move on. But don't think you're somebody of
Allah. And that said that you don't have to pray anymore. For
example, the only thing I can tell you to do is to encourage you to
do more.
This hopefully gives an understanding of various different
experiences that we have in life, everybody has a different
experience, it's not impossible, because there are a lot of other
realities out there that we cannot even see waves and dimensions that
we can't even see, we can't even hear. And sometimes Allah just
opens up those things to us unveil some of those things to us,
whether that be the sound, right, a certain sound stream, or whether
that be
something we can see.
Allah subhanaw taala knows best. The main thing is how we react to
it, these things should not distract us. That's the main
thing. We have our job cut out for us. Right, we have our job cut out
for us, which is that we need to pray. And we need to fulfill the
rights of others. And that's what our job is, right and to be good
with a flock to people. Just because I've had some experience
like that doesn't mean I become any better than anybody else. It
could be a deception from the shaytaan. We never know. That's
the main thing. Let's carry on with our work.
Now, this has happened to so many people, he says that he was
informed of the time he was going to die. And it was exactly like
that. Right? He must have told people is what I've been told. And
then that's when he died. And this has happened to so many people,
people I know as well. So it's that this is not even something
that you need to be skeptical about, right?
To be honest, when you know about these things, when you've been
told about these things, you will only know if they're real or not
if you actually die on that day afterwards.
Right? Because there's a lot of people who said, I've been told
I'm going to die here or this is going to happen. It didn't happen.
But then if it did happen, then you can say okay, it did happen.
Right. So you can only know in the future, but there are some people
you know, some Olia who are very confident about these things
because the angel will tell them and that's fine. Just because
Allah says in the Quran that you don't know what's gonna happen
tomorrow. Nobody knows that information for everybody. But if
Allah wants to open it up for one person, that's fine. So there can
be exceptions to this in a partial sense. That's that's the
understanding of this verse. Anyway, on another occasion.
See, I'm bringing all of these stories because I want to analyze
them and I want to tell us how to understand them. So that neither
do we get so obsessed by them that you
Where we then get misled? Or we don't become such deniers that
we're denying reality. So that's the reason why I'm bringing this
up. Because I think this is a very important lesson. How do you deal
with these things? You don't have to accept it, but you can't deny
it either. Just because you didn't have the experience. Just because
I didn't have the experience doesn't mean that it can't happen.
Right? It could happen. But I don't have to accept it. If you've
been told in your dream by the Prophet sallallahu Sallam that I
need to pay you, or I need to do this. Well, I'm not going to
listen to that if I don't feel like if I really trust you, and I
think mashallah, then maybe I'll do it, but I don't have to. Your
vision is not proof for me. That's what everybody says. But if you
know if you've seen a vision, well, that's up to you. And there
have been people, you know, who have seen visions about the person
telling them to do things. And subhanAllah, you know, for them,
it's worked out very well that you will go to this space, you will go
here, you will have this, and that's exactly what's happened
afterwards. So anyway, on another occasion, he wanted to buy an
orchard from someone.
The person said, he's not going to sell it to him. Unless
he says unless you give me a palace in Paradise for it.
Now the new he's a really righteous Willie of Allah. Right?
So he's saying, I'm not going to sell it to you unless you give me
a palace in Paradise for it.
What a deal, man.
So
he began to shake and his color change, like what are you asking
for?
Then he said, Okay, it's 32 Min. Kirby Dalek. I purchased it for
you for that palace.
Now this person wasn't gonna let go. He said,
October the hot duck. I want you to write me a deed.
Lala Land Registry? Right? So he wrote Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem.
Ha Ha is my middle Abdul Hamid Rifai. Domina dominant Allah Karim
Allah He Allahu Kasan Phil Jana. Yeah, hopefully who dudes who

he gave him a lot more than he bargained for. He said
in the name of Allah was gracious, most merciful. This is the sale of
a smile that was the person's name a smile from the servant of Allah
Muhammad, the referee, who is taking who is guaranteeing based
on Allah's benevolence upon him by based on Allah's kindness and
benevolence upon him, a palace in Paradise, one side of which are

grounds of that palace is Janna to Adam, links to gender to Adam,
another edge of it to genital Malwa a third one to gender to

And that includes everything inside the hoods, the servants,
the what do you call it? Order the seating right all the beautiful
stuff, the drinks, the lakes, the trees, everything and all of that
is being sold for this orchard of your of his in this dunya and
Allah is Witness to this, and he is the guarantor.
Okay, done. Now, you can work it out in the Hereafter I guess,
right if that happened or not.
However, when this is my ill
he died when he died.
He made they made sure that they took this certificate, this deed
and they buried him with them, they buried the deed with him.
Next day next morning,
when they woke up and they looked at his grave.
It was written on his grave now how it was in Walla Walla him
somehow is written, called wha jednom. widened Rabona. Hakka we
have found what Our Lord has promised us to be true.
Right as though that's a message from inside.
So Allahu Allah, it doesn't happen every day these things and if they
happen well, there was no YouTube in those days to to, hey, let's
take a picture of this, you know, or something like that. Let's
record this. Allahu Allah, but it can't you know, while it sounds
very far fetched, but we can't deny it.
Murtala the Allahu Anhu we believe the Senate testimony with this,
you know, Hamsey Mia
he'd died in his hometown in 598. TGT. 598 Hijiri. He didn't leave
any children behind while I'm Jakob he didn't leave any children
behind. And his position of shake. It went to his nephew. So he is
his. He had he had siblings from whom he had children and that's
where he went. He didn't leave anything. The next person we're
going to discuss will be Sadie Abdulkadir Regina Annie Rahim.
Allah will inshallah we'll discuss that next time. And there's a lot
more known about him, he's a lot more mainstream, he's got a much
greater following. And they don't have the same kind of strange
things linked to them as some of the refer is to and Allah subhanho
wa Taala knows best Allah subhanho wa Taala grant is closest to him.
