Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

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

salatu salam ala so you didn't watch Celine. While early he was

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

asked me he overlockers seldom at the Sleeman girthier on you know,

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

your Midian Amma Bharat. Inshallah, this week we continue

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

with our series. And as you know, we were in the midst of the 10

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

principles of the path, the path of select the path to Allah

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

subhanaw taala. So this is we did the first eight. And the previous

00:00:29 --> 00:00:35

one was a summit which was basically silence, to observe as

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

much silence as possible and not to basically speak when we don't

00:00:39 --> 00:00:40

need to be speaking.

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

And that basically means not typing as well, when we don't need

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

to be speaking. So, somebody might be very quiet, there's some people

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

who are very introverted.

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

You can't have a conversation with them face to face, but my shallow

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

and they don't have a keyboard, they become alive then. So this is

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

basically talking about silence meaning no communication

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

communication with Allah subhanaw taala as much as possible. This is

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

not to say we, as I've explained, this is not to say we become

00:01:10 --> 00:01:14

hermits, but it's just to try to decrease the kind of things we get

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

involved in for no reason that waste our time. This one will

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

explain the further the next two points are very pertinent. So

00:01:20 --> 00:01:25

number nine, the ninth point is Althea mobile as herdy LTM will be

00:01:25 --> 00:01:29

less hurry we ask Allah for Tofik to give us this, the ninth point,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

the ninth principle of the path fundamental of the path is to

00:01:35 --> 00:01:41

stand up and basically pray at the ends of the nights. So this is

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

night prayer, the night vigil prayer, our Tahajjud prayer. So he

00:01:44 --> 00:01:50

says a task A Sahara, which basically means waking at night,

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

wakefulness at night, Fela Jana a full of Allah here, Mina lady

00:01:55 --> 00:01:59

tahajjud, while is still far with it, could Allah hit our Allah, so

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03

the person will not sleep for the last third portion of the night,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

for the sake of tahajjud. And for the sake of Istio, for seeking

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

forgiveness, and for the remembrance of Allah subhanaw

00:02:10 --> 00:02:15

taala. So that last portion of the night will be spent for that

00:02:15 --> 00:02:22

purpose. In the summer, this is very easy to do. We don't have

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

much of a night anyway. So the last third with only be about

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

two hours. And in winter, that becomes a very long period of

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

night. So it doesn't mean you must spend all 1/3 of the night you

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

have to remember where these books have been written. They written in

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

moderate climates, where there's probably

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

generally a decent night. And the fluctuation of Muslim is not that

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

much as we have here. The here in

00:02:49 --> 00:02:53

the night finishes at 115 for a lot of people in the winter in the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:57

summer. So either way, it's basically spending a portion at

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

the end of the night towards the end of the night for this purpose.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

And then he tells us why well called mud. He says well Korea

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

will fill us hurry well either he assured me holy he will pm or fill

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

us hurry will also be Vickery. We're in the hall a female couple

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16

of hula mazindol At night up. He said that he specifically single

00:03:16 --> 00:03:20

this one out even though praying at night and so on would have been

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

included in the first eight principles about the vicar of

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

Allah and so on. That would have been included there in general,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

but he wanted to really

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

focus on this and emphasize this separately. That's why and the

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

reason for it, he says is because Allah subhanaw taala mother whom

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

Allahu Taala for us it is

00:03:41 --> 00:03:44

not just in one verse, but in many verses Allah subhanho wa Taala has

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

praised this, this activity, enlivening the life last portion

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

of the night called a Terada, Colonel kalila Mina Lady Maya,

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

Jeroen wallbuilders, herdy, whom you're still here your own, they

00:03:56 --> 00:04:02

slept little at night. And they would seek forgiveness, they would

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

seek forgiveness bill as hard which basically means at the SIR

00:04:06 --> 00:04:10

whole time at the time, you'd be waking up. So who anyway, that's

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

the time for so far. So you could say that it's a Quranic

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

encouragement and recommendation to do is still far at that time.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

One of the best times to seek forgiveness from Allah subhanaw

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

taala.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

Even the brothers of use of Isley Brothers of use of it so I

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

remember when they came up when they came back to their father,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:35

and it became clear that what they may have done and then they said

00:04:35 --> 00:04:37

to their father, please seek forgiveness for us.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:44

What did he say? Stop, stop. Stop looking rugby. I'm going to seek

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

forgiveness. So according to the manifesting, it says that it's

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

going to be at night to agitate. So that's one of the best times to

00:04:50 --> 00:04:54

seek forgiveness. When the decree fifth article was thrown up

00:04:54 --> 00:04:57

thirimanne houfy The vicar at that time has

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

the greatest gift

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

fact, more than other times, there's a much greater effect of

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

vicar at that time than other times. Do you know why?

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

That is a time when they say the reason why that's one of the best

00:05:13 --> 00:05:18

times and most effective times is because that is the time when the

00:05:18 --> 00:05:22

evil doers of the night have finally gone to sleep. And the

00:05:22 --> 00:05:24

evil doers of the day are not yet awake.

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

That's like the purest time, because the guy is at night

00:05:28 --> 00:05:32

because they party until 123, maybe even four o'clock, I don't

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

know what time the party is finished. But maybe three, four

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

o'clock. And the morning stuff doesn't start until maybe later

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

on, you know, like after sunrise and so on. So that's why this is

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

considered to be in one sense,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:49

the best time for this kind of activity. And also from another

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

personal perspective, it's probably the best time because if

00:05:52 --> 00:05:55

you've had some sleep, the the neurons in the brain have had time

00:05:55 --> 00:06:00

the brain has had time to settle, and calm down and all of the day's

00:06:01 --> 00:06:04

signals that have been going around flushing through that

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

they've been able to calm down a bit. So when we wake up, we're not

00:06:07 --> 00:06:11

as preoccupied, it's a new day. It's a new moment. So that's

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

probably the best time to focus on Allah subhanho wa taala. So we get

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

the most, the purest time to focus on Allah subhanaw taala.

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

Because in the daytime, because we're so distracted, we can focus

00:06:24 --> 00:06:27

but then there's too many distractions, lights, bleeping and

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

all sorts of other stuff that take us away. So this should be the

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

best time. You don't expect calls at a time either do.

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

Right? So I mean, you don't expect text messages and all that stuff

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

at generally at that time anyway, and people should shut off their

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

notifications anyway. Okay, that was number nine. He didn't spend

00:06:44 --> 00:06:47

too much time on that, because he said this stuff we've already

00:06:47 --> 00:06:51

discussed before anyway. But he then goes into the final point,

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

the final point, which seems to be a rounding off all of many of the

00:06:55 --> 00:06:58

other points, it's almost like he's repeating some stuff, but

00:06:58 --> 00:07:02

he's taking it from a different perspective. So what is the 10th

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

the 10th principle of the path, he says at the core of Hema flokati

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

law, he, what the worm is decree, this is to ponder and reflect over

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

the creation of Allah subhanaw taala. That's a something of the

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

path. We also ponder over the creation of Allah, but we do it

00:07:19 --> 00:07:22

for the wrong reason. You know, when you want to buy something,

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

and you're looking for the reviews as to which is the best product,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:27

when you want to buy a car, you go and

00:07:28 --> 00:07:31

test out different cars, read reviews online, ask people that's

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

all pondering over the remembrance of that pondering over the

00:07:34 --> 00:07:39

creation of Allah. But it's just for the wrong reason. It's not

00:07:39 --> 00:07:43

pondering over the creation of Allah to get to Allah. That seems

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

to be more, more sometimes taking us away from Allah. So it's the

00:07:46 --> 00:07:49

wrong kind of pondering. But we do that, right? We do it all the

00:07:49 --> 00:07:52

time. Shopping is probably also in you. When you're shopping. It

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

requires an element of review, to go and check things out window

00:07:55 --> 00:07:58

shopping, test products out, that's all pondering over the

00:07:58 --> 00:08:02

Dhikr of Allah but in the room, sorry, pondering over the mclucas

00:08:02 --> 00:08:06

of Allah, all of that is a creation of Allah. But what this

00:08:06 --> 00:08:10

means is pondering over that creation of Allah that reminds you

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

of Allah, for the right reason to get to Allah, and the whole world

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

is supposed to be that just depends on how you look at it.

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

It just depends on how you look at it. There's a beautiful poem from

00:08:21 --> 00:08:27

YBNL Farid Ahmed confided one great spiritual poet, he says that

00:08:27 --> 00:08:33

your doctor said, mean Habibi, 10, EBD Salatin, a data beetle octopi.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

For summit two marlim, the Smarty one a thought to man, I'm Tom

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

hoodie, we're off to mallam tartufi.

00:08:42 --> 00:08:46

So basically, what he's saying here is that for the person who's

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

looking into the creation of Allah with the right reason with the

00:08:49 --> 00:08:53

right focus, with the right objective in mind, they will see

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

much more than what others will see. It's like, let's just say

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

that you went somewhere and somebody sent you a good old

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

letter. Right? They didn't want to email, but they wanted to really

00:09:06 --> 00:09:10

send a handwritten written personalized letter to you from a

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

friend of yours. And the person who brought it to you brought it

00:09:13 --> 00:09:19

with respect and with care, and he gave it to you. Now when you open

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

that letter, clearly, it's been into in this person's possession

00:09:22 --> 00:09:27

for the whole distance of that journey. So he's saying, maybe

00:09:27 --> 00:09:32

this is he's using old brother of sister of sad, maybe she brought

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

him the letter. That's why I said, Oh, sister of salad. From my

00:09:36 --> 00:09:42

beloved, did you bring me the letter, which you also handed over

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

to me with great kindness and perfection? You took all care to

00:09:46 --> 00:09:50

transfer it and transport it all the way to me and you hand it over

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

to me, but I heard from it that which you did not hear. And I saw

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

in it what you did not see and i

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

i

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Learn what you did not learn. So basically, you didn't get anything

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

from that letter, though you carried it maybe for longer than I

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

did. But the message that I got from it was greater than what you

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

got from it. So we all look at things, but do we all get the same

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

thing out of them. So it's about changing the way and focus of what

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

we look out for. And I think that example is quite simple. You know,

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

when you want to buy a new car, and there's a certain car that

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

then is pointed out to you.

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

You then start seeing that car everywhere. Until then you there

00:10:29 --> 00:10:32

were so many on road, but you never saw them before. They used

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

to just be nothing for you. But when you actually know are looking

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

for that car, you actually start seeing all of them. Oh, that one's

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

got an extra bumper that one's got. That one says this extra word

00:10:43 --> 00:10:47

on it. That means is you know, you actually start seeing things when

00:10:47 --> 00:10:50

you focus on them. So focus is important you not gonna just

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

notice Allah though Allah is supposed to be everywhere in terms

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

of His bounties and his manifesting his power and his

00:10:56 --> 00:11:01

beauty and everything. But unless we're looking for him, we veil him

00:11:01 --> 00:11:06

because we're looking for other things too much. So, Allahu Akbar,

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

Allah make it easy for us. So He says the last year that difficulty

00:11:09 --> 00:11:14

buddy is soon Allah. This is to ponder over the wonderous creation

00:11:14 --> 00:11:18

of Allah, the wondrous making of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada lay the

00:11:18 --> 00:11:23

rocky data, it will help me why why why would you look at this,

00:11:23 --> 00:11:25

not because you want to buy that or you want, okay, I'm going to

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

start looking at the trees because I want to plant some in my garden.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

That's not the same reason. You can find them in your garden and

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

that's fine, if they remember remind you of Allah. Say he's

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

saying that to look at the wonder of creation of Allah.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:43

To be able to perceive and comprehend the subtleties of his

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

wisdoms.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:49

liters their ailment were huben so that you can increase in your

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

awareness of Allah knowledge of Allah and your love of Allah. Look

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

at this beauty because the more characteristics you know of

00:11:55 --> 00:12:01

someone, the more you will become attuned to them. It's like, I've

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

got an option to buy five different phones. There are

00:12:04 --> 00:12:07

there's a HTC there's a there's an iPhone, there's a Samsung, and

00:12:07 --> 00:12:10

there's, you know, so many others. I don't know much about phones.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

I've had mine for many years, maybe. And now I'm looking at all

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

the recent phones. So I'm going to start learning Oh, but this has

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

got this this one's got this. This one doesn't have that this one has

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

this. i The more I know, okay, it must be this one. I learned more.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

Yeah, that's a really good phone that does this. And it does that

00:12:24 --> 00:12:27

as well battery power. So I suddenly become more and more

00:12:27 --> 00:12:30

connected to it, the more I learned about the virtues of it,

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

and the qualities of it. So we don't do that for Allah subhanho

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

wa Taala he says this is the way to do when you look around, you

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

actually start seeing what Allah does for us, you will you will

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

increase and you want to you want to do it for that reason, with Vic

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

Rukia um, and will corrode and with the Jah and Allah stability,

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

the one one of the things that really helps this is to remember

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

Allah, you know, however that is whether it's doing some Tasbeeh

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

whether we're just thinking about him, standing, sitting and on our

00:12:57 --> 00:12:58

sides.

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

And that shows that he doesn't have to be formally sitting for

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

liquor. It's just remembering him whether it be just the speed

00:13:06 --> 00:13:10

casual the speed, or even just actually rather than casual. Just

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

be just thinking about him. What does he want in this situation?

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

Oh, Allah helped me I'm in the situation Allah helped me make

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

this easy for me. I've just had a brother, little problem with the

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

brother of Allah reconcile our hearts come on, you know, I need I

00:13:23 --> 00:13:28

need reconciliation with this. Right? It's that kind of an idea.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:33

Right? It's that kind of an idea that we're thinking about Allah in

00:13:33 --> 00:13:36

everything we're making part of our life, whether we're standing

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

up whether we're sitting down, and whether we're lying down, Allah,

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

Sybil is the one and hopefully this can become permanent, that we

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

can remember Allah in all different stages. Now, if we think

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

back,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

when did we remember Allah subhanaw taala today, before this,

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

you know, before we started talking about informally, so for

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

example, yesterday, like imagine,

00:13:58 --> 00:14:01

I was told that I may have said something and somebody may have

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

been upset by that. So now I'm making the dua to Allah, Oh,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:07

Allah, please make it easy for us, you know, clear his heart for me.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:12

I didn't really mean it. You know, that's the time to bring up Allah

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

as opposed to,

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

oh, no, I'm gonna have to talk to him or I don't care about him. I

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

don't care if he feels bad. You know, there's various different

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

reactions. And it's amazing when you bring Allah subhanaw taala in

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

the picture, that things start happening. It's quite amazing

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

trait. A simple thing like that you had a misgiving about

00:14:30 --> 00:14:35

somebody. Just make a DUA and you will see that things begin to

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

clear up it's amazing.

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

What Eli he assured me COVID He will fit crew with the crew, Allah

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

Dhawan. That's why the author says

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

reflection and remembrance perpetually. It needs to be you

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

know, once this is built into your life, and it takes what it takes a

00:14:51 --> 00:14:56

while. And I think it's going to be a lifelong process. But we hope

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

that tomorrow we'll do it more than we do today.

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

That's really what we're trying to do and the next day will be more

00:15:03 --> 00:15:07

and 10 years time will be even more. But if in 10 years time

00:15:07 --> 00:15:10

we're doing the same remembrance of Allah that we did today or last

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

year, then we're not getting anywhere. Nobody's saying we'll

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

get 100% Conviction like the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

sallam overnight, or if ever, but more than today, right?

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

More than today, more than before, and more than yesterday, and every

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

day, we need to look at it like that. So we're the closest to

00:15:29 --> 00:15:33

Allah before we die, that we could have been, while I'm under

00:15:33 --> 00:15:37

vichara, or Cannatonic, says he brings this last but he says, This

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

is last not the least. He says that know that the remembrance of

00:15:41 --> 00:15:46

Allah is the most Mighty is the most majestic, the most honorable,

00:15:47 --> 00:15:52

founding principle of the path. Right out of the tender he's

00:15:52 --> 00:15:56

talking about this is it? Because the Maqsood, he kind of moves off

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

the reflection part goes more into the vicar now. Right? He says

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

because the objective lens will walk through the mean Hmm. What is

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

the objective of vicar?

00:16:07 --> 00:16:10

Why should we sit and remember Allah standing and why should we

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

remember Allah at all?

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

He said, The main objective should be the lessor Pulu me mercy of

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

Allah heeta Allah.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:24

It is to basically free the hearts from other than Allah. So that the

00:16:24 --> 00:16:27

main thing which is preoccupying our heart is Allah subhanaw taala.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

That doesn't mean that we drop everything else of the world, and

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

we don't even fulfill responsibilities and earn a living

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

and eat and all the rest of it, we do all of that. But what's in our

00:16:38 --> 00:16:43

heart is Allah subhanho wa taala. Primarily, that's occupying our

00:16:43 --> 00:16:44

heart.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:47

Well, who are our thermal half either Nick.

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

And

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

the most effective way of gaining this is by vicar of Allah, that's

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

the thing. It's the most effective way of doing it, then the Kathrada

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

who do Tchibo istilah, Elmas kuliah, I'll

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

think about it, if you've got a project time, that is very

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

important. And it's a big project, and you're probably going to make

00:17:07 --> 00:17:11

a lot of money with that. And it requires so or let's just think

00:17:11 --> 00:17:16

about a marriage, or a function in a function or in a marriage or

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

something like that. There's so many different things that you

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

have to bring together, right? Order the foods, guests,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:27

preparation, decoration, shopping, and so on and so forth. So

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

generally, what I say is that if you're going to get engaged and

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

make sure that engagement isn't too long, until a marriage date,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

because otherwise every weekend becomes a shopping week, shopping

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

weekend. If you only have three weeks to prepare, it's only be

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

three weeks of preparation, and you'll get it all done. And if

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

it's six months, then you'll probably be preparing every

00:17:42 --> 00:17:46

weekend anyway. So you just an occupation of your life. But what

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

happens then doesn't that become the first thing you think about

00:17:48 --> 00:17:51

and the last thing you'd you think about before you go to sleep?

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

Because he's preoccupied us? That's exactly what he's saying.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:59

He says that, if you're going to do abundance of vicar of Allah,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:05

right, then the abundance of it will necessitate the ascendancy

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

the elevation, the dominance of the one you're remembering upon

00:18:10 --> 00:18:15

your heart, it will, the more the thicker you do that will basically

00:18:15 --> 00:18:19

force the one you're remembering who is Allah, right to become the

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

most foremost in our heart. So if we're thinking of a car or a

00:18:23 --> 00:18:26

marriage, or a business or something foremost, that is going

00:18:26 --> 00:18:30

to be foremost in our heart, so that it's just logical that the

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

more you remember him, then that's fine. And what a lot of people

00:18:33 --> 00:18:35

think if I remember Allah, then I'm going to miss out on a lot of

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

other stuff. But that never happens.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:40

What actually happens, what's amazing which people don't get,

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

but you have to experience to be able to do this is that the more

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

you remember, Allah, the work becomes easier, because Allah

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

opens up your time, Allah opens your efforts, Allah opens a

00:18:51 --> 00:18:54

Baraka, there's Baraka in your time. So he's not saying

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

exclusively remember me and just forget everything else and just

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

sit and remember ALLAH, that's not what he's saying.

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

incorporate that in your work.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

So whenever you're doing something, you're still thinking

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

about Allah at the back of your mind, just like you would be in

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

anything else. You if you've got a marriage to prepare for, or some

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

other things to prepare for moving of a house, you're still going to

00:19:14 --> 00:19:15

work.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

But at the back of your mind, you've got a need to move I need

00:19:18 --> 00:19:21

to do this today. I need to do that today. That's that's

00:19:21 --> 00:19:22

basically what he's saying. I think

00:19:24 --> 00:19:27

hatherleigh economy history was such that nothing else then

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

preoccupies the heart like that, but Jamie will arcane attention,

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

one who then the benefit of that with will be that because the

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

heart is the control,

00:19:36 --> 00:19:41

the controlling source of the body, all of the rest of our limbs

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

will basically follow suit. So prayer will become easier.

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

Kindness will become easier, right? Humility will become

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

easier, everything else will become easier. Then who urethral

00:19:52 --> 00:19:55

Kalba neuron Celltrion because the other spiritual thing that it

00:19:55 --> 00:19:59

does, is that it creates a light that is emanating from the heart

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

We're not going to see this. Most people don't see this, but others

00:20:03 --> 00:20:04

may feel it.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

They will be a light that will emanate from the heart, but be

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

yours had to be dunya Allah do you have Buddha razza, holy,

00:20:12 --> 00:20:18

healthier. And by this light or through this light now, it will

00:20:18 --> 00:20:23

satisfy you to such a degree that it will make you it will basically

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

make you

00:20:26 --> 00:20:28

turn away from the world

00:20:30 --> 00:20:34

from the love of the world, because the love of the world is

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

the root of every problem.

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

So, you will have the world you will take it you will do it you

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

will buy your car you will do everything else you'll buy a house

00:20:45 --> 00:20:48

or whatever it is you have to, but it won't be done with obsession.

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

Because there's something else that is obsessing us.

00:20:53 --> 00:20:57

When either called Illuminati as vicar of a karate, I'm sure all

00:20:57 --> 00:21:02

Wilaya that is why the same goes the saying is whoever has been

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

given vicar meaning whoever has been given the love of the code

00:21:05 --> 00:21:08

that actually do vicar all the time. Then he has been given the

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

plan of Wilaya

00:21:11 --> 00:21:16

is basically be given tickets, the plan the case for friendship with

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

Allah subhanaw taala

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

because to be honest, the most difficult thing is to be regular

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

on your vicar that is very because too much distraction it's a

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

massive competition. And if this can when you're when you have

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

Allah that's it or will you have Allah file muda wama to Allah He

00:21:37 --> 00:21:41

Delino Will I still wish to really be effective you see somebody who

00:21:41 --> 00:21:45

is regular on the vicar, then consider that to be an evidence

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

of their Wilayat there's no other way like you don't He doesn't need

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

to show you any miracles. That's what people think miracles right?

00:21:54 --> 00:21:59

It'd be pulling money out of your masala right? It's like a ATM

00:21:59 --> 00:22:03

machine that's we like that's that that's not Wilayat Wilayat is that

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

we can become particular

00:22:06 --> 00:22:12

on the remembrance of Allah to become permanent on it becomes is

00:22:12 --> 00:22:17

an evidence for the Wilaya of the one who is occupied that way when

00:22:17 --> 00:22:21

he called me out of thermal or Kenny Walker al Hassan even Quran

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

Majeed accelerometer Ladyman Larkin. And he says, because this

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

is the greatest of the principles and the greatest of the

00:22:29 --> 00:22:33

fundamentals of the path. That is why so much encouragement has come

00:22:33 --> 00:22:37

about it in the Quran Majeed more than any of the other Archon

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

the mention of vicar of Allah in the Quran says over and over and

00:22:42 --> 00:22:43

over again.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

That's why look at the verses Allah subhanaw taala says, First

00:22:51 --> 00:22:54

call Rooney Of course, you remember me and I will remember

00:22:54 --> 00:22:59

you. Amazing, very simple statement. You remember me and

00:22:59 --> 00:23:03

I'll remember you that's Allah saying that you know what a big

00:23:03 --> 00:23:06

person who you've got a lot of respect for that you may have a

00:23:06 --> 00:23:09

lot of respect for maybe that'd be a big scholar, a big celebrity, a

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

big businessman, somebody that everybody is looking looking out

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

for, right? And people would love to have a few minutes with them

00:23:17 --> 00:23:22

even maybe shake their hands. Right? And that person says to you

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

that you know what, I remember you. I remembered you, you just

00:23:27 --> 00:23:32

feel me out of all of these people that would love to be remembered.

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

Why me? You're going to be amazed. Allah subhanho wa Taala among the

00:23:37 --> 00:23:41

billions of objects around him that he looks after he remembers

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

us

00:23:46 --> 00:23:50

while it's easier for Allah to remember us than anybody else, but

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

it's also the most worthiest as well. We mustn't start thinking

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

because Allah is easy for him to remember hundreds and 1000s of

00:23:55 --> 00:23:59

people at once. It's it's not a big deal. Subhanallah because it's

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

a big deal. You know, some people look at things in a different way.

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

Right.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:08

ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah, so

00:24:10 --> 00:24:14

first Quran the Quran, then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, A Levine

00:24:14 --> 00:24:19

if Karuna Allah has clear on what Kuru then why the juubi him where

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

the Karuna V Hulk is somewhere where it will aren't. Those who

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

remember Allah subhanho wa Taala standing sitting and on their

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

sides, and they are pondering they reflect and ponder over the

00:24:30 --> 00:24:31

creation of the heavens and the earth.

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

Because that's Allah's that's why Pong is over. It's your if

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

somebody's infatuated with Steve Jobs, well, they're gonna get the

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

iPhone.

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

Right? They're gonna get the iPhone. It's somebody who's got an

00:24:44 --> 00:24:50

iPad to sell so his his brother in law said My nephew is a fat is

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

obsessed with the iPhone. Let me ask him. So you sent him the

00:24:53 --> 00:24:57

advert. It's like the top and iPhone, not iPhone to the iPad. So

00:24:57 --> 00:25:00

he says yeah, man who wouldn't want a new iPad but

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

Right now I'm having to save money for something you know, for for a

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

house or something. So I, that's the only otherwise who wouldn't

00:25:05 --> 00:25:07

want one? That's your love for it. You're saying Who wouldn't want

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

another one? You know

00:25:10 --> 00:25:15

what call the Cordilla some other home fee, hold the email I boom.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

These are just a few of the verses but he's chosen a very good

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

selection of verses about vicar. He says, Say Allah.

00:25:23 --> 00:25:28

Right? Yeah, just say Allah, then let them then leave them to be

00:25:28 --> 00:25:32

engrossed in their play. Let them carry on in their entertainment

00:25:32 --> 00:25:37

and they, their play, and they futile entertainment, you just say

00:25:37 --> 00:25:42

Allah that's amazing. I mean, just pondering over these they strike

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

mashallah, in the heart, Allah subhanaw taala says, Yeah, you

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

have Latina mo either la Lita and fifth and fifth Bhutto with

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

Corolla Catahoula eloquently Hone are people who believe if you are

00:25:53 --> 00:25:59

to meet your enemy, meet the group meet the the your foe, then then

00:25:59 --> 00:26:04

be be firm, be firm. But don't just be firm. This is the mistake

00:26:04 --> 00:26:07

we make we have a lot of fervor, you know, when we've got these

00:26:07 --> 00:26:12

attacks against us, whether that be school related, whether that be

00:26:12 --> 00:26:16

Islamophobia related. We do there's a people who mashallah

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

very moved to campaign. So they do a lot of campaign right. So they

00:26:20 --> 00:26:23

mashallah you see these people, they don't seem to be very

00:26:23 --> 00:26:28

practicing, but they're willing to go out and do more than other

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

people. Right? Because they, they've got a lot of drive, and it

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

doesn't matter what happens, then they're willing to stand up for

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

the truth. So yes, we should do that. As he says, As Allah

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

subhanaw taala says in the Quran, that when you are confront your

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

enemy, whatever the enemy is, then you should stand firm. But then we

00:26:46 --> 00:26:49

missed the next part, where you're gonna get the energy from this

00:26:49 --> 00:26:54

from an effectiveness, are we just relying on ourselves, that I, I've

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

got a lot of zeal, and I've got a lot of strength, and I've got a

00:26:56 --> 00:27:01

lot of commitment is that what it is, we want also efficacy, we also

00:27:01 --> 00:27:06

want a positive effect. And that comes from with kulula cathedra.

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

And welcome to,

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

and remember ALLAH, abundantly.

00:27:12 --> 00:27:16

So that you can be, you can be successful. So your success isn't

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

just going to come by steadfastness is also going to

00:27:19 --> 00:27:22

come through the remembrance of Allah. This is where I think a lot

00:27:22 --> 00:27:25

of people miss out. They think it's all about planning and all

00:27:25 --> 00:27:28

that that's all there that has to be there as part of it. But it's

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

only half the story. Because at the end of the day, we're doing

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

things for the sake of Allah, if that's what we're claiming, but we

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

don't even bring a line to the picture.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:44

That's why there was one mother, sir, it was the first time that

00:27:44 --> 00:27:48

they had a very important conference, right in which so what

00:27:48 --> 00:27:50

the show you have done is that they get they got two or three

00:27:50 --> 00:27:55

people just to be sitting on the site throughout just doing vicar

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

of Allah.

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

For the book, it's like they were providing the power source. Can

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

you imagine it like you charge the battery?

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

Unfortunately, we just becoming too reliant on our own, like

00:28:10 --> 00:28:13

glamour and the way we do things and all that that should be done,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:17

we should have the best organization, do it, you know,

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

have the best. But don't forget that.

00:28:21 --> 00:28:27

If somebody recently he had a problem with somebody else, and

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

is he did some estate for

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

you know, husband, boss is 70 is too far. He read those, and we had

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

something else. And martial law, events began to turn.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:43

It had gotten very bad, but then it's soft and out miraculous, like

00:28:43 --> 00:28:48

why did it soften out? But it's because you're asking Allah to

00:28:48 --> 00:28:52

intervene? You know, like somebody goes, you you say, Please, can you

00:28:52 --> 00:28:55

just have a word with them? And they do. It doesn't remove the

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

problem complete, because that takes time. But at least

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

somebody's mentioning something puts in a positive. So we're

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

saying to Allah to do that he has the most power to do anything.

00:29:05 --> 00:29:10

Allah, it's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. Then, then he says,

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

What kulula hackathon. The next verse, he says, was the karula

00:29:14 --> 00:29:18

Kathy Iran. When tasar rule member Idema Halima and these are the

00:29:18 --> 00:29:21

people who remember the Allah subhanaw taala abundantly and then

00:29:21 --> 00:29:26

they defended themselves after they were oppressed. So even with

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

that, even when you're being oppressed, well, that's probably

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

you're probably going to remember Allah generally anyway, but you

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

must remember Allah then and then you defend yourself. Then Allah

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

says, what a vicar Allahu Akbar, the remembrance of Allah is more

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

superior is the greatest.

00:29:42 --> 00:29:45

And then Allah says with Hercynian, Allah cathedra with

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

accurate and those who abundantly remember Allah subhanaw taala for

00:29:49 --> 00:29:53

the male and the female, and numerous other verses, but that is

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

sufficient to underscore the idea of how much Allah subhana wa Taala

00:29:57 --> 00:30:00

can be of help if to

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

us and to our benefits. So we stop here for today but in the next

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

session it's talking about with the corona only there are two

00:30:06 --> 00:30:09

types of liquor. So inshallah we'll cover that next time.

00:30:09 --> 00:30:12

Basically this liquor that you just mentioned about how does it

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

become person become a Verkehr I remember of Allah subhanaw taala

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

there are two ways to do this. And inshallah we'll look at that next

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

time. Because of Darwin and Hamdi. Larabie anatomy a lot of Mantis
