Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al Hamdulillah Hamden, Kathy are on
the uban Mubarak and fie Mubarak and now they can tell you hey
Bharat buena Valle de Jalla Jalla Allahu Allahu Salatu was Salam o
Allah say you will have evil Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa ala
alihi wa sahbihi wa seldom at the Sleeman coffee or on Naomi D in
America.
In the last gathering, we had, we began to discuss the definition of
what Sufism and Sophie is all about, to try to get to a clear,
and a pure understanding of it, because of the corruption that
generally is seen in the corruption that is generally seem
to be associated
with with soul, Wolf. So the conclusion of what we had last
week after the definition was that one of the most effective means of
cleansing the heart, purifying the heart and
reaching close to Allah subhanaw taala was the vicar of la ilaha
illAllah.
But then the secret of that was that you have to do de la ilaha
illallah, with particular dub and etiquette. That's what that's what
will make it effective.
So today, we're going to look at the adopt that he suggests the
etiquette that he suggests that when a person is doing vicar,
especially of la ilaha, Illa law or any other vicar for that
matter, then what are the etiquette that they should be
following.
The way Imam, the deal separates this out is that he has
prerequisite etiquettes that add up that precede that action, then
those etiquette that you need to keep with you when you're in the
midst of your thicker. And then when a person completes the vicar,
then you don't just walk away, you don't run away, there's actually
certain adapt to observe to get the best out of the vicar
afterwards as well.
So if a person observes these three states, and obviously it
will take a while to build them up. You don't get these each day.
I mean, there's a number of add up that have to be observed.
And with anything, when you're trying to etiquette of something,
for example, let's just say that we eat in a particular way with
you know, when we say eating, we're talking about when we're
eating, we're talking about what we eat, we're talking about how we
eat, we're talking about where we eat, we're talking about how we
sit in it. Where do we start from? What parts of the plate do we take
from? When what then do we take later on? How much do we eat? Can
you can you see how many different things there is just associated to
eating. Now if somebody if we read a list of the adverb of eating,
it's going to be difficult to observe all of them at once.
Right? But you try and then you build on it. So eventually, after
some practice, you expect that our eating should become according to
the sun away. Likewise, when it comes to the liquor, there's a way
to do that. Just taking the name of Allah arbitrarily here and
there is not going to be the same and it's not going to be as
effective as if we observe the etiquette. Now some of these
etiquette may be from the Quran and Sunnah directly, while others
are based on experience, or based on just general decorum of how our
state should be with Allah subhanaw taala you'll be able to
pick them out there'll be some things that are purely based on
experience that they are effective in trying to get the most out of
your vicar so keep all of that in mind.
So firstly, he says a double Coppelia. These are the adapt that
precede the vicar, the etiquette that we need to observe and set us
ourselves up for before we start the thicker Number one, he says, A
ujet did a Toba to me my walker Alfie human Almohad efforts.
Firstly, renew your Toba because the first Valley of the so the
first stage of the soul is Toba because we want to shed the sins
of the past, then we can start proceeding. There's nobody there's
no point when you're on a journey, even people when they're taking a
long, long journey, and they've got all of this stuff that's
stacked up in their boots so in you know, in their car, they're
gonna think okay, let me check the tire pressure. Let me clean the
car up. Let me take out the excess stuff. There's no point carrying
all this along with me all over the place. So we don't want to
carry sins with us. When we're trying to gain the baraka and
mercy from Allah subhanho wa taala. So he says that, first
revive the tilbyr of anything that we may have done in opposition to
what Allah subhanaw taala wants, I will I will How about it or do
even if you haven't done a sin, just bad thoughts that may have
come across into the mind, so make Toba Toba means repentance say oh
Allah I want I'm returning to you. Number two
which is just like Salah to what are your total hormonal, healthy
well Huberty
to purify oneself from both external filth. So there's nothing
dirty on our clothing on our body. Right? It doesn't look dirty, it
could be basically just stains we want to avoid them. So that's just
normal filth. And we also want to be in a state of will do. So we
don't want to be internally
unclean and impure as well. So we have hostile will do. And we also
physically clean as well.
Because cleanliness is half of faith. And a lot of that is to do
with attracting the mercy and baraka and blessing from Allah
subhanaw taala and shunning the shade Shayateen because that's why
we read the door when you go in the toilet, that will Allah give
us protection from
the male and female devils. We're just going to open up ourselves to
a lot more baraka and blessing were pure.
Or any other word Jehovah Allah heeta Allah be Rahu but in the
astral level Gemini year to physically then the vicar needs to
be such that you try to
concentrate all of your focus on Allah subhanaw taala because
that's who we're remembering. So we don't want to make it just
words, words that we're emitting from our mouth, we want to have
our heart connected as well. So if the words can correspond with the
state of the heart that is also directed at Allah subhanaw taala
and that's going to be of great benefits. So to focus entirely on
Allah subhanaw taala with such a desire, such a longing
so that it can give you more concentration and focus in your
remembrance.
The next one, number four is what are your staff feel Hola Hola.
Hola. Bhima Tessa, do a number of is still for seek forgiveness from
Allah subhanaw taala the first one we talked about was Tober. Toba is
returning to Allah to have this focus that I'm cutting away from
everything. I am remorseful about anything that I've done. I want to
be back with Allah subhanaw taala based on any wrongs that we may
have done we're going back to Allah is the FAR is to seek
forgiveness. So to seek forgiveness as much as possible
sit and do a bit of a step far. The reason is that when we seek
forgiveness then that removes the baggage
and
B ASC that incarnates you can do is too far with any wording that
you want a state federal law state federal law Rob beam and Column B
wanted to go in a you can do it in another language Oh ALLAH forgive
me your Allah forgive me you're loving it's at least you know
several times you do is too far before you start.
What are you so Liana Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa salam or
Kovarik likewise, as much as you can send a few blessings on the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allahumma salli ala
Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala and you say that because the reason is
that Allah has attention.
Right? You get Allah's intention when you start sending blessings
on Rasulullah sallallahu
sending blessings on Rasul Allah when you reduce Sharif is
essentially making a dua to Allah to give him blessings, give the
prophets Allah some blessings and peace. That's a DUA, Allah always
accepts that dua.
So when Allah starts to accept a DUA, then we'd expect that every
other thing that we do then is also going to be accepted. And
then, just like in Salah too as duckbill kibble italiana, often
will Jihads you face the Qibla as best as possible, try to face the
Qibla of course, if you're in a flight or you're sitting down
somewhere and you can't face the Qibla then that's fine for cinema
to aloof at the moment hula that's there, but when you can to do the
optimal liquor, then face the Qibla so facing the direction of
solids, what are your style lira che Julio Hakuna Rafi a hoof is
saved.
So my Ashraf is victory? Now this one,
we better understand it properly otherwise, somebody is going to
say this is shook. Right? And this is what maybe some people are
mistaken misunderstand that Troy says the other thing is to keep in
mind as though your your Sheikh is present.
Because generally, most of you think you are probably going to do
alone.
If you can keep in mind that your Sheikh is watching you. You're
going to be at your best behavior. Now, he could have said
that you should
have this in mind that Allah is watching you.
Which is the appt optimal but unfortunately for a lot of people
that's a lot more difficult than to think that a Sheikh is watching
them. Because the Sheikh is a perceptible individual. It's
somebody you know.
Right. And here we're talking about people who don't know Allah
yet. So keep in mind as though your Sheikh is watching you
so that he can
be a companion in this journey with you. Now, this makes it very
clear that you're not praying to your chef. You're not doing vicar
of your chef. You're just keeping him in mind so that
you're just at your best behavior that he's watching me. I mean,
Imam Hassan, he says this that if you're going to make Salah for
example, then just imagine if there's a very honorable, noble,
dignified elder from your family who's going to be watching you,
how would you make your Salaat Of course, if you can think of Allah
like that. And that's even better than you don't need to think about
anybody else.
I remember I was listening to this show that talked about how to deal
with certain addictions.
And in there, one of the suggestions was that if you ever
feel like doing this, then imagine your mother's watching you.
Right and how you wouldn't do something like this. So despicable
in front of your mother. This is human ways of focus, just human
ways of focus. That's what we're trying to use. The hadith doesn't
say that she Do you see what I'm saying? These are just practical
guy, practical steps that humans can relate to. So those were all
the
preliminary etiquette before you start the vicar, which was to
revive the Toba the repentance, to purify oneself physically and in
states to focus entirely on Allah subhanaw taala
to do a bit of so far, and salawat and Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
to face the table, and then to think that the Sheikh is also
present watching you. Now let's move on to the UScar which
at the time of doing the vicar so when we start doing the vicar what
are the garden the etiquette that needs to be observed?
These are what he calls the double musasa the others that you should
take his companion with you when on your journey in your thicker,
so as to how they are on mantener Ha ha, Merlin, first and foremost,
there's no way that you can do that. I mean, this is he says
right from the beginning. And I think this is why most of us don't
really benefit as much, right? Is because when we do the vicar even
if we're sitting doing Subhan, Allah Al Hamdulillah, Allahu
Akbar, some simple Earth God like that, we don't focus on the
meaning. So he says, number one, you must keep the meaning in mind,
the general meaning in mind La ilaha IL Allah for example, right?
There is no God except Allah, it may be difficult for you to think
there is no God except Allah, that that in that kind of detail to
think that might be a bit difficult but to have in mind
generally that there's only Allah, there's only Allah, that's that
would be a general meaning, right? Keep the general meaning in mind.
You start off like that. Number two. Now, this is what I call a
true scholar. Because there's very few scholars who would point these
points that the following points out, right, you can tell that he's
well rounded. Because he says, What are you happy called Hamza?
Make sure that the Hamza is set properly. So don't say la vida
Lila. That's like Lai, la. That's what a lot of people do. Say La
isla.
The Hamza that's what you call tactical Hamza. Al hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil Alameen. Al. Noor, Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen the Hamza
which is this LF here Hamza, the other name of the Hamza is a
sudden sound, what you call in order, Jessica says, If you don't
do your Hamza is not done. Then you've done half an Elif
because Elif Elif is essentially just a stretch. Ah, that's a leaf.
But the URL at the beginning is a Hamza
color. That's a leaf. I know generally when we're taught we
were taught early Fatah but that's actually wrong. It's actually
Hamza. That's not an Elif Elif, doesn't have a sound except a
prolonging sound. It's a mother, technically speaking. So God.
So a woman that ah, that's a Elif once you put a Fatah casada money
that becomes a Hamza even though you call it you, you it looks like
an Elif, because a Hamza cannot stand on its own. It's too weak of
a letter. So it has to come with the Elif while or Yeah.
When it's written that confuses you, don't worry about it too
much. The main thing is when it says law E, make sure you say E as
opposed to Lila
and then in Lola il Allah, so not anything else. Number One Number
two way too early for law. The law which has an elephant the lamb
Elif law, don't compromise on the Elif. So don't say Lila, Lila.
That means you haven't stretched it. The minimum stretch needs to
be one finger. So la isla, la isla, a lot of people have this
issue because of the tongues that we speak
With because of the languages that are our mother tongues generally,
it's some some mother tongues don't stretch too many things so
when they read, they cut it short because they they haven't observed
the laws of Tajweed
to get the best out of your vicar, make sure that you also say la
isla not like
but then muda was sittin but don't stretch it like La Ilaha That's
going overboard now. So not Lila and not in LA but la isla la isla
it's a very natural sound. The ILA
way after hoo ha Illa way after way after ha ha Isla la isla her a
lot of people when they're doing it fast because you expected that
when you're going to do thicker of a word many times you're gonna
probably start chewing some of the letters. Some of them are going to
become what they call a simulated right or half you can say just
eaten up let's uh La la la la la la la la la la la la la. You can't
say Hear it properly. So la isla her
say the HA properly la isla de la isla her and then he says
we are moved to LA for Allah La ilaha illa law
that needs to be an il Allah il Allah in hola hola. It has to be
il Allah is got that same airlifter that needs to be
stretched La Ilaha illa Allah
what? And then he says what le for e la la isla but then Toby and
again Illa Illa Illa Allah and then where T bill ha even Allah He
and also at the end when you say La Ilaha illa Allah Who? That who?
You don't have to say who? But don't
don't omit the letter completely. Because you know if you're saying
it fast well you're gonna say La la la la la la la la la la la, la
La, la la la la in la la, la. That hard doesn't sound you're
literally taking out a letter from somebody's name from Allah's name.
What's your name, brother?
Eunice. So you know,
just doesn't sound right. So likewise La Ilaha illa Allah say
the end, La ilaha illa Allah.
I mentioned the semi Allah halimun Hamidah. A lot of people when they
lead prayer, they don't understand that there's a heart at the end of
the Hamidah who is actually Hamidah who, who listen who
praised him? hammy the who? Most people when they stop on they just
say Hamid now they say Hamidah
without the hardened in fact some people are the uplifter Hamidah
which is completely wrong. Semi Allah winnaman Hamid you have to
say
go into the HA and stop at the HA Hamidah La Ilaha illa Allah let's
practice a few few times. Let's get this right. La ilaha illa
Allah La ilaha illAllah La ilaha illa Allah make sure you're doing
that heard the end? Because really it's La Ilaha illa Allah Who, but
because you stop you make a walk just like Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
Alameen is actually Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen na if you
look in the Quran BFF Hello. So if you carry on you say Alhamdulillah
hereby let me know Rahmani Raheem. When you stop you make it a sukoon
so likewise here you're making a sukoon as well.
Okay, number two,
well, number three rather, what are yours could be him met in
Wakulla. When you do your thicker it shouldn't be
in this lazy style.
The vicar needs to be done with him with a lot of resolution. I
want something out of this. There needs to be focused in the vicar
and what color and strength so it's not a lazy activity that oh,
let me do something and I'll fall asleep. Because mashallah
sometimes Allah does put to Nome and sinner. Allah does put some
sleep on the person. When they when they're in when you have a
nice sleep sometimes hamdulillah that's fine, but that shouldn't be
the intention. The intention is that we do it with a lot of
aspiration, a lot of a
lot of ambition and a lot of strength. While you're going to
Vic Ruhul Robert and femur Dotty Lahoma, Huberty, he were in
designerly Emery de la Ria and Wally sumartin wala the feminine
dunya E and O Halloween. This is our motivation in our remembrance.
He says his vicar should be
In
the vicar that you do, should be out of
complete desire
for the satisfaction of Allah and His love. That's why we do the
vicar we want to be. We don't want to say, you know, we don't want to
tell somebody we did vicar. That's why we're doing it. It's not
because so we can tell our Sheikh that we've done our thicker,
right? It's not because I can just feel good about you, although you
probably will feel good. The whole point is that I want to satisfy
Allah, I want to earn the satisfaction and the love of Allah
subhanho wa taala. That's why I take his name.
You know, when you're with somebody who you're supposed to
love, and you keep taking their name, they're gonna get really
excited.
Right? They mentioned me three times.
A student who is looking for some kind of affection from their
teacher, and the teacher mentioned the particular student three times
that that student is going to get really excited.
That child that student is going to get really, really and if you
if you take everybody's name and not that particular child's name,
that child is going to get very upset
with Allah subhanho wa Taala when you take His name in abundance,
then we earn the love of the love and the satisfaction of Allah. And
we also do it because he's commanded us to do it. Yeah, you
will Adina kulula, the current era
Well, Lavina almond watershed to Hogben nila, with charisma robic,
these are all commands in the Quran. Do abundant dhikr of Allah
do abundant remember Allah abundantly. So that's why we're
doing it. We're saying we're doing it because we want and we want
Yamaha and not because we want to show somebody not because we want
our name to be mentioned, not for any other dunya we reason and not
for any other reason either. We don't want to do it for Paradise.
We're not doing it to avoid *. We're doing it for the love of
Allah. A
lot of people get confused at that point. But that's just a higher
position. If you can't focus on the satisfaction of Allah and
you're just doing it for Paradise, well, that's fine.
But eventually we need to move to wanting to do it purely for the
sake of Allah subhanaw taala purely purely for the sake of his
satisfaction, and to fulfill the command that He's given us.
The next point, he says is what a Enfield acquired I mean Colby to
remove anything else from your heart. So basically no
distractions to have nobody else no alternative is no nothing else
competing in the heart. focus entirely on Allah. Liana mula
hubba che minha Cartier on Angela. Because if you're considering
anything else in your mind while doing your liquor is going to
separate you from Allah subhanaw taala
you won't be able to focus on Allah because this is all about
the mind. It's not just about the words anymore. It's about the mind
and heart as well.
When hola Anneli che he moved Highland VSAT masa, hula, Hula,
hula, tofi Halaby Daya. Now, if it wasn't because thinking about your
shake in the beginning, when you started off, was beneficial and
kind of got you focused, they would not be helpful to think
about your shake labor.
The only reason you're allowed to think that your shake is watching
you at the beginning is to just get you in focus. Get you in the
mode and get you into that position. That's it. Otherwise, it
would not have been allowed to do that because that's also besides
Allah, even though you expect that your Sheikh is helping you to get
to Allah He is still a means just like everything else is a means
and your entire focus needs to be Allah subhanaw taala now
and the next point he says is what he actually said could you Lucy
with the shahada, the best position to sit in is the Tasha
hood position
for thicker as well. Of course, he then says in Lolita, I mean,
unless you're tired, you got knee problem you just tie it for a
juicer Tara but then sit cross legged,
sit cross legged if you have to. Otherwise the show which is the
most other position has the greatest etiquette.
The next point he says is what used to be the irony close your
eyes, shut your eyes that will help you in because half the
distraction is all the colors around us. I mean look at the I
mean if I look around here and I'm doing thicker looking around here,
mashallah, all of those books, they provide such a
stimulation. There's the red ones, there's the black ones is the gold
is the silver. There's the green, you know, and then the fact that
the books and you're interested in books, right? Hey, I haven't read
that one yet. I need to look I've had that one for so long.
I need to oh, we still missing the other book. This is going to be so
much distraction through your eyes.
That's why it's allowed. It's better. In fact, he says this is
an up close your eyes and do it.
The Anila hooter theorem feet and we will call in fact his goes
above that forget the forget the distraction aspect of it. He says
that closing the eyes
It actually helps to illuminate the heart.
It actually helps to illuminate the heart because there's just one
less satellite. There's just one less window open. Right? And then
he says, What are you up to the biller? G Hetalia mean, where's
your OB ILA. Now this is very specific to particular orders. He,
as far as I know, the chef was from the halwa Thea burrito,
right, which is primarily in Egypt, you find them there's a
there's a hallway at a mosque that I went past I remember. So he
seems to be from there, they do a similar dhikr it seems to the
Chishti vicar, which is La ilaha illAllah.
So that's why he's saying here that
you start with the LA towards your right side. So you say La Ilaha.
And then he says yog will be Isla, actually he says you start La
ilaha IL Allah, La ilaha IL Allah, the Tisha is doing a bit
different. They say Allah Allah has, it's like you're throwing all
the gods behind you. There is no God except Allah. That's what
you're saying. There is no God except Allah. Remember, this is
all based on drama. This is just an effective way of doing it. It's
not necessary to do it this way. But he found this to be effective.
And then he says, you come back, right? La ilaha illAllah. Where's
the tissue? C'est la ilaha. Il Allah. So it's like you're hitting
into the heart
to enter into the heart.
And because you're not considered during that part of worship, it's
completely fine. You can't even call that a bidder. A shadow a
bidder, because you're thicker is actually La Ilaha illa Allah which
is from the Sunnah is just if somebody tells you that I like to
sit reading Quran, you know, on that particular sofa of mine, I'm
not gonna say hey, that's a bit odd because you're doing any
further. There are some shallow people out there who unfortunately
reduce all of these things to be done.
Right the professor was and didn't sit on a sofa. He probably sat on
a read mat on the sand. So why don't you do that as well if
that's the case, we just find it comfortable in some places. You
know, I some people they find praying Salah in a particular
corner of the masjid comfortable hamdulillah Blessed be you. These
are just human aspects that are just enhances for what were the
objective is which is the La ilaha illAllah wa timbi Allah Jihad
Talia sar mushiya on Isla Colby, he says you end with Allah,
indicating towards your heart. So you start La Ilaha or La Ilaha
illa Allah. So you finish off with the Allah towards your heart. This
is of course, if you're doing loudly if you're doing vicar
silently, then you're going to be focused directly on your heart
anyway, generally speaking, because your silent data has to
come from the heart. So your best bet, even when you're doing silent
liquor, the most effective way just out of practical experience
is to keep your head as close to your heart as possible. Because
the less distance there is like if you're up there and you're trying
to think from your heart, it just gets difficult, just humanly, if
you're if you're closer to your heart looking down, you can
probably focus on your heart more. It's just easier. That's what it
is. Of course, if you can do it otherwise. Alhamdulillah that's
fine.
And then he says for either or the heart Madikeri Hatha Mojave
Muhammad Rasulullah. When you want to end you're thicker than then
you end up with Muhammad Rasool Allah. So this is obviously a
regimen of la ilaha illallah, vicar of la ilaha illAllah. You
keep saying La ilaha illa Allah, Allah Illallah in the way that
he's saying, right or however you say it however you used to just
sit and say La ilaha illallah 100 times 200 times 300 times whatever
at the end and always end with Muhammad Rasool Allah.
Right, always ended with Muhammad Rasool Allah so you don't do vicar
of Muhammad Rasool Allah over and over again. You only do La ilaha
illallah and then you say Muhammad Rasool Allah at the end.
That's what the test is do as well. They have a test be of la
ilaha illa Allah Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,
Allah, Allah Illallah and then they say, Muhammad Rasulullah
sallallahu Taala Allah He was the he was talking to you about a cosa
Mantis even Kathy Ron kathira.
Remember, he was saying that make sure everything is right in terms
of your words. You know, when you do it often then sometimes you
start messing up the words. So I've heard people saying La Isla
hilar la,
la isla Hill Allah because they're trying to make an effort but then
it's becoming like a ha
That's what he's saying keep it La ilaha illallah because it's
completely fine to it's, it's possible to say Illa Allah, you
don't have to say Hill Allah Hill Allah
right? Of course when if you start saying Hill alone, people listen
to you they're going to think What are you saying? They say il Allah
then you know that you just doing it with proper did read, and it's
just La ilaha IL Allah
Okay, so those were the when you're doing the vicar, number
one, you keep the meaning in mind. He says
the meaning
Have it in general in mind. Because as I said, if you try to
keep the meaning
in detail, then you're gonna get lost in the wording. Right you
won't be focused on the vicar is Allah ilaha illallah, you're gonna
get lost in that. So the idea is that you keep the meaning in
general in mind that this is what the vicar is about.
And then you do the surgery properly, not the surgery, but you
at least read the letters correctly. That's not even
surgery, that's just basic Arabic, pronunciation to get the best out
of it, right, you're not even new woodenness here or muds, we're
just talking about just the proper way of saying it, that's all. And
number three, is saying that your whole focus needs to be the
satisfaction level of Allah subhanaw taala and emulating His
commands, not to show anybody not for any other purpose, whether
that be DUNU oakervee purpose. And then the next one was that you try
to keep everything else out of your heart, because anything is
going everything else is going to distract you. And he mentioned the
point there that if thinking about your shake, wasn't just to help
you get focused, that would have been wrong as well to think of in
the beginning. And then you sit like you do in the shower hood.
Otherwise sit in cross legged if you have to close your eyes
because that's more effective for the heart. And start with the left
towards the right, and end with Allah at your heart towards to the
left. And when you finish, then say, Muhammad Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now he's got a few other of after you
finish now, now you finish you, you are going to sit and do it for
half an hour, you're going to sit and do thicker for 10 minutes, or
maybe you're going to do a vicar for 100 times, or 500 times. Now
you said Muhammad Rasul Allah Now what do you do,
you suddenly get a call in your run, and you jump and you go,
that's generally happens, right? Because somebody has been trying
to call you and you've got all these missed calls. Or you've got
all these notifications that you need to check out. So here you go,
I'm gonna sit right here and do all of that.
Don't do that. He's saying there's a, there's a finishing, even when
they say that, if you're exercising by biking, then you
know, you you warm up, then you do the intense, right? And you can
have it more complicated, but at the end, you have a slow down,
right? You just have this
slow period at the end, just like with everything else, just to kind
of ease out of it. Likewise, here is something similar. He says what
Amala double bear idea for you know, yes, go to where school, be
who should remain silent for a while.
Remain silent for a while, and remain calm with all of your
khushu
Who means all of your limbs
are tranquil.
So just sit there for a while after your vicar is finished, stop
saying stop thinking but just just remain tranquil. For him nearly
decree worry that
there is no other call with
this is a bit difficult to translate but I translate this as
because when you've done your vicar vicar has the spirit creates
spiritual waves
upon the heart of the Verkehr I guarantee you you can experience
that when you've sat and done vicar for a while and you just sit
for a while after you finish the thicker you will see that the
waves will wash over you. You can call these vibes you can call
these waves you can call these
winds Baraka it's whatever there's a feeling you get, because when
you remembering Allah, it's inspired, something is created. We
can't see it, but you benefit from that.
That's why the Prophet sallallahu sallam said at least for Allahumma
and the salaam Inca Salaam and the three stay far when he finished
his prayer. You don't just jump you know as soon as you say As
salam aleikum, wa Rahmatullah.
So what he said is that there's a spiritual waves that come over the
hearts of the burqa, and while I uttama caniell Worry Dominello
called the iLab etheric. There's no way that those spiritual waves
will be able to benefit your heart except if you stay tranquil right
now, otherwise, you will be distracted. You're not letting
your heart you're not opening up your heart to it, you're closing
your heart. For Inconel worry, don't worry, the zone in which
Tama Hill had the Yatim where the Macan mineral called, if this
worried, you're gonna get this, this spiritual wave is going to
have different benefits. So if it is a wave of zoom, where you feel
now cut away from the world, and focused on Allah,
then it's necessary for you to give it time.
Right to give it time until it can find its place in the heart and
benefit you. Although sometimes we're doing vicar and we're
walking away and we're not allowing the full benefits to be
reaped.
He says for yesterday in the hood,
duniya
right? He says, if you do get the benefit of this spiritual wave of
zoom after you finish, then and you let it take over your heart,
then the world will drop in your sights. Everything of the world
will become the same for you.
Your attachment to the world will diminish.
Kubernetes advance whether the world is coming to you or going
away from you, it won't matter anymore. You will benefit like
that. What is that kind of worry that our cooling saw the vertical
move forward on Umrah who Ihlara behave equally shape. If the
spiritual wave that's coming upon you at the end is going to be one
of Tawakkol of reliance in Allah,
then basically,
you will benefit by now consigning all your matters to Allah subhanaw
taala and everything that will be the blessing of it at the end.
Did we even know about this stuff? We thought okay, we'll do vicar
and we'll finish. This is all additional things that are matters
of experience that they find that this is some of the benefits. And
then he says we're in Canada, we're in the sovereign. If the
spiritual benefit at the end of your liquor is of patience, then
saw the daddy cola and as a Jew, when the fire coming out well,
after that, nothing will bother you. Even the worst states that
may come over you you will have perseverance and patience. That's
what you get an every time we do, vicar we're wasting this last
moment.
Like we just walk away. We don't take the last price. Well, how can
that middle worry that he says likewise? Other
worry that Imam Ghazali just adds to this. He says that when he had
his sexuality adorable. You know this position of silence after you
finish your record. This maintenance of silence is for a
few moments. Imam Ghazali Rahmatullah says this also has a
ticket.
You know, I think where do they get this stuff?
I'll explain to you the reason the where they get this from is from
experience. For example, if you go to a master cricketer, or a
footballer,
what they've been able to do, the reason why they're masters in
football professional, is because they have basically divided every
aspect of football up and mastered every single component.
Somebody like me, I don't even know how to play football
properly. So I have absolutely no idea. Even how to manage a ball,
even how to use my foot. Right? But somebody's
taking penalties, there's an art of doing that.
Right? dribbling,
right? Setting somebody up there is a particular art with every one
of these things and those who are good at this Mohamed salah,
whatever, you know, and these other guys, they've mastered it,
they must have every single smaller part smaller component of
that. So dribbling is one component of football. But
dribbling in itself has then subcomponents of exactly what you
do, depending on what's going on.
And this is exactly what these people are talking about. And
people who have absolutely no idea about cricket, they're gonna say
what are your ways of getting all this stuff from Let's sit and do
this for a while you will see this. Try it out if you want. So
he's saying that for this silent period that you stay motionless,
with sukoon at the end of your liquor, he says this also has some
additional added if you want to get the most out of this Morocco
to Allah He to Allah of course your focus needs to be with Allah
Allah you should be focused. Morocco Baba, rockin me rocky
means very closely focused actually. Not just focus very
closely focused on Allah.
Wa ha ha oh man, a decree Allah convey the meaning of the vicar
that you just did. Like the general meaning of it. You keep
that focused in your heart. Right? Keep applying that to your heart.
You're not doing the vicar anymore. You're just focusing on
its meaning right now.
And you're keeping all distractions out of your mind.
Still no fuel. How about if all other thoughts are out of your
mind?
Well, Jim, Oh ha See he Kulia all of your
senses are still focused. Your ears are not thinking about
listening to anything else now. Right And likewise, your eyes
aren't roaming now. You're still your focus is there
behind hula taharah communal shower in such a way that not even
a hair moves of your body. Keep make sure that not even a hair of
your body moves Kahal heritage in the STL Dilfer era, just like a
cat is so still in motionless when it's about to attack its prey.
What an ectomorph. So because the talkative neuron says also tried
to cease breathing for a while, like hold your breath as much as
you can.
Just so there's absolute silence and motionless, no movement
whatsoever because you get distracted by your breath.
as well, there's nothing else it'd be destructive you'll you'll get
distracted by your heartbeats it's just the way humans are.
A Kahlua ferrata, Tony La Saba tried to do this at least three
times to seven times this holding of the breath. Hatha you doodle,
why do we Jimmy or Kearney he, until the word, the spiritual
benefit that you're getting at the end manages to
pass through all of your limbs, like you basically this wave
washes over all of your body. Right?
And you feel the benefit of it.
Well, Allah your body will be sure Wilma er Kiba Vickery and don't
rush to drink water or something after you thicker. So in the WHO
up Omar dasa lemon and worry, again, this is purely This is not
in a hadith. This is purely based on experience. If you feel like
water, you're really thirsty, please have some water, but he's
just saying that don't even have water straightaway after liquor
because he says that that will actually extinguish what the light
that you've just received from your liquor. That's purely based
on experience. But if you want to do that, and it benefits you will
hamdulillah try it. See if that benefits you. These are masters
who are speaking.
So we end here, these were the adverb of before while doing vicar
and after vicar. Inshallah, if we can introduce this to our vicar
regimen, we will see that inshallah that our vicar that
we're doing will increase I think,
you know, 1020 30 Fold if not more, because I think when people
do thicker, these are the things which are missing. They think it's
just the repetition of the tongue, and they're missing out everything
else. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala photography alone and the
salon woman because the work there then jewelry will eat Quran,
