Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
Salatu was Salam wa ala so you didn't mursaleen while he was sabe
he he marine Amma Baron
we have been discussing, reaching the level of servitude and level
of Siddiqui, these are various different ranks in the path to
Allah subhanaw taala.
To understand, and to master anything, you have to break it
down to its individual components. And then you have to master those
individual components, then only can you master the thing as a
whole. So, when you take the example of football, or you take
the example of biking, something simple, biking is not just jumping
on a bike and then riding, there's if you want to master biking,
there's several components to biking. One of them is how much
effort you put in pedaling how the gears work. Both the different the
back gears, the front gears, various different types of gears
breaking, even using the brakes, because the back brake,
if you use it,
if you use it improperly, you could, you could skid, right. And
if you use the front brake improperly, you could actually
somersault off, but then the front brake is actually stronger than
the back brake, it's more powerful. So to understand that,
for somebody who's going to understand braking, braking, when
you're going around a turn, braking, sudden braking, all of
these have to be mastered to be a good biker. The best way to adjust
the gears when going uphill, the
best way to do things when you're coming downhill, you have to
individually master all of these things and break it down to those
portions. So for example, with regards to braking says that you
should if you really want to break fast, you need to use 40% of the
front brake and 60% of the back brake to keep the balance.
Otherwise too much of one or the other could go wrong and make it
worse. So likewise in everything.
It's likewise in everything. So now what they're saying is what
we're speaking about here now is that the author Imam, that the
Rahimullah is discussing the path that leads to the station of pure
servitude. We're all servants something we can't deny, but we
don't act like servants and we don't play the part we forget
that. So he's telling us the way to get to that so he says Well,
ah, yes, hello. Wala Yes, who will will sue la hired an ill be muda
Amati Vickery La ilaha illallah Leyland, when a Hara
if you think that you could give beta to a shake or a tender
measureless or be part of a group, and then suddenly you're going to
be put on to an escalator, or a lift or an elevator or even a
rocket and you don't have to do anything. Right then that's
grossly wrong. Right, you still have to climb the steps. They just
tell you which steps to climb. So here he's saying that there is no
easy way to gain this level of servitude. Generally speaking, I
heard that and he said, because with Allah's mercy, and Khurana
said, Allah subhanaw taala could give somebody has a special
ticket. But generally, in general, he says, it's very difficult. It
is not easy to reach the station of servitude, except with
permanence and regularity on the remembrance of la ilaha illallah
day and nice
to repeat La Ilaha illa Allah day in and day out, night in and night
out. That is what's necessary. That's the way a person is going
to understand their position in this world, and solidify their
servitude. Otherwise arrogance will creep in. A person will be
very far from feeling like a servant of Allah. And not only in
their actions, but the worst part, right which we've seen the worst
one may Allah protect is not inaction, but in belief. When that
starts effecting a person's belief, it means it effects the
person's Iman. Because when we have less servitude, and a person
becomes arrogant, less dependent on Allah subhanaw taala this
feeling of independence from Allah subhanaw taala is very dangerous,
then you will start getting confused and shaytan will cause
doubts in your belief in your Aqeedah why is this hadith like
this? Why does it mention is this Why is do I have to do this? Why
do I have to pray? Why can I eat like this? Why can't I date Why
can't I do this? Why can't I do that? These are all signs of the
lowness of faith because higher from Allah subhanaw taala will be
lost modesty and chastity and bashfulness from Allah subhanho wa
Taala it will be lost higher is essentially higher is such an
important
branch of Islam is just one branch of the 77 branches. But it is such
an important branch that the prophets have also mentioned that
they'll hire Amina Iman. Reason is that higher fluctuates with iman.
It's I mean, what they would call in a posh term concomitant to
Iman, which means that they both rise and,
and become lower, concomitantly together. When emaan increases,
the hire should increase. And if the man decreases, the hire
decreases. If somebody thinks that they have, you know, if somebody
thinks that they can call themselves
think that they've got high Iman and they're not exercising,
they're not going according to the laws of higher and modesty, then
that's a gross error.
That's a gross error. Generally, most people they refer to higher
as a cloth on your head. For women, as though men don't have to
have higher higher is a lot beyond that, which is to protect the mind
to protect the heart to protect to protect the actions from anything
that Allah subhanaw taala doesn't want us to do.
So it's not just the cloth on the head. That's not enough. That's
just an outward manifestation of an aspect of higher.
So he says that saying La ilaha illallah over and over again, with
all of the adapt that he mentioned earlier. That is what's going to
facilitate. That's going to give you a bit of an escalation to
servitude. Along with that he says, Marta, local Colby, Billahi,
Wada, while jewelry was Sahara, whether it is Al and in US was
some Allah, Allah and decree law he to Allah. So not only should
you be repeating La ilaha illallah, for example, what we
could do is we could make a word that after every salad, or if I'm
going to the masjid, for example, waiting for prayer, then I'll I'll
do a speech of la ilaha illAllah. After every Salat, I won't move
from there until I do it, maybe 50 times 10 times 100 times 200 times
whatever is easy for a person, we're gonna have to set these
goals minimum is 100 times a day, that's a minimum. But the more we
do that, that is what escalates you. That's what gives you the
speed to do that, but along with that,
the relationship of the heart the attachment of the heart must be
with Allah alone, and nothing else. Actively, we must try to
disassociate our heart. Now, don't get me wrong, when you say
disassociate our heart, people think of all sorts of things, they
think it means just don't do anything. That's not what it
means. It means we're still going to eat, we're still going to be
meeting people, right, we're still going to fill out fulfill our
responsibilities, we're still going to study, we're still going
to have to work. But it's just that our heart isn't going to be
part of it.
There should be nothing that overtakes the heart, except Allah
subhanaw taala, though in action, we have to do whatever we have to
do as people of the world.
Today, they say that the new addiction is binge watching on
Netflix, because it gives you access to matter, no series of
things. So you need to finish them all in the weekend. Over, so then
people are stressed at work. Because, you know, before on TV,
you had to wait for the program. And if you missed it, you missed
it, unless you recorded it. But now there's hundreds of channels.
That's how satellite TV was. And now it's all on demand. You can
literally just wait until the whole series finishes and just
watch everything together and three days
Subhanallah these are all various new forms of addiction.
So the heart must never connect to anything like that. Must not never
connect to anything but Allah subhanaw taala. And while jus
Iwasa. You must remain hungry for the sake of Allah. How do you
remain hungry for the sake of Allah.
As by fasting, we've been told how to do that. So don't come up with
any new ways to do that. We already know how to do that
there's a way to do that which is fasting and Sahara which means to
stay awake at night to spend portion of the night for Allah
subhanaw taala. That is obviously through your Tahajjud prayer and
so on.
Basically, what he's trying to say is that we're going to have to
come out of our comfort zone and dedicate that which we love, our
sleep, our food, etc. We're going to have to dedicate that to Allah
to show that we really mean it. That I am a servant and I'm not as
independent I think I want to be
and then we'll let it dissolve and in us we also going to have to cut
away from people for a while. So our social
Life.
We need a social life. All Muslims need a social life but it needs to
be very carefully chosen. We read in recital, Mr. Sheen, that any
friend that you're not benefiting from religiously speaking, then
you need to abandon that friend, because he's not truly a friend.
So if we can surround ourselves with better people, associated
with better people,
or we can influence in good, then that's what we must do. Everything
needs to be for a good purpose. While some Illa and decorilla
heater Allah and trying to remain silent and quiet, unless it's for
the Dhikr of Allah as much as possible, of course, humans need
to speak that's why we've been given a tongue to speak with,
right our tongues are not just for the vicar of Allah. They are
obviously to speak because we need to do our worldly transactions
with it. But if that's all we use it for and we never use them for
the Dhikr of Allah then that's a problem.
Then he says one Willa Havarti, ducky Yeti arconic prodigality say
it by Onuoha insha Allah hooter Isla,
a person must then also observe to gain this level of OBEDIA and
servitude a person must also observe the remaining integrals
and principles of the path which will soon explain later we will
soon be explaining is going to go through the other principles of
the path.
Those need to be observed as well insha Allah Who to Allah, and he
says all of this is called Mujahidin,
while while Musa will Musa this is what you call Bucha. You probably
heard the term before. So you see the benefit of this that we're
going through is that all of these terms will be put in place now
what is Mujahidin? This is all Mujahidin, which I had a means to
exert yourself to take the name of Allah day and night to associate
the heart with Allah attach the heart with Allah
to remain hungry sometimes for the sake of Allah, exercise hunger and
spend some of the night for him
to choose our friends wisely
and to restrain our tongue
that's what you call moja Allah subhanaw taala says, so this is
Mujahid. All right. What do you get on Mujahidin? What is Allah
promised on Bucha they says well, Latina Jaha do fina, then a hottie
in the home Sulochana.
Those who exert themselves in us in our path for us for our sake,
then we will guide them to our paths.
Those pipes are closed. Those need keys from Allah subhanaw taala.
They need a smart card, they need a key. They need a password. That
password can only be unlocked by Mujahidin.
It's like, I mean, today, all of these things are so easy to
understand that the more you play on a game, and then you suddenly
unlock certain levels and so on. Right? It's such a cheap example
to be honest, right for such a great thing. But so many people I
mean, because today we have
games for adults as well, which people you know, a few 100 years
ago to pro laughter right? But now we have games for adults and
there's an addiction obviously, medically, that's what's being
discussed right now. Wow, the Torah will have the turkey now all
of this is an elevation. As soon as Allah opens up paths to you,
that's an elevation. That means you're being ascended. Right,
you're you're rising up. That's what you call al Musa B so look.
You heard the word salute us, right. So Luke, so Luke, so Luke,
Sue, Chris, literally, this is this effort that you're making,
and then you're furthering yourself on the path that is what
you call pseudo killer medical model look
to the King of all kings. This is what you call Saluki, which means
the path taking the path Celica Yes, local solution, which means
to adopt a path and take it. So essentially, that's what's
happening here. So all of this is what they call journeying in
Allah. Right. Then Then there's one Macedo il Allah heeta Allah
for whatever Juval Calbee Illa Robbie Manmohan effort enough
sufficient Awatea what a MOBA Hutton Paderborn Lima Dotty la
heeta Allah wa II thought Allahu Allah mercy WA, the concept of
save Illa traveling to Allah.
Traveling to Allah, that is when the heart becomes, turns its
attention towards the Lord. While opposing all the demands of the
knifes.
The enough's wants to do binge watching. The novice wants to do a
lot of gaming. The knifes wants to just sit back and waste time. Just
play
football all the time, or binge watch your highlights of your
favorite team or whatever the case is, you know all of these various
different things that people do. Right? So to go against enough
snow, I don't want to do that. And I want to focus my heart on Allah
subhanho wa taala. He says that
if you're really serious, then it's not about just
opposing the self in Haram desires,
but also in the permissible desires.
So for example, it's permissible to
eat out every day.
Right? And you think, okay, it's going to save my wife a lot of
time. I'm talking to the men. And for the women, they'll say it's
going to save me from cooking, right if the women are cooking in
the house, so let's eat out every day.
Now, of course, if both people are so mashallah involved in the dean,
the work of the dean that they have no time to cook, and they've
Qaid their catering hamdulillah that's fine. That's
understandable.
But if it's, I'm just indulging everyday I'm going to eat out. And
you go to different places like Bombay, Karachi, Dubai, Singapore,
these places are known to be food havens, because you get all
different types of cuisine. So what people do there is they don't
eat at home, they just go out and indulge. So they do it for an
indulgence reason, because they want to try different cuisines
every day. Now, you could I mean, you could call that a throw off,
maybe, but otherwise, it's permissible to a certain degree.
But it's against the normal nature of how Allah wants us to do
things.
You probably end up with a stomachache eventually, with all
that, Richard anyway, I mean, that's just probably not the right
way to do things anyway. Right.
So even permissible things,
permissible things like maybe just playing football is permissible.
Now, playing football for an exercise is good. But then playing
too much football because you're addicted to it.
You just keep playing football over and over again. Because you
just love the exhilaration it gives you
so it's come out of an exercise, right to stay fit.
You're still going to stay fit with it. But that's just an
excuse. Now, you don't have to play every day, to keep going out
with the friends
to go outside to the masjid, right, which is a good thing,
right? To go to the masjid for five for your McRaven Asia. But
then standing outside after salads, and talking until Isha
with your mother admonition and depriving your family at home.
That's MOBA. Meaning is permissible. But
it's just a shower. It's again fulfilling a desire.
In fact, if the only reason you go to the masjid for prayer, is
because you meet your friends,
then that's a problem because I know when we were young, that's
what we used to do it for. Because you get to meet your friends and
messing around a bit. But adults do it for Punjab reasons, right.
In fact, some people join moss committees purely for that reason.
I don't want to judge people but I know this for sure.
Because they only come for meetings they only come in the
salad is with the meeting. They don't come for prayer otherwise.
A friend of mine he he had an interview is a is a is a scholar,
he had an interview with a particular Masjid. So they invited
him for an interview. This was in another country, they invited for
the interview of the fajr prayer, right?
Which is quite normal in that country to do it. He got there for
Fudger. Right? Interview time is after he got there for Voyager and
nobody is there.
Right? So you thought like, when's the when's the in the Z waited,
and then they all came after fajr. For the interview, he says I can't
be any mom, human.
So he left. So it says prestige, a status thing to be part of the
Committee of chemistry, though it sounds so great, doesn't it? One
has to be very careful. We in fact, I mean, I don't want to go
off on a tangent here. In many of our committees, we've got just
placeholders, right, they've been strategically placed or
politically placed or just absolutely wasting their time and
wasting everybody else's money on time.
Let us not become like that. If you want to do something, do
something if you can't do something, move away and do
something else.
Because all of this is spiritually a problem. That's what he's
saying. It's spiritually a problem, even if it's mobile,
meaning neutrally permissible. Even so.
We've only got so much time in the world. But in every moment of our
time, we should be thinking, how am I How am I going to benefit
myself or somebody else? How can I do something to get sadaqa jariya?
How can I do something to elevate my status? How can I do something
to gain more rewards? For example, let's just say that you you had a
meeting. So you got there and the person comes half an hour late.
You have to sit there the thing we will generally do is put our phone
on and
Okay, if you have to put your phone and do some work, you know,
get rid of some email, that's fine. But if you're going to just
get it to speak carrier to speak with you and just said, Okay,
fine, it's half an hour. But you know, in this time, I can read a
bit of Quran I've got my Quran left to do today, or I've got some
disputes to do, you must think like this, even when you're
driving, personally, I've got a DSB that, you know, on my
indicator handle is just hanging there. Right, you need to remind
yourself, in fact, on in biking, I've been thinking that maybe I
need to get a test be, right, because you know, what you do, you
start your biking and you start biking and you start thinking,
Okay, I'm going to start doing it this way you do it, and then you
get distracted, because you have to concentrate. So then you
forget, you start daydreaming about something else. But if
you've got a test be on your handlebar. Right? You one of those
ticktick ones, one of those electronic ones or those digital
ones, that might be a you're gonna have to think of things to do to
be useful in this life. Right? That's what I'm saying. You have
to be people are creative to facilitate things in this world.
We're living in a time of huge innovation. Right, where people
are thinking and, you know, look at the patents that are being
filed every day for new ideas. Right? So a cycle this week,
right? Because we were Why isn't anybody doing that for religious
things for righteous things?
I mean, people are mashallah, right? But that's what we need to
do we really need to think how can we can efficiently do our record
and maximise on that? So yeah, keep it keep it as be hanging, you
know, on your car, in your car, so that when you're driving, you can
you know, you can drive?
I mean, maybe somebody can come up with some digital function there
as well. I mean, if they want to, because they do let me know.
That's, that's what that is what you call se il Allah, which means
traveling to Allah, by focusing the heart to Allah subhanaw taala.
But, but it has to be while you're opposing the Shahar words, even if
they're permissible ones, the desires even if they're
permissible ones, Taliban Lima Dotty light Allah, why do you
avoid all of these things that are distracting you because you want
to achieve the
satisfaction of Allah, that must be your goal, nothing else. Your
goal must be that I'm doing this to set it. You see what Allah
really wants in all of this is that you turn to Him.
So if you're, if we are abandoning things, not for the sake of Allah,
then we're not really turning to him. That's not no benefits. It's
only a benefit when you do it for Allah. So you're thinking of
Allah, I'm abandoning this because I want to do it for Allah.
What he thought on law, who Allah masiva and giving him preference,
preferring Allah over all else
for say, Ruka sever beef his so look, so this side, this traveling
right to Allah is literally like them, like the cause to the solute
that was discussed earlier of then ascending. This is the first level
basically, he talked about the second level before the first
level. The second level is when you start ascending, right, once
you've reached the path, but to reach that path, you need to first
oppose the self even of permissible things. And focus the
heart on Allah, that's the traveling to Allah, then you start
elevating yourself filler, right. So what got you to La Cosa Lukoil
mana Thani a number sometimes the word salute can be used for either
of these two stages. So basically, in conclusion, there are two
stages. The first stage is to basically free ourselves from all
the distractions and focus on Allah. And then once we get close
enough, Allah will determine that then, once you've done that, moja
that then you start ascending by doing additional additional wotja.
So sometimes they refer to see Luke as the second one and
sometimes both of them otherwise, the first one is what you call
save traveling to Allah. And the second one is the SU Luke. But
otherwise, this can also be caused. In fact, a lot of the time
the first one is called to Luke as well. Because to Luke means to
travel as well, and Satan means to travel as well. They both mean the
same thing, literally speaking
was Toluca, illallah heeta da da tariqa to be in our Siddiqui in
our own Amma Ilana Marina Illa and the whole motel if
you see everybody the Sulu kill Allah, everybody takes a path to
Allah. It's a journey, everybody does it. Right? It is the way of
the prophets. That's what they do. It is the way of the city team,
the champions of truth those really who verified themselves in
front of Allah, and of course, also the practicing orlimar except
that for each of those three categories of people the Sudoku is
different. Right? The way of Sudoku is different for each of
them for Sulu, Colombia. It was Salatu was Salam MEBO who attack
him in new Fuson mata hauraton come earlier.
In LR man learning Hi Attila hormonal mahkamah Talia Sania
obviously for a profit, they don't need that first section. They
don't need the first part because they are NuForce muta Hara
their their new foods, new foods, the plural of knifes, right? Which
means their
selves, their souls, the Eagles whatever are already purified.
They don't have to do that first part.
Mashallah, so the solute of the Gambia, the MO salah upon me,
peace and blessings, their pseudo begins from an elevation begins at
an elevation from purified selves, accomplished completely purified
selves to an infinite level of the various different stages of Ehsaan
of perfection. Those are just infinite levels that Allah takes
them to that we just can't even think about. Only they can
experience that that's a very special category that nobody else
gets to go to. But they start off at a very high stage already,
which is that they're already purified and perfected. Then they
just start going up from there to these Exxon states of Exxon,
right. Then you have What'd he have enough see him wotofo it?
Obviously, the levels that they can ascend to it's not just one
monolithic level, it's not one level, it's there's going to be a
lot of levels within that. But that's up to them for Su Kunal
azmin, whom Allah was a gentleman, Saluki hated him. So even among
the prophets that authorized me Mina rustlers, Allah speaks about
them and gives them that designation in the Quran, which is
who who is the guru last minute Russell? The ones of high
resolution, a full resolution Who are they?
Ibrahim Ali Salam, Musa Ali, Salaam esala Salam, new Khalifa,
these are the famous ones right? With the Prophet SAW. These are
all lies within there's a hierarchy. Right? There's a
hierarchy Tilka Rusu, for Donna about the Hamada about right.
Those are the messengers, we've given some virtue of others, but
they all great, so it's not to denigrate any of them. It's just
to show that some have a higher level than others. So he says that
the solute
of the oral Azim among them, the ones of high resolution is the
highest level of solute, and the most majestic level of solute
compared to anybody else was to go see the oil, Azmi Ali, he, what
led him after the solid he was asleep, or Salem, or alarming lady
and even among them, there's a hierarchy which is Muhammad
Sallallahu Adeosun.
So the solute of the leader of the realism
right upon him and upon them be the choicest blessings and peace
is obviously going to be higher than even the others is Muda, who
Allahu Akbar is not the only hire to Lady because his beginning is
where the others have ended, or will end.
That's the promise of awesome and you know, I think that's never
better encapsulated than boo series Buddha, where he says
amazing things that sounds so incredible and they seem like an
exaggeration. But if you reread the Hadith at what ALLAH SubhanA
wa Allah has given the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam that
none of that is an exaggeration.
The fact that Musa Musa wanted to see Allah and he was not allowed
to write in this world.
Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Muhammad Sallallahu
Sallam is not only he's taken up to when no other man has ever
been. He is told to meet the prophets, including Mousavi
Salaam. And then he goes beyond where even an angel can go.
Where Gibreel says, Okay, I can't go beyond. And he goes in and
meets with Allah and according to ignore busca de and others, he
actually saw Allah.
There's no comparison between him and the other prophets even.
Because, and that's what he's saying. I mean, this is what he's
claiming. He says that his beginning is where the other
prophets end. That's why Bill CV says that if you want a
comparison, he the other prophets compared to the Prophet salallahu
Salam is like you know, when you have Arabic writing, and you have
Al hamdu, Lillahi Rabbil Alameen, and you have the vowels on top,
the Fatah's and casseras.
If you look at the relationship between the letter, the letters
and the vowels, clearly the letters are much more significant
because you could still read without the vowels for those who
understand Arabic since the prophets or the prophets or like
the, the vowels and he is like the letters that's the comparison.
This is not to denigrate any, this is just to show how high he is.
They are higher than any other human being can get to anyway, and
he's higher than them all. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina,
Muhammad wa ala Elisa, you dinner Mohamed Roberto Salam
I mean, this is a Friday. Today is a Friday and obviously it's the
time to do tech fear of sort of Wharton School allah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam both the night and in the daytime. So we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to send his choices, blessings on our
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, as long as
tongues continue
to do his praise. And we ask Allah to send blessings on him as much
as he is worthy of receiving the blessings because it's beyond us
to be able to fulfill that right. So as much as it is right to
receive the blessings as much as we should give him blessings but
we can't. So we are then consigning the MATA to Allah
subhanaw taala to give him that blessing of Allah grant him enough
blessings as much as
all the creation of Allah that has ever existed and will ever exist
in this world. What a Masuku hated him for I mean, for I mean no
foresee no forcing a moderate in hola woma didn't hold money yet
Ilana I've seen Camelot in CDT yet him
as for other than profits, then we're all in the same category.
But then obviously, some people will start to feel a bit better
than in others. What is that? It says the salute of anybody but the
prophets is the beginning. I mean, this really puts things in
perspective, it starts off from the knifes Amara Allah warmer
Romania which means that we start off at various different levels we
either start off with a knifes which is telling us to do stuff
right to indulge in showers to do this and in engage in that and
enjoy that and enjoy that. So we either starting from there and if
it's any better than that then we're we're then going to start
otherwise from enough sulla wormable Money a darkened
low lawanna enough's reproaching self. So we still doing wrong and
but at least we've got enough that
tells us off. I think that generally happens when you're
addicted. And then you start mashallah Ramadan has come through
or you've been hijacked, or you've heard a lecture or you've read
some Quran or you've we've maybe confronted some kind of setback or
shortcoming or downfall or some kind of accident or some other
misery in our life and then we start thinking are these things
benefit to us and that's where Allah sends them to us.
That's what Allah sends him.
That's why they say that, you know, when you're feeling
emotional,
and you can easily tear
then don't waste don't waste that opportunity.
Cry for the sake of Allah. We can't do that other times. But if
you're emotional, it's your time of the month, right? Or meaning
for the sisters or, you know, there's just something else that's
happened.
Then use that time to do a dua to Allah subhanaw taala with a tear.
Do that time for a bit of maraca with tears,
because it's difficult to muster those tears at other times, and
here they are on free flow, so don't waste them.
Crying is good.
Subhanallah who's going to tell us that
crying is good.
