00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al
hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08
			Salatu was Salam wa ala so you
didn't mursaleen while he was sabe
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			he he marine Amma Baron
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:17
			we have been discussing, reaching
the level of servitude and level
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:21
			of Siddiqui, these are various
different ranks in the path to
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			To understand, and to master
anything, you have to break it
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			down to its individual components.
And then you have to master those
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:34
			individual components, then only
can you master the thing as a
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			whole. So, when you take the
example of football, or you take
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42
			the example of biking, something
simple, biking is not just jumping
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:46
			on a bike and then riding, there's
if you want to master biking,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:51
			there's several components to
biking. One of them is how much
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:56
			effort you put in pedaling how the
gears work. Both the different the
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			back gears, the front gears,
various different types of gears
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:04
			breaking, even using the brakes,
because the back brake,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			if you use it,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:13
			if you use it improperly, you
could, you could skid, right. And
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			if you use the front brake
improperly, you could actually
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:20
			somersault off, but then the front
brake is actually stronger than
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:25
			the back brake, it's more
powerful. So to understand that,
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			for somebody who's going to
understand braking, braking, when
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			you're going around a turn,
braking, sudden braking, all of
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:39
			these have to be mastered to be a
good biker. The best way to adjust
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			the gears when going uphill, the
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			best way to do things when you're
coming downhill, you have to
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:49
			individually master all of these
things and break it down to those
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			portions. So for example, with
regards to braking says that you
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			should if you really want to break
fast, you need to use 40% of the
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			front brake and 60% of the back
brake to keep the balance.
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			Otherwise too much of one or the
other could go wrong and make it
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			worse. So likewise in everything.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			It's likewise in everything. So
now what they're saying is what
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14
			we're speaking about here now is
that the author Imam, that the
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:20
			Rahimullah is discussing the path
that leads to the station of pure
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			servitude. We're all servants
something we can't deny, but we
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			don't act like servants and we
don't play the part we forget
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:29
			that. So he's telling us the way
to get to that so he says Well,
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:35
			ah, yes, hello. Wala Yes, who will
will sue la hired an ill be muda
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			Amati Vickery La ilaha illallah
Leyland, when a Hara
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:43
			if you think that you could give
beta to a shake or a tender
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47
			measureless or be part of a group,
and then suddenly you're going to
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:52
			be put on to an escalator, or a
lift or an elevator or even a
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:56
			rocket and you don't have to do
anything. Right then that's
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			grossly wrong. Right, you still
have to climb the steps. They just
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:05
			tell you which steps to climb. So
here he's saying that there is no
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:13
			easy way to gain this level of
servitude. Generally speaking, I
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			heard that and he said, because
with Allah's mercy, and Khurana
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			said, Allah subhanaw taala could
give somebody has a special
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:26
			ticket. But generally, in general,
he says, it's very difficult. It
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:31
			is not easy to reach the station
of servitude, except with
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:36
			permanence and regularity on the
remembrance of la ilaha illallah
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			day and nice
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:43
			to repeat La Ilaha illa Allah day
in and day out, night in and night
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:48
			out. That is what's necessary.
That's the way a person is going
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:52
			to understand their position in
this world, and solidify their
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			servitude. Otherwise arrogance
will creep in. A person will be
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			very far from feeling like a
servant of Allah. And not only in
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:04
			their actions, but the worst part,
right which we've seen the worst
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			one may Allah protect is not
inaction, but in belief. When that
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:12
			starts effecting a person's
belief, it means it effects the
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:18
			person's Iman. Because when we
have less servitude, and a person
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			becomes arrogant, less dependent
on Allah subhanaw taala this
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:26
			feeling of independence from Allah
subhanaw taala is very dangerous,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			then you will start getting
confused and shaytan will cause
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:35
			doubts in your belief in your
Aqeedah why is this hadith like
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:40
			this? Why does it mention is this
Why is do I have to do this? Why
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:44
			do I have to pray? Why can I eat
like this? Why can't I date Why
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			can't I do this? Why can't I do
that? These are all signs of the
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			lowness of faith because higher
from Allah subhanaw taala will be
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			lost modesty and chastity and
bashfulness from Allah subhanho wa
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:59
			Taala it will be lost higher is
essentially higher is such an
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			important
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			branch of Islam is just one branch
of the 77 branches. But it is such
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			an important branch that the
prophets have also mentioned that
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:11
			they'll hire Amina Iman. Reason is
that higher fluctuates with iman.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:15
			It's I mean, what they would call
in a posh term concomitant to
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			Iman, which means that they both
rise and,
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			and become lower, concomitantly
together. When emaan increases,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:29
			the hire should increase. And if
the man decreases, the hire
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:34
			decreases. If somebody thinks that
they have, you know, if somebody
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:36
			thinks that they can call
themselves
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			think that they've got high Iman
and they're not exercising,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:47
			they're not going according to the
laws of higher and modesty, then
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:48
			that's a gross error.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:54
			That's a gross error. Generally,
most people they refer to higher
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			as a cloth on your head. For
women, as though men don't have to
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			have higher higher is a lot beyond
that, which is to protect the mind
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			to protect the heart to protect to
protect the actions from anything
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			that Allah subhanaw taala doesn't
want us to do.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:13
			So it's not just the cloth on the
head. That's not enough. That's
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			just an outward manifestation of
an aspect of higher.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:24
			So he says that saying La ilaha
illallah over and over again, with
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28
			all of the adapt that he mentioned
earlier. That is what's going to
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:34
			facilitate. That's going to give
you a bit of an escalation to
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:40
			servitude. Along with that he
says, Marta, local Colby, Billahi,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:45
			Wada, while jewelry was Sahara,
whether it is Al and in US was
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:50
			some Allah, Allah and decree law
he to Allah. So not only should
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			you be repeating La ilaha
illallah, for example, what we
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:57
			could do is we could make a word
that after every salad, or if I'm
		
00:06:57 --> 00:07:00
			going to the masjid, for example,
waiting for prayer, then I'll I'll
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:05
			do a speech of la ilaha illAllah.
After every Salat, I won't move
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:10
			from there until I do it, maybe 50
times 10 times 100 times 200 times
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:14
			whatever is easy for a person,
we're gonna have to set these
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			goals minimum is 100 times a day,
that's a minimum. But the more we
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:21
			do that, that is what escalates
you. That's what gives you the
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			speed to do that, but along with
that,
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			the relationship of the heart the
attachment of the heart must be
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:34
			with Allah alone, and nothing
else. Actively, we must try to
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:38
			disassociate our heart. Now, don't
get me wrong, when you say
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:41
			disassociate our heart, people
think of all sorts of things, they
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			think it means just don't do
anything. That's not what it
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:48
			means. It means we're still going
to eat, we're still going to be
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			meeting people, right, we're still
going to fill out fulfill our
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:58
			responsibilities, we're still
going to study, we're still going
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:01
			to have to work. But it's just
that our heart isn't going to be
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			part of it.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			There should be nothing that
overtakes the heart, except Allah
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			subhanaw taala, though in action,
we have to do whatever we have to
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:11
			do as people of the world.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			Today, they say that the new
addiction is binge watching on
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			Netflix, because it gives you
access to matter, no series of
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:27
			things. So you need to finish them
all in the weekend. Over, so then
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:33
			people are stressed at work.
Because, you know, before on TV,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:36
			you had to wait for the program.
And if you missed it, you missed
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			it, unless you recorded it. But
now there's hundreds of channels.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:46
			That's how satellite TV was. And
now it's all on demand. You can
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:49
			literally just wait until the
whole series finishes and just
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			watch everything together and
three days
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			Subhanallah these are all various
new forms of addiction.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			So the heart must never connect to
anything like that. Must not never
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			connect to anything but Allah
subhanaw taala. And while jus
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:11
			Iwasa. You must remain hungry for
the sake of Allah. How do you
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			remain hungry for the sake of
Allah.
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:17
			As by fasting, we've been told how
to do that. So don't come up with
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			any new ways to do that. We
already know how to do that
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:24
			there's a way to do that which is
fasting and Sahara which means to
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			stay awake at night to spend
portion of the night for Allah
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:30
			subhanaw taala. That is obviously
through your Tahajjud prayer and
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:30
			so on.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Basically, what he's trying to say
is that we're going to have to
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			come out of our comfort zone and
dedicate that which we love, our
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:45
			sleep, our food, etc. We're going
to have to dedicate that to Allah
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			to show that we really mean it.
That I am a servant and I'm not as
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:50
			independent I think I want to be
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			and then we'll let it dissolve and
in us we also going to have to cut
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			away from people for a while. So
our social
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			Life.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:05
			We need a social life. All Muslims
need a social life but it needs to
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:11
			be very carefully chosen. We read
in recital, Mr. Sheen, that any
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:16
			friend that you're not benefiting
from religiously speaking, then
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			you need to abandon that friend,
because he's not truly a friend.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:23
			So if we can surround ourselves
with better people, associated
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:24
			with better people,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:30
			or we can influence in good, then
that's what we must do. Everything
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:34
			needs to be for a good purpose.
While some Illa and decorilla
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:39
			heater Allah and trying to remain
silent and quiet, unless it's for
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			the Dhikr of Allah as much as
possible, of course, humans need
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:44
			to speak that's why we've been
given a tongue to speak with,
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			right our tongues are not just for
the vicar of Allah. They are
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:53
			obviously to speak because we need
to do our worldly transactions
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			with it. But if that's all we use
it for and we never use them for
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:58
			the Dhikr of Allah then that's a
problem.
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:07
			Then he says one Willa Havarti,
ducky Yeti arconic prodigality say
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			it by Onuoha insha Allah hooter
Isla,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:15
			a person must then also observe to
gain this level of OBEDIA and
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:20
			servitude a person must also
observe the remaining integrals
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			and principles of the path which
will soon explain later we will
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			soon be explaining is going to go
through the other principles of
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:27
			the path.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:32
			Those need to be observed as well
insha Allah Who to Allah, and he
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:35
			says all of this is called
Mujahidin,
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			while while Musa will Musa this is
what you call Bucha. You probably
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:43
			heard the term before. So you see
the benefit of this that we're
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			going through is that all of these
terms will be put in place now
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:49
			what is Mujahidin? This is all
Mujahidin, which I had a means to
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:55
			exert yourself to take the name of
Allah day and night to associate
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			the heart with Allah attach the
heart with Allah
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:05
			to remain hungry sometimes for the
sake of Allah, exercise hunger and
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:07
			spend some of the night for him
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			to choose our friends wisely
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:14
			and to restrain our tongue
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:20
			that's what you call moja Allah
subhanaw taala says, so this is
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:24
			Mujahid. All right. What do you
get on Mujahidin? What is Allah
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			promised on Bucha they says well,
Latina Jaha do fina, then a hottie
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:29
			in the home Sulochana.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			Those who exert themselves in us
in our path for us for our sake,
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			then we will guide them to our
paths.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			Those pipes are closed. Those need
keys from Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			They need a smart card, they need
a key. They need a password. That
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:56
			password can only be unlocked by
Mujahidin.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			It's like, I mean, today, all of
these things are so easy to
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			understand that the more you play
on a game, and then you suddenly
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:08
			unlock certain levels and so on.
Right? It's such a cheap example
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			to be honest, right for such a
great thing. But so many people I
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:13
			mean, because today we have
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			games for adults as well, which
people you know, a few 100 years
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:22
			ago to pro laughter right? But now
we have games for adults and
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:25
			there's an addiction obviously,
medically, that's what's being
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			discussed right now. Wow, the
Torah will have the turkey now all
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:32
			of this is an elevation. As soon
as Allah opens up paths to you,
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			that's an elevation. That means
you're being ascended. Right,
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			you're you're rising up. That's
what you call al Musa B so look.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			You heard the word salute us,
right. So Luke, so Luke, so Luke,
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:50
			Sue, Chris, literally, this is
this effort that you're making,
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			and then you're furthering
yourself on the path that is what
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			you call pseudo killer medical
model look
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:00
			to the King of all kings. This is
what you call Saluki, which means
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:05
			the path taking the path Celica
Yes, local solution, which means
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			to adopt a path and take it. So
essentially, that's what's
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:13
			happening here. So all of this is
what they call journeying in
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:18
			Allah. Right. Then Then there's
one Macedo il Allah heeta Allah
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:22
			for whatever Juval Calbee Illa
Robbie Manmohan effort enough
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			sufficient Awatea what a MOBA
Hutton Paderborn Lima Dotty la
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:30
			heeta Allah wa II thought Allahu
Allah mercy WA, the concept of
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			save Illa traveling to Allah.
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:41
			Traveling to Allah, that is when
the heart becomes, turns its
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:46
			attention towards the Lord. While
opposing all the demands of the
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			knifes.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:52
			The enough's wants to do binge
watching. The novice wants to do a
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			lot of gaming. The knifes wants to
just sit back and waste time. Just
		
00:14:59 --> 00:14:59
			play
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			football all the time, or binge
watch your highlights of your
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			favorite team or whatever the case
is, you know all of these various
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			different things that people do.
Right? So to go against enough
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			snow, I don't want to do that. And
I want to focus my heart on Allah
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:18
			subhanho wa taala. He says that
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			if you're really serious, then
it's not about just
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			opposing the self in Haram
desires,
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:33
			but also in the permissible
desires.
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:36
			So for example, it's permissible
to
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			eat out every day.
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			Right? And you think, okay, it's
going to save my wife a lot of
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			time. I'm talking to the men. And
for the women, they'll say it's
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			going to save me from cooking,
right if the women are cooking in
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:52
			the house, so let's eat out every
day.
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:58
			Now, of course, if both people are
so mashallah involved in the dean,
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			the work of the dean that they
have no time to cook, and they've
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:03
			Qaid their catering hamdulillah
that's fine. That's
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			understandable.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:10
			But if it's, I'm just indulging
everyday I'm going to eat out. And
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			you go to different places like
Bombay, Karachi, Dubai, Singapore,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			these places are known to be food
havens, because you get all
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			different types of cuisine. So
what people do there is they don't
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			eat at home, they just go out and
indulge. So they do it for an
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:27
			indulgence reason, because they
want to try different cuisines
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			every day. Now, you could I mean,
you could call that a throw off,
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			maybe, but otherwise, it's
permissible to a certain degree.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:39
			But it's against the normal nature
of how Allah wants us to do
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:39
			things.
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			You probably end up with a
stomachache eventually, with all
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:46
			that, Richard anyway, I mean,
that's just probably not the right
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			way to do things anyway. Right.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			So even permissible things,
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			permissible things like maybe just
playing football is permissible.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			Now, playing football for an
exercise is good. But then playing
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:03
			too much football because you're
addicted to it.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:07
			You just keep playing football
over and over again. Because you
		
00:17:07 --> 00:17:09
			just love the exhilaration it
gives you
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			so it's come out of an exercise,
right to stay fit.
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:17
			You're still going to stay fit
with it. But that's just an
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:21
			excuse. Now, you don't have to
play every day, to keep going out
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:21
			with the friends
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			to go outside to the masjid,
right, which is a good thing,
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:31
			right? To go to the masjid for
five for your McRaven Asia. But
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			then standing outside after
salads, and talking until Isha
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:37
			with your mother admonition and
depriving your family at home.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:41
			That's MOBA. Meaning is
permissible. But
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:46
			it's just a shower. It's again
fulfilling a desire.
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			In fact, if the only reason you go
to the masjid for prayer, is
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:53
			because you meet your friends,
		
00:17:55 --> 00:17:57
			then that's a problem because I
know when we were young, that's
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			what we used to do it for. Because
you get to meet your friends and
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			messing around a bit. But adults
do it for Punjab reasons, right.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:08
			In fact, some people join moss
committees purely for that reason.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			I don't want to judge people but I
know this for sure.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			Because they only come for
meetings they only come in the
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			salad is with the meeting. They
don't come for prayer otherwise.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:22
			A friend of mine he he had an
interview is a is a is a scholar,
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			he had an interview with a
particular Masjid. So they invited
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:29
			him for an interview. This was in
another country, they invited for
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:31
			the interview of the fajr prayer,
right?
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:35
			Which is quite normal in that
country to do it. He got there for
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			Fudger. Right? Interview time is
after he got there for Voyager and
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			nobody is there.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:44
			Right? So you thought like, when's
the when's the in the Z waited,
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:47
			and then they all came after fajr.
For the interview, he says I can't
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:48
			be any mom, human.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:55
			So he left. So it says prestige, a
status thing to be part of the
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:58
			Committee of chemistry, though it
sounds so great, doesn't it? One
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:01
			has to be very careful. We in
fact, I mean, I don't want to go
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			off on a tangent here. In many of
our committees, we've got just
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:08
			placeholders, right, they've been
strategically placed or
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12
			politically placed or just
absolutely wasting their time and
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			wasting everybody else's money on
time.
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:18
			Let us not become like that. If
you want to do something, do
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			something if you can't do
something, move away and do
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:20
			something else.
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			Because all of this is spiritually
a problem. That's what he's
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			saying. It's spiritually a
problem, even if it's mobile,
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:31
			meaning neutrally permissible.
Even so.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			We've only got so much time in the
world. But in every moment of our
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:40
			time, we should be thinking, how
am I How am I going to benefit
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			myself or somebody else? How can I
do something to get sadaqa jariya?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			How can I do something to elevate
my status? How can I do something
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			to gain more rewards? For example,
let's just say that you you had a
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:56
			meeting. So you got there and the
person comes half an hour late.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			You have to sit there the thing we
will generally do is put our phone
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			on and
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			Okay, if you have to put your
phone and do some work, you know,
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:05
			get rid of some email, that's
fine. But if you're going to just
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			get it to speak carrier to speak
with you and just said, Okay,
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:11
			fine, it's half an hour. But you
know, in this time, I can read a
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:14
			bit of Quran I've got my Quran
left to do today, or I've got some
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			disputes to do, you must think
like this, even when you're
		
00:20:17 --> 00:20:21
			driving, personally, I've got a
DSB that, you know, on my
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:28
			indicator handle is just hanging
there. Right, you need to remind
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			yourself, in fact, on in biking,
I've been thinking that maybe I
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			need to get a test be, right,
because you know, what you do, you
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			start your biking and you start
biking and you start thinking,
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:39
			Okay, I'm going to start doing it
this way you do it, and then you
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:42
			get distracted, because you have
to concentrate. So then you
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			forget, you start daydreaming
about something else. But if
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			you've got a test be on your
handlebar. Right? You one of those
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			ticktick ones, one of those
electronic ones or those digital
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:57
			ones, that might be a you're gonna
have to think of things to do to
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			be useful in this life. Right?
That's what I'm saying. You have
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			to be people are creative to
facilitate things in this world.
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:09
			We're living in a time of huge
innovation. Right, where people
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			are thinking and, you know, look
at the patents that are being
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:17
			filed every day for new ideas.
Right? So a cycle this week,
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			right? Because we were Why isn't
anybody doing that for religious
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:23
			things for righteous things?
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			I mean, people are mashallah,
right? But that's what we need to
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			do we really need to think how can
we can efficiently do our record
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:34
			and maximise on that? So yeah,
keep it keep it as be hanging, you
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			know, on your car, in your car, so
that when you're driving, you can
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			you know, you can drive?
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			I mean, maybe somebody can come up
with some digital function there
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			as well. I mean, if they want to,
because they do let me know.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:50
			That's, that's what that is what
you call se il Allah, which means
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:55
			traveling to Allah, by focusing
the heart to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:22:00
			But, but it has to be while you're
opposing the Shahar words, even if
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			they're permissible ones, the
desires even if they're
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			permissible ones, Taliban Lima
Dotty light Allah, why do you
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			avoid all of these things that are
distracting you because you want
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:12
			to achieve the
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:18
			satisfaction of Allah, that must
be your goal, nothing else. Your
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			goal must be that I'm doing this
to set it. You see what Allah
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:24
			really wants in all of this is
that you turn to Him.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:29
			So if you're, if we are abandoning
things, not for the sake of Allah,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			then we're not really turning to
him. That's not no benefits. It's
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			only a benefit when you do it for
Allah. So you're thinking of
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			Allah, I'm abandoning this because
I want to do it for Allah.
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:44
			What he thought on law, who Allah
masiva and giving him preference,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			preferring Allah over all else
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:53
			for say, Ruka sever beef his so
look, so this side, this traveling
		
00:22:53 --> 00:23:02
			right to Allah is literally like
them, like the cause to the solute
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:07
			that was discussed earlier of then
ascending. This is the first level
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09
			basically, he talked about the
second level before the first
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			level. The second level is when
you start ascending, right, once
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:16
			you've reached the path, but to
reach that path, you need to first
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			oppose the self even of
permissible things. And focus the
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			heart on Allah, that's the
traveling to Allah, then you start
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:30
			elevating yourself filler, right.
So what got you to La Cosa Lukoil
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			mana Thani a number sometimes the
word salute can be used for either
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:35
			of these two stages. So basically,
in conclusion, there are two
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:40
			stages. The first stage is to
basically free ourselves from all
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:45
			the distractions and focus on
Allah. And then once we get close
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			enough, Allah will determine that
then, once you've done that, moja
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			that then you start ascending by
doing additional additional wotja.
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:57
			So sometimes they refer to see
Luke as the second one and
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:00
			sometimes both of them otherwise,
the first one is what you call
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:04
			save traveling to Allah. And the
second one is the SU Luke. But
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			otherwise, this can also be
caused. In fact, a lot of the time
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:09
			the first one is called to Luke as
well. Because to Luke means to
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:12
			travel as well, and Satan means to
travel as well. They both mean the
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			same thing, literally speaking
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:20
			was Toluca, illallah heeta da da
tariqa to be in our Siddiqui in
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:23
			our own Amma Ilana Marina Illa and
the whole motel if
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			you see everybody the Sulu kill
Allah, everybody takes a path to
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			Allah. It's a journey, everybody
does it. Right? It is the way of
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:37
			the prophets. That's what they do.
It is the way of the city team,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:41
			the champions of truth those
really who verified themselves in
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:44
			front of Allah, and of course,
also the practicing orlimar except
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:47
			that for each of those three
categories of people the Sudoku is
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:51
			different. Right? The way of
Sudoku is different for each of
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			them for Sulu, Colombia. It was
Salatu was Salam MEBO who attack
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			In LR man learning Hi Attila
hormonal mahkamah Talia Sania
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			obviously for a profit, they don't
need that first section. They
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			don't need the first part because
they are NuForce muta Hara
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			their their new foods, new foods,
the plural of knifes, right? Which
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:18
			means their
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:24
			selves, their souls, the Eagles
whatever are already purified.
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:27
			They don't have to do that first
part.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:31
			Mashallah, so the solute of the
Gambia, the MO salah upon me,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:38
			peace and blessings, their pseudo
begins from an elevation begins at
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:46
			an elevation from purified selves,
accomplished completely purified
		
00:25:46 --> 00:25:52
			selves to an infinite level of the
various different stages of Ehsaan
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			of perfection. Those are just
infinite levels that Allah takes
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:01
			them to that we just can't even
think about. Only they can
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:05
			experience that that's a very
special category that nobody else
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			gets to go to. But they start off
at a very high stage already,
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:11
			which is that they're already
purified and perfected. Then they
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			just start going up from there to
these Exxon states of Exxon,
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			right. Then you have What'd he
have enough see him wotofo it?
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			Obviously, the levels that they
can ascend to it's not just one
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:26
			monolithic level, it's not one
level, it's there's going to be a
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:31
			lot of levels within that. But
that's up to them for Su Kunal
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:36
			azmin, whom Allah was a gentleman,
Saluki hated him. So even among
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:39
			the prophets that authorized me
Mina rustlers, Allah speaks about
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:42
			them and gives them that
designation in the Quran, which is
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			who who is the guru last minute
Russell? The ones of high
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			resolution, a full resolution Who
are they?
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:54
			Ibrahim Ali Salam, Musa Ali,
Salaam esala Salam, new Khalifa,
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			these are the famous ones right?
With the Prophet SAW. These are
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			all lies within there's a
hierarchy. Right? There's a
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:04
			hierarchy Tilka Rusu, for Donna
about the Hamada about right.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:08
			Those are the messengers, we've
given some virtue of others, but
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:11
			they all great, so it's not to
denigrate any of them. It's just
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:15
			to show that some have a higher
level than others. So he says that
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			the solute
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:21
			of the oral Azim among them, the
ones of high resolution is the
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:26
			highest level of solute, and the
most majestic level of solute
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:31
			compared to anybody else was to go
see the oil, Azmi Ali, he, what
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:35
			led him after the solid he was
asleep, or Salem, or alarming lady
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:38
			and even among them, there's a
hierarchy which is Muhammad
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:39
			Sallallahu Adeosun.
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:43
			So the solute of the leader of the
realism
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			right upon him and upon them be
the choicest blessings and peace
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:53
			is obviously going to be higher
than even the others is Muda, who
		
00:27:53 --> 00:27:59
			Allahu Akbar is not the only hire
to Lady because his beginning is
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:02
			where the others have ended, or
will end.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			That's the promise of awesome and
you know, I think that's never
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:10
			better encapsulated than boo
series Buddha, where he says
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			amazing things that sounds so
incredible and they seem like an
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:20
			exaggeration. But if you reread
the Hadith at what ALLAH SubhanA
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:23
			wa Allah has given the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam that
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:24
			none of that is an exaggeration.
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:30
			The fact that Musa Musa wanted to
see Allah and he was not allowed
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:32
			to write in this world.
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:35
			Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam Muhammad Sallallahu
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:40
			Sallam is not only he's taken up
to when no other man has ever
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			been. He is told to meet the
prophets, including Mousavi
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			Salaam. And then he goes beyond
where even an angel can go.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			Where Gibreel says, Okay, I can't
go beyond. And he goes in and
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:56
			meets with Allah and according to
ignore busca de and others, he
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			actually saw Allah.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			There's no comparison between him
and the other prophets even.
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:04
			Because, and that's what he's
saying. I mean, this is what he's
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:08
			claiming. He says that his
beginning is where the other
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			prophets end. That's why Bill CV
says that if you want a
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:16
			comparison, he the other prophets
compared to the Prophet salallahu
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:20
			Salam is like you know, when you
have Arabic writing, and you have
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:23
			Al hamdu, Lillahi Rabbil Alameen,
and you have the vowels on top,
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			the Fatah's and casseras.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:32
			If you look at the relationship
between the letter, the letters
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:35
			and the vowels, clearly the
letters are much more significant
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			because you could still read
without the vowels for those who
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:41
			understand Arabic since the
prophets or the prophets or like
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:45
			the, the vowels and he is like the
letters that's the comparison.
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			This is not to denigrate any, this
is just to show how high he is.
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			They are higher than any other
human being can get to anyway, and
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			he's higher than them all.
Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina,
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			Muhammad wa ala Elisa, you dinner
Mohamed Roberto Salam
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			I mean, this is a Friday. Today is
a Friday and obviously it's the
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:07
			time to do tech fear of sort of
Wharton School allah sallallahu
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:11
			alayhi wa sallam both the night
and in the daytime. So we ask
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:15
			Allah subhanaw taala to send his
choices, blessings on our
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:18
			messenger Muhammad sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam, as long as
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:19
			tongues continue
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:26
			to do his praise. And we ask Allah
to send blessings on him as much
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			as he is worthy of receiving the
blessings because it's beyond us
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:34
			to be able to fulfill that right.
So as much as it is right to
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:38
			receive the blessings as much as
we should give him blessings but
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			we can't. So we are then
consigning the MATA to Allah
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:45
			subhanaw taala to give him that
blessing of Allah grant him enough
		
00:30:45 --> 00:30:47
			blessings as much as
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			all the creation of Allah that has
ever existed and will ever exist
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:57
			in this world. What a Masuku hated
him for I mean, for I mean no
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:01
			foresee no forcing a moderate in
hola woma didn't hold money yet
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			Ilana I've seen Camelot in CDT yet
him
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			as for other than profits, then
we're all in the same category.
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11
			But then obviously, some people
will start to feel a bit better
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:15
			than in others. What is that? It
says the salute of anybody but the
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:19
			prophets is the beginning. I mean,
this really puts things in
		
00:31:19 --> 00:31:22
			perspective, it starts off from
the knifes Amara Allah warmer
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:27
			Romania which means that we start
off at various different levels we
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			either start off with a knifes
which is telling us to do stuff
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:37
			right to indulge in showers to do
this and in engage in that and
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			enjoy that and enjoy that. So we
either starting from there and if
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:45
			it's any better than that then
we're we're then going to start
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			otherwise from enough sulla
wormable Money a darkened
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:54
			low lawanna enough's reproaching
self. So we still doing wrong and
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:56
			but at least we've got enough that
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:02
			tells us off. I think that
generally happens when you're
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:06
			addicted. And then you start
mashallah Ramadan has come through
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:09
			or you've been hijacked, or you've
heard a lecture or you've read
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:14
			some Quran or you've we've maybe
confronted some kind of setback or
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:19
			shortcoming or downfall or some
kind of accident or some other
		
00:32:19 --> 00:32:22
			misery in our life and then we
start thinking are these things
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:24
			benefit to us and that's where
Allah sends them to us.
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:26
			That's what Allah sends him.
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			That's why they say that, you
know, when you're feeling
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:30
			emotional,
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:33
			and you can easily tear
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			then don't waste don't waste that
opportunity.
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:42
			Cry for the sake of Allah. We
can't do that other times. But if
		
00:32:42 --> 00:32:45
			you're emotional, it's your time
of the month, right? Or meaning
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:48
			for the sisters or, you know,
there's just something else that's
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			happened.
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:54
			Then use that time to do a dua to
Allah subhanaw taala with a tear.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:58
			Do that time for a bit of maraca
with tears,
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			because it's difficult to muster
those tears at other times, and
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:04
			here they are on free flow, so
don't waste them.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:06
			Crying is good.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			Subhanallah who's going to tell us
that
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			crying is good.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:18
			Don't suppress your crying just
direct it in the right way. Just
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			put it in the right direction.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			So yes, so for the rest of us we
start off through an absolute
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:28
			Amara, which is the the inciting
self or the reproaching self but
		
00:33:28 --> 00:33:32
			the dark self. And then we are
sort of goes from there. Illa

			illumination, they will again,
that will all be based on the
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:18
			Buddha, how the person started
where they were.
		
00:34:21 --> 00:34:24
			And I think that's why Imam
Ghazali wrote his final book, one
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:29
			of his final books was be Dietzel
hedaya, the beginning of guidance,
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:35
			the beginning of guidance, and
it's amazing how he sets the tone
		
00:34:35 --> 00:34:38
			of the book right from the
beginning. Because that really
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			matters how you set yourself up to
go.
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			For some people, Allah makes it
easy for some people, it's
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			difficult.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:51
			He's saying that if you if you do
more in the beginning by burning,
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:56
			write your knifes and desire then
there's going to be a greater
		
00:34:56 --> 00:35:00
			light at the end. The more the
effort is in the beginning
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:02
			There's going to be because the
more fuel you give it in the
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:06
			beginning by burning, then there's
more energy that's going to be
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:07
			created at the end.
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:11
			We ask Allah subhana wa Tada for
Tofik. These things sound so
		
00:35:11 --> 00:35:17
			difficult. They, in fact, I mean,
it's easy to comprehend in theory,
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:20
			but in terms of practice, it can
only come with the Tofik of Allah.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:25
			And Allah subhanaw taala has
placed us in this particular
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:29
			generation, where we have more
distractions and I think in
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:34
			historically, the world humanity
has ever had before the Adamic
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:38
			race has probably never had so
much distraction.
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:43
			So much means of distraction
Subhan Allah, but we're here for a
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:47
