AI: Summary ©
The segment discusses the concept of a " handy human being" that can command evil behavior and the "hammer" that can command evil behavior. The "naughty person" is crucial to achieving success in Islam, and the "fitna" is based on experiences and experiences are different depending on the stage of Islam. The segment also touches on the potential for Islam to create a "fitna" that is not possible, and the importance of helping others to make their lives easier.

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala so even more
saline or the or Safi over Rocco's unlimited Sleeman Kathira on your
Mateen Mr. Bharat since the last session which was about
the path to Allah subhanaw taala.
And aside from reciting La Ilaha illa Allah as much as possible
which the author was saying is the secret is the way to ascend to
Allah subhanho wa Taala is by abundantly reciting La ilaha
illAllah. But the La ilaha IL Allah has to be recited with this
etiquette, many people read Lila Hill Allah, but it needs to be
recited with all of its etiquette, and he explained all of those
tickets so you can consult the earlier sessions for that along
with saying La ilaha illallah you can't just keep reading La ilaha
illallah and expect that to do the magic you have to also work on the
self and remove again him control of the cell. So now what he does
here, to make it easy for us remember to master anything, you
need to be able to split it up and distributed, understand all of its
components, and then be able to deal with it that way. So
mashallah, that's what
he's going to do now. This is by Anwar in new fusi Sabah.
Generally we hear of the knifes being three types as mentioned in
the Quran, he is further divided all of them as well into seven
sections. And that just helps to understand where we are because
when you got three, a lot of people are confused whether they
between nostril Amara or lawanna. But when he mentioned seven you've
got it's easier to understand where you are. So this is very
interesting. It says when NOFO sub baritone be has to be outside
FIFA, we're in luffa here Wahida really the knifes is just one it's
only really one faculty. But in terms of its characteristic, in
terms of what it does, in terms of how it acts in terms of
its practice and its nature that it's divided into seven other
words is really one one knifes there's there's not seven novels,
right? Hello hola unnatural Amara to be Suwa here lotta lotta Morosa
Hebrew how to behave. So the first one is what we generally know in
as Allah subhanaw taala reveals that in the Quran, use of Rama or
bury Amin FC in enough Salah Amara timbi Su, right unofficial Amara
to be sue the knifes which incites towards evil that state that when
the knifes has that characteristic, then you see human
beings are a single entity in a sense. Everybody is a human being.
But then you say that guy's an evil person. Right? She's an evil
person.
She's still a human being just like another woman or another man
is a human being. But this is a good human being as people say,
and this is a bad human being. Why do we call them good and bad?
That's a characteristic. Human being is the is the genus that's
the category that's who they are. But a human being can be a bad
human being a human being can be a good human being. So likewise
here, what you've got is new foods of seven types. And the first one
is Allah Mata Bisou. That is the one which commands it's it's
beholder. The person who has that knifes that human the individual
himself, the one who possesses the knifes, it does not command with
any goodness at all.
This is a badness, right? If that is the characteristic
characteristic of the knifes at that time, then it does not
command with any good whatsoever.
Right only commands evil. There's nothing else that it commands for
either Jehovah saw Hebrew Hmm. So now he tells us if you are in that
state, if we are in the state, then what should we do? So he says
there's a there's good news for either Tjahaja Sahiba wahala for
her Fisher Hawa at her hat.
As I entered the table hockey was second to handle Amrita cliffie
While Akina had toggleable saw he will have he actually fit her so
mythology Oh La he below me I love my walker submit a worm we're here
fernea.
So if a person exerts himself against it, if a person fights it,
if a person rebels against that knifes and opposes it
in its desires, it will want you to look at the Haram do the Haram
say the Haram involve yourself in the Haram be greedy.
Consume the Haram whatever it may be. So if a person fights with it,
opposes it in all of its desired desires, until it comes until it
humbles itself until it submits to follow the truth. That's the good
thing about the NASA if you do work on it
Allah has given us the ability to be so malleable, that it will
become good, it will follow the truth.
And then it will gain tranquility was seconded it will become
settled
under all the religious commands,
it will then feel comfortable in fulfilling the religious commands.
So if we find it difficult, and it's a burden to do good things
that follow the religious commands, you have to fight
against it and oppose it. And there's ways to do that obviously,
until it becomes succumbed. And it becomes humbled. But problem is
that in many, many cases, it will generally dominate the person.
So the person is successful Hamdulillah, but otherwise, they
will dominate us, you saying that if a person does control it, then
it will start to blame you when you do something wrong. The same
knifes that was telling you to do something bad. It's like the
person in the community who used to everybody would say, Man, look
how bad that guy is. He's involved in x, y and Zed He's dealing he's
doing this he's doing that everything and then suddenly
mashallah he changes, right? He or she changes and suddenly they
become a big dairy and they're telling everybody off and you're
like, Well, what's wrong with you? Say no, you can't do this brothers
you must do this. You must do that. It's just like that this
knifes will then turn around and start saying to you, why are you
doing this? Why you doing that?
Submit lawanna Then it becomes a Nosler worm.
The blaming soul the censoring soul? Well, he assigned it that's
the second grade.
Now for either a horror film, we just heard that he will cut the if
a person really takes on strenuous exertion against it and strenuous
exercises to sort it out.
And undertakes a lot of hardship to really go against it had the
mallet Illa Allah mill could see until the knifes becomes inclined
towards the holy realm until it begins to love the pure realm. The
spiritual realm of Allah subhanaw taala was turned outwards and
against light, it becomes illuminated with the light of
Allah behavior oil himid voodoo Raha taqwa in the sense that now
it becomes the one which has the inspiration and knows clearly what
the transgression is and what is the path of God fearing thus, it
knows the good and bad now it's quite clear Sumit moulana Now this
is the one we generally don't hear about. This is called a mole
hammer the inspired soul.
Right? So it becomes inspired. So initially, it used to tell us to
do evil. The other one
sometimes inspires us to do evil and then makes us feel bad. The
lawan if it's not fully aroma, now this one is the one which has
become inspired by Allah subhanaw taala so it knows is good and bad.
So he's become the Malema This is the third level
what Allah to her a
year I refer saw Hebrew her DESA Isa Al Hafi ducky aka mineria It
will urge your baby daddy, how do you know that your knifes is at
this level? So how does a person know
that that is the state of the enough's. The sign of this is that
the individual will begin to understand it's subtle ways of
doing things.
It will understand when
a human the person will begin to understand the subtle ways that
you will be greedy, or you will be showing off. Whereas before used
to show off and never feel it. But now you will know when you're
being narcissistic. You will know when you're being greedy when
you're inclining towards the wrong when you're feeling like doing
something bad. So it will now understand it's really subtle and
refined points. Winner RIA will urge Bo Hey, Derek. Now
this is not a position to stop yet there's still higher levels to
reach for either Allah's email moja Hatzalah Tanasha. What if now
a person continues to exert himself against it.
Until eventually all of its worldly desires are removed, it no
longer tells you you must do anything bad at all. It doesn't
have that push. It doesn't pressure you to do anything like
that as well. What that is Sefa tool mathmatical muda and all of
its characteristic, they transform from being blameworthy to now
being praiseworthy, it's always telling you to do the praiseworthy
things. What the Halacha Killa heater Allah
Al jumeriah may not refer to your raw material looked through all
Karim evil with the Soviet McDermott in finally it becomes
much more inner here. How, when it then changes its characteristic
from the evil ones to the praiseworthy ones. It then takes
on good character from all of the characters of beauty of Allah
subhanaw taala for example, Rafa, you feel compassion for others,
you're not hard hearted anymore, your soft
words will have an impact on you. Right? When you see something that
needs to be dealt with compassion, you will exercise compassion,
you'd have mercy. You'd have gentleness looked, you'll have
gentleness while Karim generosity and beloved once while wood, you
will feel love. Then finally, this is now called a motif in the
tranquil soul, the comforted soul, the settled soul.
Why here, Rob here, but that's the fourth.
What are the law Tom who are mobbed who have moved to the EU
school? Il Allah heeta Allah, it's only after you get to this level
that you could say that you've actually reached Allah otherwise,
until now you are in flux,
you will still hear and there is only when the NOS becomes like
this, when it becomes more common in satisfied with Allah satisfied
with Allah.
Only then will you say that now you have reached Allah subhanaw
taala. So yesterday, the previous lesson, which discussed levels of
reaching Allah, where you initially make the exertion, you
reach Allah, and then after that, it's just about elevating your
status afterwards. This is going parallel with that, if you
remember. So now, when you get to this fourth level, that's when you
actually start getting close to Allah subhanaw taala. You know,
it's like somebody who starts a new job, and they've got issues
with the way things are done, you've worked in so many different
places.
So you've started this new job, and it takes you a while to
adjust, you got issues. So you yourself keeps rebelling sometimes
like no, I don't like this way. So then you get a bit sensitive and
you react in negatively, but you need the job. And eventually, you
become institutionalized. That's generally a bad thing. That's
generally negative, right? But we're talking about a positive
Institute institutionalization, which means that you eventually
now no longer rebelled. And now you're quite comfortable with the
ways and you understand why they do things. Because initially, it's
like, why are they doing this and just don't get it. This is wrong.
I'm not used to this. But now you get to understand the wisdom
behind why they're because there's generally wisdom there. So you get
adjusted to that. And now you become a believer in it. So you
take it on wholesale now. Now you've become a believer. Likewise
with the knifes is the same thing, until now, you are trying to make
it do good. But it was rebelling, it was tending to do the wrong
things. It was telling you to go another way. And then in some
cases, you would actually tell you off for doing that afterwards as
well. Right? It tells you to do bad and then he tells you to do
and then he tells you off afterwards. But then after that
when you become completely succumbed comforted and it big
take it takes all the praiseworthy traits. Now, it's wonderful.
You have become part of it now. Well, I can highlight dark blue
mean DESA is coffee agenda. However, there's still going to be
some really, really, really difficult to find small issues
that still linger. It's not finished yet we're not there yet.
At this level is a good level. But there is always going to be
something
the SIR is means the Caesar the Caesar is something that is so
finely ingrained in something that it's difficult to figure it out.
That's what it is, because should kill coffee. Well, how Berryessa
like hidden polytheism
hidden polytheism
and the love of
leadership. He's saying these two things are very difficult to
completely unearth.
It's almost like saying that even if I clean this whole place up,
there's still bacteria lingering.
While I've like you can see that this has been swept, right because
you've got the tracks of the vacuum, right? But
there is still going to be things inside this carpet. Right? That
are lingering. And then there's the bacteria that you could
probably only see under microscope
and an absolutely pure 100% sanitized knifes. Right is going
to be something where I don't even think we can achieve that on this
carpet. You'd have to put it through a wash and industrial wash
or something like that. Right. So that saying that that's like the
shithole huffy and herbaria so that bacteria will still linger
around the love of leadership. Right
and hidden or subtle shift, where what a subtle shift a subtle shift
is where you still feel that there's things that come from
others
and not from Allah. Whereas there's a belief we think
everything comes from Allah. But in practice, we don't. We still
have our hopes in other things are not in Allah
Najeeb in LA Anna Holika, he has a difficulty Halla Eureka. Illa
Allah Alladhina know what Allah Who Basa era home, except that
this is so
minut and so hidden and so concealed, right.
Because of its subtle nature, that you can only see it under a
microscope. What does he say? The only people that will perceive
these things and conceive these things are the professionals in
this regard, whom Allah subhanho wa Taala has illuminated that
insight, only they will be able to figure these things out.
And generally, others will figure that out in us more than we will
be able to figure that out in ourselves. And if that person
who's our friend, or who's our guide, or who is our teacher, if
they are a respect, if they are an accomplished individual who's who
has who has basically
been through this and learn this well, and has been purified
themselves, they will be able to easily notice this because they've
seen it themselves.
Just get you just have experience.
For example, if we want to buy a property for our institute, it's a
huge sum of money that you have to raise. And we've never done it
before. We have no idea what we're getting into. So I spoke to
somebody else who has done these projects before and he gave me the
ins and outs. I was like, wow, because they have the experience.
They can tell Hey, you're doing this wrong, you're going the wrong
way about this. There's no way you're going to do this.
If you go to wealthy people to get their money, you're never gonna
get it, you're gonna have to go to the average Joe and ask him for
10,000 rather than ask for a million from one person who's not
going to get it.
That's just the experience that everybody's had. And they'll tell
you that you're just doing wrong if you think that somebody's going
to give you a million dollars or a million pounds or something like
that or even 100,000 For that matter, let another Hira. Why is
this difficult except for the absolutely proficient masters to
be able to figure this out is because the another Hera or Salah
who want it esophagus suffer till Hamidah because on in the apparent
sense, there is there is piety, you see piety, and you see all of
these praiseworthy characteristics. So that's what
you see that's the outer facade It looks beautiful. You see all of
these praiseworthy characteristics of Chiron Well, Hill whatever call
was good. Well, water or sugar was sobre Tasneem. readable Kava.
Mara inky Shafi butter, the SR. One Hiraki. Battle the adults with
the Holy Bible, the Quran, Mattia, Allah, he sang, for the person
himself who reaches this level, his outer state is going to be one
of righteousness and piety, you're going to feel very pious, right?
Because you're going to be doing a lot of practice. By that time, you
would have probably developed and inculcated into yourself a lot of
praiseworthy traits, like, generosity, forbearance, Tawakkol,
and reliance in Allah subhanaw taala. Imagine if we can even get
this wonderful Zohar, abstinence from the dunya you're not you're
not, you're not obsessed with the dunya you got the dunya you're not
obsessed with the dunya. Right? Well, what are you got?
scrupulousness you're careful in your dealings and in your
interaction with others. Shakur, you have a lot of gratitude or
sub, you have a lot of sub Tasleem you even submit to Allah subhanaw
taala in everything, right? What RIDOT will cover using got the
high level of readable color, which means to be satisfied with
whatever Allah decrees you're satisfied with, or Allah throws at
you, even if that means huge difficulty, you're like, Okay,
that's fine. If Allah says it, I'm willing to deal with that.
Can you mind that's a very high level, that even if a person has
all of them, he says, And even more, he has more MA in Gish,
everybody aside, he, there's certain secrets of the world
universe that
are unveiled to him or her. So they're figuring out things,
right. We're in hierarchy by the adults, meaning certain norms are
being
certain norms are being changed for them. Right, which basically
means
some he's getting he thinks he's getting some parameters. Well,
miracles are taking place, things are becoming you know, there's
miracles happening and happening in his life. Now, everybody's
individual miracle is whatever, you know, it could be just that
it could be whatever it is for
An individual miracle, right? We're not talking about water
gushing from your finger, that's a prophet's miracle, but other
miracles whatever it may be something minor, all of this stuff
is happening to the person for so this person followed by Mr. Wagner
Sahiba and the whole emammal album.
So, very frequently such a person or very likely such a person would
start to think that he is an imam allow them is the greatest Imam
Can you see now where the delusion comes even though they've
accomplished so much
we're not even there yet this person has accomplished Mashallah.
So much. Basically at each level, there is a danger say saying that
even this person after they have so much accomplishment which we
can only dream about, even this person has to be careful because
they could also fall and this person may start thinking himself
that he is the greatest Imam Allah Wanda mahkamah Who who will McCobb
will have him and that his level and his status is the highest
level the loveliest level will have them in Joomla did the size
he says this is among those subtle problems that can trip you up. So
now we need to get that's why the lottomatica is not the final one.
There's still levels to perfect that state. That's why he's saying
that either other aka Tulare, nya to De La Jolla to

Leighton, well he'll homies
Finally, he says that if such a person because what the person has
made a lot of efforts, they've done huge exertion, I mean, this
is not easy, right, saying that if such a person is hit by is
affected by is basically receives
the divine attention, Allah subhanho wa Taala wills well for
them, and now suddenly turns to them with a special divine grace
and attention. And this person, he
generally a person of this nature will only be able to get to this
if they have an accomplished shake.
So this person, he then entirely
gives himself up to being scrutinized and corrected by his
shake, by his teacher by the professional and holds fast to
this exertion against an OS continues to do that, until he
fully he or she fully develops all of these other praiseworthy traits
fully. And finally, this slight vein of ostentation and showing
off, loving, to love, leadership, discipline dissipates from him,
and his knifes becomes totally succumbed
totally succumbed. And finally, praise or criticism becomes equal
in his sight, doesn't get excited by praise, criticism does not
deter them from doing good.
And he enters into the station of funner. Finite means annihilation,
meaning you just feel like you are nothing now. Right? Allah is
everything. And the world is nothing and become satisfied with
everything that happens in the world because it's from Allah not
satisfied that there's haram going on in the world just mean
satisfied with the affairs of the world with Allah that he doesn't
complain.
I was just talking to somebody who's a Muslim, but not very
practicing a by my fruit from from, from that individual, very
nice person.
So she was saying
what she obviously believes, and she obviously saying that, you
know, we all have a life expectancy. She believes that
there's
a final day for every one of us. This is why do we have to become
old and we can. Why can't it be just that you stay youthful all
the way, then whatever your life is, whatever your time of your
ending is, you just expire? To be honest, I think it's better the
way it is because if you could just expire at any time just like
that come to southern there's no warning the whole point of
becoming gray in your hair and getting gold and is to remind you,
I want to know I'm miracle miter that curvy him into the Khawaja
documentary. And the warner has come to you what's the one some of

bones becoming weak
It was Tyler Rachel Schabel as a curiosity Salam said, right?
That's a good thing. I mean, at least you know you can start
thinking That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran they
haven't really given you enough of a life in which the person who
could reflect would have reflected by now which is the age of six
years of residency.
So you have no enthralled with Allah system you completely you
completely agree with Allah system Soumitra idea that because now
this knifes is never going to oppose anything that it's all the
satisfied you see that Raul DIA is also in the Quran right so here
this is he says he'll Hamas and that is the fifth
that is the fifth level of the knifes
so what can go wrong after this? Why is this still a sixth and a
seventh level we haven't got to sixth and seventh yet so the five
levels we've discussed so far and he said we got six so at this
stage what can still go wrong? Well I can wrote here Tofana evil
a philosophy Rob Burma aka Alfie che in middle age, physiology or
OB Hill Cara.
However, seeing oneself in this state of annihilation
and
sincerity may still cause a person to become slightly conceited in
themselves.
It's a very difficult thing to remove. You'll still feel a bit
conceited there.
Now narcissistic, right?
So then the person would start going backwards retracing
basically start losing. So where are they at this MACOM they
started actually going back now because of this. Can you believe
how this concept of showing off? This love fish for position can
destroy you even after you get to this level?
Fall Yes, that is below him in the attic.
How do you protect yourself from that? He should seek refuge in
Allah from that. Martin muda Amati Vickery while holding fast,
perpetually constantly to the vicar of Allah, because Allah will
help.
While ltj al Allah and
asking for this assistance from Allah wa Mola, Huberty and the
hula you Yatim Hola Hola, Eclass Illa be melody che. And this
understanding in the mind, that there's no way you're going to get
this yourself, you're going to need the assistance of somebody
else to point these things out to you.
You're going to need because you're not a prophet.
Prophets get it directly from Allah subhanaw taala. But we can
trick ourselves.
We can even get to a high level, we can become corrupt.
That's why you're in always need that's why even some of our bigger
shakes, right?
When they shake dies, they find somebody else. Because it's just
always nice to have somebody who can tell you off who can correct
you.
Because as human beings otherwise we just if we love ourselves too
much. So we justify for ourselves. So we may we see ourselves good
and we justify our actions. Otherwise, how else could you mess
up? You justify what you're doing? Maybe for a high for an ulterior
motive, right or for maybe a pious consequence but the means are
wrong. And you justify it. And then after that, it just spoils
the whole thing. It's a dangerous game Allah protect us.
So then he's saying for either funny or annual Furna what does
that mean?
When you become an isolated even from your annihilation,
meaning you're thinking of yourself as nothing one is the I
think of myself as nothing. And the other one is that I don't even
know that anymore. Is not even a concern for me anymore. Can you
see the difference? One is I know that I don't I'm not concerned
about everything I know that the other one is that it's no longer
even on my radar
position has got nothing to do with me.
Position has got nothing to do with me anymore. It doesn't
feature in my thought process. It's not on my radar anymore.
Well, hello some enroll at a class or Hulu seminar at the class. And
you get absolute perfect pure sincerity. Now this is when you
get pure sincerity, that Allah Allah you have a better reward.
Well, if I'm calling my mother, whatever the let's say to her has
hundreds when Fattah habla Abba will have work you with the Juliet
fissara to hurry cotton Phoebe hurry toto heat. He says this is
where you finally take the plunge and you're in much safer place. He
said. I mean, I'm not going to go through it because that's not
going to make a lot of sense to us because these are some some really
loaded terms of the stuff which I don't want to do.
Want to go into right now? He says eventually your full satisfaction
with Allah subhanaw taala will come about and anything of the
past will become obliterated, and all.
Even your, your whatever bad deeds you've done they should probably
become good now because of the way you do Toba and your your philos
and now this is when the doors of further in depth
experience with Allah subhanaw taala will open up and you will
become submerged. In the oceans of Divine oneness, you will become
submerged in the oceans of the hate. Where it's your dough
heathen, belief in the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala will
become intensified. And
I mean, there's some what nessa Tarbela below Assadi bitdegree The
worry there's so many at Moralia that's why this snuffs is called
the merliah RA theatre Maria it's in the Quran. You have the

the MER model the sorority means is satisfied the model dia which
it's from the same radar it's from the same result but which Allah
makes satisfied. Rodriguez I'm satisfied Maria is it somebody
else being satisfied with it? So Allah is satisfied with you?
Liana hobby Anya Tila Hey Maria, because remember, this is the one
that Allah subhanaw taala is now paying special attention to so you
are under the special attention of Allah subhanaw taala well, he has
said this, this is the sixth level. Now you're wondering where
you're gonna get the seven from right. It's all from the Quran. As
you notice it Allah and Asahi Bill him metal Alia
la yada Bill woofie in the Haverhill mahkamah to a incarna
Saniya.
However, the person of high resolution, high aspiration is not
even going to be satisfied as staying at this level of the
stations. Even though it's a very very, very high level. You're not
going to be satisfied at this level. But yes, he ruminal Fana il

akoni in the Mahayana fitna tune Fela attack for one ILA Arabic el
mundo Ha,
Allah, this stuff can't even be explained this, this stuff has to
be experienced. So I'm at loss of words already, even the Arabic. In
fact, this person even though he's at such a high level is not going
to be satisfied. He wants to get even closer because once you taste
the experience with being close to Allah subhanaw taala, you want to
get even closer, Allah is infinite, so you go higher and
higher and higher. Right? I know this might sound totally crazy for
to a lot of us who,
you know, many of us are probably very far from this status. So
obviously, this is talking about some really high level where we're
going to deny it, some people will say like, are you crazy? Like what
are you talking about? This doesn't even sound right.
So, this person will then finally go from the state of phenomena of
annihilation to a state of endurance. Right. And he will then
want to
reach Allah subhanaw taala with a full
with a complete
connection.
But then this is when everything around him the realities of those
things will start to say to him, that we are just the fitna fall
attack for
what does that mean? This I think is taken this is for sure taken
from Ignite, I thought it was Hichem says that basically,
when you get very close to Allah, you will start witnessing and
experiencing certain things. Right? And then you will start
wanting to get engrossed in them.
But then they will tell you,
they're not going to verbally tell you but they will be telling you,
we're still a creation of Allah. If you want Allah you need to
ignore us.
Right? For example, there's people who do a lot of vicar and
mashallah the very practicing. And sometimes they start seeing good
dreams. So they get really excited about the good dreams. And then if
the good dreams go away, then they're like, oh, what's happened
to me a messed up now. The good dream is no sign of anything.
It's just a nice thing on the way but that's just a cafe on the way
your your objective is to drive. Right? That's just the duty free

don't want to get lost and miss your flight to hedge. Do you see
what I'm saying? And even when you get to Makkah, all those shops,
they're they're just a distraction. That's not what you

telling you that hey, we just a fitna man, this is not what you're
here for you're here for that. I went to see a che who's passed
away now Rahima hula in Madina, Munawwara. And you know, because
Medina and Mecca traditionally have always been played people,
places where you can get to visit a lot of great people from around
the world because that's where they converge, someone said, and
he sat in the masjid for over 3040 years and just read Quran the same
every time I used to go there. So he was doing I don't know how many
Quran he finished sitting there in the machine, the boy. So I said to
him have any have any of the great scholars come? Right? Are there
anybody around because I think if anybody knows he's going to know
what a dumb question. He said the biggest buzzer is here. Right? He
says, this is the Prophet salallahu Salam, this is where
you're here for why you worried about anybody else you come here
to give cylinder or do delusory Salawat Why are you here? What are
worried about anybody else for? That's all the fitnah
so that's what he's saying that the whole creation will tell you.
We're just a fitna. So even miracles are a fitna is still a
creation of Allah is not Allah. Even if you see miracles,
wonderful dreams is still a creation of Allah. Things are
going right for you. Right?
You know, you hear about certain sheiks who can go from here to
Medina pray the whole prayer, and they miss it in the local mosque.
Even if it's a reality, right.
It's just the fitness. This doesn't mean anything. I
never really come across anybody who's claimed that, but I've just
heard in stories. Now, I don't know if anybody really claims that
anybody come across people like that, who say they can pray in
Medina and come back? No, I'm not saying it's not impossible,
because it's important. I mean, nowadays, the world has shown us
that technology has shown us these things are possible. Like within
the realm of possibilities,
it's not going to happen to you and me. But within the realm of
possibilities is is minimal monkey nuts. Because the our tribal
systems have showed us that, that that's a possibility somebody
could go then come back, right? I mean, eventually, with the new
planes and new cars in the making, I mean, it's going to be a
possibility. So it's within the realm of possibilities. So if it
happens by Kurama, do somebody will Hamdulillah? That's a
possibility. But do I have to? You know, like, do I have to come with
you? Right? Allahu Allah. But anyway,
I think we stop here for today. Because then he carries on and we
still got this seventh stage right to get to. I think we'll have to
leave that to the next because it's a bit more complicated. But
he then he does mention the verse year, year a year to have enough
soil motiva in Erie Ihlara, big Rodian model the year for the Holy
V arriba. The word holy Jannetty. So then in that he's going to
discuss the seventh one, we ask Allah subhana wa Tada to allow us
to ascend, allow us to ascend, these things sound very daunting.
But I'd rather be in a higher place than in a lower place.
Because that means we're closer to Allah subhanaw taala. And just
being in a low place doesn't mean that there's no fitna. There's
more fitna here, right, the fitna is different, depending on the
stage, right. So at least if you're in a higher stage, you
could be closer to Allah, you'd have more incentive, because you
have more experience. experientially, you'd feel closer
to Allah subhana wa, tada, we ask Allah photographique. But I think
this is very useful. Because generally, whenever the soul is
taught, it's taught in a very casual kind of manner. Right?
Everybody has their own kind of, so every shake has his own hand.
And so, but what this is doing is that, and again, obviously, this
is still one version at the end of the day, right? Because it's, it's
all based on what the author has understood, and how he's put it
together. But a lot of these things are accepted around anyway,
maybe the terminologies are different. But in terms of the
levels and this level of the nuts, I mean, I mean, would you would
anybody say here that these six level that we read of the knifes
so far, right? Can you see any problem with them? I mean, a very
logical understand except that I mean, the higher levels we can
experience them. So it's not we can't relate to it yet. Unless
there's somebody who can relate to it. Right? But that doesn't none
of this sounds like weird. It's just that just because something
you haven't experienced before doesn't mean that you deny it.
So we ask Allah for tofi graphic that run on hamdu Lillahi Rabbil
aalameen. A lot of mentors that are more interested and develop
the journey with the Quran, Allah who may or how you yaka, you
