Are we learning off manual Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala so you the more saline or the early he was
software he or the raka was seldom at the Sleeman. Cathy, you're on
Eli Yomi, Dean America, we were discussing the seven stages of the
soul. seven levels of the stones, Soul stages of the soul as it goes
through these. This is like a hierarchy, it goes from number one
to two to three, generally, some people can start off at number
two, maybe some people even start off higher Wallah who Island it's
a gift of Allah subhanaw taala. But they're definitely
progressively better as you go up.
That's basically the idea that they're progressively better. Most
of the time when we hear about the stages of the soul, we hear about
three, which is Amara lawanna. And ultimate in in the Surah, that we
recited today's world virtually Well, I heard an actual
number of them actually mentioned there, though, they're not always
highlighted in that sense. So the first one
is a natural amount to be sued because it is the one that incites
to evil. And that's well known that it's the knifes when
actually, we hear a voice inside us telling us to do something
wrong. That's an absurd amount of is. So it's mentioned in the Quran
use of it Salam refers to it. And that's quite simple. I'm not going
to go back into the full discussion of it. However, if a
person really tries to overcome it, and tries to do good deeds,
and try to have good thoughts and study, study, study well and tries
to oppose the self, then the same faculty will stop telling us to do
bad things. It will decrease it will tell us less to do bad things
because we don't listen to it. Somebody keeps knocking on your
door and you let them in each time they're going to feel like coming
each time because they've got no, especially if it's an ashamed
person. Right then no mind. I mean, some people think I don't
want to go too much. I might feel like I'm overstepping my
or I'm overstaying my welcome, right. Most people would think
that way that let's not go too many times, otherwise, they're
gonna get bored of us. But this knifes, this pathetic, it just
keeps doing the same thing, like a stubborn child. But if we oppose
it, then it's willing to take a step back and if it does, then
sometimes it becomes a good one. Right? So the second stage is when
it becomes a better one.
So anyway, it goes through the several stages like that. And so
the first one is called the unofficial Amara Amara to be su
which is the one the evil inciting self.
Then after that, if it starts making us feel guilty when we do
wrong things, then it's called the lawanna. Lomond Arabic means to
blame. So it makes you feel bad, I shouldn't have done that. Why do
we do it then if the nurse is gonna tell us not to do it is
because we're habituated to it something. So now the nurse will
tell us make us feel guilty. So that's a good sign. Most of us, a
lot of us fluctuate between these two states, the nurses, Amara
Bisou allawah. Generally that's the case. That's what we
experienced anyway.
However, if a person continues to make an effort against it and
doesn't want to do bad, they basically take some steroids. The
way to strengthen yourself is to take steroids, and that is by
doing a tick off in last 10 days of Ramadan. That's the steroids.
And if you want more than you go for Hajj.
Seriously, those two are some heavy steroids you can take that
really strengthen you. Right. But of course, you can't go for Hajj
every day, right? It's for us a certain period of the year. And
then after you come back, and you have about nine months until
Ramadan, right. So you have to basically whatever you get from
hydro, you have to try to make it last until Hajj and do things in
between. Right, you could do other things in between. So anyway,
when a person continues to make effort against it, and then it
becomes illuminated, and it begins to understand what it should do
and what it shouldn't do, then it becomes known as the Mohammed
Mohammed means that inspired so
that inspired solely hasn't become tranquil yet. It hasn't become
arrested yet. It's still that it's now understood, okay, I should be
doing this and I shouldn't be doing this becomes much more
clearer. That's the number three, then a person makes more effort
and then it becomes definitely more inclined towards the good
side. And most of the time, it's good. And that is what it starts
to take on good characteristics. It generally has better feelings,
less bad feelings, good characteristics inside of love for
people compassion, etc, etc. So then it becomes now it's known as
Mahatma in
the tranquil soul, the rested soul, the mathema inner, so that
is now the fourth one. That is now the fourth stage of it. It's not
that mean that there's no new soul. It's just you
It's just the transformation. So now it's the fourth one.
Again, I'm not going to go into the depth because the last lesson
was all about that in depth. And then it says that then after that
a person continues to make an effort and do good deeds and so on
and Allah subhanho wa Taala then shows them with some special
blessings is a special focus on them, special attention is paid to
them by Allah subhanahu, WA Tada.
And this knifes becomes a lot more in control controlled, and a lot
more satisfied with the goods,
it becomes a lot more satisfied with the good and thus it's called
the raw via again, this sort of refers to that raw data model the
so it becomes called the raw data, which is the fifth stage, which is
better than the motor inner stage.
And then it continues out. Now these are some very refining the
next stages are very refined, which are very difficult to even
explain without experience, obviously.
But it basically says that when of human human being then just really
wants to depart this world, at least in his attention, doesn't
want to have to do anything with this world uses the world. It's
not that they're going to go and sit in a cave, they're going to
use the world but their love for the world totally comes out. And
now they're only satisfied with anything to do with Allah. There's
no satisfied satisfaction with anything else. They're not
satisfied with the dunya anymore. And a number of other things and
they then are constantly trying to do vicar of Allah even when they
work they're constantly thinking about Allah subhanaw taala What a
beautiful state. That is the state where
where the knifes goes into the next stage, which is called the
multi year stage, which is stage number six. So that's kind of
where we got to last week if I remember correct last time we got
to the
so Allah says yeah, yeah 200 ultimate in
Oh, tranquil soul.
Era je la robic return to your Lord, Rowdy earthen meridian.
Both please then. So one is to be pleased yourself. The other one is
to be made pleased by Allah subhanaw taala for the Holy V
birdie, where the Holy Jannetty enter into My servants among my
servants and enter into my paradise.
So number six was called Madea The reason is called Madea Madea means
the one which is the one which has been made satisfied because Allah
subhanaw taala now pays very special attention to it, protects
it, and always, always inspires it. So he's got a special it's
basically specially supervised and you know, the Hadith in Bukhari,
etc, which says that when a person continues to do, they couldn't
come closer to me than I became become the hands by which he
touches and the feet by which he walks and so on. So we're talking
about a very, very strong connection with Allah so and then
it becomes very difficult to do wrong things. Because we've got a
like a divine supervision, protection, almost not as a
Prophet who can't do wrong at all people can still do wrong, they
can still get messed up. shaytaan is still going to be after such
people. Right? That's always going to be the case that's going to be
a struggle until end.
But then it then he continues, so he says, Now beyond this, so this
is what we got to last time. He says now for either sobre la
manera ZIL ATOL, after the sixth stage, which is a very high stage
when it continues to traverse and it goes now into the levels of the
heavyweights of the real close Olia of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada,
will Khalifa duniya, whare Avahi. And they abandoned the world
behind them. Remember, abandoning the world doesn't mean that you
don't use anything, you can still use an iPad. Alright, you can
still use a phone, but you're just not going to be obsessed by it.
And it's not going to be addictive anymore. You'll still eat food.
You can even eat good foods. But it's not going to do anything for
you. Do you understand it's going to be the same. Somebody's happy
with you or unhappy with you for the wrong reasons. You don't care
anymore. You don't have an ego anymore.
Right? The only thing in this is that there's still a bit of an ego
problem that could that could upset you. That's why you're not
at the highest level yet that a nonprofit can reach. So he says
when a person then throws the dunya behind their back. Then, at
this point nada horrible will be asked any McCarl this is when
those verses were recited in Salah. This is when Allah
addresses a person with that. And Allah says with the most beautiful
words year a year to her national multiman in era je la Arabic year
all the Mardi you've already received those two stages for the
Holy VA by the word holy Jannetty. Now you enter among my close
servants and you enter into paradise for you to heal for you
the healer or Buddha fee. Fee. Everybody lesson. So Allah so
Hello adalah puts them into this high stage of the servants of Sri
Essen. Right of absolute perfection in faith.
Well, where are they here? I read one
of these all terms, basically saying that now gives him adorns
him with the mantle of satisfaction. So almost like
garlanding somebody giving them an award, giving them a gob you know
like when you graduate, you get those special gobs he gives you a
garland or a god a robe of honor of satisfaction. When you hear her
Jannetty shoot and enters them into the paradise of being able to
witness Allah subhanaw taala where you Jalisa fee Maka it said Kindle
medical Mr. Booth
and on the Day of Judgment, obviously, then he will give them
a very special position. A very special station mock it said which
is the station of truth. Because then a person has been show has
demonstrated himself true to Allah, he's become of the city
team. So then they given a place mark or the sitcom and the
Mulligan, Mokhtar there as Allah subhanaw taala says and in Qatar
have a desire to unshackle karma.
So this is a special position a place for such people on the Day
of Judgment. May Allah subhanaw taala give us that it's quite a
tough, it sounds like a very arduous journey. But there is no
harm in asking Allah subhanaw taala for facilitation, you may
accept our dua insha Allah
will he handle McCormick cotton metal Mujahid the whole macabre
the it says that this position now all your striving and your efforts
against your soul has finally come to ahead, finally been
accomplished.
They've all paid off. Now, all of this effort of shunning the wrong
struggling through those dark days and nights. All of those desires
and attractions and temptations going against them. Not falling to
them. This is now a point where you can say I've got somewhere
whether you say that or not, it's not the matter. It's just that
Hamdulillah you get somewhere it becomes much more smooth, smoother
sailing afterwards. Liana see fertile gamma, the sobre la tuber
and was the G yet and because now all of the
attributes of perfection characteristics of perfection of
how Allah wants somebody to be, they now become your second
nature. They're no longer a struggle. You no longer have to
struggle to not be jealous. You no longer have to struggle to not get
angry for the wrong things. You no longer have to struggle against
desire. This becomes the norm. This becomes easy. It becomes us.
That's who we become. Imagine that was such an easy stage. Because
we're constantly struggling right now. Doesn't matter where you live
afterwards. Of course, such a person won't won't be obviously
interested in leaving living in a place of fitna anyway, but that's
that's besides the point.
What are some enough, Sophie? Bill? Camila. So now this is your
seventh stage of the soul. We're now it's called the Kameelah the
Perfected soul. Accomplished soul.
So there's seven stages and do Does anybody see any problem with
these seven stages? They sound quite logical to be honest. Right?
They don't sound I mean, there's nothing wrong with any of these
stages. I mean, nobody sees any issues with them. Right? Right.
And again, I mean, I don't think there's any Hadith or anything
that actually describes this hierarchy that okay, you've got
the Kameelah and then the body and the raw the there's no Hadith like
that. These are just stages of experience that people have the
odia have experienced they've they've found this through
experience, and they've just given it a term from the Quran and
Sunnah. So most of these terms are from the Quran, sunnah, because
Mohammed is from the Hadith. Amara de su is from the Quran, right?
What else are all the lmrda is in the Quran? lottomatica is in the
Quran. Camila. Is that in the Quran, or is in a hadith.
I can't think of it from the Quran, but it must be in a hadith.
And so these are just taking all of the different stages and just
giving them a bit of a hierarchy to understand somebody may
experience something different to that they may do make the
terminology different, it's fine. That's not a problem. What you
can't deny is of the stages, whether you call them whatever you
call them, because these are experiential stages that can be
that can be experienced by people. We're here out of them. Oh no fusi
Chodron. When you get to this Carmilla level, then this is the
highest level of the Soul that the human soul can get to other
nonprofits. Because remember, prophets have a special Fastpass
right that they are at the top anyway. They have to be because
Allah chose them for his mission. He can
don't have weak profits, you can't have sinful profits, it just
doesn't make any sense. That would essentially be saying that God
doesn't know how to choose, or he doesn't have anybody to choose
from. So he chooses a weak person. That's why profits have to be the
best of their time. Right?
Well, Ekman, who have fallen. And of course, this is the most
complete in terms of in terms of its its status. Well, mitotic,
Allah and Katia takia above them. However, the ascension, the
elevation, the progress and advancement still does not stop.
Allah is infinite. So you can never stop. Right? So while you've
reached this stage, it's a milestone. It's a very good
milestone, right? But you still continue to rise. So the few
people who are at that level, they will be obviously differences
between those people, because some will be still higher than others.
Because as long as you live in this world, you can still continue
to ascend. And the thing in general, there's a rule of the
world, right, which is very important for us to focus on,
there's a rule of the world, whether you call this a
psychological rule, a biological rule, or whatever you want to call
it, because it actually spans a number of human functions, right,
which is that this world never stay stagnant.
This world, there is nothing in this world that stays stagnant.
Right? If you look at food, if you look at anything, which is
natural, I'm not talking about plastics. All right, we're having
a big trouble with plastics right now, you don't want to be plastic,
right? You want to be natural. You look at anything with nature,
whether that be fruits, or trees or anything else. There's a
constant movement in the it's built up a bacteria and things
like that there's internal, it's gonna water, even water, if you
leave it stagnant, it becomes dirty. Right? Water needs to move
for it to stay fresh. That's the nature of this world. So
basically, the law that people have come up with, which is the
law of life, is that if you don't make an attempt to progress, you
will never stay the same, you will always regress, because you can't
stay the same.
You are different to how you were five years ago.
Right? Can you not tell any difference between where you were
10 years ago, and where you are now, hopefully, we're in a better
place. The mind is constantly changing, the brain is constantly
changing.
Because the way the neurons
link to each other, and the billions of connections that are
being made the hard wiring inside, right, they change based on our
experiences, we are a different person to who we were 1010 years
ago. So if we're not a better person, then maybe we're a worse
person. Because there's no other way about it.
That's why what I'm trying to say from this is that we constantly
need to be wanting to be better. And we can't be better unless
we've got a concern to be better.
So even at this stage, when you got to you can't relax, though it
becomes easier at this stage, you still can ascend, because there's
never stagnation.
The only time you will be in a passive state of absolute bliss is
in paradise, if you can call it that, where you've got all the
time in the world, because you are of the world. You've got all the
time, where Allah will allow it to remain forever, and you can just
enjoy. You can literally enjoy one thing for hundreds of years, and
then move on to the next because time doesn't matter there anymore.
Time will always haunt us in this world. Even if you go to the best
holiday or you go for Hajj.
Right, eventually it has to come to an end.
You have to come back home.
Right? And that's the world we have to go back to the earth era.
So methodic anion Katutura ki absurdum never will they stop to
advance the NL camel, yuk balule camel, because the accomplished
one can still accept more accomplishment.
Right?
For them does that are aka Tasha the Hakata capital aquarium. And
eventually this person he as he continues to ascend, he will
always then be somebody who will see Allah before he sees anything
else. So when he does anything, he sees Allah behind it before he
actually sees the object. Right now we force ourselves to think
about Allah. I mean how easy or how difficult is it rather for us
to even remember Allah before we eat Bismillah wa barakaatuh Allah
before we go to sleep, Allah Khomeini Islam to enough see like
or object to which he like what object to the heavy lake or all

This is $1 the profit and loss and mystery, it's a wonderful dua that
the Prophet saw some said, when you get into your bed, when you
lay down to sleep, you basically turn to your right. Because the
right is symbolic for the US How will you mean in the hereafter?
Aside from the health issues that everybody has found behind this,
that's a separate point we don't we don't hamdulillah that's a
great thing, if there's a health issue in terms of sleeping too,
right? There's some studies that have shown that but that's not our
purpose. Our purpose is the prophets Allah some said, you turn
you get to sleep, you, you, you put your right hand under your
your cheek, and then you read this dua. And what the DA is, it's
quite amazing. It's every night you do this, and you start off
that way then you can turn to another side if you want to sleep
another side, but you start off this way. At least start off this
way. Allahumma inni Muslim to NFC, like, Oh Allah, I submit my knifes
to you, I'm going to sleep sleep is the sister of death, I may not
wake up right? So I submit my knifes and my soul to you. And I
would just do what he like. And I face my basically I direct my face
in towards you. That means the right side is always the better
side. And what I'll get to the hairy Lake, and I
put into refuge I give into refuge my back to you, which basically
saying that I'm giving you myself wrong button whare button like
which means I do this in earnestness and full desire for
you what Robertson and in reverent fear
I do this because I'm desired and I have Reverend fear as well for
you. And then
what's after that?
Law Malaysia Allah mangia Amin Illa de lake. There is no place of
safety.
And there's no refuge and there's no place of safety except with
you.
There's no one else I can call on for safety.
Amen to the new reaffirming Amen to be kita because of the insult I
am.
I believe in I declare my belief in the book that you have
revealed. And the prophets are being a vehicle of the result. And
the prophet that you have sent, essentially a declaration of who
we are what we are our position. We can do that every night.
There's a great book if that were to pass away that night. We've
passed away with faith. For sure. So learn this dua. It's in Sahil
Buhari. It's in numerous other Hadith collections, and I'm sure
you can find it and maybe we'll post it up with with this lecture,
as well Inshallah, and if you want it before, then just email us
zamzam. academy.com and we'll send it to you, it should be in most of
our books anyway. Right? It should be in most good dollar books, like
reflections or pearls. Right? So yeah, learn that door, learn that
door, teach it to your children as well, aside from Allahumma
Bismillah. I'm outta here, that's another door. But this one is the
declaration that you do at the same time. You know, it'd be
wonderful if we can sleep at that door you just have this mashallah
confidence. I've got this behind me, you know, it's just wonderful.
And then after that, you can turn another way if you want to, then
you can you know, it's just that that's how you start off.
Of course, even carry on sleeping on your right, that's even better.
Well, Michelle had to Tyler cobbler coalition Hall Musa mind
the humble mo aina. Now this is just clarifying certain terms that
are used in the spiritual line. So you know, this stage where this
person gets enough scapula, and then after that they're able to
witness Allah before anything else. Right? So, you know,
whatever they do, they're thinking of Allah first that Allah is
behind this, you eat some food, Oh Allah, this is who Allah, Allah
created this food for us, right? He's given us Tofik has given us
understanding to make this the way it is, and so on and so forth. So
that stage is called more iron.
More iron comes from seeing. So you're not seeing you don't see
Allah Allah, like, you don't see Allah physically. But you see him
everywhere in the sense of his blessings, his workings, his
beauty, his power, basically, His names, those names, 99 names, they
become a reality for us. We actually see him opening things.
We see him giving success. We see him demoting people. We see him
his mercy. We see his love. So you see all of those names. That's the
amazing part there. Right? What are the who are usually again,
this is also called Angel yaki the I have conviction
but the unhesitatingly Hakim, you've already had the knowledge
of the certain you already know for sure this is the case, but you
don't experience it with you know, you don't experience it yet until
this stage. This is when you start experiencing this stuff. Allah the
Almighty for $2 Bill Brahim, you know, which is to know Allah
subhanaw taala through evidence is just a little yucky. But now you
actually start with nobody's going to shake your faith after this.
Nobody's going to shake your faith after this.
Then after a thermonuclear clean,
which is
the reality of the conviction, which is to witness Allah subhanaw
taala, basically in everything, but without you thinking that
Allah is inside that thing. That's a crazy idea. That's when it goes
wrong. You heard of some people in the past some crazy people who
maybe who started saying that I am Allah because they so get so
enthralled by Allah. So I've seen him everywhere that they actually
start thinking that I'm not even existent. It's just Allah that I'm
Allah walking on two feet, two feet. That's just the, you can say
a slip of this problem of this path. That's just where things
have gone wrong. Right. And that's not something which we, which we
see. That's why he says that, where it's be Dooney Hulan wala,
at Harding, you don't reach any archy that way you start thinking
that Allah is inside something because Allah doesn't even here in
anything. He is transcendent of everything. He doesn't unify with
anything. Yes, he controls everything. He is behind
everything. Whether it deciding whether in fear silent, none of
this physical anthropomorphise ideology at all. Just the pure
ideology, called Murad Tara fee, which had come in a lady who will
watch if he had whether he had look at a mirror, when you see
your face in the mirror, your your face and that mirror have not
become one.
They've not become there's no union between them. It's just
you're seeing a reflection in it. So you basically start seeing
Allah everywhere in terms of his power and everything.
waha the
mesh hidden low key and this is an experiential idea that he's
talking about not something physical, you're gonna start
seeing Allah because that's blasphemy. You can't see Allah
Allah to recall upside, as Allah says, in the Quran.
And it's only the serious people who can get this. Now there is
going to be people who may listen to the center. Where is all of
this stuff from? Well, I've already mentioned, I mean, this is
something really high that you have to experience to be able to
get it. Now how can anybody deny this without having experiences is
like this kid saying, No, man, I can't believe you can get so much
pleasure in sexual *.
They've never experienced it, how they know, the data experience.
They wish they do it a long time ago. Right? I mean, I'm just, I'm
not trying to be vulgar here. But I'm just saying that that's
basically how can you deny something you don't experience
that you can't experience yet that you're not there yet for? That's
premature.
That's premature.
Now, the thing here is that don't think that this person is going to
relax? No, no, and he doesn't have to do worship because shaytaan
will come to people and say, You don't need to worship anymore. You
reach that high stage. As somebody came to Abdulkadir Gilani
Rahimullah, the shaytaan came to him and tried to mislead him. He
says also he will handle MACOM life to run in a burdah Liana
Surah terbaru
this person of this stage is not going to now we can at all in his
worship, because that's become his nature to worship. There is no way
you can take this person away from worship and say, hey, you've done
enough. We see we see this in the Prophet sallallahu Sallam right?
Where you would stand with his until his legs became one why and
he enjoying it and people that it is telling him you've got you
know, Allah has already forgiven everything of yours is nature. Now
this is what they do. For some people eating becomes nature. This
is love to keep eating.
Right. So here this is talking about worship.
Of course, it's easier to get used to eating them to use to worship
it's a more it's a struggle, so it's more difficult. Right?
in Marbella Sunday we're in mobile Janani we're in marble Orca, and
this guy is going to be worshipping this person is going
to be winning whether he's worshipped with his tongue, his
his heart or his body. For hierarchy to has or not, in fact,
every movement of his eventually becomes worship because he's so in
tune with Allah. His thought process is all about about it's
always good thoughts.
So that means any movement he makes he makes it for the right
reason. So he gets rewarded for that one first. So who are EBA
that every breath of is is a worship He lives to worship. So
that means every breath you live for is going to be for worship

He says after you reach the stage of annihilation with Allah
subhanho wa Taala then you can be as you wish, because your
knowledge is always going to be knowledge there's going to be no
ignorance and you're always going to be doing something good and
there's never going to be any sin because everything you do is going
to be good because that's your focus. So anyway, this person he
says Who am I for the mineral coating Phil mojado 13 Yahudi he
does him and Matt Allah He feeds me ill Hallett. This person is
generally protected from falling into into sins and infractions and
other problems because he is always in the company always in
the company of Allah subhanho wa Taala in all of his states.
So if you're in the company of somebody who's supervising all the
time, you can't go wrong. Right? You're generally not going to do
wrong because you're being supervised. This time you'd like
to be supervised, you're in the special supervision of Allah
subhanaw taala.
Anyway, he carries on, he says, What elemental camelina fineness

Unfortunately, it says those who reach this level of perfection
among people are extremely few. Very, very, very few. It is said
Hakuna Elahi to Allah minute me Nina Kowloon, because to start
with those who want to attempt to be on this path in the first
place, there are a few to start with, who tried to get even to the
second or third level. So when you're talking about the seventh
level, that's going to be some real hierarchy. While while saloon
I'm in Hong Kong de Lune. And those who actually reach from
those people even embark on the path, very few, because the path

do the following things which means abandonment of all that you
are familiar with a food your favorite foods
right your sleep gathering wealth, love of position and all the other
desires that generally bolus over there very few people accept the
real appt all the real battle ones, right the real masters
accept them. Right that most of us just get bowled over.
Right we just lose we start seeing things on the way we start
benefiting from respect and we benefit from maybe other people's
respect and everything and then it just makes us abuse our position.
Right? It makes us kick the Sharia in its face. Right It makes us
contravene its laws may Allah protect us. What today goofy ha
mutha with one more Likert Yes, in on this path, you're going to come
across many destructive factors that seem good, but they're
destructive. Right? And there's a lot of pitfalls for Nergi fie her
colleagues it's almost like demoting right. It's almost like
you know, like don't do it. But that's not why he's just trying to
say that you're gonna have to have a lot of humor to want to do this.
So that's why the six successful one among them are few and that's
why it's been said careful who sue either so either we're doing
Carla Luigi Burley Balbina Hoonah how to fool we're regional half
year to warmer the Mark Cuban will ya do so from what Terry Kuma who?
He says see a lot of these points that they generally give the
example of a man after a woman because that's just so symbolic in
this world. Right everybody gets it the Romeo Juliet story. So
generally the two names that they use, right if you want to call
your daughters with that is so I had is one that's a famous one.
And the other one is Leila. Another one is sort of the Leila
sorta and so that's what the poet's generally used as these
Juliet's in Arabic poetry. So he's saying, careful will sue ILA so
ad? How can you reach so ad How can you get to swab your beloved,
whereas between you and her, there are these huge mountains, and
there's depth that's lurking around in every ravine and around
every corner within those mountains. And you don't even have
shoes for original half year. You are barefoot. You don't even have
footwear.
And I don't even have I don't even have a means of conveyance.
I don't even have transport. Well yet also from I don't even have
money, my hands are empty. My palms are empty. What 30 Kuma who
flew? And of course the path is very dangerous.
So he is trying to say that if somebody really is the love,
they're gonna get across this. And that's your love, which is Allah
subhanaw taala. In fact, when Imam Ghazali was sought after he
decided to abandon everything
And he said the same thing he says that he says the same thing. He
says that I kept thinking I'm going to nearly get there. But it
was tough. It was difficult. And I kept reading this poem, which,
which is that if you want to get to your beloved, then you have to,
really, and you know, we've got stories If people can do that for
people they love than why can you do that for Allah subhanaw taala
for which you're going to get benefit in the hereafter. I know
this is all high and mighty stuff. This sounds so far off from our
reality, our difficulty, our challenges, but at least it's nice
to know what these there is these there are these stages. We don't
even know that we have no aspiration. Once we know there are
these high stages of closeness to Allah and then eventual
satisfaction in paradise, then, Inshallah, at least we can get
further than we would have. So we ask Allah for tofi Grace Allah to
bless the author for providing us this knowledge. And we ask Allah
to allow us to, to follow in the footsteps of the great people of
the few people who did go
that far. I know Allah make us better next year than where we are
this year.
