Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa Salatu was Salam ala Uden more serene, who are early he was Safi
HMR in Melbourne.
Moving on to the next session of
the series on what is Sufism, what is the soul in general, we move
on, we move on to the seventh principle of the path. Following
the sixth principle, the sixth principle, which we discussed last
week was hunger,
to put ourselves through a certain amount of hunger, through fasting,
etc. Number seven, these are all ways to obviously become more in
control. So the seventh one, which is very relevant for today,
though, it's taken a different shape, from what it used to be
like, maybe even 50 years ago, maybe even 30 years ago, and
definitely, from how it used to be centuries ago. So the seventh
principle he mentions is a Lucilla. And Ursula in Arabic,
refers to
being alone,
having
a sense of not isolation, that you just cut yourself completely away
from everybody, but to have enough time alone, because humans are
social beings. So there's no concept of
there's no concept of hermit you'd in Islam. However,
what we do have is a take off in the masjid,
decreasing our meeting with people that we don't really benefit from,
or we can't benefit them.
And the reason for that is, as he will explain, we will definitely
in the world we live in, as human beings, we always are learning
from others and picking up for him from others, things rub off onto
us. And maybe things rub off from us onto others.
So unless we're among very good people all the time, then we're
going to be picking up a lot of mess. Right? Saying it in that
sense, right. So what he says is a Lucilla to Annie nasty call
Tibetan, Illa. And Schaffer he elmora. Bella, who
staying aloof from people away from people in general, except
from his che, who is basically helping him to discipline
discipline himself, or a one side, the one you're in who had
authority when him Matty, or some other brother of his, some other
sister for the sisters, some other person who is a righteous person,
who will assist you in general, in gaining some kind of in fulfilling
and doing obedience and in encouraging you to do more of
whatever's good. And that means maybe it doesn't mean that oh,
just pray more or fast more, but also how we should act, how we
should react, what our conduct should be, what our behavior
should be. So people we can actually learn from in that
regard.
Not just necessarily people who will remind us of our prayers,
which is a very good thing when its own.
Company makes a massive difference right company makes a massive
difference. If you are traveling with a group of people who don't
pray, and you want to pray. And because traveling is quite a bit
of a challenge sometimes. Because if you have to pray at a certain
prayer time, finding a place to stop finding a place to pray
during Gulu, that's a big hassle for everybody else who doesn't
want to pray, you're wasting their time, especially if you're in a
bit of a hasty journey. So then you're going to feel pressured not
to pray. On the other hand, if you're a person who doesn't pray,
and you're among people who do want to pray, and every time they
stopping to pray, you'll probably end up praying, right? That's just
simply as praying, then we're talking about behavior as well. We
live among people who have good behavior,
then clearly, that's going to rub out rub off onto us because we're
going to reflect what we do to the way they do it. So we see people's
interaction, we're going to see how somebody is going to be maybe
dealing with a shopkeeper when they go to buy something, maybe
with somebody else. Maybe there's a little something happened on the
road and how they deal with it, how we would deal it. And we found
that mashallah they dealt with it much more effectively than us and
also in a much more honorable way than us. I would have dealt with
it in a rude way, maybe, maybe I would have dealt with it in a more
harsh way. We both got to the same point. In fact,
that was more effective. So that's how we would learn from others in
that sense. Then generally speaking, if somebody's just has a
better heart, more connected to Allah subhanaw taala. Then there's
just going to be more blessing around that person.
Now there's a metaphysical aspect of how that works, but which is
basically that people who are connected to Allah subhanaw taala,
they have a constant shower of blessing upon them. Because
something as simple as sending blessings on the Prophet
sallallahu sallam, the prophets, Allah asked him said, if you send
one blessing on me, Allah will send 10 Blessings on you. So
imagine sitting next to somebody who's who's doing Salawat
Allahumma Salli, ala Muhammad Allahumma Salli, ala Muhammad.
He's doing Salawat he's having blessing sent on him, we can't see
it. Obviously.
Some people can actually sense these things. I may have mentioned
this, before I had a there's two people that I know who didn't know
each other as well. I know both of them. Right? They did not know
each other. And I remember once the one met the other, the other
one used to do a lot of liquor. So when he met him, he just said, I
just felt something different about this guy. So I said, like,
what do you do? And then he told me, This is what I do. So sitting
around people who do more vicar who are constantly thinking about
Allah, they're going to be attracting a lot more attention
from Allah.
Right? And it's mentioned in many Hadith that for example, when you
read Quran, then there's a Sakeena that descends which is
tranquillity. Angels gather come around that gathering in which
Quran is recited or discussed, or studied. And the mala Iike angels
surround that gathering. There's Rama, the Sakina there. So if
we're among people like that, clearly, we should be able to
benefit from that. Right? Because
it's like the example above the law is and provides, which is that
if you go into a blacksmith's place, we don't get them anymore,
right? Nobody goes to a blacksmith anymore. Right? But what would be
a modern example of a blacksmith today where you go and you're
going to get some if you know, you're going to get some effect of
it. Even if you don't buy anything, what would be a good
example of that today?
That's a good example. What's the negative example?
A mechanic as a good point, maybe a mechanic because I didn't know
you go to a mechanic, right? I went to a mechanic saw out
something in my accent or something. And this is random, but
the lane that you had to get through to get there. And then
they had some posts there. And I broke my window, my med review
mirror coming out of it, I went to a mechanic get fixed. And that's
what happened. But that wasn't his fault anyway. But when you go
there, you're probably going to get some oil stains here or there.
Right? Even if you end up doing nothing, there's oil stains all
over the you have to be careful right where you work, and so on.
Not as bad as a worker, blacksmith, you know, because that
is smoke.
We don't have shisha stores either anymore. Because that's not that's
not right, that they're not legal anymore. So what else is
anything else? Well, anyway, you get the idea. And of course, the
perfume shop, at least you can test them. Even if you don't buy
them, you can go in and test them. Right. And if you go in there, you
can go to the retail shops and even taste the muta and probably
eat to fill as well. Right? Which you shouldn't do. Here you go into
a chocolate shop and they won't even let you taste the chocolate.
You have to buy and you know that the gourmet chocolate shops,
because like to pawn the little chocolate, I mean Mutasa much
easier than
kilo for.
But anyway, you get the point. The point is that being closer to
somebody, there's just, I mean, it's just quite simple that you
sit next to somebody who's doing a lot of thicker, you're gonna get a
benefit, because there's a special attention, special Rama, special
blessing that's coming down there. And there could be there's going
to be a spillover. We learn that from other Hadith, that a person
who would come into a gathering of vicar even to maybe pick up
something from someone that he's also going to get a benefit of
that even though he sits down does not recur at all, it's just there
for another purpose.
So either spend your time with good people, whether that be your
Sheikh, Maura Bella, who are a good brother that will assist you
in your obedience and in Him and in basically raising your morale.
Raising your aspiration, encouraging you to do more, etc,
good people, positive people. And
unless I mean of course, we're human beings aren't. Unfortunately
though we're supposed to be worshipped as much as possible. We
still have to live in this world and earn a living. So he says what
he learned jurati by in OSHA, in other words, if there's a certain
need of yours, like you want to go and buy something, or you have a
business and you want to sell something, that's fine as well. If
you're engaged in that, that's fine. But if that's your 24 hour
engagement,
then that's a problem because then you're obsessed by something.
Right? obsessed by something is Mahabharata to Nursey took several
took Sybil called the whole mettam Because meeting with
To many people is going to create a darkness in your heart.
Now, you might say, but what about if it's all good people? Well,
obviously doesn't mean that the general mass of people are not
going to be people who are constantly doing Salawat with the
speed. Right? They're going to be probably on their phone. Maybe
they've got earphones on listening to some weird song or whatever the
case is, or some crazy stuff. Some of the stuff that you read about
today, just like where's the world getting to? Where's the world
getting to? Just complete shade by Nia in some cases? So, he said
generally what that does is that that just creates darkness in the
heart. For example, fully though dahulu an erotic erotica, Bill,
Mahara, Mohammed, he said, even if they're not doing anything haram,
even if they're not doing something absolutely haram,
because of the negligence is still negative. It's still negative for
kafer Wallah. Yeah, blue mage is so mean, Hamid II, but in one Amin
Mittenwald. area. So he says then, even if they're not committing
something haram, then what he says, whereas hardly any
gathering, you sit in, hardly any gathering is free of some kind of
backbiting or tail bearing or some something else, even at work,
right? I'm not in the corporate environment, but I've heard is so
competitive, that is constant backbiting about others, and look
at that person and look at this person, and there's just constant
backbiting and it's just acceptable. It's just acceptable.
In fact, what I'm hearing is that in today, there was a, there was a
discussion about high tech industries, like high tech
industries, to get into there. They're very, it's a very high
octane, really, really high pressure job. And they want to get
the best people, the sort of the most resilient,
the most resilient people to come into those industries. So they do
a very tough interview, and the way they order you around, and
that could involve swearing as well. But they're saying that
basically, at the end of the day, we'll have a pint together. So
they know that assessable theatre, they're just part of the job, just
part of the landscape.
I mean, not all industries are like that. But definitely some
are.
So anyway, whatever the case is, we're not saying drop your work
and all the rest of it. It's just that, if that's where you are. And
we have to be part of that sometimes, well, we need to find
an antidote, and we need to go and find the release, we need to go
and find some good alternative. And there's no doubt about it,
that if you, for example, if you sit with depressed people, you're
going to probably become depressed.
Right? That's why a lot of therapists they actually then have
to go to another therapist afterwards, generally, hospitals
will provide that, because they have to deal with it. There's that
case about that the person who used to work for Facebook, to
mine, all of those weird websites. And basically she is now
complaining that they did not provide me counseling. Like that's
the nature of your job, right? Subhanallah it's just like what a
paradox we live in. It's just quite crazy, right? So
one of the poets said, Lika Nursey, Lisa eufy, do che si Well,
Heather Yanni multilin Waukon. For our Khalil min, Luca Ignacy. In
learning the Laramie O 's law, he has been
meeting with people does not generally benefit except having a
good time with regards to what's been said and what's been
transmitted and related. So basically just having a good
laugh, right now saying, I mean, you could probably have that in a,
you know, once in a while, but if that's what we thrive upon, and
that's a problem, he says.
He says, lesson that decrease your meeting with people except to go
and learn some knowledge, or to reform something of yours to get
something to benefit in a way. So there's nothing wrong with doing
business. There's nothing wrong with you know, but business is not
a it's not a full full time occupation. Right. It's enough to
basically survive and to basically planned for your future, but not
in a way that it should obsess. So that was a loser. He doesn't spend
too much time on it. But I think we get the point that you need
time alone. And again, we haven't even started talking about really
being alone yet. Because today you don't have to be with people
physically right. You can just be with people, millions of people
on your, on our phones. So we have a totally different idea now of
what it means to be alone. So when we when he's saying being alone,
it means without the phone.
When we read when we're
when we're treating the phone as a phone, and not as anything else. I
remember when I first got the smartphone, there was a feature
that I wanted on the
Long.
Right? It was a smartphone. Currently, which one it was the
first one I got. So HTC or something, right? I think it was
the best phone on the market then or something like that was very
good phone.
Aside from the apple, it was different. And there was a feature
on the phone I wanted, I can't remember the feature was a phone
feature. And it didn't have it.
Like, why does it have it? My old Nokia used to have that. So, I
mean, if you use a phone just as a phone Hamdulillah, right. But when
it comes to everything else,
then you don't need people. All of that.
All basically it's worse.
You learn much more negativity,
virtual negativity, which then becomes real for us really, at the
end of the day, that may Allah give us the Tofik to wean
ourselves of these things into.
I spoke to somebody today
about Arturo.
Now,
that's crazy stuff, man. It's full of good
advices and all the rest of it good morals. And you know, there's
no
explicitly haram stuff in no.
I mean, there's stuff in there. But there's nothing like what you
would get in other places, and so on and so forth.
But the point is that this guy is now on the fourth.
Was he called the fourth
season? He's on the fourth season.
When did he start in the middle of December?
Like, wow,
he started in the middle. If you don't understand it, if you don't
know what I'm talking about, just just forget it. Just ignore it. He
started in the middle of December. And he's been through in one and a
half months, literally about one and a half months. He's on the
fourth season. Wow.
That's crazy.
Right? That's, that's just too much.
Like, I'm not saying is it halal or haram to watch? I'm just
saying, wow, you know, like, Come on, man. What do you been doing?
You know, what are you doing?
thermen. Okay, the next point, which is number eight, which is
pray principle number eight. For the path is a subject, which goes
with a Lucilla.
But again, in the modern world, this is whole skewed something in
silence. So one is we're not meeting with too much. Number two,
we're not talking too much. But a lot of fitna is without talking at
least we're talking to somebody will probably be more regulated
than
if we're online. Right. So he says, A Thurman Assumpta Ella and
Nicola heater Allah to refrain from speaking too much, except
when you're remembering Allah subhanaw taala for inoculum a
huge, beautiful rock. This is the reason he says because when you
speak too much, that creates
that that creates a you can say,
What's the word for this?
It causes you to lose concentration, lose focus, because
you have to think of different things when you speak to people.
Right? Well, not to lube oil jumeriah the objective in life is
to have a focus. Now, of course, if you're speaking to somebody for
relevant things based on your focus and purpose Alhamdulillah
but when you're just going around talking to people because you like
speaking, right, then that creates a scattered thoughts in your mind.
You can't be then focused in terms of your purpose. This could be a
business book, this could be you know, telling you like if you want
to do good business, you need to be focused and stop wasting your
time. But it's basically saying you need to do this for the sake
of Allah Subhan Allah to Allah, wa ala Duc de Mahalo, tetanus, le
Durotan, it says, we're saying this in the context of even
meeting people, for people for needs. So even when you're meeting
people for needs, because in the previous one, he mentioned that
you shouldn't be meeting too many people anyway. You should restrict
yourself to who we meet.
That's what a great dua for that is, Oh Allah, Allahu Allah is
looking at her book, oh Allah grant us your love, and the love
of those whose love benefits us with you. That means we can be
more selective and Allah will provide us people that being with
insha, Allah is beneficial, and hopefully a tool to get us closer
to Allah.
As opposed to just being with people that
is a waste of time for us. So even when we're meeting with people for
permissible reasons, even then, just don't talk too much. Don't
overdo it. That's relative, depending on you know, that's
relative to each person like I can't see like you
There's only this many words, right for everybody that's going
to be different.
But he says basically that this is all based on the context of
meeting people for needs. And he says this is taken from where he
says in the poem, he says we're heartless albuminuria.
It says
Remove, relieve relieve the heart from all authorities, basically
everything but Allah. So your focus needs to be that I want to
do the best in this world. For the sake of Allah whatever I'm doing.
A massive Allah heeta Allah me Merlin was Oh Jatin wala din wotja
hin while meanwhile Amel. Whether that be your wealth, whether that
be basically don't let other than Allah in your hearts, whether that
be your wealth. I mean, you can have wealth, you can have it on
you. You can have it in your hands, just don't put it in your
heart. Wear it, consume it, give it take it, just don't put it in
your heart. Right. That's a very interesting way to understand
that. You can have wealth, but just don't become obsessed by it
in your heart. Same likewise, your spouse, your children, your honor,
your position. Korea, for example.
I live in Amman, just recently I was in a conference on leadership
and
various different people, academics and so on discussing
leadership, Muslim leadership in the modern world and so on.
And
one of the things was that how come we don't see
enough women scholars out there
right. Now what's really strange is that Masha Allah in many of the
areas, there's a lot of female scholars doing a lot of good
stuff.
For example, if you come to forest gate, you go to Hackney, you go to
Ilford Tower Hamlets, there's a lot of good stuff, Luton, there's
a good stuff going on there.
There's there's a big difference between those areas and Barnet,
for example.
Or maybe Kingston
or maybe
Wembley for that matter. Wembley, some stuff going on, but
surrounding areas. Now, when those people don't see scholars doing
anything, they think scholars aren't doing anything. All these
graduates, what are they doing? Well go to the areas where they
from, because they don't like moving out of those areas,
unfortunately. And you will see that they are doing an amazing
job. There's a lot more they can do. But they're doing an amazing
job. They're teaching children. They're teaching adults, they're
teaching men, they're teaching women at different levels. They're
doing counseling, they're at schools, they've got Islamic
schools, they've got other programs going on, you know,
there's they're doing a lot Hamdulillah. Now, if you don't see
that, it means you are to blame because your community hasn't send
you send your children to become become scholars, your male and
female T students, you have not sent them to become so that they
can come back.
Right.
So one of the questions like for example, I said, like my wife, she
deals in most questions related to women issues. I don't deal with
them anymore. I've trained her we taught her and she's already
studied elsewhere. And she does it. So they're like, how can we
don't know about this? Where's the website said we don't need a
website because it gets enough questions anyway. Right? You put a
website up, you're going to be inundated says, Well, why don't
you get help us? Well, not every scholar is a manager to when you
get help, as you need to coordinate. Right? You need time.
Then another scholar there who is there on Shala. He made a very
good point. He said what we have to understand that in Islam,
there's no concept of Korea. Nevermind for women, not even for
men. Is there a concept of Korea?
Right in Islam, there's no concept of Korea, you do things for the
sake of Allah, you don't do it to make a brand of myself.
That's a very modern idea to create a brand for yourself with
your name even right and even have your name as your domain name
SubhanAllah. I'm not saying it's wrong. But I'm saying that's the
modern way of doing it. Right. I'm a brand.
And if my brand doesn't work, then maybe I'll shorten my name and
make a new brand out of it. I recreate myself.
Abbreviations, for example, say branding. There's no concept of
that in Islam. Now while
in the selfie world where everybody wants a selfie, that
kind of stuff is hip and looks cool in that.
But that's not the objective really. If somebody has to do
that, with a very pure mind and pure heart and sincere it you know
not
Under, say, Tara, but then there's a lot of things that come with
that seem as well. So it gets complicated. So what I don't know
what people want, at the end of the day, you know, like, what do
people want? So
we have to think about the whole career aspect. I'm not saying
don't have a career, right? I'm not saying don't have a career.
I'm not saying that. I'm just saying you need to be careful
about what you want from life. What is it all about?
Ultimately, what what do you want?
Ultimately, where do you want to get to? We have another world to
think about. Others don't have another world to think of they
have one but they don't. They ignored the other world, a lot of
people. This is the only world for us. This is your only live once in
this world, of course. But there's another world that we have to
think about. If we don't think of the Hereafter, at least once a
day, then I don't think that we're doing enough. We have to think at
least once a day, that yes, this is a trend temporary world. I've
got another word to think about. That will broaden our horizons.
You know a person who can focus on the hereafter mashallah the
tensions dissipate. Probably one of the best.
One of the best cures for sadness is to think about the the
hereafter that I've got something else to look for this world is
miserable, I've got something to look forward to where it'll be
pure justice as long as I can do the best.
But with that, you have to also keep in mind Allah's forgiveness
and generosity.
Because otherwise shaytaan can make us feel
quite despondent. There's a woman who just communicated recently,
she was not practicing at all. And then she practice started
practicing. And now that she is practicing for a few months or
whatever it is, she started seeing some very bad dreams, very
frightening dreams. And she wants interpretations of these dreams. I
said your dreams do not need an interpretation. They're one of the
three main categories of dreams that as the Hadith in Bukhari says
that a row el Amin, Allah, Allahu numina shaytaan and the other one
is basically disparate thoughts and advice.
So primarily, I mean, you can categorize dreams in at least five
categories, but three other broader categories one is anything
which is positive,
positive and glad tiding
giving you some hope, generally is from Allah. Anything which is
frightening.
And saddening. Grief causing is generally from the shape on those
are to be the way to deal with those the antidote to that is to
ignore it. Shaytan is a bully. And those children get bullied more
who get fussed a bit more. Those who like hey, it doesn't make a
difference. You stop pulling them anyway. So the basically what the
idea was that look, by never used to get those dreams before she
said. So they must mean something now, well, you never got those
dreams because shaytaan didn't have to worry about you before.
You were no trouble at that time. Now he's having to make an effort.
Right and you don't want to get bowled over just by a few dreams
zero they're not a reality.
Right? They're not a reality. So
and the third are other harmful alum which is mentioned in the
Quran as well. It's basically just your thoughts of the day they come
and depict themselves at night. I mean, that happens to a lot of
people, right things that you told thinking about. That's what
happened. So a lot of people anyway.
So we're going to have a lot of challenges in this world. But what
he said then is what he says then is that we're really having cool
emotion in anti local called BB, Rob, and anything else that you
know, you should purify your heart from anything else that's going to
that is going to occupy
you from your heart being connected to your Lord. Bill, Jed
and you need to do this with seriousness or you need to work on
this with full efforts.
Allah subhanaw taala says because Allah says when Latina Jaha do
fina Lana de nom su willona. Those who do make that effort for us in
our path, we will open up the pathways for them. Allah's
promises that you make the effort, Allah will open up Allah promises
that that if we make the effort, He will guide us to the paths. It
can only get easier. In sha Allah it can only get easier. That's why
he says well, Mujahidin How do you do this which I want law tells us
to do making this effort how would you do it? He says the couldn't be
more harder for the next if he Hawa it's to oppose the knifes the
ego. The desire from fulfilling its desires haram desires mal
hoping in Allah heeta Allah while inculcating fear
See, a lot of us may be practicing.
These things don't sometimes doesn't. You know, there are so
many things we need to be concerned about. Some of us may be
practicing.
So we do our prayers, we try to do everything right. But we easily
can do certain sins. We may feel even guilty about them. So the
question is, why do we do those sins? I think the realisation
should be that we don't have enough hope. We don't have enough
fear. It's all hope.
Because we're doing good, but we're not avoiding sin, which
means we don't have enough fear to deter us from the sin. There needs
to be enough fear to deter us from sin as well. As much as there
needs to be hope to keep us going.
Subhanallah that's why
after Toba? Well, you have to make Toba first because otherwise we're
still carrying this in ones that always made them we need to just
avoid by using fear as a shield. Allah says what a merman Hoffa
Nakamoto Obi Wan a hunt NAFSA annual hover for internal janitor
he'll network, the one who is fearful of the position of his
Lord basically is fearful of the of the majesty of his Lord. And
then because of that, he
prevents
his self from fulfilling its desires, then for that person,
Jana is the about that person they have to do two things they have to
make, they have to have the fear of the Lord. And then they have to
abstain from indulgence, then Jana is paradise is for them as an
abode agender the shoot if it dunya, in fact, to paradise. One
is the paradise in this world that Allah will give you. Allah will
give you his presence in this world you will have you will
witness things that will help you. And we're Janet and Hollywood Phil
Raka. And of course, then the hereafter abode of the Hereafter
the everlasting abode of the Hereafter. INLA and the shorter
Sadie and Liahona Ha, if I mean either Villa
except that one of the conditions for your traveling the path is
that you mustn't do this. Now this is where you're going to think
what does that mean? You just talked about having fear of your
Lord. Right? And now he's saying except that the condition of the
path is that you should not be fearful of the punishment of
Allah.
Didn't you just say you must have fear. Now he's saying You mustn't
be fearful of the punishment of Allah. And then he carries on, he
says, we're in LA Cana ad, we're in the corner of the zoo in LA
Yeah, I'm in LA either Hafele, AKA a club. Otherwise, you will become
a very bad slave of Allah, who only performs when he fears the
punishment.
Now you get it. You must fear Allah as a reverent fear of his
Maqam of his status, that I can't look, I must do right for him. I
can't do this in while he's watching me. And he's always
watching me, not because I'm going to be punished for it.
So the fear must be a particular type of fear. It's a rare,
reverential fear of Allah.
A respectful fear, not a fear that I'm going to get punished. I'm not
going to do that. So I better do this. Otherwise, they're going to
cut my wage. Or they're going to do to say, No, I want to do it
because I want to be an honorable individual. And I want to show
them and I want to respect them. More than that, in fact, right.
But yeah, half of who is lower than one Maha button. But no, you
fear him out of reverence and awe for him. That's why Allah subhanho
wa Taala says, what even half a macabre Robbie, the one who fears
the status of his Lord, the position of his Lord. He didn't
say that it fears the punishment only. Alright. Well, I'm your call
either A or B. He didn't say the punishment of his Lord, forgive
him. So understand this. It's just a better way of fear. Because
fearing punishment is a very selfish idea.
fearing Allah and his position, his status, basically tells us
tells him that we are your servant, and we were just doing
what you want us to do and what we should be doing because we are
your slaves. A slave can only be fearful because he has no
prerogative. He has no discretion.
We ask Allah subhana wa Tada to grant us
the blessing, the true fear.
And may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to understand our priorities
and the right purpose and all of the challenges that we have around
us May Allah make it easy for us to go beyond them and deal with
them in the rightful way and come out of it alive in the hereafter
