My beloved brothers and sisters,
Mahabitul
Khalluatibullah,
loving to be alone with Allah
to be in seclusion.
Standing
in the night
is from the most beneficial
of causes
in
preserving one's health.
Ummin Ummna il Umarilikatheer
Milamradil Musbina. And it's from the greatness of
that which protects an individual from
serious sicknesses,
umin Anshatlasheinil
Badaniwarruhiwarqalb
And from the
most energetic
and most
beneficial of that which
nourishes
the body,
the raw, the soul, and also the heart.
He says, from the signs that an individual
really loves Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and he
also brings about the love of Allah Azza
wa Jal,
is
is loving to be alone with Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, especially
when it becomes very dark.
He also tells us about. Just as
the night
prayer, it expiates one's sins.
He also raised an individual in rank.
It is only appropriate that one has
periods in his day,
that he interacts
with his
He's in seclusion,
and
he holds himself to account.
And Him doing that is better and more
virtuous
than Him
getting together with people
and sitting around and maybe benefiting them.
Alayhi
says,
it is a must and an act
that the servant,
he has
periods
in his day,
which he is alone.
Dua. And also remembers Allah SWJ, he prays,
he contemplates.
And also holding Himself to account and rectifying
His Heart.
And
that which is specific to that,
He says,
some of the relatives of Ibn Taym Rahmatullah
told him
that
when he first started,
he would sometimes go out to the Sahara,
go out to the Desert,
and He would seclude himself from everyone.
And then he says one day I followed
him
and I heard him
utter
the lines of poetry that the one who
was crazy of Leila used to say to
her.
You've heard of Romeo and Juliet, right?
In the Arab world they have an equivalent
called Majnu Leila, the one who was crazy
about Leila. What was the line of poetry?
I leave the homes of the people.
Perhaps
I can speak what's inside of my heart
and interact
with you, my lord, with that which is
a secret to me when I'm alone with
You.
SubhanAllah.
My brothers and my sisters,
it may seem that this is something extremely
difficult to do,
to spend hours alone, away from everyone, especially
with all the
different things that occupy us on a day
to day basis.
You may start with 5 minutes, 10 minutes,
and then it increases.
And before you know it, you'll see yourself
secluding yourself with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And you'll see the periods
increasing
and becoming longer.
And this only increases
and this only
causes you to rise
in the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
and become beloved to Him.
And of course
you will have
the most purest of hearts when you do
that
as an individual.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi

at the Knowledge College have managed to revolutionize
the way Islamic Studies is taught in the
West Alhamdulillah
You see, before the knowledge college, you'd have
to find a teacher which is a hard
enough task as it is. And if you
found that teacher,
you'd have to hope that he would actually
finish the book that he was teaching
which again, was not very likely but now,
Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek knowledge from
the comfort of your own home and you're
not just watching videos
that have been pre recorded but you're being
taught live where you can actually engage
with your teachers
and with your fellow students in the communities
that we've built for you guys online.
