00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			My beloved brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Mahabitul
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			Khalluatibullah,
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10
			loving to be alone with Allah
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:12
			to be in seclusion.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:16
			Standing
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			in the night
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			is from the most beneficial
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24
			of causes
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:25
			in
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			preserving one's health.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Ummin Ummna il Umarilikatheer
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			Milamradil Musbina. And it's from the greatness of
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			that which protects an individual from
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			serious sicknesses,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			umin Anshatlasheinil
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:38
			Badaniwarruhiwarqalb
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			And from the
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			most energetic
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46
			and most
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			beneficial of that which
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:49
			nourishes
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			the body,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			the raw, the soul, and also the heart.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			He says, from the signs that an individual
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
			really loves Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and he
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			also brings about the love of Allah Azza
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			wa Jal,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			is
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			is loving to be alone with Allah Subhanahu
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Wa Ta'ala, especially
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			when it becomes very dark.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			He also tells us about. Just as
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			the night
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			prayer, it expiates one's sins.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			He also raised an individual in rank.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			It is only appropriate that one has
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:52
			periods in his day,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			that he interacts
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			with his
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			He's in seclusion,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			and
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			he holds himself to account.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			And Him doing that is better and more
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:16
			virtuous
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			than Him
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			getting together with people
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			and sitting around and maybe benefiting them.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:33
			Alayhi
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			says,
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			it is a must and an act
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			that the servant,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:41
			he has
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:42
			periods
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:44
			in his day,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			which he is alone.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			Dua. And also remembers Allah SWJ, he prays,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			he contemplates.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			And also holding Himself to account and rectifying
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			His Heart.
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			And
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			that which is specific to that,
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			He says,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			some of the relatives of Ibn Taym Rahmatullah
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			told him
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:16
			that
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			when he first started,
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			he would sometimes go out to the Sahara,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			go out to the Desert,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			and He would seclude himself from everyone.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			And then he says one day I followed
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:44
			him
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:45
			and I heard him
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:47
			utter
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			the lines of poetry that the one who
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			was crazy of Leila used to say to
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:53
			her.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			You've heard of Romeo and Juliet, right?
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:58
			In the Arab world they have an equivalent
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:00
			called Majnu Leila, the one who was crazy
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			about Leila. What was the line of poetry?
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			I leave the homes of the people.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			Perhaps
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			I can speak what's inside of my heart
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:18
			and interact
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21
			with you, my lord, with that which is
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			a secret to me when I'm alone with
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:24
			You.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:25
			SubhanAllah.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:28
			My brothers and my sisters,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			it may seem that this is something extremely
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			difficult to do,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			to spend hours alone, away from everyone, especially
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			with all the
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			different things that occupy us on a day
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			to day basis.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			You may start with 5 minutes, 10 minutes,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			and then it increases.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:48
			And before you know it, you'll see yourself
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			secluding yourself with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			And you'll see the periods
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			increasing
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:58
			and becoming longer.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			And this only increases
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			and this only
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			causes you to rise
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:06
			in the sight of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			and become beloved to Him.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:08
			And of course
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			you will have
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
			the most purest of hearts when you do
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			that
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			as an individual.
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:17
			Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:18
			Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:19
			Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Rahmatullahi Wa We
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			at the Knowledge College have managed to revolutionize
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			the way Islamic Studies is taught in the
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			West Alhamdulillah
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			You see, before the knowledge college, you'd have
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			to find a teacher which is a hard
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			enough task as it is. And if you
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:34
			found that teacher,
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			you'd have to hope that he would actually
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			finish the book that he was teaching
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			which again, was not very likely but now,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			Alhamdulillah, you can study and seek knowledge from
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			the comfort of your own home and you're
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			not just watching videos
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			that have been pre recorded but you're being
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			taught live where you can actually engage
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			with your teachers
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			and with your fellow students in the communities
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			that we've built for you guys online.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			If you'd be interested in seeking knowledge and
