Abu Taymiyyah – Ep 11 Being Alone With Allah How To Soften Your Heart Series

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.

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.
