			-Mursaleen Wa Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen Allahumma Salli Ala
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa Ala Ali Sayyidina Muhammadin Wa
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:02
			Barik Wa Sallim One of the things that
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:07
			we understand in the science of Tasawwuf, Islamic
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			spirituality, Tazkiyah, Ihsan, whatever word we want to
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:15
			use for it, is that the key part
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:19
			of this science is the inner awakening.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			Because we understand that Ghaflah or heedlessness is
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:27
			the root cause of all of our disobediences.
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			So as long as we are in that
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:38
			state, that condition, you can call it a
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:44
			condition of sickness, we are always going to
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			be vulnerable to sins and disobedience.
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:49
			Why?
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:52
			Because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is not
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			going to be active in our consciousness.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			Allah Ta'ala is our creator, our master,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			is the sole authority for us.
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			And when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:07
			not active in our consciousness, then this dunya
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			becomes active.
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:13
			And so it becomes easy to fall into
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:18
			behaviors and actions that take us away from
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:19
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			And this is human nature, and we have
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:27
			discussed this before, that our nature is that
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			when a person realizes that somebody of authority
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			is watching them, then they are going to
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			act very differently.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			Every single day we experience this.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			Our behavior in front of our parents is
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:46
			very different than when we are alone.
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			Why is that?
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			Because our parents have authority over us.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:53
			And that makes us change ourselves.
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			Our behavior in front of our bosses and
		
00:24:57 --> 00:25:00
			managers is very different from when they are
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			not present.
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			Our behavior in front of our masha'ikh
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:07
			as well as our teachers is very different
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:09
			than when they are not in front of
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:09
			us.
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:14
			And usually I give this example, because almost
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			every day we experience this.
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:21
			People usually drive their cars, and they are
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:23
			not careful sometimes with the speed limit.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:27
			And imagine a person going 60 when they
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:29
			are supposed to be going at 25.
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:34
			Even if they are driving safely, if they
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			are over speeding, if they become aware of
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			the presence of a traffic cop or a
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:44
			cop in general, without even thinking they are
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:45
			going to apply brakes.
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			And it's very ajeeb, because everybody does that.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			So this is something that is like a
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:53
			muscle memory, that somebody of authority who can
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:56
			cause us harm by giving us tickets or
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			taking away points, all of that becomes ha
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			'adhir really quickly, without even thinking.
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:06
			And so we will apply those brakes, we
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:06
			will slow down.
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			And so this is what Allah Ta'ala
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:12
			has put within each and every one of
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:12
			us.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:15
			And so this concept is also very key
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:16
			in our shariah.
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:19
			As Allah Ta'ala says that Allah Ta
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			'ala knows the khyanat of your eyes, your
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:26
			sight, your gaze, and whatever is hidden in
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			your hearts, in the Qur'an, Allah Ta
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			'ala knows.
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:33
			We can be peeking left and right, Allah
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			Ta'ala knows that.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:37
			We can be feeling certain things in our
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:42
			hearts, certain emotions, certain connections, ta'alooqat within
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:43
			our hearts, Allah Ta'ala knows that.
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:49
			So it doesn't matter how we pretend in
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			front of each other.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			We are great actors, we have a lifetime
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:57
			of experience of pretending in front of each
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			other.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:59
			What really matters is that Allah Ta'ala
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:00
			sees that.
		
00:27:01 --> 00:27:03
			And so Allah Ta'ala wants us to
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:05
			know that Allah Ta'ala sees this.
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			And Allah Ta'ala inquires in the Qur
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:13
			'an, أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ Do they
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:13
			not know?
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:16
			This is like with ta'ajjub.
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			Do they really?
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:19
			Do they think that or do they not
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			know that Allah Ta'ala is watching them?
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:28
			So this awakening of our spirituality, of our
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:31
			qalb, of our ruh, of our consciousness, to
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			the fact that Allah Ta'ala is watching
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:38
			us all the time, this is really one
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			of the key elements of the saghaf.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			This is what we can call khuduriya qalb.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:47
			Other people will call it fana'iyyat as
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:47
			well.
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:51
			You can have different terminologies.
		
00:27:51 --> 00:27:53
			And terminologies don't matter.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			The terminology itself is baseless.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:00
			If we know what it means, but if
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			we don't experience it, then it's of no
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:03
			benefit.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			And so it is essential that we are
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:08
			able to actualize this.
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:11
			There is no tasawwuf without it.
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:13
			Tasawwuf is not so we feel good about
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			our zikr.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:16
			Tasawwuf is not that we feel good about
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:17
			ourselves.
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			In terms of, oh, I did so many
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			asba'ak and so many asba'ak.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			None of that eventually matters.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			If we have been unable to experience a
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:31
			very small thing, khuduriya qalb, presence of heart.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			Or in other words, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:36
			'ala is watching us.
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:38
			This whole ka'fiyat is also known as
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:39
			ihsan.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			The Nabi Akram Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam had mentioned
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			that ihsan is what?
		
00:28:47 --> 00:28:48
			What is ihsan?
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:51
			An ta'budallaha ka'annaka tara.
		
00:28:52 --> 00:28:55
			That you worship Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			as if you are in a state of
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			mushahidah.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:28:59
			As if you see Allah Ta'ala.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			Now that is certainly a very high state.
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:05
			To be in a state of mushahidah, of
		
00:29:05 --> 00:29:07
			istajaliyat, emanations.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:13
			But what is achievable is the second part.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			And the second part is, fa illam takuntara
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:19
			innahu yaraak.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			That know that Allah Ta'ala is watching.
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:24
			If you don't feel you are in a
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:26
			state of mushahidah, you should be in a
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:27
			state of muraqabah.
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:31
			This is really a literal meaning of muraqabah.
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			Nigeban.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:33
			To be vigilant.
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:37
			So muraqabah, what we say, do muraqabah, do
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:37
			muraqabah.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			This is really what muraqabah is, being vigilant
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			that Allah Ta'ala is watching us.
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:46
			And now if that watching is with the
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50
			azmat, the haybat, the khashiyat, the khawf of
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:57
			Then certainly we will stop our certain behaviors.
		
00:29:58 --> 00:30:01
			And those behaviors could be ikhlaqi, those could
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			be related to hayat, those could be related
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:08
			to our thinking, our wanting, our desires, our
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:08
			passions.
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:12
			Our self-image, any of that.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			All of that will change.
		
00:30:15 --> 00:30:17
			So this is what we call change of
		
00:30:17 --> 00:30:18
			behaviors.
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:22
			And so sahaba karam rizwanullahi ajma'een, they
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:26
			were constantly in this kayfiyah of ihsan.
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:30
			Now the daraja or the intensity changed.
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:35
			So we know from hadith mubarakah that sahaba
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:38
			karam rizwanullahi ajma'een themselves said that we
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:39
			feel munafiq.
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:40
			Why?
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:42
			We feel munafiq that Ya Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:30:42 --> 00:30:46
			Wasallam, when we are in your presence, we
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			are in a higher state of iman.
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			We feel like Jannat and Jahannam is in
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			front of us.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:53
			And when we go into our own homes,
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:57
			it's not like we forget Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:30:57 --> 00:30:57
			Ta'ala.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:01
			That daraja, we are also focused on our
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			household, our business, our families, which is also
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:04
			essential.
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:09
			But the Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam explained that
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:13
			what you feel in my presence, if you
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:16
			felt all the time that angels would come
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:20
			down and they will shake your hands, but
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:20
			gahi gahi.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:22
			Sometimes, sometimes.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:25
			So this is the urooj o noozool that
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:28
			the people of the Salaf talk about.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:30
			That sometimes you are in a state of
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:32
			urooj and when you are in a state
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:36
			of urooj, you experience what Hazrat Hanzala R
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			.A. was talking about.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:41
			That Jannat and Jahannam is literally in front
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:41
			of you.
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:44
			That you are in the presence of the
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:44
			Arsh.
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			You feel that intensity of mashahidah.
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:50
			And then other times, it's not that you
		
00:31:50 --> 00:31:54
			are forgetful, that presence is still there, but
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:55
			the intensity goes down.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			I'm working, I'm with my family.
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:02
			Somewhere there you still know that Allah Subhanahu
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Wa Ta'ala is watching you, but it
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			may not be to that level of intensity.
		
00:32:07 --> 00:32:10
			So inshallah, this is something that we should
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			be looking forward.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:16
			The hadith by Hazrat Anas bin Malik R
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:20
			.A. That one time he was walking with
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:23
			Rasulullah S.A.W. And they came across
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:29
			an Ansari sahabi, Hazrat Haritha R.A. And
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:32
			Rasulullah S.A.W. inquired of him.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			This is the basis of rabita.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:38
			The inquiry was, how was your day?
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			What is your state?
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			You know what we say to each other,
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			kaifal haal.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:46
			But kaifal haal doesn't mean I went to
		
00:32:46 --> 00:32:48
			school, I went to job, I did this,
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:48
			I did this.
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:51
			Haal is internal.
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:55
			Kaifal haal, you know, what is your state?
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:57
			What condition are you in?
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:03
			And Hazrat Haritha R.A. mentioned that, Asbahtu
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:04
			mu'minal haqqa.
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:07
			That my morning was in a state that
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:11
			I was in a complete state of iman.
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:12
			I was a complete mu'min.
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:17
			It's a big claim to make.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:20
			And Nabi S.A.W. asked him, what
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:23
			is the dalil?
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:25
			What is the evidence of this claim that
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:28
			you are calling yourself mu'minal haqqa?
		
00:33:30 --> 00:33:33
			And you know, the way he described this
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:34
			was just amazing.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			The ahwaal that he talks about, subhanAllah.
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:41
			We just pray that Allah gives us even
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			a drop of those ahwaal.
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			He mentions, Ya Rasulullah S.A.W. My
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:49
			soul has become averse to the dunya.
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:52
			What is this aversion to dunya?
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			This is what we call zuhr.
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:58
			Dunya mein hoon, dunya ka talabgaar nahin hoon.
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			Bazaar se guzraa hoon, kharidaar nahin.
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			That my soul, my soul has become averse
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:08
			to the dunya.
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:10
			And it has fled from it.
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:15
			Bhaagti, ab koi cheez achi nahin lagti.
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:18
			Ab koi cheez achi nahin lagti.
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:22
			Then he says that, I have made my
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:23
			nights sleepless.
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:27
			Obviously not using smartphones and internet.
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:31
			It is, you are in that ta'alluk,
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:34
			you are in that connection with Allah.
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			Whether it is standing in qiyam, or falling
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			in sujoo, the reading of the Quran.
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			But you know, that ta'alluk in which
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			nobody is disturbing you.
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47
			There is nobody with you.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			Not a single soul is there.
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:52
			And it is just you and your mahboob,
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			your maqsood, your masjood, your matloob.
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			And you are engaging with your Rabb.
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			So my nights are sleepless.
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:05
			And I have made my day full of
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:05
			thirst.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:08
			Full of thirst meaning I fast.
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:12
			So this becomes marghoob to them.
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:14
			Fasting is marghoob.
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:17
			And fasting is really, if you think about
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:17
			it.
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:20
			Insha'Allah in a month, in a week
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:20
			or so.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:24
			May Allah take us to Ramadan, to this
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:24
			blessed month.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:25
			Again insha'Allah.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			Fasting is all about negation of the nafs.
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32
			The needs of the nafs.
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			It is the need of the nafs to
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:38
			eat, to drink, to be intimate with your
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:39
			spouses.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:42
			These are needs to sleep.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:45
			And so fasting in the month of Ramadan
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:48
			negates each and every one of those aspects.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:52
			Control your eating, drinking, intimacy, sleeping, all of
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:52
			that.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:55
			And so he is saying that even my
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			days are full of thirst.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:35:59
			That even my day, my nafs is in
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:00
			my control.
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			And then he goes further.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:07
			He describes this maqam of ihsan.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:10
			He says that it is as if I
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:14
			am gazing upon the people of Jannah.
		
00:36:14 --> 00:36:15
			He says it is as if I am
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			in front of the throne of my Lord.
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			In front of Arsh of Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:20
			ta'ala.
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:22
			That no eyes have seen it.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			But this is the experience.
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:26
			You feel like you are in the presence.
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:28
			This is your words.
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			And Allah does give that.
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:34
			And he says it is as if I
		
00:36:34 --> 00:36:36
			am gazing upon the people of Jannah.
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:37
			Visiting each other.
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:41
			And as if I am gazing upon people
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:42
			of fire.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:36:44
			Trying to help each other in the fire.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:49
			And Rasulullah s.a.w. mentioned that you
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			have gained a vision.
		
00:36:50 --> 00:36:51
			I mean this is your insight.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:53
			Basira.
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:57
			That your eyes have opened.
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			You are in a state of awakening.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:03
			Your inner eye.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:04
			Your batin.
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			It has opened up.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:08
			You have gained a vision.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:10
			Now stick with it.
		
00:37:11 --> 00:37:11
			Hold on to it.
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:13
			Don't let it go.
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			Don't just make it a hal.
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:18
			Make it a maqam for you.
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:20
			Make it a maqam for you.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:25
			And then Rasulullah s.a.w. turns to
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:28
			Hazrat Anas s.a.w. This is a
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:31
			servant whose heart is enlightened with iman.
		
00:37:32 --> 00:37:33
			This is what I am saying.
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:34
			Noor-e-iman.
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:36
			Halawat of iman.
		
00:37:36 --> 00:37:37
			Noor-e-iman.
		
00:37:38 --> 00:37:41
			Again, all of these things we really need
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:41
			to understand.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:45
			These are not abstract academic terms.
		
00:37:47 --> 00:37:51
			All of these terminologies have ahwal, kaifiyat behind
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:51
			them.
		
00:37:51 --> 00:37:54
			So when we say iman roshan ho gaya.
		
00:37:54 --> 00:37:56
			It is not like a bulb.
		
00:37:56 --> 00:37:58
			It is something that you feel inside.
		
00:37:58 --> 00:37:59
			Elevated inside.
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:02
			The noor-e-iman, the sweetness of faith.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			It is something that you experience inside.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:08
			Alhamdulillah.
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			Again, it is something that we have to
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:12
			ponder upon.
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:16
			How do we experience this state?
		
00:38:17 --> 00:38:22
			How do we make our ma'mulat, make our
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			endeavors, so we are able to come into
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			this state?
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:29
			And then we stay with that state.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:31
			And once you are in that state, it
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:35
			doesn't mean that you stop engaging with the
		
00:38:35 --> 00:38:36
			dunya or the people.
		
00:38:37 --> 00:38:40
			But now you are engaging with them while
		
00:38:40 --> 00:38:41
			you are in this state.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:38:43
			This is what the people of the subwoof
		
00:38:43 --> 00:38:45
			will call baqa.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:46
			Baqayat.
		
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49
			So fanayat is to get into that state.
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			Baqayat is that you take that state and
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:54
			now you engage with the dunya while you
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:55
			are in that state.
		
00:38:56 --> 00:38:59
			So this is something that is very much
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			attainable, achievable.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:04
			It is not something you are not, our
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:08
			deen is not for a specific DNA ethnicity.
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:12
			So thinking that maybe these ahlal were for
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:16
			some very special people, of some special tribe.
		
00:39:16 --> 00:39:18
			This is for anyone.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:21
			Anyone can become a Muslim today.
		
00:39:21 --> 00:39:24
			They can make the mujahidah and inshallah they
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:25
			can attain this.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:27
			This deen is for everyone.
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:28
			And it is not just for the men.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:32
			I would actually argue that it is probably
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:34
			easier for women to attain it.
		
00:39:34 --> 00:39:37
			Because Allah has already given them jazb.
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:39
			They have shauq and zauq sometimes that men
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			don't have.
		
00:39:41 --> 00:39:45
			So attaining this nisbat, that state, those ahlal,
		
00:39:45 --> 00:39:48
			is usually easy for the women as well.
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:52
			But sometimes they struggle with what?
		
00:39:52 --> 00:39:53
			I will be very blunt.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			Sometimes they struggle with their tongue.
		
00:39:57 --> 00:39:59
			They struggle with their speech.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			And Nabi ﷺ had mentioned that there will
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:07
			be an abundance of women in jahangm because
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:11
			of lack of control of the tongue of
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:12
			a person.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:16
			So this is something again, because this is
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:20
			not men versus women comparing.
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:23
			It is just we have to look at
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:23
			ourselves.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			I am sure men are like that too.
		
00:40:26 --> 00:40:29
			But overall, if we try to generalize, a
		
00:40:29 --> 00:40:32
			lot of times you do find that this
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:34
			lack of control is there and it affects
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:35
			their spirituality.
		
00:40:37 --> 00:40:42
			So inshallah, Allah mentions in the Quran وَلَا
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:46
			تَكُم مِّنَ الْغَافِلِينَ Do not become amongst those
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:49
			people who are without this state, who are
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:50
			in the state of heedlessness.
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:51
			Don't become.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:40:55
			And so much so, Allah says, it is
		
00:40:55 --> 00:40:58
			very ajeeb today, I would say in the
		
00:40:58 --> 00:41:00
			last 25 to 30 years I have seen
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:04
			this, especially in America, in the US, when
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:07
			we are talking about American Islam, that every
		
00:41:07 --> 00:41:10
			single person wants to become a leader, an
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			Islamic leader.
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:15
			And so Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, His
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:20
			infinite wisdom, أَحْكَمُ الْحَاكِمِينَ Allah says in the
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:23
			Quran, وَلَا تُطِعِ That do not follow those
		
00:41:23 --> 00:41:25
			people, do not follow those leaders.
		
00:41:27 --> 00:41:30
			مَنْ أَقْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُ وَنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ That we
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:35
			have made their hearts غَافِلْ of dhikr of
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:36
			Allah ta'ala.
		
00:41:37 --> 00:41:40
			And dhikr, honestly, if you want to translate,
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:43
			it doesn't mean, you know, sometimes people will
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:45
			mistake this, oh my dhikr is that my
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:48
			لطائفة انحرقت or I feel this.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:52
			Dhikr is that you are in that state,
		
00:41:52 --> 00:41:54
			so you can stay away from guna.
		
00:41:57 --> 00:42:00
			Like nowadays, sometimes we don't sin because we
		
00:42:00 --> 00:42:02
			just don't have the opportunity to sin.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			It's not that we want to stay away
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:04
			from the sin.
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:07
			And you know, this is also from tawfiq
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:09
			from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that alhamdulillah,
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:11
			ya Allah, you have not tested us with
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:11
			this.
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:14
			You know, we don't sin, just the opportunity
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:15
			is not there.
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:17
			Imagine if the opportunity was there, can we
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:21
			truly say that we would become from, you
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:23
			know, we would be amongst those who would
		
00:42:23 --> 00:42:27
			stop ourselves from sinning, meaning being in a
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:30
			state of dhikr that stops us from committing
		
00:42:30 --> 00:42:33
			a sin because of the presence of Allah
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:37
			subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			Can we make that assumption?
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:43
			You know, our teachers tell us about that
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			waqia, about, you know, there was a king
		
00:42:47 --> 00:42:49
			and he was, you know, he came and
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			he was, you know, spending time with his
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:54
			wife and the wife was not in the
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			mood, you know, she was in a bad
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:59
			mood and so the king wanted, you know,
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			wanted to talk to her and, you know,
		
00:43:00 --> 00:43:02
			she was just sort of like pushing him
		
00:43:02 --> 00:43:07
			away and it became, you know, to such
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:12
			an extent that the wife basically said to
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:14
			the king, you know, get away from me,
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:16
			jahannami, right?
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:18
			You know, get away from me, a person
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:20
			of jahannam, from hellfire.
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:24
			Now, you know, he became angry, again, lost
		
00:43:24 --> 00:43:26
			control of himself and replied that if I
		
00:43:26 --> 00:43:30
			am a jahannami, if I am a person
		
00:43:30 --> 00:43:33
			from jahannam, then I give you three talaq,
		
00:43:33 --> 00:43:35
			that I divorce you.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			Now, it's ajeeb, you know, now they spend
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			the night separate, they wake up and now
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:43
			both of them are embarrassed, they're concerned, right?
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:45
			Because both of them understood that they made
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:45
			a mistake.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:51
			So now, because it was a mashroot talaq,
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:55
			meaning there was a short conditional talaq, the
		
00:43:55 --> 00:43:57
			king doesn't know that, you know, if the
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:58
			talaq has taken place because he loved his
		
00:43:58 --> 00:43:59
			wife.
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			The wife doesn't know.
		
00:44:00 --> 00:44:03
			So now they're asking every aalim, every scholar,
		
00:44:06 --> 00:44:10
			nobody knows, how do you ascertain that if
		
00:44:10 --> 00:44:12
			I'm going to jahannam or jannah?
		
00:44:13 --> 00:44:15
			So they went to, and, you know, books
		
00:44:15 --> 00:44:17
			say it was Imam Shafi'i, dahmatullah ta
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:18
			'ala, wallahu aalim.
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:21
			So they went to him and he said,
		
00:44:21 --> 00:44:23
			okay, I want to ask you certain questions
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:28
			in khalwa, in privacy, and if you give
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:30
			me a true answer, then I will inshallah
		
00:44:30 --> 00:44:30
			give you a fatwa.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:31
			He said, okay.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:35
			So he said, was there any single time
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:41
			in your life that you had complete control,
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:47
			ability to commit a sin but because of
		
00:44:47 --> 00:44:49
			fear of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala you
		
00:44:49 --> 00:44:49
			stopped yourself?
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:51
			Because of fear of Allah ta'ala.
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			He started thinking about this and then said,
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:58
			yes, one time it happened that I was
		
00:44:58 --> 00:45:00
			in my court and I went back to
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:03
			my private quarters and there was a young
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:07
			girl, she was cleaning the room and I
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:10
			looked at her and my nafs, you know,
		
00:45:10 --> 00:45:15
			it had certain feelings within it.
		
00:45:16 --> 00:45:19
			And so I locked the door and I
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22
			approached the young girl and the young girl
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			looked at me and she knew what my
		
00:45:24 --> 00:45:28
			intentions were and she said, Ya Malik, O
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			King, Ittaq Allah, that fear Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:45:30 --> 00:45:31
			ta'ala.
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:34
			O King, fear Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:45:34 --> 00:45:38
			When I heard those words, there was like
		
00:45:38 --> 00:45:44
			a fire inside my heart and I unlocked
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:45
			the door and said, leave.
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:50
			That raqia, I can tell and I can
		
00:45:50 --> 00:45:51
			say that it was because of fear of
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:52
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:53
			And she said, fear Allah.
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:57
			And that fear became ghalib on me and
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			I stopped.
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			That's what I did.
		
00:46:00 --> 00:46:03
			And so the imam, the alim said, that
		
00:46:03 --> 00:46:07
			if you, what you say is true, then
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:10
			I give you fatwa that your nikah is
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:14
			valid and you can go and spend time
		
00:46:14 --> 00:46:14
			with your wife.
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17
			So MashaAllah, he's very happy, he goes back
		
00:46:17 --> 00:46:19
			to his queen.
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:21
			Now the other ulama, when they found out,
		
00:46:22 --> 00:46:27
			how can this alim, how can he give
		
00:46:27 --> 00:46:28
			this fatwa?
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:32
			So they approached him, it's like, Sheikh, Allah
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:33
			ta'ala knows.
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:35
			He said, I didn't give this fatwa, it's
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:37
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who gave this
		
00:46:37 --> 00:46:37
			fatwa.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			Allah gave this fatwa.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:41
			It's like, what do you mean?
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:44
			Allah ta'ala says in the Quran, وَأَمَّا
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:50
			مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:54
			رَبِّهِ People who fear standing in front of
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala وَنَحَنْ نَفْسًا أَنِ
		
00:46:57 --> 00:46:59
			الْحَوَى This is really what Allah ta'ala
		
00:46:59 --> 00:46:59
			says.
		
00:47:00 --> 00:47:03
			To really stop your nafs from hawwa, from
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:05
			desires, from passions.
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:06
			Why?
		
00:47:06 --> 00:47:09
			Because of the fear of standing in front
		
00:47:09 --> 00:47:10
			of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:47:12 --> 00:47:15
			فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَعْوَى Allah ta'ala is
		
00:47:15 --> 00:47:18
			saying, my jannat-e ma'wa is for
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:18
			them.
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:22
			For such people, very simple.
		
00:47:22 --> 00:47:25
			The khawf of standing in front of Allah
		
00:47:26 --> 00:47:28
			stops you from the desires of your nafs,
		
00:47:28 --> 00:47:30
			whatever those desires are.
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:33
			Three things.
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:36
			Fear of Allah, khashiyat and khawf of Allah
		
00:47:36 --> 00:47:45
			stops behaviours of disobedience that we might have.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:49
			And then Allah ta'ala says very clearly
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53
			that for such people I have فَإِنَّ In
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:57
			Arabic, what is فَإِنَّ There is no doubt.
		
00:47:59 --> 00:48:01
			There is no doubt about this.
		
00:48:02 --> 00:48:05
			فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَعْوَى Allah ta'ala is
		
00:48:05 --> 00:48:06
			saying, my jannat-e ma'wa is for
		
00:48:06 --> 00:48:06
			them.
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:09
			Allah ta'ala is the one giving the
		
00:48:09 --> 00:48:10
			fatwa.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:13
			So we have to develop that.
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:17
			خَاف The khawf and khashiyat of standing.
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:19
			This is what dhikr is.
		
00:48:20 --> 00:48:23
			If that dhikr is not increasing in our
		
00:48:23 --> 00:48:26
			khawf and khashiyat so we are able to
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:30
			وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى If we are not
		
00:48:30 --> 00:48:33
			able to stop our nafs from its behaviours,
		
00:48:33 --> 00:48:35
			its desires, its passions.
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:36
			What is dhikr?
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			What is tasawwuf?
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:41
			What is this science?
		
00:48:41 --> 00:48:42
			What are we doing?
		
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45
			So it's very simple.
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:46
			It's not that difficult.
		
00:48:46 --> 00:48:48
			And this is what Allah ta'ala is
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:48
			looking for.
		
00:48:49 --> 00:48:51
			And this is what we should be looking
		
00:48:51 --> 00:48:51
			for.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:55
			We need to get that khawf and khashiyat
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:59
			and muhabbat and ishq all in the hawwal
		
00:48:59 --> 00:49:03
			of the qalb that stops us from these
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:04
			behaviours.
		
00:49:05 --> 00:49:08
			Allahu Akbar And you know, this is something
		
00:49:08 --> 00:49:11
			if you go back you will find that
		
00:49:11 --> 00:49:14
			all the mashayikh they did taqraar of this.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:18
			Hazrat Dawood Ta'i, rahmatullah a very famous
		
00:49:20 --> 00:49:22
			sage, a very famous sheikh of this ummah
		
00:49:22 --> 00:49:25
			His uncle used to come to him when
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:26
			he was young.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:32
			So this inculcation the development he was 6
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:35
			or 7 years old maybe younger He said,
		
00:49:35 --> 00:49:37
			you know, Dawood, repeat after me.
		
00:49:38 --> 00:49:39
			Repeat after me.
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			Allah is with me.
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:41
			Allah is watching.
		
00:49:42 --> 00:49:47
			Allahu Ma'ji Allahu Ma'ji Allahu Haziri
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:51
			Allahu Naziri Allah is with me.
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:52
			Allah is Hazir.
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:53
			Allah is Nazir.
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:56
			Just keep repeating that.
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:58
			So Dawood Ta'i, rahmatullah he used to,
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			you know, every night before going, Allahu Haziri
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			Allahu Naziri Allahu Ma'ji Allahu Ma'ji
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:07
			Allah is watching me.
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:11
			He says that by the time I hit
		
00:50:11 --> 00:50:16
			my puberty Alhamdulillah, this Kayfiyah was very ghalib
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:16
			in me.
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:21
			So they were Sahib-e-Nisbat Even before
		
00:50:21 --> 00:50:23
			they knew they were Sahib-e-Nisbat Because
		
00:50:23 --> 00:50:24
			they were true Sahib-e-Nisbat They had
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:27
			the Kayfiyah You didn't need a stamp of
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:29
			approval from some mashayikh You didn't need to
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:32
			be a khalif of somebody They had the
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:36
			Kayfiyah They had the Kayfiyah Allahu Haziri Allahu
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:40
			Naziri Allah Hazir Hai Allah Nazir Hai Allah
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:45
			Mere Saat Hai Allah Mujadik Hai So that's
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:47
			something that, you know, we need to sort
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			of ask ourselves, do we have that or
		
00:50:50 --> 00:50:51
			not?
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:55
			And it's like the literal definition of Taqwa
		
00:50:55 --> 00:51:04
			and Ihsan, literally God Consciousness It is without
		
00:51:04 --> 00:51:10
			Haqiqah, unfortunately It has become more of form
		
00:51:10 --> 00:51:14
			and Takallufat and not necessarily the Haqiqah the
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:16
			reality of what we are supposed to be
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:20
			doing A lot of terminologies, and you know
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:26
			the terminologies are very secretive and very you
		
00:51:26 --> 00:51:29
			know, it's this is the Haqiqah of the
		
00:51:29 --> 00:51:34
			Quran It feels like there is some hidden
		
00:51:34 --> 00:51:38
			knowledge, there is no hidden knowledge These Kayfiyah
		
00:51:38 --> 00:51:40
			I mean the Quran wants to see these
		
00:51:40 --> 00:51:43
			Kayfiyah within us It's just how do we
		
00:51:43 --> 00:51:46
			get there The whole Saluk and Tariq is
		
00:51:46 --> 00:51:50
			basically finding a path that leads us to
		
00:51:50 --> 00:51:53
			these Kayfiyah I can be in a state
		
00:51:53 --> 00:51:55
			of Zikr I can remember Allah, that's it
		
00:51:56 --> 00:51:59
			The Quran says don't be amongst the heedless
		
00:51:59 --> 00:52:02
			I am heedless, how do I become somebody
		
00:52:02 --> 00:52:04
			who is not heedless That's your path, that's
		
00:52:04 --> 00:52:10
			your Saluk It's very simple And so over
		
00:52:10 --> 00:52:15
			and over again you will find that the
		
00:52:15 --> 00:52:18
			Sahaba were very much in this Kayfiyah, now
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:20
			you can argue that they were there because
		
00:52:20 --> 00:52:22
			of just being the Sahaba of Nabi SAW
		
00:52:22 --> 00:52:26
			And there is truth in that Just the
		
00:52:26 --> 00:52:29
			powerful you are in the company of the
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:34
			powerhouse And so on But they also had
		
00:52:34 --> 00:52:36
			a lot of Mujahideen They also had a
		
00:52:36 --> 00:52:39
			lot of Ibadat And all of that helped
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:45
			to stay in that state Okay so We
		
00:52:45 --> 00:52:48
			need to sort of prepare ourselves Think of
		
00:52:48 --> 00:52:53
			this as preparation for Ramadan Then you know
		
00:52:53 --> 00:52:56
			Telling ourselves again what the Sawwuf is all
		
00:52:56 --> 00:53:00
			about And what do I need to do
		
00:53:00 --> 00:53:03
			to get there In a state of Ya
		
00:53:03 --> 00:53:08
			Dasht In a state where Ghaflat doesn't bother
		
00:53:08 --> 00:53:11
			me And it's very easy to do our
		
00:53:11 --> 00:53:13
			own Muhasabah, am I sinning am I not,
		
00:53:13 --> 00:53:14
			what am I thinking about all the day
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:16
			What am I desiring, what are my passions
		
00:53:16 --> 00:53:19
			Very simple, I mean you meaning me and
		
00:53:19 --> 00:53:21
			I, you and I we know what they
		
00:53:21 --> 00:53:25
			are And if they are not aligned or
		
00:53:25 --> 00:53:29
			in line with what Allah SWT wants all
		
00:53:29 --> 00:53:31
			of that Tasawwuf has gone down the drain.
		
00:53:32 --> 00:53:34
			There is no Tasawwuf there then, because there
		
00:53:34 --> 00:53:36
			is no Zikr There is no Ya Dasht
		
00:53:36 --> 00:53:39
			Even though we might understand the science, the
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:44
			form The Haqiqat is not there So InshaAllah
		
00:53:44 --> 00:53:48
			InshaAllah we make Dua to Allah SWT that
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:52
			Allah allows us to become people who are
		
00:53:52 --> 00:53:55
			true Sufis, in the sense that we are
		
00:53:55 --> 00:54:00
			able to remember Allah SWT without effort InshaAllah
		
00:54:00 --> 00:54:04
			and such a remembrance that Allah SWT protects
		
00:54:04 --> 00:54:06
			us and keeps us away from any sin
		
00:54:06 --> 00:54:11
			whether it is a big sin or a
		
00:54:11 --> 00:54:13
			small sin, Allah SWT protects us from that
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:25
			InshaAllah May Allah SWT make it easy InshaAllah
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:28
			for a few minutes, we will close our
		
00:54:28 --> 00:54:30
			eyes and bow our heads in humility and
		
00:54:30 --> 00:54:34
			humbleness Let go of all the thoughts of
		
00:54:34 --> 00:54:38
			the Dunya and everyone in this Dunya and
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:41
			open up your heart to the Anwarat and
		
00:54:41 --> 00:54:44
			Tajalliyat and Fuyuzat of Allah Allah SWT make
		
00:54:44 --> 00:54:48
			intention that this light this Noor is descending
		
00:54:48 --> 00:54:51
			upon us entering into our Qalb, two fingers
		
00:54:51 --> 00:54:54
			below our left chest and our Qalb is
		
00:54:54 --> 00:54:58
			absorbing those Tajalliyat and all the filth and
		
00:54:58 --> 00:55:02
			darkness of the Dunya is exiting and feel,
		
00:55:02 --> 00:55:04
			it's a Wajdani Kaif you have to feel
		
00:55:04 --> 00:55:09
			that your Qalb is saying Allah, Allah, Allah
		
00:55:09 --> 00:55:11
			and that we are listening to it InshaAllah
		
00:58:06 --> 00:58:36
			May
		
01:02:05 --> 01:02:05
			Allah SWT make it easy
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:38
			InshaAllah
		
01:02:48 --> 01:03:18
