Hello Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah while he was happy at
Marine rubbish rally surgery where psyllium very well hello Lakota
Tamil Asami have gone holy.
Once again we turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala in humble
supplication. And as we begin this session, Aloha Malim nama in
Florida. One final remark was
Allahumma Lim nama young fauna
was
Allahumma limnol million photo fine I'll be monitoring them for
now was a dinar Omar Yeah, Allah teaches that which is beneficial
for us and bless us in the knowledge you've granted us an
increase of knowledge.
Last time we
begin our session on the great
shaker.
He has been given many many titles
because of his great
services to the cause of Islam to the revival of especially the
spiritual revival, spiritual and moral revival of the community.
As there was an increasing tendency for Muslims to become
accustomed
and conditioned by
the lifestyle of luxury and
obsession with the dunya and forgetting the
spiritual message of Islam
and Abdulkadir Gilani being a train this color and shape
of both
external and internal sciences. Of course, Islamic sciences have been
divided into
those sciences that deal with the limbs, external aspects of
religion, and those that deal with the spiritual or more, both of
them is in harmony. But if there is a rupture between the two, and
the division between the two then it is a cause for sickness in the
body of Islam and Muslims. So
throughout Islamic history,
you will see this phenomenon repeated over and over again.
It was set by Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam
Yeah, no other little mom in Coonley Khalifa no Lulu.
This knowledge, this knowledge of Islam Islamic religion, will be
transmitted will be learned and transmitted by men and women of
integrity in every generation, so Allah subhanaw taala even though
there will be widespread corruption and declining of morals
and spirituality, Allah Spano Tala has always a group of people.
Liars alo chi Fatima, no Mattila here in an ad hoc
group of my OMA will always be steadfast
on on the straight path, the path of truth
and they will be trying to strive against the corruption, widespread
corruption and bring back
the followers of Islam into the straight path. And this is a
struggle that will go on forever.
And definitely, all of these mentors that we are going to we
are discussing,
they played a great role in this.
And Abdulkadir Gilani was definitely one of them. And he has
been remembered for these great achievements throughout
generations. Although lately His name has been associated with all
kinds of curves, innovations and even forms of shirk. And this is
another irony of Islam. When you have somebody who is who has
earned that White's respect and universal acceptability, people
who want to you know, spoiled and poison the sources enough Islam,
they project all kinds of false beliefs and doctrines and sayings.
This is the case of the color Gilani, there is no shortage,
depth of
status statement of the quandary is completely contradicted by his
own pure teachings.
Now anyway, we cover most of this I
I think we have to go to his were discussing his spiritual.
Most of his work, I said was geared towards spiritual revival.
And
even though he is called a mujtahid, even a monitoring the
monitor, he is somebody who is
an independent jurist, who has this is not accessible to ordinary
scholars, somebody has to master all of the sciences and has to
have a very, very deep understanding of the sources. And
then people, it's the scholars who recognize, a person cannot say, I
am which
he you accept me, he has to, scholars have to watch for that,
for his integrity, first of all, he has to be a person of
integrity.
So, that his words has some weight, it can be acceptable, and
then he has shown to have that mastery of the sources, a deeper
understanding of the source of religion, so, that he can always
bring out, refer back to the sources and infer and deduce from
the sources, rulings that can be applied to the new milieu that is
the role of a mujtahid. So, he can independently formulate opinions,
and face the challenges and find creative ways of expressing the
truth of Islam, the teachings of Islam, in a language that is, can
be understood and comprehended and practiced in the new
circumstances. So, he is called in which the his and I already said
that,
not just in one school, the humbly school which is originally comes
from that is also recognized by the Shafi schoolers, as a mujtahid
in that school as well. This is one of the thing you will see,
especially among those who have this spiritual orientation.
They transcend the limitations of the school. This is because of
their awareness of the spirit of, of Islam. So they know that all of
these interpretations, you know, it can be it's all you know,
branches from the tree, the main the big tree of Islam, and one of
them said, we'll call lumen Rasul Allah, him octopus, every one of
them have been lighting from that, you know, from that source of
light, they have this torch, which is charged with that the source of
light of the Prophet holder, the knowledge of the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam. So, this is true of those
more of those who have been, they have mastered also not just
physical, but also the sciences known as Sciences of the soul, the
cold bath in a monumental claim refers to just a cold bath and
their effect called liar flicker of the knowledge of the external
laws of religion and knowledge of the spiritual states and this is
called Barton jurisprudence of the soul.
So, he was like that and then
I already mentioned this, a Sufism today is has become so fluid.
Anybody can say that I'm a Sufi now, when people just start
wearing this strange cloth, green turban and this and that and tail
with the this
what is that call turban with the tail and appearing very, very
strange. He is looking for that. People to look up to him and cases
and cases feet. You know, this is something that
Abdulkadir Gilani and others really will shunned they were
against that, because the real spirituality is you should just
forget about yourself. You should. this ego business is the biggest
obstacle in the path of purification. So you have to be
lost in the crowd. Meaning you are one of people.
You are alone with Allah subhanaw taala nobody knows what
What's going on you're conversing with Allah rasool Allah says Allah
Islam was like that people will come to Medina, who were is
Muhammad
Sallallahu they will, they will not distinguish him by by the way,
he sitting all the way he is very he doesn't know. Sometimes you
walk in front of the cupboard and sometimes in the middle, some guy
behind, he doesn't occupy a prominent position. But you see,
now what happens, you know all these conferences, you have the
bring somebody from Yemen or somewhere, he is say that he is
the descendant of the Prophet so people line up to kiss his hand
and feet and prostrate to him now they will love whatever, this is
not the so they give a bad name for this Islamic spirituality. But
this is an IRA but because of that, even the reformers in Islam
with good intention, they attack criticism of the Torah so Wolf is
like that. No, that is not true. The Sabbath, genuine test of
practice by the scholars and sages of Islam, it affirms the harmony
of you know, because Islam looks at human being
as he is human being is a body is a mind is a soul. So all the three
has to be integrated and harmonized Islam doesn't dismiss
body
killing of body suppressing the physical thing in order to salvage
the spirit, you know, it has to be all integrated. And so phase is
just one aspect. Of course the other other aspects.
It is so
okay, I already mentioned that in Indian Pakistan Stafford Allah He
is calavo slalom, the biggest soccer instead of carrying a luxe
one with the refuge and, and source of protection stuff Rula
the
year Abdulkadir jewelry I said even my mother stuff Lulu was you
know when she is in a difficult situation, she would call out for
the name of Abdulkadir jewelry and you know, after I was sent to the
Islamic education and I used to come back and I would hear my
mother saying that I would tell her this hysteric Of course you
are what you know you're a baby. You're my baby.
You know the moolah knows better. So stop for Allah.
But this is Abdulkadir Gilani, you cannot blame up Ricardo Gilani for
that this is what the enemies of Islam did to to poison the sources
so that this religion is corrupted.
Okay, he has left behind that treasure house of wisdom,
spanning dozens of works, but I think I already mentioned this, I
don't want to and Sheikh Abdul Qadir jeelani A sense of spiritual
wisdom. These are because there is a wasp, you know, literature
he has left behind or reported from him by his own disciples. And
he had a dozen of his children became very, very great scholars,
and teachers and mentors, upholding the legacy and
transmitting the knowledge. And this is a big contribution of this
color that you not only successfully trained hundreds or
even 1000s of people influencing them. I've said more than 5000
Christians and Jews converted to Islam, because of his preaching
because his words would go straight to the heart, because the
words that come from the heart goes, go straight to the heart,
this is what they say. Scholars say that that was the case of his
preaching now, he would draw, you know, 1000s of people,
people of all levels, and he successfully influence the higher,
highest, you know, those who are
with authority, wielding authority and power as well as the lowest
strata of the society. And this is unique about him.
Now
you know, I thought of taking some of those exemplary saints of
I skimmed the history literature and and found that this
standpoints actually the
Some sub the essential spiritual message of AbdulQadir jewellery,
Rahmatullah Alayhi. Of course, when we remember this kind of
sages and scholars, the scholars have already told us, you know,
it's it's, it will cause the descent of the Divine Mercy, there
is a spiritual
factor because when we allow good people, you know, that may incline
us to become too good. You know, you are Mr. Obama Hubei a person
joins the company of those who love you know, this is a statement
that wrestler Slauson made, actually this statement. And so
Marechal alone said,
combating the prophets that allowed us to learn more mentored
by him for 10 years. He said, You know, there were two occasions
that Sahaba were really, really were ecstatic, most joyous. The
first one was when they endured Islam and the prophets allowed
Islam and third Medina, especially the answer, and of course,
everybody entering Islam. That's the greatest moment for me, it was
the greatest moment for them. And secondly, one day I heard the
Prophet make the statement because somebody came to Rasulillah as one
of the Cambodia said, Yara surah Allah, you know, I,
I cannot, you know, I enjoy your companionship.
And, you know, I have to live I have to work for my living and
things like that. And you know, I'm really even out when I'm out
of your motherless. I'm anxious to get back. Now, if this is my
condition in this world, I want to enjoy your companionship in the
next world as well. Is there any way for me?
The prophets of Allah Allah Salam, ask him, What did you
want? What provision you have prepared for it?
To enjoy my companionship in the next world. So Luca Mora for Cata
Phil Jana, I want your companionship in Jana as well.
My other are the Terra so the man said mother to her because this
Yama no salata, Nosaka, I did not prepare for it were too many
prayers, and too many good works. But of course he prays a fast
but not too much supererogatory acts of worship.
But I am sure I love Allah and His message.
That much I am sure of myself. I have this intense love for Allah
and His messenger. So the Prophet said our motto, Muhammad Rahim
Grandma, you know,
a person will join the company of his beloved. So if Allah this
messenger, direct dearest to your heart, surely you will enjoy the
companionship enjoy the companionship of of the messengers
of Allah subhanaw taala. Of course, Marlena naantali him and
Allahu alayhi Mina nabina was so they Tina was shahada, he was
Salli wa Shinola, Karateka. You know, whoever obeys Allah, this
messenger, they are going to
join the company or for Narrabeen profits, not just profit mama
profits
was today. Kena was Shahada. It was solid hail. And, you know, the
cleaner the sanely ones? Of course, you know, we have to make
a distinction between the concept of St. St. Who didn't Christianity
and Islam, you know, that's not the kind of saints we have.
Because it's a different.
Okay, so but but it's true in among the sensitive by saying, You
mean a man of God? Yes. A woman of God. Yes. So the cleaner was
Shahada. He was solid ahead. And the Martinez and the good people,
the righteous ones, was to know like Africa, they are the best
company to join, you know, so, of course, you know, remember the
last verse of the Prophet were referred Malala. You know, I'm
just joining the company,
the best company actually. So
that's what will happen when you We cherish that allow for
Rasulullah love for this. I will do Allah, the friends of Allah
subhanaw taala the great words of Islam, who will call people to
Allah subhanaw taala you know, we would
So
10 points you mentioned a spiritual seeker must never swear
by God. Seriously, we're just tingly. Consciously we're
unconscious. You know, we are not supposed to take the name of God
in vain.
And for Abdulkadir Gilani, he understood this concept
Latvija Hola Hola. Hola. Talia in Monaco Hora Latin, don't make a
target for your oath. Of course, he is making a deeper
interpretation. You know, tafsir has many levels. So a spiritually
illuminated person, he looks at it not just a literal sense, but also
don't take the name of God anyway.
Because who is Allah
he's not somebody you can drag his name. Correct that visualize. So
once you have a version, this practice altogether of swearing,
you know, using the name of Allah for your oath, what happens he
will go up, give up swearing altogether and Allah will open
your heart to the lights of his wisdom. Of course. This is a very
important concept. Of course, it's very, very hard to practice it
because some people have been conditioned Walla Walla Walla, how
many times they say well, Law
number two Shan line altogether seriously, we're just tingly.
This is a lie. Because what is the the most important trait
that Islam considers as the the hallmark of a Sadiq
there is to say, you will remember I shall allow now.
She was a master teacher, a mentor of teachers, mentor of scholars.
So Masaru who one of our students of course, he is a student of
Abdullah masuleh We learned a great companion of the Prophet
salallahu Salam and he was a student of ocean Alana. And when
narrative remotion Ilona he would say preface his statement had this
Atlantis Siddiqa been to study to see
so DECA told me so the comments were truthful.
The daughter of the truthful you see how what an honor for Aisha
Ilona to be called a sadhika and her father is a Sadiq the truthful
one. And Rasul Allah is us Father.
He earned the title Oh, Assad it unanimous recognition by the
Mushrikeen before he became a nonprofit, Assad epolamine.
So say that the prophets of Allah Islam is so many traditions on a
combi Sudak he said I could be so duck, you know, be steadfast
in truthfulness, let it be a second nature with your
truthfulness. You know, because when we're lawyers are already
true as Lakota October in the lives of the
five fineness silica Yahudi Jana, if you are consistently truthful,
it will lead you guide you guide your way to Jannah.
And a person consistently truthful, his name will be
registered, you know under will the truthful word in the register
of Allah.
On the other hand, lying in the opposite.
Lying will lead to sins of our clients because you need to cover
up you need to cover up you need to cover up and continuously and
then corruption of the soul. And you know what happened? You
October in the like adverb. Your name is in the register of Allah
kebab, liar.
You know, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said about the moral
decline in humanity.
You know,
sin in habla art, you're going to be, you know, facing a period of,
you know, years years. He said not just one year three years of
deception and falsehood. Show that
a liar will be believed, and a truthful one will be disbelieved.
And Amara truthfulness, integrity will disappear altogether. So much
so that every leader everybody's so caught up, and people would be
hard pressed to pry into one place
person who is truthful and they will say somewhere there there is
a truthful person a person of integrity.
So, they have to search
deeply for him
we are living in these days you know now last one Otara So, that's
why you know he is preaching against it because he saw a
corruption of the rulers character of the rich you know people and
when the leaders become corrupt, you know, they influence you know,
they have the saying about various kings of the OMA yards
that so so ruling so people will say how many wives you have,
because this man is after womanizing, you know, another ism
to building palaces and what kind of a house you have built.
And when the time of Omar Abdulaziz came, people are asking,
you know, what kind of how much charity you gave how much good
deeds you do. So the leader
is a reflection of the people they influence. So people's thinking
the mindset and things like that, imagine what he said about
scattering, you know, extra money in the treasuries that use it, you
know, the charity money, so scattered on the mountaintops, so
that no bird stars in the Muslim country. See, this is the kind of
30 years
you know, whatever you are, and that will be reflected in the
people the ruler, so the said purity of the heart, you know,
Circleville this is something all the spiritual teachers in Islam.
That's why because this is the main character trait in Islam of a
leader that has to be truthful.
You know, this is why Rasul Allah when he was ordered to preach a
crime the sufferer and said do you believe me? Do you know me?
They shouted in my voice when you are a Saudi, you are the truthful
how we can disbelieve you. So if I say an army is coming from behind
this mountain,
to attack you to invade you, would you believe me?
They shelter Yes. We cannot doubt you
Abuja Hello Seto rasool Allah. Muhammad I don't you know I'm not
against your preaching. Because I miss trust you you have the
truthful but I cannot stand your message.
It's not because you are a liar. You're the truthful. So Philips
won't reveal numbers are not attacking you they are attacking
the message. They cannot find the fro in your character. Because see
how what a wonderful thing it is. So you see how this Abdul Qadir
jeelani understood the spirit of this religion, truthfulness.
Number three,
be faithful to one's promises and strive to cut out the habit of
promising altogether. Do you know when you promise sometimes you may
not be able to deliver it.
So because you're a human being, so tonight's talk, promise people
try to do what you can but don't promise. But if you promise you
have to be faithful to it. And that's why Rasulullah sallallahu
sallam said I told my traffic sir last hypocrite. There are three
signs that mark a hypocrite, singling him out either had the
soccer team when he speaks he lies way the word as well. So you see,
Gilani is following the teaching of Rasulullah sallallahu.
When he promises he breaks it
and of course when he is an argument what what does he do?
Because names
Okay, refrain from cursing or harming anyone or any creature big
or small. Don't curse. Unfortunately today.
I don't know whether still continuing the is to curse from
the Manabi. I want to point out, I heard it so many times. Hello
Milan, in Kunal, calling, invoking the curse of Allah, on everybody
except, you know, stuff for Allah stuff for Allah. Even though Allah
subhanaw taala has to intervene when Rasulullah sallallahu and
curse those persecutors of Muslims are really inflicted good torture
and kill them you know, LinkedIn them to death. Allah rasool Allah
holsters. You know how to offer prayer cursing Allah
Hopefully,
but now we take it upon ourselves, you know this habit and what
happens is then all of these sermons are immediately translated
and this there are this kind of think tanks in America who Zionist
think tank, you know, they just, look this is their, their
preaching is all of us. They are cursing us. So you see,
but is that the message of Islam
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam therefore was trained by Allah and
then later on when the Sahaba asked him to curse the machete
cane, he said Mambo is to learn in numbers to Ramadan. I am not
saying to curse humanity. Anyone, I have been sin as a mercy.
So
it just cursing human beings.
Rasulullah sallallahu, Roma's heard a woman during one of his
journeys, I think it was
in pilgrimage or
this woman cursed the the mount the camera, she was writing the
Prophet order to dismount and leave that camera alone You have
no right to write that. And nobody would touch that camera do
you see? So this is the sensitivity of cursing, you know
how Rasulullah sallallahu so he is it, you know, as a spiritual
master is taking it all.
Just don't curse anyone,
anyone, even a person who has hurt you don't curse.
This will be mine. In this way. You will develop the trait of the
right yes, saving. It will save a person from perdition it would
also instill in his heart mercy for all of God's creation. So
because Rasul Allah is sent as a mercy, not to curse. But what is
our image of Islam today and Muslims? Isn't it?
Okay, must never pray against anyone.
Even if he were to hurt or offend him rather one ought to repel the
bad with good.
What are testable? Hassan Atolla? Say? Yeah, in the far ability
here, you see, this is the stage of ASR. That's why Imam Shaolin
law said in Islam, we have the law of Moses, as well as the way of
Jesus, the law of Moses is the law actually,
i for i,
that is known the way of the righteous ones. That is not the
way of sanely ones, because stage of a sign is you forgive?
You have a right to take justice, yes.
But a person who is of a higher spiritual than what's the ideal in
Islam.
But
where there is no justice.
You know, justice or mercy has to be together in the law to Maroubra
deliver less. So that's why in Islam, there is justice. And there
is also this mercy. So we are or as to aspire to rise higher. You
know, the marriages will you know, when you look at the marriage
situation,
in the community today, because people it's me, me, me, me.
It's me, the husband says, It's me. Wife says, It's me,
isn't it? It's me, me, me. And of course, this is the way we haven't
brought up individualism. And the whole culture is individualism
actually. And that's not what Islam trains us, we have to be
forgiving. We have to be generous, we have to our heart should be
open, to accept everybody.
You love for other, the other what you love for yourself, don't do 21
If what you wouldn't like him to do to you, this is the higher
stage of a facade.
So don't pray against anyone, rather one word to repel the bad
with good, do good unto others.
And of course this his rank will be raised in the sight of Allah
will also earn the love of his creation.
Not to ascribe share Cofer or the fact to any Muslim. Today we
easiest weapon we use it. Somebody who differ is a mushrik is a
manava clay is a fossil. We make judgment
we judge others easily, but we don't
sit to judge ourselves. You know,
this is closest to the trait of mercy when you stop this habit
altogether. Because we have to find excuses for you know how to
learn. If you can find excuses for your brother, you know, do that,
you know don't because self right otherwise we will think that I am
good
and that everybody else is bad.
How often you see people coming to you, because some people think
that okay,
because you eat this meat which is slaughtered by the machine.
So they don't eat from you. Because you see you're eating
haram. Somebody came to visit, you know, he, he cuts he has a sharp
we curse with his hand and says show me Iran.
What you mean?
Show me your hand please.
What do you mean? I said, you said you are slaughtered with your
hand.
Your hand is not sharpened up to slaughter anything actually. She
mean, you're using a knife. So the other guy's using the machine. If
both of them are are they're sharp instruments they cut the artery so
BloodRayne So, there is not much difference between the two. So
machines locked or hand slaughter as long as it fulfill the
conditions. You cannot call it haram. You can say I differ, but
you don't say you know this is what we learn from Abu Hanifa Imam
Malik Imam Shafi and others. They never eradicated each other, they
differ.
Abu Hanifa differ from Malik but he prayed behind the Imams of
Medina. And Malik when he was in Morocco, he would pray behind the
Imams who differ. The same image Imam Shafi Imam Shafi prayed near
the grave of Abu Hanifa he did not recite Knuth
when Fudger you see, so they respected the differences
they respected. And of course, they hear you will be really
shocked when what Imam Shafi said about, you know, citing some of
the views, I don't want to cite it now, it will take us away, but you
will be amazed at the the tolerance he had of even though he
did not like those rulings, but he respected he did not, that did not
embolden him, you know to so they were open.
So don't call people these names kafir mafia, forsaken this and
that, you know, and also turn once gaze away from our sills and keep
one's limbs and faculty secure from them in your facilities,
preoccupation with good works. Of course, I have used a his it's
applies equally to male and female, as simply translate
literally, but he has this. They don't have any kind of distinction
between male and female in any of this. You know, because Islam,
you know, treats men and women equally when it comes to
spiritual, especially in spiritual matters.
stop relying on mortals in regards to anything big or small. This
teacher is relying on the creator and dignity that's empowering him
to stand up for truth and justice.
Don't rely on human or any creatures.
You know, Rasulullah Salallahu Salam this was the mentoring of
the Prophet tubas and others. You know, for the Law, God Allah,
Allah will God you, you know depend on Allah. If you ask us
from Allah, you know, so this self reliance, the prophets of Allah,
Islam taught, you know, this is a freedom in Islam, the ultimate
freedom that you don't depend. Of course, this doesn't mean don't
take it to the other extreme that we stop for Allah, the denying the
secondary stuff for Allah. This Abdulkadir Jelani was such a great
Imam, he said no, soon you, this doesn't mean you deny the courses,
because Allah has, you know, fire burns. Yes, but you cannot say
fire doesn't burn, fire burns with the will of Allah. So Allah has
appointed causes, you have to use them that the sooner that you
know, fight the decree of Allah with his decree, you see, so Allah
has prescribed for us this that we have to we have to
For the seed, we have to prepare the ground. We don't just throw
that seed and say Allah will make it grow, we have to water it,
fertilize it, you know on us do portrait
of this is not negating that, but ultimate dependence will be on
Allah subhanaw taala never look favor of borders, this entails
richness of the heart and contentment. You know, you see
how, what a wonderful, all of these are the from the teaching of
Rasulullah sallallahu Islam,
practice humility to will raise his round with Allah, you know,
humility. Humility is, is one of the greatest hallmark of
Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam.
It is the essence of our spiritual traits of the cardinal Jelani said
what is that call? And actually, I shall alone ha. You know, as the
prophet died, the new generation came, who did not was not trained
by Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, and she looked at them and said, you
know, what, you people are lacking the most important aspect of
worship.
What is that humility.
The Sahaba mark on how to be among people and people for their
humility, Rasul Allah was Mokra route for humility. So, look at
the SR Shala. For her. The essence of worship is humility.
That's the greatest essence of worship she said the same year
look, practice humility
Okay, words of wisdom. Okay.
Of course his his words of wisdom as a treasure house actually fly
to Allah using the twin wings of the Quran and the Prophet sunnah.
But that's not what the courteous Sufis teach, actually, you know,
follow your shape.
That's not what Abdulkadir Jelena fly to Allah. But of course, the
book of Allah you have to, you know,
the depth has to be taught, you know, you have to have that
training in the correct training
is not you cannot interpret this, by your whimsical opinions and
ego. Take out this world from your heart and place it in your hand,
you will never lose. What does it mean?
We have to have vold Allah, we have to have wealth. He's talking
about wealth now. Let it be in your hand. He is not teaching that
we don't even wealth. Yes, possess it. But don't let it process your
heart.
You use your SIR, you should not serve wealth. Wealth should serve
you.
That's what he's teaching. You see? Correct spirituality in
Islam. Correct. Spirituality is not you run away from the world.
You leave the world altogether. And then you know, make your
children's star you know, earn.
But don't
Vertie be obsessed. And what else?
Euro and he's saying that let there be security guards at the
doors of your heart.
You have to post these guards to guard your treasure, you know that
your heart is a treasure, the biggest treasure even being a
spiritual heart. So you have to guard it.
You're and don't let any any thought or any of the thing that
will corrupt the heart.
Because shaytan will Ender through these gates. Imam Ghazali said
that that actually when was the least taken has taken the wisdom
from Him. And of course this wisdom comes from Rasul Allah
Islam is that they are expounding that. So you know shaytan want to
get to your heart. So close this gates.
Gate is I
tongue are of these are gates that shaitan uses to get your heart so
broke it broke the entrance says
10 God speak God at God. So that's
and don't let anything that Allah doesn't want you to let in into
your heart and take out the tea.
Things that Allah does have one what Allah wants you to take out
do not hurt anyone even if it by thinking ill of him
Don't hurt anyone
because what is the worst thing in Islam? according to Quran
Lulu
injustice don't commit injustice, though wrongdoing
any kind of wrongdoing doesn't mean physical only
harm hurting people, injuring their attacking their character
undermining them, you know, harming them in any way. You know
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said we'll law healer human will Loyola
human by Allah, He cannot be a believer he cannot be believer,
man liar Manu gyro boy call if his neighbor is not safe from him
is hurtful by his words
by his actions.
So, we cannot even hurt to interfere with the habitat of the
creator of animals.
You know, in fact, they have rulings that when you build a
wall, a city wall, you should not be interfering with the the flight
of the you know, passage of this animals.
You know they have to now we have broken their passages encroaching
upon their Rasul Allah Islam is to tell the Sahaba who are going to
the battle, get away from the habitat don't encroach, because
this distant we have to share the earth, these resources with them.
When Tabo was passing by a pond in the desert. Somebody asked the
wild beasts good drink from it. Don't ask, we are supposed to
share with them.
You understand? Don't even ask this question.
Susie, how Islamic understanding is
so this is what
don't hurt.
Do good to everyone whether he deserves it or not, you will be
rewarded by Allah. When you hurt injustice, Allah does not tolerate
injustice of any kind. And they say, on the other hand, we are
supposed to do good. Whether this person deserves it or not. Try to
be an instrument of God. That's why Rasulullah sallallahu Koroma
14 A little higher, serve as keys to goodness in the world.
Serve as keys. You know, Prophet said,
you have only as a human being only one of two choice. Serve as
keys to good.
If you don't do that you are serving as key to evil. Kono

looks to corruption in the world. So making a difference
in the world for God. You know that's so that's what whether it
is.
You see what a beautiful he already imbibed this the prophet
the whole thing is from Rasulullah Salallahu Salam, but you know,
many of our orlimar don't see this aspect of the of the Sunnah of the
Prophet Allah. You see function in this world like a honey bee.
This is from where
is her mother, a woman a Catherine Allah, a believer is like a honey
bee. You see what Rasulullah saying about honey bee. It eats
only that which is pure and produces only that which is pure.
And you see how it interacts with the creation of Allah. It falls on
a very, very sad in one reporter say it falls on a very weak branch
ready to Kumble and yet it doesn't break it. So is that? Yeah, it's
not easy. Words of advice I'm saying now, but he took this point
from the Hadith Yes, paraphrasing. He is paraphrasing them. But the
prophet said it even it falls even on a very weak branch which is
already rotten. But yet because it falls so gently that it doesn't
crush it it isn't in
it leaves it in that actually
what a beautiful example it is. Now the look at the cows
Look at the confusion, look at the disruption that we have caused.
You know, so
a true believer is not the one who resigns to the fate. Look, we many
people think Islam is fatalistic look at the spiritual master said,
a true believer is not the one who resigns to the fate he said he
repairs one decree of God with another because God has created
all of this world and you know everything is dependent on the
other. So you have to make use of the means and methods God has
appointed
isn't it? We are supposed to be the is to Mr. Do is TMR on the
earth is tomorrow, we will just civilization build,
Rose, plant and things like that. So that's why he's saying it take
medication is repelling one decree of Allah with the other
because Allah sundowner disease, Allah has sent down the medicine.
So both are decrees of Allah, isn't it? So repair one decree
with the Allah
I have examined good deeds and yet could not find anything superior
to feeding the integrand
you see how actually this is also from the Hadith of the Prophet
feeding the poor
you know in the Bakken surah Allah subhanaw taala Did you see the one
who rejects the faith
he is the one who is neglectful of prayer and does not exhort feeding
of the poor
so worship and feeding the poor connected in Islam. Never waste
your time on three things.
Crying over the past can we bring back the past
past his pod you cannot retrieve it it will never return and don't
compare yourself with others
you know don't cover it. You know when Allah has favored someone
with something don't
turn compare yourself but of course in good things we have to
excel try to Excel but it's not us comparing yourself trying to
please everyone also don't try to please everyone.
You see how this people have learned the this mysteries you
know the the real diseases of the heart and they are trying to teach
us how to deal with that
in memory now, the you know this is I already said that Sheikh
Abdul Qadir Jilani was revered by everyone actually, Sophie is a non
Sufis alike.
Even a Tamia who is known as a critic of many, many, many orders.
But many people misunderstand him he never condemned the some of
actually, he made a distinction between genuine tasawwuf pseudo us
tasawwuf
he said about Abdulkadir will Jelani that he was one of the
greatest of spiritual masters of his time, when her strictly to the
standards of Sharia, surpassing others in shunning ego and self
will. Okay, so, of course, that's a great, you know, recognition how
he regards he would call him che Hoonah.
Our our master
you know, it said they found a, a document.
You know, George Makdessi, found a document
establishing his lineage to the Korea Sufi order, actually, I'm
not here to discuss, but I wouldn't,
I definitely have read his works and fatwas, he has really approved
a, he has
considered the salvo for his heart of Islam, but he fought against
the innovations practice in the name of the soul. Imam now we said
we have never heard of anyone of the past, who surpass Abdulkadir
in his spiritual graces and Karishma. He was the master of
Shafia number of scholars of his time in Baghdad, and countless
people benefited spiritually from him. And as he earned the
unanimous approval and acceptance from our
mum, Norway, is one of the greatest scholars of the Shafi
school. And also he was a moral conscience of the own mind this
time, of course, remember because now we very, very short life but
he left behind a library of books including the 40 Hadith which is
in the hands of everybody
solid
and real solid in which is again a moral and spiritual resource based
on Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Salam
the hubby shake up the recovery is the share the Imam, the spiritual
Monday shareholders love flagbearer of the saints
this kind of testimony from the hobby, nobody will get it unless
because they have been a critic of Hadees and critic, you know, it's
a critical scholar. So if he has bestowed this title on him thus.
Now
lastly, the second person I'm going to deal is Sultan Rama is
the director of the salam
exudate Ahmed Abdul Salam said about Abdulhadi Gilani
the keramat or miracles if you want to use that Kurama attribute
to to Abdulkadir Gilani have been transmitted
through on so many uninterrupted channels of transmission. It's
nobody can deny them. But of course, there are many first
things attributed as well. But the Kurama of that we can really
attest to are those related to the for rasa, this spiritual intuition
of Abdulkadir Gilani, because last born with Allah gave him the
ability to see through this because his heart was a soul pure
with purified his heart and Paget. So he had this insight Allah gave
him this gift of judging people are doing the they're worth the
spiritual worth. So there are so many statement to that effect.
