Nevertheless, coming back to that incident, Imam Isma Iraq, Mullah
was very interested in what is the meaning of these words, how to
find out the correct meaning of the words of Quran. They didn't
sit with the dictionary.
Like nowadays, we have groups forming groups,
what they are going to study the Quran or commentate on the Quran
with absolutely no background or no understanding of deen or
Sharia. You want to commentate on the Quran,
it was his understanding that in order to gain the true meanings of
the words of the Quran, he would go to the Bedouins, those who used
to live in the desert
and listen
how this particular word in normal conversation is used
in the normal day to day occurrence when this particular
word will be used in Conversation,
the manner or the context in which they use it from that we can gain
the correct understanding.
So what Imam Isma irahima Allah does. He goes and lives amongst
the bed ones becomes one of them, waiting, when will they use these
words in normal conversation? Six months pass.
Imagine the extent of sacrifice that was given for the olum of
Quran. Six months pass like this. One day, while the camp is having
terula siesta,
one elderly woman had cleaned her pot,
the rag, which she used, will be filthy, will be blackened. She
leaves the rag on one side,
a stray dog comes from the mountain, starts sniffing around
the camp while people are sleeping.
Someone becomes away, starts screaming. The dog has come.
Perhaps it will steal something. The dog in its panic, grabs hole
of the clot, which he had used to clean the pot, and starts running
towards the mountain. This woman Shouts out to inform the people of
the camp what the fuss is about. She says, jar Rakim akhadal, mata
wataal al Jabal,
all three words that Imam Isma irahi Mullah was waiting for when
in normal conversation, it will be used six months of waiting, there
is no limit to his joy when he hears the sentence of this woman.
She says, jar Rakim, the dog has come. Akhadal, Mata. It took Mata
and it climbed or ran towards the mountains, he understood the
meaning of all three words in this one sentence pertinent to what we
were discussing, Allah has enumerated every branch of worldly
wealth, everything that the heart of Insan is, why is to and Allah
has placed one label on everything, dalika, matawal,
hayati, dunya, all this is Mata of the life of this world. What is
Mata? According to this woman, according to Imam Isma irahim
Allah, in the correct context, Mata, that filthy, dirty rag that
is used to clean the pots is Mata.
Allah, says, the combined wealth of this world, if it takes you
away from ALLAH, if it becomes an obstacle to your akirat. It has no
value whatsoever. It is Mata Chor
Dene, Wali Jahai, this world is such. It has to be left behind.
Nothing is going to come with us. Harun Rashid was a Khalifa. He was
ruling three continents, three continents, if you
want to understand it geographically, Baghdad to
Kashmir, Baghdad to Istanbul, Baghdad to Senegal, Baghdad to
Southern France. One ruler.
One day he sees a rain cloud. He says, um Turi, hey. Sushit was a
ujiba, ILA, Yahara, Juki, rain. Wherever you want, your reign will
still be in the kingdom of Harun, such a kingdom
barely 48 years of age, barely 48 years of age.
Prime of his life.
He is an area called Mashhad in Iran,
and he realizes that his death is imminent. He becomes ill.
Physicians inform him you are not going to survive this illness.
Anush orders for his cupboard to be dug, sits at the side of the
grave, picks up the sand, lets it run through his finger, fingers.
Ma ajna, anni Malia, halaka, anni, sultania, ma Agna, anni Malia,
halakanni, sultania, all my wealth is of absolutely no use to me
whatsoever. Halakhani, sultania, my sulkant, my kingdom, my armies,
have absolutely no avail to me whatsoever. The ruler of the.
Continents of the world, and this is his reaction when moth is
staring him in the face.
What reality is there of this world?
What good is that * which is followed by sickness? What good is
that wealth, the loss of which is feared? What good is that youth,
which is followed by old age, that youngster stands in front of the
mirror. He's got his Ray Bans on he's got the gold necklace around
his neck.
He's got the bangles on his hand. He's admiring himself from this
side, from that side,
I am the one.
The young girl
had the bloom of her cheeks were compared to the bloom of roses.
The twinkling of her eyes were compared to the twinkling of
stars. She thinks that she is the Zulekha of the time, admiring
herself, preening herself in front of that mirror. Why don't we
realize that it is just a few moons,
just a few years will pass. How are you going to delay the onset
of old age? What cosmetic Are you going to use? What plastic surgery
are you going to use? What buttocks treatment and whatever
treatment are you what implants are you going to use? How many
dollars are you going to spend to delay the onset of the ravages of
time,
that same young girl,
that blooming cheek, will it not become the food of insects
tomorrow in the cover
those eye sockets will not insects walk through those eye sockets.
Why don't we wake ourselves up to the reality of this? Dunya, don't
look at the rising sun. Look at the setting sun. Don't go to the
places of revelry and haram. Go to the homes of where the Janaza is
being lifted up. Hear the cry of the elderly father who had such
hopes and aspirations for his young child today, that same
Father is lifting the Janaza of that same youngster.
Go to the Home of that widow who is crying over the loss of her
husband,
then we will understand what the reality of the life of this world
is.
Allah says woman Noam, miruhona, Kisu Phil afala taqilun, those
whom we take to an oath to old age, we bring about a reverse in
the creation afala Taqi lun Why don't you understand
this entire humanity relentlessly The clock is ticking.
Unfortunately, we get so caught up. We get so caught up in the
glitter and glamor and attraction of this world
that this dunya appears to be the goal. It appears to be the object.
It becomes everything,
like the poet says, In lanafrabil Ayami naktawha in lanafrakhubil
ayamin, aptawhakul laomi, Madha, yudiny, Minal, ajali, faam,
linafsika, Kabal, Moti mujita, hidden Fain. Insan,
the
movement of time is something you are celebrating.
New Year has come.
Birthday has come.
The hallmarks by which the passage of the movement of time is
measured today has become a source of celebration to us, Little do we
realize? Kula yomimaga, yudinimal ajali, every passing day is taking
us closer to our cover.
Every passing day is taking us closer to that reality
family of sikatlal Moti, much the hidden. So exert yourself.
Exert yourself. Aspire with one another, outdo one another.
Apply yourself in this dunya for what
not to outdo the next person in what car you are driving, or to
outdo the next person in how many shops you got, or to outdo the
next person in how big the bank balance is.
Farmalina, exert yourself, apply yourself in acquiring profit, in
advancing yourself. What is the prophet fain nama ribhual Amali,
because loss and gain is not in wealth is not tangible. Loss and
gain is is in Amal.
The currency of akhirat is Amal. The currency of accurate is not
the wealth of this world.
It is said the greatest, the greatest conqueror in the annals
of human history was Ganges Khan.
The second greatest conqueror in the annals of human history was
Mahmoud raznavi.
Years and years.
Years of conquest,
and finally, he decides to build a palatial home, which is a hallmark
or a testimony of what he has achieved.
He erects this huge palace.
And once it is ready, he invites his father, subukdin Rahmatullahi,
a pious person, come and see, see what I have achieved years and
years, of what statement I am leaving behind. Look at my legacy.
We hear these terms.
He takes him room to room, shows him artifact upon artifact,
priceless heirlooms, what he has amassed over the years.
What was he expecting his father to praise Him. Masha Allah, my
son, you achieved this. You achieved that.
But contrary to his expectations, contrary to his expectation, his
father remains silent.
Not only does he remain silent, he is unaffected,
unaffected, totally unperturbed.
Finally,
this was a warrior. His whole life was spent fighting wars. He was
not a person of a moderate temperament. When things were not
are not going his way, he is likely to become angry. So the
rage is burning inside. The Fury is building up. This man is not
reacting. My whole life, my whole life, everything I achieved, and
today, presenting in front of him. And there is no reaction.
Finally, he couldn't contain himself anymore. It was his
father. He couldn't do anything to his father, so, but he had to
express his rage. So what he does, he picks his ax up
and a mighty blow, he strikes on one of the heirlooms, as a result
of which it splinters into 1000 pieces.
When he does this, then his father turns to him and smiles and says,
Oh, my son, you have spent your entire life making effort on that
which cannot withstand the blow of one ax. Allah has not sent us to
make effort on sand. Allah has not sent us to make effort on sand. In
San's purpose, in San's object in this world, has nothing to do with
the tangible things of the world in front of us. Allah begins his
Kalam. Allah begins his Kitab, Alif, Lam, Meem, Dali, Kal Kitab,
la rebafi. This is the book in it is no doubt, hudal, Lil Mutta
teen. It is Hidayat. It is guidance for those with tapwa.
Where does Taqwa start from? Where does Hidayat start from? Where
does Iman start from? Al ladeena, minoona, bilhai,
those who will believe in the unseen,
those who will take the sword of law,
the sword of negation, and apply it to everything that is there
around them, whether it is the rivers, whether it is the streams,
whether it is the oceans, the multitudes of creations that are
contained in the oceans. It is said, One cubic centimeter of
water of the oceans contains more living organisms than all the
human beings on the surface of the Earth, 6 billion living organisms.
Allah is kept in one cubic centimeter of water of the oceans,
whether it is that, whether it is the rivers, whether it is the
trees, whether it is the streams, whether it is the animals, whether
it is the insects, whether it is the birds, whether it is in sun
moving upwards, whether it is whether it is the sky, whether it
is the comets, whether it is the asteroids,
just this solar system in which we are living, in the center, which
is the sun,
it is said the Sun is 325,000
times the size of the Earth.
The sun is a collection of gasses every second, every second, 14
billion tons of hydrogen gas is converted into 12 billion tons of
helium gas. This chemical reaction causes energy to be released. How
much energy? Energy equivalent to 500 million atom bombs exploding
at one time every second, flames 100,000 miles long, the sun
surrounded by nine planets, 32 moons, 30,000 asteroids, countless
comets and meteors, all moving in constant motion at indescribable
speeds. This galaxy in which we are living,
it is said the Sun is one star, one star. There are 2 billion
stars in this galaxy. Some of them are millions of times the size of
the Sun.
