We continue
with
the the text of
the, Usid Ahmad Zarruk,
the the foundations or universal principles of
our path.
So he continues. He says,
He said that as far as dealing with
other people on this path,
the universal
principles, meaning what you need to get from
from others
in in traveling this path. The universal principles
or foundations are found in 5 things.
Seeking knowledge in order to,
execute the command properly.
This is a
a a tragedy.
This is a,
debacle.
This is so many calamities
put into one
that
the Ummah, the prophet
there's so few people from them that even
care about the most minimum of things.
And for some reason, people think it's
possible to pray without knowing how to pray,
and it's possible to practice the deen without
knowing what the deen is.
And everybody it's wajib on them not to
become a sheikh or Maulana or do dora
hadith or become you know, get some sort
of title or sanad.
But it's Wajib on them to learn
what is the and the basic that a
person needs to know.
And that differs from time to time and
from place to place
because the questions that some people ask or
have other people don't.
They have to have the basic knowledge of.
They have to have the basic knowledge of,
which is not just the 5 pillars,
but it may include more things than that.
So the person who gets married has to
know the fit of marriage. The person who
works a job has to know the fiqh
of those transactions that that are relevant to
it, their job. People need to know all
of these things. And, that's just to be
a regular regular, you know, just a regular
person to execute the fit properly.
As far as the
is concerned,
that knowledge takes on a different
a different,
significance as well. As far as Akhida is
concerned, that knowledge takes on a different significance
as well.
So a person needs to
needs to know these things and learn these
things.
And if they are
not performing their ibadats properly, they're not
a person who understands how they're supposed to
pray their fajr or how they're supposed to
pray their asr or how they're supposed to
fast
or doesn't even know who to ask, when
something comes up and doesn't have access to
that person or live close to that person
or whatever,
then something very seriously has gone wrong.
So the first is
the and it's something I don't wanna talk
about too much because it seems like sometimes
it's all I talk about,
but it's it's really important.
It's, it's extremely important.
And, also, remember,
if serving other people is
is a way of propelling oneself higher in
the tariq by
you receiving the reward for whatever progress they
make,
then this the service of the the the
proliferation of knowledge is
is like robbing the bank twice.
It's it's it's,
something that a person learns something one time,
and then afterward,
it's used so many times again and again
by that person.
That if you teach a person,
you teach a person how to read the
fataha, and those are things you guys, you
know, you guys don't need to become
great.
You know, if you learn some if you
teach someone to recite the or teach somebody
to recite
that person, how many times will they recite
it during during their entire life?
You'll receive so much reward for it. So
if seeking knowledge is such an important thing,
then the help and the proliferation of the
knowledge is also, is also important, and it's
a great vehicle for progress.
And keeping the company of the and of
the people who are on this path
so that a person can
learn vision.
What is vision? Vision is something completely free.
You guys are all corporate guys, so you
probably have to go to these, like, whatever
vision,
strategic plan meeting type things.
And,
the visions people come up with are utterly
pathetic.
Like, as a Muslim, you're, like, crack chuckling
inside. This is stupid if this is what
your vision is. You people are all, like,
pathetic or probably more accurately sick
that this is what your your goals are
out of out of your existence and out
of your work and whatnot.
The problem is is that there are people
who hang out with those people so much
so much so much that they they imbibe
whatever state that those people have.
And a person is supposed to obviously
earn a living and all of this other
stuff. There's not only nothing wrong with it.
It's also part of the dean. But a
person has to protect themself. Just like if
you're a blacksmith, just the fact that you
work around fire doesn't mean that you should
be coming home burned every day. You need
to protect yourself from
from the, from the evil effects of of
that that trade.
And,
one of the ways to do so is
to keep the the company of the of
the
because the the not meaning the, like, whatever
group that's outlawed in Egypt right now. We're
talking about, we're talking about who the people
who are your brothers on the on the
tariq, the people who keep the same aspiration
and goals that you do,
or the sisters, if it's sisters.
Why? Because
those people will help you to have a
correct vision. When you sit in their mudslist,
the things that seemed important,
at work or the things that seemed important
when you were in, you know, whatever, middle
school or high school or whatever, hanging out
with college goofball buddies or,
or whatever it may be. Those things, all
of a sudden, they become laughable, and a
new set of things become important. It helps
a person to helps a person to
keep correct vision and to keep correct standards
with regards to how they should live their
life, and what's important, what's not important.
And the third is that a person should
leave leave seeking,
leave seeking dispensations
in in in matters
or seek
creative interpretations
regarding matters of deen,
in order to protect oneself,
in order to protect oneself and protect one's
deen. What are dispensations dispensations
is that every single time, you know, someone
says you have to wash your feet. Someone
says you can wipe over your socks. You
wipe over your socks. Somebody says that you
can, you know, you can, you know, whatever.
You have to pray with her, and someone
says you don't then you just skip with
her. And somebody says you you know, you
have to pay, you know, $7 in zakatul
fitr. Another person says you have to pay
$5, so you go $5.
The idea is that there's no,
well,
I guess, to varying degrees, there may, in
certain instances, not be a correct, a right,
or a wrong answer.
But the idea that a person is seeking
out,
an opinion just because it's easier.
Not because one thinks it's correct, but because
it's easier.
That itself is haram, and it's also, like,
poison for a person's deen in terms of
their saluk.
And a person who wishes to preserve their
deen should sometimes take the harder opinion not
because not because of anything else except for
just to, like like, shake the nuffs to,
like, you know, get a cheap shot in
on the nuffs on the way out.
Because,
a person who who does that and
in Filki issues, it's bad enough.
In issues, it's really, really weird. It gets
strange sometimes because there are certain parts of
the din that that the the people we
live around, they don't find palatable.
And
because of
our endearing wish to be friends with everybody
all the time and have everybody love us,
We oftentimes
will
find weird understandings of of Islam.
Somebody came to me and said, oh, sheikh
so and so told me that the the
Nasara, before they die, say, will come to
them and ask them, you know, that I'm
not the son of God. You believe that,
don't you? And then, if they accepted Allah,
I will forgive them for their
shit.
And
I'm
like,
what?
Did you really hear your sheikh say this
with his own 2 lips? No. No. So
and so told me. I'm like, I'm pretty
sure he didn't say that.
People have these weird things that that there
are just certain things about the din that
they feel bad or embarrassed about it, so
they wanna interpret them in different and weird
ways. Or they'll hear something
that, like, you know, some
speaker professional speaker and preacher will say that
sounds really cool,
and it's all, like, very, like, you know,
Islam is about
making sure that the environment is organic
and that, you know, women and children are
always,
floating in the air because air is important
in Islam. Like, they'll say weird things like
that that sound like they should be, like,
really deep and wonderful and whatever,
but it's not the kitab of Allah Ta'ala
and it's not the sunnah of the prophet
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, or they're calling to
something and that it's not
entirely clear how this is connected with the
wahi
of of the Quran or the sunnah of
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Those things,
it's better to better to take a pass
on them. In fact, sometimes those people,
even the weird things that they say, they
may have a basis completely in the kitab,
and so until you understand what that is,
you know, you can just kind of, like,
put that in the suspended category. You can
have a good opinion of other people,
but
not take something as an authority of
authority authoritative in the deen until unless you
see how it's connected to the to the
Wahi. And there are some things like this,
like the Masnavi and Mulana Rumi. It's not
completely
it's not completely obvious
how how certain
are connected to the book of Allah. If
you actually study it, you know, and you
read its commentaries or you sit with and
read it, you'll be like, wow. This is
just like
this is completely
in line with that.
If you haven't seen that or if that
doesn't seem like the case to you, you
can leave it. You can move on. The
Deen the Deen is not the Deen of
the Masnavi. It's that of Allah and His
Rasool Allahu Alaihi Salam.
And the Masnavi Mulan Arumi is something that's
been attested to by generations of Ulama, centuries
that intervene between now and then. Something you
hear at a conference may not be as
as solid. Maybe, but, you know, like I
said, if I'm if if I'm if, you
know, if the,
despite their praise for one thing, say it's
okay to let it go, then the thing
that's inferior,
almost certainly, you don't have to hold on
to it. And this is
this is what what I mean when I
say Islam evangelism. It's not just that I'm
jealous of other people because they have a
bigger following and a bigger crowd. Honestly, I
could give less of a damn.
The and if if I couldn't, then inshallah,
may Allah make me such that I could
give. That's not the thing that upsets me.
The thing that upsets me is what? How
can you stand up and give a ban?
Or how can you write a post from
the beginning to the end? Has nothing to
do with the of of of the Quran
as soon as the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam. You'll see this. There are people who
write feel goody things and they say feel
goody things and tell feel goody stories. It's
not immediately intuitive what what part of the
deen a person is explaining in this. Right?
That's what the word means.
Means to one thing for one thing to
be separate from the other. Means to show
what the differences are between explain things,
in detail.
And so when a person
when a person gets up and says something
that maybe a Christian pastor could have used,
like, you know, said, like, inshallah, take the
out of it, and it could have been
a a sermon in a church. Then even
if the teaching is not bad,
there could be on a human level something
very good in that teaching.
But it that's not the role of the
of
deen to just tell stuff that people should
already know anyway.
Rather,
it should be to either
teach people what they don't know or to
persuade people to,
come onto the path of the prophet
in a more in a more complete and
perfect way.
So a person these types of things, some
people have a predilection for them. That's a
really bad sign. If a person finds themselves
inclining to those things,
then,
know that the that those
those strange interpretations
that, you know, sound wonderful and sound cool,
that's that's harmful for a person in their
in their in their progress on the.
And,
being
being
strict in a person's timing,
in a person's schedule, daily schedule,
in their,
Where the what are the means to
come to to arrive.
So the word is,
the it translates as the litany
of prayers that a person says in the
day, whether it be prayers
or whether it be the recitation of the
Quran or different adkar and things like that.
Whatever weird the person takes, the person should
be very
very
strict in its timings.
It's called the weird why because through it
comes the the help of Allah. It's like
your daily
your daily job that your paycheck, your spiritual
paycheck comes through.
In fact, it's interesting. One of the words
for a job is
and is also a word for for I
mean, it means the same thing as weird,
which is your daily
your
daily,
liquor and and and prayers that you do.
Because
keeping timings properly is,
something that that will
make a person
constantly aware. If you're able to skip your
word by having forgotten it,
then time passes by without your
without your understanding and knowing. And this is
one of the great benefits of saying the
the the salat 5 times a day on
on time
is that it makes you very aware of
the passage of time, what part of the
day is done, what part of the day
is is left,
and,
maybe a person of heedlessness, whether they're Muslim
or not,
days weeks years of their life go by,
and they don't know where it went, and
they don't have anything that they've they've done
for themselves.
Whereas,
once a person starts praying 5 times a
day and wondering when the next prayer time
comes in, it engenders a certain type of
halal kefia, which is presence with Allah,
that that a person should should be aware
of those things.
And this has to do with other things
as well with, you know, with
special reference to when a person wakes up
and when they go to sleep, what do
they do during certain times of the day.
It's good to work hard, but your job
shouldn't ever be allowed to overwhelm
all of your time.
And this is a culture that we have
in America. Americans, in some ways, work harder
than than anyone else in the world. We
do have plenty of lazy people, but that's
part of the human condition. In general, we
take less vacation. We work harder than other
people do. And the people at work
want to make it such that you feel
your future is at work. So they'll put
in a fridge with, like, free Coke or
something stupid like that. And, like, awesome. Like,
I'm gonna stay at work because this Coke
is free or whatever. Whereas that 50¢ you
would have paid for it at the grocery
store is a a small price to pay
for being a human being.
The the idea is that that that you
should have a for your work as well,
and, it shouldn't spill into other things. It
shouldn't spill into your
It shouldn't spill into your family time with
your,
with your with your spouse or with your
parents or with your brothers and sisters.
It shouldn't spill into your time for seeking
knowledge. It shouldn't spill into your time for
making the zikr. It shouldn't spill into your
time for for for whatever things that that
are relevant to the affairs of the Muslims
that you're you do, whether it's meeting other
people, going to the masjids for events, things
like that.
You should make.
And the thing is that if you give
every day, like, from 9 to 5, say,
I'm actually gonna work, you'll get a lot
done. Nobody does anything at work. Everybody's sitting
there checking their Facebook and their Twitter and
chit chatting and spend the whole time walking
to the damn coffee machine and coming back
and this and that. There's really no need
for that. Just do your work while you're
at work. It'll make your paycheck more halal,
and then it gives you time for for
other things. If you're not able to make
davdav or okat, you're not gonna make anything.
You're not gonna make you may get by
at work. You're not gonna get anything in
Tasawwuf at all.
And this is something that,
this is something that that you'll see Hazratanmi
It said that that he used to keep
his schedule so fastidiously
that you had to schedule shaking hands with
him.
Go to the secretary, find open time. He'll
give you the time. You shake hands with
him. You have your, like, whatever, 2 minutes
of of small talk, and that's it. Even
his own when it was time when they
would come to visit for him, he had,
like, an hour that he would write in
the day. And he wrote so many books.
All it was at 1 hour, I'm just
gonna write. And, through the barakah of that
hour, so many books came out and so
many beneficial books.
And many of the, unfortunately, their books are
not
their books. They're just somebody, like, they just
wrote down their bands while they're giving them.
And there's so much barakah in that. When
you write your own book, though, it's completely
a whole another level because you have to
think about what you're gonna write, and you
pick your words very, very, very cautiously, and
you have control over the the way the
final product comes up.
And so there's so much benefit in in
his books because they're written with that higher
level of thoughtfulness,
amongst other things.
And
that
that baraka is not gonna come until you're
able to fix a time for
things. If you're able to fix a time
for things, there's no reason that all of
us shouldn't be the father of the Quran
or all of us shouldn't, you know, do
great things
in our lives, every single one of us.
And the problem is that the potentiality for
that is there in every single human being.
Not everyone can do everything, but everyone can
do something great.
And,
the potentiality is there in every single human
being, and we make choices, like small choices
every day in our life to
not
do that and not be that. And, it's
really it's really sad for all of us.
Allah forgive us for wasting the opportunities. We
haven't given us to take the opportunities that
we missed in the future again.
But
the of persons
walked, go to sleep after Isha.
The best it's good for your health. The
best sleep that a person receives is between
Isha and between midnight.
That that that sleep is restful. There's a
certain
type of rest you'll get from that sleep
that you won't get from any other time.
Just like that, the that a person takes
during the day, you don't just sleep for
3 hours. Even if you take a nap
for half an hour, there's something that the
body gets out of that that they won't
get for the rest of the night. And
if you need more sleep, then there are
that a person could sleep with. Right? But,
you know, don't sleep after Assur. Don't between
and Assur. Don't sleep,
after until the sun rises because those times,
they're they're harmful for a person, for for
for a person in their in their sleep.
And people experience that that you're very sluggish
and groggy. It takes you, like, much longer
to the body to get going again.
Because,
when a person, you know, wakes up,
the body, like, gives a jolt of of
of of different kind of hormones and and
and and things like that to the body
to wake it up. And then once it's
has all that stuff floating around when you're
sleeping, you're not resting because it has all
that stuff floating around. And then when your
body finally cleans all those things out, then
it can't give you the jolt again when
you wake up the second time. You're gonna
be sluggish for for for some time,
both in your body and your mind. The
mind needs to sleep, by the way.
That your brain needs to sleep in order
to to put its house in order as
well. And,
it's
Islam is difficult.
It's even more difficult when you're stupid. So
try to, you know, do all those things
that will save your brain function Inshallah.
And the 5th the 5th point is,
That the 5th the 5th thing is that
a person is their with themselves, that a
person should always accuse
their own nafs in every matter,
so that that person may leave
may may may be safe from Hawa.
What is Hawa? It's your own vain desire.
Your
is something that, like, yeah, I'm hungry, and
so my will do everything it can to
eat. Yeah. I have this desire. It will
do everything it can to face chase the
desire. Hawaii is something different. Hawaii is acting
without, you know, behaving with no point, behaving
pointlessly.
There's so many things that people do every
day that are pointless. Hawaii is different than
nafs because there's no the nafs, at least
you're indulging,
or or or ingratiating some sort of desire
of yours.
The Hawaii, there's no desire you're ingratiating. You're
just doing something for no reason just to
be
stupid. People used to do weird things like
the you know, just like go kill animals
or,
you know, break things or,
you know, act stupid, act silly in a
way that doesn't
garner a person any benefit whatsoever.
This is also part of this is also
part of,
this is also part of a human being
that they have that in
them. The the the the masha'i say that
the enemies of the Saliq are for
they're the nafs and shaitan and the duniya
and Hawa.
And this is what Hawa is. This is
how a person protects themselves from it, which
is what to constantly accuse enoughs in every
matter.
Something wrong happens, something right happens, whatever it
is, you accuse yourself that this is my
fault for for for having chosen this. What
do you mean if something right happens? When
something right happens, there's, like, another chapter of
weird things that can happen. That a person
does something good, they might become
arrogant because of it, or they may take
credit for it even though Allah Ta'ala obviously
set it up for them and made it
easy for them. They may,
you know, use the fact that they're right
to look at someone else as wrong,
and a person should blame the nafs in
every single
accuse the nafs and be suspicious. So the
is
is a accusation,
or or blame
that if a person does something right, so
this is not something that I did myself.
This is something Allah gave me. And if
he didn't make it so easy for me
to do,
you know,
then then I shouldn't think that I would
have done it. And the benefit of it
is is that you a person that brings
them out of the state of doing things
for,
and it
it gives them salama. It gives them protection
from wasting what good that they have and
then making further further mistakes.
So the sheikh continues,
He said that the the calamity of seeking
knowledge was when you know seeking knowledge has
gone wrong,
when you seek it from
young people,
people who are just children.
It doesn't necessarily mean they say Imam Imam
Shafi'i used to teach darsh before he was
balek. So he would teach people, like, during
Ramadan, they would be fasting and he'd be
eating and drinking. That's fine. Those are exceptions.
The person the person
who exhibits some sort of maturity,
that's different. All of those people are very
rare.
And chances are whoever it is, whatever, like,
whoever that kid on YouTube who's, like, giving
ban into the void and accusing everybody of
being weird, whatever. That person is probably not,
like,
level of people.
The the seeking knowledge, the the the calamity
of it is,
keeping
the company of
those who are
very young in age
or who are very raw in their intellect
that their mind doesn't seem to work well,
or in deen, that they may know what
they're talking about, but you see that you,
you know, you never seen the person pray
sunnah in your lifetime or something like that,
or you see the person, you know,
whatever, having a smoke afterward outside. You don't
have to say, oh, this person's evil.
You don't have to make any judgment about
that person.
All, you know, all the point of this
is that you don't don't seek knowledge from
people like that.
Or somebody who talks about stuff, but there's
no
there's no methodology in what they say or
talking. It's not illogical. It's just they're
just giving stories. It's like,
it's
like, yeah. Anyway, I'm not gonna say because
people get upset because because that but some
people, they like telling stories, and they don't
know what the point of the story is.
And it's okay to tell stories every now
and then, but there should be a point
and it should be clear what it is.
The person who doesn't get back to any
point or any methodology or any logic or
reasoning or rationality,
or foundational,
foundational
principle in the talk that they're giving,
those people seeking knowledge from them is is
going to be calamity because you will drink
their confusion into you until it becomes part
of your own state.
And you know that keeping the company of
the
and
the, the
and the brothers in the tariq
is gone wrong,
when a person
they spend their time wasting time.
Correct
is what?
Correct
is,
taking,
learning something, benefiting something, doing some sort of
service.
Waste of time, Sukhba, is what? Oh, Sheikh,
like this literally, this is a thing with
people. This annoys me to no end.
The person won't come to Darce,
they're busy. But they'll invite you to dinner
afterward, or they'll take you to chai afterward,
coffee afterward.
If that was the case, you should just
quit the tarita and like take up time,
full time work as being like
a kitchen, like a cook or
or barista at a at a at a
at a store because that's your entire function
in the deen.
Allah created the best and most elective his
servants to what?
To, like,
learn his ma'arifah and to worship him properly.
Your function is to make chai for those
people or to buy lunch for those people,
which is great. It's better than it's still
a high maqam. But
the first point in the entire book was
what? Or sorry. In the sorry. Not in
the entire book. The first point in in
the prerequisites for the first five was what?
Ulul Hima, a person should shoot higher than
these things.
And
it's great to, like, go out and have
coffee and lunch and things like that.
I know how to make coffee in my
own house. And I know I I I
know how to make lunch in my own
house. And, like, going from place to place
or meeting different people
is a drain on me, and it would
have been easier for me just to have
a regular job and make my own coffee
and make my own lunch.
The point is what? The the person should
come and benefit from the and they should
come and benefit from the from the, from
from the teaching, and they should come and
benefit from the learning and all of these
other things.
If you're just hanging out
and doing all the stuff that a normal
human being would do with with your or
with your and you don't do those things
that are actually giving you some sort of
benefit,
then you've
taken the suhbah of people without getting any
of the benefit. It's like somebody handed you
handed you, like, the grapevine, but there's no
grapes on it. Someone handed you a branch,
but of the orange tree, there's no oranges
on it. There's no fruit from what you're
what you're getting. You're just getting the stem
of it,
and then saying, oh, look. You know, I
spent so much time. So many years, I've
been meeting so and so. You've been meeting
him and shooting the breeze with him.
So see what you benefit from it. Because
people think everything is magic. Right?
That somehow you're gonna, you know, you meet
so and so, and then before you die,
you know, like, he's gonna come to you
in the form of an angel and, like,
sprinkle fairy dust on you, and you'll fly
there or
whatever. That's not the way it works. There
are the sprinkle fairy dust and fly in
the air people. Whoever they are, they got
it through making
for their whole life and from scrupulous adherence
to the dean and from doing those things
that would make a normal man cry,
for years on end.
Then that type of kind of weird and
fancy stuff happens. It doesn't happen just because
you had coffee with someone twice.
The
the calamity of leaving
leaving,
legal dispensations and strange interpretations in the deen
is that you start to feel sorry for
yourself. Oh, look. I went through all this,
and I'm going through all this difficulty. And
look at me. You know? I'm so tired,
and I'm this and I'm that and the
other thing,
that you you shouldn't start feeling sorry for
yourself. If you do that, then you're getting
the wrong lesson out of out of having
having,
having
left
left dispensations
and
and and spurious interpretations.
And the
the calamity of
being strict with your time.
We'll come back to this point.
And the calamity with regards to blaming the
nafs
in every
matter is that if you keep doing that,
it will get better and better.
And, he will one day,
you might one day,
admire how wonderful your the hal in your
your state is,
and, how much istikama you have. Even though
Allah
that the nafs
is such that that even if you try
your best to be just,
still, it's justice isn't gonna be wrong.
And Allah,
and, the the noble one the son of
the noble one said the Yusuf Alaihi
Salam Alaihi Musaam.
He said that I do not
I do not,
hold my my self blameless.
I don't hold my nafs blameless. Why? Because
the nafs, the the self and the ego
is
always commanding ever commanding to evil, except for
the one that, my lord has has mercy
on.
And
it's really interesting that the the the
the problem with blaming the nuffs
is that if you blame it enough,
you'll start to admire it,
which is
you just did you're you just stop blaming
it at some point.
The I idea is that when it when
it's
being bad, it's easy to blame it because
what?
Because you could see with your eyes what's
bad about it. When it's being good, it's
hard because you can't see that anymore.
But once you can't see it anymore, then
it will start doing evil things that it
wasn't able to do from the beginning.
The sins of, like, regular heedless people are
not like the sins of of good people
who go wrong.
So a person should always
keep their keep their in check-in. This is
why our used to do things like that.
You know? It's not just one of them.
So many of them generation after generation. If
somebody
did something good or saw something good from
themselves,
then
that you would find that person,
cleaning the bathroom
in the middle of the night.
And,
what's what's what what's that about? What do
they have, like, a lack of janitorial services
in in the old days or in Madars
or this? It's not about any of that.
What is it? What is it? A person
has to remind themselves that this is what
our maqam is in the deen and our
maqam is in front of Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala.
And anything Allah gave us higher than that,
then it's from his father and a person
shouldn't be
a person shouldn't be
a heedless of that. It's like the master
asked a slave to sit at the table.
There's a way that the slave should sit
at the master's table. The
slave sits at the master's table. Obviously, he's
gonna eat food that
that's better than the food that he usually
eats.
But there's a way that he's supposed to
sit there. How is he supposed to sit
there?
There's not enough salt in the food. This
I know you're gonna get kicked off. You
get lost. Go eat corn with the hogs
now.
That's not, you know, that's not your place.
And so a person should should constantly be
aware of that last day.
They they mock it up and and something
good Allah has going for them, they they
screw it up and and then they lose
that benefit.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala give all of us
tawfiq.
