Hamzah Wald Maqbul
AI: Summary ©
The controversy surrounding the idea that Islam is a source of blessings and honor is a secret of how Allah creates people's actions and power. The Qoverah claims that men are free to acquire their actions according to the power given by God, and that men are free to acquire their actions according to the power given by God. The Sufismist's de downgrade of men's good and evil actions by god is a sign of faith, and the importance of strong faith in one's life is highlighted. The transcript describes the history of the S beforehand, including the S beforehand, and highlights the importance of having a strong faith in one's life and family.

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

So today, I wanted to read from the

00:00:18 --> 00:00:20

Kashel Mahjub again,

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

the 8th chapter with regards to the imams

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

of the that come from the

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

from the

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

family of the Rasul

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

And whether a person knows it or doesn't

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

or understands it or doesn't, the family of

00:00:35 --> 00:00:35

the prophet

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

who we are commanded to respect and love

00:00:39 --> 00:00:39

and honor,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:43

because of our love and respect of honor

00:00:43 --> 00:00:44

of the messenger of Allah

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

who we love and respect and honor because

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

of the love and respect and honor of

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

Allah Ta'ala the that Allah Ta'ala who made

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Jannah haram on anyone

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

who says,

00:00:54 --> 00:00:55

other than Muhammad

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

not just from this Ummah but from the

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

time of Sayna Adam alayhis salaam including all

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

of the and

00:01:03 --> 00:01:04

including

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

all of their followers until the.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

That

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

commanded us to respect him, commanded us to

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13

respect his family as well for his sake.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14

May

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17

Allah be pleased with them.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

And,

00:01:21 --> 00:01:24

you know, this doesn't mean, any excess in

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

which we say, well,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

because of this, everything that someone from the

00:01:29 --> 00:01:29

messenger

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

family does

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

is halal or good or that, you know,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

they have to be our political leaders or

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36

they have to,

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

you know, lead the prayer every single time

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

or that everyone else in Islam is a

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

second class citizen other than them. This is

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

not what that's about.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:45

Rather,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

the love of the family of the prophet

00:01:49 --> 00:01:52

is cherishing him in them, that they are

00:01:52 --> 00:01:54

a living piece of of the Rasool

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

who's still with us and the living reminder

00:01:57 --> 00:01:58

of

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

of him with us. And when someone reminds

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

you of someone you love, you love them.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

And this is why

00:02:05 --> 00:02:07

who during a drought in his time,

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

He commanded the

00:02:10 --> 00:02:11

he commanded the,

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

the companions of the messenger of Allah

00:02:16 --> 00:02:18

to go out into the desert and pray

00:02:18 --> 00:02:19

the drought prayer.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

And he stood to saydna

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

Abbas radiahu ta'ala who in front of the

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

the congregation

00:02:26 --> 00:02:26

and

00:02:26 --> 00:02:28

he called on Allah

00:02:29 --> 00:02:29

Despite

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

by the consensus of the

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

he stood say have that he has the

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

who has a higher than

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42

who accepted Islam on the day of the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:47

and was the last of the who asked

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

Allah,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

this is the closest relative of your Rasul

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

for his sake and through him for the

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55

sake of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

Wasallam. Have mercy on your creation and bring

00:02:58 --> 00:02:59

down the reins.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:02

And, far from being just a token of

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

Barakah, the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

wasallam,

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

along with the immense Barakah and blessings that

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

they have with them.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:12

Also, Allah ta'ala open their hearts to carry

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

the the the

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

knowledge both inwardly and outwardly of the deen,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

both in the law and in,

00:03:18 --> 00:03:20

spiritual matters to the point that many of

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

our great in the past and present are

00:03:24 --> 00:03:25

are from the of the

00:03:26 --> 00:03:26

and

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

their lineage amongst us is a source of

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

blessings, and it's a source of of of

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

of of honor from Allah to Allah to

00:03:33 --> 00:03:36

us and it wards off many calamities and

00:03:36 --> 00:03:36

many,

00:03:37 --> 00:03:37

difficulties

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

and it opens many doors for good and

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

both worldly and otherworldly.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

So it's important to understand

00:03:44 --> 00:03:46

what the value of them is and what

00:03:47 --> 00:03:48

their or

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

their, their their leadership and their high rank

00:03:52 --> 00:03:53

amongst the Muslims,

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

is both in terms of the,

00:03:57 --> 00:03:59

both in terms of the the the matters

00:03:59 --> 00:04:00

that are spiritual

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

as well as the the matters that are,

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

worldly with regards to the of the prophet

00:04:10 --> 00:04:10

Hassan.

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

He was profoundly versed in Sufism.

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

He said, by the way of precept, see

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

that you guard your hearts for god knows

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

your secret thoughts.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

Quote, unquote, guarding the heart consist

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

not in turning to others than Allah Ta'ala,

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

consistent not turning to other than Allah Ta'ala

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

and in keeping one secret thoughts from disobedience

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

to the almighty.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

When the got the upper hand and the

00:04:38 --> 00:04:41

doctrine of rationalism became widely spread, Hassan al

00:04:41 --> 00:04:43

Basri wrote to Hassan bin Ali

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

begging for guidance and asking him to state

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

his opinion on the perplexing

00:04:48 --> 00:04:50

on the perplexing subject of predestination

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

and on the dispute whether men have any

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

power to act or

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

meaning whether men create their own actions or

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

does God create people's actions. So this is

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

a this is a early

00:05:01 --> 00:05:02

controversy,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

or shall we say,

00:05:05 --> 00:05:05

heresy,

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

which, came up in the,

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

generation of

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

the Tabireen.

00:05:12 --> 00:05:15

The people of Jabbar and Khadar were 2

00:05:15 --> 00:05:16

groups of Mubtadi'a,

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

2 groups of impious and reprehensible innovation.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

The group of Jabar were the Jabariyah.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:24

They said that every

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

action is so completely created by Allah ta'ala

00:05:28 --> 00:05:29

that there's no use in you trying. If

00:05:29 --> 00:05:31

you're written for the fire, you're going to

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

the fire and and there's no use in

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

trying. And if you're written for Jannah, you're

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

going to Jannah anyway, so there's no use

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

in trying.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:39

And the the heretical sect of the Qadariya

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

said no. You create your own actions

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

independently.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:45

Allah is not the creator of your own

00:05:45 --> 00:05:46

actions

00:05:46 --> 00:05:48

and, you know, you can listen to the

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

Aqidah Taghawiya

00:05:51 --> 00:05:53

lecture series in great detail if you wanna

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

have a big out laid explanation for this.

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

This may not be the time for it,

00:05:59 --> 00:06:01

and we may not have time for it

00:06:01 --> 00:06:03

now even if we wish to to discuss

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

it. But,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

suffice to say

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

warned the people of the Ummah not to

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

delve into this issue too deeply.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

Why? Because in it is a secret

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

of how does the creation work. The question

00:06:16 --> 00:06:16

asks,

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

how is it that Allah creates people's actions

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

and has power over them but still ask

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

them for their account and keeps them responsible

00:06:24 --> 00:06:24

for those actions?

00:06:25 --> 00:06:28

And, the the prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, his

00:06:28 --> 00:06:30

was essentially what the Quran says,

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

that that Allah Ta'ala is not to be

00:06:34 --> 00:06:36

asked why he does what he does or

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

how why he does how what he does,

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

how he does it, even though he has

00:06:39 --> 00:06:41

the right to ask everyone of the creation.

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

So we know from the text of the

00:06:43 --> 00:06:45

Quran that Allah does what he wants and

00:06:45 --> 00:06:46

we know we know that he has the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

right to ask people about it,

00:06:48 --> 00:06:50

and these hair splitting controversies

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

with regards to creed,

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

he did not permit the,

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

all in sundry of the Ummah to engage

00:06:57 --> 00:06:58

in them.

00:06:59 --> 00:06:59

So

00:07:00 --> 00:07:00

the the Qadariya,

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

who,

00:07:02 --> 00:07:03

essentially,

00:07:04 --> 00:07:05

include the Mu'tazila,

00:07:06 --> 00:07:08

and the Mu'tazila are a group of deviants

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

that will start to boycott the the the

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

majlis of Al Hasan al Basri in Basra.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:13

The Qadariya,

00:07:14 --> 00:07:16

they get the upper hand in Basra and

00:07:16 --> 00:07:16

they spread

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

and they're they they ride a very high

00:07:19 --> 00:07:20

wave in Iraq

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

until the ulama of the sunnah will refute

00:07:23 --> 00:07:23

them,

00:07:23 --> 00:07:25

very completely. People like,

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

people like Imam Ahmed Benhambel, people like Imam

00:07:29 --> 00:07:32

Khazali, people like Imam Abu Hassanal Ashari, Rahimuhullah

00:07:32 --> 00:07:33

Ta'ala,

00:07:34 --> 00:07:35

and many others after them.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

So when this controversy

00:07:37 --> 00:07:39

this controversy first starts,

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

showing its,

00:07:41 --> 00:07:42

showing itself,

00:07:42 --> 00:07:44

Hassan al Basri wrote to say that Hassan

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

Min Ali, the grandson of the prophet sallallahu

00:07:47 --> 00:07:47

alaihi wasallam,

00:07:48 --> 00:07:50

begging for guidance and asking him to state

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

his opinion on the perplexing subject of predestination

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

and on the dispute whether men have any

00:07:55 --> 00:07:56

power to act or not.

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

Hassan bin Ali

00:07:59 --> 00:08:00

replied

00:08:00 --> 00:08:02

that in his opinion, those who did not

00:08:02 --> 00:08:05

believe in predestination or qadr of men's good

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

and evil actions by god were infidels. They're

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

kafar. They're they're they're out of the fold

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

of Islam. And those who imputed their sins

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

to god were miscreants,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:16

meaning for they were they were they were

00:08:16 --> 00:08:17

they were sinners

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

and misguided people,

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

I e the Qadir is the Qadir is

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

they denied the divine providence and the Jabaris

00:08:25 --> 00:08:28

impute their sins to God. Hence, men are

00:08:28 --> 00:08:29

free to acquire their actions according to the

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

power given them by God and thus our

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

religion takes the middle course between

00:08:34 --> 00:08:37

complete free will in creating one's own deeds

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

and hard predestination

00:08:39 --> 00:08:42

in consigning the consequences of one deeds completely

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

to Allah Ta'ala.

00:08:45 --> 00:08:45

The Sheikh,

00:08:46 --> 00:08:47

Ali Hajwair

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

says,

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

I have read in the anecdotes that when

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

Hassan bin Ali was seated at the door

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

of his house in Kufa,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

a Bedouin came to him and reviled him

00:08:55 --> 00:08:56

and his father and his mother,

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

Al Hassan and who is his mother? His

00:09:00 --> 00:09:01

mother said the Fatima radiAllahu ta'ala Anha, the

00:09:01 --> 00:09:01

daughter of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

wa sallam. The

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

messenger of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

The one he said about,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

about

00:09:08 --> 00:09:09

whom

00:09:09 --> 00:09:09

Fatima

00:09:14 --> 00:09:16

Fatima is like a part of me.

00:09:17 --> 00:09:17

So

00:09:18 --> 00:09:19

that someone would revile her.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:21

So Bedouin

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

came to came up and reviled him and

00:09:23 --> 00:09:25

his father and his mother,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:27

Al Hassan

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

stood up and said, oh Bedouin, perhaps you're

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

hungry or thirsty. What ails you? The Bedouin

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

took no heed but continued to abuse him.

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

Al Hassan ordered his slave to bring a

00:09:36 --> 00:09:38

purse of silver and gave it to the

00:09:38 --> 00:09:39

fellow saying, oh Bedouin,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:41

excuse me for there is nothing else in

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

the house. Had there been more, I should

00:09:43 --> 00:09:45

not have grudged it to you.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

Upon hearing this, the Bedouin

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

exclaimed, I bear witness that you are the

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

grandson of the messenger of Allah ta'ala. I

00:09:51 --> 00:09:53

came here to make a trial of your

00:09:53 --> 00:09:53

mildness.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:56

Such are the true saints and sheikhs who

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

care not whether they are praised or blamed

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

and listen calmly to abuse.

00:10:02 --> 00:10:04

Give that coolness inside of our hearts that

00:10:04 --> 00:10:04

we can,

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

tolerate what people say,

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

by by not being affected by their praise

00:10:10 --> 00:10:11

or by their blame,

00:10:12 --> 00:10:14

so much that it changes us inside. It's

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

a sign of true faith.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

Allah, I'll be pleased with them. They say

00:10:18 --> 00:10:18

that who

00:10:19 --> 00:10:21

was so generous that he had a government

00:10:21 --> 00:10:24

stipend that was affixed to him, and he

00:10:24 --> 00:10:25

would spend it all,

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

very quickly, just giving it away to people.

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

And he would then live for the rest

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

of the for the rest of the year

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

on meager means sometimes having to take loans

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

to get by, until the next stipend came,

00:10:38 --> 00:10:39

then he would pay his loans off, and

00:10:39 --> 00:10:41

then very quickly, he would deplete all of

00:10:41 --> 00:10:43

his all of his, money just because of

00:10:43 --> 00:10:46

the the sheer amount of generosity he had.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

Our our own of

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

our Madrasah,

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

Milana Saeed, Mahmoud

00:10:52 --> 00:10:54

give him a long life and protect him

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

and give in his work and and give,

00:10:57 --> 00:11:00

him in his service to the Jamia Madaniya

00:11:00 --> 00:11:01

that we studied

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

in. He said the founder of Jamia Madaniya,

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

his father, Sayed Hamid Mia, the youngest of

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

the Khulafa of Hazrat

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

Mana Hussein Ahmed Madani, also Sayed.

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

Both of them Sayed.

00:11:12 --> 00:11:14

He said that his father was such a

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

generous man.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

His father was such a generous man that

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

everyone would come and cry to him. I'm

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

in debt. I need this. My daughter needs

00:11:21 --> 00:11:22

to get married. I have to pay my

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

medical bills, blah blah blah. And he would

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

his heart would break, and he would go

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

and borrow money from people because he's a

00:11:28 --> 00:11:30

respected man. He would borrow money to from

00:11:30 --> 00:11:32

people and give them the money and not

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

know how he's gonna pay it back. And

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

he said that he had a huge,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

1,000 bead that,

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

that he would wrap around his body, and

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

he would walk back and forth in the

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

courtyard making,

00:11:45 --> 00:11:45

and asking

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

to open a way for him to pay

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

the debts back.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:51

And that's how he would get by. And

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

would, you know, send someone who would send

00:11:53 --> 00:11:55

some money from here, from there, and he

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

would pay pay it back.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

But that's a superhuman type of generosity. If

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

one of us were to do, it would

00:12:00 --> 00:12:01

impugn our deen.

00:12:02 --> 00:12:03

But this is a barakat. I've noticed this

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

from the people of the of the prophet

00:12:07 --> 00:12:08

that whoever wants to accuse them of whatever

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

they want to accuse them, no one can

00:12:10 --> 00:12:12

ever accuse them of of of not being

00:12:12 --> 00:12:14

generous. They're the most generous of people. May

00:12:14 --> 00:12:15

Allah

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

give this ummah and give give give this

00:12:19 --> 00:12:20

ummah from their generosity

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

and give them much more in return in

00:12:22 --> 00:12:23

this world than the hereafter.

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

Saidna Hussein Bin Ali.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:31

Saidna

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

Hussein He's the martyr of Karbala. Sorry.

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

Abu

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

is Abu Mohammed al Hassan Abu Abdul Hassan.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:43

Abu Abdul Hassan, he is the martyr of

00:12:43 --> 00:12:45

Karbala, and all the Sufis agreed that he

00:12:45 --> 00:12:46

was right.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

He's the murderer of Karbala, and all the

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

Sufis are agreed that he was in the

00:12:50 --> 00:12:53

right. And so you'll see, some historians and,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

some some Hadithun and Fukaha.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

They'll kind of waffle a little bit. I

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

don't wanna disrespect them, but they'll kind of

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

waffle a little bit about, you know, Hussein.

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

You'll find every now and then someone who

00:13:05 --> 00:13:08

disagrees with him or tries to shift blame

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

equally or or or partially.

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

But from the Sufis, from from from the

00:13:12 --> 00:13:14

the the the people of

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

and the people of,

00:13:16 --> 00:13:18

you will not find to a man, you

00:13:18 --> 00:13:20

will not find one of them that except

00:13:20 --> 00:13:20

for he.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

He says that saying Hussein

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

who is in the right, and,

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

there's a great lesson in it. If the

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

the the pious indeed,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

the the spiritual,

00:13:31 --> 00:13:32

masters and the spiritual,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

the the the spiritual leaders of this.

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

They have such a strong affinity toward him.

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

There's there's a great there's a great

00:13:42 --> 00:13:44

in it for people not to indulge in

00:13:45 --> 00:13:47

in, any sort of, like,

00:13:47 --> 00:13:50

historical revisionism or whatever,

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

with regards to

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

the the the the the tragedies that befell

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

the of the prophet

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

because the of the to a man, every

00:14:00 --> 00:14:01

single one of them

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

agreed that he was in the right.

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

So long as the truth was apparent, he

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

followed it. But when it was lost, he

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

drew the sword and never rested until he

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

sacrificed his dear life for god's sake.

00:14:14 --> 00:14:15

As long as the truth was apparent, apparent

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

not in that he knew what the truth

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

was or didn't know, he knew what the

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

truth was. Rather apparent as in as

00:14:22 --> 00:14:23

in it was,

00:14:24 --> 00:14:26

it had power over its enemies, meaning the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:28

people of the truth were in in power.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

As long as the truth was apparent, he

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

followed it, but when it was lost, he

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

drew his sword and never rested until he

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

sacrifices dear life for god's sake.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

And this is something that happened, Rasulullah

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

alaihi wasalam. It comes in the that he

00:14:40 --> 00:14:42

was shown the martyrdom of saying that Hussein

00:14:43 --> 00:14:45

vision and the place where he would be

00:14:45 --> 00:14:47

martyred and he wept for his martyrdom.

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

And this is one of the most shameful

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

chapters in the history of the of the

00:14:51 --> 00:14:52

of the prophet that

00:14:54 --> 00:14:54

that he

00:14:56 --> 00:14:58

that that that he he was he was

00:14:58 --> 00:15:00

killed like that treacherously,

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

by the people who said And

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

it's something that traumatizes the Ummah to this

00:15:08 --> 00:15:08

day.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:09

And,

00:15:10 --> 00:15:11

Alama

00:15:11 --> 00:15:12

Alama Tubnu Taymiyyah

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

who's a great lover of the prophet

00:15:17 --> 00:15:18

and a great lover of his family.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:22

And people don't know about that

00:15:23 --> 00:15:24

because they they,

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

they they they involve themselves so heavily in

00:15:27 --> 00:15:28

his controversial

00:15:29 --> 00:15:30

opinions,

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

but they never they never know that that

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

if you look in

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

the Fatwa and the Fatwa

00:15:35 --> 00:15:36

of Ivantemia,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

the Fatwa with regards to spending on your

00:15:39 --> 00:15:41

family on 10th of Ashura.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

He gives a very long tabseerah about what

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

the hikmah of Allah to Allah may have

00:15:47 --> 00:15:47

been

00:15:48 --> 00:15:49

in in,

00:15:49 --> 00:15:51

in causing this thing to happen.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:53

And the summary one of the summaries that

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

he he comes up with is that that

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

the Hassan and Hussain, because they were so

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

young,

00:16:00 --> 00:16:02

they're so young when Badr happened and and

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

and happened. They're unable to participate in all

00:16:05 --> 00:16:05

the major,

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

battles and and all the major victories that

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

the Muslims scored that Allah

00:16:11 --> 00:16:13

put them through difficulty because they say

00:16:14 --> 00:16:14

was

00:16:15 --> 00:16:15

poisoned,

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

silently in Medina by the by the henchmen

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

of Banu Maya,

00:16:21 --> 00:16:23

and, Hussein Al Hussein was,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:26

was was treacherously killed,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

in the, in the plain of Karbala.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

He didn't go there to fight against Banu

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

Umayyah. They killed him treacherously,

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

and in a dishonorable way.

00:16:38 --> 00:16:40

That that the reason the hikmah of Allah

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

in those things happening is so that they

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

go through all this difficulty so Allah can

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

raise their ranks so it's equivalent with that

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

of the other companions of the messenger of

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam in Jannah,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

because they are his beloved grandsons and he

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

the that he wanted them to be,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

close to him,

00:16:58 --> 00:16:59

in in this world and the hereafter.

00:17:00 --> 00:17:02

I say that the fact that the family

00:17:02 --> 00:17:02

of the prophet

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

endured so much

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

disrespect and harm from the,

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

of, of of of Islam,

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

and from the miscreants of the that

00:17:13 --> 00:17:14

those people will still go to Jannah, but

00:17:14 --> 00:17:16

they still give such a hard time to

00:17:16 --> 00:17:18

the family of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

sallam. I say that the fact that they

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

even stayed in Islam,

00:17:22 --> 00:17:24

despite all of that difficulty and they have

00:17:24 --> 00:17:25

so much love for

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

and that Islam's word should be made supremely

00:17:30 --> 00:17:31

that to this day,

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

the people, the family of the prophet

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

are and through history, they are the flag

00:17:37 --> 00:17:40

bearers and the standard bearers of Islam

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

in in in in knowledge and in piety

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

and in vigor and to so off and

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

jihadfi sabiullah

00:17:45 --> 00:17:47

and in serving, the the ummah of the

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam. I say the fact

00:17:50 --> 00:17:52

that they're even still Muslims much less,

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

so, avid in their support for the deen

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

that this is not nothing else except for

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

a sign of the truth of the message

00:17:58 --> 00:18:00

of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa

00:18:00 --> 00:18:00

sallam

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

that in his family,

00:18:03 --> 00:18:04

is imbibed such a a a love for

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

Allah and his rasool sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

that their spiritual power is so great that

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

they can take these and drink these tragedies

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

inside of them and suppress them. And their

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

love for Allah and his rasul, sallallahu alaihi

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

wa sallam, and his deen are so much

00:18:17 --> 00:18:19

that they, that they're able to still go

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

on and still be excited about the deen

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

and still do so much more for the

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

sake of Allah.

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

The Rasul Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam distinguished

00:18:29 --> 00:18:29

Hussain

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

by many tokens of favor. Thus,

00:18:33 --> 00:18:33

Omar

00:18:34 --> 00:18:34

who

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

relates that one day he saw the messenger

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam crawling on

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

his knees while Hussein rode on his back

00:18:41 --> 00:18:42

holding onto a string,

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

on the other end of which was the

00:18:44 --> 00:18:47

messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam's mouth. Omar

00:18:48 --> 00:18:49

said, what an excellent,

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

what an excellent ride you have, oh Abu

00:18:53 --> 00:18:53

Abdullah.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

And the messenger

00:18:55 --> 00:18:56

of

00:18:56 --> 00:18:58

Allah replied, what an excellent rider he is,

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

Yeah. Omar.

00:18:59 --> 00:19:00

Omar who

00:19:01 --> 00:19:02

was praising the prophet

00:19:03 --> 00:19:03

and the prophet

00:19:04 --> 00:19:05

was praising Hussein

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

It is recorded that Hussain

00:19:09 --> 00:19:11

who said, your religion is the kindest of

00:19:11 --> 00:19:14

brethren toward you because a man's salvation consists

00:19:14 --> 00:19:16

in following religion and his perdition,

00:19:17 --> 00:19:18

lies in disobeying it.

00:19:19 --> 00:19:22

Ali bin Hussein bin Ali called Zain al

00:19:22 --> 00:19:24

Abidine, the son of Hussein

00:19:26 --> 00:19:28

He said that the most blessed man in

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

this world and in the next is he

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

who when he is pleased is not led

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

by his pleasure into wrong and when he

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

is angry, is not carried by his angers

00:19:36 --> 00:19:37

beyond the bounds of the right.

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

This is the character of those who have

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

attained perfect rectitude.

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

Kamal Mustaqiman,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:45

the people who have

00:19:45 --> 00:19:47

attained perfect perfect

00:19:48 --> 00:19:48

rectitude.

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

Hussein used to call him Ali the younger,

00:19:55 --> 00:19:56

When

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

when his children were killed at Karbala,

00:20:00 --> 00:20:02

there was none left except for to

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

take care of the women, and he was

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

ill. The other thing is he was just

00:20:06 --> 00:20:08

a child at the time. The men were

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

all massacred at Karbala.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:11

Was just a child at the time,

00:20:12 --> 00:20:14

And he became the the the of of

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

of all of his of the Mahalim women

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

of the family of the prophet

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

The women were brought unveiled on camels to

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

Yazid Bin Maawiya. And,

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

at this point, the author of the

00:20:28 --> 00:20:29

utters a curse on on,

00:20:30 --> 00:20:31

on Yazid.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:33

He says, may god curse him, but not

00:20:33 --> 00:20:35

his father. Some of our will

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

probably object to this,

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

but,

00:20:39 --> 00:20:40

suffice to say that that,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

the author of the kash,

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

was not a big fan of Yazid at

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

all, even though he's very careful to not

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

allow his anger and hatred for,

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

Yazid to,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:53

dim,

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

his respect for, who

00:20:56 --> 00:20:58

was a companion of the messenger of Allah

00:21:00 --> 00:21:01

But

00:21:02 --> 00:21:02

the aside,

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

uh-uh someone said to Ali how

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

are you this morning, oh Ali and members

00:21:11 --> 00:21:12

of the House of Mercy?

00:21:13 --> 00:21:14

Ali Zainal Abidine replied,

00:21:17 --> 00:21:18

we are in the same position amongst our

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

people as the people of Moses among pharaoh's

00:21:20 --> 00:21:22

folk who slaughtered their sons and their women

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

alive.

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

We do not know morning from evening on

00:21:25 --> 00:21:27

account of the reality of our affliction.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:34

The author is this is a part that

00:21:34 --> 00:21:35

that,

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

Nicholson, he

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

he kind of abridges. He doesn't translate. He

00:21:40 --> 00:21:42

says that the author relates that the well

00:21:42 --> 00:21:44

known story of Hisham bin Abdul Malik,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

the the the Khalifa of

00:21:47 --> 00:21:49

Banu Umea and his encounter with Ali Bin

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

Hussein and Makkam Karama. How the caliph who

00:21:52 --> 00:21:53

desired to kiss the black stone but was

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

unable to reach it, saw the crowd immediately

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

make way for

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

and retired to a respectful distance.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:02

How man of Syria asked the Khalifa to

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

tell him the name of this person who

00:22:04 --> 00:22:05

was held in such great veneration

00:22:06 --> 00:22:09

and how Hisham feigned ignorance for fear that

00:22:09 --> 00:22:11

his partisan should be shaken in allegiance to

00:22:11 --> 00:22:11

himself

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

and how the poet Farazdak stepped forward and

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

recited in the sim in splendid,

00:22:19 --> 00:22:19

sorry,

00:22:21 --> 00:22:21

beginning,

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

This is he whose footprint is known to

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

the valley of Mecca. He whom the temple

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

knows and the unhallowed territory and the holy

00:22:31 --> 00:22:31

ground.

00:22:32 --> 00:22:33

This is the son of the best of

00:22:33 --> 00:22:35

all the servants of god. This is the

00:22:35 --> 00:22:37

pious, the elect, the pure, and the eminent.

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

So Nicholson writes that,

00:22:41 --> 00:22:44

Nicholson writes that 25 verses of poetry are

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

are mentioned, and he doesn't translate all of

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

them.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

What would he know the joy of of

00:22:50 --> 00:22:51

of the the

00:22:51 --> 00:22:53

of the the righteous?

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

He he,

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

says that Hisham was enraged.

00:22:58 --> 00:22:58

Hisham,

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

the the Khalifa Hisham bin Abdul Malik was

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

enraged and threw Farazdah into prison.

00:23:04 --> 00:23:05

Ali sent to him a purse containing

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

12,000 dirhams,

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

but the poet returned it with the message

00:23:12 --> 00:23:13

that he had,

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

uttered uttered many lies in the panegyrics,

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

meaning those poetry that poetry he said in

00:23:19 --> 00:23:20

praise of princes and governors,

00:23:21 --> 00:23:23

which he was accustomed to compose for money

00:23:23 --> 00:23:23

and that

00:23:24 --> 00:23:26

he had addressed the verses to Ali as

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

a expiation for his sins in that respect

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

and as a proof for his

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

affection toward the house of the prophet sallallahu

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

alaihi wa sallam.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:35

So the poet Farazdak,

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

uh-uh, when the Khalifa feigned ignorance not knowing

00:23:38 --> 00:23:41

who Alizaid al Abidine is, trying

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

to, through that ignorance, show that, oh, this

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

is person is not that important because I

00:23:45 --> 00:23:47

don't know him. The poet Farazdak

00:23:47 --> 00:23:50

stood forward and he uttered 25 verses in

00:23:50 --> 00:23:53

praise of alizaynu al Abidine, which got him

00:23:53 --> 00:23:54

thrown into jail.

00:23:54 --> 00:23:55

And when,

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

alizain al Abidine heard about that, he sent

00:23:58 --> 00:24:00

him a purse with 12,000 dirhams.

00:24:00 --> 00:24:02

And the the poet returned it and said

00:24:02 --> 00:24:05

that the reason I said these, verses in

00:24:05 --> 00:24:05

your praise,

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

is I knew that that this would be,

00:24:08 --> 00:24:11

difficult, politically harmful for me. But I said

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

them because I spent so much of my

00:24:13 --> 00:24:14

life composing

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

hollow

00:24:15 --> 00:24:17

poetry in praise of

00:24:17 --> 00:24:20

the profligate princes and and and wealthy,

00:24:20 --> 00:24:22

and governors, and I wanted to say a

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

word of praise in truth for the oliya

00:24:25 --> 00:24:27

of Allah ta'ala in order to make up

00:24:27 --> 00:24:28

for my sins.

00:24:28 --> 00:24:29

Ali, however,

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

begged to be excused from being taken back

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

whatever he had given,

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

and Farazdak at last consented to receive the

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

money.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

So there again, you see the, the

00:24:41 --> 00:24:41

generosity

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

of of the the imams of the Ahlulbayt

00:24:44 --> 00:24:46

of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

Abu Jafar, Mohammed bin Ali, Bin Al Hussein,

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

Al Bakr. This is this is the son

00:24:53 --> 00:24:54

of Alizin Labadin,

00:24:55 --> 00:24:58

the, Sheikh Mohammed bin Mohammed Al Bakr.

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

Some say that,

00:25:00 --> 00:25:01

his nickname,

00:25:01 --> 00:25:04

or name of honor, his was Abu Abdullah.

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

His nickname was Al Baqir, the one who

00:25:06 --> 00:25:07

rips things apart.

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

He was distinguished for his knowledge of the

00:25:10 --> 00:25:11

abstruse sciences

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

and his subtle indications as to the meaning

00:25:14 --> 00:25:15

of the Quran, his subtle tafasir of the

00:25:15 --> 00:25:16

Quran.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

It is related that on one occasion, a

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

king wished to destroy to him.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

A king that wished to destroy him summoned

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

him to his presence.

00:25:25 --> 00:25:25

When

00:25:27 --> 00:25:29

appeared, the king begged his pardon and bestowed

00:25:29 --> 00:25:31

gifts upon him and dismissed him courteously.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

On being asked why he had acted in

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

this manner, the king replied, when he came

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

in, I saw 2 lions, 1 on his

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

right hand and 1 on his left who

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

threatened to destroy me. Should I attempt to

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

do him any harm? And his explanation of

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

the verse, whosoever believes in Tahut,

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

where whosoever believes in the this, believes in

00:25:51 --> 00:25:52

Tahut and disbelieves in Allah.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

Bakr said, anything that diverts you from the

00:25:56 --> 00:25:58

contemplation of the truth is.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

One of his intimate friends relates that when

00:26:04 --> 00:26:05

a portion of the night had passed, Al

00:26:05 --> 00:26:07

Bakr had finished his litanies

00:26:08 --> 00:26:09

and his his zikr and he used to

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

cry aloud to god. Oh my god and

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

oh my lord, night has come and the

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

power of monarchs has ceased and the stars

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

are shining in the sky and all mankind

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

are asleep and silent and have gone to

00:26:21 --> 00:26:23

rest and shut their doors and set guards

00:26:23 --> 00:26:25

to watch over them And those who desired

00:26:25 --> 00:26:29

anything from them have forgotten their business. Oh,

00:26:29 --> 00:26:31

Allah, you are the living, the lasting, the

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

seeing, and the knowing.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

Sleep and slumber cannot overtake you. He who

00:26:35 --> 00:26:38

does not acknowledge that you are such as

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

I have described is unworthy of your bounty.

00:26:40 --> 00:26:42

Oh, you whom no thing

00:26:43 --> 00:26:46

withholds from any other thing, whose eternity is

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

not impaired by day and night,

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

whose doors of mercy are open to all

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

who call upon you, and whose entire treasures

00:26:53 --> 00:26:55

are lavished on those who praise you.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:58

You do not ever turn away a beggar

00:26:58 --> 00:27:00

nor any creature in the earth or in

00:27:00 --> 00:27:02

the heaven can prevent the true believer who

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

implores you from gaining access to your court.

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

Oh, my lord. When I remember death and

00:27:08 --> 00:27:09

the grave and the reckoning,

00:27:09 --> 00:27:11

how can I take joy in this world?

00:27:11 --> 00:27:14

Therefore, since I acknowledge you to be 1,

00:27:14 --> 00:27:16

I beseech you to give me peace in

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

the hour of death without torment and pleasure

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

in the hour of reckoning without punishment.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:23

Give it to all of us,

00:27:25 --> 00:27:25

Amin.

00:27:27 --> 00:27:28

Give reward to the people who even taught

00:27:28 --> 00:27:31

us these beautiful duas and these beautiful words

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

and thoughts. Abu Mohammed Jafar bin Sa Mohammed

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

Sadiq.

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

So this is Abu Mohammed Jafar Sadiq,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

the son of Muhammad Al Bakr.

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

He is celebrated amongst the Sufi shaves for

00:27:43 --> 00:27:46

the subtlety of his discourse and his acquaintance

00:27:46 --> 00:27:47

with spiritual truths,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:49

and he has written famous books in explanation

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

of Sufism.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

He's also his name comes in the of

00:27:54 --> 00:27:55

the

00:27:58 --> 00:28:01

It is related that he said whoever knows

00:28:01 --> 00:28:03

god turns his back on all else.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

The Adif, the one who knows God turns

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

his back on other than God and is

00:28:07 --> 00:28:09

cut off from worldly things because

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

his knowledge is pure,

00:28:11 --> 00:28:12

pure,

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

pure, pure, nakala, negation of other than him

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

other than

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

him in as much as Nascent's forms

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

part of his knowledge.

00:28:24 --> 00:28:26

Knowledge forms part of his Nascent's.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:29

Therefore, the gnostic is separated from

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

is separated from mankind

00:28:32 --> 00:28:35

and from, thought of them and he's joined

00:28:35 --> 00:28:37

to god. Quote, unquote, other has no place

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

to exist in his heart that he should

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

pay any heed to them and their existence

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

has no worth for him that he should

00:28:43 --> 00:28:45

fix the remembrance of them in his mind.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

And it is related that he said there

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

is no right service without repentance because god

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

has put repentance before service

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

and has said those who repent and serve.

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

Quran Surah 9,

00:28:59 --> 00:29:00

aiah 113.

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

Repentance or Tawba is the first of the

00:29:03 --> 00:29:06

stations in the path and service is the

00:29:06 --> 00:29:06

last.

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

When Allah mentioned the disobedient, he called them

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

to repentance

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

and said, repent to Allah ta'ala altogether.

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

But when he mentioned the mess messenger of

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam, he referred to

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

his

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

or servantship and he said, he revealed to

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

his servant that which he revealed.

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

I have read in the anecdotes that Dawud

00:29:30 --> 00:29:33

Iftai who is also another great, sheikh of

00:29:33 --> 00:29:34

the tariqa and his name comes and appears

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

in the silsu of the the Qadir.

00:29:37 --> 00:29:39

The I've read in the anecdotes that the

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

sheikh Dawud Tawe came to Jafar as Sadiq,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:42

rahimahumullah

00:29:42 --> 00:29:44

Tabarak Wa Ta'ala and said, oh, son of

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

the messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,

00:29:47 --> 00:29:49

counsel me for my mind is darkened.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:52

Oh, son of the messenger of Allah Sallallahu

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

Alaihi Wasallam, counsel me for my mind is

00:29:55 --> 00:29:59

darkened. Jafar radiAllahu anhu or Rahimullah ta'ala replied,

00:29:59 --> 00:30:02

oh Abu Suleiman, you are the zahid and

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

the ascetic of our time.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:05

What need do you have for counsel from

00:30:05 --> 00:30:06

me?

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

He answered, oh, son of the messenger of

00:30:08 --> 00:30:11

Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, your family are superior

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

to all mankind and it is

00:30:19 --> 00:30:23

resurrection, that at the resurrection, my grandsire will

00:30:23 --> 00:30:25

lay hold on me saying, why did you

00:30:25 --> 00:30:27

not fulfill the obligation to follow in my

00:30:27 --> 00:30:27

steps?

00:30:28 --> 00:30:29

This is not a matter that depends on

00:30:29 --> 00:30:32

authentic and sure affinity to the prophet sallallahu

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

alaihi wa sallam, meaning it doesn't

00:30:34 --> 00:30:35

matter on your,

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

on your lineage, but on good conduct in

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

the presence of the truth. Meaning

00:30:43 --> 00:30:45

began to weep and exclaimed, oh my lord

00:30:45 --> 00:30:47

god, if one whose clay is molded from

00:30:47 --> 00:30:48

the water of prophecy,

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

to Islam and whose grandfather is the messenger

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

of Allah salallahu alaihi wa sallam and his

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

mother is Fatima the virgin,

00:30:56 --> 00:30:58

uh-uh, Batul. If someone,

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

such a one is distracted by doubts,

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

who am I that I should be pleased

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

with my dealings toward you?

00:31:06 --> 00:31:08

One day, Ja'far said to one of his

00:31:08 --> 00:31:10

freed slaves, come. Let us take a pledge

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

that whoever amongst us shall gain deliverance on

00:31:13 --> 00:31:15

the day of judgment will intercede for all

00:31:15 --> 00:31:15

the rest.

00:31:16 --> 00:31:17

His freed slaves said, oh, son of the

00:31:17 --> 00:31:20

messenger of Allah, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, how

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

can you have need for our intercession since

00:31:22 --> 00:31:24

your grandfather will intercede for all of mankind?

00:31:27 --> 00:31:28

Replied, my actions are such that I shall

00:31:28 --> 00:31:30

be ashamed to look at my grandfather in

00:31:30 --> 00:31:31

the face in the last day.

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

To see one's fault is a quality of

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

perfection and is characteristic of those who are

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

established in the divine presence whether they be

00:31:38 --> 00:31:40

prophets, saints, or apostles.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:41

The messenger

00:31:42 --> 00:31:42

of

00:31:43 --> 00:31:45

Allah said, when god wishes a man well,

00:31:45 --> 00:31:47

he gives him insight to his own faults.

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

Whoever bows his head with humility like a

00:31:50 --> 00:31:53

servant, god will exalt him in both worlds.

00:31:55 --> 00:31:56

If this is the state

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

of, then you see in him also a

00:31:59 --> 00:32:00

model for the people who are from the

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

Ahlulbayt of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

And if,

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

you see in the other mashaikh,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:09

a a a model, like, Dawud Uta, you

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

see what the the the the model is

00:32:11 --> 00:32:13

for addressing and for dealing and talking to

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

and loving and revering the Ahlul Bayt of

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. That Dawudu

00:32:17 --> 00:32:18

Ta'i

00:32:18 --> 00:32:19

despite being

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

despite being

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

from

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

from the noble men of the Arabs,

00:32:25 --> 00:32:27

despite from being the low noble lineages of

00:32:27 --> 00:32:29

the Arabs. You see the humility with which

00:32:29 --> 00:32:30

he, spoke to,

00:32:31 --> 00:32:32

say the Jafar al Sadiq and referred to

00:32:32 --> 00:32:34

him as the grandson of the messenger

00:32:36 --> 00:32:38

wa sallam, and how beholden they were that

00:32:38 --> 00:32:40

that that this person's,

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

great grandfather and his ancestor will one day

00:32:43 --> 00:32:46

be the Shafi'ul Umam, he will be the

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

the the the the the intercessors

00:32:48 --> 00:32:51

intercessor not just for this ummah, but for

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

all of the nations of the earth. Allah

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

give us from their addab. Allah give us

00:32:55 --> 00:32:58

from from from their their their qualities and

00:32:58 --> 00:32:59

from their merits. You see

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

is a great grandson from

00:33:04 --> 00:33:05

his father's side of, of

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

Said Ali and Saidafatima,

00:33:10 --> 00:33:10

and the prophet

00:33:12 --> 00:33:14

And from his mother's side, his mother is

00:33:14 --> 00:33:16

uh-uh, the daughter of Al Qasim bin Mohammed

00:33:16 --> 00:33:18

bin Abi Bakr. So he is at the

00:33:18 --> 00:33:19

same time,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:22

called the Majma Al Bahrain, the meeting of

00:33:22 --> 00:33:25

the 2 oceans that in him meets the

00:33:25 --> 00:33:27

lineage of the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi

00:33:27 --> 00:33:28

wa sallam

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

and, saying Abu Bakr Siddiq

00:33:31 --> 00:33:33

and and he his his his

00:33:34 --> 00:33:34

his,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

high station amongst the people of Islam and

00:33:37 --> 00:33:40

from amongst the people of the tariqa is

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

universally recognized.

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

But then, again, see how how much, humility

00:33:45 --> 00:33:47

he has and Allah, if he wishes well

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

for him, he makes that person beholden to

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

his own faults.

00:33:51 --> 00:33:53

That that that sheikh was so beholden to

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

his own faults that despite having

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

next nothing

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

faults that are imperceivable by sinners like ourselves,

00:34:00 --> 00:34:02

how preoccupied he was with his own faults.

00:34:02 --> 00:34:04

It's a it's a sign the shayef was

00:34:04 --> 00:34:06

saying is is a sign of the perfection

00:34:06 --> 00:34:06

of his.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:07

Allah

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

give us from what he gave them and

00:34:10 --> 00:34:12

Allah give us because of their love

00:34:13 --> 00:34:15

another chance to make repentance and to walk

00:34:15 --> 00:34:17

the path of righteousness before we leave from

00:34:17 --> 00:34:18

this world.

00:34:18 --> 00:34:19

And Allah,

00:34:21 --> 00:34:23

you know, give us their intercession on the

00:34:23 --> 00:34:24

day of judgment and give us the intercession

00:34:24 --> 00:34:25

of the messenger

00:34:26 --> 00:34:28

on the day of judgment despite the fact

00:34:28 --> 00:34:28

that we have

00:34:29 --> 00:34:32

abandoned our responsibility toward him and toward his

00:34:32 --> 00:34:33

deen and toward his,

00:34:34 --> 00:34:36

and toward our own souls. Forgive us

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

and and and give us another chance.
