The title of the book of Jonah's book is not a title but rather a framework for individuals to achieve their goals. The speakers stress the importance of holding fast to milestones and being watchful of them, as it is crucial for personal success. The speakers also emphasize the need for adherence to laws and avoiding hesitation and reluctance in achieving success. The importance of belief in predictions and the selection of behavior is also emphasized.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam are so loud he was offering him
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:11
			a lot today we will go over Babel to sum the chapter have taken shelter
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:24
			in the Manasa serene session and then in the following session for the second worship session we
will talk about the rulings of wiping on
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			socks,
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			leather socks and non leather socks.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			So,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:46
			we know a lot I was gonna say shut up because a lot of some of the word of the song itself is just
attached to them.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:01:03
			But the moment we sat here in bed without the sound of the chapter of taking shelter, or the loss of
gelato generosity will be heavily laden with data for Roku, Allah subhanaw taala said that hold
firmly to the root of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			and do not be divided.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10
			And then he said well possiamo will live
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:41
			forever moto lmsc Moto Z mobile live horn will come and hold fast to Allah He is your protector
called fastball law he is your protector and the translation here even though this is our first demo
and this is a placebo. So, when it comes to handle, when it comes to the role of Allah, then I think
the translation would be appropriately hold on or hold fast to
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			the rope of Allah.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			By the left assignment self
		
00:01:48 --> 00:02:00
			love assignments itself comes from asthma which is protection also means protector asthma means
protection. And in my case,
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:12
			you find it the lexicon of Murphy's Law which tells you the roots of the words and where they come
from and what the imply and infer.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			He said out
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			loud, Hassan has those three things
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			protection,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:34
			holding grasping, protection and nervous and all those three things are very applicable to this
topic today. It is grasping,
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:42
			protection, and near this so the three letters, I in sub mean
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:53
			those three letters, that is what the in for the inferior Nereus in for protection, and the inferior
grasping.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:55
			So when we talk about love,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			versus love to somebody, when we talk about happiness,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:10
			which is holding fast to the role of Allah subhanaw taala as Allah said, authoritarian run, holding
fast to the rope of Allah.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:42
			That is different from the sound Villa which is taking shelter in a love taking shelter with a law
taking shelter with a law office mobile app. So a better translation for our policy mobila although
it's the same word is take shelter with Allah. So tassimo de la holdfast the rope of Allah grasp the
rope of a line hold fast to it, and then while fussing with law, take shelter with Allah.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:59
			Because like I said, the word is not can be about grasping and can be about protection and here
protection It is not that you're that you will be the protector it is that you will be seeking
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			that protection.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			So of course he will be happy to learn he
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Jamia
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			what would be the rope of Allah subhanaw taala time
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:39
			Qur'an and the sun would be the rope of Allah, the sun, I've had different interpretations of the
rope of Allah subhanaw taala. And certainly the puranam the sun would be the most prominent of those
interpretations of a hyperbola. And certainly the setup would agree on this. It's just the setup
used sometimes to give
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			sort of
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:51
			examples that are not basically comprehensive in their interpretation, they would just give you like
an example of what this means.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:59
			What one of the meanings of this would be such and such, such as when I have not best talks about
it. He talks about it, almost
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:46
			The minute Jenna would have knocked bass interprets in a manner which is trustworthiness and he says
it was limited Jenna to take a bath after being, you know, after ritual impurity to take a bath.
Well, someone may frown on this and say, you know, you really limiting and Amanda trustworthiness to
that very little, just saying, well, he's he's not saying that this is what America is all about, he
is just giving you an example of where it applies, like a practical example. It is basically that
you're the only one who knows that I'm doing a job. And then you take in the Muslim means that you
have that you have commitment like that you have sincerity like that, that you have read that
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:56
			whenever. So the Abdullah gives an example of what it means. But this is not a basically
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:24
			like a word for words, or interpretation, or explanation. So here with that set up, when they talked
about hospital law, they talked about different things around and this and that will be of these
things for sure. And then shut up when he wrote his magnificent book about Assad, which which, which
is holding fast or grasping or holding on to the Quran and the Sunnah of Qatar was similar.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			This was a book primary
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:37
			entirely, like an anti better book, anti innovation book, because by the time I'm shocked to be
live,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:07:13
			which was in the eighth century, a century after hedra, the Buddha had spread so much in the Muslim
world, that we have become very divided over our practices, because, you know, every sect, every
group of people, they started to have their own separate practices and we drifted far away from the
Quran and the Sunnah and the way of the Prophet and the companions, unrighteous predecessors.
Because of this innovation, inevitably, innovation will lead to departure from the sun,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:08:06
			just by the mere competition with a certain forget about contradiction. Forget about conflict, just
by the mere competition with certain because, you know, your lifetime will not be enough to live up
to all of the senate of the prophet SAW silent everything, the prophet prescribed everything the
Prophet pointed out to us as good and practice himself, your lifetime will not be enough to
basically fulfill all of that to live up to all of that. So any bigger any prey will compete well
with the center and take up your time, take up your effort, take up your energy, so that for some
habits that have the law here means the milestones to diamonds, all of the milestones, the guidance,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:32
			you know, can we say the Prophet himself is part of that? Absolutely. In Quran and the Sunnah. You
know, the prophet the first generation, the practice of the righteous predecessors a milestone
guidance after loving the Massoud said habla and America. Why, once again, he is not saying that
Allah is not a Quran and the Sunnah, he's just saying that habla is also an Gema.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:09
			Ultima means the mainstream stream or the main bulk of the believing Muslims, it does not mean
mainstream, like you basically measure the public practice and you find the point in the middle and
you say that this is the middle, you know, so you measure public practice of all of the Muslims, and
you find yourself a point in the middle and you say that, you know, this is moderation. That doesn't
work this way. It's not it's not geometric like this, it is basically you know, the main bulk here
is the main bulk of the practicing
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:59
			believers, the main bulk of the practicing righteous believers, the main bulk also of the scholars
of Islam, because the knowledge is important in this regard, knowledge is important in this regard.
So the law means hold fast, grasp the milestones, be watchful of the milestones on the path to
guidance or on your on your path to Allah, for your journey to Allah subhanaw taala set up many
milestones for you, you know, hold on to the poor and hold on to this and hold on to, you know, the
drama, the mainstream, the mainstream of the Muslims in your time and, you know, hold on also to the
you know, guide
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:34
			sub directories predecessors how they approached and understood and practiced, you know that the
deal now righteous predecessors, the first three generations primarily the first one, the companions
of the Prophet sallallahu s and now that is about to some habit and then he moves on and he's pulled
to another area, which has to do with a lot of some of the some of the largest taking shelter with a
loss of Massimo Villa, who can take shelter with a lot, he is your protector is your protector.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:42
			here how best as a as a protector and as a helper.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			So a person will hear when when you talk about them to some biller
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			after
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:42
			somebody gives a different meaning, you know, it's not exactly like Lata Sunbrella here it is about
taking shelter with a loss of Hello Todd, taking shelter with a loss. I know Tyler, because on your
journey to Allah subhanaw taala you need guidance, right? milestones. But also, this is a very
individual journey. This is a very lonely journey, what ends up in journeyers need protection and
energy power to complete their journey. It's not only that you need guidance, but you also need
protection and you need power and energy to complete that journey. And holding fast to the rope of
Allah subhanaw taala even though if you understood this to be in the most comprehensive way, you
		
00:11:42 --> 00:12:32
			know, and then you hold fast to the crown with your not only with your intellect or your knowledge
but also with your actions, then it will include everything, but you know, a person who will take
shelter with Allah gives an edition of meaning which is that you need those milestones on the path.
But also you need power and protection you need energy and protection to complete the journey. And
that is one classy move in law. So find that energy find that power find that protection with a law
look for it with a law and take shelter with Allah subhana wa tada Psalm here is different from
Strv, even though they are synonymous, the either when you Tao was beloved car with a biller, what
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:49
			does it mean? What does our beloved mean? Because we often translate those a bit louder is the
others were taken seeking refuge with ALLAH subhana wa Tada. And then of Islam, it is also about
taking shelter. So what is the difference between alpha salmon is
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:57
			the salmon str that there are differences between the salmon str the na?
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:02
			Yes.
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:27
			Yeah, yes, exactly. So that is one of the differences to some a refers, although the arts anonymous,
although the word that the language itself would not lend this to you. But the the issue here is
that in usage, and implication, there are some differences.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:14:10
			As the artisan is petitioning for protection, is appealing to a law for protection petitioning for
protection, asking, requesting seeking protection from Allah subhanaw taala. But remember, I said in
the lexicon of Matthias and lava, he said that has to do with nearing this grasping and protection,
protection through Nereus is a song. It's protection through narratives, taking shelter with a law.
Do you imagine that someone who's running away from law would be taking shelter with a loss of
appetite? Or that someone who's distant from a law, you could still imagine that someone who's
distant from a law makes the either
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:45
			you know, your distance value, you're saying protect me that could work, although you're not showing
you like that you deserve it, but it instead work. It's just petitioning for protection. And even if
you're this then you could petition for protection. But after some talks about you, you know,
working for that protection, taking shelter with Allah, it means what taking shelter with Allah
through nearness, to have closeness to him. So it does
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			imply that you're working for that you are coming close that you are getting near to Allah to take
shelter. How do you take shelter when you're out? You know when you like how would you take shelter
from the rain if you if you stay stay?
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			out
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:13
			what you have to walk in to take shelter from the elements. So that is one of the differences
between autism and
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:36
			STI, between the Sun and the skies. Although is that disarm also includes petitioning? And why does
it include petitioning, because your work would never be sufficient, you understand that inherently
you are incapable of taking shelter without him allowing you to take shelter without him giving you
the power
		
00:15:37 --> 00:16:00
			to take over without him opening the gates for you, and allow you to come in, you know, for shelter.
So the sun does include also petitioning because in the your work your your attempt at nearing this,
you're working for closeness will never be sufficient without his help.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:43
			So then, the song we have Lila is holding on or holding fast to the milestones to guidance upperhand
the sun, the prophet, the companions, the writers predecessors, the way they understood that the
approach that practice that and the demeanor of the muslimeen around you, the pious practicing
believers who are around you, those are all milestones to guidance, and then what are the some bit
Nam would be taking shelter with Allah subhanaw taala which would imply coming close and being near
to him?
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47
			Then,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			you know, how are we talking about Lhasa to some of the cabinet level in
		
00:16:53 --> 00:17:01
			Morocco, the emirate holding firmly to the rope of allies about adhering to his obedience while
being watchful of his command.
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			So
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:42
			that it which means adhering to his obedience moeraki ban the empty while being watchful of his
command, with loving and revealing observance of his command you are adhering to his obedience not
because it's your habit not because it's your comfort zone. Not because you're afraid of losing your
status not because of showing off, you're adhering to his obedience, because you are watching his
command lovingly, and respectfully. Watching the command of a lot.
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:55
			And every command, you know, is met with Seminole altana every command was met with basically
compliance.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:00
			submission, and every prohibition is met with
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:12
			abstention, because you are watching the commander, you know, that is what matters the most, that
who commanded you
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:43
			is is at the center of your observation, your attention. So that that is why he said more optimally,
I'm re watching his command because sometimes you adhere to his obedience just because it is your
habit or because it's your comfort zone, or because of many other inferior goals, but he's pointing
out to you that you need to do this. Out of watchfulness revering God loving observance of his
command.
		
00:18:44 --> 00:19:18
			And then this also means what morality but namely you're you're adhering to the obedience watching
this commit, that you'll always be insensitive to his command, you're always trying to really
understand what what he wants to view. So you're really you're adhering to the sun, you're looking
for correctness, you know, obedience alone, you know, is like shouting a lot bad you know, like, the
about the worshipers who are not informed who are not knowledgeable, may
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:55
			be maybe very inferior, or not maybe a very inferior, but may be fully you into say, into
innovation. Obedience needs to be coupled with this watchfulness of the commands of Allah subhanaw
taala so you're watching for commands this this includes both both pillars of both conditions,
prerequisites of acceptance of philosophy, what about sincerity and adherence to the sun? So you
know, pay attention to this because the chef is very precise.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			Mahabharata he Morocco, polyamory Morocco Vania.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:57
			adds a lot to one half of our authority, which is simply adhering to his obedience. And then he then
he says, what are some of the law what karate and kolima? Whom what the * no. So men could later
added what are some of the law who are karate and Kalima home, taking shelter with a lot is through
transcendence, beyond all illusions, taking shelter with Allah is about transcendence, beyond the
above all illusions, what does he mean by illusions everything else other than Allah else, you know,
the the Sufis, they have the some sort of special lingo. So, hence the call this Essaouira has seiwa
means what? See what such except such such and such, you know
		
00:20:58 --> 00:21:08
			illa seiwa, you know, it is first if not for exclusion, so, say why it means, you know except, so,
has
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:11
			the mean an email of it.
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:31
			And the name here means anything else. So, whatever they mean as silver, whenever they mentioned as
silver, they are saying anything else other than Allah subhanaw taala. So, now, Who here is a
silver, any
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:45
			seniors is my home is an illusion. Now, certainly the unionists, what have you and or the people who
believe in it had which is, you know,
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:59
			completely blasphemous, believe I would take this to mean that there is no existence that this
existence is an illusion, that this is just like, there is no reality there is no,
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:36
			he's just trying to say that compared to a laws existence, your existence that is self insufficient,
that is, you know, that has a beginning, and transience in the sense that it has a beginning, not
necessarily in the sense that it has an end, but even your your subsistence, beyond this life,
beyond the life of this world, is contingent upon him is dependent upon him. So, given that it is
dependent upon him and given that your instead of insufficient and given that you are
		
00:22:38 --> 00:23:30
			limited, in all regards, your existence is like an illusion. Like an illusion. This is a, this is an
average Shay, who believes in the names and attributes of a lie, who believes in SQL who believes
that other lies above his throne, who wrote about this, who who fought for this his entire life. So
I must understand this word, this, you know, statement through his entire legacy. This is a chef who
wrote a book about the Mad cat, Mr. Lee, you know, this is an FHA, who believes in his buddies and
the names and attributes of a lot of believes that Allah is above his throne separate from his
creations, then I must say, you know, understand his speech through that entire legacy. And that is
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:56
			the larger context that we must not ignore the larger context, there the can text is not just one
thing, there is limited context, there is large context, larger context, and so on. So if you want
to understand the statements of a scholar, understand them through the largest context, what was
what was he about what is his legacy?
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:05
			As a shave, so he is not saying that we don't have our existence is unreal.
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			But he's saying that compared to allows existence,
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:27
			the fact that it is transient, like you have a beginning, the fact that you are creation, he brought
you to this existence, and your existence at any point of time, is completely completely dependent
on him, completely dependent on him.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:59
			Makes you almost an illusion, makes all of this creation, all of this existence, all of the
universe, and illusion. That real, the true one ad hoc is Allah subhanaw taala, who created us all,
so transcending beyond all illusions, means that you are taking shelter with the Creator, the own
the sole protector, creator, maintainer sustainer
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			helper. And so
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:10
			then he says what the homeless woman colita does. And I'm not going to go back and talk to you about
that. And, you know,
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:27
			we may come back and talk about this issue in detail. But I don't want to repeat this every time.
But it is extremely important because you will need to get this down very clearly and correctly in
your mind.
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:34
			So that you don't have a problem reading books of this nature.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:26:12
			And then he says what the homeless that is on Bella taking shelter was the last panel Tada. It's
about transcendence beyond all illusions, and then at the homeless men correlated, which is reddens
from any hesitation, rather than from any hesitation throughout the reservation or hesitation
reluctance. So basically, a heart that has no certainty and heart that has no togetherness, the
heart of that is not focused on the goal, the ultimate objective, and the ultimate, the final
destination is a heart that is torn.
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			And a heart that would always suffer from hesitation.
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:54
			Limited hesitations, unlimited. If you don't, if
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:26
			you can imagine a heart that is not set of the final destination will always have unlimited
hesitations about everything about every pursuit, you know. So, these are this is not just
reluctance between the true one and the illusions, the you know, between the life of this world and
the eternal, between good and bad, you know, that this is hesitations, even with every pursuit in
your life, you will have visitations
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:33
			but, you know, have believer would have, you know, like a little
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:55
			checklist, you know, is this you know, the first thing is it had a, you know, I have to check this
off first had that or not have not had, that we're done, you know, move on, forget about and then
the next thing is this really, is this really
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:30
			best for me, best for my relationship with Allah subhanaw taala bring me closer take me farther away
Is this a distraction within that, you know, frame of mind you will be able to rule out many things
and you will be able to have focus and clarity. So, the homeless man could literally do basically
acquiring certainty, certainty and ridding yourself of all sorts of hesitation and reluctance.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:33
			Then he says what are the some
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:39
			of the some of the armory but how bad is Islam and designer?
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:47
			He says taking shelter with Allah is three levels, they are the sum of the masses, maybe the masses
is
		
00:28:48 --> 00:29:01
			maybe I should use some other word for it other than the masses, because the masses does have some
negative connotation he does not mean to be a little more than he does. Maybe he could use the
public purse message
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:03
			do you think
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:20
			he means just the generality of the practice and Muslims versus the select few versus not that the
topmost across the cream of the crop?
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			The layman
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:30
			Well, he does not mean the moment and that because the layman may refer to someone who's not
knowledgeable
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:38
			but arm as for him the AMA in terms of the rankings on the path.
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:43
			The path of devotion not necessarily
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:49
			knowledge but anyway in our unit you understand what he means that Armand
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51
			lamb is the
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			the generality of the people the public, and in hospital would be the select few and army
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:17
			The beginner is on the path alarm are the beginners on the past two devotion and costs are you know
the advanced seekers and hospital costs which which is basically the elite of the advanced seekers
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:23
			or the most elite of the advanced secrets not the elite is the most elite of the advanced secrets.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:36
			So, the he then he talks about how to seminar on time says that this that he talks about an armor
because the shape is basically is always
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:40
			almost like
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:53
			the concept of fernet has a grip on him like a very hard to grip on him. So unless you are basically

I will also do these things that is called a T often not yet in and that is, you know, precaution is

			Every seven year buddy, he says he's sustaining it now. Show him the gratitude, that devotion and
gratitude that is due to him that is justice with a law and justice with the people is very easy.
The Golden Rule is justice with the people you know, so treat people as you like to be treated, that
is justice with the people.
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:28
			And then he says, Well, what are the some we have the law and that is holding fast to the rope of
Allah. So the rope of Allah,

really, if you look at this, it will include the next two. This description will include the next
two phases, but he wants in the next two phases to points out subtleties. You know, that may not be
although this description that he gave for the beginners includes the next two phases, but he's
saying that beginners sometimes may not observe the subtleties I will mention in the next two
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25

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

00:42:50 --> 00:43:03
			in Qatar means work through detachment. And then at the sunk costs, total cost which is taking
shelter of the topmost, you know, of the select few
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:10
			have a word about word elite of the elite. And the just the word of the elite, the
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:20
			the elite of the elite. I wanted to use the word elite, but I was afraid that it does have some
negative connotations,
		
00:43:21 --> 00:43:40
			doesn't it in our times the word elite has negative connotation. If we're talking about it from a
different perspective, we're not talking about it from the worldly perspective of being elite. But
it became sort of state, you know,
		
00:43:41 --> 00:44:04
			yeah, the no or the the intellectual elites. Yeah, whether the intellectual elite sort of infers
this arrogance or the, you know, but they were the elites that he's talking about here are different
from the intellectual, the sort of elites on the path to devotion, these are the elites the you know
taklon, Eman lalala.
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:30
			So, he says that the sound of the select few is by complete dedication, I translate in Qatar which
is detachment as dedication, because this is ultimately what is meant you detach from you tend to
cut off the world so that you can attach yourself to God so that you could connect with God. So I
call the dedication, but maybe I should have left it as detach.
		
00:44:32 --> 00:44:53
			Because it's because in the next phase, he will talk about communion and identify lifted as
detachment, maybe it will be better understood. So what are some of the select few is by complete
dedication? Literally, he said that detachment that's detachment from a sliver of the ends other
than a loss.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:59
			And that is, he will tell you now that some of the costs are disallowed.

			while some of us have the trust, and the other some of the topmost of the select few is through
