should allow me

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

to proceed.

00:00:08 --> 00:00:18

Today inshallah we we have two topics the first one will be the scare topic and the first session which is unfair Arriola

00:00:20 --> 00:00:32

clean clean to Allah. The second topic in the second session will be about wiping on the footwear the headwear and bandages

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

in other Huracan Allah

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

in his book man as a sad

00:00:46 --> 00:01:12

and eighth chapter or eight station, you know that he divided the stations on this journey to Allah subhana wa tada into eight into 100 stations and we said that it will take us two years because we will finish one station every week. Today we are covering station number eight or chapter number eight, which is the chapter of it

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

sottero illa illa caminhada de Roma de la seven Sora

00:01:19 --> 00:01:36

suffered rule Illa Allah in the lack of min one zero movie and then sleep to Allah to you I am from him at clear Warner for I am to you from him at clear Warner the movie most of the

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

four which is playing gives you the sense of urgency

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

that you have to hasten to Allah with errors and see

00:01:48 --> 00:02:00

so in South Carolina law said fleeing to allies escaping from that which did not exist to that which always existed, play into allies escaping

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

Alvarado and Hara Melania Khun Ella man

00:02:07 --> 00:02:27

considerado one hora, mala Mia cuando la la la la Mia. So please LA is escaping from that which did not exist to that which always existed. So, what does he mean by that which does not exist

00:02:29 --> 00:02:37

as creations for the creations and he is referring to that which did not exist at one point

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

he was

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

spreading the blankets,

00:02:43 --> 00:02:44

spread the blanket

00:02:46 --> 00:02:55

for basically going back in time he keeps on going back in time you go back in time you go back in time until there was one point

00:02:56 --> 00:03:20

when none of us existed, none, at one point, nothing. But Allah existed as the going back in time spread. So we keep going back in time. And when you behold that moment, when nothing existed, when time itself did not exist,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

and only exists.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

When you choose sort of

00:03:29 --> 00:03:44

the seat, the veil, the blanket, and all of his existence can be called the one who always existed, the eternal without the beginning and as the eternal without an ending.

00:03:49 --> 00:03:59

So to flee from all that did not exist at one point to him who existed at all times is unfair.

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

And then he said

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

and that is of three levels, three levels and keep in mind, he likes to divide things into three levels. And then for every level, he will divide that level into three points.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:59

This time is actually so good, that the nine levels that he would mention here, the nine phases that you mentioned here, the oh come on top of each other in this particular corridor become a top of each other. In this particular work. Each one works as a foundation of the next one. Each one works as a foundation of the next one. So he said that, like he usually does. He divides everything into three levels, three categories, the level of alarm, the masses, the public.

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

For beginners,

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

you know, our level.

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

And then he talks about the level of

00:05:11 --> 00:05:18

which our class, the select few, you could say the elite, the select few,

00:05:20 --> 00:05:21

the core

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

code,

00:05:26 --> 00:05:32

and then the level of cross subtle cross, which are the topmost,

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

the

00:05:35 --> 00:05:40

most advanced seekers and the topmost of the seekers

00:05:43 --> 00:05:44

on this journey

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

so he said,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:57

that's the plane of the public pathway where we should pay the most attention because that's what we need the most, because we are, we are the public.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:13

He said, from ignorance to knowledge with certainty and industry, he said the minute you have the dead Messiah, in a journey from ignorance to knowledge, academic,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

which is was certainty was an industry.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

So, fleeing from ignorance to knowledge, he said,

00:06:27 --> 00:06:36

with certainty in industry, because you have to have certain knowledge, you have to have a knowledge that is certain that the means will

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

have the means.

00:06:42 --> 00:07:13

That means we'll try to tie in all kinds of from tying, it all comes from confirmation Toki is set to tighten, to tighten, and tighten and confer that is those three bars, pass them the old reefer, or infer those meanings, the meanings of tightening, tightening, tightening and confirmation.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

So shadow, you know

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

Toki.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:29

And so that's why an anchor is basically the thread that connects the burbs because it connects all of the

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

when we talk about Liverpool, which every 10 years is called Art.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:54

That is, that is because the 10 years combined, you know, 10 years together. And when we talk about an octopus contract, that is because it is confer it is binding, it's consequential. When we talk about

00:07:56 --> 00:08:00

our belief system, why do we call it our P,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

because we believe in it with certainty, not only have

00:08:07 --> 00:08:20

we tied the knot of our hearts over over the top, basically, we believe in it with complete certainty. So that's why we call it an average every

00:08:21 --> 00:08:31

word that would have those three letters will have to do with these meanings, the meanings of certainty, the meanings of time, and tightening.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:34

so hard that here

00:08:36 --> 00:08:49

from ignorance to knowledge, he said back then, meaning that he would have knowledge, certain knowledge that you will accept, and you'll believe them with certainty

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

by your heart

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

folder.

00:08:54 --> 00:09:12

And then he says, pop them was up. And it is important here within the stream with you know, commitment with implementation, because then in Arabic does not only mean lack of information,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:19

particularly in Islamic terminology, sometimes the Arabs have may have not been aware of those meanings before.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:38

But particularly gentlemen, Islamic terminology does not mean the lack of information. It also refers to lack of action or inference to miss these wrong actions. So that's why

00:09:40 --> 00:09:44

when when Betty said to Sally said

00:09:46 --> 00:09:51

Are you mocking us? Are you making fun of us for mocking us?

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

He sent out a

00:09:55 --> 00:09:56

piece of a secret

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

for being out there, Jay Z.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

The egner

00:10:03 --> 00:10:22

PC software is our refuge from being an ignorant in what sense that I don't mock people. I don't ridicule people, you know, have used people in this way. So he called this misdeed, Jeff, that's why use,

00:10:23 --> 00:10:25

they try to tempt him, he said.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:44

So he said, Unless you protect me from the plotting how you were given to them, and I will become of the je e 74.

00:10:46 --> 00:11:08

And I become the Jedi there, we're not talking about lack of knowledge or lack of information. He was talking about lack of action, action that is based on this knowledge. So you're never you'll never have knowledge until you have acted upon it. So that's why you called Doc, Messiah, with certainty and industry.

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

And then he said, after the first phase, and he started by the first phase was, which is the face of knowledge, very important and very informative. Because you need to base your actions on knowledge. You need to base your actions on proper knowledge, you need to

00:11:27 --> 00:11:36

know what is pleasing to Allah to play, basically base all of your actions on proper knowledge. And then he said the next phase when

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

he was when

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

he was

00:11:47 --> 00:12:09

going from lethargy, to after sneer enthusiasm, but at the sneer is worth more than up your sleeve straight, literally smears through roll up your sleeves. And it means here, enthusiasm, vigor, enthusiasm, so from lethargy, to enthusiasm with how that is vigilance.

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

Was that his determination?

00:12:15 --> 00:12:45

And how could you have learned the knowledge should give you this vigor to give you this energy, you know, so that you don't have this lethargy, lassitude, laziness anymore, the knowledge that does not produce this is knowledge that has not sought for the sake of the knowledge that does not produce this energy is knowledge that is impure, that is corrupted.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:49

So one has

00:12:50 --> 00:13:04

to basically be very introspective, and very critical of themselves. Knowledge should result in this energy. We as individuals, and we

00:13:05 --> 00:13:15

suffer from lethargy. It's not just spiritual lethargy, lethargy, we suffer from more and more lethargy.

00:13:18 --> 00:13:21

All the time, we're suffering, we're suffering from lethargy, period.

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

When you know when you

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

when your room is all upside down,

00:13:30 --> 00:13:36

that is that compromises integrity. And does brothers and sisters

00:13:37 --> 00:13:47

is like, you want to have integrity in all of your content in all of your behavior, integrity.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

So don't leave your room messy.

00:13:54 --> 00:14:24

Because that is an indication of lack of resolve, this is about the quality of the individual. So you have to basically hold yourself up to a higher standard in all of your actions in all of your behaviors. When you say to someone when you have to attend the lecture and you say someone sign in for me, that is more or less deadly, that's worse than leaving your own room messy, but

00:14:25 --> 00:14:35

you're actually borderline you're lying here actually, it could be slide. So sign in for me, you don't think that this is a problem because you can somebody that stated

00:14:36 --> 00:14:59

that it is a problem. It actually is fraud. This is fraud. This is like a business cheating. So you have to always be critical of yourself. We as Muslims should basically hold on to the gold standard of ethics, anything that is some ethical level.

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

Lonely, unethical, anything that is some ethical, where men have, you know, complete integrity and women have complete integrity

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

should refrain from we should be the first people to refrain from.

00:15:17 --> 00:15:27

So you ask yourself, and sometimes that I don't want to be extremely inflexible, sometimes you have certain laws, for instance that no one ever follows.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:38

So, they tell you, you know, speed limit is 45 and every one of his brother is exceeding the speed limit.

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

It may be okay in this case, but

00:15:45 --> 00:15:53

the paper test is, if someone knows this about you, that you actually was driving

00:15:55 --> 00:16:03

like 60 and a 55. People, you know, we're not proud of this, people will not think less than you

00:16:06 --> 00:16:12

think that people get to know that you are driving a plane, the 45 men, certainly that would be a problem.

00:16:13 --> 00:16:28

So, and are out here that which is Morrow that which is known to people to be good, is another measuring stick that you should use, certainly, it does not compete with ultimate signatures,

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

the pleasure of Allah.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:55

But it serves as another layer, because of the law refers you to an offer often, when the regulation is silent alarm refers you to an earth prefers you to that which is known to be good. And you hold yourself up to the gold standard of that which is known to be good in all spheres of your life.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:10

And that is basically the enthusiasm that you should you should be showing in all spheres of your life, roll up your sleeves and commit to the gold standard.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

Next, he says women have deep sympathy

00:17:19 --> 00:17:32

for from the from tightness to a sell it to vastness, simple technology, with trust, and second trust and

00:17:34 --> 00:17:40

vpls. Now, after you have done after you have gone through the first two

00:17:42 --> 00:17:51

levels for the first two flights, you're assembling now, to the third, and then you know

00:17:53 --> 00:18:17

which means what it means that this Sarah would come later. First you have let you learn beneficial knowledge that you acted upon. And then you rolled up your sleeves, which means you showed enthusiasm, energy commitment. And after this, you move into this

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

vastness Vastus you know, opaqueness like your

00:18:25 --> 00:18:53

your your * or your heart will be uncomfortable at ease. This is this is comfort, this vastness tightness was parent because you have learned what's pleasing to a lot and you committed to it and he acted upon it with energy and enthusiasm. He says woman I'm deeply in a cyclic pattern, what I

00:18:55 --> 00:19:10

was searching for certainty, what is hope? Second is certainty is hope. And he said, these are the means of this ease and comfort

00:19:11 --> 00:19:13

set by your certainty

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

as the Prophet sallallahu Sallam said

00:19:23 --> 00:19:27

this was reported by listening from Java 11 last

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

night none of you died except one having

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

good thoughts of his

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

thoughts of his Lord the last

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

seven

00:19:45 --> 00:19:57

Mr. Probably whatever the footsie one nap dB, I will be to my server has he has he thinks of me. hosting the VM is extremely important

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

and he

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

You if you have to, if you have bad thoughts of the people, this may get you to have bad thoughts.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:21

If you have bad thoughts of the people, you're all you're always suspicious. Everybody says to you, oh suspicious, and you have got thoughts of the decrease of a loss.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:34

And you're always questioning, why, why why am I here? Why did they lose this? Why do they gain that? Why is my own mothers or

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

wives

00:20:38 --> 00:21:19

this bad thoughts, you always should say you should always have good thoughts in that mercy, justice, fairness with the proper laws, always always, if anyone is to blame, we we are to blame, I am to blame. But before we are to blame pyin to blame us that is where you start, I have to blame then maybe we are to blame as an as a community and then you know, you go out in circles, but most of your introspection, most of your basically

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

reckoning will be self reckoning will start from here from inside, not from yourselves, not from your children, not from your extended family, not from your neighborhood or your community at the masjid is starting here inside, I have to play and then you go out. But at the same time without being too harsh in this criticism.

00:21:48 --> 00:22:08

And having bad thoughts could lead you to having bad thoughts and when everything around you that you think is not working out, when everything is failing, faltering and failing and everything is bad. This would end up making you have bad thoughts of a large decrease and then you have bad thoughts of a loss of credit.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:17

One of the things that you should be doing is to have make the app to Allah subhanaw taala to give you a heart to the

00:22:18 --> 00:22:28

heart of the sound of the heart that will find 70 excuses for your brother or sister before it blames them for any mistake the

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

farmer or the barns

00:22:32 --> 00:22:44

and that's what the righteous predecessor said mama said that you should not blame your brother and then you can find no excuses whatsoever. Or if his if his speech

00:22:45 --> 00:22:51

could have any occasion then that's how he should understand his speech. But

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

there is a there is a particularly beautiful

00:22:58 --> 00:23:14

portrait from suburban house and on the lower on where the profits are the last set is a natural fit, but at least we'll have a callback when people start up on gold and silver you suck up on these words. Then he

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

would repeat it

00:23:18 --> 00:23:19

but he taught them

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

along.

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

On azima calm approach to ally ask you

00:23:30 --> 00:23:36

to steadfastness in business, in business, steadfastness in this affair the

00:23:38 --> 00:23:49

one azima rose and determination on uprightness determination on a price uprightness was shokran aromatic

00:23:52 --> 00:23:53

and they ask you to

00:23:55 --> 00:24:01

hire asked you to enable me to show gratitude

00:24:02 --> 00:24:13

for your favors, diabetic and to perfect your worship to show gratitude for your favors and to perfect your worship. Then he said what

00:24:15 --> 00:24:18

can I ask you for a heart? If you already have

00:24:20 --> 00:24:28

someone who may say why don't you just do it, why don't you work on it without the wise help you cannot really do it. You cannot purify your heart.

00:24:30 --> 00:24:34

Without realizing extremely is impossible without

00:24:36 --> 00:24:57

asking to purified for you. You will do your best you will do the work. You will make use of sacred caution six steps, everything but eventually the purifier the ultimate effector the door this will be over and it will be a lot more purified is your heart he

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

decrease

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

So as Andrew can kind of Ben said, he meant what he said, and so a bit, and I asked you for a heart that it sounds harsh, but that is pure heart that is good. What he said, and

00:25:15 --> 00:25:17

that is truthful,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:21

compensation, even research

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

was

00:25:29 --> 00:25:38

limited in the kantara lembu. Was it my autonomy, they asked you of all the good that, you know,

00:25:40 --> 00:25:48

the becoming champion, seek refuge in You from all the evil that you know, meaning, you know, it

00:25:49 --> 00:25:49

was.

00:25:51 --> 00:26:47

And I have a four year forgiveness from hold that you know, of all of my flaws, all of my shortcomings all of my sins, that you know, that I don't, because many things I can make, I don't know. So forgive me for that which I know of my sense. And for that, which I don't know my sense, in a cantar level you You are the Knower of the unseen, you are the Knower of the unseen. The point here is you need to ask about our hearts, that the sound, the hardware has good thoughts, good thoughts, everyone, you need to even have some good thoughts of yourself. Because it's for note, which is this pair is a giver is destructive. So even that self that you need to be critical of, and

00:26:47 --> 00:26:58

you need to have the self reckoning. But keep in mind that you should not dip yourself into or tip yourself over into that

00:27:00 --> 00:27:07

which has this fear. And you try to get yourself out of that by having some good thoughts, even.

00:27:10 --> 00:27:18

Woman have deep sympathy, for tightness, the vastness with trust and hope. And then he said what?

00:27:19 --> 00:27:27

So these are the first three phases in the first category of people, which is the masses the public.

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

And then he said the fleeing of the select few

00:27:33 --> 00:27:39

minutes to boot from hearing to see him from hearing to see.

00:27:41 --> 00:28:39

He's talking about pain versus identity appeal. The appeal is the knowledge of certainty, either the appeal is certainty based on visit, hindsight, or hardside, hindsight or heart sight, because the hearts can sometimes have greater sight than the eyes than the physical eyes, the eyes of your heart could have greater sight than the eyes of your head. But he wants to move from he saying that the house are now fleeing from cover to cover, which is the evidence based faith, evidence based faith. And that is good, and that is necessary for all of us. And that's how we begin the past. That is how we recognize our must. Why does someone convert is so simple people will tell you, you know, I heard

00:28:39 --> 00:28:51

the parameter that touched my heart, even if they didn't understand that I touched my heart and then it converted. But most of the people who would have gotten there through, you know, reflection, you know,

00:28:53 --> 00:29:17

through basically examination of the evidence, examination of the evidence, and that's the evidence base case. That is the alimony Athene, that is the appeal of certainty based on knowledge based on the evidence, but he says this is not enough and this does not produce the you know the ultimate

00:29:18 --> 00:29:19

energy,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

spiritual energy.

00:29:22 --> 00:29:30

It is the next phase which is I believe, that is the key and based on hindsight,

00:29:31 --> 00:29:36

that is the eyes of your head or for the eyes of your heart. What do you see?

00:29:37 --> 00:29:59

It becomes different, right? When and then there is how could you have been which is the final phase and that is certainty based on truth. The ultimate truth that is when you feel it, there is a difference between hearing about who either seen the water and drinking it.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:04

Drink when you drink the water and quench your thirst, that is happily at the

00:30:05 --> 00:30:14

end, how can you be for us, you know, what you want, you want the basic experience

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

to wake up like the Sahaba

00:30:20 --> 00:30:49

seen, you know a gentleman in front of your eyes, the eyes of your heart have been, which is basically the experience of this May Allah make us of those who have experienced and that is when you enter into gentlemen, that is when you have credit for the final phase of certainty, which is the phase the certainty that is based on actual experience.

00:30:56 --> 00:31:01

He said to me another episode and from images to realities in our resuming.

00:31:02 --> 00:31:05

So he's this person that,

00:31:06 --> 00:31:54

you know, the select few are trying to flee from either shoot from here in the scene. And then they're also trying to leave from assume, you know, also assume here means images. And that also means realities, the images, the images are not to be abandoned, if they are good. If they are basically, he's not saying that you flee from, from images, you abandon them, you sample, you flee, from fixation on images, from images, without realities, to images with realities. So images are the act of the exterior, these are the images of

00:31:55 --> 00:32:13

the active exterior, and some of them belong, you know, some of them are divine, you know, are more deserving of the terminology, images and other groups. Basically, the coupie, for instance, parliamentary or the club, you know,

00:32:15 --> 00:32:18

these are images feed like,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:20

you're

00:32:21 --> 00:32:39

not necessarily bad. But some people could be fixated on those images. Some people could be distracted by those images, it is, when you have things righteous cannot be righteous. It is.

00:32:40 --> 00:33:30

And some people can have this fixation on the images. But some of the images will talk about fours, we're talking about acts of the exterior. So basically how you line up the brain, where you put your hands on your you're above your navel, below your navel, wherever you put them. And these are images, they are not trivial, because of the profit of the time to teach us about them, then they are not trivial. And the profits are paid in a certain way. And he told us some money on Sunday prayers, he prayed, these things are not trivial. You cannot want to shun them or abandon them. You want to practice them as the prophets of Allah did. But if this is all of your mercy,

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

this is all of you get out of

00:33:34 --> 00:33:35

this has already occurred out of

00:33:36 --> 00:33:42

how you line up and how you stand up and where you put your hands and so on.

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

As

00:33:46 --> 00:33:53

you can see how maybe you will be exempt from you know, this particular credit, you

00:33:55 --> 00:33:58

will be counted for you as a valid prayer. Because

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

that is what you're getting. That is only you're giving, but the whole show is the essence of the Salah. And if you're missing out on that, then you're missing out on much.

00:34:11 --> 00:34:20

These are the realities, the realities of the acts of worship. Now we have two different groups of people that have been basically

00:34:23 --> 00:34:59

for each other. It means like highwayman because the past two are lots of panels and they stand on both ends or two sides of the road. And they just try to carve the path. You have the people who are fixated on, on the images, fixated on the result, you know, like a good sized beard than the poofy and everything and then the prayers of Captain armor every couple of years or maybe every

00:35:00 --> 00:35:08

Six months, all of us doing well, but then the first time we get into a conflict or get into a conflict with them,

00:35:10 --> 00:35:13

why aren't these just like in the

00:35:17 --> 00:35:27

Orient a business partnership or you marry the get married to them or anything like that, you get to know them, you get to know their interior.

00:35:29 --> 00:35:49

Those people cause the another group of people to to basically have this interests and they want to look for the realities, the they yearn for the realities, things that would change you from inside.

00:35:50 --> 00:36:04

So, those people started to have less emphasis on the images, the forms the exterior, and look for purifying the interior, so that they are not

00:36:06 --> 00:36:11

the first one properly, because the path that they obstruct people

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

have lost.

00:36:14 --> 00:36:21

And those people that they obstruct their path a lot could be Muslims, or non Muslims, you know, the Indian or non Muslims acting,

00:36:22 --> 00:36:28

in these ways, is certainly obstructing the path of the Muslims acting in this way, obstruct the path of people to

00:36:30 --> 00:36:36

hold on. So those people felt that people have this fixation on the exterior, our

00:36:37 --> 00:36:40

heart is corrupted, and they're there.

00:36:42 --> 00:37:24

They don't know where. So they made the enormous mistake of belittling the forms, the images, the acts of the exterior that the Prophet taught us. The Prophet taught us those things, to be a foundation. This is how you should stand before online prayer. And then pay attention to the most important price, you know, that you get out of the prayer, your connection with Alaska is the price. But this is how you, this is how you write your petition. This is how you write. But eventually writing the petition in a good language and

00:37:25 --> 00:37:44

presenting the petition in a good way does not mean that you will be granted your request. But this is how you should write your petition, should you say I don't care about writing the petition, I don't care about No, you have to care about how to write the potential.

00:37:45 --> 00:37:51

So eventually, those people and then some that are

00:37:52 --> 00:37:56

mixed with those people. And then they started,

00:37:57 --> 00:38:18

not just to be lifted the importance or the you know, give them the fixation on the exterior, the shunted acts of the exterior, you see, there's some of them and they just click pretty quick, fascinating, because after all, fasting is required, if I can get to piety without fasting, but that is what matters. And

00:38:19 --> 00:38:20

that is

00:38:22 --> 00:38:37

because the golden standard is the Prophet and his companions always refer to the gold standard go back to the gold standard of the prophets of Solomon as companions Have they ever served in the acts of the exterior so that they could verify the theorems

00:38:39 --> 00:39:37

that came to the heart, if the soldiers of the kingdom disperse and run away Is that like a good game is not an effective powerful King. No. So you can say the king is seven control and the soldiers have run away from the king and they did this first. So the soldiers are here lives, you know, your eyesight, your hearing your hands, all of those, if they if the king is in control, the heart is in control, that would be the would be in compliance and keep this in mind. So the shape is never talking about fleeing from the symptom. So like he meant, you know, you abandon the act of the exterior for the interior qualities and realities. Absolutely not. He's actually talking he started

00:39:37 --> 00:39:59

with you know, the knowledge has the first foundation and all of these common properties each other and you do not deconstruct that as you can, if you are in a building any deconstruct the first floor. Can you have a second floor? Absolutely not. It's just campaign get buried in the air. So these are left

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

That you build on top of each other. But keep in mind that many people are people have resume, people have images, not realities. And until you seek those realities, you don't get them.

00:40:15 --> 00:40:16

And then he said women

00:40:18 --> 00:40:30

were still in a class of the select few. So they're fleeing from hearing to see in the pleading for primitive realities and they are fleeing from

00:40:32 --> 00:40:37

the dream from attachment desirables to shutting them off

00:40:39 --> 00:40:42

is anything that is desirable by you.

00:40:43 --> 00:40:44

And then

00:40:45 --> 00:40:49

you know what the Jade means, you know

00:40:51 --> 00:40:58

accurate means transparent that could mean here minimalism means checking

00:40:59 --> 00:41:16

in. So, it basically is shaping up all of those attachments to desires. But keep in mind, keep in mind that we are very good at detecting the obvious desires.

00:41:17 --> 00:41:35

You know, food, * power, obvious desires, but there are lots of other desirables. We have a very contracted awareness of the desirables of our colleagues, eagles. Because many people could survive

00:41:36 --> 00:42:14

with very, with less food and less, you know, enjoyments, physical carnal bodily enjoyments the enjoyment of the flesh, but the enjoyment of the ego are the hardest to give up, you know, here, here here, there are enjoyments of the flesh, and then the enjoyment of the ego recognition, acceptance, leadership distinction, these are the enjoyments of the ego, right? They are the hardest to give up. That's why the righteous predecessors said a man could easily give up food and you know sexual pleasures

00:42:16 --> 00:42:20

and money you know, the

00:42:22 --> 00:42:35

but when it comes to leadership, if anyone competes with him for leadership, he will fight for it, he will fight for it, you know, like a lion.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:59

You know, this, this distinction? Everybody wants to have their own distinction. You know, that looks, you know, even piety by itself could be a form of distinction. That is who you are you seek with your piety with your practice with your goodness

00:43:01 --> 00:43:19

and not like them. I am different and better. So it's important to pay attention to these rules. These are desirables of the ego, not the flesh, because these are the ones that we often miss. were very good at

00:43:20 --> 00:43:52

some, you know not not everybody. Some people are also attached to the desires of the flesh to a great extent. But you know, the little bit advanced seekers can give up the attachments to those attachments, the desires of the flesh, but when it comes to the desires of the ego becomes much harder. And then he said what are our costs are the costs and then clean the fleeing of the potholes.

00:43:54 --> 00:43:57

the playing of the topmost is from that is

00:43:58 --> 00:44:10

from all that is beside the true one to the true one. That from beholding one's fleeing to be holding the true one than fleeing from fleeing to the true one to the true.

00:44:11 --> 00:44:42

So he's saying that they are closer and closer. And keep in mind as I told him as I think I wrote this himself that the highest station is not when you're when all of this is absent from your shoe. The highest patient is when you have complete awareness of all the realities of who you are, what you're doing. But here

00:44:43 --> 00:44:52

he said that Toronto Billahi min of Wahidullah. So, why is he saying this? He says he says

00:44:53 --> 00:44:59

happiness from all that is besides the 212 the true one is clear. And then from the whole

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

So, nothing is distracting you from your journey to the true one and then from beholding one's fleeing to be holding the true one. Now, it is important he points out a concept that is important, but don't basically exaggerate the concept and that is important and that is why

00:45:21 --> 00:45:37

the word Salafism means referring back to the gold standard, the Sabbath the righteous predecessors, once you make it into a sec, it becomes sectarianism.

00:45:39 --> 00:45:39

There is

00:45:41 --> 00:46:03

you ruin once you make it into a group or sect, it becomes sectarianism and you ruin it. And you basically cause the people to have an aversion to it must be given as a concept, a concept that is shared by all of us Muslims, whenever we Muslims disagree not only in pathology, but also

00:46:05 --> 00:46:32

whenever they disagree, to remind themselves have we become too technical have we, you know, drifted away from the objectives of this era and become too technical to detail in a way that the setup the righteous predecessors, the first three generations particularly the first one generation, the first generation, the Sahaba, of the prophet SAW center was not

00:46:33 --> 00:46:42

in the way primitive way. So, we remind ourselves of this concept of this gold standard of this gauge material

00:46:44 --> 00:47:11

and then into some, if we, you know, become excessive, and if we talk about concepts that are unrealistic and unattainable, then we remind ourselves that has this been the way of the righteous predecessors? Is this the gold standard is this how the Prophet and the companions used to act or used to be or you used to preach, and then then the concept itself was served.

00:47:12 --> 00:47:24

A great favor would be of great importance when rescue the oma from so much deviation, but should be a concept, not

00:47:25 --> 00:48:13

a concept, Cranston. Now, if someone subscribes to this concept and begins to describe this crime, in the sense of an adjective, as holding on to the way of the setup, which is sarahfey, he should not take on that title. And you should not take on the title of Sufi, because that is the scale to neffs you're saying if you're saying set up, you're so you're saying I am, I am. Just don't take on any titles. But if you have if you are described by someone as a Sufi, Sufi, or a setup fee, superior setup your Sophie, these are good meanings. You know, Sufism is about purification of the heart Salafism, as well as returning back to the gold standard of the Sahaba. They both are valid

00:48:13 --> 00:48:23

meanings could meanings and if you can combine them, that would be fine. But do not give yourself any titles, it is enough to say I'm Muslim,

00:48:25 --> 00:48:25

stuffing

00:48:27 --> 00:49:14

and keep these concepts as concepts as beautiful concepts. So then you see if it's talking about, you know, for fleeing from beholding once the to be holding the tumor, because if you're fleeing to the to Allah subhanaw taala. And you're observant and watchful, mindful of your fleeing, get that you're mindful of your own actions, but you're not seeing that who you are you without a katana, could you have been fleeing now to him. So if you become arrogant, if these became arrogant, because of his worship, you could become arrogant because you're fleeing and get to our last breath out and you're fleeing and you covered a lot of distance and you got ahead of your peers, you could be

00:49:14 --> 00:49:25

looking behind the senior beer. So behind, and you're watching that you were fleeing, and you're watching the tickover visits and you're watching that you're getting closer, and you become arrogant and you destroy yourself.

00:49:26 --> 00:49:59

And he destroys it. So he's telling you why you're fleeing. Don't watch your own free. Watch him. He gave you the power, he gave you that energy. He guided you to him and give you the energy to fleet and he brought you closer to him. So don't watch your own theme. Watch his assistance, watch the support. And then he said then fleeing from fleeing to the true one to the trouble. So you flee from fleeing him. This is basically a point to

00:50:00 --> 00:50:00

Where,

00:50:01 --> 00:50:20

and I should have written almost vanishes when I said that your your will vanishes into his will. So, there is no need for leaving anymore because your will have vanished into his will, you will not accept what God wills, like

00:50:23 --> 00:51:22

the magic to that none of you would have faced until his desires are compliant with conforming with that his desires conform with that which I have brought to you for that which I have brought for the purposes of talking about the revelation. So your desires will be compliant, consistent with conforming to that the deen with Islam, with what the prophets have taught us can give to us. And that is when your will conforms with the Divine Will. But this is not that you will will dalish gold standard. Did you know if you have paid, did you ask a lottery leave this pay you as collateral leave this way. There is there are different wheels here, you're petitioning to holla to relieve

00:51:22 --> 00:51:25

your pain. So there are different wheels. And

00:51:27 --> 00:51:28

Ibrahim said was

00:51:30 --> 00:51:50

very cranky, a good mention on the tongues of others or Asians, you know, all of the FBI means that there is someone who is making there are someone who is is being called upon which is a loss of time. And this is a recognition awareness of my

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

my

00:51:53 --> 00:51:54

state as a

00:51:55 --> 00:51:56

needy,

00:51:57 --> 00:52:17

parent, Allah state as the powerful, mighty Lord. So, your will will vanish into almost vanished into the web of Allah. In this sense, it is qualified in the sense that you do not think any more of marceia said

00:52:19 --> 00:52:54

obedience becomes natural to you second nature to you. So, like you do not think of the pleasure of the mafia because it's not pleasurable to you anymore. It's not pleasant to you anymore. When you think of the people, you know, fantasize about it, it is repulsive to you, It disgusts you, you know, because your will have already conformed to the Divine Will. And that is what the

00:52:55 --> 00:53:16

law means here. By fleeing properly, there is no more clean getting more, no more clean, because your will has completely now conform to his web and subsisted by his will subsisted by his work, which is the concept of

00:53:18 --> 00:53:32

the law. Believe that subsisted by his wit, and with his assistance and his support. So ultimately, you're fleeing Biola

00:53:33 --> 00:53:51

minima he kilala Biola. from Allah to Allah. There is no escape from him, except to him by him by his assistance. There is no escape from him, except to him by him by his assistance assistance.
