Manazil as-Sa’ireen #32 – Chapter on Delegation

The batteries

carry them

we're just waiting for the battery's pretty heavy to hear me in the back

maybe from start

learn from the last

video

proceed until today we have over the fleet and Beverly mela the rest of the bubbly mama for the chapter on the mama leading the salon

in babauta fleet or the chapter where the station of the fleet which is delegation

not only started his movement as

part of this chapter by saying Padilla was agenda hockey and

I wanna Emery

in the lovable serum been a bad philosopher said quoting the believer of the family of federal

law and I delegate my affair to Allah in the Lucha

Indeed Allah is seeing of his service.

I did not find some identified any translator who actually use litigate in this if

they did not use delegates to use interest in other words,

but we will you know, we have the concept of this lien which is surrender the concept of second, which is trust, the concept of reliance which has come up. So we want to have a word for the concept of we

have there is no better word than delegation, even though delegation is usually used. When someone that against a matter or unfair to an assistant to subordinate or an equal, we can use delegation here with emphasis that this is a different type of delegation. You're delegating your affair to Allah subhanaw taala to your Lord.

The old hearing the old seer unipotent this year. So this is a different type of delegation, a delegation of this nature, wiring your complete

sort of surrender out here complete comfort after you litigate another lawsuit

and hear complete dismissal of your housing problem, your influence and power

And acknowledgement of his influence and power. So this is a different type of delegation, you're delegating to your Lord, your affairs,

said, and this is where we

disagree on his muscular development, how are we because they're disagreeing over the relationship between

the value of the two stations, which station is greater than the other out the relationship between them. We did talk about this last time, we did say that the loved one thing. So there is a fee to be part and integrity part of the code. Whereas the no matter how he sees our code, without the complete, so he sees that our code was output of we he sees a fee to be a different concept that our code is short of it, that we is beyond thought code transcends. And this is a difference in

for not in meaning it's a difference in semantics, not a difference in substance, because at the end of the day, they are saying that both concepts are versus clouds and the concepts that we have to uphold whether the amount of pay puts it under puts the freedom under collected at any level, how do we separate them? So remember how we will start this comparison because we don't put out the fleet, the lions and delegation. He says about the fleet will offer for each item will always sell Magnum minute Our goal is 500 conferences, inferences and more comprehensive in meaning than tobacco reliance. He will then explain why he says for in DOD cola

is seven. What we're gonna cover now.

Welcome.

Because color coding takes place after the occurrence of its warranty cause maybe this is how we should translate it it's it's a better translation to put there because the lab coat takes place after the occurrence of its wearing thing triggering provoking

cause what have we thought about the health of weeds, which is litigation takes place before and after?

That he goes on to say, well, who is this better? So the fleet designer is dispatched a fleet is at the heart of surrender, submission, sort of

what color will show up but two men who were asked what is a branch of it, not the heart of it but a branch and then he will start the classification. What is he trying to say here and then army Trump is trying to say that. So what happens after the occurrence of

its provoked, it is not a state that is ongoing. It is provoke something happens to you.

Something threatens you,

you are embarking on a journey. You're embarking on an adventure

anything, something wirings you to rely on a lot as if you are now embarking on something or fearing for something and you say to Allah subhanaw taala protect me Help me this or that. Now you are relying on the assistance of a love when you have been provoked to do so. But he envisions completely different is when you're always

dedicating your affairs your your entire life here and just your entire course of life your entire journey. In this life you're delegating it to all of us in front of us. So you want a market plan for you, you are taught to listen and certain of your inability to discern between good and evil between theater will hire some

for you between that which is a benefit for you and that which is harmful. How many How often do we do this? How

Muscovado as Ross and Vikram say what they remember was a Motorola coup. You may perhaps you may like something and it is

back for you, and you are harmful for you. And you may like something or you may dislike something,

you may dislike something that's good for you, and you may like something and it is bad for you. So

the person will fall with someone who is basically counting on a loss choices for him on a loss planning for him,

just leaves himself to the plans of a loss

like the leaf of a tree and the course of the wind, that's the morpho conformal foam.

And we will come back and say that this does not mean that they will not be planning and that you will not be taking precautions.

But that but you put together different

points point out that we have a fleet. So he says that listen, stop what happens after the price of wheat happens before and after.

He says that

it may also mean that, you know, the patella can engages the causes, and then relies on the assistance of Allah subhanaw taala. And,

you know, then against the whole affair to have lots of problems either prior to the call, engaging the causes, prior to engaging the causes.

In all honesty, I agree

with in our times defense of the station of the

fleet as part of Philip.

And the reason why I agree, who was in defense of the station of color code is that it has been mentioned so many times in the parameter segment of the profit, it's a description of the profit in the profits of the lawyer separate, who is the best,

you know, the motor carrier and the best of the move forward be in the best health. It wants to be in the land this suddenly mean stunning

the prophets of Allah Simon himself was described, even in the previous books, as Alberto was afraid to come without authority or authority submitted to this report.

loss that he was described in the previous books. Allah subhanaw taala said You are my slave and messenger Hi, give you the name of Allah Muto African.

Allah commands the prophets, Allah subhanaw taala happened to be, and so many times talk with is, you know, rely on us for value or the truth or the manifestos. And so many times so many times on the front end, but but it's mentioned at an upgrade of argues that the fleet has been only mentioned when quoting to the believer of for our souls. So he

says the fleet is part of the Yeah.

When at the moment, how do we separate the between the income how are we may be, it is important to also to not disregard or to dismiss. Another problem is separation, because we thought for for you, because may be winter electrical comes across our bodies, our minds with output, not the output of the Prophet sallallahu said, not that

he commanded the prophet SAW some information. But maybe when the concept of dog could we take this keep in mind that the word itself

which is basically can

rely on someone, or to get power of attorney to someone to make someone you're with Ed or agents, you're at therapy, that concept itself, or that the word in itself may impact our perception of the concept. So we may be thinking of the Word of God, like like someone who, you know, plans to make a plan and then

engages the causes, he takes

steps and and then he says to Allah subhanaw taala now I want this, I want your assistance to procure or attainment or

I want your assistance. Whereas he says that I found one

that is not even is not even certain what you want, but like, you know, he does make plans and so on. But he said to a lot whatever you decide for me, I'm pleased with whatever you decide this site for me that which is good for me, and make me pleased with it,

as we say in godless akattak isn't that what we say? God

compound

squats can go a

long

way, by simply

simply

providing

some of the biggie so a lot of us Matata

we don't do that I'm sure we'll need to get the most out of it, I'll do a bit of stuff running the script manual,

some of the

Can somebody be London in

London come to

me

afterwards

and still be sympathetically teamwork

at the international community, sort of formulas for piano therapists lit up. So, that last part, what are they afraid of? So Kevin, then the cream for the fire, which is good wherever you know, wherever it is, or whatever you deem to be good for me somehow maybe, and then make the pleaser content make me content with that which you chose for me. So that is the attitude of a follower.

So can they prefer being that which is good, and then make any content with that which you have decreed.

So it is important that when we have talked about we are we have

what we include hopefully, but on top of because it is very vital that you're not counting down the assistance of a law after you've made up your mind, you're counting on the assistance of a law before and after. And you're counting on a loss planning for you even before you embark on anything or before you're you feel any threat, or you aspire for anything, it is just an attitude in your life, that you are counting on his plans for you, which we will come back to saying does not mean that you will not be planning for yourself.

But since we're at the

end know, so we say that you're and this is an important concept, the you know, the concept of your your planning, like the Prophet who's the best without the prophet SAW some of the most the best some of our the prophet SAW seller who's the best last, they love the prophets of Mr. Burns, musculoskeletal in the province of Law Center, did he plan for his for his Ninja, then he planned for his balance, then he plan in

Canada, then he made all the provisions necessary provisions he that therefore all of this planning and engaging the process is not compared to the fleet because the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is the best performer. So what this stuff with in this case mean, if you're if you're planning and you're you're making careful, precise plans, careful, precise, fast and engaging the process like anyone else, like anyone else.

Any human being here engaging the process, you're following the same rules, universal rules, your universal laws, the last modified instead of the universe like everyone else. So we have in this case is your recognition, it is the harmala it is the work of art that is your complete recognition that whatever my plans are, they may not be the best planets. This is just the best, the best place to me, this is just as much as I can tell.

Now, this is as much as I can send Now, therefore I will act upon my convictions. You know, my findings, my conclusions have this point. You have to be completely aware that they may not be the perfect brands. That's awesome.

Awesome.

Well, we are going to let

you do that.

And then you have to be completely certain of your lack of habit and how your complete lack of how to improve and disavow and dismiss and disavow this Oh your how to improve your influence and power. You are certain that whatever you do, what Longfellow

and ally created you and that which you do that energy is creative, the movements of my hands history, I would have never been able to create the energy that made me able to move my hands up or down or collaborate with

created our actions. In this case, when you want you have all of this and then also the form with keeps in mind the insignificance of this life compared to the hereafter and insignificance of the events of this life compared to the hereafter. And he is working for the greater prize and the bigger prize, which is in the in the year after, and he knows that, you know, after elections and that and tests and trials and dystonia, if they wouldn't get him to the right place, they are worth it. And they are welcome, if we will get them to the right place. If I will pass the test of poverty, then then that is certainly certainly much more welcomed than the test of wealth or

prosperity that I will face, right? Absolutely. Every one should be certain of this, and will follow has all of this in mind, therefore it will follow it will have no anxiety, no is it no one anxiety, no agitation, no haste,

and no Machiavellianism in his actions. pull them back up, bankability himself may have not been that Machiavellian. But

whenever people think of him,

and

no

and no grief, and no matter

what debilitating grief maybe we should qualify.

Some anxiety is healthy here that anxiety doesn't actually make you study for what is healthy is the incapacitating anxiety of the believers or not.

Some grief is healthy, the province of Southern mourn the death

in malaise. So some grief is healthy, but it is the debilitating grief that is, you know, that is not befitting of a Muslim. So, incapacity in xiety, no improper haste no Machiavellian is no in the sense of that people think of it but it's not going to have you know the

sudden come across. So it might be that the seven ends justify the means in Islam, we have a different version of them. And Machiavelli said this because he did not see any compatibility between you know, Christian, the Christian concept of goodness and effective governance, but Machiavelli the Nazi Armada Hopper, have you seen all that he would have been able to see someone who was capable of basically combining the two constant niceness and effectiveness seamlessly simultaneously and seamlessly, effectively, sometimes it requires assertiveness, sometimes it requires

force, you know, to some extent, so But But anyway, Muslims should should not have this incapacitating anxiety, Muslims should not have haste.

Also, when you want to, like build a muscle, you feel like you are sometimes we don't have complete and we feel we are

and we are in charge of this league. And we are the protectors of this the the concept itself is not particularly about chromosomes.

But it has to be quantified. It has to be fine to that has to be adjusted. I grew up at a time where the Islamic awakening was at its peak. You know, when I when I was a child, and we were sitting in the master cabinets in Alexandria, Egypt, we were being taught that each and every one of us should be like a robot. You know, when he said

I am puzzolana Hi, I am Cusco, which means I am proud to be one and I should be in the village.

What, while I'm alive when he was talking about about fighting number 15, fighting to pastors, and he said to him in Nevada, you know, the revelation is as sees, you know, after the prophet SAW the southern person, the revelation ceased. I am

sure they let it diminish they fade out while I'm alive. Should they see the DMV? The concept is a beautiful concept. However, however, if you think that you are a bit of a worker was the governor

of the Muslim state probably had, you know, the Sahaba around the the best generations around. If you think that you have the concept from your corner

you're lifting a quarter. Yes, do as much as you can reach your full potential, your full potential from your lifting corner. But to think that it's your radio back, that is a psychiatric disorder

that is not righteousness, that is that is delusion. And whoever thinks that he is really going to be a likable buck will be delusional.

And then this delusion will be extremely consequential, extremely consequential, if you take matters

into your own hands, and you start to act like you basically act on behalf of them without any delegation from them without any

basically power of attorney from the owner problem.

So,

the person that has the wheel is a person that will not make haste, a person that will not be delusional, a person that would work from his corner from his place, point in place and time for within his capacity, no pays

no cheating. And no ends justifies the means, although the cabinet mocassin which means that the rulings of the means will

depend on the rulings of the ends will follow the rulings of the ends. But that's a different concept from ends justify the means it still qualify, it does not mean that all you know it does not mean that all good

ends will justify any good any good or bad means or any boundaries.

So that there will be no Ace, there will be no anxiety, there will be no end justifies the means. There will be no grief or anger afterwards. That's the debilitating grief and so it is before during and after that will follow it will have no anxiety before no incapacitating and anxiety before he embarks on the action. Without no haste he would wait. You know, if it is not playing for us to build the mustard, we would wait until it is time to build the master. And meanwhile, or if it is not time for us to start, like an organization or to start like an Islamic school or to start an Islamic college, we would wait until we have the proper resources to start things properly, no

haste. And then during the action also there will be no ends justify the means.

After the auction, there will be no debilitating grief and no anger

is if Allah subhanaw taala closes the door for you, then you will follow that the other door he'll just whatever other doors have been open, that you will follow those doors. That concept itself of you know, your hearts being completely surfing and completely certain of the laws how to improve were completely comfortable with this delegate to rely on lots of prototypes, while

doing your best isn't constantly that way when you have that will be easy for us and seamless for us if we have understand the true nature of the bat, it is about determinism and choice and Free Will it is at the end of the day about understanding that

they are compatible. There is actually this is this is actually a philosophical arbiter whether determinism and freewill are compatible or not. This is not just about Islam. This is a an argument among philosophers it are these two concepts compatible according to understand that determinism and freewill are compatible. architect Peter predestination you know is compatible with freewill and the litmus paper test that they always use is here.

Okay, so

inshallah, if God wills I will bring this bottle of water from the floor and put it on the table. Now inshallah

This is enough free wealth to make me morally responsible.

Isn't

it is I made that you know, I made the decision. I made that choice. This is enough free work to make me more

responsible, the fact that this action itself was created by Allah and Allah is in complete control of it, and had he not wait for this to take place, I would have been distracted the roof of Africa labs, you know, my hand would have been paralyzed, many, many, there could have been tons of possibilities, many possibilities. So, but this is enough for you work to make me more responsible, and to make me responsible in the cyclical bus protocol and accountable for my deeds, good, good and bad. inshallah, I will take this photo and put it back on the floor.

Actually, I was distracted for a second. So it actually is work, because I was distracted, because I meant to take it immediately. But it didn't happen. You know, I waited for maybe two, three seconds,

notice them, and then I

actually, that's a good demo.

But reconciling the two concepts, may not be reconciled to concepts in your mind may not be completely sort of easy. may not you may not be able to comprehend

that reconciliation completely as a human being.

But

interest needs understand that he has keep in mind that determinism is not only an established concept,

this is a philosophical concept. You know, the most deterministic of all, people must be the atheists. Right? what you were thinking that they are not, but they must be the most determinist of all people. Because if this is just about matter, if this universe is just matter, then everything there is not divine determinism, but there is cosmic determinism. Because if the universe came about from the Big Bang, then it is predetermine mathematically predetermine, because it's just matter. That the concept of free choice and free will, is basically superstition, should be superstitious about atheists. Because it is just matter. And it was created at one point, and everything is

predetermined from that moment of the Big Bang. You know, everything is cosmically pre determined. So atheists are the most determinist people. So the concept of determinism or the concept of predestination is not just an Islamic concept, you know, people realize that we don't we're not just for most people, because there are those people who believe in free will, but most people realize that it is not as

whether they are the compatibilist to want to reconcile between which some of them are all sorts of determinists. And you know, for soft on the choice, the son of the choice,

but in generally speaking, they're called soft determinist

or non compatibilist, who say that they cannot be combined free will and determinism cannot be combined. Some of them will choose the side of determinism, some of them will choose the side of freewill, they can plow through the swamp tried to combine between them. So, as Muslims, we should be comfortable with that reconciliation. We should be compatibilist we should bring together the two concepts. So why is the creator yes the energy that I'm using now to move my hand is created by a lot of rebel our move to bring this up and put it on the table is created by law school my father, but yet I can make a decision act on it and that is enough to make me morally responsible and

responsible in the sight of a Muslim phenomenon.

Okay, so then

plus leads is the recognition of the heart that his arm at the top is the action of the heart Mater Madison, if this is the recognition of the heart and if this is the actual bar, this is a modifier of what we mentioned that will lead to this note incapacitating anxiety no is no impropriety No cheating and no debilitating grief.

Pour anger afterwards, then what are we talking about artists in the world as well as individuals.

And it is the levels of we just feel at

the bar for a little bit.

The first is to know that before any action, the slave owns no power. The first is to know that before any action, the slave has no power or influence.

So they should not feel safe from the last place, no matter how strong they are, and how intelligent they already know that their products are unknown to our

favorite magazine, and they plug

and play others because in numbers from X to one on a, you know, handful of our

messengers are writing that they are plotting, our costs are known to us, our plots are not known to them. So that's why we're the best fathers.

And then what I assume in my own, so when he knows that he has no power of influence, then he will never feel safe, no matter how strong and he is from the plus of Allah, what I so in order or despair of his health, no matter how weak that person is, he would never despair of a Muslim because he knows that, you know, I was in control of all things. And how many stories can can we tell about someone who's always afraid from his supervisor, and then, you know, before he knew his supervisor was fine, you know, that that's very

frightening finger at the top of the company or wherever there was time, before he was able to cause you any harm, what I will add earlier, or counter, so you know that Omar belongs to law, so you do not count on so on counts on their own intention, you do not count on your own, eventually you do not count and you're on your own resolve, because of lack of change your the lack of exhaust your results. So you you intend to do something even good. You're counting on your good intention, you know, I want to do this thing, which is good. But you would know it is really good. And you don't know if you know, you won't be able to keep your intention straight. And I want to do it for a

while.

You know, so I have a moment now that I know that this is a good thing for my community, and I really want to do with our boss.

Don't count on your media. Don't trust God. Because even now, when you're sitting in your bedroom and making that resolve, your million may be corrupt, or it may get corrupted and

your resolve may become exhausted by Allah has one point. So count on his help and assistance. Don't count on your good intention or your good resolve. Then he sounded knowledge as a third Nehemiah. The second is to behold the inevitability of faith

in an inevitability of faith, faith, determinism.

So they will not see salvation in any action, because they know that their salvation is by the grace of God only lampoon or

Karbala.

None of you will enter the agenda by his actions, even your messenger of Allah, even, except if I'm not gonna disclose his mercy on me.

Then, when I was in Panama,

for destruction, and he said he does not see destruction in any sin. Why? Because the penitent will always have the doors of a loss of father open to him. So he will not see his destruction in any setting or he will not see the destruction of anyone in any sin, because the doors are going to be continuously open for dependents.

When I set up an IRA,

he will not see any effect in any cause.

You know, any

effect in any cause. Keep in mind that we believe the process leads to the effects by the creation of Allah subhanaw taala and by the web and permission of Allah subhanaw taala. So here Here is the contingency that we as believers add, we know that we know that clauses lead to their effects. We act like this, like everyone else will come down here. What if your boss even saw this ad?

Now in the last set, he put the provisions in into it

in 4k is equally accessible to the seekers who will treat this planet will treat everybody the same way. And the profits of sub seven tomorrow will be awarded on the first of the year. Because the affairs of your 30 year are based on the universal laws of a law, that do not state that you should have basically discovered yourself and figure out yourself.

But at the same time, we do believe this. So we do believe that the fire burns, and that is why you should be careful around fire and that's why you should warn your kids not to come close to the fire. And that's why you should hear from the fire the hereafter. But we believe that fire burns with the permission of Allah and if he if he did not permit it to burn this will not burn abroad, even the lights will not cut the smile and so on. And

so, that's the concept of he does not see if you know any cause to be effective effective by itself inherently effective, it is effective by the making of a lot not inherit the

authoritative status and the third is about

third degree is about tune in for that help to deliberately inherited your Sony or company or bus, it is beholding the singularity of the two, one and half the true one concern is complete control of motion and stimulus and giving and withholding. And that like we said in the beginning will help you make tough wheat, you know, basically,

the surgeon and assure that Allah is in control, complete control of motion and stillness and the planet.

You know, the opposites will come to your boss giving

them to

the faculty and also knowing the proper administration.

If that's your own knowledge, your own understanding your own recognition, but asleep at the frequency of journal, you know how, you know the proper administration of their affairs in their state in the states of multiplicity of their conditions and gentlemen, union with with one come together and this was the one

we did talk about this several times before, it's a very important concept in Sufism, that to understand what the what is meant by the physical exam and understand that study art from prior versions version of the SDR compliance concept of the free Panza and how you could combine between them and how you should be cognizant of both different times. The second is dispersion

is certainly dispersion. But the third part is variants difference, multiplicity. And this refers to the multiplicity of your conditions, multiplicity that you have different circumstances of different times allows different demands of you during those different types, right? When it is time to host your, to basically entertain your guests or to host your guests, it's time to host your guests, when it's time to come to the drama or Jamal, it's time to come to the gym, or when it is time to be in Victor or enjoying the answer, you know, intimacy of victory, then it is time to the victory when it is time to be into how to it's time to be if you happen to be in business. There is a time for

everything, there is a primary. This is basically

this is basically the multiplicity of your conditions, you know, and the good and the bad, and the hardship and the ease and you're being tested by hardship, to demonstrate squat, patience and European tested by ease and wealth and to demonstrate one show and so on. This is over the top. But contempt is the union is basically the recognition that all of this comes from the true one from

the origin of all of this as one, all of your different professional circumstances are coming from day one. So ease and hardship will be almost the same. Almost the same? Yes, you are a human being and certainly, you know you prefer his or her to come to us to ask us used to prescribe for us to ask us for our fear, safety, you know, but recognizing that all of these are tests coming from Masada. That's a moment of gentlemen that is the moment of union with the one or

beneath all of this, that is the moment of athletic Mohamed, when he said, Hi, you were seeing the hand of the guard, I was seeing the hands of Allah, hi, I was being flooded by the decree of Allah, by the hand of the guard, but ultimately, by the decree of Allah, He decreed it. So that's why I was smiling, I was content with his decree, when you were weeping over my suffering, I was content with his decree. So at some point of gentlemen can mastering this and we'll repeat it over and over, because mastering this is a is very important for us. So that's where having different sort of status, so that we are not basically

favoring, you know, power once of a loss of over his ones of us

and knowing how to act and how to administer our lives, our time in the software programs, recognizing the multiplicity of recreations and creative phenomena, and the oneness of the Creator and the originator of the crease.

That's it with the station of the fleet and we will continue to basically dissect the station of the code and just he will talk about the station of setup which is trust part of the station of Tilak. But sitcom, you know, it has different influences. In other words, the car has different influences from the worker worker, even though as far as part of the station, it is not

inappropriate to simulate.

So, to highlight that concept of trust in the last part, and then he will talk about the sleep part of the station of faculty, even when he moves to the next section of the book, when he talks about some random part of the station of thought there is no

there is no taquito Delta without contentment to you know, so you rely on them or decrease something for you and then show the splitter to Allah subhanaw taala This is not this is not the topic of the Prophet sallallahu Sallam even though you may think it is but it is not called Hello stuff.
