00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			100 allows us
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:08
			to proceed
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:19
			solo today we have the station of Nina or serenity and we will have the chapter on advanced payment
says which is a solemn
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
			firstly moment how do we know Lata and his book Bonanza serene said candelas
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			under the station of serenity to Medina, he said God Allah
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			Allah Almighty said oh reassured soul,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:51
			man would be the mind as the object adjective from Tama Nina and if you call Tama Nina, serenity,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:01:00
			then it would be all you sold with serenity or who has endowed with serenity or how serenity
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:12
			but it is also reassured and it is also comfortable it is also you know, because these are all
different things that are basically
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:29
			implied. When you speak about menina. It's implied that there is comfort, it is implied that there
is assurance it is implied that there is nrps. It is implied that there is
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:50
			also Sakina. We talked about last time, tranquility. And we'll start here by talking about the
definition of Toma, Nina and he will pay particular attention to the difference between Tama Nina
and Sakina.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:54
			Because
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:11
			oftentimes those words are interdependent and they overlap. They are interrelated. But they are not
completely synonymous. They are they overlap. They partially overlap. They don't completely overlap,
partial overlap.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			So she
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			said to me, Nina, to serenity,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:32
			is a quiescence that is, buttressed by valid security it's strengthened by valid security, which is
similar in certainty to the witness of the eye.
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:39
			So up to many inasa kulanu kawi, Amnon Sahil shabby 1 billion
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:53
			serenity is a quiescence that is buttress strengthen by valid security, which is similar in
certainty to the witness of the eye.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:58
			So basically, what he said valid security
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:13
			because, you know, we are on a journey in this life. And on this journey, it is somewhat a
parentless journey.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:21
			cause anxiety, cause discomfort causes this composure.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:29
			And we do need security on the way
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:36
			some of the security is valid security. Some of the security is invalid security.
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:57
			And he's talking here about money now, that is real, not fake. That money and that is based on valid
security Amnon sahaya, valid security, the security that comes about when you have
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:11
			when you have the right relationship with your Creator, the origin, where we all came from, if you
have the right relationship with the origin
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:23
			then you will have this valid security. Otherwise, Can people have a fake sort of Toma Nina
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:32
			that comes up from invalid security? Yes, heedlessness will make a lot of people comfortable.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:53
			You know, and many times a lot of people run away from religion because they just don't want to
entertain the thought of an afterlife and recommend and they don't want to entertain the thought of
tech leaf is basically the burdens of obligation.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			The burden of obligation the burden of being required to do certain things
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			And to be eliminated from doing nor barred from certain things. That's a burden.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:15
			So Allah subhanaw taala says about those people in Arizona Department our auto bill hieratic, donia
What man obeah
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			Latino Mona Tina, hope you like neural networks you.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:28
			So in olivine allowed a genetic pattern and those who do not expect or do not hope to meet us?
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:33
			What are the highest adonia? And they were satisfied with the life of this word?
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:38
			Can you really be satisfied? Yes, you could be satisfied.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:47
			Is it the ultimate satisfaction, it is real genuine satisfaction, no, there will always be something
causing you a little bit of discomfort.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:55
			It's, it's it's a forced satisfaction. It's like he, he tried to suppress the thoughts of
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:05
			afterlife, the thoughts of the that's the end of this journey, you suppress them, they will come
around every once in a while.
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			And you just can tell,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			you know, you can't resist them forever, particularly as you age,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			you know, the thoughts will become more frequent.
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:32
			And once you start to have different sort of pains and aches in your body and things start to like,
let you down, your knees are letting you down. So they just can't help it, your
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			thoughts will come around.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:37
			So what are they
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:46
			generally, they don't wish to meet us they don't hope or expect or wish to meet us or other linear.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			They're satisfied
		
00:06:51 --> 00:07:17
			with the life of this world, welcome and no be a lot colder to Montana here some form of money. And
that's a fake the money in what mine will be handy found serenity, comfort in it. And certainly
those who found serenity and comfortable in the life of this world, that is fake comfort. This is
external serenity, it is not really internal, it's not inner, it's not something that
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:28
			that is basically inseparable, inseparable from them, is separable. Because
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:50
			it is advantageous. It's external, it is about you know, as long as things are going well for you,
we will have to money rather than higher to donate, you will be satisfied with the life of this
world. You're healthy, you have money, you're doing well, in your relationships, you're doing well
in your career,
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			life could, you know in the profit center in
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			the life of this world is sweet,
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:02
			green meaning
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			pleasing
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:43
			when a loved one, but so you could have some sense of comfort, and you could have also some sense of
menina and assurance, but it is always fake. There's always this thing you know, there's always
those like thoughts that will come about every once in a while about the purpose of our existence,
and about the final destination of this journey. And those thoughts will be unsettling.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:09:29
			But when will you truly have true to menina that is not fake, that is not adventitious, not
external. It comes from inside, when you have connected with yours. So the source with your origin,
when you have known Where are you coming from? And what are you here for and where are you going and
you are prepared for the next phase of the journey and you aspire to the end of the journey, you
know to the final end of the journey. So, that is why that is why it is important to pay attention
to what the chief says because every word has a meaning. When he says valid security Amnon Sahil
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:56
			sukoon stillness quiet since you can we hear that is buttress strengthen Amnon Sahil by valid
security. He means to say that many people think they have to menina they have sukoon they have they
have security, but it is invalid security. It is merely heedlessness heedlessness.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			This ship
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:09
			The shabby 1 billion meaning it is as clear as the witness of the eye. It is as certain and clear as
the witness of the eye.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:16
			Like the you know it is not something that you imagine it is true.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:37
			And then the sheikh said ouabain Albania Sakina T for Tron and there are two differences between it
that Nina and Sakina tranquility the first difference that she says huduma and Sakina masala tune to
re to Moodle hi Betty
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:50
			huduma Sakina savola to Moodle. Hi, Eva here and welcome Nina to sukoon m fisterra hottie owns.
		
00:10:51 --> 00:11:04
			They said the first difference between toamasina and sakeena does sometimes these are this is like
this may let me sound like splitting care. When we talk about the difference between serenity and
tranquility.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:27
			When we talk about the difference between Amanita and Sakina keep in mind that we're also using, you
know the translation, we're just trying to find the best word possible for the concept, the concept
of the money and the concept of cicada and so on. So how do we basically distinguish between
tomainia and Sakina, the chick says, and certainly
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:37
			Nina as station 59, whereas Sakina was station 58. to point out to us that tomorrow Nina is
		
00:11:39 --> 00:12:01
			greater than or not greater than Sakina is a higher station than Sakina. So he says kena is an
impetus, solid impetus that causes at times healin whom would lie by the abatement of or, or the
abatement of the intensity of the art.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:04
			You know, how
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:19
			how faith or fear is the station of the public. And this is not the public meaning the very general
public because the public, I mean, I don't know if the public actually belong to any
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:26
			of these stations, but in terms of the public that are actually the public of the seekers.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:48
			Not the one in general, the ascetic in the public among the seekers, the masses, among the seekers,
the masses, among the travelers, there are some people who are already you know, off the path, but
the fact of the matter is among the travelers,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:52
			they have the scope.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:02
			And then Russia becomes Russia is basically the learning curve. And it is the station of the
scholars.
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:20
			And then you have haber, which is the statement of the RFP, RFP and would be translated sometimes as
Gnostics. We try to avoid those translations because sometimes they have negative connotations, like
when when A is translated as St.
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:26
			There is no way that you could strip those words from their
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:42
			sort of etymological origin and the negative connotations that come with these words, therefore, it
is safest that we call it where they are. And every time we explain to people what to LA is,
		
00:13:43 --> 00:14:17
			if there is anyone in the crowd who needs an explanation, but you know, if there isn't, you know,
the, if there is no need for an explanation, then you just call it 20. So, an RFP would be
translated as the Gnostics but the concept itself is basically those who are endowed with inner
knowledge element, never the beneficial knowledge. So the scholars and most of the feanor among the
scholars, were not creating here a conflict between scholarship and modify.
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:28
			Most of the RFPs are from the scholars. And, you know, the would be harder. I mean, I don't have the
statistics, but and I don't,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			you know, it wouldn't be hard to say that most of the scholars are at a fee, but
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:35
			they are not.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			There is no conflict between the two, but certainly they are not mutually inclusive. In other words,
you may not be a scholar and you you have that beneficial knowledge and the knowledge of the heart
and you may be a scholar and not have it. So they are not mutually exclusive, but they are not
mutually exclusive, and certainly the relationship between
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			them is a third of the relations is the third the Roxy, it is you know,
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:22
			basically synergy is not conflict, there is synergy between the two, the more knowledge you have,
the more likely you are to be of the RFP, you you will be upgraded from
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:32
			COVID Akasha international lab and I bet you were the those who fear Allah among servants are the
scholars and Allah
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:38
			the relationship is a synergistic relationship the strengthening each other,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			but it is not mutually inclusive per se.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:16:00
			So, how you buy is basically the hash of the RFP the are to be always in all of the Divine is the
country of RV, this However, this hybrid this,
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:10
			of the Divine can, the persistence of this however, can cause
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:16
			can sometimes be extreme end result in what
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			what what they call sometimes, and so on
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:28
			is basically to be crushed by this hybrid map is to be obliterated by this hybrid
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:36
			to be obliterated by this hype. So, when people are always in the station of fear,
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:49
			and the you know, hush here, and then haber, they're always in awe of the Divine and it is all it's
constant then this can crush you
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:56
			and then it can obliterate your your existence
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:58
			which has map
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:07
			and they say that mark is required like you know it's it's basically a bridge to self validation.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:44
			But then we as we said before, that subsistence was by Allah for Allah is the highest station pheno
may be a bridge to it, not necessarily people can get to the station of Baka without further because
the station of the Sahaba you know and the compliment the perfect ones among the seekers of this
path like a generic model for others. Anyway.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:18:04
			So, here the ship is saying that this high this or if it is constant, it can cause harm. So Sakina
sabula 22 Moodle hybrid eonon sakeena is an impetus that causes at times the abatement of the AR.
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			So it is like it cools off the heat of the
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:19
			psyche and comes at times like cold water to cool off the heat of the R.
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:26
			And then he says what Nina to Sokoto m&m fisterra hottie owns,
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:47
			however, to madonnina is what? To my Nina is the equations of security in the oasis of comforting
intimacy owns comforting intimacy. Do you remember the station of bones, we've gone over this
comforting intimacy when you have comfort in the intimacy with your Lord.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:14
			That comes after Raja hope. And after Raja comes What shall hearing and after so becomes hub love
and after hug becomes comforting intimacy owns. So those who are so to meninas, then
		
00:19:15 --> 00:19:19
			these are two different threads. You know how Kashi Hi,
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:40
			Roger. So these are two different threads. So in when we were talking about that thread, and
certainly reflecting on the attributes of rigor and might, brings about the health and costs here
and how you've been reflecting on the attributes of beauty.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:48
			And also reflecting on that, which is the essence of the Divine.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:53
			Because ultimately if you put the attributes of Jelena and a man
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59
			but you know rigor and beauty, together ultimately that that
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:06
			Which attributes which attributes basically have the ultimate say
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:10
			man yeah because
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:19
			you know the My Mercy encompasses all things and Rockman is an attribute of German.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:34
			So if you reflect on the that then if you reflect on the attributes of Jamal v you reflect on the
that then you are on this thread of
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:38
			what Raja hope
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			shall be earning
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			love and comforting intimacy. So
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:13
			he's saying that the Sakina comes to cool off the intensity of the arm that Toma Nina is there in
the station of comforting intimacy which one is better than Tama Nina because the station of
comforting intimacy is a stable station Sakina comes to just
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:31
			cool off the heat of the where as Romanian as a stable station or a stable condition that you
experience in the station of comfort and intimacy and it is a station by itself as well.
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:55
			Then the sheikh said the difference the second difference between to Medina Sakina he said and
Sakina takuna turn with a goon he didn't bother him what to Nina to learn to vertical Sahiba the
second Sakina is a description it's a quality and a quality is not adequate, it is not part of the
essence.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:05
			Some attributes are not part of the essence some attributes are part of the essence now they are
separate description meaning a quality that is not part of the essence.
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:08
			Okay. So
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:14
			when I say that this is this is
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:16
			what color is this anyway?
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:20
			Yeah. Brown.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:22
			Gray.
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:26
			Okay.
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:29
			Any, you know, any other bids?
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:33
			greenish?
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:35
			Okay.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:38
			Okay, so
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:41
			someone has a yellow here.
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:44
			Banana in your hand?
		
00:22:46 --> 00:23:01
			No, but But what does that mean? It means that the color is not really part of the essence. It is
not part of the quality, it's a description, it's not part of the essence. So whether it is this or
this or that it's not part of the essence.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:18
			And the so many descriptions are not basically integral to the essence are not integral to the
essence. So we as human beings, what's our essence.
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:46
			They say that we are basically thoughtful animals or animals endowed with thought, with intellect,
animals now endowed with the intellect. So that would be the as the definition of the essence. And
then our other qualities are an integral part of our essence. Here he is saying it is not the
surfer. So he's saying that it is not part of the essence.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:21
			sakeena is a description, meaning it comes and goes it's not part of the essence, that may simply be
hard at times, whereas the money never separates from its people. Because once they reach the
station of Toma, Nina, once they are there in the station of comforting intimacy or owns then that
money now does not separate from them, that Medina does not separate from them and to menina is an
action of the heart Even if the body is
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			even if there is reason for the body
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:27
			to be
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:37
			tense or to be under pressures or to have some stress that in our core,
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:45
			you know that in our corner of the room, the inner core of the of the role
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			or the role of the soul
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:59
			can be in a different condition. And that is basically that is basically the ultimate exercise is to
make sure that
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:07
			In the body, there is a relationship between the body and the soul, for sure, because the soul
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:12
			becomes an EFS, when it comes down in the body, right?
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			The difference although they can be used synonymously and interchangeably between the rule
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:23
			is that the rule is the separate spirit.
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:42
			And the nap says the separable spirit. It's not separate separable, but it is the rule that is
attached to the body. Where is it mostly attached, or most ardently attached, what part of the body
it is most ardently attached to the heart.
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:57
			But as long as the root has in the body, it is enough and there is a relationship between the two,
they affect each other, they affect each other, as a mutual relationship between the body and
		
00:25:58 --> 00:25:59
			the soul.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			But when you
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			when you exercise,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:19
			basically, that riada that refinement, that spiritual refinement, the rule gets sometimes to rise to
transcend the bodily experience.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:27
			And this is not really foreign, and this is even common to people that are not Muslim.
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:53
			The idea of ensuring that the rule transcends the bodily experiences. So when you go through a
negative experience or a painful experience, your body goes through a painful experience he or she
is not crushed. And it is not dampened and it is not. Yours could be in a separate realm.
		
00:26:54 --> 00:27:03
			Enjoying the bounties and the graces of ah Lord separate Lorraine
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:19
			as a mountaineer and Allah says in the his famous statements about how what my what my enemies do to
me of the imprison me my seclusion of the torture me, my jihad, if they
		
00:27:21 --> 00:27:27
			expel me, it is my tourism. If they kill me, it's my monitor them.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:39
			So then at my feet, sadly, my paradise is inside my chest. So any advantageous experience and
experience of the body
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:50
			the route is in a different trail. And when the when the prison guard closed the door on him, he
said, we're going to buy this wooden level web button.
		
00:27:53 --> 00:28:04
			So he said that like a fence was put up between them in sight, that is mercy inside the prison cell
is mercy. And those prison cells used to be I have seen the,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:10
			you know, don't want to even think about their, their prison cells.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			And oftentimes the they used to be underground, like a hole in the
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:35
			bottom when when you can. So yes, you could actually use through training through refinement, you
could reach a point where the soul is not impacted by the experiences of the body, the painful or
negative experiences of the body.
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:56
			And in this case, to my Nina, the serenity, the nrps the comfort of your soul will not be affected
by the tension, the stress or any sort of adventitious external circumstantial factors.
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:06
			Then the chief said the director to do that, then the sixth set of three levels this Nina is of
three levels that has to do with auto Nina to talebi basically
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:11
			what he or Nina told her if he was
		
00:29:13 --> 00:29:21
			one more patella, Elon Musk Uber. The first level is the serenity of the heart in the remembrance of
Allah. It is the serenity found by
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:32
			the fearful in hope, the aggravated in the resignation to destiny, the afflicted in the expectation
of reward. So,
		
00:29:33 --> 00:30:00
			this is self explanatory, so we will not stop for too long here. It's self explanatory, right? This
domani and this serenity of the heart is the serenity that is found in the remembrance of Allah
subhanaw taala The law says allatheena Amano water polo boom basically Allah, Allah basically law he
took my mo polu those who believed and their hearts find serenity in the remembrance of
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:40
			Allah, Most certainly, in the remembrance of Allah, hearts will find serenity, most certainly in the
remembrance of Allah, hearts will find serenity. And that's basically and we will come back and talk
about this at the end. But that is the surest path to serenity, the remembrance of Allah. And he's
talking about the hearts. So it is the victory that that comes out of the heart. Yes, it manifests
on the tongue, but it is the secret of the heart. It is the remembrance of the heart that manifests
in on the tongue.
		
00:30:42 --> 00:31:10
			So, he says that this is the first level of Amanita and the sad it is that Nina that is found by the
fearful in hope, the one who is in fear when he remembers Raja, the one who was in a state of health
when he remembers Raja, and as we said, that you fly to Allah subhanaw taala, like a bird, two
wings, and a body, what's the body of the bird?
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:41
			Love hub. And the two wings are fear and hope. And in order for you to stay straight, you will have
to use both wings. And once you have found yourself sort of deviating in one direction, excessive
fear that is causing pasta, possibly SAP, you know, crushing or obliteration, then you need to
balance this out with the other when that's hope that's right.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:56
			But ultimately, the love should be the overall the dominant feeling that you have in this in your
relationship with your Lord.
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:17
			So he said that, if you're not fearful and hope the fearful whenever he feels to be too tense or he
feels the beginnings of despair, he does not wait until he becomes desperate. If he is the
beginnings of despair, then he does remind himself of
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:33
			the mercy of the kindness of Allah the compassion of Allah. Rahim Allah for Allah do the Forgiving,
the Merciful, the Compassionate, reminds himself of those attributes, and then finds
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:35
			hope
		
00:32:36 --> 00:32:44
			that he said What does he realize the aggravated in the resignation to destiny or in resignation to
destiny.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:52
			The Dodger is the aggravated, unsettled the Dodger tense, you know, aggravated
		
00:32:54 --> 00:32:55
			resentful.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:34
			he resigns to destiny. And when he resigns the destiny, that does not resigned to destiny does not
mean that you stop doing what's right. And stop taking precautions and making provisions and doing
your best and working. That does not mean that you will stop going to your treatment sessions are
something if you're sick, or you stopped going to the doctor or something like this. But you
resigned to destiny while you're doing this. You resigned to destiny that is all predetermine. And
there is a preset date.
		
00:33:36 --> 00:34:17
			For the end of this journey, comes tomorrow it comes next year it comes in five years, it will end.
So that the resignation to destiny, so afraid about your job about getting laid off. That
resignation to destiny does not mean that you don't do your best. It just means that you won't have
conflict that it is predetermine I will do my best, because that's what I should be doing. How to
Solomon for the purposes of themselves. But I am completely resigned to my destiny while I'm doing
my best. And while I'm sorry embark means be keen to attain that which is a better fit for you while
I'm doing this. I'm completely
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:38
			accepting of his choices. And then he said while mipela Elon Musk Uber, that money the afflicted
will find in the expectation of reward, and does the effect of trying to menina in the expectation
of reward Absolutely. Otherwise, if you know
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:59
			otherwise, people who have no expectation that they are doing that they don't hope or wish to meet
Allah subhanaw taala. life could be, as we said in the beginning, somewhat pleasant, as long as it's
going well for them. But once they encounter struggle
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:37
			There is no they don't have any reserve. They don't have any, basically psychological resources to
count on, when they when they have when they encounter trouble, but but certainly for the believers
who wish for the reward of Allah subhanaw taala, regardless of the intensity of the affliction, if
they understand that the muscle but the reward will always outweigh that, and there will be no
comparison, because the word is multiplied by what?
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			infinity.
		
00:35:43 --> 00:36:09
			A word is always multiplied by infinity, the word we're talking about the word in the Hereafter,
multiply that by infinity, whatever that word is, multiplied by infinity, it would outweigh your
affliction. So hi fi Raja, the fearful in hope budget, aggravated in a resignation to destiny, when
muqtada mitsuba the afflicted in the expectation of reward. And then he said, What dadada 232
maniototo.
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:16
			The second level is the serenity of the soul. serenity of the soul
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:30
			fell across the inner cache in the disclosure while traveling in the disclosure while traveling.
Like we said, when you travel on a path that's somewhat long, seems long.
		
00:36:31 --> 00:36:41
			You want to have some disclosures disclosures, which will show you the details of the path and the
details of the destination.
		
00:36:42 --> 00:37:07
			And certainly the best and greatest disclosures are the disclosures that will show you Anwar in LA,
which is the light of the divine truth, the lights of the divine truth, but the disclosures could
show you the way on the past. Like he could have a disclosure meaning that added knowledge.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:13
			Like if you have studied on issues, it's controversial. You've studied it and
		
00:37:14 --> 00:37:17
			you're just like, use the all of your
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:44
			mental power, still controversial, but there are lots of vannatta gives you this L ham, the subtle
inspiration that will guide your heart to one of the two choices, that's some form of disclosure,
disclosure about the destination disclosure and finally disclosure about the ultimate and chose the,
the you know,
		
00:37:45 --> 00:37:47
			the truth capital T
		
00:37:48 --> 00:38:01
			which is Allah. And then he said so these disclosures on the way on the path and during this journey
will certainly bring about our life serenity.
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:33
			Didn't Abraham ask for God? Allah is Allah. Allah Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah Allah kalbi rabbinic a
potterhead Mota, Oh my Lord, show me how to bring the resurrected that caught our unto him. His Lord
said to him, don't you have faith in that? And Abraham said, Bella would likely have medical be Yes,
but I want more. But I want no but
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:47
			for my heart to find the assurance from my heart to find the source that would be the sort of the
closest translation for my heart to find the assurance Ilia in can be hard to find to my need
assurance.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:39:09
			So that would be a disclosure to Ibrahim about that was a great disclosure about one of the greatest
truth, which is the truth of what bath resurrection. And that certainly is a great source of trauma
need assurance in the sense.
		
00:39:10 --> 00:39:12
			And then he said we shall be in a lie the
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:27
			serenity of the soul in the promise while yearning of itself Elijah and the promise while the
yearning self is the condition, the status, the yearning, if you are in this
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:31
			condition, yearning,
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:59
			yearning to you know, hearing to certainly we will not we will, we will never say to Allah subhanaw
taala that we're not here to your gift, just paradise. Certainly the ultimate here in India is
yearning to his pleasure it to him but all of his promises. We we are
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:11
			excited and happy to receive all of his promises about everything, including paradise and including
everything he told us about paradise.
		
00:40:13 --> 00:40:31
			So these promises that Alas, Matata has given us, when you're yearning, you will find some anina in
the promises of Allah because you know that he, luckily for me, he does not, he makes good on his
promises, he does not breach his promises.
		
00:40:32 --> 00:40:49
			Then the sheikh said, perfect Africa to Allah JAMA, the money in the soul will find in the Union
wire the interface. So the soul as an ABS in the body is in a state of the flipper have all of the
		
00:40:50 --> 00:41:03
			records basically when you are making a VR, VR is the plural of via, via is the sailor, sailor means
all others, everything other than allies, sailor,
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:08
			vitamins, other, you know, of the artists plural of wire,
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:14
			and they are here could be anything, you know, could be your pain,
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:19
			you're itching, you know, you're hungry.
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:49
			And you have an appointment, and your feelings, other people concern about other people, all of
these are a VR of the donia that cause distraction caused the flicker, cause dispersion, and even
your reflection on the phenomenon dystonia, the different phenomena, different events that are
happening around you, even you're listening now to this, looking at somebody
		
00:41:51 --> 00:42:01
			all of this is a form of dispersion, but Jama union is here together and it's with Allah subhanaw
taala that will distract you from all
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:04
			from all of your occupations.
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:06
			And
		
00:42:11 --> 00:42:25
			the goal, the goal is and that is the station of the Sahaba and the station of the prophets is that
it distracts you not from your occupations, but in your occupation.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:31
			So, is that is that obvious
		
00:42:32 --> 00:43:10
			in your occupation, so you're you're you are in your occupation with different things in the dunya
that you have to go to do and you have to go about, but you are still in a state of togetherness
with Allah subhanaw taala in your occupation, heart is never void of the remembrance of Allah
subhanaw taala and everything even your occupations are aligned with your ultimate goal, when they
are aligned with your ultimate goal, they will not be distraction you know, if you have and this is
basically the exercise of
		
00:43:12 --> 00:43:42
			intent having the right intent and having the right direction. And then you align everything in your
going out to work in the morning having this aligned with the ultimate goal, you get married having
this aligned with the ultimate goal, your entire marriage is aligned with the ultimate goal, you
move to a different city aligned with the ultimate goal, everything is aligned when everything is
aligned that you know even though we cannot completely
		
00:43:45 --> 00:44:19
			we cannot be in a complete state of union all the time. Because the profits are seldom said and I
can sell myself, but one hour for this and one hour for that, but even the one hour that is not in
that state of union, you could still make it aligned with the other hour. So that it does not become
a distraction, it does not slow you down it does not hinder you from reaching your ultimate goal
because everything has been aligned. So in the state of Africa, you find a little bit of
		
00:44:20 --> 00:44:21
			sort of
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:40
			the composure and you regain your composure by your togetherness with a loss of productivity. So in
your state in your occupation, like if you are stuck in traffic, why is it that you wasted a year
wasting time? Why don't you say in some of the scar
		
00:44:42 --> 00:44:56
			acid very that is why you will find those some people are always having serenity. Like you go you go
like particularly back in Muslim countries where there is no definitive line that you stand in.
		
00:44:58 --> 00:44:59
			You don't wait for your number
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:18
			You'll find some people trying to get there but they have confirmed that they are not agitated
particularly or they're waiting you know for their number but there is the you could you could
basically may do morada of your current
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:41
			you could anyone has the letter L ally you know just you know if you don't remember any I've gotta
just remember that line keep on saying that line reflecting on it. And that would be the best use of
your time, the best use of your time anyway. And then that Excel data 230 SATA menina to the hard
drive in a
		
00:45:43 --> 00:45:52
			third level is the serenity in the divine gentleness while the holding the divine presence to Medina
Xu that Hydra Illa Allah
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54
			Allah is
		
00:45:57 --> 00:46:12
			what you're looking for that kind of which comes after either because that could sometimes be
confusing to people even when they translate that to menina you're finding the Toma Nina in whatever
comes after either so to Manila to that, whether
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:39
			it is the serenity in the divine gentleness, gentleness, while beholding the Divine Presence. What
am I Nina to Gemma the serenity in the station of subsistence while and in the state of union. What
am I Nina to me Eleonora Plaza, this array serenity in the light of pre eternity while in one
station, money in the in the light of pre eternity wide and one station.
		
00:46:40 --> 00:47:18
			So when you have the hood, beholding the divine, at that building the divine with the eyes of your
heart, you find serenity and worked in the Lord in the divine gentleness, and water Manila to Jama
Illa Baka. When you are in sleep together, and this with a lot of hautala you're not afraid of
crushing you're not afraid of muck obliteration. Because you are comfortable with his progress for
you to subsist, you know, to give you eternity
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:23
			by him with him, for him, by him with him for him.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:48:10
			And that eternity will come later in the in the, in the afterlife, but the subsistence of the soul,
the soul is, you know, the soul is not does not vanish, the body decomposes, the soul does not
manage, what am I not macam, eternal as of the serenity in the light of eternity wide and one
station, the serenity of the light of eternity we said, and as the opposite of elapid, when it got
the temporal variant both mean eternity but if you add the basically the direction, that would be
eternity in the future, as it'll be eternity in the past. And when we talk about pre eternity, we're
talking about eternity in the past, when you go back and you go back and you go back and before,
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:34
			before us there were other nations and for those other nations, there was no human being on earth.
And before there is no one and before this, there was a large and if you keep on going back and back
to where it is, you go back to the light of pre eternity, where only Allah subhanaw taala existed,
and that gives you
		
00:48:36 --> 00:48:37
			serenity.
		
00:48:38 --> 00:48:47
			And it gives you hope, because the one who had always existed and the one who will always exist,
your subsistence will be by him.
		
00:48:48 --> 00:48:51
			And his promise is never breached.
		
00:48:52 --> 00:49:26
			And that gives you money gives you serenity. Now the final thing that I wanted to say is that
working for money and how do we work? How do we take practical steps towards the money, there is
certainly the most the surest path to money and as the conscious constant remembrance of Allah
subhanaw taala physically located men, in the remembrance of Allah, when hearts find their
assurance, their money and their serenity, and that is the remembrance by the heart.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			At manifests on the tongue
		
00:49:30 --> 00:49:38
			and the rest of the body. So remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala The second thing comes in from a
hadith or to a hadith also that activists
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:55
			so the remembrance of Allah and righteousness and good goodness, good to be good to do good, brings
about to menina sowed the seeds of sama Nina and your heart and your knifes
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:11
			Prophet sallallahu Sallam said to have a certain amount, but when he came to ask him about burger
and if he said to him What? a bedroom Walkman, a Walkman at La naps? Well, it's mamma haka
		
00:50:13 --> 00:50:33
			facade Ouattara naps. Okay, Tanya Pollyannas. So he said, an elder righteousness is what McMahon
alien called, is that which hearts find serenity and to menina what motherly laughs and the self
finds to my name.
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:48
			And if evil wavers like quivers in the chest, and you know the snaps will find this comfort and ease
in it or about it.
		
00:50:49 --> 00:51:03
			And that is that is the that is an important lesson in when people that is a beautiful hobbies
statistically but unfortunately, a historical understanding of those hobbies would be problematic.
Consult your heart,
		
00:51:05 --> 00:51:24
			consult your heart, because most of the time, it is about consultant your heart. Most of the time,
most of the obligations of their this lead are very straightforward. He like you know, there is not
that much controversy or nuances or intricacy in veteran whether they're in for instance, being good
to your parents.
		
00:51:25 --> 00:52:04
			Kindness, like there there are so, you know, if you look at the public obligations of the court and
the injunctions of the Quranic injunctions, and the foundations of morality and the the foundations
of morality in the deen, you will find all of them to be straightforward, is not that much, you
know, difficulty. They don't require an erudite verifying scholar to decipher things. Clear,
straightforward, certainly, that does not mean that we we don't need the scholars for, for when
things need clarification, but oftentimes,
		
00:52:06 --> 00:52:16
			we things are clear to us. And but we act them so sometimes we just like act like you know, it's not
really clear. No, it's clear.
		
00:52:18 --> 00:52:37
			So skeptical because it's very important. So goodness, the good and to pursue the good all the time
will bring about to Manila to the heart and to Manila to the nerves, particularly which type of good
because there is another Hadith that highlights or points out one particular good.
		
00:52:40 --> 00:52:40
			Remember,
		
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45
			you know, it's hard to, but the idea here is
		
00:52:48 --> 00:53:21
			one particular good is has been highlighted as a source of menina and another Hadith reported by
Hassan Ali or the lavon who he said the prophet SAW Sutherland said dama de Buccola ala Mallory buka
cidco, Toma, Nina well, Kathy boo Reba is that leave that which causes you to doubt that which does
not cause you to doubt serpo to manita truthfulness brings about serenity to menina lying through an
unlined sow the seeds of doubt,
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:27
			truthfulness is the one good that is most
		
00:53:28 --> 00:53:58
			relevant, pertinent here to the discussion of tamani truthfulness. And this truthfulness is
basically an encompassing concept of truthfulness. It is not just truthfulness in speech, its
truthfulness and action. It is truthfulness in relationships. It is honesty, commitment, to be
genuine, to be true, to not be fake, in any relationships in your feelings. Even with yourself. You
know your feelings are true.
		
00:53:59 --> 00:54:17
			You're true to yourself, are true with your lower your true with the people. You're in like you're
committed, you're sincere, you're devoted, that's truthfulness with your Lord. You don't pretend you
know here you're not pretentious,
		
00:54:18 --> 00:55:00
			with with the people, you are yourself. And do you understand how beautiful that is? and brings
about like comfort and composure and inner peace, to be yourself to not need to pretend you know
there is no line whatsoever involved. You're always yourself. You don't need to think about what
you're going to say because you always say the truth does not require effort. When you make up a
story. You have to make up a story that is effort, you know, but when you're always saying the
truth, and when you're not pretending and when you're not trying to be someone you're not. That
brings about it
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:04
			Inner peace, serenity to money and composure
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:09
			so that's another one and and certainly you know
		
00:55:11 --> 00:55:13
			if you want the the
		
00:55:14 --> 00:55:38
			the father from Allah subhanaw taala then you want to accomplish the obligatory to Manila in your
Salah there is obligatory to Manila and your Salah that you want to accomplish. So have this to
Manila in your Salah. So there are lots of pinata grants you to Manila in your life in general. So
		
00:55:39 --> 00:55:44
			pay attention to your Salah and develop to Medina and your Salah.
		
00:55:45 --> 00:55:47
			Be and be thoughtful
		
00:55:48 --> 00:56:12
			in your Salah. Be mindful mindful prayer. mindful praying is certainly a way to developing that
tomorrow, Nina, these are just like and certainly when I say let's just talk about when I enumerate
enumerate 123 and four does not mean it's an inclusive list. It just means that this is what comes
to mind as
		
00:56:13 --> 00:56:23
			basically important causes of trauma and either or an important means to monitor productivity other
stuff with
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:28
			regard to what I would have seven minutes and come back for our session.
