Creation of the heavens,
we
learn certainly, definitely
a healthy
we are certainly
signed people and well, the possesses of understanding,
and what is people and the linear Allah, the people whom we Pick up,
they remember all the mention of the one. They are standing upon
order, and while they are sitting water and you know, being and upon
their sides.
And besides remembering Allah, and they think, and
they find the inaudible in the creation. For those who look at
the creation and think about the creation, and explain these words
a number of more minutes before we go out of that, wants to discuss
one of the things about the guru,
because one of the one of the ideas behind the heretika,
is that we need to train ourselves to become the king
that killing means people of the
we have to train ourselves to become people of the truth. And I
think we live in a world,
a world that will make you happy, which is opposite
unmyl always destructive, and the world daily. The world makes you
happy.
So in order for you to battle and fight, to become a duck.
And Allah is saying that the ultimate level of Dharti is what
Ali mayal Moon, Allah all the time, those who make bicker of
Allah all the time. So to discuss two practical aspects. And the
first aspect was that something please get bigger and child from
the person useful is the right issue that you all publish this at
the beginning, if you are making record all the time,
does it mean that you're always in the masjid? No,
it obviously means you're going to be talking to someone, you're
going to be driving to work, you're going to be having a
meeting, you're going to be shopping, playing the kids,
speaking to your wife, eating some food. You're going to be doing
things all the time.
So how, how do you become lucky? Then
I become lucky then. So I want to divide the simple. I want to
divide it between two different types of dhikr.
The first type of dhikr would be the Dhikr
did reality is teaching us and guiding us to Morocco. That type
of Vika is a dedicated Bhikkhu.
In other words, I'm dedicated and devoted to making dhikr in that
moment.
In other words, it's my time, and I'm trying to be 100% with Allah.
My mind about being is 100% love. So there's a time when I'm making
dhikr exclusively completely,
but obviously I have to learn
and go into the world. Then the question is, how do I keep in
vikal while talking to my brain? Or why we keep?
And the answer is that you have to keep even while you're busy with
something. Certain things. Is put this way, certain things don't
take 100%
of your being. For example, most of you have been driving with
fears. You can almost like, use 5% of your being and they are quite
successful. We have 2% concentration instead. Will be
playing with your kids, maybe small kids. They're not speaking
as like, going around stuff. You don't need food. When you're
eating something, you don't need your food, like, mind, soul, like,
it's a critical mission, critical something.
So genuinely, is always spaced in our consciousness to do something.
So when we are busy, we should try to reserve the portion of our
consciousness and a portion of our heart to the guru.
Deserve parts of your heart to the guru. And where do we find this,
actually? And I find so beautiful, because we find this idea so so
this discussion summarized two types of degrees. One type of
degrees when I'm exclusively, completely devoted to Allah, and
the second quarter degrees I'm in the world I'm engaged with a part
of my heart and a part of my conscience is still negative.
So in other.
Lord, I'm either making Deacon entirely or a part of the making.
But I mean, they could hear and be clear, so I never stopped.
So how do you practically achieve this? And I believe that the
sunnah of Prophet Muhammad is the ultimate blessing,
the love of Allah. He gave us a beautiful formula.
And the formula is that the Prophet Muhammad
went into he changed events.
Changed events. When the prophets of Allah, Abu Asmaa went from
sleeping to waking, there was a difference.
And then from waiting, he went into the bathroom. There was a
dick. And then he stopped to do there was a dick. When he didn't
do it, he was a dick. And he left the bathroom. There was a liquor.
And he raised his son as a liquor. He left the house of liquor. He
got into his got into his chemical mule, and there was a liquor. He
went in the masjid. There was a liquor. He came out of the Masjid.
There was a he put in his clothes. There was a big.
Now, the Prophet sallallahu, sallami is teaching us that
that whenever I'm changing event,
I need to remind my heart about Allah. It's
very beautiful, because it actually makes it, it's a, it's a,
it's a capitalist towards the reminder, I'm changing events now,
therefore my people, they're
for my clinic. So my advice to you the first thing that when you
change events, and for example, those of you working office, for
example, now you stay at your desk. Now you have a two clock
meeting. When you walk into the meeting, that's a change of
living.
You see the weather
okay,
because now before the meeting, now you have an appointment.
Before the appointment, next slide, every time walks in,
you need to sit. Mark is in your day and when the market happens in
your university. Example, new lecture in
keep your hearts up and
say, Allah SWT, I'm
going to say the words
I'm going to say the words at the same time on the lake and the B
rocket of my heart, I went to look into my heart and in my mind,
almost like I'm almost like you have a
limited connection,
almost
disconnect, as long as you
really started, I press correctly, and
yes, you might disconnect. But the more you do it, the stronger the
connection becomes.
And then you want to add something more, the Prophet Sallallahu
salimation, right? InshaAllah, the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he
never immediately stopped his speech and he ended his speech. He
always did to his name on them.
So again, you have to win. We just recreate at the at the end. So
recreate at the beginning, recreate at the end. So
what's left
the middle?
So the burden is we actually going to forget human beings, and we
are. We live in this crazy world. We never forget. So at the
beginning, never to get a man of stuff, and in the middle of the
occasion, just to look into our heart, remember,
and it's like a World Cup, because the more we do it, the more we do
it, the easier it becomes.
It's like the stretches the special paper so as you can't
touch your tables, you try
again. It makes it becomes easy. It becomes easy. But there's a
Mujahid a bit of struggle to begin. And then the one we do
first, always remember that
is one person says
he wants to make
me difficult. Most of us include myself,
especially in some but
he automatically forced himself to wake up and all this. And then he
says, I struggled and I battled and I just tried. For 40 days, it
was a struggle. But after the 40 days, I tasted the sweetness of 40
years,
because he went through that struggle. And when he went to that
struggle, he reached a station where it became easy and
enjoyable. It's a bit like exercise.
You get people,
if you must tell them to jot it up a block,
they will come back and they will be dizzy, and the chest will be
burning, and they'll be, you know, called into the medic, but
then you get something. Just jot it tomorrow and tomorrow and
tomorrow, eventually a strange happening happens. You.
You feel that the job everyday, because it makes me feel good and
strong, and if you start to actually listen,
because you become used to it. So it becomes actually a delight,
a delight.
So,
so this is the part of the country it's just to stop and just keep
dry all the time. The last thing about yoga, because when the
brothers came to me as well and mentioned to me is, how do you
stop your thoughts?
How are you thinking something, something don't think about.
Where
is
the place of your thoughts?
Where do you think in your your mind? Where is it thinking?
So I'll just say they are getting two different places. These
thoughts. Is a random
thoughts,
where you think about So, the place of true decrease in the in
the heart. So all you need to do
is not battle your thoughts. Don't battle your thoughts. And what I
want to do, they explain to us in beautiful job, they says, As if
you may be working at the computer and there's a window, there's a
window, there
is a window there. When you working
and you look down into all this traffic here,
the stack is distracting me working.
The strap is distracting me. What do you do? You go into the
elevator and press ground floor and go out in the middle and say,
Stop kalaha. I tried to work.
You confident you gotta stop traffic. What you do is you just
take your gaze away from the traffic
and just focus on your on your work. The same with
your heart. If your mind is running up and down and crazy, you
just tell your mind if you do it.
Then you just look into your heart, because Murata means to
look, look intentionally. You just take your focus into your heart
and picture your heart for
you cannot carry
one. Just ignore your souls. Don't have to fight it all the time.
Then you answer the meeting, because you better finger clothes
and you can't stop traffic sometimes. So just go back and
have another person in the Sabbath. Because
every time I find this traffic to
my home, and just try to picture my heart coming,
because the Mahal, the place of Guru, is
in
government, hallelujah
and standing and sitting on
his side,
and they
think as a fond of being in the creation of the habit and the
earth. And it makes, they exclaimed. And they are
overwhelmed with, with with the prince of all of these signs. And
they call, they call out from times Rahman, you did not
create all of this wealthy love without any purpose of a hand, how
perfect, how exalted you are, but so deep say that save us. I love
and love for the punishment of the Oh, our mosque, our Master, our
Lord.
Imma. Tell you Allah men
who ever, truly, never you think. Into the Hellfire
a certain you, you have this grace enumerated. This person
is not in Tali, Mina, for wrongdoers, mean Han Solo from
anyhow. But the believers have a helper
or a master in Nana virus.
We
have heard unanimity. We have heard a code man calling towards
Iman
Quran,
the same thing calling towards Iman and saying that
we believe
in your master
immediately, amen. We believe from banana, how our master fell, will
give Lana for us to lubana our sons waka, feel and cover Berry
and covid.
The Anna away from us, from us. Saiki ADINA, our evil, disgusting
deeds, but the word VENA man and take us, put us to direct. Maha
aburad, the people of righteousness, Rabbana, go our
master
and give us grant Asmaa, that which word tenan You promised us,
Allah,
upon your
messenger, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Naga. Indeed will be
you, Allah, there are two people behind you. Do not break on me.
Hide the promise.
A question.
The those five are winners, who is speaking to who
is speaking to
the gurus, and bad are speaking to Allah,
one of the messages of the Quran message
is that life is actually a dialog, a conversation between us and
Allah.
Another question, if I open a Muslim
and I start reading the Quran,
who is speaking to
Abu Dhabi, who is speaking
to Allah,
is speaking to asima. I'm saying the words.
I'm just meditating the word Allah saying to me, and Allah, Allah
saying to me, so, so just think about it. These are, these are
dialogs from Allah to me, and this is dialog from me to Allah.
The dialog one of the ways, one of the ways that Allah speaks to me
is by Allah, the Quran. One of the ways I speak to Allah is what by
dua, who
do You think must be first?
You see, if we spoke to us, we didn't. We
didn't know to speak to
we didn't know what to
say. So what you find a few points of Bucha language, Rahim Allah is
telling us to say Ismail Rahman Al Rahim in the name of Allah SWT.
Those words, there is
that too hard for us.
No, that's Allah telling us is informing us. You read where
I am merciful, I am compassionate, and I am your master, but I'm also
working with
I'm a Quran. I am the master, the Lord of all the world, but next,
I am merciful. I am soft, I am gentle.
Maliki, Yogi Deen, by this consequence, I am the owner of the
lost of the Allah is speaking to us. Then Allah tells us what
Jordan,
what Jordan he can
study.
Ya Allah, you the Master. You alone, do you worship and you
alone, you pray the whole and if you the Master, we only pray to
you is pray in the study. Oh Allah, it's good
to Allah. Allah.
Allah says, in the Abu Dhabi,
Shaykh al Ramadan is only placed on Allah ash
says the only verse of Ramadan,
Shaykh al Ramadan, the month of Ramadan,
then the Quran was
revealed in
three things,
custom, three things, there is guidance, there is proof of
guidance, and there is a criteria.
So the month of Ramadan is what
the month of the Quran are? We manifested with our Father. We we
come to our and we hear Allah speaking to us, right? So the
month of actually the month of Allah speaking to us. It's the
month of celebrating a.
Allah speaking to us like the birthday of the Quran.
We're looking for the birthday. We have the birthday 21st 23rd 21st
27th give me the birthday, but the birthday sometime now, this is a
celebration of Allah speaking to us.
Then what's the next verse?
Wanida, sakari, Burdi, Ari, wahini, Fahim, and when your slave
asks about me, I am being close to jeebu Darwin and dairy, I will
respond to the call of the bud.
You see, Allah speaks first. And Allah says, if you were to ask
about me, just ask me.
So now tell us, you listen. You listen to me. You use the mind
communication of Quran.
Now, children, now, student,
powerful,
powerful, but that verse telling you what Allah speaks first, and
then you now come to this ayat,
uniqueness is amazing. This. How did the ayah stop
in
wherever was speaking to us in this section? Is
that amazing?
Allah is saying at the beginning of this section is the new
section?
Allah saying?
It's amazing. In other
words, what is all of the
response to?
It's a response to,
it's
a response to ayah. T what we learn from this?
Allah can speak to us without using words.
Allah can speak to us. Just is the tree? Is Allah speaking to us? The
cloud is Allah speaking to us? I'll be doing another way.
You know, those are limited parts.
Each part of this has a signature look you
understand, like you see blocks and faces and those all places
look at the castle, because you'd like to make things in community
and in this business. In other words, each part of this has a
trademark.
So Rahul Islam is just an
example of the highest examples. It's almost as if Allah is the
artist of this world.
And may say he's also the power to the speaker of this world. He's
the artist of the world. He designed this entire world
himself.
And when you look at this art, you see the artist,
because this part is so beautiful, this part is so holiness, this
part is so diverse. This art is so together as well. This part
reminds me of what
reminds me
of the artist?
But all of these sides being the part of the house, is he, they
say, the poet, Sagami,
do it, for example.
Now it also reveals the holy art. Also reveals what words, where
does the art come from?
The artist. Where did the words come
from?
So what I'm saying is
that is a very important concept in the Quran
of atowi,
which means
they are AYATUL
hayatu, ayatu. Ayato beta. And this ayat in nature, which are
very much the above a dream, but it's still an idea. So the idea
that Allah is speaking to us within the Bucha Musa and learning
about Allah with the getting up for the Musa, with the walking in
the world, Allah is still speaking to us. And when Allah speaks to
us, he's speaking to us all the time, because the ayah don't stop.
Allah says, I pray Heaven is hiding, the Earth is hiding. Your
own self is idle.
Allah is never stopping to communicate to us. So he
communicates to us constantly. And what the abus we communicate back
to him, and what happens when we communicate back to him. Allah
says, brother, because the people. But
Allah said, you mentioned me, and what's happened? Again, I'm
going to speak back to you again.
This is the dialog of life. Allah speaks to by the idol. Spiritual.
You become unto him. Yeah,
Allah,
you make your DUA. Listen to back to you.
And this is, this is why the people of the people are the only
year of this world for them, it's a real relationship.
They don't keep Allah from home, not because they they
don't want to do but.
But
who
people without really screams
at The bird will
this is beautiful. What's the
password?
Who's coming
for
this? Funny,
Oh,
nobody gave that job.
There's no P in Arabic language that comes from the Java.
It's a cognizant of Pakistan.
In Pakistan, very bad. So jawab comes from Jawad, which means to
respond, if I will say, job Joab was responding. So what's the
Java? Semula
then responds, because the qur, they respond to Allah's
communication via Ayah within the Quran, within nature, they respond
to Allah, and Allah responds back to them first,
responds to their master, their Lord, taker, their narration.
Taker. Christian taker,
and he responds on me that I Allah, I Allah love. I
will not force to get lost. I will not force to
go to waste. I will not force something to go, to go to Nova.
What meaning students are first year,
the action
the other,
the action of any actor, the doer, of anybody who does
what started,
and Amina, Amina, he He did what's the between
the fear, because he did.
But, but far is
doesn't always include me here.
Doesn't always include me here, for example, your breathing is a
theory for time,
because to do something, not necessarily,
but Amal is only action plus niya. You can't do ama without Nia and
action plus niya. What is the way AMR teach us that the people of
Luke, the people of understanding, they act with intention.
They act with purpose. Thought I'm gonna, let alone tell them, they
are people who act with intention. How many people live life
intention?
Then, one of the problems that I think the youth, one of the
difficulties I ask you, what is the purpose of the life they're
just living for the moment, even the old people also, there's no
greater intention drive vision
for near life. Vision,
like you say, I get near to what hydrogen
I'm envisioning myself. I don't play the dream of coming so me as
a vision reaction.
So I'm going to be forward, but I will not allow for people. I will
not force the people to become lost, become wasted,
meaning the action of any personal acts meaningful from you, meaning
lettering
of any letter, means a male,
a queen
sir or a female
spiritual.
Why is Allah
mentioned? A male and female, a musician,
a.
We as a community, we cannot just not keep women's space.
It's a big problem. And also, obviously our buildings are
identity as they are generally small, but our Islamic centers,
our massage need to become two or four fingers as well. They're kind
of small women thought at the back.
There were conflict. Then it's kind of, there must be part of
these galleries which no
place somewhere else there. It must be a place where the family
can come to
the fathers are here. The brothers and daughters are there. The kids
are near. Security place. This is a collective space. So if Allah is
prepared to mention women, men and women individually, why are we to
consult them personally? It's
probably man.
And actually, it's harmful to our to our team,
because when people don't find the space, they go somewhere else.
There's
no space for me. You have to go somewhere else. Nobody else is.
So it's very important that is really
good. Allah says, some of you are from others. You know, once from
one source,
every man comes to man, woman. It opens man.
You want people something else about
women and women, there's an external reality, and is it
internal reality?
Is it external reality? And is it internal reality? What I mean by
external is like social customs and social laws, there are some
differences based on social interaction, it comes to males and
females. For example, males have certain responsibilities that
women don't have. Which are more responsibility for marriages, to
provide for his family. We should provide for his children. It
doesn't the women have the same degree of responsibility, but they
spoke about this external reality. When it comes to the laws of
Salah, there's some differences. The Women's faith doesn't make
salah. It's external laws. But when it comes to the internality
method of the Quran, there's no distinction.
There's no distinction when it comes to that leave responsibility
is no distinction when it comes to his account, there's no
distinction. Distinction when it comes to the Asian of the
rewarding minimum is a distinction when it comes to the inner reality
of Islam. There is no distinction between a male and a female, but
only distinction lies under externality in certain cases, and
it's important thing to think, to think to know. For example, tasca
is worshiping about every male and
every
female party distinction some of you from problem for others. But
so those who Haj Abu, those who were hijra,
and they were driven out in the Alim from their own wadu fi
sabili, and they were on FISA Bili, in my part, what
and they will, and they fought for who to do, and they were killed.
Allah says
he had him go back to the one look
at
what
difference, difference In
how many exit is using
the one s3
LA, we
love who Cafe run. Now we
have six. So we have three additional. It is very profound.
The Pool Albert made to up what Kaf cover up very
nice ones. How love who Cafe run
time to the full of those different categories. But there's
just some those who became Muslim. There was some sacrifice.
If you were to live the life of Islam that I told love, there's
going to be some sacrifices. That's the inevitable part of
life. You may find difficult from your family. You may find
difficulty from the community. You make to change your job, you made
to just your lifestyle. There's some sort of
challenge, because life
disappeared
when those people exert themselves and they foster peace or assist
love who come fearana, love is therefore to put Toki is therefore
emphasis, that's the first, the second, the first is therefore
Toki. The last letter, the noon at the end is therefore Toki. So we
have double emphasis, love,
definitely the noon suddenly encountered. Then. So who?
Nu means I Allah.
And Allah said, nu nuk means we, Allah. The KU is more personal.
The who is very much more personal than the nu. Allah says, if you do
this, if you're going to strike in my God, and if you're going to be
around in my god, la Bucha Rana, I will definitely, certainly,
undoubtedly, I personally, I will cover, I know from them say, he
had him there, say the English,
not only that one and
La bud Nahum again, Allah again. Allah. Simple emphasis, I Allah,
personally, I will definitely, undoubtedly, I will certainly
enter them. Jannat, him into gardens, multitudes of gardens,
Tajiri that flow in Taya from benidhi al,
anharu River. The
greatest,
the
best, the
most beautiful
of the woods, Abu beautiful.
Just discuss some of the detail behind this.
At the end of it saying it's such a beautiful piece here because the
earth Allah is responding back to the rule of thumb,
back to the guru, and Allah is saying, what, I am not going to
get anything that you do for Joyce,
the smallest thing that you do, I am thinking of it. Every
small thing you are doing, Allah
is thinking
of if
you're sitting bigger and you're struggling.
Allah is taking note. Allah is doing it. Allah is watching every
tiny thing Allah is taking note of, and the tiny thing that might
be telling to us will be our being grateful. This
is beautiful, because watching us all Allah
is watching you, and one of the beautiful names, Allah, such
a beautiful name in Europe,
a shabu, because we always say you must do things for other people.
But what did other people do for you? They recognize you. They
praise you. They compliment you. They make you feel so nice. They
place on Instagram account. They follow you. It's a nice, popular,
nice comment stage,
including
Marshall and we
do
that all those things,
where do you look for your your comfort and recognition from a
Shakur chakra used to be grateful. So Ashok, Guru is one who
appreciates,
appreciates. Because when you get into Allah, and Allah appreciates
you. What do you care about?
My rabble appreciates
me. My rag loves me. Is a shaky appreciates me, if that's what I'm
doing,
seek your recognition on your thought.
Seek your recognition on your thought.
Appreciate any Abu Asmaa, meaning any action of the personal life
Allah is going to appreciate, from male or female. You go from one
source and those who sacrifice, those going to endure, those are
going to thrive. They find it difficult, but they going to
strive and strive and strive. All I say, cover up.
I'm going to bury all those terrible things you did. I will
bury it that way. I will sort it out that will come say, I think I
will sort it out. It sorted out that
way.
I'm going to definitely take him and say Bismillah in the Jannah
into all these gods that you give me that and how waterpark property
love the universe flowing in front of it. And going to be a reward
from Allah. And with Allah is the greatest reward May Allah give us
the greatest reward agenda. May Allah
make us ongoing to get a third Allah's appreciation.
May Allah make us of those who can strive and even find difficult.
May we continue striving. Find difficult, may we continue
striving? Now be the peace of Christ and people come here to God
would be.
People on here, because you have a golden opportunity to get to know
Allah,
a golden opportunity doesn't come back.
My advice to you is still dying, don't sat down.
Don't go out of bed too much. And if you're out of bed, you might
take a Ruby. You ready. But if you going to be here, I would advise
you all to try to attend all the programs in the masjid, and also
to get tired you pull up the chin and the baraka is there in the
Majlis, the baraka is there in the city. And sometimes all the push
yourself. I guarantee when you push yourself against the brothers
are pushing themselves. They are feeling something, and
the brother not pushing themselves,
okay, but the brother that can guarantee all the brothers are
pushing themselves, going front all the time. It brings them
because they push themselves, guarantees for 30 days, 30
Thursday, you keep things for a few more days when you feel
something and sorry.
So try to push yourself and then we're not really nothing together.
We're nothing together.
Try not to socialize too much and relax too much. Try not to
sit here you feel nice to the tree and just relax. Just leave
some Quran you. Tired, just enjoy the silence. These are the
brothers who are there to really benefit
and remind myself also, don't spend too much time on the
matters, especially the rule becomes distracting.
You don't become distracting. I guarantee you have a long
conversation. Strength again. Do you
have a
long conversations the last few days? Push yourselves Inshallah,
push yourself. InshaAllah will give you always a death opening.
It will give you an opening inshaAllah, but you must push
yourselves all the problems. You try to take him in time of
the Fajr. You sit here. Bring the chair and sit here. You do your
Vik after you do receive further. You saw the work. You lie here,
Allah. You push yourself. You have the rest. You wake up. You pack
you again,
free time you was in mushrooms for your city, making Morocco. You're
remembering Allah packing the program, any salary packing the
project, but each of humans packing.
This is the training
mission, training Muhammad.
Qud, he made his dose on the first day. He said, why? He said that
indeed, in this life, there is a Jannah
in this life, that he is a genuine
and those who don't enter the Jannah in this life. Perhaps they
were in the Jannah in this life,
these agenda in this life, and the Jannah is being committed to
being, to be.
So we can see the Jannah of
respect. So.
