			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Shafi lumea Eva
mousseline, Mohammad Rasool Allah is Allah Allah Allah here early he was happy he was seldom does
leave and cathedra on cathedra Hama Babu, my dear brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:37
			The Who am i But today is the honor of slave hood propodeum of Allah subhanho wa Taala della the
honor of slave word of the robodebt of Allah subhanho wa Taala JELA Dillo Let me begin
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:47
			by making dua for Sheikh Mohammed Metalia Sri Ravi Ravi Lai Dara to whose inspiration I owe this
hotbar
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:55
			May Allah subhanaw taala grant him the best of the West in general for those who are either the
ladies up
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:17
			what I find the most impressive and endearing about him is his love for Allah subhanaw taala his
pride in being Abdullah, the slave of Allah, and his relationship with Allah subhanaw taala, which
is visible in every word that he speaks. There are lots of lectures on YouTube, many of them are
they also have English.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:26
			Subtitles. And of course, if you understand Arabic, that's the best. Do listen to them. Now I want
to remind myself with you
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:33
			about the greatest honor that Allah subhanaw taala bestowed upon us
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			the honor of being his slaves, his a bat.
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			Why is that an honor? How is it an honor to be a slave?
		
00:01:45 --> 00:02:00
			It is an honor to be a slave only of Allah subhanaw taala and it's an honor because Allah subhanaw
taala said that about the best of all creation. His beloved messenger Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu
ala you while he was I was sending
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:48
			the first items Ultra Surah Bani Israel, Allah subhanaw taala said I was with him in a shaytani R
rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim. Subhanak levy s lobby Abu de la isla Amin al Masjid Al haram Amin

who was me balsley a lot around that as that which means glorified and exalted, be He, Allah
subhanho wa Taala who took his name Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Abu Dhabi he.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:09
			Allah did not say even Rosalie, he said Abdi, his slave Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam for a
journey by night from Al Mustafa Luxa from Al Masjid Al haram in Makkah to Al Masjid Al Aqsa, the
father is Mosque, the neighborhood of which
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:32
			Baraka, Mahalo, the neighborhood, the surroundings of which we have blessed in order Lemuria who
will mean i attina in order that we might show him Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam our science, very
early in the who, who was Samuel Busey, really he janela general who is all here and also here.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:04:24
			Allah subhanaw taala as I mentioned in this ayah Allah subhanho wa Taala addressed or saw later a
Salam not as His Rasul, but as his ABD. This is the highest of all honors because the honor of being
a Rasul is the highest or honors and when Allah subhanaw taala addresses His Rasul as the Abdus
Abdullah, this is the highest of all honors that any human being can possibly be given which is what
Allah subhanaw taala gave to his to his beloved messenger, Muhammad Rasul Allah is Allah is Allah,
one will have Torah Delano narrated that was, well as Russell have said, Whoever performs voodoo,
and does it well, and says, a shadow Allah Ilaha illa Allah. Well, I shall do one more Hamedan I
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:47
			will do who are solo. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah subhanho wa
taala. And I bear witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Abu rasuluh is his slave and His
Messenger, eight gates of Jannah will be open for this person, and he may enter through whichever he
wishes.
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:59
			Let us thank Allah subhanaw taala that he gave us the guidance to recognize that we are his very bad
his slaves to appreciate that honor. And to thank him Gela DeLallo
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:07
			for this honor and for keeping us in the ummah of His beloved messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:43
			My submission to you our brothers and sisters is that the best indicator of any relationship is the
attention that we give to it, how focused we are, when we are with that person with that individual.
Do other thoughts and feelings distract us from the one that we are with? When we are with someone
we love our child or parent or spouse, anyone. We are totally and completely engaged. We look into
their eyes, we listen to them, nothing can distract us not even our phones. Our attention is an
indicator,
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:56
			a metric of our love. It really is that simple. But what happens when we are with Allah subhanaw
taala when we are with Salah when we are in Salah what happens.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			Let me tell you a true story.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:08
			I quote from Benjamin Gandhi's tweet. He says, in September 2002, the Tibetan monk,
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:30
			Buddhist monk Mingyu Rinpoche a flow 18 hours over three days to reach a brain imaging lab in
Madison, Wisconsin, run by the neuroscientist Richie Davidson. He was taken to the ice to the EEG
room to have his brainwaves measured during meditation.
		
00:06:31 --> 00:07:03
			The resulting scans shocked everyone. The protocol was that Mingyu had to alternate between one
minute 60 seconds of meditation on compassion, and 30 seconds of neutral resting period. So he's
doing this 60 seconds of meditation, and then stop meditation for 30 seconds, he would have to do
that four times in rapid succession to ensure confidence in any effects measure.
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:31
			But the scientists had doubt whether this will actually work, David said was himself, a meditator
knew that it takes time to settle down settle the mind much longer than a few seconds or a few
minutes. Surely, it would be impossible for Mingyu to enter these states so quickly, you will need
to achieve an inner quiet almost instantaneously for the experimenters to work to succeed.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:35
			We all eyes on the EEG monitor.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:55
			Meaning you're the people who are watching the monitor mean you began the meditation, suddenly,
there was a huge burst of electrical activity on the display. All these scientists and researchers
who are monitoring this, they assume that he must have moved and tagged on that on the sensors.
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:15
			So this is, you know, an accident. But strangely, this electrical burst lasted exactly 60 seconds.
Also strange, the giant spikes diminished, but was still present. During his 30 seconds resting
period, it was clear that Mingyu had not moved at all.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			Everyone watched in silence. As the experiment continued.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:33
			As the next 62nd meditation period began another huge electrical spike. This pattern repeated each
time he was instructed to meditate on compassion.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:09:13
			The team knew that they were witnessing something never seen before in a lab. But this was just the
beginning. MingHua was run was then run through a batch of tests with an fMRI with the same
protocol. During a 60 seconds meditation mingles brain circuitry for empathy rose to a level 800%
greater than the rest period. Such an extreme increase, which such rabidity was baffling. The
closest resemblance to this kind of brain activity would be an epileptic seizure. But those are
brief, they're not maintained for a full minute.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			The findings turn the world of neuroscience Mingo return to his home in Japan and vanished
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:36
			a few years earlier, he had around that he will be starting another meditation retreat. Now this is
not your typical western 10 day meditation spa. This is a minimum of three years
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:57
			in a remote Hermitage, high in the Himalayas in the mountains. During these three years, nobody
heard a word from him. Suddenly, in November 2015, more than four after more than four years of no
contact, meaning you're suddenly reappears at his monastery.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			Only a few months later, he was back
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:32
			I got on a plane to the lab in Wisconsin. With scans from 2002 2010 and 2016. Davidson and his and
his team discovered something remarkable about being us bred. He is in the 99th percentile compared
to the brains of people of the same age. So if you had 100 People all 41 years old as he was, he
would have the youngest brain, essentially his brain with ease, it was aging more slowly than the
average person's brain.
		
00:10:34 --> 00:11:20
			Although he was 41, he had the brain of a 33 year old. But mania was only a single case, and
Davidson had lined up over a dozen more advanced meditators for scans. More data was needed for the
next decade. And look at these people's dedication for the next decade. Engineer and Dr. Lutz
analyzed the data from Davidson scans and one day they stumbled upon a pattern hidden in the data.
They found it they found it in the baseline reading, all the monks and Yogi's had the same pattern
of elevated gamma oscillations before any test. Now gamma is the fastest brainwave, which occurs
during moments when regions of the brain are firing in harmony. Think of moments of insight where
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:50
			everything just clicks is perfect, perfect flow state is achieved briefly for maximum performance.
For most people, these moments are very, very brief, maybe a fraction of a second. But for these
monks, these gamma moments of mental harmony are amplified and extended to incredible heights. On
the average, they showed a 25x that is 25 times greater amplitude of gamma oscillations during
baseline than the controls.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:12:41
			In other words, this is a permanent state of higher functioning, a state of higher awareness and
harmony that continues throughout their daily lives, not just meditation. This was a revolutionary
moment, no brain lab had ever seen gamma oscillations that persist for longer than fractions of a
second. yet amazingly, they discovered these gamma patterns continued and even persisted while the
monks were asleep. Ultimately, Davidson and his team had discovered a huge hidden treasure of brain
transformed beyond the ordinary. Now imagine what is beyond the shallow grasp of the material
science of the West, what else had been cultivated and grown in the minds and hearts of these men?
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:09
			As interesting as the story is, I think the scientists missed the most important aspect of the monks
practice, the moral component of Buddhism. It's the changes they make in their hearts that
facilitate the changes in their brains. That is, their cultivation of compassion, compassion and
kindness. And of course, now, question that you should ask me why did I tell you this story?
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:11
			To ask one question.
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:21
			If Davidson and his researchers come here, and want to measure my brainwaves, when I'm in Salah,
this is our meditation, Salah
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			what are they going to find?
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:47
			And if I want to escape this in tents, potential embarrassment and humiliation by pointing to some
Malema or Sufi or Harvey's or curry or chef and say Gordon are not me who measure his brainwaves,
they will be superior to the Buddhist monks, because in Salah we are in the we stand in the presence
of Allah subhana wa Tala diligence.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51
			If I want to make that statement and point to somebody who should appoint to
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:54
			who should I name
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:44
			which Muslim do I know who can measure up to that standard? Even though Allah subhanaw taala
mentioned this specific metric, as a distinguishing feature of a woman, a Latina, whom is if a
Latina whom V is or let him cause you. They are the people who in their Salah have also have this
intense concentration. My brother and sisters talk is easy, very easy. I know we tell the story of
Ali Vitali Alonso and the arrow that they extracted from his leg when he was in Salah. My question
is, why do we have to go back 1400 years to find such a story? What is a good of a story that cannot
be that cannot be repeated? The Buddhist monk is not telling them to talk to Siddhartha Gautam. He
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:46
			says talk to me be like me do like I do.
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:58
			Tell me who in our history used to say this. The Sahaba Muhammad Rasul Allah Azza wa sallam, once
again, I was go into history, over 1000 years to find them.
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			There
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			That is our tragedy. We have lost the connection with our love geladeira law
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			that is the reality.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:21
			How can we get it back and loss around it that is teaching us manners? Allah Samantha said what you
love her you don't need to hear Dean Fatah hi you be as Sarah minha
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:34
			far away either how you don't be the hatin for how you we are Hazara Amina Oh,
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:49
			in the law God Allah Alisha in her Siva. Allah said when you are greeted when somebody greets you
with a greeting, greet in return with what is better than that, or at least return it equally.
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:55
			Certainly, Allah subhanaw taala is ever a careful account taker of all things.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			They have somebody says do Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. You don't know.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:04
			You say at least
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:10
			equal to what is it? Why Nick was Allahu wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:18
			If somebody says do Salam Alaikum you say y equal Busara Warahmatullah you work out better than is
beauty.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:37
			Now think about this, when we greet Allah by having Iman in Him by saying Alhamdulillah by saying La
ilaha illa Allah He della della who returns the greeting by handing us the key to bring us close to
him.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:53
			The key to being close to him, this is in your hand. This is in my hand, because he said first
Caroni as CoCo was cruelly Wallah talk for all. He said, Therefore, remember me
		
00:16:54 --> 00:17:10
			and I will remember you and be grateful. And never be ungrateful. When you believe in Him, Jalaja
Allah who the key to being close to him, shift over to you. He says, Since you believe in me, here
is the key to being close to me ticket.
		
00:17:11 --> 00:17:19
			If you would like me to remember you, they were moving. You want me to help you? Help me help my
dean.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			But we must take the first step. We must show our eagerness
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:30
			to connect with our Rob geladeira his response is assured.
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:50
			Allah said, Yeah, are you and Armando in Tonzura en la Yun circle, we will beat up dharma. Allah
said oh you will believe if you help Allah meaning helping the cause of Allah. He geladeira Allah
who will help you and make your feet firm.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:18:28
			My brothers and sisters, let us learn to talk to Allah subhanho Not no formality, no barriers and
those who didn't set any. The handle is that special time to talk to Allah subhanaw taala the last
1/3 of the night or whatever the alarm reported that Rasul Allah, said Our Rob della della, who
descends to the lowest heaven in the last third of every night saying, Who is calling upon me that I
may answer Him who is asking from me that I may give him who is seeking my forgiveness that I may
have forgiven.
		
00:18:29 --> 00:19:18
			And this is in multiple agreed upon Hadees Mustafa wanna lay in Bukhari and Muslim. Now don't let
this time pass. Do not let this time pass without benefiting from it. And get your families involved
in this so that you can all benefit from Allah subhanaw taala, special mercy, get the benefit of the
dua of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he made this door for those who pre tahajjud abora. Delano
reported that so Allah is Allah Salam said, may Allah subhanho wa Taala have mercy upon a man who
wakes up at night and prays and wakes up his wife. And if she refuses, He sprinkles what on her
face? And may Allah subhanaw taala mercy upon a woman who wakes up at night and prays and awakens
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:24
			her husband, and if he refuses, she sprinkles water on his face. And this isn't even imagine.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:37
			Finally, the sign of special closeness with someone is the secrets that you share with them. Things
that only that person knows about you
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			and nobody else. You trust that person with knowledge about you that you do not disclose to anyone
else. Disclosure makes us vulnerable. So it is unwise to disclose confidential information to
someone who cannot trust who is the one you can trust totally and completely without any reservation
because he already
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:09
			knows whatever you want to tell him and he is the only one who can change it for you if you want it
to change Who's that? He is Allah.
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:14
			So ask yourself as the boys as the podcast
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:27
			Hello Garcia Rhona in law Binaca ouabain Hola. Hello Casa de Auton
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:44
			Hala Cassia Rhona in the law Vaynerchuk Nakata. Hola Hola. casada autant de
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:45
			la
		
00:20:50 --> 00:21:05
			the word said, Do you have a secret with Allah? between you and Allah? No one knows except you. Do
you have a secret with Allah? By Ntaganda when Allah between you and Allah? Do you have a hidden
charity? Something good you did?
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			That nobody knows, except Allah.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			Let's ask ourselves this question.
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:16
			I advise you on myself to create such assets.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:18
			Don't tell people
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:41
			forget about Facebook. Forget about sending videos and photos to people. secret that only Allah
knows. And keep it secret don't tell anybody. And when you need Allah subhanaw taala set by me when
you really really need it in a in dire emergency emergencies May Allah protect us from the
situation. Invoke Allah make dark Allah subhanaw taala by those deeds,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:51
			as we know from the story of the three who are trapped in a cave, and Allah subhanaw taala freed
them because of their hidden deeds that they are done only for him.
		
00:21:52 --> 00:21:58
			We all know this beautiful story. Let us build our asset pool with Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:23
			this fabulous Sisters is real wealth, which appreciates like nothing material can ever hope to do.
This is the web that will go with us when we leave this world. Let us pledge our allegiance to Allah
subhanho della della della and renew our pledge to be his true and faithful slaves who can look for
his mercy on the day when we meet him.
