My dear brothers and sisters, we start with the praise and
glorification of the perfection of Allah subhanaw taala your Lord and
mine
and we send the choices of prayers and blessings on his Noble
Messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and his family
and his companions.
And may Allah subhanaw taala make us among those who follow them in
the right way.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala for the purification of our new force
for our inner selves.
Because Allah is the guardian and the protector of the knifes
before we start
I'd like to see a show of hands how many of you know about the
skeleton knifes How many of you have attended lectures or courses
about it? How many of you practice some oral aspects of it, so any of
those, so that I know what the audience is.
So a few sent out to law America.
So what I'm going to try and do in this first session, and Allah
subhanaw taala put Baraka in our time is to give you an
introduction on this
so that we are all on the same page.
Let's ask a question, what makes us human?
What makes us different
than every animal out there?
They eat, we eat, they drink, we drink, they sleep, we sleep. They
reproduce, we reproduce.
So what makes us who we are? Human beings? Yes.
freewill sister says.
So let's go back
into the genesis of men.
Allah subhanaw taala out of his wisdom, then we are late comers in
the universe. All of this has been in existence. They tell us
billions of years, maybe 14 billion 15 billion years. We have
come towards the end of that. And Allah subhanaw taala created our
father
from clay from stinking mud.
And he learned that form for a long time.
And then at some point, Allah subhanaw taala asked the angels to
do Sajida
to other Melissa and Allah subhanaw taala tells us in the
Quran, when he did that Allah subhanaw taala says for either so
way to Hoonah factor houfy He Marathi Gulu surgery, when we had
blown from our life giving spirit into this the roar,
then Allah subhanaw taala ordered them. Now you fall in frustration
and they all fell in Sajida except a bliss.
So that's what enables us that till that material form was there,
the angels were not asked to prostate
to do such that it was when that ennobling spirit the roar was
infused into this was blown into this clay structure, that Allah
subhanaw taala ennobled him as a human being and asked the angels
to do such and we're not going to go into the detail of what that
says that means. Obviously, it was not a Sajida off worship. Okay, it
was just to honor him and such that
has been in previous traditions, including with the people of the
book, not as an act of worship, okay?
So that's what makes us human. That's what makes us the best of
his creation is our room. It's not our material self, we all know we
are made of two components, that which comes from the earth, which
is our bodies, which is satisfied and needs things of the world,
like food and drink, and so on so forth, that it seeks and is
satisfied by searching for things for its survival, that our
earthly.
But what enables us or RO, has no need for food,
or drink. In fact, Nuru feels better when we are fasting.
Okay, because the root finds its satisfaction from where it came
from a heavenly dimension from its connectedness to Allah subhanaw
taala, because that's where it came from. So its dimensions of
happiness and satisfaction and needs are not of the worldly
things.
And that's why we find no matter what many people achieve of this
dunya
they still many of them do not feel internally satisfied.
Because the dunya is finite,
it's limited.
And its attractions
continue, they cannot be satisfied. So even if you keep
gaining all of these, you do not achieve satisfaction. The proof of
that is you always want more
if you have a million you want a billion if you have a billion you
want tell 10 billion if you have 10 billion you want 100 billion,
what is that proving to you?
That the root which comes from the infinite cannot be satisfied by
what is finite.
Okay, that's why Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam in the most
beautiful and simple way he tells us, that giving us an example,
that the stomach giving us,
sort of signifying by the stomach, our desires, of the human being
can never be filled. If he has one value of gold, he wants a second
one. And the only thing that will fill it is depth which is the mud
of the grave. In other words, there is no satisfaction
which brings us to the concept of happiness, we are all seeking
happiness, what is happiness, if we define that happiness is the
attainment and achievement by whatever you want to look at.
By things which are by its nature, for example, for the eyes, what is
the happiness of the eyes, if you put a perfume in front of the
eyes, or there is perfume in this room, you think the eyes will find
happiness and satisfaction No, because that's not its nature. But
if you see something beautiful, the eyes feel that for the nose,
it's the smell, for the taste, its food and so on so forth. So we
have different dimensions of happiness, what gives you
satisfaction and contentment according to the nature. And the
happiness the real happiness of the bulk of the room is its
connectedness with Allah subhanaw taala and if it is not connected
with Allah subhanaw taala nothing else can fill that void.
And that's why those who are not connected with Allah subhanaw
taala are always looking for more toys to fill that void and that
void will never be filled. Okay? If you're looking for happiness,
where it is not placed, we are not going to find it.
So Allah subhanaw taala tells us that he sent our father back
to this sent our father to this earth.
So
what does that mean? Allah subhanaw taala created this earth
for a purpose.
And he created us for a purpose, everything that Allah subhanaw
taala does has wisdom and a purpose. And Allah subhanaw taala
tells us in the Quran, the answer to the question that everybody
asks because it's the nature of the human being to know why I am
here who am I? And Allah smart Allah answers that in one IRA for
my follow up to Jin will insert it earlier.
For
that I have not created jinns for mankind for any other purpose
except for my udia for my worship, and the worship is a very general
term in Islam. It's not just your Salah, and so on. And
so that's the purpose and Allah subhanaw taala created the whole
universe to help us to serve that purpose of OBEDIA to Allah
subhanaw taala.
So our whole life here, which is limited, even if we let live 100
years, it's a very short time.
Some of us who are in their 50s and 60s, it seems like yesterday,
okay, that we were little kids. By a week ago, I was in Lucknow, and
I saw the streets where I was in college, you know, that's more
than 40 years ago, and it seems like yesterday.
No, Harlan Salem lived more than 950 years on the day of judgment,
He will be asked to just giving us an example. How long did you stay
on earth?
He will say Yom or Oh bother you like a day or part of a day. In
relative sense. That's what it will seem like okay. And none of
us I can guarantee you will live 950 years. Okay.
Allah Swanton has given us a frame of reference that life is short.
This is a we are not permanent residents. We are not citizens of
this Earth. Even though we say we have a permanent residence so this
is my home, this is not my home. My home is where my home is where
my father came from, where my ancestor came from. And my whole
life is my journey back to the home from where are the Malays,
Salah where my room was created our whole journey, whole life is
that journey back to where we came from.
That's why Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam taught us he says,
couldn't fit dunya and NACA,
because we live in this world as if you're a stranger, you don't
belong here.
Or you are a traveler, that's even less he doesn't put his residence
anywhere. He knows his destination is ahead. So how, what is this
journey, and this is the journey for which all of the Gambia came
to teach us that this, we are live has a purpose. It's to get back, I
am here so that I can get back I am a displaced person. I'm a
refugee of Jannah.
And I need to get back to my home. Today, throughout the world there
are refugees after 50 years of Philistine What do they want to do
they want to go back home, we should feel a greater urge, I
really want to get back home, which is
how do we
go on this journey. And that's what this whole thing is all
about.
So Allah subhanaw taala created this world. So that in this world,
everything that we see are signs, whether there are physical things,
such as what we see around the skies, the stars, the moon, the
sun, or things that happen events, everything is a creation of Allah
subhanaw taala and everything is meant to help us know our Creator.
So the creation and by creation we means mean everything other than
Allah subhanaw taala was meant
to unveil the creek creator, that you see the sky, and you see the
creation of you remember Allah subhanaw taala and you Say Subhan
Allah Who could have raised these without pillars and nothing
happens and this has been going on for billions of years, who created
the sun with such perfection, who created this moon to show us
phases of the month. And no matter what we look at the oceans, the
mountains, the greenery, the creatures on the earth, under the
earth, in the heavens, everywhere, everything from the smallest
creature. Now you have one of these wonderful movies that show
you about these little little creatures, things under the ocean,
you know,
to teach us
the beauty of the Creator.
In the ocean, some of the most beautiful fish in the most
beautiful colors are there.
And they tell us that they can see colors.
They're created to show you what Allah subhanaw taala wants
you to see that you say you say the moment you see that a heart
that's pure, nothing comes up when you see anything. The only thing
that naturally comes out is Subhan, Allah
Subhana Allah and it should come from it should come automatically.
Because the heart that is purified sees Allah subhanaw taala. Whereas
the heart that's not purified, that same creation, the same thing
becomes a veil.
From Allah subhanaw taala an atheist, or any denier who doesn't
say Allah doesn't wreck acknowledge Allah subhanaw taala
says the same thing, we'll find a reason for it an extra, oh, this
is like this. The earth moves Yes, because they're tectonic plates,
and they are drifting apart and the pressure builds up, they will
always look at the process. And they will not look beyond as who
has made the laws and rules and regulation, that such things
happen.
And Allah Subhana Allah mentions His Ayat and the Quran about the
creation of the heavens in the earth, the creation within
ourselves. And he says that I will show you my signs in the in the
app in the in the heavens and within yourselves.
He keeps you know, the more science advances, the more you
see, the more you see,
the more you should be an off ALLAH SubhanA.
Why do we not see that because the instrument that is used to see
Allah subhanaw taala has become distorted or cloudy or dusty. And
that's our heart.
Allah subhanaw taala talks about the color.
So what I'm going to do is give you a schematic, I hope people in
the back can see this, I don't know if it's big enough just to
put some terms here, because we are all beginners. And I should
also
tell you very clearly that I'm just conveying to you what I have
learned from my shoe. This is not something that I have originated
I don't claim that I have achieved any of these goals or tasks here
that we are talking about. I am just like you are married a seeker
and hoping that one day by the Grace of Allah subhanaw taala, I
will achieve some of this. And there is nobody who
and there may be many people here who are much further along. But
today it was it's my turn to remind you and me of this. So it
does not imply any of that. And especially with the introduction
that was given, it was a good introduction, because what my chef
said was that he has a hub of the dunya
because he drives fancy cars. And you cannot have hub of dunya and
hobo of Allah's mantle on the same heart. So he's telling you this my
stage, and then he's telling you that he drives fast, and speed is
equated with who shaitan.
So he's telling you the right assessment.
There are certain terms that we use in the process of business
gear, and the word gear, as you know comes from
this zakah is from the same root. Zakat is from the same root means
to purify, to increase even means when you prune a tree when you cut
certain parts of a tree. Why do you do that so that it grows
properly. Okay, so now we're talking about this process, which
we'll get into, there are certain terms that are used, some of them
are used interchangeably in some if you read some of the
literature, the word rule and calm enough sometimes are used
interchangeably.
However, some of the scholars have tried to sort of tease it out into
different just for our understanding and these are not
physical things within the body because these are all things of
the unseen Okay. When we use the word Kozub, which is translated
loose loosely as the heart we are not talking about the physical
heart which is a piece of flesh as Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said,
but we are talking about the spiritual heart which is which is
a dimension that cannot be described in material terms has is
somehow linked to the physical heart because Allah subhanaw taala
has used that word
When we use the word roar, which is the life giving spirit that
Allah subhanaw taala, or the soul as some people translate it,
again, it's not something if the material world, it's not of this
four dimensional world of, you know, three dimensions of space
and one dimension of time, because it's not limited by time. Okay?
When a person dies, we know the root is extracted, we don't see
anything leaving, the doors, maybe locked, windows are locked,
nothing leaves we don't see but it's gone. Similarly, when we
talked about the nuts, this is again, our inner instincts,
desires and things that we are going to talk about in greater
detail.
That the is the sovereign is the king. Within us the culture is the
one that ultimately decides, chooses.
And the color has two influences two major influences.
It looks you see the eye looking upwards because we want to put the
roof and the Spirit as up because it's a heavenly dimension. It gets
impulses from the raw, which are angelic impulses, from Divine
inspirations, Allah subhanaw taala put certain things in in your
heart. And similarly, the culture is being fed constantly by our
knifes, our lower self, what we have made ourselves into, if it's
a positive type of knifes, and the and all of these terms are
mentioned in the Quran. Allah subhanaw taala describes three
kinds of nuts, not some Amara, and
lawanna and Martoma in Ocala. Samantha describes that Allah
subhanaw taala talks about the rule, Allah subhanaw taala talks
about Allah subhanaw taala talks about Apple,
Apple, if you want to call it intelligence, where is
intelligence we say, well, it's in the brain, but it's not something
you can extract out. Okay. So to understand this is the sovereign.
The apple, if you would, is the CEO, it carries out the what
decides is and plans how it is to be done. And then it sends its
impulses to the Jabara to our limbs to our eyes to our tongue to
yours parts of the body, of how to act, and we produce actions
through that.
So this sort of diagram, you can understand that if we want to
purify our bulb, and that's a necessity, because we mentioned
this in the hood by yesterday, that Ibrahim Ali Salam in his dua
to Allah subhanaw taala, he says, well out of Zuni Yama Yura phone,
Oh Allah, do not disgrace me and dishonor me on the day when you
will raise them, when you will raise us the Day of Resurrection.
Then he defines this day by saying Yo Mala Yun Fong maloom weather
balloon, a day in which all of our worldly possessions he summarizes
them into things, well, and children.
Because all of our struggles generally is for these two, that
they will not benefit.
The wealth will not benefit, as Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
taught us
the meaning of the hadith is
that your wealth is only that which you have used or sent for
the morrow for tomorrow, by giving inside the kind spending in the
right ways. The rest of what you call your wealth, I'm worth $1
billion is not yours, that belongs to your inheritors. It's not
yours.
And what greater loss is for a person to have all of that? Never
use it, but on the day of judgment have to answer for it also.
We call that a double whammy
didn't benefit in the dunya and becomes an other on the day of
judgment, because you have to answer for that.
Among the Ashura MOBA, shara, the 10, close companions of the
Prophet sallallahu sallam. There were some very wealthy people, one
of whom was Abdullah planted now.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam once saw, and he told now that I
saw that my companions because for Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam these
time, things dimensions were changed as you know, he was
showing things that are going to happen which
Is future for us like the Jana and the NAR and people in the Jana and
people in the NA. He says you were You took so long to come from
judgment into Jana that I got concerned.
He said Ya rasool Allah I had to give accounting for all of my
well.
In another narration after Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
had passed away.
wonder there was a lot of turmoil in in Medina, you know, whenever
these big caravans used to come, you know, there was, you know, all
of excitement. And our mother I shot of the Aloha said what's
going on? Said the caravan from Syria has come up the Romans
caravan, it's bigger than this loaded with this. And she just
remarked, she said, I heard the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
said that he will enter Jannah crawling on his knees
to someone went and told of the run and now
that this is what our Mother has said. So he came, he left
everything he came, he said, Oh Momineen I heard this. He said
yes. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said this about you.
So he went back, took the whole caravan gave the whole thing in
South Africa.
Because he understood the what that meant was he would have to
give an accounting and this is from people who have been given
the Bashara of Jana. So no wealth is going to benefit. No children
will benefit and we know on that day people as Allah subhanaw taala
gives us that scene that they will turn away mothers from their
children, children mothers and fathers and you know the ones you
say you are my beloved you you are this and my love and you know my
Valentine and whatever else you want to use completely disowned
because it's a day of enough See, this is the status of the Gambia
knifes enough see Me me me the ultimate day of selfishness of
self preservation, because they're so scared nobody will benefit
Illa when upon lying because I've been selling except one. The only
thing that benefits is you go back to Allah with that culture that is
sound selling Salim means completely completely preserved
and sound from all traces of a shake in every form with nothing
but pure heat in it
and how is that going to happen that's what this whole struggle is
that the things that affect that state of the heart, because the
colored that is completely saline sees things exactly for what they
are.
Okay when we talked about looking at the if the signs of Allah
subhanaw taala and his creation, called that Salim sees Allah
subhanaw, Taala and everything.
Everything that happens to me, good and bad,
are called that a surname sees that and sees the real meaning
behind it. You know this world is a place of trial of fitna
of colored that whose eyes are clear, can see through the dust of
the fitna or this fitna is coming. I know what it means, even if it's
the fifth ultimate fitna of the gel, a cup that is saline will see
on the forehead of the gel Kapha
nobody else will see it. It's not the physical eyes that a sin.
It's the hearts
so our whole effort is
to take back to Allah subhanaw taala a heart with which he sent
us
pure from everything, except the greatness and glory of Allah
subhanaw taala the real turfed Tawheed is not a word
Starfy there's not a definition I can ask and everybody will give
you the heat means this it's the Oneness of Allah. It's the this is
the absolute Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala can so on so forth
and his Rubia and his oluwo here and his smell suffer. Those are
still definitions.
So the realtor hate is that the heart sees only Allah subhanaw
taala in its way, in its own way and recognizes Allah Subhan Allah
gives the example of this in the eye of noon in the Quran. Allah
subhanaw taala describes the heart of how ne described this shining
clear glass.
You see when you look in a mirror, if it's nice and shiny, what does
it show you it shows you exactly the image as to what it is. Now if
you make it concave, I'm going to look smaller than I am if you make
it convex
So I'm going to look bigger than I am, if you make a distorted, I may
look like a monster.
If there's just subtle on it, you say it looks like there's a human
being behind. That's the state of our globe, that we see things
according to the state of our hearts in another way, simple
example, if you put on sunglasses that are red, what are you going
to see, everybody's going to look watch red, you put on green, you
are going to see things through the lens of your heart.
If my heart is so corrupt, and it has a disease, for example, of
lying.
Now, you can bring a Siddiq for the Allahu Anhu in front of me,
and he says something because of the lens inside me, I'm going to
think what he's lying. Because that's all I know, I know, I lie
that everybody else lies.
So we need to bring ourselves at that level of balance, where
things are exactly as they are.
That's why some of the scholars have described the state of the
cult, as some of you may have seen if you've ever been on a lake,
when there is no wind, and no boats, it's completely still like
glass. And I actually have pictures of things like that. And
you can see all the mountains and all the trees as if it's a mirror
because it's reflecting reality as it is the reality of the world.
And you go when there is a lot of turbulence there are waves and
winds and you know chopping, you can't see anything.
And that's what our lives are either you can have a life of
tranquility like a still lake where everything is clear to you
and therefore you you know what it is, or it's in a state of
turbulence and turmoil and stress and depression and anxiety and
suicide and all of those things, it all depends on our interstate.
Going to talk a little bit about the characteristics of the knifes
if we are going to use the word knifes as our self or our desires
or our instincts, Allah subhanaw taala having made us from Play has
put worldly needs and instincts within us. The moment the child is
born, every hour and a half the child is crying, because there is
an instinct of hunger
and thirst and comfort and so on so forth. So these are things that
we have, these are necessary, but they need to be regulated. So
there is the lowest level of the knifes the animal like knifes
which we can call animal or cattle like knifes or Bahamian absolute
behemoth, like a cattle. What is the life of a cattle like we said
four things that got a cow or a goat will spend its time in four
things.
Eating, drinking, sleeping or reproducing, there's nothing else.
They're not talking politics. They're not going they don't have
entertainment, this is their entertainment, this is their life.
However, what they don't do,
they're not thinking of taking over the next ranch. They're not
thinking of killing people and things like that this is the basic
things. So, if our 24 hour life is spent looking for food, drink,
sleep and satisfying our sexual desires
we are exactly alike
Okay, now, we said that these are our needs when they become
unregulated, okay. When that becomes my goal, that I have to
have this I have to have eat and eat and eat, then my stomach
becomes like that of a cow.
Right?
And so on so forth without going into further details. That's one
level. And again, why are we talking about this in the process
of Ischia? I have to tell you, this also is not for learning and
teaching and lectures like I am doing it is for me to reflect. And
for my correction. I'm not here to correct you
I'm just here to remind you and remind myself so that I may act on
it. This is not Oh, I'm listening to this, I have to go and tell my
friend she needs to do this or he'd know I need to do this is for
me to have this standard here and see where do I fit?
If 99% of my time is in the pursuit of these four things,
which is what is in the west and now becoming here, the same thing,
then I should say, I have a Bahamian knifes
the next level lower than that, or worse we are using that is what is
called a sub or enough's or predatory knifes means there are
animals that do the same for things, but they do something
more. And they are killing, you know, like wolves and hyenas and
tigers, they're also killing others.
So if I have that trait, also wanting to harm others, and I
don't care, the wolf will not kill one to satisfy if, if a wolf is
left let loose in a whatever you call it, the place where the where
the cows are or the sheep, it will kill 10 It will only eat one.
So if my desire is, let me wipe out the competition. That's what
we do in the corporate world, right?
If my desire is that I don't care about anybody else,
even if I have to harm them.
Then I have more than a Bahamian knifes I have a predatory or
secretary or a hyena, like knifes.
And then lowest lower than that is a shaytani knifes. What are the
characteristics of shape on deception?
Wanting to make laws and rule rule the hearts of people. So if I'm
among those who says well, Allah says this and I say yeah, he says
this But
I don't accept this. I don't understand this. Allah says this,
this law of the Sharia is unjust.
And we hear this unfortunately, from some Muslims.
I don't believe in the Sunnah only believe in the Quran sounds words
of ignorance. May Allah guide all of us.
So that is a sub shaitan enough's. That's the worst because what is
the job of shaitan? What did he promise Allah subhanaw taala. He
said, I will come from in front and from behind and from here and
there and
to do what? To lead them astray to deceive them. What did he do to
our father?
He didn't say I've come to deceive you. He said I am those who give
Nasi ha I have come to give you good advice. I want the best for
you. You will be like angels. This will be good for you. See to this
no problem.
Luffy Mosqueda it
deception and now what does he do the same thing?
Yet Allah subhanaw taala out of His Mercy has not given the
shaitan any power over us. He has zero power.
The only thing he is capable of doing his what is introducing an
idea.
A llama he puts a little seed he throws a little whisper. Whisper
sir
What do you think of this?
If you do this, you could be a billionaire.
See that beautiful woman go there just glance.
He knows. And how does shaytaan come to us?
Because this color, this fortress of the bulb which we have to guard
is like a fortress has gates
and the gates have keys.
So if you hand
don't control these keys, one key is
the eyes.
If you don't God and Allah subhanaw taala specifies that in
the Quran, I mean, it's that important. believing men believing
women, guard your eyes, lower your eyes. Why? It's just a glance.
Just to Grant's
one of the cousins of, of gospel, Allah salAllahu Salam was sitting
behind him. Now imagine the scene sitting behind the plot.
SallAllahu Alaihe Salam on his camo. Imagine his, you know, I
always think that his chest must be against the back of Rasulullah
sallallahu listen on the camera like this. He was a son of not
Abdullah Navbars but one of his brothers.
And they stopped and there was
a young woman who came to us something.
And so this young man is looking at her. And rasool Allah Salah
listen takes his hands and puts it in front of his eyes in a
beautiful way.
For what to protect him from what the shaytaan would give, if we
don't God our eyes.
And today this is very, very critical, not just for our
brothers, which is even more critical but for our sisters
because Allah subhanaw taala mentions both believing men and
believing women.
Today we assault our visual senses. Allah subhanaw taala has
put what you know 100 30 million receptors Yeah 130 million, each
one to give you a picture and see his science and we sit in front of
TV, where there is all kinds of Fashion One current every act of
disobedience and we spend hours looking at it.
Do you think it has no effect on you?
That is seriously damaging to the world. Because it stimulates the
lower knifes
even if you're just looking at food channels 24/7 How to cook
what does it do? It stimulates what part of your knifes
anybody remember?
The cat like the behemoth because appetite, I need to eat this I
need to eat this I need to eat this. Whereas what is Rasul? Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam teaches that the worst vessel the worst
container that you can fill is your stomach.
With all due respect to our beloved people, I have invitations
every day to eat somewhere and four meals a day. I'm used to one
and a half meal a day. This is their Ikram, but it's is sometimes
it's a punishment.
How much can you end them they say eat more out of their love, of
course, eat more. It's just one week it's fun,
but it is spiritually harmful.
So, inshallah after hearing this, our hosts will not insist on
eating more. taste a little bit in sha what's the rule for eating?
What is the Sunnah rule for eating? Can anybody tell me
1/3
Okay, how many agree with that? 1/3 Food 1/3 Drink and 1/3 air how
many agree with that? Raise your hand
and the rest disagree then you tell me
do you know this is the last part of the Hadith?
What is the beginning of the Hadith Rasul allah sallallahu
alayhi salam says it is sufficient
Lokomat a few bytes, let's have food.
To keep the back straight. He says that sufficient back straight
means to give you enough strength that you don't feel weak. But if
you must eat more than that, then the supplies 1/3 Food whether
that's the upper limit, we take that as the norm or the lower
limit. And of course, we don't stop at that. And I'm talking
about myself, especially in the last week.
So
do these physical things have some impact that we do on the culture?
Absolutely. What is the proof of that? Let me take an example.
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam taught us to do Whoa.
What are we doing? Washing what?
External limbs face? What does he tell us is the effect of this.
What is the for the ILO model?
It washes away your sins, our sins physical.
Sins are internal. It's not something physical. What is
teaching us that what you do outside has an effect on the
inside. That's why we are recommended and I recommend if you
take nothing from this whole thing is to practice one thing is to be
in a state of Mahara of wudu at all times. Try your best
Why, because when you are particular about your external
taharah, it will have an impact on your internal taharah. Simply
speaking, when you are conscious you are in wudu you're conscious
of Allah subhanaw taala when you are going to do something, you
remind your you're reminded by that I am in a state of purity,
because it gives you internal purity. So, and we know the story
of
Billa Roddy Allah,
that something to the effect the Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said,
for Bilal, what do you do? Because I heard your footsteps ahead of me
in January. He said, Yeah, I am nothing special.
All I do is when I lose my Shahada, I make what do I do to
raka Sana and that's all.
So it's important. Similarly, these external things are
important. What does Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam teach us
about salah when we stand in Salah and he was very particular.
He said stand
shoulder to shoulder ankle to ankle without gaps, why? Otherwise
what would happen?
And what else?
It will make your hearts
deviate from each other.
standing shoulder to shoulder and What has it got to do with the
Kulp? Again, telling you that what we do externally has an impact on
what goes on internally. So there are many things that we are taught
by Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam and they have an impact on
our knifes and our culture.
The kind of knifes that we are trying to develop is what is an
Angelica Mala echinops which only gives you
ideas
that are beautiful. have reminders about Allah subhanaw taala about
that attracts you towards Allah subhanaw taala that invites you to
a nuts that's like that is always looking to please Allah subhanaw
taala and that's always looking to be closer to Allah subhanaw taala
so these are all characteristics that the knifes has the potential
of developing, and it doesn't have to be that I'm only one type of
knifes I have combinations of these things and moments I may
have a Maliki impulse at other times I may have a shaytani
impulse. So what is the process of Peschiera to knifes is we are
trying through this process is to eliminate the shaytani aspect of
the NAPS to eliminate the predatory the knifes that harms
others to regulate not eliminate the behemoth cat like because
those are on needs. Bring it within Sharia and to enhance and
develop those the angelic the Maliki type of naps
