Europe behavioral COBOL from Russia Saudi versus the Emily working with architects and builders 70 years ago who co lead hamdulillah was salam ala Rasulillah he was happy here Jemaine I'm about once again everybody is Salam. aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. I am overwhelmed and what I'm hoping to share with you today it's extremely powerful. My first dua to Allah is that what I felt today learning and internalizing some of the lessons that I'm about to share with you, I pray that the effect on your hearts is much more even than what I was able to experience because the goal here is not just to understand the word of Allah for it to impact our hearts. So I started with the dog that
Allah enlighten our hearts Allah home and then when we went out, we would have Quran May Allah enlighten our hearts with the light of the Quran. Now, we're going to get right into the work. So far, what we've covered is the first vision of Jabril up until Iron number 12, that was the first division of tippity Palestina from iron number 13, to iron number 18. And my goal today just to reach 18, that's all we're going to do. Even if I get to 18 in 10 minutes, I'm not going to do any more because I need you to process what happens until 18. And what's going to happen from iron number 13 to 18 is the second vision of defeat it so now but that did not happen on the earth. That
happened when the prophets Isilon was taken to a heavenly journey. And he was taken above where no creation has ever been. Even the angels were not allowed above their and for their Allah describes what the prophets listen them saw and what he experienced. And that's what we're going to begin an eye on number 13. Well, let's let an okra and he certainly did see him meaning CJ green newsletter nostra another in a dissent or in a lower position. New Zool in Arabic means to be low. So for example, Angela or inside is used for the Quran because the Quran comes from the heavens down, right? Nazareth is something coming down the angels that unnecessarily melodica to Rofi heavy in the
rugby him and coolly amor because they're coming down. Next lesson here is a lower position, a lower position. Now this is immediately a contrast with what you read what you heard about the First Division. Where did he see Jibreel in the first division, well Nakamura, who will overkill Mubin and here, you know, who were who have been also Kilala. He's in the highest horizon. So this is a complete different picture now. First time, he sees him right above. Now he's seeing him in a low position. What would this but I thought he went up into the heavens and he sees him in a low position. First let's see what this could imply. A mama Lucy notices something. She says How come
Allah used nest sletten
as opposed to not rotten? Because? Well, because Rahu Murata Nostra, that would mean he saw him yet another time.
But Allah didn't just say he saw him yet another time. He said he saw him at a dissent another time. So he added he replaced the word another time with a dissent or a low position. Imam Razi, starts picking on this word and says this is significant. When this little Hina is in your family and takuna Lee Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam come at the Kadena Hooghly and maybe Allah, what are the tip of the iceberg the Laylat in Mirage, Zhao was a Gibreel Allah His job was a degree law, the histogram will call Allahu Jibreel or insulin low down to n molar Tarraco from either Ilahi Vitalik. And it's incredible. The reports we have about the journey
Knee of the prophet through the heavens tells us that at one point the prophets like Selim reached a place where he had to go even past Djibouti landing sunnah. And when he noticed that Gibreel Ali Salam is not coming with him Gibreel Allen Salam told him lo denote to Anguilla. If I move as much as a finger and nail chip, a chipped nail, if I move this much more lateral to I will be set on fire.
I don't have the ability to come closer, you know, like the the sun is at a certain distance from the earth. And if an object gets too close to the heat of the sun, what's going to happen to it, it's going to be inflamed, it's going to it can't withstand the heat of it. There's an intensity to this location that Gibreel and insulin cannot tolerate. So he has to stay low. But Allah has commanded the profits Isilon to keep going. So for my other elites, so then the messenger kept going, and he had a meeting. And he saw some things he saw that only he saw, we don't know what that is, we'll dig into that later. And on his way down, he sees him again. But now when he sees him
who's higher,
the profit is higher now. Salallahu Alaihe Salam, so nuts. Latin makes no sense because the first time the Prophet was on the earth, and he thought was salam, and Jibreel was in the sky, Ali suppose Salam, but now those with Allah so Salam is actually even higher. And as he's coming down, he can see who thinks that I'm in a lower position than himself. So this, this imagery is describing the ascension of the Prophet alayhi salatu salam. And for those people who argue that this journey was just a spiritual journey, it happened in his in his dream or his subconscious, etc. The word nasbla tears that apart.
It's such a literal visual image, right that this actually this journey did physically take place into the unseen. And this is where this vision happened. Okay, now, in the SIdora table monta.
So when he saw Jabril, on his way down, he saw him by a load tree. If you don't know what a load tree is, you need to do Google Images. I would have put it here. But I want you to do some homework to look up what a load tree looks like. But it's clearly not going to be the load tree that we're used to. Let me give you an example.
We have fruits in this world. Yes. But Jana has fruits?
Are they the same? No.
We have trees in this world. Jana has trees? Are they the same? We have rivers in this world? They have rivers? Are they the same? No. The Prophet social and describes manner I know what no eye has ever seen. So what that's going to mean is you're going to see stuff there that you've never seen before. You're going to see things that you want. Like somebody would get to jump and say I just really want a chicken shell or I really miss Chicken Shawarma. And, you know, welcome V hamata. Here, Infocomm, you're gonna get what you want. If you really want to check it out. It will be presented to you.
No problem.
But then we'll get comfy hammered down. But you'll see things there you've never seen before. And by the way, the things we desire are only based on what we've experienced. You see a nice car, man, I want that car. You see a nice picture, man, I want to go visit that place. Our imagination is limited. We haven't seen beyond this. We can't want it. So our wants are going to evolve when we get to Jannah because we're going to see stuff we've never seen. We're going to eat stuff we've never eaten. We're going to drink stuff we've never drank. But because the vocab the human vocabulary is based on what we've seen. This is called a mug. This is called a book. This is by the way, a bow. I
brought it
for demonstration purposes. I'm not going to shoot any of you. But
when we see things and we name them, we named them we have naming conventions for these things.
But we've never been to Jana.
So we can't name stuff in Jana.
But what Allah does in the Quran is he says it has trees, it has fruits, it has meat, it has spouses, it has jewels, it has seating and all of that. So he uses words that we're used to from which world this world but he's doing that because we are limited because we don't have access to that world. So he says the closest thing that you can use to help you at least get some idea of what's happening in Jana is cushions like oh cushions. Yeah, I see those at Target. Yeah. Okay, cushions I get cushions. But when you get to when you get to Jana, and you see the cushion low.
Oh, that's not no cushion.
Now, oh my God, that's what he meant. Oh my goodness, completely different experience. You understand what I'm saying to you. So the language in the Quran for Jana is actually borrowing language from this dunya
Even though it's actually much more than that. Now based on that idea, he sees Djibouti Rana his Salam by a load tree.
cetera, et cetera is a low tree. But his goal is if you Google the image of willow tree is not necessarily the same. No, it's something. So now it started making me wonder what what could it be about the load tree that you know from the word Sidra, the root letters are seen dial and raw. So the main word is low tree. But what could it be what could be some of its secondary meanings, there are some bar some narrations. But before going to the narrations, I'm going to give you the secondary meanings of this word, a Siddhar. The outward Phil hubba. When you when you drape over a tent, that's actually called a Siddhar. In Arabic, when somebody lets their hair down, if they have
long hair and they let their hair down, that's actually called Sadara module the man let his long hair down, let it his so like the the tend to draping or the hair draping. The sub Daraa Bheatha will be he when somebody puts their clothes on, they cover themselves with their garb or their outfit or their clothes. That's the sad Daraa Sandiaga Cebu
when someone's vision got covered and they can't see clearly, that's their, their, their their vision is experiencing severe. So a theme is emerging. All of the words associated with Sidra have to do with over arching covering, you know, creating a barrier. It says if Allah is describing a tree that casts a shadow, something massive that casts a shadow that overshadows Okay, and then he says he didn't just say Sidra, he says I'll Moon Taha al moonta actually means the final or the end. So this is the tree at the very, very end. Let's try to visualize this first. There was also someone is coming down. He sees in the barn as far as the eye can see at the very end of whatever heavenly
horizon that is. What does he see there? He sees a tree. That's the last thing he can see. And by that tree, who does he see Gibreel Island Santa in the central region monta by the far end of this view, he can see Jabril on a Salaam in a distance. Okay, so now this is interesting.
If you try to compare the language from the First Vision, when he saw Jabril on Instagram, Jimmy Lanza taken over the entire sky, you remember that?
But now it seems like he sees him far away by a tree. So does that make it look like the sun is massive or small? Small because now we're not on the first sky. This the place we're in is much more grand and in the grand scheme of things. Jubilee rallies around looks like one star in the night sky.
So in the in this world, he looked like overwhelming and there he's just a just a blimp is a way out in the distance by that tree. Do you understand? And this is the image that Allah is painting of the second vision from these words and the subtlety of monta. Now, the word winter is kind of important, and I'm going to show you why in a second. And what that means the final end, the final the last thing you can see.
And Jana Tahlequah and right by that tree, are right by that low position where Jupiter and his Salam is, is that the Jana heaven, the the garden of ultimate refuge network from our Yes, we are we and means to have refuge means the place of refuge, the garden of refuge.
And what in the world is the garden of refuge so there is the tree and near that tree is the garden of refuge and the Prophet SAW Selim can see Gibreel he can see the tree and he can also see the garden of refuge. Now the scholars argued what could be the garden of refuge first argument here was to de la, be an agenda for summer. And using this idea, the evidence is used to say that Jana is in the sky.
Jenner is not on this earth. There are Jewish traditions that say this world will become heaven.
There are Jewish traditions that say that this world will be transformed into heaven. There are Muslim scholars also who have held the view that this world will eventually become Heaven itself, it will be transformed and this will be gender itself. The Quran is going in a different direction,
the Quran, it's from this ayah some scholars use desire to say look, this is the heaven that we're going to go to when
May Allah grant all of us is Jana, it's up there. And the prophesies of them sees it in the distance. By the way, if that is the case, if that is the case, something also incredible. Allah tells us something about the size of Jana and the Quran.
The size of Jana. He says out to her camp this summer you will or or Abu Hassan Allah to one or two places on Amazon and Hadith. He says the size of Jana, the real estate of Jana is equal to the seven skies and the earth combined.
That's how big and I told you the first guy is 13 point 9 Billion Light Years and all of that right. Jana is not the first sky it's all seven skies and the earth combined in size. But Rasul Allah says Allah sees the tree in a distance and sees all of Jana around it in a distance, like it's just a house or just a little yard.
Like the skies in the earth, combined are just a small location in this place where he is. It's not an overwhelming thing. It's actually just one part of his view. And the far end, industrial monta and the hygiene Natasa man, what is this? What is this place, where all of existence is puny,
he is close to the ashram abides any and the close to the house of Allah, all of Allah's creation is so tiny, so so very small, and so on his way down, he sees it far in the distance of a pillar he agenda to until we get to Allah He was salam when Oh, well have heard me Mama Lucy says this clearly. Some people said this can't be the agenda of the agenda we're gonna go to it's supposed to be some other agenda for angels, because it'd be nice to them is there all the other angels hang out there too? And he said no, the the first meeting is obvious. It's the agenda. It's the agenda we're we're gonna find our final refuge in the agenda Tamatoa Now, there's another reading of the Theia
that the mama Lucy mentioned under her Jana hole Magua I'll read that out loud again. Jana who? As Magua and what that means then is up the other esalaam was there and right around there is where the refuge covered him. The refuge covered him and what that means hola hola esta there's some refuge that over that took over liberalism or it could even mean it covered Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Okay?
I want you to contemplate this with me before our break.
Rasul Allah so SLM has had some kind of meeting that no creation has ever had. And he's coming down from this meeting. And as he's coming down from this meeting, he says Jubilee line is what is the main job of debris rally Sam from what we know. I know he has multiple powers Alcoa, but we know he's the angel of revelation right? Where is he? Here's he's by a tree what's by the tree genital Motwane genital Why is a historical site
the story of humanity began in that garden
the first human being was there.
The devil was there. The drama that took place that led us to this planet happened there. And the prophets I said, I'm sees this historic place. You know, when you go to a historic place, you become you're almost travel your heart almost travels to that moment. Like what I try to do if I go to a camera, or I go into the era, what I try and do is I try to recite makan Quran and Makkah.
And I tried to recite Madani Quran and Medina.
And what I tried to wonder is, he was Jabril was coming here somewhere,
giving this to the prophets like Santa,
you know, or I wouldn't let me go to the masjid people attain. I'll recite the ayat ayat about the change of Qibla because they came there. They came about this, the angel was here somewhere. And these ayat were coming down. I want to relive the moment.
Now, this is, you know, this, these monuments, these places that become historical sites. They're called shy if the Arabic word is shy. Like mocambique Rahim is from the Shah of Allah Safa and Marwa are from the Shah of Allah Shah. It comes from the word share era, which actually means feeling. So even in modern Arabic, a shoulder, big holes, a shoulder will help I feel fear, I feel loves
those places when you're there, they create a feeling inside you. When you're running between Safa and Marwah, you're supposed to feel what if my friend's mother felt? You understand when you're doing go off? You're supposed to feel something that Ibraheem Alehissalaam felt what the Prophet SAW Selim felt when maca was conquered. This was the
feel something when you go to these places, they're bringing about these, these these machinery or these feelings, and that's why they're called chive. That's why they're called that. Now, can you imagine, not any sharing era, he is in the company of Allah. And he's looking at the the most historic site of all historic sites, the origin of humanity, he sees it right there. And as Adam Alayhis Salam was being sent down, Allah said to him, for MIT and Nico Mini, who then come into the alpha for the whole finale him whether he actually known if and when guidance comes to you from me, Adam was told how they met how well we're told to all of their children. When guidance comes to you
from me, whoever follows it will have no fear, and they will not be sad, and Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the last installment, the last najem in the constellation of all the revelations that were talked about in that dialogue. When Allah told Adam, whenever God guidance will come, whoever follows it. Well, what's the last guidance of it all? Well, so Allah Azza wa salam, and he's looking at that tree. And he's looking at Gibreel, who delivers that resolute revolution. And he said, um, and he's looking at our agenda that was our original home, that we're supposed to come back to, can you just for a moment, imagine the sense of responsibility he must have felt in that
moment. Like, there's a moment where he feels this responsibility when the angel first appeared to him and gave him Revelation, he must have felt the weight of the world on his shoulders.
But this is on another level.
He's just, he's seeing it all over again. And now it's not like the angel is in the higher position. And he's in the lower position. Actually, now he's in the higher position. And he's looking at the angel jeebies. And just imagine the status, the position that Allah has given him, and the higher Allah gives you a status, the more the heavier, he gives you the responsibility, you get new appreciation for the words in s&p, Anika Conan sappy that we're giving you, we're going to put on you a heavy word.
So he sees genetic malware. This is all of Jamna he sees our future home, he sees, Why did Allah give this revelation so people can make their way to this place. And he says, you realize that I'm in the far horizon.
But then something else happens. So he's coming down with those exams coming down, or he's, he's at this place above Jabril, Iris ROM, and he's looking at me, and then something happens that we're never going to know what it means.
Allah mentions that though, he says if Yakshas Siddhartha Nyasha
when all of a sudden, because it can have more fungi in it. All of a sudden, the tree started getting covered up.
So he saw the tree, he saw Jubilee, he saw the garden, and now the tree itself is getting overshadowed over over covered.
What can cover the tree? He says miles sharp, something that covers it.
Something that covers covers the tree.
What is that, but the prophesies of them sees something ascending, something rising, and it overshadows or over arches, the tree and now he can't see the tree anymore. Because whatever that covers, it has taken it over. Here's where I shared something with
Sheikh Sahib today. Because I think about these things, and then I have crazy thoughts. And I say maybe I'm just crazy. So I go share with my scholar friends who are not as crazy. And then they come back and say, That's not as crazy. That's okay, or this is okay. So this one got a green check. So I'm going to share this with you.
What was the tree called the tree of what I want to have the limit?
You know,
this is the limit to which the creation of Allah can go. We can't go past that. Even Gibreel couldn't go past that.
So it's like, wonder how could be a word for the final border for all of Allah's creation, and he's right by that final border. Right. Okay. By the way, it's also really interesting that Allah put his Jana
right underneath that border.
Which will means we're literally close to Allah and Jana, as close as a creation can get, you see, because it's right there. Now,
because it's the final border and no other creation can get there. It is the final end. You can call it the end goal. Now the Muslim says I just want to get to Jana. My end goal somebody asked the Muslim What's your end goal, Jana
but then there's something that came over even Jana.
Could there be something that's even a higher goal than Jana? You know what? For some people
Like Jana or no Jana, I just want to meet Allah
I just want to let her be happy
that if I have that that's more than Jana and by the way in Jana in Jana, Allah will describe like it's sort of the tool sort of area so to tool in San is my favorite one so much description of Jana so much description of general food drinks. There's that time isn't it? 30 minutes. Okay, good for drinks company, you're talking to people, you're reminiscing about old times, all of it. And then Allah Himself serves you a drink.
In Seattle in San he serves you a drink, sir humara boom, shut up into hoorah. Your rap will serve you a drink. And it's not just that he's serving you a drink because you know, you have children serving drinks in Jannah. You've got servants serving and all of a sudden your Rob says Here drink this. He gives it and then he says it Nahata cannot look on Java and this is your ultimate reward. You know, every other reward disappears. Because it was talking to you. Allah is talking to you. And you know what Allah is saying? The effort you made was appreciated. Can you know some of you some of us we die trying to get appreciated by our dad.
By our by our older brother, by our mother, your dad has never said to you, son, put his hand on your shoulder son. I'm proud of you. Never heard it. He'll say to everyone else. Oh, I'm really proud of my son. Did you ever tell him no, no. What are you think I'm stupid? I'm from Pakistan. We don't do that.
We'll just we'll tell you how much of a disappointment you are. But even if you say you never said you're proud of me. I have to say it. Yeah, you do have to say
I did an experiment one time. I travelled around the world did this seminar ask a really funny question to the men. I was like, How many of you were told by your dad? He loves you.
And like three people raise their hand in 1000 crowd.
Two people by female. Cool, some great dads out there. Then I asked my own sister. Does that ever say he he loved because I mean, I love him. He loves me. He was here the other day. He doesn't say I love you.
doesn't normally say so I asked my sister does he say it this way to you? Maybe I'm special. He doesn't say to me?
And she said no. That's weird.
We don't do that in this family.
But you know what? If your father your mother, your teacher. Heck you don't even like your boss man. But if your boss came over to you and said I'm proud of you good job. You feel something, don't you? Lunch tastes extra good that day, doesn't it?
My god Allah himself saying I appreciate you.
There's Jana and there's something higher than Jana. Allah doesn't say what it is but he does say it's something that's even it overcast that tree and it overcast Jana and overcast all of it in Yorkshire serrulata my offshore
whatever it is, and the last thing I know it's time
is this happened now or it happened in the past.
It happened in the past, but the word here is if you if the word is pushes the meaning into the past. Okay, so even though melodic YoungStar the present form is being used. It still means past when the tree started getting covered.
But the next gesture my Yaksha is present tense, as if it's the bar, which means the Prophet SAW Salem can feel it even now. Like he continues to feel the overcasting of the tree. It's an ongoing thing for him and a subtle Salaam and the last juicy bit because I gotta we got to start fresh from my number 17 When I come back, there's so much to do tonight. The last juicy bit I want you to know is
Allah in these ayat us chose the word Yaksha. You remember what I said about Sidra? Okay, it means the load tree, what else does it mean to cast a shadow, you know, one of the meanings of Akasha is actually a load tree.
Last year itself in Arabic also means a load tree.
It says if this tree got taken over by yet another this thing that covers was covered by something even more, the cover got covered Subhan Allah in the Oxford Siddhartha MIOSHA This is remarkable language. We My goal was to get to iron number 18 But we're going to rewind, we're going to go back to this again. I just wanted to get you get your feet wet with what's going on in these ayat.
