I am
overwhelmed
to be here,
And, I want to express
my thanks
for having such a place.
I think being here, I've learned the
secret
of Elmakassa,
and it is
that it exposes
the deficiency,
and then it
offers a supplement.
The deficiency
that I had,
and still have,
is this aspect of love
You know, you look for love
I wasn't always Muslim,
so I was looking in all kinds of
places for love
You may think that you can find it
in your parents,
but when you have a big family
you may find a deficiency in your parents'
love.
And then you might marry,
and you find deficiencies
in that love.
You have children,
and I'm not saying that you don't love
them,
but you find deficiencies
in it.
And you come to Islam,
you convert.
Allah gives you that realization
of Islam,
but you find deficiencies.
And what
Elmer Cassid
did was it
directed me towards a goal that I wasn't
aware of before
And the goal was this unique love that
can't be found in anything else
And this is
such a unique love
that it overwhelms
every other thing,
and nothing can be comparable to it.
I used to think it's like loving your
mother or loving your children or loving your
spouse or loving your friends or loving njaliyah
or your girlfriends.
But subhanallah, this is something.
It was
listening to
the auliya
and all of these great scholars
Their love and the love that companions
had
that then gave the goal
the goal of
loving Allah and his messenger,
and the heart will never be satisfied
with any other love.
That's why there's deficiencies
in everything else.
So it is
in realizing
that the only thing that can take care
of this need that the heart has
is to love Allah and his messenger.
And that's why that's where the sweetness of
faith is.
Because it is to love Allah and his
messenger
uniquely from everything else.
That's all it is.
And in Jahiliyah, we used to buy candy
and and
chocolate and flowers and you bring your wife
for this or that.
But this isn't you can't bring anything.
Allah has to confer
on us.
There's no faking it.
And so what I learned from being here
It's to
do these things that inshallah
Allah's gaze will fall upon it
and he will be pleased with it and
he'll give it to us.
And this is what I want.
I don't have it. I want it.
I want this love,
this unique love
that will satisfy
this heart.
So
I share with you
so that you too
will want to yearn for
it and see it as a need
that nothing else
can satisfy.
So we ask Allah
to fill this void that we have
and bless us to be those who are
overwhelmed
in the love
of him and his messenger Muhammad
and our means to get it is through
him,
the messenger of Allah
So we ask Allah to
bless all of the followers of Muhammad
bless
everyone that is here
and their descendants and the ones that aren't
even born yet.
We ask Allah
to raise us
and let us be among those of the
elite.
