I was given the green light
so the first time is
how do you spend at
the beginning of
the whiteboard revolution
incidentally, those of you who did not receive this because we ran
out we'll have extra copies inshallah next week for those who
are interested in the company
so this hadith is narrated by Aisha
or the Alana.
And we know that I shall define her
was not there.
One the prophets I send them first received revelation. fact she
wasn't even born yet.
Alright.
So this means that the Hadith of the Prophet SAW sent this
particular Hadith he related to her.
And so we have the chain of narration going back through Asia,
where the line and I'm not aware that there are other Sahaba that
this hadith is transmitted from.
So he can find it one of the most important things probably you can
argue, maybe the most important thing, in fact, how he began the
way how the revolution came to him when he was in the mountain, a lot
of hit on and you can find it this to
his wife, Aisha, along the line. And you will find many of the
intimate details of a profit slice I send them specifically things
pertaining to his household.
And I think also particularly things that he wanted to survive
several generations, our issue was quite young. And so she lived a
relatively long amount of time, and she was a 14 and she was a
scholar, and we're alright, so you don't say she was a female scholar
or a female
narrator, she was a narrator at scholar she was in the top three.
In terms of her prolific narration, she was right up there
with me symptomatic and Ebola, and I'm logged on and those big Sahaba
who are very, very happy of the Prophet Muhammad sighs and so when
Baba sai Santos works I've said, for the list for Dina Coleman
heavy O'Meara
when he said, Take half of your deen from this homemade Auntie
differ about what it means it means little red wine, that kind
of mean little red cheeked one, or whatever the meaning might be. But
he mentioned specifically and he pointed to auction, and you can
make an argument that literally,
in a sense, half of the deen that we know, because remember, we said
in the beginning transmission,
right, who was the one who transmitted it, who carried it on,
you can see that haven't really been comes from a seat
on the board.
So we'll read the text of the Hadith, and then we'll try to see
some of the meanings within there in English and Arabic.
So I know Asia on meaning. So ultimately, what meaning is the
title that is given to the wives of the Prophet Muhammad seisin,
the Mothers of the Believers, some honorific and it's also
important and that the Quran itself said that as a specific
trait for the wives of the Prophet Muhammad said that they are not to
marry after he passes. So they considered like on my head and
what you need like the Mothers of the Believers
Well, the law I'm having a lovely piece and now pilot that she said
I
wouldn't be here you know, why sorry. Send them a minute why he
saw there
were no vocabulary or not Yeah, in Ledger at misclassify data so.
So let's look at that first part.
She said the beginning of the recommendation for the messenger
Lazar said that was the true dream. On his sleep.
He would not see a dream except that would manifest like daybreak.
So what's happening
we know that in the boudoir prophethood can or the revolution
itself can come in several forms. One of the forms and it can come
in is the true dream.
Like for example, when Ibrahim Abraham on his set out, he said to
his son in the nonprofit Miami and as tahoka
All right, that's all ready, FYI, my two month journey along the
Saudi.
So he said to his young son, I see in my dreams that I slaughtered
you.
Father Mother taller than you not just he knew it was revelation,
but nevertheless he said to his son, so what do you think? What
should we do? You suck everything if I were to do what I've been
commanded to do, such as your uni insha, Allah will somebody know
find me amongst the patient points. So the route Yeah, the
true dream, wish you the prophet sees something. And then either
it's a future event has not taken place yet. So it could be a
command that he used to fulfill that future event. Or it could be
a prophecy in the general sense of the word, where he sees something
that happens, and then it happened, not something he's
commanded to do, but it comes exactly as he has seen it. So the
commentators on this hadith, they said that six months before the
prophets are so that received the revelation, he started to see
these dreams. And he mentioned like, fell out as soon as clear as
Daybreak saw it exactly as he dreamed he dropped it the night
before. Every night, he would have a dream. And then the next day,
the events would be exactly as wasn't his dream.
And that's, that's a profit. We call these to have a particular
term for things that happened before formal profit or comes
about called Iroha. Assault.
You know how assault we've had. So these elhassan weren't just the
true dreams of the promise ourselves. Even before that, he
used to be as a young boy, he would walk by and the rocks and
the stones would give him set up, literally, and the animals will
give him Savannah, and the commandment, the cloud that will
follow him around. And people saw these things. People notice these
things, such as the extent when he went to shadow with his uncle when
he was about 12. And they met and they saw behind the monk who
noticed the signs and he said, don't bring him back here again,
to his uncle of authority. Because if people know that he is a
prophet, then fight army. So let him stay. Don't bring him back.
So the signs were happening even as a young child, even the day he
was born. So that was the moment of the publicize and a miraculous
things happened on that day. The light of the fire of kissa, the
Zoroastrian fire that was in Persia, was extinguished, and it
hadn't been extinguished in the time of Jesus. 600 years before
that, the
the mother of the prophets, I said, then she said, I noticed the
light all the way to the facade of shed all the way to the Byzantine
castles to the North.
He was born in a bloodless
birth, there was no after birth, there was no blood, he was
circumcised or he was born, all of these things, type of miraculous
things that are associated even before the actual problem came
about. So one of the last things to happen is the true dream that
he would see in the dream, and then it would happen exactly.
So this was the type of preparation
for the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Right because the Quran says in this Erica Colin Sakina
we will put so upon you heavy word. The Quran is heavy right
it's heavy in meaning deep and vast and contemplating to the
extent one revolution comm if he was on a mallet you had to get off
his mount because the animal couldn't bear it. Too much weight
even turns into a physical way too much amount of air so these were
preparatory steps that Allah's father was taking with the Prophet
commissar
summer
when solitude was made beloved to him Well can I guess it will be
very fair to have fi what WhatsApp would and the area's awaited added
tablet at the end of that either way it is what will be there you
can see my eligible investment you should have it so what will we see
her pattern
so,
solid job was made beloved to him. He used to retreat to the cave of
Hira
and do to her nose
and then in the text of the Hadith, well, how would the output
so that's probably the wrong way saying that or Asha saying and it
is worship.
But the homeless is a specific type of worship. It means like the
battle which means a worship at the same time cut off from
everything else. In other words, your specifically and doing this
worship
Have solitude and away from everything else.
So he would do this to handle several lights of worship before
he would break from that to return to his family. For more
provisions, you would continue returning to tradition for
provisions for periods like that, until the truth came to him while
he was in the cave of Iraq.
So,
the text the word used to cope with, it was made beloved to him,
solitude, this is significant as well.
The Prophet SAW I said a little at a time when
the Kaaba was completely inhabited by idols, and idol worship, there
was some 360 Idols as the reports indicate, that were in and around
and inside the caliber, and the GABA since the time it was built
by Ibrahim is made.
So on Sunday,
it always had that significance of pilgrimage in the Arabian
Peninsula. So in the early days of their environment, people would
come and they would do a type of pilgrimage that was more or less
similar to the type that we do now. And then gradually, idolatry
was introduced into dependency, as he you know, he shall, he
mentioned a particular individual, his name escapes me now, who
introduced this type of idolatry. And it was more or less for
commercial purposes, because when you have idols that are more
palpable, it brings out all sorts of people and then they make
sacrifices and they bring their wares and things like this. So the
annual pilgrimage in Mecca was definitely the most significant
happening event all year for the whole Arabian Peninsula, probably
the only time that they will all get together in one place. So all
of the surrounding tribes, not just Qureshi was obviously had a
pre eminent position in the peninsula because of the
pilgrimage because of homage to the copper. But the other tribes
are common like the tribes in Medina, like it was one cosmology
and the ones from the interior, like Bennington, you will place
off and and it's up to you, and how was in many tribes would would
come and there would be an annual market. So it's not just a
religious occasion, but it was also very much a commercial
occasion. And perhaps the commercial aspect of it was for
many people, the more important aspect commercial aspect of the
Hajj. So they had a so called so called curve. And so far, they
brought their wares, they bought things to treat. Remember, the
Mexicans themselves were traitors, they made their living by trading.
And they would sell the things that they had brought from the two
trips of the summer, or the winter in the summer, she thought it was
like in the winter to Yemen and in the summer to Syria, and then they
would sell their wares. so on. It was also a time that many of the
you know the main entertaining tour, you could see the main type
of pastime that they had was
commenting on this, the harsh environment around them. And this
developed into a poetry genre that became very significant in the
ribbon panels at the time, so many of the poets would come and they'd
have sort of a poetry competition. And this is where we get the
sublime all the clutter, the seven ODEs.
The 117 are ones that were even hung from the tired or hungry.
First People can hang tight, things get home that were hung
from the,
from the walls of the cabinet and gold lettering.
And then there was a company in music and dancing girls and things
like this, that all of these things were kind of abrasive and
offensive to people who were looking for the true Abrahamic
religion. And those people are looking for the truth of our
religion and our quality.
So the Hanif was the one who knew that this idol worship couldn't
have been something that Abraham came with. The polytheists
actually claimed that they said no, this is what Abraham taught
us. This is what we came up with so forth. But the other fat I knew
that this was incorrect. So some of us have actually, we're kind of
we're of this hadith. Before it's like Abu Bakr Sydney, or the Lord
he was Hanif never worship an idol. I never took part in any of
that. And obviously, the Prophet Muhammad summarizes it. So, he his
early career, he was sheepherder for a while and then he got into
the trading business on behalf of First she was his business,
associate Khadija, his boss pretty much more or less, and then after
the marriage, he's still continue to do this to some extent.
And so sometimes he heard these things and he said one time he had
a inclination to
go and listen. And then I lost my product, make him sleep. And he
slept through the whole thing. So who knew that that was not for
him. But then he sought out solitude.
So he went to the cave of Iran, one of the significant things
about Iran, because there are many places to privatize, he could have
went to to seek solitude, he could have went to a quarter of his
house, he could have found some particular
spot that wasn't high up. You know, we could have went out a
little bit, why cannot what was significant.
And the significant thing about it is that the prophesy system could
see the cabin from there.
Nowadays, you can't have a big clock tower, blocking what people
have told me because the last time I was there, that wasn't around.
Discussion.
But in his day, he could see the carava. So we had the benefit of
solitude, and he had the benefit of
top would worship and at the same time, he can see the kava,
so it was an ideal spot to treat.
So it's an indication that when people live in a time, of lack of
remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala, of
people being engaged in all sorts of very trivial things, and
busying themselves with things that don't have much meaning that
one of the things that a believer can take solace in, is to have
some
make some provision for himself or herself to have solitude to get
away. This Hello.
And we find that in even in the Islamic ritual traditions, there
is aspects of Halawa of getting away so the Hajj ADAMA, it's a
type of getting away, it's a type of retreat.
In Ramadan, the attic F in the masjid,
staying there for days on end or few nights is a type of funnel as
well. And so really, you have to have that type of solitude, a type
of retreat is something quite important. And I think it's very
significant for us, even in the time that we live in now. Because
we have a lot of trivial stuff going on around us. And people
always mentioned the idea about unplugging and people have to
unplug.
This is the ultimate unplug. When you are completely, I tried to
completely disconnect yourself from these things that are quite
distracting. And so the prophesy said it took a habit of doing
this, of retreating to the cave of Iraq, where he would do to handle
how would he pray, what particular form it's not related to him
exactly how we talked about it. But the idea is that flicker of
contemplation in and of itself, is a form of worship.
And one of the Hadith one of the ports narrative, a promissory
seminar, he said, the fact that we sat and I don't mean
me,
every bear that that thinking even just for a few moments is better
than he better itself. And we would say definitely better than
mindlessly, like automatic pilots. You better know when you just you
just pray the blueprint and come back and like what President just
pretty much
because I was thinking about the next episode.
People Washington
Breaking Bad or bad frequency.
So when you have this automatic type of automatic pilot really
bad.
And it's neither proceeded with contemplation, reflection, nor
succeeded with contemplation or reflection, then you have to think
about what exactly did you get out of it?
Right? We tend to emphasize a lot of the quantitative aspects of it
better if you do so many to spirit if you pray so many guys if you
get them, but we need to think more about the qualitative aspect.
How did I go about brain? Did I have a dual color? Was I aware?
Or was I thinking about something else? Am I aware of what I'm
saying? Do I know that sort of fat has actually happened? It is as
I'm talking to a lost battle data is this intimate conversation I'm
having with him as to what I'm doing my career. And do I am I
aware that the clearer the standing part, and the or the
ballot or and the sujood
the frustrating part, and the Jews sitting apart are all significant,
and they all have particular secrets about them. Why did the
prophets I said I would discourage people from reciting Quran in the
record and encourage people to make
multivitamin soju and reciting Quran is only when you stand
a song, right? The most significant their secrets is
wisdom behind all of that. But did we stop and think and contemplate
that? It will give it much thought? Or is it a type of
automatic pilot?
The Quran makes this connection between Vikram
between remembering Allah subhanaw taala. And contemplating thinking,
right when he says in the Quran, similar to what
they had at birth, and that even if guru Allah
right, so that a is in the heavens in the earth? Who is it going to
become apparent to who's going to read the signs? Right, an alien
means a sign. In other words, you have a physical phenomenon.
But that's not that's just a sign. That's not what's meant a certain
meaning. That's not even more significant. It's merely a side.
But who can decipher the sides and the DNI ethical rule of law, the
ones who remember a lot the admirable reason why the general
be standing up
and sitting down and on their sides, in other words, all the
time, right, because you're going to be in one of those three
positions, either standing up, you're sitting down, you're laying
down, there's no fourth,
where the faculty who
were the factory, and they think they contemplate
if you have to simulate the creation.
So only people of remembrance will be able to decipher the signs that
all this you know what is created,
it's a sign for us to think about. And then they say, although you
have not created this month,
you have not created this out of randomness, out of apathy, out of
just a mere random sequence of events that came about and the
universe was more what there is, aim and purpose and objective and
meaning in everything.
Especially if you contemplate how the similar to you contemplate the
creation of the heavens, and the creation of the Earth and everyone
in the earth.
So the prophets ours,
he would go several nights, some of the reports say that up to a
month, he would retreat
in hot Herat. But he would periodically come back down,
probably at a set appointment. Because there weren't, I don't
think that cell phone signal up there. I sat upon waiting weeks
for leisure or the law, where she would have some provision for him
like food and change of clothing or something, and then he would go
back up. So he didn't take it as a permanent
way of living. So the idea of retreat, support people don't
misunderstand and think what if we can get all these benefits? And
why don't we just live like that all the time?
You know, let's close down in viic. And let's go to you know,
the Pocono Mountains somewhere and build like a little house up there
and just live there and you know,
raise a garden and something eat apples. And that's it. You know,
what's wrong with that?
The province or state sentences later on?
There's no monasticism.
So the right or the monk, they take place, and they cut
themselves off completely from society from civilization. And so
a lot of money in the civilizational sense, is not part
of our understanding of Islam, Matala, bernia, in the heart,
something different. So a detachment from the dunya.
Not a physical detachment, per se, but a spiritual detachment. So
that even when you're in society, you know, solitude amongst the
multitude. There's still a reflection and attachment and
saying that I might be in the dunya, but I'm not of the dunya.
My place is here physically, but it's not in me. I'm in it, but
it's not in here. It's not in my heart. So the physical separation
is an aid, it's a tool to achieving the more important
and the thing that we're looking for the main objective ramie, the
spiritual detachment, so one can lead to the next. That's why we
see after his profits are so that he went to a lot less and less,
until when he was in Medina. He didn't really have these types of
retreats. In fact, he would spend most nights at home and he would
even be praying in the corner of his room, and his wife, Alisha
could be laying there right in front of him. And he wouldn't wake
her up around or even try to wake her up, but yet he was having his
huddle, even though he's amongst people and amongst his wives and
so forth. Because he there was a type of
Spiritual ascendancy spiritual elevation, which we'll get into,
on this hadith a little bit. So he ascended from this particular
point in his prophetic career, where there was a lot of physical
separation, then less and less of it until the end, where he almost
had no need for the physical separation, because this has
already taken place inside the heart.
And it also shows us that when people go forward to output, or a
better, that does not mean that you remiss or negligent and your
rights towards others, especially those who have rights upon you
like wives and children, family members.
So when he went to the Valerie rod, he obviously told her that,
you know, I'm going to her off nights, come meet me back after
five nights, or three nights or so forth like this. He didn't do like
a lot of us, we thought about packing lists.
Right? So almost husbands do that, right?
No
matter the meaning.
They're shaking hands like so.
And the reason for that is,
as we'll see later, in this hadith, after the incident, who
did he go back to? He went back to Egypt, right, he was friends with
other people. He knew other workers city at the time, was a
close confidant, and friend. There was a he didn't go to his other
family members, like some of his uncle's, like Hamza, and others
who were also close to him, but he went to Khadija, and also here. He
specifically told her, I'm going to this place. And then he
arranged to meet her periodically. So he was remiss, not negligent in
his,
his rights, even people in the dunya. And this we have to be
careful about some people get very enthusiastic, especially if
they're kind of newly practicing, or newly religious. And they say,
What's your last final time? You know, you should be perfectly fine
with that. We're gonna sell the house and sell our clothes. And we
live very simply, like the prophesy said, you're gonna like
it.
That's okay for you, but you have someone else in your house that
you have a responsibility for. And if she doesn't want that, then
you're traveling on her rights, because she didn't enter into that
agreement with you from the beginning.
So religiosity does not mean, does that give you a license to sort of
trample on others because you think it's for a higher goal? It's
for a higher purpose. And
I've heard from from my teachers, they always are some of the
lessons they told me they said,
don't let the down don't let the teaching on if this get in the way
of taking care of your family, spending time with your family,
ask them about them, your children, specifically things like
this, because that is our what's the point of, you know, having
10,000 Facebook followers, but your kids don't know where you
are? Or don't see you in the house. And they have to ask the
mom, you know, where's that Congress? Tom was once he coming
back? When are we going to see him this type of thing. So the
prophesy sound taught us early on that don't use the dollar. Don't
use religion as a means for you to
get out of your responsibilities.
So
then she mentioned until the truth came to him while he was in the
cave of hate all had to
figure out
so we mentioned the beginning there was a period of preparation,
we've had the true dreams. He spent much time alone solitude in
Iraq, and then the Angel Kings
we see a similar parable, for example.
Zakariya
might when he saw a lot of a lot of his set out that she had all of
these miracles happening with her that she had.
You know, she he used to be her caretaker because she used to
spend time in the monastery, because her mother made a vow that
the child that will be born would be a servant of the monastery. Of
course, she thought it was going to be a son would have turned out
to be a daughter. So even the Bucha was quite
extra extraordinary at the time, a woman went Marielle and sent her
to be a servant in the monastery to give kedma to the monastery. So
she got her own room that was had to take a flight of stairs to get
up to it that was kind of by herself. Again, find a way of
solitude. And the person would be taking care of her would be
Zachary was related to or indirectly.
They said that he was the
he was married to either of the sister of Mario or her out
That's one of the two. So he was the one that signed to chuck
because they drew straws and his came up and he's the one, which I
kind of so he would find the fruit of the winter in the summer. And
the fruit of the summer in the winter,
which was miraculous, right, didn't have Walmart, where all the
fruits are there all the time. But, you know, to have watermelon
in the winter and to have oranges in the summer was something
extraordinary miraculous. So when you saw this, this is when he went
to his MikroC.
Whenever they got there as a kid, he got up, but when he, when he
saw that,
and then that's when he asked for some. And then the angels came to
him were filming Rob, Rob is not parentage McRobbie, in that
context is that particular space that you set out for your event
that you designate as your particular event. So the news and
push her off, the glad tidings came to him while we're filming.
Very similar to the prophesy centum, who is in his own type of
methodology. So people who it gives an indication that if you
strive if you struggle, if you set aside some solitude and think
about the signs of Allah, tada, even if you're having difficult
times that Allah subhanaw taala, will be generous with you, and he
will, he will provide for you, and maybe you even see things that you
couldn't even have imagined.
So
the angel came to him in the form of a man
synergy prerelease. And your video, this the angel of
revelation angel of Ye,
as he was for all the other prophets. So he also came to Moses
and Abraham, and Jesus, and he was working to marry up to married,
also we can turn for a man.
So the Prophet saw him most likely did not know that. Who was this,
this man that appeared out of nowhere that he'd never seen
before. And all of a sudden he appeared, much in the same way
that Laurie when she read appeared in her room. She said in Yahoo to
Google, how many men get in contact?
I seek refuge from the rough man if you're a person of taqwa, how
did you get up here? When this room was closed off, and only
secondly as the key
so a similar scenario happened with the Prophet SAW.
So when he saw him, the angel Jibreel set a clock
for five o'clock, all
right,
so this word is read, often translated, I think it's read here
isn't it? You can also translate it as recite.
And in Arabic means to something, to gather something together. Like
Quran literally means a gathering,
to gather like things together, put them in one place. So you can
think of it as a gathering of words. Can you met the Quran? So
when you said the Quran, either read or recite, right, because he
really didn't have like a tablet, a written document and he said,
you know, read this, he just said the clock.
So in this paradigm of reading a knowledge or knowledge of the
electric word, even if not in written form, and even in oral
form, with the same thing.
Somebody says they've got to
recite something from what you know.
Then the province or send them replied back, man, have you caught
it?
I am not a researcher.
I am unlettered one of the miraculous things about the
Prophet palletize. As he was unlettered, right. We don't say
illiterate.
And there is some other
right because it has a negative, it's a pejorative term has the
connotation, but we say unlettered, and that was part of
the prophecy. Because if he wasn't that,
then it would have been difficult to claim proof of culture, say
that he didn't read this somewhere didn't clean this knowledge of
previous prophets and previous nations and, and the like that are
mentioned in the Quran from things that he had read. But he was
unlettered just like the day of thought if, when he went to the
heartache of our deaths, and I tested on Christian workington,
and said,
when he mentioned in the city, he was from nirvana. And he said,
That's the place of use of units implemented through new units
implemented and then had that said, how you know he was
implemented. How would you know that? Because he was young
Christian boy, he knew this man in front of him was from Mecca, and
didn't have any Christians. The only
didn't have any Bibles or gospels or anything. He said, Okay.
That's my brother. This is why not this, fell down on his knees and
started kissing. Twice I realized that this could have not been
except from a miracle. So, you know, the proof was clear because
he was honored and coming from at least where they had no knowledge
of any of the books that came forward. So we call the prophets I
said Monday, he said that and
then the angel replied back
on if at any thought any better than when we inject some sanity
for for the club. Man, I never thought it had any further updates
any better than a new jet. So suddenly for fighting for postman
call it further than he forgotten?
Some arsenal for for a small calorie Khaled. Carnival in Santa
with other things caught up, what up vocal.
So at this point,
when he said, I do not read or I'm not a reader, then he was grabbed
by the angel physically. Remember, he is a form of a man. So we
grabbed him, and he kind of Dumbo.
We sort of like grabbed him and pulled him close to him. Not in a
very violent manner, but enough that the province I sat on was
shaken up.
And then he let him go. And then he said, asked him the same
question. And the same response might enter the client, so the
second time
and let him go.
Then the same grab than a third time, and then he let him go. So
three times. And the three times is significant.
Right? Because we said at the beginning, we saw preparatory
steps for
the receiving of the revelation. They began with the Doha salt, as
we said, which included the things the size of prophesy cells on this
lifetime.
When he was a young child shocked to sob when he was young infant,
maybe three or four years old, the angels to angels came and took his
heart and clean, the one black spot that the Sheepdog managed to
have and clean that and put his heart back in a bloodless way.
That was also a preparatory step. And then hear the angels up that
he's grabbing him and shaking three times. And you may say to
yourself, well, couldn't Allah somehow just like, dispense with
all of that? Why didn't need to do all of this? We don't have stories
of the other prophets going through similar things.
You know, what seemed like he sent me money on for example, he spoke
as an infant, and would, was given hikma as a young man. So why this
particular way with hamazon assembler, and remember every
aspect of his life is significant is important, because it's a sign
and a message for those who come after him.
So allow Adam Allah's Halltown is teaching us via these preparatory
steps, that we have this concept
called therapy.
Therapy in our means, like to ascend what I alluded to earlier,
that spiritual ascension. In other words,
Muslims have an outer exterior life.
So there are things people see us do, the way we dress, what we eat.
You know how that meat and all that type of thing, men grow
beards, women wear hijab, these are all experiences.
But the more important aspect is, what's going on inside? what's
commonly referred to as the inner life? What's your inner life?
Like? You know, what do you think about when you contemplate what
keeps you happy?
When you read the Quran, or you remember last fall data, what goes
through your mind? What's going on?
Are you the same today as you were a year ago? Two years ago, 310 you
feel the same thing you read the same sort of prayer as you read 10
years ago, or five years ago? Or is there some type of therapy,
other spiritual realizations that you have come to? And you are
coming to in a periodic manner? Or are you just getting it day by day
and going through we can go through
so this aspect of the inner life is crucial. Right? And it's really
I think, what keeps
people motivated to be to remain Muslim? We have many young people
beginning to question the religion these days, questions, teachings,
questioning the
end utilize the unseen things and how real can those be and you
know, where are the good Muslims and what do we do and things like
this? I think a lot of that goes back to the
We haven't been attentive to our inner lives, you know, to the
spiritual life act is what makes you get up in the morning. What
ultimately makes you wake up and say, Tomorrow, I'm going to live a
life of service of honor, of trust,
of beauty of love.
Like when you go to sleep at night, and you want to wake up the
next day, what makes you want to wake up? Do you really want to get
in the car and drive to Metro Park and take the train up to the city
and all that?
Or is it something bigger? Is there a larger purpose behind the
whole thing that you treat each day as who you are? All you are is
a number of days. Me, you everybody else by
tomorrow will be x minus one.
So each day that goes by less of you remains. Until finally when
you breathe your last than the last day, you're done. None of you
remains. So how you spend your time each day, day by day is who
you are. That's what you identify with. That's what makes you who
you are. That's what gives you value and worth. Now what you
possess, that's not coming,
and not what you're striving to possess. But who are you? How do
you spend your time? What is going on inside the heart? What's the
inner life.
So all of these separatory steps, they're showing us that
we will go through difficulty will go through calamities, things
might scare us things might be wilderness, but ultimately there's
a purpose behind them. And it's a type of another word that's
important for us to know, deep.
Deep means to be trained, spiritually, I promise I suddenly
said, identity lobbying for US Senator TV, the one who trained
me, who gave me this talk the the spiritual elevation was a law. So
far subhanaw taala. So when you if you don't have an inner life, how
else can you deal with tragedy that was gonna do with loss? How
was it? Can you do with shattered dreams? How do you make what do
you make of all of that? If there's no inner life, some people
feel like well, there's no reason to go on. And some people do that.
Whereas others, they understand it's part of a bigger picture.
It's part of something else, where loss of autonomy, have something
in store for you, that may be much better. Maybe it will manifest
itself in this life. Maybe not. But even if it doesn't come with
this life, if you have that inner life, it doesn't matter. Because
you know what will come next? Allah
Allah does not skip a beat on fulfilling His promises. I was
done.
Okay, so we got some half a hadith. I think that's good
progress, was just the beginning introduction. So I thank all of
you for coming out tonight as I call him, this is the month of the
month of the birth of the Prophet
so often much less than is in citations upon him one of the
means of therapy or the means of spiritual ascendancy is to
remember the prophets I send them much we should all be trying to
have a daily litany of sayings a lot on the Prophet sites and I'm
almost somebody was sitting with Eric and Ey earning 100 English
market.
Do we have time for questions or
people want?
Questions? Yes?
The prophets are sending you mentioned the question you sister
asked was the idea of true dreams is that only for profits or the
profit of homicides and while others can have them, the province
are setting himself he said that
true dreams are an aspect of Nepal and the last remaining aspect, so
they can happen to other people. And he mentioned specifically
about himself, he said, Mandela only if in Miami for further only
finishing Allah later method OB Whoever has seen me in a dream has
really seen me because Satan cannot take my form. So you can
see the prophets I said when your dreams and if you think it's him,
then it's him.
He may not necessarily appear in the image you think are how we
actually look like in real life. It could be different. But if you
feel that you've seen him, then you have truly seen and some
people can have dreams some people can see things
is either things that are going to happen, or that happened to
someone else far away. And this is still
an open thing more or less automatic and can inspire people
and speak to people in this way. That doesn't mean everything that
happens to trickery. There's different types, there's a cough,
you know, if the last thing that you watched was breaking bad, then
you went to sleep, and then you had a dream of
crystal meth lab in your basement, that's probably not a true dream,
it's probably just, you know, you're busy thinking about
whatever that the last thing that you're looking at. That's why it's
always recommended to go to sleep alcohol, to be mistakable. And to
be in a state of big remembrance, to go to sleep, for maybe a long
time that will give you will enable you and you'll see
something that will give you like a bushel, I'll give you like a
good news. And it's actually a way of solace for many people when
you know, they can see the Prophet SAW Selim literal dream or any of
the Sahaba, or righteous people or, and there's a whole science to
interpreting dreams, and what specific symbols what they mean,
and so forth. Because true dreams don't mean you're gonna see it, in
terms of the Prophet sighs exactly like, the way it was. For most
other people, that dream will be symbolic. So certain things like
certain animals, you can fly certain things,
certain places falling down, and things like this have a
significance in them that there have been several books written
about it, some of the Muslim scholars written about it, but
it's kind of a science to it to, to interpreting their dream.
In this, the sexes that prophets
are working, would be coming. But we have implied that when
I came to him, for the first time, he was really taken aback. No, the
hadith is not saying that he saw the angel coming to him in the
mountain, he would see events of the next day, for six months prior
to this, you would have a dream and then, you know, the next day,
it's exactly as he imagined, not necessarily that he saw the
building. But we don't know that, that at least it doesn't say that
is
not about this, but something you just mentioned is going to solve
the problem. Now, if I read correctly, if somebody makes no do
and then goes to sleep, or angels,
pray for him.
There might be some report like this.
But generally speaking, we all have half of our
half of our the guardian angels, no better word for it, that are
with us all the time. And they are creatures of light. And so they
like to be around people who are in a good state, and they'd love
to be on the court. And
so it's It might even be a little offensive for them for you to have
to hang around around you and you're not mistakable so they like
it when you see them a little and if they're if you're in a state
and then they can pray for you and then they could be more of a means
for you then then otherwise. So
how do you tell the prophesy somebody will say that and
that will is the weapon of the believer, because it makes you
aware that there are certain the topic of course, anytime somebody
better you don't have to have a look for it, you can read Quran
without touching the Muslim without it, you can make a thicker
without it. So you shouldn't let your lack of being able to prevent
you from doing that. But if you have the ability to be able to
look it's better to be so and then there's certainly by that like
praying and touching the Quran itself and this halfway you have
to have to offer on the caliber, all these things you need to have.

Preserved means that it's been memorized and it's been passed on
after. So whether it's in the form of a book in the form of one's
memory.
It could also mean the practice of it is preserved as well. So it's
kind of an open term
