Li was sabe human Wala.
If someone is truly doing something for Allah azza wa jal,
then
he should, if someone is truly devoted to Allah azza wa jal he
will be balanced. He or she will be balanced. Okay?
You'll be balanced. Reason being. If you do one thing for Allah azza
wa jal if you act for Allah azza wa jal
right, you will do everything for Allah azza wa jal, right? You do
everything for Allah,
someone who is imbalanced in the deen
it often indicates a deficiency in his intention or his ignorance, he
is intentional or his knowledge
such that if a person is actually merely
doing an indulging and enjoying only one act of a bad and hating
everything else, either his intention is astray, or his
ignorant
is if he's saying that I'm doing this for Allah azza wa jal, then
we tell him Allah also asks you to do other things too. So if you're
truly doing something for Allah, you will do everything else for
Allah azza wa jal. Okay.
And when someone lives balanced, a balanced life, he's mentally
sound, he's much more mentally sound right and his well being
okay, it will be much more centered.
We are on hikma here page 114 at the bottom or sorry actually
okay, let's just start from that one.
I leave that kill letter no hold on a birdie LMR melody for Algebra
I lay him will Judah Tato first a car home either heavy celestial
age algebra book mm common use Hakuna l Jannetty. Bissell
BISSELL. So one of the hardest things is to interact with the
unseen belief in the unseen is one of the hardest things. So Allah
has ever been I thought says in this Hekima that Allah knows that
we will be extremely weak in interacting with the unseen, the
vibe, Allah knows that we will be extremely weak in our interaction
of the vibe. Okay, the unseen. So what has he done?
He's rendered things obligatory. He's made things obligatory. All
right. So yeah, and you, you know, someone you want him to benefit.
Okay, by telling him to go into a room, which you've described, but
he hasn't seen you want him to go into that room?
Versus a room he's already in which in which he sees things.
Okay, so to go into a room that has obstacles to get into it.
Yeah. And it says if I'm gonna say look, I want you to climb 20
stories. And at the 20th story, you're gonna find this in this in
this in this verses, he's already in a room satisfied with
plenty of stuff.
Most people will not go Most people will not move because of
the effort that is required in the deen okay. And why has Allah made
effort required in the deed? Simply
so that you can appreciate its reward? If work comes easily goes
easily? Okay. Whatever comes easily goes away easily too.
Right? So Allah azza wa jal and also, this matter of reward is not
merely, okay. Just generosity, just to get rewarded. Allah azza
wa jal wants to know who is sincere and who is not. And so he
has put inside of in front of every reward, a great obstacle and
he's hidden the reward. Right? He has hidden the reward.
Okay.
So people will not go people will be comfortable with what they
have. But if Allah azza wa jal wants good for someone, he forces
them to do the good. And how does he force them to do the good?
Right with threats of punishment? Okay, threats of punishment.
Anyone who knows, how Allah azza wa jal works is that
Allah azza wa jal has a lira for those who truly believe in him.
That means someone
Who truly believes that Allah the prophets, I seldom said one of
Allah's attributes is greater, which is like jealousy. Jealousy
means I want your attention. I don't want your attention going to
someone else. Okay? And so when you start giving your attention
elsewhere, how does Allah pull you back? Firstly with the wife, which
was the wife of the Hulk, and the wife of the Kitab, the wife of the
book, Revelation from the book that's telling us to return back
fulfill rule Allah turn back to Allah. But okay, as said, no other
man said Mariela, your drug, Bill, Quran EudracT Vissel. Tongue, that
which, if the Quran doesn't work, if all the advice of the Quran
doesn't work, then Allah uses force. Okay, so Allah has given
you the khateeb is talking, the Quran is talking, all the
religious books are talking turned back to Allah leave this dunya
most cases it doesn't work. So then what does Allah use force use
of force, use of force being the actual soltana, the Khalifa of the
Muslims, who puts punishments on alcohol punishments on all these
things, that arranges that makes a bad easy for you, or Allah's own
use of force by making giving a misery, some misery, putting some
misery in your life, forcing you to go back, making the dunya
bitter in your mouth, the misery of Allah dunya
the misery that Allah pours on people who love the dunya is that
they will lose dunya they're gonna lose whatever good dunya they have
to lose it. If they have health, they get sick. If they have
wealth, they become poor. All right. If they love fame, they
will be humiliated.
Or sometimes you see someone get humiliated. The cure for someone
who's Xiao Hua is, his passion is fame. His cure is to be
humiliated. That's the cure. Okay? That will cause them to turn back
if you love fame will be humility. If you love wealth, you lose your
wealth.
And the cure for the pious, someone's a man of piety, but
starts to turn away,
starts to love dunya, again, is that he will sin. And it's some
people who are advanced, their past fame, they don't care about
fame, their past wealth, I don't care if they're rich or poor,
their past reputation, they don't care what anyone thinks of them.
Their past collecting dunya homes and cars, they couldn't care less
where you put them, you can put them in a dumpster and be happy.
He has one thing that he loves.
And that is the feeling of piety, and serenity of Amen. That's the
only thing he loves. He doesn't care about anything else. Such a
person, though could still hypothetically
on New Matter of the dunya can come up and he falls in love with
it. So how does Allah azza wa jal bring him back by making him fail
in his own piety, causing him to fall
in sins and lose his state of piety. So he becomes miserable
until he becomes miserable enough to start asking the question, what
went wrong?
Until he realizes I fall in love with dunya again, a different form
of dunya came up. So you rejected cars. You rejected homes, you're
not lured by that you're not lowered by money. You'll never do
something haram for money, you will not lowered by anything. But
a new form of dunya can come up, right a new situation can come up
that you fall for you think Allah azza wa jal is going to run out of
tests, is never going to run out of tests. You conquered what you
conquered. There's always going to be another test coming IBLEES
Allah helianthus Allah, He conquered so many tests. Right. He
conquered so many tests.
But a new test came up the hulk of Adam Alayhis Salam, and when that
cut tests came up, he failed that miserably. Okay. Sophia,
authority.
Everyone should know the two Sophia hands of the tabby. So what
do we have? We have three generations. The prophets I send
them said the best of generations are three, my generation then the
next generation and the next generation.
chiral Caroni, corny Thumbelina, you don't know the millennial, you
know, so the people who met the Prophet, the people who didn't
meet the prophet, but met Sahaba met the companions, and the people
who'd never met the Companions, but they met the
companions of the companions, three generations. We call the
sahaba. Tab in, which means followers and then Tebbetts have
been
followers of the followers
the great the best of the tablet ain you have two amazing people
and maybe from the tablet or the tablets are very in my memory
escaping me right now. And they are the two Sofia fans. Sophia and
Evan. Oh yeah, Nina and Sophia and authority. Okay, Sophia. Oh yeah.
Anna and Sophia and authorea. Sophia and Evan. Oh, yeah, Nina
was a scholar of Mecca.
who was blind. Okay, who was blind. Sophia, and authority is a
different type of scholar. And He's different from manic chef and
Ahmed and many people say he had more knowledge than them.
But he didn't rise up and have a mother because he kept traveling.
Why did he keep traveling? He kept traveling follow London cool. We
have something called hula. Hula means that you don't resign from
life. But you are relatively unknown and uninvolved and avoid
the trends and the fads of the age. The trends and the fads of
the era. This is called como. So we would see qumola So what would
he do? He would go into a city, he would go to a city and he'd go to
the masjid and he started teaching in the mosque, and he would have a
handful of people attending such a small amount that class, the
sincerity was there. Once the Jamar got so big, he would get
upset. He wouldn't like it because now the sincerity is unknown.
Whenever you have a Quran says All right, come together once methanol
were fura the tomato fucka Roma we saw him becoming Jana. Come in
ones and twos and talk about your companion means Muhammad's I sell
them means Oh kofod of Mecca don't discuss the matter in a big group.
Because in a big group, if there's a dominant idea, everyone will be
basically just toeing the politically correct line. So if
you're in a big group, no one's going to have the courage to say
maybe Muhammad is a true prophet. So Allah said to the coloration of
Mecca, common ones and twos, because you're more likely to be
sincere in ones and twos. So Sophia, and so once the gathering
gets bigger, it becomes more corrupted. Okay, so Sofia, Lipno
30. Whenever his gathering got big, he up and left. He went to
another city. Okay, he would go to another city. So what's the
natural results? The natural result is that yes, he became his
knowledge was in many cities, but he did not have one disciple who
took from him A to Z. Whereas Malik and Shafi and Achmed and Abu
Hanifa. They were settled in cities for long periods.
Malik and Ahmed and Abu Hanifa stayed their whole lives in the
same city
in Baghdad, Abu Hanifa and Kuva. American Medina Shafi he resided
his main residence after his scholarship was complete was
Egypt. And he took his students he had students from A to Z, he took
them there in Egypt. But Sophia and authority didn't have this.
They have Sophia and authority. He was doing what's called Paula Blue
Moon. He wants he doesn't want to be known. Now, Sophia and
authority he has an amazing statement. Okay, he has an amazing
statement. And he said, you will see some of the Sufia
he is a czar head when it comes to food and drink while MILVUS with
the wall Menzel. He doesn't care if he's eating the roughest of
bread. He doesn't care if he never has a cold sweet drink. He doesn't
care if his clothes is the roughest of clothes. And he
doesn't care if His home is like a little hut. Right?
Okay. Well, I can this Sumati tama, but when it comes to his
reputation, He's so greedy.
When it comes to his reputation, he will never sacrifice his image
in front of the people. So if you are an authority, recognize such
people and he gives us little wisdom. He says that there is
there is no had they passed all these tests of these temptations,
but the temptation of your image, he never passed it, and he'll
never move an inch that will sacrifice his image. Alright, so
basically what we're told here, there's so many different tests,
right? That do not ever think that you're finished being tested, as
long as you're breathing. So long as you're breathing, Allah will
bring you a new test. Okay, so long as you're breathing, you will
get a new test. It doesn't mean every day will be a test as Surah
till Jin with the main
In Surah, about the spiritual path is Surah Al isn't main Aya is in
surah Jin. And it tells us You shall still stay steadfast on the
trip, then Allah will give you a great reward. And somewhere inside
of that reward will be your next test. The seed of your next test
is inside of your reward will allow us the Karmapa let's go now
Huma and Radhika left in the home fee. Right? Inside that reward is
your next test the seed you don't see it, you don't see it, you
might not see if for a long time, you might not see it for a long
time. But inside that reward is the birth of a new test. And this
isn't to make people scared. But to make people realize that we're
always being tested.
You may pass one The problem is if you're not educated in this, you
will pass one test.
And then you think I've passed all tests, right? No, there are always
new tests. Someone is tested in
the dunya. He passes his test by going to the masjid, he comes to
the masjid Oh, you got skills. So do this job. Here's realize this
job is the next test. It's a different genre of tests, you're
not going to get the same test over and over. Okay? So this is
the nature of tests. And if you keep failing your tests, you
should be hopeful. Now, there are two types of people. We have a
bliss, he failed his test. And Allah expelled him completely.
Then you have another type of person, he keeps failing his
tests, but Allah keeps giving him more chances. What's the
difference between the two? Don't we see any bliss gets kicked out
right away? But then we have a hadith of a man sitting and
repenting 70 times, but Allah azza wa jal keeps giving him more and
more rope.
Okay, what's the difference between the two? Difference
between the two is how you respond to the tests.
If police responded with arrogance, stubbornness and
refusal to admit his wrong, Adam Alayhis Salam and most of the
meaning, respond with brokenness and sadness and wondering why am I
failing this test? Okay. And sometimes you keep failing, you
don't realize you're being in a test until you realize it, and he
responds with fear. He responds with Toba. So there's another
hikma of m&r thought one of his most famous ones, in which he
says, it could be that Act of, of of mistake that you make in life
is better for you, because it produces humility and brokenness,
then if you had passed the test, and therefore, results in
arrogance, okay, so, so
we should, when we fall, we should strive to learn how to fail our
tests, because we'll keep getting a second chance, as long as you
fall in the right way. Just like, just like
an athlete or a stunt artist, if he falls the right way. He could
keep doing the same stunt and falling and getting up and doing
it over and over, or an athlete who falls the right way. But if
you follow the wrong way once you're finished. So if you fail
and you turn back your failure at Allah azza wa jal, you're fit you
completely finished, just like someone, he falls from a building
in the wrong way. He break your spine, you're never gonna get a
chance again. But if you fall on your shoulder, the correct way,
right.
Okay, on your shoulder, you can keep getting a second chance.
And so, when since when we fail tests and we fall into sins, this
is as if Allah azza wa jal is forcing us back to him. And we
should take an example and understand
how Allah azza wa jal uses tests to bring us back.
Oh, Jabba alayka will do the committee he warmer Oh Jabba
alayka Illa de hula Jannetty there is a big difference between slave
hood to Allah and slave hood to everything other than Allah azza
wa jal. So people don't want to be called a slave who wants to be
called the slave? Right? And the word Abbot is not a servant.
Right.
Ivan is a slave,
a servant. He only serves part of the day and he goes home and he
owns himself after that he does what he wants
Avid is completely owned everything about him his wealth in
the hierarchy will no Sookie Wilma haoma Mattila Malala mean my life
and my death and my my devotion in the hayati one oh Sookie Omaha yo
mama Tina Arabella, my life, my devotion,
my death everything is for Allah this is what Ovid is. So the iBot
of Allah is different, because this his work is sweet.
And at the end of it, the reward is his. Whereas the iPad to dunya
or to people like having a real slave, being a slave to a real
human, the work is hard and the reward goes to your master. This
is a big difference. He was served the dunya you serve people.
The work is better, you don't enjoy the work. Okay? You do not
enjoy it. No slave enjoys his job. And at the end of all that
bitterness, the reward goes back to the master, you don't get any
reward. Okay? But the service of Allah azza wa jal is comforting
and sweet.
Good, and the reward is to yourself comes back to you.
What's an example? Let's take a look at an example.
Allah azza wa jal, he wants to serve Allah. The prophets I send
them said sometimes I sleep and sometimes they get up. He says, if
you are worshiping Allah at night and your head is dozing off sleep,
show me an employer who tells you on your job, if your head is ever
dozing off, take a nap.
Alright?
Allah azza wa jal says, My servant gets rewarded for what he intended
to do and never did. Such that we have a hadith the prophets I
seldom said people will arise a yomo pm and see rewards for
actions they never did. And they will ask, Oh, Allah is this Is
this really my record? Because I never did this. He said, My
servant, you forgot that you intended to do it. And I
remembered it and I rewarded you for it. Show me then
an employee who's going to come and say, Oh, I intended to do the
job. But I never did. Well, you're never gonna get paid. Right? Big
difference between working for others and working for Allah the
Work for Allah is sweet and filled with understanding and is easy and
is catered to you. Someone who has a sick relative is not expected to
be going out in the world and changing the world he's his a bad
is to serve that sick relative, right? That's his eye. So you're a
bad service to Allah is catered to you, you will
our employee will never tell you tell me where you want to live.
Tell me how is how do you want to work this job with your family?
You will never find that the service of Allah azza wa jal
forces you okay to break up with your family. But certain work with
people does. So this is the big difference. So Oh javanica will do
the cosmetic he made you serve him. But then he gave you the
reward of the service. Whereas all of the reward anything you do if
you are in a university, and you write a book, you don't own the
book. How did you write the book? Who was feeding you when you wrote
the book? The university so they own the book. They will give you a
royalty. A small sliver from the top. Okay, small sliver from the
top. I one time got mail that was labeled to my name that was
incorrect. All right, Yale University. So I opened it. I
didn't realize someone put the envelope in my box. It was from
one of the university presses, Oxford University Press. And it
had in it a check for $2.17 the quarterly
royalty of a guy in the Egyptology department. That's his quarter
really royalty, you can use any going to cash it. If you were to
charge a boy to go cash it he'll charge you $5 Right. The whole
thing is $2.17. Okay, then I gave it to him, he opened it. And he
showed me look at this, how many years I spent, and this is the
royalty I'm getting now. $2 So here's such an abstruse book, that
who buys it university libraries, no one's gonna buy it and Barnes
and Noble, how many universities are there in the world? So in the
first year, maybe 70% of the universities will buy the book.
Right after that. How many universities are there
I'm not gonna buy it a second time. Right? All that work, very
little reward.
Whereas, look at Allah's reward
when you write a book, okay? When you write a book, when you write a
book, so long as that book is existing,
right, you're being rewarded, so long as someone cracks it open,
you're getting rewarded.
When does the author get rewarded? Only when someone buys it, not
when someone reads it. So the the library will buy it once the light
the school library buys it once, then for 50 years, people could
read from that book, the owner doesn't matter. The writer doesn't
get anything from it except the one purchase okay. But Allah says
So, long as people are reading that book, you get a reward
Subhanallah okay.
Now, we go to the next page
June 14
and
117.
And we open the chapter on another very, very important, very
important
practice,
right from the added to solve.
Yes. So, let's say that I am deleting
a reference group that only the
professors and researchers will buy, okay. So clearly, there is no
financial motive there because we, you know, just as you said, it,
you can imagine how many people will buy, what is the correct Nia
because this is not a religious, this is actually a scholarly, you
can still make a near to advance knowledge to advance knowledge
that can be benefited to people of benefit to people. That's what
your intention basically so you know, for the sake of, but this
has to be for the sake of Allah to get and you can make the intention
that I improve in my resume. Because when you improve, you can
do a lot of good and also also you will get divine help in doing what
Allah created humans to do. And Allah created humans to advance
and knowledge to build up the dunya the world, right?
So you're doing what Allah created you to do as a human being
advanced knowledge, improve situation of things, improve your
own personal situation, okay. All of this is not a the only time
that this is not accepted. Is when you we use dunya. To gain Deen
unless dunya is used unless the deen is used for Allah sake. And
for the dunya sake, it's accepted to Alright, and let's let's hold
off for the rest of the questions until we finish the section. Man
ever AlkaViva che ohm mythos Lithonia de Colombia have made
that an Africa nothing benefits the heart more than a spiritual
retreat we're in it enters the domain of meditation. Now
shaytaan he does a trick on people all the time,
all the time. And that trick is to divide the world into binary,
black and white. Whereas the sooner comes and always shows us
that there's something in the middle.
That binary is that there's us and there are people worshipping in
the mountains
or living in the masjid. And there's us with our families and
jobs and careers and bills.
And there are the people of the past
who lived, you know, without having to work nine hours a day.
And they just were serving Allah always through creating a binary.
Okay. So there are there is truth that there are two types of
people, people in the world and people removed from the world. So
who's removed from the world, people who Allah blessed that he
doesn't want them working in the world, and their whole lives like
Ibrahim in it to him. One of the great of the of the early
generations. The first people to live like this, or to be known for
this is Ibrahim Adam Ibrahimovic. Adam was the son of the rich, and
then he didn't like the life of the rich, okay. And he heard a
voice saying you weren't created to chase rabbits and go hunting
for fun. Then he started to change his ways. And he began to just
live he learned the fundamentals of his deen and then he began
going to a mosque, worshiping in that messagebird Until then
working on us
side job, okay, and then making a few companions. Then after some
time when he got tired of that, or he began to be known, he would
take a journey when he had enough money, he would take a long
journey and in this long journey is immense spiritual benefit. When
you take a long journey, you feel you physically are moving, so you
start to imagine what it's like to leave the dunya so you take a long
journey to another city, okay? All the while stopping worshipping
Allah having no attachments. Then he would live in that mosque and
around that masjid for another long period of time, working a
side job, and then going and worshiping Allah day and night.
Okay, living this beautiful life. That's Ibrahim, Adam.
These are people we say they are removed from the dunya. Okay, and
serve Allah azza wa jal, only by worshipping Him and they serve the
OMA some people say, well, what's the benefit this person benefits
himself? No. He think he's not making dua for the OMA. And don't
you forget what Allah says in the Quran, okay.
About the minion in Mecca, that Allah azza wa jal, only, sir, only
protected them from being punished at the hands of the believers
because of a few secret believers in Mecca. Rachel among me, no, no,
when he sat on one minute, all right. If you had harmed them,
Allah would have punished you. Okay. So Allah puts saved the the
Quran the pagans of Mecca from being punished by the Muslims only
because of a few secret believers. So Allah azza wa jal may be saving
an entire community
because of the dua of one or two of them. Okay. So he is serving
the community in a different capacity in an unseen capacity.
But there are others like Alma ricotta, automotive and Abdulaziz.
Okay, Imam Shafi.
Right later on. All right, so I had Deena up there. Alia, but
they're in the dunya. Working, serving, okay.
So the saying is, if Allah made you,
outside of the dunya, you're not allowed to desire to be in the
dunya. It's considered wrong for them to desire to be in the dunya,
even though they may wonder what is it like to be in the frontlines
of doubt? or what have you, but they shouldn't, they should stick
to what Allah gave them. And if you are inside of the dunya, okay,
if you are inside of the dunya,
then you should accept what are the honor that Allah gave you to
serve, and you should not desire to be outside the dunya because as
even our thought will teach us so much of the self is taught by even
thought. He says, this is a sha Allah Coffea This is a secret
shower. And what is it really a secret desire for a desire for
laziness, that you're actually you're just being lazy, you're
lazy to do the job Allah gave you to do. So in order to dress up
your laziness, you you pretend as if you really desire to worship
Allah, but all you really desire to do is sleep. Okay? asleep, and
that an individual is not permitted to remove himself from
some service that Allah put him in to become a man of the mountains
and resigned from life. You're not permitted to do this. Except if
Allah gives you the trigger. And what is the trigger force? You are
forced to like what you got imprisoned, like your wanted, and
you're on the run like who? Musa alayhis salaam, Prophet Musa
alayhis, salam,
Prophet Musa alayhis salam, he learned that he was a Hebrew that
he was from the beat Benny of surah. So he started to now visit
the Benny instead of in as slaves and start to talk to them and ask
them who and he started discovering that they have a God
and he started discovering their history of Prophets. When Allah
azza wa jal wanted him away from the world of of service and work,
he caused him to be wanted. And he caused him to have a death
sentence on him. Okay, it forced him to travel across the desert.
And then he ends up living with Prophet Dr. Ali Salaam and
learning the ways of prophecy and just being with the sheep. Okay,
and with his family, and with the Prophet tribe, okay. So how do we
know when Allah azza wa jal has elevated you from being in this
world of action to the world of merely worship?
You're going to be forced to use of force sickness. Okay, any use
of force. And oftentimes it is not a good one, right? You're going to
be forced to go up involuntary with a bitter taste the dunya has
to have a bitter taste in your mouth, so that you leave this
dunya feeling like I don't want to see it again. I don't want to
think about it again. It's like trauma. Okay. Now shaytaan then
tells us that
there's only these two.
Okay, so you're stuck.
No, in fact, there is a third type. Okay, there's a third type.
And the example of this third type is the example of the Prophet size
center. Namely, that if your love for Allah azza wa jal, and your
reading of the stories of the Olia, okay, has caused you to have
such a yearning for the life of the Olia and how they live with
its simplicity, which is baraka, which is cut Ahmet, which it's
serenity, with all of the sweetness of the life of these
earlier and your desire to have this so badly. But you feel stuck
because you have to live like everyone else is living. The
solution for you is that you will attain what you desire by devoting
a portion of your day to that life. And this is what he's
talking about by Cameroon and Oslo was that you devote a portion of
your day to that way of living. So you are one of them for a part of
the day.
And this is the statement of the self.
Not Know for Sanam bendahara wardrobe and On Belay were
soldiers for Allah's Cause in the day, but we are monks in the
night. So you're not going to be a monk all the time like Ibrahim had
been
but you can be a monk part of the day. Okay, you can be part of the
day.
Okay, part of the day you make yourself as if you are totally
withdrawn from the world.
And he also in one of the books it's mentioned aside Ramadan booty
chef, this late Syrian scholar say Ramadan booty in his shutter of
this hikma. He says that you may not attain halwa you may not
attain Halawa, but you can attain human right what's kind of a Calva
is literal literally being alone, completely alone. Very little food
very little drink. No people that's color. And halwa is like a
speedy way in which the Olia used to take the more read from someone
who has no insight to someone who's spiritually mature. Okay,
such that they would take him and strip away every distraction and
what are the causes of distraction people in food and drink. So they
used to take him, put him in a room, okay, and check up on him
and give him a bad liquor to do and usually the room will be next
to a masjid or inside of a masjid even Okay, or in his area. And in
this room, there will be no distractions. So then they would
give him his food, and slowly they will decrease his food. Okay.
Such that his stomach is empty, his mind is clear. Now when he
does the vicar is going to have power. It's going to be potent,
like when you have
a thunderstorm. Okay? You want to attract lightning? What do you
need to do? Remove the wood, put metal, put copper, right, keep it
up, keep up the copper and remove all non conductors, remove all
rubber and wood and everything
and then have an open plane of sheets of metal and copper. You're
going to attract lightning, right? You can't do this every day but
for a while they used to do it usually for 40 days. Okay, usually
they do the 40 days by the end he comes out and his Eman now is not
the man of a follower but the man of a knower because he should at
this time see dreams and see visions. Okay, as a result of this
decline.
But homophone is different. Como according to share side Ramadan
booty he said for the modern times. Como is that you are away
from the modern fads and trends. You spend time disconnecting from
modern fads and trends, okay. And they talk about the attic calf of
some people, the attic calves
Some people is really invalid. When you do Attica if you're not
supposed to be socializing in Attica, right? You can talk, but
you're not meant to be attending the weddings, and then going
attending and seeing what's happened in the masjid and
attending and having meetings, you can talk with companions for
encouragement, but you're not supposed to be socialized. So one
of the things that the modern scholars say, what is the benefit
of an auntie calf when you are on your social media the whole time?
And you are on YouTube the whole time? Okay. So for modern people,
our home role is to be disconnected from the rest of the
world.
Right? And you could still be with the people around you, but you'll
be disconnected from the fads and trends and what's trending in that
time period. Okay, this is como. So shipside Ramadan booty advises
us to try to have some of that. Okay.
Every once in a while, if we cannot do hello,
okay, and many of them are all
some of the contemporary scholars have been asked, Why have you
disconnected the practice of color? Like, when was the last
time you actually heard someone going into cologne coming back?
It's not even normal in society anymore, right? It's not wrong.
But the answer was that many of the mosaics said the problems of
the Ummah are so much, right, that color is a luxury. And that it
suffices you to take a few hours of your day, right and make a
color by herself. Okay? A period of time in the day and make a
color by herself. Okay.
Next thing he says this is related to this, this is related to this,
because a person when he enters into como, or his own Oslo, all
the difference in color and Oslo is that Oslo is from yourself. You
do it how you wish. Kalwa is actually a official practice. You
don't enter fellow by herself, a chef comes to you and he knows
what's good for you. And what's bad for you. Just like a doctor
certain things is a home remedy. Right? Soup, orange juice, honey
lemon, you don't need a prescription for that. No one
needs to tell you how to do it. It's a home remedy. You can never
do too much of it that you're going to harm yourself. Right? But
how much tylenol to take three has a requirement how much of
antibiotic to take has a requirement. The difference
between that Kalwa and Oslo is that halwa is you're put into it,
and you're told what to do and you're pulled out of it when it
benefits you. Okay?
All XLA is from yourself.
Also, that is being alone, how you want to be alone, how you judge
yourself. And COBOL is not even being alone. It's just being away
from the headache, the fads, the trends of society and getting away
from that stuff. That's three different levels. Okay, and there
are different benefits. Now. Someone may not go into this. We
always talk about what causes people not to do this. Why will
someone hesitate from doing this? They will hesitate from doing this
because they will feel the loss from being productive.
They will feel I'm not being productive, and our western
societies and every successful society has its people and
addiction to productivity
and addiction to productivity. Okay, if you go to even back then
if you go to the past go to the past but then when Baghdad was a
great city but dad who Medina to Murshida Khatun Okay, so dear Kofi
Annan Africa Qarun Hello, hello Libya, jazz Allahu sadaqa Okay,
the great Abu Khalil Jelani, it's attributed to him that this poem,
he said this poem, he came from Ray, which is modern day to Iran,
okay, as a Persian boy, okay, I've said lineage, but he's a Persian
to come down as a boy, his dream, to be a man of Allah. That was his
dream to be a chef. His mother sent him down and granted him his
dream. So he came down as a young youth, like 1314 15 years old, as
a youth, and his mother gave him his allowance to live on and he
enrolled and he began studying with the Messiah and fulfilling
his dream. And life was not easy in Baghdad. It's an expensive
city. So he found himself to be poor very quickly, how to color
Janani became poor very quickly, and he had a few friends and
Ricardo Jelani,
He had a few friends in which they were poor together and they were
students together and they were sincere together, and he was a
small stature. Like even miss old Abdul Qadir Jilani had the stature
of Abdullah bin Massoud Rhodiola Juana okay.
And he was they were suffering so badly of hunger because of the
prices of everything. So he said this poem back the medina too much
repetition but that is a luminous city. Everything is there the best
of artisans, the best scholars, the best poets, okay, the best
cooks everything close the best with you know, how, however, it
has a problem to do Kofi Annan, AKA your monthly allowance will
quickly be squeezed up. Okay, so the, like living in New York or
San Francisco
so much so Cairo Lula Halabja if karoun we know the character of
karoun in the Quran, who they his his warehouse is safe of wealth at
the keys had to be carried by multiple people. Karuna, Allah
Allah, if karoun lived in Baghdad,
it will be permissible to give him as a cat. Okay, it will become
eligible for Zika. So this is what he said about this. Okay. So
people the fear, what is the fear that people have, even in Baghdad,
they were so busy, great cities, on the cutting edge of life, they
are addicted to productivity, because life is so expensive, you
have to work work work. So what is the fear that people will have
have hormone of withdrawing from work withdrawing from all these
things? The fear of that you won't be productive. But what is even
our thoughts telling us and today you're guilty, like if you're
sitting down doing nothing, immediately, society has embedded
in feel guilty, right? Society will make you feel that way. So
much so because of our technology. The work never stops. You can be
too in the morning on a Sunday, you can check your email for work,
right? So
even our thought is telling us the origin of anything good is in
hormone. And if you want to persist in producing good crops
and fruits, you must constantly have como withdrawal what does he
say? Say it Finn will do the coffee or the locomole FURMAN Mm
hmm. Lem, huge fun layer Tim Munna Tegile.
He says, bury yourself in hormone, yes, you will be buried, you're an
outsider for that few hours, you're out of touch, you're not
reachable. You're all of these things for that period of time. In
order to justify this in your mind, you must remind yourself of
a seed. A seed, which never is buried, never produces a tree. If
you put a seed on the top of the soil, you're not going to have a
tree, you have to bury it. Only the seed that's buried will
produce fruit. So if you as a person want to continuously,
consistently produce fruit, then consistently bury yourself,
consistently withdraw. And you are you're replenishing your source of
inspiration. How do you get inspiration?
How do you get inspiration? In silence? No one gets inspired
while working. You get inspired
with new ideas, when you're far from everyone else. Now, I'm going
to tell you, I'm going to give you now basically the secret of one
out of six Hollywood movies.
One out of six Hollywood movies is the imitation of Moses, the Moses
story. You have a man of prints.
He's taken out of that because of some problem. He's put in another
world. That new world has a new way of operating. Right? What it
is in the world of Pharaoh before operating as a prince, I have a
whip. You work I build. That's the law.
He's a problem develops. He's removed.
What with the memory of the injustice that he suffered? He now
enters a new world. He's lonely in the desert. But he's learning a
new language. What is that language? A new world, a language
in which Allah is in charge? Confer corn. If you serve Allah
when you throw your staff it becomes a snake. Okay. It becomes
a snake. This is a new world completely. The world of Allah
azza wa jal, then he comes back, okay. And with his new law
conquers the Old World.
Okay, redemption.
I want you next time you're watching some movie. Just watch
and see if how many movies that you know of fit this pattern. A
guy he's in a world. He gets mistreated. He leaves, he learns a
new language of cause and effects. He comes back and he conquers his
old enemies with the new language as a victor. Okay.
How many words like Batman?
Who?
Which one is killed? Go? I didn't see that one.
Lion King, Aladdin?
I didn't see that one. Okay.
All of these. Okay.
So many of these would say
which one?
Milan, Alonso. So almost all Disney. It's the same pattern,
okay. Now,
how are you going to attain that depth consistently, okay, by
entering como consistently, or else what's going to happen,
you're going to weigh out your skill set until you are not
wanted, then you will be rejected, then you will be forced into it
with bitterness, right? If you just keep working, working,
working, working, working, what's going to happen, you're going to
wear out your skill set, right? Until you're not wanting anymore,
you're not needed, okay? You're gonna weigh out your inspiration,
until you're not inspired anymore, you will be forced out. Okay? And
then you're gonna have a backlog of inspiration, you're gonna have
to be in hold for a long time. Okay, until you can come out
again, just like if you if a farmer uses a crop, and every two
years, takes a short season off or a short break, okay? Or he takes a
plot of land and he uses 75% to grow his crop. Then the next year,
he shifts that 75% Then the next year, he shifts. So constantly,
every year, there's a new piece of soil that had a one year break. He
can then grow every year. But if he runs that crop in that spot, 10
years in a row, he's going to have to stop growing crops in that plot
for like three years to replenish the nutrients inside the soil.
That's what they do. Nitrogen, right. But if he had consistently
given portion, a portion of that field's a break, right, then it
will
be better for him. Okay, he won't have to take a long breather.
Okay, so this is basically like, I mean, look at what, since you
talked about new Mulan and, and Nemo. Look at what
course what's his name?
Lightning McQueen. Look what he did in order to try to bleep beat
the other guy. He skipped his. He skipped his fuel up, didn't he?
Then his tires burned out and he didn't make it right and it ended
up being a tie. Why he skipped his pitstop to go on. Okay? If you
skip your pitstop, you will run out of gas and you will experience
pain. Okay, and then you will be forced into home. That's another
redemption story right there. Okay, because then he goes and he
lives with those other cars. Okay. And then he comes back, learning a
new skill set of loyalty and friendship, right? It's all the
same. Okay, it's all the same.
So, we are a people we believe in comun. And we should avoid a lot
of problems by developing depth in our personality depth in our Eman
depth in our inspiration. Okay, so this is his hikma here. Okay,
big hikma. For those who can practice this. Right? Then they
can enjoy the sweetness of people's company. Another point,
people come into a city and they love the city. Give them some
people more than others. Give them some time they will be complaining
about that city. Oh, this community is this this communities
that guarantee he'll be complaining. Now why is it that
you loved it in the beginning, but you hate it now? Simple reason.
Nothing is sweet in itself. Everything the sweetness of a
thing is in it's
the sweetness of a thing is in its complementary nature with
something else. Right? The sweetness of everything is in its
complementary nature with something else okay.
So people, family, friends, hobbies, everything, you love it
for a while you get bored of it. Well, the solution to this is to
pull out
totally on a regular basis, so that when you go back to it, you
appreciate it more. Right. And if you're sitting with your with with
with your friends all the time, they will become enemies. That's
the nature of it. If you keep eating sugar all the time, what's
going to happen? You get diabetes, you're not allowed to have sugar
now, right? If you keep drinking coffee, it causes you it stopped
tasting good right after a while.
So the benefit of sweets is only after a savory meal. The benefit
of water is only after a salty meal. After a while it becomes
painful. So the sweetness of each other's company is only beneficial
after loneliness. Right? So having hormone makes you appreciate and
allows you to be long lasting with your friends and your family. You
will appreciate what you have because you pull out every once in
a while okay, this is all the benefit of this subject
I think we'll do one more than we take our breathing
cetera Anwar Surah ad B Katha if a variety each land and and tubular
B will do the alohar What are you neither are they have a descendant
STR by way of honoring them. He veiled the lights of the innermost
hearts with the opacities of exterior phenomena. So they would
not be abused when expressing themselves nor be accused of
seeking renown gap.
Let me give you a quick explanation of this and then we'll
see what the share explains it as
spirituality is so valuable in the sight of Allah azza wa jal and
spirituality is
what is happening deep within your own self. Okay.
It is so valuable in the sight of Allah azza wa jal that Allah azza
wa jal has created external things.
Okay, external things to distract you from thinking about your own
state. Because if you think about your own state, you may end up
losing gratitude for it or abusing it. Okay.
Like for example,
take for example, Allah azza wa jal loves for you to experience
your spirituality naturally without being conscious of it.
Because once you become conscious of witnessing your own
spirituality, you ruin it. You ruin it, just like a group of
friends sitting and laughing and enjoying themselves. And then
someone says, mashallah, look, we'll have a good time we're
having you just ruined, okay? Okay. And so one, this great
moment happens. Allah azza wa jal said something quick to distract
you from it, so that you remain all natural.
All natural, okay? And just as your spirituality with Allah azza
wa jal should be always all natural. I'll give you another
example in which in Lion King, okay, since this is the subject of
the day, I guess,
look, next time you watch Lion King,
how Rafiki treats the lion. He is being silly and all this stuff.
Why? Because he wants Simba to be constantly all natural, in a
completely natural state, not expecting anything. And as soon as
he has a vision, he has this vision, okay.
of his father, immediately, right before he can become conscious of
what just happened. He distracts him again, to make him distracted.
So that your spiritual moments you don't want to ever think about it.
You want it to constantly be living naturally. Okay? And this
is one of the meanings of what he's saying here. That the secret
moment of spirituality, Allah azza wa jal quickly will remove you
from it by some external phenomena. Okay. I'm thinking,
Man, these people who write these movies, they're deep.
Right? Whoever is the author of refeeds. He knows what He's
saying, right? He knows what he's doing. Because this is exactly
what this hikma is all about. You don't want to witness your own
spirituality, or else you ruin it. Okay, so let's close this section
by seeing maybe
luck or luck or even maybe second you can go he
he has a different
matter. So
Let's see what he says here.
Okay the hearts of those who are blessed with divine proximity and
divine presence are radiant with a new innumerable rays of invocation
worship. Okay?
Just hit all the buttons at once something's going to work.
Their hearts are illumined with the celestial rays. However Allah
Messiah has concealed the illuminated states of the heart,
their hearts with dense veils of materialism, like eating,
drinking, walking, sitting happy, Walmart says it's all the time,
the idea of Allah whose hearts are constantly receiving nor how, how
does Allah protect them?
From how does Allah protect them from being abused? If you see one
of them these earlier? How can you abuse it? If you know his drive is
Mr. Jab, you will go to him right away, and you'll know him right
away. Okay, and Allah will not know who's sincere with him and
who's not. So the people whose hearts are receiving the newer all
the time and they're the Elia that Allah makes them have all the
worldly features. Like he's a regular guy, you see a regular guy
or a regular woman, you don't see you don't perceive that he's a man
of Allah. If every person of Allah azza wa jal, there are no it was
apparent upon them, there will be no problems. We will know who they
are, we would bring them forth, we would take advice from them, we'd
ask them to and we wouldn't have problems, right? We're all be
guided. But Allah azza wa jal needs to test their sincerity and
protect us from just misusing them. Okay? And to protect to make
sure their companions are sincere. So he makes them look like
everyone else. Okay. Have you almost always says they're
outward? Okay, is just a regular man. HE COUGHS he sneezes, he
makes mistakes. He stutters he enjoys matters of the dunya he
eats. So you think he's just a regular guy? Okay.
Okay, I think he's just a regular guy. But in the sight of Allah,
what He ever he wants, Allah grants him at every moment, Allah
is calling him to him. Okay, at every moment, Allah is making him
turn back to him and the question you mentioned in the beginning?
Yes, okay. So the way is, it's not that you look, you think, when you
are in Halawa for some time period or Auslan, como, you're working,
you're putting in effort. And sometimes you strive hard.
And you don't know if you're receiving any benefit or not. But
sometimes you do. And the test is that you should not witness
yourself. And you should keep your goal in your bed and not start
thinking of what am I experienced? What am I experiencing? Or what
was happening to me? Right? Once our mind goes to what's happening
to ourselves, really, we locked we've been almost tricked.
Right? We should only focus on our goal, okay? And what we enjoy,
have our a bad, let it come naturally, and let it not be
something we're conscious of. Okay? Just like for example, I'll
give you another metaphor of common common, daily life in all
of our jobs, right? We're working hard. Sometimes, you can work for
four or five, six hours straight, without realizing the time is
passing. But when
is that over? When I realized, Oh, well, I've been working for four
or five hours straight. Immediately. Now my attention has
been diverted from the object to myself. This is what we should
avoid.
Alright, so we should quote unquote, be in the zone, we want
to be in the zone. And we never want to be thinking of ourselves
in the zone. If you are thinking of yourself in the zone, you're
not in the zone. The Zone means your mind is not on yourself at
all. It's on the object of your goal.
Remember that? Don't know if Allah is accepting
whatever,
that itself is a bad. Yeah.
We should not we should never be
assuming that our I bet is accepted. externally. He has made
them to resemble the masses, by their indulgence in worldly
activities. Okay.
When you want to meet a family, you're not going to meet someone
who's just
up out of a cave. You're gonna meet a person, right? Who has a
job who has a life who has issues who has everything else. But
something he doesn't private or some way of thinking he has or
some intention he has makes him different from everyone else.
Abu Bakr Siddiq, the prophesy centum said he did not do more
Salah and more Psalm, the new, he didn't save Salah and same psalm
as everyone else. What's different between him and you something
between him and Allah that you don't see. Sir, when we say the
word sere, it means something you don't see something that's in the
equation that you don't see.
That's the difference between the earlier of Allah and the masses is
indiscernible. Unlike the Allah map, the old Ummah and the Johal
are known. You know who's a scholar, and who's ignorant. The
moment he opens his mouth say now he says, the man a moment a man
opens his mouth I know if he knows or he doesn't know. Okay? That's
the difference between all Emma and and the people is known, but
the earlier and the people is unknown. These external worldly
states act like thick veils that can conceal the celestial and
internal illumination of Allah's friends from the eyes of men, but
those whose spiritual gaze is sharp, those who who understand
the ways of Allah azza wa jal and understand what brings someone
close to Allah and what doesn't understand a class those who
understand a class okay.
They can see past these externals and the Joe * don't see past
the externals and amongst the ones who knew was olive in Avatar had
even ever thought him would know immediately if truly someone was
just Jani, a regular man, or sometimes he knew Allah sending
him a Melech. Angel to test him. Okay. Let's take a note he want to
see another one of these examples in the kids movies.
Beauty in the beasts,
old lady, right? comes up to the door of the guy of the prints. And
what's her image? Just like a beggar. But in fact, she's a
sorceress, right? So a lot of times Allah sends us a test from
someone, okay, who we would naturally put away. We would
naturally reject robot ash. Law up some Allah Allah, Allah Allah
Allah Who customer.
A prophet I set him said there can be a man who is dusty and poor. He
knocks on people's doors, okay.
But the people reject him. He has no value to the people. Low XML
Allah Allah but Allah customer, what does that mean? It means if
he tells Allah what to do, not if he asks Allah, He tells Allah what
to do. Oh Allah, Allah, you're doing this. Like what do you tell
your kids will Allah who you're going to clean your room? Okay. XM
two alike. That means you most definitely are going to do this or
you have no choice. Okay? Can you do this with Allah? You can talk
like this to Allah. But the prophets I sent him says some
people they can and Allah will give them what they want. Okay.
And one of them is Bara urbanism
al Bara urbanism men were in Baroque urbanism lemon home, okay,
but even as it was one of them, but even as it was a skinny and
poor man, okay.
And he does not have any qualification, not knowledge, not
fighting, not administration, not money, no qualification that makes
him unique. In fact, he's less, he's not handsome. He was a
beggar, and used to beg from the people. Okay? He used to beg from
the people. But the prophet then made this statement about him. And
when the Prophet made this statement about him Sahaba began
to use him. So they used to say, oh, but we're trying to catch this
enemy. Make dua because Allah says if you do so, right, if you tell
Allah what to do, Allah will grant it to you. So he used to do this.
And they used to winning battle after battle after battle, until
finally but said, Oh, Allah take me away, because he knew it's
being abused. This is not meant to be like this. It's meant maybe if
you have a hope in someone, but to abuse right and just to cut
corners by say, Okay, I have a secret path now, though, like I
always get young people thinking to solve is a secret route to
things. One of the most common
request, brother I want to marry a girl but my mom doesn't like it so
please give me a vicar Is there a liquor? This is this matter is not
meant to be like secret potions that you can just get around
things okay? It's not meant to be like that so when it became like
that but even as it said, Oh Allah XM tonic make me a murderer and he
died in the battle because this matter is not meant to be for
tricks and secret paths and doing things like that. Okay, so Allah
has veiled these people for that reason, because if there was so
much no one on his face, you can go and get what you want for the
day from his job, but that's not how it is. Okay.
So that people they therefore echo the statement that a non Muslim
made to the Prophet you are but a man like us, right? You are but a
man like us, God. Allah has hidden the inner lights of his friends
his only up so that their honor, I think, well, he is different from
friend is a big difference right? From friend. There's some
similarities some difference. Friends are equals and we are not
equal with Allah. Right? So friends that their honor is
maintained. He has protected them from the disgrace of publicity.
Okay, also Why else did Allah hide many of the great Olia
okay, because if you are famous, you're going to be cursed.
Someone's gonna curse you. And if Allah curses those people, or if
they curse those, those Olia, they're in trouble. So Allah may
make a really famous for multiple reasons. So famous as a ruler, or
as a scholar. So if they curse, they hate him as a ruler. It's
different than hating him as as a man. Okay, so they may be spared a
little bit because he has, he's wearing two hats, the hats of a
Willie and the hats of a ruler. So they may be attacking him as a
ruler. Okay. Not as a man of Allah.
He has protected them from the if they're illuminated illuminated
state had become known to the general public than word of it
would be on the tongues of all and sundry mentioning in public even
the name of a modest Chase and beautiful lady, protected behind
her veil is just honorable unaccounted for high degree of
modesty and honor. This then is the similitude of the inner
illumination of the earlier concealed behind dense worldly
veils. Also, Allah has granted them sincerity and the people
around them, those who are known and famous, they don't know who
the real friends are anymore. This is a big problem actually. Okay,
if this system of concealment did not exist, these inner lights of
the only would have become fully manifest. The Radiant illumination
would have been predominated to such a degree that the external
material veils would disappear from even the physical vision of
worldly people. And we'll stop here some particle Lahoma behind
decrescendo under the stuff we're gonna Tubu like acid, then break
then we'll be back control
Smilla rahmanir rahim.
Subhana man Satara Cyril associa
below Hurun Berseria
well haha the other material via fee of hot no booty.
So Allah azza wa jal has hidden
the inner realities of holiness
by covering it with human nature,
so the Elia cough II sneeze, okay.
And so you don't know who's holy, no one knows who's holy. Okay,
because we all cough and sneeze and eat and laugh and drink and
get upset and get happy and, and all these things.
Well, Zahara, Amata Rubia. He is hot and OBEDIA and he has
manifested the glory of His Lordship
by the cover of our worship, so if you want to see the glory of Allah
azza wa jal, you look onto the aerial view of Mecca.
And see millions people prostrating at the same time. This
is the manifestation of the glory
of Allah's lordship.
Okay, but the holiness Oh, the holiness, one's holiness is
covered in the manifestation of humanity, your human nature. Two
points number
What's up clarification number one.
But even Malik is the one we were talking about. It's not but I've
been asked. In the previous one, it's brought even Malik, and the
battle in which the people kept asking him too many things. Was
the battle against any Mm
hmm. of Muslim al Qaeda,
the battle against Muslim al Khattab when the Sahaba could not
get through the gate. So then they asked, but urbanism and they kept,
he saw that they keep asking and asking. So he said, Oh, Allah, let
us break open the gate, and also take me as a murderer. So again,
that's the clarification that it was brought in Malik, the brother
of Ennis, even medic, the brother of innocent mother.
Yeah, I had said what I had been hazard.
But even as a business, a hobby who narrates the Hadith about the
Qibla change. Whenever you see the Hadith, they'll come to change.
The majority of them come from Brahman has, because he was the
man who was going around saying, oh people, the Qibla has changed
and they will change
in their prayer they change.
The meaning of this statement is similar to the Affer mentioned
observation, people are unaware
of the mysteries and subtleties that Allah Most High reveals to
his close servants.
The spiritual treasure is concealed from the gaze of the
public. The veils of physical attributes have been cast over the
spiritual lights. And so you have the hypocrites and those who are
awful. The Mona 14 and the half Helene.
They have a problem. They are easily bored by the simplicity of
Islam.
And Allah azza wa jal has made the deen simple
to be like a fire that burns away those who are insincere, the life
of a Muslim and he's a badass and his action are very simple. If you
want to enter into the valley of the sada when you're entering into
the valley of the humble,
you are entering into the valley of the humble, okay? And so Allah
azza wa jal has done this on purpose, you have to be patient.
Allah said to the Prophet himself, while severe enough sec, be
patient, make yourself patient. Now Nadine as the owner of the
home, because it will actually you read in order to make yourself
patient by the people calling Allah day and night seeking His
countenance. The people calling themselves day or night or is the
crowd at Fudger and the crowd at Asia and the crowd at Fudger in
Asia. This is not the most exciting group of people you're
going to find in the world. Okay. But this is the best group of
people that you will find fetcher and Aisha
belladati well as she in the early morning, and in the night was good
enough sick make yourself patient if you're not patient, force
yourself to be patient. Because when you enter the valley of the
worshippers, you're entering the Valley of very simple things.
masajid are very simple places. This is driving away them whenever
driving away the insincere Okay, and driving those away who love
the dunya the lovers of the dunya will never be residents of the
massage. They will never be residents of the massage. And when
they all residents of massage, they are not the residents of the
prayer in the massage. They're the residents of other activities that
happen to take place in the massage. There's a big difference
that we've been warned about. That come when Allah says that someone
whose heart is attached to the masjid. It doesn't necessarily
mean just his body likes to be in the masjid. It means specifically,
then in the karma for the prayer, specifically the prayers because
the prayer if you notice, you could do a lot of fun things in
the masjid, the prayer becomes the least exciting thing. Know when
Allah says when the prophesy centum said one of the seven who's
shaded under the shade of Allah Yama, Yama is Roger culpa, whom
Allah compelled massager, a man whose heart is attached to the
masjid. It doesn't mean the so many activities in the masjid. It
doesn't mean the Akiko, in which you can fill your stomach in the
masjid. The Amin parties, they eat parties, this is not attachment to
the massage and all those things could take place elsewhere and
have equal merit. People in a masjid or in a field is occupied
that either way, right? No difference. I eat party in a home
or in a masjid. Same thing, how it's still a party. But this when
the province I said it was talking about the masajid he's talking
about the Salah is
In the massage the prayer in the massage okay. This is the purpose
of the massage. So this is why
Allah azza wa jal has said how fertile Jana tubal mCherry
paradise is surrounded by things you do not like things you do not
like okay and the elderly are covered with their human nature,
okay?
Concealing these inner lights is an extremely marvelous act.
These lights are infinite in number and are such supreme
quality, that if a single spark appeared on Earth, than light of
the sun and the moon would become dull,
and the light of a single spark would permeate from east to west.
When we say the knower of Allah, it is a real thing, the knower of
Allah is a real thing. Okay. But it is hidden in the hearts of
people. No more of Allah never manifest outwardly. You will never
see a piece of note of Allah flying in the sky. If you did that
people would worship it and they would stop working and they would
stop every it would dim the light of the sun. And people will stop
doing everything but he's let it manifests in a couple of ways in
which he told us number one, C Mao homefield, Joshi, him and others
to dude, number one that Nora can be shining a little bit shining on
the face of a moment. Okay. And so someone could have a semblance
that there is something about their face that gives you that
gives you peace of mind when you look at him. Okay? And the
prophets I send them describe these earlier in a row. Look at
Allah. If they are seeing you think of Allah, you don't think of
dunya you have holy thoughts and the prophets I said them gave us
the three, the three signs that Nora has entered your heart. Okay.
Number one, you start losing interest in worldly matters. You
just don't know what happened. Not interested. You don't know what
happened. That means Nora came into your heart and cause you to
lose interest in worldly matters. Okay. Number two,
you become very interested
in other worldly matters. Okay.
Al Inaba to Ella, Donna clewd. You become yearning
and you become romanticizing and fantasizing people's moments of
death, why not because you love death, but because you love the
fact that they're going right. In Alberto Illa Darren holiday, what
is Inaba mean? Yearning for what Dr. Khaled his real interest is
the eternal life. Right? Well, I mean, let him about the nodes
and he starts preparing
to die
preparing for what is after death. So he starts thinking of all of
his matters with the prism that if I was to die today, would I want
this when I go on Yom Okayama what I want this what will I want on
Yom Okayama al amela, Lima Abaddon mode. Okay.
Elijah Fatman, Donald guru, Al inevitably legato collude. When
I'm in it, my brother notes, three things the prophets I send them
said, that are signs that Nora has entered art, let's say what are
some other signs that no one has entered the heart? We said the
ones seem at home he will do him. The node that shows on someone's
face
and Laham will push it off in at dunya. Covenant ACARA in the Quran
says they have good news in this life. Before the afterlife, that
means when you're doing good on the spiritual path, Allah azza wa
jal will send you some sign that you are doing good. Okay. And
amongst them is a royal Saudi hotset de la Raja Raja salah. Use
start seeing a vision. This is a sign that your belief is correct.
And some light is entering your heart. Okay.
Another sign is that
a province I sent him he gave us a job. Okay, and this guy says
Allahumma in NSL, Luca hubback. We asked you for your love. Okay, how
do we know if Allah loves us? Well help them when you have a book.
That people who are close to Allah begin to love you. And you begin
to love them. The sign of Allah's loving a servant is that he begins
to love saw the hand and the side of him begin to love him.
A sign that you're halfway there is that you love righteous people,
but they don't want to be around you. You're still a negative
force, your negative influence. They don't really want to be
around you too much. They'll give you up. They'll be nice to you.
And that's it. But they don't really want to be around you
because you negatively influence them.
But you're halfway
way there if you want to be around them. Next is will help them and
your handbook means between both of you love two ways that they the
people who are close to Allah truly love to be around you. This
means that you've really completed the bulk of the matter, right?
You've completed the bulk of the matter because now not only are
you well meaning well intentioned, you've also achieved something of
goodness that the people of Allah they want to be next to you so
that they could benefit. Okay, this is another one. Well, I hope
the Coulee amillennial Caribbean or a lake or your Caribbean or
Illa haubrich And now you start to love the deeds,
the deeds. So a person he's tired he's to work, he loves Allah but
he also he really doesn't love certain things in the Sharia law
yo Minowa hydrocone
Hakuna Hawa Huzzah. Ali magic to the prophets I send them said you
have not completed the matter. Your Eman is still incomplete.
Until you passionately love what I have brought. Not rationally love.
There's two types of love. According to the automat,
intellectual love, hobo Bulacan will help who will help. And how
what will happen is
that you love let's say, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, because you know that you have to love him. Number one, you
know that you in your mind, you should truly love Him. So you put
him number one in realm of obedience over all other humans.
So this is what how Google aka love with the intellect. But how
mobile however, is natural love. Like naturally you love the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and so it flows from you
and all the manifestations right? This love flows from you
naturally. Okay, so in this hadith, the prophets I send him
this dua, he made us pray and told us to pray to love passionately
everything the Prophet brought now.
In other words, everything that Prophet bought as a quarterback,
because there are some things we love with our intellect, but not
with our passion. Like what, like Hadoop punishments? Yes, I believe
in that but I don't love it. The Prophet told us not to love it. He
said do not hope to to bring it or do it on a Muslim try to avoid it
in any way, shape and form. Okay, we love a lot of things that are
difficult. We may love the concept of fighting face to be the love
but the prophets I seldom told us letter to Manola do not seek to
meet the enemy. In other words, try to broker something first. Try
to broker and arrangement before you have to fight. But what we're
talking about here is a guy that said I was gonna Quran Salah
Soames, aka Hajj, but it was a day in being good to your spouse,
being good to your kids, being good to your neighbors, being good
to your elders, being compassionate to the young that
you passionately love these things that you would never struggle to
do these things. You love these things on your own, that none of
this is a struggle, say not even every thought was asked what is
the greatest deed? And he gave the best answer. He said the best deed
that you can do is the deed that you disliked the most. Until you
like it. So what did should I do? Say that it was asked? Do the one
that you hate the most? And when should I stop doing it until you
like, right? So if you don't like it, do it until you come to like
it. Because you are like a statue.
Like the statue and you are incomplete. Until you love
everything that Prophet brought with brought with him. You're
incomplete. And it's like, okay, but you're a statue with a block
instead of a nose. You don't have a nose. You need to choose to
chisel chisel work at it until there's a nose there. And now
you're you have a nose. Just like someone who doesn't like fasting.
I don't like fasting. I like reading Quran but I don't like
fast and let's say hypothetical. What do you do? Unless you're
physically ill. You make yourself fast until you love it.
Right then when you fast you'll be one of the Saudi mean, okay until
you love it. I like everything but I don't like parting with my
money. Then at this point, you're to hedge it as meaning
everything's meaningless until you love to give sadaqa All right. So
this is letting me know I have had a corner however whatever I need
magic to be okay. And this is how we know okay, that we are moving
to Allah azza wa jal that you look, look at the Hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Sahabi asked him, How do I
measure myself? How do I measure myself?
So the prophets I set him said, K for us, but how do you wake up?
How do you find yourself? He said I love sadaqa I love him. I love
This I love, I love this. And I love this and I love this. The
prophets I send him said stay like that.
Notice that he's not even saying I'm doing this, I'm doing this I'm
doing. He's not saying that it's more important that you love these
things. Because the true one who truly loves will end up doing it.
Right, and the one who's doing it is not necessarily that he loves
it, or that he will continue doing it, or that Allah will accept it.
If you love an action.
If you love an action, you will either do it, if you're not doing
it, if you're already doing it, you'll continue doing it. And
you've been doing it consistently that Allah will accept it from
you. Okay. Even audibly
was learning and he was very spiritually advanced, but he was
still learning the deen.
He hated the concept that he would have to get married, because he
loved his solitude and his freedom. Until he read a hadith in
which the prophets I said him said, Whoever does not marry is
not one of us. And the meaning of this is not that if you don't
marry, you're not a Muslim. It is that if you think there is a
better path than marriage, then you're not one of us. Right? If
you think that there's a better path. So like, Ibrahim, I don't
know if he got married. We have many scholars in my marriage. No,
we never got married. But why is that accepted? It's accepted
because he didn't believe this was better. It just so happened that
you never married. Okay. Never had time to marry. Okay. This is like
being a vegetarian. It's sinful. At the Akita level, if you believe
vegetarianism is better, that it's immoral to kill a lamb.
If you think it's immoral to kill a lamb, you've entered the realm
of Arpita Do you think your morals are better than the profits?
Right? That's a problem. But if you don't eat lamb, because you
think personally for yourself, your your situation will be
adversely affected. This is accepted. totally acceptable,
right? Or you don't eat meat because you don't like the taste
of it in your mouth. totally acceptable. Okay, but you did not
believe that it's immoral to kill a lamb. Okay, this is the
difference. Okay.
Even Oribi also understood how things worked. And he said, Do not
ask for Tofik to make a lot of vicar. Ask to love the
asked to love that. Because the one who loves liquor, he's going
to
attain every benefit of liquor. But if you're just doing a lot of
liquor, and not loving it, it's not the same. It's not the same.
The last paragraph there he says his power in is indeed wonderful
and marvelous.
When he desires to display the greatness and splendor of His
Lordship to his servants, than he does so by revealing the effects
of servitude servanthood.
The effects of servanthood are those states of the servants that
draw their attention to Allah Most High, such states are sickness,
poverty, hardship. When the servant is afflicted with these
conditions, he is compelled to turn towards his Creator, He
supplicates for the removal of the hardship and humbles himself. In
such circumstances, he develops firmness and faith and understands
well, that he most certainly is a creator, has a creator who is all
powerful. In the absence of these effects. The greatness of Allah
would not have become manifest for His servants, because they will be
perpetually dwelling in their personal whims and fancies. The
servants of Allah would then have been deprived of this inner
knowledge summary. The summary is, if Allah leaves you to be happy
and secure all the time, you'll never truly mean know what it
means to have a Lord until you are in need.
If you are happy and secure all the time, why would you ever make
dua
okay, you rely upon yourself you will rely upon your own
your own strength, but Allah when he wants to make himself known to
you, he causes you to have a need, and then you have to turn to Him.
Now you start to understand what religion is what Allahu Allah is,
what Abu DIA is, right now you start to understand, and this is
why the LDS, I believe we talked about this earlier. Like one or
two classes ago. The Elliott they view comfort with suspicion, they
view comfort as if it's an insult to them, that why is Allah azza wa
jal not forcing me to him
Okay, is he suffice filling my mouth so that I don't pray to Him?
And when trials come to them, it's a feast because now they're being
forced, okay? They're being forced into it into. They have no choice
now except to get on their knees and dua, and the DUA that comes
from yourself. Okay. From yourself is more beloved to Allah. But the
DUA that comes because you're in trouble is more pure in the sight
of Allah. That's the difference. Both are good. So we're not a
religion that says, the poor advanced spiritually, and the
rich, don't advanced spiritually. We're not a religion that says
that, right? We say that a bad that you don't have to do, like
you're not in trouble. I'm not sick, I'm not in debt, everything
is fine. But you make yourself give a strong dua in the sight of
Allah, this is most beloved. But when you are truly sick, okay, and
truly oppressed and truly in need, that dua is more pure. So one is
more pure, and one is more beloved with the colon. And all of it is
good. One time
a contemporary Schiff was in Cairo. He's not from Egypt, but he
was in Cairo. And he asked around and he said, Where are the great
people of Allah? And they gave him the names of three men. So he
wants to the first man and he found that he's sitting in the
corner of the Hussein mosque every day making thicker old men. So he
went and sat with him a little bit made and do some thicker with him,
it may draw for him and he left. Then the next man he came, he was
the imam in a in an old Masjid.
Even I mean an old masjid, right, getting no respect, just people
pray and leave and no one talks to him or looks at him. Okay. So he
sat with him and benefited from him. Now the third man, he went to
the address, and he found a castle.
And he found servants running back and forth. So he got surprised.
Then he went, and he said,
he sat down and a servant came to him and said, What would you like
to eat? Okay.
And the person next to him said, I want a sandwich from such and such
a restaurant, very expensive. Right? And they went and got it.
So these people have money, let's no end to it. Then the chef came
out in the finest clothes and in a trimmed beard.
So this the narrator to the story told us, I started having my
doubts, that this is not a real shame. This is not a real well,
he, he may be he said he inherited the Toluca from his grandfather's.
So like his grandfather had the 30 A gun then he just inherited it is
not a real shame. Not a real wedding. So we sat with him
finished the gathering in the gathering. Some ministers came and
it was a gathering of dunya just people were talking about the
dunya. Okay, so he just left and he was unimpressed.
Then he arrived at
he was at the airport. And he's and he realized his bag is too
heavy. His bag is too heavy. He said, Oh Allah. If this man is a
truly aware Li, then let them pass my bag, let my bag pass. Right the
weight limit? Because he didn't want to pay.
Okay. So he gets there and he gives him the bag. And the weight
is clearly right there. Okay. Okay, clearly right there. The
lady got too busy. She didn't look at it. She just moved the back.
Okay. So you said Subhan Allah. Right? Me he is already after all.
Then they said so and so please come to the Czech counter. He's,
they caught it. The guy lifted it. He said way this again. He figured
he got it. They got up there. He got up there and they said,
there's been a bit of a misunderstanding. Actually,
there's no room in for your seat. So we had to bump you up to first
class.
So he said really? He's a wedding. Okay, he's not as already a big
worry too. So Subhanallah
These are sometimes the veil is not just his irregular man that
coughs and is poor. No, if that's the case, then you start expecting
it right? Then you start hoping and looking at see if this guy's a
little rough around the edges and poor that maybe he's already know,
Allah knows that you'll be on to that too. Sometimes they're very
rich, and they're driving then luxury and living in luxury. This
too, can be a veil from people who think they figured it out. Right
sometimes they do this people young marines
Since up, they think they figured it out. They look around for any
small, humble person looking, like ignored. And they run to him and
see maybe he's one of the earlier. It's not as soon as you think you
got it, Allah will find you something and show you that, you
know, we don't know we're saying right we don't know this is not a
game that you can just figure out. So Allah can bring us from the
elites and the rich, who are surrounded by dunya. And why
should we be surprised? When often men have not Fenn was like this
rich and elite and surrounded by worldly people, but he's one of
the kebab of the Sahaba and Sahaba. The least of them is
greater than any other Wali. This is our belief in Addison or Gemma,
the lease of the Sahaba is greater than any other Muslim.
Enough to was extremely wealthy.
Subhana MALAMI edge Delila Olia E, il M and high fidelity, la. This
is beautiful, Willem you will still in a in a lemon or a new
seller who in a. Okay, all of this what we're saying now, do the Olia
look like this? Do they look like that? You're gonna go look for the
most humble person in the gathering. Right? You're gonna get
that look for someone who's talking about this, someone who's
making they know. Allah azza wa jal in this hikmah. He tells us
the only one factor that will help you find a Willie is when you're
not looking for what he you're looking for Allah.
That is the time you will cross paths with the idea. This isn't
some kind of again, this isn't some kind of a trivia. This should
never be trivialized. Right. Only when you are sincerely seeking
Allah azza wa jal that Olia will appear to you. Okay. And the Elia
will not appear to you, except that Allah wants goodness for you.
He wants goodness for you.
And if Allah azza wa jal is testing you.
And someone is a not a good man.
And he's with Elia. What will happen Soph. So you're sort of he
will be turned away, at some point or other, he will be turned away.
And this happens all the time. Great salah, surrounded by some
people, one of them might be a wolf, horrible person. Right?
Mark, watch him. Either he will repent and change or use rough, he
will be made busy with something else. There is a man
that there's a chef that we know. And we started with, okay. And he
has a cousin. This cousin is just a bad man, miserable, corrupt man.
And the chef, because it's a small family, he had to give him a job.
So he works for the chef. He is responsible for the students of
the chef, right? Like they're living, how much food to order,
who's taking what classes, he's responsible for this? And the
people everyone hate him. He is so corrupt. Okay, so corrupt. And
people said, Oh, why is the sheikh have in there? Right? Well, it's
hundreds, like, is his cousin, he's gotta give him a job. Right?
And the shape. He's like that he's soft with the people.
But people started wondering, he's with the sheikh all the time. He's
giving him updates all the time. He's discussing curriculum all the
time. How is it that such a corrupt man is in the inner circle
of the shadow?
Then finally, one student of knowledge, he gave us the answer,
one of the seniors. He said, We all know what you feel. But
physically being in the circle, and working in the administration
of the sheiks organization is not being in the circle of the show.
Because this man, he's in all of these meetings. He's not in one
single dose. He's not in one single dose. Right. So when we
talk about being in the company of the sada Hain and the Olia It is
not by physically working with them and being with them. It's by
benefiting from them. It's by being in which company, the
company of the chef as director of the school, the company of the
chef, as the head of the company, no, or the company have the chef
as his consultant, or his liaison between him and the government or
him in the media. No, anyone can do that job. The company of the
chef needs to be benefiting from his teachings and to be acting
upon it. And many people get fooled thinking oh, I'm with the
machete, you're with them as what? As their driver, their liaison as
what you're not benefiting from them. The key is to benefit from
them. Right
not the guy who uploads his lectures, not the guy who is you
know, organizing, know that you could be both. But if you're just
that, then that's all you are. He could hire and bring. Yeah, who
did you do that job better than you right there, it's the job. The
true company of the machine means that we are benefiting from them.
And as even I thought says this earlier, this matter Elia is not a
triviality that you could just go looking for them like it's a
Where's Waldo. It is for fun. Allah at that point will value
from it, you will not see any of them. But he says here, the only
way that you will see the people of Allah is when you're seeking
Allah azza wa jal himself, yes.
Do release themselves know that their beliefs or they they get
signs from Allah or Imam and no, we discuss this matter. Mm hmm.
No, we discussed this matter. And he said the answer is yes. And no,
he can know and he may not know. Like, what's the what's the
biggest example? Who knows? The most obvious example of this
is one of them. more obvious and all this? Didn't the province I
suddenly named people as people of paradise and isn't a man of
paradise. I will lead.
Right? So the province I sell him names people didn't say Bill and I
hear your footsteps in paradise with what did you do this? Didn't
he said I saw a woman a beautiful woman in paradise. So I was
looking, but I realized she's entering the home of Alma Mater,
hottub in paradise. So I know that Omar has jealousy so I looked
away. So Omar has a home in paradise. Okay, so sad him and
Abby walk across. He is granted paradise as well as all of the
wives of the Prophet and Hassan and Hussein. They did not even do
anything.
They hadn't even reached puberty.
They were children running around and Allah prophesized them said
they are the chiefs of paradise, right? chiefs of the youth of
paradise. Okay. So now the question is the some of the
automat now have excellent discussion on this. They said,
Okay. Some said no. Because if he knows that he'll stop having
feared.
They said, No, no, he said, No. He said, Yes, they may stop having
some fear, but it will not change their action, because they will
have a higher motivation to keep up the same manners which is sugar
and hemorrhage and embarrassment from Allah and Seamus Hyak shyness
from Allah, that Allah has been so generous to me, and I'm going to
now go sin no. Right. So they will they yes, they may not have the
same fear as someone who fears like I'm going to help tomorrow,
right.
But they will have other motivations that keep them doing
the same behavior. And now we also says they will create fear in
themselves by remembering, that will bucket a statement. If I had
the right foot in paradise and my left foot is not in I would still
know that there could be a trick.
Right, the marker of Allah azza wa jal and abdomen macrophylla a
cover to feel secure from the plan and the test of Allah is a trick
is a cover. We're never someone who is overly will not have a
false sense of security, he will know a bliss also was in Jannah.
Right? So you can lose it yet you are given this today, you don't
know what's gonna happen tomorrow. Right? So you don't know what's
gonna happen tomorrow. And you should never rely upon anything.
That's a promise okay. So the answer is yes, while he may be
shown this, he may see me he may be seen or by seen by others. Now,
to give you some examples, if you see a man in the shape of a
mountain, this is Wilaya. If you see a man in a white turban, this
is Wilaya. If you see a man praying behind our Li, this is
what a small form of hula, all of these beautiful things are
earlier, if you see the man in the form of a rabbi, right? This is a
form of Wilaya because
imagine if you see someone dressed like a rabbi, why because Allah
says in the Quran, who in who dinner Lake, right? And yeah, who
would means penitent to work? So even sitting says that someone who
sees himself or see someone else dressed as a rabbi, this two means
good, a good thing, not a bad thing. And the dreams are
different types for different types, according to Abdullah and
NWC, one of them is opposites.
They're opposites, right? So to be a rabbi is a bad thing. That means
you have COFRA, vice and Muhammad, but no in this sense, it means the
literal word of your hood, or I have made pentik Toba. This is
what that word means. We'll call in who dinner like we have made
Toba to you. Okay, so there are opposites so
Some dreams are opposites and some are as they are. Okay? So
these are all ways in which someone can know that someone is
ready or otherwise but the Will he will never have as me know we
said, the Sahaba are the first people they were granted paradise,
but also that he will never have a false sense of security, aluminum
and Mercury Allah. And this is a higher fear than the fear of
someone who has committed a sin and is afraid of going to *.
Why is that? Because if you have fear of Allah, because you believe
you should have fear of Allah, then you will always have fear of
Allah. But if you have fear of Allah just because you committed a
sin the previous night, as soon as you make Hajj or Toba and you
don't commit that sin anymore, you might stop having fear. So it's a
higher order of fear and fear of Allah azza wa jal okay
so this is
okay is there
it's almost five o'clock. So we should actually stop at this
chapter and take your questions and answers.
The rule, the gem of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam should
be considered a type of sign as well, Willow, and Wilaya is many
ranks. It's not just all one rank. The ranks of Wilaya are like the
differences between people, right? All different ranks.
Yes.
We're not granted.
Yes, there are times in which the driver will not be granted yet.
There are such times such as well, unless we take all this stuff from
delete nothing is from talk from the HELOC or the whims This isn't
any different from any other science of the shittier. A couple
of times the dua of a weenie may be delayed or not accepted. Number
one, if he's making a dua for a thing and Allah azza wa jal has a
better thing planned. Number two, if his dua if Allah prefers to
give him a reward on Yamo tianma, then answer his dua here. Number
three, if he is amongst a people who have earned the Wrath of Allah
azza wa jal, then he cannot by himself push it away, such as one
such as a people who did not come in the right or forbid the wrong
and we know the prophesy centum said, If you do not come in the
right and forbid the wrong that Allah will put, bring down a
punishment upon you and will not listen to the draw of the best of
you. Okay, so no one number four, if Allah Allah so if a dwelley is
making a dua for a specific thing, but Allah has caused that is upon
something else, right? Then Allah was cutter will override his dua.
Okay. Now why is it that some people, when they say there are
two types of people whose dua is always answered one person, he has
such a high level of math F of Allah that Allah we just said,
like, but even Malik, Allah never turns down the specific thing that
he says. And this is very rare.
Right, is from the key bar only. The other class of people are
those who are knowledgeable in their dua so that they only asked
for things that Allah has promised in the first place. Right? They
only ask for what is promised in the first place. Another type of
dua of people who have a colleague who cannot be might not be
answered is when he makes a dua out of edit for someone, right?
out of edit for someone, someone comes to him and he sees all the
signs of that this person has done everything to earn failure, not
success, but they're saying make dua for me. You're not gonna say
no, right? Actually, some of them said no. Right? Some of them said
no.
One of them said,
I have a have a
situation of poverty. Okay. I have a situation I'm poor, I need work.
He says, Okay.
We make dua for me. He said, No, when you get up and seek
employment, I'll make the right for you. But while you're sitting
here, and I make the offer, why did he say no? How could you say
no, do ah, because if he made to offer him, it would increase him
in the feeling that he could just sit there. So to teach him a
lesson. He said, No, I'm not making dua for you until you get
up and put an effort then I'll make dua for you, right. So this
happens. Yes.
The repairs are inherited.
Sometimes the inheritors they are not.
There they are
So in this the 30, because today you have in the past, you have 30
plus, now you have organizations, right?
So Nuka is a far more refined and powerful organization than simply
any organization, right? But the thorough is that a chef comes, he
has worried they formalize it, and he passes it down to his son, or
he passes it down to his son in law, or he passes it down to one,
really, he should pass it down to a most qualified if there's none,
he passes down to his son. So at this point, the son becomes an
admin,
an administrator, and hopefully from the GEMA, a natural shake
will rise. Right? So he becomes more of admin. And unfortunately,
when you institutionalize spirituality, a lot of times good
and bad happen. So that's, that's more of a sociological discussion.
Yes.
Where there's
lots of practical, practical,
a practical way to apply is to make
a slice of time during some portion of the day to devote to
that, right. Yeah, to devote to number one recitation of Quran
number two, the Quran salah upon the Prophet number three, reading
the words of the Alia and
the iodsa that have contemporarily. Nobody does not
have 15 minutes in the day.
Right, and they say 35 minutes is excellent. And what is above that
is more excellent. But 30. And what is consistent is the most
excellent. So 35 minutes every day, or is far better than two
hours once a week. Okay, so what is most consistent, and that
nobody doesn't have 15 minutes a day.
I'm telling you, this is why the biggest win of shaytaan. And I'm
telling you Eman and spirituality has just taken a nosedive since
the last decade because of the ability of technology to keep you
distracted. I'm telling you, everything has taken a nosedive.
Technology is really affecting people in a negative way.
If we don't control this snake in us, we have to control the snake.
Yes.
So
about a student? Yeah,
exactly. They can uh, what does that mean? You know, good
question, because I am thinking.
Good question. The question comes, if we said that Nora in the heart
causes loss of interest in the dunya, wouldn't we all be
unemployed, and we won't develop science and we don't develop
technology, and we won't develop anything, and then we'll be
conquered, right? Common sense says that this is the one who
hasn't understood. This is the freshman understanding of the
matter.
Because the there's a very subtle difference between not living for
dunya and not doing dunya. Right.
We don't live for it. And we don't worship it.
Such that we put everything in its place, the sign that we're doing
it incorrectly, is that we have imbalance.
Or that we're doing something haram for the sake of our dunya.
But when we live and we don't love the dunya, we still do the dunya
for a different motivation. So the action doesn't the action is
corrected, and the motivation is, is corrected. So the motivation
becomes a higher level of motivation than the ego. So when
we say we don't love the dunya, it means we're not seeking it for our
own knifes and our own ego, but we're seeking it, we're loving it,
or we're doing it for a higher purpose, a higher motivation. Such
a simple motivation as that's the way of life that's how life is you
have to do it. Just and what are we taught from this? We're taught
this by Djibouti Daraa. Salaam, he writes the Buraq Al Buraq is more
right. Barack is not a wild horse. He's not going to go off running.
Right? But Angel Jibreel tied the rope of Barack to the door of the
Jerusalem mosque, showing us this is the way of life. So sometimes
we do don't yet we have to do it. Right. You have to do it. And you
can like it, but control it. It should not take over your love
shall be your most number one most beloved thing
then we don't do that.
If you don't do the dunya Allah says Latin could be a de Camila
Taluk
Don't destroy yourselves. If you don't do it then you become poor.
Right? You become poor how you kids gonna go to school then you
become ignorant you lose everything then we should not be
poor. We should not so Wolf is not glorifying poverty and
unemployment and no work right and many people use it the opposite
way they use this to justify their unemployment and their failure in
life just because only ever question
we will get to
yes
no, the issue is no, you may have one avenue that opens for you.
However, you should not hate any other avenue. So, yes, it may be
that someone's working like Salahuddin a UB died with over
like 400 of Ramadan fasts do for him that he never did, because he
was traveling. So he didn't hardly fast because he's always
traveling.
But the question is not whether you do it, it's whether you love
it or hate it.
You will you're not going to if the question should be if you find
hatred of it.
It is it is not fathomable that you will find someone who hates an
obligation Allah put upon him or an act of a bed. He might not do
it. Like he mimetic didn't preach 100
and he ate lamb every day. And he always wore the finest clothes
when he's even a medic, right? Who said, If I sleep one night, and I
don't see the profit, I assume I'm gonna forget. So he sees the
profit every single night, he doesn't preach 100. Right. And
they what they used to see medic put a cloth a linen on the ground
and make prayer on it. They so they said, Isn't this the action
of Rafa here? Isn't this the action of the soft elite? He said,
No. Because I have soft skin. If I pray on the ground, I'm going to
have a mark and the people will think I'm a man of night prayer.
And I'm not I don't want them to think I do something that I don't
do. I admit that I'm not I don't do night prayer. But the question
is, does he hate my prayer? Of course, you love it. So the issue
is not whether you do it issues if you love it, and the matter should
be that Allah will open make something easy for you and make
something difficult for you. If you made it difficult, do your
minimum token and then move on what's easy for you? There was
another sister Sister question
concerning more about
like
not not just going to work or anything but not accepting things
that are not coming to you. That's true.
Motion? That's correct. Yeah. So one is not only covetousness it's
anger when we're denied. Anger upon denial is also a branch of
worldliness. You're not going to be upset, except about something
that you love. And this is why the Quran says Mikaela Tetsuo LMFT
article, while at the problematical, you're not going to
be so happy by dunya that you get. Likewise, you won't be so upset by
what you missed. And
a sign of loving something is being very upset when you miss it
when you don't have it. That's one of the signs
that comes from so
to Allah. The a bad that you do from yourself. In comfort in a
state of happiness is beloved more beloved to Allah azza wa jal
because it's coming from your own volition, but they're a bad but
even while you're doing so you may be distracted, you might be
thinking of something else, right? But the bad that you do that, that
you do when you are in deep trouble, is more pure, for sure.
is way more pure, because you're thinking of your troubles. You're
focused, you're far more pure,
of course, is loved. And it's more it's answered, but it's more pure,
is more pure.
Was there shahada, someone told me that there is someone coming to
take shahada right now or to learn of the deen is that person raise
your hand if they're here?
Anyone? Someone told me that someone's coming for Shahad or
something. Okay, who else has questions?
Her dude is the punishments
the legal punishments in Islam how
All right, next week, your question
there's a difference such liquor should be extra liquor. But if you
have a word that you do formally daily, you should do that, as much
as best as you can. In a state of silence, however, the rule is, all
liquor is accepted,
except liquor in the bathroom. Of course, liquor in all states is
accepted, but it's a degree of the value of that vicar can go up and
down based on our Hadoop which is focus. So, all the code is
accepted and beneficial and valuable. However, the Quran
should not be liquor that is engaged in while talking, you can
put the Quran and be talking but the Quran should there should be
no talking. You know, it was the order the talking should be put to
a minimum
