Suhaib Webb – Living for Allah- The Path of True Obedience

			That's why there's a narration of the Hadith
		

			of Jibreel
		

			where the prophet said, you know, to worship
		

			Allah, though you see him, even though you
		

			can't see him, you know, he sees you.
		

			There's another narration,
		

			to act for God as though you see
		

			God,
		

			to refrain
		

			as though you see Allah.
		

			So to be mindful of Allah is to
		

			observe him in all situations. The other thing
		

			that makes this important
		

			is that now I'm not calling some kind
		

			of cool, like, you know, I feel so
		

			awesome, dude, like super spiritual man. I ain't
		

			prayed in like 45 years, but, man, my
		

			house is, like, amazing. My inner state is
		

			just, like, wow. Man, this ain't a trip
		

			to the dispensary, man.
		

			This is worship.
		

			Nobody can feel greater than the prophet felt
		

			with his Lord. Did he ever miss Salah?
		

			So we cannot separate
		

			the outer from the inner. That's why Imam
		

			That a faqih can live his life without
		

			but a
		

			sufi can never live life without a faqih
		

			because the faqih is telling them the outer
		

			wrong, right, wrong, right, wrong, right. So Imam
		

			Asuti Rahimohullah here in the very beginning, he
		

			marries
		

			the relationship between Sharia
		

			and Al Haqqiqah and Tazawaf. And at the
		

			end of the day, the final call goes
		

			to the Sharia. I am subservient
		

			to what Allah has commanded. It ain't about
		

			how I feel. It ain't Shirley MacLaine in
		

			the Santa Cruz Hills smoking weed.
