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.
