Sulaiman Moola – Spiritual Ecstasy

			Bismillah he was Salatu was Salam. ala rasulillah salam wa alayhi wa sallam were bad. We live in a
world where everybody is seeking instant excitement, happiness, exhilaration, adrenaline rush. And
that is why people resort to different things. Those that are into exercises, cycling, walking,
jogging, running, they talk about especially, you know, heart related exercises, cardiovascular
exercises, that as you intensify in these exercise, then the body releases endorphins, which has
this analgesic effect like a painkiller, and it is soothing. And it gives you a sense of ecstasy and
joy and comfort and soothing, and so on and so forth. And that's the world in which we live. People
		

			who pop these ecstasy recreational drugs youth will tell you, it gives me a feeling I feel light, I
feel easy, I feel good. Sadly, and tragically, and most unfortunately, we've been only exposed to
this fake apparent soup and superficial forms of happiness and joy. And unfortunately, we have not
tasted the real pleasure of obedience. So there is this fake pleasure in disobedience. And if there
wasn't fake pleasure in Rome, in your gaze, and in indulging in clubbing and partying and drinking
and and debauchery, then nobody would have perpetrated these offenses. So there is a sense of
outward apparent pleasure. But today I want to speak about the spiritual pleasure that the body is
		

			derived in obeying Allah subhanho wa Taala. It's just unique. It's just amazing. For many of us,
it's like, okay, it's the first time I'm hearing the spiritual pleasure. You know what, there is a
kind of excitement in hoarding your wealth and counting your wealth, but there is indifferent
pleasure in spending your wealth. We've been exposed to the first we haven't tasted the second.
There is a fake thrill in roaming your gaze, but there is a spiritual meaning in restraining your
gaze. There is a big difference between the two. What is that Raphael someone said very beautiful in
the Arabic language. And hello Laney feelingly him Aled Zhu min La La Villa William Wow, this is so
		

			profound. And to label those who stand up in the dead of night and disturb their sleep. So this
looks challenging. This looks cumbersome, this cannot be so easy. You deep in your sleep you tucked
in your blanket, you you know in your
		

			lovely bed with your spouse in a warm setting. And it's so cozy and so comfortable to move from your
bed as the Quran says that that Jaffa Joe home that that Jaffa Juno boom, bah, bah, bah, boo boo boo
boom, that they stand up, they separate from their beds, and then they engage in prayer and they
have this prolong the prostration they have this prolong the prostration Hello li li li li him the
spiritual ecstasy. The pious derive in conversing with Allah is far more wholesome and meaningful
than the fake pleasure the sinners derive when they indulgence and
		

			among Shafi Rahim Allah in one of his amazing couplets, he encapsulates the sentiments of how rich
and fulfilling the meanings of worship and studying Deen is versus the fake and superficial pleasure
that a person gets in indulgent and Roman his ego and indulging in certain advice and this is a real
expression Subhan Allah, He says, sir Harry leeton ki Hill rulu me, lm Li Min was Sonny Rania tin
Watley, bi knotty This is just too profound. So let me try and simplify it so hurry to stay awake

that divine pleasure where you get into saddam and your head is riveted and you just cannot raise
your head. You hold the Quran and you just cannot close it. You start spending and you just cannot
hold back. You start serving someone and you just become selfless like and
		

			Fortunately, we just don't enjoy this. We just have not experienced it. So he said, staying awake by
night to study the text for me is more meaningful, more wholesome, more attractive, more palatable
mean. Sadie and Ethan King Rumi, I let Dhoni mean was silly Rania. Wow, Rania, in Arabic the plural
is gone er, it means a woman who's independent of any form of makeup. So she's so beautiful. She's
naturally attractive. So she doesn't need to have any cosmetic effects. And I not is to embrace
Anika, you're an equal Monica. It gives me a greater flow, to stay awake by night, and study my
sciences, then to find a beautiful woman who's naturally beautiful. And I am offered a romantic
		

			meeting, a tourist as they would say, a romantic meeting with her and then she embraces me and I
embrace her, for me to set up and study and understand the teachings and the tenets of Islam is more
meaningful, but it gets more intriguing and more riveting. And saying my brother, there might be
some fake pleasure and you know what any pleasure that is sinful, is is comes with a great degree of
guilt, a great degree of consequences repercussion implications, both on your health and on your
family life. And sin brings you to a dark end. It brings you to a dead end as those that sin in the
end it's the habit, but they themselves are tired. The mind is saying no, but the body is succumbing
		

			as the young men, the mind is saying I don't want to pop the pole, but he's taking a drive to the
drug lord, and he's buying what his mind is contradicting that's the level of addiction. So he goes

primitive times, that when they would want to extract the scent of fragrance from a pastor or from a
flower, then they would take that stone and it will make contact and they would rub and now imagine
this is your beloved. This is someone you fantasize someone you love. And she's sitting or he's
sitting and he's extracting fragrance, and he's applying that fragrance. That would be something
		

			that would obviously trigger trigger so much emotions, excitement, fantasy, infatuation over you so
more exciting than my beloved using a stone to extract scent. Right or fragrance and that sound more
attractive to me is the sound with which I write my word. Or sorry rock Allah May Allah subhanho wa
Taala Hello mina dhoka even our Sharpie will let me know in fact that he does not really Oh Rama,

pious enjoyed it. May Allah grant us a glimpse of it. He further says, a young woman, Fatah, a
beautiful woman, attractive woman, she's playing the drum or the temporary or she's playing the
		

			flute or she's playing a musical instrument. The woman is beautiful. Her voice is attractive. It's
seductive. She has a musical instrument. You can imagine the combination of beauty excitement that
this will evoke in a person, what allows them a natural further delay to feed her a young woman
playing a musical instrument more exciting, more exhilarating than that for me is not karelian

through which I remove that does that sound for me is more soothing? It's more therapeutic. It's
		

			more comforting or Tamayo, a paraben Mahalia when sudden fifth Darcy Ayesha, Madame matassa T. And
finally, when I resolve a complex issue, then I sway with euphoria, jubilation and excitement. And
