00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			So
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			we can give another opportunity
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25
			to read from
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			this work of
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			Siril Mahdi
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Adil Qadil 'Azilani,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			rahim Allahu wa rahmahirullah Anhu.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			So the Sublime Revelation
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			of Siri Adafatir Gilani,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			the renewer of wujahedid, or one of them
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			at least, of the 6th
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			century of hijra.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			So we have arrived at
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:56
			the 16th
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:58
			discourse,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:00
			and
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			this this course has a few themes within
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			it. One of them
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			is the relationship,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			which we'll be reading first, the first excerpt,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			of the believer with the Qur'an and with
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			the sunnah.
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			What are some of the,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			sort of, terbiyah
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:19
			aspects
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			that one should benefit from by reading the
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			Quran and
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26
			being acquainted and familiar with the sunnah of
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			our Prophet salAllahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:29
			And also
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:33
			talking about how to build, how to make
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:34
			what's called taimir,
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			in this life, in this dunya,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			He says, Qalal Hasilul Basri, Raheemu
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			Dunya Finna Wa Allahi
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			Latul Tiboo Illa Gadi iha Natiha.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			Only after has been treated with
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:10
			contempt.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			I think what he means by that, Allahu'ala,
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:15
			is that,
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			the believer should not let the delights and
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			the pleasures of the dunya
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			enter one's heart to the degree that it
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			then becomes the focus of their life,
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			the focus of their aspiration, the focus of
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			everything that they do
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			in life. Rather,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			this idea of ihana,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			means put it in its proper place. So
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:39
			contempt,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			kind of, is a shade,
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			an illustrative shade of the meaning of Ihana.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			But it can also mean put it in
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			its proper place. Lower it. Right? Because dunya
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			means the lowest
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			form of existence. So
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:00
			So it will not,
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			it will not acquire a pleasant odor or
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			have a pleasant fragrance until after you have
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			made this ihana
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			of the dunya. You put it in your
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			proper place. And then what should be in
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			its proper place as well?
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:17
			Al Uhhra
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:19
			and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:21
			So at the top should be Allah Subhanahu
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:23
			Wa Ta'ala. And then the akhira also has
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			its proper place, but it is higher than
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			the dunya, but lower than
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:29
			Then he says,
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:29
			Putting the Quran into practice
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			will make you familiar with the one who
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			sent it down. And practicing the sunnah will
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			make you familiar with the messenger our prophet
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:42
			Muhammad He is always around the hearts of
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			the Lord's people, ahlillah,
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			with his heart
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			and his spiritual
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:47
			aspiration.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			It is he who makes their hearts fragrant
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			with perfume and incense,
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			who purifies and beautifies their innermost meanings.
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:56
			It is He who opens up for them
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			the door of newness to the Lord. He
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			is the maidservant who repairs their attire and
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			mal Shudda. He is the ambassador of the
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:05
			Sefu between their hearts and inner beings and
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			their Lord. Whenever you take a step closer
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07
			to him,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:08
			his happiness
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			increases.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			So when we
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			look at our approach to Allah
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:24
			the door to Allah
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			is only 1 and that is our Prophet
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:29
			So if it was not for our Prophet
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31
			we would not know Allah, we would not
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			know the Quran,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			we would not know the sunnah, we would
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:35
			not know
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:36
			ourselves.
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:39
			And as a symptomatic, after
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:41
			they
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:42
			had finished bearing the prophet,
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			the day that he passed
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			or a few days later actually.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			He said we did not finish,
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:53
			bearing the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa sallam and
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			wipe the dirt
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:56
			off our hands
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			except that we no longer knew ourselves. And
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			in the iwaya,
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			another narration, we no longer knew our hearts.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			So,
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			it is the prophet
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			who is still amongst us. Wa'alamaanafiqum
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			Rasulullah. Know that the prophet is still amongst
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			you.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			And,
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			you know, the way that we recite the
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Qur'an, the meanings we derive out of the
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			Qur'an because the sunnah
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			is a,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			it's an explication. It's a shahr.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			So the ulama used to Imam al Sharha
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			used to say, I believe, that the sunnah
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:30
			explains the Quran
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			and the,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:37
			the 'amal of the mashaikh and the ulama
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			the works of the ulama and the scholars,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			that explains
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:44
			the sunnah. So it's all deen at the
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			end of the day.
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			So the the fallacious argument why don't you
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:49
			follow the Qur'an and sunnah? Why are you
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:50
			reading Abdul Qadr Gilani?
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:52
			And why are you reading,
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:55
			Iqnaw Ta'il the secondary? And why are you
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			reading Imam Al Ghazali? And why are you
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			reading Shafa Ayur Malik?
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			Is it the Quran on Sunnah enough? Is
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			a is a fallacious argument and a fallacious
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:06
			question to begin with because this is the
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			Quran on Sunnah. What do you think we're
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			doing? We are reading about the Quran and
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			Sunnah. We're living reading
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			about people who put the Quran and Sunnah
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			into practice,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			and they are our waseela. Right? They're a
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			way for us to know the Quran and
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			Sunnah, and most,
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			significantly for us to know the Prophet And
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			the Prophet said, alaykum bis sunnati was sunnatul
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			khalafa al Mahdiyeen
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:29
			mimbaadi.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			You follow the sunnah, my sunnah, and the
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36
			sunnah of my rightful khulafa, my rightful stewards
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:39
			and heirs after me. And that's not just
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:40
			the 4 khulafa,
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:44
			of Abu Bakr and Umar and Uthman and
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:46
			Hari, but anyone who is
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			an heir of this knowledge, an heir of
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			the prophet
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			So they also say that,
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:52
			ahlulquran
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:54
			ahlulahi wakhasal.
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:56
			Wa ahlulhadith
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			ahlulhusulillahi
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			sallallahu alaihi salam.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			They are the people of Allah Subhanu wa
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:12
			Ta'ala. Because this is our Allah Subhanu wa
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:14
			Ta'ala, this is Karamullah, this is the word
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			of God. This is how He communicates with
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			us.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			And,
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			and in it there is tibiyan likhulishi
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			as the Qur'an says about itself. And in
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			it there is a
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:26
			tibyan, there's
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			a
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			clear explanation for everything.
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33
			And so people who who still, you know,
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:33
			looking
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			for the the master equation that's going to
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			give us what the world is really about
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:40
			and what it means or the theory of
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			everything and that sort of thinking. We have
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:43
			it already
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:44
			in the Quran.
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:45
			The Quran.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			We were not negligent or remiss in anything
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:54
			in the kitab. So everything that that is
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			contained in in the Quran, in in this
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:56
			kitab
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			has a direction for us. It points us
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			in the right direction.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			It's a book that is matlu.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			Right? We recite it. We tilawayani.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			We read it. We contemplate its meanings. Tidabu
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			al ma'ani is one of the rights of
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:11
			the Qur'an upon us.
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:14
			Zaruq says in his book, Naseih al Kafi'ah,
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			that Naseih al Kitab is includes,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			tilawah, is to ponder it, is to,
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			recite its verses as an 'ibadah as an
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			act of worship and it remains an act
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			of worship and a spiritual benefit
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			whether you understand the meanings or you don't
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:32
			understand the meanings.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			Obviously, understanding the meanings is much better. But
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			even if you don't,
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:37
			there is still
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			a benefit in it, still a spiritual benefit
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:41
			in it. It's kalamullah.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:42
			So
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:43
			just like
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:45
			it's you take certain
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:47
			physical
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:49
			medicine
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			or even if you hear certain tunes and
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			rhythms, it creates a mood and makes you
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:55
			feel better. But what about Kalamulullah?
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:57
			What about the word of Allah SubhaanaHu Wa
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			Ta'ala? Can we imagine if we really took
		
00:09:59 --> 00:10:00
			that into
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			our consideration and, you know, made
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			a, concerted effort to make this book
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:08
			a big part of our lives. And in
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			order for it to be a big part
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			of our lives, it should be a daily
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			part of our lives. I mean, really we
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:15
			should strive to have a wird of Quran,
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			a daily one, in whatever capacity you're able
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19
			to do. If you can do 1 page,
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:21
			that's great. You can do half a page,
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:23
			good. Few verses, that's okay.
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26
			If you can do 1 juz, excellent. Half
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			a juz, good.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			But the idea is consistency. The idea is
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:31
			to,
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			you know, to develop a relationship with the
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. You know,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38
			nata daalasal Quran. Because this is what we're
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			doing here. We're actually nata daalasal Quran. We
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:41
			are studying together
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:43
			the meanings of the Quran,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:44
			albeit in
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			a version that comes from one of the
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:49
			great inheritors of the Quran and great inheritors
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:49
			of the Prophet
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			But basically, we are still studying
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:54
			the meanings
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:55
			of the Qur'an.
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:56
			And
		
00:10:57 --> 00:10:59
			the same is true for the sunnah of
		
00:10:59 --> 00:10:59
			our Prophet
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:01
			And there are certain
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:03
			kind of entry points
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:05
			into understanding
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:07
			and having a connection
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:08
			with Our Prophet
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			So amongst those entry points is studying the
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			Seerah and studying the Shama'il.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			So the Seerah is obviously the
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:19
			biography of the Prophet Muhammad
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			and the Shamayl
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			is
		
00:11:22 --> 00:11:23
			a genre,
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:24
			of Hadith
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			that are descriptions
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:28
			of our Prophet
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:29
			Both physical,
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:33
			you know, outward, what they call, al khalq,
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			and both,
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:38
			description of his inward characteristics or al khaluk.
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:40
			So all of that
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			also.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:42
			Those two things
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:45
			are pathways or gates towards our Prophet Muhammad
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:46
			salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			Reading Hadith in general, reading what he said
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			also
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			is a pathway to our Prophet Muhammad salallahu
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:54
			alaihi wa sallam. But probably,
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:56
			or I would say
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			in our opinion, not probably but most certainly,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			the
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:02
			surest and
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			most ascertained way by which to have a
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			path to the Prophet
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			is having a relationship with his heirs. Having
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			relationship with the true 'alama. As his Sirab
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			Abdul Kalani mentions here,
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:18
			al ummah, al 'alama, al aamiyun.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:20
			Right? The ones who know and the ones
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:22
			who do by their knowledge.
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:24
			The ones who know the the sunnah and
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:25
			the seer of our prophet
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			and then they are
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:30
			walking shama'i. Right? They are walking,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			version of our Prophet Muhammad
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			They embody
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:37
			the prophetic traits of our Prophet Muhammad
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			And for many, many people the shema'il actually
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:41
			really become alive
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			And many people, their relationship with the prophet
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:45
			comes alive
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			when they come into contact with or have
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:50
			a basic relationship or even just see them
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:51
			once,
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			one of the heirs of, our prophet Muhammad
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:56
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam. So we ask Allah
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:57
			Subhana Wa Ta'la to facilitate that for us
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			and to give it to us, you know,
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:03
			consistently so that we may too
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:03
			have,
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:05
			a share of this if,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:14
			So,
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:20
			the sheikh then goes on to talk a
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			little bit about
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:22
			our relationship
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:23
			with
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:25
			Dunia and how to
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:26
			build something.
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			Right?
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			And it's interesting.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			So this,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:40
			page 108, if you're following the second or
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:41
			third paragraph,
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:43
			The believer has a correct intention in all
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:44
			his undertakings.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:46
			He does not work in this world for
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:48
			this world's sake, he builds in this world
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:49
			for the sake of the hereafter.
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:52
			He constructs mosques, mazajidhani,
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:54
			bridges, schools and guest houses,
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			and mends the roads of the Muslims.
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			If he builds anything else, it is for
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			the benefit of those who cannot look after
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			themselves,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:04
			for widows and the poor and to meet
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:05
			essential needs.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:07
			He does so that its equivalent will be
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:09
			built for him in the hereafter.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:12
			He does not build to satisfy his natural
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:13
			impulse or his taba',
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:16
			his desires, his hawa and his lower self
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:17
			or his nafs.
		
00:15:18 --> 00:15:20
			When a human being is truly fit, he
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:22
			is with the Lord of Truth as subawajal
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:23
			in all his circumstances.
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			He comes to be such that his absence
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			is because of Allah and his presence is
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:30
			because of Allah.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			His heart is linked to the prophets and
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:34
			Mabiyeen and the messengers Arun al Sayyun.
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:37
			He accepts what they have bought by word
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:39
			and deed with faith and conviction.
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			He is surely linked with them in this
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:43
			world
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			and the hereafter.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:51
			So this is a common question
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:52
			that many people have.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:55
			Because we hear, especially in books like this,
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:56
			about zemidunya.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			You know, zemidunya means the condemnation of dunya,
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			and how one is very dangerous and one
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:04
			should stay far away from it and should
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:05
			take it out of his heart and so
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:05
			forth.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			And
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:10
			even to stay away from it. But what
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:12
			if you have dunya? What if you do
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			have wealth? What if you do have means?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			So the idea then is
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			not necessarily to give all your means away.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:21
			You know, the Quran says,
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:24
			you know, takhilu baynazaliqa sarila.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			Laatabsudhaqulal
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:28
			bast. You know, don't give it all away
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:30
			and don't constrict all of it,
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			but take something in between.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:35
			Take away
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			a moderate way, a medium way between those
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:39
			two extremes.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:40
			And so,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:44
			if you have dunya, if you have means
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:44
			then
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:46
			make the way that you deal with it
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			your tasarif as he says here.
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:54
			So in all of his or her matters,
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:56
			all of her his or her affairs,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:16:59
			have a good intention, have a good *.
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:02
			Don't go into it with your taba, right,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			with your,
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:07
			you know, your just inclination.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Right? That is that could be based upon
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			Hawa, that can be based upon caprice,
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:14
			that can be based upon just a desire
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			for fame or a desire to be noticed.
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:18
			Don't make those the,
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:19
			the,
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:22
			the motivators, the reasons why you're doing something.
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:25
			Make the reason why you're doing something a
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:27
			good intention for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:27
			he even mentions,
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			build schools, build
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			bridges, build hospitals, build whatever,
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:34
			build orphanages,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:36
			take care of people who are in need.
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:39
			These all require resources. These all require,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:42
			a considerable amount of resources and funds to
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			do. And and there has to be people
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:44
			of the ummah
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:47
			who take that upon themselves. And so that's
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:50
			that's an important thing. So if one is,
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:53
			has wealth or has accumulated some of it,
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:54
			and that's your intention in doing so, that
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:57
			you, you know, you want to do it
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:00
			then that's a good intention.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			They also said,
		
00:18:03 --> 00:18:04
			Imam al Shawani,
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:06
			I was reading the other day,
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:07
			he said,
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:09
			From a spiritual perspective,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			don't look at yourself as the
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			sovereign or the owner, the manic
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:19
			of whatever wealth that you have. If you
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:20
			see yourself as merely
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			a wasi you know, the wasi means the
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			one who is the, the administrator over it.
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			Right?
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:28
			Manaladi
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			wasa Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Who is the
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:32
			one who gave you that
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:34
			administrative capacity? Who is the one who has
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			assigned you that? Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:37
			the true Muati,
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:39
			right, the true giver
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:42
			is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And the prophet
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			even mentioned this in hadith narrated in Bukhari.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			Ana qasimu Allahu al Muati.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			I am the distributor
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:51
			and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'alaahu Wa Ta'alaahu Wa
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:52
			Ta'alaahu Wa Ta'ala. He is the one who
		
00:18:52 --> 00:18:55
			gives. So the one who truly gives is
		
00:18:55 --> 00:18:57
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So if he's giving
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:57
			you,
		
00:18:58 --> 00:18:59
			then he's giving you not so that you
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			can indulge yourself,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03
			but rather,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:06
			He wants to see His work done but
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			by your hand. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			giving you the opportunity
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:11
			to
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			you know spread the good
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:16
			and enjoying the common good and to take
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:18
			care of the needy and to take care
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:20
			of those who are in need by
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			your hand. And you know, that's what you
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:25
			should be happy with.
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:27
			You know, and then I'm not a second.
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			He
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			says,
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:44
			Right?
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:52
			Say, by the the the bounty and the
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:53
			virtue of Allah and His mercy,
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:56
			I find falaq. I rejoice.
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			Not
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			it not because of what I accumulate.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:02
			So see yourself as
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:04
			a distributor.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			Right? And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			you the opportunity to be that, much in
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:10
			the same way that the prophet salallahu alaihi
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			wasalam. What did the prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:12
			distribute?
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:13
			Everything.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:16
			Obviously wealth too, but knowledge,
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			nubuwa, the meanings of nubuwa, the meanings of
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:21
			prophethood and prophecy. He was the emissary from
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to the people.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:26
			And you too can have that role,
		
00:20:26 --> 00:20:28
			so don't see yourself as the sovereign, as
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:30
			the owner, so that your heart does not
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:32
			become attached to it, but see it as
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:35
			a custodian of it. You know, you've been
		
00:20:35 --> 00:20:36
			given this
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:37
			responsibility.
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:39
			And that means
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:41
			that if people come to you in need,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:43
			whatever need, if they need your time,
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:47
			if they need something of your wealth, if
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:49
			they need something of your attention, if they
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:50
			need something of your concern,
		
00:20:52 --> 00:20:55
			do not grow agitated from that. Don't become
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:57
			agitated, don't become annoyed and say, why are
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			these people coming to me? Why I think
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:00
			they'll go ask
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			this person, ask this person why they was
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:04
			coming to me. It's a blessing and it's
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:06
			actually an honor that they're coming to you.
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:08
			Right? When Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants to
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:09
			see
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:11
			good in one of his servants,
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:14
			then he sends his other servants to him
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:15
			or to her.
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:17
			So if Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala puts you
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			in the matham, puts you in in the
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			station,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:25
			wants you to be the
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			extender and the distributor of good,
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			then this is a blessing and this is
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			an honor and you should share Alhamdulillah.
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:34
			And the way to show gratitude for that
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:35
			particular blessing
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			is to fulfill that honor. And so if
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:39
			people come to you then
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:42
			help them, take care of them. And it's
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:43
			a mimetic said the prophet shalallahu alaihi wa
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:44
			sallam, kala yaka deenwubulullah.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:47
			He would almost never say no.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			And if Haseh'il came, if someone came,
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:51
			then,
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			either he would give them what they were
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:53
			looking for.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			He will give them what they were looking
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			for. Even if he wasn't able to accommodate
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:01
			them at that particular time, he would still
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			give them even,
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:04
			a kind and a gentle word and deal
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:05
			with them
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:07
			kindly and, you know, without,
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:09
			you know,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			without being aggressive and without malice and so
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:12
			forth.
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			Right? Ask for the the one who asked,
		
00:22:17 --> 00:22:18
			the one who's asking for something.
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:21
			Right? Do not revile them.
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			So, you know, our ethos is very different.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:26
			We don't we don't see people being in
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:27
			the particular position that they're in,
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31
			as something of their own doing. This is
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:32
			circumstances that have been put upon them by
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			And I believe
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:36
			that,
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:40
			you know, in our particular situation now with
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:42
			this pandemic, all those people on the front
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:42
			lines,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			the doctors, the nurses, the first responders, the
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:45
			police,
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:46
			the
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:49
			National Guard, the,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			the even the, you know, politicians who are
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:55
			overseeing this and people in health administration and
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			all that sort of thing, I think this
		
00:22:57 --> 00:22:59
			is a maqam for them. And they may
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:01
			get something out of this. Allah has put
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:02
			them in this position, you know,
		
00:23:03 --> 00:23:04
			literally to
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:08
			save humanity or at least to ameliorate the
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			difficult situation that all of humanity finds itself
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:13
			in now. That's that's a great honor, that's
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:15
			a great matam. And so we should be
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:17
			praying for those people and we should be
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:19
			praying that Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala keeps them
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:22
			safe and keeps their families protected and
		
00:23:22 --> 00:23:25
			raise them in ranks and in degrees and
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:27
			so forth. And
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			everyone,
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:30
			eventually will will find a point in their
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			life or more than once where they will
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			feel like they're in that position will come
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:36
			to them. And so some days you might
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:37
			be on the receiving end and some days
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:38
			you might be
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:41
			on the giving end. But the important thing
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:43
			is is to have the proper etiquette
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:45
			and add up with,
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:46
			Allah.
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:48
			So,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			the next section,
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:55
			which comes right after, he says
		
00:23:57 --> 00:23:57
			or,
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:00
			let me actually address the points before that.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:09
			So if the human being is
		
00:24:10 --> 00:24:11
			yeah, we see this sort of tabir with
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			the Sheikh Allah, Saha al Sahir, yeah, and
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:14
			he is
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			spiritually fit. You know, it's in a place
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			that's supposed to be.
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			Then they are with Allah in
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:25
			all of their circumstances and situations.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:30
			You'll see So, in your absence and in
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:33
			your presence, whether you're absent from a particular
		
00:24:33 --> 00:24:35
			situation or circumstance or whether you're present in
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:36
			it, then let it be
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			by Allah's
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:41
			And this also is connected if you recall
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:41
			when,
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:44
			Sheikh, he talked about before we do something,
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			there are certain gates
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			it must pass through. So we talked about
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			the gate of the Qur'an and the gate
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			of the sunnah,
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			right. Is it Sharayani? Is it halal? Is
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			it right? It's Haram? Is it mandoo? Is
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:56
			it wajib obligatory?
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			Has to pass through that gate. And the
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			gate of,
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:00
			the khanb.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Right? The gate of the heart which is,
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:04
			you know,
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:08
			that that which is good and which is
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:08
			true.
		
00:25:09 --> 00:25:11
			That which is right in and of itself.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:13
			The heart will be
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:16
			will be inclined to it.
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:18
			Wawomeh veyinradelika,
		
00:25:19 --> 00:25:22
			yaharpu firklal. And that which is not inclined,
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			when you feel like it's wrong, astaghtirqalbahuwin
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			afdukal muftoon,
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:28
			then you know something's wrong with it. So
		
00:25:28 --> 00:25:30
			it passes through that gate. And then the
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			last one that he mentioned if you recall,
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:34
			is to have witnessing of fa'ilalafiq.
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:37
			It's to have witnessing of
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:38
			the act of God
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:41
			passing through you. So this
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:42
			is,
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:47
			a little more difficult to witness than seeing
		
00:25:47 --> 00:25:49
			the act of God and everybody else.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:52
			So it's easier if you're gonna say like,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:52
			okay,
		
00:25:52 --> 00:25:54
			I can see that that that's Allah. I
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:56
			know that that person did that but clearly
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:58
			I can see Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, He
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:00
			is the one who is behind that. So
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:02
			I can see fa Allahu falaanu falaanu falaanu
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:05
			falaanu and so forth. But then to see
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			it within oneself
		
00:26:06 --> 00:26:08
			is more difficult, right? Because you have a
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:10
			big obstacle inside namely your nafs,
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:13
			your ego, your appetite, and it wants to
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:13
			be the,
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			the one that is doing everything and and
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18
			the owner of everything. And so that's kind
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:20
			of getting in the way. But it's actually
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:20
			no different.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			I mean, hayesulhatika,
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:23
			Right? From the reality,
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			the true inner reality of things. You are
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:29
			no different than anyone else. So if Fa'Allahu,
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			if the act of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:32
			is yasri
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:33
			is
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:36
			going through them and they are the ones
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:37
			being,
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:39
			kind of,
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:41
			yuhalakoon.
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:43
			Right? They're the ones who are being moved
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			to do things, then that's also true for
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:47
			you. But then the question becomes how does
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:48
			one witness that
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:50
			within themselves?
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:53
			So he kind of, I think,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			touches upon that here. You'll see, wu faqduhu
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			billah wujudhu
		
00:26:57 --> 00:26:57
			billah.
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			Right? You're fucked, your absence
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			is with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, and your
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			presence with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So it's
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:04
			not,
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			by
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09
			your own volition, right. You're not witnessing yourself
		
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10
			in yourself
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			but you're witnessing the divine
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:13
			as it
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:15
			executes
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			within you.
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:19
			And that is Maqam al Musaheda. That is
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:20
			the the idea of Musaheda.
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:22
			If you reach that then yal tahequqalbahu
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			bin nabiyeen wal mursaleen.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			Right? Then your heart becomes connected within nabiyeen,
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			with the prophets and messengers because that's what
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:31
			they are too. Right?
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			They're on a much higher level but that's
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			the basic premise. Yapbulu marja ubihiqawlun waaman wa
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:40
			Iman wa Iqalen. Then you accept everything that
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:41
			they came with, in terms of deeds, in
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:43
			terms of what they said. Iman and wa
		
00:27:43 --> 00:27:44
			iqalen.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			By way of iman and by way of
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49
			certainty that's backed up by Musaheda, by witnessing
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			of this.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:55
			Then
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:56
			there is a certainty,
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:58
			that's what that means,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:01
			that you will be connected with them both
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			in the dunya
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:04
			and in the ekhir.
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:07
			So he he says he is surely linked
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:09
			with them in this world
		
00:28:09 --> 00:28:10
			and in the hereafter.
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			Wunuqallibawumzatil
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:41
			yameenee wathatashimaal.
		
00:29:43 --> 00:29:45
			He who remembers Allah SubhanaHu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:49
			is always alive. He passes from life to
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:50
			life,
		
00:29:50 --> 00:29:53
			experiencing death for an instant only.
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			Right? Because death is actually it's a
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:58
			it's a it's a it's a passageway. It's
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:58
			a gateway.
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			So you're passing from one life to a
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:03
			different type of another life. So you pass
		
00:30:03 --> 00:30:06
			from the life of dunya, this life, and
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:08
			then you enter into life of Al Barzakh.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:11
			Right? The Barzakh is the in between life,
		
00:30:11 --> 00:30:11
			between
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:13
			this life
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:15
			and al akhira al abediyah.
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:18
			Right? And the akhira that is for forever.
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:21
			But in barzakh, which is the life of
		
00:30:21 --> 00:30:23
			the grave, it is part of akhirah, but
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:26
			it's not akhiran abediyah. It's not the one
		
00:30:26 --> 00:30:28
			that's forever. It's temporary, ilayyum sah, ilayyum unbath
		
00:30:28 --> 00:30:31
			until, the resurrection, until the day of judgment
		
00:30:31 --> 00:30:32
			and then we'll all be resurrected.
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			But as you pass through, these are gateways
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:38
			so you only really,
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			taste death. Kulu nafsun the Iqatul mawt as
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			the Quran says. The Ita, yaani will taste
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:46
			it or is tasting it.
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:48
			And it's interesting here even in the Arabic,
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:51
			the ithaqqal mawt which is isimfa'al
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:54
			which means that is your state right now
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			not that you will do that in the
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:57
			future. So you are tasting death in a
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			sense as you are now. This could mean
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:00
			mawt enafs
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:04
			qabla antamut hasabu and fusible qablanta hasabu.
		
00:31:11 --> 00:31:13
			And in fact, sleep is considered to be
		
00:31:13 --> 00:31:14
			the lesser death. Right? Because you're in a
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			state where you're in a different type of
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			life. You can be going to all these
		
00:31:18 --> 00:31:20
			different places and you wake up, and then
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			that just felt like you were somewhere completely
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:24
			different. That's what this life will feel like
		
00:31:25 --> 00:31:27
			when you die. So when you're where people
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:30
			are asleep in this life, and when they
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:31
			die, they wake up.
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:32
			Right?
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			Hadid.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:38
			Then your basar, how you see will be
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:40
			hadid, will be steely,
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:42
			in terms of its penetration. It will not
		
00:31:42 --> 00:31:43
			make a mistake.
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:45
			So things that were
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:48
			mani, things that were merely meaning in this
		
00:31:48 --> 00:31:51
			life will be mutajestic in the next life.
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:51
			They will be
		
00:31:52 --> 00:31:53
			take on
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:55
			real, and will appear to us, and they
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:58
			are real physical forms, but a physicality of
		
00:31:58 --> 00:32:00
			the akhirah, not the physicality of the duniya.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:02
			So
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:05
			we only experience death for that instant,
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			and
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			in terms of passing from one to the
		
00:32:08 --> 00:32:08
			next.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:11
			So when remembrance zikr has come to be
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:14
			established in the heart, the servants remembrance of
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			Allah is constant even if he does not
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			remember him with his tongue.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21
			And we've talked about this, dhikr khanp dunal
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:23
			lisan So the real dhikr is the dhikr
		
00:32:23 --> 00:32:25
			of the heart and then the lisan taba
		
00:32:26 --> 00:32:29
			and then the tongue follows based upon the
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:31
			dhikr of the heart because the dhikr of
		
00:32:31 --> 00:32:32
			the heart is constant.
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:37
			As long as a servant is constant in
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			his remembrance of Allah, he is also constant
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			in his compliance with his wishes
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			and His ready acceptance of His workings.
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:45
			If we do not conform to the Will
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47
			of the Lord of Truth, Azzawajal,
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:50
			when summer comes around, the heat of the
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:51
			summer will leave us exhausted.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			And unless we conform to His will, when
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54
			winter comes,
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:57
			the cold of winter will leave us chilled.
		
00:32:57 --> 00:32:59
			And we talked about this the last session,
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:02
			Seasons, the circumstances that come to us,
		
00:33:02 --> 00:33:05
			right. Summer comes and we're very happy and
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:05
			it's great
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:07
			and then winter comes and we're constricted
		
00:33:08 --> 00:33:10
			But the idea is to have the proper
		
00:33:10 --> 00:33:12
			edab in each of them, so that when
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:14
			summer comes you don't feel like you're too
		
00:33:14 --> 00:33:15
			hot, you don't feel muzaj,
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:18
			you don't feel irritated and agitated with the
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:19
			circumstance of summer.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:21
			And then when winter comes
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:23
			you also have the adab and etiquette. So
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			maybe this needs forbearance, maybe this needs patience.
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:28
			So then you have the etiquette,
		
00:33:29 --> 00:33:31
			the proper adab in the winter. So you
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:32
			don't become chilled or too cold.
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:37
			By adjusting to them both, we avoid the
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:39
			discomforts caused by their extreme conditions.
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:43
			In similar fashion, by adjusting to trials and
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:43
			tribulations,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:47
			we dispel the anxiety, distress, anguish, worry,
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			and disturbance that comes with them. How marvelous
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:52
			are the affairs of the people of the
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:53
			Lord, Al Qom.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			And you'll find this word a lot. Ahuwal
		
00:33:55 --> 00:33:56
			al Qawm the people of Al Qawm. It
		
00:33:56 --> 00:33:58
			means people of the path, of people of
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			taking
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:01
			deskiyah or the path of Muqal Rabeen,
		
00:34:01 --> 00:34:02
			the path of those who are closest to
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. How excellent are their
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:06
			states, their ahuwer.
		
00:34:06 --> 00:34:08
			Everything they receive from the Lord of truth
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:09
			is a delight to them.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:12
			He has let them drink the sulfuric drug,
		
00:34:12 --> 00:34:13
			al banj,
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:15
			of his intimate knowledge, Marifa,
		
00:34:15 --> 00:34:17
			and their sleep is in the lap of
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:20
			his tender care. He has entertained them with
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			his friendship, so of course it delightful for
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:24
			them to stay with him and away from
		
00:34:24 --> 00:34:25
			everything apart
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:29
			from him. They remain lifeless in his presence
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			for awe has possessed them. Then He so
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:33
			wishes, He
		
00:34:33 --> 00:34:37
			resuscitates them, resurrects them, revives them and wakes
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			them up.
		
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40
			This can refer to both
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			the the between dunya and efirah, so the
		
00:34:42 --> 00:34:44
			actual death and then the resurrection.
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:45
			Or it can mean
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:48
			the death of life which is death of
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:48
			the nafs,
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:50
			or the overcoming
		
00:34:50 --> 00:34:53
			of the muleed or the disciple over their
		
00:34:53 --> 00:34:55
			nafs, over their ego, over their appetite,
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:56
			into a more focused
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			and intimate relationship with Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			And so at that point there's a bit
		
00:35:01 --> 00:35:02
			of lifelessness
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:03
			of the nafs
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:04
			and then it's resuscitated
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:06
			or revived
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:08
			in terms of the gua and the seer.
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			Then when Musa wishes he resuscitates them, resurrects
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			them, revives them and wakes them up. In
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:15
			his presence they are like the companions of
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:16
			the cave,
		
00:35:16 --> 00:35:19
			Ashabil Kaf, in their cave concerning whom he
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			said,
		
00:35:20 --> 00:35:21
			and we turn them over to the night
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:23
			then over to the left.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:25
			Right. And the qaddu mumu that, qaddu mumu
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:27
			that, shimagwaddu qadbuunbaal saqadbu wa ahi billawasi.
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:30
			And it said, one of the tafasir of
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:31
			this this verse
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			is that the cave was open and,
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:38
			you know, sunlight would come in and
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:40
			and so forth.
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:41
			And also,
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:45
			you know, imagine sleeping through a 109 years
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			on only one side of your body.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			You know, what type of bed sores are
		
00:35:49 --> 00:35:51
			you gonna have after that? People get bed
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			sores if they stay 9, 10 days in
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			a hospital bed.
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:56
			So here this is referring to Allah Subhanahu
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			Wa Ta'ala, yuqadiboom datilliminu zatashimin.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:01
			So their bodies were being turned by Allah
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:03
			Subhaana Wa Ta'la to protect them
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:04
			from,
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:07
			you know, having, you know, atrophy
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:08
			or a bedsore,
		
00:36:09 --> 00:36:10
			you know, from from one side of on
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			one side of the body versus the other.
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:12
			And another
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:15
			and another, the sierra belief also for the
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:17
			sun coming in and out, also not to
		
00:36:17 --> 00:36:18
			be hung by the sun on one side
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			and not on the other. So more
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:23
			of an even, restful sleep that they were
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:27
			there for 300 years or so. And so
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:29
			the the the metaphor here is we too
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			have witnessing mushahadah of QadrAllaha
		
00:36:32 --> 00:36:32
			yasilifiq.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			Have a Musaheda that the,
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:37
			the Qadr the the divine decree of Allah
		
00:36:37 --> 00:36:38
			Subhaana Wa Ta'ala is
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:40
			running through you. So let Allah Subhaana Wa
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43
			Ta'ala be the one holding the steering wheel,
		
00:36:44 --> 00:36:45
			not you.
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:48
			That doesn't mean that we're fatalistic,
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:51
			but it means that we realize the haftikla,
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:53
			that it's truly Allah driving.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:56
			But at the same time, he's given us
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:59
			some aspect of Iftiyar. He's given some aspect
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01
			of choice, And in that aspect of choice
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:02
			we choose to choose him.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:05
			So let's choose to choose Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:07
			Ta'ala and not choose something else.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:10
			Then our deeds and our acts and our
		
00:37:10 --> 00:37:12
			aqwal and everything about us, our ahuwad or
		
00:37:12 --> 00:37:14
			states will be commensurate with,
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:18
			the divine decree that seeks a nayyah for
		
00:37:18 --> 00:37:20
			us, that seeks special attention and
		
00:37:20 --> 00:37:21
			gives us,
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			divine gifts.
