Smilla Rahmanir Rahim hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
wa sallahu wa sallim wa barik ala Sayidina Muhammad in the opinion
of me while he was having a drain well that
so Hamdulillah
we continue reading from the work of CD Maha D
of the Father Jelani Rahim Allah, when I go on who I try to have a
burning will fade on rock many a set of 62, discourses, lectures,
that he delivered at various times in the year 545, in the Hijra in
Medina to set up a meeting about that.
So, we have reached the 17th. This course. And
one of the themes that we'll be discussing early on here, which
comes in the beginning of the discourse,
is to speak for Allah and speak by Allah and to speak with Allah
subhanaw taala
that our speech is something that begins with an inward aspect, some
of them refer to this as
Kalam enough, see, and we learn about this also in theology. So
the speech or the kalam begins inside enough SICA right within
your, your mind or within your heart. And then when it actually
comes out, when I thought that a lot further behalf when you start
speaking, then it becomes can I love the than the words that are
actually pronounced, and the province are setting them kind of
established, the golden rule for speech, where he says, are seldom
men can be learning with young without fear failure can fire on
on the smart,
whoever believes
in Allah and the Last Day,
then let him say something good, only us what it is better to be
silent. So the Robert, the connection between what we say and
the afterlife is also confirmed another Hadith of the prophets
voice and then when he was asked,
What else was going to be medical? You know, he was asked, Are we
going to be taken to task or taken? Is there a preset for the
things that we say? So this person thought it was something any any
we're not doing anything? We're not hurting people, but we're just
saying something. And then the province also responded, Well, you
could nurse Adam in a federal home. Why don't you will he'll do
it in Illa, Hassan acidity, and our people not dragged on their
noses around their faces,
to hellfire, except by virtue of what they're they harvest from
their tongues with their tongues, so what their tongues. So that
means what we say
has value has an effect upon others. And so when we talked
about the gates before, a recurring theme that we see with
the chef, and then when we go through the gate of the Quran, and
the gate of the Sunday and the gate of the Sharia is something
highlights they say, is it something true? Is it something
that's going to bring benefit or not benefit? You know, these are
all the things that one should be thinking about before they
actually say something?
And then the other gates, right, and club, you know, do you feel
like it's right in your heart? Right? Do you feel like, Oh, am I
a hookah facade? Right? Is this something that grates against your
heart even though it seems to be on the halal side? Or is it
something that is going to bring benefits and you feel that there's
kind of a divine permission? There's isn't right to say that
and we mentioned the verse of the Quran about the Prophet SAW Salem,
where they live, isn't he? What's your logic Munira? Yeah, it Allah
He is the one who calls when right so last one with Allah by His
isn't by the permission of Allah subhanaw taala and then the other
part was the Rajan Munira. So, not just by his tongue, but by his
hand by his state, he is suraj Munia right, you need Arkadin, he
is the quintessential metaphoric kerosene lamp that gives light to
others. And then the last one for Allah Allah if Ik had to share his
philosophy, do you see do you witness the geranyl cuddle?
Flicker? Are you witnessing that this is the cover of Allah's
Baraka Allah to the degree almost where you are a non active
participant where you are you are making more shahada of your own
words. And they said that the sign that the words that you're saying
should be said are going to have a positive effect.
Is that you see them applying to yourself, you see that you are
addressing yourself before you're addressing others. So it's not
entirely Allah Ness. It's not so that you can have a kind of a
feeling of superiority or sanctimony or otherwise, or
pretense over people, but you see yourself as the one being
addressed first and foremost, and the mohatta before other people.
And then you also see that the Mohawk tip, the one who is
addressing is Allah subhanaw taala. So that was it means
gentiana and said, Oh,
Seattle fallacy that you see that the words that are they're moving
through you. But you feel that they're coming from a divine
inspiration, or a divine source, and then obviously, that's at the
highest level. So those four gates, but at the minimum, the
gate of the Quran and Sunnah. So it shouldn't be a word that's
backbiting it shouldn't be an amoeba. It shouldn't be slander,
or Colombini, it shouldn't be a lie. It shouldn't be something
that's hurtful to somebody, even though it may be true, these sorts
of things, one should be considering it. And you might say,
well, after all of that, fight, to think about all those things,
before I say something, then I don't think I'm going to say
anything. And that's kind of the conclusion, the chef wants you to
arrive at that. Be real careful about things that you say,
otherwise, if it just, you know, comes up with where it comes up
with your with your thought, ah, as he mentioned, how and blah,
blah, you know, your natural inclination or your, you know,
whatever depends upon your mood at that particular time, and then it
comes out in a particular way,
then that's not something that's going to be, let's say, divinely
sanctioned,
you know, in the highest instance, it's going to be something that's
just merely a reflection of, or self expression of what's going on
with you. And that's usually how most people speak today. They want
to be heard, they want to self Express, they want to be noticed,
they want people to, you know, say, Oh, that was cool what you
said or that was really,
you know, really
interesting. And, you know, then I should also mention that the
things that you share,
you know, whether I'm, like live like you actually say something,
things you share on social media are things that you retweet
information that you put out there. That is also a form of
speech, that was also something that should pass through the
gates. And so yes, it's good to share things that are beneficial
and are going to bring benefit to others. And
that's, that's, that's important. But also the opposite is true. If
it's something that it hasn't passed through the gates, you
haven't really verified either the source of what is being said, or
the meaning of it. Going back to the the verse on Quran tells us
that yeah, he would Edina mn
injure a professor from Vienna in fact again, if someone Fassett
Jani an untrusted, or unworthy source or unknown source, Jaya a
convener that comes with a never comes with a news, feta venue in
one Quranic recitation and other one FATF battle. So for today, no
means decipher what is it actually mean? Are you sure that's what
they're saying? Or they mean something else? And that is a
battle ascertain its veracity? In other words, the source? Is that
really a hadith? Is that really what this person said?
Those sorts of things is that what they meant, you know, in terms of
meaning, all these things, and some of the tifosi or the Sharia,
which are kind of the more esoteric or Sufi type series, they
said, Here, the facet is the neffs. Could be understood, right?
Because sometimes there's a lot of there's a lot and so, kind of the
button a shoddy meaning, which also affirms the outward, a
sensible meaning is your neffs will come to you with above your
knifes will come to you with news with things that it's telling you,
oh, that person has intention, or his motivation for, you know,
inviting you over is just because they want to hit you up for a
loan. And, you know, you have kind of all of these suspicions and
become suspicious of people's new way of people's intentions and
motivations and, and so forth.
That's your next witness, any facet of Solomon, there's nothing
that's more corrupt than your own less than your own ego than your
own, you know, lower soul. So it's coming to you and,
you know, just wants you to be mired in folly and for dissociate
itself by feeling that it's better than everybody else. And so,
further, the universe has a battle right away, and that was really
happening here, or is that kind of my, my paranoia is going to get
into the better of me and maybe because I'm in a bad mood, I have
a bad opinion of this particular person or so forth. And
You know, the
jurisprudence, they have a very beautiful kind of principle that
they try to stay until abide by.
And when they say lyac, they'll call the wherewithal to ban the
hottie, the judge should not issue
your judicial or judicial pronouncements and do not judge a
case, while held back while they're in a state of anger, in
other words, while they're in a compromised emotional state, and
they extended this understanding to all other facets of life, so
they said, and without risk, without risk, then the teachers
should not impart knowledge or teach. Also, when they're angry,
you should not the parent should not impart discipline, when anger
is getting the better part of them, not that they could be upset
about a child's behavior. But when it's the anger that's fueling the
matter and mode of discipline, then they should hold off on
discipline.
The husband should not pronounce divorce when he's in a state of
anger, that's not how they're supposed to be done. There's a
process, there are steps. And so all of these are compromised
emotional states, that when you do say something, right, and those
words are going to have an effect, and they could injure people,
right, you may say it's just the word what's the big deal, but no
words, words, hearts, you know, sticks, and stones may break my
bones. but
words will never hurt me, that's not true.
Sticks and stones break bones and words, break hearts. So they can
they can even be more injurious to, to the, to the human being,
and right on our emotional, spiritual, kind of mental level.
And I think also just gone back to our current situation, everybody's
kind of cooped inside and, and knee and nerves maybe get frayed
and, and people are beginning to get antsy, and, you know, not
seeing really a conclusive end in sight and not knowing what that's
going to come. And so people I would say, could be in a in a bit
of compromised emotional state. So
first of all, you're very fortunate if you're living with
other people. So if you have your children around you, or your
spouse, or your mother or your father, or your brothers and your
sisters, that's really a great blessing. Right? Some people, many
people who are doing this completely alone, right, there are
several European capitals, especially like in Scandinavia and
Northern Europe, where the the close to 50% or more I think of
households are single households, so people actually living alone
while they're doing this. But if you're not in that situation, then
that's a great blessing. And you know, with that blessing may come
some tests, it's good to, if you find yourself you are in an
agitated state, then it's okay to retreat a little bit within
yourself. Right. In other words, maintain the exterior. Sous Chef,
he talks about this is like from the exterior with people. And this
was the way the province our southern was Canada immigration,
you know, the, in the description in the CheMin candidate, I mean,
he was always kind of smiling and welcoming to people. But at the
same time,
they used to say that he was multifaceted or has a color that
he had kind of consistent as n. And he wasn't technically mean
sadness. But in this context, we would say contemplative Enos, so
there was a level obviously, of detachment within the spirit of
the prophets, I send them and contemplation, but that that inner
state of his did not prevent him from giving people their rights
based upon his outer states, so they don't necessarily have access
to his inner state. Alright, so this was the mention of some of
the Sahaba but others noticed his outward state, okay, in the
immigration, right, he was someone who was Yanni smiling and
welcoming and an easy and gentle with people.
And that's what we should strive to be, we should cultivate this
inner spiritual life of ours and at the same time,
we should also maintain, so cultivation inwardly and then
maintain a exterior of friendliness of
easy mannerism and so forth. Some of you might say, Oh, well, that's
kind of like, Isn't that like being too faced? Isn't that being
fake? It's not being the real mean. People gotta see what's
really going on with me. know people don't really have to see
what's going on with you, man necessarily, make what's going on
with you inside, but from the outside people deserve other
people deserve good manners. People Deserve kindness. People
Deserve gentleness. And most of the time I think when people act
out upon others, it's not really that that person they had a long
history with them, especially when you see
Do people act out on strangers and people they barely know, it's not
about that one interaction they had but that was kind of the
trigger for them. It was something that was cumulative that was
already going inside. And then something triggered it and then it
all spilled out. So you know, the guy who feels
downtrodden at work and never gets the promotion and you know,
doesn't get invited out to lunch by his colleagues and that sort of
thing. And then
you know, acts out in a situation where he feels his neffs anyway,
feels that it has the upper hand on something, then then you see a
kind of temper and you know, loss of
Virginia state and so forth. Doesn't mean that person is evil
or horrible, but it means that there was something Coolidge going
on, and then it kind of just came out. So anyway, let's let's go to
the text.
So he says Robbie Lauren.

lady Heaney, he been a phenomena where ESEA for a lot of my whole
long was organic Jamara.
He says, Do not be concerned about your sustenance, your risk,
because it's search for you is more intense than your search for
it. Guys patola Shecky says in like three words,
any, any length, and it just so there will be any what would give
someone kind of a coolness of heart because that's true. My Risk
my sustenance is coming to me, whether I search for it, or I
don't search for my searching for it or say, as as much in the Quran
is makuu it's requested, yes, you should have psi and you should be
seeking and you should be adding value to society and you know, if
that's going to be worth something
in terms of compensation or compensation to society, then you
know, that's how people make their living and so forth. And that's
fine. But no, there is not a metaphysical connection, direct
metaphysical connection between you're seeking that and Allah
giving it to you. In other words, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't
withhold your sustenance because you were negligent in looking for
it. No, the other with Allah subhanaw taala is that you put
forth effort Yes. But Allah subhanaw taala has decided and
determine what your risk what your your exam, what you're going to
get in life, what's going to be who you're going to marry, and who
you're not going to marry and how many children you're gonna have or
not how many children are gonna have when you go to die and all
these things. These are ultrasoc Right? These are things that Allah
subhanaw taala
has determined for you and you will get them whether you search
for them or you don't search for them.
So it's it's search for you is more intense than your search for
it because that which comes from Allah, Allah Allah is searching.
Right? What comes from Allah to us is certain. And what goes from us
to Allah is not soul searching, right? It has lol It's Malou as
they say has deficiencies that have shortcomings. It has
failings. If our deeds we think we're giving them to Allah Spano
Tata, well, those deeds are not worth anything if they are not
completely embedded and embossed in insincerity. So if there's no
sincerity in them, then there's no worth to those deeds. And then
along with how to Aslan, it's done. I mean, I'm waiting for
somebody and the alarm agenda that Allah is hauled out he already
purchased your your wealth and your deeds, and then he gives them
back to you. And what do we get in return?
agenda we get paradise in return. So do not be concerned about your
sustenance because it's search for you is more intense than your
Search for it. When you have obtained today sustenance, stop
worrying about tomorrow's as you have left yesterday behind
yesterday is in the past and as for tomorrow you not know whether
it will come to you or not. So concentrate on your today
right because tomorrow your mouth Tomorrow is not promised tomorrow.
We hope it's going to come right for any of us are for all of us
but it's not something that Allah smart Allah promises you but he
promises you your trust your sustenance, learners localista
National nosocomial octava toilet Taqwa the Quran, we do not ask you
to provide for yourselves, not known as we will provide for you.
While October to the taqwa Alaska. That which is in the final, some
the final destination. The final mode for what the taqwa so Taqwa
is what Allah asked from asks from you not to provide your own
sustenance and Taco means to follow His commands and avoid his
prohibitions.
So then he goes on to say, if you really knew the Lord of truth, so
again, you would be too preoccupied with him to go looking
for sustenance, his our inspiring Majesty would prevent you from
seeking anything from him. Because when someone really knows Allah
subhanaw taala his tongue ceases to function. Right?
If not, that is secondary, he says one of the Hycon it to have it the
hammock, tolerable caminho it to him, Allah, Tala will come in who
it Tamela you seeking from Allah, like your sustenance, your risk,
and like things that you want to go for you in a in a, in a
particular MACOM. Right. And I'll explain this in a second
is an accusation that you're leveling at Allah subhanaw taala.
It's like, you have to remind Allah, Allah was opening.
You know, you have to remind the last one with Allah, He, you know,
imagine someone promised you something. And they said, it's all
taken care of, I have the bank account number for you. And I have
the pin. It's all there. Don't worry about it's gonna be fine.
And this is someone that you implicitly and explicitly trust
completely. And then you keep nagging them and say, okay, sure,
it's there. Is it coming? Because you? Yeah, I told you that like,
six times ago. Yeah. But I want to make sure. So, from that
perspective, if you're asking and you have Chuck, if you're asking
and you have doubts, whether Allah small town is going to deliver on
his promise or not, how they're where they're at him. Right and
that's leveling an accusation against Allah subhanaw taala. But
if you are asking right for me now what is going well, sir, right and
why the wrist and you are doing it is hard and fatter. Right? What
the handbook will do the, to show that you Allah smart, Allah will
Lynnie we're not going to talk about what that is, one is
completely self sufficient. I will call him How will you call it
meaning self sufficient, he doesn't need anyone will play you.
He is the One A formal offer in a pharmacy. And he is the one who
gives sustenance and gives life right and existence to everything
else. So call him one call you that means that he says he's going
to do something, then he's going to do it. So but when we ask
Mildred Fatah, right, we're establishing that relationship
between ourselves and Allah subhanaw taala. And the hucog will
be the end to actualize and realize our server to towards the
last panel into him being our master and our sovereign. So we
ask, right and we ask because he's the word worthy being of asked.
And we pray to him because he's the one worthy of being
worshipped. And we supplicate to him because he's the one worthy of
answering our supplication. Those are the reasons not because we
have some doubt we want to remind the law, maybe he's not listening.
Maybe he's not paying attention. Hasha I would have been like no
one would have actually say that with their tongues and say I don't
think I was paying attention. Except if they're Motorhead.
Right, someone has doubt about God. But sometimes our actions,
you know, betray that sentiment in the way that we ask and the way
that we approach our event, in the anxiety in the trepidation that we
find ourselves in when we are having have an expectation of
something to be forthcoming that we expect from Allah subhanaw
taala and then it's not forthcoming. When Allah doesn't
answer the why do we have this all of the other does all of the bad
etiquette come out? That we start thinking internally even though we
might not say it? Why isn't Allah answering it? They're not paying
attention. I'm really in a bind here. I really need them to do
this. And so forth.
Have have set up the law right have hospitals and biller have
confidence in lost power power. He's promised you something and he
actually swears by it in the Quran.
Now will have missed them and enough on time to call and so it
is very
At this risk in our lap with Luma and not confined to cool, it's
happy truth as much as much as you know what you're saying when you
speak this is how true the risk the sustenance is coming to you
so it's all inspiring Majesty would prevent you from seeking
anything from him. Right? In other words LSVT shack, why the Seville
Etihad? Not Allah Seville is harder Fatah with a booty with
half of it already. So if it's someone accusing sense
so it's all inspiring Madrasi will grant you from singing from him
because when someone really knows Allah subhanaw taala his tongue
ceases to function.
Right You're if you really see Allah subhanaw taala then you are
going to be what's called Miss Gould. Bill Haber. Right? And
haber is a form of Shahada. Haber means to be in awe of Allah
subhanaw taala in honor of the Majesty of Allah subhanaw taala to
the degree that you can literally Semak right, you're not able to,
to speak right, and you're not able to properly you know,
ask and and unseat. And, you know, sometimes the truest supplication
is not the one that has, you know, rhyming words, and it's unknown,
and, you know, and sounds, you know, nice and everybody shares it
on Facebook, and they have the background, you know,
background kind of,
you know, sad, mushy, that's making the DUA and then we think
that's a powerful tool, that sometimes the DA is the broken one
that doesn't have, you know, this Dantana, or this Ron Nana aspect
to it, and it's, you know, shared he mentioned that some some time.
One of the things he just made this too hot, the the person who
preceded him did the very eloquent and beautiful and rhyming and all
that, and I don't want to give up said more. John Lemina ju de.
You want to come back from settlement, John lemenager, you
didn't make us from a JD, which is not even that proper Arabic. But
it will be Jihad will be better.
Make us from the good ones, the good people, and everyone wept.
And yet the you know, actually his son was the one who did before and
the son said, How come when I did this, like, you know, very
eloquent production and everything and nobody worked like when they
work for you. He said, Because something's those that leave from
the heart reached the heart. And those things that do only come
from the tongue. They do not go past people's ears. So
it's not about eloquence of the tongue. It's really about
sincerity and then, forthcoming and outpouring of the hearts.
The knower that if he says, remains dumb and speechless,
speechless, in the presence of the Lord of truth, until he sends him
back to attend to the interest of his creatures. Then when he
restores him to them, he removes the paralysis from his tongue and
the impediment from his speech. When Moses peace be upon him on a
Salam was shepherding the flocks and herds his tongue was afflicted
with stammering gobbling, mispronunciation, and stuttering.
So when the Lord of truth as though a gel, wish to send him
back to his people who inspired him, and him who Yanni to say,
untie the knot from my tongue, that they may understand my words,
right? This is the seed that Musa said this to our last panel.
It was as if you were saying when I was out in the wilderness,
shepherding the flocks, and herds, right, because he spent 10 years
with Cigna show I've and the people of Medina
I had no need of this. But now I have work to do among the people,
and I must be able to talk to them. So I need to be rid of the
impediment in my speech. His Lord, therefore move them out from his
tongue. He used the vocabulary of 90 Clearly, in tangible terms, a
small number of words in proportion to those occurring in
the speech of others. In his childhood, he had been eager to
speak out of turn in the presence of Pharaoh and ESEA. So Allah
subhanaw taala had made him swallow alive. Cool. Now, one
caveat to this, that we learned in Africa that none of the prophets
had any sort of physical impairments that would render them
unable to, to deliver the reseller, right. Or that would
cause people to, you know, seem them unworthy, at least from a
human physical aspect. So the look now or whatever that was with
Mussolini's setup, like it's mentioned here was something that
was temporary and was maybe a
a temporary state and Allah subhanaw taala lifted that much in
the same way that happened with
the father of use of GeoSafari salaam Yaqoob. Right.
When he went blind right out of middle housing,
from sadness from from losing his son or what he thought he had lost
his
on and then his sight was returned after he took the commies after he
took the shirt of
of use of it he said of it as your duty how use of Lola Lola to Fendi
Do
you know I have the
I have the fragrance of use of except a few did not prevaricate
speaking to the other sons that he had so
so the same thing with with Jacoba he said I'm so he was not blind
per se just in much in the same way that Musa histogram also did
not have this impairment. He didn't have a speech impediment.
But Allah subhanaw taala wrote the either he returned to him, that
eloquence and he was able to speak to Pharaoh and the people in
Pharaoh's court and Bennett and his people, as well. And I'll
start with that also gave him how rune was Iran. Right? Most how
they said, I'm asked for
Aaron his brother Harun. And so he also was a messenger along with
his brother Musala, he said.
So, we should then
endeavor to make our speech.
Inspired, right, and the way that you make your speech inspired is
to make every hot walk, and left us and figure out how to draw, you
know, every thought and every breath and every step one takes in
life, to be in accordance with the divine command, and not to be
McAuliffe not to be against the divine prohibitions and to
and he, I'm sure either has a dark too can be continuous and needs to
be consistent, to establish
moderate, if not modest, spiritual routines in one's life to fill up
one's day, what call time either locked, so that one's day remains
connected and remains in remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala and you don't have to be, you know, in isolation and
quarantine in your basement to do that you could be at work doing
that you could be
you know, doing any sort of occupation that one does. But here
we're talking about shortly, we're talking about the,
the work or the spiritual work of, of the heart. So, if the heart is
doing that, and then all the actions outwardly as we've seen
this year, emphasize more than once, we'll also be in congregants
with that as well.
So, I think that's kind of what I wanted to say for this session.
The rest of the
discourse are kind of similar themes that we've seen before. So
I'm not going to really address those right now. Unless people
have specific questions about it. And I'll stop there inshallah and
look at some of the questions if there are any from today are
