AI: Summary ©
The speakers discuss the importance of knowing the value of one's actions and experiences in relation to their beliefs and experiences, and the "byproduct of Islam" in seeking a close relationship with God. They also touch on the "has been fully realized" concept and the potential implications of it on science and technology, as well as the importance of finding people of similar caliber to Islam and finding them in a caliber of people who want to be recognized and be known. The speakers emphasize the importance of focusing on what will walk the count date and not getting into a situation of anxiety, as it is a result of the lack of focus and concentration.

00:00:07 --> 00:00:10

I mean, a lot on Sunday, you're selling more vertical or vertical

00:00:10 --> 00:00:14

opportunity. I mean, so you didn't have Mohammed Abdullah Al Hashimi

00:00:14 --> 00:00:18

or Cora she was early, he was hard, we will monitor their

00:00:18 --> 00:00:19

behavior he was done in the vicinity here,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

whatever, whatever the only team

00:00:23 --> 00:00:30

I'm about. So I'm glad we're able to meet once again, hopefully the

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

connection will be sustained this session.

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

And we're reading from the

00:00:38 --> 00:00:39

discourses

00:00:40 --> 00:00:46

of city windy in the closet jeelani A set of lectures or

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

discourses that he gave in Baghdad between the years far 45 and 546.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:55

In Medina to Sudan otherwise known as a dead or Baghdad

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

may Allah have mercy and blessings upon its inhabitants and upon

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

saving the shift as well. And all those who follow His guidance and

00:01:05 --> 00:01:06

the controls are prophets.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

So we had reached

00:01:10 --> 00:01:18

the 21st discourse, which is rather short. So I think we likely

00:01:18 --> 00:01:25

will get to the 20 Sorry, reach the 21st which is rather social so

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

we're likely to get to the 22nd

00:01:29 --> 00:01:37

discourse as well. Shall not so the theme in the 21st is this idea

00:01:37 --> 00:01:40

of veils or hijab.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:42

And

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

we find this mentioned in the Quran, Allah enamel robbing me on

00:01:47 --> 00:01:53

the 18th of June right. So at the top of uniforms taken module one,

00:01:53 --> 00:01:58

so they will be veiled from their Lord on that particular day. And

00:01:59 --> 00:01:59

so,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02

apart from the popular

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

way that hijab is used, which is to indicate the headcovering

00:02:09 --> 00:02:15

of a woman, but the stock the terminology that we find in books

00:02:15 --> 00:02:19

like this of hijab, is talking about veils between you and Allah

00:02:19 --> 00:02:23

span of time. So if a lost battle to Allah is the ultimate reality,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:29

well what happened? And moonbeam right, he is the clear. And our if

00:02:29 --> 00:02:36

in my life, as sidaway said, He is the most known of things that can

00:02:36 --> 00:02:42

be known. And I will worship America or another and at the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46

Illinois River and the element of appeal they said that the first

00:02:46 --> 00:02:50

obligation upon anybody is to know God, or at the very least another,

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

to take it upon themselves to explore and get to the point where

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

they can know Allah subhanaw taala. So knowing Allah Spano God,

00:02:57 --> 00:03:02

it seems like it should be a fairly straightforward thing. If

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

Allah one of His Names is a forehead, as we've mentioned many

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

times before, and then he's a manifest and everything in the

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

dunya. And everything in creation is at the jelly. It's a

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

manifestation of Allah's power and of His will and of his knowledge

00:03:16 --> 00:03:22

and his intent and so forth. Then why is it that there are seemingly

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

so many people who don't see that we don't believe in God who are

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

refuse to even think about the question to begin with?

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

And the answer to that is that there are hijab there are these

00:03:35 --> 00:03:39

veils between us and our last panel Tada. So, alas, volatile has

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

not failed. The ones who are veiled are us were veiled by our

00:03:44 --> 00:03:50

own mistakes by our sins, which is commonly referred to as a coda.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:57

Avoid many, our hijet before many, so the opaque or dark veil is one

00:03:57 --> 00:04:01

that is of your own doing, by your transgressions, by your mistakes

00:04:01 --> 00:04:07

by your city. And so, the, the, the obstacles the hindrances

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

between us, and knowing the last part without having a more sort of

00:04:11 --> 00:04:19

immediate and intimate knowledge of Him so that it reflects every

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

moment in our lives. It's, it's of a spiritual nature, not so much as

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

an intellectual nation. So it's of a spiritual nature that means our

00:04:28 --> 00:04:33

deeds, our acts, our state's so forth, they can get in the way of

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

us seeing Allah subhanaw taala and no one else went out there. So,

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

these hijab, or these these veils can be dark and opaque, or they

00:04:43 --> 00:04:48

can be made out of light. Once a person has somewhat transcended

00:04:48 --> 00:04:52

and move beyond just kind of the run of the mill every day.

00:04:54 --> 00:04:59

Sinning of the laity and then has moved to a closer Corp right away.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

So I'm telling you, Cory Booker today he brings you closer to him,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:06

they're still going to be Hoja. They're still going to be veils

00:05:06 --> 00:05:11

because it's something that you never quite get free of. And those

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

type of wardrobe are going to be called New Rania. So veils of

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

light. And no matter how much you think that you know, Allah

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

subhanaw taala Are you having appreciation for the divine,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

there's always more that you can know. There's always more that can

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

be gleaned, there's always more that can be

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

imbibed, and then imbued within your soul, because Allah subhanaw

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

taala, the object of our knowledge is infinite.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

When I hit one shaker, no one can encompass

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

the knowledge of God that's impossible. So Allah subhanaw

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

taala will reveal. That's why we say Allah reveals himself or

00:05:48 --> 00:05:53

reveals his words, he chooses to reveal, sometimes he will reveal

00:05:53 --> 00:05:58

something of the value but write something of the unseen to certain

00:06:00 --> 00:06:01

people, right?

00:06:02 --> 00:06:06

Sometimes he will withhold. So if those will be Ramita human Yet

00:06:06 --> 00:06:10

Allah, Allah is the one who chooses who is going to receive

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

his Rama, His mercy and matter of how and so forth. So

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

the object and in life is to kind of work our way through these

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

veils these Hodge up and get past them and then at least we'll be

00:06:24 --> 00:06:29

dealing with hijab morani with a hijab of light and angelic light

00:06:29 --> 00:06:33

usually comes in the form not so much of singing, in kind of the

00:06:33 --> 00:06:39

volume outward sense, but something of a lack of

00:06:39 --> 00:06:45

appreciation for the higher levels that one can possibly aspire to.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:50

So sometimes, the dealer fount of the novice will find themselves in

00:06:50 --> 00:06:54

kind of somewhat of a spiritual euphoria somewhat of a Fattah,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

they think, or illumination. And they think they've reached the end

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

of the road that they have become a little bit locked up. And they

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

have become this great valley woman in a cabin. And these words

00:07:03 --> 00:07:07

of superlatives. I've shared talks about photons, and they feel like

00:07:07 --> 00:07:07

they've arrived.

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

But the true value of the last final data will never feel like

00:07:12 --> 00:07:16

they've arrived, they always feel like they are obligated. And

00:07:16 --> 00:07:17

that's why they say,

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

the beginning of the movie, there's also the hate and more

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

from the Hey, what's up, Kenny, so the Marines in the beginning,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:29

striving and doing a lot of no effort and extra prayers and so

00:07:29 --> 00:07:34

forth. And the object behind that is to get closer to Allah subhanaw

00:07:34 --> 00:07:40

taala. Right to to increase in voluntary acts and faith and Islam

00:07:40 --> 00:07:44

so that they can have a close relationship with God. And the

00:07:44 --> 00:07:48

moron or ill candidate, the one at the end is also doing that, but

00:07:48 --> 00:07:51

not so much out of seeking to capture a close relationship with

00:07:51 --> 00:07:55

Allah. But out of gratitude, out of shock, right. No one was more

00:07:55 --> 00:08:00

abundant than a banda than our Prophet SAW. I said, what he said

00:08:00 --> 00:08:03

about himself one of Qualcomm, the lead, and I am known as the most

00:08:03 --> 00:08:07

Taqwa of Allah subhanaw taala. So when he was asked why he was

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

praying, long nights, to the extent that his legs or calves

00:08:11 --> 00:08:15

would get swollen, from standing in prayer so long, and then I

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

asked him, Why do you do so when your sins have been forgiven?

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

And you have no sense to begin with? So she applied the

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

perspective of the Marine, when she asked that question, like,

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

well, we're seeking a lot. So we'll do a lot of extra work. But

00:08:29 --> 00:08:33

if you're already there, and you've arrived, then why do you do

00:08:33 --> 00:08:38

it? And then he responded, and the response of the Murad the one who

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

was sought not the one who's seeking he said after that one

00:08:40 --> 00:08:44

adventure, hoorah. And in other words, are they any unlawful

00:08:44 --> 00:08:48

shackled to a loss of Allah chose me and so this is the way that I

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

choose to thankfully not thank him and show my gratitude towards him.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:55

So that's why they say the beginning of the road kind of

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

looks like the end of the road, Omaha so let's go to see what

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

syrup ecology then he says about hardship or hijab in general.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

He says,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:13

Only a Lago dunya hijab and an F hero. Well, hello to hijab and

00:09:13 --> 00:09:14

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

the shallot alternative will be with a Lisa, men or others for

00:10:36 --> 00:10:39

and frankly we're doing yoga Who do you shout at him in a genuine

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

loving

00:10:42 --> 00:10:42

type

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

so this is

00:10:50 --> 00:10:53

21st discourse. So if you're following an English that's page

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

139

00:10:55 --> 00:11:00

He says this world is a veil over the hereafter. And the hereafter

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

is a veil over the lord of both this world

00:11:05 --> 00:11:10

and the hereafter. Every created thing must look is a veil over the

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

creator and Holic as origin.

00:11:14 --> 00:11:17

Whenever or whatever you have become attached to work presents a

00:11:17 --> 00:11:20

feel for you. So here this is the idea of attachment and detachment.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:24

If you recall from the previous sessions, another way that the

00:11:24 --> 00:11:28

ship said it I believe, when he says definitely I'm definitely on

00:11:28 --> 00:11:33

camera. In other words, finat means to be oblivious or extinct

00:11:33 --> 00:11:38

from or annihilated from that particular thing. Like it doesn't

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

exist for you. Here he's not talking about and financial

00:11:42 --> 00:11:49

history as a man he is not talking about a literal annihilation. You

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

know, some people will read the books of the Sufis and of

00:11:52 --> 00:11:57

the, of the soul. They make this mistake. And they read these

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

Ibadat they read these, this kind of specialist terminology and some

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

of these books and then then they think that it's a completely

00:12:04 --> 00:12:09

fatalistic thing. And then people, actually they are denying their

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

own existence. And they say that it's kind of antimony and Allah's

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

everywhere and that sort of thing. And that's not what this is saying

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

at all. It's talking about definite and Madami. Right?

00:12:19 --> 00:12:24

Remember, in this life, we're talking mostly about Maddie, we're

00:12:24 --> 00:12:27

talking mostly about meanings, we're talking mostly about things

00:12:27 --> 00:12:31

that are internalized via the spiritual factors faculties,

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

namely, alcohol was served as a shake, as mentioned in the hug we

00:12:35 --> 00:12:42

said is kind of the low level, spiritual essence of the human

00:12:42 --> 00:12:46

being that is able to see with his insight with his vasila you know,

00:12:46 --> 00:12:50

it's in our eyes, we're a third eye and to make a distinction

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

between truth and falsehood between heart and body, or the

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

Hulu one, you have Kahuna we have, right that's what the Quran says,

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

You do not have hearts to be off the hook that they understand with

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04

right they comprehend with they can make the distinction between

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

health and wealth. So I call it the

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

lower level spiritual essence of human being the higher level

00:13:10 --> 00:13:16

spiritual human being, that some of the vibe of the soul of like

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

Sudan ecology and me and others have used is something called a

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

sale. Right. And a serve as we've seen, translated by CD McFarland,

00:13:23 --> 00:13:24

or himolla

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

is usually translated as innermost being or innermost core is kind of

00:13:29 --> 00:13:33

used those two words interchangeably. So it's something

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

a little bit more.

00:13:37 --> 00:13:42

In intimate or little, I would say, a little bit more in tune

00:13:42 --> 00:13:47

with the divine, but it's a little bit more difficult to tap into. So

00:13:47 --> 00:13:52

it's kind of more of an essence about you, that has a direct kind

00:13:52 --> 00:13:57

of setup and discourse with the divine. Whereas the club has more

00:13:57 --> 00:14:01

of a not such a high level sort of discourse with the divine but a

00:14:01 --> 00:14:06

little bit lower that's dealing with help. And the seer is that

00:14:06 --> 00:14:09

which is dealing with a hawk is in direct communication with a

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

caller. So most people are mentioned signals, people, many

00:14:13 --> 00:14:17

people, a lot of that is veiled from them, some people don't even

00:14:17 --> 00:14:21

know you know, the verse that we mentioned a few times.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

The last session the one before that, if you then because you

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

probably have a lot of fun one customer or whoever Shaheed or one

00:14:29 --> 00:14:30

customer who wishes.

00:14:34 --> 00:14:37

Want to say if you dedicate ethical argument Canada who has

00:14:37 --> 00:14:41

been our customer OSHA is so this is the crop. It's a remembrance

00:14:41 --> 00:14:44

for the one who has a heart realizes that you have the

00:14:44 --> 00:14:48

spiritual heart, O L plus some OSHA heat, or at least you're

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

listening, you're paying attention. But if another neither

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

of those two things exist, then we could say this person is kind of

00:14:54 --> 00:14:59

in a half left or in a state of a sort of

00:15:00 --> 00:15:05

luxuriousness but not from the not from their own selves know,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:08

they're in tune with their new foods, with their passions and

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

their desires and our appetites, but they're oblivious from the

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

Divine. So it's almost like it's a reverse concept of, we want to be,

00:15:17 --> 00:15:22

you know how fernet of the worldly things and to have Jude and Bekaa

00:15:22 --> 00:15:25

existence and everlasting this with the divine with the last one

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

with Allah and our Buffy, where someone who's immersed and

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

subsumed in their passions and their appetites, and their

00:15:31 --> 00:15:37

desires, and so forth. They are busy with a shower with they're

00:15:37 --> 00:15:40

busy with appetite and passion, and you know, what they eat and

00:15:40 --> 00:15:41

what they drink and

00:15:44 --> 00:15:49

things of appetite nature. Whereas

00:15:51 --> 00:15:55

when dad was put on a farm, as we'll see later, they're the ones

00:15:55 --> 00:15:55

who

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

are not concerned with things of the appetite, but they're

00:16:00 --> 00:16:04

completely concerned, you know, they're him, is Allah subhanaw

00:16:04 --> 00:16:09

taala. Whoever makes their hem makes their concern, only for a

00:16:09 --> 00:16:11

lot than a loss, want to take care takes care of all of the other

00:16:11 --> 00:16:15

human will also that'll take care of that which is between you and

00:16:15 --> 00:16:19

alcohol, or will take care of all those other concerns, or last

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

month, that'll take care of those for you. So

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29

so he said, pay no attention then after that to creatures to this

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

world, anything apart from the Lord of truth until you come to

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

the door of the lord of truth, Allah subhanaw taala on the feet

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

of your innermost being a seer, and the genuineness of your

00:16:39 --> 00:16:43

abstinence result from all that is apart from him. Remember when we

00:16:43 --> 00:16:47

talked about Zoho, Zoho does not do anything yet, so it will call

00:16:47 --> 00:16:51

and the happy hormone, right when you say the word haptic or hot

00:16:51 --> 00:16:57

cocoa, and we say the ones who have fully realized and actualized

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

this science in terms of the rasa number one terms of how they

00:17:01 --> 00:17:03

studied it, and in terms of their own personal

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

sort of practitioner perspective and application, so they will have

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

to go and they say that healthy cook disorder lassoed.

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

The reality of zone is there no such thing as stored, what they

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

mean by this is only the Iliad, there is no renunciation, of

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

rejecting of things of the dunya. Because that of the dunya, which

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

is supposed to come to you will reach you even if you don't want

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

it to come. And that which is not supposed to reach, you will never

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

reach you no matter what you do. So the truth is, that who runs the

00:17:31 --> 00:17:36

nation is one of the heart. So the call, so does had the Climate

00:17:36 --> 00:17:43

Lobby Eric, there is no objection from the idea of having abundance

00:17:43 --> 00:17:46

in terms of dunya if Allah gives that to you, but it's the

00:17:46 --> 00:17:51

attachment to it is the problem. Right, it is the one putting one's

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

hopes and sorrows and happiness.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:59

You know, paying to how much wealth they have or how much they

00:17:59 --> 00:18:03

don't have, rather it should be a little bit caught up. It should be

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

the the,

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

to be contented with the decree of Allah subhanaw God, so when he

00:18:10 --> 00:18:13

means by here, the genuineness of your abstinence, what's the

00:18:13 --> 00:18:17

genuineness of abstinence? absord is that it's in your heart.

00:18:18 --> 00:18:23

From all that is apart from him, completely naked again. By now we

00:18:23 --> 00:18:27

write, strict or making rdn from passionate desire, appetites and

00:18:27 --> 00:18:32

connections to those things. The Willard about him, and Hira,

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

seeking his aid and his help observing his pure donation has

00:18:35 --> 00:18:39

said the clock and His foreknowledge, when your heart and

00:18:39 --> 00:18:43

your innermost being have truly arrived, and entered his presence,

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

when he has drawn you near, brought you close, and revived

00:18:48 --> 00:18:53

you, when he has given you authority over hearts, puts you in

00:18:53 --> 00:18:56

command of them and made you a physician for them. Only then must

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

you pay attention to creatures and to this world. Your attention to

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

them will now be a blessing. Where they are concerned, you're

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

receiving this word from their hands, giving it back to the poor

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

among them, and accepting your own allotted, share or listen in full,

00:19:12 --> 00:19:17

will be an act of worship, obedience and salvation. When

00:19:17 --> 00:19:20

someone can accept the world in this matter, far from being

00:19:20 --> 00:19:23

damaged by it, he is saved from it and it's a lot of chairs are

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

purified from the stench of its filth.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

So I have to be honest,

00:19:31 --> 00:19:33

I don't make any claims or anything like that. But I've read

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

several books and chapters and things dealing with this idea of

00:19:39 --> 00:19:44

dunya and how we deal with dunya. And how he explains it here is the

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

best if not one of the best ways I've seen it explained. Usually

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

people get

00:19:50 --> 00:19:53

I would say a little bit confused about normal dunya we're in and

00:19:53 --> 00:19:56

you know, but I have dunya What am I supposed to do and I want to be

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

attached to it and so forth. To me. He kind of did them all of us,

00:19:59 --> 00:19:59

right? He did kind

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

Have the epitome of what our relationship to the donor should

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

be namely Allah is gonna give it to you he's not gonna give it to

00:20:05 --> 00:20:09

you it's not really up to you but you're chasing after it is not

00:20:09 --> 00:20:14

going to make a lucky with you and you're refraining from it or or

00:20:14 --> 00:20:18

we're not seeing it we're announcing it from your part is

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

not going to be reasonable that doesn't give it to you. It's XM it

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

said because he said a Lakota will absorb a lot more valla heat

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

that's something is determined and you will get it you know and as we

00:20:29 --> 00:20:33

read in the previous discourse, it will seek you more than you seek

00:20:33 --> 00:20:37

it is going to be more intense in its seeking of you than you are

00:20:37 --> 00:20:41

seeking of it so everyone's risk is going to come to them and along

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

with that that makes of course him in Morocco

00:20:44 --> 00:20:48

in our humble Muslim and nothing political office center it is Coco

00:20:48 --> 00:20:52

momento. Right and in the Senate in other words, Allah has

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

determined in the heavens less Coco, my tomato, your interests

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

and your system that was your promise to follow up in our hello

00:20:58 --> 00:21:02

mr. Them and nothing tentacle, and it is a hot it's a truth for a

00:21:02 --> 00:21:07

lie, the oxygen you have seen. It is hot mislim and upon tentacle in

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

the same way that you are assured, we have certainty about the things

00:21:10 --> 00:21:14

that you say be certain and that level of certainty and assuredness

00:21:14 --> 00:21:19

in that your risk is coming to you. So then if it doesn't does

00:21:19 --> 00:21:21

come to you, then how are you supposed to deal with it? This is

00:21:21 --> 00:21:26

what he's explaining here. So half the sphere to the bottom right.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:30

Allah may choose you to be not just

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

tell sphere to button but he can also choose you to bring that

00:21:35 --> 00:21:39

clear that good to others. And, you know, we know we noticed this

00:21:39 --> 00:21:40

about

00:21:41 --> 00:21:45

the province our center, right there's the way I think of it is

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

wrong. As I said I'm had two main names Ahmed and Mohammed. So

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

there's an app many aspects of the province arsenal, and then there's

00:21:53 --> 00:21:59

a Mohammadi aspect of the Prophet sorcerer. So the atma de aspect of

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

the Prophet SAW Selim, which is a superlative, right, Ahmed, the one

00:22:02 --> 00:22:08

who is the one who is best in praising or it's one meeting. So

00:22:08 --> 00:22:12

your ability to praise Allah, in other words, the sphere reporting

00:22:12 --> 00:22:16

on when you know, when the Prophet SAW Selim said, Learn off six and

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

you can think about ethnic Allah sick, we cannot properly praise

00:22:19 --> 00:22:23

you, you are to be praised as you have praised yourself. That's only

00:22:23 --> 00:22:28

something masala could have said. Right. To begin with Hamas, I said

00:22:28 --> 00:22:33

I'm a prophet. So how to properly praise Allah is kind of the object

00:22:33 --> 00:22:39

of maybe the inner work that needs to be done of your soul look of

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

your wayfaring of your spiritual return of your path towards God.

00:22:43 --> 00:22:47

And then there's another aspect Allah may choose you for and Allah

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

chooses you and he sees that there has been this kind of

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

crystallization of the armor the aspect in you, then he may choose

00:22:55 --> 00:22:59

you for the Mohammedi aspect. And what doesn't hematoxylin means the

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

one who is praised.

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

Right, the one who is most praised or praised by many, or praised by

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

most, and that means now he's going to send you out to people,

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

that means that he is going to make you will see that he's going

00:23:14 --> 00:23:20

to make you a means that he has said he only saw the trade ins is

00:23:20 --> 00:23:25

gonna make you a means for the good to reach people. And that

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

means you will be praised for that. But if you are in a place of

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

Austria, right, and a place of tertiary then defeat that comes in

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

the next discourse, right? That you're not in need of people's

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

praise, or in need of their condemnation or indifference is

00:23:40 --> 00:23:45

such a thing. And Allah has given you this blessing in your heart,

00:23:45 --> 00:23:49

then that good will reach other people. And that's one of the

00:23:49 --> 00:23:54

straw I think one of the secrets of this Deen. Is that the way that

00:23:54 --> 00:23:58

the dowel works most of the time, is that Allah subhanaw taala does

00:23:58 --> 00:24:03

it on the hands and through the hearts of people. Yes, many people

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

might actually read the Quran and almost half and then they feel

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

inspired and may have never even met a Muslim and they decide to

00:24:09 --> 00:24:13

accept Islam and that does happen. But in terms of therapy, right

00:24:13 --> 00:24:19

terms of people becoming better Muslims and better sorts of

00:24:19 --> 00:24:23

believers and practicing believers and forming communities while

00:24:23 --> 00:24:26

that's all human activity. And for that human activity and for those

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

communities to form you're going to need people who are of this

00:24:30 --> 00:24:34

caliber, you know, Muslims that we can think of as more complete

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

perhaps than others and these more complete Muslims that we refer to

00:24:37 --> 00:24:40

by different names, whether we call them and we'll call them

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

again, whether you call them an LDS whether we call them in a

00:24:42 --> 00:24:46

cabinet, similar meanings whether you call them as so head one bed,

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

zero heads or the or Abed, the ones who worship Allah. These are

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

these people need to be in,

00:24:54 --> 00:24:57

in every community. And I remember I once asked one of my teachers

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

and I said you

00:25:00 --> 00:25:04

Is it almost like a felt cafe or communal obligation that there

00:25:04 --> 00:25:06

should be some people who just dedicate their lives to the care

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

of Allah and praying for other people and supplicating for them?

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

And, you know, kind of being the spiritual anchors of a community?

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

And then he replied to me said, Yes, some people have said that.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

That doesn't mean that we all live our lives and kind of just go to

00:25:21 --> 00:25:24

the mountains and pray and do thicket and stuff like that. But I

00:25:24 --> 00:25:28

think there were people who are in our community definitely exist

00:25:28 --> 00:25:32

today, and certainly more so in the past, who were inspired to do

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

that. And, you know, love with those meetings in their hearts.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:40

And it could be that though I have one person that affliction is

00:25:40 --> 00:25:44

spared from whole communities, it could be the one person in the

00:25:44 --> 00:25:46

mechanist, the one person in the

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

in the particular gathering who's got is Mr. Jet, whose thought is

00:25:51 --> 00:25:53

answered by Allah subhanaw taala. And it could be the person sitting

00:25:53 --> 00:25:56

all the way in the back that no one's paying attention to, doesn't

00:25:56 --> 00:25:59

have to be the person in the front who's talking. So one of the

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

things also that Allah has hidden and talked about this previously

00:26:02 --> 00:26:06

is that he's hidden these types of people, amongst everyone else. And

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

there's a certain type of whiny who

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

person of God who doesn't seek accreditation or recognition or,

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

or to be lauded or to be pointed out to people, but they're content

00:26:18 --> 00:26:23

to live what seems to be like a fairly normal or fairly

00:26:23 --> 00:26:27

unremarkable life, but their life is anything but unremarkable.

00:26:27 --> 00:26:30

Maybe from the outside their life is unremarkable, but from the

00:26:30 --> 00:26:33

inside the spiritual life that they live it's quite extraordinary

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

so that's what the shift kind of says right after that.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:43

When he talks about Yeah.

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

I can find you

00:27:00 --> 00:27:05

so anyway, in English, he said, St. ship with Is it smart Alabama,

00:27:05 --> 00:27:08

in the faces of the saints, and yet, where it is recognized by

00:27:08 --> 00:27:12

people have intuitive discernment as a philosopher, science he shall

00:27:12 --> 00:27:14

not speak of Saint chip, not the tongue.

00:27:15 --> 00:27:21

Anyone seeking true success for that should humbly submit his own

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

self and his property to the lord of truth, Alonso Jaya, and extract

00:27:25 --> 00:27:28

his heart from creatures on this world, as the hair is extracted

00:27:28 --> 00:27:33

from DOE, or yogurt, likewise from the hereafter, and likewise from

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

everything apart from the Lord of truth, then you will give

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

everything that has a rightful claim it's due in his presence,

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

you will consume your own allotted portions of the this world and the

00:27:43 --> 00:27:47

hereafter while you are at his door. And the two of them, ie the

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

world and the hereafter are standing by as servants. Do not

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

consume your share of the world while it is seated, and you are

00:27:55 --> 00:27:55

standing.

00:27:57 --> 00:28:00

You must consume it at the king's door while you are seated in the

00:28:00 --> 00:28:04

world of standing with the tray on its head, serving anyone who's

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

stationed at the door of Hawk as urgent and humiliating anyone who

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

is stationed at its own door, consumed as a tribute to the

00:28:11 --> 00:28:17

boundless wealth and glory of the Lord of truth, our as object. So,

00:28:17 --> 00:28:19

in other words, make the dunya your handmade and not the other

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

way around.

00:28:21 --> 00:28:26

Don't submit to the dunya but a lot of talks about how there's

00:28:26 --> 00:28:27

this sphere in the Quran

00:28:29 --> 00:28:34

saccharina coolship. And he has made available to us and he has

00:28:34 --> 00:28:39

put it you know, in a manner that we can utilize it and we can bring

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

good and we can have this meaning of a star model comfier right

00:28:42 --> 00:28:47

istimewa means that we build up and we develop a developing a way

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

that is in a manner that's commensurate with with the will

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

and the commandments of the last part of the island, not

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

development that we talked about today. Right now development where

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

we we destroy nature and we destroy the environment and we

00:29:00 --> 00:29:05

destroy people's souls with just blatant and ugly and soul sapping

00:29:06 --> 00:29:10

capitalism and narcissism. You know, all of this that's happening

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

around us. It's what we've sowed, we've done it to ourselves, the

00:29:13 --> 00:29:16

outer facade of the battery battery microservice ad, you know,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:21

this facade, this corruption has come about by what we have sold,

00:29:21 --> 00:29:26

were brought upon ourselves. And the beautiful thing or the

00:29:26 --> 00:29:30

redeeming thing is that this can be reversed. We can still reverse

00:29:30 --> 00:29:32

it, it's not too late. And at the very least, we can reverse it

00:29:32 --> 00:29:36

within ourselves. And you know, one of the most

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

special and rewarded types of very bad is one where you are doing it

00:29:43 --> 00:29:48

and people are laughing on it. Or often of it. You do it but most

00:29:48 --> 00:29:50

people are not even aware of it and don't even think about it.

00:29:51 --> 00:29:51

When

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

when the province I send them was asked about the month of Sharon,

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

why do you have so much in it?

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

One of the answers was, well, that's a month that falls between

00:30:02 --> 00:30:05

larger than Ramadan. And people don't really pay much attention to

00:30:05 --> 00:30:09

it. So I wanted to make it here of it, I wanted to give it live by

00:30:09 --> 00:30:13

fasting in it. And also the similar concept that we know about

00:30:14 --> 00:30:15

praying during the night.

00:30:16 --> 00:30:18

The prophets are said one of the things that he said, When he

00:30:18 --> 00:30:23

entered into into, into Medina have three things one of them, the

00:30:23 --> 00:30:23

third thing that he said

00:30:25 --> 00:30:28

was son will pm when that's when Yeah, that will regenerate the

00:30:28 --> 00:30:28

salah

00:30:29 --> 00:30:30

or thermal

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

worship on Sunday, when that's when you have to regenerate happy

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

salah or chemical source, feed people.

00:30:39 --> 00:30:42

spread peace, give them greetings, be nice to people be gentle with

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

them, and pray in the night when everyone is asleep. That sort of

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

agenda we said, then you enter paradise and peacefully in a

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

peaceful way. So this is kind of the main hedge this is the

00:30:53 --> 00:30:59

methodology of profits. So I sell them to have this

00:31:00 --> 00:31:05

sphere button and to put the dunya at our disposal to use it for our

00:31:05 --> 00:31:11

use, but in the use, right? That brings good that brings here that

00:31:11 --> 00:31:15

brings Baraka that brings beauty, not in of itself and then it

00:31:15 --> 00:31:16

overcomes you.

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

So I want to move down to looks like we're not going to get to the

00:31:23 --> 00:31:26

22nd discourse after all, but

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

we'll have to read this one.

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

Might as well read the rest of it. So he says the people of the Lord

00:31:37 --> 00:31:41

Allah are happy to accept bankruptcy in this world for the

00:31:41 --> 00:31:45

sake of a lot of data. And to be drawn close to him is more

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

pleasing to them than the rewards of the hereafter. They seek

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

nothing from Allah apart from Allah. Okay, this is a theme we've

00:31:51 --> 00:31:55

seen before seeking Allah for the sake of Allah, they know that the

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

things of this world have been allotted, so they have abandoned

00:31:58 --> 00:32:02

the quest for them. They also know that the degrees of the hereafter

00:32:02 --> 00:32:05

and the bliss of paradise have been allotted. So they have given

00:32:05 --> 00:32:09

up seeking for this, and working to earn it they wish for nothing

00:32:09 --> 00:32:12

apart from the countenance of the lord of truth. When they enter

00:32:12 --> 00:32:16

Paradise, they will not open their eyes until they see the light of

00:32:16 --> 00:32:19

the face of the Lord of truth, I will help as a virgin, right,

00:32:19 --> 00:32:23

because that's really what they're seeking. You know, similarly, when

00:32:23 --> 00:32:27

you enter into Mecca, and you enter into the huddle, you should

00:32:27 --> 00:32:30

actually divert your gaze from everything until you're the first

00:32:30 --> 00:32:33

thing that your case falls upon is the cap. Right and you know, the

00:32:33 --> 00:32:38

Kaaba is symbolic. And the Kalba represents the the huddle to

00:32:38 --> 00:32:42

Divine Presence. Allah is not in the cab or anything like that. But

00:32:43 --> 00:32:47

since we're in a realm of mining, right, we're in the realm of

00:32:47 --> 00:32:51

meanings, then this very simple structure kind of denotes that

00:32:51 --> 00:32:54

it's the Qibla of our prayer, without a lot of logical right put

00:32:54 --> 00:32:57

Allah in your lives. In other words, nothing between you and

00:32:57 --> 00:33:00

Allah subhanaw taala in the direction of the Qibla so we're

00:33:00 --> 00:33:05

giving the direction because as human beings, it's just perhaps

00:33:05 --> 00:33:07

too hard to fathom the

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

the lack of similar to Allah subhanaw taala has with all

00:33:11 --> 00:33:15

creative beings, but as a Rockman as a mercy for us. We're given the

00:33:15 --> 00:33:19

direction of Africa and we're given the harvest specifically as

00:33:19 --> 00:33:25

a direction by which we can direct our gaze and direct our divine

00:33:25 --> 00:33:29

supplications and direct our prayer. So that we may have this

00:33:29 --> 00:33:30

communal

00:33:31 --> 00:33:33

this commune with a loss

00:33:34 --> 00:33:36

so similarly,

00:33:37 --> 00:33:42

we should not be diverted either by obviously dunya and that's

00:33:42 --> 00:33:47

darkness. right those are Hojo balloon man yet if we are to hear

00:33:47 --> 00:33:51

when he's talking about divided by diverted by ephedra, which means

00:33:51 --> 00:33:56

that you become consumed with like, Jana and how to get to it.

00:33:56 --> 00:34:00

And you know, how many hacer net did I do and it becomes for some

00:34:00 --> 00:34:05

people, it becomes a numbers game. And one of our teachers also said,

00:34:05 --> 00:34:08

Sheikh Mohammed Javi, the hola that sometimes the numbers can be

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

a hijab. Numbers can be hijab. So if you start calculating in your

00:34:12 --> 00:34:16

head, oh, I prayed in Mecca. And that's like, 100,000 prayers, like

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

anywhere else. I prayed five prayers. So that's 500,000 right

00:34:19 --> 00:34:22

there. So that's, you know, several centuries of prayers. I

00:34:22 --> 00:34:26

just got that and put in one day, so I should have a very high kind

00:34:26 --> 00:34:32

of bank account in agenda because I did all of these extra things.

00:34:32 --> 00:34:36

And what people don't realize is, for most of us, the vast majority

00:34:36 --> 00:34:39

of us, our net worth will are going to be Joab

00:34:40 --> 00:34:44

what does that mean? No effort. Joab because nephila

00:34:46 --> 00:34:50

techbook Matthew fault our Mayan postman, I thought I was so much

00:34:50 --> 00:34:53

fun. So that what you missed in your father Your obligatory prayer

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

because you weren't focused, you're concentrating you didn't

00:34:55 --> 00:34:59

have a little with Allah subhanaw taala it doesn't count for you.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

doesn't count against you, per se, you've done your work if you've

00:35:02 --> 00:35:06

done your obligatory act, but did you get Did you reap the full

00:35:06 --> 00:35:10

reward or the full benefit? Not necessarily. So then no effort,

00:35:10 --> 00:35:14

then plugging the holes that one finds in the fall. So if you start

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

thinking like, Oh, I'm building up, and I'm counting, so in a

00:35:18 --> 00:35:24

sense, you're seeking of the pleasures, right of paradise can

00:35:24 --> 00:35:26

be diverting you from what the real thing is.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:30

So that's still a type of hijab, but we call that hijab, Noorani,

00:35:31 --> 00:35:34

hijab Noorani. It's available light, because even if that's what

00:35:34 --> 00:35:37

you are, and you die in that state, you're going to paradise in

00:35:37 --> 00:35:38

sha Allah you die believer.

00:35:39 --> 00:35:43

But there are trajet there are hierarchies, the highest one is

00:35:43 --> 00:35:47

not to be diverted by dunya. And not to be diverted by ethical, but

00:35:47 --> 00:35:51

to be completely focused on what will walk the countenance of God

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

or the Godhead or Allah subhanaw taala himself.

00:35:55 --> 00:35:58

So then he says, You must love detachment that should eat and

00:35:58 --> 00:36:02

solitude to freed if a person's heart is not detached from each

00:36:02 --> 00:36:05

other right from creatures and material concerns as bad. He

00:36:05 --> 00:36:08

cannot travel the high road of the prophets and they'll be human. The

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

city hold the champions of truth and the righteous Asana until he

00:36:12 --> 00:36:15

is satisfied with a tiny fraction of this world, and surrenders the

00:36:15 --> 00:36:19

greater part to the hand of destiny. Do not get involved in

00:36:19 --> 00:36:22

the quest for much because you will perish. If much does come to

00:36:22 --> 00:36:26

you from the Lord of truth, not of your own volition, you will be

00:36:26 --> 00:36:27

entitled to it.

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

And that's what we said earlier.

00:36:34 --> 00:36:38

It is important hustling bustling, used to say, or the lawn, preach

00:36:38 --> 00:36:42

to the people with your knowledge as well as your speech. Oh,

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

preacher was admonished the people with the purity of your innermost

00:36:45 --> 00:36:49

being a seer and the devotional top of your heart, do not address

00:36:49 --> 00:36:57

them with a refined facade over an ugly conscience or city. Right? So

00:36:57 --> 00:37:00

not just an outward aspect, but that will also can be from the

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

inward you can lead people to Allah bring people to Allah, with

00:37:03 --> 00:37:08

your hat with your state, the Lord of truth and ascribe faith, amen

00:37:08 --> 00:37:11

in the hearts of the believers and what we mean before He created

00:37:11 --> 00:37:16

them, this pure demon or sabitha, and it's not permissible to stick

00:37:16 --> 00:37:18

with pure demons or to depend upon it, but it is.

00:37:20 --> 00:37:23

One must arrive take risks and make efforts that is the Edit

00:37:23 --> 00:37:28

advocate with God. One must strive to gain Faith and Conviction econ

00:37:28 --> 00:37:32

certainty, conviction, one must expose oneself to the fragrant

00:37:32 --> 00:37:36

breezes I've never had of Allah subhanaw taala and be constantly

00:37:36 --> 00:37:39

in attendance at his door. Our hearts must strive to acquire

00:37:39 --> 00:37:43

faith, then perhaps Allah subhanaw taala will give it to us without

00:37:43 --> 00:37:46

exhortation, exertion, or toil.

00:37:47 --> 00:37:50

If there is still potential if there is a

00:37:52 --> 00:37:58

Nia and the motivation and the sincerity, then you will you will

00:37:58 --> 00:38:01

find in your life that the things where you were sincere in will

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

come much more easier to you, even if you didn't do a lot of outward

00:38:05 --> 00:38:09

work to get to it, or the concept of I work very hard and then I'll

00:38:09 --> 00:38:11

reap the rewards is something that

00:38:12 --> 00:38:17

is not always as it seems, sometimes hard work happens, you

00:38:17 --> 00:38:21

know, in the inside Athens within Jad neffs as we read in previous

00:38:23 --> 00:38:27

discourse or session about Jihad about you know, you had an Akbar,

00:38:27 --> 00:38:31

or the manager had Assad Akbar, so the inward fight.

00:38:36 --> 00:38:39

So then he finishes off by saying, Have you no sense of shame a Lord,

00:38:39 --> 00:38:42

the Lord of truth. Isagen qualifies himself with attributes

00:38:42 --> 00:38:46

if that which he finds pleasing to himself, would you interpret them

00:38:46 --> 00:38:49

away and refuse to apply them to him? Is what was good enough for

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

your predecessors, the Companions, the Sahaba, and the success was

00:38:52 --> 00:38:56

Debbie Roy, not good enough for you. Our Lord is upon the throne

00:38:56 --> 00:38:59

and Asha as he said, with no question of anthropomorphism. That

00:38:59 --> 00:39:03

should be divesting of attribute started or materialization or have

00:39:03 --> 00:39:07

seen all lots of statements help us to succeed and keep us away

00:39:07 --> 00:39:11

from vertical Tada innovation, or attina for junior high sometime.

00:39:14 --> 00:39:14
