We've heard from a lot of companies and I head over I mean,
along the sudden you're sending robotic arm a brochure rocketed. I
mean, so you know, Hammerberg Abdillah. While early he was how
he was worthy to monitor that we had the standard is on the TV,
whatever, they omit the interlock, and I imagine they thought they
were gonna hurry her lawyers on her in the holodeck, from my
mother. So I'm glad to continue to read from the work of CT, why
didn't have a cover energy learning are the one who I've had
what Bernie was labeled by many sublime revelation and the divine
merciful outpourings. And as we have mentioned, this is a set of
62 sermons or lectures or discourses that set up with other
deep learning gave in sixth century Baghdad between the ages
of 545 and 46, of the hijab.
And we had reached the 23rd This course find this one.
She talks about solder and, or the rust of the hearts. And we've seen
this metaphor used before. And that
hearts spiritual hearts that is, in other words, the real you your
spiritual essence, needs a constant stream of diet, you know,
like, just like your physical body can't go a day without, you know,
having nutrition and drinking water and so forth, and it needs
certain nutrients. And if there is
a shortcoming in one side of nutrients, you don't get enough
vitamin A, well, then boosting your vitamin C is not going to
alleviate the issue of the vitamin egg. So our spiritual hearts also
are the same. So we also need spiritual nutrition. And spiritual
mission of the heart is kind of like a diet, there are things that
you refrain from doing. And then there are things that you want to
engage in doing in order to be in that space. And when we find that,
ta, when obedience is difficult, when we find it's hard to get a
professional prayer, and we kind of have to push ourselves a little
bit to pull ourselves off the couch to go pray at the beginning
of the time. Or we have to kind of work a lot in our mental space to
be ready to fast the next day and things like this.
That's an indication generally, not always, but generally that we
need to do a little bit more work on our spiritual heart. Because if
Allah subhanaw taala wanted to facilitate those things for us,
then we would feel
that kind of into help, we would feel inspired, and it'd be easier.
And the Quran describes the prayer as a Kabira. In the other
question, it's a burden built out of flushing, so one of the
I met, one of the signs that your spiritual art is in a good place,
if you're a bad if you're rites of worship, does not do not feel like
a burden to you something that perhaps you may even look forward
to, and so forth. So,
however, there is certain, I would say,
aspects of even deep in all those found out and might take away from
you live, literally bear that you might take away from you, that
inspiration and that satisfaction and longing for the event that the
rites of worship, sometimes in order so that you may seek
something higher, right, which would be a lost battle. And we
had, we didn't read the section last session. But there was a
section in there that the chef talked about what smash all the
shuffle. In other words, something is not actually going to be a
positive thing who's going to be negative, if a distraction from a
lot of data and even your prayer could distract you from a lot your
fasting could disrupt your follow, which kind of sounds very
counterintuitive and, and very strange. However, what he means by
that is, if now instead of worshipping Allah, you're
worshiping the prayer or you're worshiping fasting, or you're
worshiping your own gratification or your own pleasure in, in
performing acts of worship, rather than worshiping Allah subhanaw
taala. And so the complete believer is not just the sunshine
delivered, not just uncertain days. When things are easy, and
they feel inspired to do it and they feel they're going to do it
and then when they're not inspired
And then they have less inclination and less
inspiration to kind of go and do those things. So sometimes the
last one with Allah, it's a benefit to you. It's a it's an AMA
it's a blessing that for a temporary period of time or
however long it be on have a short it may be that we kind of lose out
a little bit and that's for a lesson on how to bring you to
closer to him. The all of his aspects, right via his Gemini
attributes, as well as jewelry, accessories, your doctorates of
beauty, as well as the attributes of majesty. That's that happens.
But most of the time, I would say it would be case by case basis
usually be because
you may
want to do that better, but you're also doing a lot of other things
that are kind of counter active to it. You know, you know, when they
say a lot pharmacists are the certain drugs that you can't take
both of them at the same time. They call that counter
counter contradiction. I don't remember it is the pharmacist
people out there, they know we're talking about. So you can't mix
for example, a bad and Salah and fasting and prayer. And then at
the same time, you know, as soon as you're done, you go and open
your Netflix and then you see, you know, all sorts of images and, and
words being used and, and people doing all sorts of things that it
will real life, you would never look at that, but somehow justify
it when it's a simulated thing. But then those images enter us.
And those words enter into us. So, you know, the font of the heart
the strokes or heart. Contraindications, yes. Like you
know, contraindications, so
okay, they erased it, that's fine. Maybe that's what so the, the,
these images enter into your heart and then because you didn't stop
them from the guards, you know, the Think of the heart like a
palace and you have guards at the gates. So
that means
they come in, and so your heart then there's this competition
inside between
light and newer and pristine
connection with a loss found without it, but then there is an
IVR, which is kind of the general word they use for anything except
the last vowel or sometimes the word Seiwa. Right? So it means
call them so Allah so it means literally, other than so the other
dens are the others are the only augmented Xia right things that
distract from the most vital data, if they're mixing, and like
Contra indicated, right, so there's a contrary indication of
those images and those sounds and those words and so forth coming in
the heart at the same time, and they're competing with, you know,
the, the pristine and the beautiful, and the
you know, and the light, so
who's going to defeat who who's going to have the upper hand,
certainly,
what we call the where the debt, right, that are generally the
outcomes of the world, which means the hearts
touch the, you know, the hearts,
nutrition. So that's weird, that can be Quran that could be
fasting, that could be the fibers could be thicker, could be many
things.
So that's the hearts nutrition, and then what may come out of that
which is fitness, right? Going back to the physical example.
Here it would be spiritual fitness, in terms of the heart
would be unwary that which would be indications of spiritual
fitness. So the way the that are like openings you get and
understandings and,
you know, inspirations to do certain thing and inclination to
think about something. And as I said, I think a few sessions back,
sometimes this won't even travel to the subconscious. So the you
will find that you have basically kind of three levels of
consciousness in dunya. So one when you're fully awakened, they
call that and Jacoba. So you're wide awake,
and not under the influence of any sort of, you know, integrating or
anything like that. And
the second one is when you're asleep, right? And this is called
a no right? So the no means you're asleep and it could be deep sleep
and this is when they call they talked about REM sleep rapid eye
movement. When you kind of deep sleep and you know, you're
breathing in a different way. And this is when most of the time
people can see certain things in their dreams. You know they have
whether it's other
Anam, whether it's just kind of, you know, a melange of things that
they were thinking about or could be wrote. Yeah. And when we say,
Yeah,
you know,
with not the tap. So what you have aligned means to see that Mr.
Bucha team is to see something with your eyes and what elephant
Matsuura,
it means that you see something in your dream. So then those can be
true, right. And they can be also, real customers worry that they
could be part of the way that the inspirations that you get even in
a dream state, then there's an in between state
where you're not really asleep, and you're not really awake. And
you can, this is actually a very, very, some of the Sufi masters of
talking about this. This is a powerful state, it's called
sometimes referred to as the admin method, right? Because there's
kind of a clarity that you don't have when you're awake, because
you're distracted by your essential sensory perceptions of
things. And
you are also,
you know, busy with that, and then in the sleep state,
it's like your soul has gone somewhere else. So you're not
really kind of anchored
in terms of clarity. But when you're in the state in between,
which is when we said, then there are things that you know, seem
clearer and
have a more of a piercing insight about it, and so forth. So, when I
handed him a concave down syndrome, how would you see.
So,
as a result,
these three levels of consciousness, when you see that
the vicar right, the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala, you will
begin to see the effects likely in the other two rounds, especially
between wakeful state and sleeping, you will begin to see
the difference there. So if that state of yours and we all know
this, we're about to go to sleep at night, and then our mind
wanders, right and it can wander about normal things but if the
wandering of the mind and begins to have more of a piercing
clarity, then that's a good sign that the, you know, your event
that and your ticket and things are kind of having a good effect
on you.
But if it's a lot of kind of, you know, for days filled with anxiety
and panic and
diversion and distraction than likely you will find your element
we said you will find your, your realm of between sleep and
wakefulness also confused as such. So these again, they're not
providing the theory that as we say they're not like universal
principles, but the kinds of things people have experienced. So
the evidence for that was more experiential even though there may
be I'd have to do some research about that. But I think there are
some indications also in the Sunnah about certainly about true
dreams, the Prophet SAW said him said a little different man and
follow any fitness shape on a diet MSL will be overseas me in the
dream has truly seen me because it Satan cannot take on my form. So
if you are fortunate enough to see the Prophet SAW I said that would
be a dream you will know it for certain
inshallah
So, let's look at the text.
So, he says anonymity sorry settlement I will call it natural
Kaluga letters dot when Gina

inconvenience that often
to the Oracle Sahiba who will also finally start selling oil and
Takata in a solid user will be bored he I knew

be here as urgently
so the promise are seven was reported to have said this page
142 Those who are following along these hearts are getting very
rusty from the Polish they need is the recitation of the Quran. The
remembrance of death and attendance at sessions of
remembrance. What are the what are the other synthetic? The heart
then shifts because I'd say the heart does get rusty. And unless
it's only takes the corrective measures described by the prophets
I seldom it will turn completely black. It will turn black because
of its remoteness from the light. It will turn black because of his
love of this world and involvement in it without pious, pious
restraint which he describes as what are sometimes also translated
as scrupulousness.
Because as we said in the last session, one is not avoiding the
Haram that's expected, but it's avoiding some of the halyard in
order to stay away from
So environment in it without pious restraint or whatever, because
when a person's heart is controlled by love of this world,
he loses his pious restraint or his water and accumulates worldly
things, both lawful and unlawful. Right? So it's not like the heart
that's not pious is just interested in having things that
are haram, but it doesn't have what he calls her attorneys,
right? It doesn't make a distinction.
It's the thing that is driving more is its appetite and it's a
quest to dissociate that particular appetite. Rather than
thinking about well, is this the right thing to do? And if it's
just Okay, hello, but is it going to have a good effect? In terms of
my heart? Will it add rust to my heart? Or is it going to help me
to remove some of that rust of the heart?
So he loses his ability to discriminate right what we say you
may use in this process of acquisition, he loses sense of
shame before his Lord as Magette finishes goes on to say a phone

As you know, Southern Rubicon with the Indian philosopher malaco will
enter the Aluko manner then
we'll also have our Bible of the E the AI level law Lama I should
have the stamina of people rock dakumar soldier the fuselage

because before our second woman has called will be called before
they ship Exactly. And resell who then will call be whatever you
want. There when others demand lower is in the context of all the
animosity or how to come to Toba. These are the more I'm going to
have the answer just which one would you have thought about?
Don't laugh with Allah, I think it's a regular weekly meeting the
Tollywood America xojo was shuffled out to other country
couldn't you ask them Omer Allah, he has no agenda, whether you
should look for other Hunter life over there, you don't do that.
So much of the shift is his words oftentimes come in German, you
know, like, he says, in a few words, but kind of, he is able to
capture the the essence of you know, what would seem to be kind
of a more complicated subject or spiritual aspect of the heart, but
he, he captures it. So then he says, take instruction from your
prophet, so I send them and clear the rust from your hearts to the
treatment he has prescribed for you. If one of you had a disease,
and some physician described a remedy for it, your life would not
be comfortable until you applied it. Right? Even if that
dilemma, even if that medicine was bitter, right, we take the bitter
medicine, we know we don't like it. And you know, and think about
Subhanallah people look up the local go through treatments for
cancer, and there's chemotherapy and not not a fun thing to go
through.
And even the battery of tests that people do regularly, like
colonoscopies and mammograms, and all these sorts of things, but
they're thinking about, well, the alternative is worse, right to be
sick with these things. And so they're not comfortable unless
they go through these, these treatments, no matter how bitter
it would be. But yet, when it comes to our spiritual hearts, we
always want to take the easy road, we have a big apprehension about
what we would deem to be something that is better, but in order to
achieve,
you know, a type of discipline and I think a lot of the issues that
we face are, are a direct result of lack of, of discipline, so lack
of discipline when it comes to the Shediac. And following its
commands and avoiding its prohibitions. And I think also
lack of kind of a spiritual discipline, and the Delenn, right
to be constant and consistent in a particular approach to life,
especially our spiritual life. We want instant gratification. And if
we don't get those instant results, then we kind of lose
hope. And then we, you know,
move on, try something else. You know, try something else. Try
something else, and you find people who just jump from one
thing to the next.
And our pictures told us men Sabbath and Ebert and Sabbath and
what over Sebastiani, whoever plans firmly now that's right,
then we'll grow. But if you're kind of jumping around, all over
the place and looking for the next great thing, even though you have
not just the next great thing, the perpetually great thing, in the
teachings of this beautiful being of our Prophet promises are so
loose and nothing is always there. Everything is there.
You need not look anywhere else you're interested in,
in, you know, in mindfulness and meditation and
you know, 12 steps to you know, do this great thing and all that sort
of stuff that, you know, it's kind of a popular genre now.
That's, it's all there in the dean. It's all there and just
have, you have the most powerful sort of meditation and mindfulness
in the Dhikr of Allah subhanaw taala. And especially the people
who, you know, kind of canonized a little bit some of the practices
of spiritual practices and to solve, they have a very
sophisticated way of, you know, I've treating a lot of these
maladies in terms of the thicker that they do, and the overall and,
you know, and even certain conceptualizations that you're
supposed to think about when you're, when you're doing it, and
stuff and stuff like that. So it's all there. Unfortunately, as we've
said, a few times before, a lot of this particular desert discipline,
the science has been become marginalized by a few narrow
minded short sighted, reactive, reductive interpretations of
Islam, and which kind of has ruined it for large numbers of
people. But in sha Allah,
you know, this deal is all IP, it's, it's going to come back and
it's going to,
it's going to be in the forefront, and it's going to have this Avada
and it's that the question is, do we avail ourselves of that? Or do
we not, and just looking at events around us, and how things are
unfolding and all these things that are happening, one gets a
sense that there we are on the precipice of major change, you
know, not just kind of a major change that's happening rapidly in
the way that people live in there. I think also in their priorities,
and
you know, this pandemic, it's, it's not going to be just a drop
in the hat, I think it's going to be something that there'll be
other things that happen after this. And may Allah protect us
from from that. But we have the keys to, to protection, and we
have the keys to safety, and we have the keys to happiness, we
just have to accept them and turn the lock as it were.
So he said, as we said, if one of you had a disease and some
physician prescribed remedy for it, your life would not be
comfortable until you applied it. So be attentive to your Lord and
soldiers in your private moments. And when you're in public
situations, set him before your eyes, so that you see him that you
seem to see him for even if you do not see him right this is from the
Hadith that they said that would look and that cattle off in them
to contour off and now worship Allah as if you see him any Muslim
and shahada and if you do not see him know that he sees you Jani
mahkamah, calm and maraca or the no calm a vigilance
setting before your eyes so that you seem to see him for even if
you're not see him, he showed us to you. He who practices
remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala, with his heart is the true
practitioner of remembrance of zakat. While anyone who does not
remember with his heart is no thick. The tongue is the pageboy
or the will M like the handmaiden of the heart, and its subordinate.
So it should be the heart that is telling the tongue make it an
ideal situation. But in the beginning of the road, the
beginning of the path, it will be the author of the intellect
saying, Okay, say subhanallah, say 100 Didn't say the hotel hotel
will say husband alone, and we're looking, say, the last Sunday, I'm
the resource and so forth. Because it's saying, you know, it's kind
of like, the kid at the beginning of the path is, against us a
medical analogy, it's, you know, applying, we call a defibrillator,
as I said, all right. For the reader, the thing that you
electricity, and then you tried to give the heart
a boost, right, so to revive it so so to revive the heart, yes, we
work with the tongues, and maybe the heart is, you know, not quite
listening in the beginning. But once you get that steady
cardiac rate, that steady heartbeat that looks like a sinus
curve, and then it's, it's, you know, it's worth functioning
properly, then it will be the one that will tell the tongue, you
know, I need to get out my message I need you to do what I wanted you
to do here which is to make the cut of a loss panel can
say it hasn't. May Allah give you Chifa and I'll give you a
successful procedure. On the 15th of April there are lots of values
you Schieffer gives you lots and gives you ease in sha Allah, Allah
so you must then he then he goes on to say, you must always hear
them alive. Right and while thinking the
Arabic
you know was
here cerium after Rahim Allah He did say says you must always go to
your sermons because the heart turns blind or is absent from
sermons.
Sermons is a translation is legitimate. But in my wilds, I
think has a broader meaning than you
last sermon of a wise, you know, like a teacher. So kind of means
admonition in general. And, and more wise, well, you can take it
from anything.
Some of them even, they would hear like the bird chirping in the
sparrow singing in the nightingale, and they would have
almost like, you know, a euphoric
reaction to that, you know, like a high state that they go into,
because they are reminded right, it triggers something of the
Divine. And
so, one of the signs of the people of Allah subhanaw taala. And this
is mentioned in Manasa city and also by how do we learn sorry, is
that you take the wild, where you can find it, do not let the
shortcoming or perceived deficiency of the wise, you know,
the one who's speaking, deter you from getting something out of it,
right, because now, you're seeing that this person, even though they
may not be presenting it or not be practicing it 100% in their own
right, but 100 of them are
creatures, creation, creation, they are the pens of the heart,
they are the pens of the real. So it's like, ALLAH is talking to
you. So don't let you know that chef, I don't like him because he
you know, it doesn't trim his beard, right, or he doesn't do
this. And then we get, we let these little things kind of get in
the way of, you know, having some, some benefit we can derive from
it. So, you know, the people of Allah and Allah, they derive
benefit from everything, right? From the sound of the forklift in
the warehouse, from
the bird chirping from the, you know, the blade of grass that, you
know, moves very gently back and forth. And that's why you find
some of the great poets like Mona imagery like in Rumi, and in
Nefarian. And even the ones who are not really associated with
kind of Sufi background, like even an internet be and others are
here, they, you know, they picked up on things like this, they see
signs, and yet it was said that other people shaking their head,
versus a sign of everything.
That is a
sign up for one. So there's a sign and everything that's a sign up
for one.
Then he says the real meaning happy club of repentance. Tober is
respect for the commandment of the Lord of truth and sojourn under
all circumstances. This is why certain wise man,
Rahim Allah said, well, goodness can be summed up in two words,
respect or tal theme, right? Which is even more than respect. I think
it was its reverence veneration for the commandment of Allah
subhanaw taala and sympathy shefa for his creatures.
If someone does not respect the Command of Allah subhanaw taala
and is not sympathetic, or I would say compassionate. There's might
be been work
towards Allah's creatures. He is distant from Allah. Yeah. And he
had a kidney Mattoon gem alemannia. Right, this is a
word that is
you know, it's so short, the sentences itself, but the, what
the meaning kind of sums it up beautifully. And that's the whole
thing. There is, you know, and here he's describing the two
relationships, the vertical and the horizontal. So the vertical
with the last panel to Allah, and then the horizontal with
everything else. And so the fruits of your vertical relationship with
Seema, right that should come out in empathy and sympathy and
compassion and in
wanting good for others and having a good opinion of others. All of
those things are a result of thumb or a fruit of having a good
relationship with a spouse. If you don't have those things and you
think have a good relationship with Allah, and it makes you cross
and it makes you very judgmental, it makes you sanctimonious and
makes you have all these pretends and it makes you you know, wish
that Allah would smite people down in front of you because they're
not doing in the way that you think they should be doing.
Then you're doing it wrong.
You're doing your slam wrong, you're doing your deen wrong,
you're doing it life wrong. Because certainly that wasn't the
way of the province of Christendom. You didn't ask Allah
to smite people down or didn't even have that sentiment in his
heart. Anyone he was even offered that he refused. He said algebra
and yet has been asked every minute we let I'm hopeful that
those who come from them for the progeny will be the ones who
believe in Allah spawn without it. And we had a program a couple
months ago
when we started this trip to Cairo and the theme that we talked about
was
Do you know EJV woodiness, our today unity jamming or today on a
Sunday. So negative sort of practice and offensive practice of
the dean. So the dean is not offensive, the dean is not
negative. But the way that people take it on the way that they
practice it can become offensive can push people away because
ultimately, how you practice the deen and what people think of the
deen is going to be through the lens of your particular today you
will, in other words, how you go and practice it. So their
impression of what Islam is their impression of who the prophesy
centum is, all those things will be directly commensurate with how
you practice your team. So if you practice it in a way that is
filled with and is empowered by your ego, because you could still
be a religious person, or outwardly pious and religious
person, and your egos empowering your whole attitude about
everything.
And then that will come up very offensive. And that's probably
more offensive than someone who doesn't have a religious sort of
exterior to them. Someone who's very egotistical and narcissistic,
but doesn't do it in the name of Islam or do it in the name of
religion or do in the name of the teachings on the Prophet Allah. So
I sent them that's less offensive than someone who is taking that
off. And that's why you find a lot of our young people, especially in
the later period, more recently, later period, have been kind of
questioning their deen and questioning their faith because of
a lot of these people who are just a bunch of new force equals
running around, you know, unchecked, and then they're doing
it in the name of the of the, and that's not used in the unit test
lab. You find that in every religion, every tradition, every
ideology, not that Islam was an ideology, but even people follow
ideologies, you also find this kind of lack of sincerity and
I don't think my point is not to malign those people or to
you know, to condemn them, then I'd be doing the same thing as
them but I think we should all look within ourselves and have an
introspection and see, am I fulfilling these two criteria that
the show has talking about? Do I have to lean for the commandment
of Allah subhanaw taala and do I have shuffled or do I have
compassion for his creatures? All his creatures, right? And Muslim
and cinnamon nests Minister anyway at the Muslim is the one where
people are free from harm of both his or her tongue and his or her
hand. That's like the minimum level or one of the draw. There is
no harm and there's no reciprocating apart for have you
in my bed. These are kind of the first principles of dealing with a
loss creatures.
And then
you mentioned the
hula that he told Musa instead of Moses, show compassion, then I
shall treat with you with passion, I am indeed compassionate. When
someone shows compassion, I have compassion for him and I admit him
to paradise. And this is also similar to
that hadith.
We will have one here, the first Hadith that when a hadith Master
has an apprentice it students and they want to start narrating
Hadith and what is the first Hadith that they narrate they call
it Hadith that have
a right hander Hmong Rockman, that Hmong for Hong Kong or Himachal
Matheson have mercy on those of ramonja Hamra. Those who show
mercy Allah will show them mercy. Have mercy on those in the earth
and those and the one in the heavens. Of course in America
Commissioner with His Majesty, Allah subhanaw taala will then
have mercy upon you.
And you know, it's no mistake that we read Bismillah R Rahman r
Rahim. So we want you in Rahman Al Rahim before he mentioned anything
else before he mentioned Menkyo.
What if Matthew was out coalition? And my mercy ultimately was that
encompasses everything whatsoever Kathie Lee, and Maya Rama proceeds
my wrath in the hadith of God see, so, if I lost one or the other
still has mercy on everyone, even the person that you think he
should smite, but he's still giving them risk is still giving
them sustenance, they're still existing, then that is a form of
mercy. So
if I was doing that, then who are you to say that it shouldn't be
like that? So there's a type of fraud. Accurate, right? There's
kind of a
hammered like a putrid smell objection to the decree of Allah
subhanaw taala. When you start thinking, they should be like
that, and they shouldn't be like this and the law should be doing
this with these people, and so forth. And all of that is
shoveling all of that is kind of busyness, spending, expending a
lot of emotions.
Spiritual energy on something that ultimately is not your concern. We
all know the hadith of apostle Islam in Mali Tanco Melange from
the good practice of Islam of the person is to leave that which does
not concern them.
So, I think I'll just read
the last just the last section here, there's a couple of senses I
wanted to go over.
So on page 45, obviously the English of those who are following
repent with your hearts than with your tongues. So Toba. Repentance
is a coup d'etat.
overthrowing the regime of your lower self, the neffs your
passions and how your devils are sheltering, and your wicked
companions. When you repent, you transform your hearing in your
sight, your tongue, your heart, and all your limbs and organs. You
purify your food and drink from contamination by the unlawful or
the Haram, and the dubious or the shobhaa. You become piously
restrained in your livelihood and your buying and selling. you
devote all your attention to your master. So John, you give up your
usual habits like that habits lie that
either and lead worship either either take their place, you give
up sinful disobedience, and that obedience tickets place, then you
become confirmed in reality? And have you thought, together with
the correct observance of the religious law or the Sharia, and
its supporting testimony, the shahada, because any reality in
quotes, that's certified by that law is under thought, right is a
type of heresy. Then when this becomes when this has become real
for you, you will experience becoming extinct or fenny fernet.
We mentioned this before. So you do you replace your bad habits and
attributes with those that are divided, so you become extinct to
blameworthy characteristics? And to noticing other creatures,
right? Because it's it means where's the heart turn? Where's it
focused? If you're so busy with everybody else and thinking about
them, then what it really is, it's a neffs, or mechanism of the ego,
to turn you away from yourself. Right? So a lot of bad stuff going
on over here. I want to think about that. Let me think about
what's going on over here. And what's going on over there and
full NY land and Tom, Dick and Harry and Sue and Mary, let's see
what what's what are they? What are they up to. So it's just a way
for the neffs to say, don't think about me, because I'm not in good
shape. But if we find faults and everything else, then by
comparison, I will feel that I'm in an elevated state. So that's
the mechanism of the ego. So that's why he says when this has
become real for you, you experienced becoming extinct to
blame or the characteristics and to noticing other creatures, your
outer or your lawyer will now be protected. While your inner your
Balton is preoccupied as much who is busy with Allah was your Lord.
Then when you have to attain this completely, even if this world
should come along, and give you control of it, of all it has to
offer lock, stock and barrel. And if people of every age should all
become your followers, none of this would do you any harm.
Because you're already indifferent to all of that you're not even
thinking about all of them. It would not take you away from the
door of your master. So Jen, because you are a resident with
him, dedicated to him preoccupied with him beholding his Majesty his
Gillette and his beauty is geometric. When you behold His
Majesty, you disintegrate and when you behold His beauty, you become
integrated. And in Arabic, this means
when you behold His GLL there are stuff that are felt and when you
hold his behold His beauty or is the man there is Gemma is Malka
and we talked a little bit I think earlier maybe recession about
Falco Gemma, but felt means to be
in tune with your own
characteristics and how they compare to the last federal into
Iowa and it puts you in a state of JLN or in a state of hope or in a
state of Haber. You know all of those kinds of words apply to it.
Because you're thinking about what you have towards Allah. And when
you're beholding Allah's beauty, his GMN his Rama, His mercy, His
love, all of these things get Malka it puts you in a state of
Gemma and so you feel more in kind of unison or in union with the
Divine or the other or the presence and then you're looking
at what Allah has towards you now what you have towards Allah. So
not a secondary has a similar meaning in the HECM if you want to
be in a state of hope for a state of haber look to what you give to
Allah which is nothing meaningless. But if you want to
have a state of Georgia and a state of owns and a state of
Jenelle then you look to
What Allah gives to you, so then you behold his gem and
you feel fear at the sight of his majesty and hope at the sight of
his beauty, as we just said, You are obliterated at the sight of
his majesty and established at the sight
of his beauty. What bliss for those who taste this food, that's
why
the complete RF or the complete Muslim, let's say, will behold
both of those aspects. And if your diet or your nutrition spiritual
efficient that is, only consists of one side and not the other,
then you will be what imbalanced. So if you only interested in
beholding the gym and and feeling like wow, and everything's great
and so forth. Without that aspect of Heba, there's an imbalance in
you. And the reverse is true. If you're only beholding the aspect
of Gillette and mightiness and the awesomeness and the majesty of
God, then that also puts you in a state that that's also imbalanced,
a state that lends towards more towards fear.
And so, you know, generally speaking, you should be at a
balance between these two things and the same amount of the
prophesy said and we mentioned before that he said a Euro y'all
might have already watched volume of school, I will be hungry one
day and I will be more fervent in my supplication and now we say she
had one day that I will thank him for that. So this is where the
believers should be you know, kind of out of balance between those
things and whatever Allah throws at you, whatever situation that
you find yourself in, meet it with acquiescence meet it with Esther
slam, meet it with appreciation, read it with chocolate meet it
with some but don't meet it with with Jazza don't meet it with
panic. Don't meet it with
it rod right which is how having an objection Why is this happening
to me, but at the very least meet it with someone with patience,
forbearance, and all these things that the chef is talking about
that you they will be more hawkish on what they will they will come
your way.
