We continue to read
from the faith or harmony
of animals many together call the right energy learning the sublime
revelation and divine outpourings set of 62 discourses that the
shared
sermon and lectured over a period of two years on Baghdad between
the years of 545 and 546 of the Hijra of your lawn. So we've
arrived at the 7030 sevens match list 37 This course so we'll just
begin looking at reading from there.
So he says a rather large one and these are Salman Khan ruled on

Wahaca congeneric And if you don't know to our sablefish Artico and
nakasu out to the euro will be sweaty either as you work your
stomach
so let's just look at the beginning part.
privatize LM is important. I've said visit the sick and escort the
funeral processions for it will remind you of the hereafter. The
messenger SallAllahu Sallam
meant by this that you ought to remember the hereafter, but you
flee from the recollection of it and you love the temporal life and
hydrilla from this you will soon be separated. Not at your own
command. You will be dispossessed of all that you now enjoy. You
will come to feel disgust you will come to feel grief Uttara instead
of joy or and Farah
Oh heedless one or ruffian come to your senses.
You will not created for this world. You are created only for
the hereafter. Oh you are neglectful of your essential
needs. You have focused your interest on carnal appetites and
pleasures and piling one dinner upon another. And you have devoted
your limbs and organs to fun and games. Someone reminds you of the
hereafter and death you turn your head this way and that saying, you
make my life and misery. The herald of death has already come
to you in the form of the greenness in your hair, although
you may trim it and tinted with black or die with black. When
you're appointed our law arrives. What will you do then? When the
angel of death comes to you accompanied by his assistance with
what will you save him off?
When your sustenance is discontinued on your span is
terminated. What trickle you're trying to play?
So check in the beginning.
Rahim Allah is trying to remind us that the province also reminded us
to think our eventual outcome. And our eventual outcome is that we're
going to leave this world. We're going to leave it alone. And we're
going to leave it dispossessed of all that we acquired and
accumulated in this life, those things you acquired and
accumulated will be left to your heirs, and they're not yours
anymore. And after people walk away after they finished burying
you, you will be left again once alone to answer the questions of
monka. And here are the two angels who come to the grave and ask you
Who is your Lord
Who was your prophet? And what is your deen
so that therefore the prophets I send them
encouraged people to periodically remind themselves, of the things
that would make them have a greater sense of urgency about
what they do in this life, because what's going to happen to the next
life is more important. So visiting the second escorting the
funeral processions remind one of the hereafter.
Because it shows us that this is one tuality that everyone is going
to go through. Everyone is going to pass through no one can escape
it.
It doesn't matter what your position was in life, how much
wealth you acquired, or how many assistants who have how many
people you have power and influence over none of that is
going to make any difference one iota when medicine mode, when the
angel of death comes knocking at your door and seeking to take you
at the appointed time.
Lawyer stuff HERSA Well, I stuck them, he doesn't he doesn't come
one second later, then he's supposed to come and he doesn't
want come come one second, earlier. So there's nothing really
that we can do when we say things like this thing will prolong your
life or doing this particular thing
you know, may shorten your life that's actually not to be meant
when we shouldn't mean it in a literal sense. Nothing short from
your life nothing prolongs your life. Allah subhanaw taala will
determine how long your life is going to be. All that is left for
us is to as it were, fall in line as best as we can and follow the
commands and avoid the prohibitions of almost fine with
Allah. As we have seen the sheikh
mentioned several times many times before.
So I want to go to another section here.
He says, we have an offline data stemmer Oba and Atala Dima
Min kobika filata caverta G with a stola callback with a temp Melaka
and Kuruman Allah azza wa jal for Hina is in Hungary and Oprah what
look for NACA document also held on can be also house.
can find you here?
You know, this idea of multitasking or being able to be
multi focused on a variety of things actually don't think it's
very true, especially when it comes to the idea of a gym or
being a dunya with efeito. So to combine between dunya and F, to
combine between the love of this life and the love of the Hereafter
just it doesn't work because in actuality there are polar
opposites. The F that is everything that the dunya is not
and the dunya is everything that the answer is not. So dunya is
shortest temporal is fleeting.
It's deceiving. Things are not as they seem.
If you only go by the external
exterior aspect of it, it's not like not like anything that is
real. And then the Atilla is quite the opposite. So it is real, it is
hardly, it is everlasting.
There is no grief in it. There's no disclosure, there's no strife,
there's no difficulties. So everything that the
dunya is the effort is not in the vise and vice versa. Everything is
not it's also
the dunya is that so
he gives the parable here of it being like your love of dunya like
being a maid servant or a handmaiden to, you can't have this
one and that one at the same time. So release it, let go of it, let
it go out from your heart, and then the hero will come more into
focus. And what he means by the hero means the the certainty about
it. So all of these things, is about having certainty about them
of what he calls the Yukon, or strong conviction or certainty.
And the more certainty and conviction that you have about it,
then the closer it will appear to you
darlin,
They have a saying
that which is searching to happen in the future. It's like it's
already here. That which is certain to happen in the future.
It's like it's already here
Maho upon
fill urgent, find the hotel agile, how can medical move Judea hygena,
I think is what they say. So if we are certain that we're going to
die or certain we're going to meet Allah subhanaw taala. And we're
certainly going to be in the etc. All those are certainties are no
one should have any doubt about that. And even the atheist knows
they're going to die. They may deny about what's going to happen
after death, but they don't deny the idea that people die. And
that's an eventuality for everybody. So if that is a
certainty, and we are reminded of the certainty in a myriad of ways,
right, because we tend to forget. So we see people die before us,
they could be close to us, they can be far away from us in terms
of our relationship with them.
We see people get sick, we ourselves get sick, sometimes we
get so sick. Occasionally, we wonder if we're going to recover
fully or not recover, certainly in this pandemic that that we're
seeing now, this is often the times the case. Many of us may
already have known someone who has been affected by the pandemic
maybe even lost their life. So all of these things then serve as
reminders as Bathsheba, you know, the Quran exhorts us why tiberiu
yet old enough saw have Atiba of me look at things not for what
they are,
from an exterior perspective. But see the reality of them, see the
inner perspective about them. So if you're Agile is MAHAK clock,
right you have, you're just, there's a timestamp, right or
expiry date. And that's going to come and just don't know what it's
going to be, then it's like it's here, right now. Just think about
people in the dunya in the business world, or in the
you know, the world of
sports, for example, in the business world, people, if they
know that a certain thing is going to expire, you know, if they know
their inventory only has so much of a shelf life, then they have
all these contingencies in place to make sure that the stock,
the inventory can be restocked, and you're not left with expired
products on yourself. And they make these plans these
contingencies before they even put the new stock the new inventory on
the shelf, they know that there's going to be an expiry date, that
doesn't get sold, then it has to be removed. And then the new
inventory comes in because it's like it's a certainty it's going
to expire. Professional athletes also know they only have, you
know, X number of years, they want most of them don't continue to
play professional sports beyond a certain age like mid 30s, or
something maybe the rare exception, they get into the 40s
like Tom Brady, but outside of that, it's a rarity that, you
know, they're gonna go beyond that. And so, they also, you know,
not so much the athletes, but certainly the teams that manage
them and the teams that pay their salaries have this in mind and so,
you know, the your quarterback for the football team may think he's
going to play into his late 30s, early 40s. But the management
staff and the coaching staff who already have a succession plan in
place, they already know that you know, at this particular point,
this athlete is not going to be much good to us anymore. And so
they have a type of succession plan into place. So we should also
have a succession plan and not just kind of leave it up to
now you know, Allah is very forgiving Allah is home for his
Rahim and he is well acquainted with our affairs and everything is
going to be okay. That's good. That's that should be a part of,
of your overall kind of, let's say, spiritual psyche. But you
need to balance that part of your spiritual psyche with a sense of
urgency with a sense of no wait a minute I am
my Agile is going to come my time is going to come I don't know
when. But it's certainly going to come at some time. And I want to
be balanced in that way. So sometimes they say like balance
like everything and present, like the two sides of our traditional
scale. Or like
Jenna hate or like the two wings of a bird, right? If the bird has
wondering what's going on that way that he's going to change
direction. But if it's balanced, then you maintain the course you
maintain strength. So fear and hope then are there to balance us,
as are the higher forms of fear and hope. Fear and hope are more
about fear of consequences and hope for certain consequences.
at a higher level, I'm further along the spiritual path, they
become more about his own sweat Haber, for example, once a biller,
were able to learn some more about the consequences of Allah subhanaw
taala, they become about Allah himself about the attributes of
God. So you have once right you have a,
an intimacy and a longing for the beauty of God's attributes or for
the beauty of his beautiful attributes, and you have a hay
bale, you have a reverence for the magnificence of Allah's Jalali,
right magnificent attributes. And then even beyond that, it becomes
more about more focused on just Allah Himself, or more the essence
of God, in general and German, right, in magnificence and in
beauty.
And so, everybody, you know, in sha Allah will have a share of
that at different levels of understanding and different levels
of, of implementation. But this is what should be kind of our, like,
we said, our spiritual psyche, how we, how we look upon the world and
how we interact with it, and most importantly, how we interact with
Allah subhanaw taala. And alongside it gives us many clues,
he gives us kind of many
signs so that we, you know, we don't lose sight of that because,
you know, insan
the word insane human being, there's some difference of opinion
amongst the grammarians or The Linguist about what is the origin
of that work. So one origin of that could be an audience. Mariana
Lawrence's is the creature that seeks intimacy and social cohesion
and connection with other creatures with other things. So
the opposite of that would be a wash, right? And then wash is the
one that that is solitary lives alone, is not interested in mixing
with others, and so on and so forth. So insane. You have to add
ons, it needs other people, and it needs once it needs to feel
connected. And that is a part of being an incentive being human
being. The other word they said that incentive come from is an
ACN. Right, Vanessa? So an sei means to forget to be in a state
of forgetfulness. And that's also part of who we are. So we tend to
forget very quickly. And here when we talk about forget, we're not
saying forget about memory, it's not
something that I forgot, or I neglect to recollect in my memory,
like, Oh, what did you do yesterday? Well, I remember I did
it yesterday, but here's the forgetfulness.
More of the heart does pull Kulu right. So love the third column,
so the remissness or the forgetfulness of the heart, so it
means a forgetfulness of the urgency or the importance or the
significance of something because you become distracted by something
else.
You know the Quran describes the type of people who kind of you
know
kind of fly in the wind and the prophesy send them talked about
this type of person they call them an ima they said letter conical
ima Don't be like this ima, you know, the one who flies in the
wind, the one who says in asanas asunder.
When I said
don't be like the people who say if people are good, then we'll be
good. And if people are bad, then we'll do the same as them but say
in SMSs and he said what meanwhile Infoseek watin, Danny, establish
this in your person in your heart, that if people do it and SMS I
send when a set of fella totally. And if they wrong, you fell out of
them. You don't wronged them. Right? If they injure you, we're
never we don't go the other extreme and wrong thing. So this
is he called the Silicon Valley. And the Quran talks about the type
of people who
are the Messiah who suffer with boudoir in audio. Right? If
something bad has happened to them, then they make a lot of art
and they want to get out of it. But if they have something of
bliss and something of ease from something of now, then they forget
and they don't ask and they don't think that Allah subhanaw taala is
Our Lady is the Elohim heavy now, he is the one who put in their
path, these blessings in this life or place and this EvCC things. So
we are forgetful that sense. So Allah gives us many clues and
gives us many sides. It gives you great hair and it gives you ageing
and it gives you wrinkles and it gives you loss of maybe some loss
of mobility. It gives us sickness,
sickness, no one likes to get sick. No one wants to be ill. But
sometimes
if it does happen, then we have to take it as a reminder and take it
as a maybe a bit of an alarm clock going off and saying, you know,
just like you didn't want to get sick, and it happened to you and
you couldn't avoid it. Well
Death is going to happen to you, and you're not going to like it
and you couldn't avoid either. So keep that in mind. And so we want
to live life to the fullest. In the sense, we live like, there is
no tomorrow in terms of what we want to prepare ourselves for the
tomorrow. So the tomorrow that may or may not come, but definitely
the tomorrow of us passing to the next stage the next life, not
tomorrow, certain. But the tomorrow of will I continue in the
manner that I'm continuing now. It's not a certainty at all, for
anybody. And so, we want to have Tammy locked, we want to, as we
said, cultivate our most precious commodity that we have all of us
have, which is our time, use it in the best way use it wisely.
Try not to waste it.
Try not to last month I see us in a compromised state and a
compromised state means that we are Muhaddith that we are going
against his wishes and going against his command, but to always
try to see us in a state of thought in the state of obedience
and following that command.
So he talks about this quite a bit this Nearness so ALLAH SubhanA,
Allah knows that
we are the type of beings that Muay Thai are easily, right. No
one wants to be around anybody who keeps talking about death and this
eventuality and for many people, culturally, it's never acceptable
to kind of talk about it publicly and ponder it and all that sort of
thing. And so Allah subhanaw taala does offer us ways by which we can
sustain
this urgency in life and
desire.
Or let's say, lack of fear or lack of trepidation about eventually
meeting Allah subhanaw taala. It's okay to fear death, or in fact, we
should. We don't want to approach to death except that we are
certain that we are in a state of Amen. And so the LDS, many of them
didn't fear death because of the idea of death and meeting or love,
but they fear that they may come to it in a state where they're not
in a state of Amen.
I was reading the other day that one of those yet he was asked if
you had the option in your in your bedroom, and
you can die a Shaheed right? A very lofty way of dying a
moderately severe lung, you just have to make it out the front
door. Or if you had the option of dying, just
having Amen. Mother Shaheed, but all you have to do is make it to
the bedroom door. Which one would you choose? He said, I would
choose just dying on the man at the bedroom door, because I don't
know what's going to happen to me, between the bedroom door and
between the door of the house, maybe,
you know, I'll fall back on my heels, maybe I will not die in
that state of Eman or the state of shahada, maybe something will
happen to me. So they had healthy fear, but a fear of not dying in a
state of Eman. And also, they also fear that any ease that we're
having in life now and he bliss could be a state of St. Raj. And
is to the large means that Allah subhanaw taala is giving you some
pause.
And kind of
withholding, taking you to task for the things that you have done
wrong that you If Allah subhanaw taala were to deal with you by His
heart by His justice, then you would be quite deserving deserving
of these chastisements. So they would have a fear of that might be
their case. So whatever the case might be, we should never feel
like oh, everything's just great, I'll be fine.
No, we should, between these two things, right? And sometimes,
between these two things translate into something called a club, well
bust. So a club demeans like a constriction of your, let's say,
your spiritual psyche, you feel like a little down or you feel a
little less optimistic about yourself and the state of the
world and things like this. This is called a club. And sometimes
you have bust and you feel a little bit more optimistic, you
feel a little bit more.
Maybe you're in a state, it could be in a good state, you can be in
a state of gratitude and you feel that things are looking up and so
forth. And for the Seeker for the Sadek, they are between these two
states, they go back and forth. And Allah subhanaw taala tells us
in the Quran, Allah azza wa jal, Allah we can put you in clubbed
way up so we can put you in bust state of the heart. What you know
he told me on but you go back to
philosophy
at a higher level, we call it something else. We
Call it Gemma. Well, so Gemma and Yajima Allahu Akbar aka Ali. Yes
rather conduct county that Allah subhanaw taala puts you in this
sort of unison with the Hydra with the Divine Presence, so you feel
close to Allah.
This is called Gemma. And then at Farrokh means you feel no not so
close, you feel there's a lot there's me and there's this big
distance between us. That's called a fork.
And so we want to do the things that will bring our hearts so
Gemma means to combine. So we want to combine our whole being towards
Allah subhanaw taala. And this is called an herb, right and, and as
you said, in a previous
discourse called means that you're in a kind of worldly heaven
and board, right? When you feel distant from the last month, I
won't be far far away. This is type of a worldly punishment, or
hellfire. And that's actually the true bliss of even the agenda as
well, the to the heaven in the next life is because Allah will
give us things that will make us feel like we are close to him. So
all the things that He promised His female I know I thought that
was inside well what are called Bucha all of those things that he
has promised in the Quran, that we can't even imagine for ourselves.
The real Felicity there is that there are signs a la semana Dallas
has brought us close to him, we are in his protector and in his
DNA, a special consideration and some of that can be had in this
life, if we seek it from Allah subhanaw taala. If we have our
people of intention, and people of resolve, and ultimately People
have to feel Allah has to be able to give us Sophie it's neither the
inner success that makes all of that happen. And then in Bard is
the opposite. So the distance from Allah subhanaw taala is feeling
that we are far away, and we feel isolated. And when we're alone, we
feel alone, not that he's with us, where someone who's in a state of
Jamal will feel I'm not lonely because I know that Allah subhanaw
taala is with me,
mankind and that Allah Allahu Omar, who was with Allah, seeking
a lot and Allah is with them. And the prophets are certainly tacit
in Allah manner. Do not grieve. Allah is with us. So this may
Yeah, so there's
an intellectual now Yeah, so an acknowledgement Allah is with us
because we know that there's no way we can escape from Allah's
knowledge. So that is a kind of witness, then there's more of a
spiritual matter Yeah. That one can avail themselves of which is
to see with the eye of the heart that Allah is with you. Right and
to see that anything that befalls you.
Allah didn't just leave you, but that's something that Allah
subhanaw taala
sent to you in sha Allah as attend be, you know, as as a signal or as
a way to encourage us as a way to sustain us and so forth. And so
many people, they talk about the color mat and they say, you know,
people who can see inside of other people and see the hype and see
things of the unseen world and so forth. But some of the earlier
they're caught on that is that allows for that it gives him this
sense of of Mallya and,
and that's one of the greatest compliment the greatest kilometers
is the karma. The greatest type of synchrony miracle is to be stuck
in right is to be on the straight path.
And when Abu Bakr Siddiqui saw the promise I send them and they used
to be able to count the number of wider gray hairs in his beard,
Abu Bakr Siddiq sets of our size and we are a smaller ship then we
also know you got a little bit of gray and you were not used to see
that degree and then the province size, Sydenham responded
che Bethenny hood, will have to say Bethany hood However, with
that which has made me Gray is the chapter the surah of the Quran,
who would and a Howard and the sisters of what other words Surahs
and there's difference of opinion about what that means, but
chapters that are similar either in the way that they start, like
hood, like the singular letters or that they have similar meanings to
hood. And some of them said the reason the prophesy centum said
would because there's a verse in it that says,
Cool LM to be Letho Mustafa was stuffing kind of omit certain
comment on it.
The verse in the Quran instructing the prophets I send them a
startling comment on it. You know, find this uprightness, find the
straight path, be on that cannot omit as you have been instructed
to or as you've been commanded to. And so, this is
it. The Quran in general is Conan's Athena, it's a heavy word
but this one especially seems like it weighed
on the prophets. So I said I'm Derrick was
Something that was heavy and you're stuck in comment on it be
be on the straight path as you have. And the prophesy suddenly he
said he told us a hobbit if you knew what I knew the hashtag
Paulina or the baccatum cathedral, if you knew what I knew what I've
seen, for example, from labor from that which is of the unseen realm,
then you would have left little and you would have reaped much. So
these are things to consider. And this is our profits are someone
who's saying these things who also had a certainty that his Lord was
going to take care of him and his Lord was going to grant him very
felicitous things in the next life, but his spiritual psyche, as
it were, and it's the most complete one that one can imagine,
and no one no one is going to be more completed than this. He also
was between the most Shahadat of Janelle And Jay man in a way that
we can't even imagine. But something that's commensurate with
someone in the state of Nevada, in a state of prophethood, and have
the highest state of profit than the highest highest state of,
of insignia of humanity, even that some of them called him, Eileen
sandal CAMI like Chicago, likklemel, Julie, ellenson and
Kim, the perfect human being. And that's what he wants. And so the
perfect human being the most full, comprehensive human being is one
who was balanced between
optimism and hope in Allah's mercy and in his ease and his gentleness
and witnessing that in your life, and also caution and reverence and
respect for the magnificence of God for the magnificence of Allah
subhanaw taala. And the Prophet SAW Selim, he said, Do not be
fascinated dB, my lord, inculcated me. And he was the best one to do
that. And we can see that in the career of the prophets are
similar.
When Gibreel Ali Salam Gabriel first appeared to the prophesy
centum, he did not appear in his true form.
You know, that may have been not appropriate for someone first
getting this message of Magua of prophecy. But later on sometime
after that, he said, I saw Jabril in his true form. And I saw him in
the rise, and he filled up the whole horizon, with his wings, and
I filled up the whole sky, when I saw him
as a prophet, so I said, dimensioned so Allah prepares us,
right, we go through certain trials and tribulations. And as we
said, this is a type of thing.
We're being prepared to take on even something more maybe more
challenging, and something bigger later on. So don't get lost, or
lose hope in a little trial that you may be going through now. This
could be in sha Allah away for last month, Allah preparing you
for something much greater. And, you know, what is the what's the
criteria? How do we tell we're on the right path or not on the right
path? It's a question that is often asked.
We
we look at our position with Allah subhanaw taala. What is Allah's
position with us? What is this Muhammad with us, is the first
thing that we do want to wake up in the morning we say Hamdulillah,
the Havana, or hamdulillah they are here and about the Americana
we like to say, Praise to the one who gave us life once again this
morning, we woke up, and we are shortly on our way back to him
returning to him? And is it the last thing that we think about
before we go to sleep, and then do we structure our day, so that we
have periodic remembrance of Allah, namely the five prayers,
and we look forward to them and it doesn't feel like a burden upon us
and we are happy to do it. And we are even enthusiastic. These are
all Mani these are meanings that give you a good indication that in
sha Allah, Allah subhanaw taala or all the AG, Allah is pleased with
you. So if you find that you're pleased with Allah, then that's a
sign that Allah is pleased with you. But if you question Allah,
right, and I don't mean question, in a sense,
in an overt manner, Rarely will a Muslim do that. I believe we do
that, but maybe question why certain things in your life are
happening the way that they are. Right? This is the way that we
question the last time without it, but I'll be it in an indirect way.
So
don't accuse Allah subhanaw taala you know, when you request a last
one out, or when you make the DUA when you supplicate don't ask in
an accusatory manner or accusatory tone, right? It's not like
secondary said sometimes we'll do our third we'll come in who at
Hamdulillah. See, asking him sometimes depending on what's the
state of your heart could be an accusation. Like Allah, did you
forget about me? How come I was not hearing my dua? I keep asking
but he's not listening and so forth.
No, the basis of dua, or Mocha Ada, right is the the cornerstone
or the fountainhead of a Betta of worship, and it's to help
establish in your heart that relationship that should be
between you and God. Namely, he is the one to be
I asked and you're the one who's asking, not the other way around.
So, we're not stipulating we're not telling you what to do. We're
asking you, right and then we leave the answer after we leave,
however, which way he wants to answer it in a manner that he
deems best and commensurate with with our particular state and
where we're at in life with hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
