Walead Mosaad
AI: Summary ©
The Tabi Aynara is used to connect with the beggar and avoid loss of love. The Prophet's actions are not based on whim or reason, but rather on the fruit of his love for his people. He emphasizes the importance of treating people well, respecting natural rhythm, and learning from the Prophet's teachings. The use of the Jibadet is designed to preserve natural phenomena and natural phenomena, and the importance of trusting and distributing resources is emphasized. The use of the symbolism of the Lord of truth is a reminder of rem Remembering the Lord, and the use of the symbolism of the Lord of truth is a way to control and control the situation.

So, went to the 15th light

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

of Ramadan and we're reading from

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

the work of Sirimu Hiding Abd al Khadul

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

Jilani, Afat Harro Bani, wal Faylu al Rahmani,

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

Sublime revelation and

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

the divine merciful outpourings

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

in the set of discourses

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

that were recorded for

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

Sheikh Abdul Khader Jilani,

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

545

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

to 546.

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

So we have reached the

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

49th

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

majlis, the 49th discourse.

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

And the sheikh begins by

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

recounting the story, one of the kibar

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

of the Tabi'in, Abdullah Ibn Mubarak. Thank you

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

from the Tabi'in, if I'm not mistaken,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

where he says,

00:02:36 --> 00:02:38

We saw that phrase a lot.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

So whoever is broken by, whoever is fixed

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

by, this is the haqq saying.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

So he says it is related concerning our

00:02:47 --> 00:02:48

beloved Mubarak

00:02:49 --> 00:02:51

that a beggar came to him one day,

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

Qasaykh,

00:02:55 --> 00:02:57

asking him for some food. He had nothing

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

in store except for 10 eggs. So he

00:02:59 --> 00:03:01

ordered his maidservant to give them to the

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

beggar, but she gave him 9 and hid

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

1 away.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

At the moment of the sun setting, a

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

man came

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

and knocked at the door saying take this

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

basket from me. So Abdullah

00:03:12 --> 00:03:13

Radillahu Anhu

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14

went out to meet

00:03:15 --> 00:03:17

him and took the basket from him. Then

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

he saw that it contained eggs, so he

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

counted them and lo and behold there were

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

90 of them. He asked his maid servant,

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

where is the other egg? How many did

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

you give to the person who came before,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:28

the beggar?

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

She replied, I gave him 9 and left

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

1 for us to eat for breakfast.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

You're like,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:37

Mahribi, I get to break his fast because

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

he was probably fasting that day. So he

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

told her, you have made us

00:03:41 --> 00:03:42

lose 10.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

So

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

he was used to getting a 100 or

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

he expected to get a 100 x. And

00:03:49 --> 00:03:50

so when the,

00:03:52 --> 00:03:54

based upon the all of this is not

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

said here, but you can infer it.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

So

00:03:58 --> 00:03:59

the hasana

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

is like,

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

one hasanah, one good deed counts as 10

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

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

And so when he counted, he gave 10

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

eggs,

00:04:09 --> 00:04:10

or what he thought were 10 eggs to

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

the person who came asking for them,

00:04:13 --> 00:04:14

then that's

00:04:14 --> 00:04:16

the Ashriam tell you 10 times 10 is

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

100.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:19

So there's an expectation or he would have

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

thought that it would come back to him,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:23

as times 10.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:25

But then when it came back as times

00:04:25 --> 00:04:26

9,

00:04:27 --> 00:04:28

as times 10, in other words, only 9

00:04:28 --> 00:04:30

eggs went out, that's when he asked his

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

maid,

00:04:32 --> 00:04:34

where is the other egg? So it looks

00:04:34 --> 00:04:35

like you didn't give all of them away.

00:04:35 --> 00:04:36

You must have

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

done something with the 10th one because we

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

only got 90 back instead of a 100.

00:04:41 --> 00:04:42

So

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

then the sheikh says, such was their way

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

of relating to their Lord.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:49

They always had faith and believed what is

00:04:49 --> 00:04:51

found in the book and in the sunnah,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:52

as we just said.

00:04:52 --> 00:04:55

Hasanatubi ashramthariha the hasanat, the one good deed,

00:04:55 --> 00:04:57

counts as 10 with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:58

So he took that,

00:04:59 --> 00:05:00

to

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

from a literal degree because of his yaqeen,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:04

because of his certainty.

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

So that's why the shaykh said that. Such

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

was their way of relating to their Lord.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

They always had faith and believed

00:05:11 --> 00:05:12

in what is found in the book and

00:05:12 --> 00:05:12

the sunnah.

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

They were servants of the Quran

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

and they would never go against

00:05:19 --> 00:05:21

it in anything they did, whether in action

00:05:21 --> 00:05:24

or at rest, whether taking or giving.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

They dealt with their Lord and found it

00:05:26 --> 00:05:27

profitable to deal with him,

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

so they made it their regular practice.

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

This is what

00:05:32 --> 00:05:34

this first story here is an example of,

00:05:35 --> 00:05:36

Muamila tul Khaliq.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

So that you make your Muamila

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

like your your main relationship and your hem

00:05:42 --> 00:05:43

and your aspiration. We've

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

touched on this thing before but to make

00:05:46 --> 00:05:46

it solely

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to the degree that

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

he didn't really see,

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

you know,

00:05:52 --> 00:05:54

the person coming asking the beggar or then

00:05:54 --> 00:05:56

the generous person who brought him 90 x

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

instead of a

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

100. He's not dealing with those people per

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

se, he's dealing with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:06:03 --> 00:06:04

That's how he's looking at it.

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

So So they dealt with their lord and

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

found it profitable to deal with him, yarbaahu,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:10

yarba'hunyah,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:11

the rebah.

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

The Prophet then comes back to them both

00:06:13 --> 00:06:14

in this life

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

and in the next.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:18

So they made it their regular

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

practice. They saw that his door was open,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

so they entered it, And they saw that

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

everyone else's door was closed,

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

so they avoided it.

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

They complied with his wishes, Allah's wishes regarding

00:06:31 --> 00:06:33

others, and did not comply with the wishes

00:06:33 --> 00:06:34

of others concerning him,

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

concerning Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala.

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

They concurred with him in his dislike of

00:06:41 --> 00:06:41

those he dislikes.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

Here he says hatred, but I I wouldn't

00:06:44 --> 00:06:45

translate as hatred.

00:06:46 --> 00:06:48

And his love of those he loves. This

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

is why a certain wise man said, agree

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

with Allah wafaaqullah

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

where creatures are concerned but do not agree.

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

I would say comply with Allah Subhanahu Wa

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

Ta'ala where creatures are concerned and would once

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

follow the command of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:03

Not your whim, not your caprice, and not

00:07:03 --> 00:07:05

what they, or what you think they expect

00:07:05 --> 00:07:06

of you or what they would like from

00:07:06 --> 00:07:07

you.

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

And do not comply

00:07:10 --> 00:07:12

with Khalq, with the creatures, with everyone else

00:07:13 --> 00:07:14

where Allah is concerned.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

He who gets broken gets broken, and he

00:07:17 --> 00:07:19

who gets mended gets mended, yani.

00:07:21 --> 00:07:22

With what he has said. So,

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

this Muhammeda,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:28

this dealing with,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:29

Al Khaleq,

00:07:29 --> 00:07:31

It's a higher level of

00:07:31 --> 00:07:33

looking at the world and looking at life

00:07:33 --> 00:07:34

and,

00:07:35 --> 00:07:37

seeing people for what they truly are and

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

they're merely

00:07:38 --> 00:07:40

instruments of the divine will.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:43

And so that's why the kibar like Abu

00:07:43 --> 00:07:46

Luvara, Sayyidina Abu Sayyid and others we've talked

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

about, and certainly Abhishek, Abu Khadar Jilani.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

They dealt with people,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:54

not as

00:07:54 --> 00:07:55

having

00:07:55 --> 00:07:57

expectations from them

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

and seeking to gain something from them.

00:08:01 --> 00:08:02

They took to heart,

00:08:03 --> 00:08:04

the hadith of the prophet,

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

is that fidunya, your hibukkala, always have fima

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

adines or hibukkanas.

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

Renounce,

00:08:12 --> 00:08:13

forsake

00:08:14 --> 00:08:16

the dunya and Allah will love you. In

00:08:16 --> 00:08:18

other words, he will give you this Muwaffatha

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

and this agreement and this these meanings in

00:08:21 --> 00:08:23

your heart. That's kind of some of the

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

fruits of Allah's love for us.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:26

And

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

is Hafima Adines or Haibukhanines.

00:08:30 --> 00:08:31

And renounce or forsake

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

that which people possess

00:08:33 --> 00:08:35

and then the people will love you.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

Or Jubilatin Nafusala,

00:08:38 --> 00:08:42

akhobiman asana ilaha is another one. That people

00:08:42 --> 00:08:43

have been

00:08:44 --> 00:08:45

accustomed to

00:08:46 --> 00:08:49

loving those who treat them well. And so

00:08:49 --> 00:08:50

we don't treat people well per se just

00:08:50 --> 00:08:52

to get their love, but we treat people

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

well because

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

when we treat people well, we are doing

00:08:55 --> 00:08:57

the mawafaka, we are doing

00:08:57 --> 00:08:58

the

00:08:58 --> 00:09:01

compliance with Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. So Allah

00:09:01 --> 00:09:03

asks us to comply in certain things, to

00:09:03 --> 00:09:05

do certain things. So we treat his creatures

00:09:05 --> 00:09:08

well. We treat his, his servants well.

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

And all of his creatures whether they're Muslim

00:09:10 --> 00:09:12

or non Muslim, believer or non believer,

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

they even extended this to

00:09:15 --> 00:09:16

Al Jamadat,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

Al Haywanat, wal Jamadat, wal Nabadat.

00:09:19 --> 00:09:21

They extended this Muhammedah,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:23

this way of dealing with things to

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

animals

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

and plants,

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

and even inanimate things, or things that you

00:09:29 --> 00:09:30

think don't have life in them.

00:09:31 --> 00:09:33

But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has made

00:09:34 --> 00:09:35

sanctity.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:36

He sanctified

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

everything, because his mark,

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

is on it. Allah put it there. Allah

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

created it.

00:09:44 --> 00:09:47

So, you know, we we don't disturb anthills

00:09:47 --> 00:09:49

for no reason or beehives

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

or,

00:09:51 --> 00:09:54

depopulate fish populations in the ocean

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

or cut off,

00:09:56 --> 00:09:57

you know,

00:09:57 --> 00:09:59

branches of a tree without

00:09:59 --> 00:10:01

some sort of higher purpose,

00:10:02 --> 00:10:02

involved.

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

We preserve the things that Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:10:05 --> 00:10:08

Ta'ala has you know, put on upon this

00:10:08 --> 00:10:10

earth and even the Jibadet. And so, you

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

know,

00:10:12 --> 00:10:13

rock formations

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

and

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

you know, natural phenomena as they occur,

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

by and large, we should leave them undisturbed.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

We should not, you know, do anything to

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

them unless there is a higher purpose.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:27

But

00:10:27 --> 00:10:29

out of Abbath, just out of

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

pure frivolity and vanity and boredom to do

00:10:32 --> 00:10:34

these things. And and you hear about these

00:10:34 --> 00:10:36

things today. You hear about young kids who

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

go on highway overpasses and it's happened enough

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

that it's like a thing.

00:10:41 --> 00:10:42

They take a rock

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

or something and they throw it on cars

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

coming below and and several people have already

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

been killed by just poor teenagers or poor

00:10:49 --> 00:10:50

kids who

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

don't know what to do with themselves,

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

don't have a purpose in life. Just,

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

you know,

00:10:57 --> 00:10:57

just,

00:10:58 --> 00:11:00

going around without any sort of,

00:11:02 --> 00:11:03

methodology or anything.

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

So

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

we have a great great blessing, a big

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

nama that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has given

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

us. The way is there.

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

We just have to walk it and practice

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

it

00:11:15 --> 00:11:17

and seek it and, give it its tune.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:19

And then Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala, inshaAllah He

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

will ennoble us beyond

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

just the mere the ennoblement that human beings

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

receive for being human beings but even a

00:11:26 --> 00:11:27

higher ennoblement.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:32

So,

00:11:33 --> 00:11:35

this is a little bit of a long

00:11:35 --> 00:11:36

measure. So I'm gonna be skipping around a

00:11:36 --> 00:11:37

little bit

00:11:38 --> 00:11:40

just to pick on some points. Some things

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

I have been kind of said already, so

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

I'm not gonna repeat them.

00:11:44 --> 00:11:45

The sites,

00:11:48 --> 00:11:49

one of the

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

it says in one of the books, and

00:11:51 --> 00:11:53

this is on page 292 for those who

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

are following.

00:13:01 --> 00:13:03

Allah said in one of his books. Here

00:13:03 --> 00:13:04

in one of his books, it could be

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

something like something related from the Psalms of

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

David or maybe the Injil,

00:13:09 --> 00:13:10

but or perhaps, you know, a meaning

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

extrapolate from that. If someone does not gladly

00:13:14 --> 00:13:16

accept my judgment and is not patient in

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

bearing my tribulation,

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

let him choose a god apart from me.

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

Be satisfied with him to the exclusion of

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

all others, whether what has been decreed

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

is to your advantage or to your

00:13:27 --> 00:13:28

disadvantage.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:30

Right and this is

00:13:30 --> 00:13:33

a seminal fundamental element of creed.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:38

And to believe in the qadr that Allah

00:13:38 --> 00:13:40

has decreed this for you. Qairi, whether you

00:13:40 --> 00:13:41

consider it to be good or consider it

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

to be bad or shar.

00:13:43 --> 00:13:45

We say in general, all of the muqadr

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

is good. And as much as that Allah

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has,

00:13:50 --> 00:13:52

designated as such.

00:13:52 --> 00:13:55

But we then stipulate or have a perspective

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

of saying as good or bad depending on

00:13:57 --> 00:13:59

our personal perspective. As he says here, whether

00:13:59 --> 00:14:01

it's to your advantage or to your disadvantage.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:04

Make Islam a reality

00:14:04 --> 00:14:06

so that you may attain to faith, Iman.

00:14:06 --> 00:14:08

Then make faith a reality

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

so that you may attain to conviction. So

00:14:10 --> 00:14:12

we've seen this before from the Sheikh Al

00:14:12 --> 00:14:13

Iman,

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

and acknowledge things as they are. Thumal Iqan,

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

right? Make it tahakbuq, make actualize the Iman,

00:14:20 --> 00:14:22

then go to Iqan conviction.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

And every one of us has to do

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

some work to arrive at stronger certainty and

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

conviction.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

This is where they say is the ishtihad,

00:14:32 --> 00:14:34

Ifil Usul, Dun Al Furwa.

00:14:35 --> 00:14:36

So in terms of figuring how to pray

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

and fast and all and finding those rules,

00:14:39 --> 00:14:41

that's not a individual obligation. That's a communal

00:14:41 --> 00:14:43

obligation. And though there are those who have

00:14:43 --> 00:14:44

already done that on our behalf.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:46

But in terms of

00:14:47 --> 00:14:48

arriving at a greater,

00:14:48 --> 00:14:49

certainty or yateen

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

of all that there is and all that

00:14:53 --> 00:14:54

Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la has told us about,

00:14:55 --> 00:14:56

this is an individual

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

obligation. You know, those hobbies to say, inshaAllah

00:14:59 --> 00:15:00

taala, Nuqminsaa'ah.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:01

Let's go,

00:15:02 --> 00:15:04

you know, do iman for a little bit.

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

In other words, let's think about our blessings

00:15:06 --> 00:15:07

and think about the signs

00:15:08 --> 00:15:09

all around us.

00:15:09 --> 00:15:11

Let us engage in the dhikr of Allah,

00:15:12 --> 00:15:14

remembrance of Allah. These are all things that

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

will strengthen one's certainty.

00:15:18 --> 00:15:18

So

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

make faith a reality so that you may

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

attain to conviction, iqan,

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

for at that point you'll experience what you

00:15:24 --> 00:15:26

have never experienced before.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

Certitude will let you see things in their

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

true form

00:15:30 --> 00:15:32

as knowing My report gives way to witnessing

00:15:32 --> 00:15:33

directly.

00:15:33 --> 00:15:36

May I say Khabuluq al Muayana, very popular

00:15:36 --> 00:15:36

refrain.

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

Khabab you've been told about something. 'amal Wayana'

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

you've seen it.

00:15:42 --> 00:15:44

You know the veil has been lifted.

00:15:45 --> 00:15:47

Rufe Al Hijab. You see something

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

more clearly and real.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

Like, you can believe in Allah's mercy,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

on an intellectual basis but then to actually

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

taste it and feel it and see it

00:15:57 --> 00:15:58

manifested

00:15:59 --> 00:16:01

in you, is different. This is called then

00:16:01 --> 00:16:01

Mohayana.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:04

You have to actually see it or witness

00:16:04 --> 00:16:05

it.

00:16:06 --> 00:16:08

So certitude will let you see these things

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

in their true form. As learned by report

00:16:10 --> 00:16:11

gives you way to witnessing directly,

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

for it focuses the heart upon the Lord

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

of Truth and Haqq and shows it things

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

as they come from Him. And that's one

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

of the things. To see things as really

00:16:20 --> 00:16:21

coming from Allah,

00:16:22 --> 00:16:24

is kind of I would say the the,

00:16:25 --> 00:16:27

you know, the entry point

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

which we call Tuhhid al Afaal. And Tuhhid

00:16:30 --> 00:16:32

al Afaal, they call it wilayah suhra.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

So the the first stages of laya is

00:16:35 --> 00:16:36

to see everything,

00:16:37 --> 00:16:38

you're to shahid,

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

not just tumin,

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

not just to believe, but

00:16:42 --> 00:16:44

to witness that everything comes from Allah Subhana

00:16:44 --> 00:16:46

Wa Ta'la. That all the acts around us

00:16:47 --> 00:16:48

are from Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la. That's why

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

Abu Luv Mubarak had that Muhammeda.

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

Right? He said, oh we were 10 eggs

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

short because we must have been 1 egg

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

short somewhere else. So he sees it as

00:16:57 --> 00:16:59

going back to himself, to Allah. He didn't

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

ask the guy, why didn't you bring a

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

100 this time? What happened?

00:17:03 --> 00:17:04

Why only 90?

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

What's going on? He didn't get mad with

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

him or angry or anything like that, but

00:17:09 --> 00:17:09

he is

00:17:10 --> 00:17:11

processing the,

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

you know, the circumstances

00:17:13 --> 00:17:15

as they come to bear upon him and

00:17:15 --> 00:17:16

as they reveal themselves to him,

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

looking at,

00:17:18 --> 00:17:21

Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la as through the khalib,

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

through the prism of the Khaled.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

And that's Iqan, that's certainty when you when

00:17:25 --> 00:17:27

you live life like that.

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

So then he says, when the heart

00:17:33 --> 00:17:34

stands at the door of the Lord of

00:17:34 --> 00:17:35

truth,

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

the hand of noble generosity comes out to

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

meet it and treats it

00:17:39 --> 00:17:40

generously.

00:17:40 --> 00:17:42

Thus it becomes noble and altruistic,

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

behaving generously towards creatures and not begrudging them

00:17:46 --> 00:17:47

anything.

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

Right? So if you're Bahil,

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

it's because you have something you feel like

00:17:51 --> 00:17:53

you need to hold on to, it belongs

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

to you,

00:17:54 --> 00:17:55

and,

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

you're afraid if you give it up, you

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

lose something of yourself.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

Whereas

00:18:02 --> 00:18:03

the one who is

00:18:03 --> 00:18:06

doing the Muhammedah with Allah,

00:18:06 --> 00:18:07

number 1, what they received,

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

it's not theirs, it's from Allah.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:12

And then it's an Amanah, it's a trust

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

and so that they may distribute it in

00:18:14 --> 00:18:15

a manner that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala wants

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

to distribute it. So they don't even see

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

themselves as a giver.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:21

Right? They don't see, oh, I you know,

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

I donated x amount and I did this

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

and I built that thing. They see themselves

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

as

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

Allah put this trust in me and I

00:18:27 --> 00:18:29

just have to sign a check for him.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

But he is the one who built the

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

mosque and he is the one who funded

00:18:33 --> 00:18:34

the orphanage, and he is the one who

00:18:34 --> 00:18:36

built the school, and he is the one

00:18:36 --> 00:18:37

who built the wells.

00:18:38 --> 00:18:41

Not not this affiliation going back to,

00:18:42 --> 00:18:44

I did this and I did that and

00:18:44 --> 00:18:45

so forth.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:47

Because they see the hand of God in

00:18:47 --> 00:18:49

it. Right? They see that Allah Subhana Wa

00:18:49 --> 00:18:49

Ta'ala

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

Bish bin Musha hada. They witness that Allah

00:18:53 --> 00:18:54

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:18:54 --> 00:18:56

is the Muati, is the true giver.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

And if one of the names of Allah

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

that means no one can really

00:19:01 --> 00:19:03

participate with him. Filatfilatah.

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

Right? Because he is the one who gives.

00:19:06 --> 00:19:08

And Allah's names and attributes are unique to

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

Allah

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

Ta'ala. So we see him as

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

the true giver. And all we are are

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

the distributors as the prophet said about himself.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:20

And then I'm a '* qasim Allahu almati.

00:19:20 --> 00:19:22

I am a qasim, I know you could

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

distribute

00:19:23 --> 00:19:25

in terms of 'unum, in terms of knowledge,

00:19:25 --> 00:19:27

in terms of resources.

00:19:27 --> 00:19:30

Wallahu Hawan Watimab, but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:19:30 --> 00:19:32

is the one who is the true

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

giver.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:38

So the hand of noble generosity comes out

00:19:38 --> 00:19:40

to meet and meets it and treats it

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

generously.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:42

Thus

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

it becomes noble and altruistic,

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

behaving generously toward creatures and not begrudging them

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

anything. The sound heart, one that is worthy

00:19:49 --> 00:19:51

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is nobly

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

generous, kareem.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

And that's one of the attributes

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

of

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

the sound believer with a sound heart that

00:19:59 --> 00:20:00

they're generous.

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

The I believe the hadith says there are

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

2 attributes that cannot be found in in

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

a true believer which is

00:20:08 --> 00:20:09

bad character and stinginess.

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

Because these are

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

you know anathema to

00:20:15 --> 00:20:17

what a believer should be and they should

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

be generous. So generous of soul, which is

00:20:21 --> 00:20:22

the good character.

00:20:22 --> 00:20:25

Right? So you're pardoning, you're forgiving, you're, you

00:20:25 --> 00:20:27

know, kind of roll with the flow and

00:20:27 --> 00:20:29

the punches and learn to take one on

00:20:29 --> 00:20:30

the chin as they say.

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

That's part of,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:34

good character and

00:20:34 --> 00:20:35

they are

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

generous with

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

that which has been

00:20:40 --> 00:20:42

given to them, so that they may be

00:20:42 --> 00:20:43

generous with it.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:46

So we don't find stinginess and bad character

00:20:46 --> 00:20:49

in someone who has reached Kemal and iman.

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

Someone who has reached the highest levels of

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

Iman and certainly not in the Awliya. Awliya.

00:20:56 --> 00:20:57

And we know the hadith of the prophet,

00:20:57 --> 00:20:59

sallallahu alaihi wasallam, concerning this particular month that

00:20:59 --> 00:20:59

Jibril,

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

said about the prophet,

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

that he was the most generous of people.

00:21:06 --> 00:21:08

He was most generous in the month of

00:21:08 --> 00:21:08

Ramadan,

00:21:09 --> 00:21:11

kariha al musayah, like

00:21:12 --> 00:21:14

the gentle breeze. So he had generosity of

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

soul and generosity also of of hand, of

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

resources.

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

Then he says the innermost being, the seer,

00:21:23 --> 00:21:25

one that has been purified of murky confusion

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

is nobly generous.

00:21:28 --> 00:21:31

So the Sir also can be generous. So

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

what is the Sir? The innermost being.

00:21:33 --> 00:21:35

And that is what

00:21:35 --> 00:21:36

it receives

00:21:36 --> 00:21:37

the Mahani,

00:21:38 --> 00:21:40

the nafaha, the illhamat,

00:21:41 --> 00:21:43

from Allah Subhaqqai'ala directly.

00:21:44 --> 00:21:46

Right? Comes to your Sir, comes to your

00:21:46 --> 00:21:48

innermost being. The same Sir that,

00:21:49 --> 00:21:52

applied in the affirmative when it was asked,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:52

'Allastuqurabbika

00:21:53 --> 00:21:55

Mawinat your Lord.' And it said, 'Bala shahidna.'

00:21:56 --> 00:21:57

Truly we have

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

witnessed. And so the generosity of your Sir,

00:22:01 --> 00:22:02

of your innermost being,

00:22:03 --> 00:22:05

means that it's going to be

00:22:05 --> 00:22:06

freely

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

giving.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:09

Freely giving means, as I said,

00:22:10 --> 00:22:11

able to absorb people

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

and also

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

able to embody the state

00:22:16 --> 00:22:17

that will bring people

00:22:18 --> 00:22:19

to Babullah, that will bring people to the

00:22:19 --> 00:22:20

door of Allah

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

And that's why when we're around people who

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

we know to have some

00:22:24 --> 00:22:26

some type of secret that Allah has given

00:22:26 --> 00:22:27

them, there's this raha.

00:22:28 --> 00:22:30

There's this ease and there's this,

00:22:30 --> 00:22:32

like all your hunum,

00:22:32 --> 00:22:34

all of the things that you were worried

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

about and and your your trepidations and your

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

worries and your anxieties

00:22:38 --> 00:22:38

go away.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:40

And many of us have remarked like, we

00:22:40 --> 00:22:42

would have all these questions and then we're

00:22:42 --> 00:22:44

in the presence of this person and then

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

no more questions.

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

There's nothing that's really, pressing now anymore. Everything

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

just feels

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

like the way it's supposed to be. Right?

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

And that iyakim

00:22:54 --> 00:22:56

that we find in the uliyat,

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

it's like,

00:22:58 --> 00:22:59

you know, it's contagious

00:23:00 --> 00:23:01

for lack of a better word. Maybe not

00:23:01 --> 00:23:04

the best word to say in these particular

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

times but, you know, you just be in

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

the proximity,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:09

of these people. And proximity doesn't mean it

00:23:09 --> 00:23:10

have to mean physical closeness.

00:23:11 --> 00:23:13

It could also mean spiritual closeness. You know,

00:23:13 --> 00:23:15

you could be separated by

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

1,000 of miles

00:23:17 --> 00:23:19

or you can be even separated by 100

00:23:19 --> 00:23:21

of years and centuries. But if you have

00:23:21 --> 00:23:22

the connection,

00:23:22 --> 00:23:24

if you have the silah to them, even

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

if they've gone and passed to the next

00:23:25 --> 00:23:26

world,

00:23:26 --> 00:23:28

but your love for them

00:23:28 --> 00:23:30

will, will connect you to them. So our

00:23:30 --> 00:23:32

love for the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

00:23:32 --> 00:23:34

connects us to him, salallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:23:34 --> 00:23:37

And then that utmost yaqeen that no one

00:23:37 --> 00:23:38

had more than him or I will have

00:23:38 --> 00:23:40

more than our prophet, salallahu alaihi wa sallam,

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

then can find its way into our heart.

00:23:43 --> 00:23:44

And that Silah

00:23:47 --> 00:23:47

is strengthened

00:23:48 --> 00:23:49

by Mahabra,

00:23:49 --> 00:23:52

by love. So Mahabra is the only thing,

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

it's the only force that can traverse

00:23:55 --> 00:23:57

miles and distances and kilometers and deserts and

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

rivers and mountain passes.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:01

And it's the only thing also that can

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

time travel, for lack of a better word.

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

So

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

you don't have to be connected even.

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

You don't have to be contemporaneous. You don't

00:24:11 --> 00:24:12

have to be living in the same time.

00:24:13 --> 00:24:15

But the love of someone, even if they

00:24:15 --> 00:24:16

were 100 of years ago or even 1000

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

years ago,

00:24:18 --> 00:24:19

need that be a barrier

00:24:20 --> 00:24:21

to having a connection,

00:24:22 --> 00:24:23

a spiritual one to

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

to that person.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:27

So,

00:24:36 --> 00:24:37

one paragraph down, I think I'll just read

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

the English also. It's kind of connected to

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

discussion. He said the self, the nafs, is

00:24:43 --> 00:24:44

what keeps you screened from him.

00:24:45 --> 00:24:47

So when it fades from the scene,

00:24:47 --> 00:24:51

the obstacle disappears. This is why Abu Yazid

00:24:51 --> 00:24:51

Al Bustami,

00:24:52 --> 00:24:54

Rahimahullah once said, I saw my Lord in

00:24:54 --> 00:24:55

a dream so I said to him, how

00:24:55 --> 00:24:57

is the way to you, O creator

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

God?'

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

He

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

replied, leave your own self and come hither.

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

So I sloughed it off as a snake

00:25:05 --> 00:25:06

sloughs off its skin.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:09

The eye of the Lord of Truth was

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

only on the self, not on anything else.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

And he ordered him to leave it behind

00:25:13 --> 00:25:15

because this world is what it contains,

00:25:16 --> 00:25:17

as well as everything whatsoever apart from the

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

word of truth, al Haqq is subordinate to

00:25:19 --> 00:25:20

the self.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

This world belongs to it and

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

it's Mahuba, it's beloved, and the hereafter belongs

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

to it too, for all Islam has said.

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

And therein is that also is enfos,

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

desire and eyes.

00:25:33 --> 00:25:35

Quite sweet talking about the next life.

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

So these these Mahany, we might read about

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

them or these meanings and say, wow, that

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

really sounds far off, so it sounds really

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

nice.

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

But I am so far away from that.

00:25:53 --> 00:25:54

I'm so distracted

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

with dunya and not even dunya but just,

00:25:58 --> 00:25:58

you know,

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

children

00:26:00 --> 00:26:04

and job and bank account and, you know,

00:26:04 --> 00:26:06

getting through the next day and

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

in laws,

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

and, you know, all sorts of things that

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

people that keep them distracted. And,

00:26:12 --> 00:26:14

Allah is not asking us to eliminate all

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

those things. Everyone's gonna have their circumstances.

00:26:17 --> 00:26:19

Don't think that Abdul Laban Lou Bawak or

00:26:19 --> 00:26:20

Abu Yazidid Dostami,

00:26:21 --> 00:26:22

or,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:23

any of the others. Many of them that

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

we've talked about were all hermits and lived

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

alone

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

and just did practice Siyaha,

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

right, in in the classic sense of the

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

meaning of the word. So Siyaha today, we

00:26:35 --> 00:26:35

think tourism.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

But Siyaha back then, siyahu phal gya. I

00:26:39 --> 00:26:41

mean, they, you know, they traveled, and they

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

saw things, and they looked for the signs

00:26:43 --> 00:26:45

of God in different places and they weren't

00:26:45 --> 00:26:47

known anywhere and so they were able to

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

move freely.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:49

Some of them did that for a while

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

and some did that for a long while.

00:26:51 --> 00:26:52

But many many of them, in fact the

00:26:52 --> 00:26:54

vast majority of them were not like that.

00:26:54 --> 00:26:56

They all had lives and they have families

00:26:56 --> 00:26:56

and they had

00:26:57 --> 00:26:58

even some of them had,

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

businesses and some of them were merchants. And

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

Abu Hanifa was a silk merchant and

00:27:04 --> 00:27:05

some of them had,

00:27:06 --> 00:27:06

you know,

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

jobs as judges and

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

muftis. And they had to administer over

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

supervised al Qaf endowments

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

that, you know, looked over a series or

00:27:19 --> 00:27:20

multiple,

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

institutions. So

00:27:23 --> 00:27:24

they had that. And they had families and

00:27:24 --> 00:27:26

they had in laws and they had,

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

you know, children and and some of them

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

and and their wife or wives. Some of

00:27:30 --> 00:27:32

them were married to more than 1.

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

And some of them dealt with difficulty and,

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

you know, one story that we retell all

00:27:38 --> 00:27:39

the time that

00:27:39 --> 00:27:40

I'm risking

00:27:41 --> 00:27:43

my own health a little bit for for

00:27:43 --> 00:27:44

recounting it. But

00:27:44 --> 00:27:45

this actually

00:27:46 --> 00:27:48

in the tafsir or the other class,

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

we're reading or taking some points from Ibn

00:27:51 --> 00:27:52

Hajiba,

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

Muhammad ibn Najeeba. And Ibn Najeeba, he had

00:27:54 --> 00:27:56

a wife that he talks about.

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

And

00:27:58 --> 00:28:00

she said that she was very cruel to

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

me.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:02

She would,

00:28:03 --> 00:28:04

lock me out of the house

00:28:05 --> 00:28:05

and

00:28:05 --> 00:28:08

one time she pushed him down the stairs

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

and things like that. And so he,

00:28:12 --> 00:28:14

he actually had other wives and he said,

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

I'm not gonna divorce her, I'm gonna leave

00:28:15 --> 00:28:16

her because,

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

it's better that I have to contend with

00:28:19 --> 00:28:21

her, I have to deal with her and

00:28:21 --> 00:28:22

I know how to deal with her and

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

I can absorb

00:28:23 --> 00:28:24

the abuse,

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

rather than someone else have to endure that.

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

So

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

he said I could do it for you,

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

wajila, and I do that as

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

for, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

So obviously not to make light of

00:28:37 --> 00:28:39

domestic abuse or anything like that, because it

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

does go both ways. But for in Ibn

00:28:42 --> 00:28:43

Hajiba, he's

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

he's kind of making the point,

00:28:46 --> 00:28:48

that he had difficulties in life too. And

00:28:48 --> 00:28:50

he had, you know, some of them had

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

children that or didn't grow up to be

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

like the the sheikh Imam Malik had said

00:28:54 --> 00:28:55

that his son

00:28:56 --> 00:28:57

was not at all interested in anything of

00:28:57 --> 00:28:59

any man. It was his daughter who would

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

put her her ear by the door and

00:29:01 --> 00:29:03

hear the the classes that were going on

00:29:03 --> 00:29:06

and the hadith being narrated. And she became

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

a a Alima

00:29:07 --> 00:29:09

and yet, the one of the sons was

00:29:09 --> 00:29:10

not interested.

00:29:10 --> 00:29:12

So, you know, they all had their issues.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:14

They all had things in life. And

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

just because someone considered them to be a

00:29:17 --> 00:29:18

wedi or a mihael kebab or one of

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

the saints or, you know,

00:29:21 --> 00:29:23

full package Muslim, whatever you wanna call it,

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

didn't mean they didn't have, you know, their

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

circumstances and difficulties in life. And doesn't mean

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is gonna kind of

00:29:30 --> 00:29:31

brush that all aside

00:29:31 --> 00:29:34

So you can kind of camp out and,

00:29:34 --> 00:29:36

and live a hermit like lifestyle somewhere and

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

be this ascetic who just, you know, worships

00:29:39 --> 00:29:40

Allah and

00:29:40 --> 00:29:41

prays to him and

00:29:43 --> 00:29:46

you know, has no concerns about the dunya.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

So all of this is saying that you're

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

gonna have all those things,

00:29:51 --> 00:29:52

but

00:29:52 --> 00:29:54

live your deen

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

and live it properly

00:29:56 --> 00:29:57

even with dunya around you.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

And if you look at all of

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

the Akhem, all of the rulings,

00:30:03 --> 00:30:04

specifically that deal with

00:30:05 --> 00:30:08

dealing with other people. Marriage, divorce, commercial law,

00:30:08 --> 00:30:09

transaction law,

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

inheritance,

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

the whole adeb and etiquette,

00:30:14 --> 00:30:16

you know. How to deal with one's teacher

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

and one's neighbor and you know, all of

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

those

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

different rulings that apply and etiquettes and adab.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:24

Obviously Islam was meant to

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

be lived

00:30:27 --> 00:30:29

in a civil society. In other words

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

you're surrounded by people not to be, you

00:30:32 --> 00:30:35

know, not not to be practiced necessarily in

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

some frontier land where everyone's kinda by themselves.

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

And if you looked where Islam actually thrived,

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

it was in places that were Muqaddadin,

00:30:44 --> 00:30:45

places that were urban.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:46

And

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

that were, you know, people lived in close

00:30:49 --> 00:30:50

proximity

00:30:50 --> 00:30:54

with one another. And people generally saw one

00:30:54 --> 00:30:56

another quite frequently throughout the day.

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

You know, the 5 daily prayers that are

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

are preferably done in congregation means you're interacting

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

with people perhaps

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

5 times a day. You know. And in

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

light of the situation we're in now that

00:31:07 --> 00:31:08

sounds like

00:31:08 --> 00:31:11

something very traditional and old and like a

00:31:11 --> 00:31:12

of a time

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

a bygone time. But

00:31:14 --> 00:31:17

for many that's that's how Islam thrived. The

00:31:17 --> 00:31:19

interaction and the cross cultural

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

exchange and exchange of ideas and

00:31:23 --> 00:31:24

kind of this communal living,

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

as it were. And so there was a

00:31:27 --> 00:31:28

need to,

00:31:29 --> 00:31:30

you know, to to be able to deal

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

with people and deal with your circumstances

00:31:33 --> 00:31:35

and, be able to also worship your Lord

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

at the same time.

00:31:36 --> 00:31:38

And even, you know, this idea that the

00:31:38 --> 00:31:41

sheikh kind of alludes to. Al khalwa frilljawa.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

Right? They say you're khalwa,

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

your detachment

00:31:46 --> 00:31:46

from dunya.

00:31:57 --> 00:31:59

So we're saying in Hispreet

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

that then dissipate and you don't find

00:32:02 --> 00:32:04

when you're in the janwa, when you're amongst

00:32:04 --> 00:32:06

people. So if it only comes to you,

00:32:06 --> 00:32:08

if you only feel like that when you're

00:32:08 --> 00:32:09

all by yourself and then when you're amongst

00:32:09 --> 00:32:11

people, it all goes away, then your khalwa

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

wasn't sahihah. Right? It was not completely

00:32:16 --> 00:32:16

effective

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

or a 100% valid

00:32:19 --> 00:32:21

because those meanings are supposed to charge you

00:32:21 --> 00:32:22

and

00:32:22 --> 00:32:24

you're supposed to store them, right, in your

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

in your storage

00:32:27 --> 00:32:28

banks. And then when you go out to

00:32:28 --> 00:32:29

society, you go out to life, you still

00:32:29 --> 00:32:31

have them with you. So then you have

00:32:31 --> 00:32:32

al khalwa, al janwa.

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

But if your khalwa

00:32:34 --> 00:32:35

is only operative

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

when

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

you physically remove everything and everyone is far

00:32:39 --> 00:32:41

away from you and then it only works,

00:32:41 --> 00:32:43

then it has something to do more with

00:32:43 --> 00:32:44

your nafs.

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

Right? It's it's supposed to penetrate the nafs

00:32:47 --> 00:32:49

and get to the, you know, the you

00:32:49 --> 00:32:51

know, the the outer rim, as it were,

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

of of the soul and of the seer,

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

and penetrate there.

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

But if it only gets to the level

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

of the nafs, of the ego, and the

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

ego has some sort of like,

00:33:02 --> 00:33:04

nazda or pleasure or, you know, allotment and

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

say, oh, look. I did a khalwa.

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

I spent 2 hours at night over myself

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

and I read Quran.

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

Okay. And then we go and commemorate, check

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

out the world and then

00:33:14 --> 00:33:16

you don't have that, Kallua. You still

00:33:17 --> 00:33:20

have the the Ma'ani of, you know,

00:33:20 --> 00:33:21

of longing and

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

and seeking the dunya, then

00:33:24 --> 00:33:25

khalwa

00:33:25 --> 00:33:28

well, there was khalal in your khalwa. There

00:33:28 --> 00:33:30

were holes in in the way that you

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

did the khalwa,

00:33:35 --> 00:33:36

So, the palm is quickly,

00:33:38 --> 00:33:39

slipping away.

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

I'm gonna read one more

00:33:49 --> 00:33:49

excerpt.

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

And I think that will be

00:33:58 --> 00:33:59

kind of the last

00:34:02 --> 00:34:02

paragraph,

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

so to speak, of this this

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

this this course. That's on page

00:34:09 --> 00:34:10

306,

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

for those who are following.

00:34:59 --> 00:35:01

So he says you must remember

00:35:02 --> 00:35:03

the Lord of the truth, first with your

00:35:03 --> 00:35:06

heart, your qal, then secondly with your outer

00:35:06 --> 00:35:07

form.

00:35:08 --> 00:35:08

So

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

start with the inner. And we see this

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

is what sheikh has been saying over and

00:35:13 --> 00:35:15

over. Remember him a 1000 times with your

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

heart and once with your tongue.

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

So

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

the remembrance of the tongue is supposed to

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

be a means to get the remembrance of

00:35:23 --> 00:35:25

the heart. And that's why Ibn Ghazali said

00:35:25 --> 00:35:28

that the krukal is higher than the krukal

00:35:28 --> 00:35:30

is To the remembrance of heart is higher

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

than the remembrance of the tongue. So the

00:35:31 --> 00:35:33

remembrance of the tongue is supposed to be

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

a reminder. But then

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

what is the dhikr of the heart? It's

00:35:36 --> 00:35:38

the haloor. It's the remembrance. It's being in

00:35:38 --> 00:35:40

the hadar. It's your awareness that Allah is

00:35:40 --> 00:35:42

aware of you. It's you seeing Allah Subhanahu

00:35:42 --> 00:35:43

Wa Ta'ala

00:35:44 --> 00:35:47

manifested His name and attributes and all things

00:35:47 --> 00:35:47

around you.

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

So on the advent of misfortunes, remember Him

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

with patience.

00:35:52 --> 00:35:55

Right? Something happens, go back to Allah Subhana

00:35:55 --> 00:35:57

Wa Ta'la. If it's a misfortune, go back

00:35:57 --> 00:35:57

to Him with

00:35:58 --> 00:35:59

patience. On the advent of this world something

00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

of dunya comes, go back to Him with

00:36:02 --> 00:36:03

zuhud, with renunciation.

00:36:03 --> 00:36:05

On the advent of the Hereafter, then go

00:36:05 --> 00:36:07

back to Him with acceptance, tsukul of the

00:36:07 --> 00:36:09

world of the Hereafter that's coming. On the

00:36:09 --> 00:36:11

advent of the Lord of truth, hakitajalalak,

00:36:12 --> 00:36:13

then

00:36:13 --> 00:36:15

go back to him with tawhid.

00:36:15 --> 00:36:17

See him as 1 and only, as a

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

sovereign.

00:36:18 --> 00:36:20

And on the advent of anything else whatsoever,

00:36:20 --> 00:36:22

with rejection. So anything that is not gonna

00:36:22 --> 00:36:24

bring you to his door, or that's gonna

00:36:24 --> 00:36:26

move you away from the door of God,

00:36:26 --> 00:36:27

reject it.

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

If you slacken the reins of your own

00:36:29 --> 00:36:30

self, it will bolt with you and throw

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

you. You must control it with the bridle

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

of pious restraint and warah, to be scrupulous,

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

and give up tittle tattle, what he's

00:36:39 --> 00:36:41

I'll call it waltli, what people say back

00:36:41 --> 00:36:43

and forth and gossip and rumor mill and,

00:36:44 --> 00:36:44

innuendo

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

and what this person do and, you know,

00:36:48 --> 00:36:49

you know, what what

00:36:51 --> 00:36:54

what's Kim Kardashian's dog's name and whatever people

00:36:54 --> 00:36:54

talk about.

00:36:55 --> 00:36:59

Tilo Adkhan. Remembering death will purify your heart

00:36:59 --> 00:37:02

and make you hate this world and Alkhan.

00:37:02 --> 00:37:04

Right? In as much as it keeps you

00:37:04 --> 00:37:05

away from God.

00:37:05 --> 00:37:07

The veil will be lifted from your heart,

00:37:07 --> 00:37:09

so you will see that creatures are transitory,

00:37:09 --> 00:37:13

lifeless, perishable, feeble, containing neither harm or benefit

00:37:13 --> 00:37:15

and the true harm or benefit coming from

00:37:15 --> 00:37:16

Allah

00:37:16 --> 00:37:17

subha'ala alone.
