I mean, a lot more suddenly was sending more Varrick.
I mean, so you didn't Mohammed Abdullah while Ernie was Harvey he
was already at the regatta he he was Where do you want to say
that'd be heady? He was still in the vicinity of where they will be
Dean
learning from them about so humbled. We're continuing to read
from the 62 discourses of St. Louis Schiff. I love what he did,
or the other jewelry or the law and who at GitHub during the
summer, the photographer Bernie once later, there are many, the
divine
revelation and the
Merciful. One in particular, has, I think, many very useful useful
things that Schiff says so I'm hoping that she'll try to read
most of it.
Inshallah, so we'll begin right from the top. What he says a
little bit of Iron
Man rather older and yes redonkulous ly as origin for
Vietnam's economy out
of aluminum Zuckerberg Finestra, who you saw in one effort, while
at the Himalaya and Africa While America while Well, that could be
Ireland will be mini either doomed to either dedicate
more Africa, but since I would prefer to be solely helpful where
you have when you do okay, whether
you bet the Mau factor water, let's read off, you highlighted
whether you can you are moving collegia anymore, McCarran
Kenny, at the Kalam, he just said something
that I think in just a few lines, he summarizes kind of the whole
what would say the whole loss or the the essential aspect of this
idea of contentment with the color of the last panel that most of us
we struggle with regularly.
So he said, if someone wishes to receive contentment with the
judgment of the Lord his decree
so again,
let him practice constant remembrance of death. For
remembering death makes afflictions and misfortune seem
insignificant. You must not be distrustful of his intentions
toward yourself and Allah's intentions,
your property or your children. But say, My Lord knows better than
I do. If you always maintain this attitude, you will experience the
pleasure of contentment and compliance. Right and without one
more fatwa. So compliance,
I would say spiritual compliance, right? It's not talking about
compliance of the Command of Allah subhanaw taala. In terms of tech
leaf, right, in terms of Halal haram, pray fast is going back by
that's we call that already a good tech leaving, but you're seeing
compliance with tech weenie, right, last month out of saying,
going for your code and be in it is that compliance,
which you calls a shift in Arabic and more of UCLA.
So he says, If you always maintain this attitude, you will experience
the pleasure of contentment, and compliance, right? There's another
spiritual one, a sort of spiritual fulfillment and ease that comes
about when you're no longer objecting to Allah Spano are no
longer saying, in your hearts. Why this? And why that? And why not
this way? And why is this happening this way? This is when
as right, we want more, more of that is, this is what allows you
to create he knows better than I do. He's not going I'm not he's
not going to be less concerned with my children, or my house, or
with my wealth, or with my parents or with my siblings? And if so,
why does it matter to him as well? So why do I constantly
seek to second guess let's say the best way to say it or question,
why this way and why that way. So he says, If you do this, you will
experience the pleasure of contentment, and compliance. So
with the current note, alright, so the remembrance of death.
He says, because it makes afflictions and misfortune
seemingly insignificant, so whatever you're gonna go through,
eventually, it's all going to be gone. Well, we're gonna die one
day anyway. And at that point, all of these little things that kind
of we were hung up on and that recording causing us this kind of
mental and spiritual distress will seem so insignificant. And our
trepidation about anxiety about it will feel very, very misplaced.
And we all know that certainly in the grave, but the shift through
his word, what he's trying to convey to us is, you can feel that
way now.
You don't have to wait to get to the grave you can see how
insignificant it is, and how trivial it is, if you live it if
you make a stat or if you remember it.
So, if you always maintain this attitude, you will experience the
pleasure of contentment and compliance, misfortunes will
depart root and branch, what have you avoid to say that, alright,
and also move forward. So, also of misfortunes, you know, the roots
of misfortunes of, you know, and then you have the little other
misfortunes the branch that come out of them. So, we know, anxiety
bring breeds anxiety, so you worry about one little thing, and then
there's five others little things that come as a result of that one
little thing that you're worrying about, and then your mind goes far
away. And you think about, well, you know, if I don't
succeed at this particular thing, then all these five other things
are not going to happen in time, and then life will be very
difficult, and then all these things will happen. You know, and
you're living in this dilemma, right? It's like a, you know, like
the mouse in the, in the cartwheel just running around, but not going
anywhere.
So Petropoulos count and mocha winners battle, says addicts,
leave them alone, leave the creation, those things, and go to
the ones who's making them as they are recovering, the one who's
making them be and then they become, and then they remain and
then they diminish and then they go away all because of the command
of configurable.
So we have so much well, is that right? You can erase things and
you can confirm things. Almost.
misfortunes will depart root and branch and in their place, you
will receive blessings and delights. When you're compliant
and happily contented conditions of adversity. blessings will come
to you from all sides and from everywhere.
Well, aren't you are you who are neglectful of him, he must not be
distracted from him by seeking anything, but him.
How often you ask him to provide you with affluence, but this may
be a temptation for you, without you realizing it, right. You want
things to be easy, and you want wealth and you want money and you
want property and you want things to go smoothly and what we
consider to be signs of success. You may ask for all those things.
But he said here
how often you ask them to provide you with affluence, but this may
be a temptation for you, without you realizing it.
You do not know the good in anything so keep silent can form
and ask him to grant you contentment with his actions with
his file. And gratitude under all circumstances. After a provision
is a temptation in the absence of gratitude, while shortage of
sustenance is a temptation when patients is like hiding at the
border. They're having this is a golden state of New Mexico, I'll
repeat it.
Affluent provision is a temptation. It's a fitna in the
absence of gratitude. So having affluence is not necessarily
namah. It's not a blessing. The blessing is, if you can be
thankful for it, if you can show gratitude for if you cannot, or
you don't have that it's not a blessing anymore for you, then it
becomes an fitna, then it becomes a temptation or a test.
And he says, While shortage of sustenance, is a temptation when
patience is lacking. So the
shortage of it, or what you consider to be the shortage of
your sustenance, of our lack of affluence will be a fitna for you.
If you're not patient with it, if you're patient with it, you have
supper, then it becomes enamored. So it's not about what you have or
what you don't have. It's about how do you treat that which you do
have or don't have in terms of what Allah assigns you? What He
decrees for you. Alright, how do you contend with that guests? You
know, we use the parable of the guest house of rule. And I'm only
here as the guest of difficulty here as the guest of ease. How
would you treat that guest? Well, each guest has to be treated in
the proper way according to the disposition of that guest. So you
have the guest of affluence, then treated properly, by showing
gratitude, you have the desk of guest of adversity and difficulty
coming away, then also treated properly by showing forbearance
and patience.
That's why he said you do not know the good in anything. So keep
silent conform and ask him to grant you contentment. That's why
the other binder, the other works application with things that we
don't know there are things that we don't know whether they're
going to be good for us or bad for us, then we do it in a way that
smooth forward. It along so if we it means we live the answer to
Allah subhanaw taala. And we do it in the form of istikhara. Seeking
the good of it. So what we're not we're not asking for that thing in
particular, we're asking for that thing. If it's good for us, that
should be the way we see it. So whether you you know, move to this
particular place or take this particular job or whatever it
might be, seek the good of it in
things that are put up, right and things that the charity has
assigned as ways of getting closer to Allah subhanaw taala than we
asked for them that allows us to fulfill them. So you want to go to
Hajj,
then go to hajj when you have to meet and go, if you want to, you
know, we don't miss it gets too hot about whether we should pray
the five prayers or not. Because the last one time has already told
us this is good. This is what I came in to do. So anything that
will also want to have comments from us, is always going to be
good. So it's redundant to say Oh, Allah make this easy. For me. It's
good. Let me do the five pros if it's good for me, or the others,
right? Nobody does that that's kind of nonsensical to do that.
But in terms of things, we don't know that what it's good for us or
not, because it's an element like that. Right? It's from amongst
it's from the world the unseen. Then the etiquette that is to let
ALLAH SubhanA determine that for us.
That's why he said remain silent and conform right to the decree
and ask him to graduate the contentment, right, because
otherwise you Dini, right. It is something that is, you know,
obligatory, at least we're commanded to be, you know, amen.
Because believe it or shrubbery, so even in the clutter, right in
the decree of Allah smart Allah failure shall be means the highest
form of that demand from the man as it an event from the stages of
events to be morphic is to be your body is to be content with it is
to be compliant with it, whichever way it may come.
Gratitude will bring you more blessings, and draw you closer to
your Lord while patients will put your heart on a firm footing, give
it support and assistance and help it to succeed. So each one has a
particular outcome. And that means when Allah subhanaw taala sends
one or the other towards you, then it really is for your own benefit.
And if you see it as for your benefit, why would I not be
contented with that. So there are things that you'll get out of
gratitude, for example, or sugar that you may not find in the
Macomb or the place of suburb of patients and vice versa, those
things that can only get the patience that will not come about
with the gratitude. And so we want our Eman to be sort of
comprehensive and complete and holistic and and surefooted and
not susceptible to certain a occurrences then that will weaken
the footing underneath us. And so Allah subhanaw taala there is this
process of demons as we've said many times before the prophets I
said mentioned by himself, definitely Rami fascinated me, my
Lord has inculcated other than me and he's the one best one to do
that. And so via the ups and downs and ebbs and flows and hills and
valleys of life,
you will find if you are doing this as he's gonna mention later
the software with Allah subhanaw taala. So I'm taking a loss about
Allah as my Sahib. Right as the Prophet SAW Selim said in a hadith
enter Sahib of his suffer, you are my companion in my travel. So
whether it's a physical travel from A to B, or the big, large
travel that we all are doing from cradle to the grave, that travel,
we say, in our heart to Allah subhanaw taala into Sahaba. For
suffer, you are our companion in this journey.
And so taking a lot smarter as our companion in this journey, that
means
let him, guide them out, let Him guide the camera. And he even
brings up this example a little bit.
So, we'll say that again. He says gratitude will bring you more
blessings and draw you closer to your Lord at the COVID A lot of
patients will put your heart on a firm footing, give it support and
assistance and hope to succeed. It will then have a praiseworthy
outcome in this world and hereafter, resistance to a heart
to the Lord of truth is unlawful, right what we call this Manasa. It
darkens the heart and the face, right? The anxiety, the worry, the
you know, what can I do? And then the feeling of helplessness in the
face of all those things. But you can take that feeling of
helplessness and channel in a positive way or you can fall back
on it in a very negative way. Like almost falling on your sword. It's
almost a spiritual suicide. If you'd let that helplessness drive
you to despair. Where I'm helpless, I can't do anything.
There's nothing I can do. The situation is desperate. All is
lost. Or you can say subhanallah I'm hopeless. And I am for clear,
but Ullswater whole journey and what's what are the whole
following? What was wrong? How will my team or family my God,
he's all those things that I'm not and so I should then grab on to
have the nettle Mateen right. Strong rope of Allah subhanaw
taala to lift me out of an avoid this situation of despair. Right
we should never as Muslims in short, we should never call the
state of despair. We fall into
was state of despair because we look back on ourselves and we see
that there's nothing there. But don't stop there. Yeah, there's
nothing that's true. But go to the next
point you're supposed to go to the next station that you're supposed
to reach. You realize your own incapacity you realize your own
inability yours own weakness. And then you realize the greatness and
the omniscience and omnipotence of the one who can grant anything,
namely, the last panel talk.
So he says Warren to you, instead of letting your lower self
work in opposition, you should keep it busy pleading with the
Lord of truth. Keep it preoccupied with this until the times of
tribulations are over.
And the fires of misfortune are extinguished. So Allah is giving
you tribulation because he wants you to go back to him. So go back
to him, plead with him. Don't complain to anyone. If you're
going to complain and want to complain to all the last panel
right? Make your Shukla it Allah as our prophesizing escuela data
quality or quality that you will have any other Ness yarrabilba
will start off in that was a point of the province. I said let's see
how he turned to his Lord in that particular McCollum that he was in
just after a talk if, right and it seemed like situation was
difficult, even these people that you had hopes that perhaps they
would listen, they practically ran him out of the town and having
the, you know, the humble servants and young children throwing rocks
at him as he's leaving. And they had hands of protecting the
promise till he retreated to the stem about this to the garden of
our deaths. And that's what he said under the tree. And he said
those very
powerful and profound words, Ash called the lake Dafoe with the
Chautauqua. It's not a complaint but
a acknowledgement of situation. Botha, Kuwaiti, my weakness and
good healer. Right. And perhaps maybe I wasn't, you know, the
healer I wasn't eloquent enough. I didn't say it right to them. The
Dow wasn't straight with them. Well, how many Islanders? Right,
and so they didn't take me very seriously. Yeah, it'll be the most
often right, and you're still laughing. So the Lord of the ones
who are weak, and more specifically, the ones who see
themselves as weak, right, and that's what we truly are. Once
that's, that's a huge door, if you can get through that door, and you
get to the other side. The other side is is what the chef has
described. There will be ease and facilitation and lead and
spiritual comfort and contentment and no more trepidation or anxiety
but, you know, you will feel they say the coolness of Allah's
decree. So whether it's something that is clear or something that is
shown something that is easy, something is difficult, you can
choose to make it into a fitna or you make it into an error. And now
I'm at the edge Malka, Allah, Allah will fitna metaphoric Oka.
That's what they said. Then Yama is the thing that brings you right
literally the words that get you Malka brings all of you to Allah
subhanaw taala. So your Auckland, your rock, your silver, your
spiritual neffs limbs, brings you all into with Allah subhanaw taala
well fitna, too far Evoca to shut down, okay. And the fitna is the
opposite the trial, the temptation that tribulation is that which
to forget what to shut it right, it splits you up. It has you going
in all different directions, it have you, you know, oscillating
between, you know, thinking this thing and thinking that thing and
not sure of yourself and not sure of your email, I think all was
lost. And this is exactly where she kind of wants to have you
slip. And then it gets you into the point of desperation. But
doesn't matter the outside circumstance, whether it's
something of ease, or something of
bliss or affluence or whatever it might be making a Namur by
treating the guests properly, so give it some of some of his needed
patients when patients needed gratitude shock or when it's
needed as well.
So he says oh, you claim to sick
or you currently seeking truth Where do you stand in relation to
the one who is familiar with the treasure houses of His mercy on
Rama and as long as muhabba so plead with him on you on the road
before attaining to him?
Right public school, so as you are making your way towards this more
intimate knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala it needs pleading
it needs to hear God perhaps waking up in the night and praying
and pleading when no one else sees you and no one else is aware of
it. Even if you're lying in your bed at night before you go to
sleep. The core of Allah subhanaw taala asking Allah subhanaw taala
asking for tofield keep knocking at the doors what he's saying.
So when you are perplexed, he says oh guide of the Perplexed guidance
which
was fun
when
and when you are put to the test and capable of patients say, you
know he helped me Give me patients and Gregory relief played with
him. No one else
asked when you have arrived and your heart is admitted to his
presence and draw near to Him, there is no need to ask no, you
know, no use for the tongue, but only silence and witnessing. You
become a guest.
And the guest does not express his own wishes, his own wishes. Here's
a different McLamb that the ship is talking about. So he's talking
about McLemore Selleck, or worried so as you're making your way
along, plead with Him, ask Him if you feel trepidation, anxiety in
your heart, ask Allah subhanaw taala.
And do so with your tongue and do so with your heart. But he says
when you have arrived, and your heart is admitted to his presence
and hovered here and wrote to him, then there is no need to ask no
use for the tongue but only silence and witnessing, as you've
not said,
rob them at the level with Adam Adams.
Perhaps the edit that they feel in the heart of the time that
particular place they're in tell them not to ask, right. Like we
said in the Mohammed Ibrahim Ibrahim alayhi salam when he was
putting the catapult and thrown into the fire pit. He said has
we're not here and so early enough, my lord knows my situation
that I don't need to ask. Right? Because there's a theater. There's
a confidence and a trust in Allah subhanaw taala? Well, it's not
like he's unaware of what's going on. He sees what's going on. So I
should not be asking him to remind him. So whether you're a Santa
Clara, if you don't ask a loss on Isla, to remind them oh, by the
way, did you notice that? You know, I lost my job last week and
my unemployment benefits and come in. And I keep asking for that to
be forthcoming ask Yes. Or forthcoming and in a way so that
you can realize your incapacity was the one who was capable, not
because you think you are reminding him, this then becomes a
dogma. It's like you're accusing Allah subhanaw taala. That's why
they said some of them are Obama development other other.
Sometimes the MACOM there, and you'll say I don't have to ask
sometimes it's so good silence. And you shahada, right. And this
is the maklumat of the RFP, it is of the micrometer, if you're not
the only one, so they will make the proper size obviously made.
And he made that fervently while you can hook animal shelter,
right. He's also shown people the thing to do, but sometimes the
internal state of the heart tells you that I know Allah sees me.
Not I know I taste Allah seeing me, I see Allah seeing me and
Allah more calm and more our club. So the moral club, it means you
see Allah that You see Allah seeing you. And so you feel like,
I don't need to ask I need to witness and I need to let this
thing run its course wherever it might be. And then we'll swap out
or we'll decide to lift it when the time is right for me. Right?
It's not like it's I'm inconveniencing Allah subhanaw
taala he doesn't get anything out of it is from our benefit.
So then he says, you become a guest. And the guest does not
express his own wishes. He behaves with good manners eats what is he
is afford, and accepts what He has given unless he's told to say what
he would like in which case he makes his wishes known in
obedience to an order not of his own volition. Asking is
appropriate when one is at a distance, and silence when one is
near. Right. When you're close to the hollow, the presence of God
and you're feeling it you're witnessing, then you will feel
that asking, in a way, like as we said earlier, to remind a lot to
kind of steal your heart
is somewhat redundant because your heart is already still Allah,
Allah has made your heart still and you see yourself as a guest.
And we are guests the longer you put off man, who's the one who
brought us here? Or put us in this world? Who is the one that who's
providing our sustenance and providing our food and our
nutrition and our families? And is it not Allah subhanaw taala? Are
we not then guests of Allah subhanaw taala. And
you know, when the host is far away in another room, and maybe
you want to get his attention to, you know, what can I get like a,
you know, an apple or something or a handkerchief or use the
bathroom? It's appropriate. But when the host is sitting right in
front of you, right, and you keep asking for things, it's not
appropriate. And that's what he's saying. So, if I'm close to the
Hadera, then it's not appropriate for me to keep asking in that
particular
UML so don't misunderstand and think that flat is not applicable.
There is always a political right? What do I owe my dad, but he's
saying the way that you're asking the manner by which you're asked.
He says the people of the Lord are acquainted with none but the Lord
of truth.
influential people of Bath have lost all connection with them. And
material concerns as verb have been discarded from the hearts,
even if they are deprived of food and drink for days or months. They
do not care and remain unaffected, because it is their Sustainer or
one who has the right he provides the authority that he provides the
sustenance and he gives them whatever nourishment he wishes.
If someone claims to love Allah, then seeks from him something
other than himself.
He is lying about his love for him.
As
if you really love Allah subhanaw taala but you're asking for
something other than Allah. So you only love Allah because he thinks
he can give to you. Because he can take care of your needs, and you
can live your trial and tribulation is that the source of
love? What if we were to express our love that way to someone,
another human being and that way, you know, I really love you
because you know, you make the best, you know, macaroni and the,
you know, the,
the moraine pie really was amazing. I really loved that about
you that that you want to make that. It's not going to be taken
perhaps in the right way. But
but when you love someone for the sake of that person, right? So it
doesn't matter if they make lemon meringue pie, or they make
macaroni or they make, you know, whatever. So with Allah subhanaw
taala we love Allah so we seek ALLAH, what does it mean to seek
us out, it means that we want to be in the editor with or we
originally there, it's
right want to be in the era, the circle of return, that Allah is
pleased with us. And we want to be taken out of the era of the circle
where Allah is displeased with us. That is the most important thing.
So what are we seeking Allah was seeking to be pleased with us. So
we asked him to help us fulfill those things, the commandments, he
has decreed for us so that we may find his law. And in turn, he will
put rid of our law in our hearts as well.
So he says, As for one, who has come to be loved as my who was
arrived as a guest and indoor near he has told us express your
desires and see what you wish to have for you are empowered,
The lover that more hip is constrained, while the beloved the
Malibu is at ease. Right? And we've talked about Muhammad
Muhammad and Muhammad Muhammad Obeah. So it's one thing to be the
one who's loving and seeking. And it's quite a whole nother thing
altogether to be the one who was loved to be as malleable. And the
one who was my humble, right realizes that there's nothing that
they can hold against Allah subhanaw taala there's no trust to
him. Someone who is hip may be like, Okay, how come? I love you
so much. But why didn't you do this? I want you to do that. You
kind of dashed my hopes, as I'm a comment ahead, right, the lover
who's seeking some sort of,
you know,
gift or reciprocating reciprocating of the love that
they have back to them. And so they're always going to be in this
sort of, sort of constrained way. Right? Because they don't realize
that the beloved already loves them more than they can even
imagine. And once they reach to that place, they come to the
Bugaboo right, the beloved, the man who was at ease, because what
will make them ahead will make the lover at ease, knowing that the
object of their love or the subject of their love loves them.
That's all that they want. And as long as they're unsure about that,
or uncertain about that, they will keep reaching for it and searching
for once they know that they are loved. And they become them by
whom, then there's an ease.
Right, the fork of Lena Legenden for later case, right? Because he
didn't know that she loved him or didn't love him. He just kept
chasing after her and, you know, being a puppet hazard. You don't
know how that
can be shut off. Somebody that can help them and second era. I guess
this wall like is this one, it goes out to her neighborhood and
kiss the walls of the houses around her house in the
neighborhood, not even her house. And then he said it's not the love
of the walls that has made my heart go into love when I can put
them in second at the top. But the one who lives behind the walls is
what has you know bursted my heart out in this love. I'm going to
write the one was my hope is that is there
provision for the lover and gifts for the beloved.
The servant continues to be a lover for his in a state of
bewilderment, hey man, separation and fragmentation and of having to
earn for the sake of nourishment, right as a Muslim and
then when a transformation occurs when it comes to be a beloved, the
state of affairs is completely changed as far as he's concerned.
He receives affection and attention, comfort, ease, affluent
provision, and control over creatures that are coming back,
we'll be right when you see that.
Your personal inclinations, your Windsors, things and so forth, are
immaterial and don't count anymore and you don't even want to have
anything to do with him. You only want for the beloved, to be
pleased with you. You want to be marble.
All of this comes by virtue of his patience, and steadfastness in his
state of love, the servants friendship sofa right here for
Allah and the love of Allah. For his servant is not like the love
of one creature for another. As for Lord, Lisa, chemically Shaco
seminar last year. Right and that's the verse we're not this is
not human. But as we said in a previous session, I believe we
take a lot as our Sahabi doesn't take us as our as his side, Allah
is not in need of a soccer
metaphor, the Sahaba and whether whether the right he didn't take,
he doesn't need to have a saw him or child or anything like that. So
he doesn't need us but we are in complete need of Him. So the
scenario or the metaphor, and he works one way from us, to him, US
sticking alongside us, loving Allah Spano Tata, and then
realizing that our very existence is an act of love, right and of
divine love in a manner that is commensurate with the Majesty of
Allah subhanaw taala.
So, the remaining time, we don't have a lot of time, but the shift
here gives quite a, I think an incredible use of describing the
staff of Musa Moses Ali salaam, and how it relates what we're
talking about. So just try to read through that.
So he said, Our Lord provide allegories for the sake of human
beings from him, you must seek understanding of him from him, you
must seek the delight of hearts in his company, for he extends the
heart's delight to whomever He will. He multiplies the sustenance
of hearts from whoever He will the heart of one of these people and
embraces all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth. His
heart comes to resemble the staff of Moses of Musa and he set up the
staff of Musa or Moses started out as wisdom. hikma then it became
power Cordero.
He used to carry his traveling provisions when he could not carry
them himself, would protect him from harm while he was sitting or
asleep. It would produce all kinds of fruit for him and writing would
shade while he was resting.
Right fruits in a sense, like he had many uses. And the verse that
these mentions just a few lines down when I took NVMe and also
color quality outside their work, are they Oh, sure we are let me
see if you're eligible.
For the LTL Yeah, Musa after. So he said, What is that in your
right hand? Moses, he said, This is my staff in which I lean, which
I beat down branches for my sheep. I wish I find other uses the staff
of Moses. So, it hikma means it has many uses.
So it will produce all kinds of food for him providing shade while
he was rested. Allah showed him his power in it Allah's power. So
we became familiar with the divine power by means of staff.
And that significant could have been anything but it was something
that was more or less essential for everyday life and use of lose
sight of his sentiment via that medium. He gave it the power to
defeat Pharaoh and power with the one who proclaimed himself Lord
over everything.
So then he made him a prophet and Nebby Musa, they sent him and this
was his staff before he became a prophet right. drew him close,
spoke to him that I can Ebola right he was the one that God
spoke to and charged him with responsibility. Then he said to
him, of course I just mentioned what is that in your right hand?
Oh, Moses said this is my staff. I will try lean and without detail
branches from my sheep in which I find other uses. Then he said to
him, throw it down and clearly Musa they they hate Contessa.
Right. So if we were down it turned into an enormous serpent,
from which he initially ran away.
Then Allah subhanaw taala said to him, who would have what at our
house and we will have sea otter hand
grasping and field now we shall return it to its former state. The
purpose of this was to give him a demonstration of the divine power,
so as to make the dominion of Pharaoh seem trivial in his eyes.
Everyday stick walkingstick but it became this thing that can defeat
the sorcerers and the magician's of Pharaoh and make the dominion
of Pharaoh and all of the power and the Timothy Elana, Quranic
temples and that great civilization, all that was built
by his ancestors seemed like nothing.
And to teach him to wage war, and Pharaoh and his people be
committed, how can we commit to Hajah? Right, that military war
they didn't fight pitch battles against the Egyptians, the
Venezuelan Moses, but it was the climax of Raja, right the war of
ideas, the word of truth versus falsehood.
It prepared him to fight them and made him aware of its of miracles.
At the outset, he was constricted in the heart in the breast, right,
because he ran away initially. Then he made his heart wide and
gave him the hook, the law prophethood and will work and
knowledge and
oh exert one forgets his power and disobey is do not forget the one
who does not forget you.
Do not be heedless of the one who is never heedless of you will
remember death where the Angel of Death is entrusted with your
spirits. Do not be diluted by your mouth, your property. Oh, sorry,
your youth, your property and everything you have around you.
Right like the dominion of Pharaoh. That's all a delusion.
The power is what Allah even put in a power in this regular
walkingstick that defeated Pharaoh and his army. Right It was the
same stick that was a serpent and defeated the magician's and the
same stick when he cast it down at the, at the foot of the bank of
the, of the Red Sea. It split, was able to walk through it and later
drowned Pharaoh and his troops, the same stick, same ordinary
stick.
But it was not ordinary because of what ALLAH SubhanA put, he made it
go from hikma to Quadra.
Right Hikmah means there is a wisdom. Like why all these things
are happening to us. It's training us it's giving us a therapy, and
then comes the Quadra. Right, and then comes the power, the power of
contentment, the power of
knowing or maboob Right, knowing that you're the Beloved of Allah
subhanaw taala. And if you're the beloved of was one of that, and
then you'll be beloved of everything. If Allah loves you,
then everything loves you.
The trees, the rocks, sun, the stars, the moon, everything, this
was the MACOM of our profit source. And still remains is my
farm and the heirs of our province are selling they can have on a
seed, they can have an allotment
of that McCall.
And there's just so much in this particular
business, but we're just about
out of time.
So I'm just gonna read maybe
one last thing here
the last section, he says
this path is not traveled in company with lower self, the neffs
and the passions that How about rather with the rule of law that
the Sharia and the practice thereof, which is the theory
and the abandonment of one's power and strength, patient endurance,
the acceptance of submissive obedience slam Queenie, to one
Allah says configurable
and resignation, the forsaking of haste and the adoption of a steady
pace. This is not something you can get in a hurry. It requires
proper preparations. Right? Let's see, man. Well, we had rope and
camel saddles is the metaphor, like you have to roll up your
sleeves, the patient's effort and striving and now that you have the
companionship, one of the kings of knowledge will come out even to
guard you, instructor and relieve you of your burden. That's why we
have to have good software will show us how to have good software
with Allah.
You must walk in his train and we are exhausted, he will give orders
for you to be carried or let you right behind him. If you are a
lover or him, he will let you ride behind him. If you are beloved and
who you will mount you in his saddle while he writes behind you.
That's a metaphor. So when you become the backbone, then you see
the outcome of Allah running through you. When you are the more
Hibben you are seeking. Right? You will feel that you have to seek
and you have to
kind of
stare at yourself but you're unable to steer it. But when
you've come to the boob, then you're sitting in the saddle. And
he writes behind you so the power of the fulcrum and Audra and
Nicola you feel is with you. So you feel decisions or decisions
based upon something that you're seeing, or your animals being says
to you that says to your heart, we are called right and then
communicates that to your oxygen, your neffs and your limbs. And so
everything then becomes in conformance with the divine.
In decree, and divine command,
anyone who has tasted this will know it from experience to be in
the company of truly competent people. Here is a blessing A now
Rama, while being with liars and hypocrites, is a curse or a Nygma.
And as we've certainly
emphasize many times, a soft, soft person having good companionship,
making best use of one's time, fulfilling the commands of a lost
power either avoiding his prohibitions and training oneself
to accepting and acquiescing to the degree of God, in both good
and bad involves head and shoulder and both he is in difficulty in
both affluence and poverty. You will find then on the other side
of that in sha Allah, you will find the law when Muhammad will be
as the Shiva said you'll find contentment and
know that you're the object of TV, love, and then pence, your beloved
