From the
sentiment of Eric
I don't see that
mean well that
so we are reading from
Bernie on federal money and it's really windy another caller and
Giuliani rather law and who
we are progressing steadily to
the end of these discourses of 62 discourses today we'll be looking
at the 57th discourse in this past month of Ramadan show from line
three Russian and Mobarak. In either other Muslims and the few
that are they haven't been, not occur to you or Huberty you and
your human, when
we shall

of you hi Athena humans and Haseltine Sharma sorry as Cosmo
pilot will make the offer the shed
that Allah small data puts all of the things that we benefiting from
his words in the zen of his Hassan Earth and his scale of good deeds.
And that is kind of the beautiful thing about Islam about our
religion, that anyone who passes on something will transmit
something of beauty something of good and others take it to heart
and practice it then they too will have the benefit without
detracting from the benefit of the person who is practicing it. And
so ultimately this all goes back to our profits are so our province
FLEXlm is indeed
the one that we owe the most to in terms of human beings. And of
course, we think I was fine with
that then and they had
ADF Lola and Heather and Allah
so
we're up to the 57th discourse and you just read from the beginning
and then see where it takes us to the next one short, relatively
short.
course exams are one to 56 this course and we might get to the 57
So just read from the beginning where it says Rhodiola Arnhold
Yeah, well I'm in the auto sorry for the auto sorry for one of the
Vita in Dyersville jet and her Fe in Minho so once I had a shot we
went for said what to fairly put over here our courseware so I

you had any Hakuna could look at our for the fact that you can skip
the video Nitika Europe because and Massoud enough Swatara.
So now I want to show why don't you would you be willing to now
and therefore
so let's just take it from there and what we are after that.
So, he says I see that your behavior is not the behavior
characteristic of those who are rigidly vigilantly aware of Allah
and fearful of him. You maintained close close relations with evil
and corrupt people and avoid the company of the saints and LDF and
the pure, the US Viet so I just want to say something about that
particular comment statement that he made and we see this happen.
He's made it throughout the discourses to fairly consistent
degree and
I think it's important for us to realize the importance of software
of good companionship. But also to realize that, you know, some of
the specific things of our age, in that, we tend to spend a lot of
time by ourselves
in the type of software as it were, but we're not really by
ourselves, we usually have things that are keeping us busy.
You know, the pre modern people, they didn't have the access to
technology, obviously, that we have. And they didn't have the
access to just write on your fingertips access to,
you know, millions upon millions of information and facts and
intricate aspects about people's lives and what they do and what
they don't do, and what color skirt they're wearing today. And
you know, what they eat for lunch. And especially in our specific
time, this is kind of, you know, an exponential growth, as it were,
I also just read an article someone had posted about
the proliferation of * and * sites, and the
numbers are mind boggling terms of the, you know, we're talking in
terms of yearly views
33 billion, you know, 33 billion visits to this, this one
particular site, which is astronomical, I mean, the whole
globe is 7 billion people. And so that means, obviously, not
everyone in the globe is doing that. But, you know, the, you
know, the page view is something that I don't think any other
website can rival that not even close.
So, when we talk about here, and he says, You maintain close
relations with evil and corrupt people, and avoid the company of
the saints, and odia was a sphere.
I've heard this often from our teachers, that the things that we
occupy ourselves with, in our so called free time,
such as
websites and movies and, and the like that it is a type of
software. And it can prove to be a great veil between us and Allah
subhanaw taala, to the degree that if we are kind of, you know, just
anticipating and waiting for the next episode to come out, or for
the next post from a particular person that you're following, and
your heart then becomes connected to it. And as a province, I sort
of said, You're a slave to that which you love. And your love of a
thing can make you blind and can make you depth. And we have to use
these things, I think judiciously, we have to come up with a matter a
way by which we can participate. But in a healthy way. And I'm not
saying that we give it up completely, I think that would be
very difficult for many, but you know, to you to use it in a
judicious way. And obviously, the technology can be used for much
good. Right now we're benefiting from it, we're talking on this
platform that can reach people from all over the globe. And
that's obviously a great blessing right now. But at the same time,
we have to be
vigilant
and careful about how we use especially now that we're raising
future generations, and who knows what this thing is going to look
like in 20 years. And to the degree that it's, you know, it's
already taken over people's lives to a great extent. So what's going
to happen after that? So we, you know, we ask Allah subhanaw taala
to, you know, to make that easy for us, but also keep this in mind
that
you are taking these things as your company, right and constant
exposure to obviously * is the worst of it, but also
things that are frivolous in nature, things that don't, as we
say, to shut down to go too far. Right, as the chef has mentioned,
things that kind of shy, you know, scramble you right dish teeth is
probably the worst word I can think of the scramble you and they
make you lose focus. And they put you in a position in place where
it's difficult to maintain focus on the last panel Tada. So we want
to partake of the things that he did your Merona Allah Allah things
that will bring us all of us into the focus of God, right? All our
faculties so our limbs are our new fools, our egos, our self, our
innermost being are lower on our hearts. Those are the things and
so we see that all of the above that and it's them. They involve
physical things because it's putting your limbs in line with a
hotshot follow the official jewelry was prophesized inside of
his heart was had crucial and it was in the presence of God then
the limbs also would follow. And so we train the limbs, and we also
then in turn, train the heart and train
In the mind and train the intellect, and
it's, it'd be a shame to kind of, not to be aware of that and
cognizant of that, and then see how that can adversely affect us,
you know, so this is something to, I think, to, to be mindful not to
be careless enough.
So
he said, after that,
to also have the company of the saints of the holy and the sphere.
And it's also important, our teachers told us that there are
beneficial things, things that have been reported that also you
can, they serve two purposes, they can be educational, and it can be
a sort of third we had enough so we know that,
you know, Allah small data set in the Hadith could see that
Allah human know how to TAMIU Allah, Allah doesn't get bored
until you get more so doesn't mean a lot, technically gets bored, but
it means that approach or a bad approach everything in life with,
with moderation, with balance, and with an eye towards
sustainability. So you go in full bore on something, and on all in
as far as people say, but then you can only maintain all in for so
long, it needs to have a break, you need to kind of vary that. So
the things that you choose to find 10 fees, right things that you
choose to find, kind of taking a break, let them also be
beneficial. And I think especially the more that we do in terms of
this with actual human contact, right, with family with friends,
rather than retreating to our rooms, or bedrooms, and turning on
the screen, and then kind of just kind of following or finding
ease and solace in
TV serial, or,
you know, some Instagram feed,
that's less beneficial than actual, you know, getting out
there and making contact with people. And even if it's just
something social, and obviously, during the pandemic.
This is not a
ideal situation, but in sha Allah as almost entirely, it makes it
easy for us and gives us
respite from this bit of data.
And who knows when that will happen. This is something to think
about as we go back into the world and, and we approach people and be
with people, I think it's also important that the world is, is as
more need of Tao more in need of people who can lend an empathetic
ear and a sympathetic ear than ever. And this is, you know, we've
been made responsible with either here to be or omitted our
metallicity job and we're all one homebody either the OMA that has
answered the call of the last kind of parallel, or from the OMA that
has yet to answer the call. But the onus is on the ones who have
answered the call to relay the call to others, and relaying the
call doesn't mean that you set up a data table with pamphlets
outside of your university, cafeteria, that's a way to do it.
But it also means to be with people only to to engage with
them, to discuss with them to listen to them, to let them speak
to let them share things with you when you share things with others.
This is a concept of Shura that's also found in the Quran and other
prophets I seldom was instructed to deal with the Sahaba even the
horse I have ye that he receives revelation. And technically, all
the answers will be there from Allah subhanaw taala. But as a as
a principal to do engage in Well, I'm sure all by now, right to have
this engage in discourse, social domains from St. Shara from
seeking others opinions and counsel doesn't mean you have to
practice it or take it as it is but to engage with,
with people and learn to engage with people got to know where
they're coming, I have to understand them. The province I
send them understood the society while the profits to the people
that they were sent they were of the people, right, they were not
sent privately, let me send you call me this kind of comb doesn't
mean just the mother tongue if it's Arabic or Hebrew, or Aramaic,
but also,
you know, the cultural language or cultural context of the people.
And so, when we come into diverse situations, and we appear exotic
or foreign or alien to terms of our appearance, our dress or the
way that we're speaking, tend to society that we're trying to make
the strides and it becomes an added obstacle that
we could be over us to do better without so these are all going to
be matters of individual HD head people are going to kind of
trial and error with this hit and miss sometimes but I think
I would I would think this is the way that we tend to begin to think
about it.
So continue after that.
He says, You have emptied your heart of the Lord of truth and
filled it with the enjoyment of this world, its people and its
vanities, do you not realize that fear acts as a custodian in the
heart, providing it with light and clarity and explanations. If you
carry on like this, you will forfeit salvation selama in this
world and the hereafter. So, fear, as we've talked about this before,
which is an informed times of fear, it's a fear based upon
hacia. And who are two similar words, right?
A knowledge based fear of not a flight, or fight sort of fear,
but a fear of understanding and of absorbing and
who shahada and more Oklahoma right of witnessing the
magnificence of what was going on. And being ever vigilant and
Allah's ritual interview, that type of hope, that type of fear,
is very, very positive, right. And it's a spiritual type of fear,
it's not a
psychic or psychological
type of fear, right? Because it's fear based upon your team based
upon any emotion that comes to that happens to you that is
elicited, based upon your neffs based upon
things that are not really there, then we call that source of
information, what happens. So what that means thinking things are
there, that's not really there. So an unfounded fear.
So when I'm trying to fear me, like, oh, you know, and books
affected, or they'll say that,
you know, in the chapter about them, and either you, you, you
don't have the ability, you don't have water to begin with, or for
some reason, don't have to use it. So you see a gorgeous waterfall
and a lake, you know, beyond 50 meters ahead, but it looks like
there's a grizzly bear looking around there. So, if you have a
legitimate fear of the grizzly bear, and you believe it's there,
then that is cause for you not to go over to the lake and try to
make, and you can make tambem. But if what you see is not really a
grizzly bear, and it's a rock. Alright, so big rock, it's not a
grizzly bear, then we call that that's what happens. And that's
not a legitimate reason. So if you wind up and you meet them, and
then you walk over there, and then so, that was a rock, then if you
still have time, within the time, you have to use the water make
will do and, and do the prayer over again. Because it was not
based upon your team, it was not our at least not based upon shore
and sound knowledge it was based upon what him so fear that is
based upon that 17 is a positive thing, we should be afraid of
things that are actually there are enough things that are not there
are things that are not found it in terms of having a few of them.
So he says if you carry on like this, you will forfeit salvation
in this world and the hereafter.
If you remember, if you would remember death, your enjoyment of
this world would diminish in your abstinence from it would increase.
Because you know, it's not worth the time and the trouble. When our
end is death, how can we find happiness and worldly things, as a
promise ourselves has said, every one has a goal. And the goal of
every living being is death, in other words, has isn't a goal but
he said via right and point. So we all have expiry dates, and expiry
date has already been determined. The only thing is we don't know
when that expiry date is. So
on the one hand, we seize the moment as it is. And on the other
hand, we know it could be the last moment. And so that's they say
that's why the Soviet bloc, the the true Sufi is the son or
daughter of the time they're in so they have neither past nor future.
Past is finished. It's nothing you can do to to to, to go back to
that particular moment past if there were wrongs committed in the
past, then there are things that are happening in the present, and
hours there's responsibilities in the present, that will address
things in the past, but it's not like you're going back in time and
fixing things you are you are doing things in the present to
address the damage caused by something you did in the past so
you're not going back to the past and you're not dwelling upon the
past. So you remorse as the remorse is now it's it's in
present time but it's about something that occurred in the
past but it's a feeling that you are in sha Allah channeling and
galvanizing to inform your present and then the future is not
guarantee you guarantee to you don't know if there's going to be
a future or not. So it would walk means the son and daughter of the
time that you're in, make the most of the particular time that you're
in and don't see a moment after that. So to law has it and fess
You are you began to realize and see and keep track of the number
of breaths that you're taking, when I was little and fast, and
this was the way of the great idea, and Storm is a great way of
that, Oh, yeah. And that was fear. So every moment of their time they
seek to have a purpose behind it, the seek to have,
they give it value. By being purposeful, every moment in time
that passes by, that you don't have that you aren't, don't have a
purpose in it is value less, right? Even though it's valuable
in its own right, because the last one that it gave you those moments
to do something with them. But if you let them go by, right, without
utilizing them without seeking out the benefit from them without
being in the service of either Allah subhanaw taala, or one of
the creatures of Allah subhanaw taala, then it's a time that you
really wasted that's come by, and sometimes being in this time
that's in the service, as we mentioned earlier, it's totally
fine enough, sometimes you taking giving yourself a break. But then
the intention also is so that I may be refreshed and ready to go
for the next
moment, right, and the next thing that I have to be worrying about
and taking care of him, and so forth. So, you know, these are
things that we should be thinking about and considering as the shirt
is pointing out to us.
So He says death is the end of sorrows, and of joys of wealth and
poverty, of hardship and ease of sickness, and pain. When someone
dies, he experiences His resurrection. That's his piano,
right? Even though it's called the lesser piano, right, the greater
piano is, whenever all of the souls then after the blowing of
the trumpet are resurrected. But once you take your last breath,
call us you're in the afterlife, you're already in the AF era, your
SLR has begun in earnest. So people as we speak, are living
their era right now. And you're only one breath away from your
point of departure into the past.
So what was distant comes to be near as far as he is concerned. So
all the things that we're reading about and we were hearing about
now they're all palpable. Bazooka, Luoma hottie that's the Quran says
your buzzer is Hadid. It's piercing in our sees things as
they really are.
All that you are, all that you are involved in is crazy delusion. You
must detach your heart your secret yourself and your inner being and
button from all your present involvements the world is or
finite term, while the hereafter is for an infinite eternity. Your
life in this world is for finite term, while your life and the
hereafter is for an infinite eternity, so have them in bed
blocks. So even just like as a simple logic,
calculation, what's better, something that is finite, and is
not comparable to something that is not finite. And then the nine
finite one is degrees of magnitude beyond imagination, better or
worse than the finite existence that we're occupying now. And so,
even if someone was just a complete pragmatist,
from a pragmatic point of view, pragmatic point of view, it makes
much more sense to be more focused on something that is everlasting
and is longer obviously, than something that is fleeting. And in
actuality, not all that
satisfying, the moments of satisfaction are fleeting, right?
When Allah says in the Quran will love we have to be the opposite to
La he told you out so comfortable past or the fleeting moments,
fleeting moments of constriction, fleeting moments of expansion, but
what's important thing while he taught you how you are going back
to Allah subhanaw taala. So returning to Allah subhanaw taala
is
the main thing that we should be
ever aware of, and never lose sight of.
So
I'll move around a little bit.
So we can get through this little bit more quickly.
He speaks a little bit a little bit down about the Zuid and how we
can have Zuid in terms of how we partake in pleasurable things. So,
Zumba is not the idea that you do not take in partake in anything
pleasurable, that the ship is not advocating a life of what we call
just the cost of merely the costume on the question of means
Yahushua everything like to live rough.
And many of the audience did not live rough
in the manner that we will think that they did. You know many of
them had fine clothing, many of them a try and foods, many of them
had very nice places to live on.
Many of them had,
what we've considered to be great, a great amount of wealth, many of
the Sahaba competitors would like that. And so living rough is not
the idea, right? You can live rough and still live a vain life.
You could be prideful and vainglorious in, oh, look at my
simplicity, look at my minimalistic lifestyle.
This is something I'm quite proud of, I got myself to this point. So
there's still the enter the eye in that. And someone could be
surrounded by all the recruitments of, you know, what we consider to
be luxury and ease and, and facilitation, but they're utterly
not concerned with it. They're indifferent to it, which is kind
of the the ideal attitudes so don't Zoho it really is not
whether you possess something or not possess something, but to be
indifferent to it in your heart. So
not to have a difference in terms of your Huzhou of your presence
with God and your your vigilance and your vigilance of these
religions of you. And you're witnessing of the mercy of God and
the magnificence of God, none of those things change, because you
have some dunya, or some of the dunya was taken away from you.
Those things should be
you know, immaterial, not important in terms of how we
approach our relationship with God. And sometimes he may take
things away from us to give us something better. And sometimes
he'll give us something to also give us something better. So it
depends. So Menaka file docker run Docker for Mac as an author in a
secondary sense, perhaps it gives you something to deprive you of
something else who deprives you of something to give you something.
And, you know, they've not also said of their Hekmat, you don't
reach value, until you see that author if you're in a manner,
until you see the authority you see. Allah's giving you something
even though it looks like from the outside like deprivation. So
sickness and maladies and trials and tribulations outwardly look
like deprivation, but inwardly, they can give you money, they can
give you things that
many, many nights have even bring a lady to the club may not give
you Yes, we seek the Father, we mentioned the other day that we're
actually seeking a law.
That's the main point. But Allah can give you in things other than
we can give you something in little Bella. Right, he can give
you something in a night of trial and tribulation that you may not
even get out of the cult. Now.
Official film, generally speaking there is indeed we believe the
Quran is better than 1000 months in a manner that Allah knows. But
that doesn't preclude
or RPA the, the idea that things can be given to us and nice Other
than that, it could be our data to write later got a lot of great and
immense value. And ultimately, it can give you great and events
value fee, the early electron app in the notes of trial or
tribulation, and you can give you a great value in the
list and identify our thought so even when he's been giving you
things, if you have the McLemore chakra, if you are thankful for it
also a lot more data is also giving you great, great value as
well. So
let me just go to that section that's on page 362 For those who
are following.
So
watching the age of 360, bottom of page three to 61 He says you must
strive to ensure that you are wholly
obedient 40 If you do this,
he says Your holy obedience and you are the thaw are even more
emphatic.
You will come to belong to your Lord as urgent in your entirety.
Disobedience is maintaining the existence that will you would
have the lower self the neffs while obedience is causing its own
existence, it's focused on satisfying the desires of the
flesh the shower is maintaining the existence of the lower self.
Right, so it's not about it to know. Or it's not about taking
something that is desirous of itself. It's how you take it, how
you approach it. And so if you take it with your nefs then it
becomes NF Sandy thing. So two people can be sitting next to each
other and they're both having, you know, the best prime rib T bone
steak.
And one is eating it with with Shuddha right one is eating it
with just to you know,
blatantly just to fulfill a shower and the other person is eating it
not so much interested in it but this is his eating companion who's
next to him and his intention. Is it fun
So I think, and he's hoping to
give him to commiserate with him and to make him happy that he's
sharing a meal with him. But he's not all that he doesn't think it
does, it tastes bad, he's still eating it, it tastes good, but
it's not fulfilling that knifes any impulse. So when he impulse
inside of so he says here satisfying the desires of the
flesh, or what is maintaining the existence of the lower self, while
refraining from them is causing its non existence. So it's not
about to know what as I said about having it's about how are you
having it
very famous story of segnale I've never thought about it or Andrew,
similar kind of similar vein. And that in one of the battles.
You know, he was, he was fighting the sword fighting the man and he
was about to finish them off. And
then the man spat in his face, you know, the mushroom, disbelievers
spat and sit at his face. And at that point, said that he lowered
his sword. He said, I was about to do it for a while. But now, he
made me angry, there was a shower in it, so I'm not going to do.
So he realized about himself, right, that I'm not going to do
the shower. So it's not even the absence of shower. It's not the
absence of impulse and desire. It's the ability to recognize it,
when it's upon you, and then having the wherewithal and the
fortitude to refrain, if that's the impetus, if that's the
motivation, and to say, you know, not right now. And we've mentioned
this before that folks have this rebar or they have this Macola, or
principle, they have the authority or whoever the ban, that the judge
should not issue edicts or judgments while they're angry,
because they're in a compromised state. Now, it's there's enough
say NFC, yeah, there's enforce enough see thing in him or her
saying, Okay, I'm really angry now. So I'm going to give a
harsher or stricter punishments to this person, then maybe that they
deserve. Or maybe my emotional state will not let me see the
evidence clearly and objectively. And I might rule incorrectly. And
then they extended this to all things. So the lag there is no
that is what was done. So the teachers didn't teach when they're
angry,
and so forth. And I would extend that to you know, you want to have
that hardened heart to heart to heart, conversation with your
spouse, or with your child and with your brother or your sister
or someone, or the message uncle who's, you know, getting on your
nerves. Don't do it. When you're in that Nevski state, when you're
angry, or you have you know, something is propelling you, other
than something that's the most, most pure part of you. And this is
like it needs to add, it needs to be practiced and exercise,
exercise and ideally under the tutelage of a mentor, or a chef or
older brother or sister, a wise person who can help you along with
this. And then you learn to recognize that within yourself and
then you know, when to stop, and when to say okay, I feel like this
is the more pure aspect of me that is addressing the situation and
getting involved and so far.
So he says, You must refrain from desires of the flesh and not
satisfy them, except in compliance with the decree of Allah subhanaw
taala not of your own volition and craving, except such objects
desires with the hand of abstinence, under compulsion, and
duress. Right, so you feel like oh, this thing that I have to take
part in or eat, I have something bigger that I want to think about,
but I, I feel like I have to because it's the right thing to do
at the time. Not because I have this overwhelming desire to do so
when it comes to things of the dunya right things of the flesh
shower.
So he says, Let the hand of abstinence drag you to accept the
object of desire and convey it to the lower self. Abstinence, then
or Szilard is an essential necessity prior to knowledge
of your condition of your Halla abstinence is appropriate in the
darkness and acceptance and enjoyment in the light.
Now here he's talking about two different Muslims, right? So
abstinence and in the darkness in the darkness of ignorance. Like I
don't know if I'm actually going to seek this thing. Is it my
shower or is it my cell? Or my RA? How am I going to this thing if
you don't know? Then he said abstinence or antacid we had a che
is the safer way to go, because you're not quite there yet. And
then he says,
when this present condition of darkness departs from you, you
will see the light then there will be no so acceptance and enjoyment
in the light. That's why they said I looked at that one.
Monday when high school law here, so they said the person is just
starting out on the path and the person is on the end of the path.
Outwardly, they look the same to everybody. So,
you know, the person who's eating with Chow and desire and, you
know, taking, you know, mashed potatoes and chicken and gravy,
and he looks like he's really into it and, and you know, you're a
Salic, you're in the middle of the pathing, like, look at that he's
eating like, you know, way too much and wife's eating like that
for. And then the person who is next to them could be well, human,
only Allah. And it appears that they're kind of eating the same
thing. And he's not like getting any less, perhaps, and you say
that on credit hours, that person, they look the same, but because
the monitor, he the one at the end, he's indifferent to it, or
she's indifferent to it. So they're not even eating in the
shower, they may be eating it too, as I said, to commiserate with the
children of Allah subhanaw taala Great to be with them in their
company in their presence. And so they don't even really have a
desire for and they may even feel that it's under duress and
compulsion. Right, they may enjoy it, as he said, but now it's in
the light. Now it's, it's because of 10. We're now because their
serum, the right hand column, and then you have some are often in
the Joetta the limbs and the heart and spirit and soul and everything
is kind of on the same page. Right. And that page is being
informed by God. And so they're witnessing Jerry any other fee.
And as we've said many times, witnessing the
the power of Allah subhanaw taala and his destiny running through
them. And so they're almost like an impartial third party as things
are happening and things are taking shape. So that's why I said
absence is essential, necessary and this is prior to knowledge
Yanni. Here, he doesn't mean knowledge of halal and Hello, I'm
just per se seeing knowledge of yourself knowledge of your hat. In
other words, knowing when your neffs is talking to you. And
knowing when your sitter is talking to you and knowing when
your colleague is following the knifes the shower, it's following
the clinic. When you begin to know those things, and then then you
know, then this is the right thing to do here and this is not the
right thing to do here.
So that's why he says
power Quadra is a state of darkness of Wonder while your
dependence on the empowering one and there is a state of light. So
she's still witnessing your own power, your own volition, your own
intention, all these things are still the Enter. So this is one
more while as your dependents right and your complete immersion
in how the regular here the presence of God, then this is a
state of Lightboard. Right? Allah has given you that light.
So your first stage is a condition of darkness than when illumination
cash comes from Allah and you are firmly established in his
presence, you will reach a stage of light. When the radiance of the
moon of knowledge man if it comes it will dispel the darkness of the
night of destiny, right of the cover.
With the rising of the sun of knowledge, the Lord of truth.
The decrees of destiny, according to darkness will disappear
altogether. Right? So you don't have what he means here you don't
have an objection to Aleksandar. Right you don't say Oh, this is
covered? Why is it like this, we're going to be somewhere else
that you see exactly as things are enveloping and as revealing
themselves, is exactly the way that it should be.
You will see clearly
what is around you. And what is this sense for me to distant from
you. As he makes things plain to you. What was previously obscure
to you will come to be obvious. It will enable you to distinguish
from the bad and the good, between what belongs to others and what
belongs to you. You will differentiate between the wisdom
or other creatures and the wish of the lord of truth of Allah
subhanaw taala you will see the door of creatures and the Door of
Allah and clearly, then you will see that which no eye has ever
seen which no ear has ever heard of, and which has never occurred
to the human heart. Your heart will eat the food of direct
witnessing of mu shahada drink the wine of intimate friendship of
ones and be invested with the roles of acceptance, then it will
be sent back to the people for the sake of their welfare and to lead
them back from their wandering astray. Their desertion of their
Lord Azerbaijan and their disobedience to him. It will be
sent back together with strong protection, permanent safekeeping
and permanent security. So this is the point that he's made quite
often before that all of these things.
At the beginning of the path we'll be confusing and distant and
unsure and not knowing what to do, but it requires that not we be
concerned with the end of the path but requires that we'll be
concerned with being on it. So our this is not a goal that he's he is
he's describing here. No The goal is to work hard, do your best
to try to avail yourselves of the
you know
objects and states of your theme, right? By following the some of
the rules are seldom by Zohar, right, which is something that we
have an ability to do, you know, by choosing not to choose,
eventually getting to that point. And so if Allah subhanaw taala,
and I should say, when I lost my paladin, you know, sees within you
that the sit of this honesty and the sincerity and this loss
towards him, then Allah subhanaw taala completes the rest of the
way for you, you don't actually take yourself there, Allah is the
One who brings you there. And this is what we mentioned in previous
session about mahavidya. Right, it's not about you being wiping,
striving and putting yourself up by the bootstraps and getting
there by yourself. But it's by realizing that you are malleable,
and that you are everything you are because of him recovering,
because of the Divine Kenny Confect gonna be and then it was
and then it is and then it remains until which point at which time
that last one Tyler then decides that it will no longer be
to kind of live that
athlete clock.
Right? That, that hack that truth in that reality in every moment,
and every manifest and every breath that you're taking, then
that's the true wilayah I mean, that's, that's, that's where we
want to go. It's not about flying in the air and, you know, even
cash flow in terms of seeing what people are thinking or not
thinking and knowing people's secrets. No, it's about knowing
your secret. It's about knowing you, really knowing yourself being
acquainted yourself to the degree that now allows more data that
gives you possession of, of your own actions. And you see when your
neffs is talking to you when you see when something pure like your
forehand, your server is talking to you and so forth.
And May Allah facilitate that for us, I think, just about a time so
we'll stop here.
