Somebody comes

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

reading from

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

Bernie

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

Sanders or from any let's say you have no father, or ID energy then

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

brother in law are you, Allah. And we are making our way through the

00:00:24 --> 00:00:33

62 discourses of chef that were afforded mostly in the year 545 of

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38

the Hijra. And Medina to sit down with the city of peace as it was

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

known, otherwise known as the City of Napa dead, Baghdad.

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

So

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

we'll just

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

go straight to the talk with as a possibility magnitude of the

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

discourses here. So we'll see

00:00:56 --> 00:01:01

on a shift in the army, he has meant to earlier developments have

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

been a set and tofi limit and worthy commodity Matthew

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

BeautyCon. Matthew, welcome in the signal if also were not found any

00:01:09 --> 00:01:15

kind of real condeco. Lee, for you to unfold, I'd seen a tickler file

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

Altino

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

pin that equal one for the admin equity and I think would otherwise

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

have been off the Google Walton.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:26

Yeah, many of us.

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

Were happy

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

to dunya nobody should emulate anything Saudi versus somebody

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

that dunya near to Saudi. No, you're pulling out a little bit of

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

secret work that we need to do here. We'll see what our who are

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

who are the team and hopefully we will all have a good following now

00:01:48 --> 00:01:48

as well. Gentlemen.

00:01:50 --> 00:01:55

Further, Sokoto flooding on site. To end up we'll be more than ever

00:01:55 --> 00:01:55

we

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

will follow you over to

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

your house of our Jamia

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

looking good with our

00:02:06 --> 00:02:06

speaker,

00:02:07 --> 00:02:08

I've got some luck.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:16

On shadow law, he has the agenda of the

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

Sunday.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:24

So here in the English

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

he says oh young, when be charitable, to stop the hope

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

enough to grant me a grain of honesty.

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

And

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

you know, the word sit, as we as we've heard it many times means to

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

be has many a couple of different meanings, one of them being

00:02:48 --> 00:02:54

honesty. And from there we get sincerity. And from there, we also

00:02:54 --> 00:02:57

get the word data, which is the same word here, which is to be

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

charitable. So how are those terms related? They say that

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

the south of South Africa, the leader in other cities.

00:03:08 --> 00:03:09

And

00:03:11 --> 00:03:17

so the South Africa, when you are when you easily give, then that is

00:03:17 --> 00:03:22

a lead, it's a proof of the cynical proof of the

00:03:24 --> 00:03:29

sincerity of the one who is giving us on was giving was being

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34

charitable. So generally, we think in terms of charity as financial

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

charity, our taking,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

having compassion on someone who's less fortunate, and giving

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

in the Islamic tradition has a wider meaning than that. So that's

00:03:44 --> 00:03:49

why charity is not always kind of covers all the meetings. So

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

the promise is that, um, that

00:03:54 --> 00:03:59

it is some of what you hear fika sort of smiling in the face for

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

your brother is a type of setup, and it's a way of being

00:04:03 --> 00:04:09

charitable. And also means it's it's evidentiary proof that you

00:04:09 --> 00:04:14

are slotted, right, and that you have a level of sincerity.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:20

Because that smile even though it seems like it's that difficulty,

00:04:20 --> 00:04:25

right? It's not something that is coming overly burdensome upon you,

00:04:25 --> 00:04:31

but it is a sign that you are Sadik, my loved one time that you

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

are sincere with a loss. So, someone who especially someone who

00:04:36 --> 00:04:40

has no power influence over you, but could not

00:04:41 --> 00:04:48

steer the course of your life in any way. And then you are subject

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

right. You are willing to give and your charitable not just financial

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

resources, but of your your resources of the soul or

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

generosity or magnanimity of this

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

So, this type of the subject, right, so

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

does

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

the caregiver. So, when you are sincere in what you say and what

00:05:10 --> 00:05:16

you do, then this is the Leal again proof of a sick that there

00:05:16 --> 00:05:17

is

00:05:19 --> 00:05:23

this loss that there is sincerity and the Sufi masters, they say

00:05:23 --> 00:05:30

that a SIP is the highest form of sincerity, sincerity can have

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

degrees. And when it reaches its apex or its zenith, then this is

00:05:35 --> 00:05:42

known as a sit. Right. So, it's like all of you is for God's not

00:05:42 --> 00:05:46

just some of you, and they say you can't really reach that mcfar We

00:05:46 --> 00:05:49

can't reach that place until you get you ready to give you all of

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

you,

00:05:50 --> 00:05:55

your whole being that is not hold anything back to a few something

00:05:55 --> 00:06:01

in reserve, kind of for me for myself, no duty to sit and talk to

00:06:01 --> 00:06:05

you about good luck. I think I should have said this before, that

00:06:05 --> 00:06:08

you give all that you are all that you have or that you can possibly

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

offer, give it up for a hospital. And then that will come out in how

00:06:14 --> 00:06:19

you treat the the children of a little sometimes so called

00:06:20 --> 00:06:23

people, right the creatures and when we say children, obviously

00:06:23 --> 00:06:28

not in nothing more for accents. When you say Sunfire the law means

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

that they are completely dependent upon him so much, and they will

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

return back to him. And so when you look at creation, as the show

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

has mentioned many times before, via the prism of their

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

relationship with almost.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

So you see your relationship with them ultimately as a function of

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

your relationship with Allah and their relationship with a lion and

00:06:51 --> 00:06:56

that we're all the same. We are all hunkler We're all had a lot

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

we're all children of God and that sense of all dependence of God and

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

we're all

00:07:02 --> 00:07:04

creations, creatures of God.

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

So from the ship says be charitable to South Dakota, enough

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

to grant me a grain of honesty said that's the relation with the

00:07:14 --> 00:07:20

setup. The data set is a sign of set of honesty, or here utmost

00:07:20 --> 00:07:22

honesty, utmost sincerity.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

You're under no obligation to me as far as your goods of your house

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

or possessions are concerned. I want nothing from you, except

00:07:31 --> 00:07:32

honesty and sincerity.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

And even this, even this is for your benefit. I want you for your

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

own sakes. But for my you must curb the expressions of your outer

00:07:46 --> 00:07:51

and inner tongues. For you have supervisors watching over you.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:55

I want you for your own sakes not for mine, this is a shift talking

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

to students, you must curb the expressions of your outer and

00:07:59 --> 00:08:04

inner tongues for your supervisors watching over you. The angels are

00:08:04 --> 00:08:07

keeping watch over your outer selves you have the wire right

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

there are people on it it may or may not have been folded the

00:08:12 --> 00:08:14

letter they hear not even it

00:08:15 --> 00:08:18

Please do not say it word except they have the angels are

00:08:18 --> 00:08:24

recording. But even it according to Gartner, one of them is

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

recording the good deeds or recording the bad deeds. And the

00:08:27 --> 00:08:32

word recording is recording the good deeds is Amir is in charge of

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

the one who reports the bad deeds. And so

00:08:37 --> 00:08:42

So then he goes on to say, then there's someone or something over

00:08:43 --> 00:08:47

keeping watch over the inner. So in the beginning said you must

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

keep perfect expressions of your outer and inner tongues for your

00:08:51 --> 00:08:54

supervisors watching over you. The angels are keeping watch over your

00:08:54 --> 00:08:58

outer cells that will help so that which we actually say that which

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

we actually do, while it has the agenda is keeping watch over your

00:09:02 --> 00:09:06

inner beings double up double. So this is what he means by the inner

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

tongue. Right? We've talked about this concept before KLM and FC,

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

say don't worry just to say call to clean up some code. I said

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

within myself before I actually said it. So it's the thought

00:09:17 --> 00:09:19

process is thinking about it

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

before you actually go and say something so

00:09:27 --> 00:09:30

do we are we responsible for the things that we think about and the

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

thoughts that occur to us? Not in the same manner that as the things

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

that we say? So if we think about something that is not appropriate,

00:09:38 --> 00:09:41

but then we realize it's not appropriate and we don't actually

00:09:41 --> 00:09:44

say it we hold back on it we're actually rewarded for that. But

00:09:44 --> 00:09:50

there is still a type of equity Serb as it were some reckoning or

00:09:50 --> 00:09:53

accounting for it, maybe not as a sin like if you actually said it,

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

but nonetheless it certainly has an effect on us. So the Quran

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

tells us it took me about

00:10:00 --> 00:10:01

In about Tina who

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

have Taqwa fear, regulate viral SME, what about inner, the inner,

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

the outer sin and the inner sin.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

So have Taqwa of both. So it's a command from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

And, and the command is little job, but it is an obligation

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26

unless there's something clear, contrary or contrary, contrary

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

evidentiary proof that tells us no, it could be

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

really recommended, or it could be permissible.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

Like in the Quran, where it says, oh, cool, we're sure we'll have

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

data today. And it will click on later. That's what he meant.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

Eat and drink until you can tell the difference between the black

00:10:45 --> 00:10:48

and the white line in horizon, at the time of fracture. So as an

00:10:48 --> 00:10:49

analyst,

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

this is not a command where you have to eat until February but

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

it's, it's indicating permissibility. So as it's

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

indicating permissibility, then

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

then in this case,

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

it's not for a command as, as an obligation

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

a lot so

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

this Balton then, we can always help what we think and we can help

00:11:18 --> 00:11:23

the philosopher come to in our in our hearts, but we can take the

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

steps and the measures that will help us to

00:11:27 --> 00:11:32

kind of cleanse and purify the ball team or the inner. Right and

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

that's why we say the the senses are the gateways to the heart.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:42

If we let things in with that images in with the sounds and we

00:11:42 --> 00:11:42

let

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

the feeler and the pilot check talks about all the time, when he

00:11:47 --> 00:11:48

calls, it helps us

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

just all of these extraneous things and they will kind of busy

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

the heart and that's what we call Chaka Khan. Right there's a

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

beating of the heart and you want to give you all of yourself as

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

much as you can over to Allah subhanaw taala so you want your

00:12:01 --> 00:12:04

speech to be pure and you want your thoughts to be pure and you

00:12:04 --> 00:12:09

want the things that you look at to be pure as much as you can, you

00:12:09 --> 00:12:11

know the things that you look at both with your eyes and with your

00:12:11 --> 00:12:16

inner eye. So with your eyes, gazing upon something and seeing

00:12:16 --> 00:12:20

the beauty in things, even if there is an outward ugliness but

00:12:20 --> 00:12:25

there's still the the beauty of the Cabal your ability to

00:12:25 --> 00:12:28

recognize this is the decree of God even if it's something ugly

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

there's there's a beauty in that that you as a believer you can see

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

that you can witness that and also the little

00:12:37 --> 00:12:45

basura so the the seeing of our inner eye so not looking at people

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

with what we call this the ROB Stickler not looking at people

00:12:50 --> 00:12:54

with said belittling glance, right not thinking your heart. Oh, this

00:12:54 --> 00:12:57

person, they never show up for Ramadan never show up any time of

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

the year outside of Ramadan. And here they are now, you know, where

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

were they? You know, last month when I was in here and I was

00:13:05 --> 00:13:07

praying every day and now they can just show for him a lot and I

00:13:07 --> 00:13:11

think they're gonna be like a good Muslim like everybody else has a

00:13:12 --> 00:13:17

it's just a flood completely stuffed with shiny. You see that

00:13:17 --> 00:13:21

person is belittling what they're doing and what they're doing, as

00:13:21 --> 00:13:27

we said, from our perspective is found Allah is the Divine Decree

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

of Allah subhanaw taala running through them and then manifesting

00:13:31 --> 00:13:36

its way and here is will suddenly have almost on the right he is

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

someone who's praying Oh, I'm music. He's someone who's giving

00:13:39 --> 00:13:43

this a cat or someone who are homeless or someone who was

00:13:43 --> 00:13:46

fasting and behind every morsel only one was a chemo saw him there

00:13:46 --> 00:13:52

was the one who was UCLA who this summer or fall is the is the cat

00:13:52 --> 00:13:58

or father who was the one who gave him the tofield right, the one who

00:13:58 --> 00:14:04

enabled him or her to fast and to pray and to pays a cat and even if

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

it's just a Ramadan? Is it still not Allah subhanaw taala? Who who

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

made that happen? And just because you have a preceded opposites of

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

it in other places, right then

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

does that that doesn't mean that you belittle them. And my thought

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

is secondary, he says don't let your proceed your perception of

00:14:22 --> 00:14:25

someone who doesn't seem to have benefited how they feel. Right? It

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

doesn't have Canada, you know, that outer glow that you would

00:14:28 --> 00:14:33

think you have a perception of and then you think that they don't

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

have postal car you don't think they don't have something special

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

about them and they're just a regular Muslim, you know, be very,

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

very careful about who you classify as a regular celebrity or

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

classify as an elite or special Muslim. And those elite Muslims

00:14:48 --> 00:14:51

you know, these we keep in mind these still had these terms that

00:14:51 --> 00:14:54

we were worried about sometimes Chicago fathered rationally

00:14:54 --> 00:14:58

doesn't really mention it that much at all. About this, our main

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

house

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

You know about common or lay people or lay Muslims, and then

00:15:03 --> 00:15:07

the elite of them, even though other books tend to kind of delve

00:15:07 --> 00:15:08

into that sort of terminology.

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

Don't be fooled into thinking that oh, I'm, I'm of the elite, because

00:15:14 --> 00:15:17

I'm reading about the elite. And that makes me elite. And, you

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

know, I have a shave or have a teacher and maybe I have plenty of

00:15:20 --> 00:15:26

time, maybe I have, you know, my chef has speed WhatsApp, and I can

00:15:26 --> 00:15:29

just get my responses. And that makes me of the elite people and

00:15:29 --> 00:15:31

then all the other people who are

00:15:32 --> 00:15:36

stuffing themselves with biryani, I'd like to call the the common

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

Muslims. If you think that then you're definitely not from the

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

elite. You're not from the house. Because the house don't think that

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

about other people. They think they're less than other people.

00:15:50 --> 00:15:51

The very famous

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

story of one of the great automatic Syria,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:57

I think it was better demon.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:03

In the ship better a Dean from not mistaken, who lived maybe 7080

00:16:03 --> 00:16:03

years ago.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:11

He's walking down the street. And someone who appeared to be drunk,

00:16:13 --> 00:16:19

came and saw the chef and became animated and was so happy to see

00:16:19 --> 00:16:23

him and say, Oh, yesterday, she kissed his hand and gave him

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

sedans and things like that. And then apparently, the ship

00:16:25 --> 00:16:29

reciprocated. And he had some of the students with him

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

on so when they did when they parted, the students were baffled.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:36

They said, Why would you do that with him? He's like a

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

security and he says, he's a drunkard in the street. And, you

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

know, why would you give him that sort of respect, and so forth.

00:16:46 --> 00:16:49

And he said, he came in, he saw me, and all he had in his heart.

00:16:49 --> 00:16:53

For me, it was personal fun. He had all of these good feelings and

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

good opinion of me. And he thinks that, you know, I have this good

00:16:56 --> 00:16:57

place was the last one.

00:16:58 --> 00:17:02

And then when we see him, we think he's just a drunkard. So whose

00:17:02 --> 00:17:06

heart is better on the situation, we had a bad opinion of him and he

00:17:06 --> 00:17:07

maintained his good opinion of us.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:09

So

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

don't don't divide the world into our home. And for us, that was a

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

language that was used previously in the pre modern era, and was

00:17:20 --> 00:17:23

perhaps useful for that particular time. And there was a certain

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

context to it in a certain understanding to it. But I don't

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

think it behooves us as Muslims today to kind of divide to the OMA

00:17:30 --> 00:17:38

that way, and, and refer to people as our Muslim in the house, that

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

we all are way more work for us, or in some way who all sort of

00:17:41 --> 00:17:44

general, lay Muslims in particular way because you're certainly

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

probably not firing on all cylinders, and everything that you

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

do in your, in your life of piety in your life of Islam. I certainly

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

don't and I don't think many people can, can claim that they

00:17:53 --> 00:17:58

have that, except the true ODM that will also have that. At the

00:17:58 --> 00:18:01

same time, you may have something else, maybe on something give you

00:18:01 --> 00:18:03

something, he gave you some sort of

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

something special, some sort of method, some sort of ability to

00:18:10 --> 00:18:14

character, trait and so forth. And that's, that's a gift, treated as

00:18:14 --> 00:18:20

a gift, not as a way to kind of game of one upsmanship you know,

00:18:20 --> 00:18:23

I'm better than this person. And, of course, we don't say these

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

things out loud, but we kind of,

00:18:26 --> 00:18:30

you know, we lose about them in our hearts sometimes. And so, to

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

hold on to this move, well, Tina, be careful of even what you're

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

thinking about what you're saying, in your heart. Right, the heart

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

isn't 100 Other than that, the heart is the temple of God, it's

00:18:40 --> 00:18:44

the house of God, it's what he's looking at. And if he sees a heart

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

that is layer multiple, he watched the whole the formula.

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

How do you know that Allah is coming to you if you're going to

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

him so if you're, if your heart is mostly about Allah, right, it's

00:18:55 --> 00:19:00

focused towards the last panel data, then be rest assured in sha

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

Allah that I lost my title also, he's aware of that, obviously. And

00:19:05 --> 00:19:09

in sha Allah, you shoot me a negative casa, perhaps you'll get

00:19:09 --> 00:19:14

something of the specialty natty or from Allah subhanaw taala.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:23

So, he then says, Well, you who build castles and palaces while

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

your life is spent on the cultivation of this world,

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

do not build anything without a righteous intention, and the soil

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

for the foundation on which one builds in this world must be

00:19:34 --> 00:19:38

righteous intention. You must not build with your lower self, your

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

neffs and your passions or however, the ignorant person

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

builds in this world with his lower self, his passions, his

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

natural impulses, and his habitual inclinations, without reference to

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

the commandment of law of the hookworm, right, which is before

00:19:51 --> 00:19:55

the fact that after the fact, so we don't do anything, take any

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

steps or anything like that towards accomplishing something.

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

So we wanted a hawk Mala

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

The other sheet is this thing called Al is haram and then beyond

00:20:03 --> 00:20:09

Hernan haram, is it obligatory upon me. Is it fortify maybe? Is

00:20:09 --> 00:20:10

it a communal obligation?

00:20:12 --> 00:20:16

Maybe we should even ask a female slightly nest? Is it something

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

that is in the interest? Or the best interest of the people I'm

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

looking to serve? And, you know, you have to take it through these

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

gates, you know, like, and the chef talked about this before?

00:20:29 --> 00:20:32

Well, you take us through the gate of the Quran and the Sunnah. And

00:20:32 --> 00:20:33

then you take it through the gate of,

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

of Salah, right? Do you feel like there is a mandate from from the

00:20:39 --> 00:20:43

Divine Decree for you to be doing this? Or do you feel like you

00:20:43 --> 00:20:47

don't have an easy, right, you don't have divine permission. And

00:20:47 --> 00:20:51

they said that they see them in an easy facilitation of something,

00:20:51 --> 00:20:55

and that it's working, and it's operating. And it passes through

00:20:55 --> 00:20:59

the gates of Quran and Sunnah. And you don't have like a personal

00:20:59 --> 00:21:04

sort of attachment in terms of your neffs with it. These are all

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

indications that in sha Allah, that is something that it was

00:21:06 --> 00:21:12

destined for you to do, and that almost everybody is pleased with

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

you doing this thing. But sometimes even in the deen,

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

sometimes, even in projects that we do to serve Muslims, we may

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

actually be just kind of serving our ego, or serving a particular

00:21:25 --> 00:21:29

personal inclination, perhaps, because

00:21:31 --> 00:21:32

we feel like

00:21:34 --> 00:21:40

this may be something very subtle, may not be something very blatant

00:21:40 --> 00:21:44

and obvious, but subtle within you. It takes really a degree of,

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

you know, soul searching, to kind of,

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

to

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

weed these things out of yourself, but you may be doing it because,

00:21:53 --> 00:21:57

you know, you're looking to make a name for yourself, even though you

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

don't admit that to yourself, or you want to be seen in a

00:22:01 --> 00:22:04

particular way, as soon as, you know, I wouldn't be seen as having

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

this project, or the school or this number of followers or this

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

number of students, right. Don't be,

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

don't be beguiled by the number of followers or people who show

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

interest, you know, the, the number one, the person or the guy

00:22:21 --> 00:22:25

or the the entity that has the greatest number of followers,

00:22:26 --> 00:22:31

that are definitely within the billions, is shaytaan is Satan,

00:22:31 --> 00:22:36

and that erode. So it's not a it's not an indication that all of

00:22:36 --> 00:22:41

divine grace or Providence, necessarily, it may or may not be,

00:22:42 --> 00:22:48

the important thing is, are you adhering to the commandments and

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

avoiding the prohibitions of Allah subhanaw taala. That is the main

00:22:52 --> 00:22:53

criteria.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:55

So

00:22:57 --> 00:23:00

we don't want to build things out of habitual inclinations, or

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

natural impulses, we want to have a mania. And that's why some of

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

the many people that anyway, they say that in terms of givings

00:23:08 --> 00:23:13

occurred, it is recommended that you not be the direct conduit to

00:23:13 --> 00:23:16

the person receiving it. And it's even better that you don't even

00:23:16 --> 00:23:22

know in terms of identity, the first people or persons who are

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

receiving it. And remember, you know, communities used to be much

00:23:26 --> 00:23:29

smaller than then most of the times it used to be actually

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

distributed within the local community. And we didn't really

00:23:32 --> 00:23:36

have the phenomenon where it's so easily to move, to move money

00:23:36 --> 00:23:39

across borders and things like that. So

00:23:40 --> 00:23:45

oftentimes, not m&d was was, was priceless. And the solder hint,

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

they would say, you know, they would have a negative

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

representative wouldn't say I'm not presented for that, but just

00:23:52 --> 00:23:56

you know, you could take this and go distributed and they don't they

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

want to avoid having a sense of mtN

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

sense of coming across that person who they know that was a recipient

00:24:04 --> 00:24:07

of theirs account or their southern thought. And they want

00:24:07 --> 00:24:09

they don't want to have a feeling in their heart that that person

00:24:09 --> 00:24:13

shouldn't be grateful to them. They want to deal with them in a

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

way that has nothing to do with what was a command from Allah

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

subhanaw taala to distribute these, these funds, and you're

00:24:21 --> 00:24:25

merely the distributor and so there is no reason for them to be

00:24:25 --> 00:24:28

grateful to the one who's distributing their their gratitude

00:24:28 --> 00:24:31

should be towards the last one with Allah. Right in reality, I

00:24:31 --> 00:24:37

mean, he was so the audience they didn't even want to have you know,

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

they don't want to hear thank you or, or anything like that. They

00:24:39 --> 00:24:43

just want to feel the Command of Allah subhanaw taala and move on.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

And, you know, they have done what they're supposed to do and not to

00:24:46 --> 00:24:50

have any sort of healthiness any sort of, you know,

00:24:51 --> 00:24:56

sense of loss, or Lachman for the soul in that they want to just

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59

10 feet

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

Just like the master tells his servant, go do this and go do that

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

and go there. And they do that. And they do that willingly. And

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

they do that lovingly. And they do that. And Charlaine the best of

00:25:10 --> 00:25:13

intentions without seeking anything beyond that.

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

So he says, The ignorant person builds in this world with his

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

lower self, his passions, his natural impulses,

00:25:24 --> 00:25:27

his eventual inclinations without reference to the commandment of

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

the law of Hong Kong, right. That's why we all need to learn

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

and no wonder that game

00:25:32 --> 00:25:35

or compliance with the Judgment, Allah of Allah subhanaw, taala,

00:25:36 --> 00:25:40

and conformity to his ferret his action. And that's what we said

00:25:40 --> 00:25:42

earlier, the other case, compliance with the law,

00:25:42 --> 00:25:44

everything obviously, is bikable.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:48

You know, even the suffering in this world that people suffer is

00:25:48 --> 00:25:53

by Allah's decree. So it doesn't mean in that general sense, he

00:25:53 --> 00:26:00

means no more very specific sense that you don't do it by the

00:26:00 --> 00:26:03

highway, you don't do like person inclination, then you begin to

00:26:03 --> 00:26:05

have a

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

feeling for when it is something that will last a long time and

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

wants you to do and it's not something of a personal

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

inclination. And obviously, that is

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

a fine degree. And I've been asked numerous times, and I've asked my

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

own teachers about this also, you know, how do you know something is

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

an inspiration, right, like a Divine One, versus it's something

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

a machination, or the

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

discourse between you and your neffs of the self, or something

00:26:32 --> 00:26:36

yourself was trying. And I remember asked one of my teachers

00:26:36 --> 00:26:38

and he said, it's actually not that not that easy to do. It's

00:26:38 --> 00:26:40

difficult to do. And that's why

00:26:41 --> 00:26:42

we have kind of two

00:26:48 --> 00:26:52

two weapons in our arsenal, so to speak to help with that is the

00:26:52 --> 00:26:56

shatta. Wale is the Father. So it's the Shara is to test the

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

shear to seek the shura, right of a chef of a mentor of a teacher,

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

someone who was in a position, perhaps that knows you, well,

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

maybe knows you better than you know, yourself, and can help you

00:27:06 --> 00:27:09

guide you with that. And also istikhara, and the one who knows

00:27:09 --> 00:27:13

us better than anyone, everyone else, no matter what the human

00:27:13 --> 00:27:17

being is, is a loss prone party. And so to seek the istikhara, so

00:27:17 --> 00:27:20

to seek the good, and it was

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

really super wordy in our family, if he said, they used to do is

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

declutter everyday at the beginning of the day, once a

00:27:27 --> 00:27:31

general istikhara for all of the things that were going to happen

00:27:31 --> 00:27:35

throughout the day, and to seek the good of their actions

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

throughout that particular day, throughout the morning, throughout

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

the evening, so they still thought it was something that they did

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

regularly, not just in the quote, unquote, you know, when I have a

00:27:45 --> 00:27:48

big decision to make, should I marry this person or marry that

00:27:48 --> 00:27:51

person? Or should I live in this city or not in the city? And

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

obviously, it's the photos are recommended, if not required,

00:27:56 --> 00:27:59

at least from a spiritual perspective in those situations,

00:27:59 --> 00:28:03

but not just the so called, quote, big decisions, you know, and they

00:28:03 --> 00:28:06

said, then we start some kind of argument and this t shirt off

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

equally she was I said, I'm a teacher says to her and

00:28:09 --> 00:28:15

everything, right. And so it would be a good practice to have this

00:28:15 --> 00:28:19

Sultan istikhara, even at the very beginning of your day prayer, a

00:28:19 --> 00:28:26

lot of aha, you know, the 14, prayer, and then pray two or four

00:28:26 --> 00:28:30

records and count them as artistic fodder, and then do the artistic

00:28:30 --> 00:28:35

thought or the supplication of a stuffer after that, for all those

00:28:35 --> 00:28:38

things that are going to recording today. And in sha Allah, you'll be

00:28:38 --> 00:28:40

my fourth, right and you'll be

00:28:41 --> 00:28:46

protected and a lot more data will know your lawyer, okay, what are

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

you? How are you? Okay, what do you play with on the coffee? Well,

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

sometimes it will not lead you astray. And that's your attitude.

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

And you're seeking to have the right intention. And, and I would

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

also say, to be balanced about this and not to be on the kind of,

00:29:01 --> 00:29:06

you know, obsessive compulsive side of things. Yes, it's good to

00:29:06 --> 00:29:08

be introspective, and it's good to kind of

00:29:09 --> 00:29:14

search your intention, but not to the degree of 10 o'clock. Right.

00:29:14 --> 00:29:17

And the province I sent me said about such people, helicopter

00:29:17 --> 00:29:22

maternity, one helicopter, helicopter military, three times

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

metadata as one who's nitpicky either about other people or even

00:29:26 --> 00:29:30

about themselves, like kind of splitting hair, you know, type of

00:29:30 --> 00:29:33

attitude. And, you know, should I wear the green shoes today? Or

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

should I wear the yellow shoes, or maybe the green is better, maybe

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

the other one. So you're vacillating back and forth and,

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

you know, reserve that sort of

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

let's call it scrupulousness. For when it's appropriate, but it's

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

not appropriate for things that don't have the impact that you

00:29:52 --> 00:29:53

think they're going to have.

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

I've seen this and some people do that. They tend to kind of do

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

You know,

00:30:02 --> 00:30:07

do it too much, kind of to a great degree and, you know, something

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

feels right. Sometimes you have to also be a little bit of a risk

00:30:10 --> 00:30:13

taker, you know, a little, you know, to assume a little bit of

00:30:13 --> 00:30:16

risk, nothing's going to be perfect. But

00:30:17 --> 00:30:21

one of the attributes of the multiple not there, right of the

00:30:21 --> 00:30:24

person who's kind of a little bit OCD and with a lot that is, and

00:30:24 --> 00:30:29

when he talks about this in CRM cavea. He said, this actually

00:30:29 --> 00:30:34

branches into what's Wassa. Wassa is a kind of specific type of

00:30:34 --> 00:30:38

tomato of nitpicking or hair splitting, usually in acts of

00:30:38 --> 00:30:44

worship. And more often than not in the Hatha and absolution in

00:30:45 --> 00:30:49

purifying in terms of acts of worship. So like we'll do and the

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

last thing I'm probably not so much more people use the hammer,

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

but definitely

00:30:55 --> 00:31:00

the most. And he said, this happens for one of two reasons in

00:31:00 --> 00:31:03

Muslim heaven for lack of Jehovah's sunnah. So the

00:31:03 --> 00:31:07

sabbatical means it could be actually a clinical case, there

00:31:07 --> 00:31:12

could be something psychological going on there. Or our and or it

00:31:12 --> 00:31:12

could be

00:31:13 --> 00:31:19

a ignorance of the Sunnah. Right? The Sunnah, he said, exhorts you

00:31:19 --> 00:31:23

to follow it, but not to the degree where you think you're

00:31:23 --> 00:31:27

going to reach perfection. So perfection is not possible.

00:31:28 --> 00:31:35

You're just you're enjoined to do it in a way where in in the

00:31:35 --> 00:31:37

greater preponderance of your of your,

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

of your certainty, it's there. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

Beyond that. This is what I said. He says, he says, knock him off. I

00:31:45 --> 00:31:48

don't know, man, I thought it was going to be taken into account for

00:31:48 --> 00:31:53

that which we believe to be right. So that means for example, if I

00:31:53 --> 00:31:55

prayed a particular prayer, and

00:31:57 --> 00:32:00

I had something impure, filthy on my clothing that I didn't realize

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

was there. And my whole life, I never realized it was there, then

00:32:04 --> 00:32:08

I go to the AMA, am I going to be taken into account for that impure

00:32:09 --> 00:32:12

thing that was on my garment? No, I'm not Insha Allah, because

00:32:12 --> 00:32:14

that's something that could have been I was not aware of I didn't

00:32:14 --> 00:32:19

do it intentionally. Right. So it's my mother's koboko That which

00:32:19 --> 00:32:25

you do intentionally? Right? If the Allah eases the burden on the

00:32:25 --> 00:32:28

one who says Kennametal portfolio, right, this is mentioned before

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

and because they were compelled to do so they were threatened bodily

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

harm or death or something like that.

00:32:35 --> 00:32:36

What McCargo

00:32:37 --> 00:32:42

will Eman, and your client is fine. It has to what Nina with

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

email that you're going to be taken to account for that. So it's

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

stupid, that's something like that. So about other things that

00:32:46 --> 00:32:49

we you know, are out of our

00:32:50 --> 00:32:54

purview out of our out of our intention or ability to, to

00:32:54 --> 00:32:55

achieve. And

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

that's why they say they have a fifth principle and we're shuffled

00:32:59 --> 00:33:02

potentially with tayseer and Michelle Coto digital will text

00:33:02 --> 00:33:06

here. So when there's hardship, then facilitation has to be

00:33:06 --> 00:33:09

introduced, this is why we have Rojas or we have dispensations,

00:33:10 --> 00:33:13

and things of this nature, right? You're too sick too fast, and you

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

don't fast and may even be obligatory for you not too fast.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:21

You're traveling and you're not settled, then you pray the cost of

00:33:22 --> 00:33:26

right you pray the Salah to cause the four instead of two, two

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

instead of four. And that's more beloved to Allah subhanaw taala

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

so, you know,

00:33:32 --> 00:33:36

the introspection Yes, but also keep it balanced, we don't want it

00:33:36 --> 00:33:41

to go to the toward the side of Watsa right, which is whisperings

00:33:41 --> 00:33:45

and kind of more of like OCD type of syndrome. And, and the other

00:33:45 --> 00:33:50

extreme is would be to how or, or, or laughter, you know, like a

00:33:50 --> 00:33:53

complete lack of concern about doing things right or not doing

00:33:53 --> 00:33:56

the right but somewhere in the middle and the middle path is the

00:33:56 --> 00:33:59

sunlit path. This is the way it was somehow the project problem.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:11

So he said again, the ignorant person builds in the swamp that is

00:34:11 --> 00:34:14

lower self, his passions, natural impulses and a spiritual

00:34:14 --> 00:34:16

inclinations, without reference to the commandment of the law, the

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

Hurco more compliance with the judgment of Allah Allah subhanaw

00:34:19 --> 00:34:22

taala. And conformance to his action is found so of course you

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

cannot be credited with any righteous intention. He cannot

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

enjoy the use of that which he has built and someone else will occupy

00:34:28 --> 00:34:31

it. On the Day of Resurrection. He'll be asked Why did you build

00:34:31 --> 00:34:35

Where did you get what you spent? Why did you spend it he will be

00:34:35 --> 00:34:37

called to account for it all.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:56

So we're just about out of time, I believe. But I think I just want

00:34:56 --> 00:34:59

to read just one small thing.

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

So there's on page 370, kind of middle of the page, he says to

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

know more.

00:35:45 --> 00:35:47

Actually, he's talking living stuff before that.

00:35:49 --> 00:35:51

When he's talking about the relationship between the nephew

00:35:51 --> 00:35:52

that

00:35:55 --> 00:35:55

follows.

00:35:59 --> 00:36:00

He says

00:36:02 --> 00:36:06

anything that distracts you from Allah subhanaw taala is

00:36:06 --> 00:36:09

unfortunate for you, even if it is fasting and prayer,

00:36:10 --> 00:36:13

beyond the performance of obligatory religious duties to

00:36:13 --> 00:36:16

follow it, and those were commanded by the Sunday, if you

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

keep the facet extent that isn't obligatory duty then afterwards

00:36:19 --> 00:36:23

the hunger and thirst experienced in the naphtha, the supererogatory

00:36:23 --> 00:36:26

fasting distracts you from keeping your heart in the presence of

00:36:26 --> 00:36:30

unhappy load of truth for marine rigidly aware of him from living

00:36:30 --> 00:36:33

comfortably through him. And in his company, and from numerous

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

teams, and you are the servant of the obstacle. right opposite He

00:36:37 --> 00:36:41

jabbed. So he's saying, The supererogatory obviously the

00:36:41 --> 00:36:46

fault, Matthews gotta have the obligatory you have to do it. But

00:36:46 --> 00:36:50

in your performance of the supererogatory if it all is

00:36:50 --> 00:36:53

causing for you is a distraction from the last one with China and

00:36:53 --> 00:36:54

you're more into the

00:36:56 --> 00:37:01

the actual completion of that single act of worship, but at the

00:37:01 --> 00:37:04

same time, it draws you away from Allah subhanaw taala. Then he

00:37:04 --> 00:37:07

says, your opposite hijab, and sometimes this happens with people

00:37:07 --> 00:37:12

too, they become focused on kind of it's a numbers game. How many

00:37:12 --> 00:37:17

Joseph Quran to jury today? And how many XLR college did you pray

00:37:17 --> 00:37:20

and Oh, you didn't do that enough, all you have to do more. And

00:37:20 --> 00:37:24

you're and there's even people for groups who kind of and they do it,

00:37:24 --> 00:37:27

I think as a means for encouragement, but I think that

00:37:27 --> 00:37:31

runs the danger that then you become opted out calm, right, you

00:37:31 --> 00:37:35

become a servant to the numbers. And so you just see the head of

00:37:35 --> 00:37:40

the objective as fulfilling the numbers Oh, I have to do these

00:37:40 --> 00:37:44

numbers. You know, I have to read X number of dollars a day I have

00:37:44 --> 00:37:49

to perform X number of cars I have to so forth. So shit here calls

00:37:49 --> 00:37:53

that if it's not accompanied by nearness to the last one all data,

00:37:54 --> 00:37:54

but on top of

00:37:55 --> 00:37:59

your circle of the hijab of the veil, the circle of creatures and

00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

of your lower self in your passions to know where that if

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

stays with Allah beneath the banner there NIWA of His nearness

00:38:05 --> 00:38:10

together with his knowledge, the knowledge of God and His secret

00:38:10 --> 00:38:12

his sphere, and he moves in accordance with His judgment and

00:38:12 --> 00:38:17

his decree. When he is incapable of action, he is turned without

00:38:17 --> 00:38:20

making himself turn move without making self move, and brought to

00:38:20 --> 00:38:24

rest without bringing himself to rest. He comes to be numbered

00:38:24 --> 00:38:28

among those concerning whom Allah has said, and we turn them over to

00:38:28 --> 00:38:30

write that over to life. Right. And this is from sort of

00:38:32 --> 00:38:34

a failure that he knew that she may go canoeing bouncy for the

00:38:34 --> 00:38:38

rocky lawsuit. And he's used that example before in the previous

00:38:39 --> 00:38:42

discourse, right? So there's the call loop so they wouldn't get

00:38:42 --> 00:38:46

sores on their side of the body I was what I would do in the 309

00:38:46 --> 00:38:49

years of sleep, you call the boom that remove that tissue man, from

00:38:49 --> 00:38:52

left to right and right to left, and so forth. And he said he uses

00:38:52 --> 00:38:55

this example as that's how we should see ourselves being near

00:38:55 --> 00:38:58

the house. So, this is how we should see ourselves before our

00:38:58 --> 00:38:59

last time.

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

When incapacity came from them, they of course to move movement

00:39:03 --> 00:39:07

occurs when the power The Quadra is present, while stillness and

00:39:07 --> 00:39:12

surrender to sleep, come with incapacity, there is movement when

00:39:12 --> 00:39:14

you are in existence, which you would and stillness when you are

00:39:14 --> 00:39:19

non existence. In fact, there is movement in the law the hokum and

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

stillness in knowledge are the end, you will become your True

00:39:21 --> 00:39:25

Self Only if you have drawn from the lower self and neffs and the

00:39:25 --> 00:39:28

Hauer and the taba. These three things you mentioned all the time,

00:39:29 --> 00:39:33

and creatures altogether. You must not become attached to creatures

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

for no one is capable of causing you harm being a benefit or

00:39:35 --> 00:39:38

providing you with sustenance, other than your Lord and soldier.

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

You must always be obedience to Him and His commandments and

00:39:42 --> 00:39:45

prohibitions. And probably that section needs a little more

00:39:46 --> 00:39:48

discussion than what I gave, but hopefully you're going to come up

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

again, I think,

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

in the last few discourses, and so we'll talk about it

00:39:55 --> 00:39:57

at that time, isn't it so we'll stop here.
