AI: Summary ©
The concept of working for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is essential and necessary, as it is the only act that is required to be done. It is important to find a connection with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and not get caught in the trap of being patient with him. It is also important to practice the right actions to avoid mistakes, confusion, and negative consequences. The renewal of the accessibility of Islam deen is a combination of physical and mental renewal, and it is crucial to practice the right actions to avoid mistakes, confusion, and negative consequences. The people who are not seeking from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, but only those who are in the 'alameh and 'umma fort.

So, Hamdulillah, we've been able to read a

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

few sessions in a row

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

from the

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

text of Fathar Lebani wal Fayed al Bahmani,

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

Farsidi Muhammadu Adil Qadr

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

al Jaelani

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

And as we said this is a text

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

of

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

62

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

discourses

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

where Sir David Abdul Kalaj Jailani discusses

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

some of the aspects of

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

how to

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

further our relationship

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

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

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

And in turn,

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

through our relationship with the creatures of Allah

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

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, with His creation.

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

And that's basically the dichotomy.

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

We we're dealing with

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

Al Khaliq, Al Khaliq.

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

So the Khaliq, the one who created everything,

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

and then the Khaliq who are the beneficiaries

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

and the recipients

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11

of the Divine

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

facts,

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

and names and attributes

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

of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

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

So we have reached

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

the 5th

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

discourse,

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

and in this one,

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

he speaks only mostly about a concept we

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

have touched upon before, al Ubudiyya.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:33

And Ubudiyya

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

comes from the word

00:01:36 --> 00:01:36

abudayabudu,

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

to worship,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

and that's how it's commonly used,

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

but, it really means to be in service

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

of, or to be a servant of.

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

And, as such, is to be in service

00:01:50 --> 00:01:53

of, in a manner where you are not

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

doing it,

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

out of expectation of reward, because,

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

you know, it literally means slave, but we

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

use servant, because people are uncomfortable with the

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

word slave, because there's a lot of negative

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

connotations with that.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:06

As it should be, because we should only

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

be slaves to to God, to Allah Subhanahu

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

Wa Ta'ala. But if we are in servitude

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala that means we're

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

not doing it because we

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

have some type of expected

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20

reward that's coming back. So the servant serves

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

in the name of the service. In the

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

name of the one that they are serving.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:26

And so this is a concept of Uhudia.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

And,

00:02:28 --> 00:02:30

though we may claim it, and, and though

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

we may strive to do it, it's not

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

so easy to get to that

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

particular,

00:02:34 --> 00:02:35

state

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

of Rubudiya,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

to be in a state of Rubudiya, and

00:02:39 --> 00:02:40

then Mulahadat al Rububiya,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:43

and then understanding the Rububiya that Allah Subha'ala

00:02:43 --> 00:02:46

is the Lord of all things, which is

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47

a necessary,

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

attribute of Ubudiyya. So you can't really be

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

a true Abidit, servant of God, unless you're

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

also quite aware that Allah is your Lord

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

and sovereign

00:02:58 --> 00:02:58

over you.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

So he says he begins it by saying,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:39

So he said, where is your Ubudiyya?

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

Where is your servitude

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

for the Haqq?

00:03:43 --> 00:03:45

For the real and the true Allah Subhanahu

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

Wa Ta'ala.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

Show or bring this reality of your Ubudiyya

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

or bring about this reality of the Ubudiyya,

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

Then you will be sufficed

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

in all of your affairs.

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

But

00:03:59 --> 00:04:02

you are a runaway servant from your master.

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

So runaway servant here, the metaphor meaning, 'Abdul

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

Abit' means that they ran away without just

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

cause.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

And that means that we may claim our

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

buddiyyah, but our actions betray what's really going

00:04:14 --> 00:04:15

on inside.

00:04:17 --> 00:04:20

So he says, go back to him and

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

be humble before him.

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

Right?

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

And

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

means that which he asks you to do,

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

you do it.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

And that which He forbids from you, you

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

stay away from.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

And for His Qadha, that which He decrees

00:04:38 --> 00:04:39

for you, which is a theme we touched

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

upon earlier. This Sabri, wal mu'afakah

00:04:43 --> 00:04:46

with forbearance, with patience, and mu'afakah acquiesces.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

If these things are completed within you, then

00:04:50 --> 00:04:51

your Ubudiyyah,

00:04:51 --> 00:04:53

your servitude to your master

00:04:53 --> 00:04:54

is complete.

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

Wajaaat kamin hulkifayyah.

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

Then he will suffice you

00:04:58 --> 00:05:00

in all of your affairs. Doesn't Allah Subhanahu

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

Wa Ta'ala say in the Quran,

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

Alayhi salahu bikaafin Abda?

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

Does Allah not suffice

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

his servant?

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

And

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

this type of,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

sufficiency that we see with Allah drawing from

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

the concept we talked about in the earlier

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

session, which is alghina builda,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

to be sufficed

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

with Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Here are the

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

similar words,

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

adakifaya,

00:05:24 --> 00:05:25

alaysawalbikafin

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

abdaniyahani,

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

you are not in need and it suffices

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

you,

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

or or just enough to suffice you to

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

be with Allah Subhana

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

So if you're a budiyyah,

00:06:17 --> 00:06:19

if it's valid, if it's true,

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

if it's functional,

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

a habduk, then Allah will love you. And

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

then the the love of Allah will grow

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

stronger in your heart. And then you will

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

find

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

once. Right?

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

Means intimacy.

00:06:33 --> 00:06:36

And there truly is no true intimacy except

00:06:36 --> 00:06:38

with Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. All the types

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

of intimacy

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

are fading,

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

are fleeting,

00:06:42 --> 00:06:43

are temporary,

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

you know, wane and and and have ebbs

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

and flows, and so people will never really

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

be quite

00:06:50 --> 00:06:52

satisfied with an intimacy

00:06:52 --> 00:06:54

along with Allah. But this unsabilah,

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

you know, if your unz is with Allah,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:57

if your intimacy is with Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

Ta'ala, it suffices you. If your love is

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

with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, that suffices you.

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

If the feeling of Korb, as he says,

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

and

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

feeling of nearness, so you feel that Allah

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

is near to you, then that is sufficient

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

for you. You won't need the need

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

to feel

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

close to anyone or anything else, or you

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

won't feel the need to be loved by

00:07:19 --> 00:07:21

anyone or anything else. And you won't feel

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

the need then also to find intimacy with

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

anyone

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

or anyone else.

00:07:26 --> 00:07:28

And you don't feel the need to find

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

companionship

00:07:29 --> 00:07:32

truly with anyone or anyone else. How do

00:07:32 --> 00:07:35

you get to that? Takoonu raadeinanu fijayimirahwah.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:38

You be contented with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:07:38 --> 00:07:39

in all of your circumstances.

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

So even if you feel that the earth

00:07:43 --> 00:07:45

is constricting upon you,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:48

and all of the doors are closed,

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

you still

00:07:50 --> 00:07:51

don't

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

scorn your Lord.

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

Right? And obviously, as we said, people don't

00:07:56 --> 00:07:58

actually feel like they scorn Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:07:58 --> 00:08:00

Ta'ala, but if you scorn his decree,

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

and say I don't like this, why this

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

happened to me, why can't I have it

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

to somebody else, well that person is not

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

as good as I am, and I'm the

00:08:06 --> 00:08:07

one who has this calamity,

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

then that's that's a type of scorning, definitely

00:08:09 --> 00:08:11

of the decree of God, and

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

that could be also,

00:08:13 --> 00:08:15

a scorning of Allah himself. Hasey'aku.

00:08:17 --> 00:08:18

So,

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

you will also not go

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

knock on or get closer to any door

00:08:24 --> 00:08:26

except his. You will not eat any food

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

except his. You will be like Musa alaihi

00:08:29 --> 00:08:30

salam, Moses, as it was said about in

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

the Quran, Baharramna alihi maradhi, I'm in Qab.

00:08:34 --> 00:08:35

So we know the story of Musa

00:08:36 --> 00:08:37

that

00:08:37 --> 00:08:39

Allah gave inspiration, Ilham,

00:08:40 --> 00:08:42

to his mother to put him in the

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

Nile in the small

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

cradle

00:08:46 --> 00:08:48

because of pharaoh's plot to kill all of

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

the firstborns of Beni Isra'id.

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

And then the,

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

the boat found its way to the actual

00:08:55 --> 00:08:58

palace of pharaoh, where they took him as

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

an adopted son. But then here the verse

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

says, waharramna'alihi

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

maralya.

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

So they brought him all of the nursing

00:09:04 --> 00:09:06

mothers and none of them He would not

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

accept any of them. So as part of

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

to bring coolness to the eyes of

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

the mother of Musa, alayhis salam, he would

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

not suckle from anyone else.

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

And then the sister of Musa, alayhis salam,

00:09:19 --> 00:09:20

goes to them and says, I know of

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

someone that he will suckle from. And this

00:09:22 --> 00:09:24

was the mother, the actual mother of Musa.

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

So

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

to pharaoh and his wife,

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

he was mere she was merely

00:09:29 --> 00:09:31

a wet nurse, but she was actually the

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

mother of Musa 'alayhi salam, and this part

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

coolness

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

to her eyes. So here the metaphor that

00:09:37 --> 00:09:38

he's using is,

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

not in terms of an actual physical thing

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

that all of the

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

other sources for which you can get your

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

sustenance will be halal for you, but if

00:09:48 --> 00:09:50

you see that the only true source is

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, then you'll be in

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

the position like Musa alaihis salam. So Allah

00:09:55 --> 00:09:57

took took care of Musa, took care of

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

Moses, even though all those other women who

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

could have possibly provided for him is basically

00:10:02 --> 00:10:03

his sustenance, his life.

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

But Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Har Ramda Alaihin

00:10:07 --> 00:10:08

Lawwada. So all of them

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

were not suitable, and he gave him his

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

true mother. So we have our true wealth,

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

our true sustenance,

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

our our true list only with Allah Subhanahu

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

Wa Ta'ala. So the moment that you see

00:10:20 --> 00:10:21

it as coming from someone or something

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

else, then

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

then you fall into the trap of

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

putting the intermediaries, which are veils between you

00:10:31 --> 00:10:33

and Allah Subhanahu Waqqara. So we're not saying

00:10:33 --> 00:10:35

physically, no, yes, you may have a job,

00:10:35 --> 00:10:36

and yes, you may have a business, and

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

yes, you may, draw income from that and

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

all that sort of thing, and they're a

00:10:40 --> 00:10:41

sbed.

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

And that's true. But where is your heart?

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

What is the qiblah of your heart? Where

00:10:46 --> 00:10:48

is that situated? Where is that looking towards?

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

To Allah

00:10:54 --> 00:10:55

So it says,

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

So

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

have patience

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

with him,

00:11:06 --> 00:11:08

not patience to be away from him.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:10

This is kind of the beauty of the

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

Arabic language. The Sabra'a Hashid, or Sabra'a Hashid,

00:11:13 --> 00:11:15

or Sabra'a Hashid. So every time you change

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

a prepositional phrase,

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

or the hafir al Mana, the the the

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

whole phrase changes.

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

So to be patient with Allah Subhana Waqqai.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:24

So with his decree, with all of the

00:11:24 --> 00:11:25

different

00:11:25 --> 00:11:27

circumstances that are happening to you. Walathasfarah,

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

walathasfarahanhu.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:30

But don't

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

grow accustomed to be patient without him.

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

Right? Because that's

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

that's hijab, that's zwalaam, that's darkness.

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

That's when we can fall prey to our

00:11:40 --> 00:11:42

wussawas. We fall prey to

00:11:42 --> 00:11:45

our misgivings, and our whisperings, and we're easy

00:11:45 --> 00:11:47

pray for Shaitan, and for the Dunya, and

00:11:47 --> 00:11:49

the Nafs, and the Hawa, and all of

00:11:49 --> 00:11:51

those external enemies, and internal ones.

00:11:51 --> 00:11:52

When

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

we abandon and go accustomed to not having

00:11:55 --> 00:11:57

the closeness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:11:57 --> 00:11:59

So if you are patient with his decree,

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

so there's a Ma'iha, we talked about this

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

Ma'iha before. Patient with his decree then you're

00:12:04 --> 00:12:06

actually patient with Allah. And then you are

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

with Allah. So there's this is how the

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

Ma'i or the wishness with God develops.

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

And then he says, amalimta and man sabara

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

qadr.

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

And the one who has patience, qadr, then

00:12:16 --> 00:12:18

has the ability. Right? Because it it's an

00:12:18 --> 00:12:19

it's

00:12:19 --> 00:12:21

a it's an example of qudra.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

Right? It's not ajes. Ajes means in in

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

in capacity.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:28

Right? So

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

when you panic, you're panicking at your incapacity.

00:12:31 --> 00:12:32

Like, oh my god. What am I gonna

00:12:32 --> 00:12:33

do with this situation?

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

What's this is crazy. I have nothing. I

00:12:35 --> 00:12:36

don't know what's gonna happen.

00:12:37 --> 00:12:39

I I I don't know where to start.

00:12:40 --> 00:12:41

So you panic before because you feel like

00:12:41 --> 00:12:43

there's nothing I can do about this or

00:12:43 --> 00:12:44

it's unknown and I can't get to it.

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

So there's this panic because you don't have

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

control over the situation. In other words,

00:12:49 --> 00:12:50

there's this incapacity,

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

and that sentiment is true. And the reason

00:12:53 --> 00:12:56

you panic is because you don't see how

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

it can be handled.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

But the problem is there's a half of

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

that's missing. So, yes,

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

recognition of your incapacity,

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

but also recognition of Allah's capacity, of Allah's

00:13:07 --> 00:13:08

Qudah.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

So when you're patient with something it means

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

that you know it came from Allah, and

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

you also know that Allah can take you

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

out of it. So if you're in a

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

calamity, Allah puts you there, He's only going

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

to take you out of it. That's why

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

I'm on Sabala Qadr. So if you have

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

the patience, forbearance,

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

and the acknowledgement that Allah is the one

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

who can get you out of this, then

00:13:26 --> 00:13:28

it's no longer jaza, it's not just panic,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:30

because you don't know what to do, but

00:13:30 --> 00:13:32

you still may not know what to do,

00:13:32 --> 00:13:33

but you know that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:13:33 --> 00:13:34

has you

00:13:35 --> 00:13:37

taken care of, and so you don't worry

00:13:37 --> 00:13:38

about it too much.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:40

And the last verse in Surat Al Imran

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

that he mentions here,

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

So he said,

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

So this sabr is very important.

00:14:01 --> 00:14:02

You ahiweladinahanusburu,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:04

have patience with sabrru.

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

Some of the facilities said the the saberu

00:14:07 --> 00:14:08

is like the same as the speru,

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

but a more emphatic form of it. And

00:14:11 --> 00:14:12

some of them say,

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

and Musabara means,

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

if you don't have Sab, like as an

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

intrinsic quality, then the Musabara is will try

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

to be patient. Tatakandaf is Sab.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:24

Warabitu.

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

Right? A ribat means to stay firm.

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

Muslims they used to have on the frontier

00:14:30 --> 00:14:31

lands,

00:14:31 --> 00:14:33

in Arbutza or Rivat.

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

So the Rivat is, you know, where they

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

would have kind of a watch tower or

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

lookout

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

station to to see,

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

potential

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

oncoming enemies, and so there are people who

00:14:44 --> 00:14:46

actually live there. And it was a very

00:14:47 --> 00:14:49

hard, life to live, to be out on

00:14:49 --> 00:14:50

the frontier, and you're all by yourself, and

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

you're just kind of keeping watch.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

And there wasn't Muslims who did that, but

00:14:54 --> 00:14:56

in the pre modern world, when you didn't

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

have, you know, sonar and radar systems and

00:14:59 --> 00:15:01

and and advanced,

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

sort of, technology to to anticipate an attack.

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

You have to be on the frontier.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

So what I'll be doing? So this rivat

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

is not just

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

limited to to actual frontier position, but also

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

the frontiers of your heart. So

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

this this livat, you know, the Prabhupad Vasayevsamsherikar

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

livat when he talked about waiting

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

for one prayer to the next. You know,

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

that you're you're you're mathekif, and you're holding

00:15:27 --> 00:15:29

on to the the Habla of Allah, to

00:15:29 --> 00:15:32

the rope of God, and you're patient and

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

you're forbearance. And you can think of revolt

00:15:34 --> 00:15:36

as kind of even a more emphatic form

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

of

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

patience.

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

And have a tap of Allah and then

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

not la'alakum.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:43

Here,

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

not perhaps you will have success, you most

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

definitely have success. And that's one of, kind

00:15:47 --> 00:15:48

of, the Quranic,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:53

literary devices that use La'Alla, which is usually

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

mythology, or to say, perhaps this will happen.

00:15:55 --> 00:15:56

But when it talks about things that Allah

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

is telling you, it means there's no La'allah,

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

there's no just it may or may not

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

happen. It will happen if you have the

00:16:03 --> 00:16:05

preconditions that he mentions here. So Sabra, Musabra,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

War Ribat, and the Taqwa. Those four things.

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

Then Sayyid Abu Qadir, he says, dihabudinikum

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

bi'awbaati ashiha.

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

Said, you will lose your Deen or your

00:16:17 --> 00:16:19

Deen goes away or the Deen of the

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

people might go away with 4 things.

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

He says in Awal,

00:16:24 --> 00:16:25

alnaqumla tamelunabima

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

talamu,

00:16:27 --> 00:16:29

that you do not

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

practice what you know.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

The second,

00:16:32 --> 00:16:33

enakum tameluna

00:16:34 --> 00:16:35

dimela talamun,

00:16:36 --> 00:16:38

that you practice with that which you do

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

not know. And I'll explain that in a

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

second.

00:16:48 --> 00:16:49

That you

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

don't learn

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

what you don't know and then you remain

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

ignorant.

00:16:54 --> 00:16:55

And then the 4th,

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

that you prevent people from learning that which

00:17:01 --> 00:17:02

they did not know.

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

So the first,

00:17:05 --> 00:17:07

you practice that which you don't know

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

or or you you do not,

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

practice that which you know. So you know

00:17:12 --> 00:17:14

here, Ein means in al minnefa in all

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

of these examples.

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

So there's different types of knowledge. There's al

00:17:18 --> 00:17:20

minnefa, there's beneficial knowledge, and then there's unbeneficial

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

knowledge. So it says here you you don't

00:17:23 --> 00:17:24

practice that which you know, that in other

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

words that which you know of beneficial

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

knowledge.

00:17:28 --> 00:17:29

So you know what the right thing is,

00:17:29 --> 00:17:31

but you don't practice it. Bihadeh kunzehebid

00:17:32 --> 00:17:34

Din. Right? So you may know what the

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Din is, you may know what it needs

00:17:36 --> 00:17:38

to be done, but you have a problem

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

with your tedayun. You're not actually

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

practicing

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

that which you know to be right and

00:17:44 --> 00:17:45

know to be true.

00:17:46 --> 00:17:48

So the second one, nakum tamar luna be

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

melelatalamun.

00:17:49 --> 00:17:50

So you do the opposite.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:52

You practice and do with that which you

00:17:52 --> 00:17:54

do not know. In other words, not based

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

upon knowledge,

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

but based upon fun,

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

or it could be based upon check.

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

Right? It could be based upon just

00:18:05 --> 00:18:06

benefit of the doubt, or it could be

00:18:06 --> 00:18:08

based upon just pure doubt, or it can

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

be based upon waham, or it could be

00:18:10 --> 00:18:11

based upon,

00:18:11 --> 00:18:12

delusion.

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

So all of these things are a way

00:18:14 --> 00:18:16

of practicing that are not based upon knowledge.

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

But the way to do it right,

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

practice that which you know to be right

00:18:20 --> 00:18:21

and to be true,

00:18:21 --> 00:18:22

to be Haqq.

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

The third,

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

that you do not learn that which you

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

don't know.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

And then you remain ignorant. So you know

00:18:36 --> 00:18:38

there are things that need to be learned,

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

but you don't know them. But you don't

00:18:41 --> 00:18:44

make your way towards learning those things. You

00:18:44 --> 00:18:46

don't try to create the opportunities where you

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

can learn those things. You don't make it

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

a priority. You don't take it seriously.

00:18:50 --> 00:18:51

And so then you remain

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

ignorant, then there's also no Deen there. There

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

might there's no knowledge of the Deen and

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

there's no practice of the Deen.

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

And then the last,

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

And then the 4th, you prevent the people

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

from learning

00:19:08 --> 00:19:10

that which they don't know. In other words,

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

that which they need to know. So you

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

don't spend

00:19:13 --> 00:19:15

effort to help them learn what they need

00:19:15 --> 00:19:16

to know, or you can prevent them.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:18

How does one prevent them? Does that mean

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

you've closed the mades, you closed the schools,

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

and

00:19:21 --> 00:19:24

you shut down the, you know, online classes,

00:19:24 --> 00:19:26

and then you prevent people from learning?

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

That's a very

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

outward drastic way, but there's other ways you

00:19:30 --> 00:19:33

prevent people. Your own actions can be Munafir.

00:19:33 --> 00:19:35

Your own actions can be offensive.

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

The way that you present the din to

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

people could make push them away and say,

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

I don't wanna learn that,

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

Because I see it as,

00:19:44 --> 00:19:46

offensive, and I see it as coarse, and

00:19:46 --> 00:19:47

I see it as very austere. I don't

00:19:47 --> 00:19:48

see it as inviting.

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

And the word Dawa means to invite. So

00:19:51 --> 00:19:53

when you invite someone to do something, you

00:19:53 --> 00:19:54

do it in a nice way, you present

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

it in a nice way, you don't do

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

it by kind of

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

verbally or

00:20:01 --> 00:20:03

emotionally or spiritually assaulting someone.

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

Right? By saying, oh, you have to be

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

in this particular way, and if this don't

00:20:07 --> 00:20:09

you don't do this and that, and, you

00:20:09 --> 00:20:11

know, in a judgmental and a sanctimonious

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

way. So

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

this is a fitna for people. So we

00:20:15 --> 00:20:16

have a problem

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

in the community,

00:20:17 --> 00:20:18

generally speaking,

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

that some people who are

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

affiliated with Islam, and they're Muslim,

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

but their actions

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

betray what the teachings of Islam are. And

00:20:30 --> 00:20:33

so they wind up pushing people away from

00:20:33 --> 00:20:34

Islam, even though outwardly

00:20:35 --> 00:20:36

they may have all the trappings of what

00:20:36 --> 00:20:38

a proper Muslim looks like. They may have

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

the right, you know, length of of robe

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

and the right right turban and

00:20:44 --> 00:20:45

or hat

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

and and you know, the right clothing and

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

they go and pray in the front line

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

of the Masjid and all those sorts of

00:20:50 --> 00:20:51

things. But

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

beyond that they don't have the proper inward,

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

discipline,

00:20:57 --> 00:20:58

that is really the

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

the most important thing about Islam.

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

So the outward acts

00:21:02 --> 00:21:04

are Sura, as we said, they are forms.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:05

And then those forms

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

have no value whatsoever,

00:21:08 --> 00:21:09

except

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

by

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

the one who is doing them to be

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

sincere, and then they'd be accepted. So if

00:21:14 --> 00:21:16

they're not accepted by Allah, then they're not

00:21:16 --> 00:21:18

sincere. And if they're not sincere, then they're

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

just

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

outward acts, and they don't have any value

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

of, you know, of their own. The only

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

way we assign value is when Allah assigns

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

value to them. Allah signs value to them

00:21:27 --> 00:21:29

by Allah accepting them. Allah only accept them

00:21:30 --> 00:21:31

if you are sincere in doing them. You

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

do it solely for Allah. That's an inward

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

act. So sincerity, Ikhlas,

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

is inward. It's not outward.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

So we have over emphasis on the outward

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

with

00:21:41 --> 00:21:42

a remissness and negligence

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

on perfecting the inward, and that's really that

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

was the project of Sidra grandfather Gilani in

00:21:49 --> 00:21:50

his time in the 6th century

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

and many many of the Ottoman after that,

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

that was a project of Mehmed Glazay, who

00:21:54 --> 00:21:55

lived just

00:21:55 --> 00:21:57

about half a century before him.

00:21:58 --> 00:21:59

That was a project of Zidane al Hasan

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

al Shevili, who lived a century after him.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:04

So we see successively that many of the

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

people,

00:22:06 --> 00:22:07

who renewed the deen, who are a type

00:22:07 --> 00:22:08

of mujed deen,

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

a type of renewers of faith based upon

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

the hadith of the prophet

00:22:12 --> 00:22:13

Muhammad that every 100 years or so

00:22:14 --> 00:22:16

Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will send someone, yujaddidim

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

nasiyo umaumuridimihim.

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

That they'll make tashdeed,

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

they will renew,

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

the matter of the deen. So it's not

00:22:24 --> 00:22:25

the deen that has to be reformed.

00:22:26 --> 00:22:28

Know, western academics will read that hadith and

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

then they, you know, they're,

00:22:31 --> 00:22:33

they're, what's the word for?

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

They fetishize or they,

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

you know, they are

00:22:38 --> 00:22:40

infatuated with this idea of reform in Islam.

00:22:41 --> 00:22:42

So all the books that they look for,

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

they have to make the person a reformist.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

If they're not a reformist, then they're not

00:22:46 --> 00:22:47

interesting to read about.

00:22:48 --> 00:22:51

And for them reform means like the dean

00:22:51 --> 00:22:52

was bad before, let's make a new dean.

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

Let's do it all over again, so to

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

speak.

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

But renewal and reform in our paradigm, in

00:22:57 --> 00:22:59

the true paradigm of Aruna, is

00:22:59 --> 00:23:01

renewing the accessibility

00:23:01 --> 00:23:03

and for the today you want to be

00:23:03 --> 00:23:04

Niousi.

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

For the people to practice their deen,

00:23:07 --> 00:23:08

to be renewed, the practice of the way

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

that their din is. So perhaps

00:23:10 --> 00:23:12

the way that it was taught a century

00:23:12 --> 00:23:14

before or even a generation before,

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

is not suitable,

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

not like completely unsuitable, but not suitable completely

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

or in the best way for the generations

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

to come. And we see this

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

throughout

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

the history

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

that

00:23:27 --> 00:23:29

before people learned in Masajid, in in Halat

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

al Zikr, in in the circles, and then

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

that was insufficient, and then they built Madaris,

00:23:33 --> 00:23:36

and then they built other institutions like, Zawiya

00:23:36 --> 00:23:37

and,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:39

Moqaf and and and things developed.

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

Because there had to be a renewal, even

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

even the

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

the scholar literature itself.

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

Before it was just mainly hadith,

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

but then there were,

00:23:50 --> 00:23:52

separate independent books of hadith that were written,

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

mimetic being the first, that he also included

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

Fata'wa and things like that. And then it

00:23:56 --> 00:23:58

went on for someone like Abu Hazl Mohasevi,

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

who started to write books about teskea,

00:24:02 --> 00:24:04

about purification of the soul that were merely

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

hadith. And so this sort of development went

00:24:07 --> 00:24:08

on, and this was the type of renewal.

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

The Deen wasn't changed.

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

They were still saying, O Allahu Akbar Rasool,

00:24:12 --> 00:24:13

and this is the Deen.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

But the manner in which by

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

they, presented it to people

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

changed somewhat and continues to change. Here we

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

are on this platform

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

where people over the world can can tune

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

in and listen, and certainly

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

that was even

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

available 20 years ago. So,

00:24:34 --> 00:24:36

but but the core of the teachings remain

00:24:36 --> 00:24:38

the same, but how we articulate them and

00:24:38 --> 00:24:39

present them may be

00:24:40 --> 00:24:42

different from one time to the next.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:48

So,

00:24:49 --> 00:24:51

just gonna read a few more

00:24:51 --> 00:24:53

excerpts in the remaining time.

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

So one of the things that he brings

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

up here,

00:24:58 --> 00:25:01

that he doesn't say explicitly, but is kind

00:25:01 --> 00:25:02

of said implicitly,

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

which is a few pages later,

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

is

00:25:06 --> 00:25:07

what are some of the sifet? What are

00:25:07 --> 00:25:08

some of the attributes

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

of the daida? What are the attributes of

00:25:11 --> 00:25:14

a person who's going to function as

00:25:14 --> 00:25:16

the one who is a caller to Allah,

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

the one who is going to bring people

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

to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. That he's going

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

to or she's going to

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

teach Islam and how to present it and

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

so forth.

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

And usually,

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

you know, if you look at the

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

standard,

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

advertisements for imam of a mosque or something

00:25:32 --> 00:25:33

like that, or imam of a community,

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

it has, has a lokoral memorized, and can

00:25:37 --> 00:25:38

speak 1 or 2 languages,

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

and knows fiqh very well,

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

and, able to lead Tarawiya.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

And kind of that's the standard,

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

litany.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:47

But here we

00:25:48 --> 00:25:51

find Seir Abdul Qadr al Gilani he says,

00:26:44 --> 00:26:46

So he said if Allah wants to get

00:26:46 --> 00:26:48

a servant of his,

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

right, he wants to prepare him for a

00:26:51 --> 00:26:53

certain matter that's an important one.

00:26:53 --> 00:26:54

First, yataalaklilma'ani

00:26:55 --> 00:26:55

laddus sur.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:59

That the connection is with the meanings and

00:26:59 --> 00:26:59

not just

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

the outward forms.

00:27:02 --> 00:27:03

And then if that's completed,

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

sahazuhrufid

00:27:05 --> 00:27:06

dunya wal echra.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:08

Then they will have a valid zuhud,

00:27:09 --> 00:27:10

right? Or

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

lack

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

of great concern

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

with neither the dunya or the ekhirah actually,

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

except Masih and Mawla. So only with Allah

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

subhanahu wa ta'ala is the connection.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

Then if that is the way he is,

00:27:23 --> 00:27:25

tajeehoo saha, then he will be

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

physically and spiritually, inshaAllah, healthy. Najeehwalmulk

00:27:31 --> 00:27:32

Then Allah

00:27:33 --> 00:27:35

will see this person as a valid steward

00:27:35 --> 00:27:36

for

00:27:37 --> 00:27:38

people on earth, and then they will have

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

the mulk, and they'll have the sultana, and

00:27:40 --> 00:27:41

the imara, different words for leadership.

00:27:43 --> 00:27:45

It will be that his particle of dust

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

will become a mountain,

00:27:47 --> 00:27:48

and a drop of water will become a

00:27:48 --> 00:27:49

sea,

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

and,

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

a mere comet will become a

00:27:53 --> 00:27:53

moon,

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

and the moon will become the sun, and

00:27:56 --> 00:27:57

that which is little becomes

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

much, and that which is Mahu, right, which

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

is erasure, becomes existence.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:04

And then his Fana, his annihilation,

00:28:05 --> 00:28:07

annihilation becomes Baqa, becomes

00:28:07 --> 00:28:10

everlasting less, or remaining with God. And then

00:28:10 --> 00:28:11

his the haloq,

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

then his movement will become sabbet, will become

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

a surety and firmness.

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

And so this tree of this person will

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

grow

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

and reach up to the harsh of rahmen

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

wa asluhaylatharah.

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

Right? And then

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

its branches are dunya and ekhira, and it

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

could reach as high as

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

it's planted firmly in the ground, and it

00:28:36 --> 00:28:37

reaches as high as the hash.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:41

So it says, mehadid al axaim. What are

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

the branches of this type of knowledge, this

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

type of person?

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

Al hukmulalain.

00:28:46 --> 00:28:47

Right? So

00:28:47 --> 00:28:49

understanding the hukm, the decree of Allah

00:28:49 --> 00:28:50

and knowledge.

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

Then the dunya

00:28:53 --> 00:28:54

will be something that is

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

not something that possesses him, but rather he

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

possesses.

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

Nor is he confined to just thinking about

00:29:01 --> 00:29:02

the delights of the

00:29:03 --> 00:29:04

ekhir.

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

He will not be owned

00:29:08 --> 00:29:10

neither by a king or by a servant.

00:29:11 --> 00:29:12

Walayaha jubuuhajid,

00:29:13 --> 00:29:13

nor he will

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

be stopped by a Hajjid, nor there will

00:29:16 --> 00:29:17

be a doorman to stop him from coming

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

where he needs to go. He will not

00:29:19 --> 00:29:20

be veiled by a veil, even the longer

00:29:20 --> 00:29:21

you read it.

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

No one can take him and nothing can

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

upset

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

their internal fortitude with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:29:31 --> 00:29:33

Their their mood will not be, or their

00:29:33 --> 00:29:35

spiritual mood will not be spoiled.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:37

Fa'idha tammahadha.

00:29:38 --> 00:29:39

Right? This is the important part. So if

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

this is completed,

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

salaha hasal abd liwukufi malkhak,

00:29:44 --> 00:29:45

Then this person

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

is ready to stand with creation,

00:29:47 --> 00:29:48

to be with creation.

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

Wal akhlum edihim, watakhniziminbahrdunya.

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

And then take them by the hand

00:29:55 --> 00:29:56

and save them from the,

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

the daunting sea of the dunya.

00:30:14 --> 00:30:15

So if Allah wants all of these things,

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

he will be their Dalit, he will be

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

their guide, he will be their spiritual doctor,

00:30:19 --> 00:30:20

he will be their

00:30:21 --> 00:30:23

he will be their he will be their

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

spiritual trainer, he will be their total man,

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

right, which is their translator. In other words,

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

help them translate their own thoughts

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

and how to understand the relationship with Allah

00:30:32 --> 00:30:34

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. He will be their Siraj,

00:30:34 --> 00:30:36

he will be their Shams, he will be

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

their son, he will be their light, all

00:30:38 --> 00:30:39

of those things.

00:30:41 --> 00:30:42

There he can. If Allah wants that from

00:30:42 --> 00:30:44

his servant, then he will be that.

00:30:47 --> 00:30:49

But there are some of the servants who

00:30:49 --> 00:30:50

have all of the attributes above, and Allah

00:30:50 --> 00:30:52

doesn't desire that for them. So what does

00:30:52 --> 00:30:53

he do?

00:30:53 --> 00:30:57

Hajabahu aindahu, He veils them from creation,

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

and he makes them absent from

00:31:02 --> 00:31:03

the vision of others.

00:31:04 --> 00:31:05

And that's also a type of wali. So

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

he's describing

00:31:07 --> 00:31:09

awliya Allah. So there's 2 types at least.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:11

1, that Allah puts forward to be the

00:31:11 --> 00:31:14

Dalil, to be the guide, the helper for

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

people, which is the mission of the Prophets

00:31:15 --> 00:31:16

and Messengers,

00:31:17 --> 00:31:17

and the other

00:31:18 --> 00:31:20

stays with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

who is also helping the Ummah, but we

00:31:23 --> 00:31:24

say he's helping the Ummah Filbatim.

00:31:25 --> 00:31:27

So the yani from

00:31:27 --> 00:31:29

what's hidden from people. So they help them

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

with their du'a, with their supplication,

00:31:32 --> 00:31:34

with their with their himna, with their concern

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

for the ummah. These people are there, people

00:31:36 --> 00:31:37

don't know who they are,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:40

but they are there and they are indispensable.

00:31:40 --> 00:31:42

Just as indispensable as the ones who are

00:31:42 --> 00:31:43

outward and

00:31:44 --> 00:31:45

speaking and guiding and teaching

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

and so forth.

00:31:59 --> 00:32:01

So he said, yes, some of those they're

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

a fraud, they're not many, but Allah will

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

protect them

00:32:05 --> 00:32:07

and he will take them back to the

00:32:07 --> 00:32:09

Khalk, he will take them back to the

00:32:09 --> 00:32:09

creation.

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

Right? With complete preservation

00:32:13 --> 00:32:15

was salam and safety.

00:32:16 --> 00:32:18

These people then are the true guides.

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

So

00:32:25 --> 00:32:28

how does one know that? How does one

00:32:28 --> 00:32:30

get to that? Which he doesn't really

00:32:30 --> 00:32:33

explicitly outline here, but one of the things

00:32:33 --> 00:32:34

we could say is,

00:32:37 --> 00:32:39

when one's actions are in conformity with that

00:32:39 --> 00:32:42

which the prophet has come to teach, and

00:32:42 --> 00:32:44

it's not their ego and their appetite that's

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

leading them around, even in matters of the

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

faith, even in matters of the deen. So

00:32:48 --> 00:32:51

they're not looking for popularity, they're not looking

00:32:51 --> 00:32:53

for having a following, they're not concerned with

00:32:53 --> 00:32:55

who praises them or who doesn't praise them,

00:32:55 --> 00:32:57

or who showed up or who didn't show

00:32:57 --> 00:32:59

up, and all these sorts of things. Then,

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

in other words, they have

00:33:02 --> 00:33:03

been able to suppress

00:33:04 --> 00:33:04

those,

00:33:06 --> 00:33:08

features of appetite that all of us possess

00:33:09 --> 00:33:10

to the degree or at the very least,

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

they know one is speaking to them, and

00:33:12 --> 00:33:13

now they can listen to,

00:33:14 --> 00:33:15

you know, the angelic

00:33:16 --> 00:33:19

khatira, the angelic thought and the rabani thought

00:33:19 --> 00:33:21

and the the inham that comes directly from

00:33:21 --> 00:33:23

Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la. So they feel that

00:33:23 --> 00:33:25

all of their actions then are Mulham.

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

All of their acts then are inspired by

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

Allah for them to do. And if they

00:33:29 --> 00:33:32

don't feel inspiration about something, yata waqafoon.

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

If If they don't feel inspired that this

00:33:34 --> 00:33:35

is the right thing to do, then they

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

they pause. They wait. Much in the same

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

way that the prophet, as far as salam,

00:33:39 --> 00:33:41

wouldn't do something until the Wahi came. And

00:33:41 --> 00:33:43

if he was waiting for the wahi, then

00:33:43 --> 00:33:44

he would have tawakkuf.

00:33:45 --> 00:33:45

So

00:33:46 --> 00:33:47

they are people who operate in in the

00:33:47 --> 00:33:50

similar manner. They don't receive wahi. They don't

00:33:50 --> 00:33:51

see direct revelation like,

00:33:52 --> 00:33:53

the prophet

00:33:53 --> 00:33:54

did,

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

but they can receive

00:33:56 --> 00:33:58

Ilham, they can receive inspiration.

00:33:58 --> 00:34:00

So if they're inside Mulham,

00:34:00 --> 00:34:02

and they've reached the level of nafsululhamah,

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

they've reached the level of the soul that's

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

inspired,

00:34:06 --> 00:34:08

then inshallah all of their acts are inspired.

00:34:08 --> 00:34:10

Are they masum? Are they infallible? No, not

00:34:10 --> 00:34:11

that they're infallible.

00:34:11 --> 00:34:13

They're what we call Mahfuth, which is what

00:34:13 --> 00:34:16

Sirab Khaled Jilani said here. So he protects

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

them with his hiv, man hivdul kulli. Right?

00:34:20 --> 00:34:23

So hivd means protection, and salama means to

00:34:23 --> 00:34:25

be safe from harm and safe from error.

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

But that doesn't mean they can't make a

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

mistake, it doesn't mean that they can't do

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

something that is harmful,

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

but Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is the one

00:34:32 --> 00:34:33

who protects them from from doing such things,

00:34:33 --> 00:34:36

and then they look to Allah to continue

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

protect doing them. And then when they do

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

make a mistake,

00:34:39 --> 00:34:41

then they are not Musirah and Masiyyah. They

00:34:41 --> 00:34:43

are not people who,

00:34:44 --> 00:34:45

who,

00:34:46 --> 00:34:46

who continue

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

to do it, but they realize their mistake

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

and they return to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:34:51 --> 00:34:53

So the idea is not just I never

00:34:53 --> 00:34:55

make mistakes, but the idea is when I

00:34:55 --> 00:34:56

do make a mistake, do I realize it,

00:34:56 --> 00:34:58

and do I try to fix it, and

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

do I try to make amends not just

00:35:00 --> 00:35:01

to if anyone was affected, but also make

00:35:01 --> 00:35:03

amends more importantly

00:35:03 --> 00:35:05

to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So

00:35:09 --> 00:35:12

I think I'll just finish off with one

00:35:12 --> 00:35:13

last

00:35:14 --> 00:35:15

part here.

00:35:19 --> 00:35:20

It says

00:35:22 --> 00:35:23

the

00:35:26 --> 00:35:27

last paragraph.

00:35:27 --> 00:35:30

So the ones who truly have kashya,

00:35:30 --> 00:35:32

have this god awareness of Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:35:32 --> 00:35:34

Ta'ala from his servants are the 'alameh.

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

Who are the 'alameh? The 'alameh and 'umma'l,

00:35:37 --> 00:35:39

Bilayim, those type of 'alameh.

00:35:39 --> 00:35:41

The ones who are knowledgeable, but they practice

00:35:42 --> 00:35:44

their knowledge. They practice what they know.

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

So he said these are the people who

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

do not seek from the Haqq, from Allah

00:36:23 --> 00:36:24

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala,

00:36:24 --> 00:36:25

recompense,

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

reward for that which they do,

00:36:27 --> 00:36:29

rather they seek and they desire

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

his countenance and his closeness, and they seek

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

God

00:36:33 --> 00:36:35

and they seek his love, his Mahaba, wal

00:36:35 --> 00:36:37

Khalas, minbodhi wa hijabi,

00:36:37 --> 00:36:39

And to be saved and free and find

00:36:39 --> 00:36:42

salvation from his bod and from his hijab.

00:36:42 --> 00:36:45

So from being far away from Allah Subhanahu

00:36:45 --> 00:36:46

wa Ta'ala in a spiritual sense and to

00:36:46 --> 00:36:48

be veiled from God, God. That's the main

00:36:48 --> 00:36:48

thing.

00:36:49 --> 00:36:50

And they don't want any doors to be

00:36:50 --> 00:36:52

closed before them. Neither in the dunya nor

00:36:52 --> 00:36:53

the

00:36:53 --> 00:36:55

but they're not interested in the dunya and

00:36:55 --> 00:36:57

they're not even interested in the

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

but they're only interested in Allah. So he

00:37:00 --> 00:37:02

says the dunya are for some. And

00:37:03 --> 00:37:05

the is for some. In other words people

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

receive the

00:37:06 --> 00:37:07

and then Allah

00:37:08 --> 00:37:10

is for some. So the people who seek

00:37:10 --> 00:37:11

dunya, there are people who seek and there

00:37:11 --> 00:37:13

are people who only seek

00:37:13 --> 00:37:14

Allah.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:16

So may Allah make us of those people

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

who seek Allah

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

for his sake and for no other's sake,

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

and he has the power to do that.
