mean, a lot of a sudden he was selling robotic arm a bushing I
mean,
so you didn't have even a quarter to
go little over 100 in Russia wasn't even
what say they wanted either one of us. Mohammed Abdullah, while early
was hobby he was where he was at he
had he stayed in the vicinity even to hedge and a hedge of all money
only Dean Tanaka and Mahajan before they know her can hurt her
learning is one her in her like that.
So just as the month of Ramadan, plus that month of Ramadan is
winding down, and we are in our last two days or so or less. We're
also winding down with our reading of former Bernie one fatal many,
you see the other father, while he Dean, energy learning Radovan.
And we have reached the 59th discourse out of 62.
And as we have seen, from throughout our readings, several
themes have emerged from these discourses, the chef emphasizes
the importance of inner fortitude and inner light
and
that has a key to the illumination of the limbs.
And so, the inner then is a key to the outer and without that, the
outer then just becomes an empty shell, not the lobe, as he has
mentioned many many times and when the inner then or the vaulting
is not rectified is not music is not purified, then we will see all
of these
infractions, all of these
transgressions that appear from the outer, and the key
to rectification of this is the elimination of the inner. So
how does one go about doing that? Well, the shift mentioned a few
things. Amongst them is, as we saw in the last session, the vicar of
Allah subhanaw taala, the remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala and that even when we are remembering and Waspinator that we
should remember Allah for Allah by Allah with Allah. And when we ask,
we should ask that to fulfill our personal requests, right entreat
Allah subhanaw taala like our sort of personal
wishing well or ATM, but rather as a manifestation of our Wudi and
manifestation of our
servitude towards us, then it becomes more like that. Then it
becomes the fountainhead
worship to supplicate in this particular way.
So we're going to go to the 59th discourse and read some of the
excellent excerpts from it that we have selected. We're getting from
the top a whole share my dean of the College millennial
Rahimullah,
collab, apply my looming Raja Muda Hana, name COVID Hakka Kolkata
Mukesh run fairies on the loop Buffy Surah de la mana, Tamil
falgu Tama in the whole of time I
could the fairies talk with me more line here about Allah azza wa
jal StuCo Wakanda Flato Sadako in Metro Metro Gu, the FSC rule. So
to call in Allah azza wa jal has already been Imani is one of the
candy Amerine aka who can
then say, Boo.
Boo, said cidco Welcome to Coney workers EVO comm circuit 20
authority matters to motor vehicle.
So as an introduction, it says, the speech of one who is greedy
with ambition.
That's one way to to translate a Toba
I've seen also translated as to covet something covetousness
It is, it is a type of greed of to be ambitious, not in the positive
sense, I think that many of us tend to think of it today and to
be ambitious and to try to achieve things, but to cover that which
others possess. So it's a type of greed or ambition or covetousness,
to seek out what others possess and want it for yourself.
Because you think you are entitled to it, I would also have said the
speech of someone like this is not free from confusion, and
dissimulation.
He is incapable of presenting the truth. His speech is an empty
shell with no kernel loop inside it, just outer form with no inner
content. One who is greedily ambitious, dharma is empty, like
greedy ambition, Tama itself, and here is talking from the mystic
sense because all of the consonant letters in Arabic word thumb are
empty that the mean and the mean. So they all have little thought, I
mean, I have little circles in them. So this is what he means by
the emptiness story, the, the comparison to the actual letters
of the Arabic letters themselves.
He says, all servants of Allah be truthful, and you will prosper.
The aspiration of the truthful person, the sodic.
Rise is sky high, he is not badly affected by anything, anyone may
say, Allah is in control of his affairs, if he wants him for some
business, he will make him ready for it, he will prepare him for
it. i Yeah, we know, this is another theme that we saw also, if
you are covetous of something that someone else possesses, well, if
you are meant for that thing Allah is going to put you in that
direction prepare you for it's
something that was said or some bad manners, and this is the
response to it, the honesty of your spiritual states will induce
me to speak, while dishonesty will make me fall silent. To the extent
that you will buy I am selling right here the chef is speaking
about Himself. And that also knowledge transmission, whether it
be from and we've talked about the three modes more or less in the
tradition of knowledge transmission, whether it be
written transmission, or whether it be oral transmission Shaeffer,
like speaking or other, or whether it be oral with a you are a from
the aura. So this is the transmission of spiritual states,
the transmission of wealth, and all three, for the recipient
state, you know, the state of the recipient, the one who's going to
receive the knowledge is just as important, if not more important,
than the state of the one who is transmitting it. So, if the one
who is receiving is not in
a state of a standard right a state of ready to receive that,
then it will just come and it will not really resonate, it will kind
of just bounce off and also if the one who is transmitting senses
with him, the one who's receiving is not quite ready for it like a
shift is saying here, you will fall silent. And sometimes the
transmission itself can be in the silence as well we should not lose
sight of that or how many of the times I can only speak for myself
personally that I see from the silence of my teachers and in
certain situations. So, we know that choosing to remain silent,
alright which in Arabic is called a salt.
It is actually one of the four foundations of
spirituality or of Sudak finding a path towards the last panel as
articulated by many of the ornament including
Shakalaka, marketing and lobby and we last year we did a series in a
normal lawn during Ramadan about these four particular things. So,
some silence is one of them. Juha are choosing to refrain from food
is one of them, and always, which is choosing to refrain from people
is one of them. And then the fourth one choosing to refrain
from sleep. In other words, dedicating one's time to Allah
subhanaw taala and not just seeking our creature comforts. So,
they said, he called the these the, the pinnacles or the
foundations of debt, right and he said that up there is
one of the types of LDS. So some then also to choose to remain
silent, not just mere support. So what is to be just silent,
not enhanced, which is to be compelled to be silent, but
subject and intention to be
silent, then that means that in this situation, the wise thing to
do is to remain silent. And as we said there's a silence and we've
talked about this and those are interested you'll find them on
this channel, the one who
remain silent could be a silence of speech but it can also be a
silence of state of silence and part. And in the modern world, the
emphasis is often upon Holika movement, activism, do something,
don't just stand there, do something, right that's, that's
kind of
the echoing of the modern sentiment that always there has to
be this
you know, call to action. Don't just let things happen, so forth.
But we find with the spiritual masters like if my thought is
secondary, he will say something like that is the one
when he wakes up, or she wakes up says, What will allow to do with
me, and then the,
the impetuous one will be the one who when they wake up, say what
will I do today?
And for the the uninitiated, or for those who are not familiar
with the spiritual sciences, though, they'll read something
like that and say, Oh, that sounds very fatalistic. You know, all
these Sufis and spiritual Muslims, all they care about is themselves
and they just let the world go to * and they don't really care
how things are going. And they're just kind of into their own
personal worship and they want to go hide in the cave and be
isolated from everybody and just let the world disintegrate before
the very eyes and nothing could be further from the truth.
They are active, but active when, as the sheikh says one of the
things that we saw, when they feel that Allah has prepared them
properly, and then they are active with that was their knifes, that
was there, however, now with their personal inclination, but by the
will and by detail field, by the
impetus coming from only Allah subhanaw taala. And then that
activism will have will be that much more effective. And we see
that also in terms of speech. So someone who was merely charismatic
and canned, you know, mesmerize people with their speech and even
the promise RSM says wisdom and Daniel are several from the band
from the eloquence is a type of magic. Yes. But can that truly
penetrate the heart, much of speech today, it's not penetrating
the heart that what people talk about. But it's appealing to the
lowest common denominator of humanity, namely, the neffs in
force.
You know, the rise of genres like erotica and,
you know, the sensual aspects of our speech is what people that's
where you find the most people interested in the most followers
and those who are listening in and want to hear more about it.
Because it's appearing to the lowest common denominator. But
that's each COVID Hack, we'll call the third bit right, whole help
coming from the hub from Allah subhanaw taala, via the conduits
that he chooses from his earlier, we call the Sabbath. And that
which is for that which is on firm ground, that which is rooted
is not as appealing, because it doesn't appeal to the neffs. In
fact, the nephew is offended by the nurse wants to run away from
it. Because it kind of reminds him of where it's at, and what it has
to do. And, you know, the neffs, you can think of it as this
spoiled little child that only wants what it wants, and it
doesn't want to have discipline and doesn't want to sacrifice and
it doesn't want to,
you know, to change its ways. So
this is the kind of the parable of the neffs of the parable of the
spirit of the roar of that which is the best part of humanity. No,
it seeks that which is beautiful, it seeks that which is good. It
seeks that which is right. It sees that which is true.
Whatever other unforeseen. We were commanded by Allah subhanaw taala,
to seek the truth, and to say the truth, even if it is against
ourselves, right, because the principle of truth, the principle
of heart takes precedence over our personal comfort and our personal
inclinations. And this is the theme that the show has been
stressing throughout. So it's one thing to kind of say, I don't do
that I don't follow my personal inclinations, but then your
actions betray that sentiment, because your heart is not in a
place where you can actually do that.
So this course of the shift, then is to say, get it right in here.
And you will find that, you know, your actions, then will will
confirm that sentiment and, you know, confirm it in a way without
you even being perhaps aware of it, right because now you've
definitely enough sick, right, you're in a state of fear that
you're in a state of
exclusion of seeing yourself, right and of being cognizant of
the acts that you do so that you may attach merit to it and then be
affiliated with it and then
by entering a state of origin, but right into a state of being
contented, and self deluded with the things that you do, but
rather, if you see it
as the act of God, then it's a whole different thing. And this is
what I thought it's a kind of insult the HECM also mentioned,
the Zohar is a mother who uncovered
with the phone is a mother who fairy who, the head, those who are
actively renouncing the dunya and say, No, I don't want to I don't
want this stuff for law, I'm staying away from this. I'm living
a minimalist lifestyle. And they're aware that they're doing
that. So when they are praised, then this causes them in kebab
clubs, right cause them to feel constricted, because they feel
like oh, they're talking about me, I don't want any me in that
equation.
Whereas when there is no me to begin with, so when they hear
mother, or they're complimented about something, or they're
praised about something, they don't attach the praise to
themselves, they see that it's actually the praise of Allah,
Allah is being praised. And the one who was doing the praising is
also along with that, and because of that, in the form
of hug cochlea will help. The creation then is the depends of
the hub. So the one doing the praising is God and the one
receiving the praises card. So it's Allah praising himself. And
really the whole universe, that's what if you have to put it in a
single phrase, it's a law of praising himself. That's what the
universe is. And those who
can see that, then they become witnesses to that. That's why we
call it Moshe had witnessing terrible luck, and nichetto. So if
you see Allah, that means you really don't see anything else.
Right? That means you become funny, you become oblivious to
anything else.
And there's two types, two ways of being oblivious. There's actually
the oblivious that they're called Hallett infinite, which is to be
completely not even
aware of others around you. And sometimes this can lead to a
situation of a type of very
intense spiritual state. And a person who remains in this
particular state can't really be an example for others, because
they're not in a position to lead. And then the other type of
financial, how are your Google Cloud? Google Cloud, that means
Mukluk comes afterward. That means no, you, you are aware, but at the
same time, your heart is only attached with the last Pentagon,
and it's called the cloud and then Nikita Tara bought a share before
you see the existence of things by the existence of God. Whereas in
the first date, you don't see the existence of things, you only see
the existence of Allah. And that's the only true existence which is
true in both states. But in the second one in the clock, and this
MACOM, then you see the existence of Allah, and you see the
existence of other things by the existence of a lot and not as
independent. And this is the command right now the XML, this is
more complete.
So
and, you know, I don't need to talk about that too much. I want
people to get too caught up with Iran and enamored with it, and
what does that mean? And how do we get to that, and we, we practice
the team, that's what we want to do. And if Allah subhanaw taala,
that the great masters have spoken about things like this, and some
of them have talked about their experiences, and if a lot of bills
or something like that, then you say,
and if he does not, and some people may be in their whole life
will never feel a state like that. And that's okay, too. Sometimes
the last one will give you the state even right in the moment
before death, because that's what has been written for you. And some
will, will certainly achieve it by in the afterlife. So
everyone has their mercy, as as the sheriff says no one's going to
take the exam of somebody else was going to take the allotment or
somebody else that which is going to be allotted to you is coming to
you whether you desire it or not, and that which is never meant to
come to you. It's not going to come to you whether you desire it
or not.
So
let's
move on
so we're going to move down a little bit
so we talked a little bit about love and divine love in the
section down here.
And it begins with diverse Kalasa Gen. Magi out of love and those
are the in the middle, any fijo fake

quality job in La Playa de la order, who are you when you are
new?
So let's
move to that.
PAGE 379. For those who are following, as Allah has said,
Allah has not assigned to any man two hearts within his body. And
that's the nature of the spiritual heart.
Yes, there's a connection between the physical cardiac heart and the
spiritual heart and that it's, you know, the heart is a single organ.
You have two lungs, you have two kidneys.
You have two years, you have two eyes. So many of the things of our
organs come in pairs with the heart, certainly not
the heart, then it's supposed to
be in tune towards the last panel of the harness. So you can't
actually have this bifurcation of the spiritual heart words looking
this way. It's looking that way at the same time. Hence, the word
cloud means at the club, right? So the follow up means going back and
forth, because most hearts are back and forth. And so that's what
gives the club its name, but also what gives it its anxiety. And
it's where it's worry, and it's trepidation. Right? So the desired
state is a stillness of the heart and the stillness, the spiritual
stillness of the heart can only be achieved via a singular focus upon
Allah subhanaw taala. So there's no such thing really as multi
modal multitasking or multi focusing with the heart. So you
have a singular focus. And out of that singular focus, all of these
fruits can come about certainly, as the Shrek describes here. So he
says, a heart that loves both the creator and creatures is unsound.
And a heart that contains both this world and the Hereafter is
unsound. If the heart belongs to the Creator, and the face is
turned toward creatures, this is permissible.
What is the mean by that? So means inside, it's only about Allah
subhanaw taala. But part of your etiquette part of your other is
you are still amongst the halal, right. Look at the character of
the province. Excellent, their immigration, right, we're looking
forward and then are there.
So the English means he is smiling and he is with a hug, and
presenting them with
ease and facilitation, but inside it, then not sadness, but
contemplation,
penetrative, deep, profound connection to Allah subhanaw
taala. And someone who was in that state internally, can also have
that same deep, penetrative, profound connection with people.
It just won't work. It was that because they're opposites. Hulk is
funny. creatures are temporary, and creatures are fickle. And
creatures can never be pleased. And they only see a certain side
of you. And they only see the side of you that a law allows them to
see if a law allows him to see the good side of you and he makes
setter, right and he conceals the bad side of you then don't like
you.
And if Allah chooses to do the opposite, if they see the bad side
of you, and Allah conceals the good side of you, then they won't
like you. But that doesn't change your place with the last panel
Tada. So it'll clear now, right to be contented with Allah's
knowledge of you. So you cannot be contented with Allah's knowledge
of you and with people's knowledge of you at the same time because
they're so different. They're mutually exclusive. They can't be
at the same time.
So that's why I said
if the faces turn to our creatures and ledger yeah to your outward,
but what is the reason? As you mentioned here, he said this is
permissible is permissible to direct one's attention to our
creatures, in order to look after their best interests. How
Have compassion for them, because you love Allah subhanaw taala. And
that's what Allah does for them. And so you want your heart to be
with the one that you are focused on, and one that you love living
your last battle God, and this is how he sees his creatures. And so
you should also see them with this divine prison, right, have
compassion and looking out for the best interest and not wanting to
see any harm come to them. And if you're in a position to bring them
to Allah subhanaw taala, and bring them to a greater understanding of
the deen, then that's what Allah subhanaw taala has set up for you
if those meanings are in your heart. But if your approach to
them is
internally that is that I want to bring them down, and I have to
show that I'm better than they are. And it gives me sort of
solace in my heart knowing that I'm a little bit better than they
are. And I have more than that what they have, these are all
maladies of the heart, right? And those malaise of the heart are a
direct result of your connection to offene. Right, your connection
to that which is temporal and not permanent, and not lasting, and
not everlasting. But if your connection is to the everlasting,
god, look right to Allah Subhana Allah and not to creatures, then
you know the fickleness of, of creation is not going to, it's not
going to change your state, it's not going to get you down. And
you know, this is what Cyril talked about in solitary clan, he
said one of the five soul is
to not be concerned to be indifferent to the Huck Finn to
bail will it evolve? So when they have to bail upon you, whether
they're approaching you and like you, they want you to, you know,
do these things for them and interested in you, or a developer?
As long as they turn their backs on you and they're not interested
in you? That's not important thing. The boring thing is, where
are you with the last one with Allah and then where's the last
one time it with you?
So then he says, one who was in ignorance of almost forgot it may
put on a show, and actually critically, the one who has
knowledge of Him, it will be he will not behave like this stupid
fool may disobey Allah, but the intelligent person will obey him.
No one was eager to amass worldly things may put on a show, and
behave hypocritically. But one who has few expectations will not act
in this fashion. The believer then the movement draws close to Allah
subhanaw taala by performing the obligatory religious duties to
follow it
and shows his love for Him through supererogatory acts of devotion or
no effing Allah subhanaw taala is has some servants from whom there
is no such thing as supererogatory devotions. This was the state of
the Sahaba the Sahaba, especially Qivana Sahaba. Right, the senior
Sahaba like Abu Bakr and Omar was Manwani will tell how was the
Baron? Was it new Jabba who sadhana we were close, and many
others we've seen in the villa liberal bar. They didn't say, oh,
yeah, sort of like this father is sort of, like, Can we skip it or
not skip it, whatever they saw the prophets I seldom do they would
do. And for many of them that even included the mannerisms and the
things that he liked to eat and a symptomatic said, I used to see
the prophesy that said, I'm sorry about that Tibet, the gourd, like
a type of squash in the stew. And so I did the same thing, right,
because it seemed like he liked it. So I liked it as well. They
remarked that I've lived with the hermit
when he would be going to Hajj he would be on his mountain, he went
off to a little, small hilly place came back and and they said, Why
did you go over there and come back this way? And he said, I
don't have a reason except that I saw the prophesy send and do the
same thing. When I was went to Hajj with him, and he did that and
it came this way. You know, this was their, their love for the
province are settling. So even what we thought would be a high
debt, or just habitual things that the province has said and did,
they turned into a bad debt. So if you follow with the intention,
that I'm doing it because the province is doing it or did it,
then it becomes a balance that we've just had. And so that means
also the no FL the things that are supererogatory or optional,
sometimes we call them are voluntary, as we call them, for
them they see them as the same as the follow it like how can I not
do it? If I have the opportunity and I have the time and so forth.
So notice, he said has some servants from there's no such
thing as supererogatory devotions not all of them some some will
feel that you know, that before they discharged the obligatory
duties and performed those that are strictly speaking
supererogatory saying these are our block obligatory dudes for us
by virtue of the fact that we are capable of doing them
that we should be preoccupied with worshipful service a bear that
always in forever is
compulsory for us,
they do not consider any act
of devotion of supererogatory as far as the they themselves are
concerned. And obviously this is also a certain person who has the
time and the for all right the the absence of other things to keep
them busy or other responsibilities to do that. And
in pre modern Islam I think the OMA there are quite a number of
people who are like that.
You had such people during the days of the province, I said also
as a sofa, right, the people of the bench, who had no home had no
vote and had really no occupation except to be with the Prophet SAW
Selim and emulate him and learn from him. And record everything
that he said amongst us, because
who was the most prolific Hadith narrator and he had no occupation
except to sit with a province Arsalan and also sit with the
senior companions, and record everything that he could, that
they knew about the province. And so that was something considered
vital and important. In
in the early days of Dolman, certainly probably up until
modernity, kind of beset us some 200 300 years ago.
But nowadays, people just see that as kind of waste of time and as
folly and to have people who are just dedicated to a bad and
seeking the best from Alon supplicating another's to have
certain that something that everybody should be doing, but
there was kind of a small minority
that would be doing that. And obviously, we had also these
endowments, we have this cough, that were kind of like this a way
similar to like, you know, a travel lodge people would be able
to go they're also out in Egypt. The people who used to more or
less reside in an ozone and just spend their life there they will
call that and we'll get we'll run.
And we'll do we will then they will Jaya where is the one who was
keeping company or staying close by to something. And some of the
historians like
McAleese and the blue Barak, both of them, one was doing the manual
cage one was during the Ottoman age, but they both made similar
remarks that the Mogera will do and and the blessing of Lazzara
and they said that it was the most pleasant place after after the
Holy sacred masajid of Mecca and Medina and Michel Ochsner, because
of the people who are learning and then people are studying and the
people are making the career and the people who are
dedicating their lives to the worship of Allah. So
maybe those are the people that he's talking about here.
He says, then the saints the Olia of Allah, have an awakened or to
awaken them and a teacher to teach them the load of truth and how
ClassDojo equips them with the means to acquire knowledge. As the
promisor sir has said even if the believer were to be on a mountain
peak, allow a provider with a teacher to teach him.
Do not borrow the words of the righteous decide your own and then
other than pretending that they are your own. The borrowing will
not be concealed. You must clothe yourself from what belongs to you,
not from something borrowed to plant the cotton with your own
hand, watering it with your own hand and cultivate it with your
own effort. Then weave it so it and wear it. Do not be happy with
someone else's property and someone else's clothes. If you
take another person's words and out of them pretending they are
your own, the hearts of the righteous will despise you. If you
have no deeds to show for yourself, you have nothing to say.
The crux of the whole matter is actual practice. As a lot smarter
Allah has said into the Garden of Paradise because of what he used
to do with Google Jannette Habima quantum Tamil
you must exert yourselves to obtain experience man if of the
lord of truth for his kept hidden with him and resides with his
Kadar, his destiny, his power, his Quadra and his knowledge is in it
is total annihilation. Orphanet as I've said, in his workings is a
file and his affairs. So what is he talking about here?
So,
if one is sincere enough, then the things that you seek and the means
by the things that we choose to seek them will be made available
to you by Allah subhanaw taala at a time and no matter
that is consistent with his
pre eternal knowledge of you. It will happen to have no doubt about
it.
just we don't know when we don't know how. But the important thing
is not to just sit around waiting, but it's to put yourself avail
yourself of the many blessings that can be found when you are in
a state of yearning, or when you want to call it.
Right? When you hear totally either, who is the one who will
answer the
publication of the, the yearning one
when he asks or when he supplicates. So you're yearning
means that you really, really are sincere about it and really wanted
and really realize that only the last one guy that can, can grant
it to you. And this is the most powerful type of dua, there are
certain states that put you in a very powerful position for your
dog to be answered. One of them is being an author. An author is one
who is yearning and the one who sees his Fanny.
Like this word we used again, is Fannie and speb. And is the one
who doesn't see the intermediate causes, he may avail himself or
she may avail himself of those intermediate clauses, as is the
etiquette and the comportment with Allah. But there is a finesse
about they don't see them as having any faculty of their own,
they're not the ones that are going to do it. Right, you're not
going to find OH, MY Nina, as we said the other day, you're not
going to find ease and solace with as many as intermediate causes
that you have around you. So if you're in the middle of the ocean,
and you have,
you know, a luxury yacht, with the full staff and the full complement
and navigational charts and GPS, and you're kind of in the middle
of Pacific somewhere, you feel like, okay, it's not that bad, but
we have everything that we need to get home. Or if you know, say
middle of the same Pacific, and you're on a
lifeboat raft that is losing air, and you see the sharks circling
around you. And then you feel more thought, then you feel like well,
I got nothing except to ask Allah. Well, that situation is no
different than the one who's in the yacht. Because also you have
nothing except Allah subhanaw taala. And so, the shift here, I
think, saying that
the saint that will yet have an awakening to awaken them, right
and Iran is one of the SIFAT of the LDS, this,
this constant sense of I only have a last minute, and I don't have
anything else. So then He equips them. And then he mentioned the
Hadith of the Prophet SAW.
And then he says something Christian, do not borrow the words
of the sleight of hand and then other pretending that they are
your own. In
Kutupalong, comb right, the books of the Sufi masters, they say that
the aim is not what you read in books, and then transmit after
that.
Technically, they don't consider that to be knowledge, knowledge
for them is that which you as he says, Here, you planted and
cultivated with your own effort, and then you, you You wove it with
your own effort, and you sold it and then you put it on and it's
yours. So it's about experiential knowledge, right? That's what
enemies are mad things that came through your spiritual
experiences, things that came through your a bad, right things
that came through your Tilawat for an Allah gives you some insight
about a verse or something, or Hadith, or there was a mesh head,
right, something that you saw or something that you were exposed
to, and then you had certain insights about it, then they call
that otherwise what he's talking about here is borrowed so it's not
of the Edit it's not adequate to say or to pretend that it's yours.
Right that you uttered it and that you came up with it and then not
ascribe it to the one who actually said it. Right so these are all
Chicago colors and and his words are not our words and we're just
reading them I'm trying to understand them
but you can see that these words are his right and when they're not
his he says
they as either salami because he'd said this or fillet the diet said
this or remember Junaid said this, but then if he doesn't say,
ascribe it to someone then you can rest assured it's his and it's
from his own understanding. And this is also another way of,
of transmission. And just as the words of the Quran and Sunnah are
applicable and are the transmission themselves of the
words of Allah and what Allah desires from us. The words of the
people who embody the Quran and Sunnah after that also carry some
weight. We're not going to say the same weight we're not going to say
that Chef apology and his words are the same as the prophets
words. Like we don't say that but we do say that if he's embodying
the meanings of the Quran and the Sunnah, and he's living them,
right and he's saying
He's soaked amazing by them and they kind of penetrate every fiber
of his being, then we can expect the things that he says, are going
to be true to the sentiment and the meanings and the objective of
the Quran and Sunnah. How do we know when they're not? When
colluded they violate the organism? Then we could say no.
Were there some of the Sufis who said something that seems very
contradictory to Quran and Sunnah certainly. And sometimes it was
described that way. But they say that the other with Alia, that we
tend to consider to be of this caliber, like CW cologix, Lani,
like my demon larvae and others is that their words are not to be
taken literally, that are to be taken away. Figuratively, because
when you are trying to put into words something that can only be
truly understood the experience, then it's going to come out in a
way that's going to be difficult to understand. That's why they say
a bother to Jeff. So the Ybarra trying to put into words
articulate something that you can only have experience it's going to
come out as dry and and not true to the meaning like imagine,
you tasted honey, the best honey, you know, like the honey from
where the the wind and Yemen. And you try to describe as
describe the taste to somebody who's never tasted honey in their
life. You can write paragraphs, go write a thesis statement about it,
about how it tastes, you're not going to be able to convey
properly exactly how that only tastes, the only way it's can can
be conveyed if that person, also that you're trying to convey the
message to taste some of that honey, then, if you write even in
poetic language, or let's say cipher, which is which was many of
the masters did, they wrote in a language that was almost like a
cipher, like you can't understand it, it can only be understood by
someone who's actually been there themselves. And so then when you
write it, that way, they know exactly what you're talking about,
because they've tasted it.
And that's why they say, so I'm originally a little bit of fun,
sometimes adult food, you can't feed it to a baby, you can't feed
it to the infant, because they'll get sick. And so in the same in
the same vein, some of the words of these masters who can't feed it
to everybody, because they're not quite ready for it.
To have an apology, and only for the most part, his discourses that
we can see are not like that they're actually meant for us fall
to they're meant for even the uninitiated and those who don't
even have, you know, kind of a strong commitment to Islam. And
that's why many, many people came in make Toba to him. Someone else
like the books of anatomy, are not like that. There for the most part
are not to be read, except by someone who
has kind of had a little bit of taste of that, or they're read
with someone who's had a taste of that and then can interpret the
words in a manner that at least can be appreciated, if not fully
understood and comprehended and actualized so
hamdulillah
so there's one last thing that like a very nice kind of story or
a little bit of time, but I just wanna read this excerpt to you.
On page 383,
beginning I believe.
Actually, let's start with the last paragraph from 32.
He says when apparently he's talking about udia right servitude
towards the last month or so he says what a person's server to
their booty and direct experience. Matica as we've just been talking
about are fully realized. He will say neither let me see or do not
let me see.
Neither give me nor do not give me he becomes non existent. Fanny
wholly absorbed. Mustafa. This is why one of those who have attained
to the station MACOM says, What do I care about me?
Well spoken indeed. Right? Because now they're even Fanny.
notic their own desires and what they want become non existent.
They don't even really have really desires except that what Allah
desires.
I am his slave, his Abdon the slave and his masters company has
neither choice nor will have his own.
A man once bought a slave from Luke back when there was in pre
modern world there was slavery. And that slave happened to be one
of the people of religion of the deen and was righteous and to sell
off.
Our slave The man said to him, What would you like to eat? His
owner?
He said, Whatever you give me to eat.
He said, What kind of clothes would you like to wear? He said,
Whatever you give me to where?
Where would you like to lodge in my house? whatever place you lodge
me. What jobs would you prefer to work at? Whatever you ordered me
to do? The man was the one who bought him
then burst into tears, as he said, What a blessing would be for me,
if I could be with my Lord, as you are with me.
Oh, my master said the slave does the servant opt in the company of
his master has said, have any will Your other choice if the all of
his own
than the master said to him, You are a free man, and for her for
the sake of Allah small time, so he emancipated him right at that
moment, and I would like you to stay with me.
So that I may serve you, with my person and my property.
So, the master became the slave. So the man who originally bought
that person, now he's serving the one that he bought, why because he
saw the idea. He had any chakra, and the signal to him was, this is
how I should be with Allah subhanaw taala. And this person
who was the slave was already that way with the last panel Tada. He
said, call us and find myself into servitude, then I will
serve the person that has my neck as it were, figuratively and serve
them in that manner. And then Allah elevated him and last Martha
elevated him and made him the master. And then the one that who
was the master then became the serpent. And this is how it works
with with Allah subhanaw taala and the hunter. If you make Allah's,
Montana, your master
and you're saying it and you're sovereign, then the hunk will be
at your surface and you will never be at you will never be
subservient to them. You may serve them but not subservient to them.
Serve them in that you're looking for their Malachite looking for
their interest. This is what the Arabs meant when they said say the
middle column hottie Mohan, the leader of the people is the one
who serves them right? Serve them of your own volition right serving
their interest, not subservient to them in Macomb. Right Allah will
elevate you and then the Hulk, you suffer an alcoholic right and then
the hope will be at your disposal.
Inshallah, two out of 100 the head of reality
