Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Allahumma
salli wa sallim wa barik ala mirboo Phaedra Alameen. So you
didn't know have you been a karateka union called hygine Masha
and we didn't even say the word the other model. Mohammed Abdullah
Al Hashimi al Quraishi while he was having one well, from
Ahmedabad so Hamdulillah, after a journey of a few years, I think we
are completing the HECM of city management didn't matter in the
secondary, or the Allahu Anhu.
That total 264 or so. So we began with the first one some years ago
when
Papadopoulos second secondary says
Minalima and artemether Allameh Loxone or rejet, unusual Zealand
from amongst the signs of dependence upon one's deeds is the
loss or diminishment of hope, upon a misstep.
And so with that hikma with that aphorism, or that wisdom, he
introduced to us this way, or this path that we can call the path of
the IDP and or the path of a Sadie keen, those who are journeying and
making their way towards a greater and more profound understanding
and practice of Islam. And perhaps, useful way to think about
it is we can worship Allah subhanaw taala, transactionally
and procedurally
and he our Islam becomes just kind of a set of acts of worship. So I
prayed this much I paid this much sicker I fasted these many days,
I've seen this many Ramadan's, I've made hydrogen Amara, this
times and often we hear Muslims kind of speak in, in this
particular sense.
And there's nothing intrinsically wrong with that.
But for some, Allah subhanaw taala is going to create within their
hearts, this yearning for something deeper and something
more and many of the islands that have referred to this as Alia kava
as an awakening,
and this awakening could be indicated by a sort of trepidation
or
fear that one is not living up to what they think they can live up
to. And it can also be indicated by a show, right or longing, based
upon love for something more than just us being kind of the set some
of ritual acts of worship. So this is the science of the skeleton. So
this is the discipline of purifying the soul and this is
sometimes also referred to by its formal name as the soul. So Sufism
or to solve is not any sort of ritual set of Acts, that's any
different from Islam.
It's not mentioning particular names and passing, it's not
wearing a particular dress. It's none of those things, but rather,
it is one endeavoring to live the essence of the teachings of
Mohammed salah, Salah. And so in the early period in the time of
the Sahaba, the Torah and the prophets are seldom was not
referred to us to solve but the meanings were you can make an
argument were always indicated in everything that the prophesy said
actually said, or anything that he did, because he did everything
with ESN. He did everything with moral excellence and with a look
towards pleasing Allah subhanaw, Taala and rectifying the inner, in
order to rectify the outer, right, and he said in effigy yesterday
mandala either saw that Salah Ha, Jesu Kulu, either facilite faster
just to do Kulu Allah or he'll call in the heart there is a
morsel of flesh. If it is rectified, the whole body is
rectified. And if it's corrupted, the whole body is corrupted. This
is the heart. So even though he indicated as a physical thing,
it's the spiritual heart. In other words, the essence of who we
actually are.
And so it's fitting that the last three heckum the last three
aphorisms, we're going to look at which complete the hiccup deal
with the main activity of the heart that goes towards
rectification of the inner being, as it were. And this is something
called Elphick, contemplation.
And Allah subhanaw taala exhorts us to contemplate in various
instances in the Quran. In the view, one customer or two will not
do actually that the lady on the Haryana Et Al Bab, La Vina escuela
likely M and record and Raja Jun will be one way to affect Karuna.
We have to send it out very early in the creation of the heavens and
the earth. There are signs for Google Al Bab or
The people who I would say, have this awakening or this yearning
created within the heart.
Who are they living in a guru and Allah, km and rapport with Him.
Those who remember Allah subhanaw taala, standing up and sitting
down and laying down festoon said, Well, that's all three are
encompasses all the different physical positions one can have.
And so the vicar of Allah, which is often seen by some as the
precursor towards the vicar fee must know it, there are a few
Moshe Hannity left so vicar remembrance of Allah, which is a
prerequisite to observing Allah subhanaw taala and contemplating
about Allah subhanaw taala according to some, and according
to some it's higher than Fick.
So one begins by contemplating and then one recalls the fruits of
that contemplation. And all of this informs the inner sense the
inner being of, of the Muslim. So, we have not thought finishes with
that. And really, I like to think of the hicom is not kind of the
beginning and an end, but it's kind of a cyclical thing. So we
can still go back to the first one, and we can read it now again,
and we'll get things out of it. Maybe we didn't get out the first
time. Because what we're really seeing here is the Quran and the
Sunnah don't think anything else, we are seeing the meanings of the
Quran and the Sunnah, the meanings that the prophesy said I'm taught
14 1500 years ago, and then those meanings, transmitted and
distilled via the embodied ears of the Quran and Sunnah via the Olia
and the parliament and there were Obed was who had what's on your
hand, all different names and categories mostly mean mean but
they all can pointing back to the same very basic and profound and
inherent thing that we are looking at the Quran and the Sunnah.
And so someone who has received such recognition from the Ummah
right received such recognition from the whole community. And the
beautiful thing about us when we say community we say OMA, we don't
mean just people living today, or people who lived in the early
period. We're talking about all of those people. All of this is Alma.
Anyone who lived after Muhammad SAW I said lemon and live to see
his reseller is from his Alma
Yamuna when SBE Mami him, the day that all the communities will be
called by their Imam, in other words, their prophet, their
messenger, which for us is Mohamed Salah Salem and just for everybody
here, whether they choose to accept that or not accept that.
So the community has given broad acceptance to the book of the HCA.
And the the justification for that the witnessing of that is the
amount of attention it's received the number of commentaries that
have been written about it, some of them even went as far as to
say, Canada and your quinoa here. It's almost like revelation. And
in fact, we could say it's a distillation of Revelation, it
reflects revelation, not just from the words, right. And we've said
this before, I'm going to reiterate it, I don't believe the
process by which you have not thought INLA wrote these Hichem
was a research project.
Meaning he didn't go into the his library, or whatever library he
had access to at the time and looked at all of the different
Commentaries, and of the Quran, and Tafseer and Hadith and all the
different books that are written before. And then he started to do
research. And he said, let me kind of research this and come up with
some things that summarize all of this. I don't think that was his
process. I think his process was an experiential one.
He practiced this, he lived it, he learned from his teachers, who in
turn learned from their teachers, his teacher was able to invest in
mercy, whose teacher was essentially, whose teacher was
given the message, and so on. So all of all of that Silsila, right,
that chain of transmission was a faith footprint chain of
transmission, that each one of those people was not a carbon copy
of the one before them either. Each one of them took something
and then this their own set of experiences, and their own set of
spiritual experiences formed who they are. And so it comes out in
the way of the hiccup. So he was talking from what we'd call an
wedged, it's something he found, experientially spiritually. And
then he documented what he found, as he went along this particular
journey on his own, and then he wrote it for others to,
to, to benefit from and so, we think that also it's divinely
inspired. If people like him and I thought a second they weren't
divinely inspired and who was so, no, we don't put it in the same
category as Quran and Sunnah. It doesn't have that weight but in as
much as it reflects the meanings of the Quran and Sunnah we we give
it that weight
So, the the argument that some may use well you know why you're
reading that you should just read the Quran you just read the Sunnah
it's, it's a false argue because we are reading for our varying
dishonor. What do you think this is? It's no different.
So
we begin with the hikma, the last three of them number 262 Don't
show who don't Why and
for our for our verbal antibody was there any earlier grab issued
when Estep saw or
contemplation is of two types
contemplation of belief and faith and second contemplation of
witnessing and seeing the first is for those who are apt to learn
lessons from what they see at the bottom that we talked about
earlier. And the second is for those that experience division of
God and have insight a shoot well is steep Sol
Sol the figure of 10 right and they're both good one is for Sally
Keane. One is for the ADDIE Fein ascetic. Figure two does deal with
Amen.
Well, oh, another yesterday Lou bill, Moko winnette, Allen mukha
when I was in Atlanta in McAllen, so the first one is the one who
sees things around them season they're in it sees existing
things, and then says, Oh, that couldn't have come by itself that
must have been from Allah subhanaw taala.
This is ficlet dos de quoi Eman. tastic means I believe God exists.
Amen. Basic Amen. Allah is here. And that is essential. You can't
get to the other things without having that solid as as your
foundation as the basic underpinning about everything that
you are, first equal, amen.
As reflected in the verse in Surah, Baqarah Alladhina, you may
know Nabila, right, the ones who affirm the existence of a life
that which they cannot perceive by their senses. So we live malaba
And how us how is it that which you cannot proceed with your
senses is the hype. So, I believe there's angels all around us right
now. I have no doubt about it. And at least 10 With every person
sitting here
I may not see them, I may not be able to perceive them. But I know
they're there. I believe they're there.
Amen. Built by believing that what you cannot see.
And then there's another type of flicker he mentions here
contemplation of witnessing and seeing shoot why and
this is reflected in the verse guru Mazda their summer wet you
couldn't do math for summer Well
look, have another contemplate that which is within the heavens
and the earth
didn't say couldn't do similar to it didn't say look at the heavens
and the earth because the last time it would not ask us to
reflect on something other than him.
He's asking us to reflect upon him but via his Musselwhite via the
things that are there that are a direct reflection of him the
heavens and the earth man they're fee fee within a similar to what
Heather figured is the bizarre way and I'll show who I am. This is
witnessing to see that which is within it. So they say this is the
type of flicker female at Enid Anwar, in the realms of light and
this is for the LDS and this is what the theme from yesterday Luna
bin mocha when Alan Kay in it they're the ones who see the Mocha
when see Allah and then everything else is a reflection of that
Mocha, one of the One who created and formed not the other way
around.
Because they said how can we Mr. deductible, Fanny Alice, bulky,
how can we take as evidence that which is temporal, that which
didn't have an existence and will sometime in the future not have an
existence either. And that's going to indicate to us the one who's
everlasting and the one who's always there, and always will be,
and always ever was, it should be the other way around. Friendster
did a little bit batty Island Fanny. So we see the bulky, the
one who's everlasting, who has always been there. And his
existence then is the foundation of the existence of everything
else. Of all the other cat in it of all the other beings.
So if any of the other web shoot will is tips are so this one, the
first figure out who will adapt the web will Atiba. So it's for
people of Atiba, right? People who consider people reflect high MACOM
but the second one,
the web shoot while is still soft.
Should means you actually witnessing it, you're tasting it.
And that is the epitome of America. And that is the goal of
Sudak
That is the goal of spiritual wayfaring. And journeying to Allah
subhanaw taala. That that which you heard about, and that what you
read, now you taste and now you see it. And now you see it and
taste it to a degree that it never leaves you.
It's not like there's so moments who have epiphanies and some
moments you don't know, it's more like every moment you see, as an
epiphany, every moment you see as a blessing, Every Breath You see
as an opportunity. Every breath, you don't want to waste it, you
want to put it to use you want to put it towards contemplating want
to put it towards dhikr remembrance of Allah subhanaw
taala. And ultimately how we started these sessions, and we
said, this is the science of the inner journey, that really is the
inner journey, where the journey then becomes the destination,
remain on that journey, have the inner life reflect, remember,
contemplate, and then do do what you're inspired to do do what
Allah subhanaw taala inspires you to do. And this is how Muslims
built great civilizations, and built great libraries, and
ultimately built great people. It was by people embodying these
meanings. It wasn't by the acquisition, or the or the rating
of wealth, as some historians might want us to believe had
nothing to do with that. Those were side issues. But they were
able to build great communities of people and great civilizations of
people because they were able to build a great person.
They're able to connect the person with the to humanity that they
always had within them, but in a manner that they made available
for everybody. And that was the Prophetic Mission, and is still is
the Prophetic Mission. When I met one I thought NBS and the scholars
and the Juliet they are the heirs of the prophets and most of all,
our Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu send them or they have the sword
or Salem hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen so we'll stop here is
akmola al Baraka Luffy calm thank you all for attending. Not just
today but in the past and it's, I'm I feel humbled. It's a great
honor that we got a chance to read this book, from cover to cover are
the aphorisms and had a chance to talk about it and think about it.
Now the next steps for us is to try to live it as best as we can.
And may Allah Azza wa Taala give us still feed us nurjahan success
in in being able to do that. hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
