Walead Mosaad – The Hikam The Wisdom of Ibn `Ata’ Allah final class

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
