very calm and brushing it off tonight I mean, so you didn't have
you know karate or you go to mahadji been listening or Sadie
wanting
to learn while he was hobby he was where God it when I said every
idea he was telling me something to intelligent actually they only
been
able to kind of heavy her laser on Halo Herrlich from my bat. So
Hamdulillah
we will be commencing with this session, a new class
looking at as we have entitled it, the journey is the destination
looking at the way of the Ariffin
and when we talk about how the fiend or hydrophone, those who are
the knowers of Allah subhanaw taala we think of the verse in the
Quran, more methodical general into the balloon have created the
jinn and the instant human beings except that they may worship Me.
And it was the understanding of hybridoma otology manual Quran,
sunnah, as well, you know, and who he said that
the iPhone, the Aberdonian and the iPhone, that they may worship Me
so that they may know me. So one of the unique things about
humanity
that separates us from
other kitty net other beings, other creatures, is that a last
one on data allows us the great blessing to know Allah subhanaw
taala.
And we're going to be looking at what does it mean to actually know
Allah subhanaw taala usually when we think about relationship, one
knowing another
or I would say a tarot, right, Donald love to eat our food, and
I got to know this person. So we kind of exchanged phone numbers or
social media tags and you know, we had coffee together and we got to
know one another. And we you know, spend some time with one another.
And so we got to know one another. But obviously, that is not
appropriate for knowing a loss penalty either. So the knower of a
loss
is going to be the nature of a relationship that's quite
different than knowing, say, another human being. And our
reasons. And our motivation, I think also is going to be quite
different from knowing another human being. So with Allah
subhanaw taala it's kind of already programmed within us.
Like the ability to know Allah subhanaw taala. And what's even
more, perhaps bewildering is that
we knew Allah subhanaw taala before we even really knew
ourselves, right? The verse of others to be robic on the day of
LSD will be coming the time before time, when we're all gathered,
souls in the lines of Adam, it said, and Allah said to us
collectively, others to grow become Am I not your Lord? And we
all collectively said Bella, Shahidan. Right? We said,
certainly, we witnessed this. So we didn't say that a Yanni. For
him. Now, all bets are off. Now. We said better Shahid now, said,
certainly, we have witnessed this. So this is kind of an era or an
allusion with an A, to the idea of Moshe had, that really knowing
Allah subhanaw taala is to witness the divine in everything, because
the one true being is the being of God. So if there were no other
beings, there was no other existence apart from the existence
of God, before Allah subhanaw taala decided to create
everything, then he is V being right, he is the woowoo DSD, the
existence and that then presents sort of a conundrum for us in the
sense that
well, if Allah subhanaw taala is the being and he was always there
and always will be there, how do we understand our existence, our
being right and this is what many, I think philosophers and
theologians and the, the primary or the first
science or discipline that they study in philosophy or theology is
the knowledge of being or ontology what is the you know, what is the
ontological reality of the universe is the universe
as kind of a material world, what you see is what you get. And, you
know, I see tree and I see
sky and I see River and I see people and then that's basically
all that I'm seeing, just kind of the physicality or the corporal
essence of what people are, or what things are and people are
just another form of a thing?
Or is there something deeper and more profound behind? That being?
Right? And then I may wonder making might have some conjecture
about what is that being in front of me? How did it get there? And
what keeps it there? Does it kind of sustain itself? And how long?
Do I expect it to be there? And when did it actually get there?
And then if it didn't get there by itself? Then what what, what helps
to bring it into existence? Or how did it come into existence? And
when it leaves existence, what is that going to look like? Right? So
that's what we've always talked about in the other classes, while
the bene the idea of Kitab Allah and Maduro Kitab Allah, he must
do. So reading the Quran contemplating the meanings of the
Quran is essential, but also contemplating the meanings of
creation, reading the book of creation, looking at all the signs
around us. And this is kind of,
you know, the beginning of the way of the IDF and Billa. So,
the knower of God
knows God in everything, right. So there's never an absence and say,
God wasn't here. Or he kind of let this thing go here, or he wasn't
over there or
not sure why he let this thing happened the way it did, and, and
so forth. So that if we let, it's not really going to think of
things in terms of that, they will look at things in terms of Allah
subhanaw. Taala is the complete sovereign over existence, and has
power over all things. And things are the way that they are, because
they're supposed to be exactly that way. And one of the stories
that we recounted probably in other classes, there was a
teacher, and he had three students. And he was deciding
which one of them to make his
Khalifa or who's going to take over the class after he departs,
right after he passes away, and he wants to see who's the one who
understood the most about his teachings, and who imbibed and
understood the most. So he asked all three of them same question,
which was, what would you change about the world in terms of the
way that you see it? Right, you know, the commands of Allah and
His prohibitions, you know, what would you change? One of them? I
think the first one said, I would make everyone a believer,
obviously. And there will be no more Quran there'll be no more
disbelieving in Allah subhanaw taala and everyone would be a
Muslim and that will be the first thing I would do on the shifts.
Okay, very well. Good. Then he asked the second person what he
said I would eliminate poverty, obviously, there would be no more
fuck, and the prophesy said and mash my cough. How closer is
poverty close to Coover and it's a big fitna and tribulation for many
people. And so I think I would, I would change that I wouldn't have
that be be there anymore.
So okay, very well good. Nanny, ask the third student.
And the third student said,
I wouldn't change anything.
Not a single thing. You said you are my belief.
You will be the
the teacher after me.
Because that which Allah subhanaw taala has decided to be an is and
to exist as we see it now is the best of choices. Right? So
landowners call out when a caller we don't challenge and object to
the Kabbalah the intent, the pre eternal intention of God. And this
is one of the cornerstones of unmodified biller. And we don't
fight
the coddle, right watch that which Allah subhanaw taala has
instituted and executed and reveals every day, you know, they
said the verse Kulu. And he said, every day is in a different affair
or different matter, that everyday Allah sometimes is revealing
something new to us. So configure Kuhn wasn't just at the beginning
and the commencement of the universe. My last month, I didn't
create the universe in six days. So, Mr. Welsh, then he, in a
matter of chemistry with His Majesty is still at an ashram
without a translation. And then he left it to be on kind of
everything kind of happened by itself.
Going for a Akun be and it is and it will be is continually
happening. And at a rate that
It is
imperceptible by us. So we look out, I look outside my window here
and I see a tree. And I say, okay, the tree looks the same as it did
yesterday. And it looks like the same as it did when I just started
the class 10 minutes ago. So I don't really see any change seems
to be the same.
But it's not the same. It's actually not the same tree that it
was yesterday and not even the same tree that it was 10 minutes
ago, and not the same tree, that it was even five seconds ago or
any measure of time any infant has more measure of time, not even a
nanosecond ago, is it still the same tree because Allah subhanaw
taala is recreating that tree. So, quantify a pool put something into
existence, and confer cool also sustains that existence.
And then one day, conveyor corn will take that thing out of
existence. And that means there is nothing that escapes the color and
color of Allah subhanaw taala.
So, it's all different.
Everything is changing. And this is they say change or reduce is
what the word field theologians use to describe change. In a
theological sense, produce means that everything is coming in and
out of existence. So existence consists of essences. So an
essence of something that which we can say defines that thing. Right?
So I say tree and I think tree Well, you know, whatever genus and
species that scientists have determined to what a tree is, I'm
not familiar with that. And then that's the essence of that thing.
But that tree, they can have different changing attributes as
well. So one day you could be greeny and leafy and the other day
when as we approach fall, the leaves change and they turn bright
red and orange and yellow and eventually fall and then
fundamentally wither away. And then there's nothing on the tree
and it looks apparently dead. But it's not. And then it's only a few
short months after that in spring, where it comes back to life once
again. And such is also the parable of life. That's why we
mean what we mean by Clearlight keytab as Moneyball to read the
book of, of creation.
So
the only thing that is not like that, that doesn't have the civet
in her youth. Right that doesn't come come in out of existence is
only god it's only the last part of time. That's why I lost my
father is one and that's why everything else is created
generally in pairs. Woman coalition collapsed and so Janie,
la La Quinta, Zachary and in everything were created pairs so
that you may remember it's a
measure or a place where you will find vicar the remembrance of
Allah subhanaw taala. And so the only thing right? And it's okay to
call Allah thing as the Quran mentions. We run across Shane Chaz
and Kula what is the biggest witnessing thing that witnesses
and they meet Allah subhanaw taala. So, the only thing then
that is not subject to our frames of reference that operate in
temporality, right and things coming in and out of existence is
Allah subhanaw taala. And the very fact that everything comes in and
out of existence is that they lead it's a proof that Allah exists,
because no one thing is capable of putting something in and out of
existence by itself, because that thing of itself also had to come
in and out of existence. So the line has to end somewhere or as I
say, the buck stops somewhere the chain of command has to end
somewhere and that chain ends with Allah subhanaw taala. So that's
from a theological viewpoint from from a spiritual viewpoint. How
does one imbibe that sentiment?
All the time. Right. And so
Muslims generally we do fairly well, I would say with the, the
ritual aspects of Islam, especially people who are
committed to Islam, so we were pretty good and adept at prayers
and the five prayers and arranging for even in the pandemic or
anything for total, we're prayers and if thought and, and those
aspects and
many billions of dollars are spent towards
organizing the high touch in Saudi Arabia and then sick the rites of
Hajj between Mecca and Medina and much infrastructure has been built
to facilitate
the worship of Allah subhanaw taala you know, many massage at
mosques are still being built some of them quite grandiose
and and huge and eclipsing even some of the pre modern masks that
you find have been built and
You know, this kind of goes on. So, we are quite adept at kind of
facilitating what we would call the outward worship of Allah
subhanaw taala the inner worship of Allah subhanaw taala however
something else, the inner worship is something that is more going to
be an aspect of America a bit of, of knowing Allah subhanaw taala.
So this is why we find some of the texts and manuals of Sufism
worthless. The idea of this
distinction between our bed was to head with a hydrophone.
And when the sofas talk about the bed and the Zohar, they don't do
so pejoratively, or condescendingly, they're saying
that that is a valid way to go about conducting your relationship
with Allah subhanaw taala. But it's not the only way to conduct
that relationship. So the AVID is someone who's perfecting their
outdoor worship, Allah subhanaw taala. And you could be avid and
out if at the same time, but when we say I've been living someone
who's very much concerned with or focusing on the outdoor worship,
you know, did I
do all the prayers correctly, and am I doing the extra prayers and
maybe, you know, they keep a count of how many jewels a day they've
read. And you know, sometimes not all of them, but some of them
becomes sort of like an accumulation game, or I'm
accumulating good deeds, and all of these will go into my Sahifa
will go into my page of deeds for the afterlife. And that is kind of
the MO
The way that the hobbit would operate the zero head,
or the one who were announces things, or the what we would call
in our parlance today, the minimalist is someone who says I
don't need this, and I don't need that. And the dunya is
dzifa, right, as a hadith Manson mentioned it is it's like that
carry on, and it's not something to be, you take only what you
need, and it's really unpleasant, and I don't want anything of it.
And I'm just going to, you know, reject this and reject that and
even relationships with people, and they may look at people and
say, like, well, that person is toxic. I don't want be with them.
They're gonna affect me very negatively. And as had fee for
them, you know, like, washer will be somebody that doesn't work. No
means Yeah, he, when I said about use of, or they said the same
word, when he was lifting the well, and then the group came and
they found him in the well.
They sold him feminine bus, like not much. Okay, I don't mean to
say
that he
didn't think much of it. So, the Zed also is a lofty Mahan however,
that if the one who truly knows Allah subhanaw taala.
What distinct is distinctive about them, then there's a hidden dabit
if I had to sum it up in one word, at least from a theoretical point
of view, is they've done a much better job of eliminating the I in
the me
in the whole equation, that's the whole thing. So the Hobbit,
saying, I worship Allah, I am doing good deeds, I am adding this
to my psyche. I am, you know, reading $10 a day and, you know,
I'm, I've earned what I've gotten. And I'm going to be in the front
line at the masjid. And that's kind of my status. And that's
where it should be because I'm working hard. As an avid
does that also has an eye, right? Because he said, Oh, I don't want
this and I don't want that. They're still in high. Right? And
that's not for me. And this is gonna affect me negatively. And
this is toxic for me. And this is that my life. There's no i, right.
It's only Hawa it's Allah subhanaw taala. So that if would say about
Zuid, for example, how to dissolve unless the hood, as you find in
some of the sushi manuals, the reality of zoo hood, is that
there's no zoo hood. The reality of forsaking or renouncing the
dunya is that it doesn't really exist. Why? Because looking at it
from the perspective of the Divine, and called law and order,
that which is supposed to be yours and happen to you. No one can deny
it from you. And no one can avoid it. So it's coming to you, whether
you like it or not, and that which was never meant for you, and it
was never yours was never going to be in your possession and it was
never going to be for you. Then
how are we going to be there hidden the thing that's not yours
to begin with? It's kind of an exercise and folly. So that's the
McLamb of the Hadith, right? And even with the hobbit who says yes,
I have a bad but my badda by my acts of worship, they are not
Mooji Beth there I met, so my acts of worship. They are not carrying
me favor with God. I don't look at
it like that, like I'm scoring points and I'm accumulating things
I am seeing that they are signs that Allah subhanaw taala is
pleased with me for hey I met min Allah right so there are signs
from God they're not things that I am doing in order to curry favor
with God but rather he these are things that he has done for me. So
I see that the better the RFC is the better as a gift from Allah a
gift from God and not something that I'm working and I'm pushing
and I'm doing and I'm striving and then I'm going to get that from
God. Does that negate the idea of of striving and struggling and
Lisa insanely IMSR with Hulu, Janetta Vemma, quantum Cameroon,
these are verses from the Quran we can't deny the meanings. There is
nothing for the person except that which they strive for. With good
agenda we are going to Cameroon and then to Paradise by that which
you have done right but this is to shitty.
Right? This is the last one honoring us and ennobling us and
saying, here are the things that I have given you and you have done
and you have been the the muzzle right, it has been manifested upon
you and you have done them in that sense. So enter paradise with
that. But ultimately we enter Paradise, by Allah's mercy, and
this is the prophets,
elucidation, illumination of, of that hadith of that verse, when he
said, you know, lay a total agenda Don't be Amelie, nobody enters
Paradise by their deeds.
Is that a contradiction to the verse? No. It's explaining the
verse. So when the Sahaba the Companions asked him, how to enter
your rasool Allah. He said, even you were messenger Allah, He said,
had to enter Illa. And yet, as I'm reading Allahu rahmati, exceptive,
Allah subhanaw taala encompasses me, and his all encompassing
mercy, I too will not enter paradise.
So this path of the Adi Fein as we've talked about it or the way
of that, if it is not an easy one,
there's a lot of inner work
associated with it working on, you know, kind of, and most of the
inner work is going to be focused towards this Munez out to pull out
when other people have most of time have an issue with the idea
of okay, this is what was happening is making it happen. But
I have an objection to it, and I don't like it.
So there's two ways that you that you can work with that sentiment.
One, look at what's happening. And if it's contravening the commands
of God, right, if we see injustice, for example, if we see,
you know, like the
poor soul who was killed in the street for nothing except the
allegedly a counterfeit bill, and pleading for his life. But
nonetheless, the callousness of the people who are supposed to be
authorities and in charge, and nonetheless, they ignored that,
and he died in the streets.
That's an injustice and a great one. And if we look at the
response, which could be almost an unprecedented response all around
the world, the reaction to that is indication of how great and
injustice that is. And so, you know, in no way shape or form, do
we say that I have no objection to that act?
That's not what we're talking about. What we call that is in
muckety, muck, the is the contents of the color. But what I don't
have an objection to is
the one who made the color, right? I'll call the lady actually will
come up. So the one who had this intention of this thing happening
as well, in the time before time, namely Allah subhanaw taala, I
don't have an objection to him being the one doing that. This is
what it means by a little bit about contentment, with
contentment with the Divine Decree. And this is usually
mentioned, in terms of,
you know, the spiritual station's maklumat. It's usually one of the
last ones, right, it's maybe like the second to last or some of them
haven't even as the highest, to be a body but a lot because it's not,
it's not an easy thing to arrive to from, from a spiritual state.
So going back to what we said, we've seen things that happen if
they contravene the idea that contravene the commands of Allah
subhanaw taala, then I have a responsibility.
Depending upon the circumstance, depending upon my relationship to
whatever's happening, you know, if I have a personal obligation or if
it's a communal obligation, you know, that's some of the things
that Sergio is going to take into consideration, will by
my decision to act now how bring about a positive effect or bring
about a negative one, will it add to it or to diminish it? So these
are the considerations, but certainly there is going to be a
process of okay, I need to do something. And that's correct.
If we find that it contravenes the Sharia, but in those things where
it's not necessarily a contravention of this
idea, right when
you know the word that the parliament use for these things,
they call it a no as an as the law.
So that's the law means to come down. So then it was it or the the
plural of nose, and I mean something Allah sent down. So I
have 10 acres of land, and I grow oranges and South Florida. And we
had an unusual season. And that was frost in April, and it took
away 35% of my crop.
As of right now, what do I do in terms of, okay, how do I how do I
go about doing that? Do I have to, you know, take someone to task
about that. There's no one to take to task. It's not like the
situation described earlier, where they're actually human beings who
have to be taken to task and justice has to be brought to them.
But in this sense, this is an asila. Right? This is something
that Allah subhanaw taala Katara, will hold off, Allah made this
happen. And there's no one really to take the task. The problem is,
when we don't find anyone to take the task, what we wind up doing,
even though we may not be aware of it is we take a lot to task.
That's the problem. So we say, I don't believe this, how could this
happen? Why me? I'm praying five times a day, what's I don't get
it? Why am I suffering through this? And why am I going through
this? And why is this happening to me, this sort of thing. This is
what they call few Muslims, Al Jazeera. So just a means to panic.
So when we have something that is unexpected, or unwanted, or what
we think to be unwarranted,
we reject it. And there's Jezza. And then that may even lead to a
rejection of what
Allah subhanaw taala. So then what do I do in this particular
situation? Well, this is when we entered the realm of adab and
etiquettes and comportment, and how do we contend with an Zillah?
Noisy of things that just happened? sickness and death and
loss of profit and loss of job?
There's nobody on the face of the planet who hasn't gone through
something like that. And there's no one who's ever lived to us that
can't do something like that. Because Allah promises that look
around whenever you're in a condition, even if you're doing an
offer similar
to somebody. There were some sort of opera that we've mentioned many
times before. So there's going to be a tribulation there's going to
be empty. Let,
what is the verse say? Well, best share a submarine.
Right? Which is kind of interesting, because when we think
of tip she'll be Shorter. Shorter means give good news. Glad Tidings
like, here's a positive thing. So it says beshear a Savini. So give
the glad news. The good news, the glad tidings to the sour bitter to
the one who is patient, right, the one who, despite the bitterness of
Alan McCurdy, right, this is a word we should memorize the
bitterness of the contents of the clock what actually was decreed,
and it may be bitter, and that's okay.
We still have a riddle or we try to have a riddle Bill cover up. So
silver patients then is the first gate to go through when you're
trying to have contentment with Allah's decree specifically in
those things that were in your estimation, unwarranted or
unexpected or undesired.
So what is the gate we need to go through when that happens? Sub
patients forbearance know that it's going to be there for a time
temporary temporary could mean a week could mean a year could be
more could be less. But we know in the modern city you saw animatics
and diagonal
alarm through your serenely that the period of difficulty cannot
defeat two periods of ease because that's the understanding from the
verse from the verses the two verses.
So
then there is kind of a perseverance and forbearance and
okay, it's bitter and I like it but sha Allah was coming after
this. And Allah is promising also he says we're beshear a Savarin
What did they do? What were these people the sabe ruined the patient
ones What did they do what what is the other I Latina either I saw a
veteran masiva to call in nearly law he were in LA he was your own
the ones when they have a masiva right. So even this word the Saba,
it means like you got stung or hit something, you know, something
fell upon you. So it's like think about the puddle. The image I have
in my mind is like you know, we're on a target and there are arrows
going out all the time. So, sometimes the arrow may get you
and sometimes it may miss you. So when it gets you This is called a
salva alright so that means they're always going to be there
and sooner or later, something of that is going to happen to you and
levena either right and either here. They say in Arabic language
you use either when you are fairly certain the thing is going to
happen. So it means not if something's going to happen says
when is that
Our translated the unit either Asaba Tomasi when when the mercy
but when the calamity happens to them this is all but the arrow
hits them. What did they do?
Called in you know he were in LA he Roger, they say in Adela they
remind themselves, we are for Allah subhanaw taala and certainly
we are returning and we're going back to Allah subhanaw taala What
did they get in return? Who the ICA Aleem Salah to Moodle have
been Rama what will ICA
they have Salawat mineral became one of them. I am not aware of any
other verse in the Quran, where there's Salawat from Allah to us.
The only other verse I'm aware of is for us to do Salawat on the
prophesy center, right? In Allahu ala Yucatan we used to do that and
every year you will Edina mn son Luallen. He was selling with us
Lima. So Allah gives Salawat on the Prophet SAW Selim and the mala
Iike and the angels and now we it's a wedge of at least even once
in a lifetime to say Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa
salam.
But this verse hula Iike, I lay him men who men whom
the people who say in the law who are in a in a Raji are the ones
who are patient.
Right? And the ones who say we are we're for Allah. And this is
really pointed out if this is what an RF would say, right? Because
the prophets I send them said in NEMA sub Ron's a sub module, he
said, This patients really comes on the sub Ma, right when when the
calamity initially hits right away. That's an that's what
they're thinking. So they're not. It's not something where there's
like, Okay, what should I say in this situation? Let me think about
that. Let me go on Google and say what I'm supposed to say when they
hear of a death or calamity or something like that. No, they're
already there. That sort of thing. They're already in any way nearly
00 that's already in their heart, they already living that all the
time. So this is just an articulation of what's already in
their heart in the lab. Alright, we are for a low we're in a lady
Roger Irwin, and we are not going to return to Allah, we are
returning to Allah. As soon as we were born, we started returning to
Allah subhanaw taala. As soon as you were born, you come out of
your mother's womb, you were dying. So you're living and dying
at the same time, life and death, both of them at the same time you
live, but you're also dying, because dying means you're going
towards your inevitable end, and your inevitable and this death,
even though you are living right now. And so when these reminders
come about, right, and that's what they are really the reminders who
say inactive Yeah, he was in LA, he Roger Weir for a lot. And
certainly were returning towards a loss funnel data. So as I said in
the beginning, we're going to look in the sessions at this idea of
automatically be left and what that means. And there's a text I
will be following. Unfortunately, it's not available in English.
It is available Arabic, I have not found a PDF. And it's kind of a
rare book. But what I liked about it is it's kind of very succinctly
and
I think also eloquently
talks about the the main aspects of the body for Biller, and this
book is called to the screen called the bill it theme.
And it's for an event we've been tossing
the Jedi towards an Andalusian scholar who lived during the Dota
idea. So during the time when the more headin in Morocco, and in
southern Spain or Angeles.
And what he does that's nice is he divided the book into three parts.
And kotoba here does it mean cultivating a Sufi sensitive and
supportive like Paul, so cultivate it feeling like like a guiding
pole like the North Star. So there's three main ones. So the
first section to cultivate our world or the first section is
dealing with female if it's snowing the last panel time and
basically this is an exposition of knowing as much as we can know
about Allah Spano data so that we may know him so to know what Allah
is not and what LA LA is, and what Allah does and what Allah doesn't
do.
And then the next section after that,
he will reorder which is soup. So okay, now that I know the
foundation about Allah subhanaw taala How do I get myself to go?
What we will sail into carlman Eman al enemy immense SLT. Right.
So from Amen, that's based upon kind of a purely intellectual
level, okay, I know Allah, like, like, I know what he is and what
he isn't. But how do I have that manifested right and imbibe within
me? All the time? So that's a Tehzeeb what riada so Tehzeeb
means to
training or spiritual training, what are they all the same kind of
words you know?
has even has more of like focusing on eliminating the blameworthy
character traits. Because really the obstacle to having a more of a
deep and found and let's say filthy, spiritual understanding of
Allah is our internal obstacles, right there our own misgivings,
things like Wes was right things like our own delusions,
things that are inherent within us are never saying yet, right we, we
tend to like things that are pleasurable and we don't like
things that are not pleasurable. So what happens when things that
are pleasurable, but they contravene the command of God,
what do we do that? So this causes a type of
conundrum for us? Or are the adverse, what if something is not
pleasurable, but we know that it is something that pleases Allah
subhanaw taala. So what will drive me and what will give me the, you
know, the impetus and the motivation, the wherewithal to
actually do that thing. So, that's the subject of the body odor. And
he's going to look at it from looking at certain adab so he's
going to talk about what's ones etiquette with your own self,
what's one's etiquette with other people with a what's once
etiquette with Allah
and so forth.
And then the last section, he calls in bought in well, Sr, which
is looking at the inner meanings of things and what he calls a
lesser all the secrets. So he doesn't really goes very deep into
what we would call kind of the
you know, the inner most meetings on the left if and, and things
that really could be a distraction on the path, but he, he more or
less kind of gives us some idea, some inclination of what does the
McLamb of a city theme, what does the station have the ID for was it
look like in terms of how they look at things and their
relationship with Allah subhanaw taala and people and with a little
color, and also looking at kind of different he has the last section
here about Jitsu, you know, certain obstacles, even in in a
new crash, and understanding the innermost meaning of things and
how to get around them and so forth. So
that's kind of the book. I'm not sure how fast we can finish it. My
intention is to kind of more or less read it through. It's not
that big. I may kind of just summarize and skip in, in certain
sections. But beginning with the next class, that's intention. And
as I said, this will run four days a week, or four nights a week,
depending on where you are, for the time being Monday through
Thursday. And very much like the photography class. We're also
going to
run this through YouTube and it will be on the YouTube channel for
people to watch later if they didn't get a chance to watch it.
The first time
