And this is the session that we have that's after us or before
Maghrib.
They like to call it the scholars like to call the session the row
where the row
and the row hat
is a beautiful word. And then goes back to the word read, which is
wind.
And the row had literally is that specific time, before McGraw. And
it's a time that the wind is very, very calm and very serene, and
very comforting. So they call these late afternoon sessions the
row half, because it's a very common serene time and it's a good
time to work on one's spirituality. And they say that
the breezes of spirituality. This is one of the times that that they
come at the breezes of spirituality, they come in this in
this lesson time of the roja and there's a hadith where the prophet
says, I've said that a row haffi Seville, Allah is that a late
afternoon in the path of Allah is better than the world and
everything that's in it.
So we'll continue with this. This lesson, Roja and Hamden, and
we've actually reached the end or the conclusion of this book,
knowledge and wisdom. This is the hajima al Kitab. Nakajima al
Kitab, the conclusion or the end of this book, knowledge and
wisdom.
And it's a great blessing. And it's a great
it's actually a significant and special thing, to reach the
conclusion, or to reach the hot item, of anything that a person is
doing.
And we know that the prophets on this enemy said that in the
Malama, Lavinia at the beginning action is according to the
intentions, right, so if we have a blessed intention, if we have a
blessing, blessing, Inception, a blessing commencement is that that
action will be blessing as well. But there's another Hadith that
that that mentions that says that, and that man will be how Artemia
This is a very important Hadith
that the Prophet system said that actions are by our by their ends,
that actions are by their how our team by their conclusions. So this
tells us that the most important aspects of whatever we perform
everything in life, is that it's that beginning and that end, and
if we have a good beginning, and we concluded with a good end, and
is that the hope is everything in between deficiencies or
shortcomings is that that will be overlooked. So the scholars, they
really emphasize that Whenever someone's going to do something,
is that they pay special attention to these two aspects, the starting
point and the ending point. Right again, the Prophet said in the
Malbec Nia so if you have that good intention, your action will
be good. And then Prophet also said in the MOLAP Malou, a large
amount of the whole Artemia actions are by their endings. So
it's a great blessing that we've reached the bottom of this book of
this great book. And
and why is it the case that atom that our closure or conclusion why
is it significant? Why our actions by their last by their last by the
Howard team, why is that the case? Is that one of the reasons why
they're so significant is that in the Hutton the ending the closure
the last lap if you wish
That's where we show our final intention when we show our final
attitude. And if we have if we end it with a positive outlook or for
end that with the right intention or the right attitude, then
inshallah it's accepted. Right. And they mentioned in that hadith,
that long Hadith that we all know, the Hadith where the man he killed
99 people, the man from Bani Israel in the previous tribes, he
killed 99 people. And then the famous Hadith and then he, he went
to make Toba and he was traveling to the lands of righteous lands of
the righteous people announced he was going to pass away, or he
deaths reached him as he was traveling on his path of
repentance. But what did he do? So that was his last hours, his last
minutes, his last breaths. But what did he do is that he actually
the Hadith says, and it's very detailed, and he actually flung
himself forward towards that land. In other words, his Hutton, he
went a little bit extra, and he went towards that the good Hutton,
and that we know that he was forgiven. So every atom, every
ending act that we have, and every conclusion, every closure, is that
we want to in a figurative or metaphysical,
figurative manner.
We want to flunk ourselves for it, we want to have that last, you
know, the last lap, we want to run a little bit harder, we want to
make the right attitude make the right intention. And that the hope
is, is that amount will be hot in here that will be accepted from
us. And often you find that the perfection of actions you know in
someone's very adept some someone's very skillful, someone's
a master, that the perfection of that action is in last final
touches.
That's one of the things that distinguishes those who are really
Masters is that that last final touch was a very, very subtle, but
it's just those last final touches and that makes the Master the
Master and whatever it is, whatever skill they have, it's
just that they pay attention to those last final moments. And
that's what makes it significant. What they're doing is that's where
the perfection lies in. So now and then there's different types of
Hutton's right? But this is the same principle that having a son
and having a quality and making one's last intention and ones last
ones last effort
in that bottom and hope that you know if that hot term is accepted
as Barraca then the whole action will be accepted. So I'm a little
hot hot in here.
So we have had for instance of our actions, for instance of the Salah
right how do we end the salah when the salah and the best of ways
with the with the shepherd, right after praying you sit down you're
calmly or you're repurposed. Right, you see, to hear to the Now
you give those greetings to Allah. You send the salah or the Nibi you
send this lab on every righteous believer, and then you say I said
I'm worthy. And that's how you end your Salah. That's the bottom of
the Sunnah. Right? Likewise after you finish your so that would you
say, you say a start from start from what you see Toba? You seek
forgiveness from that action. That was an act of obedience. So why
would you seek forgiveness from something that was an act of
obedience is that again, it's about the idea of that pattern.
Right? You want that to be a good closure, good ending. And also we
have, you know, the hum of Koran, the completion of Quran. And we
know from explicit Hadith, that when someone completes the Quran,
is that that is a blessed time. And specifically when someone
completes the Quran, that dua are accepted. When some of the Sahaba
when they used to complete the Quran, or when they do they would
gather their family members and people in their house, and they
would all make dua collectively. Right? So again, there's something
special, there's something significant about Hutton, the end
of something, the ending of something, the beginning and the
end. And that's why again
skandi Abdullah bin Atala. He says mon Nam, you couldn't be that who
Mahican them your cool, new hire to machinery. Whoever is beginning
isn't burning. In other words, they're striving hard. If
someone's beginning isn't like that, then their end won't be
eliminated. And there's also as often it's actually kind of
interesting if you think about it, but there's often there's often a
reflection of one's ending and one's beginning.
A lot of times the way that someone starts
it's kind of a reflection of how they will, how they will end was
very subtle. And they say even in you know, stories, or you know the
word mythology, for example, because that they have what's
called you know, it's a common architect archetype. Is that the
hero's journey
hero's journey, and basically starts off as that you have, you
know, the hero.
And he doesn't really know anything about the world. He's
just, he's an innocent person.
Right? And then that's where he starts. Right. And then he meets
someone, he meets like a chef, he meets someone that inspires him,
that teaches them the path that inspires them to take on that
path. So then he meets that significant person. And then he
embarks on the path he progresses. And then he meets a challenge. And
he usually fails in that challenge event in the first the first the
first time, that's his lowest point. And he has a choice whether
to continue on the path or to,
to give up, but he needs that challenge. But then the hero he,
he goes, he overcomes that challenge. And then he meets it
again. And then he passes it. Okay. But then at the end, the
last stage is that he goes back to where he came from. But now he's
nominated. Now he has knowledge now he has, now he's achieved what
he's achieved. And that's a common if you look at a lot of even
theater and movies that are common themes, the hero's story, but that
ending now, and then you have hot them, if you look at it, even as
the Prophet says, He's the hardest one to begin. Right? He's that
he's that he's the last prophet.
But at the same time, he's the best of prophets. So it's like a
law. In that sense, he saved the best for last. But again, there's
something special about these, these endings. And then last but
not least, which is really the most important thing is that as we
should always be making dua to Allah, the Houstonian hajima Allah
let our lives end with a beautiful, good, positive closure.
Houston Cottam a good ending, good ending. And again, we know that
the professor's having said that whoever's last words before they
pass on, or transition through this world is there whoever's last
words or La ilaha illa. So the whole agenda that they will enter
agenda, and that's the host little hotter, they mentioned about that,
that Imam and you need the great Imam and Junaid when he was on his
deathbed. He was reciting Quran
and they asked him you were sending Quran not at this time,
your deathbed. And he said yes, because I want my SuperPhone my
scrolls, this is the best thing that I can, that I could, I could
I could end my squirrels with the words of Allah. Right, the angels
writing down everything he's doing the best thing I could end my
squirrels with the Hata my squirrels and with the speech of
Allah.
So this is the pattern that Imam Abdullah wheelhead dad that he
presents. For us in this blessed book, knowledge and wisdom, this
is the heart of the conclusion. And it's the way that he presents
this, this conclusion is very beneficial, and very beneficial.
It's also interesting, though he does is it says these following
verses, so he starts with is of the Quran.
And not only does he start with ISIS coordinates, that is an
order.
Right? So from the first source all the way to the ending source,
he presents them in order. And then he mentions the Hadith of the
prophets, I send them
and then he mentioned the sayings of the son of the vitreous
predecessors who are guided to the path of Allah. And again, he
starts in a chronological order. So after the process of he
mentioned, for example, the statements of saying that at
the statements of the different companions are the the Elevate
from father to son, and then he continues throughout the, the, in
the chronological order of the different Imams and their
different saints. So the idea is that there's a beautiful
continuum, right? It starts from the Quran. And that's the thing is
that when you have knowledge when you study with people, is that you
have that sonnet,
you have that chain that you're connected to, and that it's a
continuum. Right? So from the prophets, I said, I'm receiving
revelation from Gibreel. Right, is that the Companions received it
from his state. And then the successors took from their state,
and then their students, and then their students and then their
students. So when we, when we connect ourselves to the true
teachers, who have taken this knowledge from those who have
taken this knowledge from those articles, knowledge from the true
sources, is that the hope is we become part of that continuum. And
then this is huge crisis. Now, in the modern Islamic world. The
people, they don't they don't they even if they have something, even
they have knowledge is that where did they get that knowledge from?
Where were their teachers? A lot of these, you know, these
unfortunate
occurrences that we see at the hands of Muslims.
You asked if I ask them who are their teachers? They don't have
teachers who where did they study from? And if they
Have a seat. Where did they where is their knowledge from? And a lot
of times you'll find that there's just no knowledge or ignorance
when one of them
when he went to join, you know, when these groups and the last
thing that he did is he went on amazon.com and he bought Islam he
bought the Quran for dummies.
He was so ignorant of the deen, you know, he wanted to brush up on
his knowledge. So he bought the Quran for dummies.
This is a spot on
establishing
Rafa without knowledge.
So Imam had that he presents these. And then also, he concludes
with, these are just
each one of these verses, each one of these Hadith, each one of these
statements, they're sufficient.
They're sufficient. If someone just took one of these statements,
one of these verses one of these Hadith and just really
internalized it and contemplated it, that's all they need. So
there's a lot and obviously,
you know, the Quran itself is another Oh is a never ending
ocean. And that the tafsir is you could just, there's so much to be
said about it. But we'll just read this. We'll try to read it quite
briefly.
Just limit no comments and remarks. So he says,
Please start with this verse and sort of dakara where Allah says
the conclusion
what Teku Yo man, or Gerona See he no more, the matter was good
enough sim cassette but
the moon, that and guard yourselves and have Taqwa, prepare
yourselves, guard yourselves against a day in which you will
return back to Allah.
And that day, then every soul will be paid in full recommends, for
that which it had earned, and that they will not be wrong, there's no
injustice, and that it is on the record, that this was the last
verse of the Quran to be revealed. And that the Messenger of Allah,
Allah says to them, he lived only 10 days thereafter. So they
mentioned that this is actually the last, the last very last verse
of Quran to be revealed. So in a sense, this is the essential
message of the car.
Here's the last verses. This is all. In other words, in a sense,
if all you need if all you needed was one verse, take the last verse
This summarizes everything comes out what Deku Yo man, George Aruna
fie in the lines that have Taqwa Be on your guard. Right? Against a
day. So you have to acknowledge that there's the yarmulke Yama is
going to happen a day which you will return it back to him. Ah.
Okay, so then after to what's called Lunasin Mac OS, that which
you acquired that which you strove for that what you did that what
you failed to do is this you will be paid in full, everything's
going to be paid and for Mac OS as well homeless youth. And that's
just your actions, is it no one's gonna be wronged.
It's just your actions as a hadith beautiful Hadith.
Hadith Guzzi or Allah says, the meaning of which is that even Adam
It's just your actions. All I do is I enumerate them and I pay you
back for them. But you have what you what's your lesson in San LMS
that you have watch for what you strive for. So if you want to know
if someone wants to know you know, their state, on the on the piano,
look at your state know what, what values do your actions reflect?
What are your priorities? Where do you spend your time? What do you
enjoy to do? What do you enjoy is that that's a reflection of your
state
that's your state on your monthly on
and then he continues on he says next verse says in surah baqarah
and then you have certain he goes on to again it's an it's an it's
an order so certain Ali Imran yeah you will live in ominous be route
for Saul the route are all due to what Maha that I like them to flee
home. Oh, you who believe believers
have fortitude? And
Spiro, somber, fortitude, endurance will fall through. And
vigilance will rob you too. Right. So this is like three degrees,
slobber and then saw there and Robidoux and they say that the
first is the route is that any amount of patience that a person
has? That's the first injunction is spear so
Whatever if someone is having patients that are exercising
patients is that yeah, you live in Middlesbrough that suburb.
And then the second was saw the room. Right?
Is that a saw of you that you mentioned that saw Biru is that
it's not just patients in one thing, but it's it covers the
different types of patients. Because the different types of
patients as patients in avoiding what you avoiding the
prohibitions, there's patients and forcing yourself to do what you
know is in your benefit, even if you don't want to do this patients
have, you know, tribulations and being steadfast. So if someone has
the patient in all those different categories, then that's that's
Samburu.
And then rob you too, is that you have continuous patient patients.
So it's like sober upon sober.
Incense, it's kind of like degrees, almost saying like first
degree, have patients in general sense, second degree of patients
and all of its meanings and third and fourth and secondary and third
degree is that patients upon patients and practical patients,
no. And then what Dr. Maha locum do to flip and again, it all goes
back to really it all goes back to does that have Taqwa of Allah, be
mindful of Allah, Be conscious of Allah? Why? lagoon to free him in
that hopes that you will be successful?
And then the verse continue, and then the next verse that he
quotes?
Yeah, you're learning it or Allah, will it? Or soon, will amendment
come? Is it Oh, you who believe.
Obey Allah,
and obey the messenger.
And obey those of you who are in authority, those of you who are in
authority, and there's obviously a lot of discussion about what does
it mean those of you who are in authority,
but one of the meanings is that people have knowledge, as well.
And they say this is one of the basis for following a math hub.
Because with regards to knowledge, that there are people in
authority, that there are people who studied people who are
qualified. And if you're not in a position of authority, then obey
the people of authority. Now, there's different meanings, but
that's one of the meanings and that's one of the basis for
following without him, for instance. And then Allah says,
What wouldn't I mean, come Fantana Zara twinface Shaitan for do in
Allah hero Sue, in contempt took me noona villa, he will human
after the Alika hide room or Aston Villa, is that if you have a
dispute concerning any matter, was referred back to Allah and His
Messenger, if you are believers in God, and the last day, that is
better and fair and a fairer consequence. And you'll see that,
if you look at the way that was presenting these verses, is that
everything is in our benefit.
It's not, it's just what Toku La La La Quinta, if they don't have
the top of a lot for you, the benefit? Return it if you have a
dispute, return it back to Allah and His messenger. Right. And what
does that mean?
Again, obey those in authority is what's the ruling what that means
was that mean, obviously, we don't have direct access,
in the sense that the companions had direct access to the
messenger. What does that mean? Is that find the legal ruling of the
action? And that's why it's mentioned that everything that a
person does, before they embark upon it, they have to know the
legal ruling of it. Right? Is it permissible? That's good, it's
fine. Is it recommended? That's even better? Is it obligatory? Is
it mcru? Is it disliked? Is it something you should abstain from?
And then finally, is it prohibited? That's them? So
whatever someone does, is that they have to they have to
ascertain the legal ruling
to align with your income.
And then he says that you can hire us and we thought was that that's
a that's better for you is that that is better, and a fairer
consequence. And then a law continues?
He says, in reverse, these are the living Armindo solid How did you
know when FEMA time either either called the new army no Solea,
Hadith and Metallica. Metallica, Willaston Allahu you're humbled,
Marcin. Again, it's all about Taqwa. It says. So.
They say the context specific context behind this verse is that
before wine was prohibited, some of the companions they used to
drink wine before its prey wasn't prohibited, and they passed away.
And they passed away prior to the verse being revealed prohibiting
wine. So the Companions they thought that Okay, so now wine is
prohibited, and they passed away and they didn't make Toba for
I'm drinking wine. So they wondered, you know, are they going
to be?
Are they going to be you know, are they going to be held accountable
for that?
Right for the people who passed away and they haven't made Toba
from drinking wine before it's prohibited. And then Allah answer
that, but it's a general answer as well. And then he says, there's no
blame on those who believe and do good for what they may have eaten.
if again, if they have taqwa, believe and do good works, then
have taqwa and believe, then have taqwa and act with excellence. And
God loves those who act with excellence.
And it's mentioned as well. There's a lot of times in
different traditions, you hear that? You know, people will say
that, Oh, God loves you. We'll just kind of tell anybody on the
street God loves you. And they talk about the love of God.
How does that does that how does that correspond in Islam? Can we
say that can we just kind of tell people that Oh, God loves you? Is
that valid to say
that in general
Allah's Mercy encompasses everything. Once the remedy
condition is Allah's Mercy is all encompassing, encompasses every
everything she could to share, like, literally everything was not
even talking about human beings, saying what every single thing in
existence was that Allah's Mercy encompasses it. However, if you
look at the Quran is Allah's love that it's a station, it's a
special relationship. Right? So the mercy is guaranteed for
everybody, but to acquire Allah's love, that's a special
relationship that you have to embark upon. So Allah is love any
in the law, your hibel were seen in the law, your head was McDuffie
and so if you want that station of Allah's love, then you have to
make an effort for it. And you have to you have to make you have
to develop that relationship. Right and then that relationship
in your head when Marcin and you have been with to clean so it's
not
so so it's not as you know, people you know, Allah's Mercy is one
thing but Allah's love is a special relationship. And then the
next verse, he just quoting verse after verse, And again if we just
contemplated or took one verse that would suffice us he says next
verse
and certain that rough
verses who they are for what more BurgerFi ninja Helene as that
whole to forgiveness partying people and enjoying kindness and
turn away from the ignorance turn away from the jet heating and that
this is what is this is a min which is that this is a
methodology for life. Hold to forgiveness if something happens
to you. Pardon? Don't hold a grudge don't get rich seek
revenge. Just let it be awful forgive them right
enjoying kindness any
one woman or fourth is interesting word
is that the the mount roof
are good deeds general good deeds mount roof. Right? What more than
that roof on her and Linka not roof is just general good deeds.
But where does it come from? It comes from RFR Yeah, reefer, which
is to know,
knowledge, cognition. And interesting. So the word RFI er,
if it's related to Whorf, which is a scent, or if it's a scent, and
it's interesting that there's a strong connection between your
scent and your cognition and your memory. So are often in Earth and
then also Orpheus custom, because when people do something
regularly, they become known for that customer. So it's also Earth
and then Matt roof the idea is that there are certain actions
that regardless of your background, regardless of your
religion even is that you know that those are right actions.
Those are Matt roof and it's they're known do universals. All
of humanity knows these Matt roof. Right? and list them everyone
knows you know, everyone, everyone knows them. They're not roof
they're literally not roof roof literally means known. But it's
the word for my roof is also the word for good actions, good deeds.
Right? So who the life will take hold forgiveness? What more Bill
orphan and command and join us upon yourself upon others?
Goodness, right. Well, real and turn away from from the Johannine
that turn away from those who are ignorant, those who want to
dispute arguments, those who want to, you know, just talk things
that you have no business. You don't need to fight back with
them. This someone says something, and it's controversial. Why do we
have to why do we have to engage with and we've become embroiled in
that net discussion any early on in January and if you see that the
person
He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about, which is, most of
the time, that's the case. They don't know what they're talking,
you could see that. And you know that he doesn't know what he's
talking about. Right? He says something, you might not like it.
But this is the main hatch. This is what we should do it just
ignore it.
Right?
You know, the more angry people are that the more the more
business that different corporations have, that they like
angry people who has responses as I did, like, that gives more, it's
more advertising. But if everyone just any accurate London jacket,
and that's special cases where, you know, people are getting
affected. And that case type we clarify that's different. But in
general, if what you say is not gonna make a difference most of
the time, have you ever seen a dispute? Or a conversation, that
the person at the end actually said, Oh, you're right. And I
think I retract my opinion. And sorry, I've never seen that. So
you have long conversations, but no benefit. So I would not waste
your time. If you see that he's jarhead. Ignorant written on ninja
honey. Now, so look, again, this is the speech of Allah. It's very
comprehensive. How this was implemented.
I mean, those who embody the Quran you'll see this implemented,
obviously, first and foremost, with the prophets. I said them.
So how many times
you know, he forgave people. They mentioned there's the Bedouin man,
very rough character. You know, they come from rough backgrounds,
a desert, not an easy place to live in open desert. And you've
come to the Prophet Sam and he yanked his shawl and yanked his
collar. And you're going left marks on the rough stones neck, on
the Brosnan because he knew who this person was, is his
background, the way he is, is that he? He just smiled. And he asked
for charity. He asked for charity, and the prophet who just gave him
charity, you didn't know if someone else did that wouldn't be
an acceptable, but he saw that this person, you know, or London
Jaden. And they mentioned also say that Omar,
when he was the Khalifa, he had
he had somebody that was working with him. And that person had a
cousin. Or maybe it was an uncle here, it had a relative that he
kept on asking, you know, give me an audience was saying that Omar,
let me have an audience. Let me have I need to speak to saying
that.
You work with him, you have connection. Let me speak to him.
You know, so he kept on pressing him over and over. And finally he
arranged for that relative to meet with saying no. And then when you
met with saying no more I said Yeah, armor is like he said, you
spend your work. Why are you spending your money like this?
Give me some money. You don't even spend justly, like insulted him
basically. You just accuse them of being crass with Umar Umar was he
was very angry. He started to get very angry, he started to get read
and he was very, you know, that's a front to the head of the state.
That's a big thing. And then the, his cousin or his relative, he
recited this verse Isn't he just recited the rest of their life.
What does it take to pardoning what more vigorously and enjoying
goodness while at real London Johannine even though it was a
relative, turn away from those who are ignorant, and then when he
when the man recited that verse, was almost anger just was
completely quieted. He just, he took it just last time.
Right. Nothing
else I mentioned. Again, I think it was saying that back there on
the Imams of nnB they said that she had a servant that was working
in the house, and she brought food
and it was in a clay pot and it was very hot. And she was bringing
it she wasn't careful. As last summer Hala the pot actually fell
on his child
and he passed the child passed away.
You can imagine boiling whatever the food and then
and then obviously you know he was obviously very affected by that
misfortune. And then she the the bonds woman she accorded the
virtue coordinates for her she's in hotel Alpha
she's a tech towards she called this verse don't take too much
partying. So how much I pardon you nothing, not nothing upon you.
What more than that and she said what might be or she won't return
in January and he says Call us I also free you for the sake of
Allah
firstly, pardon her and then one will be earthly and then command
towards good it's called us
not only did you pardon her but he said a free for the sake of Allah.
Well outside London Germany
and then Imam Al Haddad in this conclusion he was actually quite a
lot of verses.
He's continues to call it Darla Mata goofy Shannon, Matt Luqman
whom in the Quran, Allah, Allah, Allah that Lululemon Amylin in
Laguna Alikum shoehorning it to feel Luna feet are my Zuko and
Rebecca
And then myth quality that retin vilardi will have the summit. Well
let us follow him and then he will the acapella
she could add movie, I know this is one of the, the gems of the
Quran
and Imam Ghazali he has a really beautiful book,
pearls and gems of the Quran something around those lines. And
what he does is that he says that there's certain verses that are
like rubies, and certain verses that are like diamonds and certain
verses, and it's a really interesting book, how he presents
it, and says that there's certain verses that are like red sulfur,
or like,
amazing verses, and says that those verses that speak in the
very rare that like scattered, they're kind of scattered, that
speak directly about the essence of ALLAH. So those are like the
red sulfur. They're very, like Mega verses, if you wish, they're
very, very powerful verses like, of course he Right? Or who Allah
will let the law you know, who are the men that I wish I had? Those
verses are like, he has a special terminology. When he's using the
language of jewelry and precious stones, he has a special
terminology for those verses. And
And what's interesting about those verses, so there's a few of them,
there's not, there's not that many, if you think about it, if
you read the Quran, there's not that many verses that kind of
presents, you can say like that, how can you collect that that just
like that marry for of was also very powerful. Right? Let's just
add, of course, see, there's a lot who knew zero sum I walked you
when I was like, the numerous amount why not just go along with
it. But it's interesting. This is my own personal
banana. The second
was that a lot of those verses, quote unquote, mega verses was
that where do you find them? Was that you actually find them in
very legal,
heavy sewers. Right? So So Bacara was a very, there's a lot of,
there's a lot of fifth, there's a lot of legislation, so baccarat
and then boom, that huge verse. I have, of course, also certain nor
there's a lot of gamma, as long as there's a lot of legal rulings in
certain words. And then boom, again, it's almost as if it's out
of nowhere. It's like, like a
and then also certain law like the certain assignments to sir. So
hashtag, there's also it's also like, I can search a hashtag as
well as a Melanie Sora. And then again, there's this mega version.
So I think, perhaps, the idea is that, you know, there's no
contradiction between the Sharia and the Khalifa.
Right? There's no contradiction between law and spirituality.
And in fact, according to the great scholars, Sheikh Mohammed,
Ali, we have Mr. On me, one of the great great Cova
people have not refer is that he said that you find
meaning I'm not, I'm paraphrasing, but he said that, basically,
in the Haqiqa, you find the Sharia. And in the Sharia, you
find the happycar, just like in milk is that there's the potential
for butter, and vice versa.
So it's interesting that those those verses and how powerful they
are. So this is perhaps, you know, this is a very strong verse, and
this is a very, you know, it's, it's a very powerful verse, if you
look at this first, because Allah says, just think about the married
father, like the knowledge of a lot the direct witnessing of
Allah.
And you are not occupied with any matter. Or you recite not of the
Quran, any portion of the Quran, or you perform no act, but we are
witnessing
what you engage yourself in, and not an Adam's Wait, that isn't the
heaven that isn't the Earth or the sky escapes your Lord, nor what is
less than that are greater. But it is in the clear book.
It goes back to you know, the prophets ism, when he was asked
what is sun
on top of the log and the Catarratto for them to Contura,
who in New York is that?
The Prophet Islam he gives the first
the first the highest degree. And then if people are not able to
reach that highest degree, and there's a second degree. So the
first degree
is literally witnessing Allah
and showed witnessing. And that's the idea also behind the Shahada.
When someone takes shahada, or they say their Shahada. The idea
is that the, the truth of the shahada is so clear to you. It's
as if you're witnessing it, right. shahada literally means to witness
if you're going to court, there's the shooters witness. They say I
saw so and so do this. So that's witnessing. So the idea is
that when you take shahada or when you say Shahada is that the truth
are so evident, it's as if you physically witness them.
And that's why shahada and then, so the first level of the exam
that the Prophet him said he's an interpreter lock and Nicotero is
that you worship Allah as if you see him.
So you could imagine what would someone's worship be like, if as
if they saw Allah
very
deep speech, and then fit them to Contura and if you're not able to
do that, if not able to worship him as if you can see him
in no Iraq, then you know, that he sees you and this and that's the
makan. Of maraca, a witnessing of vigilance is that being conscious
that Allah sees that sees us and that this is what the source is
that and you are not occupied with any matter
or recite any portion of the Quran anything or perform any act so
look at how Allah phrases it you're not occupied in any matter
as in any any matter this as generalist can be anything in your
life you're at work anything in your life any matter whatsoever,
or specifically recite a portion of the Quran or do any perform any
act, but that we are witnessing what you engage yourself in
and then and then not an Adam's weight that isn't the Earth or the
sky escapes your Lord.
These are
verses that you know this idea of maraca and Masha had witnessing
and being conscious of Allah's witnessing of us these are
foundations for for these for these practices and for these for
these meetings right there in the park.
And they mentioned Imam Junaid in my head.
They really align who is that? His uncle, Sarah Sokrati. He said that
when he was a young man,
he was young boy and his uncle's he called him and obviously his
uncle could see that he had he was a special person that he would
have a shine that he would have, you know, he would be someone in
the future. And he said, I'll teach you three words. And that
you say these three words before you sleep at night. And then he
says before, don't don't sleep until you said it's three words
and it says Allahu Maui. Say every time you go to bed that Allah is
with me. What Allah who now they don't really and that Allah sees
me. Well, Allah who if I'm not mistaken, alone, and then yes,
either Allah hears me, Allah sees me as long as with me something
around those, those three general meanings, right. And what he was
doing that he was installing this maraca in in the middle of June 8.
And he said remember Junaid, he goes on to say that I benefited so
proud he said that I never left this I practice this action. He
never left that practice. And he said I benefited I benefited from
these three simple statements for my whole life. And he said based
on those three statements they think okay the meaning and him
they said any more I'll say to market that I haven't never openly
disobeyed Allah ever. Because if someone has you know we're far
away from these meanings may not give us topic but if someone has
market that they're not going to open the there's availa they might
make a mistake. But you know if someone's if you're being if
there's a recording if they're watching you that you act
different
now and then you continue in the versus continuing I'm headed in
this conclusion.
He says we'll call it Darla when can you read they'll hire to dunya
was Xena hat pneumophila him Atmel home v hat or homefree Allah Yuba
Hassan. So he says that
those who desire the life of the world and its pomp its glory, its
zenith adornments, we shall repay them their deeds in it. And they
will not be they will not be wrong.
And then you continues.
And then on the verse of say, Yusuf, so the Prophet Yusuf says,
well, that will never be enough. See in the next seal, Amara de
Bisou Allameh Rahima rugby in the reveal for Raheem. I'll just read
the verses. So then I read them in English. I'll call it Darla. Hola.
Hola, then uniqa Isla mama Tottenham Biggie as long as you
have been home. Well, that doesn't leave him off with Jenna haka mini
wallet or in alarm. I live in a taco while living homage to noon
with all the data from uncanny or Julie rugby for Armand Saleh.
Anyone that you think about is rugby.
It's not a vs. So then he says that profit I do not exculpate I
do not vindicate myself. Indeed, the soul insights to evil.
Alright, save where my Lord has mercy, Burundi. My Lord is indeed
forgiving and compassionate. And that Allah says
Stream not your eyes towards that which we cause some pears among
them to enjoy and be not grieved on their account and lower your
wing to the believers and alomost life says, God is indeed with
those who have Taqwa and those who act excellently. Those two things
if all we had was taqwa, and Hassan, that's all we need.
And again, it all boils down to this meaning of tequila. And
there's different definitions or meanings of tequila. But
essentially,
tequila is to, to be where you have been commanded to be, and to
abstain, or to be removed from where, who you have commanded not
to be. So it's essentially you're aware of a law. You have that
neuropathy that you have that you're you're vigilant, you know,
that Allah sees you. And then based on that understanding, based
on that knowledge, is that you simply perform, what's obligatory,
and you abstain from what's haram.
And then there's degrees you can increase in goodness, and
supererogatory deeds, but essentially, essential Taqwa is
just you perform the obligatory components, and that you abstain
from what's haram. Out of consciousness of Allah. I know
that this is haram. I know that Allah is I know that this is
disobedience. I know that's prohibited.
Whether I want to do it or not. I'm going to abstain from it. That
stuff.
And then there's degrees. When they say the first, there's
different degrees of typography. The first degree of Taqwa is when
a person abstains from Cofer and shirt. In other words when they're
not Muslim, and they embrace Islam. That's the first degree of
Taqwa. And then the second degree is that someone who didn't raise
their Muslim and they abstain from the major sins, the major sins,
the kabylia, the enormous sins, and that they make Toba from those
sins. That's another degree of Taqwa. And then there's Taqwa with
regards to different sins,
from the state of sin, to obedience, that's Taqwa. And then
there's even higher levels where they're stuck off from things that
they might not be prohibited in of themselves, but they're
distractions.
So, avoiding those distractions because they take you into law
flow. Right? That's a higher degree of Tacoma. And this seems
like a higher, even higher degree of Taqwa. Is that like Taco
Massey, Willa, is that anything that affects your dhikr of a lot
at any moment, is abstaining. Standing from that.
And it all really boils down again to Taqwa. And that what we'll see
in a living, as we'll see, yeah, like the advice of Allah, that
Allah says, We'll see it for those before you and for you all, and it
Takoma was that to have to have
a lot of the Mauritanian scholars
that they, when you ask them for advice, when you say I give you
the advice that Allah Most High advised himself, just have Taqwa
of Allah. So this is we have to think about this deeply. And then
how do we
how do we manifest that? How do we inculcate the Tacoma?
A lot of it,
you know, preparing if you're traveling. And you know, you're
preparing your Salawat for example, that's from Taqwa of
Allah, that you know you're going to be in different time zone or
different circumstances. So you work it out before you travel.
Right? How am I gonna perform I will do things like that, that's
from the top of Allah. Preparing Ramadan is from the Tacoma, the
and then we have to continue with it. We'll just end with these
we'll finish this page of verses, read them quite quickly. And then
you continue and that continues to quote these verses, he says,
got allies and dealing with those with taqwa and those who act
excellently excellently, he Exalted is He also says, Whoever
hopes for the meeting of his Lord, let him do good works, and
associate no one with a lot and worship. He exalted as he also
says, and enjoin upon your family worship, and be constantly there
in.
We ask you for no provision we provide for you. And the end
result the sequel is for the people of Taqwa. Allah says, Do
you think that we created you for nothing, and that to us, You shall
not return? And he exalted as he also says, those who strive in us,
we shall surely guide them to our paths, Indeed, God is with those
who act excellently. And he exalted as he and the word is each
month is mangia Haider. Jihad
was the verse and such
and under the new jacket
whether the ninja had Rufina.
Now, whether the Jahad Rufina and this first was revealed
Before it was revealed in Mecca,
before you know the actual physical Jihad was legislated. So
we use the word jihad in the context of uj, to Fina, that those
who strive in us that we will guide them to our paths. And that
shows you that the default is that it's rectifying. You know what,
according to that hadith, Jihad Akbar is that you had of your
nests. And if you don't have that, then there's no other meanings.
That's the default. They're not negating other manifestations, but
that's the default.
No.
And he says, we offer the trust to the heavens and the earth and the
mountains, and they refuse to bear it and shrank from it, but man
assumed it surely he is ever unjust and ignorant. And he
exalted as he also says, the esteemed not God as his as is his
right. The whole earth is in His hand on the day of rising, and the
heavens shall be rolled up in his right hand, Transcendent is He and
Exalted above that which the partner and he exalted as he also
says, or do those who work Ill deeds, suppose that we shall make
them as those who believe and do good works, equal in life and
death. evil indeed is the judgment and he tar that says, Oh, you who
believe fear God, and let each soul look to what it sends ahead
for the more for tomorrow? Fear Allah, He is indeed aware of what
you do. And he exalted as he says, Oh, you who believe turn Unto
Allah in repentance, this is the last verse that he quotes says,
and with this Yeah, you will

Gardens underneath which rivers flow on that day when God will not
let down the Prophet and those who believe with him. Now, remember,
when the teachers my teachers, when they have even more others to
say this first they would also any man
who not with him, they would really emphasize any of those who
are in the with him? With the prophets of Allah I hope that
Allah will not disgrace those who believe and with the Prophet,
those who are not who believe with him, their light will will run
before them and on the right hands and what will their do I be Oh
Allah, will Lord complete our lights for us and forgive us you
are able to do all things. So we ask a lot
