via

00:00:11 --> 00:00:12

cinema decom

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

excuse me, so how mighty can one of them to live at a Katya

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala

00:00:22 --> 00:00:28

Rasulillah. While earlier he was so happy woman, why Allah, Masada

00:00:28 --> 00:00:32

to botica Allah we have reached the ninth interact of Quranic

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

recitation. And I think at this point it's good for us to review

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

the previous eight. So the first was realizing the greatness of the

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

Divine speech.

00:00:44 --> 00:00:48

The second was exalting the one speaking,

00:00:49 --> 00:00:52

the third was maintaining presence of heart.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:57

The fourth was contemplating

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

the fifth was striving to understand.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:05

The sixth was avoiding the preventatives of understanding.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:12

The seventh was applying the Quranic address to oneself. The

00:01:12 --> 00:01:18

eight was being affected by the various verses that one recites,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

and now we've reached number nine.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:25

What do you remember was the titles up to Rocky, translated as

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

ascending in degrees of recitation?

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

The these 10 interacts aquatic recitation are extremely useful.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

And if we bring them into our lives, it will clearly change our

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

relationship with the Quran for the better it will enhance it and

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

make it much much more profound.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

And so this ninth interact of Quranic recitation, he explains

00:01:54 --> 00:01:59

why he be I mean by that, and yet Taraka Isla and yesterday I had

00:01:59 --> 00:02:07

Kurama and Allah is that we ascend an otter via recitation, until we

00:02:07 --> 00:02:14

hear that Kedem the speech from Allah azza wa jal Lamin FC in No

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

longer do we even hear from our own selves, for the digital karate

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

thorough so he's going to say that degrees of recitation are three,

00:02:24 --> 00:02:29

at Na, the lowest of the three, which is still good, of course,

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

but again, he always likes to give us these hierarchies. So we can

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

assess where we're at, and we can work towards what is higher. And

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

all of this is based upon the principle of the spiritual path.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:48

Not being content with yourself is the secret to progression. You

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

cannot progress if you're content with where you're at. I demoted on

00:02:52 --> 00:02:58

enough's the spiritual path is built upon lack of contentment,

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

contentment with yourself, you can always do better, you can always

00:03:03 --> 00:03:07

rise in degree and this is what we want to do. Day in and day out,

00:03:07 --> 00:03:11

put in more in more and more effort. So we are constantly

00:03:11 --> 00:03:15

drawing nearer to Allah data constantly ascending and rank

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15

spiritually.

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

So the least of the three and your club Darrell Abduch no Jaco Allah

00:03:21 --> 00:03:29

Allahu taala. That the servant brings to mind it is as if that he

00:03:29 --> 00:03:34

is reading the book of Allah to Adam before Allah Tada. Walk if

00:03:34 --> 00:03:39

and venia day standing before him will hold on all the don't delay

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

bringing to mind that Allah is gazing upon Him will must

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

stimulate on men who and it hears him

00:03:47 --> 00:03:52

for your corner hello and the head taqdeer. So what is the heart?

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

What is the state of the one reciting when he brings this to

00:03:55 --> 00:04:01

mind? Uh, so Al, this is the station of asking Allah, what

00:04:01 --> 00:04:07

terminal look, imploring him at tadagra, beseeching him while

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

empty while turning to him, with everything that one has these

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

different meanings of SOA to maloca dadada and MTR and Arabic

00:04:15 --> 00:04:20

all point to this interstate of recognizing one's need before

00:04:20 --> 00:04:25

Allah subhana wa Tada turning to him petitioning him asking him

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

requesting from him Subhana wa Tada. So this is the least of the

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

three degrees and this is of course a great degree.

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

And this is something that you and I can all do. And as you can see,

00:04:37 --> 00:04:41

it goes hand in hand with those first two etiquettes that Iman was

00:04:41 --> 00:04:45

that he spoke about IE realizing the greatness of divine speech and

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

exalting the one speaking because when you do that you could bring

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

to mind that you are sitting before Allah are standing before

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

Allah. And as you read his book, you bring to mind that he sees

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

you. This is vigilant.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:06

And this is the first degree of sun. Finland to contour off in

00:05:06 --> 00:05:11

your rock in your rock you bring to mind that he sees you maraca

00:05:11 --> 00:05:17

vigilance we all can do this. And the more that we do this, the more

00:05:17 --> 00:05:21

that it will lead us to the next degree. So we bring to mind that

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

we are standing or sitting before Allah subhanho wa Taala and we're

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

reading his book

00:05:27 --> 00:05:28

at Danya the second degree

00:05:30 --> 00:05:35

and yes had to be Academy he can not have blue eyes oh gel, your

00:05:35 --> 00:05:39

aha will you healthy will be toffee while you Neji he'd be an

00:05:39 --> 00:05:40

army where Sunny

00:05:42 --> 00:05:48

is that we witness in our hearts is as if ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada

00:05:48 --> 00:05:56

sees him. And Allah addresses him and ALLAH and he that Allah is

00:05:56 --> 00:06:02

that conversing with him intimately with his bestow of

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

blessings in his giving of good.

00:06:06 --> 00:06:11

So this is a higher state. The first state is where we just

00:06:11 --> 00:06:15

imagine that we're standing before Allah and Allah sees us. But now

00:06:16 --> 00:06:20

more than that, the higher state is we bring to heart that Allah

00:06:20 --> 00:06:24

Tabata cortada sees us and really he says here in Yeshua that this

00:06:24 --> 00:06:26

is a state now of witnessing

00:06:28 --> 00:06:32

and that Allah is addressing us individually

00:06:33 --> 00:06:38

subhanho wa Taala b l toffee, that with the manifestations of His

00:06:38 --> 00:06:44

gentleness, well you know G cannot abou as a euro will you hearty

00:06:44 --> 00:06:49

will will you know G be an M here Sonny and Allah Tada is that

00:06:49 --> 00:06:53

addressing him and intimately conversing with him with his an

00:06:53 --> 00:06:59

ominous sign, anonymous giving them blessings and son is giving

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

of herself giving them good.

00:07:02 --> 00:07:06

And so at this stage, when we bring to heart that Allah Tada is

00:07:06 --> 00:07:13

addressing us, every letter, every word, every i We react, reciting

00:07:13 --> 00:07:16

the Quran, we're bringing to heart that Allah is dressing us directly

00:07:17 --> 00:07:18

subhanaw taala

00:07:21 --> 00:07:24

and he says, this is the MACOM This is the station of Herat,

00:07:24 --> 00:07:32

where we are modest before Allah. And we have this is the station of

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

Tao theme, where we exalt Allah. This is the dish station of Islam,

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

where we listen attentively and carefully. And this is the station

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

FM, where we tried to understand the meaning of what Allah has

00:07:46 --> 00:07:48

conveyed to us when we recite.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

So you can see how this is a higher stage than the first stage

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

because now he says here, it's not your other that he brings to mind

00:07:57 --> 00:08:02

this is in yesh head we have to be he witnesses in his heart. So this

00:08:02 --> 00:08:07

is a higher stage. And he witnesses that Allah is speaking

00:08:07 --> 00:08:08

to him directly.

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

And this is why this station is one of feeling modest before

00:08:13 --> 00:08:19

Allah, lower in oneself and having Talim and exaltation of Allah and

00:08:19 --> 00:08:23

listening very carefully in understanding what is he has been

00:08:23 --> 00:08:24

addressed with.

00:08:25 --> 00:08:30

And then the third stage and your awful column and what the column

00:08:31 --> 00:08:37

is that he sees the one speaking in the speech. Well, Phil Kenny,

00:08:37 --> 00:08:44

Matt SIFAT, and he sees in the words, the divine attributes,

00:08:44 --> 00:08:49

Fernando Reynosa he, he doesn't look at his own self, Wallah,

00:08:49 --> 00:08:54

Iraq, you know it, nor to see notice his own recitation, wala

00:08:54 --> 00:09:00

talaga, then ambi amvi. Notice he looked at how the giver of

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

blessings is giving blessings to him how he relates to those

00:09:03 --> 00:09:08

blessings, men heighth and Holman it from the standpoint of him

00:09:08 --> 00:09:13

receiving those blessings. Value Khun McSorely Hamedan Mata cada

00:09:14 --> 00:09:21

his sole concern is the one speaking the multicolumn mo COVID

00:09:21 --> 00:09:21

Figure it

00:09:23 --> 00:09:28

all of his thoughts about anything else stops and Noma Stover UK the

00:09:28 --> 00:09:32

Moshe had it in Malta, Kenema and rain he, as if that he is

00:09:32 --> 00:09:37

completely consumed with witnessing the one speaking such

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

that he doesn't notice anything else. Well, I had the he does it

00:09:41 --> 00:09:46

in Mocha being and this is of course the degree of those who are

00:09:46 --> 00:09:52

close to Allah. And so on one hand when we read this, we need to be

00:09:52 --> 00:09:55

careful to think that it's just fun to talk about and interesting

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

to talk about when we're bereft of it. And obviously that's not why

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

we read it.

00:10:01 --> 00:10:09

On the other hand, by knowing that it exists, it causes us to want it

00:10:09 --> 00:10:15

that and hope for it, and ideally start to work towards it. And you

00:10:15 --> 00:10:18

could add to that love those whom this is their rank.

00:10:19 --> 00:10:22

And he says, well malerkotla had said to us what you mean.

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

And what precedes before it in ranks are the Stations of the

00:10:29 --> 00:10:33

people have the right. And he says anything less than these three

00:10:33 --> 00:10:38

degrees might be considered to be from the data set that often mean

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

these people are in a state of heedlessness. And then he quotes a

00:10:42 --> 00:10:46

statement of Imam Jaffa and Muhammad Asad duck, Allahu Anhu.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:51

Who speaks about this data till earlier this great rank, he says

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

will lie. Lakota Gela lower as urgently Halki he can ama well I

00:10:56 --> 00:11:04

can now use Zoom. By Allah. Allah has manifested Himself to His

00:11:04 --> 00:11:09

creation, through his words, but they are not aware.

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

Allah has manifested Himself to His creation through his words,

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

but they are not aware.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:23

And this is why they say is that the greatest weird of all, after

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

the weird of praying the five daily prayers, the greatest word

00:11:26 --> 00:11:29

of all is the subtle water pumps. Because awareness is something

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

that you do habitually, time and time again. And the five daily

00:11:33 --> 00:11:39

prayers are weird. And no one can say that they are taking the

00:11:39 --> 00:11:44

spiritual path seriously. If they don't pray the five daily prayers

00:11:45 --> 00:11:50

in the right time with all of the requisite etiquettes that is the

00:11:50 --> 00:11:53

greatest word of all is the word of the five daily prayers and

00:11:53 --> 00:11:57

after that, other than the obligatory words, it's recitation

00:11:57 --> 00:12:00

of the Quran is the greatest word. Because the recitation of the

00:12:00 --> 00:12:00

Quran

00:12:02 --> 00:12:05

and email was that he already spoke about that statement where

00:12:05 --> 00:12:06

he said,

00:12:07 --> 00:12:11

You not considered to be a modied ie someone who wants closest to

00:12:11 --> 00:12:16

Allah to Allah, unless you find in the Quran, everything to read

00:12:16 --> 00:12:17

everything you want.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:23

And so we need to learn Allah's book and establish a relationship

00:12:23 --> 00:12:30

with it. We'll call it Elon. So he also said, Who Imam Jaffa Rosada?

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

Well, God said earlier and had a 10 law Hekla to the salah. When

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

some people asked him about a state that overtook him while he

00:12:38 --> 00:12:43

was in prayer had to hit it emotionally until he fell down

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

having lost consciousness for the most soldier and when he regained

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

consciousness, Gita la vida Attica and they asked him what had

00:12:51 --> 00:12:56

happened for call muzzle to aura doodle I, I continue to repeat the

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

verse Allah kalbi and my heart had to submit to Him and and with the

00:13:00 --> 00:13:06

academy behind until I heard it from the one who was had spoken it

00:13:06 --> 00:13:11

for number three, but just mainly why I ended up dirty my physical

00:13:11 --> 00:13:17

body did not remain in place when I witnessed his power. Now Illa

00:13:17 --> 00:13:22

Had Allah will be method how the data Lama Halawa Allah determinada

00:13:22 --> 00:13:31

and at this stage, the sweetness becomes greater and the pleasure

00:13:31 --> 00:13:35

of the intimate conversation increases. This is where the Quran

00:13:36 --> 00:13:41

a law it becomes very sweet. Where this is all they want to do is

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

recite the book of Allah subhanho wa Tada

00:13:44 --> 00:13:49

and one of them said, going to Akbar Al Quran. Farah Abdullah

00:13:49 --> 00:13:50

Hello Halawa 10.

00:13:51 --> 00:13:53

He says that I used to recite the Quran.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:59

And at first I wasn't, it wasn't sweet. I wasn't finding sweetness

00:13:59 --> 00:14:03

when I was reciting it had to load the hook and the smell man

00:14:03 --> 00:14:08

Rasulullah sallallahu Sana, until I recited it, as if that I'm

00:14:08 --> 00:14:12

hearing it from the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam.

00:14:13 --> 00:14:17

And I brought to mind that as if that he was through a hobby, he

00:14:17 --> 00:14:22

was reciting it to his companions. So I brought to mind that I'm

00:14:22 --> 00:14:26

hearing the Quran being recited as if I'm hearing it from the

00:14:26 --> 00:14:30

prophets I sent him that reciting it to the Companions.

00:14:31 --> 00:14:36

And then he says to motor factory Mr. Common volcko Then I was

00:14:36 --> 00:14:40

raised to a degree above it for quantity at the LUCA Aeneas Roman

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

Jubilee Elisa. Then I used to recite it as if that I'm hearing

00:14:44 --> 00:14:51

it from Gabriel Isley center, UK yada so dilla as ever he is that

00:14:51 --> 00:14:55

giving it to the Prophet so I set him up he literally casting it,

00:14:56 --> 00:15:00

and because the revelation of the call came through the archangel

00:15:00 --> 00:15:04

Gabrielle so much Allah women zealots and Ohara that a lot out

00:15:04 --> 00:15:08

of blustering with another degree, funnel and a smart woman and what

00:15:08 --> 00:15:13

they can envy now is that I'm hearing it from the one speaking

00:15:13 --> 00:15:18

to me for and to how to lead that and when I am in a Speedo, and

00:15:19 --> 00:15:25

when I recite it now, I find such a great pleasure and joy, that I'm

00:15:25 --> 00:15:31

unable to be patient without it. Like I, whenever I'm not reciting

00:15:31 --> 00:15:34

I'm not patient to not be in a state of rotation. I want to get

00:15:34 --> 00:15:35

right back to it.

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

And both say North amendment I found and seen her they felt

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

Rhodiola and Emma they said, Lo Tada to gloob were the hearts to

00:15:44 --> 00:15:49

become pure LEM Tish Patman. Clara did Quran, they would never become

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

satiated from the rest of the court recitation of Aquinas, ie,

00:15:53 --> 00:15:56

they would never become bored. They will never get sick of it. I

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

was a biller and even saying that sounds so coarse, to say that

00:16:00 --> 00:16:04

someone's bored of recitation or to say that someone is that sick

00:16:04 --> 00:16:09

of the biller. But the heart and enough is real, and you have to

00:16:09 --> 00:16:12

purify the enough so that the heart becomes pure, and then it

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

enjoys its recitation.

00:16:15 --> 00:16:20

Know when I'm out holla daddy Kalina habit taharah Terokkar ADA

00:16:20 --> 00:16:24

Moshe had the Moto Kenefick Can Am they said that's because it is

00:16:24 --> 00:16:29

through taharah it is through purity of heart that a servant is

00:16:29 --> 00:16:32

raised into a good degree to the degree where they're actually

00:16:32 --> 00:16:37

witnessing the ones speaking in the speech. What do you that?

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

Ricotta? Thaba to do Bonanni This is why the early ascetic and Imam

00:16:41 --> 00:16:46

Saboten Munna Annie Kabataan Qurani Shalina Sana Latina am to

00:16:46 --> 00:16:50

be issued in the center. I worked hard and struggled to recite the

00:16:50 --> 00:16:56

Quran for 20 years. And then I enjoyed its recitation for 20

00:16:56 --> 00:17:01

years and found great pleasure in it will be Moshe Headington with

00:17:01 --> 00:17:05

the Kendall Jenner masu how you quoted in India Cody, he and his

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

when someone reaches this state, where they are witnessing the ones

00:17:09 --> 00:17:10

speaking,

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

and they've turned away from all us all else, is that the servant

00:17:15 --> 00:17:19

will be putting into practice the words of Allah subhanaw taala

00:17:19 --> 00:17:24

fulfill rule in a law and flee to Allah.

00:17:25 --> 00:17:31

Fulfill ruin Allah, Flee to Allah. And this has a number of different

00:17:31 --> 00:17:34

meanings. And when was that is pointing to the highest of them.

00:17:35 --> 00:17:41

So when you say fulfill ru, il Allah, so flee Unto Allah. Flee to

00:17:41 --> 00:17:49

Allah. From disbelief to belief, Flee to Allah, from disobedience

00:17:50 --> 00:17:57

to obedience, Flee to Allah, from heedlessness to wakefulness, Flee

00:17:57 --> 00:18:02

to Allah, ie flee to his remembrance from all else Flee to

00:18:02 --> 00:18:07

Allah. And when someone is witnessing the one speaking, they

00:18:07 --> 00:18:11

will be fleeing to Allah and the highest meaning. What do you call

00:18:11 --> 00:18:16

the heat the other Wallah Taj Mahal, Allahu Akbar, and do not

00:18:17 --> 00:18:23

set up a another god was ALLAH. From Allah Mira horrifically che

00:18:23 --> 00:18:29

for Katara raidho. So if we're not witnessing Allah, in the divine

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

impact upon creation in everything, then we're noticing

00:18:33 --> 00:18:37

otherness, we'll call him intimidated Absu Allah Tata Tata

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

motive attache, Manisha good Javi and with those who is the higher

00:18:41 --> 00:18:47

degrees of spiritual witnessing, if we are noticing other things,

00:18:47 --> 00:18:53

then necessarily we are exposed to committing subtle forms of shuck.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:59

And that what we want ultimately is to move up in degrees of that

00:18:59 --> 00:19:02

ala Han Allah Muhammad Rasul Allah, La ilaha illa. And it's

00:19:02 --> 00:19:05

foundational meaning nothing deserves to be worship except

00:19:05 --> 00:19:09

Allah. But if you move up in degree, la isla Han Allah Allah

00:19:09 --> 00:19:14

Matsuda Allah, anything is that we do. We don't intend anything other

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

than Allah and to draw nearer to him, and then a higher degree of

00:19:17 --> 00:19:21

Laila Had Allah, lamb or do Illallah nothing truly exists

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

except Allah. And then a higher degree La Ilaha illa Allah, La

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

Metro did Allah, nothing is witnessed except ALLAH, these are

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

degrees of Lila had a line for those who reach the higher degrees

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

even though it's not sure in the way that we normally think of it

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

being that sin that it's the only sin that Allah Tada doesn't

00:19:38 --> 00:19:43

forget. But this is degrees of spiritual progression. But at

00:19:43 --> 00:19:47

towheaded Hollis, a layer of equally che Illa Allah azza wa

00:19:47 --> 00:19:53

jal, and that the highest degree of unadulterated monotheism,

00:19:53 --> 00:19:58

belief and the Divine unity is to only see a lot in everything in

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

everything doesn't mean that

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

There's indwelling there's no hurdle. It doesn't mean that

00:20:03 --> 00:20:06

there's union and doesn't mean that Allah exists in his creation.

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

No, we negate that. But what it means is that you witnessed the

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

divine impact upon creation. And this is not done with the

00:20:12 --> 00:20:16

Auckland. It's not done with the mind. This is done with the club

00:20:16 --> 00:20:22

is done with the heart. Because the heart is the place of marriage

00:20:23 --> 00:20:24

of Gnosis.

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

The heart is the locus of knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:20:30 --> 00:20:32

May Allah to work with our blessings to move up in the ranks

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36

of recitation, and we let that give us immense benefits. And this

00:20:36 --> 00:20:40

month, Dr. Hamid Amin was to be able to recite his book in a way

00:20:40 --> 00:20:43
