Right.
Drawing close to him is the treaties of Allama to dunya.
That's his nickname, which literally means the greatest
scholar in the world. The mom, mom and Abdullah, Bill fucking titled
Opening the insight of our brethren.
And so what if you see the English translation on the front here it
says the spheres,
Islam, Imam Hassan and they had fun.
And
that, that's one of the ways that it's known. But that's actually
that's actually the subtitle.
And the main title is fat herd Bissau. One,
which literally means that opening the inner sight of our brothers,
right, so that you don't title a book
in any way other than what you essentially wrote that book to do.
So the whole purpose of this book is thought, which is the idea of
open fat to high lifter, who for 10, is to open.
And then you have the word balsa,
which is the player of basura.
And the word basalt and Arabic is for your physical sight.
And then we're Sierra, is for your inner sight.
And so that this book is written to open the inner side of the
horn,
and that no political sense, are looked up real quickly. We're not
talking about the while in Egypt, or any type of ideology or
anything like that. Just kidding.
But nowadays, even say the word f1. Or even say the word
Hezbollah, people all of a sudden think of these names and have
political affiliations. But the Hezbollah we all want to be from
Hezbollah don't quote that I noticed we live streamed and
people take these snippets a lot in the Hezbollah, Allah to Allah
says, it's about the people of Allah, the party of Allah.
This is what we all want to be filmed, but in the correct way, in
a way that is beloved to Allah, and the Messenger of Allah.
Anyhow, that the Quran here means his brother and his brothers. And
so he essentially wrote this for his brothers in the spiritual
path.
And this is the beauty is that we're all in reality brothers and
sisters, in many ways, in very real race, even though we have
different mothers and fathers is that we're all brothers and
sisters in humanity, every single one of us as a common ancestor, in
a very real way, that we all know that
but then there's a special type of brotherhood that comes from those
who enter into Islam.
And that everyone that who believes the same as you but your
brother, and from the blessing of Allah still to this day, this is
intact.
Why is it that Muslims that tend to send set arms to each other
wherever they might see each other in airports all over the world?
People you know, people you don't know. They see on the sunset, I'm
like,
and this is a blessing from Allah to Allah. And this is something
that brings great joy to the heart.
And then you have that in the most specific sense. So you have
brothers and sisters in humanity, brothers and sisters in faith. And
then you have brothers in
Sisters in the spiritual path.
And so that when you have fellow brothers and fellow sisters that
are taking the spiritual path seriously. And this might or might
mean that you actually have the same chemical or spiritual path,
you can have a different spiritual path. That's not what it's about.
What it means is, is that you are concerned about drawing near to
Allah. And anyone who has that same concern that your brother or
your sister, and that we have to look out for them. And that way,
spiritually, the way that we will look out for our actual brothers
and sisters, and so forth. And so
this is why he wrote this book. And as we will see, it has other
titles as well. And so one of the things that let's all stop and
just do right now is to make strong intentions is that nothing
is preventing us from having this happened to us from reading this
book.
Allah has called it adequately che, my teachers would always say,
a sappy Maki, the one who's spiritually irrigated, the people
who came before, remain subhanaw taala. Allah is everlasting. These
are how European they can give to whoever he wants, whatever he
wants Supreme Court data. And so Let's all make a strong intention
from the blessing of exposing ourselves to the sacred ladies is
that this is what happens is that there's a threat at the level of
the Sierra
and that we have to help book in realization of iman, s&m and sang.
And then he includes this fourth sphere, which is one of edifying,
which is knowing Allah subhanho wa taala.
So the subtitle of it is, it is a shutter, an explanation of the
Dawa era.
So the word Delilah data Your duty is to circulate, it's to go in a
circle and make that unit is a circle.
And it could actually be a circle that you like, draw on the ground,
like a circle.
Or it could be that used metaphorically. So you say that
that person's in my dad. Well, they're in my inner circle, even
say that in English and my inner circle
are in my inner group.
And is that the profits have been derived, the Oriental Salehi have
their derived and this is this is where we want to be, we want to be
with the righteous, and that we want to be with them and we want
to be close to them. But the word Dieter was when Linda it's fear.
And so one of the ways of looking at it is that you could refer to
it as like concentric circles.
And really what it is that it's three dimensional.
When you speak about Iman and cinnamon Ersan it's three
dimensional,
not just two dimensional, in order to that really fully be a believer
is that you have to have all of these different elements, there
will be incomplete, you'll be flat, you're gonna be one or two
dimensions only, what we want is all three.
And that another way of looking at it,
if we think of them as concentric circles
is that each one gets deeper and deeper.
And so that this is why that some of them say when they refer to the
the heart, and then the rear. And then the center
that three terms that relate to our inner being the heart, of
course, is the club. The rule, of course, is the spirit. And the set
is the animal secret that some of them refer to it, like layers,
almost like an A, that scent like peel appearing like that layers
that you peel off and it gets deeper. So you have like the outer
husk, and you have like the outer shell, and then you have like the
kernel or the nut. And then you have if you press that nut that
you get oil, like different or you could think of as like peeling an
onion that you take off a layer and then there's another layer a
take off that layer when there's another layer and so forth. And so
that is it's different degrees of that mirrors of our of our
enormous moon. So
this is why he wrote this was for this purpose. Is it so that you
and I can actualize our email or cinema sun and then start to
experience at a fun. Now before we actually get into the work.
I wanted to just speak a little bit about have you ever been
available for key
He was one of the great Imams of Islam. And he's not very well
known outside of the Arabian Peninsula.
But within the Arabian Peninsula, he's very well known.
And that he is of prophetic lineage. So for those of you that
have the book that you can see, he lists his lineage there.
And every single one of his father's back to the Prophet
sallallahu sallam
was not only from a helpmate, obviously, that's his lineage. But
there were all scholars, and they were all earlier, every single one
of them
right back to the cylinder.
And you have in his story, this beautiful glimpse
into traditional society.
And that tells us a little bit about how people used to live and
what it is that they used to deem to be important.
And I personally believe that these glimpses into traditional
society, in terms of when we read stories of the righteous, but
also, when we visit the remnants of these beautiful traditional
societies in the Muslim world, which are still there, they're
still there to this day. And for those of us that were just blessed
to going to Morocco, you see the vestiges in Fez that you see the
traces that are left of these great people, and what it is that
they did and what they left behind. And I always remember one
of the amazing things about being with traditional scholars, and
sitting before them and being in these traditional environments, is
that everything is crystal clear.
Everything is clear, you know exactly what life is about.
There's no ambiguity, you know exactly what you have to do in the
beginning of the day, to the end of the day, you know, what you
have to do at various stages of your life. And that, I was used to
wonder why sometimes, they were a little bit strict on some people
that kind of started going astray. And it just became clear to me
that it's very different, like in our society, where so many people
are confused. There's actually a lot of people that want to be
religious, but they just don't know how. It's very different. But
they're, everybody knows. And increasingly, they're getting
confused too. But in general, people know you're either
following the straight path or not. There's not allowed
ambiguity. People knew exactly what is it you have to do to be
good. And then some people choose not to do it, and they've got no
story. There's very few people in between, either like this or like
that. I'm generalizing. But that was very much my experience, not
just in more detail here but also in testing and in other places. So
I've
been I've been there his family name is Bill fucky. One of the
famous families of the center but other than
that, go back to the son of enthalpy and macadam, whose name
is Ahmed xenophobia macadam, Mohammed bin it binary,
the greatest imam of the boundary where he was born in the UK 574
and passed him your 653
and he had five sons
and that one of them was named as Akhmed. He's always admitted
Shaheed is that he used to ask a lot all the time to die. Shaheed,
that was his goal in life was to die Shaheed and one time that when
there was a very heavy rain, and the flash flood came, that swept
him away, he actually drowned. And he's buried
about 20 minutes 25 minutes outside of TuneIn because the
flash flood took him all the way to this city called Custom. And to
this day, but he's very there
was other families like the Jeffrey family, they'll go back to
accommodating and forgiving Mikado and a number of others
said his family had been forgetting
that they are especially known for knowledge, especially in the later
period is that they had a lot of irlam up that amendment.
And so he was born in the year 1089
of the Hijra.
Okay, so that's 1678. So it's always funny in my mind when you
think about that, like, how he's actually considered to be from the
Matatini like from the later scholars. Whereas if you think
about our society, what was happening in the United States of
America in 1678.
Right, that was a lot like what was happening here.
Yes, that you had some colonies, but it was 100 years roughly
before the United States even became a country
and that he's doing what
The same way that his ancestors were doing for centuries.
So he was born into being in the hub remote by. And that, as was
customary, is that the first thing that he did when he learned how to
read and write was to memorize the Quran.
And that this really is considered to be almost like it's not but
it's almost like a prerequisite
of any true scholar is that they memorize the book of Allah,
because that's where it begins and that's where it ends. In the end,
you always come back to the Quran.
One of the famous statements have you ever had dad is that he said,
A modied an aspirin someone who's seeking closest to Allah is not
called a modied. They're not really seeking closest to Allah
until they find in the Quran, Kanuma you read everything that he
wants, everything that he needs, everything that he's seeking. But
ultimately,
everything is in the book of Allah, everything is there.
Everything is in the book of Allah.
And then that the sunnah of our Prophet expounds what is in the
Quran? And then the scholars expound what is in the sunnah of
our Prophet.
And so there's various degrees then but ultimately it all gets
back to the Quran. Everything gets back to the Quran all a name, get
back to the Quran. And it is for this reason, is it they say that
is Camilla Willard. The most perfect litany of the greatest of
the Olia is the root of the Quran.
It's the greatest word of all. And you could also say, in addition to
five daily prayers, the five day repairs are weird, it is something
you have to do day in and day out. And that and that's more in terms
of what Allah Tada has prescribed. And even though Ramadan is a word,
it's something we do on a yearly basis. But the Quran reading the
Quran is the greatest word of all.
And it's not always easy for us, though,
to fully approach it, though, in that way, there's a lot that you
have to do in order to understand the last book.
And there are a lot of tools that you have to acquire, to understand
a lot to add his book. And yes, it doesn't mean that you don't still
recite the Quran devotional you do, even while you're trying to
acquire those tools, and it will have an impact upon you. But this
is what he did.
And so he said after this, as it is said about mastering the basic
Islamic sciences,
and that he spent 10 years constantly keeping the company
off. And learning from
his father, who was a great scholar,
have you Abdullah, been partnered.
And that this is the way that they used to do it is that their very
first teachers were their parents.
There was the mother, and it was their father.
So this is where Dean begins. This is where the training begins, is
that if we wait for someone else to teach our children is that
who's going to teach our children if we're not teaching our children
at home, both mother and father alike. The number one duty upon
their shoulders, is not just providing food and drinking
clothing for them and shelter.
The duty that takes precedence over that is helping them arrive
to the hereafter safely. That is the number one duty. And
everything else is important, although secondary, in addition to
that,
and sometimes we get our priorities mixed up. We get overly
concerned about their world their lives, and that we shouldn't be
concerned about our worldly lives insofar as it relates to the
hereafter. So I'm not saying that you don't have a career. I'm not
saying that you that don't develop a trade or learn a craft. I'm not
saying that you don't go to school. But what how are we
training our upcoming generation to look at that? What is their
intention in doing so? Is it if we look at it solely from a revenue
perspective, there's a whole bunch of ideas out there, the vast
majority of which will take them astray, and will lead them to make
bad decisions. But we want to ingrain in them from an early age,
how to approach life and what it really is all about. And then to
help channel them in the direction that is best for them. And we
don't want to put unnecessary pressure on them.
When that might not be their path. Nor do we want to unnecessarily
that leaves them unmotivated. It's a balance and each child is
different.
And we have to tailor our approach to each child
and figuring out what is best for them. But this is the way these
people were 10 years that he spent studying with his own father.
And
that again,
you know, part of what we're covering in the sisters Holika,
you know, is this is this idea of traditional principles for raising
children in the modern world. And it's difficult because so many
things get turned upside down.
And what was previously, that exception, that exception has now
become the norm.
And you have to readjust based upon the societies in which we
live. And that oftentimes we find ourselves trying to prevent
greater harm from coming, and then actually really building solid
foundations. And I think that this is why we have such a beautiful
opportunity here, living together in a community, where we really
have an opportunity, I believe, I really believe this, to build
strong foundations in our children. So they're not just
always trying to stay above water, Mother adept swimmers, and
they know how to that deal with the challenges of the time in
which we live. And one of the most important things that they need to
do that is deep spirituality.
They have strong Eman, and they have a holistic perspective on
life. So nothing for them is outside of the scope of the
religion. And the approach to the deen is vast enough that anything
that they do in life is that they've already been trained, how
to conceive of that thing, how to approach that thing. And this is
possible, but it takes time.
And so he says that His Father commanded him to take his place
teaching a given fatwa before the age of 20.
What do we do with our childhood? Yeah, with the
end up spending, studying texts that we should have studied when
we were young.
And it's, it's it's humbling knowledge is humbling. I remember,
my goodness, the first time I went to Montana, and I was trying to
speak Arabic. I didn't know that many words, these young kids
thought it was so hilarious, right? They say this, and I'm
like, pronounce it wrong. And they were all like laugh and like, make
fun of me, like the way that I said it. And then it's Jani Akka.
And I remember that, that first summer,
I was within a year of conversion. And I spent some time in what
Italia and then Mustapha Davis and I went on this journey after that,
my God, I think we might have set a Guinness Book of World Records
in terms of types of transportation that we used.
Anyhow, we arrived to Granada, Spain. And we're staying with
shake up with the son of the robot that has Rahim Allah, and that Dr.
Anwar Mooney, Israel had spent time in Granada.
And they had this tape of Dr. Omar. For me, it was like that
time, maybe 1520 years old. And as Dr. Omar, that saying the alphabet
and walking through the letters, and how to pronounce all the
hunter cats, the diacritics on the letters. And of course, Dr. Elmer
there's actually a video online. I don't know if you've seen it, but
he's at the money Keyfit conference. And Dr. Rochelle law
was Yanni
his Arabic was impeccable way back in the day. And they used to
mention about Dr. Gomez that when he was learning Arabic, he refused
to speak to anyone in English, could speak to him Arabic cross,
refuse, look, look at his knowledge of the Arabic language
and to speak it and even he's one of the few agile knees. The Arabs
actually really think
that most Arabs no matter how much we sit and try to learn Arabic is
an anime. All it takes is just one word or one expression cut us
Cantonese and Jimmy is a non Arab. And he was just going through the
alphabet. And if and then that be boo.
And then what I remember just sitting there having to just, you
have to force yourself to just figure out how to pronounce these
letters that are so foreign to English speakers, anyhow, that
they thought it was kind of funny, and this is why they say is that
in order to ever be a student of knowledge,
the role of Arabic is to Jehovah
which is like if you have a nasty medicine that your mother is
making you drink,
right? Like your probiotics or whatever at home
that you have to just
just force yourself to swallow it even though you don't want to. And
as you have to do that you have if you don't do that we're learning
that you always remain ignorant is that you have to
force yourself to swallow the pill of humility
and just humiliate yourself. And they asked him and Abbas is that
how did you attain everything that is that you attained?
And he said that I learned myself as a student, related Barddhaman
resistor that Mr. Lubin does that I lowered myself as a student. And
then I was put in a position where people needed to ask me questions.
And nothing. There's nothing this honor about lowering yourself and
saying, I don't know. And I'm going to learn. That's exactly
what we have to do.
So
that he also kept the company of his maternal grandfather, heavy by
the name of Hamid, Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman hydroset.
Incidentally, for those who this word, Habib, what does it mean?
It's a technical term that essentially means a scholar, a
pious person from admits. And even in the value tradition, it was
only used for the time of remember had died into the present day. So
it's only really been used for the past 300 years. And then in the
period before that, roughly from the time of SEMA for chemo, cut
them in to that of him or her dad, they used to use the word share.
So you have that's why we have like Shika, better Minister cough
shakable welcome inside, they will use the word shift. And then
before that, from the time of Imam and Maharaja, they tended to use
the word Imam, because of their great statute and in the revision.
So he spent time learning from his maternal grandfather and his
maternal uncle. Both were aroma. So you can imagine if he grew up
in that environment, where everybody around you is learning,
and this is why but if we could create that here, even snippets of
that, where this is just what people do, they spend time
learning. This is what people do at assert this time. This is what
people do on the weekends. Yes, you can still take vacations and
these other types of things. But if we establish that type of
culture that just becomes what it is what you do, I could swear off
Biola that what you will get from that is so much greater than what
you think that you're getting, by doing those other things is that
you will completely believe in those other things in your mind
compared to the sweetness of learning once you touch taste the
sweetness.
The problem is when you taste the sweetness of learning.
It's difficult then,
especially when you get pulled into admin thinks
that nevermind, we won't go there. He also started at the hands of
his brother Hamid, Mohammed. And have you ever lived in Oman and
held along? Then you spent a number of years receiving
knowledge from Imam Abdullah? Will Allah we had had dad, so we no
longer had dad was born in the year 1044. And passes in the year
1132. Okay, so he was born in the year 1089. So he was born 45 years
after he had died roughly. And he dies 30 years after him. So
remember, have you ever seen that significantly older, but he was
one of his primary teachers, and that he raised him, and he trained
him. And that he said about this time that he spent with him or her
dad, I read numerous books to him, and benefited from him greatly. He
had special concern for me, and pure love for me that just imagine
what that would have been like to spend time with someone like him
on the head that that studied with him into a learn from him, and to
have been in his presence. You can see why these people used to, but
why they attained what it is that they attained. He says What have
you on the other hand would carry an umbrella for him in their head
that to shade him from the sun. On his visits to the prophet hood.
Alehissalaam remember, had that thought very highly of him. He was
sent some very difficult legal questions. And when you saw him he
had been immense answers to them. He named him a limited dunya. So
when I had dad, does it like chick under college a nanny for that
they said is that he had the bottle of Cherie on his right, and
the bucket of hockey on his left.
And that he would dip into whatever ocean of knowledge that
he'd want in each time. But he needs from the bottom of the ocean
of the Sharia what he needs from the ocean of the Haqiqa. And
someone said that him or her dad was very much that Metallica
Allahu taala. But despite that he's 30 years older, had there
been
any direct fit questions to him? This is the way these people were.
They had many fruits for how many foods? There wasn't. You know, I'm
the senior scholar here. They didn't look at it like that. That
in fact that if there was someone that could suffice them
isn't it
She's laying off their shoulder.
They would push people that to other people if that they know
those people were qualified to deal with it. And this is the way
the true people have a lot art. And I remember one of my teachers
Sheikh Ahmad, the law preserving a great fucky and very spiritually
gifted person. And then he said the word for him, mirrored for him
in Arabic languages like that.
They speak of it like in terms of goats, like the prize goat, that
is, helps the flock anyhow, the forehand, like the greatest
scholar, as he says, is the one who wants his students to surpass
him. He said, another true scholar, if you want your students
to remain, while you're at it, rather than scholars try to find
the quickest way possible to get people up to where they're at. So
then they can go further. Because they want them to go way beyond
what it is that they've attained. And that's totally possible,
because you can, through a proper instruction, summarize the path
for people so that they can move very quickly. And this is why you
have a lot of books that do that. And that this, is that something
that this is how they view this. So he says these people were very
difficult legal questions, and how they met without even looking at a
book answers them, writes his answers. And then when he went
ahead and read the answers, he says, We're law, nothing aquire
method of drama. He said, My Allah, there's no one in the
cosmos like Abderrahman, meaning that this is one of the greatest
scholars of all time. So who can answer questions like that? And
he was, have you ever heard of him and I've known that was known to
be very simple. He was a farmer.
In addition to his scholarly activities, he actually spent time
farming, he would cultivate the earth and not just garden like we
go out every once a while and garden. No, he was a farmer,
where he would actually spend time on the farm, that cultivating
crops, harvesting them.
And there's this beautiful story where that there was a group of
people who came to the people of TuneIn, to ask them a few
questions. And they were in a place the grave of a man Badgett
Havana, just outside of today. And that he was sent to go speak to
these people and answer their questions.
And he had been farming that day. So when he went to them, he had
his shovel.
And that he had his shovel and another instrument that he was
using to farm.
And he came in farm close by, he's been on the phone, he's dirty, he
can imagine what he would have looked like. And that he walks up
to them, and they say, who are you?
Right? He mentioned his name. And he says that I'm here to help
answer your questions. So they present the questions to him
without looking at a book.
He just met Lynch's answers. And they're like, how could they
thought he was a hoddan. They thought he was just someone who
was like surfing around the house. And they said, if this is like
this,
this is what the servants intending look like. He says, What
about the scholars, but he was very humble, he used to draw the
water from the well, right by himself. And if you ever see in a
traditional society, usually only servants do that. Like in
Mauritania, there's only certain people who draw the water onto the
walls.
But at times, you would find these very humble scholars who would go
and do these types of things because they wanted to serve
themselves. And they wanted to break their souls. And they did
not want enough to get the rest of them.
And
he also traveled to different places in Yemen, he was known to
have visited the scholars in the speed. And he also
became, he came to know many of the earlier MA in the How to rein
in the rest of cities of Mecca and Medina. And it was there but he
connected to the vast majority of other spiritual paths by way of
TumbleBook, which is the way of the ODI in the sight of him for
like to have connections and different chains of narration back
to the Prophet, similar NSW Salaam. And many of his works are
still here with us. And hopefully some of them more of them will
return to English, have a compilation of a two volume work
of art that includes many of his other treaties, and books that he
wrote. And one of his more famous works on lines of poetry called
the Russia fat. And they're some of the most beautiful lines of
poetry in existence. They're just incredibly beautiful. And it's
almost as if like, he can write in writing the way that he can write
in just posts. Right it's just he it's almost a he has such a cool
Land of the Arabic language is that the same thing that you can
do in practice you can do in poetry. And there's a lot of, you
know, different in the recited in a very specific way. But there's a
lot of lessons in this, this books actually been published in Arabic,
and has a commentary by Sheikh Abdullah, Bin Salman best done.
normal citizen were better. And then one other last story about
his life. There was a time during his time that there was a ruler
who put him in prison for a particular reason.
And
what they put him in a barrel. So they had a ball that it was just
big enough for a human being to fit in, but he couldn't stand up.
And so they put him inside of a barrel and left them in there for
an extended period of time. And to the point that they said that he
almost died.
That afternoon released after they released him.
In his presence, someone said something bad about the ruler.
And his response was, is that don't speak bad about anyone.
The ruler that tortured him and punished him
is that he didn't want anyone to speak bad about anyone in his
presence. He forbade that person from saying something bad about
the person who tortured him.
And that they said to him, that this ruler wrongly imprisoned you
and tortured you.
But look at this, this is the people of Allah. And that I've
heard my teachers mentioned this so many times, but this is one of
the fundamental problems of the Ummah of our prophets, Eliza is
that we forgot this
came out to Kulu, you will let it come, as you are, so will your
rules be forgotten this the other provinces seven that remains
introspective, they look at their own selves? What did he say? He
said, I was the cause of my own imprisonment.
And a wonder aerations. In one narration, he said, it was because
of a sin that I committed that this happened to me. That's how we
saw it.
And what was that sin, the sinner is not like a sin. Like I said,
the way that we think of it, he says that he had a servant, that
one time that brought him some water,
and that he forgot to remind her to pray on time.
So she postponed the prayer out of the time.
And he said that, if I would have reminded her to pray, she would
have prayed. And so because of that sin, that he viewed that as a
sin in his right, because of that sin. Is it Allah made this happen
to me.
He viewed his torture and imprisonment as something his own
hands had wrought. But this is how the people of Allah are. This is
how they are they never blame other people. Whenever they go
through tribulation, they blame their own self. And now we all
might be thinking in our minds now, okay. Does that mean that
okay, this has happened to me, this is all because of something
that I've done it. There's a lot of details that you have to walk
through and not to confuse people. But in general, yes. In general,
yes. Is that the greatest source of calamities is sin.
And that has a lot to do but honestly, I didn't recover me. The
good deeds of the righteous are the bad deeds of those who are
close to Allah Tada. And to the degree of our closest to Allah is
the degree to which is that we will be taken to account for
certain things. And that the closer that we get to Allah, the
fire the relationship gets, and then the more aware of it we
become, but for him, it's like he knew exactly what it was. This is
what it was. And so he embraced that insight as a cathedra
as an atonement for what it is that he did. He's taken and now
here in the dunya, and call us, he's not going to be taken to
account for in the next world. And so he had great students as well.
That many of the great Imams of TuneIn were his students have been
hammered over Muhammad Habib siofok, when homeless took off the
grandfather down the line of 100 Mikado, so cough and the famous
Habib, remember must have an iPad or a smartphone fahara In your
sentence, Xena, Danny the Sahaba on the fact that he was one of his
students. And that so he passed away in the 1162 of the hijab,
you're 1749 And
one final story about him
It
is one of the other reasons that they used to call a learner to
dinner. And now these are this book that I've used to cut out
with heavy body. The stories get a little bit more esoteric, let's
say.
There's a he used to say, well Connie record were the one who
then Athena and Nasir il two alpha.
There's 30 languages that I possessed that I was never once
asked about
30 different languages.
And when he says what to learn to be multi, they're going to die
with my death.
And that they used to eat what they said about him is that Carlo
and Illuma unique, I'll admit
that they said that he had close to 100 different types of
knowledge.
And that when he was getting close to passing,
as if he called for that email, it had been so comfortable having a
sock off. And that he said, Come close to me, and take from me this
knowledge, that keep in mind, there's that famous narration of
Sinead even every time that he's to point to his chest, he say, in
the heart of southern that, I mean, Jana, there is a copious
amount of knowledge in this chest of mine, no reject to the HA HA,
Mala. Oh, I to find people who would learn it, but literally how
Mala to carry it.
And this is the thing is that, that when people want to learn,
knowledge comes from the heart to the tongue when people learn. And
this is the thing is that if someone's thirsty to learn, Allah
will bring people from the other side of the Earth for you to
learn,
if someone wants to learn, is that Allah Tala will facilitate you
that a way to learn. But even if you think that it's far fetched,
even if you think that it's difficult, and when he was
approaching his, when he was poor to his death, is that they said to
him, because it shouldn't bring you a premium, should we bring
your doctor?
And he had a very different perspective. And yes, you can
bring a doctor sure that's from the means. These are people with
Allah. They don't they take the means. But he said that, I'm
always amazed that people who are sick, ie their hearts are sick,
not the woman, Toby. And none of them are seeking doctors to cure
the real diseases, whichever the diseases of the heart.
And then he quoted the statement of say, no book of Sadiq, that
when he was close to passing, and they said to him, is that Shall we
bring you a doctor, and he says, of Toby de la vie, and Ronnie is
that the doctor is the one that made me sick in the first place.
Now, that doesn't mean that we don't know medicine.
Man, in the end, we're intimate have done. Knowledge is of two
traits, the knowledge of religion, the knowledge of that medicine,
it's very, it's one of the most
praiseworthy analogies that we can learn. Because our physical body
is what we need to travel our path to Allah.
But the area, the reason they're concerned about their physical
health is different than the other people.
They only are concerned about their physical health, so that
when they receive very powerful spiritual states, it doesn't
affect the physical body and prevent them from worship.
And the stronger your constitution, the stronger your
physical body is, the more you'll be able to bear spiritual weight.
And spiritual weight takes a toll on your physical body. And I've
seen this firsthand right before my eyes, literally, I've seen
people. It was actually one of the descendants who did the technique
of another version, another copy of this book, we were going to
visit Zumba. And he always used to complain about his hip.
And he'd seen multiple doctors and none of them ever said anything
was wrong with him. They couldn't find what was wrong with him. And
when we went to go visit him, but everything was fine. He was
walking normal.
But then as you enter, you walk about 50 feet, and then you turn
right.
And as we turned right, which is where you actually start to go
visit earlier. He started limping. She was totally fine. He was
totally fine.
And then he starts limping. And we're getting closer to the
greater center for him Academy. He's like, really limping.
And we're about 15 feet away from the grave. And he's holding on to
me, and he can't he can't really walk.
But he's he's he's like hobbling.
Then we visit and then he, you know we start to leave and
And eventually, it just, it just goes away.
And it's literally witnessing, like what happened. You can tell
it to people or not. People hear that like, Oh, they're faking it.
Oh, that was a biller. Right. These are people who lodge in the
gelato. But these are people who've never told a lie in their
life. I don't even know what line is.
And that it's this, the spiritual rate is real. That shake up at our
minister coffee used to say when his son of a walker was young,
they tried to lift him
and someone were trying to lift him. And he was two, three years
old, and they couldn't lift him.
But his spiritual rate was so heavy at age two or three, that we
couldn't even physically lift him.
And the only way that we could really bring that close if people
don't know how to understand this, but Allah says, So lyrically, I
Laker colon therapy land, we're going to cast upon you a heavy
word. And we know that when the Prophet received revelation, who
was on a camel, the camel.
And yeah, there was times where the prophet was on the lap of
senior broker Siddiq, and that it was almost unbearable for him
to hold when he was receiving revelation. So spiritual weight
is, is very, very real. So I wasn't going to go into that much
detail, but inshallah Tada, we will start the actual book
tomorrow, busy nights out there. But it is good to know, the
author, whoever you're citing from. And again, let's prepare our
hearts. And let's really benefit from this beautiful data. That
when you turn your hearts into these means, and you love and
respect and esteem these great humans are
those mitad there's deep, that very powerful spiritual sustenance
that comes to you from them. And this word method, if people don't
know what that is, method is to the Spirit what food is to the
body. And just as you eat food and you get energy is that when you
receive money from the only you get spiritual energy, and what
does energy enable you to do. It enables you to do activities, all
different sorts, the more spiritual energy that you have
enables you to do to all types of different spiritual activities
