So that was sent him another Saudi law while and he was talking

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

behave Woman, why Allah

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

so we'll continue on inshallah get right into the material we are on

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

page 60

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

The second paragraph which starts he continues to travel to Allah

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

while usarlo Musa fit and foul run Isla he he be.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

He continues to travel to a lot fleeing to Him, through Him, and

00:00:27 --> 00:00:27

by him

00:00:28 --> 00:00:34

most thorough and basically devoted to remembrance of him that

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

he'd been fee engrossed. And it's hard to Yeah, funner and Nipsey he

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

were indicative, and that his own self is annihilated, and so to is

00:00:42 --> 00:00:47

a loss remembrance. While you're still Hueco Philippi Falaya,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

Schroeder Bill Hader, he's occupied fully with Allah, and

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

perceives nothing else.

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

And so he's just describing the state where some becomes so

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

preoccupied with the remembrance of Allah,

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

that everything else starts to change. And this is something

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

that's possible. It's like, if you think about in terms of dunya, you

00:01:09 --> 00:01:14

can become so preoccupied with your job or task that you are not

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

aware of it, what else is happening, your child says

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

something to you, and you're not a parent, you're not present with

00:01:20 --> 00:01:23

them. And you as as if you didn't hear them, or

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

that you're so worried about something that

00:01:28 --> 00:01:29

likewise,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

you're not thinking clearly.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:37

But this also happens, and when you that have worked on your heart

00:01:37 --> 00:01:42

so much, and you've remembering him was such depth, and not just

00:01:42 --> 00:01:45

surface level where the meanings of the color are passing your

00:01:45 --> 00:01:50

heart? No, this is where now you are really present. And really

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

think about that if we are in prayer, and we're really present

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

with every word we're so present. We're not aware of that what is

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

happening around us. You have these amazing stories of people

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

who came before us.

00:02:04 --> 00:02:09

Where they were so present in their prayers. They literally were

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

oblivious what's happened around them one time, the great grandson

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

of the prophets, I seldom seen these in Aberdeen.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:21

A wall fell nearby him while he's in prayer, a wall a whole lot,

00:02:22 --> 00:02:26

like tumbled down. You can imagine if you're sitting there there's a

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

wall just falls everyone's going to know what happened. You scared

00:02:30 --> 00:02:32

that didn't see worried about it falling on them.

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

But they asked him about it after parent.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41

He said what? Well, he wasn't aware of that whatsoever. One of

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

them actually had a surgery, he had to get his leg amputated.

00:02:47 --> 00:02:51

And so his anesthesia he didn't need doctors ever to put them to

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

or acupuncture from Japan that you're telling about yesterday, it

00:02:56 --> 00:03:01

tell us you don't have her Allahu Akbar, right. And then they

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

amputate his leg while he's in power. And these are not fake

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

stories. These are real, these things are real. There's people

00:03:08 --> 00:03:12

that are that have been like this. And they're still people. Few and

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

they're few. But there's still people that are like this Anyhow,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:22

this is possible, where you become so preoccupied with Allah, that

00:03:22 --> 00:03:26

you forget everything else. And it says what the words that the IRS

00:03:26 --> 00:03:31

must data on how you refer to this in Arabic. And he turns out he has

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

been completely devoted. And this idea is the hallmark of Hanukkah,

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

your goal is to drown. So if someone was stuck, is that they're

00:03:40 --> 00:03:45

drowned, immersed, plunged into the depths of something. And

00:03:46 --> 00:03:51

that it might even be then that they say, these ecstatic

00:03:51 --> 00:03:56

expressions, and he mentions one here in the text. And that it's

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

very important that we understand how to responsibly deal with

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

ecstatic expressions of the people of Allah. And there are different

00:04:05 --> 00:04:08

wheels, there's different figurative interpretations that we

00:04:08 --> 00:04:13

give for them. But if someone makes an ecstatic expression, and

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

then they're asked about that, and it really is something that goes

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

against the city, then it's not accepted whatsoever. But

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

oftentimes, is that someone is in a state, they don't actually

00:04:22 --> 00:04:27

realize even what they said. And scholars of this science always

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

remind people of the Hadith

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

where

00:04:32 --> 00:04:38

the men who the problem said low alpha habito, Bucha Abdeen. A lot

00:04:38 --> 00:04:43

out it is happier with the servants repentance, then, the man

00:04:43 --> 00:04:47

who was traveling in the desert, is that he parked his camel, he

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

went to sleep, he woke up in his camels gone. He's in the middle of

00:04:51 --> 00:04:51

the desert.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

And he went back to the tree to sleep and thought that he was

00:04:57 --> 00:05:00

going to die and just basically waiting for his death and

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

New Work and camels if you know anything about camels, camels

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

roam. They don't come back. They're not domesticated

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

creatures, like cows or goats that are going to come back. We used to

00:05:10 --> 00:05:13

send them out and what he tended to in the morning, and then they

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

come back in the evening. That's just part of what they do. Yes,

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

you have to separate the calves from the mother cows and the kids

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

from the mother goats, but they come back, and they all want food

00:05:23 --> 00:05:27

and the camels will just keep going. They don't come back. So he

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

thought he was gonna die. So he wakes up, and his camels back.

00:05:32 --> 00:05:35

And so he is so excited and so happy

00:05:36 --> 00:05:42

that his camera came back. He said that, yeah, Rob, and to do another

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

book,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:49

is instead of saying that, Oh Allah, Ya Allah, Yara, and Abduch

00:05:49 --> 00:05:52

want to interrupt you and abduct. The Prophet said Oxfam. And she

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

said that in Farah, he said, Oh Allah, you are my servant, and I

00:05:56 --> 00:05:59

am your Lord. And that's cool for me that to say that takes you

00:05:59 --> 00:06:02

outside the fold of Islam, where the prophet said Akbar, when

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

should the Dilfer he made a mistake, because he was so happy

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

if you would ask the person about what they said that stuff. And of

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

course, I didn't mean that. And said the same thing with the

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

people of Allah.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

Mama Sharone.

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

As a book content, we are the shutter, where he gives figurative

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

interpretations to

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

many of the ecstatic expressions of the people of the love of

00:06:28 --> 00:06:34

Allah. And we definitely negate the outward meaning, no doubt. And

00:06:34 --> 00:06:39

we give people the benefit of the doubt in relation to them. And so

00:06:39 --> 00:06:40

this is very, very important.

00:06:43 --> 00:06:44

In this whole idea of

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

we talked about finat Fila annihilating yourself in Allah,

00:06:50 --> 00:06:56

that there's no that had, there's no, there's no union with the

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

villa. You're not becoming one with Allah, I was a bit of Allah's

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

Mahalo for the husband, he's absolutely different from his

00:07:04 --> 00:07:08

creation, subhana wa Tada, so that these things are impossible. We

00:07:08 --> 00:07:09

don't believe in them.

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

Hello, if you had some type of incarnation or something like

00:07:14 --> 00:07:18

that, we did not always completely and humbly, though we have a

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

unadulterated creed, whereby which that when you study comparative

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

religion, much of the falsehood that exists, that it becomes very

00:07:25 --> 00:07:28

easy for us to decipher what's truth and what's falsehood,

00:07:28 --> 00:07:35

because of our pure crit. And you We reject that any attempt of any

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

pantheistic type tendency, or any animistic type tendency that

00:07:39 --> 00:07:44

somehow God is in his creation, we reject that completely. Allah data

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

is not a part of His creation to bodycote data, is not permissible

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

to believe that

00:07:51 --> 00:07:54

he bought everything into existence. So how do I data? And

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

yes, he has a relationship with his creation, otherwise, how did

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

he bring into existence, what that relationship cannot fully be

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

understood, with the intellect, we can just say what it's not.

00:08:06 --> 00:08:11

As for what it actually is, that's not something that we can come to

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

a knowledge of with the mind. That's something that we come to a

00:08:14 --> 00:08:19

knowledge of, with the heart, if the heart is the locus for the

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

magic of Allah, the heart has an ability when the veil is lifted,

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

to understand how Allah relates to his creation. That's something

00:08:26 --> 00:08:29

that's witnessed, and it's something that cannot ultimately

00:08:30 --> 00:08:34

be articulated. And this is why we have to have a lot of a dub with

00:08:34 --> 00:08:38

the gnosis of the Quran, and the various verses of the Quran that

00:08:38 --> 00:08:41

seem to have anthropomorphic meanings, and we understand them

00:08:41 --> 00:08:44

responsibly, and the way that the scholarship the centuries taught

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

us to do so. Likewise, the statements of our Prophet, so love

00:08:47 --> 00:08:50

the idea, just have you set them were limited, obviously, by

00:08:50 --> 00:08:53

language in terms of what we can say, and what is it we can't say,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:57

but we have to have language in order to communicate. And we have

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

to understand the nature of language has a lot of things that

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

require a bit of training so that we can understand how to put

00:09:03 --> 00:09:07

things in their proper place. And there's been debates over this

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

throughout centuries throughout the centuries. And it was one of

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

the

00:09:12 --> 00:09:15

dividing lines between the people of either cinema Gemma and others,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

was how do we that interpret anthropomorphic versus them what

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

too shabby hat, the verses that are obscure in nature?

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

Anyhow?

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

So he mentions one of these and he says, he might even deny his own

00:09:31 --> 00:09:31

existence.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:34

Excuse me.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

What Obama encara NAFSA.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

Anyone? What Obama uncut enough, sir.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:47

Without, you know, still healthy.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

He might even deny his own existence. Well, who am I totally

00:09:52 --> 00:09:56

irrelevant. The subtonic Haqiqa de la This is excusable because of

00:09:56 --> 00:09:59

the overwhelming power of reality upon him. I

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

So the only way really to liken this is if you think of like

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

electricity, thinking about what happens if you get an electric

00:10:07 --> 00:10:12

shock. Or if you have one of those things that just like, shock you a

00:10:12 --> 00:10:17

little bit like you get affected by it, let alone that if you would

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

actually get shocked by

00:10:20 --> 00:10:25

an electric socket that has 110 power, what if it was 220? What if

00:10:25 --> 00:10:31

it was stronger than that? Your your ability to that bear that is,

00:10:31 --> 00:10:36

is there, we don't have much ability to bear electric shocks or

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

just our exposure to light. We can't even look at the sun. If you

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

looked at the sun for what, like three minutes or something you

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

could potentially go blind or whatever it is. We don't have an

00:10:46 --> 00:10:47

ability

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

even listen to like physical shocks and physical light. We have

00:10:52 --> 00:10:55

limited abilities. So what about spiritual light,

00:10:56 --> 00:11:02

it can become so overwhelming for the human being that things happen

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

as a result that they're not even aware of. And he's pointing to

00:11:06 --> 00:11:07

some of that here.

00:11:09 --> 00:11:12

So he says this is excusable because of the overwhelming power

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

of reality upon him.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:20

All you have to do when a Mahi may no matter where he was so good. He

00:11:20 --> 00:11:23

will. He will for picking. He moves between consciousness and

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

intoxication. So it means you're in character vacation, it was a

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

biller does not mean what most people think, has nothing to do

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

with outward forms of haram intoxication. No, there's

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

something that happens when the light of reality strikes the

00:11:38 --> 00:11:44

heart. It produces in the heart, an ecstasy a spiritual, that

00:11:44 --> 00:11:50

experience, that the only way to liken the only way to liken it is

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

to speak of it in the terms of intoxication.

00:11:54 --> 00:11:54

And

00:11:55 --> 00:11:58

that it has nothing to do with the villa. These people are the

00:11:58 --> 00:12:01

furthest people from anything that is haram, that obviously doesn't

00:12:01 --> 00:12:05

have anything to do. What they mean is that they're intoxicated

00:12:05 --> 00:12:09

with the remembrance of Allah, in other words, is that their

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

greatest pleasure, the greatest joy is in remembering a large

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

energy that is joyful for them. It's actually pleasurable to them.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

There's a sweetness in hola todos remembers. And so

00:12:23 --> 00:12:25

that when you've been around people like this, their states

00:12:25 --> 00:12:30

that they go through, where their states where they are, that they

00:12:30 --> 00:12:33

call them here. And when he says here, sober, this is how they

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

refer to them, as well consciousness and intoxication, or

00:12:36 --> 00:12:42

you could say, being sober or intoxicated. Again, this is only

00:12:42 --> 00:12:47

in a spiritual sense. And these people go through powerful states.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:51

And if you look at the stories of the Sahaba, they themselves went

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

through powerful states, there was times where sin Omar will be

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

unconscious for an entire day.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

Because of reading the Quran, and affecting him so strongly that he

00:13:03 --> 00:13:03

passed out.

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

And we have numerous narrations indicate states of the companions,

00:13:09 --> 00:13:14

that that they were dramatically affected by the remembrance of

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

Allah and why certain things that happened in recitation of the

00:13:17 --> 00:13:18

Quran and so forth.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:23

And then he says, union in separation, that's not how I

00:13:23 --> 00:13:28

personally would translate Gemma and fork. Because then when you

00:13:28 --> 00:13:32

say the word union has the connotation of what I previously

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

mentioned, this idea of it you had Gemma and fork are two states

00:13:38 --> 00:13:43

that are very lofty states of the righteous. And they were to their

00:13:43 --> 00:13:49

particular spiritual experiences. And they differ. And they appear,

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

the way we present here as opposites, just as metal and

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

soccer are opposites, that I would not translate them here as union

00:13:56 --> 00:13:58

separation. What

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

what was what was the whole well, he went to Home,

00:14:03 --> 00:14:09

in between ecstasy, abstinence, in absence, and hello to him

00:14:09 --> 00:14:13

presence. Again, these are all just technical terms. And these

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

technical terms start to develop at a certain juncture. And you can

00:14:16 --> 00:14:20

read about them in the books, like the results of Coccidia,

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

Abdulkareem, and crochet and others

00:14:24 --> 00:14:27

where they define them. And essentially, what they're defining

00:14:27 --> 00:14:31

is states that people have and they develop terms to point to

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

them. So it became a technical science at a certain point. How to

00:14:36 --> 00:14:39

tie it to haka God would you would what Tata Alia fill out to June

00:14:40 --> 00:14:41

until what

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

he affirms his own existence, and the role of Divine Generosity is

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

manifested upon him.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:56

While you sit her portable awaited your hobo, his proximity is sound

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

and his love for Allah is clear.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:05

For your corner allah sallallahu alayhi wa Bosler the observer,

00:15:05 --> 00:15:09

where the Holy God shall be her Virtual Reality MCB I want to

00:15:09 --> 00:15:14

stand there be either one set up or and this is a Hadith from

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

Buhari

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

and so someone might say like, wait a second, all these terms

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

that you're using what is their relationship for the Quran and

00:15:21 --> 00:15:26

Sunnah. So this last part, he is mentioned as a part of a hadith of

00:15:26 --> 00:15:31

the Rasul slice and that symbol hottie. And that state that is

00:15:31 --> 00:15:36

referred to in this hadith and Buhari is the state is a reference

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

to the overall state of these individuals when they when this

00:15:39 --> 00:15:43

happens to them. And all of the other technical vocabulary, as

00:15:43 --> 00:15:47

previously mentioned, speaks about its details. So even though the

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

details of the technical vocabulary didn't wasn't

00:15:49 --> 00:15:55

mentioned, directly in the Sona for instance, it was extracted and

00:15:55 --> 00:15:57

it was developed by the scholars based upon the overarching reality

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

which is directly mentioned in the sunnah of our Prophet of size,

00:16:01 --> 00:16:04

that is the state that has been referred to. So the Hadith and

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

thoughts are very important Hadith, and it's one of the most

00:16:07 --> 00:16:11

oft quoted hadith is that is related by Ebihara in the law to

00:16:11 --> 00:16:15

Allah, Kala, Allah, Allah says, And so begins. So the divine

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

sayings or Hadith you could see

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

are usually have a

00:16:23 --> 00:16:27

they usually relate to some special connection that a servant

00:16:27 --> 00:16:28

has to their Lord.

00:16:29 --> 00:16:34

So they're usually related to topics of the closest of the

00:16:34 --> 00:16:39

servant to his or to his or her Lord. So in the lockdown of Carmen

00:16:39 --> 00:16:44

addley, William forgot Adam to her bellhop. So whoever shows enmity

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

to one of my Olivia,

00:16:47 --> 00:16:49

one of my friends,

00:16:50 --> 00:16:52

that I will declare war against them.

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

So either you, Addy is to be, in other words, to be an enemy

00:16:56 --> 00:16:58

towards them to show enmity.

00:16:59 --> 00:16:59

And

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

if someone doesn't know someone is from the LDR, then, you know,

00:17:04 --> 00:17:07

hopefully, this won't apply to you. But if someone does know this

00:17:07 --> 00:17:08

so much on the earlier

00:17:09 --> 00:17:13

in the day show enmity towards them, because the from the reality

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

there's only two people that allow wages war against the one that was

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

enmity to his Oh, yeah. And there's a second

00:17:20 --> 00:17:22

one who deals with interest.

00:17:24 --> 00:17:28

Will not a cadre of division or hobby laning of total today, my

00:17:28 --> 00:17:31

server will draw near to me with nothing more beloved to me than

00:17:31 --> 00:17:35

that which I have made an obligation upon him. Whereby as I

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

do it, it took quite a bit a bit, no offense, or headbutts. hadith

00:17:38 --> 00:17:41

is so significant, so it lays down the path to Allah, you perform the

00:17:41 --> 00:17:45

obligations, and that's the foundation and then after that,

00:17:45 --> 00:17:49

you start doing no often supererogatory acts, and the whole

00:17:49 --> 00:17:53

result of it is what what does it result in what is it lead to what

00:17:53 --> 00:17:58

is the whole purpose of it? What is the higher of it? What Himba

00:17:58 --> 00:18:03

Allahu Akbar? Until I love him. So the whole goal of performing the

00:18:03 --> 00:18:08

obligatory accident supererogatory is to become beloved to Allah

00:18:08 --> 00:18:10

Jalaja Sahadi somebody

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

very clear, it's clear as daybreak and then everything was a result

00:18:16 --> 00:18:21

after you become beloved to Allah, Allahu Akbar, for either work to

00:18:21 --> 00:18:25

know when I love him, I will be the era through which he hears and

00:18:25 --> 00:18:28

that's literally there's no other way to translate that come to some

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

level. Okay, how would you translate that any other way?

00:18:31 --> 00:18:32

Can you corner

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

How's you can translate that I will be the ears through which he

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

hears or muscle or the absorber we had the ability of the shoe we

00:18:40 --> 00:18:45

have what is already M shape we have one set Eleni and if he asked

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

me that after yen that I will surely give them willingness to

00:18:48 --> 00:18:52

add any reason and if he seeks refuge in Me I will grant him

00:18:52 --> 00:18:56

refuge This is the state that he's referring to here is that after

00:18:56 --> 00:19:00

someone moves through these various degrees of sand that this

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

is the route will you say help Audible is that he will his

00:19:04 --> 00:19:09

proximity is sound with audio. And his love for Allah will be clear.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

And then this is what's going to happen after this person's not

00:19:12 --> 00:19:17

like anyone else. Is that like as Allah Titus says about Rasul

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

Allah, well, not me is that I made when I can la rama, you did not

00:19:21 --> 00:19:26

throw when you threw but Allah through our deepest improvisation

00:19:26 --> 00:19:31

sewing on the day of dust. And what happened is a How is someone

00:19:31 --> 00:19:35

going to throw a handful of dust and all of a sudden that it gets

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

in the eyes of every opposing soldier? It's impossible already.

00:19:40 --> 00:19:45

But if Allah has the hand through which that you are that casting

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

things, and that you are seizing things, and then you throw dust,

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

Allah is going to convey that dust to the eyes of everyone that he

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

wants to convey to.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:55

That's to me.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

It's not about you anymore. Yes, you did. The action of throwing

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

But the reality was Allah was through, and that it was upon

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

Allah to that cause the effect.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

Right like seeing Ibrahim, what was commanded to proclaim the

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

pilgrimage?

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

How to how am I going to proclaim the image? Yanni? That's I like it

00:20:17 --> 00:20:22

as Anwar Leia Bella, you've been commanded to call the Sudan and

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

then Allah to Allah will cause it to reach anyone that is supposed

00:20:24 --> 00:20:25

to reach.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:30

And they mentioned that anyone who responded to that call while

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

they're in the loins of their forefathers,

00:20:34 --> 00:20:36

those are the ones that are eventually going to make the

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

pilgrimage in real life.

00:20:38 --> 00:20:41

And depending upon how many times that you've responded and said,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

the big is the amount of times that you actually perform the

00:20:43 --> 00:20:44

pilgrimage as they say.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:47

Allahu Akbar

00:20:50 --> 00:20:56

anyone so then, and we'll end here find the derrick Acosta highly

00:20:56 --> 00:21:01

unwanted Haqiqa while you do Jenna manual work, you wonder why the

00:21:01 --> 00:21:04

moron added called me what are we liable for? Do what you should.

00:21:04 --> 00:21:06

How can I get 10 Zerah Topsfield we

00:21:08 --> 00:21:11

will talk soon. We haven't made any law Kula Masekela we are

00:21:11 --> 00:21:15

totally hobby no Lila Kulu Marilla was educated at Taco jacking was

00:21:15 --> 00:21:20

obedient Allah Hinata teen Han Allah to Allah Omonia tequila,

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

Aloha Maharaja a in Columbus Gilliam, Omar, and then while

00:21:24 --> 00:21:27

you're Zuko element Wafaa Herman when he left us it will call the

00:21:27 --> 00:21:32

airline with the Hello we are limo Kamala will call it the other in

00:21:32 --> 00:21:38

Takala Am I looking for Karna ally yet? Are we learning Tofik at this

00:21:38 --> 00:21:41

point, the lights of reality radiate upon him. He tastes the

00:21:41 --> 00:21:45

fruits of revelation in prophecy. Through experiencing proximity

00:21:45 --> 00:21:50

Corp, sainthood we lie in chivalry for two weeks. He witnesses the

00:21:50 --> 00:21:53

realities of revelation in detail. He is cognizant of all the

00:21:53 --> 00:21:56

foundations of branches of knowledge from ALLAH and by him he

00:21:56 --> 00:22:00

gains understanding of every difficult concept. By the light of

00:22:00 --> 00:22:03

Allah the solution to every problem becomes apparent. This is

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

the fruit of Taqwa fearful awareness of Allah and certainty

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

and keeping the company of the people of Allah. The people of

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

Taqwa Allah, the Exalted says whoever has Taqwa of Allah, He

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

will give him a way out a meaning from every difficulty and problem

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

and Allah says, and he will provide for him, meaning knowledge

00:22:20 --> 00:22:24

and understanding from sources he could never imagine. Allah also

00:22:24 --> 00:22:27

says have Taqwa of Allah and He will teach you. Allah says, if you

00:22:27 --> 00:22:30

have Taqwa of Allah, He will give you a criterion to tell right from

00:22:30 --> 00:22:36

wrong. Enabling grace is from Allah, your legit Allah. So you

00:22:36 --> 00:22:40

can see how important spirituality really is as salaries? If this is

00:22:40 --> 00:22:41

someone state?

00:22:42 --> 00:22:45

How are they ever going to be confused? How are they ever going

00:22:45 --> 00:22:47

to be? How are they ever going to fall into doubt?

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

The new philosophical current that's speaking about this or that

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

you think these people are gonna be affected by that kind of stuff?

00:22:56 --> 00:23:01

These people are, their faith is so deep, those things will have

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

zero impact upon the hurts of fortified costs. When this

00:23:05 --> 00:23:10

happens, is it there's nothing you can do? You can't, you can't strip

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

this person have their email.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

And that this type of person, if you can combine this internal

00:23:17 --> 00:23:21

state, with outward knowledge and the ability to articulate the

00:23:21 --> 00:23:24

realities of the deen, oh, my goodness, then you're going to

00:23:24 --> 00:23:28

have people that are going to be very impactful and very effective.

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

And that speaking to people that in a language that they

00:23:32 --> 00:23:33

understand, but this is their internal state.

00:23:35 --> 00:23:37

And but these type of people, though, like many of the

00:23:37 --> 00:23:43

companions, even if they don't have all of those skills,

00:23:43 --> 00:23:43

outwardly,

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

like, the Companions, many places they went, they didn't know all

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

the details of the societies that they went into. They were lacking

00:23:51 --> 00:23:54

some of the knowledge of those details, but their state was so

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

strong with Allah, they still affected.

00:23:58 --> 00:24:03

Think about how quick they spread. Within 110 years, it sounds spread

00:24:03 --> 00:24:04

to the corners of the earth.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

East to West, maybe not the corners of Earth man, if I just

00:24:09 --> 00:24:14

exaggerated getting that happy, excited, but expanded more quickly

00:24:14 --> 00:24:17

than anything else in history, any other religion, any other

00:24:17 --> 00:24:21

political entity, any other ideology or anything. Nothing has

00:24:21 --> 00:24:25

happened that quickly in known history.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

And it was from the baraka of the companions to having these

00:24:29 --> 00:24:31

realities within themselves.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

And then you add to that state, the our dimension of articulation

00:24:36 --> 00:24:41

and clarification and so forth, and increased knowledge. And so

00:24:41 --> 00:24:44

this is here for us to know that this exists. That's all we need to

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

know now is to know that this exists, and there still our people

00:24:48 --> 00:24:53

on the face of this earth who are experiencing this and what remains

00:24:53 --> 00:24:59

for us is to love them, believe in them, and to try to find them. Try

00:24:59 --> 00:25:00

to be

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

with him, try to sit there, try to visit them try to sit at their

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

feet, even for a very short period of time.

00:25:07 --> 00:25:10

And these, these, these, these stories don't happen.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:15

The story still happen, someone was just telling me story, you see

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

the blessing of intention, this person wanted to meet one of the

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

righteous. And he was called into action. And he had to go all the

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

way to Jeddah, and SubhanAllah. That his flight wasn't until the

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

evening.

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

And it's like early morning flight was until the evening, and he

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

wanted to meet one of the righteous. So it's only intention

00:25:37 --> 00:25:39

and going back, he'd already performed to offer them a lot and

00:25:39 --> 00:25:45

everything, he went back to just meet this particular person.

00:25:46 --> 00:25:50

And then without even realizing not even knowing that this person

00:25:50 --> 00:25:50

had his number,

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

he receives a text on his phone,

00:25:56 --> 00:25:56

saying that,

00:25:58 --> 00:26:01

if you want to meet now, we can meet now. And then shortly after

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

that, like a basic description of how to find him.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

These things are very real, very real,

00:26:10 --> 00:26:13

very real. These are things that just happen to people three, four

00:26:13 --> 00:26:17

or 567 100 years ago, these things happen to people, amazing things,

00:26:18 --> 00:26:23

is very difficult to understand these things without really

00:26:23 --> 00:26:24

believing in this row.

00:26:25 --> 00:26:29

This is these a lot to understand control. subhanaw taala. And if

00:26:29 --> 00:26:30

you look here,

00:26:31 --> 00:26:33

the state that he's describing,

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

one of the greatest fruits of having the state with Allah, what

00:26:37 --> 00:26:42

does he do for you? Allah to honor that he gains understanding of

00:26:42 --> 00:26:48

every difficult concept? Well, yes, him Billa any law? Coulomb

00:26:48 --> 00:26:53

Masekela through Allah not through himself through Allah, that any

00:26:53 --> 00:26:59

that from ALLAH, ALLAH inspires this individual with the truth of

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

that particular matter, or to see through it if it's false.

00:27:03 --> 00:27:06

Coulomb which can a mosquito, it's used in modern Arabic, like just

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

problems and Morocco, that type of thing. But English Kala is really

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

that a problem? In a very different sense. It's the same in

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

English, it can be used in both ways. It's a matter that is not

00:27:16 --> 00:27:17

understood.

00:27:18 --> 00:27:21

And how do I put square this? Or how do I put this together? How do

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

I understand this in light of this? So it's more of a religious,

00:27:25 --> 00:27:30

that understanding needs to be had? And how do you combine

00:27:30 --> 00:27:33

between what I know here what I know there and that type of thing.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:38

And then we thought, well, we know the law, coulomb or the law, so by

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

the light of Allah, that the solution to every problem becomes

00:27:42 --> 00:27:46

apparent. And so it took out the whole philosophy development for

00:27:46 --> 00:27:51

new younger Inula. fear, the fear also the insight, the spiritual

00:27:51 --> 00:27:54

insight, of the believer because they see what the light of Allah

00:27:55 --> 00:28:00

and all of this is what it's the Femara of Taqwa anything. It's the

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

fruit of having taqwa and certainty. And there are many,

00:28:06 --> 00:28:09

this is one of them. And so by being with the people of Allah

00:28:09 --> 00:28:10

than with takim,

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

don't ask about a person asked about the companionship that they

00:28:16 --> 00:28:21

keep. Don't ask about the person asked about who are that person's

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

friends? Who were that person's companions? Who does that person

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

spend time with? Who does who's gatherings is that person

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

frequent? That's how you know so.

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

And then Allah says, Well, when you talk to Allah, Allah Maharaja

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

Allahu Akbar. And one of the interpretations, as he mentioned,

00:28:36 --> 00:28:41

to whoever has Taqwa of Allah, He will give him a way out. And this

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

applies to everything. He'll give you a way out of everything, of

00:28:45 --> 00:28:50

everything, no matter what is financial difficulty, that that

00:28:50 --> 00:28:56

bad health, that that problems with people does all the anything

00:28:56 --> 00:29:00

everything. So the verse is general Woman Yeah, and okay,

00:29:00 --> 00:29:05

maharajan, that he will give him a way out in the vastest

00:29:06 --> 00:29:09

understanding of that, this specific mean here is from what a

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

man could the mosquito and will murder that from every difficulty

00:29:14 --> 00:29:15

in problem.

00:29:16 --> 00:29:20

So how can you even approach the modern world and all the problems

00:29:20 --> 00:29:23

in the modern world and all the philosophical issues of the modern

00:29:23 --> 00:29:24

world without Taqwa?

00:29:27 --> 00:29:27

How would you

00:29:29 --> 00:29:30

without Taqwa?

00:29:32 --> 00:29:36

How would you? If you left on your own without the help of Allah,

00:29:36 --> 00:29:40

you're gonna have a problem. It's gonna be difficult for you. But if

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

you have Taqwa of Allah, Allah saying that when when you Takeda

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

whoever I stalk love Allah eEdge Allahu Maharaja. He will give him

00:29:49 --> 00:29:51

away he will give him understanding

00:29:52 --> 00:29:56

why it was so cool on top of all of that, and he will provide him

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

he will give him some high notes out of what

00:30:00 --> 00:30:07

ailment will famine, knowledge and understanding men hate life in

00:30:07 --> 00:30:10

ways that he could never imagine. Totally unexpected.

00:30:11 --> 00:30:15

Right? If you have any tesab These are things that you've done in

00:30:15 --> 00:30:19

order to that get something and send us a like and if you're

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

saying that, Ben Hey, through life, that's

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

right, meaning that you have like a particular job that you do that

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

job was a means for you to get a salary or the money that you get

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

monthly. That's any mdsap but then money just comes to you from some

00:30:35 --> 00:30:38

from other way someone just gives you a gift or that something just

00:30:38 --> 00:30:41

happens you hiding money comes to you from in ways that you never

00:30:41 --> 00:30:46

possibly expected. And sometimes it's preserving you so that you're

00:30:46 --> 00:30:49

not in need to spend and other times it's in warding off

00:30:49 --> 00:30:52

tribulations from you so that you don't need to spend as well.

00:30:52 --> 00:30:56

There's other ways that that happens. And sometimes a lot how

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

to suffices you things that you normally would want and then what

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

he does when he just suffices you that shallow inside your heart, so

00:31:02 --> 00:31:06

you don't actually even desire it so that you even have to, like

00:31:06 --> 00:31:09

spend money on or something. This happens in so many different ways.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:14

These are just small examples. But this is the reality. Allah will

00:31:14 --> 00:31:18

your Zuko Allah will provide from in haste who lie at US him? In

00:31:18 --> 00:31:21

other words, is it he'll give him that knowledge will give them that

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

understanding.

00:31:23 --> 00:31:23

And

00:31:24 --> 00:31:28

this is why there is no true approach to scholarship without

00:31:28 --> 00:31:31

Taqwa. And I remember being in the blessing garden shooting homeless

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

O'Hair, when the great Hadith scholars and scholars of Sierra

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

who lives in Madina Munawwara

00:31:37 --> 00:31:41

and did a critical edition of Sahiba hottie and a friend asked

00:31:41 --> 00:31:42

him about

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

I think it was like a name of a particular chapter, he looked and

00:31:46 --> 00:31:47

he said,

00:31:49 --> 00:31:54

You need a 2000 watt light bulb in your heart. Right? And his whole

00:31:54 --> 00:31:59

point was like, You need powerful spiritual light, to be able to

00:31:59 --> 00:32:03

determine the answers to these questions. Remember, because he

00:32:03 --> 00:32:07

himself, every one of the Hadith that he put in Sahiba, Hardy, he

00:32:07 --> 00:32:09

prayed to the gods of his Tahara

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

How does to the castle is too hard to relate to the objective

00:32:13 --> 00:32:17

criterion that made his book the most authentic book at all. They

00:32:17 --> 00:32:21

didn't see any difference. They go hand in hand, because that's the

00:32:21 --> 00:32:24

outward dimension. And he combined that with the inner dimension.

00:32:25 --> 00:32:29

And we don't have details but what happens what happened to his is

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

the hotter like which Hadith did he not include as the basis of his

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

jihad, we don't have those details. But the fact that he

00:32:36 --> 00:32:40

prayed is too hot is telling. It tells us about the importance of

00:32:40 --> 00:32:44

devotion along with that, scholarly,

00:32:45 --> 00:32:46

that

00:32:47 --> 00:32:52

that scholarly contribution so they go hand in hand. And then

00:32:52 --> 00:32:57

Allah Tada says, What tako Allah, have Taqwa of Allah? Will you only

00:32:57 --> 00:33:02

become Allah and have Taqwa of Allah, and he will teach you.

00:33:03 --> 00:33:07

Allah will teach you where you I live, welcome, Allah. So if

00:33:07 --> 00:33:10

someone says you can't be taught by Allah, that's Koran.

00:33:11 --> 00:33:12

That Quran.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

If you can't be taught directly by Allah, it's Quran, where you are

00:33:16 --> 00:33:22

Lim Kamala, and he will teach you some highlight data and then into

00:33:22 --> 00:33:27

college alikom for Allah, Allahu Akbar. If you have Taqwa of Allah,

00:33:27 --> 00:33:31

He will give you a full con. Right for Karna. That he will give you a

00:33:31 --> 00:33:35

criterion to tell right from wrong to distinguish right from wrong to

00:33:35 --> 00:33:38

distinguish truth from falsehood, to just drink this light from

00:33:38 --> 00:33:42

darkness, to distinguish that what you should be doing or what you

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

should not be doing to distinguish that what is the better of two

00:33:44 --> 00:33:48

goods and the lesser of two evils and all of these other means, pack

00:33:48 --> 00:33:52

with me, Allah, but we have to be what we have to be people of

00:33:52 --> 00:33:52

Taqwa.

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

And that's why is that

00:33:57 --> 00:34:00

Tofik will be laid off Tofik enabling grace is from Allah Jalla

00:34:00 --> 00:34:04

Jalla. And we have to strive to be people of Taqwa.

00:34:05 --> 00:34:06

And then if we are people of Taqwa

00:34:08 --> 00:34:11

and that's our heart. That's what we have to do. In order to be

00:34:11 --> 00:34:15

people of Taqwa. There's a number of things that you have to do is

00:34:15 --> 00:34:19

that it starts with learning. You have to learn your deen, how to

00:34:19 --> 00:34:24

believe how to practice how to purify your heart. And you have to

00:34:24 --> 00:34:26

struggle to implement it.

00:34:27 --> 00:34:32

And to remain upright. As you learn and as you struggle to

00:34:32 --> 00:34:32

implement.

00:34:34 --> 00:34:37

And you have to be around most important people taco

00:34:38 --> 00:34:43

are prophesized himself and enclosing a taco Hoonah taco Hona,

00:34:43 --> 00:34:46

as you've all heard me mentioned before,

00:34:47 --> 00:34:52

is that taco is here. Taco is here, ie in the heart. But also,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

it's taken from his hearts on

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

the harbor took their Taqwa from his heart, something nice in the

00:34:58 --> 00:35:00

tub. He took their taco

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

From the hearts of the Sahaba and the heart taco is taken heart from

00:35:05 --> 00:35:08

heart. You've learned to be a person of Taqwa from the Odeon,

00:35:08 --> 00:35:11

the Saudi that are people of Taqwa from the MacDuffie. And when

00:35:11 --> 00:35:14

you're in their presence is that when the blessing of being in the

00:35:14 --> 00:35:14

presence?

00:35:16 --> 00:35:17

It comes to you.

00:35:18 --> 00:35:20

And this isn't everything. We believe this and when it comes to

00:35:20 --> 00:35:26

dunya Why don't we believe is when it comes to religious verse. Want

00:35:26 --> 00:35:30

to be people of Taqwa we should be people of Taqwa and adolescents

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

that meet Kunal Asad, they can be with the people of silk of

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

truthfulness, and then inshallah we will be from them to live with

00:35:39 --> 00:35:43

your cane as a hadith A as the memos are the comments on that is

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

the Suma added your cane.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:50

So learn that certainty in other words, sit with the people of

00:35:50 --> 00:35:54

certainty. So the realities of certainty can also come to your

00:35:54 --> 00:35:57

heart man I tried to give Sophie lesson all over different affairs

00:35:57 --> 00:36:00

and buses things remaining days of Ramadan yada but I mean, as they

00:36:00 --> 00:36:04

say, Allah do not make our portion of these realities luck. Calacatta

00:36:04 --> 00:36:06

Listen, just the moving of the tongue.

00:36:08 --> 00:36:12

Verse of the Nasim Wafaa with a great portion of them, the mighty

00:36:12 --> 00:36:16

Judah Federico durante Nana yaa Rabbee Rabbee Shane Minaya hamara

00:36:16 --> 00:36:19

honey, walk banana Murphy now walk them down, because no one's

00:36:19 --> 00:36:22
