recommanded Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah
while he was Sotheby woman, while Novena to Allah multiling
wonderful with Antifa what are the coveted key? What if added to what
is the father, but how to an atomistic YubiKey tabula was so
nice Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam What do I let Hoda with the
dollar affair? At what Sheila Mobilty who could be with the will
be subhanho wa Tada Omar Idema long and sada hadn't yet nests at
Allah and your other minute ournament I mean, it's that easy
in my opinion. I need your clean or Hochuli opinion while you're
still gonna come out and mortar but it we see it in more Sydney.
We just wanted to begin by thinking that what are being sr
sanem for opening up what I guess you consider to be an extension of
their home.
Offices facilitate this for us and
be in such a beautiful location. We were didn't feel like yesterday
that we were in Albertus, we felt like we were on a camping trip
somewhere else in some retreat site. Machelle not a lot of karma.
So, um, did he learn
to today Insha Allah, we're going to get right down into the book.
And that To recap, is that the title of the book that we're
reading is fit her basalt one,
which literally means opening the inner sight of our brother's
shadow dilla Islami will, Imani will certainly will add fun. And
this is a commentary or an explanation on the spheres of
Islam Eman sand and Irrfan.
Allah subhanaw taala real realize losses to realize all of these
using AI to other from the blessing of reading this book in
explicit month of Ramadan.
This is a month there is a constant, divine outpour of mercy.
And it is not far fetched. Allah is called it adequately shaped
that every single one of these words that we read every single
one of these phrases that we read every sentence, every paragraph
every page that we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make a reality
within this being the night to other and that's always at the
beginning, very similar, remind ourselves the importance of having
an intention and not just any intention, a strong intention
is it we're doing this for Allah and from the secret of the heart
of the author wherever by which that these words emanated from,
and there's no doubt is that the neuron years still remains. And
this turgid dude is a renewal of the radiance of those meanings of
light that emanated from this heart that was filled with light.
So that you and I, that 300 plus years later roughly can get our
Nasi in our portion. And what a great blessing. And this is one of
the things that we will see is that how he presents the book of
ALLAH SubhanA data and the way that the meanings continue to
renew generation after generation year after year. So if you're
looking on in the
transition, is that we will start on page 16.
So he starts by saying
Alhamdulillah after Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa
Adelman, Nan al Ali mill, son, and Mater for birdie. We look for your
tofi that Islami, what Imani or Sonny what Elsa Annie Shadi will
they earn?
So he begins as the all books of great scholars do begin with
Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim.
And you could go into a lot of details about Minato Han Rahim.
And in fact, that all of the meanings of the Quran are to my
say, that are contained in the Fatiha and all of the meanings of
the Fatiha are contained in between.
And all of the meanings of Bismillah R Rahman Rahim are
contained in the first.of the bat
what's called the NOC detailed map.
And it is here that the scholars of the inner sciences that go into
that beautiful detail about how that relates to our prophets of
Allah how they earn us of you seen them, but the.on the bat is not
the dot underneath the bat.
It's the first dot where you start the bat. So you start to above the
line and you draw it like this.
And then when you're done you put a dot underneath that's not the.in
fact that letters at one point didn't even have dots underneath
the dot that has been referred to is the first dot that starts the
bat.
And that it's
that not in vain. Is that that VAT is the second letter in the Arabic
alphabet, which indicates that something about the reality of our
profits on the law I do I do so we sell them and how ultimately
everything in creation is has been created from his light. And this
is not a belief that if someone doesn't believe that that they
will be taken outside the fold of Islam, but the scholars who no no
and point to this reality
so Bismillah R Rahman Rahim. And there are so many different that
things in our deen that were encouraged to begin with Miss
Minotaur Han Rahim. And there are multiple narrations of our Prophet
salallahu Salam, that state could look a little in the violin, every
affair of importance lie your do your behavior. The Sunnah had
recommended him for who Okta oh who edge them or who evernham
Different narrations is that all of them will be cut off from
blessing is really what it means. So every effect of importance that
doesn't begin with this monocular Rahim it will be devoid of
blessing.
And then one narration is it will be cut off in another narration,
it will be like an animal that's tasteless. And another narration,
it'll be like someone who has leprosy, all indicating
deficiencies, and in here being deficient and devoid of blessing.
And that the bat here, the scholars talk a lot about it, in
relation to what it means in the Arabic language. And many of them
say it's the bad esteana. Okay, which means is, is that the bad
that's used for seeking the assistance of someone or something
in something. And so here, it's as if you're saying when you say
Bismillah is that I'm seeking the assistance of the Name of Allah.
And that others that get point to different meanings. But
essentially, what we're doing is, is that we're recognizing that
everything begins with Allah, and returns to Him. And we're invoking
his name before everything that is that we do. And we want to
accustom ourselves to anything that we do, we begin with
Bismillah Bismillah. We begin in the Name of Allah, and so that
there's blessing in that thing, and that there's something that
happens as soon as we say this monadic wondering whether that can
be detected in the world through science or not, that's something
else. There are indications that when you that other these blessing
words is that it's etched into different aspects of Allah
subhanaw taala as Gration, I have a book and you can watch it and
some people say that it's not true science Allah Who item, but a man
from Japan that studied crystals, and when he would, he would let
say negative messages to the water and then freeze it that that
crystals would all be deformed, when you say positive messages
that they would be in nice shape. And then
that we can then think about what would happen then if you recite
the Quran? What would happen if you see this phenomenon, or heme?
Whether or not that can be scientifically detected or not, is
another matter, we know that it's true, is that there's blessing in
the intangible, unseen realm when you begin something with Bismillah
R. Rahman. Rahim. And so every affair of of importance, we should
always begin with Bismillah and that will have my say, is that
that Bismillah AR Rahman AR, he relates to all different five
categories of the Sharia, but it relates to the category in a
specific way. So to do something that is an obligation to do is
recommended to save smena to do something it's recommended to do
is recommended cebus Mita a permissible thing. It's
permissible to say Bismillah but that if it's something that you
can accompany a righteous intention to that it becomes
recommended, but if something's in mcru You don't say this means that
when you're about to do something mcru And if someone were going to
do something haram to save this minute from Rahim, to do something
Haram is also haram so that you don't sit use the best mela for
mcru or haram X, you restrict it to what is permissible, and then
what is recommended and what is an obligation unless there has come
something in the Sharia that indicates there's another way you
begin like the hotbar the hook but it's not recommended to begin with
some
Not only you begin with 100 ila out of Mahtab because that's what
our Prophet did solidbody but I do sub descending. And there are
narrations that indicate
is that our Prophet would repeat the baesman. Over and over. There
was a narration that indicates that he repeated the vestment of
20 times was run under him with me later when Raheem Bismillahi
Rahmani Raheem this midnight or one Rahim. This means that when
Rahim and among the wisdoms that I would point to, is that the
meanings that the prophets Allah liason was experiencing, every
time that was that he said, it was me.
And that should be a word that is that very familiar to us. And that
a word that is on our tongues often, and that there are so many
different things, every time that we every time we wear clothes,
when we enter that into our homes, that before you start cooking,
before you start eating all of these different scenarios, there
will be a blessing will begin this you know when he saw that, every
work that in that has been written by the aroma, they always begin
with this may not apply to him. And also because this is how the
Quran begins and they want to follow the book of Allah
terracotta, which begins with this may not apply in your hand.
And then he follows it up by that same and hounded Illa hero, but I
mean after acknowledging the Name of Allah, that He is the Most
Merciful and the He is the Most Compassionate. The next thing that
is befitting for believer is to praise Allah. Because we realize
this existence, would not be here were not to vie for Bismillah when
Allah to Allah to have willed this existence, into existence, you and
I would not be here. And that we have to recognize is that Al hamdu
lillah Oh, All praise be is due to Allah, gender Gerardo, and then he
starts to mention some of the names of Allah Jalla, gelato,
specifically, that relate to the giving of gifts. So he says here
All Praise be to Allah, the unique, the benevolent, the
tremendously beneficent, Beneficent, the Bestower of
gentleness and the one who enables those who he wishes to attain
Islam submission, Eman, faith, Eros and excellence. Irfan Gnosis
is a shared guidance in Vianne clarification. So I said I was
committed to breaking this down word by word, so we'll do some. So
Al hamdu lillah. Our Praise be to Allah. And you've probably heard
commentary on and Tom did he just we won't go into too much detail
there. Other than to say that one of the main meanings is, is that
we are singling him out for praise Subhana wa Tada and recognizing
that all blessings ultimately are from him, while becoming the atma
10. I mean Allah, there is no blessing that you have accepted as
from Allah. And then the first that description not that he gives
to him to his Lord is Lor hand.
And Allah Tada has that a number of names that point to his
oneness. So you have a head and a warhead, and you have L formed,
but here and what I heard is probably translated as the unique
and that it's interesting that he uses this name here.
Because the rest of the names that come after relate to gifts, in
giving gifts, and so that it's as if the author here wants us to
recognize is that Allah is One. And He's unique. And even though
the in the realm of the means different people might give us
different things. But Allah is really the only unique gift only
he gives. In reality, everything is from Allah, and that his first
name is Milan. So I've done Milan, this is really speaking about your
name that we allow here, but the name of Allah is Adelman, nyan.
And he translates it here as the benevolent and what men is an
Arabic men no human no is to that give someone a gift is to do
someone a favor to do something nice for someone. And this is
ultimately from Allah, that in a way that you could say in a
positive sense in Arabic, that substance such a person the whole
Memnon career Alia, right that I'm really indebted to that person. So
you'd probably translate that because that person has done so
many nice things for me. But then you have that men which is it has
a negative context for creation. And this is when it translates as
reminding someone of what you've done for them. So to remind
someone
know what you've done from this actually a sin, that's actually
sinful. And it nullifies the rewards that you receive for doing
the act. So we're not supposed to remind people of the charity, or
the things that we do for them, nor are we supposed to keep tally.
And that Oh, you do this for me. Okay, so I'm gonna do this for
you. Oh, you know, the, the Oh, yeah, give freely. And the way
that the earlier are, is that no matter what it is that they do for
people,
and no matter how great and no matter how much that thing was, no
matter how much they actually sacrificed, is that they consider
what they did to be nothing to be completely insignificant. And the
way that they receive what people did for them, though, is the
opposite. Anyone that did even the smallest thing for them, is that
they consider it to be the greatest of all things. Whereas
usually were the opposite.
Usually, we consider what we did to be that great, and what other
people did is right, to be insignificant. This is what we
want to inculcate within ourselves. And this is very real.
And this plays out in community that in many different ways, that
a lot of problems and community arise because of this. Is it?
Doesn't this person know that I've done this for them? Don't they
know how many times that I've done this? Don't they have any idea
that what I did to them, all the essential things, and then vice
versa. Whereas if we appreciate even the smallest of things, we
don't see anything that we've done as that really significant, then
this preserves relationships, and it preserves community, but a lot
is the manaan. And this is Sefa lavalla, as they tend to be these
great names of Allah. This is one of the forms that is an emphatic
form, Lin Nan, and He is the giver of gifts. subhanho wa taala. And
he is the one who constantly missed those gifts on his
creation, Soprano who went to Isla, and he is the One Who Is
that always show in his favor to His servants subhanho wa Taala and
that he is the one that we really need to be thinking. And then we
think creation because he's commanded us to do so to have
adequate data. So Allah is the unique and he's the manaan
and he's also al Alim and SN.
And so that here that you could just roughly translate this, that
he translates well here they're tremendously beneficent.
And that I sent a UFC new air Sanan is on the form F Allah, you
know if Ireland and it comes from Hassan or your center, which is to
be beautiful and to be good. And so a lot of other cortada is that
the true shoulder of f7
and in the SN that we have is ultimately from him Subhana wa
Tada. But then he recompenses any son, with your son,
and Allah to Allah is the tremendously beneficent, so he
doesn't just show son his son is alim,
and SN, when it comes to Allah's creation, there's degrees, there's
a basic level, okay, that's legitimately considered to be a
sign. And then there's a higher degree and a higher and to no end.
There's no degree to which that we can show up or son. And that it
really is only that the just as there's no degree to which how
strong our faith can become.
And there's no degree to which that our Islam could stop. So the
deeper that your a man gets, is that the greater the potential
that your Islam will also deepen, and the greater the potential that
your son will also deepen. So he is the tremendously beneficent and
if you really think about it, that what do we do to be created?
Absolutely nothing.
Is that this beautiful poem of Sheikh Muhammad Amin heavy and
that Haluk Tony Muslim and Malala Yanni that photo Luca Lim and if
in every year that you created me, that that Muslim in where it not
to be for your bounty, I would not have known the Prophet sallallahu
Sallam and another line will continue a couple of holiday Yeah.
Right is that
that you were there for me before my parents even
is a lot of other products into existence, and we did nothing to
deserve it. And then he takes care of us and he that keeps giving to
us and keeps giving to us Subhan Allah to Allah, and that we, when
you have ever been around a person of Sn is it's very difficult to
not love a person of F sign
You will love them. Because that we are people that are
biologically wired to love people who do good things for us. And
when someone's going out of their way to take care of you, and to do
good things for you, and to that help you in all of these different
things, you obviously will come to love that person then about Allah
subhanho wa Tada and that all of what we experienced from the
Divine Feminine so he is our L LD Well SN. Now one of the names of
Allah is all the L Aldine. But here is that it corresponds to
this great to attribute of Allah have been tremendously benefited.
And then he is I look forward.
I look to them with what built feet with tofi.
And so if someone were to fumble not in the sense of like the
football Yanni would hold, it come in turn to my presence here in the
sense of Tafadzwa LA LA is that He bestows something upon me and here
is that there's a particular type of to fall below that. Have you
ever found that a little bit funky, is speaking of that animal
perform the billet fee what Tofik.
So that looked is gentleness. And one of the names of Allah is
Latif,
in the name of Allah Latif combines the meaning of subtle
knowledge, and combines the meaning of knowledge, that of
giving gifts and subtlety. So there's a number of different ways
that you'll find the name of Allah Latif, translated, but it combines
those three meanings. And so sometimes you'll see it translated
as the benevolent and that's a valid translation. Sometimes
you'll see it translated as the suddenly benevolent and that's
just an additional adjective to describe it. Sometimes you'll see
it described as the gentle, or the subtlety gentle, but really, it's
all three of those meanings of knowledge, that gifts and
subtlety. So he's a Latif. And that so he is, and look the father
but not in through his the bestower of gentleness,
and the one who enables those who he wishes. So what Tofik that this
word is a very, very important word. And it's one of these words
that seems to just have to enter into English. Because no matter
how you translate it, yes, some context you translate as success
in other contexts, contexts, you might translate it as enabling
grace, right? But even that's such a fancy, that translation that it
almost sounds off you when you say it in English. And I guess someone
might know what you mean, if you say enabling grace, they also
might think that you're talking about amazing grace or something
else. But anyhow, tobique is one of those words, you have to just
kind of know what it means in Arabic and really stick to the
Arabic original. But it's a very, very important working word and
that with this meaning that he is referring to here, that it only
appears once in the Quran.
And that they indicate that this is due to the, the the nobility of
this reality, and the rarity of Allah subhanaw taala is creation
will not till 5011, Allah mitofit is only through Allah. And when it
comes
another time in the book of Allah Subhana Allah data,
what topia call it has the mean of reconciliation, not the meaning of
that Tofik as is met here.
And the general definition that I give is that what is Tofik? It's
halco called the luteal Abd halco law codes written out
Qudra to ta Phil abd it's Allah subhanho creating the ability for
Allah to add a servant to worship Him and to obey him.
And Allah to Allah facilitating that for him, enabling him to do
so.
And Tofik is what we want to ask Allah subhanaw taala for if
someone's Norfolk, alas, you don't worry about it. If someone is
morphic Holly, say that person's Norfolk Subhan Allah, Allah just
gave him Tofik Allah opened up the door for that person to that
benefit into that a sin spiritually and so forth. And this
was the duodenum what Rahimullah used to make, pretty much every
time he left his presence, he will make dua for tofield and Afia. You
say that all the time. It's
Short to the point Tofik and Afia, Tofik and Afia and Afia as well
being. So Tofik and Afia.
These are two of the great things that we can ask for. So that Allah
to Allah is the One
is that he bestowed on his creation, that rule through his
divine gentleness in his divine, that, that enabling the ability
for the creation,
to that attain all of these things that he's now going to speak
about. So and what the Father the lottery will trophy at length
isn't. So it was only because of his fondo is bestowing upon us
which has come through His Divine Generosity, and subtlety,
generosity in his come through his enabling grace that has allowed us
to experience anything of the reality of Islam in Mount Sinai.
Those trends I think we all know him previously that we've
discussed we won't go into too much detail there, but then he
adds others is that in fun, and in fan is Gnosis Malefor Allah
subhanho wa Taala
Irrfan is just another way of saying mattify
and then it is shad which is guidance in the urine, which is
clarification
and that we're not to be for these realities and Allah Tada enabling
us to come to know them, we will be cut off from so what a blessing
from Allah subhanho wa Taala
Okay, so is everyone good to there now?
I know normally we don't ever do questions, Durban Feel free. This
is supposed to be very relaxed.
That session that is that is catered to all of us present here.
So if you have any questions about any of the words, or any closely
related question to the meanings that we're discussing, feel free
to anytime just to raise your hand and if you have any need for
clarification or you want to share something that you also know with
everyone here that's that's most welcomed. And it was
can you repeat the definition of tofield?
No, no Haleakala that called the router will add.
In the opposite of Tofik is borderline.
Right, the Arabs will say hello. Right. He just abandoned him into
neglected him. Hello.
And as it has in a sense of like, especially when, like someone
needs, you know, you just abandoned him and let him Let him
waste away.
Okay, what
do we know? Sorry, don't answer this.
So how do we know if
you're still just in their obedience? Like?
How would you be sure that what's not being abandoned?
Absolutely.
And the the, the, it's important for us now to understand the
importance of obedience of Allah. And sometimes, because of the way
that some people present a view of Islam
as solely rule based, is that our the first thing that comes to our
mind when we think of like obedience, might be some of that
can even pushes us away. And we really have to deal with that.
Because while at the same time, we have to not present this Deen
solely as a set of rules, we have to present it in all of its
dimensions, at the same time, that we have to recognize the
importance of obedience. And is that this is really, that why the
heavens and the earth was created? Right, was so that human beings
can have the ability to freely choose to obey Allah. And then in
doing so, and this is a type of worship, of course, we can come to
know Him. So the whole point of obedience is not conformity for
the sake of conformity. The whole point of taught of obedience is so
that we can come to know Allah.
And so, the greatest sign of Tofik is how close you and I are to the
obedience of Allah.
how close we are into putting that Allah subhanaw taala is Allah His
commandment
into, into into practice, and how distant we are from that his Noah,
he his prohibitions, and that the more that is facilitated for us at
the level of belief, and at the level of practice and at the level
of character, is that the greater portion that we have of tofu. And
so that that's it's actually a fairly easy criterion, how close
are we to obedience, and,
most importantly, that that take place in the heart level, even if
we fall short outwardly,
that a healthy heart, even if they fall short, outwardly, will not
feel comfortable with what it is that they did.
And that's a healthy feeling. And that's a feeling that stems from
Iman. And then there's degrees of Tofik, of course.
And the common draw a common prayer of the righteous is Allah
Azza, WA, fitna, tofi kosali hain or Allama will feel cool if you
speak into making dua for someone else, that Oh Allah, the greatest
the Tofik of the Salah him. So not just that we have a general Tofik
that we wanted to view of the Saudi thing.
So then he goes on to that further,
that say, that is the rosary so it hamdulillah so that entire
sentence from El warhead till well will ban
all of that was a clarification of that, how what it is that we
attribute to Alon describing ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And then he also
says, that is the result. So this is where Arabic grammar comes in.
Like how do you know is that a federal sword as opposed to a
thorough sword? Right? Because here that it goes back to 100
Lila, okay. So it's also a nat of Allah. It's a further description
of our Lord, that He is there that at the rustle that he translates
here as that. So in English, there's a period. And then it
starts with a capital it, but an Arabic the sentence can just
go on. And there's no punctuation. And as we were reading today
earlier, it's actually better in most books, not to look at the
Arabic punctuation or the English, English sized aerobicized English
punctuation, because it will throw you off. And oftentimes, it's
simply wrong, where it's actually not where it's supposed to be.
Here, it seems to be okay for at least so far, but I wouldn't look
at the punctuation. So period, it is He who sent the messengers,
that the outro is to send it to dispatch. And this is where we get
the word for the resurrection, the bath is the resurrection
in Allah Yep, ortho min Phil Qubool, Allah subhanaw taala
resurrect those who are in their graves. And so that the bath is
also that this urge, that is the beginning of the spiritual path,
the entire spiritual path, if you trace it back to its very, very
beginning, that it begins with a bath, right, and it's transmitted
roughly as a powerful urge.
And sometimes it could be from fear. Sometimes it could be from
Hope. Sometimes it could be from longing or love. Sometimes it
could be from a major event that someone happens in someone's life.
There's a lot of sources for it. But remember, her dad wrote a
whole book about this Beth, called dad so you can read, and its
transit has good manners, the whole book centers around that,
where he says this is the beginning of the spiritual path.
And then he tells you how to receive it, and then what to do
once it's received. And it's an incredible book. That is very,
very important. But this is how it begins. And if you that the vast
majority of people that converted is that all of most of their
stories centered around this.
Somehow they were compelled to search for something to look for
something there was something that they felt uneasy about their
something they didn't feel comfortable with or something that
they didn't have that they wanted and that they then searched for
it. And so that you could refer to this in terms of as a source of
Eman just as you could refer to it specifically as the source of the
spiritual path, but here the bad ethics refers to Allah. He is the
one who sins the sender, the one who dispatches also the plural of
real soon, which are the message
jurors, Cindy watts, Allah He I lay him and then of course that we
refer to them with the utmost respect so while to law he I lay
him which then immunes the prayers of Allah upon them. And when we
talk about prayer from Allah is that it's Rama, a special Rama and
mercy that Allah to Allah bestows upon His messengers. So the what
Allah Allah him so by Ethel recently, he is the one who said
the messengers with with big bat will fall upon
that all of the words of have done 100 I've done a bit funky or
precise and carefully chosen.
So he was just speaking about Allah was the reality is that any
experience we have an event or something sad or anything else he
mentioned, Allah is the multifocal it comes from Allah. But he is
also the Warrens, subhanaw taala, who created the realm of means
he's the one who sent the messengers with the key word for
color with realization in discernment. So, that half is
true.
And haka, you have pico that literally means to that make that
truth, a part of yourself to realize the truth realization
tactic is realization. So why did he mentioned that? Is that so that
Islam in our accent doesn't remain some abstract idea that we have no
true idea about? No, the messengers came that with the way
that through following them, you will realize those realities. So
this is the whole purpose of the messengers, in other words, is
toxic. Is it so that we can realize our Islam, our iman and
our son, and our interferon and so forth? That's the whole purpose
Allah sent them.
Everything about their teachings encouraged us to do that. But then
also when photocall on he translates it here as discernment,
which is a good translation. And the idea of for Khan Thorac. Is
that a difference? Middlefork been academica that what is the
difference between this or that, and that a 40 IQ is a team. So you
have one team on one side, and you have another team on the other.
And normally think of the word team now we think of soccer teams
and football teams, but that the real follicles for the Penfield
Jannetty, were for a confessor and rakia, right? There's going to be
one group, I wouldn't translate it here his team, right in Paradise,
and the other one is sort of Sam and Afia in the fire.
So that it's also that differentiation. Okay, and that
the idea for Khan here really is, is that the messengers came with
the criterion whereby which truth can be distinguished from
falsehood. Truth can be differentiated from falsehood,
truth can be discerned from falsehood. So they came with a way
that there was a full con.
But then
he's going to further that describe Allah as the following.
One will have sis and Mustafa is that Allah is the One who singled
out Al Mustafa. That's our Prophet sallallahu Sallam The Chosen One
is stuff is stuffy is to choose, it's to choose the software is to
choose what is best. So a prophet satellite center, he has many
names that indicate that he was chosen by Allah, and Mustafa is
one of them, and in which Tebah is another and Maca is also one of
those names is that he has many names like this son, Allah I do
send them to indicate that Allah to Allah singled him out will
hustlers and Mustafa Hassan you host this show is to give someone
a hacia which is a special case trait or a special characteristic.
And the HA HA sia or the house of something, or the everything in
creation has certain properties. And why does a magnet attract for
instance, why does this particular herb heal this particular disease?
Why is this particular element useful in this particular way?
Everything has a hacia everything has special is that you that have
certain elements that you build things with. You have other
elements that you that plant things in, everything has a hacia
and this is from his creation, but of all of the special traits that
he gave to creation
In everything that he distinguished that these things in
creation firm, no one was singled out, like our Prophet sunnah
liason with the greatest of possible that special traits that
someone could have. He is the Mahasiswa Mustafa SallAllahu
sallam, Min Baynard name from Allah Allahu benei. him here, hold
refers to who?
For those that are in Arabic costs.
So he's the one who singled out that
and Mustafa that from among all of the other messengers with what the
dot with tilde jam at liquidly dot Witten will ban Allahu Akbar that
he has singled out the chosen one from amongst them to receive the
call that encompasses every call and clarification. So what is he
saying here? And the thing is, we believe this. But we only believe
this with iman, because we don't have the details of the ways of
all of the messengers who preceded us. We don't know everything about
all of their religions, we would never truly be able to understand
that a soul someone I sent him, and what is being given by Allah,
that we would only truly understand that what we understood
everything about what they were being given to, and to see how our
Prophet Salam license has been selected. Is that among all of
them adapt what to Jamya? Right, he has been given the
comprehensive call. Okay. And we again, we use this word doubt,
well, I'm going to repeat this until you're like, Please stop
saying that, right.
But it's really important. There are certain groups that use these
words, and then it comes fix it in someone's mind. This is what that
one means. This is what she means. This is what ta means. And we have
to recapture our sacred vocabulary, that the word Tao is
nothing but positive or profit called, to whom Allah. When were
we talking about that? We were talking about that some other
time? When we're talking about that? Was it a lie in the hotbar
last Friday, where they're in Iraq, or when was that anyhow,
with Dan it Allah, a prophet did not call it to himself or anything
in creation. His call was to Allah could have he severely Edo il
Allah, I call to Allah.
And there's nothing greater to call to than ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada. So his Dawa his call, which is essentially to nothing of this
world. Rather, he called us to live in this world as a stranger,
or as a wayfare. Someone who's just passing by. So the call is to
the Hereafter. And what's the whole purpose of being in the
hereafter is to know Allah, this is the call. So it's a Data Jam.
Yeah.
It is a comprehensive call. It is a universal call. You can even
translate Jamya here as universal, it's a universal call.
And because it relates to every single human being on the face of
this earth, in every that, that every inch and corner of the earth
from the time of the prophesy centum until now,
it is a Dawa JAMA, he is only he is the only universal Prophet, son
Allah is IV son in his dat with Jeremy
and Jeremy are for what liquidly Dalton will be N? Is it it
encompasses every call in clarification. So every profit and
every messenger that was sent to their people, and the way that
they approached them, and the way that they addressed them, and the
nature of their shoot er, and how it fit their people that they were
specifically sent to, is that the Prophet SAW I sent him is that his
way encompasses all of those ways? And that his by Yan, the prophets
clarification, is that clarifies that universally, that all of
those individual ways that those prophets, prophets clarified the
way to Allah to their people.
And it is that one droplet in the ocean of this meaning is that you
will find in the books of the scholars of salt, they say is that
the number of paths to Allah? Are the number of breaths of creation?
In other words, is it what a blessing is it everyone
ultimately, like we have a unique thumbprint is that everyone
ultimately has a unique path. What the great Imams of the well known
spiritual paths did is that they formalized that general ways of
traveling the path to Allah subhanaw taala to make it easy for
people that came after that and we're
In there baraka and callous.
But the reality is, even if we are a part of a specific spiritual
path, is that everyone will subjectively or rather a better
word to us individually relate to that specific path.
And so what's important is for you, and I did figure out what is
our path to Allah, that what is going to be the means for you and
I, to come to Allah. And it's actually not that hard to
determine. You just have to look at your circumstances. And you
have to combine with that, that looking at your own, that God
given gifts, and seeing how that you can use those for his sake
Subhan Allah Tada. And if you do that,
is it it will come clear to you that how you specifically relate
in that way. So our Prophet has been singled out Salah Lysander
with a comprehensive Donald, but do we realize the implications of
this? How is it that you could have people 1400 years later
raised in the United States of America,
find everything that they're looking for in this deen and then
everything that they were looking for, compare it to, that what
really exists out there for them to know is a drop in the ocean.
They were given everything they want, and then open up to a world
of things that they didn't even know that they wanted or should
want. And then call us It never ends is that the doors that keep
opening up from the Mercy of Allah subhanho wa taala. So luckily Dawa
10 Well, then a woman walk in and bar hidden Ovaltine in Fiji is
shine and we will stop on this point and in the future will
probably not go into this much detail, but just we wanted to
start in this way from the first to the last inwardly and outwardly
in every affair. So, you could understand this, a woman will
Arkadin in a number of different ways from the beginning of the
path to the end of the path from in a time related way, in terms of
that, the first of the time, that to the end of the time. So you can
understand this a wooden Arkadin from beginning to end in different
ways, and then outward inwardly and outwardly, that's clear.
Everything that we need inwardly and outwardly, just perfect
balance between the two will be Jimmy a shine. And in relation to
every single affair, there is absolutely nothing that we could
potentially do, except that not only has a haircut, it has a legal
ruling, it has a judgment that it can be given and that there's
elements, there's an aspect of guidance from our deen that tells
us what to do in that situation.
That not just from the standpoint of law, but from how to approach
it from the standpoint of belief that what is the best of the two
options, how to understand it relation to our own self, other
people how to relate it to understand in relation to the
past, present, and future, and everything else, we have no idea.
We're so immersed in the blessings of the dean of our prophecy
center, we have absolutely no idea what it is that we have. And all
we can just do is it when we start to read books like this, that
start the process of beginning to unlock the door where we peek
through and we start to see the incredible vistas that are out
there. It's just think Allah subhanho wa Taala is where he
began with and hamdulillah and ultimately, he's thinking a lot to
other for this specific blessing that he chose our most of our
satellite sent him with this way that was for all people in all
times and that everyone can find a way to Allah to Allah through the
teachings of our Prophet Sunday night he sent me a lot a lot of
data that open up the meanings of this book to us to give us hope we
can all have different affairs and we come to love Him and praise Him
Subhan Allah to Allah and may we continue to receive his son and
continue to receive this the hope that it any outcome that our mean
may give us Tofik and all of our different affairs and bless this
