00:00As Salaamu Alaikum, invite endless blessings into your home.

00:06A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Nautil Arbain,
00:12Nautil Atikaf, Nautikhal wa Suluqh wa Siyam fi Hadil Majlis Ya Rabbil Arshadee.
00:17Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Ati Allah, Ati Rasul wa Ulul Amri minkum, and a reminder
00:25to myself and Abdakul Ajeezu, Dayeefu, Miskeenu, Zalimu, Jahl and but for the grace of Allah
00:31that His Rahmah and His mercy to dress us.
00:37And in this holy month of Rabbil Awwal that entering into the heart and the presence of Sayyidina
00:46Muhammad ﷺ and remembering the journey and the example that Sayyidina Musa
00:55wants to give to us.
00:59And Allah make all of tariqahs to study Suratul Kahf and to be the people of the cave, the heart
01:11of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
01:15And everything that we talked about running to the cave, then the example of arrogance
01:20and pride when somebody thought their sovereignty and their wealth will be sufficient for them
01:29as a protection but there is no protection from Allah .
01:34And then to the example of Sayyidina Musa ﷺ and his dialogue with Sayyidina Khidr .
01:41The Nabi Musa wants knowledges of a higher reality after witnessing the Muhammadan reality.
01:51When he asked to see the faculties of spiritual hearing and seeing, he asked to see, he witnessed
01:59the glory of Allah which is the ruhaniyat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
02:05After that I will not stop until I reach the two rivers of La ilaha illallah Muhammadun
02:12Rasulullah ﷺ.
02:14Prophet ﷺ opening that one, you come to me, you come to me with no title.
02:27There's no king, there's no slave, they're just servanthood in the presence of Sayyidina
02:32Muhammad ﷺ.
02:35So then the one whom asking to reach that reality doesn't matter what their station is, they
02:41are going to be humbled.
02:48Sayyidina Musa ﷺ wants from knowledges, Prophet ﷺ wants to teach the Muhammadan way of guidance.
02:57Sayyidina Musa's people were arrogant, arguing, continuously combative, not having manners
03:09for the messenger of the Divinely Presence.
03:13As a result Prophet ﷺ wants to show that not only you want knowledges but I want for
03:21you to learn the Muhammadan way of guidance.
03:27That when you come, you see the boat, you go on the journey of the boat, then the secret
03:33of the boat came out that one, you're going to struggle in the way of Allah , don't
03:39think.
03:40And people email that, I want to spend two weeks with you and just learn.
03:46Don't ever think you're going to sit with a shaykh and in two weeks he's going to pour
03:51into your heart what all his life until today he is suffering under extreme testing and he's
03:59just going to give to you in two weeks here you go zap in your heart and go on your way
04:03like a McDonald's and add to it, please, a diet surah .
04:08It doesn't happen like that.
04:11And Nabi Musa is asking, I want knowledges now becoming agitated, I'm here for knowledge,
04:20why are we on a boat breaking a boat?
04:23Public shame and public watching because he said, are you trying to kill these people on
04:28the boat?
04:30Nobody can see you, I'm on a boat and it looks like I'm sinking it.
04:37So that means what Prophet ﷺ wants?
04:40That humility versus arrogance.
04:45Humility is not that you bring tea for the shaykh.
04:52I've seen those, remember those guys?
04:54Oh shaykh you're this…
04:58Humility is not you talk humble, oh shaykh here, tea for you.
05:06Humility is Allah will humiliate you, that's it.
05:11Nothing in your control, nothing you have the ability to do.
05:15When you take the path, I want to be humble and enter through the door of humility then
05:21Allah I will humiliate you and deflate you from the presence of people.
05:28Because that's what the pain of humiliation is to be brought down by social opinion.
05:37By the opinion of your peers to be cast down, to be talked bad about, to be propagated all
05:43over the internet and all the representatives and whisper to him, oh he I don't like him
05:48at all.
05:49And all the fellow mureeds who already had bad character come out attacking you.
05:54To be brought down in the eyes of the public is the only door of humility.
06:03Not that you talk a certain way and you have tarif and you have all these beautiful words
06:08and they don't care at all for your words.
06:11You're better off not using those words because you'll be guilty of hypocrisy.
06:19That's when we talked last night, better you don't talk in life for every word you say
06:24is going to be like a rope on your neck that you took and you act but it's like hypocrisy.
06:31So that's why the level was silence, I remain silent.
06:36I won't overly exaggerate words of praise and love for you, I don't really love you
06:43like that.
06:44And Allah knows what's in your heart, the only way you love is after you've been humiliated.
06:52Then means you're a humble servant.
06:55So why was Zaini Musa having difficulty, he was being humiliated.
07:02He was bringing a ship down with people on it and a guide that nobody could see, coordinates
07:09that nobody could understand.
07:12So it's understanding of the Muhammadan guidance Prophet ﷺ is teaching that, I wanted for
07:18you to teach your people their rizq is blocking them because later when we're describing these
07:25levels of the nafs you're understanding the system of tariqah's guidance.
07:31Everyone's ship must be brought down and manipulated so that you big boom and bust, boom and bust you
07:40go down, your rizq goes down you have nothing.
07:46So that when the rizq is down you have a nice control with people, you have an understanding
07:53with them, they're looking to you eye to eye not that they're superior.
07:59And when the rizq is in danger and in fluctuation the servant is open, teach me, guide me, take
08:08me out of this life I have into a better understanding.
08:12So that my rizq and my sustenance is for La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ.
08:19Wasn't that the inheritance of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq to the tariqah?
08:24What did you leave?
08:25I left La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ.
08:29So means their whole power, their rizq, their productivity, everything is to propagate
08:37this reality and love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and they live good lives.
08:42Because Allah is rich, Allah is a bountiful, it's not a matter of a vow of poverty we're
08:49not going to all eat.
08:51But it's the rizq that makes the person to feel they are sovereign, they're independent
08:57of anything and they hold their destiny.
09:00Say I'm a doctor, I'm independent, I have an education, I make lots of money, I don't
09:07need you people.
09:08Allah can take all of that away by morning.
09:12You get an accident and you can't use your hands for surgery.
09:15So means there is no independence from Allah .
09:19Then wanted to show Nabi Musa ﷺ when you got to the boy this is the nafs and if your
09:26people are wild with you you're raising them to be wild and these nafs have to be destroyed
09:34and brought down.
09:36And then the whole science of the nafs.
09:38How dare your nation ask you questions the way they did?
09:42When Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ's nation was what?
09:47The nation of Samina wa Ta'ana .
09:49We merely heard and we obey.
09:53These companions were not arguing with him and debating him ﷺ.
09:59They heard and they obeyed.
10:02So then the second test was that, he's going to show you, my Muhammadan guide will show you.
10:09This nafs and this bad ego has to go.
10:13And the third inshaAllah we try to get to it tonight we still have the lessons of the ego.
10:19Is that you got to a wall and the wall had a treasure for yateem and everybody is yateem.
10:31We are all been yateems from Allah .
10:36We think our mother and father are the ones that are brought us into the world.
10:41But no Allah , Allah is the creator, Allah is my owner and I'm a yateem from that reality.
10:50And Allah has put aside a treasure and it's out for the public and shaitan is trying to
10:59take it.
11:00And what is it?
11:01It's the heart of insan.
11:03The heart of insan is all that shaitan wants.
11:08He's after everyone's treasure.
11:09He knows what Allah is giving to the treasures and the hearts of creation so he wants them.
11:17He wants to bring them into his kingdom to steal their treasure, steal their rizq, steal
11:23their nafs and their good character.
11:26That's why everyone's born at the maqam three of inspiration.
11:36What do they call this one?
11:37Mulhamma.
11:38Mulhamma.
11:39In English was?
11:42The English is easier to use.
11:44What's the mulhamma?
11:49Which one?
11:50Inspired self.
11:51Inspired self.
11:53Everyone born on inspired self, a vegetable.
11:59Everyone is in a state of vegetable.
12:01You can't move, right?
12:02Your parents lift you, drag you, wash you, whatever you do you can't do nothing you're just like
12:06you cover.
12:10But you have two destinies now, either you're gonna go down to Amara based on your parents
12:16making you to be wild or the circumstances of the life that you're thrown into.
12:20They'll make you into Amara where you go down and become wild, crazy, angry, violent and
12:28vicious.
12:29Or your parents inspire and guide you, teach you to the best of their ability to go up.
12:38To have inspiration, to understand goodness, have empathy within your heart, have compassion
12:43within your heart.
12:44To care, not to be judgmental, not to be against have a sense and a reality of muhabbat and love.
12:53And teaching Nabi Musa that these nafs have to be dealt with otherwise your people will
13:00become extremely difficult.
13:04And they will not be in Allah's favour.
13:08And when he got to the treasure and to cover the treasure.
13:14First thing that Nabi Musa asked the Muhammadan guide, let's… we're hungry, let's charge
13:20a fee for this service.
13:23And Sayyidina Khayr said, no, no, no, this is not in the permission of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
13:30You don't charge to be of service.
13:34A life of khitmat, a life of khitmat opens every rahmah of Allah .
13:41They don't charge for knowledges.
13:44The knowledge is free but you have an obligation to support because you don't take anything
13:50free and run with it, Prophet ﷺ will hold you accountable for what you learned.
13:56But they, on their side, they know that they should live a life of service.
14:00What do we do that we don't expect anything back from it?
14:06Any fee from it?
14:08Just to be of service to Allah .
14:11And that's what Prophet ﷺ was teaching.
14:14Their nation must be strong in khitmat.
14:17That they do what they do for Allah , they do their business is business.
14:23But to be of service there's a time in which to serve and expect nothing.
14:29But because Nabi Musa had asked, what about the fee?
14:34Their nation they charge for their temples.
14:38When you go to the temple you pay by row.
14:42So in your first row you pay millions of dollars, millions of dollars, millions of dollars and
14:49the poor sit in the back.
14:52So then now worshipness and money got mixed and that became an eternal sickness.
14:59There's no way out of that system.
15:02As soon as you charge for the temple and for the church or for anything and you say that
15:08only the rich can sit in the front.
15:10Only the rich have their way to Allah and the poor they're in the back.
15:17Then there will be an eternal struggle for money and everything has to be for money.
15:25Everything has to be for business.
15:27And it's so confused in the life that it's even for God they have to get the money.
15:34They have to go out, they have to conquer this earth so they can get a seat in the front.
15:40And all their social pressure is to get a seat in the front.
15:45So then you can see how the system is toxic.
15:51And that's from Nabi Musa asking, why didn't you charge for this?
15:58And Prophet ﷺ wanting to explain, this is a danger.
16:03This is a reality you're not, don't introduce it into your deen.
16:09And they did, they do and that's the toxicity.
16:13And every off-shoot of what they taught is the same system.
16:19They taught that system to all the off-shoot branches of religion and all those off-shoots
16:25they charge per row, million, five hundred thousand, two hundred thousand.
16:31And even the back row is not free, it's such bad seats you still have to pay something
16:35for the back row.
16:37So then now you're in a continuous difficulty of dunya so then there was a reality in which
16:45Prophet ﷺ wanted to teach Nabi Musa the Muhammadan guidance.
16:50You wanted knowledge, no problem but I want to teach you our system of guidance.
16:56So then tariqahs they are the Muhammadan guidance system.
17:02They are one, come to the tariqah, their du'as and Allah will begin to fluctuate your
17:09rizq and sustenance.
17:11If you make good sustenance and you're generous and good and your heart is open then you should
17:16have no problem.
17:17If you are tight-fisted the only thing that comes from tight-fisted people are lots of fights.
17:23Because they live a life like that, Allah will open the fist and teach the servant, no.
17:33Don't let your rizq be a source of contamination that clouding you from your reality.
17:39Then take you to the boy and say that this nafs has to be tamed, the bad characters have
17:45to be tamed.
17:46They said, nafs amara is the one that completely evil.
17:51When we read the characteristics of it we understand it.
17:57Self-centered, doesn't care about anyone, doesn't care how it gets to any goal, everyone
18:04they climb over anyone's head.
18:06Then we see those characteristics we say, oh okay 99% of this dunya is nafs amara.
18:11And the television show is just nafs amara.
18:17And then we said, shawarma then lawama because you're going to be cooking.
18:23No doubt Allah's greatness and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ immediately
18:28put everybody out of amara.
18:32Very few are doing those type of activities and sitting in a majlis of zikr.
18:39By the virtue of the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ pulled them out of amara and majority
18:45are in lawama.
18:49And the lawama was good and bad, thumma ammanu thumma kafaru .
18:54One day they believe next day they go bad.
18:57One day they believe next day they go bad but at least the consciousness within the heart
19:03is opening because the other one has no epiphany, has no empathy, feels nothing is wrong.
19:10Even thinks the bad is good.
19:14But the good and bad state the yin and yang nafs it knows, oh that was bad, ya Rabbi tawbah,
19:22tawbah.
19:24And then begin to learn the process of istighfar and all of the practices.
19:29Why the zikr saves and why when Allah want to guide someone out of these badness send
19:34them to the zikrs because Allah describes, hold tight to the rope.
19:40The rope are the turuqs because they're a line of najat and safety coming from the heart
19:46of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and immediately the shaykhs are throwing a line, a rope out giving
19:54the awrads, giving the zikrs, giving the nazar, giving all of the associations, giving
19:58help and email and every type of communication, hold tight to this rope.
20:06Don't think you can do yourself, the more you kick in quicksand the deeper you go down.
20:13So without a shaykh you see people thinking they make istighfar and it stops, no they
20:18actually start to kick and agitate and they go deeper down.
20:22You talk to them a couple years later they're really in bad shape thinking they're going
20:27to pull themselves out.
20:29But Allah loves you.
20:30If Allah loves you He doesn't want you to come to the Muhammadan way, doesn't want
20:34you to come to the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
20:39Why would Allah's love want you to be independent of everyone?
20:43He wants you to come to La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ in its reality.
20:52So then in that stage they understand the struggle between good and bad, most are caught into
20:57that stage and we said, Mulhamah .
21:08The third level of the nafs, Mulhamah the inspired self.
21:15That it's leaning more towards positive less in the negative.
21:20Two thirds positive, one third naughty still there.
21:25But because of the practices and the spiritual practices and all that they're doing you're
21:31opening up your system.
21:33You're being taught how meditate, contemplate, open up your faculty of thinking, of hearing,
21:41of feeling.
21:44The danger of that is if you're not building a strong relationship that's why they say
21:49if you're going to teach this make a help line, help me at Nur Muhammad for this purpose.
21:59If you're going to teach en masse how to connect your heart, how to open your heart then the
22:08guidance and the people who are listening have to have a firm hand onto the hand of the shaykh.
22:15Because you're now about to enter a dimension that you have absolutely no understanding with.
22:21Don't hold like that but hold firm, hold firm because they're going to whip you around.
22:28If you should let go of that hand in the middle of this many bad things have happened to people,
22:35many bad things because they fall under the prey of their nafs, they end up in jails and psychiatric
22:42wards and crazy houses and they end up in the grave.
22:48Because you're not going to open your faculties, you're not going to open your heart, you're
22:52not going to open your inspiration and don't think that 10,000 shaitans are there.
22:58Hey look, his speakers are working finally.
23:04You're sitting and making tafakkur and contemplation and you're not doing it the way they said and
23:09you're mixing it with other garbage and other reiki and other practices.
23:14You're opening yourself to all of this craziness.
23:17Not only you follow exactly how the tariqah tells you to do with the exact coordinates, you
23:23make it exactly how they do.
23:24You don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't do marijuana, you don't do nothing other
23:29than what they taught you to do and you hold firm to the tariqah because in this maqam
23:35you're going to have inspirations, heart, feelings and energies.
23:40But you don't know, was it from shaitan?
23:43Was it?
23:44And the shaitan we mean all negative energy, the bad jinns, naughty jinns.
23:49Think yourself in a masjid, they even believe in jinn but not mu'min jinn.
23:55Believing beings they can flip your life upside down just like a bad guy in a mosque.
24:02There's crazy people in the masjid, you're sitting there and you're praying and somebody
24:06comes and starts saying weird things to you and say, what are you doing?
24:09You think that people who accepted Islam are not bizarre?
24:13Yeah, but not a mu'min, a mu'min being never interferes because of the oath he took
24:19with Allah that he would perish if he intervened.
24:25They're contracting covenant with Allah , they never interfere in your life.
24:30If anything is interfering in your life it's not a mu'min.
24:34The mu'min they're under bound and under their bayah and their allegiance.
24:39If they should involve themselves in this human life they will cease to exist and Allah will
24:45take their existence out.
24:47So, anything that playing with you is not a mu'min.
24:52So then when you open yourself in practices you're going to feel, you're going to have
24:57inspirations and then you're going to start saying, I'm having dreams.
25:04And that's why the wisdom of their teaching.
25:08So when somebody emails or even we've said it on internet, dream, dream, dream, dream.
25:15The shaykh doesn't want to hear the word dream at all from you.
25:20Unless you think it's drastically you're dying and you saw yourself dying and even that
25:27has its own reality.
25:28But the dream world as soon as you talk about this subject we just described there's a hundred
25:34ifrit also listening with us.
25:36So anytime there's two the third is shaitan, right?
25:39The shaitan's listening, huh?
25:41Eh this guy likes dreams?
25:44Oh yeah we got you don't worry.
25:48Who's going to be sending you the dreams?
25:51The shaitan's all day long, all day long until your whole life is dreams, dreams, dreams,
25:59dreams, dreams, dreams.
26:01And you think them to be real and hundred percent false.
26:04You don't think they know a little bit of what's coming, a little bit of what's happened
26:08about a secret here and a secret there.
26:11And as soon as they got you that's how they locked you and they keep using it, keep using
26:15it.
26:16They will rule you with fear, with knowledge, with everything because you said you were interested
26:23in that so we divorced ourself from that understanding.
26:29So Imam al-Rabbani said, don't use that this is the lowest state, it's a reality and prophecy
26:37but you're not a prophet.
26:43Means tell yourself, I want nothing to do with dreams Ya Rabbi.
26:48I want that which is real and live.
26:51So go back under the carpet and make your tafakkur much harder because you have to have
26:57good character, good manners and good actions.
27:01At that time when you're sitting on your tafakkur and contemplation you feel the presence
27:05of the faiz of the shaykhs and they're teaching you that if you want knowledges are you achieving
27:12these stations?
27:13Because if you're at level one and two and you're expecting divine knowledges to come
27:17to your heart it's not going to happen, there's no knowledge going to come like that.
27:23These are much higher levels of the nafs have to be purified.
27:27When the nafs is purified it's doing its tafakkur.
27:31It left the oceans of badness and bad character, bad inspiration.
27:36It disciplined itself not to focus on dreaming, not to focus on incorrect inspirations and
27:43a strong connection with the shaykh.
27:46Why?
27:47Because you get inspiration they can impersonate anyone.
27:51It's not Prophet ﷺ and not the Kamil Muhammadan guides of which they're not but a one or
28:00two on this earth.
28:02Anyone else they can impersonate and they come to you, you follow Shaykh Abdul and his internet
28:10channel and Shaykh Abdul keep coming to you, come to me on the internet, come to me, watch
28:16my YouTube channel, you don't think they could do that?
28:21You're in the outer limits.
28:22They come to you to listen to this channel, listen to this YouTube, read this book, read
28:27that because now you taking guidance from that world instead of this hello world where we're
28:34right here, the guides are open to you, they're right in front of you.
28:40At that time the connection has to be strong, Shaykh I'm having dreams of following this
28:44shaykh and reading this book and doing and taking myself because of my problem, I want
28:49to go all the way here to resolve something.
28:52My rizq is not opening with what you're saying, I saw my dream to go and see Babaji in this
28:59village somewhere.
29:01They will impersonate everything and their teaching is that you think it's a divine inspiration,
29:08no they hijacked your line to take you off course.
29:13And we said last night, we have had very sad incidences where the person was arguing with
29:19me that they're inspired.
29:20I said, you're not inspired, I said, he's I'm inspired, I said that in five minutes you
29:25put your jacket on, five seconds later you take your jacket off, you put your jacket on,
29:29you take your jacket off.
29:30He says, no I'm inspired and Imam Ali is telling me to leave.
29:35I said, look I got to tell you that it's a lie.
29:40Imam Ali has nothing to do with you and he would not tell you to leave this training.
29:45You're under the effect of a jinn who's possessing you.
29:49Not listen, not listen and difficulty comes.
29:53So this is not something that you know people understand lightly.
29:58That's why that when this level is begin to open they're doing their practices then
30:03help me.
30:04Communicating not on the colour of the paint of your house and the inspiration of buying
30:08a coffee machine but the inspiration of making drastic decisions.
30:13Somebody had emailed, I'm deciding to sell my entire house and send you all the money.
30:18I said, it's completely satanic and you're not sending us that money at all.
30:23In the middle of a pandemic you're going to sell your whole home and send the money
30:28to me and then tomorrow say, you have a problem and you have to live in my living room.
30:33That's not an inspiration from the heavens but something whispering in your ear to cause
30:38you a problem and me a bigger problem.
30:41So when there's a shaykh they know, they say, no, no, no, send a small amount is good
30:46for you.
30:48So anything can come, any type of inspiration that level has to be very strong in their connection.
30:56So when they start to feel, I'm inspired, my heart is feeling good, I'm doing good.
31:01Then the strength and the connection with the shaykh so that they don't run.
31:04You know when we saw it in the silat videos.
31:09The silat masters when they're training their students, they're training them in tafakkur
31:13and contemplation and reliance, right?
31:18Hasbunallahu an immal wakil .
31:19Through the power of what's coming through these shaykhs they train, they train, they train
31:24to be committed, the shaykh takes hot oil and he takes the oil and he put it on something
31:30you can see it goes and sizzles it in a second and they start pouring it on them.
31:35We have the videos, the silat, extreme silat training, they start pouring it on them.
31:40The shaykhs pouring hot oil all over them and you see them struggling and the shaykhs telling
31:45them, don't you go.
31:46If you run you're going to be scorched from your… this burn now.
31:51Stay right where you are then you see the advanced one he's standing, standing and trying to
31:56control his energy to shield his energy from the pain he's feeling.
32:00As soon as it's over it takes the shaykhs hand and begin to make a du'a on him so that
32:05all of it is relieved and taken away.
32:08So, means this is deep in Islamic realities.
32:12If you run at these stages and go out for yourself to listen to yourself to every type of women
32:19desire and desire from yourself it can be very toxic.
32:23That's why then the firmness in the understanding and the connection with the shaykhs inshaAllah.
32:29Let's go to the fourth level nafs inshaAllah but tonight, al-mutma'inna .
32:36The nafs of certainty, slow so that anyone who wants to write they can write just key words
32:43and key phrases it doesn't have to be verbatim they'll send out the transcript that will
32:49have everything written inshaAllah.
32:53And these are from Ya Uloomuddin and the Rafai tariqahs they have it all written in the seven
33:00stages of the nafs.
33:02Mutma'inna .
33:05It is the self that has ascended to the first station of development towards intimacy, contentment
33:10and love for Allah.
33:12Its refinement is attained through increasing commitment and through honest and sincere fulfillment
33:16of obligations with respect to the true way with all its aspects, particularly with respect
33:22to human relationships and to the conduct regarding the acts of worship.
33:26The Prophet ﷺ said, the religion is in the conduct and the best among you in character
33:31is the best in faith.
33:34The secure self has entered the pathways, the methods and means of protection and healing.
33:38Hold on.
33:39So, what is it?
33:41It's adab.
33:43If you see and you witness someone with no adab and think, no they still must be pious,
33:51no, no they could be representatives of unseen beings and their knowledge couldn't be coming
34:00from those beings.
34:02So means it's what?
34:04The way is based on good manners and good conduct because they become very soft and subtle.
34:11As they're now rising up the nature of their reality is soft and subtle, they're latif.
34:18They pick up and feel energies and they understand that the vibration and the tone even their,
34:25the tone in which they speak has to be soft.
34:30Never harsh, never sort of wild and crazy and screaming and yelling.
34:38The secure self has entered the pathways, the methods and means of protection and healing
34:43through self-examination, resistance, striving and devotion.
34:48These efforts bear the fruit of certainty in the truth that Allah alone is the actor.
34:52He is the cause and motivator of everything for there is no God but Him and no Lord but
34:56Him.
34:57And Allah in all of His actions is merciful and generous.
35:01He knows the best interests of the self.
35:03This certainly leads to trust in Allah.
35:05The self becomes confident that what is with Allah is better and more enduring than whatever
35:11is in its possession or in the possession of others.
35:14So the self becomes secure and ceases to occupy itself with anything other than who it has
35:18trust in.
35:19You don't have to worry about any more in your fighting and in your characters.
35:23No, I have to tell this person they're wrong.
35:26This person is Allah speaking through them.
35:29Every situation is under the control and this understanding is tawheed.
35:41They understood everything comes from Allah , who are you fighting then?
35:46Who are you arguing?
35:47What is it that you're trying to prove in your argument?
35:51They understood because they're now witnessing Allah in everything.
35:55The one they're arguing back is more skilled and more powerful than you because Divinely
36:02Presence is pushing you back.
36:04So then they understood just stay quiet, stay quiet and have good character through this
36:09test because Allah teaches us, I don't change a condition of a person of my servant until
36:17he change what's within himself.
36:20So what's the most typical?
36:22People want to move.
36:23They want to go, they say, oh I just, I want to go.
36:27But the problem is you're going too and you're the problem.
36:31It's not the location, it's you that's the problem.
36:35Unfortunately you pack yourself in the bag and you go to the next place and you still
36:40there.
36:41And Allah promised, I'm not going to change anything, I'm not going to change any condition
36:45around you.
36:46It's actually going to be intensified now because you didn't seem to get the system.
36:51So they understood, no I have to change, it's wholly about me.
37:25So they reverse, Allah is the hammer and I'm the nail and He's sending every character
37:31to give a little hit, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding until you are ground beef.
37:39You came through the door as a steak, as a filet.
37:42Say, do you know who I am?
37:43Do you know who my jat are?
37:44Who my ancestors are?
37:45Do you know what my wealth, my status, my position?
37:49Oh that just means you're going to have more grinding because the big stakes are harder
37:54to grind down.
37:56Had you just come and said, you know I'm just like a hamburger nothing.
37:59And no problem because with hamburger you just couple slaps and it's already ready.
38:07They don't need to be thrown in the grinder.
38:10Blessed be the weak and the poor.
38:12Why?
38:13Because they're already down to the ground.
38:16That was the greatness of Prophet ﷺ.
38:17We're not selling rows in our masjid.
38:19Prophet ﷺ shook their system by saying, no I don't care if you're a king or a slave sit
38:26in the row and pray with me and they were shook that they were sitting next to a slave.
38:31We buy the rows and everyone sit in the back.
38:34And the greatness of Islam and what Prophet ﷺ brought, no, no, no I don't care who's
38:39a king and I don't care who is a slave sit in the front and pray.
38:43And the best of you is the one who comes the earliest to pray and this was the greatness
38:47and azimat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
38:51Knowing that no sickness in Islam, there's no money in Islam, there's no way to buy
38:55Allah .
38:59This is the first level of maturity for the self.
39:02The heart begins to shine with the light of consciousness, the ego's power begins to
39:06shrink so that purity, refinement, clarity and light dominate the heart.
39:12Now the self begins to show its true attributes that were previously hidden.
39:16These are the attributes of servanthood, helplessness, all power to Allah, humility, poverty, non-attachment,
39:24need and annihilation.
39:25So, these are the characteristics of a servant entering into mutma'innah.
39:34There were what?
39:35Those again shaykh?
39:36Servanthood, helplessness, humility, poverty, non-attachment, need and annihilation.
39:44You see that in your nafs in Ramadan.
39:49Right?
39:50So, you're not going to ever kill your nafs, your job is to convert your nafs.
39:56He's Hezbo-shaytan, he has to become Hezbollah not from Lebanon but he has to be with the party
40:06of Allah and which your nafs will work with you.
40:10Say, we're not going anywhere, okay I'm going to wear my kufi now I'm with you.
40:14And you see that nafs in Ramadan.
40:17He says, this guy is committed to Ramadan, don't matter if he's going to die or not die.
40:21So he wakes you up, time to have suhoor man, we're hungry.
40:26And you see your nafs is helping you so that it doesn't stay hungry, doesn't go through
40:31difficulty, you're eating your suhoor on time, you're breaking with the first person to break.
40:42Now he is under the command of his human soul which takes pleasure in following the example
40:47of the Prophet ﷺ.
40:48He possesses the qualities which Allah praises.
40:51He is kind, generous, patient, forgiving, sincere, thankful, content and at peace.
40:59Every word which comes from his lips is holy, either from the holy Qur'an or from the tradition
41:04of the Prophet ﷺ or from the teaching of his soul.
41:07He is a teacher not only through words but also by example.
41:12Miracles which transpire through him he attributes to other causes, never claiming them, disowning
41:17them to the point of denying them.
41:19His every action corresponds to the highest.
41:22He has regained the name of insan, a true human being.
41:25The name insan is derived from the word uns being close, intimate with one's lord.
41:31Thus his lord will take him by the hand and lead him forward without much difficulty from
41:35now on.
41:37Its remembrance is truth.
41:39For Naqshbandiya not only that but they open for you the reality of what insan is.
41:47In the huroof there's an article that we have for the huroof of insan.
41:52One itself has two nuns.
41:55In the centre is a scene of realities.
41:58The secret and the seer of all realities.
42:01That what Allah want to open is the diyyah.
42:05That your heart the light within the heart the diyyah the shams begins to glow.
42:10As soon as that light is sparked we call it you've cotton, you've cotton fire, caught fire.
42:17That your light is lit within your heart you get heated in associations, your sun is now
42:25about to grow.
42:27As a result of that nun closest to the alif all the secrets of ilmul yaqeen, aynul yaqeen,
42:34haqq yaqeen will become now the oceans in which you swim.
42:39That nur will reflect to the noon closest to the outside so that you become qamaroon.
42:46So that your heart is lit and your face becomes shining and your being is filled with the secret
42:53heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
43:00Go.
43:01The content self.
43:02Oh we're at the next level now?
43:04Nafs al-Radiya.
43:06Return to your Lord content, Surah Fajr.
43:10Yes Surah Fajr, Surah 89 verse 28.
43:15Where Allah Farajh, Salvation and Fajr is the time in which to reach to Allah and
43:25then the radiyah that return unto your Lord content.
43:32In which Allah loves that servant and that servant immensely in love with Allah and
43:38it becomes an immense love affair that begins to open.
43:43As the secure self ascends to its Lord the lights of the heart increase and fill the
43:48entire body transforming the sensual desires of the ego to the desire for what the Prophet
43:53ﷺ brought in the Qur'an.
43:54So love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and this is ishq and muhabbat of Allah , a treasure
44:01wanting to be known and alhamdulillah Naqshbandiyatul Aliyah is the immense love and immense depth
44:09of the reality into the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and start to opening.
44:14Because when you said before you're loving Allah and Allah is reflecting to you that
44:20I want you to find me and I reflect my reality into the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
44:27And then they begin to move towards the love of Prophet ﷺ's nur and light inshaAllah,
44:32wa nur Muhammadi ﷺ.
44:36Now describe these servants.
44:39Now hardship and ease are the same to it as our harm and benefit.
44:44So life and up and down no more.
44:47Bipolar states have to stop.
44:50Means bipolar state is that aesthetically happy when things are good and extremely sad
44:59when things are bad, right?
45:02Too much fluctuation in the character, no.
45:07When the reliance is upon Allah , the firmness of the heart and the death of emotions
45:14to understand it is like a flatline.
45:18You're not excessively happy about anything and you're not overly sad about anything.
45:24You're flatline because you're content that everything is in Allah's hands.
45:27They will be happy, tomorrow will be sad, tomorrow sad, tomorrow will be happy.
45:31It doesn't really matter, it's all going to be the same.
45:40Because it has become certain that every action and deed is from Allah alone.
45:45He is the one who grants it mercy and compassion.
45:47He is the one who is tender and benevolent towards it.
45:50Everything that is from its beloved is accepted and so it is content with everything.
45:54At this level the self's creed is that if it is tried it is patient and if it is given
46:00it is thankful and if it is deprived it is accepting and if it is wronged it is forgiving.
46:08It has now become the self with a wholesome and sound heart.
46:11It fluctuates in all its states between trust, tawakkul and regulation and contentment and
46:17surrender to Allah .
46:20The characteristic of this self is constant cheerfulness, gratitude and thankfulness no
46:24matter what happens.
46:26This is the second stage of the complete self which is the station of servanthood.
46:30Very few men can aspire to reach this high station.
46:34Up to and including this level, the seeker is taught by words and or examples of others
46:39than himself .
46:42Now he has approached the level of knowledge through personal experience and revelations .
46:47Up until now everything was relative.
46:49Now he is offered the truth.
46:51The manifestation of this state is love, all enveloping love.
46:55He sees all and everything as Allah's perfect acts, thus loving them as the actions of the
46:59beloved.
47:00He achieves perfect surrender to everything which happens.
47:04That is the truth of Islam.
47:05There is perfect harmony of which he is aware.
47:08There is no possibilities of error as he is the master of his nafs and the nafs itself has
47:12become a Muslim, submitting to its Lord.
47:15He does not want anything other than what he has.
47:18Therefore he does not ask for anything for himself from Allah, but he prays for someone else.
47:23His prayers are immediately gratified.
47:25He is seated on the throne in the spiritual realm while the exterior world is in attendance
47:31to serve.
47:32His acceptance, submission, pleasure, gratitude and love of his Lord are so perfect that
47:37the Lord responds with his pleasure for his servant in return.
47:42Then nafs al-mardiyya, the gratified nafs.
47:52At this stage, the self is not only content with its Lord, but also gratified by him.
47:56At this stage, the light of the heart is complete.
47:58The heart advances from wholesomeness to a heart that is in total awe of Allah, constantly inclined
48:04towards him, imbued with humility toward him in every condition.
48:08The people of this station are the people witnessing the manifestations of the actions of the names
48:12of Allah.
48:13Their witnessing in their hearts to the manifestations of Allah's power results in their awe in the face
48:20of Allah's greatness and majesty and all his actions, which are essentially the manifestation
48:24of his names.
48:25The people of this station are also gifted with unveiling and miracles that enable them
48:30to call people to the love of Allah.
48:32These miracles are essentially for those who deny and reject the truth, but who are
48:36at the same time called to Allah.
48:39So he sends to them miracles through the people of this station so that the egos of these people
48:43will submit to these miracles and thus return through Allah back to the path of Allah.
48:49For when Allah loves one of his servants, he seeks him and calls him to himself.
48:53If the servant responds at the first call, then he is brought near.
48:57Otherwise Allah seeks him through trials or through miracles.
49:00For Allah's command must come to be and it is utterly irresistible.
49:04This station is the last of the stations of faith, and through it the self enters the
49:07presence of the station of ihsan, the most beautiful station of excellence, which is the
49:13goal and the desire of the heart of every servant.
49:15At this level is manifested the bond between the creator and the created, with a love common
49:20to both.
49:21The creator finds in the perfect man the qualities which he has bestowed on him when he created
49:25him.
49:26And he says, certainly we created man in the best form.
49:29His own beautiful names, his attributes that he taught to our father Hazra Adam become
49:34manifest in the seeker.
49:36Thus the perfect man who has attained the level of deserving Allah's pleasure has lost all
49:40his physical animal characteristics, as well as his imperfect human aspects.
49:45Now Allah's divine attributes are manifest in him.
49:48And he sees the truth because he is blessed with aynil yaqeen.
49:53He sees beauty in everything, loves everyone, forgives the faults of those who do not know.
49:58He is compassionate, generous, giving, never asking, serving with all he has to bring others
50:02to the light of the soul and to protect them from the dangers of their nafs and the darkness
50:06of their worldliness.
50:08All this he does for the sake of Allah and in his name.
50:11It is difficult to recognize these beings.
50:13Their state cannot be described in words.
50:15They cannot be conceived with common ordinary concepts.
50:18Their one identifiable characteristic is that they are always in a state of perfect balance,
50:23like the center of a circle, like the fulcrum of a balance, right in the middle, neither
50:28more nor less the medium.
50:31That one took a long time on the nafs.
50:34Is the third state in which Nabi Musa went after the wall.
50:45And when he approached the wall with Sayyidina Khidr they were hungry, they asked and nobody
50:51gave them food.
50:54Then they came to a wall in which the order came, rebuild this wall.
51:01There are orphans here, there's a treasure and people will steal it before it gets into
51:07the hands of the orphans.
51:09And Nabi Musa asked that after we did all of this, how come they didn't, we could have
51:16asked a fee, we could have asked for something to do this work.
51:21And tariqah comes to teach us, this is the third and related to these levels of the nafs.
51:31That if you're trying to reach towards level 3 and up, mulhamah and up, it requires a khidmat.
51:41The only way to this treasure through the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is a life of khidmat.
51:50Because that's the example of the shaykh.
51:52That he learned from his shaykh and shaykh and shaykh and shaykh.
51:55Live a life of service.
51:58Live a life of service in which you don't ask and don't ask to be paid for your service.
52:04That I want this, I want that, no, no, no, I just want to serve.
52:09If people give alhamdulillah and if they don't alhamdulillah Allah sent from many ways.
52:17So it's a life of service to receive that treasure.
52:22And that that treasure shaitan is after the treasure of the heart.
52:27And the reality of building the wall is to be vigilant with our heart.
52:33Be vigilant with the treasure that Allah has set aside within insan.
52:38Allah had taught you these realities and then created your form.
52:47There is a treasure within everyone's heart.
52:52And to mine it and to bring it out the first level is to understand, I have to safeguard
52:57my heart.
52:59I don't let anyone into it, I don't let anyone destroy it.
53:02And I don't let myself to destroy my heart by engaging in arguments and disputes and fights
53:09and yelling and screaming.
53:10Because what's happening is it's crushing my heart and taking my faith away.
53:17Anyone who engages in fighting knows at the end they feel they have like no faith left
53:22in their heart.
53:23Whatever lights and precious realities were there as if shaitan stole them.
53:29They learned how to be quiet because they're guarding a treasure that Allah is depositing
53:34within their heart.
53:36That I know this test is coming to steal my treasures, hmm I'm gonna keep my wudu, I'm
53:43gonna ufawdu amr in Allah that Allah Ya Rabbi please I see that You're watching me, not
53:48only You're watching me, Allah You're sending this.
53:51Give me strength and patience to be good in my character.
53:55And then they begin to rise above it to reach towards that reality, to take from that reality.
54:02And their whole life was a khidmat and that khidmat opened every rahmah of their life.
54:09Because that was the good character that we started the whole talk with.
54:14The Prophet ﷺ is describing these maqams are only the character of good, good character.
54:20He didn't say that this is the maqam of the one who memorized hadith, this is now the
54:25next maqam of the one who memorized all of Qur'an and this is next one who memorized all of the
54:31memorization of everyone else's memories.
54:34Prophet ﷺ described, no this is the maqam of good character.
54:41Good character if it's displayed there should be no yelling, no screaming, no battling.
54:47All of these things they have to be brought down, they should not be accepted, they should
54:52not be acceptable.
54:54And we struggle our whole lives to contain them.
54:58And now with what's opening upon this earth immense negativity, immense negativity.
55:05And this negativity is doing what?
55:07Not only it's killing people making them sick with what they think are viruses.
55:11But the spiritual sickness, you see hate now propagated, you see amara on television and
55:18on radio so much so that when you turn on TV you watch everyone else is imitating this
55:25is normal.
55:26As soon as the television get off now start backbiting, backbite this, back one that,
55:30this one because you took the characteristic of the TV and that's all the dajjal wanted.
55:34We pray that Allah dress us and bless us from these realities.
55:40That in this holy months that Sayyidina Musa to dress us and bless us with that reality
55:48in which he wanted the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and took through a path of humiliation
55:55and humility.
55:56And the reality is that Sayyidina Abbas Qadr to dress us and bless us bi hurmati Muhammad
56:01al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
