00:00Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. We'll try to keep it short and sweet.
00:18You're on? This one insha'a say.
00:48And always a reminder for myself and by the grace of Allah we still are in existence.
01:10Who have a different way. The schools of Tazkiyah, they're training us to be nothing.
01:22Don't claim anything and pray for Allah's Rahmah and mercy to be upon you.
01:29If Allah should be angered and lift that Rahmah, all the titles in the world will never help you.
01:38So that before Allah become angered, better for me to admit my nothingness.
01:44That I'm Abdukul Ajis, I'm Da'eef, I'm Miskeen, definitely Zalib and Jaha.
01:52From holy hadith, they take a way of life for us to understand that everything has its basis in Qur'an and haditha Nabi s.a.w.
02:10From holy hadith, Prophet s.a.w. described that you will be with whom you love.
02:17And when Prophet s.a.w. described that hadith that you'll be with whom you love,
02:23someone came from the desert and asked the questions in the middle of the khutbah.
02:29He kept interrupting Prophet s.a.w.
02:30They said, Ya Rasul, that how to prepare for qiyamah.
02:35I had many questions and was interrupting the Jummah of Prophet s.a.w.
02:38That was the extent of its importance.
02:42And Prophet s.a.w. was dressing and said, Ya Rasulul Kareem, you have many rules.
02:48All these things we have to do, how am I going to prepare myself?
02:54He says that you'll be with whom you love.
02:57And the moment Prophet s.a.w. described that you'll be with whom you love,
03:02Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, rise.
03:06And was so ecstatic in his ishq and love that that was the greatest opening for Allah s.a.w.
03:13From Allah s.a.w. to Prophet s.a.w.
03:16The greatest opening which has every reality is based in that
03:23because we are the people of tafakkur inshaAllah, trying to make tafakkur.
03:27That you'll be with whom you love.
03:32Awliya come into our lives and begin to teach us
03:35that that hadith and what Prophet s.a.w. describes and speaks is so true.
03:44Put your whole life on that.
03:46You'll be with whom you love.
03:49We are trying to be lovers of Sayyidina Muhammad s.a.w.
03:54That are ticket.
03:57Then they come into your life and ask you,
04:01Are you trying to go to Allah s.a.w. with your amal?
04:06Do you think like, okay, I'm going to make all my prayers
04:10and I'm going to present them to Allah s.a.w.
04:13and He's going to be so impressed
04:16that I'm going to go with my fasting
04:20and I'm going to present it to Allah s.a.w.
04:23and He's going to be so impressed
04:25and that I gave my two percent, two and a half percent
04:29and Allah s.a.w. going to be impressed.
04:33So, how people are giving their lives for Prophet s.a.w.
04:37Do you think that your amal and they're reminding me,
04:41this is our way so that we share our way with people
04:43when we come to them
04:44that there are two doors.
04:47If you think you are going to approach Allah s.a.w.
04:50with the door of your amal
04:52and that you have pride in your amal
04:55and that you think your amal is going to hold a weight
04:59in Allah s.a.w. presence,
05:04Prophet s.a.w. warned,
05:06Sitna Aisha
05:07that avoid being judged by Allah s.a.w.
05:11don't enter the door of judgment of Allah s.a.w.
05:15pray that you are never judged by Allah s.a.w.
05:18for if you are to be judged,
05:21you will be found guilty.
05:24There's no one to be safe from Allah s.a.w.
05:27judgment.
05:29Whatever amal you bring on to the scale
05:31and you present it to Allah s.a.w.
05:33and then many other hadith
05:35that they come
05:37and Allah s.a.w. says,
05:38Ya Rabbi, I pray the most Allah s.a.w.
05:40tell the angels,
05:41take that one on his face
05:42and drag him and throw him out.
05:46Another one, Ya Rabbi,
05:46I gave so much
05:48and Allah s.a.w. again,
05:49take that one,
05:51tells the angels,
05:51take that one on his face
05:53and drag him out.
05:55Many we can keep going by examples.
05:58The Prophet s.a.w. wanted for his nation
06:00that you don't rely on your amal
06:05and think that your qirat,
06:08your hyfs,
06:09your actions,
06:10your prayers,
06:11your sadaqah,
06:13your hajj,
06:14any of that
06:15that you want to present to Allah s.a.w.
06:17and that Allah s.a.w. going to be impressed.
06:21So,
06:22don't.
06:23Don't go that way.
06:25Ya Rabbi,
06:26my amal,
06:27I know you're going to find
06:29so many things wrong.
06:31I do my amal because of love.
06:35So,
06:35when you come home,
06:36you expect love.
06:38You don't expect everybody in your home,
06:41you have to give them five dollars
06:42and then they kiss you and hug you.
06:45As soon as you walk through the durya,
06:46oh,
06:47Baba's here,
06:48here,
06:48it's five dollars everybody,
06:49everybody come and give me a kiss,
06:50okay,
06:50okay,
06:51great.
06:51The day that you don't give five dollars,
06:53nobody greets you with a hello.
06:56No.
06:57So,
06:57I mean,
06:57Allah s.a.w. is teaching,
06:59Prophet s.a.w. teaching,
07:00the best door to go through
07:02is not the door
07:03that you think
07:03you're doing something
07:04and getting a reward
07:05from Allah s.a.w.
07:06That you do it
07:08and Allah s.a.w. is going to be impressed.
07:09Wow,
07:10what a beautiful salah.
07:12But let me hold you here
07:13and tell you about your niyat.
07:15And as soon as you said,
07:16Allahu Akbar,
07:18the nifaq
07:18and all of the bad character
07:20and thoughts came into your heart.
07:23That as soon as you say,
07:24Allahu Akbar,
07:25you're thinking of your bank account.
07:28You were thinking,
07:28Oh my God,
07:29am I going to have sales
07:30or it's going to be slow tomorrow?
07:31How's it going to be?
07:33Imagine if you're praying
07:34behind a doctor as imam
07:35and he's thinking about his patients.
07:40Depending upon what the specialty is,
07:42it could be a big problem.
07:44Everyone who's praying
07:45is moving with that imam
07:47into their belief.
07:49What they think
07:50and as soon as they
07:51Allahu Akbar,
07:52the imam carries the whole jama'ah
07:54into that Divinely Presence.
07:56There's so many realities
07:59that come
08:00and awliya Allah
08:00come into our life
08:01and say,
08:02Don't put your hope
08:03on your amal.
08:04Leave that amal.
08:06Say,
08:06Ya Rabbi,
08:07I'm doing it
08:08because you ordered me
08:09to do it.
08:10I'm doing it out of love.
08:13I pray because
08:14I love you,
08:15Ya Rabbi.
08:16I know you're going to find
08:17everything wrong.
08:18I give from whatever
08:19I have,
08:20Ya Rabbi,
08:21because I love you.
08:22Ya Rabbi,
08:23grant me to go for hajj
08:24because I love you.
08:26Love you,
08:26Ya Rabbi.
08:27Not because I have to
08:28and I'm going to be
08:29the best haji.
08:30I'm going to be
08:30the worst one.
08:31Have mercy upon me,
08:32Ya Rabbi.
08:33So it means that
08:34every action
08:35should have a correct
08:36understanding
08:37and intention
08:38to safeguard
08:40the believer
08:41in what they do.
08:42That's why Ahl al-Tazkiyah,
08:43they come and teach.
08:46The one who doesn't
08:46hear correctly
08:47says,
08:48Oh, they're saying
08:49don't pray.
08:51Oh, it's crazy to say that.
08:53You have to pray.
08:55But don't think
08:56your prayer counts
08:56for anything.
08:58That Allah going to be
08:58impressed with your
08:59action
09:00because it builds
09:02an arrogance
09:02because we're going to
09:03get to the people of love.
09:05When you pray
09:06and you're amal
09:07based on arrogance,
09:08you begin to think
09:09your madhab
09:10is the best madhab.
09:13That you think
09:13your belief
09:14is the best belief.
09:16That your masjid
09:17is the best masjid
09:18because now
09:19everything has
09:21pride in it.
09:23We are the best believers.
09:25The other ones,
09:26they are kufar.
09:27Astagfirullah.
09:28They are Muslim.
09:29And they say,
09:29Allah al-ilallah,
09:30Muhammadun Rasulullah
09:31But because
09:33shaitan entered
09:33into the amal,
09:35he made everything
09:36that they do
09:37based on arrogance
09:39and pride.
09:40Then look back
09:42to the companions.
09:43Look back
09:44to Ahlul Bayt.
09:46How when you
09:47action
09:47and your action
09:48and what you do
09:49is based on love,
09:51that issue
09:52never comes.
09:54But when you're
09:55on pride,
09:56you think you pray
09:56the best,
09:57your jamah is the best,
09:58your masjid is the best,
10:00that's it,
10:00I'm not even eating
10:01with anyone else.
10:03They're not worthy
10:04of it.
10:05They're not worthy
10:06of me.
10:07Means then,
10:07every amal
10:08is based on
10:09arrogance there.
10:11So they come
10:12into our life
10:12and they teach us
10:13in the last days
10:14what Prophet
10:16ﷺ gave us
10:17as a title.
10:18Before you
10:19scream out
10:19Sunni
10:20or you scream out
10:21Shia
10:21or you scream out
10:23that you're
10:23from this madhab
10:24or you're
10:25from that madhab,
10:26what Prophet
10:27ﷺ gave us
10:28as an example.
10:28What's your title?
10:30Prophet ﷺ
10:31was sitting
10:32with companions
10:32and told them
10:34that I'm having
10:35a loving
10:36and a yearning
10:37for my
10:39what's the Arabic word?
10:43Ahbabina.
10:45He's sitting,
10:46huh?
10:47Ahbab al-Nabi ﷺ.
10:48He's sitting
10:49with holy companions
10:50and saying
10:51I'm having
10:52a loving
10:53and a yearning
10:54for my ahbab.
10:57Very deep.
10:58For ahbab al-Nabi ﷺ.
11:00and the sahabi
11:02were shocked.
11:04Ya Rasul.
11:05I thought
11:06where are your ahbab?
11:08He said
11:08no you're wrong.
11:10You're my sahab.
11:12You're my companions.
11:16My ahbab
11:17are those
11:19whom love me
11:20and they've
11:21never seen me.
11:24Means this
11:25is a tremendous
11:26door
11:27and a gift
11:28that Prophet ﷺ
11:29is giving to
11:30he says
11:30there's a nation
11:31at the last days
11:33that their whole yearning
11:35is to have
11:37one glance
11:37of my face.
11:39One dress
11:40of my face.
11:42These are my ahbab.
11:43These are my lovers.
11:44They love me
11:45and I love them.
11:48And they describe
11:49only on describe
11:50the sahabi
11:51were very jealous
11:51at that time.
11:53The love
11:53they have
11:54for Prophet ﷺ
11:55to hear
11:56that title
11:57that Prophet ﷺ
11:58is saying
11:58that you are
11:59my companions.
12:00Of course
12:00you're going
12:00to love me.
12:01You're seeing me.
12:03But there's
12:04a nation
12:04coming in the end
12:05that they have
12:06such an immense
12:08love
12:08and they've
12:09never seen me.
12:11Means they
12:12attracted the love
12:13from that time
12:15of Sayyidin Muhammad ﷺ.
12:17So then
12:18what all these
12:18gassa
12:19and all these
12:20nafs
12:20are teaching
12:21about muhabbar.
12:23Our title
12:24that Prophet ﷺ
12:26gave to us
12:27are Ahbab
12:29and Nabi ﷺ.
12:32That's the only
12:32thing we should
12:32be screaming.
12:34It's the lovers
12:35of Sayyidin Muhammad ﷺ.
12:38When you love
12:38Prophet ﷺ
12:39you inherit
12:40from Prophet ﷺ.
12:42What Prophet ﷺ
12:43was concerned
12:44about?
12:45His nation,
12:46Ummati.
12:48Don't break
12:48my nation.
12:50Don't destroy
12:50them.
12:51Don't curse
12:51them.
12:52Don't kill
12:53them.
12:53Love them
12:55as I love
12:57them.
12:57Love what I
12:58love.
13:00Be from
13:00Ashikin.
13:02As soon as you
13:03move towards
13:04Ashikin
13:05wa hubba
13:06rasul.
13:07It's not a
13:08coincidence
13:09of a title.
13:11It's a title
13:12from Sayyidin Muhammad ﷺ.
13:14How can you
13:16be Ahbab
13:16and Nabi ﷺ
13:17if you don't
13:18have hubba
13:19Nabi ﷺ.
13:21So everybody
13:22teaching so
13:23many subjects
13:24but the
13:25most important
13:26subject
13:27is the love
13:28of Sayyidin Muhammad ﷺ.
13:30Because it's
13:31Maqam al-Iman
13:32and Maqam al-Ihsan.
13:34To love
13:35Prophet ﷺ
13:35more than
13:36you love
13:36yourself.
13:38Then
13:38Awliya Allah
13:38come into
13:39our life
13:39and they
13:40say,
13:40we don't
13:40understand
13:41the
13:41darajat
13:42of the
13:42Sahabi.
13:44But as
13:44soon as
13:45Prophet ﷺ
13:45opened
13:46that
13:47isharat
13:47that I
13:48have
13:49people
13:49who
