00:00What did I say? Asking Shaykh Muhammad to connect us up to Shaykh Nazim, Shaykh Hashem to connect us to Shaykh Nazim, and then as it goes, the chain to the Shaykh, and grant us, grant us a good understanding and a good practicing.
00:30In these difficult times, good adab, good behavior. How does the du'a in Sejda for Tahajid go? I never remember it.
00:46Oh my Lord, my ego is plunging me into jealousy and anger and bad behavior. Oh my Lord, change that behavior into good behavior.
01:00Good, good behaviors. And we're asking to be our behavior, to be, as we make the du'a in Yulm al-Jumma,
01:14to hit the target. Hit the target. What's the target?
01:25In witnessing and in reality, you are our target.
01:43And your pleasure is what we're seeking.
01:48Allah, Sonia, Shaykh Muhammad.
01:52Sayyidah, Oliyahu, Allah.
01:54Also, Rabbi, Arina She'a Kamahiyah.
01:59Kamahiyah.
02:01Let me to see things as they really are, said Prophet Salman.
02:06Let me to see things as they really are.
02:09What to do, what to do in our lives, we're faced with so many situations, problems, tests, hurdles,
02:37to pass over, or to overcome, or to challenges, to meet.
02:45And we ask our Lord the best way for that, that He should be happy with us.
02:53Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, Qadr wa Muqtadir.
03:04Shaykh Nazim once was reciting to us from the Grand Sheik's description of the Asma al-Husna,
03:12the beautiful names of Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
03:15And Abdul Halim remembered that he came to Al-Qadr.
03:21Al-Qadr.
03:26And I remember that he stopped at Muqtadir, the intense form of it.
03:37Grand Sheik was speaking on the names when he came to Muqtadir.
03:40What to say afterwards?
03:42Allah is absolutely able to fix everything, absolutely able to correct everything,
03:56absolutely able to do everything.
03:58But, he gave human beings free will in this life to carry on according to their best understandings
04:12and what they want to do.
04:16He gave us like that.
04:19Some, he ordered us to keep the right ways, the good ways, sent prophets and the seal of
04:26prophets to teach us, keep it.
04:29Follow that way.
04:32He said, if you keep the right way, you find yourself in happiness.
04:37That ayat we just read.
04:39If you don't, you should find yourself in difficulties and it's going to be your responsibility.
04:43If he didn't give us free will or choosing, what's going to be the meaning of good or bad,
04:58jannat or jahannam, what's going to be the meaning for that?
05:01It has to be the result of choice.
05:05You choose.
05:06We ask him to make the correct choices or the good choices, to be able to know in our hearts
05:19which is the right one.
05:22May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala grant us the mere conscience, the equipment.
05:33Every human being has original equipment, a conscience.
05:38We have a heart, we have two lungs, we have liver, we have intestines, we have brain, we
05:43have what we have.
05:45We also have conscience.
05:48That conscience is our original equipment meter to tell us yes or no, right or wrong,
05:53stop or go, right or wrong, stop or go, yes or no.
06:00But we're not using it.
06:01Yes.
06:03Oh, our Lord, grant us, grant us that the Amir and that Furkan to know right from wrong
06:11and grant us to keep the right way and grant us hikmat, wisdom.
06:18Who has been granted wisdom, has been granted overflowing benefit, but no one can know that
06:36except those who have the secrets of knowledge, the kernels of knowledge, the essences of knowledge.
06:46May Allah make us to be with them, to take from their drops.
06:50It's a big thing to ask to be one of them, but to be with them.
06:54Grant us wisdom to guide our actions, how they're going to be.
07:07You might want to do something, it's going to cause a problem for us later.
07:12Allah says, when some falsic corrupts, one brings you news, verify it with Allah and his prophets,
07:19Allah has said, and with Ul-Amr, those who know.
07:23There's Aulia, there's your sheikh.
07:25Before you do something and then you regret it later.
07:28Or say something and then you regret it later.
07:30Sheikha Sam used to say, you can think this or think that, don't say it.
07:36Once you bring it out, it's out in the world.
07:39Hard to clean it at that time.
07:41Difficult.
07:44Difficult.
07:45And these instruments make it even more difficult.
07:54Everything goes everywhere.
08:00In one second, you make a mistake, poof.
08:14How many people posted this and posted that today?
08:18I'm afraid to read it.
08:23If you don't post, they say, what's the matter with you?
08:25Why are you not active?
08:30What we're going to say?
08:34What we're going to say?
08:36Father, grant us wisdom.
08:51Hikmat restrains action.
08:53You want to do wisdom, stop you from doing something hasty.
08:59Let's say hasty.
09:00Until the correct action should come out.
09:06Good thing to do.
09:09May Allah grant to our hearts wisdom and knowledge.
09:14And to know the correct thing.
09:17We're approaching the time.
09:20Masihid Dajjal.
09:22Antichrist.
09:23In the time of the Dajjal, Dajjal will show, it's a famous hadith, will show two rivers.
09:32One of milk and one of fire.
09:36He said, pick the fire.
09:38That's really the milk.
09:39And the one he's showing his milk is the fire.
09:43So we're asking to know which is which.
09:46We'll be able to choose correctly.
09:48You decree and we can't decree anything.
10:08You know and we don't know anything.
10:10You know everything.
10:11Oh, our Lord.
10:12We're asking our Lord to reconcile the hearts of believers.
10:21There was an incident in the time of Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
10:25When there was a problem among the Sahaba, Allah cooled their hearts and said to Prophet,
10:34if you had spent everything on earth to try and do this, you couldn't do it.
10:37But Allah did it.
10:39God did a muqtadir.
10:41He can do everything.
10:42And our job is to do our best to follow Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and ask our
10:48Lord's forgiveness and his holy help to choose well and to act well, to do as you like and
10:58to be as you like, Shaitanya as he used to say.
11:01That's what we're intending.
11:04Although we're like that.
11:07We go more than they're going to say, oh, look who's trying to be humble.
11:16Well, Allah knows who's humble, who's not humble.
11:20We're asking to choose wisely.
11:22It's a difficult time.
11:23And we're asking to move the Tariqah should move smoothly through the seas ahead.
11:32The ships are sailing and the sea of knowledge and wisdom make us to sail on those ships
11:45to happiness here and hereafter.
11:49Well, I'm going to ask you, look who.
11:51I'm going to ask you.
11:54I'm going to ask you.
