00:21grace of Allah that we are still in existence.
00:25Alhamdulillah.
00:26InshaAllah had shahid, we have the fajr awrad at the beginning,
00:35iqamadu salah, itaahu zakat, and then we give the pillars of faith and the testimony,
00:46the pillars of Islam and the testimonies of faith.
00:52Iqamadu Salah all the way down to Arsalanahu ta'ala rahmatan lil'alameen, inshaAllah.
01:02Iqamadu Salah all the way down to Arsalanahu ta'ala rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan wa rahmatan.

01:53Amantubillahi wa malaykatihi wal-kutubihi wal-rusulihi wal-yawmil-akhir.
02:12Wa bil-qadri khayrihi wa shamrihi min Allahi ta'ala.
02:19Awda'na haattainil kalimataini shshotataini indaka ya seyyidi ya.
02:24Allahi ta'ala, awda'na hataynil kalimataynil shahadatayn indaka ya seyyidi ya Rasulullah
02:54wa hiya lana wadi'atun yawm al-qiyamah ya man arsalahu allahu ta'ala rahmatan lil'alameen
03:21Sadaqallahul alayhi rajeem.
03:25InshaAllah, mashaAllah.
03:27Soh Allah, wa'alaikum ya Rasul Al-Qur'ala mashaAllah.
03:29Wa a'uzubillahimmanir shaitanir rajeem.
03:31Bismillahir rahmanir raheem.
03:32That for our fajr, every fajr, the awrad of the fajr, we recite the pillars of Islam and
03:45testify to the principles of faith and this is what brings us towards maqam al-Ihsan
03:52and the maqam of perfection that we testimony of faith and we bear witness and that we perform
04:02the prayers our salah we give our zakah and that we accept to fast the Ramadan and to
04:09make the pilgrimage to the house of Allah and then in our faith and the levels of faith
04:17is that we declare my belief in Allah , belief in His angels this is where the ocean
04:25of iman and faith and malakut and the world of light people are not reaching so we testify
04:32to it but how many people are actually believing in the angels believing in all the holy books
04:40believing in His messengers on the day of judgment and then the most important of this talk tonight
04:48is in destiny both it's good and it's bad everything been written by Allah and may
04:55the truth of what I say be accepted we're repeating all the time to Allah .
05:02These principles of faith and destiny in its good and bad whatever has been written for
05:13us has an immense importance that, «Allas bi rabbikum wa qaaluhu bala» then we would turn
05:21to Suratul Araf 7, 7th Surah verse 172.
05:33So this is about the testimony of faith and Suratul 7, 172, inshaAllah.
05:40A'udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Bismillahir Raheem Bismillahir Raheem Bismillahir Raheem
06:10عناas biādam min zuhoori him zurriyyetahum wa ash'hadahum wa ala anfusihim ala astu bi rabbikum quaalu falasihim alas tu bi rabbikum quaaluhu falasihim un
06:30alastubi rabbikum
06:35qalu bala shahidna
06:44an taqulu yawm alqiyamati
06:53inna kunna an hadha ghafilin
07:06sadaqallahum aliyyul azim
07:13Sadaqallahum alazim wa barakta Rasulul Kareem
07:16Ya Habibul Azim
07:18Ya Rabban li'azati wa azammati wa jabbarut wa tuquwati wa malakut
07:24InshaAllah that Allah inspire within our hearts a deeper understanding in this world of light
07:30alasibari rabbikum wa qalu bala
07:33That in the world of life when Allah created the souls and began to
07:40destine and write their destiny and the immensity wasn't just we said yes I will accept Islam
07:50, the immensity of what was written that you would go to earth we said bala, you would
07:58be created in such and such form we said bala, you would be sick we said yes, you would be
08:04deformed you said yes, you would have money you said yes, you would have no money yes, you would be
08:10orphaned yes, you would be crippled as a child yes, whatever Allah had asked of the servants that
08:20this will be your destiny and we said bala.
08:25The immensity of that and the reality that InshaAllah try to bring out tonight its understanding was
08:36not just a simple one question Allah asked and we said yes and that sounds very easy but
08:42this is for all the people who ask themselves well if there is a god why are so much difficulty
08:48been written for people?
08:50Why are children suffering?
08:51Why is this person ill?
08:52Why is that one been harmed?
08:55What are all these things in Allah's infinite oceans of rahmah and mercy?
09:01The extent of what Allah was going to write and the extent in which we were so eager to
09:09please Allah and our affirmation of saying yes and as soon as we said yes witnessed by the
09:16angels and witnessed by the souls that are familiar with each other and Allah clarifies in Surat
09:24Al-Araf, we told you everything that we were going to write for you, we asked you from your
09:31destiny these are the things that would happen to you, everything, everything.
09:37Don't think anything in this life of ours is random, why is this happening to me?
09:44Why is this?
09:45Why is this?
09:46Allah said, you signed and you said yes to it and Allah said, why I made you to testify
09:55in the world of malakut and in the world of souls and why is there witnesses to the fact
10:01that you did testify?
10:03Why?
10:04So that on the day of promises and the day of resurrection you don't come lying to Allah
10:12.
10:13That you don't come saying, I didn't know, I didn't know I was supposed to give that,
10:20I was supposed to do that, I was supposed to follow them, I was supposed to believe in
10:24this, I was supposed to do this, I was supposed to do that.
10:28Says ignorance in dunya, ignorance is not an excuse from the law, say I went 120 miles
10:36an hour I didn't know 75 here.
10:40You can't claim ignorance in any part of any law on this earth, say I didn't know by means
10:45of that I just went and did it, Allah is then clarifying for His heavens, you're not
10:50going to be able to come up here and claim ignorance.
10:54And you can't come up and tell Allah's presence and say, I didn't know because then the effect
11:00of that is that dunya made you to be heedless, that you're now under a different difficulty
11:06by Allah because you're admitting now that you came to dunya, you became heedless in dunya,
11:12you forgot what you had promised to Allah .
11:16And that's why then the turuqs come to bring the reality of this perfection, the tafsir
11:21of this understanding of ayatul kareem and our testimony of faith and the understanding
11:25of our testimonies and principles of iman.
11:29Said, Ya Rabbi whatever you asked of me I said yes.
11:33And that's why Prophet ﷺ said that, you can do many sins and then he listed, you can
11:38do this and ask for forgiveness, you can do this and ask for forgiveness but you cannot
11:43lie.
11:44A Muslim and a mu'min does not lie, but people are lying every day so it wasn't meant that
11:51you can't lie to dunya because dunya people lying every day.
11:56But the haqqaiq and the reality of what Prophet ﷺ is that you cannot lie to Allah ,
12:05that a Muslim and a mu'min will not be able to be raised in the Divinely Presence and lie
12:10and say that, I did not know, I did not know Ya Rabbi that you wanted all these things.
12:16Ignorance of the fact what you promised is no excuse and will not take you out of the
12:21difficulty of what was promised.
12:24So means now we brought in even the hadith of Prophet ﷺ describing about you cannot
12:28lie because we know many more men that lying all the time.
12:32But this not the lie that is of a concern.
12:36You make your tawbah and istighfar but you cannot lie that you did not promise Allah
12:43what you promised.
12:45So how to reach your ahad?
12:47We call in Suratul Tawbah your ahad, but how they reached their ahad and how they completed
12:54their covenant with Allah means their bayah became real, Allah accepted their bayah, that
13:02they took the hand and they completed their covenant.
13:05And Allah bought from them their dunya and gave to them akhirah in exchange.
13:13That's then the reality of the tariqah is coming to teach that, what was my promise to Allah
13:21and as the shaykh's duty to take the servant towards the reality of their promise then we
13:27begin to understand why the manners.
13:30When people are texting, emailing not texting, emailing I have this problem, this problem,
13:35this problem, this problem.
13:39This talk tonight is to remember whatever problem is coming you accepted it.
13:46You told Allah yes, if you're sick you said yes.
13:53If you're short on something you said yes, if a difficulty is happening in your life you
13:58said yes.
14:00Everything was written whether it's good or it's bad, it's been written.
14:07So then the ocean of taslim and the ocean of submission, the oceans of good characteristic
14:14that, Ya Rabbi whatever you have written for me you have written.
14:18God mercy upon my soul and forgive me Ya Rabbi, give me good character to traverse every type
14:24of testing, give me strength to endure what has been written for me, what I'm not able
14:31to carry, what I'm not understanding on how to carry.
14:34Ya Rabbi grant me faith, grant me himma, grant me a zeel, grant me your energies.
14:41Instead of fighting our faith and fighting our destiny, whatever your faith is Imam Ali
14:47ﷺ described walk into it.
14:50Means we accept whatever Allah has written, we're trying our best to fulfill what Allah
14:56has asked for us on the day of promises.
14:59And whatever we promised must have been heavy.
15:03No promise is a small promise in Allah's presence.
15:08Means that's why the heavens and earth and looked to it and said, we would never carry
15:11that responsibility.
15:14But insan said, I'll do it.
15:18And the extent of it, the weight of it is something that can't be imagined.
15:23And Allah's immense mercy are the turuqs, the turuq.
15:31Because how anyone's going to fulfill the will of Allah because they're heedless.
15:37So then you can see the immensity of the mercy of Allah is that you're heedless, he's
15:43not.
15:44Go follow him.
15:45Go follow them.
15:46The turuqs their hearts are open.
15:50We need someone with an understanding greater than ours, a connection stronger than ours.
15:56An understanding that the heart is open, the coordinates are open and they begin to give
16:03their isharat and their guidance through their whole chain of madad that coming to them and
16:08all the shaykhs that are supporting them.
16:10All the way to the great Sahabi, Khulafai Rashidin and Mahdi'een, wa ba'dahum wuziraya
16:18wa'amileen and then the perfected wazirs all connected to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
16:27Immense chain that coming from the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
16:31Hold tight when Allah hold tight to that chain.
16:35If you ever find that chain from amongst these shaykhs coming down to you, hold tight to it
16:41and don't separate from it because as soon as you hold tight to that, that is the guidance
16:47that coming now, coming down and telling you, no you promised Allah keep good patience.
16:53Why to be angered by Allah, I don't know why He's writing this for me, I'm angry,
16:57I go drink and I leave the path.
16:59Oh that going to make it immensely worse, immensely worse.
17:05That this promise that we made to Allah , we have to fulfill the promise.
17:11There's no running from the promise.
17:13And then what was the ayatul kareem , which Surah we're looking at?
17:33That was for istiqamah fi tariqat .
17:36The immensity of committing and understanding our lives so that every difficulty has an understanding
17:44for us.
17:45To pray for patience, for understanding and for strength, that Allah give us the strength
17:50in which to approach this destiny of what we promised to Allah .
17:55Even as we follow their advice on good character and patience, do our salawat, do all the zikrs,
18:03attend the majlis of zikrs, do all the fard, no doubt that the fard all have to be done.
18:08We don't have to repeat that, that's a given that you have to do what's mandatory from
18:12Islam but to attend the zikr it's not obligatory but this is a sign of someone who loves.
18:19They listen to the zikr, they attend the zikr, they want to be from the people of tafakkur,
18:24so they make zikr often.
18:27They make zikr standing, sitting, lying in all states of their being, they're in continuous
18:32remembrance of Allah .
18:34And that's to reach towards these realities, the tariqah is bringing us towards our ahad
18:41and our covenant with Allah .
18:44That every time something happens and I am getting upset they tell you be patient, do
18:48your meditation.
18:49Why?
18:50Because they want you to understand that you asked, you accepted what this was going
18:55to be.
18:56You accepted a difficulty in life so why are you complaining about it?
19:01Complaining won't change it but to accept it and understand that Ya Rabbi grant me a support,
19:06whatever heaviness I accepted out of my… whatever reason I did and I asked for that Ya Rabbi,
19:15grant me a strength to endure it, grant me an ability to pass it.
19:19It's much better than trying to be rebellious and to run from that reality.
19:25So it means the immensity of the destiny and how to reach to our destiny, how to be patient
19:31with what's been written upon us.
19:33And then we don't need you know hundreds of emails to come in, is this my destiny?
19:37Is this my destiny?
19:38Is this my destiny?
19:39Just think to yourself, could anything come to you that was not your destiny?
19:46If anyone can email me that, that yes then you're going to get a golden prize.
19:53That's when Shaykh Abdul Qadir told his students, go and slaughter this and slaughter it somewhere
19:58where Allah is not seeing you.
20:02So any student that thinks that something can come to them without Allah knowing then
20:08that's very incorrect.
20:10So everything in our life and every incident and every spark and every character, everything
20:18that ignites us, every single action was written.
20:24And Allah said, I'm going to write for this and you're going to not get angry and we said
20:28yes.
20:29And the difficulty came and we got angry and you're lost, you failed it.
20:36That you're going to write when these shaykhs come?
20:39You're going to follow the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
20:44You think that this was our cleverness?
20:47We all decided one day that we're going to grow beards and we're going to do this.
20:51For Allah had written this destiny for us and that Allah's rahmah and mercy presented
20:57a door and Allah's isharat and push into the heart is go through it.
21:04And as a means of that reality that was written we went and stepped through that reality to
21:09be dressed by its reality.
21:11So means then this path that we're moving on the 70… on the 8th month times 9 which
21:17is the reality of 72.
21:20So everything is a mirror.
21:22So all our holy days are 27, thabi wal ishrim – by the secret of the 2 and the 7.
21:29By the reality of this 27 that reflects the heavenly gates of 72 and is the holy month of Shabbat.
21:48And the 72 and the 72nd surah is Surat al-Jinn.
21:55Stressing now the importance of the malakut – the unseen, the reality of the lights and
22:01energies and powers that are not understood by the physicality, they are not understood
22:08by the brain although the alien TV everything is about their brain trying to understand it.
22:15This is the reality of the heart and reality of the heavens.
22:19Now this is the… a loaded night of surahs inshaAllah, Surat al-Jinn.
22:34Let's do 16 and 17 in Hajj al-Shahid.
22:42So Surat al-Jinn now and the istiqamu fi tariqat that in this month of 72 and in the month of
22:54ascending into the heart into the realities of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
23:00The rajab was the Divinely heart that were being dressed by the realities of Allah's
23:06ancient heart and that ancient heart opens the reality of the prophetic heart and this
23:13is the realities and the dresses of the malakut and the lights and the world of lights.
23:19Allah then joins on to us from Surat al-Jinn verse 16 and 17, inshaAllah.
23:26A'udhu billahi minash shaytanirrajim Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
23:33Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Wa ac
23:47وَأَن لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءَ الغَدَقَاتٍ
24:13لِنَّفْسِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَلِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُقُهُ عَذَابًا صَدَابًا
24:38صَدَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيّ الرَّذِيمُ
24:44صَدَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيّ الرَّذِيمِ
24:45صَدَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيمِ وَمَلَقْتِ رَسُولِ الْكَرِيمِ
24:48استقاموا فِي تَرِيكَةِ
24:51And this surah changes it.
25:05So I mean the immensity of the path and then Allah give a guidance in Suratul Jinn that
25:16they hold firm to your path and their tafsirs are very interesting that they want to hide
25:25the word tariqah.
25:27When they say tariqah is not in Qur'an we described last year, no tariqah is in Qur'an and it's
25:35right at the place in which Allah is giving a warning, wallahi.
25:41If they keep their path, if they keep their tariqah, keep their way to the heart of Sayyidina
25:51Muhammad ﷺ certainly Allah will have bestowed upon them rain in abundance.
26:01Remember from Ma'yan Munhamiran because this the same journey is going into that reality
26:07that Allah for us rain is the fountain of life, water – my Allah said my throne is
26:17upon the water.
26:18Any reference to water Allah is giving to us, I will illuminate your heart, rejuvenate
26:25your heart, my throne is upon this reality of my and I'm going to wash you and cleanse
26:32you and bless you from all of that.
26:34Istiqamu fi tariqah , keep firm unto your tariq, keep firm unto your tariq.
26:42Later on you can read what type of crazy tafsirs they give because they don't want this word
26:48of tariq and they want to make it as if it's a reference to something else, no.
26:52Each ayatul Qur'anul Kareem has immense oceans of reality just that ayah, it's not in reference
27:00to any other ayah, it doesn't have to follow a sequence of ayahs, it's not in reference
27:05to anyone other than what Allah used of words.
27:09The rest are people's tafsirs, people make a translation and then they write the translation
27:15that this is in reference to… no, istiqamu fi tariqat it, keep firm on your tariqah and
27:24that Allah will open the fountains of abundance.
27:29The next verse and that we're going to try you and test you by means of it, don't turn
27:36away from the remembrance of Allah , so only the tariqah people would understand.
27:42Don't turn away from dhikrullah .
27:46This is not meaning salah, this not meaning zakah but Allah is giving a warning, stand
27:53firm on your tariqah because it's not something that you enjoy, accept, you reach towards realities
28:00and then you walk away from the reality because Allah said once you start to walk away from
28:06that reality He's giving a warning that you're going to then what?
28:11Walk away from the remembrance of Allah , shaitan will cause this person to undergo
28:16severe penalty.
28:19So, means then the immensity of what Allah has given to us and how that relates to everything
28:29– that we're trying to reach our ahad and our covenant.
28:36Allah gives a mercy and a rahmah to us, let follow these turuqs, they are the guides of
28:43Allah , the guides of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, they guide you to your ahad and your covenant
28:50with Allah .
28:52Then Allah on the 72nd surah the power of the 8th month, the month of Shaban, Allah
29:00is then hones in on the 16th surah to say, «Istakamu fi tariqatir» that they move you,
29:07knock you left, they knock you right, your feet go right back onto the tariqah.
29:12Why?
29:13Because the destiny is going to be good or bad and many difficulties come into your life,
29:24many will be knocked off their path because of the difficulties, many will be increasing
29:29in faith because of them.
29:33Those whom held tight with the rope, those who made their tafakkur that their connection
29:39wasn't a flower on a rock.
29:44You know some people come, oh I love love love you guys and two minutes you know the
29:48bag of rice is two dollars more, oh my god I hate you people, you didn't reply in time.
29:55It can be whatever reason, it can be you didn't start the zikr on time, I'm very upset I was
30:01worried.
30:02Their love they go to hate in a second like a winch is gone and Allah is warning not with
30:12these people but if you're trying to reach your destiny of Allah , that's
30:17why the tariqah is not related to, oh I had to call a naqshbandi, no no, you're fulfilling
30:24your covenant with your ahad with Allah , naqshbandi is a means in which to take you
30:31to your covenant.
30:32So for you to walk away from tariqah, Allah is then warning that if you do that most likely
30:40shaitan is playing with you and you will have walked away from zikrullah, from everything
30:46that was bringing beautiful lights and beautiful realities and beautifying the heart.
30:52So means the tariqah was just a means to take you to your covenant with Allah , it's
30:58not the end, the tariqah is not the destiny.
31:04People want to make a conclusion for people, no tariqah is just a means, it's like a supersonic
31:09shuttle taking you to your destiny for Allah .
31:13And Allah then warns in this surah, you can't walk away from this because it's taking
31:20you towards me and your destiny of what you promised me so that I don't raise you on
31:25the day of judgment and that you want to lie to me and say I didn't know.
31:30No they were guiding you to know, how you can say I didn't know?
31:33They were teaching you how to know, they were teaching you to be patient with all your testing,
31:38they were teaching you not to yell, not to scream, not to open your mouth.
31:41People now even their… if they don't use their bad mouth they're using bad fingers.
31:47Even that they tell you don't, you've got nothing good to say don't say it at all.
31:52And push yourself to say good things and to promote and comment on good things, all of
31:58that was to reach the ahad of Allah , nashbandiya was just a means, nashbandiya's not the end,
32:04nashbandiya's not the goal, nashbandiya, turid, shadiliya, rifa'iyya, all the different
32:12tariqahs, muhammadiya, all of them are to reach Allah ahad and covenant of what we promised
32:21on the day of promises.
32:22And that Allah say, if you stand firm I'm going to shower you with this water, I'm going
32:27to shower you with these blessings.
32:29We pray that Allah give us more and more strength, more and more understanding.
32:34From the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, from the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, all
32:41of these realities and these dresses to hold firm to our tariqah.
32:46And the tariqah is a way of love and muhabbat of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
32:53And that Allah keep us, our families, our children, our community all immensely washed
33:00in Zikrullah ﷺ, and the majlis .
33:01And the majlis of Salli Alayhi ala nabi ﷺ, all the way for the day of the day of the
33:06day of Haast.
33:07And Allah allows us to die in our path.
