00:00Alhamdulillah that every Muharram and every Ashura has an opening.
00:18And when we have the love of Allah and Allah inspire within our hearts that,
00:25that my… make your heart my home so that my Divinely lights can reside within your heart
00:36that becomes a heart filled with the light of the Prophets, the angels, the saints, the
00:44companions, the Ahlul Bayt and family of the Holy Prophet.
00:49It becomes the house in which all that God Almighty Allah loves is in that house.
00:59So, our life is to study that house in the levels of the heart, the book from levels of
01:09the heart.
01:10Where's that book?
01:11Shekhi, you're giving me one book, inshaAllah, bismillah.
01:17This is the book levels of the heart and it's about the house of Allah because it's
01:25not about your heart, it's not about cardiology.
01:32This is about Allah's house, Qalb al-Mu'min, Baytullah .
01:37This is about the house of Allah and the honour in which He gave our creation.
01:43He didn't say, the monkey's heart is my house, didn't say giraffe's heart is my house.
01:50He said, I have honoured your creation and the immensity of the honour is not something
01:56that we can understand nor will we ever understand what's… what Allah's grace and majesty has
02:03granted for us.
02:05But that our creation can be the house of God and the kingdom of God can enter into the heart.
02:13All that God asks, Allah asks is, get everything else out, vacate them, throw it all out so
02:23that nothing resides within that heart except my Divinely Presence.
02:29And when my Divinely Presence comes, Allah then begins to clarify that,
02:35say, my love, if I'm going to enter into your heart and you're going to make your heart
02:41for me, I'm with Nabi'een, Siddiqeen, Shuhadahi wa Salihin .
02:48And they are the best of those to keep company.
02:51So then Allah will teach us about the Prophet, Siddiqeen – the truthful servants, truthful
02:57with their deeds and their actions.
02:59Shuhadaah – those whom have martyred died in the way of Allah or Mushahada – that
03:07their character died and they witness and they death before their death, Allah as if
03:14they're walking the earth but they died, they are the paradise people on this earth.
03:21And Salihin – righteous servants.
03:25His category is the reality of the Ka'bah and the four corners of the Ka'bah, the four
03:30valves of the heart.
03:32And Allah is then inspiring within our lives that, make your heart my home.
03:39So then our life is about how to clean the heart, purify the heart and take everything
03:44out of the heart other than Allah .
03:53Muharram is the opening of every year's pilgrimage.
03:59That we are in a perpetual path, a circle and every time we step and move and it opens,
04:07it has an ending.
04:08So every beginning because life is a circle, every beginning has an ending.
04:16So we begin in Muharram and we end on Zulhajj but then it doesn't end because it's a continuous
04:23path of growth and spiritual realities.
04:26As soon as one ending the next one is opening, one step is out and you're already into the
04:31next journey and the next reality that Allah want to dress.
04:37So then every ashura for one whom is trying to purify themselves, perfect themselves is
04:46going to be based on these teachings of the lataif of the qalb.
04:51So the qalb is under the authority of Sayyidina Adam and this has to do with the openings of
04:59knowledge.
05:01That when Allah gives for us the example of the greatness of this creation,
05:07عَلَمَ إِسْمَ كُلَّهَ
05:13That we have taught Sayyidina Adam everything, all knowledges, all realities because later
05:22we find out on this journey that soul that Allah gave is from the source of all treasures.
05:31So Allah wanted to be known by this creation and put the holiest of holy realities into
05:40that creation.
05:42And as a result all of creation would begin to understand who they are and where they
05:48come from.
05:49So the lataif of the qalb and the opening means that on the ashura there must be an opening
05:57from the realities of Sayyidina Adam .
06:00What opened for the Prophet of Allah opens for all of creation because each Prophet is a representation
06:10of our eternal journey and that's why Islam is the fulfillment of the covenant of Allah
06:18and that you can't go to Islam and then back into Christianity.
06:24You cannot go from Islam into Judaism as if you cut your finger and you have incompleted
06:32your reality and you've blocked yourself from Allah's Divinely Presence and that's why
06:38it's called Muqtad , they've cut themselves from Allah .
06:43Our life is about expanding our reality.
06:48Seek knowledge even if you have to go to chin, means the expansion of knowledge is the growth
06:55of the heart, is the love of the heart, expanding love and ishq for the heart.
07:01What to take and cut one part of your heart out and say, now I'm this.
07:06So that's why you can never go from the highest down but you can sure go from down up.
07:13So the lataif of the qalb, there has to be an ashura in which Allah grants what he granted
07:20to Sayyidina Adam , that I cast you onto this earth, I granted you forgiveness.
07:30And we were all in that reality, we all came from paradise.
07:36Whatever happened in that first sin throw us all in a destiny to come to earth.
07:41So then Allah for every insan has a moment in which their tawbah must be accepted, they
07:49must be making… not that Allah has to accept it but we have to make a tawbah that Allah
07:55inshaAllah accept it.
07:59So we have to.
08:00When we become in the way of knowing, Allah said, you must like your forefather Sayyidina
08:06Adam , repent to me for the sins of your reality, sins of your being, sins of your father
08:15and your forefathers.
08:17Make a life of istighfar and maghfirah.
08:20That's why we say every opening of Muharram is our time to repent that, Ya Rabbi maybe
08:25this the year that my repentance is sincere and that you accept it from me.
08:31Allah knows shaitan is attacking us, He knows this is not an easy football game where we
08:36just come get the ball and run to the end.
08:39He knows how much he's attacking.
08:42But our job is to ask for forgiveness.
08:45So Sayyidina Adam comes to our life and teaches us, ask and repent, repent for all that we
08:52did wrong so that Allah grant a forgiveness and that your journey begins.
08:59And then awliya come and begin to teach.
09:02That what Sayyidina Adam knew from paradise that opened his ability to ask and make du'as
09:09that would be accepted and said, Ya hamidu ba haqqa Muhammad, oh the most praiseworthy
09:17by the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because you don't know the reality but you're asking
09:24Allah , I'm asking by the sake of that reality which I don't know it but you know
09:30it and by the reality grant it to me Ya Rabbi ba hamidu, ya hamidu ba haqqa Muhammad, ya
09:38aliyyun, oh Allah you are the Most High by the secret that you gave to Imam Ali ﷺ, grant
09:45me my forgiveness.
09:47Ya Allah, ya Rabbi, ya Allahu al-Khaliq, ba haqa Fatimata Zahra, oh Allahu you are the
09:54creator and the secret of creation that you gave to Prophet ﷺ, it's secret and that
10:03Prophet ﷺ gave to Sayyidina Fatimata Zahra, because every womb and everything that brings
10:12a creation has a secret within it, it has no power itself.
10:16Allah gave the secret for a spider, for a caterpillar, for everything in creation all the
10:22way to insan that their womb bring creation and that their womb bring this reality, it's
10:29with a ilm, it's with a knowledge.
10:32And who's the owner of all knowledges is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and gave as an inheritance
10:39to his beloved daughter.
10:41So we say Ya al-batool means the purity of the soul that's not comprehensible, we cannot
10:47comprehend how pure that soul is but that that soul carries the secret of that reality.
10:57So then we say, Ya Rahman ba haqq al-Imam al-Hasan, Ya Rabbi by the power of your Sifat
11:04al-Rahman that governs the whole of the manifest creation grant me your forgiveness.
11:14Then Ya Raheem ba haqq al-Imam al-Husayn , Ya Rabbi grant me your forgiveness.
11:21By those words Allah told Sayyidina Adam , had you asked anything by using those
11:29words I would have forgiven you, then ayatul kareem of what Sayyidina Adam began to recite
11:36and Allah granted forgiveness but it had to be a key.
11:42It was by that key that the ayahs began to open and the du'as were beginning to be accepted.
11:50So mean we have an ashura in which we're continuously that year asking for forgiveness, forgiveness,
11:57forgiveness and that ashura comes and Allah grant maghfirah .
12:03That like your forefather, I will forgive you, I will forgive you and as a result of
12:11my forgiveness I will grant you knowledges.
12:15Allah's forgiveness is two-sided, when Allah forgives you it's just not,
12:19okay I forgive you left you alone.
12:23When Allah if He grant forgiveness means, now you have my attention and I'm going to
12:30grant you everything.
12:31Because Allah's forgiveness is that I'm going to grant you who you really are, who you
12:36should have been, the knowledges that I had bestowed upon your soul and your forefathers
12:42and forefathers before them, all those realities that are yours as an inheritance from the reality
12:49of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Allah's forgiveness is the door of opening.
12:55It's not just you tell a friend, I forgive you, Allah's forgiveness is that I'm going
13:00to now open for you because you've been forgiven and that's why Sayyidina Adam then carries
13:06the maqfira, the forgiveness and the maqam of knowledges.
13:12A'lamu Adam isma kullaha, that I gave all these knowledges that the angels were astonished
13:22by these knowledges and that's why that lataif and that reality of Muharram is knowledge.
13:30Then when we study the lataif, you go from this qalb of knowledge, the next lataif is the
13:39sirr and it's red for struggling.
13:45So means that when Allah forgives us we're on a path of knowledge, so tariqah has to have
13:54the teachings and the knowledge, shaykhs that don't teach they are starving their students
14:04as if a father who doesn't feed his children, there's not allowed, there never been a shaykh
14:11in Naqshbandiya that doesn't teach, it's as if you go to someone's home and the father's
14:16starving his children.
14:18He says, no I want to discipline them and not feed my children, that's abuse Allah doesn't
14:24allow abuse.
14:28So that you have to be fed by Divinely knowledges, that's the only najat, that's the only salvation
14:37that knowledges is a power to the soul that sets us free.
14:44It takes us from the bad character to the Divinely character.
14:50So these are the realities that have to be endowed within the shaykh, that their heart
14:56has to be open and they can't be open and say, we don't talk knowledges or this is bad
15:01for you, it's I'm not feeding you is what I'm saying.
15:04So they have to be fed, a shaykh who doesn't feed his children are going somewhere else to
15:10eat.
15:11And you see now their turbans are in different associations just to get fed something which
15:17is horrible, if you have it you're obliged to give it because this is just the station
15:25of the qalb in which Allah said, I granted you forgiveness and I gained and I gave you
15:32these uloom and these knowledges and they are food for your reality and power for your soul.
15:41And Allah want to grant at the station of this sir their Muharram and the reality of Sayyidina
15:50Nuh .
15:53And Sayyidina Nuh was that he built a ship in the midst of drought and no water and abused
16:06by people and this ship had 124,000 plaques which were ordained and Mawlana Shaykh has
16:17beautiful stories in Tazkiyat in the Luhur of Lights that how even Sayyidina Nuh got these
16:25pieces of wood and how he came across these giants and that they were eating and they couldn't
16:30get full from the food.
16:32And Allah said, go to them and teach them the reality of Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
16:39And then he went to the giants of that region and said that, please I need these trees for
16:43what God has ordered for me, I'm going to teach you something so that when you eat you'll
16:48be full.
16:49Because they were voracious appetite that they couldn't get full, it was like a torture for
16:54them.
16:55And he taught them, they said, teach us and we'll do whatever you want.
16:58He taught them the reality of Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
17:02As a result when they would say, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem and eat, they were full.
17:07They brought the trees, huge trees from the jungles tore them down and brought them down
17:12for him, 124,000 and 124,000 each had to have the names of the Prophets upon them.
17:22And the headquarters of it, the steering council had to have Muhammad, Fatima, Ali, Hassan and
17:28Hussain.
17:30And that was the steering council and the guidance for that ship.
17:36And these are the realities from Sayyidina Nuh and this is the Muharram in which Allah
17:42says, then you have to be under the tajalli of Sayyidina Nuh to understand that, if I've
17:50granted you forgiveness and granted you knowledges, you have to have a soul that's struggling.
17:57You have to now take your tazkiyah and your inner journey to build your soul.
18:03Because Sayyidina Nuh's ship, Noah's ship was the symbolic symbol of our soul.
18:10And the station of faith which is struggling and faith is never easy and never take the
18:18easy door.
18:21Everything in faith is, oh if I say this they're gonna get upset, if I do this they're gonna
18:25not like me, if I keep my sunnah they're all going to run away from me.
18:29Better they all run away from you than you leave your belief.
18:33Because Sayyidina Nuh is inspiring and who's the Sahabi that inherits that reality?
18:40Sayyidina Umar al-Farouq alayhi s-salam, kuj al-haq, stand for truth, what are we not on,
18:48are we not on truth, why are we hiding?
18:51And Prophet ﷺ so much loved the character, said, if there was a Prophet after me it would
18:57have been Hazretu Omar .
19:00Because they're inheriting… the Sahabi are also inheriting from these levels of the
19:03realities of the Muhammadan haqqaiq and the Muhammadan heart.
19:08But Sayyidina Nuh comes to us and says that, that one Muharram has to open for you that
19:14you struggled for your faith and Allah not going to open the lights of your faith.
19:20Was Safinat al-Najjad the ship of safety that it took and departed and said,
19:27«Ya Rabbi I'm about to now take a step into the oceans of tribulation and difficulty
19:35and they step into that difficulty and from every direction waves are coming and smashing
19:40as if to take their ship and smash it onto the shore.
19:45But Allah fear not, I'm with you, we are with you.
19:48Those whom you love we are with you.
19:51No matter how difficult this ocean becomes this ship knows how to get back to Allah .
20:00And then our test is going to be our faith, it's working on the faith and working on the
20:06light and our practices have to be based on the practices of light.
20:12What's building your soul and your faith?
20:15It's your light practices, that which builds the love and the ishq and the good character
20:21within the heart.
20:25It has to traverse through oceans of difficulty onto Allah on Ashura granted your ship to land.
20:35When the ship lands, it went from the mulk of dunya and entered into Allah's Divinely light
20:46kingdom, a malakut, rehus-sibah , the angel that comes and carries
20:57you from your dunya reality and plants your feet onto your akhira reality.
21:05Means the opening of your soul, the opening of the lights of your soul.
21:10That Allah granted your Ashura to be the reality of your soul.
21:16That we accepted your struggle and this is a continuous struggle in life, that we accepted
21:22your struggle.
21:24And as a result Allah is opening the lights of the soul for that Ashura.
21:33Then we go down to the sir and the workings of the world of light that Allah granted you
21:39to be from malakut, now Sayyidina Musa and Sayyidina Ibrahim begin to inspire your next
21:49year's journey.
21:50It could be years in between each if the student is not struggling.
21:55But when they're struggling and they're understanding and Sayyidina Nu is inspiring within their heart
22:02that your life is struggling.
22:04It's not supposed to be easy, somebody you know doesn't like this that's, you're not
22:10supposed to compromise your faith because of that.
22:14You have to make Allah happy and that becomes the difficulty in life is how to make Allah
22:20happy and continue with my path, balance everything, trying to make everybody to be content.
22:28But most content has to be Allah inshaAllah, sir as sir begin to open, alam al-mithal in
22:36the world of light.
22:39And Sayyidina Ibrahim, Sayyidina Musa come and Sayyidina Musa begins to teach that the
22:45ocean of this difficulty parted and Allah granted me to land onto the promised land.
22:54And for us our promised land and the reality of who we are is inspired within our heart
23:01that you promised Allah what you promised.
23:06You promised to be of support to Allah , you promised to keep the Muhammadan way, you promised
23:11that from what Allah gave to you, you would be using in the way of Allah .
23:19And that Allah and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ wouldn't be second and third but they would be first
23:26because these are the oceans of iman and faith where Prophet ﷺ described,
23:30«You have to love me more than you love yourself».
23:36So, then everything about Sayyidina Musa ﷺ begin to inspire that,
23:45you left Faraon , you left this dunya and you're running and struggling towards
23:51Allah and Allah parted everything and the angels came, picked you and took you to the
23:58shore of safety into the heavenly kingdom, now you're a servant who roams the heavenly kingdom.
24:07And as a result what?
24:08You're one whom talks to the Divinely Presence because this sifat of Sayyidina Musa ﷺ
24:17is the realities of hearing.
24:20The one whom Allah talks to but we're not of that level that Allah talk to us but Allah
24:29allow your soul to talk to you and that with your training and your tafakkur the inspirations
24:36of your soul begin to inspire you.
24:41So, it means every ashura has an immense opening and as a result of this maqam because the
24:51testing doesn't mean it got easier, it got easier.
24:56Each of the Prophets are now showing you, no, no, no, no, if you want to enter into this
25:00station of the fire, Divinely fire because Sayyidina Musa ﷺ all of those simple quick analogies
25:08of Sayyidina Musa ﷺ was what, the moving of the river, parting of the sea, means left
25:14all the ignorance, ran from Faraon, entered onto the promised land.
25:19Now you're working from paradise realities.
25:23As a result what Allah bring for you a burning bush, now enter into Divinely Presence.
25:29And all the struggles and the difficulties of that reality of entering into that Divinely
25:34Presence is not easy.
25:36So what Sayyidina Ibrahim ﷺ then comes and inspires the two are at the same maqam,
25:41at the same lataif.
25:44Why the sir-sir in the hands of Sayyidina Ibrahim ﷺ too?
25:49Because he's teaching that if Allah open for you the world of light that know that every
25:55type of fire is coming your direction, every type of fire is coming your direction.
26:07You didn't arrive where everyone says, Ahlan wa sahlan, give you popcorn, give you candy,
26:14mashallah, give you two kisses on the cheek that you came in.
26:18Sayyidina Ibrahim ﷺ be careful because when Allah says,
26:23You're a heavenly soul, you're walking on a satanic kingdom of this dunya.
26:29So as a result Nimrod is chasing you, Nimrod is throwing every fire at you, every difficulty
26:37at you to stop you from walking this earth.
26:43Means you're going to be under intense training, intense difficulty.
26:48Every fire is coming your way, why are you complaining then?
26:52This difficult, that difficult, I feel like I'm on fire, I feel like everyone's attacking
26:56me.
26:57Allah told all his farauns to throw fire at you.
27:05Everything, everything doesn't work your way.
27:09Qulina salati wa anna suqi wa ma'iyahi wa ma'amati lillahi rabbil alameen
27:16You're going to test you with your lives, means you're not going to have everything that makes
27:22everything easy.
27:23We're going to test you with your family and your children but they won't believe
27:28in you, won't listen to you.
27:29We're going to test you with everything around you like a Nimrod throwing fire at you.
27:38And either these fires will hit you and ignite you and you become narani and you leave that
27:45reality.
27:46Because if that it should affect you, it then determines the course of your destiny.
27:53What was it, Darth Vader said or Yoda said in one of them, they were quoting the same
28:01thing.
28:02Means if you take a path of darkness or you look towards the darkness, it then determines
28:08your entire direction.
28:11So when testing comes, this is where then it can make you and break you.
28:16If it breaks you, means the testing came so much you became angered and the fire actually
28:23hit you.
28:25And it wasn't, «Qul ya nahru kuni bardan wa salaaman» it was just, just your naru.
28:30You became narani and fiery as a result of all the difficulties that Allah is sending.
28:36That Allah says, «I'm not testing you more than you can handle, you just don't know
28:51what you can handle because the world make you like fufu, you give a cotton slipper and
28:58they bung bung bung, they look at the people they're dying and being ripped to pieces.
29:03It's not cheap.»
29:06So Sayyidina Ibrahim is warning, «Oh, this maqam, these realities that Allah granted on
29:14this Muharram to open for you, means now every fire is coming in your direction, every test
29:20is coming in your direction.
29:22Allah want to see, are you of a heavenly nature and have good character?
29:27And that these fires don't ignite you but your entire practice, your wudu and everything
29:34about you, «Qul ya nahru kuni bardan wa salaaman»
29:38That whatever flame the throne Allah for that servant in training, they're trained on how
29:44to make it cool and peaceful and they're entertained by these realities because they have the ability
29:53to take that fire and make it cool.
29:59Then Sayyidina Isa come, «My father who is in heaven is the king and sultan of all creation,
30:05that Sayyidina Isa, Ruhullah, Ruhul Qudus, this immense reality is now coming that there
30:11are going to be a Muharram in which Allah with all this fire and all these attacks and
30:18everything that coming to you, Allah said, «Bahs, enough, I'm going to raise you now
30:24to my presence.»
30:27And there's going to be a rising where that testing came so much to their physicality,
30:34everything came so much to their lives and everything around them, Allah granted,
30:40«Qul ya nahru kuni bardan wa salaam, go say to the fire, be cool and peaceful, that
30:46Ruhullah, Sayyidina Isa comes, I'm going to teach you how to rise now.»
30:53That your body and your soul they're not connected and every time difficulty come for you, Allah
31:00will lift your soul into Divinely Presence in which you'll be quenched and drenched from
31:08divine rahmah and mercy.
31:12When they cry, they're crying from Allah's immense rahmah and mercy, the immense light
31:19and blessings that Allah dresses upon the soul, blesses upon the soul as if took their
31:25soul and threw it into His oceans of mercy that can't be understood its immensity.
31:32And all you can do from your physicality is just cry and overwhelmed with crying because
31:38God's infinite rahmah and mercy, that He makes the burning of the testing to be cool and peaceful
31:45with His Divine Grace.
31:48And enough healing that they can set out another day for again more difficulty and more sorrow
31:56and sadness.
32:01Then the highest from Sayyidina Isa is why?
32:05That he wants to teach the servant to rise.
32:10I'm going to take you to my special one, I'm going to take you to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
32:22And there's an Ashura accepted by Prophet ﷺ that, your struggle is accepted, your way of
32:33understanding and annihilation is accepted, join us for we are the Kawthari people.
32:42Our life is, «Fasalli li rabbika wanhar» We pray unto our Lord and we live a life of sacrifice.
32:51As a result their boat is surrounded by the Kawthar, they drink it, bathe in it, wash from
32:58it, everything about their wujud is swimming in the oceans of Kawthar.
33:06And Prophet ﷺ then begins to teach that why that level of the heart is the secret of annihilation
33:17and this is the secret of the black hole.
33:20They still don't know what comes from this black hole.
33:24But this black hole annihilates everything and creates stars because the star has no
33:31more mass, all of it has to be destroyed.
33:36The mass, the ego all has to be destroyed so that it become mahiy, obliterated for Allah's
33:46sake.
33:47And as a result of being obliterated, Allah turned the servant back on in the oceans
33:53of Baqaa and they're lit, they're like suns.
33:58And then each year Allah expands the power of their sun from their sun to the super reds,
34:07to the white dwarves, to the blue pulsar and then till Allah knows best what that reality
34:14and the light of these awliyaullah will become.

34:23rabbil alameen.
