00:00Just a reminder for myself for tonight that this way is based on love and based on the
00:17hadith of you be with whom you love. You be with whom you love and the one that you love
00:35from these servants of Allah , they take you wherever they go,
00:41that they take you within their heart because they move and operate by their heart and their heart
00:51is a Divinely Presence, it's the house of Allah . That our life is to enter into the house of
01:01Allah , not the Ka'bah, you're making tawaf around the Ka'bah.
01:08From, I'udu billahi min shaitanir adzeeem, Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Atiullah, Atiur Rasul,
01:14Ulul Amri Minkum, Wa Naabdakul Ajiz, Da'eef, Miskin, Zalim, Jahlin , but for the grace of Allah
01:21that we are still in existence. That Allah asks us to go for hajj,
01:28Baytullah , it's an imitated hajj . From all the teachings we bring them back into our lives
01:37that when we're going for hajj , awliyaullah teaching is an imitated hajj . You haven't really done
01:44the real hajj . That imitation of labaiq that I heard Ya Rabbi I came is imitated until you
01:53understood and until we understood that that house of Allah is the heart of his believers.
02:04The Ka'bah is what you made with your hands, it didn't just appear somebody put a whole bunch
02:11of bricks together but what Allah made is you and He blew from His Spirit into you.
02:21Your heart is holier than the stones that people put together if it achieves what Allah wanted it
02:29to achieve. So, these awliyaullah , their hearts are like Ka'bahs,
02:36Baytullah , that Allah says within their heart are Nabi'een, Siddiqeen, Shuhadahi
02:44was Salihin and Allah with them, this is the best of company. It's a living Ka'bah and wherever it goes
02:54it's a Qibla in which people find their deen, find their belief, find their love for Allah ,
03:03love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ just by looking at them, accompanying them, being with them.
03:10So, our life was how to enter into the Ka'bah, the living Ka'bah. Not say,
03:17I want to save only $20,000 one time in my life when I'm old and I've done many sins,
03:22at the end I'm going to go fly there and everything will be clean finished and it's over.
03:26This is different level of people but the schools of excellence and moral excellence they're teaching,
03:36no, no this isn't imitated Ka'bah. What Allah want you to understand is go to the real Ka'bahs,
03:44the living Ka'bahs of Allah and make a life in which you want to enter into the Ka'bah.
03:51Not only I want to always be around these Ka'bahs, these holy people but Ya Rabbi make me of something
04:02that I enter into that house. And Prophet ﷺ gave us the easiest way and that's why that hadith was
04:13so powerful that my amal never going to be like Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, Sayyidina Umar,
04:21Sayyidina Uthman, Imam Ali ﷺ. Our amal and actions will never be like them. How can I ever even think
04:29to be with them if I'm coming through actions and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ then gave,
04:37you'll be with whom you love. If you love them you'll be with them. And not by love because we
04:46have people on internet, thousands and tens of thousands around the world watch the broadcast
04:55and rebroadcast and all of the different media. And Allah through this holy hadith of
05:01Prophet ﷺ is giving that, enter into the house, enter into the house of Allah . And all the realities
05:10that contain within that house is that you have to love them. This way is then built on love and
05:20muhabbat. Not built on rules and harshness that if you become hard with people that they'll somehow
05:32listen to you and follow rules. They don't follow Allah's rules, why would they follow your rules?
05:40Allah asked them to pray, they're not praying. Prophet ﷺ asked them to do, they're not doing.
05:47Who are you think that they're going to listen to you? So, it means the guidance and guides,
05:55real guides, there are some other types of guides. But these real awliya and real guidance,
06:05they understood, no, nobody was supposed to listen to us. They were supposed to love us.
06:12Make your way and drop your wing and that's why Prophet ﷺ said, address everyone at their level.
06:22Don't make it hard that you're superior, you're so clean, you're so perfected,
06:27you're so amazing and everybody else is bad. But lower yourself like them, be like them,
06:35be down to earth and open a gate of muhabbat and love. So, that people can feel attracted to you,
06:48they feel familiarity with you, they feel a softness in their heart for you. And with that love and with
06:56that muhabbat like now a magnet that you feel a magnetism towards that person and their juzbah and
07:05their energy will begin to attract you. Attract you in a sense that, I like the way you talk,
07:12I like the way you teach, I like the teachings that you're dispensing and that's all they needed.
07:20All they needed was that muhabbat. That if with a gentle tongue and kind actions and kind character,
07:33giving people appropriate attention, giving them a sense of importance that people will begin to love.
07:44They'll give their heart to that reality and now they have a chance in entering into
07:53the house of Allah . And this is the greatest gift that Allah can give,
08:02that you can enter into the house of Allah .
08:05Qalb al-Mu'min baytullah . If you should for some reason attach your heart to a mu'min
08:11baytullah , who's one of those realities, your soul is now entering into their heart.
08:19Their heart the house of Allah , which in that house the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ,
08:28presence of the holy companions, presence of the Ahlul Bayt, presence of Saliheen because
08:34they love all the awliya from heavens to the earth and those awliyaullah love them.
08:39And Allah with them. So it means that, why don't you enter into their home,
08:47into their heart and into their reality. Then they teach the talk for tonight is they say that,
08:54I love them but they're asking then be of service. It's not love that you just say,
09:00oh I love you guys very much, this is great, I love you. They teach, no, no, make your love to be real.
09:06Real love is a khidmat. Real love is in which you feel, I have to do something for this love and this
09:17love has to manifest and the whole of the real way is based on khidmat. So you'll see the real awliya,
09:26all their people are of service. Whether their parents like it or not, whether people around them like
09:31it or not, they don't care. They only care what Allah wants. Is that when you come,
09:39it's of a khidmat. As soon as you're of service with what? With your ability, with your skills,
09:47with what Allah has given to you, with your rizq, with your sustenance. Whatever Allah has given to
09:55you, you put on the table and said, I want to be of service, I want to show my love for you and this
10:03way, this love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that khidmat opens Allah's rahmat. Why they said khidmat,
10:13service opens rahmat? Because it means it opens the presence of Prophet ﷺ's nazar.
10:20Well, people now transcribing articles in Urdu, they're putting out almost a lecture a day
10:31coming out with thousands of hits. Means this now is propagating all through the Urdu language all
10:40over the world. This Naqshbandi haqqaiq is different than what the ulema there teach and I know because
10:47of the different students we have. They don't have that understanding but because of this khidmat,
10:54these articles are now moving out, moving out. So, the example when somebody says that they love your
11:04way, it's not a personal love. This is a love for the way, love for Prophet ﷺ, I love your school,
11:10I want to be a part of this school. As soon as they're of service, they're putting where their
11:16money where their mouth is, they're putting their service to that love, no doubt it builds a bond
11:24within the heart and the soul of that shaykh. He feels responsible that they're spending their time
11:31writing, teaching, doing whatever the service is, cleaning, taking care of the house of Allah .
11:40We have books, we have articles, we have web, we have internet, we have media divisions, we have a
11:46center, we have all these ways of being of service. As soon as a person is of service that energy
11:56enters into the heart of the shaykh and the shaykh has to present that service to the presence of
12:03Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. And that is the bond and the reality of love. They don't come to take from
12:13shaykhs. The bayah was not, I'm going to come and take bayah from you, give me your money, give me this,
12:20give me that. No, no, they're going to take everything from you. And that's what Allah says
12:27in the Qur'an. Make your bargain now. They're going to take your dunya and they're going to give you
12:34akhirah in exchange. They take your dunya and they make circles of paradise. Everywhere they go
12:44becomes a circle of paradise. They propagate the Muhammadan haqqaiqs which are the highest haqqaiqs
12:52that Allah has upon this earth. So, they take from you your iron and they're the alchemists.
13:03They take your iron and make it into something immensely golden and rewarded by Allah in which
13:10it becomes a sadaqah jariyah eternally for you. The support you gave, the time you gave, the effort
13:18you gave is now propagating and giving for your soul eternally. Anyone who gave for these centers as
13:27soon as somebody's eating here, doing zikr here, praying here is dressing their soul. Anybody who
13:33helped to transcribe any of these books, any of these articles, anybody giving on a monthly basis
13:40and propagating a whole media division and TV show and broadcast going around the world.
13:48Everything that's being supported, everything that's being done is eternally being dressed upon
13:55everyone. So, that's why the khitmat opens rahmat. Is that when we want to say that,
14:02I want to enter into this house of Allah and they said, the easiest formula is to try to be of service.
14:11And you find how difficult it is to be of service. Somebody thinks it's something easy,
14:17it's not easy because as soon as your ego says, I want to serve, the next day your ego will not let
14:22you. So, no I can't do it. And that is the whole key of our way. Whatever Allah gave you of an ability,
14:31a skill, a life understanding, why did he give it to you? Why did he give you your degree? You thought
14:38you're to buy cars and to buy homes? No, that was plundering, that's a thief. When they take what
14:46Allah gave to them and thought it's for them, say, no it's not for you. You were supposed to be of
14:53service to Allah . Take what you want to eat and feed your family, alhamdulillah no problem.
15:00Where's Allah's share? In your time and in your effort and in your skills. Imagine how strong
15:07a community would be if all of its professionals were professionally involved, if all of its people
15:15were financially involved, if everybody was of service. Some people think there's a service class
15:22of people that, me, no I sit and I'm a fancy person and I don't help to clean downstairs,
15:30I don't help to put food out, I don't help to take care of. Who takes care of here? We don't have a
15:35janitorial company that comes. There's nobody on a payroll. These are all sincere servants of Allah .
15:45They serve, they serve the center. The center is like a flag. If nobody's here I make sure that the
15:51center's staying. They come and they serve, they make sure the operations are working,
15:56they make sure the food is flowing and this is the rahmah . This service that we all do
16:04it makes us enter into their hearts. Makes us enter into this house of Allah where wherever we went on
16:14this ziyarat where if the physical world was rude to us the spiritual world was immensely open to us.
16:22Every maqam was… came alive. Every maqam we visited was fully alive in our presence.
16:30Means all in the maqam came out to greet and that's not by bragging. That was the proof of my shaykh's
16:41teaching. If you lived a life of service do you think Allah was not going to take and greet
16:48and give back your service because you're a servant of Allah that you came to see us? Of course
16:55we recognize what you did. Physical world there may be jealous and rude people that you meet but we
17:02don't do what we do for physical people. You ask the gentleman who traveled. Every maqam was
17:09beatific and immense. That from outside the maqams we would stop and recite and the inhabitants of the
17:18maqam were coming out to greet everyone. And everybody was feeling the spiritual experience even
17:24strangers on the outside sitting next to us on the bench were crying and they weren't even with us.
17:31That was the hadith that when the angel said, but they're making zikr Ya Rabbi but there's one who's
17:35not from them was some lady from a shop. She was just there standing she's crying in our circle of
17:44our praisings. This is the hadith that Allah wants to know this is all real.
17:49She in one second sat next to people whom were sincere and they were being greeted by the inhabitants
17:56of the maqams. And anyone who was of service watching present they're all in the heart of the shaykh.
18:07They come like on a… the hearts of the shaykhs are like a ship that all the souls are on their heart
18:15everywhere they go they go on behalf of themselves their family their children and their extended
18:21community because he's not there by himself. They're not happy with the shaykh because he's a shaykh.
18:29They're happy saying that all these people who are doing these acts of love for this reality
18:35we acknowledge your love. And from what Allah gave to us we're now dressing you,
18:41you being the entire you not the you of just you're the popular personality but the you that
18:50encompasses all those who love you and are of service with you, do their dawah with you,
18:56give and contribute with you. We accept and we give you that dressing and that blessing.
19:02The one that represents many. Not everybody can physically always come and attend but it doesn't
19:11make a difference for Allah when you're sitting and sweeping here you don't think Allah is dressing
19:17your soul there? Of course your atoms are all in their heart filled and bonded not by our aqal and our
19:26maghs. I think I like you shaykh, I think I'm trying really hard on my brain to think I like you.
19:33No, but he knows that your love is sincere, your efforts are sincere, your love has bonded into his
19:41heart. A bone that doesn't break it's bonded there and not by his ego and not by his brain but by the
19:49sincerity and the purity of love. That your love attaches to their soul and that sincere being
19:57goes in front of those maqams. I'm here on behalf of many, many who are suffering, many who are in
20:04difficulty, many who are struggling just to find a sense of hope and faith in a faithless and dark
20:13world filled with difficulty. Children's sake, wives sake, husbands sake, whatever the condition was
20:20it's one who represents many and ask, please grant us a shifa, please grant us a hope, please grant us a
20:29difficulty, please grant us an opening. Open your borders, open your difficulties, take away all sorts
20:35of problems and every one of the maqams that we went all of them were greeting. And the only reason to
20:44say this is not for a bragging but to show you their life system works if you work it. Their life system
20:53works in which they lived a life of service. They try every day to be of service, every day to be of
21:01service, every day to have the best of characters and the best of manners. This life of ours is based on
21:09good character, not what you know but how you use what you know. What's the purpose of all that you
21:17think you know so this is a hidden one, this is not a hidden one. If all that you think you know and
21:22you don't have good manners what was the purpose of that knowledge? So the whole reality was that to
21:29have an immense knowledge but you should have used it with good character, humble character,
21:38loving character, inviting character. We pray that Allah inspire us towards goodness and khidmat and
21:47that this khidmat opens up immense, immense blessings. And these blessings are for all our community,
21:56community. Not one person left behind other than one who wanted to be left behind. Everyone who came
22:04with love and sincerity, everyone who serves or tries to serve or put some effort towards it,
22:11they've made a bond. That ship goes fully loaded into that presence continuously praying and asking
22:19for relief, for difficulties to be taken, for lights and blessings to be dressed. And this earth we
22:26can't imagine what type of difficulties are coming upon this earth in which Allah inspires to go to
22:33these maqams to take their dress and their blessings as a protection for what's coming upon the earth.
