00:00Your natural companion, your real identity, is the man within you, he it is who worships Allah or revolts against him, he it is who goes for this world or aspires for the next.
00:15Your inner self is to make you worthy of reward or deserving of punishment, the decision lies with you.
00:23Your hidden self is your best friend as well as your worst enemy, you alone can make your journey full of hazards and you alone can make your destination full of bliss.
00:34If your inner self is safe, you are safe, if not, not.
00:40Faith reforms though and negates doubt and misgiving, it cleanses the heart of evil whispers and keeps us close to Allah in joy as well as in sorrow.
00:50We square up with all trails and understand that he, who gives us joys, can also bless us with the wealth of sorrow.
01:00Allah the Most High does not deprive his bondmen from the firmness of conviction.
01:06Know that he, whom after embracing Islam asserts or claims superiority over other Muslims, is in error.
01:13Even a mention of self superiority is a negation of superiority, for this sense of superiority stems from human smallness and ignorance.
01:24Real superiority consists in sharing superiority with others, as knowledge consists in imparting knowledge to others.
01:33Otherwise, the desire to hold others in awe of our knowledge and to make theme feel inferior is our own ignorance.
01:41It is sufficient proof or the smallness of any man that he should subject himself to self-praise.
01:48To hear praise from others is not commendable, and to indulge in self-praise is condemnable.
01:55Safety lies to in discovering who is making a hole in the boat, but in steering the boat to the shore.
02:01No prophet in now to appear in the world.
02:05So the great responsibility of reaching the faith rests with us all.
02:09The present Muslim Ummah should first set itself right, and then reform the world.
02:16He, who deceives men in the name of religion, jeopardizes his prospects in the hereafter,
02:23for success in the world to come is through religion, and there is not deceit in religion.
02:29If there is deceit, then it is no religion.
02:33He who is trying to reform himself with an eye to public praise and esteem will not be reformed.
02:41He who wants to get his virtues cached in the world cannot be good.
02:46That saint who wants to overaw the world because of his prayers is, in fact, a hypocrite.
02:52Without our belief in the true bearer of tidings, the Holy Prophet, Sa'dallah, we cannot affirm the Tauhid, ones of Allah.
03:04The quintessence of man in truth and truth cannot always compromise.
03:09If you keep silent when you should speak the truth, you will be deprived of truth.
03:14That man can never be truthful who speaks ambiguity when he should have spoken the truth.
03:20The wise man reforms the unwise, the scholar instructs the unlettered, and the physician treats the ailing.
03:28What good can a doctor do if he has no compassion for his patient?
03:33Similarly, what help can a reformer be if he hates sinners?
03:36Every quality tends to influence what goes counter to it, but through love, not through hat.
03:44If the price of saving your life be life itself, accept it.
03:49The unknown is a type of knowledge.
03:52He who is endowed with it, does not call it unknown, but calls it known.
03:57So knowledge keeps emerging from the unknown into the known.
04:01Likewise, the concealed case is to be concealed if it is revealed.
04:06The real concealed comes not within the range of human awareness.
04:11It lies with Allah Himself.
04:13We cannot even talk about that.
04:15So far as Allah is concerned, nothing whatsoever can remain concealed from Him.
04:21A hypocrite is a person whose actions in life are incompatible with his belief.
04:26Such a man gives up neither sin nor prayer.
04:30Allah is his social or political need, not his religious demand.
04:35His lot is the torture of despair and ceaseless agony.
04:44Orators here talk about the insecurity of times, but they themselves are building their houses
04:49with the conviction of security.
04:52We keep saying, Allah, Allah with our tongues.
04:56Allah is not word.
04:58Allah is no sound.
05:00Allah is no invocation either.
05:02Allah is an entity holly and all transcending.
05:06It is to this entity that we are related, but by our heart, not by our tongues.
05:12If our heart gets connected with Allah, our entire being must necessarily be cast T in the mold
05:19of religion.
05:20Man and wife should live as spring and garden.
05:23The garden that is stranger to spring is no garden, and the spring that visits so garden
05:29is no spring.
05:31Each lives through the other.
05:32If Allah, the Most High, in his surging mercy forgives all his creatures, what will happen?
05:40Will the after-death scene be as terrible as certain people believe?
05:44Has not Allah the power and intention to forgive?
