00:00Auzubillahi min ash-shaytanir-rajim. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
00:21Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Alameen.
00:51Auzubillahi min ash-shaytanir-rajim. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
00:56Ati Allah wa Ati Ya Rasul wa ulul amri minkum.
01:00And always a reminder for myself, an abdukala ajeezu, ta'eefu, miskinu, zalim, jahal.
01:07And by the grace of Allah that we are still in existence and that alhamdulillah from the
01:17heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Mawlana Shaykh's teaching.
01:22And teaching us the way of the arifin, the way of the heavens.
01:31And that Allah wants us to look at the horizon and then look within ourselves to understand
01:39the reality within ourselves.
01:42That the reality of the Shams and the Qamar.
01:47That to understand guidance and a path of guidance.
01:51This has been the subject that they keep teaching here.
01:55Is that everyone has an understanding of what guidance will be.
02:01Then Allah has the best of teaching for us.
02:06That guidance and the way of ihtibar, the way of following, the way of realities, look
02:13to my heavens.
02:15That you see the sun and the sun and you study then the reality of the sun.
02:21What the sun represents, the light, the reality of eternity and how everything is nourished
02:29and blessed by that sun, then Allah says, that light is supreme.
02:34And I made all of these planets circumbellate that sun and for you your example in life of
02:41guidance is Qamar and the way of the moon which takes a path in which to follow the sun.
02:51Everything else in this life will come as a distraction.
02:55Everything will distract us to go right or to left and the moon has a tremendous teaching.
03:04There are awliya who are in charge of that station.
03:07As soon as we begin to focus on that reality, that Maqam al-Fardani, that Qawth, the Sultans,
03:16they begin to inspire.
03:18So, you're thinking of my Maqam, you're looking at my Maqam, I'm going to begin to teach you.
03:26Anything that you focus on and you read and understand, it focuses on you.
03:33So, the Maqam al-Fardani, the Qawth begins to teach that there are the stars and these
03:42are awliya.
03:45There's the moon which is Maqam al-Fardani, which is the Qawth, which is the Sultan of
03:52the Awliya and that Sultan takes from the Shams.
04:02And that Sultan that takes from the Shams is in charge of the inhabitants of earth.
04:10How the moonlight is coming and blessing everything on earth.
04:13Don't you say, Allah, Allah by cause and effect, Allah say, I know, I own everything.
04:21But that's kindergarten.
04:23Come the way of arifeen, come the way of haqqaiqs, Allah will explain, it's by cause and effect.
04:31Everything nourished by this sunshine, everything nourished by this moonlight and the moonlight
04:37is only capable of nourishing because it took a path in which to reflect the sunlight.
04:43And then Allah describes their relationship.
04:49So for us to understand that if we want to be from the moon which are awliyaullah, our
04:55shaykhs, Maqam al-Shaykh, Sultan al-Awliya, Shaykh Abd al-Faiz al-Daghestani, Sultan al-Shaykh
04:59Muhammad Nazim Haqqani, Sultan al-Awliya, Maqam al-Shaykh Hisham Kabani, these are huge awliya.
05:05We say even Fardani but they are beyond that understanding.
05:10But for us to understand, they say the qawth and the qawth was only one, no you're incorrect,
05:15you don't understand anything.
05:17The qawth is the one who's in charge, awliyaullah and the stations of awliyaullah is not a person.
05:28That you don't say one shaykh is the qawth and that's the only shaykh that was a qawth.
05:32No!
05:33You don't understand.
05:34So when kindergarten people try to explain the haqqaiqs of awliya, doesn't sound right.
05:43Use your aqal.
05:44It's a chair, it's a position, it's a Muhammadan government.
05:49There's a sultanate, there's a house of commons, there's a house of lords, there's a speaker
05:56of the house.
05:57Why every government you have on earth is a reflection of Allah's government.
06:02Why Allah says, in heavens we are not organized but you people on earth why don't you show
06:08us how to organize.
06:12That was joke, right?
06:13Because people on earth are crazy, they don't know how to organize anything.
06:18Even their elections they don't accept, they beat each other up in parliament.
06:22When they vote and they don't let each other vote they start beating each other up in the
06:28parliament.
06:29Allah His government is supreme, the supreme sultan for all of creation, Sayyidina Muhammad
06:38ﷺ.
06:39Mullah Shaykh describes that like a pyramid, that that qawth and that position of qawth is
06:48a chair, is a position of authority.
06:54When one sits upon that authority and they reach to that level of reality, they are taking
07:01from what Allah gave, they take from the surah, they take from the face that never perishes.
07:07And awliya Allah come into our life and describe this is the face and the eternal reality of
07:13Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
07:15What we said in these nasheeds that your surah and your ayah, Qur'an, Prophet ﷺ is walking
07:23Qur'an.
07:24It just so happens that the chapters are called, what, surah.
07:32Every beatific chapter is a face of the reality of Prophet ﷺ.
07:39Every ayah, ayatum min Allah, every sign is the greatest of signs of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
07:46And that's why companions describe Prophet ﷺ as walking Qur'an from its names.
07:52Allah calling a surah, what face?
07:56It's the face of Allah's most beloved, it's a tajalli and a dress.
08:01It's the reality, every ayah, every ayah means signs.
08:05The greatest of Allah's signs is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
08:09Means then that holy face looks to that position of authority and from that light everything
08:17is transmitted down like a waterfall.
08:20To who's the imam of the right and who's the imam of the left?
08:24Those are chairs not people.
08:27Authorities where Allah describes them on the Yawm al-Mashar that they have couches and
08:33thrones.
08:34Who?
08:35These sultans.
08:36Because when the sultan retires means he passed away.
08:40He didn't lose his couch, he didn't lose his arsh, he didn't lose his kursi.
08:45Allah sets it aside for him that now your job on this physical, someone else is coming
08:53because you've been raised now into the heavens.
08:56Then Allah set for them aside a kursi.
09:01Set for them a kursi, set for them an arsh, set for them their chairs and couches reclining.
09:09But as soon as that ghaut passes away from among the living awliyaullah there must be somebody
09:16sitting on the chair.
09:18There's no chair empty in this Muhammadan government.
09:22When the physicality passed immediately the next one in this line who's been trained
09:29all their lives they're moving up.
09:32When they're at this level they're being trained by their soul with responsibilities.
09:36When they move up their soul is being trained by their responsibility.
09:40The imam of the right and the imam of the left they've been given all those responsibilities.
09:45There's no somebody come from the bottom of shirat and there's not somebody who passes
09:50away and the chair is left empty.
09:52And this has nothing to do with tariqah.
09:55This has nothing to do with the names of tariqahs.
09:59There are awliyaullah who you don't know them in any tariqah.
10:02They may be just sitting in the end of the masjid doing what Allah wanted them to do.
10:08The taruqs and the tariqah are finishing schools.
10:12They train these potential candidates whom Allah has destined.
10:17Have good manners, have good character and supreme above all.
10:21Love Allah and love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
10:26They become trained from childhood, from middle age, from adulthood.
10:31Whenever Allah is aspiring this one of my awliya are going to be coming and send them
10:36now into that training school.
10:38And those who achieve what Allah wanted them to achieve, they come from amongst those schools.
10:44But they're not to be confused as the same as the government.
10:48It's a finishing school.
10:49Some come from Shadili, some come from Rifai, some come from Qadri, some come from Naqshbandi.
10:55But the Muhammadan government is the Muhammadan government.
10:58And that chair is never empty and people were asking, when Sayyidina Abdul Qadir Jailani got
11:05from Prophet ﷺ, was describing my foot on the neck of awliyaullah, Mawlana Shaykh described
11:12many times, that's a station.
11:15That's not his position of his only for his personality.
11:19But this station of Qawth and that station of Sultanate, all awliyaullah are under the
11:25authority of that king.
11:29And that king takes his isharat from Prophet ﷺ directly.
11:34And that's why Mawlana Shaykh put the footprint on our turbanes.
11:41And they don't know and they go and spread fitnah, they don't know anything about tariqah.
11:48The Prophet ﷺ warned that, don't take the ignorant as your guides and guidance.
11:56They're like making war against Allah because they come and they say horrible things against
12:00pious people, stay away from those whom Allah going to make war against them.
12:07They talk nonsense and they come against teachings, they come against pious people.
12:13Even those whom love awliyaullah, they are loved by Allah , even they're a donkey.
12:18Because nobody can call themselves a wali, we're donkey of big awliyaullah.
12:25And even Allah has an ihtiram and respect for the donkey of awliya .
12:32Didn't they have a respect for the donkey of Sayyidina Isa ﷺ?
12:36How much they took care of that?
12:38You know Allah , even the donkey of these walis are respected by Allah .
12:45So then they teach, be careful what you say.
12:48You don't even know what the Sultanul Awliyaullah was bringing.
12:51When we're singing and reciting the green dome of Medina, the green dome of Medina, the green
12:57dome that takes an old light vanishes in that light.
13:02Why do you think then Sultanul Awliya made the green dome?
13:07Gumbad.
13:08How do you say the green dome?
13:10Gumbadul Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra, Khadra.
13:13And people are like wondering, when they see us you don't see it?
13:17Are you reciting something that you just don't understand?
13:20When we walk into a room and there's jama'ah when you walk into this room you don't see
13:25all these green domes, you must have missed also the green dome in Medina.
13:31The same thing is the turban of Prophet ﷺ and was the exact style where Prophet ﷺ had
13:38the hat and then the turban cloth that went around and Ursa Mubarak of Sultanul Awliya
13:45at least to know what Sultan left for us, what he gave for us.
13:50He said, My love so much for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that everywhere you go keep this green
13:58dome on your head and every salah you make 72 times blessing.
14:05And the ajar of a martyr, the reward of those whom passed away and became shaheed, you get
14:11the reward of that because the sunnah is so powerful, it's the crown of the believers.
14:17And the funniest is that this is the hadith of Sayyidina Ali ﷺ, is that the turban is
14:24the crown for the believer.
14:26Then they make artificial pictures with no turban on Sayyidina Ali ﷺ, don't they understand
14:31what he brought for hadith?
14:33He's the master of the crowns, so Muhammad Ali Shaykh brought for us what?
14:39This is a taj, this is a Muhammadan taj that Allah gave to Prophet ﷺ and said, If all my
14:46prophets are kings, you are sultan of all of them, you are the sultan of sultans.
14:52And Mawlana Shaykh wanted for us that keep, keep like when you have and you walk with the
14:58holy hair, you keep it upon your head to say what?
15:02Ya Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, keep my head at your feet.
15:10Never in my life, let my head to rise above your feet.
15:15Not to bite your feet, never to come against you and to take away.
15:24In which you are the Sultan, Ya Shams al-A'rifin, Ya Shams al-Iman, Shams al-Islam, you are the
15:32light of all our light, keep me at your feet and Sultanul Awliya wrote this.
15:42See that foot, the nalain, the holy footstep.
15:48As a reminder for us, keep your whole life at the feet of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
15:54And be an inheritor of Qadam al-Haq and his companions Qadam al-Siddiq and make your life
16:01to be Muqaddam.
16:03Those who walk on that path and will walk with us and ourselves everywhere with this dom.
16:11These are awashiqueen, this was the symbol of that love, means they brought everything
16:21for us and these positions and these authorities beyond imagination.
16:27And when one passes, the next will inherit and they come to the turuqs to understand good
16:34character, good manners.
16:37From Surat al-Yaseen, the heart of Holy Qur'an, the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Surah
16:45Yaseen 36 verse 40.
16:48Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem.
16:58Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem.
17:07Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem.
17:11It's not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day.
17:18It means, nor does the moon overtake the sun.
17:24Each of them float in their own orbit.
17:28But the Falaq is a ship and Yasbahun is a orbit like tracks, that they're ships.
17:36The ship is moving on a track and teaching that their whole life is to never overtake.
17:45It means that the moon and those whom training to be a moon, their whole life will be a training
17:52that, don't overtake the sun.
17:56Don't overtake your position, stay at your had.
18:01The moon should never in its thought and the students who are trying to be moons should
18:07never think that they're going to outtake their shaykh.
18:11That they're not going to shine more than their shaykh.
18:15They're not trying to overtake.
18:17The moon is continuously reminding that this light that people see from you, the moon's
18:25teaching us.
18:26The awliya of that moon are teaching, this light that reflecting from you is not yours.
18:30It's not a station that you praise yourself.
18:34This is not the work world.
18:36In the business world and work world you try to get ahead and recognize and show yourself
18:42in everything.
18:43That's dunya.
18:45In akhirah you don't show yourself as anything and you're never to outrank your shaykh.
18:52Or even give the appearance of that.
18:55Or give even the impression of that, that you're something special and the moon comes to remind
19:00us, be nothing, be nothing.
19:05Don't show yourself as anything.
19:08If whatever he bestowed upon you, there's a time and a place for everything.
19:13But don't outshine.
19:16Don't try to make yourself more than what you are, keep yourself at your had.
19:21If people become confused then it's your responsibility to put yourself back in your
19:27place.
19:28It's don't go out and represent yourself as something independent.
19:34Don't represent yourself as a son.
19:36Don't do things that make it to be arrogance.
19:40And then the taruq come and teach everything about character.
19:47Why is this happening?
19:49Why are these things happening in life?
19:54Because everything around us is pushing.
19:57Even your family is a fitna for you because they keep pushing you that it's you, it's
20:02you, it's you.
20:04You apply that into the dunya world, that's one thing.
20:08But you apply it into the spiritual world then you're going to be crushed, you're going
20:12to be crushed.
20:13Where Allah is a warning that stay within your orbit, stay at your hat and understand
20:20your testing.
20:22And that's why the moon has many beatings upon it.
20:28The moon is continuously bombarded, continuously bombarded.
20:32So that at any moment something tries to grow on it.
20:36When the moon tries to inhabit and to make the moon to deviate, Allah sends the pelting and
20:45the pelting and the smashing.
20:48And this way is a school for Qamrun.
20:52This way is a school to be nothing, that continuously to efface ourselves to be nothing.
20:59That to efface ourselves and understand our characteristics.
21:04That the worst and most difficult of characteristics is pride and arrogance.
21:12That the pride and arrogance, if pride and arrogance should enter into the heart it begins
21:18to make the servant to be angry.
21:22And that's why we all reflect that, I don't know what the shaykh is talking about but the
21:28teaching is to reflect upon ourselves.
21:31Why do we become angry?
21:34Why do we become confused on holy nights and that has to do with pride and arrogance?
21:41Why is it that I don't want to listen to anyone?
21:45Pride and arrogance.
21:46Why does the moon is giving us isharat?
21:49Why does the moon think it's something special?
21:52You took a path in which to be bombarded so that you can shine as a reflection of that
21:59reality but not to be the reality, you're nothing.
22:02Then everything in our life come and teach them, why I get upset at the centre?
22:06Why something happens at the centre I become angry?
22:08Why?
22:09Because of pride and arrogance and the moon is reminding.
22:13Don't be anything.
22:16Listen to people and come to serve.
22:17Don't show people you achieved a maqam or a station and you don't want to do anything.
22:24Means then now that arrogance is coming in and the moon is reminding from the highest
22:30level to the lowest level we took a path to be nothing.
22:35If people should begin to feel you're something you're in trouble with the sun.
22:41And then the pelting and the attacks begin onto the moon retreats and stands at its level
22:48and its hat.
22:50That we took a path in our life not to be anything, not to give the appearance of anything,
22:57not to make people think that we are something.
23:00And a reminder on these holy nights, these are the nights in which Allah bestowing immense
23:05lights, immense blessings that we took a path in which to love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
23:13And whatever sourness and testing we go through in our life that those are like rocks of love.
23:22As much as the person becomes bombarded in life as much as they draw closer to Prophet ﷺ.
23:29And all came, Sayyidina Bilal al-Habashi came.
23:33This is why our teaching but I don't know how many people actually listen until something
23:38happens in their life.
23:40The companions were tortured for the love of Prophet ﷺ, meant for Allah .
23:46You can love Allah and nobody knows it, you keep it in your heart and ride on the bus.
23:51As soon as you put that turban and walk with that beard and show yourself as Muhammadiyoon,
23:58everybody going to bother you, everybody going to attack you.
24:02Then if you're within the turuq and everybody become jealous of you and everybody begin to
24:06bombard you and you say, Ya Rabbi what's this?
24:08How come this is not a path of love?
24:10Say, no this is a different type of love.
24:13You come up the thorns until one day you can be dressed by the fragrance of the rose.
24:20But this path of ours is a path of thorns.
24:24And every time we have a mushkilat and difficulty and every time we're becoming angry and every
24:28time we're becoming overwhelmed and every time we say, that's it I'm not doing it
24:33again.
24:34It's very easy, just sit where you are and don't do anything again.
24:37Then they remind you, didn't you want to reach to Prophet ﷺ?
24:41Walk on the thorns, walk on them.
24:45Don't worry about the pain that it's causing.
24:47Don't worry about the difficulty it's causing.
24:49Don't worry about the insult that it's causing.
24:52Don't worry about the shame that it's causing.
24:55Just walk the thorns and keep moving because Prophet ﷺ is happy.
24:59Sayyidina Musa ﷺ, Kalimullah, Prophet Moses was humiliated by Sayyidina Khidr .
25:07He speaks to Allah and the first thing the Muhammadan guide tells Sayyidina Musa ﷺ, we are not
25:15going to make it with each other, you don't know how you can have patience with something
25:20you have little knowledge.
25:21Insult in his knowledge.
25:22He did that, why?
25:24To be with Prophet ﷺ.
25:25I want to reach where these two rivers, Allah , Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ.
25:30Ya Rabbi I want to see you.
25:34What he saw the lights of Prophet ﷺ, he said, that's it I'm willing to be humiliated and
25:40difficulty for your love.
25:44So when people come and say, oh Shaykh let's run away into a place in a different dimension
25:49where there's no difficulty.
25:51How will you achieve any nearness to Prophet ﷺ?
25:54You, oh let's find an island where there's nobody and I'll sit there by myself, you'll
26:00be alone even Prophet ﷺ won't be with you.
26:03It wasn't about finding something easy.
26:05Say, I'll go talk to your parents, I don't want to talk, there's a lot of problems.
26:09Who cares?
26:10Okay, who cares?
26:11What problem you want?
26:12You want our problem?
26:13In our problem you pass out and we'll die the next day.
26:20What you can imagine of problems coming to you, you can't imagine.
26:27You have one problem with your spouse, they have hundreds of problems of people and every
26:33day they said, that's it I'm quitting, I'm firing.
26:36How many times we sat with Mawlani and said, I'm fired, I'm quitting.
26:38I said, I'm quitting.
26:39There's no quitting because next day they tell you where you're going.
26:42Walk the thorns, they say, but these thorns they hurt, my feet are cut up, I'm tired.
26:49And they say, you gotta keep going until you can take your last breath and by the end
26:55they're tired, they're ready to go, they're ready to go.
26:59But if you're looking for ease then you gotta look for something else.
27:03Allah says, with difficulty comes ease, with difficulty comes ease.
27:09Surat Al-InshaAllah is for our heart.
27:11The heart to open, there has to be difficulty and ease, difficulty and ease.
27:16The womb of a woman is in contraction and expansion.
27:20The earth is continuously in earthquakes and expanding, earthquakes and expanding.
27:25Our whole life is about that reality.
27:28Every time a shaykh, a student is somebody bombarded by difficulty, Allah is crushing
27:34them to raise them.
27:36Every difficulty in life from your spouse and from your children.
27:41From everything that you're seeing and witnessing and you're becoming fed up, Allah is crushing
27:47and squeezing to raise that servant.
27:50And at any moment Allah can change the condition, ufawud.
27:54That's why we keep making the same one du'a at the end of the prayers,
27:57ufawudu amru ina Allah ina Allahu basirun bilibad Ya Wahab, Ya Wahab, Ya Wahab, Ya Wahab,
28:03Ya Wahab, Ya Wahab, Ya Musabibal Asbaab, Ya Mufatah Abwaab, Ya Muqalib Al-Qulubihul Hafsah, Ya Daleel Al-Mutahheerim,
28:12Daleel Al-Mutahheerim, Daleel Al-Mutahheerim because I'm quitting, is enough for me.
28:19That du'a is that everything is coming in every direction, I'm tired Ya Rabb.
28:27And that ufawudu amru ina Allah ina Allahu basirun bilibad, that Allah sees your condition,
28:33Allah sees the condition, He'll send a relief that after difficulty will come ease, after
28:38difficulty will come ease, this is the way of Prophet ﷺ.
28:44How much the companions suffered for the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
28:48How much all the Prophets suffered for their love of Prophet ﷺ.
28:53Sayyidina Isa said, I want to be raised to see Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and not die.
28:59And he walks upon this earth till today so that he can give his hand to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ
29:05in the last days.
29:07Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ wanted to be with Prophet ﷺ, Sayyidina Bilal al-Habashi wanted to
29:13be with Prophet ﷺ and suffer for Prophet ﷺ.
29:16Sayyidina Salaman al-Farsi sold himself to be aseeran and a captive and a slave to enter
29:22into Medina, to Munawwara not with assets, not with pride, not with anything other than
29:28I want to enter into your kingdom as a slave and he came as aseeran.
29:34No fighting, no praying, no zakah, no nothing and Prophet ﷺ first word, this is my family,
29:40this is my Ahlul Bayt.
29:42So, how to make Prophet ﷺ happy?
29:44It's to endure through difficulty, through humiliation, through testing with good character,
29:50with love.
29:51And those that harm their prayers, Ya Rabbi forgive them, they don't know what they're
29:56but by means of them Allah raising you, so Allah say pray for them, that Allah forgive
30:02them and raise them too.
