00:00Mawlana al-Sharaf ad-Din, Sultan al-Awliya went into that verse of from the pious we
00:04extract the pious, from the good we bring the good, from the bad we bring the bad.
00:09It's the lineage of their light, you're not bad somewhere and you became good here.
00:15It's been eternally written for you of who you are and in every existence when Allah
00:20throws you into a body you are good in that existence because these are now noble souls.
00:26Why he would put noble soul into something bad that would be destined to be bad then
00:32the whole lineage would have changed.
00:34And that's why Mawlana Shaykh would describe, Allah hides treasures in ruins.
00:40Some people say, oh Shaykh but I'm on the path now, before I was kind of wild and did
00:46many different mischievous things and that was for your safety to veil shaitan from seeing
00:54you and who you are and who you would be.
00:57So many have bizarre lives before tariqah because they don't have the ability to protect themselves
01:05nor were the families that were given to them able to protect them.
01:09So what happens when you have a precious treasure?
01:13You're buried in the ruins where nobody would look.
01:16Shaykh look and say, there's nothing here.
01:18This guy, he's already with us.
01:20And Allah has the sir and the sir-sir deep within the heart and shaitan can't penetrate
01:25with firasah to look there.
01:27He just looks at the exterior and says, this is nobody.
