00:00
InshaAllah always a reminder for myself that we always talk to ourselves and address ourselves
00:19
and never address people as if better than people and that we have a solution for them.
00:30
The solution always for ourselves and this was the tarbiyah and the way that Mawlana Shaykh
00:36
raised us, that address yourself, address your bad character, address issues that are related
00:44
to yourself and if anybody takes benefit alhamdulillah if not at least you should be benefiting
00:51
from addressing yourself.
00:53
Alhamdulillah they remind us after this holy day that our journey to Allah is da'een,
01:01
is an eternal journey.
01:03
The importance of the circle signifies that every beginning you go all the way around
01:09
the circle has an ending but that ending is a new beginning because of the eternity of
01:17
the journey that keep going around and around and around until we can reach these realities
01:27
in which Allah wants to dress us, which Prophet ﷺ wants to dress us and what Ulul Amr want
01:34
to dress us.
01:35
That alhamdulillah when we come in to Islam we give a shahadah and we say,
01:49
La lillallah, Muhammadur Rasulullah, shahadu wa lillahi lillallah, wa shahadu and Muhammadur
01:54
Rasulullah ﷺ, it's an imitated and fake shahadah because we're not shuhud, we're not witnessing
02:02
anything.
02:03
We come to our salah and we begin to pray and all sorts of gossips entering into the heart,
02:15
entering into the mind, distracting us from everything that is not a real salah and doesn't
02:22
count in Allah's Divine Presence.
02:25
It means with that level they want us to analyze ourselves that how can something count when
02:34
whispering and gossips and all sorts of distractions.
02:38
It's a meeting with the Lord Almighty.
02:41
With Allah's might and majesty your soul is asking to come into that Divine Presence and
02:47
make its prayers and we are distracted by all sorts of thoughts and all sorts of gossips
02:53
that come into the heart.
02:55
And then they take us through this journey and they take us to zakah and we begin to learn
03:02
how to give and the way of realities is to give from what Allah has given to us.
03:09
It becomes a life of service and we struggle with our zakah and our hands begin to tremble,
03:19
the heart begins to tremble and we begin to feel that if we give we won't ever get anything
03:26
back and Allah multiplies.
03:32
And we see all of that reality and nature that if you plant one seed, a tree may grow with
03:41
hundreds of fruits and each fruit hundred more seeds within them.
03:47
Allah is saying, because we have weak iman, do you see the nature all around you?
03:54
That if that seed is planted, how many fruits come?
03:57
And in that fruit, how many seeds exist within that means then they take us into the station
04:05
of zakah and begin to open our hands, open our hearts, open our minds and then they begin
04:12
to teach us the fasting and Allah brings us to the station of fasting and we begin to
04:19
learn how to abstain, that when we abstain and the first phases of abstinence is the concept
04:28
of not eating for 30 days, not drinking for 30 days.
04:33
That to submit the self to a higher authority, that why I have to do it is not important, that
04:39
Allah ordered it and we are from the people of Samina wa Atana.
04:45
You know we try our best excluding people who are sick and we pray that Allah make them
04:51
to be healthier and Allah make them to be in better conditions.
04:57
And the importance of praying always for good health.
05:01
Without good health every worshipness becomes a difficulty.
05:05
Every worshipness becomes such a weight that very difficult.
05:10
But they teach us that you give that zakah then come to Ramadan and begin to understand
05:17
the concept of fasting, understand to be compassionate for creation.
05:23
There are creations that are not eating, there are people who are not eating, there are people
05:27
in difficulty.
05:28
So first level becomes a sense of compassion.
05:32
With all of that, then Allah begins to open for us that make your hajj.
05:38
It means that every moment we should be making a hijrah, a movement towards Allah .
05:46
And if Allah opens for us the ability to have excess money and we go for the holy hajj
05:53
in Mecca and to visit Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in Medina.
05:58
That is the pillars in which we built our life.
06:03
And only Allah come into our lives and teach us that it's not one shot.
06:09
You didn't just do this once and you have now conquered something.
06:15
Because they want to constantly negate every amal and show that there is a higher reality.
06:23
If we don't understand the higher reality, we'll be locked at the lower levels of our activities.
06:30
It means that we came and we thought, oh with our shahadah we're so great and we're self-righteous
06:36
and we are Muslims.
06:37
And many people call themselves mu'min, even they call themselves mukhlis.
06:41
They give their own titles for them.
06:44
If you talk to them, why?
06:45
Because they gave shahadah.
06:46
It means they teach us that what we're doing of salah is not counting.
06:52
What we're giving of zakah, we are shaking and frightened.
06:57
When we're coming to our fast, all we feel is hunger and thirst.
07:03
And the hijrah is a constant move two steps forward and go five steps back.
07:10
And awliyaullah come into our lives and said, this circle and this journey that we are on
07:16
is a da'eem, is an eternal journey.
07:20
They take us all the way to the reality of that hajj and they say, now make every salah
07:27
your hajj.
07:29
Because within it, every salah has all of the pillars within that salah.
07:34
You have to make shahadah, you are praying.
07:38
Your zakah is the time that you have taken off from Mawlana Shaykh's teaching.
07:42
You stop, you can't earn any money.
07:44
You're giving now zakah as soon as you make your salah.
07:48
You're fasting, you can't be eating a sandwich in the middle of the salah.
07:53
And you're making a hijrah because you are asking to move into Allah's Divine Presence.
07:58
And they begin to remind us that every journey has a new journey that once you're moving
08:04
on that hijrah, make it to be real.
08:09
Every year is 12 months of journeying, it starts in Muharram and ends on Zul Hajj.
08:18
That when you are moving into that hajj and making a hijrah to Allah's Divine Presence,
08:24
make it to be real and say, Ya Rabbi raise the darajat and raise me into the oceans of
08:31
iman.
08:32
And they begin to teach that from that hajj it begins real and begins to move the other
08:39
way around.
08:40
That from that hijrah into Allah's Divine Presence, they take us to the siyam from the
08:48
hajj.
08:49
We were going from the shahadah all the way to the hajj.
08:52
They teach us, no at that hajj it begins again that now make your siyam and the reality of
08:59
your siyam all your five senses.
09:04
And struggle and strive in which to make all five senses enter the state of fasting.
09:11
But to fast with your ears and what they hear, fast with your eyes and what they see, fast
09:19
with your hands and what they sense and touch.
09:23
Fast with your tongue, fast with your feet means every sense should be in a state of fasting.
09:31
If we can enter into the reality of the siyam where all the senses are abstaining for the
09:38
Divinely Kingdom, then Allah takes us into the ocean of zakah and say that zakah, make
09:48
the zakah of Sayyidina Ismail, that it's not about your money.
09:53
The money was at the first phase.
09:55
That which you worship has to be brought before Allah , has to be given to Allah .
10:02
Now the zakah of a mu'min and a mukhlas is they put themselves on the table.
10:10
They put themselves to be crushed by Allah , to be crushed by Prophet ﷺ, to be crushed
10:16
by awliya Allah .
10:18
We say crushed but they are merciful .
10:21
Means we enter into the oceans of testing.
10:23
But Ya Rabbi I want to sacrifice myself, not to harm people.
10:31
But I want what's evil within me, what's bad within me, Ya Rabbi bring it out.
10:37
And they begin to teach, then you put your head on there so we make a zabiya for you.
10:43
That you begin to sacrifice yourself and then the schools of adab begin to open for us.
10:51
At that time we know Allah accepting that dua, they sit in the schools of tarbiyah and they
10:58
teach you how you're so unimportant.
11:01
It sounds mean but it's not mean . But Ya Rabbi what I have to give to you, why I'm thinking
11:11
myself to be something so great.
11:13
I'm nothing Ya Rabbi, I'm nothing.
11:16
And all their training is to see ourselves and efface ourselves to be nothing.
11:22
And many spend their nights crying.
11:24
Ya Rabbi I didn't achieve what I thought I was going to achieve, I wasn't able to do
11:30
what I thought I was going to do.
11:32
Ya Rabbi when is your opening going to come?
11:36
When is Nasrullah going to come and support going to come?
11:40
Means to see ourselves as completely nothing and that Allah to make us to be halal.
11:47
That great personalities are coming into this dunya.
11:51
We want to be with Sayyidina Mahdi , but it's not going to happen with bad manners.
11:57
It's not going to happen with bad characteristics.
12:01
It's not going to come with anything from shaitan within us and we begin to make the process
12:07
of the zabiya.
12:08
Ya Rabbi let my bad character to flow from me and to put my head onto the table.
12:15
What I want is not important.
12:18
What Allah wants is important.
12:20
What Prophet ﷺ wants is important.
12:23
What awliyaullah want is important and that becomes the big struggle in our life.
12:29
To surrender ourselves to Allah is very difficult because you use all your agal thinking, you
12:37
know best how it's going to be done.
12:40
And Allah said, you don't even know your name and my Divinely Presence.
12:45
You don't know anything about yourself and you claim to know me and you speak on my behalf
12:53
and you speak on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ's behalf.
12:57
Speak on your own behalf.
12:59
Take a path of trying to know yourself and they begin to teach the reality of that zakah.
13:05
Let all the badness to go.
13:08
If that zakah and that tarbiyah is real, the next station of salah begins to open the prayer
13:17
of a mukhlis.
13:19
The prayer of the mukhlis is sincere.
13:25
They surrendered and gave themselves, they did everything that Allah wants from them and
13:32
their salah becomes real and maqam al-ihsan.
13:35
The Prophet ﷺ described, pray as if you see Allah for if you don't see Allah, Allah
13:41
sees you.
13:42
It means the oceans of taqwa and consciousness begin to open.
13:47
That when we're praying real and we gave everything of ourselves and we began to pray at night
13:53
to sacrifice ourselves.
13:54
This is not harm, this is not harming anyone, this is not being a suicide bomber.
14:00
This is only coming against myself.
14:04
At night crying, crying, I'm not happy with myself, I'm not reaching your ridha, I'm
14:09
not reaching the ridha of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in all of its realities.
14:14
And we begin to take a path of sacrifice.
14:17
That salah becomes more and more real.
14:20
This is a lifelong journey.
14:23
As much as we reach the reality of zakah, the secret of the salah opens.
14:30
If you can't sacrifice yourself, the salah never becomes real and it's through a veil
14:37
like an iron door.
14:40
You don't see anything, you don't feel anything, nothing there.
14:45
But when only Allah are taking us, that you make yourself to be halal.
14:52
And as the process of being halal, the process of dying before you die, where what you wanted
15:00
didn't open, what Allah wanted is the way it's going to be.
15:04
And that happens continuously in our lives and you begin to forget about it.
15:11
Whatever Allah wants, let it happen that way.
15:15
You give up your struggling and constant battling with Divine will and you begin the process
15:22
of real tasleem and submission and whatever Allah wants is the way it's going to happen.
15:32
And that becomes the boat with the sail.
15:35
Our lives are a boat with the sail.
15:38
We merely put up the sail and where Allah going to blow that boat, it's going.
15:46
And you stop struggling and trying to battle with what Allah wants for us, then the shahada
15:53
because the salah became real, the shahada is activated.
15:57
Means that at that time the servant when they pray, they witness what Allah wants them to
16:04
witness.
16:05
As-salamu alayka ayyuh al-Nabi means giving salaams directly to the presence of Prophet ﷺ
16:13
is what every servant should be struggling for.
16:17
We should be asking, Ya Rabbi that I don't want the imitated salah where I'm praying like
16:23
I'm in a closet, I don't see anything, I don't feel anything but I want to reach towards
16:29
the reality of that salah that I surrender myself, surrender my will.
16:36
My will only makes problems.
16:40
Anybody who imposes the will over the will of Prophet ﷺ over the will of Ulul Amr will
16:46
always fail, especially in the tariqah because this is a school of training.
16:54
That when we take that path, Allah is activating these realities.
16:59
But you want your realities, I'm supposing you're sitting with these people because you
17:04
want your realities, so it means that will can never manifest itself.
17:10
And as soon as that will begins to manifest, all sorts of difficulties begin to come towards
17:15
the servant.
17:16
That stop wanting and submitting, submit to what Allah wants.
17:23
That is the reality of tawheed, that there's only Allah in Allah and who's teaching us is
17:30
Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ means now the salah becomes real.
17:35
And these are darajats like veils that begin to be lifted.
17:40
That when the salah is coming to be real, the shahadah is now starting to open.
17:47
You begin to sense, you begin to feel, you begin to taste.
17:54
You feel them all around, you feel that energy around.
17:59
And as the darajat opens, the way Allah wants it to be opened, they begin to see with their
18:06
heart.
18:07
We pray that always our journey is a continuous journey and that never to be happy with any
18:14
station, any maqam, anything that we think has opened to negate it as is still much more
18:22
that Allah can open.
18:24
As long as we keep our cup empty and keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, that reality
18:31
is infinite.
18:32
The Allah's oceans of lights and realities are infinite.
18:37
The love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ infinite in its capacity.
18:42
We thought we loved Prophet ﷺ five years ago.
18:44
It's not a drop compared to what we love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ now.
18:49
It won't be a drop compared to five years from now.
18:53
Moving deep within the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
18:56
That's what we're all struggling for, for that light and for that love.
19:01
We pray that Allah bless us from the lights of Holy Qur'an, that is the barakah of Ramadan.
19:07
That in that one month Allah whips that ego into shape, fills the soul with lights and says,
19:13
now go back and reach towards your marifa, reach towards your reality.
19:18
SubhanAllah be ris influential.
19:48
