00:00Someone was asking, how can I feel Prophet Muhammad ﷺ's presence when meditating
00:14and contemplating?
00:15How can I feel Prophet ﷺ's presence when meditating, contemplating?
00:22Asked and answered inshaAllah so they got the full 20-minute answer on that one.
00:28Yes Seyyidi forgive me, how can we remove victim consciousness from our life through spirituality?
00:41How can we remove victim consciousness if we've been victimized in life?
00:49Yeah, again that has to do with those talks that we have of the past and the future, that
00:58these two ropes that bind us or grind us and hold us from shaitan has to do what happened
01:05in our past and our fear of what's coming in the future.
01:10And shaitan's all about emphasising the past.
01:15What was done to us, how this happened, why it happened, why my family did this, why my
01:21relative did this, why my spouse did this, why my boss did this.
01:26Everything about the past.
01:28Tariqah comes and teaches Islam to submit and the greatest part of submission is to believe
01:35in destiny.
01:37And that whatever we are Allah has destined that.
01:42Allah wrote whatever He wrote and nothing could have happened to us that Allah has not
01:50written.
01:51Means that nothing happened by accident and Allah didn't know.
01:55So part of our submission because it's a whole package.
01:59The submission is, Ya Rabbi whatever you wrote for me I'm trying my best to submit to it.
02:06Why it happened to me only you know, it's hikmah, it's wisdom, it's cleansing, it's reality.
02:12It's not for me to ask Allah why because I'm not at that level of belief but it's for me
02:18just to tasleem, to submit, Ya Rabbi that Your will is supreme and I try my best in life
02:27to submit, alhamdulillah wa shukran dillah, alhamdulillah wa shukran dillah.
02:32And then we spend a lifetime in practicing how not to think about why it happened.
02:38You think about all the issues of it happening, happening, happening and you wash your heart
02:43from why it happened.
02:44Why it happened is exactly what Allah wanted.
02:48Later in life if we gain through our meditation and our practices a sense of hikmah.
02:55When Allah says, He grants, «Irmal laduni wa hikmati bis saliheen» and whom He granted
03:01wisdoms and knowledges is the greatest gift of all because through that ocean of hikmah
03:07they can reflect and understand a wisdom of why Allah puts us through what He puts us through.
03:16Every difficulty has a wisdom, every experience had a wisdom.
03:20And so that we understood it, many whom faced abuse if they regain themselves, fix themselves,
03:29overcome these difficulties they are a use to people whom have been abused because never
03:37is a warner sent to someone whom has no experience from that reality.
03:42So, Allah put us through many realities in dunya so that we could face the people of dunya.
03:50He doesn't send somebody who has no experience with Eskimos, has no understanding of ice and
03:55then send them, go do dawah to Eskimos.
03:59You have nothing to do with them, you say, how you built this even this house from ice and
04:03I don't like fish.
04:05I mean it's from everyone He brings somebody from them.
04:11So everyone who's been abused one day if you gain yourself and strengthen yourself and
04:17fix yourself out of these difficulties with Allah's guidance then you can be of an immense
04:23benefit to all those who are under continuous abuse, under continuous difficulty, under continuous
04:31different vices that are gripping and holding their lives.
04:35That's why so many of these programs for drug addicts and drinking addicts and alcoholism
04:40are successful from the ones whom fixed themselves from those difficulties.
04:46So when they go to those 12 step meetings they're talking to people whom have fixed themselves
04:51from that difficulty.
04:53As a result they keep a companionship with them and then they're guided through how not to
04:57do those things.
04:59So you keep the fellowship of people who are trying to improve themselves.
05:04Same with abuse groups, they sit with people and they talk that, okay you're not the only
05:08one who was abused, all of them been abused and they talk about how they're coping and
05:13how they came over and got over that difficulty.
05:17So many, many wisdoms and why Allah has whatever written in our lives and why it was written
05:22that way but the most important is how to overcome it, to become strengthened by it and then on
05:29one day to be of service with it.
05:32Then imagine all the hasanat and blessings that come to a servant that can go out now
05:37and reach to people in difficulty and take them out of that difficulty inshaAllah.
05:43And that's the concept of the shaykhs, that they Allah guide them, lifted them, took them
05:48through all their experiences in life and now ask them that, do you want to die?
05:53You know in their khalwah they have an ability to die, that they reach to such a level in
05:59which they can ask, Ya Rabbi I'm ready to go, I think I achieved everything and I'm content
06:05at where I reached.
06:06And Allah offers to them that, go but this isn't really the way.
06:11If you want to go now then you did all of this for what?
06:15But the greatest, the greatest way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is live a life of service.
06:21Why you don't go back and now serve?
06:24With what we've bestowed upon you was not to be wasted and go to the grave, go back now
06:29and serve the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
06:33So alhamdulillah inshaAllah Allah give strength to people to be uplifted from their difficulties,
06:39sadnesses, oppressions and to improve themselves to one day to be of service to the nation of
06:44Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ inshaAllah.
06:47As Salaamu Alaykum Dear Shaykh Walaykum As Salaam wa rehmatullah
06:52Can jinn attach themselves to stones, example rings?
06:58Can jinn attach themselves to stones, example rings?
07:02A jinn can go into anything, they are of a sudden nature.
07:08They can go into stones, that's why a lot of these people who put crystals and hibi-jibi
07:16stuffs, yes they can accompany those items and occupy the space of that item.
07:24They can be in trees, they can be in a sheet, they can be in anything.
07:28You can get a fabric from somebody and the fabric has something on it.
07:33So, yes that's why we don't buy from new age people crystals that have readings on
07:40them or this has a blessing on it.
07:42Everything has to be through our Islamic sources and du'as from those whom we trust in
07:49their actions and in their deeds inshaAllah.
07:52O honourable Shaykh, how can one tell which voices from beyond are beneficial and which are
08:00harmful?
08:01Walaykum As Salaam.
08:03How can we tell which voices from beyond are beneficial or harmful?
08:07I think we talked about that the week before, don't listen to any voices from beyond.
08:13You're not to interact with anything that you cannot see and don't interact with even
08:18the people you see .
08:23Remember going to a mosque, you know think of this world as, you go to a mosque and you
08:27think that like if ten people in the masjid come up to you that because you're in a mosque
08:32everything is going to be good?
08:33Or no, that's the place of immense fitna.
08:36Lot of crazy people enter into the masjid and they come to bother you and they'll bother
08:40and disrupt your whole life.
08:43So doesn't mean any location or anything is of any safety, shaitan entered into paradise
08:49to make Sayyidina Adam fall.
08:52So especially in dealing with unseen, the quality of unseen mu'min being they are forbidden
09:01to interact with any human except the shaykhs.
09:05So for you to understand a mu'min whom is a part of tariqah and has given their allegiance
09:12to Prophet ﷺ and they reach their covenant, they are completely forbidden to interact with
09:20human beings, this is their covenant with Allah .
09:24So any being that somebody is interacting with it's not of that nature so then it's
09:30like a strange person in the mosque if they're Muslim and since you can't see them you won't
09:34even know if they're Muslim.
09:36And it could be a shaitan, it could be a nefarious being so there is no interaction with them.
09:43When we talk about jinn and the du'as and all this is from the level of shaykhs that
09:47this du'a is for this, this interaction is for this, this ta'weez has these blessings
09:52but it's not meant for a common person to try to interact with that world.
09:57There's no permission at all and anything of a higher nature has no permission to interact
10:02with humans at all.
10:04As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam wa rahmatullah
10:15Thank you for all the life-saving guidance, may Allah bless you.
10:21Could you please give us, could you please give us women advice on how to be great spouses?
10:27InshaAllah, it doesn't matter whether it's for women or for men but to live a life of
10:39sacrifice, live a life of compromise and in which it's a give and take.
10:47So that becomes the hardest struggle in life and that the path is of a similar nature at
10:53least makes it easier.
10:56If everyone is trying to reach to Allah's satisfaction and especially if they're in tariqah that
11:02they're trying to also reach the realities of the tariqah makes everything to be easier.
11:09If that's not the situation then it's going to be a life of continuous you know compromising
11:14and trying to make somebody to be satisfied.
11:21So it's like a great struggle on how to struggle against oneself, how to put oneself down and
11:30how to realize who is spiritually more advanced.
11:36Whoever is spiritually more advanced has to take the role of a fireman in which he's trained
11:42or she's trained to continuously try to put out the fire of the nafs, the fire of anger,
11:49the fire of everything that shaitan is trying to do and that requires then a tremendous amount
11:55of training.
11:56That's why then the one who's in tariqah then should be doing their muraqabah, doing
12:01their zikrs, doing their salawat because you know the buttons are going to be pressed and
12:07the buttons through family are the most difficult.
12:10To be tested by somebody at work is okay a little bit hard, tested by the postman absolutely
12:15not hard.
12:17But by tested at home everybody has a launch button, this one talks and then the rockets
12:23are launched, this one talks the rockets are launched, this one… so it's a complete bombardment
12:28in the home and everything is a trigger so it becomes… this is the great struggle.
12:32Prophet ﷺ was describing that the fight outside is one thing but now we're going to the great
12:40jihad and the great jihad was the fight inside.
12:44This is a part of that system that the fight inside is not just me battling whether I'm
12:50going to eat french fries or not tonight but how I'm going to put down fire and anger
12:56and aggression from everything around me.
12:59How I keep my wudu when the other person is yelling and screaming.
13:03When somebody's angry and yelling and you say,
13:05«Ufa wudhu amri inna allahina allahu basheerun bilibad»
13:09Ya Rabbi you severely… you see my condition, look at what I'm going through.
13:13So all of these are the tools in which the believer has to use through that battle.
13:19And how to stay quiet, how to keep wudu, how to make their zikrs, how to make their salawats.
13:26And it becomes more and more difficult in last days because of the immensity of negative energies,
13:32the immensity of shayateen now that are just in the air and not only in the air but because
13:38of these sicknesses now are inside of people.
13:41They've taken and nested inside of people and now these people become more and more walking
13:48shayateen with so much aggression, so much anger, so much rage.
13:54So Allah save us and give us strength inshaAllah.
13:58As Salaamu Alaykum dear Sayyidi, how you keep people out of your heart?
14:06How do you keep people out of your heart?
14:09Means that the building the relationship when they teach like that it's that you should
14:18be building the relationship of love with Allah and love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
14:25But people are too busy trying to build the love with one another that they forgot about
14:31the love of Allah and they forgot the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
14:36So tariqah comes to pull that cord out and reapply it in the right direction.
14:42That your love should be for Allah and that He's your protector, He's the guide, He's
14:49the one that we have to please in life is Allah.
14:52Not the spouse only but we have to please Allah .
14:56Then the love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that, my love and my allegiance is to Sayyidina
15:01Muhammad ﷺ.
15:03At that time then everybody should know their position that you don't come before Allah
15:09and you don't come before Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
15:15That has its own struggle.
15:18When people know who you are and know that your love is for Allah , love for Sayyidina
15:23Muhammad ﷺ then every other relationship has its place and the correct understanding.
15:32But when somebody is not trained and like that they want to find the love of Allah in other
15:38people and then as soon as they meet people they want to change them so that they can mould
15:43them and change them into different… and shaykhs know that you cannot change anyone.
15:49If the shaykhs can't change people you definitely can't.
15:53So people don't change, only thing gonna change is your interacting with them and your understanding
16:01of somebody and you'll modify your approach on how you deal with them.
16:07But people don't change and rarely Allah will make somebody to change.
16:12So it's not that we come across people, make them change and then this is the way I want
16:16to have this love and you're like going to be a god for me, astagfirullah.
16:22So once we have the supreme love with Allah , everybody else then takes their position
16:27and they love to the extent that they can love and you love them to the extent that you
16:32can love them.
16:35But the supreme love is with Allah and Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.
16:40As Salaamu Alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum As Salaam wa rehmatullah.
16:45When doing meditation with the rose quartz which hand do you hold it in, please?
16:52InshaAllah that is on the study of the hands.
17:00You can hold it on either hand right now to spark your light for your energy and when you're
17:08feeling that energy then later on you can read the articles on the hand and the importance
17:13of the hand.
17:15That your left hand shafi is fire, your right hand kafi is a coolness and like a rahmah.
17:24So you have to burn with left and rain with the right like a rahmah.
17:30So you burn away a badness with your left hand and with the coolness you rejuvenate something
17:37with your right hand.
17:39So if you feel there's some sort of a negativity or you want to you know crack through and it's
17:46not cracking through, you can hold with the left hand and bring that energy and like a
17:52fire will begin to come from your left hand, a very heated fire.
17:56And with that hand then you can push away and clean whatever is of a negative nature.
18:04Once the energy starts to come from the right hand it's of a cool light in which it can bring
18:10the rahmah and like a rain.
18:14So you have to burn something away and then you rain upon it from a mercy to bring it back
18:19to its goodness.
18:23So fiery is left and coolness is right, inshaAllah.
18:26Subhana rabbika rabbil izzata amman yasifoon, wassalamu ala al-mursaleen, walhamdulillahi
18:33rabbil alameen.
18:34Ili shayifan Nabi ﷺ, wa'ala mashaykhina fi tariqata nashbandiyyata al-aliyya wa saira wa sadaatina wa
