00:00And always a reminder for myself and abdukul ajeezu, tayeefu, miskeenu, zalimu, jahal
00:15but for the grace of Allah's rahmah and mercy that we are still in existence and the
00:21immensity of Allah's gift of guidance in which to bring us to the gates of maghfirah,
00:29the gates of forgiveness and repentance in which is a salvation of the highest realm
00:36and the highest reality.
00:38And to grant the knowledges of these realities and these blessed souls and blessed events
00:45so that to further dress us from the treasures of paradise and beyond the levels of paradise
00:55into the Muhammadan heart and Muhammadan haqqaiqs.
01:01We pray that Allah to dress us and bless us with these infinite realities, infinite blessings
01:07that have no beginning and no end in their understanding and in their comprehension.
01:14As much as Allah take a soul the deeper it can go into these realities and immensity
01:21of that.
01:22That's the gift that Allah grants, ilmul laduni wa hikmati bil saliheen .
01:27Those whom were granted a knowledge and a wisdom they've been truly given the greatest
01:32gift that Allah can give.
01:35We pray that Allah grant us from those realities, dress us from those realities, bless us from
01:40these realities and that by virtue of our struggle in life that we are ambassadors of this reality.
01:49That when they encourage us to struggle not only because of what you want to achieve and
01:56stations that you may want to open and this is where most people want to struggle for themselves.
02:05They want to struggle for their ability to see things, to feel things, to accomplish something
02:12in spirituality and they begin to teach that that is an initial phase that everybody's
02:20natural desire is to want to achieve something.
02:27And the masters of this achievement they teach us by their example, Imam Hussain and all the
02:35Holy Companions and all the Ahlul Bayt they teach us by their example that some things and
02:42sometime in your life your faith will grow in which you begin to struggle no longer only
02:50for yourself but your struggle is for everything that you love.
02:58Everything that is held dear to you, you struggle for that and that the praying for yourself at
03:06some point became not so important as the praying for all those whom you love and have entered into
03:17your heart and that becomes dear to the Divinely Presence, that becomes dear to the reality
03:24of Sayyidina Muhammad ï·º and they begin to inspire, that's why we gave you what we gave you.
03:34Is that when we give you something from the heavens we want you to distribute it by your good deeds
03:42and your good actions care for others care for your family care for your children pray for them sacrifice
03:51and achieve for all the souls that you love for Allah will accept your gift.
04:01Just like in dunya you achieve so that you can make money and as a result of money you spend
04:06it on your home and your children so they won't be hungry.
04:10They're reminding for akhira is more important that anytime we push ourselves that why you
04:16got to do more why got to do a little bit of this a little bit of that and the push is
04:21that it's not for you at some point you may feel full and satisfied and they're reminding
04:29no do for the ones whom Allah going to make weak in your life and you'll see them all around
04:34you so that as a reminder Allah said, do you see why everything around you is like weak
04:41like that?
04:42Because we want you to struggle for them.
04:47So Allah shows the deficiency, shows something's wrong, the sadness that you see that they're
04:53not going to achieve, I'm not going to see them.
05:16If you miss people in this world what about the oceans of eternity?
05:29That if you achieve something of a high status what are you going to do when those whom you
05:36love they love they didn't achieve.
05:42So these masters are teaching, what Allah gave to us by virtue of who we are Allah gave but
05:54they felt a pity for all those who will come after and their souls to be blessed their souls
06:03to be dressed, somebody has to care for those souls.
06:08So then they went more, they went the extra mile, they struggled harder, they gave immensely
06:16from themselves not because they were in need of it.
06:19That's why the stories that personalize it, it discredits everything.
06:27If you tell that story as if it's a personal nature and a personal vengeance and one-on-one,
06:32I'm going to get retribution and curse this one, no.
06:36The immensity of Imam Hussain is I didn't need it, I didn't need any of this difficulty.
06:44My station's set by virtue of whom my grandfather is, it's finished, my bread is in the food.
06:53But I went to impress him, I went to show my love for him because this is what he loved
07:00of his nation.
07:02And he didn't want to be embarrassed on the day of judgment.
07:05He said, what can I do for such a beloved soul that I love so much, I'll go and struggle
07:12more, a struggle which the earth hasn't seen that type of self-sacrifice.
07:19Until the day of judgment that story will be remembered.
07:25But we are the weak ones that love them and they inspire us.
07:30Next time you want to fast, fast an extra day for the people whom you love.
07:35Next time you pray, pray an extra prayer and give it as a gift for the souls of your children
07:41and those whom you love who they won't make where you're making, they won't reach to where
07:46you're reaching because the dunya becomes more and more difficult every day, more and more
07:51darker every day.
07:54And if they did better than you that was a big gift from Allah , but 99% is going
08:03to be the other direction.
08:05So, if you can do a little bit more they inspired, go that extra amount for the sake of those
08:13whom you love, for the sake of their descendants and the children that you have, the children's
08:19children that you haven't met yet.
08:21Means live a life in which you do more and live for others and service of Allah to the
08:29benefit of others.
08:31When the benefit for yourself is enough and you begin to live a life of service for the
08:36benefit of others, that becomes then the example of these great souls, the shaykhs, Ahlul
08:43Bayt, the holy companions.
08:46They try to live in that example of these holy examples.
08:50They live a life of service, live a life in which you can do a little bit more for the
08:55benefit of souls that love you and won't reach and that every time they pray, they
09:01pray Allah to accept their service, to accept their actions, to accept what they're doing
09:10Ya Rabbi and dress them and bless them.
09:14And that what makes the system so blessed because whatever we think we're giving as a gift to
09:21the souls of those whom we love, Allah infinitely multiplies that reality.
09:29That you're not going to outdo my divine generosity because I like your character and the way you
09:37think, the way you're giving of yourself and your amal and your actions, I multiply it beyond
09:42your imagination and that becomes the secret of everyone's struggle.
09:48If you struggle for yourself, you reach a point and you say, I'm okay, I don't need
09:52to do anymore, the beard is the length it's supposed to be, I got the image going, I got
09:58my zikr down.
10:00But then they push within your heart, no those whom you love they're not going to reach
10:03that, you still got to go, you still got to do, you still got to think of more ways
10:10to get the nazar and attention of Sayyidina Muhammad ï·º.
10:15So one reminder for us tonight then is we do more every day, try to push and challenge
10:20ourselves to do more not only for ourselves but for those souls that we love.
10:26And we can't imagine a paradise without all those souls to be present and can't imagine
10:32that people to be in difficulty and we couldn't have done just a little bit more to have helped
10:38them so that they could have come along and they could have joined in that reality.
10:43There could have been another person who was brought to their attention that reality.
10:49So alhamdulillah gives us a reason and an immense push within our soul and our heart to continue
10:56struggling and people to struggle to do and do as much as they can for this love and for
11:02the attention of Allah , the attention of Sayyidina Muhammad ï·º.
