As salaam o alaykum Seyyidi and SMC staff after experiencing the life of the tariqah
(spiritual path) I feel a separation from the physicality.
Now I get extremely disturbed from the negative actions of others How do I deal with discerning
feeling it causes?
Almost like I get disgusted.
Second my spouse’s a born Muslim but smokes cigarettes marijuana speaks vulgar etc I'm
not trying to expose him or put him down, I only want to ask advice on how to deal with
this in the best way I feel completely out of place in my environment is this also normal?
Yeah, “A’udhu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.”
When Allah (AJ), when He guides His servant and this is a guidance when a falsehood is
lifted and clarity is granted.
When this process is beginning Allah (AJ) is not giving us these abilities this understanding
this clarity to judge His creation So that's why the whole package of tariqah, I just talked
about it, it was to be a qurban (sacrifice).
Means sacrifice yourself to be of service.
So the shaykhs they don't take from the calibre of their understanding and reality they could
not talk to anyone in tolerate anyone because they can smell people they can smell even
comments of people they can smell the bad character of people they can see the lights
off of people, they, if it was about not tolerating they would have all run to like a cave or
ocean, [noise occurs in background] see they can’t tolerate they would not tolerate but
they learn that, Allah (AJ) only opens because He wants them to serve.
So our life is to be of service is to educate to build up to give people hope to tell them
that if you do like this it would be better if you do like that they would be better,
so there's a whole process.
But for one who is starting is not the time to educate but it's a time to elevate so means
first learn your way understand your practises build your energy build your meditation be
patient and loving with God's creation we’re not here to judge them and to, to attack them
but to build ourselves.
Later when you’re built and your energy is developed, relationship, then your training
has been developed at that time you become an ambassador for truth now you may open your
mouth and fight with everyone and that's not the purpose of enlightenment.
Enlightenment was to bring light upon a dark earth not to yell at people and make them
go deeper into the darkness we don't work for devils but we work for the heavens our
job is to take people back into heaven not to fight them so they go back into the hands
of devils.
InshaAllah.
I have a question for you Seyyidi, what's the dangers of confidence?
I hear that I have too much confidence can confidence break my connection and is it okay
to fear your own confidence ?
Yeah confidence, everything is like a fine line.
Confidence and pride are a fine line.
You can be confident in your ability and your love and your practises but you should also
be taking a path of humility.
So somebody their qirat (recitation) is good, there recitation is good they think their
prayers are strong but then tariqah comes and teaches in public hide your salah (prayer).
So many times people come and they complain with Naqshbandi salah that, ‘Why you guys
pray faster than other people?’
Because the wisdom.
The wisdom is what we want to do we do for Allah (AJ) privately.
if you're one who meditates contemplates and prayer, you love to pray long periods of time
don't do that in public because this good action will be stolen by your nafs (ego),
as soon as you do it, ‘Ah I bet everyone is watching me look alhamdulilah, they probably
think I’m so pious.’
The ego now took your action and it's no longer for Allah (AJ).
So then they pray moderate they do their prayers unidentified by anyone and it’s finished
and at home when no one sees that's the time in which they pray they do their zikr (remembrance,
chanting) they cry on their carpet so then in public people think, ‘This one is nothing
I've watched them all the time doesn't even look like he knows how to pray correctly.’
Because they come to here and say, ‘You guys don’t know how to pray,’ as if they
know how to pray.
But at home they do the reverse, they come and they pray infront of everybody so amazing
and at home they probably missed their salah because there's no one to watch them, their
ego’s not excited about doing it and they don't want to do it.
You see those same ones at the wudu (ablution) station.
When it comes time for Jummah wudu Oh my goodness the wudu became ghusl (shower), the water
flowing, ‘Wow,’ every cup is all over dripping all over faces hairs cloths, all
the clothes have to be wet to show you, ‘I know how to use water.’
When in public it should have been like a cup.
Sayyidina Ibn-Arabi (as) said, ‘Pray, make wudu like a crazy man.’
Just, ‘Chew chew chew,’ [shaykh does wudu fast], don’t talk to anyone cover your head
fast, get out and make.
And when you use for istinjay when you have to wash your privates wash with water privately
they do everything so that people don't see them.
Zahiri - they do everything for people to see them.
You want to make a full wash and everything you do that at home go take a shower that’s
why many awliya (saints) their awrads were to shower before each salah.
Be hard upon themselves and there wasn't showers with hot water these were showers in mountainous
regions where the water was iced water.
So they didn’t shower infront of people to give the appearance but at home when no
one was around, Fajr time they’re ordered to make a shower for every Fajr.
Very hard, it’s freezing and when you're nice and warm and want to jump right back
into your bed you're freezing.
So no, they’re who struggle was the opposite and different which now today is ajeeb (strange)
when you look at the Sufi mannerisms people don't understand it, ‘Why are you people
like this?’
Everything was to come against the nafs and not allow the nafs to take a portion of their
good deeds.
And the good deed that is done hidden for Allah (AJ) alone will be rewarded by Allah
(AJ) inshaAllah.
The deed that is seen by people will be rewarded by the people let me give you a better job
as imam (religious leader) or something.
As salaam o alaykum Sayyidi, we have seen pictures of holy maqam (station) of Rauza
Sharif and the holy grill what is the better adab (manners) to visualise ourselves in front
of?
Wherever you can Just visualise the Rauza Sharif the grill just you're holding on to
the grill and asking Sayyidina Muhammad’s ﷺ holy nazar to be upon us, ‘But I'm just
coming here I don't need to see anything I'm just visualising this maqam Sayyidi Ya Rasulul
Karim (The Most Generous Prophet) I'm not worthy of looking at anything I'm just here
that dress me bless me have pity upon me.’
And build that love in that relationship with the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ never
expecting anything don't keep saying, ‘I want to see I want to see I want to see.’
Don't put an expectation and come through the door with humility inshaAllah that, ‘I'm
not anyone worthy of seeing I'm nothing I'm nothing dress me and bless me from your lights.’
They like the approach of humility and Prophet ﷺ is hearing everything.
Assalaam o alaykum Seyyidi I would like to ask our Seyyidi if there is a spiritual wisdom
and remedies for someone who is having difficulties to find a partner for marriage?
Yeah very difficult time there is a difficulty Salawatul fatiha reciting as many times as
you can at least Seven times a day for an opening from the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ, and must take from the ocean that's closest to you if you know the masjid in the area
and they’re good sort of Ahle Sunnah masjid and you think they're pro tariqah people then
ask from the community leaders who know all the different families that they're looking
and interested in a spouse and they have to take from that ocean.
Other ethnic backgrounds they require to go through their families and their families
are very sort of locked on that understanding and you don't want to create any type of conflict,
‘Oh I want to ask somebody else,’ you go through your family.
But now it's even more difficult time because the majority of people are running after dunya
(material world) so there are very few people now interested in getting married because
they just want to have fun and play in dunya and that's the danger and that's the difficulty
of the times we live in.
And that's why many of the hadith of last days described that type of difficulty why
because these people are all just wanting to play if they have a little bit of money
they just want to go out and play and entertain themselves.
So we pray that Allah (AJ) open something and just people who are in need of a spouse
that Allah (AJ) dress them with an ability that, that opening come to them inshaAllah.
Assalaam o alaykum eid Mubarak, Seyyidi I missed my daily awrad (daily practices) a
couple of times and feel bad what should I do Seyyidi.
I even miss doing the basic parts of it and I am so backwards help me Ya Seyyidi, madad,
support Ya Seyyidi.
Forgive me for being ignorant and please pray for me to be steadfast and have good character
please.
Ameen ameen, Allah (AJ) bless you and all those who are watching and all those who are
present with us and forgive me.
It’s not problem, you forgot it you forgot it.
The past is the past, is only the future that is important but we said before that the awrad
and our practises are time management.
So, just like work and you don't miss work you don't miss showing up on time you don't
miss projects you don't miss homework all of our life we were trained in time discipline.
So, this is the most important time discipline you can even get an app for time disciplining
so then I'm going to do this part of my awrad at my Fajr or right when I'm about to go for
my work I pray my Fajr and do my awrad.
I’ll do the zikrs (remembrance, chanting) the ‘Allah,’ ‘the salawats (praisings)’.
I’ll do salawats going on the way to work, I’ll do the zikr of Allah coming on the
way back.’
So you can break the awrad up into different sections.
The zikr of the awrad can be broken up, the beginning part of the awrad the recitations
all the way up to the ihda (dedication) takes nothing more than ten, twenty, fifteen minutes
depending upon if you’ve memorized the Qur’an or not.
Suratul Nas, Suratul Falak, Suratul Ikhlas, that doesn’t take time.
But the zikr of Allah (AJ), ‘Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah,’ fifteen-hundred times you
say, ‘Okay I’ll do going on the way to work.’
The salawat minimum three-hundred to five-hundred ‘I’m going to do coming on the way back
from work.’
You make a discipline there's apps even now and you stick to it but if you don't have
that discipline and all of a sudden every night at 11:00 o'clock is when you're going
to do your awrad then no, you probably fall asleep miss it miss it and then that's all
that shaitan (satan) wants so it's a matter of time management inshaAllah.
And there's apps that can help you now they set up a reminder even your iPhone can do
it with a reminder that it says that ‘Makes salawats,’ and then put reminder when - three
in the afternoon daily and your phone pops up ‘Make salawats,’ and that you know
you remember okay now I have to do my thousand or five-hundred salawats at that time.
Do the minimum of the awrad so that you’re minimum connected to these shaykhs all the
time then you have extra time go up you know 10,000 Allah, 10,000 salawats when you're
sitting with your family that's okay but do the minimum awrad so that it's completed everyday
inshAllah.
Assalaam o alaykum Seyyidi , What is Mount Kahf and why is so significant with Imam Mahdi
(as)?
Hamdulillah, no permission to talk on that.
We gave you a clue already Jabl Kahf and the haq (truth) and that reality of where their
souls are located and from that ocean their souls are being dressed and blessed and moving
towards this dunya they are not sustained from dunya that their soul is in a area being
dressed and blessed by the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ these are the people of haq,
these are the imams of haq they're coming and dressed and blessed from that reality
and moving towards this earth for their zuhur and their appearance to appear but has a tremendous
reality with the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ inshaAllah.
Seyyidi this is from a brother who hasn't taken a shahada yet he's asking, Hi staff
my salah is incomplete most English three quarters.
Should I wait to take my shahada on account of this?
May Allah (AJ) protect and bless us in this life and the next.
Yeah Alhamdulilah, you just say right now with me ,” Ashhadu an la ilaha illAllah,
Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluh.
Ashhadu an la ilaha illAllah, Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluh.
Ashhadu an la ilaha illAllah, Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluh.”

Al Fatiha.
Alhamdulillah everything Mawlana Shaykh (Q) describes is go at a slow pace.
You can print out the salah in Romanised Arabic and you take that in your hand stand up and
you say, ‘Alhamdulilah hi rabbal alameen, Ar Rahmanir Raheem,” and then ruku, then
you go ruku come back up.
So you can read along with your salah.
If that's too much for you then at least make u sujood (prostration) Once a day twice a
day three times a day then build it up to four times a day five times a day just going
into prostration and saying, “Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem,” whatever you think you
can do and progress at a speed that is moderate and easy for you there's no rush.
Allah (AJ) is not going anywhere.
You've given your shahada (testimony of faith) so alhamdulilah you are Muslim and you are
Naqshbandi.
Allah (AJ) bless you and dress you and forgive me.
Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.
welcome to all these realities and see everybody inshaAllah
