Right now people are so excited to reach the Court of Prophet Muhammad (s).
However, the day it happens, the laws and protocols shall be implemented.
Now, they have said that you must not turn to anyone for help no matter what happens,
but we’ve made it a habit of asking absolutely anyone for help the moment we face hardship, right?
When we commit a sin or do something wrong, we put the blame on others, too.
The one to whom they say, ‘Now, you must not ask anyone but me’, this is the point where tawwakul begins.
Faith in the Spiritual Master is Unshakeable Trust in God
God does not communicate with common human beings,
however, a common momin would reflect that God granted me the wealth of faith,
God bestowed his name to my heart, God made me a Zakir e Qalbi so this is a great blessing of God upon me.
This reflection develops his belief in God.
This only occurs after one becomes a Zakir e Qalbi, not before that. This does not happen before that.
If you take a look at the women in Pakistan, they will pray to God and at the same time go to the pirs and fakirs (holy men).
Isn’t that right?
This is because she does not have trust and faith in God.
If she had faith in God, she would pray to God and nothing else.
She would never have to ask anyone else for help.
This is crucial in spirituality and religion. It is imperative.
And there is no leniency when it comes to this.
I must tell you this. There is no concession.
What is the reason for this?
God sent Zachariah (as) as a prophet.
This was the era when the Nassarah lived.
Muslims today refer to the Christians as Nassarah,
but this is wrong.
There is a place called ‘Nasra (Nazareth)’ in Israel,
and the people who live there are called Nassarah.
The people who lived there bore enmity for the prophets and messengers without reason. This enmity was in their nature.
As is the case with Pakistanis today;
whoever speaks to them about Imam Mehdi is deemed Qadiani.
This example is evident before you.
Whoever speaks about Imam Mehdi to them is called a Qadiani.
This is a result of God’s wrath upon this nation.
Similarly, the Nassarah were also under a curse.
As soon as they would find out someone is a prophet, they would kill him.
The Nassarah killed Messengers of God; murdered them.
So when Zachariah (as) came, they went after him, too.
They wanted to kill him. So he ran.
The Nassarah were behind him and Zachariah (as) was running for his life and he fled into the jungle.
He ran and ran and ran until he reached a tree.
He stopped and asked the tree for refuge.
The tree split open and he stepped inside it.
The Nassarah on his tail stopped short, confused as to where Zachariah could have gone.
They began looking for him.
They didn’t know where Zachariah had gone since he was just ahead a few moments ago.
They couldn’t have known he would hide inside a tree.
They did not possess the ethereal knowledge.
That’s when the Devil made an appearance.
The Devil said to them, ‘Come here. Do you see that piece of cloth coming out from that tree?’
They said, ‘Yes, we can see it’.
‘Well, he’s hiding inside the tree’.
When they found out that he is hiding inside a tree,
they decided to bring a large saw and cut down the tree.
So they brought it and began sawing at the tree.
When they began cutting the tree, that’s when Zachariah (as) began praying to God.
‘O God, save me!’
Do you know what God said to him?
‘Did you forget about me when you asked the tree to help you?’
Zachariah was speechless and God declared his decision.
God said, ‘Alright, I’ll save you but you shall have to renounce your prophethood,
and if you want to keep the prophethood then be slain’.
Therefore, Zachariah had no choice but to be slain.
And so he was slain.
Right now, no one has said such a thing to you.
Prophet Muhammad (s) has not said you must not ask anyone else for help. Right?
So you can continue asking others for help,
you can continue taking bribes, continue unlawful consumption and who cares,
because you are not connected to God.
However, the day you reach the Court of the Prophet (s)...
Right now people are so excited to reach the Court of Prophet Muhammad (s).
However, the day it happens, the laws and protocols shall be implemented.
Now, they have said that you must not turn to anyone for help no matter what happens,
but we’ve made it a habit of asking absolutely anyone for help the moment we face hardship, right?
When we commit a sin or do something wrong,
we put the blame on others, too.
The one to whom they say,
‘Now, you must not ask anyone but me’,
this is the point where tawwakul begins.
For instance, God has declared in the holy Qur’an that God is the curer and God is sufficient.
So people think it means God is enough for them…
but did God say this to you?
Now, this is for all the Muslims, even the Zakireen sitting here today,
that if you believe God is enough for you then go home and do nothing.
Don’t eat, don’t go to work, don’t even go to the hospital when you’re ill.
Then you’ll find out if God is enough for you.
This is only for the one to whom God says, ‘I am enough for you’.
It is not for everyone.
Similarly, God had not said, ‘I am closer to you than your jugular vein’, to you.
Had God been closer to you than your jugular vein then why do you engage in wrongdoings?
Yes, it is written in the Qur’an,
but people think that since it’s written in the Qur’an, it means they do not require the help of any saint.
‘We’ve read it in the Qur’an, God is closer to everyone than their jugular veins!’
If that’s the case then why has God created hell?
God is closer to someone than his jugular vein and then God will send him to hell?
So you’ll end up there too since God’s so close to you, right?
[Qur’an 95:4-5] Here God says, ‘Laqad khalaqnal insaan…’.
Who has God created? Human beings.
Which human beings? Adam Safi Allah.
God has not created you, you were born from the womb of your mother.
And you’re considering yourself ‘insaan’. Subhaan Allah.
You’re delusional.
God is closer to you than your jugular vein?
That’s pretentious of you.
Perhaps that’s why you’re such crooks and thieves.
If you think this is what the Quranic verse means…
Like Imran Khan - he always says ‘La Ilaha Illa Allah, we are afraid of none but God’.
He should read this verse, too.
If the translations provided by Maulana Tariq Jameel are correct,
then in that case ‘God is closer than your jugular vein’ applies to both Nawaz Sharif and you [Imran Khan].
Those thieves who sit in their mansions in London,
Maryam Nawaz, Hamza Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif,
‘God is closer than your jugular vein’ then applies to them just as much as it applies to you.
‘God is closer than your jugular vein’ then applies to Bushra Bibi and Reham Khan, too.
‘God is closer than your jugular vein’ then applies to the MPs in your party as well as those the traitors who fled.
‘God is closer than your jugular vein’ then applies to those who were loyal as well as those who stabbed you in the back.
Come here. If you do not come here, you will not understand the Qur’an.
One day, Shaikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra) made a public statement.
Ghaus Pak (ra) declared,
‘Before you perform Hajj, come and visit me or else your performance of Hajj will not be accepted’.
People objected to this statement.
The reason why it was important to see Ghaus Pak before Hajj,
was that the Kaaba and the divine theophanies that befell Kaaba were under the control of Ghaus Pak.
Since it was under his control, it was not necessary for one to make the pilgrimage of Hajj to become a Haji.
He would bestow the divine theophanies of the Kaaba to people in their homes and it would be counted as Hajj for them.
So I was explaining tawwakul to you.
What is Tawwakul?
Tawwakul is when the Lord says to someone,
‘I am enough for you. You must not spread your hands before anyone’.
This is tawwakul.
Now, there’s a difference between those filled with arrogance which doesn’t allow them to ask for help,
and for what reason?
Just because they do not want to hear people taunting them,
‘Look at him, he thought he was a champion but had to beg me for help’.
They want to avoid this and so do not ask anyone for help.
But they do not call this arrogance. No, they prefer ‘self-pride’.
This is a deception.
One with self-pride is one who has been instructed by his Master not to spread his hands before anyone,
and he does not do it. Such a person has self-pride.
Similarly, if God tells someone,
‘You must not ask anyone for help but me’,
then such a person awaits divine aid upon every hardship and trial.
He does not ask anyone else.
It was this particular thing that Ghaus e Azam (ra) was practising in the jungle.
He was trying to practise perfecting his unshakeable faith in God in the jungle.
Because God had said, ‘O Abdul Qadir, I am enough for you’.
When God had said this, he was already in the jungle.
So, when this happened, he stopped eating for over a week.
He decided he would not eat until God himself fed him.
On the 8th or 9th day, his Spiritual Master appeared,
Abu Said Al-Khudri.
His Spiritual Master came with food in his hand,
and said, ‘Abdul Qadir, my son, eat’.
Abdul Qadir Jilani, with the utmost respect, said,
‘Master, forgive me, but I have vowed not to eat from anyone’s hand but God’s.'
It was at that point that his Spiritual Master said,
‘So whose hand is this?’
He said,
‘Abdul Qadir Jilani, the hand of the Master is the hand of God’.
So we understand that if God says, ‘I am enough for you’,
it includes God and the Spiritual Master both.
If it comes from the Master, it comes from God and obviously what comes from God is from God.
But the trouble is, you shall never receive anything directly from God,
it shall always come to you through the Spiritual Master.
Therefore, having faith in the Spiritual Master is to have unshakeable trust in God.
That is the main point.
Although it is called ‘unshakeable trust in God’, you cannot see God, right?
It is the divine presence within the Spiritual Master that you must have unshakeable faith in. The divine presence within the Spiritual Master.
