“Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.”
And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal 'ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl,
and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we’re still in existence.
Alhamdulillah that Allah (AJ) granted us this life to enter into the holy month – Jumadal
Awwal and the blessed birth of Sitna Zainab (as) in this weekend.
We pray that Allah (AJ) dress us from this immense ni’mat (blessing) and alhamdulillah
we talked last night that Allah (AJ) gave two organs – the mind and the heart and
each has its purpose but to reach towards the Divine then guidance and understanding
and realities is going to come from the heart.
And the mind can be hijacked by shaitan (satan) and the mind doesn't have a way of understanding
Divine realities.
Means then the secret of spiritual guidance is in the reality of “La [to the head],
ilaha [right chest], illAllah [into the heart].”
That the light of ‘La’ enters into the head, the forehead is written la, to the right
- ilaha and then into the left - into the heart – illAllah, and has a deep reality.
That this spiritual path and spiritual realities that Allah (AJ) gave to us these two organs
that this head of yours is meant for dunya (material world) and if you try to use it
for akhirah (hereafter), it will make no sense.
And the nafs (ego) and shaitan have a strong hold on the brain and the people whom try
to use their brain and head for everything.
And spiritual guidance and realities come and teach us that the way to Allah (AJ) and
the way towards the heavens is in the heart.
And we described many examples last night that “Qalb al mu’min baytullah” and
that Allah (AJ) gives an immense reference that the heart of the believer can become
a vessel for the house of Allah (AJ), can become a container for the house of Allah
(AJ)…

As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh. and the true replica of the Ka'bah.
The Ka'bah that we have and we go and make tawaf (circumambulation) in Hijaz is something
that we made.
That Allah (AJ) made it to be blessed, sent a stone from paradise and mankind put those
stones together and made its shape and its form according to Allah's (AJ) guidance.
But what Allah (AJ) made was the heart of insan (mankind) and blew into it of His Divinely
Spirit and the immensity of that reality that Allah (AJ) made the heart, put the Divinely
Spirit within that heart and through that heart has a door into the Divinely Presence,
not the mind.
The mind, there's no reference to the mind in which Allah (AJ) says, ‘The mind of the
believer is My house’ but ‘The heart of the believer’.
So the tariqahs (spiritual paths) come and teach us that these two organs actually are
not being used correctly.
99 percent of people now are using their head for everything - religious, everything spiritual,
every trying to understand everything by what they read, sit and say ‘Logically it makes
sense,’ ‘It doesn't make sense’ and trying to find the Divine through their head
and they can find nothing but egoistic whispers and shaitan waiting for them.
And if they use their head too much, in the end of their life Allah (AJ) merely begins
to shut the energy off and if the energy begins to deplete from the head then they have all
the sicknesses of lost memories and lost identity and lost persona because the emphasis was
all to put energy into the head.
And the spiritual paths come and say – no, the energy actually should be into your heart
and all this focus should be into the heart and that the energy and the Divinely Presence
is within the heart.
And if the heart is activated, because we want to reiterate from last night, it's not
that you can tune in and say, ‘Now I'm going to follow my heart and that's the only guidance
I need’.
Is that the heart has to be conditioned, it has to be trained – that was the whole teaching.
It's the brain in tariqah training will be trained to shut off but at the same time when
the brain is shutting off, the heart has to be trained on how to be activated.
So that's not an easy path, it's an extremely difficult path.
People whom wish just to follow their heart with no training, they can become easily deviated
and they lose the foundation of Islam and the basics and the understanding of shari’ah
(Divine law) and they be lost.
It's a whole condition, it's a whole process.
It's not so easy as just one shut off and one turns on.
Means that it’s immense reality of Islam that they come to the shaykhs for the discipline
to understand and how to make the tarbiyah (discipline) of their Islam which is the physicality
and in that phase they'll understand through their brain and the logical understanding
of Islamic law and the natural, natural reality of Islamic law but when they're trying to
reach towards ma’rifah (Gnosticism) and towards iman and faith in which the foundation
of their Islam is strong, they understand the tenets of right and wrong and yes and
no and halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden).
Means then in the way of iman and Maqamul Ihsan (Station of Moral Excellence) as they
wish to rise then it has to be trained in the activation of the heart.
That in this reality, you can't understand faith and you can't understand the heavens
with the head because the head hasn't seen it.
So with a strong foundation in their belief and then the strong disciplines put upon them
then they're trained on how to open the heart because only with a strong foundation can
the heart open, without a foundation it can become hypocrisy in which the heart of someone
who has no tenant and no discipline can go all over the place.
Say, ‘Oh my heart feels like this, my heart loves this, my heart loves that,’ and it
become fasiq and very dangerously wrong.
So the understanding was for the higher levels of belief is that the student will train on
how to deactivate their head in this realm of iman (faith) and Maqamul Ihsan.
And as a result of their disciplines, they're train their heart on how to be activated,
how to make their connection and how to turn off the signal and activate the reality of
the heart.
With all the co-ordinance that have been taught, with all the foundation that been taught like
a building of a structure now that they're solid in their foundation and their understandings
of do and don't and right and wrong and as a result they begin to train in their tafakkur
and in their contemplation and that's all then based on the level of the heart in which
they have to open the light of the heart, they have to make the connection with the
light of the heart so that Allah (AJ) can begin to illuminate the heart of the believer.
And from that point on like you're entering into another dimension of realities which
the brain has no capacity.
So then at that time the brain will be turned off and they're trained on how to shut their
head and open their heart and as a result of that the heart has a infinite capacity
to receive the lights, receive the guidance and begin to be a vessel and vehicle for inspiration.
And that what we described that when Allah (AJ) teaches the servant and this been done
correctly, the head will become the khalifa (representative) of the heart.
Allah (AJ) will allow the head of that servant to become the representative of His Divinely
Presence which should be residing within the heart of the servant otherwise the head is
just a representative of shaitan at first.
Because everyone comes into the world and then based on their actions, their parents
and their upbringings they become wild.
What happens then as a result of the wildness - is that shaitan begins and the nafs and
shaitan are occupying that person and as a result they're controlling the head and the
throne of shaitan is in the heart of that person controlling the head.
And what Allah (AJ) want from us is that – come to your disciplines, come to the reality of
Islam which is for your physicality and as a result of coming to the training of your
physicality, make all of your submission now to enter into your heart, open your heart,
open the light within your heart, open the infinite capacity for ishq (love) and muhabbat
and kindness within the heart and then Allah (AJ) inshaAllah to grant the head to become
the khalifa of the heart because it learned on how to turn off as a reality of... as a...
as an example of being off, it reached its binary reality.
It understood it has to turn off and the heart will turn on.
And as soon as the heart turns on, we said then they're now inheriting that Holy Hadith
al Qudsi (Holy Hadith) in which the servant completed their fard (obligatory).
So means that's what we wanted to clarify people who may tune in and say, ‘Oh we just
have to follow our heart, no more to follow religious laws and…’ no.
The Hadith was clear in which Allah (AJ) said, ‘No, they complete all of their obligatory
worshipness,’ they keep their disciplines and the tenets of their belief according to
Islamic laws and as a result of that now Allah (AJ) will begin to dress them with a Divinely
love which, ‘I’ll become your hearing,’ well this is now all the head is now becoming
dressed with Allah's (AJ) honor.
It becomes Allah’s (AJ) khalifa because the khalifa of Allah (AJ) is the one whom
hears Allah (AJ), sees with Allah (AJ), speaks on behalf of the Divinely Kingdom.
So means these are all of the crown of this creation that Allah (AJ) wants to crown that
servant but at first it's being used by shaitan and that's the danger.
And Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would teach that people go for higher learning, if they don't have
a strong tenant of Islam, strong foundation of Islam, all Higher Learning is meant to
take away the belief on a higher power and that they're capable of everything, they want
to increase knowledges and increase sciences to prove or disprove the existence of a Creator
which not allowed.
So that's why then if the foundation is strong, the belief in Islam is strong then all knowledge
is in the pursuit and glorification of Allah (AJ) and that then becomes a blessed knowledge
and a blessed servant in which Allah (AJ) then dresses that head to become a holy head
in which the ears represent Allah's (AJ) hearing, the eyes represent Allah’s (AJ) seeing,
the tongue represents Allah's (AJ) Divinely inspirations.
And that the head is now shining from the light of the heart, not trying to shine itself,
not trying to illuminate itself.
It understood its binary reality, it understood that the head is most powerful when it's in
a off position and the heart is on and that's what we call ‘Guidance’ and the ‘Guides.’
The reality of true guides is they reached their binary reality, they reached their understanding
and training on how to shut the head off, turn their heart on and as a result guidance
comes through their head which 90 percent of mankind is the reverse – they're taught
to shut your heart off and keep using your head.
And in some schools of training, in psychologies and medicines and I think law and other thing,
they keep telling you, ‘Don't use your heart.
This is not about anything to do with the heart, don't talk about faith.
This not anything to do about higher power.
This is it, memorize this and speak it.’
So they actually encourage you to turn your heart off and that's a danger, that's a big
danger because the heart is the infinite capacity of the Creator.
And that's why then the three, four, five hundred years ago the immense amount of sciences
that were coming out from Islam because they had immense hearts.
These were pious awliya (saints) whom their hearts are infinite capacity and as a result
whatever was coming from their head was from Divinely Presence and they brought onto this
Earth illumination.
Science is from Muslims, medicine is from Muslims, psychology is from Muslims, anything
you can think of Math, computer, arithmetic, algorithm - everything is from Islam because
the system in which they cut their head, opened their heart and as a result the Divinely Presence
comes and then begins to use the head in accordance with Allah's (AJ) Divinely Will and they illuminated
the entire Earth with knowledges and realities and till today we're benefiting from their
‘ilm and their knowledges and all the way till the Day of Judgment is the foundation
of Allah (AJ) is going to show and during these calamities it will again shine to show
that their system is correct, the illumination of the heart is most powerful.
And if the heart is illuminated and illuminated in the correct way and correct understanding,
it can reach to the highest levels of Allah's (AJ) Divinely Presence.
In which a heart that is illuminated with not that highest then alhamdulillah it's illuminated,
it has a light but not the light that Allah (AJ) wanted to grant which is the Muhammadan
light and the Muhammadan kingdom and Maqamul Mahmood that to dress the heart of the servant.
We pray that Allah (AJ) illuminate the hearts of our people and that to keep us with the
ishq and the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ on this journey into the Divinely heart and
Divinely lights from all the way from TaSeen to Surat Al-YaSeen and from Surat Al-YaSeen
into this holy month and Allah's (AJ) dress upon this holy month and upon our hearts.
