Ya Rabb (O Lord). Very important words for myself, for all of us.
That if not for the mercy of Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ) saved a wretch like me,
I was lost and now I’m found. I was blind and now I see. Ya Rabb
we understand. We understand this role that we play, this game that we're given.
When You created us and wanted us to worship You, created us wanted us to love You, to understand
Your greatness and your ‘Azimat (Magnificence). Sent us down to this dunya (material world)
to be tested, be tested by the fiercest of Your warriors – Azazil.
Means for us to reach to the ‘Arsh (The Divinely Throne)
we have to seek refuge from the shaitan (satan). This is the sir (secret) of the sheen,
the three dots at the ‘Arsh means you've reached to the king, means you've gotten to the throne.
But to get to the king we have to pass through our testing through shaitan
and shaitan has sworn his allegiance to Allah (AJ) that he would fulfill his duty to the best
of his ability with the himmah (zeal) of fire. A fire that consumes everything in its path.
Assumes everything in its path, nothing is spared from fire, means you can't stand in front of fire
and say, ‘Go around me.’ Allah (AJ) says, ‘He's a fire
ya Bani Adam (Children of Adam) stay away from him, that fire is going to consume you,
burn you, annihilate you. Stay on Siratal Mustaqim (the Straight Path).’ Means seek refuge from
that fire once it starts to circumambulate around you, engulf you around. His job is to
bring us down, bring us low, deface us and humiliate us. And our only job is just to repent.
If at any time you've given up hope and succumb to the fire and believe that Allah (AJ) is
not Ghafoor ur Raheem ((The All Forgiving, The Most Merciful), and that Allah (AJ)
meant for you to burn and meant for you to be bad, ya Bani Adam, don't give up hope! There's no such
thing. Allah (AJ) is Ghafoor ur Raheem, Allah (AJ) is Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem (In the Name of
Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful). Ahle Tariqah (People of the spiritual path)
know that no one should fall in the hands of shayateen (devils) no matter what they do,
what they do to tariqah (spiritual path), what they do to themselves.
That the door is always open and we're asking because it's Ramadan Ya Rabb, whatever
we did to harm people we beg for their forgiveness. Whatever people did to harm
us we accept their forgiveness. This is a loving creation and we understand what shaitan is doing,
we understand that his job is to humble us - make you to trip and hit your face onto the floor,
but at no time can you give up and think that there is not a loving Creator
who is just waiting there to pick you up and kiss you and brush you up.
