“Fa A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.”
“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 are still in existence. Alhamdulillah that Allah (AJ) granted us to enter this holy month
Rabi’ul Thani and the month of Holy Qur’an. Every month is a dress of Holy Qur’an and from the
‘uloom (knowledge) of awliyaullah (saints) this is the month in which Surat Al-YaSeen
is dressing the entire of creation and this way of ma’rifah (Gnosticism) into the
heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Manzil ul Qur’an (where the Holy Qur’an emanates)
that those whom love the Holy Qur’an they must know that the house in which emanates
this reality – Manzil ul Qur’an is the holy heart Of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. In this world of light
there's always a qalb (heart) - a centerpoint of energy in which these realities must be emanating.
Everything from Allah (AJ) is tawheed and oneness, it's not just everywhere. It emanates from a
nucleus, from a point, a dot - a nuqt and that nuqt emanates out its power
and that power is emanating from creation. “La ilaha illAllah”
is a qudra and a power that emanates through the reality of “Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ".
This way of ma’rifah and Gnosticism, this way of realities is for those whom are spiritually
mature. Those whom are immature and wish to continue their childish behaviour then they seek
something else, that go back to kindergarten and sit there and learn how to finger paint.
When you decide that you're going to be mature and Allah (AJ) accepts your path of maturity,
He sets you on a pace of what we call ‘Rijalullah’ (men of God) that those whom are seeking a path
of maturity. Because many people think they're Abdullah (servant of Allah (AJ)), ‘Oh I want to
be abd’ (servant) but that's a very high rank. And to be ubaid means to be the servant of an Abdullah
is the way and the adab (manners) and before any of that can open you have to be rijalullah.
That you have to be in a school of tarbiyah (discipline) and training that takes away
kindergarten mentality and making your diaper to be dirty. You have to be potty-trained,
you have to be given disciplines, you have to be given all sorts of characteristics that
are signs of maturity. So just in our physical school same that they say, ‘Oh we can't start
these grades until they know how to take care of themself in the wash facility and they can't go
to upper and higher grades if they continue to slap and hit and beat people in their classes’.
So everything that we learn in the physical world is an example of our spiritual path. Allah (AJ) is
looking to those inspiring those, because there's mureed (devoted disciples) and murad – those whom
Allah (AJ) has sought them means bringing them towards this path and those whom are inspired
towards goodness and they understand, ‘I have to leave the lower character,
the bad characteristics and I must progress’. And they meditate, they contemplate, they find
a yearning within their heart to rise above bad character. Everyone knows when they make
their diaper dirty. Means that when they have bad character, bad actions it's the equivalent
in Allah’s (AJ) Presence and in the teachings of awliyaullah that you keep making your diaper dirty
because the bad character is inflicted upon oneself.
When the insan and the human decides, ‘I’m not going to do that anymore
and I have to rise above this process of putting my badness upon myself and upon everyone’. They're
inspired within their heart then take a path towards maturity in which to discipline oneself,
discipline the character, discipline your mouth, discipline your hands. Today's ‘Mouth’ is ‘Hands’
and that's one of the miracles of Qur’an that Allah (AJ) said, ‘We are going to seal your
lips when we bring you into the heavens.’ Because Allah (AJ) is addressing the last days
and the last days you would be right to assume must be then the worst of creation because
they're coming right near the phase of death in which this whole world will be resurrected and
Allah (AJ) is addressing miraculously, ‘I’m going to seal your lips. The minute you die, your lips
will be sealed before you can make any testimony before the Divinely Presence and then I’m going
to ask your hands what you've done’. Immediately drawing our attention to lips and hands are linked
and God Almighty is teaching that, ‘From your mouth comes hypocrisy, from your mouth comes every
bad character.’ And now in the last days people don't even need to talk anymore but their fingers
are doing the talking and that's why Allah (AJ) is inspiring with this, ‘I’m gonna make your fingers
talk to me too’. That don't think, ‘Oh I didn't say it by my lip but I typed it like a person with
no mind.’ Allah (AJ) going to ask, ‘Everything you typed and every finger that you moved I’m
going to make that finger testify to Me. One – what did it say, what did it do, who did it say
it to’. And imagine if those fingers are making comments against those whom Allah (AJ) loves.
And that's why they don't have manners, they don't... they're not taught manners
and they have no taqwa (consciousness). When you so quickly are able to make your fingers
be belligerent and horrific comments, horrific writings, you have absolutely no taqwa – no
consciousness; no sense of fear that God forbid this may be a pious servant of Allah (AJ), one
whom Allah (AJ) has drawn a favor upon them means is a... has a love for them
and you're just typing, typing, typing nonsense. And Allah (AJ) has many different understandings
that, ‘Don't come against My awliya (saints) otherwise I declare war against you’.
That is because for their protection. That when Allah (AJ) is giving to
them, ‘Go out and balagh - go out and give a good guidance.’ “Balaghul Mubeen” - ‘Give a clear
understanding from these teachings’, you don't think Allah (AJ) has got their back covered?
And that Allah (AJ) is teaching that, ‘If you come against My awliya I’m actually going to
declare war upon you’. Because other people email, ‘Shaykh are you worried that people are going
to come against you for saying the truth?’ Why would I worry when I have Allah (AJ) guarding me.
The one whom typing bad things, saying bad things, can you really sleep at night tonight
thinking Allah’s (AJ) guarding you or that you're so frail that anything can attack you
and Allah (AJ) will be nowhere to be found to help you. Allah’s (AJ) with those whom have good
character, with nabiyeen (prophets). Because Allah (AJ) says in Holy Qur’an, ‘I am with nabiyeen,
siddiqeen (truthful), shuhadayi (witnesses) was saliheen (righteous) and those whom with them’.
Which of nabiyeen would tolerate somebody who types bad, belligerent, dog character,
bad character? Is siddiqeen with them? You think any shuhada, mushahada – those whom
their hearts are open are with those types of people or they’re typing things like that?
Or saliheen whom are righteous because they accompany siddiqeen, they accompany nabiyeen,
they accompany shuhada. These are a category of a group that are always together. Saliheen
are never away from shuhada. There's not a saliheen who became saliheen that doesn't sit
with somebody who has mushahada because the food in which a saliheen requires, the blind can't help
him. ‘Saliheen’ means ‘Pious and righteous servants’ not self-proclaimed righteousness
but in the Eyes of Allah (AJ) they have such a taqwa and such a sensitivity upon their soul that
Allah (AJ) deems them to be righteous and in their righteousness they can't eat regular food. We're
not talking about physical. They can't take the sustenance of their teaching in regular teaching.
Their sustenance... they must be sustained from spiritual teachings that, that revitalize their
soul. So there's no saliheen on this Earth that Allah (AJ) made saliheen that does not accompany
the shuhada. And those shuhada whom their hearts are open; mushahada, they witness what Allah (AJ)
wants them to witness. At all times their heart is open and under Allah’s (AJ) command. When
Allah (AJ) wants them to see, they see. When Allah (AJ) doesn't need them to see, they don't see;
it's not in their control. And as a result their heart of these mushahada, they're always in the
presence of siddiqeen. By the virtue and the power of these siddiqeen it keeps an energy
upon them to keep their heart open at all times. And those siddiqeen are the two gates of the Holy
Ka’bah that have hearts upon the doorknobs because the Ka’bah is the heart of Prophet ﷺ.
It's symbolic of the qalb and Manzil ul Qur’an. It's the symbolic House of Allah (AJ), the ancient
House of Allah (AJ) which is the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because everyone knows
that the heart is a symbol of the Ka’bah. That everyone holds a potential Ka’bah within their
being. When Allah (AJ) is - ‘Sanctify My house, purify My house, wash and cleanse
My house and circumambulate My home’ which is the heart of insan, the heart of this creation,
and through this gift of the heart they can reach towards the Divinely Presence.
Means that they must be accompanying the nabiyeen and as a result Allah (AJ) is with them.
When Allah (AJ) is with them then must be good character
and the discipline of good character, the ishq and love and muhabbat of good character. Those whom
are devoid of good character is symbolic for them. You know that when we go out into social media
it’s a weasels, there's a certain creature that can ignite snakes.
They immediately come somewhere and they're able to ignite the snakes within people
and that's one of the gifts that they have. Anywhere that they enter and begin to propagate
this light, the snakes come out and they begin to show themselves. One, is that they're not
harming the shaykh and Allah’s (AJ) watching over them. And if they insist on they're going
to do something bad, Allah (AJ) declares war on them and they don't wake by morning time.
But when the snake comes out, it's for you to see what type of character you have.
That's the sad part that when you reflect and you hear our words
and you hear this.. when this guidance comes out that these people whom become belligerent on just
the hearing of Divine praise on just the hearing of salawats (praises) upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
You have to catch your snakes before you enter the grave.
That when this type of creatures come out and all the snakes are ignited then people whom have
this characteristic, they should self-reflect that, ‘Why, why are my snakes being ignited?
Why do I even have snakes? How do I come against these snakes?’ And if you don't believe you have
the snakes and you have this bad character wait till tonight, in your dreams you'll see snakes
all around you and you’ll see the snakes coming after you and these are your bad characteristics.
And Allah (AJ) is giving to you a warning – if you see the snakes now and you don't resolve
your bad character and you don't seek a path in which to fix your bad character, these snakes are
coming with you into the qabr (grave) and this becomes the azaab (punishment) of your qabr,
the punishment and the difficulty of your grave and it's your own doing. It has nothing to do with
Allah’s (AJ) punishment. Allah (AJ) is giving to you an understanding that, ‘Look, look how
you're ignited with bad character.’ You can never think you're righteous and that your righteousness
allows you to be indecent and unpolite to other creation and to another human being – that's not
righteousness, that's just a hypocrisy within bad, bad characteristics and it allows the
servant to see - look at their snakes, look at their bad character. And if you don't believe
it say, ‘Ya Rabbi show me my bad character,’ and all night long you're going to dream of snakes
and these are all these bad characters trying to inflict harm upon the servant.
If that's the case then they take a path in which to clean themselves. Tawassul (conveyance)…
tasawwuf (purification of the heart) and Sufism and tariqahs (spiritual paths) were the process
of cleaning oneself, washing oneself from the bad characteristics before they enter the grave – this
is Allah’s (AJ) rahmah and mercy. Everyone has bad characteristics but for the one whom
cleans themself now before they enter the grave, that's the one whom is successful.
But the one whom goes into the grave with all their bad characteristics
is a difficulty. We pray that Allah (AJ) inspire people to clean themselves, take a
path in which to clean oneself, rid oneself of the bad nafs (ego), bad desires and bad
characteristics only then can they take away their difficulty and now move towards the light.
