As Salaamu Alaykum respected Sayyidi Walaykum As Salaam respected brother
Can you kindly help me how to silence one’s mind throughout the day and during meditation?
How to delete unwanted thoughts and painful hurting memories?
How to… can we do that again?
[shaykh laughs] Kindly help me how to silence one’s mind
throughout the day and during meditation?
How to delete unwanted thoughts and painful hurting memories?
Yeah, the whole process of the mind then is all of the salawats (praises upon Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ), all the zikrs (Divine remembrances), all the active mind then ‘La [into the head],
ilaha [into the right chest], illallah [into the heart], La, ilaha, illallah.’
The active mind is the one that the zikr and the meditation, when we’re making meditation
and asking for the connection it’s an energy that we’re trying to build more energy onto
the soul and more of the reflection of these positive energies.
When you begin to make your salawat, your first zikr is, ‘La ilaha illallah.’
When we begin to make your zikrs and our salawat, the first zikr is - La [shaykh points to head],
ilaha [shaykh points to right chest], illallah [shaykh points to heart] – up [into the
head], right [into the right chest], left [into the heart], up, right, left.
The upward light is ‘La’ so that we’re bringing that energy into the head to silence
the head.
So it’s everyone’s problem, everyone on this earth is head-strong and heart-weak.
So, this system is going to have to flip in which the light and the energy hit to the
head to shut off the head so that the head becomes weak and the heart becomes strong.
Head-strong is - arguing, doubting, questioning, everything is very active in the head region.
The tariqah (spiritual path) wants it strong in the heart not in the head.
Allah (AJ) wants it, Islam wants it, Prophet ﷺ wants it to be strong in the heart not
the head.
When you’re too much whispering, you hear too many whisperings, you’re thinking too
much – the process is wrong.
The light that you been meditating has to keep hitting the head, you have to increase
the zikr of ‘La ilaha illallah’ and keep telling yourself – everything is under Allah’s
(AJ) command, everything is under Allah’s (AJ) Sovereignty and Power and that that light
hits the head and begins to shut off the head and the same time ‘Illallah’ – that
light is reflecting onto the heart to make the heart to be stronger.
Then all the salawats that we do, “Allahumma salli 'ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa 'ala aali
Sayyidina Muhammad” then has immense lights, immense powers upon the soul.
And these lights are the ones that come to lessen the amount of waswas (whispering),
lessen the amount of all the bad thoughts, and then the other part of the past and the
future.
That when we’re meditating and contemplating you should not be able to be thinking because
you’re not doing it in silence.
So, you shouldn’t be in a process of any thought at all because if you’re meditating
you’re playing your salawats and making your connection.
The salawats that you’re playing is supposed to make you feel that you’re in Madina,
that you’re in the presence of Prophet ﷺ and you’re making your connection, your
mind should be focusing on the salawats.
We don’t meditate in silence so that to now go into this fitna (confusion) and past
problems and future problems and overthink everything.
Some people have very sort of manic minds where they can immediately sit for two seconds
in silence and think of every problem in the last ten years.
And that’s not the concept of meditation.
The meditation is not to go into your head at all.
So, that’s why the step by step - you sit, you make the connection, you play your salawats,
your mind should be listening to the salawats as if the angels are around you praising upon
Prophet ﷺ.
And that should be the focus and that the faiz (downpouring blessings), the energy of
the zikr – whatever we’re trying to accomplish in that meditation to be accomplished.
So, that we don’t think of those things and go deep into these problems.
And then we have talks on the other issues that at other times when you think of the
past you have to learn how to cut that.
The past has happened – Allah (AJ) allowed those things to partake in our memory for
whatever reason we needed to have those experiences.
We cut the rope of the past and don’t think about the future.
Live in the present.
Live for today this moment.
If you can cut these two ropes, you’ll be somebody that can always fly and you’ll
be very subtle in your nature.
Past is whatever it is, don’t think about it – it’s already gone, it’s a milk
that’s been spilt, it’s something Allah (AJ) already wrote - it’s finished.
The future is none of our business.
You don’t have to worry about, ‘How am I going to do this?
Where it’s going to come?
Where is this going to come?
Where is that going to come?’
The same One Who provided everyday is going to provide in the future.
So, we try our best to cut the past, cut the future and at that moment to be grateful and
thankful for what Allah (AJ) is giving, then you have the ability to levitate, to rise
and to have a more ethereal power from your soul, inshaAllah.
Because those are two ropes that bind the person, and those are controlled by shaitan
(satan) whispering all the past events: ‘You did like this, remember like this…
Oh this one talk like this,’ that means shaitan has now come and he’s activating
that rope.
Then fear of the future is a satanic rope again because shaitan is coming and putting
fear into the person instead of having faith.
InshaAllah.
As Salaamu Alaykum Shaykh Walaykum As Salaam wa rahmahtullah
Shaykh always emphasizes to have a living shaykh.
I’m trying my best to keep the practice but failing in many ways.
What happens if our living connection is lost?
What or how will I be able get guidance then?
Oh, I’m not dead [shaykh laughs].
So, if… yeah that’s why exactly you’re listening to this broadcast now, watching
this channel now because you have to have an interactive relationship with the shaykh,
otherwise the shaitan will be the shaykh.
So, there has to be an interactive relationship, the student has to have been trained in all
of these trainings that we keep teaching.
The all the principles of Naqshbandiya, the first principle ‘Hosh dar Dam’ – ‘Conscious
Breathing.’
So, you have to have been trained in breathing, contemplating and making your heart connection
so that it went from a sort of dial-up connection to a cellular connection to a satellite connection
so that you are connected with them from the people of the world of light.
Then wherever you go that connection is with you like a satellite phone.
It doesn’t need a landline, it doesn’t a cellular network, it’s coming from malakut
(heavenly realm) down to the heart.
Until that is established then they need a living guide to continuously calibrate and
to teach and to give the coordinates.
So, I would assume if you’re listening to these then it’s clear that this is a shaykh
who’s living and learn and absorb and practice as much as you can to make your connection.
That’s why I said - get these resources.
You don’t get the book and tomorrow they tell you that for some reason they’re shutting
off the internet, they’re cutting on Muslim sites.
You know Amazon is actually censoring Muslim reviews.
So, they… if you go to ‘Sufism,’ the dajjal (man of deceit) book is number one
with three thousand reviews and has nothing to do with Islam or Sufism.
Some sort of crazy Hindu thing.
But in… when our people are writing reviews, they’re blocking it.
So, you never know in this world we live in do they cut off internet, do they cut off
these things and nobody has any access to any resources, and do they shut off channels
and shut off communications.
So, these are the resources that are coming out in very very dark times anticipating much
more extreme difficulties.
At that time is not going to be Amazon driving and delivering to you next day.
You know you just look at what’s happening in the world, there’s no Amazon in Damascus,
there’s no Amazon happening now in Burma, there’s no Amazon delivering… these the
areas are all going to be like that.
So, these are just a time Allah (AJ) gives to us to sort of prepare ourself, have our
resources, make the connections, make our deals, make our bargaining’s with Allah
(AJ) that we want from what You gave of dunya (material world) we want to give it and take
akhirah (hereafter) in exchange so that we can make that connection, make that love – make
that muhabbat.
And alhamdulillah many people are emailing with immense amounts of realities.
That brother online he emailed that his brother was sick, they got the du’as (supplications),
they got the ta’weezs (prayers for protection) and they couldn’t find his cancer.
So, these are you know in Allah’s (AJ) Hands what He wants to take away, but requires them
to have the acts of faith, to act upon the faith, to do all of these practices and if
Allah (AJ) want to take away a difficulty Allah (AJ) takes away the difficulty.
And there’s many examples of these and the shaykhs are not interested in promoting miracles.
But don’t think that it’s not miraculous, that the…
Allah’s (AJ) Might and Majesty is unimaginable and the love and majesty of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ can’t be even understood of what blessings it brings, what difficulties it takes away.
So, these are the times in which we see…
That was a interesting question we had last night when they asked about dajjal, ‘Do
you think the dajjal is coming?’
It was astonishing for me, not to make an insult to anybody who asked it, but my goodness
in the last two years was there anything but dajjal.
Whoever thought that you’d be locked up in your home, that all travel would be banned,
all commerce around the world shut down, for what?
For an unseen cold and flu?
It wasn’t that.
There’s… the flu is everywhere but that was a you know testing from Allah’s (AJ)
Might and Majesty that the dajjal time has come, the Mahdiyoon times have come and they’re
at the door and the whole world is in a state of a… of immense testing.
So, yes, yes definitely it’s everywhere.
It’s a matter of how much are we going to prepare ourselves and have all of the abilities
and tools and the training that we need inshaAllah.
As Salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum As Salaam wa rahmahtullah
When using the cane does it need to touch the earth directly or can we walk with it
inside?
How do you walk inside?
Just holding it?
Yeah, I didn’t…
I don’t know if you just want to hold it like… just hold it that’s okay.
But the grounding aspect of it… like in the house you don’t have to ground but if
you’re going out to a crowded area, to an airport, to museum, to wherever you’re going
– the concept of it touching the ground is so that it can ground the negativity.
And even if it has the rubber stopper it’s okay because Allah (AJ) is the One who’s
going to release that energy from the body.
But the fact that it… that you’re putting the third prong because your two feet and
the energies that the feet are carrying and the third is then the ‘asaa (cane), and
the immense blessings of following the sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) of Sayyidina
Muhammad ﷺ that then purge all the negative energies.
So that when we breathe we bring the positive energy in and all negativity to be pushed
out.
So, the ‘asaa and the sunnah of the ‘asaa and reviving the sunnah, so at many different
levels has an immense blessing.
So when you walk, forget about just the energy, just walking with the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ
is a revival of the sunnah and Allah (AJ) and the angels are blessing that servant because
they’re reviving the sunnah in a time when everything becomes lost and the sunnah of
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ becomes lost.
As Salaamu Alaykum wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatuh Sayyidi
Walaykum As Salaam wa rahmahtullahi wa barakatuh.
And you get preferential treatment too [shaykh shows his cane and smiles].
Sayyidi can blood get dirty from bad actions?
And if so can it cause pain in the body?
Shukran for everything.
Blood is dirty in the body to begin with, because Prophet ﷺ taught that shaitan runs
through the blood.
That’s why all of these practices are meant to go after that blood, so when we know the
shaitan is running through the blood that’s why the system of what we eat - the blood
has to be taken out because that’s where the dirtiness is running.
So, the meat that has the blood - the dirtiness, the bacteria, the bad energy is in the blood.
And that’s why the zabiha (sacrifice) is the process of pulling the blood out.
The halal (permissible) is the process of taking away these energies, so that’s already
a given.
Within insan (mankind) shaitan is moving through our blood system, so how he’s attacking
the organs, attacking the body is that he’s moving through the blood and that’s why
the organs that the blood is involved with then are in danger by the movement of shaitan.
That’s why then the food we eat has an affect on that blood to burn the shaitan inside.
The du’as that we make puts an angelic energy upon that again burning the shaitan that’s
moving through the blood and the digestive systems.
The energies through the meditation, through the tafakkur (contemplation), through the
siyam and fasting.
And that’s why Prophet ﷺ described that when you fast, it puts a fire on shaitan and
lowers the satanic power inside somebody.
And that’s why fasting is highly prescribed for people so that to contain their satanic
anger, satanic character, because it burns the shaitan within them.
Fasting the White Nights are immensely important because that’s a station and a maqam of
the moon.
This is a station – Maqamul Fardani.
And that one that’s responsible for that maqam (station) and sitting at that maqam
will dress that servant for the fasting of the White Nights.
So, all of these realities are meant to dress the servant, bless the servant and specifically
target the blood.
One – to lessen the satanic influence in the blood and then to purify the blood, because
once you have to take that bad out and burn the satanic influence, the next is to purify
the blood and specifically the iron onside that blood so that the iron becomes a polished
clean iron and that’s where the nazma (energy field) and the qudra (power) is attaching
itself.
So, when their blood is clean and their irons are polished by zikrullah (Remembrance of
Allah), by salawat, by all their practices, the energy of their being is very radiant.
And people can feel the energy, they can bring their energy out and move the energy.
So, all of this is based on that inshaAllah.
That’s it.
