0:00:09.333,0:00:15.209
“A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir [br]Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.”[br]

0:00:15.209,0:00:20.080
“Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.”[br]And always a reminder for

0:00:20.080,0:00:25.040
myself ana abdukal 'ajeezu, dayeefu, [br]miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, and but for

0:00:25.040,0:00:29.960
the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are [br]still in existence. Alhamdulillah

0:00:31.520,0:00:39.400
for all the khidmat (service). That alhamdulillah [br]everyone putting out nice AI videos, images,

0:00:39.400,0:00:46.200
and cutting up the longer videos, putting [br]out reels. InshaAllah Allah (AJ)... Also,

0:00:46.200,0:00:52.200
people translating to Spanish, to other [br]languages. Allah (AJ) give everybody immense

0:00:52.200,0:00:58.560
blessings and himmah (zeal) to do more. Our food [br]collection, mashAllah, immense amounts of food

0:00:58.560,0:01:03.280
being collected. Our video productions, in-house [br]productions, the zikrs (Divine remembrance), the

0:01:03.280,0:01:10.200
majlis (association), the center. Alhamdulillah [br]for everyone's life of service and their immense

0:01:10.200,0:01:16.640
love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ shows by [br]the khidmat and the service. InshaAllah,

0:01:16.640,0:01:22.280
the food distributions, the orphanage [br]support, the qurbani (sacrifice) programs,

0:01:22.280,0:01:28.800
the water well programs, and distributing food [br]in Kenya. Hopefully now in Nigeria there's

0:01:28.800,0:01:36.400
a Naqshbandi out there that will start putting [br]out food and qurbans. In Pakistan and Vancouver,

0:01:36.400,0:01:41.800
Los Angeles, Chicago. So, alhamdulillah, [br]everywhere, wherever we can go and wherever

0:01:41.800,0:01:50.080
there's students whom are willing to participate. [br]All it takes is a… somebody with a bit of himmah

0:01:50.080,0:01:57.360
or zeal within their heart to want to serve, want [br]to participate, and the rest Allah (AJ) opens. We

0:01:57.360,0:02:03.480
pray that Allah (AJ) inspire their hearts to [br]send us more people who want to participate

0:02:03.480,0:02:09.240
and have the zeal - the himmah in which to [br]participate and receive the nazar (gaze) of

0:02:09.240,0:02:25.911
Prophet ﷺ and alhamdulillah, inshaAllah.[br]Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa

0:02:25.911,0:02:25.988
wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.[br]Ya shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem

0:02:25.988,0:02:27.160
(The Most Generous Messenger). Ameen![br]InshaAllah, what we have from last

0:02:27.160,0:02:34.000
week? InshaAllah we'll go over some of the things [br]we have from last week. Anybody... comments from

0:02:34.000,0:02:41.440
the talks, we can get where people are on these, [br]inshaAllah, so we don't have to keep opening

0:02:41.440,0:02:52.878
new subjects and we can go over some of the [br]subjects that we've talked about, inshaAllah. [br]

0:02:52.878,0:02:56.720
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi [br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah[br]

0:02:56.720,0:03:05.840
And please, everybody, do go to the Muhammadan Way [br]website and keep playing with the AI. Keep asking

0:03:05.840,0:03:10.600
the AI the questions and ‘what is the awrad’ [br](daily awrad), ‘what is Naqshbandiya,’ ‘what is

0:03:10.600,0:03:15.480
the muraqabah’ (spiritual connection). Whatever [br]you think you want to ask, ask the AI. If the

0:03:15.480,0:03:22.160
answer was good, give thumbs up. If the answer was [br]you think off and missing some essential facts,

0:03:22.160,0:03:28.760
put the thumb down so that they can monitor and [br]begin to tweak the AI because this is all custom

0:03:28.760,0:03:35.640
and in-house for us. It'll go off of ChatGPT [br]and we'll be running on our own servers. So,

0:03:35.640,0:03:41.760
the more input we have, then the more the guys who [br]are monitoring can understand where the answer is,

0:03:41.760,0:03:46.400
how to tweak it, and how to make it more [br]appropriate or if something was inappropriate,

0:03:46.400,0:03:50.320
inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) bless everyone [br]and dress everyone and try your best

0:03:50.320,0:03:55.440
to use it and spread for people to use it [br]because it's truly amazing. Pretty soon,

0:03:55.440,0:04:01.840
it'll be answering the emails and correspondence, [br]everything because it gives a much better reply

0:04:01.840,0:04:09.000
because it has also the AI for English, letter [br]writing, it has a very eloquent skill of

0:04:09.000,0:04:17.400
putting knowledges into an information back to [br]somebody. So, alhamdulillah, very good. Sorry,

0:04:17.400,0:04:25.164
what was the question?[br]As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi.[br]

0:04:25.164,0:04:27.880
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]Could you please expand on the strong-tied

0:04:27.880,0:04:34.000
analogy you used that could possibly take [br]a student away or cause difficulties on

0:04:34.000,0:04:42.280
their path? Also, the benefits of learning [br]how to swim spiritually and physically.[br]

0:04:42.280,0:04:53.000
How to increase your tie to the shaykh? That's [br]what we asked the AI, and I posted the reply.

0:04:53.000,0:04:59.680
That, ‘How can I serve the Shaykh better?’ [br]Go to Nurmuhammad, go to our AI, and say,

0:04:59.680,0:05:07.320
‘How can I best serve the Shaykh?’ And then [br]you’ll get a wonderful reply, that better than

0:05:07.320,0:05:12.960
how we would reply, and the English skills from [br]our people, but it comprise it very nicely in

0:05:12.960,0:05:20.320
paragraphs. That ‘Do like this, do like this, do [br]like this’. And I encourage people to go to the AI

0:05:20.320,0:05:26.160
and actually ask that ‘how to increase the ties,’ [br]and it listed that everything that we've talked

0:05:26.160,0:05:35.200
about is that do all of the services and practices [br]that the shaykh has asked. So I don't really think

0:05:35.200,0:05:45.480
if somebody is truly, truly doing what has been [br]taught that they would have any doubt of their

0:05:45.480,0:05:51.960
connection and the strength of their connection. [br]But it's when we leave things, and we truly don't

0:05:51.960,0:05:59.960
listen because we have ears but it's sometimes [br]difficult for people to hear, and it's important

0:05:59.960,0:06:05.880
to go back to everything that's been taught. [br]That we do the charity. Why? So that our hearts

0:06:05.880,0:06:14.320
are open and that we have a charitable, humble [br]character. We live a life of service, wanting to

0:06:14.320,0:06:22.160
serve others and improve the conditions of others [br]while we want to improve our own conditions. Then

0:06:22.160,0:06:27.400
we do our meditation, our muraqabah, all our [br]practices that the shaykh has asked. Why? So

0:06:27.400,0:06:35.760
that we have our spiritual connection. So, body, [br]mind, and soul must be connected to the way. So

0:06:35.760,0:06:41.360
how do you connect the body and it has reference [br]to parts of the soul – Is by your charitable acts.

0:06:41.360,0:06:48.240
How do you tame the physical body? By putting your [br]time into it, putting your effort into practices,

0:06:48.240,0:06:54.320
going out and doing charities. Although it dresses [br]the soul, but it has a very strong discipline upon

0:06:54.320,0:07:01.800
the physicality. When you've committed yourself [br]and charity is like a tuition into a Divinely

0:07:01.800,0:07:08.160
university. If you were the one paying your [br]tuitions, not your dad, and you pay your tuition,

0:07:08.160,0:07:15.080
you pay your tuition, the likelihood of you [br]showing up to your classes is very high. When

0:07:15.080,0:07:19.800
someone else pays your tuition, you don't really [br]care about the classes because you didn't pay

0:07:19.800,0:07:27.520
for them. You didn't have anything in it to be [br]worried about. If you worked and from that work

0:07:27.520,0:07:33.280
you paid for your courses, you're the first one [br]to show up in the class. There's no difference

0:07:33.280,0:07:39.360
in Allah's (AJ) way. That when we have some skin [br]in the game, when we have our own participation

0:07:39.360,0:07:44.520
in the game, when we do our charity, we do our [br]service. Oh, you know how many times we went out

0:07:44.520,0:07:49.800
and fed, and how many times we did this and how [br]many times we did that. You're tied into that

0:07:49.800,0:07:56.560
system. You're not likely to bounce around and [br]bounce out of it unless you're willing to restart

0:07:56.560,0:08:03.720
that whole system somewhere else. And most people [br]after a few years of serving and giving and doing,

0:08:03.720,0:08:10.400
that's it, you know, they put the nail on their… [br]on the rope, and they're tied to the shaykh,

0:08:10.400,0:08:14.480
tied to the way, tied to the tariqah (spiritual [br]path), and that's what we're trying to do is teach

0:08:14.480,0:08:22.240
people: tie yourself to the tariqah, tie yourself [br]to the love of Prophet ﷺ. How? By following the

0:08:22.240,0:08:29.920
tariqahs. You can't say, ‘I'm just going to [br]follow and love the Prophet by myself ﷺ.’ Very

0:08:29.920,0:08:37.800
difficult. The overwhelming tide of people do not [br]talk like that nor think like that. So you start

0:08:37.800,0:08:43.680
to try to watch other people's TikToks, social [br]medias, and YouTubes, and the last thing they talk

0:08:43.680,0:08:52.080
about is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They even, even [br]give reference to Hadith and Qur'an and they lie,

0:08:52.080,0:08:58.080
and it wasn't true. And you go back and say, [br]‘This is not true at all.’ When someone said,

0:08:58.080,0:09:03.600
‘lower your gaze, and the gaze was only for the [br]men to lower their gaze,’ it was a lie. The Qur'an

0:09:03.600,0:09:11.320
actually asked women ‘Lower their gaze,’ but [br]that person who said that was lying. So they

0:09:11.320,0:09:15.760
don't even have a problem about lying of Qur'an [br]and Hadith because they'll reference everything

0:09:15.760,0:09:23.760
according to themself and their understandings. [br]So tariqah is a path to the heart of Prophet

0:09:23.760,0:09:30.640
ﷺ. So to keep on the tariqah, keep on the [br]way, support the tariqah, support the way,

0:09:30.640,0:09:36.920
support your relationship with the shaykh [br]it ties you to the reality. It doesn't tie

0:09:36.920,0:09:41.760
the shaykh because the shaykh is already tied to [br]Prophet ﷺ and to his shaykhs because that's what

0:09:41.760,0:09:47.640
he did all his life. So you're not untying the [br]shaykh if you don't support, and you're going to

0:09:47.640,0:09:52.880
make them to lose their mission. No, no, Allah [br](AJ) will exchange people for better people,

0:09:52.880,0:09:58.960
so the mission's never lost. It's mission [br]impossible. It's always in the heart of Prophet ﷺ,

0:10:00.040,0:10:06.040
but Allah (AJ) will exchange us for a better [br]person. If I don't do what Allah (AJ) asked of me,

0:10:06.040,0:10:11.760
no problem, one better will come and do a better [br]job of what I should have been doing. So the life

0:10:11.760,0:10:19.320
is of service. So all of these bind the student. [br]Then, if they're truly binded and they’re truly

0:10:19.320,0:10:24.960
bound, then you think that they would sit and [br]make their muraqabah, make their connection.

0:10:24.960,0:10:29.960
They paid for it with their blood, their sweat, [br]and their tears. So why aren't they trying to get

0:10:29.960,0:10:36.480
their treasures? So that's the key to tariqah. If [br]we don't do any of that and we just want to know,

0:10:36.480,0:10:44.240
like, ‘How can I increase my connection’, [br]it's not going to be fast. But I recommend

0:10:44.240,0:10:49.080
people to use the AI at the website. And [br]alhamdulillah, very eloquent responses and

0:10:49.080,0:10:58.756
very thorough, inshaAllah.[br]As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi.[br]

0:10:58.756,0:11:01.480
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is

0:11:01.480,0:11:06.680
the Catalyst during tafakkur (contemplation). [br]Does ghadab (anger) come as a catalyst when

0:11:06.680,0:11:13.880
we are heedless and not staying in [br]hudur (presence) of our shaykhs?[br]

0:11:13.880,0:11:23.875
Yeah, the... we have the fire of Nimrod. [br]The talk about the fire, “Qulna ya naaru,

0:11:23.875,0:11:25.400
kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.”[br]Then this is the story of Sayyidina

0:11:25.400,0:11:29.440
Ibrahim (as) being cast into a fire [br]because everyone's going to follow the way

0:11:29.440,0:11:37.760
of the Prophets (as). So this is what the story [br]and these qissah, these realities of the lives of

0:11:37.760,0:11:43.480
the Prophets (as) is that we have to walk through [br]them. So when Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) comes to

0:11:43.480,0:11:48.280
us in this station, and when you study the [br]levels of the heart, when he's coming into

0:11:48.280,0:11:53.972
the Qalb (heart), the Sir (secret), the Sirr [br]e Sir (secret of the secret) Sayyidina Ibrahim

0:11:53.972,0:11:58.320
(as) wa Sayyidina Musa (as) and opening the [br]realities of the kingdom of light, he's coming

0:11:58.320,0:12:04.520
and teaching that: you have to overcome [br]fire. This fire that comes into your life,

0:12:04.520,0:12:12.000
you have to make it to be cool and peaceful. And [br]in your abode, the whole dunya (material world) is

0:12:12.000,0:12:19.480
Nimrod. That's why we call the ‘Fir’aunic [br]bloodline.’ They rule this Earth, and it's in

0:12:19.480,0:12:25.480
Qur'an that they rule the earth because these are [br]the people of Nimrod. These are the people of the

0:12:25.480,0:12:31.840
Fir’auns (pharaohs), these are the descendants [br]that rule the earth till today. And because of

0:12:31.840,0:12:41.360
their allegiance with shaitan (satan), their game [br]is to make people angry and ignorant. That when we

0:12:41.360,0:12:54.360
described in other talks, ignorance—it amplifies [br]anger. Wise people shouldn't be angry; ignorant

0:12:54.360,0:13:03.320
people are always angry. You see them ranting [br]and raving on social media, yelling, screaming,

0:13:03.320,0:13:07.920
yelling, screaming, yelling, screaming, because [br]they're ignorant. But wise people, they don't talk

0:13:07.920,0:13:16.560
like that, they don't even think like that. And [br]as a result of these knowledges, their behaviors

0:13:16.560,0:13:29.120
are different, and the reality is different for [br]them, inshaAllah. What were we talking about?

0:13:30.120,0:13:35.760
What was the question? [Shaykh laughs][br]Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is

0:13:35.760,0:13:41.800
the catalyst during tafakkur…[br]The fire, the fire, yeah. That how

0:13:41.800,0:13:52.144
to control the fire from anger and then bring [br]that fire once it's stable “Qulna ya naaru,

0:13:52.144,0:13:56.360
kunee Bardan wa Salaman” to be “bardan wa [br]salaam” means the presence of Prophet ﷺ.

0:13:56.360,0:14:01.040
So with the salawats (praises upon Prophet [br]ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ) and the Hudur an Nabi ﷺ – the

0:14:01.040,0:14:10.120
presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that fire comes [br]under control and it becomes, and should become,

0:14:10.120,0:14:16.280
something cool and peaceful. When something's [br]cool and peaceful, it means you have a control

0:14:16.280,0:14:22.600
over the fire. The fire becomes the zeal in [br]which you want to operate; you want to conquer;

0:14:22.600,0:14:29.160
you want to go out and spread the word; you want [br]to do the good deeds; you want Prophet ﷺ to be

0:14:29.160,0:14:37.320
happy with us. If it's not under control, it's [br]like a volcano just trying to burn everybody,

0:14:37.320,0:14:45.360
and the zeal becomes anger, and the anger just [br]becomes the scorching and hurting of people. So

0:14:45.360,0:14:53.680
this is an essential station on the Sirr e Sir on [br]how to use the faculty of closeness, of hearing

0:14:53.680,0:15:00.560
and seeing to open up these realities of lights [br]with the salawats and the light of Prophet ﷺ,

0:15:01.480,0:15:08.600
the presence of the Muhammadan fire and not [br]satanic fire. The Muhammadan fire in which is a

0:15:08.600,0:15:16.280
blessed light, and that requires then the salawats [br]so that you can draw near to the Muhammadan fire.

0:15:16.280,0:15:23.120
Without that, the fiery nature of people will be [br]satanic, because everybody's going to have a fire;

0:15:23.120,0:15:28.960
it's an element within them. If you don't [br]do the salawats, the fire becomes satanic,

0:15:30.200,0:15:34.600
and they do, you know... they can even be and [br]say that they're spiritual, but they have a

0:15:34.600,0:15:40.640
strong satanic energy. And if they should get [br]angry or something not the way they want it,

0:15:40.640,0:15:46.360
they explode, and that's when the wildness of [br]their beast that we talked about. So yeah, that

0:15:46.360,0:15:56.620
fire is the love of Prophet ﷺ. The only way to [br]take the light of TaSeen ﷺ is by the salawat and

0:15:56.620,0:16:03.354
durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), [br]inshaAllah on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.[br]

0:16:03.354,0:16:08.400
As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. [br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]

0:16:08.400,0:16:14.960
Is it ever possible for the actions of the form [br]to alter the standing in the world of light,

0:16:14.960,0:16:23.160
or do our actions only reveal and unlock [br]what we already have been given?[br]

0:16:23.160,0:16:28.920
What's the difference in that? How do you know [br]what you've been given and what you're altering,

0:16:30.800,0:16:39.560
because you don't know what you've been given? [br]I would say it's the same. If I don't know what

0:16:39.560,0:16:44.280
Allah (AJ) is giving to me, all my concern [br]should be, again because we're not philosophy

0:16:44.280,0:16:50.960
students here, all my concern in life should be [br]is that my form has to submit and do the Will of

0:16:50.960,0:16:56.360
Allah (AJ) for His kingdom is in my heart, and [br]I want to put His kingdom in my heart. Then,

0:16:56.360,0:17:02.920
my life is to submit. If I submit, I try to [br]use my form for the hasanat (goodness) of

0:17:02.920,0:17:07.640
my dunya. So that I have the goodness [br]of my life that I'll build and use my

0:17:07.640,0:17:13.400
life to build my akhirah (hereafter). [br]I do good, I speak good, I act good,

0:17:13.400,0:17:21.800
and I should see good. What Allah (AJ) gives to [br]me, it doesn't matter if it’s… was decreed for me,

0:17:21.800,0:17:27.360
newly decreed for me or anciently decreed for me. [br]That doesn't matter because Allah (AJ) will give

0:17:27.360,0:17:37.360
what He wants to give. But the most important [br]is to make my physicality to serve. The time I

0:17:37.360,0:17:44.880
have... “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya [br]wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin”. ‘And did

0:17:44.880,0:17:49.680
you think you would not be tested like [br]those who came before you with your life,

0:17:49.680,0:17:57.280
your family, your property, your wealth, your...’ [br]everything will be tested by Allah (AJ).[br]

0:17:57.280,0:18:03.440
So, alhamdulillah, we put all of that so that [br]we can reach our perfection, inshaAllah. And

0:18:03.440,0:18:12.000
there's not too much time left, so these days are [br]immensely important and to learn the understanding

0:18:12.000,0:18:18.720
of service, khidmat and how to draw near to the [br]shaykh, how to draw near to the Hudur e Shaykh and

0:18:18.720,0:18:24.000
the presence of the shaykhs, so that we can [br]move closer to the presence of Sayyidina

0:18:24.000,0:18:36.520
Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah.[br]As salaamu alaykum,

0:18:36.520,0:18:40.080
Sayyidi.[br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]

0:18:40.080,0:18:45.200
Sayyidi, regarding the levels of the heart, does [br]the slave move from one level from the other in

0:18:45.200,0:18:52.440
the exact order, or does he move to specific [br]levels according to his specific conditions?[br]

0:18:52.440,0:18:58.400
No, it's just an opening at all time. It's not [br]necessarily one, then the next, then the next.

0:18:58.920,0:19:08.200
It's a general opening of all realities, [br]but one fully doesn't elevate until the

0:19:08.200,0:19:13.600
lower levels are understood and opened. [br]And they can only be open by a strong

0:19:13.600,0:19:19.400
connection with the shaykh. It's the faiz [br](downpouring blessings) of the shaykh that

0:19:19.400,0:19:24.880
the connection opens those realities. For the [br]Qalb to open, they have to have a very strong

0:19:24.880,0:19:31.520
connection with the shaykhs. It's the knowledge [br]of this, Ilm ul Yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty)

0:19:31.520,0:19:36.360
so that they studied these subjects. Ayn ul Yaqeen [br](Vision of Certainty) means that they entered

0:19:36.360,0:19:42.000
into the subject with the eye of their heart and [br]they're witnessing that light entering into their

0:19:42.000,0:19:48.520
heart. They witness the realities that the shaykh [br]has read about, that wrote about, and they begin

0:19:48.520,0:19:55.400
to witness those realities so that it becomes Haqq [br]ul Yaqeen (Certainty of Truth). So, they have to

0:19:55.400,0:20:05.240
open up the Qalb which is knowledge, they have to [br]open up the Sir which is red, and the inner fight.

0:20:05.240,0:20:12.560
So, if you had and a strong inner fight, you must [br]have a very strong connection with the shaykh

0:20:12.560,0:20:19.360
because you're willing to push off the demon that [br]sits upon the heart and allow the shaykh to sit

0:20:19.360,0:20:26.760
upon the heart. So, that's why at the Sir is a [br]big battle where Sayyidina Umar al-Farooq comes

0:20:26.760,0:20:33.160
to help ‘alayhis salaam that “Qul jaa alhaqq”. [br]That if you're standing for truth, get rid of that

0:20:33.160,0:20:40.680
falsehood within you and around you. So, all of [br]these are you know self-evident. We seek a path

0:20:40.680,0:20:47.920
towards knowledge is the Qalb, so that we become [br]students of knowledge. So, your greatest weapon is

0:20:47.920,0:20:55.440
a pen, to write knowledges, understand knowledges. [br]Those knowledges have to be written onto my book.

0:20:55.440,0:21:00.920
I'm not a spectator just hearing knowledges. I [br]want to write the knowledges so I can transfer

0:21:00.920,0:21:08.320
them onto my kitab (book). Once they're on [br]my kitab, I'm dressed with those knowledges.

0:21:08.320,0:21:13.520
Then I begin to close my eyes, meditate into [br]these knowledges so they become a real and a

0:21:13.520,0:21:19.800
haq (truth) for me. As I'm being dressed by [br]these knowledges, then now you are traversing

0:21:19.800,0:21:25.880
these oceans of light into these realities, into [br]these oceans of realities. You'll be dressed with

0:21:25.880,0:21:31.960
the Sir, and then all the knowledges within the [br]Sir begin to dress the servant. And from the Sir,

0:21:31.960,0:21:38.000
they go to the passing through the Akhfa (most [br]hidden) and the realities of death until they can

0:21:38.000,0:21:45.400
enter into the world of light. Because if you [br]study the diagram that from the Sir, you have

0:21:45.400,0:21:53.800
to pass through the black hole, the black Akhfa [br]reality, which is death. Everything has to die,

0:21:53.800,0:22:02.182
for you to die to reach to the world of light - [br]Alam al Mithal and the world of light and malakut

0:22:02.182,0:22:08.080
(heavenly realm). That's why everything in its [br]key is based on tafakkur and how to contemplate,

0:22:08.080,0:22:13.440
how to connect with the contemplation. And as a [br]result of contemplating, then you would understand

0:22:13.440,0:22:23.320
that your connection with the shaykh is extremely [br]important and how to serve and a khidmat towards

0:22:23.320,0:22:28.520
the shaykh, inshaAllah.[br]As

0:22:33.640,0:22:37.071
salaamu alaykum Sayyidi [br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah[br]

0:22:37.071,0:22:42.560
Sayyidi, you had mentioned about smart contracts [br]and that if you take even one letter from someone,

0:22:42.560,0:22:51.080
you owe your life. Now, what if a person is taking [br]from five different shaykhs, what happens?[br]

0:22:51.080,0:23:00.480
Five different shaykhs, you can’t take from five [br]different shaykhs. So, they take knowledges but

0:23:00.480,0:23:09.816
they're not truly entering the contract with [br]the knowledge. So it's a difference. Your…

0:23:09.816,0:23:15.880
And especially if they’re tariqah shaykhs, it’s [br]very difficult to understand their knowledges,

0:23:15.880,0:23:24.040
make your connection and connect your heart and [br]connect to their wallet and the conveyance of

0:23:24.040,0:23:31.480
their coin into your heart. It's like you playing [br]on a website thinking you have a whole bunch of

0:23:31.480,0:23:38.000
Bitcoins. You don't have the coins; you may even [br]have spam coins where somebody send something

0:23:38.000,0:23:44.080
to you thinking you got a Bitcoin. It's not [br]that easy to get the shaykh’s coins. It means

0:23:44.080,0:23:51.240
you connected. When you sought the connection; [br]you felt the faiz. When you felt the faiz, the

0:23:51.240,0:24:02.080
downloading poured into the heart. We've met many [br]people in this luminous path of ours in 35 years,

0:24:02.080,0:24:11.160
people saying like ridiculously clowny statements [br]that, ‘I hold five tariqahs.’ And they tell us,

0:24:11.160,0:24:16.840
‘You know, Naqshbandi I hold five tariqahs’. Say, [br]‘What kind of a clown is this? How could you talk

0:24:16.840,0:24:24.480
like that?’ You can't even hold the one tariqah; [br]not even one tariqah can be held. Its amanat and

0:24:24.480,0:24:32.480
its trust; its responsibility of how it's holding [br]mankind and their sicknesses kill the shaykhs,

0:24:32.480,0:24:38.200
you're talking about you holding five [br]tariqahs? These are the times we live

0:24:38.200,0:24:45.000
in when ‘They take the religion as a jest’ [br]Allah (AJ) talks about, like a ‘Playing.’[br]

0:24:45.000,0:24:50.920
They say these ridiculous, playful statements [br]as if… what are you talking about? Not even

0:24:50.920,0:24:57.634
one tariqah can be held. All the tariqahs now are [br]in the hands of Imam Mahdi (as) and Sayyidina Ali

0:24:57.634,0:25:04.440
(as). Not one of them can be held. How you hold [br]five tariqahs? And the person doesn't even do

0:25:04.440,0:25:11.680
muraqabah and connect. It doesn't work that [br]way. And when you connect with your shaykh,

0:25:11.680,0:25:16.440
when connected with our shaykh, connected with [br]our shaykh, connected with our shaykh, immense

0:25:16.440,0:25:24.680
amount of testing, immense amounts of humiliation, [br]immense amounts of demolishing and effacing. Onto

0:25:24.680,0:25:33.800
a day in which your heart was smashed and Allah [br](AJ) rebuilt, and as a result of the rebuild,

0:25:33.800,0:25:42.520
the faiz and the flow of knowledges began. That's [br]not something you can go around with five people

0:25:42.520,0:25:51.120
and do because the other four will say, ‘What [br]kind of a adulterer are you? That what you do,

0:25:51.120,0:25:58.240
took from this shaykh, and now you want to [br]come and take ours?’ It’s considered adultery.

0:25:59.200,0:26:07.560
So, no, it doesn't work that way. So, the loyalty [br]is to their life and death with the shaykh. He

0:26:07.560,0:26:13.920
passes, then he represents that reality that the [br]shaykh dressed him for. If he didn't reach that

0:26:13.920,0:26:21.080
trust and he didn't reach his trust, then he will [br]be transferred over to a shaykh that can complete

0:26:21.080,0:26:27.960
him, and he'll now connect with his shaykh and [br]the new shaykh and now again start the process of

0:26:27.960,0:26:35.680
what the shaykh wants as a criteria of loyalty and [br]training, and then to be completed in the process

0:26:35.680,0:26:42.160
of their annihilation and the process of the [br]downpouring and downloading within the heart. So,

0:26:42.160,0:26:49.960
it's not something easy, and it's not something [br]that's playful - it comes and goes. That's why

0:26:49.960,0:26:57.960
we gave the talks on the technology. You know how [br]difficult it is to get this coin? It doesn't don’t

0:26:57.960,0:27:04.440
come like that. You actually have to give your [br]code. See the code of the sending wallet, match

0:27:04.440,0:27:10.960
the code with your receiving wallet, sync them [br]to make sure that you have the correct receiving

0:27:10.960,0:27:20.880
wallet, and then this encryption will come, the [br]transfer will begin, and it's written on a ledger.

0:27:20.880,0:27:26.360
It's written somewhere. Allah (AJ) is the best [br]of those to keep hisaab (account). So, what kind

0:27:26.360,0:27:34.800
of a reality is that, that you're going to try to [br]connect with a shaykh, he's like the Bitcoin mine.

0:27:34.800,0:27:43.600
You're trying to get coins and realities from his [br]heart. They're going to investigate your code and

0:27:43.600,0:27:52.880
the wallet within your heart – Is it capable of [br]receiving this coin. That has to be downloaded,

0:27:52.880,0:27:59.360
the permission in the heart has to be given [br]by Allah (AJ), by Prophet ﷺ, ‘His heart - his

0:27:59.360,0:28:05.880
wallet is capable of receiving the coins you [br]want to send’. Otherwise, he doesn't even have

0:28:05.880,0:28:11.160
the code. You know, if you try to download hex [br]or some other type of code into your wallet,

0:28:11.160,0:28:17.120
for our tech guys who are listening, if it's not [br]there in the receiving wallet, you can't take the

0:28:17.120,0:28:24.960
code because the code will be sent to somebody who [br]can't receive the coin. All of those are signs of

0:28:24.960,0:28:30.880
Allah's (AJ) immense technologies. Allah (AJ) [br]will look to the heart of the receiving servant

0:28:30.880,0:28:37.600
and said, ‘No, that that is not even capable [br]of receiving these knowledges. There is no coin

0:28:37.600,0:28:44.720
ready for them.’ And if it is ready, then their [br]encryption has to match the shaykh's encryption,

0:28:44.720,0:28:49.920
and then begins the faiz with all their testing, [br]with all their loyalty, all their commitment,

0:28:49.920,0:28:55.120
everything they've done and asked that the [br]shaykh has asked and they did of their service,

0:28:55.120,0:29:02.120
their life, their dedication, then these coins [br]begin to download. And they keep checking them

0:29:02.120,0:29:10.760
downloading, downloading. And a greater possession [br]where the shaykh keeps the custody wallet. So,

0:29:10.760,0:29:15.080
now with these technologies, we're understanding [br]where Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say that whatever

0:29:15.080,0:29:22.120
we downloaded to you, we're keeping the custody of [br]it in case one day shaitan plays with you because

0:29:22.120,0:29:28.200
you're not perfected yet, plays with you, makes [br]you lose your mind, and you think you're running

0:29:28.200,0:29:36.160
away with these jewels. So now in technology, they [br]have the custodian. Even when I transfer to you,

0:29:36.160,0:29:42.640
I keep the custody of the wallet. Why? Because [br]anytime I can lock it and hold it back. Or at the

0:29:42.640,0:29:47.680
same time, you can say, 'I lost it. Now what do I [br]do?' Well, if I have the custody of your wallet,

0:29:47.680,0:29:54.800
I can say, 'Oh, we'll give you access again.' So [br]these technologies are immense in showing Divine

0:29:54.800,0:30:02.760
realities, and it's just a tip of the Divine [br]coding on how difficult it is to achieve in

0:30:02.760,0:30:07.960
Allah's (AJ) way. So nobody can say that they're [br]holding five tariqahs, 'I hold this, I hold

0:30:07.960,0:30:14.760
that.' It's not given away like you know cracker [br]jack box and candy and carnival toys. These are

0:30:14.760,0:30:21.240
things that are the trust of the entire created [br]universe, these realities, and just to achieve

0:30:21.240,0:30:28.920
some sense of reality from it is an immense [br]achievement than anyone could ever possibly

0:30:28.920,0:30:35.480
say they hold the tariqah. That, that is in the [br]hands of Imam Mahdi (as) because the burden of

0:30:35.480,0:30:41.040
it is too heavy and too high. If they have ijazah [br](permission) for zikr, that's something different.

0:30:41.040,0:30:50.380
But to hold the tariqah is just something [br]immense. InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) help us all.[br]

0:30:50.380,0:30:57.112
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi[br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]

0:30:57.112,0:31:02.280
Sayyidi you mentioned the level of the heart – [br]Sir is important for the inner fight. Is this

0:31:02.280,0:31:10.320
why Sayyidina Mahdi (as) dresses this reality [br]and level as now is the time of the fight?[br]

0:31:10.320,0:31:20.680
InshaAllah, you have to get the book and then ask [br]the AI also, ‘What's the reality of the Sir?’ The

0:31:20.680,0:31:28.760
Sir is a red and represents struggle. Sayyidina [br]Umar al Farooq (as) and we described the reality

0:31:28.760,0:31:33.600
of the siwak (teeth cleaning twig) and the [br]struggling for the truth against falsehood. And

0:31:33.600,0:31:40.400
so everybody has a falsehood in their life, and [br]we have to destroy it and we have to live on the

0:31:40.400,0:31:47.280
reality of the truth. And the truth is the love [br]of Prophet ﷺ, follow what Prophet ﷺ brought for us

0:31:47.280,0:31:55.600
and leave what he forbid for us. And this becomes [br]a inner fight, a battle that's inside and outside.

0:31:55.600,0:32:01.360
You'll fight everybody inside, all the shaitans [br]within us that don't want to follow the way and

0:32:01.360,0:32:05.640
the sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad [br]ﷺ, and they give every reason possible and

0:32:05.640,0:32:13.880
every logic possible. And then the immense battle [br]outside that none of your family want to follow,

0:32:13.880,0:32:19.440
none of the friends want to follow, nobody around [br]wants to follow. And that's when we said it will

0:32:19.440,0:32:28.040
be like holding a hot coal will be like carrying [br]your religion because the religion is the way of

0:32:28.040,0:32:35.880
Prophet ﷺ, not the modification that people do [br]thinking ‘This is okay and that's all right.’[br]

0:32:35.880,0:32:41.680
And they logic and have logic with themselves [br]and Allah (AJ). But no, keeping the way of

0:32:41.680,0:32:49.040
Prophet ﷺ that is the fire and the coal, that [br]is what will be difficult because that’s the

0:32:49.040,0:32:56.640
key against the fire. Anyone who can hold a fire [br]in their hand well they must be pretty strong and

0:32:56.640,0:33:03.000
the rest will be taken by the fire because they [br]don't hold it, they don't keep it. And we said

0:33:03.000,0:33:12.160
before a thousand times: that Prophet ﷺ is the key [br]of protection. As much as if we in our life that

0:33:12.160,0:33:18.240
we can adhere to that reality, then we should [br]be dressed by his holy nazar, his satisfaction

0:33:18.240,0:33:23.960
and his rida, inshaAllah. That's the key to [br]love, is that you have to follow the one whom

0:33:23.960,0:33:40.040
you love. And you have to follow with respect and [br]admiration and the best of manners, inshaAllah.[br]

0:33:40.040,0:33:43.792
As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi[br]Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah[br]

0:33:43.792,0:33:48.320
Sayyidi as many of us have [br]non-Muslim family members,

0:33:48.320,0:33:55.160
during the holidays seems like the testing fire [br]increases where we also have to deal with foul

0:33:55.160,0:34:01.400
language and being made fun of by others, by our [br]family members but they still love us and care

0:34:01.400,0:34:12.120
for us. How should we respond and act?[br]What we just described like a hot coal. So

0:34:12.120,0:34:19.160
try to put a lollipop in your mouth so you don't [br]have to say anything and try to tolerate what you

0:34:19.160,0:34:27.720
can. And wherever it’s respectful and polite and [br]wherever the atmosphere is correct and respectful.

0:34:28.240,0:34:36.560
And anywhere that's beyond the level of respect [br]then politely bowing out. There's going to be

0:34:36.560,0:34:42.400
a lot of forbidden food and a lot of forbidden [br]items then you say, ‘It's not really good for me

0:34:42.400,0:34:49.800
and it's not good for my family to be around that [br]so we'll pass’. And if people are reasonable and

0:34:49.800,0:34:55.760
wish to accommodate then people accommodate. [br]So we try our best to do whatever we can for

0:34:55.760,0:34:59.560
the people whom are in the west, the people on [br]the East don't understand what we're talking

0:34:59.560,0:35:08.400
about but because you know, they're all in Muslim [br]countries. But in the west with people whom are

0:35:08.400,0:35:15.800
even Muslim background doing things and wanting to [br]have trees and wanting to do all sorts of things

0:35:15.800,0:35:24.360
to imitate a people and to imitate a way that's [br]not our way. So in these days, going to events,

0:35:24.360,0:35:29.280
trying to make sure that the events are halal [br](permissible) and clean and appropriate so that

0:35:29.280,0:35:35.320
Allah (AJ) won't be upset, Prophet ﷺ would not [br]be upset, it's probably more important than other

0:35:35.320,0:35:42.920
people being upset. And the imitation and taking [br]into one's homes items that are forbidden and not

0:35:42.920,0:35:48.640
a part of the deen (religion), I would imagine [br]that it's not a time to have Allah (AJ) upset

0:35:48.640,0:35:54.760
with us. So everyone has the right to use [br]their own judgment but in our judgment and

0:35:54.760,0:36:00.480
our understanding is we don't want Allah (AJ) [br]angry in days of difficulty. If you thought

0:36:00.480,0:36:05.920
you could do that before and then you'll just say [br]forgiveness and make tawbah (repentance), now is a

0:36:05.920,0:36:11.320
day in which you could wake up and there's no time [br]for forgiveness. An earthquake has come, a flood

0:36:11.320,0:36:16.680
has come, lightning has come. Towns go missing [br]with floods, there's all sorts of calamities

0:36:16.680,0:36:22.960
happening by Allah's (AJ) ghadab and anger. So [br]it's probably best time on earth right now is to

0:36:22.960,0:36:27.320
keep Allah (AJ) happy and to follow the shari’ah [br](Divine law), and to follow the way of Sayyidina

0:36:27.320,0:36:36.200
Muhammad ﷺ, in the east or in the west to the best [br]of our abilities, inshaAllah. This keeps us under

0:36:36.200,0:36:46.636
the umbrella of protection, inshaAllah.[br]As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi[br]

0:36:46.636,0:36:48.280
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah.[br]Sayyidi Allah (AJ) says He hears the

0:36:48.280,0:36:53.240
du'a (supplication) of the oppressed ones [br]most, and if we oppressed ourselves will

0:36:53.240,0:36:58.000
Allah (AJ) hear our du'as to be good [br]ones? Madad (support) ya Sayyidi.[br]

0:36:58.000,0:37:06.080
Yeah, He hears the du'a of your soul asking [br]for guidance and that to send a guide to get

0:37:06.080,0:37:13.560
rid of this guy's ego. So that's why we're [br]now all inspired to be sitting here. So,

0:37:13.560,0:37:20.560
Allah (AJ) accepted the du'a of the soul that, [br]‘Please don't let me to be oppressed by my

0:37:20.560,0:37:27.520
physicality.’ So, the opportunity that Allah [br](AJ) gave all of us to come to the tariqah,

0:37:27.520,0:37:33.800
to sit to listen to the tariqah, this is our [br]greatest battle. Now, are we going to follow it,

0:37:33.800,0:37:39.360
and are we going to follow our physicality, or [br]are we going to follow the inspiration of the

0:37:39.360,0:37:45.080
soul and the shaykhs? Because the soul [br]wants what the shaykh wants that - take

0:37:45.080,0:37:51.960
over this guy's physicality and control [br]it. So, anytime someone wants to know,

0:37:51.960,0:38:00.120
‘What does my soul want and what my [br]physicality wants?’ My physicality wants

0:38:00.120,0:38:10.600
recognition and wants to be correct. My soul wants [br]my physicality to be humiliated and brought down,

0:38:10.600,0:38:18.840
and my soul wants humility and humbleness and [br]wants to be a servant of the light. So these are

0:38:18.840,0:38:26.320
very different understandings and different wants. [br]Anytime you feel humiliated, your soul is happy,

0:38:26.320,0:38:34.200
and your physicality is very angry. Anytime [br]you feel not listened to, not respected,

0:38:34.200,0:38:42.400
your soul is very happy and your physicality is [br]very angered. And the reverse. So, it means that

0:38:42.400,0:38:49.760
the what the soul wants is something completely [br]different than what people understand. That's why

0:38:49.760,0:38:57.600
if you humble yourself without needing to be [br]humiliated, the soul is very happy with you.

0:38:57.600,0:39:03.480
And that's when your nafs (ego) is trying to learn [br]from your soul, because if you have a strong soul,

0:39:03.480,0:39:10.000
your zikr, your practices will keep pushing [br]it down, and the energy of your soul will burn

0:39:10.000,0:39:17.200
the nafs. So, you'll go places, and you will be [br]very humble because the soul has a strong power

0:39:17.200,0:39:24.720
to put your nafs down. Now is not the time to act [br]like something. Be nothing. Be humble, and people

0:39:24.720,0:39:30.680
feel comfortable with that. So, it's training [br]and the energy that they bring upon their soul

0:39:30.680,0:39:37.560
in which to be humble and people to be happy. And [br]there's a time in which they use their authority,

0:39:37.560,0:39:42.880
and there's a time in which to learn what the... [br]use what they've learned in humility and in the

0:39:42.880,0:39:53.805
way of Allah (AJ), inshaAllah.[br]As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi [br]

0:39:53.805,0:39:55.640
Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah[br]What is the spiritual benefit of

0:39:55.640,0:39:58.480
doing a lot of Khatm e Khwajagan (Zikr of [br]the Masters of the Naqshbandi Way) after

0:39:58.480,0:40:05.400
completing daily awrads (daily practices)? [br]I don't know what the spiritual benefit is

0:40:05.400,0:40:12.920
because it's not recommended to do lots of Khatm [br]e Khwajagans because… Don't do things that haven't

0:40:12.920,0:40:20.200
been authorized because it's an energy that people [br]can't handle, and it wasn't something authorized.

0:40:20.200,0:40:26.240
So, when they're given authorization that: do the [br]awrad, do the zikr, do the khatm and these are

0:40:26.240,0:40:33.440
in the prescription amount. So, if we say like, [br]‘Take this antibiotic because of your sickness,

0:40:33.440,0:40:39.840
one tablet three times a day.’ Can you take [br]three tablets three times a day? No, because

0:40:39.840,0:40:45.800
the toxicity of that medicine most likely will [br]put you in the hospital very quick. That which

0:40:45.800,0:40:54.000
was a healing for you became toxic for you because [br]you're not capable of handling that. So, sometimes

0:40:54.000,0:40:59.440
people may do zikrs beyond what was asked of [br]them, and all of a sudden, they start to sense

0:40:59.440,0:41:05.400
many different energies around them that Allah [br](AJ) veiled them. And as a result of that energy,

0:41:05.400,0:41:09.280
immediately they became anxious. Immediately, [br]they felt they were being attacked because if

0:41:09.280,0:41:16.200
you could see the amount of negative energy just [br]waiting to attack you, you would have a difficult

0:41:16.200,0:41:25.400
time functioning in life. But Allah (AJ) veils [br]us. When you unveil yourself at a not authorized

0:41:25.400,0:41:32.960
time and you're not at an authorized level, it's [br]like taking a video game, getting a cheat code,

0:41:32.960,0:41:40.880
and going up 10 levels. But you didn't progress [br]for those 10 levels. You don't have all the things

0:41:40.880,0:41:46.600
you were supposed to gain on each level. You just [br]went up 10 floors, and now you're dealing with

0:41:46.600,0:41:53.120
demons that are much more powerful and ready to [br]come after you. So unveiling oneself when they're

0:41:53.120,0:41:59.400
not ready to be unveiled, nor do they have the [br]tools to equip themself for that unveiling is

0:41:59.400,0:42:06.440
not allowed at all and not appropriate. That's [br]why we say, follow the tariqah way, follow what

0:42:06.440,0:42:13.280
the shaykh has given. Don't be anxious thinking, [br]‘I can take 10 of these pills, and I'll get there

0:42:13.280,0:42:20.440
faster.’ There is no fast way. The only way is to [br]connect with the shaykh, connect with the shaykh,

0:42:20.440,0:42:25.960
do the zikr that's been asked, and make your [br]connection. You start doing beyond that;

0:42:25.960,0:42:32.520
you start to hear and feel things and will have a [br]very difficult experiences, and it's difficult to

0:42:32.520,0:42:42.480
close those doors right away, inshaAllah.[br]Seems like many people are asking

0:42:42.480,0:42:46.440
AI questions. [br]The which one?[br]

0:42:46.440,0:42:49.160
Seems like many people are [br]asking the AI questions so…[br]

0:42:49.160,0:42:54.640
Oh yeah, questions that are appropriate for the [br]AI? Yes, you can please contact my associate at

0:42:54.640,0:43:01.480
Muhammadan Way, the little guy all the way at the [br]bottom. Click on him, and he answers things very

0:43:01.480,0:43:07.440
eloquently, very nice, mashAllah. Remember to put [br]a thumbs up if it was appropriate, the answer was

0:43:07.440,0:43:12.720
nice, the response was good, and if it was off [br]and didn't seem like it was missing something,

0:43:12.720,0:43:17.280
the guys need you to put the mark down. Don't [br]just because you don't like the answer, but

0:43:17.280,0:43:22.200
if the answer you don't think was like complete, [br]that way they can go back and formulate and find

0:43:22.200,0:43:27.120
out why it didn't answer or give the appropriate [br]response, inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) dress everyone,

0:43:27.120,0:43:44.614
bless everyone, and Jum’ah (Friday) [br]Mubarak to everyone inshaAllah.[br]

0:43:44.614,0:43:44.675
Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa [br]wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha.[br]

0:43:44.675,0:43:47.080
Barakah shafa’at ya Rasulul Kareem, ameen.[br]Anybody have a question, give me like a

0:43:47.080,0:43:57.040
good basic question; Junaid open up the AI and [br]let’s see what it… and he’ll read the response.

0:44:04.800,0:44:24.320
‘How best to serve the Shaykh?’[br]Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of

0:44:24.320,0:44:35.080
Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q)…. too, [br]too much writing here. It's still writing

0:44:35.080,0:44:46.800
Sayyidi, one second.[br]It's still going?[br]

0:44:46.800,0:44:48.680
It’s okay, it’s done.[br]Alhamdulillah, from the teachings

0:44:48.680,0:44:52.560
of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q), serving [br]the shaykh is a noble and significant aspect of

0:44:52.560,0:44:57.360
spiritual growth and Sufism. The shaykh represents [br]a link to the Divine presence and to Sayyidina

0:44:57.360,0:45:03.760
Muhammad ﷺ. Thus, serving him is a means to [br]draw near to Allah (AJ) and embody the prophetic

0:45:03.760,0:45:09.080
character. To serve the shaykh one should:[br]1. Follow guidance – adhere to the teachings

0:45:09.080,0:45:13.720
and guidance provided by the shaykh. Implement [br]his advice in your daily life and strive to

0:45:13.720,0:45:19.440
embody the characteristics of good manners, [br]patience, humility, and sincerity that are

0:45:19.440,0:45:24.000
taught within tariqah (spiritual path). [br]2. Support – Offer support to the shaykh's

0:45:24.000,0:45:28.720
mission by participating in events, spreading [br]the knowledge you have gained responsibly,

0:45:28.720,0:45:32.360
and contributing through service [br]and financial means if possible.[br]

0:45:32.360,0:45:37.000
3. Maintain adab (manners) - respect. [br]Show utmost respect towards the shaykh

0:45:37.000,0:45:42.360
by observing proper Islamic etiquette. This [br]includes being polite, not demanding his time

0:45:42.360,0:45:47.520
unnecessarily, and understanding that he has [br]responsibility towards all his students.[br]

0:45:47.520,0:45:52.320
4. Keep connection – stay connected with the [br]teachings of the shaykh through regular attendance

0:45:52.320,0:45:57.640
of suhbah (discourse), gathering for spiritual [br]talks, participating in zikr circles if available,

0:45:57.640,0:46:03.400
reading articles or books written by or about [br]him, and watching videos of his lectures.[br]

0:46:03.400,0:46:09.600
5. Seek permission for services – before [br]engaging in any activity on behalf of the

0:46:09.600,0:46:16.480
shaykh or using his content for any purpose, [br]seek explicit permission from him or through

0:46:16.480,0:46:21.640
established channels within tariqah.[br]6. Financial support – if you are moved

0:46:21.640,0:46:26.400
to offer financial assistance without [br]any feeling of regret or obligation,

0:46:26.400,0:46:31.520
but purely out of love and sincerity after [br]reaching a state of spiritual maturity, this

0:46:31.520,0:46:36.600
may be accepted as it aligns with the prophetic [br]tradition where companions offered their wealth

0:46:36.600,0:46:41.920
sincerely after reaching a state of perfection.[br]Remember that true service is not just about

0:46:41.920,0:46:47.480
physical actions but also about purifying [br]one's intentions for Allah’s (AJ) sake and

0:46:47.480,0:46:52.440
seeking His pleasure through your efforts. [br]Service to others is highly regarded as well;

0:46:52.440,0:46:57.120
helping those in need can often be more [br]valuable than personal acts of worship.[br]

0:46:57.120,0:47:02.760
