1 00:00:09,333 --> 00:00:15,209 “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir  Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” 2 00:00:15,209 --> 00:00:20,080 “Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.” And always a reminder for 3 00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:25,040 myself ana abdukal 'ajeezu, dayeefu,  miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, and but for 4 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,960 the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are  still in existence. Alhamdulillah 5 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:39,400 for all the khidmat (service). That alhamdulillah  everyone putting out nice AI videos, images, 6 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:46,200 and cutting up the longer videos, putting  out reels. InshaAllah Allah (AJ)... Also, 7 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:52,200 people translating to Spanish, to other  languages. Allah (AJ) give everybody immense 8 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,560 blessings and himmah (zeal) to do more. Our food  collection, mashAllah, immense amounts of food 9 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,280 being collected. Our video productions, in-house  productions, the zikrs (Divine remembrance), the 10 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,200 majlis (association), the center. Alhamdulillah  for everyone's life of service and their immense 11 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:16,640 love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ shows by  the khidmat and the service. InshaAllah, 12 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,280 the food distributions, the orphanage  support, the qurbani (sacrifice) programs, 13 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,800 the water well programs, and distributing food  in Kenya. Hopefully now in Nigeria there's 14 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:36,400 a Naqshbandi out there that will start putting  out food and qurbans. In Pakistan and Vancouver, 15 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:41,800 Los Angeles, Chicago. So, alhamdulillah,  everywhere, wherever we can go and wherever 16 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:50,080 there's students whom are willing to participate.  All it takes is a… somebody with a bit of himmah 17 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:57,360 or zeal within their heart to want to serve, want  to participate, and the rest Allah (AJ) opens. We 18 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:03,480 pray that Allah (AJ) inspire their hearts to  send us more people who want to participate 19 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,240 and have the zeal - the himmah in which to  participate and receive the nazar (gaze) of 20 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:25,911 Prophet ﷺ and alhamdulillah, inshaAllah. Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa 21 00:02:25,911 --> 00:02:25,988 wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha. Ya shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem 22 00:02:25,988 --> 00:02:27,160 (The Most Generous Messenger). Ameen! InshaAllah, what we have from last 23 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,000 week? InshaAllah we'll go over some of the things  we have from last week. Anybody... comments from 24 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:41,440 the talks, we can get where people are on these,  inshaAllah, so we don't have to keep opening 25 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:52,878 new subjects and we can go over some of the  subjects that we've talked about, inshaAllah. 26 00:02:52,878 --> 00:02:56,720 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 27 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:05,840 And please, everybody, do go to the Muhammadan Way  website and keep playing with the AI. Keep asking 28 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,600 the AI the questions and ‘what is the awrad’  (daily awrad), ‘what is Naqshbandiya,’ ‘what is 29 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,480 the muraqabah’ (spiritual connection). Whatever  you think you want to ask, ask the AI. If the 30 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:22,160 answer was good, give thumbs up. If the answer was  you think off and missing some essential facts, 31 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,760 put the thumb down so that they can monitor and  begin to tweak the AI because this is all custom 32 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:35,640 and in-house for us. It'll go off of ChatGPT  and we'll be running on our own servers. So, 33 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:41,760 the more input we have, then the more the guys who  are monitoring can understand where the answer is, 34 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,400 how to tweak it, and how to make it more  appropriate or if something was inappropriate, 35 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,320 inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) bless everyone  and dress everyone and try your best 36 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:55,440 to use it and spread for people to use it  because it's truly amazing. Pretty soon, 37 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,840 it'll be answering the emails and correspondence,  everything because it gives a much better reply 38 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:09,000 because it has also the AI for English, letter  writing, it has a very eloquent skill of 39 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,400 putting knowledges into an information back to  somebody. So, alhamdulillah, very good. Sorry, 40 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:25,164 what was the question? As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi. 41 00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:27,880 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Could you please expand on the strong-tied 42 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:34,000 analogy you used that could possibly take  a student away or cause difficulties on 43 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:42,280 their path? Also, the benefits of learning  how to swim spiritually and physically. 44 00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:53,000 How to increase your tie to the shaykh? That's  what we asked the AI, and I posted the reply. 45 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,680 That, ‘How can I serve the Shaykh better?’  Go to Nurmuhammad, go to our AI, and say, 46 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:07,320 ‘How can I best serve the Shaykh?’ And then  you’ll get a wonderful reply, that better than 47 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:12,960 how we would reply, and the English skills from  our people, but it comprise it very nicely in 48 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:20,320 paragraphs. That ‘Do like this, do like this, do  like this’. And I encourage people to go to the AI 49 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:26,160 and actually ask that ‘how to increase the ties,’  and it listed that everything that we've talked 50 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:35,200 about is that do all of the services and practices  that the shaykh has asked. So I don't really think 51 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:45,480 if somebody is truly, truly doing what has been  taught that they would have any doubt of their 52 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:51,960 connection and the strength of their connection.  But it's when we leave things, and we truly don't 53 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:59,960 listen because we have ears but it's sometimes  difficult for people to hear, and it's important 54 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:05,880 to go back to everything that's been taught.  That we do the charity. Why? So that our hearts 55 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:14,320 are open and that we have a charitable, humble  character. We live a life of service, wanting to 56 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:22,160 serve others and improve the conditions of others  while we want to improve our own conditions. Then 57 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,400 we do our meditation, our muraqabah, all our  practices that the shaykh has asked. Why? So 58 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:35,760 that we have our spiritual connection. So, body,  mind, and soul must be connected to the way. So 59 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,360 how do you connect the body and it has reference  to parts of the soul – Is by your charitable acts. 60 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:48,240 How do you tame the physical body? By putting your  time into it, putting your effort into practices, 61 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:54,320 going out and doing charities. Although it dresses  the soul, but it has a very strong discipline upon 62 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:01,800 the physicality. When you've committed yourself  and charity is like a tuition into a Divinely 63 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,160 university. If you were the one paying your  tuitions, not your dad, and you pay your tuition, 64 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:15,080 you pay your tuition, the likelihood of you  showing up to your classes is very high. When 65 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,800 someone else pays your tuition, you don't really  care about the classes because you didn't pay 66 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:27,520 for them. You didn't have anything in it to be  worried about. If you worked and from that work 67 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:33,280 you paid for your courses, you're the first one  to show up in the class. There's no difference 68 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:39,360 in Allah's (AJ) way. That when we have some skin  in the game, when we have our own participation 69 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,520 in the game, when we do our charity, we do our  service. Oh, you know how many times we went out 70 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,800 and fed, and how many times we did this and how  many times we did that. You're tied into that 71 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:56,560 system. You're not likely to bounce around and  bounce out of it unless you're willing to restart 72 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:03,720 that whole system somewhere else. And most people  after a few years of serving and giving and doing, 73 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:10,400 that's it, you know, they put the nail on their…  on the rope, and they're tied to the shaykh, 74 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,480 tied to the way, tied to the tariqah (spiritual  path), and that's what we're trying to do is teach 75 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:22,240 people: tie yourself to the tariqah, tie yourself  to the love of Prophet ﷺ. How? By following the 76 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:29,920 tariqahs. You can't say, ‘I'm just going to  follow and love the Prophet by myself ﷺ.’ Very 77 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:37,800 difficult. The overwhelming tide of people do not  talk like that nor think like that. So you start 78 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,680 to try to watch other people's TikToks, social  medias, and YouTubes, and the last thing they talk 79 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:52,080 about is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. They even, even  give reference to Hadith and Qur'an and they lie, 80 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:58,080 and it wasn't true. And you go back and say,  ‘This is not true at all.’ When someone said, 81 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,600 ‘lower your gaze, and the gaze was only for the  men to lower their gaze,’ it was a lie. The Qur'an 82 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:11,320 actually asked women ‘Lower their gaze,’ but  that person who said that was lying. So they 83 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,760 don't even have a problem about lying of Qur'an  and Hadith because they'll reference everything 84 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:23,760 according to themself and their understandings.  So tariqah is a path to the heart of Prophet 85 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:30,640 ﷺ. So to keep on the tariqah, keep on the  way, support the tariqah, support the way, 86 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:36,920 support your relationship with the shaykh  it ties you to the reality. It doesn't tie 87 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,760 the shaykh because the shaykh is already tied to  Prophet ﷺ and to his shaykhs because that's what 88 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:47,640 he did all his life. So you're not untying the  shaykh if you don't support, and you're going to 89 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,880 make them to lose their mission. No, no, Allah  (AJ) will exchange people for better people, 90 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,960 so the mission's never lost. It's mission  impossible. It's always in the heart of Prophet ﷺ, 91 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,040 but Allah (AJ) will exchange us for a better  person. If I don't do what Allah (AJ) asked of me, 92 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:11,760 no problem, one better will come and do a better  job of what I should have been doing. So the life 93 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:19,320 is of service. So all of these bind the student.  Then, if they're truly binded and they’re truly 94 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,960 bound, then you think that they would sit and  make their muraqabah, make their connection. 95 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,960 They paid for it with their blood, their sweat,  and their tears. So why aren't they trying to get 96 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:36,480 their treasures? So that's the key to tariqah. If  we don't do any of that and we just want to know, 97 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:44,240 like, ‘How can I increase my connection’,  it's not going to be fast. But I recommend 98 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,080 people to use the AI at the website. And  alhamdulillah, very eloquent responses and 99 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:58,756 very thorough, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. 100 00:10:58,756 --> 00:11:01,480 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is 101 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:06,680 the Catalyst during tafakkur (contemplation).  Does ghadab (anger) come as a catalyst when 102 00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:13,880 we are heedless and not staying in  hudur (presence) of our shaykhs? 103 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:23,875 Yeah, the... we have the fire of Nimrod.  The talk about the fire, “Qulna ya naaru, 104 00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:25,400 kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.” Then this is the story of Sayyidina 105 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,440 Ibrahim (as) being cast into a fire  because everyone's going to follow the way 106 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:37,760 of the Prophets (as). So this is what the story  and these qissah, these realities of the lives of 107 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,480 the Prophets (as) is that we have to walk through  them. So when Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) comes to 108 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:48,280 us in this station, and when you study the  levels of the heart, when he's coming into 109 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:53,972 the Qalb (heart), the Sir (secret), the Sirr  e Sir (secret of the secret) Sayyidina Ibrahim 110 00:11:53,972 --> 00:11:58,320 (as) wa Sayyidina Musa (as) and opening the  realities of the kingdom of light, he's coming 111 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,520 and teaching that: you have to overcome  fire. This fire that comes into your life, 112 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:12,000 you have to make it to be cool and peaceful. And  in your abode, the whole dunya (material world) is 113 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,480 Nimrod. That's why we call the ‘Fir’aunic  bloodline.’ They rule this Earth, and it's in 114 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:25,480 Qur'an that they rule the earth because these are  the people of Nimrod. These are the people of the 115 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:31,840 Fir’auns (pharaohs), these are the descendants  that rule the earth till today. And because of 116 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:41,360 their allegiance with shaitan (satan), their game  is to make people angry and ignorant. That when we 117 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:54,360 described in other talks, ignorance—it amplifies  anger. Wise people shouldn't be angry; ignorant 118 00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:03,320 people are always angry. You see them ranting  and raving on social media, yelling, screaming, 119 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,920 yelling, screaming, yelling, screaming, because  they're ignorant. But wise people, they don't talk 120 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:16,560 like that, they don't even think like that. And  as a result of these knowledges, their behaviors 121 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:29,120 are different, and the reality is different for  them, inshaAllah. What were we talking about? 122 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,760 What was the question? [Shaykh laughs] Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is 123 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:41,800 the catalyst during tafakkur… The fire, the fire, yeah. That how 124 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:52,144 to control the fire from anger and then bring  that fire once it's stable “Qulna ya naaru, 125 00:13:52,144 --> 00:13:56,360 kunee Bardan wa Salaman” to be “bardan wa  salaam” means the presence of Prophet ﷺ. 126 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,040 So with the salawats (praises upon Prophet  ﷺ Muhammad ﷺ) and the Hudur an Nabi ﷺ – the 127 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:10,120 presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that fire comes  under control and it becomes, and should become, 128 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:16,280 something cool and peaceful. When something's  cool and peaceful, it means you have a control 129 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:22,600 over the fire. The fire becomes the zeal in  which you want to operate; you want to conquer; 130 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:29,160 you want to go out and spread the word; you want  to do the good deeds; you want Prophet ﷺ to be 131 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:37,320 happy with us. If it's not under control, it's  like a volcano just trying to burn everybody, 132 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:45,360 and the zeal becomes anger, and the anger just  becomes the scorching and hurting of people. So 133 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:53,680 this is an essential station on the Sirr e Sir on  how to use the faculty of closeness, of hearing 134 00:14:53,680 --> 00:15:00,560 and seeing to open up these realities of lights  with the salawats and the light of Prophet ﷺ, 135 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:08,600 the presence of the Muhammadan fire and not  satanic fire. The Muhammadan fire in which is a 136 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:16,280 blessed light, and that requires then the salawats  so that you can draw near to the Muhammadan fire. 137 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:23,120 Without that, the fiery nature of people will be  satanic, because everybody's going to have a fire; 138 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,960 it's an element within them. If you don't  do the salawats, the fire becomes satanic, 139 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,600 and they do, you know... they can even be and  say that they're spiritual, but they have a 140 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:40,640 strong satanic energy. And if they should get  angry or something not the way they want it, 141 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:46,360 they explode, and that's when the wildness of  their beast that we talked about. So yeah, that 142 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:56,620 fire is the love of Prophet ﷺ. The only way to  take the light of TaSeen ﷺ is by the salawat and 143 00:15:56,620 --> 00:16:03,354 durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ),  inshaAllah on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah. 144 00:16:03,354 --> 00:16:08,400 As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 145 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:14,960 Is it ever possible for the actions of the form  to alter the standing in the world of light, 146 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:23,160 or do our actions only reveal and unlock  what we already have been given? 147 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,920 What's the difference in that? How do you know  what you've been given and what you're altering, 148 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:39,560 because you don't know what you've been given?  I would say it's the same. If I don't know what 149 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,280 Allah (AJ) is giving to me, all my concern  should be, again because we're not philosophy 150 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:50,960 students here, all my concern in life should be  is that my form has to submit and do the Will of 151 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:56,360 Allah (AJ) for His kingdom is in my heart, and  I want to put His kingdom in my heart. Then, 152 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,920 my life is to submit. If I submit, I try to  use my form for the hasanat (goodness) of 153 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,640 my dunya. So that I have the goodness  of my life that I'll build and use my 154 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,400 life to build my akhirah (hereafter).  I do good, I speak good, I act good, 155 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:21,800 and I should see good. What Allah (AJ) gives to  me, it doesn't matter if it’s… was decreed for me, 156 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:27,360 newly decreed for me or anciently decreed for me.  That doesn't matter because Allah (AJ) will give 157 00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:37,360 what He wants to give. But the most important  is to make my physicality to serve. The time I 158 00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:44,880 have... “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya  wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin”. ‘And did 159 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,680 you think you would not be tested like  those who came before you with your life, 160 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:57,280 your family, your property, your wealth, your...’  everything will be tested by Allah (AJ). 161 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:03,440 So, alhamdulillah, we put all of that so that  we can reach our perfection, inshaAllah. And 162 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:12,000 there's not too much time left, so these days are  immensely important and to learn the understanding 163 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,720 of service, khidmat and how to draw near to the  shaykh, how to draw near to the Hudur e Shaykh and 164 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:24,000 the presence of the shaykhs, so that we can  move closer to the presence of Sayyidina 165 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:36,520 Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum, 166 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 167 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,200 Sayyidi, regarding the levels of the heart, does  the slave move from one level from the other in 168 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:52,440 the exact order, or does he move to specific  levels according to his specific conditions? 169 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:58,400 No, it's just an opening at all time. It's not  necessarily one, then the next, then the next. 170 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:08,200 It's a general opening of all realities,  but one fully doesn't elevate until the 171 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:13,600 lower levels are understood and opened.  And they can only be open by a strong 172 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:19,400 connection with the shaykh. It's the faiz  (downpouring blessings) of the shaykh that 173 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:24,880 the connection opens those realities. For the  Qalb to open, they have to have a very strong 174 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,520 connection with the shaykhs. It's the knowledge  of this, Ilm ul Yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty) 175 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,360 so that they studied these subjects. Ayn ul Yaqeen  (Vision of Certainty) means that they entered 176 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:42,000 into the subject with the eye of their heart and  they're witnessing that light entering into their 177 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,520 heart. They witness the realities that the shaykh  has read about, that wrote about, and they begin 178 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:55,400 to witness those realities so that it becomes Haqq  ul Yaqeen (Certainty of Truth). So, they have to 179 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:05,240 open up the Qalb which is knowledge, they have to  open up the Sir which is red, and the inner fight. 180 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:12,560 So, if you had and a strong inner fight, you must  have a very strong connection with the shaykh 181 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:19,360 because you're willing to push off the demon that  sits upon the heart and allow the shaykh to sit 182 00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:26,760 upon the heart. So, that's why at the Sir is a  big battle where Sayyidina Umar al-Farooq comes 183 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:33,160 to help ‘alayhis salaam that “Qul jaa alhaqq”. That if you're standing for truth, get rid of that 184 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:40,680 falsehood within you and around you. So, all of  these are you know self-evident. We seek a path 185 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:47,920 towards knowledge is the Qalb, so that we become  students of knowledge. So, your greatest weapon is 186 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:55,440 a pen, to write knowledges, understand knowledges.  Those knowledges have to be written onto my book. 187 00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,920 I'm not a spectator just hearing knowledges. I  want to write the knowledges so I can transfer 188 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:08,320 them onto my kitab (book). Once they're on  my kitab, I'm dressed with those knowledges. 189 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:13,520 Then I begin to close my eyes, meditate into  these knowledges so they become a real and a 190 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:19,800 haq (truth) for me. As I'm being dressed by  these knowledges, then now you are traversing 191 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:25,880 these oceans of light into these realities, into  these oceans of realities. You'll be dressed with 192 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,960 the Sir, and then all the knowledges within the  Sir begin to dress the servant. And from the Sir, 193 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:38,000 they go to the passing through the Akhfa (most  hidden) and the realities of death until they can 194 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:45,400 enter into the world of light. Because if you  study the diagram that from the Sir, you have 195 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:53,800 to pass through the black hole, the black Akhfa  reality, which is death. Everything has to die, 196 00:21:53,800 --> 00:22:02,182 for you to die to reach to the world of light -  Alam al Mithal and the world of light and malakut 197 00:22:02,182 --> 00:22:08,080 (heavenly realm). That's why everything in its  key is based on tafakkur and how to contemplate, 198 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,440 how to connect with the contemplation. And as a  result of contemplating, then you would understand 199 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:23,320 that your connection with the shaykh is extremely  important and how to serve and a khidmat towards 200 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:28,520 the shaykh, inshaAllah. As 201 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,071 salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 202 00:22:37,071 --> 00:22:42,560 Sayyidi, you had mentioned about smart contracts  and that if you take even one letter from someone, 203 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:51,080 you owe your life. Now, what if a person is taking  from five different shaykhs, what happens? 204 00:22:51,080 --> 00:23:00,480 Five different shaykhs, you can’t take from five  different shaykhs. So, they take knowledges but 205 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:09,816 they're not truly entering the contract with  the knowledge. So it's a difference. Your… 206 00:23:09,816 --> 00:23:15,880 And especially if they’re tariqah shaykhs, it’s  very difficult to understand their knowledges, 207 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:24,040 make your connection and connect your heart and  connect to their wallet and the conveyance of 208 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:31,480 their coin into your heart. It's like you playing  on a website thinking you have a whole bunch of 209 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:38,000 Bitcoins. You don't have the coins; you may even  have spam coins where somebody send something 210 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:44,080 to you thinking you got a Bitcoin. It's not  that easy to get the shaykh’s coins. It means 211 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:51,240 you connected. When you sought the connection;  you felt the faiz. When you felt the faiz, the 212 00:23:51,240 --> 00:24:02,080 downloading poured into the heart. We've met many  people in this luminous path of ours in 35 years, 213 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:11,160 people saying like ridiculously clowny statements  that, ‘I hold five tariqahs.’ And they tell us, 214 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:16,840 ‘You know, Naqshbandi I hold five tariqahs’. Say,  ‘What kind of a clown is this? How could you talk 215 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:24,480 like that?’ You can't even hold the one tariqah;  not even one tariqah can be held. Its amanat and 216 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:32,480 its trust; its responsibility of how it's holding  mankind and their sicknesses kill the shaykhs, 217 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,200 you're talking about you holding five  tariqahs? These are the times we live 218 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:45,000 in when ‘They take the religion as a jest’  Allah (AJ) talks about, like a ‘Playing.’ 219 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,920 They say these ridiculous, playful statements  as if… what are you talking about? Not even 220 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:57,634 one tariqah can be held. All the tariqahs now are  in the hands of Imam Mahdi (as) and Sayyidina Ali 221 00:24:57,634 --> 00:25:04,440 (as). Not one of them can be held. How you hold  five tariqahs? And the person doesn't even do 222 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:11,680 muraqabah and connect. It doesn't work that  way. And when you connect with your shaykh, 223 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,440 when connected with our shaykh, connected with  our shaykh, connected with our shaykh, immense 224 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:24,680 amount of testing, immense amounts of humiliation,  immense amounts of demolishing and effacing. Onto 225 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:33,800 a day in which your heart was smashed and Allah  (AJ) rebuilt, and as a result of the rebuild, 226 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:42,520 the faiz and the flow of knowledges began. That's  not something you can go around with five people 227 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:51,120 and do because the other four will say, ‘What  kind of a adulterer are you? That what you do, 228 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:58,240 took from this shaykh, and now you want to  come and take ours?’ It’s considered adultery. 229 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:07,560 So, no, it doesn't work that way. So, the loyalty  is to their life and death with the shaykh. He 230 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,920 passes, then he represents that reality that the  shaykh dressed him for. If he didn't reach that 231 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:21,080 trust and he didn't reach his trust, then he will  be transferred over to a shaykh that can complete 232 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:27,960 him, and he'll now connect with his shaykh and  the new shaykh and now again start the process of 233 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:35,680 what the shaykh wants as a criteria of loyalty and  training, and then to be completed in the process 234 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:42,160 of their annihilation and the process of the  downpouring and downloading within the heart. So, 235 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:49,960 it's not something easy, and it's not something  that's playful - it comes and goes. That's why 236 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:57,960 we gave the talks on the technology. You know how  difficult it is to get this coin? It doesn't don’t 237 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:04,440 come like that. You actually have to give your  code. See the code of the sending wallet, match 238 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:10,960 the code with your receiving wallet, sync them  to make sure that you have the correct receiving 239 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:20,880 wallet, and then this encryption will come, the  transfer will begin, and it's written on a ledger. 240 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:26,360 It's written somewhere. Allah (AJ) is the best  of those to keep hisaab (account). So, what kind 241 00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:34,800 of a reality is that, that you're going to try to  connect with a shaykh, he's like the Bitcoin mine. 242 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:43,600 You're trying to get coins and realities from his  heart. They're going to investigate your code and 243 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:52,880 the wallet within your heart – Is it capable of  receiving this coin. That has to be downloaded, 244 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:59,360 the permission in the heart has to be given  by Allah (AJ), by Prophet ﷺ, ‘His heart - his 245 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:05,880 wallet is capable of receiving the coins you  want to send’. Otherwise, he doesn't even have 246 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:11,160 the code. You know, if you try to download hex  or some other type of code into your wallet, 247 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:17,120 for our tech guys who are listening, if it's not  there in the receiving wallet, you can't take the 248 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:24,960 code because the code will be sent to somebody who  can't receive the coin. All of those are signs of 249 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,880 Allah's (AJ) immense technologies. Allah (AJ)  will look to the heart of the receiving servant 250 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:37,600 and said, ‘No, that that is not even capable  of receiving these knowledges. There is no coin 251 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:44,720 ready for them.’ And if it is ready, then their  encryption has to match the shaykh's encryption, 252 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,920 and then begins the faiz with all their testing,  with all their loyalty, all their commitment, 253 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,120 everything they've done and asked that the  shaykh has asked and they did of their service, 254 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:02,120 their life, their dedication, then these coins  begin to download. And they keep checking them 255 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:10,760 downloading, downloading. And a greater possession  where the shaykh keeps the custody wallet. So, 256 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,080 now with these technologies, we're understanding  where Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say that whatever 257 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:22,120 we downloaded to you, we're keeping the custody of  it in case one day shaitan plays with you because 258 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:28,200 you're not perfected yet, plays with you, makes  you lose your mind, and you think you're running 259 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:36,160 away with these jewels. So now in technology, they  have the custodian. Even when I transfer to you, 260 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:42,640 I keep the custody of the wallet. Why? Because  anytime I can lock it and hold it back. Or at the 261 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,680 same time, you can say, 'I lost it. Now what do I  do?' Well, if I have the custody of your wallet, 262 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:54,800 I can say, 'Oh, we'll give you access again.' So  these technologies are immense in showing Divine 263 00:29:54,800 --> 00:30:02,760 realities, and it's just a tip of the Divine  coding on how difficult it is to achieve in 264 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:07,960 Allah's (AJ) way. So nobody can say that they're  holding five tariqahs, 'I hold this, I hold 265 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:14,760 that.' It's not given away like you know cracker  jack box and candy and carnival toys. These are 266 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:21,240 things that are the trust of the entire created  universe, these realities, and just to achieve 267 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:28,920 some sense of reality from it is an immense  achievement than anyone could ever possibly 268 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:35,480 say they hold the tariqah. That, that is in the  hands of Imam Mahdi (as) because the burden of 269 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:41,040 it is too heavy and too high. If they have ijazah  (permission) for zikr, that's something different. 270 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:50,380 But to hold the tariqah is just something  immense. InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) help us all. 271 00:30:50,380 --> 00:30:57,112 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 272 00:30:57,112 --> 00:31:02,280 Sayyidi you mentioned the level of the heart –  Sir is important for the inner fight. Is this 273 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:10,320 why Sayyidina Mahdi (as) dresses this reality  and level as now is the time of the fight? 274 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:20,680 InshaAllah, you have to get the book and then ask  the AI also, ‘What's the reality of the Sir?’ The 275 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:28,760 Sir is a red and represents struggle. Sayyidina  Umar al Farooq (as) and we described the reality 276 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:33,600 of the siwak (teeth cleaning twig) and the  struggling for the truth against falsehood. And 277 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:40,400 so everybody has a falsehood in their life, and  we have to destroy it and we have to live on the 278 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:47,280 reality of the truth. And the truth is the love  of Prophet ﷺ, follow what Prophet ﷺ brought for us 279 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:55,600 and leave what he forbid for us. And this becomes  a inner fight, a battle that's inside and outside. 280 00:31:55,600 --> 00:32:01,360 You'll fight everybody inside, all the shaitans  within us that don't want to follow the way and 281 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,640 the sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad  ﷺ, and they give every reason possible and 282 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:13,880 every logic possible. And then the immense battle  outside that none of your family want to follow, 283 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:19,440 none of the friends want to follow, nobody around  wants to follow. And that's when we said it will 284 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:28,040 be like holding a hot coal will be like carrying  your religion because the religion is the way of 285 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:35,880 Prophet ﷺ, not the modification that people do  thinking ‘This is okay and that's all right.’ 286 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:41,680 And they logic and have logic with themselves  and Allah (AJ). But no, keeping the way of 287 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:49,040 Prophet ﷺ that is the fire and the coal, that  is what will be difficult because that’s the 288 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:56,640 key against the fire. Anyone who can hold a fire  in their hand well they must be pretty strong and 289 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:03,000 the rest will be taken by the fire because they  don't hold it, they don't keep it. And we said 290 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:12,160 before a thousand times: that Prophet ﷺ is the key  of protection. As much as if we in our life that 291 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:18,240 we can adhere to that reality, then we should  be dressed by his holy nazar, his satisfaction 292 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,960 and his rida, inshaAllah. That's the key to  love, is that you have to follow the one whom 293 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:40,040 you love. And you have to follow with respect and  admiration and the best of manners, inshaAllah. 294 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,792 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 295 00:33:43,792 --> 00:33:48,320 Sayyidi as many of us have  non-Muslim family members, 296 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:55,160 during the holidays seems like the testing fire  increases where we also have to deal with foul 297 00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:01,400 language and being made fun of by others, by our  family members but they still love us and care 298 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:12,120 for us. How should we respond and act? What we just described like a hot coal. So 299 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:19,160 try to put a lollipop in your mouth so you don't  have to say anything and try to tolerate what you 300 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:27,720 can. And wherever it’s respectful and polite and  wherever the atmosphere is correct and respectful. 301 00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:36,560 And anywhere that's beyond the level of respect  then politely bowing out. There's going to be 302 00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:42,400 a lot of forbidden food and a lot of forbidden  items then you say, ‘It's not really good for me 303 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:49,800 and it's not good for my family to be around that  so we'll pass’. And if people are reasonable and 304 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:55,760 wish to accommodate then people accommodate.  So we try our best to do whatever we can for 305 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,560 the people whom are in the west, the people on  the East don't understand what we're talking 306 00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:08,400 about but because you know, they're all in Muslim  countries. But in the west with people whom are 307 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:15,800 even Muslim background doing things and wanting to  have trees and wanting to do all sorts of things 308 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:24,360 to imitate a people and to imitate a way that's  not our way. So in these days, going to events, 309 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:29,280 trying to make sure that the events are halal  (permissible) and clean and appropriate so that 310 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:35,320 Allah (AJ) won't be upset, Prophet ﷺ would not  be upset, it's probably more important than other 311 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:42,920 people being upset. And the imitation and taking  into one's homes items that are forbidden and not 312 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:48,640 a part of the deen (religion), I would imagine  that it's not a time to have Allah (AJ) upset 313 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:54,760 with us. So everyone has the right to use  their own judgment but in our judgment and 314 00:35:54,760 --> 00:36:00,480 our understanding is we don't want Allah (AJ)  angry in days of difficulty. If you thought 315 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,920 you could do that before and then you'll just say  forgiveness and make tawbah (repentance), now is a 316 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:11,320 day in which you could wake up and there's no time  for forgiveness. An earthquake has come, a flood 317 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,680 has come, lightning has come. Towns go missing  with floods, there's all sorts of calamities 318 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:22,960 happening by Allah's (AJ) ghadab and anger. So  it's probably best time on earth right now is to 319 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:27,320 keep Allah (AJ) happy and to follow the shari’ah  (Divine law), and to follow the way of Sayyidina 320 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:36,200 Muhammad ﷺ, in the east or in the west to the best  of our abilities, inshaAllah. This keeps us under 321 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:46,636 the umbrella of protection, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi 322 00:36:46,636 --> 00:36:48,280 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi Allah (AJ) says He hears the 323 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:53,240 du'a (supplication) of the oppressed ones  most, and if we oppressed ourselves will 324 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:58,000 Allah (AJ) hear our du'as to be good  ones? Madad (support) ya Sayyidi. 325 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:06,080 Yeah, He hears the du'a of your soul asking  for guidance and that to send a guide to get 326 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:13,560 rid of this guy's ego. So that's why we're  now all inspired to be sitting here. So, 327 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:20,560 Allah (AJ) accepted the du'a of the soul that,  ‘Please don't let me to be oppressed by my 328 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:27,520 physicality.’ So, the opportunity that Allah  (AJ) gave all of us to come to the tariqah, 329 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:33,800 to sit to listen to the tariqah, this is our  greatest battle. Now, are we going to follow it, 330 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:39,360 and are we going to follow our physicality, or  are we going to follow the inspiration of the 331 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:45,080 soul and the shaykhs? Because the soul  wants what the shaykh wants that - take 332 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:51,960 over this guy's physicality and control  it. So, anytime someone wants to know, 333 00:37:51,960 --> 00:38:00,120 ‘What does my soul want and what my  physicality wants?’ My physicality wants 334 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:10,600 recognition and wants to be correct. My soul wants  my physicality to be humiliated and brought down, 335 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:18,840 and my soul wants humility and humbleness and  wants to be a servant of the light. So these are 336 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:26,320 very different understandings and different wants.  Anytime you feel humiliated, your soul is happy, 337 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:34,200 and your physicality is very angry. Anytime  you feel not listened to, not respected, 338 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:42,400 your soul is very happy and your physicality is  very angered. And the reverse. So, it means that 339 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:49,760 the what the soul wants is something completely  different than what people understand. That's why 340 00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:57,600 if you humble yourself without needing to be  humiliated, the soul is very happy with you. 341 00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:03,480 And that's when your nafs (ego) is trying to learn  from your soul, because if you have a strong soul, 342 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:10,000 your zikr, your practices will keep pushing  it down, and the energy of your soul will burn 343 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:17,200 the nafs. So, you'll go places, and you will be  very humble because the soul has a strong power 344 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:24,720 to put your nafs down. Now is not the time to act  like something. Be nothing. Be humble, and people 345 00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:30,680 feel comfortable with that. So, it's training  and the energy that they bring upon their soul 346 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:37,560 in which to be humble and people to be happy. And  there's a time in which they use their authority, 347 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:42,880 and there's a time in which to learn what the...  use what they've learned in humility and in the 348 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:53,805 way of Allah (AJ), inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi 349 00:39:53,805 --> 00:39:55,640 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah What is the spiritual benefit of 350 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,480 doing a lot of Khatm e Khwajagan (Zikr of  the Masters of the Naqshbandi Way) after 351 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:05,400 completing daily awrads (daily practices)? I don't know what the spiritual benefit is 352 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:12,920 because it's not recommended to do lots of Khatm  e Khwajagans because… Don't do things that haven't 353 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:20,200 been authorized because it's an energy that people  can't handle, and it wasn't something authorized. 354 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:26,240 So, when they're given authorization that: do the  awrad, do the zikr, do the khatm and these are 355 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:33,440 in the prescription amount. So, if we say like,  ‘Take this antibiotic because of your sickness, 356 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:39,840 one tablet three times a day.’ Can you take  three tablets three times a day? No, because 357 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:45,800 the toxicity of that medicine most likely will  put you in the hospital very quick. That which 358 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:54,000 was a healing for you became toxic for you because  you're not capable of handling that. So, sometimes 359 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,440 people may do zikrs beyond what was asked of  them, and all of a sudden, they start to sense 360 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:05,400 many different energies around them that Allah  (AJ) veiled them. And as a result of that energy, 361 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,280 immediately they became anxious. Immediately,  they felt they were being attacked because if 362 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:16,200 you could see the amount of negative energy just  waiting to attack you, you would have a difficult 363 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:25,400 time functioning in life. But Allah (AJ) veils  us. When you unveil yourself at a not authorized 364 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:32,960 time and you're not at an authorized level, it's  like taking a video game, getting a cheat code, 365 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:40,880 and going up 10 levels. But you didn't progress  for those 10 levels. You don't have all the things 366 00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:46,600 you were supposed to gain on each level. You just  went up 10 floors, and now you're dealing with 367 00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:53,120 demons that are much more powerful and ready to  come after you. So unveiling oneself when they're 368 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:59,400 not ready to be unveiled, nor do they have the  tools to equip themself for that unveiling is 369 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:06,440 not allowed at all and not appropriate. That's  why we say, follow the tariqah way, follow what 370 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:13,280 the shaykh has given. Don't be anxious thinking,  ‘I can take 10 of these pills, and I'll get there 371 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:20,440 faster.’ There is no fast way. The only way is to  connect with the shaykh, connect with the shaykh, 372 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:25,960 do the zikr that's been asked, and make your  connection. You start doing beyond that; 373 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:32,520 you start to hear and feel things and will have a  very difficult experiences, and it's difficult to 374 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:42,480 close those doors right away, inshaAllah. Seems like many people are asking 375 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:46,440 AI questions. The which one? 376 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,160 Seems like many people are  asking the AI questions so… 377 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,640 Oh yeah, questions that are appropriate for the  AI? Yes, you can please contact my associate at 378 00:42:54,640 --> 00:43:01,480 Muhammadan Way, the little guy all the way at the  bottom. Click on him, and he answers things very 379 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:07,440 eloquently, very nice, mashAllah. Remember to put  a thumbs up if it was appropriate, the answer was 380 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,720 nice, the response was good, and if it was off  and didn't seem like it was missing something, 381 00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:17,280 the guys need you to put the mark down. Don't  just because you don't like the answer, but 382 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,200 if the answer you don't think was like complete,  that way they can go back and formulate and find 383 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:27,120 out why it didn't answer or give the appropriate  response, inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) dress everyone, 384 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:44,614 bless everyone, and Jum’ah (Friday)  Mubarak to everyone inshaAllah. 385 00:43:44,614 --> 00:43:44,675 Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa  wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha. 386 00:43:44,675 --> 00:43:47,080 Barakah shafa’at ya Rasulul Kareem, ameen. Anybody have a question, give me like a 387 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:57,040 good basic question; Junaid open up the AI and  let’s see what it… and he’ll read the response. 388 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:24,320 ‘How best to serve the Shaykh?’ Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of 389 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:35,080 Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q)…. too,  too much writing here. It's still writing 390 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:46,800 Sayyidi, one second. It's still going? 391 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,680 It’s okay, it’s done. Alhamdulillah, from the teachings 392 00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,560 of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q), serving  the shaykh is a noble and significant aspect of 393 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,360 spiritual growth and Sufism. The shaykh represents  a link to the Divine presence and to Sayyidina 394 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:03,760 Muhammad ﷺ. Thus, serving him is a means to  draw near to Allah (AJ) and embody the prophetic 395 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:09,080 character. To serve the shaykh one should: 1. Follow guidance – adhere to the teachings 396 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:13,720 and guidance provided by the shaykh. Implement  his advice in your daily life and strive to 397 00:45:13,720 --> 00:45:19,440 embody the characteristics of good manners,  patience, humility, and sincerity that are 398 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:24,000 taught within tariqah (spiritual path). 2. Support – Offer support to the shaykh's 399 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:28,720 mission by participating in events, spreading  the knowledge you have gained responsibly, 400 00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:32,360 and contributing through service  and financial means if possible. 401 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:37,000 3. Maintain adab (manners) - respect.  Show utmost respect towards the shaykh 402 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:42,360 by observing proper Islamic etiquette. This  includes being polite, not demanding his time 403 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,520 unnecessarily, and understanding that he has  responsibility towards all his students. 404 00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:52,320 4. Keep connection – stay connected with the  teachings of the shaykh through regular attendance 405 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:57,640 of suhbah (discourse), gathering for spiritual  talks, participating in zikr circles if available, 406 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,400 reading articles or books written by or about  him, and watching videos of his lectures. 407 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:09,600 5. Seek permission for services – before  engaging in any activity on behalf of the 408 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:16,480 shaykh or using his content for any purpose,  seek explicit permission from him or through 409 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,640 established channels within tariqah. 6. Financial support – if you are moved 410 00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,400 to offer financial assistance without  any feeling of regret or obligation, 411 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,520 but purely out of love and sincerity after  reaching a state of spiritual maturity, this 412 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:36,600 may be accepted as it aligns with the prophetic  tradition where companions offered their wealth 413 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:41,920 sincerely after reaching a state of perfection. Remember that true service is not just about 414 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:47,480 physical actions but also about purifying  one's intentions for Allah’s (AJ) sake and 415 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,440 seeking His pleasure through your efforts.  Service to others is highly regarded as well; 416 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:57,120 helping those in need can often be more  valuable than personal acts of worship. 417 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:02,760 If you wish to learn more about how best to serve  or connect further within tariqah practices such 418 00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:09,960 as adab, awrad or wazifa – spiritual practices,  please reach out to helpme@nurmuhammad.com for 419 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:15,080 more information.
