WEBVTT 00:00:09.333 --> 00:00:15.209 “A’uzu Billahi Minash Shaitanir  Rajeem. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.” 00:00:15.209 --> 00:00:20.080 “Atiullah atiur Rasul wa Ulil amre minkum.” And always a reminder for 00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:25.040 myself ana abdukal 'ajeezu, dayeefu,  miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, and but for 00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:29.960 the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are  still in existence. Alhamdulillah 00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:39.400 for all the khidmat (service). That alhamdulillah  everyone putting out nice AI videos, images, 00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:46.200 and cutting up the longer videos, putting  out reels. InshaAllah Allah (AJ)... Also, 00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:52.200 people translating to Spanish, to other  languages. Allah (AJ) give everybody immense 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:58.560 blessings and himmah (zeal) to do more. Our food  collection, mashAllah, immense amounts of food 00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:03.280 being collected. Our video productions, in-house  productions, the zikrs (Divine remembrance), the 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:10.200 majlis (association), the center. Alhamdulillah  for everyone's life of service and their immense 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:16.640 love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ shows by  the khidmat and the service. InshaAllah, 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:22.280 the food distributions, the orphanage  support, the qurbani (sacrifice) programs, 00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:28.800 the water well programs, and distributing food  in Kenya. Hopefully now in Nigeria there's 00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:36.400 a Naqshbandi out there that will start putting  out food and qurbans. In Pakistan and Vancouver, 00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.800 Los Angeles, Chicago. So, alhamdulillah,  everywhere, wherever we can go and wherever 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 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 00:01:57.360 --> 00:02:03.480 pray that Allah (AJ) inspire their hearts to  send us more people who want to participate 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:09.240 and have the zeal - the himmah in which to  participate and receive the nazar (gaze) of 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:25.911 Prophet ﷺ and alhamdulillah, inshaAllah. Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa 00:02:25.911 --> 00:02:25.988 wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha. Ya shafa’at (intercession) ya Rasulul Kareem 00:02:25.988 --> 00:02:27.160 (The Most Generous Messenger). Ameen! InshaAllah, what we have from last 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 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 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. 00:02:52.878 --> 00:02:56.720 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 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 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.600 the AI the questions and ‘what is the awrad’  (daily awrad), ‘what is Naqshbandiya,’ ‘what is 00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:15.480 the muraqabah’ (spiritual connection). Whatever  you think you want to ask, ask the AI. If the 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, 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 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, 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, 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:46.400 how to tweak it, and how to make it more  appropriate or if something was inappropriate, 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.320 inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) bless everyone  and dress everyone and try your best 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, 00:03:55.440 --> 00:04:01.840 it'll be answering the emails and correspondence,  everything because it gives a much better reply 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 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:17.400 putting knowledges into an information back to  somebody. So, alhamdulillah, very good. Sorry, 00:04:17.400 --> 00:04:25.164 what was the question? As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi. 00:04:25.164 --> 00:04:27.880 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Could you please expand on the strong-tied 00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:34.000 analogy you used that could possibly take  a student away or cause difficulties on 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:42.280 their path? Also, the benefits of learning  how to swim spiritually and physically. 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. 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:27.400 we do our meditation, our muraqabah, all our  practices that the shaykh has asked. Why? So 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 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. 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, 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 00:06:54.320 --> 00:07:01.800 the physicality. When you've committed yourself  and charity is like a tuition into a Divinely 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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, 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 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:11.320 actually asked women ‘Lower their gaze,’ but  that person who said that was lying. So they 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 00:09:15.760 --> 00:09:23.760 according to themself and their understandings.  So tariqah is a path to the heart of Prophet 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, 00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:36.920 support your relationship with the shaykh  it ties you to the reality. It doesn't tie 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 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 00:09:47.640 --> 00:09:52.880 make them to lose their mission. No, no, Allah  (AJ) will exchange people for better people, 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, 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, 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 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 00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:24.960 bound, then you think that they would sit and  make their muraqabah, make their connection. 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 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, 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 00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:49.080 people to use the AI at the website. And  alhamdulillah, very eloquent responses and 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:58.756 very thorough, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. 00:10:58.756 --> 00:11:01.480 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:06.680 the Catalyst during tafakkur (contemplation).  Does ghadab (anger) come as a catalyst when 00:11:06.680 --> 00:11:13.880 we are heedless and not staying in  hudur (presence) of our shaykhs? 00:11:13.880 --> 00:11:23.875 Yeah, the... we have the fire of Nimrod.  The talk about the fire, “Qulna ya naaru, 00:11:23.875 --> 00:11:25.400 kunee Bardan wa Salaman ‘ala Ibrahim.” Then this is the story of Sayyidina 00:11:25.400 --> 00:11:29.440 Ibrahim (as) being cast into a fire  because everyone's going to follow the way 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 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 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 00:11:48.280 --> 00:11:53.972 the Qalb (heart), the Sir (secret), the Sirr  e Sir (secret of the secret) Sayyidina Ibrahim 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 00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:04.520 and teaching that: you have to overcome  fire. This fire that comes into your life, 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 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 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 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:31.840 Fir’auns (pharaohs), these are the descendants  that rule the earth till today. And because of 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 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:54.360 described in other talks, ignorance—it amplifies  anger. Wise people shouldn't be angry; ignorant 00:12:54.360 --> 00:13:03.320 people are always angry. You see them ranting  and raving on social media, yelling, screaming, 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.920 yelling, screaming, yelling, screaming, because  they're ignorant. But wise people, they don't talk 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 00:13:16.560 --> 00:13:29.120 are different, and the reality is different for  them, inshaAllah. What were we talking about? 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.760 What was the question? [Shaykh laughs] Sayyidi you taught us that Sayyidina TaSeen is 00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:41.800 the catalyst during tafakkur… The fire, the fire, yeah. That how 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, 00:13:52.144 --> 00:13:56.360 kunee Bardan wa Salaman” to be “bardan wa  salaam” means the presence of Prophet ﷺ. 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 00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:10.120 presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, that fire comes  under control and it becomes, and should become, 00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:16.280 something cool and peaceful. When something's  cool and peaceful, it means you have a control 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; 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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. 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; 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, 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 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, 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 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 00:15:56.620 --> 00:16:03.354 durood sharif (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ),  inshaAllah on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah. 00:16:03.354 --> 00:16:08.400 As salaamu alaykum, Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 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, 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:23.160 or do our actions only reveal and unlock  what we already have been given? 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 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 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:13.400 life to build my akhirah (hereafter).  I do good, I speak good, I act good, 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, 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 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 00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:44.880 have... “Qul inna salati wa nusuki wa mahyaya  wa mamati lillahi Rabbil ‘Aalamin”. ‘And did 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:49.680 you think you would not be tested like  those who came before you with your life, 00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:57.280 your family, your property, your wealth, your...’  everything will be tested by Allah (AJ). 00:17:57.280 --> 00:18:03.440 So, alhamdulillah, we put all of that so that  we can reach our perfection, inshaAllah. And 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 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 00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:24.000 the presence of the shaykhs, so that we can  move closer to the presence of Sayyidina 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:36.520 Muhammad ﷺ, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum, 00:18:36.520 --> 00:18:40.080 Sayyidi. Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 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 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.440 the exact order, or does he move to specific  levels according to his specific conditions? 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. 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:08.200 It's a general opening of all realities,  but one fully doesn't elevate until the 00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:13.600 lower levels are understood and opened.  And they can only be open by a strong 00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:19.400 connection with the shaykh. It's the faiz  (downpouring blessings) of the shaykh that 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 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:31.520 connection with the shaykhs. It's the knowledge  of this, Ilm ul Yaqeen (Knowledge of Certainty) 00:19:31.520 --> 00:19:36.360 so that they studied these subjects. Ayn ul Yaqeen  (Vision of Certainty) means that they entered 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 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 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 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. 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:55.440 a pen, to write knowledges, understand knowledges.  Those knowledges have to be written onto my book. 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 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. 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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, 00:22:08.080 --> 00:22:13.440 how to connect with the contemplation. And as a  result of contemplating, then you would understand 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 00:22:23.320 --> 00:22:28.520 the shaykh, inshaAllah. As 00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.071 salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 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, 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? 00:22:51.080 --> 00:23:00.480 Five different shaykhs, you can’t take from five  different shaykhs. So, they take knowledges but 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:09.816 they're not truly entering the contract with  the knowledge. So it's a difference. Your… 00:23:09.816 --> 00:23:15.880 And especially if they’re tariqah shaykhs, it’s  very difficult to understand their knowledges, 00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:24.040 make your connection and connect your heart and  connect to their wallet and the conveyance of 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 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 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 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 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, 00:24:02.080 --> 00:24:11.160 people saying like ridiculously clowny statements  that, ‘I hold five tariqahs.’ And they tell us, 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 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 00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:32.480 its trust; its responsibility of how it's holding  mankind and their sicknesses kill the shaykhs, 00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:38.200 you're talking about you holding five  tariqahs? These are the times we live 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:45.000 in when ‘They take the religion as a jest’  Allah (AJ) talks about, like a ‘Playing.’ 00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:50.920 They say these ridiculous, playful statements  as if… what are you talking about? Not even 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 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 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:11.680 muraqabah and connect. It doesn't work that  way. And when you connect with your shaykh, 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:16.440 when connected with our shaykh, connected with  our shaykh, connected with our shaykh, immense 00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:24.680 amount of testing, immense amounts of humiliation,  immense amounts of demolishing and effacing. Onto 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, 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 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, 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. 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 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 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 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 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 00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:42.160 of their annihilation and the process of the  downpouring and downloading within the heart. So, 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 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 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 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 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. 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 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. 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 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, 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 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 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, 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 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 00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:30.880 Allah's (AJ) immense technologies. Allah (AJ)  will look to the heart of the receiving servant 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 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, 00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:49.920 and then begins the faiz with all their testing,  with all their loyalty, all their commitment, 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, 00:28:55.120 --> 00:29:02.120 their life, their dedication, then these coins  begin to download. And they keep checking them 00:29:02.120 --> 00:29:10.760 downloading, downloading. And a greater possession  where the shaykh keeps the custody wallet. So, 00:29:10.760 --> 00:29:15.080 now with these technologies, we're understanding  where Mawlana Shaykh (Q) would say that whatever 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 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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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 00:30:14.760 --> 00:30:21.240 things that are the trust of the entire created  universe, these realities, and just to achieve 00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:28.920 some sense of reality from it is an immense  achievement than anyone could ever possibly 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 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. 00:30:41.040 --> 00:30:50.380 But to hold the tariqah is just something  immense. InshaAllah, Allah (AJ) help us all. 00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:57.112 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. 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 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? 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 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 00:31:28.760 --> 00:31:33.600 of the siwak (teeth cleaning twig) and the  struggling for the truth against falsehood. And 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 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 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. 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 00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:05.640 the sunnah (traditions) of Sayyidina Muhammad  ﷺ, and they give every reason possible and 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, 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 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 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.’ 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. 00:33:40.040 --> 00:33:43.792 As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah 00:33:43.792 --> 00:33:48.320 Sayyidi as many of us have  non-Muslim family members, 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 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 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 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 00:34:19.160 --> 00:34:27.720 can. And wherever it’s respectful and polite and  wherever the atmosphere is correct and respectful. 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:29.280 trying to make sure that the events are halal  (permissible) and clean and appropriate so that 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:16.680 has come, lightning has come. Towns go missing  with floods, there's all sorts of calamities 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 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 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 00:36:36.200 --> 00:36:46.636 the umbrella of protection, inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi 00:36:46.636 --> 00:36:48.280 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah. Sayyidi Allah (AJ) says He hears the 00:36:48.280 --> 00:36:53.240 du'a (supplication) of the oppressed ones  most, and if we oppressed ourselves will 00:36:53.240 --> 00:36:58.000 Allah (AJ) hear our du'as to be good  ones? Madad (support) ya Sayyidi. 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 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, 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 00:37:20.560 --> 00:37:27.520 physicality.’ So, the opportunity that Allah  (AJ) gave all of us to come to the tariqah, 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, 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 00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.080 soul and the shaykhs? Because the soul  wants what the shaykh wants that - take 00:37:45.080 --> 00:37:51.960 over this guy's physicality and control  it. So, anytime someone wants to know, 00:37:51.960 --> 00:38:00.120 ‘What does my soul want and what my  physicality wants?’ My physicality wants 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, 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 00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:26.320 very different understandings and different wants.  Anytime you feel humiliated, your soul is happy, 00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:34.200 and your physicality is very angry. Anytime  you feel not listened to, not respected, 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 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:49.760 the what the soul wants is something completely  different than what people understand. That's why 00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:57.600 if you humble yourself without needing to be  humiliated, the soul is very happy with you. 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, 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 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 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 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 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, 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 00:39:42.880 --> 00:39:53.805 way of Allah (AJ), inshaAllah. As salaamu alaykum Sayyidi 00:39:53.805 --> 00:39:55.640 Walaykum as salaam warahmatullah What is the spiritual benefit of 00:39:55.640 --> 00:39:58.480 doing a lot of Khatm e Khwajagan (Zikr of  the Masters of the Naqshbandi Way) after 00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:05.400 completing daily awrads (daily practices)? I don't know what the spiritual benefit is 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 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. 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 00:40:26.240 --> 00:40:33.440 in the prescription amount. So, if we say like,  ‘Take this antibiotic because of your sickness, 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 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 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 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 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, 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:09.280 immediately they became anxious. Immediately,  they felt they were being attacked because if 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:25.960 do the zikr that's been asked, and make your  connection. You start doing beyond that; 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 00:42:32.520 --> 00:42:42.480 close those doors right away, inshaAllah. Seems like many people are asking 00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:46.440 AI questions. The which one? 00:42:46.440 --> 00:42:49.160 Seems like many people are  asking the AI questions so… 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 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 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 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, 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 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 00:43:22.200 --> 00:43:27.120 out why it didn't answer or give the appropriate  response, inshaAllah. Allah (AJ) dress everyone, 00:43:27.120 --> 00:43:44.614 bless everyone, and Jum’ah (Friday)  Mubarak to everyone inshaAllah. 00:43:44.614 --> 00:43:44.675 Bi Hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa  wa bi siri Surat al-Fatiha. 00:43:44.675 --> 00:43:47.080 Barakah shafa’at ya Rasulul Kareem, ameen. Anybody have a question, give me like a 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. 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:24.320 ‘How best to serve the Shaykh?’ Alhamdulillah, from the teachings of 00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:35.080 Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q)…. too,  too much writing here. It's still writing 00:44:35.080 --> 00:44:46.800 Sayyidi, one second. It's still going? 00:44:46.800 --> 00:44:48.680 It’s okay, it’s done. Alhamdulillah, from the teachings 00:44:48.680 --> 00:44:52.560 of Mawlana Shaykh Nurjan Mirahmadi (Q), serving  the shaykh is a noble and significant aspect of 00:44:52.560 --> 00:44:57.360 spiritual growth and Sufism. The shaykh represents  a link to the Divine presence and to Sayyidina 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 00:45:03.760 --> 00:45:09.080 character. To serve the shaykh one should: 1. Follow guidance – adhere to the teachings 00:45:09.080 --> 00:45:13.720 and guidance provided by the shaykh. Implement  his advice in your daily life and strive to 00:45:13.720 --> 00:45:19.440 embody the characteristics of good manners,  patience, humility, and sincerity that are 00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:24.000 taught within tariqah (spiritual path). 2. Support – Offer support to the shaykh's 00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:28.720 mission by participating in events, spreading  the knowledge you have gained responsibly, 00:45:28.720 --> 00:45:32.360 and contributing through service  and financial means if possible. 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:37.000 3. Maintain adab (manners) - respect.  Show utmost respect towards the shaykh 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:42.360 by observing proper Islamic etiquette. This  includes being polite, not demanding his time 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:47.520 unnecessarily, and understanding that he has  responsibility towards all his students. 00:45:47.520 --> 00:45:52.320 4. Keep connection – stay connected with the  teachings of the shaykh through regular attendance 00:45:52.320 --> 00:45:57.640 of suhbah (discourse), gathering for spiritual  talks, participating in zikr circles if available, 00:45:57.640 --> 00:46:03.400 reading articles or books written by or about  him, and watching videos of his lectures. 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:09.600 5. Seek permission for services – before  engaging in any activity on behalf of the 00:46:09.600 --> 00:46:16.480 shaykh or using his content for any purpose,  seek explicit permission from him or through 00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:21.640 established channels within tariqah. 6. Financial support – if you are moved 00:46:21.640 --> 00:46:26.400 to offer financial assistance without  any feeling of regret or obligation, 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:31.520 but purely out of love and sincerity after  reaching a state of spiritual maturity, this 00:46:31.520 --> 00:46:36.600 may be accepted as it aligns with the prophetic  tradition where companions offered their wealth 00:46:36.600 --> 00:46:41.920 sincerely after reaching a state of perfection. Remember that true service is not just about 00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:47.480 physical actions but also about purifying  one's intentions for Allah’s (AJ) sake and 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:52.440 seeking His pleasure through your efforts.  Service to others is highly regarded as well; 00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:57.120 helping those in need can often be more  valuable than personal acts of worship. 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 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:09.960 as adab, awrad or wazifa – spiritual practices,  please reach out to helpme@nurmuhammad.com for 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.080 more information.
