When Prayer and Duas aren't being answered - Has God Cut You Off?

  • 0:07 - 0:18
    InshaAllah welcoming the holy month… which month 
    we now? The fifth lunar month – Jumadal Awwal,
  • 0:18 - 0:25
    inshaAllah, and Allah (AJ) dress us from 
    the immensity of the realities of the fifth
  • 0:25 - 0:31
    lunar month, the reality of 45 and Ismur Rasul 
    (Name of the Messenger ﷺ) – Sayyidina Shahir:
  • 0:32 - 0:38
    The Famous. And Ismullah (Name of Allah 
    (AJ) that open all realities – Al-Wasi: The
  • 0:38 - 0:46
    All-Comprehending. 45th surah (chapter) and one 
    of the keys of the surah, ayatul kareem (the
  • 0:46 - 0:51
    generous verse of Holy Qur’an) that is an immense 
    doorway to a great understanding and realities
  • 0:51 - 1:05
    inshaAllah surah 45, verse 13. Surah 45, verse 13 
    Hajji Shahid, inshaAllah. “Sakhkhara lakum”.
  • 1:05 - 1:14
    “A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir 
    Rahmanir Raheem. Wa sakhkhara lakum ma fis
  • 1:14 - 1:23
    Samawati wa ma fil Ardi jamee’an minhu, inna 
    fee dhalika la ayatin liqawmin yatafakkaron”.
  • 1:23 - 1:29
    SadaqAllahu ‘Aliyul ‘Azim.
    Wa barakah Rasulul Kareem
  • 1:29 - 1:32
    (The Most Generous Messenger), Habibul ‘Azim (The 
    Beloved of the Magnificent). So alhamdulillah,
  • 1:32 - 1:39
    that as we getting deeper into the Muhammadan 
    heart and to the immense realities of this
  • 1:39 - 1:49
    Divinely Kingdom, this earth is just one of the 
    dots of this Kingdom that manifests. The greater
  • 1:49 - 1:57
    kingdom is that which is unseen and the Divine 
    realities within that. And Allah (AJ) draws our
  • 1:57 - 2:09
    understanding in the 13th verse of surah 45 that, 
    'And He has subjected to you, Sayyidina Muhammad
  • 2:09 - 2:22
    ﷺ, all that is in the heavens and all that are on 
    the earths and what is between them – “Jamee’an”.
  • 2:22 - 2:29
    That anything in between what we consider heaven 
    and earth, from the manifest world to the unseen
  • 2:29 - 2:36
    worlds, all of them have been subjected to you. 
    It means they're under the dominion of Sayyidina
  • 2:36 - 2:47
    Muhammad ﷺ. ‘And behold, these are the signs 
    for those who tafakkiroon – those who meditate
  • 2:47 - 2:52
    and contemplate.’ Not anyone going to understand 
    that. That we described at the beginning of the
  • 2:52 - 3:02
    journey that much of this way, Allah (AJ) always 
    gives this disclaimer: 'None will know it except
  • 3:02 - 3:11
    the people of tafakkur’ (contemplation). And Allah 
    (AJ) drawing that this kingdom none will know it
  • 3:11 - 3:17
    except the people of tafakkur. So, when they 
    say, 'Oh, how you say that?' and 'Why is the
  • 3:17 - 3:21
    Prophet ﷺ above all the other prophets (as)?' 
    and 'Who's your proof on this?' and 'Where's
  • 3:21 - 3:26
    your proof on that?' It's a course that has to 
    be studied throughout the year. But at this door
  • 3:26 - 3:32
    tonight, this is then that tajalli (manifestation) 
    for people to again understand this year that when
  • 3:32 - 3:42
    we come into this fifth lunar month, then Allah 
    (AJ) is giving us the decree of this kingdom that,
  • 3:42 - 3:48
    ‘I have…’ “Sakhkhara lakum ma fis Samawati 
    wa ma fil Ard.” “Minhum” and that it's from
  • 3:48 - 3:57
    Hu – from the Divinely Presence Allah (AJ) 
    has subjected everything. Anything you can
  • 3:57 - 4:05
    think between the physical and unseen world and 
    angels and thrones and ‘arshes and anything,
  • 4:05 - 4:15
    anything we can think of is subjected to the 
    authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. But who will
  • 4:15 - 4:23
    see that door and the door of that authority? None 
    but the people of tafakkur and contemplation. Just
  • 4:23 - 4:31
    as physical people did not see the spider web 
    when Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was hiding in the cave
  • 4:31 - 4:41
    from enemies. They looked into a cave and they 
    couldn't see it. So that when people try to ask
  • 4:41 - 4:48
    or ask questions and start off with a negative 
    understanding, they're not going to see it. So,
  • 4:48 - 4:59
    why bother trying to explain it? They have to be 
    what? Trained in tafakkur because the mind and
  • 4:59 - 5:05
    regular ‘aqel (intellect), the dunya (material 
    world) mind is not going to comprehend these
  • 5:05 - 5:14
    realities. These have to be people who have to 
    have been trained to meditate, to contemplate,
  • 5:14 - 5:22
    to connect their heart, to understand that 
    we're nothing. And if we reduce ourself to
  • 5:22 - 5:30
    the dot that we truly are, you can begin to see 
    the vastness of God's creation. And that the
  • 5:30 - 5:38
    creation is not ruling itself in anarchy, 
    but Allah (AJ) has subjected everything
  • 5:38 - 5:50
    to an authority and that supreme authority is 
    Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. So, this is a tremendous
  • 5:50 - 5:59
    sign of might and qudra – power, Divinely 
    blessings, and alhamdulillah. And as a result,
  • 5:59 - 6:06
    why go to any other door except the door of the 
    king - Sultanan Naseera (Victorious King)? So
  • 6:06 - 6:17
    means, this becomes the evidence of why to love 
    the prophetic reality whom represents all the
  • 6:17 - 6:26
    prophets (as) because the understanding of all 
    the prophets (as) are now corrupt. Which Jesus?
  • 6:26 - 6:34
    Not the ones they say because they took him as 
    a God and that is a dajjal (man of deceit). But
  • 6:34 - 6:43
    the Isa ibn Maryam (as), the one that Prophet ﷺ 
    is describing. So, means everything is encased
  • 6:43 - 6:52
    within the authority of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. 
    And everything that exists upon this earth now is
  • 6:52 - 7:00
    deceit and deception. That's what we described 
    along the way, Sayyidina Musa (as) is black.
  • 7:00 - 7:11
    So, who are these white people? Not the people 
    of Sayyidina Musa (as). Sayyidina Isa (as) Middle
  • 7:11 - 7:22
    Eastern, thick black beard, sweaty, very tough, 
    intolerant. Why they talk about friendly with a
  • 7:22 - 7:35
    lamb? 12 disciples, and everyone else running. 
    Very tough, very strong character. And the one
  • 7:35 - 7:44
    whom was merciful and compassionate – Sayyidina 
    Muhammad ﷺ, the perfection of Divinely Presence.
  • 7:44 - 7:53
    124,000 companions because of the rahmah (mercy) 
    and Allah (AJ) describe, 'We would not have sent
  • 7:53 - 8:00
    him except that he is the mercy.' Because he's the 
    king, he's the door towards the Divinely Presence,
  • 8:00 - 8:07
    to bring people to the correct understanding 
    of Allah (AJ), the correct understanding of
  • 8:07 - 8:16
    the heavens, the disciplined and clear path 
    to Divinely Presence, and the non-corrupted
  • 8:16 - 8:26
    doorway to Divinely Presence because it adheres 
    to what Allah (AJ) wanted for this creation. So,
  • 8:26 - 8:34
    everything becoming darkened and Islam shining 
    like a white light. Who are a people who keep
  • 8:34 - 8:45
    30 days of fasting? Who are a people whom their 
    book is preserved by the Divinely blockchain of
  • 8:45 - 8:53
    1 billion hearts that have memorized the holy 
    book? Means everything about the deen and the
  • 8:53 - 9:02
    religion of Allah (AJ) is showing itself more 
    and more every day. The non-corruptible religion,
  • 9:02 - 9:08
    the religion in which you harm them and they 
    scream louder into the Divinely Presence,
  • 9:08 - 9:14
    'Allahu Akbar' (Allah is The Greatest) and 
    ‘Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illAllah’. So,
  • 9:14 - 9:21
    means the immensity and the beatific reality 
    of this deen (religion) that Allah (AJ) has
  • 9:21 - 9:29
    given to us as our responsibility. And as we 
    enter into this divinely month and holy month,
  • 9:30 - 9:40
    Allah (AJ) grants from this reality, this ishq and 
    love because all whom you love you'll be with.
  • 9:40 - 9:47
    And if you're with the one whom Allah (AJ) 
    is describing that, ‘We have subjected to
  • 9:47 - 9:56
    you everything within the earths, the physical 
    world and all of the spiritual world and anything
  • 9:56 - 10:04
    between them is subjected to you from Hu – from 
    Allah's (AJ) Divinely Essence’. Means that that's
  • 10:04 - 10:12
    the one to love, that's the one to emulate and 
    copy the character. And that's the one whom if
  • 10:12 - 10:21
    you draw near to the presence of Prophet ﷺ, you 
    draw near to these power oceans and purified,
  • 10:21 - 10:27
    perfected oceans of reality, inshaAllah. We 
    pray that Allah (AJ) dress us and bless us
  • 10:27 - 10:38
    from its immensity. And a reminder for myself in 
    a life that becoming more and more bombarded by
  • 10:38 - 10:50
    dunya. That Allah's (AJ) gift to us, because 
    if we don't remind ourself what is the gift,
  • 10:50 - 10:59
    we allow shaitan (satan) to play within our mind, 
    within our whispering. That we live in a world in
  • 10:59 - 11:12
    which we have expectations and we want something 
    from everyone. And when we don't get what we want,
  • 11:12 - 11:19
    we have a disappointment. But many people 
    now just go somewhere else, search for it
  • 11:19 - 11:28
    with someone else and something else. But love for 
    Allah (AJ) is not like that, means the gift that
  • 11:28 - 11:40
    Allah (AJ) gave to us is His Divinely love – this 
    is the gift. When Allah (AJ) loves the servant,
  • 11:40 - 11:49
    He allows them to have this Divinely love. 
    Without the Divinely love, you're not
  • 11:49 - 11:59
    interested in your Creator. You would be the 99% 
    of the people whom looking in other directions.
  • 12:01 - 12:07
    So, before we have all of these desires of 
    what we want, the awliya (saints) come back
  • 12:07 - 12:16
    and remind us that those are pretty much garbage 
    and the gift that Allah (AJ) gave to us was this
  • 12:16 - 12:25
    Divinely love. And when Allah (AJ) increased that 
    gift, He put into your heart to have the love
  • 12:25 - 12:32
    of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the love of all His 
    Divinely Prophets (as), and that was a gift from
  • 12:32 - 12:42
    Allah (AJ). And when Allah (AJ) gives that gift, 
    He gives the love of the Ulul Amr (saints) – those
  • 12:42 - 12:53
    who emulate and copy and represent the presence of 
    Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, the way of these realities
  • 12:53 - 13:03
    and the path of these realities. And the gift was 
    the love in the heart; that was the gift. Because
  • 13:03 - 13:12
    everyone now, they pray for things, they pray for 
    what they want, they pray for openings, they pray
  • 13:12 - 13:19
    for more money, they pray for bigger this, bigger 
    that, more opportunity. But unfortunately, they
  • 13:19 - 13:28
    begin to associate the prayer as if that's the 
    gift from Allah (AJ). And if you don't get what
  • 13:28 - 13:39
    you prayed for, then you have a falling out with 
    your Creator. And they seem to have wrapped the
  • 13:39 - 13:46
    worshipness with requests. 'Oh, He's not listening 
    to me. Oh, it's not being answered. Oh, oh, oh,
  • 13:46 - 13:55
    oh, oh.' But that wasn't the gift; those were 
    things that shaitan put into our hearts to ask and
  • 13:55 - 14:04
    to want. But that's not what Allah (AJ) put into 
    the heart. He says, 'I gave you the greatest gift,
  • 14:04 - 14:10
    which was My Divinely love.’ Without that love, 
    you're not even watching the channel. So, it's not
  • 14:10 - 14:16
    relevant to anyone who's outside of that. Anyone 
    watching this channel has been given a grant of
  • 14:16 - 14:22
    Divinely love. Whatever they think their religion 
    and denomination doesn't mean anything. They have
  • 14:22 - 14:28
    a yearning within their heart, a hunger within 
    their heart; that was the gift. Everything else
  • 14:28 - 14:33
    shaitan comes to whisper to us, ‘Ask for this, ask 
    for that, ask for that.’ And actually, the words
  • 14:33 - 14:39
    of shaitan will come back to the person and say, 
    'Look, He left you. He doesn't even listen to you.
  • 14:39 - 14:49
    I would listen to you all the time. I would never 
    leave you.' This is how shaitan's operation runs:
  • 14:49 - 14:55
    fear of missing out, lost opportunities, wanting, 
    wanting, wanting. But that has nothing to do with
  • 14:55 - 15:02
    the Divine; that has to do with shaitan and 
    shaitan keep whispering to the servant that,
  • 15:02 - 15:10
    'Oh, nobody's listening to you. Leave that, 
    leave that way. Oh, the Prophet doesn't love
  • 15:10 - 15:21
    you ﷺ. Leave that way.' But none of that is true. 
    And it wasn't a path based on asking for things:
  • 15:21 - 15:28
    'I want this, I want that, I want this, I 
    want that.' And when they don't get those,
  • 15:28 - 15:32
    they have an extreme disappointment. 'Oh, God 
    must not love me; I'm not getting what I'm
  • 15:32 - 15:40
    asking for.' But this wasn't a religion in with 
    the heavens they bowed down to you and to me;
  • 15:40 - 15:48
    we were supposed to bow down to Allah (AJ). And 
    it's not what I'm asking for but to be thankful,
  • 15:48 - 15:55
    'Ya Rabbi I love You for the sake of the love 
    You've given to me and put into my heart. I
  • 15:55 - 16:01
    could have been doing many different things, bad 
    things, but You put a love within my heart to love
  • 16:01 - 16:11
    You. And deeper than that Ya Rabbi, You put a love 
    into my heart to love Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ And
  • 16:11 - 16:20
    I do what I do out of that love. I want to eagerly 
    do more so that to gain the attention of Prophet ﷺ
  • 16:21 - 16:33
    and show the entire universe how much I have that 
    love. Our path is based on – show your love. So,
  • 16:33 - 16:42
    it means that your expression of love is the 
    gift; this is what we were hoping for. To have
  • 16:42 - 16:52
    the love for one's shaykh is such a deep love that 
    no matter what happens in this world, it's burned
  • 16:52 - 16:58
    within your wujud (existence). It's burned into 
    the reality of the soul; it's not at the level
  • 16:58 - 17:07
    of the tongue; it's at the level of the heart. 
    When someone can't remember their shaykh, can't
  • 17:07 - 17:14
    think about the shaykh, can't feel or send a love 
    towards the shaykh, how are they thinking that
  • 17:14 - 17:21
    they have love for Allah (AJ) or for Sayyidina 
    Muhammad ﷺ when that which is in front of you,
  • 17:21 - 17:30
    that which is accessible to you, you're not able 
    to express that love? Maybe it's because they
  • 17:30 - 17:36
    have expectations: 'Oh, I didn't get the job I 
    wanted, therefore I'm not interested.' Oh so, this
  • 17:36 - 17:43
    probably how you feel about Prophet ﷺ too: You 
    don't get what you want, then you become distant
  • 17:43 - 17:52
    and angered. You didn't get a response from Allah 
    (AJ), you become then distant and angered because
  • 17:52 - 17:59
    we are putting the understanding of shaitan 
    towards Rahman (The Most Compassionate),
  • 17:59 - 18:06
    and they don't operate anything the same. The 
    mere fact Allah (AJ) has given me guidance,
  • 18:06 - 18:15
    then this is a immense gift. My life is then 
    to nurture this gift, protect this gift, take
  • 18:15 - 18:21
    care of this gift, show my love and expression 
    for that gift. And what we're teaching is then
  • 18:21 - 18:30
    the nazar (gaze). Because then the nazar and the 
    relationship grows, the khidmat and the service,
  • 18:30 - 18:37
    the zeal of wanting to do more because I want 
    my shaykh to be happy, I want the nazar to be
  • 18:37 - 18:48
    upon me. All of this reality is then this deep 
    reality of Divinely love. Because many people say,
  • 18:48 - 18:52
    'No, no, I have love for Allah (AJ). I don't 
    know about the rest of you.' But in reality,
  • 18:52 - 18:59
    no, you don't. And it doesn't work that way. 
    To love the Divine and to declare that you love
  • 18:59 - 19:06
    the Divine but you don't have a love for Prophet 
    ﷺ, and if you don't have that overwhelming love
  • 19:06 - 19:15
    for Prophet ﷺ that would carry over into the Ulul 
    Amr because you want to be around Muhammadiyoon;
  • 19:15 - 19:21
    you want to hear the Muhammadiyoon; you want to be 
    in the presence of the Muhammadiyoon. Why? Because
  • 19:21 - 19:30
    your love for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ overwhelms 
    you. And as a result, all you want is their nazar;
  • 19:30 - 19:38
    all you want is to do a khidmat and a service. 
    And that is the gift; this is the greatest
  • 19:38 - 19:44
    battle now. Because shaitan every day is playing 
    with people, ‘You didn't get this, they oh...
  • 19:44 - 19:51
    they forgot about you; they don't think of you.’ 
    What kind of rubbish is that? This was not about
  • 19:51 - 19:59
    getting your satisfactions and your prayers to 
    be answered; this was a path in which to submit.
  • 20:00 - 20:06
    We didn't take bay’at (pledge of allegiance); 
    we came to give our bay’at, give my life,
  • 20:06 - 20:14
    and give my service and give everything of 
    myself to show my Creator my love, my love for
  • 20:14 - 20:20
    the tariqah (spiritual path) which is the yellow 
    brick road to the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad
  • 20:20 - 20:32
    ﷺ. Every video I watch proves it, every knowledge 
    I hear proves it. Then ask yourself, do you feel
  • 20:32 - 20:40
    more love for the presence of Prophet ﷺ since 
    you've come to this door, to these teachings,
  • 20:40 - 20:48
    from a month ago, from 6 months ago, from a 
    year ago? From the day you came to where you are
  • 20:48 - 20:59
    now in your life, do you feel more love for the 
    presence of Prophet ﷺ? If so, that was the gift.
  • 21:01 - 21:06
    Before we ask and become confused by shaitan 
    of what we were going to try to get, not get,
  • 21:06 - 21:13
    what we were supposed to receive, not receive, 
    the gift that Allah (AJ) wanted for us was this
  • 21:13 - 21:21
    love because it's the love that we carry for 
    us all of eternity. What are you going to do
  • 21:21 - 21:28
    with the job and everything else you asked for 
    that ends in the grave? That wasn't the gift.
  • 21:28 - 21:34
    What Allah (AJ) wanted to give was that which is 
    eternal. When He grants the love of the shaykh,
  • 21:34 - 21:43
    you take that love for all of eternity. You 
    take your last breath on this earth; that love,
  • 21:43 - 21:49
    its reality opens in the qabr (grave) and 
    in the world of light to understand what
  • 21:49 - 21:59
    that really was and who that really was. The 
    love for Prophet ﷺ lasts for all of eternity,
  • 21:59 - 22:10
    not 80 years on this earth. But shaitan has us 
    focusing on the wrong prayers – on the 80 years,
  • 22:10 - 22:20
    on the dunya part and overlooking the importance 
    of that which is eternal, which you can't even
  • 22:20 - 22:27
    describe the magnitude of what Allah (AJ) gives 
    you for eternity. Could you compare that with
  • 22:27 - 22:37
    what you're asking from the 80 or 90 years of life 
    on this earth? So, the big we're losing sight of
  • 22:37 - 22:44
    and the small, shaitan's entire focus is on that. 
    That he actually talks to people and tells them,
  • 22:44 - 22:50
    'I haven't forgotten you. Just come to me, I 
    grant you what you want. I'll always be with you,
  • 22:50 - 22:55
    even to the day that I make you homeless 
    and begging and destroying yourself and
  • 22:56 - 23:00
    being attacked upon the street.' Because 
    shaitan doesn't promise anything but the
  • 23:00 - 23:09
    despair and destruction of humanity.
    We pray that Allah (AJ) give us a great
  • 23:09 - 23:17
    understanding of what Allah (AJ) has given to us. 
    As a result, if we awaken to understand this love,
  • 23:17 - 23:22
    we would never stop our service, we 
    would never stop showing the love,
  • 23:22 - 23:31
    we would live a life of immense happiness that 
    Allah (AJ) has given everything to us. He gave
  • 23:31 - 23:40
    us the love of a sultan (king) whom is authority 
    over everything and granted us to live and eat and
  • 23:40 - 23:47
    to take the knowledges of Ulul Amr who represent 
    the Divinely kingdom and the Divinely table of
  • 23:47 - 23:55
    Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ in which we eat from his 
    Divinely table. That Divinely table in the world
  • 23:55 - 24:04
    of light is knowledge. They don't feed food up 
    there; it's a world of light. To take from the
  • 24:04 - 24:11
    table of Prophet ﷺ is to eat and drink from his 
    holy Kawthar (the Fountain of Abundance), and to
  • 24:11 - 24:20
    be taking that in dunya is an immense system, 
    is an immense sign for those whom contemplate.
  • 24:20 - 24:25
    Imagine if this is what you eat and drink in 
    dunya, what Allah (AJ) has in store for you
  • 24:25 - 24:44
    in paradises? InshaAllah Allah (AJ) open for 
    us these immense lights, immense blessings.
