A te e ha Allah, ate e ha Ras ul uh, wa ' ul il am re m ink um. And always a reminder for myself, ana ab du kal ' aj ee zu, ta ' if u, mis kin u
, z ol im, and j ahl. Remember for the grace of Allah that we 're still in existence and al ham dul illah negative energies and people in so many problems. And a great rah m ah that Allah has sent for all of creation on every planet and every galaxy , universe is the presence of Say y id ina understood
and that aw li ya come into our lives to teach us that when the rules are many and negativity is everywhere and every type of difficulty people are facing to try to accomplish to reach to Allah 's love and satisfaction. And in a negative world that becomes much more difficult. And the immense gift and rah m ah that Allah has
given to us from the had ith of Prophet ï·º is that Prophet ï·º taught, you love.' And immediately when Say y id ina Abu Bak r as - S id di q heard that part of the had ith, it was a longer had ith but Prophet ï·º was asked about q iy am ah and difficulties that are coming and didn 't answer and then again he was asked in the middle of J umm ah that, ' Ya Ras
ul allah what and judgment day like we 're facing now in difficulties people who were had so much ya q een that they believed that da j jal was coming at that moment until Prophet ï·º interrupted the j amm ah and said, ' What have you prepared?' Let me address what you 're asking, ' What have you had prepared
for all of these q iy am ah and My love for you, my love for Allah.' And Prophet ï·º said, ' Then you be with whom you love.' Means that Allah gave is har at as a rah m ah, it was like a mercy that came in the middle of that J umm ah that that man 's heart was inspired so that Prophet ï·º would bring gift for the nation.' As soon as Say y id ina Abu Bak r as - S id di q heard that
, out of excitement he stood up. And aw li ya come and teach that immense rah m ah and a gift to the nation was that had ith, had ith al - N abi ï·º that, ' You be with whom you love.' And what have you prepared and all the rules and all of these things and what have you prepared for these difficulties?' And the man replied, ' Nothing from that but
the love of Allah and the love of His Ras ul ï·º.' And the reply that Prophet ï·º gave , ' You be with whom you love.' our religion, is our way, is our mad hab, is everything because it takes away all imperfect ion that the inter cession of Prophet ï·º is what we want . on anything. They say, ' I 'm this, I 'm that, I believe this, I believe that,' most
of which they 've never done and they don 't do and they don 't fulfill. How will you go before Allah making those claims and those titles? gift that Allah gave to the nation and if you 're clever and you understood and it 's mainly from people who have guidance from aw li ya because this is a ni 'm at and bar akah that Allah give to the heart
of the ' ash q een, ' ash q een e N abi ﷺ that make it easy. people don 't have any more ability to follow anything complicated and they 're overwhelmed . We 've described before that debt is … takes away the ability to serve Allah. Sh ait an has put everybody into debt and they have no ability to even serve Allah
serve sh ait an. All of these difficulties, all of these difficulties and people wondering how they 're going to complete what Allah wants from them. And the rah m ah of tar i q ah s, they come to give a naj at that, ' Look what Prophet ï·º gives us of had ith s. presence. And when Prophet ï·º is teaching you, ' Be with whom you love,' he 's saying
then, ' Be careful, who you love you 're going to be with them. If you love the wrong people you 're going to be with them and you will share in their am al.' anyone because you 'll be with whom you love. You love the wrong, you 're going to share in the aman of the wrong. But if you love Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º, you 're going to share in the bar akah and
the blessings that fixes your sh aria, that fixes your tar i q ah, that fix everything, everything that imperfect in you, every fault in you, everywhere you have come short . When you say that, ' Ya Rabbi whatever Prophet ï·º brought for us is a truth and I put all my faith in that reality so I 'll be with whom I love.' And aw li ya come and teach then, ' Make your love in
your life Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º.' Very easy to accomplish but yet very difficult because sh ait an doesn 't like that idea. And they come to teach that make your life about the love of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º. Incre ase the love, do your du ro od al - sh ar if, do your sal aw ats, follow the sun nah of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º.
In every chance and every ability think about that love, think about that is h q , do your to always be in the presence of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º. And that the heart begins a soft ness, a tend erness and like a magnet it begins to move towards the presence of Prophet ï·º. souls direct themselves to the presence of Prophet ï·º the had ith begins to open, ' You will be with whom
you love.' When you love the best of creation, the most beautiful of creation, the perfection of creation, pull you to his presence ï·º. And that becomes immense rah m ah. Hub b an N abi ï·º, as soon as the nas he eds begin, as soon as the sal aw ats begin , as soon as the heart begins to direct its magnet to that presence, you 're not
jour ne ying somewhere. Everything else you have to go. For your salah, hope that you make salah and it goes somewhere. Hope that when you gave zak ah it went to the right place. Hope when you fast ed you completed your fast correctly, didn 't break it with other ways of violating. Every action has a potential of having a violation.
put your life on that. Those are extra. Those we did because Allah ordered us to do. We don 't know what 's going to be under the judgment of that. But love, I can put all my effort into love.' When I put all my effort into love, better, more, more, more, more. And that becomes the beauty of de en.
To increase our love for Prophet ï·º by going out and doing good and say, ' I 'm doing this for the love of Prophet ï·º.' Having the ma f ya, doing the z ik rs, doing the nas he ed, thousands of people, have the ma fil spread to thousands of people so that like an o asis we spread that love that, ' Come sit with us in this o asis
of is h q and mu hab bat of the N abi ï·º.' And if you should take a sip of that and it should affect your heart for the rest of your that love because " Rah mat an lil ' al ame en ". This is Allah 's mercy and rah m ah is the reality of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º. So all our efforts are on how to increase that love and that 's why they come and
teach that, ' Do your kh id mat, do your service, spread these teachings, do all of the things that have been described.' greatest rah m ah opening in the next week or so is the month of Rab bal ' A ww al. It 's not something small. That when we celebrate the mil ad an N abi ï·º, the birth of Prophet ï·º, he doesn 't
need that. that but Prophet ï·º is teaching for us that you 're in need, that when you celebrate the birth of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º Allah bring a new light within your heart and soul . This is a Muh amm adan light because you want for your brother what you want for yourself. that is h q for Prophet ï·º Allah put that light of Muhammad un Ras ul ullah ï·º into
your heart so that it can flourish, it can open and it can begin to bring. That 's why then every description of Prophet ï·º in the Qur ' an that he 's with you , that light ï·º, that he 's a guide ï·º, that he 's a witness ï·º. All of the descriptions is because Prophet ï·º 's light is to be placed within the
heart of the believer. And the greatest opportunity for that light is in the celebration of bin Ad il N abi ï·º. Why? lights coming into existence. This is the celebration of Allah wanting to be known. Allah described, ' I 'm a hidden treasure and I want to be known.' How He 's known ? Through the light of Muhammad un Ras ul allah ï·º.
Everything exists within ' La il aha ill allah Muhammad un Ras ul allah ï·º.' based on the light of Muhammad un Ras ul allah ï·º coming into existence and then that light being sent into the form and that form entering onto this earth . When we celebrate his holy birth ï·º we celebrate his love, his life, the message
, the Qur ' an, everything that light represents and aw li ya ullah come and teach in our lives that Allah will give you from that light into your heart because of that celebration. That you will be celebrating a light that goes into your heart. When you want that love and you want to celebrate that love, Allah grants you a gift
ï·º. We 're not raising Prophet ï·º higher, that station cannot be even understood. Allah raises us higher because we loved. When you love the right person you share in all their blessings and all their realities . And kh ay r al - K h alk i Allah, the best of Allah 's creation Muhammad ï·º. We pray that Allah always give us a life in which to see Rabbi al - Aw
wal open and that all our people all over the world in the celebrations of M awl id al - N abi ï·º, our celebrations in Pakistan, in India, in Canada, in Los Angeles in our new center and in Northern California and everywhere, Nigeria, everywhere we 're celebrating the mil ad everywhere we 're celebrating that love for Prophet
ï·º and encouraging people to celebrate wherever you are, celebrate in your home, celebrate in the different communities. And this is the greatest gift that Allah can grant, is a light and a love of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º to be granted into our hearts, into the hearts of our children , our families and our communities.
Allah give us a life in which to see the holy month open and to participate in its realities ins ha Allah. Bi hur m ati Muhammad al - M ust afa wa bi sir i Sur at al - F ati ha. Ins ha Allah before we break for Sal at ul Is ha and then our dinner we have any questions If you have, if not then we 'll break for your sal at al - ins ha Allah, the guests are hungry
. As - sal am u al ay kum Say y idi Wal ay kum as - sal am wa rah mat ullah M awl ana is there a significance to the age 40 if we were led to tar i q ah and guidance at this age? a significance to every number and the reality of 40 and 40 represents the me em and the value of the me em and this was the age of Say y id ina Mus a and receiving
the realities and to become Rush d. reach to 40 you 're now on a path to enter towards maturity. They say under 40 is still not mature. So it 's an important age so that the see ker when they become 40 years old then they are on a path to become mature and their life to be more serious and Allah begin to open realities within their
hearts ins ha Allah. So many many different realities of the number 40 and the representation of the Muh amm adan ha q q ai q because M im in the ab j ad its value is 40. Th ir teenth letter in the ab j ad with the value of three and one, four and second place with the nu q t. So it has a value of 40 ins ha Allah.
Th ir teenth letter and that 's why 13 is a very blessed number for tar i q ah s . Friday the 13 th is a very blessed day because Friday is a J umm ah and 13 represents the Muh amm adan ha q q ai q. But sh ait an doesn 't like Friday the 13 th so he makes scary movies because he 's scared of Friday the 13 th and he wants everybody to be scared because that 's
his a q id ah and his belief. everything that sh ait an shows it must be opposite and that 's how he makes his disc los ures . As sala am u al ay kum Say y idi Wal ay kum as sala am wa rah ma ht ullah M awl ana is there a connection between the dress of the cave and the h ud ur of the sh ay kh ? The dress of the month of the cave?
And the h ud ur of the sh ay kh? The dress of the cave? I don 't know. The cave and the reality of As hab al - K ah f that the tar i q ah is teaching that opens up on the month of Saf ar has to do with the ha q q ai q of entering the cave and we said that the Is a heart. So, the cave was symbolic of
leaving dun ya and running into the heart. Not that you 're not in dun ya but that your heart is not on dun ya. You may be very involved with dun ya matters but your heart is always inside, only through your heart you can connect with the heart of the sh ay kh s from their sh ay kh to their sh ay kh to the heart of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º.
Allah gave us a secret passage way through the q al b and the q al b has so much power, q al b al - m umin bay t ullah that the real house of Allah is the heart. So the Ka ' bah is a house that you made with your hands because they make every year they make repairs and fix but the house that Allah made
is your heart. He fashioned you and blew his light into you. heart is more powerful than that reality because it can contain the light of Allah the light of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º and the light of all whom you love. And Allah is with N abi ye en, Sid di q een, Shah ad ah and Sal ihin and Allah says
, ' I 'm with them and this is the best of people to be with.' And that only happens in the heart. So, everything in this path is based on entering the heart. So the cave is like a code word of, ' Go back into your heart and be from the people of the heart.' And that becomes the immense importance of tar i q ah that we 've
been teaching for the heart and ta f ak kur. Everything is based on connecting. We say that ' D een and religion is not for dun ya, is not for z ah ir and external people.' It doesn 't make any was sent as a reminder, ' You come from the world of light, don 't forget.' When people take off and don 't think anymore about the world of light and the mal ak ut and
paradise and heavens then de en became something very physical, very separated and very much something to fight and argue about. So, then it becomes sat anic. The complet eness of religion is based on spirituality. If you take spirituality out, it 's a corpse. Like looking at a dead body, there 's nothing there.
light. So religion without a soul, without light, without the practices of the heavens is something dead and then sh ait an enters into something dead and makes fit na and problems. So that 's why the world is in the condition now that none of the de ans now on this earth world of light. They forgot there 's a mal ak ut, they forgot about accounting, they
forgot about his a ab, they forgot about actions, they forgot about good character and because this is all under the effect of da j jal. So because of the da j jal time all of the external religions are contaminated by da j jal and people cave, ' W a d ha sab al - ka ' af ' were told, ' Run because
your ruler, your king, whoever you understand and who you 're with, he wants you to worship him.' They are but par as people. When their de en is external everything is but par as. different descriptions of that. If you take the light out of something what you left with? I don 't know what is structure, what 's the structure for?
It was the light in it that was important, it was the spirituality that was important , it was all of the world of mal ak ut that made everything to be important. that away then they become just from dun ya and that becomes the difficulties of what da j jal is doing upon the earth. The people of the cave and the people of the heavens is that everything is go back
into your heart, run from the belief of external people and run to your heart to make your find that love and keep the love of aw li ya and the love of Say y id ina Muhammad ï·º so that you can reach to that light and that that nur and that light and the world of mal ak ut begin to open within the heart of the servant.
