Asshahat Ya Rasulil Kareem, Ameen. I'm Iwaza billahi min shaitanirradhee. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Atiullah ati ya Rasulullah walil amrin minkum, and always a reminder for myself and abdukal ajisuh ta'ifuh, miskinu zalim, jaharam, but for the grace of Allah and that we are still in existence and that we took a path in which to be nothing.

Alhamdulillah that holy month of Muharram and described that this path is to destroy our idols and to leave idolatry and every vice and every bad character has an idol of a devil that sits within the soul or around the perimeter of that individual and pushes those characteristics and we don't want to think that we're traveling to our lord to the lord of power as an idol worshipper

We are asking to enter into the oneness and cleanliness and worshipness. The tariqahs and spiritual paths are a gift from the Divinely Presence that flow through the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ for all of eternity that come to the path of guidance friends so that these teachers can teach. And the first thing they teach is leave idolatry, leave all the lower lords that you have submitted

to knowing and unknowing, and as a result fight them. Don't fight people, na'hi wa munkar, that oh we come against what's wrong. but first leave hypocrisy because you have to come against what's wrong within ourselves, not to find problems in others and the errors and issues of others but to find our own errors,

our own issues and realize that those are all idols and 360 idols upon 360 lataif of every Every insan, every insan. You have 360 spiritual points that complete your circle and each of them has a bad character that mixed from the ego and the devil that sit upon them and begin to alter the character

of people inspire them in the six wrong directions and our life is to fight that fight the badness fight the bad character and struggle and nobody likes to struggle they want to hear about the reward and think that they can reach those rewards, no problem. But the reality is to understand the life of struggle, the life in which to come against

these characteristics, not allow an idol to appear for how can we move to the presence of our Lord with idols. And the precincts of the Haramein in Hijaz used to have a sign that no disbelievers and definitely no mushrikeen, those whom make partner and idolatry with Allah And we said that now everyone thinking of the external idolatry and thinking themselves

good, I'm clear to go, I'm off. And in reality it's not about the external and worrying about other people but to understand within ourselves because courses in khuluq character, courses in tariqah and following guidance have all but vanished, that whatever Sufism is out, is dispersed, is attacked

by external people. They don't want to hear the realities, they want to life of illusions. And the last thing Qur'an, have you seen those who make their desires their Lord? And that becomes again idolatry when your worshipness is to your desire. You don't want to hear about how to come against anger against every type of characteristic and you shut the functioning off and content with

bad character. As a result the tariqahs come to remind everything is the struggle. Every test, every difficulty, every issue that begins to happen in life when God gives them and guides people to the tariqahs and spiritual paths they begin to slow down and meditate. That process of meditation begins to realize all the difficulties and those difficulties have to

be resolved. The character has to be resolved, all the issues have to be faced. It's not something to pray away, it's not something to run away, it's something to face. And when we face the issue we begin to build the character, build the khuluk in which Allah wants, what Prophet ﷺ wants and how to resolve those issues with good character, with training and everything that

been taught. As a result of that, they are now presented on the reality of the hijrah And the reality of the movement of Prophet ﷺ is that the Muhammadan path is moving. At this door that the servant is brought to with the presence of the ulul albab, the servants of the gatekeepers into the city of knowledges. That the door and the threshold of that is the

reality of Imam Ali and lying in the bed, a life of self-sacrifice and a state of sleep like layl, a state of annihilation a state of tafakkur and contemplation because sleep is a symbol of meditation where you shut everything down but you are highly aware the breathing contemplating and understanding that my character my nobility is of a chivalry and knighthood that the innocence

of youthfulness that Imam Ali represents and a life of self-sacrifice. Sacrifice my time, time, my wealth, my life, my abilities, everything for Lillahi Rabbil Alameen, for the lord of all creation and his beloved messenger Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. This character, this way is the way of the tariqahs that they're supposed to be the

schools in which they teach chivalry and the way of knighthood, the way of when men and the training of rijal and that those rijal must be trained so that they can reach servanthood and to reached to the realities of Abdullah in which Allah to dress them with ancient knowledges and to be of service to the heavenly kingdom, in which they serve

Atiullah, Ati Rasul, and they become dressed as the realities of Ulul Amri minkum . This is the reality of servanthood and this is the reality of the highest state of our existence. And that path that Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ lays once we understand the reality that we have to take the character the dress and the way of Imam .

It's Nuri Madhab, it's the way of Ahlul Sunnah wa Jamaa' , it's the way of love, it's the way of the reality to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Once we understood that then the hijra and the movement that begins to move is now symbolic with the way of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq . Siddiq al-Mutlaq wa Khalil al-Rahman the beloved friend of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the absolute

truthful servant of the divine. That every step in this way of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ with the madad and the love of Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq al-Salam begins to teach us that this path is based on truthfulness. And we describe the truthfulness is not only the truthfulness of dunya where people try

not to make errors in saying something, oh I said this wasn't true, this wasn't true. but the immense reality of truth is that they were true to their love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That when they set this path and set this reality that I want to have the character of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq as-salam and the truthfulness that Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq as-salam is

be truthful to that love. Never cheat that love, never be dishonest to that love, never be disloyal to that love, never do anything to destroy that love. That becomes the essence of the secret of the way. When they truly understand that love is that your immense love for the Divinely Presence, immense love for Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and that the tariqah represents that and

that your loyalty is for that your love is for that your service is for that the khuluq and the character you have in every step should be exemplifying that so then no doubt those whom them represent that reality your whole character will be shown to them. Means the purpose of the, wa'ulul amr minkum is that the physical living guide that represents

this light and love of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq which represents the light and the love of Muhammadan Rasulullah ﷺ and as a result we make the path real. Ya Rabbi that guide me to these ulul aam as if my life is with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-siddiq whom is with the reality in the presence of Muhammadan Rasulullah ﷺ and as a result

my whole life's understanding is that every interaction will be based on that Siddiqua Mutlaq. You can't say no I can cheat these people. I can be dishonest and disloyal to these people. I can yell and disturb these people. I can bother these people because his teaching is, no you took an oath to be truthful to your love not to be dishonest and disloyal

and deceitful. You're not in the group of shayateen but you're in the presence of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. This is the hadith. Prophet ﷺ when he was teaching the holy companions and he taught the hadith al-Qudsi about do your fard and approach Allah with voluntary worshipness and then the dress you

would receive is that you would be seen from the sight of Allah , you be hearing from the hearing of Allah , breathing from the breath of Allah , touching from the hands of Allah and moving with the feet of Allah , so much so that you would be Rabbani'un and that you would say, «Kun faya kun» Immediately the Sahaba understood exactly

that Prophet ﷺ sees them with Allah seeing, Prophet ﷺ hears them with Allah's hearing. When Prophet ﷺ breathes and brings wahey it's with Allah's breath. When Prophet ﷺ touches them they know that Allah has touched them. Every step and movement that Prophet ﷺ moved they knew this was the way of Allah without a doubt, without any,

And this was validated many times they said, «Ya Rasulullah ﷺ what you forbade us we forbidden, what you told for us halal we made to be halal, we would live and die walking in your path». This what makes them kiram and honored servants of the Divine but they knew that reality as soon When this Prophet ﷺ would teach and speak to them they knew the haqqaiq of it and realised

that the one that they're in front of as if Allah sees them hears them and is speaking to them. And it's not difficult it's actually should be obvious that when the physicality leaves itself and its bad characteristics, enlightens itself with the light of the Divine then it becomes a vehicle for the Divinely Presence.

And this is the objective of servanthood, be a vehicle for the Divinely Presence. And as a result they govern themselves as if they were in Allah's presence. They knew that whatever they did Allah seeing them in the presence of Prophet ﷺ. Even so Allah would clarify the characteristic that don't raise your voice in his presence

ﷺ. Why? Because they are in the Divinely Presence of Allah ﷺ. Allah's light flowing through Prophet ﷺ. Allah's fire flowing through the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. The physicality no longer exists but what exists in that reality in the presence of these companions is La ilaha illallah because they're in the presence of Muhammadun

Rasulallah ﷺ. Many came saw nothing, saw this gentleman from the desert because they have eyes where they don't see and they had ears but they didn't hear. But those whom Allah guided and they became the holy companions, they had eyes and they did see, they had ears and they did hear. and as a result they operated through their soul and they understood through the world of light

that if you look past the physicality of this noble messenger of the Divine the presence all that's transmitting is a light from God. And as a result Sayyidina Abu Bakr the Siddiq is coming to teach, be truthful to that light, don't cheat the light as if you cheating Allah and His Rasul. Don't exhibit the bad characteristics. Don't be angry. Don't be vile.

Don't be… all the things that you would be doing in the presence of shaytan don't do them in the presence of Atiyahullah, Atiyah Rasul, or Ulul Amr Minkum. Have value for something in your life everything else you disvalue and discredit and bring down to be nothing, but something has to have a value in your life that represents the divine.

And that became the concept of the guides that they represent the love of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and this is their way to show that love, to be in the presence of that love, to gain the eyesight and the nazar of that love, to do a khidmat for that love and as a result all of that is as if they're in the presence of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and all of that

as if they're in the presence of, La ilaha illallah. Because, true tauhid is back to the source. Because, who sees through the shaykh's eyes and the ulul amr? Allah is given His seeing. Who hears? It's Allah whose hands is Allah's whose feet and movement of that servant it's moving that servant is Allah . Allah moves every servant imagine those whom he has placed his love

and his trust upon them as a result the hijrah is based on that that if you take this step tariqa is called the path tariqa means path so we said there's going to be levels of knowledge As soon as you take a step on the path you're stepping like Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and following Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ.

To be the beloved, to exhibit all the characteristics of how Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq exhibited it his love for Prophet ﷺ and that his truthfulness to that love in every aspect of his life was the goal. And the goal was to reach the world of light called Madinatul Munawwara. But Allah says, it's not like that and as a result there's a story of the cave.

As they set out for Madinatul Munawwara Allah placed the cave that they were to go to. The importance of caves. The cave is symbolic and has a reality that this way into the world of light has to go through a cave, and that cave represents the heart of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. Because you go to a cave to seek refuge from every badness and every bad characteristic. We said that

But most people think they're operating from Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem forward but they don't even understand the a'uzubillah. The cave is the secret of a'uzubillah, that you're setting out on this path of truth and setting out that, no longer I want to be a servant of the devil, a servant of my

desires, a hypocrite and an idol worshipper. And as a result then Allah guides us, direct yourself to the cave. And the shaykhs tell you that, there's nobody outside in a masjid telling you, and that's when we keep saying you think you're guided, but Allah says you're not guided unless we send you guidance and light and next month's surah, Surat al-Kahf is

waliyun murshidun. We have not given you waliyun murshidun and if you've not been given that you've not been given a light. The path of these realities, the path of Naqshbandiyatul Aliya is based on Waliyun Murshidun. Why? Because they're inheriting this light and this reality to teach us that this path you're

setting on and this path of realities that you're moving on and your tariqah is your path that every step is in the way of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ with the khuluq and the character and the reality of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiqah and enter into the heart of Prophet ﷺ. And as a result of being told that by these awliya because you say, what cave I'm going

to go?' It's the same thing they're teaching you. Where are you going to get, أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم? Where are you going to seek refuge in Allah from the accursed devil? Through you? Through your home? Where is it that you're going to seek refuge? And there is no refuge. There is no refuge in this earth from the accursed one

one except one whom was granted refuge which is the presence of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. I say, where are you going? You're running under this, you're running over there, you do this, you sit in your own, you, where are you going to be? The devil's sitting right there next to you. And the reality of A'uzu Billahi is seek refuge and go from the accursed one, the easiest

This refuge is the one whom already been dressed by that protection. And that's why Allah gave in Quran, Holy Quran. I would not punish them with the devil except that they, because they are making istighfar and they are in your presence Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. Sawla came to teach us that you have to keep the presence of Prophet ﷺ a shield, a companionship

from the accursed one and all his minions and all his demons and all his difficulties. And as a result they understood that we have to be with Prophet ﷺ, we have to have the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because Imam Ali ﷺ told us we have to love him more than we love ourselves. We have to have the character of Imam Ali ﷺ.

the significance of the example of Imam Ali and then the companionship of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq that then let's step every step with that reality every step with that truthfulness and seeking the cave and this is the twelve months of Shams al-Arafin to reach to the reality of that cave. And as soon as they approach the cave, every example of the cave

that Prophet ﷺ gave to us with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq through Surah Tawbah. I believe it's Surah 9 verse 40 and that they were not alone the two, they were in a cave that Allah opens through the gateway of Holy Quran all these realities. And in our lives we'll come to the cave of Prophet ﷺ, this is the intention Ya Rabbi

that I want to be in the presence of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that becomes the power of the durud-sharif and the salawat upon Prophet ﷺ. Every time you make durood as-shareef and salawat upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ your soul is going towards that heart. And as a result from that heart ten salawats are coming back means, you're sending your

soul to that vicinity and your soul is being dressed by infinite realities. And the more you do that the more you're being dressed. The more you do that the more you're being dressed, as if your existence is by that holy heart, continuously being dressed, continuously being blessed. The cave has many symbols.

One that veiled shaitan from that cave was a spider web. The reality of 29 which is a reflection of 92, and 92 in huroof is Muhammad, and 29 is the Lam Alif means this is the gate of the Ulul Albab. the one whom carries the lam alaf, Imam . That right there the ankabut is a symbol that Allah gives the Surah 29 the symbol of that

spider web. And as a result, they understood that my life has to be like that spider, my rizq, my sustenance, my protection from devils seeing me is my awrad. You're asking to be in the cave, to be protected from shayateen so that you can reach to the world of light, then you don't do the awrad. When you don't do the awrad they would have come to the cave,

the devils and they would have seen Prophet ﷺ and they immediately would have entered and attacked him in a cave . So then you think that if you don't do your awrad you'll be attacked, you'll be attacked severely. As soon as you don't do the awrad you will be attacked, As soon as you don't do the awrad you are under the visible or the vision of shi'ateen.

You are not securing your existence in the heart by the way that Prophet ﷺ gave to us. How can Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and the great Siddiq of Allah saved by a web and a spider web, but we find it not to be necessary every difficulty, every sickness, every hardship will move through. As a result the tariqah comes says, recite these awrahs, recite these wazifahs and this

is your life. As a result it is your protection, it is you keeping within the heart of Prophet ﷺ. And every reality and dress will flow through that. And the reality that was in front of that cave were two eggs. That this heart that you're in is the king of mulki wa malakut. That whatever sustenance of your physical world is under his dominion and all the sustenance

of your spiritual existence is completely under his dominion ﷺ. ﷺ. And we described that Allah the one whom grants and Prophet ﷺ described anaqasim , the one whom distributes. Why? Because everything is under la ilaha illallah Allah gives and Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ dispenses and distributes. To all the angels, all the jinn, all the insan, all creation that known and unknown to people,

all of it must be distributed under the kalima La ilaha illallah Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. This is the key for every reality. And as a result they understood this is the door, this is the way, there is nothing but that then their life is all now in the cave. every khidmat, every awrad, every zikr, every event, everything is their soul's existence

in the heart of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. And they visualize themselves with their soul that the light of their soul in the heart of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and in that heart was a hole and every heart has a spot on it and from that spot shayatin can enter. again like a worm it'll enter into the heart of the servant I said that the shayateen will

come onto your back you know your back is itchy because all these nefarious creatures they're fearful of the believers face and heart and they fly and land upon the shoulders of insan And they put their long beak into the back and from the back they enter into the black clot within the heart, the dirtiness that left within the heart of people.

That clot was taken out when Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ was a child. When Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ was a child and was with Sayyidatina Amina, Sayyidatina the nursemaid, Haleema. And he ran out and said that Sayyidina Jibreel ﷺ came opened his chest and took something from that chest. Also giving the example of open heart surgery that that clot, that piece of flesh purified,

perfected, Sayyidina Jibril washed that heart with all its realities and closed back the chest of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ to be the perfect example of this reality and all of us have that doorway in which shayateen can enter into the heart and make nifak and make hypocrisy and bad characteristics within the heart of servants.

And the example of that heart and this path is the only one whom can protect you on this path into the heart of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ is Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiqah . Because in that story of the cave there was a hole and that Prophet ﷺ in the cave with Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq , and Prophet ﷺ wanted to rest and he put his

head upon the lap, the leg, the knee of Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq while they were resting within the cave and Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq's right foot he saw a hole and the head of a snake coming up and as a result he immediately put his heel to cover that hole and not to awaken Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ's rest. And he said that the snake was gnawing at his flesh

And the haqqaiq that Awliya came to teach is that there's no way to fortify your heart if your qadam and your feet are not on the feet of Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. If you're not following the way of truthful love, loyal love and good character and honesty be loyal to the love of Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and through our lives we've seen the most

disloyal love you can imagine. People whom make nasheets and spread lies against shaykhs. You can't imagine and it's exact opposite of what Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq represents that That with these group of people who represent Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ, they're like a garden of roses and you can't enter into any of their gardens, crush it, smash it or

say anything against it. You've got to keep your mouth shut. That anyone that you open your mouth to, you are disloyal to that love, you are disrespectful to that love, and you be cast out of that garden of love. Because it's against what Sayyidina Abu Bakr Siddique is saying. He said all of these roses are fi'ikum.

The Holy Qur'an describes Prophet ﷺ fi'ikum that he is with you and amongst you not only spiritually but through the presence of a hundred and twenty-four thousand awliyaullah that all represent Muhammad ﷺ upon this earth and they are amongst you and they are with you. And as a result, the Siddiqiyah character is don't be disloyal to

them, don't be dishonest to them, don't be deceitful to them, don't be rude to them, don't do anything to them and as if you did it against Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ and they don't care if you were ignorant of that, you just will not achieve anything and Yawm al-Mashar they will remind you of what you said and what you did. Those whom were successful on their path

they were tested by other Muhammadans and tested and tested and tested and they remained silent And they cast their head down and said nothing. Because all of them are Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ. If Muhammadun Rasulullah ﷺ want to take me, beat me, smash me, throw me, then alhamdulillah at least he chose me.

Otherwise, if you're dog you are cast out. If you're a wild beast you're cast out. Everything about that reality that Sayyidina Abu Bakr as-Siddiq is addressing is that through the qadam of the Siddiq, keep your feet like My feet, that take the path of a truthful servant true in their love and in their service to Muhammad bin Rasulallah ﷺ and as a result

I will shield you from the shaitan coming out. These are the servants of Qadam al-Siddiq, Qadam al-Haqq is Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, Qadam al-Siddiq is Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq And every other is trying to be a muqaddam, inheritors of the path. And the greatest protection against and that's the reality of Auzubillah is to be in the

heart of Prophet ﷺ and take the path of the great Siddiq, Sayyidina Abu Bakr as Siddiq. with the support and the love of Imam Ali's khuluq and character they complete this reality and that's why it's called Nashbandiyatul Aliyyah and it was called Siddiqiyyah from Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. This is a gift from the heart of Prophet ﷺ, for those wishing to

seek it. Those who want everything on the surface they miss it. Those whom spend their life moving too fast they miss it. Those whom are guided by the Divine slow down, meditate, contemplate they may see it. And as a result if Allah gives them the directions, the ability, the knowledges, the opportunity then this is a great opportunity to enter into that cave

of realities. After that the servant is responsible for what they do with that reality. Either they enter the garden and prosper from the immense fragrance of the Muhammadan way or they begin to trample upon every reality and it become a cursing upon their head for all of eternity. Subhana rabbika rabbal izzati amma yasifun was salaamuna al mursaleen

walhamdulillahi rabbil alameen. Bi hurmati Muhammad al-Mustafa bi siri Suratul Fatiha. Wa Ya Rasulil Kareem. Amen. InshaAllah. What have we got from our SMC families, guests that are joining online inshaAllah, lots of service, lots of khidmat, lots of support. Please support the masjid, please sponsor the masjid, sponsor the plaques for the masjid

support. Sponsor the milad ﷺ that we have everywhere. We have in Pakistan, in India, in Vancouver, in Los Angeles our main one and in northern California, in Kenya, Nigeria, We are wherever Allah open for us to support the Mila the Nabi ﷺ with our people with our programs and alhamdulillah support those programs with water wells, food services,

food distribution services where we pick up hundreds of thousands of pounds every year of food that was headed for the trash. Good food, prime food, perfected food as a gift from Allah . A gift from Allah that you look in the bounty of Allah because these businesses in other countries they have no concept of this.

They don't even know what we're even talking about. They'll eat to the last drop what they have. But these countries if the fruit getting a little bit the day before the something gonna happen or the day or four five days before they don't wanna even have it on the shelves. And they just get rid of everything.

They either throw them, give to different groups. So alhamdulillah with the immense barakah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, dua of awliya Allah, we have six, seven vans around the world picking up. and in the western world picking up from food groups and food franchises, big box stores, thousands of pounds, thousands of pounds of food where now people are lining up to get the food,

feed their families, feed their children. In a world now that people can't even pay their rent, more or less pay for the extremely high cost of food and anything that comes from Allah comes amazing – steaks, meats, lobsters whatever you want is in these things that just astonishing how Allah's bounty just overflowing.

So alhamdulillah for those whom support, support the trucks, the insurance, the guys to go out and to help to do it and the paperwork everything that's associated with that is under the blessings of people whom are supporting. So, everything we do is to make the faith to be real and to show that this is the Muhammadan love ﷺ in action and moving inshaAllah.

As-Salaamu Alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Mawlana, what are… you gave the example of trampling on the roses. What are other examples of being disloyal to that love so that we may avoid them? I don't know, you've got to think of yourself. Anything you can imagine that's disloyal is disloyal.

Anything you think is rude, talk bad about it, anything you do and say in the Muhammadan garden, be careful, be very careful. And some people follow shaykhs and curse another shaykh. and say horrible, horrible things. And they see that this guy all he talks about is Muhammad and Rasulullah ﷺ you have no

head absolutely no brain in your head that you're doing that. And you think you're going where and you think you're gaining whose nazar and you think which wali would be happy with that in the presence of Prophet ﷺ. That imagine sitting in a council of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ you say are you teaching all

your students to say these awful things like they're dogs and beasts? And no shekha say, yeah, no, I told them to do that. So where they get this character from because they're just wild haywans. Everyone now is just a wild animal but seem to talk so they call us talking animals. We are not the enzahn from paradise. Everybody came onto this earth now and they're

just talking planet of the apes. They're saying things, crazy things. They're going to a chat group and they're cursing, cursing, cursing a shaykh who has ijazah. Means the Prophet ﷺ signed it then the shaykh signed it. So people are just, you know, you give them enough rope they can find a way to hang themselves. So that's the danger of the last days and that's why the

danger of shayateen and that's why you have to meditate. And the people whom have students like that they're not teaching their students to meditate, they're not teaching their students to have good khuluq and good character. And in previous times when the shaykhs were real and the shaykhs had the Ishq and love

of Prophet ﷺ they taught in immense manners to their students and they taught their students that anywhere you go and you see tariqah those are gardens. fragrance and their adab and how they talk they would say, from what rose garden are you taking your fragrance? We say such and such shaykh and say, oh mashaAllah pray for me and they'd go their way.

They wouldn't say anything insulting, it's all a Muhammadan garden, all the love of Prophet ﷺ emanating. So we live in a very, very, very bad time. So, try not to think of all the ways you can do bad things and say bad things, it's very clear. Just those things are never to be done, never to be said. And live a life

of service and khidmat and when you come across those dogs of shayateen ignore them and go. Don't engage, don't watch. Some people like to go, oh this guy said like this. You are now as guilty as that person because you heard it and now you spread it. Allah will ask you why did you sit there to hear it? So, when it happens, move away. Some sickness is there. Imagine then if this was

a sickness and you're not understanding bad talk and bad character and they told you ta'oon was there. Oh, there's a plague in that room. Would you go in the room to find out what kind of plague that is? No. Hey, who's got the plague here? Woo, the plague. You're not going to leave without the plague. You'll be dead. But for some reason, the bad character likes to go somewhere where they're

saying bad things. Maybe your inner desire also bad. Oh, I'd like to hear this. I'd like to hear that. How could you hear that? When we were young, there was siyas. You know, shaitan had his is Nazar. Mawlana would say, go to all these different Jummas because we wanted people to come to our zikr in Los Angeles.

Go to all these different Jummas. I would sit in the Jumma and all of a sudden the guy would look at me and start saying crazy things. I just get up from the middle of the Jumma and go after the imam. So he said, one more thing I'm going to get you and I'm going to throw you off the man bar. I'm going to sit right here in front of you.

He said, are you crazy? I said, if you talk like that yeah, yeah, don't you open your mouth again like that. And then I would just sit there with my turban, my jop on everything and keep looking at his face because for me it was no way he's going to say like that and what am I going to be accountable for now.

so no no life it didn't happen often assalamu alaykum shaykh alaykum salaam say with regards to the black spot on the heart yes if we live a life of heedlessness does this black spot transfer grow to different parts of our body become multiple entry points to shaitan Yeah, everything is an entry point to shaitan but where you don't want it is in the heart

because that's your central command. So shaitan enters through your legs, your organs, everywhere. Everywhere is open festivities for him but the heart has to be sanctified and if he enters into the heart then every type of difficulty, anger, qadab and kufr begin to happen within the heart of the servant.

So everywhere else is of a lesser concern but to safeguard the heart. And that's why we started off with the heart is Ka'bah . So are there shaytans around the haramayn? When you go for Hajj they're pickpocketers while you're making tawaf. Why? Well shaitan is everywhere. So you're trying to say that inside the Kaaba has to be purified.

So the heart of the servant has to be pure. Don't let haram enter the heart. Don't let hatred and intentional hatred enter the heart where you want to cause harm, where you want to cause difficulty, that has to be kept out of the heart, inshallah. As-salamu alaykum Sayyidi Walaykum salaam wa rahmatullah

Ma'ala, we've received this message and similar messages quite often in the past few weeks. They're asking regarding hadith and different types of aqiks and stones, etc. Might be coming from a New Age understanding, but they're wondering, is there any place for that in energy practices in Islam?

Yeah, we have articles on the website that first fortify yourself, your meditation, your connection. A stone is not going to help you if your connection with the sheikh is not there so you put stones around they're not going to jump up and grab you and help you so most important is first make your connection understand sufi meditation understand the concept

of visualizing a shaykh don't have a spirit guide an unseen guide because that's going to open up to something you can't imagine that won't be pleasant you have to have a guide that you see so you see the sheikh you hear the teachings you say my heart resonates with that if it doesn't go to the next

page and if your heart does resonate then you have to visualize and then meditate and calibrate your heart that every time you meditate and you're like getting the wrong information you go back to his video and say he doesn't speak like that so shaitan is interfering with your meditation because you need a living guide and that's why you need a living guide is

because you watch the teachings and say this is not the right inspiration so shaitans are hijacking your connection and sending you fuzzy logic where everything is being interfered with and then they teach you how to meditate and what subjects to ask. Don't ask dunya subjects ask only about the heavens, that I want to be nothing send me light and send me energy,

not what this, not about that, not to who I should be with, who I should not be with, what I should do like this, it's not a phone that you're going to now start chatting with. You keep the respect of the connection and it's only for the heavens and the annihilation of Yourself that I want to be nothing, dress me from light and energy.

So we have it all written on how to do it, how to use it, and how to build the connections inshaAllah. Assalamu alaykum Seyyidi Walaykum as salaam wa rehmatullah Just a message of thanks that one of your students has reverted and was able to quit smoking after nineteen years. Thanks to your teaching.

What can we expect to face or feel with energies in these next Holy Days leading up to Holy Ashura and the great sacrifice of Imam Hussain. Are there any specific practices that we should focus on. Yeah, just the meditation and contemplation that connect your heart, make your connection, make your meditation and think about the immense sacrifice of Imam al-Husayn

and all the difficulty of the family that endured that sacrifice and you meditate and visualize yourself in the desert, in their tent, a black tent in the desert, and understand how much these holy people sacrificed. And it's humbling because every time we think we have difficulty and we're upset and nobody, everyone thinks their problems are the worst problems in the world.

And then as soon as you meditate instead there can be nothing like this, there can be nothing like this. That they're sitting in a tent with all the children and everyone and they're just being slaughtered left and right, left and right. And everything in your life becomes insignificant and that's why you love them that's why you rely on their nazar and their sacrifice.

that you whom have such immense faith that keep your nazar upon me and send your dress and lights upon me inshaAllah. And that's why that love grows and the love and the respect for their reality. And they were not fooled into going they knew exactly what they were doing. That is character, or somebody fools you on the road, oh where do you come from?

That just means you got trapped, but to know something was difficult and face it and move forward with all your family, these are the symbols of the men of God. That can be no greater symbol of that reality. That's why he's called Sayyid al-Shuhada. He's the master of all those whom are mushahada of seeing and those whom have martyred themselves

in the way of God. So, there can be no spiritual vision without Imam al-Husayn signing your certificate. So, these are great, great personalities and realities and alhamdulillah. So, we have many many many videos. You can go through our YouTube, the playlists for Karbala, Muharram and go through them, listen to them. We have I think some recitations

that you can meditate through and inshaAllah. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, Sayyidina. Wa alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. In attempt to draw closer to Imam Hussain could you expand on the teachings of minhi wa minhum in relation to fiqum? Yeah that's a whole ninth talk.

Go back to the videos, go to the AI, ask the question and it will give you the articles, three articles in which that appeared in the videos everything. And watch the videos, watch the realities, the teachings. InshaAllah. Surah Al-Rabbi Krabili İzzetine Mâ Yasifun ve Selâmü'ne Al-Mursaleen ve Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Ailemin

Ila Şrefi Al Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallamu Alaihi Wasallamu Alaihi Wasallamu Alaihi Wasallamu Alaihi Wasallamu Wa Alaihi Wasallamu Wa Wa Al-Meshaykhina Fi Tariqatan Ashbandiyat Al-Aliya Wa Sayyirafu Sadatina Siddiqiina Al-Fatiha

. Inshallah. Whenever they called the beginning of Muharram, on the 9th of Muharram is fasting for the 10th. So I think they're saying it's coming Wednesday. if it started on the 15th or wherever you are Thursday. Ashura is a ahshanura, is a granting of light and Allah grant salvation and every nation saved on Ashura.

That Allah accept the repentance of Sayyidina Adama on Ashura and that Allah accepted the prayers of Sayyidina Nuh and allowed the ship to find land on Ashura. And then Sayyidina Musa was freed from Faraon and the parting of the Red Sea on Ashura. Sayyidina Isa was raised into the heavens and saved from deception and deceit and all

the treachery on Ashura. And that Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ entered into the city of lights on Ashura. And that Imam al-Husayn sacrificed his life and the life of 72 family members and friends and people whom would accompany him on Ashura and a great sacrifice and intercession for the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That the ultimate of salvation and repentance

and forgiveness is that they would intercede for the 72 groups of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ that would go astray and the one that would stay true in the way of Imam Imam al Hussain and the way of character, goodness and all these teachings is the way of Imam al Hussain , self-sacrifice and do what you do for the love of Allah ,

love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and be truthful to that love that Ashura is a great opening, a great time of forgiveness from the Divine, the presence and that we're entering through Babu Tawbah. Try to do the goodness, try to do fasting, try to give and be generous, try to do all the things necessary to gain the nazar of the Divine and the nazar of Sayyidina

Muhammad ﷺ and live a life accompanying the ulul Amr whom represent that reality and completely teach about that reality inshaAllah. That Allah accept our duas for Ashura and that these 10 days to be dressed and blessed and that to be under the nazar of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ holy companions, ahlul bayt

and the nazar of Imam Al-Hussein and the holy shohadaya Karbala that their nazar be upon us, their lights be upon us, their love be upon us, our families, our loved ones and inshaAllah that the night of Ashura we have a program. We'll have our recitation our zikrs from here and in Shallah recitation of the names of the shohadai Karbala

inshallah. Hormati Muhammad al-Mustafa, basirah surit al-Fatiha. And Ya Rasul Kareem inshallah they fast on the 9th and 10th inshallah. Thank you very much Allah dress everyone, bless everyone and pray for me inshallah always. Thank you.
