Alhamdulillah<\/i>\u00a0Allah showed His different ways to him. It depends on the person\u2019s different capabilities what he wants to choose. Some choose this way, some chose that way. Some might choose from the east, some from the west, some might choose to go straight forward, but all of them end up in the same place. That is why spirituality in Islam is very important, because it tries to bring everyone to be at least in one part a Muslim. Even if he is not yet ready Muslim, but spirituality allows the person to become a Muslim in some form or another. Because Allah does not look at our pictures but He looks at our hearts. \u2018 \u2018a<\/p>\n
And the saying goes,\u00a0ma wasi\u2019anee ardi wa laa sama\u2019ee wa laakin wasi\u2019anee qalbi \u2018abdee al-mu\u2019min \u2013 neither My earth could contain Me nor my Heaveans, but the heart of My believing servant contains Me.<\/i><\/p>\n
The heart is the manifestation of the Divine Presence. And that manifestation is very important because it does not differentiate.<\/p>\n
For example the Prophet (s) came 1425 years ago, if we go by Hijri years or 1400 years ago current era.<\/p>\n
What about the people of China, Islam did not reach them at that time and the Prophet (s) came. What will happen to them when they die? Islam did not reach them at that time. Or some people in America, here, the Indians. What will happen to these people?<\/p>\n
That is why everything depends on intention. If the intention is good, Allah\u2019s Mercy is over these people, regardless of their belief.<\/p>\n
Even Sayyidina Musa (as) came 5000 years ago and he came in a very small area between Palestine and Egypt. Even Sayyidina Ibrahim (as). What about people in Siberia, what about\u00a0 people in India? Do you think that Allah did not send them someone?<\/p>\n
That is why, I heard it from Grandshaykh Abdullah, when you begin to go into spiritual meditation you being to get visions and inspirations. These inspirations are like a shining sun. [If you want to give them tea you can.]<\/p>\n
Abdul Munim: that is part of their\u00a0tariqat<\/i>\u00a0belief, that Allah did not leave anyone without sending the truth to them?<\/p>\n

That is why guidance, wherever there are human beings, or wherever there are children of Adam, there must be guidance there. Or else there will be no justice on earth.<\/p>\n Allah swt did not create Adam and Hawwa, Eve, and send them to earth without showing them the right way.<\/p>\n When they were in heavens, in that Presence, they had guidance, Allah guided them. \u201cYou have this whole heaven for you. But I am prohibiting, forbidding you from that tree.\u201d<\/p>\n So guidance is something that shows you the good to follow and tells you about the bad that you don\u2019t need to follow. So guidance is like a two-way, like a two-edged sword or knife. It has two edges. Allah swt showed you what you have to follow and that is one edge and the other edge is He told you \u201cThis is bad, so don\u2019t follow it.\u201d<\/p>\n \u0641\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0644\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0641\u064f\u062c\u064f\u0648\u0631\u064e\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u062a\u064e\u0642\u0652\u0648\u064e\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u0623\u064e\u0641\u0652\u0644\u064e\u062d\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u0632\u064e\u0643\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0642\u064e\u062f\u0652 \u062e\u064e\u0627\u0628\u064e \u0645\u064e\u0646 \u062f\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0651\u0627\u0647\u064e\u0627<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Fa alhamaha fujuraha wa taqwaaha.

[91:8-10]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Allah said, He inspired the self.\u00a0Alhama<\/i>\u00a0in Arabic means revealed or inspired. He inspired the self, the\u00a0nafs, Fa alhamaha fujuraha wa taqwaaha, fujuraha\u00a0<\/i>is its corruption. How can Allah inspire corruption? But Allah said in Holy Qur\u2019an,\u00a0Fa alhamaha fujuraha<\/i>, He inspired in the self, showing it what is wrong and immediately He put guidance of what is wrong and the grand finale is\u00a0taqwa<\/i>, piety.<\/p>\n It means \u201cAre your final days, when you have done wrong going to end good?\u201d How do they end? Well?<\/p>\n He inspired the self with what is bad, but the grand finale is what He wants for us,\u00a0taqwa<\/i>.<\/p>\n Allah said, in a\u00a0qudsi<\/i>\u00a0hadith, \u201cMy mercy overrides My anger.\u201d\u00a0Taqwa<\/i>\u00a0overrides corruption. That is why it is the responsibility of the guide to give us guidance. Or if we are left to ourselves, we might be falling into\u00a0fujoor<\/i>, corruption. We might not fall into the category of\u00a0taqwa<\/i>.<\/p>\n If we fall into category of\u00a0fujoor<\/i>, let us say, how do we end as He wants us to end, in\u00a0taqwa<\/i>? He said,\u00a0qad aflaha man zakaaha.<\/i>\u00a0\u201dThe one who built up\u00a0taqwa<\/i>\u00a0in himself and purified himself is the winner.\u201d<\/p>\n To do that by yourself you need guidance. If there is no guidance, then how can the Children of Adam go along with what Allah revealed in the Holy Qur\u2019an in Surat ash-Shams.<\/p>\n That is why guidance is an adjective \u2013 it describes someone whose way of talking and speaking is an example, is a way to guide. Islam is not anarchy. It is not a chaotic system. It is a hierarchy.<\/p>\n The communists were totalitarian, where the government tries to control everything in your life. Islam is not totalitarian. Allah swt gave you principles and wants to save you at the end. That is how he structured 124,000 prophets. And the top of the pyramid is Sayyidina Muhammad (s). Sayyidina Adam (as) is the base. Where are the 124,000 prophets? We know how many mentioned in the Holy Qur\u2019an. How many mentioned in Qur\u2019an? 25 in Holy Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n There are 313 messengers, that are not mentioned. Some are messengers. These are messenger-prophets. And the rest are prophets. Where are they?<\/p>\n So when Allah said,\u00a0Fa alhamaha fujuraha wa taqwaaha,<\/i>\u00a0\u201cHe inspired the ego with what is corrupt and inspired it with what is good?<\/i>\u201d Did He not send most prophets to the area of Palestine and Egypt and Makkah, Madinah? Is this the whole world? Adam\u2019s children are everywhere. Where are these prophets and why don\u2019t we have answer about them. We don\u2019t find examples of them in history. But they existed.<\/p>\n Thus Allah swt will not leave a person without a guide in even 24 hours. So in spirituality, even someone on top of a mountain cannot be left without a guide.<\/p>\n One\u00a0wali<\/i>, for after the Prophet Muhammad (s) there are no more prophets, but there are inheritors, they are\u00a0awliya<\/i>. These inheritors of the\u00a0anbiya<\/i>, these\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0are roaming the world. Like you go around the world and the phone is roaming with you.\u00a0Awliya<\/i>\u00a0are roaming the world. There must be, even on top of a mountain, or in a jungle or in a desert, there must be one\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0who must appear to look you in your face and go.<\/p>\n That is the duty of the\u00a0Qutb al-mutasarrif<\/i>. Allah gave five\u00a0qutbs<\/i>\u00a0power on earth and they are taking from one of the five great prophets (ulul-\u2018adham<\/i>).<\/p>\n Five\u00a0qutbs<\/i>\u00a0are looking after every detail, just as a doctor looks on every detail in your body. Allah assigns these five\u00a0qutbs<\/i>\u00a0to look at every detail of human beings. Under them are 124000\u00a0wali<\/i>. They have been assigned around the world, to reach every person, or else there will be no Divine Justice. Everyone must be guided.<\/p>\n These\u00a0awliyaullah<\/i>\u00a0are looking wherever people are around the world, coming and looking into them. So that his why Allah said,\u00a0fa man tabi\u2019a hudaya\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n Allah is sending guidance, to purify you and show you the right way.<\/p>\n There is a physical guide that appears to you or is a physical\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0that you can see him, you sit with him and speak with him. And there are\u00a0awliyaullah<\/i>\u00a0that you cannot see, they are hidden, but spiritually they are working on the hearts of people from far away.<\/p>\n When the Prophet went into Isra\u2019 and Mi\u2019raj, he reached a place that archangel Gabriel could not go, and he said, \u201cYou go on your own now, I cannot go further or I will be burned!\u201d<\/p>\n He went and reached a place that Allah swt sent him revelation, \u201cYa Muhammad (s), I created creation for you. And I sent you as a messenger for your nation. And you are a messenger for every nation, but for you the time is now for your nation on earth. And Ya Muhammad (s), this is your nation, I am giving it to you as a trust; do you like to take it?\u201d<\/p>\n And who is the Ummah of the Prophet (s)? I am asking you now.<\/p>\n [Muslim people]<\/p>\n Muslims are not the only nation of Sayyidina Muhammad (s). When Jesus (as) came, he came for everyone in his time, when Musa (as) came, he came for all the people in his time. When Sayyidina Muhammad (s) came, he came for all people. That is why scholars say the Ummah is divided into two parts:\u00a0Ummat al-ijaba wa Ummat ad-da\u2019wah. Ummat al-ijaba\u00a0<\/i>are those who accepted what the Prophet (s) told them. The\u00a0Ummat ad-da\u2019wah<\/i>\u00a0are those who did not yet accept. The whole creation is his Ummah.<\/p>\n Allah showed him, \u201cThis is your Ummah, ya Muhammad (s).\u201d And he showed him their souls. This is teachings of\u00a0awliyaullah<\/i>. This is like Uwaysi teaching. There are two kinds of teaching one you read through books and one that comes to\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0through their hearts through their visions, and they teach it. As I explained about Sayyidina Ahmad al-Badawi, saints teach them that knowledge<\/p>\n So Allah showed him those people, those souls and showed them in their taqwa, in perfect obedience. All in perfect worship. You think Allah created soul and they are not in constant worship. They are created from\u00a0Bahr al-qudrah<\/i>, heavenly sources. These souls are pure.<\/p>\n What you think a pure soul will do in that Presence? It will be in constant worship. These souls, Allah\u2019s\u00a0\u2018ibaad<\/i>, servants, were in constant worship when they were in their places before coming into that body. When they came into the bodies, the body holds them hostage, like someone kidnapped.<\/p>\n This is not an academic lecture. Academic teachings, as I like to say, are always\u00a0qaala wa<\/i>\u00a0qeel<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cThis one said this and this one said that.\u201d Those scholars look into books and see what was said and present it. This is something that will not give fruit. It is only describing the fruit, but it is not tasting. Tasting is a completely different way \u2013 they are so different from each other.<\/p>\n We have knowledge that came to us through thousands of years. But what are you expecting of today\u2019s spiritual knowledge? It must be continually progressing. That is coming through heart visions that are not recorded in books. Unfortunately today there are very few such saints that can get such knowledge. The rest are\u00a0qeel wa Qaala<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 \u201che said and she said.\u201d<\/p>\n So let us go back. When Allah gave these souls to the Prophet (s), Allah showed him how they were when they were in the Heavenly Presence, in constant worship, before they were created as human beings. They were fully in constant worship.<\/p>\n And He said, \u201cDo you accept them, do you keep them in trust to Judgment Day?\u201d They were very pure, very sincere. The entire Ummah of the Prophet (s),\u00a0Ummat al-ijaba\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Ummat ad-da\u2019wah.<\/i><\/p>\n As soon as he said, \u201cYes, I take them,\u201d and he accepted that trust\u2026. What do you do when you are given a trust? You try to put in the best place, not to be stolen. As soon as he took them, Allah showed him how much they are going to be corrupted in\u00a0dunya<\/i>. All their bad actions, \u2018amal<\/i>. Now He (s) cannot say, \u201cI don\u2019t accept them.\u201d<\/p>\n That is why we say in Islam\u00a0man wa\u2019ada wafa<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cYou cannot go back on your promise.\u201d And many times it is said that this value has long been gone from the Muslim world and from the Arabs. They no longer keep their promise. I am surprised though that this Islamic value is well kept in the western world. They keep their promise. You don\u2019t break your promise. That is an Islamic principle.\u00a0Al-mu\u2019min idha wa\u2019ada wafa<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 \u201cThe believer if he makes a promise, keeps it.\u201d<\/p>\n Today if they promise something, the next minute they cheat you. In the western world, and the European world if they say \u201cI promise,\u201d they never change.<\/p>\n So when he (s) accepted he took the Ummah. He (s) said, \u201cYa Rabbee give me helpers, give me those to help in what I have to do.\u201d And Allah swt showed him from this whole Ummah, a continuous, unbroken chain, in every time and at every certain time, there must be 124,000\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0that will be standing on the footsteps of 124,000 prophets reaching the Ummah at any moment.<\/p>\n So the Prophet (s), when he saw that, was very happy, he divided the ummah into\u00a0Ummat al-ijaba<\/i>\u00a0and\u00a0Ummat ad-da\u2019wah<\/i>. He divided them among these saints. This one got 100 million, this one 20 million, and so forth.<\/p>\n They say that as soon as the Ummat an-Nabi (s) reaches the figure of 400 billion will come, Judgment Day will come. It means that all told the Ummah of the Prophet is 400 billion. Today we are 6 billion. But if you sum all the numbers, from the beginning, when that number reaches 400 billion. at that time Allah will order Sayyidina Israfeel to blow in the Trumpet.<\/p>\n So some\u00a0walis<\/i>\u00a0took charge of 100,000; some took one million; some took 100 million. But how will these\u00a0walis<\/i>\u00a0reach those who are divided to them? In physical life, a\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0might have 100,000 or 200,000 followers. But I never saw a\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0in physical life who had 200 million followers. So there must be a spiritual way by which a\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0can reach all his followers, from east to west and north to south.<\/p>\n As we said there are two types of followers: those who met the Shaykh physically and those who met him in dreams or visions; or they met the Shaykh on the street dressed in a different appearance and guides them. They can transform. The minimum\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0can transform in 12,000 appearances around the world.<\/p>\n When the prophet saw that he was so happy. He divided the Ummah on these 124,000\u00a0awliya<\/i>. These are working of their followers; either they follow spiritually or physically. Both are equally under the\u00a0ri\u2019ayat ash-Shaykh<\/i>\u00a0\u2013 the Vision [or shepherding] of the Shaykh.

This is in the past, in the present and in the future. The Qur\u2019an is for every time. It is referring to the future in that verse. It means anyone who has done something wrong must come to Muhammad (s).<\/p>\n How do you come to Muhammad (s)? We need a vehicle. That is the guide. That guide will take you, the badness, and the\u00a0fasaad<\/i>, the corruption that you have done, and go to the Prophet (s), showing your good side and hiding your bad side. Carrying your bad side on his shoulder.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t think\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0are playing; sitting with you and lecturing and eating and playing with you. That is a very divine presence that they keep always with the presence of the Prophet (s), taking the responsibility on themselves, as soon as you gave your hand with\u00a0baya\u2019<\/i>, they are the carrier, the real carriers. That is why I said jump on that wagon. Don\u2019t think you can be that wagon. And don\u2019t sit and count how many wagons are passing. Jump and run and then that wagon will take.<\/p>\n Our wagon is Mawlana Shaykh Nazim. Then we are safe, because the wagon is connected to the engine. The engine is safe. These engines if there is no oil they are finished. The Prophet\u2019 engine is heavenly engine, always running.\u00a0Awliya<\/i>\u00a0plug to the Prophet. Take you to presence of the Prophet (s). Their duty is to take everyone that has been assigned to them not only the ten or fifteen people sitting with the Shaykh. Don\u2019t be jealous. They are all over the world. They saw the Shaykh in different appearance. They are there for them.<\/p>\n \u201cThey come to you, ya Muhammad (s) and they ask Allah\u2019s forgiveness in the presence of the Prophet.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0It cannot be other than that. \u201cThey have to come to you Ya Muhammad (s), to ask forgiveness of Me in your presence.\u201d<\/p>\n And that will not be authenticated, it has to be legalized. When you go you need a paper from someone and the notary will stamp it. But that is not enough you also need the Secretary of State to stamp it. And sometimes you need more, you need a federal stamp.<\/p>\n So the\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0puts his stamp. But the Prophet (s) has to authenticate it.\u00a0Wastaghfara lahum ar-rasula<\/i>. That is the stamp. \u201cAt that time you will find Allah forgiving them.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Awliya<\/i>\u00a0have the duty, to take you all the way. Even you don\u2019t know that. That was assigned in the Isra and Mi\u2019raj. That is most important part, which people don\u2019t know about it. Isra and Mi\u2019raj was for benefit of the Nation. Don\u2019t try to find it in a book, don\u2019t try to research it; that is coming directly from the source.<\/p>\n When I have been authorized by my Shaykh, Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad (s) Nazim al-Haqqani, when I speak I don\u2019t need to prepare. There is no need and no acceptance of preparation of a presentation. If you prepare a presentation that will be thrown in your face; people will sleep in your lecture. Because when you prepare a presentation you are preparing with all your ego\u2019s stuff. Like what we said before about Sayyidina Ahmad al-Badawi and all his knowledge.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t know who will be in the audience. It might be that what you prepare is not suitable for their needs.<\/p>\n So\u00a0awliya<\/i>, they say just plug in your plug. Today it not a plug, it is wireless. Instant wireless telecommunication; like wireless communication. Then the audience receives what it needs. The master is looking at what they need from far away. We are not more than a radio. When the switch on the main studio, we speak; when they stop \u2013 zero. Nothing to speak even. Sometimes they tell me, speak. I say, I don\u2019t know what to speak.<\/p>\n They are teaching. When we switch off you are nothing. Don\u2019t think it is coming from you.\u00a0Tariqah<\/i>\u00a0is humbleness. If you don\u2019t teach yourself humility you can never reach upwards in spirituality. That is why there is a big difference between scholars and teachers. That is why there is big difference between their way of teaching. That difference is the plug or connection to the main source. Is he plugged correctly, is he plugging with his ego, or for fame? Does he consider himself to be someone respected? Or does he consider himself a normal person?<\/p>\n There was one\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0of the Naqshbandi chain, who said, \u00a0\u201cWhen I die, and my coffin is there, take my turban and throw it up. Wherever it lands on someone\u2019s head that will be my calipha, the one inheriting my secret.\u201d<\/p>\n So all these students of that Shaykh in that time\u2026 in that time today the Shaykh gives\u00a0tariqah<\/i>\u00a0to everyone, before they have to study, Islamic principles and law and everything. Not just Islamic sciences, but everything. That Shaykh has a lot of followers,\u00a0\u2018ulama<\/i>\u00a0scholars, professors, doctors in different Islamic thought and philosophy. Every one of these is like a peacock, so big, not like you, but they are like a balloon, you know that go in the air, if you take a needle and prick it they pop.<\/p>\n That was Sayyidina Ubaidullah al-Ahrar, who is buried in Uzbekistan, Samarqand.<\/p>\n So his calipha was Muhammad (s) Zahid. So when the Shaykh died, everyone was crying, they could not believe it.<\/p>\n When Mawlana Shaykh Abdullah died, we could not believe it, our Shaykh\u2019s Shaykh. I was young. We were not believing he will die. Allah gave such a love in your heart to your Shaykh; you gave up everything for him as in time of Sahaba, Sayyidina \u2018Umar said \u201cIf anyone says the Prophet (s) died I will cut his neck.\u201d<\/p>\n So in that time they were crying. They were crying physically, but they were still seeking to sit on the chair. That is the most dangerous illness today. Who cares, who is\u00a0calipha<\/i>\u00a0or not? You have no burden. You don\u2019t have it. If you are in the wagon, you are safe, you sleep when you want, and do what you want.<\/p>\n But that is a sickness today,\u00a0hubb ar-riyasa<\/i>. So when he passed away, they took the turban and threw it up in the air. That turban was running and running. That is secret of the Shaykh; but they were veiled from reality of the Shaykh.<\/p>\n The Shaykh can bring anyone who knows nothing and fill him up with heavenly knowledge in one moment. And everyone was trying to stretch his head up to catch the turban. So that turban went and landed on the head of one mureed.<\/p>\n That mureed was the one sitting at the door cleaning the shoes of the other mureeds, so when they go out their shoes are clean and organized. He was the shoe cleaner. \u201cHow can it be?\u201d they asked each other, \u201cThe shoe cleaner is the calipha of the Shaykh? No the turban is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n So they threw it up again and it went again to the same person. \u201cNo! the turban cannot be right. Try again.\u201d<\/p>\n They threw it up a third time, but that turban did not care if that person is an academic \u2013 it was looking for a real heart, a pure heart. Because Allah will give inspiration, reveal inspiration. The Shaykh wants a clean pipe. When you have a blocked pipe you call who? Abdul Fattah, the roto-rooter to open the pipe. These scholars, shuyukh, \u2018ulama,<\/i>\u00a0professors; their pipes are blocked. If the Shaykh wants to transmit something he cannot.<\/p>\n Who has a clean one? Those who are at the shoes. [Shoes here represents the bottom, the lowest, to be hidden at the back of the mosque far from the front line.]<\/p>\n This story means show humbleness, not arrogance. That is what is needed. A pipeline, clean that water can reach through it.<\/p>\n So the turban went to the one with the cleanest heart. The one who never showed himself up in the presence of the Shaykh, who never showed a will before his Shaykh; who never asked a question; who never objected on an issue.<\/p>\n Whatever the Shaykh said he said,\u00a0sam\u2019imna wa ata\u2019na<\/i>. It is not only\u00a0sam\u2019ina<\/i>, reading from books. Where is\u00a0ita\u2019at<\/i>? obedience. That is the most difficult characteristic \u2013 to obey. Everyone thinks he has the biggest and highest kind of knowledge or mind.<\/p>\n Even a child. You bring a child and he wants to bring and impose his opinion.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t see that everyone is happy with his mind? I am learning now these technical terms. Everyone thinks he is the focus, the self center. In front of his father, in front of his mother, he says, \u201cYou are awkward. You are covering. We need openness.\u201d Even if his father or mother are very \u201cpresentable\u201d in the western style or not the western style, we object. Children do that.<\/p>\n We are children to\u00a0awliya<\/i>. Shaytan is always trying to put an objection to the Shaykh. Don\u2019t let that disease enter your heart or we will never reach any point.<\/p>\n May Allah teach us and guide us. That is why a living Shaykh is important. If there is no living Shaykh that can plug and bring is\u2026<\/p>\n Even meeting the Shaykh physically once a year or twice a year is important. That meeting will bring you back to the right track. Meeting with the Shaykh will bring you back to normal track; because we are deviating little-by-little, day-by-day.<\/p>\n May Allah bless the owner of this house and his family, children and grandchildren and bless and forgives us all,\u00a0bi-hurmatil Fatiha.<\/i><\/p>\n Now I will give you\u00a0initiation.<\/p>\n Hafez visiting from Pakistan:<\/b><\/p>\n In the presence of\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0we have so much spirituality and so much life we cannot imagine. This life Is coming from\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0from the source. As Allah said in Surat al-Anfal:<\/p>\n ;\u00a0\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u0623\u064e\u064a\u064f\u0651\u0647\u064e\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u064e\u0651\u0630\u0650\u064a\u0646\u064e \u0622\u0645\u064e\u0646\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0627\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u062c\u0650\u064a\u0628\u064f\u0648\u0627\u0652 \u0644\u0650\u0644\u0651\u0647\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0644\u0650\u0644\u0631\u064e\u0651\u0633\u064f\u0648\u0644\u0650 \u0625\u0650\u0630\u064e\u0627 \u062f\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645 \u0644\u0650\u0645\u064e\u0627 \u064a\u064f\u062d\u0652\u064a\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652<\/p>\n astajeebu lillah wa li\u2019r-rasul idha da\u2019akum lima yuheekum \u2013 \u201cO ye who believe! give your response to Allah and His Messenger, when He calleth you to that which will give you life;\u201d\u00a0<\/i>[8:24]<\/p>\n The life is\u00a0awliya<\/i>, the life here is Islam, the life here is love of Allah, love of the Prophet, love of Sahaba, love of the\u00a0tabi\u2019een<\/i>, love of\u00a0awliya, love<\/i>\u00a0of\u00a0shuhada<\/i>.<\/p>\n Awliya<\/i>\u00a0are loving people who love for the sake of Allah.<\/p>\n I would like to share with you my experience. When I came yesterday, I heard many speeches. Some speeches made me fall asleep. And I told my friend who was sitting around me, \u201cMy brother me neck is hurting.\u201d<\/p>\n One poet is famous in Pakistan, his name is Iqbal, Allama Iqbal. He has a very good piece of poetry in Urdu regarding this:<\/p>\n If the speaker\u2019s heart is enlightened with\u00a0nur<\/i>\u00a0of Allah swt, then you give life to your audience. Then the audience is getting life from the speech. If the heart is full of darkness, then you are putting them into death.<\/p>\n When I heard our Shaykh yesterday, I was fully awake\u00a0alhamdulillah<\/i>. I don\u2019t know what kind of inspiration of what he said, but the more I hear him the more my heart gets filled with\u00a0nur<\/i>.<\/p>\n The love of\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0is the main source if we love the\u00a0awliyaullah<\/i>\u00a0according to our Shaykh we are in the wagon and we will have no fear in the\u00a0dunya<\/i>\u00a0and no fear in\u00a0akhira<\/i>. As Allah said in Surat Yunus,\u00a0alaa<\/i>\u00a0awliyaullah<\/i>,\u00a0la khawfan alayhim wa la hum yahzanoon<\/i>. Those who are most beloved to Allah will have no fear, no\u00a0huzn<\/i>\u00a0in this\u00a0dunya<\/i>\u00a0and in the\u00a0akhira<\/i>. They will have good tidings,\u00a0bushra,<\/i>\u00a0in this life and the next, and there is no change to the principles of Allah.<\/p>\n What is Allah\u2019s principle? If the person is in the wagon, if the person is in the premises, the universal rule, will never change. This is what we have to learn from each other. The love of\u00a0awliya<\/i>\u00a0is basic, that he will take us to love of Sahaba love of Sahaba will take us to love of the Prophet and love of the Prophet will take us to love Allah.<\/p>\n We have to go step by step. You will move step by step.\u00a0Inshiqaq<\/i>. Person who is unbelievers will go to destruction step by step and believers will go up to Allah step by step.<\/p>\n Shaykh Sa\u2019adi of Persia said,<\/p>\n To spend one second in the presence of God\u2019s Friend That \u2018ibadah<\/i>\u00a0has no showing off, no one has seen us, worshipping Allah swt, even that, one second, one moment in the presence of the\u00a0wali<\/i>\u00a0is more valuable than that.<\/p>\n We are so blessed to be among the\u00a0awliya<\/i>.
