Notes

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem,

??? ??????? ??? ?????????? ?

????? ????? ??? ??????????

[Surah 91: Verse 9-10]

????? ???? ??????? ?????????????? ????????? ???????????????? ?

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

Before I go on, there are some aadaab (etiquettes) of listening to these talks because it is not a lecture or any odd lesson, or a dunyawi (worldly) lesson where if you don’t want to give attention, you don’t. This is a deeni lesson. Insha Allaah if you listen carefully, who knows that Allah swt might make that a source of our salvation.Those people who do not respect, they do not gain anything. Respect is so important:

????? ???????? ???????????? ??????? ?????????? ??? ?????? ????????? ?

Those who respect the sha-aa’ir of Allah swt, then that is the piety of the heart.

[Surah 22: verse 32]

Since the talk of respect has come, I will elaborate: a person who takes a joke out of niqab, salah, a sunnah, those things which are connected with Allah swt, with sharee’ah, disrespecting masjids. Disrespecting Ulama – because they are knowledgeable people, because they have knowledge of the Qur’an and Hadeeth, if one disrespects them, disrespects Qur’an, disrespects sunnah, then that person firstly will face the consequence in this world, then the hereafter.

????? ??????? ??? ?????? ??????? ???? ??????????

[Surah 20: Verse 124]

So one should try to respect these sorts of gatherings. If one is sitting and listening for the sake of pleasure, or talking, then that person will never benefit.

So first and foremost, insha Allaah, we make this firm intention that we have logged into this programme, insha Allaah we will first make our intention clear and insha Allah we will ask Allah swt to guide us & we’ll ask Allah swt to give us the tawfeeq to respect this sort of programme and insha Allah we will benefit.

The ayah which I recited, Allah swt says:

????? ???? ??????? ?????????????? ????????? ???????????????? ?

Indeed Allah swt loves those who seek spiritual purity and loves those who seek physical purity

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

Tawwab means the one who seeks tawbah, who repents to Allah swt for all sins.

Mutatahhirreen are those who seek physical purity.

Spirituality is essential to our deen. It is attached with everything. Even if one reads Salah. If one does without spirituality, he will not gain that much reward and that much benefit out of it. Just take this ayah:

????? ???? ??????? ?????????????? ????????? ?????????????????

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

Spiritual purity i.e. purity from spiritual diseases. Try to make oneself pure from envy, from enmity, jealousy, hatred, arrogance, all those things.

A person who is impure physically, for example, he is in need of ghusl, he is in need of wudhu’, he needs water, and if he doesn’t, his salah will not be valid. He will not be called a pure person. Similarly, if one is impure spiritually, imagine, how will his salah be valid? If a person is fasting from dawn until dusk, if he doesn’t eat and if he does not fulfill all the fiqhi rules of observing sawm, if you ask a Mufti, he will say your fast is done. But if you go and ask a Awliya, a wali of Allah swt who is into spirituality, if you ask him: Whilst committing sins whilst fasting, is my fast valid? He will say: you might have to keep it again because:

?? ?? ??? ??? ????? ???????? ?? ???? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ??????

This is the Hadeeth regarding Ramadhan where Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says:

“Whoever does not leave falsehood, Allah is not in need of him that he should leave his food and his drink.”

Just imagine, a person is keeping a fast but at the end of the day, with that fast he is committing major and minor sins, how will his sowm be valid? Obviously, we are not free from sins, we may commit sins, but with that we need to keep in mind that we need to do tawbah immediately. Allah swt says:

????? ???? ??????? ???????????????

Indeed Allah swt loves those who seek spiritual purity

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

For physical purity one needs water and that water should be pure as well. Similarly, for spiritual purity, he needs water and that water should also be pure and that water is called tears from the eyes. Remorse and regret upon his sins, upon his spiritual diseases. Allah swt will forgive those sins and make him pure from those spiritual diseases. One cannot attain that easily. He has to work hard, and if he does work hard:

??????????? ?????????? ??????

Whoever strives hard in Our path

[Surah 29: Verse 69]

Allah swt says, We will make it easy for them [with help of Allah swt]. We need to turn towards Allah swt.

So I was saying:

????? ???? ??????? ?????????????? ????????? ?????????????????

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

If a person seeks physical purity, Allah loves him, similarly, Allah loves those who  seek spiritual purity.

In salah as well, Ulama say, in Salat al-Shar’ee that we read,there is also Salatut Tareeqah, which means tasawwuf salah (the spiritual salah) which is for the ritual prayer (the salah shar’ee). It has been prescribed by Allah swt. As Allah swt says:

?????????? ????? ????????????

Be careful to observe the ritual prayers

Then He says:

???????????? ?????????

Especially the middle prayer

[Surah 2: Verse 238]

The ritual prayer consists of postures adopted by the outer members of the body. Similarly, the middle prayer. This means the prayer of the heart, prescribed everlasting by the Qur’anic verse. We have to observe the 5 times salah, as well as the prayer of the heart – constant remembrance of Allah swt and that is also a prayer. Likewise, there is ruku’, sujood etc., similarly through our heart we have to bow in front of Allah swt. May Allah swt guide us and give us the tawfeeq. As Allah swt says:

????? ???? ??????? ?????????????? ????????? ?????????????????

Indeed Allah swt loves those who seek spiritual purity

[Surah 2: Verse 222]

Allah swt  give us the tawfeeq to seek that spiritual purity. This is the main thing. Today, we listen, we do so much deeni work, we put so much effort into it but at the end of the day, the spirituality is not there. the roohaniyat as we say. The connection, the sincerity (ikhlaas). Insha Allah if we ask from Allah swt, He will give. I am not saying that everyone is like that but we seek that sincerity, we need to find that and we need to ask Allah swt to give us that tawfeeq to have that ikhlaas and to create that spirutality.

There are shuyookh out there who we should do bay’ah to (pledge allegiance) and keep contact with them as Allah swt says:

??????????? ????????? ????????? ???????? ??????? ????????? ???? ??????????????

O believers! Fear Allah (swt)

How to fear Allah swt? Allah swt says:

????????? ???? ??????????????

Stay with the saadiqeen.

[Surah 9: Verse 119]

- Meaning ma’iyyat (stay in the company of those who are truthful, with those who are awliya of Allah swt,, those who are close to Allah swt).

Sadiqeen
- Stay with saadiqeen because the Nabis have gone. After nabis are siddeeq, the sadiqeen. And these are the darajaat of awliya e kiram.

May Allah swt give us the tawfeeq to seek purity from all spiritual diseases. For example, pride, arrogance, hatred, jealousy.

Pride
One of the diseases of the heart where Hadhrat Shaykh rahimahullah, he has written a book called Ummul Amraaz.  “Mother of all [evil] diseases”. Because through pride, all other diseases come into existence.

Just imagine, Shaytan, regarding him, it has been mentioned that he is from jinn.

????? ???? ??????? ???????? ??? ????? ???????

Shaytan was from jinn. [Allah (swt) says,] he went against His Lord’s hukm (order).

[Surah 19: Verse 50]

When Allah (swt) said that you have to perform sajdah:

?????? ??????????? ??????? ???? ?????????????

He denied. He had takabbur.He was amongst those who denied

[Surah 2: verse 34]

Regarding him it is mentioned that he performed ibaadah in such a way that he did not leave any single  place in the whole universe where he did not do sajdah. And because of that, Allah swt gave him the rank that because of his ibaadah, he was counted as amongst the angels.

When we study the Qur’an by ourselves (DIY) – many people study themselves. There is a hadeeth in which Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says:

???????? ??????? ?????????????

Knowledge is with ta’allum

- With being a student. If a person is a student, he is gaining from his teacher but if a person is only gaining knowledge from Mufti google only, or some other sources, he will not get any understanding of deen. Directly he just goes to pick a book up, he just picks up the translation of the Qur’an and he reads, now I ask him this question, that Allah swt says:

????? ?????? ??????????????? ???????? ???????? ??????????? ??????? ????????

Remember the time when We said to the angels: Do sajdah to Adam (as). They all did but Iblees didn’t [do sajdah].

[Surah 19: Verse 50]

So from here we can understand that Allaah swt is saying,

????? ?????? ???????????????

This means that iblees was from amongst the angels. On the other hand, Allah says in surah kahaf:

????? ???? ??????? ???????? ??? ????? ???????

Iblees was from jinnaat, so now it contradicts! But ulama write, that he did so much ibadah that he had the rank of being counted amongst the angels that’s why Allah said:

????? ?????? ??????????????? ???????? ????????

Because of his ‘ibaadah he was counted amongst the angels and When Allah swt asked all the angels, he was also asked to bow, to prostrate in front of Adam (as). But because he had that takabbur (pride), that arrogance, that how dare Adam (as) overcome me. He was created from soil. Logic says this.

In sharee’ah, the mas’alah says that one should wipe upon his leather socks but the logic says that one should wipe underneath the socks but no, we have to submit in front of of Allah swt. Similarly, Shaytan, in him, this takabbur, it came up and it is said:

?????? ??????????? ??????? ???? ?????????????

He denied and he said

?????????? ??? ??????? ??????????? ? ??? ??????

O Allah you created me from fire and you created him  from soil, how can I do sajdah?

- Because logically, if you light a fire, its flame goes up and if you throw the soil up, it goes down. I am superior and he is inferior. How can a superior do sajdah in front of an inferior person? Allah swt didn’t like this. Allah swt said:

???????

Go away

[Surah 15: verse 34]

Shaytan ruined his life by this.So it is takabbur, he did so much ibaadah but because of one single takabbur, one single moment of this pride came up, Allah swt said, you are away from my presence.

Allah swt says:

Pride is My sheet, whoever tries to snatch it away from Me, I will break his neck.

Here Allah swt is using this word because his head is too high. If his neck is broken, he has nothing to be boasting about. This means that Allah will not literally break his neck. Allah swt says, Allah will make him suffer in such a way that he will have this punishment int his world and int he hereafter. So may Allah swt give us the tawfeeq to seek the purity from all spiritual diseases and give us twfeeq to bring all good spiritual characteristics like shukr, sabr and so forth and may Allah give us tawfeeq to get rid of takabbur (pride), arrogance, envy, enmoty, jeaousy, hatred etc. And may Allah swt give us the understanding of deen. The ayah which I read at the beginning, Allah awt says:

??? ??????? ??? ?????????? ?

One should be constant behind purifuing himself.. He should ask himself, I am purified or not? I fnit, he should keep trying util he dies.

May Allah swt give us the tawfeeq.

Notes

Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem,

Speaking about the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam strengthens our imaan. He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the noblest of mankind. In a Hadeeth the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:

I am the best descendent of Adam (alayhis salam).

Since he is the most beloved of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala and he is a mercy to all of mankind, he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam had all the best qualities. The ‘Ulama (scholars) have written and summarised all his qualities in three categories:

1 – Jamal (beauty)

2 – Kamal (excellence)

3 – Nawal (generosity)

Jamal

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu anhu said: I have not seen anything as beautiful as Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. It was as if the sun was shining on his face. When he laughed, it reflected upon the wall.

Hadhrat Ali radhiyallahu anhu said: Anyone who saw him suddenly was filled with awe of him. Those who kept his company loved him.

Kamal

Hadhrat Asma bint Abi Bakr radhiyallahu anha said: I bought out a black shirt. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to wear it. We used to wash it so that people who were sick they could gain shifa from that water.

Our first duty to him is that we should believe in him. Since we believe in him and have faith in him, we should love him as well. In a Hadeeth it is said:

None of you is a complete believer until I am more beloved to him than his father, than his children and the whole of mankind.

May Allah Ta’ala give us the love of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam so much so that we implement his sunnah and his sharee’ah in our lives.

Our first duty is to believe in him. The second duty is to love him. If we don’t love him, then there will be a punishment. But there will also be a reward for the one who loves. What is it? Hadhrat Anas  radhiyallahu anhu said that a man came to Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and said: “Ya Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam! When will the last hour come?” Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not say, that qiyamah will be on this day or that day, but he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “What have you prepared for it?” He said: “Ya Rasulallah. I have not prepared alot of prayer,  fasting or charity for it, but I love Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.” Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: “You will be with the one who you love.”

Some people say that if we just love that will be enough. But this is not correct. This Sahabi is saying that I did all of my faraidh and I stay away from all major sins, and with that I love Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. This is the meaning of the love of Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Because of that love, we are here now. We are talking about him. We are listening about him and because of that, on the day of judgement, Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala will resurrect us with him insha’Allah, that’s why we have to love him so much.

The third duty is to obey him. Allah Almighty says: “O Nabi! Tell these believers: Obey Allah and His Rasul and if you obey him you will be guided.”

Subhanallah. You should obey him, follow his sunnah. A poet said:

If your love had been true, then you would have obeyed him

The lover obeys the one who he loves

Therefore, we have to think in our lives, how much do we obey Nabi sallalahu ‘alayhi wa sallam? We have to try and implement his sharee’ah in our lives, we have to try and implement his sunnah, we should try and read his shama’il. The shama’il is one part of his seerah, which tells us how he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam talked, how he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam walked, how he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was eating.

Hadhrat Shaykh Zakariyyah may Allah have mercy on him said: One should try to find Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam’s every single sunnah and then try to implement them in his life one by one.

The fourth duty is to honour him and respect him.

The Sahabah radhiyallahu anhum ajma’een respected him. It is necessary to have esteem and respect for Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi w sallam after his demise as well, as it was in his life. That is to show reverence to Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam’s every single thing – his (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam’s) Hadeeth, his Sunnah, his name. When his life is mentioned, we respect, we listen carefully and on our lips should be salat upon Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Our pious predecessors used to respect him so much. Shaykh Islamul Haq rahmatullahi ‘alayh who I read Bukhari shareef by, he passed away in Madinah Munawwarah. It is amazing how Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala gave him death in Madinah. In Ramadhan, the last ten days, at night, the 27th or 25th night at tahajjud time. Some say he was in tahajjud. When I read Bukhari by him, I saw him with my own eyes, he used to cry whilst he was giving dars.

The Messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in a Hadeeth: I met Jibraeel (alayhis salam) who said: I give you the good news that Allah Almighty has said that whoever has asked for peace for you it is as if he has asked for peace for his own self. Whoever asks for blessings for you, it is as if he has asked for blessings for his own self.

One Shaykh said: If a person grabs hold of two things in his life, Allah Ta’ala will fulfill all his needs of this dunya and aakhirah. Today we go to a Shaykh to fulfill our needs, then another, then another, or turn to Allah in du’a al-Hamdulillah, but this Shaykh says, throughout Ahadeeth and Qur’an, I have come to know that if a person grabs hold of two things, insha’Allah Allah will fulfill all his needs:

1 – Recitation of the Qur’an daily, whether 5 ayahs or 10. And we should make a habit of reading salat on Nabi sallallahu layahi wa sallam. The Shaykh says that in the Ahadeeth I have come to know that it has been mentioned that a person who does not have time reading other things or does not have time making other nawafil and only reciting Qur’an, in return, he does not even have time to do du’a as well, Allah Ta’ala will fulfill all his needs of the dunya and aakhirah.

Hadhrat Ubay ibn Ka’b radhiyallahu anhu narrates: Once Hadhrat Ka’b radhiyallahu anhu said: I asked Nabi sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: Shall I approach my time doing salat on you? Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied: Yes. The Sahabi asked: How should I do it? For a quarter of my time? Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Yes but if you have time more. Hadhrat Ka’b radhiyallahu anhu asked: Should I devote half of my time for it? Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam replied: If you do that much that will be better for you but more will be better. At the end he said: I will dedicate my whole time in durud shareef. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said: Then yor needs will be fulfilled by Allah.

The Shaykh carried on to say: We can deduce that if a person holds onto these two things, insha’Allah Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala will fulfill all of his needs of this dunya and aakhairah.

Shaykh Imran ibn Adam saheb ended with advice: Start with 25 durud, increase it monthly, read 5 Ayahs every day. While you do deeni work, all other things, but don’t forget yourselves.

May Allah Ta’ala give us the tawfeeq to act upon what was said – Ameen.
