- 0:28about meter movement in about soon.
- 0:30I'm have-nots a lolly one solemn.
- 0:32So the first time does our Imam, it hasn't any money for saying
- 0:35alaikum, salaam. And that these I think it's are
- 0:37these five Personalities. In particular, in particular
- 0:41set, the moral standards that we need to conduct our lives on a
- 0:44day-to-day and on a long-term basis.
- 0:47If you're new to the channel, however, shall have, this will
- 0:49be your first opportunity to get into this discussion with us.
- 0:52So, hit that subscribe button. Hit the notification bar, while
- 0:55you're at it as well. And it's a little stay tuned
- 0:57because we still have some more podcasts coming out in the Nice.
- 1:00But of course, this is a podcast.
- 1:02I can't do on my own. And as always, I have my
- 1:04trusted, co-hosted, I leave other ways.
- 1:06So, I think I'm saying, Better.
- 1:19That now I'm seeing your, you know, will is the energy.
- 1:24Yes, it's reminded me that, you know, we are literally here now,
- 1:28nice of Destiny. And when sha Allah, one morning,
- 1:31the martyrdom of Ali IBN ABI Talib Amir al-mumineen and very
- 1:34nice. You said, I meet a woman
- 1:36earlier. The first thing that came to my
- 1:37head. Honestly, as you were just
- 1:38talking now, Amir al-mu'minin. Technically, he's the prince of
- 1:41all the Believers. As Believers are send.
- 1:43So if you are a movement I lie, is your prince honest and
- 1:47honestly so we can all learn from him.
- 1:49Whether you're sharing or not sharing, this is someone that we
- 1:51could only show a lot, get guidance from especially.
- 1:54Now that I said, Destiny, you think about Sadie.
- 1:56Obviously, we've now had nearly three weeks of sharra, move on,
- 2:00shall we? Pray that this is not our last
- 2:03Ramadan, and this is not the last time, we're commemorating
- 2:05the shahadat of the minimum we need, or we are respecting and
- 2:10taking part participating in. The other of course, but these
- 2:16nights are so critical lens and other entitlement unofficial,
- 2:20mmm, greater than 1000 months. How have you been preparing for
- 2:26these blessed nights over the last few weeks?
- 2:30If you want an honest answer from me and I'm going to be as
- 2:33honest as I can, realistically humanely be right?
- 2:36And I haven't been preparing much and if I can tell you the
- 2:42truth apart from doing, you know, the wide you bought, some
- 2:45was to have, but I haven't had an opportunity.
- 2:47But now as an I haven't had an opportunity to do more.
- 2:50Knowing I can it's just you know, sometimes we use an excuse
- 2:54that, you know, you're a father, you're working my friends, I way
- 2:57life and get in the way best Handler, we've had opportunities
- 3:00where we can reflect on what we want to approve on, and I think
- 3:04that's important to me, maybe those listening, maybe even
- 3:07yourself that if, you know, Where you're slacking.
- 3:10Sounds of your eyeball that your connection with Allah subhanahu
- 3:12wa'ta'ala. And I think now being ladylike
- 3:14either especially home that now is the time.
- 3:18It's like the high time where you can be as spiritually close
- 3:21to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala as possible.
- 3:23What are the what are the kind of couple of key lessons or
- 3:27anything that you've learned this month, that you're focusing
- 3:30the month around, all that you are kind of guiding your about
- 3:35dot on. Just what I mean, is there
- 3:36anything specific that you picked up?
- 3:38Month already you've heard? Or I'm literally speaking less
- 3:41than I normally do Maybin on the podcast.
- 3:45That's ultimately what I want. What I mean by that is that, you
- 3:49know, speak good, you know, there's no point to speak when
- 3:52you shouldn't talk, you know, people always like they have to
- 3:54talk in every single conversation or past the point.
- 3:57And, you know, sometimes it can end up in a neighbor.
- 3:59Sometimes you can end up, you know, you where you are
- 4:02literally slandering someone unintentionally at times, you
- 4:05know, even as a joke. Sometimes we can say something.
- 4:08No. Knowing that we are doing
- 4:10something wrong using our tongues, you know.
- 4:11So refrain it technically don't talk.
- 4:13If you don't need to talk and that's something I hope that I
- 4:16can improve on because I don't know if people think I talk too
- 4:20much. No that's you know and sometimes
- 4:23you know speaking of that I know you've had some episodes with me
- 4:26and you previously were you watching me a question?
- 4:27I'm like I have no idea and that's why I've learned from
- 4:31this podcast. Honestly is that if I don't know
- 4:33what I'm saying. So if I got no value to add in a
- 4:37conversation, Or two, you know, you know, not waffle, finally
- 4:44use the right term, just don't say nothing.
- 4:46You know what they love is not. I think it's not about Waffle
- 4:48only especially like like you mentioned the point of our
- 4:50labor. Hmm very important Point.
- 4:52Like if there's nothing you can gain from doing an action
- 4:54there's no point doing it and you know, that kind of It kind
- 4:59of hits home with something that I've learned a lot from this
- 5:01month. There's been two or three points
- 5:03which I think for me have helped improve the month.
- 5:07Obviously, it's not been perfect.
- 5:08Act, shall we only have what 10h days left?
- 5:12However, the biggest thing for me is understanding the concept
- 5:17of effort, you know, I know it sounds good, yummy in the sense
- 5:21that we've had so many times in our first podcast, this month
- 5:24would say the good lazara and our podcast with shut off a
- 5:28logic and our podcast with chakra watching.
- 5:30Molly, they've been a consistent theme amongst these three
- 5:33Scholars where they've all said something along the lines of
- 5:36Ramadan is meant to be a challenge.
- 5:38You push yourself. Don't let it just be all I'm
- 5:42fasting in the day and once Maghrib comes after Maghrib, no
- 5:46pun intended, I'm then relax and then I'm back to my normal self
- 5:49for three or four hours and then I'm back to struggling after
- 5:52know. Yeah, the in the daytime you're
- 5:54meant to strive and in the nighttime you meant to strive.
- 5:57Yeah, you know the for me any I hit my spiritual Peak on a
- 6:02personal level in the night. That's me personally.
- 6:04Yeah, I think it's because it's quiet.
- 6:06I feel alone. I feel and I feel like I can
- 6:09unwind and I've tried to maximize that during the holy
- 6:13month. So I think understanding this is
- 6:17been important one last. So I got As in, there are other
- 6:20things that I have done which I don't normally do.
- 6:22Okay, for example, where there's more dhikr, there's more just be
- 6:27a so normally like if I'm driving or got nothing going on,
- 6:31he's holding one in his hand, there's a simple, there's a
- 6:33simple. So that's like a habit that's
- 6:36happened. Over the last few weeks.
- 6:38You know, normally we only do the staff are like once you've
- 6:41finished praise or something stuff like that but now I know
- 6:43it's like, it's become like a daily habit, very good way is
- 6:45continuous. And another thing is, like, when
- 6:47you're playing solo, mmm, you know, normally we pay a lot of
- 6:50money out of him somehow, lineman Hamada cetera, et
- 6:53cetera, et cetera, but now it's taking it slow, focus on
- 6:56understanding the word, you know, give you some Melody and
- 6:59one LOL, the it takes it to another literally makes you
- 7:03understand everywhere. What you are, uttering in your
- 7:06Salah and it makes it's nice because Use whilst you're
- 7:09praying, you know what you're saying, and youíve mentioned,
- 7:12there's so much time. So the podcast as well that you
- 7:14know, when we want to pray I want to recycle on.
- 7:16Don't you know talk or read like parrots.
- 7:19That's the term we've been using and where and that's not being
- 7:22I've implemented myself. Thank you, no surprise.
- 7:25It's I mean like for me I was thinking the same thing today.
- 7:29Really? Honestly it was the same thing
- 7:31today trying to understand when you're citing a solar in your
- 7:34Namaz or when you're, when you're doing your tush hood, or
- 7:37whatever, it might be, Any any element of your Salah trying to
- 7:41understand what you're saying? Helps a lot.
- 7:43Yeah, even for example, small things for me, I think there's
- 7:47been four or five main changes in this month, for me like a
- 7:49single cell has been one, the reflections been no other God
- 7:53on. I'm trying to make sure caught
- 7:54on and so I'm slightly improved. So I'm times on are trying to do
- 7:58my, making sure I pray my motherland and Asia.
- 8:01Before I eat my food for me personally.
- 8:03That's, that's helped me or at least my mother abandon my a
- 8:06shower later in the night. That's that's for me.
- 8:08Helped me a lot. But ultimately said, when you're
- 8:12talking about Salah, there's a time and Quran there's a time of
- 8:15the year where these two things intertwine, just what I mean and
- 8:20that is between the 19th and the 21st of Ramadan called on meets
- 8:24Salat and Salam. It's caught on.
- 8:26In one, you have a middle minion who, who was martyred, or he was
- 8:31struck in Salah in sura Jude and then you, of course, have the
- 8:35Knights of power when the Holy Quran was revealed.
- 8:37So, in these two things, Salon Salon which meet each other, and
- 8:41our responsibility, in my opinion, as, as Believers to try
- 8:44and understand why Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in his
- 8:48infinite and divine wisdom, coordinated.
- 8:52The event of the martyrdom of a middle mini, with the Knights of
- 8:55God. Yeah, there cannot be a
- 8:57coincidence that these two events took place.
- 9:00At the same time I was just going to say, you know, I I
- 9:03don't know God's plan, let's be honest, we don't know God's plan
- 9:07best, we know, you know. Wherever God plans, there's like
- 9:10wisdom behind. Hm.
- 9:12There's meaning to it, and the connection you've made them both
- 9:15connect to each other as like, connecting the dots.
- 9:17Yeah, it's so beautiful and you know, he said the Quran Allah
- 9:20come together and remember it, you know, I'm always refer to
- 9:23ask around and not, you know, he's so literally on a solid.
- 9:28You come together. Freya, Quran, Ali, Abdullah
- 9:30Saleh, the nice of Destiny. They go hand-in-hand.
- 9:34And although I was about say something, we always in every
- 9:36podcast, which I'm not going to, okay?
- 9:38This is it. Repetitive best, it truly shows
- 9:42that Amir al-mumineen cannot be separated at all.
- 9:47And the fact, if I can go a little into how they struck him
- 9:53is that they struck him, wasn't Salah and stood in prostration,
- 9:57that's an even bigger thing to factor in with.
- 10:01You want to connect the dots, the highly, and the Quran, and
- 10:04the Quran, and the prey, and the destiny, like how they struck
- 10:06him, where they struck him. And when they struck him like
- 10:09these three things if you Ponder on them this is a lot of volume
- 10:13that because you know I'm in a moment in was so many things.
- 10:17He was the ultimate example of a father, the ultimate example of
- 10:22a warrior, the ultimate example of someone whose philanthropic
- 10:26the ultimate example of someone who was just and merciful the
- 10:29ultimate example of someone who was at the decipher of
- 10:33knowledge. Yes, you know, all of the
- 10:36qualities of the alphabet and mo Salam can be found.
- 10:38Each of them like my Salam and of course, ultimately and first
- 10:42and foremostly, solo, Mohamed Salah absence of them, but
- 10:46middle, Mark, manin protected the religion of Islam and we
- 10:52know, of course, then our idea of he is the compiler of the
- 10:55Holy Quran, you know. Of course, other sects in Islam
- 10:59will advance of a lot of mind, the Third Kind of sorry cards
- 11:02will have got to, but Carter, but he is more.
- 11:04Are we have almost s so-called yes.
- 11:07And Different things or someone some people say compiled the
- 11:11Quran in the modern-day form as well.
- 11:13But of course, now traditions we say is I leave?
- 11:15No be a problem, they Salam. And of course the middle
- 11:18mumineen are, if you don't want to up and read something, I've
- 11:21I've come across in natural bulava, please.
- 11:22Let's learn from where I'm a little mini in talks about his
- 11:25relationship with the Holy Quran.
- 11:28Mmm, I've been on what mean says, bismillahi r-rahmani.
- 11:30R-rahim denied by the means of which we are guided.
- 11:34I either got on. It is me.
- 11:36Who will inform you concerning it?
- 11:38What's it? Taine's that knowledge of the
- 11:40future of the teachings of the past, the healings of your
- 11:44sufferings and the setting in order of your relationships,
- 11:47this is from National bulava seminar 157 and you just
- 11:52understand from this, that, I mean, what minion was, you know,
- 11:54we say that the term that people use to describe minimal minions
- 11:58or on and I took the wadding walking, or on doesn't literally
- 12:02mean that a little minion is a walking, or on.
- 12:04Because, I know we've had some slack in the past from people
- 12:07for using this term. It's a metaphorical saying can I
- 12:10add something, then you continue.
- 12:12Yeah, please just just to emphasize a bit further.
- 12:14What his connection with the Quran is also lost, like I
- 12:16liaise with the Quran and the Quran is with and highly.
- 12:19You may continue. I just, I just wanted to make
- 12:21sure you're completely right. I mean, this is exactly exactly
- 12:24relevant to the point I'm making in the sense that minimum in, in
- 12:27personified, the Quran in his manner.
- 12:30Hmm. You know, he said, when he said
- 12:32Saloon is sidonie popular, he said that ask me I have more
- 12:36knowledge of the heavens that I do of.
- 12:37Yeah. You understand that Amir
- 12:39al-mumineen when he is interpreting the Holy Quran?
- 12:44He's talking about the word of Allah spot and that knowledge
- 12:48comes from rasulallah Muhammad salallahu alaihe when I lost on
- 12:51anybody. So all in all, I think that, you
- 12:54know, when you talk about layout and look, I don't and your mom
- 12:57at least, shahadat, it's not one or the other.
- 13:00It was not one followed by the other.
- 13:02You know, there's some who, for example, say, I spent this
- 13:05portion of the night doing Martin and reciting poetry and
- 13:08Morning and then the second portion of the night.
- 13:10For example, reading put on and do my art.
- 13:11My, in my humble opinion, I feel like the two are so intertwined
- 13:16that when you're doing one, you must remember.
- 13:17The other of course, you know, even a month, we have a month at
- 13:20you, you need to ask Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala to remove
- 13:23his Mercy from Those Who Kill Them, you are not minion.
- 13:26So just just goes to show, you know, the how they actually do
- 13:31go hand in hand along and that's a let Amir al-mu'minin and that
- 13:36is, I hope people can actually do this.
- 13:38During the nights of this. Anyway, you can you know ask
- 13:41Allah subhanaw taala to remove his Mercy if he shows them in
- 13:44your mercy, honest to God, it was No One's Gonna Show much
- 13:48into the killers of I lie. Have never thought up, you know.
- 13:51So it goes to show that if that is like part of our Atman,
- 13:56there's like Paul of considered worship this is worship.
- 13:59Some can laugh about this? Yeah, but if it's considered
- 14:02worship, there is a high status for this man and it's not any
- 14:05other months or some random man, anyone can go pick em, Everyone
- 14:08knows I've been a movement in these days.
- 14:10By the way, you know, even we have living, what do you call
- 14:13them States? Head of States?
- 14:15Yeah, they now call the prince of Believers.
- 14:18No. More of, you know, just as a lot
- 14:20of is a lot of become a laughingstock.
- 14:21Yeah. I mean, there's the, the states
- 14:24is that Imam, Ali Al Islam has, is unlike any other mmm, unlike
- 14:29any other. You know, the ultimately, when
- 14:31we think about a middle mumineen, there's different
- 14:34portions of his life I think. We know so well.
- 14:37And we If someone was to ask you and inshallah, we can all
- 14:41including myself as well. Especially pick up on our
- 14:43understanding of a minimum inning.
- 14:45It's almost to ask you, tell me about his marriage was say, the
- 14:47Fatima Zahra tell me about his, his, his, his role as a father.
- 14:52Tell me about his bravery, and by the door heard her name,
- 14:56kinda not a one, you know, these German all of these go on these
- 15:00lists thin and when we remember that minimum in was killed in
- 15:05this state, or he was struck in this state, there's two things
- 15:08that Very much touched me in the first is no one could come near
- 15:12me remote million. No one, no one could come to a
- 15:15minimum and in the only time anyone could get near to him was
- 15:20when he was fasting. He had it was praying his
- 15:22fragile Salah. He was in stood on the 19th of
- 15:25Ramadan and they struck him on his head with the police.
- 15:27That's the only time they can catch him.
- 15:28They can't touch him. No wait, how are you going to
- 15:31attack him in? You call it.
- 15:32The only way you can get him is when he's not he's not focused.
- 15:35We're talking about the man who when he was praying.
- 15:38His full concentration was on a lot of women and then when he
- 15:42even raised his ring finger and he donated zakat has real cool.
- 15:46Yeah even that somebody say oh he wasn't focused in Salah know,
- 15:50he was so focused in salahi new Allah willed of him such that he
- 15:53would give charity in the state of and they became a verse in
- 15:56the Quran. He became a person, he was older
- 15:57than her. That's the first thing that
- 16:00touches me. Mmm, the second thing that
- 16:02touches me, if I can remember because now sniffing my mama
- 16:06Amir al-mumineen after he was struck, Fuck by a big margin,
- 16:10not until I lie. He was so merciful to the man
- 16:13who hit him, who attempted assassination on him, he offered
- 16:17water to the killer of himself and told his son, a man has to
- 16:22know his son to loosen the ropes on his wrists.
- 16:25In case it may be too tight. Yeah.
- 16:27And then we think about how the sons and the daughters of the
- 16:30middle mumineen were treated years later in.
- 16:32Karbala a reminds me of a saying, is that how merciful can
- 16:36God be? If I lie is this muscle?
- 16:38Yeah, but you know, Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala is like he's
- 16:43trying to show us his Mercy through highly of them.
- 16:46And this is the mercy of I'll either, what is the most of the
- 16:48god of Ali. Yeah, so it's crazy and it's a
- 16:50small, small things like that, that makes us connect with
- 16:54Allah, you know, as much as we mentioned merits.
- 16:56And remember me, run, momineen and all of this, you know, the
- 16:59Clarion about that in all of these things are all means are
- 17:02all ways and methods that take us closer to Allah subhanahu
- 17:05wa'ta'ala. I'll be very honest with you if
- 17:07I didn't have a lien. My life.
- 17:09I'm a road man. I'm a lost man.
- 17:12Yeah, because I can't see Islam. I can't see.
- 17:17You know rasool Allah. The way he should be represented
- 17:23other than Ali. Who's going to take this.
- 17:25Please tell me who's going to take his position because you
- 17:27have the examples of Mahalia. Let me, let's give an example of
- 17:31my oh yeah. Okay.
- 17:32He was a Muslim. Okay, everyone follow them as a
- 17:36Muslim. Okay, but then what happened?
- 17:39Muslim went into battle with another Muslim.
- 17:41How have these aliens of seeing what happens then what do you
- 17:44do? Like you get confused because
- 17:47hack Bartlett? Correct?
- 17:49Oh no sorry, sorry. Yeah.
- 17:51Okay, so as I most of what you do, if you see a Muslim I'm here
- 17:54on momineen. Another Muslim.
- 17:55Ameer al-mumineen fighting. Each other is confusing, bro.
- 17:59What do you do? I literally along I-95 small
- 18:01area where they allow and One put Scott on on the spear
- 18:06politic praising both in elevators and the Beautiful
- 18:09things about the salami Allah. And that I so I sort of like,
- 18:13put together the other day I was like, you know, martial art one
- 18:16has the rhodiola and these days even anyone.
- 18:19That's a salon everyone because while their loved one, you know,
- 18:21I don't mean to belittle anyone here.
- 18:23But if you look at risk, realistically, I didn't know if
- 18:25Ali was the only one that don't, they don't say Allah, and why
- 18:29Allah has already pleased with him, so they have to say, cut up
- 18:31on the, hwacha the only person so So yeah, if if you are not
- 18:35sure and you just take that small thing, ask, why do my
- 18:40leaders? Not say Allah, Allah Allah who I
- 18:42am. So why is Allah already pleased
- 18:43with him? So we just take our time, all
- 18:45the, hwacha nothing, a starting point.
- 18:47You should think about, mmm. Absolutely.
- 18:49And to be honest said, when we think about a middle mumineen,
- 18:53in these nice, we talked about the Holy Quran, how he's honored
- 18:56in the Quran. Of course, we've got Traditions
- 18:59that hundreds over 300 plus vs. In the car on our Or indirectly
- 19:04related seminal moment in. There's so many examples of this
- 19:08with your permission I'll name a couple for our benefit so to
- 19:12Marta obviously we know 5:55 Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim
- 19:20your only Guardians are all lost one to Allah, his messenger and
- 19:22the fellow Believers and those who establish prayer and pay
- 19:25arms tax with humility. That's of course we know that I
- 19:27have will ire, of course, another one.
- 19:31So it's 98 sort of 98. So, So I met Anna chapters 1 to
- 19:368 but of course specifically this one number 7 but those that
- 19:39believe in work to righteous Deeds they are the best of
- 19:42creatures. So it's in this up versus 4:59
- 19:47Bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim. Yeah, you already know I'm gonna
- 19:50do it a lot but I believe the messenger and those who are in
- 19:59Authority among you if last month other saying, obey Allah,
- 20:03Obey the messenger and Obey those Authority, amongst you all
- 20:06those in Authority. Yeah.
- 20:08I was gonna do that. Tell us, tell us, I mean, I
- 20:10don't know if asking you to obey him, the infinite, the
- 20:19infinitely just must for the time this Creator and if Allah
- 20:22is, asking you to obey and honor.
- 20:24So Allah, Muhammad The Chosen successor, you know, hardener
- 20:28being, you know, this is something that's clear as day
- 20:32and on the same pedestal. On a third level, he's saying
- 20:35obey those with authority amongst you.
- 20:38You know, if the Quran is not naming, I mean, I'm not many in
- 20:41here without saying his name, you know, what, who else is it
- 20:44named? Because who else is even on a
- 20:47level to compare, ultimately, my my have, you got something you
- 20:51want to say about? Yeah, the fact you're courting.
- 20:53I lived a polyp universes of the Quran is only fair that we also
- 20:57called Summer Hadith in his honor.
- 20:58Yes. And if I can, these are coming
- 21:00directly from my soul Allah and the ones I'm saying here.
- 21:03Not from us. Okay, it's from is unanimous all
- 21:08schools of faith believing that idea I'm going to start with a
- 21:12few. I will and Charles you'll
- 21:15understand the position. I live in the be a pilot has
- 21:17addressed similar. Name is not a verse.
- 21:21I lie is my brother, my executor, and my successor
- 21:24amongst you and Obey him. Then he took out his hands and
- 21:29he said, am I not closer to the faithful than their own Souls?
- 21:33Yes. They said they declared.
- 21:35He said, am I not worthy of each?
- 21:37One of them than their own sold? Yes, they responded.
- 21:40He said then this is the friend, the protector, the Whaley of
- 21:43each person for whom I am there, Willie o, Allah protect
- 21:47whomever, he protects. Oh my god.
- 21:50Oh, Allah be, the enemy of whoever is the enemy to him.
- 21:54Truly Ali is from me. And I am from him, and he is the
- 21:57Willie of every believer. After me, God plays the children
- 22:01of all profits in their backbone but placed my Children and the
- 22:04backbone of I lie. I am the master of the revealed
- 22:07left of the Quran and Ali is the master of the spiritual war on
- 22:11Ali bin. ABI Talib is the one who has the
- 22:13knowledge of the water, as well as the Barton the seen.
- 22:17And the Unseen Ali is with the Quran and the Quran is, would I
- 22:20lie and they will never separate from each other and told their
- 22:23return to me at the pool Marshall.
- 22:25Father, I need to just these, this is this is not, you know,
- 22:30you know, Nigel Barraza and I will Books.
- 22:34Let's say she a box. This is unanimous books were all
- 22:38Muslims. Accept any, if you, if you are
- 22:43too blind to the verses of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in His Holy
- 22:46scripture in the Quran, take this Hadith that you take as
- 22:49scripture to yourself. Yeah.
- 22:54I don't understand why people put like a barrier or a distance
- 22:58or like a curtain between them and the truth.
- 23:02Honey. If Now hand, the Knights of
- 23:04Destiny and we are searching for the truth.
- 23:08And the truth is with Ali may Allah guide, you, mmm.
- 23:12So, and, you know, minimum minions sets a lot of examples
- 23:15and also his understanding of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
- 23:19You know there's so many Hadith about a million more minions
- 23:22appreciation of Allah. So for example, just to name two
- 23:26which I know we've discussed in previous week's.
- 23:28The first is when the minimum minion says to remember Allah
- 23:32before during and After every action.
- 23:34Yes. Or for example, the minimum you
- 23:36need says, do not be the ones who on the first level worship a
- 23:40lot out of fear of punishment and the second level worship,
- 23:44Allah out of ambition of reward and on the third level, be the
- 23:49one who worships Allah because Allah is worthy of worship.
- 23:52You know, when we think about these things, how Amir
- 23:55al-mumineen approached his relationship with Allah subhana,
- 23:58Allah, it sets an example to us on how we should be, not just in
- 24:02these holy nights. In all the around, all year, the
- 24:05way we should live our life 365, 24/7, a sense and you know these
- 24:09especially on these nights. When we think about these coming
- 24:13nights, and in the last few nights, we have of Shadow move
- 24:16on how to spend those nights. If it were me, I'm literally
- 24:20talking about myself, I'm not trying to guide or like preach
- 24:24to anyone. But for me, on a personal level,
- 24:26I think it's about just trying to make the most of the time we
- 24:30have left. You know.
- 24:32I mean I'm not minions says in his His last will to Imam
- 24:35Hassan. This is crazy.
- 24:36Yeah, my dear son, lets it be known to you that the decay of
- 24:40my health passing away of time and Nearness of death have made
- 24:44me realize that I should give more thought to my future in the
- 24:48next World and to my people advise them more and spend more
- 24:52time in equipping them mentally to face this world.
- 24:55When I mean, and what we need is on his deathbed and he's telling
- 24:57him. Uh, my mom had had some in this
- 24:59slum. He's saying, I wish.
- 25:01I'd spent more time in In preparing myself for the Accra.
- 25:05You know, that this is a man who was also a lot on those topping
- 25:09that with all of the right things that minimum did he still
- 25:13said I should have done more. I could have done more.
- 25:15Not to say that minimum need didn't achieve Perfection
- 25:18because he did. He absolutely did undisputedly
- 25:21did but Imam Ali. Alaihi Salam, approached Allah
- 25:25subhanaw taala with the ultimate knowledge that he his eternal
- 25:28Abode will be amongst Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the you
- 25:33know, he Will be amongst the other atoms.
- 25:36Basically have a Salam and eternally will be in the next
- 25:39life. Now in these nights, I think we
- 25:41should reflect more. You know it's all well and good
- 25:47attending modulus and repeating that on my like parrot, like you
- 25:51said, but to ultimately gain a minute of of pure connection
- 25:56with the Holy Quran, with our last one or two Allah asking
- 26:00forgiveness doing us too far, like you mentioned saying all
- 26:03for Pull having that ambition. I will make this change in my
- 26:06life. That small moment of motivation
- 26:10can set you a light for the next coming year.
- 26:14You know this is there's a reason why this Holy Night these
- 26:17holy nights, I should say, in terms of layout of God that are
- 26:20connected. Have you?
- 26:21No more believed because he's given us the recipe for success
- 26:25and if we can understand how he achieved that there's nothing
- 26:29really left for us to do. We just have to follow the
- 26:31guidance if you're studying. Or an exam.
- 26:34And I say here's a textbook. Every answer is in here.
- 26:37Mmm. Just try and understand where
- 26:39your, the questions might come from your answers.
- 26:41You'll know them, if you read the right stuff, you've got the
- 26:43right guidance, will be fine, but we sometimes don't do the
- 26:46work. We don't do the research, we
- 26:48don't we don't give it thought and time, we don't appreciate
- 26:52the gems we've been given. And then, ultimately, what
- 26:55happens is we slip our time passes, like a mom.
- 26:59I need says, I'll Time Slips and we near-death our bodies decay.
- 27:04And we will finally, finally, realizes, too late, when you
- 27:08know, that's the truth. Yeah, the ultimate truth is
- 27:11death, you know, collapse and die.
- 27:13Almost every sort shall taste death.
- 27:15And sometimes we forget that our ultimate goal is Jenna one.
- 27:18Yeah. And but our ultimate goal here
- 27:20on this Earth is to please Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala?
- 27:22Yes. Yeah.
- 27:23So it's very important to you know, if we are going to make a
- 27:26change, if we are going to better our self, we are going to
- 27:29improve our relationship with Allah.
- 27:31We are going to improve our relationship.
- 27:33What? Salah with or on with the, a
- 27:35debate of rasulallah with increasing our knowledge,
- 27:37whatever it is, we have to remember the ultimate goal is
- 27:40Jenna and the only way to achieve that, the by not going
- 27:43back changes, we've made you realistic that is a very nice
- 27:47one. You've mentioned because there's
- 27:48no point you know, doing something doing this too far for
- 27:51going against what you try to improve that.
- 27:53Then going back and you just going back and forth like a
- 27:55Non-Stop battle with you. Shaitaan and Allah and it's
- 27:58like, you don't know. So inshallah, you know, through
- 28:01the blessings and the love of them here.
- 28:03Not many being the night of Destiny and being at the same
- 28:07time, the night where Imam Ali was struck in prostration.
- 28:11Let's Ponder on that prostration, you know, even when
- 28:15he was struck, he said, footstool, wearable, Cobble.
- 28:18Cobble, you know, I am victorious by the lord of the
- 28:21cabin and he was born in the cabin.
- 28:22Look at, look at look at the beauty of that saying.
- 28:24Go to the car. Yeah.
- 28:25And and yeah, honey, there is a reason behind I think every
- 28:29saying and every lesson that we can derive from aluminium body
- 28:33panels, Mr. Now and you said just before, I jumped in here on
- 28:38the conversation a bit earlier is that for example I was
- 28:40saying, you know I'm not I'm still not doing enough, it's not
- 28:44him Tara technically saying he's not doing enough, he's doing
- 28:46more than enough. Absolutely.
- 28:47It's a lesson for us, it's how we can do more in his will and
- 28:51this will is still with us today.
- 28:53You can be can be found online at least Lambda organ.
- 28:55So many other places as well. Yeah, you're right.
- 28:57You know, imma do you have a favorite saying from Ali?
- 29:00IBN ABI Talib from him directly. Not about But something from him
- 29:04directly that you can apply in your life for example, you know,
- 29:08when someone asks you on the spot is very hot.
- 29:11Yeah, I think, if all of us were to put our minds together, we
- 29:14could probably I hope come up with, like, a hundred plus
- 29:16Hadith of a minimum opening, but I'm going to need a minute if
- 29:20you don't want to say, okay, I'm going to need a minute, because
- 29:22I could try and find the one that clicks.
- 29:24I have a couple that come into my mind, but it's hard on the
- 29:27spot because like I said a minimum allele is from doesn't
- 29:30have just one character or that there's So much.
- 29:33So many personas some with endless multi-dimension.
- 29:37Multi-dimensional Imam, you know.
- 29:39I like because we have so much like a well, that's not to say
- 29:43that the other moms at him Salam were not on a level of eczema,
- 29:47or infallibility, or anything like that.
- 29:48No, no. I think it's V verse in.
- 29:50First of all, mostly a minimum in was occupied such a prominent
- 29:53position in the eyes of Islam at the time that I was also lying.
- 29:57Of course as we lost $1 metaphorically, speaking and
- 30:00there's such a wealth of History.
- 30:03Yeah, abundance of History, richest, very rich history that
- 30:07we could probably. And there's no rushing it's
- 30:09Absolution or if we could probably put a biography
- 30:12together of Imam Ali's life, 60-odd years, on Earth, month by
- 30:16month, from birth to death. You see what I mean with the
- 30:19other moms that Islam? We may not have that level of
- 30:23wealth of knowledge or history to give us that.
- 30:26So whether you're talking about Imam, Ali in battle, and his
- 30:28etiquettes, with fighting enemies or with a captives in
- 30:31the women when you're talking about.
- 30:33In my mind, the way he would treat the poor and the needy.
- 30:36The orphans all, when you're talking about a mom Eileen the
- 30:38way he would God, the holy prophet role.
- 30:40They mom was perfect and every wish Allah, Masha, Allah.
- 30:43Yeah, yeah, honestly, that's Russell has his merits because I
- 30:52think the most suited towards, for example, celebrating him.
- 30:54Yes example, you know, stuff like that.
- 30:58I'm trying to keep it as. Yeah.
- 31:03Say, well, that's important that we bring these up at times
- 31:06because it emphasizes and it shows the importance of his
- 31:08position. And his position is not
- 31:10something to be taken easily because if we don't give I lie
- 31:15the status, he deserves and the position that Allah himself
- 31:19chose to put highly in rasool Allah himself, raised his arm on
- 31:22the day of last year. Again, I don't want to go into
- 31:24those celebrate celebration mode, but if we don't focus on
- 31:29these points. Mmm, I'll be Muslim.
- 31:32Mmm, because Ali connects you to a slaw Malika next year to hold
- 31:37on. Ali connects you to sauna.
- 31:38Ali can execute also, Lolly connects you to everything he
- 31:42created. He connects you to gender, and
- 31:44he is the Divide of heaven and hell, because human or even
- 31:48generate ultimately, I lie is a lie and I don't need to say more
- 31:52and whenever I say I do have a smile on my face.
- 31:55I don't know why. First Shalala, you know, is what
- 31:59our mothers have given us my lovely.
- 32:01Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 32:03Tonight could I share a nice saying?
- 32:05I like off and I always had this and maybe maybe a lot of people
- 32:09have heard this before. And before I say this before, I
- 32:12say the saying smash that subscribe button.
- 32:15Yeah, and inshallah, don't forget to follow us on Spotify
- 32:17and apple podcast so you always are fighting with the latest
- 32:21conversations and my favorite saying from Ali bin ABI Talib
- 32:24himself as when he says, live amongst people in such a way
- 32:29that's when you are alive, they Crave Your Press Company.
- 32:32Yeah, And when you die they weep over you and if you actually
- 32:36think of that, that means you have to be the best Muslim.
- 32:40Forget being the best person. You have to be the best Muslim,
- 32:43you possibly can be because if you want people to Crave your
- 32:47company, I'm not saying come and crave attention from people.
- 32:50But if you actually, you know, put yourself on the path towards
- 32:54Allah and you become the best person humanly possible, you can
- 32:58be Allah will make people want to be in your presence.
- 33:02Yeah, that's technically. What the hey, thief is trying to
- 33:04say, and that when you die, you shall.
- 33:08I have a long life at MIT show, but if you die, I will weep over
- 33:11you. I'll be honest because the way
- 33:13you are living right now, the way I'm benefiting from you
- 33:15right now, Say just to kind honestly, if you die.
- 33:19Now, may Allah. Grant you a long life?
- 33:21No, no, no. I will let hoping you like that.
- 33:23That's, that's my the reason why I'm saying this is important
- 33:26because this reality is in something that we all need to
- 33:29factor in and consider. And it's a nice thing to always
- 33:31Ponder on. Yeah.
- 33:32Are we really living the best way we are?
- 33:34Yeah, I'll be really, you know, when we leave this world, are
- 33:37people going to cry for us over our money and wealth and
- 33:40inheritance. Or they're going to cry that
- 33:41they truly miss us for who we really are, as Muslims.
- 33:45Ultimately, we will. Always be, we can try and
- 33:48deceive the world. We can try and put on a fake
- 33:51image. We can try and show how
- 33:52religious we are. We can try and be someone we're
- 33:56not in public and someone else privately we cannot hide
- 33:59anything. We can't deceive, Allah, spawn,
- 34:01to Allah. And ultimately those true, the
- 34:03acts that I'm a that we accumulate on this Earth will be
- 34:06the only things that we take with us in the next one.
- 34:09And after we leave this world, the Legacy We Leave Behind will
- 34:13be in my opinion. Will will show the Wild what
- 34:17sort of person you were? If the way people remember, the
- 34:20way people speak of you, if you're given the status of being
- 34:23a Shaheed while says, and how you're caught on that, you will
- 34:27do not say they are dead because they are, they're still alive in
- 34:30amongst us in the sense that Shaheed maintains a legacy.
- 34:34And of course that goes are receiving sustenance from a lot.
- 34:37Yeah. So anyway, that's a beautiful
- 34:39thing. I want to kind of from my part
- 34:40and on one point and then I'll ask you something.
- 34:45Actually, I want to ask you something.
- 34:46Yeah. Can I go for it before you gone?
- 34:49We take turns. Yeah.
- 34:50You know, there's a previous podcast where we spoke about an
- 34:54evening with Oliver, I mean, emotionally Salam, where you
- 34:57refer to him. I'm Ed as the walking Quran.
- 35:01Yeah, for a second. I thought twice and I was like
- 35:05no I agree with him but I saw like comments.
- 35:09And yeah, it sounds like some hype happening over.
- 35:12What you mentioned referring to. I didn't invite Ali Fazal number
- 35:15one. Why did you Say that.
- 35:17Yeah. Number two.
- 35:20Do you regret saying that? I would take that to my grave.
- 35:24I will never ever, ever, ever, ever disassociate from that.
- 35:28And for those who know me, I'm usually quite politically
- 35:31correct, but that's something I don't regret at all saying.
- 35:35Minimum mean, if he's not, the walking caught on what is he or,
- 35:38who is, you know, when he is the one, who, who assisted or slum
- 35:43hammered in propagating, the revelation of Allah span Tyler
- 35:46to him when he was the backbone of Sola, Muhammad was Allah
- 35:50Muhammad said in my absence go to Ali Saleh was the number one
- 35:55Ally. Was there.
- 35:55His absence to act as a number one?
- 35:57Who also loves not that the walking got on he would
- 36:00propagate when he was sent to abyssinia to spread Islam when
- 36:04he was sent to different parts of the to the Islamic empire.
- 36:07Who was there talking about teaching, the Quran, the verses
- 36:10of got on the message of the Quran who was it was a highly
- 36:13available and if you don't know if that is someone who's walking
- 36:16knowledge, someone who's walking to different parts of the old
- 36:19world, with the knowledge of the They are the walking foot on.
- 36:22Hmm. And I'm not just talking about a
- 36:24tough Syria and the old. Whoever it is.
- 36:26I'm talking about genuine, perfect, god-given understanding
- 36:31of what the words of the Holy Quran are, and what they mean.
- 36:35As I mentioned earlier than how, do you think that's a lava where
- 36:37he talks about? The understand dissemination of
- 36:39knowledge of history, and past events, the knowledge of the
- 36:43future, and the present, how the Quran can age your suffering,
- 36:46and give you a reward. Or, as if I'm paraphrasing, what
- 36:48was like the how do you find mission?
- 36:49Where rasulallah I said I live basically knows the seen and the
- 36:53Unseen. Yes, yeah, he's with the Quran.
- 36:55And the Quran is with Ali and they will never separate until
- 36:58the full of coffee. Yes.
- 37:00So that's my opinion that I don't regret that at all.
- 37:02And I don't think you know, I don't know if it's if it's
- 37:06something, all Muslims would agree with.
- 37:08But I think it's something that we can't deny my phone from my
- 37:12pot. The last thing I'll say is
- 37:14there's a short thing in order and I'd say it's recited.
- 37:19I don't know who the shot at it. But in verse recitation is
- 37:22recited by our dear and respected, recited Mirror Has to
- 37:26mirror what he says, Bob are in the Masjid the Hawaii, Kai
- 37:30Masjid Mac MacDonald and basically, in in Translation, I
- 37:33means two times were where they made.
- 37:38Sure he didn't Salah. The first was in the Masjid.
- 37:41The second was in the muck Todd and it connects the story of a
- 37:45minimum and even with the story about love her saying so long
- 37:47lives this and in my Miley lslamic, This last will of his
- 37:52and these nights. He says, to her mom has said,
- 37:54and I'm paraphrasing also talking to Mom how I said my
- 37:56dear son. Mmm.
- 37:57You are a part of my body and soul.
- 38:00Whenever I look at you, it's as if I feel, I'm looking at
- 38:02myself, if any calamities before you, I feel as if as if it's
- 38:06before the me, your death will make me feel as if it was my own
- 38:11death in your Affairs are to me like my own Affairs.
- 38:13So when let me ask you, when a Miley was struck on the head in
- 38:18so dude, in the nights of Milan and he says that, your death
- 38:23will make me feel like my own death.
- 38:24How do we think a minimum minion felt when his son was struck on
- 38:27the head and the Sands of karbala This is something that
- 38:31we have to resonate with mmm, you know, about the doctor
- 38:36saying, continue the message of a minimum when you ignore
- 38:39minimum in and continue the messengers of Allah Muhammad and
- 38:42that the golden chain because in a lot, it continues.
- 38:47So inshallah we can all learn. We can benefit from these
- 38:50blessed knives is nights of power in Destiny.
