Jakson Illusions vs. Reality: Understanding True Devotion täydellinen litterointi

For no circumstance is devoid of wisdom. 00:02:43.305 --> 00:02:47.765 Which means that everything that is befalling us at this moment in time, 00:02:48.065 --> 00:02:56.805 we deserve it because it is predestined by Allah and also everything that takes place in my life. 00:02:56.805 --> 00:03:00.445 Because Allah is just Allah is 00:03:00.445 --> 00:03:03.645 always just so whatever has happened 00:03:03.645 --> 00:03:10.605 to me is perfectly okay and I should be grateful not only patient but grateful 00:03:10.605 --> 00:03:18.045 talking about how purification can affect the person I said that if somebody 00:03:18.045 --> 00:03:20.605 you're meeting starts to abuse you. 00:03:21.785 --> 00:03:29.485 Could bear it with patience feel angry inside and then try to control yourself. 00:03:29.765 --> 00:03:31.765 That is in the lowest of levels. 00:03:32.805 --> 00:03:34.885 Then the other level is to be 00:03:34.885 --> 00:03:41.665 unaffected because you understand that what he's saying is not only true, 00:03:41.945 --> 00:03:48.745 but actually I'm worse than what he's telling me about. 00:03:49.125 --> 00:03:51.525 I'm worse than what he's describing. in Ezra. 00:03:52.145 --> 00:03:58.045 So, in one way, it is a matter to be happy that you're receiving compliments 00:03:58.045 --> 00:04:00.625 and not the truth from the person. 00:04:01.605 --> 00:04:07.025 Another level is where you're able to say that the very fact that this person 00:04:07.025 --> 00:04:13.805 has considered it appropriate to talk about you, who is nothing, 00:04:14.725 --> 00:04:16.605 is a great compliment. 00:04:18.494 --> 00:04:24.794 You remember that story I talked about Majnun and Layla, where Layla hit it. 00:04:25.114 --> 00:04:27.194 And it gave him ecstasy. 00:04:27.714 --> 00:04:34.154 He was in ecstasy because he said for her to react to me like that, 00:04:34.294 --> 00:04:39.054 where she did not react like that to anyone, is a cause for celebration. 00:04:39.674 --> 00:04:42.554 So can you imagine if you magnify that? 00:04:42.874 --> 00:04:45.914 When we receive anything from Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, 00:04:45.914 --> 00:04:49.834 the very fact that in his august presence 00:04:49.834 --> 00:04:53.074 in his august attention he has 00:04:53.074 --> 00:04:55.914 focused on me is a cause 00:04:55.914 --> 00:05:03.414 for celebration and a cause for ecstasy so patience is the least gratitude is 00:05:03.414 --> 00:05:10.074 the next ecstasy is the ultimate without the will of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala 00:05:10.074 --> 00:05:13.314 no creation can have any domination. 00:05:14.094 --> 00:05:17.194 Over another creation every creation 00:05:17.194 --> 00:05:20.454 is helpless before and subordinate 00:05:20.454 --> 00:05:23.734 to Allah the Almighty neither can 00:05:23.734 --> 00:05:27.134 anyone impose anyone on anyone nor 00:05:27.134 --> 00:05:30.194 depose anyone except with the ill of 00:05:30.194 --> 00:05:37.554 Allah the Almighty the manifestation of

the Holy Quran is the Holy Prophet and 00:05:37.554 --> 00:05:45.834 the manifestation of the Sunnah is the Faqr-i Haidri that is asceticism of Hazrat 00:05:45.834 --> 00:05:48.614 Ali May Allah the Almighty bless him. 00:05:49.754 --> 00:05:52.554 So I think we have done this section it is 00:05:52.554 --> 00:05:55.994 my failing and shortcoming that I did not write it 00:05:55.994 --> 00:06:00.954 down or maybe we haven't taped this because on that day the tape was not working 00:06:00.954 --> 00:06:06.654 maybe we just talked about it and not taped it because I know remember we have 00:06:06.654 --> 00:06:10.994 talked about this So the manifestation of the Holy Quran is the Holy Prophet 00:06:10.994 --> 00:06:14.594 ﷺ and the manifestation of the sunnah of Rasulullah, 00:06:15.194 --> 00:06:21.894 is the asceticism of Hadar Ali, Zuhd of Hadar Ali. May Allah the Almighty bless him. 00:06:22.294 --> 00:06:28.734 To dance wildly by taking hemp is not faqri hydri, it is an insult. 00:06:30.773 --> 00:06:35.793 As I mentioned to you again, Sufi organizations, you see, this is an evidence 00:06:35.793 --> 00:06:37.493 of what we are talking about. 00:06:37.813 --> 00:06:44.053 In the name of Sufism, they are justifying actions which are not permissible in Islam. 00:06:44.453 --> 00:06:48.493 You see the danger? It is absolutely openly clear. 00:06:48.813 --> 00:06:54.213 These people are actually violating the Sunnah of Rasulullah, 00:06:54.913 --> 00:07:01.153 violating the haram and halal of the Sharia. And yet, in their heart, 00:07:01.253 --> 00:07:03.373 they're justifying it because it is Sufis. 00:07:04.113 --> 00:07:05.433 So, they take hemp. 00:07:06.313 --> 00:07:10.333 Hemp is some kind of intoxicant, some kind of drug. 00:07:11.133 --> 00:07:14.853 There is a black sect also, Brother Abdelkarmel may remember, 00:07:15.493 --> 00:07:18.533 they're called, who use drugs openly. 00:07:19.573 --> 00:07:26.233 They have, you know, the hair comes out in... It's a rust. Exactly. Am I not right? 00:07:28.293 --> 00:07:32.633 They take drugs openly they say that it helps them attain close to Allah, 00:07:34.553 --> 00:07:41.213 so in a final degree I don't want to hit me and you in a final degree cups of 00:07:41.213 --> 00:07:49.053 coffee, cups of tea there's not much difference if we remain awake in the love of Allah, 00:07:50.073 --> 00:07:55.013 and His dhikr and His ibadah that keeps us awake Alhamdulillah we are in pure 00:07:55.013 --> 00:08:00.053 worship But if we are able to worship Him because a stimulant is within us, 00:08:00.253 --> 00:08:04.173 a thing is within us, keeps us awake, then there is something wrong. 00:08:05.013 --> 00:08:10.073 So the pure worship of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is very difficult to attain. 00:08:11.562 --> 00:08:17.982 Inshallah, if He takes us step by step to keep awake, then Allah is merciful. 00:08:18.542 --> 00:08:22.862 He will give us His rewards, maybe give us pleasure that at least we are making 00:08:22.862 --> 00:08:26.802 that effort to drink a cup of tea and then keep remaining awake. 00:08:27.082 --> 00:08:32.802 Maybe sooner or later He will give us the strength and power to enjoy His ecstasy 00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:35.182 to such a degree that we don't need those things. 00:08:35.182 --> 00:08:38.382 So dancing wildly by 00:08:38.382 --> 00:08:47.182 taking him is not the way of Hazrat Ali and his Zuhd complete obedience and 00:08:47.182 --> 00:08:55.382 following of the Sunnah is Faqri Haidri Faqri Haidri means the asceticism of Hazrat Ali. 00:08:56.602 --> 00:09:01.602 Haidr Haidr is the meaning Haidr is a sword is that it? 00:09:01.862 --> 00:09:07.722 Haidr Haidr Haidr means a sword it was used to be called the sword of Islam 00:09:07.722 --> 00:09:14.522 sword of Allah so that is the word I'm not 100% sure the word Haidri is used 00:09:14.522 --> 00:09:17.882 for Hazrat Ali because of his, 00:09:18.542 --> 00:09:24.182 ghazwas and because of his bravery and all in the path of Islam, 00:09:25.082 --> 00:09:28.342 complete following of the Sunnah is the Faqr 00:09:28.342 --> 00:09:31.222 Haidri asceticism of Hazrat Ali 00:09:31.222 --> 00:09:34.062 by Allah the Almighty O my 00:09:34.062 --> 00:09:36.842 dear it is only complete following of 00:09:36.842 --> 00:09:40.662 the sunnah which is the faqr-e-hydrin this palace 00:09:40.662 --> 00:09:44.142 these accumulations these entertainments 00:09:44.142 --> 00:09:46.842 these festivities are not the 00:09:46.842 --> 00:09:54.442 following of sunnah but in fact are its open violation the holy prophet spent 00:09:54.442 --> 00:10:00.842 the whole of his time on a palm mat he never ate to his fill nor did he ever 00:10:00.842 --> 00:10:05.262 wear any rich dress and such abstinence is an obligatory sunnah, 00:10:05.422 --> 00:10:08.402 which none of us can practice. 00:10:09.542 --> 00:10:15.382 No one has seen any patch on any of our clothes, although it is a sunnah-u-mawkidah. 00:10:16.342 --> 00:10:22.582 If the curry is exhausted, the guest is responsible, but if the loaves are exhausted, 00:10:22.902 --> 00:10:24.622 the host is responsible. 00:10:25.062 --> 00:10:29.042 In the prominent educational institutions of Tariqatul Islam, 00:10:29.802 --> 00:10:35.962 to eat two loaves with one pickled Sebastian is the usual practice. 00:10:36.502 --> 00:10:42.182 In our mystic language we say this, if the curry finishes, it is the eater's 00:10:42.182 --> 00:10:45.882 fault, if the loaves finish, it is the feeder's fault. 00:10:46.582 --> 00:10:53.542 Means that, if I am not mistaken, when we are in Dao Lehsan. 00:10:55.188 --> 00:10:58.768 Food is served, the food is of the simplest humblest nature, 00:10:59.328 --> 00:11:02.208 and each one is given two loaves of bread. 00:11:02.928 --> 00:11:06.088 And that is all, almost second helpings. 00:11:06.888 --> 00:11:12.608 So, if the loaves run out, obviously the host has not counted two for each. 00:11:13.608 --> 00:11:19.048

And if the curry runs out, it means the guests are eating too much of curry. 00:11:19.648 --> 00:11:22.588 O Muslim, you are ignorant of your 00:11:22.588 --> 00:11:27.128 status you are such a creation of Allah the Almighty that when you are living 00:11:27.128 --> 00:11:32.228 in the world everything in the universe prays for your success and sends blessing 00:11:32.228 --> 00:11:37.788 on you so much so that even an ant is not aware of your status and when you 00:11:37.788 --> 00:11:42.308 die everything in the universe weeps for you the earth weeps, 00:11:42.508 --> 00:11:47.968 the sky weeps it is a pity that you are in such a deep slumber of forgetfulness 00:11:47.968 --> 00:11:50.808 that no call awakens you. 00:11:51.248 --> 00:11:58.508 O Muslim, don't you know the enemies of Allah the Almighty are bent upon annihilating you? 00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:05.288 Have you not considered that all the big powers are united on one front to annihilate you? 00:12:05.648 --> 00:12:10.548 But you cannot be annihilated. You are the flag bearer of Tawheed, 00:12:10.748 --> 00:12:14.948 oneness of Allah the Almighty, and of the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ. 00:12:14.948 --> 00:12:19.568 You cannot be annihilated and no one can ever eliminate you. 00:12:19.788 --> 00:12:26.188 The powers inimical to the Deen of Islam are in pursuit of you and are on the lookout for you. 00:12:26.668 --> 00:12:31.648 They can never annihilate you because you have not come here to be annihilated 00:12:31.648 --> 00:12:33.548 but to annihilate others. 00:12:34.488 --> 00:12:40.648 From time to time in various gatherings you will hear people complaining about 00:12:40.648 --> 00:12:44.928 America, complaining about how they have formed their front against Islam. 00:12:46.408 --> 00:12:48.668 And always complain, complain, complain. 00:12:50.354 --> 00:12:54.434 If the kufar are true to what they are supposed to do, why should it be a surprise? 00:12:55.314 --> 00:13:01.374 The sadness is that we are allowing them to succeed, we are allowing them to 00:13:01.374 --> 00:13:04.134 form this front against them. 00:13:04.554 --> 00:13:09.234 They will do that. The forces of evil, the forces of disbelief, 00:13:09.514 --> 00:13:15.894 have always been against the forces of believers, and forces of right, and forces of good. 00:13:15.894 --> 00:13:19.754 So it is not surprising that the kuffar would like to anahid it is, 00:13:19.894 --> 00:13:21.314 because that is the nature of kuffar. 00:13:21.854 --> 00:13:26.714 But what is surprising is that the Muslims are so disarrayed, 00:13:26.874 --> 00:13:30.534 if there is any complaint, it should be against our own selves. 00:13:31.274 --> 00:13:35.694 We are, they are doing their job. Kuffar are doing their job. 00:13:36.574 --> 00:13:39.434 Unfortunately, better than we are doing our job. 00:13:39.434 --> 00:13:48.994 A person taking a book written by a person went to another person and begged for comments He said, 00:13:49.294 --> 00:13:55.154 the deen of Islam has flowed from Allah the Almighty and His Holy Prophet Muhammad 00:13:55.154 --> 00:14:02.354 ﷺ Please tell me if there is any deficiency in it The author of this book is 00:14:02.354 --> 00:14:07.514 a scholar like yourself not a prophet Every deed depends on intention, 00:14:08.154 --> 00:14:11.914 Surely there was no disrespect in his intention If 00:14:11.914 --> 00:14:14.774 there is any deficiency in his writing May Allah the 00:14:14.774 --> 00:14:17.594 Almighty forgive him Allah the Almighty has the 00:14:17.594 --> 00:14:20.514 power to make up every deficiency Even if 00:14:20.514 --> 00:14:25.734 there is any unintentional deficiency in this huge book We cannot call it disrespect 00:14:25.734 --> 00:14:31.934 This is an age of decline If in this age this attitude of criticism is given 00:14:31.934 --> 00:14:37.714 up There is hope of blessings The deen has come from Allah the Almighty and 00:14:37.714 --> 00:14:38.774 His Holy Prophet, Salasam, 00:14:38.934 --> 00:14:41.094 and it is meant for one and all, 00:14:41.294 --> 00:14:44.514 for the whole of the universe until the day of the resurrection. 00:14:44.894 --> 00:14:49.134 And there is no deficiency in the deen. It is complete in all respects. 00:14:49.474 --> 00:14:52.034 In this deen, is this deen not enough? 00:14:52.794 --> 00:14:56.214 Religions are man-made and are different from each other. 00:14:56.714 --> 00:15:01.854 Four schools are well known. The followers of all the four schools are on the right path. 00:15:02.134 --> 00:15:05.394 We are not to indulge in arguments more than this. 00:15:05.394 --> 00:15:09.534 This is final inshallah we'll 00:15:09.534 --> 00:15:12.574 stop here or we have some time inshallah 00:15:12.574 --> 00:15:15.594 we have zuhur at 1.10 right so we 00:15:15.594 --> 00:15:21.494 have another 5 minutes inshallah we'll finish this the servant of Allah the 00:15:21.494 --> 00:15:28.194 Almighty while engrossed in dhikr and obedience of Allah the Almighty wishes 00:15:28.194 --> 00:15:32.614 well and prays for and serves the creation of Allah the Almighty, 00:15:33.354 --> 00:15:36.674 But he does not come in between the Creator and the creation. 00:15:37.154 --> 00:15:42.994 Taking the divine decree as prudence and prudence as a blessing of Allah the 00:15:42.994 --> 00:15:48.494 Almighty, he accepts it gladly and does not criticize it. 00:15:50.327 --> 00:15:56.507 Complaint, criticisms are a flaw in any character. 00:15:57.667 --> 00:16:03.787 The real servants of Allah, they are really busy and engrossed in the zikr of Allah Almighty. 00:16:04.207 --> 00:16:11.827 And in the obedience of Allah Almighty, they have no time and inclination to criticize others. 00:16:12.127 --> 00:16:18.587 They have no time and intention to argue with others, complain against others. 00:16:19.407 --> 00:16:23.567 Because if we complain about a situation it is like we are complaining against 00:16:23.567 --> 00:16:31.187 Allah

because that situation would not be in existence unless Allah had built it to happen. 00:16:31.687 --> 00:16:36.847 For the international importance of any country industry plays a vital role. 00:16:37.927 --> 00:16:43.767 The lantern of Chand Marka, the crescent mark is sold for three rupees but it 00:16:43.767 --> 00:16:46.087 cannot last for more than three days anywhere. 00:16:46.087 --> 00:16:49.087 If not on the second day, on the third day, 00:16:49.307 --> 00:16:54.907 it surely flickers and goes out And this is the result of our industrial effort 00:16:54.907 --> 00:17:04.427 for 25 years If its durability had been up to international standards Then even if it had cost 30 rupees, 00:17:04.667 --> 00:17:08.007 the buyer would not have objected to it Having bought it, 00:17:08.427 --> 00:17:13.747 he would have lit it with satisfaction for a considerable length of time So, 00:17:14.007 --> 00:17:19.627 Babaji is picking up our models, our industrial models also, 00:17:20.067 --> 00:17:26.327 that while he was writing these words of wisdom, at that time, 00:17:26.407 --> 00:17:29.727 I think Pakistan was 25 years in its independence. 00:17:30.447 --> 00:17:37.347 And he's saying that there are maybe a lantern, you know, that he uses, 00:17:37.567 --> 00:17:38.927 he doesn't use electricity. 00:17:39.767 --> 00:17:45.987 Everything there is with these lanterns and lit by the thing in an oil, 00:17:46.307 --> 00:17:50.307 with a glass thing over there, that's how they're used there. 00:17:50.627 --> 00:17:56.207 So what he's saying is, the crescent in the star is the stamp of Islam. 00:17:56.207 --> 00:18:04.267 So these lanterns are manufactured in Pakistan by a company which has that stamp, 00:18:04.387 --> 00:18:06.847 that's their symbol, a logo as it is called. 00:18:07.267 --> 00:18:14.227 And that's what Babaji is saying, that the strength or importance of any country 00:18:14.227 --> 00:18:20.187 on a worldly level is gauged by its industrial products. 00:18:21.687 --> 00:18:23.887 So what he's saying is that, 00:18:25.013 --> 00:18:33.353 Pakistani industry, in spite of 25 years of an effort, is so bad that if not 00:18:33.353 --> 00:18:38.613 on the second day, on the third day, the thing flickers and goes out. 00:18:39.013 --> 00:18:42.753 And this is the result of our industrial efforts for 25 years. 00:18:43.093 --> 00:18:48.733 What he's saying is, if its durability had been up to international standards, 00:18:49.553 --> 00:18:55.073 then even Even if it had cost ten times more, the buyer would not have objected to buy it. 00:18:55.313 --> 00:19:00.793 Having bought it, he would have lit it with satisfaction for a considerable length of time. 00:19:01.313 --> 00:19:07.053 This is true, and I have had an experience of this, personal experience, 00:19:07.313 --> 00:19:13.613 that my brother-in-law used to work for a cosmetic company in Pakistan, 00:19:14.033 --> 00:19:17.013 and he was given to handle some export. 00:19:17.753 --> 00:19:23.713 And I believe they sent some samples to a country from there that received a big order, 00:19:24.833 --> 00:19:31.773 and he saw when he checked that they were selling absolutely substandard, 00:19:32.093 --> 00:19:36.593 third-rate things bottling them up and shipping against that order. 00:19:37.173 --> 00:19:44.893 See, it does not make even the common sense why any kind of business would do that. 00:19:45.573 --> 00:19:48.753 But that is true. They have cheated. 00:19:50.413 --> 00:19:59.953 I was in England at one point and Pakistan makes excellent surgical goods. 00:20:00.513 --> 00:20:06.193 At one time, the textiles were superb, but they had such a terrible reputation 00:20:06.193 --> 00:20:10.793 that they show something, supply something different, substandard, 00:20:11.073 --> 00:20:14.433 and spoil the entire market. 00:20:14.893 --> 00:20:18.713 Now, I admit that there is a scheme always. 00:20:19.173 --> 00:20:23.393 Rabbi Ahsan al-Haq was telling me that because the Americans have stopped the 00:20:23.393 --> 00:20:28.553 aid, Pakistan, all the aid they used to give, because they had this nuclear 00:20:28.553 --> 00:20:31.693 capability for a bomb or whatever, 00:20:32.853 --> 00:20:35.633 and the United States wanted them to dismantle it or whatever, 00:20:35.873 --> 00:20:40.093 and Pakistan refused, and they said, if you do that, then you cut all aid, and they did. 00:20:40.093 --> 00:20:47.273 So, I believe in recent weeks, the State Bank of Pakistan had been advertising 00:20:47.273 --> 00:20:51.313 in the TVs and newspapers and selling some bonds. 00:20:54.125 --> 00:20:58.665 That if investors from here, they would invest in those bonds, 00:20:58.865 --> 00:21:01.825 and after so many years, they would receive so much of interest. 00:21:02.605 --> 00:21:05.445 But that is a point besides the point. 00:21:05.825 --> 00:21:09.905 The point, I believe, is the United States have stepped in and said this is 00:21:09.905 --> 00:21:15.145 illegal, this is a method of laundering their drug income. 00:21:15.765 --> 00:21:22.105 Do you realize that at one point, Pakistan was the number one supplier of drugs to the world? 00:21:23.185 --> 00:21:32.805 So, I mean, the Pakistanis are not reacting with the defensive stance that look 00:21:32.805 --> 00:21:39.585 at the United States and look at how they are against Muslim countries and Islam and whatever. 00:21:39.585 --> 00:21:45.545 But the whole question is, first of all, we do a haram thing on an international level. 00:21:46.205 --> 00:21:54.505 And then secondly, yes, there are actual plantations thriving in Pakistan, north of Pakistan. 00:21:55.365 --> 00:22:00.725 Marijuana and all those kind of stuff, opium, you name it, and export it. 00:22:01.685 --> 00:22:06.625 And then we shall, if some countries say, you know, you can't do it because 00:22:06.625 --> 00:22:14.685 you're not and officially making this legal transaction because of the foreign investment. 00:22:15.625 --> 00:22:21.565 But Astaghfirullah, Babaji's point coming back to it is that we have lost even 00:22:21.565 --> 00:22:24.965 honesty and development in the worldly areas. 00:22:25.305 --> 00:22:28.505 Rather do we have the world, nor do we have the head of us. 00:22:28.825 --> 00:22:33.585 We'll stop here inshaAllah, SubhanakAllah bihindika. Ashadu la ilaha illa anta 00:22:33.585 --> 00:22:34.985 astaghfiru ta'watul b'l-eq.
