Bismillah r-rahman r-rahim was of the

SEMA super Honora beaker of the city I'm
Mayu no sediment animal sitting on the
layer of Brad I mean what how would our
Hawaiian we let honey in our name but
hamdulillah want to first of all thank
everybody for coming today masalas as
you know 27th of Rajab which is the
night of the is Ron Raj took place
according to most of our scholars on
this blessed day and these are what the
qur'an bi yeah Mila remind people of the
days of our loss of the Hanna with Anna
in the days of Allah or the days in
which anything great or momentous
happened and in essence really every day
is a day of Allah subhana WA Ta'ala but
those days that Allah has put that
barakah zemana in are certainly ones
that we should remember and our prophet
sallallaahu Adi was sending them I mean
the more that you contemplate him the
more you think about him the more you
think about him and contemplate his
purpose in existence I think the more
you come to not only realize that he is
indeed Rama that I mean but I think more
importantly he is your own personal
means and cause of guidance and for that
you can never really fulfill that right
that he has over you because if you look
at your father or your mother
there the reason for your physical
existence which comes to termination you
know everything of the world ends but by
the nature of the world but the spirit
is one of those eight things that Allah
subhana WA Ta'ala has made that we
believe do not come to an end and
because
is the spiritual father he is the father
of meaning he's not the father McKenna
Mohammed Nava I had a memory daddy come
he is not the father of any of your men
in other words that's not his role what
I can rustle a lot but he is the
Messenger of Allah who Hatem and more
sudden he ends the matter I mean that's
our belief is that the prophet Elijah
said I'm sealed and put a finality to
prophetic dispensations in the world and
one of the culminating events in his
spiritual life was the astronomer Raj
because it was the culmination of his
inward ascension but it was the
beginning of his outward ascension he
had reached the rock bottom of his
outward point in the world because
thought it was the most difficult day of
his life according to I shuttle Dena
when she asked him he said that if was
the most difficult day and so his
movement away from by if and on his way
back he meets with the unseen realm the
jinn and so what that is an amazing
recognition of is that even though the
outward the things that you can see are
not conforming to your truth the inward
reality is conforming to your truth they
want to be part of the truth and then he
goes and he has this experience which
really is we believe that he actually
visited his Lord there is a spatio
temporal aspect to the journey that is
raw I mean he goes from Mecca to the
Haram in Jerusalem but there's also
something that's outside of time-space
and that's very clear and so we do not
believe that the Prophet SAW SM went to
a physical place because Allah is beyond
physical space and place I mean Allah we
do not give our God any physicality he
has complete and absolute transcendence
and incorporate allottee he doesn't have
a body a body needs a place he's
infinite so there are no limits to God
and I did a course in New Mexico
recently and there was a Jewish man
there he came out to me after a class
that where I talked about theology in
Islam and he said you know it's really
clear to me that the
God of Islam is much bigger than the
other religions realize he's even bigger
than Islam that's what he said to me
this Jewish man and I said it's
absolutely true because he's not just
the God of Muslims robinus medicai nest
yeah he nests I mean just to remind
Muslims that he's the God of humanity so
indeed his divine reality transcends
even the outward aspects of this world
so at one mile kalapa thirty they did
not give God his true estimation they
did not because you can so anything you
say about God you've already limited God
and that's why the only things that
Muslims are allowed to say about God are
the things that God said about himself
even recognizing them that they're
limited by language so that's why the
things that language creates any kind of
obfuscation in the mind eschew Baha in
the mind that odama either say be lack
eighth we can't say what how this is we
just say the outward of it we don't
interpret it or some of the elements
said no we interpret it and they're both
positions that our scholars took so just
in recognizing that position of our
prophet slice em and what this day means
in relation to our prophet it is the day
in which he was really given the
cornerstone of this tradition which
after tawheed is the prayer itself this
is a celebration of the prayer and
clinging to the prayer so because he was
given no see aha on that day by mu
saddest and most I gave him advice
gibreel gave him advice when they were
in the Haram in Jerusalem he was offered
milk or wine and he looked at gibreel
ishara alayan ya Holly he took the milk
and this was before the prohibition of
wine by the way so it's very interesting
even though the Prophet never drank wine
it was prohibited in Medina but he chose
the milk and then Jibril Adam said you
chose fitrah which is interesting too
because what that indicates is what you
do even though somebody else might
advise you to do it what you do is
you're you get the action it's not the
person that advised
to you in other words the moral agency
is always functioning so if I advise you
to do good and you do that good you are
the moral agent but addenda otto
heydrich of out of hidden cafe Eddie the
one who tells people to do good also
gets that reward of doing it he's like
the one who did it
do you see so the Provencal I am chose
the Fatah the natural state and if you
gave a child a choice between wine or
milk every time they're gonna choose
milk because wine it's what they call an
acquired taste whenever you hear that
acquired taste you should avoid it you
know when people say that that's an
acquired taste it's usually things like
tobacco and alcohol and cocaine and all
those other things right yeah the fitrah
is what you have a natural inclination
for so what I wanted to do because it
was a night of null see AHA of counsel I
wanted to just give some counsel to
myself first and foremost and then to
all of you and it's the counsel of who I
consider one of the greatest scholars in
the history of Islam see ya tomorrow so
bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim this is the
end of his book which is an amazing book
called kita Brianna and it's I think one
of his if not his greatest work I mean
how I'd is considered to be really his
great one but this is certainly an
extraordinary work so he says bismillah
ar-rahman ar-rahim

that repentance to Allah turning back to
Allah is a key it's the key to every
good towba is a human phenomenon you
have to have Toba if you do not have
Toba you cannot live you will be in pain
and suffering because the human soul by
its nature has to be returned to its
Lord in a restored State and the only
way that you can do that is to rectify
what you have done and the soul knows
wrongs it's part of natural law your
soul knows when you have wronged it and
that's why people suffer depression I

getting what they deserve because of
their sins their wrong actions and
that's why people will suffer because of
not being in conformity with divine law
with natural law and natural law is not
simply the Sharia because Aboriginal
peoples who don't have a Shetty a
conform to natural law and that's why I
wanna Ferelden Londo considered that
what people who had not given messengers
what they were obliged to do was follow
to heed and then the basic principles
what are called in Judaism the Noah hid
a clause of not killing not stealing not
lying not cheating treating parents
correctly setting up laws to redress
wrongs I mean those are universals so
the Sharia is the way that we go back
with taqwa bra and taqwa is expansion if

Japan Allah Allah if you look at the two
wings of this religion the two wings of
Islam tawheed unity of God and morality
that's those are the two wings if you
don't have those you can't take off in
this religion the prophets Allah is a
man man said I was in he asked him to
give him some advice
he said that all about don't get angry
but in another hadith he said pull a man
to be nothing must stop him say I
believe in God and then be morally
correct in your behavior be morally
upright that's it
but Amman to be dead too messed up him I
mean that's it it's believing in the
unity of allah subhana wa ta'ala and
then being morally upright so it is
jicama slaw it will rectify your state
well abdullah a human's endotoxin an
Avatara that you will either be the by
your nature you cannot free yourself
from wrongs from shortcomings and from
lassitude in other words you just get
worn out right it's by the nature of
being alive there are times you're going
to have a lot of energy for worship
you're gonna feel closer to a lot
devotionally you're gonna have energy
you think and then there's other times
where the lassitude sets in and these
are the aqua of a human being so you
can't free yourself from faretta
kaminnikov Allatoona ana Toba because of
that don't be heedless about Toba to God
in other words because your state is
then Zelda tuxedo and Vitara don't be
heedless of October that's why toboe was
given to you in order to rectify those
periods when you're not straight with
your Lord when you're not in a sound
state so it's not a negative thing it's
a good thing and that's why CD even a
paella about Delano he said rumba Marcia
tan aura that luna esta fara human
thought an aura that isn't with stick

sometimes a wrong action that results in
a feeling of humbleness before God and a
desire to ask forgiveness is better than
a right action that leads to arrogance
and to huffed up pride spiritual pride
so then he says so anything that happens
from you make Toba and return to God
what Kuna I thought of a smile up there
and everytime you do
wrong here and obey some and whatnot and
we hear God and we obey his command so
that's just part of your natural state
and then he says vicuna maka sorta of a

you know when you've emptied out in the

you feel tired whenever you feel

you from continuing Ferriero Konohamaru

that your description is a sound

listening to the advice that you need
and that's why one of the things about
