No
so was some other sort of an MDI one
more sitting my daddy he was I have to
be here with me today my sanity I am
again a long studying technical and
shoddy not necessarily said everybody
Quran Allah aluminum - I don't know if a
female intern with no edema Allah Miller
in memorandum tenant in the concerted
email I seen what I hold or whatever was
in there adding an album or sorry know
who matter season Muhammad water
anything more five years in I mean
without who know what up work every
nerve in their family inshallah when you
go over at least parts of a book written
by CD Ahmed rock horribly low the other
and who said Varanasi and chassis he was
born in 846 but he Durazo his ninth
century
he died in 899 had a short life but very
full life out of the law on whom the
Christian equivalent was 1492 and one of
the things that he said was that towards
the end of time that that's when his
knowledge would begin to diffuse in the
world they called Moctezuma with Odia
which is the one who corrects the anima
and the olya and Abdullah Ganu in the
famous Moroccan scholar said nobody in
the history of Islam was given that
title so some anima get titles like I'm
America's daddy in the Sunni tradition
is known as hedges that Islam even
though the Shia have that title in their
system from the Sunnis a registered
Islam they mean in a lot as Adi
shareholder Islam they're using
insha'Allah I'm sorry
there are others I mean the modern
people say chef Shahada sanam now has
come to me even Tamia but that that's
not the case traditionally meant
Abdullah I'm sorry
almost always in
although there are many people that have
been given that title it's not anyone
share called the yard was called
Chihuly's now there's other people that
have that title but generally there
there's Ellicott these are known as
nicknames and this was the name of CDF
Nazareth was massive with a mallet
Odia the one who corrected or rectified
that with Amanda Odia and he's also
known as one of the rare people who
joined between the inward and outward
Sciences is quite rare in Assam he was a
mohith studied with Imam so how he one
of the great Mahad buffoon he was also a
he studied with some of the
greatest of his aide Imam and Julie one
of his students was Imam at how fob who
becomes one of the great of the later
Mataji Fatah and he was also a Sufi he
studied with I would I better Habra me
among others but that was his primary
share who was a poverty shattered he
share and he's in the chains of the shed
area so one of the things that he
complained about he didn't believe and
this is obviously something that people
disagreed with him but he did not
believe that there were any real shoe
left of the inward scientists he felt
that the real shape was not doomed
that's the word he used that he didn't
exist anymore
and yet he felt because people need to
continue on and trying to purify
themselves and drawing closer to Allah
subhanAllah dahi focused really on
several books that were guidebooks
almost like self-help books in fact one
of them he titled few days what I'm
behind the rock didn't wanna be the
guidance of my lord when the Madhavi is
lost in other words a share of Tobia he
said basically that people now and this
is 9th century remember the people now
he said no longer have the conditions of
perfection total cut camellia he said so
you take from people what they have and
you recognize that everybody now has
shortcomings
people of perfection are gone that was
his consideration and obviously that
would certainly be much truer today than
it would have been at his time and a
lust pen without a nose best because
there's always been jealous people of a
love this science is called an sn2 so
wolf there's a lot of words for it a
couple of things one the soul is not
Fatiha
and it's important for that to be
understood Paraiba is something that
traditionally in the Muslim world there
were a lot of foot up and there still
are but the soul is a science from the
Sciences of Islam it's always been
taught it's been taught within fatiha
it's been taught without paratha it's
just one of the sciences of Islam
generally what piraka was was like you
had a hadith transmission you had silk
transmission into so if you also had
changed the transmission and I thought
if I generally was a silsila but what
happened is they tended to end up being
formulated into Brotherhood's almost
like you had a membership in a group and
they had lodges which were called Sawa's
and you could travel from Morocco to
hatch and if you were in one of these
photo you'd go to the zeliha if you are
in a shadow deified okay you'd go to the
shadow DS alia and these were all your
brothers and you are all joined in this
party episode there was a spree Dacor
and also it tended to be associated with
guilds in other words crafts like people
were shoemakers often all the shoemakers
would belong to the same party top and
this really happened in the Muslim world
you had people that was almost like
union membership obviously there's a lot
of problems that go with that there's no
doubt about that because the psychology
of groups is a very interesting
phenomenon and you get group psychology
you get groupthink
people become ëletís people will always
consider that their share is the best
share their share is the put up their
share is over all the other shoe
and it can be a divisive element as well
so there's good and bad in everything
it's the nature of being on the earth
but you know I just want to say that
this is not being taught with inch as
ideological or something like that I
want to make that really clear that this
is just one of the sciences of Islam and
that's the way we're looking at it you
don't have to be in a product life to
benefit from the knowledge the other
thing is that I'm really not qualified
to I mean I've studied this book with a
share from beginning to end and but I'm
not qualified to teach it in that way so
he's the teacher all I'm going to try to
do is present what he's saying to the
best of my ability so I want for you to
understand that one of the early
Christian ascetic whose name was John of
the ladder he was a pre-islamic
Christian he said about teaching when
you teach spiritual things he said if
you have some knowledge of it don't let
the fact that you're not practicing it
yourself stopped you from teaching
because people are still in benefit of
it and he said the hope is that you'll
be so ashamed of yourself that maybe
you'll start practicing it when you
teach something so having said that and
again that's not like I'm being humble
or something it's not humility is just
telling it like it is you know you make
claims with Allah and Allah does things
to you see demons are rocks Edmund at
the hospital a set level for the hashish
I did in with your hand if you claim
something that you don't have
Allah will expose you to people so I'm
not making any claim I don't want to get
exposed I'm happy having the sister of
Allah so anyway this book is about the
heart about the human heart and the
heart is an interesting thing the word
in English heart comes from a Sanskrit
word which means that we sleep because
obviously at some point people felt this
thing in their breasts and we have some
other words core is one of the words in
English for heart if you look in Old
English core is heart and in Arabic you
say Lube Lube is one of the meanings of
heart and Lube
means the exact same thing is core it
means the innermost the piss of
something so the core of the human being
is the heart the Latin word core means
courage and it was the belief that
courage was in the heart the Arabic
people they say he doesn't have a heart
mandible tongue I mean he doesn't have
any courage so they use it as a metaphor
for courage I mean it has heart has
courage amongst the Arabs if you look at
the physical heart it beats around 60 to
70 beats per minute it carries in that
time two gallons of blood in a period of
about an hour it'll carry around 100 120
gallons of blood it's forcing that blood
through about 60,000 miles of actual
vasculature through the body about
60,000 miles that's more than the
Earth's circumference twice it's a
phenomenal organ and it will do this for
60 70 80 years without ever complaining
really it's an amazing thing just a
physical organ of the heart is an
incredible thing
we don't really feel the heart is not
like muscles it doesn't get tired in the
same way I mean people get depressed
which is related to the heart depression
spiritual depression things like this
but generally the heart is not like
other muscles in the body it doesn't get
tired like other other muscles it gets
stronger with exercise like most muscles
but even lack of exercise does not stop
it from doing its job so people that are
completely sedentary the heart can still
pump for 70 years obviously some of you
exercises that they're going to be
healthier they can run they don't get
out of breath is easy things like that
the heart is four chambered organ it has
four chambers which is interesting and
then it has two motions it has the
systole and diastole one of them is that
it contracts and the other is that it
expands and this is what Boston Arrow
it is two names of a lot of our bill and
our boss helped a lot is contracting and
he's expanding and at the center of the
source of the human being is this
shuttle bus this is what it's doing in
out the same with the breath the lung
you breathe in
there's expansion of the lungs you
breathe out there's contraction of the
lungs the lungs in the heart are related
there's four beats to every breath every
breath has four beats breathing speeds
up with the heart so faster your heart
beats the faster you will breathe so
breath and heart are related and the
rule both the word in Arabic in Greek in
Hebrew and also Chinese language Shan
means spirit Shen is centered in the
heart in the Greek psyche is used it
means breath the word comes from a root
word which is related to wind the Hebrew
say nefesh the Arabs they say next nest
is your rule and netha is breath NEFAs
nuts with the Ciccone over the fat is
the rule so these are all related the
brain now only in the 1970s that they
discovered that there's neurons in the
brain in other words the same cells that
you find in the heart in the brain you
find now in the heart there's over
40,000 neurons in the heart now this is
recent knowledge so there are actually
brain cells in the heart they used to
believe that the heart was the center of
the human being
Galileo showed that in fact it was the
nervous system the central nervous
system which was basically at the center
of man's volition mobility all of these
things that if you cut nerves then
people lost the ability to if you cut
off the nerves from the arm people can't
move but that's not true of the heart
because we now know that you can
transplant a heart which means severing
all of the nerve endings that are
connected to the brain and the heart
still continues to beat so the ha
is an autogenic organ it's not being
told by the brain to beat your urine is
the reason you urinate is because your
central nervous system there are
messages from the brain from your are
stem brain that are telling you to
urinate and that's why you go you're in
it that's not true for the heart the
heart is beating on its own the heart
actually about 17 weeks in the embryo
the heart begins to beat before there's
any central nervous system or brain so
heart cells begin to actually beep
before there's even a brain developed
now the Muslims have always believed
that the intellect is centred in the
heart not in the head now they're
beginning to admit that the heart does
have a type of brain in other words it
does 10 messages because there's
actually now we know that messages are
sent to the brain to speed up the heart
and sometimes the heart doesn't respond
it takes its own time and also there's
hormones that are released in the heart
there's there's actual cardiac hormones
that are released that send messages to
the brain the proton says at home for
overnight gonna be half they have hearts
and they can't think with them which is
an indication that the heart itself
people can be cut off now that was not
talking about people that were couldn't
think or talk or do mathematics or you
see when the Quran says don't pollute
life gonna be half as Co fog so a lot
saying they can't think with their heart
that doesn't mean they can't think with
their brain it means they can't think
with their hearts so the thinking of the
heart is not the same as the thinking of
the brain what we call mental cognitive
faculties this is not the intellect of
the heart the intellect of the heart is
rooted in the light of the human being
so a human being has light in the heart
and a heart that can think is a heart
that is in harmony with Allah subhana WA
to add as intention with his creation
there's a hadith wahby assualt since man
came to the brought even matter came to
the Prophet Elisha and he said the
province of light and said he said it
takes on a sort of lights on lights and
I'm chocolatey
said to me a Jessica said Oh an adverb
did you come to ask about righteousness
bill and he said nah he said the 50th
handbag ask your heart take an opinion
from your heart sister husband he didn't
say a 50 be martyr 50 o'clock he said
it's 50 of husband ask your heart and he
said alvaro melt my enmity a heinous
righteousness is what the heart the soul
the nuts feels tranquil with what mana
in a young child and the heart feels
tranquil with it there's format Nina
that's one of the conditions in the
prayer is you have format Nina format
Nina is Sakina that all your limbs come
to resting place that means that your
heart rest is still with goodness it's
comfortable with it what is mu my
Hackett is what not Hackett enough what
talent does the eating a subtle the
wrong action is what troubles the soul
and the breast wavers
there's wavering in the breath what LF
second death what in a second that even
if people give you their opinion step
the appendix we know second s listen to
your heart even if other people are
trying you to do something else so the
indication there is that the heart has
the potential to guide human beings your
heart can actually guide you to what's
right and what's wrong
the Quran says about the yamaha yama
yamaha yama you what a Vanunu allotment
at Allah and as a logical in saline that
is the day in which neither wealth nor
children will avail a human being unless
he bring to Allah a sound heart he'll

Sally moon one of the things of freeing
a slave the slave has to be Celine can
have false or blemishes something like
that so a heart that sound is a heart
that doesn't have sickness now the Quran
says about the monatti bone here for ovm
Marrowbone facade along madhava in their
heart is a disease so there's diseased
hearts
there's also dead hearts a woman can
