Duration 1:00:41
Venue Masjid Taqwa Summary Main Topic
This lecture emphasizes the spiritual necessity of complete adherence to the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in both worship (Ibadat) and daily habits (Adat). The speaker explains how spiritual reformation (Islaah) requires polishing the heart by curbing lustful desires, rectifying bad character, engaging in attentive remembrance of Allah (Zikrullah), and aligning daily lifestyle habits with Prophetic etiquette.
Key Lessons
Sincerity and Intention : Actions are judged by intention. Amassing worldly wealth without spiritual purpose leads to discontentment and spiritual disease.No Favors to Allah : Fulfilling basic Islamic obligations is for our own benefit; a believer must never feel entitled or act as though they are doing Allah or Islam a favor.Ibadat vs. Adat : The Sunnah covers both devotional worship (Ibadat) and everyday habits (Adat). Complete success requires following the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in both.Three Conditions for a Sound Heart : The heart acts like a mirror to divine illumination (Tajalliyat) and requires:
Polishing : Abstaining from haram lusts and poor character (Akhlaq).Brightness (Nur) : Performing Zikrullah with deep concentration and presence of mind.Equilibrium : Correcting physical actions through Prophetic etiquettes (e.g., entering/leaving places with the correct foot, dressing properly).
Marital Affection via Sunnah : True love in marriage is built on practical Sunnah habits—such as greeting one's spouse, sharing meals from a single plate, and showing affection—rather than luxury or haram pursuits.
Quranic/Hadith References
Surah Al-Hujurat (49:14-17) : Recited regarding the Bedouins who claimed faith for material assistance. Allah clarified that Iman had not yet entered their hearts and reminded them that faith is a blessing from Allah upon them.Hadith on Intentions : Reference to "Innamal a'malu bin-niyyat" (Actions are judged by intentions).Prophetic Etiquettes : References to Prophetic traditions on eating with the right hand, pairing dates with cucumbers for health balance, and affection towards spouses.
Practical Advice
Fix Spiritual Flaws Promptly : Treat spiritual defects with urgency, just as one would repair a leaking roof or address a warning light on a car's dashboard. Transcript Machine-generated, so it will contain mistakes — the audio is the reference. Tap any line to play from that moment.
— Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. 0:04 Inna ahmaduhu wa nusalli ala rasoolihil kareem. 0:07 Amma ba'd. 0:08 Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. 0:13 Before Salah, we are discussing about having too many rods in the fire. 0:22 Different, different examples were given. 0:27 Sometime, 0:29 A person is running a business and he feels that look, I want to free myself. 0:37 I want to free myself. 0:41 I don't want to remain a slave 7 to 7 or 7 to 11 depending on his working hours, the type of business that he has. 0:53 I don't want to remain like this. 0:56 So what I want to do is 0:58 I'm going to run this business. 0:59 Whatever extras I get, I'm going to put it into a few investments. 1:04 A couple of properties or something. 1:07 And then once I'm getting a decent income, rental income or whatever, then I'll pack this thing up. 1:16 Set it up. 1:18 And after that I'm free. 1:19 I don't have to be working all the time. 1:22 So if I want to go out in the path of Allah, I can go in the path of Allah. 1:27 If 1:28 I want to go to the Khan Ka. 1:29 I can go away to the Khan Ka. 1:30 I want to become an alim. 1:32 Maybe I'll have time now to go study some kitabs. 1:35 I'm free. 1:37 So if a person is doing it with that intention, then, Innamal aamalu bin niyat. 1:42 Allah Ta'ala judges actions according to the person's intention. 1:48 What I was referring to and speaking about is where it's just about amassing. 1:53 Just about self-enrichment. 1:55 Sometime the person already got so much. 1:59 You don't have to work another day. 2:01 But he's still seeing how I can open another business. 2:03 How I can do this. 2:04 How I can do that. 2:06 Just no chain. 2:07 No contentment. 2:09 So then it shows that the bug of dunya has but this person. 2:14 Dunya has permeated his heart. 2:17 Some people have taluk. 2:23 You don't ever hear any correspondence. 2:28 Right? 2:29 Never any correspondence. 2:31 Right? 2:32 They will not correspond whether they are having a problem with their wife, whether they are having an internal battle of pride or ujub or whatever. 2:41 No correspondence at all. 2:43 They won't even attend programs. 2:44 They don't even keep any taluk. 2:47 Right? 2:48 But only when some business matter comes up, then they will phone me. 2:53 Then they find the phone number and everything. 2:55 I just wanted to make mashara about this thing. 2:57 I won't take the next step without consulting you. 3:02 So it shows that this person's whole mindset is only material. 3:07 It's only dunya. 3:09 This is a program of Islam. 3:12 Where we try to get rid of all these cobwebs. 3:15 Try to get rid of it. 3:17 Sometimes it's better. 3:21 I mentioned many a time. 3:23 That if better medication is no good for you, then you are sitting in the wrong program. 3:31 If you only want to hear some flowery talks and some balm to rub on your heart with a soothing effect, you only want to hear about Jannat talks, then go somewhere else. 3:45 This is a majlis of Islam. 3:47 So in Islam programs, you will hear better things. 3:51 Things that we don't want to swallow. 3:52 Things that are hard for us to digest. 3:55 That is what we have to make Islam of. 3:58 That is what we have to make Islam of. 4:01 Each one of us. 4:02 I am in need of it. 4:03 I know my weaknesses. 4:05 And I go to work on that. 4:08 And put it right. 4:11 Like that each one of us we know our weaknesses. 4:14 We have to work towards putting it right. 4:17 Just like how in our business or our home, you know, my house is very nice, but I got one leak there. 4:23 One leak. 4:25 In the back room, when it rains very heavy, light rainfall also, it don't leak. 4:30 Only when there's a heavy rainfall, then I get a leak. 4:33 So you don't find a person saying, the whole house is alright. 4:36 That one leak there, alright. 4:38 Just leave it now. 4:39 Don't worry about that one leak. 4:41 That one leak doesn't let him rest. 4:47 So when it comes to that, then we get very excited. 4:59 We're driving our motor car, one light comes on. 5:02 Motor car is still moving. 5:04 It's still moving. 5:05 Tyres don't fly out. 5:07 Steering wheel is still in the same place. 5:09 Everything. 5:10 One light came on. 5:12 Right? 5:13 By 5:14 We have to go now. 5:15 Where is the nearest garage? 5:17 We sort this thing out. 5:18 The manual said, when light come on, you make your way straight to the garage. 5:23 Sort it out. 5:25 So then we rush, isn't it? 5:27 Nobody said, it's one light man. 5:29 It's alright. 5:31 It's moving. 5:33 We carry on. 5:35 No, then we go to sort it out. 5:36 Why when it comes to our deen, then we complacent? 5:42 No, no. 5:42 I am doing 1, 2, 3, 4. 5:44 If I'm not doing from 10 to 100, it's alright. 5:47 At least I've got 1 to 9 sorted out. 5:50 Now make shukr at least I'm doing that much. 5:53 See, one group of people at a time of drought, they came to Nabiya Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they accepted Islam. 6:08 Right? 6:09 They accepted Islam. 6:15 And they were professing now to be believers. 6:20 Why? 6:21 Because they wanted assistance from the Baitul Mal. 6:24 Because it was drought time. 6:27 Everybody was in dire straits. 6:29 So they wanted assistance from the Baitul Mal. 6:33 So they came to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam and they made like they have accepted Islam. 6:41 So Allah Ta'ala 6:43 Tells Nabi Akarim sallallahu alayhi wasallam in the Quran Sharif. 6:47 Qalatil a'rabu a'manna. 6:50 That these villages they came and they told you we have brought Iman. 6:55 Qul. 6:55 Say to them. 6:57 Lam tu'minu. 6:58 You haven't brought Iman. 7:00 Walakin kudu aslamna. 7:02 You must say you all became Muslims. 7:04 Don't say you all have brought Iman. 7:07 Walamma yadkhulil Imanu fi qulubikum. 7:10 Iman hasn't permeated your hearts as yet. 7:14 Now they read Karim Abay. 7:16 Now we don't have the right to judge anybody. 7:21 Allah Ta'ala, He can see the hearts. 7:24 But one of the things that these people said to Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 7:29 They said to Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam that see, I'm talking to you in our terminology now, right? 7:34 He said, see you must see us right. 7:37 Because we're not like the other tribes. 7:41 We didn't give you all the hassle now of coming to fight with us and this and that and then we brought Iman. 7:47 We came on our own free will. 7:50 Right? 7:50 We came on our own free will and we have brought Iman now. 7:54 So, you must give us some preferential treatment. 7:56 I mean, you know, we're doing this and that so you must give us some preferential treatment. 8:02 So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes it very very clear in those ayat that you're not doing anybody a favour. 8:09 You're not doing anybody a favour. 8:11 You brought Iman. 8:13 You're doing Amr. 8:13 Sorry. 8:14 That's for your own good. 8:15 You're not doing anybody favours. 8:19 Sometime. 8:19 I was explaining this to the students in the gap here. 8:23 Sometime you get a youngster. 8:26 Now he's going for Zuhr Namaz. 8:27 Asr Namaz. 8:28 Maghrib. 8:28 Isha. 8:30 Fajr Namaz he's snoring it out. 8:33 He can't make it for Fajr. 8:34 So his mother now takes off with him. 8:37 What's wrong with you? 8:38 You're like a shaitan in the house. 8:39 Fajr time. 8:40 Azan is going. 8:41 Your father wakes you up. 8:43 You're not going for namaz. 8:44 Now the father will tell the mother. 8:47 Talk to him. 8:47 I'm getting very irritated with you. 8:50 Your father is too bichara. 8:52 We got no spine left. 8:54 That's why sometime the ladies became the ameera in the house. 8:57 Even if her name is not ameera. 9:00 They become our ameers. 9:01 Because we too got no spine left. 9:06 So we can't even tell the son one word or two. 9:10 So now we tell the wife. 9:11 You sort him out. 9:13 Your son. 9:13 You sort him out. 9:15 Right? 9:15 So now the wife will go to shout the son. 9:18 But the sons, they got no dirk for the mother. 9:20 They don't illa mashallah. 9:23 There are certain mothers, the sons fight for them too. 9:27 But generally the sons, especially when they get older, they don't really, no dirk for the mother. 9:32 They got dirk for the father. 9:34 Right? 9:35 So now what the son will tell the mother? 9:37 He won't tell his father, but he'll tell his mother. 9:40 Sometimes they tell the fathers too. 9:42 So he'll tell the mother, he'll say, Mummy, you know, the way you'll make me out to be, like I'm such a bad person. 9:49 You know, I at least go for Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. 9:54 You know, other boys in my class, they don't come for noon namaz. 9:57 They're only coming for Jummah. 10:01 Now, what is the attitude? 10:03 What is the attitude? 10:06 The attitude is that, hey, come on, I mean, you know what I mean? 10:11 You're supposed to be making shukr. 10:12 I'm reading at least four namaz. 10:15 You're fighting with me. 10:15 You're supposed to be making shukr. 10:17 You've got a son like me. 10:18 I'm reading four namaz. 10:19 Other people, they're not even reading. 10:20 Now the same mentality carries forward. 10:26 If, for example, you have a daddy's program, you tell them about niqab and all that. 10:33 Now those ladies that are not in niqab, right? 10:37 So they will say, you know what? 10:39 At least we're wearing our scarf. 10:41 We're wearing our scarf. 10:42 There's so many people, they don't even wear scarf. 10:45 At least we're not that bad. 10:47 Must appreciate, you know, we're at least wearing scarf. 10:50 So we must understand something. 10:53 Whatever naqamal we're doing, we're not doing nobody no favours. 10:59 It's for our own good. 11:01 And especially when it comes to things that are faras, things that are wajib. 11:06 Those sunnats that are in category of wujub. 11:10 We have to do it. 11:12 Whether we like it or we don't like it. 11:14 We have to do it. 11:17 So we can't come out with these arguments. 11:19 These religious came and told Nabiya Kareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam that. 11:23 Ya munnuna alayka an aslamu. 11:25 Allah Ta'ala says, يَمُنُّونَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَسْلَمُ قُلْ لَا تَمُنُّوا عَلَيَّ إِسْلَامَكُمْ بَرِ اللَّهُ يَمُنُّوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ هَدَاكُمْ لِلْإِيمَانِيَنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ Allah Ta'ala tells Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, they are coming and they're making ihsan jatana on you. 11:41 Like you must recognize, like you know, we did you a favor by coming to bring Islam. 11:45 So Allah Ta'ala tells Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, you say to them, لَا تَمُنُّوا ع 11:55 Balillahu yamunnu alaykum. 11:58 The reality is Allah Ta'ala's favour is on you that He gave you a diet. 12:04 You're not doing anybody favours. 12:07 So we must always remind ourselves of this. 12:11 No matter what we're doing, we're not doing anybody any favour. 12:15 We are only doing ourselves a favour. 12:17 If we're doing some naik, aamal, some good deed, we're only doing ourselves a favour. 12:25 Khair. 12:29 We normally have a ladies' class during the week. 12:36 And in one of those ladies' classes, we are reading this kitab of Imam Ghazali rahmatullahi. 12:46 Imam Ghazali rahmatullahi, he explained so beautifully 12:53 Al-Fatiha. 13:22 It came in my mind today very strongly that we should do the same lesson. 13:25 Because it will be a revision for me also. 13:28 I need to reinforce it in me. 13:30 And I hope it will be beneficial for you also. 13:32 So Imam Ghazali rahmatullahi mentions here. 13:37 He says the key to success. 13:39 The key to success is to follow the sunnah. 13:43 Now see how he puts it. 13:45 To follow the sunnah and the lifestyle. 13:50 How we say the sunnah lifestyle. 13:52 Isn't it? 13:53 We say sunnah lifestyle. 13:54 But see how he is separating the two. 13:57 He is saying the key to success is to follow the sunnah and the lifestyle of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam in all actions. 14:08 Right? 14:09 Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam's actions are of two types. 14:14 Now you got to follow as we're going along. 14:17 Right? 14:19 Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam's actions are of two types. 14:23 One is Ibadat. 14:26 Ibadat is acts of worship. 14:30 Acts of worship for example Salah, Roza, Zakat, Hajj. 14:36 These are acts of worship. 14:38 So this is one type of actions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 14:43 The second type of actions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam is Adat. 14:49 Habits. 14:51 The habits of Rasulullah ﷺ. 14:53 Now habits, we are talking about our mundane activities, our day-to-day activities. 15:00 Eating, drinking, sitting, sleeping. 15:03 But in this, there are sunnahs that need to be followed. 15:08 Right? 15:08 There are sunnahs that need to be followed. 15:11 So it is necessary for a Muslim to follow both of the above. 15:18 When it comes to Ibadat, how Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam made the Ibadat? 15:24 We must make it like that. 15:26 Right? 15:28 When it comes to Adat, how Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam carried out that particular habit? 15:34 We have to carry it out like that. 15:37 Now, some of you may be knowing, ulama etc. 15:40 will know more than me. 15:42 But, our Asatiza explained to us, 15:45 That you know, when it comes to one one sunnat of namaz, one is the farais of namaz, kiraat, qiyam, takbir, taharima, ruku, sajda, etc. 15:57 That there is no ikhtiraf. 15:59 All the fuqaha, imma, all are unanimous how it must be done. 16:04 There is one ruku, two sajdas. 16:07 But when it comes to the sunnats, sometime, if you just have to look at the sunnats of namaz, 16:16 On one one sunnat sometime you will get maybe like 20 different opinions how that sunnat must be performed. 16:27 Then you will get Imam Abu Hanifa says no right this is after studying everything the Hanafi school of thought this is how you must do this. 16:35 The Shafi school of thought sometime maybe little bit different on some action. 16:39 Maliki school of thought maybe. 16:41 Now the question arises right in our fickle minds. 16:46 Our fickle minds, or my fickle mind, why make a big hubbub about this? 16:54 I mean, whether it's done that way, whether it's done this way, what's the big deal? 17:00 Both is accepted. 17:02 Right? 17:03 We're only arguing over which one is more meritorious. 17:06 That's all. 17:08 Right? 17:08 It's not that if I did it that way, my namaz is not accepted. 17:12 All are agreeable that namaz they accepted, but which one is more meritorious? 17:17 That's how we would think. 17:18 Right? 17:20 But you see these imma and these fuqaha, they have something that we lack. 17:28 And what is it that they had? 17:31 You see with their knowledge, with everything that they had, they had a very high degree of love. 17:39 Good. 17:41 You see. 17:42 This high degree of love for Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam drove them. 17:47 That no, no, no. 17:48 I need to know exactly how my Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam did it. 17:52 I must do it like that. 17:55 Not that oh it can be done like this. 17:57 It can be. 17:57 No. 17:58 They were not casual about it. 18:00 Their love never allowed them to be casual about it. 18:04 You know. 18:05 Some people they get very, very offended if you spell their name incorrectly. 18:11 You know. 18:12 Especially like a senior person now, you know, he write me my letter. 18:16 And in English language, bichara, he said, English language is ajeeb language. 18:20 The other day I was mentioning, I don't know, in one bayan somewhere. 18:23 I said, now the army, they came there and they razed the people's houses to the ground. 18:31 I said, English language is ajeeb. 18:34 Raise means you raise something. 18:36 It goes up. 18:37 I said, they razed it to the ground. 18:39 It's gone down. 18:41 English language is ajeeb language. 18:44 Arabic you won't make mistake. 18:45 Farooq you won't explain it one way. 18:47 Muhammad you won't explain it one way. 18:49 English. 18:50 Muhammad. 18:51 M-U. 18:53 M-O. 18:54 Then. 18:55 M-U-H-A. 18:56 M-U-H-U. 18:58 M. Double M. My one friend. 19:00 His surname is Asmar. 19:01 You all know who he is. 19:03 So. 19:03 Wherever he goes in the country. 19:06 So you meet anybody, that person is also Asma. 19:09 Say by one L double L. One L double L. What are you? 19:15 One L or double L? 19:17 So that is English. 19:18 Asma in Arabic if you have to spell it, only one way to spell it. 19:22 So in English you can make lot of mistake. 19:24 You know because so many ways. 19:27 So what I was telling you is some people get offended. 19:32 You spell a name wrong. 19:33 My name not spelled like that. 19:36 I want to correct it. 19:37 Why? 19:38 I mean whether you spelt it M-U, M-O, whatever. 19:41 What's the big deal? 19:43 You know big deal? 19:45 No, no, no. 19:45 My name is not like that. 19:46 I spelt it like this. 19:49 Because he got love for his name. 19:53 He don't say, it's just a technical thing. 19:55 As long as you're pronouncing it properly, it's alright. 19:58 Because he got love for his name. 20:02 But you see when it comes to our deen, we don't have that love. 20:05 For Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 20:07 So we say now it is like that. 20:08 Let us anyhow. 20:09 Chaltega naam gari. 20:10 As long as it's done. 20:11 It's finished. 20:13 Namaz is counted. 20:14 What else you worried about? 20:16 You see they had this love. 20:18 So they couldn't rest. 20:21 I need to know exactly to the best of my knowledge. 20:25 How did my Nabi sallallahu alayhi wasallam do this? 20:28 I must do it exactly like that. 20:30 I must do it no other way. 20:32 Right? 20:33 Now 20:36 Imam Ghazali rahmatullahi alayhi. 20:38 He says that it is necessary for a Muslim to follow both of the above. 20:43 Why? 20:44 Because Allah Ta'ala has commanded us to follow Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam without any restriction. 20:53 There is no restrictions. 20:55 In each and everything we have to follow Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 21:01 Right? 21:03 Now he says 21:05 Muhammad bin Aslam rahmatullahi alayhi. 21:09 Some buzurk. 21:10 I don't know who he is. 21:12 First time I'm reading his name here. 21:14 Muhammad bin Aslam rahmatullahi alayhi. 21:18 But he's giving the example of this person. 21:20 He said this person. 21:22 Now we're coming to December. 21:24 Already we're eating watermelons, right? 21:26 Watermelons. 21:26 All looking forward to watermelons. 21:30 Muhammad bin Aslam rahmatullahi alayhi never ate watermelon in his life. 21:36 Why he never ate watermelon? 21:37 Not because he couldn't afford it or he was staying in a place where there was no watermelon. 21:42 He never ate watermelon because in all his research he couldn't find that tariqa that Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ate watermelon. 21:53 That how did my Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam eat watermelon? 21:56 He couldn't find it. 21:57 So he just stayed away. 21:59 I don't want to eat. 22:00 And if I'm eating in a way that my Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam never eat like that. 22:03 Did my Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam eat the seeds? 22:05 He never eat the seeds. 22:07 How did he eat the watermelon? 22:08 Which part he ate? 22:09 Which part he left? 22:10 Where he started off from? 22:11 What? 22:12 He couldn't find it. 22:13 So he never eat it. 22:15 I'm not saying you must stop eating watermelon. 22:19 What I am saying is appreciate the love that they had. 22:23 The love they had. 22:24 Right? 22:28 Once a Buzur. 22:31 He made a mistake. 22:34 And instead of putting his right sock on first, he put the left sock on. 22:41 Baba, how many times this thing happens to us? 22:45 Sometime we totally unconscious. 22:48 We don't even know which one we put first and second and whatever, right? 22:52 We're totally unconscious. 22:54 And those who are little bit conscious about it, so maybe most of the time we do it the right way. 22:59 Allah Ta'ala give tofi. 23:01 And one day if you made a mistake, of made a mistake, next time I'll sort out, you know. 23:09 This Buzurg, one day, he put the left sock on instead of the right sock. 23:17 He went... 23:18 To compensate for that. 23:21 He gave away a huge amount of wheat. 23:25 Now that was their staple food in charity. 23:29 To compensate that I must talk that sunnat. 23:33 Now was it a guna? 23:36 No way is written that if you... 23:38 Yes, it's written Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is to wear his garment right side first then left side. 23:43 But nowhere is written that if you put the left sock on first, then the right sock, now you have to give charities to compensate for it. 23:54 Nowhere that is written. 23:55 That there is certain guna. 23:57 And that too, a person who normally always does it right. 24:01 Now, human error. 24:02 Anybody can make a mistake. 24:04 So he made a mistake. 24:07 But he couldn't rest. 24:09 Now he went and gave away a huge quantity of wheat. 24:13 Just to compensate that I missed out that sunnat in my life. 24:22 From the above we learn that complete success lies in following all the habits of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 24:31 Since there are countless benefits in there. 24:34 There are countless benefits in there. 24:36 To be deprived of such a great bounty due to negligence is the height of foolishness. 24:43 Because we have to put our socks on. 24:45 The only time we put the left sock first, if we negligent. 24:49 If we are just thinking a little bit, then we'll be conscious. 24:52 I entered the masjid. 24:53 Which foot did I enter the masjid with? 24:57 I'm taking out my garment. 24:58 Which side I'm taking out first? 25:00 I'm entering the toilet. 25:01 Which foot I'm entering? 25:03 I'm eating. 25:03 How I'm eating? 25:04 It just requires... 25:06 It's no extra effort. 25:09 It's just a presence of mind. 25:10 That's all. 25:12 Right? 25:12 So Imam Ghazali rahmatullah is saying that to lose out on this, this great great benefits is a height of foolishness. 25:21 Right? 25:25 We will now mention the benefits one will attain in total obedience. 25:29 Imam Ghazali rahmatullah is saying. 25:32 So the first point that he is making, he says you are aware that 25:38 That the heart and the limbs have a special connection. 25:43 Is a connection between the heart and the limbs. 25:47 The effect of all actions performed by the limbs reaches the heart. 25:55 If a person has to touch something soft. 26:00 Right? 26:01 The touching is with the fingers. 26:04 But the effect of the touch is felt where? 26:09 A person sees something beautiful. 26:12 The seeing is for a few seconds. 26:16 After that, that image of beauty, that scenery, whatever, where is it embedded? 26:22 Right? 26:22 So the effect of the limbs, whatever the limbs do, the effect of that is felt by the heart. 26:28 And the feeling in the heart is a longer lasting effect than the feeling of the eyes or the ears or the toes or the fingers. 26:39 A person saw a beautiful scenery and then he had to move on. 26:46 So the eyes only saw it for a couple of seconds. 26:48 The eyes had that delight for a couple of seconds. 26:53 But the heart enjoys the scenery for so long. 26:59 Now we say people had a traumatic experience. 27:03 The experience is felt by the outer limbs. 27:08 Right? 27:10 But now the experience is over. 27:12 They are not experiencing it anymore. 27:14 The experience is over. 27:15 Where is the trauma? 27:18 Inside. 27:20 Inside. 27:22 So this is the point that Imam Ghazali is making. 27:25 Right? 27:27 Therefore, as long as the movements of one's limbs do not reach the level of moderation. 27:35 The heart can never attain the proper nur. 27:41 And it cannot attain its full potential. 27:46 It can't attain the nur of Allah Ta'ala. 27:49 Right? 27:51 See, if you got a utensil and you're trying to fill it. 27:55 But it is on a slope like this. 27:58 Are you gonna be able to fill it? 28:01 You have to get moderate. 28:02 It has to get straight. 28:04 Then you'll be able to fill it. 28:06 But if it is skew, if it is slant, you will get something inside. 28:10 But you will not be able to use that utensil to its proper potential. 28:14 Right? 28:15 You won't be able to fill it up properly. 28:16 Until the land or the ground is level. 28:21 So until moderation doesn't come in this limbs of ours. 28:26 The nur of Allah Ta'ala cannot permeate this heart fully. 28:30 The true potential of the heart cannot be realized and recognized. 28:35 Right? 28:38 Imam Ghazali Rahmatullah Ali says, the heart is like a mirror. 28:44 We talk about polishing the heart all the time. 28:49 Hazrat Rahmatullah Ali used to give this example. 28:52 In Medina Munawwara, you got all those beautiful, beautiful chandeliers and all that in the harem. 29:00 And that marble, the way they polish it, you know. 29:04 So sometime at night, all those lights are on, and you walk into the haram and you're looking in the marble, and you can see the chandeliers in the marble. 29:13 The marble becomes like a mirror. 29:16 So Hazrat used to say, that the nur of Allah, Allah is reflecting. 29:22 But because our hearts are not polished, here this marble which is stone, if it is polished, the nur of the chandeliers can be seen in the stone. 29:33 Here in Madinah, Munawwarah, in Makkah, Mukarramah, the Nur of Allah Ta'ala is cascading. 29:38 But because our hearts are not polished, so that reflection of that Nur is not coming in our heart. 29:45 But if we polish that heart, now that reflection of that Nur will be realized in our hearts. 29:52 So Imam Ghazali, Rahmatullah Ali, is saying that this heart is like a mirror. 29:57 Right? 29:57 Now when it is like a mirror, 30:01 There are three things that are required for a mirror to give its function. 30:08 There are three things that are required. 30:10 Number one, the mirror must be polished. 30:12 It must be clean. 30:14 Otherwise, you look into a dirty mirror, how are you going to see the dirt on our face? 30:21 The mirror itself is dirty. 30:25 That's number one. 30:26 So the mirror has to be polished. 30:28 Number two, 30:30 Its surface has to be bright. 30:33 So a mirror is always bright. 30:35 The surface of the mirror. 30:36 You don't find black mirror. 30:38 So black mirror. 30:39 What calm is going to happen? 30:42 So the surface of a mirror has to always be bright. 30:45 And number three. 30:47 The surface has to be flat and smooth. 30:51 It can't be warped. 30:54 I know only small children. 30:59 So we used to go certain place, they had one thing called funny mirrors. 31:06 So the mirrors all warped. 31:08 So you go in front of one mirror, you look like you're so tall. 31:12 You go in front of one mirror, you look like you're so fat. 31:15 Another mirror, like you're so short. 31:18 It's not giving you the true reflection of yourself. 31:23 Right? 31:24 Why? 31:24 Because the mirror itself is warped. 31:27 You fellas don't know about these funny mirrors. 31:29 All sitting so sunsan like you don't know what I am talking about. 31:33 I thought mashallah all born bujurks here. 31:36 You will never ever went to all this kind place. 31:39 Me unfortunately I went to all this sulti place. 31:44 So this funny mirrors. 31:46 Because the mirrors are warped. 31:48 So they give a different reflection. 31:50 Don't show the proper reflection. 31:52 Right. 31:54 So similarly when these three qualities are 31:58 Are found in the heart. 32:01 That means the heart is polished. 32:04 The heart is nurani. 32:06 And the heart is not warped. 32:08 When these three qualities are found in the heart, then this heart will become a reflection of Allah Ta'ala's tajalliyat. 32:20 Now this heart will become a reflection of Allah Ta'ala's tajalliyat. 32:25 Now one is the mirror. 32:28 So we know how we can put some window lean or something to clean it and polish the mirror. 32:36 We know now what color the mirror must be and the mirror mustn't be warped. 32:41 Now how do you polish the heart? 32:44 How do you make the heart nurani? 32:47 How do we save the heart from being warped? 32:52 So this is what Imam Ghazali rahmatullah is explaining now. 32:56 Number one. 33:00 This heart must be polished by abstaining from lustful desires. 33:10 The heart must be polished by abstaining from lustful desires. 33:16 And bad akhlaq. 33:19 Evil character. 33:21 This is how it is polished. 33:24 Abstain from lustful desires. 33:27 And Bad Akhlaq. 33:31 Allah Ta'ala has kept a system in place for us. 33:36 Every person has got desire. 33:40 Every man, woman, every human has got desire. 33:46 So Allah Ta'ala didn't stifle that desire. 33:49 Allah Ta'ala said make nikah. 33:52 Make nikah. 33:53 You make nikah, 33:55 Now it's not a lustful desire. 33:59 Now family relations is ibadat. 34:02 Now you're getting sawah. 34:04 It's not a lustful desire. 34:07 People say, must settle, get him settled now. 34:14 I need to get my son settled now. 34:18 My daughter must get settled. 34:20 Why they use this word settled? 34:24 Because before the person is married, he is baychan. 34:28 He is baychan. 34:30 Everything is boiling inside. 34:32 He is baychan. 34:34 Now when he gets married, now he got his wife. 34:38 So now he knows where to look. 34:41 When he needs to look, he knows where to look. 34:44 He needs to touch, he knows where to touch. 34:46 He's got a desire, he knows where to fulfill the desire. 34:49 Because he's got his wife. 34:54 And if the person's desires are even more, then Allah Ta'ala has given him leave in his deen to fulfill those desires also. 35:06 People eat food, everybody eats same amount of food. 35:10 No, not everybody eats same amount of food. 35:13 You have brie, somebody have one chop. 35:16 Somebody needs three chops. 35:18 You have, sometime it's cold. 35:20 Right? 35:21 Somebody, he's not wearing no jacket, nothing. 35:25 But it's cold. 35:26 But he can manage the cold. 35:28 He doesn't need extra jacket. 35:30 Somebody else, he just needs one jersey, one light jersey, one jacket. 35:34 Somebody else, he needs a big jass. 35:38 So Allah Ta'ala has created people different. 35:41 Each person Allah Ta'ala has created differently. 35:44 Right? 35:45 So Allah Ta'ala knows how he created this machine. 35:49 Insan can't know more than Allah. 35:51 Allah knows how he created the machine. 35:54 Right? 35:54 So Allah Ta'ala has given the man. 35:57 You got ijazat from Allah. 36:01 If you have got your desires are too much. 36:03 Right? 36:05 And one wife is not enough for you. 36:07 You need a second wife, you can take a second wife. 36:09 You need a third wife, you can take a third wife. 36:11 You need a fourth wife, you can take a fourth wife. 36:14 You need a fifth wife, no, you're wrong. 36:16 Something wrong with you. 36:20 If you need a fifth wife, now your desires are lustful. 36:24 Your desires are lustful. 36:29 Up to four, Allah knows how he made this machine. 36:33 Allah knows how the people who made diesel Bucky, they know that Bucky can only take diesel. 36:39 Can't take petrol. 36:41 And they know the size of the tank. 36:44 Right? 36:44 So if you are going short distance and you only need 10 litres, you can put 10 litres. 36:48 You are going little longer distance, you need 20 litres, you can put 20 litres. 36:52 Now if that tank size is 70 litres, you can't put 80 litres back. 36:58 You can't put 80 litres in a 70 litre tank. 37:01 You will have to stop at 70 litres. 37:03 Allah knows this body He created. 37:06 Right? 37:08 So Allah has given the man 37:11 Up to four you can go. 37:13 More than four, sorry, you got no ijazah. 37:15 No permission. 37:16 More than four. 37:17 Right? 37:18 So if a person has got one wife and he fears he is going to fall into zina. 37:25 Right? 37:25 He is going to fall into adultery. 37:28 If he doesn't get another wife, he will fall in. 37:31 Just today I got a phone call, right? 37:33 I got a phone call today. 37:36 A man, his wife is extremely sick. 37:43 She is so sick that she requires two caregivers. 37:48 He is looking after her. 37:49 He is taking care of her. 37:52 But he has got a need also. 37:57 Wife is sick doesn't mean he died. 37:59 He has got a need. 38:02 He has got a desire within him. 38:04 He doesn't want to make zina. 38:06 So he went and he made nikah. 38:09 But he didn't tell anybody. 38:11 He didn't tell his wife also because in her state now, imagine to give her this news here. 38:16 Now she'll get more broken, whatever. 38:19 Right? 38:21 But these things have their way of coming out. 38:24 Right? 38:24 So the wife came to know. 38:27 So obviously she's a bit upset and whatever. 38:29 But eventually she realized that, see, I don't blame him now. 38:33 I'm not well. 38:34 And I don't expect him to commit guna. 38:36 So he got married again. 38:38 Alhamdulillah. 38:39 Right? 38:40 He's married again. 38:41 So what I'm saying is Allah Ta'ala has kept this. 38:43 Now imagine a man if his wife cannot fulfill his need. 38:48 And he's got a need. 38:49 He's got a desire. 38:50 What you gonna do? 38:51 Why when your wife never cook? 38:54 There's no food at home. 38:55 Then why you don't say no let me just keep Raza. 38:57 Why you go take away? 39:02 Because you got a need to eat. 39:04 So he said, alright, you know, you never cook. 39:06 Never mind. 39:06 You're my beloved wife. 39:07 I love your cooking. 39:08 Everything. 39:09 But now, you never cook. 39:11 Never mind. 39:11 I'll buy for you also. 39:12 I'll go take. 39:12 I'll bring food for you also. 39:14 You too eat. 39:15 You too hungry. 39:15 You too eat. 39:16 I'll also eat. 39:18 So now, if the wife cannot fulfill this man's desire, even if she is able-bodied, but Allah has made him such that his desire is more. 39:31 Now what is he going to do? 39:32 Commit zina? 39:32 No. 39:34 No. 39:35 He can't commit zina. 39:36 So Allah Ta'ala has given him concession. 39:38 Allah Ta'ala has given him permission and ijazah. 39:41 Right? 39:42 Anybody got a problem, fight with Allah Ta'ala. 39:44 Don't fight with me. 39:45 I'm telling you what permission Allah Ta'ala gave. 39:48 Right? 39:49 So khair. 39:50 But Allah Ta'ala said you must be just. 39:53 Allah Ta'ala didn't just say you can have four wives and just treat anyhow. 39:56 You must be just also. 39:58 Right? 39:59 So coming back to this. 40:00 So Allah Ta'ala has kept 40:03 The solution, right? 40:04 For lustful desires. 40:05 Because if the lustful desires are there, the heart will be diseased. 40:10 If the heart is diseased, the tajalliyat of Allah won't be able to come. 40:16 The tajalliyat, the person's iman, that is the most important commodity. 40:22 And Allah knows that that is the person's most important commodity. 40:27 So Allah Ta'ala is securing that. 40:30 Allah Ta'ala is securing that for the person. 40:35 And with regards to bad akhlaq, come on to sunnah. 40:40 Go into the sohbat of pious. 40:43 Put our akhlaq right. 40:45 Allah Ta'ala has kept a way for us to put our akhlaq right. 40:48 Because if these two things are not sorted out, if we have still got lustful desires, and we got bad akhlaq, then the tajalliyat of Allah Ta'ala cannot come into that heart. 41:00 Hmm? 41:02 That's the first thing. 41:03 So this is how this heart gets polished. 41:07 Is get rid of the lustful desires and get rid of the bad akhlaq. 41:12 Right? 41:13 Get rid of the bad akhlaq. 41:15 If a person, he doesn't want to, he's got very high lust, but he doesn't want to get married again. 41:21 He got his one wife. 41:22 He's happy with her. 41:23 He's in love with her. 41:24 He don't want to break her heart. 41:25 So no problem. 41:26 Keep extra roza and break the lust. 41:30 But you cannot stay with the lust. 41:32 And expect the tajalliyat of Allah to come in the heart. 41:35 No. 41:36 Stop eating hot foods. 41:38 Find out what is cooler foods. 41:41 Adjust the diet. 41:43 But there is no permission to commit zina. 41:46 There is no permission to have affairs. 41:49 There is no permission to commit zina. 41:53 There is no permission to even take joy from your female staff. 41:57 Sitting and laughing with them and they advertising for Colgate. 42:00 That is haram. 42:01 That is haram. 42:04 You can't do that. 42:06 I'm telling you. 42:08 You see lot of things that are haram. 42:11 But it's accepted in our society. 42:13 You can't sit and talk with your sister-in-law. 42:15 But nobody got a problem with that. 42:17 You can sit and smile and talk one way. 42:19 Laugh till late night having bra and everything. 42:22 Laugh with your sister-in-law. 42:23 It's fine. 42:24 Community has accepted. 42:25 But that is haram. 42:27 You can't do it. 42:28 They can't be intermingling. 42:30 Your friend's wife, you can't intermingle back. 42:33 These are all haram things. 42:36 You can't do. 42:36 But society accepts it. 42:38 Nobody got a problem with it. 42:40 But the permissible female company what Allah allowed you to have, that we got a problem with it. 42:48 If a man needs more female company, Allah has given him 42:52 If there was no need for it, Allah wouldn't give. 42:55 Wouldn't give the permission. 43:00 So we must understand our deen. 43:02 If lustful feelings are in the heart, then we got a problem. 43:07 If bad akhlaq is in our life, we got a problem. 43:12 And I told you all, whoever don't like to listen to this, don't listen. 43:19 If you don't want to listen to it, don't listen. 43:22 But I'm giving you the solutions from our deen to get rid of these spiritual problems, these spiritual maladies. 43:29 And if what I'm talking is not our deen, then the ulama here, they can tell me. 43:36 We've got Moranaya from Great Horn, the senior alim of our province. 43:40 Tell me it's not deen. 43:41 If what I'm talking is not deen, tell me. 43:43 I'll stop right now. 43:49 Ji. 43:49 So the first thing is how to polish that heart. 43:52 Get rid of the lustful desires. 43:54 Our youngsters who cannot get married. 43:57 They are 15, 16 now. 43:58 Maybe they can't get married at that time. 44:00 But their desire is very very strong. 44:03 They cannot go and use their hand. 44:06 They cannot go and commit zina. 44:09 If they can't get married at that time, they must keep roza. 44:13 And not one roza and two rozas. 44:16 One roza and two roza sometime will pick the passions up even higher. 44:21 When you keep one roza, you can pick your passions up even more. 44:24 They must keep roza musalsal. 44:30 Day after day keep roza. 44:32 Every day keep roza. 44:35 Till that passion breaks. 44:39 That is the solution. 44:45 Badakhlaq. 44:48 We have to make sohbat. 44:50 And get rid of our badakhlaq. 44:52 We can't have the badakhlaq in our lives. 44:55 Right? 44:56 So that's how we're going to polish the heart. 44:59 The second thing is how we're going to make that heart nurani. 45:05 How we're going to make it bright? 45:07 Like a mirror has to be bright. 45:09 How we're going to make it bright? 45:12 We have to engage in zikrullah. 45:16 Zikr. 45:17 Will make the heart nurani. 45:20 We have to engage in zikrullah. 45:22 Zikrullah will bring marifat of Allah Ta'ala. 45:27 But provided the zikrullah is made properly. 45:32 You see, Allah Ta'ala's name, whether you take it with a conscious mind, whether you take it with a heedless mind, it has an effect. 45:44 It has an effect on the heart. 45:46 But when you do take it with a conscious mind, then the effect is very strong. 45:53 Even if you take it with a heedless mind, you take Allah's name with a heedless mind, there is an effect. 45:59 There is an effect. 46:01 But the effect won't be so strong. 46:03 But with a conscious mind, we take Allah Ta'ala's name, then that heart becomes nurani. 46:10 Becomes nurani. 46:12 You see, when we were in Bangladesh, 46:17 So we came out from one masjid. 46:19 Right? 46:20 And there was one firefly. 46:24 One firefly. 46:26 So it... 46:27 There was just one firefly. 46:29 It was sitting on one plant. 46:30 It was after Maghrib namaz. 46:33 Maghrib namaz. 46:34 We did Maghrib namaz and we came out. 46:37 And we seen this firefly sitting on the one plant. 46:40 Right? 46:40 But that one firefly can't light up the place. 46:44 But it's got a little bit light. 46:46 It's got a little bit light. 46:47 But it can't light up the place. 46:51 But now, if you own the car lights, now you can light up the place. 46:59 So the Mufti Sahib who was with us, he was telling us, he said some students in the Darul-Ulum, they're studying at night, there's no lights. 47:09 So they catch these fireflies. 47:10 Right? 47:13 They catch these fireflies and 47:16 Like a whole lot of them. 47:18 And they put them in one bottle. 47:20 And then they keep it there in front of their kitab. 47:23 Now when there's so many of them in one bottle, then that bottle becomes like a lamp. 47:28 Then they study in that light. 47:33 So khair. 47:34 But what we were explaining is, when a person will take the name of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala with a heedless heart, so it will have some light. 47:44 Not Allah's name would have little light. 47:46 No. 47:48 Allah Ta'ala's name got all the nur. 47:52 But because our heart is heedless, we are only getting this much light. 47:57 Like one light from a firefly. 48:00 Can't really light up much. 48:03 But when we will take Allah's name with a conscious heart, a conscious mind, thinking of Allah's sifat, the greatness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 48:11 This is why our mashayikh, they tell us that make your zikr daily with concentration. 48:19 Think of Allah ta'ala. 48:21 Meditate over this. 48:22 Meditate over that. 48:23 Why are they telling us all this? 48:24 It's not mentioned in the hadiths. 48:27 But they are telling us all this to assist us. 48:30 So that we can have a presence of heart. 48:32 A presence of mind. 48:33 When we are taking Allah Ta'ala's name. 48:35 So now when we have a presence of heart and a presence of mind. 48:39 Now we will take Allah Ta'ala's name a few times. 48:42 And that heart will be lit up. 48:45 Hazrat Shaqib. 48:48 He is Sheikh. 48:49 Right. 48:51 When he is to make zikrullah. 48:53 So his khankah was in the forest. 48:56 In the jungle. 48:56 Right. 48:57 So he used to make zikrullah outside because there's nobody there. 49:00 So he makes zikrullah outside and there was one talaab there, you know. 49:04 Like a well or something there. 49:07 So he used to sit next door there and he used to make his zikr. 49:11 So Hazrat Shaki Maktar Sahib Rahmatullah used to go to make his khidmat, you know. 49:15 Used to go stay with him, make his khidmat. 49:18 So when he first started going, so he saw an ajeeb manzar, you know. 49:25 That Hazrat is making his zikr. 49:28 When he starts his zikr. 49:30 Slowly. 49:32 One snake came out from the tala. 49:36 One snake came out from the tala. 49:39 And the snake came. 49:39 Now. 49:42 Hazrat Hakim sahib. 49:43 Now he doesn't know now. 49:46 What must do here now. 49:48 One side the snake. 49:50 One side the sheikh is in zikr. 49:51 You can't disturb him. 49:52 One side the snake. 49:53 Hmm. 49:54 The snake came out, coiled itself, raised its head, sat down behind the sheikh. 50:02 And the sheikh is also making, the sheikh is making dharb, the snake is making dharb. 50:09 Now, if you think this is impossible, if you think this is impossible, then I ask you, those snake charmers in India, don't they blow the flute? 50:23 And they charm the cobra by. 50:26 They move the flute this way, the cobra goes this way. 50:28 The cobra starts dancing to their flute. 50:31 If the flute of shaitan can mesmerize the snake, cannot the nur of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's name mesmerize that snake? 50:42 So that snake too is to be making zikr. 50:46 This is the power of the name of Allah ta'ala. 50:50 But we are taking Allah's name 50:53 With a heedless heart. 50:54 Or that heart is full of haram lust. 50:57 Because we are looking around everywhere. 50:59 Zina of the eyes. 51:00 Hmm. 51:01 Then we looking in our phones. 51:03 Then we talking anyhow. 51:05 We swearing. 51:05 Hmm. 51:07 Slangs upon slangs. 51:09 Hmm. 51:10 Filthy speech. 51:11 Filthy jokes in our phones. 51:14 Hmm. 51:14 Amongst friends. 51:15 Talking nonsense. 51:17 Hmm. 51:18 La yani. 51:19 Futile. 51:20 So bad akhlaq. 51:21 Lustful desires. 51:23 The heart is not polished. 51:24 Then the heart is heedless. 51:26 Then how is the effect of Allah Ta'ala's name when to come into that heart? 51:32 So that is the second thing. 51:34 To make that heart nurani. 51:37 Is to take Allah Ta'ala's name. 51:39 Get the marifat of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. 51:41 And how to safeguard that heart from becoming warped. 51:48 To bring i'tidal in that heart. 51:51 How we do that? 51:55 It's warped nature. 51:58 The warped nature of the heart is removed by bringing the actions of the limbs into equilibrium. 52:10 Right? 52:11 To bring the actions of the limbs into equilibrium. 52:15 Now how is this done? 52:19 It sounds very flowery, right? 52:21 It brings the actions of the limbs into equilibrium to get rid of the warped nature of the heart. 52:30 Very philosophical. 52:33 But how is this done? 52:34 How are we going to do it? 52:39 My beloved seniors, respected seniors, beloved brothers, the way to do this is the sunnah 52:49 Of the Adat of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 52:54 That brings those actions into equilibrium. 52:59 Understand something. 53:02 See. 53:03 In life we believe in cause and effect. 53:08 We believe in cause and effect. 53:12 We believe. 53:13 Khajur. 53:14 Dates. 53:15 They have a hot effect on the body. 53:19 So now if it's a hot day and a person's body is hot and he has khajoor, what's going to happen? 53:28 The equilibrium is going to go off. 53:30 His body is going to get even more hot. 53:33 So what Nabi Akkareem sallallahu alayhi wasallam prescribed? 53:36 That have that khajoor with cucumber. 53:40 So you bring equilibrium. 53:43 Right? 53:44 Now that is a sunnah we can understand with our logic. 53:48 That see with the kajur, if we add some cucumber on a hot day, it will balance it out. 53:56 Right? 53:56 We can understand it with our logic because we know kajur has hot effect, cucumber has cold effect. 54:06 What is the effect of putting the right sock on first and then the left sock? 54:13 What is the effect of removing that left sock first and then the right sock? 54:21 With all our technology, with all our equipment, we can't figure it out. 54:28 But there is an effect. 54:30 There is an effect. 54:31 Just like how there is an effect in that khajoor and cucumber to bring equilibrium in the temperature of the body. 54:41 There is an effect in that also. 54:43 But that effect we can only come to know through Wahi. 54:48 And we have to trust in the Wahi. 54:51 Not question it. 54:52 We have to trust in it. 54:55 So Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam told us, Put your right shoe on first, then your left shoe. 55:01 If you got only one shoe, don't walk with only one shoe. 55:03 Walk barefoot. 55:08 So all those sunnahs, entering the toilet with the left foot, coming out with the right foot, I mean, you're going in, you're coming out, by which foot you went in, which foot you came, long as you relieved yourself, the job is done. 55:19 No. 55:20 There is an effect in entering with the left foot and coming out with the right foot, there is an effect. 55:27 Right? 55:29 But we don't know the effects. 55:32 But our lives are going downhill because we're not giving importance to it. 55:38 When we will give importance to these sunnahs, it will not only be for our spiritual well-being, even our physical well-being. 55:48 Our mental well-being. 55:50 Everything. 55:54 Take Mishwaq. 55:57 We say, no, you clean the teeth. 55:59 Right? 56:00 But Mishwaq has so many other benefits. 56:06 So like that, each and every sunnah, the adat of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, eating with that right hand, it's not just eating with the right hand, so never mind if I drink with my left hand, no. 56:18 It has some effect on the body. 56:22 Sitting and drinking has an effect on the body. 56:27 So these sunnats of the adat of Nabi Karim sallallahu alayhi wasallam, they are extremely important. 56:35 We must never ever trivialize it. 56:38 Never ever feel that. 56:38 That we are doing it this way now. 56:42 No. 56:45 We must make amal. 56:47 We must make amal. 56:49 Keep learning the sunnats. 56:52 Sunnats of adat. 56:56 We never come to ibadat yet. 56:59 Only discussing the sunnats of adat. 57:03 Right? 57:05 So we need to make a study of this. 57:09 How to make a study. 57:10 This we have mentioned many a time. 57:12 Keep on Sunnat's Kitab. 57:15 Keep on Sunnat's Kitab. 57:17 Tick off as we're going along. 57:20 Think about it. 57:23 Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is telling the husband in his Sunnah, right? 57:28 Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is eating from the same utensil with the ummah to mu'minin. 57:33 Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is drinking. 57:36 Then he is giving Ummul Mu'minin to drink from the same place. 57:39 Nabi Sallallahu alayhi wasallam is taking a bite of the meat. 57:43 And then he is giving Ummul Mu'minin to take a bite from the same place. 57:48 Right? 57:49 Now you think to yourself now. 57:51 Now where I eat? 57:52 She eat in her plate. 57:53 I eat in my plate. 57:55 She eat her chop. 57:56 I eat my chop. 57:58 This is the problem. 57:59 At least if we are dieting we can see how much we eat. 58:01 Right? 58:03 You didn't go over the limit or under the limit and all that. 58:06 Then she said, no, I don't like achar, so you just eat your side. 58:08 Don't bring your achariya by my side. 58:11 Right? 58:12 But today, when we started eating in the separate, separate plates and all that, how many marriages are breaking? 58:22 We don't want to share the plate. 58:24 We don't want to share the same piece of meat. 58:26 Then how many marriages are breaking? 58:30 These things have an effect. 58:31 They are cause and effect. 58:33 The cause and effect is to create a bond of love. 58:38 Now we are discarding those sunnats. 58:41 Then we want to know where the love is gone. 58:43 So now I fell out of love. 58:48 Before he got married, he told his father. 58:50 Father said, no, this girl is not good for you. 58:52 He said, Papa, maaf kar juman. 58:54 I have fallen in love now. 58:56 What am I going to do now? 58:57 I have to marry her. 58:58 I have fallen in love with her. 59:01 Then after couple years, now he wants to jump out of the pot. 59:04 So now his father say, now what you doing? 59:07 He say, no papa, I have fallen out of love. 59:14 So these sunnahs, making sanaam when we enter the house, smiling with the wife, leaving the house, go give the wife one kiss, then leave the house. 59:22 These are sunnahs of Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. 59:26 These things all will create muhabbat between the husband and wife. 59:31 Now we think, you know, one romantic holiday. 59:34 I need to take her out. 59:35 You know, we're drifting apart. 59:37 We book on Maldives island. 59:40 We need to go now and make more guna. 59:42 More zina of the eyes we'll make there. 59:45 The problem that we got was cough. 59:49 We go there, we come back with bronchial pneumonia. 59:52 Because there now, all around you is nudity. 59:54 At least you got a problem. 59:56 Then you're going there in the seaside to see more haram. 1:00:01 That's not going to bring the muhabbat. 1:00:02 The muhabbat will be in the home. 1:00:05 Stay in your house. 1:00:07 Make amal on these sunnahs. 1:00:08 The love will come. 1:00:09 The love is not going to come with a diamond ring. 1:00:11 Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam never gave not one Ummul Mu'minin diamond ring. 1:00:16 Diamond there was. 1:00:18 He never gave not one diamond ring. 1:00:20 Say diamonds are forever. 1:00:21 Diamonds are the girl's best friend. 1:00:22 That's all the kuffar propaganda. 1:00:26 These sunnahs is what will cement 1:00:30 The relationship. 1:00:32 Allah Ta'ala give us Tawfiq. 1:00:35 SubhanAllah. 1:00:36 Alhamdulillah.
