InshaAllah. InshaAllah,

alhamdulillah. What we have from our online 
family, inshaAllah, wherever they are, and all

the khidmat and service and our life is based on 
our service. This is a trust that was given to us.

Means write and link all these teachings together. 
If… they're like beads, when your heart can link

them, it becomes the tasbih (prayer beads) in 
which you use. Our life is a life of service,

that khidmat and that service is the honor of 
our existence, that service is the source of our

rizq (sustenance) and our provision. The good 
character is the opening and the dress, means

everything we do is linked. And as one is rising 
in their spirituality, the link becomes evermore

present so that Allah (AJ) gives to the servant an 
awareness. “’Arafa nafsahu, ‘arafa Rabbahu”.

Means one whom is a ‘arif (knower) and one whom 
is vigilant with themselves begins to become

self-aware and vigilant of Allah (AJ) and nafs 
(ego), Rab and authority, all linked. Some would

say Allah (AJ) and we've taught before, well 
it's actually the authority; Rabbahu – that

which is authority over ourselves, and that's by 
the self-awareness, the meditation, the tafakkur

(contemplation). If someone is not of that, 
they don't understand what came, what passed,

and why. Maybe they think it's bad planning 
or not right timing, incorrect investment,

every type of external understanding possible 
because that's particle people. And people whom

are enrolled in particle crushing. Why? So that 
Allah (AJ) teaches us nothing is in our hands.

You can be the most genius and when it comes time 
to particle crushing, nothing happens. And you

can be the most un-genius and when Allah (AJ) 
wants to expand, everything opens because even

finding the door to the tariqah (spiritual path) 
was not ours, was not our cleverness, but was

Allah's (AJ) guidance. Means this is a continuous 
self-awareness, don't stop the self-awareness.

When Prophet ﷺ described that, ‘Don't leave me 
for a blink of an eye,’ within that blink, you

can realize how much credit you gave yourself.
He brought you or you brought you? If He brought

you, He'll feed you, He'll give you, but He 
wants from you. If you brought you, already

the blink lost you because you blinked, that must 
be immense for Prophet ﷺ ask, ‘Ya Rabbi not even

a blink’. Means not even the speed of a khater 
(thought) don't let shaitan (satan) come into

my mind with a thought that actually begins to 
take me away from faith. And it's a constant

vigilance that why is this happening, why 
would that happen, how did it happen. So,

what they say in tariqah (spiritual path) - 
don't ask how and why to Allah (AJ). I think

Sami Yusuf has a song but he used the wrong words, 
because the question is never ask Allah (AJ), ‘How

You’re going to do this for me and why did this 
happen’ – those are two questions you don't ever

ask Allah (AJ). ‘Why’ is not for us because Allah 
(AJ) doesn't answer to us, astaghfirullah, we are

the servants of Allah (AJ). And ‘How You’re 
going to provide this for me,’ is demeaning

and takes away from the honor of Allah (AJ). And 
the tariqah is the particle crushing school if

it's done correctly, that's what they should 
be, otherwise; God forbid, a group of just

particles. We've seen that in our traveling where 
the... you enter the room, the shaykh is smoking

and 20 people in the circle are also smoking – 
Chalabis, they do the whirling. And say, ‘What

kind of group is this?’ You know this the anyone 
from the realm of haqqaiq (reality) realize what

the heck is this kind of thing. So, there are 
people that appear to think they're enrolled in

a wave course, in a course based on lights and 
realities but the behaviors are very particle,

very material and dunya (material world) oriented. 
But alhamdulillah, for those whom following and

understanding all the 2,800 videos on YouTube is 
very clear curriculum that this shaykh he talks

about energy, he teaches about energy, his ‘ijazah 
(permission) is on tafakkur and contemplation

which means his ‘ijazah is on the wave reality. 
That's why many people are against it. ‘Oh the

outside people they say this and that’ because 
they're not understanding a wave reality.

So in this course of being crushed, Allah (AJ) 
is at every, every subtle grace is coming to us,

and the people of tafakkur continuously in a 
state of muraqabah (spiritual connection) and

contemplation. So everything the shaykh is 
giving out is going to be based on that reality.

So then the one whom is vigilant to know themself 
means that they strong in their tafakkur. They

don't put it aside thinking, ‘Now I’m busy for 
my dunya stuff.’ Your dunya don't come to you,

does not arrive to you without this process. 
This is what Allah (AJ) want to show the

student of a wave reality. Remember, this was 
when Sayyidina Khidr (as) and Sayyidina Musa

(as). The first test was what – the boat.
It wasn’t the last test. It was the first

test. Said, ‘Bring the boat down so we can get the 
student's attention.’ Sayyidina Khidr (as) brought

the boat down, didn't destroy it so they would 
never have a provision, but put a hole in the

boat so shaitan does not hijack the provision of 
that servant and use it for his own desires. So,

that why? The servant would understand that 
which comes in is not yours, that which comes

to you in your life is not yours, it is Allah's 
(AJ) entrusting into this reality. If you want

to be the students of a wave, it means that you 
don't care for the dunya. You may be given all of

the dunya under your command because the dunya 
version was Sayyidina Yusuf (as) – the 12th.

Because we said in the dunya, and the khawas 
(elite) versions of Qur'an, the 12th surah

for dunya is Sayyidina Yusuf (as) and for the 
khawas the 12th hijab (veil) is Surat Al-Kawthar

because it's now from the nines, powers of nines. 
So, Sayyidina Yusuf (as) character to reach to the

holy Kawthar (The Fountain of Abundance) and 
teaching that what Sayyidina Yusuf (as) after

all his testing, crushing, being thrown into the 
well, being taken out as a asir (captive) - as a

servant - as a slave, and being brought into Malik 
al Aziz (The Almighty King), and in the end thrown

into jail for his khalwah (seclusion). And as 
he came out of his khalwah, Allah (AJ) gave the

king of Misr (Egypt) and they gave the keys 
of all of Misr, the kingdom of the earth,

the strongest kingdom on earth. He was given 
the keys of all financial responsibilities

of Egypt and all spiritual responsibilities 
that his father made sujood (prostration) and

kissed his feet. This is a… Sayyidina Yaqub 
(as) is a Prophet (as) of Allah (AJ).

So when people say, ‘There's no respect, oh you 
don't respect, this is shirk (polytheism),’ those

are shaitans, you throw them out of the way. See 
what the shaitans are doing now. Qur'an is all

about ‘ihtiram (respect). Even the Magicians 
of Sayyidina Musa (as) who were rewarded for

asking, ‘Ya Musa (as), you go first or we go 
first, what do you want?’ Giving a ‘ihtiram.

Sayyidina Yaqub (as) is bows down and kisses the 
feet of his son – Sayyidina Yusuf (as) for what

he achieved. And we described before, said ‘The 
sun and the moon are under my command.’ Say, ‘Oh

don't tell your brother,’ at the beginning of the 
qissah (story). Why? Because literally the sun and

the moon are under the command. And physically he 
was given entire keys of all financial wealth.

So it's not that wealth doesn't come to awliya 
(saints), it's under their command. So the shaykhs

are very wealthy, otherwise, how can the poor 
help anybody? So these are different haqqaiqs and

realities because one time people came and said, 
‘Oh, I thought you would all be like poor and have

a guitar because I see all your people are big 
belly people.’ I said, ‘I don't know what Sufi

books you read, thinking we all would be sitting 
there with the rags on us and have a guitar

singing chantings.’ So, no tariqah’s not like 
that, that's the tariqah of the books. But the

tariqah of haqqaiq, no, they have the mulk (realm) 
of dunya under their feet to use in the way

of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. And they're custodians 
of the kingdom of Allah (AJ) upon this earth to

fight the kingdom of shaitan and to counter the 
actions of shaitan upon this earth until Sahibul

Zaman Sayyidina Muhammad al Mahdi (as) appears 
in his zuhoor (appearance) to reestablish the

kingdom of Allah (AJ) and put shaitan under his 
feet. So these are a nearby truths that’s coming,

coming quicker than people can even imagine. 
But in this school of tarbiyah (discipline) and

realities, everything is based on the 
tafakkur and contemplation so that you

don't miss the blink. ‘Did I blink?’ The one who 
not meditating maybe not catching the blinks.

That's why it's important in our life, that when 
we sit and we make our tafakkur, our contemplation

and think about how to make our energy and 
understand that through my connection, everything

is opening. When I don't have time, I don't 
have time for everything else, but I always have

time to make my connection because without that 
connection, nothing else is going to open nor will

it stay open or can it be opened because if we're 
enrolled in the reality of a wave, Allah (AJ) is

going to crush the particle. And through our 
lives, this is how we were trained and this

is how the ‘ijazah for training has come out, is 
to teach them to connect. When they connect, they

have a strong understanding of tawakkul (perfected 
trust in God) to Allah (AJ), they have a strong

connection understanding that what they say, 
what they do, and every action will affect their

condition. Allah (AJ) doesn't change a condition 
until people change what's within themselves.

Condition can be money, can be health, can be 
character, it could be maqams and stations,

because everybody wants some condition but are 
they changing what's within themselves? Everyone

wants a relief of a condition but they don't 
want to change themselves. So then tafakkur, they

contemplate: ‘Ya Rabbi give me an understanding, 
that is my character okay? What is causing a

difficulty? My character, my sincerity, my purity, 
my connection with the shaykh, not diluted with

this and that or another shaykh or another place’. 
That if Mawlana Naqshband (Q) adhered so much to

the sunnah (traditions) of Prophet ﷺ, because this 
is a whole different level of their tawakkul to

the love of Prophet ﷺ, he stepped with the wrong 
foot into the wash facility and was constipated

for 15 days, which is a deadly, deadly difficulty. 
It's not something that people say, ‘Oh...’ no, it

was severe danger. And he realized that just from 
walking incorrectly with the sunnah of Prophet ﷺ,

this is their caliber, it's not something that 
we're going to be capable, we can't even keep

the connection with the shaykhs, but what they 
adhere to of the sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

because again, that's their understanding, 
their complete connection to Prophet ﷺ,

not to break the way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, not 
to be tark al adab (leaving manners) and break the

adabs (manners) of the way of Sayyidina Muhammad 
ﷺ. That's why then the shaykhs of this reality are

teaching that everything is in a contemplation 
and everything is about my self-observance. Did

I think this was from me and did I think I became 
clever? Or is this about I'm nothing, I'm nothing,

I make my connection, I make my awrad (daily 
practice), I make my zikrs (Divine remembrance), I

make everything so that I understand that whatever 
opens for me in life is from them, not from me,

not my cleverness, not my anything. We've said 
you before, there's a thousand shaykhs lined up to

take my position. So, thousand people ready. Now, 
what about your position? Ten thousand people.

Means Allah (AJ) has people lined up everywhere; 
Allah’s (AJ) creation is everywhere. You think

you recite special that nobody else can do it? No. 
Tomorrow, He make your voice go, and the next one

voice better. It's a khidmat and a service. ‘Ya 
Rabbi whatever You graced me with of intellect,

knowledge, rizq - sustenance, what is it You gave 
to me, it's not mine. Whatever You gave to me is

a gift from Your presence, and I put that gift at 
the feet of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and I ask to be

of service to the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ 
with my time,’ with whatever Allah (AJ) gives to

us, with our ability, our ‘aqel - our intellect, 
our skills. And that's what the shaykh's asking

from people, that if you have an ability, bring 
it, bring it to the feet of Prophet ﷺ. Live a life

like they lived, was a life of service. Goes back 
to the beginning of what we started, this is the

honor and the dress of our existence. This sunnah 
(traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) is an honor to

be given to us. That Prophet ﷺ is granting us this 
honor that, ‘I will allow you to carry my sunnah,

to carry my way’. And the skill and the 
ability that you have, whatever comes to you,

means our whole life was that this is at the 
feet of Prophet ﷺ. What I'm in need of it,

I take; the rest for the nation and whatever we're 
supposed to be doing for the benefit of Prophet ﷺ

in these last days for the arrival of Sayyidina 
Mahdi (as). Look at how the others are doing.

They have more belief in what's coming for 
them, even if it's satanic they're believing,

and our belief that coming from the kingdom of 
Allah (AJ), a great soul that brings honor and

Divine love and respect and humanity upon the 
earth. What could be a greater cause for being

alive in these days than to see and witness the 
holy face of Imam Mahdi (as) with good character,

good actions, with everything that been 
taught and continuously reconfirmed here? So,

means our whole life is a process of 
tafakkur. Everything, sitting that,

‘Am I acting okay? Is my character okay? Is my 
mannerisms okay?’ And that, ‘Ya Rabbi everything

coming from You’. And a reminder for 
myself that Allah (AJ) brought us this far,

Allah (AJ) take us to the end. That everything 
is in Allah’s (AJ) Hands. “HasbunAllahu wa ni’mal

Wakil. Ni'mal Mawlaa wa ni'man Naseer. La hawla 
wa la quwwata illa billahil ‘Aliyul ‘Azhim.”

That Allah (AJ) is the one providing everything, 
every station, every faith, every belief, every

action, and all we're supposed to do is have good 
character. Leave the rest in Allah's (AJ) Hands.

But how to find that I have good character and 
I didn't break an adab was by my tafakkur and my

contemplation. If you don't contemplate, it's 
like all day long walking on ants and saying,

‘I don't know that I crushed anything,’ so you 
don't watch where your feet are going? So tafakkur

is for me to be vigilant. When Prophet ﷺ, Prophet 
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is warning for a blink of

an eye, that's the immensity of the danger; you 
blink and your thought went a different direction,

and before you know it, you're 90 miles an hour in 
a completely different paradigm. But when you're

continuously in your tafakkur, you realize my 
shaykh is this, my connection is the shaykh,

whatever coming to me is from their 
du’as (supplications) and at the feet

of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and that my life and my 
entire existence at the feet of Sayyidina Muhammad

ﷺ. And they crushed and they crushed and they 
crushed, only then the particle crushes because

the particle is what? The particle is the 
one that came out of the ocean. The particle

is the drop that came out and actually 
thought itself to be something independent

and how a drop can be outside of an ocean 
without drying? Its existence is so temporary

and so frail. But shaitan boost the 
particle to think you're special.

So then the tariqah is teaching: no, when you 
meditate and contemplate and crush yourself

and crush ourselves from thinking anything 
is from me, everything is from them. Then

my salawats (praises upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), my 
zikr, my practices, my connection with the shaykh

is primary. And as a result of that connection, 
I see him in front of me. I haven't done anything

bad that I have to feel ashamed and I see him 
in front of me and through that connection,

every protection is coming and every opening 
is happening. And only through that reality

they realize they are not a drop, they don't want 
to be a drop, they have nothing to do with being

a drop. And as a result Allah (AJ) enter them 
back into the ocean of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.

So it's a continuous; the one whom is not 
making their tafakkur, not trying to annihilate,

not trying to then where is everything coming 
from? Maybe in the blink, you thought yourself

to be self-sufficient. And it just take a blink 
of an eye and before you know it people, ‘Oh I

don't have time for this, I don't have time for 
that.’ What you don't have time for it? It is our

lifeline, the connection is the lifeline, these 
are for the things that people like in dunya,

what about when difficulty comes? And we said 
before, there's other ways to see if you're a

particle or a wave yet. You know when you have 
your scary dream and you say, ‘Oh I fought off

this devil. Shaykh after you talked about this, 
this shaitans came and I was fighting them’. Okay

so you're still a particle because I didn't hear 
you say that I made madad (support). Say, ‘Oh

yeah, that's the one thing I forgot to do when 
the devil came and tried to attack me.’ That's

again even in the spiritual realm that you have to 
have trained and trained and trained that you come

back and say, ‘Shaykh, soon as something came into 
the room, immediately went into madad and fiercely

went after it’. So even when they repeat their 
dreams and different events that are happening,

it's like a medical office, the patient talks 
and you begin to understand what's going on,

what's going on. So there's an entire science in 
this reality in which we're continuously reminded

in this holy month of Shawwal, drop the particle, 
and this is the opportunity in which to crush the

particle and that Allah (AJ)… because we're 
about to enter into the holy month of 11 and

the holy month the 12th is the hijrah (migration) 
into the oceans of Kawthar and into the realities

of Sayyidina Yusuf (as). So, these are the immense 
days of realities and blessings and we see all

that is opening upon the earth that is a forceful 
crushing of every particle, unimaginable crushing

coming upon people that people can't even stand 
to hear how it's happening. And we said whatever

shaitan is doing to these people in the physical 
realm, Allah (AJ) is granting them immense wave

realities, immense wave realities. That if shaitan 
think he want to crush and destroy the people of

the heavens, he's making them and crowning them to 
be the immense saintly souls of the heavens.

We pray that Allah (AJ) grant from these souls 
that have come upon the earth with all the barakah

(blessing) and power that Allah (AJ) dressing upon 
them that their nazar (gaze) be upon us, their

blessings be upon us and that the sacrifice and 
immense sacrifice of their suffering and immense

torture and difficulty that been afflicted upon 
them, that they come to the support of those whom

will remain upon this earth. That we're in need of 
a immense wave reality and the lives of people who

have been tortured and dismembered and put into 
immense difficulties is not something wasted.

Allah (AJ) granting them immense, immense stations 
of light, these are the shuhada (martyrs) that

are all under the flag of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, 
all under the flag of Imam Mahdi (as). And that

Allah (AJ) to keep us in the company of those 
whom He has favored and dressed and blessed

with immense lights and that their nazar be 
upon us, our families and our communities.
