And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal
'ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, but
-
for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we are
still in existence. And alhamdulillah,
-
that Allah (AJ) guided us on this immense gift
to the love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and without
-
a doubt, its reality and its immense power. That
in the month in which we keep talking about Surah
-
Munafiqeen and its importance that for the seventh
month, seven holy openings, the seven openings of
-
the heart, everything to open on this path of
sincerity is to destroy hypocrisy. The outward
-
enemy of hypocrisy because on this subject, we
see very little questions, not too many people
-
are comfortable asking about hypocrisy; they'd
rather ask about other types of questions. It's
-
an uncomfortable subject because of its immense
reality. That to open the heart and open the
-
seven points of the head, to open the layers…

As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
of the heart, to open the seven names and the
-
reality of why seven tawaf (circumambulation)
and all of these secrets that come on the seventh
-
month, Allah (AJ) gives to us Surah Munafiqeen
to see that this hypocrisy must end.
-
That one, it seems like the heavens are ringing a
very loud bell of actual physical hypocrisy that
-
has overtaken because the deceitful one is moving.
As the deceitful one moves upon this earth,
-
hypocrisy becomes rampant. The inner hypocrisy
that tariqahs (spiritual paths) come to remove,
-
hypocrisy is a destruction and evilness. With a
inner hypocrisy very difficult to open anything
-
from Allah's (AJ) immense rahmah and mercy and
they come to teach us how to destroy the hypocrisy
-
and sustain ourselves within Allah's
(AJ) Mercy. But without a doubt,
-
always the questions begin to come and especially
in the month of hypocrisy, that everything in our
-
life is a madad (support), everything in
our life is a continuous state of support,
-
and that Allah (AJ) wants for us that to
understand everything in our lives comes
-
from Allah (AJ). So, this is without a doubt,
but the minute you have a difficulty and you pick
-
up the phone for help, that's madad. If you get
stuck on the freeway, and your car needs repair,
-
and you begin to call service representatives –
that's madad. If anything that we do in our life
-
that we seek a means towards something is madad,
and in every aspect of our life, we use that. And
-
the outer hypocrite always has to enter in to try
to convince the inner hypocrite. We said before in
-
the talk of devils that many people are talking as
zahiri (external understanding) people, external
-
scholars. They obsess about outward devils. ‘This
is a devil; that's a devil; this is a devil; this
-
is a devil’. But they forgot that the inner devil
is the one that calls the outside devil. Because
-
if there's no inside devil, then the devil's
outside, who cares? He's got no pull on you,
-
no hand on you. But haqqaiq and the realities
come and say: no, it’s actually the inner devil
-
that keeps opening all the doors and unlocks
the windows so all the outer devils come in and
-
attack. So, the threat and the danger lies within.
Why Prophet ﷺ taught us about the outside was on
-
how to fight them, but then taught us the greatest
battle is your inside devil. So, you have to be
-
trained on how to fight the outside - you wash
and fast and the zikr (Divine remembrance) and
-
salah (daily prayer), and everything Allah
(AJ) gave to us. But Prophet ﷺ gave to us as
-
a warning that the greatest battle lies within
– it's Jihadil Akbar (greater struggle). By
-
understanding that the tariqahs (spiritual
path) come to destroy this inner hypocrite.
-
That in this life we lead, now if you
would have taken it back 150 years ago,
-
they had more sincerity; people had more
yaqeen (certainty). If they were traveling
-
on a road and they fell into difficulty,
they had to summons through their heart,
-
and they would make a prayer in their heart that,
‘Please, I'm in need and send somebody to help me,
-
my Lord.’ And inevitably, if they pious and
the person was pious, then a fellow traveler
-
would come along the way because they had tawakkul
(perfected trust in God), they had their reliance
-
upon Allah (AJ). If you were traveling far from
home, you would get a signal within your heart:
-
‘Something's happening, I have to go back
home.’ And people were communicating with
-
the power of their heart. But in this day and
age, where every technology from Allah (AJ) has
-
been taken away and then substituted with
shaitan's (satan’s) technology, with the
-
jinn (unseen beings) technologies, so that we
would not use the power Allah (AJ) gave to us.
-
But the outer hypocrite always enters into these
discussions and says, ‘This is a bid’ah, this
-
is an innovation, this is a shirk (polytheism);
what does it have to do with worshipness? Means
-
the words they start to use, they don't understand
that they are hypocrites. The mere factor that
-
when they say that there is no such thing as
madad and calling for help and that everything
-
is based on only calling Allah (AJ), what we just
explained: if you got stuck on the road, don't
-
be a hypocrite; call Allah (AJ). How many have
that certainty that they can sit in their heart,
-
make the du’a (supplication), and that Allah (AJ)
will send a tow truck to get you? Because even
-
when the tow truck comes, it's from Allah's
(AJ) permission. If Allah (AJ) doesn't give
-
a permission, that truck will never reach you; it
will break down, he’ll decide he doesn't want to
-
come. Means if Allah (AJ) doesn't give bi-iznillah
- without the permission of Allah (AJ), nothing
-
happens; that's already a given; this is
a kindergarten level of understanding. But
-
what they want us to understand, look, every
aspect of our life is madad; they just don't
-
realize it. If you ask for help, that's madad.
If you watched a video on how to cook, that was
-
madad. If you... anything in our life, think of
anything in our life where we're seeking a means
-
to an understanding. When those same people said,
‘You should rely only on Allah (AJ)’, they don't.
-
They don’t connect their heart and come up with
a recipe. They don't connect their heart and get
-
help on the freeway. And if they're being robbed
in a burglary into their home, they definitely
-
don't connect their heart, say, ‘Everything,
wait; hold on; Allah’s (AJ) sending support.’
-
So, for every aspect of their life, it's okay
because according to them, then this is shirk;
-
this is making a partnership with Allah (AJ).
But tariqahs come with an enlightenment and say,
-
‘What are you talking about?’ This word that you
use, making a partner with Allah (AJ), this is
-
a big punishment to say something like that. But
in every day of our life, we're using a means of
-
which Allah (AJ) has given to us. That everything
comes by Allah (AJ), but He gave us a phone, this
-
technology of a phone to use it and bi-iznillah
– with the permission of Allah (AJ), when you
-
dial, ‘Ya Rabbi send me help,’ and then I call
for police, and Allah (AJ) sends them to come.
-
‘Ya Rabbi, please help me; I need to call a
tow truck.’ You communicate within your heart,
-
and with the permission of Allah (AJ), everything
comes to us. So, the tariqahs come to teach
-
people, look, everybody's doing this madad; they
just don't know it, and they keep making these
-
horrible expressions of grievous punishments.
To make a partnership with Allah (AJ) – that's
-
like making an idol and saying that this idol
will now save me, help me, and cure me, and
-
I pray to that idol. That's not anything of what
people are doing, but they take the grace and the
-
blessings of Allah (AJ) and they use them. They
make their phone call, knowing that Allah (AJ)
-
to send the support, and that's madad. They want
to learn something on the internet; that's madad.
-
They want to learn something about their
deen (religion), they watch a video;
-
that's madad because you're seeking a means
towards Allah's (AJ) goal. You're seeking a way
-
in which to enlighten yourself, train yourself,
teach yourself. So, the tariqahs come to remove;
-
this is the month where Allah (AJ) is teaching
that follow the tariqahs because they remove this
-
inner hypocrite. Because nothing could be worse
than somebody who uses these words to spiritual
-
teachers, but in their everyday life, they use
it. And "Judge not, for you shall be judged,"
-
that Allah (AJ) holds that servant to account.
That, ‘Didn't you just say that to one of these
-
Shaykhs? I'm going to hold that for you and now
ask you when I see you next. That you said this,
-
but you were doing this. You said this and
you were doing that.’ And that hypocrisy
-
is the sickness that has to die; that
hypocrisy will never take us to heaven.
-
And that's why the turuqs (spiritual paths),
they are the school of excellence and moral
-
excellence. We said many times in our 35
years of experience and dealing with people,
-
the extent of the hypocrisy of these
people is unbelievable. If we put in
-
our homes beautiful pictures of Shaykhs,
why? Because there's Hadith from them,
-
the face of a wali (saint) is more powerful
than the mountain of Jabal Uhud; the face of
-
a Qutub (cardinal pole). And even having a picture
of Jabal Uhud is a shifa and healing for you. So,
-
it means that when you look at the face
of pious people, there's a soul attached;
-
it reminds you of your Lord. Inner hypocrite
says, ‘There's no pictures in Islam’ – for me. For
-
them – every type of forbidden picture that remind
them of every zina (immoral acts), every badness,
-
every horribleness – this allowed through their
magazine, through their television, through
-
their newspaper, through the money they have in
their pocket of dead presidents; everything for
-
the hypocrite is okay. Every picture, all
surrounding them, that even to the extent
-
of being on social media, which is a nonstop
bombardment of images and inappropriate images.
-
They're cursing us and say, ‘Why are you doing
zikr (Divine remembrance)? This is innovation,’
-
and the person is on TikTok, which there's not
a stream of zikrs coming through TikTok. First,
-
you have to ask the guy, ‘What are you doing here?
Because you're not using it for Allah (AJ); that's
-
very obvious.’ It's just the hypocrisy of
everything, and that's why we saw all of it in our
-
lives, especially in tariqah. So, anybody exposed
to tariqah, they get astonished that, ‘Why they
-
say this is wrong? Why is they say…’ Well, because
this is a path towards the light. And the biggest
-
barrier to the light is the hypocrite. And how
would you know a hypocrite unless Allah (AJ) sends
-
the outside hypocrite? Where you're like asking,
‘What is this guy saying? That why is… why is
-
this a shirk, and making a partner with Allah
(AJ) because I'm asking for help?’ But when he
-
picks up his phone, that's not a shirk; when
he asks for help from 500 different people,
-
that's not a shirk. When we want to celebrate the
birth of Prophet ﷺ, they say this is innovation;
-
then they send you a notice on social media, ‘It's
my son's birthday.’ And this is the sickness.
-
This is why Allah (AJ), especially to tariqah
people, because tariqah people if they're not
-
strong, they hear the words of hypocrites and
begin to have doubt. That's was the biggest
-
danger. Right? A Jewish person come to you and
says, ‘Your religion is awful.’ You say, ‘Okay,
-
alhamdulillah, this is my religion; your religion
to yourself.’ A Christian person says same thing;
-
it's not a problem because they have their
own faith that's why they follow their faith;
-
we have our own faith, we follow our own faith.
But the one who says he's from your faith and says
-
everything from hypocrisy creates a doubt amongst
people, and that's the danger. That weak people or
-
new people come and say that, ‘What is he talking
about? Why would being ruqya (blessing) and having
-
Allah's (AJ) name on my neck, why would that be
something wrong?’ There's not anything wrong.
-
They wear a cross to work, and they're trying
to tell you not to put Allah's (AJ) name on
-
your ruqya and your ta’weez (prayer for
protection). And that same individual
-
probably puts a suit and tie, which his tie is a
cross. If you look at the evolution of a tie, they
-
wrap around the neck, and a string coming down.
They're wearing a… why do you call them…? You’re
-
wearing a cross on their neck, and you’re talking
about wearing Allah's (AJ) name is a innovation.
-
In every aspect of our life, from what they eat,
how they pray, what they say, what they do, how
-
they interact with Allah (AJ), is about hypocrisy.
And the tariqahs comes to tell us and to teach us
-
hypocrisy must be destroyed, and that Allah's (AJ)
way is to destroy hypocrisy. That, ‘Ya Rabbi all
-
these things around me grant me from the blessings
of these pictures. Let my eyes always to see the
-
faces in which You're happy with, and by looking
at their faces, it reminds me of the love and the
-
way of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.’ And this becomes our
battle to exist in this dunya (material world).
-
That's why everything from the tariqah is to bring
down that disease, to bring down that sickness.
-
And that's why the tariqah people see it the
most. They come across every aspect of this way.
-
These are the people, if they see a tasbih (prayer
beads) in your hand, they say this is innovation.
-
That how could remembering Allah (AJ) be
innovative, as if something wrong? But the
-
phone in your hand from shaitan is not innovative?
Then... wore a ring, and the craziest one is you
-
wear a ring and the person said, ‘This is
a shirk’. Say, ‘How is shirk? What does it
-
have to do with the worshipness of Allah (AJ)? You
kissed the black stone; I'm just wearing a ring on
-
my hand. Well, how you come up with these words?’
And again, it's just the sickness of hypocrisy,
-
just not knowing anything but saying everything.
And there's a deep reality behind everything,
-
an immense reality behind all of these practices.
But we pray that Allah (AJ) give us the strength
-
to destroy our inner demon, that that inner demon
that makes a partnership with the outer demon,
-
and then they plan together to
bring us down. That everything
-
that comes from the tariqah, from the heart
of Prophet ﷺ is a medicine for its time and
-
a protection for its time. The only thing is that
these people don't know what time it is; they're
-
stuck somewhere because of the deception of
shaitan. What shaitan is planning now and how he's
-
moving upon this earth, it requires us to keep
a strong connection with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
-
All these other issues are not going to
resolve anything; they're not going to help
-
anyone. But they can break the connection with
Prophet ﷺ. If you take out all of the heavenly
-
barakahs (blessings) but you leave all of the
satanic system, you find the person to become
-
empty. This is the role of a hypocrite: put your
tasbih down, but your phone is okay. Take your
-
ring off, but wearing a shirt with some sort
of a band on it or a designer label on it,
-
and now the designer labels are disclosing
to you – they're satanic. They put images
-
of dead children, they say, ‘This is what
we worship.’ All of the controversy that
-
they had about the fashion industry was for
what? Their disclosure. And that's why we
-
said when people don't know what time it is,
they don't understand what shaitan is doing.
-
Those fashion industries they disclosed
they work for shaitan; they're literally
-
satanists. And everything that they put out has
an incantation upon it, has a prayer upon it, to
-
reduce the energy of people and to take away the
faith of people. And anything that you support,
-
you have a share in that support, in that
organization. If you support towards good,
-
you take the barakah and the blessings of
the good. If you support towards evilness,
-
you take a share of their evilness. That's why
shaitan made the disclosure. See how like a 4
-
billion company comes out and talks about, you
know, slaughtering people, and all their designers
-
were dressed in blood and red and dead children.
And say, ‘Oh this is horrific’. The designer came
-
back, said, ‘Sorry’ with his fingers crossed.
He wasn't sorry; it was to blaspheme Allah (AJ).
-
So, it's a blasphemy against Allah (AJ). And that
when the person supports it, what happens? They
-
can't claim ignorance; they can't go to Allah (AJ)
and say, ‘I didn’t know.’ Allah (AJ) said, we all
-
know. We all has on social media. As a result,
you're a shareholder now of that. That's why
-
shaitan's setting people up; he knows what will
get them to be punished, what difficulties will
-
come to them, take away the barakah, and bring all
of the difficulties and sickness upon mankind. We
-
pray that Allah (AJ) inspire us towards the
destruction of hypocrisy and the perfection
-
of our love and ishq for Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.
And on these holy nights, nothing more beautiful
-
than asking for the support of Ahlul Bayt (Holy
Family of Prophet ﷺ). That Sayyidina Zainab (as) a
-
great warrior in the way of truth. Of
what she witnessed death and suffering,
-
and the suffering of her family and her brothers
and sisters, and then the ultimate suffering of
-
witnessing Karbala. And Karbala is the apex of
munafiqeen (hypocrites). It wasn't Jewish and
-
Christian people killing Imam Hussain (as); they
were calling ‘azaan (call to prayer) and praying.
-
They waited in the ‘Asr (afternoon prayer) to go
pray; they would pray. After the ‘Asr, they came
-
to kill Imam Hussain (as). Her death, ‘alayhis
salaam, in Rajab under Surah Munafiqeen is the
-
whole symbol of her existence. Allah (AJ) kept
her soul alive to come back and say what happened.
-
That what these people did is unimaginable;
they said they were with us, that they loved
-
Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. And you would not
have done that to Prophet’s ﷺ sheep. If
-
you found two sheep from Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ, no one would have touched them like they
-
touched the two grandchildren or they
touched Imam Hussain (as), and all the
-
family members and grand, grandchildren,
because it's the symbol of hypocrisy.
-
That the hypocrite may say he's with you, but they
were very jealous of Prophet ﷺ and jealous of what
-
Allah (AJ) bestowed upon Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ,
and what was bestowed upon the holy family, and
-
even the companions suffered from the hypocrisy of
the Muslim nation. So, means the greatest threat
-
in our lives is the threat within, and in this
Rajab, the overwhelming bell that being rung is
-
that the munafiqs (hypocrites) have moved. They've
now started taking their action; they sold the
-
Muslim people, they sold the Muslim lands, and
they sold the deen (religion). They're not the
-
caretakers and they don't safeguard the people nor
the religion. And this is the overwhelming danger
-
that moving upon this earth. What we can do,
nothing from this physical other than identify it
-
but fight against the inner munafiq.
The inner munafiq that says, ‘No,
-
my love is for Prophet ﷺ.’ That Abrahamic accord
has nothing to do with Sayyidina Ibrahim (as).
-
They used this before when the Jews and Christians
were arguing that Sayyidina Ibrahim (as) is from
-
us. Allah (AJ) say, ‘He's not from any of you.
He’s Hanif and he's from us; he's pure, and you're
-
impure people trying to attach to his name’. It
didn't work before, and for those who safeguard
-
the trust, it's not going to work now. Impure
and dirty belief has nothing to do with Sayyidina
-
Ibrahim (as) – the father of faith. And this
is then our responsibility in life: is to fight
-
the munafiq inside that want to take away the
sunnah (traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), want to
-
take away all that's important. It wants to follow
the fashion; it wants to eat from their styles; it
-
wants to do from their styles. And they say that,
‘The style of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ is old, and we
-
can renew it,’ but the style of Sayyidina Muhammad
ﷺ is from paradise, and it never grows old. That
-
everything that Prophet ﷺ brought for us, our life
is try at our best to adhere to it, to try our
-
best to keep it, for trying our best to revive it
in a time which becomes more and more difficult.
-
We pray that Allah (AJ) give us the
madad and support of these amazing
-
souls. By remembering Sayyidatina Zainab
(as) and the immense proximity that she
-
has to Hazrat Fatima (as), to Imam Ali (as), to
Imam al Hassan (as) wa Imam Hussain (as), to the
-
nearness and love of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That
by remembering her, having this love for her,
-
praying a Fatiha for her, giving water for her,
feeding poor children in her name, all of these
-
acts brings us the immense lights of Rajab that
we were not able to achieve. It's enough for her
-
in this holy month, if they call this like the
month of milk and honey, and if we think we're
-
going to achieve these blessings only by our
own actions, it's not correct. But by loving
-
those whom their stations are immense, immense in
reality, by doing these good deeds in their names,
-
in the Holy Companion names, we pray that Allah
(AJ) grant us the immensities of the blessings of
-
Rajab and to dress us from the blessings and
the immensity of Rajab and the holy Isra wal
-
Mi’raj (Night Journey and Ascension) opening
on the 26th, the 27th of Rajab, inshaAllah.
