Not Everything That is Shiny is Gold: Tafseer of Surah 63 Al-Munafiqun

For all those whom are joining us online 
everywhere wherever you are, having majlises.

InshaAllah the guys in Northern California

Fardeen, Abdullah and I believe they’re at brother 
Anwar’s house. Our salaams (greetings) to all of

them for gathering and inshaAllah bring some of 
them down to Los Angeles when we have an event so

that they can get to know us.
InshaAllah, “A’uzu Billahi

Minash Shaitanir Rajeem.

minkum.”

And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal

and for the grace of Allah (AJ) 
that we are still in existence.

And always a reminder for myself ana abdukal

'ajeezu, dayeefu, miskinu, zhalim, wa jahl, 
and but for the grace of Allah (AJ) that we

are still in existence. We took a path in 
which to be nothing. And alhamdulillah,

from this knowledge of the heart and from the 
heart of Prophet ﷺ through awliyaullah (saints),

this way of ma’rifah (Gnosticism), this way 
of Shamsul ‘Arifeen (Sun of Knowers), and

that this is from the realities of the 
nine and the immense power of nine, the

sultanate (kingdom) of nine. And nine multiplied 
by anything brings out its reality. So we follow

the lunar months and the immensity of the reality 
of the lunar months, and these are for the khawas

and the elite of Divinely knowledges…
As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

As salaamu alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
not for common people. And common people may not

understand, but they're most welcome 
to attempt. But what Allah (AJ) warns

them in Surat Al-Kahf, because these are 
from the surahs (chapter) of the nine,

is: you won't have patience with something that 
you have very little to no knowledge about.

You become agitated; you think you know something; 
you memorize the one or two Hadith, and you going

to have confliction in everything been taught. 
This is a way in which Allah (AJ) says, ‘None

will know it but the people of tafakkur 
(contemplation).’ So, means one of their

attributes of Divinely knowledge, ‘Ilm e Laduni 
wa hikmati bis Saliheen (Divinely Knowledge and

Wisdom of the Righteous), you put all onto an 
equation, equals the people of tafakkur. And

that's why throughout Qur'an, Allah (AJ) will make 
mention of a people, the people of the baab, these

are these realities, and nobody knows these except 
the people of tafakkur (contemplation). It's like

a recap. So, means the ‘except the people of 
tafakkur’ they are then exceptional people,

not the mass. The mass of people not privyed to 
that understanding. Those whom Allah (AJ) grant

them an ability must have granted them the ability 
to access, listen, tune in, sit in, and attend.

This is a gift and ni’mat (blessing) from Allah 
(AJ). It's not for the masses. Now, what are you

going to do with that ni’mat is up to you and 
whatever Allah (AJ) has written for you.

So, our great fortune in this way of ishq and 
love, these awliyaullah open within our hearts

from the realities of Mawlana Shah Naqshband (Q) 
these knowledges of letters and numbers is from

the immense oceans of Mawlana Shah Naqshband 
(Q) and the immensity of the secret of nine,

and nine multiplied by anything brings out 
its reality. So, the seventh lunar month,

the holy month of Rajab. In this way of ma’rifah,

we're entering now into the pass the midpoint 
because there’s twelve pardeh (veils). So,

we passed the sixth pardeh; we're in the 
seventh pardeh, and this is the holy month

of Rajab: “Subhana man huwa khaliq anNur” – "Glory 
be to the one whom has created this light”.

That's not Allah (AJ) creating Himself. The one 
whom created light is not within the light in this

way of ma’rifah. Allah (AJ) created a light, 
a manifestation. Allah (AJ) is not a light;

Allah (AJ) outside of our understanding of 
creation. Light is a manifestation. Allah

(AJ) is not something that manifests; has 
no shekl, He’s not like this, not like that,

not here, not far; is beyond our understanding 
and reality. And Allah (AJ) created a light, that

light in which to be known. So, the immensity of 
Allah (AJ) being a hidden treasure wanting to be

known. Everything is in the reality of “La ilaha 
illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ", what we call

the zulfiqar (sword of Imam Ali (as)) – the laam, 
alif, bi sirratul lam jalala (secret of lam alif).

That every reality must be based on that.
The one whom grasps that, as if Allah (AJ) gave

them a firm grip on the zulfiqar. And that's 
what the expression that ‘there's no futuwwa, no

chivalry except through the hand of Imam Ali (as)’ 
because this is one of the gifts given to this

holy companion responsible for futuwwa – for the 
way of chivalrous character. So, is not common;

these are the knights of the heavens, not the 
populace of everywhere. But this way that taught

by Imam Ali (as), from the holy companions is 
chivalry, and there is no sword like the zulfiqar.

Means that if the laam, alif take your head off 
every ‘uloom and knowledge will enter into that

heart. Why? Because shaitan’s (satan) abode is in 
the head. We said many times our battle is between

the head and the heart. You sit in the shaykh's 
presence, and you ask questions through your

head. Why? You give a audience for shaitan. You 
were supposed to cut your head, not physically,

don't go harm yourself, but your life is don't 
listen to your head. Shaitan enter into your

head and make a big problem. Between your two 
ears and what you see and what you breathe,

shaitan's whole goal is after the head. So, 
our battle is between the head and the heart,

head and the heart. That this head for dunya 
(material world) and even it doesn't know

how to do that very well because look at how 
people are running dunya. Our way is through the

heart. “Qalb al mu’min baytullah”. Allah (AJ) also 
describes, ‘I'm not in heaven; I'm not on Earth,

but I am in the heart of My believer.’
Our life then became the quest to enter to

the heart to find the true house of Allah (AJ), 
the lights of Allah (AJ), the character in which

Allah (AJ) loves, and that Allah (AJ) is a hidden 
treasure wanting to be known. So, this path is

based on that sword. “La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun 
Rasulallah ﷺ". La ilaha illAllah is always the

power and qudra, not something you contemplate. 
‘Oh maybe I'm in here; maybe my existence came

from there.’ No, by itself, is very clear. Like 
some of these questions that we get, what was

the one we were saying today like, ‘How do I know 
if I have lost the connection with the Shaykh or

how do I know if I have gained the connection of 
the Shaykh?’ Is that really a relevant question?

If you don't feel the presence, you have not 
gained the presence. If you feel the presence,

you have gained the presence. Things that are very 
logical seem to be most difficult for people. They

look for Allah (AJ) in La ilaha illAllah, but 
it very clear - there is no Divinity; there is

nothing here but Allah (AJ), not you, not anyone. 
And it's such a powerful phrase. It's the phrase

of annihilation; La ilaha illAllah. We don't 
even exist, if you understood that correctly.

No ilah, no creation, no nothing but Allah (AJ). 
How is Allah (AJ) after this advent of creation?

Imam Ali (as) explains, ‘Allah (AJ) is as He 
has always been.’ There is no creation; it came

in a flash, and it has already disappeared. 
We all exist within this flash of a moment.

Allah’s (AJ) day can be 50,000 of your years. So, 
did we come into existence for just a day? Where

Allah (AJ) wanted to be known, turned it off; 
the day finished. You're still going through that

process. So, it means that nothing for us to look 
at or quest or search in La ilaha illAllah, but

that it is a immense power and qudra. 
So, Rabbil ‘Izzati, ‘Izzatullah (Allah’s

(AJ) Might and Magnificence), ‘Azhamatullah and 
that Allah (AJ) a hidden treasure wanting to be

known. And as a result, that moment and flash of 
wanting to be known, Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ. And

that's why the kalimah (testimony) is 
everything for us. You lose faith, re-enter

your shahadah (testimony of faith), ‘La ilaha 
illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ’ recalibrates

you. Anything you do anything 
wrong, redo your shahadah. It's a

purification and recalibration phrase, take 
us back to the reality of our origin from the

power of La ilaha illAllah, and by the reality 
and the presence of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ in

which we exist from that ocean. The immensity 
of that reality that our life is then to hold

that sword. That how to enter into Muhammadun 
Rasulallah ﷺ in the world of lights. Because

it's a uninterrupted phrase in Arabic. 
You write all the way La ilaha illAllah to

the alif, laam, laam, hey, waw above it connects 
to meem, ha, meem, daal and then Rasulallah,

it connects. It's a unbroken phrase. What is 
that reality, where these two rivers meet.

Another version, where is “Qaaba qawsayni aw 
adna” – where the two bows meet, or close,

or even “aw adna” – even closer.
We can't understand the proximity of

that reality but awliyaullah come into our 
life and teach that that La ilaha illAllah is

Allah’s (AJ) eternal ocean of power, of Qudrat 
al Ilahiya – Divinely Powers. That it emanates

out and is the manifestation, the power that 
makes Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ to manifest,

the power of that reality. So, it means that 
to take a life towards this reality and the

immensity of this way of light and ma'rifah.
So, we come to the seventh month in this way of

ma'rifah, because they're reverse engineering. You 
start at the end, and you're moving your way back

to the beginning. Muharram, we walked in; we’re 
reverse engineering this reality, trying to get

to the holy month of Hajj because it's a hijrah 
(migration), a spiritual hijrah. As soon as we hit

into the reality of seven, and everybody says, 
‘Why seven tawaf (circumambulation)? Why seven

holy openings on the face,’ which is the crown of 
creation that Allah (AJ) Divinely Face dresses the

reality of a face and seven holy openings. With 
the immense importance of seven, Allah (AJ) gives

to us that this sultanate of nine, when it 
multiplies with the power of seven, it brings

for you the reality of 63. So immediately awliya 
(saints) knew go to Surah 63. Surah 63 on this way

of ma’rifah is Munafiqeen, and this year became 
immensely detailed about Surah Munafiqeen. One,

we have to know the external munafiq (hypocrite). 
Once we truly identify the external munafiqeen,

the munafiq, the external one which is… Allah 
(AJ) [described as] most dangerous, most evil,

most punished because Allah (AJ) described when 
we talk back, you can go back to the first ones

we go… Hajji Junaid you read first verse, second 
verse, third verse, go, we go verse by verse as

a recap of Surah Munafiqeen to know the extent of 
the hypocrisy in which Allah (AJ) is warning the

believers on this way of ‘arifeen (knowers) 
because they… none will know it except these

people whom train in tafakkur. “ A’uzu Billahi 
Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir Rahmanir

Raheem”. From our Qur'an, on 
the app [instructs reciter].

Allah (AJ), beginning with the name of the Most 
Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the hypocrites

come in your presence, oh dear Prophet Muhammad, 
peace and blessings be upon him, they say we

testify that you surely are Allah's (AJ) noble 
messenger, and Allah (AJ) knows that you indeed

are His noble messenger, and Allah (AJ) testifies 
that the hypocrites are indeed Liars.

So, what? What? What? They're Liars. You 
heard them say La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun

Rasulallah ﷺ. You may know them as family; you 
may know them as relatives; you may know them

as people working; you may know them when you go 
traveling. And Allah (AJ) is giving for us, they

say La ilaha illAllah Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ, and 
Allah (AJ) is talking to Prophet ﷺ, says, ‘I know

that is true, but they don't really believe that. 
They don't believe it at all.’ Next verse.

they have taken their oaths as a shield, thereby 
prevented others from Allah's (AJ) way. Indeed,

they commit extremely evil deeds.
Ah, they commit evil deeds, most of which

you don't know. Even from what you see, their 
life is dirty. Drink, they smoke, they do drugs.

They have very evil and bad business acumen, do 
very bad things, and they want to talk to you

about religion, and they want to talk against 
‘ulama (religious scholars) and awliya whom by

their deeds and their actions, you understand 
who they are. And the dirtiest of people,

dirtiest of actions, they're the ones commenting, 
saying, ‘Shirk’ (polytheism) and making all sorts

of ridiculous comments. You go back to their 
websites, horrific, bad, bad, bad. You go

back to the character and the lifestyles of 
these people, very bad, very inappropriate,

and these are from just the common ones. And 
the rulers among them that they say, ‘No,

we hold the keys of all of your belief,’ and 
they're going to sell Al-Aqsa, they're going

to sell the deen (religion), and they're going 
to sell its people. Right now, it's graveyards,

and not one person said anything. And where people 
were buried if they were fresh, they took the

bodies to sell the organs, and if they were not 
fresh, they decimated, desecrated, and bulldozed

over. What about those people who testified 
and have all the power and the money? Nothing.

Evil is their deeds. Next.
That is because they accepted faith with

their tongues, then disbelieved with their hearts; 
therefore, their hearts were sealed. So now,

they do not understand anything.
Anyone who doesn't take a path in which

to “Dhikrillahi tatma’innul Qulob. Dhikrillahi 
tatma’innul Qulob.” If someone not coming

to zikrullah (remembrance of Allah (AJ)), not Ahle 
Zikr (People of Divinely Remembrance), they say,

‘Oh, no, I go Jum’ah (Friday prayer). Jum’ah 
is a zikr’. No, you're wrong. Zikrullah, they

make halaqahs (circles) and they begin to 
praise Allah (AJ). It cleans the heart.

We'll go next Allah (AJ) will prove that, if 
they're not making zikr and they're not cleaning

their heart, Allah (AJ) warning that their belief 
is only to the extent of this head of theirs,

and belief has not entered into their heart. If 
you don't clean the heart, what happens? Shaitan

is in the heart. Shaitan is not letting 
your Islam come into the heart. He says,

‘Say it all you want on your tongue, but I sit 
upon your heart.’ And they can say all they want,

they have perfect qira’at (recitation), they take 
people, then burn them alive. What happened? What

was that? How you did that? Because there's 
just a false profession upon the mouth.

How many percentage of that are like that? 
Allah (AJ) knows best. But how many percentage

are Ahle Zikr in which Allah (AJ), because we're 
talking about qulobihum, that their shahadah

didn't enter into their heart; it only stayed on 
the level of the tongue. So it means now we have a

danger, when we take notes; we say, ‘Oh, there are 
a group of people in which their belief is only

tongue, and it didn't enter into the heart.’ And 
then you make a note because awliyaullah teaching

you “Dhikrillahi tatma’innul Qulob”. Allah (AJ) 
in Qur’an mentions that, ‘The zikr, My zikr is the

only thing that brings a purity and tranquility 
to the heart’. If they're not the people of zikr,

most likely their shahadah is only on their tongue 
because had they been sincere, they would have

wanted to mention Allah (AJ) often. Because just 
even a human quality, imagine the Divine quality

that can't be understood, human quality - you 
love your child; you want to call every day,

‘How is he? Where is he? What is he doing? 
Did he eat? Did he play?’ Isn't that like

a zikr (remembrance) of him. Every moment you 
want to know what happened. How the reverse can

a creation who claims to love their Lord but don't 
want to mention Him? And Allah (AJ) says, ‘It's

not possible. If you love Me, you're continuously 
making My zikr.’ What was Allah's (AJ) zikr,

by order of Qur'an? “InnAllaha wa malayikatahu 
yusalluna ‘alan Nabi, yaa ayyuhal ladhina aamanu…”

that's less, who cares about that.
“InnAllaha wa malayikatahu yusalluna ‘alan Nabi

ﷺ” the zikr of Allah (AJ) is the salawat (praises) 
upon Prophet ﷺ! So when we're saying, ‘zikrullah,

zikrullah’ is the salawat upon Sayyidina 
Muhammad ﷺ is the zikr of Allah (AJ). So again,

we go back to these people we know 
who try to teach us, comment upon us,

give fatwas (Islamic rulings) for us. Allah (AJ) 
say, ‘Okay, just because they said shahadah,

they don't meet these criteria’. Are they from the 
people whom their shahada is only in their tongue?

If they think it's in their heart, then they have 
to go back and think, are they the people of zikr?

Do they make zikr that they think that their 
shahadah entered into the heart? Most likely

not. Then now, what Allah (AJ) gives to us?
And when you see them, their appearance would

please you, and when they speak, you would listen 
carefully to their speech, like wooden blocks

propped against the wall. They assume every 
cry to be against them. They are the enemy,

so beware of them. May Allah (AJ) slay 
them. Where are they reverting.

Ah, ‘Welcome Habibi’. Very pleasing 
they look. They look like they have

everything. Look like Allah (AJ) favored 
them, gave them lots of money, lots of cars,

lots of things. They speak, mashAllah, they 
learn their language good. They speak sentences

and we say ‘SadaqAllahul ‘Azim’, they're just 
talking with each other news, it look like,

‘Is this from Qur'an’. ‘No, man, I was just 
talking about the news to this guy,’ because our

love for Prophet ﷺ and our reverence for Arabic, 
and shaitan destroys us by that, fools us by that.

So watch out for them. Their overall package 
pretty astonishing. They even have now shows on

TV about them and lifestyles in their countries. 
They have programs in which they want to develop

the entire region to be known for something. And 
Allah (AJ) is describing, but they don't have

faith in their heart. And as a result, Allah (AJ) 
said, ‘They are the enemy,’ and astaghfirullah for

how Allah (AJ) want to deal with His enemies. It's 
not for us, we're not political people. But what

Allah (AJ) is giving to us to understand, Prophet 
ﷺ is giving for us to understand – not everything

shiny is gold. You know, there's fake gold. And 
a fasiq (one who violates Islamic law) teacher

would turn around and say that we're the 
fake gold. The people whom love Prophet ﷺ,

who do too much salawat on Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, 
and you would dare to claim those are the people

whom Allah (AJ) is talking about? “Thumma amano, 
thumma kafaroo” is clearly identifying right now

people whom are against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ and 
the expression of their faith or un-expression

of their faith is very clear.
Their Islam is not in their heart,

and they don't mention Allah (AJ) often. 
They're not the people of zikr. And that

you may be impressed by some sort of 
package from them, but be careful,

it's just like a propped up piece of wood. And 
that Allah (AJ) describing, they are the enemy;

they are about to sell everything and 
everyone. Next verse, please.

And when it is said to them, 'Come, Allah's 
(AJ) Noble messenger may seek forgiveness

for you,' they turn heads away. And you 
will see them turning away in pride.

Oh, this is the big one. Anytime we put out 
a du'a (supplication), anytime we say majlis

(association) of salli alan Nabi ﷺ (praising 
upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) and they say, ‘You are

the people who make a shirk, and you ask others 
to pray for you when nobody can pray for you.’

These are kadhaab and liars; nobody can pray for 
you. What Allah (AJ) says in His Qur'an, because

they don't read the Qur'an. What again He said?
And when it is said to them, 'Come...

Come!
… Allah's (AJ) Noble

messenger, may seek forgiveness for you.'
Ah, ‘Come to Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ so that he,

Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, will pray forgiveness 
for you,’ Allah (AJ) is saying. Say,

‘I want to show you who the hypocrites 
are.’ Go to them right now, because the

Qur'an is alive it's not a story book of 
old, go to them now and say that, ‘Come,

Prophet ﷺ will pray for you.’ They're going to 
hit you, and they say, ‘How anybody dead is going

to pray for me?’ Oh, astaghfirullah you think 
Prophet ﷺ is not alive hadhir-o-nadhir (Present

and Aware)? And that he’s not aware? When Allah 
(AJ) the simple martyr is alive in their grave

and that Allah's (AJ) speech is only for this 
physical dunya and not for all of eternity in

the world of light? Wherever you are in whatever 
condition from the beginning of time to the end

of time Allah’s (AJ) command to you by this verse 
first: Don't be munafiq and ask Prophet ﷺ for your

forgiveness. Anyone not accepting the forgiveness 
and the ability to go to Prophet ﷺ to ask for

forgiveness is a munafiq, is a kafaroo; “Thumma 
amano, thumma kafaroo”. Now Allah (AJ) becomes

very clear: Go to them, test them because Allah 
(AJ) knows how much they have hate and respite,

they have a dislike for Prophet ﷺ, his holy family 
and holy companions. That says you want to squeeze

them, go ask them, that Prophet ﷺ will pray 
for you right now. ‘Ya akhi (brother) come,

come to majlis salli alan Nabi ﷺ.’ No doubt 
when we're making salawats (praises upon Prophet

Muhammad ﷺ), Prophet ﷺ must be present in 
our association. Ask for his forgiveness

that he take the du'a to Allah (AJ) through 
the intercession of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ

which is Ahlus Sunnah’s (People of Prophetic 
Tradition) belief. And Allah (AJ) says, ‘Never

will they do that. As a matter of fact, they 
turn their back to you’. And if you go to Madina,

they ask you to turn your back to Prophet ﷺ. When 
we were outside, we make du'a by the green Dome,

making na’at (prophetic praising), making salawat, 
they say, ‘Akhi turn your back,’ as if exactly

saying, ‘Oh, you're the people of that verse.’ 
Now I know you are, but you can't argue with them;

they have big, big problem behind them. Say, ‘Oh, 
okay,’ and just continue your du’a and ignore

them. What Allah (AJ) now gives us next line?
It is the same for them whether you seek

forgiveness for them or do not seek forgiveness 
for them, Allah (AJ) will never forgive them.

Uh-oh.
Indeed, Allah (AJ) does

not guide the sinning people.
Allah (AJ) will not forgive people who

come against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ because none 
of this was about coming against Allah (AJ). Do

you see how they think they have a command of 
Arabic and they tell us that this is about coming

against Allah (AJ)? No, munafiq is the one who 
came against Prophet ﷺ, because this is a love.

Allah's (AJ) love for Prophet is so immense. He's 
like, ‘Don't worry about they don't... they come

against Me; I'll deal with that differently. But 
if they come against you, I'm going to scare you

now with this surah of what I'm going to do to 
them, and those who love you who are the awliya,

I declare war on them.’ And all ‘ulama agree, 
there's nothing you can do for Allah (AJ) to

declare war against you except come against 
awliya, why? ‘If you come against My awliya,

I declare war against you’. Why? Because they're 
‘ashiqeen (lovers) of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ.

This is the love in which Allah (AJ) wants to 
show. ‘This is not about me; I'm not going to

punish people because of what they do for me, 
like me, disbelieve me, no, but My love for you

is so strong that when I asked you to go out and 
represent My reality, if they dare come against

you, these are all the things I'm going to do to 
them’. And infinite rahmah and mercy of Prophet

ﷺ was to ask for forgiveness for these people whom 
were causing problems. And Allah (AJ) was so tough

on that that, ‘You pray, you don't pray, you pray 
even 70 times, I will not accept it against them.’

Not against Himself that, ‘They did something 
wrong to Me’ and this seems to be a harsh Creator.

Nothing about that Allah (AJ) mentions, but 
‘They did to you wrong, but you're kind and you

will forgive them. I will never forgive them, 
even you forgive them; you're kind to them;

you let it to look peaceful, and they walk away, 
no problem,’ but your problem exists for all of

eternity with Allah (AJ). Next verse.
It is they who say, 'Do not spend upon

those who are with Allah's (AJ) noble 
messenger until they get distraught.'

‘Distraught.’ They go around and say, 'Don't 
support these people.' Why? Because they

love Prophet ﷺ. If they want to feed, they 
said, 'Don't give them money.' They want to

do Mawlid (celebration of the birthday of Prophet 
ﷺ), they said, 'Don't give them money.' They want

to collect zakat (charity) for their centers and 
masjids, and they say, 'Don't give them money.'

And Allah (AJ) is outlining, ‘These people have 
such a dislike for you that their people are going

around telling them: don't support Sayyidina 
Muhammad's ﷺ people until you can create a

distraught - you can put them in immense panic and 
in immense difficulty.’ And when we would do our

Milad in Vancouver, the supposable nice people, 
called people, called them and said, ‘Don't go to

their Milad; let it to be empty so they maybe will 
bankrupt them or lose their money’. Says, ‘Shaykh,

we're getting calls from them telling us not to 
come,’ and you say what kind of character would

do that? Now Allah (AJ) defines. When it comes to 
the love of Prophet ﷺ, we encourage everyone for

that love, we encourage everyone to run towards 
that love. How could there be a group of people

that their foundation is to call people, say, 
‘Don't go to their Milad?’ Why? So that you would

cause a financial difficulty for them. Then they 
would book a whole bunch of tables and not show up

so that the Milad would be disgraced because they 
took a whole section knowing they won't come when

it was free, but they plan, Allah (AJ) plans 
better. He said, ‘Don't make it free,’ charge

a fee because if they pay, they're going. So, 
what kind of... what kind of people do that? So,

this is not the shaykh’s talk. All of what we read 
tonight is from Holy Qur'an, Surah Munafiqeen. So,

they come against your finances. Why? They want to 
pull the rug under your feet, these shaitans. And

anyone who finds out that somebody's supporting 
these ‘ashiqeen and Muhammadiyoon, shaitan

releases the relatives after them. ‘Why you 
want to support these people? Why you want to

give money to them?’ Now, do you see what type of 
character this is. What type of shaitan is this,

when we just warned that Allah (AJ) is 
describing these are truly evil acts.

So, the evil one comes to these people to cause 
difficulty and harm for every project and every

donor we have. As soon as they find out, ‘Oh, 
you're supporting those lovers because they do

salawats and because they wear a holy turban like 
the green Dome that you visit in Madina.’ ‘Yeah,

yeah those people’. ‘Don't give them anything.’ 
Are you kidding me? Now, you know those who give,

how much Allah (AJ) loves you because you 
went through the whole barrier. It was

like Fear Factor. When we were growing up, we 
were watching Fear Factor. They put a lobster,

they put a cockroach, they put a alligator, 
they put a tiger, and everyone's trying to

run through all of these obstacles just to give 
their donation and support. From within their

families and outside their families everyone 
is attacking because Allah (AJ) describing

because that's the way of shaitan – to make 
people come against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. ‘Oh,

give to the other organization; they're going 
to do for Allah (AJ).’ No, Allah (AJ) said,

‘Don't do for Me. Do everything you do in the 
way of Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ.’ Munafiqeen is

not about Allah (AJ); kuffar are not about 
Allah (AJ). The kafireen are the ones whom

coming against Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, and this is 
the importance of what dajjal (man of deceit) is

planning with his Accord. We have no Abrahamic 
accord. Those who went astray, went astray;

those who angered Allah (AJ), look at what 
they're doing. We are Muhammadiyoon, and the

key and the miftah is the ishq (love) and muhabbat 
of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Next ayah (verse).

Continuing that verse: Whereas to Allah (AJ) only 
belongs the treasure of the heavens and the Earth

but the hypocrites do not have sense.
Uh, they think they're going to cancel you

out. ‘Oh, we're going to... we're going 
to do something; nobody going to come,

nobody going to come’. And Allah (AJ) send 
one of His servants that says, ‘Shaykh don't

worry about anything on the Mawlid, I covered the 
whole thing.’ Nobody stopping Allah's (AJ) love

for Prophet ﷺ, even they thought in their 
lives they would kick us out of something.

A person came and hosted us, thought he would 
kick us out, and Allah (AJ) sent servants,

said, 'What kick out? I'm going to put you in 
a home, and here's your money for your home.'

There's nobody coming against Allah's (AJ) plans; 
it's only lost opportunities for people. You will

never derail that train of La ilaha illAllah 
Muhammadun Rasulallah ﷺ; these ‘ashiqeen their

trains are not ever derailed. You only lose 
the opportunity to be a part of it. You become

a passenger that get kicked out. You never stop 
the train, you just got thrown off the train. So,

nobody stops Allah (AJ) because to Allah 
(AJ) belongs the treasures. Says, ‘Don't

worry about it. I was trying to give a blessing 
for this person to help you; they don't want the

blessings. I'll have them lined up for you. Don't 
worry’. Nobody comes in difficulty. Next verse.

They say, ‘If we return to Madina, then indeed, 
the honorable group will soon expel the lowly

one,’ whereas all honor belongs to Allah (AJ) 
and His noble messenger and to the Muslims

but the Hypocrites do not know.
Yeah, the word for Honor actually

is ‘izzah (Might) that they're using the 
word honor, but they thought if they would

bring down the reality of Prophet ﷺ, they would 
gain ‘izzah and might, and Allah (AJ) says ‘to

Allah (AJ) belongs the ‘izzah.’ “‘Izzatullahi 
wa ‘izzatur Rasul wa ‘izzatul mumineen”.

Never will they have the power. No matter how 
much they think that they're going to decrease

the significance of Prophet ﷺ, thinking they 
will get the power from Allah (AJ), … think

these people are crazy. They have nothing. 
Not only have nothing, they gain the anger of

Allah (AJ). Right? You want to build Mukabah, why? 
Competing with something. You want people to come

to visit you; their mazhab (school of thought) 
is against Prophet ﷺ, the propagation against

the reality of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ, hoping 
they will have power with Allah (AJ), but to

Allah (AJ) belongs the power. And ‘Izzatullah 
(Allah’s (AJ) Might and Magnificence), ‘izzatur

Rasul (honour of the messenger), wa ‘izzatul 
mumineen (honour of the believers). So, this

was about power and honor, and that people 
would grant them and bow down to them.

No, but the honor and the sultanate always remain 
with Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. Never will anybody bow

down to them. Next verse, please.
Oh people who believe, may not your

wealth or your children cause you to neglect the 
remembrance of Allah (AJ). And whoever does this,

so it is they who are in a loss.
Yeah, Hajji Shahid let's read that

in Arabic, inshaAllah. What verse number? 
So, Surah Munafiqeen this how we came back;

remember we said about the qulob (heart), their 
shahadah never entered into their heart. Now

Allah (AJ) is going to clarify exactly why.
“A’uzu Billahi Minash shaitanir Rajeem Bismillahir

Rahmanir Raheem. Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo la 
tulhikum amwaalukum wa laa awlaadukum 'anzikril

laah; wa mai-yaf'al zaalika fa-ulaaa'ika 
humul khaasiroon.” SadaqAllahul ‘Azim.

Don't think that entertaining your family, your 
children, you think what your obligations are.

Never make an excuse for the remembrance of Allah 
(AJ). ‘I don't have time, I don’t... this is not

my way, and I take care of my family. This is what 
Allah (AJ) wants from me.’ And Allah (AJ) says,

‘Never, never leave the way of zikrullah,’ because 
leaving the way of zikrullah means then the evil

one has influenced you because he doesn't like 
to mention Allah (AJ). So, neither family,

anything related to our homes, nothing stops us 
from the remembrance of Allah (AJ). Why? Because

we don't want to be a munafiq that Allah 
(AJ) described in all the previous verses,

that Islam only went to their tongue and not to 
their hearts. And as a result, they don't make

zikr, and they keep giving excuses that, ‘It's a 
family thing, I have to spend time with my family;

I'm not going to have time to do this zikr, to 
come to this majlis, to do this or to do that.’

Allah (AJ) said, ‘Nothing more important in your 
life to make your zikrullah,’ which was what? Make

your durood (praising on Prophet Muhammad ﷺ), 
and salawats and all the things and the awrads

(daily practices) and zikrs that have been given 
to you. Because those same people say, 'Why you

have all these etiquettes and things to recite?' 
Because we're Ahle Zikr. When Allah (AJ) said,

'Who cares about your family, wife, and children? 
You won't feed them, and you won't protect them if

you're not making your zikr.’ Because who's the 
one who's protecting them? Allah (AJ). Who's the

one feeding them? Allah (AJ). ‘Remember 
Me, thank Me; I give you more.'

So, this is a whole system of our survival. But 
the evil one comes into our life and make us to

mess up everything. Soon as you forget Allah (AJ), 
Allah (AJ) forgets you; your rizq (sustenance) is

cut. And then you have to go to all different 
types of places. You know the big boys did that;

that's why they go to a IMF for money. The big 
boys, they forgot Allah (AJ). What happened?

Allah (AJ) cut their purse. Now they go to a 
satanic purse. Says, 'Oh, you want money from

us?’ Yeah, it's like going to Don Corleone. Say, 
'You want money? No problem; your interest is 10%

daily. Sign off all the minerals of your country, 
please.' You sold your home as if selling your

wife and children to take $10 from somebody. Who 
would do that? Is this a Muslim would do this? Was

this in Islam? Even allowed in Islam, to sell the 
assets of your home and your treasures? And those

same people want to lecture us on riba (usury) 
when their own house and finances are not done

correctly. They want to tell you how to run your 
bank and your home when their own home is no good,

look. That the immense danger of people 
operating in this fashion. If they left

Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ) left them; those whom 
remember Allah (AJ), Allah (AJ) remembers them;

those whom love Prophet ﷺ, Allah (AJ) 
loves them. What do we have left?

And spend from what we have provided you before 
death approaches any one of you, and he then says,

'My Lord, why did You not give me respite for a 
little while, so I would have given charity and

become of the virtuous?'
Alhamdulillah.
