In order to magnify and augment his light to deepen our faith. أمام الرزادي رحم الله if you read his autobiography أد منذ الدلال The Deliverer from Error is that he describes how he had a phase in his life where he was afflicted with a type of radical skepticism. A type of radical skepticism that today is sort of رحم الله ورحمه الله ورحمه الله is that he has he says there's no way really to describe it except that Allah cast a light into my heart الله cast a light into my heart and he had clarity of first principles clarity of how we learn and therefore clarity of the implications of our knowledge when we learn of the world when we examine the world reflect on the world we cannot help but rationally arrive at the necessary existence of Allah and that he later in his book he says that the true way of cultivating and augmenting this light is to practice the sunnah of the Prophet rational arguments have their place and we have to have scholars that are able to articulate the demonstrations of the verities of faith and the principles the tenets of our but the true way for the believer to personally realize the reality of لا إله إب الله محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم is to simply start and says that there will be a vote the person will start to taste the reality of the person will start to see and sense and recognize the خونس of our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in a way that arguments can't really express even though arguments can point us towards truth they cannot really and allow us to enter into the palace of light and truth and so if we even reflect on the دواز of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم we will see نبوة the دواز of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are in a way you know loudly proclaiming his true prophethood is the way he knew Allah and the way he expressed his knowledge of Allah and his devotion of Allah through his very simplification صلى الله عليه وسلم one cannot read the Hadith of the different of God and an important book that all of us should have in our libraries particularly for our young ones but for the elders all of us alike is كتاب الأثقار of Imam النووي رحم الله the book of Remembrances which has now been translated into English this is highly recommended reading and if we read these forms of سفلكation of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the different ways he made remembrance of Allah as well as it's obvious and self-evident that his trueness as a Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم let alone if we study the Quran and the Hadith generally but if we reflect on for example one of his Imam النووي says if you look at the different دواز of opening the prayer and you combine them take the different narrations he mentions one lengthy one he says that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would often be again with الله أكبر كبيرة والحمد لله كثيرة والسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلة واجحت وجهية للذي فترة السماوات والأرض حنيفا مسلما وما أنا من مشركين إن صلاتي ونسكي ومحياية وممات لله رب العالمين لا شريك له وبذلك أمرت وأنا من المسلمين اللهم أنتا الملك لا إله إلا أنت رب وأنا عبدك غرمت نفسي واعترفت بذنبي فنفرني الظنوب جميعا فإن له لا يغفر الظنوب إلا أنت واهدني لأحسن أخضاء فإنه لا يهدي لأحسنها إلا أنت وأسرف عني سيئها فإنه لا يسرف عني سيئها إلا أنت لبيك وسعدك وانخير كله في يديك والشده ليس إليك أنا بك وإليك تباركت وتعاليت أستغفرك واتبو إليك سبحان الله صلى الله عليه وسلم this is light emanating from our blessed prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم even if someone doesn't understand the meanings one can sense the beauty and the light of these prophetic words literally prophetic words but these are vehicles expressing the light of his blessed heart صلى الله عليه وسلم something of that unimaginable light صلى الله عليه وسلم as we know Allah Taara says وكتاب المبين there has come to you from Allah a great light and a clear book the clear book is the Quran what is this great light the indefinite expresses something that cannot be contained it's as if it's you know you can't you can't even contain it so it's so it's and indefinite indefinite for something tremendous and magnificent like that it's hard to limit نورا إمام القرطبي إمام الطبري إمام السيوتي إمام فقرين الرازي إمام البغوي all these great mufasidi and exegesis of the Quran they say نورها سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is our prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and so something of this light being expressed in the vehicles of these prophetic words what does he say صلى الله عليه وسلم beginning the prayer الله أكبر كبيره الله is greater مميشيساً لن يفكره كبيره again indefinite كبيره كبيره that whatever might occur to our minds Allah is superior whatever we might think of how we understand Allah Allah is still far greater whatever the human beings might ascertain of divinity Allah far transcends the azawajan Allah is always greater whatever blessings we find in our life Allah is greater whatever difficulties and hardships we might be facing right now Allah is greater Allah is greater in other words behind the yakun is the kun behind the occurrence in our life is the kun the ontological statement of existentiation and so the one who created it is the one that can solve it الله أكبر كبيره و الحمد لله كثيره and therefore pletiful الحمد لله الحمد لله this sublime phrase that every single praise belongs to Allah every single glory belongs to Allah every single greatness belongs to Allah and Allah alone it belongs to him and he alone deserves it as the wajan he alone deserves it as the wajan what is the name Allah the name Allah is anamun that wajib الوجود المستحب لجميع المحارد is that the name Allah is the proper name that refers to the necessarily existent azawajan who deserves every single praise الحمد لله all of the fatihah can be made in the first verse الحمد لله the prophet said الحمد لله صلى الله عليه وسلم أفضل ذكر لله إله إلا الله the best remembrance is و أفضل الدعاء الحمد لله and the best application is الحمد لله and so الحمد لله كثيرة the prophet look at the difficulties he faced very six of his seven children صلى الله عليه وسلم driven out of his beloved home for no wrong committed but every right that he gave them every light that he brought driven out of his beloved the home that was beloved to him صلى الله عليه وسلم trial after trial tribulation after tribulation the ten years of persecution in Makkah seeing his blessed companions being persecuted and killed again for bringing light and monotheism to a place plagued with idolatry two years two and a half years of sanctions due to which not only the difficulty of those sanctions the trauma of hunger sustained hunger for so long but due to which his beloved wife خليجة I love you please with her passes away and the uncle that he loves so much Abu Talib passes away and then episode after episode of the seerah the entire time what's the state of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the very opening of the prayer before the Fatiha that has it الحمد لله و الحمد لله كثيرة and plentiful plentiful thanks to Allah سبحان الله a true prophet صادق مسدوق صلى الله عليه وسلم it's clear and evident read the seerah and ask yourself at every event how could an imposter act this way how could an imposter act this way only a true prophet could act this way صلى الله عليه وسلم and our young people need to read the seerah critically and with reflection and deliberation so that they have the conviction in their own hearts don't wish you know تقليد in أقيدة is blame worthy our belief is not based on the belief of our family the belief of our uncles the belief of our culture no our belief the belief of every individual believer is based on their own individual conviction and so we have to come to recognize the trueness of لا إله إله إله محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم and we need to cultivate communities and Mashallah this is one of the our blessed communities that facilitates again augmenting this light and augmenting the certitude that we have in these eternal verities of faith but الحمد لله كثيرا وصبحان الله بكرة تنمأسينا and how glorious is Allah morning and evening and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم giving us medicine for the mornings and evenings all the different asqar in the morning and the evening رضيت بالله ربا وفي الإسلام الدينة وفي محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم نبي ورسولا I'm content with Allah as my Lord and with Islam as my religion and with سيدنا محمد as my prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم بسم الله الذي لا يدروم مع اسمي شايمون في القرلي ونأف السماء وهو السمي وردين with the name of Allah the one that with his name nothing in the heaven or earth can harm and he is all hearing and all knowing عود بكلمات الله تعمى تبن شريما خلق I see refuge in the كلمات الله تامى these perfect words of God these complete and perfect words of God from the evil that he has created in other words when we are met with harm in the world we go to the perfect words of Allah as a protection from that harm what are the perfect words of Allah one تفسير is the كتاب of Allah القرآن كنام الله the speech of Allah as the wajam this is one meaning so we return to the Quran which is شفاء which is a healing when we face tribulation another meaning according to some scholars is the كن behind the yakun because it's by the ontic statement of Allah كن that the occurrence happened in the first place and so if we instead of stopping at the occurrence that might be that the tribulation that unfolds in our life we seek refuge in the existentiation of that occurrence in other words recognizing it's the statement of كن behind it and so going to the Creator seeking protection from the harm of the creation أعوذ بكلمات night these are perfect words of Allah the كن because every kun is a manifestation of one of the names of Allah every kun is a manifestation of one of the names of Allah and so by going to the named when we see a manifestation of one of his names as the wajam سبحان الله بكرة تنمأ أسيدة the prophetic medicine in the morning and the evening they all allow our hearts to sing سبحان الله how glorious is Allah how marvelous is the divine as the wajam and you can see وجهة وجهة you know I devote my entire being the waj which is the countenance refers to the being itself and so we devote our beings to the capital B being the pure being of Allah that is Allah the eternal القديم عز وجن وجهة وجهة للندي فطرة السماوات the one that created the heavens and earth in the schools today this this splitting of the creative act of the heavens and earth is called the big bang but we have to ask what caused the big bang because every occurrence necessarily has a cause this is the causal principle this is ان دروري it's a necessary axiomatic fact it's a first principle that every occurrence must have a cause and all of science is based on ascertaining causes and so ironic for scientists to always seek the cause of things except when they get to the first thing and they say well we'll stop there this isn't it what's the cause of the what's called the big bang كون فا يكون it's only the necessarily existent can rationally explain the possibly existent only the eternally existent can rationally explain the temporally existent only Allah عز وجن can be the rational explanation of the cone العقوان ثابتة تور في اجباته these are established principles of our metaphysics ابن عطالة says العقوان ثابتة تور في اثباته the created order the universe all the realms of the created order however many universes are out there العقوان ثابتة تور they are real بإثباته because he has actualized them عز وجن he has actualized them عز وجن and so واجهة واجهة doesn't it makes sense then to devote ourselves to our creator and sustainer because it wasn't just a big bang but every moment Allah is sustaining us at every moment Allah is sustaining us عز وجن at any one moment if you go back to what's what's the cause of this and what's the cause of this even in one moment it can't be an infinite regress it has to end somewhere where does it end and necessarily existent so whether we go back in time or in one frame of time upwards in the series of causes it has to end at the necessarily existent عز وجن كن فيا كن سبحان الله and so doesn't it أنا مع عليك أولا بالإيجاد وثانيا بتوالي الإمداد he blessed you first by existentialing you by giving you existence in the first place there was a time where we didn't exist and now we exist الحمد لله but then each moment وثانيا بتوالي الإمداد and then secondarily subsequently by continuously maintaining our existence in and of ourselves we can't last الله تعالى apprises all of humanity of this يا إيه الناس أنتم الفقراء إلى الله clear explicit in the Qur'an oh people oh humanity يا إيه الناس أنتم الفقراء إلى الله all of you are in need of Allah وغام الوضعين والحمد but Allah alone is the one without need and therefore deserving of all praise الحمد لله كثيرا سبحان الله بكرة ومأسيلة واجهة واجهة للذي فترة السماوات واجهة واجهة I devote my entire being to the one that cleaved open and existentiated the heavens and the earth حنيفا always inclining back to him مسلما as a Muslim as a follower of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم وما أنا من مشركين and I would not fall into ascribing power to other than Allah I will not fall into ascribing power to other than Allah إنّا سلاتي my prayer ونسوكي my the religious rights all of the religious rights ومحياية ومماتي my very life and my very death لله رب العالم they belong to therefore Allah the lord and sustainer of the universe again وثاني رب العالم إنّا سلاتي ونسوكي ومحياية ومماتي لله رب العالم لا شريك لأ no one co-shares with Allah in his eternality in his power in his omnipotence in his decision إنّا سلاتي ونسوكي ومحياية ومماتي لله رب العالم لا شريك لأ و أنا من المسلمين and I am amongst the Muslims I am in the ummah of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم اللهم أنت الملك oh Allah you are the king لا إله إلا أنت there is no deity but you أنت ربي وانا عبد you are my lord and I am your servant if you give me blessings الحمد لله it's your right because I'm a servant if you test me today الحمد لله it's your right because I'm your servant but I turned to you begging for relief I turned to you begging for I turned to you begging for I turned to you begging for I turned to you begging for well-being but I recognize your it's your lordship and I have every right أنت ربي وانا عبد the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم whatever happened to him in the blessed seerah أنت ربي وانا عبد ظلمت نفسي I've wronged myself وعترفت بذنبي and I admit my sin I admit my wrong he's teaching us to make toba صلى الله عليه وسلم فالفلي ذنوبي جميعا and so forgive all of my sins فلا ينفذ ذنوبي إلا أنت أقولوا قولي هذا وأستغفروا بهني وركم فاستغفروا الله إن الله سبحانه وتعالى تقولوا الحين الحمد لله رب العالمين وسلمهم رسينا محمد النبي رب العالي وصحبي وسلم and so making toba to Allah وحدني وحدني and then asking Allah for help to do good guide me to the most beautiful of virtues because no one can guide me to beautiful virtues except you وصف عني سيئها and turn away from me from turn away from me wrong vices wrongs because no one can turn diseases at the heart away from me except for you لبك وسعديك ever returning at your service أو الله ever returning to support you أو الله to support your religion أو الله to support the Sunnah of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم أو الله لبك وسعديك والخير كله في يديك والشبه ليس يديك يعني every good is in your possession every single good is in the possession of Allah but evil does not return to him where does evil return to the human agent the human orgin moral agent that chose to do wrong that chose to relinquish the gift of free will into something foul and vile any good belongs to Allah but evil does not return to him والشدول ليس يديك تبارك تبارك أنا بك ويديك I am through you and to you the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I am expressing all of metaphysics in this shortest of statements this is his Nubwa أنا بك ويديك I am through you and to you because he is maintaining us at every moment الله and who do we return to at every moment and in the final of all الله تبارك تبارك how full of barakah how much blessing is with you oh Allah and how glorious sublime تبارك تبارك I turn to you in forgiveness توبة is the sign that Allah loves the servant and so we ask Allah to make us people of Toba to make us people who turn to him in these prophetic meanings the deepest meanings that express our metaphysics that express our ethics that express our creed that express the reality something of the reality of the prophetic light صلى الله عليه وسلم we ask Allah to fill our hearts with this light we ask Allah to make us people of sincerity of taqwa and Toba we ask Allah to make us people of deep rooted conviction that when we read the Kitab and the Sunnah we can recognize the Chunis of Allah إله إلا الله وحمد رسول الله and that light shines out to all the people around us الله مهن نسرك العخرة عافية والمعافات والمعافات في الدنيا والآخرة ربنا أتينا مددون في رحمة الوحيد أننا من أمرنا رشدة الله مهن نسرك التوفي والإخلاص والدوام ونعمة وحسن خطام إن الله وملاهكة هو يصدون عالهم يبي يا أيها الذين عالهم رسلوا عليه وباركة لسيفنا محمد النبي من وعلى آهري وصحبي وسلم الحمد لله رب العالم وأعطي مصدر
