 Even though it's getting late, Alhamdulillah, there is no place that we would rather be. And as we have heard in everything that has been said, these are gatherings that nourish us at the very, very, very depth of our being. These are gatherings that will be a means for a Muhammadan breeze to come when we most need it. We were listening recently to that a post that will come out soon inshaAllah ta'ala about one of our teachers telling a story about an individual who was having difficulty in his deen and made an intention to actually renounce his religion. But then at night he had become accustomed to sending salawat upon our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And he decided to still do those salawat and he started to then wrestle internally. There was a wrestling match between his heart and his mind. And he said that if I'm going to renounce my religion, that means that the Prophet Muhammad is not telling the truth. And he says that is impossible. And it was remembering the Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In that moment and reflecting upon him in knowing with absolute conviction that he is true and that he tells the truth and everything that he brought is true and everything that he informed us about is true is what saved this individual. And this is what happens when we're in times of most need and the most subtle of ways that you can never possibly imagine. There is no possible way to put a price on gatherings of remembrance, on these moments of purity. These are what are going to really, really matter when we really, really need it. And as we've heard, is that even though we're only a few people here from different places this beautiful cornucopia of beauty, which is ultimately a sign from Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala we should make the intention to be here on behalf of our people or other people that live in these lands that don't have the ability to be here. And in each intention that we make to be here for our people there will be a channel that opens up for them to be able to receive. And that this is what we hope is that these lands become fertile for the sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ. Make the intention when you hear the mode and you're saying Marhaban, Marhaban Ya Noor Aayni, and you're welcoming the light of your eyes without him we would be blind ﷺ. He is truly the light of our eyes outwardly and of our essence and our entire being. Salawatul Rabbi wa salamu alayhi. Make the intention to welcome the Messenger to these lands on behalf of our people. Make the intention to host him in these lands. Metaphorically speaking through the coming of his teachings. The way that Sayyidina Abu Ayyubin Ansari hosted him ﷺ when he reached Medina. Make the intention to serve anyway in the beautiful poem we heard last night is that to welcome those who are like those blessed little girls did and to serve even if it be holding the saddle bag whatever it might be. This is true. This is true honor. Everything in creation wishes to serve the Prophet ﷺ. And in these beautiful lines of poetry that Sheikh Yusuf and Nabeh Hani said when he was speaking about the sandals of the little school which we wear on our head. Because ultimately is that those blessed sandals ascended above the seven heavens araratsi had al-kawna al-muhammadan alat fa jamia al-khalqi ta hadad ilalihi is that he ascended ﷺ above the seven heavens and he was wearing his blessed sandals and all of creation was beneath him in a real way. That Moses in the sacred valley of Tua was asked to take off his two sandals. That Moses in the sacred valley of Tua was asked to take off his two sandals. You are in the sacred valley of Tua. What our Prophet in the station of proximity was not asked to take off his two sandals. And there is deep, deep, deep spiritual significance in that. The maqam of Sayyidina Musa is great but no one was as close to the Lord of the heavens and the earth like our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. And then he goes on to say that Mitha'alin that this image that he himself that created of how the sandal actually looks this was an honor for him to serve it that he goes on to say is that the tijan of the mauluqi hawasidu is that tamannam maqam al-Qurbi minhu al-Faraqidu is that the stars wished that they could be like the dust underneath these blessed sandals of our Prophet ﷺ and the crowns of kings were envious. They wished they could as well. They realized that one of the masters of all of these adab was Sheikh Yusuf al-Nabahani. He was someone that mastered Abdu'l. And Abdu'n li'Abdihi wa li'Abdu'l abdi'Abdu'n kalabirin tihai I am a servant to this servant, to this servant, to this servant, servant and thus without any end. This is the way these people are. They realize the Sharafah of the Risala the honor that the message that our Prophet ﷺ but the secret to all of this is opening up your light your heart to the light of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ whereby wish that you have a deep, profound, intimate connection with him ﷺ and you start to recognize that he is the Sirat al-Mustaqeem he is the straight path and he is, ﷺ, the Erwat al-Wuthqa when everything else fails and you become confused and even for people that may Allah protect all of us, no children, progeny to Yom Kiyama ever to even have doubt in their religion the way back is in reflecting upon our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and that he is that al-Wuthqa that will never ever break our faith in him and our belief that what he brought was true ﷺ and when that comes into the heart then you start to have people of substance you start to have people that then have something to offer you have people that will then that be drawn to that light and if there was people that used to see light on certain ancestors of the Prophet ﷺ's foreheads because of him being in the loins anything that is connected to that light will draw people and this is even reflected in his Blessed Father Sayyidina Abdullah what about then when we open up the light that of his teachings that come into our heart people will recognize that and they will realize that this is something that we all need and this is what we come together for with big intentions not because of anything that we have but because we know the generosity of our Lord we know the generosity of our Lord it exceeds anything that we can possibly ask him for Subhanahu wa ta'ala but we are taught to place our expectations and make them high and his bounty and in his Fadal not in our acts and that our hope is by him giving his tawfiq to just do that is that there will be that a divine outpour from his blessings upon us not just for us but we hope that it extends to our family members and our loved ones and our friends and our neighbors and other people that are around us and then this will translate into in a very real way each and every single one of us insha'Allah living up to our Adamic potential in sharing the blessings of this faith with the people that are around us nothing is more important and nothing brings more happiness to the heart of the Rasul sallallahu alayhi wa sallam than serving his blessed deen embodying those realities and then serving the deen day in and day out with every single interaction every single person that is that you meet praying for people having good character when you see people living up to what our Prophet taught us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam this is what we want so that when we come to him is that this is what we want him to do and in closing this is what the Prophet did at the very end of the life of the Sahaba after he nurtured them and looked after them and trained them and taught them and raised them in his blessed beautiful way sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and they became who they became the best people of all after that the Prophet and messengers no one was like the Sahaba they were the very best hearts of all on earth and they were the ones chosen by Muhammad and in that blessed Hadith and Sahih Bukhari when Sayyidina Abu Bakr Sadiq is leading the prayer and you can imagine the companions in that blessed Meshid were all praying in the khushur and the reverential awe that could be seen on the limbs in their stillness and the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam pulls back the curtain and some of them almost broke their prayer because they were so excited that they thought the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and they felt again that he was going to come back and pray with him and one of them noticed that the Prophet was smiling when he pulled back that curtain he was smiling and think about the profundity of meanings behind his smile Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and it had been revealed before that I have perfected your religion for you I have completed my blessing on you I have Islam as your religion that had already been revealed this was very very late this was just before he passed but that smile indicated as that our Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ballagh al-amana is that he had conveyed the trust wa nasah al-umma and that he had advised his blessed ummah and they had bodied those realities and that smile indicated now that he had fulfilled his mission if he came to pray and saw the people entering in the religion of Allah and said that he had conveyed the mission and that those verses indicated that he was going to return to Allah soon because he wasn't meant to be here forever on earth this world is not worthy of that but when you attach your heart to these meanings it makes it easier to get by and to be patient with whatever is afflicting us all of the difficulties that we are going through this is the nature of dunya but one of the greatest things of all that can get you through is when the love of Sayyidina Muhammad is unlocked in your heart and you start to remove this rust so it starts to flow and then it starts to fill you up and then you become detached because you realize you can't remain in the world and ultimately be with your Beloved you might see him from time to time here in this world it's possible to see him so in life and we've heard that but you can't really meet with him in the truest meaning of the word meeting until you return to Allah and this is what helps us get through and this is what we all hope for is that Allah bless us in moments like this that there be tazawut and that we receive provision that helps us at that time when we need it most to get through this world and to remain firm and to bless us to be able to meet our Lord in a way that is pleasing to him and then when we encounter Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that we encounter him and he be smiling and he welcome us and he be happy to see us those brothers that he spoke about that he loved and he longed for those people that have sacrificed anything to have been with him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam may we be among them and may we be from the elect of them and may we spend our lives in doing what is most pleasing to him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and to be mean for bringing life to the Deen of Sayyidina Muhammad and the Sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad and all of the intention and all of the individual teachings and the Deen of Sayyidina Muhammad may Allah ta'ala give us tawfiq and bless us in all of our affairs and insha'Allah ta'ala protect and preserve us all until the day we meet him may the very last thing that we say we exit this world completely actualize its meanings inwardly and outwardly Alhamdulillah
