 Alhamdulillah wa shukrillah just as some points of reflection for myself, inshallah, that wanted to share that inshallah, through these gatherings, when we hear the remembrance of Allah swt, the remembrance of the Prophet Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that we should inculcate in our hearts a deep desire to return to Allah in all of our affairs, and then to keep Allah swt first and foremost in all of our affairs, and that our consciousness should be directed to Allah swt first and foremost in all of our affairs, that one of the third century masters of Baghdad, Amr ibn Uthman al-Maki, Rahimullah, he says there are three things that are from the signs of the people that Allah loves, to return to Allah swt in every circumstance, and to be indigent and in need of Allah swt in every circumstance, and to be confident and have a good opinion in Allah swt in every single circumstance, and so that if we realize these realities of turning to Allah in a state of need and a state of trust and confidence in him, then inshallah we'll start to witness his Lordship, we'll start to witness Allah swt's Lordship, which is one of the blessings even of trials, the difficulties that we face in our lives, there are opportunities to see Allah's power, to see Allah's Lordship, and we do not ask for difficulties, but we realize during those difficulties that Allah Ta'ala is our Rab and we are the abd, and that one of our masters says al-Rubudiyah, shuhud al-Rubububiyah, he says that your slave unto Allah is to actually witness his Lordship, that our slave unto Allah swt is to witness his Lordship, not just to realize it but to see it, see the magnitude and the power of Allah swt, and that this inshallah is a way for us to approximate ikhlas, we can approximate sincerity to Allah swt through realizing his Lordship in all of our life circumstances, and that if we can become people of ikhlas and we can continue to cultivate that ikhlas inshallah day in and day out, then we might fall under the category of those people that are of perpetual ikhlas, and in that light one of the tabi'in Makhrul Rahim Allah, he says, ma akhlasa abdun arba'ayina yawman illa gharat yunabi wa hikmati min qalbihi ala lisani, he says that no servant is sincere and genuine with Allah swt, realizing Allah's Lordship for 40 days straight, except that wisdom, springs of wisdom will gush forth from his heart upon his tongue, except springs of wisdom will gush forth from his heart upon his tongue, and then when that happens the person becomes a person of zikr, and then when they become a person of zikr, then they've been granted the proclamation of sainthood, as Aba Ali of the Qaq says, adhikru manshurul wilayah, he says, remembrance of Allah swt is a proclamation that Allah loves you, from manwufiq aladhikri fa qadruqtir manshur, whoever is granted towfiq to make remembrance of Allah swt, then they've been granted the proclamation asserting that they are friends of Allah swt, and mansuri ba dhikr fa qadruqtir, but whoever a dhikr is removed from, then they have been demoted and removed from that station, and so that people, to be people of dhikr of Allah swt, and this is on that light, our Prophet swt, in the hadith Qutzi that Allah swt himself says, I am the abdibi, that I am in the opinion of my servant, of me, wa anama'u wu'idah the Karuni, and I am with him when he makes remembrance of me, I am with him when he makes remembrance of me, and there are some people in this community that they make dhikr just for this ma'iyah, they make remembrance of Allah swt just to have the witness of Allah swt, and that this is the illumination that is in their hearts, this is illumination in their hearts, and that as we become people of dhikr of Allah swt, then the light will grow in our hearts, and this is something that we live in a time that does not know light, we live in a time that all it knows is the material element of the world, and it does not realize the spiritual reality of human beings, but if we can become people of remembrance of Allah swt, returning to him in all of our circumstances, then we will start to reflect something of light that not only for ourselves but others can see, that ma'min nurin phil qalb illa wa ma'uhu rahmatu min Allahi ta'ala bi qadri, dalik, hakeemah tell me that he says there's never a light in the heart, except that with that light is a mercy from Allah swt commensurate to that light. Ma'damil abdu fiddhikr, so so long as a servant is making remembrance of Allah swt, far rahmatu naziratun alehi kal matar, then mercy is descending upon that servant like rain, but when he is unaware of Allah swt, then he is in a state of a drought, when he is unaware and needless of Allah swt, then he is in a real drought. And so these types of gatherings that we can experience the remembrance of Allah swt, we can, the group digger especially when there's a powerful angelic presence, inshallah we should make a deep intention to leave these gatherings as people of remembrance of Allah swt, and as people of this illumination, and as people of this ikhlas, and as people of this turning to Allah in every circumstance. And so inshallah we ask Allah to accept from us, wa sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, wa l-hamdu lillahi rabbil alaikum.
