[0:13]part one bondage the roots of conduct have four aspects conduct with

[0:20]Allah conduct with the self conduct with creation meaning people and conduct

[0:25]with this world each of these aspects is based upon seven principles

[0:29]just as there are seven principles of conduct with Allah giving him

[0:34]his due keeping his limits being thankful for his gift being content

[0:41]with his decree being patient with his trials glorifying his sanctity and

[0:46]yearning for him the seven principles of conduct with the self are

[0:51]fear striving enduring harm spiritual discipline seeking truthfulness and sincerity withdrawing the

[0:58]self from what it loves and binding it in poverty the seven

[1:05]principles of conduct with creation are forbearance forgiveness humility generosity compassion Good

[1:14]Counsel Justice and fairness the seven principles of conduct with this world

[1:19]are being content with what is at hand preferring what is available

[1:23]to what is not abandoning the Quest for the elusive hating overabundance

[1:29]choosing abstinence knowing the evils of this world and abandoning any desire

[1:34]for it and negating its dominance when all these qualities are found

[1:39]in one person he's then one of Allah's Elite one of his

[1:43]close bondsmen and Friends aah more on bondage bondage is an Essence

[1:50]the inner nature of which is lordship rubia whatever is missing in

[1:55]bondage is found in lordship and whatever is veiled from lordship is

[1:58]found in bondage as Allah said we will soon show them our

[2:03]signs in the universe and in their own Souls until it will

[2:06]become clear to them that it is the truth is it not

[2:11]sufficient as regards to your Lord that he is a witness over

[2:14]all things this means he exists both in your absence and in

[2:19]your presence bondage means ridding oneself of everything and the way to

[2:24]obtain this is to deny the self what it desires and to

[2:25]make it bear what it dislikes the key to this is abandoning

[2:32]rest loving seclusion and following the path of recognition of the need

[2:37]for Allah the holy prophet sallallah Al said worship Allah as if

[2:41]you see him even if you do not see him he sees

[2:46]you the letters of the Arabic word for bondsmen AB are three

[2:51]and the is one's knowledge of Allah the ba is one's distance

[3:00]bound from the other than him and the D is one's nearness

[3:03]to Allah with the Restriction of neither contingent qualities nor Veil the

[3:09]principles of conduct have four aspects as we mentioned at the beginning

[3:13]of the first chapter on lowering the Gaze there is nothing more

[3:16]gainful than lowering one's gaze for the sight is not lowered from

[3:20]things which Allah has forbidden unless the witnessing of majesty and Glory

[3:27]has already come to the heart the commander of the faithful Alam

[3:30]was asked what could help in lowering one's gaze he said submission

[3:34]to the power of him who was aware of your secret the

[3:39]eye is the Spy of the hearts and the messenger of the

[3:42]intellect therefore lower your gaze from whatever is not appropriate to your

[3:46]faith from whatever your heart dislikes and from whatever your intellect finds

[3:51]repugnant the holy prophet sallallah said lower your eyes and you will

[3:57]see wonders Allah said say to to the believing men that they

[4:02]cast down their looks and guard their private parts isaam said to

[4:08]his disciples be aware of looking at forbidden things for that is

[4:12]the seed of desire and leads to deviant Behavior y said I

[4:18]would prefer death to a glance which is unnecessary Abdullah Bin Mas

[4:23]said to a man who had visited a woman while she was

[4:26]Ill it would have been better for you to lose your eyes

[4:30]than to have visited your sick person whenever the eye looks at

[4:34]something forbidden a knot of Desire is tied in the person's heart

[4:37]and that knot will only be untied by one of two conditions

[4:42]either by weeping out of grief and regret and true repentance or

[4:46]by taking possession of what one desired and looked at and if

[4:51]a person takes possession unjustly without repentance then that will take him

[4:57]to the fire as for the one who repents of it with

[4:59]grief and regret his Abode is the garden and his Destiny is

[5:05]Allah's favor on walking if you're intelligent then you should be a

[5:08]firm resolution and sincere intention before you set out for any place

[5:12]for surely the self's nature is to overstep the bounds and encroach

[5:16]on the Forbidden you should reflect when you walk and take note

[5:21]of the wonders of Allah's work wherever you go do not be

[5:23]mocking or strut when you walk Allah said do not go about

[5:29]in the land exalting over much lower your gaze from whatever is

[5:33]inappropriate to Faith and remember Allah frequently there's a tradition which says

[5:39]that those places where and in connection with which Allah is mentioned

[5:43]will testify to that before Allah on the day of judgment and

[5:48]we'll ask forgiveness for those people so that Allah will let them

[5:51]enter the garden do not speak excessively with people along the way

[5:55]for that is Bad Manners most of the roads are the traps

[6:00]and markets of of Satan so do not feel safe from his

[6:02]tricks make your coming and your going in obedience to Allah striving

[6:07]for his pleasure for all your movements will be recorded in your

[6:11]book as Allah said on the day when their tongues and their

[6:13]hands and their feet shall bear witness against them regarding what they

[6:19]did we have made every man's actions to cling to his neck

[6:23]un knowledge knowledge is the basis of every Sublime State and the

[6:26]culmination of every High station that is why the holy prophet Sall

[6:32]Al said it is the duty of every Muslim man and woman

[6:35]to seek knowledge that is the knowledge of precaution tawa and certainty

[6:41]Imam aliam said seek knowledge though it be in China meaning the

[6:46]knowledge of nosis of the self in it is contained knowledge of

[6:52]the Lord the holy prophet sallallah alai said whoever knows his own

[6:57]self knows his Lord moreover you should acquire that knowledge without which

[7:02]no action is correct and that is sincerity we seek Refuge with

[7:06]Allah from knowledge which has no benefit that is from knowledge which

[7:10]is contrary to actions performed with sincerity know that a small amount

[7:14]of knowledge requires a great deal of action because knowledge of the

[7:21]hour requires the person who has such knowledge to act accordingly during

[7:27]his entire life isaam said I saw a stone on which was

[7:30]written turn me over so I turned it over written on the

[7:35]other side was whoever does not act by what he knows will

[7:38]be doomed by seeking what he does not know and his own

[7:43]knowledge will be turned against him Allah revealed to David the least

[7:45]that I shall do to someone with knowledge who does not act

[7:48]by his knowledge is worse than 70 inner punishments which result in

[7:54]my removing from his heart the sweetness of my remembrance there is

[7:58]no way to Allah except via knowledge and knowledge is the adornment

[8:02]of man in this world and the next his driver to paradise

[8:07]and by means of it he attains Allah's contentment with him he

[8:12]who truly knows is the one in whom sound actions pure supplications

[8:16]truthfulness and precautions speak out not his tongue his debates his comparisons

[8:23]assertions or claims in times other than these those who sought knowledge

[8:28]were those who had intellect piety wisdom modesty and caution but nowadays

[8:33]we see that those who seek it do not have any of

[8:38]these qualities the man of knowledge needs intellect kindness compassion Good Counsel

[8:43]forbearance patience contentment and generosity while anyone wishing to learn needs a

[8:50]desire for knowledge will devotion of his time and energy piety caution

[8:55]memory and resolution giving judgment giving judgment is is not permissible for

[9:00]someone who has not been endowed by Allah with the qualities of

[9:04]inner Purity sincerity and both his hidden invisible actions and a proof

[9:09]from his Lord in every state this is because whoever has judged

[9:15]has decreed and decree is only valid by the permission of Allah

[9:18]and by his proof whoever is liberal in his judgment without having

[9:23]made a proper examination is ignorant and will be taken to task

[9:26]for his ignorance and will be burdened with his judgment as the

[9:32]tradition indicates knowledge is a light which Allah casts Into the Heart

[9:37]of whomsoever he Wills the holy prophet sallallah alai said whosoever is

[9:41]boldest among you in judging is also the most insolent to Allah

[9:45]does not the judge know that he is the one who has

[9:50]come between Allah and his bondsmen and that he is wavering between

[9:53]the garden and the fire sufyan had said how can anyone else

[9:58]benefit from from my knowledge if I have denied myself its benefit

[10:04]it is inappropriate for anyone to judge on what is permissible and

[10:09]what is forbidden among creation except for one who causes the people

[10:13]of his time Village and his City to follow the truth through

[10:16]obedience to the holy prophet sallallah alai and who recognizes what is

[10:21]applicable of his judgment the holy prophet sallallah alai said it is

[10:26]because giving judgment is such a tremendous affair in which there is

[10:32]no place for hopefully perhaps or maybe the commander of the faithful

[10:35]said to a judge do you know the difference between those verses

[10:41]of the Quran which abrogate and those which are abrogated no do

[10:44]you have a command of the intentions of Allah in The Parables

[10:47]of the Quran no then you have perished and caused others to

[10:54]perish the commander of the faithful peace be upon Him replied a

[10:57]judge needs to know the various meaning meanings of the Quran the

[11:01]truth of the prophetic way the inward indications courtesies consensus and disagreements

[11:08]and to be familiar with the basis of what they agree upon

[11:10]and disagree about then he must have acute discrimination sound action wisdom

[11:16]and precaution if he has these things then let him judge enjoining

[11:23]what is good and forbidding what is evil Whoever has not thrown

[11:26]off his anxieties been purified of the evils of his self and

[11:29]its appetites defeated Satan and entered under the guardianship of Allah and

[11:36]the security of his protection cannot properly enjoin what is good and

[11:41]forbid what is evil and since he has not attained these aforementioned

[11:45]qualities whatever Affair he tackles in attempting to enjoin what is good

[11:50]and forbid what is evil will be a proof against him and

[11:52]people will not benefit from it Allah said what do you enjoin

[11:57]men to be good and neglect your own Souls in 2:44 anyone

[12:02]who does that is called upon thus oh traitor do you demand

[12:07]from my creation that which you have rejected for yourself and have

[12:11]slackened the Reigns in this regard upon yourself it is related that

[12:16]asked the messenger of Allah s about this verse Oh you who

[12:25]believe take care of your souls he who s cannot hurt you

[12:27]when you are on the right way chap 5: 105 the messenger

[12:34]of Allah sallai said enjoy what is good and forbid what is

[12:38]evil and be forbearing in whatever afflicts you until such time when

[12:42]you see meanness obeyed and passions followed and when everyone will have

[12:47]conceit about their own opinion then you should concern yourself only with

[12:52]yourself and ignore the Affairs of the Common People a person who

[12:57]enjoys what is good needs to be knowledgeable about what is is

[13:00]permissible and what is forbidden he must be free from his personal

[13:03]inclinations regarding what he enjoins and forbids Give Good Counsel to people

[13:08]be merciful and compassionate to them and call them with gentleness in

[13:15]a very clear manner while recognizing their different characters so that he

[13:18]can put each in his proper place he must see the intrigues

[13:23]of the self and the minations of Satan he must be patient

[13:28]in whatever befalls him and must not seek compensation from people for

[13:32]that which he instructs them in nor complain about them he should

[13:36]not make use of vehement or passion he should not become angry

[13:39]for his own sake he should make his intention purely for Allah

[13:44]and seek his help and desire him but if people oppose him

[13:47]and are harsh to him he must be patient and if they

[13:52]agree with him and accept his verdict he must be thankful in

[13:55]trusting his affair to Allah and looking to his own faults how

[14:00]the the men of knowledge are ruined caution and fear are the

[14:04]legacy of knowledge and its measure knowledge is the ray of nosis

[14:09]in the heart of belief whoever is denied caution is not a

[14:12]man of knowledge even if he can split hairs in dealing with

[14:15]obscure items of knowledge Allah said only those of his servants who

[14:21]are possessed of knowledge fear Allah in chapter 35: 28 men of

[14:26]knowledge are ruined by eight things greed and miserliness showing off in

[14:33]partisanship love of Praise delving into things whose reality they cannot reach

[14:38]affectation by taking excessive pains to beautify their speech with Superfluous Expressions

[14:45]lack of modesty before Allah boastfulness and not acting upon what they

[14:50]know isaam said the most wretched of all people is he who

[14:53]is known for his knowledge not for his actions the holy prophet

[14:56]sallallah alai said Do not sit with every presumptuous caller who summons

[15:02]you from certainty to doubt from sincerity to showing off from humility

[15:07]to Pride from Good Counsel to enmity and from abstinence to desire

[15:13]draw near to the person with knowledge who summons you from Pride

[15:17]to humility from showing off to sincerity from doubt to certainty from

[15:22]desire to abstinance from enmity to Good Counsel none are fit to

[15:28]preach to Creation except that person who has gone beyond these evils

[15:32]by his truthfulness he sees the faults of speech and knows what

[15:35]is sound from what is unsound the defectiveness of thoughts and The

[15:39]Temptations of the self and his fancies aliam said be like the

[15:47]kind compassionate Doctor Who places the remedy where it will be of

[15:52]benefit they asked Isa alisam with whom shall we sit oh Spirit

[15:55]of Allah with one the sight of whom reminds you of Allah

[15:59]he repli lied and whose speech increases you in knowledge and whose

[16:03]actions make you desire the next World guarding oneself whoever guards his

[16:09]heart from heedlessness protects his from appetites and guards his intellect from

[16:14]ignorance will be admitted into the company of the Vigilant then he

[16:18]who guards his knowledge from fancies his faith from Innovation and his

[16:22]property from The Forbidden is among the righteous the messenger of Allah

[16:27]Sall alai said it is a Duty for every Muslim man and

[16:33]woman to seek knowledge and that is knowledge of the self therefore

[16:36]it is necessary for the self to be in all states either

[16:39]expressing his gratitude or profer his excuse for lack of gratitude if

[16:45]this is acceptable to Allah it is a favor upon him and

[16:48]if not it is Justice upon him for every self it is

[16:53]necessary to work that it may succeed in its acts of obedience

[16:56]and for its protection its efforts tostain stain from doing harm the

[17:00]basis of all this is recognition of total need and dependence on

[17:07]Allah caution and obedience the key to it is in delegating your

[17:10]Affair to Allah cutting off expectation by always remembering death and seeing

[17:15]that you are standing in the presence of the allc compelling this

[17:19]gives you rest from confinement rescue from the enemy and peace for

[17:24]the self the means to sincerity and obedience is Harmony and the

[17:28]root of that rests upon considering life as being only as long

[17:32]as a day the messenger of Allah Sall said this W lasts

[17:38]but an hour so spend it in obedience to Allah the door

[17:41]to all of this is always to withdraw from the World by

[17:45]means of constant reflection the means to this is withdrawal is contentment

[17:50]and abandoning such existential matters as do not concern you the means

[17:55]to reflection is emptiness or desirelessness and the butress of emptiness is

[18:00]abstinence the completion of abstinence is precaution and the door to precaution

[18:05]is fear the proof of fear is glorification of Allah adherence to

[18:09]obeying his commands with sincerity fear and caution and holding back from

[18:13]The Forbidden and the guide to this is knowledge Almighty Allah said

[18:17]those of his servants who are possessed of knowledge fear Allah in

[18:23]chapter 35 verse 28 oh
