The reader: Would you sell it on credit in other than this
The Shaykh : in other than
The reader: Listen
The Shaykh : in other than
The reader: " Would you sell it on credit in other than this *** house after the resurrection of the bodies
This, and if you were to assert it definitively, yet *** its share lies within the realm of possibility
That is not definitive for it, and the result *** found is witnessed by the eye of direct perception
So it composed from between its desire and its *** doubt, measurements of invalidity
And it sought help from it, accepting the immediate *** lower over the promised after a time
And came from interpretation every fitting *** for its intent, O softness of faith "
The Shaykh : Allah is the One to be sought for help.
The reader: " And I listened to the doubts of the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and *** ta'til (denial of the divine attributes) with a deficiency in knowledge
And I belittled the people of guidance " and I saw them
The Shaykh : and she saw them
The reader: And she saw them?
The Shaykh : Yes, the people of guidance
The student: al-Taqwa
The Shaykh : Fine, a copy will be
The reader: Do we write al-Taqwa as a copy?
The Shaykh : Yes, the people of guidance, write al-Taqwa as a copy, yes
The reader: " And I belittled the people of guidance and saw them *** among people as strangers in the lands
And she saw the minds of people revolving around *** gathering of debris and serving the sultan
And around the beautiful woman and the beautiful man and the company of *** "
The Shaykh : company
The reader: " And around the beautiful woman and the beautiful man and the company of *** the beloveds, the companions, and the brothers "
The Shaykh : Allah is the One to be sought for help.
The reader: " So she shrank from leaving them all and did not find *** a substitute in which to delight from excellence
For the heart does not settle except in a *** vessel, so it is below the body in its roaming "
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar.
The reader: " It seeks for it a dwelling that delights in its nearness *** "
The Shaykh : A dwelling, in your opinion?
The reader: Yes, indeed
The Shaykh : I have a dwelling, a dwelling, yes
The reader: " It seeks for it a dwelling that delights in its nearness *** so you see it like the distracted, bewildered one
It loves this one then desires another *** so it remains moving throughout the ages
If it attained every beautiful woman and leadership *** it would not be at peace and would be in constant motion
Rather, if it attained all of the world, the eyes *** would not be pleased with what they had attained "
The Shaykh : the eyes
The reader: the eyes
The Shaykh : the eyes
The reader: " Move your heart where you wish of love *** and choose for yourself the best of people
For the heart is compelled to its beloved, the *** Highest, so no other love suffices it
And its rectitude, its success, and its bliss *** is the purification of this love for the Most Merciful
So if it abandons it, it becomes bewildered *** and returns in this universe to its wandering "
The Shaykh : Allahu Akbar, correct
