We are on the last of the Hikm of Ati Manasam Rahatul Ali, the great scholar. The student

go with us and therefore I want the deeds that go with me to become a source of benefit for me. Because the hadith of Rasulullah in Sayyidina Musleh Maud where he said Abu Hurairah reported that Rasulullah said that when a man dies, by man in all these hadiths, when Rasulullah حضرت ﷺ نے کہا کہ جب ایک شخص مر جائے تو اس کا مطلب ہے کہ شخص اور ایک دوسرے بھی مر جائیں۔ He said that when a person dies, their deeds continue to work, but for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ongoing charity), beneficial knowledge (Ilm al-Naf’ah), and a righteous child who prays for them.

In this life we will stay here. What is it about Allah? So I am sending it along with Allah. He has spoken about such things for them. I have seen that people stay at their homes and homes there and there. And they feel something for them.

As Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala said, “Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah are those who are most righteous.” (Qur’an 49:13) You are the best in piety. Therefore, I want to teach piety in my world. This is not nothing, nor is this anything else. It is piety, and I want to teach it. Then he says that he remembers that people gossip about others and talk about them.

He said, I have seen that in this world, in this world, one month according to a person, which Allah Ta’ala said, “Indeed, Satan is your enemy, so take him as an enemy.” (Qur’an 8:50). He said, Satan is your enemy, and similarly, become enemies of Satan’s enemies. And this is what I do, that I make Satan my enemy and I want to bless him. He said that I see people love each other and they hope very much and they ask very much

to give before others give to them. They present these people first. And Allah Ta’ala said, “There is no creature on earth but its provision depends upon Allah.” (Qur’an 11:6). That all creatures’ sustenance is from Allah. Allah has said this is my problem. So Imam Hatim al-Asamm Rahmatullahi ‘alayhi says that I am also such a desireer, therefore my opponent is also Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. So I am not filled with Him. I want to do anything, but I am not filled with Him. Allah has filled me with what to do for His worship. The last one we will see InshaAllah. I have seen that people create faith in their own selves. People create faith in their own selves and in such things of Allah Subhanahu ta’ala where is His permission. As I read in the Quran, “And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him” (Surah At-Talaq 65:3)

. Trust in Allahﷻ, Allah will become sufficient for him. Therefore, I have placed my faith and trust in Allahﷻ alone. If you think about this so beautifully, we are told we should be confident and we should have high self-esteem and so on. All of these things, it is not as if all of this is false. We are not saying don’t have confidence. The point is for everything there is a time and a place and a maqam. So confidence that gets translated into arrogance, confidence that gets to the point where you think that whatever is there is because of me and I am in control. This is not even reality because things are not in our control. If everything was in our control, there would be nobody who has any need. I want a house, I have a house. I want a wife, I have a wife. I want children, I get children. I want money, I get money. Does it happen? Does this actually happen in life? No. You want many things, so what? You will get what Allah has given for you. You make effort, obviously. I’m not saying you sit in one place. You make effort, but it’s not as if things are in your control. Or things are in, for example, you say, no, if anything it doesn’t matter I have a you know my net worth is so much and I have money in the Seychelles and I have money in the you know Canary Island or somewhere you know even if the Indian economy collapses doesn’t matter I’ve got money in a Swiss bank it makes no sense the point is that we have this reliance we have been taught to rely on material things which we can see which we can you know touch field whereas Allahﷻ is saying the reliance is only upon Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala because His essence is eternal. There is disagreement among all others. Everything is a difference. Okay? And that is why history is important. History is very important to read. Because when you read history you see how a decline happened. Even to people whose wealth and whose power and authority was in their heyday when they were big, it was untouchable, it was something which was you cannot even imagine that today. If somebody tells you, you will feel that as if it’s all fairy tales, but it was true,

it was true that is the kind of wealth people had where is it today where is it going

. We talk about actual physical in today we talk about net worth and so on and this is all notional because you know it’s a for example you have said uh Elon Musk and his net worth is whatever it is but that net net worth is what it’s the share value of SpaceX and share value of Tesla

. It’s not gold and silver. He’s not sitting with gold bricks. But I’m talking about people who were actually sitting with gold and silver. That is not any based on some stock value. It is actual physical wealth.

. Fakhru’l-Mulk Bahadur, you know that here is Manzil Plus. His own second house sent its rules house too. Where he stayed at the Tivi Hospital. You know that look like this, go to Iraqat, you see another left side. Tivi Hospital, this was Fakhru’l-Mulk Deewri. With him is his house. This is a very good sandstone monument. He and his wife are buried there. So he built Iram Manzil Palace on the hilltop there in Khartabad

as in competition with Bikharul Mubarak who built Falaknuma Palace. So Bikharul Mubarak built Falaknuma on that hill and Fakhrul Mulk built Iram Manzil on this hill. Right? He never lived there. He just built it. Every room had Louis XIV furniture in that.

. So the story is that a man took employment and did such a job that Fakhru’l-Mulk for one month the gold and silver coins which were for him

behind Iran Manzil Palace because they used to live in sacks got an opportunity today then you will think head in happiness. They had Ashrafas in sacks, thailomete. So, they used to be spread. It is in sacks, it gets fungus and so on. So, it used to be spread on this, on the palace. Imagine how big that terrace of Iramandir is. The whole terrace used to be spread with gold coins and silver coins. So, this man’s job was that. So, he went and he did all this. So, one month passed. Then in the evening, they collect them all back and take them to the treasury and put them there. So, one month passed, two months passed, he is getting no salary.

. So, after two or three months, he went to his supervisor and told him, I am working for two, three months, I have got no salary. So, you know, I need some money, how to survive? So, the man told him, nobody taught you what you should do. He said, taught me what? So,

. Put the gold and silver coins into buckets and put them into buckets. He says you need to read something with this bucket. So when you read the gold coins with this bucket one or two which can be read are yours

. “Law lo ko te le veda chanka videj cho ri ke point aim se ing hai vedh is at wealth yuvor see de stat of Iram Mandil nav falling apat”

“Vedh is at wealth”

. “So vor you thing vil aapn viwar aur mai wealth”

. There is no thanksgiving. So if you stay according to it then you know that I am very best, here I was, there I was, here and there I am best.

. When we go into our news we know what our thing is.

. Our news goes that our group our thing is. And when we go into our graves, if we are people who Allah said, “He will be sufficient for him,” Allah will be enough for them. Then we have real wealth. Because Allah is enough for me. But when we go into our graves, we go with the disobedience of Allah, we go with denial of Allah, we go with reliance on material which has no value, then what happens?

. So, we ask Allah to help us to understand and to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to Him.
