WEBVTT 00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:08.910 Breeze of magic 00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:13.599 The secret of magic 00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.600 There is a secret in magic that only true lovers know 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:24.600 Those who were permitted to do so for the length of their stay in that beautiful circumstance 00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:29.760 Until they started stealing themselves in the middle of the night 00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:34.920 Life has thrown the living into a deep slumber 00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:40.920 So that the night might reveal to them a new aspect of that hidden secret 00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:45.950 The atmosphere at that time was clothed with the guise of calm 00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:50.530 And after the busy hustlers 00:00:50.530 --> 00:00:54.530 The people of prostration and supplication have tasted magic 00:00:54.530 --> 00:01:00.530 The pleasure of happiness that those who turned away from those sacred moments were deprived of 00:01:00.530 --> 00:01:03.619 And taste the sweetness of comfort 00:01:03.619 --> 00:01:07.620 Until their hearts were reassured and their chests were lightened 00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:11.620 The misfortunes of their world were easy for them 00:01:11.620 --> 00:01:14.620 Their pain eased for them 00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:22.200 They drank the nectar of happiness in the depths of magic in two ways 00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.200 The first way 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:29.200 What are those moments filled with prayer and monologue? 00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:31.200 Of comfort and pleasure 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:36.200 Which God Almighty guides to those who abandon the desire to sleep 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:41.420 He stood before his Lord, kneeling and prostrating 00:01:41.420 --> 00:01:43.420 And the second way 00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:47.420 God responds to the prayers of those involved in magic 00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.810 As for the first way 00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:57.810 Whoever strives himself to continue worshiping in that blessed hour 00:01:57.810 --> 00:02:00.810 It is better to stand there in God's hands 00:02:00.810 --> 00:02:08.810 God covers his heart with a fabric of happiness that is beyond description in beauty and extension 00:02:08.810 --> 00:02:13.810 That is when he preferred what God loved over what his soul loved 00:02:13.810 --> 00:02:19.969 This was the pleasure for which he received his immediate reward 00:02:19.969 --> 00:02:22.259 God Almighty said 00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:28.349 Only those who believe in Our signs when they are reminded of them 00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:37.349 They fell down in prostration and praised their Lord, and they were not arrogant 00:02:37.349 --> 00:02:49.349 Their sides avoid their beds, calling on their Lord in fear and hope 00:02:49.349 --> 00:02:54.349 And they spend from what We have provided them 00:02:54.349 --> 00:03:10.349 No soul knows what has been hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do 00:03:10.349 --> 00:03:15.539 The righteous have spoken about this 00:03:15.539 --> 00:03:24.629 Abu Sulaiman al-Darani said: People of the night are more delicious in their night than people of entertainment in their entertainment 00:03:24.629 --> 00:03:29.729 If it were not for the night, I would not like to stay in this world 00:03:29.729 --> 00:03:39.300 He also said: If God compensates the people of the night for the reward for their deeds, what they find in pleasure 00:03:39.300 --> 00:03:43.300 That would be more than the reward for their deeds 00:03:45.009 --> 00:03:52.139 Some scholars said that there is no time in this world comparable to the bliss of the people of Paradise 00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:59.139 Except for the sweetness of monologues that flatterers find in their hearts at night 00:03:59.139 --> 00:04:08.419 Some of them said that the pleasure of monologues is not from this world, but rather from Paradise 00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:13.419 God Almighty revealed it to His saints and no one else can find it 00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:22.970 Ibn al-Munkadir said: There is nothing left of the pleasures of this world except three night prayers 00:04:22.970 --> 00:04:27.970 Meeting the brothers and praying in congregation 00:04:27.970 --> 00:04:36.379 Sufyan said: When the night comes, I am happy, and when the day comes, I am sad 00:04:36.379 --> 00:04:42.959 Thabitni Al-Banani said, “There is nothing I find in my heart.” 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.959 It is more delicious to me than the night prayer 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:53.500 For lovers, nothing is more delicious than the time of solitude with their loved one 00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:58.500 Which is the healing of their hearts and the end of their quest 00:04:58.500 --> 00:05:06.430 As for the second way, it is the hour of magic, the hour when prayers are answered 00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:13.560 There is no doubt that its people invoke many supplications to God Almighty 00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:20.589 Among them is praying for the relief of their distress and the disappearance of their worries and sorrows 00:05:20.589 --> 00:05:27.589 Perhaps God will answer their prayers and then they will be happy 00:05:27.589 --> 00:05:31.939 It is also an hour of closeness to God 00:05:31.939 --> 00:05:37.139 Whoever is close to God will answer his prayers 00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:41.709 The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said 00:05:41.709 --> 00:05:48.839 Our Lord, Blessed and Most High, descends to the lowest heaven every night 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.839 When the other third of the night remains 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.939 He says, “Who is calling upon Me, that I may answer him?” 00:05:56.939 --> 00:06:00.060 Whoever asks of Me, I will give him 00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:04.189 Whoever asks for My forgiveness, I will forgive him 00:06:04.189 --> 00:06:07.699 He, peace and blessings be upon him, said 00:06:07.699 --> 00:06:13.769 The closest the Lord comes to the servant is in the dead of the night 00:06:13.769 --> 00:06:21.660 If you can be among those who remember God at that hour, then be 00:06:21.660 --> 00:06:25.660 I am surrounded by sorrows and anguish 00:06:25.660 --> 00:06:29.980 He was restricted by pains and annoyances 00:06:29.980 --> 00:06:33.019 His life became difficult for him 00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:36.019 And it upset him for himself 00:06:36.019 --> 00:06:38.019 He lost his hopes 00:06:38.019 --> 00:06:41.019 He fell short of achieving his goal 00:06:41.019 --> 00:06:45.370 Be one of the people of magic, standing and praying 00:06:45.370 --> 00:06:49.500 More than connecting those sweet moments 00:06:49.500 --> 00:06:53.560 And continue to do well in it 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.560 You will find that joys will overwhelm you 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.750 And the pain will ease 00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:04.750 And sorrows will go away 00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:10.100 If you become one of the people of worship during the magic hour 00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:15.100 Be careful not to stop doing that if you are able 00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:18.199 Let us interrupt it, causing distress 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.680 It deprives happiness 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.899 Ibn Rajab said 00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:25.899 Some scholars used to perform magic 00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:28.899 He slept through it for nights 00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:32.939 In his dream, he saw two men standing over him 00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:35.939 One of them said to the other 00:07:35.939 --> 00:07:40.029 This was one of those who sought forgiveness at dawn 00:07:40.029 --> 00:07:42.029 So he left that 00:07:42.029 --> 00:07:46.540 O he who had a heart and it turned 00:07:46.540 --> 00:07:51.579 O one who had time with God and went 00:07:51.579 --> 00:07:54.579 The magic that makes you feel lonely 00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:57.699 Daytime fasting is asked about you 00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:00.769 The nights of arrival blame you 00:08:01.769 --> 00:08:06.439 You changed from us in the company of others 00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.439 You showed the abandonment that this is how we were 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.699 You swore not to turn away from your desires 00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:19.790 So you abstained from the Old Testament, but we did not abstain from it 00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:23.790 Nights we used to draw inspiration from your prayers 00:08:23.790 --> 00:08:28.790 And my heart longs for those nights 00:08:33.549 --> 00:08:35.549 Human happiness
