Biography-Prophetic Biography- Understanding the Prophet's Biography- (Lesson 39-57): Hiraa Cave and the Prophet's Meditation in it

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations, and Peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad, the faithful and the honest. Oh, Allah, w e know nothing but w hat You teach us. You are the All- Know er, the Wise. Oh Allah, teach us w hat is good for us, and benefit us from w hat You taught us, and increase our know ledge. Show us the righteous things as righteous and help us to do them, and show us the bad things as bad and help us to keep aw ay from them. O Allah our Lord, lead us out from the depths of darkness and illusion, unto the lights of erudition and know ledge, and from the muddy shallow s of lusts unto the heavens of Your Vicinity.

The Prophet curriculum is a way of living:

Oh respectful brothers, this new lesson of Prophet's curriculum, I'd like to remind you now & then that Prophet's curriculum( PBUH)doesn't literally mean Prophet's curriculum but, it means every Muslim's w ay of living. If w e only apply it (Prophet's curriculum, situations, directions w hether by w ords or deeds ) in our living ; our problems w ill all be solved, since Allah has sent him for our mercy and salivation The most important point is that your belief is lifted higher w hen you believe that our prophet is your example. On the contrary, you are far aw ay from true belief w hen you guess that his curriculum is not an issue of yours and that it w as aw ay of living just for the Islamic beginning, and for that nation of desert& simplicity ((in the beginning of Islam ))and that w e rather need very complicated rules and systems due to our complicated life. Verily,Prophet's curriculum is valid to all times and all places, for each condition and environment: the evidence is mentioned in the Holy Quran:

"Indeed in the messenger of Allah(Mohammed PBUH)you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for ( the meeting w ith ) Allah and the Last Day."

Now concentrate: A person seeks for many w ould have famous business men as his example w hen he listens to them talking about how they gain their millions and millions, his soul dissolves out of eager to be just like them. Who w ants to be a celebrity, accompanies celebrities and men of position, his soul dissolves out of eager to be just like them. Whose first concern is life pleasures, meets those w ho indulged in their desires and fancies, w hile listening to their adventures, their abnormality behaviors his soul dissolves out of eager to be just like them. And w ho hopes for Allah and the Day Of Resurrection, w hen ever listens to Prophet's curriculum (PBUH) his soul dissolves out of eager to follow his example and his path. So tell me w hat you think is great I tell you w ho you are. A believer believes that there's no one greater than his prophet, on the other hands, a non believer thinks, w ithout even realizing, in his inner feeling that strong people set example.. Who is fond of gathering money thinks of rich people to be his example, w ho seeks fame thinks of celebrities to be his example, w ho believes that life is just a pleasure, a drink and a w hore ; thinks of degraded indulged people to be his example. So tell me w hom you glorify, I tell you w ho you are. Tell me w hich curriculum you w ant to follow , I tell you w ho you are. It's a sign of your belief to see no one greater than our prophet (PBUH).

The devoutness of the Prophet in the Cave of Hera' Oh respectable brothers, referring to an old subject, w hich is the devoutness of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Cave of Herra'. In w hich w ay are w e related to such a behavior ? A person leaves his w ife, children, home, security, and his bed, goes for 2 miles, that is 3 Kilos, in the toughest, most difficult path to reach to a natural cave dimentions 2X1 m2, sitting alone, w here there's no air conditioning, nor is a secure place, there w as no kitchen, no refregirator, no juice, no coffee, no tea, to satellite channel to bring amusement, not his w ife by his side, nor his children around, he is just among rocks, w hat is he doing? What do w e have to do w ith this? I s w ear by Allah –w ho there is no God but him- if you don't have Cave of Herra' you w on't be a believer. I'm not asking you to climb a high mountain seeking for a cave, I'm asking you to have some privacy alone daily in your home and to think w ho are you ? w hy are you here in this life, w here have you been before your birth? And w hat w ill you be after death? Why w ere w e created? Who created us? Why is life short? Why does a person suddenly die? What w ill happen after death? What is the substance of a soul?....these are the most dangerous things you must know . Thus, read Allah's w ords in the Holy Quran:

"Say(O Muhammad PBUH): "Shall w e tell you the greatest losers in respect of (their ) deeds? * " Those whose efforts have been w asted in this life w hile they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds."

Haven't you ever thought of your leaving hour?

I sw ear that I happen to know an 80 years old person from a country in Northern Africa, w ho has endless money yet, in the age of eighty, he w anted to establish a Casino, how does he think?

Oh,honorable brothers, w hen facts are discovered a person feels the great loss. A T.V program presented the image of Pharaoh; the proper Pharaoh of Prophet Moses; w as taken to Paris, w here his arm w as repaired from fungi and decay & w as w rapped by bandage, then I thought,he w ho said

" I am your Lord, Most high."

" I know not that you have an Ilah (God) other than me."

When he w as about to draw , he said

"I believe that none has the right to be w orshipped but he (Allah ) in w hom the Children of Israel believe."

All your intelligence, championship and success is to think about the hour of leaving this w orld? Where w ill you go ? Thus, w hat did our prophet do w hen he w ent to Cave of Hera', he w as thinking of the Kingdom of Allah, this realm, the great facts. Oh honorable brothers, sometimes w e are consumed by life, a person's great concern is to reduce his taxes, to enlarge and decorate his home, to buy a car, to be pleased w ith life, to travel to meet others, to boast, to feel superiority upon others. But, What are Prophets' concerns?

" By the star w hen it goes dow n * your companion (Muhammad PBUH) has neither gone astray nor has erred* nor does he speak of (his ow n ) desire* It is only a Revelation revealed."

" While he Jibril(Gabriel)w as in the highest part of the Horison."

You,What is your horizon ? Is it only your w orldly demands. A person w hose concern is to increase his earning is too little according to Allah's criterion, another person's concern is to recognize in Allah, other person's concern is to lead others to Allah, other's concern is to Please Allah. …. Tell me your concerns, I tell you w ho you are.

What was The Prophet doing in The Cave of Herra' ?

What did The Prophet (PBUH) do in The Cave of Herra? He w as w orshipping there for counted nights, he w as performing isolation a w hole month annually, and Mrs. Khadijah- His w ife- w as fetching him food and w ater Do you have Privacy w ith Allah? Do you have confidential talk w ith Allah? Do you have meditation ?

" So, let man see from w hat he is created! He is created from a water gushing forth."

What w ill happen after death? What is my fate? I gained a high certificate then,w hat? At last you'll die. w hether you w ere a doctor, an engineer, an advocate, a Haj (pilgrimage ), Head of a family,an ex. councilor, an ambassador …. After death, there's no embassy, no position, no rank there's nothing.

"And truly you have come unto Us alone (w ithout w ealth, companions or anything else ) as w e created you the first time. You have left behind you all that w hich w e had bestow ed on you."

Dear brothers, The Prophet's devoutness in Herra', w as a meditation about integrities of life. In the great concepts of living, so, w hen he approaches the age of 40 –and w hoever became 40 years old then he's already considered to join the other life's market, the holy verse:

" Did w e not give you lives long enough, so that whosever would receive admonition could receive it? And the w arner came to you. "

Oh people, be careful, the warner has come, so, what is the warner?

1- The Warner is the Holy Qura'n:

The meaning of this w ord ( the w arner) as mentioned in Al-Qurtubi interpretation: The w arner is the Holy Quran, suppose you w ere travelling and you saw a sign indicating: Dangerous Curve or, Dangerous Crossing, severe slope or, slippery road or, fog ….This sign is a w arner,of course put before the area of danger not after it,other w ise it w ould be w orthless. The holy Qura'n stated that death is a fact:

" O you w ho believe !Let not your properties or your children divert you from the remembrance of Allah. And w hosever does that, then they are the losers." And also stated that:

" Verily, among your w ives and your children there are enemies for you, therefore be w are of them."

Some times, a w ife put pressure upon her husband demanding for unaffordable payments for him, this pressure leads him to steal ( or do any w rong doing),as a result he is punished, exposed and has his hand's cut. Then, he considers his w ife, w ho put pressure upon him, to be among his enemies. So, the Holy Qura'n explains, thus it is a w arner.

" The day w heron neither wealth nor sons w ill avail, Expect him w ho brings to Allah a clean heart( from polytheism)."

What w ould a person do by his millions? Among the strangest stories: The richest British Jew ish called Rodcheled w hose treasury w as an entire room, out of his w ealth, used sometimes to lend the British government, He entered once his treasury, and the door w as closed by mistake, he shouted and called out but, no body heard him, as his house w as a mansion and he w as used to be absent for long times, thus his family thought he w as aw ay in a travel, he stayed there till he nearly died out of thirst and hunger, he hurt his finger and w rote on the w all by his blood: the richest person in the w orld dies out of thirst and hunger.

" Did w e not give you lives long enough, so that whosever would receive admonition could receive it? And the w arner came to you. "

One of the richest Lebanese, w ho has a private plane, digged his grave in the most w onderful area over looking Beirut, his plane fell in the sea, millions w ere paid to find his body, it w as a vain effort, they didn't find his body but found his pilot's body, and he couldn't be buried in the prearranged grave. It's life. and The Holy Quraan is a Warner.

2-The Prophet is a warner:

" O prophet ( Muhammad PBUH)! Verily, w e have sent you as w itness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a w arner."

It 's said in the holy Hadith: Oh, verily there's a nourish, delicate person in this w orld, w ould certainly be hungry & naked in the day of Resurrection. On the contrary, there maybe a hungry, naked person in this w orld w ho w ill certainly be nourish & delicate in the day of Resurrection. I.E A person may seem to be insulting himself but, he is, in fact, honoring it and on the contrary A person may seem to be honoring himself but, he is, in fact, insulting it. The good deed is a grief upon a hill, and the a bad deed ( a sin ) is, easy during distraction. So, the Prophet is a w arner It 's also said in the holy Hadith:

" A w ise is a one w ho subjects him self, and work hard for the after life, the unw ise is the one lets his soul follow s its fancy, then makes w ishes for Allah.”

3- The Warner is the age of forty:

The age of 40 is a w arner, w ho became 40 joins in the after life's markets. To make it clear: suppose you intended to spend ten days in a w onderful retreat, in the seventh day your plans changes, you buy your tickets, presents, gather your belongings. It's said in the Holy Hadith: "Whoever reaches 40 and his good side doesn't prevail his bad side, he shall be ready to go to hell" Till w hen you're busy w ith your desires, though you hold the complete responsibility for your deeds. You disobey Allah, pretending to love him, Which, I sw ear, is an aw ful thing If your love w as true you must have obeyed him, verily, a person obeys his beloved. Thus,the age of forty is a w arner. Whoever became 60 years old, then every extra year after sixty is a profit – as death campaign betw een sixty & seventy. If w e became forty w e joined the after life's markets, how about becoming sixty ? What a bout a sixty years person w ho is yet a teenager, w hose only concern is a not permitted w oman.

4- The Warner is the grey Hair:

The gray hair is a w arner, it's mentioned in some of the holy hadith that Allah says:

" Oh, my w orshipper you got older, having a w eak sight, bent back, gray hair, so show coyness to me, I deal w ith you in coyness. " I'm fond of three persons, and my fond for another three is greater, I 'm fond of obedients, and have greater fond for an obedient youth,… A youth in the beginning of his life, having high desires yet, he obeys Allah. As Allah likes nothing more than a repentant youth " Allah protests his Angles w ith a worshipper youth, saying: look at him, left his desire for my sake "

Now , back to the Holy Hadith:

" I'm fond of three persons, and my fond for another three is greater, I'm fond of obedient,and have greater fond for an obedient youth, I'm fond of generous people, and have greater fond for a poor generous person, ….

For instance, a poor one w ho has only tw o apples, puts them in a dish to serve you saying: Please take, having nothing more, even though is generous.

" I'm fond of humble people,and have greater fond for a humble w ealthy person"

Who eats w ith his servant, he answ ers w hen is called from a distant place, humble, feels Allah's blessings upon him.

" And I detest three persons, and my detest for another three is greater, I detest disobedients, and have greater detest for an disobedient old man…."

To make this phrase clear in the common language w e say, an elder w earing a red hat, an elder person has a face lifting, resorting operation, nose adjusting,hair plant,in order to return a youth, Oh, I w ish one day, youth w ould come back. In Islam, every age has its integrity.

" And I detest arrogant people, and have greater detest for a poor arrogant man…."

Is there any cause for a poor's arrogance?

" And I detest miser people, and have greater detest for a miser rich man…." Who has endless, uncounted money, and gets even w ith a dirham or a small account. Listen to this story,, forty years ago, as I remember, public means of transport costs 5 piaster to a certain area, till the end of the lane it cost 7.5 piaster, some rich people used to take the transport to the area that only cost 5 piaster then w alk to the end of the lane in order to save 2.5 piaster.that's miserliness. It's just like cancer, a dangerous disease.

" And w hosoever is saved from his ow n covetousness, such are they w ho w ill be the successful"

Thus, the Holy Quran is a w arner as w ell as the Prophet, the age of forty, the age of sixty and the gray hair.

5- Misfortunes are Warners

Misfortunes are w arner, first of all you got a w eak sight, then put on glasses,have teeth decay, so use a bridge and removable teeth, has sore joints, bent back, high Uric Acid, bad hearing, shaking hands…etc w hat does all of this indicate to? These developments means Oh, man it's very soon to meet Allah, ARE YOU READY for that? There are indicators to show that it's getting sooner to meet Allah. It might have been possible for a person to live all his life w ithout getting older and older, just being a youth till death But, Allah's w ell requires that face's features must change as a result of aging.Everyone has a personal photo for his childhood, there's certainly a great different, w hen you're ten you have a totally different photo than w hen you become seventy or eighty. There's a progress in facial w rinkles, gray hair, sight w eakness, pow er w eakness, digestion symptoms,heart symptoms…etc. My teacher told me once; joking: fifty years ago, I w as more active than now . It's a w arner ageing process is a w arner, the accompanying symptoms assures that the meeting is soon, Are you ready? Hence, Misfortune is a w arner. Oh, I sw ear that this subject is very important, sometimes, some countries have a review consists of tanks w eapon, air force, infantry, missiles to send a certain message for an neighbor enemy country, that is the truth of a review . other times tw o countries have maneuvers together, w hy? Well, to send a message for a third country that w e made alliance against you.. Now , the recent style is a practical one, Allah send misfortunes to his w orshippers as a w arner. The evidence is in this holy Verse from the Holy Quraan:

"And if ( w e had )not (sent you to the people of Makkah ) in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds ) that their hands have sent forth." "They w ould surely have said:Our, Lord! If only you have sent us a messenger, w e should certainly have follow ed your Ayat (proofs)before we were humiliated and disgraced."

I'll make it clear by this example: Once, a fifth grade pupil told his father: I don't like to study, the father responded: as you w ish,tomorrow don't go to school, he didn't advise him, the next day came and the pupil didn't get up early, he got up at ten o'clock, how comfortable, there w as no more early getting up, no more home w orks, no more school, at tw elve o'clock he ate 10 eggs, w ent to the cinema at night w ith his friends, very w ell!!! Years passed,and he thought he w as the cleverest one ever, w ho got rid of school. He got older, having no certificate, no career, no grocery, he w as not a doctor, neither an engineer, not married, haven't children. Then, he got mad w ith his father and said: Oh, father w hen I told you that I don't like studying w hy didn't you slap me on face? Why didn't you kick me? Why didn't you yell on me? You're the cause of my misery !! Many students have a strict father, but they excel their studying, then w hen become celebrities then say: Oh Allah, bless my father, if not for his hardness and strict behavior w ith me, if not he follow ed me up I w ouldn't be w hat I am. So, you must believe that unless Allah sends misfortunes to Muslims they w ould say in the day of resurrection: If only you have sent us a messenger, w e should certainly have follow ed your Ayat (proofs)before w e w ere humiliated and disgraced." So, What is a w arner? It's misfortunes Here in this tow n, a person has a grocery, puts a sign indicating: prayer time, w hile committing adultery in. the grocery w as burnt. He rebuilt the grocery and returned to commit adultery, the grocery again w as burnt. so unless Allah sends misfortunes to people they w on't be restrained.

The Monotheism understanding for an ( misfortune ) agony

So, misfortunes is w arner, I have a w ish for everyone to understand agony in a monotheistical w ay. An agony, or a misfortune has an earthly understanding, a monotheistical understanding and a polytheism understanding. It's among your cleverness to take the monotheistical understanding not earthly or polytheismcal understanding. For instance, considering earthquakes they explain it as ; a confusion in the crust of earth, w hich is a scientific explanation,though not enough, w e must consider the existence of Allah, w hy w as an earthquake occurred in a certain place?

" And your Lord w ould never destroy the tow ns w rongfully, w hile their people w ere right doers."

No w ay, you must understand misfortunes in a monotheistical w ay. A symbolic story indicates that: a bird met king Solemon, the prophet (PBUH) and asked him: w hether Allah acts promptly or patiently?, after asking his Lord, he answ ered the bird on the tongue of Allah:I'm patient, so he became calm. then, the bird saw some people having a grill and took it,then flew , for the taught that Allah is patient, w ithout noticing; a piece of burning meat stuck to the piece he took, he put the meat in his nest,w hich w as entirely burnt and his kids died. He w ent back to king Solemon saying: I asked you and you told me that Allah is patient no he is in haste, he asked again his lord w ho told him " this w as an old account " A misfortune is a message from Allah. Listen carefully, w hoever, after having a misfortune of any kind, didn't absorb the lesson, then he himself has a deep self problem. How did Allah drew a celebrity of the richest people in this w orld to the Indian beaches in those coldest days 25th. Jan. ? During that time, the w eather w as w arm there, a tropical w eather, a fantastic sea, giant forests, w ere there7 stars retreats, elegance, degeneration, homosexuality, prostitution, very fine lands, w ith extremely rich people. Suddenly, Tsunami Earthquake broke through, they saw the stars in the clear sun shine, 25 thousand of the richest people in the w orld died there, how did Allah drew them? These are messages. 400 thousand child is brought up for prostitution. Some of these countries' presidents says boasting: there isn't a single virgin in his country!! those countries live on sex and prostitution. Among the earth quake results w ere 300.000 w ere killed, 5 millions became homeless, the place couldn't be rebuilt before 10 years, everything w as destroyed. This doesn't mean that no Muslims w ere killed as a result of Tsunami but, everyone dies according to his intention, thus, a Muslim has a special death or special account.Hence, misfortunes is w arner.

6- Relatives death is a warner

Relatives death is a w arner, a healthy person suddenly dies, I have a relative, has a w eekly gathering w ith his friends; every Sat.'s evening, one of his friends is very sociable, light spirited, has a great sense of humor, very healthy, agile, very precise about his food, eats vegetables, salads, fruit, has a custom of daily w alking …so, all the means of a long healthy life are available, he said once: I shall not die young, I w ill live for along time before I die- this precisely w as w hat he said – He w as asked for the reason of his idea, and answ ered: look at me, very healthy, very active, daily sports, healthy nutrition, peace of mind, I have no problem, good reputation and very pleasing at home. Good convincing w ords as they seemed. The other Saturday he w as buried. "And the w arner came to you. " w hich is relatives death Another group of youth, w ho have w eekly evening gathering, one of them is a mid age young man, in the mid of thirty's,w ho fell at the play-yard then died out of brain clot, brain stroke and a heart failure…. His friends learnt the lesson. To sum up, the Warner is The Holy Qura'n, the Prophet, the age of forty, the age of sixty, the gray hair, misfortunes and Relatives death. " Did w e not give you lives long enough, so that w hosever w ould receive admonition could receive it? And the w arner came to you. " So, w hat shall w e do in the cave of Hera'? or Our private room ? w e think, w here have w e been? And What w ill happen after our death? We should think from w here? And to w here? Why ? …etc

The use of self dialogue

I have an unlimited admiration for Our master,Nae'em bin Masoud, w hen he thought,w e called this self dialogue, or inner dialogue, he asked himself: Oh, Nae'em, w hat brought you here? – Nae'em w as a leader of a tribe,came to fight the Holy Prophet in the Ditch Battle, - so asking himself: w hat brought you here? To fight this good man? What did he do? Did he steal money? or profane an honor? Killed someone? Where 's your mind? Exactly, at that moment, the light of belief shone his heart, consequently became a Muslim. Allah brought triumph upon his hands in this Battle. As he made a considerable crack in the alliance, that alliance w as old, so the concept of making alliances is old ok, now the old alliance betw een the Jew ish and Quraish w as broken by his unique intelligence, and Allah grant victory for the Islamic nation in this battle upon Nae'em's hands.

The Cave of Herra' for Meditation:

The Cave of Herra' to Meditate, to think deeply in the creation of heavens and earth, to think deeply w here have you been ? and w hat w ill happen after death? What is the reason of my living ?other w ise you'll apply this holy verse:

Other w ise you'll regret w hile dieing, and w ill say:

"He w ill say:" Alas! Would that I had sent forth(good deeds ) for (this ) my life* So, on that day none w ill punish as He w ill punish* and none w ill bind as he w ill bind"

This thinking in order not to say:

" Oh, w ould that I had taken a path w ith the Messenger ( Mohammed PBUH)* Ah, w oe to me ! w ould that I had never taken so-and –so as khalil(intimate friend)* He indeed led me astray from the reminder (the Quran0 after it had come to me. And Shaitan ( Satan ) is to man ever a deserter in the hour of need."

Each one has Heraa' cave to meditate in: Oh honorable brothers, the cave of heraa' w as not only for our prophet, it should be also for us, of course you don't have to climb a high mountain,it's just in your private room,or any other empty room at home, sit there and meditate after a prayer, w ho are you? Why do you live in this w orld? w hat is useful for you? And if ever feel distracted,think about death, for example you ow n your home, w hen I'm dieing w here w ill I be bathing? In the bathroom, or the kitchen? Or the dining room? These thoughts are very upsetting … ok after burying me w ould they sell the house? w hat w ould they do w ith this car? Would they drive it or sell it ? w ill your children keep in harmony after your death or w hat? Thinking of death has a great positive effects.

" alw ays remember the destructor of desires, when remembering death during a great matter, or a big deal, it w on't be that great or big. And when remembering death during a tiny matter it w on't be tiny any more."

A rich Egyptian died, his sons have a fear for him spending the first night alone- w hich is know n to be the most difficult, in this night a died person w ould be asked: Oh, my w orshipper, they left you alone here, and put you in the dust, even if they stayed w ith they w ouldn't be useful, no one is left w ith you but I – Allah – and I'm The Ever Lasting,never dies. So they hired a miserable poor, paid him 10 pounds to spend the first night in their father's grave, he accepted happily for this great amount of money, he w ore a jute sack, made a top hole for his head and tw o sides holes for his arms, he tied a rope around his w aist, this poor man has nothing in the earth but this sack.. When he laid dow n in the grave, angles of account came asking him: they found tw o persons in the grave, w hich is totally unexpected for them, the poor man w as frightened so he moved, they took him and made him sit dow n asking him: w here did you bring this rope from? He answ ered: from the garden,they asked how did you enter the garden ? he got confused, now how he entered, he didn't know how to answ er. then, how he took the rope, w hether he took a permission or not, did he pay for the rope. then the sack,w here he had brought it from, w ho made the holes in the sack, … they punished him. In the morning, he got out of the grave and told the rich man's sons: May Allah help your father. Thus, w hen you have a deep right thinking from w here ? to w here? Why? Who created me? And w hy? What am I obliged to do? Do I have a right earning ? a right business? Right expenditures? This thinking and meditation in the creation of heavens and earth is the concept of Herra' Cave. Every believer should have his meditation. Some devoted scholars said: w hat my enemies have to do w ith me? If they send me far aw ay, then I consider it tourism, if they send me to jail then it's a privacy, if they kill me then I am a martyr. This seem to be a person lives abroad in a room Sometimesdeserted. But, the truth is that if he meditates the creation of heaven and earth, if he thinks in this realm,this simple room w ill be the cause of his happiness in both the w orldly life and after life. A person w ithout thinking degrades his humanity. Why I am living in this w orld? Thus:

" Verily, he thought and plotted."

If ever a person thinks w ithout a right guidance heavenly spirit, his thoughts may lead him to the w rong w ay, so not every meditation is right.

" Verily, he thought and plotted* so let him be cursed: how he plotted*and once more let him be cursed:how he plotted* then he thought*then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way* then he turned back, and w as proud*then he said: this is nothing but magic from that of old* this is nothing but the word of human being * I w ill cast him into Hell fire, and w hat w ill make you know exactly w hat hell fire is ? * It spares not ( any sinner), nor does it leave (any thing unburnt)!* Burning and blackening the skins* over it are nineteen angles as guardians and keepers of Hell."

The right meditation leads only to Allah's guidance. Every Muslim must have a privacy:

I have a sincere w ish for everyone after this significant lesson to have your ow n privacy w ith Allah, recite the Holy Qura'n, meditate the creation of heavens and earth, invocate for Allah, pray for him, glorify him, ask for his forgiveness, Allah is the greatest, Praise be to Allah. Either to glorify or to recite the Holy Qura'n or to invocate him,or to pray this privacy is just like charging your mobile, unless you recharge it it's idle, and w e're in desperate need for a daily charge, the five prayers are our daily charge.the w eekly charge is the Jouma'a prayer, the monthly chrge is by fasting the 13th., 14th.& 15th. Of every month. The annual charge is by fasting Ramadan, the life recharge is by the pilgrimage ( the hajj). So, you have alife charge once by hajj, an annual charge, a monthly charge, a w eekly charge a daily charge, and Allah forgives sins from a prayer to another, from a Friday to the next, and from Ramadan to the next and the Hajj.

"Who ever performs pilgrimage and doesn't become obscene nor has profligacy he returns w ithout sins, just as the day of his birth."

What I w ish as a result of this lesson, how our prophet set an example for us in the cave of heraa', meditated about the creation of Heavens and earth, he recognize Allah, invocated him asked for his forgiveness, w e must follow his curriculum and have a privacy w ith Allah.

" Allah has revealed to Moses ; do you w ish me living w ith you at your home? Then Moses sank to the ground then said: Oh, my Lord how w ould you live w ith me at my home? Allah said: Oh, Moses, didn't you know that I 'm the companion of this w ho remembers me, and that he finds me wherever he searches for me."

If only your eyes saw w hat they saw of our goodness, you w ouldn't have left us to others. If only your ears heard our good speech, you w ould have leave your arrogance and come at once. If only you felt a little love for us, you w ould find an excuse for those w ho die for our sake. If only a breath of our imminence touched you, you w ould die longing for our nearness. If only you noticed a flash of our lights, you w ould have left all the creatures for us. Thus our love is not easy at all, w ho ever claims so verily,he is totally unfamiliar w ith us. Oh, my respectful brothers, each of us tasted food, drinks, married, and felt marriage, drove a car, inhabited a house, had children…. There's a limit to this w orld. If you ever have a hundred milliard could you eat 5 kilos of gms of meat, you couldn't w ear more than a suit at a time, nor sleep 200ﺓ meat a day, you couldn't eat more than on more than one bed. So, There's a limit to this w orld. No matter how w ealthy you are. Thus, scholars distinguish betw een earning and means of living, so means of living is w hat you make use of the food you ate, the clothes you w ore, the house you live in, the bed you sleep on, your w ife, you'll be accounted for the rest, w here did you gain it from ? and how did you spend it? So, In the Day of resurrection, each one w ill have to answ er five questions before Allah: how he spent his life / how he did w ear out his youth,from w here he gained his money // And how he spent it? What he did w ith his know ledge. So, tw o questions concerning his money, w here he got it from, and how he spent it. Young youth needs to think more than others, as they have w ide choices about their careers. Why you w anted to be a doctor, listen carefully now , a rich doctor, has a BMW, a good position at society, a doctor chooses a beautiful w ife …. If this w as your idea about being a doctor then it's w orthless to choose being a doctor for the above mentioned reasons. I'm talking to the youth, didn't you think that a doctor can cure believers, help them, bring them comfort and release. Once, I met a doctor w ho reminded me w ith a holy hadith " w hoever drove aw ay a Muslim's grief in this w orld, Allah w ill rew ard him by driving aw ay a grief w hich w ill be in the day of resurrection ", I sw ear that my body shaked. He told me: I just beg Allah to be judged for this hadith Oh, Youth, listen carefully and comprehend;

So, you youth, if you have your ow n cave of heraa', you must choose your career for the sake of Allah, there's a great difference of course, w hen you choose a career for Allah's sake, suppose you w ant to be a business man, old good business men used to say: oh, I intend to serve Muslims, then his business turns into a w orshipping.If a doctor ever says: I intend to serve Muslims. If an engineer says: Oh, Allah, inspire me to build houses for youth. If a teacher ever says: Oh, Allah, inspire me to help my student to recognize you ….. so, w hen you are at your heraa' cave you plan for a career w hich grants you Allah's pleasure. I'm talking to youth, w ho have w ide choices, either to choose a career for the sake of this w orld, or to choose one for the sake of the after w orld.

" But seek, w ith that ( w ealth) w hich Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the hereafter, and forget not your portion of law ful enjoyment in this w orld."

You may w ish to be w ealthy, thus you may be w ealthy and rank a high level in the after life, how ? By establishing orphanages, clinics, legal institutions, help youth in marriage expenses, construct buildings…..plenty of choices. What I'm saying is: think to have your ow n heraa' cave at home, in order to plan your future, your after life, unless you plan, you'll planned for. Unless you plan, you'll become a meaningless figure among your enemy's plan. so, cave of heraa' means meditation,as this life some times consumes our time, from a meeting to another, dates, business, evening gathering, confrences …and Till w hen you'll be busy w ith your desires? At Cave of heraa', you should think,meditate, to talk to your self, to have a self dialogue, that w hy Cave of heraa' is for. Our Prophet is our example in Cave of heraa', and each one must have his Cave of heraa'to pray for Allah, to ask for his all demands and hopes, to ask for his forgiveness, to glorifyAllah, to recite the holy Qura'an Cave of heraa' is to have a right path in a planned life..

Allah's insight in his prophet choice for the Cave of heraa'

His choice (PBUH ) for this isolation w as a part of Allah's w ell, to be isolated from earthly business, life chaos and people little w orries w hich occupy life, this isolation w as a point w ere his energies turn to be ready to accept the great release. Thus, w e need Cave of heraa'but, in partition and at home, w e must have a privacy w ith Allah.

" If people ever know the benefits of Isha' & Daw n prayers, then w ould attend, even if creeping, the communal prayer at mosque."

What distinguish a believer from a hypocrite is the attendance of Isha' & Daw n prayers, w hich they couldn't attend."
