Friday is the most blessed day in dunya and in Akhirah. It is yawmu-l Jam' (the day of gathering) and yawmu-l Ikram (the day of honoring). Yet every Friday is unique, and takes its uniqueness from the Divine name Al-Mubdi' (المُبدِع). Each of us takes from the special Tajalli of every moment in accordance with our spiritual states. Keep the honor of Friday, and know the value of Allah's grants and know your enemy.

Salamun Alaykum

In the whole of creation, man is the most honoured. Yet, "Man was created weak (4:28)", and because of that he cannot see his honour or recognize his enemy. Al Habib (sas) was invited to step on The Throne with his shoes, while Al Kalim (as) was ordered to take off his shoes on Mt Sinai. Learn the extent of the honor given to you and know your real enemy. O Shi'a read our names before you kill us to know we do have Muslim names. shaytan is your enemy so even when it tells you "Salamun Alaykum", its only intention is to steal your faith, so never answer! (This was Mawlana's answer when we asked him, after the sohbat, if shaytan really gives salams.)
Treasure Among Ruins

People judge by appearances. Man is veiled. He does not have a cure for the illness of his ego. It is not truth to honour appearances, or the beautiful attire of people. The Prophets never wore magnificent clothing. Honour is never gained to be seen among people but to be a respected one among the heavenly ones. A candle may light a thousand candles. There are heavenly ones who carry heavenly light. The biggest mistake is not to believe those who are enlightened. We must take care for the servants of Allāh ﷻ. Allāh Almighty keeps treasure among ruins.
