2017
On July 14th 2017 I went to the Masjid at 4431 Walnut St, Phila PA 19104 like I always do for every Jummah. Because you know, Im a pretty awesome Muslim :). And to my surprise, Shaykh Gilles was there giving a lesson. Now, I look up to Shaykh Gilles very much for all the Islamic knowledge that he gives me. It's a very momentous occcasion if I happen to run into him or catch him, immediately I took out my composition book and began listening and taking notes. I thank Allaah for willing that.

What I Learned
- His Aqidah has to be in compliance with Islam
- There is no human that is detached from worldly matters like Prophet Muhammad
- Never in his life did Prophet Muhammad eat until he was full
- Sufi- wears wool, detached from worldly matters
- What the body needs just to function
- Speak little, sleep little, eat little
- Taste the hardship so you can conquer it
- The base of the Islamic Sufism is to believe in Allaah and His Messenger
- A lot of knowledge with little act of worship is a lot
- Those people who claim to have piety are fake
- No one will be among the pious ones unless they have the proper knowledge
- Kufr, why? Because they do not have the proper knowledge
- "You came to me as a light, and Allaah does not resemble anything"
- $200 x 40= $8,000 (may Allaah bless Shaykh Gilles and reward him for such great knowledge)
- When you have the knowledge you are hard to swallow by the shaytan. You are hard because of your knowledge
- More than 9,000 people saw the hand of Prophet Muhammad rise from his grave
- She needs only 4 hours a day, just to survive
- We don't see the reward now
- It takes strong faith to fathom Allaah's reward in Jannah
