Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:05]As-salamu alaykum warahmatullah wabarakatuh.

[00:00:11]Blessings to everyone.

[00:00:15]In the Holy Quran, what we call the book of love, there are very or you can almost say endlessly interesting things.

[00:00:29]Be it about mathematics, be it about physics, be it about astronomy, astrology.

[00:00:39]But, there is also um all the metaphysics systems that we use in in our tradition.

[00:00:49]The most famous one is the Enneagram that probably most of you have heard about.

[00:00:55]But, there are also other systems.

[00:00:59]And, they are always based on numbers.

[00:01:03]So, the smallest one, of course, is the binary system. That means you're either right or wrong.

[00:01:11]Yeah. Or, you go left or right.

[00:01:15]Um or you go up or down.

[00:01:20]Now, then would come the triangle. This is the the the beginning of relationships. And, um it's a very dynamic system.

[00:01:32]And, then we come to the number five.

[00:01:36]And, this is a system which we call the wheel of the soul.

[00:01:39]And, that has an incredible insight how process in your life function and how do they move, you know?

[00:01:53]There's also a system that is based on the number 40.

[00:01:57]But, of course, it is a very um complex system and it is a very um long thing to explain, and it would take weeks really to to to show it. You know, it is very very complex.

[00:02:13]And this was founded by Abdul Qadir Jilani.

[00:02:17]And um it is not very well known in the West because of its complexity. And then there is a system that is based on the number 99, which we call it Lila.

[00:02:28]And Lila is the shortcut of La ilaha illallah. And so, this is the um it's actually made as a game.

[00:02:37]And um in the old times, the Sheikh would sit down and would play this game with his students, with his murids.

[00:02:46]And um it can take many days.

[00:02:52]It can take even weeks, or it can take just some minutes. It depends who plays with whom also. Because it reflects your inner state and your um points where you are locked, where you are having to develop something better, no?

[00:03:14]So, the five is the most accessible one in terms of how we can dive into it.

[00:03:22]And how we can use it in our daily life, no?

[00:03:27]Now, what we need to understand about those systems, these are not systems that are psychological systems, no?

[00:03:37]So, it is based you can say on a mathematical truth, or on the on the way our universe is encoded. Yeah.

[00:03:50]And um so, this is we can say this is a divine code.

[00:03:57]And that is valid for every one of us. Yeah, we cannot we cannot have an exception here. You know, it is like you are in I am in every one of us is into this system if we want it or not.

[00:04:13]But understanding the sequence of it, you know, how things work in our life, how they unfold, how they grow, or how they do not grow, yeah.

[00:04:24]That is a very very beautiful tool.

[00:04:27]And um we are holding inshallah a meeting that we going to talk more about it.

[00:04:38]So, if there is any interest in that, you may contact us.

[00:04:43]And we will be happy to share it with you.

[00:04:48]So, that was all for today. Thank you very much. And assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
