00:00:01 --> 00:00:09
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah ala alihi wa sahbihi Ultramarine. So then
when they come to LA he was
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:26
			continuing with our series here in the month of Ramadan where we are looking at an exploring
dimension and the concepts of peace tranquility serenity in the Quran.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:31
			Today we're going to be looking at
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:50
			a set of verses ayat from Surah Surah number six, we've talked about the suit on previously, the
ayat that we're looking at today are is 125 126 and 27.
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			In these ayat Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:00:55 --> 00:01:00
			he begins by saying, For me you did Allahu and yeah, do who.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:18
			Whenever Allah wants to guide someone, whenever Allah wants to guide someone, yes, Shara Sodre, who
lil Islam. Allah opens, expands that person's chest for Islam.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			Meaning Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:42
			opens up the person's heart and allows them to really embrace their faith and to be able to
internalize that guidance from Allah to take in that light. And to be able to experience that peace
and tranquility we're talking about.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			Well, man, you read the annual dilemma.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			But when Allah wants to misguide someone,
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			yet you're also Dora who died and hydrogen.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:02:03
			Then Allah makes their heart, their chest, constricted, tight.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:10
			That it they experience an uneasiness hydrogen.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:20
			They feel uneasy. They feel constricted, tight, can undermine your saw or doofus.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:30
			As if that person is climbing up into the sky, flying straight up into the sky, and the idea is,
they feel like they can't breathe.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			They feel like they can't breathe.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38
			Today alakija Allah Allahu Allah, Allah.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:49
			And Allah says that that is how Allah inflicts his punishment, his consequences upon those people
who do not believe
		
00:02:50 --> 00:03:24
			that when people refuse to believe in what Allah has set down, they refuse to open their hearts to
the guidance, the revelation from Allah. This is how Allah punishes them in this dunya that their
chests become constricted, they can't breathe, they feel uneasy. They feel like something's wrong
all the time. What we're essentially describing here is the opposite of tranquility. It's the
opposite of peace. It's the opposite of serenity.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:32
			And Allah says that going back to the first point, to open your heart,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:43
			to open your, your your mind, your heart, to the Quran, to Islam, to the guidance and revelation
from Allah.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:54
			Wa Serato become a stocky man, that this is the path of your Lord laid out very clearly for you.
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:08
			But the first Sunlen Ayatollah Khomeini at the Quran, Allah says that we have so clearly laid out
our signs, we have so clearly laid out all the road signs,
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:23
			all the guidance, all the direction that is needed in order to reach the destination. Lee call me at
the karoun for people who are willing to take heed for people who are willing to pay attention for
people who are willing to look and listen
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			for people who are willing to think about what is being said to them.
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			And then finally, Allah says,
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:34
			law whom dad was Salah
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			law whom Darussalam
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:44
			reserved for these people is the house of peace
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			with their Lord. Now what's really fascinating is we see this word a salam, peace, tranquility, but
there is a place that is being described as peaceful. There is a place that has been
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			characterized with this piece Dar Salam, what does that exactly mean? What does that refer to? So
some of the scholars mentioned a Salam is one of the names and the attributes of Allah.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:28
			So that was salam means the place, that is that Allah has reserved, the place where you get to be
near Allah, the place where you get to see Allah, you get to talk to Allah, you get to be near
Allah, that place.
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:36
			So it's a place of closeness and nearness to Allah. That's Darussalam.
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:48
			It's also described as paradise. Paradise is called that of Santa. Because paradise is the place
where you'll never have to worry about anything ever again.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:15
			You will never experience any difficulty you will never experience any anxiety. You'll never have
any kind of nervousness. You'll never fear anything. You'll never need anything. It's the ultimate
place of peace and tranquility, the abode of fulfillment. Allah subhanaw taala describes this in the
Quran. Allah says women are in the who like a stuck we don't
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:39
			that people who are near Allah, there is no conceit. There is no arrogance. There is no aggression.
There is no transgression near Allah. Allah subhanaw taala. In the Quran, he describes paradise to
us in a very beautiful succinct way, where Allah subhanaw taala tells us that paradise is that
place, that
		
00:06:40 --> 00:07:09
			filata Allah, Allah, Allah who made karate Aryan, no so can fathom the kind of peace and tranquility
that is reserved for people in paradise. Local V. hamata. Shaheed unphysical welcome down, that
everything you could ever desire will be made readily available to you. And everything that you were
promised will be delivered to you in paradise, that's the place that paradise is. So that's called
that of Santa.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:32
			And that paradise is reserved with for them with their Lord. But yet, there's a third meaning built
into this idea as well that'll set up the scholars also explained them with us and explain
Darussalam can also be in reference to this world. For some people, this world this dunya will
become their Dharamsala
		
00:07:34 --> 00:08:09
			because Allah will grant them peace and tranquility. Allah says in the Quran, but amela Salah
Hanneman Dhaka in a window movement, whoever lives our life of devotion to Allah, being male or
female, and they believe in Allah and they live a life of devotion Allah Fela, no, he had no who
hates Kiba we will grant them a beautiful life, a beautiful life. There's a very beautiful Hadith
booty, a sacred narration, a sacred tradition that says the Allah says Allah, Delmon, Kassala Tico
Luba humbly agilely.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:16
			I am with the ones who have humbled their hearts for me.
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:22
			They have humbled themselves, they've discarded all the vanity of this world.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:30
			They don't play the games of this dunya anymore. And they've humbled themselves for me, Allah says
that I am with them.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:09:17
			So, the life of this road can become the home and the peace, the home in the place in the abode of
peace and tranquility for a person if they are willing to fulfill the earlier conditions. And that
is, they are willing to live a life where they open their minds and their hearts to the Quran and
revelation will who will will lead you and Allah will be their ally, Allah will be their friend that
it can be and Allah Molendinar Xena Ave Kathleen Allah. Because Allah subhanaw taala says that Allah
is the ally and the friend of the believers and those who reject belief in Allah and don't believe
in Allah. They have no ally, they have no friend, the only one who will lead you home be Macondo
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:43
			Yama loon. And Allah is their friend and their ally and all of the above the peace of the
tranquility they experience the world becoming a place of tranquility and serenity for them. Them
entering into paradise, them being in the highest stages of paradise close to Allah. Allah being
their ally in their friend, all of these promises are why be back Andrew Yama, Lord,
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			Allah always brings it back to this point.
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			And as much as we don't like to hear this, Allah tells it to us as it is.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			And that is the Mikado Yan balloon. You have to put the work in
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			there
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:11
			received all of this reward and all of this honor and all of this blessing and all of this
tranquility and peace of blessings from Allah. Because they put in the work, they did the deeds.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:19
			We had to leave, you know, our homes to come here tonight to the masjid to the house of Allah.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			We had to leave the Iftar party, the social gathering, in order to come and pray to Allah.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:11:10
			Some work has to be done. It's not really difficult work. It's not overly challenging, but it is
work. And we have to consistently put the work in Carlo cada up the list of rod, they were
consistent. Allah does not demand a lot from us in terms of quantity. But he wants quality and
quality is number one, you do it for line number two, you do it consistently. If you can do it for
Allah and you can do it consistently. Even if it's very humble, even if it's very little. It will
ultimately bring you peace and tranquility and all the promises of Allah in the Hereafter. May Allah
subhanaw taala grant us the ability to do good and to be sincere and doing good. And to consistently
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:36
			do good. I mean our anatomy May Allah accept from all of us. Subhanallah we have the use of Hannah
