00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			Our Praises due to Allah subhanahu wa taala.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:23
			We praise Him we seek his assistance, we seek his forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah subhanho
wa Taala from the evil that is within ourselves, and the evil that results from our deeds whomsoever
Allah subhanaw taala guide, you non show misguide them and whomsoever Allah subhanaw taala allows to
be led astray, none shall guide them back to the straight path. I bear witness that there is no God
worthy of worship except Allah net witness that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is His servant
and messenger Allah tells us in the Quran, are you believe you got unconscious fellows wrong, Carla,
as he deserves to be here, and do not die except as Muslims. All mankind fear Lord me God conscious,
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:59
			who created you from one soul and from its mate and from it many men and many women and fear Allah
subhanho wa Taala through whom you ask of one another, your rights and by the wounds that bore you.
Verily Allah subhanaw taala is ever watchful over you. Oh you who believe be God conscious fearless,
talented and speak the truth you'll read your deeds righteous and he will forgive you and you will
forgive your sins and whoever Allah subhanaw taala whoever obeys Allah subhanho to Allah and His
Messenger has indeed achieved a great victory. Barely the best speeches official Allah and the best
guidance and guidance of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and the worst of affairs is that
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:00
			which is a real
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Religious innovation for all of that and his guidance. And all of this guidance leads to help.
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:15
			I will read about the Allahu Taala tells us of a story of a man who had sinned a great deal during
his life. And towards the end of his life, he realized that
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:23
			when he meets Allah subhanho wa taala, he would face a terrible punishment and consequence.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:27
			And in his extreme fear
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:37
			of Allah subhanaw taala and the accountability that was coming, he said to his children,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:46
			after I die, you shall cremate me, and you shall scatter my ashes everywhere
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			scatter them in the wind in the sea.
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:55
			And he said,
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			mistakenly,
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:02
			if Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:21
			gets a hold of me, then he will surely punish me in a way that he has never punished anyone else.
But brothers and sisters, remember that even if your bones and your body and all of what it is are
pulverized
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			and they completely disintegrate.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:32
			Allah subhanaw taala is more than able, more than capable of bringing people back.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:45
			And so Allah subhanho wa Taala brings him back together and asks him, why is it that you did this
and he said, Oh Allah, I was afraid that you would punish me for what I have done.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:50
			And so Allah subhanaw taala forgave this person.
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			Brothers and sisters.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:01
			I want you to think a little bit about this person. And this scenario right here from this hadith.
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:18
			This individual clearly knew that he was living a life that was not pleasing to Allah subhanho wa
taala. And yes, he did have some theological problems where he thought that perhaps Allah if he was
cremated, then his problems would be gone.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:38
			But despite that, he came to Allah subhanahu wa taala with a quivering heart, trembling with fear,
understanding and taking accountability and responsibility for the things that they have done.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:42
			Having this quality
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			and this trait
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:08
			of admitting to others found out that what you have done wrong, this is the essence of repentance.
And it is the condition for one to be forgiven. As the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he says,
another more October, to have regret is
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			repentance.
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:15
			Some of sometimes we
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:27
			live in a way when we don't understand the meaning and greatness of Allah's forgiveness, because we
don't understand the names and attributes of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:37
			And one of the names of Allah subhanaw taala is a lawful and one of the names of Allah subhanho wa
Taala is a law for
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:46
			and despite both names of Allah being very similar, nevertheless they carry a different meaning.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:09:00
			So for the name of Allah, Allah, foo, it means to pardon and your job was to pardon someone
concealing the crime, erasing it.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:06
			So the person is not accountable anymore for what they have done.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:08
			But there is no reward.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:15
			As for a lover for a takes it much further than that.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:27
			It is not only to forgive, not only to conceal, seek to conceal, excuse me, to waive, but also that
reward is imminent.
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:31
			It is part of the human condition
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:42
			to feel bad for what they have done. No matter how much denial one affords oneself. Allah tells us
in the Quran
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:59
			the Prophet SAW Selim tells us in a hadith in Allah azza wa jal yatta yatta who belaid Lea tubuh
Mussio Nihar are absolutely Yoda who been the hub Lea to the Mercy will label her toddler Shamsul
Maghrebi her Rohan Muslim
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:15
			Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he tells us in this hadith as narrated in Muslim, that Allah
subhanahu wa taala extends his hand out at night, ready to forgive those who have sinned during the
day.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:34
			And he extends his hand out during the day to forgive those who have sinned at night. And this is
what Allah Jonnie Allah Tomcat is opening the doors of mercy and forgiveness and it will be like
this until the end of time.
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:45
			Allah tells us no Quran Olearia Abadi Alladhina Seraph, who Allah foresee him up on our pool Mira
Mattila
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			in La Jolla funeral zone Uber Jaime.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:56
			In Uber food or Rahi, Rahim I
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:22
			say to my servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not give up in the Mercy of Allah
subhanahu wa taala. Verily, Allah forgives all sins young Pharaoh the Nova gymea, Allah forgives all
sins. And this verse refers to any sin that is done.
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:29
			When the person is alive, even shocked, even disbelieve it before the person has to Allah forgives.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:48
			Brothers and sisters, sometimes it can be difficult for us to understand how is it possible that a
person makes a sin repeatedly makes a makes repentance and then does it again over and over again?
Doesn't that make them a hypocrite?
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			I'm going to tell you right now that that is what shaitan tells you.
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:56
			Just like how shaitan
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:13
			told Adam and himself salaam, that if you were to eat from the tree that either you would turn into
angels need perfect Diems or you would be living eternally otaku Yamuna holiday
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:31
			and shaitan loves putting people in this dichotomy. Either you have to be a perfect Muslim or you're
a hypocrite because you're not good enough. Look at this hadith woodsy button sisters, Allah
subhanho wa Taala says and I will summarize it quickly
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:35
			my since my servant commits a sin
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:40
			I've never Abdi them then
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:44
			Charlie Mandela who Robin
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			My servant commits a sin
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:54
			and he knows that he has a lord young Pharaoh them. Well yeah.
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:02
			He knows that he has a lord that will forgive him, but also will hold him accountable and punish
him.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:08
			And then he would say Oh ALLAH forgive me.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:30
			Allah homophily them be and then Allah will forgive him and then he will do it again. And then he
will ask Allah for forgiveness. And Allah will say, My servant has sinned, he knows that he has a
Lord who forgives and can also punish him
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:33
			and he does it again.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			So much so to the point that this person
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			will be forgiven by Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:48
			So, on the surface level, when you read this hadith, you will think wow, so this person is
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:56
			sending, asking for forgiveness, sending asking for forgiveness. So that means he wasn't really
sincere when he was asking for forgiveness, right? No.
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:29
			The Human Condition is very interesting. And that is it is very possible for a person to completely
forget themselves, when they are entrapped by their own desires and their whims that when they come
back to Allah subhanho wa Taala every time repeatedly that they are truly sincere to Allah subhanho
wa Taala even if they have done it over and over and over again. That is possible.
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:35
			And that is why Allah subhanahu wata, Allah forgives.
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:53
			No sin that you have done is too great, too offensive, too nasty, too rude for Allah's mercy.
Allah's Mercy encompasses everything.
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			And so when some people say, Oh, well you know what I'm going to
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			Oh anyways, brothers and sisters, you cannot handle *.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:15
			Easily said on the tongue Well, I'm just going to * anyways. You cannot handle it none of us can
handle it not even for a second.
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:27
			So don't try to posture yourself in front of Allah as if you're not in need of his forgiveness by
saying Well, too bad. I've already done so much anyways.
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:34
			You need Allah's forgiveness more than anything else
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:57
			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Karim Nabina Muhammad wa ala
early he was the HMI about brothers and sisters, we are living in a time now.
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:01
			We are living in a very special time
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:16
			where certain sins and certain behaviors and certain ways of life are openly promoted shamelessly
proudly,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:19
			without any sort of hesitation.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:29
			And that is, well this is what it is. I should be true to myself, I should be genuine with myself.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34
			Therefore why should I have to change
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:40
			what Allah who you read on your toolbar Aleikum, Allah wants to forgive you?
		
00:16:41 --> 00:17:08
			Well, you need to let either your TV Runa, shallaki, intermedial, mela and Alima. And those people
who want to follow their desires, what do they want you to do? They want you to also to digress with
them into a great deviation. It's not just enough that they indulge themselves in their own sins,
but they need everyone else to indulge in it or affirm it. So they don't feel less guilty about it.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			But then sisters
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:16
			in western Imam Muhammad,
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:22
			there is a beautiful Hadith of the Prophet. So I said, and I want to end off with this hadith.
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			On the Day of Judgment,
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:30
			there will be a servant at the very forefront of the creation.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:49
			And Allah subhanho wa Taala will shield them from the from all the other creation, the other
Christian can see that there is a person up in the front, but they cannot here and Allah subhanaw
taala will have this conversation with the servant.
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:56
			Allah subhanaw taala will tell this servant, open up read from your book of good deeds.
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:02
			Then the servant will look at his book of good deeds and he will see a good deed that he has done.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			And I want you to imagine this right now picture this.
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:15
			And when he reads this good deed, his face lights up, he smiles He's excited.
		
00:18:17 --> 00:18:22
			Allah subhanahu wa Tada says, I have accepted your good deed.
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:32
			I want you to think about that. If Allah was to tell you I accept your good deed that's worth more
than the whole universe.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			And then he will prostrate to Allah in thanks.
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:49
			Then Allah will see now read from your book of bad deeds, and his face will turn sad and solid and
dark from the fear of Allah knowing.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:55
			And he and Allah will ask him did you do this? He said yes, yes, I have.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			Allah subhanho wa Taala will say, indeed I have forgiven you for the sin.
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:29
			Then this process will repeat over and over and over again. And the people from far they don't know
what is going on. All they see is a person prostrating getting up prostrating and going back just
like that. One for acknowledging the sin, one for thanking Allah for accepting the good deed. And
these people will say, this person has never committed a sin in their life.
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:40
			But they don't know that conversation between them between that person I've lost count Allah. And
this secrecy this privacy that Allah grants this person
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:46
			is because of this person who used to hide their own sins brothers and sisters.
		
00:19:48 --> 00:20:00
			And they used to indulge in many good deeds. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to forgive us. We ask Allah
subhanaw taala to soften our hearts. We ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to protect us from all sins. We
ask Allah
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:15
