00:01:50--> 00:01:53

What we're going to be speaking about, of course, as was mentioned,

00:01:54--> 00:01:55

is

00:01:56--> 00:02:02

the northwind, the new or the light within how to increase our email.

00:02:03--> 00:02:07

It's a very, very important topic. especially

00:02:08--> 00:02:12

coming from the month of Ramadan.

00:02:13--> 00:02:18

You see that all of us? All of us feel that our Eman

00:02:19--> 00:02:23

increased. But then after the month of Ramadan.

00:02:24--> 00:02:28

There was a massacre and it was called the eight Day Massacre.

00:02:29--> 00:02:34

The Day Massacre what is the Day Massacre? The Day Massacre was a day

00:02:35--> 00:03:07

that and the victims of the Day Massacre are the ones who are the ones who no longer go to the masjid. Why because as soon as the Shelton are released, as soon as the month of Ramadan is over and the children are released, your enemy is released. You are immediately victims of that Great Day Massacre. Why? Because you because you did not take advantage of the month of Ramadan to increase and learn the lessons on how to keep your Eman strong.

00:03:08--> 00:03:54

And so what are some of the things that we can do to increase our Eman? I know that that's a very very broad topic. And if we were to spend the whole week speaking about it, we wouldn't we would still not be finished. But inshallah we will we will try our very best inshallah, just to remind each other of some of the points and some of the things that we can do to increase our Eman. So before we speak about things that will increase your Eman, let's speak about some of the things that will make your Eman go down what are some of the things that will decrease your Eman And then inshallah we can avoid those things and then we inshallah will mentioned the actions that will

00:03:54--> 00:04:16

increase our Eman just like when we say la ilaha illAllah negation La ilaha illAllah that affirmation. So we start with negation we start with some of the things that will decrease our Eman as I mentioned from the very beginning from from just a few seconds ago, during the month of Ramadan, many of us we felt

00:04:17--> 00:04:22

a an increase of Eman and demand goes up and down and we all feel it.

00:04:24--> 00:04:59

But why did it increase? Or why did it decrease? Well, one of the reasons why the Eman can decrease is us staying far away from staying far being far removed from the environment of righteousness and spirituality. Then Ramadan will be go to the masjid to pray together and we break our fast together. We go to pray and we learn the deen and we break and we see our brothers and sisters and we get together as families to break fast together. That type of environment is environment that's inducing to

00:05:00--> 00:05:02

Increase our EMA and in our faith

00:05:04--> 00:05:19

and so if you're if you're far away from far far away or far removed from that, then naturally your Eman will go down. And that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, but he knows to be like him enough shaytani r Rajim

00:05:20--> 00:05:28

Ella Mia Neely levena Mahmoud Teixeira boo boo me the Quran.

00:05:32--> 00:05:39

When I a coup de una una kita Brahmin Baba new phone. He

00:05:42--> 00:05:42

he

00:05:44--> 00:05:48

sets pulu home, work at the room in

00:05:49--> 00:05:55

Cebu. Allah subhanho wa Taala says,

00:05:57--> 00:06:52

has not the time or has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala and what has come down of the truth and then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, and let them not be like those who are given the Scripture before and a long period passed over them. So their hearts hardened and many of them are defiantly disobedient. Look at theatre minimum fasea Poon Allah subhanho wa Taala, says footballer, he will Ahmed cephalopoda, he will admit that time of revelation of prophethood when the prophets passed away, and when the revelation stopped later on, the hearts became hard and why because of the

00:06:52--> 00:07:20

long distance of the being far removed from the environment of spirituality and righteousness. And so that causes the hearts to harden. And so, one of the ways that we can increase that inshallah we will mention, I will mention later on what we can do, but one of the reasons is that our demand goes down is being far fetched far away from that type of environment. And

00:07:24--> 00:07:36

some of the scholars amongst them will hustle and bustle Li Rahim Allah. He mentioned he said wynona Allah Indeed, I mean Allina. He said, If wynona Albert brothers, I mean the righteous brothers,

00:07:38--> 00:07:51

those who have righteous company, sitting with the scholars and sitting with those students of knowledge and so forth in that environment. He says if Wynonna Avila ended, I mean Alina, he said

00:07:52--> 00:08:43

I brothers are more dear to us than even our families mentioning Why then now he mentioned the reason you might say why I brothers are more dear to us than our families and he says for Luna user Kiruna dunia for Luna user Kiruna dunya y one una user Kiruna Bella Hera, he said our brothers meaning the scholars who he used to study with the teachers and the people who seesaw knowledge with that type of environment. He said, it reminds us our families we mind this of the dounia but those mean though our brothers and our scholars and the people who we hang around with to remind us they remind us of the hereafter. And so, having that that environment helps us or being far from that

00:08:43--> 00:08:50

environment of course, keeps us away, far from that environment decreases our demand. And

00:08:51--> 00:09:20

that brings us to the next point and inshallah I will we will speak about good companionship I have a topic, I think coming up on Sunday, we will elaborate much more on that. But another reason that our Eman decreases is our lack our being far removed from the scholars or those who not only teach theoretically but they also put into practice. What I mean by that is this.

00:09:21--> 00:09:23

I'll give you an example.

00:09:25--> 00:09:26

When we

00:09:28--> 00:09:42

when we as an eye, you know that when I was studying in Medina, and there were a couple of brothers who used to be with me, we used to go to one of the chef's house. We used to study with him

00:09:43--> 00:10:00

and we would learn Tafseer from him. We would learn tafsir from him in at the end of that class, he would always have dinner for us or at least some light snacks after the class is over. One of those in one of those

00:10:00--> 00:10:06

Those days. And one of the sessions that we were with him, his his, his wife was not home.

00:10:07--> 00:10:18

And so he said, when we finished the class, he said, Let's go out. Let's go to the restaurant. And so you went to the restaurant, we went to a restaurant to have dinner.

00:10:19--> 00:10:22

And then one of the one of the brothers after eating,

00:10:23--> 00:10:35

after eating, he took about five or six toothpicks. From that contain, he took the toothpicks, and he put them in his pocket, and he used one.

00:10:36--> 00:10:43

All of us, we saw what had happened. And nothing clicked and no light bulb went off above our heads.

00:10:44--> 00:11:33

The chef looked at me said, Do you not fear Allah? Have you not learned? What we were speaking about? These? this whole time? We were studying Actually, we got to so total Soraka. And he said, Do you remember what a loss has lie? You did? Oh, sorry, rotten. What are Kabir rotten Illa. Allah does not leave anything big or small, except that he holds you accountable for those just toothpicks. Allah will ask you about them. And we're like, Chef, you know, we paid for this meal. We paid for this meal, Ray said, yes, you paid for the meal. But use one or two toothpicks? Yes, Yes, go ahead. But you don't have to take it take enough to fix for the next five meals. Now. If you were the owner

00:11:33--> 00:11:37

of the restaurant, would you want every customer to do that?

00:11:38--> 00:11:54

And then we said, Of course nuts, we'd have to be placed to the pigs every after three or four customers, we'd have to replace the to fix all that. We wouldn't want that, you know. So he said, didn't you learn anything. And just we learned those verses theoretically.

00:11:55--> 00:12:34

But then when we saw it put to practice, we forget we never forgot it. And it affected us differently. And that's why the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, when they used to hear the hilltop, when they used to hear the lessons in the hookah, they did not just only hear it, but they saw the words of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam being put to practice, because he did not just give the hook by and hang out with his wives the whole week. And then you see him again next Friday. No, he used to eat with them. He used to travel with them. He used to accompany them in doing many things, and he used to visit them. And so they used to interact with

00:12:34--> 00:12:55

him. And they could see the actions of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, they could see the teachings of the Quran being embodied in the actions of his in the actions of the Prophet sallallahu herself. And that has a different effect. And that's why one of the greatest one of the most difficult, and the greatest challenges of the youth nowadays, is hearing about good manners and not seeing it.

00:12:57--> 00:12:59

You hear about it, but you don't see it.

00:13:01--> 00:13:16

You see the opposite. You see martial law, the whole top, the lessons being taught, and then you look at the actions of the men of the Muslims, and you don't see it. And it's a great challenge. Because how can you practice something

00:13:17--> 00:13:18

that you do not see?

00:13:19--> 00:13:22

You just hear about it, and you think it's just fairy tales.

00:13:23--> 00:13:32

You think it was just a fairy tale? You think those stories have given half his all his wealth, and almost giving half as well as you think that's all just fairy tales?

00:13:33--> 00:13:40

Well, some of us, we might think they're just fairy tales, because we never see it being done. And that's a great challenge,

00:13:41--> 00:14:04

to be told to do something and not be able to see it at all. And so we need to be with people who learn the knowledge and practice it also. Because that is one of the reasons One of the ways that we increase our knowledge or increase our Eman. Increase our Eman to have that those types of examples to have those types of role models.

00:14:06--> 00:14:34

And if you don't have that, you might say well what am I supposed to do? One of the best ways is to read about the stories and that's why you have stories in the Quran. So that you can see the lessons being taught being put to practice and you at least it's it's not just a something theoretical but something also you can see an example of it to try to at least do your best to put it in into action in your daily lives.

00:14:36--> 00:14:57

Another thing that decreases the person's Eman is being around people who are proud of since being around people who not only do they commit sins, but they commit sins but they're proud of it. Like for example, if you are in a society or in, in around people who glorify Zina

00:14:58--> 00:14:59

In fact, you know

00:15:00--> 00:15:21

You know, some of the challenges that our youth face nowadays is that they go to school. And then some people, they make fun of them. They say, Well, you know, what, how old are you? I said, Well, I'm 16 Are you still a virgin? Oh my gosh, there's something wrong with you. You're 17 you're still a virgin. Like they make fun of you for being for being good for being righteous.

00:15:23--> 00:15:41

And so, when somebody commits a sin, they're proud of it. In fact, nowadays, even on Facebook, and Facebook, you see some of the brothers and sisters at parties, they're like, proud of it. They're proud of it, they show everything. And you know, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said, kulu Mati.

00:15:42--> 00:16:33

My whole, the whole owner will be will be forgiven for isn't Mujahidin except for those who commit sins. And they, they show it openly. I mean, they're committed and they're proud of it. And they're boasting about it. And so you see, being in the company of those who boasts about sin, being a company who can not only do they commit sins, but they boast about sins, that just added pressure. And it causes you to, it causes your Eman to, to come down. And if you're in an environment where you are being influenced, and you're not influencing others, then you have to get yourself out of that environment, because there comes a time when you have to burn the bridges that lead you to the

00:16:33--> 00:16:33

hellfire.

00:16:35--> 00:16:54

And you have to build bridges that will bring you to the agenda, inshallah. So there might be friends of people who you know, but there comes a time when that influence is so great, you might need to just burn that bridge. So you don't burn in the hellfire. Because if you don't burn that bridge, you might burn in the hellfire.

00:16:56--> 00:17:15

And so take yourself away from that environment from those types of people because they only bring you down because they put more added pressure upon you. And another thing that brings a person or that makes a person's Eamon come down is his,

00:17:16--> 00:17:16

his

00:17:19--> 00:17:22

his loving the dunya to the point where

00:17:23--> 00:17:53

that, that guides every aspect of his life and other the money, the dunya drowning in that dunya and following the dunya because you know this is the society that we live in, is a very materialistic society, a society that tells you to buy things you don't need with money you don't have At A Price You Can Afford to impress people you don't even like. And that's why your iPhone is perfect. Until the iPhone six comes.

00:17:55--> 00:18:19

Do you really need it? No, you don't need it. It still works. It's perfectly fine. In fact, the Nokia whatever, Olden? You know, we used to last six months and six days before you had to recharge it remember those days? Right? What do you use it for? Sometimes it becomes even more of a distraction to you than a benefit. And so

00:18:20--> 00:18:24

the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, tallies up the dinar

00:18:25--> 00:19:02

with a set up the dyrham destroyed is the servant of the dinar of the gold coins. In other words, the dune here and money and destroyed is the servant of the Durham, those who go after this dunya and they forget Allah subhanho wa Taala. And of course it's not wrong to have money, but do not be a slave of the money. Money is a very, very beneficial slave. But a terrible master. Don't let it take care Don't let Do not let it take control of you. And so whatever wealth you have, in fact,

00:19:03--> 00:19:08

if nuclear lava he said, led to the room dunya shaker to move.

00:19:09--> 00:19:55

Anything of the dunya that you have would not harm you if you're thankful for it. How can you be thankful of the dunya for the dunya by spending it and using it in the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala It doesn't matter how much money you have. It's a great blessing from Allah. If you are thankful for it and being thankful for it means using it in the obedience of Allah, using it as a bridge and using it as a means to help you strengthen yourself to worship Allah and to be stronger and that's why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Allah azza wa jal upon Allah subhanho wa Taala Has anybody could see in Muslim Lima mud in anzahl Mali epi masala tea with eater

00:19:55--> 00:19:59

is the car. We have. We have sat down for you well to us

00:20:00--> 00:20:31

stablished to help you to establish prayer and to give Zakat to help you to establish plant prayer and to help others in other words, well ocana Livni, Adam widen Hubba Kunal akuna la Ethan, if he were to have a valley of gold, then he would want another Valley added with added on to it. He said, Oh son of Adam, are we not all the sons of Adam? Because there are some people who say, yeah, Allah inshallah, give me $3 million. And I devote myself to your worship.

00:20:32--> 00:20:55

If you if allow me to give you $3 million, you'd probably want another and of course, you would want another one, because you are the son of Adam, also Are you not the son of Adam. So whatever you may have right now, be pleased with it and use it in the obedience of Allah Subhana Allah and, and so the destruction of the dunya. Also,

00:20:56--> 00:21:13

if going after the dunya, and letting it distract you from the obedience of Allah subhanho wa Taala also brings you down, and then brings your event down. And another thing is another type of distraction that Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions

00:21:14--> 00:21:30

is just the people around us our loved ones. And so that also can also bring us down. It doesn't mean that we don't love our children and our wives. But it's just that if you let them distract you, and you let that

00:21:31--> 00:21:36

if you let them cause you to put to the point where you

00:21:37--> 00:22:24

you love them so much that you're willing to do to do things that are displeasing to Allah to please them, then that is not something that's praiseworthy. And that's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says lembu and NEMA. Look and NEMA and welcome Allah do confectioner know that your wealth and your children are fitna. There are tests. And so Allah Subhana tests us with the wealth that that we have in the children that we have, but it doesn't mean that we don't love our our children and our wives and so forth. Because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he himself he said Habiba la Ameen, Mina dunya and Nisa amongst the things in the dunya that I am, I have given our have been given the

00:22:24--> 00:23:13

love of in other words that he loves his woman and leave and fragrances in perfume, wear jewelry, la kurata is Sala, and I find the calmness of my eyes in prayers. And so the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he loved his family, but the love of your family comes after, of course, the love of Allah and His Messenger meaning you do not try to please those whom you love, by doing things that are displeasing to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so that's another thing that brings a person down and this is part of the wealth and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also said in illegally omitted pfitzner indeed, every oma has a fifth never fitna to Almighty

00:23:13--> 00:23:37

Allah, Mal, and the trial the fitna of my own as well. And the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam also mentioned many a hadith related to the dunya. But inshallah we'll move on. And we'll mention another aspect, something that brings a person's mind down. And that that which brings a person's mind down is being concerned or

00:23:38--> 00:24:17

always, or, you know, speaking a lot, and doing a lot of things that do not benefit us. You know, there are a lot of things that we do a lot of knowledge that we can seek, but there's not everything is beneficial to us, especially during, during these times that we're living in right now. Within the information age, you have a lot of information, you have a lot of distractions, also like the internet is very beneficial, but it can also be very distracting, that it takes Facebook, you know, it could be very beneficial as a means of, but at the same time, it can be a great distraction. It could be a fitna also. And so

00:24:18--> 00:24:29

avoid things that don't concern you. Because things that don't concern you bring your Eman down, and they waste your time. And that's why you know, you guys know that.

00:24:30--> 00:24:59

That famous joke, or the famous famous question, Why did the chicken cross the road? You know, I have an answer from the sooner that will end this whole job this whole question that will give an answer and you don't mean you don't need it after this. You don't need to find any other reasons. And what is that? Why did the chicken cross the road? Well, let me tell you the answer the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said min Hostnet Islam and Mark Turku melayani

00:25:00--> 00:25:05

Amongst the excellence of a person's Islam is that he leaves that which doesn't concern him. Who cares?

00:25:06--> 00:25:33

Who cares why the chicken cross the road? It doesn't concern you. Right? So as a Muslim, if it doesn't concern you, who cares? Who cares about it? Those are the things that also bring your mind down when you sit down and chit chat and talk about things that don't benefit you in this life, nor will it benefit you in the hereafter. And so avoiding those things. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, leduc heroes like, don't

00:25:35--> 00:26:00

laugh very last a lot. I mean, all the time, it's okay to smile and laugh and be happy. But let's not that be the only thing that you do. Let them know that hey, Clay nicastro said to me too, but I'll say do not spend your time laughing all the time, only doing that because if you do so very often that it kills, it kills the heart. And so

00:26:01--> 00:26:05

you have to in order to increase her Eman,

00:26:06--> 00:26:51

you have to make sure that you're consistent and you set a level for yourself and minimum requirement for yourself every day to be consistent in the recitation of the Quran, in giving the cuts in seeking knowledge be consistent, even if it's just a small amount, because the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, when he was the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said hydrolat mal at one mo one in bile, the best of deeds are those which are most consistent, even if it's just a small amount. And that's why that's when some of that that's why some of us after Ramadan, we crashed, we have this crash.

00:26:52--> 00:26:56

Why? Because we don't have consistency in our deeds.

00:26:58--> 00:27:36

Ramadan is to help us be consistent and learn and learn to have good habits. When it comes to giving. For the sake of Allah, we do so not just the normal Vaughn. But we do so all the time. Why? Because in Ramadan, it is training for us in when we train, we are asked to use it when the battle starts. But as soon as the battle begins in the enemy is released, we throw all the weapons that we have been given during the month of Ramadan, and we're not consistent. And that's why we lose the battle from the very beginning. And we become the

00:27:38--> 00:27:40

victims of the Day Massacre.

00:27:42--> 00:28:26

And so that is why we have to be consistent and so we don't have that crash. And of course your demand will go up and down the Messenger of Allah sallallahu Assam certainly coolly I'm Alicia, every deed that you do, there is a high point and there's a very a a point where you have a lot of energy. You know, sometimes you have this motivation energy, and then we'll equally share Ratan Tata. And every high point that I've heard that you have concerning any D that you do, it will have its low point for men candidates for throat to who so negative about the Aflac if his low point still remains upon my sadhana, then he is surely he will surely be successful. women cannot elevate

00:28:26--> 00:28:56

his valuable Delica paddock and who's ever low point reaches to the point where he's outside this Oh, beat the sun, I mean, the obedience of Allah, then he will be destroyed. And so we will have low points and high points. But make sure you have at least something consistent and doing good so you don't reach that low point. And so what are some of the things that we can do? I'll go really quickly I've been given note here, that gives me 10 more minutes. And

00:28:58--> 00:29:32

number one, of course, is the it's our connection with the Quran. Not only that our connection with the poor and not just recitation of the Quran, recitation of the Quran, and reflecting upon the meanings also. Allah subhanho wa Taala says well known as the Lumia Anima, who was Shiva warahmatullah. Meaning we have revealed of the Quran that which is Shiva, there is cure here and a mercy for the believers. And so one of the ways that we can

00:29:34--> 00:29:38

increase our Eman Of course in Korean and cure

00:29:39--> 00:29:50

whether it be physical ailments or even spiritual ailments or elements of the heart is recitation of the Quran. And also, another thing that we should do

00:29:51--> 00:29:59

is always remember, and be conscious of a loss of handle if at all times, being conscious of Allah.

00:30:00--> 00:30:44

Meaning knowing, knowing, knowing the attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And being conscious of them, if you know that allies are seeing, then act as if act like he's asking that he knows you at all times, he can see you and he can hear you all times. And that is what we call taqwa. And that's the reason why we are ordered to fast if we're not able to, to get married. Why? Because when you fast, it teaches you to be conscious of Allah. When you're fasting, why is it that you don't drink the water? When you're making Waldo? Because you know that even if you were to drink a small drop, if you were to swallow, just a small drop on purpose, you're fast would not be accepted. And so if

00:30:45--> 00:31:16

you don't do that, even though nobody sees you, so if you do not swallow that water, because you're afraid because you know that Allah knows why are you committing sins, why are you being disobedient to Allah, and that is why fasting is one of the things that helps us to get in touch with Lai Subhana, wa Taala, to be conscious of Allah subhanho wa Taala and being conscious of Allah Of course, increases remember increases our Eman And another thing is Luma halo, halo physical being in,

00:31:17--> 00:31:48

in places where the the words of Allah are mentioned or the gatherings in which Allah subhanho wa Taala is being mentioned meaning being in the company of those who remember Allah and those who seek knowledge being in being in in the in the company of those who teach knowledge. And so this will also inshallah help us increase our Eman because the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said

00:31:50--> 00:32:39

la coruna La Ilaha Toma melodica people do not sit, remembering Allah except that the angels surround them, and the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala envelops them and the Sakina the tranquility befalls upon them with dakka dakka, whom Allah who FEMA named and then Allah subhana wa, Allah somehow mentions them amongst those in the heavens. And so being in the, in the company or being in the company of those who remember Allah and seek knowledge is something that even the companions, they used to remind each other of and they would say, ageless, Bina Mensa, come together, let's come together and believe or have faith, or let's come together in our crease era, man, for, for, for for

00:32:39--> 00:32:42

for a bit for an hour, so and so

00:32:43--> 00:33:24

doing good deeds Also, you want to increase your Eman. Try to do good deeds, because the good deed will lead to another good deed. And if you do good deeds, and Allah will help you do more good deeds and bad deeds will lead to more bad deeds and good deeds will lead to more good deeds. And so if it is difficult for you to do a good deed, then trying to do the little things so that the other things will be cut will come easier for you. And that's why what happened to Matt went up, but he said, I dry I used to drag myself until it cried. In other words, I used to drag myself to force myself to do good deeds until it cried. And then I continued to do so until it smiled. I mean, I kept on doing

00:33:24--> 00:33:56

it. So so then it became easy. And it became habit forming. I mean, it became something that was easier. So the more good deeds that you do, the easier it is to do more good than the if you start doing good deeds, the more easier it is to do more good deeds. And so if you want to increase your Eman, continue to do as much good deeds as you're able to. And if you're, if you want to start then start with something very tough, start with something small, and so that it will help you to do even greater things. And so

00:33:58--> 00:34:03

this is the scholars of before they used to always

00:34:05--> 00:34:44

come together to remind each other and you have done it. You might say well, it's difficult to do good deeds. Well, you know, there are different types of good deeds. You have to understand that gentleman doesn't just have one door. There are some people who might lock guides to prayer, they love to pray. There are some people who love fasting, some people who love to recite the Quran, and there are some people who love other deeds and other acts of goodness. And so there's a lot of acts of goodness, if if you don't feel that you are motivated to do something, then do something else. That's also a good deed, because you have many options. And that's why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:34:44--> 00:35:00

wa sallam he said man amfa possehl Janie feasability la new idiom in a bar Belgian, whoever does two types of deeds, in the surf in the in the path of Allah who or whoever gives two things in the path of Allah, different interpretations.

00:35:00--> 00:35:36

Amongst scholars Fridays he will be called from the doors of Jenin yeah Abdullah has a higher he said oh servant of Allah The door was say Oh sir Allah This is good for mankind I mean Allah so Allah whoever is amongst the people so Allah it means that doesn't mean that they don't they they're the only ones who prey on other Muslims inshallah pray.

Jihad and whoever is motivated in loves Jihad and he will be called from the door of jihad woman CanAm and lscm whoever loves fasting, then he will be called from the door of rayyan when mecanim analisar Takashi Dora Yemen babus sadaqa. And whoever is amongst the people of South Africa gives us a socket and he will be called from the door of South Africa. So it's not just one deed, one type few types of deeds. There are a lot of good deeds and so if you're not motivated to do this, then do that. And so another thing that will increase our Eman in sha Allah is remembering that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, zero means victory has had him and let that

00:36:14--> 00:36:16

remember and mentioned often

00:36:17--> 00:37:02

the destroyer of our pleasures. And so remembering death also increases our Eman and visiting the grave the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He said Allah Nina hate to come and 0203440 half in to the key Docomo f hero. He said indeed before I used to prove it prohibit you from visiting the grave now do so for indeed to remind you of the hereafter. And also remember our last panel and remember death. Remember the hereafter and have your hearts connected to the hereafter. And of course, one of the greatest things that will raise a person's one of the best ways to increase our human is to be in the state of the remote remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah

00:37:02--> 00:37:46

subhanho wa Taala says, well as a Corolla he uncovered indeed the remembrance of a loss of Hannah as the greatest, and the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam even advised us on one of the best things that we can do that we will have an abundance of reward. The Prophet Solomon said lions Allah Lisa Anakata been mythical Allah, keep your tongue wet in the remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And finally, make sure you always ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to increase your Eman asking Allah subhanho wa Taala and seeking help from Allah subhanho wa Taala to increase your Eman doing so often making dua to Allah often. That's why the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he

00:37:46--> 00:38:29

said emanuela Allah Kofi jiofi haidakhan Kamala, so, indeed a man is a man becomes tattered, just like your clothes become stained Nia just become stained. So ask Allah, Allah, Allah, you just did a man people will be coming ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to renew your mind in your hearts. And let me tell you, this is a you know, when the man the Messenger of Allah Salam gave the example of a piece of clothing, like a man. The reason is because if your email if your heart is stained or dirty, or if the man is affected, you can cleanse it, how do you clean your heart? How do you clean your clothing,

00:38:30--> 00:38:49

you wash them, right? And so the same way, when you can wash, you can wash that stain away with your mind, you can strengthen it by repenting to Allah by returning to a loss of Hiawatha and by increasing your good deeds. And so there are many ways to increase our good our man. But

00:38:50--> 00:39:11

make sure you stay in your connection will be connected with Allah subhanho wa Taala every single day. Your five daily prayers are things are one of the things that will continue to have your connection with Allah. So you know, this is the contact number I'm going to give you between you and Allah is 24434. If you miss one number, it goes to the shaitan

00:39:12--> 00:39:32

24434. And so that's why some people they say this, some people they say, Oh, he has a good he has a clean heart. But he doesn't pray. But yeah, but he has a clean heart. No. How can you have a clean heart? And if you don't pray, why? Because it's like saying it's like somebody saying, you know your mouth is my mouth is cleaned, but I don't brush my teeth.

00:39:34--> 00:39:37

How can you say your mouth is clean? If you don't brush your teeth.

00:39:39--> 00:40:00

even imagine if you went three days without brushing your teeth, no one would want to speak to you. And that's why we are affected by the sins that we commit. And so the prayers, you know, the remembrance of Allah and repentance and those things. Those are the things that cleanse our hearts and increase our Eman And so I asked Allah subhanho wa Taala to benefit us from from teachers with that which benefits us and benefits from about

00:40:00--> 00:40:05

What she has taught us, which is that Camilla Hayden or sal Allahu Allah Nabina Muhammad Ali. He was so happy. He was
