It says in his book entitled the Guardians
of the Righteous in the chapter
of the Virtues of Vicar and Encouraging Others
TO Do So.
And Muhaydah Mishurba, may Allah be pleased with
him, narrated that the prophet
used to say at the conclusion of his
prayer,
there is no god there is no true
god except the law. He is the one
and has no partners with him. He is
the sovereignty,
and his and he is and his is
the praise,
and he is omnipotent.
Oh, Allah, none can deny that which you
bestow, and none can bestow that which you
hold back. And the greatness of the great
will be of no avail to them against
you.
So the prophet, salallahu alaihi wasalam, again, this
is another sunnah at the very end of
our prayer when we conclude, when we,
say,
hadith the last hadith we took is when
the prophet would say,
That was the hadith before this
one.
That was the hadith before this one. And
now Imam Anawi brings this hadith, which is
after we say that, we can also say
this
also,
which is,
which firstly is there is no true god
except the law. He is the one that
has no partners with him.
He is his sovereignty.
Is the sovereignty is his.
And is really everything in the dominion.
Everything in the dominion. They call it.
The we
say
he is the owner of the day of
judgment
or or
milk can also mean the dominion, that which
is owned. And Allah
is the owner of it. So we say
So the fact that he has control over
the dominion or the dominion is for him,
for that reason, he deserves what?
Hamd.
And Shukr and all of the manifestations of
worship.
All of them. So when we look at
this, Allah
is showing here yeah. The prophet is showing
here in this beautiful, beautiful zikr at the
very end. Remembering Allah
and his beautiful names.
And he is upon everything,
upon everything,
has the ability,
which
translates to mean he is the omnipotent,
which shows again that
Allah is able to do all things being
that the mulk is in his control,
the dominion is under his authority
and his total control. Therefore, he deserves praise.
And with all of that is under that
that is under his dominion or in his
control and authority because he is its creator.
He is able to do all things within
that dominion, or he's able to do all
things, period.
But from the dominion that he has, know
that he is the manic of the Tazarov.
He is the one that has ultimate control
over what takes place
within
every single element in the dominion
and the dominion itself. So every single element
being that we are human beings, being that
there are animals, being that there's,
nitrogen, oxygen within within the atmosphere,
and then the earth itself and then the
galaxy itself and other galaxies that exist that
we don't know about. All of that is
his monk,
Subhanah. All of that is his dominion, and
he has ultimate control
over that. And then a lot, the prophet
says, oh, a lot, none can deny that
which you bestow, and none can bestow that
which you deny.
And this is important in regards
to what pillar of iman.
First, how many pillars of iman are there,
Jema? 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. Belief in
Allah.
Belief in who else?
The messengers. The messengers. Belief in what? Bookings
and The books. The books.
Belief in what? The angels.
The angels.
Right? Belief in what?
Day after day their judgment. And then belief
in what?
So this statement here,
oh
Allah,
There is no one that can there is
no prohibitor from that which you have given,
and there is no one that can prohibit
what you have given or,
and there is no one that can give
what you prohibit.
What pillar of do you think that this
statement
mostly falls into?
Okay. We have for 200
or 300. Sorry. What's the my list. I'm
sorry. 301.
301.
Anyone else?
The first one, belief in Allah.
Okay. Anyone else? Judgment.
Judgment. Okay. So we say belief in Allah.
How would you explain that?
Okay. So which name would fall in this?
Let's give a name.
Khaleq. Khaleq. Okay. How does this fall into?
So Allah created it, and nothing can stop
its creation.
Right?
Allah even created time.
So no one can withhold what happens within
that frame of time. No one can withhold
that moment. You don't want something to happen?
It happened. Allah created it.
This is what the scholars talk about the
the the 4 elements of other. One of
them is,
which is Allah created that event. That time
frame, he created it.
Nothing can withhold it because Allah allowed it
to happen, that time frame. Hey. So we
said we said Allah. What are the pillar
of of iman? We said what else?
We said. Right?
Predestination.
Okay. How does this tie into predestination?
Exactly. Give me an example.
Anyone?
So did so did Allah will for us
will for us to be here? Yes. Each
okay. Each and every single one of you,
I want you to think of one thing
that could have possibly stopped you from coming
here tonight.
We start the day we say, oh,
There but but what happened?
Allah did not allow it to happen. And
you had that small window of a choice,
and that's what you get rewarded for.
You understand?
But that was still within the qadr of
Allah Subhaata.
There is nothing that will prohibit from what
you have given. Allah has given you and
there's so many things he's given you within
that moment. He's given you the iman to
make the right choice
or the better choice. You're probably away at
home reading Quran,
but you stop reading Quran to come here.
That's better. That's better.
He gave you that strength
to do it.
He gave you the strength to get up
and do it. There is no power or
might as that's why this is set after
the adhan because you need power and strength.
You need strength and transition in order to
get up to come to the prayer. So
you see how this all ties in together?
And
there's no one that can give you what
a loss prohibited. How many of us have
graduated from college and tried to get a
job and then that job didn't work out
or some opportunity. He probably just
may Allah bless you with a nice
9 figure job.
Right?
No one can give what Allah has prohibited.
So this ties into the Qadr big time.
So this is very important, especially after the
prayer. And this is why, you know,
when turning to the salah and turning to
the statement at the very end,
for verily,
the greatness of the great will be of
no avail against, no avail to them against
you.
Anyone that has jid or greatness
will will bring no benefit
if Allah
prohibits it because
from you, greatness emanates emanates
emanates emanates emanates. So anything that we think
is great,
anyone
or any situation
that we think is
irresistible,
know that it is resistible.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has ultimate control over
it. See, when you bring it always back
to Allah, this is what increases
our closeness to him,
our memories with him and of him,
therefore, strengthening your iman to where when you
face a situation
that you wanted, that was taken away from
you, you say
When something was given to you that you
didn't want,
Right? You remember you remember that Allah is
in control of all things. So when we
look at this, for instance, in our in
here, for instance, in Gaza, what is going
on? And in Sudan, it was going on.
And in China, it was going on. And
Afghanistan, and in Yemen. And all these Muslim
countries, may Allah protect them and their iman
and their faith in him. Protect their iman
to where they make this statement to when
something is taken away from them, whether it
is their home, their children, their family members,
their honor honor to a certain degree.
We know the ultimate honor is the honor
with the law
That is the ultimate honor, and that is
the one where we hope that is not
taken away from our brothers and sisters in
law.
You know, this is the most important thing.
Because if the life is taken away,
gives us the clear standard that don't think
that those that have passed away,
that they are dead.
Rather, they are supplied by their lord.
They're they're alive, and they're supplied with their
by their lord
May Allah make us of those that constantly
remember his greatness.
In secret and in open. May Allah make
us of those that remember his beautiful names
and attributes.
May Allah with his greatness and his honor
and his majestic might and his forgiveness make
us of those that seek forgiveness for many
of our shortcomings to when we raise our
hands and he will accept our dua for
our brothers and sisters suffering all around the
world. May Allah help the weakened destitute
while to feed them and nourish them
but most importantly nourish them with the iman.
