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

It says in his book entitled the Guardians

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

of the Righteous in the chapter

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

of the Virtues of Vicar and Encouraging Others

00:00:42--> 00:00:43

TO Do So.

00:01:06--> 00:01:09

And Muhaydah Mishurba, may Allah be pleased with

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

him, narrated that the prophet

00:01:11--> 00:01:13

used to say at the conclusion of his

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

prayer,

00:01:16--> 00:01:17

there is no god there is no true

00:01:17--> 00:01:19

god except the law. He is the one

00:01:19--> 00:01:22

and has no partners with him. He is

00:01:22--> 00:01:22

the sovereignty,

00:01:23--> 00:01:25

and his and he is and his is

00:01:25--> 00:01:26

the praise,

00:01:27--> 00:01:28

and he is omnipotent.

00:01:28--> 00:01:31

Oh, Allah, none can deny that which you

00:01:31--> 00:01:34

bestow, and none can bestow that which you

00:01:34--> 00:01:36

hold back. And the greatness of the great

00:01:37--> 00:01:40

will be of no avail to them against

00:01:40--> 00:01:41

you.

00:01:42--> 00:01:44

So the prophet, salallahu alaihi wasalam, again, this

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

is another sunnah at the very end of

00:01:45--> 00:01:47

our prayer when we conclude, when we,

00:01:48--> 00:01:49

say,

00:01:49--> 00:01:52

hadith the last hadith we took is when

00:01:52--> 00:01:53

the prophet would say,

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

That was the hadith before this

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

one.

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

That was the hadith before this one. And

00:02:03--> 00:02:05

now Imam Anawi brings this hadith, which is

00:02:05--> 00:02:07

after we say that, we can also say

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

this

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

also,

00:02:09--> 00:02:10

which is,

00:02:13--> 00:02:15

which firstly is there is no true god

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

except the law. He is the one that

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

has no partners with him.

00:02:20--> 00:02:21

He is his sovereignty.

00:02:22--> 00:02:24

Is the sovereignty is his.

00:02:25--> 00:02:28

And is really everything in the dominion.

00:02:29--> 00:02:31

Everything in the dominion. They call it.

00:02:32--> 00:02:33

The we

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

say

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

he is the owner of the day of

00:02:37--> 00:02:38

judgment

00:02:38--> 00:02:39

or or

00:02:40--> 00:02:42

milk can also mean the dominion, that which

00:02:42--> 00:02:44

is owned. And Allah

00:02:44--> 00:02:46

is the owner of it. So we say

00:02:49--> 00:02:52

So the fact that he has control over

00:02:52--> 00:02:54

the dominion or the dominion is for him,

00:02:55--> 00:02:57

for that reason, he deserves what?

00:02:58--> 00:02:59

Hamd.

00:03:01--> 00:03:04

And Shukr and all of the manifestations of

00:03:04--> 00:03:05

worship.

00:03:06--> 00:03:08

All of them. So when we look at

00:03:08--> 00:03:09

this, Allah

00:03:09--> 00:03:11

is showing here yeah. The prophet is showing

00:03:11--> 00:03:13

here in this beautiful, beautiful zikr at the

00:03:13--> 00:03:15

very end. Remembering Allah

00:03:15--> 00:03:16

and his beautiful names.

00:03:22--> 00:03:24

And he is upon everything,

00:03:25--> 00:03:26

upon everything,

00:03:26--> 00:03:27

has the ability,

00:03:28--> 00:03:28

which

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

translates to mean he is the omnipotent,

00:03:32--> 00:03:33

which shows again that

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

Allah is able to do all things being

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

that the mulk is in his control,

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

the dominion is under his authority

00:03:40--> 00:03:43

and his total control. Therefore, he deserves praise.

00:03:44--> 00:03:46

And with all of that is under that

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

that is under his dominion or in his

00:03:48--> 00:03:50

control and authority because he is its creator.

00:03:51--> 00:03:53

He is able to do all things within

00:03:53--> 00:03:55

that dominion, or he's able to do all

00:03:55--> 00:03:56

things, period.

00:03:56--> 00:03:58

But from the dominion that he has, know

00:03:58--> 00:04:00

that he is the manic of the Tazarov.

00:04:00--> 00:04:02

He is the one that has ultimate control

00:04:02--> 00:04:04

over what takes place

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

within

00:04:05--> 00:04:07

every single element in the dominion

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

and the dominion itself. So every single element

00:04:10--> 00:04:12

being that we are human beings, being that

00:04:12--> 00:04:14

there are animals, being that there's,

00:04:15--> 00:04:17

nitrogen, oxygen within within the atmosphere,

00:04:17--> 00:04:19

and then the earth itself and then the

00:04:19--> 00:04:22

galaxy itself and other galaxies that exist that

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

we don't know about. All of that is

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

his monk,

00:04:25--> 00:04:27

Subhanah. All of that is his dominion, and

00:04:27--> 00:04:28

he has ultimate control

00:04:29--> 00:04:31

over that. And then a lot, the prophet

00:04:31--> 00:04:33

says, oh, a lot, none can deny that

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

which you bestow, and none can bestow that

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

which you deny.

00:04:40--> 00:04:41

And this is important in regards

00:04:42--> 00:04:44

to what pillar of iman.

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

First, how many pillars of iman are there,

00:04:47--> 00:04:50

Jema? 6. 6. 6. 6. 6. Belief in

00:04:50--> 00:04:50

Allah.

00:04:51--> 00:04:52

Belief in who else?

00:04:53--> 00:04:56

The messengers. The messengers. Belief in what? Bookings

00:04:56--> 00:04:57

and The books. The books.

00:04:57--> 00:04:59

Belief in what? The angels.

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

The angels.

00:05:02--> 00:05:03

Right? Belief in what?

00:05:04--> 00:05:07

Day after day their judgment. And then belief

00:05:07--> 00:05:07

in what?

00:05:09--> 00:05:10

So this statement here,

00:05:11--> 00:05:11

oh

00:05:14--> 00:05:15

Allah,

00:05:16--> 00:05:17

There is no one that can there is

00:05:17--> 00:05:19

no prohibitor from that which you have given,

00:05:20--> 00:05:21

and there is no one that can prohibit

00:05:21--> 00:05:23

what you have given or,

00:05:24--> 00:05:25

and there is no one that can give

00:05:25--> 00:05:26

what you prohibit.

00:05:27--> 00:05:28

What pillar of do you think that this

00:05:28--> 00:05:29

statement

00:05:29--> 00:05:31

mostly falls into?

00:05:32--> 00:05:34

Okay. We have for 200

00:05:36--> 00:05:38

or 300. Sorry. What's the my list. I'm

00:05:38--> 00:05:39

sorry. 301.

00:05:41--> 00:05:42

301.

00:05:43--> 00:05:43

Anyone else?

00:05:45--> 00:05:47

The first one, belief in Allah.

00:05:48--> 00:05:49

Okay. Anyone else? Judgment.

00:05:54--> 00:05:55

Judgment. Okay. So we say belief in Allah.

00:05:55--> 00:05:57

How would you explain that?

00:06:08--> 00:06:10

Okay. So which name would fall in this?

00:06:10--> 00:06:11

Let's give a name.

00:06:13--> 00:06:15

Khaleq. Khaleq. Okay. How does this fall into?

00:06:19--> 00:06:21

So Allah created it, and nothing can stop

00:06:21--> 00:06:22

its creation.

00:06:23--> 00:06:24

Right?

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

Allah even created time.

00:06:28--> 00:06:30

So no one can withhold what happens within

00:06:31--> 00:06:32

that frame of time. No one can withhold

00:06:32--> 00:06:35

that moment. You don't want something to happen?

00:06:35--> 00:06:36

It happened. Allah created it.

00:06:38--> 00:06:39

This is what the scholars talk about the

00:06:39--> 00:06:41

the the 4 elements of other. One of

00:06:41--> 00:06:42

them is,

00:06:42--> 00:06:45

which is Allah created that event. That time

00:06:45--> 00:06:46

frame, he created it.

00:06:47--> 00:06:49

Nothing can withhold it because Allah allowed it

00:06:49--> 00:06:52

to happen, that time frame. Hey. So we

00:06:52--> 00:06:53

said we said Allah. What are the pillar

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

of of iman? We said what else?

00:06:57--> 00:06:58

We said. Right?

00:06:59--> 00:06:59

Predestination.

00:07:00--> 00:07:01

Okay. How does this tie into predestination?

00:07:15--> 00:07:17

Exactly. Give me an example.

00:07:20--> 00:07:21

Anyone?

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

So did so did Allah will for us

00:07:31--> 00:07:33

will for us to be here? Yes. Each

00:07:33--> 00:07:35

okay. Each and every single one of you,

00:07:35--> 00:07:36

I want you to think of one thing

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

that could have possibly stopped you from coming

00:07:38--> 00:07:39

here tonight.

00:07:41--> 00:07:43

We start the day we say, oh,

00:07:49--> 00:07:51

There but but what happened?

00:07:52--> 00:07:54

Allah did not allow it to happen. And

00:07:54--> 00:07:55

you had that small window of a choice,

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

and that's what you get rewarded for.

00:07:58--> 00:07:59

You understand?

00:07:59--> 00:08:01

But that was still within the qadr of

00:08:01--> 00:08:02

Allah Subhaata.

00:08:04--> 00:08:06

There is nothing that will prohibit from what

00:08:06--> 00:08:08

you have given. Allah has given you and

00:08:08--> 00:08:09

there's so many things he's given you within

00:08:09--> 00:08:11

that moment. He's given you the iman to

00:08:11--> 00:08:12

make the right choice

00:08:13--> 00:08:14

or the better choice. You're probably away at

00:08:14--> 00:08:15

home reading Quran,

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

but you stop reading Quran to come here.

00:08:18--> 00:08:18

That's better. That's better.

00:08:20--> 00:08:21

He gave you that strength

00:08:21--> 00:08:22

to do it.

00:08:25--> 00:08:26

He gave you the strength to get up

00:08:26--> 00:08:27

and do it. There is no power or

00:08:27--> 00:08:29

might as that's why this is set after

00:08:29--> 00:08:32

the adhan because you need power and strength.

00:08:32--> 00:08:34

You need strength and transition in order to

00:08:34--> 00:08:36

get up to come to the prayer. So

00:08:36--> 00:08:38

you see how this all ties in together?

00:08:39--> 00:08:39

And

00:08:40--> 00:08:41

there's no one that can give you what

00:08:41--> 00:08:43

a loss prohibited. How many of us have

00:08:43--> 00:08:44

graduated from college and tried to get a

00:08:44--> 00:08:46

job and then that job didn't work out

00:08:47--> 00:08:50

or some opportunity. He probably just

00:08:50--> 00:08:52

may Allah bless you with a nice

00:08:52--> 00:08:53

9 figure job.

00:08:55--> 00:08:56

Right?

00:08:57--> 00:09:00

No one can give what Allah has prohibited.

00:09:00--> 00:09:03

So this ties into the Qadr big time.

00:09:03--> 00:09:05

So this is very important, especially after the

00:09:05--> 00:09:08

prayer. And this is why, you know,

00:09:08--> 00:09:10

when turning to the salah and turning to

00:09:10--> 00:09:12

the statement at the very end,

00:09:13--> 00:09:14

for verily,

00:09:14--> 00:09:16

the greatness of the great will be of

00:09:16--> 00:09:18

no avail against, no avail to them against

00:09:18--> 00:09:19

you.

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

Anyone that has jid or greatness

00:09:23--> 00:09:25

will will bring no benefit

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

if Allah

00:09:26--> 00:09:27

prohibits it because

00:09:28--> 00:09:31

from you, greatness emanates emanates

00:09:32--> 00:09:33

emanates emanates emanates. So anything that we think

00:09:33--> 00:09:34

is great,

00:09:34--> 00:09:35

anyone

00:09:35--> 00:09:36

or any situation

00:09:37--> 00:09:38

that we think is

00:09:38--> 00:09:39

irresistible,

00:09:39--> 00:09:40

know that it is resistible.

00:09:41--> 00:09:43

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has ultimate control over

00:09:43--> 00:09:45

it. See, when you bring it always back

00:09:45--> 00:09:47

to Allah, this is what increases

00:09:47--> 00:09:49

our closeness to him,

00:09:50--> 00:09:52

our memories with him and of him,

00:09:52--> 00:09:55

therefore, strengthening your iman to where when you

00:09:55--> 00:09:56

face a situation

00:09:56--> 00:09:59

that you wanted, that was taken away from

00:09:59--> 00:10:00

you, you say

00:10:01--> 00:10:03

When something was given to you that you

00:10:03--> 00:10:04

didn't want,

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

Right? You remember you remember that Allah is

00:10:11--> 00:10:13

in control of all things. So when we

00:10:13--> 00:10:15

look at this, for instance, in our in

00:10:15--> 00:10:16

here, for instance, in Gaza, what is going

00:10:16--> 00:10:18

on? And in Sudan, it was going on.

00:10:18--> 00:10:19

And in China, it was going on. And

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

Afghanistan, and in Yemen. And all these Muslim

00:10:22--> 00:10:24

countries, may Allah protect them and their iman

00:10:24--> 00:10:26

and their faith in him. Protect their iman

00:10:26--> 00:10:27

to where they make this statement to when

00:10:27--> 00:10:29

something is taken away from them, whether it

00:10:29--> 00:10:32

is their home, their children, their family members,

00:10:32--> 00:10:35

their honor honor to a certain degree.

00:10:36--> 00:10:38

We know the ultimate honor is the honor

00:10:38--> 00:10:38

with the law

00:10:40--> 00:10:41

That is the ultimate honor, and that is

00:10:41--> 00:10:43

the one where we hope that is not

00:10:43--> 00:10:44

taken away from our brothers and sisters in

00:10:44--> 00:10:45

law.

00:10:45--> 00:10:47

You know, this is the most important thing.

00:10:47--> 00:10:49

Because if the life is taken away,

00:10:52--> 00:10:54

gives us the clear standard that don't think

00:10:54--> 00:10:56

that those that have passed away,

00:10:56--> 00:10:57

that they are dead.

00:10:59--> 00:11:01

Rather, they are supplied by their lord.

00:11:02--> 00:11:05

They're they're alive, and they're supplied with their

00:11:05--> 00:11:05

by their lord

00:11:07--> 00:11:09

May Allah make us of those that constantly

00:11:09--> 00:11:10

remember his greatness.

00:11:11--> 00:11:13

In secret and in open. May Allah make

00:11:13--> 00:11:15

us of those that remember his beautiful names

00:11:15--> 00:11:15

and attributes.

00:11:16--> 00:11:18

May Allah with his greatness and his honor
