Abdullah Oduro – The Comprehensive Call (Part 3)

			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa murni II
		

			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah but Academy the Peace and blessings of Allah be upon you all until we
have reached the second portion of this, where the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, well,
Luke has chakra net Matic or mercenary band critic, I asked you to make me grow tissues and thankful
for your blessings, and to make me of those that worship you and excellence. So the first part is
that we know of shukran arithmetic. As a matter of fact, this was mentioned by more either bingeable
where he said the prophets of Allah Allah was Selim taught them to say this at the end of every
prayer, if you do ridiculous Allah, Allahu Allah, the clicker was sharika was in a bad it takes so
		

			two out of the three, to retreat, be thankful with the blessings you have given me and to be have
excellence in worship. So the first thing is thankfulness. Allah subhanho wa Taala mentioned this in
the chapter of Ebrahim chapter number 14, verse seven. And it says, When your Lord proclaimed, if
you were to be thankful, then he would increase you What if you were to be ungrateful, for various
punishment is severe. So here we understand what he says it other than a robber come there in
Chicago to that as he didn't come, if you were to be thankful I would increase you. And notice he
doesn't mention the object of increase and how much you would increase, it would be only that which
		

			is good for you. But if you were to in cathodic tune, to be ungrateful, for really his punishment is
severe. So notice, he brings a contrast between thankfulness and ungratefulness, obviously, but he
says sugar and Cofer Kaffir tune, as we know kerferd means disbelief. And one of the greatest
characteristics of disbelief is not showing gratefulness to the one that has given you what you have
or what has been given to you also allows upon without his his new chapter of Bukhara when he
mentioned that he brought them a suit that mentions the research of them a book and has given them
what they do not know. He says first quarter Lee of quote unquote, wash Kuru Lee. Well, let's look
		

			for one here. He says, Remember me, I will remember you and be thankful to me and do not be
ungrateful. So here the contrast between gratefulness and gratefulness, the words that are used in
Arabic is beautiful. So when we show thankfulness to Allah subhanho, wa Taala, and be grid tissue
is, we can do that starting with our heart. It's acknowledging, admitting, accepting, and knowing
and hoping that you will be consistent. And that acknowledgement and that acceptance of what Allah
has given you, recognizing that it is a law that gives it to you, recognizing this characteristic of
risk of love of preservation. When you recognize that you're greeted, you're thankful to him for
		

			that, the means of showing that or the way of expressing that is through your limbs, the solar, the
Zakat, re citation of the Quran, which is the other aspect, the third from the tongue. So we have
the heart, the limbs, and the tongue, the vicar of Allah subhana wa Tada. And if you notice upon the
salaat combines all three of these, that you do these actions, particularly that this action you
would not do in any other time of the day. So thankfulness is the first thing that we asked for, to
make us thankful to make us remember you and be thankful upon what you have given us by recognizing
that it is a near miss, that it can be taken away from us easily. And the next thing is personally
		

			by the tick, to have excellence in worship. It's very important here that we separate excellence
from perfection, and come out with the law, that perfection is only with Allah, but we do the best
that we can and that is excellence, doing the best that you can, as a loss of kinda with dialysis in
the chapter of uncut boot, after 11 shift on a regime. Well, Edina, gehad rufina Lana de su
Berliner, were in the Lucha lemma and mercy Nene that those that strive in our path, we will guide
him to our way and very rarely Allah is with the morosini v morosini. The excellence the ones that
do good, that do their best. And that's what Allah wants from you. That's what we're asking him to
		

			make us of those that have excellence in our worship, that we try our best to do our best,
especially when we are at our worst. We ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to make us of those that
worshipping in excellence, and that's why it's upon the verse if you notice, those that do jihad,
they fight against themselves, because we will be at our worst, but we strive to do our best and
that is what Allah subhanho wa Taala loves, as a prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned in
hadith of gibreel. When he mentioned when he asked what is it said, he said, untangled a lot
nichetto to worship Allah as though you see him and though you do not see him know that he sees you
		

			as 700, a scholar and he mentioned in one of his or Saturday, he mentions that it's important for
you to understand two aspects, that your heart is aware that Allah sees you
		

			that you're
		

			aware that Allah sees you, just like if you were to know that a camera was watching you in a room,
and the person behind the camera sees all of you. But imagine if you were to know that that person
that's looking at the TV screen and looking at all 100 of you is looking particularly at you at
every single time with a loss of kind of data is a much greater example. Every single individual and
thing he is looking at. At the same time on this earth. He is never negligent. Just as we see maybe
a cop in the street would be in the street cars are passing, he may see you and he may not see the
with a loss of credit without it that is impossible. So we have a send, our heart is aware that he
		

			is watching us, but we worship Him as though we see him you know that he's watching you, but your
heart is watching him. And that is what he says and does and encourages. It encourages that when you
watch you see something and you know you're being watched at the same time. This is what encourages
a person to do the best that you can malossi panel with that and make us of those that worship him
with insane and excellence and make us of those that show thanks upon everything that he's given us,
a cinema akin to like anybody can say thank you
