Deen Amma bad so we have reached Hikmah number 135 which is page

00:00:19 --> 00:00:25

212 of the book of wisdoms. If not I thought it Allah says, Man

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

currently, while ASA li ke la Mola Cal Karim.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:53

We'll be looking at that part inshallah which is number 135. If

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57

northa Allah says, no one is a companion of yours, except the one

00:00:57 --> 00:01:01

who whilst knowing your defects is still your companion.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

And that is only your Generous Lord.

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

No one is a companion of yours except the one who, while knowing

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15

your defects, is still your companion

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20

takes you for who you are, takes you as you are.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

Knowing your defects, sees the potential in the good in you, and

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

is still your companion. But the one that can fulfill this

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

completely and properly is only Allah subhanaw. Taala is only your

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

Lord, because he knows everything about us even things that we may

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

have forgotten.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

That means the true companion, if a true companion is the one who

00:01:44 --> 00:01:49

takes you how you are as you are, and knows everything about you but

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

still stays with you. That can be nobody other than Allah. So that's

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

the true companion, the true companion can only be Allah

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

subhanaw taala. That's another reason for being with Allah

00:01:59 --> 00:02:04

subhanho wa Taala and for reciprocating that, for

00:02:04 --> 00:02:08

recognizing Allah subhanaw taala as the true companion, wanting to

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

be his companion, fulfilling the rights of that companionship by

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

this once we figured out who the real companion is, we have to

00:02:17 --> 00:02:23

figure out the right way and the reality of his companionship. And

00:02:23 --> 00:02:26

as we know with Allah subhanho wa taala, Allah subhanho wa Taala is

00:02:26 --> 00:02:29

one that we have to have other with. So he is not like any other

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33

companion when we're saying Allah is a companion, meaning he is

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36

somebody who is always going to be with us, somebody who's always

00:02:36 --> 00:02:39

there for us, as a companion, the idea of a companion is that

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

somebody anytime we need them there, we can cry on their

00:02:43 --> 00:02:49

shoulders, we can share our happiness. Now, of course,

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

physically speaking, none of that is possible, possible with Allah.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:55

But the idea is that you've got someone to speak to, you got

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

someone to respond to, you've got somebody who will respond to you,

00:02:59 --> 00:03:00

you got somebody to speak to you.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:06

Somebody to confide in, somebody to pray to somebody to seek help

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

from somebody to seek refuge in somebody to ask for assistance.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:15

That's what we need a companion for to feel good in this life to

00:03:15 --> 00:03:21

remove, unfamiliarity, or in familiarity or strangeness, or

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

loneliness. That's why you need a companion, you need a companion,

00:03:24 --> 00:03:27

there's people who can't survive without people. They always have

00:03:27 --> 00:03:32

to be with people. They always have to have people. So that's why

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

they need somebody or the other.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:39

And sometimes they can't find anybody or their friend has gone

00:03:39 --> 00:03:42

or they've had a little tiff, or they've had a little issue, and

00:03:42 --> 00:03:45

now they can't be with them anymore. So then what happens is,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

they feel all alone again, they feel that they've been let down.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54

And I know that a lot of people will be wondering at this point is

00:03:54 --> 00:03:56

that how do you make Allah subhanaw taala a companion our

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

idea of a companion that we just mentioned, how do I call out to

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

Allah? How do I feel his reciprocation? How does he give me

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

what I would get from someone else, or even more or better?

00:04:08 --> 00:04:12

I guess that's all an experiential that has to be experienced that

00:04:12 --> 00:04:13

has to be done first.

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

Then

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

that is when a person will understand that. But with Allah

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

subhanaw taala, there has to be other there has to be etiquette.

00:04:24 --> 00:04:29

So when Allah subhanaw taala we want him to be that companion we

00:04:29 --> 00:04:32

want to embark on that path that we went Allah subhanaw taala to be

00:04:32 --> 00:04:37

that companion. Then that means we have to fulfill other and

00:04:37 --> 00:04:39

etiquette towards Allah Allah subhanaw taala has told us about

00:04:39 --> 00:04:42

his other so for example, there's a

00:04:43 --> 00:04:49

we will have to have that kind of embarrassment and bashfulness and

00:04:49 --> 00:04:52

etiquette in front of Allah subhanho wa taala. So we what we

00:04:52 --> 00:04:54

don't want to be seen where he doesn't want us to be seen.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:59

And we don't want to be found missing where he wants us to be.

00:05:01 --> 00:05:04

So if he's telling us to be somewhere or expects us to be

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

somewhere and we're not there

00:05:06 --> 00:05:09

Subhan Allah. That's why the very famous Hadith the Prophet

00:05:09 --> 00:05:13

sallallahu sallam said to the Companions, is that you mean Allah

00:05:13 --> 00:05:15

He had called Higher

00:05:17 --> 00:05:23

exercise, modesty, higher exercise modesty with Allah in front of

00:05:23 --> 00:05:25

Allah as much as is the right of that modesty.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

So, they thought they were doing it because they understood a

00:05:29 --> 00:05:34

certain idea of modesty, a certain idea of higher so they said in

00:05:34 --> 00:05:38

Jnana stalking you will Hamdulillah we are we do exercise

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

this higher, and all praises to Allah.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

So the Prophet sallallahu sallam said to them, no, I'll hire Amina

00:05:45 --> 00:05:50

Allah, He hackle higher, that the real hire, to exercise the right

00:05:50 --> 00:05:53

kind of modesty in front of Allah, as much as the right of that

00:05:53 --> 00:05:59

modesty is an Dafa razza whare is very comprehensive is that you

00:05:59 --> 00:06:04

protect the head, and everything that it would include and relate

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

it to the head. That means everything thoughts in the mind,

00:06:08 --> 00:06:12

and things you see with the eyes, things you hear with your ears,

00:06:12 --> 00:06:14

everything that's on the head and face.

00:06:15 --> 00:06:18

So that's how comprehensive comprehensive it is. It's not just

00:06:18 --> 00:06:23

the feeling, it's also an action, it's also something that we have

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

to actually do and the process is making it easy for us that this is

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

how you do it. So everything to do with the head, while Buckner

00:06:30 --> 00:06:35

warmer hubba likewise the stomach and everything that entails and

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

that means obviously food and everything else related to the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:43

food. So here it's just not like I feel a modest you know, I'm a very

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

modest individual. I'm more modest than how arrogant how how much of

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

a braggart the individual is. So I must have modesty

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

you know, I don't go out in front of people like that. I don't dress

00:06:55 --> 00:06:56

like that.

00:06:57 --> 00:07:00

Look at the way he or she dresses I don't do that so I must have

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

higher Yes, that's the level of hire. But the real hire is this is

00:07:05 --> 00:07:10

to take care of everything around the head and and the stomach. So

00:07:10 --> 00:07:15

all the food that we consume. What does coral Cobra well Billa

00:07:16 --> 00:07:20

and the way to do it is to remember the grave

00:07:21 --> 00:07:26

and becoming decomposed in the earth the earth eating us up

00:07:28 --> 00:07:32

that's another level one level is that okay we become in turned

00:07:32 --> 00:07:37

we're in turned into this sub terian earth we're still hole we

00:07:37 --> 00:07:41

still feel like we're something and then to think beyond that that

00:07:41 --> 00:07:44

then everything will come at us and there's a net natural

00:07:44 --> 00:07:49

decomposition, disintegration going back to the earth from where

00:07:49 --> 00:07:54

we originally came in Ha ha canal come off he Hernan II do come from

00:07:54 --> 00:07:58

in her No, Khadija come Tara and okra, to have that concept in

00:07:58 --> 00:08:01

mind, that eventually will be nothing, there'll be nothing left

00:08:01 --> 00:08:05

of us. Everything of us will be worn out, decomposed,

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

returned back to the same atoms of the earth.

00:08:10 --> 00:08:15

As the Hadith mentions only one small amount, it remains.

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

So to think to that level, that is what really tells us who we are.

00:08:20 --> 00:08:23

Because when we're living in this world, we're so confident because

00:08:23 --> 00:08:26

we have so many resources around us.

00:08:27 --> 00:08:31

We have a lot of confidence and security. Because we're getting

00:08:31 --> 00:08:35

our food and our clothing. We're in a relative state of security,

00:08:35 --> 00:08:40

so we don't feel vulnerable at all. That's why being wherever we

00:08:40 --> 00:08:45

are whichever country whichever. Whatever level we're at, when you

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

think of the grave, and especially beyond the grave, that's when a

00:08:49 --> 00:08:52

person really starts wondering, for men for Allah Vertica for

00:08:52 --> 00:08:56

kadhi Statia Amin, Allah He hackled Hyah. So the prophets also

00:08:56 --> 00:09:02

said that finally, whoever does that, whoever fulfills all of this

00:09:02 --> 00:09:04

the head, the stomach protects them and everything related to

00:09:04 --> 00:09:09

them, and then considers the death can consistently considers the

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

death. What's to come after departing this world in the grave

00:09:12 --> 00:09:19

and beyond. Then whoever does that he has truly exercise higher in

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

front of Allah as much as is the right of that higher.

00:09:23 --> 00:09:26

Now, without that, how can Allah be our companion?

00:09:27 --> 00:09:31

How can he accept to be our companion the way? How can we gain

00:09:31 --> 00:09:34

the benefits of that companionship is I guess the right question.

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

Allah is always there for us. But it's us who's preventing that?

00:09:40 --> 00:09:43

We've been given the phone, but we don't bother putting in the

00:09:43 --> 00:09:44

passcode

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

so we can't benefit from it.

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

So

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

your true companion is the one Olivia doula that will always be

00:09:54 --> 00:09:59

your companion, regardless of the situation, and your true companion

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

as he says

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

As a pinata, Allah says is the one who is still your companion, even

00:10:04 --> 00:10:06

though he knows every one of your

00:10:08 --> 00:10:13

unless he knows every one of your defects. Now, some people might be

00:10:13 --> 00:10:17

thinking, some gangster type people, that my friend no matter

00:10:17 --> 00:10:17

how bad I am,

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

right? They steal my friends. They know how bad I am, how crafty I

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

am, how evil I am, but they steal my friends, that must be true

00:10:29 --> 00:10:31

friendship. Well, if that's the kind of friendship you want, then

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

yeah, that's your friend. Remember, you will be with your

00:10:34 --> 00:10:38

friends in the hereafter. So this is obviously speaking to somebody

00:10:38 --> 00:10:42

who wants a sound heart. And they know they've got defects.

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

So the friend we're looking for, is the virtual virtuous friends is

00:10:48 --> 00:10:52

the one with the virtue that we get some benefit from, we can

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

always go back to, to get something for the heart from which

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

is Allah subhanaw taala.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:04

And to be honest, you know, if you look at Friendship, when a friend

00:11:04 --> 00:11:07

finds out something about us, it creates a bit of a

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

bit of a weirdness in that relationship. Because then they

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

have to see how they're going to react to us once they found out.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

So there's a bit of that pretend sickness that comes about Allah

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

subhanaw taala has known even before we create we did the wrong

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

that we were going to do the wrong

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

but he wants us this person would just call me this morning that he

00:11:30 --> 00:11:35

went to another country and committed a haram and peculiar,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

weird type of haram by mistake. He was going to commit one type of

00:11:38 --> 00:11:41

haram but he ended up in another kind of haram and he's having

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

sleepless nights. And he thinks that this is cannot be forgiven.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

Allah forgives everything.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:52

Allah forgives everything all. So then if he forgives everything,

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

then why do people then continue to do well, he forgives everything

00:11:55 --> 00:11:59

as long as he sees from us. As long as he sees from us that we

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

want to repent, we want to change and go back to

00:12:04 --> 00:12:09

Allah, that we want to be closer to him, You can't stay fine except

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

expect him to

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

re

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

rekindle that relationship.

00:12:17 --> 00:12:20

So the greater the sin, the greater we're going to have to

00:12:20 --> 00:12:22

demonstrate that we're coming back because the greater the sin, that

00:12:22 --> 00:12:24

means that's how far we've gone.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

The greater the sin. That's how far we've gone from Allah. Small

00:12:31 --> 00:12:34

sin we've gone a bit far, remember small sin and that it's all

00:12:34 --> 00:12:37

related to the sentiment in our mind why we did it,

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

and the gravity of the sin and so on. So the more we've gone further

00:12:41 --> 00:12:44

away, the more it's going to make an effort to get back, the further

00:12:44 --> 00:12:46

you've gone out, there's going to be more petrol, you're going to

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

have to put in the car to get back.

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

You know, you're gonna have to spend more to get that ticket

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

back. It's cheaper to get to Europe than to get to Australia.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

You know, it's just simple, simple logic like that.

00:12:59 --> 00:13:02

So, of course, it's a grave sin, it can still be forgiven, but

00:13:03 --> 00:13:05

Allah just needs to see that from our heart.

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

But with Allah subhanaw Because he knows anything, there's never a

00:13:10 --> 00:13:14

pretentiousness there. It's always a straightforward relationship as

00:13:14 --> 00:13:15

long as we're open to it.

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

Because Allah subhanaw taala mean, don't you know from

00:13:22 --> 00:13:26

the time that you are accountable, Allah has been

00:13:27 --> 00:13:31

protecting you. Allah has covered so many wrongs and sins that we've

00:13:31 --> 00:13:36

done. From the time that we've been, we can remember, Allah has,

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

so why not? Now? What other friend is going to do that?

00:13:41 --> 00:13:44

Allah has protected, there's so many sins, I mean, if he did not

00:13:44 --> 00:13:47

cover our sins, we would have been finished by now.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:52

And the other thing about Allah is that every time we made an excuse

00:13:52 --> 00:13:54

to Allah, he's accepted it.

00:13:55 --> 00:13:57

And he's given us so many bounties.

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

That's why now look at this verse, right, there's another verse that

00:14:02 --> 00:14:06

relates to this Allah subhanaw taala says in Surah Toba in Allah

00:14:06 --> 00:14:10

has starred Amina Amina and Fusa home What am word whom beaten Nila

00:14:10 --> 00:14:10

Homer agenda?

00:14:13 --> 00:14:16

Allah subhanho wa Taala has purchased has brought but has

00:14:16 --> 00:14:21

bought from us from all the believers, their lives then us

00:14:21 --> 00:14:25

their lives and their wealth. Because he's gonna give us Jana

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

for them. So that deal is done.

00:14:28 --> 00:14:32

He's not offering the deal is done. Right. It's done. He will he

00:14:32 --> 00:14:36

is. Paradise is for us as long as we give Him our soul and our

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

wealth.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:40

Right Now what's really interesting is that all of this

00:14:40 --> 00:14:44

was his anyway, we are His. We belong to Allah anyway.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:50

We say in early LA, we're in LA he rides your own, but he still wants

00:14:50 --> 00:14:52

to give us that he still makes a deal with us. Like that's yours,

00:14:52 --> 00:14:55

but you know what, I'll pretend I'm buying it from you so I can

00:14:55 --> 00:14:55

give you some money.

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

It's all mine anyway, but okay, I'll come

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

Consider it yours, I'll give you some money for it.

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

So it was his, but then he said, I'm going to buy it from you

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

because he wants to incentivize it to give us something for it. So

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

what's the wisdom in all of this? Why did he do that? So many, some

00:15:13 --> 00:15:17

scholars have mentioned three wisdoms in this, of why this

00:15:17 --> 00:15:20

particular transaction took place, the nature of it, what comes from

00:15:20 --> 00:15:21

this? Number one.

00:15:24 --> 00:15:27

If you keep in mind, this idea, and the idea, we said before, that

00:15:27 --> 00:15:32

Allah knows all of our defects, if I buy this phone from you, right,

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

and then it turns out to be faulty.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

If I buy a car from a car dealer, and it turns out to be faulty, I

00:15:38 --> 00:15:40

think they give you a grace period of one month or two months or

00:15:40 --> 00:15:42

three months, I think there's even a law that you can actually take

00:15:42 --> 00:15:45

it back if you find a defect in there that was not declared.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

And in Islamic fiqh law, if I purchase something from you, and

00:15:50 --> 00:15:54

then I find that there's a defect in there, right, which should not

00:15:54 --> 00:15:59

be expected to be in there, then I can exercise my option to return

00:15:59 --> 00:16:00

it. It's called here to live.

00:16:02 --> 00:16:05

However, if I sell you this phone, and I tell you, it's got this

00:16:05 --> 00:16:08

problem, the GPS is not working. And you say, I agree, and you

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

still buy it. Now you cannot return it to me for that defect.

00:16:12 --> 00:16:14

Because it's something that was declared and you were happy with

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

it that way.

00:16:16 --> 00:16:20

So Allah subhanaw taala knows we have defects he still purchased us

00:16:20 --> 00:16:25

with our defects, our our soul, that means from his side, he's

00:16:25 --> 00:16:29

never going to give it he's never going to return that trade. The

00:16:29 --> 00:16:30

trade is done from his side.

00:16:32 --> 00:16:36

Paradise is for us, regardless of how bad we are. As long as we

00:16:36 --> 00:16:40

maintain the Kadima so he's he knows all of our defects, he's not

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

going to return the deal because of our defects.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:46

Number two,

00:16:48 --> 00:16:53

the other benefit of this purchase is so that we feel that obligation

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

to give up ourselves to Him to handover ourselves to Him, because

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

that's what you do. If I've sold you this phone. It's wrong for me

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

to keep it afterwards.

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

In fact, in Islamic faith, if I sell you something, and I say,

00:17:05 --> 00:17:08

I'll send you my car, but let me use it for one week. Because my

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

other cars coming after a week, but I sell it to you now, that's

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

actually incorrect. Because I'm now benefiting from your product

00:17:16 --> 00:17:19

by transaction and that's wrong. If I sell it to you, and it's

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

okay, then you say, would you let me just use it for a week? You

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

don't really need to do okay, now, then it's okay. Because that's a

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

bonus. That's optional. But in the first one, it was linked to the

00:17:29 --> 00:17:32

contract is not right. So now in this case,

00:17:33 --> 00:17:36

once you purchase something, once you sell something, you have to

00:17:36 --> 00:17:40

hand it over. So now Allah has purchased that obligates us, it

00:17:40 --> 00:17:45

makes us feel like once we realize this, how many how many believers

00:17:45 --> 00:17:49

keep this in their mind that we actually owe ourselves to Allah?

00:17:50 --> 00:17:53

They understand we have to, we have to worship, but they don't

00:17:53 --> 00:17:57

understand the transaction. This verse is not in most people's

00:17:57 --> 00:18:00

minds, what do you think that Allah has purchased us? So that

00:18:00 --> 00:18:04

means we must give ourselves up? How many of us ever thought of it

00:18:04 --> 00:18:04

that way?

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

Where Allah is he's purchased us already, there's a deal is done.

00:18:10 --> 00:18:15

So we have to handle that ourselves to Allah. Now, we've

00:18:15 --> 00:18:21

essentially if we do now hand over ourselves to Allah. So if I, if

00:18:21 --> 00:18:25

I'm if I have a sentimental connection to something, but I

00:18:25 --> 00:18:26

have to get rid of it,

00:18:27 --> 00:18:32

right, as in a trade, and I want to find, you know, honestly, this

00:18:32 --> 00:18:36

car, you know, I've really used it well, but it's become too small

00:18:36 --> 00:18:39

for my family, I need to say, but I'd like to see it in somebody

00:18:39 --> 00:18:41

goods hand, you know, sometimes people have that sentimental

00:18:41 --> 00:18:45

value, suddenly sells it to a person and mashallah, after two

00:18:45 --> 00:18:47

years, he sees it again. He's looking at like all 100 That was

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

my car, even though you got nothing to do with that car

00:18:50 --> 00:18:52

anymore. You still feel that connection with that car?

00:18:54 --> 00:18:55

Right? Especially if they're looking after it.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:58

Right? So

00:19:01 --> 00:19:06

with Allah subhanaw taala. He is that entity who looks after things

00:19:06 --> 00:19:10

in the best of ways. So if we are going to hand ourselves over to

00:19:10 --> 00:19:13

him, Allah will look after us in the best of ways.

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

So there's only another bit of benefit in the fact that Allah has

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

done this trade. The second benefit is, He wants us to hand

00:19:22 --> 00:19:25

ourselves over as an obligation. But then we also know that because

00:19:25 --> 00:19:30

Allah is the best of Wiley's, who actually is the best of

00:19:30 --> 00:19:34

caretakers. He is the muda bearer. He is the one who administrates

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

and plans everything he is Hakeem, we're giving ourselves over to the

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

best of those who can do that.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:44

Is these subtle relationships. Hardly anybody thinks about they

00:19:44 --> 00:19:47

know Allah, okay, we must believe him. And we're worried about his

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

punishment and things like that. But this subtle reasoning of what

00:19:51 --> 00:19:54

is this intricate relationship between us and Allah?

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

What is this relationship and now this is coming to light. So Allah

00:20:00 --> 00:20:04

I will look after his property. But let's give him that property

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

first. Let's give ourselves over to him. And the third one is that

00:20:09 --> 00:20:13

Allah has purchased us. So we've become Allah's. So the third

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

wisdom is this attribution to Allah, we are Allah has.

00:20:19 --> 00:20:23

Now, if, if there's someone who's superior,

00:20:24 --> 00:20:28

who everybody looks up to, and you're associated with that

00:20:28 --> 00:20:32

individual, that's another ego boost you get. That's another

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

reason to be proud of that I'm associated to that. And I know

00:20:36 --> 00:20:37

such and such a person. Yeah, I met him.

00:20:39 --> 00:20:39

You know,

00:20:40 --> 00:20:44

last week, I was in Liverpool and I met such and such a player. You

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

know, people, just because you met him, you feel like you're better

00:20:46 --> 00:20:51

than everybody else. Now. Have you seen that? You know, subhanAllah

00:20:52 --> 00:20:56

This is relationships in this world. In fact, you have a T shirt

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

of somebody and you you feel like you're more connected to them now,

00:21:00 --> 00:21:04

you know, you buy a t shirt, or top of a certain player, that

00:21:04 --> 00:21:07

player doesn't know you he may never ever see you never even hear

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

about you in your life, right in his life. But for some reason you

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

feel closer to that player, and that guy doesn't even know about

00:21:12 --> 00:21:13

it.

00:21:16 --> 00:21:21

I just saw what am I little this little girl have a friend and she

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

had couldn't

00:21:23 --> 00:21:29

Aguero, right. So I said it right. And I go, who is that? What is

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

that? What does that mean? Couldn't Aguero because I thought

00:21:31 --> 00:21:34

maybe it's a team. I don't know what it's like, oh, it's a

00:21:34 --> 00:21:37

football player. He's Brazilian, I think and he plays for so and so.

00:21:37 --> 00:21:40

But how did you say correctly? Is it well, Portuguese? I mean, it's

00:21:40 --> 00:21:40

just

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

so I said, does he know you said she said no. And she's like a nine

00:21:46 --> 00:21:49

year old 10 year old guys. No. is ever going to know, you know? So

00:21:49 --> 00:21:51

why do you just like him as a player?

00:21:52 --> 00:21:56

Amazing relationship, you go after something, even though they're

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

never going to know you, you're not going to benefit. Right?

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

You're not going to make any money out of this. You're not going to

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

enhance yourself in any way. Just a psychological thing.

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

You know, subhanAllah just psychological thing. I just really

00:22:09 --> 00:22:13

thought about that. I said, she's only 10 years old. She's found the

00:22:13 --> 00:22:16

player. He will never know her. He's just going to make a bit more

00:22:16 --> 00:22:20

money because his shirt got sold. You're not benefiting anyway, but

00:22:20 --> 00:22:23

that's how you do it. That's how the dunya takes you.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

Now that's Lissa that's what he's talking about. Here is Harun Lita,

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

mom and father living in the hood in this battle Allah subhanahu

00:22:32 --> 00:22:36

wata Allah. Allah wants our Nisbett to him, this word means

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

attribution to Him.

00:22:39 --> 00:22:42

If we don't necessarily want people to say that

00:22:43 --> 00:22:47

we don't necessarily people, on the Day of Judgment said this was

00:22:47 --> 00:22:53

he is from the Lulu she is from the Lulu the people of Allah, that

00:22:53 --> 00:22:57

will make a difference. And the way we need to become a Lulu is to

00:22:57 --> 00:22:58

buy that T shirt.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:00

Not that one.

00:23:01 --> 00:23:05

You know, the t shirt of the right team in the various different ways

00:23:05 --> 00:23:10

that you do that. And there are so many, it's easier. It's free to

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

buy

00:23:13 --> 00:23:18

attribution to Allah, or to attain the attribution of Allah. So the

00:23:18 --> 00:23:21

more ways we can be attributed, you've got people who go after

00:23:21 --> 00:23:27

they want their phone to be Apple phone, they want the iPad to be

00:23:27 --> 00:23:31

iPad and the laptop to be that and distributor and the watch and

00:23:31 --> 00:23:35

everything. Again, those guys are just making money off you.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:39

And here you are feeling like you're better than everybody else,

00:23:39 --> 00:23:41

because you spent all that money Mashallah.

00:23:42 --> 00:23:46

So the more things there are, but the only way we're going to do

00:23:46 --> 00:23:48

that with Allah is if we start understanding the relationship and

00:23:48 --> 00:23:50

what benefit we're gonna get the true benefits.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

All of these other things they get worn out with a relationship with

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

Allah in sha Allah only gets enhanced.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:05

Allahu Akbar. Now, that's Allah, right to us. companionship.

00:24:06 --> 00:24:10

There's one Hadith in which the Prophet told us

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

to call Allah subhanaw taala our companion.

00:24:16 --> 00:24:20

So there's actually a hadith which makes this very clear. It's in a

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

very particular context. And the hadith is a dua The door is one,

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

it's the Tao of traveling. Right? Because generally, when you're

00:24:28 --> 00:24:30

traveling, you're a lot more vulnerable. You have to rely on

00:24:30 --> 00:24:32

others, sometimes strangers because when you're in your

00:24:32 --> 00:24:37

hometown, you got family, friends, neighbors, your home, right,

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

everything around you, but when you're traveling, you're in a

00:24:39 --> 00:24:42

strange place. So people buy insurance these days for that.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:46

is traveling insurance. Halal is the big question of the day.

00:24:46 --> 00:24:52

Right? That's kind of what they say. So we're told in our dua,

00:24:52 --> 00:24:56

when we travel is one of the one of the lines in days of Allah and

00:24:56 --> 00:24:58

the Sahib is suffer.

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

You are the king

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

HANYAN in the journey

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

he's a companion our whole life, the journey of this life. But we

00:25:06 --> 00:25:09

generally don't feel vulnerable when we're at home, unless we're

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

suffering. But when you're traveling you need that. So in

00:25:13 --> 00:25:18

that case, Allah actually tells us to call him the Sahib. So he means

00:25:18 --> 00:25:18

companion.

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

The word Sahaba comes from the same place under saw him with his

00:25:22 --> 00:25:27

suffer. Now, how do we gain so fine? Now we've understood

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

Inshallah, the importance of this relationship. We've understood the

00:25:30 --> 00:25:32

subtlety and the significance and the benefit of this, how do we

00:25:32 --> 00:25:37

gain this relationship? So just very briefly, two ideas, that

00:25:37 --> 00:25:43

which is going to encourage an increase this relationship, and

00:25:43 --> 00:25:45

that which is going to make firm the love

00:25:47 --> 00:25:51

and the bond are two things. Number one, from Allah aside, it's

00:25:51 --> 00:25:55

all happening already. He's the one who knows our wrongs, our

00:25:55 --> 00:26:00

defects, our vices, our bad thoughts, he still protects us.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:06

And in fact, he still is there for us. He is acting with forbearance,

00:26:06 --> 00:26:11

the hill forbearance, and he is willing to pardon overlook, so

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

from his side, he's doing everything.

00:26:14 --> 00:26:16

We just have to do our side of the pond,

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

our side of the deal. So he's doing all of that.

00:26:22 --> 00:26:26

Allah has enough attributes of being Haleem and with the food and

00:26:26 --> 00:26:31

everything, so he's doing his part. And the second thing is that

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

Allah subhanaw taala is telling us to worship Him,

00:26:36 --> 00:26:42

to give him his do, not that he needs it. He is independent. And

00:26:42 --> 00:26:46

he is enriched even without any worship from us, but he wants to

00:26:46 --> 00:26:51

benefit us. He says, Okay, you do my worship. You remember me by

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

doing my vicar by mentioning all of these words. I said, if we

00:26:55 --> 00:27:02

cannot, regularly speaking, do some Istighfar some salawat and

00:27:02 --> 00:27:06

the prophets Allah wa salam, and some vicar of la ilaha illa, Allah

00:27:06 --> 00:27:10

Subhanallah Al hamdu, lillah, Allahu Akbar, everyday regularly,

00:27:10 --> 00:27:15

what are we getting from this life, it is just like wearing that

00:27:15 --> 00:27:18

T shirt and not getting anything from that. We're not getting

00:27:18 --> 00:27:19

anything out of it.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

That's why the minimum that must happen is that we must have a

00:27:23 --> 00:27:27

certain amount of aside from our salah, which is obligatory, we

00:27:27 --> 00:27:31

need to show Allah that we're doing more than what is the basics

00:27:31 --> 00:27:32

we need to do to just maintain.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

So that means to do this additional thicker so that we

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

become of those who remember Allah Who

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

a companion is only good if he's remembered.

00:27:42 --> 00:27:45

What is the point of a companion, so Allah is doing his side of the

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

deal. We just have to do our side by remembering him more. And the

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

minimum is just to 100 istikhara in the morning and evening 100

00:27:53 --> 00:27:56

Salawat in the morning and evening because we owe it to Rasul Allah.

00:27:56 --> 00:28:00

And whatever we do for a surah Allah, Allah loves it as well. And

00:28:01 --> 00:28:04

the Karim Allah, Allah illallah 100 times morning 100 times even

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

read a bit of Quran. So have that much amount that we must do every

00:28:08 --> 00:28:11

day. Whatever, however much you're comfortable to start with that

00:28:11 --> 00:28:15

much and just do it every day. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will

00:28:15 --> 00:28:19

fulfill and will start reaping the benefits of his side of the deal

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

as well.

00:28:22 --> 00:28:26

So may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to be His true companions, may

00:28:26 --> 00:28:33

Allah allow us to look at him and to in to really regard him in the

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

correct way and to understand this relationship better and make it a

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

reality for us. So I will read to you what Sheikh Abdullah Congo, he

00:28:41 --> 00:28:45

says on this HECM and then the segment then we'll carry on the

00:28:45 --> 00:28:48

friendship. He says the friendship of worldly people is generally

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

very fickle. It's very

00:28:53 --> 00:28:59

it's very loose, it's very light, it can be broken very easily. When

00:28:59 --> 00:29:05

they discover your faults, they will cut ties develop a dislike

00:29:05 --> 00:29:10

for the one who was a former friend. But the Creator maintains

00:29:10 --> 00:29:14

his relationship with his servants. Despite being aware of

00:29:14 --> 00:29:19

the innumerable deficiencies from when we were on when we were born,

00:29:20 --> 00:29:24

only he should be once true companion. For despite having full

00:29:24 --> 00:29:27

knowledge of the faults of his servants, he is always there for

00:29:27 --> 00:29:28

people to turn to.

00:29:30 --> 00:29:34

He's always there for us to turn to when we need him. But Allah who

00:29:34 --> 00:29:37

have cultivated in themselves states of excellence also maintain

00:29:37 --> 00:29:40

their relationship with the person. After their discovery,

00:29:40 --> 00:29:43

they discovered defects. He's going on to a bit of a different

00:29:43 --> 00:29:47

subject we'll cover next time Inshallah, the idea is that the

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

people of Allah also like Allah, they've taken on the

00:29:50 --> 00:29:55

characteristic of Allah, that they are the ones who will never leave

00:29:55 --> 00:29:58

you even if they find your defect, because they're looking for a

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

higher goal.

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

They are the only true friends in this world besides Allah

00:30:06 --> 00:30:08

after Allah subhana wa Tada if you want to make friendship with

00:30:08 --> 00:30:11

anybody then make the friendship with people of Allah because they

00:30:11 --> 00:30:15

won't give you up. They will be there for you. Even when they

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

discover you've done wrong they will try to help you overcome that

00:30:17 --> 00:30:17

wrong.

00:30:19 --> 00:30:20

So inshallah we will look at that next time.

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25

Aloha men to Scylla and women consider metabolically
