The HECM and HECM have a concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept of "we" in relation to the concept

Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

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

Salatu was Salam ala Murthy Ramadan Lila right I mean, while

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

he was sabe Abba raka was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira on Ilario

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

Medina Amma back

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

to continue with our series on

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

the HECM, the aphorisms of Ignacio Allah al Eskandari with the

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

commentary of Congo he

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

the next one, he says Ignatov Allah says

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

it's 100 it's

00:00:38 --> 00:00:45

heckum it's the 101 number 101 letter O Hasha. Come in called P

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

farlam. And know who you really do if you have to halacha Burble ncbe

00:00:51 --> 00:00:57

Mata o hasha kemin Halki fer LM Anna who URI do a F to halacha

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

burble on CB

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

when he alienates you from his creatures, when he makes you feel

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

aloof from his creatures not wanting to be with them, then know

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

that he wants to open for you the door of intimacy with Him.

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

The door of companionship with him, the door of familiarity with

00:01:20 --> 00:01:24

him, comforted being comforted by him, there's two terms that are

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27

being used here and being juxtaposed or contrasted. And the

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

first one is washer, and the second one is owns. So you have

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

this thing about washer and owns washer means when you feel a

00:01:35 --> 00:01:38

strange somewhere, when you don't feel in harmony, you don't feel

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41

familiar, you feel that it's all strange.

00:01:42 --> 00:01:47

So this is basically page 200 of the of the book. So you feel a

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

strange, you don't feel familiar you feel out of place, you don't

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54

seem to know anybody, you don't feel comforted by them. So that's

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57

what you call watcher. And the opposite is odds on says

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

familiarity, being comforted being familiar, being

00:02:03 --> 00:02:09

satisfied, and pleased then feeling comfortable there. So

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

that's the opposite. So what he's saying essentially here

00:02:12 --> 00:02:16

is that whenever you feel that you don't want to be with people, and

00:02:16 --> 00:02:19

you suddenly start feeling that you know what I no longer like to

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

be with people. Like I have to be with people because this we're

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

social creatures, so we have to interact with one another. But I

00:02:26 --> 00:02:30

don't really like to be with them. I'd rather so if I don't like to

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

be with them. That much is not enough. Because there's a lot of

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

people who don't like to be with people, maybe even in real life.

00:02:37 --> 00:02:40

But then they go home, or they're sitting on their phone or iPad or

00:02:40 --> 00:02:44

whatever they with many, many people otherwise, or just playing

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45

games, they're not with anybody but they're just playing games and

00:02:45 --> 00:02:48

even that requires being with people today because you interact

00:02:48 --> 00:02:51

virtually. This is talking about when you don't want to be with

00:02:51 --> 00:02:55

people but you feel most comforted by remembering Allah subhanaw

00:02:55 --> 00:03:00

taala by making a few Salawat extra Salah by making a bit more

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

vicar and remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala so if a person

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

feels like that, then he doesn't feel that a this is strange, or

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

while it may feel strange, but the person must not feel that this is

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

a bad thing. This is actually a good thing. Because a lot of

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19

people to return to Allah subhanho wa Taala to focus more on him him

00:03:19 --> 00:03:23

becoming a priority, person gaining pleasure, more comfort, in

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

the unfamiliarity with the vicar of Allah subhanho wa taala. That's

00:03:27 --> 00:03:30

not something always easy for most people. Because it's much easier

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

to be with your own type.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

another human being to joke to laugh, to eat together to sit

00:03:37 --> 00:03:37

together,

00:03:38 --> 00:03:43

and so on and so forth. So this is actually a sign from Allah that He

00:03:43 --> 00:03:48

has opened up the door because Allah doesn't open up to everybody

00:03:48 --> 00:03:51

except those who want and who try and who make an effort. So know

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

that this is one hurdle that you've passed.

00:03:56 --> 00:03:57

So

00:03:59 --> 00:04:03

this is basically the sunnah to Allah, He hulky. This is

00:04:03 --> 00:04:06

essentially the way of Allah this is the divine order, that when

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

Allah wants somebody to be closer to Him, He will pull him towards

00:04:10 --> 00:04:14

him and make him feel estranged from others. Allah has that power.

00:04:14 --> 00:04:17

This is what everybody in the world likes to do when they want

00:04:17 --> 00:04:21

somebody to be with them. They try to attract their attention to them

00:04:21 --> 00:04:26

companies do that. People who love others do that they want their

00:04:26 --> 00:04:29

entire focus to be on them. So they try to do various things to

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

attract the attention. And two, they like it when they are not

00:04:32 --> 00:04:36

focusing on anybody else. This is what you call love as well. This

00:04:36 --> 00:04:39

is what love that you want your beloved to be just focused on you.

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

Likewise company do this. Companies do this that they make

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

you feel affinity towards them, your workplace and so on so that

00:04:46 --> 00:04:48

you don't look elsewhere that you feel comfortable.

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

So if it comes from Allah subhanaw taala that's the greatest thing

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

that any servant can have. And this is the sunnah to Allah. This

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

is the Divine Order of Allah subhanho wa Taala in the world

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

When Allah subhanho wa Taala wants to give familiarity and comfort

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

with the remembrance of Allah to one of his servants, then

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

basically he starts opening up himself to them in the sense of

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

them understanding who he is recognizing Him recognizing

00:05:17 --> 00:05:20

everything is coming from him, and all benefits will come from him.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

And thus they feel that they can't benefit from creatures anymore in

00:05:23 --> 00:05:26

the way that they thought that they could do initially, then they

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

will start being in his service, they will feel comfortable in

00:05:30 --> 00:05:34

being his service in his service, and they will also be inspired to

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

remember him. So Allah will open up the doors for them to remember

00:05:38 --> 00:05:41

him in the right way. Now, then, what happens is that when such a

00:05:41 --> 00:05:46

person spends a time doing that, his heart

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

will become filled with the lights of Allah, with the knower of

00:05:50 --> 00:05:54

Allah. And that is when they will eventually start receiving the

00:05:54 --> 00:05:59

Halawa to Iman, the sweetness of faith, the sweetness of feeling

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

the presence of Allah.

00:06:02 --> 00:06:07

And once that happens, then Allah wants this person to be of service

00:06:07 --> 00:06:12

to others. So he will then return this individual back to them back

00:06:12 --> 00:06:13

to the people,

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

a person will after all of this time, however long that takes it

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

takes different times for different people. And this is

00:06:21 --> 00:06:24

essentially what the spiritual path is trying to get a person to

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

do, to give that connection to Allah to provide that link. And

00:06:28 --> 00:06:31

then once you're linked and the heart is filled with the right,

00:06:31 --> 00:06:35

light from Allah subhanaw taala, then Allah returns, wants the

00:06:35 --> 00:06:40

person to go back to the people, because now he's in a position

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

where they can benefit from this person, and he will not take

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

anything wrong from them. He's been secured, he's no longer going

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

to be influenced negatively by the people, but rather, he's powerful

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

enough that they will be influenced by him.

00:06:56 --> 00:07:00

This tells us several very big things, think about it. For

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

example,

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

if not Jeeva gives a really wonderful example. He says that

00:07:05 --> 00:07:11

when you're trying to when you're trying to light a lamp, not not an

00:07:11 --> 00:07:14

electric lamp, those just come on straight. And that's it. But we're

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

talking about the good old days when you're trying to lamp lighter

00:07:17 --> 00:07:23

wick, right, or let's take a barbecue. Once when you're trying

00:07:23 --> 00:07:26

to light a barbecue initially, it takes a very long time you have to

00:07:26 --> 00:07:31

actually protect it from wind etc. To let it catch, let it become

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

kindled. Because in the beginning, even a bit of wind or whatever

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

will keep blowing the flame out the one that you need to let it

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

spread first. But once you've protected it initially, and you've

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

focused on it, you've tended to it and now mashallah the coal is all

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

hot, and they become embers. After that it doesn't matter. Now

00:07:50 --> 00:07:55

actually, you need the wind to come to to give it more heat. So

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

after that, it's completely fine. So likewise with that lamp,

00:07:57 --> 00:08:01

initially, you have to protect it. Once you've spent a few minutes

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

and it's gone through and it's caught up properly, then after

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

that nothing will effect it now you can climb mountains with that

00:08:09 --> 00:08:12

thing. So similar to that

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

we have to be away from people for that's why we have Allah subhanho

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

wa Taala once Allah has given us things like the Sunnah of Attica,

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

one of the purposes of that is to minimize our contact with people

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

during the right environment, which is in Ramadan, while

00:08:31 --> 00:08:36

fasting, so not only people but also hunger, because generally

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

take off the attic off in the masjid, generally 24 hours except

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

the anaphylactic shock, the other ethic of sin, etc, they will have

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

to be with fasting.

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

So, this is Allah's way of teaching us how to because to get

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

anything you have to focus and you have to cut away from everybody

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

else.

00:08:55 --> 00:09:00

So whenever anybody who is looking for Allah subhanaw taala, and you

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

feel that now I actually feel more comforted by the remembrance of

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

Allah than to be with others, and to do things of the world and know

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

that Allah subhanaw taala has intended to give you something,

00:09:14 --> 00:09:18

the benefit that they will get out of doing this, in this time of

00:09:18 --> 00:09:23

seclusion with Allah subhanaw taala is that it will be a time of

00:09:23 --> 00:09:27

the purification of the insight, the attractions, the distractions

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

that you had of the world that you would like to attend to, and enjoy

00:09:31 --> 00:09:36

and spend your time doing. All of that becomes minimized. That then

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

becomes replaced with Allah subhanaw taala who then gives you

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

gifts, spiritual gifts.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

So because of that, the light of your recognition of Allah subhanho

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

wa Taala becomes brighter.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:52

And this is exactly how Allah so this is the way of Allah with all

00:09:52 --> 00:09:53

of his Olia.

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

All Olia, go through this if you read the biographies, I remember

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

in the bye

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

With your hockey Maluma and there came a point in his time when he

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

just didn't want to see anybody. He just didn't want to be in

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

public.

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

And it happens with everybody this is that moment of that change. And

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

he does this with anybody he selects a sphere earlier etc.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

First they run away from the people until they gain despondency

00:10:23 --> 00:10:28

from people they know that people cannot help them and they become

00:10:28 --> 00:10:31

very strong in their reliance on Allah subhanaw taala could

00:10:31 --> 00:10:35

increase his numerous things increase and then after Allah

00:10:35 --> 00:10:37

subhanaw taala tells them to go back to the people to benefit them

00:10:40 --> 00:10:44

some of the shoe they do this with the with the with their students,

00:10:44 --> 00:10:49

so mostly turkey with money who's so mashallah accepted today and

00:10:50 --> 00:10:54

his his che had told him and his brother with the Rafi not to go in

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

public and do any lectures for such a long time. Now, can you see

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

how somebody who studies a bit here and there

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

while mentioning their biographies that they've studied with the top

00:11:05 --> 00:11:07

scholars of the world, and they've sat with them, maybe for a few

00:11:07 --> 00:11:10

days or something like that visited them, right? And then

00:11:10 --> 00:11:15

after that, they start to want to benefit people without having

00:11:15 --> 00:11:19

actually recognized it themselves. This is why a lot of problems

00:11:19 --> 00:11:22

happen. We ask Allah to protect us from that, but rather person is

00:11:22 --> 00:11:27

actually focused, who's done who's gained some recognition of Allah

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

subhanho wa Taala closest to him, then Allah will force him and

00:11:31 --> 00:11:36

compel him to go out to benefit people anyway. That's why a poet

00:11:36 --> 00:11:40

says that here we come Kulu, Arden, tansy, Luna Bihar

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

and the comfy because they are the thorough watch the hill I UniFi.

00:11:46 --> 00:11:51

Commander en hacer una gotten the Configure Are you in in C as Haru?

me Lady aka Malraux.

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

What that means is

00:12:02 --> 00:12:06

every land that you get to every place that you settle every place

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

that you are light and they will be basically greeted by you. It is

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

as if you are beneficial rain for every part of the world wherever

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

you go.

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

Eyes will just desire to just have a

00:12:27 --> 00:12:28

a wonderful glimpse of you.

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

It is as if you are for the eyes of people, for the sights of

00:12:34 --> 00:12:36

people you are flower, you are the flowers.

00:12:38 --> 00:12:43

And anybody who's traversing, will now traverse by the sight of your

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

light. Those who want to get closer to Allah, they will be

00:12:47 --> 00:12:53

traversing and on this path by your light. It is as if you are

00:12:53 --> 00:12:57

you have become the stars in the darkness of the night. May Allah

00:12:57 --> 00:13:01

subhanaw taala make us of these people. May Allah make us of this

00:13:01 --> 00:13:05

beautiful chef Abdullah Ganga he says to this one to summarize his

00:13:05 --> 00:13:10

commentary, oh traveller. If your heart cannot find solace with

00:13:10 --> 00:13:16

anyone except in the invocation of Allah, and you are terrified of

00:13:16 --> 00:13:19

creatures, meaning creative beings, you'd rather not be with

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

them.

00:13:21 --> 00:13:25

Than understand the state to indicate Allah was willing

00:13:25 --> 00:13:28

intimacy for you. He is willing that you are intimate with Him,

00:13:29 --> 00:13:32

and that he will keep you aloof from all things besides Him. Allah

00:13:32 --> 00:13:35

has taken care of you. It's like, you know, the Hadith says that,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:39

when you do all of the thorough it, the obligations, and you

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

fulfill all of what you've obliged to you, and then you start the

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

optional things, and Allah will make you close and you become a

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

weenie of Allah. It's almost like this is explaining that same idea.

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

On the other hand, if your heart derives comfort from creatures,

00:13:53 --> 00:13:58

and you become bored and terrified of solitudes, and in vacation, you

00:13:58 --> 00:14:00

just have to compare yourself like how do you feel in prayer and

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

indica, compared to doing something else, then understand

00:14:04 --> 00:14:07

that this condition is a great loss and misfortune for you, you

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

got a long way to go. We ask Allah for TOEFL, the next heckum that we

00:14:11 --> 00:14:12

have,

00:14:13 --> 00:14:20

which is 120/3 of the main collection is either order, if not

00:14:20 --> 00:14:25

authority law says either order a new hero for the law who are like

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

hudec, Vanessa Illich

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

either order and youth hero Fabula who Alec Halacha, oneness of the

00:14:33 --> 00:14:33

lake.

00:14:36 --> 00:14:42

When he wants to show His Grace to You, he creates states in you and

00:14:42 --> 00:14:43

attributes them to you.

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

It's a very practical idea, but it needs to be elaborated upon to

00:14:50 --> 00:14:54

understand it, when he wants to show his grace to you. Allah when

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

he wants to show his grace to you. He creates states in you and then

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

attributes them to you. Oh,

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

What does that mean?

00:15:02 --> 00:15:06

Allah subhanho wa taala. You have to remember, he is the one who can

00:15:06 --> 00:15:11

do whatever He wills. He's absolutely got his own absolute

00:15:11 --> 00:15:16

volition FTR and choice, there's nobody that makes any kind of

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

choice for him. Allah says law user who am I fly home use alone.

00:15:20 --> 00:15:25

They, he is not to be questioned about what he does. But they will

00:15:25 --> 00:15:27

be questioned what that basically means that in reality, you cannot

00:15:27 --> 00:15:31

question Allah for anything. He's not under any kind of law that you

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

can question him anyway. So that it's not talking about being

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

questioned in a court of law because that doesn't apply to

00:15:38 --> 00:15:42

Allah, in reality, you have no right or position or place to even

00:15:42 --> 00:15:46

ask him anything. Whereas they will be questioned, they will be

00:15:46 --> 00:15:50

questioned in a court of law on the day of judgment, because law

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

does apply to them. Right. So they will be questioned.

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

Now, what Allah subhanho wa Taala is has done is that among his

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

creation, there are three types of people in handwriting will NFC

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

mocassin, from Serbia mill Hyatts. Allah mentioned in the Quran

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

anyway. So you've got the one group who have

00:16:14 --> 00:16:18

committed many wrongs, and Allah subhanaw taala is going to punish

00:16:18 --> 00:16:22

them. Because Allah subhana wa Tada. And of course, they're,

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

while we don't want to get into the whole other issue here, these

00:16:26 --> 00:16:29

people Allah knows about from eternity. So he's designated them

00:16:30 --> 00:16:37

for the manifestation of various names of his, the kahar. Right?

00:16:37 --> 00:16:42

The Compeller, right, the Mighty One, the Munduk him, the one who

00:16:42 --> 00:16:46

takes revenge. So those names are active names, they they are,

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

they're relevant to Allah subhanho wa Taala in terms of what he's

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

created, right, that's why he has that name, then it's not a

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

redundant name. So there's an action that needs there's an

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

active aspect of that. And what that means is these other people

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

who've done wrong, that Allah subhana wa Tada, Allah, Allah

00:17:05 --> 00:17:09

actually says, showing that there's obviously a connection

00:17:09 --> 00:17:12

with Allah subhanaw taala is will there as well, which is where you

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

get the complication of the color and so on. So from Allah's

00:17:16 --> 00:17:22

perspective, what OSHA or Buka Marfa Alou as encircle Anon, if

00:17:22 --> 00:17:25

your Lord had willed, they would not have done so they would not

00:17:25 --> 00:17:28

have done this. Number two in Switzerland arm what oh sha Allah

00:17:28 --> 00:17:33

Who ma Shaco Had Allah willed, they would not have committed

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

partners to him. However, from their perspective,

00:17:38 --> 00:17:44

they will be taken to account for what they have done, because they

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

know they've done it with their freewill. Nobody forced them to do

00:17:47 --> 00:17:53

it. So humans cannot use the fact that Allah knows everything, and

00:17:53 --> 00:17:56

that he is behind everything, and He gives power for everything, to

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

the fact that I did. I didn't have to do this, but I was forced to do

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

it. Because you know that you have free will you experience your free

00:18:04 --> 00:18:08

will and you do it accordingly. That's why Allah subhanaw taala

00:18:08 --> 00:18:11

makes it very clear that Allah has positioned in days one hour rabuka

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

Viva la mala beads. Your Lord is never going to oppress anyone at

00:18:16 --> 00:18:22

all. Is used the exaggerated form here, right? Allah will never

00:18:22 --> 00:18:25

because it's in the negatives they say Allah will never

00:18:26 --> 00:18:27

we

00:18:28 --> 00:18:32

will never oppress his servants, likewise warmer for them now whom

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

Allah says in surah Nahal Rama Hollom Nahum wala Qin can and Fusa

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

whom you have Limone we did not oppress them, they used to oppress

00:18:39 --> 00:18:42

themselves, and anybody in the right mind will recognize that

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

that look, it was a choice, it was a choice.

00:18:46 --> 00:18:50

So that that is the group that Allah subhanaw taala has been

00:18:51 --> 00:18:57

singled out, for to express some of his signs, some of his names,

00:18:57 --> 00:19:01

then you've got another group in which who Allah subhanaw taala

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

uses his SIFAT his attributes of Haleem is being forbearing. He's

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

being Clement and forgiving and so on. And so forth. Rahim is another

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

one that he applies to these people.

00:19:13 --> 00:19:16

These are the people who do some sins who have committed sins.

00:19:18 --> 00:19:22

But Allah subhanaw taala has given them Iman, they commit sins but is

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

given them Iman. So they are definitely entitled worthy of

00:19:26 --> 00:19:30

being punished. They're deserving of being punishment. But Allah

00:19:30 --> 00:19:35

subhanho wa Taala has used his clemency with them, and he's

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

forgiven them and he's entered them into paradise. So that's the

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

second group of people.

00:19:41 --> 00:19:45

Then Allah subhana wa Tada there's a third category Serbia Kumble.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:49

Hyatts. Right, who do not do any sin for them Allah subhanho wa

00:19:49 --> 00:19:54

taala. The names that apply in that case are Karim, the

00:19:54 --> 00:19:58

benevolent one. The Karim, the extremely generous and benevolent

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

one. Allah subhana wa

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

Tolerance, his name of Kareem Rahim etc. Right to be applied to

00:20:05 --> 00:20:10

these people. So Allah subhanaw taala just creates in them has

00:20:10 --> 00:20:15

created in them the ability to to be obedient to do good for others

00:20:15 --> 00:20:19

given them Islam Iman and given them adornment with that they

00:20:19 --> 00:20:21

that's what they love and that's what they do. That's what they

00:20:21 --> 00:20:25

focused on Allah subhana wa Tada will enter them into his vast

00:20:25 --> 00:20:31

paradise is vast gardens and Allah will also give them the beatific

00:20:31 --> 00:20:36

vision, that they will be able to gaze at his noble countenance. And

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

when Allah subhanaw taala

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

wants these people to do that, then Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

created them. So now this is the point that if not, Allah is making

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

once you've understood the three categories that Allah subhanaw

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

taala will create in these people

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

and ability to do various different good deeds. So these

00:20:55 --> 00:20:57

people will do a lot of good deeds because they focused on those good

00:20:57 --> 00:21:01

deeds. Once they've done the good deeds, Allah will attribute the

00:21:01 --> 00:21:07

good deeds to them. And say, Yeah, Abdi, for al Qaeda worker,

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

terminal hate my servant, you've done this good deed, you've done

00:21:10 --> 00:21:11

these good deeds.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

And now I'm going to reward you for that. Now, this is where it

00:21:15 --> 00:21:19

becomes the most critical point. How do they respond to this?

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

Right? So he's going to say, I'm going to reward you upon this now

00:21:24 --> 00:21:28

I'm going to enter you into the gardens with my mercy. And then

00:21:28 --> 00:21:32

you will basically start to ascend up to wherever your position is

00:21:32 --> 00:21:38

based on your deeds. So entry into paradise is through the Rama, then

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

your deeds can decide where you where you are in Paradise, and

00:21:42 --> 00:21:47

your MACOM now in Paradise is wherever your actions and Allah

00:21:47 --> 00:21:53

says cool and humid do her Hula, hula even after Arabic America

00:21:53 --> 00:21:58

Anna Otto Rebecca Madura. Under K for for Donna Bala Hamada about,

00:21:58 --> 00:22:04

well, what a hero to Akbar udara Gerety workboat of Lila. We give

00:22:04 --> 00:22:11

we bestow our gifts on these Andes. Your Lord's giving is not

00:22:11 --> 00:22:12

restricted.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:20

But see how we give grace to some over others and in the hereafter.

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

It's the place of the high levels and the greatest Grace then Allah

00:22:25 --> 00:22:30

says Earth Hello janitor Bhima quantum dot Maroon. So Amel does

00:22:30 --> 00:22:33

have does have a place and deeds you have a place.

00:22:34 --> 00:22:36

So how should our reaction be?

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

Everybody should have this other with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So

00:22:42 --> 00:22:48

number one, we do not ever attribute anything lowly meat

00:22:48 --> 00:22:48

demeaning

00:22:49 --> 00:22:51

to Allah subhanaw taala.

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

We don't

00:22:55 --> 00:23:00

imply and impute on him any sin any disobedience any wrong and any

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

defects. If you do that basically means that shaitan has mis misled

00:23:06 --> 00:23:10

a person filata who Rhonda common hire to dunya wala who Rhonda

00:23:10 --> 00:23:14

Camilla Hill biller Hill horror, that lead not the dunya the world,

00:23:14 --> 00:23:17

the life of this world deceive you. And let not

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

the rule don't deceive you from Allah, about Allah which is the

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

shaytaan essentially.

00:23:26 --> 00:23:30

So anything good you have or that comes to you any perfection that

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

comes to you any virtue that comes to you attributed to Allah

00:23:33 --> 00:23:37

subhanaw taala and any shortcoming that comes attribute that to

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

yourself, that's the other that we must have in every deed that we

00:23:40 --> 00:23:44

do. If Allah has given you tofi The city and do a bit of vicar

00:23:44 --> 00:23:46

attribute that to Allah and thank him for it.

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

So hello Abdullah to study to study Rahim Allah is to say that

00:23:51 --> 00:23:55

either I'm either Abdul Hassan atta now listen to this, Allah

00:23:55 --> 00:23:58

knows best where he got this from. This is maybe his experience. This

00:23:58 --> 00:24:03

is maybe just what his assessment is, is very interesting, because

00:24:03 --> 00:24:05

it highlights what we're talking about to society when Abdullah

00:24:05 --> 00:24:09

says that whenever a servant does a good deed,

00:24:10 --> 00:24:14

and then he says, Yeah, Rob, he follows up in a thank you he

00:24:14 --> 00:24:16

follows up the good deed by saying, you know, like Allah has

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

given tofi To give a bit of money in the path of Allah to help out

00:24:20 --> 00:24:23

in the masjid, to sit and do some vicar right to attend a good

00:24:23 --> 00:24:27

gathering or whatever the case is. He says, Oh, my Lord, before

00:24:27 --> 00:24:30

bleaker, I Milt only by your gate gate grace that I've been able to

00:24:30 --> 00:24:36

do this. We're under and we're under the Health. Right? You have

00:24:36 --> 00:24:39

assisted me in this you facilitate tated this for me.

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

Shocker Allah Who dyadic Allah, Allah really, really, really is

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48

very grateful for this. He treats this with great value. But

00:24:49 --> 00:24:53

this person is actually associating the right thing with

00:24:54 --> 00:24:56

the right person, the right individual that is coming from

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Allah and he's he figured that out. He's not been deluded by the

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

shaytaan who is enough to think it's coming from him? So then he

00:25:03 --> 00:25:07

will respond by saying, My servant, but under a tart, were

00:25:07 --> 00:25:12

under the corrupt? No, no, you did the good deed, and you're the one

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

who drew close, Allah will put it back on the person that Allah will

00:25:15 --> 00:25:18

value Him by saying, no, no, it was you're doing because you know

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

this person is not going to be deluded by this.

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

However, if a person looks at himself and says, I'm hilt, I did

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

it. I did this, I managed to accomplish this one at a time.

00:25:31 --> 00:25:34

One at a corrupt I did the obedience, I was the one who drew

00:25:34 --> 00:25:39

close. Allah subhanaw taala ignores this person. And he says

00:25:39 --> 00:25:44

to him your app, the ANOVA fucked one. And what aniseh health? Are

00:25:44 --> 00:25:47

you forgetting that I gave you the enablement to do this, I gave you

00:25:47 --> 00:25:50

the Providence to do this. I assisted you and I facilitated

00:25:50 --> 00:25:54

this for you. Now likewise, if a person does end up doing a wrong

00:25:54 --> 00:25:58

deed, then this should be the reaction. He says you're a b and

00:25:58 --> 00:26:02

if he's this should not be the reaction if he says Yarra be under

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

codarts. We're under Kobe to underhand.

00:26:06 --> 00:26:08

Ya Allah era, he knows about taglia that everything is under

00:26:08 --> 00:26:12

techniques he uses that he says, Oh, my Lord, You decreed this.

00:26:13 --> 00:26:18

You, you, you, you demand this, you judge this and commanded this

00:26:18 --> 00:26:22

to happen. Allah subhanaw taala gets very angry at this. And he

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

says, Yeah, I have the bill under two under Joe Hill to under cite

00:26:27 --> 00:26:32

my servant know you've done wrong. You acted ignorantly and you've

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

disobeyed. As opposed to that somebody commits a sin and he

00:26:35 --> 00:26:42

says, You're up be an avant. We're an asset. What energy hilt? Oh my

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

lord. I've oppressed myself. I've committed oppression. I've done

00:26:46 --> 00:26:50

wrong. And I was ignorant. I acted ignorantly Allah subhanaw taala

00:26:50 --> 00:26:54

turns to that person. And he says My servant Unacademy to Wanaka

00:26:54 --> 00:26:58

Dora to Anna waka does offer to work at Harlem orchid settled,

00:26:59 --> 00:27:02

says no. Oh my servant. I decreed it.

00:27:03 --> 00:27:05

That is what I predestined.

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

But I've forgiven you. I've acted with benevolence. I've acted with

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

perseverance.

00:27:14 --> 00:27:18

And I've veiled you. This is the Nisbett that if an author is

00:27:18 --> 00:27:23

speaking about this idea of the Nyssa This is the attribution of

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

what a servant should do, that when he wants to show His Grace to

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

You, he creates states in you to do good deeds, etc, and then

00:27:31 --> 00:27:34

attributes them to you. You shouldn't be attributing to

00:27:34 --> 00:27:39

yourself, let Allah attribute it to you. So she had the luck and

00:27:39 --> 00:27:43

go, he says on this, when Allah Most High, wishes to manifest His

00:27:43 --> 00:27:48

kindness and favor to a servant, he creates deeds and lofty states

00:27:48 --> 00:27:52

for the person. Now on the occasion of praise, he relates

00:27:52 --> 00:27:54

these good deeds and attributes to the servant.

00:27:55 --> 00:27:58

When he wants to praise Him and say you did this and you did that,

00:27:58 --> 00:28:01

of course, if the seven could hear this, it would be wonderful. In

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

reality, the servants actions and choice have no role in his

00:28:04 --> 00:28:07

righteous state, since Allah Most High creates these states in him.

00:28:07 --> 00:28:11

Although Allah Most High is the creator of these pious states. He

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

relates the states to the servant, who is then praised, Allah gives

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

you those states and then praises you for those states. Thus, if the

00:28:19 --> 00:28:23

servant is intelligent, he will not become vain and proud when he

00:28:23 --> 00:28:26

is blessed with the grace of Allah Most High. Don't mistake this,

00:28:27 --> 00:28:30

like a father when he's got or a mother got a young child, they

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

want to teach them some good things, and they want to teach

00:28:33 --> 00:28:36

them that you get rewarded for good things. So they give them

00:28:36 --> 00:28:39

something like God gives them sadaqa like give them this money

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

and then they reward them for it is to create a habit in them.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:47

So if a servant is intelligent, he will not become become vain and

00:28:47 --> 00:28:50

proud when he is blessed with the grace of Allah Most High. On the

00:28:50 --> 00:28:53

contrary, he should be bashful, and refrain from attributing any

00:28:53 --> 00:28:57

virtuous state to himself. And all beautiful attributes should be

00:28:57 --> 00:29:01

related to Allah Most High, yet, evil and defects should be

00:29:01 --> 00:29:06

attributed to oneself. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to allow

00:29:06 --> 00:29:07

us to

00:29:08 --> 00:29:12

understand this well, and to respond well with ALLAH SubhanA wa

00:29:12 --> 00:29:16

Tada. That's why Eunice Ali salaam, his dua is mentioned in

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

the Quran. What is the guavas use of unicyclist?

00:29:21 --> 00:29:26

La ilaha, Illa and Subhanak in the consuming of volume in confession,

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

you know, people in the world love confession people in the world.

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

They're forgiving. If you are willing to say yes, okay, I made a

00:29:34 --> 00:29:35

mistake.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:41

It's just a human idea as well, that if somebody, it's clear who's

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

done this, and they don't say it, people get angry because of that.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

You'd probably get more mercy if you just confessed and sought

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

forgiveness. People love forgiveness, human beings love

00:29:52 --> 00:29:57

forgiveness. Allah subhanho wa Taala loves forgiveness. Allah has

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

given us from some of his character traits

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

some characteristics. So that's the best thing with Allah subhanaw

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

taala just to understand that we're wrong, and that takes away

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

arrogance, because we can only think you're right. You didn't do

00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

any wrong if you have arrogance and you have self reliance, which

00:30:12 --> 00:30:16

are all sins of the heart anyway. So Sins of the heart need to be

00:30:16 --> 00:30:20

raised for this kind of thing to work for us. We ask Allah for tofi

00:30:22 --> 00:30:25
