millennial Rahman and Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam

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

o Allah so you didn't know saline water early he was happy he he

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

married a man about

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

Rasul allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, and that would Allah

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

haka in the Katara.

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

For a limited control over in New York, that you worship Allah

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

subhanaw taala, as though you see him, and if you cannot see him

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

if you can't feel as though you can see him then understand at

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

least that he can see you.

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

So there's two things that you understand from here.

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

What he's saying here is not the knowledge of something.

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

The fact that you see Allah subhana wa Tada, you feel your

00:00:47 --> 00:00:52

sense, you have this state, this is talking about to states rather

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

than some knowledge, we all have the knowledge that Allah sees us,

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

we all have the knowledge that we should be able to see Allah

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

subhanaw taala, as manifestation everywhere. So what this hadith is

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07

telling us to do is not to just have the knowledge of that fact

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

which all Muslims should have, but rather to have the state of that,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

which is the actual consciousness and presence of that, that yes, I

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

can see Allah subhanaw taala Yeah, and I can see Allah through

00:01:17 --> 00:01:21

everything, or that at least he sees me that which is the lesser

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

state. So this is what you call a hull, a state as opposed to a

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

knowledge. And I think at this point, it's important to explain

00:01:31 --> 00:01:36

that when it comes to the path, it's about creating states, not

00:01:36 --> 00:01:39

about developing knowledge all the time. Knowledge is developed in

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43

Ludacris knowledge is developed through lectures and speeches and

00:01:43 --> 00:01:47

books, and academic study. The whole point of the soul of the

00:01:47 --> 00:01:53

whole point of the path of Wilayat is to have a state, when these

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

matters become a state, a second nature as such, it becomes so

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

embedded in the person, then that's when a person has an

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

ascendancy that's when a person gets closer to Allah subhanaw

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

taala.

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

This is the state that the state of Exxon because in the first to

00:02:12 --> 00:02:15

Iman and Islam the Prophet sallallahu Sallam explained what

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

the belief should be, and what the external worship should be that

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

you pray salah, you bear witness, you pray, you make Salah Do you

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

fast and so on and so forth. That's why, if no hudgell

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

escallonia Rahmatullahi it he mentioned in his physical body is

00:02:30 --> 00:02:31

coming to your body.

00:02:34 --> 00:02:37

He says, the meaning of this axon the meaning of the state is a

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

Yazidi barley he Moshe had at all happy because he had taka and who

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

you are Allah Tala, Shanna who

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

are witnessing of the HUC are witnessing of the true one

00:02:53 --> 00:02:56

becomes dominant takes over the hut,

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01

as though he sees ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. Witnessing Allah means

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

seeing the witnesses to Allah, the entire world is a witness to

00:03:05 --> 00:03:10

Allah. So when a Willie is able to when a person is able to see Allah

00:03:10 --> 00:03:14

through everything, meaning see his workings, see his actions, see

00:03:14 --> 00:03:18

his beauty see His Majesty. Then it is as though he is seeing Allah

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

subhanaw taala because he seen him everywhere. That's what if no,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:27

hudgell Ashkelon you explain. So this K fear the state this K fear

00:03:27 --> 00:03:31

this hull cannot be it's actually a K fear. It's a KV. It's a state,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

it cannot be gained through book. So the bleak Audrey's teaching,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

propagating.

00:03:39 --> 00:03:44

Although these things could help in a in a side sense, but really,

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

they come. This is the important part. They come from heart to

00:03:48 --> 00:03:52

heart, because the state is a matter of the heart, not in a

00:03:52 --> 00:03:55

book. So that's why when you actually see somebody with that

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

state, the hearts are very powerful. The hearts have their

00:03:58 --> 00:04:01

own power and their own effect. That's why the benefit I mean,

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

I'll just give you my simple example. This last four days from

00:04:05 --> 00:04:09

Monday, Sunday night to Thursday, I had multitask with me from

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

seven.

00:04:10 --> 00:04:13

And I personally believe he's a man of Allah subhanaw taala minea

00:04:13 --> 00:04:15

Slava, from Mufti Mohammed and so on, but

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

I've witnessed him for the last several years when he's come home

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

and stayed for a few days.

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

You can leave him in his room for a few hours. In fact, after

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

breakfast immediately says, okay, just give me some time. He will do

00:04:28 --> 00:04:32

his nowhere fill, he'll do his vicar Hill. And he tells me don't

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

worry about me. You know, I only get bored, don't worry about me. I

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

don't get bored. And he doesn't have too much in that room. He's

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

very simple, very simple. Every time it comes to this small

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

suitcase, right? That's it. So he's got no desire for anything

00:04:46 --> 00:04:49

else. I mean, he's come for his mother's side that he's building

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

but he just sits there he does is thicker. It is thicker. He does

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

his

00:04:54 --> 00:05:00

his no awful. He reads Quran and then after that. Then he read

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

is the book. That's it, he just, that's all he does. So

00:05:06 --> 00:05:10

I've clearly benefited by just being with him for four days,

00:05:10 --> 00:05:14

like, I've actually benefited, like I can feel a change, like,

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

you know, you've just

00:05:16 --> 00:05:20

helped yourself. That's what it means that these states generally

00:05:20 --> 00:05:26

don't come from books, or anything else, it comes from the heart.

00:05:26 --> 00:05:29

That's why the importance of a modulus as opposed to just

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

listening to a lecture, you get something out of a lecture, but

00:05:31 --> 00:05:35

it's about being in the gathering of hearts, which, which benefits

00:05:35 --> 00:05:40

people. That's what he says states are a matter of the heart. And

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

these things are generally transferred from heart to heart.

00:05:45 --> 00:05:48

Because this is a fatal insomnia, okay, if you had a 70 That's what

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

you call this.

00:05:51 --> 00:05:55

Just by sitting with good people, of course, you have to do certain

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

things. We have to do certain things ourselves. You can't just

00:05:57 --> 00:06:01

sit with somebody good and go back out and then just involve

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

ourselves with the Haram and lead a life of impurity, that can't be

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

possible, because then you lose it immediately. Anything that is

00:06:09 --> 00:06:12

possible, you lose him, in fact, the heart won't be open to it. The

00:06:12 --> 00:06:15

heart has to be open to benefit from somebody else.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

That's why they say about

00:06:19 --> 00:06:24

Allah makuuchi, the Allah Rumi that he was really his heart was

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

ready. I was just looking for somebody when he met chumps

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

Tabriz, it was just, I mean, it's a very Sufi kind of theme here.

00:06:29 --> 00:06:32

But basically, the love of Allah was just poured in afterwards

00:06:32 --> 00:06:36

because he just needed that, although his heart was very ready.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:40

Now how does one gain this, but this is the Whisper How does one

00:06:40 --> 00:06:44

gain this Nisbett in the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

sallam they say that just merely seeing the Prophet sallallahu

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

alayhi wa sallam was enough to create Nisbett in somebody as long

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

as their heart was ready as long as they had Iman. That's why the

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Sahaba have that special makan.

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

They will suffer they were disbelievers they were enemies who

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

also sola sola Lausanne, but nothing happened to them. Their

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

hearts weren't ready, that proves that heart has to be ready. Right?

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

Even if a non Muslims is looking is sincere and is seeking he will

00:07:11 --> 00:07:15

find because the heart is very, very important.

00:07:17 --> 00:07:21

According to the early and the later, mashallah they say that

00:07:22 --> 00:07:27

it was sufficient for one meeting with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

wa salam to take a person to the state of Assam. What do I mean by

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

the state here is again, that state of the heart, that they are

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

able to then witness Allah subhanaw taala, meaning they have

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

the Noorani this nature of Allah subhanaw taala enters the heart

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

and the darkness moves away.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

The reason they were able to benefit from this is because of

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

the other things that they will do

00:07:51 --> 00:07:56

for their heart to be prepared and conducive to accept this Nyssa and

00:07:56 --> 00:07:59

this transfer of this new Rania. That's why

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

I share with you Allah. This is what he writes. He says, I'm going

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

to read this in order he says that Morocco Oman Heiki Sahaba ki

00:08:09 --> 00:08:13

Sahaba. Quran, Nisbett, Ko or Tellico say be hassled, formata

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

they would also benefit from the nyssma through using other means

00:08:28 --> 00:08:31

most people many, many people pray, but it's about the

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

concentration and so on the harlot ja the moat or other Atharvaveda

here al Badawi Ahmed K in Jesus a Medela dos a beta Loki better how

00:08:46 --> 00:08:51

to basically stay constant state of purity will actually I'll

00:08:51 --> 00:08:56

explain them in a bit, constantly remembering death and a focus on

00:08:57 --> 00:08:59

punishment and reward of things.

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

This is these things help to turn a person away from the love of

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

dunya GUI, pleasures shower you Allah then carries on he provides

00:09:11 --> 00:09:16

some more explanation to this he says the Nihon is for kirika here,

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

because Sahaba or Therby, is Nisbett or Sakina Sakina Alko

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

dosimetric, SAP hustle ki architetti.

00:09:26 --> 00:09:29

I think one of the benefits of him telling us this is telling us that

00:09:29 --> 00:09:33

the Sahaba used to use also use there were also other means by

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

which they develop the state.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:43

One is, he says done nearly my dominant opinion is that Sahaba

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

and Therby been used to gain this Nyssa and this Sakina this

00:09:47 --> 00:09:52

sweetheart in seclusion because that's when you're with Allah

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

subhanaw taala that's when nobody's there to see you. So

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

you're not doing it for anybody else you're doing it for yourself,

00:10:14 --> 00:10:19

or the mom or more men who are who are who do the alberca, Husky

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

and who to whom is a reverent fear of Allah subhanaw taala that will

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

always be forefront in their mind, who do they will be constantly in

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

metric data like they were,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:51

they were very regular, with external and internal purity. This

00:10:51 --> 00:10:56

is where many many of us fail, we may remain pure outside. And again

00:10:56 --> 00:10:58

most people don't remain in will do all the time. That's the first

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

thing to always remain in Tahara. Of course goosal right to be

00:11:03 --> 00:11:06

constantly in the state of muscle and never to delay that. Right?

00:11:06 --> 00:11:09

Because for women in menstruation, they can't help it in that

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

situation.

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

But then, when a person doesn't have Janab, then it could be as

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

poss as far as possible to stay with will do, you will do breaks

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

can do will do as soon as possible. So stay in will do. And

00:11:22 --> 00:11:25

this is not something very difficult. Especially if you're

00:11:25 --> 00:11:28

working use those socks, those waterproof socks SealSkinz

00:11:28 --> 00:11:31

whatever they call and just try to go and do your will to just try to

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

stay in will do so that every time in solid time comes you don't have

00:11:34 --> 00:11:37

to worry about whether if that state becomes yours where you have

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

to have I broken my will do it your state becomes like not like I

00:11:40 --> 00:11:44

have to go and do for every prayer. Just to think I still have

00:11:44 --> 00:11:47

to do that should be the natural state that should be the permanent

00:11:47 --> 00:11:50

state. And then botany the botany is to

00:11:51 --> 00:11:56

is to keep the mind pure from evil, from evil thoughts, evil

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

desires, that is very, very important. Of course, these are

00:11:59 --> 00:12:01

things you can't just switch on just like this. They have to be

00:12:01 --> 00:12:06

developed with a focus, et cetera, et cetera, say Lovato, Kotor DNA

00:12:06 --> 00:12:10

wallichii is Jani moto hamesha esta has already looked at it,

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

which means that to keep a constant state of mouth because

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

most desire for death, believe me, it is the most powerful thing you

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

can have. If you start focusing on your immortality, I've only got

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

you know, how many more years have I got to live? Like even if you

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

don't think I mean, it's difficult to think I'm gonna die tomorrow,

00:12:27 --> 00:12:33

right? Because humans we deal with examples around us. So we see

00:12:33 --> 00:12:36

other people live live to 70 and 80. Right? And we might think,

00:12:36 --> 00:12:41

Well, my father, he's still alive or his, you know, my grandfather

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

is still alive. And these things deceive us to think that is going

00:12:45 --> 00:12:49

to come tomorrow. Right? Okay, fine. The way to then do it at

00:12:49 --> 00:12:52

least to start with this this thing How many years have passed

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

of my life already? I'm coming to 30 I'm coming to 40 I've gone

00:12:56 --> 00:13:00

beyond these really important parts of my life, you know, maybe

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

develop this kind of illness? Or look what happened so and so date

00:13:04 --> 00:13:08

to use these cues to understand that I've only so much life left

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

even in my prediction is getting less and then you start realizing

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

is it worth it for me to go and pursue this? Is it worth it for

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

what am I doing this for then that really helps to sift out what's

00:13:19 --> 00:13:22

necessary and what is just extra

00:13:23 --> 00:13:26

when a person can sift out what's necessary from what's extra. Like

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

I need to get this okay, it's important for me and for my

00:13:29 --> 00:13:34

children, right? And this is all extra I don't really need it. In

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

terms of what we need to acquire in our life what we need to work

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

for we need to do this and therefore that is important to

00:13:40 --> 00:13:43

sift these things out and help death really helps to

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

provide that provide that kind of filter

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

mahaya Kira que en sabko barabar patient other data, so all the

00:14:01 --> 00:14:04

rewards for the good deeds keep that in mind, they help human

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

beings love bonuses, they love rewards. So to keep those in mind,

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

I'll get this reward for this, I'll get this reward for this, it

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

helps. So to read Hadees that give you the rib and persuade you

00:14:18 --> 00:14:20

towards something, show you the rewards of something, it really

00:14:20 --> 00:14:21

really helps.

00:14:23 --> 00:14:28

Likewise, we also fearful so then to give a dose of that, which is

00:14:28 --> 00:14:30

that this is the punishment for this. This is the punishment for

00:14:30 --> 00:14:32

this, this is how long a person will be punished in the year for

00:14:32 --> 00:14:37

maybe relies too much than his cheeks will be. Would you call it

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

torn apart? His head will be crushed for this reason or that

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

reason to listen to these Hadith once in a while. And the thing is

00:14:43 --> 00:14:48

that even if again, this is not knowledge. That's why sometimes we

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

think I've read that book once. There's no point in reading it

00:14:50 --> 00:14:53

again, I know what's in there. It's not about that. It's about

00:14:53 --> 00:14:56

creating a state by reading something powerful over and over

00:14:56 --> 00:14:59

again. So if there is a book that has benefited you

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

If there is some chapter of Hadith or a particular Hadith that's

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

benefited you, then read it over and over again with thoughts.

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

And then

00:15:08 --> 00:15:11

he says, you see that the actor ICA who's holding this book up

00:15:11 --> 00:15:17

Poppendieck ersatz. Kitab, Lucky Tilawat This is another way, a

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

very, very powerful way, a very, very powerful way. Unfortunately,

00:15:21 --> 00:15:24

many of us who don't understand Arabic are deprived of this unless

00:15:24 --> 00:15:30

they focus and get a translation is that they would regularity

00:15:30 --> 00:15:36

recite the Quran or escape Manami God or Karna or wah wah or WA is

00:15:36 --> 00:15:38

or NASA K bar or con

00:15:40 --> 00:15:46

Darna or semi Metcalfe's it was kosuna which means any part of the

00:15:46 --> 00:15:51

any verse that is giving nasiha any verse that is

00:15:55 --> 00:15:59

providing some kind of warning, you actually interact with Allah

00:15:59 --> 00:16:02

subhanaw taala with his speech with the meaning.

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

Likewise, any chapters of Hadith or any Hadith he says hadith

00:16:07 --> 00:16:11

shareef Kaoma Dominions eco luminary pedo on Kasana Vita,

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

which is the recaulk as they call them the chapters on hot soft

00:16:15 --> 00:16:19

enumerations they are supposed to have this is all from Shaohua

00:16:19 --> 00:16:25

EULAs l coluna. Jamil. So, this is the, this is from the these are

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

basically Toyoko Tassili Nyssa. These are the paths to gain the

00:16:29 --> 00:16:31

Nisbett with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:39

So, generally what people say that it was sufficient with the, with

00:16:39 --> 00:16:44

the Sahaba to just see the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. That's

00:16:44 --> 00:16:48

true. But in a qualified sense. Basically, this is what he's

00:16:48 --> 00:16:52

saying that he doesn't reckon that that is an absolute truth only

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

because clearly the Sahaba never just did that, where they would

00:16:55 --> 00:16:57

just feed the prophets, Allah Islam, and then they did nothing

00:16:57 --> 00:17:00

else. Because when you look at the Sahaba, and their stories, they

00:17:00 --> 00:17:03

did everything else. They weren't the highest level, I mean, we can

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

hardly reach many of them. Right? If any of them for that matter. So

00:17:07 --> 00:17:10

these were all things that they did, which helped them to gain

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

this nice perform the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

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

That's why he says, Then they say that

00:17:18 --> 00:17:23

a lot of the time, people have this understanding, right. And

00:17:23 --> 00:17:29

this is very relevant to us, that you will gain Nisswa purely by

00:17:29 --> 00:17:33

just fulfilling the earth car and the maraca bad that your ship

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

gives you. And

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

that is a path that is one way. But the problem with us is that no

00:17:41 --> 00:17:45

one single way helps us because we've got too much pollution

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

coming from outside. If we had clean hearts and a single registry

00:17:49 --> 00:17:53

in the Quran, we sufficient. But because we have so much

00:17:54 --> 00:17:57

challenge out there, in all of these investment, for example, one

00:17:57 --> 00:18:01

person wrote, and he said that this is how many years I've been

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

in the 30. You know, I just don't feel any different.

00:18:07 --> 00:18:09

Now the person is alone, he's not even in this country. He's in

00:18:09 --> 00:18:13

another country where it's, you know, the only thing he has access

00:18:13 --> 00:18:16

to is a bit of the bleak, nothing else, no, much like nothing. So

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

only thing has access to the most righteous people. He has access to

00:18:20 --> 00:18:24

other web, local web browsers. That's it. And a lot of people

00:18:24 --> 00:18:27

expect magic. When they come into America, they expect that

00:18:27 --> 00:18:30

immediately it's going to happen. They don't come to a modulus.

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

There are people locally, they do not come to a match this but they

00:18:33 --> 00:18:36

will write to you that I don't know what to do. I just don't know

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

what to do. Well, what do you expect us to do? This is not Allah

00:18:40 --> 00:18:43

you're speaking to. This is not a person with magic you're speaking

00:18:43 --> 00:18:46

to this is not gained through magic. This is going to gain

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

through some kind of efforts come to a modulus at least. If you're

00:18:50 --> 00:18:53

saying this is how I feel I feel a wreck. I feel like this. I feel

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

like that. I can't do my god, I can't do this. I can't do that.

00:18:57 --> 00:18:59

I'm even missing prayers. Sometimes. Some people say, What

00:18:59 --> 00:19:03

can I do? The grunting good is they've got a sense of guilt.

00:19:03 --> 00:19:06

Okay. But what do you expect the sheikh to do?

00:19:07 --> 00:19:12

Like what do you expect? You have to do something at least at least

00:19:12 --> 00:19:16

you start coming to the machinist, please bring yourself to the

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

place.

00:19:17 --> 00:19:20

Start doing something or the other. You can't just sit and

00:19:20 --> 00:19:24

complain in that moment of doubt. In that moment when things become

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

overwhelmed. You have to help yourself in Hola Hola, yo, hey,

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

yo, Moby Coleman had the euro euro, maybe unforeseen, both

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

positively and negatively. Allah subhanaw taala doesn't change

00:19:35 --> 00:19:38

people until they change themselves. Basically. In other

00:19:38 --> 00:19:41

words, what that means is, Allah doesn't do anything to anyone

00:19:41 --> 00:19:43

until they take the first step. That means positively or

00:19:43 --> 00:19:48

negatively. What that means is, Allah will not improve their state

00:19:48 --> 00:19:51

unless they take the first step to improve their state, then Allah

00:19:51 --> 00:19:55

will help them likewise Allah will not destroy a place until they

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

take the first step. This verse works both ways. If you want to

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

improve

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

Take the first step Allah will help you. If somebody wants to be

00:20:03 --> 00:20:07

destroyed, they will first start. That's why it says that Furby ma

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

cassava AB it's because of what their hands earned, that Allah

00:20:11 --> 00:20:14

does this, Allah did this to them not because Allah just I don't

00:20:14 --> 00:20:17

like you guys colors finish I'm going to finish you off, says when

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

we want to create facade in a place, then Amana mutrah fee him

00:20:21 --> 00:20:27

for facade goofy, it's sort of Israa that we command the, you

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

know, the facade makers, the Mischief Makers and they start

00:20:30 --> 00:20:35

causing facade for Hakala human whole, then the decision comes

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

against him the decree is formed against them. So both positively

00:20:39 --> 00:20:44

and negatively the thing has to start from oneself. Sometimes it

00:20:44 --> 00:20:47

doesn't start from an IT doesn't start from the community as a

00:20:47 --> 00:20:51

whole. See the benefit of having people of Allah in your community?

00:20:51 --> 00:20:56

Is that because of the efforts that the help that Allah provides

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

benefits, everybody. That's why I look at communities even in

00:20:59 --> 00:21:03

London, right? We have many, many different pockets in London have

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

different communities, different people linked to different

00:21:06 --> 00:21:09

masajid. There are some which are very deprived communities, they

00:21:09 --> 00:21:12

got nothing going on. They don't even have any Islamic school.

00:21:12 --> 00:21:16

They've got nothing going on whatsoever. Right. In others. They

00:21:16 --> 00:21:20

have Masha Allah Masjid. They have Tablighi work going on, they have

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

schools going on for boys and for girls, they have classes they have

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

for women, they have children, they have to do it, they have this

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

type of data. Where does all of that come from? Because there were

00:21:29 --> 00:21:32

a few concerned individuals who tried something, then Allah helped

00:21:32 --> 00:21:36

them when nobody can. Nobody, they're all focused on the dunya

00:21:36 --> 00:21:39

they know how is Allah gonna help them like that. That's why the

00:21:39 --> 00:21:43

benefit of living in that's why it's well worth it. If you are

00:21:43 --> 00:21:46

going to buy a house or move somewhere to move somewhere where

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

there is sort of HA, where there is a masjid, where there is

00:21:49 --> 00:21:54

activity. Because if we can't do it ourselves, then at least we can

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

benefit from what somebody else is doing. Allah does not change

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

people until they take that first step and change themselves.

00:22:03 --> 00:22:07

Likewise, if we're moving into an area that is full of the dunya, we

00:22:07 --> 00:22:10

want to upscale to a place where there's no masjid, it's just a

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

nicer place. And the people are all they're just having huge

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

parties and just indulging in because and everything like that.

00:22:16 --> 00:22:19

Well, that's what you're gonna get. You have taken that step.

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

That's why houses close to a masjid are very valuable. Yes,

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

both money wise, they are valuable, you know, they go up in

00:22:28 --> 00:22:31

price. And really, they're valuable, really diverse. I've got

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

a I've got a cousin who moved out of Hackney

00:22:35 --> 00:22:40

and to a to a house in forest gate first then he moved to Ilford, but

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

to a place where there's an area of Milford where there's not much

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

going on the masjid is

00:22:46 --> 00:22:50

it's close, but it's not, you know, the kind of thing that he

00:22:50 --> 00:22:53

can benefit from. And there's not much else going on in the area.

00:22:53 --> 00:22:55

Now. He's made a really nice house, but now he wants to move

00:22:55 --> 00:22:57

from there because he's understanding the history,

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

children that will be suffering.

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

So these are all factors that we have to place ourselves in the

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

world. If you've placed yourself in a position don't want to do

00:23:07 --> 00:23:10

anything for yourself. And then somehow you want it to be magic

00:23:10 --> 00:23:13

turned into a well you have Allah the next day, then you're gonna

00:23:13 --> 00:23:14

have to ask Allah.

00:23:15 --> 00:23:18

Yes, Allah has that ability. But let's see how much do I you can

00:23:18 --> 00:23:20

do. These things don't happen by magic.

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

So that's why he says that, first and foremost, going back to this,

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

number one, you cannot he's saying here that you can't even just rely

00:23:30 --> 00:23:36

on the car and the maraca the machine gives you that's not even

00:23:36 --> 00:23:40

just enough. That's just really just basic vitamins everyday that

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

you need. Not not even not forgetting the vitamins or

00:23:43 --> 00:23:47

secondary vitamins or additional nourishment. This is just basic

00:23:47 --> 00:23:51

food that you need for your soul. You know, the maraca, we given the

00:23:51 --> 00:23:56

test behind it, this is just basic, basic food. Now you can

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

have different types of food,

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

then you can have very carefully selected and prepared food, you

00:24:03 --> 00:24:06

can eat a lot of junk, which means just doing the Epcot like that

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

with no concentration, it's not junk, but you know, you can just

00:24:09 --> 00:24:11

do that, they will still have a bit of benefit, you know the food

00:24:11 --> 00:24:13

you'll get some nutrients from them, but if it's carefully

00:24:13 --> 00:24:18

carefully formulated foods, where it's a balanced diet, right,

00:24:19 --> 00:24:23

then you will get even additional benefits. So if there's a special

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

focus a presence of mind in the mother karate in the Moraga, etc,

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

that will benefit but at the end of the day that is still just one

00:24:30 --> 00:24:34

topic. You still have to have other 30 and it can't be all put

00:24:34 --> 00:24:35

into that.

00:24:37 --> 00:24:42

That's why Sufi Muhammad Kabbalah was supposed to be a very big

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

worry of Allah of the recent times he says that anybody who wants

00:24:45 --> 00:24:49

this this but to Allah subhanho wa Taala they have to have solid Lulu

00:24:50 --> 00:24:55

that is very powerful topic, because it comes from heart to

00:24:55 --> 00:24:59

heart, and all the Decra Lukka LTSR have so habit

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

I have the Corolla. Both of these things are necessary. Otherwise

00:25:03 --> 00:25:04

you're just gonna complain.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:12

That's why he says Nisbett, serif or serif or LULAC is COC

00:25:12 --> 00:25:13

Montecalvo. Tear.

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

The Nisbett only comes from the heart of the alula Cute que que

00:25:20 --> 00:25:26

Fiat get Harmel Kulu Jota. Hey Nikita, because states are not

00:25:26 --> 00:25:31

carried in books, they are carried in hearts. And that's why the

00:25:31 --> 00:25:33

hearts are very powerful in terms of the effect that they provide.

00:25:35 --> 00:25:36

For example,

00:25:38 --> 00:25:40

we're gonna compare this to a person who's not doing any

00:25:40 --> 00:25:43

thicker, but once all is once something, right.

00:25:45 --> 00:25:49

They perform. There's a man who performs tahajjud all night, but

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

he has no Taqwa.

00:25:51 --> 00:25:54

Right? So he performs the hedge, it becomes a habit that he's able

00:25:54 --> 00:25:57

to perform the hedge for many hours at night, but he has no

00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

taqwa in the data.

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

There's another person who doesn't perform the hedge. He just does

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

this follow it. He's got no tahajjud but a man man of Taqwa a

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

man of great Taqwa clear pure in the hearts.

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

Meaning

00:26:13 --> 00:26:14

he doesn't even

00:26:15 --> 00:26:20

he avoids even a single haram glance. Right? He avoids even a

00:26:20 --> 00:26:25

single haram glance. And for not for a moment does he displeased

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

Allah is very concerned about that. Not the hijab at night. But

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

he's doesn't displease Allah subhanaw taala the slightest.

00:26:34 --> 00:26:37

The Sheikh was mentioned. He says, Wallahi he says, I say by Allah

00:26:37 --> 00:26:42

subhanaw taala. He says, I'm saying this while I'm fasting, and

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

he was saying this while he was in the Haram, he says I'm in the

00:26:44 --> 00:26:48

middle Amin, right, he's in Makkah, and he's I'm fasting, that

00:26:49 --> 00:26:51

the person who stays with Taqwa

00:26:52 --> 00:26:55

doesn't do tahajjud his nor

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

will be extremely powerful. Because Dakwah is how you gain

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

your power. And that's why Ramadan, it's for the tycoon, to

00:27:04 --> 00:27:09

curb the self away from permissible things, food, drink

00:27:09 --> 00:27:12

and sexual * with the spouse. We're told to curb

00:27:12 --> 00:27:15

ourselves that we gain mastery over our nerves, because you know,

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

you feel like having a coffee at 10 o'clock, you can't have it.

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

Your mouth goes dry, your self is protesting, I can't work. I don't

00:27:23 --> 00:27:26

know how I'm gonna pass the rest of the day, I need this water. I

00:27:26 --> 00:27:30

need that cool. You know, whatever it is, or the coffee or whatever

00:27:30 --> 00:27:34

the case. You can't. A few days later, though we get used to it.

00:27:35 --> 00:27:38

Right? unless somebody's got illness or something you get used

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

to it. That tells us how we gain power over our knifes. So he says

00:27:42 --> 00:27:43

that

00:27:44 --> 00:27:49

it's through Love of Allah and duck wa that the heart becomes

00:27:49 --> 00:27:51

filled with the news of Allah subhanaw taala.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:57

We are doing all of these of car to get connected to Allah so that

00:27:57 --> 00:28:00

we can fear Him so that we can have Taqwa of him. All of this is

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

to develop Taqwa at the end of the day. And that's why when this

00:28:05 --> 00:28:10

light is in the heart, it will then eventually manifest outside.

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

And thus Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, Sima home fee

00:28:15 --> 00:28:17

would you hear him mean a 30 sujood

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

based on this Allama Lucy, who's a great Iraqi Mufasa

00:28:24 --> 00:28:27

from Baghdad, he says, who are neuron

00:28:29 --> 00:28:31

Yevadu al RBD in

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

your abdomen belt any him you love or hate him.

00:28:38 --> 00:28:45

Which means it's a newer and a light, which appears on the RBD it

00:28:45 --> 00:28:51

starts internally and then it manifests externally. So the

00:28:51 --> 00:28:53

internal has to be proper.

00:28:55 --> 00:28:57

That is where it's going to be. So

00:28:59 --> 00:29:01

let us stop waiting for a miracle to happen.

00:29:02 --> 00:29:07

Let us try for ourselves and certain. The main thing is to

00:29:07 --> 00:29:11

decide for oneself that look, these are my priorities. I'm going

00:29:11 --> 00:29:15

to go to the images. I'm gonna do this methodically. And I'm going

00:29:15 --> 00:29:20

to try my best. And I'm going to try my best to avoid as many sins

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

as possible. And if I do commit sins, I'm going to make Toba. So

00:29:24 --> 00:29:28

basically, every night at least I'm going to make Toba. Right? I'm

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

going to make a special toy but once we do that so far, that is

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

seeking forgiveness, but Toba Raju Illa. Allah to actually feel at

00:29:34 --> 00:29:38

least have one salad in a day where we do a sincere Toba as well

00:29:38 --> 00:29:41

along with the Istighfar because it's the one Toba two separate

00:29:41 --> 00:29:46

stages. Right? Toba is the final stage of the stick for so have

00:29:46 --> 00:29:51

these kinds of things that we basically adhere to and we don't

00:29:51 --> 00:29:54

compromise on, then we'll see that inshallah there will be benefits.

00:29:54 --> 00:29:56

But if we're not going to do anything, and then we just keep

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

complaining. It's not going to work. It's not going to work.

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

There are people out there who've emailed say, I am missing. You

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

know, first I stopped the vehicle. I stopped this. I don't know I'm

00:30:06 --> 00:30:10

missing prayer as well. That's where it gets to. I've started

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

listening to music.

00:30:12 --> 00:30:14

You know, before I just started listening music once in a while,

00:30:15 --> 00:30:19

and now it's increasing. And that's it. This is exactly what

00:30:19 --> 00:30:22

it's a balance. It's like you open this flood door or you open that

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

flood door.

00:30:24 --> 00:30:25

You close this one

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

and you stop doing a scar etc. This one is going to open wide

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

because the pressure but if you have Taqwa coming in, it's going

00:30:33 --> 00:30:35

to keep this door closed.

00:30:36 --> 00:30:38

Otherwise the music comes in this comes in that comes in and these

00:30:38 --> 00:30:42

are real case scenarios. Allah help us well Allah help us well

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

Allah help us all. Well, I've heard that run and in hamdulillah

00:30:45 --> 00:30:45

here

00:30:46 --> 00:30:49

alone and just alone because they don't develop the originality with

00:30:49 --> 00:30:53

the Quran. Allah homea you you're a young medical study alone. Yeah,

00:30:53 --> 00:30:54

and I'm a nun

00:30:55 --> 00:30:59

La Ilaha illa Allah Subhana Allah in couldn't even avoid immune

00:30:59 --> 00:31:02

Allahumma salli wa salam ala, so you didn't know Mohamed earlier.

00:31:02 --> 00:31:04

So either no Mohammed or Boedeker Salam.

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

disobedience of Allah we ask you to grant us pleasure in your

00:32:50 --> 00:32:55
