			sincerity actually truly existed
in a person, one would not have
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			rendered the deed in expectation
of compensation in the first
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:13
			place. So hon Allah, that means to
say that if I'm looking for a
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			deed, I'm not sincere.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			If I'm looking for reward, I'm not
sincere.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:20
			As we said,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			starting something off for wanting
rewards, that's just the starting.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			He's talking to more advanced
people. He's not talking to the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			basics who don't even pray for
them. You need rewards, man,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			you're gonna get rewarded and go
to Paradise, you're gonna go to
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			*. That's how you start off.
Once you're on there, then after
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:41
			that, it's about expanding and
enhancing. So that's what he's
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			talking about. For such a person.
It will just suffice that he is
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			just not punished by Allah for
giving him such a polluted act.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:57
			Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Allah
hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:02

00:01:19 --> 00:01:23
			Tada wala who had a kakum
Warmerdam alone hamdulillah to
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			continue with our series on even
auto scan, there is GitHub will
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
			become the Book of Wisdom, we
reach page 104 We will be
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			Inshallah, looking at two of
these. We will be looking at two
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40
			of his aphorisms today. They are a
continuation of the last session,
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:45
			but they add another level on it.
So the last one was the discussion
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			that whoever worships Allah
subhanaw taala for something that
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:52
			he hopes from Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:59
			or in order to stave off the
arrival of a punishment has not
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:02
			concerned himself with the real
nature of Allah's attributes and
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:05
			is a shortcoming in that regard.
Now he adds on to that theme.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			And really really makes it very,
very clear. So this is what he
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:16
			says in number one to one which is
on page 104. Mata Tala there are a
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			warden and Amylin to lip the VA
will do the sit key
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25
			work Phil Mareeba, which Dan
Salama amazing.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:30
			The last time he was saying it was
more of a guidance. Now it's more
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:34
			of a challenge. Are you still
going to Are you still going to be
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:37
			just focused on asking Allah for
the reward of the deeds that you
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			do? The bit of relief work the
extra sadaqa you gave the
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:45
			assistance that you provided, the
extra Noah, Phil you performed,
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			you got off at 100 and now you
feel so great about it, you should
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:53
			feel great, but in thanks to Allah
rather than this feeling that I'm
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			better than somebody else, I'm
going to have more reward, Allah
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			has to give me reward. So now
Allah subhanaw taala challenges
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			the person and says, When you seek
a recompense for a deed, when you
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			seek your reward for a deed,
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:11
			then the existence of sincerity in
it is going to be demanded of you
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			in return.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			You will ask for reward fine.
Let's see how much sincerity you
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			had in your deed. Let's see how
good God was.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:25
			As for the insincere the feeling
of security from chastisement
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			suffices in
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			in simple words, the one who is
insincere.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			For him to just be free, and safe
from being punished for not doing
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			it right, should be enough for him
as a reward.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:46
			So totally different way this is
Allah subhanho wa taala. This is
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			on behalf of Allah subhanaw taala
in saying that, you're going to be
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:52
			going around looking for and of
course, there's nothing wrong with
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:56
			looking for a deed looking for
reward or hoping for what at least
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			right? But he's trying to get us
to a higher level. And he's also
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			trying to humble us that when your
deeds are done is done by Allah
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			for you. And that's going to be
the next one. He's going to
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			explain that. So what he's
essentially saying here is that if
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:13
			you're going to go and your focus
is just the reward for the deeds
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:17
			that you do the offering that you
you give, then you're going to be
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:20
			asked, okay, let's see how much
sincerity you got in there. Have
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:24
			you given us a full deed that is
befitting us that is befitting
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			Allah subhanaw taala and worthy of
Allah. And then the insincere one,
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			the one the one who didn't have
any sincerity in it, for him just
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			to feel that he is going to be
secure from being punished that's
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			good enough.
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			So let's look at that in a bit
more detail.
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			So whenever any good action, we do
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			and then you're asking ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada to give you a
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:57
			reward for it. Allah subhanaw
taala is just has absolute right
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			to ask you that how am I
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			truthfulness did you have in that
and sincerity and focus did you
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			have in that? Which means that did
you have? Did you attain the
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			secret of class? Did you have full
a class where you're not focused
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			anywhere else? What does that
mean? That means when you did it,
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			you realize that Allah allowed you
to do it. You did it for nobody
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:23
			else you didn't care about anyone
else. You were focused essentially
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:26
			on Allah and you're just like
Allah was allowing me to do this.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			You did not think that you had any
ability to do this except that
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:33
			ALLAH allowed you to do it. Did
you focus on all of that in the
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
			Salah that you just performed? Oh
Allah, I'm only praying this solid
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			because you allowed me to do it
otherwise I would never be La
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:43
			hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah
there's no power
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:49
			to do good deeds or no shield of
doing from bad deeds except with
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			Allah
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			nothing he said was Salah my
terminal was worse you will have a
		
00:05:55 --> 00:06:00
			terrible haha just had that Hakuna
Salah to Kabila he will well Allah
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			did in your Salah, did you were
you totally free. Were you totally
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:13
			free of any whispers notions,
outside thoughts, fleeting ideas,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:15
			totally, totally focused.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			So that your Salah was purely for
Allah and by Allah and for nothing
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:24
			else, and had no adulteration
inside.
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			And you were totally oblivious of
everything besides Allah and
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			you're just so focused on Allah,
that there was nothing else that
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			could disturb you, like the Sahaba
had?
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			Was your heart filled? And he said
with the greatness and Majesty of
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:42
			Allah, why do you are praying? Was
your heart filled with that he's
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:45
			telling us how solid should be
essentially, so was your heart
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:47
			filled with the Majesty of Allah.
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:53
			So you are totally lost in Allah
for the sake of Allah.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:07:00
			Okay, so if all of these matters,
and all of these affairs were
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			correct, and you had achieved all
of this, then okay, fine, you can
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			ask for your reward. Go ahead and
ask for your reward.
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:15
			But if you can't Sirtis be certain
that you had all of these states
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			in your heart, then know that your
action was mudhole your action was
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			interrupted, your ad your action
was adulterated was polluted, was
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			corrupted.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			So now, you should be embarrassed
to ask Allah
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:34
			to give you a reward for a deed
that is not perfect. It's a half
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			big deed that you gave to Allah.
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:39
			It's not trying to distract you
from praying, pray, just trying to
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:43
			say you need to really pray for
the right reason. So don't get
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:43
			this wrong.
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:50
			Why should you offer something
100% for Allah because he is 100%
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:51
			in every sense.
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:57
			For what a thermo Workman, Allah
is absolutely full, complete in
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:00
			every sense of why should he
accept something incomplete from
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:02
			us, and Allah knows best.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:09
			Number two, so that's essentially
what he says here right. So now
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			let me read to you what Sheikh
Abdullah can go he explains this
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			aphorism as we move into the next
reason, because it just follows on
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			from here. If the intention
underlying worship and your other
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			word virtuous deeds is solely
solely the acquisition of reward
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:29
			and compensation from Allah, then
Allah will show him that only a
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			deed accomplished with full
sincerity is worthy of reward is
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:39
			sincerity actually truly existed
in a person, one would not have
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:42
			rendered the deed in expectation
of compensation in the first
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:46
			place. So hon Allah, that means to
say that if I'm looking for a
		
00:08:46 --> 00:08:47
			deed, I'm not sincere.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:50
			If I'm looking for reward, I'm not
sincere.
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:53
			As we said,
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			starting something off for wanting
rewards, that's just the starting.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:02
			He's talking to more advanced
people, he's not talking to the
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			basics who don't even pray for
them, you need rewards, man,
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			you're gonna get rewarded and go
to Paradise, you're gonna go to
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:10
			*. That's how you start off.
Once you're on there, then after
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			that, it's about expanding and
enhancing. So that's what he's
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			talking about. For such a person,
it will justify that he is just
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			not punished by Allah for giving
him such a polluted act.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			May Allah allow us to rise to the
status and make our actions like
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:31
			that. So now, the next aphorism
next wisdom, hikma is number 122.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			For those who are following, he
says, laptops blueberry, well
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:40
			done. enamelling listello HuFa for
Elan yak fie Meenal Jezza Illa
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:45
			Allah Allah Amelie en can Allahu
kar bilum Right. For those who
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:47
			understand Arabic they'll
understand the beauty of those
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:51
			words. Do not seek recompense or
reward for a deed whose Doer was
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:52
			actually not even you.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:58
			Don't look for a reward for a deed
that you didn't do. What do you
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			mean I didn't do course I did it.
I just
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			stood up, I prayed, I gave the
sadaqa It suffices you as a
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:06
			recompense for your deed that he
just accepts it
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			is just Subhanallah just blows you
out of the water like blows you
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:20
			out of this, this state that I'm
something that I'm deserving of
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			something, we only become
deserving. When we realize that we
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			just doing it for the sake of
Allah, then that's it, then he'll
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			shower you. He wants us to be
totally selfless.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:36
			So this is what he says now. So
Continuing from the previous
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:41
			theme, the question this is
answering is, how can you ask for
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:45
			a recompense for a deed that you
actually didn't do yourself? And
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:48
			number two, how are you going to
even find out whether it is
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			accepted or not? Meaning how do
you know that it was an accepted
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			deed that you did.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			So that's why he says this
aphorism.
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:01
			This ties into a big discussion,
which we don't have, we should not
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			going to go into today. But if you
haven't heard it, already, we have
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:08
			a we have the discussion about
what exactly is predestination
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:12
			decree, Allah subhanaw taala,
planning everything and knowing
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:14
			everything in advance of actually
creating
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:20
			other Malissa for example, of, for
example, that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			knew from pre eternity that this
gathering today was going to take
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			place, and our brother, what's
your name?
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:29
			Brother Aziz was going to be
there.
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:34
			I didn't know Aziz was going to be
here. But Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:37
			knew from pretend the disease and
a smile and,
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			and safe Allah is going to be
here.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			And our other brothers from Bihar
on some erkunden.
		
00:11:45 --> 00:11:47
			And Australia and other places, I
didn't know that.
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:52
			Well, I knew about some of you.
But Allah knew all of this from
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			presented before we were born
before a dad was born before our
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			grandparents were born.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:02
			Now how exactly that works out,
this is not the time however, just
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			to give you a conclusion, every
human being definitely has free
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:09
			will. Because we feel an
experience free will. Nobody was
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			forced to come here today, you
might have been strongly
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:15
			encouraged by your friend or your
father, but you were not forced,
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			like you just couldn't help him.
Right? You came with your own
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			choice, and we do everything with
our own choice. However,
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:27
			ultimately, Allah is the One who
facilitates everything. But he
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			gives us that kind of
understanding of independence and
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:37
			volition, and ability so that we
understand that, you know, we're
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:40
			going to be answerable for
whatever we do good or bad. But
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:44
			ultimately, Allah is behind
everything. But our focus is not
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			on that our focus is on the fact
that I am responsible for the
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			deeds I do, right? But ultimately,
nothing happens in this world
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:54
			without Allah. It's just very
difficult to reconcile those two
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			things. But all we need to
understand is for myself and my
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			deeds and my akhira I'm
responsible, because I have
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			freewill, that I feel, but
ultimately, Allah is behind
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			everything anyway. Right? So
that's what he says. He says,
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:11
			according to our annual health,
according to our Muslim scholars,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			it's very, very clear that the
human being,
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:18
			that every human being, every
human being, is what they say in
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:23
			Arabic magic. Buuren Fie, Cardi B
Mortarion. Where we are in we are
		
00:13:23 --> 00:13:24
			really
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:29
			compelled from the perspective of
Allah we are compelled. However,
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:35
			our form, and the way we do things
is as if we have ability and
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:38
			volition and choice, doesn't
everybody feel that they have
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			choice in this world, right? But
ultimately in the sight of Allah,
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:47
			we are whatever He wants us to be
right. So there is no action, no
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:51
			choice except that the one who
actually allows it and facilitates
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:54
			in and knows about it and
everything is Allah Hydra. kahar
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:59
			is the one mighty one. How do you
prove that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:03
			says in Surah, two CASAS verse 68,
what are Buka you have lucuma
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			Yeshua way after your Lord is the
one who creates what he wishes and
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:12
			chooses. Then after that ALLAH
SubhanA wa Surah to sofort 96 wala
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:18
			who halacha Khun Amata Cameroon.
Allah created you and your deeds.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:25
			Allah created you and your deeds.
Number three, so Taquile 29 verse,
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:28
			Allah tertia una Illa
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			Allah Hora Bula lad, I mean,
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:42
			you can't choose a will except
that Allah has willed it, that
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:44
			Allah wills it The Lord of the
Worlds.
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:50
			However, we never know what Allah
wills we just tried to do our
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:54
			will. If Allah has welded it
works, whether it's good or bad,
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:56
			and if Allah has not welded it
doesn't work. It's as simple as
		
00:14:56 --> 00:14:59
			that. I try my best to start to do
something that can
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			doesn't start. The battery just
messed up last night. It was fine
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:08
			till yesterday, but I do my part.
But Allah doesn't want me to go to
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			the class not gonna work, for
example, a simple example. But at
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			the end of the day, we can't blame
Allah for messing the car up.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			Because eventually when you figure
it out, you'll find out the
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:18
			battery was quite messed up.
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:21
			Or maybe it was new was faulty.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:25
			I mean, there's always an excuse
in this world, right?
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:31
			For anybody who hasn't heard the
lecture on freewill and how it
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			relates to us and so in detail is
a one hour 15 minute lecture that
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			everybody should listen to it's on
zamzam Academy. I think we need to
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:43
			re name it the mysteries of the
Divine Decree or something because
		
00:15:43 --> 00:15:46
			right now it's called Don't be
depressed you don't know your
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:46
			future.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:50
			Don't be depressed you don't know
your future. It's actually one of
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:53
			the more popular videos after the
100 tutorial videos, I think,
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:57
			right? Because it's a very
important subject. So go ahead and
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			listen to that. Right. Move on the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			sallam said
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:07
			very famous Hadith Kulu Yes, sir
Nima Haleakala, everybody is going
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:10
			to be facilitated towards the path
that they've been created for
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:14
			based on what Allah knows of what
we're gonna do. Right?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			For a moment can I mean early
Saturday so those whom Allah
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20
			subhanaw taala knows they are
going to be people of good fortune
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			then for you yes sir. Only I'm
really sad. Then for them good
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:28
			deeds come easy. Well, I'm mom and
kind of in Alicia cow, but those
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:33
			who are going to be from among the
rich, then for them, the bad deeds
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			come easy.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			And that might happen for a short
amount of time. So don't think
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:41
			you're under Chaka, if you because
you can try to change and you just
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:44
			have to make an effort to change
and then Allah will make it easy
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:45
			in sha Allah.
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:49
			And then Allah the Prophet saw
some read for Imam an outdoor with
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:53
			DACA was a DACA, listener for
Scenario Cyril Julio usara, that
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:56
			Allah essentially in the Quran,
Allah is telling us how to get
		
00:16:56 --> 00:17:01
			better for a moment after the one
who gives what DACA and has Taqwa
		
00:17:01 --> 00:17:05
			God fear, right? Fear a fear of
Allah. Was that DACA Bill husana.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			Right, he is true to the goodness
that they do sincerity and
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:13
			everything. We're going to make
that path easy for them. While I'm
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:18
			in Canada with Allah and the one
who denies who turns away, then
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:20
			that's going to be bad way. We
don't do that in sha Allah, we
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:24
			want to be proud of the first
group. So then the idea is that
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:28
			once that becomes clearly
established, and how can a person
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:31
			ask Allah for a reward when it's
Allah was letting me do it. It's
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:34
			like you go to somebody who let
you use his car.
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:40
			Right? To get to do something that
you wanted to do he let you use
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:43
			his car gave you petrol
facilitate, call the person for
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:46
			you everything. And then you went
and did it and then you come I
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:50
			said, Can you pay me for this? I
want to facilitate I gave you a
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:54
			car, organize it I gave you a
booking every now you're, you want
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:56
			to reward like, that's your
problem.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:17:59
			So
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:06
			how can a servant ask for a reward
on a deed that he is not the real
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:08
			doer of the real DOER of
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:14
			okay? The deed is attributed to me
at least. Okay, I might be
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			facilitated by Allah. But at the
end of the day, I'm the one who
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:20
			pushed for it and like a scene
everybody's gonna say I did it.
		
00:18:20 --> 00:18:20
			Right.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:27
			Okay, even if that's the case,
reward has to be done based on
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			acceptance. Was your deed an
accepted one even if you did it
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:34
			Okay, fine. How do you know it's
an accepted deed? That has all of
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:35
			the great ingredients of
acceptance.
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			For me in 130 Halle Hakuna Maka
Mulan hola how you're going to
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			find out and figure out and
determine whether Is there a
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			website you can go to tech in
here, this was my prayer. The
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:51
			camera was on me check it out. And
you know, I had ECG you know on my
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:56
			head and my heart right
Subhanallah right you know, and it
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:00
			measured everything about me you
can tell whether it's a sincerity
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:03
			or not whether it's even that you
can't tell with accepted or not
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:06
			that just might show you might was
focused but it's not gonna show us
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:09
			they accepted by Allah because he
might want you know, he wants it
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:10
			perfect.
		
00:19:11 --> 00:19:15
			There is a there is a twist here,
right? Wait for it.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			And okay, even if Allah subhanaw
taala has been graceful by
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:25
			accepting it, despite all of your
shortcomings in it, and all of
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:28
			your whisperings and distractions
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:33
			that would be sufficient then for
you that would be then sufficient
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			as a reward for you anyway.
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:39
			That he's just accepted. Okay,
fine. We'll take it off. He did
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:42
			it. That's enough. Why do you want
to reward on top of that?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			For Lola, Jimmy last Saturday, he
let me you're gonna look, let me
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			you're going to have a look at LM

00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			saying had it not been for his
beautiful veil, his amazing,
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:56
			elegant
		
00:19:57 --> 00:20:00
			veil, where he veils us from
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			all the weird things that go on in
our mind and other things, your
		
00:20:03 --> 00:20:07
			action would never be worthy of
acceptance. It's so deficient.
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:11
			follow Allah and Allah subhana wa
Tada taffeta Allah Allah I buddy
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			he will actually will Hill had it
not been for the fact that Allah
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:20
			subhanho wa Taala mostly deals
with his servants, and graces them
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:25
			and is benevolent to them with his
forgiveness and clemency and
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			pardoning and overlooking Mark
Kabila Andalan kottu. He'd never
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			accepted it because whose deed is
perfect
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:37
			is the sphere to Lama al Qaeda the
criminal mohale Because to get a
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:42
			such a perfect need that's worthy
of Allah is well nigh impossible.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:47
			They shouldn't put you off. The
only point he's making is that for
		
00:20:47 --> 00:20:51
			Allah the way it should be,
because he's so perfect, to get a
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:55
			deed that so perfect to give to
him is like near impossible.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:01
			Right? He doesn't call it
impossible. He says near
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:04
			impossible because it's very
difficult probably only prophets
		
00:21:04 --> 00:21:08
			can do it because they know Allah,
and is so focused their full
		
00:21:08 --> 00:21:12
			knowledge of Allah as much as
anybody could have maximum only
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:15
			they can produce something we just
don't we have so many
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			distractions.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:23
			Allah says mama cada Rue La haka
cadre citizenry they did not
		
00:21:25 --> 00:21:29
			give the value to Allah as much as
this is right. They have not

			valued Allah as much they don't
understand the position of Allah
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:36
			as much as this is right. We can't
just we need to do a lot more to
		
00:21:36 --> 00:21:37
			get that.
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:44
			Allah subhanaw taala also says in
Surah Ibis or whatever Allah can
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:50
			Lum, yah Kadima, Amara never name
they have not been able to fulfill
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			what they have been commanded.
Meaning we might do the praying
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:56
			and we fulfill our commands or
praying and we've just fasted for
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:01
			30 days and or 20 days or whatever
it was right. But was it up to
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:02
			scratch?
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:07
			were commanded to do it mostly
seen Allahu Deen Alma O'Meara
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			Ilaria Bula meclizine Allah
within, they've only been
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:13
			commanded to give it to him fully
with sincerity. Have you been able
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:18
			to do that? Yeah, you've been able
to do a form of it, but never 100%
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:23
			Then Allah in certain, Tov says,
will equal Adina Jakob Dhawan,
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:28
			whom accent I'm used to. But Allah
is so gracious he says, These are
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			the people though, who we will
accept the best of them they do.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:37
			We know your weak we know your
division. You do your best, and
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:42
			we'll forgive will overlook will
pardon and we'll accept
		
00:22:43 --> 00:22:46
			the best of you as long as it fits
a certain criteria, we'll accept
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			it. Without that we'd be we'd be
destroyed.
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			That's why Allah's Rama always
dominates his huddle. If he wants
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			to deal with us in fairly like do
it right. You get it if you don't
		
00:22:57 --> 00:23:00
			do it, right. You don't get it,
forget it. We'd be lost. But he
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:01
			allows so much.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			Now what's interesting here in
this verse, whether you can Latina
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:12
			Anita cabello and whom asked anima
Emmylou for Arabic Nakamura, we
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:14
			will accept and whom on their
behalf.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:19
			Allah didn't say mean whom, which
means we're going to accept from
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:24
			you. Rather, he said, we're going
to accept on on, you know, on your
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:25
			behalf,
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:29
			the best of what you do. What that
means is,
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:33
			we're going to accept from you
that it must be perfect. But
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:37
			because we're going to allow so
much and we're going to ignore so
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			much, you're like, I'll allow this
to be from you. Even though it's
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:44
			not perfect. We're going to allow
this as though it came from you.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:50
			Meaning we're going to forgive a
lot to get to get it to be
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			accepted. Because if Allah
subhanaw taala didn't overlook
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:56
			many of the deficiencies, we won't
have accepted it. So that's what
		
00:23:56 --> 00:23:57
			he that's what he's saying.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:04
			Why does Allah subhanaw taala then
accepted Lee Alimi Karami working
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			reason Allah accepts it because
number one, he doesn't need your
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:11
			perfect deed is not going to
enrich him in any way. He just
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			wants you to do it. So okay,
that's the best you can do. You
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:15
			put your full effort. I'm going to
accept it even though it's
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			deficient because I don't really
need it anyway. And number two,
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:23
			because I'm benevolence I'm kind
of generous. That's why I'm going
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:23
			to do it.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28
			Full hamdulillah Heda even Lilla

			that Hello, coffee Hill Iman,

00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			Taala for now
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:06
			not to ask him for a reward of
your deed, but to ask him from his
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:10
			grace, you will get much more out
of your grace because you've got
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:17
			more to look forward to and to get
something from his grace, to pull
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:20
			from that, rather than say, This
is my deed, give me something,
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			because our deed is usually
different, nearly always
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:27
			deficient, but we're better off
and we got more chance of getting
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			so Oh Allah, I've done whatever I
could just give me from your
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			grace. Just give me because you're
kind just give me because you're
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:39
			my Lord, and only you can give me
ask him in those ways.
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44
			And then you're better off getting
things from that. So having read
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:48
			all of this, I think this makes it
very, very, very clear. Sheikh
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:51
			Abdullah can go here in his
commentary of this says, It should
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:55
			be understood that Allah is the to
true DOER of all actions, the true
		
00:25:55 --> 00:26:00
			facilitator and everything.
Therefore in worship, the servants
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:05
			gaze should be on Allah Most High,
he should understand that Allah
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:09
			Most has created the act of
worship in him, and that it is his
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:13
			favor. Since the servant is not
the creator of his own good deeds,
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			it is highly improper for him to
desire compensation as though it
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:17
			is his right.
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:22
			Therefore, if he is only in
pursuit of reward, then sincerity
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			is going to be negated. In fact,
the seven deserves to be
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:29
			apprehended, on account of this
deficiency. Don't go around
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:31
			telling this to people who don't
pray already.
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:36
			Because this is, once you get on
track, you will understand Allah
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:41
			you start loving Allah, then you
increase this, otherwise they're
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:44
			going to think, man, that's just
too difficult. Allahu Allah,
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:47
			Allahu Allah. You know, sometimes
people are in tune with these
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			things, they understand these
things. Because if you understand
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:53
			the logic behind it, the reality
behind it, it makes perfect sense,
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			right? In the five, six different
aphorisms where he's explained, it
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			makes perfect sense that don't ask
for reward. Number one, Allah
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:02
			choosing you to do it is a good
enough reward. Allah giving you
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			the ability to do it is a good
enough reward. And if you do ask
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:08
			for a reward, and why are you
asking reward for something
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			deficient? Were you perfect in it?
Did you take all of the boxes? Was
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			it befitting Allah subhanaw taala.
I mean, it's just good enough that
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:17
			you don't get punished for this
kind of offering that you gave
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			like what kind of punishment I
mean, in the in the world when
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:23
			there's cruel people if you if you
have to, you know, suck up to
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			them, someone you have to give
them something, they'll probably
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:29
			knock you out. If it's not worthy
of their Allah is not cool like
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:32
			that. That's the thing. So you're
better off just asking, just doing
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			it because I'm a slave of Allah.
He deserves it anyway, I'm a slave
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:36
			of Allah, I need to do it. Then
after that, he's going to look
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:39
			after me anyway, I don't have to
worry about that. He's going to
		
00:27:39 --> 00:27:41
			look after me. Anyway, those of
you who didn't listen to the last
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44
			one, you should listen to the last
two or three, because that really
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:47
			adds to this. Right? And
hopefully, I've been able to put
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:48
			it all together today.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:55
			And insha Allah so that it
continues, it continues on to
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:57
			another theme Insha Allah, we'll,
we'll do that next time. May Allah
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			subhanho wa Taala give us the
tofield and may Allah subhanho wa
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:04
			Taala grant us from his column,
and from his generosity, and from
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:08
			his grace and father and his
benevolence, because that's all
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			and that's why prophesy also made
it very, very clear when he said
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:14
			that you're not going to go into
paradise with your deeds.
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:19
			Yes, your deeds, you usually
usually you need deeds to get to
		
00:28:19 --> 00:28:23
			Paradise. But you're not going to
go to Paradise because of your
		
00:28:23 --> 00:28:26
			deeds, you're gonna go because of
the karma of Allah. You're gonna
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			go because of the grace of Allah.
That's why these people have gone
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			into paradise literally this
Sahabi this non Muslim at the turn
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:37
			of our service and became Muslim.
And there was a battle going He
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:41
			just joined the battle become
Shahid and never prayed, never
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:45
			fasted, never did any other good
deed except that and he's gone to
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:45
			Jana.
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:47
			Grace of Allah.
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:51
			May Allah make it easy for us. May
Allah make it easy for us and may
		
00:28:51 --> 00:28:55
			Allah accept from us whatever we
do, may Allah protect us along to

Hannah rhombic Ramona is a DMARC
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:01
			phone was sent out when I want to
say you know what hamdulillah here
		
00:33:01 --> 00:33:01
			is.
		
00:33:03 --> 00:33:07
			The point of a lecture is to
encourage people to act to get
		
00:33:07 --> 00:33:12
			further an inspiration, and
encouragement, persuasion. The
		
00:33:12 --> 00:33:16
			next step is to actually start
learning seriously, to read books
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:33:19 --> 00:33:23
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:27
			of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:33:27 --> 00:33:33
			courses so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
		
00:33:33 --> 00:33:35
			whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:39
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on the Islamic essentials
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:44
			certificate, which you take 20
Short modules, and at the end of
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:49
			that inshallah you will have
gotten the basics of most of the
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:52
			most important topics in Islam and
you will feel a lot more
		
00:33:52 --> 00:33:54
			confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:57
			to live, you know, to listen to
lectures, but you need to have
		
00:33:57 --> 00:34:00
			this more sustained study as well
as local law here and Salam
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02

barakato.
