AI: Summary ©

The conversation discusses the concept of "immaturity," which is defined as finding one thing or person. It is not about finding one thing, but rather finding one is. The main focus is finding one is, and the main purpose is finding one is. The concept of immaturity is not about satisfied with a relationship with Allah, but rather finding one is. It is important to show proper deeds and behavior to avoid confusion and mistakes, and individuals are required to achieve their individual goals.

early he asked me he raka was

			Hichem Rahim Allah Allah may Allah
subhanho wa Taala bless the
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27
			author. If not, I thought Allah is
secondary. Today we are on
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:36
			aphorism number 147 which is on
page 198 He says Mata couldn't
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:44

00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			high level one.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			Anybody who this, this will
resonate with those who want to be
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			close to Allah and want some kind
of evidence that they are close to
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			Allah.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:31
			Those who feel that they've made
an achievement as being close to
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:37
			Allah subhanaw taala and not a
lovers of the world, or not lovers
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:43
			of fame and game, not lovers of
material objects.
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:48
			Meaning they, they could have
these things, but they don't love
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52
			these things. When can a person
consider himself to have said to?
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			To think that yes, I'm there now.
But I'm not sure even if a person
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			would think that way, but this is
a good test or what he says is
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			that if when given something, the
giving expands you.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:12
			And if when deprived of something,
the deprivation contracts, you
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:19
			then take that, then take that as
the proof of your immaturity and
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			the insincerity of Your
servanthood
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			so when we're given something and
mashallah we're getting either
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:33
			gifts so we're getting fame or
we're getting praises, or things
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			are just happening well in our
life. And that
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			helps to expand us.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			Now of course you feel happy, when
things happen. This is talking
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:49
			about you feel as if spiritually
you're in a better place. But then
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			when you get deprived of something
this is the true test when you get
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			deprived it contracts you
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			it creates a contraction that am I
not liked by Allah Am I hated by
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			this is a very constant feeling. A
lot of people actually have this
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:07
			feeling that when things don't go
well for them, that is when they
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			start with Allah doesn't like me
or something like that. And when
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13
			everything is going well they
think Allah likes them. There's a
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			deception in both there could be a
deception in both. So then what he
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			says really interesting, I mean,
the English doesn't do justice to
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			the Arabic says first that they
will be vertically taken evidence,
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:25
			take that as a proof of your
immaturity.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30
			To he translates to fully This is
Victor Danis translation of to
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			fully as immaturity.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:39
			I mean, consequentially it is
immaturity. But I'll explain what
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			the exact word to fully I mean,
just a really interesting idea
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:47
			that came from an incident. Right?
And the insincerity of Your
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			servanthood meaning you're not
truthful in you're truly being a
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			servant of Allah. Because the
servant of Allah subhanho wa
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			taala, was supposed to be
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:03
			pleased and happy. status quo,
whatever it is. So if we're thrown
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:06
			left and right, when it comes to
being given things, receiving
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:11
			things or not given things, then
it means we're not there yet. This
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			is a difficult stage to reach
where everything becomes the same
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			for a person, as long as they are
as long as they know they pleasing
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:20
			Allah, that's what matters for
them.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			So I think it's not more about
whether something makes them happy
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			or pleased. It's more about as
long as Allah is pleased. And once
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			that's the main focus, because it
can't be an absentee it can't be
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			this kind of idea that I don't
care if I get good or bad. I mean,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			like a stable state, but with what
what what are you getting from
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			that stable state? So the main
purpose is that your love for
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			Allah is there. And the connection
with Allah is felt, and that as
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:50
			long as you pleasing Allah, that's
where you're satisfied about, then
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			these things should not matter. So
he's not talking about these
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			things not mattering in a vacuum
because what's the point of that?
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			That means you just cared us you
don't care. People like that.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			People who don't care about
anything, they've just given up
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:06
			with life or they just don't care,
they just relaxed, or they just
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:09
			lay back. They don't care whether
they get praised. There's lots of
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:12
			criminals, they don't care if they
get, if they
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:16
			get deprived, they just, they just
want to be losers in the world.
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			So it's not about this being an
absentee this is about, you're so
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24
			satisfied with your connection
with Allah, then this does not
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26
			matter because you feel you're
pleasing Allah.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			So let's look at this. The
important word here, he says is
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			that if if you if this is, if you
do feel this way, where you
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:39
			contract and expand when given
when deprived or given
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:44
			respectively, then it means that
you should take this as evidence
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:47
			that you still have to fully now
what is to fully
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:53
			to fully accompany this concept of
the TOEFL, the TOEFL to faily,
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:54
			it's essentially
		
00:05:56 --> 00:05:59
			you can say gatecrashing,
somewhere, you're not really
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			invited, and you end up, you turn
up there, and you try to fit into
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			the group, either to get some food
from there to eat, you know, in,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			in the invitation at the
restaurant at the reception, or
		
00:06:12 --> 00:06:14
			you just want to be part of
something because I don't know,
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:17
			you know, there's some perks there
or whatever you want to be, but
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			you're not really of them. So you
dress up as them, or you just get
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			in or you get just sleeping with
somebody else. That's to fully How
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			did that come about?
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:32
			Generally, in the Arabic idiom,
they refer to that as somebody who
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			generally gets in get crushes or
walima, like a doubt of some sort,
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			just for the sake of eating. So
somehow, access is part of the
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:43
			family or whatever, and it just
goes in, right?
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:51
			Where did this word come from? To
fully? It actually came from this
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:56
			because twofold. The root of that
is difficult, which essentially
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:57
			means child.
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			So now you can understand why
Victor Danny's saying it's
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:04
			immaturity and still like a child.
But what really happened was that
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			there was a person in Kufa.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			Right there was a man in Kufa,
from the venue, Abdullah hirato.
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:15
			He is from that tribe. And he
eventually became known as to
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:21
			failure to failure Aras
Gatecrasher, essentially to
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:25
			welcome us to weddings, because he
used to go to all of them without
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:30
			being invited there. And he used
to just dress up or pretend that
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:33
			he's part of the tribal group or
whatever. And he used to go. So
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:38
			essentially, that's where you get
this idea for anybody who just
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:42
			kind of comes in to any kind of
group, or invitation or Fudo.
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:47
			uninvited, that's essentially
where this word comes from. From
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:50
			this bundle, Abdullah agnihotra
fan, this man from that tribe.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:57
			So what the author is saying here
the is that anybody who tries to
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			now be part of a group and say
that I'm a Sufi, I'm close to
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			Allah, I'm a Willie of Allah. You
know, I'm a righteous man. But
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:10
			then he's going through these
fluctuations, it's only good. If
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			there's good things coming in. If
there's good things happening, if
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:16
			there's materialistic
achievements, otherwise, the
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			person becomes dark. Otherwise,
the person's life becomes
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			miserable, and dark when they're
not being given. Right. So that's
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			why and this is the life of a lot
of people on social media. This is
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:32
			the life of people on social
media, even those who claim I
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:35
			mean, this is a challenge on
social media. And for those who
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			claim that they're doing something
religious update, because if you
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			don't get the likes, and you feel
like what's the point.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:43
			And then especially when you start
comparing yourself with somebody
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			else who gets even more likes,
more hits more followers, then
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			you're even in a bigger mess. But
if somebody is on there, and
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			they're trying to benefit people,
and there's 10 people benefiting
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			Alhamdulillah, and they're happy
with that 50 People 100 People
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			that benefit, they're not looking
at those who have a million, or
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:02
			500,000 or 100,000 or 50,000, or
whatever, you know,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			they just trying to do their best,
oh person who reckons This is what
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			the author is saying that the
person who reckons that they are
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:15
			somewhere with ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada. And you're only there when
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:18
			Allah subhanaw taala is opening
the doors of his treasures and His
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			bounties upon you worldly
bounties. So you're getting
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:25
			riches, you're getting money,
you're getting wealth, you're
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:28
			getting praise, you're getting
fame, you're getting likes, you're
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			getting followers,
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:32
			or
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			you've got good health, you're
enjoying good health, and you
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			generally feel secure and
everything else. And all the other
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:44
			fool desires that you get, you get
invited out and all the rest, you
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			know, to eat and other places. So
you get really excited. But as
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:51
			soon as there's a setback, as soon
as you didn't get something you
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:57
			expected, or it stopped coming, or
you became sick, you became ill,
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:00
			or something happened. That's why
a lot of people be
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			came miserable in the downturn in
the lockdown, a lot of people
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			became miserable. They just didn't
know what to do.
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09
			They just didn't know what to do,
of course, it affects you, and it
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:13
			changes your whole lifestyle. But
those people who are connected to
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			Allah just adjust faster than
those people who are not
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			connected. Because for them, it's
all about the outside life. It's
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			all about meeting someone. It's
all about being somewhere when
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			they could not do that it was
difficult, there was no
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:29
			adjustment, adjustment was very,
very difficult, because how life
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:33
			is of that style. So if Allah
subhanaw taala now changes your
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:35
			prosperity, your bank balance,
rather than going up is now going
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			down your fame, you actually
losing people, there's criticism
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:44
			upon you, you're getting into
controversy, right? And instead
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			of, you know, your, your dignity
and everything like that, people
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			are abandoning you, they're not
coming to you. Right, they don't
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:52
			care about you anymore.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:59
			So your internal feeling of
expansion is now contraction. And
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:04
			or maybe you you're very healthy,
very fit. And now suddenly, you've
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:10
			been overcome by some kind of
debilitation. Weakness, you can't
		
00:11:11 --> 00:11:13
			do what you were doing, right.
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			Or initially, you had no
challenges. And now you're full of
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			challenges. And you just don't
know you can't really, you know,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23
			you even in challenges you have to
remember, it's Allah subhanho wa
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:27
			Taala provides them, right. So
then what happens is that you
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			become really, really terrorized
by that.
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:34
			The world becomes a very, very
dark place, and you start
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:39
			thinking, what doesn't know Nabila
who do noona and you start having
		
00:11:39 --> 00:11:42
			all sorts of ideas about Allah
subhana wa Tada. So now, just
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:46
			understand that you are never
there anyway. First study will be
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:52
			30 kada, through booty, so booty,
tata fulica, Allah Calamy him, you
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:55
			are just basically trying to act
like a righteous person, you are
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			not really a righteous person.
		
00:11:58 --> 00:12:01
			So this is probably not going to
be relevant to people who never
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			who never think there anything
anyway. Right? Because it's not
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			that
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			you have no place of this, you're
not on that MACOM and that station
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:12
			yet.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			You're just like that person who,
who used to get invited to the
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:19
			limos. And eventually they figured
out, so they told everybody who
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:24
			you are. So now you can't go into
them. You're still in slumber. But
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:28
			the main thing about that is that
it just goes to show forget about
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:33
			the place. Now, the bigger problem
here is not that you're not there.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:37
			The bigger problem here I think
that that is really effect that is
		
00:12:37 --> 00:12:42
			really detrimental here is that
you're not true in your seeking.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:47
			You're not true. In what you're
trying to be. You're not true in
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:50
			the fact that you are a servant of
Allah, you're not fully a servant
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			of Allah, yet you still feel like
you're a servant of other things.
		
00:12:54 --> 00:12:57
			Because if you're a servant of
Allah, then all of these things as
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			long as you've got that focus of
Allah in your mind, then all of
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:03
			these things should be the same to
you. Because you know that you're
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:06
			with Allah. So as I said, this is
not about a person who doesn't
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			care about that either. who's just
a loser who doesn't care.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:11
			That's why
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:17
			a poet says regarding his friends
about his truthfulness and his
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:21
			sincerity with his associates and
his friends, he says,
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:29
			a hit by unto us in the room as
for Kunal or a buyer into a center
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:33
			for Kunal Kumar ship to another
vertical Hill, Lou,
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:42
			you are my beloved, you are my
friends. Whether life does well
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:44
			for me, or for us, or does bad
meaning.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			If there's a something that comes
up in between us or not, you're
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			sick. I've sincerely offered you
my friendship. I'm going to be
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:56
			your friend, regardless come thick
or thin. So you'll be whatever you
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:01
			want. But I'm going to be truthful
in my in my relationship, in my
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:02
			friendship,
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			say that your spouse say that to
your friends say that to your
		
00:14:07 --> 00:14:10
			brothers. Your sisters, say that
to people if you truly want to be
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:14
			a friend. That's the idea that
Allah I'm with you regardless of
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:18
			what comes regardless of what
happens. abou Earthman al Healy,
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:24
			one of the famous ascetics of the
past or the ALLAH and he says lyac
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:28
			Molar Lakmal Raju had died
yesterday we have people be arbury
		
00:14:28 --> 00:14:33
			to Asha, a human beings cannot be
accomplished in the sight of Allah
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:38
			can't be incompletion accomplished
in their, in their faith in their
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			standing with Allah subhanho wa
Taala until four things become
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:44
			absolutely equal to them. It
sounds very difficult. But if we
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:48
			don't know this concept, we can't
even kind of adjust ourselves to
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:53
			try to even get to it. So he says,
in being prevented from something
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			in being given something makes no
difference. How I don't know.
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			That's a difficult one. Well, it
is
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:05
			withdrawal and in dignity and
respect or in humiliation. There's
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:08
			lots of stories of humiliation
Subhanallah look at the
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:12
			Palestinian people how humiliated
they are. The pretty much the
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:16
			whole world has abandoned them in
a sense, right especially
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			governments and things like that
is very few of them. The dignity
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:20
			the
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:25
			they always have alone the lips
mashallah they always chanting,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar La
ilaha illallah
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:35
			when that guy lost his fiancee
said she's become shaheed.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:40
			That was really amazing to think
of Allah at that moment that she's
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			gone as a shaheed. Just imagine,
what are these ideas you had?
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			All of these dreams you had? What
are these ambitions you had? And
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:52
			this fiance is now gone. What are
you going to remember right now,
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:55
			it's only if Allah is in your
heart, you'll be able to think Oh,
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:58
			but she's gone to a better place.
So now generally, when you've got
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:03
			a person who, when they're in the
right state, meaning when the
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06
			circumstances are correct, then
they start acting up and they
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:11
			start acting like the boss. But
when has he mean the hammer little
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			Abdol but when they get attacked
by the brave ones, then they then
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:19
			they suffer defeat than firemen
who died before her. They know
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:24
			that that person is really, really
in reality, very weak moto Tofino
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:30
			and Allah mahkamah T region, is
just trying to get himself invited
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:36
			into the ranks of the true people
of the true men. Now, the author,
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:39
			he's got another book. I think
it's his book called the 10. When
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:43
			he says in there that Allah
subhanho wa taala, sometimes
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:48
			through his wisdom, Allah subhanho
wa taala, sometimes test the
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:52
			people who claim to be close to
him, right, those who claim to
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:56
			others especially because you
can't claim to align close to you,
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:59
			because ALLAH knows and we know,
but when you claim to other
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:03
			people, so Allah subhanaw taala,
tests them sometimes to see, and
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			he knows they're not truthful. So
he does this to actually expose
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			them.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			Be it hurry, marketer Moomin
erotica, by revealing and making
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:17
			manifests the actual desire they
actually have of the world. So it
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			becomes very clear that these
people are very worldly, they're
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:22
			given a position of a worldly
position, you can tell now that
		
00:17:22 --> 00:17:27
			they become indulgent in that and
what they hide of their desires.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:33
			So then these people end up bowing
down flattering, the those that
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:36
			they think they can get some
worldly benefit from worldly
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:37
			individuals,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:41
			people who they think they're
gonna get something out of this
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:43
			world for them, they start
fluttering those people, they
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:48
			start becoming conducive to them,
and they start appearing at their
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			doors, and they leave what they
were originally doing. That's when
		
00:17:51 --> 00:17:55
			they lose all of the pretense
because now they seem to have used
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			the system that they were involved
in. And now they've almost like
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			reach their price. So they give up
this system, they give up their so
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			called worship, the way they used
to dress maybe the way they used
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:11
			to worship and the claims they
used to make because now they've
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:16
			really got their objective, which
was a position somewhere the world
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			some gifts, money, influence or
whatever it is.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			So Allah subhanaw taala reveals
them. So at least people are not
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:28
			deceived by them. That's the main
thing that these people don't
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:32
			deceive others. However, the true
ones, they will recognize these
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			people, people will start seeing
that these are Allah equal caribou
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:38
			and Allah Allah these people were
liars. They were just making
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			claims before Assad, Donal Eva and
Sabeti Olia Illa, these people
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:45
			thought that they were leading
other peoples in people in the
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:48
			right direction, but they're
actually preventing people from
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:53
			true companionship with the
earlier of Allah. Essentially,
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:57
			these are people who are banging
the drums of the war. A good
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			parable, banging the drums of war,
putting on the armor,
		
00:19:02 --> 00:19:06
			spreading out their flags, to go
to war.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:13
			And as soon as the attack as soon
as they met the enemy, then they
		
00:19:14 --> 00:19:15
			turn back and around.
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:18
			They just claims on their tongue.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:22
			We're Kulu whoo hoo ha we are two
minute Taqwa.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:27
			How we are two minute taqwa, their
hearts to actually completely
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:31
			devoid of any kind of fear of
Allah subhanho wa taala.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:36
			That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala
in Surah Al Azhar, Verse eight
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:40
			says LEUs al Assad the Akina and
CDP him, can you believe this?
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:45
			That the truthful ones, Allah is
going to ask them and question
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			them about their truthfulness. So
imagine that if we're not even
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			truthful, we don't even claim to
be truthful, then there's clearly
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:57
			going to be a question there. So
the truthful answer questions
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:59
			about their purity and sincerity.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:02
			than those who are not true for
they're going to be questioned as
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:02
			well.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala
says you think is going to leave
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:10
			people without being questioned
because questioning is for
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:15
			everyone the reckoning. Allah says
in surah Tober verse 105, what
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			Cody MaryLu first said Allah Who
am Allah kumara su will not be
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:23
			known was the Torah dunya Illa
Ironman Arabia was shahada, for
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:28
			unibit will call me my quantum
thermolon. And say, that you carry
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:33
			on, do the work, practice and
Allah subhanaw taala will surely
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:37
			see your deeds, and so will His
messenger and the believers will
		
00:20:37 --> 00:20:41
			see it as well. Believers are seen
as a proof as well for this, not
		
00:20:41 --> 00:20:44
			just Allah and His Messenger,
they're obviously that approved by
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:50
			even believers are considered to
be proof. We take them to be proof
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			if people if many people consider
somebody to be a nice person, we
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:57
			generally take their word for it,
we still have a bit of caution,
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:58
			but we take their word for it.
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:02
			And then Allah subhanaw This is
all in the world. But Allah
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			subhanaw taala says, then you will
be returned to the knower of all
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:10
			the unseen and the seen, and then
he's going to tell you what you
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14
			used to do. May Allah allow us to
stand properly on that day. So he
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:18
			says that don't be like those
people who seem to outwardly act
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:22
			and dress and other things as
righteous people as truthful ones.
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:29
			But inside the ignorant inside,
they are negligent Sheikh Abdullah
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:32
			Ganga he, he adds a bit to this,
this is his conclusion of this
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:38
			aphorism. He says, Oh traveller,
meaning Oh seeker. If your
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			condition is such that you worship
and remember Allah with
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:46
			concentration and relish, when he
showers favours on you, but when
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			these favors are withheld, you
become and you become disappointed
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			and despondent in worship, then
know that in the Divine Court,
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57
			you're not regarded as one of the
people of Allah. You may let other
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:00
			people know that, but actually,
that your name isn't recorded.
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:03
			You're telling everybody you got
this big degree. But if you
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:06
			actually go on, ask Oxford, you
actually didn't do anything there.
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:12
			Or wherever, for that matter. You
are not the people of Allah, that
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			Allah Allah, you are only claiming
to be among the people of Allah,
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:17
			but your claim is false.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:22
			If you are truly among the people
of Allah, then this would not have
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			been your condition. When things
were withheld from you, you would
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			have dealt with it, you would not
have freaked out. Your attitude
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:34
			indicates that you are not true in
your servanthood and worship. Your
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:38
			state indicates that the quest for
pleasures of the ego still look in
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:43
			you, you are still inclined to the
acquisition of your egos goals,
		
00:22:44 --> 00:22:47
			and hopes this attitude is a
negation of the state of
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:50
			servanthood and indicates slavery
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:56
			to the ego. However, now he
clarify something which is very
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			important for us to clarify,
right?
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			Because just because you feel a
bit contract contracted in your
		
00:23:01 --> 00:23:04
			heart when something goes wrong,
doesn't mean that this is us.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:07
			Insha Allah, I mean, I think I'm
here I am, this is my example
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:12
			anyway. But however, he says if
the hearts constriction is on
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:16
			account of fear of a trial imposed
by Allah Most High,
		
00:23:17 --> 00:23:18
			you fear that Allah has
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:25
			putting you in a really bad test.
And that trial is a manifestation
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:29
			of the Wrath of Allah Most High.
So now you want to please Him, and
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:32
			you see this as a sign that Allah
is displeased at you.
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:39
			Right? And, and you want to try to
please Allah again, see, the
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			person I talked about earlier? We
feel that Allah has forsaken them,
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:45
			they start complaining about
Allah. That's the difference
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:48
			between these people and those
people. You start complaining of
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:50
			Allah or you know, whatever, this
that and the other and then like,
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:52
			I'm not going to worship Why,
what's the point of worshiping?
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			I've been asking for solo, nothing
happens. Look what's happened to
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			me, where's my dollars gone? Is
Allah really there or not? You
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:02
			know, and so on and so forth.
These people, they actually start
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:06
			turning back to Allah, that if
this is a rough, then I must ask
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			for forgiveness and protection.
And the uncertainty of now the
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:14
			another thing they worried about
is they have an uncertainty of
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:17
			maintaining patience and
steadfastness during the trial. Am
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21
			I going to be able to hack this
trial? See, a Ubud is on the story
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			about him is that he just relaxed
all the way, even though became
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			worse and worse and worse and
worse and worse. And then
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:31
			eventually, the only time he
actually he was he had rather Bill
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:35
			cover, not even sober. The highest
status was actually satisfied
		
00:24:35 --> 00:24:39
			whatever Allah had given him, even
though he lost everybody, he lost
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43
			his physical, you know, health and
everything. But eventually when he
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:47
			realized that now, I may not be
able to actually you know, it's
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:50
			getting to a stage where I can't
even do what I need to do for
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:54
			Allah subhanho wa Taala whatever,
like complete debilitation that's
		
00:24:54 --> 00:24:57
			when he asked Allah subhanho wa
taala. So now these people are
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			thinking in the same way that I
don't know if I can deal with
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			This I don't know if I can deal
with this I don't know if I can go
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:05
			through it. Oh Allah helped me Oh
