Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – How to Get More from Your Actions [Hikam 45]
AI: Summary ©
The love of the renowned stage is recognized as the love of life, not just a habit. The "hasn't been enough" concept is related to achieving wealth and being successful in life. The "overlapping" act is a pure act of desire to live in a state of expansion and expansion, while small small actions like taking pictures of oneself and not doing things for too long are important. The importance of devotion and attention to small small actions is emphasized, and protecting the heart and creating sincerity in Islam deeds is emphasized.

So, similar to Nisa, live coding Allahu Allah Karela They only
remember Allah a little. What that means is what that means is that
they may they may be doing to speak for an hour. Right. They may
be doing things for two hours. But because it's with Rafa and
Raghava, because it's with complete heedlessness, and they
focused on the wrong reasons, and they're doing it for the incorrect
purpose. So even though it's looks a lot, it's nothing. You know?
That Hadith was always interesting for me that why is it for a Sahaba
they can give a handful of rice or wheat or Kuduro dates, and that's
superior to a whole mountain given for us of big mustard we will
because they had achieved all of the status.
Alhamdulillah here, Abdullah Al Amin was Salatu was Salam ala
Island Maroussi Ramadan, Lila al Amin were either early he was
software he or the oracle was seldom at the Sleeman Cathy on Eli
Iommi, Dean amerit This this next aphorism which is on page 137,
aphorism number 45.
It will answer today why a small action a small deed from a Sahaba
is superior to huge deeds done by us
where the prophet where the Hadith mentions that for them to give
just a handful of wheat or rice in the path of Allah subhanho wa
Taala is superior for us to give a mountain of gold what what is it
that makes their actions so much more valuable? Even though it may
be so much smaller than our actions? And what is it that
actually magnifies the action despite how small it is for some
people, some people can be sleeping and they will be getting
closer to Allah subhanaw taala than others who are actually
involved in tahajjud. Sounds like for some of us, that will sound
like that's a great idea. I wish I could do that. That only comes
after the after what this explains in terms of a status that is
reached, that is possible that might happen not as a not as a
routine, but in some cases. So this is what he says this is what
if not I thought in this country Rahim Allah, may Allah have mercy
on him he says, Mark Allah Amadon baraza Min colbyn The hidden
Macula I'm alone Milan, Boris them in cold pizza hills. What a
cathedra I'm alone Boris I mean, called Ben raw him.
Amazing. No deed arising from a ring from a renouncing Hearts is
going to be small.
No deed is small when it comes from a renouncing hearts.
And no deeds arising from an avaricious heart is fruitful.
That's his translation. But in other words, no deed that comes
from a heart that is obsessed with the dunya is going to be fruitful,
he says fruitful, says is going to be abundant.
No deed that comes from a heart that is too focused on the world
is going to be abundant, despite how much abundance it despite how
abundant it seems, despite how much it seems.
So what exactly does this mean? So this is now starting on the
chapter of Zumba and abstinence. We've heard this word a lot, the
Tsar hence the Sohar the concept of zone. We've heard this a lot.
You know, any spiritual gathering any spiritual discussion will have
the concept zone. And in the next few aphorisms he really opens up
with zone is and what it does, the benefits of it, how to define it.
So zone in something zoomed in anything you could have zoomed in
anything.
And zoom essentially means Heroku Mohabbat even called
what Baroda to human.
That's what that means if I am going to have zoom out from
luck, luxury products, it means that the love of them come out of
my heart and it goes cold. I'm not excited anymore. So the ZoomIt of
the dunya means the same thing.
The love of it comes out of my hearts, just because the love of
food comes out you still have to eat
the love of fancy houses instead of to live somewhere.
The love of clothing, but you still have to wear something. So
to wear something to live something to drive something to do
something to eat something that's not a problem. It's the love of
it, which is the problem because it's a distraction. So that has to
cool down the excite
None of that has to go away. We use it, we get it, we achieve it,
to run the life, to stay healthy, to be covered, to travel from one
place to the other, to protect ourselves, but it should not be an
obsession of love. That's essentially what it is. That's the
simple meaning of the word so it doesn't tell you give it
everything up. But it says give the love of it.
So if you can drive a really, really fancy car, but we know love
them, try that might be difficult to achieve.
But you know what I'm saying. Others have further explained this
and define them as both do Colima usually do Anila or Yeshua Lu
Ananda,
the hatred or detestation
of anything that takes you away from Allah?
So anything that is going to distract us from Allah, Allah make
this easy for us? Then we despise those things. We dislike those
things.
Well, yeah, we're yabby Swan, Hadera Tila and anything that
prevents us from being in the presence of Allah subhanaw taala.
Even if that's a football match, then he says, the first thing this
has to start with is wealth. Because wealth is like an overall
term for all of these things, isn't it with wealth we do these
things. You know, you can't have design and stuff without wealth,
unless you steal it.
So we're gonna have one and Phil Mal, this has to start with
wealth, and the sign of it, what is the sign that you've achieved
it? When finally uh, yesterday during the whole of the hub word
to rob
when finally having gold or dust is equal to you as long as it does
the job that's what you need it for.
You wouldn't prefer the gold over the dust. Unless it's just that I
need my next meal. We need to buy something if the dust can bite
that's sufficient. I don't mind I don't need the gold to buy it
will fit the whole hijab and silver and stones will Hina will
fucker and being considered rich by wealth and considered poor by
wealth for needy by wealth, while men are well author or whether
Allah is giving you opening up the doors of the wealth or is
preventing it from you as long as you're getting by.
So that's the first thing usually starts with that you have to focus
on that first. That's where we start first, because the other
ones are a bit more difficult. What is the next stage the next
stage we call Athenian Phil Jaya, he will Marathi. The next stage is
that we take the love out of positions
out of positions and fame out of our hearts. And status is how do
we know that we've gotten somewhere there? How do we know
that we've even got a problem? Why number two who and yesterday in a
resume?
That honor
or being lowly is the same? Allah is enough for me, it doesn't make
a difference to me when I get that status and people have a huge
respect for me, or they don't. Because I know Allah loves me.
While I'm trying to love Allah was the horrible human or that I
become famous, I stay low key.
So difficult one, it's because the emotion of all of these things,
the desire for all of these things, they capture our hearts,
especially if you're a person who likes to be out there. It's even
worse. And it's strange, that sometimes you might be alone you
know, a person can be low key introvert, but they somehow want
to be known maybe it's through their writing maybe through
something else. So we had diseased Allah protect us from us.
Well, murder was done, whether you get praised or whether you get
criticized what I refer to as Sukkot, or whether you're seen as
elevated or down.
Okay, this third one then,
so that the first was in wealth. Second one was in positions and
fame and honor. And the third one were called authorities and Phil
mahkamah. The world karama, you will also see yet
yeah, this is a more spiritual that in the spiritual world as
long as I'm focusing on Allah, I don't care about anything, I don't
he says
that the third type of Zuid is when you because once you get away
from all of these things, the when we deal with the wealth and that
becomes okay. And the status becomes a we deal with that. Then
the shaytan is going to attack us in terms of what is your status
now in your, your your spiritual status. So we're going to focus
now on the outer spiritual status right rather than the inner core
and essence of it.
So he says the third your third battle is going to be in terms of
the stations in terms of karma
I'm such a righteous person, I can do the hygiene all the time, I
stopped doing X, Y and Zed How come I don't have any karats? Why
don't any miracles happening?
Why can't I pull money out of you know from not our love for you,
but just so that I can say that mashallah, I'm a Willie of Allah
from from underneath my prayer mats that I bought from Saudi that
new nice thick one with memory foam.
So that's, that's the third level and also seeds, you know, other
special features from Allah subhanaw taala isn't the sign of
that, to know that we don't have that problem anymore is that
fear and hope become equal.
This will take a long time to explain this. And
so we're worshipping Allah, regardless of whether we're in
fear or hope because sometimes fear drives the person more than
hope does. And sometimes hope drives a person to worship, or
away from worship more than the other one does. This one makes no
difference. We are doing our vicar we're doing our obedience, we're
doing what we have to do regardless of that state. A lot of
this will make a lot more sense, while Quwata will dwarf whether
you're feeling strong or weak.
A lot of people when they're sick, they stop their vehicle. When they
get busy, they stop there.
And number three, will bus to welcome. This was very useful.
When you're in a state of expansiveness and expansion. And
you feel like doing it. I feel like praying I feel like sitting I
mean enjoying it. Massara as they say, or I'm not enjoying it. I sit
but I don't know enjoyment in it. The enjoyment from the Salah is
gone. I don't feel like doing it. Those
that kind of
those two feelings don't bother you anymore. You're just you're
steady, you're doing it. They become the same.
Otherwise, we only do it when we feel good. And not when we feel we
don't feel so good. Why should I pray I don't feel anything in it.
You pray because you're a slave of Allah. That's why you do it.
Whether you feel anything or not, I don't get anything out of my
vicar. We knew him for three months now. Just thank Allah you
even doing vicar. That's what you're supposed to do. That's what
he wants from you.
So then he says where you see Ruby ha come I see Ruby ha amazing that
is, he continues on the path to Allah with this one or that one.
Within a state this state or that state he's carrying on his journey
makes no difference whether it's raining or shining. I'm only going
to play football when it's the sun is out, not when it's raining.
This guy carries on.
He is continuing his past to Allah in whatever state it is in this
state and that states we are if if he had come if he had, he knows
his load and he has awareness of his load, whether he's in this
state or that state.
He is mashallah always focused on his Lord, whether he's feeling
good or bad.
Whether he's on a journey or at home, whether he's busy or not,
he's focused on Allah subhanho wa taala.
Then he says, so my Hakuna Zhu, Phil COVID EBSD, he will be sure
who will moko when you only after you've gotten this status, then
you can see our proper side. So remember, the first thing is we
deal with the wealth aspect, the know and money and wealth. The
second state is we deal with positions. And the third one is we
deal with the spiritual aspects of miracles and stuff like that we
just worship Allah because we have to, and that's it, we're studying
that nothing is bothering us anymore. We're very steady with in
that regard. That is a kuramathi in itself. To be regular, is a
Karana and a miracle in itself. There's no bigger Karana than
steadfastness. You're looking for all of these other miracles know
that the miracle is that we can get and that's a miracle to ask
for. Yeah, Allah make me steadfast. He says only when you
come to that level, that's when you need to reach the level of the
Sahaba so he says when a person has established all of this
particular status where everything is the same for him or at least
the majority of it, or most of it, he gets it he develops this to a
great to a great level, then his action will all be great. Even a
small action one Subhanallah this will be great because it's coming
from a pure place
it's coming from a pure focus.
There's there can't be any selfishness in that you're not
doing it for fame anymore. You're not doing it because somebody's
gonna say you're not doing it because you you want to feel good
you're doing it because of Allah.
That's why he's saying them kinda I'm going to Kulu who are women
Kabir on filma Anna in the law, that action any action then you do
is going to be of huge substance and purity
According to Allah subhanho wa Taala we're in Ghana Khalil and
Phil Hester in the NAS, even though people might think that
you're not doing much, okay, he prays,
you know, there's that story of the sahabi of when the prophets
Allah was in the masjid, he said that there's going to be somebody
coming in, who loves Allah and Allah loves him. So everybody's
watching who is it going to be a big Savi somebody well known and a
simple kindness or hobby comes in. So it's I'm gonna live normally
along if I remember correctly, he decides to follow him. And he
tells him Look, I've had some issue at home, can I come and stay
with you? Right? So he goes on stage and he said he used to do
his prayers and everything. And he didn't do much else I was like
very dejected, off the three days that what is so special about him
Subhanallah
and then the person explained that the reason is that I just keep my
heart pure and clean and of hatred or enmity towards anybody. So when
a person is made like that deliver the smallest actions right are
going to be very, very valuable in the sight of Allah subhanahu Tada,
even though they seem to be so small, and that is when one of the
narration say Amarone Colleen on fee pseudoknot in Hiram enamelling
cathedral de vida.
A small action in a sunnah act in a sooner way, is superior to a
huge action in BIDDER and in a in an innovation.
What's the point of doing multiple enough innovated reprehensibly
innovated acts? Rather do a small sunnah act.
This is a pure sudden act is coming from a pure place of
sunnah.
And he says, so now you might think what's better to do with
this? Right? What's the bit to do with this? Because how does that
link together? And mashallah, he says, What are you been getting
out of them? Well, Ashna Amin have been duniya. While inky Bobby
Eliza will call we will call him
which he says which be the innovation is more severe, and
more repugnant than the love of the dunya and just obsessive
obsession with the dunya with the heart and the body. That was not
available that was not present in the time the prophets of the
loaves of
the Sahaba didn't have this bidder.
Right, this HAVO and the Sunnah of proposition. That means that
anybody who doesn't do so they're doing better,
because this isn't the way of the Sahaba this is the way of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam with his companions. So
what better is bigger than that?
That was the that was the benefit of the presence of the prophets of
Allah, why use the love of the dunya it was the love of Him, the
love of Allah, that we just replace everything. But lucky
people they were what fortunate people they are.
He says he wasn't in the time of the Prophet salallahu Salam that
was not the way of the time of the Sahaba either had davara till
Ferrara, Anna until the pharaohs appeared, but he doesn't mean
Madame Tarot Ramses he means the Pharaohs of the dunya and were
living in one of the worst Pharaonic times.
For burner washer you do with Rahu. So they started building an
adjoining and embellishing for her the he he'll be the actual happy.
Yeah, this is the real bidder.
For Amarillo. Hola, Kareem. So such people their action is going
to be always amount to small amounts, even if they build big
mosques, the Grand Mosque of this country in that country,
the Grand Mosque of this leader and that sort of time and that,
that ruler,
the amaryllis colleagues, we're not judging you. This is what you
know, whatever their intention is Allah judges. That's why Allah
subhanho wa Taala says, Well, if Quran Allah Illa Karela.
So that they don't remember a lot except a little. Like, in reality,
they only accept Allah in reality. And we're living in a time when
there's an explosion of products and Dunia
explosion of products and dunya explosion of how you must look.
Never had never had, you know, generations like this where they
look at themselves over and over again in the daytime and actually
take pictures of themselves. You're walking and then suddenly
there's somebody taking picture of themselves. What the heck are you
doing?
What are you doing? They start taking pictures and then taking
they're sitting in a bus, they're sitting on a train, they start
taking pictures of themselves. What like that's a very special
place to be.
They're not even tourists.
The tourists have themselves. How do I look in different places? 100
times a day. What are you gonna do with them?
Subhanallah I mean people. I was in Omaha last week and in Madina
Munawwara and the roof opens up and everybody starts taking a
picture. The umbrellas start opening up and everybody starts
taking a video cycle. What are you doing?
Maybe it's the first time I understand I was a bit I was a bit
amazed when I saw it the first time as well. You know, you know
those umbrellas that open up everything pictures is always
going to be somebody taking a video. For us, it's just oh no
hamdulillah No, but yeah, I guess I guess maybe there's a reason
there. And then And then around the car, but I don't know this
guy's crying and taking pictures. I was shocked about that.
Literally a guy going around to off crying and taking a video of
himself. Hey, how you doing that? Like, how do you Allahu Akbar? How
do you reconcile that like crying at the same time as taking a video
of yourself? And it's like so much focus. I was buying Maqam Ibrahim
waiting for somebody and some guy comes up and he pushes this camera
into my hands like oh, sorry, I'm gonna take a picture. Yeah, I'm
not doing any camera tricks here. You know? Like he probably felt
very very felt that this guy doesn't know what he's talking
about. But I don't know I just felt a bit weird. Allah forgive us
Allah forgive us. Allah forgive us. I mean, so Surah Nisa live
golden Allahu Allah Karela They only remember Allah a little. What
that means is what that means is that they may they may be doing
the speak for an hour. Right? They may be doing things for two hours.
But because it's with Hoffler and Robert, because it's with complete
heedlessness, and they focused on the wrong reasons and they're
doing it for the incorrect purpose. So even though it looks a
lot it's nothing you know?
That Hadith was always interesting for me that why is it for a Sahaba
they can give a handful of rice or wheat or Kuduro dates and that's
superior to a whole mountain given for us or big Masjid we will
because they they they had achieved all of the status that's
why they call Ramallah which said cool new leave caboodle Amelie a
shed a shed the men come at the moment lil Amelie Allah be he said
be more focused that your action be accepted
than actually doing the action itself. So he's not saying don't
do the action. He says once you've done the action, you should be
more focused on getting it accepted. Allah make it easy and
except for in no lumea your pill. I'm alone my Taqwa because when
you have Taqwa the no action is little.
Because the TOCOM is a state of the hearts because it's then
coming from an amazing place. Right? It's coming like somebody
in your life. They don't give gifts they don't do things for
many people and if they do it's very very significant. So a gift
from that person is going to be more significant than somebody
else who does things for you all the time. each other even though
guy does it. But this guy he does the only one is really values.
What can you for your pillow Amarone Utakata value? How can an
action that is accepted, be small?
Any small action it might seem small, but if it's accepted, how
can that be small anymore? Because Allah has accepted it as the
greatest action? Meaning an action that's accepted by Allah is a
great action regardless.
Give no Masuda the Allahu Anhu said rock attorney Menza he denied
a lemon higher on what harboring the law human rebirth until moto
IBD, in which the Idina Isla he did the heavy burden, some burden
or an emphasis. Even It was unbelievable sort of the yellow
one say that says two records from ASA hit, there had been somebody
who's taken the love of art and a renouncing person who is a
knowledgeable personality can you might fall in better otherwise,
say as a knowledgeable person is superior and more beloved to Allah
subhanho wa Taala then the worship and devotion of worshipers while
making extra efforts, all the way and perpetually, permanently until
until the end. So now I think our job is along with the actions we
focus on purifying ourselves, then this even the smallest action will
be the greatest action, it doesn't mean that our actions will become
less, it just means they'll become pure. Then one of the self said
let me a foot call us hub or more humbling sallallahu alayhi salam
Vika throaty Salatin what else yeah, the companions of Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa salam did not surpass you.
Meaning they left you behind your foot come, you've lost them in the
sense that they're gone well ahead. They did not get well ahead
because of abundant prayer and fasting, although there were many
of them who do that, but not all of them necessarily. Right, in the
unknown Colonel as Hatfield dunya. But the one thing they all had by
being Sahaba is that they had the renowned stage renunciation of the
world. The love of that had been taken out, they'd renounce the
world in essence, even though there are people like Abdul Rahman
him now with huge amounts of money as mine even our son is available
on our own, who owned the whole harbor section.
novena Munawwara huge amounts of money for a number of years his
children had to announce in hajj who always who who does my father
owe money to? Because people use this people used to trust him with
the you know with the here's like a bank for people almost. So they
did not split the inheritance until they had an answer a few
years to make sure that everybody's been paid back.
Wealthy like that, but it's not in their hearts. In some of the
in some narratives from the earlier time says that isa Ali
Hassan once passed by a person who's sleeping while other people
around him were making worship. So Sid salaam says stand up you
should also worship like these people are doing he said that but
to your Ruhollah I've already done my devotion Oh, spirits of Allah
or Rojava Allah. So it's a woman a bother to what is your devotion?
What kind of devotion have you done?
He said, Dr. Dunya li Ania I've left the dunya for its people. I'm
not focused on it. I get my little food or whatever it is that's you
know, left the rest for the people. So is it something you go
to see num
and what a what a wonderful worship you are doing
now the thing is as long as that sounds really cool, I can sleep
all day. While make an effort and get to the status first then sleep
all day then it'd be alright
first and set to shakable Hassan Usha the Rahim Allah Marie are on
NASA you are V mon XYZ I see everybody honoring you and
respecting you showing you so much you know respect and so on what
are the what are our like a copyright but I don't see you
doing that many deeds and I don't see you doing you know hundreds of
records of the hedge or whatever it is. What is it that I see you?
You know that I see that people still have a lot of respect for
you as though you're some you know, so he said for calibration
nothing. Why? Just because of one son. There's one sunnah that I
have focused on. If part of the Allahu Allah rasool Allah, which
Allah obligated on His Messenger, Temasek to be her I've adopted
that I've helped foster that one sunnah. What is it? Omar here,
what is it the guy said, Call Alia Radu. uncom one duniya calm. I'm
not focused on your you people and your dunya Meaning I'm not going
to compete with you in the dunya we aspects.
That's just the veiled way of saying I'm focused on Allah
subhanaw taala sheds the rook Rahim Allah says in America is
Zaha Hadid, for the ILA li Salah Theo he explains that why do
people who take the love of out of love of the world etc out of their
hearts, why do they get that position? He said it's because of
three reasons right? So this is something that we need to pay
attention to. Number one, he says is Murphy him in Ferrara hill
called Vianney, Shiva, Shiva, Shiva, what will this do for you
is that it will literally free your heart from a lot of stress.
It will free your heart from
worrying about this and worrying about that. The extra worries so
unless somebody gave me a Khurana it's beautiful Khurana we went to
their offices in Pakistan that is bigger millions of subscribers.
They've done a really nice Khurana and it keeps giving me
notifications and I'm trying to find the ways I three times I've
looked I've turned off all it still gives me
that's a Coronavirus dunya it's a Quran but it's a Quran app. And
it's distracting me because it keeps giving me notifications of
different historical events and stuff like that.
Everything occupies you. Even a Khurana can do that.
So yes, it will take you away from that. It will make you focus on
number two.
The second reason why the Tsar had becomes the wedding of Allah like
that is because
he has now a witness that he really loves Allah subhanaw taala
there's no external witness. It's an internal witness, that he has
sincerity in his love. Why? Because for everybody that dunya
is beloved.
If this guy is turned away from the most beloved thing of most
people in this world, and where does he go? Where do you go? You
can go to Allah them.
Because you either have love of the dunya and that's the only
thing that distracts us from that work. It is what makes us not do
enough work, Miss prayer sometimes do haram disobey Allah, it's
because we love things, or we have to achieve that extra or do that
extra hour of work or to go and do research on a new product,
whatever it is, because all of this costs money All of this
costs, time and efforts right to get a new product and to do the
research on these things. And define them things that are
required and things and earn for these things.
So he has the dunya
Is My Baba. The dunya is usually a bill of things for everybody
loutraki Allah Lima who happened, the only way that you can leave
the dunya is to something that could that has potential to be
more of a beloved. And the only thing that has the potential to be
greater beloved than the dunya is Allah. But people don't know it.
They haven't experienced it. That's why they don't get it. May
Allah make it easy for us? That's why the Prophet sallallahu sallam
said a sadhaka Tober Han.
Interesting sadaqa is a witness. Charity is a witness. Okay, how
does charity become a witness? Meaning you're putting your body
say,
your pinning, you're putting your hands where your mouth is, or
something like that, you know what I mean? So that's why sadaqa is
berghahn you can only spend for the sake of Allah if you have
trust in Allah.
Right? Filler. Allah hug beloved, the robber who that means that
that is the only proof that you love your Lord, if you can give
charity for the sake of Allah. Not because you have so much wealth,
it doesn't really bother you and you're just splashing your dad's
money. Bob Come on, and you just splashing around your friends.
That's not what he means. When you're spending it for the right
reason. You can only do that for the right reason, right? When you
have when it's because, you know, the number three he says is that
in itself to be able to give charity like that, openly and
generously is that it's evidence that you know Allah and you rely
on Him and you trust them. How is the because to be able to spend
what you have like what you already have in your hands, then
you have recognized that this came from Allah He wants me to spend
and he's gonna give me more or he's gonna give me what I need
anyway. That's the only way you can spend
and to stop giving is because you have bad opinion about Allah that
he's given me he's not going to give me any more. What a What an
interesting way to put that the reason you can't spend
is because you think Allah is not going to give you more so that
means you have a bad opinion about Allah the whole lower quality
level
so really good fundraising line
if you're if we're doing a fundraising you know, I'm saying
you know, these professional fundraisers we should give it to
them
mashallah they collect a lot they really get you going donde
Allah give them a floss.
So, that's essentially what it means. So to conclude, we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to assist us in controlling and ultimately
dominating the reasons we acquire whatever we acquire our loves and
passions of the world, our love and passion of positions, and our
love and then passion of being known as a religious person or
having some Kurama or whatever the case is, Allah subhanaw taala.
Grant us absolute sincerity for his purely for his sake, and make
all of this easy for us. She'll come to love, go hear him a whole
lot in his echo show and this is how he summarizes it. He says, As
long as love for the world and love for fame dominates, sincerity
and action cannot develop.
Worldly motives and lustful desires will always appear in
every place and in every deed of such a person. So all is going to
be like I'm doing it for this reason I'm doing it for that
reason, they're going to say they're going to praise me, I'm
gonna get this out of it or whatever the case is.
Acceptance of deeds in the Divine Court occurs only when these deeds
are devoid of such calamities. On the country, the servants upon
whom Allah's Grace settles, and whose egos are purified from love
of the world. All the actions, whether pertaining to the
religion, or the world are based on sincerity, even the eating
which is not a religious act, as per se, becomes becomes beneficial
for them, right.
The aim of such a person is solely Allah in anything he's just
focused solely on Allah because the word has been expelled from
his heart. Hence, a deed rendered by an abstinent one is not
insignificant, even if in quantity, it appears slight,
although his deed may be quantitatively literal, it is
imbued with a true spirits and is accepted by Allah Most High.
Consequently, it is very significant.
You know, sometimes you have a person and he is just addicted and
obsessed with something. Such a good guy, so helpful,
and so productive, but because of that one, addiction,
whatever it is,
he can't get out of it. The dunya is just like that for us.
If that addiction can be of the dunya can be avoided. It's the way
to Allah,
because that has all the qualities of becoming the greater beloved of
ours and an object of our obsession.
On the other hand, the actions of a man whose heart is greedily set
on the world and who is forgetful of Allah Most High in
significance, even in appearance, they are considerable and great.
This is because the aim of these deeds is not proper, such as such
a heart is contaminated with falsehood insincerity. Therefore,
his deeds are not free of the calamities, of being for show and
the base motives of the ego and the shaytaan. Even if he considers
himself to be free of such elements, that's the worst part we
might think we're fine and we're free of this.
Subhanallah sometimes, you know, it's only it's only somebody else
will be able to help us out with this.
It is of utmost importance to cleanse the heart of all things
besides Allah Most High, the heart should be purified and adorned
with love the attributes, so that the righteous deeds rendered a
full of life and soul, then even if the deed is ostensibly small,
in reality, it will be great. It is essential to understand that
righteous deeds should not I mean, somebody might think from this is
not worth it. Let me focus on my last verse before I do I do my
salah and everything, no, that's going to actually spoil. You can't
even get close, without fulfilling the obligations. Right, it's
within our field that you get closer, and that these things
build up. So it is essential to understand that righteous deeds
should not be abandoned on account of the existence of these
spiritual calamities in somebody. After all, rendering the deeds is
better than abandoning them.
Moreover, righteous deeds if practice constantly will
ultimately produce sincerity, because when we stop praying, we
might pray and say, oh, people are gonna say amen. Namazi know,
right, people are gonna say, I performed Salah slowly, slowly,
the solid will become so normal for us that we will then can
replace that possible distraction, to then saying, we're actually
going to do it for Allah now. There's only two children, they
will give you a suite. If you pray, you will get extra time
playing if you pray, says Complete insincerity. But that means just
get the knifes accommodate accustomed to the action, and then
replace the with sincerity. So it's completely fine to do that.
So don't ever That's why they say that whenever you have a fear of
insincerity, don't ever abandon the deeds that shaytaan making you
abandon deed because the only way you can learn sincerity is in the
deed itself. So if you stopped doing the deed where you're going
to learn sincerity from sincerity is done on the job. You only get
better when you start doing the job. Stop. I'm going to become a
professional before I do the job, how are you going to fit on
practice you can't become a professional. So carry on and you
become a professional. May Allah subhanaw taala make that path easy
for us and facilitate it for us we're afraid that we're gonna and
