Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Muhasibis Risalah Part 43 Wine and Vice Switched Off

Somebody asked,

How do you avoid? How do you avoid showing off, especially if you're

a person who is productive is gifted in some way? Right? If

you're gifted in some way, you're gifted student, a gifted

individual, your value that work, people praise you, you get praises

every now and then.

Then how do you be sincere to align that?

So number one, they say, don't give up the work just because

you're insincere. That's the shaytaan ones. They don't want the

good work, if it's good work, at least,

carry on the work and constantly be conscious that I'm doing this

for Allah. So this is the benefit number one, I'm doing it for

Allah. Why? Because Allah is the One who has given me this. I

didn't have to be here. I didn't choose to be gifted this way.

You know, there's a lot of other people who aren't as smart as me,

who aren't as savvy as myself. I am savvy, I am smart. That's why I

got this but who made me smart and savvy? Oh, it's in your genes,

because your father and mother's smart, who did that to them? How

far you're gonna go to try to attribute it to somebody other

than Allah subhanaw taala. So always think this is this is what

really helps me to think at the end of the day, if I'm doing this

Alhamdulillah Thank you, Allah for giving me this opportunity. It's

all yours Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah.

That's very, very important.

And number two, what's going to see how to think this way, the

easiest way to get yourself to start thinking about this is to

increase your remembrance of Allah if you don't

sit down and take the name of Allah and do vicar of Allah. Then

why would you think about Allah. That's the benefit. When you sit

down and you do any form of vicar. What that does is that you're

putting Allah in your heart. So then when the time comes, Allah is

easier to remember.

It's easier to focus on Allah. That's what I find because the

name of Allah soften the heart. So that shaytaan Khan, overcome it

and make it hard and focused in the wrong direction as easily

because the heart is soft. When you see when you do the care of

Allah the benefit will be that

you will attribute things to Allah rather than yourself. Because when

you remember a lie softens the heart. So the arrogance is

depleted and minimized. The pride is reduced and the connection with

Allah growth that's the benefit of it.

Bismillahi Rahmani Raheem Rahim

had him Anila he Reenen

number of encapsulated beautiful advices he says

no that

only that knowledge and that action is going to be satisfied

with by Allah subhanaw taala is going to achieve satisfaction.

That is based on Yaqeen that is established with certainty.

So anything of our deen as we know has to be established with

certainty.

So its basis has to be certain. Its basis has to be proven. We

can't make things up about how we please Allah subhanaw taala they

have to have a basis. So when we want to devote ourselves to Allah

and offer Allah subhanaw taala some worship either it must come

directly from the Quran. And so now that the Prophet saw some

said, Do this, or Allah says do this, and the Prophet sallallahu

alayhi wa sallam said this is what you get rewarded for if you do

this directly, clearly. For example, Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam said after the victory La ilaha illallah

the most virtuous vicar is La ilaha illallah

and Subhan, Allah Alhamdulillah and these they will fill up your

scale on the day of judgment. And if you do salawat and the Prophet

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

You said one blessing. Salawat means Durood means blessing. You

are asking Allah to send blessings on the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa

sallam. That's essentially what drew Sharif is, when you say

Allahumma Salli, ala Sayyidina Muhammad as we just did, like, Oh

Allah send your blessings on Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam.

And the most amazing thing is that the process and doesn't need any

more from us, Allah has given him enough and as promised him enough

and has showered him with sufficient and will shower him and

as promised him. But I think this is only to benefit us because

number one, it reminds us of who Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam

is

because then we remember him.

Every time you send blessings on the Prophet salallahu alayhi

salam, and especially when you hear the virtues of sending

blessings on the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and

how people's lives have improved, how the blessings have increased

in their homes in their life in their health. When they've started

to increase in the blessings on the Prophet sallallahu sallam,

somebody says that they just started 100 times after every

prayer.

And they said, amazing, things started becoming so much easy and

facilitation. Lots of ease came in and so on. So what it does is that

it connects us with the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam because we

remember him. When you think blessings, why would you send

blessing on somebody that you can't connect yourself with? Why

would you send blessing sit there and 100 times say Allahumma Salli,

ala Muhammad, if you had no affinity with the Prophet

salallahu Alaihe Salam, if you didn't care for him? If you did

not respect him, you revere him?

Why would you say that? So when we do this, we're honoring the

province or we're trying to May Allah accept it from our

unclean mouth sometimes they'll accept it.

So but then Allah promises the promises and said whoever sends

one blessing like that on me, I'll Allah will send them 10 Blessings

SubhanAllah.

So, all of these things are known. Number two, you can also do those

things which are inspired through the Sharia inspired through the

Quran, so they may not be directly mentioned, but they don't but what

you're doing is not going against anything. That the Quran sunnah is

telling you.

In fact,

it goes in accordance, like remember the Name of your Lord and

you find different ways to take the name of Allah that you find

effective that comforts you.

Yeah, Allah,

Allah,

you know, or just in your mind, you're just thinking about Allah.

Allah says, take the name of your Lord. He didn't say how.

You know, it's not restricted. You, your tongue should be.

Your tongue should be constantly moist with the remembrance of

Allah. If that's the case, then your heart. The tongue is supposed

to be just an access to the heart, a pathway to the heart. The heart

is really the place of vicar because it's Allah be Vickery

Allah He taught to my inner Kulu

it's the hearts that gain tranquility through the

remembrance of Allah the remembrance can be made in any

way. So you can have remembrance with your tongue Subhan Allah Al

Hamdulillah, Allahu Akbar recitation of the Quran. This is

all thicker, that's supposed to it's all supposed to go to the

heart. Number two, you can listen to the vicar and that should go to

the heart. So you don't want to read you just want to listen to

the remembrance of Allah, whether that be Quran recitation or

something else.

Number three, you just want to sit in Makkah and look at the Kaaba.

And remember Allah that way. You can memorize the Quran, you can

just think about Allah, then that's direct man. That's very

difficult because thinking, there's a lot of competition in

thinking, especially when we live in a distracted times. So in a

way, you could have a test B and Say Subhan, Allah Subhana Allah

Subhanallah because you've got to remind that this B is a reminder.

It's it's keeps you on track, even if your mind wanders, you're still

doing the tongue. But you see, you can can disconnect the tongue from

the heart. So you could be doing vicar but your mind could be

mashallah wandering around many other places. But if you are then

trying to do the call with your heart, where you're just the

whole, your focus is thicker, you know, saying anything with your

tongue, you're doing a thorough meditation, it's going to be very

difficult because there's too much competition. So you will be doing

it for a moment and then Sunday will get distracted. Another

thought will come in your mind. Something as simple as is anybody

watching me?

Or that noise? So you can hear that noise. You become dizzy when

you think with your heart and you're not distracted or you're

trying not to distract yourself from anything. What happens that

you become more aware

Have everything around you. Otherwise that child making noise

we can't we couldn't hear him. But suddenly when you said

now you can hear them.

So that's the challenge of the curry the heart but if it's done

well then that is the most powerful speaker because it's

where it's supposed to go to. It's the hearts that connects

Allah subhanaw taala didn't look at your bodies. That means the

tongue or whatever it looks at the heart is that they could go into

the heart.

So, anything that is established everything Quran, sunnah, or

inspired by the Quran, sunnah does not go against the Quran, sunnah,

then you can do that.

So first, he says that only that will be accepted only that Allah

will be satisfied. Why if you make up your own way to remember to

think that that is the best way to remember Allah subhanho wa taala.

Or that's the best way to do a worship to Allah.

That if I go

instead of hydroxyurea, if I go to a certain other place and go

around

that particular tree, I know nobody's crazy enough to do that.

But, you know, that's essentially how things come in. That's

extreme, then you don't get any reward for that. In fact, that's

completely wrong, they won't there's no satisfaction or even

accepted, then he says, it's very interesting. He makes it seem like

something that you establish on the ground like a tree. So he says

that, firstly, any deed must be established firmly with certainty,

through the Quran and Sunnah through Allah subhanaw taala, then

its

branches can only prosper through truthfulness. So you have to be

truthful in your approach, which means sincerity in your approach,

then it will go up to Allah subhanaw taala. And you will have

branches from that trunk. So the action starts off with certainty

being established on Quran soon, then after that, you have to have

a class and sincerity to let it prosper and let it get somewhere.

And then he says worth tomorrow Bill water in Alberta, who, then

if you want it to flower off the branches, if you want the flowers

to appear, and it be adorned, then you need scrupulousness You need

to be particular, you need to be careful, you need to be

precautious.

And then, after that he mentioned the number of other things, the

importance of compassion, the feeling of compassion and softness

in the heart.

Then he talks about fear.

The fear needs to also be there otherwise, what's going to happen

is that you could be affected negatively.

You have to put a veil of fear that maybe Allah subhanho wa Taala

will not accept it.

Unless I do it well.

Unless I satisfy Allah and do it for the right reason.

So he says, Don't don't accept for yourself, don't be satisfied with

yourself for doing things in a language fashion, in a lazy

fashion or in an excessive fashion in the wrong fashion.

Because there's no excuse for anybody to exaggerate, to go

overboard or to have shortcoming. You can easily do it. And the

other thing is he says that you need to do it properly. Because

Allah subhanaw taala is independent. He doesn't need

anybody. So we need him so that's why we're trying to make an

effort. May Allah keep us on the straight path. The next piece of

advice he gives is why LM LM inside that hill Murray husana

Nia, the femur in the Allahu Taala

what Sophia called the Mojave woman Aurora de la Hui Hiren. What

herba lehle akl Wahab Baba la Hillel, Allah

he says Know that if a man is going to be fortunate if a person

is going to be considered fortunate in the sight of Allah

subhanaw taala then he gets hosts no near his intention starts to

become correct and beautiful and excellent in everything. Why am I

doing what I'm doing?

Ramadan is coming Why am I going to focus in Ramadan on these

worships? Why am I going to recite Quran so I can say I finished five

grams, three Quran 15 Quran one Quran you know whatever standard

you set for yourself you know some people they the group of people

who just about finished a Quran so for them yes mashallah I finished

the Quran and which is good hamdulillah as long as not for the

sake of showing off. And if your half is of the Quran, then you

want to do it 1015 times that's one time I only did it one time

there's nothing if your half is of the Quran and everybody's half is

you only did it once. You know, for the group that you're in, it's

that's nothing. So then the competition is 510 15 times. So if

you want to be a fortunate person in the sight of Allah subhanaw

taala excellent, Neil X

intention for that which is by Allah subhanaw taala that's very

very important. I want to achieve what's in Allah and is exactly

what the Torah says and tells us about Ramadan man sama Ramadan

Iman and whack the Serbian who fear Allah Houma taka Dominionism

Whoever fasts Ramadan

we all first Ramadan that that's because everybody first Ramadan so

we first Ramadan will feel really weird to be a Muslim and not fast

that's not good enough

if our intention is just Muslims have too far so you know I'm just

going to fast just for that reason otherwise and I can't be that

messed up that I don't even fast

you know I'm not that messed up now we need to have a higher

aspiration

Why are you fasting so the prophets Allah gave us an example

he said the whoever fast in Ramadan with iman so obviously

he's not staying hungry for no reason. He's not staying hungry

for diet purposes.

You know, mashallah we have many non Muslims in the affinity with

Muslims, they got Muslim friends, they also fast in the month of

Ramadan, they also withhold eating, because there's not a

bother aspect in there they might be doing for their own, you know,

your particular personal, spiritual reasons, but there's no

faith in that so you can't be Iman. But then the prophets are

awesome, said 87.

Which means in anticipation,

it didn't say into anticipation for what you can fill that in.

What are you anticipating from Allah? In your fast this month?

What are you going to anticipate? Are you anticipating reward?

Are you interested anticipating blessings, forgiveness, mercy,

assistance, happiness, Janna, satisfaction, good life company of

Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, all of those things,

you can only be limited by your intention. So I think it would

really really be beneficial if we can focus before our first verse

at least before Ramadan begins. So as Ramadan begins, these are all

the reasons I'm fasting, I expect because fasting is for Allah, it's

that one deed which has to be for Allah can't be any two ways about

it. Why? Why would you stay hungry if it was for someone else.

You just eat and just tell them fasting,

right eating secret, just tell them you're fasting.

You know, if you are going to stay hungry, then there must be some

element of it being for Allah subhanaw taala. You know. So Allah

rewards with it directly. So if we have hope in Allah, that he's

going to reward us in all of these different things. And Allah has

abundantly and he's generous as well. And he likes to give them

he's going to give. So let's hope for more. Let's go for more.

That's why he opens up the doors of Paradise.

Doors apart paradise. And then he says, Look, I'm going to give you

an example of what I like to give in Ramadan. All of your first

worships which you're going to have to do in Ramadan. If you're a

practicing Muslim, I'm going to increase it 70 times, like just

one to 70 straightaway.

Just to give us an idea of what kind of thing is installed in

Ramadan what Allah wants to give?

When do you think out of the whole year? When do you think Muslims

are most generous? When do they give the most in Ramadan? Why did

he give you the most in Ramadan, because of the special blessings

because Allah is Most Generous, the Prophet salallahu Salam was

most generous. So we become more generous, it's an effect of your

belief that you're able to give more, right? Either because of the

extreme rewards or you just feel better about it or because you're

fasting and you feel whatever the cause is. So Allah is Most

Generous you can't compete with Allah can't compete with this

messenger. So if people are so generous, and they feed so many

people in Ramadan, and they give so much sadaqa and Zakat and

everything, imagine what Allah is giving.

So, you must have houstonia femur in the law have an excellent

intention of what Allah subhanaw taala has what tofi called the

Mojave. And

if somebody

another thing which is among the fortunate things for believers is

you are enabled to do those things which Allah loves, you naturally

feel inclined.

And you get to do things that are beloved to Allah subhanaw taala

that's tofi CLI Mojave Tofik means you're divinely inspired to do

that which is beloved to Allah. So if you feel like I must pray and

pray is of course, beloved to Allah. You're divinely inspired.

Like I must fast I must assist others. I must be a good person. I

must be

restrain myself. I must avoid being harmful to others, I must

avoid cursing and swearing, I must avoid expressing bad conduct to

somebody. I must avoid cheating, swearing, I feel guilty about

that.

All of those things are beloved to Allah subhanaw taala. If that's

the case, that means that you've been given to faith. Now that's

where it gets scary that if there is something good, we know it's

good, but we don't feel like it is difficult for us to do. That means

the full Tofik isn't there. The full enablement isn't there, and

it can. And if we had enabled can just imagine this, you know, when

you go into the,

the wine aisles in supermarkets, if you're a person who likes to go

through, you know, you go to a shop somewhere, I mean, like

Costco or somewhere like that. And you just go through all the aisles

if you need something, right. I mean, of course, if you're a smart

shopper, you know exactly what you want, you know exactly where to

get, you don't want to look at anything new, then you just go

there and get those things, right. Some husbands are like that they

have a list, they have no idea how to shop, they just go in and pick

up the first tomato sauce that they've been on and the wife tells

them off. That was the wrong one. When you check, there's five

tomato sauces you get in Tesco. Right? You pick the wrong one and

the most expensive one. I didn't need that one. But you pick the

cheapest one.

But others they like to shop. But you know, when you get to the

whiners, there's two three whiners, you just have to ignore

them. Do you feel bad about ignoring them?

Do you feel like let me just check it out? At least? No. Why? Because

the switch is closed. There's no There's no Vista in our mind,

there's no switch Hamdulillah you know how much money saved? How

much harm is prevented, that you don't have to worry about those

aisles. When a person looks at his, he's got a absolutely

beautiful sister.

An auntie a daughter, he looks like there's no shower, there's no

desire. It's closed, that door is closed.

Looks at others, it's a temptation.

But here it's closed.

That's the beauty. If our behavior can be like that, if our internal

emotions can be like that, where when it comes to good deeds, it's

open. We want to do them we enjoy doing them. And when it's

something bad, don't feel like doing that. Or it's easy to avoid

them. I don't know. I mean, there's always going to be

challenges. There's always weaknesses, but the more wrongs

that we can be switched off from the better. That's so fake from

Allah subhanaw taala is developing an immunity is developing an

immunity. Somebody asked

how do you avoid? How do you avoid showing off especially if you're a

person who is productive is gifted in some way? Right? If you're

gifted in some way, you're gifted student, a gifted individual,

you're valued at work. People praise you, you get praises every

now and then.

Then how do you be sincere to Allah and

so number one, they say don't give up the work just because you're

insincere. That's what shaytan wants. They don't want the good

work. It's good work, at least

carry on the work and constantly be conscious that I'm doing this

for Allah. So this is the benefit number one, I'm doing it for

Allah. Why? Because Allah is the One who has given me this. I

didn't have to be here. I didn't choose to be gifted this way.

You know, there's a lot of other people who aren't as smart as me,

who aren't as savvy as myself. I am savvy, I am smart. That's why I

got this but who made me smart and savvy? Oh, it's in your genes

because your father and mother's smart, who did that to them? How

far you're gonna go to try to attribute it to somebody other

than Allah subhanaw taala. So always think this is this is what

really helps me to think at the end of the day, if I'm doing this

Alhamdulillah Thank you Allah for giving me this opportunity. It's

all yours Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah

that's very, very important.

And number two, what's going to see how to think this way, the

easiest way to get yourself to start thinking about this is to

increase your remembrance of Allah if you don't

sit down and take the name of Allah and do vicar of Allah. Then

why would you think about Allah? That's the benefit. When you sit

down and you do any form of vicar. What that does is that you're

putting Allah in your heart. So then when the time comes, Allah is

easier to remember.

It's easier to focus on Allah. That's what I find because the

name of Allah soften that

heart so that shaytaan can overcome it and make it hard and

focused in the wrong direction as easily because the heart is soft.

When you see when you do the care of Allah, the benefit will be that

you will attribute things to Allah rather than yourself. Because when

you remember Allah soften the heart. So the arrogance is

depleted and minimized, the pride is reduced. And the connection

with Allah gross, that's the benefit of it.

Then he says woman, Arad, Allah who be higher on whoever Allah

subhanho wa Taala intends good for

whoever Allah intends that he wants to give him something good

will happen. Holy mackerel, this is really interesting. He says

Allah will give him intelligence. So that means that all the very

intellectuals of the world and the intelligent people of the world

they are

given a gift of God, well, that is a gift of God, but they're

missing. Not all of them are valuing it and using it in the

right way. Some of the criminals are very gifted with a certain

type of intelligence to figure out how to run the scam, how to cheat

somebody, and how to commit a fraud,

that if very intelligent, they could have had to PhD, some of

these people, they're very, very intelligent.

But now that's not the actual here is the one that thinks straight.

The Arkell is the one that thinks prudently for the hereafter, any

intelligence that is just focused on the next 5060 years of this

world of their life or the world, or that is restricted to this

world is not good, good enough. It has to take the next life and the

future into consideration. That's proper intelligence. Otherwise,

the short sightedness

because it's a reality to be in the next world. And everything we

do here is going to impact the next world. So if somebody is just

focusing like if you tell the student right who's just focused

on today of just passing the exam, this is as soon as gone to

university and he's focused just to pass the exam just he's not

caring about the kind of job he may want to look for the position

he wants to be in what he wants to do with his degree is want to pass

that short sightedness isn't it and you've got another student,

his focus is the reason I'm studying this well, is because

this is going to help me in that job that I want in that position

I'm after. That's what you call more intelligent. So that's why

likewise, because the hereafter is going to come, it's inevitable. We

believe in it, it's our belief and so on.

Then we better focus on that. So we've had to do everything in this

world, our intention needs to be for that world as well. That's

proper intelligence. That's the intelligence that

he's speaking about to where he says that whoever Allah subhanaw

taala intends good with, then he gives him an alkyl. We'll have

Baba la Hillel. And number two, what he does is that he makes

knowledge beloved to him. Sacred Knowledge, beneficial knowledge,

knowledge, knowledge, that is supposed to take you where things

are beneficial for you, which is knowledge of the Hereafter, and

how to make this world the greatest benefit for the sake of

the hereafter. That's essentially what it is. That's why

what the old Mr. Right Is this they say that if you've got

you know, there are some certain commitments we must do in this

life, right? In our deen. Those are called Farah is Farah, right

obligations, that there's no negotiation with that we must do

our salads and fasting and so on. Once you've done all of that, then

there's a number of optional acts that we do.

Give me an example of optional act.

So optional, x would be like Knuffle prayers, optional prayers

that are not obligated optional fasting, what else is optional and

praiseworthy

charity. Another one is,

in order to in order to do the obligatory acts like Salah and

fasting and Hajj, and so on. That also includes obligatory

knowledge. Because if you don't have obligatory knowledge you want

to your Salah properly, you won't do your fasting properly.

You won't do purification properly, you won't do your

business properly. So if you have a business, then it's obligatory

for you to learn the basics of business rulings, that much is

obligatory, it's not just an option, but then to learn beyond

the optional things,

right optional knowledge, more Hadith about different virtues

that are not obligatory. So if you compare now knuffel worships and

knuffel knowledge

so you know how to pray and everything. But you don't know the

Syrah enough. You don't know the fear of the Quran, you know,

that's not enough. It's not it's not obligatory along with you

know, enough to get by, in your belief and public worships that's

it

Now, but this is optional. So, if you had time just for one thing

and not the other, what is superior? Do Knuffle prayers or

Knuffle studies

like taking a class once or twice a week, or every day for that

matter of the CRO arky extra Aqeedah or Hadith or extra Syrah

or something or spending time doing nettles. What is superior?

Why LM an HD Ivana been Filati mineral enemy of the luminal HD

have already been Filati minyul a bada know that occupying yourself

with optional knowledge pursuits, is superior to occupying yourself

with knuffel worships.

While other Vertica Emanuel orba, our room in a cell clean in Islam.

This is the position of the four Imams and all the other great

pillars of our religion. Many of them actually did both. So it's

not mutually that I can only do this but they just giving you a

scenario. If I can only do one I can go to that class or I can do

another prayers which will go to the class and learn something. Of

course, correct intention everything. But when he scholars

they talk about like YBNL Josie, he speaks about how difficult it

is because he was trying to get to high levels of a bad extra Eva,

not just few extra novel prayers, lots of Knuffle prayers, spending

that half the night in something and also studying for so many

hours.

So he says he's so tough. I want the best in here and I want the

best in here.

And it's so difficult to do.

Imam Shafi student whose name was

Robbie Imlil Sulaimani Marathi Robbie is one of his most famous

students that you know we have Imam Abu Yusuf and Imam Muhammad

for Imam Abu Hanifa.

So Robbie is one of those Imam Shafi. He says I heard Shafi

saying tolerable LME, for the Lumina, Salah Tim nephila

studying something new of sacred knowledge is superior to praying

Knuffle prayers. This is not just random university courses. This is

proper sacred knowledge we're speaking about.

Imam Al Kashmiri

says in his commentary of Sahil Bihari he says what I don't care

for the al l

don't reject and deny

the virtues of sacred knowledge for in murdy can What about Hanifa

Tara Hema whom Allah Tala the hubba Isla and Alicia Viola below

me leader Manish still don't even know I feel

both Hema Malik and Iman Abu Hanifa Rahim Allah they were of

the position that occupying yourself with knowledge is

superior to occupying yourself enough well if it's one over the

other.

Imam Muhammad had two opinions about this. One is that LM is more

for Lila and the other one is jihad was more for Lila. So he he

had that person because that was the meat of the time. Right? It's

related.

The Abdullah the son of Muhammad even though humble Rahim Allah the

son of Imam Muhammad, no humble, it says abou Surah Razi, a big

scholar came to Baghdad, remember when I didn't know humbler was in

Baroda, and Razi is from Ray, which is near Tehran today. Right?

He came, and he stayed with my father. Or close to my he stayed

with my father.

And he would do lots of they would they would talk about knowledge a

lot. He would be teaching study, right. And he said one day I heard

my father during that period when that Sheikh visited, you know,

like you have a big shoe when they visit especially in Ramadan or

some other time, right. You know, they come stay for one or two

weeks or whatever. I don't know how long he stayed. But Imam

Muhammad son says that I heard my father saying that marsali To

Leona hadal for today have not performed any Salah except the

fourth prayer

is thought to be Madonna, karate, Ibiza Allah and our theory. I

preferred

to have this

teaching and studying with Abu Zahra Razi Overmind. Now I feel

today, there's numerous stories of it. Inshallah, we can try to cover

that some other time. But don't get this wrong. The idea of this

is that if you're sincerely and genuinely circuit seeking good

knowledge, and because of that you can't do worship. For example,

Imam know we had 12 lessons a day, an hour lessons, 12 lessons a day

back to back. Where did he get time to do anything else from I

don't know

Once Ebner Josie says that they used to be from one lesson to the

other. And they used to try to eat the most basic food.

And he said once I decided that I want to buy some fish because I

saw some fish guy selling fish, it looks really good. So I bought

him, took it home and had another class I went there, another class

another for next few days. Because by the time the fish got rotten,

and I wasn't able to cook it, that's how they are what they are,

and that's how they've done I mean, I'm not saying everybody

must do it that way, but Subhanallah it's inspirational

man. It's very inspirational. May Allah give us the Tofik to study

for the right reason. And may Allah subhanaw taala accept us to

do those things which are for those things that he loves. Okay

Yossi Fong wa salam when I was listening, you know Al Hamdulillah

Robben Island.

The point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get

further an inspiration and encouragement, persuasion. The

next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books

to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of

Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware

of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan

courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

whenever you have free time, especially for example, the

Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials

certificate, which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of

that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the

most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.

You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,

you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this more

sustained study as well as local law here and Salam aleikum wa

rahmatullah wa barakato.
