Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa Salatu was Salam ala so
you didn't want to saline wider earlier he was so happy he was
about to cover some of them at the Sleeman Cathedral on Isla Yomi
Dean Amma Barrett,
Imam Muhammad
and others
have related a particular narration in which I mentioned
that Allah subhanahu wa Tada had
sent a revelation center where he an instruction to a particular
Angel,
that they should go and cause a sectarian collapse in a particular
town or city or area, which means that they should have them all
sink in the ground.
So the angel said
kafer Yara BK via Wi Fi him fallen Elia bit? How is that possible?
Why would you do that? When
among them is such and such a person who's a great devotee and a
worshiper.
So the angel said that
Allah subhanaw taala says behave. In fact, with him start the
punishment, have him sink first. For inner who alum yatta yatta
murder or wedge who meaningless Nutella, your
fee, your Yeoman got to, because never once not even one day that
his face change, because of my sake, seeing all of these
disobedience is taking place, seeing everything that's wrong. He
didn't feel bad about it at all.
This is very dangerous, you know, when you are?
You have to it's a very complicated, very challenging
thing. The reason is that when you're living in a society where
there is so much wrong contravention of the faith, the
Zina and everything else, I mean, just to name, you know, one
aspect. And
if you get obsessed by too much, then I don't think you can live
your life, in the sense that you're just seeing it and you just
like Dilbert over stuff. You get depressed, you want to run away
somewhere. But on the other hand,
you can get so comfortable as well that it doesn't even bother you
anymore. In fact, you get so used to it, it becomes part of your
lifestyle, and you enjoy it. That's the difficulty here. Yeah,
Allah. And then, on top of that, we're not even those kinds of
devotees that he's speaking about where an angel would say, Man,
he's a devotee. He's a, a bar that and a person who does a lot of a
button in Arabic, is talking about him. So imagine our state where
we're not at that level anyway.
I don't know how bad we feel about all of these things. And then on
top of that, we we do a lot of these things ourselves. So when
can you imagine what chance would we have done if that's what these
are, but who at least was abstaining from sins himself? He
just wasn't as perturbed by others doing it Subhanallah
Ya Allah.
Abu Omar Abdullah Abdullah Barwon great Maliki scholar he relates in
his thumb heed
that Allah subhanho wa Taala
sent a revelation to one of his prophets that say to so and so for
Lanza hit the ascetic who's just
cut away from the dunya focused on the hereafter, a Mizzou COVID
Dunya
for Katara JLTV Raha tell enough sick you have just
you have just advanced comfort for yourself by your zoo in the dunya
meaning that so you don't have to worry about anybody else you don't
have to worry about yourself and you're comfortable because you
don't have to worry about anybody else. So you've just advanced your
own comfort.
What am I in Kitaoka eladia deceptive behavior is yes by your
turning away from everything cutting away from everything and
focusing on me.
You have earned some nobility you have earned some dignity because
it's known that such and such a person is a bit done as
well I can mother I made it a female er like, but what have you
done? What kind of practice have you put into place for all those
rights that are upon you for me?
It say the first narration in Sahih Muslim in Qatar booty man as
he starts. It's related from Al Amory. He said that.
Can a woman Carla Phil Cowdery Bill basato, but I'll do honey
matter but the journey was the first person to deny destiny, deny
predestination, that Allah has the knowledge of anything
whenever anything happens then Allah knows that's what he said
he's one of the first to deny that imbecile
now if you look at his history the reason why his opinion was even
picked up
you know why people even became he picked it up from some medium some
fire worshiper sees away his name was
so now this was the kind of first Muslim named individual who did
it.
However the reason he got support and he then developed a following
in this opinion at that time was because there was
Amber ignore obeyed
I think it seems a bit warmer, I'm ribbon are obeyed.
He was the He was an avid like ascetic, very well known for his a
bother for his asceticism, no, nothing to do with the dunya to
such a degree that even Abu Jafar almanzora, the great Khalifa
Baghdad, the first, you know, the founder of Baghdad, he
was quite, he was quite impressed by him. In fact, he says that he
was so impressed by his EBA that what other fella
would you call it? Bala allottee that he turned a blind eye a blind
eye to eye. So this person this arbit
somehow became a supporter
of and picked this opinion from Marbella, Germany. When people saw
this they thought it must be valid
because for common people, you see somebody doing worship, it's a big
deal that that is everybody's objective in life. It's
everybody's ambition and goal that I wish I could do that much about
that look how many tahajjud are coming in now if you look at the
fasting, so then anybody who's like that there could be Joe Hill
completely. They could be misguided, but people will pick it
up from them. This is how the world of dunya works. So anyway to
this person
for Clara yarrabilba You che in LUCA Alia
what is responsibility? What is your response? What is my
responsibility towards you? Got a while later fear Well, Ian, are
they the fear I do one Have you ever
become friends with a friend of mine for my sake? Have you ever
taken an enemy of mine as an enemy for my sake?
I mean, this is what as the selfies would describe as a Lola
while Bara they like that term.
They take it a bit to the extreme sometimes but Allah al Bara These
are terms that the selfies generally use a Lola will borrow a
brother this is and then they say things like he's a tall hoot. That
that's another word they use that power heat these words you know, I
don't think anybody else uses them. But anyway, that's
they said that some of them they do you know this taking enemy,
they take it to an extreme sometimes and they think then you
have to even support a Muslim, even though he's wrong. That's
where the extreme goes in that sense. But at the end of the day,
it tells us where our status as well that we're all lacks in some
level of the other.
Then Allah Maha CB he says what a Tesco men who are homophobic Isla
mon liar, hammock. What a statement. That's an aphorism on
its own. Do not complain about the one who is more merciful
to you than the one to the don't complain about the one who's more
merciful for you, to the one who does not have mercy for you.
So complaining about Allah subhanaw taala to the creation.
God is like this, sometimes some people blaspheme this. And this is
not a joke. This is not just children who may do this
sometimes. These adults recently somebody told me that I said, I
made this statement, I was in a lot of pain or something like
that. And I said, God, what is going on? You know, why don't you
do this or whatever the case is. So there's still people like that.
I remember as young children you know, there's some people who you
know, you could do this because you don't know your understanding
of Allah subhanaw taala may not be there. But that means if an adult
is doing this, that means you haven't understood Allah. They
haven't understood Allah you cannot complain about Allah.
You know, when the awesomeness of Allah subhanho wa Taala the
greatness the wisdom of Allah comes into our mind which should
be that is the case
and the 99 names of Allah.
What are the wonderful commentaries about the 99 names of
Allah? Is that and the Hadith mentioned in in Surah, Timothy and
this hadith about inbody, as well about the 99 names of Allah
Madhavi Allah that part is in Buhari and Hatfield law, right,
whoever memorizes them, whoever preserves them, protects them,
preserves them. So one of the commentaries here is that this is
the 99 names are the windows to Allah subhanaw taala they the
highest level you can get to in an understanding of Allah
ohana, what Allah is through the 99 names. If you've understood
each of the 99 names of Allah, you will understand who Allah is in
his comprehensive nature at the same time he is the Rahman and
Rahim he is the word dude, he is the Haleem. He is the HA food he
is the afar, he is the Rahim. And then at the other on the other
hand is also the moon takim. He is also the car. And he's everything
else that the 99 names tell you. So this is the highest level that
you can understand of Allah subhanaw taala through His names.
Because these are not arbitrary names given by a parent or
something expecting that my son will be like so and so if I give
him this name, or it'll just be an exotic name. These are meaningful
names that Allah has the attribute. So if the name says
Rahman and Rahim, it means ALLAH has allotments if he's Helene,
that he has the hill
and so on. If he's the cardinal Tadiran Moqtada then he has the
Qudra.
So do not ever make check that sorry, do not ever complain of the
one who is more merciful to you and for you to the one who is not
have no mercy for you. And that is why Allah reminds us of this
inserter, fattier hamdu, lillahi, Rabbil Alameen or Rahmani Raheem,
over and over and over, we tend to repeat that what's there in
billeter, could mean early hostility, and if you seek
assistance from Allah subhanaw taala, you will become of his
special ones.
Because
Allah subhanaw taala the difference between Allah and
others, is that when you ask others, eventually they will run a
mile from you the first time they will help you the second time,
they may help you again, the third time they'll start thinking man,
I'm becoming he's becoming dependent, right? We do this even
with the cost money, or we have you know, no all funding and
sometimes somebody comes
and then they asked for money and then somebody comes to ask for
money, we give it to them. And then after that we think they
become independent. If it's a man we're much more strict because
they should be working. Right? It's a woman that we can
understand she's got children or whatever, but that's even with the
government a bit tight, something like that.
Now it's only Allah subhanaw taala who loves to be asked you Hebrew
and yourself. He just loves to be asked ask all day long to ALLAH
ask all day long to Allah subhanho wa Taala and he will continue to
give that's the wonderful thing about Allah subhanaw taala in fact
the more you ask the more your name becomes known day by the
Angels And subhanAllah your your your job gets done faster the more
applications you put in, it's not like okay, this guy's got so many
applications forget him you know let's give to somebody else
because Allah has no shortage. And you know what's the what was the
most wonderful thing is that it's those people in the world who are
close to Allah Who will be like this when you ask them
meaning those people who will continue to help are those people
who have the characteristic of Allah Tala who be o'clock Allah
the Halacha will be o'clock Allah don't judge people and give them
that's that's what it is.
So ask seek assistance. And Allah makes us say this only you we seek
assistance from so many times. In fact, if only we can focus on the
meaning of that word, only you we seek assistance from that will
become a reality in our life.
Believe me, every dollar you make for the world you should make a
dua for the accurate weather.
For example, I've probably mentioned this before, if you're
wanting to buy a house, then why do you make a dua for a house in
this world ask for a house engender torpedoes? If you're
asking for shifa?
Then ask for shifa from spiritual diseases for the hereafter as
well. If you've got a problem with your car and you want that to be
corrected, then ask Allah Oh Allah correct my problems in the
hereafter as well. Don't ever make a dua just for this world. Make a
dua always with it Peridot with something for the hereafter.
Because if we're going to make a dua for this world, hamdulillah
but why not pair it with the Hereafter? This dog gets accepted
then it's a good sign that insha Allah the accurate will get
accepted as well.
But seek assistance only with Allah subhanaw taala that could
mean a holy ha Sati he you will become from his very special ones,
called our Oba Teubner summit Radi Allahu Anhu. The Sahabi Oba Ignace
ometer. The Allahu Anhu says, of the hidden Lea semi Murphy ad
nurse for inner who Alina
Express, despondence, hopelessness, this despondency,
from that which people possess,
meaning, don't express any dependence on what other people
have that he will give me he will give me he will give me Allah will
use people to give you things there's no doubt about that.
Nothing happens by magic generally, Allah always uses
somebody or the other. But we should be asking Allah to make
that happen.
Allah you give it to me. And don't focus direct
Keep on the apparent source openly desist from that and focus on
Allah because for inner who Alina this is what you call the Xena and
self enrichment in dependency, which is
Lisa Lena and Kathy Lord in the marina Rena knifes that true
richness is not having an abundant possession, but rather true.
Independence is being independent of others and only dependent on
Allah subhanaw taala
were IACA Wautoma what tolerable Hagerty for in the hotel Fokker
be very aware Be very careful and wary of
greed and avarice seeking your needs from others, because that is
fucker
fucker in Arabic the word faqeer comes from it, right fucker means
need, it doesn't mean being poor. A lot of people know it from all
the way Jeremy says fuck it means poor and the reason it means poor
is poor person is in need. The real meaning is not Arabic is if
Takara for Cara, it means to be a need to want something, you don't
have it so you want something.
So he's saying that that is being in need there is poverty
because a poor person is in need.
So stop asking from others. Why either so later for Sally salata
mo a day in and when you make prayer, then pray, make the prayer
of the one who is saying his farewell.
Make the prayer of the one who is saying farewell. Who shame said to
his student.
He said that if it was said to me that the angel of death is on the
door
he wouldn't have any more deeds to do. Like he'd be he's in such a
perfect routine. He's already doing that this sounds so far
fetched only they sound so difficult to attain that if he
knows Angela's death is coming. I mean, we'd be like scampering
around. But he's no no problem. You know, I'm already on track
with everything. I've got all the forms filled in. I've got
everything packed, everything sorted. All loose ends tight.
Make a solid that is solid Demo Day in.
Yeah, Allah. Allah, Allah give us that two feet.
So when when we're in solid,
we need to really focus on who we're praying solid for. If we
can't do it in solid, we can't do it anywhere else. Because every
with everything else, we're not really focused only because we're
focused on something else during that time. But when we're in
solid, we're supposed to be facing the Qibla which is the Kaaba,
hence, it's a reminder that you're facing the house of Allah. You're
facing Allah essentially. Right? We can't see Allah so we need in
this world, we need some direction. That's why Allah says
with Cody smartypig. Remember the name of your Lord? Because how
you're going to remember Allah, what are you going to remember?
What are you going to think about? So focus on the Name of Allah,
that's how powerful the name of Allah is. That's why we do that.
So in solid, we're told to focus in that direction.
Like we didn't go for Hajj. We're supposed to go around the Kaaba,
otherwise, what are you going to go around? You know, go and do
something for Allah, what should I do for Allah, it has to be
something. So Allah has provided the intimacy with with this house
that at least you've got something to volume because humans need
perceptible to focus on.
We don't want it replacing Allah, like idol worship. That's an
extreme. But at the end of the day, humans have something that
they need to focus on a direction of reference.
So in solid if you can't focus on Allah than what? So for example,
sometimes if I'm leading solids, and you got a nice mic system, and
you know, you're reading well, right, you can muster the Kobe's
It was nice reading there. Then you obviously the shaytaan takes
you to this idea that look how people will be listening. Right.
So the struggle there is don't focus on the back, focus on the
front. Focus on who you're praying towards. And your reading will
become even better.
Focus on behind, then, you know, it's not going to be acceptable.
People are ungrateful anyway.
Right. But with Allah subhanaw taala law you'll leave Israel
Marcin in Israel, I mean, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't waste the
deeds of anybody. He doesn't overlook them. He is not
ungrateful. He is Mina Shaqiri is that you know, he is a shortcut.
He doesn't have to be but the meaning of sugar for Allah
subhanaw taala
is that he is grateful for anything that you do for him. May
Allah subhanaw taala give us a trophy long into cinnamon because
he
