Bismillah your man you're walking
and hunger to learn more Benard aminos salatu salam ala Sayyidina
Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa Baraka was seldom at the
Sleeman Cathedral on Isla redeem a mother called Allahu Akbar go Tada
from Quran in the GED well for calling Hamid called Manila minion
and his birth the fee him also the minion foresee him yet rewarding
him it was a key him when you added the Mohammed Kitab or Hekla
were in can come with a few Valeri movie, but you respected all of my
brothers and sisters Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. I'm
really grateful and really honored to be here. And the reason for
that is many fold. Firstly, the topic is a very essential, very
fundamental, very elementary topic. And I'm sure you've already
been high, been enlightened about it a great deal. The second point
is that purification of the heart, it's very closely related to this
concept of giving and sadaqa. The reason is that giving an sadaqa is
a selfless act. It's actually something that people do not do.
Most people do not do very easily. There's very few people who can
actually give something away just like that. And that's why it's
such a selfless act, and it's something that has to be learnt.
You know, many of us when people are asking, and we're just like, I
really want to give, but I can't give, because we're making 1000
excuses in our minds, right? They they can't because she can't does
not want us to give sadaqa sadaqa to talk people heard about Rob
so that it comes the anger of Allah. So if we've done something
which we should not have done, if there's something bad going on in
our life, some calamity some, some problem sadaqa is supposed to be
very effective, because if we are to assume that Allah subhanaw
taala is displeased with us for some reason, we give sadaqa and
that means Allah subhanho wa taala.
Allah subhanaw taala is anger will be calmed by it, what that will
mean that the SU a also repels an evil death and evil ceiling state.
So that essentially, when we're about to die, we won't be thinking
of something else that we're normally going on about all day
long. The problem with our death, which really relates to the
purification of the hearts, is that normally, when a person is
about to die, the thing that would normally automatically, naturally,
spontaneously come out on their tongue will normally appear up
death as well. For example, when I was studying in Syria, there was
the main bazaar called the SU Commedia, right, which is right by
the owner of the mosque, the omegas masjid, and we I used to
have to go through the everyday to go and study, we should have the
result there. And there was this one particular, I don't know what
it used to sell, because I never went there. But I think he was
selling some T shirts or something, some garments or
something. And he would say this weird thing. And any time of the
day you went that full day the person is making vicar of this
word or this phrase or whatever, it is something really,
he became unique about that. And that was his actually selling
point, you will attract people by that. My whole thing was that if
that is what he is saying for eight to 12 hours a day, literally
like non stop, because anytime you want he'd be doing it. What will
the case be at death?
Right? Because if that's what you're so used to saying policy,
it says in his sleep, gets up in the morning without saying in the
middle of the night, his wife probably has a slap in one or
something. Right? It's just really sad what we normally say. And that
really matters. Another thing is that let's just say somebody kind
of
irritates you.
Somebody irritates you. Somebody bothers you. Right? What do we
normally say? What normally comes to our mind? What actually what
actually comes to on our tongue, that's what we really have to be
concerned about. You can justify in whatever you want, oh, what he
done was very bad. So it's fine for me to swear. But is that what
we want on our deathbed because our death could come in any form
of various
different ways it could, it could come to us. That's why it's very
important. This subject is very important. And thirdly, the great
thing about this program is that it's a bunch of sisters that are
put this together, which really should put the men to shame one
thing is that we're very happy about it because mashallah sisters
are doing something while maintaining the etiquette that the
Islamic adab and but on the other hand, as men we should be we do we
have enough men out there trying to do this. Yes, the men we're
helping they're running the show and you know me Allah, thank you.
What are these other law and others who are in on the welfare
trust, but it's actually the sisters who are behind this and
this is not just
One group is another group. There's a few groups like this
that are essentially run by sisters. And we almost have
hundreds I'll give them Tofik May Allah subhanaw taala reward them
abundantly. So there's a number of reasons why this is such a good
program in sha Allah and may Allah subhanaw taala accept it have its
benefits are very fast, far reaching benefits and
consequences. Inshallah,
going back to the verse and you may have heard this over and over
again, but it's an important verse, it tells you essentially of
the function of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam in this world.
It's a very comprehensive term. We've got many verses in the
Quran, but this particular verse, which is in turn around verse
number 164, it tells us what the what the purpose of the lesson
came from Allah subhanho wa Taala says that look and learn the love
Island meaning Allah subhanho wa Taala has favored the believers.
This is a favor upon us. Allah subhanho wa Taala has favored the
believers because he has sent among them is Bertha fee masuleh
mean and physeal is sent among them a Messenger from among them
from humankind, not an angel, not a gem, not a different type and
species of a creation of Allah subhanaw taala but a human being.
Now, these are the functions
you have to OBEY HIM it he recites the verse, he recites Allah's
verses, to them, the Quran is conveyed through Allah subhanaw
taala is messenger to us, number one, number two, you are liberal
human Kitab we use a key we use a key him is number to use a key
means he purifies them.
Purification is very important. And that's what we're going to be
speaking about. And then it says when you're only when one kingdom
or hikma and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada sort of the prophets, the
messenger, he teaches them that Kitab and wisdom were encountered
when Pablo Luffy banal iMobile whereas before that prior to that
they were in a clear and manifest misguidance so if ALLAH SubhanA wa
collas messenger could have been successful with people who are in
absolute and total misguidance then you can imagine that
inshallah we're not that bad, he can definitely be successful for
us, and he can gain success with us as long as we open up our
hearts. Now, the thing about user key him is that this is a
responsibility to gain purification of the heart,
cleanliness of the heart software will color the skin to the purity
of the heart, so that it is available to take the newer of
Allah subhanaw taala into it, that there are no there is no darkness
in it, which is preventing the node of Allah subhanaw taala to
enter into our hearts. There was a brother that I knew I knew two
brothers, one of them had started doing a lot of thicker in the last
six months or so, the other brother once met with this brother
because he lived in another area. He when they hugged and embraced
that second brother said to me later,
because I asked him, How did you get into doing a lot of different
things? You know, what was your turning point because I knew him
before that. He said, essentially, I met this one brother. And when I
when I hugged him, I just felt some RGB light. I just felt this
RGB warmth, this strange warmth. This something just was different
about this. And I spoke to him and a person revealed to me that he'd
been making a lot of dhikr of Allah subhanaw taala. The Thinker
has its effects. And the reason of that is reason for that is very
clear. Allah Subhana Allah subhanaw taala is Prophet
salallahu Salam says that the example of a person that remembers
Allah, Allah the Quran, the holy knows God, the one who remembers
Allah and the one who does not, is as simple as the example of a live
and a dead person. I mean, that is that is a very explicit example
that and in contrast, a juxtaposition where essentially
alive biologically, physically, physiologically, but when it comes
to spiritually, that's when we are dead, or we are dead at different
levels, or we're suddenly diseased if we're if our hearts are pure,
and the most diseased of hearts are of the minority. And as Allah
subhanaw taala makes it very clear in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Quran, that woman and Nassima young men Billa he will be
young in earth, any woman whom people mean, there are people.
Among people, there are those who say I'm an biller that we believe
in Allah.
They believe in Allah they say that and we believe in the last
day if you say you believe in Allah and the Last Day means you
essentially believe in everything in between, because those are the
two that you start with your belief of Allah and your end
belief is that the there is a last day there is a resurrection. So
they believe in everything in between one man who would be more
money, but they are not believers. They are certainly not believers
in any way, shape or form. Then it says you have their own Allah,
they are deceiving Allah meaning from their perspective. They think
they're deceiving Allah because they're deceiving the believers.
They think that deceiving their Creator, Allah subhanaw taala want
their own agenda and fusarium, whereas the only people they are
deceiving are themselves, they are deceiving none other than
themselves. And why am I showing they don't even know about it?
Because they're so misguided that they think it's compound
ignorance. They don't even know that they don't know what the
reality is. They don't want to give up their previous religion.
But in order to benefit from the mainstream, like people today, you
follow the superpower because then the mainstream rather be with them
and think you're there even though you hate their guts on inside, you
just kind of act like you're in and let's hypocrisy. And this is
the highest level of hypocrisy that you can actually express a
certain belief that you do not hold inside. That's one of the
worst things you can do minor aspects of hypocrisy which will
relate to the purification of the heart, as well as an Allahu alayhi
wa sallam said, is either wider, Oliver, what do you that took me
in a harder. And if a person makes a promise, he breaks it. If a
person is trusted and trusted with something, they betray that trust,
what either what are the sorry, what you want. And when they
speak, they lie.
These are minor forms of hypocrisy. But higher than that is
that you express a belief in something which you don't really
have inside. Because then you have to live your life according to
that. See, if you were to just lie on occasion here or there, you
could get away with it. But if you have to live a lie, where you have
to live as for example, a husband or a wife, but you don't want to
be like that. How difficult is that? If you have to be teaching
in a place that you don't agree with that ethos, the ethics? how
demoralizing would be that would that be if you have to work in an
environment that you totally disagree with? But yet you have to
carry on for whatever reason? Can you imagine what kind of
difficulty that is? But what about if you're happy to do that?
If you're happy not because you're forced, but you want to because
you can it's for some ulterior motives, that is a serious level
of sickness of the hub's May Allah subhanaw taala protect us from
this disease because Allah subhanaw taala then says
that they are only deceiving themselves they don't even know
they don't even realize they have absolutely no notion of that fact.
The Kuru be him model. This is this is what's important for us
here. Feel Colombia him model in their hearts is a disease, the
word of Allah subhanaw taala. us here, this disease, they have a
disease in their hearts. It's not a cardiological disease. It's not
a cardiac disease, that it's suddenly going to make the heart
stop working. It's not a physiological it's not a sign.
It's not as I mean, it's definitely some level of
psychological disease, but it's a spiritual disease. They have
absolutely no idea and Allah subhanaw taala call it a disease
if in the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala is putting them on Alpha
team with a disease people remote, preserve the hula humara Allah and
Allah subhanaw taala will only increase that disease in them. Now
Allah subhanaw taala just before you miss understand this, that it
is Allah who made them that way. You have to realize that ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada has, you know, Hanifa says in his frequent Akbar,
Allah subhanho wa Taala does not create people as believers or
disbelievers. What else can Holika home a SHA son, he creates some as
neutral individuals, then it is the prerogative of the individual
to believe or disbelieve. And that means I must clarify that people
normally go on saying that every baby is born on Iman. They're not.
They're born on the fitrah. And there's a difference between
filter and acquired faith. There's a difference between email sorry,
there's a difference between filter on which the Hadith
mentions that every offspring is born on the filter, then the
father make them, mix them a Jewish or Christian or major and
today we cannot mix them a modernist or atheist or, you know,
whatever else we have out there, right from your Emery County, he
from, you know, whatever, whatever you want to you definitely, you
know that there's lots of possibilities that the main thing
is about the promise of the Lord some said is that every offspring
is born on the natural disposition. They've just come
from where they've recognized Allah because Allah subhanaw taala
says in the Quran, that when each one of us was not in this world,
yet, we were still in the loins of our forefathers, Annamalai his
Salam, Allah subhanho wa Taala extracted all of his progeny, that
means every one of us our souls were extracted before the creation
of the long time. And Allah subhanaw taala manifested himself
in front of us, and he said, a list of your pre code on a your
Lord and every single one because we're still in the pure,
unadulterated realm. We said, but of course you are they we couldn't
deny that. Does anybody remember that though?
Anybody here because there are people who say they remember these
kind of things. Do you ever remember being in your stomach,
mother's stomach? Anybody remember that? Our cozy was how safe it
was?
All right. I mean, somehow there have been people who said that,
but what I'm trying to say is that if you can't even remember
something which today you believe in, then there should be no reason
to deny the aspect of having had this covenant when Allah subhanaw
taala, where we said, you are definitely have a loan. So you've
just come from this pure realm into this world. So they were
pure, pure beings, they are pure beings, you're not believers in
US, you have what we would call natural faith, Eman, Fitri,
natural faith, but it's not a quiet faith acquired faith is when
you start becoming, you start reasoning, you start seeing good
and bad and you make a decision that this is what I want to take.
That's, you know, when we become valid, when we become adolescent,
1314 15 years of age, we need to reaffirm our faith, that's when we
get acquired faith, because now we become responsible. Now we will be
taken to task for what we do wrong, and will be rewarded for
what we do, right? In a sense, if we were to die before that, then
yes, people do go to Paradise, because they're on this natural,
pure realm, they considered unadulterated until they mature in
a sense. So just to just to explain that that's a very
important point to make.
These people have a disease in the heart. Now we want to protect
ourselves from that disease. Now, clearly, being here being in this
gathering here, we should be free of that disease. Because we're not
here by force. We're not here to show anybody what we're here for
we're here for ourselves. However, what needs to be explained here is
that the importance of the purification of the heart and to
remove it from even a minor disease is a responsibility for
every single believer, it doesn't matter what group you follow, or
professed to follow, you know, because we have a lot of, you
know, unfortunately, sectarian conflicts, it doesn't matter. This
is a responsibility. And the reason I mentioned this is because
there are certain individuals who think that this thing has to be
done as part of a particular sectarian group. Otherwise you are
not, you know, it's on your responsibility for the Sufis and
that's a misunderstanding. The only difference between decent
Sufis and good Sufis, valid Sufis, genuine Sufis and the rest of us
maybe right if we don't profess to be Sufis is that they just overtly
do it. It's like a honey scholar who loves his Hadith studies and
is constantly looking at it. So he's got a dominance of Hadid
study, another person was always on about Fick and jurisprudence,
another person was always speaking about the fear. So they are
overtly and explicitly just showing an interest in that. And
that's what you call the people. Sufis generally are people who are
very overt about it. They've just got a dominance of that. But
everybody, regardless of what group you come from, there needs
to be a level of purification of the heart. Because at the end of
the day, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions in a beautiful dua, that
a beautiful statement, Ibrahim Ali salaam
makes this beautiful statement. He says wala Dozie yoga yoga. Oh
Allah do not disgrace me. DOS, DOS, ne yo, yo Barthold, the day
when everybody will be resurrected. Do not disgrace me on
that day. That's our dua that Allah Allah do not disgrace us on
that day.
Yo, Ma, Ian fountain man, what are the noon, a day when no charge
children will come to benefit us, and neither any wealth will come
to benefit us. It is a matter of what we have what we have at our
disposal in this world. None of that will be of benefits. As great
logic in that, imagine if children were able to benefit their
parents, I mean, it'd be a long chain all the way up to Annamalai
Salaam. But in the human in the Hereafter, we're individuals, and
the only person who will actually be with eventually, as a lifelong
eternal partner is husband and wife, your spouse. So make sure
you do good with your spouse in this world. So you're happy in
paradise together. If you're unhappy in this world together,
then I feel sorry for those people in paradise. Because one person
might not get there. Because they don't want to be without I don't
want to be that person. It's your wife. It's your husband, no man,
so yourselves out in this world. So yourselves have in this world.
If you're living under in separate rooms, but still married, you need
to sort yourself out. It's a disease of the heart. It's
arrogance. It's not coming down to the other person's level. It's not
giving up something. It's not about, you know, one person is not
compromising, right? This is all the diseases of the heart. You can
speak about the disease of that all we're talking about on a very
social clocky perspective. That's what I want to speak about. Going
back to the verse in the Quran. Ibrahim Ali Salam says the day
when no wealth and no children no progeny will be of benefit. And
then he says in Allah will unbeknown Salim, except the one
who comes with a Salim heart.
except the one who comes with a psyllium heart, a sound heart that
has been worked on, like focused work. How many of us has focused
on our hearts
We've focused you get a couple here or there even a minute into
this
right? You know, you've got cosmetics rows and rows and down
male cosmetics. In fact forget cosmetics you've got a male makeup
because you know now is the world of you know, showing hypocrisy
outside of showing yourself in a certain way.
Right? So you've got mail, You've Got Mail makeup nowadays, you
know, okay, the women have it, but you've got the male doing this
kind of stuff. Right? So
how many of us have actually focused on our heart? Many of us
if we start getting heart pains in sha Allah, may Allah protect us
will run to the doctor, cardiologist, right? You've got
eye problems, ruptured optician, you got a problems, you know, run
to the in the end, whatever it's called, right? The ears, nose and
throat doctor end, right? So you got different things? What
happens? Have we even focused and thought about our hearts?
Have we even thought about that. And the main thing is what he
mumbles early on on the site, which is quite scary, is that if
you reach the age of 40, and you haven't your good hasn't dominated
your evil, then
it's a sad case. Because the more mature we are, the older we get,
it just becomes more solidified. And I'm not the purest one here.
This is purely a self reflection. This is an introspection that we
are all doing here. Because at the end of the day, I can say what I
want to hear. But I have to stand up for myself in the Hereafter.
And I think this is every one of our responsibilities. We want to
get the convinced that in one of our one of my friends who's a
chef, he says that you get lots of people to go to he's a medical
doctor as well. We're very interesting. He's there. He's a
pathologist, writer, he's a medical doctor pathologist, and
he's a shake is in Ireland is as I get probably more people coming to
me, as you know, in my surgery for pathology related issues and
illnesses than I get for people who's coming to me too. So
hothouse, my dean out, as we said, I mean, really, if we just
introspect how many of us have thought, what is the state of my
heart? What will I give it? If it's on a meter of 100? In terms
of the black dots that are there? How many 50 Bad black dots 20,
black dots 7080 90, covered? recovered? May Allah forgive us?
May Allah purify our hearts because seriously, it's just
something I'm just giving some food for thought to, to myself and
everybody else, because every bad deed that we do, even if we think
when is the last time, we just need to do it once we just need to
get it done one more pleasure,
then I'll stop. The problem is that this actually works like
roots on a tree. The longer you want to take a tree up, take it
out as soon as possible, you leave it its truths will be its roots
will become more entrenched, and firm in the ground and become more
established, and uprooting a tree that is 40 years old is much more
difficult than uprooting a two week, two years, or three, year
three, it is really, this is what the other one had mentioned, you
know, it's difficult, the more you become used to something, it
becomes second nature, we have to unlearn it, and we have to learn
the good things. It's mentioned, for example, I just read recently,
one of the self, he says that I used to have a problem of
excessive anger flying off the handle, right, you know, I'm sure
many of us are like that, which is called sensory overload, which
means getting angry very fast, you know, you got four types of people
in anger, said he will hold up sorry, Yuzawa, but we will have
other, but you will hold on multiuser our selling party was
around and most people have an absolute reservoir, you can we can
just say say which ones we are and focus accordingly. Essentially,
one is a person who gets angry very quickly at the smallest
thing, but it comes down very quickly. Another one is takes a
very long time to get angry. It takes a very long time to choose
that person off. Right? And then they are they get they when they
do get angry. They stay on for a very long time. Two days, but Are
you relaxed? Yeah, man is that happened two days ago. No, you
know, still in four years. So let's say that that's a very slow
to get angry but very slow to relieve themselves. Then you've
got the other two which is gets angry very fast and gets angry,
get calms down very slowly. And then you have the other one that
gets angry very slowly and calms down very fast, which is the best.
The last one is the best to not get angry very fast, and to calm
down very far as to calm down very fast when you do and which is the
worst.
The worst is the third one which is gets angry very fast and comes
down very slowly. So he's constantly angry because
everything little bit here there is normally irritating them and we
can decide which one we're in and how much effort we need. So what
this person of the Salafi said that what towards me
Hill. Hill means forbearance, it means something bad happens. You
can calmly take it you you deal with it in a calculated way, not
in an ignorant way. That's cowardice, where you can be
abused. Your religion is abuse, your mother's abuse, your wife's
abuse, and you just sitting back. I don't care. I've got other
things to do. I'm somewhere else. Right? That is obviously
cowardice. That's the whole the whole that's carelessness to a to
an extreme degree. What we're speaking about is somebody who
gets angry, sorry, somebody who was Calculatedly measured in their
response, they don't fly off the handle, they deal with it. That is
something how do you how do you get that many of us think that
it's a natural trait, I get angry very fast. That's how I'm gonna be
for the rest of my life. My dad's like that. My mom's like that. You
know, some people think that that's a family I come from and
that's how I am. Don't try it. I've learned this. Don't ever stop
me. That's how I am I can't help it. The person who says that,
seriously. They've got no Hilma they've got no Himba, they've got
no aspiration, you are under estimating Allah subhanaw taala.
Your opinion of Allah subhanho wa Taala is very low. And that's the
problem. Your opinion of Allah subhanaw taala should behave He
created me like this, he can change me around what this person
from the setup said. He said that I learned him and forbearance by
living with a careless person, a careless person with a foul mouth.
What is a careless person? Imagine you're sharing the room with your
brother or sister, or your roommate or flatmate or whatever.
And they are so careless, they leave the gas on. Right, and you
have to run to put it off, they leave the milk outside. So it goes
back the next day, they leave the
then either
would you call it the clothes all over the place? Right, and you
just go in there and they leave rotten food around Subhanallah,
what's going to happen to you, but if you live with such a person,
purely for the exercise, and you think I'm going to take it easy,
right, because some people are just so careless that they don't
want to change, they find it very difficult to change that is very
useless in that regard. But we could take that, as he said that
that's where I learned my Hillman forbearance wrong. And over over
on top of that, the person had a foul mouth.
So not only do you have to see his careless attitude, but you have to
hear it as well. Imagine what kind of patients that takes. So
forbearance is a level of Bob just patients which are calculated were
resigned. He says that and I continued to do that and exercise
restraint. Until forbearance had become my character, it become my
main nature, it become innate to me. So it can be learned and what
in Allah and Allah he says, After quoting your story, he says that
this is the same case with with with miserliness. It's the same
case with many of these heart diseases that we have, they have
to be they have to be learned to become second nature, meaning the
opposites have to be learned to become second nature. So same
thing when you really talk about
giving, not being able to spend five pounds, right, and you feel
very tight. You one day, just in a moment of generosity, just Give 50
Give 10 times that amount. And now your heart will open up for 10 you
will be able to give 10 very easily.
And the other thing is don't remember what you give, Allah will
keep that record. If you remember, Shavon will continue to make you
accumulate that and you will think, Oh, I haven't given so much
in my life. Just give and forget, Allah will let Allah remember it,
it will be much better to have that surprise and delay of
judgment than to continue calculating it for ourselves. To
start giving, if it's five, believe we just give 51 day if you
have a problem with 50 gift 201 day,
take 10 times that amount and just give it one day, just as a cure.
You know you if you had a problem you'd pay for it, you know, you
paid somebody pay for the medicine, you'd pay for some
specialist you'd pay for a course just consider this a course in
Islamic and that's that will inshallah benefit us.
Now, another problem of the heart is when we start seeing things in
distorted ways, and more and more as we get into this world and
materialism, capitalism, that dunya essentially has an effect on
us. We start becoming distorted in our minds and distorted in our
perspective.
And that is where the greatest dangerous you know, we spoke about
the we we spoke about the the monarchy team and how they have
this great disease
that kind of a disease for
will come into us if we become so effected by ways other than that
which are Islamic, until we begin to speak in that same way. That's
where the dangerous what I mean by that is there's a very telling
Hadith it's related by ignobly dunya in his Kitab Emeryville
Morrow you will not hear anyone called it is a week NARRATION The
Bay hockey related as well a number of others related it's a
week narration but the wisdom in the is very important is very
significant. And I think it's very apt in discuss in detail what we
experienced today in our world. And what what's related in the
from Mama Hulda hero, the Allah one that Sula salovaara He was
salam said he was once the he said key for anthem, either. Tavon is
welcome. Well, first of all Shabaab will come we'll talk to ng
ha the comb will call you what in his article occur in your suit
Allah, the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, how will it be? So
he's ruminating, he's thinking, he's thinking aloud. And he's
saying, how will it be when your women will begin to become
tyrannical? You expect men to be tyrannical? You know, you've got
lots of them, right that are very tyrannical. But what how's it
going to be when your women start becoming tyrannical? When the
husband comes under the thumb of the woman in a totally in a
tyrannical way, right.
And your youth will become transgressors?
That will be known for your youth to be transgressed as just having
a good time.
And you leave your jihad,
you leave, you're striving and you're striving the part of Allah
subhanaw taala.
They said, they were shocked. Look at the surprise what another
nickel occur, you will jasola It's not going to happen yet.
They couldn't fathom it. So they're asking is that going to
happen? Called a nun? Of course, yes, it will happen. And then to
their utter dismay, and surprise, he said, What I shouldn't do men
who say are good, in fact, something even worse than that
will occur. And what is that? Well, no, I should do Oh, I
shouldn't I mean, we are still alive. What can be worse than
that? Already? They were shocked. What can be worse than that? Yeah,
rasool Allah. He says, Carla cave and don't either move in MA
roofie. What then what I'm telling ya, Monica, how many P would you
give up
in joining the good and prohibiting the evil.
Because you'll think maybe that I'm not good enough. And believe
me, I don't think I'm good enough to even be speaking to you today.
But somebody has to do it. We all have to do it at some level of
other, whether that's to our family, but in a wisdom in a wise
way, not in a military way. Some of us become mature, very pious,
all of a sudden, they've had a bad life before and then they become
militants in the amount of a million mukha and then they just
destroy everything. We don't want that kind of militant umber Marvin
Hindalco look or an amount of needs to be done with wisdom,
sometimes it does require force it does require compulsion, it does
require some level of, of anger and humor, but it needs to be
taken step by step. So he says that how will it be when you
stopped doing this Phyllis hollows? Like, that's impossible.
How can that happen? They said,
What kind of hurt to care for Allah? Is that going to happen as
well? You also will Allah and he says now and then he said, well
let the nurse see Beardy what I should do me Musa code he had to
take an oath now, because he could only tell that they will think
we're unable to believe it. So now he took an oath, he said by the
woman whose hand is my life. Worse than that is
worse than I used to occur. Can you imagine how bad the promise of
the rustle would be feeding himself? Just prophesizing this
probably wishing that he'd be there to help us out at that time
because that was his love for us.
But he fought only so that we could recognize this that it's a
problem and said well, I should one should do when we are sued
about what can be more severe than that era Sula called a cave and
don't either right to moon karma rufen.
When moon will not a roofer Monica, how will it be when you
start seeing that evil as good? And you start seeing the good as
evil?
And don't you think that time is here to a certain degree that we
are totally distorted in certain cases we just don't know what to
think music is it halal or haram? Is it good or bad? Brother Lizzy
laugh there's a difference of opinion. And that's what we're
told. We're using it for Darrow is better than Michael Jackson stuff.
Is taking the name of Allah marrying Allah to haram music. You
know, I don't want to go on it's just an example. It's just an
example. One Hadees that really strikes me is the person loves
himself and Alina Are you in between the fourth or fifth
column? Comma up till now
acusa
music creates hypocrisy in the heart, just like water causes
crops to grow. For a very long time, I couldn't understand that
hadith. But the understanding that I think that I have for it is
that, think about it. Once you get into music, what happens to you?
Do you then enjoy listening to the Quran? Or is that not exciting
enough for you?
Once you start getting into music, the only thing that's going to
excite you is something new, something even stronger, something
even more heavy.
Slowly, slowly, that's what happens. It creates what what it
means by hypocrisy here is that it creates a love for something alien
and foreign to what is should be the nourishment of the heart,
which is the recitation of the Quran and the vicar of Allah. I
will rather be listening to music than to listen to the Quran, they
would say, because I find more enjoyment in that. And the only
reason they listen to anything Islamic will be music machines. So
if you say that music machines is actually a chore, right, that's a
different story. Right? That's a different justification, well,
Long Island, but Subhanallah just think about it, the more you get
into music, music has this ajeeb ability to influence our minds and
our hearts. And nobody can deny that. They say that, you know,
there's a study that's done which shows the effect of different
activities, exciting activities that it has on your factor of
excitement, how it makes the back of your neck for you, you know,
you're excited back up your neck, your hair stand up. And this is an
effects that excitement has
we there's no children here, but
they said sexual *. A good section * is not
even as powerful as what music can do for you.
The effect that music can do for you. It's even stronger than
sexual *. You know, forget a good cup of coffee.
Right or a burger or you know, I don't know what else you have
around here. Right? Seriously, that's the effect of this stuff.
Music can make somebody cry. It can make somebody sad and it can
make somebody happy. It has an RGB influence. We're just taking a
look at it from our hearts was one scholar, somebody said is music
halal or haram?
He said all I know it's from the bottom, forget the fatwa all I
know it's on the bottom, it has an effect on your heart. Right, which
is going to supplant replace the benefit that the Quran is going to
have at the thicket of Allah subhanaw taala is going to have
that wasn't my topic today. But that's just an example. When you
start seeing evil as good and good as evil. When everything becomes
so deceptive, so confusing. And that is the focus of Shavon Iblees
is to deceive and to turn things around. And the journal is exactly
what that means the journal that's exactly what the journal means.
digelar means to make something seem otherwise then what it's
reality is, and that's the function of all of these things.
And then the prophets of Allah and then they said, We're counting on
ya rasool Allah, that's going to happen as well Yeah, Rasul Allah.
And the Prophet Saracen said yes, and even worse than that is going
to happen and he continue to Hadith and he mentioned an opening
where he said that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada that no, there is going to
be such a fitna a test and trial, some sense of mischief is going to
be put upon them in this world, that even the wisest of them will
become totally confused about it. I don't think we're at that level.
And that's why we can be optimistic. We're not at that
level, we do have people who understand the right and wrong
today, and they tell us and they guide us as the great thing about
it. So it's not at the level insha Allah.
And then
that's how the Hadith ends in this version, the another version has
some addition, but to move on.
Some basic simple things
are going on your lawn, we all know hamari alone, how did he come
out of his house?
The day he decided that I'm going to finish the Prophet Muhammad
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he came out with a sword. He made no
secret about it. It wasn't a hidden salary, he's going he's
going to gone. Assassinate secretly. It was out. He's on his
way. Somebody meets him and says Where you going? very frightened
about what's happening here. And he said, I'm going to kill us for
the loss of Allah while you're selling now the biller so the
person to dis distract him. He says go look at your sister's
house and your brother in law. So he distracted him and that was the
cause for his Eman his Islam right now. That is how he starts off.
Look forward.
For about two or three decades, he's the Khalifa of the believers.
Right? He's the Khalifa of the believers. And reading his life is
extremely inspirational. This one man, this is a related Bible.
Laker some candy is the beauty of life again, he says that a person
went, he had problems with his wife. What was the problems? His
wife used to speak a lot. She used to speak a lot against him not
speak a lot, speak a lot is a different story than
complain a lot, get angry a lot, just constantly verbally abusive.
I've got a very verbally abusive wife. So he's going to complain to
rumble, poverty, and I'll get some advice from him. What should I do
about it? So he goes all the way into on one of your loved one
whose house he's standing on. So he knocks on the door. And he's
waiting for a response. And you know what, he's suddenly he is, he
sees this big argument inside. The wife of Amarante Allah one.
Her name was Michael foo,
the daughter of audio Viola one, she must have been 20 or 30 years
younger, or 30, at least about 25 or 30 years younger than me Allah
one. The only reason I'm gonna get longer married her was so that he
could be married into the family of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
that was early and 14 or the Allah Allah his daughter.
She is having a god Romana, she's saying WARSOFSKY she's angry at
him. And this man hears this from outside. He's just knocked on the
door. And then he hears this and he thinks to himself, What is he?
What are you going to think to yourself? If you saw that, I've
come here to solve my affair out, get some advice, but his wife is
doing the same thing to him, meaning that's what he equated us,
right? His wife is shouting at him. And he started walking away.
Or not only alone had heard the knock. So he then came out. And
this person had walked Hey, come here. Where have you gone to?
You're not what's wrong with you, you know, I'm gonna be alone is
taking, like, you're not gonna stay around. You know, we really
have to. He says, To tell the truth. I came for a reason. But
I'm wondering how you're going to help me. He says I, I came. And I
had to start relieving. Stop going back because I said either kind of
had a how to omit meaning. If this is the situation with the Ameerul
Momineen Marzotto. T with his wife for cave.
How is he going to be with us? Forgive her highly? What's my
situation? Right? Now listen to what Amara. The Allahu Anhu said,
this is the same man who was so angry. He went out to kill
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam. But look what Islam has
done for music team. Allah purifies their hearts. He turns
around and he says, yeah, look at the way he talks him. He says, Oh,
my brother, he's at his level. Now. He's not speaking as a mutant
woman hate this at all. We weren't arguing. That was the slave girl
talking. She was talking to somebody else. He was telling my
son. Imagine if we got caught like that. I'm trying to remember.
Right? Imagine if we got caught like that. With our wives. I mean,
unfortunately, many of you don't seem to be married. I feel sorry
for you. But
just imagine if you're in that case, and your friend suddenly
showed up at the door some stranger, and you're gonna make a
mix. It's normal. Yeah, she was on the phone to someone. She's
showing her friend.
Imagine if the women got caught doing that. And then friends
outside your name. Where were you up to now? Don't worry. That was
just you know, I don't know. I was talking to the woman I was talking
about from singing in the bathroom. You know? When we have
come down? No pretenses. Simple, straightforward. No hypocrisy.
This is what you call us a harbor. Abdullah. Mr. Daniel, he describes
the Sahaba he said they were without pretenses. You told them
to eat Bismillah if they're hungry, isn't lovelies they're not
hungry. You know, we don't be don't feel like it. Now, whether
you're a Northern Irish or to really northern on a lot, you have
to be forced to read you have to be encouraged to you have to, you
know, that kind of pretenses. So he does not speak to him as the
Ameerul Momineen. Hey, listen up. Right. This is what it supposed to
be. He turns down it comes down to his level. He said, Yeah, okay. In
the abdomen to her. I have I am tolerating. I'm bearing all of
this in the abdomen to her. The homecooking Mahalia, the
homecooking Mahalia because she has rights over me.
She has rights over me. That's why I have to deal with this. I have
to bear it. What are these rights
in the hubback Botha to live by me? She This is not her
responsibility. But she bakes my bread. she bakes my bread.
compares it to sorry Papa told me she she cooks my food. tambahan
the home see, she bakes my bread. She makes my food. she bakes my
bread of us.
Say hello to Lithia Barbie, she washes my clothes,
she washes my clothes. And more. They're actually one of the
she nurses, my child, she breastfeeds, my child, none of
these other responsibilities of the wife in court.
They all things which are considered social responsibilities
and responsibilities between the woman and Allah for her husband,
if she comes from a house like that, the feeling of it is that if
a woman comes from a house, from a household would do all of this
work, she wouldn't be expected to carry on doing that kind of work.
That's the tip of it. Right? But really, she can charge the husband
holding and if you do that, charge the husband for feeding his son,
which is herself as well. Because it's his responsibility.
I mean, this is some really bad on Fifth. But again, not don't get
too excited. I can start hearing some discussion please. Right.
This is a mobile phone. She's speaking more there are too many
what are they? She is She nurses my child? Well, Lisa Valley can be
worshipping Allah, you know, there's a lot of things and none
of that is why'd you unnecessary on him. None of that is what you
were necessary on here. And then above all, he said, we're just
going to call the BB her annual haram. My heart become satisfied
away is protected. get satisfaction away from haram
satisfaction through her sexual *. She provides for my
sexual desires and needs. So I don't have to go into the Haram
and for anatomy to her. So I bear all of this. I'm patient with all
of this for Karla Raju. So this man he listened to all Meridiana
talking to him like a man to man. He said you have to be remote.
Many workers are because OJT or we will not meaning my work is the
same. And
that we do hierarchy. The fact the mill hierarchy is organized said
Be patient with a beret. They don't do this all the time only do
it when they get PMT. Right and only do this when it's time of the
month. So unless they get a habit of doing it, which is really sad,
right? They just do it sometimes just hormonal issues, you know,
men need to understand that. So how are we women? One day it is
like this the next day, there's not one common find what happened
to yesterday.
It's just the time of the month, you just take medicine by the way,
if somebody has that problem, PMT production meeting you but you
stay with me is vitamin D or vitamin K or something like that.
It calms the hormones. And if there's any husbands here that
have problem with that, go and check a dietitian, because
sometimes it's a vitamin deficiency, really, women are very
complex creatures that are seriously in a very sophisticated,
very complex. And
I've done a lot of marriage counseling in my life to be able
to speak about this because seriously, there are certain
sometimes just very simple remedies for this thing. Very
simple remedy for it. And then it becomes an argument because the
man can tolerate the promise that allows and said if you dislike
something about and focus on the goods that you like about it, and
that will outweigh the birds. Now I know like there accepts
exceptions to this right? I know there's exceptions to this. But
finally,
I just want to say that, that concept of purification of the
heart, as you can see it spans many ideas, from beliefs, to
o'clock to interaction, relationships, it's all about the
heart, if the heart can be focused on if today, the only thing that
we go away with here is a look, I've got a heart I need to look
after it, it goes through this turmoil, it becomes corrupted, or
it could become a sound, I want to strive to make it sound before I
die so that we can go to Allah subhanaw taala with a convent
Salim with a sound heart, that's my doll for myself and for
everybody else here and for our families, that Allah subhanaw
taala give us a sound heart, Allah subhanaw taala allow us to work on
ourselves, right? Whether we work on ourselves through the guidance
of some Sheikh, some accomplished person, or a good friend, a good
pious, righteous friend that can advise us properly, or we just
reflect over while enemies say about us. And we try to really
genuinely think Do we really have those problems in ourselves? Or we
just look at the defects of others. And we say we want to
avoid those same defects. Somebody asked me Saudis, you've got such
great character, where did you learn it from? He said, I just saw
the ignorance of the ignorant person, the evils of an evil
person, and I just decided that I wanted to avoid that. And we have
to constantly be learning. We because we are constantly students
in this regard. We're constantly patients industry God, because at
the end of the day, in the Hereafter, we want to stand in
front of Allah subhanaw taala with 101 Salim with a sound heart may
Allah subhanaw taala give us that while he was at 109 Ramadan I
mean, we also kind of wondering what all of those made this
program a possibility today and we want all of you for the time that
you've given and anything that you may have not been able to do in
this time we Allah allow you to complete that miraculously
inshallah and
