Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Qur’anic Reflections How Believers Should Face Difficult Devotion Part 2

Just a quick point on bad thoughts. According to one

opinion, what does it mean that you will be taken to task for your

thoughts? I shudder the Allahu Anhu reports whenever somebody

discusses something in their own mind of any evil, the way that

will be reckoned for by ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada if he is going to

record for it right will be that you will be for every bad thoughts

that you have in your mind you will be given some kind of sadness

and grief is going to overtake you for every bad thought you allow in

your you indulge in your mind even if you don't do it. If we want to

stay away from sadness, then stop thinking evil. Yes, evil thoughts

might come in our mind. Don't engage them. If you engage them

you're going to be punished by a sadness in this world.

either Leisha in call the broadly speaking, if you want to look at

this in detail, these are five levels of thought that come into

somebody's mind

hajus in Arabic they call hajus hotter at evenness hum and Aslan

Hodges I will translate as a fleeting thought, you know, you

get these thoughts, it just pops in your mind. You don't interact

with it, it doesn't even say anything goes.

This constantly our mind is open to thoughts in solid. Wherever we

are. There's just constant thoughts, we might be engaged in

something, there's another thought that will come in mind. But

because so engaged will go away. That's a fleeting thought is just

literally a second or so you don't engage it, it doesn't linger. It

just goes. The second type is where a thought comes in. And it

lingers for a while. So it's the lingering thought. But you don't

interact with it. It's there for a while. But you're too occupied to

remember, it's in the back of your mind or something but you didn't

really engage it. That's number two. Number three, a thought came

in it lingered and you engage should I do that or not? That's a

good idea, or that's a bad idea. should I should I not? Oh, that's

haram? Or maybe I've got this leeway. Maybe I've got this

excuse. Maybe nobody will see. Right? Maybe I'll be forgiven? Or

should I give this donation or not a thought came in your mind you

should give this donation should i It's a lot of money. shaytaan you

know, all of this, these are this is what you call Hadith enough's

where you're speaking to yourself is a discourse with yourself.

Right? So this is when you're discussing, discussing with

yourself, the two minds, the two voices in your mind.

All three of these, if you're discussing a bad thing in your

mind, I should do that tomorrow. I should call her up. I should do

this. I should do that. You're not sinful for any of these.

The fleeting, the lingering, and now the interactive sort of

thought, No, nothing. Okay. What's the next stage? The next stage is

that you kept thinking and discussing and then you incline

towards the idea? Yes, I should do it. After the discussion going

back and forth. You said yes, I'm going to do it.

You call that now?

That's called Hamid Arabic, like you decided not decided but you're

inclined towards doing it. Now. You're not fully resolved yet?

Now you've inclined? Again, Allah says we're going to forgive you

probably someone said that's going to be forgiven as well, even

though you're inclined because you haven't done it yet. However, the

next stage, then is your resolve to do it. Yes, I'm going to do it.

You put the plans in action, whatever, yes, I'm going to do it

in your planet. That's called Assam full resolve to do

something. That's where Some scholars say you are accountable

for that now, and others say you're even forgiven for that.

Now, there's a bit of detail here. We can't go into that much detail

right now. But it's a bit of detail because there's some bad

acts which are literally based on thought.

They are as soon as you go to the home stage, you're going to be

trouble with that are definitely at the ASMs stage, which is for

example to think of gopher I don't really want to believe, too Why do

I believe that there's this question and there's Dawkins says

this and so and so says this and there's this argument can't really

be a god and whatever you that's Hadith, enough's. And then if you

decide that yes, there can't be a God, there is no God, that's cool

for you never said it outside. You haven't said anything, you could

still be showing yourself as a believer. But that's cool for. So

some things by the nature of which the action is a thought anyway,

that is what it is call for is a thought it is you express it, but

Iman is an idea in the heart. It's from the heart, we just express

our iman for others to know, right, and for us to do what we

need to do. That would definitely be the case. But if it's the

scholars who say we forgive that this is forgiven, as well as like,

for example, you decided to do Zina, tomorrow, a person decided

that tomorrow he's going to go to a club, right? He's been there

before, it's all organized. So he decided to go call up his friend.

We're gonna go tomorrow, his friends going to come and pick it

up. He doesn't have a card that way. And it's too much of a hassle

to go in a bus. Say someone's going to pick him up. Next day is

friend's car breaks down. So his friend calls him last minute

sorry, we can't go my cars broken. Is he sinful? Now?

According to those who say yes, then they are sinful. He's sinful,

but only sin for resolve to do it. And he gone that would have been

the biggest sin obviously, that would have been a bigger sin, but

he still and the others. They say no, he's not sinful.

I go with the opinion that he is sinful because you've made a full

resolve to do so you've put plan in action, and you did something

of that nature. But then of course you can seek forgiveness.

So that's what this discussion is about. So

now let's look at this again, this surah which is Surah Al Baqarah.

Allah it's a longer story in the world as you know. It's the

longest one in the Quran and the longest in the world. Why am I

thinking of the world today? But Allah subhanho wa Taala if you've

got if you start from the beginning, Allah subhanaw taala

discusses though he Oneness of Allah, Prophet prophecy, and he

discusses a number of other principles. There's lots of things

that Allah subhanaw taala discusses in this surah discusses

Zakat and Salah and pea sauce and fasting and hygiene, Jihad and

Heydon Tala can aid and lots of things, right.

Allah why does he end this surah with such prominent verses about

Lila Hema is somehow at your man fell out. So

Allah wants to bring the point home that after all of this,

remember, the reason for all of this is that ALLAH SubhanA, WA

Tada

has the kingdom of everything. And Allah subhanaw taala has the

perfection of everything.

Now, if you look at anybody, and they have characteristics, so

somebody is a really good painter, somebody is a really good speaker,

somebody has a lot of knowledge, somebody has a lot of power. Now

imagine it out of all characteristics that anyone can

have, which characteristics do you think are the most fundamental

characteristics that even the others rely on? The other

characteristics rely on? One is power, and knowledge, knowledge

and power, they are the most important characteristics that

anybody can have. Because with knowledge and power, then you can

design well if you're a designer, then you can speak well, because

you need power for that you need knowledge, knowledge and power at

the back of everything, the other foundational characteristics of

everything. So in this verse, Allah subhanaw taala speaks just

about those two characteristics. So by saying, well, Allah, he

might be somewhat Yama filled, Allah is saying I've got milk and

milk.

Basically, I've got sovereignty and kingdom and ownership of all

of this.

Which essentially is understood as him having power of of creating

all of this and thus controlling all of it, nourishing all of it,

and he has control so that is absolute power is understood from

Linda Hema, this summer with your martial arts. Now, there is

knowledge now, although knowledge comes in there, because how would

you create all of this without knowledge, but Allah makes it

clear by saying the next verse we're in to do Matthew and fusi

come, if you reveal which is in your heart, or you keep it,

concealed, Allah knows it, that talks about absolute knowledge. So

absolute knowledge, absolute power, that's what we understand

from that. Now, if anyone usually if you've got anyone in the world

among your friends or your local Imams or scholars or people right,

as soon as a person has full control and full knowledge, then

usually they gain a lot of respect. The one with the greater

knowledge and greater power, they have more respect, right? So

that means that f

everything besides Allah subhanaw taala in the heavens and earth

must be the creation of Allah, and must be those that are nourished

by Allah and cherished by Allah and looked after by Allah and

cared for by Allah subhanaw taala. So that's the conclusion we should

reach by this, if you really think about it, that is nobody else we

can go to. And it's only Allah subhanaw taala we can do that we

can go for

just a quick point on bad thoughts. According to one

opinion, what does it mean that you will be taken to task for your

thoughts? I shadow the Allahu Allah reports that

whenever somebody discusses something in their own mind of any

evil, the way that will be reckoned for by ALLAH SubhanA wa

Tada if he is going to recommend for it right will be that you will

be for every bad thoughts that you have in your mind you will be

given

a sadness

some kind of sadness, and grief is going to overtake you for every

bad thought you allow in your you indulge in your mind, even if you

don't do it.

So, if we want to stay away from sadness, then stop thinking evil.

Yes, evil thoughts might come in our mind. Don't engage them. If

you engage them, you're going to be punished by a sadness in this

world, which is still good. They say the Hadith says the actual the

Allahu Ana said in the dunya, that's going to happen with either

some kind of Husum or oven, or it could be some other kind of pain.

But when the hero comes, live your salon, you're not going to be

questioned about this. So that's it's expiation in the world of

sadness is of the world.

But you don't want that sadness of the world. So just stop indulging

in bed. Well, I'm Jakob Ali.

So it's related that she asked the prophets of Allah Islam about this

verse and this is the response she had gotten. So that's what she was

revealing about this. So our time is up. Allah subhana wa Tada.

As I said, in the next part of this verse, Allah subhanaw taala

says, fail if you really may Yeshua or your as the moment

Yeshua, Allah will forgive, to whomever for whomever he wishes,

and Allah subhanaw taala will punish whomever he wishes. That's

a warning after knowing about Allah subhanho wa Taala and that

he's in control of everything, just to get a straight. That's why

this verse

Armineh, Rasul will be my own Zilla era Hema Robbie, he will not

be known. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam has mentioned as believing

in this to show us that if the prophet believes in, if it's good

enough for the Prophet, why isn't it good enough for you? I mean,

it's not about being good enough for the prophet in the way the

prophets Iman is sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is very different from

our iman.

The Prophet sallallahu Sallam knows about what Allah has

revealed and what he wants much more in depth and in the most

subtle and most complicated and delicate and sophisticated way

than we know. That's the promise of Allah isms. Iman, and ALLAH

SubhanA wa Tada. So the main lesson from this, that I that I

found most useful for myself was the fact that whenever you come

across any hardship, do what the Sahaba did. And ponder this verse,

that Hola. Cancel this hokum cancel this ruling of taking us to

account for our thoughts because of the way we responded. So we

Insha Allah, if we respond to any during the saying, We believe in

Allah, we're going to try to do this. Yes, we might be weak, oh

Allah forgive us for our weaknesses, our mistakes, our

discrepancies and our defects, but we're going to do it and we're

going to make Istighfar for whatever we do wrong. And Allah

will make it easy for us and he'll accept it. That's Allah subhanaw

taala has mercy. He is the owner. He can punish us if he wants to.

But he has given us a way out. So I'm in semi now what wulfrun aka

Robina were illegal. Merci May Allah subhanaw taala bless her

soul.

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 a basic level, so that we can become more aware

of what our Dean 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 aka la harem Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
