hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen

00:00:02 --> 00:00:07

wa salatu salam ala RLSA you will mousseline early he

00:00:08 --> 00:00:13

also be about a cosa limit the Sleeman Kathira and laomi Dean and

00:00:15 --> 00:00:18

God Allah Jota Monica with the NFL Quran in Nigeria will for Connell

Hamid, a woman gonna meet and for Hina who were journaler who know

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

rhenium she behave in US

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala and you say you

00:00:30 --> 00:00:32

deny Mohammed or vertical Salam.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38

Allah subhanaw taala tells us in many places in the Quran, it gives

00:00:38 --> 00:00:43

us different amounts of guidance or guidance in different ways

00:00:43 --> 00:00:43

rather.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:48

For example, Allah subhanaw taala speaks about the angels. He tells

00:00:48 --> 00:00:52

us about the angels he says Leia Soon Allah Hannah Amara, whom we

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

have our Luna, you moron, that the angels are such that they do not

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

disobey Allah.

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

And they do exactly what Allah says, Lay out soon Allah humma

00:01:01 --> 00:01:05

Amara home, they do not disobey Allah in anything that he

00:01:05 --> 00:01:10

commands. We have our Luna and they do exactly my Maroun what

00:01:10 --> 00:01:15

they have been commanded. Now, Allah subhanaw taala doesn't

00:01:15 --> 00:01:15

speak.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:21

Without reciting the Quran, anything that he mentioned, it's

00:01:21 --> 00:01:26

primarily for the guidance, primarily for taking a lesson for

00:01:26 --> 00:01:30

consideration. It's not just that there's no access in the Quran,

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34

there is no superfluous matter in the Quran, where it's just extra

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

doesn't really mean much. It's just isn't it, there's nothing

00:01:37 --> 00:01:41

like that everything has a particular bearing as to why it's

00:01:41 --> 00:01:44

been mentioned there. And there's a very good reason for it being

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

there. That's that's the point. So when Allah subhanaw taala is

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

telling us about the angels, the angel have this angelic, they are

00:01:53 --> 00:01:57

of the angelic realm, that's, it's that that is what they are. It's a

00:01:57 --> 00:02:01

special look of Allah subhanaw taala, who do not disobey Allah,

00:02:02 --> 00:02:08

so that you learn from the Quran, and from the surah allah

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11

sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that the status of the angel is such

00:02:11 --> 00:02:15

that they are pure beings, they're the ones who are chosen to do the

00:02:15 --> 00:02:18

work of Allah subhanho wa taala. In this world, they're created

00:02:18 --> 00:02:22

from light. So they, the impression we get of the angels is

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

of a lofty kind of creation, a lofty creation. So when we then

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

hear that this is their state, and this is what they do, then we're

00:02:31 --> 00:02:36

supposed to be encouraged to go in that direction. We can't become

00:02:36 --> 00:02:41

angels because we have the potential to sin. But what their

00:02:41 --> 00:02:44

state is and why they're so close to Allah subhanaw taala among

00:02:44 --> 00:02:48

them, I look, the angels are the closest to Allah subhanaw taala in

00:02:48 --> 00:02:55

terms of the work that he does with them. So that in itself is an

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

indication of what gets a person close to Allah subhanaw taala.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:05

One of the features of the angels in the state of this, which is

00:03:05 --> 00:03:09

that they do everything that Allah subhanaw taala tells them to do is

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

the aspect of the absence of hafla.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

They never have, they are never

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20

negligent of Allah subhanho wa Taala they are constantly focused

00:03:20 --> 00:03:23

on Allah subhanaw taala, they do exactly what he does. That's the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:24

point of that.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:30

We can also reach that we can also reach a state where we don't

00:03:30 --> 00:03:33

disobey Allah subhanaw taala or minimally disobey Allah subhanaw

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

taala by accident or whatever. If the hafla aspect is gone. It's the

00:03:37 --> 00:03:42

ruffler which is where our heart is allowed to forget Allah and

00:03:42 --> 00:03:47

focus on something else. Instead, if you go down to the bottom of

00:03:47 --> 00:03:51

it, this is exactly what the situation is. Why we do wrong is

00:03:51 --> 00:03:55

in our moment of ruffler why we would miss a prayer or why we

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

would

00:03:57 --> 00:04:02

not consider something important that is important is because we

00:04:02 --> 00:04:06

have that gulf in our heart, which is that negligence, that absence

00:04:06 --> 00:04:09

from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. And we all know that if we had that

00:04:09 --> 00:04:14

absence in our mind, that if we had the, the, the absence was

00:04:14 --> 00:04:18

absent and we were focused, then we would never do anything wrong.

00:04:20 --> 00:04:23

Because that focus is really, really important. The moments of

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

focus that we have in consciousness that we have, things

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

go well for us. It's easy for us. But once you have the absence,

00:04:31 --> 00:04:34

then it gets difficult, then you actually even forget that's a

00:04:34 --> 00:04:38

moment of absence from Allah subhanaw taala. So Allah subhanaw

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

taala in another verse verse, he says, with charisma, Arabic

00:04:43 --> 00:04:45

waterbottle la heeta batida.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:53

Remember, the name of your load? Remember the name of your load?

00:04:53 --> 00:04:58

mentioned the name of your load was called. Remember the name of

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

your load? What habit

00:05:00 --> 00:05:07

La hitop de la and tbaytel is from basically saying and completely

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

cut away from everything else and be completely focused in his to

00:05:12 --> 00:05:18

him the de la that which is an emphasis so and become completely

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

focused on him.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

Now how does one become like that?

00:05:25 --> 00:05:29

This is what Allah subhanaw taala is telling us to do 24 hours, 24

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

hours, how does a person become focused on Allah subhanaw taala 24

00:05:33 --> 00:05:34

hours, we got other things to do.

00:05:36 --> 00:05:42

We got to eat, we've got to work. Now, in our minds, this this kind

00:05:42 --> 00:05:47

of dichotomy appears because in our mind, we have restricted

00:05:47 --> 00:05:50

remembrance to particular formalities.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

We've restricted particular liquor to particular formalities, and

00:05:56 --> 00:06:02

we're so happy that five times a day, we can do salads, which we

00:06:02 --> 00:06:03

consider to be

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

the time when we shouldn't have offline. So we are happy and

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

satisfied and our perspective in our mind is that

00:06:13 --> 00:06:16

at least five times a day or however many times a day and if we

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

have a time for reading Quran or doing a bit of vicar, right, then

00:06:19 --> 00:06:22

we're not laughing in that time, or are we awful?

00:06:24 --> 00:06:28

If you really are seriously to consider the concept of ruffler in

00:06:28 --> 00:06:33

our lives, then number one, the concept that we have of time for

00:06:33 --> 00:06:35

this and time for that is totally wrong.

00:06:37 --> 00:06:41

Yes, if we, if it was an aspect of

00:06:43 --> 00:06:48

doing VIG, a particular vicar, or a particular activity or

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

particular a bother at a particular time, that's

00:06:51 --> 00:06:51

understandable.

00:06:53 --> 00:06:55

But the vicar and the consciousness of Allah subhanaw

00:06:55 --> 00:06:59

taala, Tabata Ito Tila conscious of Allah subhanaw taala should be

00:06:59 --> 00:07:00

always there.

00:07:01 --> 00:07:05

Which means that we need to change our view of the way we live our

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

life and how we live our life. And firstly, take out from our mind

00:07:09 --> 00:07:12

that you can only remember Allah subhanaw taala in worship.

00:07:13 --> 00:07:18

This is exactly what we're especially for this path that we

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

have chosen, this is exactly what he's trying to teach us. That

00:07:22 --> 00:07:25

whether you're sleeping, whether you're eating, whether you're

00:07:25 --> 00:07:26

working,

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

your heart should remain connected on Allah subhanaw taala which

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

means that you should be thinking of him and

00:07:34 --> 00:07:40

and he should be informing our each decision, our thoughts, and

00:07:40 --> 00:07:41

so on and so forth.

00:07:45 --> 00:07:48

So Tabitha, later Bettina, become focused on Allah subhanho wa

00:07:48 --> 00:07:49

taala.

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

Because it requires a lot of training.

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

It requires a lot of thought about Allah subhanaw taala whether it's

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

even if you're just enjoying scenery,

00:08:01 --> 00:08:04

you think of Allah subhanaw taala and how he created this, what the

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

purpose is behind this, even that it's just, it's just about trying

00:08:08 --> 00:08:11

to make the connection between Allah subhanaw taala and the thing

00:08:11 --> 00:08:12

you're doing

00:08:14 --> 00:08:18

what you're seeing that that's that's essentially what it is.

00:08:19 --> 00:08:22

Sometimes views sit with certain Olia of Allah subhanaw taala

00:08:22 --> 00:08:24

you're amazed and how can they think this way?

00:08:27 --> 00:08:30

Where do they get this idea from which book did they read this and

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

these things don't come from books, because, you know, they're

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

talking about a modern phenomenon and they telling you about Allah's

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

person, you know, they connected that to Allah subhanaw taala

00:08:43 --> 00:08:46

within that, and you wonder how they do that.

00:08:48 --> 00:08:51

So they couldn't have read that in a book. Because these kinds of

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

modern feelings that they are sometimes the examples they give

00:08:53 --> 00:08:58

it, they weren't existent before. But of course, by reading how

00:08:58 --> 00:09:02

people do this will help us to understand how these things

00:09:02 --> 00:09:02

happen.

00:09:04 --> 00:09:04

And

00:09:06 --> 00:09:11

that's why they say that this path is really gained. That the best

00:09:11 --> 00:09:15

benefit you can have is by the SAPA by being with a person by

00:09:15 --> 00:09:19

being with the Olia because you see it in action.

00:09:20 --> 00:09:22

You see them in different states,

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

interacting with the world outside, for the for the sake of

00:09:28 --> 00:09:31

Allah subhanaw taala. So one of the great mysteries of the past he

00:09:31 --> 00:09:32

said that

00:09:34 --> 00:09:41

we must detract from all the makuu caught all of creation we must

00:09:41 --> 00:09:42

detract from

00:09:44 --> 00:09:49

now, on the face of it, this sounds quite deceiving, because

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

that's not what he means. He doesn't mean that go into hermit

00:09:53 --> 00:09:58

shoes. Forget everybody. Cut away from everybody. Essentially what

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

he's saying is that you

00:10:00 --> 00:10:03

Your focus should be entirely on Allah subhanaw taala and cut away

00:10:03 --> 00:10:07

from the material gods. What he means by that essentially, is that

00:10:08 --> 00:10:11

when the primary focus becomes Allah, the method he gives for

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

that is cut away from the mahalo cards, break your ties with

00:10:16 --> 00:10:16

everything.

00:10:18 --> 00:10:23

Develop your ties with Allah subhanaw taala and then fulfill

00:10:24 --> 00:10:26

your relationship with the people for the sake of Allah subhanaw

00:10:26 --> 00:10:30

taala. So, you're going to be doing the same thing, you're going

00:10:30 --> 00:10:34

to be speaking to people living with them, loving them, everything

00:10:34 --> 00:10:39

else, but because it's for Allah, not for them, then that Allah flow

00:10:39 --> 00:10:40

will not be there.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:44

So the whole flow will not the focus will always be through

00:10:44 --> 00:10:48

Allah. My relationship with Him is for Allah subhanaw taala sake.

00:10:51 --> 00:10:55

So cut away from the people, connect yourself to Allah and then

00:10:55 --> 00:10:58

reconnect with the people on that basis.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

It will take away selfishness, it will take away everything.

00:11:04 --> 00:11:05

And

00:11:06 --> 00:11:10

the more the person has this karma of ALLAH SubhanA it's an atma. For

00:11:10 --> 00:11:13

a person to take everything through Allah. See everything

00:11:13 --> 00:11:14

through that lens.

00:11:15 --> 00:11:18

It's a network of Allah subhanaw taala We ask Allah for that Nirma

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

What if somebody has that?

00:11:24 --> 00:11:28

Then, for example, you were praying, Salat

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

what happens in our salad nowadays?

00:11:32 --> 00:11:35

We think about everything but Allah subhanaw taala in our salah.

00:11:35 --> 00:11:40

If we're lucky, we might just remember him. Two, three times in

00:11:40 --> 00:11:43

the Salah that we're actually doing this for Allah subhanaw

00:11:43 --> 00:11:46

taala. In fact, even in our Nia we're supposed to say, Oh Allah,

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

I'm praying to the gods for you.

00:11:49 --> 00:11:53

Even that is done in soldier Afula that we don't even remember Allah

00:11:53 --> 00:11:58

subhanaw taala even in our Nia, whereas Nia is supposed to be some

00:11:58 --> 00:12:00

a matter of the heart that this is your thought this is your

00:12:00 --> 00:12:03

presence. This is your consciences. It is your

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

conscience. So

00:12:06 --> 00:12:10

I was solid, are they even accepted? Because even our Nia

00:12:10 --> 00:12:13

wasn't correct. Meaning it wasn't with presence. It was correct.

00:12:13 --> 00:12:17

From a fakie perspective. Did you intend to move the will say, did

00:12:17 --> 00:12:21

you intend to records, you're facing the Qibla europeo, you had

00:12:21 --> 00:12:26

will do. It was time, all of your Ferraris were met, you know, you

00:12:26 --> 00:12:29

stood up you did? Your Salat is valid from that sense. But

00:12:30 --> 00:12:34

it's a form, it's a form that was valid. The presence wasn't there,

00:12:34 --> 00:12:38

that's where it was Allah doesn't do anything. So until we're not

00:12:38 --> 00:12:41

focused on Allah subhanaw taala conscious of him all the time.

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

This is the until we don't have that NEMA, then our solids are

00:12:45 --> 00:12:50

going to be lacking in that case, as well. And now I think one step

00:12:50 --> 00:12:52

further, that if

00:12:53 --> 00:12:57

in our solids, we just about managed to be conscious of Allah

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

subhanaw taala a few times if we're lucky, and not entirely and

00:13:00 --> 00:13:04

the month look is what's in our mind. When I say, look, I mean,

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

we're thinking about where we have to go today. You know, I have to

00:13:09 --> 00:13:14

take my family shopping, for example, I have to go to work

00:13:14 --> 00:13:17

tomorrow, or this is what happened at work, it bothered me, this is

00:13:17 --> 00:13:20

what's going on today. Some concern, some grief, all of these

00:13:20 --> 00:13:22

groups they come in, especially at solid time.

00:13:24 --> 00:13:25

Especially it's a lot.

00:13:26 --> 00:13:29

So if that's happening in our solid, then that means we don't

00:13:29 --> 00:13:31

have the net amount of presence.

00:13:32 --> 00:13:36

We try to develop that presence. And at least on the Day of

00:13:36 --> 00:13:39

Judgment, we can tell Allah, Allah, I did try. I was trying.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

Some people don't think about this for the rest of the day pray, they

00:13:43 --> 00:13:47

pray, they pray, but they don't. The focus is not there.

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

And they have no presence, they have no consciousness that they've

00:13:50 --> 00:13:54

been doing wrong, at least, if we've developed the consciousness

00:13:54 --> 00:13:58

of the fact that we're not doing this right, then at least one

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

level of ignorance has been dispelled. Which is that? I don't

00:14:02 --> 00:14:07

know. But at least I know, I don't know. When it's the I don't know.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

And I don't know that I don't know, then that's the biggest form

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

of ignorance.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:14

So at least in this case, there's that one level, okay, I don't

00:14:14 --> 00:14:19

know. But then this, this should also stay in our mind because we

00:14:19 --> 00:14:20

become a half of this fact.

00:14:21 --> 00:14:25

I don't know that we become hostile. We just do our prayer.

00:14:25 --> 00:14:29

We're so immersed in the dunya that we make our prayer

00:14:29 --> 00:14:32

mechanically, without realizing. So we don't even have the

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

opportunity. So we have to train ourselves. I think the way we do

00:14:37 --> 00:14:40

it is we have to train ourselves to stand up in front of Allah

00:14:40 --> 00:14:43

subhanaw taala and don't start our salad until we have a good

00:14:43 --> 00:14:47

intention, at least like that. So that's the minimum that we can do.

00:14:48 --> 00:14:53

At least that much. So for example, if we do start our salaat

00:14:54 --> 00:14:57

and we realize that we didn't start it with consciousness, we

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

didn't start it with consciousness then started again.

00:15:01 --> 00:15:06

It's asking for a lot to be conscious throughout our salads.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:10

But that's why we do so much salad so many times to be able to

00:15:10 --> 00:15:16

develop that consciousness. But at least if we can start our salad

00:15:16 --> 00:15:19

with that consciousness and real consciousness, otherwise, don't

00:15:19 --> 00:15:22

consider yourself started. If you've got, if you've got

00:15:22 --> 00:15:26

obsessive disorder, then then this will be difficult because then

00:15:26 --> 00:15:28

you'll be starting hundreds of times and never your solid will

00:15:28 --> 00:15:33

never be done. Right? You know, this is not for that reason, it's

00:15:33 --> 00:15:34

for the reason I have

00:15:36 --> 00:15:40

to get that focus. So let us make it our

00:15:41 --> 00:15:44

habit now, that at least when we begin our Salaat we've got the

00:15:44 --> 00:15:47

consciousness for Allah subhanaw taala I am standing in front of

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

Allah subhanaw taala I'm doing these photocards that's,

00:15:51 --> 00:15:54

Inshallah, that's where we can we can start from it will help us but

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

this is basically the litmus test.

00:15:58 --> 00:16:03

Now, think of it. The next step. If this is our case, in solid,

00:16:03 --> 00:16:07

where we're supposed to be focused on it's action

00:16:09 --> 00:16:13

that has been dedicated for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and

00:16:13 --> 00:16:19

we are absent in our salats then can you imagine what our state is

00:16:19 --> 00:16:20

outside of our Salah then

00:16:22 --> 00:16:28

when there is no indications to be focused, the Salah is an indicator

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

to be focused it is for Allah Oh ALLAH I'm praying for you. And

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

we're absent in our salad so can you imagine what our state is done

00:16:35 --> 00:16:38

outside of salad when you're not even supposed to be focused in our

00:16:38 --> 00:16:39

mind you know, according to our concept

00:16:40 --> 00:16:45

now to really understand whether we have a disease in our heart or

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

not and whether our heart need work or not, if somebody is still

00:16:48 --> 00:16:51

not convinced that we still if somebody is still not convinced

00:16:51 --> 00:16:54

that we have a problem in our heart see no no no, that's not a

00:16:54 --> 00:16:57

problem. You know, whatever the case is, okay, fine. Let's let's

00:16:57 --> 00:16:58

take another test.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:01

This is all about self reflection.

00:17:02 --> 00:17:07

Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran to women, for Allah Tala and

00:17:07 --> 00:17:08

Allah Who will call

00:17:10 --> 00:17:12

do not soften your voices.

00:17:14 --> 00:17:14

Do not

00:17:17 --> 00:17:21

soften your voices and speak in this kind of low tone.

00:17:23 --> 00:17:26

Fire Tamara lady if he called me he Maradona them

00:17:27 --> 00:17:31

so that those who have a disease in their heart will find an

00:17:31 --> 00:17:31

attraction

00:17:32 --> 00:17:36

file tomorrow. Tomorrow, Tama means a desire

00:17:37 --> 00:17:43

to get something. So those who have modern modern means a

00:17:43 --> 00:17:43

sickness

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

and Subhanallah the same word has been used for more than 15 feet.

00:17:47 --> 00:17:51

Kulu be humanoid. They have a sickness in their heart, which is

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

an excessive nature, so that it's good.

00:17:56 --> 00:18:01

But Allah subhanaw taala says to the women do not lower your tone

00:18:01 --> 00:18:05

and speak in that way so that in the Husky way, so that those who

00:18:05 --> 00:18:09

have modeled in their heart will desire.

00:18:11 --> 00:18:11

So now

00:18:13 --> 00:18:18

what is our state? Are we attracted to this kind of code?

00:18:18 --> 00:18:21

When somebody speaks like that? Does our heart have a desire?

00:18:23 --> 00:18:25

Can we keep our gazes away?

00:18:27 --> 00:18:28

Or do our gazes fail?

00:18:30 --> 00:18:33

Does our desire fail in that case?

00:18:34 --> 00:18:35

What does that mean then?

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

Of course, that means that there is more than the heart

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

there is a sickness in the heart there is an endless in his art.

00:18:45 --> 00:18:48

And only reason I'm mentioning this is not to just condemn

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

ourselves. But to

00:18:52 --> 00:18:54

when we when you have a realization, what is

00:18:56 --> 00:18:57

something's aching

00:18:58 --> 00:18:59

in your body.

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

And you heard of other people who've had that ache in that

00:19:04 --> 00:19:08

particular part of the body and it was supposed to be this particular

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

disease

00:19:10 --> 00:19:14

or critical disease or you know, something serious.

00:19:15 --> 00:19:15

But

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

you don't want to know because you know, it's gonna affect you.

00:19:21 --> 00:19:25

But it's good for you to know so that you can do try to cure it

00:19:25 --> 00:19:28

earlier. It's better to get it cured earlier.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:31

But what we do is we ignore it, we don't go to the doctor, we think

00:19:32 --> 00:19:35

oh, it'll go away. It's you know, whatever. But then once you find

00:19:35 --> 00:19:39

out and it's diagnosed or it gets worse and you find out then you

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

know you've got a problem then you suddenly become focused. Okay, let

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

me go let me do something about this.

00:19:47 --> 00:19:51

Somebody's going to the toilet quite often urinating quite a bit

00:19:51 --> 00:19:51

finding.

00:19:53 --> 00:19:55

Would you call it dryness in the mouth?

00:19:56 --> 00:20:00

So his friends tell him or that could be diarrhea.

00:20:00 --> 00:20:00

He says

00:20:01 --> 00:20:04

he doesn't want to know he doesn't want diabetes, he'd rather not

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

have it. Now, it's not a fact that you know, you don't want it. It's

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

the fact that whether you have it or not, the person doesn't go to

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

the doctor, then one day, it just gets worse. And he's losing his

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

weight now, right? Because that's what happens. And then he goes to

00:20:17 --> 00:20:20

the doctor and finds out Yes, it is. Diabetes, they run the test.

00:20:20 --> 00:20:24

Yes, you do have diabetes. Now, he generally people at this point now

00:20:24 --> 00:20:26

will start taking medicine focusing, they've accepted, they

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

have to accept it now.

00:20:29 --> 00:20:32

So this is not for self condemnation. This is just for

00:20:32 --> 00:20:36

diagnosis. This is the litmus test that if we have Thomet, in our

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

mind, if we have this desire in our mind,

00:20:41 --> 00:20:45

then that means we have a model, and we have to do something about

00:20:45 --> 00:20:45

it.

00:20:46 --> 00:20:48

So the point is, we have to do something about it. And the good

00:20:48 --> 00:20:51

news is that there are things that we can do about it. And this is

00:20:51 --> 00:20:54

exactly why we're on the path. So this is just a reminder for that

00:20:54 --> 00:20:55

fact.

00:20:57 --> 00:21:01

Because Allah subhanaw taala tells us what the Quran Minella feeling,

00:21:01 --> 00:21:02

to not be of the VA feeling

00:21:03 --> 00:21:08

that this theme runs through so many verses, they will have a

00:21:08 --> 00:21:10

feeling, this is why this happened. They will destroy it,

00:21:10 --> 00:21:13

because they will have it in they committed this because they were

00:21:13 --> 00:21:16

laughing. And Allah is saying do not become after laughing and

00:21:16 --> 00:21:20

laughing laugh laughter is negligence is the biggest problem

00:21:20 --> 00:21:24

that we have. So if we can't make a solid that is absent of hafla,

00:21:25 --> 00:21:29

then our state outside of solid is even more powerful. We have

00:21:30 --> 00:21:36

people get their windows cleaned, because they contain themselves.

00:21:36 --> 00:21:40

So they get a higher window cleaner. Because they can't do it

00:21:40 --> 00:21:40

themselves.

00:21:43 --> 00:21:47

Whatever is in the house, they keep it clean. Spend time cleaning

00:21:47 --> 00:21:51

the bathrooms and spend time cleaning the bedroom, making the

00:21:51 --> 00:21:56

beds, the kitchen, and so on and so forth. What we can't do

00:21:56 --> 00:21:59

ourself, we tell others to do we clean our car, we can't do it,

00:21:59 --> 00:22:04

take it to a car wash. So when we focus on these things, for the

00:22:04 --> 00:22:08

things that Allah has given us in our life that we use, than our

00:22:08 --> 00:22:10

heart is the most valuable thing that Allah subhanaw taala has

00:22:10 --> 00:22:13

given us because that is what's going to go into the hereafter.

00:22:13 --> 00:22:17

That is what's going to be a value later on. That is the most

00:22:17 --> 00:22:18

important thing.

00:22:19 --> 00:22:24

Allah subhanaw taala says in the livina taco either Masumoto if a

00:22:24 --> 00:22:28

min ash shaytani to the Kuru for either who Mopsy rune.

00:22:29 --> 00:22:32

And the benefit of remembering Allah subhanaw taala is that it

00:22:32 --> 00:22:36

will cut through the scuffle, it will cut through this

00:22:38 --> 00:22:42

what this verse says in Surah talara is that in the Latina Taco

00:22:43 --> 00:22:48

Bell, only those who have Taco who are God fearing either Mr. Home

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

Bar, if a minute shaped one thought if I'm going to shaytaan

00:22:51 --> 00:22:51

when

00:22:54 --> 00:22:55

an attack from Shaytaan comes.

00:22:57 --> 00:23:02

In other words, when they are touched by an attack or an

00:23:02 --> 00:23:06

influence of some sort from the Shaytaan, The Kuru.

00:23:07 --> 00:23:12

They become in the state of remembrance, they enter into the

00:23:12 --> 00:23:16

state of remembrance for evil who mops Iran, suddenly, they have

00:23:16 --> 00:23:17

basura

00:23:18 --> 00:23:22

suddenly, they have insight, and they're able to see. So the one

00:23:22 --> 00:23:26

thing that vicar will give us is that it will give us insights,

00:23:27 --> 00:23:32

perspective and focus, which if we don't have is why there are people

00:23:32 --> 00:23:37

who have it is the is the second level of ignorance, at least we

00:23:37 --> 00:23:40

will be saved from the second level the compound ignorance by

00:23:40 --> 00:23:43

realizing because we will become seeing so there is a benefit in

00:23:43 --> 00:23:45

vicar there is a benefit in vicar.

00:23:51 --> 00:23:53

The other man they

00:23:56 --> 00:23:59

because the focus in Islam is so much on the heart, everything

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

related to the mind and heart. It's been really studied

00:24:02 --> 00:24:02

thoroughly.

00:24:05 --> 00:24:11

So we have concept of Yaqeen conviction. And our iman is

00:24:11 --> 00:24:14

Yaqeen. The other word for Iman is your cane. What does the man mean?

00:24:15 --> 00:24:19

conviction, that's what it means. Your cane is the same thing. The

00:24:19 --> 00:24:22

stronger the yuckiness the stronger your iman is your teen is

00:24:22 --> 00:24:26

a generic concept in the sense that it means absolute conviction

00:24:26 --> 00:24:30

in anything whatever that may be. Eman of course, is conviction the

00:24:30 --> 00:24:34

same Yoky in in these tenets of faith Allah subhanaw taala the

00:24:34 --> 00:24:38

last day, you know the hereafter and so on and so forth. So that's

00:24:38 --> 00:24:42

the way Iman yaki relate to each other. But Eman is all your theme.

00:24:43 --> 00:24:47

Without your cane you can't have Iman, it's the main element of

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

iman. It's just about what do you have your keen on is what makes

00:24:50 --> 00:24:51

Iman what it is.

00:24:52 --> 00:24:57

So now you're keen as a concept conviction that relevant have

00:24:57 --> 00:24:59

explained three types of it, which you want

00:25:00 --> 00:25:02

Stand from the Quran directly. Because Allah subhanaw taala uses

00:25:02 --> 00:25:05

these terms. So for example, the best example of this is

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

you've come home from work,

00:25:09 --> 00:25:11

right? You've come home from work.

00:25:12 --> 00:25:15

And you've got a loving wife,

00:25:16 --> 00:25:18

who sees that you've come home from work after a long days of

00:25:18 --> 00:25:23

work. This example may not be understood, if you have to come

00:25:23 --> 00:25:27

home and make your own cup of tea, right? But if you've got a wife or

00:25:27 --> 00:25:30

somebody or a mother, for that matter, whoever it is, somebody

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

that comes near seen you come back from work, they say, Okay, let me

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

make a cup of tea for you seem so tired. Immediately, you know what

00:25:36 --> 00:25:41

t is, you know that it's hot. You know, you have an idea that it

00:25:41 --> 00:25:44

will do this for me, it will make me feel better the heat of it. So

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

you have what l, Malia T.

00:25:47 --> 00:25:49

You've got a conviction about it. But you've only got the knowledge

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

of the conviction that I know that T has this effect. So now you're

00:25:52 --> 00:25:53

looking forward to it.

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

Mashallah, as then she enters the room

00:25:57 --> 00:26:02

and the steaming cup of tea that's coming. What do you have,

00:26:02 --> 00:26:07

suddenly, you see it? Before it was just conceptual in your mind.

00:26:07 --> 00:26:10

Now you see it. So you get it nearly Akin,

00:26:12 --> 00:26:15

you get the vision of the arcane. So now it's higher level than just

00:26:15 --> 00:26:18

the first one is not just a knowledge of something, you

00:26:18 --> 00:26:23

suddenly developed the sight of it as well. You've just confirmed it

00:26:23 --> 00:26:28

with your sight. So it's just gone higher, more yoking. And then

00:26:28 --> 00:26:32

after that, you take it and you put it to your mouth. And you feel

00:26:32 --> 00:26:36

the heat of it. And you taste it. And there you get the qualia

00:26:36 --> 00:26:39

theme. Now you have the full experience of it. Now that is

00:26:39 --> 00:26:44

yuckiness is fully happy. Nobody can. No, nobody can deny to you

00:26:44 --> 00:26:48

that there's this hot tea, because you've just tasted it now.

00:26:51 --> 00:26:55

Where is our level of Eman? Is there a level Yaqeen? Clearly it

00:26:55 --> 00:27:00

is. Because we mean we believe we are active believers. So it's

00:27:00 --> 00:27:00

ultimately it

00:27:02 --> 00:27:06

is it is really again, and when is it going to become Hochuli. Okay?

00:27:07 --> 00:27:11

That is the that is what we need to get to to make it a personal

00:27:11 --> 00:27:12

experience.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:19

To strengthen this year clean, this is the most important thing

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

to strengthen this year clean.

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

Then when shaytaan attacks,

00:27:27 --> 00:27:30

we'll be able to deal with it much more easily.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:33

Right now we get into the ring and we gone.

00:27:34 --> 00:27:38

You know, sparring is very hard, it's not difficult, it's not easy.

00:27:39 --> 00:27:41

You can do an hour of exercise.

00:27:42 --> 00:27:46

But you go and do sparring for two minutes and you'll be knocked out

00:27:49 --> 00:27:53

of surprises. It's just it takes so much for the person to be to

00:27:53 --> 00:27:58

stay in the ring for three minutes requires huge amount of exercise.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:02

Believe me, I mean, I was like surprised. This is tough.

00:28:06 --> 00:28:10

Because they're, you're not just doing one repetitive action like

00:28:10 --> 00:28:16

you do in a in a sequence of exercise. You are on your guard,

00:28:17 --> 00:28:22

defending yourself, attacking your opponent moving around, see it's

00:28:22 --> 00:28:27

mental work, visual work. And of course your body has to have the

00:28:27 --> 00:28:28

stamina to do it.

00:28:29 --> 00:28:33

So now when it comes to our sparring with the shaytaan we've

00:28:33 --> 00:28:37

just made solid. What kind of training did we do in our salad

00:28:37 --> 00:28:41

that after solids, we can stand even for a minute in front of the

00:28:41 --> 00:28:41

sheet.

00:28:44 --> 00:28:46

We can't we get knocked out as soon as we come out of the

00:28:46 --> 00:28:46

machine.

00:28:48 --> 00:28:51

Something nice comes along and something that looks attractive

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

comes along we're knocked out already. What did our 10 minutes

00:28:55 --> 00:28:56

of Salah do for us.

00:28:59 --> 00:29:02

Whereas that 10 minutes, you know, to stay two minutes in during me

00:29:02 --> 00:29:07

it's a lot of efforts. It's a lot of effort, especially when we're

00:29:07 --> 00:29:08

unfit.

00:29:09 --> 00:29:11

That's why the promise of the Lord Islam said a Euro

00:29:15 --> 00:29:18

I'm not sure if this is a Hadith or if this is a waste statement.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:23

But Hi Roma wachira. Hi Roma, walkie Raphael Calbee Eliakim.

00:29:24 --> 00:29:26

The best of that which can be

00:29:28 --> 00:29:30

settled in the heart is your team.

00:29:32 --> 00:29:35

That conviction to that high level. And the reason why this is

00:29:35 --> 00:29:36

so important

00:29:37 --> 00:29:38

is because

00:29:40 --> 00:29:44

we worry about every part of our body. We worry about every part of

00:29:44 --> 00:29:47

our house, our cars and everything else that it's all clean. But the

00:29:47 --> 00:29:50

problem is that on the Day of Judgment, these are the two verses

00:29:50 --> 00:29:53

I want to quote yo Malay and Farrell Merlin when I've been on

00:29:53 --> 00:29:57

11 at Allah because I've been sitting on that day

00:29:59 --> 00:30:00

you

00:30:00 --> 00:30:02

wealth or your children will not be of benefit to you.

00:30:04 --> 00:30:07

Except the one who comes with a Colburn study

00:30:08 --> 00:30:14

comes with a heart that is sound and polluted. Allah subhanaw taala

00:30:14 --> 00:30:18

says and another verse Yomi aku, Yeoman Akula Jahannam the day we

00:30:18 --> 00:30:22

will say to the Hellfire Hallym talathi Have you been filled

00:30:24 --> 00:30:28

with a guru? Help me mozzie but it will continue to say is there more

00:30:28 --> 00:30:31

is there more is there more? What was the fatal agenda today

00:30:31 --> 00:30:35

talking, but at the same time while this is happening to the

00:30:35 --> 00:30:39

Jehanne dummies, that Janet will be brought close to the motor team

00:30:39 --> 00:30:44

Robert E. It will not be distant. However the two are doing what is

00:30:44 --> 00:30:48

being said to them is how they are doing. This is what you have been

00:30:48 --> 00:30:54

promised. liquidly a word in half youth. This is what has been

00:30:54 --> 00:30:58

promised for every verb and happy youth. Every person who used to

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

return to Allah subhanaw taala, who used to be constantly focused

00:31:00 --> 00:31:02

on Allah subhanaw taala

00:31:03 --> 00:31:07

who has particular Maharshi or Rama and I believe those who

00:31:07 --> 00:31:11

feared Allah subhanaw taala in absence, those who fear Allah

00:31:11 --> 00:31:16

subhanaw taala in absence will be called Muneeb. So in this case,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:20

it's called collarbone Muneeb Muneeb also means in our in our

00:31:20 --> 00:31:23

means to Raju illAllah. It means to to return to Allah subhanaw

00:31:23 --> 00:31:27

taala to become focused on Allah subhanaw taala to constantly. You

00:31:27 --> 00:31:31

see, I think the concept here is that it's very difficult to stay

00:31:31 --> 00:31:34

focused on Allah subhanaw taala you have these moments of

00:31:34 --> 00:31:41

negligence, but in OB Toba returned to Allah like every time

00:31:41 --> 00:31:45

your mind is going back to Allah if money is our biggest thing then

00:31:45 --> 00:31:49

our mind will constantly go back to money if wealth if health

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

whatever it is, it's where does our mind constantly go back to

00:31:52 --> 00:31:54

where does our inner harbor

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

where is our inner but you see, so it's called Boom money is the one

00:31:58 --> 00:32:03

I'll money Bill Allah that goes to Allah subhanaw taala so that is

00:32:03 --> 00:32:07

what's going to so the whole MCSA of this is to create a sauce

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

consciousness in our heart and if we can create that and if we can

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

have that more than we don't have it then then we are successful.

00:32:15 --> 00:32:17

And that's what we're trying to gain here. May Allah subhanaw

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

taala give us the tofu and Allahumma Salli ala see you know

00:32:20 --> 00:32:22

her mother is even more

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

00:33:53 --> 00:33:55

00:34:13 --> 00:34:14

Oh Allah.

We gather here on this day. Oh Allah have some

00:34:25 --> 00:34:26

Allah merely look at

00:34:27 --> 00:34:29

the external situation.

00:34:31 --> 00:34:35

Because we have nothing to offer to you from our hearts but just

00:34:35 --> 00:34:38

the fact that we're here sitting together for your sake, oh Allah

00:34:38 --> 00:34:42

accepted from us. Oh Allah, nobody's made this an obligation

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

for us. Nobody would say anything whether we were here or whether we

00:34:45 --> 00:34:46

did this about

00:34:49 --> 00:34:54

Accept our intentions, except our actions will accept our being

Since the vicar gathering

00:35:02 --> 00:35:05

will never be considered unfortunate, Oh Allah, this is our

00:35:05 --> 00:35:11

belief that this is our belief. This is why we do this. Or Allah,
