it's mentioned in some of the divine Scriptures that Allah

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

subhanaw taala says to the angels that describes the recording

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

angels that get on ketamine right now the deed of that servant of

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

Mine, but also write down where was his heart when he was doing

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

the deed. So don't just write that he prayed Salah to he gave sadaqa

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

or he helped people, or he managed a project welfare project or he

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

built a mosque, don't just write that, but also right where was his

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

heart, but angels have that facility to understand that. So

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

where was his heart when he was doing these things?

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

The reason for this, he says,

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

why you should write that is so he can take him then he can go and

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

take his reward from the one

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

in whose presence his heart was when he did the action.

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

hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam Whina say even more

00:01:03 --> 00:01:06

serene wa early, he will sahih your Baraka was seldom at the

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

Sleeman Cathedral on Iommi, Dean a Mother Earth

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

after completing the series on

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

the HELOC and the characteristics and the adab the etiquette from

00:01:17 --> 00:01:22

one brother to another brother. Now we're looking at the

00:01:23 --> 00:01:25

next main section of this book,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:29

which deals with

00:01:30 --> 00:01:36

the etiquette, the conduct, the mannerisms, the characteristics of

00:01:36 --> 00:01:40

the Olia of Allah, people who have made Allah subhanaw taala their

00:01:40 --> 00:01:44

priority generally. According to Imam shout on your watch, should

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

they a HELOC and character be? This has been his observation,

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

this is what he's going to be discussing. He has quite a few of

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

these adapt that he mentions here. What we're going to do in covering

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

this in the next several sessions in sha Allah, is that we're going

00:02:01 --> 00:02:06

to be selecting, we'll probably cover most of them. But we'll do a

00:02:06 --> 00:02:10

more selective reading. And a study of this as compared to the

00:02:10 --> 00:02:14

first section where we covered pretty much everything in that

00:02:14 --> 00:02:18

section. Some of the sections, they're very specific

00:02:19 --> 00:02:24

to people on a topic or a path, so may be very difficult for some of

00:02:24 --> 00:02:27

us to understand that. So we're going to do a bit of a selective

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

reading, though we'll still be covering most of it and there's

00:02:30 --> 00:02:34

huge benefits in all of this because it shows how people who

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

are focused on Allah subhanho wa Taala how they act with others,

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

because of their being absorbed in the love of Allah subhanaw taala

00:02:41 --> 00:02:45

how it changes their character and their behavior. So inshallah we

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

can really really learn a lot from this. Imam Shalini He starts by

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

this third chapter, he says and PHoslo third is the Vickrey shaman

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58

other below me, are the Allahu Donham. This is the third chapter

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

in we which we mentioned some of the other been the etiquette of

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

the comb, and he's defined co many times before which is that it's

00:03:06 --> 00:03:11

people who are seeking Allah subhanaw taala which should be all

00:03:11 --> 00:03:16

of us. Lm wa Falcone, Allah wa iAk Ilana your head N double ko me

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

Latin hustle.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

He starts off by saying that you should know this right from the

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

beginning that

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

the etiquettes of the Olia of Allah they cannot be enumerated

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

is no way to encompass all of them and record and list all of them.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

May Allah subhanho wa Taala give me and you the Tofik and the

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

divine enablement to whatever he is pleased with May Allah allow us

00:03:44 --> 00:03:48

to do deeds that He is pleased with the reason he says that they

00:03:48 --> 00:03:53

cannot be compiled together and brought together all of them they

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

merge you more or mirfield kita Mojo Murphy good to be either here

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

while we're in number we will authority Sahabi was Sylvia well I

can not go to like a che Amin other be him tuber rockin

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

wolferton Lil Bub Furner cool OB la Tofik. The reason is, he says

00:04:11 --> 00:04:12

because

00:04:13 --> 00:04:18

they are if you look at the other of the etiquettes of pious people,

00:04:19 --> 00:04:22

they are a combination and a collection of everything that you

00:04:22 --> 00:04:26

will find in the divine books, all of the good character that is

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

encouraged in the divine books in the Quran, and in the previous

00:04:30 --> 00:04:34

books as well that we know about and also what is understood in the

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

prophetic narrations in the Hadith. And also what you hear

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

from the sahaba. There are thorough narrations from the

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

Sahaba and from Sophia, which means and from the people of the

00:04:45 --> 00:04:46

past.

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

It's a collection of all of those things, so we can't combine and

00:04:51 --> 00:04:55

bring all of it together. However, we will mention to you some of the

00:04:55 --> 00:04:59

other we will list here some of the other tuber Ruka

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

to obtain some baraka and blessing as what you call double rock to

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

obtain some blessing and Wilford handle Bob and just to open the

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

door for you

00:05:09 --> 00:05:12

just to open the door for you so that you understand some of these

00:05:12 --> 00:05:17

and then after that inshallah The rest will be open to you and we

00:05:17 --> 00:05:22

begin and we ask and with Allah is all Tofik divine providence is

00:05:22 --> 00:05:26

from Allah subhana wa Tada firming other will come in other bill calm

00:05:26 --> 00:05:30

and your fear Rufiji me is Shuddha il Allah heeta Allah cobbler Jamil

00:05:30 --> 00:05:33

Hulk, first and foremost is that

00:05:34 --> 00:05:39

in any calamitous matter, whenever something afflicts them, anything

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

disastrous that takes place, anything painful that happens,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:46

they first run to Allah subhanaw taala before going to any of

00:05:46 --> 00:05:47

creation.

00:05:49 --> 00:05:54

So whenever anything that is difficult, confronts them, they

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

face some difficulty, their first port of call is to think about

00:05:57 --> 00:06:00

Allah subhanaw taala. The wonderful thing about Allah

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

subhanaw taala you don't have to do anything. You don't have to go

00:06:03 --> 00:06:07

to anybody's door, you don't have to come out of your house. You do

00:06:07 --> 00:06:10

not have to ring anybody. You don't have to pick up your phone,

00:06:10 --> 00:06:14

all you have to do is just turn your heart and your mind to Allah

00:06:14 --> 00:06:17

subhanho wa Taala and brighter. So this is the first most is supposed

00:06:17 --> 00:06:21

to be the most easiest thing yet. For some reason, it is the most

00:06:21 --> 00:06:22

difficult thing.

00:06:23 --> 00:06:26

It is the most difficult thing. But these are the people who've

00:06:27 --> 00:06:32

been able to take this facility and use it and thus, immediately

00:06:32 --> 00:06:35

they turned their attention to Allah before asking any of the

00:06:35 --> 00:06:38

creation of Allah, their enemy him idle cash for sure who the

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

unknowability heat about aquatera Mallacoota coalition, where the

00:06:42 --> 00:06:46

reason they can do this is because it has become completely clear to

00:06:46 --> 00:06:51

them. They have full knowledge based on unveiling and based on

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

witnessing meaning they have had experiences in their life based on

00:06:54 --> 00:06:57

the earth car that they have done, which has made it very clear for

00:06:57 --> 00:07:01

them that Allah is behind everything that the Maluku Maluku

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

means the sovereignty, the ownership, the power, the control

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

of everything is in the hands of Allah subhanaw taala. So if

00:07:08 --> 00:07:12

everything is controlled by Allah, why go to a secondary person, when

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

everything is then directly controlled by Allah anyway, so

00:07:15 --> 00:07:19

they've understood this based on full Yaqeen and witnessing. Now,

00:07:19 --> 00:07:23

this tells us one thing, that the only way you can get to this level

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

where you will think of Allah first in anything is if the heart

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

is prepared for that and the heart can only be prepared for that. If

00:07:31 --> 00:07:35

we've done enough vicar of Allah to de pollute and cleanse the

00:07:35 --> 00:07:38

hearts a pure heart will always think about Allah subhanho wa

00:07:38 --> 00:07:42

Taala first because he laughed at him as opposed to other people for

00:07:42 --> 00:07:46

in Bangla, Gerona, Illa, Illa, Burdell, Kofi other healthcare,

00:07:47 --> 00:07:53

other people, they will not resort to Allah, they will not turn to

00:07:53 --> 00:07:59

Allah until after they have stood by others of his creation, until

00:07:59 --> 00:08:02

they've exhausted all other possibilities. That's why one man

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

seen making dua as soon as his son died, not crying but composed and

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

talking to Allah subhanho wa taala. Somebody said, How come you

00:08:10 --> 00:08:13

can do this? He said, I'm doing what you will do after three days.

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

First, you will just cry well lose yourself, then after that you

00:08:18 --> 00:08:22

realize that nothing is going to happen. There's nothing that you

00:08:22 --> 00:08:25

can do, then you will turn to Allah subhanaw taala I'm turning

00:08:25 --> 00:08:27

to him right from the beginning. So these are people who are

00:08:27 --> 00:08:32

connected to Allah. And this just just as a clarification. It says

00:08:32 --> 00:08:35

they turn first to Allah. That doesn't mean that they don't ask

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

for help from people unnecessarily. That doesn't

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

necessarily mean that they don't ask for help from people, but

00:08:41 --> 00:08:45

their mind first and they do are their prayer, their hope, and

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

their reliance is first on Allah subhanaw taala even if they go and

00:08:48 --> 00:08:52

seek help from others afterwards, not after trying with everybody

00:08:52 --> 00:08:53

else, then you ask Allah

00:08:55 --> 00:08:59

so that's the first point he says is one of the first o'clock and

00:08:59 --> 00:09:04

characteristics of the people of Allah. That's why Allah says in

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

the Quran fulfill ru il Allah.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:13

So Pharaoh il Allah, in Nila caminhada de Roma been run, run,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:18

hasten. Rush to Allah subhana wa Tada Wamena Darby him the second

00:09:19 --> 00:09:22

point he makes here is Jimmy will ha see welcome will be halal Amel,

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

How their amerihome.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

Now this one, he says that another of their characteristics. The

00:09:46 --> 00:09:49

first one was about turning to Allah first. The second one is

00:09:49 --> 00:09:54

about a class. It says the characteristic is that they will

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

concentrate all their feelings, all of them

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

mind and consciousness of their hearts when doing an action for

00:10:05 --> 00:10:06

Allah subhanaw taala

00:10:07 --> 00:10:11

their mind and heart in any deed that they do is focused on Allah

00:10:11 --> 00:10:12

subhanaw taala.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:17

It's mentioned in some of the divine Scriptures that Allah

00:10:17 --> 00:10:22

subhanaw taala says to the angels that describes the recording

00:10:22 --> 00:10:27

angels, that Carolyn Catherine right now the deed of that servant

00:10:27 --> 00:10:32

of Mine, but also write down where was his heart when he was doing

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

the deed. So don't just write that he prayed Salah to he gave sadaqa

00:10:36 --> 00:10:42

or he helped people or he managed a project welfare project or he

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

built a milestone just write that, but also right where was his

00:10:45 --> 00:10:49

heart, but angels have that facility to understand that, so,

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

Where was his heart, when he was doing these things?

00:10:54 --> 00:10:56

The reason for this, he says,

00:10:57 --> 00:11:01

why you should write that is so he can take him then he can go and

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

take his reward from the one

00:11:05 --> 00:11:08

in whose presence his heart was when he did the action.

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

So if you write it down, then on the day of judgment, you can say

00:11:13 --> 00:11:17

look, you did it for this person or that person or these people or

00:11:17 --> 00:11:21

the whole world to see on TV or whatever it is gone as to your

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

reward from them. So all of this is recorded. So Allah subhanaw

00:11:25 --> 00:11:29

taala says in the Quran, Rama O'Meara rule. In earlier Abdullah

00:11:29 --> 00:11:33

meclizine Allahu Deen, the only command they were given is just do

00:11:33 --> 00:11:37

some worship for Allah alone. That's the command you have. That

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

is your responsibility. Just do your worship for Allah alone. When

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

you do a worship, do it for Allah alone. Don't don't do it for

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

anybody else. That's why Allah says the prophets of Allah Some

00:11:46 --> 00:11:50

said that Allah doesn't look at your deeds. He doesn't look at

00:11:50 --> 00:11:54

your wealth. He doesn't look at your outer action. Sorry, he

00:11:54 --> 00:11:57

doesn't look at your outer action and your forms. He looks at your

00:11:57 --> 00:12:01

action and your hearts action and your heart. Where is it?

00:12:03 --> 00:12:08

See the ideal house who's one of his teachers, he says that Kulu

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

Amman in La Mirada lab Doofy Hema rabita Allah for her kilometer

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

Wahhabi nissaki ashba. Any action that a person does in which the

00:12:18 --> 00:12:22

person is not present with his Lord, when doing that action when

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

he's not doing it for Allah. It's like a carcass. A dead animal.

00:12:26 --> 00:12:31

It's like a carcass. We're hoping nissaki ashba It's more resembling

00:12:31 --> 00:12:36

of the deed of hypocrites, because they do things only to show. So

00:12:36 --> 00:12:38

although this man is an A,

00:12:39 --> 00:12:43

this person isn't a premeditated monographic. He's not trying to

00:12:43 --> 00:12:48

hide his Deen. But his action is like that of the malefic. So

00:12:48 --> 00:12:53

although he is a true believer inside, he hasn't got his actions

00:12:53 --> 00:12:54

purified yet.

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

Well, that he clearly know who you are him on NASA and the Houma

00:12:58 --> 00:13:03

Hola, hola Moana jetty. Why Does it resemble NIFA. And hypocrisy is

00:13:03 --> 00:13:08

because he is giving the impression to people when he is

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

doing this worship, that he is with Allah.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:16

When he's doing this good deed, it is he is indicating to people that

00:13:16 --> 00:13:20

he is doing it for Allah. He is not saying I'm doing it for you

00:13:20 --> 00:13:25

people. His expressions show that he's doing it for Allah. But

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

inside, he's not. Because he hasn't focused on the inside. He's

00:13:29 --> 00:13:33

only focused on creating the outer action. He is not acted on

00:13:33 --> 00:13:38

purifying the inner focus. There are two deeds that we must do. So

00:13:38 --> 00:13:41

what we're learning today is that there are two actions within every

00:13:41 --> 00:13:46

action. There are two aspects. One is to do the external action,

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

which is the easy part. It seems even though that's very difficult

00:13:49 --> 00:13:53

for us, sometimes we think right, to do some good deeds outside. But

00:13:53 --> 00:13:56

that is the easy part in comparison to the second part,

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

which is to also focus with your heart when you're doing it. May

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

Allah give us that tofield so he's saying that because he is giving

00:14:04 --> 00:14:08

the impression to people that while he is seemingly engrossed in

00:14:08 --> 00:14:10

this intimate discourse with Allah subhanaw taala.

00:14:12 --> 00:14:17

He is in reality with the people in his mind and hearts, whereas

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

outwardly he's showing you that Israel Allah waka toileted

00:14:20 --> 00:14:25

Tahlequah, nasty hostility Mandelic. And this path to Allah

00:14:25 --> 00:14:28

is supposed to be short, if you could just have a class. In the

00:14:28 --> 00:14:32

few deeds that we do do that we have the Tofig to do that we just

00:14:32 --> 00:14:35

about managed to do. If we can have a class and sincerity in

00:14:35 --> 00:14:39

those, then the path to Allah is very easy. That's why some of the

00:14:39 --> 00:14:43

Sahaba were not known to do lengthy worships but because of

00:14:43 --> 00:14:46

the class that they had, they are able to get closer to Allah than

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

other people. And that's why he's saying the path to Allah has

00:14:49 --> 00:14:52

become long for people because they heedless about this inner

00:14:52 --> 00:14:53

dimension.

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

That's why it just We do so many acts sometimes and we don't feel

00:14:57 --> 00:15:00

ourselves closer to Allah because the law says Miss Miss

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

Sing

00:15:01 --> 00:15:05

for * rubella Imani annual Martin mooloolah, who, because of

00:15:05 --> 00:15:10

just their focus on the outer action, they become veiled of the

00:15:10 --> 00:15:14

person for whom the action should be done. Not the person but the

00:15:14 --> 00:15:15

being Allah.

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

They get so focused on the action to show it to people around them,

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

that they become veiled from who the action is supposed to be for.

00:15:23 --> 00:15:26

Well, oh, anomala Hello, Al Mamula, who, let's start over

00:15:26 --> 00:15:31

here, Anil Amel, if they became focused on the one for whom the

00:15:31 --> 00:15:36

action is being done for, then they would have not being so

00:15:36 --> 00:15:39

obsessed with showing the action to others.

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

A simple example of this, somebody said to me that he's got very

00:15:44 --> 00:15:49

good, he is learning how to is becoming more practicing. And

00:15:49 --> 00:15:53

because he's studying Arabic, and he's studying Tajweed. Now, when

00:15:53 --> 00:15:58

he goes to work, they generally put him forward. Because they've

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

discovered he has good the job. And when somebody else leads the

00:16:03 --> 00:16:08

prayer, because that that read is a bit corrupted, he feels inside,

00:16:08 --> 00:16:12

that He's superior to him. This is the person asking himself that he

00:16:12 --> 00:16:13

feels superior to this person.

00:16:14 --> 00:16:15

So

00:16:18 --> 00:16:20

what should he do? How does he deal with this, because this is

00:16:20 --> 00:16:23

obviously creating some kind of arrogance and show off in his

00:16:23 --> 00:16:26

mind, even though he's doing a good deed, and everybody's

00:16:26 --> 00:16:31

recognizing his good deed. So the response to that is very clear.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

When you're standing in front of Allah subhanaw taala, focus in

00:16:33 --> 00:16:37

front of you, to whom you're praying, if you've been given a

00:16:37 --> 00:16:41

good voice, don't focus on who's behind you. And what they may be

00:16:41 --> 00:16:44

saying. They can continue to say that they will say that whether

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

you have an intention for them to say that or not, if you've got a

00:16:47 --> 00:16:50

good voice, and you think you've got a good voice or a good

00:16:50 --> 00:16:53

recitation, then people are going to comment anyway. Because just by

00:16:53 --> 00:16:57

you having a good intention that I'm doing this for Allah only, it

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

will not stop people from praising you.

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

You're not doing it for that reason. But what I'm trying to say

00:17:02 --> 00:17:05

is that our focus should be in front of us and Allah, not on the

00:17:05 --> 00:17:06

people behind us.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

So when a person thinks that the number two the other thing to

00:17:11 --> 00:17:15

think about is that all what I've got today, by which I think I'm

00:17:15 --> 00:17:19

superior, it's all from Allah, He could have so easily have given it

00:17:19 --> 00:17:22

to the other person, and I would have been in his position.

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

You might say, Well, I was brought up in a religious household, I had

00:17:26 --> 00:17:29

good teachers, well, again, Allah placed you in that position. So

00:17:29 --> 00:17:33

you only owe it to Allah and nobody else. It's no nothing of

00:17:33 --> 00:17:37

yours, Allah gave you the trophy to work hard to be in that

00:17:37 --> 00:17:41

position, to be in that situation. So now thank Allah. And don't,

00:17:41 --> 00:17:47

that is the that is the way for a person to think, to cut through

00:17:48 --> 00:17:53

the misdirection of our intention, and to work on the heart. Wamena

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

be him.

00:17:55 --> 00:17:59

This is the second this is the third point, he says another one

00:17:59 --> 00:18:02

of the etiquettes is liar to want to be able to comment or hurlan

00:18:02 --> 00:18:06

Auto crib Aminul hada little ADA here. This one is a bit more

00:18:06 --> 00:18:10

complicated to understand. But what I'm going to do is

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

I'm going to just kind of explain the gist of what he's trying to

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

say. He's saying that whenever you do actions to Allah subhana wa

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

Tada. Now Allah mentions in the Quran, if you do this, this is the

00:18:22 --> 00:18:26

reward you will get. In the Hadith, you have so many

00:18:26 --> 00:18:29

generations that speak about, if you do these deeds, these are the

00:18:29 --> 00:18:32

rewards that you will get. Now

00:18:34 --> 00:18:38

for the people who are really advanced in this regard, they stop

00:18:38 --> 00:18:43

looking at reward. Specifically, they start focusing on something

00:18:43 --> 00:18:47

even higher than reward, then they start focusing on the pleasure of

00:18:47 --> 00:18:50

Allah that Allah must be happy with them, and that I am a good

00:18:50 --> 00:18:54

servant of Allah. Because as a servant of Allah, whether Allah

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

gives me a reward or not, it doesn't make a difference. Because

00:18:58 --> 00:19:01

I'm just a servant of Allah, I need to just do what my master

00:19:01 --> 00:19:05

tells me. If he gives me something at the end of it Alhamdulillah but

00:19:05 --> 00:19:08

I can't be doing the deed for that reward, I should be doing it for

00:19:08 --> 00:19:12

him alone. Now, this sometimes gets a bit complicated for people

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

to understand. But the way I explained it is this, you know, if

00:19:15 --> 00:19:20

you've got a child who you want, you want your children to succeed,

00:19:21 --> 00:19:24

you also want your children or you should also want your children to

00:19:24 --> 00:19:28

be sincere. Now let's just imagine they've started memorizing the

00:19:28 --> 00:19:32

Quran now to encourage them or they started learning Arabic

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

learning in the Quran or whatever. Now to encourage them. You tell

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

them if you finish this book, or you finish half of this book, then

00:19:39 --> 00:19:40

I'll give you I'll buy you

00:19:41 --> 00:19:46

I'll buy you a deal. You know, I'll buy you this game or a steak

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

place, whatever it is, right? And if you do this, then I'll get you

00:19:49 --> 00:19:52

the next one. And if you do this, then you finish the Quran then

00:19:52 --> 00:19:53

I'll buy you What's the next one?

00:19:55 --> 00:19:57

Whatever right so I'll buy you this that on the other you get an

00:19:57 --> 00:20:00

iPhone or an iPad or whatever. Now I

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

I used to think to myself that, but I'm teaching my children

00:20:03 --> 00:20:05

insincerity if I do that,

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

because they're going to do it for the sake of getting that next best

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

thing.

00:20:10 --> 00:20:14

Right. However, after reading up on some discussing with some

00:20:14 --> 00:20:18

people, what I what you realize is that, as human beings, very few

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

people, very few people, it's too much to ask all children to be

00:20:22 --> 00:20:24

sincere right from the beginning is very good. That's a special

00:20:24 --> 00:20:29

quality that Allah may give to some people, it's completely fine

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

to encourage people in the beginning, by giving them

00:20:33 --> 00:20:38

certain rewards, by giving them certain rewards, certain, you

00:20:38 --> 00:20:42

know, certain rewards of that matter. However, eventually, you

00:20:42 --> 00:20:45

will expect that as they get older and more mature, because now

00:20:45 --> 00:20:49

they'll be in the habit, because the reward should only be to get

00:20:49 --> 00:20:54

them into the habit of learning, of accomplishing something. Right?

00:20:54 --> 00:20:58

After that, eventually, they will learn if last class has to be

00:20:58 --> 00:21:02

learned. So it's completely fine to start off with giving them

00:21:02 --> 00:21:06

rewards, to encourage them in the beginning. Then as the Quran comes

00:21:06 --> 00:21:10

into their hearts, the baraka the blessing of that, and obviously

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

guidance, although that focus needs to be there, that we want to

00:21:13 --> 00:21:17

teach them in class eventually as well. So you can't, it's very

00:21:17 --> 00:21:19

difficult to teach somebody a class right from the beginning

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

without giving them merits without giving them gifts. So this is the

00:21:25 --> 00:21:30

opinion of the Olia of Allah of many of them, that you do not

00:21:30 --> 00:21:33

focus on the rewards or the punishment. You focus on pleasing

00:21:33 --> 00:21:37

Allah and being the slave of Allah, or Buddha at the highest

00:21:37 --> 00:21:41

level of Buddha, whether you get something out of it or not. That

00:21:41 --> 00:21:44

should be the whole focus. Based on all of that he is discussing

00:21:44 --> 00:21:47

this. It might sound very heavy and intense for some people that

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

what is he saying? We shouldn't do for this reward and that reward.

00:21:51 --> 00:21:54

Right? But I'm just saying that for the people of Allah, that

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

reward goes by the wayside afterwards, they just focus on

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

Allah subhanaw taala, which is, then you get the reward anyway.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:03

That's why he says here what I've done through Illa serbin from

00:22:03 --> 00:22:08

another ilithyia been fee I'm early he urgyen Oh ajilon Forgot

00:22:08 --> 00:22:12

halogen also an o safilo. Boo de la de la Vela Illawarra. Piazza

00:22:12 --> 00:22:13

Virgil.

00:22:14 --> 00:22:18

He's saying that anybody who focuses too much on the reward of

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

his deeds, whether for an advanced reward or later he will engender

00:22:23 --> 00:22:28

he is not then he's out of the characteristics of servitude of

00:22:28 --> 00:22:32

slavery. He's not a true slave them because he's doing it for

00:22:32 --> 00:22:37

perks for reward. It's another way of looking at it. And he says that

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

slave would

00:22:40 --> 00:22:43

the only reward for fleet slave hood is the pleasure of Allah

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

subhanaw taala that's what you want ultimately.

00:22:49 --> 00:22:50

The next one?

00:22:51 --> 00:22:55

Amina Derbi, him Dufty sha Allah, Allah Hirota well Beltaine at the

00:22:55 --> 00:23:00

Saba handwarmer son, I'll have you let her do the law he let he had

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

the ha ha oh tired that will help calm at BMO O'Meara to be mean all

00:23:05 --> 00:23:09

the labasa were heavily Lisa and will Odin well called Well, they

00:23:09 --> 00:23:12

did it kinda watch it a classy olam.com.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

The people of Allah, they are constantly vigilant, they do not

00:23:17 --> 00:23:22

rest. They do not reach a certain position and think that's it, I am

00:23:22 --> 00:23:25

completely safe now that I will could never commit a sin anymore.

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

It's only deluded people who think they are at such a level that now

00:23:30 --> 00:23:36

they can start putting themselves into places of fitna and be safe.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:42

That's why you see a lot of people the fake beard as they call them,

00:23:42 --> 00:23:44

that think they're at the level where they can now intermingle

00:23:44 --> 00:23:45

with,

00:23:46 --> 00:23:50

with women, for example, put their hands on the head, you know, and

00:23:50 --> 00:23:54

everything else and it's all safe and good and, and easy, that

00:23:54 --> 00:23:57

they're at a level where they are pure now fitna is open to

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

everybody except their prophets.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:05

So the real earlier of Allah, one of the other BS, they are

00:24:05 --> 00:24:12

constantly constantly invigilating their external limbs. What am I

00:24:12 --> 00:24:17

doing with my tongue, my eyes, my ears, my feet, my hands, my and

00:24:17 --> 00:24:22

everything about me, but also, how is my internal behaving? That

00:24:22 --> 00:24:25

means my heart and my mind, what kind of thoughts are going through

00:24:25 --> 00:24:29

my mind? Where is my heart? Do I have a greed for this? Do I have a

00:24:29 --> 00:24:34

lot of jealousy for someone? Do I have enmity? Do I have excessive

00:24:34 --> 00:24:37

anger they think about all of this morning and evening. They are

00:24:37 --> 00:24:44

asking their body parts external and internal faculties? Have they

00:24:44 --> 00:24:49

been mindful of the boundaries of Allah that Allah has set? Or have

00:24:49 --> 00:24:52

they transgress those boundaries? And have they gone beyond that?

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

Have they fulfilled what Allah wants from them in the morning and

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

in the evening, for example,

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

Keeping your gazes low guarding your tongue guarding the ears

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

protecting the heart from evil thoughts and anything else and

00:25:09 --> 00:25:13

doing all of this with a plus the person is constantly thinking

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

about this checking himself out when was the last time we check

00:25:17 --> 00:25:17

these things out?

00:25:18 --> 00:25:20

This is a constant

00:25:21 --> 00:25:22

a constant thought

00:25:23 --> 00:25:28

for interrupt Oh God had a min Jhaveri him a third chakra Allah

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

Tala one Amuro Newsam Allah Nevada.

00:25:32 --> 00:25:36

Now if they do find Alhamdulillah that yes, I have kept my gazes

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

low. I didn't listen to anything haram. I did not swear I did not

00:25:41 --> 00:25:45

curse. I did not say anything bad. If they find that their limbs have

00:25:45 --> 00:25:50

been obedient, the internal heart and mind has also been obedient,

00:25:50 --> 00:25:53

then they will thank Allah. The reason they thank Allah is because

00:25:53 --> 00:25:58

this can only come from Allah. Now they think Allah, they thank Allah

00:25:58 --> 00:26:03

without thinking that they have the ability to thank him enough

00:26:03 --> 00:26:07

for what He has given them. So even their thanks, or shortcomings

00:26:07 --> 00:26:12

they think, because to thank Allah for the foot he has given us like

00:26:12 --> 00:26:13

him, I thought he Allah, He says that

00:26:16 --> 00:26:18

you hope for reward for your deed?

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

Isn't the reward, the fact that he even allowed you to do the deed in

00:26:24 --> 00:26:28

the first place? Isn't that just an honor on its own, and the

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

greatest of the honor that he chose you for that deed, maybe

00:26:32 --> 00:26:34

other people didn't do the deed.

00:26:35 --> 00:26:37

So when you start looking at it from Allah's perspective, and not

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

from our selfish perspective, then you get the real picture of what

00:26:40 --> 00:26:44

Allah wants. And the wisest person in the world is the one who can.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:48

second guess the people who can who has a good understanding of

00:26:48 --> 00:26:53

the people is dealing with anybody who lives in their own world, and

00:26:53 --> 00:26:56

doesn't understand where the other person is coming from. They lose

00:26:56 --> 00:27:00

out badly, because they become selfish. They become selfish

00:27:00 --> 00:27:04

individuals that don't understand what the other person wants, and

00:27:04 --> 00:27:08

they don't know how to live this life. So the best of the people in

00:27:08 --> 00:27:11

terms of management of this world is the one who can place himself

00:27:11 --> 00:27:15

in the mind of someone else. What does he want from me? How can I

00:27:15 --> 00:27:16

successfully

00:27:18 --> 00:27:21

achieve this from this person or resolve this with this person?

00:27:21 --> 00:27:25

Likewise, Allah subhanaw taala the most successful person with Allah

00:27:25 --> 00:27:28

is the One who has recognized Allah what He wants, not what I

00:27:29 --> 00:27:30

think I can do.

00:27:31 --> 00:27:37

So then he says, if we're in Rohan Tala, the hot mushy middle mousy,

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

or Hello Phil is still far You will know them somebody ash,

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

Quran, Allah Kerala. If this person then sees that some of his

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

body parts his limbs, and internal faculties have polluted themselves

00:27:49 --> 00:27:54

with disobedience. Then immediately he will do is still

00:27:54 --> 00:27:58

far and he will repent, he will feel remorseful. Then after that,

00:27:58 --> 00:27:59

he will thank Allah again.

00:28:00 --> 00:28:03

In the first one, he thanks Allah for doing the good deeds. In this

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

one he thinks Allah

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

for the following reasons number one that he's gay, he gave him the

00:28:10 --> 00:28:14

ability to do so far and be remorseful. Number two, is Allah

00:28:14 --> 00:28:17

knew at the rally him Ackerman telecoil Marcia,

00:28:18 --> 00:28:21

he will thank Allah that He Allah didn't put on him some greater

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

disobedience than the one he already did.

00:28:25 --> 00:28:30

Like he looked at something haram he will thank Allah that I seek

00:28:30 --> 00:28:32

forgiveness for this but I also think Allah that I didn't actually

00:28:32 --> 00:28:34

commit Zina itself

00:28:36 --> 00:28:40

while I'm Yep, well, what am you up to the Djawadi home ality

00:28:40 --> 00:28:45

asset, Hala is Jana, you will also thank Allah, that Allah didn't

00:28:45 --> 00:28:50

inflict a calamity on that body parts, which was involved in that

00:28:50 --> 00:28:55

disobedience. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just for Allah, that every

00:28:55 --> 00:28:58

time we did something wrong with our tongue, the heat afflict our

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

tongue with something, everything we do something with our hand,

00:29:00 --> 00:29:04

something happens to the hand, as it was in previous nations, in

00:29:04 --> 00:29:08

some cases in not exactly the same, but the if that was the

00:29:08 --> 00:29:13

case, so all thanks to Allah that he didn't do that, for in a cooler

00:29:13 --> 00:29:17

out or doing for in a cooler roadway. NASA is the haka. Newsela

00:29:17 --> 00:29:24

Bella Ebihara is Jonnie because any limb that disobeys it deserves

00:29:24 --> 00:29:30

to be affected when it is being disobedient. And Allah's clemency

00:29:30 --> 00:29:33

if you think about Allah's clemency of what he still

00:29:33 --> 00:29:35

continues to do for us.

00:29:36 --> 00:29:41

Despite our disobedience says, then you understand what kind of

00:29:41 --> 00:29:43

forbearance Allah and patients Allah has.

00:29:45 --> 00:29:49

Well, me neither be him, lawyer Faloona and Dufty she bow to him.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:54

The second one focuses more on the inner dimension by saying that

00:29:54 --> 00:29:59

these people are never negligent of worrying and inspecting the

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

inner

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

itself.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:07

Because final halacha Radhiya Kameena fill out a bad

00:30:07 --> 00:30:11

characteristics bad behavior is sometimes hidden is most of the

00:30:11 --> 00:30:13

time hidden in the heart, you can't see it.

00:30:15 --> 00:30:18

Greed? How do you determine your greed? you justify to yourself?

00:30:18 --> 00:30:21

How does a person determined that I'm a show off or not?

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

How does a person determine that they're doing something not really

00:30:26 --> 00:30:31

for Allah? Because it's so difficult to cut through the

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

confusion in our minds, because we love ourselves so much. Have you

00:30:34 --> 00:30:37

ever seen somebody who loves something? Will they be able to

00:30:37 --> 00:30:41

ever see the defect in that thing? You can't even bring this topic up

00:30:41 --> 00:30:44

to somebody like that. Somebody who loves their car so when you

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

say no, no, they will fight to the nail with you to try to prove that

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

it's perfect. Now we love ourselves. And the only way we'll

00:30:54 --> 00:30:57

see the defects of ourselves if we still start loving Allah more,

00:30:58 --> 00:31:01

then we will give ourselves up for Allah then figure ourselves out.

00:31:01 --> 00:31:05

Otherwise until we love ourselves more than anything else, we'll

00:31:05 --> 00:31:06

never be able to understand ourselves.

00:31:09 --> 00:31:12

So that's why he says that these people they are never negligent of

00:31:12 --> 00:31:18

inspecting the inside. Because bad characteristics are generally

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

hidden within a person. Well met aluminum foil FOCA, either Tanaka

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

rueful, Mark McCormack Ghana, wilco oval Mausi, Allahu La Madhu,

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

Manhart even forgot who I had the homebuilding where you insert of

00:31:29 --> 00:31:32

tissue belt in he will walk you through an anthology the alila

00:31:32 --> 00:31:35

Irrfan. Well on one o'clock, Aradia Zara tan who forgot where

00:31:35 --> 00:31:36

him

00:31:38 --> 00:31:42

he is saying that you know the person. Now he's not talking about

00:31:42 --> 00:31:44

normal people, he's talking about the person who's concerned about

00:31:44 --> 00:31:49

Allah who's concerned about doing sins. So generally says that the

00:31:49 --> 00:31:55

people who have been able to stop committing external sins.

00:31:57 --> 00:32:01

Right, the people who stopped committing external sins, and they

00:32:01 --> 00:32:03

are rising up in that regard.

00:32:06 --> 00:32:10

They will generally be falling into internal since the reason is

00:32:10 --> 00:32:13

that they're way more difficult because look, a person who commits

00:32:13 --> 00:32:17

an external sin like swearing at somebody it's easy, you know,

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

you've done wrong hitting somebody you know, you've done wrong so you

00:32:20 --> 00:32:23

can abstain from that, looking at something haram you know, you've

00:32:23 --> 00:32:28

done wrong. So you can abstain from that external sins are easier

00:32:28 --> 00:32:35

to avoid, than the internal sins of having noiseless greed, showing

00:32:35 --> 00:32:39

off ostentation and so on. So generally people even those people

00:32:39 --> 00:32:43

who are trying and who've purified the outside,

00:32:46 --> 00:32:53

they will fall into this. And in some cases, they will forget to

00:32:53 --> 00:32:58

think about the inside as much. So then what happens is they

00:32:59 --> 00:33:01

they don't get higher.

00:33:03 --> 00:33:06

This is a level below the level of the people who have truly

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

recognized Allah,

00:33:09 --> 00:33:11

the people who have also purified the insight.

00:33:12 --> 00:33:16

Anybody he says, who thinks that the inner

00:33:18 --> 00:33:24

despicable traits have been totally gone and eradicated and

00:33:24 --> 00:33:29

will never come back? Then that person is in delusion. And then he

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

explains the reason he says, Allah says, well, may you kushwaha

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

Enough, see he for hula Iike homall Mosley one, the one who has

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

been

00:33:39 --> 00:33:45

protected from the extreme evil of sorry, the extreme greed of his

00:33:45 --> 00:33:49

knifes, then these are the people who are successful. It doesn't

00:33:49 --> 00:33:54

say, he says, Follow me or cool woman yourself Shahana FC, it

00:33:54 --> 00:33:58

doesn't mention whoever eradicates the greed of his heart says

00:33:58 --> 00:34:02

whoever has been protected from it, not who's eradicated it, like

00:34:02 --> 00:34:06

cut it from its roots and thrown it out? No, whoever has been

00:34:06 --> 00:34:11

protected, is become covered and concealed by Allah and taken on by

00:34:11 --> 00:34:16

UPCA Shafia. Whereas the reality is that the greed will remain in

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

Him in law and the lab you Affilorama will be 30 could be in

00:34:19 --> 00:34:25

it light, except that the servant by the attention of Allah special

00:34:25 --> 00:34:28

attention of Allah he'll be given the ability to do his good deeds,

00:34:28 --> 00:34:33

while blocking the effects of that bad deeds. The effect for example,

00:34:33 --> 00:34:37

we know in ourselves, there is certain bacteria, bacteria, there

00:34:37 --> 00:34:38

are certain

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

cells and other things in our heart, which if they get exposure

00:34:42 --> 00:34:45

to the wrong kind of elements, then they could become cancerous.

00:34:46 --> 00:34:52

They could become diseased, they could become toxic. However, as

00:34:52 --> 00:34:55

long as that's not there, it's fine. They inside our body, there

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

are certain chemicals within our body, which if you have too much

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

of will be bad.

00:35:00 --> 00:35:02

are a small amount, it's fine. There's many things of that

00:35:02 --> 00:35:06

nature. So likewise here, we've been given all of these things as

00:35:06 --> 00:35:11

a challenge to deal with. And our challenge is to tone these things

00:35:11 --> 00:35:13

down with the help of Allah subhanaw taala

00:35:14 --> 00:35:18

that's what he's saying. So he thinks that if anybody becomes

00:35:18 --> 00:35:23

secure but off thinking that now I have no problem inside and I am

00:35:23 --> 00:35:29

completely safe and I don't have to work hard anymore. Then they're

00:35:29 --> 00:35:33

in trouble this world is to work. It's only gender that you can

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

relax.

00:35:36 --> 00:35:39

Women columnist Sheikh Abdullah deen and Allah Hytera la caja

00:35:39 --> 00:35:43

Allah 15 until the me in Assam era of the demon Jimmy il fi Jamil

00:35:43 --> 00:35:45

o'clock will hammy that he was the Mima.

00:35:46 --> 00:35:51

He's relating from one of his friends of his who he is a he

00:35:51 --> 00:35:53

addresses in a respectful way is the shape of the routine.

00:35:54 --> 00:35:58

He used to say that Allah subhanaw taala has placed in the

00:35:58 --> 00:36:03

composition of the of the Adamic race of the human being in his

00:36:03 --> 00:36:07

composition in his essential composition. Allah has put all of

00:36:07 --> 00:36:10

the opposites in there, of all of the good and bad characters.

00:36:10 --> 00:36:14

You'll have the you know, generosity, you will also have

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

some miserliness

00:36:16 --> 00:36:21

you will have love, you'll have hatred. You will have greed and

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

you'll have satisfaction. So you will have the opposites of

00:36:23 --> 00:36:27

everything inside in different amounts to shatter it over to her

00:36:27 --> 00:36:32

rib fifth Avati him. Well, I can muda Mattila Anya, Tara Burnie at

00:36:32 --> 00:36:33

the half full lab.

00:36:35 --> 00:36:39

For Jimmy will o'clock with me Muhammad Mata Atilla,

00:36:40 --> 00:36:45

he says so you will find all of these things inside but as long as

00:36:46 --> 00:36:50

Allah has the you have the divine lordly

00:36:54 --> 00:36:59

attention from Allah subhanaw taala surrounding the servant then

00:36:59 --> 00:37:05

all of the bad characters will remain subdued. And what's the

00:37:05 --> 00:37:06

word for it?

00:37:07 --> 00:37:12

Passive they won't be active. They'll be passive redundant

00:37:14 --> 00:37:18

for either Talofa tan hola Anya. But if Allah's attention moves

00:37:18 --> 00:37:18

away

00:37:19 --> 00:37:24

the hierarchy hola hola Ko, the Mima. Lil is their man, then these

00:37:24 --> 00:37:28

bad character traits will start making a move, they will start to

00:37:28 --> 00:37:31

become active, they will be activated

00:37:32 --> 00:37:36

for the person to use them will humble that a HELOC will hustler

00:37:36 --> 00:37:39

and then his good deeds will become subdued.

00:37:40 --> 00:37:44

So Melissa, now he says that although this is in the human

00:37:44 --> 00:37:50

being, but one has to remember this, and the three little MBR amo

00:37:50 --> 00:37:53

salatu salam Kitahara Allah whom inside rather it will be Serbia

00:37:53 --> 00:37:57

tiller. Ina, faff hum, why IACA will have a lot. He says, one

00:37:57 --> 00:37:58

thing that shouldn't be

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

concealed from you is that when you look at the makeup and the

00:38:04 --> 00:38:08

composition of the Prophets, peace be upon them peace and blessings

00:38:08 --> 00:38:13

be upon them. Allah purified them from all of these lowly traits

00:38:13 --> 00:38:18

within Advanced attention from before, so make sure that you

00:38:18 --> 00:38:23

don't start thinking that you don't fall into this into this era

00:38:23 --> 00:38:26

of judging the prophets also in the same way, the prophets have a

00:38:26 --> 00:38:31

special attention for that. I think we'll stop here for today.

00:38:32 --> 00:38:35

May Allah subhanaw taala give us an understanding of these

00:38:35 --> 00:38:39

characteristics. Allah allow us to think about ourselves in this

00:38:39 --> 00:38:43

regard, and to benefit ourselves from this and improve ourselves

00:38:43 --> 00:38:46

through this. May Allah bless the author. May Allah bless the

00:38:46 --> 00:38:50

author, for all the great work that he's done, and these great

00:38:50 --> 00:38:53

words that he has written while through the Dharma annual

00:38:53 --> 00:38:54

Hamdulillah.

00:38:58 --> 00:39:02

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

00:39:02 --> 00:39:07

further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The

00:39:07 --> 00:39:11

next step is to actually start learning seriously to read books

00:39:11 --> 00:39:15

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

00:39:15 --> 00:39:18

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

00:39:18 --> 00:39:22

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

00:39:22 --> 00:39:28

courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand

00:39:28 --> 00:39:30

whenever you have free time, especially for example, the

00:39:31 --> 00:39:35

Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials

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

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

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

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

00:39:44 --> 00:39:48

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

00:39:48 --> 00:39:50

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

00:39:50 --> 00:39:53

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

00:39:53 --> 00:39:56

sustained study as well. JazakAllah Herons, salaam aleikum

00:39:56 --> 00:39:57

wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
