Smilla Rahmanir Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu
salam ala UD mursaleen while he or Safi HMR in Amma
in order to benefit from what is demanded of us by Allah subhanho
wa Taala
through the Quran and the Sunnah, one of the easiest ways to do that
is to see how somebody else embodied those guidances from the
Quran and Sunnah.
And especially those people who many centuries of people have
testified regarding them, that they were people who were on the
correct path, who went from this world in a way that is considered
to be safe, and sha Allah successful.
And as Allah Subhana Allah as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam has said that you are
sometimes the Rasul Allah Islam has actually said that you are the
witnesses in the world. So if people consider somebody to be
good,
then we can expect in all goodwill that that person is good. So
today, we look at the life of somebody briefly, just some
aspects of their life. It's not an entire Biography at all. It's just
some aspects of their life, some prominent aspects of their life
that relate to their connection with Allah subhanho wa taala,
their understanding of this world
and how maybe we can benefit from it because when we see those same
things in action in the life of somebody else, it becomes a bit
more personal for us. So we're looking at Imam Shafi today Rahima
hula who has made everybody knows him. And he was only 54 or so when
he passed away. So at a very young age, he passes away but leaves a
massive legacy and huge respects. And people honor him. And he has
essentially paved the path for many people for which he is being
rewarded, even though he's departed this world.
So Imam Shafi in terms of his worship, what was it that gave him
such such success? How was his worship? How was his connection to
the world? How was his connection to other people? So we're just
going to look at a few things like that. Firstly, his worship. Imam
Shafi, it's related that he used to split his night into three
sections. His day was already occupied, but his night was split
into three sections. One of them was for his studies, one was that
one of them was for was for knowledge, studying, researching,
writing, and so on. Another third was for worship. And the third
portion, or a third portion portion was for sleeping.
So he used to sleep. But it's very, it's not difficult to do
this. If you've got a split if you if you know what you want.
If you know what you want.
It's not difficult to do this. You have to have a commitment though.
And you have to have discipline, and you have to have a drive.
When Robbie was one of the close people to him, says that Imam
Shafi Rahim Allah used to complete the Quran in Ramadan 60 times. And
all of that was actually in prayer as well.
So it wasn't just reading relaxed on a sofa, or in a chair or lying
down. But he is to actually complete it in prayer. Six times
that's average two times a day
in Ramadan, I mean, generally, you're told not to complete the
Quran too fast. But in Ramadan, it's an exception because it's the
month of the Quran.
him his own self in terms of his connection to the world and how
much he took off the world or how he treated the world. He says
Marsh a bit too soon to sit there I shot the Senate and 16 years has
it been that I've not full, I've not filled my stomach. Like I've
not eaten to my fill I've eaten, but not to my fill. I've never
stuffed my stomach. Or I've never eaten fully to be fully satiated.
I slowly stopped before I feel satiated. He says because to be
satiated, which means to eat fully. It burdens the body. It
makes the body heavy. It hardens the heart. It takes away your
sharpness of your mind. And he needs that because he's a scholar.
And it brings on sleep.
And of course on top of all of that it weakens you in terms of
worship.
And then he used to say that anybody who claims that they can
combine between the love of the world and the love of the Creator
in the heart and have both of those loves love existing side by
side
And then basically, he's
invented a major lie against Allah subhanaw taala. Because you you
have to have one or the other. Well, you have to have more of one
than the other.
And one pushes out the other one eventually.
When he came to Makkah Mercado, Rama, he came, and he had 1000
dinars with him, which is a lot of money.
So this is in terms of his generosity, the people who have to
work on Allah subhanaw taala, their generosity increases because
they're not worried about becoming poor. So he came with 1000 dinars.
And just outside of Makkah on the path he that's where he put his
tent up those days, you could just do that nowadays. I don't think
they'll let you do that. And he put a tent up, laid out a cloth,
put all the dinars on there. And then everybody that was going past
that would come to visit. He would basically grab a handful, and he
would give it to them until the whole time.
And everything on that was finished by that time.
And then he said, Yeah, Colby Allah Merlin adju Dooby al Mookie
Lena mean ninomaru RT in narrativity Isla mangia is a loony
Malisa in the lemon, lemon, del musi. But
he wasn't just giving to anybody wealthy and so on. He was just for
the poor people really? Right. And people would know that, okay,
there's somebody here he's giving out because that's kind of the
thing they would probably do. So he said, he talks about his heart
and he says,
upon wealth that I want to be generous with upon those who have
little from among those people who are people of chivalry and
decency. It says my Then excuse to the one who comes to me to ask for
something that I don't have. That is considered to be one of the
greatest calamities for me that I don't have something to give
someone when they come to ask me for it. That's a big masiva
there's some things that are well known about him. He was one once
asked about a question about a masala about an issue. So he was
silent for a while. So then somebody said to him, so the
person said to him, I'd had to Gee Brahim, Allah. May Allah have
mercy on you and you're gonna give an answer.
You know, somebody comes to you to ask you a question. You're just
thinking for a while. So he says, yes. Hatta addley. Alfred Luffy,
Zuccotti ofii jawai.
I'm just wondering, I'm just thinking, contemplating whether
there is more benefit in me responding or in me staying
silent. Because sometimes somebody will come and ask you, and they
could get you into trouble. Or they could misuse what you say. So
he's wondering, like, is it beneficial for me to answer?
Or do I know what do I know the answer so that I could answer, we
learn from this, we learn from this or we could also do this,
you're not forced to respond every time somebody asks you a question.
The way the media works today is that you need to have an opinion
on everything. So they asked you the question. And if you say, I
don't know that sounds a bit weird. You're supposed to have an
opinion. You're not supposed to have you don't have to have an
opinion. I can remain ignorant if I want. There's not certainly
nothing wrong with that.
Many times somebody asks you about a recent world event and you
because you've been busy doing other things teaching and other
things, you haven't had time to look at the news. So they wonder
like what's wrong with you? Aren't you like in touch, but you are
generally in touch, but you can't always be in touch. Come on, you
need to have time to yourself, sometimes you don't need to be
abreast of the news
all the time.
So if you're in an area, and here's another great ahead of his
time. So once he's giving a lecture, or he's there, and he
mentioned the Hadith with about one of the heart rending topics,
the Raka, because they call it Imam Shafi is sitting there, he's
a Mahadev himself, and he's sitting there. When he heard this
hadith, he he he fainted. It was just like too much for him.
Sometimes people are in a state, and then if they hear something,
it just increases the hope that they have. If they heard it
another time, they may it's not like this hadith makes you faint.
Everybody. I just want to put that in perspective. You might think
this is a bit of an exaggeration. He doesn't have to think every
time he hears the Hadith but sometimes you're in a state of
fear with Allah subhanaw taala are something else and somebody just
says the right thing and it makes you cry. But if you saw that
another time, you won't make you cry.
But you have to have that state sometimes at least right? So if
you're somebody who said to Sophia, you know Imam Shafi has
passed away he didn't pass it was just fainted. So then Sophia
answered, Rahim, Allah He said that if he passed away then it
means
it means that the greatest person of his time has passed away.
Meaning he's such a great person.
Once he's in Macomb Corolla
and on suffer he hears
heard him Nola beat reciting the following verse have yo moolah
goon Wallah you the Nullah whom fire I tell the rune now lobbied
hard hitting the beat was a person with a very good voice.
And as soon as Imam Shafi heard this, this is talking about their
judgment, how long would it take on this day when they will not be
speaking, and they will not be given permission to even make an
excuse.
That's that serious. So Imam Shafi Rahim Allah when he heard this is
color changed. His skin is standing on his hair standing on
end, and he's in great turmoil. And finally he fainted again.
When he came back to consciousness, that's when he said
are all below him in McConville, Cathy been wearing raw, they'll
have Helene Allahu molucca hada at Google Ad ifIm was a lot luckier
recall recallable Mustafa keen, Allah He Hubley, Judaic what Jalil
ni B citric work for undock CD become yogic which basically means
that I seek refuge in Allah from such a state of the caffeine of
the false people.
And that the turning away and the heedlessness of the heedless, oh
Allah
for you, the hearts of your nose succumb to you succumb. And the
necks of those who desire you. They are humble in front of you,
oh my Lord, grant me your generosity grant me from your
generosity. And cover me with your veil.
And pardon all my shortcomings
by the honor of by the benevolence of Your countenance. So this is
after his effects. You know, when you listen to the Quran, it
affects you, it should touch you, it should affect you. And this is
what's happening here. It's very well known about his relationship
with others, because remember, he's a scholar. So there's a lot
of debates going on. And he's a scholar who's got original
contribution because he's the head of a mother. And people have found
that to be useful and they follow them and yet students so clearly
what he's going to be saying is a lot of original contribution and
when you have original contribution you're going to be
challenged. Now this is his other than his ethical when dealing with
people that he is debating with or discussing with this is the I
learned a lot from this myself, I can't fully do it. But I've
learned a lot. And I think this is really beneficial. And if we could
really do this fully, we'd have a lot less problems in the world. He
says that always I've I've always loved and hope that it's people
will benefit from my knowledge I want people to benefit from my
knowledge I get rewarded for it right? So I want people to benefit
from what I say and what I do and what I teach but what my Lucy by
Alicia human, but that nothing be attributed to me.
So the knowledge somehow reaches them and they benefit from it. So
I'm propagating I'm delivering the knowledge but that it doesn't come
back to me so it's not about me but it's about the knowledge
only somebody who really knows what they want can think like that
and say something like that.
Then he also says McCollum to I hadn't cut to Bob to a new OFAC.
Every time I've spoken to somebody, my in my my desire has
always been that they be divinely enabled to understand the right
thing
where you said that while you're on and that they say the right
thing they assisted were Coonawarra hidayah to mean Allah
who were HIV and that Allah protect them.
What that basically means is that, okay, I could be wrong, but I
don't want them to be wrong. I want them to get it right. Do you
know why that's better? Because if they get it right, I'm willing to
accept it. So that means two people, right? If I get it right,
and they don't, then that's one less person who's got it right.
It's easier for me to change myself and get get it that he's
got it right. So let me get it right as well.
Can you see what the how far he's thinking? He's always thinking for
a greater cause as opposed to for myself.
Then he says man Arvato hadn't caught too far back to a new.
I've never debated anybody and hope that they would make the
mistake and they would be the wrong and I would beat them.
My intention would always be that the Huck is pronounced on their
tongue. Because that makes it simple for all of us.
And that's why his own content
Freeze had great praise for him even though he was probably so
young because he died at the age of 54. So he must have been very
young when a lot of people said these things. Now you have to
remember that his student is Imam Ahmed even though humble
Imam Muhammad even a humble student.
Imam Muhammad in new humble says about his teacher, Imam Shafi
marsali to sala de mundo Arbaeen. Asana, Illawarra and other Oh,
Alicia Fay 40 years I've been every prayer I make every prayer
that I've made for 40 years, I've prayed for Shafi. I made dua for
him.
And this is not difficult.
You know, he's making it for his teacher, I'm going to request us
to make it for our teachers, everybody we've benefited from but
above all our parents.
And let's do this. And all you have to do is something very
simple. After every prayer that you make five times a day, you
just have to fit it in somehow and make it a habit that okay, when
I'm getting up from my last prayer, or when I'm going home
from the masjid or whatever, just three times cool. Whoa, Allahu
Ahad will probably take a minute to do that. That's it, how long
does it take to recover load quickly? Right? All it takes is
probably a minute, minute and a half and you send the reward of
that to all your teachers and your parents. And you will be surprised
that within a few weeks how many rewards that you would have sent
and that's the only way you're going to pay back anybody and if
you do that maybe Allah will have somebody do that for you, Brother
You can sit here
Do you see what I'm saying? It's so easy. It's a massive deed and
it's so easy but you know we and it's not it's not difficult to do
this if you make it a point of habit as soon as you finish your
prayer or whatever call to Allah Who are three times along with
your other Afghan and say okay, give this reward to my parents and
my teachers Subhanallah
let's see if we can get that in line in, in practice inshallah.
So for 40 years, he says that I always pray for Imam Shafi in
every prayer.
And when his son found that his father's always making dua for
this Imam Shafi says, What kind of a personal Shafi Who is this guy
you've made so much to offer him? So Imam Muhammad said Dr. Boonie,
my son Girnar sheffey Rahima hula hula Allah Crescenzi dunya What
caleffi Attili NUS Imam Shafi was like a son for the worlds that his
guidance that his guidance anybody who takes people towards a good in
this world is like a sun. The sun gives you like to walk him and if
there's other MA and anybody else who takes people towards good and
instructs them is like, like a spiritual son isn't he? And he is
like a source of wellbeing for the people because he helped them out.
This all comes through acceptance. One day somebody came to a young
man came to Imam Shafi and he said I lemony my Allah, Allah, teach me
something from which Allah has taught you.
Why would you say to just teach me something? So he's telling him
that Allah taught it to you, so you need to teach me? So it's like
reminding him that it's not affecting me. It's just something
you need to do. Right?
In English, how would that sound? Somebody comes in say, teach me
something from what Allah has taught you.
Sounds a bit bold, isn't it? But that's just you have to put that
in perspective. So Imam Shafi Rahim Allah said LM and naman
sadaqa Allah Who Naja min so the Kola Naja. Anybody who is truthful
to Allah who is going to be safe, who is generally truthful to
Allah, He is going to be safe woman Ashoka Allah, Dini Salim
Amina Radha, and anybody who's concerned about their faith, that
I might get it wrong. I might sin or whatever is generally going to
be saved from destruction. Wednesday, the fifth duniya,
Cortina, me my euro hoomins Our Billahi Tada hudon and anybody
who's abstaining from the world who is not loving the world too
much, may Allah make that easy for us. That person's eyes will be
made to be delighted by the reward of Allah subhanaw taala tomorrow
because the less you focus on the world, that means the more you
focus on the hereafter, the more your reward will be in the
hereafter.
So, when he said that
Imam Shafi said Shall I tell you a bit more like should I carry on or
Is that enough for you of that which Allah has taught me? So
let's tell you some more he says yes, please. So then Imam Shafi
Rahim Allah said that whoever has three characteristics, then they
that will be completion of their faith. We all have Iman, but the
struggle we have is that is our iman perfect and completed. So all
of us sitting here and listening. We are faithful people. We have
faith we say law
Hola Hola Hola. But how do we get that to completion and perfection?
Right? So he says that you just need three characteristics. Number
one man, Amara Bill Maher roofie Tamar, he is adding something on
here, whoever commands good, and who, what Tamar basically means
whoever is whoever accept somebody else's command to good. So it's
easier to tell other people, but it's more difficult to accept it
when others have said it, and even to be on the lookout for it.
When the honeymoon Curry One Taha who prohibits the wrong and who
also abstained when they're told.
And number three, we'll have other other who do the law, heat Allah,
and who's very concerned about the limits of Allah.
And then Imam Shafi said, Should I give you some more? And he said,
of course, so he said confit dunya. The hidden waffle are here
at Ravi been
cut away your focus from the world. And enter your full desire
for the arciero was tequila Tada V. Jimmy, Jimmy Mourik. And in
every matter in everything that you do, just be truthful to Allah,
like what does Allah want from me? I want to be truthful to him.
Truthful here means that it's essentially this is related to
love. Because why would you be truthful to somebody if you don't
care for them?
When you love someone, then you want to be truthful to them. You
want them to see you, as somebody who's sincere and goodwill,
expressing of goodwill. So you have to develop a love for Allah
first, to then want to be good to him. Because Tell me, who are you
most sincere to? Like, who would you do something sincerely for
generally, the people you love, you're not going to do it for your
boss, if you don't love him, you're doing that just to make
money just so that you get your paycheck. Right to others, you may
only do it to get a position or to get some favor. But when you do it
sincerely for somebody that you love, right? So you have to
develop the love first. And then it's easy to be truthful about it.
That's what he said.
And he said, If you do all of this 10 Juma and Jean, with those who
are going to be safe, you will also be safe with them. Then
another thing he said other wisdom, these are just his
observations, he says, Look, everybody that is that is out
there is going to have some people who love them, and some people who
hate them.
You know, even when you're young at school, there's some people who
like you. And there's some people who don't like you. Why don't they
like you? Maybe because you got something that they don't have.
Maybe you've got a friend that they don't have, maybe you're more
charming than they are, whatever the case is. I mean, you go and
try to find out why people don't like you why people like you.
Sometimes this is just too much of a bother sometimes for the
flimsiest reasons that people don't like you.
Right? Shaytan just puts an idea in your mind, when you actually
learn more about the person's like, Why did I hate him for? I
don't even know why I hated the person. That's shaytaan cheatin
likes to create these problems. You look at somebody's head on
like this guy. He's not done anything wrong to you. You just
don't like the way he dresses.
Right? judgments we make. That's why positivity is a good thing. So
he says, Look, generally there's, there's hardly anybody who's who's
who's going to be free of this, you're going to be liked by some
people, you're going to be hated by some people. So let that not
affect how you make your decisions for in Canada, that is if that's
the reality for Kumar and he thought he thought it la he
Azerbaijan up with the obedient ones. That should be your focus.
He says if you're struggling with this idea that I'm not doing
something sincerely for Allah, and I'm doing things for myself, and
I'm self conceited and narcissist, right? How do you how do you find
out if that's the case? Or not? Like, am I doing this just to show
off? Who am I doing this for Allah subhanaw taala he says it's very
simple, is that either if there are medical original, if you're
concerned about being self conceited about your actions,
funds or retirement dotloop Think about who satisfaction you're
looking for? Who are you trying to satisfy? Like, be honest, like who
are you trying to satisfy my trying to satisfy the people who
are sitting here? Or am I trying to satisfy Allah?
Soon as you soon as you think that it should help you clear your
intention. Because I may be sitting here just said he's trying
to satisfy you, because that's part of the job isn't it that you
benefit? Right? So how do you deal with that?
So you start thinking then, well, I must do this for Allah. And I'm
asking Allah for Tofik to do it in a way that's beneficial. So can
you see how it's just turned around? Now? Initially, the
thought was, I'm just talking to these guys. So I want them to be
impressed so that they benefit. I'm not thinking about Allah.
Allah is coming afterwards. And now I think I must do this for the
sake of Allah. And in order to do that, I am hoping that they will
benefit and Allah will benefit you. So now you've gone to Allah
first and then you've come back to the people. So eventually you come
back to the same thing, but it's through Allah and that just makes
it easier. So always think about it like that whenever you're doing
anything. Who am I trying to please with this?
Wi Fi or youth or Bintaro? Whose reward you want?
Wi Fi ie a car Bintaro hub? And who's punishment? Are you trying
to stay run away from
right?
What are you feared in Tesco? And from whose well being Are you
going to give thanks? What are you Bella in that call? For in Nikka
interfaculty viwa hidden Wahida demon Hadeel hustle server Sahara
fi i inika MLM look, he says once you start thinking about this way,
your action suddenly becomes very inferior. Because then you start
thinking it's up to Allah, everything is up to Allah anyway.
So hopefully that will be of benefit to us in sha Allah. When
he was about to pass away very young age right when he was about
to pass away. One of his greatest students was name is Imam and
Mussolini. Egyptian Imam and Mussolini. He's Imam Taha his
uncle, I think, right? He is like the Imam Abu Yusuf tema will
Hanifa Imam Shafi is main student is Imam Muslim, right Egyptian. So
Imam Muslim is saying that he went to visit Imam Shafi during his
terminal illness. And he said to him okay for us bakhtiyarpur
Abdullah, how are you this morning?
About Abdullah that's his title. He says how are you this morning
Abu Abdullah so he said to him us back to me at dunya era halen.
Right. Imagine somebody's on their deathbeds. So he's saying that
I've woken up this morning finding myself
on the traveling from this world.
When he when he moved Ripon
departing from my friends, my companions what'd he say? He I'm
early mula Kyun.
And I see myself about to come across my worst actions.
When he gets ill many Yeti Shah ribbon and drinking a cup of
death. While Allah rabita barakaatuh Allah wa riden and soon
to come come upon Allah subhanho wa Taala Lovely to see you Rohit
ill Jannetty for Wuhan Neha. Oh Illa nerdy for IZEA. Now that's
the problem. I don't know if my room and my spirit is going to
traverse to Jana. So then I give it glad tiding or it's gonna go to
the fire and thus I give it condolence.
And then he said the following night, he was a poet, so he's got
his old Diva and his old collection of poetry. So he says,
What am Casa Calbee Well, docket Muda, Hebei, JAL to Raja Meneely
Africa su lemma, the Al Romanism be phylum Tao for many them be for
the Quran to be Africa, rugby, Ghana, Africa, Alana, Wilma Zylka
AF when I need them, bilum dazzle the Jew do that for a minute and
what a karuma he says this in great hope to Allah subhana wa
Tada. He says, When my heart became hard, and all my paths
became contracted, and narrowed and limited, I made my staircase I
made my
my
elevator,
my hope in you, my hope in you for your pardon became my elevator my
lift, because otherwise, I couldn't find any other way to go.
So I thought, okay, that's the only way. And he says my sins
became great, too much too big in my eyes. But then when I link them
to your pardon, my lord, then I saw that your pardon was greater.
And he says, Oh Allah, you have constantly remained up one to
pardon from sin. You have constantly remained generous and
overlooking this out of your favor and out of your benevolence. So
he's essentially asking Allah for hope.
One day somebody asked him, how are you?
So you're gonna say what do you say when somebody says how are
you?
sound fine. What else do you say? And if you've got an issue, then
you tell them
a lot of the time you know, when somebody asks you, how are you
how's your family? Do they really mean here is a tradition.
Right? I mean, it's
that tradition, but to be honest, right?
When you've been through in a tradition where they don't ask you
that, and then somebody else even traditionally actually sounds
good. Like somebody's caring, right? It's more than rather just
coming to ask you for something selfish. They're like, Okay, how
are you is that if you are from a tradition that asks you these
things, then just make it sincere. You don't have to give it up just
because it's tradition. The point is, make it sincere. So genuinely
ask, we do go to a person who is very busy, then don't waste their
time with all of these questions.
Because sometimes they get to him or what do you want from me? You
have to be you have to obviously be savvy with these things.
So somebody asked him, how are you?
Okay, for?
So he said, Kay, for her no, my used to be who were you totally
boohoo samanya.
So he says, he turned the question around to them. He said,
What do you think should be the state of somebody who wakes up in
the morning, and he's got three demands? Now, there are eight
demands that he has to deal with.
What do you think is the situation of a person who gets up in the
morning and there's eight things that he has to deal with?
Kitabi he will Amman, the book of Allah is telling him with your
worship
sunnah to Nabhi he will Matoba the Sunnah of this prophet is saying,
you need to follow that demand.
When if so who will be showered Now those two are the good ones.
Next two will be showered by his nurses telling him fulfill this
desire. Go and eat that go and talk to that person. Go on indulge
yourself there.
Were shaytaan who Bill Mohana farts everybody has a shaytaan so
he shaytan is telling you you need to oppose Allah here. You need to
do that sin and you need to do that excess. Why Yahoo will quote
he's got it all. And his family is demanding the daily bread like
well, you know, we need food. We need clothing. We need school
fees.
University fees. I need to get married. I need to do a big
wedding. Right? I need to do shopping.
We need a holiday.
What else?
What haha who Bill Wahiawa who bittul Eamon and his ambitions are
demanding
these big ideas.
What the rubies roofie. But the time is moving on with all of its
events. So what can you see is just being thrown around like in a
roller coaster? When we're medical multi because the Ruhi and that
molecule mo disorder that the angel of death is already also
standing there waiting to take your life.
Do you know the medical mode right? The angel of death? Do you
think he goes through the same kind of time period as we do like
day after day?
You see what I'm saying? His whole job is to take life. So every day
is taken life does he have any days? Because time probably
applies differently to these people. Right to these
individuals, right? Can you believe like somebody who's got
it? So did you ever think about this? Like these are all the
demands we have in life? Has anybody ever thought that my
family I need to look after them. I've got my own like ambitions.
I've got my knifes that once my own personal gratifications. I got
the Shaytan was constantly telling me but then I've got the book of
Allah I got the Sunnah and time is moving on.
And then there's the angel of death.
That's that's the busy missing anything. And you know, when two
great people like that meet, they complement one another.
So, these two had some great love Imam Muhammad, you know, humble
and Imam Shafi. Right? And remember, Muhammad is his teacher.
So Imam Muhammad is a student, but Imam Shafi used to respect you
know, Muhammad usually, right. So it's related when Imam Ahmed even
though humble, he became ill once.
So
Imam Shafi went to visit him, you know as a sick person.
And when he saw him in that state, Imam Shafi became really really
anguished and he became sick.
So then, when Imam Muhammad became better, he went to visit him when
he saw Imam Shafi Imam Shafi became better.
So then he said, Marie dal Habib refers to who, for Josie Toobin
Hosni Ali, Adel Habib for Tsar Ronnie for Barry to be another
era.
So Imam Shafi makes a point on that he says,
My beloved became sick so I went to visit him
and because
of my sadness over him, I became sick. So then my beloved came to
visit me.
So then I became better by seeing him.
You have to have love for Allah for the sake of Allah for these
things to happen in a pure way, otherwise, it's adulterated love.
You can love a lot of things. But what you have to remember is that
everything that you love besides Allah will always eventually end
in sorrow. The reason is that whatever you love is always going
to be finite. And love when in pure love, you want it to be
forever. So if you love whatever it is,
eventually it's going to end are you going to fear that it's going
to come to an end or that you're going to depart? So that way you
can't ever exercise pure love, you can never realize pure love. So
what is the verse in the Quran before we're Latina,
Amanohashidate Bonilla, I mean, unless you may mean doing Ilahi
and then you hit buena home, go hug Billa there are among the
people there are those who take besides Allah, objects of love,
right? To be similar to Allah, they take them and make them the
objects of love, you hate buena hunger Billa and they love them as
they should love Allah.
When Latina Amanu I should do Hogben Nila. But the people who
believe they are most ardent in their love for Allah. So you can
love whatever else you want, and you can get a very deep love, but
it's never going to be complete love, because love is an eternal
idea. And that can only be realized with ALLAH SubhanA wa
Tada. And it can only be realized by loving everything due to the
love of Allah. So if Allah is telling you to love someone like
your family, your spouse, good people, then that love will always
also be fulfilling love because it's done because of Allah
subhanaw taala otherwise, there's nothing else that you can, as much
as you might love them physically or whatever, you can never be
satisfied in that love until you love Allah subhanaw taala that's
just the way that love works.
So let us stop here.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala for tofi to benefit us from these
great people and to make us like them and to make our children and
our progeny like them, and to give us friends like them because
that's the only way we're going to be successful.
But keep these eight things that Imam Shafi says in mind for every
day. Allah hum and the salam Amin Casella antibiotic the year the
