Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala
so you will more saline or other early he will be here about seldom
at the Sleeman Kathira Allah yo me Dean Amma Barrett,
the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa Taala is an established fact.
La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasool Allah La ilaha illAllah.
Tauheed is an though hate or rather the Oneness of Allah, that
hadith of Allah.
That is an established fact. It is such an established fact that it's
generally not even discussed. The existence of Allah subhanho wa
Taala is generally not discussed in the Quran. What Allah discusses
in the Quran is the Oneness of Allah. Reason is that over time,
while the majority of the people of any given time in history in
this world, generally accepted a Supreme Lord, because it's such an
essential reality. It's always been a very
agreed upon reality which is built into the human fitrah for the
fifth rotala Hilah de facto rottenness Alia the reason for it
is the covenant which was taken by Allah subhanho wa Taala after he
created other Malli Salaam and extracted all of his progeny from
him with other Abu coming Benny Adam, I mean with the hoodie him
Zuri Yetta home what a shadow Humala and foresee him unless to
be or become Corlew, Bella, Shahid, narla and phocoena. So,
they all agreed, so that's what we're born with. That's the fitrah
that the Prophet sallallahu sallam said every child is born with. So
the Oneness of Allah subhanaw taala is there. Though hate though
means something different than the Oneness of Allah. Oneness of Allah
is a fact. It's a statement. It's, it's an it's an established
reality, though he doesn't action on behalf of human beings or
anybody else for that matter, to declare that Allah is one. So
Tauheed, you have to remember is to say, to declare, to believe
that Allah is one because Allah is one anyway. But for us, it's an
act that we're supposed to do. So tau hate is a transitive term
mortality. It's a transitive term.
Though hate
is essentially the refuge for
the Olia of Allah subhanaw taala. It's a source from which have many
things happened related to the hereafter.
Though hate is the powerhouse from which the Earth era is made.
The heat is what determines a person's fate. It's the thing
which makes or breaks the person's salvation in the hereafter. So if
we
take the reference of the enemies of Allah subhanho wa Taala with
reference to DOE heat, and then we'll look at the Olia with
reference to DOE heat and see how it differs. When it comes to
when it comes to even the enemies of Allah subhanahu wa Tada
Allah subhanaw taala speaks about them making the heat or doing the
heat declaring the Oneness of Allah.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says about them for either rocky boo Phil
filthy that I will allow her meclizine Allahu Deen for either
rocky boo filfil key that will allow her meclizine Allahu Deen,
further manager whom it will bury either whom you should raccoon.
This is something they can't even deal with. This is something that
they have a challenge with essentially, even though
intellectually they're disagreeing with Allah they denying Allah, but
they themselves will
accept this belief when they're in a certain vulnerable state. It's
about a vulnerable state. This tells us something very important
because let's look at this verse verse for either rocky boo filfil
when they get on to their ships, onto their seafaring voyages. And,
of course, it's not mentioned in this particular verse, But when
the waves start to roll and there's a
deadly situation ahead a situation of terror about to drown, they
call on to Allah meclizine Allahu Deen
while making
the faith sincerely for Allah subhanho wa Taala for the manager
whom, but then when Allah subhanaw taala gives them delivery to the
dry land, either home usually cone, they go back to disobeying,
they go back to, to ship to policies. And again,
this in itself tells you something very important that when a person
is a vulnerable when a person is in a vulnerable states, he is
expected to be closer to Allah. That's a very vulnerable state,
both from a Darwinian perspective, but also from a spiritual
perspective. They tend to be closer to Allah subhanaw taala the
intellectual arrogance is all broken. It's all it's all dealt
with. In that sense. That's why it's easier for them to get to
Allah subhanaw taala that's why when Heraclius asked Abu Sufyan
Who
are the followers on Mohamed Salah lorrison, this new prophet
about who had received this letter
dot dot alpha.
Is it the week? Or is it the strong? He said it's the week and
he says this is exactly what happens. Why would the week be the
first? Why do you think the weak are the first to go to a prophet
and accept him. But the reason seems to be quite clear because
they don't have this other sources or senses of security, or
perceived security, which is the wealth, influence power position.
When they don't have that position, then they need
something, it's easier for them to look to somebody else. This tells
us that power, position, influence, luxury, all of these
things, they corrupt, they become a barrier to Allah subhanaw taala
they have
they have a potential for being a barrier to Allah subhanaw taala
that's why the prophets Allah Allah Some said that Allah is with
the moon casserole Galoob Allah is with the brokenhearted ones.
Because the broken heart is more ready and fertile to take on the
bounty of Allah subhanho wa Taala the NOR of Allah subhanaw taala at
the mercy of Allah subhanho wa Taala reason is quite clear,
because they don't have anything else to take support from. They've
lost oil, all else. So then they turned to Allah subhanaw taala.
So now this is actually
does that mean that we have to be brokenhearted? We have to be
vulnerable. We have to lose all influence and power and have to be
in that kind of weakened state to believe properly. And Allah
subhanaw taala? Not necessarily. Because once your strength and
position and power and everything is built on the foundation of
Tawheed, then inshallah all of these things are two benefits.
It's only when these things become a prevention, but all the time,
obviously for a person who has Iman and oh, he does well, they're
gonna have to be careful that these things don't become an
encroachment.
If our shift begins to, if our gaze begins to and focus begins to
shift towards these things, and we get this false sense of security,
just because we have lots of money in our bank account, and lots of
disposable income, we don't have to ask Allah as we used to have to
ask him when we didn't have much and we say, oh, Allah, let me get
by. I'm in difficulty. I only have this much money. Now we have a lot
more money. So there's no reason to ask Allah subhanaw taala Can
you see how these things can can corrupt you when you didn't have
much influence and you had to really ask Allah subhanaw taala to
help you get through the world get your paperwork done. For example,
let's take an example. Somebody who's in a third world country
whose country England eventually now imagine the number of dollars
that they made while they were there, just to get out of their
situation in their village. You know, they were they were
siblings, they had five six siblings, a small bit of land to
go between them constant arguments, constant difficulty,
constant constant, you know, hunger issues, right? They had
just enough money to get a few things. Now finally, they used to
make dua to Allah subhanho wa Taala day every day they were they
were making constant dua to Allah subhanaw taala Allah revealed,
relieve them of that problem. You know, from the middle of the
oceans, Allah relieve them of that problem. Now he's brought them to
this country, for example. And now they've forgotten Allah subhanaw
taala because mashallah, they've got a good job. They've got a
house now, and everything is data, they don't have to need for
anything, everything is available, everything is available. So now
they forgotten Allah subhanaw taala.
They have an entirely forget, they haven't given up Allah subhanho wa
taala, the shift in focus is so on the sense of apparent
security with everything that they have available, that now they
don't have to call on to Allah subhanaw taala as much. This is
how I believe that wealth and other things because of the false
sense of security and power they provide you. They take away this
vulnerability state, and thus they make you forget Allah subhanaw
taala
now we do remember Allah subhanaw taala because the way of this
world is that you are never going to be in a constant state of
prosperity, there's always going to be some kind of adversity so
that those are reminders. In that sense, doesn't adversity seem like
a bounty, in the midst of all of that jungle of prosperity? Right.
Now the successful one is the one who is manages to.
to spiritualize you can say his prosperity so that all of that is
for Allah.
He has constant state of vocal Calbee regardless of what he's
doing, he doesn't allow it to get into his heart. That's what it
seems like.
That's the distinct This is our challenge, I believe.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala is saying that even when the
Mushrikeen here they do a sense of dough hate even they just feel
inside. Oh, God. Do you understand cutting out of the darkness of all
what they've disbelieved? Until now Allah helps them
Allah helps them. But unfortunately they return. Now
when it comes to the Olia of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada
Allah subhanho wa Taala will then because of that, oh heat, Allah
will give them
delivery from the difficulties of this dunya and akhira and all of
the difficulties of the euro as well. This is exactly why you see
the example of this in Euro Saudi Salam story.
Allah subhanaw taala gave him freedom from that darkness in the
stomach of the whale.
Likewise, he did get back, right so he didn't die. That's right.
Likewise, those who followed the messages in throughout our
history, we have the stories of those who followed the messengers
in their time, Allah subhanho wa Taala finally gave them victory
finally gave them delivery. You look at the people of Musa alayhis
salam downtrodden, enslaved, the children killed, the men full
killed the women left alive, Allah subhanaw taala finally gave them
and then made them worse when he finally made them inheritors of
the earth.
In fact, in fact, even the Pharaoh, even the Pharaoh, when he
was about today, when he was about to drown, rather, you had the
situation where he says, No, I declare that I believe in the Lord
of Musa and Harun though it was just too late for it to be validly
acceptable by Allah subhanaw taala. But Allah subhanaw taala
loves the dough heat so much that it mentions about certain angels
that they were frightened that he would even be forgiven at this
time.
However, obviously, his though he did not, did not benefit him at
that time, because of the fact that it was too late, he began to
see reality, the realities of this world where all intoxication of
this world disappears. All you then see is just absolute reality.
Because when a person dies, the truth and falsehood becomes
clearer, because no longer are you part of this dunya you're leaving
this world. So all the facades of this world begin to disappear. And
you start seeing what really should have been the case. And
then you start measuring our own perspective about what we did
believe. And if it's in conformance to the reality that
we're, that is becoming our awareness right now. Then you go
in bliss, and you think, yes, you know, I've got my answers, right,
I've won in this exam. And if not, then it's a difficulty. In terms
of the most in terms of the greatest difficulties, it's only
ship that can get you into the greatest difficulty, which is the
greatest of the difficulties, the difficulty of the hereafter.
How does one get pleasure in their worship with Allah subhanaw taala.
I want to clarify from before, that's not what we're after. But
it would help.
So a person should not become upset that they don't get any
pleasure in their worship.
The reason is that pleasure in the worship is a very high state, it's
a stage that has to be ready to be reached basic is like a MACOM,
that has to be reached, in a sense, and it's up to Allah
subhanaw taala.
However, there are some ways to get it if you understand the
mechanics of where pleasure in worship and love for Allah
subhanaw taala comes from now think about this world, anything
in this world.
If a
person that is just a normal person, you don't have any special
relationship with that person gives you a gift. And you compare
that to the gift of somebody who you admire and love so much. And
suddenly they give you a gift. They give you the same thing, this
person gave you the same thing as the other person gave you a pen,
or gave you a book, or he gave you a voucher or whatever the case is,
can you see the difference in the value of those gifts even though
intrinsically the value is the same, but the extrinsic value of
who gave you them becomes very different from the person who
loves you, it brings so much more attachment to it. That you you you
get so much more out of it. Oh wow. He this person likes me as
well. They love me as well. They care for me as well. You know, and
then suddenly that same gift of five pounds that was given by this
person and this other person, this one suddenly took more value than
the gift of the other person. So they say a leather to tarbiyah to
nil muhabba
love that and pleasure is some is basically contingent on your love
for somebody or something.
The Aqua Quwata watada If you don't feel
this pleasure will increase based on the love you have for something
or it will decrease based on your love for something. The strength
and the weakness of your love that in something will be the same kind
of thing.
That's why he says that every time your desire for you
Your maboob Your Beloved
is stronger than when you reach that Beloved, when you attain that
beloved, then you're going to get more out of it. Your Pleasure is
going to be much more. I'll give you another example. Some people
who have really, really, really saved up for the Hajj out of love
for Allah subhanho wa taala. Every time they were putting money aside
for the last 10 years, they were thinking, this is for Hajj for
Allah subhanaw taala
it was not just the trip that they could make because they had so
much money, and they could just do it every year. This person was
saving because he wanted to go to the house of Allah subhanaw taala.
So every time he's putting money away, this guy gets to Hajj and
along with him in his group, there's another person who goes
every year, you see the difference between them, generally speaking,
the love that that they're going to get just from seeing Allah
subhana wa Tada, it's going to be massively different. This is not
to say a person who goes everywhere cannot have love that
he may have data for Allah subhanaw taala.
But I'm just saying that there are people who go every year that trip
group leaders.
And they don't even perform a tawaf in a normal camera
situation. They take their group, but they don't perform with off.
Except one, maybe they don't do any extra throw off for them, they
become so used to it, the love is not there. It's become busy
business. Okay, so that sounds a great concept, increase your love,
and your love that and your pleasure will increase.
How would you increase your love of something
that needs to be answered.
So he's saying that
love for something, and Shulk and desire towards it comes generally,
from knowing more about it, understanding its characteristics,
knowing more about it.
Every time the knowledge of something
becomes more complete,
then the love of that thing will increase as well.
It's only obviously if the thing is of quality.
Only if that thing is of quality.
And that's a simple issue because generally with everything else,
the more you get to know about if you find its defects, and the good
does not outweigh the defects, then you're in trouble. That's why
we're told in our marriages that the prophets Allah Some said that
if you see some bad characteristics from the side,
focus on the good ones
because everybody has good and bad when it comes to Allah subhanaw
taala there's no risk because it's all good.
All praises for ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So you can never risk
knowing too much about Allah subhana wa Tada. Knowing much more
about Allah subhanho wa Taala will increase that Mohabbat
so whoever believes in Allah subhanho wa Taala His names, His
attributes
and everything else about Allah subhanho wa Taala his Deen he is
going to be much more knowledgeable about Allah subhanaw
taala
the person who knows more about Allah subhanaw taala
if that's the case, then he is going to be more beloved to Allah
Subhan Allah, the One who loves the one who knows more about Allah
subhanho wa Taala he's going to become more beloved to Allah
subhanaw taala and when he gets close to Allah subhanaw taala his
loved it. When you say it gets close to Allah subhanaw taala
generally, in his vicar, that's when you expect to be close to
Allah. So in namaz in Salah you supposed to be close to Allah
subhanaw taala in such they are supposed to be close to Allah
subhanaw taala we're in such that we don't feel anything, we're
still thinking about other things. Because our love for Allah has not
developed like that. We don't feel that in our heart, because we
don't study Allah subhanaw taala enough.
Once a person has developed this understanding of Allah Subhan
Allah I read in the Quran and just focusing on the ways to get to
Allah subhanaw taala clearly by reading the Quran, with
understanding and pondering over it, and looking through the
heavens and the earth with a view to seek ALLAH subhanaw taala and
his attributes, His majesty, His beauty and everything else. Now,
when a person has that when he gains that stage, then every other
loves that of this world, every other desire of this world will
become nothing. When you've tasted the beauty of having something
big, then everything else becomes small. I'll give you an example.
Once you move away from
normal products I've got I've got a friend who likes good foods.
That means he becomes so difficult to please with normal foods
because he's into all the gourmet eating into the best restaurants
into the best types of food. So when a person you've got like
that, then they will think that everything smaller than that is
going to be extremely, extremely
below them.
below their states. And this is a very similar thing with the case
of Allah subhanaw taala when a person gets that love that, then
the love that of this dunya the pleasures of this world will
become nothing.
It's just like once you are into expensive brands, then somebody
tells you and gives you something from a low end store, then you're
not going to wear it, it's just going to be beyond you to do this,
you're not going to have any pleasure or any sense of
attraction to that thing.
It's just the law of this word. And that works with Allah subhanaw
taala as well. The way to cut ourselves away from the dunya is
by loving Allah subhanaw taala because when you sense that
pleasure and knowledge and you understand who Allah subhanaw
taala is, then that is what it is. That's why it says okay for you,
sir. Are you remember who Aculon love that and the effect and
Cassia rotten Mushu Buttonville Allah Allah love that, you know,
the matenda emetine abadal Ubud?
Oh, how will a person How will a person who has
intelligence?
Why should a person with intelligence give preference to a
weak form of pleasure? That is short lived? It's very temporary,
and it's filled with difficulties afterwards. It comes with many,
many pains afterwards. Why should he give preference to that? Over
the greater love and pleasure that is going to be forever in future
eternity?
And then
we'll come on who
will come out will Abdi be has to be hurt Angel Kuba Taney.
The perfection of any human being of any any servant of Allah
subhanho wa Taala is based on these two. You can say these two
strengths that he can inculcate. I'll Elmo will have knowledge of
Allah and love for Allah, the more knowledge and love for Allah
subhanho wa Taala you have,
then that's how more that's how much more perfection you reach.
And
out of knowledge of the Lulu Elmy Allah Al mobila or superior form
of knowledge is knowledge of Allah subhana wa Tada What are a little
herbal herbal level, and the highest level of love is the love
for Allah subhanaw taala
and Allah subhanaw taala help us now this theory that we this, this
entire concept that we've just brought about here.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us in this regard
to be a person attune to Allah subhanaw taala
and have his focus, to gain a better understanding of Allah by
reading the Quran, I think that is the way we understand the workings
of Allah subhanaw taala in this world, and then doing the earth
god that we're supposed to do to purify the heart, for the heart to
become receptive to this love.
And then you will see that the pleasure will eventually come.
Anybody who says that they have no pleasure with Allah, they have
more pleasure with everything else, it means they're not trying
hard enough. And deep down, everybody knows that. Because, for
example, Imam Al Ghazali, he considers herself to be an
empirical science.
And that's why he says, If you do this, and if you do that, and if
you do this, and if you do that, then you will get to the love of
Allah subhanaw taala tried and tested, you will get to it. You've
got belief, that's the qualification you need. Then you
do these practices, and these endeavors and you will get to
Allah subhanaw taala. Now, if a person doesn't get to Allah
subhanaw taala it means he's not doing these things. Why would
Allah the kind, generous Lord, who loves to be worshipped? Who loves
this praise to be made? Why would he
not allow somebody to come who's trying?
It means that I know it's simple for us to say this, it means we're
not trying hard enough.
And deep down, people know that
somebody comes and says, I've been doing a garden dhikr for this many
years. How come I don't feel the pleasure in my worship. But one of
the biggest reasons is that it's what surrounds us.
Just to stay safe in those things is a massive just to stay safe. In
the face of all fitna is a massive accomplishment
is a massive accomplishment, and Allah will reward for that. So now
in this regard, I just want to mention one more point. Anybody
who wants Allah subhanaw taala who seeks Allah subhanaw taala and
darle Akira.
His journey in this regard cannot be complete.
Except by abstaining from things except by a beautiful form of
abstinence. I've seen from the right things
he has to
constrained his focus on Allah subhanaw taala and he has to
constrain himself from looking and turning towards anything else.
He has to constrain his tongue from anything that is not of
benefits and he has to constrain himself on remembering Allah
subhanaw taala and on increasing his Iman and the martyrdom of
Allah subhanho wa Taala he has to also constrain his limbs, from any
disobedience to Allah subhanaw taala
he has to then he has to constrain it away from the disobedience of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and constraint it upon fulfilling all
the obligations and even the muster habit. Anything that is a
Musa hub is the hub means to love something to want to love
something was the hub is the things which have a beloved in the
Sharia there, they are praiseworthy deeds. They're not
why Jim, now why Jim is also praiseworthy. But why is Why do
you not call Mr. hob because it's got an obligatory factor to it. So
it's called obligatory but we must know that if something lower than
that which is the most the habits the men do, but again, another
some encouragement do about encourage things from the video
from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So those beloved to Allah subhanaw
taala, they bring a person closer to Allah subhanho wa taala. A
person cannot come away from this kind of discipline. Basically,
it's talking about a discipline. A person cannot remove themselves
from this discipline of continuous focus on doing the right things,
fulfilling all of the obligations and the muster habit and staying
away from all the harms and everything like that. It's a
constant struggle. It's a constant sense of discipline. That has to
continue hatha yoga yoga, until he meets Allah subhanaw taala. So
it's going to be an ongoing battle for you Elisa whom in a Sydney
Illa Oh, sorry.
Cover era Oh, sorry. Tada in what LTV? That is when Allah subhanho
wa Taala will release him from having to be concerned about these
things. This discipline has to continue until death for everybody
is going to be a struggle. Struggles will will change and
will be different in terms of there'll be harder and
easier. But at the end of the day, they're going to have to continue
to happen until a person dies. Woman lum Yasser Allah her team
will have seen anybody who is not able to persevere on these kinds
of absences. He is obviously
then going to have to be
in the Hereafter, he won't gain his freedom.
So if a person wants the freedom in this world, they don't get the
freedom in the hereafter because then a person has to deal with the
punishments in the hereafter in the hellfire.
That's why every hardage minute dunya every person who lives this
world in Mamata Khalifa mineral hub, see what a mother Hebron, it
will help see
anybody who's leaving and departing this world, either he is
going to be set free from
these restrictions, or he's going to have to go to an abode of
restrictions. And that decisions is that decision needs to be here
what I want to do, do I want to have restrictions in this world?
Or do I want restrictions in the hereafter where we lie Tofik and
only Tofik Tofik only comes from Allah subhanaw taala that's why
ignore.

they will just feel inclined to this person.

from me, I will then forgive him.
That is basically basically the fruits of the endeavors. So we
went through
the system by which a person gets close to Allah subhanaw taala.
That is by
knowing Allah subhanaw taala will give you more love for Allah and
love for Allah subhanho wa Taala will finally give you pleasure
with Allah subhanaw taala once you get that pleasure, it becomes
easier to worship.
But for that a person has to be very disciplined in this world.
And there's benefit to this discipline for the for those who
for those who have a belief in the hereafter because it's about
either being disciplined in this world or having to be forced to
have that discipline in the hereafter way it's forced anyway
and
Those are the benefits of Taqwa that we mentioned. To me Allah
subhanaw taala grant us with taqwa, especially in secret, and
may in future. The reason I find this the reason this is
very important that people are still struggling to the even with
their Salaat.
You know,
if
there's concern about keeping the gazes low there's concern about
abstaining from maybe or be careful of the kind of job we're
doing. Haram income, you know, things that are more difficult
haram income. You see a halal source of income but it's got
pollution inside you don't know it's adulterated income. These are
the every penny that we have is halal or not, that's a difficulty.
But Subhanallah there are still people who have concerned but they
can't make a prayer. They just miss prayers.
As personally emails me says that I
have not prayed.
I told him Okay, fine. Just report to me next week, how many solids
you managed to do every day? I get a email two weeks later, saying
sorry, I didn't email you but
now I'm telling you only don't do Juma.
No other prayer is can't do it.
What a difficulty that is. It means we have to try we have to
try we have to try.
The vulnerable state is a good stay reminds us of ALLAH SubhanA
wa Tada
May Allah grant us AFI and closest to him.
So that we're not forced to be in adversity to be remember to
remember him. And the worst is the one who's in adversity and still
doesn't remember Allah subhanho wa Taala that's where the prophet
Allah said melon yesterday layout the valley wherever doesn't ask
Allah Allah gets angry on him
so I don't know in people in
adversity, are they closer to Allah than people in prosperity?
Well, they have generally they have. There's a level of that
because
sometimes poverty can lead a person to suffer because it's
extreme and they can't deal with it. So you need Eman, whether
you're in prosperity adversity to manage those states
