			obedience make you joyous
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			I mean you should let obedience
make you joyous. He says, Let not
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:31
			any obedience make you joyous
because it comes from you. Don't
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			be happy because it came from you.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			But rather be joyous over it

			great people and allow us to get
the same understanding that they

			had.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:26
			So this is a pinata Elon is

00:01:26 --> 00:01:32
			we're covering. So the next one is
number 51, which is on page 101.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:39
			And it's number 51. We're going to
do Yeah, 151 page, sorry, 101 and
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:44
			51. This is what he says. He says,
I'm an allah God localu Human

			Amylin, yo liwan cashew Who were

00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			judo,
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			you'll have to think a bit deeply
about this one, he says, There is
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			no deed more fruitful
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			for the hearts
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:00
			than the one you are not aware of.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			What kind of deed must that be?
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			A deed that you're not aware of.
You don't pay any significance to
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:15
			maybe, and yet it is more fruitful
for the heart.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			We need to find this one out.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			And which is deemed even poetry by
you, what you consider to be
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			insignificant. What deed must be
Subhan Allah.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:32
			So let us dive into this to try to
understand what this deed this is.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			So maybe we can get more of these
deeds in sha Allah. Essentially,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			what he's saying is beneficial for
the heart. Remember, we've been
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			discussing this the philosopher's
sincerity is what actually gives
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			life to any deed that we do.
Otherwise, it's just the form.
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			It's like having a laptop, that
doesn't work, because it's process
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			it is gone.
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:54
			So it's a nice beautiful laptop,
it looks perfect, doesn't it?
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			There's not a scratch on it, but
it's processes gone.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:06
			The car, no scratch, but it's
gone. The engines gone. So based
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			on that the saying that these are
the deeds which will give life to
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:14
			your heart. And you don't know
that it's doing that. Because you
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			don't think it's significant
enough.
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:19
			He says that these are the ones
which
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			by Allah, and for Allah.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			You're doing them because Allah
allowed you to do them and you're
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			doing them for the sake of Allah.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:33
			Now, you might think what's the
difference between those two,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:36
			there will be some deeds that you
might do for Allah, but you don't
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:39
			believe they're happening because
of Allah. You think they're
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			happening because of yourself. So
you're patting yourself on the
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:43
			back.
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			Allah doesn't want you to pat
yourself on the back. He wants you
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			to realize that whatever you do,
it's by Allah anyway. And you're
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:54
			doing it for the sake of Allah,
meaning everything comes from
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:58
			Allah, everything goes to Allah,
and you care for nothing else,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:02
			essentially, you nothing else
matters for you except the fact
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:06
			that all Hamdulillah this has come
from Allah, and it is for Allah,
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:12
			nothing else matters. It's just
Allah, Allah, Allah. So what what
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			the main distinction in this is
that this is the one in which you
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			don't think that you had any part
to play in this.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:26
			I made the effort I woke up, I
came, I did this, I strived.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:31
			I undertook this. None of that
matters. None of that is even in
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			the picture.
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:41
			So you totally have no, no concern
about the fact that you had
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			anything to do with this. It's
just that oh, man, it comes from
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			Allah. That's all that matters.
You don't even think that? It's
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			not like you think it comes from
Allah. And I mustn't think it
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:55
			comes from myself. Eventually.
It's just like, it just comes from
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			Allah. I'm not even thinking of
myself.
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			I mean, there's a probably a
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:02
			build up to it, but eventually
that's where it's supposed to be.
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:07
			So you're just thanking Allah.
It's just a state of thanks,
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:08
			essentially.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:15
			So it's actual form and everything
becomes very, very small in your
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:19
			eyes. Because for you, it's just
that Masha Allah, Allah allowed me
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:22
			to do it. So the bigger idea is
that Allah is allowing me to do
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:26
			something. And Allah has given me
the trophy to do something. So it
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:30
			doesn't matter how much you're
donating in the path. Even if
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:34
			you've donated 10,000, which a lot
of people might not be able to do,
		
00:05:34 --> 00:05:37
			makes no difference to you,
because you're just like, oh,
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			Allah allowed me to do this. He
gave it to me and allowed me to do
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:48
			this. Oh, I've donated 10,000.
Wow, no, that doesn't even appeal
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:52
			any, it doesn't even come into
your mind anymore. You can tell
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			this is a very high level we're
talking about. But if we never
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			know about this level, we may
never even strive for it. We'll be
		
00:05:58 --> 00:06:00
			happy with the lower level. And
that's the problem. We don't want
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:04
			to be happy with the lower level.
Why does this happen? How can this
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:08
			happen? He says, it's because
finally you've got to a stage
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:13
			where the greatness of Your Lord
has finally found its way into
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			your heart. So that's all you can
think about. It just subsumes
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			everything else. It just veils and
covers, and just totally dissolves
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:26
			all other thoughts. That happens
with the number of things. You
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:29
			think certain individuals are
important when you get to the
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			highest gay like, Okay, forget
these guys.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:36
			Not like forget these guys, it
didn't matter anymore. Because
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:40
			your focus is now the person at
the top. And in fact, if you did
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:44
			go to somebody lower level, the
guy at the top would get a bit
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:47
			angry. He's like, You got direct
access to me, why do you have to
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			go therefore. But you wouldn't,
because you've developed that
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			relationship at the highest level.
So the armor and the greatness of
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			Allah and the Majesty of Allah.
And everything about him is just
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:02
			so clear in your mind finding
you've recognized them that
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:03
			nothing else eventually matters.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:09
			He says that these are the kinds
of actions that will really give
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:14
			you a boost and live in your heart
and be give it life. Others may,
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:18
			but to a lower level, this is the
one that will really give it the
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			life of your hearts.
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			And that is how you will
eventually be able to be
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:28
			witnessing your Lord, wherever you
are. And whenever the situation
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			wherever you are. And whatever
you're doing.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			That doesn't mean that you're
going to start seeing Allah
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			everywhere because Allah can't be
seen in this world. But you'll
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:41
			start noticing him thinking about
him and seeing him behind
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:41
			everything.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:44
			Imagine
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			that we can't avoid
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:52
			in this country and many countries
in the world now, you can hardly
		
00:07:52 --> 00:07:56
			avoid your eyes falling onto
something that we're not supposed
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:56
			to look at.
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:00
			Now, wouldn't that be very?
Wouldn't it make life very easy
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:05
			that if you did happen to notice
something that is absolutely
		
00:08:05 --> 00:08:08
			attractive and stunning and
beautiful, but how long for you to
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:10
			look at that rather than
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:16
			looking at it sometimes or that
that would remind you about Allah
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:19
			straightaway, because he's the
creator of that. He's the one who
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:22
			created that beauty in the first
place. So as soon as you see that
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:26
			beauty like Allah created this
beauty or what Allah doesn't want
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:27
			me to be looking at this so
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:33
			that that would make life easier.
Rather than like, oh, no, this is
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:35
			haram. I can look at it. I can't
let me stop myself.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:41
			That's why the Olia, they just
find these things easy. Even if
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:45
			they confront a fitna confront a
challenge. It's just easier for
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:48
			them because Allah just makes
everything easier. Because they
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:49
			always think about Allah.
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:53
			And they love Allah so much. They
never want to upset him or they
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:56
			never want to be on the wrong side
of that. So they see something
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:59
			beautiful, like, okay, Allah
created this. Do we think about
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:02
			Allah when this happens? No, it's
just enough's enough enough that
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:05
			like beautiful wow, you know. So
he says that this is actually the
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:10
			spirit of conviction. This is the
proper essence of conviction. This
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			is when you when you reach this
state, and this is essentially
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:17
			what gives life to the hearts of
the knowers of Allah subhanaw
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:22
			taala this is their state. They,
we you know, it's me and no one of
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			Allah walking around, he'll look
at things differently. I look at
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			things differently. Then we
processing seeing things
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:29
			differently, we'll be processing
things differently.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:35
			So that's why he says that when
Allah subhanaw taala wants to give
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:39
			this person this kind of closeness
and openness and consciousness,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:46
			then his actions that he does the
person doesn't give them the
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			weight. It doesn't mean he stops
actions. He's doing actions but
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			he's just doing them in a
different way now is like Allah is
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			allowing me to do so he's just
constantly focusing on Allah, and
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			in his eyes, the action becomes
small meaning his part
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			Then the action becomes totally
small.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:06
			It is an afterthought. The fact
that I did it always just goodness
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:10
			is happening in the world. You
know, there's beauty that's taking
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			place in the world and actions are
happening and the Sunnah is being
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			followed my parts in it doesn't
matter, he is just an
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:21
			afterthought. Say you did it?
Yeah, I guess I did it type of
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:27
			thing, if not even less than that.
So a person can't reach this stage
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:31
			until you make an effort with your
limbs and heart in the beginning
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:35
			to start doing this. Because once
we get used to doing good actions,
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:39
			then we can correct our intention.
Because the actions are there, it
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			does take a lot to produce an
action, you know, all the effort
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:47
			in the all the effort that we have
to put waking up, doing wudu
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:51
			spending, whatever it is, all of
this is difficult, no doubt. So he
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			says that once a person
continuously does this,
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:58
			eventually, they will come to a
state where it won't matter that
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:02
			dated it will All that will matter
is that there is goodness and
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:06
			obedience that is happening with
Allah, you know, for the sake of
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:09
			Allah subhanaw taala. So
essentially, what will happen now
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			is that all you're going to be
focused on is the greatness of
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:16
			Allah and that Allah is being
glorified. That becomes your
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			focus. There's a one of the
scholars this is what he said, he
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:25
			says, mean Allah Murthy Mantova.
Allah Who, who law who he actually
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:32
			he is had a taxi, Rafi classy. How
do we know where the stage he says
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:37
			that one of the signs of the one
who Allah subhanaw taala has made
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			his willy right, the one who Allah
subhanaw taala has befriended and
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:46
			taken in his full care like that,
because they say they've strived
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			and gotten to that level. Now
Allah you know, the Hadith says
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:54
			that you have to fulfill the
Fuhrer of the obligations, and
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			then you will get essentially,
that you will reach the boundary.
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			Without the following, you can't
even reach the boundary. After
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			that, you keep making an effort
with the optional acts. And then
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:08
			he says A time will come and Allah
subhanaw taala will become the
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			hands by which you hold and touch
and the eyes with which you see
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:15
			and the ears by which you hear.
What does that mean? That means
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:18
			that you will be fully then
protected and guided. Not
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:21
			necessarily like the prophets. But
as much as any other human being
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:24
			can be. That means you become a
weenie, that's a weenie of Allah,
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:27
			the ones who are divinely
protected, you know, in most of
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:31
			their affairs. So he's saying
that, how do you know you're at
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35
			that level? Following he says he
had a taxi, Rafi classic. You're
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			constantly suspicious about your
sincerity.
		
00:12:40 --> 00:12:43
			You're constantly were like, Have
I got full sincerity? I don't
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:44
			think so I need to work harder.
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:49
			Because the lie is infinite. So
you want to you know, you can
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:53
			never get this perfectly right. As
as Do you think it's only up to
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:57
			Allah to accept it and forgive the
little or the big issues within
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:00
			and forgive it? Number two, will
reflect a feat of Korea.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			And you're constantly worried that
you're not remembering Allah.
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:09
			And you see that from the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam that when he
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:12
			came out of the bathroom, the
toilets, he would say, well,
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:16
			franak, you'd seek forgiveness
because I'm not allowed to be
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:20
			doing some kind of vicar in the
bathroom. That shows that he was
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:22
			always doing liquor and then he
felt really bad when he came out
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			he sought forgiveness.
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:27
			That's the province of awesome
state. When look sign a few
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:32
			Siddiqui and deficiency in your
veracity and truthfulness. Am I
		
00:13:32 --> 00:13:36
			really true and honest in what I'm
trying to do? While photography
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:37
			Mujahidin
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43
			and a weakness and incompleteness
in my efforts?
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:45
			I can do much more.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:49
			Not this is not to a level that
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:54
			you become despondent say forget
it. This just drives you further.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:57
			It's a different level. Right? You
don't want that level, which just
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:00
			makes you stop doing everything. I
can't bother with this anymore.
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			It's not done. And this is the
level of beauty where it's just
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:08
			perfection. Because any artist,
any any specialist in something,
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			they enjoy what they're doing, but
they want to get to perfection. So
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
			they always critical of their own
work.
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			They're always critical of their
own work. This is not that novice
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			who starts and is like, Oh, I
can't bother with this. I can't
		
00:14:19 --> 00:14:23
			get to it. Those guys never
succeed right? But this is the the
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:27
			artists to is always trying to
make it better. What could little
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:34
			morality fuckery the person is
worried about the shortcomings. In
		
00:14:34 --> 00:14:38
			his advice. Am I expressing enough
need to Allah?
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:42
			As much as I should be doing
because I am needy? Am I becoming
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			too independent? Am I relying on
my own devices too much?
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:54
			Am I acting as the slave as I am
supposed to be a slave? Or am I
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:57
			now getting to satisfied with what
Allah has given me which gives me
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:59
			a false sense of security and
independence.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:00
			It's
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:05
			so he says for Turkey the corner
Jimmy are actually hearing the Who
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:06
			are your Ahmadiyya.
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:10
			That means he's never set it
satisfied fully with his own
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			deeds.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:15
			He's never fully satisfied. He
said, I can do that much better
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:19
			and top this I can make this
better. Where's the difficulty on
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:24
			it Allah He cost the he was saying
he had the yagna and condition in
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:28
			Duna. That's how he progresses in
this. That's how he progresses he
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:33
			says, and he will then increase in
his need towards Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:38
			taala in his intentions in his
travels, meaning to Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:44
			taala in his path until finally,
ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada will make
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			him independent of everything
besides himself besides Allah.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:53
			Okay, now, you know, he, whatever
that feels like Allah subhanaw
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:54
			taala knows best.
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:00
			So that's essentially the deed
we're looking for.
		
00:16:01 --> 00:16:05
			May Allah subhanaw taala granted
some of these deeds. And you know,
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:08
			sometimes we're had an example of
this, if you don't have this fully
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:11
			something like there's a deed we
do. And we just feel so humbled by
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:15
			it that, you know, Allah gave me
that ability. Like, if that even
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:18
			comes a few times, that's good,
because then we get the taste of
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:21
			that and understand that, but it's
not something you can just
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:27
			it's not easy, I guess. You we
make the effort to keep asking
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:30
			Allah for a class and sincerity
and eventually, this will come
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			about, and then imagine there's
going to be so much goodness in
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:36
			the world, and we don't take
credit for it. So selfishness goes
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:36
			out of the window.
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:40
			Then there's just goodness,
there's just goodness. And there's
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:42
			goodness, that's why there was so
much goodness in the time of the
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:45
			Sahaba, because they'd reached
this kind of stage. This is what
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			Sheikh Abdullah can go he says
about the he says that the deed,
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:51
			he's got a slightly different look
at a slightly different way of
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			looking at this. He says that the
deed that has the greater
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			acceptance by Allah Most High is
an act, that the servant
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:01
			understands to be from Allah, you
know that this comes from Allah,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:07
			he discerns it with his heart, and
does not attribute it to himself.
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:13
			By viewing with the hearts, I he
says that if Allah Most I did not
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			wish that I rendered this deed,
Never would I have been able to
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:20
			accomplish it. I think that's
something we can definitely do.
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			Because it's a reality. We would
not be sitting here today, if
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			Allah had not chosen us to be
sitting here, we could have been
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:27
			somewhere else
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			going out for dinner with a friend
or just chilling with the family.
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:39
			Or, as they say, in Trinidad
lining, or having fika. In Sweden,
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			you know, these are the different
words of people just chilling out,
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:45
			as they say. And it becomes like a
culture, you do this. And in
		
00:17:45 --> 00:17:48
			England, we've got a major culture
of going out to eat now. And for
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:52
			desserts and for China. Like you
can't have tea anymore at home.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:56
			These are major distractions. 20
years ago, 10 years ago, this did
		
00:17:56 --> 00:17:59
			not exist, but it just shows
disposable income that people
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			have, otherwise you couldn't have
teashops the way we do, right? You
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:09
			wouldn't have desert Palace to in
every street, if you didn't have
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			that disposable thing, it just
shows you where the community is,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			may Allah allow us to use it in a
in a good way. So the fact that we
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			could spend time sitting together
here, talking about the awareness
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:21
			of Allah, thank you Allah.
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:25
			Half halfway there thought, you
know, Hamdulillah I did this
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			instead of that, you know, and
that was
		
00:18:29 --> 00:18:33
			that was where we attributed
ourselves, you know, that was when
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:36
			we would be attribute to ourselves
but no, we want to say, Allah
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:40
			allowed us to be here. In fact, I
think they go beyond that. They
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:43
			don't even say Allah allowed us to
be here. It's not even a thought.
		
00:18:43 --> 00:18:46
			It's just Allah this there is no
thought beyond that. It's not like
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:51
			even I could think of this that
thought does not even arise anyone
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			because just so Allah subhanaw
Inshallah, one day we'll have that
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			very quickly inshallah. So then he
says,
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:01
			By viewing with the hearts I he
would say, if Allah Most I did not
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:04
			wish that I rendered this this
deed and never will I be able to
		
00:19:05 --> 00:19:08
			accomplish it. He should
subsequently not regard his deeds
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:12
			as being of such significance
whereby he guarantees for himself
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:13
			the attainment of divine
proximity.
		
00:19:16 --> 00:19:20
			I've done this I'm definitely
close to Allah. That guy doesn't
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:24
			do that. All of those guys don't
do that. Right. I'm here I went
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:26
			away from my friends and I sat
here they're probably having a
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:29
			good time. But you know what, I'm
gonna get jammed up because of
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:30
			this for sure.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:35
			In sha Allah to get gender is
okay. But I'm definitely going to
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			get January this will be look, I'm
the only guy who is doing this
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:37
			here
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:41
			on the country from his
perspective, you should consider
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:42
			unworthy of acceptance.
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:46
			Because Are we really fulfilling
the rights a little bit we've
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:50
			done, Masha, Allah, you know,
since it has emanated from
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:56
			himself, now I'm talking about
this at an advanced level. I mean,
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:58
			you're not going to go and tell
somebody who's just starting off
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:00
			the dean. You know, starting
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			In practice, you're going to tell
him this is going to be lower.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:06
			That's just beyond me. Well, you'd
be surprised. But yeah, this is
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:09
			not for everyone. This is for
people who are already on the
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:13
			path. They've already kind of
figured it out. This is the this
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			is the upgrade. This is the
further upgrade. When deeds
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:20
			possess such a balance between
hope and fear, they readily find
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:25
			acceptance in the Divine Court.
The next one, he says, lead to
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			free thought to the bar as admin.
So this is the next aphorism that
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:34
			he's doing, which is on page 102,
aphorism number 58 Wisdom number
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			58. He says, lead to free Qatar
actually under her Boris admin
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:44
			Wafra Behala Barasat mean Allah He
like, call the father in law, he
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:48
			will be rahmati he will be 30
Cavalli of Rahu will hydro
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:51
			minimize your own, uses a Quranic
verse here, what does he say? Let
		
00:20:51 --> 00:20:56
			not any obedience make you joyous?
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:03
			I mean, you should let obedience
make you joyous. He says, Let not
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			any obedience make you joyous
because it comes from you. Don't
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:09
			be happy because it came from you.
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:15
			But rather be joyous over it
becomes because it comes from God
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			to you.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:20
			That's why you should be extra
joyous now because I did it
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			because Allah made me do it.
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:28
			And then the verse is say, that in
the Grace of Allah and in His
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:33
			mercy, in that they should
rejoice, it is better than that
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:39
			which they hold themselves. That
verse tells you pretty indirectly,
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:44
			that what you have nothing. It's
what comes from Allah. That's
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:47
			what's great, both in terms of
this world and the hereafter. So
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:51
			how do we understand this, let's
look at this in a bit more, in a
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:52
			bit more detail.
		
00:21:54 --> 00:21:58
			So don't get too excited because
of worship came from you, rumba
		
00:21:58 --> 00:22:01
			beginner, they should get excited,
because you know, they might not
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:07
			be able to make that double step.
But this is. So there's a hadith
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:10
			that we've already read before we
said that men Serato Hassan atta
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:15
			was to say, to who for whom
augment whoever's good deeds, make
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:20
			them joyous and bad deeds, make
them unhappy, or feel bad that
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:22
			they are true believers, right.
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			Now, what does this joy mean? And
what the other might say is that
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			people are on three different
levels with regards to joy. Okay,
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:36
			in terms of when you do a good
deed, and you get joyous about it,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:37
			there are actually three levels of
this.
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			See, the more we read of this, the
more intricate, it's becoming, you
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:45
			know, the other in the other
session, about two sessions ago,
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:50
			we learned about the three
different levels of class, right,
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:52
			and we probably found ourselves at
the first level, and then we're
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			like, oh, there's actually two
more levels or higher levels to
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			go. So he's saying that even the
kind of joy that you should feel
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:01
			there are three, three different
types of people in that regard.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:06
			This one group, they are very
joyous, that when I do a good
		
00:23:06 --> 00:23:09
			deed, mashallah, I'm going to get
blessings because of this. And
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:12
			again, that's great. For the first
level, it's not a bad level, it's
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:15
			just the first level, there are
further levels above this, don't
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:20
			stop here. There's other levels
you need to write. And, oh, it's
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:24
			also going to protect me from the
other than the punishment. Right,
		
00:23:24 --> 00:23:26
			I didn't miss my dress is going to
protect me from the punishment.
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:33
			So I see these people, if you were
to analyze their state, they think
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:36
			that I've done this myself, I've
achieved this myself, and I've
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:41
			protected myself. So they think of
themselves still too much. You
		
00:23:41 --> 00:23:42
			need to go a bit higher than that.
		
00:23:45 --> 00:23:49
			So essentially, what they've not
freed themselves off yet, is that
		
00:23:49 --> 00:23:54
			I did it, they still think their
energy and their power and their
		
00:23:54 --> 00:23:58
			ability is still part of this. And
yes, for an hour from for an
		
00:23:58 --> 00:24:01
			outsider, clearly it is because,
you know, you don't do things
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:04
			automatically. So you do have an
effort. But the point is that in
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:08
			terms of Allah, it's, it's
actually all from ALLAH. So he
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			says, Now this might be a bit
difficult. He says that these are
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:13
			the people who just stop at a
yoke, and that will do.
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:16
			We worship you.
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:18
			Right, that's where they stop.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:24
			The next level, he says, are those
people who are joyous and excited
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:28
			and happy when they do a good
deed? Because they realize that
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:32
			Allah is going to be satisfied
now, and he's going to accept and
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:34
			this is going to cause me to
become closer to Allah subhanaw
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:35
			taala
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:39
			is a totally different reason,
isn't it? You're not worried about
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:42
			being just protected from hellfire
anymore. You're worried about
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			satisfaction of Allah, which is a
higher level,
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:47
			but it's not the highest one.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			And they realize that this must be
a gift from Allah because he's
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:55
			happy with me. So he's, he's
allowing me to do so getting there
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:59
			now. This must be a gift from
Allah that he's enabled me
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:00
			To do this,
		
00:25:01 --> 00:25:06
			so these kinds of actions, when
you feel that kind of joy, it's
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:11
			going to get you closer to Allah
and into His presence. When you
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			start thinking about him,
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:18
			they don't, they're now not really
considering their own actions in
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:19
			there.
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			Okay as much because they realize
that they must do this and Allah
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25
			is happy with me. So then you can
see that they're becoming a bit
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:30
			blinded towards their own effort
in this. Right? Not fully, but
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:32
			they're getting into this.
		
00:25:34 --> 00:25:37
			Because what they're thinking is
that I'm just glad that Allah has
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:42
			chosen me for this now. He's, he's
empowered me. So you see, it's not
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			about them anymore. It's more
about Allah is empowering me. So
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:47
			Allah is fully in the picture.
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:50
			So he says that these are the
people who have gone beyond ear
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:56
			canal boo to wear ear canister in.
So not only, Oh Allah, it's only
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:00
			you were worship, but we asked you
for assistance. So they've
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:01
			realized that you can only
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			it only comes from Allah and you
need Allah. So these are the
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:07
			people of Iraq, Afghanistan.
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:13
			Now, before we move on to the
third category, he says that the
		
00:26:13 --> 00:26:17
			people of the first category you
can that will do category, their
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:21
			worship was for Allah. Clearly,
right? It was for Allah.
		
00:26:22 --> 00:26:25
			But the second people there, their
second group that will their
		
00:26:25 --> 00:26:31
			worship was for Allah, but it was
always also through Allah, they
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:33
			recognize that they couldn't have
done it themselves, that is
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:38
			through Allah only. They've got
that additional package with them.
		
00:26:39 --> 00:26:43
			So it's not just I'm doing it for
Allah, I've done it for Allah. No,
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:47
			Allah allowed me to do it. And of
course, it's for Allah.
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:50
			I mean, if Allah if you think and
Allah allows me to do it, who else
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			is going to be for?
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			So they realize that, that it's
only through Allah Qudra. And he
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:59
			says that they know who Mr.
Farrakhan can be, there's a
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:01
			massive difference between those
two levels.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:07
			Okay, now, the third group is
those who become excited by an
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:12
			action. They're just excited by
Allah, nothing else comes into the
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:12
			picture here.
		
00:27:13 --> 00:27:18
			They don't, they don't even they
absolutely oblivious to even
		
00:27:18 --> 00:27:22
			themselves in this regard,
mashallah, I'm doing a you know,
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:25
			this is a good deed is taking
place, not that I'm doing it
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:29
			necessarily, a good deed is taking
place, and Allah is allowing a
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:30
			good deed to happen.
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:35
			They're constantly in the, they're
constantly conscious of the Lord.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:44
			So, if a good deed takes place,
with them, it's allowed allowed it
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:48
			to happen. And if they ever do do
a wrong, because they can still do
		
00:27:48 --> 00:27:50
			it on their nonprofits, they might
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:55
			get stuck in the wrong place at
the wrong time. And they might
		
00:27:55 --> 00:27:58
			make a little mistake and slip up,
then
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			they seek forgiveness from Allah
out of Adam.
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:07
			While they're supposed to actually
think that everything happens
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			because of Allah, they're not
total fatalists they're still
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:14
			realize that my job is to seek
forgiveness here. So they're not
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:18
			totally gone crazy in that regard
that oh, I'm just like a leaf and
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			because that's not our worship,
that's not our belief is it out of
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:26
			respect for Allah, they seek the
they excused themselves and they,
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:28
			they seek forgiveness for that.
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:33
			So essentially, now the at such a
level that this state does not
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:34
			change.
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:40
			They, they just everything is
happening for them. They just so
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:42
			connected to Allah that they're
doing everything of the world, but
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:49
			their state does not fluctuate too
much. So then he says they are the
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:53
			IDP they are the true recognizes
of Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:59
			So, he then says, a person who's
striving to get close to Allah.
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:06
			Don't get so over joyous when you
do a good deed, because it's come
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:07
			from you.
		
00:29:09 --> 00:29:09
			Right?
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			Why? Because you will be doing
shift with Allah.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:21
			That's a surprise. How to shift
come into this. Again, don't ever
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:22
			say to somebody who's just
starting.
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:25
			I'm doing a good deed. You're
telling me you're doing shift.
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:30
			You're ascribing partners to
Allah. Well, you are because Allah
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			is the One Who allowed you to do
it and made you do it and enable
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			you to do anything and you did it.
So aren't you thinking that
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:40
			somebody else has the ability to
make you do a good deed yourself?
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:42
			Aren't you becoming a partner so
Allah
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:48
			did you ever think of shit like
that? And this is this is an issue
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:52
			Allah wants pure monotheism, pure
monotheism
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:56
			that's why the Prophet sallallahu
sallam was like nothing but Allah
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			that's it, it was nothing but
Allah. They they had this as a
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			Reality Masha Allah was easy for
them they were the prophets Allah
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:07
			is Allah. But Allah reward these,
these writers who tell us these
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:09
			things, these knowers of Allah
subhanaw taala because without
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			them we will be lost. So then he
says, then you will become a
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:18
			mushrik with your Lord. Because
why this is further if you if you
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:22
			still have any doubts, he says for
in Allah Tala ne yo Nan, Allah
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			subhanaw taala, totally
independent of you, it doesn't
		
00:30:24 --> 00:30:25
			need you
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:30
			or your worship. So if you think
that a worship came from me when
		
00:30:30 --> 00:30:32
			Allah doesn't need that worship
from you,
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			Allah wants you to realize that he
only comes from Allah. That's what
		
00:30:36 --> 00:30:39
			he wants, that you just fulfill
what he told you to do in this
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:43
			world. You earn your living,
that's obligation, but you don't
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:46
			forget him. And then you realize
that everything you do, you're
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:51
			earning you get and the worship
you do, it's all from him. And he
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:55
			is so independent, that he would
need you to even worship Him. So
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			you should think well, he doesn't
need me to worry because it
		
00:30:56 --> 00:31:00
			doesn't increase him in any way.
So that means I'm just thankful
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:03
			that I am where I am.
		
00:31:05 --> 00:31:08
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says woman
Jah has to fit into my Yuja he
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:12
			will enough say in Allah Hello
Honey, you and Angela Levine
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:17
			Salthill Anka booth, verse six,
whoever makes any efforts, whoever
		
00:31:17 --> 00:31:20
			strives whoever undertakes
hardship to get anything done,
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:24
			they're only doing it for
themselves. Allah is declaring
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:28
			that in the Quran, because Allah
subhanaw taala is surely totally
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:33
			independent of all the worlds he
means nobody at all.
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:39
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam also said and this is a
		
00:31:39 --> 00:31:43
			Hadith kotse where he relates from
Allah subhanho wa Taala that Allah
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			said, My servants
		
00:31:46 --> 00:31:49
			Lo and Willa Kumar Hera Kuma in
second agenda, conquer Anwar
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:54
			Colombia Ragini Minh Rajan, InWa,
hidden masa, daddy Kofi Maliki
		
00:31:54 --> 00:31:57
			che, it's a longer Hadith but this
is the main part that he wants to
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:01
			bring here. He says, if if the
first of you from the first man to
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:05
			the last of you, and not just men,
but in San and Jin humans and Jin
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:11
			kind, if they were all on the
state of the most righteous man
		
00:32:11 --> 00:32:15
			among you. You know, the one was
the greatest Taqwa everybody was
		
00:32:15 --> 00:32:16
			on that level.
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:23
			It will not improve and increase
in my kingdom, even the slightest.
		
00:32:24 --> 00:32:27
			I have what I have already, I
don't need your worship, I'm doing
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			this for you, because I wanted to
do this.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:33
			So
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:38
			at the end of the day, the
excitement you feel at a worship
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:39
			is a gift from Allah as well.
		
00:32:40 --> 00:32:44
			Right? At any level, it's a gift
from Allah subhanaw taala. And it
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:49
			just indicates that you have now
become essentially a place
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:55
			for the manifestation of Allah's
blessing.
		
00:32:56 --> 00:32:59
			Right? There's different people in
the world, some and some people
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:04
			are just more of a place of show
and manifestation of Allah's
		
00:33:04 --> 00:33:09
			blessing than others. So just
happy that Allah has chosen me to
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			be a manifestation like that.
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:18
			So the for the happiness you have,
is just that you're receiving
		
00:33:18 --> 00:33:23
			Allah's Father and His Son,
because Allah says, We and it's
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			fine to be happy with that because
Allah says you must be inserted
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:31
			unis. Verse 57, or 58, Allah says,
all we father Allah, He will be
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:35
			rahmati he for me, daddy cavallier
For who who are higher minimizing
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:35
			our own
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:41
			what I've seen, he says, say that
with the grace of Allah or by the
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			Grace of Allah and His mercy,
		
00:33:44 --> 00:33:48
			that is what they should be
excited about. If you want to be
		
00:33:48 --> 00:33:51
			happy and joyous about something,
then be happy and joyous by the
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:56
			Grace of Allah, if it comes and
His mercy that is truly something
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00
			to be thankful for, and to be
joyous about and that is much
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			better than what they're gathering
as much better than what they're
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:03
			gathering.
		
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07
			So what exactly is the father of
Allah and what is his Rama?
		
00:34:09 --> 00:34:11
			Allah says, that's what you must
be. That's what you have a right
		
00:34:11 --> 00:34:14
			to be joyous about right? So what
is the funnel of Allah? And what
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:18
			is the prophet of Allah? So what
is what we generally just
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			understand, but here I'm gonna
give you views from different,
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:25
			different other minds to what they
said it was. One view is, Allah's
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:29
			father and grace is his guidance
and his enabling somebody to do
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			what's right, to showing us the
path and then allowing us to do
		
00:34:32 --> 00:34:37
			it. That's his father. And his
Rama is that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:39
			has chosen us and brought us
closer.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:42
			Number two,
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:47
			they all make sense they all it's
just different ways of being the
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:51
			father of Allah is that Allah gave
you Islam, the ability to submit
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:55
			and the Rama is that you have the
Quran
		
00:34:56 --> 00:34:59
			because the Quran provides you the
whole guidance in that regard.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:04
			The another opinion says the
father of Allah is that he has
		
00:35:04 --> 00:35:05
			guided you to the faith.
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:14
			And his Rama is actually paradise.
Others go a bit deeper, deeper.
		
00:35:14 --> 00:35:17
			And they say that his father is
that he's given you the pure
		
00:35:17 --> 00:35:18
			understanding
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:23
			of evidence is for Tawheed that
you've got a pure understanding of
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:27
			that. So you are fully
monotheistic, you don't do shit,
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30
			even with yourself with Allah
subhanaw taala.
		
00:35:32 --> 00:35:38
			And there's number of other
opinions. So that is essentially
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:44
			the where we need to be. And
hopefully, that, now that you see,
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			if you want to get anywhere, you
have to have a knowledge if you
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:51
			don't know a place exist, that is
so beautiful, you won't ever
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:54
			unless you stumble upon it. And
some people Allah does, if they
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:57
			don't even notice, Allah just
gives it to them very few people.
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:01
			But for the rest of us, we need to
know about it. Everything starts
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:05
			with oil, with knowledge, if you
did, if we didn't know these three
		
00:36:05 --> 00:36:10
			levels, we'd be satisfied where we
are at the basic levels. And they
		
00:36:10 --> 00:36:12
			realize, hey, there's a lot more
products here, you know, you've
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:15
			got a really great jacket. Right?
Because everybody's talking about
		
00:36:15 --> 00:36:18
			the you got the basic level. And
somebody says, Oh, there's some
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			higher levels, you know, there's
we can get more customization and
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:25
			then like, oh, that opens up your
eyes for the dunya right. So same
		
00:36:25 --> 00:36:29
			thing with the Ashira with Allah
subhanaw taala. Now let us read to
		
00:36:29 --> 00:36:31
			you how Sheikh Abdullah Bongo, he
explains it.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:34
			He says
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:39
			remember that this was let not
obedience make you joyous because
		
00:36:39 --> 00:36:41
			it comes from you, but rather be
joyous over it becomes it comes
		
00:36:41 --> 00:36:46

grace of God and His mercy is that
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:50

exhilaration and feels proud of
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:57
			his acts of worship, thinking that
he has rendered these by virtue of
		
00:36:57 --> 00:37:01
			his own choice and will then he
will be guilty of displaying
		
00:37:01 --> 00:37:05

00:37:17 --> 00:37:21
			to render this deed by virtue of
Allah's grace, mercy and aid.
		
00:37:22 --> 00:37:26
			That's why he expressed his
gratitude to Allah Most High, who
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:28
			enabled him to execute the deed of
virtue.

			And once you learn Shakur, and
once you learn that Allah is

his reality and to feed He's given
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01

have given us, we sometimes even
		
00:41:19 --> 00:41:24

just a little decision you have to

			take for us it's a lifelong toil
and and struggle of Allah make it
		
00:41:42 --> 00:41:46
			easy for us and grant us Apphia
and grant us protection from the
		
00:41:46 --> 00:41:49

Hamdulillah.
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:24
			The point of a lecture is to
encourage people to act to get
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:29
			further and inspiration and
encouragement, persuasion. The
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:33
			next step is to actually start
learning seriously to read books
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:36
			to take on a subject of Islam and
to understand all the subjects of
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:40
			Islam at least at the basic level,
so that we can become more aware
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:44
			of what our deen wants from us.
And that's why we started Rayyan
		
00:42:44 --> 00:42:49
			courses so that you can actually
take organize lectures on demand
		
00:42:49 --> 00:42:52
			whenever you have free time,
especially for example, the
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:56
			Islamic essentials course that we
have on there, the Islamic
		
00:42:56 --> 00:43:01
			essentials certificate which you
take 20 Short modules and at the
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:06
			end of that inshallah you will
have gotten the basics of most of
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:09
			the most important topics in Islam
and you'll feel a lot more
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			confident. You don't have to leave
lectures behind you can continue
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:14
			to live, you know to listen to
lectures, but you need to have
		
00:43:14 --> 00:43:18
			this more sustained study as well.
JazakAllah Heron salaam aleikum wa
		
00:43:18 --> 00:43:19
			rahmatullah wa barakato.
