Hello Hofland Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu

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

was Salam widen Murthy Ramadan in Iran amino li or Safi edge marine

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

from visiting Ireland Neph Hara what is going to cry minimal taco

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

better

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

Allah Marlene Nama and fair enough. You've not applied the law

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

says they have one acre and delta is a total cleric law you're

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

halfway Lika and delta visa Toluca Lake we're in you have where are

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

they coming harder but in Hawaii Alec law you have why they can

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

Delta visa Toluca Lake, we're in nama Johar for de caminhada batil

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

how are they ik

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

it is not feared that the ways leading to Allah be confusing to

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

you. But rather it is feared that passion overcome you.

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

Lie you, it is not feared that the ways leading to Allah be confusing

00:00:56 --> 00:01:00

for you, but rather it is feared that passion overcome you.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

So what the Sheikh is saying here is that

00:01:05 --> 00:01:08

the path leading to Allah is very clear. The Prophet said Allah has

00:01:08 --> 00:01:13

left us very clearly on that path. So the problem is actually not the

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

path or knowing the path. The problem is actually

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

what happens to

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

causes blindness in this path, and thus to stray. And if we think

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

about it, this is exactly the problem we have, we all know

00:01:28 --> 00:01:31

what's right or wrong. But we somehow become blinded to a

00:01:31 --> 00:01:34

certain degree sometimes. And that's why we need constant

00:01:34 --> 00:01:39

reminders. We need to be reminded, that's why when we, when we're

00:01:39 --> 00:01:42

reminded of what we're really supposed to do, we know we've

00:01:42 --> 00:01:46

heard it before. But it almost seems like we're hearing it afresh

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48

because it gives us a renewed

00:01:50 --> 00:01:56

interest in doing it. But that's just ourself refining the path,

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

then we get confused again, then it becomes obscure again. And the

00:02:01 --> 00:02:07

thing which obscures all of this is the shadow and the desire. This

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

is what keeps coming in between.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

So that's what he says here. He says, there's absolutely no doubt

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

that Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:02:15 --> 00:02:16

has very clearly

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

highlighted the path

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

of the soul of reaching him on the tongue of Rasulullah sallallahu

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

alayhi wa sallam.

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

He's told us the main points of the Sharia, the main signpost, the

00:02:34 --> 00:02:36

main milestones.

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

And

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

we know the way to get the UN, he's also given us the lights of

00:02:45 --> 00:02:46

reality.

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53

So the sacred law has been established clearly, and the cover

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

and the rules that are required to strengthen the Iman. And to build

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

it up. They keep clear, the stations have exon, the station,

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

the stations of that a person progresses to get closer to Allah

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

subhanaw taala, even those

00:03:10 --> 00:03:12

have been made clear. So

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam did not leave anything.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:21

That will take us close to Allah subhanaw taala except that he

00:03:21 --> 00:03:24

indicated towards it, he explained it, he mentioned it.

00:03:26 --> 00:03:27

So then there is nothing.

00:03:32 --> 00:03:34

He also mentioned everything that would

00:03:37 --> 00:03:40

deter us from the path that will take us away from the path. He

00:03:40 --> 00:03:43

mentioned those things as well. You want us to have those things.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47

In fact, he spared no efforts in

00:03:48 --> 00:03:49

directing

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

the servants his slaves and mentioning the right path,

00:03:56 --> 00:03:59

clarifying the right path clearing up the right path.

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

And the prophets Allah Lord ism did not leave this world.

00:04:09 --> 00:04:11

The Prophet sallallahu Sallam did not leave this world

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

without making it very clear what the real deal was and what the

00:04:16 --> 00:04:20

correct path in that team was supposed to be.

00:04:21 --> 00:04:25

That's why Allah subhanho wa Taala says Aloma acmella convener come

00:04:25 --> 00:04:30

Wattman to Allah equanimity will lead to local Islam Medina. Today

00:04:30 --> 00:04:31

I've completed your faith.

00:04:32 --> 00:04:33

I have also

00:04:35 --> 00:04:38

completed my favors upon you.

00:04:40 --> 00:04:44

I've also completed my favors upon you at non duality come near my

00:04:44 --> 00:04:48

tea, my favorites I wanted to give upon you. I've given them to you.

00:04:49 --> 00:04:54

So they are available now. And I've am satisfied with Islam as

00:04:54 --> 00:04:59

the dean, Allah subhanho wa Taala then says La ikura huffy, DEEN cut

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

obey Jana rush Domina Li, there should be no compulsion in

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

religion Meaning nobody should be forced to believe. Because the

00:05:08 --> 00:05:13

path of good and the path of falsehood is very clear. So

00:05:13 --> 00:05:17

anybody who has taught anybody who who seeks to find the right path

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

will find it.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:24

So, so many people who've had absolutely no idea about the

00:05:24 --> 00:05:27

faith, whence they had this desire in their heart to find the right

00:05:27 --> 00:05:32

path, they started talking to the Supreme Being with regards to that

00:05:32 --> 00:05:36

they found their way. It's very clear, it's very clear. That's why

00:05:36 --> 00:05:39

the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam also said, Look at doc to

00:05:39 --> 00:05:45

come ll Hanafi. util l Hanafi. It is somehow somehow means something

00:05:45 --> 00:05:52

very clear, blatant. None obscure. And Hannah fear means

00:05:53 --> 00:05:57

pure Tohei pure monotheism to cut away from everything else that

00:05:57 --> 00:06:02

would be distracting and to focus on one Allah subhanaw taala that's

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

Hanafi Ibrahim Ali salaams characteristically always talked

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

about being honey from Muslim and even Muslim Ah, so this is

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

probably salah, some said I have left you on kind of fear somehow

00:06:14 --> 00:06:16

like pure monotheism.

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

In fact, in another version of that hadith says at a military

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

base

00:06:25 --> 00:06:29

but you thought means white, pure clear, Milla, Milla refers to Dean

00:06:30 --> 00:06:36

the pod in the clear Dean Niharika kelela. It's not a dean, which

00:06:36 --> 00:06:40

becomes obscure sometimes, and then sometimes it's bright, and

00:06:40 --> 00:06:45

you can see it, it's days are the same as his nights, it's clear

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

that there is no difference that comes upon it. The difference

00:06:49 --> 00:06:54

comes upon us, even though hydraway El Bulli or the Allahu

00:06:54 --> 00:06:56

Anhu says Atari cool well, the

00:06:58 --> 00:06:59

the path is clear.

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

The path is clear.

00:07:03 --> 00:07:08

What didn't you learn a lesson and the evidence is also sparkling. It

00:07:08 --> 00:07:11

shining it's there for people to see if they want to see it. What

00:07:11 --> 00:07:17

their equalled asthma and the inviter has propagated his message

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

has caused to listen literally a smarter means to cause somebody to

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

hear. So he is there he's to be heard

00:07:25 --> 00:07:29

for matter, hey, you're back the herder in laminal AMA, if there is

00:07:29 --> 00:07:35

any astonishment, if there is any confusion, the higher higher on

00:07:35 --> 00:07:39

person is confused there is no which way to go is lost. So if

00:07:39 --> 00:07:42

there is any behavior like that afterwards, then it can only be

00:07:42 --> 00:07:43

from the blind

00:07:44 --> 00:07:45

because everything is clear.

00:07:47 --> 00:07:51

We're gonna say we're not blind. The blindness is what he will

00:07:51 --> 00:07:52

speak about right now.

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

What some Yatra via Robin will either we're to solely marry your

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

cool Rob you're either way as you know, very pious

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

saint of the past she's she heard once sila * Murray saying man

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

at the manor corral Bob

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

man at the manor corral Bobby Yoshiko and you've to Hello,

00:08:15 --> 00:08:20

whoever persists in knocking at the door, then it will be open for

00:08:20 --> 00:08:22

him, which is truth. I mean, we generally truthful generally

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

truthful, that if you want something and you keep knocking,

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

you keep asking you keep doing what you have to new persist, then

00:08:29 --> 00:08:34

one day, the door will be open for you. And shows persistence. That's

00:08:34 --> 00:08:39

one way to do it. One way to do it, but it looks like she was on a

00:08:39 --> 00:08:44

higher level. So she said that I said to him, above boom have to

00:08:44 --> 00:08:47

when the door is open already.

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

We're under the field. roomin who, but you're running away from the

00:08:51 --> 00:08:52

door.

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

So what about what I mentioned last week, perspective,

00:08:57 --> 00:09:01

perspective and action. The door is open, it's there for anybody to

00:09:01 --> 00:09:02

enter. That's why

00:09:04 --> 00:09:10

Allah subhanaw taala makes the door of Jana, those of Jana eight

00:09:10 --> 00:09:11

doors instead of seven.

00:09:12 --> 00:09:16

And it mentions about the first 70,000 that will enter without any

00:09:16 --> 00:09:20

haste Abu Kitab that they will all enter together. There won't be any

00:09:20 --> 00:09:24

hierarchy among them. It says that the first one will not enter until

00:09:24 --> 00:09:26

the last one will enter this one the Hadith of the Hadith in

00:09:26 --> 00:09:30

Bukhari mentions and what that means is the door is so wide so

00:09:30 --> 00:09:34

big that all of them will enter together. So that's the size of

00:09:34 --> 00:09:37

one door and there's eight of these doors when everything else

00:09:37 --> 00:09:41

in the world is sevens, everything is seven. But when it comes to

00:09:41 --> 00:09:45

those of Jannah Allah adds an extra one just to make it seem

00:09:45 --> 00:09:49

more accessible. So Allah Allah will move to one the tougher Roman

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

who that you run away from it gave a docile Illa MCSA didn't. Puerto

00:09:54 --> 00:09:58

Rico la he uh, what do you call them in? How can you how can you

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

To get to a path, how can you get to your objective? How can you

00:10:04 --> 00:10:10

reach your goal, when you have lost the way, you have lost the

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

way from your first step you took,

00:10:13 --> 00:10:14

going in the wrong direction.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

So that was the robin another way to look at her status, and she

00:10:18 --> 00:10:21

recognizes the issue, she looks at it differently.

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

That's a more optimistic way of looking at it in the sense that

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

it's open, it's my problem, I need to just correct myself and I can

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

get in. The other one is the door is closed, I'm gonna have to keep

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

banging on it, it shouldn't be feared from you, it shouldn't be

00:10:36 --> 00:10:40

feared upon you or muddied, oh, person who is a seeker,

00:10:41 --> 00:10:44

that the path which is going to take you to Allah subhanho wa

00:10:44 --> 00:10:45

Taala

00:10:46 --> 00:10:51

has been made a confusing path for you. Because it is clear, we all

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

know we have to do extra dhikr, we all know we have to be that much

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

more particular and have water, which means you have to be that

00:10:58 --> 00:11:03

more scrupulous in what we look at what we don't look at what we do,

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

what we don't do, what time we wake up, what time what kind of

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

prayer we make, what kind of focus we need to have. All of that is

00:11:09 --> 00:11:13

very, very clear. All of that is very, very clear. That is not

00:11:13 --> 00:11:16

confusing. As we know, we know that's not who is good. Who is

00:11:16 --> 00:11:18

that confusing for everybody knows.

00:11:19 --> 00:11:24

Because it is very clear. What is the problem, though, is when the

00:11:24 --> 00:11:26

hover, which is the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:30

lowly desire, when that will overcome you.

00:11:31 --> 00:11:35

And then for your semnac, where you're a meek, it will make you

00:11:35 --> 00:11:37

death, and it will make you blind.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:42

Sometimes that blindness is to such a degree that even makes us

00:11:42 --> 00:11:47

miss our prayers. Most of the time, we pray, but we don't do

00:11:47 --> 00:11:51

much more. So we restrict ourselves to the obligations, and

00:11:51 --> 00:11:54

we don't do much more. So it's that kind of a thing, it makes us

00:11:54 --> 00:11:58

feel that other things are more important to do that we have to do

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

them, it makes us feel that we don't have enough time.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:07

So we the first thing that will go is this, this is the worst part of

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

it, this is the biggest challenge of it.

00:12:09 --> 00:12:13

Those who even want to try it just makes us feel we don't have enough

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

time we're going through a busy period, because it's I've got a

00:12:15 --> 00:12:21

special project on I've got intense workload at work or exams

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

or something, a wedding came up or something of that nature. So the

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

first thing that has to go is our vicar. That's the first thing that

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

has to go for some reason. So almost as if,

00:12:33 --> 00:12:37

you know, we are independent agents in this world. So that

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

we make a decision of leaving Allah subhanaw taala and our power

00:12:43 --> 00:12:47

with Allah subhanaw taala out, and we'll get everything else done.

00:12:47 --> 00:12:51

And he really think that that's the way to go about it. And we

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

become blinded from the fact that it's Allah Who gives us Baraka in

00:12:54 --> 00:12:59

our time, energy to do what we do that Tofik etc. But we're

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

forgetting that if we leave him aside, then all of this is just

00:13:03 --> 00:13:06

material, this, we're not going to get any kind of achievement

00:13:06 --> 00:13:07

anyway.

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

And then it's difficult to get back on track afterwards.

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

So that's, that's the problem. In fact,

00:13:16 --> 00:13:17

it's

00:13:20 --> 00:13:24

anybody who's trying to work for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala,

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

especially if they're in

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

a vocation of

00:13:28 --> 00:13:31

calling others to Allah subhanaw taala

00:13:32 --> 00:13:34

teaching, preaching,

00:13:35 --> 00:13:40

administrating, whatever it may be, that it seems to be a very

00:13:40 --> 00:13:45

physical mental position. But the effect in there comes from the

00:13:45 --> 00:13:48

power that we should have through the vicar and remembrance of Allah

00:13:48 --> 00:13:52

subhanaw taala. Otherwise, I could be sitting here and speaking to

00:13:52 --> 00:13:57

you all, and although I'm doing the work, I'm saying the words

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

where we're

00:14:01 --> 00:14:03

making the form of this,

00:14:05 --> 00:14:09

that we're, but there's no power behind it, there's no energy

00:14:09 --> 00:14:11

behind it. Because that comes from

00:14:13 --> 00:14:18

a abundant amount of connection to Allah subhanaw taala that's a

00:14:18 --> 00:14:23

personal private thing. Then when we do our work, it has more

00:14:23 --> 00:14:27

energy, it has more Baraka, it has more No, it has more light. So

00:14:27 --> 00:14:31

that's, that's the way this is supposed to work. In anything that

00:14:31 --> 00:14:35

we do. We do our liquor, etc. Our eating,

00:14:36 --> 00:14:43

our study, our work, our tarbiyah of our law, everything will become

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

better because we got the power behind it. Otherwise, it's an

00:14:47 --> 00:14:50

empty, it's all empty. There's no power behind it. There's no

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

significance behind it.

00:14:52 --> 00:14:54

So what causes this

00:14:55 --> 00:14:59

blindness, these blind spots to occur constantly is our desire

00:15:01 --> 00:15:02

And

00:15:03 --> 00:15:07

it's a vicious circle, because if you do liquor, enough liquor, then

00:15:07 --> 00:15:11

it keeps the heart pumping, spiritually. So the desire keeps

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

getting pushed down a moment we leave the vicar for an object for

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

another objective for a while, because it's the first thing we

00:15:18 --> 00:15:22

sacrifice, then the desire comes up, and it just makes it dominates

00:15:22 --> 00:15:24

the heart and it dominates the room. And then it becomes

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

difficult. So this is what we're constantly going through. That's

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

why, if you can't do vicar for one hour, which is your normal, then

00:15:33 --> 00:15:35

do it for 10 minutes, at least.

00:15:37 --> 00:15:41

If your normal is 1015 minutes, then do it for five minutes at

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

least. But at least do something don't ever leave it.

00:15:46 --> 00:15:47

Somebody asked me yesterday that

00:15:49 --> 00:15:50

if I take the 30 and then

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

if I missed the vicar

00:15:54 --> 00:15:55

will I be sinful?

00:15:57 --> 00:16:01

So I said, No, there's no sin in this, though some other Sheikh

00:16:01 --> 00:16:04

told me that if you miss the liquor once you become better than

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

it's sinful. I said, maybe what they're saying is it's sinful, you

00:16:08 --> 00:16:11

know, in the path in the sense, there is no sin. It's a It's not

00:16:11 --> 00:16:15

an obligation, but it will be highly detrimental.

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

But it's not going to be any more detrimental than it is right now

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

when we don't have the vicar anyway.

00:16:23 --> 00:16:25

So sometimes I guess

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

Meshech will say, these exaggerated terms just to keep

00:16:30 --> 00:16:34

people on, because it is a like a form of sin in a sense to yourself

00:16:34 --> 00:16:38

person, not by Sharia, but just by personal personal measure,

00:16:38 --> 00:16:41

personal discipline to do that.

00:16:43 --> 00:16:49

So, I think, for us, the only way to keep regular on our vicar is

00:16:49 --> 00:16:52

probably to think it's a sin, because we don't miss our prayers.

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

You know, we're not sitting you know, we're not at the level where

00:16:58 --> 00:17:01

the first thing to go is our prayers. We do pray, even if you

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

pray him late, delayed last minute, sometimes Kedah, maybe we

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

do make sure we pray that because we have this sense of obligation.

00:17:08 --> 00:17:12

So if we start feeling that the vicar is also as obligatory for

00:17:12 --> 00:17:16

me, you know for us, then it won't go as fast.

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

We'll do it. We don't do it in the morning. We'll do it in the

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

evening. But it has to be done. That gives us the power to sustain

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

ourselves. It's like the food we need if you don't have food. I

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

mean, we don't cut our food first thing is that if you don't eat

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

food, you do feel the pangs of hunger, thirst you may feel

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

emaciated. Same thing when you don't do things but you do feel

00:17:36 --> 00:17:41

the ugliness of the knifes rearing its head, but because that's a

00:17:41 --> 00:17:45

nice feeling. Unfortunately, that's why it doesn't make us do

00:17:45 --> 00:17:45

liquor.

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

It makes us feel regret it makes us feel bad. I know why I'm doing

00:17:51 --> 00:17:55

this. But it's a really weird situation. Whereas with food,

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

nothing else is gonna you know you don't enjoy pangs of hunger. You

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

want to quickly go and get a bite to eat.

00:18:02 --> 00:18:04

So that's the difference between the two

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

in the Hawa Martha Wella usIm Oyasumi.

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

This is

00:18:13 --> 00:18:14

Lucia

00:18:17 --> 00:18:20

Muhammad Musa either Lucy the author of the Buddha he says in

00:18:20 --> 00:18:26

Valhalla, which means this lowly desire Mata wala, when he becomes

00:18:26 --> 00:18:31

the governor, when it starts to govern your Sim we all see me he

00:18:31 --> 00:18:37

will create this blindness this this deafness. So, follow your

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

heart for alayka LT bustle However,

00:18:42 --> 00:18:46

further you have wily coyote bustle, however, let this not be

00:18:46 --> 00:18:51

confusing upon you. Let this not be a fear upon you. Sorry. It's

00:18:51 --> 00:18:56

Huda. The path of guidance has never been made confusing, an

00:18:56 --> 00:18:59

obscure that should never that will never be feared upon you that

00:18:59 --> 00:19:01

will always be there.

00:19:02 --> 00:19:06

What is feared upon you is that you will follow the desires and

00:19:06 --> 00:19:07

thus forget about the guidance.

00:19:09 --> 00:19:14

So the Huck will never be confusing. What will be is the

00:19:14 --> 00:19:17

ignorance is what will cause the problem.

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

And

00:19:22 --> 00:19:26

this the effect of this generally comes about because of the

00:19:26 --> 00:19:27

majority of people we see outside.

00:19:29 --> 00:19:33

This is not to look down upon people. This is just the social

00:19:33 --> 00:19:37

influence. We're in today, axon and Phil are the UD Luca and

00:19:37 --> 00:19:41

Sabine dilla. If you follow the majority of the people outside,

00:19:42 --> 00:19:44

they will take you away from the path they will mislead you they

00:19:44 --> 00:19:48

will misguide you. So the point that is trying to make here is

00:19:48 --> 00:19:52

that we're in this situation with a lot of influence of the majority

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

of people we're going to come across in our lives.

00:19:55 --> 00:19:58

If we don't have the energy to resist that, then we will start

00:19:58 --> 00:19:59

following the trends we will

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

Start following what people talk about what they discuss, we will

00:20:04 --> 00:20:05

also get involved in the same kind of thing.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:10

And this is the reality, isn't it? Why is it that we turn it? If

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

everybody was pious around around us, they were all speaking about

00:20:14 --> 00:20:16

how much the 100 they did that night and they were encouraging

00:20:16 --> 00:20:17

one another of these things.

00:20:18 --> 00:20:23

Why would we get messed up? Then? Why would anybody deviate in that

00:20:23 --> 00:20:28

it has to be really wanting to deviate, to deviate. Because the

00:20:28 --> 00:20:32

society is and humans are social creatures. We learn from others,

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

we influenced by others, you go to work, you go this but then that's

00:20:35 --> 00:20:39

the reality of our life, Allah say, so you can't really change

00:20:39 --> 00:20:42

that reality too much. You know, you can't.

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

Because even in Muslim countries, people are not talking about the

00:20:45 --> 00:20:46

right things.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:52

Those kinds of situations where people started speaking about

00:20:52 --> 00:20:55

piety and so on, have been very few in our history.

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

Those kinds of times. It happened during Omar bin Abdulaziz, this

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

time you mentioned that people were starting to speak about how

00:21:03 --> 00:21:06

many now often pray, they pray, they admit, this was became the

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

discussion, but it only lasted for about two years. You know, some

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

years, you only it was only 30 for 22 years, and four or five months

00:21:13 --> 00:21:18

anyway. So this became after he became the Hadith. But then he was

00:21:18 --> 00:21:20

he was most likely murdered. And then

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

his cousin's they became the Khalifa again and he went back to

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

normal.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:29

So it's only happened a few times. So let's not wait for that utopia.

00:21:29 --> 00:21:34

People. Muslims have in their mind, this utopian ideology of the

00:21:34 --> 00:21:38

Islamic caliphate in a way that they would like it, believe me. If

00:21:38 --> 00:21:42

the Islamic Caliphate what we're seeing, and what we've seen in the

00:21:42 --> 00:21:46

past, I'm not denigrating the caliphate. I'm not denigrating

00:21:46 --> 00:21:50

Muslim rule. There's benefits to that. But don't think that all

00:21:50 --> 00:21:54

Muslim rule will be such a Muslim rule that will allow you to be

00:21:54 --> 00:21:56

pious without any effort on your own.

00:21:57 --> 00:22:01

So Salahuddin Allah UB, look what he did.

00:22:02 --> 00:22:06

He took over Mashallah. And he managed to get Jerusalem and he

00:22:06 --> 00:22:09

consolidated the scattered Muslim.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:15

Lands, he gathered all of them together. And the one rule that a

00:22:15 --> 00:22:18

UBG left it to his inheritance, he passed away at a younger age, he

00:22:18 --> 00:22:21

wasn't so old when he passed away, have two sons, grandchildren, his

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

relatives, and the factions began afterwards again, within you with

00:22:27 --> 00:22:32

nephew against uncle, and so on and so forth. Taking assistance

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

from the Nosara the Christians against his, you know, his

00:22:36 --> 00:22:41

relative things like this, it all started again. So don't think that

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

Khilafah is the answer to everything.

00:22:44 --> 00:22:48

If it was, then we would have an excuse. If it was then it would

00:22:48 --> 00:22:52

have been made such yes, if you do have a Khalifa if you do have a

00:22:52 --> 00:22:55

leader, a Muslim leader, then you must obey him as a prophet Allah,

00:22:55 --> 00:22:58

some said, but when you don't, you still have an obligation to Allah,

00:22:58 --> 00:23:04

Allah is always there. So this idea that a lot of people have,

00:23:04 --> 00:23:07

that they feel a shortcoming.

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

Now feeling a shortcoming is fine, that we don't have an Islamic rule

00:23:12 --> 00:23:17

or when or under Islamic rule. But if that becomes effective, that we

00:23:17 --> 00:23:21

can't do certain aspects of the deen because of that, we can't

00:23:21 --> 00:23:24

fulfill our personal obligation we can't get correct to Allah, that

00:23:24 --> 00:23:25

is a deception of the shaytaan.

00:23:29 --> 00:23:32

And that should not be a deception at all. Because a person can

00:23:32 --> 00:23:35

worship wherever they are, that's how the deen of Allah is that

00:23:35 --> 00:23:38

it's, you can worship.

00:23:39 --> 00:23:43

Then he says another thing he says, fella you have for an acre

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

either more will do the early tactic.

00:23:47 --> 00:23:51

It should also not be feared for you that people have tactic people

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

who have reached the state who are

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

critical in this regard meaning who

00:23:58 --> 00:24:02

who are accomplished in this regard, you won't be found. You

00:24:02 --> 00:24:09

will find such people. But what is feared upon you is Cotto Tarik is

00:24:09 --> 00:24:13

highwayman. People that will rob you have what you have on the way.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:18

This is exactly what's happening. We know the path. We know where it

00:24:18 --> 00:24:21

is, you know what to do. We have people like that. We have many

00:24:21 --> 00:24:26

pious people in our communities. But it's what takes us away and

00:24:27 --> 00:24:31

leaves us. So we're still going on the path we want to but we've just

00:24:31 --> 00:24:34

lost all that Eman that we did because we sidetracked

00:24:35 --> 00:24:40

In fact, these highway robbers are enjoyable to our knifes. That's

00:24:40 --> 00:24:41

the difference here.

00:24:42 --> 00:24:45

We don't realize what we lose because in our loss, we feel

00:24:45 --> 00:24:45

pleasure.

00:24:47 --> 00:24:49

That's how misguiding the NEF says

00:24:51 --> 00:24:54

it makes us feel pleasure in our loss.

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

So what is feared upon you

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

Other highwayman.

00:25:03 --> 00:25:08

What is not feared upon you is that the people of the truth will

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

be hidden. Everybody knows where they are.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:16

What is feared upon you is the absence of truthfulness.

00:25:17 --> 00:25:22

We're not true to our words, fellow Sadako la la corona higher

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

en la home, if they were truthful to Allah.

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

If they worshiped Allah truthfully, with sincerity means

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

with proper truth, that would be superior for them that would be

00:25:34 --> 00:25:36

beneficial, highly beneficial for them, it'd be the most excellent

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

thing. So

00:25:41 --> 00:25:42

the only reason

00:25:43 --> 00:25:49

all of this has been obscured from you the path is because of no

00:25:49 --> 00:25:53

truth on your part. No sincerity on your part. Fellow Hussen davon

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

Nick Kabila he will be only Allah. Laura, Laura for Allah who hijab

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

Urbina Kobina home. If you become completely seeing and your

00:26:03 --> 00:26:09

sincerity, your opinion becomes totally clear with the Olia of

00:26:09 --> 00:26:14

Allah, that this is where I can benefit from and this is the good

00:26:14 --> 00:26:18

that they're giving that Allah will remove the the veils from

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

you. Allah will remove the veils that are in between you and you

00:26:22 --> 00:26:28

will find that they are closer. They will make you closer than

00:26:28 --> 00:26:31

what you're going towards how far you think your journey is, they

00:26:31 --> 00:26:32

will make it closer.

00:26:33 --> 00:26:35

This is the baraka Baraka till Olia is speaking about

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

so

00:26:38 --> 00:26:42

Subhana man Cetara home, if you highly do Hooray him,

00:26:44 --> 00:26:50

purified as he Glorified is He Who has veiled them, despite there

00:26:50 --> 00:26:56

being so evident. And what are the hotter Humphrey Hardy Huffer and

00:26:56 --> 00:27:01

has made them manifest despite them being hidden, meaning it's a

00:27:01 --> 00:27:03

very difficult that's that's the confusing aspect of it.

00:27:06 --> 00:27:07

So in conclusion,

00:27:08 --> 00:27:14

what he's saying is, there is not much to fear of the paths of

00:27:14 --> 00:27:17

worship becoming obscure and confusing for one.

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

Because the Quran, the Hadith and the books of sacred law have

00:27:21 --> 00:27:23

explicitly explained these acts.

00:27:25 --> 00:27:29

The scholars have simplified these with their expositions. There's so

00:27:29 --> 00:27:33

much available so much available, however, they exist, the danger of

00:27:33 --> 00:27:37

passion, lowly desires, that leads to lead to opposing the law.

00:27:38 --> 00:27:42

Overwhelming one at the time of executing the commands of Allah.

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

Such desire will prevent one from obeying the teaching of Allah and

00:27:49 --> 00:27:50

His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:27:52 --> 00:27:56

This is the biggest excuse we hear in the rabita the biggest excuses,

00:27:57 --> 00:28:01

oh, this came up that came up. And because of that, I started to miss

00:28:01 --> 00:28:01

my vicar.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:06

And now I don't know what to do. This is a constant theme. It's not

00:28:06 --> 00:28:08

even surprising. It's the constant theme.

00:28:11 --> 00:28:14

Such desire will prevent one from obeying the teaching of Allah and

00:28:14 --> 00:28:15

His Messenger, sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:21

Thus plunging one interest in becoming proud of the attainment

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

of some bounty, hence forgetting the true benefactor. So all of

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

these things can can do this. Or at the time of calamity, that ego

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

overwhelming one and using an act that conflicts with the law.

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

So to in an act of desperation, not to call upon Allah, but to do

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

something else.

00:28:39 --> 00:28:42

It is therefore of the utmost importance to remain submissive to

00:28:42 --> 00:28:45

Allah to stay in every circumstance and condition and to

00:28:45 --> 00:28:47

suppress the rebellion of the ego.

00:28:51 --> 00:28:52

And then people,

00:28:54 --> 00:28:57

they stopped contacting the sheikh, because they want a good

00:28:57 --> 00:28:58

period, they want

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

a week or two of goodness, before they contact the sheikh. So they

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

don't want to contact the sheikh when they in the slow period. But

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

that's the biggest mistake they're making. The fact that you contact

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

the sheikh just gives you some form of guilt. Or he might say a

00:29:10 --> 00:29:13

few words, and just might help you. But we wait. So we think

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

we'll do it better next week, and then we'll contact him. And then

00:29:17 --> 00:29:19

after he doesn't happen the next week, because we're still in the

00:29:19 --> 00:29:22

same flow, then the next week, and then the next week, and then

00:29:22 --> 00:29:26

sometimes you might get a message from the sheikh, or you might just

00:29:26 --> 00:29:28

suddenly have a really bad point. And then you think, let me contact

00:29:28 --> 00:29:31

him. I feel really bad now. So that's why I regularly just

00:29:31 --> 00:29:35

contact. I didn't do it one hour today, I did it five hours. That's

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

it. The benefit of that is this. People will miss the match list

00:29:39 --> 00:29:43

because of that. And as we said, right in the beginning, when you

00:29:43 --> 00:29:47

take the three, one thing that our Sheikh said as well, is that look,

00:29:47 --> 00:29:48

we're just giving you a prescription.

00:29:49 --> 00:29:52

You can take that prescription and go around the whole world telling

00:29:52 --> 00:29:56

everybody I've got a prescription from the best doctor in town. I've

00:29:56 --> 00:29:59

been to the best hospital. So I'm going to do anything for you.

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

He's helped you out by giving you the prescription now use it. So

00:30:03 --> 00:30:06

usage of the prescription, nobody's going to come to

00:30:06 --> 00:30:06

administrate that.

00:30:08 --> 00:30:11

That has to be administrated by ourselves. And if we lose that

00:30:11 --> 00:30:15

doer, and we don't take it, then the harm will come back, the

00:30:15 --> 00:30:20

disease rears its head, we don't take antibiotics for the number of

00:30:20 --> 00:30:23

days. So what happens with antibiotics is very simple, it's

00:30:23 --> 00:30:26

very clear happens all the time, the doctor will say, make sure you

00:30:26 --> 00:30:29

finish the course, what we do is we've got the wound or we've got

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

the pain, and so on. So we start taking the antibiotics in two

00:30:33 --> 00:30:37

days, it gets a grip over it with through the home of Allah subhanho

00:30:37 --> 00:30:40

wa taala. And we start feeling a bit better. So we think, Oh, I

00:30:40 --> 00:30:42

don't want to take this has got side effects and everything. So we

00:30:42 --> 00:30:45

leave it, you've already you've already taken it, you've already

00:30:45 --> 00:30:48

started now finish the course, because then the germs come back

00:30:48 --> 00:30:53

and they the bacteria, they they overwhelm the antibiotic, and then

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

it just comes back again. So you have to finish it. So you can kill

00:30:56 --> 00:31:00

these germs. Now that antibiotics are five days, seven days, maybe

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

10 days, right, they do their job. Unfortunately, the path we are on

00:31:04 --> 00:31:06

fortunately, unfortunately, however you want to say it takes

00:31:06 --> 00:31:10

many years, sometimes it depends on our diligence, but there is a

00:31:10 --> 00:31:13

path, there is a point where you get to, after which the novice

00:31:13 --> 00:31:16

becomes the ultimate winner, where after that you don't have to worry

00:31:16 --> 00:31:20

as much, it does get easier. But there's a big struggle until then.

00:31:20 --> 00:31:22

And I think the way we have to do that if you have to compare,

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

compare that to the number of years, we've allowed our ego to

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

dominate, it's going to take a long time to clear on that makup

00:31:30 --> 00:31:33

you know, if there's been so much corruption in a society, it's not

00:31:33 --> 00:31:37

it's not going to be cleared in two days, or five days or 10 days,

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

it's going to take years, sometimes months. It just depends

00:31:39 --> 00:31:42

on how effective your strategy is.

00:31:43 --> 00:31:46

But if we've had corruption for many, many years, we still

00:31:46 --> 00:31:48

continue allowing some of that corruption in and we're doing

00:31:48 --> 00:31:50

vicar This is the probably the state of most of us, right? We

00:31:50 --> 00:31:55

allow some of that we're not fully abstinent of it, then it's

00:31:55 --> 00:31:58

continuing to fester. And we're trying to there's a constant

00:31:58 --> 00:32:02

battle if we ever if we're not regular on our victory means that

00:32:02 --> 00:32:06

we haven't dominated in the battle yet. Throughout meaning we

00:32:06 --> 00:32:07

dominate sometimes

00:32:08 --> 00:32:12

the good dominate sometimes but not always. The good should always

00:32:12 --> 00:32:17

dominate even if the evil is allowed to come up a bit. Right

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

but the if the good always dominates and we're so regular on

00:32:20 --> 00:32:26

everything, then then that's a livable situation for for a

00:32:26 --> 00:32:27

certain degree there's still hoping that

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

may Allah subhanaw taala give us the Tofik

00:32:34 --> 00:32:37

lawmen to sit down I'm gonna go sit down to the other agenda God
