we start with a few verses of the Quran
that are like a lady Jaya. ILF is Ebola Oh geography has your origin

We are unsuitable for con.
Some of the most well known verses of Surah Al Furqan. Well knows
verses of the Quran and you would have heard them in a number of
lectures probably before as well.
From verse 61 onwards, actually the story starts a bit before
that. Verse 58, Allah subhanho wa Taala says, Whatever kill al Hi ru
le de la jolla Moute was a bit behind the work FOB b2b arriba de
hubiera.
So
rely on the living one, rely on the EverLiving one
who doesn't die?
Who is the one that lives and never dies? Allah subhanaw taala.
So that's a characteristic of Allah and glorify him with his
praise. Glorify him with his praise. Do this be with him, and
so praise Him and glorify him.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala is well aware, sufficiently aware of
the sins of His servants.
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala describes himself a bit more, he's
the one who created the heavens and earth, and everything that's
in between in six days. And then he did sdwa on the arch and a rock
man.
He is the rock man.
He is the Most Merciful One.
And then, in the next verse, it says, when it said to them, to
prostrate to the Most Merciful One, they say, Well, Mr. Rahman,
what is this Rahman
they, they're saying this
in a sarcastic way.
They knew Allah, that name was there. But the other names of
Allah subhana wa, tada. We're not necessarily all well known, or
known by them. So that's why they say Walmart ramen.
What is this Rama and Rama and as you know, after Allah is probably
one of the greatest names, the Most Merciful in a very intense,
very, very unique expression of mercy is disgusting Rama, and it's
no not no normal word. It's a very special word in such a way that
you can't call somebody Ramadan. So my name is Abdul Rahman. I'm
very proud of that name, because it means a rough man Cabinda the
slave of the Most Merciful One may Allah make us of the merciful
ones. Give us some of the characteristic, but some people to
shorten Sal Rahman.
And you can't see that
there's some mystery, which is mosquito ramen, say, I'm going to
ramen, you're not going to run? Well, I mean, I guess maybe you
are going to run you are going to Allah.
So you have to be careful with the names of Allah. I just want to
clarify something about the names of Allah that the 99 names that we
have.
Only some of them. You can't keep for people. The others you can.
Right. So ramen is one of them. It's unique to Allah. But for
example, Rahim you can have somebody's name. Somebody else's
name is Rahim as well. You don't have to have Abdul Rahim. Likewise
Melek just means sovereign. Allah is the greatest king and
sovereign, but you can have other kings on lower level
So likewise, majority of the names can be used for others and you
don't need to add with them.
On the discussion of names, we should be very careful how we name
people. Because name, you know, when somebody's calling me, Abdul
Rahman, Abdul Rahman, somebody's name is silent, silent, silent.
somebody's name is
Mohammed,
Mohammed,
my full harfield. I believe there's an effect in that. That's
why the Prophet salallahu Salam used to change bad names to good
names. If there was no effect in a name, and it's just the name is
just the label a name is not just the label.
Right.
I believe there's something subliminal about it, that when you
constantly saying silent, silent Saudi Insha Allah, there's Salah
there. There's piety and goodness, that will come about there.
Right. So that's why I don't think of names that are going to become
the next YouTube sensation.
I need to find the most exotic name so they can become a star.
That's what some people do nowadays, because it's all about
branding, isn't it? So we get calls, they find the weirdest
names. I say, can you tell us what this means? I look, it's not from
Arabic. It's from Ethiopian. Seriously, one name? I forget the
name it was it was from Ethiopian. I said, so there's nothing wrong
with keeping an Ethiopian name. But you know, what are you trying
to achieve? So you have to be very careful about the way you call
what you call your children. And in England, since we're living in
a non Muslim country, in different culture, non Arabs, right. A lot
of our names are very difficult to pronounce for people and sometimes
they make a big mess of them.
And the name changes the meaning changes, and sometimes becomes
really a bad meaning sometimes as well.
It should really be careful about what you're going to make find
easy names, not complicated names, so that people will say them
properly. Right.
So Eunice is quite easy, even though you managed to mess it up a
bit, right? But it's easy. You're gonna get it right from now on.
You're never gonna say Eunice again. Okay. Okay, Eunice, Min
Tunis.
There's a famous Yunus in France. He's from Tunisia. So they call
him Yunus mean Tunis.
So that's not Yunus mean Tunis, okay.
Okay, so they used to, they used to make fun of Allah subhanaw
taala. So now Allah subhanaw taala after describing himself and
giving characteristics about himself
that's a such diverse so I didn't read it in Arabic didn't make it
obligatory on you. After that, Allah subhanho wa taala. He says,
the baraka, Lidija Isla Vista mighty brugia. All of these verses
are to show what Allah subhanho wa Taala does in the heavens and
earth. Bless it is he who has
put these mansions in the heavens
and the Suraj, which is the Lenten will come around money era
and the stars, the illuminated stars, he's the one who makes the
day and night, that discussion. So Allah subhanaw taala describes
himself first because they're wondering what is ramen? So Allah
tells them what ramen is, and what he does. Now the next part is very
important for us, which is because we believe in our ramen. Next part
is important, He then tells us, who is it? Who are the real Allah,
the ramen
is such a powerful name, and it's such a powerful entity, Allah
subhanaw taala is very, very powerful. So what is his effects
going to be on the people?
How should people be to be his slaves? So remember, he Allah
subhanaw taala is saying to the non Muslims who are challenging
the name Rahman as well, and the concept of God, because they did
Sheikh in those days they
they made partners with Allah subhanaw taala. So here Allah is
showing how the effect of Allah is even on his slaves, that the
slaves become special and all the points mentioned. In the next 12
or so verses, they are the characteristics of the most
beautiful person of the true insan the true human being.
So Allah subhanho wa Taala then starts and he says, we're a bird
or Ronnie.
And the first characteristic mentioned here of ramen is
Alladhina M Chu and Adela will be Hona those who work
with humility on the earth. Now that's really interesting. Allah
subhana wa Tada. The focus is not just to say that walk humbly,
don't walk arrogantly. The focus is don't be arrogant. Don't be a
show off.
Don't
boast and have pride, but be humble and express humility
altogether. So why mentioned how they work?
Because when somebody is sitting there sometimes, you know, these
are all internal traits, especially humility and arrogance
is is an internal trait. It's a feeling in the mind, right? I feel
better than somebody else. I think everybody else is low, despicable,
humiliated, disgraced individuals, I am superior, it's a thought in
the mind.
Right? It's a thought in the mind. However,
it is such a powerful and negative characteristic that it will become
manifest in our behavior.
Arrogant people, you can tell the arrogance from the different ways
they move around, the way they sit, the way they walk, especially
the way they walk. Arrogant people, they walk with a dominance
with a superiority complex, they walk as though they own the earth,
that everybody is a slave to them. Everybody is below them and
beneath them. So that's why Allah subhanaw taala describes it in
this way. Just to give an example that those who walk calmly that's
why those people who are humble, they walk calmly. And you can tell
by behavior, about Imam Abu Hanifa, one of the scholars
observation after seeing him he said that he's so intelligent.
He is so intelligent, that you can even tell that by the way, he sits
down and by the way he stands, what kind of intelligence is that
Subhanallah like, he is so intelligent, that even the way he
sits, like when you observe somebody, the way they sit, the
way they stand, you can tell how intelligent they are. A lot of the
time, you know, when you're so used to somebody, then everything
becomes just normal. But when you go on a journey, or when you go to
a new place and you meet a new person, there will be something
about them.
Because they new people to you. You're seeing them for the first
time. There's going to be something about them that will
give you an idea of how they are the way they come in the way they
are so dignified. I generally see this in hedge when you go with
people and hedge and you're living in Minot together MENA is a very
stressful time. It's a huge pressure. When you're living in
one cupboard space, generally in those tents, and Masha Allah, then
everybody's true character comes out And subhanAllah some people
you see they have this amazing humility, you can tell by just the
way they are the place they choose, the way they lay
everything out. It's amazing, because that's who we are. We are
we generally express what's inside us. Right? We can maybe hide it
for a short time a few times. But eventually it has to come out
especially in a journey. That's why Yemenis, they generally I
don't know if they still do this, but it's a culture among some
Yemenis to take their future son in law to ombre with them before
they get married.
Right? Because what's my subconscious potential data?
Right? Everything is known through that. Right? When you take
somebody on a journey in when you're traveling a stressful
situation, so that's when your true self comes out how dignified
you are, what you take with you, are you considered a considerate
of others and things like that. So working is really important out
some people Subhanallah I mean, they might think
that I'm not arrogant, but I may walk arrogantly,
you know, Allahu Allah, if that's the case, but humility is
important. At the end of the day, the earth Yoma is going to have to
be another Bucha ohada. The earth is smart. From our modern
understanding the earth is smart. Smart means it has its own
intelligence. It has its own sense, as Allah tells us in the
Quran, the Day when the earth will reveal its news. reveal its
information, its data.
This was so difficult to understand before this verse was
so difficult to understand before, but now when your little phone and
we know this now, where Google literally takes everything,
every statement you made in there, every button you pressed, and how
your phone was where you were, it's all recorded Subhanallah
these chips have been available from before Allah subhanaw taala
had these chips
and the earth everywhere we walked. That's why they say pray
in different places so that the earth will bear witness for you as
well. Right, because the earth will remember you will forget
where we have been. But on the Day of Judgment, Allah will have the
earth reveal everything.
We have 20 proofs against us on the Day of Judgment the earth will
speak for Silla Murphy's Sudol the hearts that will
will be revealed whatever's in the hearts, the angels, they will have
a record as well. There's no way to escape on Day of Judgment. You
can't say that I'm going to be misjudged, I'm going to be
oppressed. And I've got the wrong you know, I've got the wrong
judgment. No, there's too many witnesses, then the limbs will
speak as well.
Allah subhanho wa Taala speaks about the limbs, the body
speaking.
Allah says that we will say to our limbs, Lima Shahid, to Marlena,
why are you bearing witness against us? Like, if my hand
speaks and say, Why are you bearing witness against me?
Callooh and takana Hola. Hola, the undock ocular che Allah made a
speak. So that's why there's no getting away on that day. But this
concept of Smart Objects is old. Right? It's just now we're seeing
it in action.
What whatever, whatever, who will this is the second the second
thing. And this is really important. If we can do this
inshallah we can avoid so many arguments and petty conflicts. Why
the hot tub Umoja, Hironaka Lu Salama, when they come across the
ignorant ones. Now ignorant ones here doesn't mean somebody who
doesn't know the way he's jarhead he doesn't know the way let me
tell you the way of how to get to the masjid. Now, this ignorant one
is the one who acts ignorantly and in a silly way in a foolish way to
waste somebody's time, or to just create a conflict for nothing. A
dignified person is called LU Salama. Look at the beautiful way
Allah subhanaw. Taala said is that it's the one who will in a
dignified way.
Just avert the situation as salaam alaikum, Brother, no problem and I
want equal Brother, let's carry on.
It's somebody who understands this, this is very difficult,
especially if you're a bit frustrated. You're angry, you're
late, you're stressed and you're driving. And somebody says
something or somebody doesn't say anything verbally, but they do
something with their car in front of you.
Do we is the first thing that we do? Do we swear? Do we say
something bad to them? That's not Salama, right, Salam and needs to
be done in a dignified way somebody who knows the purpose of
his life. So the reason why we do this is because we can easily
engage. If you've got nothing better to do, you can go and argue
with somebody.
Right? You'll pass your time. Some people love arguing. That's their
nature, they love to argue they can argue with you all day, all
night, they won't get tired. They thrive on that.
But this is a very dignified response. Look, I got no time for
this. This is not what I'm going to do. So they defuse the
situation and they move on because they've got better things to do.
They've got more useful things to do. The Prophet sallallahu Sallam
told us about this for Ramadan. He said, If you're approached by an
ignorant person in Ramadan, or you know for some kind of argument, or
some kind of debate or some kind of conflict, or whatever it is,
just say I'm fasting.
Now, it depends on how you say it as well. I remember there's one
brother who used to be in our community in another country. And
there was an issue between two between him and somebody else. So
the other person came to him after Jumar and he said, Brother in
Salam Alaikum I'm fasting. So he was trying to follow literally the
Quran. I think a Salah in the Europa Hill, a Salam Alikum Europa
hill
I don't think that's the perspective is not to make it
worse because that guy is going to get even more or you think I'm one
of the jungles of the Quran now. Maybe you are but you know,
they're gonna start you're calling me Joe Hill, you know, like the
Quran says Joe Hill, right?
So of course you can say I'm fasting brother, we're not going
to discuss these issues we can discuss after Ramadan
because Ramadan is not a time to deal with these kinds of disputed
issues, right. So now these are all different, some of these
characteristics are personal, some of these characteristics or
social, some of these characteristics are physical.
Allah subhanaw taala wants to give a very rounded way of who the
servants of Allah okay. And in a short time, we can only give a
brief description, right we only have a short time we got a brief
brief discussion, otherwise Masha Allah, Allah might have given big
discussions and each one of these subjects on their own. Okay, the
third point, Allah says, well leadin ARB tuna there'll be him.
So Jaden Wakayama. These are people who spend the night a
portion of their night
in frustration, and standing for their Lord, standing and
frustration that means, of course, in Sadat in tahajjud for the Lord,
and mashallah, while it might be difficult to do this, because Fajr
is day, throughout the year we pray Fudger right. If you know
that's the minimum we do, the hygiene is difficult for most
people, right? So in the normal days, we pray Fajr Fajr starts at
the Islamic day. That's why our fast begins at sube which means
the true Dawn
That's morning now.
That's morning now and that's why in many countries you may have
seen I've seen in India when I went there about 2030 years ago
that even those people who didn't pray Fajr got up. They didn't pray
but they they started. In England, it's a bit strange because our day
starts at four.
The Fudger starts at sometimes 115 According to some calendars in
summer, and otherwise it starts you know, otherwise you get
sunrise at what is it eight o'clock or something in the
morning, so it's really confusing. Mashallah, when you get closer to
the equator, like in Asia, and in Saudi, the fluctuation is just
very less like in Sri Lanka, which is quite close. I think the time
only means half an hour. That's it a short time only half an hour and
it's easier there. Because you can have a routine in England is very
difficult to have a routine for your time is strange time from
four o'clock down to eight o'clock, when you wake up when you
go back to sleep, Allah make it easy for us but in sha Allah will
get rewarded for the difficulty. So these people they spend their
nights in doing that. So this is their personal time with Allah
subhanho wa taala. The first point was social of how we walk on the
ground, and physical and
social interaction. Now this is personal. These are people who
have humility. See, it carries on from the one who walks humbly
these are the people who are praying in the darkness of the
night, in their own place where they can't show off to anyone.
You know, there's people who do tahajjud nobody ever knows because
it's done in the house. It's done in the home in their room
it's Ramadan right now, and these are now times when you can
actually spend part of the night because we wake up for so you're
gonna those days when you know, the last few years was such that
you could actually spend the whole night there were many people you
know, especially if you did the early soul, that from Maghrib to
Fajr you had the same will do and you were literally in worship
because there was no time to do anything else. Iftar and then some
Quran reading taraweeh after taraweeh if you are lucky, you get
some Tahajjud prayer to support and that's it back to Fraser
right. Those are beautiful days Mashallah. They've gone now. Now
we have to wait another 30 years for them. But hamdulillah May
Allah accept from us then.
Now I see. Allah then says well Marina yaku Luna bursary fund fan,
either by Jehan in other bahagia Anna harana,
those who say our Lord, this is the dua they make, turn away from
us the punishment of hellfire. So they're worried about the
hereafter. They're not people of just the world. They're worried
they they are believers in the hereafter. Say Allah subhanaw
taala didn't say those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, he
described the actions of people who believe in Allah and the Last
Day, that these are the actions of people who are believers.
So they worried about the Hereafter. And then they say that
the suffering the punishment of the Hereafter, is a major
suffering.
The word Haram is used in different meanings. It means
something that sticks to something that constantly is with something
else. That's why they use this word as a debt, a burden. You
know, when you have a debt, you are constantly in a burden. It's
like you've got a weight on your head, especially if the people are
asking for their money.
You know, imagine if you have to carry a physical burden that's
difficult. Now when you have a debt on your head, and people want
their money and you're struggling to pay it off,
that's a difficult it's like you don't have any weight on your
head, but you have a weight on your head, it's worse than a
physical weight.
That's why the profits the loss, I'm used to make dua for
protection from available to Dane and Carol Rachel,
from
overwhelming debt, you can't manage it. Allah, Allah protect us
from debt. Today people are getting into debt left, right and
center and not just normal debt, but interest bearing debt, haram
debt. Right, just to get a better life
just to get a better life.
And you know, we would have thought that as people are getting
more righteous and more attached to the masjid that this would stop
but people don't think about it too bad.
Of doing this May Allah relieve us this I know house prices are you
know crazy. And may Allah subhanaw taala relieve us of this in sir at
Wooster Koroma karma, what a what an evil place Jahannam is what an
evil place Jahannam is and then it comes back to family issues now.
Generally, well levena either. thokku Willem UserInfo ALEMI co

those
When they spend the they're not wasteful. They're not excessive.
A Seraph means going beyond the limit spending where there is no
need to spend
and spending in the wrong. Three things
going beyond the head beyond the limit. So some tea, some people,
they buy too much extra, and then they throw it away. This is a
major problem in the west where we people are buying too much, and
then they just throw it away.
So one needs to be very careful. If you can't eat something, give
it to someone else. Plan it from before, make use of it. Don't let
your children for example, remove the edges of bread and throw that
away and spoil them like that.
It's not what you do. That's not right. Right, because this is all
sustenance.
And the world is going to suffer because we're doing this too much.
Alright. So when they spend, they don't go over the limit. They
don't spend their money in the Haram. They don't spend it they
don't spend to show off.
And
while I'm Yocto and they also not stingy.
They are a balance between them. They're not stingy. Now, you know
stinginess is a very, very bad character Iftar.
This, this concept of Kata refers to stinginess. stinginess, is
where you don't spend where it's necessary for you to spend. Where
is it necessary for you to spend?
Give me one place where it's necessary for somebody to spend
zakat, right zakat, so, Zakat is necessary sadaqa
is recommended, right. And then spending for your family is also
unnecessary
spending on people who spend on you as mutual gift giving is
recommended. So all of our mentioned that miserliness and
stinginess is when you don't spend where it's wajib to spend,
recommended to spend or socially demanded to spend.
It's a dictate or demand of common decency. This is what people do
for example, everybody gives you a children Ed. Do you know what Ed
is?
One of my fooders but do you know what it is? Or no man? Have you
never got Ed before? Edie is eat gift you get eat gifts don't you?
This guy's so honest, masha Allah Allah blessing
Eid gifts a call ed in some cultures, all right. So
you receive your children receive eat gifts, but you don't give it
to anybody else. You say, Brother, this is better. It's not in the
sunnah to give.
Or you have
people you know, especially in Ramadan, people send you your food
to your home. You don't send anywhere else.
You go to restaurant to eat with your friends.
And
when when you finish the food, and it comes time to pay, you got to
wash your hands.
I'm not giving bad ideas here. Okay, I'm not teaching you bad
things.
You know what? Allah subhanaw taala. What we have to remember is
that Allah subhanaw taala creates us all with different
characteristics.
If you look at, if there's a family of three brothers, and
sisters, they will all be different, there will be some
things, they're all the same. But there will be one will be a bit
more intelligent than the other.
One will be a bit more laid back than the other. Another one will
be a bit more angry than the other. One will be very brave
compared to the others, right? One will be stingy than the other
ones. And Allah gives every one of us and you we can assess
ourselves. Allah gives every one of us some good qualities and some
challenges.
Now we're not sinful for being naturally stingy. If you're
naturally stingy. And you find it difficult to spend just by nature
and some you know like that. You're not sinful for that. You're
sinful when you don't spend where you're supposed to spend.
If you allow that stinginess to stop you from spending, for
example, you don't spend zakat that's haram
where there's mashallah there's a
fundraising for an important place and everybody's crying and they're
giving money and you should I give like if I want to give it to one
that's dangerous.
Or like the
gifts to one another sending food, common decency. Somebody needs
something you're not
willing to share even though you got extra. That's all stinginess.
You see, for women maybe it's it's still bad to stinginess in
anything, right? But for men, it's worse because men have to spend on
women on their wives. You know, in the Sharia, if my children have
their own money from inheritance or something, I can spend their
money on them.
That's my right to do that. I don't have to spend my money I can
spend their money on them.
But if my wife is a millionaire, I still have to spend on her.
It's my obligation of nataka I have to even if she's a
millionaire, can't tell her you spend your money. On the
essentials? Yes, if she wants to luxury items and you spend your
money
you know, it's the really interesting that the wife the
husband is responsible in Sharia even if she's a millionaire, but
for children or anybody if they have their own money, you're not
obligated to spend they can spend of this
so I got a call from some customer and wife they they have a few
problems one big problem was that he's she's saying the husband is
too stingy. So what do you mean? He said, All the furniture is so
old is just about surviving. Like we have to be careful the way you
close the door, otherwise he might fall off. So I spoke to the
husband. Now this is not antique furniture that it's valuable. It's
just you know,
and he said to you works, it works.
Right? I said look, you know, you get a sadaqa to have to if you've
got the money it's sadaqa to you know to spend on your family and
not give people difficulty. And then another thing was that she
wanted she will read she became a bit health conscious so she said I
want to have all I'm asking I want to have organic milk, the normal
milk I think it's bad I don't know she read about this. And organic
milk, maybe it's better. And it cost about 3040 Pence more than
than regular milk. So I spoke to the husband I said look, we need
to sort this out because this is causing big issues. So I said how
much milk do you use a week? So he said this much? So we made a sub?
I made an account I said in a year maximum it's gonna cost you maybe
5060 pounds extra. Why are you causing a conflict because of
this?
Don't be so stingy. And mashallah you know, in terms of our
families, why Allah said don't do extra because a lot of people they
do is rough with their families. They go overboard
but spending on your family you get it sadaqa if I give money to
Gaza I get inshallah reward. If I spend on my family, I have to
anyway, I get rewarded for it. It's a sadaqa
so Allah subhanaw taala is so these are the people who are
they're not stingy and they don't go overboard. They don't show up
with their money either. Well, Levine Allah de Rouen, Amara Allah
healer and now there's a number of things mentioned in this verse.
They do not call to any other deity or object of worship besides
Allah. They don't take anything else as an object of worship. Wala
Yuk Toluna knifes, they don't kill the knifes they don't kill another
human being. They don't commit murder which Allah subhanaw taala
has made haram unless with its right. So in his right would mean
an eye for an eye, you know, a death for a death. And there's
other things which happened in Islamic State. That's the
discussion. Well, ah, yes noon. And they do not commit Zina.
Zina is unfortunately too easy nowadays. The society is so
degenerated in that sense. It's so loose and so
permissive that it's so difficult for people to avoid. There are
many, many marriages which are
on the brink because it's I think it's increasing. I mean, I will
the biller I get so like my husband is committed, how do I
forgive him?
Wives find it very difficult. I mean, wives can do this as well.
I've had cases like that as well, but it's very difficult. It's a
matter of trust. It's a matter of trust. It's a massive betrayal of
trust is not halal.
When the YFL Danica Yelapa, Osama Allah subhanaw taala. You see,
look at this with everything else Allah just mentioned as it moves
on. In this case, when he came to Zina, Allah subhanho wa Taala
decided to say a few additional things as Whoever does this.
They will have sin, they will attain a lot of sin.
And then you can tell Allah is very angry here says you will die
after the whole adab the punishment will be multiplied
on the Day of Judgment, your will TM where your loot fee Mohana and
they will remain in there forever.
Then Allah subhanaw taala is always Allah never condemns
anybody in the Quran. He always gives you a way out the purpose of
the Quran is to read and per heep persuasion and dissuasion always
you will never see somewhere where Allah says they're going to *
and not give away out. There's always when whenever there's
discussion about paradise, there's always going to be a discussion
about punishment, even a small and where there's discussion about
punishment, there's always at least one verse about Tober or
coming back to Allah, it's always like that the balance is always
there. So Allah says, in
an hour, I'm ILA I'm gonna saw the hang out with you but did Allah
who say to him has an ad, Except those who repent and believe
properly and do good deeds. For these people, Allah will actually
turn all of their bad actions into good ones. So all the bad actions
we did which had a balance that will become good now, Allah is
very generous when somebody turns back to him, Allah loves it, and
he gives in abundance.
He gives in abundance. Even the person in hellfire who recognizes
Allah and who says Allah promised X, Y and Zed Allah will relieve
him of hellfire. Right? So Allah loves it, that when a person turns
back to him because they departed from Allah when they did wrong,
what can Allah Hoover for Ramallah reminds people Allah is Most
Forgiving and most Merciful. And then he carries on Rahman Thurber,
what I mean I saw your hand for in the Huya, Tubal illallah, he
matava It's like Allah stop describing the characteristics and
gave this advice in between, and those who do Tober repent to Allah
do good deeds, Allah will accept that over. And then he carries on
with the characteristics. So what leadin eliasch Luna zoo, these are
people who do not give witness, false witness. They don't lie.
They don't give false witness, you know, false witness in this world
spoils the whole society. You can't have justice. You know, in
some countries, Alhamdulillah in this country. I mean, you have
problems everywhere. But at least you have some amount of justice is
very difficult to get away with things. You can't just pay your
way through. Like in some countries, even to get your rights
you have to pay the judge. You know, when they tell you the
stories of this, it's hard to rendering. And that's why there's
no stability. If you want stability in the earth, you have
to have justice because it's through stability that the Earth
functions. Because whenever something becomes imbalanced in
the world, the world goes wrong, you know, the weather and
everything goes wrong. That's why justice is very important. Or even
more rubella, we Maru KERAMA. And when they go by something which is
redundant, which is useless, which is not of any benefits, they go by
nobody. They don't go by dismissively necessary, but they
go by nobly. Again, it's similar to what we said earlier, right,
about dealing with foolish people and so on. And then it says well,
Athena either Dookie Ruby it Robbie him lumea, who already has
some award omiana Those people when they reminded of the Lord
whenever they listen to a Naseeha when they listen to some advice, a
Quranic verse, or Hadith or a lecture or Beyonce or something
like that. They don't jump
on to it in a blind in a deaf and blind way. Now, what does this
mean exactly? This means that they do things in a considered
considered way. Unlike the Mushrikeen. They used to be
indiscriminate. They're the
traditions used to say that you must do this for your God, it
made. They used to just do it in an indiscriminate, blind fanatical
way.
The dean doesn't want us to be fanatical about our faith. He
wants us to be proper on our faith, but not fanatical. So this
is saying that they we do this and we understand what we're doing. We
have belief in what we're doing. We do it in a way which has a good
understanding of our deen, may Allah subhanaw taala allow us to
fulfill our faith in that way. And then the final one is going back
to family life and this is Subhanallah This is includes the
DUA those who say our Lord Hey, Rob burner have Elena I mean as
word you know, we're the RIA Tina Kurata Yun, where Jana Lilith
Tokina Eema, those who say our Lord grant us from our spouses,
and our three year those which are the gladness of our eyes, those
which cool our eyes, and make us Imams of the Moroccan as much
which means spouses so husband can read this for wife or wives wife
can read this for husband, and Maria, what does he really mean in
Arabic? The next word as words means spouses, but what does the
do react mean? This is the amazing thing about this word. It's
amazing, right? I've always found this fascinating. The react means
your descendants, everybody until the day of judgment that will come
from you.
Right? How many of you are grandparents? How many of you have
grandchildren?
Anybody has grandchildren here? Mashallah. How many grandchildren
you have?
Masha Allah Allah bless them all.
Now your five grandchildren, they're just going to multiply,
you can't stop them anymore. It's gonna but they're all going to be
your grandchildren. And then we're going to be gone from this world
and the grandchildren will continue. And if this becomes
accepted, then they will be the gladness of our eyes both in this
world and the hereafter. Inshallah This is an amazing diets and
magical dua. In fact, they say that if you have issues with your
spouse, even if you don't have issues to still read this because
you can always enhance because you're saying that oh Allah make
our spouses and our children and descendants, the coolness of our
eyes, so when we see them, we just like Marcia hamdulillah like, I'm
so lucky, I'm so fortunate. And then the main thing Day of
Judgment, you'll get them and say, This is your great great, great
great grandchild, son or grandson, granddaughter, they did this great
thing in sha Allah, because we don't want Cofer in our
descendants. We don't want the fitna of atheism and all of this
that's going on now in our grandchild we're going to be gone
but who is going to look after them, Allah will look after them.
Make this dua several times a day, multiple times a day. Also,
another thing it says is that if you have issues with your spouse,
or your children, keep reading this dua. Either Allah will remove
their problems, so that it won't bother you anymore. It'll be
removed or he'll make it insignificant that you won't
bother you anymore. Beautiful DUA
and make us Imams of the Moroccan now this Imam doesn't have to be
imam of the masjid Imams of my family. I am an imam in my family.
Everybody every father is an imam. Every mother is an imam in their
family. So we're saying that make us the moms of righteous ones.
That means make my family righteous.
The people I'm in charge of make them righteous. It's a beautiful
dog keep reading this it's a very, very powerful DUA and then Allah
subhanho wa Taala finishes off by saying Willa ecozone and olfactory
Masaba Are you calling if he had to hear there was Salah Salama,
these are the people who will be gifted recompensed, rewarded by
these high chambers, the chambers of Paradise because they did
suffer. All of this stuff requires somebody to realize somebody
doesn't mean just patients in musi but the summer here means
steadfastness as well, constancy all of this is somebody in Arabic,
where you look on if you had to hear there was salam and they will
acquire and receive in the greetings and peace and they will
be in there forever. What a wonderful and beautiful place an
excellent place it is. And then Allah subhana wa Tada finishes
off. That's the end of the description there. And then
there's one more verse and then the surah finishes. May Allah
subhanaw taala make us the true or a bad ramen. We ask Allah subhana
wa Taala for this during this month, let us make a quick dua

god with a crown Allahumma yada yada you bureaucratic and as the

Ramadan Musa, you know,
the point of a lecture is to encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration, and encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level, so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us. And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time, especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we have on the Islamic essentials
certificate, which you take 20 Short modules and at the end of
that inshallah you will have gotten the basics of most of the
most important topics in Islam and you'll feel a lot more confident.
You don't have to leave lectures behind you can continue to live,
you know, to listen to lectures, but you need to have this
more sustained study as well JazakAllah Heron Salaam Alaikum
