00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa
salatu salam ala say you didn't
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:11
			mousseline while early he was Safi
or the Rocco was seldom at the
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			Sleeman kefir on a laomi Deen a
Mulberry.
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says we're
in Del Rio de Janeiro Matala Hila.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:20
			So
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:26
			if you try to enumerate count and
encompass the bounties of Allah
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			subhanaw taala, you'd be unable to
do so.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31
			Based on this,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:39
			if not, Allah says, and this is
his wisdom or Hickman number 97,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			he says near Madani, mahalo gemo
Judo nine Hoonah near mattoni,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			Maharaja Mojo, Dona and Houma,
what are the liquidly mocha one
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			min Houma, near Matilija, when
they are metal in that.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:59
			What this means is that there are
two graces, essentially graces of
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03
			Allah, there are two graces from
which no being can be separated.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07
			Every being everybody Allah has
created
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:12
			has to have these things. That's
essentially what makes us up. So
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16
			there are two graces from which no
being can be separated, and that
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21
			are inevitable for every creature.
One, the grace of existence. And
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			number two, the grace of
sustenance,
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:29
			the grace of existence, and the
grace of sustenance. Sounds like a
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			very simple idea. And the human
being doesn't really think too
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			much about
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:38
			human beings don't seem to be
really thinking about themselves
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:42
			too much. In the right way. Of
course, we think of ourselves, we
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			think of filling our stomach with
fulfilling our desires, getting a
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:49
			position for ourselves, love for
ourselves, leading to things like
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53
			narcissism and so on, there's no
doubt about that. But in terms of
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			where we came from, our
helplessness, our vulnerability,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:03
			on a normal on a normal day, of
course, when a person is
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			terrified, seems to be under
threat. We go through those kinds
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			of stages and times, sometimes
weaknesses, then we do think a bit
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:14
			about ourselves, and we think to
get some help, but just to think
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			about where we came from, and
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:23
			all the graces that went into
making us who we are, that makes
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			us who we are. So firstly, from
being nothing to coming into some
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			form of existence, but we didn't
just come out and appear in this
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:36
			world. There were many, many very,
very complicated and elaborate
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:41
			stages for which an entire system
and elaborate system has been
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47
			created, to allow us to come and
see the daylight. So very few
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50
			people think about that. And it's
actually when you think about
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			those things that your
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			iman in Allah subhanaw taala
increases.
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:00
			It's about thinking about those
things that you're thanks to Allah
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:06
			and gratitude to Allah becomes
more and increased. And the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:09
			benefit of that is that the more
we know Allah subhanaw taala, the
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:16
			less will be taken by the various
different trials of the world. The
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			antidote to staying away from
problems in this world and fitna
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:23
			in this world, especially when the
talk is about the job and so on,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:29
			and the Messiah, and so on and so
forth. One of the antidotes to
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			that one of the ways to protect
ourselves from that, as the
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			province of Assam has mentioned
the Hadith as well that no every
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:37
			mod mill will be able to see
through these things, a person
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			with true faith, and one of the
things is to increase your
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			understanding of Allah subhanaw
taala. So this is one of those
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			wisdoms that actually explain to
us, give us an understanding of
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:55
			who Allah subhanaw taala is what
he does for us. When you forget
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:56
			where you got everything from,
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:00
			then you think you've done it
yourself.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:04
			A lot of the time somebody may
have given you seed capital, for
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07
			your money for your wealth, they
may have helped you out to move to
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11
			a certain country to move in a
certain area, they may be the one
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:15
			who found you a certain location,
who got you introduced to a
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			certain type of business or a
certain job, who maybe even got
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			you the job, who may have even
hired you. In fact, if you go
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:27
			beyond that, sometimes people even
forget their parents and how much
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30
			they've done for them and other
people and what they've done to
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:34
			them. Because it's easy to do that
once you've set up and once you
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:40
			become confident self reliance,
then we tend to forget it's only
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:43
			the Shakir in. It's only those
with gratitude that keep
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:48
			remembering those that assisted
them even in the beginning. And
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			that's what you call true
servitude. And a person who can't
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			even remember other people who
have benefited them and who can't
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:57
			make the offer them and who can
appreciate them. How are they
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:59
			going to appreciate Allah subhanaw
taala when they can't even see
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			it coming from him. Because Allah
does generally everything from
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:06
			behind the veil. He brings us in
this world, but he brings us
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:07
			through our parents.
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:11
			So essentially, if you thank your
parents for that, he means you,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			you are thanking Allah subhanaw
taala, you would be expected to
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:18
			thank Allah because you're
basically going and following the
		
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21
			causal trainer such that, okay,
these were my initial cause, but
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:25
			then who caused them and so on and
so forth. But if somebody just
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27
			forgets the whole cause, and they
think they are the cause, and
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:31
			their cause stops at them, that I
caused everything, nobody helped
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35
			me with anything, then that means
that it's going to really stop our
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:38
			gratitude. That's why he says,
Look, there are two bounties to
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:44
			graces from which no being no
nothing in existence, can be
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:50
			separated. Everybody's every being
have these two graces, whether
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53
			they believe in non believing,
solid, inanimate, or whatever the
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			case is, and it is necessary for
every being that's coming to being
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			to have them and one is the first
which is the grace of existence.
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:06
			And number two, is the grace of
sustenance. So, if you look at the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			first one, which is the grace of
existence, that essentially means
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:15
			to bring somebody out of
nothingness, absence, avoid an
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:21
			existence, into this abode of
witnessing into this abode of
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:25
			being able to see something and
witness something into this world
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			of creation. From if you want to
take it from the soul, the world
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:32
			of the souls, the universe of the
souls, and Allah created everybody
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:37
			souls to now this world of forms,
that's another way to look at it,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			or from
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			just merely being within the plan
of Allah subhanaw taala, that one
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			day you and I are going to exist.
Allah knew all of these things
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52
			from before, to finally existing
for ourselves. Because when we
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:55
			were just in the knowledge of
Allah, not really existent in the
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:55
			world,
		
00:06:56 --> 00:07:00
			we weren't we when we were only in
the knowledge of Allah, but now
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03
			we're in the knowledge of Allah
and we actually in the outside
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:08
			world, so that's pretty much
existence coming into being then
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			natural in that which he says,
which is the grace of sustenance,
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:18
			him that comes from the word mud.
And mud means to supply to
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:25
			furnish, to provide to facilitate.
So that is Allah subhanho wa
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			taala, taking care of every aspect
of where we came from. Now, you
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:33
			and I were supposed to exist and
have this meeting today, to sit
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			here today and discuss this. So
what Allah subhanaw taala did not
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			for us, obviously, but he created
this entire world. Right for every
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:46
			little instance is going to happen
he's created the entire world, and
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:49
			his whole system of other Malays,
Salem, how are they salaam, their
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:53
			children, and progeny, and
continuing the world until we come
		
00:07:53 --> 00:07:55
			to this day. And until we carry
on,
		
00:07:56 --> 00:08:00
			all of this would, we would not
have been here if all of that had
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:01
			not been here.
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			When you start thinking of it like
that more comprehensively, you
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			start seeing how big is how big of
an idea this is.
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:16
			So these two, these two graces
coming into existence, and then
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:20
			providing for everybody until they
have to depart this world. These
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			are universal graces, everybody
gets them.
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			Muslim, non Muslim, animate
inanimate objects, everybody gets
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:29
			these two graces.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:37
			However, it's only the human being
then that has a very specific type
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:38
			of facility.
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			Which is, Allah combines in them
between two opposites,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			which is basically light and
darkness, fluctuating between
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:55
			light and darkness, softness, and
harshness, gentleness, and
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:56
			harshness.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:03
			So, we have benefited from the
grace the bounty of being given a
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:08
			body and not just remaining a
spirit or just remaining an idea
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:13
			and a plan. So, we have a form and
a body we have masala spirits.
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:16
			Now,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:20
			if you look at this is where we
need to understand this. Why are
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			humans different to every other
creation? Because the two graces
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:26
			that I mentioned earlier, they're
everybody's everybody gets them.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:29
			So what do we get that is more
than anybody else.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:34
			So Allah creates an animal in a
particular way. They don't
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:38
			increase in their knowledge of
Allah subhanaw taala they have a
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:41
			certain amount of knowledge that
has been given to them. And that's
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:46
			what they remain. They do their to
speak in their own way. And that's
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:49
			what they remain. There's no
spiritual ascension for them,
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:53
			apparently, at least according to
some spiritual scholars. Whereas
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:56
			for the human being, what's
different about us is that Allah
		
00:09:56 --> 00:10:00
			did not create us in one state.
And then we will just
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:04
			been flat, passive in that state?
Whatever recognition we had of
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			Allah, that's it. We're not not no
more than that. Right? Now you
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:11
			might think if he gave us a very
high one, and then we left us
		
00:10:11 --> 00:10:13
			there, then that would have been
okay. Because that's the question
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:18
			that came to my mind. But you have
to remember Allah is infinite. So
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:21
			any one state is to less, you can
always you should be able to
		
00:10:21 --> 00:10:25
			increase beyond that because Allah
is infinite. Right? If Allah had
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:28
			just given us one state of
recognition of him and love for
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:32
			him, it was a very high state.
Right, we may be relatively
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			speaking to our time and our state
right now. But at the end of the
		
00:10:35 --> 00:10:37
			day, that be too little, Allah
wanted more for us.
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:39
			So
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44
			he said, you would be deficient.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:50
			Because it's the human being, that
has this amazing ability to get to
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			know Allah more and more and more.
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:57
			Allah has given them the ability
to increase to upgrade like that.
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			That's as much effort you make,
that's how much you can get closer
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:08
			to Allah subhanaw taala and
understand him. So there's a kind
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:13
			of a, that the more recognition we
need of Allah or one time Allah,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			the closer we want, we need to
bring more subtlety in ourselves
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:20
			more gentleness in ourselves more
loving ourselves, and remove the
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:24
			roughness and the darkness. So
every time you remove that, then
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			you get closer to Allah subhanaw
taala. And you ascend in
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			witnessing more of him. And that
is why we have light and darkness
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:34
			within us.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:39
			light of knowledge light of iman.
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:45
			So as much darkness that we remove
by shunning love for the world,
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			the more we remove our desires,
that that's all darkness basic.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			This is actually according to some
scope. This is actually even
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:59
			different to Jin, they don't even
have this much subtlety, and Allah
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:02
			knows best. But this is what some
of the scholars say. Angels for
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:05
			sure they've been created in the
high level of Malefor. But they
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			are passive in that state. Most of
the angels, that's why human
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:11
			beings have the ability to ascend
beyond angels.
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:18
			Allah subhanho wa Taala says, with
regards to the angels Wamena Illa,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:20
			who McCall maloom.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			Right. They there's an they have a
known position, there is a
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:30
			standard position that the angels
have is the human being that can
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			ascend beyond.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:36
			So it's the example that I have no
idea but gifts for the human
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:40
			being. And for the angel is that
the human being is like,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			apparently, there's a black Ruby,
which is supposed to be the best
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			of Ruby is probably the darkest
Ruby is one of the most amazing
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:51
			and rare ones. Every time you
polish it, it actually
		
00:12:52 --> 00:12:57
			becomes much more impressive. And
it shines much more. Its luster
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:01
			increases and enhances. As opposed
to that you've got a glass, you
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:05
			polish it once it's polished. And
that's it. If you keep polishing
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:08
			glass more and more, it can't
Polish beyond that. So Allah
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:12
			subhanaw taala has created a human
being like this amazing, this
		
00:13:12 --> 00:13:17
			amazing gem that it actually
continues to increase in its
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:21
			light, whereas a glass a normal
glass doesn't. And that's angels,
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:24
			Allah straighten them nice, up to
a standard, but they can't
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:30
			increase beyond that. So if a
human being had remained the same
		
00:13:30 --> 00:13:36
			way, either in non existence, or
after coming to existence the same
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:39
			way that we'd been all the time,
they'd be no fluctuation they
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:42
			probably be No, I don't know what
kind of enjoyment they would be
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			either.
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:49
			Allahu Akbar Allah. That's why
also in the hereafter Allah
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:52
			subhanaw taala says about the
angels were Taral Mala you gotta
		
00:13:52 --> 00:13:54
			have Fein. I mean, holy louche.
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:00
			You see the angels, the gathering
around the dash, for the for the
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:03
			for the believers, they've
actually given Allah subhanaw
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:07
			taala has, has given us paradise
to ascend and go higher as well.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:09
			Now, of course,
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			we're talking about those people
who can ascend beyond angels are
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			the very special human beings not
every human being can go beyond
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:19
			the angels because the angels have
a very high MACOM
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:24
			so it's a certain type of human
being, that can go above and
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:27
			ascend and people have a choice to
do that. Some people are given it
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			by Allah subhanaw taala, like the
prophets and so on.
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:33
			Of course the prophets are going
to be superior to the highest
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:36
			level of angels, there is a higher
level of angels in this the normal
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			level of angels, higher level of
angels like Jibreel Elisa, mica
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:44
			Ilari, salaam, Islam, Filati
salah, so the prophets are even
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:49
			higher than them a higher than
these angels, but these close
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:55
			angels that I just mentioned, they
they are, they're obviously higher
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:58
			than those who are just lower than
prophets, those who know Allah
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			subhanaw taala
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			And there's a whole hierarchy like
that.
		
00:15:05 --> 00:15:10
			So Allah subhanaw taala has given
you every person here, right?
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:15
			Allah subhanaw taala has granted
you existence in this world. And
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:16
			then after that
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:25
			ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada has granted
you the love and the compassion so
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:28
			that your goodness can become open
and clear.
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:32
			Your goodness can become evident
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:38
			the grace that Allah subhanaw
taala gives us of sustenance of
		
00:15:38 --> 00:15:41
			continuing to benefit us, there
are two types of that.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:47
			So we've understood that he one is
the grace of bringing us into
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:48
			being.
		
00:15:49 --> 00:15:55
			And number two is to keep
providing us now how does he
		
00:15:55 --> 00:16:00
			provide us and that's in broadly
speaking two ways. Number one is
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03
			the physical, tangible way that
you can feel and see.
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:10
			And that is basically all our body
and flesh and everything that
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:13
			surrounds us that we can feel we
can see we can eat, we can smell,
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:17
			all of that until we die. That's
all the external form, that's all
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:20
			a physical form, the tangible form
that we can feel. There's another
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:24
			way that Allah subhanaw taala
helps us aside from giving us the
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			body, and your garments and your
clothing and your foods. However
		
00:16:28 --> 00:16:31
			cell Allah help us and that is in
a more substantive way that more
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:34
			internal way. And that is
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			the spirit
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:40
			and the conviction and the
knowledge that Allah gives you.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:45
			The knowledge that Allah gives you
the Eman that Allah gives you, the
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:49
			open that what he opens up to make
your iman increase. All of that
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:52
			isn't as enough that is not the
same with everybody. As you can
		
00:16:52 --> 00:16:52
			see.
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			This same one,
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:03
			this type of this type of grace is
given to different categories of
		
00:17:03 --> 00:17:06
			people in different ways, three
different ways. Right. Now let us
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:09
			understand that for ourselves.
Number one, one of the ways is
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:11
			where it doesn't increase or
decrease
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			this ima and conviction, knowledge
of Allah
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:21
			there's one where it does not
increase or decrease and that is
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:24
			what we mentioned earlier for the
angels. Allah has given them a
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:27
			certain amount, and that's where
they stay.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			That's where Allah says when Amina
Illa, Houma calm maloom then
		
00:17:32 --> 00:17:33
			there's the one which doesn't,
		
00:17:35 --> 00:17:39
			that increases and decreases,
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			which is the normal human beings,
we can increase it, we can
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:47
			decrease it depending on how much
effort we put into it. And there
		
00:17:47 --> 00:17:52
			is the one which that increases
and doesn't decrease, which is the
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:57
			the special people that Allah
subhanaw taala has singled out,
		
00:17:57 --> 00:18:01
			which is the prophets, the
messengers, and the great Olia.
		
00:18:02 --> 00:18:06
			Once they've reached a certain
certain stage, they generally
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:09
			don't decrease from there, they
just continue to increase because
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:11
			they've been kind of put on the
train. They've made their way
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			there on the train, and inshallah
they should just continue. May
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:17
			Allah Allah allow us to get to
that level as well.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			So he's basically anybody who
Allah subhanaw taala has taken a
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:25
			special care of which is a Olia.
That's what the word means as
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:27
			well, that he special, especially
taking care of them.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:31
			And basically says that a lot of
people who link to these people
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:33
			will get the benefit of that as
well.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:37
			The baraka and the blessing of
being in that company and of
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:39
			making the same kind of efforts.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			May Allah subhanaw taala give it
to them as well.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:50
			So, let us understand now that why
and how should you recognize
		
00:18:50 --> 00:18:54
			Allah? And how, what does Allah
done for you? Let's open that up
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:56
			for a moment. Because again, it's
something that we don't really
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:01
			think about. Sometimes you read it
in science, and then after that,
		
00:19:01 --> 00:19:03
			you just forget about it. But when
you read in science, you read it
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:09
			as a scientific fact. We don't
read it as a reflective idea. And
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:12
			if it's science in a reflective
way, with some spirituality
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:18
			infused in it, they could probably
get very far. So for example, part
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:21
			of Allah subhanaw taala has
wonderful grace upon us. Now
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:23
			listen to this carefully. Part of
Allah subhanho wa Taala has
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			wonderful grace upon us and very
subtle, very well thought out very
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:34
			error. very elaborate and
complicated, is that he tells us
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:37
			about him so that you could
recognize him.
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:40
			Allah subhanho wa Taala first made
us
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:47
			a drop of fluid, that obviously
was created through a whole system
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:48
			a drop of fluid
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:53
			that Allah subhanaw taala had
placed into the loins
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			of of our forefathers
		
00:19:59 --> 00:20:00
			Allah can
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:03
			kept us preserved because Allah
knew every one that was to come.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:07
			So from the time of other
molybdenum Allah has preserved us,
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:09
			every one of them has been
identified.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			Allah subhanaw taala has continued
to provide us and sustain us
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:20
			through all of those stages, all
the way from our forefathers all
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:22
			the way down until our mother.
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:27
			Finally, Allah subhanaw taala had
us being poured into our mothers.
		
00:20:28 --> 00:20:31
			And again, they Allah subhanaw
taala looks after us in the entire
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:36
			journey of that clot of blood,
that *, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:38
			has looked after it,
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:43
			and made the womb, a suitable
location for that, so that it can
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:48
			sustain it. That is basically
where you are going to grow,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			you're going to be implanted
there, and that is where
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:54
			eventually you are going to grow.
That's where your life will be
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:54
			finally given to you.
		
00:20:57 --> 00:21:00
			Whoever thought about the womb
like that, then Allah subhanaw
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:04
			taala had that clot of blood of
years before he was implanted,
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:08
			connect with the egg.
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:12
			Allah subhanaw taala brings it
together in this wonderful,
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:13
			wonderful way.
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:19
			So that you can basically be born
from that. And that is essentially
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:24
			what Allah subhanaw taala told us
of why people get married, why
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			people come together for the sake
of procreation.
		
00:21:28 --> 00:21:30
			Then after that, Allah subhanaw
taala turned you from this little
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:31
			clot of blood,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:37
			this little cloth of fluid, so you
become suddenly a morsel of flesh.
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:41
			And that becomes now prepared for
what Allah subhanaw taala has
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:42
			planned for you.
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			It's completely conducive, it's
made of material that Allah
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:50
			subhanaw taala will shape into
this wonderful human being. But
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:54
			that's how you start off. Now this
becomes a larger piece of flesh.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:02
			Now what Allah does, is that he
takes this rough, crude piece of
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:06
			flesh, as it seems to be in the
beginning. And he starts to form
		
00:22:06 --> 00:22:10
			from this wonderful limbs that we
have in this perfectly balanced
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:11
			design.
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:19
			So you start, you're near your
fingers, your your head, feet,
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			legs, etc, start appearing.
		
00:22:23 --> 00:22:26
			And then after that, you get to a
certain stage and then Allah
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			subhanaw taala, when he sees that
you're ready to accept the Spirit,
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:35
			he pumps into you the spirit he
blows into the spirit. Then after
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:38
			that with the fluids of the body
that Allah subhanaw taala has set
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:42
			the whole system up to so
wonderfully carry, Allah subhanaw
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:44
			taala starts providing this child
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			starts providing this embryo
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			so that you can be sustained in
there without having to search for
		
00:22:53 --> 00:22:56
			it without having to look for it
is a perfectly automatics
		
00:22:56 --> 00:22:57
			automated system
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:02
			basically leaves you in there
until you can actually move your
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05
			your limbs for yourself and fend
for yourself to a certain degree.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:07
			And
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:12
			your limbs and your body parts
become strong enough. Finally,
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:13
			when they become strong enough,
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:19
			you now can come out. And it's
time for you to appear in this
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:19
			world.
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			Now he wants to show you in this
world, all of his other graces,
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:28
			because the little womb is very
limited in terms of what he can
		
00:23:28 --> 00:23:31
			give you at that time, he's got
much more in store for you. You
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			don't want to stay in the womb for
the rest of your life. There's a
		
00:23:34 --> 00:23:35
			lot more to do in the world.
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:40
			So then, finally, when Allah
subhanaw taala brings you out into
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:41
			this world.
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:47
			He knows obviously that you can't
eat raw foods. You can't chew, you
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			can't do all of these things. You
have no teeth yet.
		
00:23:52 --> 00:23:55
			So then Allah subhanaw taala has
provided for your mother to be
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:58
			able to feed you to nurse you.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:04
			Allah created milk in your mother
so that she can basically feed you
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06
			up to two years ago.
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:12
			Now beyond that, you could have
milk, you can have all of these
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:17
			things. But what is it that makes
the woman suffer like that? And
		
00:24:17 --> 00:24:21
			stay up at nights and wake up at
odd hours and go through the
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:25
			sleepless moments for them to do
that? What is it that makes the
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:28
			father go out and earn a living so
that he can come and provide for
		
00:24:28 --> 00:24:30
			the family to bring up these
children.
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:36
			So then Allah subhanaw taala
provided an environment of feeling
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			and emotion within the mother and
the father to be able to do that.
		
00:24:42 --> 00:24:45
			Some people unfortunately, a few
of minority do lose that feeling
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:50
			because of other substance abuse
or some other weird ideas or other
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:52
			addictions or whatever the case
is, and hence they neglect their
		
00:24:52 --> 00:24:58
			children. Somebody else then takes
care of them in many cases, but if
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			that wasn't there in the Mother,
how could she be
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			All of this pain, why would she do
this for anything else, but Allah
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			wants, in fact, so many people,
they haven't had kids yet. And
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:11
			when they see another kid, they,
their emotions just explodes.
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:16
			They want children. And this is
what Allah has naturally put into
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			the system, otherwise children
would be neglected. But Allah is
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23
			not going to create children in a
neglected fashion, he is going to
		
00:25:23 --> 00:25:27
			create the environment completely
surrounding it. So that's why they
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:31
			say that every time there is no
milk, but the mother her emotion
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:35
			erupts, then that's it, the milk
begins to be produced. It's an
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:36
			amazing system.
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:40
			Then Allah subhanaw taala kept the
parents occupied with trying to
		
00:25:40 --> 00:25:44
			bring you up, assisting in doing
that trying to provide for you,
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			the home, the food, the nurturing,
and everything else.
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:54
			After all of this, he just wants
one thing from us.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:59
			Allah subhanaw taala brings you
into existence. How many times
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:00
			have we thought about these
stages?
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:05
			As in, we do it as a science
project. But after that, we never
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:08
			think about this journey that
we've gone through. And after all
		
00:26:08 --> 00:26:12
			of this, all Allah subhanho wa
Taala has made us now responsible
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:15
			for after doing all of this is
essentially just that you
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			recognize Him as your Lord, the
one who gave you all of this, the
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:24
			one who set this whole system up,
nobody can deny that. Because even
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:27
			the those who deny God, the
atheists, they cannot explain how
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:30
			this whole system came into being.
That's where they get stuck. They
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			can explain how babies are made.
And they can explain how humans
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:36
			come into being and all of the
rest of it. But at the end, this
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:40
			must have started somewhere, as
they said that for you and me to
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:44
			come together today. This whole
system was set up.
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			Right, you might think I'm
insignificant, but you are
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:52
			significant, because Allah wanted
you to be here today. And because
		
00:26:52 --> 00:26:56
			he wanted you to be here today, or
in this world at this time, he set
		
00:26:56 --> 00:26:57
			this whole system up for you.
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			So you're not insignificant.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			And all Allah wants is that just
at least recognize me, for what
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09
			I've done for you. That's all I
want. That's all I need from you.
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:16
			You are absolutely helpless, and
you're ultimately completely
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:17
			dependent upon him.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:24
			Then Allah subhanaw taala made it
necessary for your parents who
		
00:27:24 --> 00:27:29
			look after you until you get old
enough that you can earn for
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:34
			yourself and you can live by
yourself. So he made it necessary
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			to have compassion upon the
children, for every parent.
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:42
			And then also another thing that
Allah did is that because when you
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			are too young, it was when you
were too young.
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:50
			Allah subhanho wa taala. He said
that I'm going to keep you
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			inerrant and infallible until you
reach the age where we can
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:58
			consider you to be responsible. So
he made you might assume he made
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			you like if you died at this
moment, you will not be punished.
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:03
			You're not punishable, you're not
accountable, you're not
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:07
			responsible yet, until your mind
is fully formed. And you can
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:10
			understand things for yourself.
And that is obviously when you
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			become valid, then after that you
become responsible. But then Allah
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:17
			subhanaw taala still continues to
benefit you in various different
		
00:28:17 --> 00:28:20
			ways. And it's actually at this
time when you actually think about
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			it. If you think that one is you
earn money. One is you work hard
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28
			for something and you get it on
there so many times when you
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			haven't done anything for somebody
and you still get something.
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:34
			Right. Where does that come from?
This you can say okay, I worked
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:38
			hard for it. And you don't want to
say okay, how did you work hard,
		
00:28:38 --> 00:28:40
			who told you to work hard, who
gave you the strength to work
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			hard, if you don't want to even
think that back. Just think about
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:46
			those things that you've received
without thinking without working
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			for it. So Allah subhanaw taala
still gives you things and gives
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:55
			you graces until you reach your
old age, che haukur Until you each
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:56
			seniority,
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:01
			then eventually he will bring you
back to Him, you will be buried,
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:04
			you will be resurrected, you will
be gathered in front of him, you
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:06
			will then stand in front of him.
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:11
			Then inshallah He will protect
you. If you've been thankful, then
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:14
			He will protect you from all of
the punishment that awaits there.
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:18
			And he will then enter you into
the place the real abode. Because
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			just like the womb was too small
for what Allah had planned for us.
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:25
			This world is also too small for
the rewards that Allah subhanaw
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:28
			taala wants to give us. And that's
why he's created this paradise on
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:33
			the seventh heaven, which is a
huge place and the least person of
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:37
			paradise, the last person out of
hellfire, right, the biggest
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:40
			sinner in the world who ever lived
among all the nations, not just
		
00:29:40 --> 00:29:44
			this ummah, but all the nations,
he is going to get a Paradise
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			which is 10 times the size of this
world. So there's a huge amount of
		
00:29:47 --> 00:29:51
			space up there, that Allah has
created. So Allah will enter you
		
00:29:51 --> 00:29:55
			into the abode of His rewards.
Then after that, Allah subhanho wa
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:58
			Taala will because you've been
thankful because you had a longing
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			for Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:02
			that you had in this world and you
recognize them, you connected
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:05
			yourself to him. Finally Allah
subhanaw taala will reveal the
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:10
			veil and you will be given the
blessing of the beatific vision.
		
00:30:12 --> 00:30:14
			And then after Allah subhanaw
taala will put you into positions
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:18
			of his earlier and his loved ones.
That's where Allah subhanho wa
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:23
			Taala says in the Quran in surah
Takamura in the key in a fee Jana
		
00:30:23 --> 00:30:27
			to one hour. Fee Maka are the
seeds you can end the Maliki
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:33
			Moqtada that the righteous ones
are going to be in the gardens and
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:36
			the lakes, the springs, the rivers
		
00:30:39 --> 00:30:41
			in the Marika Moqtada.
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43
			So
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:49
			how many of these bounties which
one are you going to focus on I'm
		
00:30:49 --> 00:30:50
			going to do sugar for this one
today.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:55
			I'm going to do sugar for this one
today. And you can spend your
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:59
			whole life and think okay, today
I'm going to do sugar for the
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:04
			gestation periods. Today, I'm
going to do sugar for when the
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:08
			fluids came together. Today I'm
going to do sugar for that
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:11
			sustenance he provided me on that
day in the womb.
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:16
			You can't even break it up like
that, like you need more than a
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:20
			life, to be able to think of all
of these bounties and to thank
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:23
			Allah subhanaw taala for what
might be called Minette Mateen
		
00:31:23 --> 00:31:26
			Fermina Allah because you have to
remember as Allah says, in Surah,
		
00:31:26 --> 00:31:30
			to Nahal any bounty that you have
any grace that you've been given,
		
00:31:30 --> 00:31:33
			it is from Allah subhanaw taala
every grace that you've been
		
00:31:33 --> 00:31:36
			given, is from Allah subhanaw
taala
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:40
			you we are human beings, our job
is to just realize that we can
		
00:31:40 --> 00:31:41
			never come out of the Grace of
Allah.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:47
			We can never be independent and
not meet the Grace of Allah that
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:49
			hey, you just don't need it
anymore. Now you can go by
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:53
			yourself, we are constantly under
the favors of Allah subhanaw
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:54
			taala.
		
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56
			But it's just we don't think about
it.
		
00:32:00 --> 00:32:03
			This, you know, we talked about
the other bounty that Allah gives
		
00:32:03 --> 00:32:06
			us it's not just the physical body
and so on is the name of Iman and
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:10
			so on, is the net metal SN net
metal Islam.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:15
			So Allah subhanaw taala provides
us a support for that.
		
00:32:17 --> 00:32:21
			And the more a person increases in
the Iman and they are keen, that
		
00:32:21 --> 00:32:24
			conviction, conviction is very
important in the man because Iman
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:27
			is the man who believe in a
certain amount, the more you
		
00:32:27 --> 00:32:30
			believe that more intensity, you
believe in those things. The
		
00:32:30 --> 00:32:34
			greater your confidence, your
certainty increases because of the
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:38
			increase in your certainty, the
more you can do, and the more you
		
00:32:38 --> 00:32:43
			fortify yourself against
challenges and against weaknesses,
		
00:32:44 --> 00:32:48
			that inshallah Allah we hope that
Allah will provide us that until
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:49
			the day of judgment.
		
00:32:50 --> 00:32:53
			So there are two graces from which
no being can be separated and that
		
00:32:53 --> 00:32:57
			are inevitable for every creature,
the grace of existence and the
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:00
			grace of sustenance. They're not
then he is not authority, Allah
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:05
			says anima alayka Oh, well, and
Bill IJA Withania and betta whirl
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:09
			him that he bestowed His grace
upon you first, through giving you
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:13
			being and second through
uninterrupted sustenance.
		
00:33:16 --> 00:33:19
			Now, let me just to sum it up, let
me just read to you.
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:22
			Sheikh Abdullah dango his
commentary on this,
		
00:33:23 --> 00:33:26
			the Grace of Allah Most High
limitlessly descend on every
		
00:33:26 --> 00:33:31
			creature, however, there are two
graces to bounties that are common
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:35
			to everything, and the first is
the act of creation. Everything
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:39
			was non existence prior to its
existence. by the generosity of
		
00:33:39 --> 00:33:42
			Allah Most High the gift of
existence was bestowed. He thus
		
00:33:42 --> 00:33:47
			created the object and eliminated
the non existence. Secondly, after
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			coming into existence by way of
creation, everything is wholly
		
00:33:50 --> 00:33:54
			dependent on the aid of Allah Most
High for its endurance, sustenance
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:59
			and continued life in this world.
For this need, it is dependent on
		
00:33:59 --> 00:34:03
			Allah Most High in every moment of
his existence, should Allah Most
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:07
			High withhold his aid, everything
will again return to the state of
		
00:34:07 --> 00:34:10
			non existence, you will just
perish you will wither die away
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:14
			and expire. He has created
different ways and means for the
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:17
			existence of different objects for
examples for animals and humans.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:19
			He has traded water, food, etc.
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:23
			In the second aphorism, we read
the shake now addresses man in
		
00:34:23 --> 00:34:26
			particular. In fact, the address
is directed to the believer whose
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:30
			attention is drawn to his earliest
state of pure non existence, like
		
00:34:30 --> 00:34:34
			think from where you were non
existence, non existent until you
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:37
			became what you are right now,
from which Allah Most High
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:41
			conferred on him on him the grace
of being existence. The believer
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:44
			should thus understand that he is
wholly dependent on Allah Most
		
00:34:44 --> 00:34:48
			High for his existence. Dependent
is therefore man's natural and
		
00:34:48 --> 00:34:52
			inherent attribute which you
should never forget. Secondly, his
		
00:34:52 --> 00:34:54
			every breath and moment
		
00:34:55 --> 00:34:58
			with every breath and moment,
Allah Most time ensures that man
		
00:34:58 --> 00:34:59
			receives his favor.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:03
			necessary for his physical and
spiritual existence. Food
		
00:35:03 --> 00:35:08
			garments, variety of preparations
have, have been and are being
		
00:35:08 --> 00:35:12
			continuously created for a man's
physical existence and survival.
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:15
			For man's physical existence,
Allah Most like constantly sends
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:19
			his aid in an uninterrupted flow.
And without the spiritual aid of
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:22
			Allah, the believer will go
astray. So now he's talking about
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			the spiritual aspect as well. Thus
it has been observed that when
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:30
			Allah Most AI terminates his aid
from certain people, they fall
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:32
			headlong into deviation and voila,
		
00:35:33 --> 00:35:35
			you'll continue to get your
physical foods you might even get
		
00:35:35 --> 00:35:39
			an increase of it. But if Allah
withholds his spiritual aid,
		
00:35:40 --> 00:35:44
			doesn't make you feel like you
need to pray, and so on, then it's
		
00:35:44 --> 00:35:47
			in big trouble. Since it is not
possible for one to be independent
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:52
			from the Lord for even a second.
Why do we then feign independence?
		
00:35:52 --> 00:35:57
			Why do we act independently? Why
they self esteem this wrong out
		
00:35:57 --> 00:36:00
			this this over the top self
esteem?
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:04
			Why this claim of excellence? How
can these claims be correct? You
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:07
			should become a slave keeping in
mind one's origin and refrain from
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:12
			making boastful claims. So we ask
Allah subhanaw taala for Tofik We
		
00:36:12 --> 00:36:16
			ask Allah to allow us to focus on
ourselves and give us that mighty
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:19
			for because that ultimately is
what mattered if it is. Allah
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:23
			strengthen our faith. Allahu
mandocello, Monica salaam develop
		
00:36:23 --> 00:36:26
			their their jewelry with the
Quran. Allah who may or hate you.
		
00:36:26 --> 00:36:32
			Yeah, you know, tikkun olam,
Hannah, and Isla Illa Illa Allah

			Maya, Dean.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:36:48
			We ask You for Your forgiveness.
We ask You for complete
		
00:36:48 --> 00:36:52
			forgiveness for all of our
wrongdoings our transgressions,
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:56
			our mistakes, our shortcomings of
Allah, those sins we remember
		
00:36:56 --> 00:37:00
			especially those that we've
forgotten, of Allah, those that
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:04
			are now part of our life and we no
longer consider them sins anymore.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:09
			Allah we ask that you help us
eradicate them how Allah that You
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:13
			grant us to understanding and
insights of Allah remove those
		
00:37:13 --> 00:37:17
			things that have, oh Allah remove

00:37:17 --> 00:37:21
			have taken the blessing out of our
homes in our lives of Allah that
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:24
			have brought miseries in our
homes, our lives in our
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:27
			communities and societies. Oh
Allah remove those things and
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:31
			forgive those things which have
brought darknesses of Allah which
		
00:37:31 --> 00:37:35
			have taken away the light of
Allah, that have turned brother
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:39
			against brother, sister against
sister of Allah, we ask that You
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:43
			grant us the blessing of Allah
that You grant us from Your
		
00:37:43 --> 00:37:48
			generosity of Allah you have
graced us in many ways of Allah we
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

transgressions, despite our
		
00:38:03 --> 00:38:07
			problems despite our mistakes and
our weaknesses, despite our
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:11
