The only way to make everything else fade
is to love Allah loves the own love is the only thing that can
make you selfless
and sacrifice everything for your love and blind you to everything
else. That's why shakable has and that's what he said man, a
hyperbola anybody who truly against the love of Allah, He will
not use his limbs except in that which will please Allah because
you do everything for the sake of Your Beloved
one first who hurt one first so who could do her my Fullarton bit
Tara, every breath of His will be considered considered for the sake
of Allah subhanaw taala within obedience
and the reason he's able to do that is because obedience becomes
his food now. That's what he thrives on. It just he just wants
to get that next hit by expressing that Kidner of Allah subhanho wa
Taala that's how he gets his dopamine rush. Ultimately, it's
all about dopamine right if you

To continue with our series on a pinata Atlas Book of Wisdom. Kitab
Hickam, we find ourselves to the page 126
Wisdom number 208.
This is another take on the importance of time.
And how Allah subhanaw taala sees time that's I think what's
important for us to understand that
what exactly is Allah subhanaw taala is intent and objective of
time? And does our understanding of time align with that? Because
if it does, that will hamdulillah then we can actually use it very
beneficially. And fruitfully and it will be an investment. And if
we don't, then we're wasting a lot of time. I guess we know we're
wasting a lot of time anyway. But this will actually at least give
us an understanding of what is expected. Because I don't think
many of us know about this i i was certainly ignorant of this at one
time as well. This is what he says he says how can fill out God human
can call out?
How can fill out God the young kinokawa Welcome our Katella
Younkin Okada Aha.
It is possible to fulfill some obligations at times, that's not a
good translation. thing, what is that Victor Denis translation it
should be it is possible to make up for the rights that are found
and obligated to be done in certain times.
However, it is impossible to fulfill the obligation of the
moment itself.
I'll explain that a bit more. If that's still confusing, for there
is no moment he says wherein Allah does not hold against you a new
obligation or a definitive matter. So how can you fulfill someone
else's obligation when you have not fulfilled God's obligation?
Sounds a bit like a riddle. But what he's saying is that
there are many obligations that we have that come upon us at certain
times. So for example, it's a short time, right now, we've just
performed Isha prayer had we missed it, we could have still
made cover for it.
There's people who have mis press,
they can make cover of it later. And at least it'll be cleaned off
the balance. So that's fine. If you have an obligation to be
fulfilled at a certain time, I need to pay this bill. Okay, you
might be late, but you can still pay it.
fasting in Ramadan, you're supposed to fast. But if you miss
it, you can make it up later on. And at least it's no longer in
your balance. So any kind of obligations that are found within
certain times you can either fulfill them straightaway or if
you do them later, there'll be a bit of penalty, maybe it'll be
disapproved. It'll be reprehensible maybe, but
ultimately, it's fulfilled and your balance is clear again,
back to zero.
But what about the obligation of each time of time itself by the
fact that Allah subhanaw taala has given us that time and he requires
us to do certain things at every moment.
How are we going to feel
We'll fill that because what he's trying to say here in brief is
that, as I explained in the last session, that imagine our life has
units, break them down into as small as you want them. So in
years, you can say 65 years, 75 years, 95 years and break them
down slowly into months, in two weeks, in two minutes, in two
seconds, as much as you want to break it down. Every one of those
moments have an obligation that is attached to that particular time,
from Allah subhanaw taala, by the fact that he has given us that
time.
It's heavy, it's difficult. But Allah subhanaw taala is gracious
Allah subhanho wa Taala is compassionate, Allah subhanaw.
Taala is generous Allah is Clementon forbearing.
That's the only way we survive, to be honest. And we can get some,
hopefully some good treatment in the Hereafter, otherwise, we'd be
in big trouble. So he says that every moment has an obligation
attached to it. And the problem is that if you miss that obligation
of that moment, you can't actually fill it in another time, because
that time already has an obligation.
So when are you going to fulfill it? And how many of these units
are we going to keep?
Without fulfillment? And when can they be fulfilled? Because there
is no time to fulfill them, it's gone, it's gone.
So he said, It's okay, if you've got certain obligations, that
there for certain times, those are fine, they can be fulfilled even
later. But these obligations, when are they going to be fulfilled?
So then he says, putting us on a guilt trip simply, he says, if
once you know that, I said we a lot of us are oblivious of that
fact. But once you know that, then how can you be doing somebody
else's obligation? In the time when it's supposed to be Allah's
obligation?
Essentially, how can we be wasting time doing anything else that we
think is an obligation whether it is an obligation to others or
whether it's just something that we feel we should be doing and
wasting our time with, in place of what Allah wants us to do?
Now with everything that's going on, there's no excitement in life
right now.
With everything that's going on with our brothers and Palestine,
there's actually no excitement life, you have achievements, it
does not feel like an achievement because it gets dampened by the
fact that so many people are being murdered.
So how do you deal with it?
Or going off onto a bit of a tangent, but how do you deal with
that aspect? How do you sleep at night? How do you still continue
to eat?
How do we still continue to function? Well, it's an obligation
for us to function. And to continue our lives, the world
doesn't stop, unfortunately. So we still have to continue our work
and our data, and our survival and so on while being concerned.
But what it does, what it has done, is the only thing that gives
us any sense of accomplishment, or that we're getting somewhere is if
we're being productive.
If we're just gonna go about our normal daily routine at this
point,
that's not we're not offering anything, we're not doing
anything. We're not achieving much. We can't help there. We
can't help here.
We're useless.
If this doesn't drive us to become more productive, that let me try
to do something that will at least provide some other benefits that
will provide some other benefit let me I mean, if you're a
scholar, you're writing something teaching something. If you're not
a scholar, you're doing something you're assisting someone you're
assisting a relief organization, you're collecting some money.
You're studying to make yourself to make ourselves more more
illuminated, more enlightened, more educated,
more closer to our deen, we're doing some more thicker.
We're doing some more Quran reading. We're doing some more
Quran learning.
We're starting some kind of
Islamic learning discussions at home going through a book with our
family, taking a class doing something more rather than just
the daily toil.
How should these issues affect us? Our hands are tied. There's only
so much that we can do.
And there is no satisfaction there is no happiness, there is no joy.
The only thing that will bring us joy, to be honest, so at least
some amount of days that we're doing something at least for
humanity, for Allah, for ourselves to be more prosperous,
to be stronger in faith and stronger Otherwise, otherwise,
otherwise, none of these things will matter. Otherwise, none of
these things will affect us in any way whatsoever.
15 20,000 people dying and so many being maimed and someone doesn't
affect us. And I don't think anything is going to affect us if
it doesn't make us change our life and be more productive. And that
doesn't mean you know, reels of the real of the real of the real
of the real. Looking for that hope, looking for some bit of good
news. It does get a bit exciting when you refer one bit of good
news.
But
that doesn't help. What helps more is actually calling on to Allah
subhanaw taala and making a difference.
Making a difference by educating ourselves more and practicing
more. Otherwise, how can you sleep? How can we enjoy our food
and eat.
So
ultimately, it ties in with what we're speaking about today.
Because it's about not wasting, because our clock is ticking.
Those units are just being used up, we're using and they don't
roll over, they just being used up. When the final time comes, the
contract will expire will be finished, will be gone.
And we move on to the next life. There is another life to come.
There is definitely another life to come.
I was speaking to a guy called Espen Norwegian guy on my flight
to Norway last week, we just got speaking. And I said look,
ultimately, this is what we believe in. We believe in an
afterlife. That's why if it wasn't for that we'd be really
struggling.
As I said to him, I said that if somebody has pain in this world
for 10 years, five years, 10 years, lots of pain, miserable
life. If you didn't have a belief in the Hereafter your life is
messed up. Because it's your one opportunity in this life, there's
nothing to come after it in your opinion. And it was messed up.
Would you get out of that. But if you feel that
every bit of patience, every bit of loss, I'm going to be
compensated for I just need to be patient and steadfast and so on,
then I get something out of that.
Then suddenly your life just takes even though you've got pain
surrounding you, haunting you. But at least mentally you can deal
with it. And you've got something to look forward to. That's an
amazing faculty that Allah has placed in our minds, that Allah
subhanaw taala has given us hope. Hope is a massive now without
paradise, what kind of hope do you have?
Without paradise? What kind of hope do you have? Without the love
of Allah and the care of Allah? What kind of hope? What kind of
genuine hope do you have nothing.
That's why those people survive.
10 family members die and they still got hope they could still
pray to Allah subhanho wa taala. Amazing. They can still keep it
together.
So
what's going on here is
he saying that there are two types of rights one other rights that
are relate to a particular time, but they can be moved and other
ones as we said. So that's where he explains he says,
The first group of rights that he's talking about, which happen
in time, but they're not the rights of the time they happen in
time. That's every obedience that you have that Allah subhanaw taala
has fixed for a certain time, like the five daily prayers, the Sunon,
Makeda, zakat fasting, they will have in within the year within the
week, within the day, they have certain times, if the time is
missed, you can still make them up later on. And while you're going
to be quite a while you're going to be considered maybe a sinner or
negligent or lazy or a person with shortcomings and blameworthiness.
But
it's better to have made them up there not to make them up
completely.
Basically, what he says is bow to Sharia, one woman, Bob, at least
some kinds of evil are better than other kinds of evil, they're
lighter than other kinds of evil. So it's, it would be a worst evil
not to make them up, right.
However, he says what are you going to do about the the rights
of the time itself that can't be done at any cannot be made up at
any time? What is that? Exactly? What is that? What is it that we
supposed to be doing at each moment in time? The fact that
Allah created us, and He sustains us, and we owe him everything
completely. We should actually be considering Allah every moment.
You might think and how do you do that? How do you think of Allah at
every moment? But that's fine, that that part is that at least we
try. Then Allah subhanaw taala will either make that possible or
until then He may forgive us, at least if we try. But if we don't
even know did we know that's the responsibility that we should be
actually diligent and trying to witness Allah and think of Allah
every moment.
The fact that he's given us creation.
We owe him that
We never thought about did we? That's what I'm saying at least
that now that we know about it, our time has suddenly become more
valuable.
That's what he says for here, Morocco, but will help Omar
shahada to it is to be vigilant of Allah. Vigilant of Allah like that
just means observing everything that he wants us to do for though
that each moment of time.
That's what you call Moraga to be vigilant of what he wants from us,
oh, my Shahada two, or even better if you can actually witness
things, that he is behind that he is behind everything.
However, it makes it easier because Allah says in the Quran,
Allah, you can live Allah Who laughs And Allah Azza, Allah
doesn't create a burden on you more than you can bear. So that's
going to be relative to each individual and how much they can
know. But if somebody is completely divided, they don't
even know they need to do this. That's a big problem, isn't it.
So thank the author, that he's enlightened us with this, that at
least we now know the obligation now inshallah we can at least try
to fulfill it for that every moment in sha Allah. He saying
that how the empirical Qaeda work to holla young can cover, these
are such rights that they don't have a cover, they missed the
missed
because the second time that has an exclusive,
right, fixed to that time, which doesn't have a space for any
other, for any other, right to be fulfilled in it.
So he says that there's every moment is worship on you to be
doing something for Allah.
That that that means just before you get scared that what exactly
does that mean, and you give up, that when you're eating, you're
still eating for Allah.
I'm spending the next 10 minute eating.
But I'm doing it. Because Allah wants me to eat and look after
myself, and sustain and nourish myself, he created this food, or
I'm eating because then I need the food so I can actually survive and
do something and do my worship and so on. That that's the right of
that time. Literally, just everything we do connect it to
Allah subhanho wa taala. So we're fulfilling that for Allah.
So it doesn't mean just sit back and do nothing and just think of
Allah because
we'd kill ourselves. If you do meet, that'd be 100 hunger strike,
you're not really even allowed to delay Iftar in fasting, first
thing is only into the sunset. And then after that, you know, as
strong as you are, or whatever it is, you can't carry on. It's my
crew to delay that.
So every moment you need to be doing something for Allah, and
doing something that's going to be in the path of getting close to
Allah or fulfilling an obligation of his or fulfilling the rights of
somebody else that Allah subhanaw taala has told you to fulfill, and
so on and so forth, and so forth. That's why then he says that
if Mermin walked in God do it. Well, Allah here at a coffee he
had kanji eddied Well, Amarone a kid, because every new time that
will now come upon you that is going to have a new right
associated with it, or a matter, a significant matter that is already
found in the forgave a duck of the vehicles ad, that's when he puts
you on a guilt trip and says, How can you now be fulfilling the
rights of others? Unless the rights of Allah then the rights of
Allah, but how can you be fulfilling the rights of anything
else, and missing the right of Allah, you either make it the
right of Allah for the sake of Allah or you don't do it. So
you're sitting there wasting time with no justification.
You're sitting there wasting your time with no justification, that
justification could be that I am going to take these small breaks
to just refresh my mind to maybe look at a documentary. That could
be a justification.
You understand, but hours and hours and hours and hours of
entertaining oneself to death, as humans have never done before in
life. This is a modern idea of humanity.
Right? Because before, if you wanted to entertain yourself for
five days straight, you'd need a whole group of people to play ball
with you. Now you don't need it. You can just there's lots of
people online to do that. But the virtual people to do that, for us
never happened in history, where we're in some really crazy times.
We're in some really crazy times. He says the Amana key this, what
he calls a definite matter. That one is to basically get ourselves
into an understanding that we are the slaves of Allah and He is our
Lord to be present of mind in that time. That's why you know, as I
said, if tied to the current situation, and just this in let
this be a time when we get ourselves. I mean, do we do
anything beyond just
work,
come back, you know, hopefully involved with our family to do
something. And the time the extra time now, what are we doing? In
addition? Are we learning something new? Are we refreshing
our understanding of our faith? Are we revitalizing ourselves? Are
we assisting others? Are we doing anything for anybody else? Oh,
minimum make some money and, and spend in the path of Allah do a
business, it's better for you to go and sell something than to sit
and waste your time on Netflix,
literally can't do a business startup, a business on Amazon,
eBay, whatever it is, okay, and sell something and they use that
money. I mean, to use it on yourself and still be better than
wasting your time watching Netflix. Can you imagine how much
money people could make if they just did a business, instead of
watching Netflix follow those hours.
You can make tons of money when
there's so much you can do, there's so much you just have to
ask Allah to open the path, there's just so much that we can
do. So that's that's that's the point that there is a matter that
is related to each time, which is that you need to understand that
you're a slave of Allah, are you understanding, you're still a
slave of Allah and that ALLAH SubhanA wa, tada, we have to
fulfill the rights of His Lordship.
So if you're going to become heedless, he said, from that new
responsibility in that time, or from your occupation of that new
time of understanding, you are the slave of Allah. And the second
time comes in, that's it, you can't do it anymore. How many
times in the in the hereafter in our records? How much time is
going to be counted as a waste? And how much is going to be
productive? That's a good way to think about it. So that's, that's
the hassle here is that every time has a right, every moment has a
right. And if it goes, there's no color of it. There's no makeup of
it. And that's why the that's why they basically say with regard to
ethics, Islamic ethics is what exactly is Sufism and the solf?
What exactly is that? He says at the soul who adoptable and thus
ultimately when you're in the path of trying to gain closeness to
Allah subhanaw taala, what you're really trying to do is you're
trying to record every breath of yours that it spent for the right
reason, every breath of ours is contributing, is contributing to
something good.
Will have don't have us ductile and fat. This is somebody summary
of what spirituality is, is ductile and fast. We're Hillsdale,
how us is to record your breath and maintain that every breath.
There's something good happening in there or something positive and
protection of our limbs, protection of our limbs. That's
ultimately what the Olia are striving for. And that's when they
become Willie of Allah, when they've, when they have just about
mastered that. That's what we're trying to do.
He says your breath are literally the little moments that are
ticking by. And the way you're going to inhabit those moments in
those breaths is by doing something good, positive,
productive. shakable Abbas al mercy said,
humans have four types of times, four types of states of time that,
you know, any moment of our life, there's, we're going to be in one
of these four situations, right? We're going to be in one of these
four situations. There's no fifth possibility, it's going to be one
of these four. And Allah has given us something for each of these
that if we're in this particular state, this is our responses this,
then this should be our reaction.
The first of them is that we're going to be NEMA be Oberliga. The
first two options is either you're going to be enjoying a bounty or a
gift, or some kind of joy is going to come away. Right? That's the
first one. We're always in between these two, right? The other option
is that we're going through some tests, we're going some through
some, some really difficult time, some adversity, some shortcoming
some weakness, some setback, some disaster, it's going to have to be
one of those, and this world is going to be full of disasters. By
the way, anybody who thinks that they can pass this live without
disasters, they, they they're not in the real world. Nobody,
including the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had a time in this world
where there was no disaster completely. There was no chaos, no
anxiety, Professor Lawson's life was full of anxiety.
It's just what Eman does is, gives you an ability to deal with it
because the hereafter has no anxiety.
Subhanallah
you just you have difficulty but you've got something greater to
look forward to. So there's no so anybody everybody's gonna either
be enjoying some kind of
asperity or they're going to have some kind of difficulty that comes
about. If that means a messed up build that you have to be on the
phone with the company for to try to sort out.
Or something as crazy as that, you know what I'm saying there's going
to be some kind of difficulty, or your car's sensors stopped
working. So you have to take that
your car doesn't lock anymore.
Anything, anything.
And then the second two, he says is taught to no matter see it,
you're either going to be in a state of obedience, or you're
going to be in a state of disobedience. So these are the
four states he talks about, you're either going to be enjoying
something, meaning a bounty of Allah, not your own enjoyment from
the Haram, we're talking about, you're going to be in some kind of
joy from Allah, in general, or you're going to have some kind of
difficulty. And the third one is that you're either going to be
obedient to Allah in that moment, or you're going to be disobedient.
So the last two, they can mix with the first two. So you can have a
calamity and be obedient or disobedient, or you could have a
bounty and be obedient or disobedience. So those two work in
tandem with the other two. Right? These are the four Yeah, I mean,
is there any any case out of this? Yeah, it the adversity doesn't
have to be so bad, it can be worse, it can be stages of that,
but it's still going to be on that spectrum, or it's going to be joy
at some level, something that really excites you, and suddenly
excites you a bit. So ultimately, is just these four options. There
is no fifth option at all of how we're going to be.
So then he says that look.
In each one of these four states, a person has a right associated
with it a responsibility, you can say. So he says, when you're when
you're enjoying some kind of enjoyment, whatever it is minor,
major, great exhilaration, just the basic martial law. Today was a
good day, whatever it is, our job in that time as a believer for the
sake of Allah in that moment, is
a sugar is to thank Allah, which literally means that you're
remembering Allah that thank you Allah for this. Can you see how
we're going to understand how every moment has something that we
can do? So if it's a good moment, thank you, Allah, my heart is just
full of thanks for Allah subhanaw taala. It's your when the heart
wells up in gratitude. Even if you don't say from your tongue, the
heart recognize, you know, when somebody does something really
good for you might not say anything to them, but your heart
just remembers that forever. It just wells up with gratitude. And
it could be that with Allah subhanaw taala. Number two,
whenever it's a difficulty, somebody's let you down.
Somebody's messed you around. Somebody is causing you hassle
your neighbors causing you want to do some building work and your
neighbors just causing you hassle?
Right? Your spouse is causing your problem your children are causing
your father's causing your issue, your mom's causing your issue,
whoever it is, what's our job in the subbrand patience.
Because remember, ultimately, all of these things, they come to an
end, the night ends and the day comes and the brightness of day
comes, the nightmare ends. And sometimes if you're just to
enjoying yourself, and pushing the day has to also end might come
sometimes, right? So then, and then he says, the third one, which
is when you're in obedience, what should you be doing them? Well,
you should be saying that this is a bounty of Allah that Allah is
giving me disability to do this.
And what is our rights and responsibility when it's a Maxia?
When it's a disobedience, then it is essentially getting back to
Allah, trying to uproot it, trying to get away from it. And then
going back to Allah subhanho wa Taala and asking for forgiveness.
That's our responsibility in disobedience. So we could end up
doing something we don't want to do, but then we have to correct
it. And the correction is by seeking forgiveness. That's our
four responsibilities. What are you in right now?
Are you in a time of enjoyment? Are you in adversity? Are you in
obedience? Are you in disobedience, and Let's fulfill
the responsibilities for them. That's why the, there's a hadith
that's related, I wasn't able to find out the exact status of this
head of this, what he calls the narration, but it's very
interesting. Man, OTF Ashoka, whoever is given something, gains
some kind of bounty, and he's thankful what to leave for sober
or is tested, but then he's like a rock he stays clear and realizes
that ultimately, Allah wants me to get somewhere and wants to make me
strong and people are messed up anyway or whatever, you know, and
stay strong. And the sovereign patience was really my first
offer. Or when they oppressed they forgive
for the sake of Allah, when they oppressed, some wrongs them, they
forgive them.
What are the number first stop for and the last one was a makes a
sin, commits a sin does something wrong but then seeks forgiveness
and then promises. According to this, he said he didn't say
anything said whoever does these four things and then he stopped
one of those pregnant pauses. So then they said, Man Who ya rasool
Allah tell us tell us, what does this guy get? Who does this who
fulfills this called Aquila eCola. Who will am Noah who Mata doon.
These are the people who will always remain safe. And they the
guided ones, because they know what to do. They the guided ones,
because they are doing Allah wants us so Allah is going to send
trials away, he will send some joys our way, he will send some
anxieties our way. And we may fall into some disobedience. And if you
and Allah give us Sophie for obedience is just we know we
should know what to do in all of these cases.
So they have Aman and safety in both worlds, the hereafter for
sure. But in this world, because they've managed their mental
stress.
They've managed the whole psychological aspect of it, they
don't break down and not get depressed.
I was just reading a clip, sorry, a blurb from a book that's been
published recently by by a convert who,
who reason he said when he came into Islam, after studying it, he
says most of my depression went away. Most of my depression went
away, lots of things started making a lot more sense.
So
a lot of the time, our
a lot of the time, our stresses and our
what you call
a lot of people when people are depressed, they say you should do
more thicker.
Now Bigger is always helpful, but I don't think that's always the
remedy.
You know what the real remedy is? You need to understand Allah,
then you're thicker makes a lot more sense. And then you know why
things are happening. If your philosophy is wrong, your vicar is
going to have some benefit, but your whole mindset is wrong. I
think the real what you should really be telling people is you
need to read this book.
You need to read a pinata Allah telling us what exactly Allah
wants, and how exactly to watch him and why he does things.
Why he withholds things why he gifts things, what does he want
from our worship? When you get that mindset, right, then it makes
life much easier, rather than just the vicar, vicar with the realm
with knowledge. Proper understanding is what really gets
you somewhere
willing to give more sacrifice than somebody has no
understanding, like, Why should I be doing that for? Why should I be
dying for that?
But if you have the cause, and you know, and you've been taught the
right understanding, you can do anything in this world.
So that's why I said Allah Subhana Allah that those are the people
who are who have safety. In both worlds, they are guided in
dystonia because they've been guided to deal with it in the
right way. That's very important. You know, if we could know what to
do the correct response to everything that happens to us
how wonderful that would be if we knew in hindsight, like you know,
what the future holds? What's the best approach? Should I marry this
person or not? Should I do this business or not? Should I move
here or not? Should I purchase this product or not? Should I say
this or not? If we just knew that would make life would become a lot
more easier
Okay, now he's clarify something which we I've already kind of
clarified it because I didn't want to scare you. But he says that
look know that an ltr might be Haku kill okatie either tema may
occur during Hakuna Matata the Buddha Avirulent vehicle Bashar
for us to fulfill the right of every moment of time for Allah.
That is just about impossible. Like it is extremely difficult to
do that every moment. We never get distracted. Only the Prophet saw
some could do that.
That's why when he came out of the after using the toilet, he would
say wolf Rhonda Kia Allah forgive me, I wasn't able to remember you
actively.
He just felt that deprivation even for that moment and he would come
out and say so. But according for the majority, we says it's just
well nigh impossible. That's why Allah says that's why Allah says
well marketer Allaha caca. They've not been able to fully fully
understand Allah's position. They can't fully fulfill that
obligation.
Amer Abba do Hakkari burden
they'd have not been able to fully devote themselves to the right of
Allah's devotion. Without him, we wouldn't be here. So we owe him
every moment of our time. And that's even less, if you think
about it that way,
when we're out of whoo hoo ha commodified.
So he says that when these these particular rights and
responsibilities and demands of those times are impossible, and
they don't have a possibility of being fulfilled afterwards,
because they're all about every moment, every moment of our
breath, then
the people who will be successful in this regard will be as Allah
says, in Surah Al Baqarah yah, subarea Rahmatullahi Mejia SHA,
Allah will particularly choose people with his mercy wherever he
wishes. May Allah choose us.
Because it's very difficult without that, can you imagine
trying to actively do that? If Allah puts us on jello, you know
that that's what you're going to do then it becomes easy then it's
just Alhamdulillah everything we do is with Allah. But if we have
to actively but the only way we'll Allah will choose us will be
actively show him you want it. We didn't even know this existed. We
don't even know it's an obligation where we're gonna get Thank you
Allah for allowing us to learn this today
SHAEF. That's why some people are able to say an out there's a lot
of people who are able to say this, but not too much. You don't
meet these people too often. Right? One of them said, Monday
we're actually in a Senate and Mahatma Allah called be che en si
wala heeta Allah. For the last 20 years, he can say that only for
the last 20 years. last 20 years. Nothing besides Allah has ever
occurred in my mind.
What a state,
no misery of this world. He's just so in tune with Allah that
whatever happens in it, he's still living the world. They're still
meeting people. They're still eating, they still got family, but
the focus is all for the sake of Allah.
Then shakable Hasson said, man habila Let me start meal Jabari,
who Illa FEMA UEFI boo boo, you are FICO Mahoba, who actually is
telling us how to do this. The way to get through to this is to
increase your love of Allah. Because love is the only thing
that will blind you to everything else. When you love something,
whether that's a car, you don't want to see any other car, when
it's a woman, like for a man, then you don't want to marry anybody
else. Right? If it's a man for a woman you don't want to marry it
is that that is it. There are no other fish in the sea at that
time, you become blinded, right? It's a particular car or a bike
that's in collapse. That's what it is. Right? Whatever you're
interested in, right? So the only way to make everything else fade
is to love Allah loves the own love is the only thing that can
make you selfless
and sacrifice everything for your love and blind you to everything
else. That's why Shaffer will hustle and that's what he said
man, a hyperbola anybody who truly gains the love of Allah, He will
not use his limbs except in that which will please Allah because
you do everything for the sake of Your Beloved
one first of all her one first so who could do her my forgotten bit
Tara every breath of His will be considered considered for the sake
of Allah subhanho wa Taala with an obedience
and the reason he's able to do that is because obedience becomes
his food now. That's what he thrives on. It just, he just wants
to get that next hit by expressing that headnote of Allah subhanaw
taala that's how he gets his dopamine rush. Ultimately, it's
all about dopamine, right? If you look at it that way, so if we can
get our dopamine with Allah by doing those next two cards, or by
doing something for the assistance of Allah, helping somebody for the
sake of Allah, that's it. We've just replaced our dopamine
I don't need to do that anymore.
And they saying that they're such people that if they ultimately
cannot fulfill the love of Allah subhanaw taala they would probably
die. Because that's their food ultimately.
Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad that was a bit heavy
today. Right? Because it seems so difficult to attain. But Allah can
make whatever he wants easy. And it only starts from learning about
it. You can't get an attain something unless you know about
it.
Anything in this world, you never become professional anything until
you first learn about it. Then you take baby steps and then you get
there. So at least we know about it now. May Allah reward the
author. May Allah reward all of those who have made this
facilitated this for us. We're happy with that runner, and Al

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 there, 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 will 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 as local law here in Salaam
