Hello how are you Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran

00:00:05 --> 00:00:10

in the maloca either the Hollywood career and if so do her which is a

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

holly Avila. Okay daddy KFR loon.

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

This is a

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

one of the verses,

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

which is part of this, the narrative on

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

the discussion between the correspondence between Sulaiman

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

Alayhis Salam and the Queen of Sheba bilities.

00:00:33 --> 00:00:38

And one of the statements that's made in this dialogue is

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

what Bill T says, this is a statement she makes makes to her

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

co t as she is making a she is having a discussion with them

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

about what to do.

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

So this is what she is, this is what she says, When discussing

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

with Soleimani. He's sorry, sorry, Mrs. Rama told her to come and

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

submit.

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

So the whole story was quite simple about Hood Hood, the who

00:01:03 --> 00:01:07

pay who'd gone and disappeared and had come upon this kingdom. And he

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11

came back and gave details of it to Salim and Annie salons and when

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

I said I said, Well,

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

she should come. What do we need? Muslimeen he wrote a letter to her

00:01:16 --> 00:01:21

Bismillah R Rahman Rahim, Allah Allahu Allah, wa Tony Muslim in a

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

very short letter, in the name of Allah, most Gracious, most

00:01:25 --> 00:01:25

Merciful.

00:01:29 --> 00:01:31

Don't try to overcome me.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:36

Just come to me in submission, simple.

00:01:38 --> 00:01:41

So she is now making a discussion

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

as to what their response should be.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46

So she says that,

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

in the midst of that discussion, this point comes up the verily

00:01:51 --> 00:01:57

when kings, sovereigns rulers, when they enter into any area,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

they will lay it down to waste, it will totally destroyed of sedusa

00:02:03 --> 00:02:08

will totally destroy it annihilated. And what do I do? Is

00:02:08 --> 00:02:13

that a doula and they they will make the noble people of the area

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17

they will make them and put them down, they will degrade them, and

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

make them into the humiliated.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:21

So

00:02:22 --> 00:02:27

although that's been related in this particular context, Monash

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

already thumri, after the la era,

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

he takes some very interesting subtle points on the Quran. That's

00:02:34 --> 00:02:38

why it's actually been translated into English as well, one of his

00:02:38 --> 00:02:41

collections on this topic. Although that one's primarily

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

based on Hadith where he's established most of the points

00:02:45 --> 00:02:49

that Sufis will use throughout their concepts, their procedures,

00:02:49 --> 00:02:54

their methodologies, he's proven that through Hadith, he's shown

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

how it's, so he uses this verse to say that.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:03

Although this is speaking about kings, kings have power. This is

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

talking about something powerful. So if you conceptualize it to the

00:03:06 --> 00:03:10

basic level, it's talking about some power, some form of power

00:03:10 --> 00:03:16

coming in, and just totally anything that is considered to be

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17

respectable.

00:03:18 --> 00:03:22

Obviously, whatever is respectable is something of perspective,

00:03:22 --> 00:03:25

somebody's perspective that this is respectable. Somebody might

00:03:25 --> 00:03:28

have someone who's respectable according to them, and yet other

00:03:28 --> 00:03:31

people will not consider that person respectable. In the drug

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

dealing kingdom. You've got the drug dealers who are considered to

00:03:35 --> 00:03:38

be very honorable, respectable to the people lower down, but

00:03:38 --> 00:03:41

obviously for the authorities and for general people, they will

00:03:41 --> 00:03:45

think that is the most despicable people people. So he's using it

00:03:45 --> 00:03:49

he's he's taken it down to its bare conceptual level that when

00:03:49 --> 00:03:53

some kind of power come in, comes in, then it will lay everything to

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

waste, and it will take what you would have considered to be noble

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

and he would have made that to be despicable. So then he says, this

00:03:59 --> 00:04:04

is the same thing. He I can see in this the love of Allah subhanaw

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

taala doing the same thing, the love of Allah subhanaw taala is so

00:04:07 --> 00:04:12

powerful that when it comes into any heart, so he says the kingdom

00:04:12 --> 00:04:16

here is the heart, the dunya of the heart item of dunya which

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

animal column, it will come in there and it will lay everything

00:04:19 --> 00:04:23

to waste. And it will take whatever you consider to be noble

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

right now away from the love of Allah subhanaw taala it will make

00:04:26 --> 00:04:30

that totally despicable in your sight. So very interestingly, he

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

reckons that love of Allah subhanaw taala is one of those

00:04:35 --> 00:04:40

alchemy is that once you develop that love to a true level, then it

00:04:40 --> 00:04:43

will govern everything and it will correct everything in your heart.

00:04:45 --> 00:04:49

And that's why it will take care of everything. Because it will

00:04:49 --> 00:04:53

take care of one of the big things afara Ito many Taha Illa who Hawa

00:04:53 --> 00:04:57

Have you seen the one who has taken his lower self, the ego, the

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

desire as his God as his

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

deity as his Object Object of Worship Allah, Allah is someone

00:05:04 --> 00:05:08

that you resort to in every aspect. Now, this obviously

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

describes, you know, majority of us for our eight Amanita Isla who

00:05:13 --> 00:05:14

have at some level

00:05:15 --> 00:05:19

what are the Allahu Allahu Allah and Allah subhanaw taala has

00:05:19 --> 00:05:22

caused him to deviate despite the fact that he has knowledge because

00:05:22 --> 00:05:27

the knowledge is of that nature that it manages to overcome your

00:05:27 --> 00:05:31

intellectual self. The desire you know, intellectually.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:36

Rationally thinking about it, you know, this is wrong.

00:05:37 --> 00:05:41

But then the knifes is so powerful that actually takes over.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:46

And then eventually what am I assuming he will be

00:05:48 --> 00:05:50

eventually that leads to a seal over the heart.

00:05:52 --> 00:05:56

So now you add him in Barry Diller if Allah is not going to guide him

00:05:56 --> 00:05:57

who's can guide him.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:02

So what this verse tells us and many other verses like that in the

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

Quran,

00:06:04 --> 00:06:08

that the only result we have against our knifes, etc, is Allah

00:06:08 --> 00:06:11

subhanaw taala. And the more Allah subhanaw taala comes into our

00:06:11 --> 00:06:16

hearts, then it will lay all of this to waste as much as we bring

00:06:16 --> 00:06:21

him in. This is how much it will lay everything else to waste. So

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

this is kind of a continuation of what we spoke last week. That's

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

why

00:06:26 --> 00:06:30

one of the this was the emphasis of Monash already Thonburi in his

00:06:30 --> 00:06:33

the sort of the greatest emphasis was obviously love of Allah

00:06:33 --> 00:06:37

subhanaw taala. And one of the second points was character,

00:06:38 --> 00:06:41

social character, social etiquette, this is a very big

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

theme, every shake will have a different theme.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:48

They will all any shaking, the part of the source should speak

00:06:48 --> 00:06:51

about the love of Allah subhanaw taala there's no doubt about that.

00:06:51 --> 00:06:56

But then they will, because of certain experiences that they've

00:06:56 --> 00:07:02

had. They will then focus on certain aspects that accompany the

00:07:02 --> 00:07:05

love of Allah subhanaw taala that complement the love of Allah

00:07:05 --> 00:07:08

subhanaw taala it's impossible for anybody to speak about everything,

00:07:08 --> 00:07:10

only the prophets, Allah lorrison Did that he was the most

00:07:10 --> 00:07:14

comprehensive personality that dealt with everything. Generally

00:07:14 --> 00:07:17

with everybody else, their focus is going to be on certain other

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

aspects, including the main theme of love for Allah subhanho wa

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

Taala and drawing closer to Allah subhanaw taala. So if you look

00:07:24 --> 00:07:27

at different machinery, for example, if you look at Hakeem

00:07:27 --> 00:07:31

after sub Rahmatullah, who just passed away recently, his focus

00:07:32 --> 00:07:36

was on, he reckoned that one of the major problems in the world

00:07:36 --> 00:07:41

today which it is, and nobody can deny it, is you can say, the evil

00:07:41 --> 00:07:46

eye, not in terms of a line, but in terms of not what you're

00:07:46 --> 00:07:50

affected by, but what you infect yourself with, by looking at the

00:07:50 --> 00:07:53

haram. So His thing was about Berners Lee, as he called it,

00:07:53 --> 00:07:57

which is just to look at the bad, and Subhanallah it is, and it's

00:07:57 --> 00:08:00

increasing more and more and more and more day in and day out. And

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

it's only gonna get worse, because the availability

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

is only worse. I was just reading a report, I was just reading a

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

report on it's on BBC today, I think the * industry is

00:08:12 --> 00:08:16

complaining that Google etc, doesn't do enough to direct people

00:08:16 --> 00:08:20

to the legitimate sites where they have to pay, but they get it for

00:08:20 --> 00:08:24

free. So everything that they make is immediately immediately what

00:08:24 --> 00:08:29

you call it, copied, copied and put up elsewhere. Whereas the film

00:08:29 --> 00:08:32

industry and so on, they've they've had a lot of lobbying.

00:08:32 --> 00:08:36

They've had a lot of lobbying. And because of that, if you go to

00:08:36 --> 00:08:40

search for a watch a movie, and he gives an example as well, if you

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

go to the watch a certain movie, rather than show you the sites

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

where it's downloadable for free,

00:08:46 --> 00:08:50

that which are illegal, he will now start giving you where it's

00:08:50 --> 00:08:51

legally

00:08:52 --> 00:08:59

paid, paid places. And the * industry is now complaining that

00:08:59 --> 00:09:03

we're not seen as legitimate businesses, respectable

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

individuals were seen as commodities. Well, you've made

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

yourself commodities. And they're complaining about that. It's just

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

all a whole gimmick in the in the whole thing, so it's only going to

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

get easier. And then you go into the 3d world. And this is quite

00:09:16 --> 00:09:21

scary when you go into the whole 3d world that's taking place, the

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

older technology that's taking place to make things seem fully

00:09:24 --> 00:09:28

realistic. You know, so far we have the Wii. But things have gone

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

way beyond the Wii where you know, you can just move around do

00:09:30 --> 00:09:33

things, you can actually now start feeling these things. So you can

00:09:33 --> 00:09:36

actually start feeling interactions with your hands with

00:09:36 --> 00:09:39

your eyes with with your ears, you can actually start feeding these

00:09:39 --> 00:09:43

with sensors that they'll put on you. And they've had a discussion

00:09:43 --> 00:09:46

about what that's going to do for the * industry, which is that

00:09:46 --> 00:09:48

it's going to become realistic. You're going to have what you want

00:09:48 --> 00:09:52

and you will be realistic. Right? So it's only going to get worse.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

What the world is going to get to I don't know but this is one

00:09:55 --> 00:09:59

Hakeem after he force is foreseeing all of this and that's

00:09:59 --> 00:09:59

his main thing.

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

Okay, is that

00:10:04 --> 00:10:07

our hazard mana usin Matata sub his whole focus is the love of

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

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, so that dominates Whenever

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

he speaks. He speaks about his Sheikh Sheikh Vidya Rahmatullah

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

Lee and he speaks about the Prophet salallahu salam

00:10:17 --> 00:10:18

to such an extent that

00:10:21 --> 00:10:25

he says that in the hereafter if we don't, if we don't act rightly

00:10:25 --> 00:10:29

in this world, etc, in the Hereafter, how are we going to

00:10:29 --> 00:10:33

show our face to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, so he always

00:10:33 --> 00:10:36

mentioned Sula, Lawson first, of course, we can have to show off

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

his to Allah subhanaw taala as well. But there is also this that

00:10:40 --> 00:10:42

we are going to have to show our face Rasulullah Salallahu Salam.

00:10:42 --> 00:10:45

So how are we going to show face to Rasulullah sallallahu. Listen,

00:10:46 --> 00:10:49

that just takes care of everything that if he turns his face away,

00:10:49 --> 00:10:52

then what's going to happen? So he's got a dominance of the love

00:10:52 --> 00:10:56

of Rasulullah sallallahu. So I'm just amazing. That's his

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

dominance. Of course, that came a lot from Shakespeare, Dr. Hunter

00:10:59 --> 00:11:03

Lodi as well. So you have different machines that have a

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

different focus.

00:11:05 --> 00:11:09

So it depends on the time and the situation, and what's the

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

involvement and so on. You have some mache, who will be then more

00:11:13 --> 00:11:19

focused on because they you know, they'll be more focused on dealing

00:11:19 --> 00:11:23

with a particular type of crowd than those people will find a lot

00:11:23 --> 00:11:27

of Congeniality. And that's why there are so many machines in the

00:11:27 --> 00:11:31

world. And you have to find one that you are congenial with, that

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

can you can relate to. And that can relate to you. Because if

00:11:34 --> 00:11:38

you're in an academic vocation, or you're in an engineering vocation,

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

or you are in the teaching vocation, and you're going to

00:11:42 --> 00:11:44

someone who's in a different vocation, he doesn't really

00:11:44 --> 00:11:46

understand your field. So

00:11:47 --> 00:11:52

whatever we do in our life, whatever we do in our life, is

00:11:52 --> 00:11:55

going to have a great bearing on our relationship with Allah

00:11:55 --> 00:11:59

subhanaw taala on the path of Sulak. So although the path of

00:11:59 --> 00:12:03

solute may seem independent, it's affected by everything we do in

00:12:03 --> 00:12:04

our life.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:11

It's affected by everything we do in our life. So you might want to

00:12:11 --> 00:12:15

do something in your field. So that's why you need that

00:12:15 --> 00:12:16

Congeniality.

00:12:18 --> 00:12:20

That's why it's very important.

00:12:23 --> 00:12:26

No mana somebody autonomy was not in the academic world at all, in

00:12:26 --> 00:12:27

terms of you know, the

00:12:28 --> 00:12:32

he was a great academic in his own right. But then you had some of

00:12:32 --> 00:12:37

the greatest thinkers of that day come to monitor retirement, if not

00:12:37 --> 00:12:40

earlier on in their life, but definitely later on in their life,

00:12:40 --> 00:12:44

some of the greatest greatest thinkers of the subcontinent went

00:12:44 --> 00:12:48

to him eventually, you know, when they first when mortality hits

00:12:48 --> 00:12:50

you, then you start getting worried.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

When when you start realizing I'm going to die one day,

00:12:54 --> 00:12:55

then you start going to

00:12:58 --> 00:13:01

so with Manasa, when he told me, what happened is that some of the

00:13:01 --> 00:13:04

greatest of the people, I mean, we're talking about principles of

00:13:04 --> 00:13:09

DeLong duben, coeditor, himself to sell Allama Sade, Sulayman nadwi,

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

some of the greatest thinkers of the time

00:13:12 --> 00:13:17

abdulmajeed Derya, buddy, who would actually become apostate to

00:13:17 --> 00:13:21

a certain degree, because he'd been highly influenced in the

00:13:21 --> 00:13:25

middle of his life, then he later came back, and then he wrote his

00:13:25 --> 00:13:29

English translation, kind of comments on the Quran.

00:13:31 --> 00:13:34

So you had some of the greatest movies that come to him, because

00:13:34 --> 00:13:38

one, I really thought he was a fucky. He was a jurist. So he has

00:13:38 --> 00:13:42

a collection of fatawa. He was a hadith scholar, the soul of

00:13:42 --> 00:13:46

scholar, and a great thinker. So then that's why he was able to

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

draw these different types of people, they could all find

00:13:48 --> 00:13:49

something in him.

00:13:50 --> 00:13:51

That's the way these things work.

00:13:54 --> 00:13:58

And then you also have some amazing individuals who don't

00:13:58 --> 00:14:02

necessarily come from a very strong Elmy background. But then

00:14:02 --> 00:14:07

they are able to understand the demands of those backgrounds, so

00:14:07 --> 00:14:11

then people tend to them. So it's, it's just really interesting, then

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

there's obviously the matter of the kuleana of Allah, subhanaw,

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

taala, and so on. But what you do need is you need somebody you can

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

speak to, because it's not just a It's not just a silent

00:14:20 --> 00:14:23

relationship, you will benefit but it's not just a silent

00:14:23 --> 00:14:29

relationship. You have to speak about what's going on, and how

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

that can help you because everything that we do definitely

00:14:31 --> 00:14:32

does have some kind of

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

effect on us. So as a modeler, somebody told me, he had one of

00:14:37 --> 00:14:39

the he had this Halifa

00:14:40 --> 00:14:45

one of his very close students. One day, this particular Khalifa

00:14:45 --> 00:14:49

of his he was also a poet. So he says it comes with a poem, he

00:14:49 --> 00:14:55

says, Hartman, dill seroxat hoagie. Upto Agia up to Hollywood.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:57

Okay, now in simplistic sense, it's

00:15:00 --> 00:15:06

So symbolises it's a very simple phrase, which is every desire of

00:15:06 --> 00:15:09

the heart has now disappeared has gone has waned has finished,

00:15:09 --> 00:15:10

emptied.

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

Now come in, now there is solitude

00:15:17 --> 00:15:22

there's, there's privacy now. So this is dealing with the whole

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

concept of love Allah subhanaw taala many different levels.

00:15:25 --> 00:15:28

Firstly, it's incorporating within it the fact that

00:15:29 --> 00:15:35

you can't, you can't claim to love something or someone if you don't

00:15:35 --> 00:15:39

give them your full heart. If you've got other things that

00:15:39 --> 00:15:44

you're also looking out to, that's why you can't do that. You can't

00:15:45 --> 00:15:49

it's not going to work especially if the one you're claiming to love

00:15:49 --> 00:15:52

has full knowledge of everything that makes it even more difficult.

00:15:54 --> 00:15:57

One is that you can in this world claim to someone else I love you I

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

love you and out inwardly be thinking something else but with

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

Allah subhanaw taala you can't say it has to be an honest love.

00:16:05 --> 00:16:09

It has to be a genuine love and to have a genuine love you have to we

00:16:09 --> 00:16:13

have to work on ourselves to clean everything out. So then when he's

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

saying how to deal seroxat hoagie, it's gone.

00:16:19 --> 00:16:21

A guy some some some person his wife

00:16:22 --> 00:16:27

is asking a bit you know asking her husband about

00:16:28 --> 00:16:31

do you love me more than anybody else in the world? They like to be

00:16:31 --> 00:16:32

reassured sometimes.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:39

So he says I love your like the SIM card to my phone.

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

That was his example

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

now how many SIM cards you generally having a phone one, but

00:16:48 --> 00:16:50

in India Pakistan, they like two SIM cards in a phone.

00:16:52 --> 00:16:55

So you have Samsung has actually even makes these phones in India

00:16:55 --> 00:16:58

they only make for India, which have two SIM cards in there.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:03

Now poor man, she didn't know that. So here he is. He tells he

00:17:03 --> 00:17:07

tells in an honest opinion. Which for her means. Yes. Subhanallah

00:17:07 --> 00:17:09

there's only one SIM card in the phone, he will go you know.

00:17:10 --> 00:17:13

Whereas His idea is that no you can get two SIM card phones as

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

well. Right? So it's okay. But you can't do that with Allah subhanaw

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

taala you can placate somebody else. convince somebody else with

00:17:20 --> 00:17:24

the with you know, if you're clever, the way you do things but

00:17:24 --> 00:17:26

you can't do that with ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. So when he says

00:17:26 --> 00:17:30

how to determine Dil Se looks at okay, you must have worked hard to

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

get to that level of knowledge and now come in.

00:17:34 --> 00:17:36

Now you can come in there's no excuse. Now I've done what you

00:17:36 --> 00:17:37

want me to do.

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

I'm Hello, Toby. Now there is no so to further emphasize now.

00:17:42 --> 00:17:47

There's no one else now it's total privacy. It's total intimacy. It's

00:17:47 --> 00:17:50

just you and I it's just that's it now, you're you're there.

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

So, when has it Monash really thought we understood that, you

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

know, the higher you are, the more value you will have for these

00:17:56 --> 00:17:58

things. So he understood where

00:17:59 --> 00:18:03

now his student was also a very high level hijama zoob His name

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

was

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

so he said if I had a ecological phobia 100,000 rupees in those

00:18:09 --> 00:18:11

days were much more than today.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:16

Today, the value has gone down one lakh rupees, 1000 pounds today,

00:18:16 --> 00:18:20

it's not much. Those days, it was much more, I would have given it

00:18:20 --> 00:18:25

to him for saying this, for hitting the nail on the head. So

00:18:25 --> 00:18:30

particularly so perfectly. So when a person does love, so when is

00:18:30 --> 00:18:32

that, you know, we've described the love of Allah subhanaw taala

00:18:32 --> 00:18:35

now let's try to understand the love of Allah subhanaw taala which

00:18:35 --> 00:18:37

is to gauge ourselves from the signs of the love of Allah

00:18:37 --> 00:18:40

subhanaw taala so the other mod they've written these are the

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

signs of the love of Allah subhanaw taala

00:18:43 --> 00:18:45

you can only claim to love someone.

00:18:47 --> 00:18:51

If you have the following signs. A person misses Allah subhanaw taala

00:18:53 --> 00:18:57

Do you ever miss doing something for Allah? subhanaw taala when's

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

the next solid time? Oh, you know, I haven't done vicar for a while

00:19:00 --> 00:19:04

let me do vicar we meaning I've been involved in some work, I'm

00:19:04 --> 00:19:07

missing for days and days. That's still a good, that's still you're

00:19:07 --> 00:19:10

missing him eventually, it's still good. Or what I'm talking about is

00:19:10 --> 00:19:12

that we're involved in a phone call or something. I haven't done

00:19:12 --> 00:19:14

anything. Let me remember him again.

00:19:16 --> 00:19:20

It's like, I was on the phone to someone I love for example, and

00:19:20 --> 00:19:21

then I get another call.

00:19:23 --> 00:19:26

Right? which engages me for a while. It took 15 minutes of my

00:19:26 --> 00:19:31

time 20 minutes of my time. Right? And then as soon as I put it down,

00:19:32 --> 00:19:34

immediately the thought of the other person should come into my

00:19:34 --> 00:19:37

mind. I need to carry on my discussion with them. This guy

00:19:37 --> 00:19:40

bothered me in between this guy disturbed me in between that kind

00:19:40 --> 00:19:41

of a feeling.

00:19:43 --> 00:19:46

Now just because that seems so far fetched to us, it doesn't mean

00:19:46 --> 00:19:49

that we don't pursue it. It's only gonna you can only get these

00:19:49 --> 00:19:54

things bit by bit it's you develop them like that. So a person is

00:19:54 --> 00:19:57

always restless and wants to always be engaged with Allah

00:19:57 --> 00:19:59

subhanaw taala at some level

00:20:01 --> 00:20:06

So where are we in this regard? Number two, is cathro to sujood,

00:20:06 --> 00:20:09

one of the highest expressions of honoring Allah subhanaw taala. And

00:20:09 --> 00:20:13

love for him is in frustration. In fact, when a person does that,

00:20:13 --> 00:20:17

it's just a human feeling. Because you've put your head and your mind

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

down, it's beneath your back now. So physically speaking, you have

00:20:21 --> 00:20:24

lowered yourself to the lowest of the low, because one of the most

00:20:24 --> 00:20:28

noble parts of the human being is the face is the head and the

00:20:28 --> 00:20:33

heart. So the heart still stays at the top in that case, but you've

00:20:33 --> 00:20:36

lowered yourself down right to the ground. And that's why the Prophet

00:20:36 --> 00:20:39

sallallahu sallam said that the closest a person, a servant is to

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

Allah subhanaw. Taala is in Sajida is in frustration.

00:20:44 --> 00:20:49

So you've we've done that. So it's a very kind of psychological

00:20:49 --> 00:20:53

feeling of submission that you've given to Allah subhanaw taala. So

00:20:53 --> 00:20:58

cathro to sujood is an indication of love for Allah subhanaw taala

00:20:59 --> 00:21:01

can only look after to sujood if you do extra prayer, because

00:21:02 --> 00:21:05

generally, that's where the search that takes place, that's where the

00:21:05 --> 00:21:09

prostration takes place. So a person is constantly in connection

00:21:09 --> 00:21:14

with Allah subhanaw taala through natural prayers. So so he does is

00:21:14 --> 00:21:18

a Sherlock and charged and a well being and the Hedgehog, and so on

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

and so forth. Then the third one out of all of these novel prayers,

00:21:22 --> 00:21:23

the most important is the Tahajjud prayer.

00:21:24 --> 00:21:29

It's probably, I mean, although it's not mentioned in the books of

00:21:29 --> 00:21:31

this thing, but it's probably impossible for a person to become

00:21:31 --> 00:21:33

a Will you have a life he doesn't do tahajjud

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

I mean, this is probably just from experience, just from observing

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

the only of Allah. This is the one time that they get to speak to

00:21:42 --> 00:21:45

Allah Subhan. This is the highest maraca, you can say that I heard

00:21:45 --> 00:21:46

your prayers, the highest Moraga

00:21:47 --> 00:21:52

we're doing now maraca was to get to that stage. So the person never

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

misses the edge of prayer, never misses Tahajjud prayer. And if he

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

does that he feels as bad as he's missed the prayer.

00:21:58 --> 00:22:00

Remember, we're starting off from the standard of somebody who does

00:22:00 --> 00:22:04

feel bad when they miss their prayer. We're not talking about on

00:22:04 --> 00:22:06

the other level of who doesn't even care about their pride and

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

wastage is going to come into that. So we're talking from a

00:22:09 --> 00:22:10

particular perspective here.

00:22:12 --> 00:22:15

So he never misses the Hajj. And if you look at the Salah, some

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

stage, you'll understand this, that Allah had to tell him

00:22:19 --> 00:22:24

that I did not tell you or I'm not recommending all of these things

00:22:24 --> 00:22:30

to you to make you to be of a burden for you. So what does Allah

00:22:30 --> 00:22:34

subhanaw taala say to the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam or her

00:22:34 --> 00:22:40

MA in zona Aliko. Khurana little Shah, I didn't reveal the Quran on

00:22:40 --> 00:22:44

you. So that you would find you would make it a burden, you'd

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

overburden yourself, because Ross Olson was really, he'd really

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

understood the real he had the realization for that. So he was

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

literally been told to take it easy.

00:22:56 --> 00:22:59

was being told to take it easy, you don't have to do that much.

00:22:59 --> 00:23:02

You're really fretting a lot.

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

But that just goes to show the high level of love is not going to

00:23:05 --> 00:23:08

go to waste at the end of the day, it's going to be its fruits in the

00:23:08 --> 00:23:11

hereafter in this world, the pain is there. But in the hereafter

00:23:11 --> 00:23:11

it's there.

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

So when we can't pay the 100, or if we don't wake up with 100.

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

When I say Wake up, that's the optimal tahajjud I don't want to I

00:23:24 --> 00:23:28

don't want to put down the other dodgy reaches the students the

00:23:28 --> 00:23:32

halogen. Because that's still an effort to do. The person who

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

doesn't want to do the hygiene. He's can't make two extra cuts

00:23:35 --> 00:23:36

after Isha for that.

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

Tribe.

00:23:40 --> 00:23:45

That means the 100 is to wake up and pray. The other tahajud is to

00:23:45 --> 00:23:48

because Niger time starts after your return after your Isha

00:23:48 --> 00:23:52

prayer, right? So is to incorporate with the intention

00:23:52 --> 00:23:55

that I'm doing two rockets of tahajjud beyond your subnet and

00:23:55 --> 00:23:59

wajib of Asia to do an extra two tickets, and many of us might

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

think that's cheating, but try it. That's a stage to reach as well.

00:24:02 --> 00:24:06

Not many not everybody can even do the intention of the 100 after

00:24:06 --> 00:24:09

they've done the total cost of sunnah and with the minimum after

00:24:09 --> 00:24:12

Isha prayer and then I'm going to do two additional cards they are

00:24:12 --> 00:24:17

heavy to do the very difficult two extra cards at night is not easy.

00:24:18 --> 00:24:20

You know you're tired at the end of the day they're doing two extra

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

cards, forget night, even at eight o'clock the difficult you want to

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

go to eat.

00:24:26 --> 00:24:29

You know because Asia nowadays quarter to eight in the masjid for

00:24:29 --> 00:24:32

example. Try to do two extra rockets after that.

00:24:33 --> 00:24:36

You have to have a routine you have to have overcome something to

00:24:36 --> 00:24:40

do it. Otherwise Most people will not do it even though lots of

00:24:40 --> 00:24:43

people know that you can do tagit at that time. How many people

00:24:43 --> 00:24:47

actually make the intention for two rockets have died yet to do

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

that.

00:24:48 --> 00:24:51

That's why although these things seem very easy, how long does it

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

take to restore to milk

00:24:53 --> 00:24:57

less than five minutes if you know it by heart less than five

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

minutes. The virtue of

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

is known as well. But how many of us can actually do it each night?

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

It's remembering it, it's doing it, we're so busy that we hardly

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

ever get a chance to sit down. Because if we are sitting down,

00:25:10 --> 00:25:12

it's with our phone or in front of the TV.

00:25:13 --> 00:25:17

So we don't sit down doing nothing anymore. We're always doing

00:25:17 --> 00:25:19

something, but we're not really doing anything. That's the weird

00:25:19 --> 00:25:22

life that we're living in. We're always doing something, but we're

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

not really doing anything.

00:25:25 --> 00:25:28

Whereas in those days, when the lights would have to go out, and

00:25:28 --> 00:25:31

the only way you could do is the lamp, you'd have to put an oil

00:25:31 --> 00:25:36

lamp on, then those were better days I think, was more difficult.

00:25:36 --> 00:25:40

You have to work hard to have light, but then you would value it

00:25:40 --> 00:25:41

otherwise you'd go to sleep and wake up early.

00:25:43 --> 00:25:47

So don't think I don't wake up with 100

00:25:49 --> 00:25:51

If we're not waking up at the head, you don't think I don't wake

00:25:51 --> 00:25:55

up at tahajjud but rather we should think Allah does not want

00:25:55 --> 00:25:58

to Allah doesn't like me to wake up at 100

00:26:01 --> 00:26:04

because he's only going to allow us to do that. Because everything

00:26:04 --> 00:26:08

we do is a Tofik everything we do stuff even the follow up that we

00:26:08 --> 00:26:13

do anything we do. The 100 is an extra bonus. So if I can't wake up

00:26:13 --> 00:26:16

I should think man I can't wake up I can't wake up I should think

00:26:16 --> 00:26:20

Allah doesn't want me to wake up. So then start focusing on Allah

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

subhanho wa Taala

00:26:22 --> 00:26:27

just as children don't tire of ice cream, give him ice cream all day

00:26:27 --> 00:26:31

that eat ice cream right? Even adults today mashallah you know

00:26:31 --> 00:26:35

ice cream is you know, it's not a child food and the way we make it

00:26:35 --> 00:26:40

a child for it's just like you don't you know, nice ice cream. So

00:26:40 --> 00:26:43

likewise the people of Allah subhanaw taala will never tire

00:26:44 --> 00:26:47

of doing the Dhikr of Allah and of the Hajj.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

May Allah subhanaw taala allow us to have that same pleasure that we

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

have in ice cream or any of these other great foods that we like to

00:26:54 --> 00:26:57

eat people whatever that their cigarettes, their Coke, or

00:26:57 --> 00:27:01

whatever it is that gives them the buzz. Allah subhanaw taala give us

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

that connection with him in a Brotherton tahajjud

00:27:07 --> 00:27:11

and there's a number of other signs inshallah we will be looking

00:27:11 --> 00:27:18

at that some other time. I just want to read to you quickly. A

00:27:18 --> 00:27:22

will see it that always ignore either currently the Great Bear in

00:27:22 --> 00:27:25

who Rasulullah sallallahu. Saman despite having never seen,

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

mentioned that his dewasa accepted.

00:27:29 --> 00:27:35

Always a carnie eventually he passed away fighting in the Battle

00:27:35 --> 00:27:40

of Safin on it to the Allahu Anhu side he was martyred right in

00:27:40 --> 00:27:46

those internecine. fightings. But before that he gave our sia to

00:27:47 --> 00:27:51

haram ignore Hayyan another individual, he gave him some

00:27:51 --> 00:27:55

advice some counsel, he said oh haram YBNL Hayyan.

00:27:59 --> 00:28:04

Allah subhanho wa Taala his book, the Quran, and the Saudi Hain

00:28:05 --> 00:28:06

of the believers and Allah.

00:28:08 --> 00:28:10

Make sure you

00:28:13 --> 00:28:17

continue to adopt their attributes. So learn from them,

00:28:18 --> 00:28:20

adopt the attributes of the holy of Allah subhanho wa taala.

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

And he said that

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

those are the people that I have been following on my life, the

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

good people, that's what I've been following all my life.

00:28:32 --> 00:28:33

And he said beware.

00:28:35 --> 00:28:40

Another thing is, keep Mote death in your mind all the time.

00:28:42 --> 00:28:44

And believe me, I think for anybody in this world Muslim or

00:28:44 --> 00:28:45

non Muslim,

00:28:46 --> 00:28:49

you know, when they get their life together, is when they start

00:28:49 --> 00:28:52

thinking about death. That's why you have this whole concept of

00:28:52 --> 00:28:54

midlife, midlife crisis.

00:28:56 --> 00:28:59

But unfortunately, people translate midlife, they deal with

00:28:59 --> 00:29:03

their midlife crisis in different ways. When you get to about 35 to

00:29:03 --> 00:29:06

40, and you start thinking now I'm going to start going downhill.

00:29:06 --> 00:29:10

What have I done in my life? If as a moment you'll start thinking

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

What have I done in my life? Am I close to Allah subhanaw taala not

00:29:13 --> 00:29:16

I've got all of this world that dunya I've got everything I want,

00:29:16 --> 00:29:19

but have I got Allah, but for other people, they will actually

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

start thinking well, I need to go and ride motorbikes now.

00:29:23 --> 00:29:27

You know, I need to do some Daredevil stuff, or or they have

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

problems with their wives and a problem their Husband Husband,

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

generally men men problem with their wives. Women have problems

00:29:34 --> 00:29:39

at menopause a different level, right? So they'll start doing some

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

crazy things that look for extramarital affairs love and you

00:29:41 --> 00:29:44

know, people translate this thing in two different ways. But what is

00:29:44 --> 00:29:49

the factor here is mortality, the fact that I'm gonna die soon. So

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

very important thoughts. And that's why initially we've been

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

told over and over again, think about your Moto Jarocho think

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

about your death.

00:29:58 --> 00:30:00

In fact, what we sell currently instead

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

Hang on this, obviously he's seen the value. He says that if it's

00:30:02 --> 00:30:07

possible, don't forget death, even for a blink of an eye

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

Subhanallah don't think the blink blink of an eye.

00:30:13 --> 00:30:17

He says when you go back to your people, then constantly remind

00:30:17 --> 00:30:22

them of the notion of Jahannam, of the fire of fire of hellfire.

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

And the other thing is, don't ever leave the main consensus. Don't

00:30:30 --> 00:30:35

become different, different in the sense of from the main Muslim

00:30:35 --> 00:30:36

community.

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

This doesn't mean that you can't be more pious or be more, more

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

practicing, it's just talking about Don't be separate and go

00:30:43 --> 00:30:44

against the Muslim community.

00:30:46 --> 00:30:50

And if you do that, you will eventually lose your Islam as

00:30:50 --> 00:30:53

well. Because Islam is a very social religion at the end of the

00:30:53 --> 00:30:56

day, and we take strength from each other. And we start leaving

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

everybody and we go aloof and different. As people do, they

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

leave the Muslim area and they go on live separately, they lose

00:31:01 --> 00:31:05

their kids, they lose everybody, in many, many cases, unless more

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

people move there, and then they make a masjid and then they start

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

a new Muslim community. Otherwise, people lose it. This is what

00:31:10 --> 00:31:14

happens quite often. Because if you don't do that, you will die.

00:31:14 --> 00:31:17

And Allah subhanaw taala will send you into hellfire.

00:31:18 --> 00:31:22

And then after that, he made dua for haram here, and he made dua

00:31:22 --> 00:31:26

for him. He says, Oh Allah, this person has come to me purely for

00:31:26 --> 00:31:30

your sake, purely to satisfy you, he came to me. So this concept of

00:31:30 --> 00:31:34

visiting Maasai for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala. And he's

00:31:34 --> 00:31:36

come purely to make you happy. So

00:31:38 --> 00:31:44

look at this, he's saying that in Jannette make him of those who

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

come to visit me.

00:31:49 --> 00:31:52

Me make him of those engender to come to visit me although as

00:31:52 --> 00:31:55

though he knows that he's got Gemilut to a certain degree

00:31:55 --> 00:31:56

Subhanallah

00:31:59 --> 00:32:03

Oh, Allah make him satisfied with enough of this will make him

00:32:03 --> 00:32:06

satisfied and content with just enough of this world that would

00:32:06 --> 00:32:06

suffice him

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

that'd be a wonderful, it would be a wonderful though, then the grid

00:32:11 --> 00:32:12

would go from our minds.

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

And Allah, whatever you have given him off the dunya give him off yet

00:32:17 --> 00:32:19

in it, so don't make it a burden on it.

00:32:22 --> 00:32:25

What's the point of having too much that becomes a burden on us

00:32:25 --> 00:32:26

becomes a liability.

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

And whichever act you've given him the Tofik to do whichever

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

practices good deeds that you've given tofi to do, give him the

00:32:36 --> 00:32:37

ability to make sugar on them.

00:32:40 --> 00:32:44

Because in there, we're asking for increase Oh Allah, you're giving

00:32:44 --> 00:32:47

the trophy to tahajjud you've given me Tofik to attend the

00:32:47 --> 00:32:50

Mejlis you've given me Tofik to be on a to do the thicker to the

00:32:50 --> 00:32:53

Yamanaka to do it to be on your path. That means that Allah

00:32:53 --> 00:32:56

subhanaw taala will give us more and

00:32:58 --> 00:33:01

accept those practices and make them set your mascara in the

00:33:01 --> 00:33:02

hereafter

00:33:03 --> 00:33:09

set your mascara attempts and efforts that that are accepted

00:33:09 --> 00:33:12

with gratitude in the hereafter.

00:33:13 --> 00:33:16

or Allah I am now interesting him to you.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:22

I'm entrusting him to you As salam o attic yeah haram ignore Hayyan

00:33:22 --> 00:33:24

and he says now go and don't come back.

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

So this was

00:33:28 --> 00:33:32

the only of Allah have their own ways of speaking. They have their

00:33:32 --> 00:33:35

own ways of speaking but we need them to us. May Allah subhanaw

00:33:35 --> 00:33:38

taala allow us to benefit

00:33:40 --> 00:33:43

from the machinery that we have living around us Allah give us a

00:33:43 --> 00:33:48

Tofik to benefit from them and Allah take us close to them along
