Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa

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

Salatu was Salam ALA. So you will mostly in what are the early he or

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

sofii of our Casa limita Sleeman Kathira en la ami de America.

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

This is the result of Mr. Shi dean of Hadith and what has to be it's

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

one of the earliest classics of the soul.

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

It's been quoted by pretty much most of the books afterwards, but

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

it's by hearth al Maha CB. And he's very well known. He died in

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

243 Hijiri. So you can tell that that's really early is before the

00:00:37 --> 00:00:42

likes of Ghazali and also before a Butalbital. McKee who really took

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

a lot from So, this is a person who's setting out

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

the path at the time and a lot of this was being developed. So, Mr.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:58

Schad earshot rushed rushed means hedaya Rishard means to, to direct

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03

and to granted I have to give hedaya to direct towards hedaya Is

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

the Rishard means to seek hidayah

00:01:07 --> 00:01:10

it means to seek guidance is the Rishard

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

and

00:01:15 --> 00:01:20

muster shed is the person who seeks guidance, essentially a

00:01:20 --> 00:01:25

person on the path who is trying their best to reach Allah subhanaw

00:01:25 --> 00:01:31

taala. So, he says this is an epistle to those who are aspirants

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32

have the spiritual path.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39

So he starts a lot of the time the hotwire is very significant. So he

00:01:39 --> 00:01:44

starts Alhamdulillah hill a well Kadeem are praises to Allah Who is

00:01:44 --> 00:01:48

the first al Khadim the one without beginning.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:54

Allah He hola hola Jaleel the one who is one and majestic Allah de

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58

la sala, who shall be Hoon wala, and I'll leave the one who has

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

no resemblance,

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

nor any CO equal, nobody to resemble him co equal him or her

00:02:07 --> 00:02:10

mother who Hamden UEFI near Amma wear blue Madonna.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

I praise him now we're supposed to praise him.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21

Of course there's a we're supposed to praise him as much as is his

00:02:21 --> 00:02:25

right to be praised? How much is that? How do we praise him that

00:02:25 --> 00:02:31

much? Impossible. So generally what we do is that we employ words

00:02:32 --> 00:02:32

that

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38

magnify how much we can do, and leave the rest of ALLAH. So he

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

says, I praise him with a praise that should

00:02:43 --> 00:02:47

fulfill the rights of His bounties that should be equal to His

00:02:47 --> 00:02:47

bounties

00:02:49 --> 00:02:52

that should reach the limits of His bounties. That's how much

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

praise I'd like to give him.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:59

What I shall do, and I also testify testify that there is no

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

God except Allah, Allah, Allah illallah, WA, the hula Shikara,

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

alone, without partner, shahada to a Shahadat early mean be Rubia T.

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

But this is a test of education of an alum of somebody who is

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

knowledgeable of His Lordship.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:24

So we're not just doing it as just a casual praise or tested

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

vacation. But I'm testifying in a way that I know and I'm a non

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32

knower of His Lordship, like I have full knowledge of his I'm an

00:03:32 --> 00:03:36

alum of his Rubia. That's the kind of justification I'm providing

00:03:36 --> 00:03:42

here. So it's full confidence in Bhiwani, a tea or somebody who

00:03:42 --> 00:03:49

fully acknowledges, recognizes and knows his oneness. So this is not

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

just any ordinary testy vacation that's just said, at the spur of

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

the moment, or casually This is serious. This is somebody with

00:03:56 --> 00:04:00

great knowledge was saying this watershed, and I also testify on

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

the Mohammed Abdullah Sulan that Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is His

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

servant and His messenger. The reason I'm reading through this is

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

that this teaches us the job of approaching Allah subhanaw taala

00:04:09 --> 00:04:12

because we're just used to just simple stuff, you know, Lila,

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

Allah, Muhammad Rasul Allah, which is powerful enough, but this is an

00:04:15 --> 00:04:19

added nuanced understanding of that, which just shows you that

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

you're

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

invoking a lot more in your mind than you would when you just say

00:04:25 --> 00:04:28

La ilaha illAllah. When you just say a shadow, Allah Illallah you

00:04:28 --> 00:04:33

are really like, committing yourself with this estafa Who will

00:04:33 --> 00:04:37

he will he will hotter maybe he Ambia who, so His servant and

00:04:37 --> 00:04:41

Messenger, who he chose to send his revelation to, and who he

00:04:41 --> 00:04:46

sealed the line of the prophets with meaning brought him at the

00:04:46 --> 00:04:50

end of the line of Prophets. Were gerada who heard Jetson Isla Jimmy

00:04:50 --> 00:04:55

hulky he also made him the Hoja and the proof against all of His

00:04:55 --> 00:04:56

creation.

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

Why, how did he make him the proof?

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

The fact that he brought brought the truth and hence that is

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

evidence that truth has been brought in this in this world that

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

the hawk and the Bolton has been made clear the message has reached

00:05:11 --> 00:05:15

has been delivered. Leah Alikum and Hello camera Jana, while

00:05:15 --> 00:05:20

you're here, man, hi Amber Jana, so that those who do perish will

00:05:20 --> 00:05:23

perish based on proof, meaning those who will,

00:05:25 --> 00:05:28

who will be destroyed in the Hereafter, who will not be of the

00:05:28 --> 00:05:33

survivors, it will all be based on clear evidence and proof. And

00:05:33 --> 00:05:37

likewise, those who will live the eternal life will also live

00:05:39 --> 00:05:43

based on evidence also those who live in this world on their faith,

00:05:43 --> 00:05:47

they're not living just on something of hearsay, they are

00:05:47 --> 00:05:53

living on they are living their life based on absolute conviction

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

in what they have with all the proofs and all of the everything

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

that has been delivered from Allah subhanaw taala.

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

So, this is very far reaching one Allah as our Gela HTML I mean a

00:06:05 --> 00:06:10

birdie he mean, now after discussing the belief aspect, he

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

now starts talking about some cosmic reality. So, he says and

00:06:14 --> 00:06:18

ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada has chosen from His servants, the believers,

00:06:19 --> 00:06:23

especially selected them for what for belief, are closest to him for

00:06:23 --> 00:06:23

guidance.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:29

They will Alba will iron early mean to be he will be Ambry He

00:06:31 --> 00:06:31

Who are these

00:06:33 --> 00:06:40

believing servants they are the oil Bob Lubin is intelligence, a

00:06:40 --> 00:06:43

proper intelligence true intelligence is just normal alkyl

00:06:44 --> 00:06:48

alkyl is very general, you can understand useful things you can

00:06:48 --> 00:06:53

understand corrupt things. That's why you have alkyl Salim, which is

00:06:53 --> 00:06:56

a sound intelligence that understands what it has to

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

recognize is not missing the points of the hereafter and

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

intelligently understanding everything else. Do you

00:07:04 --> 00:07:09

understand? So this is talking about the URL Bob will pull URL

00:07:10 --> 00:07:17

lib pluralist album, the people of the true sacred intelligence, Elia

00:07:17 --> 00:07:24

demeanor, be those who are knowers of of him and his commands. So

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

these are the people who Allah subhanaw taala has specially

00:07:26 --> 00:07:31

selected May Allah make us truly from among these people? For what

00:07:31 --> 00:07:34

so for whom Bill Wafaa you will o'clock will follow the law, he

00:07:34 --> 00:07:38

will hope you will have Shetty. And then Allah subhanaw taala

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

characterizes them describes them, Bill Wafaa.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

With

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

what's the best translation for

00:07:50 --> 00:07:54

being faithful, because what that means to fulfill whatever is upon

00:07:54 --> 00:07:57

you to do that's being faithful, right? In a sense.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:03

Well, a HELOC and follow the law and exemplary color character,

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

when hope you will hush here. And they also have fear. And they also

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

have reverence. Last year is also similar to hope. But it's more of

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

a reverent fear. We don't run away from the one you

00:08:18 --> 00:08:21

fear that you run to them, because you know that that's the sanctuary

00:08:21 --> 00:08:27

just like a child when stole off by its mother, then it will run to

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

its mother.

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

If the father tells the child off, in most cases, it will still run

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

to its mother.

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

When the mother tells the child, it will run to its mother. In some

00:08:37 --> 00:08:40

cases, the opposite. And the father is different.

00:08:41 --> 00:08:47

But generally, this is the case for color as well as we're Hola

00:08:47 --> 00:08:52

Hola. Hola. So hence the most majestic and high SES in the Maya,

00:08:52 --> 00:08:57

the vicar rule album, it's the people with this true sound.

00:08:58 --> 00:09:07

Understanding who reflect on this, who heed this, the core, the core

00:09:07 --> 00:09:10

means to want to remember wanting to understand something want to

00:09:10 --> 00:09:13

reflect. So it's the people of

00:09:14 --> 00:09:15

true intellect

00:09:17 --> 00:09:20

that he this Alladhina ufone ABI Abdillah,

00:09:21 --> 00:09:26

the verse of the Quran, those who fulfill the covenant of Allah who

00:09:26 --> 00:09:31

make good the covenant of Allah, what I am who doodle mythique and

00:09:31 --> 00:09:35

they do not break the promise or the agreements. Well, Latina,

00:09:35 --> 00:09:39

Yossi Luna Amara la Hubei. Now this is all a description, but I

00:09:39 --> 00:09:42

see in this description, an encouragement to be like that.

00:09:42 --> 00:09:46

When you hear see the benefit of somebody being described in a

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

particularly positive way.

00:09:49 --> 00:09:53

to human beings. What that does is it makes you want to be like them,

00:09:53 --> 00:09:56

because when you praise when you hear somebody praising someone on

00:09:56 --> 00:09:58

something good, it's like, oh, I would like to be like that as

00:09:58 --> 00:10:00

well. When you hear somebody

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

be criticizing somebody in front of you, then you feel discouraged

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

from that feel like oh, you know, that's not maybe I do that as

00:10:06 --> 00:10:09

well. I shouldn't do that. So that's what I see coming from

00:10:09 --> 00:10:13

here. Yes, well, Latina, el Sirona amatola will be here and use all

00:10:14 --> 00:10:15

those who

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21

try and link that which Allah has ordered to be linked.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:26

All the ties of relationship that need to be linked with your kin

00:10:26 --> 00:10:31

with your blood relatives. Very important that you know that is so

00:10:31 --> 00:10:34

important is always mentioned. Have you noticed that? It's always

00:10:34 --> 00:10:35

mentioned?

00:10:37 --> 00:10:40

Silla to Ron Taramasalata Ron, because you see when you destroy

00:10:40 --> 00:10:44

the family nucleus, and you got problems with your uncle, your

00:10:44 --> 00:10:46

brother, your sister,

00:10:47 --> 00:10:52

then you are basically just the component of the entire society,

00:10:53 --> 00:10:55

then what should stop you from breaking up with others?

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

So this is what they should know. I know like it's not always a

00:10:59 --> 00:11:02

smooth ride as it I mean, there are issues. Sometimes there's

00:11:02 --> 00:11:06

issues with your own people. But I think we should just still try to

00:11:06 --> 00:11:10

at least be in touch and not break completely. You don't have to be

00:11:10 --> 00:11:14

close. You don't have to be next to each other. You don't have to

00:11:14 --> 00:11:19

be always together if you can't handle that. But at least Salam

00:11:19 --> 00:11:20

Kalam etc.

00:11:21 --> 00:11:25

We are shown our boom and they fear their Lord where half we're

00:11:25 --> 00:11:32

gonna sue al hisab. And they are fearful of a painful punishment. A

00:11:32 --> 00:11:34

painful accounting, reckoning.

00:11:37 --> 00:11:41

So that's basically a character characteristic of a believer. May

00:11:41 --> 00:11:46

Allah subhanaw taala give us these characteristics? Thurman SHA,

00:11:46 --> 00:11:49

Allah Who Sodre who all of this comes to this.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:51

It says

00:11:53 --> 00:11:54

what's the verse in the Quran

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

I found in sha Allah, Allah who saw their holy Islami for who are

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

Allah luring me Robbie.

00:12:01 --> 00:12:05

The one who Allah subhanaw taala has expanded his chest

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

for Islam.

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

For who are newly Mirabai He is then on a light from his Lord.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:18

His heart is completely expanded. It incorporates all of what the

00:12:18 --> 00:12:23

Islamic character should have. His belief is seen and sound, his

00:12:23 --> 00:12:29

interaction with others is safe and sound. And his the his entire

00:12:29 --> 00:12:33

headquarters which is his heart. It's fully expanded in that

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

direction. So whoever Allah subhanaw taala whoever's chest

00:12:37 --> 00:12:41

Allah subhanaw taala does expand. While while Salah does the coup de

00:12:41 --> 00:12:47

la Calvi, and the firm conviction, confirmation firm belief, because

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

imagine the sneak sneak means fully be truthful to something.

00:12:52 --> 00:12:57

Whoever this confirmation has reached his heart. We're rocky but

00:12:57 --> 00:13:00

Phil was sila de la and who

00:13:01 --> 00:13:06

is desirous of wanting a path to Allah

00:13:08 --> 00:13:11

to find something that will take him close to Allah subhanaw taala

00:13:11 --> 00:13:15

to find them to find something to chance upon something that will

00:13:15 --> 00:13:18

essentially carry him to Allah Allah sila oversee Allah is a

00:13:18 --> 00:13:24

means right? Lizzie mom in her job the will Barbie BD it who do they

00:13:24 --> 00:13:28

Shariati mean? Kitabi la Tada. So anybody who Allah subhanaw taala

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

has expanded his heart and the confirmation has reached his heart

00:13:34 --> 00:13:37

who's looking for a path to him? Then what will he do? This is what

00:13:37 --> 00:13:41

he's telling us that a person who seeks this should be doing loves

00:13:41 --> 00:13:42

him I mean Hajah will tell Bob

00:13:43 --> 00:13:50

they will be holding fast and adhering to the methodology the

00:13:50 --> 00:13:53

path the man hutch,

00:13:54 --> 00:13:55

the methodology, the path

00:13:57 --> 00:14:02

of the people with true intellect that will help Bob be the it who

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

do the Sharia by being very mindful of the limits of the

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

Sharia from the Kitab of Allah subhanaw taala and the sunitinib e

00:14:11 --> 00:14:16

le salatu salam and the Sunnah of His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa

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

sallam

00:14:18 --> 00:14:22

were much dumber either you will do in a minute ima see this is a

00:14:22 --> 00:14:28

classical scholar before any any Potamia was around before any of

00:14:28 --> 00:14:32

us early was around him a whole lot of data. And he's saying that

00:14:32 --> 00:14:37

also, he's saying the Quran, the book of Allah, the Sunnah, and

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

that which the guided Imams those who have been guided among the

00:14:42 --> 00:14:45

Imams have agreed upon.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

So this is somebody who was writing in the early two hundreds

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

who is also discussing that idea.

00:14:55 --> 00:14:58

And yet they were much closer to the Quran, sunnah, in terms of

00:14:58 --> 00:14:59

time than we were

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

They had much more of a chance only, you know, 200 years have

00:15:03 --> 00:15:06

passed since the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam. So

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

these people are still taking that into consideration at the time. So

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

what right? Do people of this time have to say, let's just dismiss

00:15:16 --> 00:15:20

everything that has happened in between all of that was a waste of

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

time, let's go back to the early ones, basically recreate a new

00:15:24 --> 00:15:25

system. That's what they do.

00:15:26 --> 00:15:30

We dismiss everything in between, we just go right back in between

00:15:30 --> 00:15:33

the zero Tamia and ignore claim that come in, so we'll kind of

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

take them and there's a few humbly scholars in between that we can

00:15:35 --> 00:15:38

kind of use a bit. But otherwise, we should go all the way back

00:15:38 --> 00:15:43

everything for 1300 years is just all been, you know, corrupt.

00:15:43 --> 00:15:45

That's essentially what the claim is.

00:15:48 --> 00:15:51

That there's two approaches to that. One is an approach where

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

they do this

00:15:53 --> 00:15:55

by dismissing everything in between,

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

except those few individuals in between, and saying we need to

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

take everything directly. Then there's a the other group which

00:16:04 --> 00:16:07

respects everything in between, but do not think they have to

00:16:07 --> 00:16:12

adhere to any in particular, they can go back to the top rated for

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

this time, reinterpret completely, and take some light some guidance

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

from the people in between. We think all of that is disrespect

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

and a waste of time. And the reason is that for 1400 years, as

00:16:27 --> 00:16:30

the Ummah progressed as the world progress, things have changed.

00:16:30 --> 00:16:33

Yes, there will be certain things that will require some fresh HD

00:16:33 --> 00:16:40

hard, some renewal, some maybe, you know, new HD hard for the new

00:16:40 --> 00:16:45

situations that are there. But otherwise, we are basically why do

00:16:45 --> 00:16:49

we want to dismiss and reinvent the entire wheel? Do we think all

00:16:49 --> 00:16:50

of these people were

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

not sincere, not knowledgeable enough,

00:16:55 --> 00:16:56

didn't have access to the sources.

00:16:57 --> 00:17:01

So that's why we're here are the who are Serato monster team. This

00:17:01 --> 00:17:07

is the straight path Allah de la Heba who, which Allah subhanaw

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

taala has invited his servants to for kala La Jolla as and hence

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

even his

00:17:18 --> 00:17:19

his

00:17:22 --> 00:17:26

honorifics to Allah subhanaw taala a well thought out they're not the

00:17:26 --> 00:17:28

normal okay Allah Allah Allah, Allah Allah Allah Allah Allah who

00:17:28 --> 00:17:32

you know which people will just say as soon the first one he says

00:17:32 --> 00:17:37

something else for color as well Allah, right, the one who's Aziz

00:17:37 --> 00:17:42

who's, who's mighty and high. Then here he's got for kala jello as

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

instead of as a gel. So he's he is really obviously saying this in a

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

very premeditated way. Gel, the one who's majestic and Aziz and

00:17:51 --> 00:17:56

mighty, majestic and mighty, and what is the first one Maha Sarathi

00:17:56 --> 00:18:00

Mustafi Iman fit the Biru This is my path

00:18:01 --> 00:18:04

straight this is my straight path, follow it while at the Bureau

00:18:04 --> 00:18:10

subrule. So, and do not follow the other paths. Do not do not follow

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

the paths. This is my path. There's many other paths. That

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

tells us that he is saying Allah is saying that there are other

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

paths. Further Farakka become severe because if you do go on to

00:18:21 --> 00:18:26

these other paths, then it will distract you take you away and

00:18:26 --> 00:18:28

disband you from my path.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:36

Vertical Masako me this is what he advises you. He counsels you

00:18:36 --> 00:18:40

emphasizes to you live on the taco, so that you can gain true

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

God fearing this and taco.

00:18:44 --> 00:18:48

What Claude Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa salam. He's laying all

00:18:48 --> 00:18:51

the foundations. He's laying out all the foundations before he goes

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

into his

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

specific advices were called Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa

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

sallam Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said Alikum be Suniti

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

this is the base. So the first part the first evidence that this

00:19:06 --> 00:19:09

ayah that he just read that this is my path and do not follow other

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

paths. This is proof for what? That you must follow the Kitab of

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

Allah, you must follow the way of Allah. That's the proof from the

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

Quran about this is using textual evidence. Then he's using again

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

another evidence to prove that you must follow rasool Allah and Allah

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

is Allah this is following sunnah or they can be sunnah T was

00:19:25 --> 00:19:30

fundamental Hola, Rashi venal Maha Dean. How do they have been urges?

00:19:31 --> 00:19:32

Which is

00:19:34 --> 00:19:39

this is related by Imam Mahdi mama Budo to me the many others how the

00:19:39 --> 00:19:42

Hadith and Hassan and Sahelian Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said

00:19:42 --> 00:19:47

Alikum it is necessary for you to hold fast to my sunnah. And the

00:19:47 --> 00:19:49

Sunnah of the hole of Arashi, Dean after me

00:19:51 --> 00:19:52

that just opens up the scope.

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

Now he hasn't mentioned that hadith here.

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

There's another Hadith we

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

say that

00:20:02 --> 00:20:05

although this four should not have qualified Iraqi dinar embody

00:20:06 --> 00:20:10

although you've got this that you must follow the force because he

00:20:10 --> 00:20:13

is pretty much guaranteed that nothing is going to happen wrong

00:20:14 --> 00:20:18

they will never legislate anything he had so much trust in them that

00:20:18 --> 00:20:22

they will not legislate anything wrong after me these four that's

00:20:22 --> 00:20:26

why he said this because he says it's it is necessary upon you to

00:20:26 --> 00:20:31

follow my son and the son of the Holy Father regime after me hola

00:20:31 --> 00:20:35

for the beliefs are shedding Rightly Guided caliphs

00:20:37 --> 00:20:39

outdo or they have been nervous

00:20:41 --> 00:20:44

although means to bite onto something and hold on to something

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

with your teeth out like to take a good bite or they have been

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

negligent negligent your pre molars. So hold fast on to this

00:20:53 --> 00:20:56

with your teeth. Like don't let go like you know the last the last

00:20:56 --> 00:20:59

resort. You want to get your mouth you know, you want you're holding

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

your hands you can't do that you hold with your mouth if you can.

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

It's a holdfast to it. We're going to hold on to something like with

00:21:05 --> 00:21:08

your hands, your body and your mouth. So like that's the extreme.

00:21:09 --> 00:21:13

Now it doesn't say for in here. But there's another Hadith which

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

says that the healer for after me will be for 40 years.

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

After that will come Malecon I'll do the biting kings ships and

00:21:25 --> 00:21:28

sovereignty. Those 40 years finished

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

overcrossing are the island two and a half years.

00:21:32 --> 00:21:37

I'm going to the Allahu Anhu was about 10 or 11 years. I was

00:21:37 --> 00:21:41

smarter than I was about 12 years. Now earlier the alarm was about

00:21:41 --> 00:21:45

four to five years. And then it was six months left. So let's say

00:21:45 --> 00:21:51

30 years 30 Or sorry, 30 years 30 years. Yeah, that's that should be

00:21:51 --> 00:21:54

30 years, 30 years, there was six months left. Hussein with the

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

Allahu Akbar became the next Khalifa after I do the six and

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

then he gave it up. Then he went to Mario, the Allah and others. So

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

that's why

00:22:02 --> 00:22:07

many people want to dismiss they just call him a mere more reo.

00:22:08 --> 00:22:11

That's going overboard with it. We won't say that they had the

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

Khilafah to rush it in. But he still was a good Salif, he brought

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

a lot of

00:22:17 --> 00:22:19

peace back to the Muslim lands afterwards.

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

So based on that hadith, we know who the whole of Russia and the

00:22:25 --> 00:22:29

fact that even if you take this into general that if you do find

00:22:29 --> 00:22:35

Khalifa, Al Khalifa Rashid afterwards, even afterwards, then

00:22:35 --> 00:22:39

you should hold fast to them. But that has to be done vouchsafed by

00:22:39 --> 00:22:43

the amount of the time it is like for example, if you want to quote

00:22:43 --> 00:22:46

Omar Abdulaziz Al Khalifa, the Bush, Jr. A lot of this is

00:22:46 --> 00:22:49

generally found in hindsight, unfortunately, people don't

00:22:49 --> 00:22:53

recognize at the time sometimes, but either way, then as I said,

00:22:53 --> 00:22:56

there was another Hadith in which the Prophet sallallahu Sallam

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

mentioned specifically the two after me Abu Bakr and Omar,

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

because they it says that you can follow what they legislate. This

00:23:04 --> 00:23:06

just shows you complete

00:23:07 --> 00:23:10

Yaqeen and trust over what these people were going to do.

00:23:16 --> 00:23:18

So that is the proof for the Sunnah.

00:23:21 --> 00:23:26

While I'm under 30, you gotta kita Billahi. So, how do you fulfill

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

the rights of the book of Allah? Before we go into the Sunnah? How

00:23:30 --> 00:23:33

would you fulfill the rights of the book of Allah, He says, alarma

00:23:33 --> 00:23:35

will be hooked me him in an Umbreon nahi.

00:23:37 --> 00:23:42

I think we covered a bit of this in the last section, which is to

00:23:42 --> 00:23:48

act on to practice the commands of the Quran based on its commands

00:23:48 --> 00:23:51

and prohibitions so fulfill its commands and abstain from its

00:23:51 --> 00:23:55

prohibitions. While hopeful what Roger only worthy he were worried

00:23:56 --> 00:24:02

and to have great hope and fear for the punishments mentioned in

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

the Quran, the warnings mentioned in the Quran, and hope in all the

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

promises that are mentioned in the Quran as as we mentioned, you

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

should listen to them and if you weren't here for that one, it's

00:24:12 --> 00:24:16

talking about how to read the Quran. How to read the Quran, in

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

in terms of

00:24:23 --> 00:24:27

understanding its meaning and to focus where Allah subhanaw taala

00:24:27 --> 00:24:32

wants us to focus everywhere there's a verse that shows some

00:24:32 --> 00:24:35

promise then you ask for it. Anyway it's a warning about

00:24:35 --> 00:24:37

something or a punishment mentioned. Then you seek

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

you seek

00:24:42 --> 00:24:47

refuge from it for either Well, Iman will be more shabby he and

00:24:47 --> 00:24:50

those those aspects of the Quran which are motor shall be heard

00:24:50 --> 00:24:53

then you you you just believe in them and you leave them to Allah

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

subhanaw taala like the Hand of Allah and Alif Lam Meem

00:24:56 --> 00:24:59

Thalassemia C etc. What at Bobby

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

So see here I'm 30 and then to take heed and lesson from its

00:25:05 --> 00:25:09

stories, and the examples and Proverbs The examples and

00:25:09 --> 00:25:12

anecdotal evidence is that Allah subhanaw taala provides an opener

00:25:12 --> 00:25:16

for either a data biotic when you do all of this for college Daniel

00:25:16 --> 00:25:19

Hello, Matthew Jerry Isla Noodler. And that is the only way you can

00:25:19 --> 00:25:21

come out of darkness

00:25:22 --> 00:25:24

to no avail. That is the only way you can do that.

00:25:26 --> 00:25:30

If you don't read the Quran, and you don't take the message of the

00:25:30 --> 00:25:33

Quran, then we are in darkness. I mean, either we Shakeela Rohingya

00:25:33 --> 00:25:36

teen, and that is how you will come out of the punishment of

00:25:36 --> 00:25:42

being doubtful about things to the satisfaction and luxury of

00:25:42 --> 00:25:46

conviction. The comfort you get from having full convenience,

00:25:46 --> 00:25:49

being fully convinced about somebody, you know, when there's a

00:25:49 --> 00:25:52

fitna that takes place, or challenge or difficulty. And you

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

don't know which way to go in it.

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

It's punishment, because you don't know which way to go. How do I

00:25:59 --> 00:26:03

approach this? Which way do I go with this? You understand? When

00:26:03 --> 00:26:06

you know when you've made up your mind, and you think it's on

00:26:06 --> 00:26:09

guidance, then how comfortable you feel it doesn't bother you, you

00:26:09 --> 00:26:10

can carry on do other work.

00:26:11 --> 00:26:14

That's basically now imagine somebody is approached like this

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

to the dean. Unfortunately, many people have absolute ignorance of

00:26:18 --> 00:26:21

the dean. And they are completely happy about that. So they even

00:26:21 --> 00:26:25

worse than the person who's doubtful. But those people, they

00:26:25 --> 00:26:29

may be happy in general, because they're just asleep. And they're

00:26:29 --> 00:26:32

completely negligent. But whenever something happens in their life,

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

they start feeling extreme difficulty. That's when the

00:26:35 --> 00:26:39

darkness just comes on to them, the lights will go off, you know,

00:26:39 --> 00:26:42

and somebody doesn't know, they've been in darkness for a very long

00:26:42 --> 00:26:48

time. So they learn to basically take tablets pills, to keep away

00:26:49 --> 00:26:53

the darkness to keep away the feeling of darkness. So they stay

00:26:53 --> 00:26:57

elated. That's by doing haram things. Generally, that's what

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

we're doing.

00:27:00 --> 00:27:04

You see so many people, but then every few weeks or something,

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

something's going to happen, that's going to make them remember

00:27:07 --> 00:27:09

and they're going to feel really bad, then they're going to have to

00:27:09 --> 00:27:14

find some other way to get back into sleep again. Do you know what

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

I'm talking about? Somebody who's not very practicing who doesn't

00:27:17 --> 00:27:19

know much about the Quran, or whatever the case is.

00:27:21 --> 00:27:24

You don't see that then some kind of darkness. They seem to be

00:27:24 --> 00:27:28

enjoying their life. They their their martial law, just not

00:27:28 --> 00:27:30

martial law, but the you know, they are just what it is martial

00:27:30 --> 00:27:33

law, whatever Allah wills, right, they're doing what they we think

00:27:33 --> 00:27:36

martial is is positive. MashAllah is whatever Allah wills, right, it

00:27:36 --> 00:27:37

could be negative

00:27:38 --> 00:27:41

in the apparent sense of it. So you see a lot of people, they are

00:27:41 --> 00:27:45

just enjoying their life, high flying, whatever the case is, no,

00:27:45 --> 00:27:49

but the darkness you'll feel inside, I just dealt with a case

00:27:49 --> 00:27:52

of the guy who is not getting along with his parents, and

00:27:52 --> 00:27:57

whatever the case is very convinced about his approach. Like

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

so convinced he feels his parents are completely against his wife.

00:28:02 --> 00:28:05

And he's taken full on his wife is completely wants to disregard His

00:28:05 --> 00:28:09

parents and everything like that. And you think that he's taken this

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

very

00:28:13 --> 00:28:16

firm approach where he feels very confident about it.

00:28:17 --> 00:28:22

But when you probe deeper, he is not happy at all.

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

He is not happy at all.

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

So that is the problem with taking firm decisions, to live a wrongful

00:28:31 --> 00:28:38

life, on the apparent side of it, you may be enjoying it, but inside

00:28:38 --> 00:28:39

you will be deeply troubled.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:43

So now when this guy gets deeply troubled, that's when this

00:28:43 --> 00:28:46

darkness suddenly comes because you wake up to reality you're not

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

in, you're not under your influence of drugs right now.

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

That's how these people alcohol and all that that's what they have

00:28:52 --> 00:28:56

to stay in that state when they become fully alcoholic, because

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

it's the only way they can live their life. There's so many people

00:28:58 --> 00:29:01

like that outside, they may be high fliers, but then they have to

00:29:01 --> 00:29:04

go into drugs, or are these celebrities were coming of them

00:29:04 --> 00:29:09

have died from drug overdoses? Because their whole euphoria is

00:29:09 --> 00:29:14

wrong, where they're getting the whole, you know, the enjoyment in

00:29:14 --> 00:29:16

their life is completely in the wrong direction.

00:29:18 --> 00:29:22

Now, the person who's trying in between, right who's not found it

00:29:22 --> 00:29:25

yet, then he's going to feel the punishment because he's got

00:29:25 --> 00:29:28

nothing to numb his punishment. But there's more hope for this

00:29:28 --> 00:29:32

person, because he's in that punishment of doubt, is more hope

00:29:32 --> 00:29:36

that he will come right. Whereas the person who's constantly taking

00:29:37 --> 00:29:41

tranquilizers and you know, constantly taking drugs and drink

00:29:41 --> 00:29:45

and just other enjoyments they're never going to come to the site

00:29:45 --> 00:29:48

because they have found another way to placate themselves, which

00:29:48 --> 00:29:52

is for short term only. So that's what he's talking about. Call

00:29:52 --> 00:29:55

Allah who is caught Allah Who Gela the crew, Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:29:55 --> 00:29:56

who's

00:29:57 --> 00:30:00

who's mentioned who who's remembered and says majeste

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

Stick says Allah is Willie you're Latina. Amen Oh that's one of the

00:30:03 --> 00:30:08
