Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, Allah Hina Ave Aisha de
hookman de la, the people who believe they are the most ardent
and strongest in their love for Allah subhanho wa Taala so why is
it that we can't say I love you Allah? Why is it that we can't
think of loving Allah subhanaw taala because love is not just
something you say, right? You can't just say I love you to
someone. It's not really love is a very strong emotion. Right? You
don't want to be saying that to people just for the sake of it.
Right? Because then it just sounds fake. Because love show when you
have love for something, you do everything for it. Love literally
blinds you and defends you.
hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen
wa Salatu was Salam wa ala Sayidina Muhammad woreda early he
was sabe he was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira on Ilario MIDI and
my beret.
God Allah with the baraka with the rnfl Quran emoji, they will
decline it Hamid Well, Lavina Manu, Usha Hogben Nila
Sadaqa Allahu La vie.
Allah subhanho wa Taala
He has created us and then he manages the affairs of the world.
And part of the management of the affairs of this world is that he
provides for us and He sustains us. He takes care of us, He
provides the facilities within which we operate the environment
in which we live. He provides us the capabilities of breathing,
eating, drinking, sustaining ourselves, of thinking, of getting
by in this life of assisting others, and allowing others to
assist us
of doing things for ourselves and doing things for others by doing
business and trade, to provide a living for ourselves and to
provide facilities and goods and merchandise and things that what
other people need. That's what humans produce. Humans are a
collective community, a social community that assist one another
and that, that care for one another. And that cater for one
another.
Sometimes within all of that, within thinking about ourselves
and thinking about others. Whether that mean that be through
compassionate means whether that be through trade or business, we
sometimes forget the one who is giving it to us all. The one who's
providing everything, the one who's facilitating everything, the
one who were here, because he wanted us to be here, and he
decided that we would be here as opposed to someone else. So by
this, Allah subhanaw taala wants us to not forget him. So he tells
us that you pray at least five times a day. And Akeem is solid
politically established the prayer for my remembrance. So we focus on
the prayer, the prayer is for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala and
to remember him. So it's actually to remember Allah subhanaw taala
in the sense that he is our Creator. And that's where
ultimately we're going to return to him as well. Now, the
interesting thing here is that the more you know about something, the
more you become attracted to it. The more you know about something
as long as it has good qualities you become attracted to it.
So for example,
if you're looking for a car or a house, you find the house, you're
looking for a house, you see many, and you dismiss many of them. Why
would you dismiss many houses, in fact, when you start looking for a
house, you start looking online for listings, that's the new way
of doing it before you'd have to drive around the neighborhood and
see whether for sale boards are nowadays you do it from the
comfort of your own home from your phone, and they show you pictures
and everything, you will just probably dismiss many of them just
by looking at them. And then there's a few that you will single
out that these are worth going to see. Because if you were to look
at every house that's available in the area, I mean, there's so many
houses. So you go and you look at them. And then as soon as you look
at them, you make a decision, whether it's something that you
want or not, it's a big decision.
Now, if there's one or two that catch your interest, then there's
still a number of other hurdles that you have to overcome. But why
did they catch your interest is the question they caught your
interest because they have features that attract you. That
your heart inclines towards that your heart begins to like you like
those things. And the more feature that house with will have then the
more infatuated you will become with that house. And then you will
be really sad if you were to lose it.
You'll feel losing it, in fact, and then it becomes a bidding
process of who pays the most, especially if it's a competitive
market, then why are people willing to pay so much more, they
say that if you're going to buy a house to live in, then you'll,
you'll pay more. Because you're going to live in there forever,
and the price will eventually appreciate. If you're buying
something for investment, then you know, you have to try to get the
best price because it's an investment, you're trying to
maximize your profits. But here your profit is you're living in
them. So why do we bid more? Why do we go after something? Why do
we make such an effort behind it is because the qualities of that
house as opposed to other houses or other homes have attracted us.
Similarly, when you want to buy when you want to buy a phone,
phones are much more of an easier purchase than a car, for example,
or than a house,
you could even make a mistake in a phone, you'd lose, you might lose
a bit of money, and you may have to resell the phone if you don't
like it.
But when it comes to a car and other things, it just gets more
complicated.
But again, it's the same thing, if I've identified one car that I
need, because I had to get rid of my car for Ulus purposes to
so that you don't get charged every day.
For the the environment tax or whatever they've put on the cars.
So now I found the car that I'm interested in. Why am I interested
in that car, because it seems to fit the criteria I'm looking for.
It has the qualities and characteristics that interests me.
That's why I've singled out that car has seven seats, and it's this
that another and he has those, those few things. But there's a
few other things that I would have liked to have. But it doesn't have
that, but I'm willing to, I'm willing to overlook those things
because he has because there's no car that has everything, unless
you want to buy a brand new car, you want to order it, even then
you may not get 100% everything but we are limited in terms of how
much you can pay.
It's only in paradise where you can literally want whatever you
want, and have a designer, you know designed to exact
specification and there is no
and there's no one for money there. There's no one for cash
there because our rewards inshallah will be very, very
valuable in the hereafter our good deeds once we get into paradise.
But here you get a budget you have to worry about as well.
So now what happens is that there's a few characteristics and
now suddenly somebody tells you about another car and alternative.
Until now your whole mind was focused on this car, you literally
as they say have bushy your me were your Sim, right? The love of
something blinds and defends you. So you didn't want to look at any
it's too confusing. Right? That's why you don't look at others too
confusing. You know, you want to focus on what your object of your,
your desire, when somebody tells you, you really need to check this
car. So you start looking at it cursor in a cursory way. And there
are certain features that stand out to you. And they attract you.
So you go and you take a test drive, you know, a friend's friend
has one, so you're gonna really like it.
So now it's between these two cards now.
And then what happens is that you finally decided this card because
it has more going for it. There's more attraction in there because
there's more characteristics that are attracting you compared to the
other one.
Sitting you decide to buy that car.
Now, why did you get off the other car? Because you found an
alternative?
Number one, you found an alternative? Why was that
alternative better than that? It wasn't an arbitrary decision was
it? You know, for somebody who thinks is not an arbitrary
decision. I know one person he needs a car. He literally went out
found he needed a van. Right? He found the first van.
He found the first van within four hours anyone bought it because he
just needed a van. That's it. He didn't care what it was he was the
first van he bought, paid the money and took took it and then he
had to deal with whatever the consequences. Most people don't do
that today. You don't just go and buy a car like that in four hours.
Unless it's for 300 pounds or something somebody's flogging it,
you know, it's a good amount of money you're going to spend,
you're going to think about it. So what attracted you to this one as
opposed to that one, because it's a better alternative. It's got
more characteristics. That means this had more shortcomings.
Because if that has more characteristics, that means this
has more shortcomings. Think about it that way. Right? It's a good
car on its own. But when you've compared it then for you that has
more going than that somebody else this may have more than that.
Subhanallah Subhanallah now what happens is
this is the exact dilemma that I think we're dealing with when it
comes to Allah subhanaw taala that car that you the two cars that you
are now interested in when you are interested in that first car you
started seeing that car everywhere.
Before that it didn't really exist, at least not in your scope
of vision. It existed there were many on the roads. But now that
you're interested in it, you start seeing them everywhere. Where did
they will spring up from?
Did they just suddenly supply them the day before and everybody
bought them, and now they're everywhere? No, they've been there
from before. But we weren't bothering to look at them because
they did not interest us. It was not a form of it was not an object
of attraction until now. Now what happens is, when you found the
second car, you see those more. And these ones, you start seeing
less again, they start going into oblivion, you'll still notice
them. Because you're like, still comparing, like, Alhamdulillah, I
didn't get that one. You'll be feeling like Alhamdulillah, I
didn't get that one. So you'll still notice it.
But it's the other one that you now start seeing everywhere.
So now it's the same thing.
It's the same kind of thing with Allah subhanaw taala.
The reason we can't see Allah, in a sense, you can't see him anyway.
But the reason we can't even see his signs everywhere is because
we're not interested.
We don't, we're not interested, we've not attached our heart to
him.
Why haven't we attached our heart to him, if there's something good
that has a attraction, then you're going to attach your heart to it.
Especially if it is really, really
a strong attraction,
a very strong attraction in there, then you can't help it. But as I
said, first, the reason why we didn't see the second car, is
because we had a focus on the first car. The reason why we
didn't see those on the streets before is because we were not
interested in we had an alternative. And the reason why
then we started focusing on the second car over the first car, is
because the second one attracted us and took our attraction away
from the first one.
Sometimes you've seen people making a bad decision having you
where they will completely abandon a good thing and take a bad thing
for you don't understand why, but they do some reason. They have
their own personal reasons, they they will let go of some a better
deal and go for something inferior. Why would they do that?
Maybe because of some some weird idea, you know, some personal
preference, maybe some wrong idea. Everybody's sending him get that
one. But the person may have made this decision after 567. Now, we
don't want to judge people's decision. But after 567 years,
they decided themselves that I made the wrong decision.
I should not have married here. I should not have moved here. I
should not have done this. I shouldn't have taken this job. I
shouldn't have done this course. Maybe even after one year,
everybody was telling them something else. But they decided
to go for something inferior. Are we deluded like that as well?
Where the reason why we can't see Allah subhanaw taala the reason
why we can't experience Him everywhere is because we're just
focused on other things too much. I guess the better example is that
there's a responsibility that we have that we better prepare for
something you know, you have to go for Hajj or whatever and you kept
delaying it, delaying it, delaying it because you're focused on
something else. I
don't really want to take off work I want to do this first I want to
spend on this first I want to get that new sofa set. I want to get
that new TV or whatever it is, then I'll go for Hutch
that is that a decision that we're taking?
Allah subhanho wa Taala says in the Quran, Valentina. Ave, Aisha,
hug Mandela, the people who believe they are the most ardent
and strongest in their love for Allah subhanho wa taala.
So why is it that we can't say I love you Allah? Why is it that we
can't think of loving Allah subhanaw taala? Because love is
not just something you say, right? You can't just say I love you to
someone. It's not really love is a very strong emotion. Right? You
don't want to be saying that to people just for the sake of it.
Right? Because then it just sounds fake. Because love. When you have
love for something, you do everything for it. Love literally
blinds you and defends you. Now what is love? You see, that's the
thing. People have brothers and sisters right? Now you may just
love one of your brothers sisters more than the other. It doesn't
mean that you have to be unfair to the others or you are unfair to
that you just love one more than the other. Why? Because Allah has
put that in your heart. You can't help it.
You may love one of your children more than the others. Your equal
you you treat them all well, but it's just one you love more than
others.
Those who have children will probably understand that which is
the most beloved child generally.
They say there's a few contenders in this they say the eldest one
because he's probably the first one, then they say that the last
one is always the most beloved.
And
he's the most he or she is most beloved until the next one comes
along, then they become the most beloved. And the third candidate
is the one who's sick. They become the most beloved for that moment
as well. So where does that put the middle children? Anybody a
middle child here.
Don't feel too bad.
Subhan Allah, I mean, you were the youngest at one time anyway, so
Hamdulillah. So they say that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam treated all of his wives equally nine at once. But he had a
shot of the Allah one, he just had a natural love for her more than
others. Just the natural love not that's placed by Allah. They call
that in Arabic, they call the hub fit three.
Right? They call that hub, fit three, natural love, you can't
help it's an inherent natural love that you can't help. It's just,
you love something. Now, the good thing about this is that you could
have inherent love for many things, right? If it's good, what
you have inherent love for and it's something that love is called
for the Hamdulillah. Like, you know, we have to love our
children, we have to love our parents, you have to love the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, we have to love Allah subhanaw taala if
somebody has the inherent love for Allah, and you just inclined
towards the Prophet salallahu Salam and loves him as well,
that's wonderful, you don't have to make an effort if you're it's
already there, because it's naturally there.
But sometimes, you can't have you don't have that
you don't have a natural love for something, you might even have an
aversion or you may just be non committal, just neutral towards
something. But it's something you must love, then what
your job would become easy if you start loving it to a certain
degree.
So now if you think
it's not the best job that I could get, but my chalet pays well, and
it lets me sustain in this climate, you know, sustain myself
in this climate and my family. So let me put everything in it. So
you start looking at the qualities of this work, and you try to gain
an affection, or an attachment, or a connection with the work that
you're doing. Likewise, you have to work with somebody. And with
some people, you just naturally hit it off by other people, it's a
bit more difficult.
You may enter a class. And there's certain teachers you just find a
huge amount of harmony with and congeniality with their demeanor,
your demeanor just matches, there's others.
It's difficult, right? They may be very strict, or they may be
very laid back. Or they may be
whatever else it could be.
But you know that to get through and to be successful, you're going
to have to make this work. So you start How do you make it work?
Here in all of these cases, you need the other type of love.
Because you don't have natural love. So in this one, you need
hope gaspee
That's the other type of love. They say hope guestspy The
acquired love, how do you acquire love, you focus on the good
points.
You focus on the good characteristics. And that is how
you acquire love and affection. Or a connection with something at
least even if it's not affection is connection with something. So
you think of all of the positives that your work, there may be some
negatives. But you think of all of the positives. And that's how you
start focusing. That's why they say that even husband and wife
relationship where there's a bit of a disharmony. The point is and
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam actually encouraged towards this
by saying that a believer should not hate his wife. Because if he
is not satisfied with certain characteristics, there will be
others that he should be satisfied with can't be all bad. Because
nothing is all bad, except shaytan is all bad. And everything relates
shaytaan is all bad. Right? She thought can never be good. But
even human Shakedowns can actually become good and turn around. So
focus on the good aspects. And that's how you create connection
with something and maybe even love of that thing. Now, when you have
love for something, then it does a lot of things. I have a friend
who's an expert on love and I mean, this is quite clear that you
begin to love something. Now one thing you have to remember is that
when you if you feel suddenly attracted to something,
think about why you're attracted to that thing. This will give you
an understanding. Let's just say that it's a car you see, man that
looks really nice or house you see or a phone or some person. It's a
man you see a woman and you suddenly become attracted
To her, what are you being attracted to?
It could be many things. It could be her beauty.
Right? Somebody else may not be you may be like a cold beauty, he
may be a warm beauty, there's different types of beauty. Right?
You may be attracted to one thing, somebody may be attracted to
another thing. It may be something even more
Subhanallah I mean,
maybe I should just say this could be maybe something so
insignificant.
Right, or something so shallow as the way
they walk.
Right? Literally, somebody may become attracted to the opposite,
because of the way they walk.
Because of the way certain body parts are emphasized or something
like that. I mean, that this is a shallow as it gets. And I think
that's it. That's why I want Why do you want that just for one
point, that one point,
I want to get married to this person because of this. Nobody
else I've seen. Does it that way or wears clothes that way? Or
dresses up that way? Or puts makeup on that way? Or
has such a car or whatever.
Now is marriage what is marriage about? Is that what marriage is
about the way somebody walks? The way somebody dresses the way
somebody looks? Is that what marriage is about you under for
marriage? Right? So how can that be? Is that in harmony with
marriage? No, not at all. Because marriage is not that you're going
to just watch somebody walk, or watch the way they dress, or put
them somewhere and just watch them all day. There's a number of other
characteristics that are required in marriage. So you want to get a
package. Okay, this one character is might be fine. But you need a
number of characteristics.
What you should give your heart to,
what you should give you affection to your connection to your
association to should be a package of characteristics.
A collection of them not just one point. This is where people make
the biggest mistake. This is the mechanics of love, you become
attracted to one characteristic and you think that's it, that's
all I need. You don't. In fact, they don't even know that the
actual entity becomes cloaked in that one characteristic becomes
just one characteristic. And you don't know, you just start feeling
like that's what I need, you actually don't need that you need
a lot more than that.
Because everything else in there could be negative.
And that is why they also say something similar, which is that
if you become attracted to something, and it's unhealthy for
you, because if you have, whether that's natural love that you have
or you've acquired a love for something haram by bad addiction,
an addiction of something bad that what essentially what a person has
done in addiction is that they've focused focus so much on what they
perceive a good characteristics of something, and they become
infatuated with it. Now it's actually become a medical problem,
a psychological problem, because it's an addiction, a psychological
problem, you actually now hate that thing. But it's an addiction
now, that gets really, really crazy.
So the only way to disassociate from something now is to start
focusing on the bad characteristics.
Because it's the good characteristics unless it becomes
an addiction that becomes more complicated. But an infatuation,
not an addiction. And Infatuation is the way to help an infatuation
is to now start focusing on the bad characteristics
that will start to pull us away from that thing.
Now if you put this whole thing
Allah says in the Quran, that those who believe they are most
intense in their love for Allah,
why should they be most intense in their love for Allah? And why
aren't we? Well, the reason is that we've not thought of the
characteristics of Allah subhanaw taala.
The only way we can become associated with Allah subhanho wa
Taala is think about his characteristics. That's how you'll
get to love Allah.
Now, what's really interesting is that the only two things that are
absolute good
and have no bad whatsoever, and it's all good characteristics,
just a whole collection of good characteristics and attributes is
Allah and His Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and everything
associated to them. Everything else has good and bad.
So there is no way that if we start learning about Allah,
reviewing others ideas, how do you review? How would you read a
review about Allah? You review Allah in the lives of the pious,
their connection with Allah that's how
That's how you understand it,
then there's no way that that cannot attract us.
There's no way that cannot attract us. It's just good quality, good
quality, good quality. There are no bad qualities to dis associate
us. That's the reason.
The reason why we did not know about and we could not see
anywhere, the first car, the second car that we were thinking
about, is because
we weren't focused on we had another car.
So because we got something that is just our security in this
world, our safety that we have our security, our sustenance that we
have, Allah has given us so much that gives us this false
attraction away from Allah subhanho wa taala.
So we don't see what's essential from Allah subhanaw taala I mean,
there's no doubt that anybody who gets closer to Allah subhanaw
taala starts to know Him will love him. But the question is that how
do you get to love him? Well, the way to get to love him is to learn
more about him. I think the the most effective ways of getting to
learn about Allah subhanaw taala is firstly through the Quran, the
meaning of the Quran, we see Allah subhanaw taala in action in the
Quran speaking to us, how he deals with different people
what he's done for us,
what we owe him
all of his qualities than the names of Allah subhanaw taala
found in the Quran. The second thing is to actually focus on the
names
of Allah subhanaw taala.
So when you focus on the names of Allah subhanaw taala there's no
way that that cannot attract us.
When you're looking for mercy, you're talking about the man and
you're Rahim
if for example,
you're you have a problem with somebody, and somebody is
oppressing you. And you're in a situation where somebody is
oppressing you.
You call out to Allah subhanaw taala using the name Yeah, Gohar
Oh, overwhelming one Oh, conqueror, oh, one with absolute
might you call on to that name? Now imagine that you have a
particular characteristic. Right? You have a particular
characteristic, the quality that you're proud of?
Somebody can call you by your name,
say
Maulana Badrul sub.
Right? So you can call out his name. He'd be happy with that.
But if you get to know one another, right, and you find out
how generous he is. And you know, mashallah, how much concern he has
and all of that. And you say, mashallah, he's, you know, this
generous guy here.
And does that make you feel good?
I mean, somebody said Malabo, the rhinos, and it's generous guy, he
has a different effect. Right?
So I can call him a smile.
And this is a really good organizer.
It's a very good coordinator.
Very hard working.
Can you see the effect
on that you're calling out with a characteristic with a quality
qualities are very important to people. When you call out to
Allah, they that means you see, I call out to smile. Like, it's my
look, everybody can call out everybody knows his name. But if I
call out to a quality, that means I know him better than others.
Meaning I know him deeper.
There's a deeper meaning there. And a deeper connection there.
That's why the although the name Allah is greater than everything
else is greatest name. But it's not the only name, meaning he is
Allah. That's it. That's his main name, but then all of the
qualities He wants us to know because that creates awareness.
When we start to learn about Allah subhanaw taala, then we're doing
exactly what He created us for.
Allah created there's certain traditions which tell us that
Allah subhanaw taala created humanity and this entire system,
this whole world and everything so that he could be recognized.
Otherwise, us being here does nothing else.
Just recognition if you remember in the Health Series, the certain
people who are in hellfire, they will call out to Allah. And Allah
will actually lighten their burden or forgive them because he says,
Well, you know me, while you know me that I'm very, I'm very
forgiving. So he's gonna let them go.
Because that's what you call Meriva, for
Allah subhanaw taala Madiba and No, no knowing him, knowledge of
him is one of the greatest things. It's one of the greatest assets
that human beings can have. For example,
you
want expansion in something? Yeah. Was it? Yeah. Bursts it.
You want something? Yeah. Why did
this? There's so many names you can use. There's something very
subtle. Yeah. Latif, your reserach if you want sustenance, if you're
struggling with sustenance, your reserach you're calling out to
Allah subhanho wa Taala you're worried about safety? Yeah. haffi
Yeah, Salah. Yeah. Hatfield, yeah Salam, focusing on the name of
Allah subhana Names of Allah subhanho wa Taala getting to know
him and then applying them in different aspects of our life will
start to make us connected to Allah. When you love something,
you start talking more about it.
Although
we tried to do it the other way we try to impose on ourselves a
regimen of vicar of remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala according
somebody else's name I don't know if you call somebody else's named
the whole day. I don't know if anything will happen. Will you
start to love them?
Probably will start getting tired of them. Like why would you even
call out their name the whole day? Right? But with Allah subhanaw
taala as names calling them out has actually an efficacy benefit.
So that you just can't go wrong with Allah subhanho wa Taala
I think this is one of the things that we miss, we may pray salatu,
masha Allah, we may fast and everything, but the purpose all of
that was to actually remember Allah and to get to know him
better, to talk to Allah subhanho wa Taala through the prayer, what
he inspires us to do rather, likewise to fast for the sake of
Allah subhanaw taala to then see what he opens up for us in our
lives,
to go for Hajj, and go around the house of Allah subhanaw taala
and to get to understand, and then Allah gives us many, many
blessings.
So
let us make it that we can do that Amara, the Allahu anhu, once came
to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and he said, I love you
more than
everything in this world.
All my family,
possessions, everything, except myself.
Just was very honest about he said, I just love myself more than
more than otherwise, everything else. I love you more.
And definitely, so humans love themselves more. You're never
going to say I love myself. But we do everything that we do for
ourselves. When people are arrogant. They do it for
themselves, when they're blinded of their own defects, and they see
defects in others is because they love themselves. When they justify
and they get defensive. No, no, I didn't do that. I'm not like that,
even though they are right. And everybody can say that. And I'm
not like that. I'm not like that. Is because we love ourselves. When
you love something, you will defend it. Right? And a blind you
So We blinded from our own defects.
She said, Look, that's where it is. Rosa said, No, you're not a
complete believer yet. Because complete belief requires more love
for Allah and His Messenger than everything else. So he said to
him, What are they? You're not a complete believer here. Perfect.
He's a believer, but not perfect. You know, the what? The ascendancy
in that. So I'm gonna be alone. After a short while he says, he
says, now jasola I actually love you more than even my own self. So
the province that also said, now Oh, my God reached perfection,

And Allah and His messenger are such that the more you know about
them, the more you read the Sierra the Quran, and Ciara, the more you
can just love Allah and His Messenger, there's no way you can
escape it. There's other people who fall in love with Allah, not
by seeing other Muslims but by reading the Quran by reading the
life of the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam non Muslims who
then eventually become Muslim like that. So
all we can do is to ask Allah to facilitate this path for us and
make it easy for us so that we don't, we're not veiled from him.
We're not veiled from him by being infatuated with other things in
this world. So that we don't see the effects of Allah that signs of
Allah that Names of Allah everywhere.

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