The speakers discuss the importance of balance and truth in life, as it helps to avoid false accusations and instability in the world. They stress the need for everyone to show themselves to be true to oneself and achieve "arreacy" in achieving success. The importance of trusting others, avoiding loss and shortcoming, and fulfilling family responsibilities is also emphasized. The need for people to be aware of negative emotions and avoid double-standing is also emphasized.

			There is no path closer to getting
to Allah subhanaw taala closer to
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:10
			being a believer closer to being
success successful in the
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14
			hereafter closer to being a good
human being than than
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			truthfulness. Now, let's look at
it from another perspective. When
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			you have truth, then there's a
balance in the world, when there's
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:22
			truthfulness, there's a balance in
the world relationships become
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:27
			stronger. I generally always tell
couples, husbands and wives, that
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			any of you make a mistake, just be
upfront with the partner. Just be
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			upfront with your spouse that I've
made a mistake. Because they will
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39
			always find out if you managed to
hide it for a while with anybody,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			actually anybody close to you,
whether that be your spouse,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:44
			whether that be your family, or
anybody else, if you manage to
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:48
			hide it for a long enough time.
And then it's found out it's
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			actually even worse, because how
did you deceive us for so long?
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:55
			People take it as a major affront.
Recently, I had a case like that
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			where they say we lied to me for
this long instead, it was
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00
			apparently a guy was husband was
having an affair and then he lied
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			afterwards. So the wife is getting
really really upset by the fact
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:09
			that he lied. I was trying to
understand I said, Why are you
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			getting so upset by that? I know
it's something to be upset about.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			But you're not complaining about
the affair as much as you're
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:16
			complaining about his deception
afterwards. Like what else do you
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			expect him to do? He's done
something wrong he wants to hide
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:21
			it now nothing is justified to do
that but you're getting more angry
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:24
			about the line but that's the
weird thing here that's what I
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			want to try to highlight here that
you know people can make mistakes
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:32
			but then to lie on top of that is
seen as a much bigger affront was
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			really strange. I've had two cases
like that recently where they're
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			more upset about the you know, the
follow up than they are about the
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			solos like they've said, Okay, you
made a mistake, but should should
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			have come should have been upfront
about
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:55
			millerhill Rahman Rahim Al hamdu
Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu
		
00:01:55 --> 00:02:00
			salam ala Sayidina Muhammad are
the early he will be he albaraka
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:03
			was seldom at the Sleeman Kathira
on Isla yami. Dean
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			a mother in his reselecting
structure the
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:12
			Imam how little or has he be? He
says
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			while I'm on the hula toddy
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			acabo Mina civic
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			wala the leader
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			and Jaya who? Me mineral.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			Wala as well as the Abdullah who
Mina Taqwa
		
00:02:33 --> 00:02:36
			these are a few short short
advices that Imam hydrothermal
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:42
			HiCP is providing each one of them
is actually quite rich. And it
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:47
			needs to be pondered over and
benefited from to see how we can
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:51
			relate it to our lives. Each one
of these will have benefits in our
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			life in sha Allah. So the first
thing he says is that know that
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:01
			there is no path closer than the
path of truth. No plot path closer
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:02
			to the path of truth.
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:08
			Now, this basically is a number of
things. Truthfulness is an
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			extremely important aspect in good
humanity, good ethics being an
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:20
			insane camel. Because everything
is related to the truth. We are
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:23
			here because of the true one which
is ALLAH SubhanA wa Tala al helg.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:24
			Dara, Allah,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:31
			He created us, he this he had the
truth come to us. The Prophet
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:35
			sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the
truth and nothing but the truth.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:40
			He gave us his words, which is the
Quran have to mean that's the
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:44
			clear truth as well. Thereafter
our life is supposed to be full of
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:50
			truth. Truth is what helps to keep
a balance in this world. When you
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:55
			have untruth, there's an imbalance
that gets created. For example,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			there are a number of
establishments in the world today,
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:05
			number of institutions, which have
now lost their reputation lost any
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			kind of reliance upon them or
trust or whatever, for example, a
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:13
			political system, because we're
living in a really weird time
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:20
			where it's almost accepted to have
some untruths, and it's tolerated.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:25
			And people get away with so much
on untruth, just because you can
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:28
			be a bit more savvy about it. You
can be a bit more clever and
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			intelligent and slay about it. So
we live in a really, really
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36
			strange situation. So many things
we read about.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			It's almost like the news media,
in its various different forms,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			most of them, the relationship we
have with them is that it's almost
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:52
			like people think is necessary to
read them. But at the same time,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			the people who are reading them
who think it's necessary to read
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:58
			them know that not everything in
there is the truth. If it's not
		
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00
			completely inaccurate
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Read, then there's definitely a
spin. And if there's no spin, then
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:08
			there's selective reporting, where
you ignore certain aspects based
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:12
			on the narrative, and the policy
and the outlook of the particular
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			news organization. But yet, we
still take news from them, we
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			still read it, for whatever
reason, what a life we're living,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:25
			what a time we're living in, that
if something is not true,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:30
			something is not always true and
is open to doubt, reporting about
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:32
			certain countries or reporting
about certain organizations and
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:35
			certain people or certain
religions, we've seen over and
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			over again,
		
00:05:38 --> 00:05:40
			not even mistakes, not even
blunders just complete
		
00:05:40 --> 00:05:44
			misreporting. And yet we still
have to read them. We still have
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:48
			to go to such outlets, this is
probably no single outlet that's
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			100% Among the me among the
mainstream.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:55
			So we're living in very, very
strange times of the year, he says
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:59
			that there is no path closer to
getting to Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:00
			closer
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:06
			to being a believer, closer to
being success, successful in the
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:10
			Hereafter, closer to being a good
human being than than
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:13
			truthfulness. Now, let's look at
it from another perspective, when
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:16
			you have truth than there's a
balance in the world, when there's
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:19
			truthfulness, there's a balance in
the world relationships become
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:25
			stronger. I generally always tell
couples, husbands and wives, that
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:29
			any of you make a mistake, just be
upfront with the partner. Just be
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:33
			upfront with your spouse that I've
made a mistake. Because they will
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:34
			always find out.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:39
			And if you managed to hide it for
a while with anybody, actually
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:41
			anybody close to you, whether that
be your spouse, whether that be
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:45
			your family, or anybody else, if
you managed to hide it for a long
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:48
			enough time. And then it's found
out it's actually even worse.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:53
			Because how did you deceive us for
so long, people take it as a major
		
00:06:53 --> 00:06:54
			affront.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			Recently, I had a case like that,
where they say they lied to me for
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:58
			this long I said,
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:02
			it was apparently a guy was a
husband was having an affair, and
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:06
			then he lied afterwards. So the
wife is getting really, really
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:12
			upset by the fact that he lied.
Like why I was trying to
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			understand I said, Why are you
getting so upset by that? I know
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:18
			it's something to be upset about.
But you're not complaining about
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			the affair as much as you're
complaining about his deception
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:24
			afterwards. Like, what else do you
expect him to do? He's done
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:26
			something wrong, he wants to hide
it. Now, nothing is justified to
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:30
			do that. But you're getting more
angry about the line. But that's
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:32
			the weird thing here. That's what
I want to try to highlight here.
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:37
			That, you know, people can make
mistakes. But then to lie on top
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			of that is seen as a much bigger
affront was really strange. I've
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:44
			had two cases like that recently,
where they're more upset about
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			the, you know, the follow up than
they are about the solos, like
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:51
			they've said, Okay, you made a
mistake, but should should have
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:54
			come should have been upfront
about it. Now with Allah, You
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			can't lie anyway. You know, there
is no lying with Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:01
			taala, he knows there's no way to
lie. But yes, people like some
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:07
			kind of system, some kind of
transparency and clarity, even if
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:10
			people make a mistake, and people
are willing to forgive that. But
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:14
			when you lie on top of that,
that's seen as a greater problem,
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:17
			that's seen as a much bigger
problem, because that creates
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:20
			instability in the world. And when
you have instability in the world,
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:24
			you can't live a * of a
harmonious, predictable,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			consistent life.
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:30
			It's really troubling, because
you're doubting all the time. Can
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			you see how bad lying is, is a
doubt all the time.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:37
			There's a doubt all the time one
person was telling me, they are
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:41
			part of the him and his group of
people, they are part of inherited
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:47
			businesses, or ongoing family
business in another country. So
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:50
			their parents have started
businesses or grandparents or
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:54
			whoever it was, and they are now
in the business. And in that
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:57
			particular country, there's a lot
of what they call the
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			I forget what it's called them.
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:06
			In order to avoid import tariffs,
import taxes, and so on, they
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:12
			under invoice. So they show less
on the invoice and they find other
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:14
			means to pay and so on, just so
that they don't have to pay so
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:20
			much tax. He's telling me that I
want to avoid it. But I can't
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:23
			because it's my father's business.
And he won't, you know, because
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:24
			they won't be as valuable. And
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:29
			so I was just wondering, you know,
I just I was just curious. Why,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			you know, because he was very,
very very
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:34
			aggrieved about it.
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:38
			So he said, what happens is that
I've noticed that because it
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:42
			happens in there, it kind of then
follows up on too many other
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			things.
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:49
			You because that becomes a kind of
a mindset. You start doing that in
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:52
			other things as well. It becomes
easier to do because once you've
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:55
			broken a taboo, it becomes easier
to do it and other things.
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			So cheating with benefits, welfare
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:03
			and so on, then it becomes easier
to do that elsewhere.
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:07
			It's very difficult to be like
very selective. Now I can't lie
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			here, but I'm okay to lie here.
Some people do actually, they just
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:13
			think it's okay to lie in this
case, but not in this case. So he
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:16
			said, it just carries over to many
other things. And I don't want to
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:19
			do that because it upsets the
whole balance of your life, toward
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:22
			balance of your function, the
whole balance of you as a human
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:25
			being when you want to be a
straight human being, with no
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:26
			doubts in your life
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:31
			with no inconsistencies as clear
as possible.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:39
			So there is that and the benefit
of truthfulness is directly
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:42
			related to spirituality.
Absolutely, and directory
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:46
			spirituality. Because if a person
can be
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:51
			untruthful in other things, then
why you can't really be untruthful
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:54
			with Allah, but they will do
they'll be so deceived that it
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			actually try to be untruthful with
Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:01
			So really strange conundrum even
though the belief tells us that
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:04
			you can't be in truth with Allah
because he knows everything.
		
00:11:05 --> 00:11:09
			Yeah, and the more math is so do
you knows everything acquirable in
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:13
			a common Hublin worried Acaba,
Raman Hubble worried, but it just
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:17
			becomes chronic, it becomes a
chronic problem.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:21
			Now what's really interesting is
if you remember that the soul of
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:21
			lectures
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:28
			it shows that when you start
ascending the McCombs ascending
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:30
			the makan of
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:36
			the various Maxim's of
spirituality, the highest one, the
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			highest one, which is just below
that of prophecy.
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:44
			prophethood can only be gained
through Allah subhanaw taala and
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:48
			that's ended anyway. So is no more
members in the Prophet McCollum
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:53
			anyway, meaning the station of
prophethood. The one below that,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:56
			that humans can reach that
everybody else can reach aside
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:58
			from prophets, is the MACOM of
Siddiqui year
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			of absolute veracity, being the
absolute champions of truth
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:12
			that can only be reached, that is
called MACOM of Sidiki. Like it's
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:18
			a MACOM, of being truthful, like
there is no that its name is that
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			those people who have shown
absolute truthfulness and
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			sincerity to Allah because when a
person is very, very truthful,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			they become sincere.
		
00:12:29 --> 00:12:33
			That's what a class is excellence
is absolute veracity with Allah
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			subhanaw taala.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			So that's how a person becomes
truthful with Allah subhanaw
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:41
			taala. And that's how they can
ascend that. And what's
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:44
			interesting, the Anima says that
that MACOM that specific
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:47
			designation, there's no end to
that. You can keep ascending in
		
00:12:47 --> 00:12:53
			the It's an endless ascent into
that MACOM of CDT so you don't
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			reach there and you're all the
same, then there's people at
		
00:12:56 --> 00:13:01
			different levels within that, but
it's tough, and it's quite, quite
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:04
			an intense MACOM to reach anyway,
because you have to show yourself
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:07
			to be absolutely truthful, as
Allah says in the Quran about the
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:10
			Sahaba and others I mean, human
cover Ananda who I mean who may
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			interview or not but diluted de la
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:20
			so that is why I'm an unloved and
the hula tariqa acquirable Muna
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:26
			sick, there is no path closer and
more facilitated except by civic
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29
			and truthfulness. Then he says
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			wala Delila.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			Angelholm ina level,
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:43
			there is no delille there is no
sign, there is no evidence.
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:46
			More
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:50
			providing of success than
knowledge.
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			More success providing gives you
success if you want success is
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:58
			knowledge. And that's in a worldly
sense. That's in a spiritual
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			sense. That's in a Imani sense,
the more you know, today
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:06
			Subhanallah we believe in Allah.
As we talked about last week, we
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			lost in the last session we
actually believe in Allah and if
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:12
			you're a believer, you believe in
Allah. But I think there's a
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:16
			massive unawareness of Allah
subhanaw taala of who He really
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:20
			is. We know what we must believe
hopefully we know that much to be
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:22
			qualified as believers but
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			in order to love him, you need
knowledge of Him because you can't
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:29
			love somebody unless you know
their characteristics. The way to
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			love something through there, why
do you love something is because
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			of their characteristic you like a
characteristic of this? And Allah
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:37
			has all the beautiful
characteristics but Allah Hill
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			Asmaa Hill HERSA,
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:41
			Warilla Hill, methadone Erda.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			So if you don't know it, you don't
you can't love something you don't
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:49
			know that the more you know, and
they have characteristics and you
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:54
			can't even help but love them. And
that's the beauty of this. So it's
		
00:14:54 --> 00:14:58
			the names of Allah subhanaw taala
that will really, really help. So
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			knowledge there is no way
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			have success except through
knowledge. You become more aware
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:07
			of anything and you become more
skilled at it, you become better
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:07
			at it.
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:13
			You become less prone to be
deceived regarding it shaitan
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:15
			can't deceive us if you have a
knowledge of Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:20
			shaitan can't deceive us in sha
Allah, if we have knowledge of the
		
00:15:20 --> 00:15:23
			deen, at least we'll know that
we're doing wrong. It's worse to
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:26
			do something wrong and not knowing
you're doing wrong or is it worse
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:29
			to not do something wrong? And you
know, you're wrong. What is worse?
		
00:15:29 --> 00:15:32
			I don't know. It depends. If you
know you're doing wrong, at least
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:35
			you have a possibility of making
Toba and repentance because you
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39
			have a guilty feeling. But if you
don't know that you're doing
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:42
			wrong, and you actually think
you're doing right. And it's
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:47
			misconceived misconstrued because
shaytaan creates a deception. And
		
00:15:47 --> 00:15:50
			that's even worse. Well as the
above Amina taco.
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:57
			There's there's no provision
provision that is more effective
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:02
			than taco effect, what is
effective provision mean? I think
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:06
			effective provision just means the
most suitable provision that you
		
00:16:06 --> 00:16:11
			can have that helps you get to
your destination. So for every,
		
00:16:11 --> 00:16:18
			you can say that for every active
sport, there are provisions that
		
00:16:18 --> 00:16:23
			they provide for that, you get
into biking, you have these
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			various different
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:31
			replacement, minerals, and so on
that you're supposed to take on
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:35
			your way so that you can have
enough energy. They provide you
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:38
			different packets that you know,
you can purchase at different
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			levels. For each thing, there's
something different for runners,
		
00:16:42 --> 00:16:47
			there's something for bikers,
there's something for hedge,
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:50
			there's provisions, you take on
the way for a journey, you take
		
00:16:50 --> 00:16:54
			provisions. And the idea of
provision is the most appropriate
		
00:16:54 --> 00:16:58
			provision is that which helps you
reach your,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:03
			your destination. So the provision
of this world is taqwa.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:09
			God fearing us, it helps in many,
many different aspects. So in the
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:14
			world, as we're going through this
world, we have to deal with
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:21
			some major issues. The biggest
factors that confront us the
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:25
			biggest challenges that confront
us is what one is how do we make
		
00:17:25 --> 00:17:28
			ourselves truthful to Allah
subhanaw taala and fulfill his
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:32
			obligations? And number two, how
do we deal with people?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:37
			How do we deal with Allah subhanho
wa taala? Number one, fulfill the
		
00:17:37 --> 00:17:40
			obligation stay away from the
prohibitions? That's two things.
		
00:17:41 --> 00:17:44
			But there's other levels that we
which we deal with Allah subhanaw
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			taala, which is, how do we thank
him for anything good that he
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:53
			provides us? And how do we deal
with any loss and shortcoming?
		
00:17:53 --> 00:17:56
			Because those two are important?
They all come from Allah subhanaw
		
00:17:56 --> 00:18:00
			taala. Right. So there's no way to
escape that either. So to worship,
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:04
			to avoid to show your devotion to
avoid
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:11
			prohibitions, and then to deal
with the calamities or successes,
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			adversities, prosperity, good and
bad, that happens to us. How do we
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:18
			deal with that. And for that Taqwa
is the best that God fearing this
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:22
			because that is what tempers it,
along with knowledge, and so on.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			Then the second thing that we deal
with is others. And sometimes the
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:32
			most aggravating factors could
come from your closest ones,
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:37
			because you deal with them on a
more frequent basis. The closest
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			ones, whether that be physically
close, or close through kinship,
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			so that means you're dealing with
your father,
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:47
			you're dealing with your brother,
you're dealing with children,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:51
			you're dealing with your spouse,
And subhanAllah while you could
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:54
			change a spouse, but how would you
change a father? How do you change
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:58
			a mother? The stories that come
up, mother's father's being
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:03
			unfair, being oppressive,
unreasonable,
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			too demanding?
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:12
			And so on and so forth? Extremely
crazy stories. What do you do?
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:16
			Recently, I've had two or three
stories like that. My advice is,
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21
			especially with your close ones,
who you can avoid, in the sense
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			that they are yours Allah has
given them to you so firstly,
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			understand that that father of
yours or Mother of yours, is who
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:27
			God gave you.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:33
			Is no changing that you can change
your spouse. Right, you can change
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:37
			a lot of other things, but you
cannot change your parents or your
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			brothers and sisters, for that
matter. So number one, you're
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:44
			stuck with that. Okay. Now what
people, a lot of people
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:50
			what a lot of people the conundrum
a lot of people go through here is
		
00:19:50 --> 00:19:53
			that especially if they're
religious, and especially if they
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:56
			want, everyone wants to be with
their family.
		
00:19:58 --> 00:19:59
			Everybody wants a stable
stability.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			In the family, that's a nice thing
to have. They are closest ones.
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			That's where you would like your
stability. If you have stability
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:10
			everywhere else at work, and so on
when you go back home, interacted
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:11
			family and you have trouble.
		
00:20:12 --> 00:20:16
			That's a bit troublesome. You
know, you can change your group of
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:18
			friends, you can change a company,
you can change a lot of other
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:22
			things. But you have trouble with
your friends, is it with your
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:24
			family is very, very difficult. So
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:30
			there's this inherent desire to
have stability with your family,
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:34
			to be on good terms. But what do
you do? So I'm being asked the
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:37
			question by the son or daughter,
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			I'm not speaking to the parents.
So I can't say your parents are
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			bad. And they must do this,
because they're not going to do
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:48
			that. They're not even listening
to me, I'm speaking to the child.
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:52
			So my advice to anybody who's in
that situation is
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:56
			the same advice that the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam has given for
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:02
			the end of times. Right? And what
is that the time will come when
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			there's going to be a thaw,
there's going to be preferences
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:14
			given to unsuitable people, over
the suitable people. We already
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:17
			see parts of that happening in
different intensities around the
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:22
			world. All right, but it's just
gonna get worse apparently. So if
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			that's the case, in your family,
as well.
		
00:21:26 --> 00:21:28
			Sometimes there's a favorite in
the family.
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:34
			And that favorite then abuses
their position, I can throw in
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:38
			terms of demanding inheritance or
other favoritism or whatever the
		
00:21:38 --> 00:21:42
			case is. said look, your
responsibility is that you fulfill
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			your rights towards your family,
to your towards your parents,
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:49
			which means you are there when
they need you. You call them up
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:53
			once in a while you may visit them
or whatever the case is, don't
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			expect anything in return.
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:01
			Just don't expect anything in
return. In fact, expect that
		
00:22:01 --> 00:22:05
			there's going to be a problem. And
then you'll be fine. Because when
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:09
			you know and expect that there
could be some potential
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:12
			aggravation or harm coming from a
place you're prepared for it, you
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:15
			don't like it, obviously, it's not
nice to have that. But rather than
		
00:22:15 --> 00:22:19
			be sudden, or rather than, you
know, when you know it's going to
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:22
			come, then you can just deal with
it. Now, obviously, with anybody
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			else, you can ignore them. But
your parents you cannot ignore,
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:30
			you have a responsibility. So you
fulfill your responsibility. And
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			if they don't give you anything,
nope, or if they give you thank
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:35
			Allah don't even think anybody
just think Allah.
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			I know it's not ideal. But there's
no magic to change it in any other
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:44
			way. This is the reality, and this
is the best way to deal with it.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:48
			If I was speaking to your parents,
I tell them something else. But
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:52
			I'm not speaking to your parents,
I'm speaking to you. And then you
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:55
			will tell me that no, my parents
won't listen to anybody this how
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:58
			they've been for the last 50 years
or 60 years. So would you expect
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:02
			to change, if maybe a miracle, you
can only ask Allah, that don't
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:03
			expect anything.
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:07
			That makes it easy when you don't
expect anything but from Allah
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:11
			subhanaw taala. But you are
fulfilling your responsibility to
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			everybody else, that you will be
rewarded by Allah for fulfilling
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:21
			our responsibilities to others,
and will be rewarded. And Allah
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:23
			will provide us a replacement for
what we're not getting from our
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:27
			loved ones that we should have
received in an ideal situation.
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:33
			And the third thing is don't
perpetrate the same thing when
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:34
			you're in that position.
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			What's happening in a lot of these
cases, is that things have been
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:42
			happening for generations, between
mother in law's and daughter in
		
00:23:42 --> 00:23:43
			law, for example.
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:48
			And literally you you will hear
that the mother in law has now
		
00:23:48 --> 00:23:51
			given him a saying, This is how we
were treated by our mother in law,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			so you must do the same thing.
		
00:23:55 --> 00:23:56
			It has to stop somewhere.
		
00:23:57 --> 00:24:01
			It has to stop somewhere you do
something different and start a
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:08
			new trend and better trend. So
that's where it is just don't ask
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11
			for anything from somebody else.
And if they do give it to you if
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			you do get it hamdulillah
hamdulillah but otherwise, don't
		
00:24:15 --> 00:24:18
			expect it and you will be much
better off when you do it for
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:21
			yourself. So well as the unblock
minute Taqwa there is no provision
		
00:24:22 --> 00:24:27
			that is more effective in allowing
you to reach your destination than
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:28
			Taqwa.
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:34
			And maybe that is the reason why
the Sunnah hotbar, recited before
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:39
			Nica before two couples come
together. Right is the three
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43
			verses include this includes the
three verses of Taqwa from the
		
00:24:43 --> 00:24:48
			Quran, because if each of the
spouses is trying to uphold God
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:52
			fearing nurses trying to uphold
the laws of Allah what they want,
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:58
			it just makes it easy because it
provides invoking a an authority
		
00:24:58 --> 00:25:00
			above ourselves says
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			is not me, it's not you. It's
Allah that I'm doing something
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:08
			for. May Allah make that useful.
And then one hour a day to earn a
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:13
			little worse worse see him in
Turkey for Dooley. I've not seen
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:16
			anything that is more removing
		
00:25:17 --> 00:25:21
			and a greater defense from
whisperings
		
00:25:22 --> 00:25:24
			OCD, I guess,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:32
			whisperings, uncertainties and
doubts, than just abandoning
		
00:25:32 --> 00:25:37
			what's unnecessary, abandoning
anything in excess, abandoning
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:39
			anything, which is not needed.
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:44
			That's what he's saying. So he's
from the way he's saying it, he's
		
00:25:44 --> 00:25:49
			saying that look, people can be
can fall prey to what's worse,
		
00:25:49 --> 00:25:49
			right.
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:56
			But if you want to avoid it, I've
not seen anything better in
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:57
			defense and to negate it,
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:01
			than just to abandon anything in
excess.
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:04
			Because there's less things to
bother about, you've just got a
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:09
			few things to bother about. So
that should be beneficial. Well,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:14
			because while Anwar al Calbee,
means Salah mat is suddenly
		
00:26:17 --> 00:26:20
			not seeing anything more
illuminating of the heart, than a
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:22
			sound, chest.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:29
			Meaning don't fill the chest area,
internally, with different
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:33
			thoughts, keep it safe sound,
don't have negative thoughts, try
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:34
			to be positive all the time.
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:40
			Try not to be negative, try not to
think bad of people. Try not to
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:46
			interpret situations that you see
in the most negative way possible.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:50
			There's always various ways of
interpreting something, and you
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:53
			will see different people, many
people are moderate in the way
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:55
			they, you know, they quite
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			adept understanding when genuinely
there is something negative and
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:04
			positive. But they generally keep
it positive. There's others who
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:08
			are overly positive, right,
there's nothing ever negative,
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:12
			then they get caught up sometimes,
right? But their positivity just
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:14
			goes through the roof. Sometimes
it's a bit over the top, but I
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:17
			don't know Hamdulillah, then
there's others who are just mostly
		
00:27:17 --> 00:27:20
			negative, they just look at
everything to critically.
		
00:27:22 --> 00:27:27
			You have to be aware, can't be
silly and naive. But you have to
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:31
			give the best interpretation
that's possible. And in many
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:34
			affairs of the world is various
different narratives that you can
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:35
			follow.
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:41
			Islam, Muslims have split because
of negative narrative narratives
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:45
			are one of our biggest splits
between the sheer you know the
		
00:27:45 --> 00:27:49
			sheer who split is because of
negative narratives towards
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:53
			probably the more than half
majority of the sahaba.
		
00:27:54 --> 00:27:57
			So some of the closest to the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:27:57 --> 00:27:57
			sallam,
		
00:27:58 --> 00:28:01
			a worker or Omar Earthman or the
Allahu Anhu.
		
00:28:03 --> 00:28:06
			He shouted the Allahu Anhu have
started the Allah Juana. The most,
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			some of in fact, the most closest
to the prophets, Allah lowson.
		
00:28:10 --> 00:28:13
			They've got a negative narrative
about it.
		
00:28:14 --> 00:28:17
			It's caused the high cause the
Muslim ummah to split.
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:22
			And a number of other things
happens on a normal basis, the way
		
00:28:22 --> 00:28:23
			we interpret events.
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:30
			Somebody didn't call you for, for
two weeks, generally speak to you,
		
00:28:30 --> 00:28:33
			you know, they see you once in a
while they speak to you once every
		
00:28:33 --> 00:28:36
			now and two weeks. But rather than
think, though, they may have just
		
00:28:36 --> 00:28:41
			become occupied with some kind of
really engaging issue. Right, they
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:44
			may have been going through some
trouble or whatever you something,
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:46
			you know, they don't like me
anymore, it's because of this or
		
00:28:46 --> 00:28:50
			it's because of that. It's just
some simple examples for that. So
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:55
			try not to do that. So these were
just three advices. I think that's
		
00:28:55 --> 00:28:57
			enough for that's enough for us to
		
00:28:59 --> 00:29:02
			make good with insha Allah if
Allah can help us with that. So
		
00:29:02 --> 00:29:06
			the three things you mentioned are
the four things or other is that
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:11
			there is no path that is going to
be more effective in getting you
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:13
			closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala
closer to being human being in
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			this in many ways, and
truthfulness, and there is no
		
00:29:17 --> 00:29:22
			sign. There is no path Blaser
there is nothing to illuminate the
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:24
			path for you that is more
successful in doing so the
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:28
			knowledge and there is no
provision that is more effective
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:32
			in getting you to this destination
than Taqwa. And I've seen the most
		
00:29:32 --> 00:29:36
			effective removal of doubts from
people's hearts is when they is to
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:42
			for them to abandon excessive
things or superfluous things or
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:45
			things that are beyond their need.
And I've not seen anything more
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:48
			illuminating of the heart than
just having
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:54
			a safe sound and a good thinking
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:59
			heart essentially, to the best of
their ability. You
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:06
			Allah subhanaw taala give us the
feet and enablement to become good
		
00:30:06 --> 00:30:10
			human beings and to benefit
ourselves and then benefit others
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:12

salaam anonymous on Belinda Hill.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:05
			In Ireland golf metaphor to mean,
the point of a lecture is to
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:09
			encourage people to act to get
further an inspiration and
		
00:35:09 --> 00:35:13
			encouragement, persuasion. The
next step is to actually start
		
00:35:13 --> 00:35:18
			learning seriously, to read books
to take on a subject of Islam and
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:21
			to understand all the subjects of
Islam at least at the basic level,
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:25
			so that we can become more aware
of what our deen wants from us.
		
00:35:25 --> 00:35:29
			And that's why we started Rayyan
courses so that you can actually
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:34
			take organize lectures on demand
whenever you have free time,
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:38
			especially for example, the
Islamic essentials course that we
		
00:35:38 --> 00:35:41
			have on there, the Islamic
essentials certificate which you
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:45
			take 20 Short modules and at the
end of that inshallah you will
		
00:35:45 --> 00:35:51
			have gotten the basics of most of
the most important topics in Islam
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:53
			and you'll feel a lot more
confident. You don't have to leave
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:56
			lectures behind you can continue
to live, you know, to listen to
		
00:35:56 --> 00:35:59
			lectures, but you need to have
this more sustained study as well.
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:02

rahmatullah wa barakato.
