Describe the hellfire. He said it is much more intense if the earth they have knowledge and understanding. So when you reflect over a few words of the Quran, it makes any the heat that you experience in this life. Whether it is outdoors or indoors a little bit easier. Ask Allah azza wa jal to save us from the hellfire. My Brothers and Sisters in Islam.

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

Tonight's lecture is about 10 ways in how one can avoid sins and be patient when avoiding sins and keeping away from them altogether. And these 10 ways are 10 ways that admin pay him Rahim Allah mentioned in his book for equaliser attain what Bible say that they have no clue Abraham Allah was a phenomenal scholar.

00:00:53--> 00:01:01

And he wrote an extremely incredible beneficial book he titled political his urethane, why dellosa the Taino Bible side

00:01:03--> 00:01:06

which means the two paths of migration

00:01:08--> 00:01:39

and the two gates of happiness. What he meant by the title is that each and every single believer is supposed to undergo two migrations in his life. One migration to Allah assertion, how do you migrate to Allah? By embracing the Oneness of Allah assertion, loving Allah has version fearing Allah subhanho wa Taala being certain of Allah subhanho wa Taala and so on. This is how you migrate to Allah azza wa jal, the being his commands. And so

00:01:40--> 00:01:54

and the other path of migration is to migrate to also Allah Hassan Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and we migrate to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam by embracing his sunnah and following his path and his sunnah in all aspects of life.

00:01:56--> 00:02:04

Allah and Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam mentioned this Furman Kennedy Jr to who in Allah He also the for his you know, to who in Allahu Allah Sunni.

00:02:05--> 00:02:53

And then he titled The book, whatever aside the 10, the two gates of happiness, meaning this book is going to speak about matters that if you were to do and implement in your life, it will bring you happiness in this life and in the next life. So that's the title of the book. And he collected in this book, many things, particularly focusing on Al Eman and the actions of the heart. So he would speak about the different levels of Eman, you know that the highest level of Eman is akin to have absolute certain belief in Allah subhanho wa taala. And the second level underneath that is a sovereign to be patient. Right? And there are lots of levels for an amen. There's a sugar, a robot.

00:02:54--> 00:03:06

There's an inner Bad dog cooler, Russia, and health and so on. This is what he focused on in the book. So we're opening up in sha Allah Allah tonight to the chapter of patience

00:03:07--> 00:03:12

and patience. My Brothers and Sisters in Islam must be exercised in three matters.

00:03:13--> 00:03:54

You must be patient when it comes to the worship of Allah azza wa jal, Allah azza wa jal, he says for Abood, who was probably a bad at, worship Him and be patient upon his worship. Every Salat requires patience. Every walk requires patience. Anytime you obey, Allah has commanded requires patience, wearing a hijab, in summer, and in winter, whatever time it is, requires patience. Every worship you do requires patience, waking up for solid confession every single day, no break. No Sunday off no nothing making wudu praying that requires patience. So that's the first type in which patients is supposed to be exercised.

00:03:55--> 00:04:42

The second type of patience it is supposed to be exercised when avoiding sins, avoiding sins, you need to be patient. When a person avoids a sin, he earns a reward because he exercised patience, there is a desire, there is a temptation that is dragging the person to commit a sin and you're restraining you're holding yourself back, you're fighting your knifes you're fighting the evil, temptations and whispers off the shelf on that requires patience. That is patience. And the third type of patience or the type third type of matter and where patience is supposed to be exercised is upon the calamities and tribulations of life. There is not a single one of us here except that he is

00:04:42--> 00:04:59

going through calamities. You've been through him already. You're probably going through one now or you'll go through some other calamities later on in your health in your world. loss of life, loss of health, loss of family, whatever it is, and you need to exercise pay

00:05:00--> 00:05:49

Since during these moments, whoever exercise patience in these three matters. He has mastered patience. He has mastered patience, and he earns huge reward on the Day of Judgment. In fact, even our best love the Allahu Anhu said Eman is two things. This is according to Ibn Abu Musab the Allahu Anhu. He explained when he explained the deen altogether, he said Eman is two things. Half of Eman is patience. And the other half is Ashoka. Gratitude. Let's say you will find yourself every single day in every moment of the day in the night. Either you're engaging in suburbia, or either you are engaging in an act of sugar, one of the two are sober, to keep away from the prohibitions. And when

00:05:49--> 00:06:35

you do the commandments of Allah, you pray you fast and you do what Allah wants you to do. This is gratitude. This is gratitude. And the believer is like this. He does what Allah commands and he keeps away from Allah what Allah forbid, keeping away from what Allah forbid, requires Sobor doing what Allah commanded, is sugar. And the only way explain what we explained and put that all together, you understand what a man is. So we're going to talk about 10 ways to remain patient and restrain yourself from sins. Allah, my brothers and sisters in Islam, this is a huge and a great topic. For anyone who is concerned about his relationship with Allah azza wa jal, the one who is not

00:06:35--> 00:06:57

concerned about his relationship with Allah. This word makes sense to him. But the one who is concerned about the standing before Allah, how is he going to meet Allah? How is he going to stand before Allah, the One who's concerned and worried, this is going to be indeed a great and a huge topic of importance for him.

00:06:58--> 00:07:14

I want to begin by saying that Allah Allah or hammer home Allah has mentioned that keeping away from the prohibitions, avoiding sins and avoiding Haram is much better than engaging in voluntary acts.

00:07:16--> 00:07:19

Doing the obligations, that's much better.

00:07:20--> 00:07:26

But avoiding a sin is much better than a voluntary might pray.

00:07:27--> 00:07:34

It's much better than a voluntary fasting of Monday and Thursday. It is much better than a voluntary Hush.

00:07:36--> 00:07:38

And this is the opinion of I shall obey Allah who

00:07:39--> 00:07:47

hasn't been Ali, you know, the Allahu Anhu of Omar, Abdullah Aziz about Russia, and so many other roadmap and why is this the case?

00:07:49--> 00:07:54

Because keeping away from prohibitions is an obligation in his regime.

00:07:56--> 00:08:05

When the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam said he then he took Comanche in fish, Telugu, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, If I forbid you of something, then keep away from him.

00:08:06--> 00:08:13

Then he boo comes from the jump side, meaning you on one side and the sin on another side, keep away from

00:08:14--> 00:08:41

Allah subhanho wa taala. He said, Well, I will for him, I will have a minha open, law, social, he said do not approach in moralities and sins, whatever is apparent of them and whatever is hidden, meaning the apparent sins keep away from it. Like lying, that's on the tongue. It's apparent stealing Zina ribber keep away and also keep away from the internal sins.

00:08:42--> 00:09:22

Like hypocrisy, envy, jealousy, the sins of the heart. You got to keep away from all of these matters. And you know what the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, he said, It took him a good Abba, the nurse. He said, avoid the sins and you will be the most pious of people. You see, avoiding sins is much better than engaging in voluntary acts. Because doing voluntary acts is most it's recommended. But avoiding sins is worshipped and the worship overrides and is prioritized over voluntary acts.

00:09:24--> 00:09:35

The voluntary acts, feeding the poor, helping the orphan and all of these matters everyone does this. Everyone does voluntary acts. Right the righteous the rebellious everyone's there.

00:09:37--> 00:09:59

But only the true believer avoid sins. Only the true believer can avoid it. But hustle and bustle Abraham Allah has a beautiful with what he says man other than if you don't ever shake him off border with Turkey him man Allahu Anhu he said the best thing a worshipper can do concerning his servitude to Allah is avoid what Allah pray

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

With a toil as the best thing you can do as a slave of Allah azza wa jal to avoid the Haram and to avoid the sins and listen to what Obama Robbie Allah one who says he says or do their neck

00:10:14--> 00:10:19

mean may occur Hola Hola. Hola Hola. He mean hum see me at the hashtag.

00:10:20--> 00:10:37

He said to return a Danny Adamic is six have a Durham meaning point six five grams of gold a little bit ago less than a gram to return less than a gram

00:10:39--> 00:10:41

of gold of haram wealth

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

is better than doing 500 voluntary hash.

00:10:46--> 00:10:56

Then the 500 voluntary hash is recommended. But this is how it is obligatory to get rid of the haram. For this is better than this.

00:10:58--> 00:11:06

Were from those who are under the sheath of Allah azza wa jal on the Day of Judgment. In the vessel Allah Allah un Salam says one of the categories

00:11:07--> 00:11:08

is a man

00:11:10--> 00:11:27

who was approached by a woman that was sleeping was Chanel, not any kind of woman, a woman who has status. She has a reputation, she is known in the community. And on top of this, he's pretty, a beautiful looking go.

00:11:28--> 00:11:34

So this man was approached by such a woman. And he said to her, indeed a half Allah,

00:11:36--> 00:11:38

Allah azza wa jal puts him under his shade.

00:11:40--> 00:11:57

And this is also true for a woman, if she was was approached by a man. And he asked her for Zina. And she said to him, I fear Allah. She's included in the Hadith, but the Hadith was worded with a man because it more most likely most likely happens with men.

00:11:58--> 00:12:07

That woman Spinoza man, right, like Yusuf alayhi salam, he was approached by a woman of great caliber and status. And she was good looking as well.

00:12:09--> 00:12:23

Because that's much more difficult to reject. Because when she's of great status, and you don't do what she says, she might blackmail you, so you might fall into the sin and say, You know what, I just got to keep her shut. So I need to do what I need to do.

00:12:24--> 00:12:28

That type of woman to see in their half Allah and go away,

00:12:29--> 00:12:38

has incredible reward under the shade of Allah azza wa jal. The idea is can you see and understand now? How important it is for a believer to avoid sins.

00:12:40--> 00:13:00

The one who keeps away from major sins and finds himself against it is better than the one who engages in norfund Omar Abdullah Aziza lobby Allahu anhu, he said, Lisa, taqwa so Yamuna hurry wala clear Milady in nama taco Del Toro, Bala Huatulco, Mahalo, Mullah Omar Ibn Abdul Aziz clima, Hola, all the Allahu Anhu

00:13:02--> 00:13:18

he defined what piety is. He said piety is not to pray the overnights and fast the days. Anyone can do this. He said, True piety. You know that's a part of piety. True piety is to do what Allah commands and to keep away from all Allah azza wa jal.

00:13:20--> 00:13:21

That's the true piety

00:13:23--> 00:13:29

rule, and also a lot of fake when they discussed the word haram

00:13:30--> 00:13:36

and they defined it in terms of its consequence. They said, may you febrile Telugu while you're out of

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

the sea

00:13:39--> 00:13:44

and Haram is if you avoided your own reward.

00:13:46--> 00:13:57

And if you committed your own sips see that just by avoiding the Haram you are being rewarded. Why? Because we said You need patience to avoid the Haram and that patients you're getting rewarded for it.

00:13:59--> 00:13:59

By

00:14:01--> 00:14:16

Let's speak about these 10 reasons now that we have understood the seriousness of this topic. My Brothers and Sisters in Islam, you focus and you pay attention. My job is to explain it as easy as I can. And as simple as I can.

00:14:17--> 00:14:23

You're going to count in sha Allah, the more you have of these ways, the better for you and the more protection

00:14:24--> 00:14:30

if you have one of these 10 Alhamdulillah start working on attaining the others.

00:14:31--> 00:14:37

The less you have, the less protection you have from skills the more you have the more protection let's start Bismillahi Tyla

00:14:38--> 00:14:39

number one

00:14:40--> 00:14:44

no am Rahima hola he said Elmo appdb coupe.

00:14:46--> 00:14:50

What are their let the HA what an error. Number one

00:14:52--> 00:14:59

is for the servant to know and acknowledge and realize that sins are repulsive upon this

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

speakable, disgusting and they are filthy in nature. That's the first thing. You should realize that sins are disgusting.

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

Allah azza wa jal, he only forbid sins because they are disgusting and filthy and nasty.

00:15:18--> 00:15:27

And when you are aware of this fact, this becomes a reason for why a person remains patient in avoiding sins altogether. I tell you something,

00:15:28--> 00:15:37

the normal human being whose filter is still intact, his natural disposition hasn't been deviated and it hasn't changed. A normal human being

00:15:38--> 00:15:48

runs away from anything that is disgusting. You know that. If you smell something disgusting, what happens? We can see the reaction on your face and you run away.

00:15:50--> 00:15:56

If you taste something disgusting and bad, you spit it out, You vomited, and you never touch it ever again.

00:15:58--> 00:16:04

If you see something disgusting, once you walk into a public toilet, and you saw urine all over the toilet,

00:16:05--> 00:16:17

the smell the look, you look, you'll run out, you'll hold it and you'll run out of there and you won't even go in. That's the natural human being he's disgusted. And he runs away from filth and dirt.

00:16:19--> 00:16:50

This is the normal human being. The normal human being loves what's good, it comes to that which is good to that which is pleasant, then he keeps away from that which is filthy. This is why when Allah azza wa jal referred to sins in the Quran, look at the kind of words used and mooncup detested, condemned matters of them. of them is a cynic comes from Allah then up which is the tale of an animal. Imagine being served the tail of an animal would you eat it? That's what it's called. That's what a seam is.

00:16:52--> 00:17:05

I'll have a look at the word on how they how it comes out. There's there's like, heaviness to it. How bad it means disgusting, filthy, evil matters and flesh. Look at the word

00:17:06--> 00:17:17

men in Forsch horrible evil immoralities vulgarities shamelessness, Al Mughal and so on. These are the words used for sins.

00:17:19--> 00:18:02

And there is a very important principle to understand here. And that is that Allah azza wa jal never forbids anything upon us, except that it is harmful, damaging and destructive to us, to our bodies and to our souls. If someone asks, Why is this haram? Why is this a sin? Automatically? The answer is because it's harmful. It's harmful to the heart, to the body. It's harmful to society. It's harmful to your Eman. It's harmful to your grave when you enter in the grave. It's harmful for your hereafter it's harmful for your relationship with Allah. In every aspect, you look at a sin it's harmful in every direction, there is zero goodness in

00:18:03--> 00:18:06

taking some examples, we look at alcohol.

00:18:07--> 00:18:12

How many times does the news from time to time there's a new research that says

00:18:14--> 00:18:27

point three Mills 2300 300 mils of alcohol is good for human health. Only two years later, a recent study has found that zero alcohol is good for your health.

00:18:28--> 00:18:44

Then the next day, actually, one couple weeks is good. Then again, now not all of it is good health because these people don't have wine. So they are confused between it's good, it's not good and now will remain like this until the world ends.

00:18:45--> 00:18:46

The believer knows

00:18:48--> 00:19:11

of the harmful nature of alcohol, its destruction to the soul to the mind to society and all of this and of course it's all because of its filth and its disgust and its harms to a person and everything that is related to this person. You look at drugs, same thing. What goodness is there in drugs, name one goodness, there's nothing. It is all bad.

00:19:12--> 00:19:26

Addiction. Suffering. Murderers, stand overs. Call it what you want. A person loses his mind. He doesn't pray. He leaves in Islam, Al Eman

00:19:28--> 00:19:31

and the lot. Poke and how disgusting.

00:19:32--> 00:19:59

And how harmful is it to a person? A river? A river is harmful. Look at the oppression it's done. They speak about this is the recent nine interest rise. how damaging What has it done to people's mental health? What has it done to people financially? Whether it's harmful to society to its people, people commit suicide because of their financial situation.

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

As a result of a liver,

00:20:02--> 00:20:15

everything Allah azza wa jal made Haram is harmful to the human smoking. vaping. shisha the time you kill the time you spent harmful, Xena

00:20:16--> 00:20:45

aids, HIV, genital warts. It's harmful to society, Zina. Kids are abandoned. They're murdered. Here in Australia, abortion is illegal until about six months to six months and it is a boy. This is this actual actual child. He's surgically cut up and removed one piece after the other. What are however Lakota 11. Abortion leads to the sin of murder.

00:20:47--> 00:20:53

And if it's after six months, you need the approval of two doctors and now removing that as a result of Zina.

00:20:55--> 00:20:56

Homelessness, homosexuality.

00:20:58--> 00:21:19

A new cancer that's harmful. A new cancer, genital warts, HIV, AIDS, HPV, Human Papilloma Virus, hepatitis, ABC, there is no cure for these matters at all, you'll be on treatment for the rest of your life. Hmm.

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

And, you know, just like on the smoking packet, they have up the top, you know, when you're buying, we don't buy it, we don't buy it. But when you see someone buying it or you see it in the store, there's a warning up the top.

00:21:33--> 00:21:42

Bad for your organs, lung damage, lung cancer, kidney cancer, and they've got these filthy disgusting images.

00:21:43--> 00:22:14

And I believe that this is the same thing that should be done with every rainbow flag. They should be at the top a human with anal cancer. So that at least people are aware of the harms and the damage that it does to human health. Very simple. So everything Allah azza wa jal made Haram is harmful. It's disgusting, it's filthy, it's terrible. And I said to you, a human being that is seen and that is normal. He'll see the disgust in these things and he runs away from it.

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

And that's why Allah azza wa jal declared them haram because they are harmful. So the intelligent person keeps away from harmful matter, even if he wasn't a believer. and I were just speaking about someone with a mind,

00:22:28--> 00:23:04

an intellectual mind, he's still seen, even if he was not a believer, a normal human being runs away from that which is filthy. And it was mentioned that some of the Arabs would never drink alcohol. And when they are asked, they would answer saying, How can a sane, sound minded person intoxicate himself and act like an idiot? In the street, and like an idiot, in his home in front of his family? These are kafele Arabs that had enough self respect to keep away from that which would make them look like idiots.

00:23:06--> 00:23:11

But sometimes, some matters may be confusing. You might see them as good.

00:23:13--> 00:23:20

There's a sin, but you might not know how's this is it? I can't see it as being a sin actually looks good.

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

But the reality it is a sin and it's bad and it's harmful. But what has happened is that the CHE bombs main role on Earth is to decorate the sin. Didn't Allah azza wa jal say was the yen and who was che upon

00:23:36--> 00:24:10

that the CHE upon decorates the sin? He makes it look good, but in reality, it is bad. What do you do in those cases? When you're confused? And you don't know? If it's disgusting, and it's harmful and it's a sin, you think it's good? That's why you need knowledge. How are you going to avoid something when you don't know what to avoid? So you will need knowledge we shall upon has been doing this trick and this game from day one. Like what he did with Adam Alayhis Salam in the Paradise, Allah azza wa jal a bit upon Adam a tree. He said do not come next to this tree.

00:24:11--> 00:24:22

A che upon would whisper to Adam and say to him, Honey, do Luca, Allah chahatein Hold, Shall I direct you to shatter rotten hood, the beautiful name he gave it?

00:24:23--> 00:24:32

He decorated the sin He said, This is a tree of eternity. Meaning come eat from the tree and you will remain in this paradise forever.

00:24:33--> 00:24:59

The corner mela cania otaku laminal Halloween, if you eat from it one of two good things could happen. You and your wife will either been angels in the Paradise if you're angels you'll never leave. Oh, Holly Dean. You'll be there forever. Hollis. You'll never come out. This is a filthy tree. And he's calling it the eternal tree. The tree that will give you life forever in the Paradise. That's what the shape one does. He decorates the CIP and

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

on his trip continues until this very day.

00:25:04--> 00:25:06

Homosexuality is a rainbow

00:25:07--> 00:25:10

beautiful colors, deceptive colors, but

00:25:11--> 00:25:13

that's how it's decorated.

00:25:14--> 00:25:15

And love is love.

00:25:17--> 00:25:39

Drugs, they have all these different names to them. Speed. Ice sounds nice and refreshing. Cheban has done this ecstasy. Ecstasy means what? It means happiness. That's what ecstasy means. Alcohol is called spirits. Spirits. Yeah. And as though if you're down, drink it and your spirit will rise has the disease each name

00:25:43--> 00:25:44

suicide,

00:25:45--> 00:25:48

assisted suicide. Now it is.

00:25:49--> 00:26:01

Now, I said, suicide. Assisted Suicide is available. If you don't want to live. You can go sign a few papers and you die. But assisted suicide but they've given it a new name, once again called

00:26:03--> 00:26:16

voluntary euthanasia. You know what euthanasia means? Who's come across this word. It's a word that originated in the early 17th century from the Greek word you Thanos.

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

You means well. Thanos means death. Euthanasia means a good death.

00:26:26--> 00:27:07

And they call it mercy killing as well. Shuford, the Shepherd has done, he's taken the name and decorated it and presented it to the people looks nice. So if the believer doesn't have knowledge, he'll be confused about what the ceiling is, and what is hollow. As a result, seeking knowledge becomes very important. So that's the first matter to know that sins are filthy in nature. And the normal human being automatically keeps away from that which is filthy, number one, understood jagged. Number two, in order to avoid sins, one must have higher and min Allah shyness of Allah subhanho wa taala.

00:27:09--> 00:27:34

If no am Rahim Allah Allah says, When the servant knows that Allah is looking at him, watching over him, and he sees him and he he's him, he becomes to shine in front of Allah azza wa jal to commit a sin. He becomes to shine. You know, shyness in Arabic is what what's the word and higher and higher comes from the word hate.

00:27:35--> 00:27:45

How he means alive. The one who has shyness in his heart, his heart is alive. The one who is not shining, his heart is dead.

00:27:47--> 00:27:57

Having shyness of Allah will most definitely allow you to control yourself when it comes to a sin. I tell you something my brothers and sisters in Islam today,

00:27:58--> 00:28:06

no one will dare to commit a sin in front of his father, or his mother, or his husband or his wife.

00:28:08--> 00:28:09

Or even in front of a young child.

00:28:10--> 00:28:12

Why? Because he shines.

00:28:14--> 00:28:33

Because he knows he's doing something dirty and filthy. And I don't want people to see me in this state. But Subhanallah where people are going to judge you on the Day of Judgment. Why will you shy of them? And not Chai of Allah subhanahu wa taala when he is your lord and you will stand in front of him answering for what you did.

00:28:34--> 00:28:50

When the sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he defined the same, he said what Carrie? Paula Ali he nurse. That's how some if you're if you're confused about what a sin is, it's the things that you dislike people seeing you do. That's a sin.

00:28:51--> 00:29:02

Subhanallah today, if someone is in a room alone, and he is the squeaking of a door, he's immediate to drop the Haram and fix himself up.

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

And then when he realizes it was the wind that played with the door,

00:29:07--> 00:29:08

he's relieved.

00:29:09--> 00:29:13

Not Allah. It wasn't my child or my wife or

00:29:16--> 00:29:44

how can this be the state of a believer? The question is, wasn't Allah seeing you all this time? See, I give you a solution. My Brothers and Sisters in Islam. Whenever you're approached to commit a sin, there is most definitely and always and you'll agree with me, a noise in your head that is telling you Allah is watching. Most definitely. If you don't have that, then you're not a believer. Every believer believes that Allah sees him. No one is in denial of this fact.

00:29:45--> 00:29:59

And this type of feeling and noise that's in your mind and body and soul at the time when approaching a sin. And the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam refers to it in the Hadith as wherever Allah he will be could mean it is the Warner

00:30:00--> 00:30:10

of Allah that exists in the heart of every believer. That's Allah's warning in your heart. That's how unreasonable Allahu alayhi wa sallam describe that feeling.

00:30:11--> 00:30:55

I tell you something, when you approached to commit a sin, what do you need to do? Do not silence and suppress this noise and feeling. rather take advantage of it and bring it aloud to your body and onto your tongue. Take advantage. When you approach a scene, say Allah watches over me. Say it aloud. Don't barrier sit around right then and there. That's it doesn't cost anything. Just say Allah can see me. Allah said in the Quran, Allah Subhana Allah, Allah Allah. Doesn't he know and isn't he aware that Allah azza wa jal can see? At that moment answer Allah. So yes, I know that you can see me. Allah azza wa jal, he says you're stuffing them in a Nancy what is the phone? I mean,

00:30:55--> 00:31:15

Allah, they hide away from Allah and they do they hide away from people, and they do not hide away from Allah wa Who am I home? And he is with them. He can see them and fully aware of what they do. So turn to yourself and say Allah, Allah, you know that you can see me and I'm aware of the fact that you can see me say it loud.

00:31:17--> 00:31:52

Yusuf alayhi salam, when the woman approached him and said, Hey, she locked the door, she shut them, she sealed them tightly. And she said to him, I'm prepared for you. Hey, Turlock Allahu Akbar. Imagine that. What's more than this as a fitna? A beautiful looking pretty woman that is young, and she's the wife of the king of Egypt. So this is a lady of status, you have to listen to her, otherwise she'll get you in serious trouble. We also found a Salem, a young, beautiful man that was given the beauty of all of creation,

00:31:53--> 00:31:54

half of creation.

00:31:56--> 00:32:06

At that moment, he said man of Allah, He screamed the word Allah. At that moment when you approach the sin, see the word Allah.

00:32:07--> 00:32:15

My love Allah, meaning I seek refuge in Allah. I seek Allah's protection from this evil that is in front of me right now.

00:32:17--> 00:32:25

Aren't you shy of Allah assertion? I'm to show you that you will disobey Allah azza wa jal with a blessing that he has given you.

00:32:26--> 00:32:34

When you seen with your eyes, the eyes was a blessing. It deserved gratitude, not in gratitude and disobey Allah with it.

00:32:35--> 00:32:43

When you sit with your hands, these were a blessing. You are supposed to make sugar and say Alhamdulillah instead you use them for a sin

00:32:47--> 00:33:41

and the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam says well as Kuru mas Malay Sheikh. Nothing out with the name of Allah. What does that mean? means at the moment when you are most tempted, and you continue to say my Hola, Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam says the name of Allah outweighs everything. Meaning if your desire is on one side of the scale, and Allah has mentioned is on the other side of the scale, what happens to desire, it goes away. It cannot wait with the name of Allah. So very soon, you will find that your heart overcomes the desire and overcomes the sin, because it's impossible. If you see Allah, my Allah, with a firm heart with honesty and certainty and sincerity.

00:33:42--> 00:33:55

The thing that you're comparing it with and you're fighting, using it to fight is the desire the sin, that will go, it will evaporate, all of a sudden you'll find yourself Hamdulillah I overcame the sin.

00:33:58--> 00:34:06

After that happens, and you find that Allah is like an ice that has dropped

00:34:08--> 00:34:14

on fire and the fire of the sin and the lust begins to extinguish and turn off.

00:34:15--> 00:34:19

Straight away, get up and move from that place. Get up

00:34:21--> 00:34:59

because this is where the shape on came to you and He will come again. When the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam once when he was with the Companions, they slept at night, and they did not wake up until the sun had risen, meaning what they missed Salette efficient. Now Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the Companions missed Salah and Fisher. The narration is also Han Bihari. When in the the sallallahu alayhi wa sallam got up and they wanted to pray Salat and Fisher. He said to the Companions move from here because this is a place of sorbet comfy here off law. This is a place in which heedlessness got the better of us is at

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

place that we seen them. So let's move from here and he moved them and then he prayed somewhere else. Even though, if you miss the prayer, you're supposed to pray it as soon as you remember it.

00:35:13--> 00:35:19

It's urgent, but moving away is more urgent, so that you don't get tempted to do the same again.

00:35:20--> 00:35:38

And even if you looked at the story of use of alayhis salam to continue it. Right. He did say man of Allah, I seek Allah's protection. But then you know what he did, he didn't just stand there looking at it. Allah said was stuck on bed. They rushed to the door, he said, matter the money ran to the door.

00:35:39--> 00:35:43

As soon as he got to the door, you know what happened? What happened?

00:35:44--> 00:35:55

What elfia Say either Helen and her husband was at the door, he opened the door, you know what that means? Finally, relief came. policy is not just that temptation of the sinners, God or there's someone said,

00:35:57--> 00:36:04

how much? How much time between the desire that temptation and relief. It's the matter of getting up and moving. That's it.

00:36:05--> 00:36:06

It's gone.

00:36:07--> 00:36:09

Call a friend, go somewhere.

00:36:10--> 00:36:51

And you respect your weakness, respect to a weakness, the human being is weak, he can fall into the sin once again. You know, when a person comes out from surgery, where do they take him? His bed rolls into the ICU yet the intensive care unit when you're in the intensive care unit, why is it called intensive care because there are nurses 24/7 around you, they don't leave you. So they're around thereafter looking what you need, monitoring the machines until you get better. And that's your state when you come out of a possible sin that you're almost committed. Respect your weakness. You're like that person in the ICU. You need people around you need the nurse you need the righteous

00:36:51--> 00:36:59

people around you. You need an environment of goodness you cannot just think Allah Allah come back then most definitely show up on will come on again.

00:37:03--> 00:37:03

Now

00:37:04--> 00:37:16

and I give you some good news. When you walk away from the site of singing, you're almost seemed but you walked away. Do you think you walk away empty handed? Hola, hola.

00:37:17--> 00:37:47

Hola. Number one, your walk away, having fulfilled an obligation and that is to keep away from a sin. And that we said is better than many voluntary deeds. You walk away with refreshed and renewed. Amen. Right your images increased. That is how a person can increase in refreshes. Amen. You walked away with genuine fear of Allah, that you've got someone really you genuinely fear Allah azza wa jal hamdulillah thank Allah for the neuroma that he's given you.

00:37:48--> 00:38:06

And you walk away with a kid with a complete good deed. In the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said man Hammarby has to be sejati Phantom, Yamuna, Cotabato, Hassan and Camila ever desired to commit a sin and he ended up not doing it. Allah who would grant him one full Hassan

00:38:08--> 00:38:09

mashallah

00:38:12--> 00:38:22

that's the second way shyness of Allah. All of this discussion was about being shy of Allah. You can only be shy of Allah if you remember Allah the second year committing the sin. Number three.

00:38:24--> 00:38:33

A third way in how a person can avoid the sin is to contemplate Allah azza wa jal, fevers upon you and His kindness upon you.

00:38:35--> 00:38:41

And to know that seems most definitely remove blessings and this is inevitable.

00:38:42--> 00:38:45

My Brothers and Sisters in Islam Allah azza wa jal has blessed us

00:38:47--> 00:38:51

immeasurably His blessings upon us are immeasurable.

00:38:52--> 00:38:57

How many has He given? Can you count? Allah He no one can count right that will do not Allah Allah.

00:38:58--> 00:39:07

Allah azza wa jal promised on top of this in Chicago to see the nakoma If you continue to remain grateful for Allah azza wa jal, you will continue to increase your blessings.

00:39:10--> 00:39:16

And not a single person that commits a sin except that Allah azza wa jal removes a blessing from him due to that sin.

00:39:17--> 00:39:59

If you repent, Allah returns this blessing for you. Or he replaces it with something similar. But if a person persists upon the sin, the blessing does not return. If a person continues to sin, blessings are removed, one after the other until the blessings are completely gone. Allah azza wa jal he says in Hola Hola, yo yo Romero, Hebei over Euro maybe unfussy him. You've probably heard the AI 100 times and 100 times you heard you heard it with the incorrect understanding. How do people translate the law will not change people until they change what's in themselves a lot. That's not the primary understanding of the A

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

The AMA means as Allah azza wa jal is set in Salton and fell delicately and hola hola como here or near matted and

00:40:09--> 00:40:36

they have a urinary and fusi. What it means is that Allah azza wa jal will not change the condition of the people, meaning he will not change the good condition in a bad condition, until they themselves go from obedience to disobedience. Most of the domains, even the ayah is saying that Allah azza wa jal has blessed you. He's giving you blessings and a good state, health and wealth and whatever it is of the provisions.

00:40:37--> 00:41:06

He does not change this, he continues to give it and provide more and more increase it so long as you are grateful. But when you change, from gratitude to ingratitude, from obedience to disobedience, then it is only expected that the blessings and the good state will go from good to that you make a Toba it's still far, Allah azza wa jal would replace and return the blessed state and good state that you're in.

00:41:08--> 00:41:09

Now,

00:41:10--> 00:41:21

so they don't only take a lot of worldly blessings, that would have been nearly half an issue. But the problem is that sins also eat up on spiritual blessings.

00:41:23--> 00:41:25

And that's very dangerous.

00:41:26--> 00:41:31

The greatest blessing that Allah azza wa jal has given us is Amen and our belief in Allah azza wa jal

00:41:32--> 00:41:33

and the sins

00:41:34--> 00:41:50

fornication stealing intoxication or gambling, backbiting cheating, the rub faith and they remove Eman until a person is left with no Eman.

00:41:51--> 00:41:58

Some of the stuff they would see I committed a sin and I was deprived of the night pray for an entire ye see how it affected his email.

00:42:01--> 00:42:04

You might find yourself you can no longer attend the masjid and listen to an Islamic lecture

00:42:05--> 00:42:18

and pray with the believers in Jamar. Why. Maybe that's because of a sin Allah deprives them of the goodness of Allah Masjid couldn't be you might have some knowledge memorize some you forgot it

00:42:19--> 00:42:23

could be a sin. Knowledge is gone. These all blessings.

00:42:24--> 00:42:35

Some people came to some of the stuff and they said we used to pray the knights and we're not able to pray anymore. He immediately answered that he said a year that kung fu buco. Your sins have shackled you and held you back.

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

Others would say I committed a sin and I was deprived from understanding parts of the Quran.

00:42:43--> 00:42:51

That's what happens. Ultimately, Adam Alayhis Salam was removed from the blessing of the Paradise because of a sin he committed. That didn't happen.

00:42:55--> 00:42:56

So concerning this,

00:42:58--> 00:43:18

if you have a blessing, and you would like to retain it, and protected, then keep away from the see. That's what the third point is teaching us. Look at your blessings. You want them. You want Allah azza wa jal to safeguard them for you to preserve them to multiply them to increase them and keep away from sins. You don't want them said

00:43:20--> 00:43:20

up to

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

yawning in summary of Nakayama Rama, Allah says since a fire that consumed blessings, just as a fire consumes firewood. And then he said We seek refuge in Allah from losing the fevers he has bestowed upon us what our safety and security be changed to other than that, now number four.

00:43:40--> 00:43:48

No am Rahim Allah Allah mentions. The fourth way in which you can avoid a sin is to fear Allah azza wa jal and dread his punishment.

00:43:51--> 00:44:10

And this can only be achieved. If you have knowledge of the punishment of Allah. You need to know the punishment of Allah, what Allah has prepared for the rebellious and for the sinners. The more knowledge you know about the hellfire and the punishment of Allah and the punishment of the grave, the more this way would work for you.

00:44:12--> 00:44:18

I tell you something, the greatest fee in life is the fear of Allah. Isn't that true?

00:44:19--> 00:44:37

You might see a dog or a lion, or someone or whatever it is that you fear of this world or life. But none of it comes near your fear of Allah has social. That's a true believer. The greatest fee that exists in his heart is the fear of Allah and Allah has anger and wrath and punishment.

00:44:40--> 00:44:59

And fearing Allah would mean that you place a barrier of protection between you and his punishment. That's what the fear of Allah means. The fear of Allah doesn't mean that you go and sit in a corner paralyzed and crippled and crying all day or night. That's not healthy for you. That's bad for you. The Healthy good fear of

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

Law is the fee that enables you and motivates you and gets you up, so that you do something and put a barrier between you and Allah socials fire and his punishment, and nothing is going to protect you from Allah's punishment, more than you avoiding sins, in other forms, a ship, minor, major sins, minor and major innovations, because sins are a cause of punishment.

00:45:29--> 00:45:32

So if you avoided sins, you avoided the punishment.

00:45:34--> 00:45:41

And of course, in addition to this Toba and doing the obligations in the other things that remove you from now file and the punishment,

00:45:42--> 00:45:43

this is why

00:45:44--> 00:45:51

there were many as in the Quran that describe the punishment in the most horrific manner.

00:45:52--> 00:45:56

You know, how many eight in the Quran that describe the punishment of Allah Zoysia

00:45:57--> 00:46:04

already they start from salt and Bacala la Milan, and he said, there's something in there, everyone local and there's something

00:46:06--> 00:46:15

and Allah Azza wa Shinn, when he describes his punishment, this is actually Allah's mercy upon the sleeves. Because he's wanting

00:46:17--> 00:46:18

you know, today

00:46:19--> 00:46:29

there are people that on an over into climbing Mount Everest, you know, Mount Everest there in Nepal, or if it is, people want to climb

00:46:31--> 00:46:36

when they spend almost 60,000 American dollars per person to climb.

00:46:37--> 00:46:48

takes about three months to get up to the summit, they call it the peak and come down. Big money training, Allahu Allah. This is what people live for. What's their purpose in life, I got to the summit.

00:46:49--> 00:46:54

But as soon as you begin, there's lots of warning signs.

00:46:55--> 00:47:08

Be away. severe headaches might happen. vomiting, you will walk like a drunk this is written on the on the warning sign, increased tiredness, shortness of breath at rest.

00:47:10--> 00:47:23

There any warnings of high altitude and the sicknesses that can happen with this deadly crevice, you know what it crevices, Yanni, you're walking on the snow and all of a sudden there's an opening

00:47:25--> 00:47:37

meters 123 100 meters, you can abort the mission. So they put a ladder and they walk it in hope that they might make it to the other side if you fall on us finished

00:47:38--> 00:47:45

all these warnings and in red then the training is telling you a WARNING WARNING WARNING at your own risk at your own risk and

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

and a couple of 10s of people buy E

00:47:51--> 00:48:12

and O and pick them up policy they stay there because the body when it freezes up up up in those high altitudes it becomes very difficult to hold. And even though everyone is there with each other but every man is for himself because I need to retain my energy to get up and come down. Anyway, these are the signs in the warnings. But you know I'm telling you all this to say what we want did

00:48:13--> 00:48:31

you go something happens? We that was my mercy to you. I told you I told them to come Don't blame me. I told him when he Allah Hill Nathanael, Allah to Allah azza wa jal belongs the highest of example on social details in detail tells us the punishment of the hellfire and the punishment of the grief.

00:48:32--> 00:48:37

Your sub boomin folk who will see Him will have been Allah azza wa jal says that those of the fire

00:48:39--> 00:48:55

scalding hot boiling water is poured over their head menfolk, you will see him Alameen not water that burn down the kettle 100 degrees. We're talking about something that we've never seen in our life and experienced.

00:48:56--> 00:49:05

As soon as it gets to their head, Allah azza wa jal says you have to be him if he will bully him. Everything that is within their bellies will begin to melt

00:49:06--> 00:49:13

once root and their skin notes what to whom mcomber Amin Hadith and in addition to this, they are struck with iron clubs.

00:49:15--> 00:49:31

Allah azza wa jal, he says in Surah Telegraph that you read every Friday in the artisanal volume in and out on how Polycom Salah depois indeed We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose walls will surround it. The fires in E and there is a wall that surrounds meaning you cannot escape.

00:49:32--> 00:49:41

What yesterday foo and if those that are inside the firewall to ever call for relief, what yesterday for the calling out for some relief for some water?

00:49:42--> 00:49:57

They will be answered. How will be the answer how will they be answered? You all will be met in Kalamoon Leah she will usual there'll be given water that is like murky oil that is extremely hot. He or she will use it barbecues the face

00:50:00--> 00:50:14

It burns the face bits a sharp, what a horrible drink. That is, what's more difficult, what an evil resting place that is why these ads in the Quran primarily to deter you from doing the sin.

00:50:15--> 00:50:34

So the more knowledge you have of Allah's punishment, and it's detail, it keeps you away from the sin. I'll give you an example. Let's say there are two rooms here. And I say to you, in this room, there is a young, pretty beautiful woman. And there is a cup of wine. There you

00:50:35--> 00:50:41

go in, close the door, do what you like. But when you come out,

00:50:42--> 00:50:51

there'll be a group of guards that will escort you to the room that's next door, and that room is on fire. We're gonna throw you in there.

00:50:52--> 00:51:04

If you go in and do what you want to do, you're going to come out you're going to be thrown right in here. Hala. Now in this world if this happened, who would go in? No one would go in. So her mother got the fire.

00:51:05--> 00:51:12

Why? Why did he go in? Why? Because I can see the fire. What Allah told us

00:51:13--> 00:51:22

is more of a reality than what the eye can see. Because this is Allah's word. It is the truth. And it is certain and it is different.

00:51:24--> 00:51:31

If you are in a room singing, and it caught fire, would you sit and continue to sing until you finish?

00:51:32--> 00:51:44

You'd get up and you walk away. That's the idea. The idea is that these things are in us who's going to look through examples in life and relate that to Dean and you'll understand exactly how it's possible to avoid a sin.

00:51:46--> 00:52:03

Focusing study the punishment of the grave, what happens in there? The idea is that the more knowledge you have of the punishment of Allah and what Allah azza wa jal is prepared for the citizen the rebellious, the more you will keep away from sins. The last version he said in NEMA Yaksha, Allah when I bear the Hill Road,

00:52:04--> 00:52:14

it is only the most knowledgeable that will fear Allah has solution. That's true knowledge. True Knowledge is what will lead you to fearing Allah azza wa jal and avoiding the sins.

00:52:18--> 00:52:43

seller for whom Allah some of them they used to see, knowledge is sufficient to have fear of Allah. Meaning if you have knowledge of the punishment of Allah, that is enough to keep you on your toes, avoiding sins and fearing Allah. And they said, ignorance is sufficient to deceive a person or to be deceived by Allah's kindness. And I'll tell you something,

00:52:45--> 00:52:57

the foolish the foolish as of no Khayyam Rahim, Allah said, are those who understand the idea of Allah's mercy and compassion, as a concession to seem

00:52:59--> 00:53:15

that's the foolish. He looks at the heart of mercy and forgiveness and Paradise and says, Oh, this Lord is merciful. Even I have a green light to sin, because very easy I'll just go back and look at the mercy but

00:53:16--> 00:53:24

the most foolish among mankind is those who used the Hadith in the eye out of Allah's mercy and forgiveness as a concession card to see

00:53:25--> 00:53:26

these Hadith and

00:53:27--> 00:53:41

are for someone who fought his knifes and eventually, let's say he's not stupid, the better of him and he fell into the sin and he ultimately regretted any he has no hope and he wants to come out and he read of Allah's Mercy Alhamdulillah he braced Allah's forgiveness and

00:53:43--> 00:53:55

fought himself never ever to fall back into the sin, the hadith of mercy and forgiveness for such a person so that he doesn't despair and lose hope, because then that will be a disaster to lose hope in Allah's solution.

00:53:56--> 00:54:08

The fifth reason is to love Allah subhanho wa taala. And by 5pm Rahim Allah He said, This is the strongest way to remain patient, and avoid sins and transgression altogether.

00:54:10--> 00:54:15

This is because the person obey is the one who he loves. When you love someone, you obey Him.

00:54:17--> 00:54:26

And the stronger the love of Allah exists in your heart, the more you want to obey Him, and the more you want to keep away from his prohibitions.

00:54:27--> 00:54:35

When a person commits sins and transgression, it's because he has weak love for Allah azza wa jal in his heart.

00:54:36--> 00:54:43

I tell you something my brothers and sisters in Islam, loving Allah azza wa jal is the greatest level of iman.

00:54:45--> 00:54:59

But that's the pillar of every worship. Every single worship that we perform is out of our love for Allah assertion. And then it needs to have two other things out of fear of Allah and in hope of his reward.

00:55:01--> 00:55:15

There are, there are pillars for worship. There are three pillars for every worship. And there are two conditions for every worship. The pillars of worship is that any worship you do, you do it out of love for Allah,

00:55:16--> 00:55:42

out of fear of his punishment, and hoping in his reward and Paradise and mercy. And then there are conditions, number one that you're supposed to be sincere, wanting your reward only from Allah and appreciation only from Allah. And they should be whatever the other condition is that you need to execute this good deed and worship, in accordance to the teachings of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So loving Allah is a great matter.

00:55:44--> 00:55:49

And the one who truly love someone else, from it signs is that he will be him.

00:55:50--> 00:56:05

And if you love something, or love someone, you are passionate to get through it. Right? As young people, when you are experiencing your marriage, you knew this, when your eyes fell on a sister that you loved.

00:56:06--> 00:56:08

You did anything to get done.

00:56:09--> 00:56:11

This isn't this is in the human being.

00:56:12--> 00:56:17

Not only humans, and even other things, sometimes you love something you're desperate to get to it.

00:56:18--> 00:56:36

Whoever in his whoever is into his cars and so on, knows what I will meet whoever is into his games or whatever knows what I mean. Whoever is waiting for whatever it is to be released in the market, he knew he wants to get through it. And when you love something, have passion to get through it.

00:56:37--> 00:56:47

You would you do whatever to get to it. And to bring yourself closer to it. Because you believe that if you got it, there is tranquility within it.

00:56:49--> 00:57:20

Whoever loves something, loves to meet whoever loves something, loves to look at it. Whoever loves something, loves to listen to whoever loves something loves to be close to it. So whoever loves Allah has solution. He must also show me love to meet Allah assertion. Whoever loves Allah and loves to be close to him and loves his company. He would also love to see Allah and he would love to hear Allah assertion. And he would love everything that Allah loves and he would hate everything that Allah azza wa jal hates.

00:57:22--> 00:57:40

So if a person knows that the sin will prevent him from all these goodnesses because when you do a sin, you're doing what Allah hates, that could deprive you of meeting Allah azza wa jal with him being pleased with you. It could deprive you of listening to him and seeing him in the Paradise.

00:57:41--> 00:57:46

When you know this year avoid sins altogether. And you will only do that which brings you closer to him.

00:57:48--> 00:57:56

And my brothers and sisters in Islam, there is a difference between a person who abandoned abandoned a sin due to his fear of Allah

00:57:57--> 00:58:11

and His punishment. There's a difference between this person and a person who abandons the sin out of love of Allah Subhan Allah Maha Pablo the Allahu Anhu. He said nierman up to swipe. Lola macrophylla, let me ask you

00:58:12--> 00:58:37

a lot about the Allahu Anhu said that Sahiba Rumi. What a blessed slave was Sahiba Romeo obey Allah Juan. If he had never feed Allah, He would have never disobeyed Allah azza wa jal. You know what that means? It means if he never feed Allah's punishment, he already had enough love for Allah azza wa jal, that would have prevented him from falling into the sin and disobeying Allah.

00:58:39--> 00:58:57

But sahibabad The Allahu Anhu loved Allah and feed Allah azza wa jal at the same time because we said that these two things must be in the heart. But the idea is avoiding a sin out of love for Allah. There's more sweetness to it, and beauty to it than avoiding a sin out of fear of Allah solution.

00:58:59--> 00:59:29

For you need to grow your love for Allah azza wa jal in order for this strategy and method to be effective. What milennium Rahim Allah mentioned something extremely important here. He says, The me love will not bring about any results, just loving will not bring any result. You need to love Allah alongside venerating and exalting him. You need to love Allah while at the same time honoring Allah and respecting Allah assertion. These are two they have to go hand in hand.

00:59:30--> 00:59:59

You know, sometimes you can love someone without respecting him. You really then will not care how he responds to you and if, for example, a child if his parents let him go for the first strong, let him go for the second round. He loves his parents, a child loves his parents, but now he doesn't care what kind of trouble he does in front of them because they let me go. He doesn't respect them. He loves them but he does not honor them. So when he sees his dad or his mom, he's ready to get the permanent marker and just run across the wall and just look at him.

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

Thank you.

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

Not that that's a wrong thing to do. But it is to say to you that he loves but there's no respect and honor as opposed to children when they know their father arrived in

01:00:12--> 01:00:14

the telephone or the TV or whatever it is.

01:00:17--> 01:00:24

And so, one alongside his love of Allah, he must respect and honor Allah so He

01:00:26--> 01:01:03

had you on our last version, by abundantly making dhikr of Allah, the more of the Quran, your tongue Subhan Allah 100 No, la la la la Mola, hakavod the morning of girl to the evening of girl that I've got after the prayer the girl before you sleep, you have girls during the day and during the night the more you make liquor of Allah at the you respect Allah so if you're in a process of honoring Allah azza wa jal and now your love and honoring Allah that goes together now you'll be able to stop and keep away from sin, because you respect the law. So here your honor Him alongside the a lot of you will not fall into the sin. Now

01:01:05--> 01:01:09

Subhanallah sometimes we even have this among each other.

01:01:10--> 01:01:15

You might love someone and you respect them a lot. So

01:01:17--> 01:01:23

the system loves another sister. She honors her respecter. They were sitting together one day,

01:01:24--> 01:01:27

and one of them said something bad to another.

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

But then she got confused.

01:01:33--> 01:01:41

Did she get upset or not? I don't know. This is after they've separated she's gone home she's gone home starts playing on the mind.

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

Maybe I upset her with what I said.

01:01:45--> 01:02:01

I saw the last one out malarkey. So the phone comes out. WhatsApp voice Salam Alaikum system so that I could brother whoever it is, Allah, you know, I said 123 And I didn't mean it this way. You know, of course our relationship Allah have too much respect for you. I'm sorry. So now

01:02:03--> 01:02:24

if you have that kind of attitude in your relationship with Allah azza wa jal, things would be healthy and good for you. Imagine, who does this during the day in the night? Do you at the end of the night, sit down and observe your day? What did I say that was maybe wrong? What did I do today that maybe would have made Allah displeased with me.

01:02:26--> 01:02:35

So at the end of the night, I stop. And I begin to call out to Allah assertion. Allah assertion, I said such and such

01:02:36--> 01:02:38

volume to enough. See, I've wronged myself.

01:02:40--> 01:03:16

And I regret what I had done and what I had said, and forgive me, Allah and bestow Your mercy upon when you do this. If you're someone that not only loves Allah, but you respect and your honor your relationship with Allah, it's too precious. He can't just let go of it and just sleep, not caring about what you did and said during the day. It's too much I have to get up and make although, and I need to really look into what I said and did during this day and I need to really seek forgiveness for it. Because I respect my relationship with them. I can't just let it go like this and sleep and not care about what I did. These are some of the ways in how you honor Allah azza wa jal alongside

01:03:16--> 01:03:18

loving him. Number six.

01:03:20--> 01:03:27

Listen very carefully, having self respect, and honor and dignity for yourself.

01:03:29--> 01:03:38

This will cause a person to refrain from anything that will humiliate or this honor him and make him similar to the foolish number six means It means this.

01:03:40--> 01:04:16

Let me explain TVs, you know people when it comes to the to their personalities, they have two types. You have people that have dignity and self respect. They are normal. They don't do things that are foolish. They don't like foolishness. They always aspire to achieve excellence. Right Alia said in their life, they worship Allah as though Allah azza wa jal can see them. They purify themselves from environments of sin, and from haram and from the sinners. They dislike what brings them humiliation, and shame and dishonor. They keep away from it.

01:04:17--> 01:04:29

These are men and women that have honor a nobility and self respect. And these are the qualities in the traits of a believer. You have to have self respect. It's called Al karama, when

01:04:30--> 01:05:00

Allah azza wa jal when he described the believers he said, Why aren't a bunch of jaylene turn away from foolishness, and from ignorance, turn away from it. He said, well, either my beloved will not grow KERAMA the believer when he passes my foolishness and stupidity and nonsense, he walks past it in a dignified fashion. He has too much self respect. I can't be among rich rubbish. He walks away. Allah saw him he said he assaulted me

01:05:00--> 01:05:38

don't want Lavina whom analog way more than that the believers males and females are those who keep away from nonsense. It's too humiliating for him he doesn't come close to it. I have too much self respect I can't be around foolishness. This is one type of people, when they be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said in Allahu Shamir in your handbook, Jamal, will you help them early and more worker who suffer Sefa in the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam says Verily Allah is beautiful and he loves beauty. And he loves the loftiness of affairs of self respect. Allah loves the people that have self respect.

01:05:40--> 01:05:48

And he disapproves of pettiness and nonsense. He doesn't like for the believer to be around foolishness and nonsense.

01:05:50--> 01:05:53

have self respect by him. Now,

01:05:54--> 01:06:03

that's one type of people. They have self respect. Such people when it comes to a sin, He has too much self respect to come near a sin.

01:06:04--> 01:06:09

I got self respect. I'm gonna lock myself in a room for a few minutes. Do something Hello.

01:06:12--> 01:06:39

What a humiliation. Some of the stuff. They were asked. How did you earn yourself respect? How did you become honorable and noble? He said, by Allah. If people consider drinking water or humiliation, I would have never drank water in my life. Had a self respect. What is humiliating in society, keep away from it. Don't come here.

01:06:41--> 01:06:42

Like

01:06:43--> 01:07:12

the other type of people, or people that don't have self respect, the opposite. Wherever this foolishness you find them they, when they speak, they speak foolishness. When they do a deed, it is foolishly that they don't care about the condition. They don't care about their state. They have no feelings, no regret, no self accountability, no honor, no dignity, no self respect whatsoever. These are people that will give you the word on something and then he doesn't care to follow up his word.

01:07:13--> 01:07:24

He doesn't have any self respect. Someone like this is going to fall into sin. If he didn't respect himself in front of the people. You think he's going to respect himself in private when he's between him and the same?

01:07:25--> 01:07:51

He's humiliated anyway, he doesn't care. I tell you something. This is a big problem. It is a big problem in society. How did we end up with the majority of the world having no self respect? I tell you something. And maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam said from one of the signs of the hour workers are evil oh me out of their home from the signs of the hour is that the leader of the people becomes the most foolish among them.

01:07:53--> 01:08:01

Today's world there is no true genuine leadership right behold across the globe, whether it's disbelievers or believers, there's no true genuine leadership.

01:08:03--> 01:08:09

There is something that is called social media. And then there is Tiktok in Instagram and Facebook and

01:08:11--> 01:08:14

Twitter. What happened all this YouTube

01:08:16--> 01:08:17

and

01:08:18--> 01:08:25

the other has the most followers they are called influences. These are the role models that the world has presented. Who are these people?

01:08:27--> 01:08:28

Kid

01:08:29--> 01:08:33

on YouTube you might have the the highest followed on YouTube is who

01:08:34--> 01:08:44

Mr. Beast had he sounds like a name of self respect, Mr. Beast 134 million followers. That five times Australia all over.

01:08:47--> 01:08:48

But yeah, Kid

01:08:49--> 01:08:50

foolishness.

01:08:51--> 01:08:53

naked woman, naked men

01:08:54--> 01:09:00

with 400 million followers. What? How many? How many times Australia is that?

01:09:01--> 01:09:10

Gangsters, actors, dancers, singers, sportsmen taken. These are the influences of today and they're the role models.

01:09:12--> 01:09:27

And what happens when people see these people doing foolishness, talking foolishness, acting foolishly dressing foolishly. Naturally, it has an effect on the one who follows them.

01:09:28--> 01:09:43

When the average human being is scrolling about two to 300 meters a day. As a UK study mentioned, he becomes affected slowly slowly now you don't have any more self respect. Why? Because your role models have no self respect.

01:09:46--> 01:09:47

And this becomes a problem.

01:09:48--> 01:09:50

While hola hola Quwata illa Allah.

01:09:53--> 01:09:56

How is the believer going to earn self respect?

01:09:57--> 01:10:00

By choosing a correct role model for himself?

01:10:01--> 01:10:10

by being around people of knowledge, people have wisdom. By being around people that have self respect and honor and dignity.

01:10:11--> 01:10:14

You are the environment that you're in.

01:10:16--> 01:10:20

So, self respect will keep you away from sins.

01:10:23--> 01:10:27

going find self respect, and I told you how it's Earth and salt.

01:10:29--> 01:10:39

People have knowledge and Masjid. People have wisdom. Right? People that respect themselves and soon soon enough, you'll become like them

01:10:40--> 01:10:43

now Subhanallah today,

01:10:44--> 01:10:52

this people don't have self respect, right? You look look what we have today. You will have men dancing.

01:10:54--> 01:10:55

Marriages,

01:10:56--> 01:10:57

marriage ceremony?

01:10:59--> 01:11:11

Have it isn't it humiliating? For a man to dance? And let this woman and men mixed in a wedding ceremony? Keith and I just don't look at it because it's humiliating and embarrassed for them.

01:11:12--> 01:11:23

How? You see people today, men grown up men go to a restaurant. And he's on his phone, take a picture of the food have some self respect to them? But

01:11:24--> 01:11:30

what are you doing? Why? Why the picture of the food? Why why when you get this from? Where did this culture comes from?

01:11:32--> 01:11:41

to share it? What do you want from people's like? Why do you want people to comment on what you ate? Why do you want people to share what you ate? Why do you want people to see what you ate?

01:11:42--> 01:12:00

Where did this come from? This stems from new self respect from new dignity no honor. That's where it comes from. You find grown men standing outside a gender reveal party having spent 1000s of dollars just to tell me if it's a boy or a girl

01:12:02--> 01:12:03

and then he's

01:12:04--> 01:12:07

and pink is coming out of it. Yeah, can you respect yourself?

01:12:08--> 01:12:15

Isn't that humiliating? Headache why has the only so because the role models in the influences of this world the life of dragged Ronnie

01:12:16--> 01:12:29

and the Muslim doesn't know any better it follows what I told you there's no leadership in the world. This is what you have. And as a result, you produce 1000s of 1000s of men that there is no self respect within them

01:12:32--> 01:12:34

what are how no let go at the level where we

01:12:39--> 01:12:39

do have time.

01:12:44--> 01:12:52

Number seven have no pain Rahim Allah mentions to have resounding knowledge of the evil consequences of sins.

01:12:56--> 01:13:03

When you know the consequences of sins, what happens after a sin? There'll be enough to keep you away from the sin.

01:13:04--> 01:13:20

Yanni have an opinion Rahim Allah He mentioned with this is a Hadith of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. When a person sins every sin he does, it is a black.in His heart, black dot black thought until the entire heart becomes black.

01:13:21--> 01:13:35

There are consequences to the since the heart becomes black, it dies. Darkness in the face, a gloomy dark heart, depression, stress, anxiety, sadness and pain,

01:13:36--> 01:13:43

confinement of the heart, extreme unrest, lack of focus, weakness when facing the enemy,

01:13:44--> 01:14:04

spoiling the hearts beauty, confusion in all your affairs. These are the consequences of sins, a sense of abandonment, being overpowered by one's enemy, failing to benefit from your own knowledge and not acting on your knowledge, forgetting to act on what you have learned and having weakness in this matter.

01:14:06--> 01:14:42

Until the hunt dies altogether, these are consequences. You know, grab the Melaka robbery Allah who is a companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam fell into a major sin. And that is that when in the recent Allahu alayhi wa sallam and the army of 30,000 went towards the book, and going towards that battle was worshipped for everyone that was in Medina. And of course avoiding the worst avoiding a battle and not attending is a major sin at the hull of Ireland is a major sin. Gah, probably Allahu Anhu decided not to join. His knifes got the better of him and he remained in Medina. What happened happened after Allama Shavon

01:14:44--> 01:14:51

he committed this major sin. You know the terrible consequences that happened to him afterwards met a companion and that's one thing.

01:14:53--> 01:15:00

Allah azza wa jal describes the consequence upon a Sahabi he says have to either walk up ally human or Bobby Melba to

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

About properly him and also

01:15:02--> 01:15:15

the feast a massive calamity Allah azza wa jal described the the earth became tight upon them, and their soul became tight upon them they sold weighed heavy on them, because of a sin they committed. You know what this means?

01:15:16--> 01:15:30

They experienced an external calamity and an internal calamity. I tell you what this means. Sometimes a person can experience an internal calamity, meaning you may be depressed and sad.

01:15:31--> 01:15:38

That's an internal calamity. But on the outside things are pretty good for you have all you have opportunity. People love you, people care for you.

01:15:40--> 01:15:55

Also, you can have it the other way around. Sometimes you can experience an external calamity. People hate you people abuse you, people insult you mock you. But inside, you're happy, you're content. You don't care about what people say and

01:15:57--> 01:16:02

these companions are experiencing both at the same time, internal and external.

01:16:04--> 01:16:42

Allah azza wa jal says Batali him on the earth became tight upon them even though it is vast and spacious, referring to the fact that they were boycotted, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam commanded the entire Medina no one talked to they were three companions among them come, no one talked to them, not a single word. Later on, he commanded their wives to abandon them and leave them. She's getting really busy, huge external calamity. And it weighed heavy on their soul on the inside. Internal calamity referring to the fact that they were overwhelmed by sadness and grief and pain. garbled the Allahu Anhu would say the worst thing I ever fought during this time, is what if in the

01:16:42--> 01:16:50

beast of Allahu Allah he was ill and died during the time he is boycotting us. He would have died having never spoken to us.

01:16:51--> 01:17:00

He would have died displeased with me Hold on our quality level I imagine. You'd rather than won't be upset except the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

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

This is the kind of life they faced, for 40 days. 40 days 50 days I forgot.

01:17:09--> 01:17:16

Until the Toba was revealed and Allah azza wa jal accepted, but that was the consequence of one sin. And that was a companion.

01:17:18--> 01:17:35

Sort of non pay Mohammed Allah is saying, focus on the consequences of the sins, the sinners face. They face humiliation of the dignity and honor the sinner becomes a slave to his desire and to his enemy. When once his enemy used to feed him,

01:17:36--> 01:17:38

the sinner loses authority

01:17:39--> 01:17:42

of himself push upon overwrites him and takes him

01:17:44--> 01:17:50

the sinner. The safety and peace and contentment that he had in the heart is gone, and it's replaced with fee and agony.

01:17:52--> 01:18:11

These are some of these matters in addition to this time will be wasted. The greatest blessing time, every second spent in sin will never come back. And you will be questioned about it as a consequence of similar how now that they live in Hawaii my brothers and sisters in Islam time is your capital.

01:18:12--> 01:18:23

You need to invest your time in doing what is pleasing to Allah azza wa jal in hoop to attain Allah's pleasure in the Paradise and we said sins deprive a person from sweetness of worship and Eman

01:18:24--> 01:18:44

and from the consequences of sin is that one leads to another because Allah said do not follow the footsteps of shape on why did he say footsteps of shape or because a footstep is one after the other you go into one you'll be in another second third until you make a Tobin pull out of the cycle of sins altogether

01:18:47--> 01:18:47

she'll assault

01:18:50--> 01:18:52

or time is solid

01:18:55--> 01:19:26

thanks for watching. We have the 10 more minutes okay be if they left 10 more minutes I go very quickly Shall I it's up to you. You want to continue always stop by quickly shall Mata Allah number eight. Abdullah Mohammed Hola. He said, to stop having false worldly hope. Meaning Stop dreaming of this worldly life and start having solid conviction and certainty that you will soon depart the soul to life. You know, the quicker you realize that we are only travelers in this world the life

01:19:27--> 01:19:59

then this will help you avoid the sin. Because a traveler when he enters a town, he is very determined to leave it and move. You know when you travel on the road and you're going to somewhere and you stop at the server who hangs out at a solo when he's got a long drive. You go in Ilaria Parappa Allah He needs to go to the bathroom get in and get up then like we can you want to go. He only take what you need and you're in a rush and the cost alone you don't turn it off. That's a traveler. That's the idea of a travel and maybe some Allahu Allah you know suddenly

01:20:00--> 01:20:41

He said Be in this world the life as a traveler or a stranger. When the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam he said In another Hadith be in this world, the life like a rider who rests under the shade of a tree and then he moves on. As a traveler, you don't sit down, or you don't. And then was was is when you're a traveler, and you're packing up things you don't need. And that's the person who commits sins. A traveler, you need to be nice and quick. You need to be ready. You're coming in, you're departing soon. Why would you carry baggage you don't want? And that seems, what do you what do you why do you want to meet Allah azza wa jal with all of this? Why would you want to burden yourself?

01:20:42--> 01:20:46

Allah azza wa jal, he says about those who come on the Day of Judgment with sins,

01:20:47--> 01:20:54

Yamuna Oza oh my god, I have loaded him. They're carrying their sins on their back.

01:20:55--> 01:21:27

Why'd you take him with you for you could have just went there nice and light, traveled likely to Allah azza wa jal, with your righteous deeds and your good actions. So the more you come to the realization that we are only travelers, and stop having delusional dreams of this world, they lie in finance, I need to build this and I want to own this and I need to do this and I need to fix this. By the way, who if you went to the cemetery today? I guarantee every single person that is buried

01:21:29--> 01:21:34

if you ask them, brother or sister, did you finish all your worldly affairs before you entered this grave?

01:21:36--> 01:21:46

No one will say I finished. There is no one in the grave that says anomala Hamdulillah. I finished everything and I was ready. So I went into my whole finally, tourist

01:21:48--> 01:21:58

had asked him in his grave he'll say, Well, I was on my way to work and accident reports of how I went someone else one I had plans to marry off my son but

01:22:00--> 01:22:05

it cut, cut short, couldn't fulfill my dream. One time What about the other one?

01:22:06--> 01:22:23

I wanted to enjoy this kind of food and I want to travel here and I wanted to achieve this and I wanted to learn this but how's it going? Hey Carlos, understand there is nothing in this world the life that will reach satisfaction and peace. Impossible.

01:22:24--> 01:22:47

There's always unfinished business. So get rid of the dreams and start focusing on what's important and what's certain and that is that you're leaving very soon. And then insha Allah azza wa jal will keep you away from the sins number nine, avoiding of nuclear Mohammed Allah says very interesting. He says avoiding excess in eating drinking clothing, sleeping and gathering with the people.

01:22:48--> 01:22:49

How does this make sense?

01:22:51--> 01:23:08

He says this is because the strong temptation to sin it comes from these over indulging in documents. Thus when the permissible no longer satisfies a person who moves to the impermissible I tell you something my brothers and sisters in Islam these are five things you're supposed to avoid excess of.

01:23:10--> 01:23:15

What are they eating, drinking clothing, sleeping and gathering with the people

01:23:16--> 01:23:28

take what you need of these five and do not over indulge. Why? Because when you in over indulge in that which is permissible, right? You ate until your fault

01:23:29--> 01:23:35

you drank until your fall you slept 10 hours until there's no more sleep in your eyes.

01:23:36--> 01:24:00

You dress the best than the very best of the best you hang out with people the entire night and you came back home just before for sure excess of this stuff you know what it does? I'm not telling you that this was how long but in all the indulging is what in what is permissible? You will find that there's no satisfaction in this. So now where are you gonna go? There is no way except to go now to alcohol

01:24:02--> 01:24:14

so that's why you should avoid and you know in blah blah blah when we're fasting. The vast majority of people that are normal they don't develop a desire for sin when they're fasting. Isn't that true?

01:24:16--> 01:24:29

Who here sins when he is fasting? If an apple if it Halliwell you will not eat it even if you are in a room alone. No one does a sin in Ramadan. Why? You know why? You're starving.

01:24:30--> 01:24:35

So you're thinking of something halal food, you don't have time to think Hello, hello first.

01:24:37--> 01:24:48

So when you eat only that which you need and sleep only that which you need. You always have a desire to go again and eat when you get you know, you're only now looking towards what is halal.

01:24:50--> 01:24:56

And I tell you something, when it comes to food and drink and the Beast Allahu Allah, you are Salam. He said,

01:24:57--> 01:24:59

Ma'am, Mullah Abdul oedema. were in shock.

01:25:00--> 01:25:05

Woman boggling that the son of Adam did not feel a vessel worse than his stomach.

01:25:07--> 01:25:21

And maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam said there has been near them and leukemia to new criminal Samba. It is enough. Listen, this is the advice of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, not some nutritional expert. This is why

01:25:22--> 01:25:29

he said it is enough for the son of Adam, to eat a few morsels of food that will keep his back straight.

01:25:31--> 01:25:37

Because that's the purpose of food. You're supposed to eat and get up energized and refreshed.

01:25:38--> 01:25:56

In the reason Allahu alayhi wa sallam, when he said, if if you wanted to go on up, let's say a few morsels, and it wasn't enough, you want to go all out that day, then no problems go on out, but a third for your stomach of a third of food. A third for drink a third for a,

01:25:58--> 01:25:58

you know, the stomach,

01:25:59--> 01:26:04

from one side to the other in terms of its length is around 25 centimeters.

01:26:05--> 01:26:08

And in width, it's around 16 centimeters.

01:26:10--> 01:26:16

And an empty stomach that is relaxed, fills about one quarter, which is about 933 mils.

01:26:18--> 01:26:35

If it's filled to the max, and Yanni filled stretched, it can fill about four liters or four kilos of food that if it's stretched, when it's relaxed, a third of that is about three to 350 300 to 350 grams. That's a third.

01:26:38--> 01:26:39

Now what are we eating every day?

01:26:41--> 01:26:52

You see the ID This is why when a person over eats, he feels the first third food it shouldn't stop there. The next one is for water should stop there leaving a bit of room to

01:26:53--> 01:26:58

breathe. Can you fill it all up with food while I'm sleeping?

01:26:59--> 01:27:05

I mean, after you eat you're supposed to be energy, like a car. When there's no petrol you fill it up, it's ready to go.

01:27:06--> 01:27:14

So that you filmed what happened today. When we filmed ourselves, we sat and we lazy and I can't move well I need to sit down a little bit.

01:27:17--> 01:27:21

That's because we avoided Sunita Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

01:27:22--> 01:27:31

we avoided so this is what happened when the stomach is full. And to get the food out of my face, I can't see it. Now

01:27:33--> 01:27:55

I think have a seat. Now the desire comes up because I'm a home full of the hello and what else didn't satisfy now on something else now. Now you're rushed to the hour. Meanwhile, if you follow the prophetic advice, Hill the third the you have energy of strength, you're moving up the bow, you're able to worship Allah tiredness is gone and Castle is removed.

01:27:56--> 01:28:09

over eating disturbs the body and it disturbs the heart as well. And this is not to say that it is haram to eat until you go in excess excess.

01:28:10--> 01:28:16

From time to time, that's okay. Let them be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once he was with Ebola,

01:28:17--> 01:28:30

and he gave up a hotel Euro a bowl of milk and he said to him drink and he drank so he gave it back to the messenger sauce and I've never seen them sit there and drink water he drank again. Gave it returned three four times.

01:28:31--> 01:28:38

Fourth, he said to him drink I will hold on Allah said Let as you do the homeless liquor on this no more room for it.

01:28:39--> 01:28:46

From time to time you can fill until there's no more room but not the norm. If you make this a habit and you consistently on this

01:28:48--> 01:29:04

house, the body harms the heart. How's the relationship of Allah laziness settles in the desire to sin comes there and a person can no longer control himself. Finally, this one is very short. This is the last one that 10 million Rahim Allah said to sum up the matter.

01:29:05--> 01:29:06

He said

01:29:07--> 01:29:14

it is for the branches of Eman to firmly be rooted in the heart. He said Thus,

01:29:15--> 01:29:57

a person is patient in avoiding sins only when his Iman is strong. If a man is weak, a person will commit sins. If a man is strong, a person will avoid sins, even is to fill the heart with the belief that Allah is watching is to fill the heart with the belief that Allah has solution has prepared a punishment for the sinners and he has prepared a paradise and mercy and blessings for the believers. When that email is strong, you will be away from sins and this is why in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam said Al Eman o'clock Eman wears and tears away.

01:29:58--> 01:29:59

So he said for Salam
