We know what men are Ham
was allowed why men are him and hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah while looking at wasabi, here's mine. All Praise and thanks belongs to Allah subhanho wa Taala and may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his seventh and final messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as thought follows My dear respected Brothers and Sisters in Islam salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
We continue the girl and we're up to the
sixth or seventh, I think is the sixth, seventh
liquor.
First and foremost, we need to understand that we need to know and acknowledge that we are in desperate need of understanding the alcohol
in order to reach in order so that we can read them with a present heart, and in order for our event to be renewed and our relationship with Allah azza wa jal to be renewed. When the RE sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has already informed us about an attitude we're supposed to have when we make dua, and most of these are dealt
with Nabi SallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam he said to the Allahu Allah and to move to a new level Asia, when making dua, reading the account of a Sivan Messiah and they admire, then you must do so, while being certain,
being certain of the meanings of the DUA that Allah azza wa jal accepted.
And in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, while Mo and Allah Allah is the human Kanban or feeling let him and you better although that Allah azza wa jal does not answer the DUA that is coming from a heedless, distracted heart.
So a heedless heart is the heart that is not certain of the greatness of Allah has solution. That's a heedless heart. A heedless heart is someone who is asking, calling them to Allah's mercy, but really from the inside he is not convinced that it will reach him. That's a heedless heart. He This heart is someone who is asking Allah azza wa jal for forgiveness, but at the same time, his heart is weak, and he doubts that Allah azza wa jal is forgiveness would reach him. This is a heedless heart. And the other description was, lay him, Allah azza wa jal does not accept a dua does not answer the door from a distracted heart. A distracted heart is a dog is a heart in which the tongue is saying
words, the tongue is engaging in dialogue in vicar. But the heart is not connecting with the tongue because it doesn't understand what the tongue you see, as a result, the heart is distracted. So the distraction of the heart is that a person says words, and he has no clue what he is seeing. This is why we are in desperate need of understanding the occult, once we understand them, through the eyes of God through these doors that we will then understand and acknowledge the greatness of Allah azza wa jal, we will look down to Allah's ability whatsoever to bestow his mercy and forgiveness upon us that you will not doubt at all. And then when you understand what you're saying, you're focused on
that which you're saying, the heart is present it because you're understanding as a result, you escaped these two negative descriptions which were heedless and distracted. So that's why it is important to understand the alcohol so that you may save your heart from distraction.
And according to how much you understand is according to how much you will see of the effect of the of God in your life. And so of course, this doesn't mean that you give up on the alcohol altogether. Now, since I'm not understanding it, meaning what's the point of reading it? No, no, I'm not saying this so you can get to that. Rather what we're seeing is that you remain committed upon me of God, you remain committed, but then you need to make full effort in trying to understand something of what you already and then everyone is always on a journey to enhance his knowledge and understanding of these accounts, in hope that he may be brought closer to Allah subhanahu wa taala. So ask Allah
azza wa jal to grant us understanding and wisdom and a present during our DUA and during our resuscitation of the healthcare.
Tonight, my brothers and sisters in Islam, I share with you a thicket that is to be said in the morning and in the evening. The narration as mentioned by Abdul Rashid brawny Rahim, Allah, He said, I came to Ebola at an angle of Milhouse, meaning this theory came to a companion. And he said team had beaten me Miss America Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he said team, inform us of something that you heard from the messenger
Allahu alayhi wa sallam
for Alka la Asahi fatten
for call ahead and marketable. Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So this companion our beloved Ahmed gave a boo Rashid. He gave him a scroll, a paper is written words on it. And he said to him, this is what the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wrote. Now, that doesn't mean that in a bizarre Salah wrote because he was unlettered, he was illiterate. He didn't know how to read nor write. So what it means in the narration is that a Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would have told the Ebola of an Amr, right the following words I will see so he dictated to him and then Ebola of an AMA wrote, or it could be that no you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam dictated to someone else. And then
that scroll ended up being in the hands of Ebola that allows
so in this paper, now about Russia that Ronnie holds it, and he says, I looked into it and I found in it about cleanness, Sadiq Albee Allahu Anhu on ya rasool Allah, Allah Nima Akula, either us but wherever I'm saved, in this sheet, there was written in, indeed, above, across so they probably Allah who, once he asked them to be sallallahu alayhi wa sallam saying to him, or messenger of Allah, teach me, teach me something that I should say every morning and every evening. Then the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, saying, Allah Houma felt a little similarity will I live a lie because shahada or Baku li che in WA Malika a shadow Allah Ilaha illa Allah will be coming shortly
enough Xeomin surely che upon your shoulder kit, one actory for other NFC su n o DuBrul Illa Muslim
some durations
added the last part so the original narration is all the we can share with enough CO Michel Rishi upon your shift key. And it stops he have a narration where shallaki I'll explain this when we get the other narrations and they are authentic, added one activity for Allah NFC Su and our Euro who Illa Muslim. And this is why the majority of the apps you'll find the extended full version. And this
this Likud as well has been rated with the first two freezes rearranged. So the way I read it to you is Allahumma fell last summer it will or eliminate your Shahada. Other generations this is rearranged Allahumma Alleman, right. Your shahada felt a little similarity? Well, and they are both authentic, and which one is better to be preferred for resuscitation? No doubt, it would be Allahumma felt a little similar to a lot of animal hydroshare head and you won't find this being the common in apps and in a gal papers. But this is what is better even though the other one is authentic. Why do we say that along with a file that was similar to Al Abadi, my labor shahada is
better to do it in this order. Because this is the order that is also found in the Quran. When Allah azza wa jal Cillian suited to Zuma, bully Lahoma fell below somehow it will RBI Lima, labia Shahadat, the Antetokounmpo binary bedika female can will be here after the food. So because the Quranic arrangement was that felt that was somehow what was first then I live and it was second. And so long as this narration is authentic, then we will prefer this one over the other arrangement, Allahu Allah.
In this hadith, my brothers and sisters in Islam, we learn the humility of a student of knowledge and the greatest of this ummah, Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu and being who he is the virtues that he has the knowledge that he has, that still didn't prevent him from learning. So he himself is asking in the visa Allahu Allah Salam teach me something I can see the morning in the evening.
The other thing we learn is that it is obligatory upon the believer when he is seeking knowledge to seek it from authentic sources. So he's Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah, seeking from the most authentic source which is in the visa Allahu alayhi wa sallam. Then we have at the beginning of this or this was an aberration, that Hebron Rahim Allah, he was seeking knowledge removed from the companion, the companion or biller and the normal admin house. So the idea is, you seek knowledge from the authentic source. We also see in this narration
we see through the character of Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah, the love and the passion that the companions of the Allahu Anhu had to learn. They had this passion for learning and seeking knowledge, knowledge that would bring them close to Allah subhanahu wa taala and this exactly, should always be
The Attitude of the believer, my brothers and sisters in Islam there's something very important here of advice to give and that is.
You see this Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Allah, coming to the resolve Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and asking him, teach me something I can see in the morning in the evening. I need you to think of this and then compare it to what we have today, of certain groups and people. And there are a lot.
And these are people that came after the Companions after a Debian and they invented certain of guilt. They call it an observe and award, mainly the Sufi group. And they invented these accounts, so that they can recite them. And they legislated and recommended their followers to also see them and recite them
back. They've written a bunch of girls that had absolutely nothing to do with the Quran, sunnah Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, no proof whatsoever. Read al Fatiha 10 times in the morning, read this ticket 1000 times, say this one 821 times, things like that. Specific I've dealt with specific numbers. And this no doubt is an innovation. I'm over Krabi. Allahu Anhu was easily able to make up his own routine of account very easy, he could have just made up his own routine of the good in the morning and in the evening. However, he knows that the religion of Allah azza wa jal is a religion to be followed. And it is not for you to innovate and introduce matters that are not related to it.
Islam is to follow the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in all that which he came up with the guidance Obon must obey Allahu Anhu he said in an activity while an app 31 activity or Willa Natalia Wallen, Nabila math and a second ebill Alpha. These are very powerful words, he said, I've been Masood is talking on his behalf and on behalf of all the companions and all the true believers, he said we follow and we do not innovate and we will never become misguided so long as we are upholding the authentic sunnah.
And so Abu Bakr Radi Allahu Anhu
says are limini men who either us back to what I'm saying, Oh messenger of Allah teach me. You teach me I'm not going to go and make up my own
has an own routine concerning the Afghan I wanted from you, you teach me. So now my brothers and sisters in Islam, all these books, and all these recommended afghan
that the people have in their hands such as our Lord seiad Whatever select the new Rania and the different things that are in it all this must be thrown away. There is no proof for them at all from the Quran and Sunnah tannery some Allahu alayhi wa sallam as a result, they must be removed. And a person commits himself to the Sunnah, and taught the companions were upon and that is enough for us. He said, I will record the Allah one eluding now a whole either us but what I'm saying
what we benefit from this is that the Companions knew
that the early morning and the early evening, which is the end of the day, this is a time of vicar that no Abu Bakr was asking ourselves and teach me something I can see in the morning and in the evening. What does that mean? That means the Companions knew that these are times of worship. These are times of vicar. So we are rasool Allah teach me something, how can I worship Allah during these important blessed times? This is a time of remembrance of Allah. So Allah Subhanallah compare this to the one who wakes up in the early morning or goes through the early evening. And as though this is just some other time, like all the other time, the attitude of the believer he must understand
that these are different times. These are bliss times these are actually times of worship, more specifically the worship of a thicket.
Now, and so this is why he is asking what should I say every morning and every evening.
And this sticker is to be said once in the morning, and once in the evening. And there are other authentic narrations that mentioned once before going to sleep.
It and this sticker is three times a day, maybe some Allahu alayhi wa sallam said, What is that I have that mug Jack and when you go to sleep, this addition can be found in Muslim Imam Muhammad and insulin Abu Dawood and it's an authentic addition. So now we know that this is to be said three times, so the might one is separate to the evening.
Also, my brothers and sisters in Islam this thicker,
you're going to realize that it is more important than eating and drinking and sleeping
Whoever says it and Allah azza wa jal accepts it from him. It's gonna be incredible, huge result you will find out at the end of the day, because if Allah azza wa jal accepted this type of diet from you, phenomenal, incredible a person would be saved from all harms and evils.
Now, observing this liquor, the structure of it, the very first half of this liquor is a complete praise of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And then the second half of this dhikr is a dua to Allah, most specifically seeking Allah's protection from four evils. And this, no doubt is the best way of making
what is the best way of making that you begin by the complete praise of Allah azza wa jal and then you make your right because when you praise Allah azza wa jal at the beginning, that charges the heart, enlightened is the heart. The heartbeat recognizes Allah, it acknowledges Allah's greatness, so that when you come to the DUA, you will meet your DUA with confidence because I just praised Allah, recognizing who is the Lord of all things, the Creator of all things, the one that knows the knowledge of the scene in the unseen. I know when I praise Allah, my heart awoken, it woke up, it acknowledged how huge and how great is Allah azza wa jal, nothing can stand in his way. Now when I
make the DUA, afterwards, I'm going to make it with confidence. No doubt he can protect me from such and such. And no doubt he can grant me such and such because this is who he is. That's the importance of praising Allah before making your DUA. And that's exactly the same structure that you'll find in solid Alfetta Solothurn feta has it dinner? A Serato loose the team guide us to the straight path, but he's doing the star Allah hug probably he did not set up a monster team. You're going to begin by praising Allah Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen Manuel Rahim Valley Kiyomi DP I can I will do it. Yeah, can Stein now that your heart is full of meaning of who Allah is and how great
he is all behind me that was enough to instill the greatness of Allah in your heart. Now when you come to dinner, you're with confidence, you'll say, guide me know, you're the Lord of the worlds of course he can guide you understand how the idea is so this is why this was the best of diet.
So now, let's look at this trial. This dhikr look at how powerful this praise of Allah azza wa jal is the first the beginning of this is Allah Houma fell a little similarity when
it starts with the word Allah, who's already a powerful stop. The word Allah itself is a name full of Baraka, Allah azza wa jal sister Bella like a small a bigger deal generally on a Koran, the name of your Lord is full of Baraka.
So they will, we haven't even started we just said Allah who met and a person has already attained a biker in his life, and a biker in his time for that day for that evening and for that night before he sleeps.
Also the word Allah, it renews the heat in your heart. Also the word Allah implies sincerity, as no one is saying, I am doing this deed for Allah, Allah no one else. Because if you're doing it for our victim, you take another name other than Allah. But the fact that you said Allah whom man
and meaning my deed my words, now that I'm saying, it's a worship, and I'm doing it for you alone, and no one else.
This is only in the word Allah.
You've now achieved a Baraka, you renewed your Tawheed and you've proven your sincerity.
Then the meme at the end, Allah who met that meme at the end,
we said that Allahumma means Oh Allah, you're calling Allah azza wa jal through all His Names, we've said that we've said it 100 times.
And so when you say Allah who met the meme, it now makes your Allahumma it converts it from just the general that good to a worship, which is a diet diet is a worship. So now you're calling up Allah's origin through all His Names, with the word Allahumma in and I'm sharing these with you so you can have in your mind what you're seeing as you're reading these of God. Then you move on Allah homophile little similar to you and you're calling out to Allah azza wa jal through all His Names with the word Allah whom then more specifically a you are calling out to his name felt a little similarity and the creator of the heavens and the earth
and felt is from the names of Allah azza wa jal as mentioned by Bobby will be happy when Imam Hassan Ernie or hammer home Elijah Mian and others and fell and fell to this from the names of Allah it
From a smell to Bahia, meaning there are names of Allah azza wa jal that are mentioned with an addition.
So when we say Allah and felpa we say, who fell to Samoa they will. He is the Creator of the heavens in the earth. This is a name that has an addition to it. Allah who fell through XML it went up. And this came many times in the Quran and Sunnah Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah azza wa jal said, poly Lahoma felt or smell it when Allah azza wa jal said Alhamdulillah he felt pretty similar to one of the year idol Mala
Hadith interview sallahu alayhi wa salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa ala mica, you know, in Salafi fell a little similar to when it comes more than this thicket. So that's about four times in the Quran twice in a hadith twice.
fell to a similar level of the Creator of the heavens in the earth. But filter is different to Holic. Holic means to create the Creator.
Felber is a step IF output is the first step of creation. Ferber is Allah on social creating from absolutely nothing. This is what Felton is the originator. He creates something from absolutely nothing. So far, but a similarity we're not.
We are calling to Allah azza wa jal is the One Who created the heavens and earth from zero, absolutely nothing existed. And he created them. Subhan Allah, huge meaning even after some of the Allahu Anhu he said, I never knew what felted means.
Until two Bedouins from five from Yemen, they were arguing about a well Who does it belong to? So one of them said NFL blue hat, meaning I'm the first to delegate. And then our best sort of the hola one. He knows what felted means in context of the eye. But as a word separate alone on its own, he didn't know how the Arabs would use it, until this incident happened before him.
So felt that he is the one who created something from its first initial stage from the very beginning, where there was absolutely nothing Subhan Allah.
So we asked him Allah azza wa jal by his name, fell Buddha somehow it will.
And so already these three words of a thicker Lahoma fell, but a similar way to and
from the beginning of a thicker, if this is going to teach you the absolute Greatness of Allah azza wa jal, he created the entire seven heavens and he created the Earth's
all of this and when you see felt that somehow it will or it humbles the servant.
It humbles you
to know that who am i Among all these heavens and earth of Allah azza wa jal created, even from the very very beginning of the thicket of the one who is really good at understanding what he's reading has become mumbled already. Now he's ready to submit to whatever Allah azza wa jal commends him. And that's just the beginning. The next part is human labor, your shahada, and Oh Allah, I asked you through your name is Lehmann Rabia Shahada.
Now we are calling to Allah through His knowledge by saying I live and live your shahada, the Knower of the unseen and the knower of the scene. Allah He is that which is unseen, that's what Allah is the unseen, what it means here, the unseen
in perspective of the creation, otherwise, there is nothing unseen to Allah. What is unseen to us is clear and seen by Allah azza wa jal, there is nothing unseen to Allah. so alive in this part of Africa, is from the perspective of the human, you're the one that seeing early human labor your shahada from your perspective, meaning here you're acknowledging of Allah, I am calling you through your name, the Knower of the unseen, because for me, there are many things that are unseen, but you're the Lord of all that. You have the knowledge you possess the knowledge of all this unseen that I cannot see. And also you possess the knowledge of what I can see in front of me right now.
And what I know and what I've seen already in my life,
will hide my brothers and sisters in Islam is three types, the unseen, unseen that is related to the past, like past events on all the stories of the prophets, the past nations, how Allah created the heavens in the earth, everything that happened in the past is all unseen. The second type of the unseen is related to the present now.
For example,
everything that is happening outside and around the entire universe.
Everything in what Allah azza wa jal created is all unseen for us yet unseen, and it is present. It's happening right now, behind this wall, we don't we don't have any knowledge of what's happening behind this wall. In fact, the brother right next to you have no knowledge about what he's thinking right now.
So how limited is the knowledge of the scene for you? Very limited.
So that's the other unseen, the unseen of the present. And that is the many things that you cannot see and observe them right now. And the last type of the unseen is the unseen of the future, the nations that are going to come the events that happen on earth, all of that is the unseen of the future, Allah azza wa jal possesses the knowledge of all of this.
We send our elimin HYb, your shahada,
the Knower of the unseen and the seen, why did we say the unseen first, before the scene? And we said earlier when he was shahada, we did not say early mashallah that they were like we said the Knower of the unseen first, then the scene. And that is because the knowledge of the Unseen is much, much, much more than the knowledge of the scene. How much can you see now? How much can you not see? That's much more. So as a result, I live my life first was Shahada. Allah social is the knower of all things.
And the greatest and most comprehensive area in the Quran that discusses Allah social acknowledges in Sultan Allah, Allah azza wa jal, he said while the homothetic are ripe, to Allah azza wa jal belongs the keys of the unseen layer, who no one knew them but him where Allah may feel that we will bow and he continuously knows everything that is on the bottle on earth. Well, Bob and everything in the water.
He knows what's happening on every part of the Earth. Even though man has never stepped foot on those parts of the earth. He knows. He knows everything that is happening in the depths of the deepest caves on earth. He knows everything that is happening on every mountaintop. He knows everything that is happening in the depth of the ocean in which even fish have not reached. This is the knowledge of Allah, why Allah will man feel badly when Bahama whatever is on earth, and in the oceans, then Allah azza wa jal said, describing his knowledge when it does go to Nuwakot in La Ilaha, and not a single leaf that falls from a tree, except that he knows it. He knows about it,
when it felt, how it felt, where it landed, its beginning how it was, how it ended, why it fell,
what type of wind moved it all of the knowledge that is needed to know how this leaf fell, he knows at all, what matters to to Nuwakot. In Illa, Allah Maha wala Bedingfield, chromatin
and even the seed that is in the earth buried he knows about you know, a seed, it contains 1000s of information. A seed has the information of what type of fruit would it be? What type of tree would it be? What type of fruit would it be? How many fruit is it going to produce in its entire lifecycle, what the temperature of this tree is going to be? How the leaves would look like, what type of what size would they grow? What color would they emit? All of these kinds of knowledge is in one little seed. Allah azza wa jal knows the knowledge in that seed and all the seeds that are not well that have been filled automatically.
Well out of the bin, well, ABC elaphiti kitab immobile and there is nothing, nothing living or dead except Allah azza wa jal has full record and knowledge of it.
This is incredible. Isn't when you say I Lehman wipe your shahada, you're calling Unto Allah social through his name, the one who knows the seen and the unseen.
This is now going to instill absolute Greatness of Allah has social within your heart. And the idea of knowledge being mentioned after the creation of the heavens in the earth. This is something that is very evident in the Quran. And in some that interview some Allahu alayhi wa sallam, this combination is always in the Quran,
the creator and the one who has knowledge, right? So you know, the beginning of the thicket FelPro, Somoto le monorepo shahada, the Creator of the heavens in the earth, the Knower of the unseen and the sea. Allah azza wa jal in the Quran he says, Well, who allele halacha a similar to a lot of the feces that am from Mr. Allah, Allah, Ya Allah. May Allah you fill out the minute. He spoke about him creating the heavens in the earth. And then he spoke about knowing what goes into this earth and what comes out of this earth.
insalata Allah, Allah azza wa jal he says hola hola the Halacha sub SML at the nominal of the Milan method surah number one, at the end he said one Allah ha ha probably couldn't be che in Amen.
He spoke about him creating the heavens in the earth and at the end of the ayah he spoke about his knowledge, encompassing all things, you will find these in abundance in the Quran.
Then, because of course, these two are related he created and you have knowledge of that which he created. Then we say all the coalition in one Malika
the Lord of all things are equally shaped the Lord of all things were Malika, who and the owner of all things now, we are calling to Allah azza wa jal through his lordship aroma via Lord of all things, the Lord of mankind of jinn, kind of angels, of animals, of living beings of non living beings, all of it not because cliche. And remember, we've said that or rob, rob, if he is the Lord of all things, what does that mean? It means five things, meaning he created offerings, he sustains and provides for all things. He causes their life, he causes their depth, and He decrees all their affairs and matters. This is what it means that he is all bad cliched. into how dependent Are you
upon Allah azza wa jal? How dependent Are you upon when you need him to live, and you will lead him tonight he cannot die alone. He's the one who caused the death and in every effort and matter in your life, you need it. And for your provision, you need him as well. And this is powerful. how humble has the servant become, from the beginning of the sticker created the heavens in the earth you compare yourself to that you're loving
the Knower of the unseen and the scene what do you what do you even the own reality of your knifes and what's going to happen in a minute you don't even know the will get always what's happening in this moment right now until you know but he knows the Unseen of the past, of the present and of the future, and of the present matters that you cannot see.
And now you're more humbled that cliche, the Lord of all things,
anything you created me and you provide for me, you cause my life you cause my death you decree all my affairs and marriage is saved become even more humble
Subhan Allah, then you say what Malika,
when Malika who the owner of all that which he created, and Malik comes from the word Malik Malik means the owner someone who owns and Malik comes from the word Malik Malik means the king, Allah is the king Allah He is the owner.
Malik is a hyperbolized form of Malik, Yanni Malik means owner. Malik means the total complete owner of all things gives more emphasis Malik female powder suit canine the Malik McDaniel, right. You got it. So, Malik is the one who owns but Malik that yeah, it's a hyperbolized version. It's emphasizing meaning as total owner ownership over all things. And you know, how Allah observations ownership works.
You see, we only only in our lives, we only possess partial ownership over what we have.
When you bought a car, who owned it before you, someone, you never own the completely.
You bought your shirt, you buy your sock, you buy a watch, you buy whatever it is that you possess of this world life. There was a stage in your life in where you had ownership of it. But before that you didn't learn it.
And you'll have it for a period of time, and then you will not own it.
All our ownership of what we own in life is always always partial, temporary ownership. We don't ever, ever have anything called permanent ownership. Nothing can innovate. They call permanent residents to certain things permanent you buy your house, your house permanent. The yeast for the believer doesn't exist. There's no such thing as permanent ownership over things temporarily.
The other thing with Malik is that when Allah owns
he controls in deals with that which he owns the way he wants. When you only cannot
you for example you buy a car, you can't drive it the way you want. You can park it where you want, there are rules that you have to follow if you don't get in trouble. There are consequences so that it's nowhere compared to the ownership of Allah subhanahu wa so my brothers and sisters in Islam are back
cliche, meaning the Lord of all things were Malika, who, meaning he has ownership of what he created. In other words, he deals with what he created the way he wants. So not by cliche. The Lord of all things were medico meaning he deals with what he owns the way he wants, powerful start to this diet.
And then the other thing is with ownership is that you can only own if Allah azza wa jal was to give permission for you to own something. Allah azza wa jal, he says pull in Lahoma Malik and Malik to de al Maliki mentorship. You're the one who gives ownership to whoever you want.
Subhan Allah there's nothing that you will completely own. This is very humbling at the end Allah azza wa jal, he says, in an unknown area full of boredom and Ali, however, Elaina you will, most definitely at the end of Allah azza wa jal says we will inherit the earth and everyone that is on it, and everyone will return to us meaning ALLAH inherits it, when you inherit something it belongs to. So everything belongs to Allah assertion. So, so far, felt or similar to an Irishman, labia shahada or buchu Alicia, you will Malika when you understand the meaning and your heart is present. These words as we said, will fill the heart with Eman and belief in Allah social and it'll enhance
enhance a person's reliance and Torquil upon Allah. Once the heart is full with these meanings, and truly acknowledges the greatness of Allah azza wa jal. Now the conclusion of this vicar of this
what's the conclusion of the first statement, I shall do Allah ilaha illa. And
I bear witness to the fact that there is no load worthy of worship but you now there is a word of Tawheed.
A shadow. A shadow comes from the word shaky that Shahida means what? To see, to witness something. And it's as though I can see with my own eyes, the truth of the fact that you are one Lord worthy of worship.
I see it, I see it in the heavens, the fact that I see this heaven created and there are no pillars to hold it.
No one is worthy of worship except Him Who Who other than Allah did that in order for us to worship him, right?
You will see the Oneness of Allah in everything that Allah azza wa jal created.
You don't have to go too far. You just have to look within yourself. Allah says Rafi unphysical a fella topsole. Teaching us we don't have to go too far within your own knifes there are enough signs to get you to get to the conclusion of there is no Lord worthy of worship, except Allah has Zoysia.
So, look at this beautiful order. The first part of this dhikr leads to a chateau a La ilaha illa. So you're with me on this.
The first part of this ticket was a Rubia. Allah, the Creator, the one who has the knowledge owner. And all of these matters. This is all ruble via
the lordship of Allah azza wa jal leads to Otto hadal Ohia which is the Tawheed of the Oneness of Allah subhanho wa taala.
And, and this is the purpose of life. Do you know what the purpose of life is? There are two things many people when it comes to answering the question of what is the purpose of life? They're quick to see on a helicopter Gina an insect Lily I will do
that I only created humankind and mankind to worship Me and Heather Walsh, what is the purpose these half the purpose? What's the first purpose of this life? Allah azza wa jal mentioned in surah, two Pollak, he said it is Allah azza wa jal Who created the heavens Allahu alayhi Hala cassava, Marathi created seven heavens while in and out of the hole. And he created the same number of Earth's seven Earths at 10 00 Am Rubina Han and He decrees and he sends down his can decree between them.
Lita, Allah, and Allah Allah coalition in Kaduna and Allah who got the help of the coalition in ailment, why don't we create what he created? What's the purpose of why Allah created what he created, so that you may know and recognize and acknowledge that Allah has solution is capable over all things and that his knowledge has encompassed all things? That's the first purpose of life so that you know who Allah is, as the first purpose of life so that you acknowledge the Allah so that you acknowledge he's the creator. He's the Lord of all things. Once you embrace this reality, and you know who he is, how are you going to know who he is with everything that he's created around you
and within you, that's how you'll know him. So the signs are very clear. They're right in front of your face. Once you've known
Who is now warmer Hello after General insane Delhi I will do now worship now you know who you're worshiping. Understand this is why in the Quran Allah would mentioned these two things together why not? buco Fabu I am Europe, meaning I'm your creator, the provider, the one who caused life cause death, decrease your matters, all those meanings, fallible, do not worship me. You see how this comes Nam SubhanAllah. For that's the idea of this ticket, the way the room will be leads to the hidden guru here. And I want you to think of something. Because even when we worship Allah, that in reality is being grateful to Allah, that that worship of us is being grateful to Allah give you an
example. You know, parents with their children, you as children,
respect your parents.
Your honor your parents, you serve your parents, you love them, you feel that you're indebted to them all your life, right? I asked you why you feel like you're grateful to your parent, I need to be grateful for the rest of my life. Why?
Because you recognize they are your parents. you've acknowledged the your parents, so now you spend a lifetime being grateful to them. For Allah belongs the highest of examples, when you recognize he is your lord of the cliche.
House now for life. You are grateful to him right?
That's the idea of any the idea of the purpose of life. So when you read up to here now a show to Allah ilaha illa and the now you're recognizing the purpose, Allah created all things around us so that I can know Him. Once I know him now I say La Ilaha lamp and I begin to worship Him alone. And no one else and this worship is me being grateful to him. Subhanahu wata Allah
La ilaha illa and this comes a lot in a lot of girl I said to a de Courcey it's the beginning Allahu La la la unhaggle to you with sort of the laws it's there are people who Allah Who Had Allah Who summit then we had another vicar that had let you know Hey, Lamar, see you that is still photos. Leila Hey llama. And now this one has a shadow Allah in their head. And I said to that the central message of the Afghan is what? It revolves around one thing which is to hate that's the whole point of the gallery is this. The oneness of Allah has solution
and an amen in the heart of a believer. It weighs it tears away as an obese Allahu alayhi wa sallam says in the Eman Allah Who visual fear How can a la Pathak that Eman wears he buys away? Just like clothing wears in tears. You buy something? You wear it for a few months, you will find it rip to discoloration here are the Euro thrown out. We even use the in the same manner. Absolutely same manner. The only difference is that he cannot see it. It's inside. If you see it, at least you know someone could have said brother Look, your event looks a little bit worn and torn away. Go and refresh it. But the fact that we cannot see it we're not able to do that. But we are aware of the
fact that it's wearing and tearing away just like the clothing. So then the use of Allahu alayhi wa sallam said for so long. And usually the Eman if you call OB come ask ALLAH that it renews this event asking Allah that he renews the Eman means do the things that renew Eman and one of these greatest matters that renews the Eman is being committed upon your account of a surah one Messiah. Now finally we are seeking Allah's protection from formatters how do we can shatter enough See, I mean surely che upon your shallaki on actor if Allah NFC so now is your Rahu Elon Musk,
oh Allah now because now you're in a position to make but now that you have humbled yourself, you say Oh Allah, I seek Your protection from the evil of myself and from the evil and the ship of the devil
and from committing wrong upon myself, or bringing wrong and harm upon another Muslim. Four things.
I need you to focus here and understand because this is where the actual bar is within this ticket.
There are four things. The first two things are the sources of all evil.
The second two things are the recipients the receivers of the evil. I'll explain it to let's first focus on the first two. Our will be coming shortly enough see
our our means I seek Your protection, at least the either
the reality of this word is to run away from that which you fee to the one who can protect you. This is the Easter Island. So you're running, you're rushing to Omaha Saajan
From evils and harms that are the source of all evil and harm that is your knifes and the Shabbat and you're running to Allah azza wa jal because he surely can protect you from those evils that's what our will means. Then we said became I seek protection with you. Deca meaning you because no one can truly protect but him
mean Shelby enough see from the evil of minus, now the word knifes is very difficult to translate, but we're going to say enough is the inner self.
It's not the soul, a soul is a row
and knifes is is a combination of the body and the soul. But will will will say the inner self the inner self of a person. Now the knifes has evils
This is separate to the evil of the shibaura this is separate to the worse worse of a che bomb.
I need you to focus with me about the knifes only in Allah azza wa jal he says in the Quran Allah Allah canal in Santa Ana Allah momento a Swiss will be enough so we know what evil whispering the neffs of a person gifts to that person.
Even the knifes separate from the Chopin has its own evil whispering
Allah azza wa jal in the Quran he says in enough ser la mela to be su enough's command evil commit enough's. insidey command evil. It calls to rebellion and transgression. Allah azza wa jal, he said when I've seen Warmaster wherever Allameh have Fujimura taqwa, Allah azza wa jal takes an oath by the knifes no here we're not talking anything about a Shabbat, Allah azza wa jal he speaks he takes an oath by enough's and then he says something about the knifes he says I inspired within Fuzhou Raha
the ability to rebel.
Allah inspired within the knifes the ability to rebel. Also he inspired in the knifes Taqwa the ability to worship Allah azza wa jal and do the good things.
So the knifes has good and bad in it.
They share your bomb, he partners with the bad part of your knifes and encourages it to do the bad. That's the shape arms involvement. So there is an evil whispering within you. Che upon takes advantage of it. He partners with that and encourages you to do it and goes off. That's the show your pawns role in all of this, but we're going to come to his shop and we're going to speak what is the evils of the ship when we're speaking of the evils of the knifes now, the use of Allahu alayhi wa sallam in a hadith he teaches us when making dua to say Allah how McKinney shall run FC. O Allah has saved me from the evils of my own inner self. When the diesel Allahu alayhi wa sallam in the
hotbar he would always say when are over bIllahi min. shrewdly and fusina we seek Your protection or Allah from the evils of our inner selves. So now, we've given you enough proof, to understand that the neffs within itself
has evils. I tell you something, our neffs has desires. This is how it was created.
The neffs desires dunya it desires well, it desires fame, it desires eating, drinking, sleeping, it desires clothing, right it desires to speak and it has sexual desires and urges as well. That's the knifes
the knifes I want you to think of it like an automatic. Allah said an untamed horse a wild horse.
You need to tame this horse. You need to control this horse you need to restrain the horse otherwise it'll start controlling you.
And this is the test of life. The test of life is for you not to obey your knifes
That's why Allah azza wa jal made the grand prize entering the paradise What did he say? What a meme and half a MACOM Obi Wan a Hanif son in Hawaii, the one who feed the standing before his Lord
and He prevented his knifes from following its desire
for indulgent Natta he'll most definitely the Paradise will be the final aboot point. This is the test of the test of life is for you to control enough's
shape onto an external source share your palm just encourages that backside. I've always we all have this bad side in us. Allah inspired even knifes the ability to do bad and rebelled and corrupt to the worst of the worst.
You see the most corrupt people on Earth today? This is just the Wild Hope
He's nuts now controls him. He didn't know how to restrain it and control it. And the most pious on Earth among us, he had the same inclinations as the other wild person, but he knew how to control and restraint and he's the one who's controlling his nerves, right? So the idea is, having desires is something normal, that we need to control that we need to steal them away from the house. We all have a desire to make wealth, we all have wealth, that something more put inside than us.
So we're allowed to earn wealth, go and seek your income and your wealth. But if you earn it through how long
now you've become a slave to this knifes and you're not controlling your knifes anymore. We all have a desire to eat, eat no problems. But if you start eating what's How long
until now you've stepped the boundary. And you now you now have fallen victim to some NetSim which is what you're asking a lot to protect you from. You've fallen into the you've become a victim of the evil of your knifes. We all get thirsty, and everyone who gets thirsty has this desire to quench his thirst. So do it no problems drink a cup of water. If you drink something haram
and today you fell victim to shut up NFC. You fallen victim to the evil of your knifes.
You got the ID we all have sexual urges, no problems. Use it in that which is permissible. Once you step out of what's permissible and go to impermissible territory shallow enough See, that's the evil of your knifes. So now chama you've got a good idea of what enough is, this is your knifes within you. It has these desires and urges. Having desires is not a bad thing. This is what Allah created the NEF, Swift Aslan, Allah azza wa jal created the desire within us for a purpose for wisdom. We meet the desire to live imaginable credit with no desire, either desire food and desire drink, I will not have any sexual desires as a result. There's no children, Mala well the lifeline
that's the wisdom for why Allah created a desire and all the sins that mankind do are from behind all these desires that we have.
So there are desires we have
and there are only a couple of steps you're allowed to step within them after that it's no go zone. It's a red zone don't go if you step that boundary, that shallow neffs now you've gone into territory that you should not be in. And as a result, a person is listening to his knifes and he's destroying himself. That's the evil of the knifes.
That's why Allah azza wa jal he says of our ATM and into the ILA who where Allah condemns, he see he says Don't you see? Haven't you seen the person who has taken his knifes his desire as he is Lord? These are people that have went out of the boundary and committed the Hubble
they are now asleep to the enough's there enough sir told them do this, do that and they followed it has nothing to a shape on perhaps maybe encourage them to do that. But he obeyed his knifes.
Now.
And this is exactly what it means to be a Muslim. What does it mean to be a Muslim? It means to submit to be a Muslim, it means for you to know that there is a desire within me for eating. So I can eat, eat, eat, eat, there are certain things that are halal. And there are many things that are haram I need to keep away from
that's what a Muslim is a Muslim is to say I will only go into the circle. And I will not go outside of it. Because outside of it is a no go zone, not allowed to leave it.
I have a desert, I have a sexual urge. This is the circle that I'm supposed to be anywhere outside. I've become a slave to my own self.
This is a Muslim, he submits he stays in that square in that box in that circle that Allah sojourn has made for him. Now could be anything a person could have a desire for fame. There's a limit for it in Islam. Beyond that becomes
arrogance and so on, then that is you becoming a slave for your own desire.
And this is why you need Subhanallah you find that the religion of the West, this thing they call liberalism, liberals, you know what liberal is means to be free, free, boyfriend, girlfriend, drink whatever like Zina homosexuality, do it, do whatever you want. There is no accountability and no one's on top of you just do what you like. They think it's liberalism. They think it's freedom. I saw that is being as
sleeve to your own knifes.
But if you abate Allah Azza vision, then you have become a slave of Allah. That's the true freedom. Because Allah knows what's good for you. You follow that? You'll live a healthy life here, and a good life in the bizarre and even wonderful life. When you are before Allah azza wa jal on the Day of Judgment, that's the true freedom. So there is no such thing, as they call it in the West liberalism. The end of the day, it's him a baby, he's knifes. Because these ideas and inclinations of haram matters don't come out of nowhere. Allah put them inside of you. The test was are you going to listen to them? Are you were you going to obey your knifes when it calls you to evil? Or were you
going to disobey it? And put it down and tame it, control it and restrict it and restrain it?
That's why in the beast, Allahu alayhi wa sallam said three things that destroy a person. One of them he mentioned, how one more power, our
desire that is followed. See, the desire in and of itself is abandoned. Where does it become bad when you follow the bad desire? That's when it becomes bad. Now
so that's the thing. At the very beginning, you're asking Allah azza wa jal to protect you from the evil of your knifes and this is why we see jihad to knifes is the highest form of jihad.
Fighting your knifes is even more important than fighting your enemy. Sometimes this goes around and people don't understand. And so they say hey, look at these people. They say she had enough's is preferred over she held on over fighting the enemy. And they mock this content, when that's the reality. I'll give you an example.
Imagine and for those people that are convinced that fighting the enemy is more important than fighting enough's by, let's say, someone went out to fight the enemy with a group of Muslims. Then the enemy saw him, said to him, brother, we'll give you a million dollars, goes to the home.
If he hasn't fought his knifes, what happens?
He becomes deceived. He takes the offer. He goes on.
He comes to the battlefield they say Brother, we'll give you the best of our woman. But go home and rest. Don't join the Muslims in fighting us. If he hasn't conquered his knifes and fought his knifes initially sold out, we lose it.
You now understand why Jad enough's is preferred. And it is in the first line before the fighting of the enemy. Imagine someone
wanted to fight the enemy. So then he's knifes said team, go home rest relax. Why would you put yourself in a situation you will be almost nine Why don't you risk your life for and then he followed his knifes and he sat at home.
And then the first jihad in life is you head on knifes. That's the first jihad in life once that could be done than any other form of jihad could be done. That's how we understand this matter. So ask Allah azza wa jal to protect us from the shadow the evil of our knifes
Subhan Allah my brothers and sisters in Islam, if you are protected from the evil of your laughs, you're safe.
At that moment you become a true Muslim and you're on your way to the paradise. As we said Allah said when I had enough sand in our final agenda that he had not were the one who prevented his knifes from following its desire. The Paradise is a boat. Then we see when we shatter the share Barney where he Ricky is another generation we're shallaki Let's look at what Schicchi and this is the second source of evil so you've understood the first source of evil is what the knifes itself the second source of evil is the shape on himself. This is an enemy, huge enemy for mankind, an enemy that we cannot see and he can see us. What's the shadow of the devil? What's the shadow of the
shape on number one. He whispers to you and encourages you to be the evil designer that's in your knifes. That's what he does. That's his shop.
Something else of His shop is that he decorates the sin. That's the evil of the SharePoint he decorates like how he did to Adam Alayhis Salam.
When he said when Allah had said to Adam, this is a forbidden tree don't come nearer than it should have been called it should Jonathan hold the tree of eternity. Look at how he decreed that he said to him, if you eat from this tree, you and your wife would live in the Paradise forever. Or both of you will be transformed and you'll become angels. The corner Mullah Kane, how deceiving is that he decorated a shameless evil sin
He decorated. And he continues to do this until this very day. We've given hundreds of examples always about this matter. You know, look at any sin on earth today, and how it's named and how it's called alcohol and how they call it spirits. Right?
Act like as the Spirit will be uplifted if you drink alcohol,
even
assisted suicide now that it has passed and it's become legal across many states of the country, assisted suicide, voluntary suicide, they comment, you go in, you don't like to live, you sign a paper and the Off you go.
Suicide, it's a heavy word. So they've changed it. It's called, what is it called? voluntary euthanasia.
Now, I know when I saw this word, it there's got to be something behind this because just It doesn't sound like as bad as suicide. So I looked at euthanasia. It comes from a Greek word from the 17th century. It comes from the word EU, handles. Eu means, well, good. Fellows means killing.
So euthanasia means good killing.
A well death. See how it's got this good meaning or not. And then the other nine they give it merciful. Mercy killing, mercy killing.
The idea is the scene is decorated at the NABI sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said at the end of time you Simona who betrayed is me, they'll give alcohol a name other than its name, the Shabbat does, and he has not decades of experience, not centuries of experience. He has millennia of experience 1000s And 1000s yeas on Earth, deceiving the people in this way by degrading the sea. And this is why it's very important to seek knowledge of what to avoid. Because if you don't seek knowledge of what's haram and what to avoid, you will fall with the millions of people that fall into sin based on the fact that it was decorated, I couldn't point out, it was a sin, I couldn't figure it out.
So that's one of his evils, he decorates the sin, another evil, he causes the human being to have terrifying nightmares. Dreams, they come from the shape on the terrifying nightmares, another evil of uses that he possesses the inside the human being he goes into his body, for these are the evils of a shape on where she will key. So we're asking Allah, we seek Your protection from the evil of the shape on which I told you how and more specifically from his worst evils is his call to shift. So we said General shutter Shabbat, then we specified and keep us even more protected from his call to ship. A ship is associate others with Allah azza wa jal in matters that are only specific to
Allah has solution.
Which should can happen in belief in speech and in actions. In belief. If you believe that other than Allah can harm you and benefit you should come out of his lab. It can happen in speech, if you swore by other than Allah azza wa jal minor ship still in Islam, but you need to say Leila and Allah afterwards to clear it up. Shit can happen in actions. If you meatsuit and you bow to other than Allah schicke big ship gone out of Islam. And this is what the shebang calls to.
And then the other narration was Shara key.
Shahrukh
is the singular, it's the plural. The singular is Chaka Chaka
will shallaki A Shahrukh of the nets and the traps that are used to capture birds and fish. That's exactly what shark means. So when we say Oh Allah, we seek Your protection from the evils of the SharePort and his shallaki Meaning we're seeking your protection from his nets and his traps that he uses to capture mankind and real them interesting. That's exactly what he does. This is why imam of Nakai, Mohamed salah, he wrote a book called the Lhasa to left fi
mean, hospital FM and Messiah ship Messiah, the Shabbat. That's what he called it. He called the author to laugh at saving, saving the distressed person against the traps of the shape on shape on his massage. He sets them out. He traps that people fall in the trap, he reels them in slowly, slowly, right whether it was Yanni fit and related to the desires of a person or fitness sugarwod related to doubt and so on. Now, Allah azza wa jal, he said wanting your TV or football to show up on the one who follows the footsteps. Footsteps that the traps of the
To show your bond for a new model will fascia will look or will eventually shape on would lead him and command him into shamelessness and evil acts. Now, we'll have nothing Abraham Allah mentioned the traps of a Sherpa and many traps them into the ship could be major sins minor sins. Some of these traps include that he moves you from more rewarding deeds to less rewarding deeds, he might have two options, one is more rewarding than the other. Why stay upon will still be on top of you even in that
and he will try to get you to do a deed that is less in its reward than another.
So always on top, something you need to be very careful of. And this is why it is so powerful. If Allah azza wa jal was to accept this diet from you imagine you're safe from the evil of your knifes and the evil of the shape 103 On the way to paralyze.
Finally, last part of the diet, one activity for an NFC Swan Osho in a Muslim and he asked Allah azza wa jal to save you from bringing harm to yourself or to other Muslims. I told you the first two were the sources of all evil. All evil comes from the evil of the knifes and the Sherpa. These two things are the receivers of evil. They are the recipients of evil. And that is number one attorney for an NFC so protect me from bringing harm on myself.
I tell you something, when does a person bring harm to himself when when he does his knifes if you obey do knifes and you did that which is haram. Now you have yourself you've exposed yourself to sin, to the punishment of Allah to the anger of Allah. And you've exposed yourself to the other worldly harms that sin sins bring upon a person such as if a person drank alcohol becomes drunk, intoxicated, and that is harmful for him in this world their life. He will lose his balance he might drive you might die in an accident. Yeah, and he you can you bring harm to yourself when you do want when you follow it and obey the law knifes in its sin and its desire. When x 35 Are the NFC Su and
other things, for example, people might smoke as a result is smoking and he's vaping. And whatever it is,
caused him lung cancer caused in these different other cancers. You brought the harm upon yourself when you had done that, which is how some people might read, you know,
read or watch or listen to podcasts that discuss alcohol.
And then as a result, he says I have this doubt in Islam in my mind, it's not going away until you brought the harm upon yourself. This is what what mokhtari for Allah and FC Su. So you're asking Allah azza wa jal to protect you from the evil of your knifes. And then in this one, you're asking Allah to protect you from the harms that may are brought to you as a result of you following the huddle. And he asked Allah to protect you from the consequence of deceit. And that is, as we said, well, the consequences and punishments and so on.
Now, and then the final part is your boy who is Muslim, and Oh Allah, protect me
from bringing harm on to other Muslims. That's the second receiver of evil. Other Muslims. I tell you, this is very common among us today. For example, someone becomes a member of a gang becomes a gangsta.
Then he goes on to recruit others. In this case, what did he do? He brought harm on others. Someone possesses drugs. Then he sells them to a Muslim.
In this case, now he brought the harm to another Muslim.
People murder each other. But he takes someone with him for the ride. drop him off drive me off motivators they do. He brought harm to another Muslim
people and others to WhatsApp groups, just so that they can back bite or talk about someone. Why did you bring him
to do the how long for yourself? Why are you dragging an animal supplemented?
Either in this final part of a diet you're asking Allah azza wa jal to save you from bringing harm to other Muslims? Because the believers should be labeled they know how to combat their belly or he may have said right, suppose the love for your brother What do you love first self to believers when they see each other they sit down while they could not Allah they wish peacefully each other, not sins and rebellion and transgression for each other. It'll select when you pray you're seeing
a Salam Alena, while I there delay Hassan Hey,
you see me Allah's peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves. They are these people that are praying around you. When you conclude your Salat, and you say Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah.
Who's the saran for the Lord Emma hammer home Allah, they see some of the opinions mentioned that this Salam is for the brother that is on your left and on the right. That's the relationship between Muslims
not bringing harm to others. For this, we need to be very careful. Yanni. If a person ate garlic, or onion, he's told not to come to the UK, you have an excuse to pray at home. Imagine that. Imagine the opinion that says it's worship to pray in congregation. They are telling you, if you ate garlic, you have a concession to pray at home even if you can hear the event and the solid blasting in your house. Why?
Just so that you do not harm your Muslim brother, with a smell.
Even relationships between Muslims are very sensitive. So this dua is perfect for every morning not only to say it but to think about it and then to work and act upon it.
No one ever ever has to even you're not even allowed to intend to bring harm upon a Muslim Imagine then you bring upon him harms Pamela that is a beautiful, comprehensive at the end it's asking Allah to save you from to evil sources, and to receivers of this evil. We ask Allah azza wa jal to protect us from all evil. We ask him subhanho wa Taala to instill within us the love for one another. We asked him Subhanahu wa Taala that he forgive our sins and our shortcomings. We asked him Subhanahu wa Taala to bestow upon us His mercy, His forgiveness, to admittance into the highest levels of the paradise man unbeknownst to the Peano shahada, it was solid him ask Allah azza wa jal to be pleased
with us and we asked him Subhanahu wa Taala to accept from us all Allahu Allah. Also Allahu wa Salam o Velika Allah you know, Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Germaine
