Allah subhanho wa Taala and may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his servant and final
messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as follows my dear respected brothers in Islam, in
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:31
			sha Allah Allah in today's brief hoba what I'd like to share with you is a few Ayad from Sol
autoconf. And these Ayad Allah subhanho wa Taala concludes with them the first story in solothurn
curve, which is the story of the people of the cave. And of course, you know, those that have read
solotica have today and it's still fresh on their tongue and on their mind. And those insha Allah
tala that intend to recited after solitary Juma, you know that sorbitol calf is made up of four
stories, the entire soul. And so the first story of them is the story of the people of the cave. And
this story is about a few boys that go through a trial in the dean. And you know, of course, the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:14
			trial being tested in your dean is one of the greatest trials that one could ever face in his life.
This is why their story was mentioned the first story in solitary, as opposed to the rest of the
stories and their story. The name agave, the surah. It's named Saul at the curve, as opposed to it
being called any other anything other other than that, Allah subhanho wa Taala calls with fula
because this story was the greatest story in terms of what one can one person can face in his life
of fitting and fitting over Dean, imagine being tested in your dean. And then you pass the people
have been the people of the gave, they were tested in the dean, they pass the exam. Allah subhanho
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:56
			wa Taala at the end of the story tells us how they remain firm and how they remain committed and
steadfast upon the dean until they died until they met Allah subhanahu wa Tada. This is what we want
to establish. And this is what we want to answer. The question is, how does one remain steadfast and
firm upon the deen of Allah subhanho wa Taala when he's been rigorously tested in his Deen, when
he's been roughly tested in his Deen and his commitment to his term, for let's understand, firstly,
my brothers in his time, that the people of the key of the existed in a time, this was the time
after he said before Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam. They came about in a time where there
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:34
			was no prophets. There were no messengers, there were no schools, there were no Islamic teachers.
There were no Islamic books, no Islamic websites, there were no Islamic colleges. And there were no
libraries, no massages, nothing at all got to do with the deen. And yet they still remain firm upon
the AV in the dark, ask yourself the question, what would happen to you and I, if we came in a time
where all the muscles should shut down, and all these websites shut down, and all the massage had
closed down, and the Islamic colleges closed down. And these funny books got burned, what will
happen to you and I so that he can understand why this story was a great story. Because even though
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:59
			this is a time that he went by, they will remain confirmed and they remain committed upon the idea.
There is if one element and one aspect of the deal was targeted, let's say a massive closed down a
must. It wasn't given a license to go ahead and something of the Dean was spoken about. You find
people automatically they shake and they panic and an attack comes through to them and the job is
off and the beat comes off.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:43
			And the name is changed to some other thing your knees get away from the Islamic identity. We need
to understand these people went through a rough time. They were tested rigorously in the deen. They
remained firm and they remained committed. What does Allah subhanho wa Taala teach us of their story
at the end of the story, in terms of what they held on that Allah subhanho wa Taala gifted them with
the gift of steadfastness until they died. Their story is a long story. And after the story, Allah
subhanho wa Taala he mentions and this year my brothers in Islam is for everyone that says how do I
remain firm upon the deen? Everyone that feeds his commitment upon the deen, everyone that is
		
00:05:43 --> 00:06:16
			complaining for everyone that is complaining. And for everyone that is saying, How can I stay on the
path until I reach Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah social gives us the prescription in 327 28 and 29.
These are the three they include three prescriptions, the one who carries it holds on to these three
elements that Allah subhanho wa Taala will teach us before the law, no matter what test is put in in
terms of his deem the law he will remain upon
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:30
			until he meets Allah subhanho wa Taala let's see how Allah subhanho wa Taala begins the first 127
after the story, he says whenever you figure themes and themes, he knows their duties
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			level
		
00:06:34 --> 00:07:19
			of the absolutely he was mere man the human don't even worry whether you should poofy hug me. That's
the end of the story. Number one, what Luma Oh, here la coming kita big level the de Colima t
turgidum into dude he will. That's number one. What Luma Oh, here he like, recite what was revealed
unto you from the word of Allah subhanho wa Taala even the first prescription, the first medication
that you find on the prescription is to hold on to the book of Allah and continuously recited what
to do. The word flow doesn't just mean to read the book, what do means to read and follow the
meanings of the IR that's a dilemma. What to Allah subhana wa tada says, read the book into my
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			brother and he said, Why are we reading Allah subhanho wa Taala this book,
		
00:07:24 --> 00:08:06
			he said, remain 23 is going up and down, bringing down I have the idea so that you and I can have a
book at the end of the day so we can read and so easily we turn away from the book of Allah subhanho
wa Taala and we don't give it that honored and valuable time in our day to read some part of it.
Yeah, and if we found some some free time we read maybe from others to come we'll try to read it
once. What is this attitude with the book of Allah? Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us that the first
thing you need to do to hold on if you are tested in your dm what will give you guarantee that you
will remain upon your dm is that you do one thing firstly
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:11
			get rid of a lot of social says
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:18
			this Malik Davina, Yanni This is implying greatness of what was given to you which is the book what
Luma
		
00:08:20 --> 00:09:02
			what was given to you later, Sharif, Your Honor, and your dignity is with the book of Allah subhanho
wa Taala The closer you want to the book of Allah, the more honor you are given. And the further
away you are from the deen from the Quran and from the word of Allah, the more you become
humiliated, and the easier the enemy of Allah subhanho wa Taala gets you and removes your deed. What
llama oh here, la coming kitabi la Big Brothers in Islam. Allah subhanho wa Taala he says with Luma
la coming kita the hot big, what was revealed to you from the book of your Lord. He did not say what
well here they come in Quito Villa min. Kita Robic your Lord Why? Because he's your Lord. He knows
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:44
			your problems. He knows your sufferings. He knows what you need. And as long as you read his book,
you always remain on that path. Allah subhanho wa Taala he says after that lamb over de Cali Mati.
There is nothing that will exchange the words of Allah. One of the meanings of this is that the
rules of Allah subhanho wa Taala never change. This has always been the rule of Allah, that any
nation, any person that existed in any time, if he was to hold on to the book of Allah, He is
guaranteed commitment on his Islam and on his team. This is a rule left over Dinelli, Kelly Murthy.
And this is why Allah subhanho wa Taala would seem to slow him when they were about to lose their
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:46
			Deen Allah social would say to those who
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			hold on to this book that we were given that was given to you hold on to it firmly and strongly
Subhana Allah and anyone that abandoned the book of Allah always fell into those traps of us
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			to ponder
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:42
			Allah subhanho wa Taala he says about bunnies. When they were given the book and they slowly drifted
away from the Quran, they slowly drifted away from the book that was given to them. Allah subhanho
wa Taala he said about them, never levina autoline kita kita Allah He will avoid him getting home
lay on the moon, when they threw the book behind what happened, whatever to share, they immediately
followed the path of a shavon First there's only two paths in life. Either you walk on the path of
Allah or the if you don't do that. The other path that you have is going to be the path of a shoe
barn. And that's exactly what happened to them. So the first medicine, the first thing that pun is
		
00:10:42 --> 00:11:14
			supposed to hold on to so he can guarantee v if you lay down a commitment for himself is what Luma
who here in a coming kitabi Robic level the delay Kelly Murthy he wasn't he? I mean, dude, he will.
My brothers in his time on our bond is about to come. What is your plans with the plan? When we
commence lavonne start from now hold on to something from the plan. Allah subhanho wa Taala he says
about those little muscle Allahu alayhi wa sallam. It was full of them for Han that a group of the
wish he couldn't they came to him. And they said to him, Well, Farley levina Guevara.
		
00:11:18 --> 00:12:01
			He's the disbelievers they came to the fula so I said them and they said to him, how come the Quran
wasn't given to you as a whole? You know the prophets before nobody saw Salaam when it was been
revealed to them. The whole book is to come down. The Quran was the only book that came down over 23
years. So they said How come the Quran didn't come down on you as one? Why? For Allah subhanahu wa
tada answers and he says, because elec linworth are better behaved. The only reason it came down bit
by bit so that we keep your heart steadfast and firm upon the deen of Allah. And Allah took from
that, that if one was to have the same relationship with the Quran, in the same manner as you bleed
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:30
			out, he said I would come down with these dilla that's the reason for his commitment, and he should
read would come down every day of 23 years. In other words in the vessel, Allahu alayhi wa sallam
would recite the Quran every single day. So if one was to read it in the same manner, it was
revealed than being the last This is a solution for him. And it is the first solution that Allah
subhanaw taala speaks about, and the people of the cave. That's how exactly the word, Allah subhanho
wa Taala when he mentions about them, he says, I'm hasip the under
		
00:12:33 --> 00:13:16
			my brothers in his time, was the book that they had, that had some of the DNA on it. They had
engraved the al Qaeda in a rock, you know, stone, and they used to read from that was like
equivalent to what we have of the Quran, and they used to hold on to it. And this is how Allah
subhanaw taala gave them steadfastness. That's number 127. Now, what's the second solution? Allah
subhanho wa Taala he says after this was fair enough, second Allah venia de Lune or baba and below
her that he will achieve second solution. A lot of social he says, and remain patient with those who
worship and call them to their Lord, day and night. In other words, the second solution is good
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:56
			companionship, that for you find for yourself good companion, you ship and you hold on to it. Allah
Subhana who at the Hydra, he says was Bill, be patient with such people by does He say Be patient?
And essentially, it's going to be difficult to keep yourself in good companionship and define for
yourself a good circle of brothers and to remain with them it's going to be difficult. So a lot of
sources begins by saying was there enough second knifes? Like it's difficult on the knifes so he
says force that knifes and allow it to remain patient with good companionship. No good companionship
is what is going to keep you going ahead tough and strong. Until we meet Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:37
			good companionship. And you know, let's understand what's the you know how to love. people that
lived a misguided life before Islam. Before they were committed before they were guided. They lived
a misguided life when they used to be in a misguided life. They used to enjoy the company of bad
friends. They used to enjoy luxury cars. They used to enjoy you know, eating out every day cinemas
watching together. Yeah, the unfair said together. But then when Allah subhanho wa Taala gave them
guidance, and they came into Deen and they found brothers in the masjid. What happened? Obviously,
the Brotherhood in the masjid didn't have that lifestyle like their old friends. So the people in
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:59
			the masjid had a simple, easy life. Had a humble life, eating cheap, you know, driving cheap cars,
no jokes, there were no movies. There's nothing to go out there firmly upon the idea and reading and
attending lessons. What happens to a person at a time when he's got this good companionship to
compare with his own companionship? What happens? He
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:38
			If he wants to go back to his old way, Allah Subhana Allah in this moment, he says was with Nuff
said, with a patient. It's not going to be easy enough second man levina Ronaldo, we need to
understand my brothers in Islam. When we have good companions in our friend, why do we stay with
them? What's the purpose? Why do we love them? It's very easy to understand that the only friends of
this worldly life and friends that are corrupt and old and bad friends, you stay with them because
of the dunya obviously, but in Islam you need to understand and the recent Mullah while he was
telling me he says, Man Ah, monopoly lay he will mentally lay
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:40
			above of Allah.
		
00:15:41 --> 00:16:25
			Allah He forgot the stack manner in and you remain with good companionship because you love them not
for all the reasons you love them for Allah subhanho wa Taala sake, and Allah Subhana Allah
themselves that the one who loves for the sake of Allah, he has completed his Eon. In other words,
when you remain patient with good companionship, this increases your email for Allah subhanho wa
Taala teaches us that this is the second solution to remain firm and steadfast upon your team. In
times where your team is being tested was the second Latina, yet the room in our bedroom, yet the
only two present tense In other words, they continually worship the Lord. This is what Brotherhood
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:48
			is supposed to be doing. What's the use of brotherhood if they don't worship Allah? subhanho wa
Taala together? Yeah, they're all above and below her dad in the morning when she in the afternoon.
Why you didn't do noise Oh, sincerely for his sake. They want to stay seek His pleasure subhana wa
tada that Allah subhanho wa Taala warns in the recent Allahu Allah and he says steam. What do I
		
00:16:49 --> 00:17:03
			wanna or gone home? Don't you dare turn your eyes away from them, let alone turn your whole body and
run away from them. Don't you dare turn your eyes away from good brothers. Good companionship is
what is going to get you to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:20
			if you looked at to the case of harville, gaff, Danny let's just understand what's with Neff second
na with with them, you need to be with them all the time. Some people that have the impression that
being with good companionship is only
		
00:17:21 --> 00:18:01
			only in their aid only when they see them in the masjid wrong. Allah azza wa jal says Ma and the
reason number one he was seldom when he was described, and his companions relationship was described
with him. Allah subhanho wa Taala says Muhammad Rasul Allah will Lavina ma who, and you know, the
companions, their relationship with him? wherever he went, they were always with him. That's what
good companionship is. So it's not only in the masjid where they're either not everywhere. Look at
the people of the cave, their relationship. They slept in the cave together, they ate together, they
went to prison together, they ran away together, they gave Dawa together and they died together.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:10
			Everything was done together. religious aspect and all the aspects for this is real companionship.
What was the knapsack, Mr. levina
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:14
			beloved Daddy, well how she, you know, she who went to
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:34
			the cleaner. First one was reading the second one was being with good companionship. In that same
area. Allah subhanho wa Taala warned in the vsam Allahu alayhi wa sallam from bad companionship
listen to how it comes in the air. He says well, topia, do not they and do not follow men
		
00:18:35 --> 00:18:43
			who want the cleaner, the one who we made his heart heedless in terms of engineering concern with
our AI, whatever haha.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:50
			And when you become heedless, and you turn away from the book of Allah, the only result is
		
00:18:51 --> 00:19:26
			he follows his desire, he follows his whims, what kind of rules and his affairs were destroyed and
ruined at the end. But look at the example he is also proud Allah. When Allah subhanho wa Taala
spoke about good companionship. He spoke about it in the plural was well enough. Second, man levina
Runa. That's a plural. In other words, find for yourself a group of good believers. When Allah
subhanho wa Taala warned and forbid us from that companionship. He mentioned that in the singular
sense. He said, Well, none of the fun
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:28
			and the cleaner.
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:59
			Who can I undo? A lot of social when he warned us of bad companionship, it came in the singular Why?
You know why? Let no one bad friend is enough to destroy you. One bad friend you work with is enough
to destroy your entire deal and save you. Yeah. And he said you're on the wrong path all together
for Allah subhanho wa Taala highlight highlights in the language. That's the second solution that
Allah subhanho wa Taala gives us now final solution that allows social gives him this is the last of
the 29
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:27
			close with Hannah Montana he says what Paul has become and see the truth from your Lord. This third
means engage in a dour Illa call to Allah subhanho wa Taala that's the solution. Number one, read
the Quran. Number two, stay with good companionship. And number three, engage in a tower of love.
This is what made us Hello Medina Allah subhanho wa Taala he says, putting
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:54
			the nurse that you're the best of nations that was ever brought out on the face of this earth. Why?
Luna Villa Ruth, what then hold on is what took me Luna Villa because you enjoying the good and you
forbid the evil and you believe in Allah three things which one is the most important of the three
that you believe in? Allah is the most important of the three. So why was it mentioned that then?
Allah azza wa jal he says
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:20
			what an Hunan in mooncup What took me Luna villa. Why? Because true he man in a love will not be
achieved until you're enjoying the good and if even the evil. So he began by saying, enjoying the
good for the day evil as a result to me, Luna Villa would be guaranteed in your life for Allah
subhanho wa Taala. He mentions he mentions as well and I'm moving in our roof Yeah, but
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:22
			what motivated
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:33
			and the prophets they will only send to the people so that they can call the people to the deen of
Allah for this is this is the prescription. This is if you were to hold on to this.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:22:05
			You will find yourself confirm and you'll find yourself steadfast upon the deen of Allah subhanho wa
Taala was humble enough as we said, they were people that read their book, they hang out with each
other in all aspects of life. And they also engage in a dour Yani from the many words they spoke in
their life. Allah Subhana who chooses to tell us from their words, what they spoke of calling to
Allah when they were standing before they King being trialed in their journey in their case, when
they said that a Buddha
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:09
			living room in Dhoni
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:37
			even sharper, this, the one after it was their way in how they call to Allah subhana wa tada in
front of the king and in front of all the people, Allah social choose to tell us these words more
than anything of a spoke in their life, because this was the tower, Allah Subhana Allah, Josie
Allahu Allah. He brings an absolute beautiful illustration to this. He said the believer in the time
of Fitton,
		
00:22:38 --> 00:23:01
			if he wants to remain steadfast on his Deen, he does these three things. And he illustrated it. He
said it is a man that holds the land in one hand, and he holds his brother's hand in the other hand,
and they walk together calling to Allah subhanahu wa Tada. That's the package that will keep you
firm and steadfast and committed upon your deal. Until you meet Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:23:02 --> 00:23:45
			Tonight, reread this, once again, saw that the curve and look into these details that Allah subhanho
wa Taala teaches you, you and I, every single Friday, every Friday, we're supposed to read this. And
every Friday we're reminded of the story and the solution that have what these boys had. Look how
honored they were. Look how of an example they were that olara sosial made they mentioned in the
Quran, that would remain until the day of judgment. We read it and we continuously see guidance and
wisdom and lessons and benefit from it. And it wasn't a it was guidance for for the loss of a loved
one. Before it was guidance for me and you. This is what Allah subhanho wa Taala teaches. This is
		
00:23:45 --> 00:24:11
			how one remains firm, committed and steadfast upon his Deen in times of fitna and vows colossal
Hannah Montana, that He bestows His mercy upon us and we ask him subhanho wa Taala to grant us good
companionship in this world they live and we ask him subhanho wa Taala to admit us and then in the
paradise on the day of judgment in the Holy of elico called the rally, a call to call the head on
