AI: Summary ©

The use of hesitation and rejecting the truth is key drivers in misguided behavior. Kibr, a desire to take the wrong path, is used to signal political presentations and avoid failure. The use of the phrase "the spirit of man" is used to signal the need to be prepared for anything, including death. The speaker emphasizes the importance of learning to be oppressed and seeking forgiveness.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:00
			Khalil.
		
00:00:00 --> 00:00:01
			You find that
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			the majority of those who are intellectual
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			and who are the brainiacs of our people
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			of Bani Adam,
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12
			they weren't able to understand this. They erred
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			in these situations
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			except
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16
			a few are of the minority
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:18
			of the people.
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			And I mentioned earlier, brothers and sisters, sometimes
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			you find an intellectual,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			an intelligent person. He's articulate.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			He's an academic.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			You look at his grades, he's maybe graduated
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			from Oxford or Cambridge or one of the
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			most top university you find in the country.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			But basic
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			things,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			he doesn't understand.
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			And there's reasons why. And we should take
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			heed from this.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			If you look into the Quran, you will
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			find these reasons.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:49
			From the reason as to why a person
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			might become misguided
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			and he's prevented guidance, is these 10 things
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54
			I'm going to mention.
		
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00
			Following your desires.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			Being enslaved to your Hawa.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06
			Hawa Muttaba is as the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			wa Salam mentioned on the hadith, Salazatulmulmulikat.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			Three things
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			is going to lead a person to destruction.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			One of the things that was mentioned Hawa
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			Muttaba.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			Being enslaved to your desires.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			To an extent sometimes you find that it
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			becomes a person's Ilah.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			It becomes his God.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			You know how we have a Sharia.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28
			Everything that Allah mentions,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			he tells us to stand, we stand. He
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32
			tells us to sit, we sit down.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			We turn left, he tells us to turn
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			left, we turn left.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			We jump, we jump.
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:39
			And so on and so forth. We have
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:39
			a Sharia,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:42
			where we are like an animal.
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			Anything that Allah Subhanahu tells us to do.
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47
			How the shepherd treats his animals, that's how
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			we are. The mumin.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:54
			Wherever he's directed, he's directed. He goes.
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58
			But you find some people, they have become
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:59
			so enslaved to their
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			Hawa. They've become like his Lord.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			Haven't you seen the person who took his
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:08
			Hawa as an Ilah? He took his desires
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			as a god.
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Wherever his desire takes him, he goes to
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			it.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:17
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to show us that
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			this is a Mani min Mawani al Hidayah.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			Allah said in
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			the
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			Quran Do not follow your desires. Once you
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			start following your desires it is going to
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:30
			mislead you away from
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:32
			the correct path.
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			And if they don't respond back to you,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			then know that these people they are only
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			following their desires. So Ibn Uqaym
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:47
			he mentions regarding this ayah, there's only what?
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Two situations. When
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			the proofs and evidences comes to you clearly,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			either you accept it, you submit to it,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:57
			or you turn away from it.
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			You respond back to the call of the
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:01
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:02
			or you don't.
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			And if you don't, you are following what
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			your desires, then you're on your way to
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08
			the way of the oppressors.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			Second thing, al kibr.
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			We We talked about this yesterday as well.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			How kibr arrogance
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:15
			has caused a lot of people to turn
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:17
			away from what? Study.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			Or sometimes somebody comes to them with the
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22
			truth, they don't accept it. And we showed
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			you also how
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			Abu Huraira radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu was when Abdul
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Rahman ibn Haris came to him.
		
00:03:30 --> 00:03:32
			When he was given his fatwa for so
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			long, he didn't say to him, Aqi, listen.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			I know so many hadith. I know a
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			1000 hadith. Who are you to come tell
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:39
			me? Rather, Tawad Al Aqi said, Did Aish
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:41
			and Umusalmi really say that? So he took
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			the position.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:46
			Also the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he explained
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			to us what kibr is.
		
00:03:50 --> 00:03:51
			To reject the truth and to be led
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			to the people. A young kid comes up
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			to you, he goes, you made a mistake
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:56
			in the salat for you to put him
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			down. You're just a young kid. Who are
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			you to tell me? I'm older. I've been
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:02
			studying more. Hadakadali come in? Al kibr.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			Allah says,
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:13
			Look how powerful that is. Allah says, anybody
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			who has kibr, arrogance,
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			I am going to move the verses away
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			from him.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			Once he sees the verses,
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			he won't believe in it.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			Sometimes, you know, the Quran touches us. Right?
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			As many people, the Quran doesn't touch them.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:30
			The verses come to them is as if
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:33
			Bob, Jerry Jerry, and Harry are speaking.
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			It's just like any other speech.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			Yesterday, the other day I watched a video
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:41
			a guy he, you know, was reminding of
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			then we responded back and he said,
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:47
			I said what I said.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			I said what I said. As if the
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			guy doesn't care about the verses that are
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			being mentioned to him. I said what I
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55
			said. Put that to the side now.
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:03
			Not hastening
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:04
			to fulfill
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07
			the command of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Like
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:09
			the verse come to you that you hasten
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:09
			to it.
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:12
			Allah says in the Quran about the Munafiqeen.
		
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14
			When the call of jihad used to come
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:15
			to them
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:16
			in the time
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
			They were satisfied
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			with being from those
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:30
			who stayed behind.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			And a seal was played on there was
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			placed on their hearts. The call of Jihad
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:39
			came. They were told to go out but
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			they came out with excuses.
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:43
			They came out with excuses that weren't valid.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:45
			And obviously the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:47
			just let them stay because the prophet sallallahu
		
00:05:47 --> 00:05:49
			alaihi wa sallam at that time he wasn't,
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			you know, getting Wahidis.
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:54
			Ayaat came down later on
		
00:05:55 --> 00:05:58
			which told him about how these munafiqunah really
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:58
			are.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			So the prophet used to allow them. Now
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:03
			if you say anything to them, by not
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:04
			hastening, what did Allah do to them? He
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06
			placed a seal on their hearts. And also
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			another point I'm going to mention, and this
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:10
			is something that I find a lot of
		
00:06:10 --> 00:06:12
			the takfirs online.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:13
			They propagate.
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:16
			They start dropping ayaat to the people. Akhi
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:17
			Allah said this,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:20
			How are you not responding to the call?
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			Allah is telling you to go out to
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			jihad and fight with Aisha. Why are you
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			still sitting on your backside?
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:30
			I mentioned this yesterday as well. Nasun Musaddaq
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:31
			Wa Baathin Muhaqqak.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			Anybody who brings a textual evidence to you,
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:35
			you have this Qaida.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:39
			Firstly, you have to know what? Is this
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:39
			Hadith,
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			this verse that is being brought to you,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			is it authentic? Na'am Payib. The hadith and
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			I is a authentic Khalas. Next
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			step. Is it now being used in this
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			proper correct context?
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:52
			If I say to you, we need to
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			celebrate, I mentioned his sister as well, we
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:56
			need to celebrate a Mawlid for Isa Alaihi
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:58
			Wasallam because he's mentioned in Surat Al Maidah.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			The end of Surat Al Maidah,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:03
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala quotes,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:04
			you
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			know,
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:08
			where He talks about letters have
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			When they're talking about the Eid, let's just
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21
			go and do a mauled now because he
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23
			was mentioned in Surah Al Ma'idah. Do we
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			agree that Ma'id is a verse from the
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:25
			Quran?
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:27
			Surah from the Quran. Right? What's the next
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			step? Is it being correcting is it being
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			used in the correct context?
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:33
			Or someone that uses
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:34
			He
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:38
			says okay to use
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:45
			oppressing 1.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:50
			Oppressing somebody, brothers and sisters.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			There's so many texts
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:55
			show
		
00:07:56 --> 00:07:58
			the seriousness of this matter. The prophet salallahu
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			alayhi wa sallam himself used to be scared.
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			Where do we stand? Another hadith
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			says, He says I hope to meet Allah
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and none of you will
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:13
			come on Yomar Qiyama
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:16
			and say that I oppressed him either with
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			his wealth
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			or blood money.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			Are you with me brothers and sisters?
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			Whoever has oppressed his brother. Whether he spoke
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			about his Erb
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:36
			or he spoke about,
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			you know, or something pertaining himself, pertaining him,
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:41
			he's oppressed him
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:45
			or anything it might be, then let him
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:47
			try to do tahallul. Seek forgiveness today.
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:51
			And Allah says, wallahu laihadin omavali min. This
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:53
			is where the shahid is. Allah says he
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:55
			won't guide those who oppressed. Again,
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			wanting to remain upon what? Ignorance.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:09
			Loving to remain upon ignorance.
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:11
			Allah says to us about Samud.
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			Samud,
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			the people of Samud, who were they sent
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:20
			to? Salih.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			They were sent to or Salih was sent
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:25
			to them, not the other way around.
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			We try to guide them, we show them
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			the direction of what to do.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:33
			First, the hubbul ama, they chose,
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:35
			they preferred
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			being blind over guidance.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:47
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala took them with
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			a very serious punishment
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			due to what they used to do with
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:51
			their hands.
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:54
			So when the guidance came, they know, you
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			know, she's gonna
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:57
			stay upon our way.
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			This is also something very common today. The
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			guy has the ability to learn, doesn't give
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:03
			2 hoots about it.
		
00:10:06 --> 00:10:07
			As Sadisul the 6th point.
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			The shaytan beautifying
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:14
			something for an individual.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:16
			Later on we're going to spoke speak about
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			how the shaytan
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			or the person who's misguided. He's not going
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			to come and tell you this is haram
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			but still do it. So you say you
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			know how like
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			What does Allah subhanahu
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			wa
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:33
			ta'ala in the Quran?
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			He swore by Allah I am from those
		
00:10:53 --> 00:10:55
			who is they, advise it to you. He
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:57
			swore by Allah. When we later Insha'Allah
		
00:10:58 --> 00:10:59
			try to look at that verse of how
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:02
			he swore 3 times and he used heed
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:05
			that. So when shaytan comes and
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:09
			beautifies it for a person, he won't come
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10
			and say to you, Akhir, this is music,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			but halal hip hop,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			halal hip hop. This is the name that
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:17
			is being propagated now. It's not necessarily music,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			but people have been deluded and deceived by
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:21
			saying halal.
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:30
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't guide those who
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:30
			disbelieve.
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:32
			Imam Adhaab
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			he mentioned a powerful statement.
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			How many people do you find?
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:44
			They don't
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			use the or their intelligence doesn't benefit them
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			from the kufr they are upon.
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			Imam al Dhaibirhamalaihi
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:52
			salaamalahu
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			dhaka bailea iman. May
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			Allah curse intelligence
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:00
			without iman.
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04
			And may Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala be pleased
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:05
			with stability
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:06
			and dumbness
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			with Taqwa.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:08
			You mentioned asiraalamunubala.
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:10
			Point number 8, alfusook.
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:16
			Allah doesn't guide those who are fasikin, who
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:16
			are transgressing.
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:22
			Lying. Again, it's a means of
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			not being shown guidance.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:31
			Allah
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			doesn't guide the transgressing
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:35
			liar.
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			Point number 10.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			Al khiyana.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:43
			Point number 10 is Qiyana,
		
00:12:44 --> 00:12:45
			which is
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:46
			being treacherous.
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:52
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala doesn't guide
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			the plotting of those who are treacherous. So
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			these are 10 points.
