			Their respective brothers and sisters in this very
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23
			short,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			reminder
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			where I want to take an extract
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			from the kitab of Ibn al Qayyim
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			And the extract that I have chosen is
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			the effects that the sins
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			it has on a person's heart and likewise
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38
			his body.
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:40
			Brothers and sisters,
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			I don't think anybody will
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			question this.
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			We are universally people who all fall into
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:48
			sins.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			As the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			told us in the
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:53
			authentic hadith,
		
00:00:58 --> 00:00:59
			Every single,
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			son of the children of Adam
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			is an individual who excessively makes mistakes,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:09
			who excessively sins. We are all sinners,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			And there isn't a face on this earth.
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			There isn't anybody on the face of this
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			earth except that he falls into mistakes.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			But the problem of the matter is, my
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			brothers and sisters,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			sometimes
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			we might not necessarily
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			realize the effects
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28
			that these sins have on a person's body,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			his heart,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31
			the long term effects.
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			So Ibn Taym Rahim Allahu Ta'ala, he mentioned
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			something very very powerful, and I want to
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:36
			mention this
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
			before I move into the different points that
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			he mentioned. He mentioned something
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:45
			along the 20 points or more.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			The effects that it has on a person.
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50
			And insha Allahu ta'ala, we will only mention
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			a couple of them. But something very powerful
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			he mentions is,
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:02
			something that we should all know about, and
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			it's a must that we know about.
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07
			That the sins and also disobedient acts,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:09
			it harms a person, and this is something
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			that is bound to happen, and it must.
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:18
			The effects that the sin
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			has on a person's
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			heart
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:23
			is just like the effect
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			that
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			poison has on a person's body.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			A lot of people they think brothers and
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:31
			sisters that you can sin as much as
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33
			you like, and then say istaghfirullah,
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			and then everything will be plain sailing again.
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			Everything will be back to normal and is
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			perfectly fine.
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:42
			We need to know brothers that it leaves
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			an effect on a person's body and heart.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:47
			If a person now wants to drink poison
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			Methanol, for example,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			and he takes the relevant medicine to remove
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:53
			all of this poison,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			Sominda is very well known is that there
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			will be some remainders that remain on a
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			person's body.
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:02
			And then slowly slowly, you find it tends
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:04
			to what? Be removed
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			through the medicine that he takes.
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			And, likewise,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			you have the Quran and the sunnah that
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			has given us the sheefah,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:12
			the
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:16
			cure for the sins and the problems that
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			we get ourselves involved in.
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells in the Quran,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:26
			oh people,
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:29
			that which has come to you is what
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:30
			a shifa, a cure.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			What is this cure is the Quran.
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:35
			Have we ever wondered brothers and sisters, sometimes
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:37
			we might even feel
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:40
			discomfort of walking into the masjid.
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43
			Have we ever sometimes maybe thought about that
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:46
			every time we want to do something with
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:48
			our lives, we find barriers
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			between us and also
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:52
			accomplishing
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:55
			that thing that we're trying to succeed in.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:58
			Have we ever ever wondered, my brothers and
		
00:03:58 --> 00:03:58
			sisters,
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			why every time we might sit down in
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			order to attain knowledge,
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:05
			We sit there for hours or we try
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:06
			to memorize.
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:09
			But what happens? That knowledge doesn't seem to
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			be entering.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12
			There's a number of reasons for this.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:15
			So inshallah, I will
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:18
			speak about some points without prolonging the whole
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:18
			lesson.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:20
			The first point that
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			Ibn Khayim he mentions is,
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:28
			One being deprived of knowledge
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:31
			if a person now starts sinning.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			And then he says,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:40
			This ilm is a Nur that Allah Subhanahu
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:42
			Wa Ta'ala, he places in a person's heart.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:50
			And the sins, the disobedient acts that a
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:52
			person might fall into, what does it do?
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:54
			It extinguishes this noor
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:57
			that has been placed in the person's heart.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:01
			Once upon a time, Imam Shafi
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			he sat in front of Imam Malik.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			He became amazed
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			with his cleverness,
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			his intelligence,
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:26
			his sharpness.
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:30
			He was so alert. He has great understanding.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36
			He said,
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			I see that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:51
			placed a light in your heart.
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			Do not extinguish this light with the darkness
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			of what? Of sins.
		
00:05:57 --> 00:05:58
			The darkness of sins.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:01
			Later on in his life, Imam al Shafi'i
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:05
			he made a complaint to his teacher Wakeah.
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:09
			There's some lines of poetry that he has
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			been ascribed back to him. He says,
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			I went and complained to Shafi'i
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:28
			Sorry. Imam Shafi'i said, I complained to Waqir
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			about my weak memorization.
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			He directed me to leaving of sins.
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:38
			He told me that ilm is a nur,
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:39
			is a light.
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			And this light of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:45
			is not gifted to
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:46
			a sinner.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			He never said to him, oh, don't worry
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:51
			about him, mama shafi, you're very old now.
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			No, but he told him, leave of sins.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57
			If there is any sins that you are
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			involved in, leave it off. Why? Because this
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			could be the reason why
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05
			your element is being affected, of you attaining
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:06
			knowledge is being affected.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:09
			Why did he go to wakir? This is
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:11
			something, maybe a benefit that you want to
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:11
			take.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:14
			Wakir Rahim Allahu Ta'ala brothers and sisters, he
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:17
			was known for something. And you only tend
		
00:07:17 --> 00:07:19
			to go and seek advice from somebody who
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:20
			has something
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22
			with regards to that which you are looking
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			for.
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:24
			As for a person who doesn't have that
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			thing, you can't necessarily take any benefit from
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:28
			him, or you can't take that which you
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:30
			are looking for from this person. This is
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:31
			why the Arabs they say,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:35
			Somebody who's missing something, you can't give that
		
00:07:35 --> 00:07:36
			thing to you.
		
00:07:38 --> 00:07:40
			Imam Al Thaybir Rahim Allahu Ta'ala mentions in
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:42
			Sir Alam An Nubala when he's speaking about
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:45
			wakiyah and is also mentioning the medicine
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:47
			of memory loss.
		
00:07:48 --> 00:07:49
			Ali ibn Kashir
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:52
			he said,
		
00:07:55 --> 00:07:57
			I never ever saw
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			a book in the hand of Waqi'ah, the
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:01
			teacher of Imam Shabir
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:04
			It was only
		
00:08:07 --> 00:08:09
			hiv. So I asked him what is the
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:12
			medicine, the cure for being able to memorize?
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			If I was to teach you this, would
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:17
			you use it?
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:18
			He said, Yes.
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:22
			So
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			Waqi
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:24
			said,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:25
			leave of sinning.
		
00:08:28 --> 00:08:31
			I haven't tried anything more than it.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:34
			The scholars they say
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:38
			that the sins could affect a person before
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:39
			he starts seeking knowledge
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			and also after seeking knowledge.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:43
			Wallahi, one of the common questions
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:47
			that sometimes reaches me, a person who seeking
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:49
			knowledge is, what is the cure for memorization?
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:50
			I memorize
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			and then all of a sudden I forget.
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			There's a number of reasons for it.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:57
			There is genuinely some people they have difficulty
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:58
			in memorizing.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:09:00
			There's genuine You know, there's people who just
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			don't give the time.
		
00:09:02 --> 00:09:04
			And he needs to be repeating it.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:06
			And the reality of the matter is a
		
00:09:06 --> 00:09:07
			lot of the time
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:10
			it goes back to what? The sins that
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:12
			a person he falls into. Even sometimes
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:15
			something that he's doing and he doesn't realize
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:17
			what this issue is. And a lot of
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:18
			the time it goes back to what? The
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:19
			eyes.
		
00:09:20 --> 00:09:22
			Just having this phone brothers and sisters, this
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:23
			phone, wallahi sabalua.
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:27
			It is an evil that
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			sooner or later we have to really, really
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:32
			put a cap on it.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:35
			Just sometimes browsing
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:37
			inside his phone, not only does it kill
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:40
			the heart, it also kills a person's time.
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:44
			Some of them they mentioned this line of
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:44
			poetry,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			The poet he says that I began to
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			dislike the Internet.
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:02
			Until
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:05
			it started causing me so much tightness in
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:05
			my life.
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:10
			And the reason why I began to dislike
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			the net, the internet is for a number
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:14
			of reason.
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:20
			And from its reasons is, that it's a
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:22
			very deep ocean. And most of you will
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24
			agree to this. You watch one video on
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			YouTube, it leads to another.
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			All has on the side, right?
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:30
			The recommended channels and the recommended videos. You
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:32
			click on another one, and another one, and
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:34
			another one. Or you go on Instagram or
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:37
			Twitter. You go from one page to another.
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:39
			And before you know it, you've wasted so
		
00:10:39 --> 00:10:41
			many hours and this is why he says,
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:46
			How many hours do you think that what
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			he ends up removing it?
		
00:10:48 --> 00:10:50
			Or he busies a person from where he
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:52
			could be doing so many things.
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			One of the advice that I give a
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			lot of people who ask is, get rid
		
00:10:56 --> 00:10:58
			of your phone at the time of memorization.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			Not only because it stops you from looking
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:02
			at Muharramat
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			at the opposite gender.
		
00:11:04 --> 00:11:06
			Ibn Al Qaim says,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			It is from the main foundations
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:15
			that one can preserve his heart. Is what
		
00:11:15 --> 00:11:16
			lowering your gaze?
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:17
			And isn't
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:20
			it a big problem when we are surfing
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:20
			the Internet?
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:23
			Just looking at the opposite gender, a guy
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:25
			looking at a woman and a woman looking
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:27
			at a guy. How do you answer? And
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			it could be the reason why what
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:32
			It affects the person's heart and maybe a
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:33
			lot of his knowledge goes.
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:36
			So, it could affect a person before he
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:38
			starts seeking knowledge, or whatever he's trying to
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:40
			do when he's trying to memorize, or he's
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43
			trying to study, or even after it.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:45
			A person he has studied, he has memorized
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:48
			maybe because of what he looks at could
		
00:11:48 --> 00:11:50
			be the reason why he loses half of
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			this Quran.
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:54
			I remember subhanAllah and this statement stuck with
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:55
			me.
		
00:11:55 --> 00:11:57
			When I was back in Yemen, this is
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:58
			maybe many years ago.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:02
			One brother said to me, I fear that
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:03
			if you go back to Bilad Al Khufr,
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:06
			that half of your Quran is going to
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:07
			go.
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:10
			And he would mention similar things to others.
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:14
			If you ask the question now, has it
		
00:12:14 --> 00:12:16
			affected a person? Of course it has.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:19
			Because there is so much destruction.
		
00:12:19 --> 00:12:22
			Just looking around, you know, just seeing so
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:23
			many things. You know, they say, why are
		
00:12:23 --> 00:12:25
			the Mauritanians, those in Mauritania,
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:27
			their ebbd is so strong
		
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31
			because they don't have any distractions around them.
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:33
			They're in the middle of nowhere. They don't
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:34
			have things distracting them.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:36
			And their memorization
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			is something else.
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:55
			8 points I'm going to mention, I'm going
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:56
			to call it a day.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			Being deprived of provision.
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:02
			The messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam, he said in
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:03
			hadith,
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:12
			One is deprived
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:13
			of provision
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:16
			because of the sin that he falls into.
		
00:13:17 --> 00:13:19
			Sometimes we don't realize why we might end
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:20
			up losing money.
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:23
			Or maybe we end up breaking something
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			that would now go and cost us
		
00:13:27 --> 00:13:28
			to fix.
		
00:13:29 --> 00:13:31
			Maybe sometimes we might want to ask ourselves
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			a question if we get into an accident.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:34
			Maybe I've done something.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:37
			Because now fixing this accident is going to
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:38
			what cost quite a bit, isn't it?
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:41
			And likewise, breaking our phones.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:13:43
			The moment you break your phone because it
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:46
			drops, think to yourself, maybe I done something.
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48
			On all the different,
		
00:13:48 --> 00:13:50
			the misfortunes that a person
		
00:13:50 --> 00:13:53
			goes through in his life, think about it.
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:55
			Maybe it was because of a sin that
		
00:13:55 --> 00:13:55
			I fell into.
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:58
			They say about
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:00
			Muhammad ibn Nasirih
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:05
			When he got very old,
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:07
			he became afflicted with
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:11
			a very big amount of deen, of debt.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:14
			You know what he would say to the
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:15
			people brothers and sisters?
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:18
			The reason why I'm suffering at this moment
		
00:14:18 --> 00:14:20
			in time is because of a sin that
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:21
			I done 40 years ago.
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:25
			I mean a tabi'in this one is.
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:27
			This individual is from the tabi'in, from the
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:29
			most righteous of them, and this is very
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:29
			well known
		
00:14:30 --> 00:14:31
			for anybody who looks into
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:33
			his biography
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:38
			40 years ago. That means brothers and sisters,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			he was leading a life of greatness.
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			Of staying away from sins.
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:47
			That he now realizes it stands out to
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			him of a sin that he done so
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:49
			long ago.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:53
			Muhammad al Sirin.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:55
			What about us who just sin on a
		
00:14:55 --> 00:14:56
			regular basis?
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			And then when we might
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:01
			be afflicted with a calamity,
		
00:15:02 --> 00:15:03
			we might think to ourselves, oh, I'm getting
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:05
			close to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:15:06 --> 00:15:08
			As the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:09
			in another hadith, Inalaha
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:11
			ida ahad bashafsanibtalahu.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:14
			He came in another hadith. The messenger sallallahu
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:15
			alaihi wa sallam first he said in his
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:17
			hadith, if Allah loves a person, he what?
		
00:15:17 --> 00:15:20
			He trous him. In another hadith, he says,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:26
			The most severely tested people are the MB
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:28
			and those like them, those like them. How
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:30
			do we combine now between this hadith that
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:31
			I mentioned in the beginning?
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:33
			About sometimes a person
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:36
			losing out on provision and also these are
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			hadith because these are hadith they say if
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			a person's afflicted with calamity, it might be
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			because Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala loves him.
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:45
			Seems like it's clashing.
		
00:15:45 --> 00:15:47
			The ulama they say
		
00:15:52 --> 00:15:53
			You increase the
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:56
			chances of you having what or the possibility
		
00:15:56 --> 00:15:58
			of you having fell into the sin?
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00
			Of course, you might be getting closer to
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:02
			Allah because you're going through difficulty.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			You are never afflicted with affliction except with
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			what your hands have earned, what you've done
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			with your hands.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:13
			But at the same time you have these
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:14
			hadith.
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			It could be this and it could be
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:17
			that and we don't know. We don't know
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:18
			the ulmagayb.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:21
			The ulama they say, you tell yourself it
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:23
			was because of maybe a sin that you
		
00:16:23 --> 00:16:25
			fell into and you start thinking. It should
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:26
			make a person think.
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:29
			What does he end up doing then? It
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:30
			makes a person
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:33
			hasten to making tawba. So he hasn't lost
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:33
			out.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:37
			Regardless of the situation, khair came out of
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:39
			it. Why? Because he makes tawba.
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:40
			And what do
		
00:16:41 --> 00:16:42
			we
		
00:16:43 --> 00:16:46
			know? Allah loves those who constantly make tawba
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46
			to Allah
		
00:16:46 --> 00:16:48
			and those who are pure and clean.
		
00:16:49 --> 00:16:51
			Either way, now you go about what? Gaining
		
00:16:51 --> 00:16:53
			the love of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:57
			You know the Arabs they say,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:05
			Whoever has ends up having a haram relationship,
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07
			he tends to what?
		
00:17:08 --> 00:17:10
			Be afflicted with poverty.
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:12
			And Allah is very very
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			very true.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:15
			When you speak to Allah of Arabs, sometimes
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			you're in a taxi and you're going from
		
00:17:17 --> 00:17:19
			place to place. And I've had these conversations
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:20
			before.
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:22
			They don't
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:26
			fall short in mentioning an example that they
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:28
			know about or a real life experience.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:31
			That having a girlfriend, that falling into zina
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:32
			and things like that
		
00:17:33 --> 00:17:34
			doesn't bring out a lot of khair into
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:35
			a person's life.
		
00:17:36 --> 00:17:38
			And it always causes one what?
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:41
			To be driven into poverty.
		
00:17:42 --> 00:17:44
			And him losing out on the wealth that
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:44
			he had.
		
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48
			And this is very, very, very true.
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:50
			This is the hadith of the messian sallallahu
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:52
			alaihi wa sallam a person because of the
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:54
			sin that he falls into. He's what? Deprived
		
00:17:54 --> 00:17:55
			of provision.
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:02
			This is point number 3.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:06
			From the effects of the sins brothers and
		
00:18:06 --> 00:18:06
			sisters is
		
00:18:07 --> 00:18:08
			a type of alienation,
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:09
			a coldness
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:13
			that a person now he begins to feel
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:14
			in his life.
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:17
			What does alienation mean?
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20
			A person, he begins to feel uncomfortable
		
00:18:21 --> 00:18:23
			with with regards to him and Allah Subhanahu
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:25
			Wa Ta'ala. Every time he tries to go
		
00:18:25 --> 00:18:28
			to the direction of doing Ibadad, there is
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:30
			a barrier between him and doing that action.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:36
			And until this very period, brothers and sisters,
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:38
			this person who's feeling this feeling,
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:42
			there is still khair in him. Why? Because
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:44
			he has felt this feeling.
		
00:18:46 --> 00:18:48
			That still shows that this person still has
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:49
			some life in his heart.
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53
			Because the moment brothers and sisters you don't
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54
			feel this feeling,
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			that shows that your, your heart has passed
		
00:18:57 --> 00:18:58
			away. It's died.
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:01
			So then he goes on to say,
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			He says that if all the
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:25
			enjoyments of this dunya were to be brought
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:25
			to him,
		
00:19:26 --> 00:19:28
			it would be nothing in comparison
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:30
			to what this person is feeling. It wouldn't
		
00:19:30 --> 00:19:31
			be able to remove
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:32
			the disappointment,
		
00:19:33 --> 00:19:34
			the unhappiness,
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:35
			the loneliness,
		
00:19:36 --> 00:19:38
			the alienation this individual is what?
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:40
			Going through.
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:45
			And slowly, slowly, the more he keeps on
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			sinning, his heart begins to die.
		
00:19:47 --> 00:19:49
			And this is why he says,
		
00:19:53 --> 00:19:55
			One won't feel this except somebody who still
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:57
			has some life in his heart. Because if
		
00:19:57 --> 00:19:58
			he dies,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:01
			he brings the lines of poetry.
		
00:20:02 --> 00:20:04
			If a person is dead
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:06
			and then you go and stop this dead
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:07
			person,
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:09
			will this dead person feel anything?
		
00:20:10 --> 00:20:13
			He won't feel absolutely nothing. The man's dead.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:15
			No matter how many times you stop that
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:16
			dead person, he's not going to feel anything.
		
00:20:18 --> 00:20:19
			And this is exactly
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:21
			the situation of a person
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:23
			who his heart has died.
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:27
			From the effects that it ends up happening
		
00:20:27 --> 00:20:28
			is lack of haya,
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:30
			lack of shyness.
		
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33
			What he used to do in private, now
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			he's doing openly because he doesn't necessarily realize
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:37
			anymore that there's something wrong.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:54
			Says if this
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:56
			this effect that I just spoke about
		
00:20:57 --> 00:20:59
			was the only reason
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:01
			why he left of sinning, it would be
		
00:21:01 --> 00:21:02
			a great job that he's doing.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:12
			An individual who's going through this type of
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:12
			alienation,
		
00:21:13 --> 00:21:14
			this coldness
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:16
			between him and Allah
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:18
			He complained
		
00:21:19 --> 00:21:20
			to somebody
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21
			who has knowledge.
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23
			He said to him,
		
00:21:29 --> 00:21:31
			If the sins have caused you now to
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:32
			feel in such a way,
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:33
			faddaha,
		
00:21:33 --> 00:21:35
			leave it off inshita with statanus.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:39
			And then seek the pleasure
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			within Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Seek that pleasure
		
00:21:41 --> 00:21:43
			from Allah azza wa Jal. Because brothers and
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:46
			sisters, the Ibad brings out leather.
		
00:21:46 --> 00:21:49
			This is why the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:51
			he said to Bilal, come you Bilal fa
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:53
			alikhna bis salah. He never said fa alikhna
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			minas salah.
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:56
			Bilal stand up
		
00:21:57 --> 00:21:59
			and cause us to gain through the salah
		
00:21:59 --> 00:22:00
			enjoyment.
		
00:22:00 --> 00:22:02
			Make the adhan so we can get enjoyment
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:03
			through the salah.
		
00:22:04 --> 00:22:07
			Once a person, brothers and sisters, he feels
		
00:22:07 --> 00:22:08
			that lived there in his prayer,
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			when he totally forgets all that which is
		
00:22:11 --> 00:22:12
			taking place
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			in this dunya.
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:16
			Wallahi, there is no enjoyment,
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			no sweetness that a person he feels in
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:21
			his life more than that which he gains
		
00:22:21 --> 00:22:22
			through the prayer
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:24
			And his other Ibadat.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:28
			But there's different as bad that a person,
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:30
			you know, ends up embarking upon in order
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:32
			to reach that level.
		
00:22:33 --> 00:22:34
			Maybe insha Allahu Ta'ala, nakhidudarsen,
		
00:22:35 --> 00:22:37
			how a person can gain khushur and a
		
00:22:37 --> 00:22:39
			salat. There's a number of points that the
		
00:22:39 --> 00:22:40
			scholars, they mention.
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:42
			Another time.
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:47
			So the Sheikh here, this line of poetry
		
00:22:47 --> 00:22:48
			that was mentioned, he's telling you now to
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			go back to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala to
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:51
			do this Ibadat
		
00:22:52 --> 00:22:54
			so that this alienation can be replaced with
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:55
			what?
		
00:22:55 --> 00:22:57
			With pleasure and sweetness that a person
		
00:22:58 --> 00:22:59
			can gain through the Ibadat.
		
00:23:07 --> 00:23:10
			This person has tasted the sweetness of Iman.
		
00:23:13 --> 00:23:16
			And this is also a very important point.
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			Maybe we can relate to this. Sometimes why
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:20
			those are very close to us,
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:24
			The attitude begins to change towards us.
		
00:23:31 --> 00:23:34
			A type of alienation, a coldness
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:37
			that a person now begins to feel
		
00:23:37 --> 00:23:39
			between him and the people.
		
00:23:40 --> 00:23:42
			Walasim aalulkhair.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:44
			Walasim aalulkhair
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:02
			And the more this washa, this coldness, this
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:03
			alienation that this person he feels,
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:07
			he begins to further himself away from the
		
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08
			people of Khair
		
00:24:09 --> 00:24:10
			and also their sittings.
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			And
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:16
			he also now becomes deprived
		
00:24:18 --> 00:24:18
			from
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:20
			benefiting
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:21
			from the knowledge.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:29
			And in accordance to how he became so
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31
			far away from
		
00:24:31 --> 00:24:34
			the people of Khair, the hizbul Rahman, the
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:36
			group of the most beneficial, most beneficent,
		
00:24:37 --> 00:24:38
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			group.
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41
			He begins to
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43
			become close to the people of the shaytan.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:47
			Wallahi brothers and sisters, this is very very
		
00:24:47 --> 00:24:48
			true.
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:52
			The discomfort that a person begins to feel
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:55
			that he just doesn't want anything to do
		
00:24:55 --> 00:24:55
			with them.
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:58
			The masajid, the discomfort he feels from going
		
00:24:58 --> 00:24:59
			into the masjid,
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:01
			and it's like a magnet
		
00:25:02 --> 00:25:04
			where he's being now pulled to those
		
00:25:06 --> 00:25:06
			bad companions.
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:10
			And all of this is the effect of
		
00:25:10 --> 00:25:11
			sin that a person has been feeling in
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:12
			his heart.
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:15
			And what does he do?
		
00:25:15 --> 00:25:18
			He remains with these bad people till what?
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:20
			It leads from one sin to another.
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:24
			He becomes more drowned into it, and all
		
00:25:24 --> 00:25:25
			of this started with a sin that is
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:26
			done.
		
00:25:36 --> 00:25:38
			So this alienation this person is feeling, it
		
00:25:38 --> 00:25:41
			becomes so strong and so much that it
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:43
			ends up overwhelming him.
		
00:25:55 --> 00:25:57
			What does end up happening after that? It
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58
			doesn't doesn't stop with him.
		
00:26:01 --> 00:26:04
			He begins to experience a change of attitude
		
00:26:04 --> 00:26:05
			with those that are very close to him,
		
00:26:05 --> 00:26:06
			like his wife,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:08
			his riding camel,
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:10
			His relatives.
		
00:26:12 --> 00:26:14
			Sometimes we walk into the home and then
		
00:26:14 --> 00:26:16
			all of a sudden we tend to see
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:19
			some sort of attitude change with our families,
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:21
			and the other way around us all. It's
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:22
			not just necessarily the guy.
		
00:26:23 --> 00:26:25
			Maybe the wife walks in into the home,
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:28
			and she finds a change with her husband's
		
00:26:28 --> 00:26:29
			attitude.
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:31
			One of the questions we might want to
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:34
			ask ourselves is, it's maybe now because of
		
00:26:34 --> 00:26:35
			a sin that I done, something that I
		
00:26:35 --> 00:26:36
			watched,
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:38
			a woman that I looked at or a
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:40
			guy that I ended up looking at. And
		
00:26:40 --> 00:26:42
			because of this, all of a sudden now
		
00:26:42 --> 00:26:45
			I'm beginning to see problems in my
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:46
			home
		
00:26:49 --> 00:26:51
			or maybe sometimes the car is not working
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:51
			properly.
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:54
			Let us think and sit down. Has it
		
00:26:54 --> 00:26:55
			got something to do with something that I've
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:56
			done before?
		
00:26:58 --> 00:27:00
			So he quotes Waqalaba'al
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			salaf, some of the
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:04
			righteous of the past they mentioned, Inni l'usilaha
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:07
			fa'aradhaalika
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:08
			fihkuluqidabati.
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:12
			I disobey Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and I
		
00:27:12 --> 00:27:15
			now begin to see a change of attitude
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:16
			in what?
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18
			In my riding camel.
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:21
			One Mar'ati and also my wife.
		
00:27:23 --> 00:27:25
			Brother and sister, these people that we're talking
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:27
			about, they're not any random Tom, Dick and
		
00:27:27 --> 00:27:28
			Harry of this time.
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:30
			These were the best of the people,
		
00:27:31 --> 00:27:32
			and this is some of the things that
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:34
			they are admitting themselves to.
		
00:27:34 --> 00:27:37
			They're admitting to it. They're not people who
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:37
			are deluded,
		
00:27:38 --> 00:27:41
			who think to themselves that their lives are
		
00:27:41 --> 00:27:41
			perfect.
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:44
			It's always those other people who are wrong.
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46
			Sometimes we should blame ourselves
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:49
			and really think, okay it's maybe because I've
		
00:27:49 --> 00:27:50
			done something.
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:53
			Imam Malik
		
00:27:56 --> 00:27:58
			he used to mention something very very powerful.
		
00:27:58 --> 00:27:59
			He used to say,
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:00
			Aslihamma
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01
			baynaqwa
		
00:28:01 --> 00:28:02
			bayna
		
00:28:04 --> 00:28:05
			nass.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:08
			Rectify that which is between you and Allah
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:11
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and Allah Azzawajal will rectify
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:12
			that which is between you and the people.
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:14
			Of course there's always
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:17
			that factor of, you know, somebody,
		
00:28:18 --> 00:28:20
			he might have some sort of envy towards
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21
			another individual
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			and because of that he dislikes him.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:27
			It might be because this individual, he does
		
00:28:27 --> 00:28:29
			genuinely have character problems and because of that
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			he begins to dislike you.
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:34
			And sometimes you might end up being oppressed.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:37
			A doubt is mentioned to somebody, and because
		
00:28:37 --> 00:28:39
			of this he begins to dislike that person.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:43
			But maybe a lot of the time what
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:45
			we should, you know, deal with these situations
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:47
			is maybe because I done something.
		
00:28:49 --> 00:28:49
			I sinned.
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			I may have violated the limits of
		
00:28:53 --> 00:28:54
			Allah and because of this, this and that
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:55
			is happening.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			Point number 5,
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:19
			Things start becoming very difficult for him.
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:21
			There isn't a time when he turns his
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:23
			attention towards any matter
		
00:29:23 --> 00:29:24
			except that he finds a barrier,
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			and he finds it difficult in trying to
		
00:29:27 --> 00:29:28
			accomplish it.
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:31
			And again brothers and sisters, this is the
		
00:29:31 --> 00:29:32
			effects of sins.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:36
			Sometimes maybe we're trying to find a job.
		
00:29:37 --> 00:29:38
			Everywhere that I look,
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:39
			the door is closed.
		
00:29:41 --> 00:29:42
			Might be in these times where we do
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:43
			isighfar.
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:45
			We repent to Allah
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:48
			We blame ourselves.
		
00:29:52 --> 00:29:53
			We raise the possibility
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:56
			that it was us who fell into these
		
00:29:56 --> 00:29:56
			sins.
		
00:29:57 --> 00:29:59
			Brothers and sisters, you know, taqwa,
		
00:29:59 --> 00:30:01
			it requires a whole lesson to explain.
		
00:30:02 --> 00:30:04
			A lot of the time we hear when
		
00:30:04 --> 00:30:07
			taqwa is being explained or translated means fear.
		
00:30:07 --> 00:30:08
			Speak more than that.
		
00:30:08 --> 00:30:09
			Azimna Rajib
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:11
			explains and he says
		
00:30:16 --> 00:30:19
			That a person he places a barrier, a
		
00:30:19 --> 00:30:19
			shield
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:21
			in between that
		
00:30:22 --> 00:30:24
			which he fears in himself.
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:27
			What is the shield? So here the shield
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:29
			you are placing is between you and Allah
		
00:30:29 --> 00:30:30
			What is the shield?
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:35
			To do that which you have been commanded
		
00:30:35 --> 00:30:37
			to do and to stay away from the
		
00:30:37 --> 00:30:39
			things that you've been prohibited to
		
00:30:40 --> 00:30:40
			do.
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:43
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala what did he
		
00:30:43 --> 00:30:43
			say?
		
00:30:46 --> 00:30:47
			Whoever has taqwa,
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:50
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will make matters easy
		
00:30:50 --> 00:30:51
			for him.
		
00:30:52 --> 00:30:54
			He will make what? Matters easy for him
		
00:30:54 --> 00:30:55
			for having a taqwa.
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:58
			And likewise the ax. What do we understand
		
00:30:58 --> 00:31:00
			from it? If a person doesn't come with
		
00:31:00 --> 00:31:02
			taqwa, that which he should be doing and
		
00:31:02 --> 00:31:04
			what he should be staying away from, Allah
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:05
			Azawajal will what?
		
00:31:06 --> 00:31:07
			Will make things hard for him.
		
00:31:08 --> 00:31:10
			Point number 2 was that a person is
		
00:31:10 --> 00:31:10
			deprived
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:13
			of provision.
		
00:31:14 --> 00:31:16
			He's deprived of provision.
		
00:31:16 --> 00:31:18
			Allah tells us also in the same surah,
		
00:31:24 --> 00:31:26
			Whoever comes with taqwa, Allah
		
00:31:27 --> 00:31:28
			will always give him an opening.
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			He will provide for him that which isn't
		
00:31:34 --> 00:31:34
			expecting.
		
00:31:35 --> 00:31:36
			And you have the other hadith, the messiahsallahu
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:38
			alaihi wa sams as well.
		
00:31:41 --> 00:31:43
			You don't leave something out of taqwa.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			Sometimes you're in a predicament. You find out
		
00:31:45 --> 00:31:47
			all of a sudden your job is haram
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:48
			or you're dealing riba.
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:51
			It's very, very difficult to leave. Why? Because
		
00:31:51 --> 00:31:53
			the shaytan is whispering in our ears.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:31:57
			The shaitan,
		
00:31:59 --> 00:32:00
			he threatens you with what?
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:01
			Poverty.
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03
			Scares the people with poverty.
		
00:32:05 --> 00:32:06
			Shaitan Youkhawifawliya,
		
00:32:06 --> 00:32:08
			he scares them. Falataqafoonmaqafuni.
		
00:32:10 --> 00:32:11
			Do not be fearful of him.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:13
			He's whispering, whispering, whispering.
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:16
			And because of the taqwa that a person
		
00:32:16 --> 00:32:18
			has, he leaves up what he should be
		
00:32:18 --> 00:32:20
			leaving of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala opens 100
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:21
			of doors for him.
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:25
			Wallahi brothers and sisters, I can mention story
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:28
			after story after story of brothers who came
		
00:32:28 --> 00:32:29
			up to me and I told them this
		
00:32:29 --> 00:32:29
			hadith.
		
00:32:34 --> 00:32:36
			Of course, you know, sometimes it's very difficult,
		
00:32:37 --> 00:32:39
			but they ended up acting upon the hadith.
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:41
			He left his job. Allah
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:43
			placed it with a job where they're earning
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:43
			more money.
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			A promise of Allah, he never fails in
		
00:32:49 --> 00:32:49
			his promise.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			Number 6,
		
00:33:06 --> 00:33:09
			A type of darkness, a tightness that a
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:11
			person now begins to feel in his heart.
		
00:33:15 --> 00:33:17
			He begins to see the reality of this.
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			He feels it in reality.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:24
			He begins to feel it just as he
		
00:33:24 --> 00:33:25
			feels the darkness of the night.
		
00:33:32 --> 00:33:35
			He begins His heart begins to feel this
		
00:33:35 --> 00:33:35
			darkness
		
00:33:36 --> 00:33:38
			just as he sees
		
00:33:38 --> 00:33:40
			or he feels the physical darkness that affects
		
00:33:40 --> 00:33:41
			his vision.
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:43
			If a person goes out in the night
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:44
			and there's no lights whatsoever,
		
00:33:45 --> 00:33:47
			no lights whatsoever, this has an effect on
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:48
			his vision
		
00:33:49 --> 00:33:51
			which you will all agree to. He can't
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:51
			see anything.
		
00:33:54 --> 00:33:55
			And then he says,
		
00:33:57 --> 00:33:58
			being obedient to Allah as well is a
		
00:33:58 --> 00:33:59
			light.
		
00:34:02 --> 00:34:03
			And being disobedient
		
00:34:04 --> 00:34:05
			it's what? It's a darkness.
		
00:34:10 --> 00:34:13
			And the more the more a person,
		
00:34:14 --> 00:34:16
			he finds himself in his darkness, the mass
		
00:34:16 --> 00:34:17
			the darkness of disobedience,
		
00:34:19 --> 00:34:21
			you find that the darkness increases.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			And he begins to increase in confusion.
		
00:34:31 --> 00:34:33
			Until he ends up falling into what?
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:36
			Misguided acts
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:37
			of disobedience,
		
00:34:37 --> 00:34:38
			and also what?
		
00:34:39 --> 00:34:39
			Innovation,
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42
			And things that destroy this person.
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:45
			And sometimes from where he doesn't expect it.
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:49
			He doesn't necessarily realize. He doesn't feel that
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:51
			he's going he's going astray.
		
00:34:51 --> 00:34:54
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala tells us,
		
00:34:57 --> 00:34:59
			It is not the eyes that becomes blind.
		
00:34:59 --> 00:35:01
			It is the heart that has become blind.
		
00:35:02 --> 00:35:05
			He just does not see. No matter how
		
00:35:05 --> 00:35:07
			many evidences you bring to this person and
		
00:35:07 --> 00:35:10
			how clear you make it to him. He
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:12
			just doesn't realize that what he's doing is
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:14
			wrong. He believes he's getting close to Allah
		
00:35:15 --> 00:35:18
			This is why innovation is more beloved to
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:18
			shaytan
		
00:35:19 --> 00:35:20
			than what? Than Masiyyah.
		
00:35:21 --> 00:35:22
			When a person is sinning,
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:24
			he knows that he's sinning, he knows that
		
00:35:24 --> 00:35:26
			this is wrong. But when a person now
		
00:35:26 --> 00:35:28
			is celebrating the birthday of the prophet sallallahu
		
00:35:28 --> 00:35:29
			alaihi wasallam
		
00:35:29 --> 00:35:31
			or he is now calling on to the
		
00:35:31 --> 00:35:34
			messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam asking him to remove
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:36
			the difficulty that he's going through. He believes
		
00:35:36 --> 00:35:37
			again close to Allah
		
00:35:37 --> 00:35:39
			No matter what you bring to him,
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:41
			he thinks that he's right.
		
00:35:42 --> 00:35:43
			And this is what a sin does brothers
		
00:35:43 --> 00:35:44
			and sisters.
		
00:35:46 --> 00:35:47
			I know a lot of people who are
		
00:35:47 --> 00:35:48
			apostated
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:51
			And, wallahi, brothers and sisters, they didn't apostate
		
00:35:51 --> 00:35:51
			overnight.
		
00:35:53 --> 00:35:54
			He did not apostate overnight.
		
00:35:55 --> 00:35:57
			Something that just happened like that.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:01
			No. You could see that initially started from
		
00:36:01 --> 00:36:01
			sins
		
00:36:02 --> 00:36:05
			and then he started falling into what? Innovation.
		
00:36:06 --> 00:36:08
			And then he left a fold of Islam
		
00:36:08 --> 00:36:10
			in totality, where he became an atheist.
		
00:36:11 --> 00:36:13
			Allah says to us in the Quran, saasri
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:16
			fa'an Allah says to us in the Quran,
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			Do you know that kibr,
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:20
			arrogance could lead 1 to leaving the foldable
		
00:36:20 --> 00:36:21
			Islam?
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:24
			This is what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala tells
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:24
			us.
		
00:36:33 --> 00:36:36
			Those who ended up having what, kibr, towards
		
00:36:36 --> 00:36:38
			the truth, arrogance. He was told this is
		
00:36:38 --> 00:36:39
			wrong, but he persisted.
		
00:36:40 --> 00:36:43
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is going to blinden
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:44
			these person these people.
		
00:36:49 --> 00:36:50
			Their hearts will be flipped
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:53
			and also their eyes.
		
00:36:53 --> 00:36:55
			What they were able to see before he
		
00:36:55 --> 00:36:56
			can't see anymore.
		
00:36:56 --> 00:36:57
			Why? Because
		
00:36:58 --> 00:37:00
			he didn't believe in it when the textual
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:02
			evidences, the truth came to this person.
		
00:37:02 --> 00:37:05
			So he becomes more and more and more
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:06
			indulged in sins.
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:09
			So this person ends up leaving the fold
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:09
			of
		
00:37:19 --> 00:37:21
			Just like a blind person who walked into
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:23
			the middle of the night,
		
00:37:23 --> 00:37:24
			and he's walking by himself
		
00:37:25 --> 00:37:27
			like he's confused. He just doesn't know where
		
00:37:27 --> 00:37:29
			he's going. Doesn't know where he's going.
		
00:37:30 --> 00:37:31
			That's exactly what
		
00:37:33 --> 00:37:35
			The blind person, is he drugged or is
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:37
			he the one that drags the people?
		
00:37:37 --> 00:37:38
			It's the opposite.
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			He is to be what? Drugged
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:42
			and taken by the hand.
		
00:37:42 --> 00:37:44
			And if he's by himself, he's gonna fall
		
00:37:44 --> 00:37:45
			from one side to side.
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:48
			And this is exactly what happens to a
		
00:37:48 --> 00:37:49
			person with regards to his religion.
		
00:37:55 --> 00:37:57
			And this vulma, this darkness
		
00:37:58 --> 00:38:01
			increases so much till it becomes what apparent
		
00:38:01 --> 00:38:02
			on the on the eyes.
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			And it increases so much
		
00:38:09 --> 00:38:12
			to such an extent where it now starts
		
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13
			becoming on a person's face.
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:14
			Watasirusawadenfihiya
		
00:38:16 --> 00:38:16
			raquluhad,
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:19
			and his face blackens
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:22
			to such an extent everybody can see this.
		
00:38:24 --> 00:38:26
			To such an extent, brothers and sisters,
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			everybody can see this.
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:30
			You can see a person who's doing ta'at,
		
00:38:30 --> 00:38:30
			laylanwanaharan,
		
00:38:31 --> 00:38:34
			it becomes apparent on his face. And a
		
00:38:34 --> 00:38:36
			person who's constantly indulging in sins, it becomes
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:39
			apparent on his face. As an ambassador radiallahu
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:40
			ta'ala anhu he said,
		
00:38:45 --> 00:38:47
			Sorry, Inal al Hazar Dhiaan Filwajiwanurranfi.
		
00:38:49 --> 00:38:49
			A person
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:52
			because of the hasana, the good deed that
		
00:38:52 --> 00:38:53
			he does, he begins to put a glow
		
00:38:53 --> 00:38:54
			on a person's face
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:56
			And a light also.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01
			And he brings about ample of provision.
		
00:39:02 --> 00:39:03
			Wakuwatinfilbeden.
		
00:39:04 --> 00:39:06
			And he also begins to what?
		
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09
			Give this person the strength in his body
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:10
			to do ta'at,
		
00:39:11 --> 00:39:13
			to do other acts from one to another
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:15
			because this is exactly what happens. One good
		
00:39:15 --> 00:39:17
			deed that you do, it leads to another.
		
00:39:17 --> 00:39:19
			One evil that a person does, it leads
		
00:39:19 --> 00:39:20
			to another evil.
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:26
			And it also causes what
		
00:39:27 --> 00:39:29
			love to be found in the people's hearts
		
00:39:29 --> 00:39:30
			for him.
		
00:39:30 --> 00:39:31
			And this is the hadith
		
00:39:32 --> 00:39:33
			of Al Qudsi
		
00:39:33 --> 00:39:36
			where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says,
		
00:39:39 --> 00:39:40
			the hadith of the messian sallallahu alaihi wa
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:41
			sallam.
		
00:39:46 --> 00:39:47
			He calls onto Jibril
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:49
			and then Allah
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:51
			says, you Jibrilu
		
00:39:51 --> 00:39:52
			inneeohibbufoolaninfahibba.
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:55
			Oh Jibril,
		
00:39:56 --> 00:39:58
			For indeed I love so and so, so
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			go and love him.
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			To such an extent where it causes what
		
00:40:02 --> 00:40:04
			all the people to love this person.
		
00:40:14 --> 00:40:16
			And the sayya, the evil that a person
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:16
			does,
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:19
			it causes now this to blacken the face
		
00:40:20 --> 00:40:22
			and to darken his face.
		
00:40:23 --> 00:40:25
			And it also causes what? Darkness to be
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26
			found in his heart.
		
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30
			And his body now to become weak.
		
00:40:36 --> 00:40:38
			And also, you know, your provision to decrease,
		
00:40:39 --> 00:40:42
			and hatred now to appear in the people's
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:43
			hearts for that person.
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			I'm going to conclude insha Allah
		
00:40:51 --> 00:40:52
			with this point.
		
00:40:57 --> 00:40:58
			This is point number 7.
		
00:40:59 --> 00:41:02
			The maasi, the sins that a person he
		
00:41:02 --> 00:41:04
			falls into, what does he do? He weakens
		
00:41:05 --> 00:41:07
			a person's heart and also his body.
		
00:41:10 --> 00:41:11
			As for what he means,
		
00:41:13 --> 00:41:14
			it sickens it.
		
00:41:15 --> 00:41:17
			You know, when a person now becomes afflicted
		
00:41:17 --> 00:41:17
			with
		
00:41:18 --> 00:41:20
			a cold Methylene, his body becomes sick. Right?
		
00:41:21 --> 00:41:24
			And that's exactly what the sins does. It
		
00:41:24 --> 00:41:25
			really sickens a person's heart.
		
00:41:36 --> 00:41:38
			As for the weakness that a person now
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:40
			begins to feel in a person's heart is
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:41
			and this is something that is very well
		
00:41:41 --> 00:41:43
			known. It's Amrumbahir, very apparent.
		
00:41:43 --> 00:41:46
			And it keeps weakening it brothers and sisters.
		
00:41:49 --> 00:41:51
			Until it completely
		
00:41:51 --> 00:41:52
			removes his
		
00:41:53 --> 00:41:54
			life in totality.
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:56
			And I'll explain insha Allahu Ta'ala.
		
00:41:59 --> 00:42:00
			How many people have you seen
		
00:42:01 --> 00:42:02
			who because of the sins that he was
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:05
			falling into, even though this person is very
		
00:42:05 --> 00:42:06
			very rich?
		
00:42:07 --> 00:42:08
			Very very rich.
		
00:42:09 --> 00:42:10
			And, wallahi, brothers and sisters, I knew a
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:11
			guy
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:12
			who
		
00:42:13 --> 00:42:15
			reached a level of suicide
		
00:42:15 --> 00:42:16
			and the man was a millionaire.
		
00:42:18 --> 00:42:20
			All the led that, the pleasures of this
		
00:42:20 --> 00:42:20
			dunya,
		
00:42:21 --> 00:42:22
			he had it.
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:24
			But at the same time, he was somebody
		
00:42:24 --> 00:42:25
			who
		
00:42:26 --> 00:42:28
			was deeply indulged in riba,
		
00:42:29 --> 00:42:30
			and usually interest.
		
00:42:33 --> 00:42:34
			We just mentioned the man was a millionaire.
		
00:42:34 --> 00:42:36
			Right? And with his money, he can do
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:37
			a lot with his life.
		
00:42:37 --> 00:42:39
			Whatever he wants, he can go and what?
		
00:42:40 --> 00:42:41
			Go and buy it.
		
00:42:42 --> 00:42:44
			He felt so depressed and weak
		
00:42:45 --> 00:42:46
			that he wanted to go and take his
		
00:42:46 --> 00:42:47
			life.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:50
			And a lot of the non Muslims, this
		
00:42:50 --> 00:42:52
			is the level that they reach even though
		
00:42:52 --> 00:42:53
			he has everything that he needs.
		
00:42:54 --> 00:42:56
			But then he goes on what? He commits
		
00:42:56 --> 00:42:56
			suicide.
		
00:42:57 --> 00:42:59
			Recently, a brother was telling me this very
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:00
			well known musician.
		
00:43:01 --> 00:43:03
			I can't remember the name that he mentioned.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:05
			This man
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:06
			became a millionaire overnight.
		
00:43:07 --> 00:43:09
			He ended up committing suicide. He was found
		
00:43:09 --> 00:43:11
			in a hotel. I think he sent me
		
00:43:11 --> 00:43:13
			an article or something like that as well.
		
00:43:13 --> 00:43:15
			He ended up, what, committing suicide overnight.
		
00:43:16 --> 00:43:17
			They were depressed.
		
00:43:28 --> 00:43:31
			The believer, he finds strength, what? Inside his
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:31
			heart.
		
00:43:35 --> 00:43:37
			And the more his heart becomes strong, you
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:39
			find that it has a direct effect on
		
00:43:39 --> 00:43:41
			a person's body and his body becomes strong
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:41
			as well.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:43
			And this is what the prophet sallallahu alaihi
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:44
			wasallam told us.
		
00:43:47 --> 00:43:49
			There is a piece of flesh in a
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:51
			person's body that if that becomes rectified, everything
		
00:43:51 --> 00:43:52
			else becomes rectified.
		
00:43:57 --> 00:43:59
			And if that now becomes corrupted, everything else
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			becomes corrupted. And this is the heart.
		
00:44:01 --> 00:44:03
			So he here is saying that if now
		
00:44:03 --> 00:44:05
			the heart becomes strong, how do you strengthen
		
00:44:05 --> 00:44:06
			the heart?
		
00:44:07 --> 00:44:09
			With that which Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala told
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:10
			you to come with.
		
00:44:18 --> 00:44:19
			Even though he's somebody who has a very
		
00:44:19 --> 00:44:20
			strong body.
		
00:44:23 --> 00:44:25
			You find that he's the weakest when it
		
00:44:25 --> 00:44:27
			comes to when he needs something.
		
00:44:28 --> 00:44:28
			Fataqooonuhuwato.
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:33
			And his strength ends up deceiving him. Wataammanqoo
		
00:44:34 --> 00:44:34
			wataabdani
		
00:44:36 --> 00:44:36
			Faris waron.
		
00:44:37 --> 00:44:39
			Ponder upon the strength that Faris,
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:41
			the Persians,
		
00:44:41 --> 00:44:43
			and the people of Arun also had.
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:48
			When they were in the most need, what
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:49
			ended up happening to
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:52
			them? They couldn't do anything. They were deceived
		
00:44:52 --> 00:44:54
			by their strength and the numbers they had.
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:55
			Wakaharatum
		
00:44:55 --> 00:44:56
			ahlulimani
		
00:44:56 --> 00:44:57
			biquwatiabdani
		
00:44:57 --> 00:44:58
			mukullubihin.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:45:00
			And the people of faith,
		
00:45:01 --> 00:45:03
			they ended up what? Defeating them.
		
00:45:03 --> 00:45:05
			And that was because of what?
		
00:45:05 --> 00:45:06
			The strength they had
		
00:45:07 --> 00:45:09
			in their hearts which caused them now to
		
00:45:09 --> 00:45:10
			have strength in their bodies.
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:13
			A couple of examples inshaAllah ta'ala in the
		
00:45:13 --> 00:45:15
			time of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:17
			The battle of Badriah took place in the
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:18
			second
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:22
			year, in the 2nd year of hijrah.
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:24
			After the messiah sallallahu alaihi wasallam
		
00:45:25 --> 00:45:28
			migrated to Al Madina and his battle took
		
00:45:28 --> 00:45:30
			place in the month of Ramadan on 17th.
		
00:45:31 --> 00:45:33
			The adid, the numbers of the Messenger Sallallahu
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:35
			Alaihi Wasallam's companions and those who were fighting
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:36
			against the kuffar
		
00:45:36 --> 00:45:37
			was 319.
		
00:45:40 --> 00:45:42
			The kuffar, they had approximately what? A 1,000.
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:46
			The Muslims were only a third of the
		
00:45:46 --> 00:45:46
			Kufar.
		
00:45:47 --> 00:45:48
			Who ended up winning?
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			It was the Muslims.
		
00:45:51 --> 00:45:53
			They had an iman even though these people
		
00:45:53 --> 00:45:54
			they had what?
		
00:45:54 --> 00:45:56
			They had numbers with them.
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:59
			In the battle of Uhud, brothers and sisters,
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:02
			the Muslims initially, they had a 1,000 men
		
00:46:04 --> 00:46:07
			even though 2 thirds ended up going back.
		
00:46:07 --> 00:46:08
			Why? Because
		
00:46:08 --> 00:46:09
			of the
		
00:46:10 --> 00:46:12
			plot of Ibn Salool, the munafiq.
		
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15
			So there was only a third remaining.
		
00:46:16 --> 00:46:17
			There was only
		
00:46:18 --> 00:46:19
			a third remaining.
		
00:46:24 --> 00:46:25
			No.
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:28
			There was only a third remaining and the
		
00:46:28 --> 00:46:29
			kuffar they had 3,000 of them.
		
00:46:30 --> 00:46:33
			Initially the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam and his
		
00:46:33 --> 00:46:34
			companions,
		
00:46:34 --> 00:46:36
			they chased away the mushriks.
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:40
			But then a problem took place because of
		
00:46:40 --> 00:46:42
			their sin. The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
		
00:46:42 --> 00:46:43
			placed Abdulai ibn Jubeir
		
00:46:44 --> 00:46:46
			with another 50 of them on the top
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			of Jabir Umah and he told them not
		
00:46:48 --> 00:46:49
			to come down.
		
00:46:50 --> 00:46:52
			And he told them not to come down,
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			no matter what takes place.
		
00:46:55 --> 00:46:57
			When the Muslims chased out
		
00:46:58 --> 00:46:59
			the kuffar, the mushrikeen,
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:02
			some of them ended up coming down. They
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:05
			opposed the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam in his
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:07
			command that he gave them. And this was
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:07
			1 Masiyyah.
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:14
			It caused what defeat?
		
00:47:16 --> 00:47:18
			That one sin brothers and sisters, that one
		
00:47:18 --> 00:47:20
			sin. Even though initially they were less in
		
00:47:20 --> 00:47:21
			numbers,
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:25
			They were less in numbers and they still
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:27
			ended up chasing them out. They had 3,000
		
00:47:27 --> 00:47:29
			of them. The messenger
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:31
			only had the third. Why? Because 2 6th
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:34
			2 thirds of them, sorry, ended up going
		
00:47:34 --> 00:47:34
			back.
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:40
			In the battle of Hazza brothers and sisters,
		
00:47:41 --> 00:47:43
			the messenger sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:47:43 --> 00:47:45
			he only had 3,000 of them.
		
00:47:46 --> 00:47:47
			They were inside Al Madinah.
		
00:47:48 --> 00:47:50
			So many tribes and groups they came together.
		
00:47:50 --> 00:47:51
			How many of them was it? It was
		
00:47:51 --> 00:47:52
			10,000 of them.
		
00:47:53 --> 00:47:54
			10,000 of them.
		
00:47:55 --> 00:47:57
			And even then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala hated
		
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59
			them. The tawakkul and the
		
00:48:01 --> 00:48:03
			authenticity they had with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:04
			and they still went defeated.
		
00:48:10 --> 00:48:12
			Till the end of the ayat in Surat
		
00:48:12 --> 00:48:12
			Al Hazab,
		
00:48:13 --> 00:48:15
			there was 10,000 of the polytheists
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:19
			who all came together Shtema'am al Batil.
		
00:48:19 --> 00:48:21
			And there was only 3,000 in Al Medina
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:22
			at a time.
		
00:48:22 --> 00:48:24
			Then you have the battle of Hunayn.
		
00:48:25 --> 00:48:26
			There was only
		
00:48:27 --> 00:48:30
			12,000 of the Muslims, and they had 20,000.
		
00:48:31 --> 00:48:33
			The tribes of Taqif,
		
00:48:35 --> 00:48:37
			the tribes of Thaqif and also Hawazin, there
		
00:48:37 --> 00:48:38
			was 20,000 of them
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:39
			and still
		
00:48:40 --> 00:48:42
			they ended up defeating them.
		
00:48:42 --> 00:48:44
			Even though there was a twitch in the
		
00:48:44 --> 00:48:45
			battle, something that went wrong right in the
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:46
			beginning.
		
00:48:47 --> 00:48:48
			Why? Because some of those
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:52
			in the ranks of the messengers sallallahu alaihi
		
00:48:52 --> 00:48:54
			wasalam, they became amazed with the numbers that
		
00:48:54 --> 00:48:54
			they had.
		
00:48:55 --> 00:48:57
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'alehi talks about this.
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:13
			Some of those who are with the messian
		
00:49:14 --> 00:49:16
			they became amazed with their numbers.
		
00:49:17 --> 00:49:18
			Even as a narration has said some of
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:19
			them claim,
		
00:49:21 --> 00:49:23
			we will not be defeated today.
		
00:49:24 --> 00:49:26
			So Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala trialed them.
		
00:49:27 --> 00:49:29
			They started what? Turning their backs
		
00:49:29 --> 00:49:31
			but then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gave them
		
00:49:31 --> 00:49:34
			victory. Even on the messenger salallahu alayhi wasn't
		
00:49:34 --> 00:49:36
			pleased with some of them saying this. The
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:38
			point of the matter is,
		
00:49:39 --> 00:49:40
			owatul iman.
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:42
			The strength of an iman. There
		
00:49:43 --> 00:49:45
			is nothing that can come in comparison to
		
00:49:45 --> 00:49:45
			it.
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:48
			No matter how many people come in front
		
00:49:48 --> 00:49:49
			of you,
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:50
			you find that
		
00:49:51 --> 00:49:53
			which gives a person strength is his heart
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:54
			by working on it.
		
00:49:54 --> 00:49:56
			And then later on you find that this
		
00:49:56 --> 00:49:58
			has an effect on a person's body. It
		
00:49:58 --> 00:50:00
			has an effect on a people around him
		
00:50:01 --> 00:50:04
			and some, you know, situations he finds himself
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:04
			in.
		
00:50:05 --> 00:50:07
			Brothers and sisters, let us try and work
		
00:50:07 --> 00:50:08
			in this month
		
00:50:08 --> 00:50:09
			on the heart.
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:12
			The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, he used
		
00:50:12 --> 00:50:13
			to make the dua.
		
00:50:17 --> 00:50:17
			Oh Allah,
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:22
			grant me with taqwa for my heart.
		
00:50:29 --> 00:50:31
			You are the best of those who purify
		
00:50:31 --> 00:50:31
			the hearts.
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:34
			You are the guardian and you are its
		
00:50:34 --> 00:50:34
			protector.
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:37
			Something that we might be
		
00:50:37 --> 00:50:40
			wanting to constantly mention and make dua with,
		
00:50:41 --> 00:50:44
			especially while we are fasting. Messenger sallallahu alaihi
		
00:50:44 --> 00:50:45
			wa sallam told us
		
00:50:48 --> 00:50:49
			3 people won't have the dua rejected, and
		
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51
			one of them is what? Asa'imhata
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:52
			yufthira,
		
00:50:52 --> 00:50:54
			the one who's fasting until he breaks it.
		
00:50:54 --> 00:50:57
			We have so many hours, brothers and sisters,
		
00:50:57 --> 00:50:59
			so so many problems in our lives
		
00:51:00 --> 00:51:01
			on this day while we are fasting to
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:03
			ask Allah azza wa Jal.
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			There is nothing more noble to Allah
		
00:51:09 --> 00:51:12
			than a dua. As the messenger sallallahu alaihi
		
00:51:12 --> 00:51:14
			wasallam, he told us
		
00:51:20 --> 00:51:21
			for listening.
		
00:51:21 --> 00:51:22
			And
		
00:51:22 --> 00:51:24
			next week, we're going to take another chapter,
		
00:51:25 --> 00:51:26
			from this, immense kitab.
