Ahmad Saleem – The Quranic Character #002

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

It's got roots. It's got the trunk and

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

the branches, and it's got fruits.

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

The roots of this tree

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

is our tawhid,

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

our belief in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:20

Its trunk and its branches are the akham,

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

halal, haram,

00:00:21 --> 00:00:24

salah, wajid, mandoo, makru, all of these things

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

that, you know, do this, don't do this,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:29

stop, don't stop, highly recommended, not recommended. All

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

of these discussions we have, those are the

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

the branches and the trunk.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

And

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

its fruits are akhlaq.

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

And the ulema, they say that if a

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

person is found

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

really

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

adhering to the branches of the branches and

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

the trunk, I. E. Salawat and all the

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

5 pillars and everything, the person is doing

00:00:54 --> 00:00:54

it a 100%,

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

yet their character is not being impacted, then

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

there's something wrong. There's a disconnect.

00:01:00 --> 00:01:02

It's just like a tree. You know, like,

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

when Khawazuhi came to my house, like, you

00:01:03 --> 00:01:05

know, we have a tree. It's a it's

00:01:05 --> 00:01:07

a it's a fig tree. It's got its

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09

roots. It's got its trunk, but for some

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

odd reason, it's not giving

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

fruits.

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

The winter happened. This happened. So many reasons.

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

The the tree is there. It looks like

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

the fig tree,

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

but it is not going to give any

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

fruits this year.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:25

K? The environment was not right. Something happened

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

that didn't happen.

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

So or characteristics

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30

are the fruits of your

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

and my.
