Allah subhanho wa Taala your brothers and sisters
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:37
			this episode, we would like to touch a very significant reminder
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:39
			for those people
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			who are
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:50
			there to perform hajj and they have performed Hajj and they are now going and leaving back to their
homes.
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:15
			We know that the sense of elevation in terms of spirituality, the empowerment of demand, the spirit
of Islam, the eagerness to follow the Sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam the zeal of
the obedience to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:23
			it is on high level high spirits right after you perform Hajj.
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:26
			But as soon as you go back
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:42
			you try and tend inclined towards that which is not liked by Allah subhanaw taala so this episode is
concerning. A very significant question
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:56
			and that is how to maintain spirituality after performing hajj or how to maintain our spirituality,
post Hajj.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:12
			Do brothers and sisters we need to realize and understand that Islam is for all time. Islam is not
is not a part time religion. Islam is not a seasonal way of life. It is an a way of life from cradle
to great.
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:28
			Allah subhanho wa Taala states very clearly in Surah Allah Moran surah number three number 102 Johan
de Xena Amano, O you who believe in Allah fear Allah have caught him as he should be feared, one
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:36
			Illa one two Muslim and die not except in the state of Muslim.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:43
			So Allah subhanho wa Taala expects us to die as Muslim. So we
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			those who perform Hajj you need to make sure my brothers and sisters that you maintain the same or
similar level of spirituality, post Hajj. So what are those tips?
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			That will help
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:13
			us to maintain the same level of spirituality even after Hajj. The first thing that you need to do
my dear brothers and sisters
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:38
			in order to maintain your spirituality after Hajj is unique to have this conscious understanding
that you have to fight against shaitan all the time. This is the first thing because you need to
understand the nature of shaitan. The nature of shaitan is that he is very patient,
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:12
			yet he is very committed, he is desperate and he is dead, determined to deviate you. But he waits.
He says okay, this of Allah, the servant of Allah, the slave of Allah, let him perform Hajj with all
sincerity, let him perform all the rights of Hajj, sincerely let him be in the obedience of Allah
subhanho wa Taala until he completes the Hajj. But as soon as he goes back, as soon as you go back
Monday, brothers and sisters, to your home, he attacks
		
00:06:14 --> 00:07:05
			he attacks. And that is the time that you need to fight against rate on mark these words, mark my
words, my brothers and sisters, that we are at war, we are at war all the time against shavon. You
have to wage a war against shaitaan. Think about it. What was your excitement level? What was your
interest level? What was your zeal? What was your energy? What were you What was your understanding?
When you were taking the stones and pelting on the site on? What was it with only eagerness with all
determination, you fighting against it? remembering that Ibrahim Ali salam, he fought against a
thought and you follow that sooner. But when you come back, even then you have to fight against
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:11
			Why? Because Allah subhanaw taala declares in the Koran
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			in who
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:50
			he is to use an open enemy to treat him as your enemy. How do you treat your enemy, you're always in
fight, you're always at war, you're always trying you always try to defeat him to refuse him the
correct one. And that's not easy. You have to be in the obedience of Allah subhanaw taala Otherwise,
the moment when you perform hajj and then when you come back to home, when you come back shaytan
attacks and if you don't fight back, you get again indulge in the same pattern that you were before.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:30
			So nobody would like to get into the same model of expression, the same model of living in order to
maintain your spirituality. Number one, my dear brothers and sisters, you need to fight against
shutdown. Number two, you need to establish Salah there is no better way to increase and improve
your spirituality and maintain your spirituality than Salah. Salah is the divine link between you
and the Creator. When you are in constant touch with a lot of pantalla when you are in the
remembrance, through the Salah, through the establishment of Salah
		
00:08:31 --> 00:09:02
			then your spirits will be maintained high and that is very significant. Reba, my brothers and
sisters, it is the first proclamation It is the first manifestation. It is the first proof of your
claim that you said law a law in the law after tawheed you have to make Salah you have to establish
a law and to Salah to the establishment of Salah you actually maintain the spirituality level. Hi
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:53
			dear brothers and sisters you need to understand that Salah it prevents you from immorality and
wrong. Allah subhanaw taala says into the ankle boots are number 29 and number 45 in salata, tanha
and in fascia he will monger indeed, Salah prayer prevents you to get you from in morality and
wrong. So if you are protected from immorality and wrong, then obviously your spiritual behind. So
establishments of Salah is one of the best tips that you have to implement and practice after Hajj.
The third thing that will make and keep your spirituality level maintained and higher is the
remembrance of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			You see, during Hajj, you always remember last palitana
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			You remember him. When praying, you will remember him by doing Vicar. You remember him by doing
tawaf. You remember him by asking do you remember him while doing sorry, you remember him by
sacrificing your own hair. You remember him through various means and ways. When you go back home,
you need to make sure that you remember Allah in order to make your heart satisfied. Allah subhanaw
taala says in the Quran, in Surah Surah Surah number 13. And we're 28 and busy. karela he talked to
my inner loop with the remembrance of Allah do hearts find serenity, peace, satisfaction,
contentment.
		
00:10:47 --> 00:10:48
			You see you feel
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			full in your heart,
		
00:10:53 --> 00:11:05
			with the remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala. So the way you used to remember Allah, remember Allah
even after Hajj, and that helps you to maintain your spirituality level higher.
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:11
			It helps you The fourth thing, my dear brothers and sisters, that helps
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:49
			you to maintain your spirituality level higher is making dua and seeking stefarr and doing stuff are
your brothers and sisters. Never ever underestimate the power of dwara never underestimate the power
of seeking forgiveness from Allah subhanaw taala Never underestimate the power of repentance Subhan
Allah, Allah Subhana Allah says in Surah Baqarah surah number two and number 186 when my servant
asked you, concerning me, tell them I am new to them.
		
00:11:51 --> 00:12:25
			When they asked me, I will respond to them directly. You don't need any intermediary you don't need
any mediator. Directly Allah answers you make dua make drama brothers and sisters as you used to
make law during Hajj and this helps you to be in touch with Allah subhanaw taala and that helps your
spirituality level higher. Do you brothers and sisters you need to make stuff are the way you used
to do during Hajj in order to make your spirituality higher and better.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:13:01
			Keep doing so far. For you know for sure that every single day we commit sin, day and night we
commit sin no matter how good we are, we are we are disobey Allah subhanaw taala intentionally or
unintentionally, unintentionally, deliberately or in deliberately, we this will be your last panel
to make sure that you make stuff up and that helps you to maintain your spirituality even after
hatch. The last thing My dear brothers and sisters that helps you to maintain your spirituality
higher and
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:19
			Allah subhanho wa Taala he helps to Hodge to remind us in a practical sense that we all will be
gathered that we all will be gathered after we die Allah subhanaw taala in reasonable life, and we
will be gathered
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:21
			in Yokohama
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:24
			we are going to depart this world
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:34
			we are going to depart this world for sure. So we need to submit to Allah subhanaw taala completely
and we need to make sure
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:36
			that we die
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:59
			as Muslims. I would like to end this episode with an ayah with which I began my talk from psoralen
Ron surah number three and 102 yada yada Xena Amano, oh you believe it? Allah, Fear Allah, how God
toccata as he should be fear, one atom butanna illa
		
00:14:00 --> 00:14:10
			and die not except as Muslims, except the one who submits his will to Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:13
