			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:06
			who can tell us what are those qualities,
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:14
			habits, attributes that make a Muslim an ideal
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:14
			Muslim.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20
			قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Successful are the believers.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala linked the belief
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			with the success.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			We all would like to be successful.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He says, Enter
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			into Islam.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			Submit yourself to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41
			wholeheartedly, completely.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43
			What else?
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			وَلَا تَتَّبِعُ خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ And do not follow
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			the footsteps of shaitan.
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			Why?
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:55
			إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوبٌ مُبِينٌ He is to you
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			an open enemy.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			So the message is loud and clear.
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:08
			That we cannot be selective people who submit
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:13
			partially, who can submit situationally.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16
			No, no, no, no.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			That is not the attitude.
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:22
			That is not the expected standard of a
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			Muslim.
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:27
			He's invited to submit to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:27
			ta'ala.
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			And he's invited to keep on striving in
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			the way of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:38
			with an urge, with a zeal, with a
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:41
			passion, that he submits to Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43
			ta'ala wholeheartedly.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:52
			who can tell us what are those qualities,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:02:01
			habits, attributes, that make a Muslim an ideal
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			Muslim.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, He begins by
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:11
			stating, أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:17
			الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Successful are the
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			believers.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			Now who is saying this?
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			Allah rabbul Izzah, the creator of the heavens
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28
			and the earth, the one who is the
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			owner of everything, the judge of everything, the
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35
			one who has the power over everything.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:39
			Allah rabbul Izzah, He is saying, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:46
			الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Iman, that is the first habit of
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			an ideal Muslim.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:52
			Practicing the belief in Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:02:52 --> 00:02:58
			'ala is the first habit, first application of
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			an ideal Muslim.
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:03
			Without the belief, there is no way that
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			he can be ideal.
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:09
			And that is the reason, Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:12
			ta'ala linked the belief with the success.
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:14
			We all would like to be successful.
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:19
			And this comes from our creator, Allah subhanahu
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:25
			He keeping the standards, the qualities, the habits,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			the practices.
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:31
			For one and all, قَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ Believers
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:33
			are successful.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			What do we mean when we say we
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37
			believe in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala?
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			And when we say we believe in Allah
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:44
			rabbul Izzah, we mean it, that we are
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:47
			trying to know Allah azzawajal.
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:51
			Based on this firm knowledge, not a shallow
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:57
			understanding, we believe firmly in Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:57
			ta'ala.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:04:02
			So knowledge becomes the foundation of gaining iman
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			That is what it means to believe in
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:10
			And when we say we know Allah rabbul
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:14
			Izzah, we know that we declare as Allah
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:18
			subhanahu wa ta'ala commands, قُلْ, say to
		
00:04:18 --> 00:04:22
			them, هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ He is Allah, the
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			One and Unique.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:26
			So He is One and Unique.
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:33
			أَحَدٌ فِي ذَاتِهِ أَحَدٌ فِي أَصْمَائِهِ أَحَدٌ فِي
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:41
			صِفَاتِهِ أَحَدٌ فِي أَفْعَالِهِ أَحَدٌ فِي عِبَادَاتِهِ Five
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44
			demands when we fulfill, we come to a
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			momentum to say that we know Allah subhanahu

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58
			in His names.
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			We acknowledge and we affirm that He is
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:06
			One and Unique in His attributes, in His
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			actions, and all the acts of ibadah, worship,
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13
