00:00:00 --> 00:00:03
			If they have not recognized Allah,
they are jahil
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:13
			Look at the sweeping manner in
which Quran calls out Kol Kul AFA
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:19
			Hayer, Allah, tamur ni Abudu,
ayuhal, jahiloon,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			tell them. Tell them,
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:29
			what is it that you order me to
worship others besides Allah, to
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33
			ascribe partners with Allah, to
not accept the one oneness in
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:37
			wahdaniyat of Allah, Ayu Hal
jahiloon,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:44
			look at the manna in the force
behind the speech. Look at the
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			vehemence behind this declaration.
Unfortunately,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:53
			as I mentioned earlier, our Muna,
Sabat, our link, our attachment
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:57
			with Quran, has become so so
insignificant
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:03
			that we fail to realize the
purport behind this? We fail to
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			appreciate the beauty of Quran.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			This was that Kalam
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:13
			Allah Ali wasallam in the early
days in Makkah, mukarrama,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			he would recite Quran in tahajjud
Sara,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			the disbelievers of Makkah,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:24
			Abu Jahl,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:30
			ataba, Ahmad has been Shariq,
these were avowed enemies of
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			Islam. The whole day they would
plan the hurting and the harming
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			and the maiming of rasulallah, his
followers,
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:41
			their hearts were filled with the
zulmat and blackness of kufr in
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:41
			darkness,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:46
			yet at night, they would secretly
gather to listen to his recitation
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			of Quran.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:51
			One night, they got into a
conversation.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			Then now, supila in the day, we
are calling him Sahil in the day,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			we are calling him Kahin. We are
calling him a magician.
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			We are calling him a poet.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:08
			We are telling the people not to
listen to him. And at night, we
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:11
			ourselves are listening to him. If
the people come to know we will
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:13
			lose our credibility.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			So they make a pact.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			They say, Okay, everyone of you
take an oath
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:24
			that tomorrow we will not come to
listen to his Quran. Everyone
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:27
			takes an oath. The next night
dawns,
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31
			each one thinks in his heart that
they took an oath so they won't
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:37
			come. If I go, they won't come to
know. Such is the pull, such is
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:41
			the jazibiet, such is the magnetic
pull of the Quran that all three
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:44
			of them, once again, come to
listen to the Quran of Rasul.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:49
			This was that Kalam that shook the
hearts filled with zulmat and
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			darkness.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56
			And yet today, what is the
manasapad of the Ummat with Quran
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:03
			this month of Ramadan, beautifully
Look at the beautiful manner in
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:12
			which Rasulullah said, Farah the
law. Farah the law was an unknown.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:18
			Allah made furs for you. Allah
ordained upon you the fasting of
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:23
			the day of Ramadan and I Muhammad
Sallallahu, alayhi wa sallam made
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:25
			sunnat upon you the standing in
tarawih Salah
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:33
			to listen to the Quran one way it
comes for each rakat, for each
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:38
			rakat of tarawih, Salah, each
sajdah, each sajda of tarawih.
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:41
			Salah in Ramadan Allah gives 1500
hasana.
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:48
			1500 rewards for each Sajida, that
is one day's tarawi salah, 60,000
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:52
			rewards, 60,000 hasana
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:00
			for each Sajida, for each Sajida
of tarawi. Salah, Allah gives you
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:05
			one palace in Jannat made out of
red ruby, and this palace will
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:10
			have 60,000 doors made out of gold
and silver for each Sajida of
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			tarawi salah,
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:19
			for each Sajida of the month of
Ramadan, whether in tarawih or Out
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:25
			of tarawi each Sajida of the month
of Ramadan Allah will give you one
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:31
			tree in Jannat that if a fast
horse rider rides for 500 years,
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			he will not cross the shadow of
that tree.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:39
			And yet, first night, Masjid is
full.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Third night, fourth night, fifth
night, sixth night, as Ramadan
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:47
			progresses, gradually, the Masjid
gets more and more and more empty,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:51
			and then once again, come back on
the 27th night,
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			look at the loss that the ummad is
incurring if the announcement had
		
00:04:56 --> 00:04:59
			to be made, stratum Masjid
tomorrow. Tarawi salam.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			For every every person that will
attend underneath the musalla,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			there will be 1500 pounds.
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:10
			Then, father, mother, grandmother,
niece, auntie, everybody will be
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			here.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:13
			The Masjid will be too small,
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:20
			because we understand the value of
Mal. We don't understand the value
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			of Amal
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:31
			Subhanallah, Subhanallah, mith la
Jabali, oh, din ra filjanna O Ka
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:32
			Makala, sallAllahu, alayhi wa,
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			one Subhanallah, one SubhanAllah.
If it was told by every time you
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:41
			say subhanallah, you get 10
pounds. What will happen? He'll be
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:46
			eating, say, subhanAllah be
talking. He'll say, Soman, how you
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:49
			smile? Whatever basic speech,
everything else will be small. Why
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:50
			10 pounds each time.
		
00:05:53 --> 00:05:57
			And yet, what is the reality? What
is the reality? Janavi rasulallah
		
00:05:57 --> 00:06:02
			said one Subhanallah is equivalent
to the mountain of Ohad in gold in
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:03
			Jannah,
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:10
			14 kilometer mountain range in
gold in Jannah, one SubhanAllah.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:17
			But the value of Mali is there?
The value of Amal is not there.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			That is why the heart is aspiring
towards Maal. It is not aspiring
		
00:06:21 --> 00:06:22
			towards Amal.
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:26
			Every branch of worldly wealth,
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:30
			every branch of worldly wealth, in
this verse of the Quran, which I
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			mentioned earlier, Allah
enumerates it. And then Allah
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:38
			places one label, one label.
Dalika, Mata UL Haya, Tidd, dunya,
		
00:06:39 --> 00:06:42
			what is Mata? Imam? Isma irahima
Allah,
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			great scholar. In fact,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			I am digress. One incident
mentioned about him, Allah made it
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			such. He wasn't a handsome person.
In fact, he was not attracted to
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:55
			look at it all.
		
00:06:56 --> 00:06:59
			But his naseeb was such that he
got married to a very beautiful
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:00
			woman.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:05
			So one day, his wife was pleading
herself, admiring herself in the
		
00:07:05 --> 00:07:05
			mirror,
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:10
			looking at her beauty, natural
beauty, which Allah had given her.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:15
			So she turned around and she told
him that you and I are both
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:16
			jannatis. So he
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:22
			says, How come what makes you
arrive at this conclusion. She
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:25
			says, Every time I look at you, I
make Sabha. Allah will give me the
		
00:07:25 --> 00:07:29
			Jannat of Sabha. Every time you
look at me, you make shukar. Allah
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:30
			will give you the Jannat of shukar
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:36
			generally. That is, that is the
tartee. They say, the only time a
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:40
			woman will speak good of her
husband is before they are married
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:43
			and after he dies, in between is
very difficult.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:47
			It's a different matter that the
akhlaq and character is not there
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:49
			amongst us to make them speak good
of us.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:52
			Nevertheless, Imam Isma Iraq
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			was in the taftish trying to
understand the meaning of three
		
00:07:58 --> 00:08:02
			words in the Quran. One was Mata,
the other was ratim, and the third
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:03
			was taala.
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			Look at the khidmat of Quran that
was made.
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:13
			Nowadays we feel time that is
spent in acquiring worldly
		
00:08:13 --> 00:08:17
			knowledge is wasted time. The time
that is spent in acquiring worldly
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:19
			knowledge that is valuable time.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:23
			If the time is spent in Deen, then
we feel that he's wasted time.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:29
			My son will be backwards. My child
will be backwards. Society will
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:32
			look down upon him. How is he
going to make ends meet?
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:38
			All these questions are arising in
the mind. If the child is
		
00:08:38 --> 00:08:40
			channeled towards Deen, he
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:47
			say that Umar bin Khattab Radi
Allahu taala, and who was that
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:48
			personality? He
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			was not an intelligent person. It
is said of him that he would
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:58
			work as a shepherd in the early
days in Makkah,
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:03
			and the mother of Umar was
exasperated with him, because if
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:07
			he took a certain number of camels
or a certain number of goats or
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:11
			sheep in the morning, by the
evening, Omar would definitely
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:12
			lose one or two animals.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			She said, What good are you going
to be, my son?
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:19
			You can't even look after animals.
		
00:09:21 --> 00:09:26
			But when he placed his hand in the
hand of janavi Rasulullah
		
00:09:26 --> 00:09:28
			sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
		
00:09:29 --> 00:09:32
			when he said, Allah beg to the
call of Muhammad Rasulullah
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:36
			sallallahu alayhi wasallam, Allah
took him to those Mantles of honor
		
00:09:36 --> 00:09:36
			and
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:40
			dignity and status.
		
00:09:41 --> 00:09:47
			Allah opened his mind so that up
till today, people study with awe
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:52
			the life of Umar, the Allahu daal
and the manner in which he ruled
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:56
			two to 12 years of Khilafat Islam
spread to 2,200,000
		
00:09:58 --> 00:09:59
			square miles, four.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			1000 jam masjids were established.
Omar became that personality where
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			on 15 occasions, there's no time
to go into the details. 15
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:14
			occasions he expressed a desire to
rasulallah, to some companion. And
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:17
			on the desire of Umar, Quran was
revealed
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:22
			a person who couldn't look after a
few animals, when he placed his
		
00:10:22 --> 00:10:26
			hand in the hand of rasulallah,
that is the Akal and the
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			intelligence which Allah gave him,
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:33
			he became a living embodiment of
the Hadees of rasulallah. Islam.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:38
			Said it thta Ko firasat al mumin,
fain Nahu, Yan Duru, vinori, la
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:43
			fear the inner wisdom fear the
firasat fear, call it the sixth
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:43
			sense.
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:52
			Fear the Firat of IMO, Min fain
Nahu, yandurubi, nurilla, because
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:53
			he looks with the noor of Allah.
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:59
			One incident is mentioned. Kari
Tahi sa Rahul Ali mentions in his
		
00:10:59 --> 00:11:00
			kidab One scholar,
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:04
			he said, during the Khilafat
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			of Umar, the Allahu taala, and
who, one night, Ali Nadi, Allahu
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12
			taala, who sees a dream,
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:16
			and in his dream, he sees it is
the time of rasulallah SallAllahu
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:19
			Sallam Ali is proceeding for Fajr
Salah. There's an elderly woman
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:23
			outside the masjid in her hand,
she has a bowl of dates. She
		
00:11:23 --> 00:11:26
			presents it to Ali. Says to him,
present this to Rasulullah.
		
00:11:26 --> 00:11:29
			Sallall Islam. Request him to
distribute it amongst the
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:33
			companions. He goes to Nabhi
slasam After salah, presents the
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:36
			dates to him. Nabis las takes one
date, puts it in the mouth of Ali.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			Ali experiences such sweetness and
ecstasy that he says, Sidney ya
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:44
			rasulallah, give me another one.
Just then, the Azaan goes, Ali
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			wakes up, realizes he was
dreaming, proceeds to the masjid.
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:51
			To his utter surprise, the same
woman with the same tray of dates
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:53
			he finds standing outside the
masjid,
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			she says, Give this to Amirul
mumini, and Omar request him to
		
00:11:57 --> 00:12:00
			distribute it amongst the
companions. After salah, he goes
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:04
			to Omar. Omar places one in his
mouth. Ali experiences the same
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			sweetness that he experienced in
his dream. And he said, Sidney,
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:11
			Amir al Munin, omir al muminin,
give me another one. Omar smiles
		
00:12:11 --> 00:12:16
			at him and says, Lozada Kal Habib
lazika, that if My Habib salasam
		
00:12:16 --> 00:12:20
			had given you another one, I also
would have given you another one.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:25
			He mentions this incident under
the explanation of this hadith. It
		
00:12:25 --> 00:12:30
			fear the inner wisdom that Allah
gives a mukmin because he looks
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:31
			with the Nora Allah.
		
00:12:34 --> 00:12:38
			Engaging ourselves in acquiring
the knowledge of deen is not a
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:42
			waste of time. Our understanding
or perception of what is akala
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:46
			intelligence and and what is the
true reality of Akala
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:48
			intelligence, that is something
else
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:54
			the whole world of those who have
not recognized Allah on one side,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:00
			and one person with iman, with
weak Iman, this person is like a
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			person with sight the entire
world, whether it's Einstein or
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:08
			Newton or the intelligence of our
time, if they have not recognized
		
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09
			Allah, they are blind.
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:14
			They occur and intelligence put
together is not equal to the
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:17
			intelligence of this one person
with weak Iman
		
00:13:19 --> 00:13:24
			and the and the tragedy and the
travesty that is facing us today,
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:27
			my respected brothers, is that the
people
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:34
			people would sight in one eye are
asking the blind people to guide
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:34
			them.
		
00:13:35 --> 00:13:41
			Teach us what is culture. Teach us
what is advancement. Teach us how
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:45
			to conduct ourselves. Teach us
what our home should be, teach us
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:51
			what our family values. Teach us
what is akhlaq and character the
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:55
			person with sight is asking the
blind man to guide him.
		
00:13:56 --> 00:14:01
			How is he ever going to gain
guidance? As if we have no Imam,
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:06
			as if we have no Hadi, as if we
have no rahbar, Muhammad,
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alaihi
wasallam, where the poet says,
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:14
			afalat shumu sul abushan Allah
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			tagrubu, the sons, the sources of
light and guidance of the nations
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			of the past have set, but our son,
our source of light and guidance,
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			Muhammad, Rasulullah, sallAllahu,
alayhi wa sallam, qamat will come,
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:31
			but his light will not set.
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:36
			Qamit will come, but his light
will not set. Sacheena, this ummat
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:40
			was given, and yet still we are
looking elsewhere, the Ummat of
		
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45
			the Quran, the Ummat of Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:49
			sallam today is measuring its
achievement in other avenues.
		
00:14:51 --> 00:14:55
			What greater injustice, what
greater oppression can there be?
