			one of the most common commands of Allah is the origin in the Quran to me and you is the command
that we should think that we should ponder that we should reflect that we should contemplate. It is
mentioned in calculus versus throughout the Quran. Remember Ibrahim Rahim Allah, Allah mentioned in
one of his works, that the essence of all good and all evil is a thought from that thought, you are
motivated to worship Allah and obey Him or to disobey Him from the thought. You love some money, you
hate someone from that thought you become attached to something or you distance yourself from
something, it all comes back to the thought. And that is why throughout the Quran in different ways
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:47
			and using different terms, Allah azza wa jal tells us to be people who think and reflect not people
who only look for people who see and observe. Allah zildjian says in the Quran, Allah mercy refill
oral, for young muraki, for can earthly but to live in, I mean, complain to them or travel upon the
earth so that they may see the result of those nations that came before them. People who observe
people who don't just walk by idly without thinking and pondering and reflecting, but people who
when they look, they see and they observe, and people who when they hear they listen, in Navy
radicals in the omegas Maroon, indeed within that there are signs for people who listen, not only
		
00:02:47 --> 00:03:30
			people who use their senses to observe what is around them, but then they think about what they
observe. They go that step further and they think large zildjian says polhill yester Willa Will
Vasil affair Latifah Curran say hello those who are blind equal to those who can see, do you not
think, to think, to ponder, to reflect, to go the deeper level of contemplating not just to think
but to sit there and to deeply reflect over what is the deeper meaning of what it is that you're
thinking about? Allah azza wa jal says in relation to the Quran of Allah to the balloon and Quran,
do they not contemplate and reflect over the Quran? People who when they think deeply and they
		
00:03:30 --> 00:04:10
			reflect and contemplate, they take the lessons that Allah has placed in the Quran, they take those
lessons in those principles and they apply them within their own lives. They use them as a way to
come closer to Allah and to strengthen the Eman in Allah azza wa jal, Alonzo JAL says in an
interview that he color Ableton Live audio labs are indeed within that there are signs for people of
understanding why, because when you observe, and when you listen, and when you think and when you
reflect and contemplate and when you draw those lessons, and you apply them within your own life.
There are times when your Eman is weak, or times when shape time overcomes you or times when you're
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:54
			tempted to sin, you are reminded of a large religion. You remember your Lord and creator in the
levina taco era massamba infamous shaytaan de Kuru for either who moves Iran in the those who are
conscious of Allah. When shavon prompts them tempts them comes to touch them with sin. They remember
the Lord and they see what is correct and straight. They are reminded of the Lord, because there are
people who when they walk, they don't just pass things by when they observe, they take lessons from
them. When they read, and they hear. They don't just read and hear without contemplation. And that
isn't the time that we live in counter intuitive. It is something that we've become disengaged from
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			and lost that connection with because we live in a fast paced age. We live in a place
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			Send a time when there is instant access to information at the click of a button or the swipe of a
screen, you can access anything. So when someone tells you, as Allah does in the Quran to stop, to
think, to reflect, it is difficult to do to find that time and build it within your routine, that
you don't just walk around like a machine or a robot to some type of implement, but you stop and you
think and you observe, that is what makes the difference between us and the other creations upon
this earth. The other species that Allah has created, we are people who understand, we are people
who reflect we are a creation, that when those lessons come to us, we take from them benefit, and we
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:17
			apply them within our lives. So a large region in the Quran in his book, he tells us the number of
things that we should reflect over, versus dispersed throughout the Quran. And I will want to
mention a number of them for you. Things that when we see us that surround us every day, the things
that we come into contact with, they are things that when we see them, we hear them, we observe
them, they should make a stop and they should make us ponder. From the greatest of those things that
are larger which are mentioned in the Quran, that we should reflect upon and contemplate over is the
universe, the creation of Allah azza wa jal from the heavens to the earth, from the seas and the
		
00:06:17 --> 00:07:00
			mountains and the rivers and the trees, from the animals and the birds and everything that Allah has
created within this universe. Well who will live the mud the larva? * Luffy How was your one

amazing question. They asked a mother of the believers, what is the most amazing thing that you saw
from the Prophet sallallahu while he was sitting? What an insightful question. When you have a
limited amount of time with someone have that type of knowledge, experience wisdom, you don't just
		
00:08:22 --> 00:09:04
			waste it on something insignificant. What is the most amazing thing that you saw in your time with
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam? They said the question made her cry, brought tears to her
eyes. And then she said that night the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said to me, Arusha, don't
disturb me this night. Leave me to worship My Lord. She said he began to pray and he cried. He cried
so much that his cheeks became what from his tears, and he continued to cry until his beard became

			Woe to those who read those verses, the final passage of surah earlier in Moran, and they don't
ponder over them. They don't contemplate. Allah says from the signs that are around you or those
that are sufficient for you that if you were to spend time thinking about them, they would remind
you of Allah, they would increase you in your Eman and they would strengthen your worship and your
relationship with your Lord and creator subhana wa Tada. So over and over again in the Quran, were
told to think about the creation of Allah. And then Allah azza wa jal specifies a type of creation
that we should give further for to further time and contemplation to and that is our own songs, our
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:58
			creation, me and you and the way that a large that will formed us, the way that Allah subhanaw taala

die, people who die suddenly people who die of old age people who die because of some accident or
some disease that has affected them, it makes us stop and ponder and think as well.

			So nobody Himalaya TNF alpha happy. Wolfie unfussy him had teletubby janella home and now we will
show them our signs in every region of the earth and within themselves, so that the truth will
become clear to them. Allah azza wa jal has given us those signs has given us everything that we
need for us to connect to our Lord and creator subhanho wa Taala. How often have we stopped to think
about the way the blood circulates around our bodies, and the way that our mind and our brain has
this amazing ability to process millions of pieces of information. However, memory works, however,
different organs and Body Works, our limbs, everything that Allah zildjian has placed within us to
		
00:13:22 --> 00:14:03
			lose a single one of those blessings from Allah subhanho wa Taala is debilitating, to be affected by
harm or pain in a single part of the body is something which stops you in your tracks and it's
difficult for you to continue to move a single tooth ache, a headache, a joint ache, is something
that you find it difficult to bear on a daily basis. That is how perfect Allah's creation is, but
that is how fragile we are as humans, so that we may reflect and think that thought may lead us back
to Allah subhanho wa Taala. And from that which Allah azza wa jal then tells us to think about is
the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon us, the blessings that Allah has given to me and you have
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:39
			not only our bodies and our health, but the ones that Allah has afforded to us. The peace and
security that we live in the families that are large, zildjian has bestowed upon us, our children,
our grandchildren, in some cases, all of the blessings that Allah has given to us. When if we were
to look across the world, as the brother was mentioning just before the hotbar, in many communities,
in many places around the world, even in places like Australia, where they're going through those

we read those verses of the Quran. And we come across those passages. We don't reflect those on a

prophets of Allah azza wa jal, and his messengers mentions the different trials that they went
through some of them with their nations, some of them personal to themselves, some of them with
their families and their loved ones. Every one of us can find the lesson within one of those
stories, if not all of them, something that resonates with me and my situation, a prophet of Allah,

are lessons for people who have understanding. But in order to produce those lessons, in order to
take benefit from them, you have to be from the people who think and that doesn't mean that none of
us have the ability to think none of us are unable to think or to contemplate. Instead, we haven't
trained our minds to do so. We don't spend enough time thinking about those things that are large.

limit the Sleeman kathira A man was the practice of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, and the companions of old and even our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that they
would read the Quran and they would ponder over its verses. They will be from amongst those people
who when they came across the Quran, we would spend time enjoying it recitation because they knew
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:46
			that it was for their betterment, that it was for the ultimate salvation, that from the science of
Eman is, as Allah mentions in the Quran. Those who when they hear the verses of the Quran, were
either totally, utterly him. That to me manner, when the verses of the Quran are revealed to them
and upon them and recited to them, they are those who increase in email. That increase of demand
comes not simply from listening and hearing because most of us can bear testament to the fact that
we've heard the Quran being recited and you recite it ourselves how often has led to a true
strengthening of Eman And that's because there is a missing ingredient and component. It is
		
00:23:46 --> 00:24:26
			something which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam would do as I mentioned in the hadith of Al
Shabaab, the Allah Wonga, but it was a common practice also from amongst the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Abdullah abass robiola, one woman said, to pray to rockers in
the night only tour occurs, in which you ponder and contemplate over your recitation is better than
to spend the whole night in prayer with a heart that is heedless, because the objective of the salon

			to the ruins, the old dwellings that were no longer inhabited. And he would stop and he would think,
and he would reflect, and he would say to himself in the air look, where are the dwellers of these
old buildings? Where are the inhabitants of these old lands? And he would remind them of the verse
and he would recite Colucci in Harlequin, illa wotja everything will be destroyed except for his
face. They would take the normal everyday surroundings as a way of bringing them closer to Allah

reached the time when the people will pass over the bridge over the fire. They will spend their time
contemplating and thinking it is not difficult to do but it is something that you must train
yourself to do to find 15 or 20 minutes when you stop, and you sit and you think, you read the
online and you contemplate you look at Allah's blessings upon you, Allah's creation around you. And
you think about the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon you and the lessons that you can derive
from them, that type of inner strength and spirituality. It makes your connection with the law
		
00:26:19 --> 00:26:30
			stronger and strengthens your Eman and at times when your Eman is weaken law. One of the most
effective ways of strengthening your Eman is to contemplate and to reflect and to think along
