			in verse 105 of surah to marry the loss of power subhanho wa Taala says, Yeah, you have levena am
and we're Aleikum and fusa come loyal don't recommend Bala, either to datum or you who believe take
responsibility for your own selves. You will not be harmed by those who are misguided so long as you
are guided. This verse contains many benefits. Many points that we could discuss many principles.
But in the short time that we have available to us today, I want to bring to your attention to
principles that we take from this verse of the Quran, the Surah Surah two neither this verse, the
one that I just recited, Allah azza wa jal gives to us two principles. The first of those principles
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:31
			is the principle that we find that the opening portion of this verse are you who believe take
responsibility for your own selves. That is the principle in our religion, that each and every
single one of us is ultimately responsible for ourselves, our deeds, our actions, our thoughts, our
speech, our words, what I do, I will be held to account for and what you do, you will be held to
account for what it is you Rajaratnam is rah rah, no person will bear the burden or the sin of
another. You will not be asked about me and your multi Yama and I will not be asked about your
normal piano. I am not responsible for the community of Muslims for the 1 billion plus Muslims
		
00:02:31 --> 00:03:10
			across the world, let alone the other billions of non Muslims. I am responsible initially primarily
for myself and you are responsible for yourself. That is a principle in our religion. We are
responsible for those that are under our responsibility, our care, so long as they remain under our
care our responsibility that falls within this verse, Allah azza wa jal says, You will live in
harmony, to and full circle metallicum nowra are you who believe Save yourselves your families from
the fire, and the Prophet told us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam could look morar in wakulla comas all
on Android, and yet, every one of you is a shepherd, every one of you is responsible for your flock.
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:48
			This principle in our religion is extremely important generally, but especially in the situation
that we find ourselves in today. Our situation currently in this country where or in a local
lockdown, perhaps a large soldier knows best maybe even very soon another national lockdown. It is a
situation where we find ourselves in a difficult circumstance, difficult, hard challenges that come
across us when we're in these restricted circumstances. But one of the things that you find within
the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. One of the things that you find
if you study the lives of the companions, or the Allah who mentioned Marian and the lives of the
		
00:03:48 --> 00:04:26
			scholars of the past, is that in times of difficulty, they will see opportunity. Yes, the
circumstances are difficult, they're different. But within difficulty, a large region for the
believer always pleases opportunity. One of those opportunities that we have in this current
situation, is to pay attention more to this principle, to be more concerned about ourselves and
where we're going, what we've achieved and what we have left to achieve. If we were to pass away
today or tomorrow, how would we stand before the Lord so in general, what state would we stand
before our Lord and creator subhanho wa Taala. And they come in full circle, take responsibility for
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:59
			yourselves, when we're restricted in terms of our social activities, when we're told don't mix with
other household when many of us are still probably working from home, when we're not in the normal
routine, and the distractions of the dunya that we would normally be engaged in. That is an
opportunity that a large soldier has placed before us, does Allah subhanaw taala in the Quran tell
us in Surah Yusuf when the proper use of aluminium is placed in prison, unfairly unjustly, but he
sees an opportunity with his fellow inmates, to give them the power to Allah to call them to Islam,
to tell them
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:39
			About two thirds of alar zildjian. The believer finds opportunity even in difficult circumstances.
So in the circumstance that we find ourselves in, when you have more time more opportunity to learn,
and the avenues of learning are open before you online and all the classes that go on from this
machine and from other places as well, you have an opportunity to spend more time in the book of
Allah azza wa jal to improve on your Quran reading that you've wanted to do for so many years. But
because of work because of this, because of you have been unable to do so. You have an opportunity
now, to spend more of your time embedding within your daily routine, that of car of the morning and
		
00:05:39 --> 00:06:16
			the evening, and the different car of the day and the night, you have an opportunity now to work on
your Salah, to understand your Salah and what you're reading, to make sure that you're praying
correctly, to learn and to ensure that you're praying the sooner prayers before and after the follow
up. You have an opportunity now to learn about your religion. Something that you've always wanted to
read, to know to learn to study. Allah zildjian has given you that opportunity. And the Prophet told
us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that no two feet of a child of Adam will move from in front of their
Lord or normal piano until Allah azza wa jal asks them about five things and from those five is how
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:54
			they spent their life, the time that they were afforded with the opportunities that were presented
to them, what they did with them. So Allah subhanaw taala gives to this gives to us this important
principle. If you were to look at the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, you see the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taking opportunity. And that's what you find even within his
life having Salatu was salam, despite the immense difficulties that he was facing. Despite the
magnanimity of the challenges that were occurring in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam, he's being persecuted and tortured and exiled from his homeland, and they're fighting in
		
00:06:54 --> 00:07:30
			wars, and so many things are going on. But still, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has time
to improve in his worship with Allah subhanaw taala. Still, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
has time and more time that he finds in the study of the Quran and to teach his companions or the
Allahu hanumantha. Marian is still not prophet son alone. He was cinemas time to serve his family,
to look after the poor and the needy, to look after the welfare of the orphans and the widows in his
community, his son, Allahu Allah, He will send them that's what the Muslim does in this type of
situation, because they understand this principle, that when they come to stand before Allah
		
00:07:30 --> 00:08:10
			subhanaw taala, Allah azza wa jal won't ask you what the NHS said to you, or what the doctor said to
you, or whatever or else Allah azza wa jal asked is primarily what we did with the circumstances
that we were dealt with. In those circumstances, there is an opportunity to exam to come closer to
Allah subhana wa Tada. And so the prophets of Allah Allahu Salatu was salam, despite the difficulty
of their circumstances, and more or less without exception in the Quran. More or less. Every single
story of the prophets of Allah in the Quran is a story of trial and difficulty, with a trial with
illness, with a trial with family, with a trial with loss, made a trial with their nations and the
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:49
			people who just believed in them and rejected them. There are stories of trials, but within those
stories of trials, you will always find Allah subhanaw taala, highlighting what the Prophet did and
how they exalt, it may be in their worship of Allah siljan. It may be in their patients, it may be
in their gratitude. It may be in their outlook and their son and their taqwa of Allah subhanaw
taala. But Allah always stresses that point within the Quran. So when we have those similar
circumstances, Allah azza wa jal tells us to focus on what is important and one of the opportunities
that these current situations provide us with is a chance and an opportunity to refocus. to refocus
		
00:08:49 --> 00:09:12
			on that important principle. Are they come in full circle? Full and foster coma? alikum Nara, take

			smilla he will handle de la salatu salam ala rasulillah. On early he was talking to a woman while
also limit the Sleeman kathira amabel. The second principle that we take from this verse 105 of
certain money, there is a second portion of the verse or the Roman Bala in the datum. You will not
be harmed by those who are misguided so long as you remain guided. One of the misunderstandings
concerning this verse is that people are sometimes we are told oh you may think that this verse that
means that I don't have to worry about anyone else. I don't have to enjoin the good of the evil. I
don't have to worry about anyone else. Their path is their path. They choose what they choose. They
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:00
			do what they do, and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:36
			That's not my issue. That is what the correct understanding of this verse. The correct understanding
is that when Alonzo vigil says that you will not be harmed by the misguidance of those so long as
you are guided by the misguidance of those who are misguided so long as you are guided, part of that
guidance is that you weren't good for others. So you are responsible for the people that are under
your care. You're responsible for enjoining the good and forbidding the evil. You're responsible for
those people that you have some influence over. Whether that be within your family or your neighbors
or your friends, you are responsible for helping them in in joining them with God forbidding them
		
00:10:36 --> 00:11:14
			from evil, guiding them towards what is beneficial for them. And this is mentioned in the duration
of their Warden and autonomy. They've been manager. Basically behind him he says that when Abubakar
Allah one first assumed that he lava became the Hadith of the Muslims. He said, Oh people you read
this verse, the one that I recited to of surah man either, but I heard the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

homeopathy, Minh, if the people see oppression, and they don't stop it amongst their midst, perhaps
Allah xojo will destroy all of them with a punishment from him. subhana wa Tada. So there is still
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:50
			responsibility that is based upon our shoulders. But when you remember that your first priority is
yourself. And part of that prioritizing yourself is enjoying the good and forbidding the evil within
your family and around yourselves as much as possible. Then you combine between those two way
principles that are a large soldier mentions within the Quran, because just as these circumstances
give us an affordance opportunities, they also bring for the straps of shavon because now that you
have more time, you have more opportunity to waste that time, more time to spend on TV more time to
spend online on social media, more time spending, just wasting days and those days are turning into
		
00:11:50 --> 00:12:30
			weeks and months. And only Allah knows how long this continues for. The way of the scholars of the
past is that they will take those opportunities that Allah subhanaw taala gave to them and use them
in the most beneficial of ways. So large social tells us to focus on these two principles because
they encapsulate for us the principles of success if we focus on what is important and prioritize
ourselves in terms of what we need to do to attain a large reward. And then we focus on those around
us by enjoying the good forbidding the evil doing what we can in the way that we can. Allah subhanaw
taala tells us that that is the path to success as a large zildjian raise Most Beautiful Names and
		
00:12:30 --> 00:13:00

guided and that Allah subhanaw taala shows His mercy and blessings upon us that Allah subhanaw taala
gives us keeps us and our families and our community see from the larger lifts from us and from all
the people of this world, this disease that we're currently facing, may Allah subhanaw taala make
our fears easy for us and will allow us to protect our lives and our livelihoods, our families and
