Allahu Allah will you know last year in Washington in Abuja, Mohammed Abdul Hora sudo Mustafa I
mean, la Mussolini was selling MOBOTIX optical rasool Allah Muhammad, what are the early he was big,
bad Welcome to another episode of Attersee page by page on the shallow to Allah today we are on page
number 63 of the Quran which is towards the beginning of the fourth just sorta too early Imran. In
the previous episode we spoke about how Allah azza wa jal mentioned a number of issues concerning
		

			relief in the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and that is that Allah azza wa jal spoke about how
some people rejected the prophets of Allah while he was salam, because of certain arguments that
they made or certain beliefs that they held, for example, that there is no such thing as abrogation
between one prophet and the next. And Allah as origin, dismisses that within the verses that we
mentioned yesterday. Also Allah subhanaw taala spoke about the importance of following the Prophet
Ibrahim Ali salatu salam in the way that is his true message and that is in believing in Islam and
having to hate and worshipping Allah azza wa jal alone, and that Allah subhanaw taala spoke about
		

			the the sanctity and the aggressive nature of the city of Mecca. How it was the Haram was the or the
karma was the first house of Allah azza wa jal to be built for worship, and how it is therefore an
and compulsory act of worship. For those who have the ability that they meet pilgrimage at least
once in a lifetime, to the house of Allah subhanho wa taala.
		

			Allah azza wa jal in today's verses that we're going to be taking will speak about the importance of
remaining steadfast and firm and united upon the religion of Allah subhanaw taala and the different
things that a person needs to do in order to be able to maintain that. We begin with verse 102. And
that is the statement of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. There will be Allah human a shape on the regime.
Yeah, a new hullavington tabula haka. toccata he moved on.
		

			To Muslim on are you who believe me Be mindful of Allah as he says, do and make sure you devote
yourselves to him to a dying moment? Allah subhanaw taala begins by giving us this instruction. And
that begins with a call to the people of iman. And Allah azza wa jal addresses me a new and every
believer and he says, Oh you who believe or people of faith, and as the Companions used to say that
when Allah azza wa jal makes this call, he addresses people in this way he calls out to the
believers than pay attention, because after it will either be a command or a prohibition, Allah azza
wa jal will tell us something that we should do, or something that we should stay away from. So here
		

			Allah subhanaw taala makes a similar call and then he gives the command it hola haka. Takata. Fear
Allah, in the way that you should be feared as this is due in the manner that is befitting to him
subhanho wa Taala fear Allah azza wa jal, this word and this concept of Taqwa of Allah subhanaw
taala is essentially to do everything which is pleasing to Allah azza wa jal, and to stay away from
everything which is displeasing from Allah subhanaw taala, displeasing to Allah subhana wa Tada or
some of the scholars said, it is to erect between yourself and the punishment of Allah a barrier. So
every time you do a good deed, if you imagine that the fire of * is between us, or there is
		

			nothing between us and the fire of *. So our job in this life is to build a wall and a barrier
that will save us from that fire. And so with every good deed that you do, you place a brick in that
wall, and the more that you do, the bigger the world, the stronger the world, the greater the world,
the more reinforced that wall. And so your life's mission, if you'd like is to do this is to build
this wall, so that inshallah Tada when you come and stand before Allah azza wa jal and human piano,
that word will be sufficient in terms of saving you from the punishment of the fire.
		

			So Taqwa is something which is often often it is often translated as fear of Allah, mindfulness of
Allah, being conscious of Allah subhanaw taala, having piety of Allah azza wa jal, all of these are
words that are similar in meaning. And all of them are components of Taqwa. Because in order for you
to truly have taqwa, you must have a level of fear Allah of Allah azza wa jal because you're trying
to save yourself from the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala. In order to have Taqwa you must be
mine.
		

			Full of Allah azza wa jal unconscious of him, because how else can you make sure and ensure that to
the best of your ability each and every single day, you're coming closer to Allah subhanaw taala. So
when you're presented with a situation you will find yourself in a scenario and you have two
choices, or multiple choices. One of them brings you closer to Allah azza wa jal and others take you
away from ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. It is the component of Taqwa. It is that sense of consciousness
within you the inner consciousness, that remembrance and mindfulness of Allah azza wa jal that makes
you stop and pause and think it's the one that tells you wait a minute, if I do this, yes, I may get
		

			some temporary benefit, I may get some enjoyment, it may be something that my heart desires Perotti
money, it will week that one that barrier, which is between me and the fire of heart. But if I give
it up, if I sacrifice if I leave it for the sake of Allah azza wa jal, I am strengthening that wall.
And the more that I live off for the sake of Allah azza wa jal, and the more that I do, have the
good for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala, the easier it becomes, the more proficient I become, the
more experienced that I become. And with that time and experience, I become more proficient in what
it is that I'm trying to do, just like a builder. First person that comes and builds a wall, it's
		

			the first time has never built a wall before that was going to be slightly crooked. It's going to be
slightly difficult. It's going to have problems in it, it's going to have weaknesses in it, because
he's never built a wall by himself before. But the fifth time, the 10th time, the 100th time. He's
now a master builder. So likewise, we have to train ourselves Taqwa isn't just something that's as
unfortunately some Muslims do. Once a week on Jamar they practice a bit of Taqwa by going to the
mission for Jamar don't pray for the rest of the week. It's not a once in a year thing, Ramadan
okay, this show a better taco and for the rest of the year we forget about Allah azza wa jal and his
		

			rights. It's not a once in a lifetime thing, that when I go for Umrah or hajj I will be good but
otherwise no. Taqwa is something which requires a daily struggle. And that is when Allah azza wa jal
doesn't say just have Taqwa of Allah. He says to Kati, in the way that is his right and due to him
subhanaw taala. And what is his right and do is that every single day, you fulfill your obligation
to stay away from the prohibitions of Allah subhanaw taala every day you will, you're completing
your prayers every day. You have good o'clock and character every day you're fulfilling your
responsibilities. Every day you're staying away from haram. Every day you're someone who is
		

			conscious of Allah azza wa jal and making remembrance of Allah subhanaw taala and reading the Quran
and learning your religion and as and when those different acts of worship become obligatory upon
you like this occur, what is the month of Ramadan, or you have the ability now to perform hajj and
umrah those things kick in and then you are also from those people who are conscious and mindful of
them, and you perform those and fulfill those obligations that Allah azza wa jal has made clear to
you. This is the first way therefore, from the greatest ways of turning to Allah azza wa jal, or
coming closer to Allah spent the remaining firm and steadfast upon this religion is to have the
		

			Taqwa of Allah azza wa jal, the second way Allah subhanaw taala tells us what I term will tuna, it
allow us to Muslim own and do not die. Accepting the state meanings not a one day marathon or a one
day sprint is not a two day fast race. The issue of Taqwa and of staying steadfast is a marathon
that spreads across your life until death. That's this concept that sometimes some of us have, that
is just about the short race Ramadan, we'll do a lot and then the rest of the it's okay, I would go
for Umrah or Hajj once or twice in my lifetime, and I will just seek forgiveness then ask Allah for
Toba. And then it's okay. That's not a concept. That is a good concept of mindset to have, because
		

			it is dangerous. Number one, you have no guarantee that you will reach from above that you will ever
make courage that you will have the ability to make Amara how many people had that plan, and they
died before they could how many people had that plan. And when the time actually came, they didn't
have the ability anymore, financially, physically, whatever it may be, their circumstances changed.
Don't be like those people who are deceived by shaytaan but rather work actively and know that this
life is a test and the test remains until the moment of death. Death is the end of the test. Before
that, there is no ending you are still in the phase and the and the place of being tested and
		

			trying. So number two is understand this reality and therefore what each and every single day for
your accurate and for the next slide number three, from the greatest ways in which you can come
closer to Allah subhanaw taala remain steadfast is to be united, united with others united as
Muslims and united in motto Allah azza wa jal says, What does it mean to be Hubballi? Learn Jimmy or
whatever for Rocco with corrodium Atala era come with going to Florida for 11 million Apollo become
false back to Mr. Murthy he Juana Welcome to either shefa 14 million
		

			Father caminha the daddy can you be new hola hola que tienen la comida don't invest 103 Allah azza
wa jal says and hold fast to Allah's rope or together and do not split into factions. Remember
Allah's favor upon you your enemies, and then he bought your hearts together and you became brothers
by His grace, you're about to fall into a pit of the fire and he saved you from it in this way, make
Allah azza wa jal makes his revelations clear to you. So that you may be amongst the rightly guided
Allah azza wa jal says the from the greatest reason remaining steadfast is to all unite together and
unite together with other Muslims and Muslims shouldn't be united, having brothers and sisters
		

			around you, that encourage you from your family, from your friends, from your from the people in the
congregation that you attend in the masjid. These people around you that that advise you, they
support you, you see them, you will inspired you want to come closer to Allah azza wa jal, they
remind you of Allah subhanaw taala through their words, through their actions through their
character through the interactions, those are the people that we want to be surrounded by. But Allah
subhanaw taala gives us an important caveat here is that this unity can't be unity for the sake of
unity. It can't be unity upon anything more everything it has to be upon, or with the rope of Allah
		

			subhanaw taala and the rope of Allah azza wa jal is the Quran. The rope of Allah azza wa jal is
following the Sunnah of the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam, the rope of Allah azza wa jal is
doing what Allah commands you in the way that he legislated. Whether its Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam legislated. And so yes, we often hear that Muslims should be united, united, united, but
we don't often unite because each person is according to their own thing. And humans by their very
nature, everyone has their own ideas. Everyone has their own understanding, everyone has their own
levels of experience and wisdom. And so everyone will become disunited, unless we have a foundation
		

			upon which we can unite that we can all come and agree upon. And that has to be the Quran. It has to
be the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and that is why Allah azza wa jal says,
Hold fast together. But don't just stop on anything or to thin air or just because you're related or
friends, no, but to the book of Allah azza wa jal, and that is what made the companion special and
unique in that sense, because they will all people who understood this concept, one of them's an
arrow, the other ones are missing in the third one's a polar Persian, the fourth one's a bison,
bison chin Roman. There's people from different levels of of society people, rich people, poor
		

			people, slaves, people free, all of these people come together and they united, United because they
understand that we have to stick to the Quran and the Sunnah. And because they have that common goal
and that common if you like constitution between them, then the United and as soon as people came
in, some people started to ignore parts of the Quran, or parts of the Sunnah change parts of the
religion, then the Ummah began to split into factions. And that is when Allah azza wa jal warns
against what for Rocco, for me, I knew practically in our time, it's not possible for us to unite
the whole Ummah, necessarily, it's not our responsibility within our power to unite all of the
		

			billions strong Muslims across the world. But what I can do and ensure is that for me, my family,
the people that are close to me, my community, we understand this concept of understanding the Quran
and the Sunnah. We learn together, we grow together, we worship Allah azza wa jal together, we
better ourselves and our communities and societies together. And that is through following the Quran
and the Sunnah. And to the best of our ability, one to four Rocco, we do not become disunited. We
don't become people of different factions, and so on. And that doesn't mean by the way, that
everyone has to think the same way. Be the Same way look the same way. No, that's not the meaning of
		

			this verse. Because the sharing allows for people to express their individuality in ways that are
Halak. Some people like the companions are different personalities. One is more soft, one is more
harsh. One is more strict, one is more lenient, that's people's personalities. People have their
personalities in terms of the way that they're going to study and do stuff. But the general
community is united upon a foundation. And those differences those variances we need, we need people
who are stronger in some disciplines over others, and those others that have their role to play in
other disciplines. This is how the community becomes strengthened in and of itself. Allah azza wa
		

			jal then says And remember, the favor of Allah upon you redressing the companions of the prophets of
Allah, what are you selling, but in particular, the people of the unsought of Medina is going to
murder and laughably knockaloe become when you amongst yourselves used to be enemies to one another.
And Allah azza wa jal says, for a live webinar called OB company brought your hearts together,
because even amongst the Muslims, will those who would like to become Muslims before the stand came
to them. People in families had problems with one another. tribes had problems with one another. The
people that were living in the same city had problems with one another. We know for example, in
		

			Medina, the people who would later become the unsolved those companions who became the unsolved
predominantly came from two major tribes in Medina, the OST and the huzzah Raj and these people
before
		

			or Islam were in civil war and strife, they would fight and kill one another, even though they kind
of related, they are from the greater kind of tribe. They related this marriage between them this
transaction and they live in the same city together. When I say city, I don't mean a city like
London, or New York, which is massive the cities of the time, in the time of the prophets of Allah,
what are you sending? A city is relatively small, we would call it more like a hamlet, or a very
small town. Everyone knows everyone, everyone sees everyone. It's like one of those small little
towns that you get in places across the world where it's not a city where if you're living on one
		

			side of the city, to the next, you're not really going to know those people. There's like millions
of people or 1000s 10s of 1000s of people. No, these are very small cities in the time of the
prophets of Allah. Why are you sending everyone knows everyone? Everyone's familiar with everyone.
And so when the strife, disunity, civil tension that's going to play out across the whole city. And
that is how the awesome the hustler dwell on Allah Azza wa COVID says, look at the blessing of Allah
azza wa jal that he caused you to not unite your hearts to be softened. But the question is, how did
they unite upon what did they unite? What caused their hearts to be softened? And we know the answer
		

			to that that was when they accepted Islam, when they understood the beauty of this religion, when
they follow the Quran, and they follow the Prophet sallallahu he was sent them a laughably Nakula
will become so you, your hearts are softened towards one another false back to minute matiee Juana
and you became by His grace brothers to one another. So now from people who are enemies, people who
don't like one another, people who have issues and strife and beef with one another, they become
extremely close, extremely close. Not only that, are they good with one another, but they're able to
welcome in those Maha Julene those migrants from Makkah, who are now coming to settle within the
		

			city and we know the many stories that are mentioned concerning how the unsolved opened up their
doors, and welcome their fellow Muslim brothers when they migrated from Mecca has some of them would
give to them from their wealth, or would give to them from their business and their property. They
allowed them to stay with one another at the beginning of that period, that you would even inherit
from one another before Allah azza wa jal changed the law. And so they became extremely close. And
that is what Brotherhood is Brotherhood is when you come together, you invited upon one ideal, one
basis, one foundation, and that is the Quran and the Sunnah. And together that collectively you help
		

			one another you work with one another, to come closer to Allah subhanaw taala. Because the trials of
the dunya and the many temptations that lead us away from Allah azza wa jal are many. And so we need
support, we need help, we need advice, advice, we need people to come and to stand by our side, and
when we're falling when we fallen down, to lift us up, and to strengthen us and to give us reminders
and so on. And that is the beauty of the Brotherhood of Islam. That is why Brotherhood is such an
important concept. In this religion. If you have it, then it is something which is beneficial for
you. Allah azza wa jal says And remember, you're about to fall into the pit of the fire and deceived
		

			you from it because they were disbelievers and Allah azza wa jal then guided them to scam. This is
our largest mixes revelations clear in the next verse, Allah subhanaw taala then 1000s In verse 100,
on for what it took home in consumer to either own
		

			Motorola nebulous, Metro Wolfie way and how now I need one cow. We're all
		

			in one big community that calls for what is good, urgent, what is right for bench what is one, and
those who do this are the successful ones. Allah azza wa jal says the from the greatest ways of
remaining steadfast is within every community, the people of that community, the Muslims,
individuals need to be people who stand up for what is right. They need to be people who remind they
need to be people who urge others to do good. And they need to be people who when they see wrong,
oppression, evil, they speak out. And this is something which we're losing across the world, in our
communities today. Because of the very individual, individual, individual type of life that we live.
		

			We're very, very much it's about me and my family and no one else or if I see something, I don't
really want to interfere with someone else's personal space in their personal issues. Whereas
really, the way that the Muslims should be is that we should be advising one another. And because we
don't, we've allowed within our communities I'm not speaking about the general wider non Muslim
community, even within us, our families, our communities, our misogyny, we see people doing wrong
and no one says anything. No one bats an eyelid no one speaks out and no one corrects no one
advises, and that is something which then weakens the whole community. Allah azza wa jal says, Be an
		

			ummah, a community, a nation that calls to good enjoins the God forbids the evil. And that is the
path of success. Because therefore people know that if I do something wrong openly, I'm going to be
called out. If I don't do something that I should be doing, someone's going to pull me up and say,
Why are you doing this? And when you have this within the community, it is something which
strengthens everyone, invest 100
		

			Five Allah azza wa jal then says Walter Kuno can live in a tougher Roku telephone mean by the
manager who will be in at what gala whom either win or win. Do not be like those who after they have
been given clear revelation, they split into factions and falling into disputes. A terrible
punishment awaits such people. Allah subhanaw taala said, don't be like those people who wants
they've been given the revelation. They know this is the Quran, this is the Sunnah, they're going to
split, they're going to defer and destroy it. And often, that disunity that differing is because
people allow their egos to come into the discussion, pride, jealousy, enmity, all of these different
		

			issues that come up. And so that prevents us from accepting the truth. It prevents us from being
united, because someone wants to be in charge. The other person wants to have influence the third
person wants his position known and everyone to follow Him. And so when this starts to happen,
that's going to be a problem. Whereas what we're told is everyone's ego, everyone's emotions,
everyone's feelings, everyone's wants and needs. We are secondary to what we find in the Quran and
the Sunnah, if they are in accordance, strict and Hamdulillah, all well and God and if not, then we
part of our submission and devotion to Allah azza wa jal is that we turn back to Allah subhanaw
		

			taala. But when the Ummah becomes disunited, when people become disunited and divided, it weakens
the collective whole and that then becomes a problem.
		

			Allah azza wa jal then gives us this reminder in the next couple of verses concerning yomo piano. In
verse 106, Allah azza wa jal says, no matter what your boo, what is, what do you do for a Molina's?
What would you hope for tomorrow, the Imani conferred upon either but further upon either Bobby
Malcolm tomtec foreknown. On the Day when some faces faces brighten, and others darken. It will be
set to those with darkened faces. How could you reject your faith AFTER BELIEVING taste to torment
for doing so? Allah subhanaw taala then says that based upon these actions, and what you do to be
steadfast and if you can remain steadfast until death, as opposed to those who don't remain
		

			steadfast to turn away, who reject to disbelief, they will come and the day of judgment and they're
there they will be split into two groups, the people of happiness and the people of, of
wretchedness, the people of happiness, the faces will be illuminated and brightened. And the people
of wretchedness their faces will be darkened. As for those whose faces are darkened, it will be set
to them. How could you reject faith AFTER BELIEVING so now taste the punishment for for the choices
that you made? And so Allah azza wa jal will punish them. Because they didn't do those things. They
didn't follow the Quran. They didn't follow the Sunnah. They didn't have Taqwa of Allah azza wa jal.
		

			They didn't stay firm upon this religion. They didn't remain united upon the Quran and the Sunnah,
the split and the different and they didn't call to what Allah azza wa jal is pleased with. And so
because of that, Allah subhanaw taala. When they rejected Allah azza wa jal in his religion, Allah
subhanaw taala will darken their faces on the day of judgment, and they will be punished as opposed
to those whose faces will be eliminated. As Allah azza wa jal then says in verse 107.
		

			What a man living in Abuja, but would you home for fear Rahmatullah him via the dune but those with
brightened faces, they will be in Allah's mercy, and they will be there to remain forever. Allah
azza wa jal says that as for those who did remain steadfast They did have Taqwa of Allah azza wa
jal, they did remain firm upon the Quran and the Sunnah, they did call to God and enjoin the good
and forbid the evil. Allah subhanaw taala says that they will have the Mercy of Allah and Allah azza
wa jal says he had they would have his mercy and the mercy of Allah subhanaw taala is every type of
good, every type of reward every type of blessing from our Lord and Creator Subhana wa Tada Allah
		

			azza wa jal says that you will be given essentially therefore, the gardens of Paradise with all of
the of the blessings and all of the of the, the enjoyments and beauties that Allah azza wa jal has
placed within Jana for the believers.
		

			In verse 108, Allah subhanaw taala then says to Korea to Allah you need to know how are they Camille
Hapa mama Allah julio de de Juan Manuel and I mean, these are Allah's revelations will recite them
to you with the truth, and Allah does not do justice to any of his creation. Allah azza wa jal says
that these verses that you hear from the stories that Allah azza wa jal mentions to you in the
Quran, from these types of advices that Allah azza wa jal gives these principles that ALLAH SubhanA
data is given to you. All of this is the truth from your Lord. Allah azza wa jal has made clear for
you the path to salvation, the path to success. If you hold on to that success than Allah onto that
		

			path, then Allah azza wa jal will grant you that success. And if you turned away, if you're
negligent, if you're heedless, if you're not mindful of Allah azza wa jal, you don't have the Taqwa
of Allah subhanaw taala. Then Allah azza wa jal has no
		

			Meet of anyone from this creation. And so Allah azza wa jal has made the path clear. And Allah azza
wa jal has told us not only what the path is, but how to be firm and steadfast upon that path,
perchance that those of us who understand the Quran and the Sunnah Allah azza wa jal will give us
the grace and the ability and the Tofik to stay steadfast on that path. And to be amongst those
people who remain upon that path until the time of death. May Allah azza wa jal grant has granted to
me and to you and to our families and to our loved ones. And to all of the believers and we then we
come to the end of today's episode, medical lofi come with some of the who are going to be the
		

			Muhammad did one or the other he was happy. He said Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato
Bismillah. Mind me
