Episode Notes
Zayd ibn Arqam said: I only say to you what the Prophet salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam used to say. He used to say: (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from inability, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, decrepitude, and the torment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it as You are the Best to purify it. You are its Supporter and its Master. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from non-beneficial knowledge, from an irreverent heart, from a dissatisfied soul, and from a duâa that goes unanswered)

Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah Allah Allah, he was happy
that hamdu lillahi Mohammed who want to stay in a one stop hero. When out of the villa I mean surely unforeseen, our CI Dr. Medina, Mia de la velomobiles ala omega Villa ha da da,
da da, de la vie de la sharika. One, Mohammed Abu Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
So we've nilla now we've reached Hadeeth, number 24.
And in handy 24, like we did with the just a reminder that we are in the second section of the book, right. And in the second section of the book, it is both theory and practice. So we're learning things in sha Allah, but we also learning things that, as always, it should be the case and we will see in sha Allah in this Hadith, we want to take them in prayer to practice. But in this Hadith, or in this section, of course, our focus is also on practice. So we're learning something, but learning something with the understanding that we want to apply the law in the upcoming week, and so on with every coming holidays until we conclude the 40 inshallah so in this Hadith, it's
like the previous hudy this is also
an image, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam is asking for things and seeking protection from things and when you actually consider them, they will be actually the basics of the obstacles that will keep you away from our last panel data. These are the things that are promising them is seeking refuge from protection from the basics of the obstacles that keep you away from our last panel data. And then the basics of the virtues that will take you to Allah subhana wa Tada. So these two things. So this hadith in a sense is comprehensive, and what it asks for and what seeks protection from so it's reported by Muslim or Muslim
whereas they do not cover all the love and who he says love hula Illa kana can also lie so a lot of us in the Maya hole I don't say to you, except exactly as with the prophets of Allah audio Salaam used to say that here here is emphasizing this is a hobbies emphasizing what I'm giving you what I'm repeating to you is exactly what I heard from the profits of the law. It was a lemon sometimes you hear this emphasis from the Sahaba to emphasize to illustrate that I'm giving to you exactly as I heard it does sometimes you can paraphrase. Sometimes you can remember through meaning but sometimes you remember exactly what that person has said and he's here saying this is exactly what he used to
say. So the law so can I afford us to save a lot do the arbic don't go back and do Arabic in English Allahumma India Oh, the weaker minute I'd see what gets
me
along it
was a key. Enter hi Romans.
And when do you have one Ola? Allahumma inni obika Amina in Lyon. Woman Calvin.

So he used to say sallallahu wasallam so this is part of his
allama India Oh the becoming an evil castle Oh Allah I seek your protection from
inability and caisson laziness.

Allahumma then now seeking protection from stuff now asking along the at university taqwa Allah give my soul it's tough. What was that key, give it its test key or give it a skier and test anti Roman zeca You're the best person to give it to the best one to give it to a skier. So give it this guy you are the best one to give it the skier and tell you how. You are a supporter and you are its master along the India.
seeking protection from Allah I seek your protection from a knowledge that is not beneficial in any given day and knowledge that is not beneficial.
Woman, Albania Yasha, and from a heart that has no for sure, no reverence to Allah subhanho wa Taala woman nesting
and from a self that is dissatisfied, never satisfied, when in doubt deny us the job Allah and from a DA that goes on answer is not accepted.
So
what is the profit? So a lot of you are
asking for seeking protection from some of these things we talked about before. So we'll talk about them again, just for emphasis. And so upon a lot with repetition, you sometimes discover new things, but he did not know about. So when the prophets of aloha to send him is seeking protection, the first thing is from an advocacy
as we explained before, his inability lazin I guess it is laziness. You will see that in this hadith and and other Hadees from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he joins these two things together. And
why are they joined together?
Because they're related, how are they related? Both of them, though, they are different, lead to the same thing. What is the same thing that may lead to
murison not doing, not doing something, not doing anything sometimes or not doing something that's what they lead to lack of action. Both of them lead to lack of action, but for different reasons. So when that person is unable,
the person has the desire to do or not.
There's only unable, he has the desire to do right. So he wants to do something, she wants to do something. What is missing?
ability, you don't have the ability, this could be physical ability, or it could be financial ability, or it could be both of them.
So this person has this desire to do something to please Allah subhanaw taala and worship Allah subhana wa Tada. But what is the thing that is missing, they don't have that ability.
So the result is, they're unable to do this thing. And Allah Subhana Allah, Allah tells us as just one example tells us in the Quran,
about people who came to the prophet SAW A lot of us in them. And a lot of panel data excuses them. He says, what a Latina, either
La Jolla
has an energy to mine people, it says of Allah subhanaw taala saying, and there is no blame upon these people who come to you. And they asked you, do you have an animal that can carry us so that we can go and defend Muslims with you? Right, they're going out for as well. And they want to go with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam and they want to do something useful. And they wish for it and they come to the Prophet salesianum they can you carry us, can you take us with you? What is the Prophet sallallahu send them his response to my family. I don't have any money. I don't have any camels, any horses to get to you so you can come with us. Go lower iron with the Filomena demo, they go back and
their eyes are filled with tears that they cannot find anything to spend for the sake of Allah subhana wa Tada. So this is an example of acts of inability, though this person these people are excused, but still, you're unable to do the things that you love, you're unable to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala and a person like with haram as we're going to be talking about it a person physically may not be able to subpanel a person could be going to the masjid all the time. He becomes sick. You know,
stays at home can go to the masjid anymore. used to spend for the sake of Allah subhanaw taala all the time, loses their money can't stay for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala anymore. So a lot of the prophets a lot of cinema a SR a lot protect me from ads, that I want to do something good, but I'm unable to do it. So this is one and what is interesting here about
these people that the Prophet salami settlement that Allah subhanaw taala talked about, they're crying because what in the ayah What are they crying?
Because they can't find money to spend for a loss of Hannah with that, all right. So because they can find that money that they can spend the crime.
Nowadays, right, when do we cry
when you can when he asked us to spend right when we have to give our kids I have to give my venue cry. But they were crying because they don't have money to spend for Allah subhanho wa Taala. So this is an example of ads and kisser is laziness. And as the ruler said, write it.
leads to the same result for different reasons, but the same result inaction.
And so panela that's the you know, the more regrettable of the two, because Allah could decide that you don't have that ability. But what Allah subhanaw taala gives you all the ability, the health is there, the time is there, you know that physically you're capable financially, you're capable, but you still you don't do it. What is missing is there is not the ability what's missing.
Desire, right? The will to do this is missing. Either the will is completely missing. Or it's not strong enough. So you think about it, you want to do it, you may do it once or twice, but then you stop the sparkle laziness not complete. That could be so complete laziness will deprive you of doing anything, partial laziness, you will do something but you won't continue. And one of the cards of the ATM and one of the problems in doing something planning something is you start and you stop.
Why do you start and then stop? No determination? No will no persistence. Part of that could be kassala. You gave up you gave up already? Okay, so there's no azima there's no will and no determination. So Kessler, panela is one of the things that consumes a lot of our lives. A lot of us have the potential the intelligence, the time, the ability, the only thing that is holding us back is what?
just lazy.
We'd rather stay home, watch things, listen to things rather than go out and do something that'd be useful to us and those around us. So that's the thing that established and it was so panelized was the guidance of the Sahaba of the prophets of Allah He was Ceylon is to look down at someone who's not doing something. So I've noticed Oh, totally alone, and who said in the Navajo radula and Allahu Fariba, Elisa fishing in Menominee dunya will appreciate him and
I hate to see the individual idle,
doing nothing, not engaged in the actions pertaining to denier or actions pertaining to the outcome.
So you're either doing this or
you're either doing this or that not this or that. What are you doing?
Nothing wasting time just wasting time. I have two hours you know, before I go to sleep, what should I do? Skilton? kilton. Serve? You know, I'm an us human, most of us and I myself am guilty of this sometimes you go visit this website Five, six, that nothing changing the website is the same website. There are no updates and face the same thing, same fee. What are you checking? It's the same thing. But I just don't have a plan. Right? I don't have a desire to do something different. And so I just keep doing the same thing and I kill my time waste my time. So notice that all the Allahu anhu is saying no. Una Soto Liana is saying you either doing something. And this is all based
on a plan, you must have a plan for this to actually happen. So you're either doing something for a loss of Panama or Dinah for the app, or you're doing something for the sake of your dunya you're improving your dunya or improving your asset or both at the same time, but not this and not that then you're wasting your time. And when you're wasting your time you're killing yourself. Because you are made up of what
seconds and minutes and hours and days. When you're killing these you killing yourself. So the prophets of Allah Han he was sending me saying, that's how serious it is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam saying protect me from this and protect me from that.
The second to parent the Prophet sallallahu Sallam had put together okay is a juban will book to be coward, a coward and to be stingy. And both of them also are related, though they are different are related because both of them lead to the property. The brother said about the first pair they both also lead to
inaction, lack of action, both
to be a coward, or to be stingy.
To be a coward is what what is to be encountered in Japan to be afraid.
Be afraid that if I'm going to do this thing, be afraid that if I'm going to do this, say this thing, I'll pay dearly for it. So I feel for myself, I feel for my whatever families I feel for my money, I feel the consequences so I don't do it.
So this is a person who is withholding his favors that are physical, bodily favors, I'm not going to help so and so I'm not defending so and so I will not say
Speak the truth. Because I don't want that I don't want someone to criticize me. I don't want someone to punish me. I don't want someone to say this and that about me. This all is part of you
to be a job and to be a coward.
So a coward doesn't do anything, because he's afraid of the consequences. No commanding good, forbidding evil, No, none of that. Right. No speaking the truth, No, none of that. And there's always rationalization for it and being wise and being cautious. Right. And I'm going to talk about that in Sharla soon, but I'm going by you know, that you need to be wise and cautious. But sometimes it's tricky to distinguish between the two. But for the calorie, you'll say, No, I'm just being extra cautious. I'm being extra wise.
And there is also this idea for the divan for the cow is that if I don't engage, don't engage in anything risky. I'm going to protecting I'm saving myself.
Right? And if I don't do what Allah Subhana Allah because that's the idea why is person Why is a person a coward.
There is excessive love for the dunya excessive love for yourself and its safety and mistrust of Allah subhanho wa Taala meaning that if you do what Allah Subhana Allah wants to protect you.
So you don't trust Allah subhanho wa Taala enough.
And because you don't trust Allah subhanaw taala you're not willing to take a gamble. And because you're not taking willing to take a gamble, you want to resort to safety and stay closest to safety.
And Allah subhanho wa Taala describes those people in the Quran.
who think that just because they stayed back and did not go out with the Prophet sallallahu wasallam they saved themselves from death.
The brave, think differently. Yep. Una Locanda then I mean, an ambush a patina hula, hula hoop,
Latina booty Bollywood in amavasya.
They say if we, if we had any control over our affairs and what we can do and what we cannot, we would not be killed here
was a penalty response to them and to their criticism of the prophets of Allah Han he was sending them by saying, say even if you had been inside your homes and the safety of your homes, those decreased to be killed would have come out to their deathbeds.
There is a few a brave person who trust Allah subhanho wa Taala you know that life and death belongs to who? Who controls it, a loss of Hannah Diana, it's not your action or inaction that leads to your death.
It's a loss of panels that already had decided. So Allah subhana wa tada is saying to themselves, you fear that because you were the prophets of the law, you send them that that is going to bring you death, no understand very well that even if you had stayed behind,
even if you had stayed behind in your homes, and Allah had decreed that you would die in that battlefield, you would come out for whatever reason, and you would die in that battlefield because Allah decreed it.
Right? It would happen as a last panel with Allah wants it.
There is this story. Maybe you've heard it before.
that someone was in the court of Sulaiman Ali Salaam, right? Someone in the court of Sulayman. And he sat down.
And he was sitting and talking to Solomon, and so on and so forth. And the angel of death comes in to the court of Salima.
And that person was so terrified of the angel of death. So he said to the man, because the angel of death when he came in, he was looking at everybody and staring at him looking at and say, like, he kept staring at him. So that terrified him.
So you went to the Middle East, and I said, Take me out of here. Take me out of your court Take me out of this land, because the Angel of Death keeps looking at me looking at me looking at me, says fine so called the story man Ali Salaam had control of the wind, right? So he asked the wind go and carry him to another land far away.
And then after that happened, the Angel of Death set sat next to Solomon Ali, Ceylon. Solomon said, Why did you fight in our guests like this? kept staring at him in this manner? He said nothing but I'm supposed to take his soul. I think they took him to India. Solomon was in a sham, right? They took him to India. He says, I'm supposed to take his soul in few hours. And I found him in your court.
right with you. And I'm supposed to take his soul in India. I was wondering what is he doing with you?
So he asked
To the man and a salon to take him to the place where he was supposed to die.
So this is the idea of a woman whose His heart is strong, His heart is brave, believes firmly he gives him his heart to Allah subhana wa tada and believes that if Allah has destined that you're going to die, you're going to die. If Allah is destined, that you're going to live, you're going to live for Allah has destined that so when someone is going to harm you, they're going to harm you. If Allah says that, they're never gonna be able to harm you, they'll never be able to harm you. So if Allah wants you to do something, you do it regardless right over the whispers of the shape of the weakness of yourself.
And so cowardice really doesn't lead to anything positive, you will stay back, holding back all the good things that you can do because you're afraid.
So the prophets of Allah Azza wa sallam is seeking a loss protection from that fear.
And, of course, sometimes you have to distinguish between being brave and being foolish. Right? It's not easy to distinguish between the two. And the way to distinguish between the two is really to be versed in knowledge, and to also seek the advice and counsel of the people around you. You say, okay, so and so I know you to be wise, is this thing that I want to do? is it's a bravery? Or is it foolishness that our last panel data will be angry with? Is it something that a lot praises or something that Allah hates, and then you'll be able to share a lot to know the difference between what Allah loves and whatever Allah hates. But here, Prophet sallallahu sallam, he says, protect me
from this fear, excessive fear, being afraid of people, rather than being afraid of a loss of
the other part of this pair is both stinginess. And that also leads to inaction. And like cowardice, right? It's lack of generosity, but not with body but with
well,
so the coward right is stingy with his body.
The stingy person is a coward with as well. You can think about it this way. So the stingy person, right? He's stingy with his wealth,
or with his time, or with his advice.
Or with teaching people any of these things, all of his favors or most or any of his favors? I won't share that with you, I, I want to keep it to myself, why do you want to keep it for yourself? either because if I give you I will have less.
Or either because if I give you you will have more than I want to have. And I don't want you to have more than one. So this is why
I don't want to give you money, because I will have less. I don't want to give you money. Because if I give you money,
maybe you will have more than what I have.
Like, you know, some some people, this happens with a woman sometimes, but happens with brothers also. You say?
wonderful dish, how did you cook it? What's the recipe?
I will never give you the recipe. Right? I don't give you the right one. It's mine. It's my recipe, right? I'll cook it for you if you want, but I'll never share that recipe with you. Right? Never publish it. Why? Because I want to be the one who knows it. And no, not one anyone else. This could happen in religious knowledge as well. Right? give you something but not everything. Why? Because if you know everything that I know, how am I better than you? Right? If I know if you know everything that I know or equals, if I know extra, was better. I can always be at least if I if you don't know what that was at least I'll know that I'm better. But the thing that we don't know anyone who you
know, Subhanallah has this stinginess in them is that what are the prophets lawyers in general says generally about spending? What does it do to your wealth
increases it increases it and this is not only about money, hour, anything that you have anything that you have, so even your
when you teach it, it increases.
If you haven't tried it, try it. You think that you know I had it you know and you start teaching it. And Allah subhanho wa Taala will give you more knowledge because you're teaching it than you had before. Just because you're teaching it alone will give you more insight will teach you more about it than before. Because you're teaching it because you're giving something to Allah subhanaw taala you think alone Give me something back. So as Allah subhana wa Taala blesses your wealth when you get gives you more because he gave, he will give you more when you share your knowledge with others. Same thing with your time. You say if I give you my time, I won't have enough time. I know, within
reason I'm talking about why you're not just going to get all of your time but within reason, someone needs your help someone needs advice. If I give you my time, I won't have enough time. No If you give them your time and they really need it.
They don't overdo it. Allah bless your time too. So a prophet sallallahu wasallam is also seeking Allah protection from that flaw in character that I won't be generous with my body won't be generous with what I possess. And I won't help people leading also to lack of worshipping Allah subhanho wa Taala. And getting closer to
then seeking Allah's protection from Iran and other Boko
Haram is reaching
a stage where you're so old, that you are senile, you lose
your mind, you don't know right from wrong anymore. Or your body is so weak, is very weak, you're bedridden.
And one of the two out of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam, in another study is for Allah subhana wa Allah to preserve his strength. And he says, determiner, keep it with us keep our strength, our senses, my eyesight, my hearing my strength, physical strength, with me, up to the end,
up to the very feminine, right up to the end. So that up to the end, as long as you are living on the face of this earth, you're able to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala fully.
Because when Allah Subhana, Allah, Allah or to take, right your ability from you, physical ability or mental ability, okay, you won't be able to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala, as he used to before, either it stops completely, if a person is senile, he doesn't know what prayer is, what we'll do is right how much he had prayed, he doesn't know. So at least, then the obligations then stop at this point. He's not obligated to do any of these things anymore, but he's still living. So the profits of a lot he was in them wanted to what to enjoy all of his faculties, all of his ability, all of his awareness to have that as long as he's alive. So that's the first benefit. And then the other
benefit in it is that this does not become a burden for the people around you.
Whatever the you know, this ability that you have, it doesn't become a burden for the people around you. Because sometimes you don't know will you find the people around you who will be able to take care of you or not? Will they have the patience or not? Will this be a fitna for them or not? etc, etc, etc. So one of the either the Prophet sallallahu wasallam would ask,
give me the strength till the end. Let me enjoy, you know, my physical strength, my mental strength, my senses all the way to the end. So this is seeking refuge from Allah
and also seeking Allah refuge from the punishment in the grave.
The punishment in the grief, and we spoke briefly about that, in some other Hadith and the previous Hadith we said that some people, Muslims and non Muslims will be punished in the grave.
And if the punishment in the grave is a reality and it is a reality, one of the things that we should you know, study
and research and stay away from is what are the sins that cause punishment in the grave. But there are some specific things
that they may cause punishment is definitely the next slide in the hereafter when the after people are resurrected, but in the grave, there are some particular sense that the prophets A lot of us talked about the cost punishment in the grief and some of these sins, you know, like for instance with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam talked about an AMC been Amina, welcome Allah for Canada is 30 Roman and
you know one of them, he when he passed by a grave and the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he says, they are being punished as for the person, that police per person, he used to go with Nima spreading people secrets, telling people this is what so and so I said about you, this is when so and so had said about you, right? So spreading corruption. So this is what the Mima is, the other person used either not to conceal himself while urinating or not to purify himself or urinating. So these are two sins, another Hadith, Riba backbiting is also a sin that the Prophet sallallahu wasallam had said, that also causes punishment in the grave. So there are some sins that cause punishment in the
grave. And one of the things that a Muslim should be interested in, especially if you're interested in the Hereafter is to know what are the sins and to stay away from them. So seeking a loss protection if you remember, we said that previously, when you seek a loss protection from something, what does that also mean? Is it all it's lonely verbal
effort
It must be also followed with an effort for it to make sense. It must be followed with an effort to are you staying away from the thing that you're asking Allah subhanaw taala to protect you from you're not going back to it. See Allah Ya Allah protect me from this sin means verbally I'm asking ALLAH and I'm also trying my best to stay also.
Now, we come to the point where the last panel with the Prophet sallallahu Sallam is asking Allah, Allah humma idfc taqwa was a PA anti Roman zeca Antonio Allah.
Allah, give myself a stopwatch
and give it its test key because you're the best one to give it to skier.
What is the,
if you remember or if you know what from somewhere else, what is the flower in in Arabic what is
taqwa really if you understand with higher in Arabic, with higher is what is protection. protection. This is what we hire is.
So we hire or taqwa is to put a protection between you and the punishment of our last panel. That is not wise.
So when a person says it, the law meaning put a protection, a shield between you, and what angers Allah subhana wa Tada. So, what could mean staying away from the harem? In one kind of some context, and in other contexts, it's mean more completely staying away from the harem and doing what Allah subhana wa Donna loves.
So here Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is saying and asking Allah subhanaw taala grind myself, it's tough
to pursue this hot fusion more than anything else. So I don't do the hot arm and I stay away from sin. That was so that this heart loves you more than anything else so that I stay away from sin, because you can stay away from sin. for a lot of reasons.
You can stay away from sin because you're afraid that to be found out.
You can stay away from sin because you're ashamed to meet Allah subhanho wa Taala. With such sin, you can stay away from sin because you remember at that point that this sin has a particular punishment. And if you die doing it, you're good to jahannam so you're afraid of Allah subhana wa Tada. You can also stay away from sin because at that moment, in that day, you will have a las panatela more than you love that desire and that sense you stay away from that sin. So whatever taqwa you have in your heart, it's the connection between you and Allah subhanho wa Taala. And the only one who can give it is Allah.
So the prophets a lot he was sending them is saying
and protect myself.
Yeah, but I mean from all these sins from any deviance by giving me the tequila in my heart, and give my soul also it's just here was a key.
And this key, go back way back to how we define test gear, we said that this gear involves two things, purification of the self from all diseases,
and endowing this cell with all virtue, this is what this key is. And we said I mentioned I don't remember if we mentioned this definitely and Talia, so tequila is purification, like a cup that is empty with polluted water.
How do you put clean water inside? How do you do that?
Empty upright empty cup. So this is definitely a purification. You take out whatever you know dirt is inside whatever contaminations inside and you pour it out. Then you pour in clean water and you continue to pour cleaning and clean water until you have clean water on the inside. This is what it is daddy and daddy. So the life of every Muslim every believer right is these two paths simultaneously.
purification and virtue, purification and virtue, taking away something out something that Allah hates and putting in that's something that Allah loves staying away from the Koran and putting in a substitute something that lost the power of what the Allah loves. This is what this key is. And
of course, when the Prophet sallallahu wasallam himself is asking Allah Zeki
and to say Romans a guy, you were the best one to give it purification. He's saying in effect, you're the only one who can give it purification in the commentary in this Hadith, they say it isn't mean here that you're the best one to give it purification that there is someone else who can give it.
No, it means that you're the only one who can give it
so I can you know I may want to purify my soul. I may want to
Have a better heart I may want to be closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala but this will not happen until What?
Allah subhana wa Taala wants it. So you know, I mean of course you have to put effort
right and you have to walk that path of Disgaea not just say it not just say I want to be a better person, everyone wants to be a better person.
And you can ask Allah Subhana Allah Allah make me a better person, but you have to do two things. You have to ask Allah subhana wa tada and trust he's the only one who can bring real change to you and you start walking that path.
Right? You have to take those steps because if you don't take those steps, if it's just someone on the outside looks at you
What do you say that you're sincere?
You're asking a lot of data but you're doing the opposite would you say would he say that you're sincere and he requests
and he Allah make me rich make me rich, you're not working in I'm doing anything? Yeah, Allah give me children but you know, married and you didn't tend never to get be married? How? How is that going to happen? So whatever you think you want to happen, right? You have to take steps towards it. But while you're taking steps, you know that Allah subhana wa tada is the only one who can help the only one who can rescue the only one who can guide.
And while knowing that Allah subhanaw taala is the only one who can guide and rescue you're also pushing yourself to take advantage of Allah Rama, both these things have to happen at the same time.
Then, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam then moves to seek Allah's refuge from four things.
Amen lionpaw knowledge that does not benefit, non beneficial knowledge.
This means
that there's knowledge that benefits and bond knowledge that doesn't benefit. So not all knowledge is beneficial.
Or until you
until you have
meaning you are petitioning a loss of pan of value or pleading with a loss of kind of what the honor, you are the money and the way he is the supporter and the champion, and the protector of someone or something until you have when you are its owner and master. So if you are the owner and the master and the support of my soul, and it has no other support and Master, I can go to someone else and ask for this Yella. No one else can help me. So just because, you know, like, you go to your parents, and say you're the one who gave birth to me, and you're the one who was taking care of me and you're the one and you are the one and you're the one give me this meaning you are pleading
with them because of because of all of these qualities and because all of these connections to you give me this. So here you are pleading with Allah subhanho wa Taala because he is so close to you, and the one who created you and the only one who can take care of you. Yeah, Allah because of your names because of your attributes, because of your connection to me take care of my soul, because no one else can.
Right? So here's the battle you feel lost, you feel a lost connection to you feel a loss of Dallas close to you. And you know, deep down inside is the only is that Allah subhanaw. taala is the only one who can help you. That's why you trust him more than anyone else. And in purification, and guiding your heart and strengthening your heart and giving you up on giving with our code, etc, etc. That's why you trust him more than anyone else. Because He's the owner of your soul. He knows it. He cares for it more than anyone else cares for it. Right? He wants the best for it more than anyone else wants the best for more than you.
Because sometimes you want the worst for yourself not a loss, that he only wants the best for you. So that's why you asked me the last panel with Allah to help you.
Now
if a person goes to hedge and he performs a hedge that is from abroad and accepted hedge that Allah subhana wa dialler will accept and repents. What's important here is he goes right and he has decided to repent from every sin
then all of his previous sins will be forgiven and the Prophet sallallahu wasallam says that and huduma rule has no reward except gentlemen.
Right. So this hedge mob rule is what has that is built in attach that Allah subhana wa tada love
There is piety in it. So you've done it for Allah Subhana Allah for no one else and you went there with a clean heart, that's word for that person is gentle, so all the sins would be forgiven by the will of Allah Subhana Allah.
But is it
Subhana Allah even that, but the person was killed? So the question because they want to hear the question, even murder, he was asking that person right, who was killed has still a right, that has to be fulfilled on the Day of Judgment. But Allah subhanho wa Taala is generous enough, right? You don't know while you're living, but do you actually will receive this or not. But with those two are actually very sincere that Allah subhana wa Taala could satisfy the victim on the Day of Judgment where he will not take any of your good deeds or give you or any of their your sense will forgive you. So it's possible, right? But at the same time, you never know if you can be this person who
deserves it over this person who on the Day of Judgment, that person will say no, he has to be punished. You don't. But
luckily Muhammad Muhammad right so you know, every every station has its adequate response to it. So in general would say Allah Subhana Allah can forgive everything, but we don't know living on this earth if we'd be among those people.
Now I'm so, he sought a loss protection from useless knowledge, useless information. So, not all information and not all knowledge is useful, some is useful, some is not useful. So what are examples of non useful knowledge? I gf some examples here.
Example for your non useful knowledge. Now, is there any anything that will take you away from Allah subhanho wa Taala is not beneficial. Anything that will distract you from Allah subhanaw taala is not beneficial. Anything that will not bring you to a loss of Hannah with Allah is not beneficial. This is not beneficial knowledge. For example, for instance, we talked today about magic, by the law learning magic, is that useful? Obviously not reading in books that would shake your books of chicken disbelief and bid on innovation and you know, create religious doubt is this useful knowledge? It is knowledge. No one can doubt its knowledge. But is it not fair, useful? It's not
known. Right? So you will get a lot when you reading it, but it is something that will take you to heaven or something to take you to another place. Probably and if your email is not followed, take you somewhere else. Learning how to harm people, learning how to cheat by how to embezzle how to hack somebody,
how to lie, you can learn all of these things. Is that useful? Right? learning how to harm people in general, is that useful knowledge? No.
Following the news of movies and movie stars and athletes, and the latest thing with them, which is so irritating, is that useful?
breed close to Allah subhanaw taala. in any way. Does it take you away from Allah subhanho wa Taala?
Yeah, it does. Because a, it wastes your time. So be I mean, you get more attached to what they're doing. And a lot of what they're doing is ha there's into their movie, the song, that event, right? Whatever it is, whatever they're talking about, a lot of what they're doing is cut off, a lot of their influence is harmful. So you get attached to it. So you're wasting time or you being attached to something that takes you away from Allah subhanaw taala. So all of this is not beneficial knowledge.
Part of also the non beneficial knowledge is something that is when it's excessive, becomes distracting. The politics. Right? We love politics. Right? Right. You sit with people's opinion a lot. I know over coffee over tea, from beginning to end everything they're talking about is politics, politics, politics, okay? All the time. That's all the analysis. We're interested in some politics, okay. Maybe it's useful, right? Too much of it
is so useful anymore. It's too much. Way too much. You're wasting your time to write, you know that you're gathering your conversation, you know, your mental ability to study something else is wasted on repeated analysis right and things that you already know subpanel so
or any other you know, worldly knowledge but to an excess excessive interest in it that undermines you know, your knowledge of the hereafter you're, how close you are to Las panatela. That's also not beneficial.
Another non beneficial knowledge is knowledge that you
acquire, but you don't apply. And that's major, non beneficial knowledge, even when it is sometimes religious knowledge,
even with this religious knowledge, you know, you know, you know, you know a lot
do you apply? No, no, no. How did that benefit you? Did that benefit, the benefit in that?
Right? So seeking protection from non beneficial knowledge is saying I'll do a lot Don't make me of those who acquire knowledge but you I don't apply it. I don't follow what I know it action Don't make me all those people. Because this knowledge is not going to benefit me. And that knowledge actually starts hurting.
Not only is not beneficial, like in a neutral sense, it started hurting person. If there's some macro haimo loss, it can be in either the main family meal due to lack in alignment.
How many things that if they don't benefit you, they don't harm you. But when it does not benefit you, it's harms you.
You know how?
Possibly
Yeah.
You know, you're accountable.
On the day of gentlemen, Allah subhanho wa Taala will say, you knew that you did not know you knew this, this, this and this, how come you didn't follow the ignorant person? Not that this is this is advocacy for us to be ignorant, but the ignorant person may underline may have an excuse. What is my excuse to find one I don't follow. Right. So it becomes very harmful. Like someone also as in the Hadith of the Prophet sallallahu wasallam someone who seeks knowledge of this Deen for the sake of the dunya right, the island so that it will be said he knows right? He knows a lot Mashallah.
So the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he says all the first people who will be thrown in Hellfire is this person.
And he is knowledgeable or ignorant,
knowledgeable, that that knowledge helped him
through man Hellfire, that's what it was a magazine, that knowledge through them in Hellfire, because he did not apply it he did not follow what he knows with action.
And Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran gives an example in the Koran
of those people. So panela method livina combinatorial.
Chemistry is for those who have the Torah with them, but they do not follow it as like the example of the donkey carrying books on its back. Does the donkey understand what is carrying? It's just, it's just suffering because of these heavy books that is carrying on its back. That's the burden. You're carrying a burden on you, but you don't understand what it is and the last panatela saying when they don't follow it, they're just like that animal. In fact, that animal is better because again, like an ignorant person, a donkey can't read. So it's I can't understand anything of these books, but those who are carrying the books of Allah subhanaw taala they can read, why aren't you
following them?
Right.
So knowledge with a bad intention is a knowledge that is not beneficial. And knowledge Subhanallah that you may share with people or you may receive
but it is above your level of understanding is not a notice that is beneficial to you though it is true.
It's true, not
authentic, but it is above you know your level. Yeah, so you haven't reached it yet. I haven't reached it yet. That could be a fitna for you.
Though it is authentic. And if it was around the alarm and said this is a Muslim in the Medina and the introduction to a man who had this in common Hadith and let the blue Illa cannoli bother him fitna. You're not going to tell people talk to people about something that their minds cannot grasp, except that it will be fitna for some of them.
You follow what I'm saying? Just think of the children sometimes if the knowledge that you share with them is to deeply understand
or confuse them confused what I don't understand I don't have an example unfortunately. But you'll see what I don't understand. So it's more confusing. So you have to simplify, simplify or even what not even share with that, that knowledge with them until a time when they're more mature. So even sometimes we are as adults, we have not reached a level where we can understand everything. So if you're sitting with people and you share with them something that is so sophisticated, that is beyond their level of grasping, it could be a fitna for them they can reject the truth
as Olive navitat is also setting this famous saying
hello to nursery my Aki Luna Tony Dona you can de la hora pseudo it's a speak to people about what the No one can grasp and understand. You want a loss of power
And this prophet sallallahu wasallam to be polite
to people for them to deny the truth because they will deny it when they don't understand it right
like for instance there was this stories phase story
a person was reading and this just tells you that you had any take. So a person was praying in in the sada and he read instead of Maliki amin Deen many kiyomi D
so one of the people right behind after the Salah is like from the nomads it comes to money say you know, you know I feel bad for you someone makes a mistake reading and fatica right? So he says no, no, it's not it's not a mistake. This is the reading of natvia I he's gonna tell him a legitimate reading. So he says then follow the code and he says me Elena benefits with you or nothing? Right? We want the reading of Muslims I don't want the reading of nothing says inshallah. inshallah.
So it's true what he's reading is what I'm right. But that person rejected it. Why did he reject it?
levels right level so you have to understand the level right? He doesn't know nothing. Right? So when you tell him the reading of Napa Napa as your neighbor or something, I don't want what Napa is reading. Right? I want what the Muslims are reading. So this is you know, levels right. So pauwela
The next thing is shala is to seek Allah's refuge and want to keep it under an hour inshallah we have 10 more minutes, inshallah. So seeking Allah's protection from a
heart that does not have a
heart that is devoid of
a heart that has to show his heart that has submitted to a last panel with that, very close to our last panel. And that's what that heart is very close to Allah here for the law loving of Allah. This heart when it hears the Koran, it reacts.
It softens when it hears Allah's Name. It softens. Right when it reminded me of the Hereafter, it feels soft. when it sees the suffering of people around it, it feels soft, and it reacts.
That hard the slides for sure is the opposite. It has hardened to an extent became stiff, right? Strong stiff, to an extent mentioned on it doesn't move mentioned a lot. It doesn't move the hair after doesn't move the grave doesn't move, see suffering around it, it doesn't move. This is that type of part. There's no question in it. There's no life in this either disease in it, or it's almost dead. Right.
And one of the signs, one of the signs that there is trouble with the heart is that according to another Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam he used to seek a less protection from an eye that does not cry, woman that did not
write in another 100 there have the login so it is there in particular.
So in another Hadith, the Prophet sallallahu Sallam used to seek protection from a heart that does not have an eye that
doesn't cry, let the demand meaning that when you cry when the eye cries, that's an indication and signal of the heart is wide,
soft, close to a loss of data crying out of fear of Allah, the love of Allah because of its sense, because it misses a loss of data, you can cry because you miss a loss of data you want to see a lot. You want to be close to a loss because you're ashamed of your sins because you say to yourself, how can I make a loss of panel data doing all of these horrible things what I'll say to him he
talks to talks about having you sit in the audience can cry talks about how high it can cry, so the fat in the eyes does not cry is a sign also that the heart is dry. Not only that the eye is dry, but the heart is dry.
And the way for you to achieve for sure and the heart is whatever everything we're talking about everything we're talking about, be close to Allah subhana wa Tada. Don't immerse yourself in the dunya
The more that you occupied in this world and with this world, the tougher Your heart will be the stiffer Your heart will be. The closer you are to Las panatela the softer Your heart will be.
Here there's an example from a model they allow just to show you how they used to take care of their hearts. So if no model once saw the camel of his
so someone came and told him Why didn't you keep that camera? Like maybe seemed to be a good camera? He said look at Canon wahkiakum he says it was an agreeable good camera.
Well, I can show but I mean calbee *ery to a national local BBC but it
attracted a branch a part of my heart. And I hate it to occupy my heart with anything. So I sold it.
This is amazing. Now translate this to our world today. Instead of a camel, what? A car. And so a car that you just bought, right? You just bought a month. And it all has all these features. And it's like a car that you always wanted, and you drive it and you're happy with it. But you start noticing that the pantalone I'm praying, I'm thinking about it. When I'm not driving it, I'm thinking about it. I'm always worried that somebody's going to scratch it and not letting everybody drive it and it always worried worried worried about it, then you sell it,
though you love it. And someone asks you why did you sell it? And I say you say it's a beautiful car drives perfect. But I'm thinking too much about it. And I don't want that to be in my heart. So I sold it. Who does that?
We waited it's old. Right? Right. We wait till it's over. So I would that also said, alarm India Oh, the becoming the fricative cobia Allah I seek your protection from the division of the heart. So is asked what is this different cartoon called the division of the heart, called a new life, you could leave on the map, but he has an every family and Every valley property and money.
And every road in every Valley, there's property of his. So his mind is always occupied. I have investments here I have deposits there. I have poverty here. So now we don't even to be that rich for us to worry about the money that we have. Right? We just have a little bit and we're worried about it. But the flicker too bright you have here and here and here. And there. You're always thinking about all of these things. Another important thing, so he says this divides the heart, I cannot recollect it back into one heart that is thinking about what benefits it and what harms it. So they used to do what?
Stephen, give it away. Instead of me thinking about it so much, they would just give it away, give it up. And they retain their heart, the integrity of their heart.
The other thing that the prophets of Allah while he was intimate sought protection from is the unsatisfied self.
And why is the self unsatisfied? Nothing, nothing, never, never satisfied. We've talked about this before, a little bit shall have a reminder, why is it never satisfied,
needs more and more. And because the only thing that can satisfy yourself is what?
A loss.
That's the only thing.
Otherwise, the dounia. And that's why it's never satisfied, it can never be happy. Because it seeks the dounia brings it in, after a few hours, few days, you're dissatisfied with this, because you got used to it. Or you're comparing yourself to someone else who has better things that you do, are you worried about it, so you're never really fully fully happy with it. So you go on and you seek something else, and then you get this other thing, and you become dissatisfied with it, and so on and so on and so on. Right? The satisfied self, on the other hand believes in Allah subhanaw taala believes that what Allah gives you, as the best for you. So even if it is a piece, a piece of bread
that Allah had given to you, you know, this is coming from a last panel with Allah, so you appreciate it because it's coming from Allah.
You Thank you, because it's coming from Allah, you know that it is the best for you at this moment, because Allah had given to given it to you, you're not looking to something beyond, I'm not talking against ambition, you can have ambition, talking about greed, there's a difference between ambition and greed. Right? You can be ambitious for great things, beneficial things. Greed is greed for this dunya. There's difference between the two, right?
So this self is not greedy, the satisfied self is not greedy, wants what Allah gives, it wants what is best for this in the era before the dunya and then what's best for it in the dunya. So it's happy with a lot happy with what Allah has given it, and knows that in the right will receive things that are a lot better than what hasn't been done yet. So even when it loses something,
it's fine with that, because it's know that a lot can compensate. The unsatisfied self doesn't have that. So if it loses something, it panics and it curses and it can never find calm
and always wants more and more and more and more. And when it has it looks down on what it has this thing, this miserable thing, I'm unhappy with it, I want something else. So this is the unsatisfied self. So the prophets have a lot of use in them knows that there is adaptive
punishment. If a person has this type of self, he'll be in constant punishment. So loss of profits or loss of salami sink, spare me I love that type of
punishment that will always be satisfied with you not looking at this dunya. So this is the unsatisfied self.
And yeah, there is the Prophet sallallahu Sallam says in an interesting Hadith, he says when humanity is beyond Hollywood, North Hollywood dunya, it says, there are two voracious people who will never be satisfied, a seeker of knowledge and the seeker of the dunya.
Right, so seems to panela that we have this in us, right? Like, you'll always be dissatisfied with something.
But you'll either be dissatisfied with the dunya, always seeking, seeking and never getting enough. And this person is just adding maybes tends to himself. Or you can be dissatisfied with what how much, you know, beneficial knowledge or not non beneficial knowledge, beneficial knowledge. And you will always want more and more and more. Because the more that you have, the closer it brings you to the loss of kind of Dallas, you will never have enough, will always want more. So he says this is fine when you have that. Right? When you become greedy like that. It's good, you sharing your information, but you always want more and more and more. So it's good to be greedy in this way that
brings you closer to a lot of this good type of green. The other type of greed is not good. Right?
And the last thing insha Allah is an unaccepted
advice that you give to a loss of power with Allah, he make to our last panel with Allah, Allah does not accept.
And so panela you know, think about it. Allah is the only one that we have that we can ask.
So it's really very alarming to hear that I do, I may not be accepted. That's why the prophets of
Allah protect me from the fact that I could ask you, and you do not accept my job protect me from this. And what are some of the reasons why you may not be accepted?
Do you know?
Since
So, if you're asking for sin,
right, something unjust and aggression, Allah subhanaw taala does not accept that, that trial will be termed that. Sometimes if you're committing sins, like earning Haram, and eating from that point on feeding your family from that era, that may be a reason that allow me not accept that. It doesn't mean to give
means what
stay away from these things, stay away from whatever is going to turn back your job. But these are things that could actually hinder the acceptance of your by asking for something that is sinful doing some specific things since making do I will not paying attention to what you're saying being an attentive when a bla bla yesterday will do I'm feeling a loss Monica does not accept that you are from a heart that is not attended, does not know what it's saying.
And one of the reasons also I do and that's a big topic, right?
may not be accepted is what they call it, delve into aggression into
aggression into I mean, not to perform according to the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu. I do send them like for instance, you know, people like to invent some new ideas of their own. And they write for no reason,
like rhyming the draft for no reason, is one of the reasons that they see one of their data and they do that, for it may be rejected.
And whatever riming you will find that either the profits on a lot of you send them when these making to IBC, it is not intentional, it's just happened this way. But the intent of the profits always in was not to write.
Because, and why why is it? Why does it interfere with the exemption of the do because when you're making draw your intention is what I want you to listen to me
and accept my draw. So you like sincerely making this? When you're worried about rhyming, you're worried about the words.
Right? Why me this would that rhyming with this with that how to do it sounds not actually how you communicating to the last panel.
So that feeds into this, as I said, it's a topic on its own. The data and UI is one of the reasons that also could be an obstacle in the acceptance of the doula. So here in sha Allah, in conclusion, the prophets have a lot of you send them here had sought a loss protection from several things and as a loss of panel data from several things. And as we said, they really summarize right, the basic impediments that stop you from reaching a loss panel data and then the virtues that you need to reach a last panel with data so it's good to memorize this to us so like our habit, but isn't it as though what are we supposed to do?
memorize this. Right? And it's not very long. But memorize this, especially the part in the middle, where you're asking Allah subhana wa Taala to give you taqwa and to give you the schema and monitor this is an addition to mama memorization. monitor the last four things that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam had talked about
Cb inilah is your heart,
Harsha or not?
Does your I cry when Allah Subhana Allah is mentioned or nine
is yourself a satisfied or dissatisfied itself
and link that to asking Allah subhanho wa Taala to give you this disc here because what we want to do throughout this process is improve this heart that we have and improve this self, this neffs that we have, and part of improving it is making it happy with the last panel of data So ask yourself, Am I happy with a lot in my life? And whatever Allah has given me or am I unhappy with him? And if I'm not happy, make this
and be sincere when you ask Allah Subhana Allah protecting me from a self that is dissatisfied. See yourself when you're listening to the Quran. Listening to the name of Allah subhana wa tada when you're seeing the suffering and there's a lot of suffering and Muslims around you, does your heart move or not and if it doesn't move, know that you need to reform your heart and then say with sincerity Allah protect me from a heart that is hard know for sure in it and give me this desk dear to my heart. So in sha Allah two things, one, memorize it. And the second thing inshallah monitor yourself, monitor your heart and monitor yourself throughout the week. And see, is there any
improvement or not an ask a lot of panel data as a result to give you that improvement, that visible improvement, that's the last panel with the other, to give us the give this to all of us to make us all as the prophets of the law to send them to have hearts that have for sure in them to have souls enough that are happy and satisfied with the last panel with Donna to make us always have those who make dua and there is accepted even if it's delayed. We trust Allah subhanho wa Taala that there will be accepted and to make us of those who learn the things that benefit them, and they apply what they know. I mean your banana means to panic alarm over a shadow
