The history and use of the term "theort" have been discussed, with the idea that Islam cannot change its treatment and love is a concern. The speakers emphasize the importance of love and respect for one's relationship, as it can distorted and dangerous, and the need for people to be content with their actions and not judge others' behavior. The negative impact of fear on society is discussed, including the belief that one is always ahead of one's partner, and practices such as raising one's hand and not feeling at home as a solution to this tension. Consciousness of family members' privacy and privacy in general is also emphasized.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:05
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah hee hee hee or cyber he was Salam o
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			Allah Melinda million pharaoh now and finally my attempt inna was in a menorah Bella Alameen
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:17
			llama in Allah Graeca or shook Rica was Neva lytic.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			To ask him, Allah subhanho wa taala, the Most Merciful the Most High
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:35
			that he would strengthen and support and guide us subhanho wa Taala on the journey
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:40
			of learning, our deen Islam.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:52
			Understanding his book understanding the Sunnah was messenger Alayhi Salatu was Salam and trying to
understand the best way to relate to him and to worship him subhanho wa Taala
		
00:00:54 --> 00:01:04
			so in this particular Hadith, and I want to give them enough time in sha Allah just to adjust what
they adjust, so we're good. We're good hamdulillah hamdulillah so
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			we've reached Hadith number four.
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:20
			And in this particular Hadith, the prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam said in Allah your hippo either I
mean I had to come and Milan a youth cleaner.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:41
			In Allah Hibou either amela had to come Amelie and youth cleaner, because a very short Hadith. But
you will see insha Allah and you realize the impact of that hadith once it's absorbed and once it's
applied. So here the Prophet sallallahu sallam said, Allah loves that when one of you does something
that they perfected,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:55
			that Allah loves that when one of you does something, meaning anything that would be pleasing to
Allah azza wa jal or anything that would be permissible, right? That they would perfect it.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:02:03
			So, when Allah azza wa jal or when the Prophet sallahu wa salam said, in ly your Hibou.
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:07
			One thing before we go into the details of that hadith
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:10
			is for us to underscore
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:18
			the fact that Allah azza wa jal loves and he loves in ways that are beyond our comprehension,
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:35
			meaning kind of the limit of Allah's love are beyond our comprehension. So think of with me, when
you think of any attribute of the attributes of Allah subhanho wa taala. Do we imagine that it has a
limit?
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:40
			No, right? So we say that Allah forgives.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:03:13
			So you can say Allah could forgive all sins. Right? Right. All sins, right? And as long as there
person is alive, all sins absolutely can be forgiven. So there is no even so in the Hadith, the
Prophet sallallahu sallam said that Allah azza wa jal says, he says, If you were to bring this earth
is filled with sins, and you come to me associating none with me, I will forgive all of them. Okay,
Macaulay salatu salam, so there is no limit to Allah's forgiveness. There is the limit to Allah's
power.
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:18
			We can so Allah can do everything right. Nothing can stand in his way.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:37
			In the same way, is there elimite to Allah's love, because it's also a divine attribute Sefa and
CIPA de la xojo. So Allah's love is far beyond your and my ability to love this, if Allah Zoda loves
you, He loves you more than you love him.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:51
			Even if you say I love Allah azza wa jal with every cell in my body, even if that is possible,
right? I love Allah azza wa jal and every waking minute
		
00:03:52 --> 00:03:54
			and even when I'm asleep,
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:08
			he said, we still say that Allah azza wa jal loves you more than you love him. Because Allah's
capacity for love is far greater than any human being because that is a creative capacity and that
is a divine capacity.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:19
			So when we understand that there is no limit to Allah's love, we must feel how immense and intense
it is.
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:31
			Not only Allah's power, and also the way that we treat Allah's power, it should be also the way that
we treat Allah's love in what way? That is, you see things on this earth
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:39
			and you know that they are displeasing to Allah azza wa jal does that indicate Allah's weakness?
		
00:04:40 --> 00:05:00
			No, but what do we say? That they are there for a reason but Allah azza wa jal if he wanted, he
could change all that in a blink of an eye. You're with me in a blink of an eye. So the fact that
there are things on this earth that run contrary to what Allah wants, does not indicate weakness,
but right
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:11
			Other wisdom that he allows them for a reason? So if there are things on this earth that may run
contrary in your and my head to the fact that Allah azza wa jal loves
		
00:05:14 --> 00:05:35
			do we interpret that as Allah being unloving? Or do we interpret that as being what that Allah
allows it for a reason. So if there is corruption and theft and murder and killing, and and and and
all of these things, and somebody looks at them and you say see this is all evidence that Allah azza
wa jal is uncaring and unloving.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:06:26
			Do we say that that's true? You say No, Allah azza wa jal on this earth and in your life, you will
be a witness to that the fact that there is greater love and greater courage, care and greater mercy
than the opposite in your life, in humanity's history, and its present condition, you will be a
witness that there is greater love than otherwise. But the fact is that there are some of humanity
and some of us when we accept the whispers of the shaytaan, what do we do is that we just harp on
and focus on the negative. And we already said what that negative is, the negative is there to serve
a purpose and Allah's plan, and Allah's master plan. But the fact is, when Allah has Zoda loves, He
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:41
			loves immensely, he loves completely subhanho wa Taala and you see evidence of that and everything
that is around you. Not the least of it is that Allah zodion had facilitated this earth and this
universe for your sake
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:58
			was a harlequin mushroom so welcome Radha eBay Nusa Hora hola como la isla Wanda. He had gave you
already facilitate for you, the sun and the moon constantly running and he facilitated for you day
and night. I mean, who is this greater for?
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:11
			For you, you understand? Okay, sometimes he might complain about things being too hot and too cold.
They don't go according to your plan. But Allah is telling you that the sun is running for you.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:35
			To see how big it is, the moon is running for you. The seasons are for you day and night are for
you. All these grand things are happening for you. And then you self claim that Allah does not love
and Allah does not care. Now Allah says love is far beyond comprehension. And no one can understand
the extent of Allah's love, except Allah.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:59
			As no one can understand the extent of Allah's power except him Subhana wa Taala so don't let what
you see or some of what you see on this earth. Reflect on and ludie lead you to conclude that Allah
as though did doesn't care, Allah does not love No, we have stronger evidence that he's apana what
Allah is the most loving and the or loving as He is the Most Merciful.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:22
			So, sometimes, as we said, sometimes if a person is going through difficult times, he's suffering
she's suffering. And the only thing that you could see is what the pain of your own suffering and
the fact that there is perceivably, no exit and there is no relief and you feel victimized because
of it, you feel undeserving ly
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:34
			subjected to that pain, then you may conclude that the Creator especially if you hear people say I
prayed and pray and there is no answer.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:41
			And I feel that Allah azza wa jal is not listening to me. And because of that, I'm beginning to lose
faith.
		
00:08:42 --> 00:09:24
			Because if he's there, he would listen. So suffering indicates lack of care, lack of love. Some
people may start thinking that Why are bad things happening to me one after the other. I didn't get
married or I get married and I lost my child, one and a second and a third. One trouble after the
other I got sick, my children got sick. Is it mean that Allah azza wa jal is after me he wants to
destroy me, Allah wants to punish me. So you start developing an image of Allah has xuejun of being
the Punisher, the vengeful, the one who's angry all the time. And when you start reading that in the
Quran, you go to is about hellfire, and these are valid and important ideas. But when you're wrapped
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:46
			ready, or well enough to receive them and interpret them, you start seeing this is a see this is all
evidence that Allah azza wa jal destroys and he hates and he just wants to smite that's what it is
level the earth to the ground. And you feel that, okay, you have to you want to run away, right? So
Allah azza wa jal
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:59
			doesn't really want to destroy you than he did He create you think about it rationally. And then
based on the Quran, did He create you in this form simply because he wants to punish
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:10
			You undestroyed you because that will go against wisdom. Think of any artist or a creator or a human
creator you you create something very beautiful very intricate,
		
00:10:12 --> 00:10:32
			very beneficial and you created simply to destroy it or do you want it to serve a function? You want
it to continue to live? If a person right what at the corner can let you know that was a magical
word in and Katha or Allah azza wa jal says in the Quran do not be like she who, after she had with
some things started to take it apart.
		
00:10:33 --> 00:11:12
			If there was something they said that there was this woman in Mecca, there was something you know,
wrong with her. So she would weave something once she's done, it's complete what she does, we'll
take it apart. So I'll throw it over Allah is really saying that when you make an oath, honor it
rather than you make an oath and you break it. But you understand that image where Allah brings in
the Quran, when you create you create for a reason. So Allah has created you to punish and destroy.
Allah says in the Quran, if Allah Allah hoga become in Ceccato momentum, what would Allah do? Why
would Allah punish you? If you obey and you're thankful? For what like what does he get from it?
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:21
			Right? So if we obey, we don't give Allah azza wa jal anything now if we disobey. And Allah does and
punishes us, what does he get back from it?
		
00:11:23 --> 00:12:08
			joy happiness, No, Allah Allah does not that. So if you think about it, Allah has is after me he
wants to destroy me he wants to punish me sake, remove these things away from your head, Allah azza
wa jal is not that is that you're looking at what is happening to you through this particular lens
blinds but that lens is inaccurate. Alright, so you need to change it so that you would see that
there is wisdom behind suffering behind the affliction, and that Allah azza wa jal does not get
anything from punishing or from affliction. And here, Allah azza wa jal let me see here there's a
code on page 44 And I refer to these codes simply because in case you read them or you're going to
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:11
			read them you'll be able to choose to go back to them.
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:58
			So he said hey, this is from noon with Tamia Rahim Allah, He says Lisa V Esma, Illa. Hill husana is
Manya todo mundo safe at a lot of you will either be well if you suffer it is safer to untangle the
valley. He says among Allah's most excellent name, there is no name of his that has the quality of
anger and punishment, and there is no attribute among his attributes that entails that right. So
what he's saying here, Rahim Allah is that Allah azza wa jal gets angry, right. So among his
attributes, is the attribute of anger. And Allah azza wa jal punishes, and among his attributes are
is the one who punishes. Now, do you find among the attributes of Allah as among the names of Allah,
		
00:12:58 --> 00:12:59
			the angry
		
00:13:00 --> 00:13:04
			alcohol, the oral health ban in the Quran? Now,
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:07
			do you find among them The Punisher?
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			No, the Avenger element of them.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:14:01
			You say no. And in fact, when I make a note that in the Quran in the book here, that the common wall
hangings that they see the names of Allah azza wa jal enumerated on them that list as one of those
names and Moontak him. We say that this is not a Hadith from the Prophet alayhi salatu salam that is
authentic to him. But what this is what they call it, a muda Raj, meaning one of the narrators, when
he is narrated the Hadith of the names of Allah azza wa jal that he has 90 names. He enumerated
them, not the sahabi not the prophet but one of the narrators. He said Allah azza wa jal has 999
names and he listed based on his own deduction from the Quran and Sunnah. So it's not a hadith
		
00:14:01 --> 00:14:44
			because that those enumerations have in them al moonta claim the Avenger but we say the avenger is
not one of the names of Allah azza wa jal because not there the Quran and it's not there in the
Sunnah. So make a note of this right? Whenever you see that, go back to the point that we're trying
to make. What does it mean that Allah has a name that is a Rahman Rahim, but not the angry and not
the Punisher. So the attributes of Rama with Allah azza wa jal is so constant that is elevated to
the level of a name. So Allah azza wa jal is always a Rahman are right. Right. As an exception, he
gets angry.
		
00:14:45 --> 00:14:59
			As an exception, so Allah is not angry all the time. Right? Allah is not angry all the time. But he
is he always merciful without interruption always merciful. Ramen ramen is filled with mercy
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:24
			Same thing that we will be talking about the name of a dude. The one who loves and is loved, that's
to Allah will have a name of Allah azza wa jal think about it in human terms so that you can relate.
So if you're a person who gives money, right, right, sometimes you donate here and there but that's
not a constant feature of yours. We will not call you the generous Right?
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:32
			Or if you sometimes are funny but in our funny all the times we will call you the funny guy.
		
00:15:33 --> 00:15:44
			Why is another common feature but if you're constantly funny, and you pass by US companies that that
funny guy because everybody will know why because every time we see him He makes us funny laugh
		
00:15:45 --> 00:16:13
			or every time we ask him for money he gives money so he's the generous constantly that becomes a
name and or a nickname. This elevated from a suffer from my quality into a name. So Allah azza wa
jal is Rama is constant, his creation, his forgiveness, these are the levels of name but these other
things which is to punish, to avenge and to be angry, these are exceptions. Now what makes Allah
angry?
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:23
			The sins sins of humanity make Allah assorted angry. Now, if we were to imagine that there is no
sin,
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:26
			would there would Allah be angry?
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:28
			No.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:17:10
			No, right? If you imagine that humanity could you know, manage for the next year or five years or
whatever, not sin at all, which is impossible to not sin at all. Allah will not be angry. So I'll
only becomes angry when something wrong happens Otherwise Allah is not. So this tells you that when
Allah Allah azza wa jal says, quote, It is prophets of Allah, Allah wa salam, he says in the
rahmati, Saba Catarratto be, My Mercy supersedes my anger. You understand why because mercy is that
common feature a name of Allah azza wa jal and grow once the people of heaven, enter Jannah they're
not going to be afraid of being punished. Allah is never going to be angry with them is always going
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:28
			to be merciful. And Allah Allah azza wa jal always will be blessing them. So, if we understand that
Allah azza wa jal loves, on an abstract level, and then in the Quran, and the sooner Allah azza wa
jal loves, than Allah azza wa jal cares,
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:54
			right? And if Allah azza wa jal cares, then Allah wants the best for you. So it's inconceivable no
matter what is happening to you or will happen to you. So I hope that if you're Hamdulillah, you
will find now at least remember this for later because of all of us have to be tested. That if Allah
azza wa jal puts you through some difficult times, Allah is not doing this because he wants to
simply quash you.
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:36
			He did not create you for this, but rather he wants to change, you elevate you, bring you closer to
him. subhanho wa Taala there is a plan for you. You just need to embrace it and ask Allah for
guidance. You don't need to fight it. Always do what Allah loves, but don't complain about him. He's
guiding you somewhere. So you believe in that from Allah subhanho wa taala. So that's why he sent
Muhammad Ali his salatu salam and that's why he sent the Quran and that's why there are obligations
and prohibitions and halal and haram and that's why everything that is around you is simply because
he cares about you. So no matter what happens, never assume that Allah azza wa jal is uncaring, or
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:44
			unloving, he's just waiting for you to come back to him. Subhanahu wa Taala and think about it Allah
azza wa jal does not need us
		
00:18:45 --> 00:19:29
			in any way. Think about the greatest and the strongest on this on Earth today. Do they know about
you? And if they know about you do they care about you know, write to them, you're almost nothing a
consumer may be. But a very small insignificant thing you live you die, it doesn't really matter to
them. Allah, the Creator of All right? The creator of all cares about you, specifically, personally.
Alright, so when you know, so I don't know what are the Allahu Anhu I passed away? He died. What did
he say? Alayhi Salatu was Salam. He said that the Throne of Allah azza wa jal shook for the death of
Saddam.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:38
			He's just one person. And you know, imagining the magnitude of Allah's throne is beyond us.
		
00:19:39 --> 00:19:43
			Why would that shake for the death of simple human being?
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:59
			That only tells you that sad mattered to Allah azza wa jal right and matter to the angels and
mattered even to the throne to the ashram Allah azza wa jal. So you could be here, someone very
small, invisible no one knows about you, but you could matter signal
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:08
			secondly to Allah azza wa jal and to the angels of Allah azza wa jal. So when we say one of the
names of Allah azza wa jal is Allah dude
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:18
			a name right? It means that what Allah The one who loves immensely because this is a an emphatic
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:46
			form alpha dude like alpha four okay Alpha dude means lone one who loves immensely and is loved
immensely, loves and is loved that's the name of attitude and if you love Allah azza wa jal or
rather if Allah zodion Loves You, Allah azza wa jal will put His love around you. So there is this
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:50
			I actually don't need it here.
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:34
			Where Allah azza wa jal says about Musa alayhis salam, welcome to alayka Mahabharata mini what is to
SNA Allah AMI is talking about Musa alayhis salam, but at that moment when he was still an infant,
while que tu alayka I surrounded you, for with a love from Me, so that you will grow under my
watchful eye. So what did that mean? Was that Musa alayhis salam, if you remember, right, so his
mother, put him deposited him under Allah's care right in the river in the Nile. And that carries
him all the way to the court, to the palace of the very person who is looking to kill him.
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:38
			So what is the thing that saves Musa alayhis salam
		
00:21:39 --> 00:21:41
			is that everybody who saw Musa loved him,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:44
			he can cannot resist it.
		
00:21:45 --> 00:22:20
			He cannot resist Musa Lisa if you see him, you would immediately fall in love with that boy. So
Allah azza wa jal, he says, I put love on you. And that love became what would save them. So if
Allah has Zoda loves you, He will put love around you and for you. And that love will be surrounding
you facilitating easing your way to Allah azza wa jal. The important thing here is that you will
love Allah enough for you to get this and we will encounter a hadith that is more explicit later on
about that, that part. So
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:25
			we already said the part that Allah azza wa jal.
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:35
			Allah is Love is unlike any other love, that you will encounter in your life. And that is because
Allah dude when he loves,
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:49
			he does one not does not want anything back from you. Right? In the sense of what? Yes, he wants you
to obey Him. Do the good, avoid the bad, but again, what does he get from that?
		
00:22:51 --> 00:23:03
			Like physically? Or any other sense? What does he get from this? This can nothing at all. So it goes
back to you. And you do it. Because you need it, do it because you need it.
		
00:23:04 --> 00:23:11
			Any other human loves you? They will love you. But they always want something from you. They have to
		
00:23:12 --> 00:23:24
			why? Because we are incomplete and we are deficient. So I'm always needing somebody around. So if I
love my wife, I'll give her a love. But is it that I'm expecting nothing back from her?
		
00:23:25 --> 00:23:42
			The same thing with a wife with her husband, or I'm giving my children love? Is it that I'm
expecting absolutely nothing back from them. I do want something back. We say but that's selfish. We
says but this is human because every human being needs something back who is the human who says I
need nothing absolutely at all.
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:57
			That's why it's interesting that Muhammad Rahim Allah one was making dua and he is saying that he
Allah, make me not need anyone from your creation. Say Muhammad Rahim. Allah is as this person has
just asked Allah for death.
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:38
			You follow? He, Allah make me independent, not need anyone from your creation. So he said, That
person is wishing for death. Because that's the only time when you will not need anyone. Otherwise
you have to need somebody. So you're dependent on and they depend on you. So Allah's love is so
complete, and so unique, that's very different, so he doesn't get anything from you. And that's why
you can give all of you to Allah azza wa jal because he does not expect anything back except what
just do the halal and haram do the obligations, avoid the Haram so that you could save yourself and
you'd be better but I don't want anything from you. I'm the one who's gonna give you everything.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:43
			Just give that to me. And I'll be the one who's giving you anything without any expectations.
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:45
			And
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:59
			of course, also just to emphasize another point, and we'll keep insha Allah emphasizing that it is
which is that it's not enough just to love him. Subhana Allah so I don't want anyone to
misunderstand
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:41
			Know what we're saying along this path you must love but you also have to have respect and honor and
fear of him subhanho wa Taala because if you don't, you would love him subhanaw taala just you like
love a friend or a spouse or an equal, and then when you hear, don't be sad, that's okay. He'll
forgive me. Just like your parents will tell you don't do this and you know that there are no
repercussions if you disobey. Why because they love you. Okay? But for Allah azza wa jal, that's not
the right type of love to have because if you just have love, it's a distorted relationship. If you
have fear, like we explained before, you just have fear. That's a distorted relationship, until you
		
00:25:41 --> 00:26:07
			have all of them together. So when you love Allah azza wa jal, but also you love him as your rub not
as your equal, not as a parent, not as a son. But you love him as someone who has power over you,
then you understand who Allah azza wa jal is, then you will rush to do what he wants. Because of all
these motivations, you will, you're afraid at times and you love at times, and you're hopeful at
times, but you need to have all of these things together.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:14
			Now, let's talk about the Hadith in particular, but before we say,
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:45
			why Allah azza wa jal loves that when we do something we perfect it. Let's also consider that Allah
azza wa jal when He created everything, he perfected it. Allah in His creation, He created it with
SN, Allah the SN Akula. Che in halacha. The One who created everything with a sun meaning
perfection, it is well created, it is beautiful, because when something is Hasson in the in the
Arabic language, right? What is Huson? Beautiful
		
00:26:46 --> 00:27:30
			and what is Hasson well made and they're connected with something is well made? It's beautiful and
what's beautiful, it's well made, right? So we want to emphasize both of these things. So when you
look at Allah's creation, to understand why is it that Allah azza wa jal loves a sun in our deeds,
because Allah azza wa jal had a son and everything that he created, so look how breathtaking it is,
and we need to take time to have this to court in the creation of Allah zoton A Lavina yet have a
Corona if you help us somehow it will or or Bernama halacha Battilana Subhana, if they want to
contemplate the creation of the heavens and the earth, you see, indeed Allah you did not create this
		
00:27:30 --> 00:28:15
			for nothing for play. So they see evidence of Allah's wisdom and evidence of Allah's goal and
purpose in the exact creation of Allah subhanho wa taala. From looking at the galaxies in the
universe, and the planets and how they run all the way to the smallest things that we see and the
things that we assume they exist, but we do not see like subatomic particles, electrons running all
the time, we assume that we've never seen them. But there is this constants, movement, precise
movement, and everything is in its place, and everything completes every other thing. And you see
beauty in color, beauty and relationships, beauty and punctuality and you see SN and all of it, and
		
00:28:15 --> 00:28:40
			you realize who is this medicine, Allah azza wa jal and you feel like eating food, and you eat one
type, and you feel like eating another and you eat another, and you feel like drinking something,
and you drink that and then you drink another and you feel like entertainment, and the new
entertains yourself. And there is beauty after beauty. And there's a son after SN and you never stop
and wonder who is the one who had given all of that to you.
		
00:28:41 --> 00:28:56
			And you see something and it makes you feel full on the inside. Sunset sunrise, beautiful animals
beautiful relationship, something that just nourishes your soul, that sentiment, that emotion, that
feeling who gave you the ability to experience
		
00:28:58 --> 00:29:24
			the comfort, right? The happiness when you have a child, when you see them succeed when you do
something nice, who gave you that ability, that experience? That is the Hilson that comes from the
person who's Allah azza wa jal. So when you see these things, stop, and thank him Subhana who were
to Allah just be grateful that you could feel this, that you could have that that you could
experience this because you were nothing
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:47
			like a black dot, a black dot, that was nothing and you became something that could feel all of
these things. So perfection. SN, again, indicates love and care. Right? So if you see somebody
really working on restoring a vehicle, a car
		
00:29:48 --> 00:29:59
			or somebody really, you know, putting an effort in cooking a meal. What do you immediately assume
about that, that effort? That person was restoring that vehicle, you'd say
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:12
			That's his hobby. He likes to do this. He loves this, right? Or this person who's cooking, and they
spent hours. He or she, they must love what?
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:56
			Cooking. That's why they want to create something special. Otherwise they wouldn't spend time on it.
So if Allah azza wa jal cares, and he creates something so beautiful, that indicates that he cares
about it. Otherwise, why created like that? And if he cares about it, that mean he loves it. That's
why it is there for because it also one of the things that it does is that it reminds you of him,
and it leads you to him. So in every thing that is created, there is a sign that leads you to Allah
azza wa jal and to who the designer is and who the creator is, right? You could trace it back to
him. Subhana wa taala. Or he cares he loves He knows.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:00
			Okay, he's wise, he could see it.
		
00:31:01 --> 00:31:11
			So a cent from Allah subhanho wa Taala is imperfection. Meaning it's so well made. And it's also
beautiful, right? And
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:20
			let's, again, refer here to the text. Even I'll tell you me, Rahim, Allah he says, Fear Allah,
Allah, He Kulu has an on Jimmy.
		
00:31:21 --> 00:31:26
			There's really beautiful, he said, the actions of Allah are all good and beautiful.
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:52
			The actions of Allah azza wa jal are all good and beautiful. Even the things that don't look like
that there is beauty in them. But it is to be uncovered later. Or if you expand your view, and
you're able to see fully the present and the past and if you need to be able to see it. But fear
Allah who couldn't know who could who hasn't Jimmy
		
00:31:53 --> 00:32:03
			and that's why one of the when the hours of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam, when he's praising
Allah azza wa jal, he says we're sure rule as a lake and evil is not from you.
		
00:32:04 --> 00:32:11
			Evil is not from you say Well, where is a Trump they say, evil is the product of humanity. Allah
creates it.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:20
			Allah creates it, we can't we don't have the ability to create. Allah creates it, Allah allows it,
but who decided that they wanted
		
00:32:22 --> 00:32:38
			us? So Allah says okay, it's gonna be gonna be but fear Allah He the actions of Allah zodion itself
is all beautiful. Evil exists in creation, but not in the actions of Allah azza wa jal, right?
		
00:32:41 --> 00:32:42
			No.
		
00:32:45 --> 00:32:57
			And there's also as we kind of to support that, when we said there is beauty in all of Allah's
creation. So there is Hadith, this Hadith from Raha Hamad
		
00:32:58 --> 00:33:20
			he the Prophet sallallahu wasallam. He said, once he followed a man, this is on page 48, he followed
a man until he profits a lot he was selling them, he just ran after him, and he grabbed him by the
clothes. And he said, If is our truck, lift up your lower garment. So this is a male. And the
Prophet sallallaahu Salam saw him.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:41
			So he walked after him, and then he ran after him. And then when he got him, he said, What? Lift up
your lower argument Mar a garment because it's below the ankles. So lift them up. So the man
uncovered his knees and he said, O Messenger of Allah, my legs, my legs are crooked, and my knees
collide.
		
00:33:43 --> 00:34:26
			Meaning he's at he's saying, what? Why am I covering them? Why is it this long? Because there is
what I consider to be a deformity there. It doesn't look nice. So I'm hiding it. I'm hiding. So the
prophets of Allah, Allah, he was telling me, he said, Could you have Tila here as Allah Hassan. He
says, All the creation of Allah zodat is beautiful. So the man continued to lift up his lower
garment to the middle of his life until he died. And he heeded the advice of the Prophet Alayhi
Salatu was Salam. And he did not extend his garment beyond his ankles. But I want you to understand
what the men felt and what the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said and what we can take from it. He
		
00:34:26 --> 00:34:40
			said, Okay, Mike legs, legs are crooked, my knees collide, it's just it's not a beautiful sight. I'm
covering that because it's not beautiful. And the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said, couldn't look at
Allah He has an all the creation of Allah is beautiful.
		
00:34:41 --> 00:34:59
			Now of course, there are things that are more beautiful than things right. They're not they're not
all at the same level of beauty. But what does he mean that all the creation of Allah is beautiful
here? Who made this? His legs? Allah azza wa jal? Do they serve a function? Yes. Do they carry you?
Yes.
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:17
			All right. Can anyone do something like that? No. So so when you look at it from that angle, isn't
it beautiful? Especially when you see who's behind it. So when you look at it like that, indeed Kulu
alquila He hasn't. He may say, oh my god, I mean, okay, I don't like snakes.
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:23
			I consider them to be ugly. In one sense, yeah, they are scary.
		
00:35:24 --> 00:36:02
			I don't like you know, the faces of the devils Allah. Allah says in the Quran, Salah haka, and the
horror also Shayateen describing the tree in hellfire. He says its fruits are like the faces or the
heads of the devils indicating that the heads of the devils are ugly. So in one sense, yeah, there
is things that are less beautiful or ugly. But if you look at them in terms of serving a function of
perfection, of creation, that Allah has it, it had deposited in them, so many things that work and
that in, you know, totality, they are needed, you will look back and you say they are beautiful.
		
00:36:03 --> 00:36:45
			You understand what I'm saying? They are beautiful, even if they squirt poison, but see how it's
there and see what it does and see the beauty in it. There's beauty in it, you can be scared, you're
right, you have a right to, but there's also beauty in it. So when you look at it in terms of all
the creation of Allah azza wa jal, it is beautiful. It changes your perspective about what is on
this earth and your relationship to it. And how you should suppose to maintain that beauty and
maintain that sin. Right? And so this man wrote who was worried about his body and how it looked
decided the profits of the body was hidden and was right. So this is the creation of Allah, there is
		
00:36:45 --> 00:37:02
			no need to hide it. Unless Allah tells you to hide it. Right? Right. So Allah tells you this is the
limit of your our, cover it loose clothing, et cetera, et cetera, you will do it but you will not
say, hey, my body is beautiful. I need to share it with everybody. Your body belongs to you or to
Allah.
		
00:37:04 --> 00:37:05
			Is by is your body yours?
		
00:37:07 --> 00:37:54
			No, your body belongs to Allah as you're supposed to do with it. Whatever Allah azza wa jal once,
you know, just evidence of that, can you just go and donate whatever part of your body you want? No.
Can't you have to ask Allah so can you end your life? It's my life. How come? My body welcome? As
you know, Allah azza wa jal is the governor of over it all. He tells you what you can do with it or
not. So when we see the creation of Allah azza wa jal that it's all beautiful. And it's created with
SN, we receive that with being content and grateful content with whatever Allah has given you.
Because Allah had given you beautiful things. You don't not gonna come back and say I'm not as
		
00:37:54 --> 00:38:38
			beautiful as so and so. Or it's not I'm not as thin as thin as thorns or so and so, not as tall not
as this not as that. Look at whatever Allah had given you, whoever it took, take it and be thankful
for it because there is beauty in it. So see the beauty of Allah azza wa jal in how he created you
don't now start comparing color to a color size to a size and say they are more beautiful. Why are
you denying the beauty of Allah azza wa jal in how and what he had created and had given to you. So
take it, be content with it, and thank Allah azza wa jal for it and when you do this, you will be
rich and you'll be satisfied. If you don't, you will always be chasing an ideal that is an illusion.
		
00:38:39 --> 00:38:44
			Because you will always think that somebody is more beautiful, somebody has what you don't have.
		
00:38:45 --> 00:39:11
			And as I said also that if we see that Allah Azusa has created everything with beauty, you want to
preserve it everything with a sun you want to preserve it and that is the second part that we will
focus on. When he said Ali is Salatu was Salam. O Allah loves that if you do anything that you do it
with perfection, you do it right you do it well. So it will claim Rahim Allah He see he said here
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:39
			he said where the shine was met he'll husana This is the case with his most excellent names are
Hubble healthy Haley human ethos of Abu Dhabi, her well behaved home Ella human Atlas of Hubie Abadi
her, the most beloved of his creation to him are the ones who adopt their consequent qualities and
the one whom he hates, or the most who adopt its opposite qualities. So if you don't get this, think
about it. If Allah is merciful, He loves what?
		
00:39:40 --> 00:39:48
			Mercy so the more merciful you are, the more Allah loves you. There's a hadith exactly about that.
We'll come to it.
		
00:39:50 --> 00:39:59
			If Allah is Forgiving, he loves forgiveness. So you have to forgive, for Allah to love you and the
more that you forgive, the more Allah loves you
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:06
			Now that that does not apply to all of the nine Names of Allah Zodac some of the names of Allah are
only his
		
00:40:07 --> 00:40:16
			alma mater kept bear, the one who is greater than add anybody else. Should we assume Kip? No, we
need humility.
		
00:40:17 --> 00:40:33
			So that does not work for us. But some of the names of Allah azza wa jal, their consequent qualities
as they move jabya You should adore adopt and if you adopt, Allah loves you. So as we said, the Rama
and forgiveness and generosity and Kareem
		
00:40:34 --> 00:40:40
			is more generous you are the more that Allah has Zota loves you. So here, if Allah does
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:59
			with SN and his own were sin, then when you act with Hasan, Allah loves you. So that's one why we
should when we do things to perfect them, and how would you do with our behave with your son, you do
things right. And you do them beautifully.
		
00:41:00 --> 00:41:10
			Like you take care of the details, the form, but also the content, make sure that it's beautiful,
and it functions in everything that you do
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:20
			in religious and in non religious terms. Now in religious terms, that's easy to see. But it's
important to remember
		
00:41:22 --> 00:41:29
			or to claim meaning do your Salah with its con, with perfection with a Hassan How do I do that?
		
00:41:31 --> 00:42:12
			You say you do it in form, and spirit, form and content how meaning you learn the obligations, you
learn this sooner you do it on time, you don't delay it. You respond to the event, you do it in JAMA
and from the beginning from tech beer to the slim you're doing it according to the Sunnah of the
Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam. So this is what a form of SN and the more that you do have that the
more that Allah has Zoda loves you for it, because you care about the Salah, same thing with fasting
same same thing with Zika, hajj and umrah the more that you learn how to the more Allah loves you.
And the How to is the Sunnah of Rasulullah is Allah is Allah. But is that enough?
		
00:42:14 --> 00:42:34
			What do you need also? The content. So you concentrate and you have who sure in it presence of mind
and humbleness before him Subhan Allah to Allah, concentration, do sincerity loss, because that's
the spirit of everything that you do. So when you do it with Ehsaan, Allah loves you.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:43:05
			So that is true with all acts of worship, when you want to do them. Allah loves what we do them
right? Not casually, not offhand not simply to dismiss them because you want to do them and you want
to forget about them. So that's a very different attitude. That's not so fun. And that's not it
can't but like somebody who's engrossed in his hobby in the thing that makes him happy, they give it
time and care until it comes out right? So is Salah.
		
00:43:06 --> 00:43:26
			So is reading the Quran, it's not a go I'll read whatever, read it. Right pronunciation, right
presence of mine, or there's something I don't understand, let me go and understand, care about it.
And the more that you care, the more that it means. So this is religiously, but all also inwardly
deeds.
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:40
			Like not only religious deeds, because that hadith is general when you do some thing Allah wants you
to do a try the why is it that inwardly deeds, Allah wants perfection from us, or ASN.
		
00:43:41 --> 00:43:52
			Now for a couple of reasons. Because the more that you enhance, and improve the things that you do,
even in worldly sense, the more that you help people around you
		
00:43:54 --> 00:44:12
			improve the quality of what you produce. And you protect people from harm when you do this and you
inspire them to act and do it better. And if you do that for the sake of Allah hazarded it's a bad
idea that if in your head you're saying that okay, if I'm driving
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:49
			and I'm driving right with it, Khan and SM mean I'm not harassing the person to the right or the
person to the left. I'm not harming anyone observing the speed limit I'm doing doing it try to why
are we doing it right? Even if there is no cop and there are no cameras, why are you doing a try?
Because I heard this hadith that Allah azza wa jal loves it that if I were to do this, I do it with
SN so not harming anyone. And then following the law. And if you do this, if I and he and she all of
us do this, there'll be fewer accidents, fewer pain, fewer misery.
		
00:44:50 --> 00:44:53
			When you line up to buy something.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:59
			Just queuing up for something and how you stand for it should indicate
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:09
			Your email can and should indicate your lack or should indicate your love for Allah azza wa jal
because what because you want to perform it with ESSA, it needs to be right.
		
00:45:12 --> 00:45:15
			If you've seen people who when they shop, they take their shopping carts outside,
		
00:45:17 --> 00:45:58
			and they don't return it back, they leave it in the parking lot. And he may say to yourself, Well,
everybody's doing it, why shouldn't I? And you leave it in that spot? Is that a sin? Or is that a
con? No. There what is the SN? If even if nobody else is doing it? What's the SR to take it back?
Even if you're not going to be penalized for it, even if you did not insert a coin and you don't
want your coin back? Nothing, none of that. But the SN is what? You hold yourself and I Help You I
hope you remember this. You hold yourself to higher standards because you're a servant of Allah azza
wa jal, and you know that Allah created all of this with Epson every inch of it with Epson, why
		
00:45:58 --> 00:46:01
			should you go against his wishes and corrupted and spoil it?
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:16
			Then you preserve the sound of Allah as origin by acting in NSN. So I'll take it all the way inside.
And if I somehow find something that are dropped from the shelf and the in the grocery store, I'll
pick it up and put it back.
		
00:46:17 --> 00:47:03
			No one sees you and no one needs to commend you. And there is no certificate of greatness. But I
realized that Allah has Zoda loves this, it's plan so you do it for Allah azza wa jal, no one is
going to trip over it is not going to spoil. It's not going to rake Gila as Odin. If that becomes
you, then that becomes a habit. And that becomes a standard, then everything that you do, will have
that quality in it, you'll come naturally to so how you drive how you cross the road, right? How we
greet people, when you come to the mess did we would not need to tell people don't double park,
don't park in illegals or you don't need to tell anybody. While everybody's doing it. You're not
		
00:47:03 --> 00:47:03
			anybody.
		
00:47:05 --> 00:47:06
			Can you think like that?
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:20
			I'm not I'm this is not arrogance. This is simply holding yourself to the standards that Allah wants
you to hold yourself to. And not anybody. I'm not going to park like that. I'm not going to lie
because everybody's lying.
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:43
			I'm not going to cheat because everybody is cheats, I'm not going to commit that sin because
everybody does it. So this is the SN that Allah has Zoda loose. And when you remember that it's
conditional, Allah loves it. When I do this, you will start practicing SN everywhere. So if the
doctor becomes a medicine, right,
		
00:47:44 --> 00:47:50
			then he will heal people, not for the sake of money, not for the sake of fame.
		
00:47:51 --> 00:48:10
			But for the sake of helping people. If an engineer or an architect or a developer designs and builds
homes, they will design and build homes, that will be the best for people not for the sake of money,
you still need money, but you're doing it what even if no one is watching, you're not going to cut
corners.
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:17
			Why Allah loves it when I do it, right. Because when I build a home, someone is going to live there.
		
00:48:18 --> 00:48:56
			Their family is going to be there, I'm responsible for it, it has to be the best that it can, when
you do electrical wiring, a plumbing job, right? Whatever it is, I'll do the best that I can. Not
whatever I can, so I can take their money the best that I can. Because someone is going to drive
this, somebody is going to dependent on it. And Allah loves it when it's right. And if I do that,
perhaps Allah Azza to Wilson those types of people to you. Right. So here Allah Zota loves it when
you do things, right. Right. And that is excellence in Islam,
		
00:48:57 --> 00:49:39
			which is I, at the end of the chapter, I highlight it is different from excellence in capitalism.
Capitalism will push you to excel, but only to a certain level. And when no one is watching will
take advantage of you, that will take your money. So there is no morality in capitalism, and you
don't care about the person, you care about the product. And as long as you can convince them to buy
you'll keep doing this. But a person who does things things right they will do it for Allah azza wa
jal and if you don't need this thing, they will tell you don't buy it. Because that is a sin. You
don't need it. This phone is not different than the one that was issued last year. Don't buy it.
		
00:49:41 --> 00:49:46
			That is the sand that Allah azza wa jal loves caring about other people, and what happens to them.
		
00:49:47 --> 00:49:59
			So remember, this hadith of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam. Allah loves it. When you do things
you do them right. So do things that around you, right? And as Allah azza wa jal has
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:22
			done has filled this world with a SAN add to it. Please don't take away from it. Because we have so
many of us humans today that corrupt on this earth and that spoil the gifts of Allah azza wa jal and
they destroy it. We don't need yet another person to do that. So be always wherever you are,
wherever you sit wherever you go, a net positive,
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:30
			a better that is we know even if we don't know but Allah knows you're better because you're here
		
00:50:32 --> 00:50:58
			and you better because when and you're better because you visited so do things better and hold
yourself to that standard and let the motivation be the love of Allah zodion Perhaps if we put an
effort there, one of these things could be the things that could forgive our sins. Allahu Allah. So
hamdulillahi rabbil Alameen give you a chance in sha Allah to ask questions. Let me know if you have
any political love
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:04
			or anything online that's fine as well in sha Allah if there's something
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:09
			I'll give you a minute in sha Allah to think about it
		
00:51:14 --> 00:51:15
			yeah, please
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:16
			honey because
		
00:51:18 --> 00:51:19
			God said I'm gonna have to love it
		
00:51:27 --> 00:51:28
			I'm sorry I cannot hear
		
00:51:31 --> 00:51:31
			that
		
00:51:40 --> 00:52:12
			Baraka Lafayette comm I'll repeat this inshallah it's not me I mean Barack Allah if he can, but I'll
convey it so that those who have made it will will appreciate that so the sister is saying that she
believes that the book was made with a lot of perfection because the the quality of the book the
colors and the design and all of that indicates care in the book. So for for the designers for the
editors for the publishers I'm just sharing that so that we would thank them for that Baraka law.
Thank you for that for that feedback about like a lot of this is a common law
		
00:52:16 --> 00:52:16
			Yeah.
		
00:52:25 --> 00:52:28
			I need you to repeat it. I'm sorry. Yeah, come closer.
		
00:52:39 --> 00:52:40
			Okay, so,
		
00:52:41 --> 00:53:20
			so we mentioned that forgive others so that Allah would forgive you? What happens if I cannot
forgive someone? Does that mean that Allah azza wa jal is not going to forgive me? That's your
question. It does not mean that it does not mean that. But what we said is that it prompts you, it
motivates you to be more forgiving. Now, it's not a condition, you don't have to forgive every
single person in your life, for every single thing that they have done. You have the right of you
have been wrong not to forgive. And that is absolutely your prerogative, right, this is yours. But
we're saying that, if you think about how much Allah Zoda is willing to forgive us, of all the bad
		
00:53:20 --> 00:53:39
			things that we have done, and maybe if you think about the other person, that if they ask Allah to
forgive them, that even that could be all the things that they have done could be forgiven. That
kind of kind of paves the way for you to become a more forgiving person. And if you can't forgive
that person, now, it could happen later.
		
00:53:41 --> 00:54:12
			So you don't need to trouble yourself with the fact of I can't forgive him. Now. Does that mean that
I'm an unforgiving person? It could come later. But at least what absorb the fact that Allah zodion
is so forgiving that there is no sin that is too big. And slowly you'll be able insha Allah to adopt
that same thing with people. There's always a limit to humanity, right? can't forgive absolutely
everything. But we'd be more forgiving than we are now. And that's what we want. Allah
		
00:54:13 --> 00:54:13
			loving
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:24
			none so I probably will just announce it. So happy bookstore in a tobiko
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:36
			that's the that's the place that sells it. So when we bought it last time, we bought it from that
store, right? So they still have copies and shell it's about 20 minutes from here or something like
that. So I hope it's easy for you.
		
00:54:38 --> 00:54:40
			Yeah, one online question.
		
00:54:49 --> 00:54:59
			How do we train ourselves to accept something that goes against what we want and trust Allah azza wa
jal. So something is upsetting you is angering you. distressing you
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:23
			And you see it and it seems like you keep seeing it. And how do you train yourself to accept it? And
trust Allah azza wa jal. Now by accepting the thing, we don't mean by it, to like it necessarily,
right? There are things that you see that are upsetting to Allah azza wa jal, we should never accept
those, right. But if you mean accepting it in terms of,
		
00:55:24 --> 00:55:48
			I can't change it. So I have accept the reality that it's there. If you mean that type of
acceptance, then there are ways to accept it. And the ways to accept it or to train yourself to
accept it is to always remind yourself who is behind it, and who is allowing it to happen. So
interrogate yourself, ask yourself, Why am I resisting this. So if I'm telling you, if I'm telling
you,
		
00:55:50 --> 00:56:08
			there is, I don't know something, X, Y, and Z, bad, bad, that is bad happening now. You would resist
that you would hate that you'd feel tight. If I tell you what, as long as it's happening, we'll try
our best to remove it. But as long as it's happening, understand that Allah is allowing it to
happen.
		
00:56:09 --> 00:56:17
			Okay, you will be more accepting of that, right? Not necessarily loving it, but more accepting,
because you realize, there's a reason why.
		
00:56:18 --> 00:56:33
			And if you train yourself to believe that there is a reason why even beyond what you can conceive
of, then you trust him Subhana what to Allah to eventually show you that reason, teach you what it
is, and eventually to remove that hardship.
		
00:56:34 --> 00:56:48
			So the things that we hate are categories, things that we it's a loss, something that I love, and I
lose it, how do I accept its loss? One is the with time,
		
00:56:49 --> 00:56:56
			time heals. But beyond that, also to ask yourself again, is this loss permanent?
		
00:56:57 --> 00:57:24
			If I lose something, whatever it is, is this loss permanent? No, no loss is permanent. So if you
lose a loved one, will they be resurrected again? And will I see them again? Okay, if I lose money,
if I lose a job, anything in the dunya, will Allah compensate me? So have you lost anything? No,
there is still pain. But if you think about it, in those terms, Your pain will decrease.
		
00:57:25 --> 00:57:43
			And if you know that Allah rewards you, for every minute, for every second of discomfort and pain
that you go through, you realize that there is benefit in it. Right? And sometimes there's greater
benefit in what distresses you than in the things that comfort you.
		
00:57:44 --> 00:57:45
			You believe that?
		
00:57:46 --> 00:57:56
			Right? So the things that discomfort you that upset, you have a quality of sending you to Jannah
more than the things that comfort you
		
00:57:57 --> 00:58:01
			right? So they there's a Hadith of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam.
		
00:58:02 --> 00:58:15
			When he said that layers Allah will mean he had DM Shannon most of the OMA Allah He hotly. So
affliction will continue to surround or visit a believer until they will walk on this earth without
a sin.
		
00:58:16 --> 00:58:32
			Without they will walk on this earth without a single sin. So some of the commentator commentaries,
they said, This is because affliction has greater qualities or ability to remove sin than good
deeds.
		
00:58:33 --> 00:58:38
			Why? He says, because a lot of the good deeds that we do, we do but they are imperfect.
		
00:58:40 --> 00:58:47
			You do But you forget you daydream there's not a lot of sincerity in them that so they're not really
that strong.
		
00:58:48 --> 00:58:50
			But when affliction comes, it just wipes clean.
		
00:58:52 --> 00:59:04
			So how do you train yourself? You make dua, and you make a ton of dua, and you ask Allah as urgent
and take all that energy that you have all of those emotions and pour them in your door.
		
00:59:05 --> 00:59:47
			All of your frustration, all of your anxiety, all of your fear, take it and put it in that DUA and
you will feel better and ask Allah for relief and you will see the relief coming to you from ALLAH
SubhanA wa Tada. So, just accustom yourself to the fact that everybody has to lose, nobody actually
really loses because you will see it from Allah azza wa jal and that the more that you ask for
Allah, the more that Allah will take away though your pain and that in every minute that you're
going through this, Allah azza wa jal is removing your sins and is elevating you and is taking care
of you. You do this and with time it will be better and better in the laws. And it's difficult in
		
00:59:47 --> 00:59:48
			the beginning, easier with time.
		
00:59:50 --> 00:59:50
			Yeah.
		
00:59:54 --> 00:59:55
			I can't hear you. I'm sorry.
		
00:59:58 --> 00:59:58
			Forgiveness
		
01:00:17 --> 01:00:20
			Well, that'd be held accountable for what I'm sorry.
		
01:00:22 --> 01:01:05
			Okay, so let me see if I understood it because I got half of it maybe. So you have family members,
and then immediate family is stopping you from connecting and talking to other family members? Is
that it? That's basically it. So is so let's say, for instance, a parent asks you not to talk to
your cousins, something like that. So will they be responsible for severing the ties of kinship?
That your question? So I mean, first of all, it goes back to whether they really have a good reason
for that or not. So sometimes, maybe the parents, they do have a good reason, that person is a
corrupting influence. They're not really good for you cetera, et cetera. So they have a good
		
01:01:05 --> 01:01:44
			religious reasons for that, then you listen to them, and they will do not sin because of that.
Because if they're trying to protect you, and protect yourselves by that distance, then yeah, listen
to them. Actually, that would be the thing that you have to do. If they are transgressors, in that,
they're asking you not to talk, but they have crossed Allah's bounds. And they are severing ties of
kinship than they sin because of that. There you are in a dilemma. Because on the one hand, they are
they are your parents asking you not to do or to do something. On the other hand, you know, that you
saw, it's supposed to connect with your cousins and what have you. So what should you do, you will
		
01:01:44 --> 01:02:27
			seek the least of two harms, because you can go against your parents or you can go and it means stop
talking to your cousin. So which is the least of two harms, okay, distance from the cousin, rather
than the parents because if you go against the parents is going to be a bigger problem. So you could
keep while this is happening, making dua to Allah as though to change their mind. Yeah, Allah, Allah
will fix this and fix this and fix this. But stay close to what your parents want from you. And I
know your question is generic in general. And I'm trying to answer a general question so I don't
know if the details exactly follow what I'm trying to give Allah but just listen to your parents up
		
01:02:27 --> 01:02:42
			until a time in sha Allah that they could change their minds. So just keep making dua for them right
but not the least of two harms because both of these things are wrong, but the list of two harms are
lowered inshallah go ahead can Salam Rahmatullah?
		
01:02:58 --> 01:03:00
			Steaming is glorification you say
		
01:03:14 --> 01:03:19
			Nam so you're specifically referencing ignore claims quote here and your
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:22
			page 46 Right.
		
01:03:23 --> 01:03:28
			So when he says here in the Arabic Big Daddy Mahabharata of me right,
		
01:03:29 --> 01:03:51
			combines with steaming the beloved and glorifying him Yeah, it is on reverence. So that's what it is
that Allah has Zota does great, and you stand in awe of him Subhan Allah to Allah in fear that is
connected with respect. So it's not just simple fear, but also fear that is connected with the glory
of Allah azza wa jal the majesty of him Subhanallah with that that's what it is
		
01:03:57 --> 01:03:58
			objective of a badda
		
01:04:11 --> 01:04:11
			no
		
01:04:15 --> 01:04:17
			go over time for sure.
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:25
			Like, a lot of
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:31
			people will have chapters and submission offers during certain periods.
		
01:04:33 --> 01:04:56
			Now Now it's not gonna hurt so good question actually. So the question is that the a bed of Allah
azza wa jal he says when we define that we said that they divided the bed of Allah azza wa jal is
complete submission to Allah azza wa jal and complete love complete surrender with utmost love. So
this is complete and that complete. So the question here, do they go hand in hand, right? Or did
they begin together right? So what you said
		
01:04:59 --> 01:05:00
			is
		
01:05:00 --> 01:05:45
			One is prerequisite for the other does one follow the other? Or do they kind of kind of proceed
together? We say in the beginning, in the beginning, it'd be more surrender than love. So the person
who just accepts Islam, they may have some love for Allah, Allah zodat. And that is why they want to
become Muslim. But we cannot imagine whether it's a person who is just growing into Islam or a
person who is embracing Islam, we can imagine that their love for Allah azza wa jal at that moment
when he's just starting to practice is a great love. But what they're asked to do is to surrender.
Surrender, first embody, and at least in a minimal way, in spirit as well. So in body attempts to
		
01:05:45 --> 01:06:02
			Salah pray, will do, right fasting, that thing grows the love of Allah azza wa jal. So the
submission and the surrender grows the love of Allah azza wa jal, so the love of Allah, there's
always a minimum, that is required for a person to be Muslim, but it grows with time.
		
01:06:04 --> 01:06:34
			And it gets greater and bigger, the more that you worship Him, Subhanahu wa to Allah. And then we'll
see some of these Hadith that will show that, that the more that you do, the more the love grows.
But you can't wait for that love to exist, especially in its greatest form, to start worshipping
Allah first and that will worship no worship comes by sometimes fearing Allah azza wa jal compelling
yourself for worship, hoping for Janna, whatever motivation and then love is
		
01:06:35 --> 01:06:51
			the fruit of these things. So the more that when you worship Allah out of fear, worship Allah out of
hope, develop a relationship with Him Subhan Allah to Allah and know him better than you get the
fruit which is the love of Allah subhana wa Taala at that intensity and magnitude that we talked
about.
		
01:06:55 --> 01:07:06
			Yes, so that submission is the key that will take you to the level Allah has noted at those higher
levels, but it needs perseverance and patience and dua for you to get that fruit
		
01:07:07 --> 01:07:07
			back
		
01:07:10 --> 01:07:11
			in
		
01:07:13 --> 01:07:14
			the
		
01:07:16 --> 01:07:16
			air
		
01:07:25 --> 01:07:56
			Yeah, so the Hadith of the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam, habla Malik and Allah He had women who
were in KL, the most beloved day to Allah azza wa jal is the most consistent even if it is small.
That does relate to this, right? And I'm going to add that hadith is in the book. So it's one of the
headings that we have talked about insha Allah so just remind me the last Zoda that when we talked
about talk about that, to connect it to this one, so it's a good connection. Or there's me cry, I'm
sorry, because I've neglected the sisters. Yeah. Yeah. You
		
01:07:57 --> 01:07:58
			online
		
01:08:05 --> 01:08:45
			what is what is the motivation you have for someone who wants to practice SN and they're a Buddha,
but they are not motivated? So the easiest thing is to ask Allah for it. So ask Allah so if you
realize that something is important, but you have to have the energy to do it, or you don't have the
mood to do it, ask Allah for it. Allah helped me to practice this way, or to improve my brother.
Also understand, you know, in addition to this, that Allah azza wa jal loves this. So if you want
the love of Allah subhanho wa Taala and if you have the love of Allah, you have everything, see one
below of Allah, then start practicing smaller acts of Sn so you can start small SN and how you speak
		
01:08:45 --> 01:09:26
			SN and how you respond. So and how you take care of animals, how you deal with your siblings, SN and
your DUA, buts just start improving. And then when you add small things in your life, Allah xojo is
done for his 600 Allah, Allah opens other doors of Sn. So do SN because in terms of our bringing the
sun into your life, through dua, through incremental acts of Sn small acts of ESA and maybe also get
the assistance of the Dhikr of Allah as origin. So remember Allah more so schedule and plan for
		
01:09:28 --> 01:09:59
			100 stuck for Allah in the morning and 100 to stuff or law at night 100 Allahumma salli ala
Sayyidina Muhammad in the morning and 100 at night. So fill your tongue and your heart and your ears
with the remembrance of Allah Azzawajal because when you feel closer to him Subhan Allah to Allah,
you're more likely to do things for his sake. Okay, and take care of you're a badass. So make sure
push yourself even if you're not motivated, when it's time for Salah salah. Alright,
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:17
			right even if you don't feel like at the time for Salah Salah okay at time for who would sing away
from a haram stay away from the Haram okay? And listen to the rest of the Hadith that we're talking
about. Okay, so that's what I can do in sha Allah
		
01:10:23 --> 01:10:55
			Now Nam pray as you are as if Allah is if you can see Allah but if not then Allah sees you and that
is definitely is a common law here. That is definitely a way to increase SN that is to see that
Allah Zota is watching you, but bring that in by the Dhikr of Allah azza wa jal because you're gonna
forget. So remember Allah has Zota that he's there watching you by the Dhikr of Allah azza wa jal so
more is the far the more of hamdulillah the more of all of these ADKAR the closer you RPMs pan Oh,
		
01:10:56 --> 01:11:01
			okay, so I want to take maybe one more question and then we'll stop here
		
01:11:22 --> 01:11:23
			this cruelty back
		
01:11:33 --> 01:11:34
			yeah
		
01:11:41 --> 01:12:24
			so how do you maintain a relationship with relatives that you deal with Inessa but they reply with
ingratitude and hurting you, basically, that's what they do. How do you deal with that? So, you
know, first of all, the someone any, the as the prophets, Allah, Allah was telling them that and
that he said, I have relatives or pseudo homeboy, Dr. Oni he says, You know, I connect with them and
they disconnect from me. I'm good to them and they're bad to me. What do I do? So with prophets,
Allah audio salami says if this is what is true for Ghana to suffer hormonal, as if you are feeding
them ashes, Ash, like warm ash or hot ash, meaning because you're doing giving them good and they're
		
01:12:24 --> 01:12:32
			playing with evil, the consequence of what they are doing right it's as if they are receiving hot
coal or hot ash meaning they are punished for that.
		
01:12:33 --> 01:12:35
			Meaning hidden, tell them stop,
		
01:12:36 --> 01:13:20
			tells them continue. And don't pay attention to how they are replying. Keep with your good because
if that's what is happening, Allah reward you for it. And they'd get punished for what they're
doing. So don't stop the good that you're doing. So if you're a person who's strong enough to
continue to do this, keep doing it. Keep going to be keep being kind, caring, okay, taking care of
them for Allah xojo Not for their sake but for Allah Azza even if they don't, right if you're that
strong if you're not then you could minimize that relationship right? Because you can take their
pain without cutting it completely but minimize to protect yourself from harm but don't forget
		
01:13:20 --> 01:13:26
			kindness once in a while right? So minimize if you need to without God or Rahim
		
01:13:27 --> 01:13:32
			or continue to be as good or even more good if you can do it for the sake of Allah is
		
01:13:35 --> 01:13:39
			there still you really okay go ahead just for you. Okay, go ahead.
		
01:13:40 --> 01:13:41
			Go ahead ask
		
01:13:49 --> 01:13:52
			Is there any difference between the and meditation I'm sorry
		
01:13:53 --> 01:13:55
			dua donation
		
01:13:58 --> 01:13:58
			that allowed her
		
01:14:01 --> 01:14:02
			do it meditation
		
01:14:06 --> 01:14:09
			any relationship between the art and meditation
		
01:14:10 --> 01:14:13
			meditation is far inferior to do.
		
01:14:14 --> 01:14:27
			So meditation is not related to a Allah azza wa jal or any divine presence. Meditation just asks you
to quiet your thoughts to concentrate to be still control your breathing, not to think about things
or certainly
		
01:14:28 --> 01:14:59
			think about certain things. Its origins are not from Islam, but from a different religion, Eastern
religions. So the source is not right. The practice is incomplete. It doesn't give you what Allah
azza wa jal wants you to have. Do I, on the other hand, directs you to whom Allah azza wa jal and
you're asking him and you're talking to him and you're concentrating, so it gives you a lot more
than meditation. Meditation is a human technique. You're relying on other human beings to teach you
and you're relying on your own
		
01:15:00 --> 01:15:47
			Self to benefit your own self. And there was a lot that we can say about meditation but it is
inferior. Right? It doesn't help. Even it could it could calm your nerves yes, there might be some
minor secondary benefits to it. Yeah, we can we can see that. But the benefit that you truly one
doesn't lie in the benefit that you truly want once in connecting with Allah azza wa jal and in
talking to him and emptying your head of everything but him so in meditation you need a blank brain
or head just to simply be still in Islam we say no, empty your head of everything except Allah has
his origin so magnify Him on the outside as you magnify Him on the inside. So that answer
		
01:15:49 --> 01:15:50
			I'm sorry.
		
01:15:52 --> 01:15:53
			correct way to make dua
		
01:15:54 --> 01:16:01
			do is easy. I mean, there are adept manners to it but why is so easy to use? Raise your hands and
that's it.
		
01:16:06 --> 01:16:10
			Oh for you, I mean, you can be agitated and you can make dua you don't need to be calm.
		
01:16:13 --> 01:16:14
			Like to work
		
01:16:17 --> 01:16:58
			with that's true, but I mean, the persons are people who are drowning on a ship and the crying to
Allah, Allah save us. That's a DUA and Allah answers that. It doesn't have to be calm and peaceful,
right? It can be but it doesn't have to. So it is between you and Allah azza wa jal right so you
could be at a time so agitated so screaming to Allah Allah helped me. It's not that you had there's
other of law on your voice, adorable cantata, raffia. Right. You know, plead with Him and let it be
privately. But it doesn't mean that if you scream your DUA because of your abilities, your emotions,
Allah is not going to accept it. So that's something that is one of the easiest thing that you can
		
01:16:58 --> 01:17:15
			have. Now if you want to have say manners we can say, faces the Qibla raise your hands have Waldo on
it, in the beginning, praise Allah azza wa jal with the appropriate phrases that connect to what you
want to say. So yeah, Kareem give me our hub give me a Rahim era for inferiorly
		
01:17:17 --> 01:17:54
			since Allah and salam upon the Prophet alayhi salaatu wa salaam All this is due right and it's good
to have all of this but these are add up so I'd also don't want to complicate it by saying unless
you have this you can make dua dua is as simple as you feel something and see Allah Allah will add I
mean this and that. And then if you want to observe the Adapt go ahead and observe it, but I'm not
going to say unless you observe the Adapt demanders of you can make it no sense why do is easy, so
practice it whenever you feel make dua make us you're walking into the masjid outside the mister to
car something pops into your head make dua
		
01:17:55 --> 01:18:15
			just like they could have Allah so to just make dua, right? You remember somebody who had passed
away make dua, somebody somebody in distress make dua, okay, so that you'd be connected all the time
to Allah azza wa jal that way. Allah Allah so you've just a common law here i Subhanak along with
him the shadow Allah either inlanta stuff, go to a court hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen
