Ali Hammuda – Qur’an in the Night – Episode 04 – True Servants of Allah

			salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Dear brothers and sisters at hamdu lillahi wa Salatu was
Salam O Allah Milena via the hawala as he was a big man. Welcome to episode number four as we
discuss certain topics, as were addressed by Allah subhanho wa Taala. In his book, in our previous
episode, we look at the topic of popularity how Allah Almighty speaks about fame, the accepted
realities of society and how we are to judge certain methods, even if they are so popular and
adopted by the common culture, how we are to assess whether they are good for us or not.
		

			Today we're going to be looking at another topic, how the Quran speaks about the true servants of
Allah Almighty, for those who want the very top prize of Paradise and the pleasure of Allah, not
wanting to be mediocre Muslims. Here is a set of descriptions given to us by Allah Almighty.
		

			An employee who had been searching for the ideal job for years on end and finally gets his or her
hands on it, they will behave with so much eagerness, and they will tread carefully, ensuring that
they do everything that the employer requires of them so that they don't lose out on it ever again.
Similarly, a person who has been waiting for marriage for a very long time, and finally that person
arrives, they will be taking care of that relationship, fearing that it may disappear from them,
they appreciate it, they want what is best. This is how we treat your brothers and sisters, human
beings, how then about Allah subhanho wa Taala, who is the king, the Most Merciful, the Supreme, he
		

			is the one of the highest of our attempts and our aspirations to please and to earn the highest
grades in gender. Let us take a look at these characteristics. Open up with me your copy of the code
and go to chapter 25 of the Quran surah Furqan and go to verse 63. We will be looking at the verses
from that point till 76 where Allah Almighty gives us a description of who the true servants of
Allah Almighty raha Nana. But this episode, this is a disclaimer is only for those Muslims who have
high aspirations huge ambitions, and they don't want to be average Muslims here in this world.
		

			Characteristic number one and look at the verse 63. What do we know about the true servants of Iran
as described by Allah? We know how they walk Allahu Akbar. Allah Almighty said, Ye bagdogra many
lady named Shona Allah RB Helena and the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who when they
walk on the earth, they walk with ease, what does it mean that they walk with ease? Many of the
scholars of Tafseer they have said it means they walk with humility, they walk with tada humbleness
with Sakina, with tranquility with Waqar with dignity, Allahu Akbar. In other words, they're not
arrogant. They're not rash, and indeed, so much research nowadays is suggesting that so much can be
		

			said about a person's personality simply by the way he or she walks Allahu Akbar, whether this
person is pretentious or whether this person is arrogant, whether this person is humbled whether
this person is scared he or she is afraid of harm. The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has
told us about a man who used to work with arrogance and how Allah Almighty treated him. He said
Minamata Joon Young chiefy hola teen, whilst a particular man of the past was walking wearing an
expensive garment
		

			to ijebu natsuko he's impressed by himself. Maura Giroux, having combed his hair to the best of his
ability. yakhdan goofy machete walking with arrogance, it cost of Allah who became out when Allah
caused the earth to open up suddenly and swallow him for Hawaii at the Georgia loopy Eli Yeoman calm
and the sea is falling within it. Like what? till the Day of Judgment, walking with arrogance, the
prophets I send him said about him. So this is the very first characteristics of the true servants
of Allah Almighty. You can tell who they are from the way they work. People have humility, and
people have composure and people who believe that they are servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala
		

			What else do we know about the true servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			Look at the second half of the verse that we just read. Allah Almighty said we're either Cordoba
homogeny Luna Carlos Anima. They are those people who when they are addressed by the ignorant, they
respond by singing Salama, they respond by saying peace or another interpretation. They respond by
singing words of peace.
		

			In other words, they are not people who meet insults with insults, and ignorance and ignorance. They
don't fall to the lows of people but rather they raise themselves and try to raise others to the
heights of Islam and the mannerisms of
		

			deem
		

			when they are addressed by the ignorance of Allah Almighty said they respond with words of peace
		

			and that is a very tough station to reach admittedly dear brothers and sisters, but it is what what
Allah Almighty wants from us if we are people who want the highest grades engender
		

			a Buddha the companion was once insulted heavily by a pastor by for one reason or another. A Buddha
he said to him, you're asking Allah to reconnect, Sabina
		

			What does he know via the inner land okay feet woman asked Allah Hafiz be axotomy and nuclear Allah
Javi.
		

			He says my brother Don't go overboard in insulting me
		

			and leave some space between us for reconciliation. Because the way I behave with those who dis obey
Allah with respect to me, is that I try to obey Allah with respect to them, along with
		

			the students of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam La ilaha illAllah A man came to me
Who shall be the famous second generation typing I Muslim, and he insulted him. So a shabby. And you
expect this from a scholar of Hadith who had been inhaling from the pure errors of the sooner How
did he respond? He said, in come to Canada occulta forgot for Allah holy war in Lem akun chemical
saga for Allah who like he said, my brother, if I am as what you just said,
		

			then May Allah Almighty Forgive me. But if I am not as what you just said, then May Allah Almighty
forgive you. Simple as that.
		

			Allahu Akbar. So this is another quality of the true servants of Rama, they have so much on their
mind. They simply haven't got time for this type of bickering, and to meet insult with insult and
ignorance with ignorance, they see life as a marketplace.
		

			And the closing time is nearing, and the money that they have to buy what they need, is so little.
So they enter that marketplace. They try to buy what they can, and then they leave and they are not
taken by distractions. And at the end of that marketplace, when it closes, people walk out, having
prospered and other will walk out having made a loss, and that is the life of this world. And these
are the true servants of Iraq man. What either kotoba who will Jackie Luna call Luciana when the
ignorant people address them, they respond with words of peace.
		

			What else do we know about the true servants of Allah Almighty Abraham? And I'm sure you are
following with me using your copy of the Quran. Allah Almighty is now about to describe to us their
evenings. Yeah. So everything you have just heard a few moments ago that was in description of their
daylight hours, how they walk and how they respond to people who insult them. We even have
descriptions of how they behave at night. May Allah Almighty makers from the true servants of him.
		

			Allah Almighty says the verses continue, will Lavina be a tune Anurag be him Suja desu Aki.
		

			They are those who spend their nights bowing and prostrating to Allah, prostrating and bowing to
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allahu Akbar. So even when the covers of night Come in, and people retreat
to their beds, they have a different behavior, other things are on their mind. This is my
opportunity to be alone with my Lord subhanho wa Taala Allahu Akbar.
		

			These were the very first words that people heard the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say when
he came into the city of Medina if you wish you can say this was his constitution. What did he say?
He said, Yeah, are you a nurse? Oh people calling out on everyone. Oh people. Official Salama spread
peace. We're up
		

			and serve food distribute food was celular ham and uphold your family ties was suddenly law he
believed he won national neom and pray to Allah Almighty at night when people are asleep. That hudl
agenda be salon and you will enter gender in peace? La ilaha illa Allah will you dear brother, do
you sister establish a strong relationship from with Allah Almighty from this episode onwards. With
respect to the night prayer.
		

			You may say brother Isley How much do I need to be praying in order to be one of these people whom
Allah describes I say to you, not much, Abdullah he does he would say masala Raka teeny, mean daddy
Salatin, Asia if aka Dr. de la he said you didn't walk out EMA whoever prays to units of prayer
after the actual prayer. Then he has spent his night prostrating and bowing to Allah as was
described in the area. Allahu Akbar. Let us pray.
		

			seat. What else do we know about the true servants of Allah subhanaw taala man, let us look into the
verses Allah Almighty said
		

			one Latina una donna serif
		

			in Baja Kana haoran. They are those who say in their Doha, Oh our Lord, push away from us avert from
us the punishment of *.
		

			Indeed, it's punishment is a permanent one. Indeed, it is an evil place with respect to residence,
and settlement, Allahu Akbar. So in other words, the people of
		

			true service to Allah Almighty, they fear the prospect of the hellfire. They don't feel for one
moment that they are above the prospect of being thrown into oblivion on the Day of Judgment, Allahu
Akbar. So despite their humble walk, and despite not responding with insults to insults, and despite
being people who pray at night, they are afraid of being thrown into the Hellfire as well. Allahu
Akbar, this is the nature of the true servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala they're scared and that is
why Abdullah Abu Sheikh here, he said, I came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam once while
while you're suddenly as he was praying, what do you do fee as easy as easy middle gel, and I could
		

			hear sounds coming out from his chest like the sounds of a boiling kettle. Meanwhile, Boca he said
because of intense weeping alone, because of intense weeping. So the true servants of Allah Almighty
combined between great action and perpetual repentance and fear of a bad consequence in the
hellfire.
		

			Let us pause here to your brothers and sisters. With a short break, please stay with us.
		

			hamdu lillahi wa salatu salam ala nabina Muhammad Ali wasafi Welcome to your brothers and sisters.
It's great to have you back with us.
		

			What else does Allah Almighty say from soldato photocurrent chapter 25 as he describes to us the
characteristics of his true servants, let us continue from those verses that you are reading from.
		

			Allah Almighty is now going to describe to us their spending habits, their finances, he said
subhanho wa Taala one levena either Saku Liam userinfo Lamia, Kotaku, Waka anabaena Danica
Kawashima.
		

			They are those who when they spend.
		

			They don't spend excessively
		

			nor do they spend stingily but rather they take a middle course between the two Allahu Akbar. So the
people who are the true servants of Allah subhanaw taala fear him not just in terms of how they
speak. They're conscious of him not just in how they walk. They're conscious of him not just in what
time and how much they pray at night. They also think about their finances. A true Muslim realizes
that Islam has a say not just in how you worship Allah Almighty and how you fast and recite what an
Islam has a say also in how you buy and sell how you invest how you calculate your deca What does it
mean here, however, to not spend excessively and to not spend stingily? Do we have a description?
		

			Well, yeah, he didn't know Jabbar he would say,
		

			low and facta mithila Abbey Kobe's in the hada fi ba Tila he lahmacun cerifera a while oh and fuck
dasan fi masliah. Tina, he kind of said if he said if you were to spend a mountains worth of gold,
in the obedience of Allah, that would not be excessive.
		

			However, if you were to spend a handful, just a handful in that which is sinful, in addition,
obedience to Allah Almighty, that would be excessive.
		

			So how do we measure what is excessive and what is stinginess? What you are doing with your money
with respect to ally when you are preparing for your hereafter, you cannot spend excessively.
		

			However, something as small as a pound or 50 p in something that is haram. This is excessive in the
eyes of Allah subhanho wa Taala and therefore the true servant of Allah Almighty is quick to
calculate his or hers account. They're quick to see what they owe Allah Almighty, they're quick to
see the interest the Riba that may be part of their businesses or the money that they're making
through intoxicants or drugs or its likes, and they're quickly too and they are quick to remove all
of this from their money, wanting to be wanting to be the true sevens of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		

			Brothers and sisters, what else do we know about the true servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala
continue following with me please using your copy of the Quran. We know that they are the furthest
of all people with respect to sin, the major and the minor and
		

			When they do commit a sin they repent to Allah Almighty. Thus they are the true servants of Allah
Almighty said in the verses in front of you, when Levine Allah I do own ama Allah, Allah.
		

			Allah yaku tolonen f Salah t hot Roman law who will have to Allah is known
		

			for
		

			you blah, blah Hola, boo malkia nativa Hulu de mohana they are those who do not associate a partner
with Allah subhanho wa Taala. Nor do they kill unjustly, nor do they fornication and whoever does
this shall meet a penalty. The punishment will be doubled for them on the day of judgment and they
will stay in the Hellfire forever Allah Almighty said La ilaha illa Allah. In short, they are people
who are so far away from the major and minor sins, and when they do it, they will follow it up with
repentance. The messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was once asked, Are you then be Adam what sin
is worst he said and Tatiana Linda hinted that wahala called for you to put a partner with Allah
		

			Almighty despite him having created you. They said to him What next? He said and up to La Jolla
Takahashi Anjana Mac for you to kill your child fearing that he's going to eat with you fearing
poverty. They said to him What next? He said to them, and to zania Holly letta jarick and to zania
Holly letta Derek for you to fornicate with the wife of your neighbor. Then Allah Almighty revealed
the verse that you just heard, because it speaks about since in that ordering. You may say to
yourself brother Ali, what if I have done any of these things? What if I was once a non Muslim? What
if I had once killed What if I had fornicated at some point in my life or any other major thing I
		

			say to you read the second part of the area. Allah Almighty said enamel

			MA Hua funaab Rahim. Allah says except those who repent and believe in Allah, and they follow up the
sins with a good deed, then Allah Almighty will to replace their sins with good deeds, Allah
Almighty will replace their sins. Notice not Allah will forgive them, he will replace their sins
with good deeds. What does it mean? Is this a physical transformation of sins into good deeds? Many
of the scholars have argued this Allahu Akbar. And they have quoted a hadith where the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us that a man will be brought before Allah Almighty on the Day of
Judgment. And He will say to the angels, show him his minor sins, but cover from him the major ones,
		

			so they will show him his minor sins, and Allah will begin to hold him accountable. You did this and
that and you did this and that and he will say, My Lord, I know my Lord, I know
		

			that then Allah will say to him, the good news is that I have replaced all of those sins with good
deeds. And so the man will say, Oh Allah, I have other major sins, where are they? There are other
major sins because he's happy he wants them to now become uncovered so that they will be replaced
into good deeds. My Lord, what are my major sins? So the prophets that I sell him laughed when he
said this till his molar teeth they showed Allahu Akbar. This is another characteristic from the
true servants of Allah subhanho wa Taala. They stay away from major and minor sins, and when they do
commit them, they are the quickest to repent.

don't witness a zoo falsehood. And when they pass by, they pass by with dignity, Allahu Akbar, they
they have lofty aspirations and little time on their hands. So whenever they come across something
that is false or time wasting or gossip, whether it's on TV, whether it's on social media, or a
gathering or a snap or a post, the past by with dignity, Allahu Akbar, they continue walking. They
don't even give it a second glance or a second. Look, what else do we know about the true servants
		

			of urashima? Allah subhanho wa Taala tells us in the verses that you are reading, that they are
people who are affected by the Quran, this is another characteristic of them. They are moved into
tears They tremble when they recite the Quran Allah Almighty said when Latina is a rookie Ruby to be
him, Lamia ro la
		

			Mia.
		

			They are those who when they are reminded of the verses of Allah subhanho wa Taala. They don't fall
upon them deaf and blind. In other words, the Quran moves them. It affects them. They don't have it
like a song. They don't just recite it as if they are reading from a magazine or a newspaper. It
moves them
		

			That is why Allah Almighty said about such people in another verse from Surah two and fan in me no
Nana Xena either Sukira la hora de la Polo boom.
		

			What is that Juliet Eileen him to Who's that whom he

brother, your sister?

dua for themselves and for their project needs to be people who have righteousness, not just who
succeed in terms of finances and study. But people who are most importantly, successful islamically
		

			they make that it bothers them and it keeps them up at night. And not just that they are making it
for themselves to be leaders in piety. They want a vision in life. They want a project to live for
here in this in this world to present Allah in the hereafter because they know that when man passes
away, all of his good deeds will come to a halt, and nothing will remain except what knowledge that
you had taught a charity that people are still benefiting from, or a righteous child whom you had
left behind who is making do out for you, Allahu Akbar. This is another thing we know about the true
service of our men.
		

			In conclusion, what else do we know about the true servants of Atlanta we know about their eventual

they will see the people over the high mansions above them the same way that one of you looks and he
sees the stars the distant star in the horizon from the east and west because of how different the

same way you and I we look at we look at stars. So the companions they said O Messenger of Allah to
