			Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to a discussion on the 99 Names of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. We have with us Mr. Ahmed a guest I don't know, we're both kind of
		
00:00:13 --> 00:01:03
			shoukry and this has been our fun. Yes. And we are talking about a shekou the name of Allah as a
beautiful name Eliza denisha. Cool. And also a Shakir. So these two both appear, or are both
considered names of a lion. So yeah. And so one of the most, okay? So Shaku is the appreciative,
okay? A lot of it is appreciated, the Lord of the heavens and earth is appreciative. He rewards for
small deeds. First of all, He rewards us for our acts of worship in the first place. And every just
the notion that we have reward is and of itself from his benevolence, right? Like he doesn't need to
reward us at all. But Allah is getting rewards us for his benevolence. I'm just thinking right now
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			of
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:11
			an article that was on online I saw this morning, which is of a slave who
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:31
			is a Master Master. And his master actually requested him back this, this slave fled and became
free. In Ohio. I don't know he was from the south, obviously. And his master wanted him back. And he
said, you know, the plantation is basically going down without you. And so the slave actually wrote
this really, really like witty,
		
00:01:33 --> 00:02:10
			gazing, like response to him, but it was very sarcastic. And he was just saying, you know, we're
doing great. And I'm making $25 a month now, and my wife is making $2 a week now. And I'm not really
sure going back to you where I was working for free is really the best business decision. But the
thing that I loved about the letter is I look, I understand that if you're really talking about
being just then you would, you know, pay us for, you know, pay us back for all of our free labor.
Yeah, so we are, you know, I've been working for you for 30 years, and so at $25 a month, and he
added up to being $11,000. And he was like if you know, you want to start on the right foot, and
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:52
			let's let's work with that. And, you know, I was just reminded this because the slave wound is not
paying his slave. Yeah, he's not getting any reward for any sort of actions that we do a lot as good
even though he owns us a true ownership a lot as a gift from his benevolence, everything that you do
the smallest thing that you do a lot, a zillion rewards you for it, the sins that you do a lot as
yet counts them for it with the option to be forgiven at any moment in time. And not only that, he
made it so that every good deed is 10 times at the very minimum 10 times rewarded, and every cent
you only get once. And so of the the companions, I believe it was to live in this realty says such
		
00:02:52 --> 00:03:25
			good news for the person whose good deeds are 10 times more than their sense, or like how big of a
loser is the one who their singular actions are greater than their actions that are multiplied? like
imagine your actions or your good deeds are multiplied. And your sins are singular. Yeah. And so he
said, like how big of a loser is the one who singular ones are still more than their good deeds?
It's like you can only go to the alpha if you actually try to go that's really the only way that if
you don't try it for paradise at all. That's the only way that you can enter Paradise But anyway,
you can't interpret.
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:32
			Yeah, but that person also Allah if they just ask for forgiveness, they will be forgiven, right? If
they just repent to Allah.
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:49
			Allah is Shaku Eliza good. Appreciate that appreciates the smallest things that you do and allows
you multiplies generously, and generously and generously. There's a man as a Muslim that the
prophets that I sent him said, I saw him like tumbling and
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:34
			tumbling backflips. Sure why not? doing backflips, front flips, somersaulting all of that? And what
caused him what was this great deed that he did that made him enter into paradise? He simply saw a
an obstacle believe it was a tree that was in the way of the Muslims. And he removed it. It was it
was an obstacle or something that was like causing people nuisance or what have you, blocking
people's weight, and he removed it. That's it. Now none of us if we did anything like that, you
might have done that already in your life multiple times. I anyone might have done that. And when
people are asking you to count your good deeds, like you know, who are you and what have you done
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:59
			for Islam, what you've done for the Muslims or something like that, you're not going to count the
time that you move the dumpster from the front of the message, right? You're not gonna count the
time where you, you know, there was something in the way and you just moved it. That's not even
something that you might even think about a lot as it is so appreciated that he entered this
person's agenda because of that a woman gave, she was a prostitute. She gave water to a doc laws. We
did appreciate that. Enter into paradise. There's a beautiful verse.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:20
			I just want to conclude this part of the discussion with and that was, it really hit me like a truck
and I remember it very vividly I was in thought it was the end of the fifth juice sort of and Missa
and in that sort of I remember listening to the man recite and the man was in he's reciting verses
that are very severe.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:54
			Kula Manali, the Judo mother. Now Judah, Laila, Allah says every time their skin is roasted, we
replaced them with new skin, the local adapts at the taste the punishment and so it's very vivid
descriptions of the Hellfire in that chapter. And then you know, in the moon after cleaning, less
fragment, and not a lot as it just says that the hypocrites are in the lowest basin of the Hellfire
than the lowest part of the hellfire. And my mind was just going in that direction, like this is
terrifying, scary, all of that. And then the Imam recite last verse of that just
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:03
			and the verse is, may have a logo that you can check out to Miami to what does it benefit a lot to
punish you.
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:05
			If you are simply
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			thankful
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:16
			and believed? What kind of love check in an idea and allows to give himself his appreciative and all
knowing?
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:21
			Like, what do you think I'm getting out of this? Like, what do what do I get out of punishing
mankind?
		
00:06:23 --> 00:07:07
			If you simply were grateful, and believed, and I myself, how can you not be grateful? How can you be
so ungrateful? What Allah has given himself what kind of love check in on it a lot as he did himself
is grateful, appreciative, idema and knowledgeable, a lot as origin. Because there's two aspects,
you can have a person who's super appreciative and super coolest. Like they're very grateful, but
you always have to, like, spell things out for them. They don't notice when you, you know, you, you
fix something you they don't notice when you, you know, I mean, like a wife, she did herself off her
husband, he completely has no idea. She doesn't notice that she, she changed her haircut, I don't
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:45
			know, whatever, like you, kids with their parents, their parents don't even notice what they did
that they clean their room or did it so you can have a person who's appreciative. But they are
clueless, they don't know. And then you can have somebody who notices everything. But they're not
appreciated. The person who scans room and they see everything, they know what you did. They just
don't want to say thank you. They don't appreciate it. And a lot looking for a nitpick to see what
you did wrong. Yeah, so people look for, they will notice everything that you did, you'll never get
a thank you. But the moment you do something wrong, they're all on you. Right. But a lot of it says
		
00:07:45 --> 00:08:24
			about himself not what kind of love shakin and I do a lot as a kid notices the quiet such laws are
just sees that tear that falls a lot as a kid knows that that dollar that you gave in that moment
was the absolute best that you had. And that's why that dollar is worth more to him than $100,000
that was donated, you know, easily or without thought. This is how much a lot as you can appreciate
and a lot as good as all knowing. And so, Allah has given me a show called should invoke in US
gratitude, thankfulness, if Allah has given us a shortcode and Allah appreciates the actions of this
person can't I appreciate their actions? Whoever doesn't thank the people does not think a lot Can I
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:31
			be someone who's more appreciative to people that I say to them, thank you for the action that he
did, he didn't really have to do that, recognizing that they've offered something.
		
00:08:32 --> 00:08:37
			Right and hoping that a lot as he accepts from us and accepts from from them as well. So this is
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:53
			the appreciation that a person who knows that their Lord is appreciated. You know, he said at the
beginning of this series, there's a small chance that I might not have said this and I just simply
think that I said it but there's a beautiful statement the Hulk will be a fanatic law
		
00:08:54 --> 00:09:05
			adorn yourself with the characteristics of God you know, that's something that we want to walk out
with of the series which which is that's another good title. Like one could derive a title out of
that. Yeah.
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:28
			I just the concept is great. adorn yourself with the characters, you're not going to be able to do
with all of his characteristics. And in fact, some of the characteristics that Allah has, you cannot
have it's actually helpful for you to have like a PDF, but in general, something like a sugar or
something like a Rahim. Obviously, these are all aspects that we should and that's what I want to
share with
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			some of my listeners,
