00:03:59 --> 00:04:01
			This is session 50
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:04
			and the name
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:07
			is a summit
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:12
			which is named number 71 in our series,
		
00:04:13 --> 00:04:14
			the self sufficient
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			the eternal refuge
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23
			in terms of Quranic location
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			the Divine Name a summit is mentioned only once in the Quran.
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35
			For who Allah who I had a lot of summit
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:40
			sorry I've lost verses one and two.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:51
			In terms of its meaning linguistically the Divine Name of Samad comes from the trilateral route sod,
meme dal
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:56
			and has some done as it's verbal now.
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			It has four main meanings the first meaning is
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:04
			To reach or attain or aim at something.
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:10
			The second meaning is to turn to and to need.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:19
			The third meaning is to remain unchanged, that unaffected. The fourth meaning is to be everlasting
and eternal.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:05:23
			The Arabic dictionary this,
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:28
			as the master, was always obeyed.
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:35
			This is being used for human beings, without whom nothing is done
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:42
			is also the one to whom people turn to for the fulfillment of their needs.
		
00:05:43 --> 00:05:48
			However, relative to Allah, Assad is the unchangeable one.
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:52
			Boom the entire creation depends upon
		
00:05:53 --> 00:06:03
			is the one on affected by any circumstance, and the only one able to fulfill all of the creations
needs in the most perfect way,
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:09
			without himself being in need of anything, or anyone.
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:38
			As a note, even taymiyah argued, that although grammarians in their explanations use the definite
form of Samad as Samad to refer to humans as the ancient Arabs did in their prose and poetry. The
definite term as Samad should only be used for a law as a lot did not say Allahu samidoun
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:46
			as he did in the case of Ahad where he said a lot who I had done
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:51
			using the definite form. Instead,
		
00:06:52 --> 00:07:08
			he used the definite article the in the US subud, the La flamme, which in his view indicated that
the definite form should only be used for Allah alone,
		
00:07:09 --> 00:07:33
			as only a law deserved to be described with perfection of his attribute of some idea, the ultimate
and eternal refuge from all perspectives. Even though the creatures may be sources of refuge from
some aspects, they can provide refuge in all aspects.
		
00:07:34 --> 00:07:50
			Furthermore, the creatures are divisible into parts, while Allah is not. They have needs like a
while a law does not and everything besides a law and has need for him.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:55
			While he has no need for them,
		
00:07:57 --> 00:08:07
			everything does not rise up to anyone over laws, creatures, and a law doesn't rise up anything in
creation.
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:13
			nor is he befitting or nor is it befitting, for him to do so.
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:27
			Also, all of creation is made up of parts, which may be separated and disconnected, while allies a
summit for whom none of this is possible.
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:42
			In terms of application, according to open bottles, four principles, the first of which is to adopt
where applicable, the demand name Assad may be adopted and applied in two basic ways.
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:54
			The first is to be a source of help and support for our fellow Muslims, wherever they may be. And
the second is to understand the laws, somebody
		
00:08:56 --> 00:09:08
			The state of being the ultimate refuge, in order to strive to turn only to Allah for the fulfillment
of our needs.
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:16
			So the first being a source of refuge.
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:32
			We are imitating a lot on our level. Everywhere we turn in the world today there are refugees
suffering, whether in Myanmar, Burma, from genocide,
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:51
			in Syria, it lived from bombing by Baca aceds troops, and the Russians in Jordan, Syrians fleeing
from Syria, as well as Palestinians fleeing from occupied Palestine.
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:59
			In Ethiopia from war, South Sudan also for more the Dr.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:02
			See from volcanic eruption
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:12
			in jails in Libya trying to cross the Mediterranean in Mexico trying to get to the US, etc.
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:19
			The country which has taken in the most refugees globally, is Turkey.
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			There are almost 4 million refugees currently living in Turkey.
		
00:10:25 --> 00:10:39
			Turkey posts some 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees, along with close to 320,000 persons of
concern from other nationalities.
		
00:10:41 --> 00:10:49
			Over 13 million Syrians received aid from the Turkish aid agency AF ad.
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:51
			Fried
		
00:10:52 --> 00:11:30
			Turkey has spent more than any other country on Syrian refugee aid. In terms of the top countries
hosting where refugees, Turkey was followed by Pakistan, with 1.5 million of Danny's Lebanon 1.1
million Palestinians, the Islamic Republic of Iran with 982,000 Afghan refugees and immigrants who
fled the Soviet Afghan war. It's ensuing Civil War and the war
		
00:11:31 --> 00:11:33
			from the US in Afghanistan.
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:40
			There are 659,500
		
00:11:42 --> 00:11:43
			and
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:47
			most of the refugees are from
		
00:11:50 --> 00:11:51
			starvation
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:55
			war in South Sudan
		
00:11:56 --> 00:11:59
			as well as the Eritrean war.
		
00:12:03 --> 00:12:03
			And
		
00:12:04 --> 00:12:07
			following them is Jordan
		
00:12:08 --> 00:12:12
			was 654,000 Syrians
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:18
			in Bangladesh with 880,000 Rohingya refugees.
		
00:12:20 --> 00:12:44
			as Muslims, we are obliged to help these refugees, especially considering that the majority of them
are Muslims. Following the spirit of law joshy in Ethiopia, who took in the first Hydra of Muslim
refugees fleeing from persecution and death in Makkah,
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:53
			fled to Ethiopia, and were taken in by the ruler that joshy later converted to Islam,
		
00:12:55 --> 00:12:57
			and the answer in Almudena.
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:00
			1400 years ago,
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:12
			they welcomed the second wave of refugees from Makkah and took them in as brothers and sisters in
Islam.
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:27
			The prophet SAW Selim continuously called on his followers and the oma to come to the aid of those
in need of help, saying time and time again in a variety of different ways, help others whenever you
can.
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:45
			For example, He connected providing support to weaker members of society, with protecting society as
a whole. It was reported to have said I'll movement little movement Calvin Yan yes do ba boo Ba Ba,
		
00:13:46 --> 00:13:48
			Ma shabaka buy in as a bear.
		
00:13:50 --> 00:14:01
			The believers are like one structure, each part supporting the others. Then he put his fingers
between each other, showing that support.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:45
			The Muslim community is like a single building, which will crumble if any weakness in its structure
is not fixed. Therefore helping the needy is ultimately helping ourselves as a community of
believers. In fact, given the Muslims faith in God is in question if he or she does not strive to
help their unfortunate brothers and sisters. The problem is not solved and restated the golden rule
of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you in terms of faith and brothel, brotherhood,
saying, like man who I had who had died, he, my your head bull enough, see,
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:59
			none of you has truly believed until he loves for his brother, what he loves for himself, just as we
would expect help. When we are in need, we have to be ready to help
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:10
			Currently in need, none of us are guaranteed a comfortable future where all our needs are met the
way they are today.
		
00:15:12 --> 00:15:20
			How many of the Muslim refugees were relatively comfortable prior to the disasters which happened in
their lives, and the country's
		
00:15:22 --> 00:15:34
			giving in charity, all of them many prophetic instructions, which enjoying charity come under the
general heading of providing help and support to others.
		
00:15:37 --> 00:15:38
			This is
		
00:15:40 --> 00:15:43
			the effort to implement as some idea
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:46
			on our one scale.
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			Being charitable, is the most essential moral characteristic of Islam.
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:56
			Which is why so
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:10
			often called obligatory charity, which is a contradiction in terms was instituted in the life of
every Muslim able to share with others. The promises Salam quoted Allah saying,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:32
			you have naadam on photonic spend in charity, of son of Adam and I will spend on you. This is a
direct promise, and a guaranteed offer of finance, financial support for those who spend charitably,
in the cause of others.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:35
			I remember a well known die.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:38
			In Indonesia,
		
00:16:39 --> 00:16:51
			we push people to donate charitably by telling them that if they wanted a new house, or a new car,
they should spend all of their current savings
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:54
			in charity.
		
00:16:56 --> 00:16:58
			And the law would replace them
		
00:16:59 --> 00:17:04
			with abundance in which their current wishes would be fulfilled.
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			And even a book even published a book
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:13
			in which he gathered
		
00:17:15 --> 00:17:17
			people who did exactly that.
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:25
			And Allah bless them with fortunes they're never expected or never thought was possible.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:37
			He may have gone too far, however, as there are also many who gave all their wealth and didn't
receive their wishes.
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:52
			Giving has to be in moderation, so as not to put one's own family into distress. And we looked at so
many statements of the process and unwary forbade people from going overboard in giving.
		
00:17:54 --> 00:18:00
			But the basic concept of sacrificing for the sake of Allah is a fundamental part of his
		
00:18:01 --> 00:18:08
			wish should believe that it is the right of the needy popcorn Lisa 11 mushroom
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:16
			that we are fulfilling and not a favor were giving or doing for the poor.
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:29
			As a lie that ready and titled it that way. Talk regarding the obligatory is a cat and sadaqa is
only the voluntary version.
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:54
			The prophet SAW Selim also encouraged helping the needy from the perspective of relieving them of
distress and distress is something we all face in our lives. distress can easily lead to depression
and depression is the leading cause of suicide. So distress is easily understood.
		
00:18:56 --> 00:19:18
			And it is something we all wish to avoid in life. Consequently, the Messenger of Allah said to us
manifesta million. korma min Cora bit dunya nafas Allahu anhu, cornerback 10 min Cora Miyamoto
kiama.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:30
			Whoever relieves a Muslim of some worldly distress, Allah will relieve him or of some of the
stresses of the Day of Resurrection.
		
00:19:31 --> 00:19:37
			When one sees the news and the dire situations of our Muslim brothers and sisters,
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:45
			and what they're facing in the millions, we must do more than just cry, the distress that they're
facing,
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:59
			we must come to their aid Subhana Allah, Allah made the reward for relieving the stress for anyone
in this life so great, by linking it to help from Allah for us on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:06
			And that is the time when we will need relief from stress and distress the most.
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:27
			Therefore, here are now we need to take every opportunity which comes our way to help those around
us without expecting or needing funds from them as the law said, in the monitor mo pumila wodgina
lamudi remain calm Jessa and while ashapura
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:35
			saying, we're feeding you for the sake of Allah alone, those who are
		
00:20:36 --> 00:20:42
			giving generously, we seek me the recompense nor thanks from you.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:54
			We do so with the assurance of a law, that our acts of relieving others of distress in this life
will surely benefit us in the next
		
00:20:55 --> 00:21:13
			in our hearts. We should thank those who help buoy Hill for giving us the opportunity to help them
as we will need all the help we can get on the Day of Judgment. The promises solemn further stress
relieving the burdens of others saying
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:48
			woman yes sir and I'm why sit in? Yes, sir, a long way he could dunya without Hara. Whoever eases
the burden of a destitute person. Allah will ease his burdens in this world. And the next. This
encouraging statement, the process I love added a bonus from a law, a promise on behalf of a law
that is easing of our burdens will not only be beneficial for us in the next slide, but it will also
be beneficial in this life. So Panama.
		
00:21:49 --> 00:22:03
			So if we want some ease in this life, whenever we find ourselves in stress and difficulty, we should
go out of our comfort zone and look for someone whose burden we can remove, or else
		
00:22:05 --> 00:22:08
			we can remove or ease here and now.
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:25
			The problem is that I seldom further emphasize this reality of a loss help coming to those who help
others by defining it as a constant in this life. He assured us our laws, regular help,
		
00:22:26 --> 00:22:30
			as long as others find help from us regularly.
		
00:22:31 --> 00:22:44
			Be happy reassured, as with the good news from a summit, the ultimate source of refuge saying while
Allahu fionn in Abdi, my Candela, Abu fi only
		
00:22:45 --> 00:22:51
			Allah will any servant Okay, so long as the servant aides his brother.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			If we help others, and they are not appreciative,
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:14
			and they don't help us when the tables are turned, we should not lose hope and lose faith in
humankind. Instead, we should take comfort in the promise of a summit that is help is just around
the corner.
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:25
			In fact, even the Muslims faith in God comes into question if he or she does not strive to help
their unfortunate brothers and sisters.
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:47
			Promise Arsalan restated the golden rule of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you in
terms of faith and brotherhood as follows diamino I had to come head to head belly, or Hey, my head
bull NFC, none of us truly believed until he laughs for his brother, what he loves for himself.
		
00:23:48 --> 00:24:00
			As we all would love to find help and support in our times of distress, we should be a source of
help and support for many fellow Muslims in distress today around the world.
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:25
			With such a background, being a help being friendly to fellow Muslims, and to people in distress in
general, is quite obviously, a high level of moral character, which almost then should strive for
Alhamdulillah Muslims are globally known for being the most generous nation in this world.
		
00:24:26 --> 00:24:35
			The second way of implementing a some idea is to understand the implications of a summit
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:37
			and apply them
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:48
			now summit, say he allies uniquely one, Allah is the eternal refuge.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:59
			In this verse, Allah elaborates on his uniqueness, his idea, mentioned in the first verse here
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:02
			uses Samad
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:10
			which generally means that Elia is perfect in all of his attributes, and that all creation is in
need of him.
		
00:25:11 --> 00:25:49
			Even Abbas was reported to have said that as Samad meant, he is the master as say it was perfect and
is serenity, the most noble, a Sharif, who is most perfect in his nobility. The most magnificent
allowed him was perfect in his magnificence the most for marrying al Halim, who is perfect and it's
for berets. And the all knowing Allah alim, who is perfect in his knowledge, the most wise al Hakim
was perfect in his wisdom
		
00:25:50 --> 00:25:58
			allows perfection implies that he is not in need of any of his creation in any way, as nothing they
can do.
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:14
			can better or benefit is already perfect state. The attribute of some idea of self sufficiency
invites the believers to reflect on the purpose and goals of their worship.
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			Today most people worship as if they're doing a law favor.
		
00:26:20 --> 00:26:28
			A law school did those Bedouins who consider their conversion a favor to Prophet Muhammad's Salaam
saying
		
00:26:29 --> 00:26:38
			Mr. Noon alayka and assalamu * Lata Manu aleja Islamism balilla who Yamanote a
		
00:26:40 --> 00:27:03
			lil Imani in Khun dawn saw the team, they regard their conversion to Islam as a favorite to you.
Tell them don't count your Islam as a favorite. Instead, it is a law who has granted a favor to you
by guiding you to true faith, if you are indeed choose
		
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06
			with certainty.
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:31
			The purpose of our creation is to worship a law as we have said previously, and repeatedly. That is
crystal clear in the final revelation. Our purpose was not left to be deduced or discovered, or was
stated in no uncertain terms in all of the previous books in Revelation. However, it is only the
Quran the final revelation
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:59
			that that purpose was preserved and spelled out in no uncertain terms. And consequently it does
remain clear for human guide over the many generations since its final revelation. Allah said Maha
Lupton, General INSA in the Abu only created the jinn and humankind, to worship me.
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:26
			In case those who heard or read this verse might think that Allah needs humans or the jinn to
worship Him. He went on to clarify that he has no need from them saying mowdy Dominion home, the
rest in one mouth only do I use the moon. I don't want any provision from them, nor do I wish them
to feed me.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30
			Human beings
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:32
			have nothing.
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:54
			The jinn have nothing that they can provide for a lot, as he has no need of anything at all. They
cannot even provide for themselves or other creatures, much less Allah. Allah is the provider as he
went on to say in the law, what was
		
00:28:55 --> 00:29:04
			the poor till Mateen Indeed, Allah is the all provider owner of power and the most firm
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:14
			with regard to worship based on animal sacrifices, like what is prescribed during hatch an ad
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:19
			and recommended at the time of a child's birth, the update
		
00:29:20 --> 00:29:31
			is also not based on any need, which Allah has for sacrifice. A lot clarified his lack of need
saying later now Allahu Allahu
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:34
			Allah Dima
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:38
			Bulacan Yana Allahu a taco I mean,
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:51
			neither their meat nor their blood of the sacrificial animals, which is a lot, but it is your piety,
your mindfulness of a law that reaches him.
		
00:29:53 --> 00:29:59
			That's the prescription of worship, as the purpose of creation is for a human need.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:33
			If it's not for laws need, a law doesn't need it, then it must be for human need. However, to
understand why human beings need to worship, one must first understand what is meant by the term
worship itself. In English, the term worship comes from an old English word, meaning honor.
Consequently, worship in English is defined as the performance of devotional acts in honor of a
diety, or deity.
		
00:30:35 --> 00:31:19
			In common uses usage, worship means calling on God for your wants and your needs. As such, most
people usually worship God only in times of need. However, in the language of the final revelation,
worship is called a bada. In Arabic, which is derived from the noun AB, meaning a slave. A slave is
one who is expected to do whatever he wishes, wills and commands. Consequently, worship according to
the final revelation means obedience submission, to the will of God.
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:27
			This was, and this is the essence of the message of all of the prophets sent by a lot to humankind.
		
00:31:29 --> 00:31:41
			For example, this understanding of worship was emphatically expressed in a statement attributed to
Prophet Jesus in the Gospel according to Matthew seven, verse 21.
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:55
			Jesus is supposed to have said, none of those who call Me Lord will enter the kingdom of God, but
only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.
		
00:31:57 --> 00:32:10
			The will of God was contained in the divinely revealed laws, which the prophets taught their
followers. Consequently, obedience to divine law is the foundation of worship.
		
00:32:12 --> 00:32:38
			In terms of the need for worship itself, why I didn't allow prescribed worship, he didn't need it.
We're saying that human beings needed so how do they lead? Why do human beings need to worship God?
by obeying the divinely revealed laws? Because obedience to the Divine Law is the key to success in
this life and the next?
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:47
			The first human beings Adam and Eve were created in Paradise, expelled from paradise for disobeying
the Divine Law.
		
00:32:48 --> 00:32:54
			The only way for human beings to return to Paradise is by obedience to the law.
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:08
			Jesus, the Messiah, was reported in the Gospel according to Matthew, to have made obedience to the
divine law, the key to paradise.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:10
			he supposedly said,
		
00:33:11 --> 00:33:19
			Now behold, one came and said to him, good teacher, or Matthew is narrating this.
		
00:33:21 --> 00:33:40
			Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that will, that I may have eternal life? So Jesus said to
him, Why do you call me good? No one is good, but one, that is God, clear distinction
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:48
			of himself from God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
		
00:33:49 --> 00:34:15
			In Matthew 519, Jesus was reported to have insisted on strict obedience to the commandments, saying,
whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so shall be called
least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven.
		
00:34:17 --> 00:34:34
			Divine laws represent guidance for humankind in all walks of life. It is the moral compass for human
communal life, defines right and wrong for them and offers human beings a complete system, governing
all of their affairs.
		
00:34:36 --> 00:34:44
			The Creator Lord knows best what is beneficial for his creation? And what is not, of course, we
think that we know
		
00:34:45 --> 00:34:45
			and
		
00:34:47 --> 00:34:59
			we cancel laws of God because we think we know better. But reality is that the divine laws command
and prohibit
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:20
			Various acts and substances to protect the human spirit, the human body and human society from are
in order for human beings to fulfill their purpose by living righteous lives. They need to worship
God through obedience to His command.
		
00:35:23 --> 00:35:46
			The remembrance of God. All of the various acts of worship contained in the divine laws are designed
to help human beings remember that it is natural for human beings to sometimes forget even the most
important things. Humans often become so engrossed in fulfilling their material needs, that they
totally forget their spiritual needs.
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:57
			regularly, and regular prayer is ordained to organize the day of the true believer around the
remembrance of God.
		
00:35:58 --> 00:36:03
			It interweaves spiritual needs with material needs on a daily basis.
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:14
			The regular daily need to eat, work and sleep is linked to the daily need to renew man's connection
with God.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:17
			With regard to regular prayer,
		
00:36:19 --> 00:36:23
			a lot of states in the final revelation
		
00:36:24 --> 00:36:25
			Surah Taha
		
00:36:27 --> 00:36:34
			in many and Allah hula Illa Allah Anna, far Buddhist nee we're optimist Salalah decree.
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:45
			Indeed, I'm a law. There is no god besides me. So worship Me and establish regular prayer for my
remembrance
		
00:36:46 --> 00:36:50
			for my remembrance to be mindful
		
00:36:51 --> 00:36:52
			of me.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:36:58
			Guiding fasting, Allah said, its main goal
		
00:36:59 --> 00:37:02
			is the same mindfulness.
		
00:37:03 --> 00:37:24
			Yeah, you already know amanu quotevalet Kumasi amo karma kuchibhotla de Dena Min cubberley con la la
quinta taco, or you will believe fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those
before you that you may become God conscious that you may be mindful of God.
		
00:37:26 --> 00:37:27
			Verse 183,
		
00:37:28 --> 00:37:54
			the believers are encouraged to remember a lot as much as possible. Although moderation in all
spheres of life, whether material or spiritual is generally encouraged in Divine Law. An exception
is made regarding mindfulness of Allah, it is virtually impossible to remember a lot too much.
Consequently, in the final Revelation, chapter,
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:09
			I encourage these believers to remember him as often as possible. Yeah Isla de nominal, Guru, Allah,
the Quran kathira. all believers remember a lot of
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:18
			remembrance of Allah is stressed, because sin is generally committed when Allah is forgotten.
		
00:38:20 --> 00:38:26
			The forces of evil operate most freely when human engine consciousness of God is vast.
		
00:38:27 --> 00:38:40
			Consequently, the satanic forces seek their utmost to occupy people's minds with irrelevant thoughts
and desires which are harmful in order to make them forget a lot.
		
00:38:41 --> 00:39:00
			Once God is forgotten, people willingly join hands with the most corrupt elements of society. The
final Revelation the Quran addresses this phenomenon directly, saying, it stopped whether I lay my
shade on for answer home the crown law.
		
00:39:01 --> 00:39:06
			Satan has gotten the better of them and cause them to forget Allah.
		
00:39:12 --> 00:39:21
			Allah through divine law has prohibited intoxicants and gambling primarily because they cause human
beings to forget Allah.
		
00:39:22 --> 00:39:59
			The human mind and body easily becomes addicted to drugs, games of chance, etc. Once addicted human
guides desire to continually be stimulated by them, leads them to all forms of corruption and
violence among themselves. Allah describes the hidden agenda behind the satanic plan precisely. In
them it is a shade on a UK avena Khun na da wallbottle da philharmonie What am I here? Where should

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02
			For how to monta
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:20
			Satan's plan is to hide enmity and hatred among you with intoxicants and gambling and hinder you
from the remembrance of Allah and regular prayer, Will you not then abstain through my diverse 91.
		
00:40:22 --> 00:40:30
			Consequently, human can the jinn need to remember a lot for their own salvation and spiritual
growth.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:41:08
			All humans have times of weakness in which they commit sins. If they have no means of remembering
God, they sink deeper and deeper into corruption with everything. However, those who follow the
divine laws will be constantly reminded of a law which will give them a chance to repent and correct
themselves. The final revelation accurately describes this process saying, well leadin Ada Filofax
schatten alemu, fussa, home lockerroom, law, style federal, legal obeah
		
00:41:09 --> 00:41:31
			those who, having done something shameful, or having wrong their own souls, remember a law and
immediately ask forgiveness for their sins. This is what Satan wasn't able to do. He couldn't accept
the sin and turn back to Allah seeking forgiveness.
		
00:41:33 --> 00:41:37
			That's worship. The purpose of our creation is not
		
00:41:38 --> 00:41:45
			but for our own benefit. It is the only way to baptize.
		
00:41:47 --> 00:41:54
			The second pillar of even a call for
		
00:41:55 --> 00:42:01
			application of the Divine Names is to confirm where they are unique and inapplicable.
		
00:42:04 --> 00:42:05
			Christians claim
		
00:42:06 --> 00:42:08
			that Jesus was God
		
00:42:10 --> 00:42:25
			such claims are totally rejected in the final revelation simply because he and his mother ate food
the true God as no need for food is as summit

was a virtuous woman both ate food like other mortals

00:43:00 --> 00:43:03
			okay for bye k for nobody you know lol.
		
00:43:04 --> 00:43:08
			So Mundo and now you can
		
00:43:10 --> 00:43:23
			see how clear I have made these signs for them. But see how diluted they are? It's very clear, very
obvious, a simple presentation.
		
00:43:25 --> 00:43:28
			God has no need for food.
		
00:43:29 --> 00:43:31
			Jesus ate food,
		
00:43:32 --> 00:43:41
			it couldn't have been God. Of course, they say he was a hole man. And he was also got at the same
time.
		
00:43:43 --> 00:43:47
			So, it was being man that ate food not got
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:55
			a lot. So his claim that their saints provide for the needs of creation.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:44:10
			Similarly, any belief in which any of our laws attributes are given to man totally destroys this
some idea aspect of a Sufi author by the name of at the
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:39
			we have mentioned on numerous occasions before I wrote, I saw a saint, a Wali reach a grade station,
wherein he witnessed all intelligent and unintelligent created beings, wild animals, insects, the
heavens and it stars the earth and the globe of the entire world, gained its sustenance from him.
		
00:44:44 --> 00:44:57
			He heard all of their songs and conversations in a single instance. And he gave each what they
needed and what was best suited for them without being distracted by one from the other.
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			Such a claim
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:07
			is giving some idea to a laws creation, a law protect us from such ignorance.
		
00:45:08 --> 00:45:15
			Another expression of shirking some idea can be seen in the Sufi title of
		
00:45:18 --> 00:45:20
			soccer, to deliver deliverance,
		
00:45:22 --> 00:45:25
			the ultimate source of help
		
00:45:26 --> 00:45:32
			they had of the Sufi hierarchy of saints in ascending order of merit
		
00:45:33 --> 00:45:34
			the pyramid
		
00:45:35 --> 00:45:38
			bottom level, which has 300
		
00:45:39 --> 00:45:43
			they're called the FBR. The Chosen Ones,
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:47
			following them, the next level has 40
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			substitutes
		
00:45:51 --> 00:46:24
			following them the abrar there are only seven bias following them for the old dad, the pegs,
following them are the nakaba the watchmen at the top is the portal, the pole was considered to
stand up his time and above him is the host or he is himself the both depending on which Sufi
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:27
			hierarchy one follows.
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:37
			So, this belief and they believe that this pyramid of saints
		
00:46:38 --> 00:46:44
			capable of taking on their shoulders, a portion of the sins of the believers
		
00:46:45 --> 00:46:49
			according to many most mistakes
		
00:46:52 --> 00:46:53
			according to them,
		
00:46:54 --> 00:46:57
			if the top three classes
		
00:47:01 --> 00:47:05
			among them, they're immediately replaced by those under them.
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:31
			When the old dies, the kutub replaces him. There is a moving up all through series, so that the
purest soul of each class rises up to the next level. The whole is commonly called upon for help and
refuge when people in dying are in dire need of the father of Gilani and title
		
00:47:32 --> 00:47:46
			in the subcontinent. Also the awesome the greatest source of refuge is prayed to with the DA of

00:47:48 --> 00:48:06
			En La La La e are in NY la hirato nobody died. People commonly think that if you make this blog from
the brand that means somebody died. No. It just means the calamity has taken place. And this is
surely a calamity
		
00:48:08 --> 00:48:24
			for the Shiites, palainian it is also Lal caffee relates the following saying attributed to the
fifth Imam Mohammed Al Bashir. In which Jabir asked him, Why is the Prophet and the Imam necessary?
		
00:48:26 --> 00:48:39
			He answered, so that the world may remain in righteousness. That's a lot withholds chastisement from
the world while a prophet or a mom is upon it, for Allah.
		
00:48:40 --> 00:49:13
			Allah will not chastise them while you are among them. Chapter Eight verse 33. The prophet SAW Selim
said the stars I safety for the people of heaven, and the members of my family, our safety for the
people of the earth. If the stars went, there would come to people of heaven, something hateful to
them. And if the members of my family went, they will come to the people of the earth, something
hateful to them.
		
00:49:15 --> 00:49:20
			And Allah is linked to obedience to them to obedience to Him.
		
00:49:23 --> 00:49:31
			Or believers obey Allah and the messenger. And those possessed of authority among them, among you.
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:48
			They are sinless, the pure ones will do no wrong and do not rebel. They are the ones who give help
and success and right guidance. They give help and success and right guidance
		
00:49:52 --> 00:49:56
			through them a lot giving sustenance
		
00:49:58 --> 00:49:59
			to his servants and it's
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:10
			through them, his lands proper prosper and the rain falls from heaven and the earth gives out its
blessings
		
00:50:16 --> 00:50:16
			is Allah
		
00:50:18 --> 00:50:28
			not the amounts or the profits thus, like the Sophie's the Shiites have given some idea to their so
called infallible him out.
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:42
			But claims have to be rejected totally. And absolutely, in order to maintain the uniqueness of our
laws Divine Name, as summit.
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:46
			The third
		
00:50:47 --> 00:50:50
			principle of women by Paul
		
00:50:52 --> 00:51:15
			was that we should have hope, where there is a promise. Now the Divine Name a summon, eternal refuge
contains by implication, the divine promise of help and refuge to those deserving it and even those
not deserving the promises that if you help Allah He will help you.
		
00:51:16 --> 00:51:34
			So in Surah, Mohammed, verse seven, Allah says there, yeah, you already know amanu in tonsorial law,
you can sort of come with a bit up to Dharma comb, or you believe if you help Allah, He will help
you and make you stand firm.
		
00:51:36 --> 00:51:41
			This is a general principle for us to keep in mind.
		
00:51:42 --> 00:51:54
			The promise of our laws help if we help him or we just said that a law is not in need of help.
		
00:51:55 --> 00:52:00
			He doesn't need anything from immigration. So then how can we help him
		
00:52:01 --> 00:52:06
			we help him by helping his religion
		
00:52:07 --> 00:52:28
			by helping the implement the teachings by following the commandments, the instructions, by living a
proper Islamic life. In that way, we metaphorically help Allah. Because practically speaking,
		
00:52:29 --> 00:52:30
			we cannot help.
		
00:52:33 --> 00:52:55
			Life for human beings is synonymous with struggle and hardship. From our entrance in this world to
rolling over, crawling, standing up and walking, we struggle on through all the stages of life. The
eye insano in like a car different in our ob Becca Callaghan, from melotti
		
00:52:56 --> 00:53:12
			all humankind, toiling laborious Lee towards your Lord, you will meet him. So well in Shabbat, verse
six, until we finally meet Allah to be recompensed fully for all we earned in this life.
		
00:53:14 --> 00:53:21
			But throughout these various stages, we are in need of help from others around us.
		
00:53:23 --> 00:53:24
			Consequently,
		
00:53:26 --> 00:53:28
			we should appreciate
		
00:53:30 --> 00:53:36
			the help which people give us all along the way.
		
00:53:39 --> 00:53:46
			And we should also be ready to do the same for others around us.
		
00:53:48 --> 00:53:52
			That is what unites us. We help each other
		
00:53:54 --> 00:54:08
			through the means which Allah has given us, to help others. So Allah helps others through us, we
become instruments, our laws help
		
00:54:09 --> 00:54:14
			to the believers especially, and even to the non believers.
		
00:54:16 --> 00:54:18
			Moving on to the fourth
		
00:54:19 --> 00:54:24
			pillar, to have fear where there is a warning.
		
00:54:25 --> 00:54:34
			The Divine Name of summit does not directly contain a warning, as it describes the laws perfect
state of some idea
		
00:54:36 --> 00:54:45
			of being without any need. The warning lies in the consequence of not trying to help others as we
should.
		
00:54:47 --> 00:54:59
			That we would end up in distress and depression as a result of not doing our part in helping a law
to helping humankind because if Allah said in terms
		
00:55:00 --> 00:55:04
			Lion circle for law, if you help a lot, I will help you.
		
00:55:05 --> 00:55:09
			What it's saying is that if you don't help a lot, then Allah won't help you.
		
00:55:12 --> 00:55:49
			at critical times, not necessarily not help you at all, but at critical times, you will be at a loss
for loss help, you will wonder why a lie, you're not answering my prayers, I'm calling for your
help. I'm begging you for help. But you didn't help others in their times of need. We didn't have
the Dean of Islam to promote it, when you could have, you didn't share the knowledge of Islam that
you had with others around you. We didn't teach your children, Islam. So they grew up, flaky and
shaky.
		
00:55:52 --> 00:55:55
			We didn't help a lot. So
		
00:55:56 --> 00:56:09
			the consequences, Allah will not help us. And that is a fearful consequence, to be in a state where
we're not helped by a law
		
00:56:10 --> 00:56:13
			when we need his help the most.
		
00:56:15 --> 00:56:19
			With that, we're gonna conclude our session, today's session,
		
00:56:21 --> 00:56:24
			calling on Allah using these names this name,
		
00:56:25 --> 00:56:26
			as summit,
		
00:56:27 --> 00:56:45
			or law as summit, we know that you are the only eternal refuge provide a refuge for all of our
brothers and sisters who are suffering all over the world. Your summit, make us worthy instruments
of your aid to them,
		
00:56:46 --> 00:57:13
			make us turn only to you for the fulfillment of our needs, and teach others to do likewise. Yeah,
Allah, we realize that we need you at all times. So aid us to be of those who turn to you only for
our needs, and adorn us with a strong desire to please you alone. I mean,
		
00:57:15 --> 00:57:20
			a lot of people. So that's why they come to LA he bought a cat
		
00:57:23 --> 00:57:26
			will now move on to the third
		
00:57:27 --> 00:57:34
			section of our session, which is the Q and A
		
00:57:47 --> 00:57:58
			Beamish noorani. Why do Christians say which Quran to read is either many different versions of the
brand? No, there's only one Quran.
		
00:58:00 --> 00:58:01
			There is
		
00:58:04 --> 00:58:14
			a recitation wash, for which the same grant that we use is printed with slight differences
involving.
		
00:58:17 --> 00:58:29
			But they are the last ones in the world to talk about which version or which Koran to read, because
they have so many versions of the Bible.
		
00:58:31 --> 00:58:40
			Alone, just the Gospels themselves, scholars have said, there are more than 50,000 manuscripts
		
00:58:41 --> 00:58:48
			of the Gospels, just the four gospels No need to go into all of the other writings of Paul.
		
00:58:50 --> 00:58:51
			Saul of Tarsus,
		
00:58:52 --> 00:58:53
			who became
		
00:58:54 --> 00:59:01
			the founder of Christianity, who call the followers of Jesus Christians, it's him.
		
00:59:02 --> 00:59:13
			His writings are way more even than the so called four gospels, which is supposed to be the gospel
of Jesus as conveyed by these individuals. But in fact,
		
00:59:14 --> 00:59:15
			they don't even have
		
00:59:17 --> 00:59:29
			the gospel of Jesus. So they said that, for these four gospels, there are over 50,000 manuscripts,
no two manuscripts agreeing with each other.
		
00:59:31 --> 00:59:42
			Imagine that, in everything agreeing with each other and everything. They may be partially agreeing,
let's say there's no agreement, there's agreement to some degrees, but not in everything in the
texts.
		
00:59:43 --> 00:59:47
			That's how confused and lost they are.
		
00:59:48 --> 00:59:51
			When they ask you which Quran to read, we say to them.
		
00:59:54 --> 01:00:00
			Can we read the gospel of Jesus, please? Do you have it? So we can read
		
01:00:00 --> 01:00:00
			Get?
		
01:00:02 --> 01:00:11
			Of course they have to say no, we don't have it. All we have with the Gospel according to Matthew,
and who is Matthew? We're not sure.
		
01:00:12 --> 01:00:17
			And Mark Oh, who is Mark? Oh, we're not sure.
		
01:00:18 --> 01:00:22
			Luke, the gospel according to look, who was Luke?
		
01:00:23 --> 01:00:23
			We don't know.
		
01:00:25 --> 01:00:28
			JOHN, who is john john the baptist? No, no, no, no.
		
01:00:29 --> 01:00:32
			So what john was that? We don't know.
		
01:00:35 --> 01:00:37
			So you are the last people
		
01:00:39 --> 01:00:49
			to talk to us about which version of the Quran we should read. But if you go to
		
01:00:50 --> 01:01:04
			Guyana in South America, or Brazil, where they're Muslims, look at the Quran that they have, and
then go to Iran, go to Indonesia, go to China, go anywhere in the world. And what you find is the
same.
		
01:01:06 --> 01:01:07
			The text and say,
		
01:01:13 --> 01:01:15
			the Instagram students,
		
01:01:16 --> 01:01:23
			can a woman make it a condition of marriage on the car, that the husband will not take another wife?
		
01:01:24 --> 01:01:25
			No, she cannot.
		
01:01:27 --> 01:01:34
			But she can put in the contract. Because the processor said, whatever condition
		
01:01:36 --> 01:01:44
			is put in the contract, which goes against the book of Allah is invalid.
		
01:01:47 --> 01:01:51
			Once again, put is that if
		
01:01:53 --> 01:02:01
			her husband takes a second wife, he will give her permission to divorce him.
		
01:02:04 --> 01:02:06
			That she can do
		
01:02:07 --> 01:02:07
			it.
		
01:02:08 --> 01:02:16
			That way. If she feels that she can deal with it, she wants to get out. She can just divorce him.
		
01:02:20 --> 01:02:21
			Next question,
		
01:02:22 --> 01:02:25
			as you don't raise hands for do
		
01:02:26 --> 01:02:29
			after each session, like Jamal,
		
01:02:30 --> 01:02:36
			can we do the same? Or should we raise our hands while saying I mean,
		
01:02:38 --> 01:02:39
			on your glass?
		
01:02:40 --> 01:02:45
			No, you can do it. If you want to raise your hands while I'm making the dua
		
01:02:46 --> 01:02:50
			and repeating the Dwyer in your head, whatever is perfectly okay.
		
01:02:52 --> 01:03:09
			I could raise my hands making the DA or, and I can just make the dua without raising my hands. It's
not the necessity that the hands should be raised. Although, you know, processor and described the
man raised his hands high, making drop.
		
01:03:11 --> 01:03:19
			And then said his prayers aren't answered. Not because he raised his hands high, but because his
food was horrible.
		
01:03:20 --> 01:03:22
			And his earnings were around
		
01:03:25 --> 01:03:26
			from Instagram,
		
01:03:28 --> 01:03:30
			how to establish to top up
		
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35
			that's a lecture.
		
01:03:38 --> 01:03:39
			That's a lecture.
		
01:03:41 --> 01:03:49
			But we can say basically, to do whatever Islam instructs us to do.
		
01:03:51 --> 01:03:53
			With consciousness of Allah.
		
01:03:55 --> 01:03:57
			Being aware that we're not doing it ritualistically.
		
01:03:59 --> 01:04:05
			Culturally, according to tradition, we just do these acts, say these words.
		
01:04:07 --> 01:04:08
			But
		
01:04:09 --> 01:04:10
			there is a disconnect.
		
01:04:12 --> 01:04:13
			Our soul is not in it.
		
01:04:14 --> 01:04:17
			It's just an empty shell,
		
01:04:18 --> 01:04:19
			then we cannot achieve
		
01:04:21 --> 01:04:22
			mindfulness of the law.
		
01:04:24 --> 01:04:25
			God consciousness
		
01:04:26 --> 01:04:34
			can only do so when we do what we are commanded to do, and advise to do sincerely
		
01:04:35 --> 01:04:45
			trying to understand and to sincerely reach out to Allah through these different avenues of worship.
She has made
		
01:04:46 --> 01:04:47
			available to us.
		
01:04:50 --> 01:04:59
			Next question from Sean Mohammed. I know seven is the maximum amount of persons that can share in
the capital.
		
01:05:02 --> 01:05:07
			But can two three or four persons share the animal?
		
01:05:08 --> 01:05:14
			Yeah, less than the maximum is perfectly okay. perfectly possible
		
01:05:17 --> 01:05:19
			Salma hyack
		
01:05:23 --> 01:05:30
			from the land of Ponte, Ponte land asks, How can we give
		
01:05:31 --> 01:05:34
			to the needy wants in a in
		
01:05:35 --> 01:05:36
			a
		
01:05:38 --> 01:05:57
			in a hand that's safe and trustworthy I also am confused of these sects. Even the Sunni it's hard to
say I'm just a Muslim by believing Allah and the nabee the Sahaba and the Tabby diabet Tabby
		
01:05:59 --> 01:06:00
			well
		
01:06:02 --> 01:06:04
			save them sufficient
		
01:06:06 --> 01:06:12
			if people want to know Well, I you Sunni or Shia then
		
01:06:15 --> 01:06:21
			you should say I'm Sunni Sunni meaning I'm following the Sunnah. People love the sun the atmosphere.
		
01:06:23 --> 01:06:26
			And if you're from understood the words the MA,
		
01:06:27 --> 01:06:28
			but
		
01:06:29 --> 01:06:36
			you believe in the inner and the outer. And they asked you are you following the 30? Top? Or are you
following
		
01:06:38 --> 01:06:38
			hockey?
		
01:06:40 --> 01:06:42
			Then you have to say I'm following the 30.
		
01:06:43 --> 01:07:00
			Following the way the browser said and left behind, not the hockey which you claim is the inner
meaning of Islam only known to a special few passed down from peer to share to whatever.
		
01:07:02 --> 01:07:08
			So these terms are only used to distinguish to clarify what your
		
01:07:09 --> 01:07:11
			end take it all away your mister
		
01:07:14 --> 01:07:15
			from the
		
01:07:18 --> 01:07:20
			instagramers does it
		
01:07:21 --> 01:07:24
			have to say that contains alcohol?
		
01:07:26 --> 01:07:36
			Is it haram to use aftershave that contains alcohol? No, it's not. It is forbidden to drink alcohol.
		
01:07:40 --> 01:07:43
			Salma Hayek had actually asked in the beginning of that,
		
01:07:45 --> 01:07:48
			how to donate to the needy, why
		
01:07:49 --> 01:08:04
			not to people who are trustworthy? Well, there are organizations among Muslims and are dedicated to
giving charity to those who are truly needy.
		
01:08:06 --> 01:08:21
			And you meet the people who are in charge of those organizations and if they seem to you to be
trustworthy people you look at their operation doesn't look like it's ripping people off, etc. You
know, then you trust them you give
		
01:08:22 --> 01:08:24
			Allah will not hold you for more than that.
		
01:08:27 --> 01:08:33
			Five check as what's the best means what sila getting one doula answered.
		
01:08:36 --> 01:08:47
			Well, the prophets I send them and said, order are low and to move into an ability Java, call on
Allah, being certain that your you are will be answered
		
01:08:49 --> 01:08:57
			by Allah at the same time, you should know and Allah Allah is that you will do it men can be the
offing in LA that a lot doesn't
		
01:08:58 --> 01:09:07
			do all of the negligent and playful heart. meaning you're checking your watch and you're saying,
Robin, I
		
01:09:08 --> 01:09:09
			know
		
01:09:11 --> 01:09:24
			you're busy with everything I need to make in this vlog. Your mind is not even on the dryer and I've
been thinking about what to do I mean or anything. It's just a ritual. So will it be answered? No.
		
01:09:27 --> 01:09:33
			Consumer Zubair asks, we believe that everybody's life is already preordained.
		
01:09:35 --> 01:09:39
			how one should self improve his or her life with such
		
01:09:41 --> 01:09:43
			an authentic belief?
		
01:09:47 --> 01:09:49
			What is preordained
		
01:09:50 --> 01:09:55
			is that if you take the various routes
		
01:09:57 --> 01:09:59
			self improvement
		
01:10:00 --> 01:10:02
			Following the advice of Prophet Muhammad,
		
01:10:04 --> 01:10:08
			and you improve yourself, that's what was ordained.
		
01:10:09 --> 01:10:10
			And if you don't take
		
01:10:12 --> 01:10:13
			the various routes,
		
01:10:15 --> 01:10:20
			you don't make any effort to improve and to change yourself, etc.
		
01:10:22 --> 01:10:26
			And you don't change, then that was what was ordained.
		
01:10:27 --> 01:10:29
			Allah wrote,
		
01:10:31 --> 01:10:33
			what would happen?
		
01:10:34 --> 01:10:35
			You chose
		
01:10:37 --> 01:10:39
			what you want it to happen.
		
01:10:41 --> 01:10:42
			It's your choice.
		
01:10:44 --> 01:10:49
			But Allah knows ahead, what your choice is going to be. And he wrote it.
		
01:10:51 --> 01:10:57
			So the fact that he wrote, it didn't mean that they made you make that choice. No, it's still your
choice.
		
01:11:01 --> 01:11:02
			Mr. Graham,
		
01:11:03 --> 01:11:11
			my husband is mentally hurting me saying bad things and disrespecting my parents, what should I do?
		
01:11:13 --> 01:11:18
			Well, you need to get help in stopping him from doing that.
		
01:11:19 --> 01:11:27
			By disrespecting your parents speaking ill of them, etc. Of course, it's not permissible. And you
shouldn't tolerate it.
		
01:11:28 --> 01:11:41
			You need to get maybe somebody from his family was reasonable to speak to him, advise him and help
you to get him to stop.
		
01:11:42 --> 01:11:48
			But obviously, you can't. That's why you're asking the question here now. So you need help
		
01:11:49 --> 01:11:53
			get help from those who he respects? Who can advise you properly?
		
01:11:56 --> 01:11:57
			Question
		
01:11:58 --> 01:12:15
			from easy and natural. What's the limit of giving sadaqa? Should we give a little every day or fix a
monthly amount or to wherever the need arises? You give it wherever the need arises.
		
01:12:20 --> 01:12:26
			If you want to fix the amount, a small amount that were there are a particular amount every day you
can do that too.
		
01:12:27 --> 01:12:33
			forgiving every month, decide you're going to give so much. It's up to you. sadhaka is
		
01:12:34 --> 01:12:38
			your choice completely how you want to go about doing it, you can do it.
		
01:12:41 --> 01:12:59
			Question? further question from easier lateral. It's still confusing why people made some people
sense. were they doing too much worship? Like up your closet? Gilani, we said to be a humble it's
color.
		
01:13:01 --> 01:13:04
			No, they weren't doing too much worship.
		
01:13:08 --> 01:13:13
			The reason why they made them into saints was because shavon
		
01:13:17 --> 01:13:18
			made a trick on them.
		
01:13:21 --> 01:13:24
			deluded that confused them.
		
01:13:25 --> 01:13:28
			Thinking that simply because that person was pious.
		
01:13:29 --> 01:13:30
			It means
		
01:13:32 --> 01:13:34
			if that person makes do art for you,
		
01:13:36 --> 01:13:38
			it's more likely to get to Allah.
		
01:13:41 --> 01:13:55
			So they would ask those people to make draw. Later, after the people died. shaytaan came to them,
and said, even though these people are dead,
		
01:13:57 --> 01:14:00
			they are like martyrs. They're not really dead.
		
01:14:02 --> 01:14:07
			So if you pray to them, they will still take your prayers to Allah.
		
01:14:09 --> 01:14:14
			So these ignorant people follow them. And this practice spread.
		
01:14:17 --> 01:14:22
			And of course, this practice already existed amongst Christians,
		
01:14:23 --> 01:14:34
			who were among many who joined Islam who became Muslims whose countries were absorbed in the Islamic
empires spread.
		
01:14:35 --> 01:14:41
			They were used to that. So it was already in their system, praying to saints and all that. So some
of them brought it in with them.
		
01:14:43 --> 01:14:46
			Now gave it a new name, covered it up.
		
01:14:48 --> 01:14:59
			Or they simply did it out of ignorance. They didn't have sufficient knowledge, and they didn't go
and seek knowledge. That's why the process was not said. tolerable enemy for either locally Muslim
seeking knowledge is compulsory forever.
		
01:15:03 --> 01:15:07
			Okay with that Sharla will be closing our session today.
		
01:15:08 --> 01:15:18
			And my apologies for our late start by Allah Subhana coloniale hamburger shadow and stomp Furukawa
		
01:15:20 --> 01:15:23
			Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
