The first etiquette I need to learn is
the etiquette with whom?
I want you to answer me.
With Allah.
And that's the first thing in the Surah,
the first verse.
First verse.
Don't move forward
before Allah.
Move forward?
Can I move forward before Allah?
Yes or no?
Physically,
I can't.
Reality,
yes or no?
And how is that?
You know when you come
and Allah says do this,
anything, and you say why?
I'm not convinced.
And I tell you Allah said so, you
say I'm not convinced.
You moved in front of Allah. Are you
arguing with Allah?
You're arguing with the creator?
Now you're gonna say, but I don't do
it. And I say,
don't answer.
As you go through your day,
ask yourself this, did I answer in a
way
different than what Allah said in the Quran
than I am?
And so the first etiquette is with Allah.
Do not and
also for you, especially those who know Arabic,
when you say no in English or nay,
it's very different from the la in the
Quran. There's 2 kinds of la in the
Quran, don't. 1 mean don't do it,
which means order, which means obligation to follow,
and if you don't do it, you're disobeying
Allah. The other one mean it's not gonna
happen,
or it didn't happen. This one is don't
do.
If I do it, I'm disobeying Allah.
The order when you study science of the
Quran, they teach you this. The order in
the Quran means an obligation,
unless there is
associated with something telling you different. Number 1,
etiquette with Allah. What does it mean? Do
not say or do something. Allah said don't
say or don't do.
Period.
