Yes. Do whatever you want.
We don't.
None.
The only reality,
true reality of this life is what?
Everything in this life is a possibility. True
or false?
Except one thing,
death. Yaqeen. That's why Allah called it Yaqeen
in the Quran. Certainty.
Allah said this at the last verse of
Surat Al Hajar.
Worship your Lord till your face Yaqeen,
certainty, it's actually done.
So quickly,
my beautiful sisters and my dear brothers,
quickly
work for Allah.
Move everything in your life, whatever he gave
you, to make it an act of worship.
He gave you the best children, use this
to get to Jannah. He gives you children
which is a struggle,
use it to go to Jannah. Gave you
beauty, use it to Jannah. Gave you power,
use it to Jannah. Whatever he gave you,
use it to
hasanah
so you will end up
in Jannah. Number 8. Right? We are yes.
What is time for you?
If somebody asked you this abstract question,
can I ask you that?
No?
The,
yes?
Bismillah,
how you say if I I come and
I say, you know what? This is my
first time meeting Muslims,
and, I have a question for you. I
was like, okay. Let's see what she's gonna
ask.
And I'm gonna say, what is time
for a Muslim?
What does time mean for a Muslim?
Who can answer me? Anybody.
So time is Amana, is a trust.
I'm sorry?
It's a creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Everything is a creation of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala.
Currency?
What do you mean?
I know what you mean, but I want
everyone to understand it.
Time is what? It's a currency. What does
it mean?
It's what?
So it's like your bank savings.
It's your currency
for the akhir.
I like that.
Where is
time? This side. This side. This side. This
side is much more active. I don't know
what's wrong with this side.
Why? We may have to change.
This side.
I'm sorry?
Unlimited
resource?
Limited resource? I'm so limited?
Okay. So limited resource.
I can't hear you.
Nirma, it's a blessing.
All the time?
It can be a nieema,
huge blessing
and it can be a huge
not nieema.
What else?
I'm I'm still waiting for one answer. I
didn't hear it. Everything you answered is correct.
There's one answer I'm waiting for. I am
a non Muslim.
I'm asking you, tell me, what is time
for a Muslim mean?
One person.
Opportunity. We heard that. It's like a currency.
I will be asked about.
I will be asked about the time.
Time.
How many places in the Quran
Allah made an oath with the time?
Isn't that the time?
Isn't that time?
Sometime,
one of them is like is a time,
but reflect
day.
Night reflected the night. Why did he made
this oath?
Especially you will ask,
why?
When do you make an oath?
This is how you ask yourself. When you
read the Quran,
I you all have to ask
questions, not your, Udubillah, questioning Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala, but you're saying, what are you teaching
me?
Why did you put?
Why didn't you
say something else?
When do you use oath?
When the oath is
important,
it's gonna come next month.
The 10 nights
time,
it's my
asset.
It is
the
if I wanna say this, the thing that
Allah gave me
that will take me to Jannah straight
or will take me out of Jannah straight.
So the first thing is as a Muslim
I need to look at time. Why time?
Because I am limited. I have limited time
here.
How often we say, I don't have time.
How often?
All the time.
All the time I don't have time.
Right?
True.
All the time. I wish the day is
28 hours.
Right? I wish the year is 13 months.
And if it was 13, I wish it
was 14.
I need to look at time
as my
investment.
Time is an investment.
I will see
the benefits.
I will see
the return of my investment, if you want
to use the words that the money people
use, where will I see the return of
my time?
There.
And that's why Allah made the oath
because it is
something take me straight to jannah. He want
to remind me and you
pay attention
to time.
Everything,
every human being is a loser
except
you all know the the verses.
They practice patient and they help each other
to do the truth.
What does this has to do with?
The person
who has,
they look
they are so miser
with their time,
more than
the person who's so stingy,
miser with their money.
Let's do you anybody in this room know
somebody who's very miser?
Right? What do they do?
Tell them to donate $10.
They're so keen about their money.
Right?
They calculate.
They think,
uh-uh, this is too expensive. No. No. No.
No. I'm wasting this.
I can get the same thing with much
less money. Do you hear that?
Yeah. We don't need this.
Right? If you tell them we're less we're
gonna go for dinner. Yeah. I can eat
in the house.
The person with Al Qalbous Saleem. Now we're
making the connection.
The person with Al Qalbous Saleem,
the pure heart,
they are
so worried
about their time
way more than the stingiest
person
worried about their money.
Is this clear?
Let's take examples. Bismillah,
are you ready
to be hit
hard? Bismillah.
How much we waste our time?
Again, this side. This side.
This side, perfect.
Like they know it all.
I'll give you an example, true example again.
So I had this lady with me, helping
me. We had guests coming.
And she said, how can I help you?
I said, you know what? Why don't you
make a salad, and I'm gonna make something
else.
Okay?
The woman is making salad.
I personally do salads,
and everything has to have time.
I'm cooking, finish the first recipe,
finish the second recipe. She's chopping.
And I looked and I said,
45 minutes to do a salad?
Only a friend, so I was joking. I
was like, if I'm gonna spend 45 minutes
doing a salad, I will not eat salad
or I will order salad.
That's waste.
One of the first thing I was taught,
may Allah reward everyone who taught me,
they said,
if anything takes
5 minutes to do
and you do it in 7 minutes, you're
wasting and Allah will ask you.
A scary statement for a student of knowledge,
but I needed to hear it.
So this is for everybody.
You have to be so careful about your
time
because time is my investment.
I just shared with you
the imam who spent 4 hours,
right, in salah. What an investment.
And how many hours we spend was in
other things
in general.
Scholars of the hearts will tell you, your
day needs to be divided into 4 parts.
So don't think you only have to do
worship.
That's not reality.
Part of it,
it's usually 4. Part of it,
is you and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Period.
You with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Part of it
for making your living. So if you are
working or you have, you you work outside
the house or you work inside the house,
Doesn't matter. Make your living. Because we as
Muslims, we need to be
independent, take care of ourselves. We cannot have
all the Muslims worship Allah only and who's
gonna feed us.
So these are the 2, then you have
the 2.
Part of it is with people
who's gonna bring you closer to Allah.
We, human beings, by nature, love to be
with people.
Why What is the name of the human
being in Arabic?
I wanna hear it.
Insan.
Right? What's the origin of insan? Uns.
And then uns is solace with somebody.
By nature,
human beings
is not the nature to be alone.
The nature is to be with people whether
in these days people are real people or
people
virtual.
But we are by nature.
Allah created us to be with people. That's
why Allah created to Hawa for to say
it in Adam.
So part of your day is with people.
What is the 4th part now? So people
including family, including friends,
but this needs to be
divided equally. What is the fourth one?
Yourself
reflecting
on you,
me,
our journey,
where I am,
reflecting on Allah creation,
reflecting on my mistakes,
reflecting on my good deeds, reflecting,
and taking care of yourself also.
So 4 parts.
One with Allah,
one with my dunya. I need to take
care of my dunya. I need to work.
I need to make money. I need to
be independent.
All this,
fine. Part with people
and part with you.
Normally, look at this 4 and tell me,
Including the sleep goes in here.
Tell me reality.
From these 4, where are we?
What's the percentages?
I
I don't hear anything.
So what is the ratio?
What is the ratio of me and Allah
and the ratio of me and my work?
The ratio of me with people
and the ratio with of me with me,
I leave it to you.
Your own self has a right upon you.
People has right upon you.
Allah has right upon you,
and making a living has a right.
12, 16 hours working, what's left?
What's left?
Not enough energy to breathe,
Let alone to reflect,
to to pray properly,
take care of the people.
Balance.
Balance.
What the
scale.
Don't
don't tilt
the scale.
Again, our problem humanity, not only Muslims,
is we have tilted the scale.
Either I spend most of my time taking
care of myself
or most of the time working,
A lot of the time complaining.
Too much time with people, there's no balance.
Not even balance in the days, Jani. Someday
I have to work more. Okay. In the
day that I don't have to work more,
will I bring the balance back?
That's for
you.
Is where there is balance in the time.
Balance in the time
and make the time the investment.
This is the and to me, in this
day and age, this is the most important
one.
I have seen people,
subhanallah, for their time.
I learned
one thing which I have not learned before,
20 minutes nap. Most of the teachers, female,
where they taught me, that's what they do.
I say 20 minutes nap,
and then I woke up.
They said, yeah, more than enough. It will
give you the energy. Try it.
20 minutes.
If they are in the car and they
are not driving, they're doing something beneficial.
There's no phone call. Just hi, how are
you, what's going on, and on and on.
The phone call has to be serving something,
helping people, serving something, teaching something, something
for my
bank account of the akhir.
Number 9.
Are you tired?
You're real?
I hope you're not making this up just
to make me happy.
I don't think so. Like,
the 91.
Okay. Another question because the question makes you
think.
When you finish your salah and I bring
the example of salah because this is something
we all know. When you finish, let's say
we're gonna go for
and then when I finish,
What's the worries
when I go back and think of sunnah?
Normally, what do we say?
I prayed.
Right?
How often
me and you and us?
Think of the following question.
What quality of salah I did?
What did I present to Allah? What quality?
Who who think and worry about the quality
of the deed,
not the deed?
Show me hands.
The quality,
not too bad. How about Ramadan, the fasting?
Did we say I fasted the month
Did I say the usual
30 days of no food and no drink?
But the quality,
the person of Al Qalboussaneen,
what is about the quality of the deed?
Not only doing the deed.
And the quality include the following.
For those of you who said yes.
Number 1,
was it pure for Allah?
Did you do it to the best of
your ability?
Did you do it
following
the sunnah of
Alaihi, did you do it with
ihsan,
utmost excellence?
Look at the next 2.
And I if you remember this,
it will change your life.
Do you look at what you did,
a good deed,
that this is a favor
Allah gave you?
I didn't do
it. It's not because of me.
It's he he
favored me with this.
You say,
You made me fast.
You brought me here. You
made me stand up and teach.
And
the last one, you look how much
you could have done it better.
You know when we do this all the
time?
When we cook.
Honestly,
you all do that. We cook, let's say
if you're baking a cake,
the first thing when the cake comes out
from the oven and you turned it, what
do you look at? Shape.
Should be better.
It's a little bit dent here.
I want it to be, what is that?
You're looking at
the shortcomings
that I could have done it better And
then if you are gonna put frosting and
you're gonna put,
whatever you're gonna garnish it with, you keep
looking at it and you move it. Why
do they turn it? Why do they you
put it on a round and then you
turn, so you see all the corners. Looks
good.
Let me do this. Let me do that.
The person of Al Qalbous Salim
looks at the deeds
they do with Allah with this.
It wasn't the best,
I could have done the salah a little
bit more.
I could have said the dhikr. Now again,
this is highest high levels, but at least
let's start with the beginning.
I'll give you one practical example.
How many of you timed their salah?
Time the salah.
You entered, it was 1 o'clock.
And then when you finish, you said
105.
And you say that's it, 5 minutes?
Versus you're gonna say, I'm gonna do 15
minutes,
So I'm gonna do my
longer. I'm gonna do my and you're gonna
start counting.
I'm gonna do
15 times.
I'm gonna do
20 times, whatever it is.
The more you worry about the quality,
what are you presenting to Allah,
then I did it,
then your because
your focus on Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Number 10, there's 2 more only left, and
then may Allah
make me number 1 able to do it.
The number 10,
the kalbu salim
is salim
salim
sound healthy
from
anything
that Allah does not love.
Nothing in that heart.
If I take the the heart out of
the person who has Qalboussareem
and I look at it, nothing in there
that Allah doesn't love.
Let's let's do some exercise of the Quran.
What does Allah doesn't love? Give me give
me examples from the Quran.
Allah does not love. What?
Those who practice injustice,
do you?
Of course, you're gonna say no. Really?
Really?
So when your friend that you really love
say something and you don't like that,
then just say, you know what? She didn't
mean it.
And the person who sit next on this
other side, you don't like her. She said
exactly the same.
Right? And you say, uh-huh.
See? I told you. That's why I don't
like her.
That's injustice. You have 2 scales.
It's the same word.
The children. It's a huge problem, honey.
Children.
Especially when the child, one of them is
really easygoing and help you, and the other
one is, we call it their high maintenance.
You know what that mean? That's very common,
but phrase in the United States. High maintenance
meaning difficult person in general, even with patients.
Sometimes like, oh, that's a high maintenance patient.
Meaning I have to be more patient, I
have to be
when you have these 2 children, do you
treat them fairly?
100%.
And if I open that heart, I'll find
in it everything Allah says.
Allah loves those who are truthful.
Those who are forgiving, who give does everything
with excellence.
That's the heart.
Everything in it
that Allah loves
and everything that Allah doesn't love. And I'm
gonna share this hadith, I love this hadith
to an imam Ahmed.
Rasool alaihis salatu wasalam said, who are which
one is the best person?
Who which of the people
is best?
Who is? Can anyone answer?
I'm sorry?
One person. I'm sorry.
So small deed continuously.
You're referring to another hadith.
Now this is the question is who's the
best person?
If I ask you here who's the best
person,
gonna say the person who obey Allah,
the person who does this, the person the
person who's mashallah does all this charity, whatever.
Right?
He said 2 qualities.
1 is related to the heart. That's why
we're talking about. He said,
and I said
He said everyone
who is 2 criteria,
look at yourself, don't look at anybody.
Pure of heart.
Pure of heart
and truthful in speech.
They said we know truthful in speech. That's
easy.
What is this pure heart?
This is the word he said in an
Araby, which is hard word. What is this
pure heart? They want a real you know,
as we say, one of the bottom line.
And he said and he gave it to
us. And let's see you. He said,
the pure heart
is
a person who is
pious.
The heart is absolutely pure, and they said,
what is that? He said, doesn't have the
following.
No sin,
no injustice,
no anger,
no
envy.
Let's say it one more time.
Truthful in tongue.
Hopefully that's easy.
Now come here. Nobody knows except him, subhanah.
I have no idea what is in your
heart. You have no idea what is in
my heart, only him.
Four things.
The heart is pious. That's your relationship with
him.
And the heart is pure. That's relationship with
people.
No anger,
no hatred,
no jealousy
at all,
and don't and there is nothing next to
it says
it depends what they did.
Did you see it? Now you're laughing, all
of you.
So alhamdulillah, you got it. No sin,
no injustice,
no envy,
no anger,
then you have a pure heart.
If you say to yourself or to somebody,
I can't forgive her. You don't know what
she did to me.
Your your heart pure heart, is in process.
Or you say you don't know what he
did to me. He stole my money.
He took the company from me,
Right?
He hurt my daughter.
He did this and this and this and
this to my daughter.
I can never forgive him. That doesn't mean
you love him.
We are human,
but I am not gonna say I will
never forgive him.
Miss Paula, I was this with a very
dear friend to me. Her daughter went coming
through divorce,
and it was a hard one. And I
I mediated
between them. And the man really and please
forgive me, brothers, but really the man was
very unfair.
SubhanAllah.
And he ruined her
as a woman.
And subhanallah and the the the the the
wife didn't say much. She was very but
the mother, her mother says, I can't forgive
what he did to my daughter.
And I said, how does Allah forgive us
then?
What did we do to him?
How much he gave us?
And we disobey
him right and left.
Right? And we does things he doesn't like
and he still give us.
So look at your heart.
If you still can't say I can't forgive
him or when the picture of that person
comes in front of you, there's still feelings
here.
You know how you know what I'm saying?
Then you are not there yet.
The last but not the least,
you follow the sunnah of
to the letter.
You don't say it's just sunnah,
and I think we talked about it.
And he he took the hand of Abu
Umama,
and he was one of the sahaba,
and he said
he, Abu Umama al Bahili, he said the
Rasool alaihi
took my hand and he said
from the believers
there is some where their hearts
are
are lenient to me.
Hearts their hearts are close to me. And
he said what is that? He said they
follow my sunnah.
Don't you belittle the sunnah of Rasulullah
to say.
Don't you say it's just a sunnah.
On the
contrary, you Allah make me follow his sunnah
in every bit.
Somebody recently said I'm gonna go and do
a hijama. You know, hijama?
Yes, everybody?
The hijama cupping.
And and they said, why?
Said no reason.
Sunnah.
I loved it.
Because the the person who was doing the
Hijama for them, they said, do you have
any problem? Says no. Said then why you're
doing it? It's sunnah.
He used to do it. I wanna do
it.
Then the heart is.
Your heart is.
The last but not the least.
No. Actually, this was the last one. Summary.
So I'm gonna give you the summary.
Bismillah. It's gonna be points. Let's take home
with you.
The sound heart is the following.
The heart
please forgive me.
Heart.
All the worry is about Allah.
And this is gonna be all. The word
all is gonna come
in every point.
All the worry is about Allah.
All the love
is for Allah.
All the intention
is for Allah.
All his body or her body
for
Allah.
All the deeds
for Allah.
Sleeping
for Allah.
Waking up
for Allah,
talking about Allah
more beloved
than talking about anything else.
All his thoughts
roam around what
pleases Allah.
The whole heart is by Allah,
for Allah,
and with Allah.
All the heart is
by Allah,
for Allah
and
for Allah.
And the heart walks always
with Allah,
away from people.
May Allah give
us this.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us of
those who will stand in front of him
with a pure heart.
Make this dua for yourself.
Make it for your family.
Make it for all the brothers and sisters.
Allah will this is not hard for Allah.
Maybe hard for you and me, but it's
not
hard whatsoever
for Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
