Justification
acts
all from Shaipan.
Your heart. This is what I want you
all to do when you go home, and
do it alone.
Write the quality
of the
sound
heart, and and apply it in your daily
life.
And see how many times listen to this
1. How many times you will fail,
and how many times you will succeed?
Because this is a process. This is not
today you heard this, tomorrow you are Masha'Allah
say, Ibrahimi. It's not gonna happen
this way. It's a struggle
because I don't know number 1,
and once I know it's a tough road
because I'm going against the most difficult factor,
which is me by the way, don't blame
people.
We always blame people. I don't blame people.
I blame me, number 1.
Right? But again, we live in a society.
It's always someone's else's fault. Right? I failed
because the teacher doesn't love me.
I I don't say I didn't study or
I don't say, you know what? I studied
very well, but Allah did not want me
to pass. I always blame it on somebody
else. So number 1, the heart that is
free. When I say free, mean there is
nothing.
So I can say I'm working on it.
I'm in the process like I'm losing weight.
My goal, whatever the goal, I didn't reach
it yet but I'm working on it.
So my goal
is my heart is free,
nothing,
any desire
that does not
please Allah,
and any desire that does not please Allah
is out out.
Number 1.
Now the second 1, she's the toughest 1,
especially living in the West, being sophisticated,
educated,
and and from every
thought
that goes against what he said.
Are you all with me?
Every thought
goes against what he said. Who can give
me an example?
Applies to women.
Al Hijab. Absolutely.
Dress stomically properly. What do you hear? Number
1,
it's not in the Quran.
It's not in the Quran, which is absolutely
wrong,
but that's the easiest way.
I said, it's not in the Quran. He
didn't tell me.
It's a thought in my mind,
and I am actually denying
or my thought is absolutely against what he
told me.
And I always tell people,
really it's not in the Quran? You read
the Quran all of it?
And she said absolutely. I said,
No. I'm not thinking fine. It's
She read it, and I say, you understand
everything in the Quran? Every word, at least
word to word? She said, yes.
Okay?
I said, fine. Open Surah to know. Right?
Okay.
Let them
press their
hard
on
their bosom or their chest.
She said, yeah. I know that.
Okay. What is Khimar?
Don't answer me.
Khimar
is any material you use
that by default
cover the head.
By default. And I always give this example
to make it very easy for everyone.
Sometimes men argue this by the way. It's
not only women.
And I say, when I say trouser,
let's say easier. When I say shorts,
what does short mean? Which part of the
body is already covered?
The private part. There's no question. Right? If
I'm gonna say make your short longer,
does that mean the private part is not
covered
or it is covered
by default?
Right?
But that means make it longer. I'm giving
you example to make it easier
to understand. That's what Allah said.
So when I come
because I don't want it or it is
difficult for me
or whatever the reason, and by the way,
and I'm saying this in public,
putting hijab is not easy.
If any 1 of you say hijab is
easy,
there's 2 possibilities.
Either you have not done it yet.
No, really.
I really need it.
Or Allah made it easy for
you. SubhanAllah.
But in general,
it is absolutely against everything I want to
do because I keep Shaitan keeps telling to
me and even I tell myself, I don't
look beautiful
and I want to look beautiful. All of
us.
So when my thoughts now back to the
Qalu Saleem.
When the thoughts comes in my mind
that is opposite what Allah is saying,
and I start justifying it's not in the
Quran. No. This is not. Let alone when
I come and discuss, and I argue about
Al Bukhari and about the hadith, and I
have no idea what is the name of
Al Imam Al Bukhari.
Absolutely, my heart is not saying.
There's a huge difference
between me when I say, you know what?
I know
it's an obligation,
and I know
Allah said it in the Quran.
Make Dua for me, but Allah make it
easy.
This woman, you kiss her on the head
and make a Dua to her because she's
really struggling.
Versus somebody looked at me and says I'm
not convinced.
That's a tough 1.
Again, don't don't
blame people. Don't attack people, but it's a
tough 1 because this 1 you have to
convince her.
And usually,
my mind, and again, please forgive me your
all women, especially we women when we get
educated.
When we get very educated in dunya things,
we think we know everything,
and our kibr increase our arrogance all of
us whatever your job is
and especially if you are successful
and well known,
it's so hard to go against your ego.
You have to be really honest.
Now you go home and says, what do
I like
And what I don't like, that's desire.
Is what I like is exactly what Allah
told me, is what I don't like is
opposite.
What is my thoughts?
My thoughts.
And apply it on whatever decision you need
to make
whether in dunya or whether in Afar.
And then he says so these 2, and
then he says, bend that heart
when it is absolutely clear from Selim,
from every thought that is opposite Allah's order
or
order to do or not to do, and
absolutely free from every thought that goes against
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Quran and sunnah, then he says,
that heart, this is what I love actually.
This is
me. He said that heart now is free
from slavery
to anything
but Allah.
In general,
if you again look deep down, think of
this,
Allah, we are slaves to so many things.
Someone look at me and says, you are
a slave. I get offended.
But reality I am.
I'm slave to what people think of me.
I'm slave to the things I love.
I'm slave to food.
I'm slave to sleep. Right?
I'm slave to talking. I'm slave to talking.
These days, I'm slave to social media and
online.
But when my heart is these 2 things,
follow what he said, subhanah, I become the
real servant of Allah.
Glory him who
moved
his
servant. He called the Rasul
Islam's king
because that's the highest level of worship
when you are a true slave to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala. You know? What does what
does the slave do?
When you ask anything, what do they say?
Yes.
Yes, sir. If you live in countries where
you have people who serve you,
right? What do they say? Yes.
Yes. No argument.
That's the true slave.
Do I say to Allah yes every time?
Categorically
24 hour 7 day 247
no arguments? No.
No. When I can I'm still young.
Let's see.
I'm not convinced.
All these
talks and, of course, we people come and
make it even
better. True heart.
Now I'm gonna give you something different feelings.
Feelings.
True hearts.
The heart that the feelings just let me
yeah. Alhamdulillah, we still have time. The feelings
in the heart. What is normal feelings in
the heart? Let's let's have you talk.
I don't know why we made the light
less.
Why? I'm a person love lights.
May Allah give us part of His light
on us.
Yes, please. Unless there is a real technical
So please turn it off. There's aqa wahay.
No, everything on. Yeah, alhamdulillah.
Even more. Yeah.
Right?
I would love to see your faces.
I'm sure they have the reason.
What feelings in general don't talk about
we're talking about general. What feelings normally my
heart
can have? Not necessarily you have, but can
have. What feelings, miss Mila?
Jealous. So we have jealousy.
We have
love.
I'm sorry?
Please don't speak to raise your hand. It
gets too noisy here. Yes.
So feeling loneliness,
Uh-huh.
Infatuation,
anxiety,
happiness,
anger.
Yeah. Hatred was said. Uh-huh.
I can't hear you.
You. I can't hear you. Sadness. Okay. What
about reliance,
desire?
I wanna do something.
Right? They say,
look at the feelings and now grade your
feelings.
Right? They and he said,
the feelings,
the will,
I want, the will,
the love,
the reliance,
the return
or the focus,
the submission,
the fear,
the hope,
and everything that heart does.
Pay attention to the next statement.
For Allah only.
Only.
Allah says,
I am
not in need of any partner.
Whomsoever decide to have a partner, and I'm
not talking about partner in worship, we're not.
We all
say.
We all bear witness. There's only 1.
But I'm talking about the shirkul kafi,
the feeling,
the reliance,
the love, the dependence.
And Allah says if you have anyone,
anyone,
I will leave you on the day of
judgment
with that thing.
I
Go.
You prefer this human being over me? Go.
In fact, he leaves you here.
He leaves you here with this.
And there's
many
of
the 1 that comes.
I don't recall the exact wording.
When he says the meaning of whenever you
prefer something over Allah.
Pay attention to this. Whenever you prefer something
over Allah.
Again, you, beauty, family, husband, work, you name
it, whatever, people,
Over
Allah, he said the meaning of you will
be tortured by that thing.
And all of you, if you think about
it deeply,
you will say, yes. This is true. I
see it a lot with mothers
because the natural feeling of a mother,
she loves her children.
It's natural, and Allah created us, fashioned us
in a way
that we love our children. Very unlikely. These
are the exceptions to the rule.
Right?
Majority of the women
disobey Allah
because of
children. True or false? Especially when you really
love them.
Sometimes may Allah forgive the children, and may
Allah forgive the parents.
The children actually abuse this law
abuse this law.
Now you prefer that child over Allah.
You will suffer from this child.
