Then as I am in this journey, we
have a lot of detours, I call it,
distractions,
all of us.
But as I am distracted, am I in
a constant
revision
looking at where I am?
What happened, what did I achieve?
I guess I think this is the most
important question every Muslim should ask.
What did you do?
Yet up till now
in your life,
for your journey
to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Not how much money you make, how many
children, how many grandchildren,
how big is the house. This is all
gonna go to somebody else.
What did you do
in your book?
If if Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I I
always think these things because it makes me
awake. If Allah says, you know what? I'm
gonna give you your book now for review.
You know, you if you wrote a book,
you usually send it someone for review. So
Allah says, you know what? I don't know.
Let's say Fatima, I'm sure there is Fatima
in this club. Fatima.
Right? Fatima
or Khadija or Aisha,
This is your book. Review it.
I wish he does that, but he doesn't,
Subhan.
What are you gonna see in your book?
How you will you will grade
yourself.
Did Allah taught me this concept in the
Quran?
Yes or no?
You just finished
Ramadan.
Read your book.
Enough. Your nafs, me.
Enough. The nafs will take you accountable. It
will grade you.
So let's start from the beginning with the
fact
that where am I in my journey with
Allah?
Am I Sayedna
Ibrahim,
the Dua that he that he asked Allah,
and, of course, Allah responded to his Dua.
Literally, the first Dua, he made it in
Surah to
It's chapter 19.
Right? In Surah to Safa, which is chapter
23, Allah responded to his
Allah says from his family, he's talking about
Sayyidina Lut, from his family is Ibrahim. How
did he describe him?
He came to his lord, meaning it's in
the past sentence. It's it happened.
Bichal bin Saleem. He came to his lord
with a pure heart.
So what is the pure heart?
Sound heart is another name for it because
it's very hard to translate albu Saleem.
So some people some scholars says pure, some
scholars says sound. What is it?
Who can tell me? Raise your hand
because I know women will all jump to
answer.
It's beautiful,
and I'm being sarcastic.
It's a
it's
it's a beautiful
character. If you have 5 women, you ask
question, you will get 20 answers.
So let's raise our hand. What is it
for you? You all read
the flyer. What is it?
Where is it?
Yes, please.
So tranquility,
it's it's a result of the pure heart.
If your heart is pure, you will live
with tranquility.
It is not the character itself. It's the
result. Somebody will ask me, why do I
have to worry about a pure heart? Why
I'm doing all this? I said, because just
try it
and see how you will live
even if the whole world around you
in calamity,
in flooding
of problems,
you're living with tranquility. So it's a result,
but it is not it.
Who can tell me? If anyone, bismillah.
So it is a good deed and the
right intention.
No.
Yes.
So hard to free of ego, but it's
okay to have anger
and to have self
okay.
See see how I am trying
the reason I asked, and I want you
to answer because I want you to think.
It's way deeper than this.
Enough that Allah said
nothing will make me successful
on the day of judgment
unless my heart is pure.
So it can't be only
or only
or I feel. It has to be way
deeper,
That's part of it.
You're talking about the heart that will get
me to Jannah right away with no registration.
You zip into the the
Jannah, I told you. Yes.
The heart that has fear. The The heart
that has fear from Allah. No.
Last 1 I'm gonna take. Yes.
So the heart that he lives seek for
the sake of Allah. That needs a lot
of explanation. I'm gonna give it to you.
It is very difficult,
but let's learn.
And if Allah brought me is how I
want No. I'm gonna tell you because
that's okay. It's just because of the numbers.
Otherwise, I would love to live to hear
everybody.
I want you to know thing. When Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala makes something, the reward of
it
the reward of it
Really huge big or Allah really praise it.
That mean this is something not ordinary.
Majority of people cannot do it. Are you
all with
me?
The
heart
that is free
free, nothing
of the
1 1 sentence will give you all, and
then I'll give you more detail.
Nothing lives in that heart. Are you ready?
Except Allah.
Nothing.
You don't you love people, but they don't
live in your heart.
You don't like people, but they don't live
in your heart.
You love your job, they don't live in
your heart.
You love your beauty, it doesn't live in
your heart.
Well, how do I know they are not
living in my heart?
When you lose your job, what happens?
When the person you love left you for
whatever the reason,
what happens?
If you are gonna be sad or crying
or anxiety,
all this,
and they were living in your heart,
and Allah is stripping them away.
If you're gonna say,
Allah decree,
and whatever Allah decree will happen, and nothing
changes.
You have a Qalbu Siri.
How many has
You are very honest.
None of us.
None of us.
Because if I put the selfie, as you
know, the selfie we all love selfie.
That's fine as long as there's no kibber
in it. Alhamdulillah.
Although I sometimes I think it's it's getting
too much,
especially when I take selfie to myself and
post it. Why?
No. Honestly, it's not it's not a joke.
It's when I don't think of what I'm
doing, but when I start copy and paste
whatever others are doing. Why do I wanna
take an I am whatever I am? Why
do I not tell people where I am?
Right?
Why? Because I want I am looking for
the compliment.
I look for the likes,
and I read the comments, and I get
very upset
if someone says something.
It's not funny, it is painful
because I'm way far from the Qalbu Sahih.
When I do the Salafi, don't do it
on your face,
do it on your heart.
And of course this is metaphor, we can't
do it,
But if you put
it and Allah allowed it,
who you were seeing?
How many are living in your heart?
People,
things,
feelings,
and again anger,
arrogance,
self admiration,
all the diseases of the heart.
Once you get very upset and you start
talking about somebody, and I come to you
or anyone come to you and says, come
on. Forgive
her. And you say to her, but you
don't know what she did to me. Don't
talk to me about Albu Said.
Don't talk to me about.
If you want to know
in action,
read the story of Sayidna Ibrahim.
When he came to his father, which is
the famous dialogue you all know. It's in
Surat Maryam. Right?
Right? When what did Allah says? Right?
Many wait. Within Mariam, he said,
Mention to them Ibrahim he was.
He was a truthful
and he was a Nabi.
That's why. But then the relationship with the
father.
The father could be any 1 of us
in my life,
but I disagreed with him.
And I disagreed with him on a fundamental
issue.
That I am so convinced I'm right
and the other person is very convinced he
is or she is right. Right? Don't think
about Ibrahim
himself alaihis salaam, but about the concept.
This is when you read the Quran and
live the Quran. This is how it it
means. What they told you and now I'm
sure you all have hear heard about it
and there is classes here
Quran.
You reflect, you live the Quran, here you
go. This is the dialogue.
Right?
It's right?
Right?
Daddy.
And he said,
And those of you who know Arabic,
it's very different than and
it's very different than.
It's all translated to my father, but it
is very different in the Arabic language.
It's a word used when you really love
that person.
Yeah. Abati.
Yeah. It's Abuti Shaipan. Don't worship Shaipan.
Why? Explain.
No anger.
No. You're
wrong. No. Shaytan.
To the most merciful, and he didn't use
the word Allah.
That's another whole story. He used
He was disobedient,
right? And then he explained to him why
I'm saying this to you.
Daddy, daddy, I was given knowledge,
But he didn't say you're ignorant. We're gonna
go to Jahannam.
But no, daddy, I was given knowledge. You
were not given.
Right?
Just follow me. I don't want anything from
you. Just follow me.
I'm gonna take you, guide you to the
straight path. Right?
3 times.
I'm worried about you. That's love.
Again, I'm worried.
I'm worried about you that you will be
that that ar Rahman, the most merciful,
will you will be you will you will
you will be
touched
by a punishment from Ar
Rahman.
You will be the friend of Shaiva.
How beautiful is this?
Very polite
to the point. Right? No disrespect.
Right? And literally I translated it.
How did his father sit?
What did he respond?
Are you telling me you're not worshiping what
I am worshiping?
This is exactly how you read
it. It's a stepan. It's question, meaning how
dare you do that?
And then what did he say? I'm gonna
cast you.
Now when you go to a Hajj and
you cast the pebbles, that's Rajnani.
See what he said and how his father
responded.
I am gonna cast you and you leave
forever far away. I don't wanna see you.
How did he respond?
You really need to go and read this.
There's many
dialogues in the Quran teaches you many things,
but this 1 especially about when someone is
very harsh on you,
and I am for sure right,
Sayyidina Ibrahim. And he's talking to him about
Allah.
So he said, I'm gonna cast you and
you leave. Basically, I don't want to see
your face.
Right? What did he say?
Peace be upon you.
I'm gonna ask Allah for forgiveness for you.
Somebody looks at you and gives you this
whole long list of
names and calls you. You say, peace be
upon you. I'm gonna ask Allah to forgive
you. How many of you will do that?
Versus just wait
and see what I will do.
You don't know who I am.
Right? That's the no.
Or even don't wait immediately.
The Kalbu Samim,
the true heart,
that's why it is very difficult,
and that's why it's a straight shot to
Jannah.
When nothing in your heart lives other than
Allah, which means
anything that pleases Allah, I'm doing good. There's
no if and but.
I don't see human beings.
I see creation of Allah.
It's a huge difference.
I don't see sorrow, Fatima,
I don't see. I see all creation of
Allah,
and the creation of Allah is being moved
by Allah.
You didn't speak. Allah made you speak.
You did not attack me. Allah allowed you
to attack me. So when I hear this,
I don't say how dare you say this.
I say, you Allah, what did I do?
You unleashed
that person
towards me. Are you with me? Yes.
Everything
from morning to evening
roams around.
Allah
does not roam around me
and I
and my family and my beauty and my
money and my children. Look how many my
I just said.
That's a kalbousalini.
How many of us has it?
How many of us even know
this?
Because if I know and I know what
this will get me to, at least I'm
gonna start the journey.
But many of us, we think we're okay.
I'm going to Jannah.
Really.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala send you a
message,
and says Jannah is waiting for you.
Subhanah. No. No.
Nobody of you, you're selling Sahaba, not you
and me.
None of you will enter Jannah
by what they have done. Amalih.
Not even you?
He said,
Scholars have a lot of discussion about, like,
if a will
enter, what would happen to us? And the
response was because work is waiting for us
in Jannah.
Whatever we do here,
we don't qualify.
You know, like they tell you, you do
1, 2, 3, 4, and then you qualify
for whatever. Whatever we do here,
because of what is waiting for us in
Jannah.
In the Jannah,
there is things that no eyes have seen
before and no ears have heard.
So to get there,
I need a.
And 1 of the other millions and
now the 1 I told you, you may
wanna write that. This is actually.
And he said,
the true heart is the heart that is
free
of
the followings.
It's a long list,
but bear with me.
Free
mean nothing. It's not like 10% to 90%.
0. Nothing.
The heart that is free from every desire.
Pay pay attention to every word I'm saying.
Every
every desire in me
or you,
that goes against what Allah said do or
don't. I don't have it in my heart.
For example,
are you ready for a tough examples?
I think you are.
This.
What is the most important thing for the
woman?
Her beauty.
How do we look? That's reality,
and actually this is how Allah created us.
There is nothing Haram about that. I'm talking
in general the concept. Right? We all want
to look beautiful,
and I'm talking again about general concept. We
all look at the mirror before we leave.
Right? I do this or I don't do
that or why? Because I wanna look beautiful.
General concept. Now comes to my heart, and
what does it have related
to beauty?
Are you all with me? And then you
can put any other example.
So I am looking at the mirror
before I leave
wherever I am going,
and if I put this lipstick,
again I'm giving
reality examples
related to women.
If I'm gonna put this lipstick, I'm gonna
look more beautiful. I'm not gonna deny it.
I'm not gonna deny it because then I'm
liar. Right?
Or if I'm gonna put this
nail polish
or I am gonna put this fake
eyelashes that is the norm these days,
I'm gonna look more beautiful.
I'm not gonna deny it.
I'm not gonna say no, no, no, you
look ugly. Then I then I am not
living the reality.
My desire,
my
wants to look more beautiful. I'm looking at
that mirror, and I say I look much
better, especially with this color.
Nothing wrong with that. Now come to the
Qalbu Said.
Now I am debating,
is that pleasing to Allah?
Are you all with me? Remember,
that heart has nothing in it
but
Him,
capital h. So I'm looking at the mirror
and there is this debate
and nobody is hearing it except you and
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. And you're gonna say,
but this is not pleasing to him.
Because he said, don't show your beauty.
Right? Except to the few exceptions.
Why I'm doing it? Because I like it.
I love it.
And people will praise me.
That's my desire.
Now, Albu Salim is gonna stand up and
is gonna say, no, no, no, no, no.
This desire
is not pleasing to Allah. In fact, it's
against what he said.
I'm gonna go right away
and remove the lipstick.
Then my heart is saying,
are you all with me?
And take it on everything else. I gave
you just a simple example.
1 of the issues we have, I'm not
talking about people, before people, I'm still in
the house alone, is the debate inside me.
There's a big debate
inside us.
Most of us have this sound
of good heart.
When I do something wrong, I know I
am doing it.
True or false? Very unlikely.
Very unlikely I really didn't know,
but most of the time, I know.
What happens?
Why do I do
it? Not only I like it,
now listen to this, I start justifying it
And that's how Shaipan operates on
me. 1 of the biggest
tools of Shaipan
operates on me to justify the disobedience is
Allah is.
Allah is all forgiving. Allah is all merciful.
Absolutely, Allah is all forgiving, all merciful. Who
I am or who you are to deny
this, but what do I do with the
other part?
I love this verse.
We are what we are gonna tell you
is nothing different that what than what we
have said to the prophets before you.
Your Lord
owns a lot of forgiveness.
We live with this side,
Wado I Qa bin Alim,
and he has a painful
punishment.
So when I am trying to justify
my
disobedience to Allah, and I just gave you
the simple example.
Same thing when I do when I wanna
wake up for Fajr.
Same thing when I'm so upset with this
person, and I'm gonna say something in me.
Say, don't say it. This is not pleasing
to Allah and back and forth. All these
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
sayin Ibrahim. It's not gonna happen this week.
It's a struggle.
