Hamza Yusuf – Ramadan Ruminations 2019 – Lesson 5 – Goodness and Purity

			Mr Narayan Rahim Salam O Allah say Mohammed vida de osaki will send them to steamer, the hamdulillah
Salaam Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh shala. We've been looking at taqwa and this idea of the
people of taqwa, another car, or principle in the Quran is the idea of, of
		

			leap or goodness.
		

			And, and the opposite of what is by is called, hopes, or, or hobbies. So you have a pie you born and
then you have the whole betta. The big boon are the people of taqwa. These are the people that have
trained their souls discipline their souls to be good in Allah Hata Ivana la Eva, Allah has his his
pure and good and he only accepts the pure and the good. So, this this is this is a very important
quality in the Quran, Allah subhana wa Dallas's on layer stoian habito. What if they're not equal
the hubbies to the thigh, they're not equal to fall to the pure, they're not equal, the polluted to
the, the, the pure. And so this is a very important principle in the Quran, that the Bible not by
		

			you bad, pure people, pure men for pure women.
		

			And so pureness is, is a quality that can be found in anything.
		

			You can have pure water, you can have polluted water, you can have pure money, which is money that
was earned through halau means you can have impure money which is money, which was earned through
haram means. So understanding what purity is is very important. And this is one of the things that
Muslims are working on on themselves to get closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala through getting pure,
Allah subhana wa denniss we have a lot of hobbies. about them, they are como Jamia vieja, Adolphe
denim that Allah will have the hubby's that some of it on on others. So it piles up for your coma
home means it piles up all together, and then he puts it into the *. So the hubbies is headed to
		

			* or pi tube is headed to paradise. So this is something really important to remember that we
want to be by Allah subhana wa tada when he says polarise that we are habito piab then he says well
Angelica katha to hubbies even if you're impressed by so much of the foulness for taco la Ha. Yeah,
hula and Bab have Taqwa Oh, people have innermost understanding. Lando come to flee home. This is
this is in America is reminding us that hubbies is not the same as by you. taqwa is not the same as
its opposite, which is a state of disobedience to a law. But then it says what oh, Angelica,
Catherine or Hubby, even if you're impressed with so much of the hobby, because when you look out in
		

			the world, you'll see all of this cubbies and it seems to be flourishing.
		

			Don't be impressed by it. So you see, if you want a successful television program today, it has to
be foul. You can't have a pure television program. That's how you're going to have success in the
dunya but not in the era.
		

			If you look at people now that it's found this is what seems to charm other people. Pure people by
young people now are looked on as what's wrong with you get with the program.
		

			Why aren't you drinking? Why are you dressing modestly? Because to dress immodestly is hope to dress
modestly is label but it's it's it's something that reflects purity. And so that's what the Quran is
saying. And then it says Fatah cola. This is like the in the there was a airplane crash that
happened
		

			several years ago. And there was a Syrian family that when they were getting on the plane in order,
they they were demanding that this woman take off her hijab, and she refused and the family was she
said, I do this for God. I'm not going to take off my hijab was for identification, and she wouldn't
do it. And and then
		

			that she she ended up not getting on the plane with her whole family. The plane went down. There was
a woman who was adhering to a principle and Allah Subhana Allah rewarded her with that adherence. It
doesn't mean that good people don't die in airplane crashes they do that can happen, but that that's
an example of somebody who adhered to something and a loss of power.
		

			danis showed her that reality and we will find that very often in our lives that when when we when
we adhere to these principles, Allah subhana wa tada will show you will reveal to you the the
blessings of adhering to those principles. And so we shouldn't be fooled by this. Another verse in
the Quran, Allah subhana wa tada reminds us man, I made Asante ham in decadent own there were who
are mcminn on Fernanda yen are hired on by UVA, so that whoever does a good deed, whether a male or
a female, whoever acts righteously, whether they're male men that canonical into well who are more
coming on and then they have belief. In other words, they're doing it because they know that, that
		

			Allah subhana wa tada is watching them is aware of them. Allah subhana wa tada says, falana inhome
hyah Tompa we will cause them to live a life of pure life. In other words, when you act according to
taqwa, when you act according to these principles, Allah subhana wa tada is going to give you a good
life. These are axiomatic truths that Allah subhana wa tada has promised His people. And so another
thing alladhina to a thermal melodica to bikey been that there's people that the angels when they
cause them to die, they These are the people that are bikey been, and these are the people that
Allah subhana wa, Ana will will protect. Another
		

			important aspect of this concept in the Quran of pious is food. And we often don't think about this,
but Allah subhanho data tells us yeah, you have natural Kudo me method or the halaal. And by yeva,
what are the tibial hautbois to ship on?
		

			Each of the good things halonen by yerba these halau things and biopure things. Well, that tiberiu
hautbois to ship on or hotel auto ship on. Don't follow the progress of Shelton. If you want to
understand Iblees it pleases a progressive.
		

			It pleases not a conservative Iblees is always changing the posts, he's always moving them a little
bit further. So now he's telling you that marriage
		

			You know, hear Oh, what's wrong with
		

			intimacy outside of marriage. If it's two people that love each other, they agree on it, and then
		

			move it to the next stage move it to the next stage. what's coming next are things like in Germany,
*. Making permitted in says this is what Chetan does, he takes people progressively he doesn't
take them. Whereas what we're trying to do is conserve the best of the past. We don't want to
conserve the negative aspects of the past. Racism was something in many places in the past it still
exists today. That's not something you want to conserve. But family, you want to conserve family
shaitaan wants to destroy family. Marriage, you want to conserve family, Siobhan wants to destroy
family. And so he takes people by progression. And so Allah subhana wa tada reminds us to eat these
		

			pure things. Hello, Adam by Heba. And this is very important to understand that food can be allowed
but not by you. So for instance, there's a lot of food now that is actually harmful for you. Much of
the chicken that's raised people eat a lot of chicken, if you look how the chickens are raised, if
you look what they're being fed, if you look at the hormones that are being put in them, these
things all affect people. The other thing that if you eat good, then you will do good, it's the
nature it when you eat by your your actions will be higher. If you eat hubby's, your actions will be
heavy, if you eat good, your actions will be good if you foul your actions will be foul. So there's
		

			a direct relationship between the caloric energy that you derive from food and how that caloric
energy is used in your actions. If that caloric energy is derived from halaal and by your sources,
pure and permitted sources, then what you will do will be pure and permitted if it's derived from
Habib and hot um, sources. In other words, prohibited and foul sources. Then what you're going to do
is prohibited and foul This is axiomatic. And so it's very important
		

			to to do this and this is why Allah subhana wa tada says to the messengers, you have rasuluh Kudo
minute by you batty, metal Sati ha, eat from the pure things and do righteous
		

			actions in nibi ma Tamar una le that I am completely aware of what you're doing in soda mineral. So
that's a good example of the direct correlation between what you eat and what you do. And this is to
the messengers. Yeah, you have Russell. Oh you messengers, right Kudo. minify you batty eat from the
pure things what middle side and do good things. In other words it's axiomatic that if you eat pure,
you will do pure if you fall you'll do foul. So food is extremely important to watch what you're
eating is arquilla higher on a Samadhi calm Alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
