Imagine yourself sitting in a room.
You're at peace. It's quiet.
It's enjoyable. Your heart is completely serene.
And you're lacking only one thing. You lacking companionship. And then as you look up, you see your mother walk into the room. And then you see your father walk into the room.
And then you see your brother and your sister walk into the room and the rest of your family all walk into the room. And all of a sudden there's an atmosphere, and you're all happy together, chatting to each other chirping away.
Hola Arambula is that he will gel has promised those who believe in Him and fear him that he will join their families to them in Jannah Allahu Akbar. Imagine the happiness when you are now joined with the rest of your family in Jannah. Knowing that after today, there is no more suffering. After today there is only bliss and happiness. Adam Alayhi Salatu was Salam was lonely in Jannah. So Allah Allah Bula is that he will gel Allah gave him Hawa to give him companionship. And we will be joined with our families in Jana. If we fear Allah horrible is that he will Jellal while Levina him and what DevOps whom voted me to
be Iman in Hong Kong, been good to me at home.
Me Nunnally him, Cherie, and those who believe in Allah horrible results, you will Jellal they will be joined with their families and with and their children follow after them, they will be joined by the children, we will join the children to them. And how can I be him will be at home, Alma Allatheena, whom in Amelie Himanshi, and we did not remove any of the good deeds that they have done, they will receive the full reward of everything that they have done, Allahu Akbar, imagine the happiness in your heart bumbling with joy. Now, I'd like to take you back to back to the dunya. And imagine the problem that you are going through right now, that may actually be the reason for your
entry into Jannah. And when you look at it backwards, from the perspective of the Akira, and from Jana, and think about your feelings there, then these problems in this world become very minut. They become very small for you. Why? Because you know that that is everlasting. And this is temporary, this is temporary. You see, when we lose a bit of money, or we lose a bit of wealth, or perhaps we have lost a limb, or we have been diagnosed with cancer or the doctors told us that we're going blind, immediately our minds and hearts begin to race. And we think about who has done this to me what has happened to me what's going to happen in the future? How am I going to live without sight?
How am I going to live with this cancer? It's killing me I'm dying when we all die. And the reality is, that when you think about this, the first thought that should come to your mind is none other than the one who will remove that hardship from you. And levena either saw that masiva oh you in
when
you lay your own, those whom when a calamity afflict them, then they say we belong to Allah horrible is that he will Joanne and to Him we shall return our entire lives belong to Allah subhanahu wa taala. So don't allow your thoughts to take you far away. Don't allow your thoughts to think about your aunt who has some ill feeling towards you and your cousin who perhaps did something to you. Perhaps she looked at you in an evil way. No, think about the fact that this is from Allah bullies that you will Jellal as soon as that calamity strikes, think about Allah subhanho wa Taala turned to him, ask him beg him to remove that calamity from you and don't point fingers. You see, one of the
greatest jobs of shaytan is to cause this unity in the onma is to cause this unity in the ummah. So he will
We'll come to you and say, you know, perhaps it was her, she said something bad about you the other day. So maybe she did it to you. Maybe you need to go and do something back in return, don't allow these thoughts to even enter into your mind rather immediately turn to Allah horrible is that he will Jalon some of us please shape on on a pedestal. And by having these thoughts and allowing them to fester, what we are doing is raising him above his actual level. So Allah who is that he will Jellal is the creator of Shepherd and Shavon is in his control. So we should never assume that he is an adversary at par with Allah who believes that you will Gela Yes, he is an adversary. Yes, he is
an enemy to Allah subhanho wa Taala the sworn enemy of mankind as well, but that doesn't make him similar or the same as Allah Allah bool is that you will Jellal by giving that evil importance, what we do is we are giving Chapin importance one Hadith tells us that when we mentioned che planned, he actually becomes as big as a house. He becomes big and he says, You see, he mentioned me, he took my name, but rather say are all new bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim. Seek the protection of Allah subhanho wa Taala and say, I seek refuge in Allah Allah Boulez, he will JELA from Shaytaan, The Accursed and he runs away as fast as he can. Why? Because you have sought refuge in the most
powerful being to ever exist. Now. With regards to the word see, magic, it has an origin. And if we look at the the meaning of this word, Sahar is how we know of a word that we use regularly, and that is so whole, and all of us know what this means. It's the meal that we partake of, before the fragile, Salah before the dawn, in order to commence our fast so just before we commence our fast we partake of this meal. And this word
is used for magic, because at that time, while the fasting people are partaking of the meal, there are some people who are engaged in the dark arts, busy tying up hair and blowing knots into them, busy denigrating and desecrating the Quran, throwing it down, urinating upon it in order to achieve the evil goals. May Allah subhana wa Tala protect us. So at that time, there is also something else happening. An act of worship that people engage in when Allah horrible is that he will Jellal he comes down to the lowest heaven, he comes down to the heaven of the dunya and he calls out they are people connecting with Allah Allah is that he will jellen So within the darkness as all of these
people are practicing their dark arts, there is a beacon of light going from your tahajjud from your circle, Allah subhanahu Attallah hears you, Allah subhanahu Attallah sees you and that is one of the most powerful ways that you can use to protect yourself from magic. Wake up 10 minutes before 10 minutes before celestial fragile, and while they are practicing the dark arts you are obeying Allah herbalists that he will Jellal imagine what place that holds was Allah subhanahu Attallah you see that darkness that is mentioned? Allah subhanho wa Taala says so beautifully.
Don't be around Bill Fela Peameal shadowy Mahakala say I seek refuge in the lord of what? In the Lord of the dawn the spirit of the horizon when the light decimates the darkness when the light splits the darkness. Why did Allah humble is that he will Jellal use that word around Boone falak The Lord of the split that happens that opens the daybreak. Why, if you are engaged in a bad during the darkness, the Lord of the horizon will split all of your problems, all of the darkness that will come that is in your life will be split and completely removed from your life. And it is amazing that Allah subhanho wa Taala uses this surah and he explains to us in this manner, how he splits the
darkness. Hence we say we'll be a bit fed up and pull out a little bit of bitterness there.
They are the two protectors. Because when you understand what you are reciting, when you read them, then it is enough for you. You know, I've sought refuge in the one the only the most powerful the almighty nobody, and nothing can do anything if he's protecting me.
At the time of Sulaiman, Allah, His Salatu was Salam o just before, the people were engaged in magic, and they used to practice it, it was common for them to do so. And as they practiced it, they would actually get to a point where they became so accustomed to it, that they began to write down their thoughts. They began to write down their thoughts in books. And when Sulaiman Alayhi Salatu was Salam came, he got hold of these books, took them and buried them under his throne. And any devil that wanted to come close to the throne was burned, but completely, they couldn't come close to the throne at all. And they feared Sulaiman Alayhi Salatu was Salam. So they would not even come
close to the throne, out of fear of what would happen to them. He had the gene under his control, he would tell the wings to move and it would move by the permission of Allah subhanho wa taala. So when Sulayman alayhi salatu salam passed on, then the devil came to the people. And he said that, do you know how soon a man controlled you? Do you know how Sulaiman had all this power? And he could command the wind to move and it would move, he would talk to the birds, he understood the language of the ants, etc. Do you know how all of that happened?
That was because he had some books that he would use to practice magic. So he took the people to the throne. And because he knew that Sulaiman has decreed or made a DUA, for any Jin, who comes close to the throne to be burned. He said, I'm standing here you go, you go in, you dig there, you will find these books. So the people went and they dug, and they found the books buried under the throne of Sulaiman. Alayhi Salatu was Salam. And they then began to teach the people magic, and they practiced it once again. So it became common and knowledge amongst them that Sulaiman used to practice magic. And that's a that is how he got this power. You see how the devil actually changed the narrative.
This is the job of the devil. This is what he does. So the people began to practice magic and they blaspheme Suleiman Alayhi salaatu wa salaam by saying he to practice magic and Allah who is that you will gel Allah says, What Turbomeca tetamu Shayateen why Allah Mulki sunnah EMA and warmer Kefalas hula Iman wala King Sharia three microphone. You are only Munna nurses, and they follow that which the devil is recited upon them upon the throne of Sulayman Allah you salatu salam, and Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved in Allah, Allah Boulez, that you will gel and so this was cleared by the Quran, that Sulaiman was not a magician, but Sulaiman had powers invested or vested
in him by Allah Hara Boulez that you will gel now, today, they are people still looking for those books, they still want to get their hands on to them, and practice the dark art that happened at the time. And this is known as black magic. But as we spoke, and as we said, this magic existed before Sulaiman, Allah, His Salatu was Salam. So it was not introduced by Suleiman. In fact, he tried to get rid of it by burying it. But the people took it out and they practiced. So this black magic, a lot of people attribute it to Sulaiman. Allah, His Salatu was Salam, but he did not practice it, he did not do it. And I'd like to draw our attention to something here. Often times we assume that
there is good and bad magic. There is nothing like good magic on Earth. There is nothing like good magic on Earth. So Harry Potter is a book that many of us read, and I know it brings about a lot of smiles because we've read it, right. But I want to draw your attention to one thing. You see when as you read that book, what is the narrative? Harry was affected by magic by this evil creature known as Voldemort. And Voldemort was evil and dark and Harry was good. So the spells that Harry
cast, we're good. And the spell that Voldemort cast well evil, automatically your mind is rooting for the better person who is the better person according to the author, Harry, when they in the sight of Allah horrible is that he will general are the same. They are both the same, both evil, both corrupted by magic. So there is nothing good about magic. And then what do we do? We tell our children read these books, it's okay. It doesn't matter. It's just folklore. You know what happens? You are actually allowing some of the devils to enter into the lives through these books. Let's call them Horcruxes. For those who know,
someone who will say how do you know this? Maybe you read the book NG? Allahu Akbar vida. No, I tell you, I read the book. When I read the books when I was a child. I read the books when I was very young. And I also was rooting for Harry, anybody who read the books understands. In fact, as I was reading, it was as though I was under a spell. I remember that I used to read in the Blyton, and then Harry Potter and all these Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew and what have you all these books? I used to read these books, but I could read 1015 20 pages, you know, 30 pages at most, and then I'd get tired, put the book down and then carry on later. But with Harry Potter, it was as though I was
bewitched. Allahu Akbar, I will tell you that as I began to read, I made sure I carried on and continued to read the book until I finished it. Only they were bathroom breaks in between. There were Salah breaks in between. That was all that was all. As soon as I'm done, the mind is there. It is as though you are bewitched. And I want to tell you something that perhaps you didn't know about. I remember clearly reading I was Googling it and trying to find whether it is a reality or not. But I remember clearly reading in an article that JK Rowling, the author of this book, released the book one of the books in a cave in Scotland, at midnight. What is that? What is that, that is a ritual
that she's practicing, call it what you make, it is a ritual that she is practicing. So these books are not as innocent as we think they are. And if you really must, and you feel like you want to then at least teach your children what is right and what is wrong. Tell them that magic is all black. There is nothing like good and bad magic. And when they know the truth and they know that a hadith before they know the book and they know the ayat about Sahara and magic, perhaps when they reach a certain age, it is okay for you to allow them to read these books have to shell rally over pee on the lamea artificial Riah coffee. And even then you tell them that I want you to know evil from here
and what it looks like so that you can protect yourself from it. And the one who doesn't know evil doesn't know how to protect himself from it. So there is a reason why you are reading this book and why we are allowing you to read it. So at a young age, don't allow them to read these books, it is not beneficial for them, it will not benefit them in the dunya or in the era at all. In fact, it will most likely be detrimental to them. You know today you have shops, entire shops, where you can go and buy a cloak and a wand and look like Harry Wallah, he this is all part of the ritual. This is all part of the ritual. It is much deeper than we think one of the other things that I remember
about the author is she reached a point in her books, where she could not continue any longer. It was too much for her to take. And when they asked her why she said I feel dark. I feel like it is and I'm paraphrasing here, so I feel dark. I feel like it's too much for me to write it's too heavy. What is that? As Muslims we know what that is. We know what that is. Those are the forces of darkness from Satan himself. May Allah subhanahu Attallah protect us I mean, then we have what is known as the evil eye. And with regards to the evil eye, it is important to remember that whenever you see something of bounty, something beautiful, something that astounds you immediately say
Allahumma barik Oh Allah bless this person. Bless this thing. Why? Because when you see your brother wearing a beard
to full code, and now you're watching it and think, Wow, it's amazing. You may not even be aware of the effects that your eyes have on that person, you may not even be aware of the feelings within your heart. So I'll give you an example. There was a bride in Saudi Arabia. And she went into the wedding hall. And as she went into the wedding hall, she became blind. So the people thought that perhaps this is design, this is the evil line. So they got someone to get some water, and every single person they will take a sip, and then she will drink from it. And this is one of the cures if you know that this is the person that I suspect you can actually get people to that person to drink
from the water and then you and then you drink from it as well. Don't now go to people and say, Hey, you, I think you will die in on me. I think you were looking at my code too much the other day. So don't Don't Don't Don't do that. But invite them home, they drink some water offer them something, they eat something eat from that or drink from that and inshallah you will get killed. If there is something it will go. So this girl drank from the glass and nothing happened. She remained blind. And Wallah, he some years continued. Her marriage happened she lived. Some years continued and passed. And after some years, her mother passed away, and from the moment her mother passed away,
her eyesight came back. Allahu Akbar. The only person in the room not to drink from that cup was her mother because they never thought that she would ever put the evil eye on her daughter. This is a daughter a piece of her How can she ever want evil for her? But she was not even aware most likely of the fact that I've given her the evil eye. Imagine what a mother feels for her daughter that that mercy but it was possible for it to happen way she been influenced as a person. Sometimes we are not even aware in the shape on HGTV. If we meet Adam Majora them Shavon runs in the son of Adam the running of blood. So he's whispering he's influencing he's saying things he's doing things all the
time. We have a Korean a devil with us. When it gets the better of us. Only Allah subhanho wa Taala knows. So always say Masha Allah La Quwata illa biLlah Allahumma barik O Allah bless this person. Remember Allah has in some way shape or form. Why? Because that removes the influence of the devil from your thoughts from your mind from your eye. And now you wish the person goodness but if you want to follow the Sunnah, then say Allahumma barik Oh Allah bless this person or Baraka, Allah, who fic May Allah bless you. This is something that we should be doing at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam a companion known as
a companion known as annual Nora via He was passing by another companion bathing, and this companion was based bathing, his name was salad, no honey. Now as Alan is passed by him, he looked at his skin and he says, Well Allah, you have the most amazing skin. You have beautiful skin, and immediately Sal falls down unconscious. So they carry him to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says meditator he Munna Burman teta. He Mona be He? Who is it that you are pointing a finger blaming with regards to Sal. And they said we think it is Ahmed. So he says call Anil and it comes in. He says Allah tool had to come Sahiba Why would one of you want
to kill his brother? Why would one of you want to kill his brother? These are the wordings of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam new eye in your eye is dangerous. That is why we say remember Allah subhanho wa taala. So he then told son, he then told the armor in fact, that take this water bathe in it. And the leftover off it. He gave it to Sal said take a few sips and then bathe in it as well. And as soon as he did, as soon as he did say * got up and he walked away like nothing was wrong with him. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. So this is a true story at the time of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. In fact, at one point he told me that when you see something of
goodness bounty from your brother fell yet do Bill Baraka then let him make you should make a dua of baraka for him, and this will actually expel all
dispel whatever evil is there. Now, the last and most important thing that I'd like to discuss today is the aspect of how to protect oneself. How do you protect yourself from the jinn from evil eye from black magic from jinn possession as well. The most important thing that we need to remember is a Salah, our salah, if you are not performing your Salah, that which Allah subhanahu wa taala wants you to do five times a day, that which some scholars believe if you don't offer it takes you out of the fold of Islam, then how do you then expect to have the protection of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. You see, sometimes people come to us and I specifically remember a sister in London who came to me
after an event and said she, I have problems, mental problems, perhaps there is a gene that has affected me, perhaps there is something I have all these issues. What do I do? And the first question I asked her, do you perform your Salah regularly
you know sometimes I perform all five sometimes I performed three Salawat sometimes I only perform one how do you then expect the help of Allah subhanahu Attallah to come? How do you then expect the help of Allah subhanho wa Taala to be with you? How do you expect to raise your hands up to Allah Allah Buddha is that you will Jellal call out to Him and He will respond to you yet you don't do the bare minimum that he has asked you to do. Man so Allah subhanaw taala who will feed him Matilda? Allah subhanahu Attallah says or a pseudo Lhasa Salam says that the one who performs the federal Salah he is in the protection of Allah subhanahu wa Tada you don't even wake up for Fajr Salah but
you want that protection from Allah Hara bull is that you Angela. So the first and most important thing is your Salah, and when your salah is in order, then you will find yourself selling much less because Allah subhanahu Attallah tells us in NA salata tell him her annual fascia, so Allah protects from immorality when Moon corrupt and evil. So a person finds himself very far away from immorality, he can't easily engage in that which is immoral. You see, immorality in and of itself, Zina specifically has a very creates a very big door for the gene to enter from, because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says lay his knees Danny he may is the one who I mean, a believer who a
person who is committing Zina does not commit Zina except what why? He is a believer. What happens your Eman literally floats above your head while you are engaged in the ACT until you end off and then your iman enters back into the body, Allah Akbar. So at that juncture, while your iman is gone, and it is far away from you, do you think do you think that it is hard for the jinn to enter you? You are doing something displeasing to Allah subhanahu Attallah. So obviously, the protection of Allah subhanahu Attallah is not with you. And you have literally asked for that protection to be removed and the Djinn have an opportunity to enter into you. So the most important thing for that is
to ensure that your Salah is correct, and you will keep away from that immorality, it will automatically move far away from you. And when when you do something wrong, immediately turn back to Allah Arambula is that you will Gela regardless, regardless of the sin, no matter what it is, turn back to Allah subhanahu Attallah Allah is more merciful to you than your mother is to you. Allah is more merciful to you than you are to yourself. Have you been merciful enough to yourself, you wouldn't have engaged in that sin in the first place because of the lack of knowledge because of not knowing the consequences of your actions in the era you engaged in it. So Allah subhanho wa Taala is
more merciful to turn to him immediately when levena EDITH
Aisha Malala
for some local Allah Hafiz Delta only loopy him and those who have committed immorality Zina, Allah subhanahu wa taala makes it clear that when those who commit Zina some of them have this quality of immediately turning back to
Allah subhanho wa Taala they remember the one whom they have disobeyed and they turned back to him and begging him for forgiveness. What does that do that shorten that window in which the devil can enter? It shortens that window I've made a mistake area Allah, but I turned back to you I seek your forgiveness and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, He forgives all of the sins. So turn back to Allah subhanho wa Taala quickly, as soon as you sin 10 back to Allah subhanahu wa taala remember Him, ask Him for His forgiveness, which one of us can claim that we are free of sin. So turn back to Allah Arambula says that you will Gela so even the
fastness or the quickness of your Toba the pace at which you turn back to Allah Allah will is that you will learn it influences whether the Chapin has influence over you or not. Now, the second thing that we need to remember is that you see many of us we are engaged in certain things that are actually displeasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. And one of them that I'd like to mention, is this idea of changing the creation of Allah or Bullis that you will Jalon you see, Chapin mentioned this specifically, in one of his arguments in one of his statements, while ordain women in one valuable thing.
Then and
one more run further you will yield
more and I will command them and I will give them false hopes so they will then slip the ears of the beast and place them on to the next and they will change the creation of Allah subhanahu Attallah Today we have something known as makeup and men and women use this makeup to change the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala not only that, we have what is known as plastic surgery as well. We have lip fillers, and I feel is and all sorts of fillers some of them I can't even say here today. And these year actually open up a door for the devil. Why? Because he says well
so I will command them follow you. Allah so they will change the creation of Allah subhana wa Tada when you change the creation of Allah horrible is that you will Gela simply to look a bit more presentable to mankind you have compromised your relationship with Allah subhanho wa taala, then that is a dangerous opening because you are literally obeying the devil and disobeying Allah subhanho wa taala. And I say it because it has become extreme. It has become extreme, pretty people good looking people now filling up the loose lips to literally engage in a trend that will pass within a year or two or three. They fill up the ellipse and they fill up the eyes and they fill up
their faces and they do whatever they need to do with all of these things. You are actually becoming subservient to the devil himself. Allahu Akbar. I know many of us don't like to hear this. I know many of us say no, it's just because of my insecurities, etc. Mantella cache and live in a world of Hula, hula, hula Minwoo, the one who leaves something for Allah, Allah who will give him better. Do you think that Allah subhanahu Attallah will discard you take off that and go out there and face the people proud to stand before them? Because Allah gave me this face. And Allah subhanahu Attallah will remove those insecurities, Allah subhanahu Attallah will lift that anxiety that you feel Allah
subhanahu Attallah will help you become proud. Allah subhanahu Attallah will instill pride of the creation of Allah subhanho wa Taala within your heart so you will be a proud believer and Ambassador of Allah subhanho wa Taala that is what we should be encouraging. You know, sometimes I actually see people you know nowadays you can't even say sisters or brothers you need to say people anyways so and it's true even the brothers do it or not, you know some brothers actually do it as well. So people basically have nails so long. Allah He I think that these are weapons on their hands. You know, I think this person can easily just slit someone's throat with this. May Allah subhanho wa
Taala protect
Does the other question that comes to mind? And
the other question that comes to mind is does this person make a stranger Allahu Akbar? What happens when you go to the toilet? Do you take them off? I'd like to see, I want to know do you take them off and put them away or what goes on there? Allah Allahu Akbar, may Allah subhanahu wa to Allah protect us. We can laugh about these issues, but they are serious. They are serious Brothers and Sisters in Islam. These are trends that come from a people that are not Muslim. These are trends that they instilled, these are trends that they have sent us down a lizard hole with regards to so think about what you are doing and what you are engaged in. Now, the last and most important thing
is to recite is when corsi recite AYATUL kursi early in the morning, and in the evening, and before you go to sleep, and I say I will call C. And the more we the 10 Seurat will Fela and Surah. To nurse because many of us do actually recite our ADKAR. But how we recite them is just in passing quickly. As we are moving from one place to another Allah Allah Allah Allah what * no know. sit and think about the meaning think about what you are saying How you are saying it, and what you are actually declaring before Allah subhanahu Attallah whom you are seeking refuge in by saying this and take just five minutes of your time to recite it with presence and the impact will be much greater
than if you had to recite for an hour without Presence. May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect us from these evil forces. And may Allah horrible is that you will grant us the ability to practice upon the goodness that has been shared. Amin wa sallahu wa Salam o Baraka ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi Ultramarine
