			are a people who are in the greatest of need of understanding the greatness of Allah subhanho wa
Taala. And we find around us so many problems that are, that are these toxic problems that are
hurting this ummah, that are destroying this community that are tearing the community apart. Whether
these problems are the problems of backbiting, people who are turning against each other slandering
each other, whether it is the problems of people spreading false rumors about each other, to the
point that they will even spread false rumors about the scholars and their honor, or they will
spread false rumors about the mosques, and the schools and the places that are dedicated to a loss
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:25
			of Hannah Woods Island, where people were spreading rumors and slanders against each other, or
people who are harming each other and cheating each other in business, or people who are spreading
lies about the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and about Islam. All of these defects that we
have in our community, all of these defects that are harming our community, and tearing ourselves
apart without any help, even from our enemies. Rather, we ourselves are the ones tearing ourselves
apart. Where did these defects come from? How do these defects come in emanates from, they come from
the realization that the person has forgotten Allah subhanho wa Taala. And not only have they
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:59
			forgotten a lot as origin, but they've forgotten the greatness of Allah subhana wa Tada. And the
moment you forget the greatness of Allah subhana wa tada is the moment that you stop fearing a law
and revering Allah subhanho wa Taala. When you understand the greatness of a law, you revere him,
and you fear Him. And the moment you stop understanding the greatness of a law is the moment that
you stop fearing him, and you stop reviewing him. And this is why the scholars say we'll call you
environmental light to it, he says coolermaster
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:44
			Billa is that to help and be law, he said, whenever you increase in your knowledge of the law, then
you will also increase in your fear. And in your reverence of Allah subhanaw taala we'll call it an
apple align Cardinal Health and he said in every time your knowledge decreases, or your knowledge
becomes deficient than indeed your fear of a lot as well be decreases and also becomes deficient.
And this is the reality in this dunya that know that no one will enter into Jenna, no one will enter
into paradise, except that they are fearful of Allah subhanho wa Taala. In this world, no one enters
into paradise except that they feared a lot in this world. And unless the pilots die that says In
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:24
			the end, we're living in a home I mean, either you're being born in either bottom beam, or you will
not move. And he said that those who are fearful of the punishment of their Lord, indeed, the
punishment of their Lord is that which they are not safe. So those who feel in this dunya that they
are not safe from the punishment of Allah subhanaw taala They are the ones who are saved from the
punishment of Allah in the next world, and those who feel secure in this world, immune in this world
from the punishment of a law, they are the ones who will be exposed to the punishment of a law in
the next world. And this is why the Prophet Sall Allahu Allah, you send them, his face would begin
		
00:03:24 --> 00:04:06
			to whiten out of his fear of a law, the moment you would see the winds start to blow, or the skies
begin to change because of his fear of the punishment of a loss of an Odile despite his connection
to a lot, despite the revelation coming down to him. So Lola, why do you sell them simply seeing the
skies change or the winds increase would make him some law? Why don't you send them increase in his
fear of a loss of power with Allah fearing that punishment was going to come down and punish him?
And for this reason, Allah subhanho wa Taala throughout the Quran, constantly pushes us to recognize
the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala to recognize the greatness of Allah azza wa jal and for
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:50
			this reason, Allah subhana wa tada sent us a verse in the Quran that is better than all of the
verses in the Quran, a verse that was given greatness over all the other verses in the Quran, the
verse that even Mr. Rude or the Allahu unsaid, Mammon, semi Mammon, Minister, not when an old one so
one of them and is and could see he said that there is nothing that Allah has created no sky nor
Earth, there is no Valley nor nor mountain that a law has created that is greater than a it's an
quotacy, greater than this verse that Allah Subhana Allah has revealed to us. And at the end of the
verse, Allah subhana wa tada ends it by telling us and describing himself and saying, well, who Li
		
00:04:50 --> 00:05:00
			Li You love him that indeed he is allowed allottee the most high end of him the one who is the most
great, the one who is full of greatness and the scholars
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:44
			They spoke about this that a lot of zildjian calls himself LLVM calls himself the greatest and they
mentioned and then a man who is the child of the Mets and holla they said all of your faith is your
ability to feel and to connect to a loss of handle to Allah being allow him that all of faith is
feeling a loss of hundreds either emotionally connecting to a las panatela spiritually connecting to
a mosque and with it being an all in one evangelica morona Allah be talented, smooth, loving
Furukawa and they said because of this, Allah ordered us to constantly repeat his name LLVM while
we're performing our request in our prayer for this mural because of him, so glorified the name of
		
00:05:44 --> 00:06:27
			your Lord allows him and this is why Allah subhana wa tada as well. When he described the person who
is full of arrogance, whom Allah subhanaw taala throws him into the hellfire. He says about him,
that his first blame and his first fault in no Akan la Minami La La him that indeed this was a man
who did not believe in a lot being a lot of him as if Allah subhana wa tada is saying to us, that
the moment you stop recognizing that a lot as Elohim is the moment that you fall into arrogance, and
you fall into sins, and you fall into the Hellfire, and no one can ally me no Bella, he loves him.
He was someone who did not believe that a law was allowed him and who is it? And what does it mean
		
00:06:27 --> 00:07:10
			that Allah subhanaw taala has allowed him and Avi is the one who has gathered all of the great and
the noble attributes altogether. He is the one who has gathered together the greatest attributes of
honor, and the greatest attributes of power, and the greatest attributes of grandeur, that he
gathered together the attributes of glory, and beauty and generosity, that he is the one who has
gathered all of the attributes that the hearts love, and that the hearts are content with Allah
subhanho wa Taala has gathered all of these attributes together and this is why he is allowing him
and as for honey, Rama to light, he said
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:49
			that this attribute of greatness, the attribute of being azeem is something that is only for Allah
subhanho wa Taala. But Allah Subhana, which is sometimes give some of the people a minor form of
alima alima doing alvina he gives them a minor form of greatness in this world. So some people in
this dunya when we see them, we attribute to them a minor form of greatness, a greatness because of
their wealth, or a greatness because of their knowledge, or a greatness because of their their fame
or because of their status or because of their beauty.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:08:30
			And a loss of hanno tireless and he says, and he continues, and he says that no one can be
considered all them. Because none of these people have actually reached true perfection. In those
attributes. Even if we consider someone to be great in this world in terms of his wealth, his wealth
is still defective. Even if we consider someone to be great in terms of their beauty, their beauty
is still defective. No matter how much fame a person has, there's always going to be someone who
never heard of them, there's always going to be someone who doesn't care for them. Even when that
person dies. In a couple of years, there are people who are born who don't know about them and don't
		
00:08:30 --> 00:09:11
			care about them. So no matter the theme that that person has, that theme is defective, no matter. No
matter how much knowledge a person has, they will never have perfect knowledge, their knowledge will
eventually become outdated. No matter how much we speak about the greatness of the scholars of the
past the scholars of history or science or math, their knowledge has probably already become
outdated. No matter how beautiful a person is. They're always there's always someone in some society
in some community who doesn't consider their attributes to really be beautiful. And you have to
understand this because this is that we understand that the great attributes only belong to a last
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:55
			parameter either and that Allah is Alavi him because he is the only one who has reached perfection
in all of his attributes, and that he is the one who is a Rahim and a Rahman, the one who is the
most merciful to the point of perfection. And there are lots of anoeta Allah is L carrying the most
generous to the point of perfection. And then a loss of final it's either isn't it is to the point
of perfection. He is the most honorable of the Almighty to the point of perfection. And this is what
makes a loss of Hannah to Allah and Avi him that he is the only one that reaches the absolute point
of perfection in all of his attributes. Lisa Kenneth Lee, there is nothing similar to a loss of
		
00:09:55 --> 00:09:59
			Hannah with Tyler. He has a lot of him in his hearing. He has been in his car
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:39
			He has an AVI in his knowledge, his knowledge is the greatest and his power is the greatest and his
wisdom is the greatest and his strength is the greatest and his kingdom is the greatest and his
authority is the greatest. And his beauty is the greatest and his mercy is the greatest and his
kindness is the greatest. Every attribute that belongs to a lot of him is the greatest and the
perfect and this is why this name of allah subhana wa tada is a name that guides you to every single
one of the attributes of Allah subhanho wa Taala. When you recognize that a lot is a loving, you're
also recognizing that his mercy is the best when you recognize that a lot isn't all the time you're
		
00:10:39 --> 00:11:08
			also recognizing that his power is the best and the most perfect. When you recognize that Allah is
in our lien. You are recognizing and affirming the perfection of every other one of the names of
Allah subhanho wa Taala and of His attributes, and this is the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and from the greatness of Allah just to think about it, and to increase this greatness of Allah
subhanho wa Taala in your heart that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, What are the
fcbd? Mr. Matt was sabya
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:14
			when orderliness several einzelne kursi illa Kahan cotton femal, McAfee,
		
00:11:15 --> 00:12:00
			McAfee facade. He said that the entire seven heavens and the seven skies, all compared to the throne
of the loss of hanno tada is simply like a ring that is thrown into a desert. Imagine a ring that is
thrown into the desert, it's insignificance compared to the throne of a lot, not even Allah subhanho
wa Taala. And this is all of the seven heavens and we simply live within one of the seven heavens,
the first of which, imagine how small we are and how insignificant we are and how how insignificant
we are compared to a loss of Hannah was either and he is allowed him and Allah and the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, and now he's put see that Allah subhana wa tada says, I'll keep
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:44
			Rio de de de la the Metro is that he he said that pridefulness is my pridefulness is my room will
keep very well Kimberly will although metal izadi. And that lovely. My greatness is my clothing
feminazi I need from a NASA I need to be worried at a minimum after half an hour. He said whoever
competes with me and either of them, then I will throw them into the hellfire. When you truly
understand that a lot is a lot of him that no one has true greatness or excellence or perfection
other than a law, you recognize that there is no one who can compete with a lion any of these
categories. And when you recognize this, then you recognize that there is no other theme other than
		
00:12:44 --> 00:13:10
			a law. And when you recognize that there is no law theme, other than a law, there is no greatness
attributed to anyone other than Allah subhanho wa Taala then it becomes impossible for you to fear
anyone other than a law because you know his greatness and you know his power, and that his
greatness and his power and the perfection of his greatness and his power is the only one that is
worthy of fear.
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:13
			And you will not trust other than Allah
		
00:13:14 --> 00:13:32
			and you will not place your hope in anything other than Allah. And you will begin venerating Allah
and recognizing the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala Ireland every situation. And this is why
some of the stuff used to make dr to a loss of habitat. And that is to say alone in any form as it
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:37
			were inherent any form as into an oak. You would say, oh, a lot.
		
00:13:38 --> 00:13:41
			If you punish me, I will remain hopeful in you.
		
00:13:42 --> 00:14:24
			And if you withhold from me, then I will remain praying to you, being Why does he do this? Because
he understands the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala who else is worthy of our hope other than
Allah azza wa jal, who else is worthy of your why other than Allah subhana wa Tada. And you can only
see this and recognize this, when you recognize and you venerate Allah subhanho wa Taala and realize
that he is of him. And when you do this, then the veneration of everything other than Allah taken
away from your heart, look at one of the greatest scholars in the history of Islam. And that is in
the center, one of the great scholars of Egypt. One day, he confronted the ruler of his time, in a
		
00:14:24 --> 00:14:45
			public parade in front of all of the people. He stood up in front of him and he said to him on a
tube, he said, Oh, are you speaking to him like he is a common man, without referring to him with
any title? He said, Tim, are you He said, Are you the one who was who was ruling Egypt
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:52
			and you have allowed the sale of alcohol and all types of hot item inside this country.
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:59
			And he stood in front of him and he spoke like this in front of all of the people. And the man said
to him, by the way,
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			ICD, an MSI to that.
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:27
			In America mean, to me, he said, I didn't do any of this. Rather, this was in the time of my father,
my father allowed these things I didn't allow them. And so is the knob. Does Sam continue to speak
to him harshly in front of all of the people? And he said to him, and Mina Lavina, all along while
I'm in full court and in no agenda,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:29
			meeting with
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:45
			him, he said, Are you amongst those people whom Allah subhanaw taala refers to in the Quran, that
when they are told to do good, they say, we found our forefathers on the path, and we are on the
path of our forefathers and we are holding on to their path.
		
00:15:46 --> 00:16:31
			And so then, the ruler didn't know what to say. And he agreed in that moment, to shut down those
places of harem in his country. And a man a student came up to his knob, the cinema, he said, How
did you find it in your heart, to stand up in front of this ruler in front of all the people and to
speak to him so harshly in front of all the people when you know that he can easily imprison you,
and you know that he can easily harm you and torture you? And he said to him, hello to our limited
law, he called me he said, I felt the greatness of a law in my heart. And so when I looked upon the
men for ATIA, who can fit he said, I saw him like a small kitten. I recognize the greatness of this
		
00:16:31 --> 00:17:09
			of this ruler, and all of his power was as weak and as feeble as a small kitchen. Why is that of two
arguments in life he called me he said, because I recognized and venerated the greatness of Allah
subhanho wa Taala in my heart, you will lose the fear of the people when you recognize the greatness
of Allah subhana wa tada when you recognize that Allah subhana wa tada truly is a team and the more
you learn about Allah azzawajal and the more you gain knowledge about Allah subhanho wa Taala The
more that you are able to recognize that Allah subhanho wa Taala as a team, and this is why Allah
Subhana Allah says in the Quran, in the mail shalom may not be bad law, that only those who have
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:48
			knowledge of the law are truly able to fear into venerate Allah subhanahu wa eila and this is why no
Holly has sent and spoke to his people when he saw them falling into worshipping other than a law
falling into all types of hold on he said Malecon Lateran and Allahu Akbar hora. What is the matter
with you that you do not recognize the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala your abundant ability to
venerate Allah subhanho wa Taala is attached to how much knowledge you have of Allah subhanho wa
Taala and how do we understand in our lives that Allah is allowed him? How do we connect in our
lives with a loss of Handel's Allah being an Athenian recognize the greatness of a loss of Hannah
		
00:17:48 --> 00:18:27
			with Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala tells you in two verses both of them and sort of tell Hodge he
said that he can want to use them Sha in a law for enam in taqwa lube, he said, Whoever venerates
the symbols of the loss of Hannah with Dinah, than indeed this is from the taqwa of our hearts. And
then Allah says in another verse in the same chapter than a Colombian, you will have them hold on to
law for a woman for a while, you will never want to be that whoever venerates the sanctity of the
rights of Allah, the things that are wrong, that Allah has asked him not to go into that indeed,
this is better for them with their Lord. So Allah subhanho wa Taala has tied together our ability to
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:54
			recognize the greatness of the law with our ability to one worship Allah subhanho wa Taala, to
venerate the symbols of Allah Subhana, WA Tada. And also to venerate the things, the sanctity of the
rights of a law, meaning staying away from everything that is wrong. And look at the live in our
model, rock metal lights out on the last one, when he was going through the desert, and he came by a
man who was hurting some sheep. And he said to him, he said, Are you sure?
		
00:18:55 --> 00:19:11
			He said, which of your sheep would be good to slaughter? So the shepherd said to him on arare, nice
to have one out of bad. He said, its master is not here. The one who owns it is not here. I'm just
the shepherd taking care of it. But the one who owns it is not here. So I cannot sell you any of
these. So I'm delighted we're
		
00:19:12 --> 00:19:51
			playing a little bit with him. He said, and if we were to eat it, and slaughter it and eat it's so
how would your master know about it? If we were to slaughter it, and cook it and eat it? How would
your master know anything about it? And so the man said to him, and turned his head towards the
heavens, and he said to him in a law, so where is a law? It's my master cannot see it and where is a
law? And I'm delighted when a homeowner began to cry, and he began to say over and over for a new
law for a new law for a new law. Where is the law? Where is the law? Ask yourself brothers and
sisters, where is a lot in your life? Where is the loss of Hannah tiarella in the greatness of a lot
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:59
			in your life? Where is the greatness of a lot in all of the decisions that you make in your life?
Are you willing to sacrifice your desires out of your life?
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:38
			Have for loss of high notes are that in your recognition of the greatness of Allah? Are you willing
to delete the things that are in your life sign your computers on your phones that might give you
pleasure but you know distract you away from Allah subhana wa Island take you into how long? Are you
willing to give up and sacrifice all of the pleasures that tear you away from a law? I would have
your recognition of the greatness of a loss of Hannah with either say in a law, where is a law?
Indeed? Where is the law in each of your hearts? Where is a law in all of your lives? Where is the
loss of high? No, it's either in the decisions that you make. Where is the last panel? It's either
		
00:20:38 --> 00:21:06
			when you decide to be friends with these people or not be friends with these people? Where's the
loss of hi Natasha when you decide to come to the masjid or not go to the masjid? Where is the loss
of Hanoi? It's Island all the decisions that you make, then economy you azim Shah it'll law for
enamelled soql kurobe. Whoever venerates the great the symbols of a law than indeed this is from the
consciousness and the taqwa of our hearts, Falco. lokali has stopped for a while you will come
through in the Hall of Fame
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:26
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. What Allah Allah He was a happy woman who
Allah.
		
00:21:30 --> 00:21:32
			Allah subhanaw taala says, as we mentioned,
		
00:21:34 --> 00:22:08
			the economy rather than shy Illa, finance and so called Kuru, we'll call it a Lee Kuan Yew, to LA
for who you will not want to be that whoever venerates the symbols of a law This is from the taqwa
of their hearts, and whoever venerates the sanctity of the rights of a law, then indeed this is
better for them with their Lord. Some of the people in our society, they only follow what is halal.
When you convince them that there is a wisdom behind it to being hunted, or the abstain from what is
haram only when you convince them that there is a wisdom behind it being wrong.
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:55
			So if they if you were to tell them to abandon the drinking of alcohol, for example, they would say
we're only going to abandon it when you convince me that there is a wisdom behind me abandoning it.
And the question that we should have is, are these people truly venerating allow him? Are they truly
following Allah subhanho wa Taala are all the are the only following a lot in relation to how much
they can understand and rationalize what is highlighted and what is how long are they venerating
their own ability to determine what is wise, or are the venerating The one who is allowing him
himself? are they following the orders of the one who is ordering them? Or are they only following
		
00:22:55 --> 00:23:37
			that which they think they can understand the true follower of of him, as Allah subhanaw taala
mentions and shows us in the Quran are those who said, we'll call Lucena alpha who for Ana carabiner
what you like and we'll see you those who say we hear and we obey. And our forgiveness is for we ask
our forgiveness from our Lord and to Him we will return. This is the the attitude of those who
recognize truly the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala that the person follows the orders of
habitat and haraam not on any condition, except the condition that they are convinced that it came
and the authentic hadith or it came in the Quran, so long as they know that this came from Allah and
		
00:23:37 --> 00:24:16
			His Messenger, then they follow it because they recognize the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala
and this is why the scholars say lattanzio de la silla and maaseiah. Well, I can, Allah Almighty,
Allah limits monazite they said, Do not look to the smallness of the sin that you commit, but rather
look to the greatness of the one whom you are sinning against. And this is the attitude of the
companions of the Prophet some along why'd you send them the moments that are law as dogen revealed
the verses making the drinking of alcohol and the acts of gambling haraam? The streets began to run
with alcohol that they were breaking and jumping out of their homes. Why on Who said that? Now what
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:56
			I thought I would throw in a cut up in a way he can we'll see if they heard and they obeyed, and
they sought the forgiveness of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And so we need to be people who are those
who are following Allah subhanho wa Taala and recognizing the greatness of Allah subhanho wa Taala
the problem that we have is that we commit so many different sins, and many of the sins that we do
so panela we would do everything to hide these sins from the people that we know, there are those of
us who would pay literally millions of dollars, all of our money, we would rather be homeless and
destitute than to see our parents know some of the harm that we've done in our lives, that our
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			parents would see the harm that we have done in our lives. Does
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:24
			Allow him doesn't Allah subhana wa tada deserve more of our reverence? Doesn't he deserve more of
our respect? Doesn't he deserve more of our devotion and more of our love? Is the phone I mean
enough when I suffer when I'm in a law well who I'm at home, they conceal from the people but they
do not conceal from Allah and Indeed Allah is with them in the law woman, let alone Allenby Yeah,
you and Nadine am and also Laura Lee. You're sending with snail mail.
