attend Bala will call it out and for now.
		
00:01:52 --> 00:02:39
			Brothers and Sisters in Islam today are hooked BA is about submission to Allah subhanho wa taala.
And this is the season of submission and the journey of Hajj and just about every action in Hajj is
linked to submission to Allah subhanho wa taala. If you think about why do we perform the tawaf
seven times in particular, and why is it done counterclockwise? Not clockwise? And why is it we
follow? We go up the mountains of Safa and Marwa we understand we're following the footsteps of her
daughter, but how does it benefit me to follow her footsteps? Why do we throw the Jamaat and we
understand that Allah subhanaw taala remove sins a major sin with every genre, but why didn't Allah
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			subhanaw taala make it in any other way to remove this sin?
		
00:02:44 --> 00:03:31
			If you look at the journey of Hajj, it began with complete submission to Allah subhanho wa Taala
Ibraheem Alehissalaam he was commanded to put his wife and his newborn son in the middle of a
desert, no trees, no water, no Well, no one else living around them. And what's amazing is that he
didn't settle with them for three days and get them settled and build the home or some kind of
shelter for them and help them find Oh no, the story began to ask him to whom are you leaving us
here? And then she asked him, Allah Who America is it Allah Azza wa sallam, he is now over 80 years
old, and yet he never lost hope in longing for a child.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:04:20
			So he called out to Allah subhanaw taala Rob be happily minister and in my Lord. He said he's asking
for a righteous offspring. Ferber Sharna who Biloela Amin Haleem so we gave him Glad Tidings God
tidings of a forbearing child. Ibrahim Ali Salam being the Helene of Allah azza wa jal, and then
hula is a degree of love that is higher than just hope. And it is a degree so high that there's only
room for one Halal in your heart. So Ibrahim Ali salam after this age, having a son, he loved him so
much. And Allah subhanaw taala was going to test him to see if Allah subhanaw taala is his halal or
Allah subhanaw taala is the only one at that high level.
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:59
			So Allah azza wa jal says villum Bella Mara, who say so when he grew up, and he's able to walk along
with him, and that's more profound because at this point, you get to see your child and their
personality, you get to see some of you in him. So even it is a time when you would be more attached
to the child than just in infancy, perhaps philam Baba bellava who say so when he was able to walk
with them, or even assist him, Carla? Yeah Boonie in the autofill Miami as the hook he said, Oh my
son I see
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:19
			In my dream that I am sacrificing you or I'm slaughtering you, fun Dora Maga Torah. So he says, and
so what do you see? So he Ibrahim Ali Salam now is involving his son in this process even though he
was commanded and he wasn't commanded to involve him.
		
00:05:21 --> 00:06:08
			But if Alma took more he said, Oh my father, do what you're commanded, said you do need insha Allah
Who Mina Savarin and in sha Allah you will find me from those who are patient. Then Allah azza wa
jal says Fela ma s Lemma and when they both submitted and Qatada the officer of the Quran, Rahim
Allah. He says As Salam ohada NAFSA Hulan Allah, what Islam ohada Ebola, he said one of them,
meaning Ismail Ali Salam, he submitted and gave his soul his self to Allah azza wa jal, and the
other meaning Ibrahim Ali Salam he submitted and He gave His Son to Allah subhanaw taala with Allah
Julio Jabeen. So he put him down for slaughter, it came down to the last moment, and he turned his
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:15
			head downward so as not to hesitate and not to see the expression of pain on the face of his child.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:45
			So and he actually began to cut complete and utter submission to Allah subhanaw taala. When are they
now who a year Ibrahim God sub Dr. Roja, and we called out to him Oh, Ibrahim, you have fulfilled a
row here you have fulfilled the true dream from Allah the command from Allah Subhana Allah offer
they now who believe in Alvin and we replaced him with a great sacrifice in his place.
		
00:06:46 --> 00:07:06
			This is the meaning of Islam. It is an est Islam it is to submit to Allah subhanaw taala to submit
to His commands to submit to the Sunnah of His Messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam to the decrees of
Allah subhanaw taala in all of the affairs, not just in some of the affairs
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:18
			and we see this in the lives of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then
when it comes to the Sunnah, in particular, it is where a lot of Muslims today falter.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:08:10
			Allah azza wa jal in the Quran in surah nisa swears by himself and Allah subhanaw taala only swears
by something great and nothing is greater than Allah azza wa jal he's swearing by himself, fella
we're a bigger no by your Lord. Law you may known had you had chemo cathedra shedule Rabina home so
Mala Ji Doofy unfussy him how Raja mimma colloid where you sell limitless Lima, Allah Subhana Allah
swears by himself that they do not fully believe let me know what you heard chemo coffee messenger
Robaina home until they make you judge in whatever affairs arise amongst them. And then the find no
resistance in their heart to your judgment. The Mullah Judogi unfussy him how Raja min Mercado it
		
00:08:10 --> 00:08:54
			they have no resistance to the judgment that you've made, where you send limiter sliema. And they
submit in an all totality completely submit, that is a true believer, and this is how the companions
of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam work when Allah azza wa jal forbade wine the consumption
of wine and ask them for help and to moonta home. Are you going to desist or murder? Allahu Anhu
said the entertainer entertainer, he entered the verse he said we have stopped with the system with
the system completely stopped and they broke and they spilled it into the roads that they broke the
containers of one and spilled it until it ran in the streets of Medina.
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:38
			But what is amazing and assorted Allahu Anhu said for masa aloo Unha warmer Raja Aha. He said they
never asked about this idea. And they never went back to this issue of it. Yeah. And he they never
came back into the Rasul Allah. Is there a not trying to see if there is room if there is a gap if
there is a possibility for another drink? Or is it haram for good or just something temporary? They
never came and asked for more details about the ayat. This is how they work. A command comes from
Allah azza wa jal, and that's it. They don't try to seek a fatwa or anything else. One of the most
amazing descriptions of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:46
			is that the scholar said not once did a Nabi SallAllahu Sallam forbid them from something
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:59
			and they then would ask, what kind of Haram is this? Yeah, now once the problem say don't do this,
and they will say Ya rasool Allah don't do it. Yeah, on a macro or don't do it haram haram never
once
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:08
			To the porcelain forbid something in this era Salah is it forbidden completely, or just you know
forbidden but we shouldn't do it. They never ever did that.
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:26
			Unlike people today always is it McCraw Evans McCoy it means it's okay. Whereas the scholars said
the constant falling into the mcru will eventually lead to the Haram isn't enough for the believer.
This is something disliked or even hated by Allah subhanaw taala is not enough for a believer.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:11:13
			Eat and this is not just the men but even the women when Allah subhanaw taala revealed well Leo
Grebner, the hamari hinda allergy will begin that they will take the hormone product which is the
plural of MMR which is the covering of the head and they will use it to cover their bosom that the
Dube is the bosom. So that means they're taking this over here and bringing it to cover this area.
They immediately began to rip and tear from garments to make this covering immediately. They
immediately submitted today, what is hijab? Today, I'm not ready for hijab, it's a personal choice.
It's not a personal choice. You can make your own personal decision when you're going to put it on
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:57
			but there is no choice in Islam about hijab. There is no choice about fasting Ramadan, there is no
choice in praying five times a day. You can make a decision to pray five times a day or you make a
decision to not pray, but there's no choice in the matter. And Allah Subhana Allah tells us in the
Quran, well Makana limit, meaning one minute in and it is not for a believing man nor a believing
woman, either called Allahu wa rasuluh Imran if Allah and His Messenger decree or make a decision.
And the ayah shows Allah subhanaw taala decrees and decides things and the process of them also
makes decisions either koggala What also Omran a year Cornella human fear Ottoman Emery him that
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			they will have any choice in the matter.
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:14
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam and his companions. When the Qibla was changed, they changed it in
salah they moved in Salah instantly, no questions, no resistance.
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:58
			When the Prophet sallallahu sallam was leading the Salah, then Gibreel alayhi salam came and
informed him that he had stepped on some type of impurity. So and maybe SallAllahu wasallam removed
his shoes in the Salah. The Companions immediately removed their shoes in the Salah. They didn't
later on or maybe it's just him or maybe it's bothering it. The old remove the shoes in Salah. They
had this attitude of immediately wanting to obey immediately immediately submitting to Allah azza wa
jal His Messenger Salallahu Alaihe Salam so when a Nabi SallAllahu sallam was done with his salah,
he said Muhammad Allah Quran, Allah Iluka in Alikum what made you remove your shoes? Curlew Raina
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:35
			Raina aka al Qaeda and alake for alpine in Atlanta, they said they said we saw you take off your
shoes. So we took off our shoes, this is in Santa Ana Buddha would immediately immediately they
followed and this was their, their attitude to just instantly follow the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wasallam one time and Nabi sallallahu alayhi salam saw a man wearing a gold ring on his finger. So
he tells him Yeah, I'm gonna do a huddle come, Elijah, Marathi manera janela v. So one of you would
take a burning coal burning ember and put it on his hand.
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:47
			So the porcelain removed it from his hand. The man then left it there. So they tell him take it and
you can take it and sell it, give it to your wife use the money.
		
00:13:48 --> 00:14:14
			But he said lo Allah, so Allah who won't do that law, who the WHO burden, a burden with Katara who
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam he said, Well, Allah, I'll never take it again. After the Prophet Selim
removed it, and porcelain throws something off my hand and I'm going to pick it up again, even
though would have been completely valid for him, but this is the level to which they obeyed the
Prophet sallallahu sallam, the level to which through which they showed submission
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:58
			and submission is part of obedience to Allah azza wa jal incident of Buddhahood and Nabi SallAllahu
Sallam led the Salah, and when the Salah was over, he said he Lu, he said, he said, everyone sit
down, sit. Some companions were still inside the masjid, somewhere outside the masjid already, and
some were halfway they had one foot out the door and one foot still inside the masjid, and from that
group was ignoramus. When the Prophet Salam said, Sit, everyone sat where they were, ignorance Rudra
Allah who sat in the doorway, because the Prophet sallallahu sallam said said, they sat down
immediately. He could have just stepped back and nobody would have faulted him. But he sat down
		
00:14:58 --> 00:15:00
			immediately and the
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:02
			Absalom saw that and he called him to him
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:39
			guadagno Malik Robbie Allahu Anhu. He, he had loaned some money to Abdullah have never heard of
that. And he didn't give him his money back. So he saw him in the masjid. And he started asking for
his money back and their voices were raised. And the Prophet SAW Salem His room is right there at
the masjid. So he heard their voices raised, he removed the curtain. He moved the curtain to the
side. He said, Yeah, come, because he heard God wants his money back from Abdullah Dylon. He said
Jakob, and he said the baker, rasool Allah
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:08
			is here and obey at your service elsewhere, Allah, He said, Bob shutaura Dainik. And he signaled
with his hand, he said, Just give him leave half of it, forgive him for half of the debt. He
immediately said, but felt, even though a few seconds ago, the voices were raised, it means they
were starting to get into it. But the President says leave half of your forgive half the debt, he
says, but fast immediately, I have done it, I've done so.
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			And then he tells,
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:18
			it may be hard to draw the law. I know he tells him come faculty, he says get up and then pay the
rest of the debt.
		
00:16:20 --> 00:16:58
			That was it. The whole point is submission. praying five times a day submission, the timings and
obeying the five timings is submission fasting is submissions that occur is submission hatches from
beginning to end submission to Allah subhanaw taala and that is what Allah subhanaw taala required
of us Inshallah, in the second hotbar we will look at how Allah azza wa jal describes the submission
of the hypocrites Akula COLA that was tougher Allah Allah the Malik Lea welcome when Jimmy are going
to first off row feroza luciferin ask Allah Subhana Allah first forgiveness indeed those who ask for
his forgiveness shall prosper.
		
00:17:12 --> 00:17:19
			hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Hello. I mean, what Allah early he was a
big marine Amma
		
00:17:21 --> 00:17:49
			in Surah Noor from verses 48 onwards. Allah subhanaw taala describes the hypocrites and their lack
of submission to Allah azza wa jal and obedience to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and
it's for the believing men and woman, when they hear these verses, to make sure they're like the
examples of the companions that we mentioned and not anywhere similar to the hypocrites, Allah azza
wa jal says,
		
00:17:50 --> 00:18:43
			we either do Illa Allah He was to Li Lea Kuma Boehner whom and when they the hypocrites are called
to Allah and His Messenger, Leah Houma, Huma, singular not Lea Kuma, plural for the messenger to
judge amongst them. Either for your coming home more or you don't a group of them turn away. They
don't want the judgment of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam where iya Kula whom will help ya to La
he moved in in Nemo codeine was serene, but if the right is with them, the come rushing to the
prophets of Allah Salam. So in other words, the hypocrite, when they wronged someone, that person
says, Let's go to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam to judge between us. They refuse. But when they know
		
00:18:43 --> 00:19:25
			they're in the right, and the other person's in the wrong, they know that they're going to win. Now
here they come in submission, they come rushing to the prophets, Allah salam for judgment.
Unfortunately, many Muslims behave this way. Today, we see this in all aspects of life. Do you want
Islam when it's gonna take something from you, someone else's rights and give it to them? We see
this so many times in divorce and in custody and marital cases where Islam will give a husband
certain rights, but the law of the land doesn't give him these rights. So in this case, the woman
wants to be judged by the law of the land. She doesn't want Islam because it's going to take some
		
00:19:25 --> 00:19:36
			right away from her. Whereas Islam, if Islam is going to secure a right from her, she will
immediately want the judgment of Allah and His Messenger, just as an example. But this is exactly
what the hypocrites used to do.
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:54
			I don't want Islam if it's going to take the rights of someone away from me. I need they have the
right and I'm oppressing them and Islam will secure their right I don't want Islam here. But if
Islam is going to secure my right of mine, suddenly I'm quoting a hadith and ayat.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			Why would they behave like this? In the next verse, Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:20
			tells you what kind of person would behave like this vehicle over him modern America taboo, is their
disease in their heart. These are the options there's disease in their heart, a metal taboo, or
there are people who have doubt and we all know this word that it will get terrible. Love Reva V.
America turbo they have doubt.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:40
			Amir ha funa and yeah he for Allah who Ali him Rasulo or perhaps they're afraid. And yeah, he and
EME, they're afraid perhaps, that Allah and His Messenger will be biased against them. And what kind
of person would think Allah azza wa jal or the prophets are setting would be biased,
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:49
			or the other have doubt or they have disease in their heart. But Allah Iike homos volume
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:15
			rather, they're the ones who are oppressors. They're the ones who are in the wrong. Then the next
verse, Allah subhanaw taala shows you how the believers react, the proper believers how they react
and the verse begins by saying in Nama and in Nama is adapt to hustle. It means the only reaction
the only acceptable reaction in nema.
		
00:21:17 --> 00:21:54
			In NEMA, Colonel Cola, Mina, either do it Allah who are solely meaning the only reaction the only
thing that would the believers would say when they're called to Allah and His Messenger, Lea Kuma
Bay in a home to judge for the profits on sell them to judge between them and your Kulu semi Ana
Wattana. What would an acre homerun monthly home that they would say we hear send me Anna will
Atlanta and we obey and Allah Azza says and those they are the ones who will be successful, will
likely go home and move the home. They're the ones who will be successful.
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:41
			This is the case of many people today. Yeah, and someone has asthma and he deals with rubber in his
life. You come to him and he told him smoking is haram. He has asthma and lung problems and he has
no interest in smoking. So he submits immediately. Yes, smoking is haram then you tell them Riba is
haram and he's dealing with ribeye, extensively what happens, excuses an economy and this and that
and you have all kinds of excuses, no submission there. Or you come to someone who's a smoker and
has no dealings with riba. Tell them Reba is haram. He'll tell you absolutely. Very haram, you agree
with you instantly? Tell them smoking is haram? What will you hear from them? Meaning, true
		
00:22:41 --> 00:23:26
			submission isn't in issues that have nothing to do with you that you're not involved when that don't
intersect or come into your life. True submission would be with the issues that are serious and
important and dear to you, but Allah is Allah azza wa jal more dear to you. That is true submission,
something that has a part of my life and I'm willing to give it up for the sake of Allah azza wa jal
not that my readiness to give up something I have no interest in anyways. So brothers and sisters,
we are to examine our lives and see what areas we refusing to submit to Allah azza wa jal in and
then to make changes, not excuses, not look for a fatwa or another opinion but to make changes for
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:28
			the sake of Allah azza wa jal
		
00:23:29 --> 00:23:51
			with that we ask Allah azza wa jal to make us of those who recognize the truth as clear truth and
follow the best of it and to make us of those who recognize falsehood as clear falsehood and abstain
from it. For Lahoma no one was up nativa What I didn't know about till about 10 and what is not
gonna follow who Murata Jarrah dunya Guerra Homina Well, I'm a blogger Elmina whether Elena Remo
Sirona.
		
00:23:53 --> 00:24:24
			We ask Allah Subhana Allah to grant victory to Islam and to the Muslims and to grant ease to all the
Muslims and the difficulties that they're going through. We ask Allah azza wa jal to remove this
illness from the world. When we ask Allah Subhana Allah Allahu manana Salah camera Rushden you asked
