			dhunubakum wa man yuti'illaha warasulahu faqadi faaza
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:31
			fawzan azeema amma ba'd Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35
			'ala created us and he sent us messengers
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:41
			to guide us to guide us, to teach
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:46
			us who Allah is and what Allah wants
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			from us and so Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			'ala has told us that he didn't just
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			create us to live and die and that's
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:59
			it but rather he created us to serve
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:04
			him, to worship him wama khalaqtul jinna wal
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:08
			-insa illa liyabudoon and I did not create
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			the jinn nor humankind except for them to
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17
			worship me but now this worship of Allah
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:25
			differs from person to person it varies
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:32
			depending on one thing depending on their knowledge
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			of who Allah is and thus their veneration,
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42
			their reverence of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:46
			and so the greatest problem that human beings
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:50
			face is that they don't know who Allah
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:57
			is and thus they can't venerate him they
		
00:02:57 --> 00:03:01
			can't revere him they can't consider him to
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:08
			be great and so we get to know
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:11
			who Allah is and we get to know
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:16
			how great Allah is through looking at the
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:22
			creation around us and so start with your
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:31
			own human self wafee anfusikum afala tubsiroon and
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:37
			in you human beings are signs signs of
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:40
			the greatness of Allah will you then not
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			see?
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			and so just think about your human body
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:50
			with all of its massive intricate control systems
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:58
			think about your brain, how it functions how
		
00:03:58 --> 00:04:06
			it retrieves information how it distinguishes information in
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:10
			a millionth of a second think about your
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:17
			heart and how it continuously pumps blood intaking,
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:23
			discharging at a very very steady precise pace
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			think about your lungs think about how you
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:32
			breathe think about all of your other systems
		
00:04:32 --> 00:04:37
			in your body and then look around you
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			look at this world around you look at
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:48
			the animals, the fish, the oceans, the trees,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:55
			the mountains look at these small creations of
		
00:04:55 --> 00:05:00
			Allah these chemical elements some of which have
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			not even been discovered until today and are
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			not even detectable think about how all of
		
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12
			these different creations have a law that they
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			follow all of their laws that they follow
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:21
			are in total synchronization and harmony and balance
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:28
			then look above look at the sky above
		
00:05:28 --> 00:05:33
			us look at how our planet is one
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:37
			of many in this solar system look at
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:42
			how this planet of ours is where it
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:46
			is located in this solar system if it
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:51
			was just slightly closer to the sun it
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			would be too hot to live if it
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			was just slightly away from the sun it
		
00:05:56 --> 00:06:00
			would be too cold to live on then
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:03
			think about how this solar system is one
		
00:06:03 --> 00:06:07
			of many in this galaxy and how this
		
00:06:07 --> 00:06:13
			galaxy is one of millions in this universe
		
00:06:14 --> 00:06:22
			this universe that we have discovered only a
		
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24
			fraction of until this very day with all
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:33
			of our scientific and technological advancements this is
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:37
			the creation of Allah and the greatness of
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:41
			the creation points to the greatness of the
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:47
			creator هذا خلق الله فاروني ماذا خلق الذين
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:51
			من دونه this is the creation of Allah
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:55
			so show me what these other false gods
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:59
			have created and so my dear brothers and
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:03
			sisters this is how we get to know
		
00:07:03 --> 00:07:07
			the greatness of Allah that will lead to
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:12
			veneration of Allah SWT and His reverence, His
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:16
			Ta'zeem but we also get to know
		
00:07:16 --> 00:07:21
			Allah SWT through what He has told us
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:28
			about Himself through His prophets and messengers and
		
00:07:28 --> 00:07:32
			so we know that Allah is Al-Azeem,
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:39
			Al-Kabeer The Great, Al-Ali, Al-Muta
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:44
			'al, Al-Mutakabbir all of these are names
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			of Allah that point to His greatness and
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:55
			His superiority and His authority over everything else
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:01
			that He has created and so all of
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			these names and attributes of Allah that we
		
00:08:03 --> 00:08:06
			have been told of by Allah and His
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:12
			messengers they are attributes of perfection indicating the
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:18
			greatness of Allah Allah tells us about His
		
00:08:18 --> 00:08:23
			greatness when He refers to some of the
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:29
			greatest of His creation Allah says وَسِعَ كُرُسِيُهُ
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:36
			السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ The Kursi of Allah extends over
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:40
			the heavens and the earth think about it
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:50
			this earth and the seven heavens the Kursi
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:57
			of Allah extends over all of that but
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:01
			that's not where it ends the Kursi of
		
00:09:01 --> 00:09:05
			Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is still small
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:11
			compared to something else and that is the
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:16
			Arsh of Allah, His throne Abdullah ibn Mas
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:22
			'ud radiallahu anhu he says trying to give
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:27
			us a picture of how great the creation
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:35
			of Allah is he says the distance between
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:44
			the lowest heaven السماء الدنيا the heaven of
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:48
			the dunya the distance between the first heaven
		
00:09:48 --> 00:09:53
			and the second is the distance of 500
		
00:09:53 --> 00:09:57
			years traveling traveling on what?
		
00:09:57 --> 00:10:01
			not on airplanes or rockets but on horseback
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			and then the distance between one heaven and
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:16
			the next is likewise 500 years travel he
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:20
			says and then the distance between the last
		
00:10:20 --> 00:10:24
			heaven the seventh heaven and the Kursi of
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:27
			Allah because Allah tells us in Ayatul Kursi
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			that His Kursi extends over the heavens and
		
00:10:30 --> 00:10:34
			the earth so he says the distance between
		
00:10:34 --> 00:10:36
			the seventh heaven and the Kursi of Allah
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:43
			is likewise 500 years and then he says
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:50
			and the distance between the Kursi and the
		
00:10:50 --> 00:10:54
			water is 500 years what is this water?
		
00:10:55 --> 00:10:58
			Allah tells us in the Quran وَكَانَ عَرُشُهُ
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:01
			عَلَى الْمَاءِ there is a body of water
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:06
			that Allah's Arsh, His throne is above that
		
00:11:06 --> 00:11:10
			body of water so the distance between the
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:14
			Kursi of Allah and this body of water
		
00:11:14 --> 00:11:20
			is 500 years he says and the Arsh,
		
00:11:20 --> 00:11:22
			the throne of Allah is above the water
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:33
			وَاللَّهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ وَلَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ أَعْمَالَكُ and
		
00:11:33 --> 00:11:37
			Allah is above His Arsh, His throne and
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			nothing of what you do is hidden or
		
00:11:41 --> 00:11:46
			concealed from Allah imagine that he says this
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:49
			at the very end to dispel any doubt
		
00:11:49 --> 00:11:54
			in our minds that if this is the
		
00:11:54 --> 00:11:57
			huge distance between us and Allah then maybe
		
00:11:57 --> 00:11:59
			there are some things that we can do
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:01
			that are hidden from Allah and so he
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			says no even with this mighty distance between
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			us and Allah he's still closer to us
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:13
			as Allah says in the Qur'an وَنَحْنُ
		
00:12:13 --> 00:12:17
			أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ we are closer
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:21
			to man than his own jugular vein meaning
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:25
			Allah is closer to us in His knowledge
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			and His sight and His hearing He is
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:35
			closer to us even though He is Himself
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:42
			far above above His creation above His throne
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			because the throne of Allah is the mightiest
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:48
			of Allah's creation and it is like a
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:54
			dome over the creation of Allah the Prophet
		
00:12:54 --> 00:13:01
			ﷺ describing comparing the Arsh of Allah to
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:06
			His Kursi the Prophet ﷺ says مَا السَّمَاوَاتُ
		
00:13:06 --> 00:13:11
			السَّبْعُ مَعَ الْكُرْسِ إِلَّا كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاطٌ بِأَرْضِ فَلَا
		
00:13:11 --> 00:13:16
			the Prophet ﷺ says that the seven heavens
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:21
			compared to the Kursi of Allah is like
		
00:13:21 --> 00:13:25
			nothing but a metal ring that you take
		
00:13:25 --> 00:13:28
			and you throw it into a vast, open,
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:35
			barren land the seven heavens and the earth
		
00:13:36 --> 00:13:40
			is like that small ring and the land
		
00:13:41 --> 00:13:44
			is like the Kursi of Allah the Prophet
		
00:13:44 --> 00:13:49
			ﷺ went on to say وَفَضْلُ الْعَرْشِ عَلَى
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:56
			الْكُرْسِ كَفَضْلِ الْفُؤَلَاتِ عَلَى الْحَلْقَةِ and the Arsh,
		
00:13:57 --> 00:13:59
			the throne of Allah compared to the Kursi
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:06
			of Allah is like that huge, barren, empty
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:10
			land that being like the Arsh, the throne
		
00:14:11 --> 00:14:14
			and the ring being like the Kursi of
		
00:14:14 --> 00:14:17
			Allah even though we know that the Kursi
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			of Allah extends over the heavens and the
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:25
			earth so imagine how great the throne of
		
00:14:25 --> 00:14:29
			Allah must be this is something we are
		
00:14:29 --> 00:14:32
			permitted to imagine why?
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:35
			because the throne of Allah is part of
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:39
			His creation it's something Allah has created but
		
00:14:39 --> 00:14:43
			even if you try to imagine it you
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:46
			will never be able to imagine its reality
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:49
			because of how huge it is how massive
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:53
			it is so if that is the case
		
00:14:53 --> 00:14:57
			with the greatest of Allah's creation then how
		
00:14:57 --> 00:14:58
			about Allah?
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:02
			how great must Allah be?
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:10
			whose greatness has no limit whose greatness cannot
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:16
			be perceived whose greatness cannot be comprehended Allah
		
00:15:16 --> 00:15:19
			Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and all of His
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:28
			attributes cannot be imagined cannot be comprehended
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:31
			even though we have been told about them
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:36
			there is no way for us to imagine
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:39
			them to imagine Allah or any of His
		
00:15:39 --> 00:15:41
			attributes why?
		
00:15:42 --> 00:15:46
			because Allah is not from this creation Allah
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:50
			is uncreated He is the first before whom
		
00:15:50 --> 00:15:55
			there was nothing and He created everything so
		
00:15:55 --> 00:15:59
			in existence you have the created and the
		
00:15:59 --> 00:16:03
			uncreated so even if you try to imagine
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:07
			how Allah is Allah is far beyond your
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:08
			imagination why?
		
00:16:08 --> 00:16:13
			because your imagination is something that you have
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:19
			carved out in your mind it is a
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:22
			creation that you have created and Allah Subhanahu
		
00:16:22 --> 00:16:27
			Wa Ta'ala is far beyond His creation
		
00:16:31 --> 00:16:36
			there is nothing like Allah and He is
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:40
			the all-hearing and the all-seeing and
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:45
			so we affirm all of Allah's attributes without
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:53
			denying or changing their meanings and without explaining
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:57
			or trying to imagine how or trying to
		
00:16:57 --> 00:17:02
			liken and resemble Allah and His attributes to
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:20
			that of His creation so
		
00:17:20 --> 00:17:23
			ask His forgiveness, for He is the most
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:49
			forgiving and most merciful and
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:52
			a bearer of glad tidings and a warner
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:55
			He conveyed the message and fulfilled the trust
		
00:17:55 --> 00:18:00
			and advised the Ummah and left us on
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:04
			the white path its night is like its
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:08
			day nothing escapes it but destruction may Allah's
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:10
			peace and blessings be upon him and upon
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:15
			his pure family and his companions and his
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			companions of the right hand and those who
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			followed their path and their traces disappeared until
		
00:18:22 --> 00:18:27
			the Day of Judgment so fear Allah, O
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			servants of Allah and make peace between yourselves
		
00:18:30 --> 00:18:33
			and obey Allah and His Messenger if you
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:39
			are believers whoever gets to know Allah Subhanahu
		
00:18:39 --> 00:18:44
			Wa Ta'ala whoever gets to know Allah
		
00:18:44 --> 00:18:48
			gains some knowledge of who Allah is it
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:53
			leads to something this knowledge, it leads to
		
00:18:53 --> 00:18:59
			Iman and that Iman, it leads to what
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:03
			is known as Ta'zeem it leads to
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:07
			the veneration of Allah the reverence of Allah
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:13
			the glorification of Allah it leads one to
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:18
			look at Allah as being great as being
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:23
			someone who deserves all honor all veneration and
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:29
			all praise and so that leads to then
		
00:19:29 --> 00:19:38
			venerating and revering whatever comes from Allah of
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:42
			His commands of His prohibitions of whatever He
		
00:19:42 --> 00:19:46
			has legislated as well as whatever He has
		
00:19:46 --> 00:19:51
			decreed for us once we understand who Allah
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:58
			is and who we are we understand that
		
00:19:58 --> 00:20:01
			whatever Allah tells us whether it is related
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:07
			to His commandments and prohibitions or whatever is
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:11
			related to what He has decreed we submit
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:15
			to it we submit to it because of
		
00:20:15 --> 00:20:19
			where it's coming from it's coming from Allah
		
00:20:20 --> 00:20:25
			Al-Azim, Al-Kabir, the greatest of whom
		
00:20:25 --> 00:20:29
			there is no one greater than and so
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:33
			when you want to disobey someone you don't
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:38
			look at the command or the prohibition you
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:41
			ask who is it that is commanding me
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:46
			and so if it's a nobody in your
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:49
			eyes you'll disobey him because you don't care
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			who this person is but if it's someone
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:56
			you hold in high regard you would think
		
00:20:56 --> 00:21:02
			twice before disobeying if you receive a letter
		
00:21:02 --> 00:21:07
			in the mail from the authorities it shakes
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			you immediately you get on the phone you
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:13
			start calling lawyers, why?
		
00:21:15 --> 00:21:18
			because the authorities are something in your eyes
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			and so Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:27
			'la has sent us a letter 1400 years
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:35
			ago but unfortunately many Muslims today they don't
		
00:21:35 --> 00:21:40
			hold this letter in any regard they don't
		
00:21:40 --> 00:21:43
			care when they're told that Allah has said
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:45
			such and such or his messenger has said
		
00:21:45 --> 00:21:51
			such and such they don't care why?
		
00:21:51 --> 00:21:55
			because they don't have any regard for Allah
		
00:21:55 --> 00:21:57
			Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la in their
		
00:21:57 --> 00:22:02
			hearts and so this is why a certain
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:08
			people this is why a certain people venerated
		
00:22:10 --> 00:22:16
			considered great small minor things from the salaf
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:19
			of this ummah from the sahaba, the tabi
		
00:22:19 --> 00:22:25
			'oon in those early generations there were pious
		
00:22:25 --> 00:22:29
			people who considered small things that we consider
		
00:22:29 --> 00:22:32
			as being small and insignificant today they used
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:34
			to hold themselves to account over these small
		
00:22:34 --> 00:22:35
			things why?
		
00:22:38 --> 00:22:41
			because they had veneration for Allah in their
		
00:22:41 --> 00:22:47
			hearts while others major sins they don't care
		
00:22:48 --> 00:22:50
			it's as if it's not a big deal
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:54
			and that's why some of the scholars have
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:00
			said لا تنظر إلى صغر الذنب ولكن انظر
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:05
			إلى عظمة من عصيت don't look at how
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:08
			small the sin is but rather look at
		
00:23:08 --> 00:23:11
			the greatness of the one who you have
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:15
			disobeyed and this is why Allah subhanahu wa
		
00:23:15 --> 00:23:18
			ta'ala three times in the Qur'an
		
00:23:19 --> 00:23:26
			he criticizes those who have no value for
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:30
			Allah in their hearts Allah subhanahu wa ta
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:32
			'ala repeats this phrase three times in the
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:38
			Qur'an وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ they
		
00:23:38 --> 00:23:43
			didn't give Allah the due honor, veneration that
		
00:23:43 --> 00:23:47
			He is most deserving of in Surah Al
		
00:23:47 --> 00:23:50
			-An'am Allah says وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:54
			قَدْرِهِ إِذْ قَالُوا مَا أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَشَرٍ
		
00:23:54 --> 00:24:00
			مِّن شَيْءٍ they didn't give Allah the due
		
00:24:00 --> 00:24:03
			honor, veneration that He is most deserving of
		
00:24:03 --> 00:24:06
			when they said that Allah has not sent
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:12
			any revelation to any human being and in
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:16
			Surah Al-Hajj وَمَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:21
			إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌ عَزِيزٌ they have not given
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:24
			Allah the due honor, veneration that He is
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:30
			most deserving of and indeed Allah is the
		
00:24:30 --> 00:24:34
			all-powerful and the almighty Allah said this
		
00:24:34 --> 00:24:40
			in Surah Al-Hajj in the context, in
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:44
			the context of refuting those who worship false
		
00:24:44 --> 00:24:49
			gods Allah says that these false gods have
		
00:24:49 --> 00:24:53
			no power they are powerless and so look
		
00:24:53 --> 00:24:56
			at how these people worship false gods that
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			have no power why would they do such
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			a thing?
		
00:24:59 --> 00:25:03
			because, because they have no veneration for Allah
		
00:25:03 --> 00:25:07
			in their eyes and the third time Allah
		
00:25:07 --> 00:25:14
			mentions this is in Surah Az-Zumar وَمَا
		
00:25:14 --> 00:25:20
			قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ وَالْأَرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبِضَتُهُ يَوْمَ
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:27
			الْقِيَامَةِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى
		
00:25:27 --> 00:25:32
			عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ and they did not give Allah
		
00:25:33 --> 00:25:35
			the due honor and veneration that He is
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:41
			most deserving of and yet, and yet the
		
00:25:42 --> 00:25:45
			earth will be in the grip of Allah
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:48
			on the day of judgment and the heavens
		
00:25:48 --> 00:25:53
			will be rolled up in His right hand
		
00:25:53 --> 00:25:57
			Abdullah ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه he says
		
00:25:57 --> 00:26:00
			about this ayah the seven heavens and the
		
00:26:00 --> 00:26:03
			earth in Allah's hands is like a mustard
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:10
			seed in one of our hands and so
		
00:26:10 --> 00:26:18
			likewise you have not given Allah the honor
		
00:26:18 --> 00:26:21
			and veneration He is most deserving of when
		
00:26:24 --> 00:26:30
			you disobey Allah knowingly and you haven't given
		
00:26:30 --> 00:26:33
			Allah the due honor and veneration that He
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:37
			is most deserving of when you do something
		
00:26:37 --> 00:26:45
			that He has clearly forbidden knowingly, as if
		
00:26:45 --> 00:26:48
			you don't care as if it's not a
		
00:26:48 --> 00:26:53
			big deal and you haven't given Allah the
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:56
			due honor and veneration that He is most
		
00:26:56 --> 00:27:00
			deserving of when you complain and you object
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:06
			to what Allah has decreed for you of
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			suffering, of calamities and all of that is
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:16
			because you have failed to recognize who Allah
		
00:27:16 --> 00:27:20
			is and who you are as a small
		
00:27:20 --> 00:27:29
			creation of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the veneration of
		
00:27:29 --> 00:27:35
			Allah His تعظيم in your heart if you
		
00:27:35 --> 00:27:37
			want to test yourself to see how much
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:42
			do I venerate Allah the yardstick that you
		
00:27:42 --> 00:27:47
			should use is that when you are in
		
00:27:47 --> 00:27:52
			front of two options when you are in
		
00:27:52 --> 00:27:56
			front of something that is pleasing to you
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:00
			that is tempting to you but then you
		
00:28:00 --> 00:28:02
			hear and you know that Allah has forbidden
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:04
			this what will you do?
		
00:28:05 --> 00:28:06
			what will your reaction be?
		
00:28:07 --> 00:28:11
			something that is tempting to you not something
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:16
			not something that you have a natural dislike
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:20
			for and Allah has made it haram because
		
00:28:20 --> 00:28:25
			that's easy for everyone or something that Allah
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			has told us to do or a good
		
00:28:26 --> 00:28:29
			deed that is easy for you that is
		
00:28:29 --> 00:28:31
			convenient for you for example you may be
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:35
			rich giving sadaqa is easy and convenient for
		
00:28:35 --> 00:28:39
			you that's not where the تعظيم the veneration
		
00:28:39 --> 00:28:43
			of Allah comes out it comes out when
		
00:28:43 --> 00:28:48
			something is difficult for your nafs where your
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:52
			nafs is inclining to do something wanting to
		
00:28:52 --> 00:29:01
			satisfy its pleasures and you abandon it for
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:03
			the sake of Allah that is when you
		
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06
			know that there is something in your heart
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:11
			of the veneration of Allah the تعظيم of
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			Allah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and that
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:18
			is why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala the
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:21
			Prophet ﷺ tells us that Allah will shade
		
00:29:21 --> 00:29:26
			on the day of judgment seven people under
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			his shade on a day in which there
		
00:29:28 --> 00:29:30
			will be no shade except his and he
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:34
			mentioned seven individuals certain things that they did
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:36
			in order to earn that reward on the
		
00:29:36 --> 00:29:38
			day of judgment what do we notice among
		
00:29:38 --> 00:29:40
			all of these seven people?
		
00:29:42 --> 00:29:44
			they had the تعظيم of Allah in their
		
00:29:44 --> 00:29:47
			hearts that led them to do what they
		
00:29:47 --> 00:31:00
			did Allahumma
