inwa can alikoum Rokita Yeah, you know,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18

Colin said either

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

way of

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

warming up our pseudo code is

00:01:31 --> 00:01:31

another

00:01:35 --> 00:01:37

dear brothers and sisters

00:01:40 --> 00:01:42

when Allah subhanahu wa taala created us

00:01:43 --> 00:01:44

to live in this world.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:51

He created us for a purpose for a reason.

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

Not just like that without any purpose without any reason.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:03

And so Allah subhanho wa Taala created us

00:02:04 --> 00:02:05

to serve him

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

to worship him

00:02:09 --> 00:02:11

to live our lives

00:02:12 --> 00:02:14

in the way that he wants

00:02:17 --> 00:02:18

to Regina will

00:02:21 --> 00:02:24

not have not created the jinn nor mankind

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

except to worship me.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:33

However, the biggest challenge

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

that we face

00:02:39 --> 00:02:43

is not that we don't know about this truth from Allah subhanahu wa tada

00:02:46 --> 00:02:48

it's not that we have trouble accepting it.

00:02:51 --> 00:02:54

It's not that we have trouble believing in it.

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59

So even is easy.

00:03:02 --> 00:03:03

Believe in the heart is easy.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

To say with your tongue is also easy.

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

But the biggest challenge

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

me and you face in this life

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

is that after our

00:03:21 --> 00:03:22

we are being held back

00:03:24 --> 00:03:26

from living a life of a

00:03:30 --> 00:03:30

life of ease still

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

remain steadfast upon that path of

00:03:39 --> 00:03:41

both inwardly and outwardly.

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

And so one of the companions of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:56

He came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

He said Yasuda wa

00:04:01 --> 00:04:03

polyfill Islamic Allah.

00:04:08 --> 00:04:09

The old messenger of Allah

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

told me something about Islam.

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

One word

00:04:18 --> 00:04:22

that I will have to ask anyone besides you.

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam,

00:04:30 --> 00:04:32

he did not give him a long winded answer.

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

He did not quote for him in value from the brand.

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

But rather, he said, in two words,

00:04:44 --> 00:04:45

to be loved.

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

Don't stalk him.

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

Say,

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

I have believed in a law

00:04:54 --> 00:04:56

and then remain steadfast upon that.

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

Leave away from Mr. Koerner.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

I live a life of steadfastness.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:07

belief of obedience to Allah subhanahu wa taala

00:05:14 --> 00:05:18

so email alone is not why Allah subhana wa tada created us.

00:05:22 --> 00:05:23

Man alone

00:05:24 --> 00:05:26

is not gonna land you in jail.

00:05:29 --> 00:05:33

In la de la, buena wa who saw most of

00:05:35 --> 00:05:42

those who said we believe, and then they followed up that he man with righteousness with a life of his Tacoma.

wherever she will be a genuine Atletico to.

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

The angels descend upon such people

00:06:04 --> 00:06:05

at the time of death,

00:06:06 --> 00:06:07

saying to them,

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

Do not fear nor grief.

00:06:12 --> 00:06:19

Do not fear as we take away your soul. Do not fear about where you're going to.

00:06:21 --> 00:06:26

nor grieve over what you are leaving behind of your family your children

00:06:27 --> 00:06:29

do not fear nor grieve.

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

be given the glad tidings of

00:06:36 --> 00:06:37

which you were promised.

00:06:39 --> 00:06:44

And then the other is in the Roku, Roku Nova to Mr.

karasawa,

00:06:51 --> 00:06:54

poly de de Botton miana loon,

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

those who say we believe and then

00:07:01 --> 00:07:04

they follow up that belief within karma

00:07:07 --> 00:07:13

there shall be no fear for them, nor shall they grieve. They are the companions of gentlemen,

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

to abide in zero forever.

00:07:18 --> 00:07:22

Does that be materno Yama loon, a reward

00:07:24 --> 00:07:25

for what they used to do.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:34

And so my dear brothers and sisters, a man is one thing, but to follow up that a man

00:07:36 --> 00:07:42

to follow up, that a man with action, with steadfastness upon the Straight Path of Allah,

00:07:43 --> 00:07:48

until the day you meet him, this is a completely different thing.

00:07:49 --> 00:07:50

And so, if you want

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

any friend

00:07:57 --> 00:07:59

or a co worker, or any law,

00:08:00 --> 00:08:08

he was Javi woman who whom Peter said I mean ila hometeam. A man that, but de la hora de la la solicitud de unicon Baraka yo la hora Sudoku in quantum meaning.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

But your brothers and sisters

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

if you wanted to travel somewhere

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

you want to get in your car

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

and you wanted to travel somewhere.

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

Let's say it's very far off.

00:09:46 --> 00:09:47

You're gonna look

00:09:49 --> 00:09:51

for the shortest path that leads

00:09:54 --> 00:09:55

you're going to look

00:09:56 --> 00:10:00

for the straightest path to your destination. You're going to

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

Look for the most direct your destination.

00:10:06 --> 00:10:08

So once you start reading that path,

00:10:10 --> 00:10:12

you wouldn't go right or left.

00:10:13 --> 00:10:15

You were a stray off of that path.

00:10:16 --> 00:10:20

But rather you stick to it and only take a break when you need it.

00:10:22 --> 00:10:23

Likewise,

00:10:25 --> 00:10:26

the path to

00:10:29 --> 00:10:30

the path.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:36

Allah subhanahu wa tada needed to be a straight path.

00:10:38 --> 00:10:46

Not a path that's worse, going right or left, but rather a straight path. Why?

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

Because this path leads to our destination.

00:10:53 --> 00:10:54

Because the one who treads this path

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

he is focused on what is in front of him.

00:11:00 --> 00:11:03

He is focused on his desk.

00:11:08 --> 00:11:09

But someone else

00:11:11 --> 00:11:12

who doesn't want to take that street

00:11:15 --> 00:11:16

will go right and left.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

He'll swerve off

00:11:20 --> 00:11:22

deviate from the straight path.

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

And then in front of him he doesn't have

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

he doesn't have the destination of Jenna.

00:11:32 --> 00:11:36

He wants to take a break. He finds it difficult to boring.

00:11:38 --> 00:11:39

And yes.

00:11:41 --> 00:11:54

This is the nature of the st. Pat's of Allah subhanahu wa Tada. This is why so many people they complain that to live a life of religiosity.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

It's boring,

00:11:57 --> 00:11:58

difficult.

00:11:59 --> 00:12:04

Why? Because they're knifes has its desire.

00:12:05 --> 00:12:15

Their enough's wants it cabri there are enough or cdva left and right, satisfying its pleasure,

00:12:16 --> 00:12:19

which it does not find upon that string.

00:12:21 --> 00:12:26

That is leading to a loss of Hannah, who were to Hannah. And that is leading agenda.

00:12:27 --> 00:12:32

And so this is why many people, they start off on the straight path.

00:12:33 --> 00:12:35

But then after a while you find

00:12:36 --> 00:12:37

that they start to slow down.

00:12:39 --> 00:12:41

Some of them have burnouts.

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

Some of them go backwards.

00:12:46 --> 00:12:48

Some of them go rain. Some of them go left.

00:12:51 --> 00:12:53

But just like in any race,

00:12:56 --> 00:12:58

you have the winners and you have the loser.

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

What is the description of the winner?

00:13:07 --> 00:13:10

Those who start off diligently.

00:13:11 --> 00:13:14

And they continue diligently until

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

they reach the finish line.

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

Just like in any race.

00:13:23 --> 00:13:27

The winners are those who remain steadfast.

00:13:28 --> 00:13:34

Yes, it's difficult. Yes, there will be barriers. Yes, there will be hardship.

00:13:36 --> 00:13:40

I'm not gonna get distracted from my end goal.

00:13:41 --> 00:13:43

But the losers who are they?

00:13:44 --> 00:13:45

They are those

00:13:46 --> 00:13:51

who want to give in to the pressure. They are those

00:13:53 --> 00:13:55

who want to give in to their enough.

00:13:56 --> 00:14:00

And it's desire. It's desire for rest.

00:14:02 --> 00:14:05

Wanting to deviate, right and left.

00:14:07 --> 00:14:13

And so my dear brothers and sisters, there are many barriers that come in between us

00:14:14 --> 00:14:16

and continuing diligently

00:14:17 --> 00:14:20

upon a strict path of a loss of heritage.

00:14:22 --> 00:14:24

Among these barriers

00:14:25 --> 00:14:35

is that many of us we think that to live a life of obedience to Allah to live a life of his karma. It means

00:14:36 --> 00:14:37

that I'm going to miss out

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

on the enjoyments of

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

the comfort of the dunya.

00:14:46 --> 00:14:48

Among the barriers, is

00:14:49 --> 00:14:51

not being able to picture ourselves

00:14:53 --> 00:14:59

as being religious Muslims, yes. Many of us we can't imagine ourselves

00:15:02 --> 00:15:03

as being religious Muslim,

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

this is from shavon

00:15:09 --> 00:15:12

whispers this into our minds into our hearts.

00:15:13 --> 00:15:17

Also, among the barriers is a lack of your team.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:24

Some of us are not convinced, is this really the path leading to Jenna?

00:15:26 --> 00:15:27

Is this really gonna land me

00:15:28 --> 00:15:29

in Jenna.

00:15:32 --> 00:15:35

Among the barriers is a lack of

00:15:36 --> 00:15:37

luck

00:15:38 --> 00:15:39

of determination.

00:15:41 --> 00:15:42

We started off on the path.

00:15:44 --> 00:15:45

But then we start to lose steam.

00:15:47 --> 00:15:50

And we start to lose determination to continue.

00:15:51 --> 00:15:52

We become distracted

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

by shaitan by the dounia.

00:15:57 --> 00:15:59

And we lose that determination to continue.

00:16:01 --> 00:16:03

Among the barriers is peer pressure,

00:16:05 --> 00:16:06

family pressure,

00:16:07 --> 00:16:12

societal pressure, especially in this society in which we live in

00:16:14 --> 00:16:20

live a life of Mr. Karma means that you're going to have to stand up,

00:16:21 --> 00:16:26

it means that you're going to have to live as a stranger.

00:16:27 --> 00:16:31

And you're going to have to look, you're going to have to be seen stranger.

00:16:33 --> 00:16:41

These are some of the barriers that come in between us and choosing to tread that path.

00:16:44 --> 00:16:47

And so, there is one thing

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

the most important thing that will help us

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

to tread that string path of velocity.

00:16:59 --> 00:17:00

And that is

00:17:02 --> 00:17:03

by keeping ourselves focused

00:17:06 --> 00:17:09

by keeping ourselves focused on our destination.

00:17:12 --> 00:17:17

Keep it in front of your eyes, every single moment of your life.

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

Keep in front of your eyes the reality

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

any movement

00:17:28 --> 00:17:30

is life of yours can come to an end.

00:17:33 --> 00:17:35

It's either agenda or the hellfire.

00:17:37 --> 00:17:38

No third path

00:17:41 --> 00:17:42

at any moment

00:17:43 --> 00:17:47

it could come to an end. The Angel of Death

00:17:48 --> 00:17:49

does not come

00:17:51 --> 00:17:51

with an appointment.

00:17:53 --> 00:17:54

rather he comes with

00:17:57 --> 00:17:58

dear brothers and sisters.

00:18:00 --> 00:18:01

The leaf of an ester

00:18:03 --> 00:18:05

is what Allah subhanho wa Taala wants us to tread

00:18:07 --> 00:18:11

it is the life that Allah subhanahu wa tada created us for.

00:18:12 --> 00:18:14

Yes, we're not perfect human beings.

00:18:15 --> 00:18:20

And we will have shortcomings. We will commit mistakes along the path.

00:18:21 --> 00:18:23

But don't let yourself

00:18:25 --> 00:18:27

swerve off the path permanently.

00:18:29 --> 00:18:31

Come back to the springtime

00:18:32 --> 00:18:33

sooner rather than later.

00:18:35 --> 00:18:36

And remember

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

that the life of his Tacoma

00:18:41 --> 00:18:46

is as Allah subhana wa tada wanted, not as me and

00:18:48 --> 00:18:53

unfortunately many Muslims out there today. They have a concept of religiosity.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:57

They think that to be religious

00:18:59 --> 00:18:59

is

00:19:04 --> 00:19:06

by applying certain aspects of Islam

00:19:08 --> 00:19:09

and not applying other

00:19:11 --> 00:19:12

taking it easy

00:19:16 --> 00:19:18

as Allah subhanho wa Taala commanded His Prophet

00:19:22 --> 00:19:23

What did

00:19:24 --> 00:19:30

what 100 command his own Prophet and Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:19:42 --> 00:19:43

remain steadfast.

00:19:45 --> 00:19:45

Oh,

00:19:46 --> 00:19:50

as you wish known as you have been commanded,

00:19:51 --> 00:19:56

pasta cream comma, woman, woman tada Marika wanna taco

00:19:59 --> 00:19:59

remains

00:20:00 --> 00:20:03

steadfast as you have been commanded by Allah,

00:20:04 --> 00:20:08

and also those who have repented with you, meaning the believers,

00:20:09 --> 00:20:12

and do not, do not go astray.

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

Do not go too extreme.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:19

And so if this was the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:20:20 --> 00:20:28

autolyzed, commanding him to remain steadfast as he has been commanded. And how about the rest of us?
