In,
yeah. In a way that tickle your thinking
a little bit,
That you,
you start thinking about it really. Because
that's,
you know, I concluded the recitation that's
your success that you come on the day
of judgment
with a sound heart.
If you really translate these words liter literally,
your wealth
and your children will not
benefit you.
The only thing which will benefit you that
you bring with you
a sound heart,
as if you're carrying it with you. Okay.
Here is Yara, my sound heart. It's like
so your mission in this world is to
keep your heart what?
Sound. So you,
if we read, the Hadith carefully and the
statements of the prophet
and the Quran,
we can
categorize the hearts into
3 types.
Of course,
Hodaifa and others,
briefer the 4 types, but we'll go with
the 3 types to make it easy for
you to understand.
But first of all,
we need to
define
what kind of heart are we talking about.
Are we talking about the medical heart or
the spiritual heart?
Which one?
The spiritual heart.
But, subhanAllah, like the medical heart has significance
on the body because all the blood work
originates from there.
Is that medically correct? Goes from there. Right?
Likewise,
the spiritual heart is the central
or the reserve reservoir
reservoir,
right, The story
of
of faith, of sincerity,
and it goes to the rest of the
body.
And this is what the prophet
said,
indeed in your body
When it is sound,
the rest of the body will be sound.
When it is corrupt, the rest of the
body will be corrupt.
Because that's there is a war of everything
that you have.
Faith,
hypocrisy,
disbelief,
arrogance,
pride,
greed,
everything
is is there
and it affects the entire,
body.
Of course,
when we came into this world,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala placed
inside
this heart
something that we call
inherent
tendency
to go the right way,
which we call,
the intuition.
Something inside that heart
that
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala placed inside you which
supposed to drive you,
make you more interested
in the truth. Seeking the truth,
following the truth,
doing the right thing.
And this is what the prophet
meant.
Every newborn when we come into this world,
we have that
peace, the innermost,
the,
the inner light.
You have some internal light here
of the fitra.
Now
who should take care of that?
Who?
Parents.
What the parents should do?
Their, their duty by the way,
is to connect
the revelation with the fitra.
This way the fitra will be protected
and it will be enhanced.
You're getting that. You
see,
there is an innermost
peace,
whatever you wanna call it,
SIM card or something or, you know, what
the chip
inside it, inside the heart,
inside every human being, by the way, Muslim
or non Muslim. Everyone.
That is why, you know, when when,
Microsoft used to to use that,
line until inside,
You know that Islam inside, futra inside. Every
human being.
Every human being.
Now, this filter
is
looking for, you know, when you up, when
you, when you want to download the software,
you have to have what?
Some matching
piece inside. So that it looks for it.
It looks
it looks for it. So the fitra is
looking for the revelation to be what? To
be protected. Now what the parents do,
they are supposed to connect the fitra with
the revelation, which Allah
brought down.
When they explained
that verse, that peace, that statement.
Light upon light.
In in in in that famous verse
They said
connects
with Nurul Fitra.
The light that you receive from the revelation
connects with Nur al Fitra and that's what
makes the ignition.
You know the have you ever heard about
the nuclear ignition?
That's the most
significant thing in this world now. Actually the
most
the most
valuable ignition in this world
is the ignition of the fitra with the
revelation.
You have light.
Look, sometimes the fitra is dead. But subhanAllah,
Allah who wakes up the fitra
to connect with the
He's walking around people with a light.
Oh,
subhanAllah,
there is a divine
celebration
of this
ignition.
Allah loves that ignition.
When the again, what ignition are we talking
about?
The Quran
connecting with what?
Ignition. You light.
You become new.
Where does this ignition take place?
No, the place, the locality.
Any
gathering, they will gather in the house of
Allah. They do what?
You see that? Because this is the most
important
ignition in this world.
This is where
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
have Ibadul Rahman,
the faithful servants of Rahman,
placing or
presenting the hudjah to the people.
That the entire community is corrupt, the entire
society is corrupt, and here I am.
I have good character, I believe in one
ilah and I follow the messengers of Allah.
Do as you please. That's how.
So
anytime a gathering like this, gather in the
house of Allah. Do what?
They recite the revelation.
Not only that now,
they reflect upon it. And that is why
they
said the Quran
is the cure. If you want to cure
this heart
which gotten sick, the Quran.
But not just reciting it,
pondering upon it,
reflecting upon it.
That this is the best cue.
Cure and immunity.
Both rahma is immunity
and cure.
So when we gather in the in the
house of Allah,
look at the divine
the divine celebration. Allah loves this. Angels will
what?
Sakina will what?
Mercy will what?
And Allah will mention you. These are my
faithful servants.
They are trying to produce that light
in them so that they can go out
there to to the community
and spread
the message through their character.
You're getting that. That's, that's the most important
thing.
I wanna go back to the busier, which
is what?
Our job
and your job
is to connect the filter with the revelation
to keep your heart sound.
Look at this verse.
That ignition here in that verse.
Allah
is the light of the heavens and the
earth.
Of course, we're talking about guidance
here, that he guides.
The likeness of his guidance, of his light,
is like a mishka. You know what a
mishka is?
We can use 2 things. You know, when,
when we were children,
we used to have that lamp, oil lamp.
We put it in a in a certain,
place,
something with a canopy on it.
Which the the if you wanna use the
lamp, you know the lamp has what?
What do you call that thing in in
the in the lamp that you go out
beneath it and you switch the the
shade.
What is the shade is for? To what?
To to keep the light concentrated.
Isn't that what it does?
That's your.
That's the chest.
Inside it, there is what? A lamb. This
is the fitra.
That's the chip.
And this lamb is covered with what? With
a glass.
This is the outer surface of the heart.
Stay with me. So we talked about what?
Mishkeh. What is mishka?
Shade.
To keep the light concentrated.
Because when you remove that shade, what is
gonna happen to the light?
It's gonna spread it. It's not gonna be
effective.
Now inside this,
shade,
inside that,
there is a lamp,
which is the fitra.
This lamp is covered with what? Glass.
This
glass which covers
the outer surface of the heart
is huge.
Look at this now.
The
ignition right here.
This
lamp inside will be ignited.
What will make it ignite?
Which is the revelation, the Quran.
The Quran.
They said this is the Quran.
When the Quran connects with the fitter.
Lightable light, meaning
the light of the revelation connecting with the
light of what?
Of the fitra.
Then you're in good shape. You're healthy. You
have a sound heart.
But
what happened?
Parents neglect the fitra.
They don't discipline the fitra. They don't enhance
the fitra. They don't protect the fitra of
the children.
Whether themselves because of their, you know, being
bad example for their kids, or whether, you
know, a lot of the parents actually do
this with, with,
unintentionally.
Yeah. Unintentionally. They just don't know.
They think what matters is just providing for
their kids, food and water and
good housing and but they don't take care
of the heart.
They don't take care of that fitra that
they have to protect it.
So the fitra becomes corrupt.
So that's the first problem here.
When the base is corrupt
or the fitra is not totally corrupt, but
covered with what?
Dirt.
It's not cleaned up. It's not fresh
right here.
Now
can the revelation awaken the heart?
Yes.
It can.
It can awaken the heart.
If the person is willing
to find a way.
But let me go through the 3 types
of hearts,
which I chose to adopt today. We could
go with the 4, but let's do with
the 3.
The first type,
There are 3 types of hearts. You you
we can choose and most probably we are
with the 3rd type, all of us, Yani,
with I'm just judging you for the sake
of Allah. Please forgive me, Faye'al.
A heart that is totally clean.
Even.
There is no what?
Hills in it.
Inside it,
there is a lamp which is the fitra,
lights.
So the fitra is still what?
The fitter is still what?
Sound.
It's not corrupt.
That the second type,
This is the total opposite.
A heart that is wrapped,
completely sealed.
Inside it, there is kuf,
a man doesn't come in. This is someone
whose fitra is totally, what, tarnished
completely.
Completely tarnished.
And the 3rd tribe,
the tribe that I'm referring to,
imagine your heart that fitra is being
nourished
through 2 types of nourishment,
good and bad.
And sometimes you feed the heart what? Iman.
You feed it knowledge. You feed it.
So the heart is what? Goes to
that good side.
But when you feed it desires, you feed
it whims, you feed it misconceptions about the
religion, you feed it,
suspecting this and that, it goes this way.
So
And that's why the our hearts what?
Up and down.
Because this is the majority of people. Yeah.
Because that's our test.
That is why, by the way, the heart
is called the heart. Why?
The heart is called the heart because
it changes
based on what you expose the heart to.
And, by the way, I I explained this
in in a book called the Maqas Adi
Tafsir volume 2. I actually started explaining
that verse,
of Surah to Noor.
And I explained the verse
in Surat
Those are 2 parables.
One of them,
how
the heart react to the revelation
and how you ignite
the heart
so that you have the light, that you're
walking out there,
you know, smiling,
having good manners,
comfortable with life.
Your heart is at rest. You're not anxious.
Everything is in the hand of Allah. Alhamdulillah.
Allah will take care of it.
You know,
there is akhira.
There is Jannah. You know, having that positive
attitude
positive attitude
throughout
maintaining that connection all the time
between
the base
and the outer.
Now, unfortunately,
we end up damaging 2 things in the
heart and that what cause its disease.
First of all,
the innermost peace, which is the fitra,
now
the outer service is supposed to be clear,
supposed to be clear so the revelation can
what?
Penetrate it
to reach for the fitra.
What do we do with that?
We engage in sins.
What did the prophet say?
What did he say when he will commit
sin?
What happened?
When you commit a sin,
a dark stain is placed where?
In the service, the outer service of the
heart.
The outer on on that glass, which supposed
to be what? Clear. Because
when when the revelation is decided,
it's supposed to what? Penetrate to go where?
To reach the 5th rock,
but now you're covered up.
The,
the
hour of service with what? With stains.
And if you the person keeps sinning, sinning,
sinning, sinning until these stains turn into what?
Run.
And this can evolve into what? Seeding completely.
You're getting the process or no?
Are you weak?
See, I had some coffee this morning, that's
why I'm a little bit hyper here.
You see, you didn't do like me.
I go with coffee very well.
Are we good so far?
So what happened? The parents neglected the fitra.
The fitra is tarnished, covered,
not fresh.
And you come and you add to this
by what?
Messing up what?
The outer.
Now when the revelation is recited, it has
a hard time what?
Sick fitra with what?
Look at this parable in Surat Urat, how
does it cure this?
Allah
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala uses the water
to
resemble the revelation.
Always.
Mahoa, listen.
You are made of 2
pieces put together, which is what body and
soul.
The nutrition of the body,
material body is what?
Which comes from where?
Water.
From water.
The nutrition for the soul is what?
The revelation, the
the nutrition for the heart, for the soul,
whatever you I mean, Luqaim combined them in
a very interesting way that we can explain
later.
So always Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala when he
talks about bringing the rain down,
bringing the rain down,
he may be referring to the revelation for
the soul,
for the heart.
What?
What is the verse?
Isn't it time for the those who believe
that they connect with the revelation
and don't be like the people of the
book who distant themselves from the revelations, their
hearts became what? Hardened.
And that led to them going astray.
Don't lose hope if you're like them.
Like Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala can give life
to earth
after it is,
dead
through what?
The rain.
Likewise,
just make sure that you expose your heart
to the revelation.
So the revelation came down.
I want you to
picture
a piece of earth
that has never
been watered
for a long time?
What is going to happen to that earth?
To to that? Amen. It's gonna become what?
Heart. Heart. Not only that, it's gonna start
having what?
Cracks. Cracks and maybe snakes,
and maybe the the phone are gonna that's
exactly how your heart is without the revelation.
That's how it becomes.
That's how it becomes.
And maybe dirt in it.
Now we're talking about what here?
Whims and desires and misconceptions, religious misconceptions.
So now when the water comes down
on that earth
or
on that heart,
imagine your, imagine the heart in that stage
is like a, a, a water bucket.
What is gonna happen to the dirt?
What is gonna happen to the dirt?
It's gonna start what?
You know, imagine you're having a a bucket
of water that has dirt in it.
And
you start, you you have a water hose
and you start what?
What is gonna happen to the dirt?
That's exactly all scared.
Keep feeding the heart the revelation. Keep feeding
the heart the earth.
All that dirt inside it
will start what?
Floating.
Will become like a zebed.
As long as the water is running,
what is gonna happen to that zebed, to
that foam on the surface?
But remember, if you stop pouring the water,
what is gonna happen?
No. It will it will it will it
will collect again, cover the service, and it
will start what?
Going down there. That's exactly how it's done
with the with the revelation in the heart.
And by the way, I explained this in
in this book,
the volume 2,
when I explained Surat al Fatiha.
I explained those those parables in in in
this manner, yeah.
So
for you to treat the heart, the revelation.
But you have to keep what
Especially if the fitra
is totally tarnished.
Futra
is totally tarnished.
Then you'll have to what?
Poor, poor, poor. Keep keep doing it until
this hard work.
Get the, the,
then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala used,
but before I go there, even in the
sunnah, hadith
The likeness of what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
sent me with knowledge and guidance is like
what?
Khamathali?
Is another name for water, for rain.
But rain that is needed.
When the rain falls down, you end up
with 3 types of hearts.
A heart that will accept the rain,
the revelation.
Not only that,
the ignition will happen
and he will go around and call people
to it.
The other type,
he will accept it
and he will act upon it, but he's
not gonna go around.
The 3rd type, tian.
Bad
earth. A heart that will not accept any
revelation.
See the the same exact thing the prophet
used. Also Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
used in this parable, the fire.
When you expose
gold to the fire, what is gonna happen?
It's gonna become what?
You know, in gold we have carats. We
have 22 what? Carats. We have
what? 21.
Right? There is 24 too. Right? 24, 22.
Why these numbers? Is how long
and how much the gold is exposed to
what?
To the fire. Because the more you expose
it to the fire,
the more what?
The fire is the revelation.
And the purity here of the heart is
your heart.
The same exact thing.
These parables are set for you to understand
what's going on here.
What's going on here? So we got we
got the we got the point. Right? We
got the the connection between the fiftra and
the revelation.
Now,
how can I go
to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
on the day of judgment
with a sound heart?
But before I do that,
I really wanna,
subhanAllah, echo what Sheikh Haqman. I heard him
say that yesterday
that many of us,
their hearts are dead
for years,
for years.
Or they don't even care about it. Some
of them actually some people actually don't even
know that their hearts are dead.
And
when a little limb
anneal,
you run to the emergency room.
When
the heart is the king,
the question here, do we treat our hearts
like you treat a king?
No. We don't.
We don't pay attention even to our hearts.
What happened to it?
A lot of people commit sins, although they
he heard many times that the stain is
there
and the only way to remove that stain
is to make tawba and he doesn't do
it.
He actually goes and follows it with another
sin.
I I read this,
Fitarikh Raqqah,
And who is Maimun ibn Uhran?
One of the scribes of Omar ibn Abdul
Aziz.
Umar ibn Abdul Aziz used him to write
letters for him and we know that Umar
ibn Abdul Aziz was,
one of the special
predecessors in this ummah.
And subhanAllah, he he even appointed him to
discipline his children.
You know, the people in in the past,
they would bring the ulema to discipline their
children. I wanted to to teach my children
the manners,
how to speak, how to talk.
That's how they used to do it.
So one day, he got, he blinded by
the way, it was the end of his
life.
So he called upon his son,
my son
Take
me to.
I feel my heart is hardened.
So now he wanna go to who?
Someone who can help him what?
With his heart.
That's the doctor of the hearts, basically. But
not the medical hearts,
not the cardiologist.
But we're talking about what? The spiritual heart.
Fahamalah,
he carried him actually. He was old man.
And
when
we
say
about
You
know, the way that he articulates,
he resembles the prophets. He's very eloquent,
and he
on point,
eloquence of speech.
So when he arrived,
faqalaiaba
Ali,
he's calling him
I have
been feeling that my heart is hardened.
Please help me soften it. How can I
soften my heart?
He recited
3 verses
only
from the chapter that we recited this morning
called the Shoah in the second raka, where
it is there is a mention of a
sound heart that you're not gonna be successful
on the day of judgment unless you come
with a sound heart. You know what these
verses
3 verses.
Said,
that's it.
He actually sat down and he couldn't take
anymore.
What these verses say, imagine that Allah is
gonna prolong your life and you're gonna live
as long as you want to live in
this world,
and you will have
whatever you wanna have in this world.
What is gonna happen at the end?
The hadith regarding the depths
that
Imagine that. The most
luxurious person, the person who experienced the most
luxury in this world.
He will be dipped one time in what?
In hell. Then he will be pulled out
and the question
Do you remember any good time at all?
And and on the other hand
The one who experienced the most miserable
lifestyle in this world, but he's a believer.
1 dip in Jannah,
then he will be taken out.
Do you still remember any misery that you
had before forgotten Europe?
Just one dip in jannah.
That's what my mumu ibn Muhran understood.
That's what my mumu That's why his heart
himself, they attribute that statement to him that
in it, if I forget about death one
minute, my heart will die.
And one of the things that can keep
your heart ignited and alive that you remember
that you're gonna die. There is a day
of judgment.
There is jannah. There is hell that keeps
you up. For the sake of time, how
long do we still have, Sheikh Abdul Samat,
brother Abdul Samat?
10 minutes.
So that's enough to
give you the recipe now.
Now I'm gonna give you the prescription,
to go with a sound harp. But, of
course,
Hadam
He said,
your heart will never be sound
unless you protect it from 5
and you fill it with 5.
The problem with the heart, by the way,
if you don't fill it with the truth,
it will be filled with what?
Remember the garbage that,
if it's not filled with that pure water,
clean water, it's gonna be filled with what?
And and many of many people by the
way,
I I like this line that the man
who is talking about his his lover,
You know, he he loves his women,
but what we call the lustful love.
You know you know what
he said?
Her love
came to me while I'm having an empty
heart.
It's not filled with the truth. It's not
filled with the revelation. It's not filled with
the water. So the heart is empty.
So her her her her her lustful desire,
her
came into my heart and hold hold my
heart. Now I have a hard time to
get rid of it.
You're getting that.
So if you don't occupy your heart with
the revelation, with the water, with the
with the right thing, the heart
must have some substance there. It's gonna be
corrupt. Corrupt substance.
Fabinul Qayim is saying that you have to
make sure that you vacate the heart from
5
and you fill it with 5. Number 1,
are you ready? I'm gonna test you
on those.
Tawheed.
La ilaha illallah that you believe in la
ilaha illallah which will dismiss
clean your heart from shirk.
If you don't have tawheed, you're gonna have
what?
That's what he's saying.
If you don't have full tawhid in your
heart, you're gonna have shirk in it.
Any innovation, religious innovations, heresy. 3,
remembrance,
all of Allah
which will vacate what? The heart from what?
Headlessness. Headlessness.
You wake up in the morning.
You enter the bathroom,
what's
You come out of running.
You change your
clothes. You
get out of the house.
You get in the car,
you see an accident.
Dick.
You're not at what?
If you don't engage in that, you're gonna
be what? Start thinking about what? Rafla. You're
gonna be you you may go to the
state of heedlessness. So how many are
those?
So what was the first?
No. Say it like said it, thou hate
which will what?
3,
4,
ta'a,
I'm sorry.
4,
sincerity,
which vacate the heart from what
showing off and and and
the whole area.
Yeah. And he he used the word
that you do things for the dunya, for
other
Sincerity,
which will vacate the heart from what?
And the final one is
Obedience
which will vacate your heart from disobedience.
Those are the 5 things that you must
have
in order to clear the heart from other
fives. This way you go on the day
of judgment
with a sound heart.
Okay. If you have do you want to
do questions or
yeah. I mean, if you have any questions,
Insha'Allah, we can answer those. So maybe the
machey can join me.
How do you do what?
You can use the same
The sound heart is the heart that is
protected
from
shirk
by
implementing tawheed.
From by
implementing the sunnah.
From heedlessness
by constant remembrance of Allah.
From showing off and hypocrisy, by being sincere
and truthful.
And from sinning,
by engaging in the obedience of Allah. That's
how
aqalb Salim is
now.
Definitely.
We're done. Right?
Oh, more questions?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You see, there are
beside the parents,
I think your point of contention here is
the parents are good people.
So so so they
obviously,
they have protected the fitra of the child.
But this is if you assume that the
only influence on the fitra
is only the parents,
is the environment, and you have a shayateen.
Hadith
Muslim.
Allah
says
I created all my slaves
monotheists.
So you still have the devils,
the insinuation of shaitan
that has access to the too.
So it's not just the parents.
Also,
could
lead to that.
Also,
following the, beside the parents.
And where do we get this? There is
a reference actually to, to this
This is actually where they refer that this
is the covenant of that Allah made with
all of us.
Am I not your Lord?
We said what?
Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala mentioned
the three reasons that can take that away.
Heedlessness.
This is 1. 2,
That we followed our fathers.
Right?
This is why Allah
out of his absolute
justice, he doesn't hold us accountable
according to the fitra. He hold us accountable
according to what?
Receiving what?
A messenger.
That is why there is a mention of
of of the man, Allah,
showing him the signs,
which should resurrect his fitra, which got corrupted
because of the parents, because of the heedlessness,
but yet he
To answer your question in a nutshell,
the parents are not the only
influence.
Okay.
Okay. You you use two lines here.
You're equating the with Al Qadr. Is that
what you mean?
So you're saying that
my fitra
already Allah wrote that it's gonna be bad.
Exactly. Definitely.
Now I wanna ask you a question.
Do you know what Allah wrote regarding your
fitra?
You don't.
Now you have
2 ways to go,
to protect,
preserve that fitra,
to enhance it with the revelation,
or to neglect it
until it becomes corrupt,
which one should you take? Which one should
you do?
Okay.
That's what you should do
so you can affect the fitra there.
You see, we don't know what Allah destined
for our fitras,
But Allah sent us a messenger
teaching us
through the revelation
how to protect that fitra,
how to
keep it sound.
Yeah.
Brother, just a clarification, by the way.
The hadith that you're referencing, I believe, does
not mention fitra,
but
on what he was created.
And I believe, and I could be wrong,
it's mumqati. There is a break between zohri
and abudardah, just as a point.
wrong.
wrong.
