Karim Abuzaid – The journey of resilience – Hijrah
AI: Summary ©
The importance of staying loyal to religion and not violating laws is emphasized in Islam. The generation of Muslims who believes in Islam is underrepresented, and loyalty is crucial to achieving success. The importance of not wanting to change and finding ways to change is also emphasized. The need to maintain a strong heart to handle difficult situations and avoid getting into trouble is emphasized, along with the importance of actively monitoring one's behavior to achieve a free world.

My dear respected brothers and sisters in Islam,
I feel embarrassed to talk in the presence
of, fellowship Ibrahim Zidane,
But, he forced me.
He actually threatened that if I don't do
it,
I'm no. I'm just kidding.
So with his permission, inshallah, may Allah reward
him and
elevate his ranks in the.
So,
Sheikh Ibrahim
has been talking to you about,
the comparison between the salaf and the caliph.
And,
Allah
in his divine
predestination
will
decree
guided the Sahaba to choose the hijra,
to
remind us what the sacrifices
of the sacrifices of the salif.
You know,
every time the first of Il Muharram comes
by and we remember that
event
which Omar
after Shura with the companions,
the elders of the companions, and
I believe I read Ali ibn Abi Talib
suggested that
Al Hajra should be the,
marking event
of the beginning of the Islamic calendar.
Why? Because of the sacrifices,
Muslims,
made,
the first generation of Muslims,
made.
Maybe you can use the other one. Just
yeah.
And I
resided in the 2nd raka.
I think it's,
verse number 14.
Although
we know that the entire
Surat Al Tawba
Bura
chapter chapter 9 of the Quran was revealed
regarding
the battle of Tawouk,
which is the last battle the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wasallam led.
But this verse
has to do with the hijrah.
What is the relevance between the the hijrah
and this particular scene and Allah
in this particular verse?
He identified
one scene
when Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasalam
and his Sahib,
his companion
in the cave,
and the disbelievers
are about to uncover their place discover their
place and arrest them.
What this has to do with the Torah
and and the wording of the verse,
I
read this somewhere.
I think someone asked,
when was the most
vulnerable,
this is English,
moment in the history of this Umu,
when was
the weakest
moment in the history of Islam.
They tell you that moment
when the prophet was inside the cave
with Abu Bakr,
would they have
arrested them? What would they do?
The whole mission is done.
Over.
They they actually given our hands given a,
what is what is it? Bounty hunter, would
they call it? Right? Money money money money
to, Surak, the story of Surak, however.
Dead or alive, actually dead or alive. So
they wanted to kill him, and we know
the night before they wanted to kill him,
and that is why
revealed to the prophet
to,
have Ali sleep in his place, and he
will be safe and sound.
The important thing is Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
saved that religion
in the weakest moment.
Now, what this has to do with with
with Bara'aw Tawba?
Jihad at the time
was meant to rely the salah.
That is why they used to make what,
Hayalal
Jihad, like Hayalas salah.
Now, anyone who is able
to do jihad, to march,
he has no
Ama, A'raj, Marid,
these some of the excuses. He has to
go.
Now, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is addressing only
80
and some, maybe 84, I read, 80
beside the 3,
hypocrites.
The 3 are not, but
beside them who slacked, who did not want
to go and help the cause of Allah.
Look at this.
So Allah is telling
them,
Oh, he believe.
Why? What's wrong with you when it is,
when you're commanded to
march and do the work of Allah? And,
by the way,
you don't have to give,
a war context to this, you know, it
can be anything. It can be come to
the salah.
Why when it's the call to salah is
is made you you
you you're sitting on the sofa watching the
movie,
And when when you look at the Quran,
we see what the,
general meaning of the text is and we
apply it.
And but but the
the reason becomes a guiding criteria to our
understanding.
The important thing is
you you made the wrong decision.
That's a wrong decision.
If you compare this with that, just time
wise.
Is what?
Infinite.
You can give it a number. Right? If
you say we're gonna live for you can
give the number.
Duniya is what? 60, 70 more or less?
And then comes in the threat that Allah
would replace you, then comes in
what? If you don't give victory
to this
deen,
actually
because of
or give victory to the messenger of Allah.
Allah given victory to him. When? When they
expelled him out of of Makkah,
and they were in the cave and they
were about to find to
arrest them and and basically kill them.
So, the same thing goes to us,
you know. Allah is gonna help his deen,
help his religion.
Now, are you gonna be part of it
or not?
Fa
SubhanAllah,
every time
that sometimes, you know, the,
you know, the,
our, you know,
enthusiasm and work and, you know, goes there
and then comes in the hijrah.
Remind us what the sacrifices
of of this generation of Muslims,
which Sheikh Ibrahim has been inviting you to,
to follow,
to follow their way, their their path,
because this is the safest.
If you want to rectify
our condition, we have to go back to
the same thing,
which they
simply,
implemented.
Let me,
you know,
go over some of the scenes from the
hijra with you,
and I'm gonna pick and choose.
And, I have been lately, heavily,
infesting my time in writing in
The
loyalty to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Loyalty to His Messenger.
Being loyal to the religion,
and being loyal to Jama'at al Muslimeen, the
Muslims, the believers.
And denouncing
anything that contradict that.
Any ideology,
any
religion,
anything that contradict
what Allah and his messenger
and his religion,
state.
For subhan'ala what you find in hijrah,
the the migration from Makkah to Madinah,
is illustration,
is a depiction of.
You know,
SubhanAllah,
one of the, things that
we always
question and and and and and find ourselves,
puzzled with
is staying, fiyar din Mushrikeen,
staying here in the land of, disbelievers.
Violating
one of the symptoms,
signs of violating it. Well, I know the
subject is is, you know, is is is
more deep than that, so
but normally the scholars they say that if
you choose to stay amongst the, the for
no reason,
for no reason,
you're violating
because you should be where?
You should be physically
amongst the believers, but of course,
has some details which we can shed light
on. But
look at this, the Muslims at the time
were commanded
to leave their home,
their land,
and go to a place they don't know.
Think about it.
You know, you land in a new place
and you're
you know, that's I don't you feel like,
Satan is sitting on the path of the
son of Adam.
Anytime that you want to do something good,
he's gonna distract you, he's gonna detail you,
he's gonna occupy you, he's gonna,
make sure that you don't achieve it at
all or at least
you're not gonna achieve it perfectly.
Look at the first. The
first
path the son of Adam wanna take is
submitting to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Whether
Islam
submitting to the guidance,
a Muslim,
are you gonna become a Muslim?
Are you gonna follow this
teachings of salaf,
the righteous predecessors that can apply to whatever
deenak, and you live the way of your
father,
your culture,
what you were brought up with.
Reminds him with what? With the ancestors.
Look at that Abuja, he was articulating the
words of shaitan to Abu Talib.
Yeah. Abbot Talib,
the bit of death.
Are you gonna give up the way of
your father,
That's how shaitan is.
Here's the point of reference.
He disobeyed shaitan and became a Muslim. Now
after you become a Muslim,
you must be loyal. You must do hijrah.
You must migrate.
Whenever you want to migrate. And by the
way, migration here does not mean physical migration.
It could be what?
Spiritual, mental.
It it could be just deleting some
contact from that's
it can go down to that. It doesn't
have to be that thing that
to some extent here, based on your condition,
look, he would remind him with
Are you gonna migrate and you leave your
your
the the the sky that you use with
the
the the sunrise in the morning?
And the likeness, the similitude of Muhajir is
like,
you know,
a horse that you tie to,
water to
boast.
Basically, you're you're limited. You're you have a
lot of constraints. You're you're not free. You're
not
that's how a stranger is.
Likewise.
Imagine
these companions,
they did this for the sake of Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
is the one who
who said this about them.
Imagine Allah described them to be
truthful.
They left their homes,
their children,
their wealth.
I mean talking about
family,
children, read just the story of Abu Salam.
You're familiar with that story? Imagine a family
of 3
split in in 3 different places.
We know the story that when Abu Salamah
wanted to migrate, he he took his wife,
and they had a small child called Salama.
So Bani Maqazoom,
the the family of of of of Musalama,
they give them, where are you going?
You're not gonna go with our daughter.
Then,
Bani Abdul Assad, I think. Abdul Assad, the
the the kabeel, the tribe of
of
of of of of Salam,
Abu Salama, I'm sorry.
They came and took the baby, oh, you're
not gonna take our child. And Abu Salama
decided what?
Oh, I'm gonna migrate.
A family of 3.
Did did this stop Abu Salamah from doing
it?
No?
Look at this now. Look at the loyalty
of the wife,
you know, the the loyalty of the wife.
Every day,
she would go
up mountain, she cries.
I miss my son, I miss my husband,
to the extent that one of her cousins
felt sorry for her. He intervened
so that they can let her go.
This is an example
of money, wealth.
So high, take the example of
Sahayb.
Sahayb, when he was leaving Mecca, they arrested
him.
Where are you going?
He's migrating
to the prophet
They said to him,
shaluk, by the way, means poor. It doesn't
mean, you know,
You came to us,
and after you made all this money,
you're gonna leave with it?
If you if I give you the money,
all the money I have, will you let?
Giving up all his savings.
All his savings.
All his savings,
and the money in that place, go take
it.
This can only stem
out or from
being loyal. Or
as the origin of
that you love Allah.
I love Allah.
I love the deen of Allah. I love
the messenger of Allah.
You know, and I want to be I
want to be in this company.
I want to be in this company.
He was one of those
exempt from the Hijra,
But, you know, when you live amongst disbelievers,
you feel what?
You don't belong here.
You I don't belong here. This what those
people are doing with with their life. He
he felt this way.
You know, you feel the coldness.
Al imani ekwa faith is has has
warm, has,
you know, have that affection that that you
feel it.
But he felt that
he was sick laying down. He said to
his children,
put me on the in the back of
the camel.
And only 2 miles,
the angel of death comes in
to take her soul.
Soul. And if he bothered away, he did
like
this. Oh, Allah, I migrated to you. I
was trying to fulfill my.
My is my pledge,
my pledge of loyalty,
But I'm loyal to you.
Oh, Allah, this is my pledge to your
messenger.
I tried.
I tried. I tried to go.
Whoever
this verse was revealed regarding this man, whoever
migrates for the sake of Allah,
and yet
he cannot make it completely.
His reward is with Allah Subhanahu. It's exactly
like the man who killed the 100 souls.
The same exact concept,
And that tells
you the migration
occurs with the heart first. Your heart must
cover the entire distance.
Your heart must be there.
You may have some
restrictions,
limitations,
boundaries
to achieve this physically.
You you're getting that.
You may not be able, but as long
as what your heart is with
is there.
Like, you know, many many many of us
have, are, you know,
cornered with some sins, with some
shortcomings. They have a hard time
with your heart,
and Allah will enable you
to make it happen with your heart.
That's,
that you abandon,
that you leave.
All of these are examples
of,
the,
examples of of of that noble generations
of Muslims.
The first generation was
and the foremost, those who came before
Lou, I mean we we always spoke about
I mean take the example of Sadat al
Nurabiya,
Ma'am Abdulrahmanib
now, the famous story.
Just to show you
Have you ever seen in history
in history
a community
that shares half of what they have with
the immigrants?
When did this happen?
When will it happen?
You know, when people come to migrate,
these guys are gonna take our jobs. These
guys are gonna take our
resources.
You know, one of the things that really,
you know,
alert them or warn them was the,
that it's gonna be Muslim land, Muslim land,
especially when the Syrians, it's gonna be Muslim
land.
And, you know, you see you see where
they are going. Don't worry, we'll get their
children. That's I I I heard this with
my with my ears from a politician.
So they they were debating and I think
in,
I don't know, in the French or some
of these European.
So they were debating.
So
one of them complained,
these numbers are gonna turn our land into
Muslim land or a Christian land.
Don't worry, brother, we'll get their children. And
that's what's happening.
We'll get their children, and that's where the
danger is. A shadow, the important thing is
is
this generation of Muslims
is a generation that we should look up
to.
First of all,
who are the salaf?
You know,
I'm I'm sure Sheikh Ibrahim,
has
covered this thoroughly,
but who are the Salaf?
The Salaf are anyone who lived before you,
Anyone who came before you,
basically.
Your father is your salaf.
Who was the first one
to use that term salaf?
Who?
When?
Okay. Not daughter.
His granddaughter died,
the daughter of Zainab.
I'm sorry his daughter Zainab, right? Zainab,
when he said
was the first immigrant to die in Medina.
The first immigrant to die in Medina.
They buried him
when his daughter died, Zainab.
They buried her next,
and he said to her
what, join your what?
So the word salaf is a term that
refers to what?
Someone who is who came before you, who
preceded you.
But now, we know that the,
the prophet
identified
certain generation.
Certain generation into Hadith.
The best of the Muslims are what?
My generation, meaning what?
The Sahaba
3 generations.
And others.
Oh, the other hadith, the prophet sallallahu alaihi
wasallam identified
the main source.
The Ummah will divide into 73
sects. All of them are where?
And help accept?
Which one, you Rasool Allah?
So that's the source right here.
Those who believe
and implement Islam the way that I and
my companions are doing it now.
Does the salaf include
the disbelievers?
They are salaf, but that's why we we
say what? Righteous companions. The
the believers of them. Salaf al what?
Salih, the righteous of them. Because Abu Jahal
was,
Abu Lahab was from the salaf, from that
generation. Right? So anyone who lived
during this time and he believed and he
accepted,
and he was knowing of his piety and
righteousness.
This author came to my mind,
that one day he's a predecessor. He said
one day he was was sitting with
some other predecessor approached him and he said
what
How lucky these two eyes of yours who
saw the Messenger of Allah.
Yeah, and he wanna say,
I wish
I Then
he
became upset, actually. He became mad.
Said that, we were surprised, why?
The man didn't say something that is, is
it? Then he said, what?
Why do you wish to be present in
a scene?
Allah did not
will for you to be in it.
By Allah there were people actually who lived
during that time who didn't believe.
How do you know that you're not gonna
be like Abu Jahl or Abu Lahab?
Be happy with what?
With what Allah given you.
Some of us, we may and you see,
I'm I'm I'm just going right and left,
but
you you can tell. Right? I'm I'm prepared,
but, you know, I say, I'm gonna try
to entertain you In a legal way Inshallah.
Because some of sometimes I wish I lived
the time of the prophet
I wish
I would have, I would have. Actually someone
said this to Khalif.
He said this to Khalif Abu Yaman.
And, and, and he said,
I think the, the line that he used
was,
Would we have lived the time of the
prophet
would not have let him walk on earth?
Looked at him and said,
would you actually do that, Yanib Nakhil? And
he narrated to him what
what what story?
The story of of the night of Al
Azaab.
You know, the the the night when the
wind came, when when the,
they were actually digging,
themselves into the sand because it's so cold
that they can't even stand the
cold. So,
you know, that Allah sent the wind, basically.
The disbelievers
scheme and and Bani Quraayba let them down
and all of that.
So Rasul sallallahu alaihi wa sallam wanted to
know
what will they decide.
Will they stay on
with their mission
or will they
leave?
Go back to Makkah. So he wanted someone
to go and get what?
The piece of information so he can act
accordingly.
And then he calls upon his companions. Imagine
the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam makes that
call.
Who can go and bring me the news
of the people, information about what will they
decide, and he will be with me in
Jannah.
Guess what?
No one stood up.
No one stood up.
Twice,
3 times.
Then the prophet said, Khom You Hodeif.
Hodeif,
I had no choice.
Just this is just one of the scenes,
so Alek has something very interesting, is is
like and that confirms the author of of
Ali that, you know, that,
you know, although I I don't know if
it is authentic or not, when they asked
him,
what was the best sleep he ever got?
He said the night I was, you know,
in the bed of the prophet, sallallahu alaihi
wasallam, in his place.
That confirms that, Hudaifa said, when I pulled
myself out of the sand to go and,
execute the mission, the prophet
said to me,
Have you ever, felt that heat after you
come out of the shower? You know that's,
as if I'm walking in a, you know,
and
the, the weather is, is totally changed.
SubhanAllah.
I don't know how did we get here,
Ashraf Ibrahim.
So,
don't wish for what
to be,
just try to follow-up the example of the
good of them.
The example of the good of them.
This generation
of the Sahaba,
after Allah
spoke about
the,
the hypocrites
and Surah to Tawba.
And then He declared the acceptance of the
Tawba of the 3 who were truthful, then
he calls
Be like those truthful people.
Be like them.
Al
Khalaf,
is
anybody who
came after
those 3 generations of Muslims.
But now,
can you belong to the first three generations
although
you lived
beyond their time? Can you? You can.
By following what?
Their
methodology
of understanding
and implementing the Quran and this one.
And that's why why
we insist on using that,
Why do we insist on that? Because everyone
claims that they follow Quran and Sunnah.
Any, of, of all the sects, the Sufi,
the extreme,
the Madia,
they they say full Quran and sunnah. But
Quran and sunnah based on understanding of who?
Your understanding.
Based on the understanding of who? Of the,
3rd generation of Muslims
and their,
students and the students of their students.
I think I'm gonna rest my case here.
I'm feeling a little bit,
tired. Maybe we can take some questions Insha'Allah.
But again,
it's a reminder of of
of of this generation, the hijrah.
The hijra comes
to remind us
of the 1st generation of Muslims.
You know, I I read in
That when they asked
who
was 80 years old,
Why are you still fighting? Why are you
still in the battlefield?
You know what is the Abu Ayub is
buried, right? Where is, where is his,
where is he buried?
Turkey.
Turkey.
And and he was at the age of
80, so they asked him why are you
doing this?
Allah said Allah didn't say as long as
you're able to.
And I'll take maybe some questions if you
have any questions. If not,
then I'm free, inshallah.
There is no weird questions. All questions are
good.
Like, if
some person
come from a different sect and join, join
now a different sect,
Like,
I don't know if it's a sect or
not, like
if
I was on a different,
sect and now joining
the sect of the
that I feel like is more close to
the Kitaboo Sunnah,
And still
I am following a little bit of that
sect and this sect.
Is it good? Or we should stick with
1 sect? Okay. What secs and what secs?
Yeah.
Like,
I would I would not. Liberal? I would
not. Like, I was with the,
with the more
Liberal? Yeah. I was
Progressive?
Smiley.
Yeah. Yeah. Got you. Got you. Alright. And
then I transferred to I don't know if
it's a sec or
a jama.
I think I understood your question. Yeah. Yeah.
You don't have to I mean,
I got the essence of your question.
Well, there is no you see, Islam is
1,
you know, and this is one of the
interesting,
allegations that the people have with the,
with that hadith,
that the Ummah will divide into 83,
I'm sorry,
73 sects.
All of them are in * except 1.
So one of the points that the people
are making, you wanna tell me that only
one group of the Ummah is right?
Look, if you are right and I'm right,
why do we make 2 groups?
We should
be
we should be
Muhammad. There is no two rights here.
There is no two rights.
Or, or the hadith
regarding rulings on, on branches of the religion,
when you do istihad,
and you
you you hit the right call, the right
verdict, you get what?
And if you make mistake,
so if you see differing on on issues
that are not
of the roots of the religion, of the
foundation of the religion,
we're not talking about the foundation here.
There is no disagreement or any
two opinions in it.
Like when somebody asks you, should I go
to the grave and and invoke the dead?
They tells you, oh, there are 3 opinions.
There is no such a thing.
Yeah. You could say 3 opinions regarding this
and that, but it doesn't mean 3 opinions
are correct. There is only one correct opinion.
You need to understand that. This is very
important. One correct opinion.
But based on your intention,
if you hit the right one, you get
2.
And if you mistakenly go with the wrong
one, you get what?
But if your intention is what?
It's the right heart. That there is no
such I take here and I take there.
The truth is what?
Is 1.
There is no such a thing.
You know,
individuals
who are astray from
the Quran and the Sunnabi's, on the understanding
of of the Sahaba and their students and
the students of their students,
we should not
even consider them
having any truth at all.
We should just align ourselves with
Basically, I'm just trying to picture the moment
that, Abu Bakr Sadegh,
he was next to prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi
wa sallam.
And when the moment comes
that he realized that they're gonna be exposed,
which means that they're gonna be arrested and
gonna be killed. Mhmm.
As a human being,
I understand that he will be full of
fear.
Mhmm. But prophet salallahu alaihi wasalam he said,
don't get sad.
So subhanAllah,
he has different feeling.
As the rest of the human being.
And this
is back to your to your point that
I said, Hazar in the Kalb. Yeah. SubhanAllah,
he was not
having the feeling that I am having.
That this is the moment that I'm gonna
die.
He was sad
of this is the moment of separation with
Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. No. Just
to,
inshallah, just a minute. Just to add to
the,
This
is the essence of, tawakkul.
Can you imagine the amount of planning
the prophet put for the hijra, sallallahu, sallallahu?
Can can you look at the planning here?
Genius plan.
He even, you know,
got the help of a non Muslim,
who's expert in
in in in routings,
in desert routings, and all of that.
Asma brings the food,
who else brings the, the the the the
the sheep to
Umhu Afar Asma.
Planning out of what? I'm gonna overnight here,
gonna change the route.
You exhausted your means,
Allah didn't make it work, halas.
That's the feeling the prophet had.
The prophet did not go out there to
the mountain and say, okay, I'm, I rely
on Allah and come capture. No.
No. So,
that's how we should do,
and that's sometimes we we put a lot
of resources in something, but it doesn't work.
There must be a wisdom.
A couple of question. 1 is like, you're
talking about this. You said this is the
most,
you know, chances, difficult,
weakest
point in the religion of Islam. How about
at the time of battle of Badr when
Nabi himself
making dua? If you
help does not come, you know, there will
be nobody to remember your name. That's that's
an assessment.
Right. The second my question, can you elaborate
elaborate
this? Plus second question
that,
you know, like,
about the,
sorry. I'm just I forgot the question.
This is also important. Yes. You said that
can you elaborate that heart has to travel
before the body is submitted? Like, heart has
to be completely submitted before
the body, you know, get to that level
of strength, you know, that start submit, you
know. Can you elaborate this also, you know?
Like migration, immigration of heart.
When I when I,
when I said the,
the the most or the weakest moment, it's
really, you know,
an assessment of
of scholars. It's not something that is, you
know, in in the religion.
There is no text that says that, so
I just wanna clarify that. So
I think Mohammed al Ghazali is the one
who who suggested that. Not the the old
Al Ghazali, we have a new Ghazali who
died
Egyptian Ghazali who died recently.
You see the the heart is the king
of your body.
And like we mentioned,
that
your loyalty to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala originates
from the heart,
which is the fuel,
which is the love.
I love Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. I love
Rasulullah.
I love the religion of Allah. I love
the believers.
So I wanna be with them.
When I
brought this up, I spoke about this man,
old man.
You know, we when you live in a
in
a shirk,
in an environment of shirk,
your heart feels strangeness.
You're a stranger. Your heart doesn't feel right.
There's something wrong with your heart.
And and the reason why, by the way,
because you have to
consistently
condemn.
Actually, the verb should be abhor.
Detest
what you see all the time
to maintain the soundness of that heart. You're
getting that.
Because
if you live in an environment that is
not religious based,
faith based,
all what he sees what?
Violations of Allah's boundaries.
Whether you see * or whether you see
some people drinking, some people smoking,
Now you're gonna look at that.
Now your heart has to act because, unfortunately,
now
or or at that time, you can't use
your
tongue, or you can't use what?
Mahat. Mahat, you have to change it. You
have to change that. You're getting there. You
have to change it. If you don't change
it, it's gonna get to what?
To your heart. So your heart always living
well, I hate that, I hate that,
I hate, otherwise it, it's not gonna work.
Your heart will gradually work.
Mahwah, always remember this.
There there are 2 domains.
The domain of being what resolute,
determined. This is haram. It's tough for Allah.
Shaytan, by the way, he likes you to
take he likes to take you to what
another, another domain which is what,
maybe.
Let's think about it.
Who who who fallen into this?
Who?
Adam.
Adam
was was commanded what?
Not what?
No. Not to eat. The the the world
is what?
Not to come near it.
So that was what? That's the domain that
you have to maintain.
This is haram astaghfirullah.
I'm not gonna go there.
Sheykhal came and he he made what? He
made him what?
Entertain the idea.
I I just wanna show it to you.
And and he given it to what? Shadrachul.
If, by the way, if somebody eats from
it. He didn't say that you you you
you
you you you will know. The the tree
he called the tree what? The tree of
immortality, or the tree of eternity that when,
when you take something from it, you're gonna
live what?
And you're gonna be a king.
But he he he moved Adam from where?
And that's what, by the way, what, by
the way, all the work of the LPGT
now is to achieve that.
For your information.
To turn
people
to be like the wife of Lot.
What was the sin of wife Lot?
Don't tell me that she was stuck for
Allah.
Impossible to the wife of Prophet steal, but
her heart was was was in that area,
was that in that domain.
In that domain.
Not that, that, that determined domain.
The what?
The
wishy washy.
And
something so amazing in this story that when
Allah commanded Lut
to exit town,
what did he say to them?
Don't what?
Who looked behind?
Because her heart was not her her heart
already looked behind her heart. That goes out.
Her heart was not there. Her heart was
where?
Yeah.
When when when you live in that environment,
you
feel it it's it's not very comfortable.
It's not very comfortable.
That's why, you know, subhanAllah,
you know,
sometimes you just like to be in your
own little,
because out there is is is is crazy.
It affects the heart.
Maybe I said this a couple of times
but
if your heart doesn't detest, doesn't hate, doesn't
resent
what you see, what you hear.
Your heart will gradually
engage,
change, will shift.
And, where do we validate this?
Fittations
are presented to the heart one after another.
The hearts will be to the.
The first heart, the heart is what?
No. No. No. No. No. No.
We read that,
Ibn Taymiyyah used to say to his student,
Do not let your heart be like a
sponge,
but it should be like what?
A glass. When the fitna comes, what happens
to the fitna? Deflects.
You're done. Heart is what?
But when
sphinges what?
Sponge is what?
Maybe these guys are right.
You know what, they are free.
It's a free world.
Gradually,
gradually,
gradually.
That's
how weird you you you you live in
in this environment, that's why it's not fun.
It's
not fun there either, you know. It's all
over the
place, law and law and law. Did we
answer?
Yeah.
Alright.
How we can know our demand is, like,
when we are not responding? Can you elaborate
this one also? Like, how it can be
the disease
we have it, you know, and,
who are among us? Can we what are
the symptoms and can you little bit elaborate
for us, you know, like a battle of
taboo? Any any trial or test coming up?
You know,
just something that came to my mind when
when I read hadith Ka'b al Malik.
That Kaab, when he narrated his story
after he given up on the,
possibility of joining the army,
They they traveled a long way out, and
there is no way he's gonna make it.
So he said, I while they are in
Tabuk,
I would walk out
of my house. I only see what
women,
children,
or or
or hypocrites.
It's like you you know, that's exactly what
I I don't belong here.
That's not my,
you know, you you have to feel this
way. You have to feel this way. I
don't belong here. You know? I that's not
my environment. That's not my place.
You
know?
The important thing here is is
you you your heart
must be,
active,
in this manner.
I go back to your question, you know,
there are certain guidelines in Islam,
you know.
Always,
measure yourself, the detectors.
Are you fulfilling the obligations?
Are you praying 5 times a day? Are
you keeping up?
Are you staying away from the Haram?
All of these are, you know, detectors to
your iman, to your faith.
Of course, there's that extra mile that, you
know, you wanna give da'wah, you wanna change
the environment around you, you wanna,
you know, which is something that we always
have to work on, inshallah.
But all of these are indications. Yeah?
But
we have voluntary,
which can
complement your iman and increase your iman,
and actually,
grant you that rank of being loved by
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
my sleeve will not find anything that will
bring him closer to me than the mandatory,
then
he will keep doing voluntary
and
so on so forth.
Until I love him.
