			fill out on, Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala shallot Willem be able
mousseline Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala it was a new Salam just live in Cathedral.
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:24
			My brothers and sisters, we continue with our topic of the three voices that speak to us and what to
do about them.
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:41
			Over the last two weeks, I spoke about the first of them which is the voice of shaytan. Today we
will speak about the second voice, which in a way is even more dangerous. That is the voice of our
own self, our own laughs our own desire.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:01:00
			The word knifes is an Arabic word which occurs in the Quran, literally meaning self. And it has been
translated, and it has other meanings, psyche, ego, soul, desire, the breath that we take in and out
all of these
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			in the context of this and also the context of the way
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:13
			this word has been used in the Quran most of the time, we will take the meeting meaning as desire,
Abdullah Allah
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:31
			in the last on the Lanois reported, that was also salam said none of you can have faith until his
desires comply with what I have brought. And this is in also in
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:37
			in mama no is our vein on over here 40 Hadith
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			I repeat Abdullah
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:52
			the Allahu Anhu Omar reported that also like I said, I've said, None of you can have faith until his
desires comply with what I have brought
		
00:01:54 --> 00:02:15
			second heavies and has been barely caught the Alon reported that also Eliza Salam said, the son of
Adam grows old. But two desires in him remain young. The desire for wealth and the desire for life.
And this is in Sahih Muslim.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:03:06
			I remember myself I knew that Islam is the name of a practice not the name of a theory or philosophy
or theology, the nimo practice, the one who practices Islam is a Muslim, not the one who only knows
about Islam, but does not practice our eternal fate will be decided on the day of judgment based on
what we did, not on what we knew. It is important to know because without correct knowledge, we
cannot practice Islam correctly. The purpose of acquiring knowledge is not for its own sake, but so
that we can practice our religion. Practice starts with wanting to practice and that is why the
right desire to please Allah subhanaw taala by following the sun now verses are nice and Salem is so
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:07
			critical and so important.
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:24
			It is essential for us to recognize our desire and see what it is trying to lead us towards and to
correct that focus so that we can hope for ALLAH SubhanA wa Janas forgiveness and for Jana, I ask
Allah subhanaw taala for Jana, for all of us.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:51
			It is the nature of the self the nature of knifes to lead towards sin. Allah subhanaw taala told us
in the words that usually Salaam in sort of Joseph, those we live in a shutdown regime. Well now
Albury will never see in enough Salah Amara to be su Illa Hemara be in Arab be affordable Rahim
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:11
			is when he said he says and I do not seek to free myself from blame. I don't say I am not. I shall
not be blamed. I cannot be blamed or I'm free from that. He says I do not seek to free myself from
blame For indeed, the sole enough's is ever inclined to evil. The self is ever inclined to evil.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:16
			Except those shown mercy by my
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:23
			gelato surely, my rub is all Forgiving and most Merciful.
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:47
			Anyone who thinks that this cannot happen to him must remember that this is useful for a Salam
speaking. If he says this about his knifes there is nobody living today who can say that he or she
is more pious and stronger and more blessed and protected than the enemy of Allah. Yusuf alayhi
salam, if he used when he Salam saw his knifes as a danger. What must we do?
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:51
			This is in a way the law of entropy
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:59
			to be stronger, faster, more physically and mentally fragile to gain knowledge or skills
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:30
			To have a good marriage or children, in short to have anything of value, we need to make effort. If
we do nothing, we get nothing. We just get weaker and slower and more disconnected with the world
and more stupid and so on. Our nature is to regress to slide down the slope. To be inclined towards
sin doesn't mean that it is good. It is what will happen if we don't take steps to prevent it. The
good news is that all of this is preventable.
		
00:05:31 --> 00:06:19
			To prevent us from slipping, Allah subhanaw taala sent his book and his messenger SallAllahu Sallam
and commanded us to obey Him and follow Him in all aspects of life. We spoke about Chetan deception
and that and that Allah subhanaw taala told us that shaytan has no power over us. He can only
whisper and tempt, but he cannot force us to disobey Allah. The neffs however, is a part of us. In
Ramadan, Shayateen are chained, but the knifes is free. The nerves does whatever we have trained it
to do. That is why childhood conditioning and raising children is so important. A child is never too
young to learn. Children learn from the time they open their eyes.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:38
			We fool ourselves that children don't understand then we are horrified at what we taught them. Even
if inadvertently, if we have been trained to be obedient to Allah subhanho wa Taala The nurse will
be inclined towards obedience. If not, it will guide us toward appeals to it and that is sin.
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:56
			Then x is the animal part of our being that's the mammal speaking and is drawn to what all animals
are drawn towards which is excess in physical pleasure, gluttony, overeating, all kinds of
addictions
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:18
			whether it is drink or it is drugs, or it is * or whatever, the desire to have the biggest and
shiniest and fastest and whatnot are all signs of the rule of the knifes. Just look at our
advertising today see who the so called influencers, the social icons, the role model the society
are
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:25
			and you can see what is happening and what we are being mindsphere towards.
		
00:07:26 --> 00:08:07
			We are a society where a pop singer or actor is paid more for a single performance than a teacher
earns in an entire career in their own lifespan. And yet, we lament how society is becoming more and
more corrupt. Remember my brother and sister the truest rule of life is you only get what you pay
for. You only get what you pay for. Just look at your life. And you will see how true that is. The
sooner we wake up to this, the sooner we will change. That is why Allah subhanho wa Taala ordered us
to enter Islam completely. Not partially.
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:35
			Allah Subhana Allah said yet a un Lavina Armano Oda holo fissile mica fatten wala dot w hu to RT
Shaitan in the whole locker room, Adobo movie, Allah subhanho data set which means all believers
enter Islam wholeheartedly and completely and do not follow Satan's footsteps. Surely He is your
sworn enemy, your clear enemy.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:46
			Out problem globally is selective obedience. Selective obedience is disobedience. Selective
obedience is arrogance.
		
00:08:47 --> 00:08:52
			Somebody told me this so called funny incident that happened to him he was traveling
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55
			on
		
00:08:57 --> 00:09:03
			I think it was Emirates or something. And there was a guy sitting next to him.
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:11
			And they introduced themselves so he knew that this person was a Muslim. But when the drinks cart
came, this person
		
00:09:13 --> 00:09:30
			asked for foreign he got alcohol and he was drinking. And then when the food came, the man is
asking, Is this halal? either submit Is it is it haram and this is what we have done. We have we
choose the pick and choose.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:49
			Now, what is the result of that? Allah subhanaw taala wonders very clearly. Allah said Allah told me
no now we've added Gita we will talk for Runa be bad for lodges Oh my Yeah, if I do that he come in
come in his urine fill higher. Dunya
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			we're your alma mater, Euro Duna ILA a shot deal other one Allah who we have our feeling I'm Dharma
loon.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:07
			Allah's route that has said, Do you believe in some of the scriptures something from the book and
reject the rest? You pick and choose selective obedience?
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:26
			Is there any reward for those who do so among you other than disgrace in this worldly life and being
subjected to the harshest punishment on the day of judgment for Allah subhanaw taala is never
unaware of what you do.
		
00:10:28 --> 00:10:35
			And let's rather use the word Jessa in a sarcastic way, reward is punishment in this dunya and yaka
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:42
			reward or what have selective obedience, picking and choosing Islam is a practice,
		
00:10:43 --> 00:10:57
			which like all practices, benefits, only those who follow it completely partial practice is not only
useless but harmful. It does wake up and take real benefit from this beautiful, divine blessing
called Islam.
		
00:10:58 --> 00:11:09
			How tragic that those who are given Islam as a gift, seem to have so little value for it. We pick
and choose instead of benefiting from what Allah subhanaw taala chose for us.
		
00:11:12 --> 00:11:15
			We angered him by rejecting His gifts.
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:27
			When we are being warned not to follow footsteps, it means that the one who made the footsteps is
not present.
		
00:11:28 --> 00:11:59
			This means that we are solely responsible for walking that path and cannot blame it on the one who
we chose to follow. And that is why shaitan will wash his hands on the responsibility of misleading
those who chose to follow him and will say cover Sally shaitan is calling it the call allele in
Sonic for phylum Guevara. Carla, anybody who mean in the a half Allah has been I mean,
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:01
			another that has it
		
00:12:02 --> 00:12:06
			like shaytan when he laws someone to disbelieve.
		
00:12:07 --> 00:12:16
			Then after they have done that, he will say on the Day of Judgment, I have absolutely nothing to do
with you. Anybody who may
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:22
			have nothing to do with you. I truly fear Allah, the rub of the words.
		
00:12:24 --> 00:12:29
			And of course he also is blind. But meaning he doesn't feel if he if he feared Truly,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:32
			He will not be doing what he's doing.
		
00:12:33 --> 00:12:35
			So what do you say about those who follow Him?
		
00:12:36 --> 00:13:08
			We cannot say we didn't know. He cannot say we will not want let us step back from the brink before
we go over and then nothing can stop us. And that is called the Farah Dawa. To repent and return to
Allah subhanaw taala if not, then Allah subhanaw taala declared his judgment for those who follow
the enough's and those around them as it is other than for God are eita money, Taka Illa who Hawa
under the Khun Riley, he will Kyla, Allah said have you seen
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:14
			profit or Nabi SallAllahu sallam, the one who has taken
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:21
			his or her own desires as their God?
		
00:13:22 --> 00:13:33
			Have you seen those who have taken their own desires as their God? Their worship their desires? Will
you then be a keeper over them? Will you then make
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:42
			Shabbat for them? Will you then intercede for them? Will you become their advocate? What is that?
What is the tone of that? It means do not do that?
		
00:13:43 --> 00:14:04
			Don't intercede for them. Don't seek forgiveness for them. Do not be their advocate for who for
those who have taken their desire as the God as worshiping God. And let's round that up called
following the knifes over his command, worship of the knobs and ordered his messenger SallAllahu
Sallam not to intercede for that person
		
00:14:06 --> 00:14:09
			is the ship where you are making yourself sherek
		
00:14:10 --> 00:14:12
			you are associating and
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:19
			and making your own desire and the equal to Allah subhanaw taala.
		
00:14:20 --> 00:14:30
			What can be a more severe warning than this, that it is time to change ourselves? The final buyer.
The final point about the novices
		
00:14:32 --> 00:14:35
			that all desires
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:37
			are transient,
		
00:14:38 --> 00:14:41
			temporary and short lived and quickly depreciate
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:43
			all desires
		
00:14:44 --> 00:14:45
			anything
		
00:14:47 --> 00:15:00
			new is exciting, but the excitement wears off rapidly. For those who are grateful it lasts a bit
longer. But it is never at the first day for sure level. Just reflect on any
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:07
			A wonderful experience that you had in life. first new car, you sit there you breathe in, you get
the smell of the upholstery and so on right?
		
00:15:08 --> 00:15:11
			first new car, for the first time you fly first class.
		
00:15:15 --> 00:15:18
			Find anything you enjoy anything that you really, you know, love or love.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:26
			First time you saw that the first time experience that is not the same, the second time,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:29
			our German decreases our nature,
		
00:15:31 --> 00:15:34
			our enjoyment decreases, and it becomes mundane.
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:50
			That is why we have the term Been there done that. That is why the Nerf seeks access, or newer
experiences more and more varied. Often going off into the realm of the bizarre or even freaky.
		
00:15:51 --> 00:15:56
			This is what is happening around us in society all over the world which rapidly slides
		
00:15:57 --> 00:16:04
			and rapidly seems to be sliding towards all kinds of dangers, even disgusting things in the name of
new experiences.
		
00:16:05 --> 00:16:11
			As people today about their aspiration, then you get to hear statements which reflect the greed
mindset, more is better.
		
00:16:13 --> 00:16:29
			We don't take lessons from those who went before us whose normal was a million times bigger than our
wildest dream. But who still left it all behind and went alone and naked, to give account to Allah
subhanaw taala.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:31
			Let me give you some examples.
		
00:16:35 --> 00:16:36
			How big is your dream house?
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			Now think about think about this. King James the third.
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:55
			His home is Buckingham Palace. One of them the others. Buckingham Palace and Buckingham Palace has
775 rooms.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:01
			And it's spread over 830,000 square feet.
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:06
			What were you thinking? Are you thinking Remo.
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:22
			And if you think that is big, then think about this Versailles Palace, built by Louie the 13th then
extended by Sunday the 14th 16th. He too, has 2300 rooms.
		
00:17:26 --> 00:17:29
			Yet the hole in the ground,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:31
			which is the doorway
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			to our eternal life to the Accra is the same for everyone.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			And we go into it alone without anything that we had in his life.
		
00:17:45 --> 00:18:06
			Contentment is to realize this early enough to stop chasing excess and focus on quality, both in
this life and the next. Quality is measured by its effect on others. Quality is not the most
expensive diamond. But instead the use of that money.
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			The money that you would have had to spend to have the most expensive diamond
		
00:18:13 --> 00:18:33
			to alleviate someone's pain, to fight oppression, to increase knowledge, to research solutions, to
accomplish great projects of ongoing benefit and to leave behind a legacy of honor. That is the
meaning of quality. Islam is not against ambition, it's against greed and excess
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:48
			possessions add cost not value. That is what the Quran and the lives of Rasul Allah is in Salem. And
the NBA was salam, which Allah told us about source.
		
00:18:50 --> 00:19:16
			It is not desired itself, which is natural and essential for us to survive, to have resilience to
progress to grow and simply to get up every day and go to work that we are against, with the passion
to accumulate material stuff, or indulge in excesses of any kind, which is so harmful than absolute
like a bottomless pit. No matter how much you put into it. It will never feel
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:36
			as soon as I said I'm wondering about this greed in the Hadith, which they say are these multiple en
la vie, the one in Bukhari and Muslim and has been Malaga the Alana reported that as well as herself
said, he was the son of Adam Alayhis Salam had a very full of gold, he would want to have to well is
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:54
			a valuable good. He would want to have two values. Nothing filled his mouth, but the dust of the
grave. May Allah protect us. Then he continues Salam Salam, Yet Allah will relent to whoever repents
to him.
		
00:19:56 --> 00:19:59
			Despite these tendencies, Allah will turn
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:16
			Words A person who turns towards the most vital data by repenting. So that is wake up. Before we are
woken up by multiple modes from this toolbar, we call living and the rest of destruction that we
call life.
		
00:20:19 --> 00:20:44
			For those who repent and return to Allah, His forgiveness is boundless. Unless there is a real love
and tab for mana wa amela Milan saw Li Han for hula Iike Ubud de la who say, to him has an ad, a can
of love or four or Rahima unless they ask for those who repent, and believe and do good deeds.
		
00:20:45 --> 00:20:50
			They are the ones whose evil deeds, Allah subhanho wa Taala would change the good deeds
		
00:20:51 --> 00:21:03
			for almost all forgiving and almost the Most Merciful and most about Allah is Most Merciful, the
Most forgiving the time to choose is now
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:20
			are we willing to sacrifice our eternal life for the sake of this transient one? Or are we going to
live this life in the beautiful way that Allah subhanaw taala chose for us and then look forward to
his work in the Accra inshallah
		
00:21:21 --> 00:21:43
			I remind myself anew, the choice is ours. Ask Allah Subhana Allah to help us to take the right to
make the right choice, which, as a result of which he will be pleased with us. We ask Allah subhanaw
taala never to be displeased with us. Was Allah Allah will Karim Allah Allah He was having made that
article
		
00:21:44 --> 00:21:46
			on him the lay of the land
