Mirza Yawar Baig – Dont follow his footsteps

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil Alameen wa Salatu was Salam ala Jarreau freedom
bi Vermouths Ali and Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa sallam, the
Sleeman Kathira and cathedra formado. My brothers and sisters.
		

			Think about it like this, that
		

			any, for any system to work for any process to work,
		

			it goes without saying, the basic fundamental
		

			principle is that that system or that process must be completed must be done in completion totally.
Right. I mean, this is so obvious and so clear that it doesn't even need anyone to actually say it.
So, for example, if you say that I am going on a diet to lose weight, then it you don't have to be
told that you must follow that diet to the tee, to the end, make sure that you eat what you are
supposed to eat.
		

			Not eat what you're not supposed to eat as long as. And if you're going to cheat on that diet,
		

			then the effect of that that will not happen, it will not benefit you. You will not you you will not
lose weight. So also if you go to the gym, and you say I want to build muscle strength, then you
follow what your coach tells you completely and totally you don't do partially, he tells you to do
you know three reps of 10 on each side and you do only one and you don't do any reps, you just do it
one time. And you say well, you know I'm going to get 1/3 of the effect no you will not you will get
no effect at all. And so on and so forth. They take any anything at all. Take for example another
very good example it easy to understand if you if you enroll for a college course if you enroll for
		

			a college course on a college degree, you will never get that degree until you complete that whole
course. Right and to get all the credits if you don't do that, if you only do have the course and
you say give me half a degree or is it possible. So the whole point is that anything is beneficial
only when it is done completely. That is the reason why Allah subhanaw taala with respect to Islam,
Allah subhanaw taala told us Yeah, you are Latina on oh the Holo fish cilmi cough button while I
thought wo hot water chateau in hola Komodo movie there are three very critical things in this ayah
first of all, the AI is addressed to the believers yeah you are living. So it is addressed to the
		

			believers it is addressed in the tour which makes it an AMA which makes it a Helcom which makes it a
law and order from Allah subhanaw taala because anything which is which begins like this any higher.
You will have your amaro beans this is a instruction and order from Allah subhanho
		

			wa Taala to rasool Allah, Allah said, oh you will believe obey Allah and obey His Rasul and obey
your leaders, so and so on and so forth. So, wherever Allah subhanaw taala says, Yeah, we will
adhere to our it is a haco. Secondly, in this particular case, the believers are addressed obviously
		

			everywhere hokum for the believer, so it is the directly the believers are being addressed. And then
a very strange thing is being said, Allah thank God colo facility kapha, enter into his lab
completely, you might say well, tell you the believers of obey Allah, whether we work or understand
why we don't do do obedience. But in this particular case, I'm already a believer Allah is saying
and turn to Islam for the meaning. The same thing which is that if Allah is saying, obey Allah and
obey the Rasul, it means that where there is a decision point, obey Allah and then also at a salon,
not your own desire. Similarly here a lacing enter into Islam completely, not partially. Right?
		

			Completely, not partially. And now Allah says the third point is lather. Toyoko Leticia, Allah says
do not follow the footsteps or shatter in the hula Komodo movie is your open and clear manifest
enemy. Now the issue of following footsteps. If the by by inference, if somebody says don't follow
in the footsteps of someone, so you can assume that that individual whose footsteps you are being
warned against is not present. Because if the person was present, then then whoever was instructing
you would say, don't follow him. Don't follow him. Don't go behind him. Don't go with him. But
because the person is not there, and only his footsteps are there. You are being told don't follow
		

			the footsteps of this person. The person himself is not there. So if you look at desire, Allah's
Martha is saying here to us that the shaitan is not in it not forcing you not compel you is not
there holding your hand and dragging you somewhere. He has walked down a path
		

			Ah but because that is a part that Cython walked on don't walk on it because it will take you to
Asia time goes which is the which is the hellfire. So Allah is saying, oh you will believe enter
into Islam completely and don't follow the forces footsteps of shatter meaning not entering Islam
completely, is tantamount to following the footsteps of shatta. Now this is a very important thing
to remember.
		

			When Chetan disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala he did not disobey Allah, every every order of Allah. He
disobeyed only one order of Allah. Right? He did not he did not even shatter. He's not an atheist
yet and believes in Allah subhanaw taala he knows Allah Subhana Allah they believe that Allah by
disobeyed Allah subhanaw taala, so shatta and did not disobey everything. He disobeyed only one
thing yet he
		

			earned for that, by that one disobedience he earned what he earned. So think about this, what do we
do when we do Partial obedience of Allah subhanaw taala that's the reason I say selective obedience
is disobedience.
		

			When we when we decide to obey Allah subhanaw taala partially what are we doing? We are saying
effectively, that there are three instructions, I will do two I will not do the third one, you are
saying this effectively by your action that I will do to and I will not do the third one to
deliberately say I will not do something which Allah has ordered us to do is cover. So that is the
reason why it is very, very important for us to keep this in mind and not fall into this trap of of
shutdown which is
		

			which is so you know, incredibly,
		

			so incredibly harmful and bad for us. Now Allah subhanaw taala mentioned this also in the Quran,
very clearly the issue of
		

			selective obedience. Allah subhanaw taala said after taught me not to be bad Kitabi will be bad for
bad Jazza who may have already come in come in luck is Yun Phil higher the dunya? Well, Yo Ma Creo
Mati you are Duna Illa Asha de la Vega, or Mala who will be live feeling I'm at a loss around at a
certain Surat Al Baqarah. Part of the last part of i 85. Do you believe in some of the Scripture
reject the rest? Are you being I being selectively obedient? Do you take some of you and you live
out the rest? 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 punishment on the day of judgment for Allah is
		

			never unaware of what you do. I think about this. This idea is not addressed to the disbelievers.
First of all, it is addressed to the believers, it is addressed to the believers who
		

			who are supposed to obey Allah subhanho data, but who decided not to well as well, or who decided to
obey Allah subhanaw taala partially. Now that is where the problem is that if you say that I will do
this, and I will do only a part of it. This is what you're saying. You're saying that you're being
selectively
		

			selective obedience, which is disobedience, and which is arrogance. Because you say that you are
saying effectively to Allah subhanaw taala, you might want me to do this, but my will is supreme
over yours. And I will not do this, I will do all these. And that's the reason why it is very
important for us to understand that if we want Islam to benefit us,
		

			then we must fulfill all the requirements of Islam, not partially right to today. This is our
problem. Our biggest problem today is not rejection.
		

			Until Avianna Guevara, we don't reject Allah subhanaw taala we don't deny Him, we are not atheists.
But we,
		

			we we obey Allah, and we follow Islam selectively. We do bits and pieces, what I like to do I do
what I don't like to do, I leave out. Now, this is something which is not acceptable, and which
Allah subhanaw taala does not like as I told you, I don't make the rules. I'm only informing you. So
therefore it is very important for us to get out of this mindset and decide to obey Allah subhanaw
taala completely and keep this in mind. If I want to graduate in the university from that course
then I have to finish the whole course. I cannot do a piece of it or expect to get get to expect to
graduate and get a degree at the end of it because there is no degree. If I don't finish the course
		

			I don't get a degree. Same thing with this job if I if I'm going to do partially, and that's where
Allah subhanaw taala said for such people who do Partial obedience. Not only will Islam not have a
positive effect, but Allah said, I will humiliate you in this life and I will put you in the
harshest punishment on the Day of Judgment. Now think about this, why the harshest believer because
we are used to this thing of at least doing something.
		

			At least something is not sufficient. This is not from Islam. This is not the
		

			Quran this is not the Sunnah I mentioned this many times before if you have to jump a 10 foot ditch
you have to jump 10 and a half feet if you jump nine feet you will be in the in the pit right you
cannot you you and you can't say well I did something at least something that at least something
will not help you that at least something still puts you in the same pit so therefore at forget is
that be something business let us focus on our lives and say what is it that I'm disobeying Allah in
and remove that from what that that's where it should be it begin with removing disobedience begin
with the stefarr of doba begin with turning towards the last one and then after that go into doing
		

			good things and better things more now I feel that God
		

			zikr and so on and so forth.
		

			But first and foremost, remove the Haram, the Haram earning haram eating a haram actions, haram
desires listening to haram sounds watching haram things all of this must come out of our lives
first, then we focus on increasing the good things right now leaving Salah is haram. Lying is haram
cheating is haram. All of this must change. And then we clean up our mess up the act. And after
that, then we say okay, now now that my life is as clean as I can get it. Now what more can I do?
How can I do to fight? Right? If you're if you are decorating your house, the first thing you do is
to clean up. There's no point in putting all kinds of fancy and expensive decorations in the house
		

			when the house is like a pigsty. You know it's full of dirt and filth. So first clean the house and
this cleaning of the house is is different though, is to deeply and genuinely regret the run that we
have done. And to change that and convert that into and clean out all that and then
		

			decorate the house of the heart with good deeds. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to help us to completely
and totally OBEY Him and not to fall into the trap of selective obedience. See, finally I want to
end with this. The IPS y'all know Hawaii Lulu mousseline. Alladhina hoomans, Allah Himself Allah de
nom you're out you're around unless we're trying to write a law the last round that I said was to
the people who pray that the the cursed or the people who pray right word are the people who pray.
Now why would you say what are the people who pray they're praying? And I say no, they are praying,
but the delay their salah, so they are saying no is not what Allah man bought me at this time, but I
		

			will come I will come at my own time at my convenience. Right. So the fact that Allah wants you now
is of no consequence, I will come when I feel like
		

			this is not acceptable. And this is something which is not only not acceptable, which which earns
instead of earning the pleasure of Allah, He does the anger of Allah. And Allah says they also pray
to show us not for the sake of Allah, but to show the people. So it's very, very important by myself
and you, let us clean up our act, because without the act, we are the problems that we face in this
life and not going to go away. If we want these problems to go, it has to begin with ourselves. It's
not a question of material things. We are we will come to that inshallah meet tomorrow's reminder.
We are so focused on material things that we forget the foundation of it, which is Allah subhanaw
		

			taala who is the creator of all that material, who is the one who puts the power in that material
for it to affect us. If we don't do that, then we cannot expect the help of Allah Samantha, we ask
Allah subhanaw taala to enable us to become obedient to Him.
