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

My brothers and sisters,

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

I intended to talk to you about today

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

the most important thing

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

in our life, which is that

00:00:24--> 00:00:27

of achieving and attaining and gaining and getting

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

the forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Nakfirah.

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

There are only 2

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

things which can be called is

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

something which

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

the absence of which will cause harm.

00:00:45--> 00:00:46

It's not something which you like to have.

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

It's something that if you don't have it,

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

it will kill you or it will cause

00:00:50--> 00:00:51

you some major damage.

00:00:52--> 00:00:53

This is the rule.

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

Now in that context, there are only 2

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

the rule yats of the human being.

00:00:59--> 00:01:00

1 is Hidayah,

00:01:01--> 00:01:02

is guidance in this life

00:01:03--> 00:01:05

and 2 is Maghfara when he dies.

00:01:06--> 00:01:08

Is forgiveness of Allah

00:01:08--> 00:01:09

Everything else is

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

not daroori.

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

We need help, we need, wealth, we need

00:01:14--> 00:01:16

food, we need children, we need families and

00:01:16--> 00:01:18

whatnot and whatnot. But none of those are

00:01:18--> 00:01:21

the rules. If somebody does not have that,

00:01:21--> 00:01:23

if somebody is sick and remain sick all

00:01:23--> 00:01:24

their lives and dies, they will not go

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

to Jannah.

00:01:25--> 00:01:27

If somebody has no money and dies in

00:01:27--> 00:01:29

a state of poverty, they won't go to

00:01:29--> 00:01:29

Jannah

00:01:30--> 00:01:31

and so on and so on and so

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

on.

00:01:32--> 00:01:34

But if somebody dies without Hidayah,

00:01:34--> 00:01:35

without Islam,

00:01:36--> 00:01:37

that's it.

00:01:38--> 00:01:41

If somebody has Islam, but the way he

00:01:41--> 00:01:42

or she

00:01:43--> 00:01:46

lives that Islam or fails to live that

00:01:46--> 00:01:47

Islam and they do not gain

00:01:48--> 00:01:50

the forgiveness of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when

00:01:50--> 00:01:51

they meet them,

00:01:52--> 00:01:54

there is no hope after that.

00:01:55--> 00:01:57

So he died in his life and

00:01:58--> 00:01:59

when we

00:02:01--> 00:02:03

die. The question is not about them. The

00:02:03--> 00:02:04

question is about me.

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

Because I'm alive.

00:02:08--> 00:02:09

That is why

00:02:12--> 00:02:13

the Sahaba used to say

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

and,

00:02:15--> 00:02:17

Abdullah bin Masood Al Anhu

00:02:17--> 00:02:19

is one of the famous ones. He used

00:02:19--> 00:02:21

to say, follow those who are dead

00:02:23--> 00:02:26

because they have achieved. So if they died

00:02:26--> 00:02:29

on iman, alhamdulillah, Allah forgave them, they are

00:02:29--> 00:02:30

on the right path. They are safe.

00:02:32--> 00:02:34

But those who are alive,

00:02:34--> 00:02:35

we don't know.

00:02:36--> 00:02:38

So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala for

00:02:38--> 00:02:41

forgiveness. And this is the the the dua

00:02:41--> 00:02:42

that our mother

00:02:46--> 00:02:47

increase her

00:02:47--> 00:02:48

and be pleased with her.

00:02:49--> 00:02:50

She asked Rasoulas Salam

00:02:51--> 00:02:53

this specific question with respect to.

00:02:55--> 00:02:56

She said,

00:02:58--> 00:02:58

if

00:02:59--> 00:03:00

I happen to find

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

if

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

I happen to find

00:03:05--> 00:03:07

what should I ask Allah? What dua should

00:03:07--> 00:03:08

I make?

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

And he taught her the dua which all

00:03:11--> 00:03:12

of us know.

00:03:29--> 00:03:31

You are the one who forgives.

00:03:31--> 00:03:33

You like to forgive. You are the forgiver.

00:03:34--> 00:03:36

You like to forgive, so forgive me.

00:03:36--> 00:03:38

See the see the beauty of this dua.

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

We have to reflect on

00:03:41--> 00:03:42

the language.

00:03:43--> 00:03:46

The Arabic language is difficult, I know, but

00:03:46--> 00:03:48

it is a miracle in itself.

00:03:50--> 00:03:52

See this Dua. This Dua is not saying,

00:03:52--> 00:03:53

allah, forgive me because

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

because

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

yeah. You like to forgive,

00:03:59--> 00:04:00

so please yourself.

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

It makes you happy, so be happy.

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

You like to forgive, so forgive me.

00:04:08--> 00:04:10

See the see the the the the this

00:04:10--> 00:04:13

is the essence of. Yeah. I don't exist.

00:04:14--> 00:04:17

I'm asking you, Arab, you do something with

00:04:17--> 00:04:17

me.

00:04:22--> 00:04:24

Right? Think about this.

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

Forgiveness.

00:04:27--> 00:04:29

There is a beautiful story

00:04:29--> 00:04:30

about this man

00:04:31--> 00:04:33

who was in the time of Musa alaihi

00:04:33--> 00:04:35

salaam. And Rasulullah mentioned this story in the

00:04:35--> 00:04:36

hadith behind this.

00:04:37--> 00:04:40

Now this man was so evil, so bad,

00:04:40--> 00:04:43

and he was so troublesome, such a big

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

nuisance to everybody that eventually

00:04:45--> 00:04:47

the people of the town, they threw him

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

out of town.

00:04:48--> 00:04:50

They they vanished him. He said, get out

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

of here.

00:04:51--> 00:04:53

So this man now is on his own.

00:04:53--> 00:04:55

He's in the wilderness somewhere and,

00:04:56--> 00:04:58

nothing happened to him and so so forth.

00:04:58--> 00:04:59

No one to take care of him. He

00:04:59--> 00:05:00

died.

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

Allah

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

sent Wahi to Musa alai Salam

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

and Allah

00:05:06--> 00:05:08

said that man which all of you throw

00:05:08--> 00:05:10

away, throw out from here, expelled him,

00:05:10--> 00:05:12

he has died in such as a place.

00:05:13--> 00:05:14

Go and do

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

his

00:05:16--> 00:05:17

and make his

00:05:17--> 00:05:18

and bury him.

00:05:20--> 00:05:21

Who is being sent through that?

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

Alaihi Salam. One of the greatest of the

00:05:26--> 00:05:27

prophets.

00:05:28--> 00:05:30

Not only that Allah says

00:05:30--> 00:05:31

to him,

00:05:31--> 00:05:34

announce it in the town that whoever accompanies

00:05:34--> 00:05:36

you, Allah will forgive all of them.

00:05:40--> 00:05:42

So obviously, the whole town now goes there.

00:05:43--> 00:05:45

They find the body of the man. They

00:05:45--> 00:05:46

do his.

00:05:47--> 00:05:50

They bury him. Musa alaihi salami is dua.

00:05:50--> 00:05:51

All of these people pray behind him.

00:05:52--> 00:05:53

When all of this is over and then

00:05:53--> 00:05:55

Musa alaihi salami is

00:05:56--> 00:05:58

he had this relationship with Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:05:58--> 00:05:59

Ta'ala.

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

So Musa Alai Salam said, yeah, Rab, I

00:06:02--> 00:06:03

did everything you told me to do. You

00:06:03--> 00:06:05

saw this. Now tell me why.

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

What is this thing? Because this man was

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

such a big nonsense, such a big nuisance.

00:06:10--> 00:06:13

We threw him out. And not only do

00:06:13--> 00:06:15

you send me to make his jannah, you

00:06:15--> 00:06:17

tell everyone to go and you forgive everybody.

00:06:17--> 00:06:19

Good for us but why?

00:06:22--> 00:06:22

Allah

00:06:22--> 00:06:23

said, Musa,

00:06:24--> 00:06:26

listen carefully and reflect on this.

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

Allah

00:06:28--> 00:06:31

said, yeah, Musa, when he was lying there

00:06:31--> 00:06:33

alone, there's no one there

00:06:34--> 00:06:36

And he cannot move. Whatever happened to him,

00:06:36--> 00:06:38

he was, you know, dying last

00:06:39--> 00:06:40

minutes of his life.

00:06:40--> 00:06:42

He said he called to me and he

00:06:42--> 00:06:43

said, if I

00:06:45--> 00:06:45

knew

00:06:47--> 00:06:48

if I knew

00:06:49--> 00:06:51

that by punishing me,

00:06:51--> 00:06:52

it would increase

00:06:53--> 00:06:55

your rank by an iota, I would not

00:06:55--> 00:06:57

seek seek forgiveness.

00:06:57--> 00:07:00

If I knew that by punishing me, it

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

would increase your

00:07:02--> 00:07:04

jalal and your jamal and your rank even

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

by an iota,

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

I would not seek forgiveness.

00:07:09--> 00:07:10

Then he says, oh, Arab.

00:07:11--> 00:07:14

If I knew that by punishing me, it

00:07:14--> 00:07:17

would make you happy even by an iota,

00:07:18--> 00:07:19

slightly happy.

00:07:19--> 00:07:21

I would not seek forgiveness. I would say,

00:07:21--> 00:07:22

like, punishment.

00:07:22--> 00:07:25

But I know that by punishing me, it

00:07:25--> 00:07:27

will not increase your and

00:07:28--> 00:07:29

you will not be happy.

00:07:29--> 00:07:31

So forgive me. So

00:07:31--> 00:07:33

Allah says I forgive him.

00:07:35--> 00:07:37

Now that is not the bottom line of

00:07:37--> 00:07:39

the story. The bottom line of the story

00:07:39--> 00:07:41

is who gave this man this tophir to

00:07:41--> 00:07:42

make this dua?

00:07:45--> 00:07:47

How did you get this from where?

00:07:48--> 00:07:49

This is our app.

00:07:51--> 00:07:53

That is why he said in this collab,

00:07:55--> 00:07:57

Again, reflect on the Arabic language.

00:07:59--> 00:08:00

Ask yourself a question.

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

If your own child you hear this in

00:08:06--> 00:08:07

language all the time.

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

Your children do something wrong,

00:08:10--> 00:08:12

so what do you say to your wife?

00:08:12--> 00:08:13

See what your son did.

00:08:16--> 00:08:18

Now if he does something good, see what

00:08:18--> 00:08:19

my son did.

00:08:23--> 00:08:26

Whoever does anything wrong, we distance them.

00:08:27--> 00:08:27

Yes?

00:08:28--> 00:08:29

See Allah

00:08:33--> 00:08:35

language. Say to them, oh, my slaves.

00:08:38--> 00:08:39

Slaves.

00:09:03--> 00:09:04

Say to them, oh, Muhammad

00:09:05--> 00:09:05

my

00:09:06--> 00:09:07

slaves. Who?

00:09:07--> 00:09:10

Those who have disobeyed me. Those who have

00:09:10--> 00:09:13

transgressed against themselves because we cannot have Allah.

00:09:13--> 00:09:15

When we when we do,

00:09:16--> 00:09:17

this is against ourselves.

00:09:19--> 00:09:22

My slaves. Who are my slaves? Not the

00:09:22--> 00:09:23

and

00:09:25--> 00:09:27

Those are the the my slaves are sinners.

00:09:28--> 00:09:30

My slaves, the people who make mistakes. My

00:09:30--> 00:09:32

slaves, the people who commit crimes. My slaves,

00:09:32--> 00:09:35

the people who disobey me. My my slaves

00:09:35--> 00:09:37

who are haram. My slaves who eat haram.

00:09:37--> 00:09:40

My slaves, but who turn towards me.

00:09:40--> 00:09:42

Those who have transgressed

00:09:42--> 00:09:43

against themselves.

00:09:44--> 00:09:47

Do not despair of the rahmat of Allah.

00:09:49--> 00:09:50

According to me, this ayat was complete by

00:09:50--> 00:09:53

itself. Idiot. But Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is

00:09:53--> 00:09:54

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.

00:09:54--> 00:09:56

Do not despair of the

00:09:56--> 00:09:57

mercy of Allah.

00:10:02--> 00:10:05

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives all sins.

00:10:06--> 00:10:07

The ayat is completely aware. No. Allah is

00:10:07--> 00:10:08

Allah.

00:10:11--> 00:10:12

Verily, he is the one who is the

00:10:12--> 00:10:14

most forgiving, most possible.

00:10:17--> 00:10:18

My brothers and sisters, I ask my I

00:10:18--> 00:10:21

remind myself when you seek forgiveness of Allah

00:10:21--> 00:10:22

Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:10:25--> 00:10:27

If this if Allah loves a slave, he

00:10:27--> 00:10:29

reminds him again and again of the sins

00:10:29--> 00:10:31

that he had committed in his life.

00:10:32--> 00:10:34

Allah has forgiven those sins. Alhamdulillah. If you

00:10:34--> 00:10:36

make tawah, make it complete. Insha'Allah. Allah said,

00:10:36--> 00:10:39

he will forgive, he forgives. But Allah reminds

00:10:39--> 00:10:39

the slave

00:10:40--> 00:10:42

of his sins or her sins so that

00:10:42--> 00:10:44

they can seek forgiveness again and again.

00:10:45--> 00:10:47

This is a sign of the mercy of

00:10:47--> 00:10:47

Allah.

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

We don't forget. We remind it again and

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

again.

00:10:52--> 00:10:54

Right? So very important. Seek forgiveness.

00:10:55--> 00:10:58

The Hadis of, of, from, Muslim Mohammed

00:10:59--> 00:11:02

and Mohammed. Rasulullah said that the one who

00:11:02--> 00:11:03

seeks forgiveness

00:11:03--> 00:11:05

again and again and most often,

00:11:06--> 00:11:07

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:11:08--> 00:11:10

will remove him and take him out of

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

his difficulties

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

and will provide him from sources that he

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

cannot imagine.

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

And Allah

00:11:16--> 00:11:18

will become sufficient for him.

00:11:19--> 00:11:21

This hadith is the tafsir of the ayat

00:11:21--> 00:11:22

of

00:11:22--> 00:11:23

of Surat,

00:11:23--> 00:11:24

Atalak.

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

Atalakh.

00:11:34--> 00:11:35

Exact meaning.

00:11:35--> 00:11:37

And now, the wizard of Islam is saying

00:11:37--> 00:11:39

that with respect to tawah and istighfar.

00:11:40--> 00:11:43

So what does it mean? The connection between

00:11:43--> 00:11:46

istighfar and tawah and taqwa. Taqwa begins with

00:11:46--> 00:11:48

istighfar and tawah.

00:11:52--> 00:11:55

Allah said seek forgiveness and turn towards Allah.

00:11:57--> 00:11:59

Right? So we ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala

00:11:59--> 00:12:01

in these nights especially.

00:12:02--> 00:12:03

This is the time. Seek forgiveness.

00:12:05--> 00:12:06

Turn towards Allah

00:12:07--> 00:12:08

We ask Allah

00:12:08--> 00:12:10

to forgive us. We ask Allah

00:12:11--> 00:12:13

to open the doors of his forgiveness and

00:12:13--> 00:12:14

his mercy for us. We ask,

00:12:15--> 00:12:18

Allah, to turn to turn towards us with

00:12:18--> 00:12:21

mercy and to turn us and put us

00:12:21--> 00:12:22

on the path of righteousness and to keep

00:12:22--> 00:12:24

with steadfastness.

00:12:22--> 00:12:24

with steadfastness.
