00:01:09--> 00:01:12

my dear brothers and sisters salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.

00:01:16--> 00:01:36

Allah subhanho wa Taala. I started with this ayah and I want you to remember this ayah This is an ayah from Surah Baqarah number 85. where Allah subhanaw taala says aka tumino Nava dill kita Viva takuna v. bat. He said do you believe in a part of the book and you refuse to believe in another part of the book?

00:01:37--> 00:01:39

It's a question of power to me. No.

00:01:40--> 00:01:43

Is it that you believe Hamra

00:01:44--> 00:01:45

massive volumes?

00:01:48--> 00:02:00

So do you believe in a part of the book and you leave out a part of the book, Allah subhanaw taala mentioned desire and total Bukhara with really with regard to the bunnies, right? And

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

but as we know, the Muslims today we seem to follow the tsunami Israel instead of following the tsunami Muhammad Rasul Allah says Allah.

00:02:13--> 00:02:52

So Allah subhanaw taala is asking this question and I want you to see this ayah Allah is saying, Do you believe in part of the book and you reject the rest? And then Allah says, What is the reward or what is the recompense for those of you who do this, except his univille added dunia? disgrace in the life of this world? while you are doing eyelash will as a normal chiamata you are doing eyelash, Eliza and on the Day of Resurrection, such people will be consigned to the most grievous, grievous torment. I said. As I said the law Allah tala has used the superlative form of shoddy which is a shadow.

00:02:55--> 00:03:12

And Allah Allah says, Allah will Rafi nama tomorrow, Allah subhanaw taala is not ignorant of what or unaware of what you do. The reason I began with this iron I want you to think about this is because the topic today is what is it we started with, with in Ramadan with

00:03:13--> 00:03:52

we started on Amazon with the issue of taqwa because Allah subhanaw taala said that he sent made Ramadan and fasting forgone us so that we develop taqwa. And then the next Juma we talked about the importance of Toba as being the first step in order to attain taqwa. So we cannot attain taqwa while we continue to disobey Allah subhanaw taala. So obviously, the first step is to recognize and realize where we are disobeying Allah to make Toba. So last year, we spoke about that, this Juma inshallah, we will speak about what is it that prevents us from making Toba? Because there are, there is there are some very important elements that I'm going to talk about that and that's why I

00:03:52--> 00:04:13

began with this ayah there is a very important attitude that prevents us from making Toba. And it's like a switch in the mind, inshallah, may Allah make it possible for us to flip that switch for those of us who is for whom it is important to do. Because once you flip that switch, then everything else becomes very easy. But until you flip that switch,

00:04:14--> 00:04:16

life is going to be very tough.

00:04:17--> 00:04:27

I began with this ayah because that ayah talks about this switch and the switches, we believe in some things and we don't believe in some things. We accept some things and we don't accept some things.

00:04:28--> 00:04:32

Now if you look at the standards that we have set for ourselves,

00:04:34--> 00:04:53

we May Allah forgive us have made ourselves the law makers. Whereas Allah subhanaw taala is the law maker. And Allah subhanaw taala gave Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam the permission to implement these laws and to prescribe these laws with his hokum and with his way

00:04:55--> 00:04:59

everyone else who comes after Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam is can can only be an employee

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

mentor of the law or a follower of the law, he cannot be a maker of the law.

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

But we have made ourselves makers of the law and and let me let me give you examples of this. For example, Allah Subhana Allah says

00:05:14--> 00:05:31

in Surah Maya Allah said, yeah you have levena Amano in Nam Alhamdulillah wall may see Roland Savalas, la Mora juzo Minami la shaitan reduce Amina militia attorney boo La La quanto fluo

00:05:32--> 00:05:48

Allah Tara's it all you will believe Allah hammer which is alcohol and all intoxicants, all sorts of drugs and anything which is addictive in nature comes under the definition of intoxicating

00:05:50--> 00:06:01

alonza while Islam which is fortune telling and you know, they used to those days to do divining arrows and whatever other forms of fortune telling tarot cards or sequences or whatever, right?

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

Allah says, Are these and gambling.

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

Alhambra volumizer voila, voila, my serious gambling,

00:06:13--> 00:06:14

any form of gambling,

00:06:15--> 00:06:18

whether that form of gambling involves

00:06:19--> 00:07:00

little pieces of paper, or whether it involves internet, or whether it involves four legged animals, or whether it involves two legged animals, because there's a lot of gambling today on on cricket and on on football and so on major, major money. The money is not in anything as the biggest money in cricket and football and why do you think people like our friend Modi invent this I mean, as a business model, it's brilliant. But you know, the the 2020 and the One Day International where's the real dough coming from that real money is in the gambling and that's why I so Allah May Allah protect us from such things because this is where shaitaan comes in. And take something which in

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

itself nothing there's nothing wrong with being cricket. I mean, you know, it's nothing haram or playing cricket or playing football and the lights. And, you know, if you go play it in, at least the ones who are playing at least is good for the health and so on and so on. But they take something which is, in effect, a good thing and convert it into something which is harm.

00:07:18--> 00:07:50

And so Allah protect us and open our eyes to that. So Allah subhanaw taala, saying four things. Number one, intoxicants to gambling three fortunetelling and two ways of that, and Allah subhanaw taala, saying that these are the handiwork of shaitan evil, reduce some mean Amelie shaitan the worst among the Yamanaka fudge attorney boo hoo, now is what first and it was a very interesting word in Arabic first and mo means don't even go near it. We stay away from it stay far from it, leave it

00:07:51--> 00:07:57

if you think about it, somebody says don't do it. Or someone says here is a boundary don't cross it. That's one way of

00:07:59--> 00:08:02

prohibiting something and another another ways

00:08:03--> 00:08:11

that's the boundary don't even go near it. So a question of crossing does not arise because if you're not even going near it, where is the question of crossing it?

00:08:12--> 00:08:23

Now people make all sorts of very we will come to that in a minute. So Allah subhanaw taala saying that these things are the Amal of shaitaan and don't even go near it. Right so which are the things alcohol

00:08:25--> 00:08:30

you want me to name all the brands whether they're all around me if you want me to name the brand, name, the brand,

00:08:34--> 00:08:34

gambling

00:08:35--> 00:08:49

and fortune telling man magic all of these things haram racism in English and Allah made these things. Now, Allah subhanaw taala also said about Hormats things which are Haram. Allah said

00:09:08--> 00:09:14

Allah has prohibited for you what is dead, john Murtha

00:09:15--> 00:09:16

what is dead

00:09:19--> 00:09:21

and alive rocketed for your blood done

00:09:23--> 00:09:27

and Allah has provided for you. Lambo Keynesian

00:09:38--> 00:09:48

allies privated for you pork lamb Wilkins in the flesh of pigs and that which is slaughtered in the name of anyone other than Allah.

00:09:52--> 00:09:55

Now, my question to you is very simple. My question is

00:09:58--> 00:09:59

if I tell you

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

Atlanta Georgia hi Rhonda. I'm sure many people will say guys are doing super super super Bora Bora Anwar bolo

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

didn't who

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

and I won't name the other places because I name them quite a lot

00:10:30--> 00:10:36

you get the point I'm making did Allah subhanaw taala make any differentiation in the Quran with regard to what is haram

00:10:37--> 00:10:55

you know what the difference is and I'll actually made this ayah with the with the rest of it. Allah subhanaw taala said but if one is forced by necessity what is necessity if you are live with our two boys you are about to die of starvation or something you're marooned on top of something and all that there is one pig which is standing there go eat it

00:10:56--> 00:10:58

but don't make it into a habit.

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

So in this particular prohibition there is at least some scope to say that in a unusual situation where you might your life might be in danger you are permitted to eat that what about gambling It is Allah saying you know right when when you're really

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

in a

00:11:21--> 00:11:26

in a bad shape entertainment wise and Okay, I will go one day to the races I mean, it's okay. is Allah saying that

00:11:29--> 00:11:31

point I'm making for your brothers and sisters I forgot to mention I will

00:11:33--> 00:11:40

not be bad unless I started with which I and Allah says you believe in some part of the book and you leave out some part of the book.

00:11:41--> 00:11:57

So what have we done with our standards and talking about why it is difficult to make our you know why it's difficult to make our because we first don't recognize the evil we refuse to accept that the evil is evil. Because we have become made ourselves partners with Allah subhanho wa Taala

00:11:58--> 00:12:25

and we are saying to Allah subhanaw taala with our action that that's okay, you can make some laws but I can also make some laws. You like certain things, that's fine, but I also like certain other things. By our action, we're not saying that without words, but by our action, we are saying that Allah subhanaw taala privater two things equally, he said, alcohol is haram gambling is haram fortunetelling is haram magic is haram. The flesh of pigs is haram raw blood is haram dead animals are

00:12:26--> 00:12:27

not differentiations

00:12:29--> 00:12:36

but we are saying flesh our plagues raw blood I mean how many of you like to have a you know

00:12:37--> 00:12:42

glass or raw blood nobody right? So it's easy for us to say Chitty Chitty

00:12:44--> 00:12:46

because in any case, I don't want to do that.

00:12:50--> 00:12:58

And if you think people in the world don't do that they do the Masai This is their This is a normal diet raw blood mixed with with with the milk.

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

In South America, in British Ghana, they make something called called black pudding which is made out of raw blood.

00:13:07--> 00:13:11

The first time somebody showed it to my daughter the sweet, mercifully Allah saved me. I didn't need it.

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

We call it pudding and what do you what do you think of pudding according to me is sweet.

00:13:17--> 00:13:25

So people do that but Allah saying two separate standards we have set for ourselves what we like if it is haram.

00:13:26--> 00:13:44

We still do it. And we find the will and then we find explanation then we find reasons to do it. And we try to justify it and we'll say in NaVi Takata roenick is euro a mo Malian buka harju squonker musculo v. coworker is gonna go down below

00:13:46--> 00:13:48

about a coup de

00:13:49--> 00:13:54

Bora Coronavirus Morocco category will de aqui para poder

00:13:58--> 00:14:02

nobody prevented that nobody prevented writing, we are talking about gambling.

00:14:06--> 00:14:10

And 90% of the people who go that don't know the front end of ours from the back.

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

Go in there to make money they want to they lose money.

00:14:16--> 00:14:20

And they pay big amounts of money in order to become members

00:14:21--> 00:14:33

of a organization which will put their names in a list of what will happen to this list on the Day of Judgment if you die with your name still on that lists Allah Allah I'm not going to make fatwa here, but you can imagine

00:14:35--> 00:14:40

different standards. Let me give you some more examples. Let me ask you a question in your view,

00:14:41--> 00:14:49

which is more serious, and which is more grievous which is more punishable. disobeying Allah

00:14:51--> 00:14:52

or disobeying your mother in law,

00:14:54--> 00:14:59

which one is more serious and more grievous disobeying Allah or disobeying your mother in law which one

00:15:01--> 00:15:01

Mother,

00:15:05--> 00:15:10

sons in law never have problems mothers in law me this the other the other side, the one that I can't see from here

00:15:12--> 00:15:42

if you are saying the truth, which is that you are saying it is more serious to disobey Allah than to disobey your mother in law, let me ask a question, which is that if your daughter in law, your daughter will expand this a little bit, if your daughters or daughters in law do not wear the hijab? Are you more offended? And are you more bothered? And are you more angry? And are you more concerned? And are you more aggrieved? And are you more, you know, sad and glad and bad and mad or whatever?

00:15:44--> 00:15:52

Are you more angry with that? Or if your daughter in law says that, you know, are you wanting to do something? And she said, No, I don't wanna do that. I refuse to do that.

00:15:53--> 00:16:05

Which is a more serious offense. If your daughter in law refuses to obey you. Is she in more trouble? Or if your daughter in law refuses to do what Allah subhanaw taala has ordered her to do she in more trouble which one

00:16:09--> 00:16:18

and now since all these guys here who don't have beards are looking very happy. Let me complete my my reputation is I speak about only two things beards and hijab. So I must live up to my reputation

00:16:20--> 00:16:35

which in your view, is a more serious offence, disobeying Rasulullah sallallahu Salah or disobeying your whoever elder or whoever, you know, teacher or brother or whoever, which is a more serious event, which is a more serious events.

00:16:36--> 00:16:39

You want me to complete this whole like this whole example. It's quite clear, right?

00:16:42--> 00:16:56

Because irrespective I don't want to go into the fifth aspect of it whether or not this is for I will prove to you it is for so Allah Come and sit with me. I'll prove Dr. Rama Dino. But one thing which nobody will argue with is that this is the hokum of Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.

00:16:58--> 00:17:04

Call it for Khalid Suna call it what you want, but it is an order of the Nabhi. Nobody will argue with that. So I'm only staying with that.

00:17:08--> 00:17:23

Yet, we have no problem with shaving our beards. And voila, my brother says I saw his face I remember all the things that he mentioned to me when he started keeping a beard people told him a lot I am cassava cassava, cassava and Joanna.

we have separated the standards.

00:18:01--> 00:18:08

Now what do you call somebody? Or what do you say about somebody who says something and the heart is something else? What is the N word?

00:18:10--> 00:18:11

What is the M word?

00:18:15--> 00:18:16

You said it I didn't say

00:18:20--> 00:18:24

one last example. Allah subhanaw taala said about interest.

00:18:25--> 00:18:29

Yeah, you are levina Mano taco la Havas ah Baba manera

00:18:30--> 00:18:32

tomo meaning

00:18:33--> 00:19:01

it's an ayah which is a sharp conditional. Allah said income tomini is all you believe in tavola happier of Allah and give up what remains due to you have interests? If you have lent out money and you expect in the interest piece of it. He said give it up. Leave it out. If you are believers in control more money. So what is the meaning if you don't do that?

00:19:02--> 00:19:04

It's a shark of email.

00:19:07--> 00:19:09

Then Allah does it fire lambda follow?

00:19:11--> 00:19:16

And for those who do not do it, if you don't do it, fine lanta follow.

00:19:17--> 00:19:22

For us. I know we heard a min Allahi wa suli.

00:19:25--> 00:19:28

Allah saying and if you do not do it, then take notice.

00:19:29--> 00:19:31

take notice of war. How

00:19:32--> 00:19:34

the word is used is herb.

00:19:36--> 00:19:36

We don't

00:19:37--> 00:19:50

mean Allahu wa Sunni. take notice of war with Allah and His Navy Salalah Listen, my brothers and sisters a simple question I want to ask you. Do you believe or do not believe that one day we will die?

00:19:51--> 00:19:59

Do you believe or not believe that one day we will be gathered before Allah subhanaw taala on the on the matter of Russia. Do you believe or do you not believe that? So Allah Rasul Allah.

00:20:00--> 00:20:11

salatu salam will be given the, the power to intercede for the believers and boo one to you do not do not want that the Nabi sallallahu alayhi salam should make dua Avista far for us.

00:20:13--> 00:20:22

And you want to declare war and you want to accept a declaration of war from a lion is maybe I mean you can't find anybody else to fight with.

00:20:24--> 00:20:25

So Allah Jeeva

00:20:26--> 00:20:31

you can't find anybody else to fight with. And who did Allah tell us to fight with?

00:20:34--> 00:20:36

Allah shaitan O'Hagan

00:20:37--> 00:20:45

to a dua. He said, Allah said the shaitaan is your enemy, and you show enmity towards him.

00:20:46--> 00:20:52

But we want to show enmity towards Allah. We want to show enmity towards Rasulullah sallallahu sallam.

00:20:56--> 00:21:07

Now, how do we justify this? Because the point is that we know this I am I am reading from the Quran. This is not my I'm not standing or giving fatwas, I'm giving reading you from the Quran. I am giving you a translation that

00:21:09--> 00:21:19

how then do we justify dealing with interest based banks? How do we justify working in those banks? How do we justify taking income from those banks?

00:21:21--> 00:21:24

And I'll tell you in a minute, the biggest problem with this

00:21:26--> 00:21:27

it's a Muslim.

00:21:30--> 00:21:56

Abdullah bin Massoud, it will be narrated from Rasul Allah Allah rewarded by Abdullah and Masada Delano Rasul Allah Islam said Abdullah Massoud said there was a colossal and cost both the one who accepts Riba who takes interest and the one who pays it. And in the narration of tirmidhi it adds and says, as well as the one who records it, and the two people who stand witness to it.

00:21:59--> 00:22:03

Now look at the seriousness of this rubbish. Here is a transaction that

00:22:05--> 00:22:06

say I am doing in that

00:22:07--> 00:22:10

I'm not doing this, I'll just give you an example. So I am doing it with him.

00:22:13--> 00:22:32

And this person here, this brother, he has not done it. He's just writing it down. He's neither taking the money not giving the money. And these two people here they have they're not even writing it down. They are just saying okay, we are witness to this transaction. Rasulullah sallallahu encouraged all of them. All five, karst.

00:22:33--> 00:22:34

Whose curse?

00:22:36--> 00:22:38

Do we want the curse of the NaVi or you want the dog to be Which one?

00:22:44--> 00:22:46

And then you know, the funniest thing in the world.

00:22:47--> 00:22:57

Allah subhanaw taala said about the same Riba and the whole interest based economy, Allah said, Yamaha por la horiba europese sadaqa Hola. Hola. You have Bukola ghaffari Nasim.

00:22:59--> 00:23:08

Allah made a definitive statement Allah says Allah will destroy interest, allow will destroy Riba

00:23:09--> 00:23:24

will destroy Allah not saying Allah may destroy it. Allah will young haco la horiba. And we are all very surprised when this all interest based economy collapses. It was oh my god, how did it happen? Just use me.

00:23:26--> 00:23:29

How many times do you read the Quran? How many times you listen to the Quran?

00:23:30--> 00:23:33

Why are you surprised at least don't be surprised.

00:23:34--> 00:23:36

This is supposed to happen, right?

00:23:38--> 00:23:39

Because allies promised it?

00:23:41--> 00:23:43

Well, you know, the biggest tragedy of this.

00:23:44--> 00:23:48

In my other incarnation, I'm a leadership development consultant and advise businesses and so on.

00:23:50--> 00:24:09

And when I went to America two years ago, very quick, very soon after the economic collapse, almost everywhere I went, people ask me, can you we understand our system is our system sucks. Our system is sick. Can you tell me here in Islamic Finance, Islamic Finance and Islamic economy? Can you tell us what that system is?

00:24:11--> 00:24:22

You know, tell us what a system does not mean giving a one hour lecture on that. It means having a robust model implementable on a global scale.

00:24:24--> 00:24:34

It does not mean having, you know, 20 lakhs of rupees and having a little fun and saying, Well, you know, somebody wants a bit of money to buy a car. Well, I'm going to give it I won't charge interest, doesn't work, bus doesn't work. I want $100 million

00:24:35--> 00:24:52

to start a business. Where can I get that without paying interest? That's what we're talking about. That's what we're talking about dogmatic, global, robust economic system. And you know why that system does not exist today. Because the Muslims refuse to take the Koran seriously.

00:24:53--> 00:25:00

The Muslims refuse to take the Quran what Allah has made Haram, the Muslim has made halaal on himself and therefore

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

There is no need to do anything else. We make a lot we make all kinds of explanations and and so Allah May Allah forgive those of our Allah who are compliant and who give us all sorts of excuses. Remember when you stand up for Allah subhanho wa sallam said the one who deals in Riba who takes it and gives it and witnesses that on the Day of Judgment, the angels will come and give him a sword in his hand and say there is a Lago fighting because you have accepted a declaration of war.

00:25:28--> 00:25:37

Now ask your molana who gave you a fatwa that this is dharohar and that interest is Jai has asked him whether he is prepared to come and stand with you with a sword in his hand to fight Allah.

00:25:38--> 00:25:40

start recruiting your army here.

00:25:42--> 00:25:46

But no matter how you recruit, nobody else nobody's going to be there with you because you will be standing alone.

00:25:47--> 00:26:16

Once again, you want detailed explanations with proofs come to me I will tell you, this is not the place for that but I'm telling you interest is haram. It is haram. Haram, the one who takes it the one who gives it the one who witnesses it. All transactions to do with it are a shad Haram. If you die with that you are one of those whom Allah subhanaw taala has declared war against and you accepted this declaration of war. Be warned I have said this in so many words.

00:26:19--> 00:26:49

I'm explaining to you how we have changed the standards to suit ourselves. Now what does Islam actually want? What does Islam actually demand from us? Allah subhanaw taala said yeah, you holla de la mano de holo fishtail Mika, WA vo autohotkey shaitan in hula Komodo movie in Allah de you believe and are into Islam completely and fully.

00:26:50--> 00:26:56

Think about is if you already are a believer What is there to enter into Islam? What is the meaning of desire? Does I have any meaning at all?

00:26:59--> 00:27:03

Because I got into as a Muslim right I mean, even though I was the Ghana was born

00:27:05--> 00:27:07

I love it when I Sankara began.

00:27:10--> 00:27:12

So what is Allah saying? Yeah, you know,

00:27:13--> 00:27:16

what do we know about if it begins with the denominator?

00:27:17--> 00:27:30

That they are a direct order of Allah right? So what is Allah saying? Allah ordering us? Yeah, one of the nah man oh believe odo Hello Vishal Mika, and they are into Islam completely.

00:27:31--> 00:27:36

Not partial. Not partially, there is no promise of Allah on a partial

00:27:38--> 00:27:48

practice of Islam. All the promises of Allah subhanaw taala of his help of his adger of his reward are on the complete following of Islam. Allah

00:27:49--> 00:27:56

and Allah, Allah who does and don't follow the footsteps of shaitan see the beauty of the ban of the Quran

00:27:57--> 00:28:10

you know when you're following somebody his foot say somebody is grabbing you by the scruff of your neck and dragging you on a road. You can blame the person who say Allah What can I do me know this powerful person he grabbed me and he took me I mean, I have no power to resist him.

00:28:11--> 00:28:17

Right? You can say that legitimately. But if you are following footsteps, what is the meaning of that?

00:28:18--> 00:28:27

If you are if I am walking in front of you, and somebody asks you Who are you following? Will you say I'm following your footsteps? I will say I'm following our

00:28:28--> 00:28:32

I'm there in front of you right so following this man is there is walking in front of him following him.

00:28:33--> 00:28:41

When when you say I'm following the footsteps of our when the hour is no longer there. All that remains are the footsteps on the bath.

00:28:42--> 00:28:47

Now you're saying well, you know he buys his way and I'm following those footsteps. And what is the word Allah using?

00:28:50--> 00:28:53

footsteps as shaitan Chetan is not even there.

00:28:55--> 00:28:57

waterguard mizuka Jaya

00:28:59--> 00:29:02

and we are following now whose responsibility is it?

00:29:04--> 00:29:11

Who's responsible? That is why hacker will say falada lamoni 101 who's a GM? They don't curse me cause yourself

00:29:15--> 00:29:20

Don't ask me who's your boss? I only told you Who told you to have I didn't force it. Oh baby, you open me.

00:29:22--> 00:29:41

Law Tell me what Islam demands complete obedience, not partial obedience. Islam demands that we remember that one day we die that we will die and that we stand before Allah Subhana Allah and Allah subhanaw taala said is very clearly in Surah sajida where Allah subhanaw taala said wirkkala wise Allah Allah Villa dia in

00:29:42--> 00:29:53

the balloon, la carrera beam coffee rune coletta fakuma como de La Villa Rico meilleur de como todo

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

Anna abana vasana was Amina virgin.

00:30:06--> 00:30:21

You know, Allah said, These are the people will call ya da da da da da da da da da da da da da the people who say to you Obamas Allah Allah. Is it true that when we die and we become part of the earth we have decomposed and become mud?

00:30:24--> 00:30:27

Are we going to be resurrected again? Are you going to be brought alive again?

00:30:28--> 00:30:31

It's a question which is a denial to Allah saying what?

00:30:32--> 00:30:34

vilify European governor Allah said tell them

00:30:36--> 00:30:37

tell them you will die.

00:30:40--> 00:30:48

Tell them you will die. Malakal, Mattila de bucola become monocle mouth has been set upon you.

00:30:51--> 00:30:55

So, mylar, I'll be going to john and he will bring you back to Europe.

00:30:57--> 00:31:09

And then Allah subhanaw taala describes the scene that we will see And may Allah subhanaw taala make us among those who will see the scene but who will not be part of that scene.

00:31:12--> 00:31:34

Allah subhanaw taala says hello Tara is magery Muna na ki soucy Mandara beam. Allah says oh my oh by Nabil, if you could see the mudra mean if you could see those people, the criminals who used to deny the meeting with Allah, who used to deny obedience or alive you could see them they will be standing before Allah subhanho wa Taala with their heads hanging in shame.

00:31:35--> 00:32:15

Because they would have seen what would they see? They would see alone as us they will see the hammer linears holding the throne Allah subhanaw taala they will see the angels millions and millions and millions of them. Some funds are far row upon row upon row, they will see the glory and majesty of Allah subhanaw taala they will see their own total and complete helplessness even to move they will see that total and complete silence Leia taka lamona illa mana Nabina Allah hora man Allah says, nobody will speak except the one who is given permission by Allah subhana wa tortures islands

00:32:17--> 00:32:32

and what will they say what will they do? They will shut up Ghana is our our Sarna we have seen what Samana we have heard for Jana masala, Nina Murat please send us back into the world and we will be very obedient servants.

00:32:36--> 00:32:37

But it's a one way street.

00:32:38--> 00:32:39

Non return valve.

00:32:42--> 00:32:44

Non return while the blood flows only one way doesn't come back.

00:32:45--> 00:32:48

one way street. When you're gone, you're gone.

00:32:50--> 00:32:57

You know in America, they say you only live once. They made it in a different way. I'm saying the same thing you only live once. better believe it.

00:32:59--> 00:33:00

Nobody's going back.

00:33:02--> 00:33:23

final point I want to make for your brother and sister before we close Allah subhanaw taala said about those people who refuse to make Toba and who continue to follow the desires of their hearts. Allah says in Surah Al Furqan ri Amanita ilaha avanta taco otaku alayhi wa keila under sub one

00:33:25--> 00:33:32

kilo in home Milla Kalana nibble Ramadan lo sabi Allah, Allah says,

00:33:33--> 00:33:41

Have you not seen those who have taken their desires as their gods? See the word Allah has used

00:33:42--> 00:33:49

Illa ha hoo ha, ma boo apne Hi, Zhang Kumar, Bhavana Illa

00:33:53--> 00:33:59

What do you call somebody who takes as a object of worship someone other than Allah?

00:34:02--> 00:34:03

What is the word?

00:34:06--> 00:34:07

Allah is calling that same thing.

00:34:09--> 00:34:11

Allah is saying to take your desire

00:34:13--> 00:34:20

as a object of worship, what is the meaning of the worship as well as explained is very clearly said to obey is to worship.

00:34:21--> 00:34:27

To obey is to worship because when the idea came about our Rabanne of the of the Christians,

00:34:29--> 00:34:35

the son of Damien had him Atlanta, his son came to sola salon, he had a big crush on around his neck.

00:34:36--> 00:34:47

He came in he literally accepted Islam became a very one of the one of the big savasana. But at that time, he was not a Muslim. He was a Christian. So he came and also has another desire and desire and he said, These are the people who take their

00:34:48--> 00:34:53

Rabanne. They take their priests and their monks as Gods other than alameen Gunilla.

00:34:54--> 00:34:59

So he said Dr. Salah, we do not worship our monks and priests sola

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

Rosalind said, Jeremy,

00:35:02--> 00:35:11

is it not true that Allah has made some things halaal but your priests have made them haram and you accept what the priest says? He said, Yes, this is true.

00:35:12--> 00:35:25

He said, is it not true that Allah has made something haram and your priests made it? And you accept what the preset is is not true. This idea this is true, he said that is to worship the priest instead of worshipping Allah.

00:35:27--> 00:35:28

Homosexuality

00:35:30--> 00:35:35

get used to be a nice word once upon a time you know, you feel happy you say I am gay. Now if I say I'm gay, what do you think?

00:35:38--> 00:35:43

homosexuality haram or halal? Not Islamic is the same thing in Christianity.

00:35:44--> 00:35:51

In Judaism, according to their law, which is it halal or haram in their religion? What have they made it?

00:35:53--> 00:35:56

Eating of pork and drinking of alcohol, haram Allah.

00:35:58--> 00:36:04

The Jewish religion is haram. Clearly the religion of Israel is lm is the Jewish religion is the Torah is the book

00:36:07--> 00:36:19

is what they have done. Now. This is what we do with regard to our desires, when we want to do something and the law of Allah subhanaw taala prohibits it, we ignore the law of Allah we do what we want to do anyway.

00:36:21--> 00:36:24

We make some excuse, some justification, some argument.

00:36:25--> 00:36:31

My brothers and sisters, I want to warn myself and I want to warn you, please please, please remember, do not do this.

00:36:32--> 00:36:36

We have no idea when we are going to be called.

00:36:37--> 00:36:39

And when that time comes.

00:36:40--> 00:36:54

Last de Luna Sato Elias, Allah said not by a second not by Assad, not by an hour, not by minute, will it be delayed? Or can it be brought forward, the time of death is fixed.

00:36:58--> 00:37:15

And if we die without making tava, if we die on the basis of all these false beliefs and all these false, you know, figments of our imagination that we want to live our life by, then at that time, nobody but nobody can help us. No one can help us.

00:37:16--> 00:37:18

Let us not do this to ourselves.

00:37:19--> 00:37:24

Remember, ignoring consequences does not make consequences go away.

00:37:25--> 00:37:30

Free Fall and free flight look the same.

00:37:32--> 00:37:39

Free Fall and free flight look the same. There's no difference. As a matter of fact, freefall

00:37:40--> 00:37:43

is faster because you are accelerating at 32 feet per second per second.

00:37:44--> 00:37:46

You know where the difference comes?

00:37:47--> 00:37:48

In the end?

00:37:49--> 00:37:50

In the end.

00:37:52--> 00:38:01

If you are in freefall imagine the situation is a guy who jumped out of a plane without a parachute. And another guy would jump with a parachute. Who's traveling faster towards yours?

00:38:03--> 00:38:07

The guy without the parachute now somewhere at 10,000 feet above the earth.

00:38:09--> 00:38:12

He is telling the one in the parachute is a man you cannot slow Yeah.

00:38:13--> 00:38:14

I mean, look at me.

00:38:17--> 00:38:22

Look at me. You said you said I will die if I jumped on the plane without a parachute. I am dead.

00:38:23--> 00:38:24

I am flying.

00:38:26--> 00:38:30

All it takes is that 32 feet per second per second. That doesn't take long. Yeah.

00:38:32--> 00:38:33

And then what happens?

00:38:34--> 00:38:43

That is the point I'm making. Just because you have friends who disobey Allah subhanaw taala blatantly.

00:38:44--> 00:38:50

Don't get misled. They are in freefall. If they don't pull the chute

00:38:51--> 00:38:53

before they hit the Earth.

00:38:57--> 00:38:58

Don't get mistaken by that.

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

Don't check out our arena. uno karanga negara moussaka mala, mala Agarwal, cheese app curry, or Agarwal, cheese Jeffrey la vannevar. Lee,

00:39:13--> 00:39:17

remember to speak out against sin is a faragonda Muslim.

00:39:21--> 00:39:28

Those of you who are in the listening to the to the Tafseer two days ago hard they will not the Tafseer in the in the tarawih.

00:39:31--> 00:40:00

I want to remind myself and I want to remind you, that we live only once that the lawmaker is Allah subhanaw taala and is not me and not us. That we have not been given the freedom to take the law and twist it and turn it to suit our own desires. That if we do that, then we are putting ourselves in competition with Allah subhanho wa Taala as a lawmaker, and I want to remind myself and I want to remind you that that is a very dangerous situation to be in. So

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

Monica Lama bionic Venetia, Laila Highland Nesta for calama nottoway Lake will take five minutes to breathe and our feelings sunan and then we will start the whole Basilica.
