AI: Summary ©

The worship of Islam is a fundamental principle, not just a fundamental belief, and has the power to create the world and create something beyond Islam. The speaker discusses the confusion between religion and English translators, citing examples such as the use of "has" in English to describe actions and events, and the use of "has" in English to describe promises and requests. They stress the importance of acknowledging confusion and caution, and emphasize the need to avoid creating "theological reasons" and political and economic reasons for the world to be "come to a hot school, college, university, and casino" to avoid he's "come to a hot school, college, university, and casino."

myrobalan sisters. salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato. Welcome to our session on the lessons
from the lights of the embeddable Salaam and we are on the life of Ibrahim alayhis, Salam.
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:34
			Brothers, sisters, if there is one single thing that distinguishes Islam, from every other religion,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:39
			that is the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			alone.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:54
			Please notice, it is not the worship of one God. Because as far as the worship of one God is
concerned, for example, Orthodox Jews also worship one God.
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			They do not worship Allah.
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:19
			Incidentally, in terms of Akita, in terms of our fundamental principles of our creed, the people
that we as Muslims are closest to our Orthodox Jews, there are so many commonalities between
Orthodox Jews and Muslims, is a very good friend of mine who was a
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:32
			who was a diplomat as well. And he is orthodox, he's an Orthodox Jew. He told me his wonderful, very
amusing story, he said that either himself or one of his friends was also
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:46
			he said to me that either the story is about him himself, or about a friend of his, who was also an
Orthodox Jew and also a diplomat. He said that this guy was posted in one of the
		
00:01:47 --> 00:02:00
			Muslim republics in Russia, I think it will cut Pakistan or, you know, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan
are one of these places. And he said one day he was they had gone camping with some friends, local,
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:16
			you know, Tajiks, Uzbeks, whoever they were Muslims. They had gone camping in the, in the, in the
breweries, and they were sitting around a campfire, you know, roasting sheep or something in the
night? And
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:48
			they asked him, he said, What are you meaning? What religion are you? He said, I am Orthodox Jewish.
Now these are these are, you know, tribal people. You might say, Well, you know, what kind of a
question was that? But this, one of them said, we'll watch that. So this man is thinking, How do I
explain Orthodox Judaism to this guy? Where this man said, looked into something? Do you worship one
God? Or do you worship many gods? He said, I worship one God. He said, You worship idols. He says,
No. He says,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:50
			Do
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Do you?
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:05
			You know, he said, Do you eat pork? He said, No, we don't eat pork. He said, Are you circumcised? He
said, Yes, I'm circumcised, he's gone, you are Muslim, you just don't know it.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:43
			That's funny, because if you look at all of these things are common to Orthodox Jews and us. Now why
am I saying this? I'm not saying this for any other reason other than to show that the distinctive
thing about Islam and Muslims is the worship of Allah subhanho wa Taala, not one God, because that's
the reason I mentioned to you that there may be many commonalities between us and others. And
however, that does not mean that there is no difference between us and others. I'm not emphasizing
difference for the sake of, you know, promoting any kind of
		
00:03:44 --> 00:03:55
			negativity or chauvinism or something, I am saying this difference as in distinctiveness difference
as in differentiation
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:46
			between us and everybody else, that differentiation, that distinction is the heat it is the worship
of Allah subhanho wa Taala jell o jell O, and the following of his last and final messenger after
whom there is no other messenger, and that messenger is Mohammed Mustafa sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi
wa sahbihi wa sallam. Now, this is the fundamental creed of the Muslims. Now, you will find that
people have come and gone, there are there have been people who have taken this creed and they have
believed in part of it and they have left the other part of it or they have changed a part of it.
And they say for example, you say, I believe in Allah, I believe that somebody might say that he
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:50
			believes in Allah He believes in marvelous are a solemn as well as
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			meaning that he is the Rasul of Allah. But he also believes in a third person who came after masala
Salah that that person also
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:53
			was a Rasul Allah. Now somebody with that belief cannot be a Muslim, because the Muslim belief is
the foundation fundamental principle. If somebody says I believe in Allah, but I also believe that
there is somebody other than Allah highroller. Whoever that might be, might be an angel, might be an
abbey might be a Sahabi might be somebody who came after a Sahabi you know, might be a great scholar
of Islam or whoever it is, but you say, Well, you know, I believe in Allah, I believe that Allah
subhanaw taala only is worthy of worship, I believe only Allah subhanaw taala can is, is that I
should ask help from Allah, but also this person has some sort of roof this person also has some,
		
00:05:54 --> 00:06:41
			you know, power to interfere in to change in to decide upon things that relate to the authority of
Allah subhanho wa Taala. For example, you might say, Well, you know, I worship Allah, I don't I do
not worship x, y, and Zed, but x, y, and Zed can give me a child, I don't have a child, I would like
to have a child. So I'm asking x, y and Zed to give me a child and I believe that this person this
x, y Zed can give me a child. Now in Islam, this is not acceptable. If you if you really believe
that, then you have exited Islam because you have joined a partner with Allah subhanho wa Taala. And
something which is only Allah subhanaw taala has power to do that. Right? So please understand this,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:44
			anyone who believes that anyone other than Allah Subhana Allah,
		
00:06:45 --> 00:06:58
			you believe in Allah, you're not denying Allah Subhana Allah you believe in Allah subhanaw taala you
worship only Allah subhanho wa Taala you are making you are praying Salah you are making sudo you're
making only to Allah subhanaw taala you do not have the picture of the other person or whatever it
is there. But
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:45
			the rest of the belief, the Rubaiyat of Allah Spano Tata, the power of Allah to give and take the
power of Allah over life and death, the power of a lower sickness and health, the bar of lower
wealth and poverty, the power of data, over all the things that relate to this world and the
environment, you believe that there is that Allah has the power, you're not denying that Allah has
the power, but there is this person or there is this group of people. And this transcends time, and
this and that. And these people also within course, loves Villa, they help Allah, they help Allah to
do whatever needs to be done in this world, this belief would be complete an open shark, and a
		
00:07:45 --> 00:07:46
			person if he believes that
		
00:07:48 --> 00:08:40
			it believes such a thing, then this person would have exited Islam. Now, the reason I'm saying that
is because you will find that there are many people who claim to be Muslim, but whose beliefs are
contaminated, in this way, with what amounts to shake. And this happens because of an exaggeration
of the love and respect they have for good people in the religion. Take for example, how did he sell
his Salah, and how did the Christians end up making Salli salam, the Son of God, I mean, you should
read some history of it, see what Constantine the first did when he introduced Trinity into the
whole equation, right? And this is about 300 years before sola sola was born. So it Constantine in.
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:44
			He did that he, he created this
		
00:08:45 --> 00:09:25
			the whole concept of Trinity before that they didn't have this concept Trinity. Now the point is
that, how did that happen? Because of an exaggerated love and respect for Sally salon for Jesus. So
people in effect, people said, you know, here was this man who was so beautiful, he was so
wonderful. He was such an amazing person. He was so full of goodness, that it is impossible that he
could possibly that he could have been a human. I mean, there's no way you know, we know humans. I
mean, I'm human, you are human. I mean, are you like Jesus or not? So and you will never be like
Jesus right now, no matter how good you are. You're never going to be that good. So obviously here
		
00:09:25 --> 00:09:59
			was a man was not really a man. He looked like a man, but he was actually God. He was God
manifesting himself on the earth. In Hindu mythology, we talk about what is the outer was even this
God came onto this earth, in human form or in the form of something else, and he came to solve the
problems of the world. Now, Islam said very clearly, none of this is true. Islam said, Allah is
Allah Lazar Camus Li Xiaoyun wa who was Samuel Busey, Allah subhanho wa Taala
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:28
			That he is like nothing in creation, there is nothing whatsoever in creation, anything that we know
in creation and anything that we do not know in creation, there is nothing which resembles Allah
subhanho wa Taala no living thing, no animate thing, no in animating, no power, no energy, nothing
resembles or looks like or is
		
00:10:29 --> 00:11:19
			Allah or has anything to do in the sense of the power and glory and majesty of Allah, Allah subhanho
wa Taala, who Allahu Ahad, he is one he is completely unique, and there is nothing and nobody and
nothing in creation, all that we know and all that we don't know which resembles Allah subhanaw
taala This is the fundamental core of the belief of Islam. And along with this belief also is the
belief that when we say there is nothing like Allah, we are saying therefore we worship only Allah
and nobody has done in our worship, we do not join partners with Allah subhanho wa Taala number one,
number two, we also do not join partners with Allah in asking help from Allah, because we say he
		
00:11:19 --> 00:11:33
			cannot do what he can. He said Oh Allah only you we ask only You we worship and only You we ask for
help. Please notice grammatically speaking I don't know if you have been
		
00:11:35 --> 00:11:36
			seeing the
		
00:11:37 --> 00:12:23
			the lectures of Dr. Mamba that hazaragi about so the fact that these have been posted onto the, onto
our channels, so please watch them. The thing that he explained that this is very, very well known.
That if for example, you Allah Subhana Allah, Allah subhanaw taala could have said, Oh Allah, we
worship You, or Allah, we ask help from you. Right, which would be true we all worship you. We ask
Allah from However, if I say Oh Allah, I worship you. It could also mean I worship you There is no
doubt about that. But I also worship somebody else. Right now and now and I will and de la voluntad
for example, if I go to a restaurant, and you know, the restaurant owner is a great friend of mine,
		
00:12:23 --> 00:13:02
			I go there I meet him, he beats me. Oh, jack, our most welcome, please come, come come. And I say to
him, you know, I I come to your restaurant, right? I always come to your restaurant. I'm a customer
of yours. Now this does not mean that I never go to any other restaurant. It can mean I'm most of
the time I come to this restaurant. It but it doesn't mean I'm I don't go anywhere else. compared to
if I tell him you know, I never go to any restaurant other than yours. Your restaurant is the only
one that I come to. That is a very big difference between these two statements. So here we are
saying Oh Allah only You we worship he can argue
		
00:13:03 --> 00:13:11
			with I'm not saying I worship You know, I the only you he can assign Oh Allah, I ask help only from
you.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:23
			Because if I say Allah, I asked him from you. It could mean yes, of course. I asked him for less
than $1. But I also asked help from whoever else might be there.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:51
			Now, again, asking help is does not mean that if I asked somebody for God's glass of water or a cup
of tea, that this is haram. No, you're talking about in the *, we are talking about asking help
in those things, which only Allah subhanaw taala can do, and which are in our life, that we are
asking others other than Allah, we are joining partners with Allah subhanho wa Taala in seeking
help. So it's like people, you know, going to graves and asking the
		
00:13:53 --> 00:14:25
			person whose grave it is for children, for welds for jobs for all kinds of things. We know this
happens all over the world. May Allah protect us from ourselves and from joining partners, Allah
subhanaw taala, all of this is open ship. Then we come to a situation where people say, you know, if
I'm at this particular grip, and I will have my hands up like this, I'm not making dua to that
person. I am saying I'm asking that person to intercede for me with Allah.
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:34
			Right? I'm not worshiping that person. I am asking that person to intercede for me with Allah.
		
00:14:36 --> 00:14:59
			Now in Islam, this also is prohibited. This also is haram this also is prohibited because this is
exactly what the people of Makkah the machine omaka the policy is this is what they said to
resources Allah. When he said to them, why do you worship idols? Why do you ask other than Allah?
They said, No, no, we believe in Allah and they did believe in Allah. Then for them Allah was like
a, like a chief God right, among others.
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:35
			He was achieved God. So the Allah the word Allah the name Allah, Allah subhanho wa Taala Jonathan, I
was not a stranger to them, they didn't they knew. But they said, Oh no, we don't worship these
gods, we are asking them to intercede for us with Allah, you know, these are our intercessors that
this is a person I go to and say, you know, I want to meet the king, please take me to the king
because you know the king, and I will be like they used to say these are the daughters of Allah. And
then they would bury their own daughters. Last month I mentioned this in the Quran. Allah said you
call you say these are the daughters of Allah, but see what you do to your own daughters. I mean, so
		
00:15:35 --> 00:16:14
			it's not as if you know, we are saying daughters because we honor daughters so much. infanticide was
was very common, they would go and bury their own daughters alive because they didn't want girl
children. And but for Allah, they would say, Allah has daughters. So how do you ascribe daughters to
Allah? When you don't want daughters for yourself? Do you think a daughter is born and you think
this great misfortune for you? And then you want to ascribe what you think is misfortune for you?
You want to ascribe this to Allah subhanaw taala. I mean, this is all hypocrisy, of, of polytheism
and of worshipping other than Allah. So this argument that some people give and they say, No, no,
		
00:16:14 --> 00:16:16
			no, no, we are not worshiping,
		
00:16:17 --> 00:17:00
			worshiping, that whoever is in that grave. Please notice I am deliberately not using the term St.
Because st is a Christian theological term. There are no saints in Islam, a saint in in Christian
theology is somebody who was a good person and so on and who died. And after that person died, then
there is a whole procedure by which that person is what is called canonize, that person is given
sainthood this happened with Mother Teresa, for example, which is what they do is they then the
after the bury the person, then that then somebody who is in charge of that grave or wherever, then
afterwards they write to the Pope, and they say, we saw the following miracles happening as a result
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:14
			of people worshipping this person in this grip. And this is a miracle so and so God is one. So God
got one or whatnot. And when that list of miracles reaches, you know, the required number, then the
pope will,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:25
			will pronounce and say that, so and so is will now henceforth be referred to as St something, right?
So St. Teresa or St.
		
00:17:27 --> 00:18:10
			You know, whatever. So the point is that, therefore, in Islam, we do not have we don't have
priesthood, we don't have a pope. We don't have sainthood. These are all things that have been
imported into Islam. And May Allah forgive us. It is a law, a lot of this blame has to go on to the
English translators of the Quran who keep translating. As I've said, I say this over and over again,
I'm sick of hearing listening to myself saying it, but I don't know whether it has any effect. Well,
frankly, I don't care. I want to be clear with my rajala that I tried to address the wrong
translation of his column. And that's, that's sufficient for me. English translators. Translate is
		
00:18:10 --> 00:18:46
			versus versus HR versus our HR, they're not if I add our signs, they're not they're not verses. And
if you want me to show you where the translator sabotages his own translation, it is in the eye of
Allah said in a vehicle, a lot of the work the leveleleven de la de Alba, in Soto alibre go and II
190 go and look at the translation of that, see how the translator has translated the word I got,
		
00:18:47 --> 00:18:58
			as he translated assigns, or as he translated as versus now if I add their means signs, then how do
you translate if anywhere else as versus
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:33
			to do that? Because you are blindly following the Christian nomenclature with regard to the Bible.
So the Bible has verses so the Quran also has verses not because the Quran actually has verses, but
because you decided to blindly without thinking, just take on Christian terminology. That is why you
have a madrasa which you call a seminary. Please go look up people who claim to know English, go
look up the meaning of seminary, a seminary is a is a school for priests.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:39
			How do you have a school for priests in a religion where there is no priesthood?
		
00:19:41 --> 00:19:47
			But you call it seminary, you call the head of that seminary Rector. Go look up the meaning of
Rector.
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:52
			The problem with principal
		
00:19:54 --> 00:19:58
			what's the problem with calling the person principal of the Islamic college
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			stay with
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:06
			English I want no problem with the use of seven English. Why seminary? Why Rector,
		
00:20:07 --> 00:20:08
			cleric.
		
00:20:11 --> 00:20:28
			All Christian terminology because we are using that's why languages are a reflection of the culture,
languages are reflection of the culture of the people who speak that language. So when we translate
and when we use a different language
		
00:20:30 --> 00:20:42
			with respect to the Quran as soon as specifically, we must ensure that we don't also import the
culture with the language. And this is what people have done. you translate Rob as Lord.
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:46
			What is not, not as multiple meanings,
		
00:20:48 --> 00:20:49
			Lord of the mentioned.
		
00:20:53 --> 00:20:53
			Right,
		
00:20:54 --> 00:21:01
			Lord, this one Lord that one, Lord is a title that is given by the British monarch to nobility.
		
00:21:05 --> 00:21:07
			So Allah has Lord Rob.
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:29
			Now, again, this is a on a side note, so I don't want to go too much into that. But the point I want
to make is he can Abuja Kaduna state I mentioned that because this is the distinctive feature. This
is something which is unique to Islam. If we lose this, then we have lost the battle from the from
the word go.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:41
			The battle against Satan the battle against those who want to, to adulterate and infiltrate into our
creed
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:45
			by putting things into it, which don't belong to it.
		
00:21:47 --> 00:22:02
			So my brothers sisters, we talk about Alhamdulillah we say Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah hamdulillah.
We are mohideen we are people of tawheed. We worship only Allah, and we ask help only from Allah
subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:22:03 --> 00:22:10
			Now, when I when I said I'm embodied that, you remember Islam embodied that and Ibrahim alayhi
salam.
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:19
			We last in the last class, we talked about his conversation with his father about
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:25
			the question of worshipping idols, not as radical as it that
		
00:22:27 --> 00:22:41
			evil Emily Salaam insomnia, Allah subhanaw taala said and indeed we be bestowed aforetime on Ibrahim
Ali Salaam, his portion of guidance, as we were well acquainted with him,
		
00:22:42 --> 00:22:53
			as to his belief in Allah subramani salam believed in Allah subhanho wa Taala alone, he did not
commit any share. He did not join anyone in worship with Allah subhanho wa Taala.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:22:57
			And Allah Subhana, Allah says, Allah is
		
00:22:58 --> 00:23:14
			affirming this and asserting that and bearing witness on behalf of his Khalid Ibrahim Halima. And
then Allah said when he said to his father and his people, what are these images to which you are
devoted? So what is this thing you are taught? You have given them names?
		
00:23:16 --> 00:24:03
			You have images, you know, your pictures, you have idols? Now, what are these weddings come from?
And these are we found our fathers worshipping them, forefathers. Now think about this, how many of
us have heard this exact same argument? When you question our own people about various, highly shady
customs and practices that happen, especially in two cases, one related to marriages, and the second
one related to deaths, right birth and death ceremonies and marriages, we have all kinds of customs.
For example, in India, if somebody dies, on the third day of the person's third day he died, we all
get together we have something which is called 00 in
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:23
			Arabic means visiting, I can bet you that if that person who died came to visit you, then you would
have some more funerals to perform after that night. So we have zero on day three specific day, and
then everybody gathers together they distribute all bunch of
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:59
			superheroes, sections of the Quran, and then people read them either silently or aloud. And then you
make dua, and then we eat Vianney. So this is the zero. And then on the fourth day after the person
dies, we have something called a cello, which again is the same thing and it ends with the same
thing which is biryani Now, of course obviously I mean, as you know, and I know that the ultimate
aim is to eat biryani you can't just eat biryani like that you have to have some ceremony involved
with that. So we have created an event. I mean Jokes apart
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:16
			Have the lab you know, and the greatest biriyani fan in the world, I can quite literally eat biryani
three times or three times a day every day. And, and be very happy with that. But do not mix
religion with cuisine.
		
00:25:18 --> 00:25:55
			Really, I love that a great created his beautiful religion. Allah gave us this beautiful religion
which is pure, and we want to adulterate it and infiltrate it, when we get all these this day and
that day and so on from we got them from the Hindu religion, which you know, which is prevalent in
our country. So we got all these customs and practices, and we follow them. And we think it is
Islam, where is the third day, fourth day 20 of the day, then we do the barsi which is the annual
anniversary death anniversary of the person and this again, ends with billion everything has to end
with them. Now think about that and say did Rasul Allah,
		
00:25:56 --> 00:26:29
			Allah salams children Incidentally, all his children died during his lifetime except Fatima. All the
others did it nevertheless. And you do have it. Do you have enough data? We have the books of Hades,
we have the Sierra, we have everything. Do you have anything which says that Nebula Salam Did
somebody Zahra that he did this era of Zeno? delana he did this era Toyota Corolla he did the
janome. Or did he? He loved her
		
00:26:30 --> 00:27:08
			so much that I shall delana said the only person I am jealous of is somebody who's dead and they
said Who's that this is a hobby, but did Nevis Allah Salam prey? Did he do her? bersih did he
celebrate her death anniversary every year? So now how can you do it? When when you have evidence to
show that the province of Assam never did that? The whole of Russia did not do that. Sahaba did not
do that. But you do that? Where did you get this from? Please? Think about that. I mean, this these
are things which Allah will question as if we don't straighten up, straighten up and clean up our
act. Allah subhanho wa Taala will hold us responsible. I don't want that for myself. That's why I'm
		
00:27:08 --> 00:27:29
			I'm telling you and I'm wanting you please get away from all of these practices. This is all
completely and totally outside of Islam. This is 100 a lot but it's very beautiful. I love getting
wet in the rain. strikes. Oh Marcela, there is a there are hailstones
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:35
			Look at that. There are a hailstorm and a lot of hail of the fallings and
		
00:27:37 --> 00:27:38
			let me show you some
		
00:28:08 --> 00:28:09
			Well, there's a
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:17
			I don't want to get myself wet. But there is a lot of hail that is falling on science.
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:23
			Can you see the hill bouncing here on the
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:25
			volley?
		
00:28:32 --> 00:28:35
			Oh, wow, I'm gonna fall on it right here.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:57
			This
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:03
			is not not very big ones. But
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			I mean, you can eat them.
		
00:29:11 --> 00:29:15
			eyes, your eyes from the sky. absolutely pure.
		
00:29:16 --> 00:29:17
			You can
		
00:29:19 --> 00:29:22
			you can eat them because these are absolutely pure.
		
00:29:24 --> 00:29:25
			I'm not.
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:28
			I'm not eating just not because I picked up
		
00:29:29 --> 00:29:33
			the job from the ground. So these people nowadays that the prime minister
		
00:29:35 --> 00:29:47
			said no, this is Alice rhinos and I'm, I'm the witness. And I brought this message to you from Allah
subhanaw taala This is the owner of the heavens and the earth. He is the Creator sustainer
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:52
			maintainer. The projector is operat I mean,
		
00:29:54 --> 00:29:57
			and you don't worship
		
00:29:58 --> 00:29:59
			Allah subhana wa Tada.
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:09
			And then the Brahman is destroyed some of those idols. And he took that hammer with which he had
destroyed them and hung it
		
00:30:10 --> 00:30:19
			around the neck of the biggest idol if we had left and gone somewhere for some festival when he did
that, and when they came back,
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:31
			they asked him, did you do that? So they said, No, the big one, the one who has the hammer around
his neck, he did, not people, they understood that, you know, they said
		
00:30:33 --> 00:30:47
			they knew that, obviously, their God could not do anything. And this was a Sam's, you know, way of
showing them that what they were worshipping had really no power to
		
00:30:48 --> 00:30:52
			say, so obviously, they got very angry. And
		
00:30:55 --> 00:30:56
			he was keep it out.
		
00:30:57 --> 00:31:11
			Again and again told them Why do you worship things which cannot do anything for you, they can't
harm you, they can't benefit you. They can do nothing. Why do you continue to disobey Allah? Why do
you continue to worship other
		
00:31:12 --> 00:31:29
			people are people that we met, once people are convinced that this is what they want to do. They
don't want to listen to anyone or anything, telling them something different. So this is the nature
of the human being
		
00:31:31 --> 00:31:34
			is gonna save us from ourselves and from our, our own nature.
		
00:31:37 --> 00:31:41
			To do something which goes against our own nature,
		
00:31:43 --> 00:31:45
			with the otter of Allah, this is the meaning of
		
00:31:47 --> 00:31:56
			it may be your nature to sleep early in the morning. But you don't do that. Instead of that you get
up and you worship Allah, this is really
		
00:32:01 --> 00:32:47
			many times people say, you may do other things, you know, this is my habit. My wife used to say that
other Ivanka used to say to leave the habit in a bad way. So it is very important to understand not
just TV or not animals, you're not just things which are governed by instinct alone. So it is my
it's, you know, if I'm a cow, and then my instinct is to eat anything which is green, it is I'm
gonna start eating. But we are not cows, we are not animals, we are not governed by our instinct
alone, we are governed by the by what is good and bad, we are governed by our own intellect, we are
governed by our own intelligence. And this is within the framework of the religion that Allah
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:51
			subhanaw taala gave us and therefore we must keep that in mind.
		
00:32:52 --> 00:32:53
			And then
		
00:32:55 --> 00:32:56
			so these people
		
00:32:59 --> 00:33:27
			then said, well, Abraham to be punished Ali Salaam, and this was in Babylon in the time of Nimrod
was the king of the Babylonians. So they lightened. You know, the whole story they like to do with
fire and they throw it into that fire, using a siege engine using a trebuchet a catapult, because
they couldn't get close to a fire. And Allah Subhana Allah ordered the fire.
		
00:33:29 --> 00:34:20
			Guney burden was Allah Allah, Allah. Allah subhanaw taala ordered the fire and said oh fire become
cool, and become a means of safety for Ibrahim alayhis salam. So Allah subhanaw taala Did not I keep
on saying this again and again, I want to emphasize that for you do not allow circumstances do not
allow conditions do not whether these conditions are human made. Or if these conditions are within
natural conditions, do not allow them to make you feel depressed and sad and so on and so forth.
Allah is not bound by conditions Allah subhanho wa Taala is the one who creates the conditions. And
Allah subhanaw taala shows his power and strength by not changing conditions, but by saving you from
		
00:34:20 --> 00:34:59
			the evil effect of that condition. Right now we are under the condition called COVID-19. We are
under this calamity. We are under this great test from Allah subhanho wa Taala of this pandemic,
globally. As I said yesterday, also I think that if somebody had said one year ago, actually even
less than one year ago, if somebody had said to you or me that very soon we are going to see a time
when the whole world will come to a hot every school, every college, every university, every mall,
every casino every bar every place
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:49
			of worship every month, every church, including the harem and Sheree, fine, right? will be shut down
there will be no planes flying in the air there will be no buses, no trains, everything is going to
shut down. There will be no Ramadan and tarawih there will be no chiamo Lail by Gemma there will be
no drama by Gemma. There will be no Hajj the way we know Hajj reaches people from all over the world
congregating to worship Allah subhanho wa Taala, who stand together in on the ninth of June hedger
in Allah in alpha, to make the love of the Kaaba. If somebody says all of this is going to come to a
halt,
		
00:35:50 --> 00:36:15
			you would have said, You are crazy. You are a complete nutcase. There's no way this can happen. And
you would have analyzed it and you would have given that person theological reasons and political
reasons and economic reasons and all kinds of reasons why this statement that the whole world is
comfortable art is complete stuff and nonsense.
		
00:36:16 --> 00:36:20
			Guess what? You would have been wrong.
		
00:36:22 --> 00:36:44
			I don't have to convince anybody about that. You are seeing it, I am seeing it and there is no end
in sight. There is no end in sight, we ask Allah subhanaw taala. To save us We ask Allah subhanaw
taala to lift this pandemic, we asked Allah subhanaw taala to help us to get over this calamity,
there is no end in sight, as I'm speaking to you today.
		
00:36:45 --> 00:37:15
			I cannot say that this will end six months from now, six weeks from now, or six years from now Allah
knows best nela save us from this. People have already started saying that we will not have a COVID
free world, we will have to learn to live with COVID Allah knows best. I mean, they are saying that
they don't know. They don't know what they are saying. But, you know, some, we have to say something
they have to deal with this calamity in some way to retain our sanity. And
		
00:37:17 --> 00:37:59
			we don't have to do all of that material. we retain our sanity by saying Alhamdulillah Allah Rasool
Allah, we thank you, in every situation that you have created, we thank you for COVID because this
came from you. And we asked you to save us from this and to save us from the evil of it. And we
asked you to benefit us from the good of this, which is that Allah subhanaw taala, for example,
locked us up in our homes and said go to improve the relationships with your family. He locked us up
in the old and he said instead of going to the masjid, on throughout Ramadan, for taraweeh and so on
and so forth. And let's face it, my brothers just have a lot of us. That was more social activity
		
00:37:59 --> 00:38:01
			rather than religious activity.
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			People will never go to the masjid for any Salah they will ask you
		
00:38:07 --> 00:38:09
			where are you? Where are you praying?
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12
			Now there's a friend of mine
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:16
			has always been very rigid. He said.
		
00:38:18 --> 00:38:26
			Tommy Guevara, I mean, he says you never come for Salah which is five times a day it is for to pray.
never I never seen a budget for that. You asked me where my brain
		
00:38:28 --> 00:38:32
			is more socializing when I'm going there because my friends come to the campus.
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:35
			People are you must pray.
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:42
			But when the time comes after the trigger, all the 20 racketeers they run away all the great
		
00:38:46 --> 00:38:50
			must pray only 20 What What happened? How come you are following some other
		
00:38:51 --> 00:38:53
			convenience, right convenience.
		
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57
			This is not religion. Please understand that.
		
00:38:59 --> 00:39:06
			This is not religion. So Allah what Allah Subhana Allah says shut down, shut all the massages. Now
pray at home.
		
00:39:08 --> 00:39:17
			Pray at home. It's not a social function, prayer to connect with Allah. So these are the benefits
of, of COVID I mean, our lives became simpler.
		
00:39:18 --> 00:39:23
			Hyderabad, famous for ostentatious wasteful expenditure in weddings.
		
00:39:25 --> 00:39:40
			Can we did people not get married during this period? People were mad. You wanted to get married?
You got married. How did how did that happen? You got married sitting in your house with three or
four people there? That's it. Period. You got married. Was your marriage, not legal.
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:48
			It was legal. Same thing was told to you a million times before this COVID
		
00:39:49 --> 00:39:59
			was said keep simplify your marriages. Small gatherings don't call a million people don't have don't
have ostentatious spending. Don't run these big
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:11
			You know, conference centers and marriage centers and 20 different items of food, keep it simple,
there is Baraka and that Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with that. That is a sonata kasasa
		
00:40:12 --> 00:40:23
			did not go to good Indian boy. So why did Allah do Allah made you walk into a wall and shut up, sit
at home, reflect on this, you want to get married, follow the Sunnah Mohammed Salah.
		
00:40:25 --> 00:40:29
			So Alhamdulillah there are good things that happened with COVID also.
		
00:40:30 --> 00:40:40
			So we ask Allah to save us from the evil We ask Allah to give us the good of this, so that we learn
from this inshallah and we ask Allah subhanaw taala. to,
		
00:40:42 --> 00:40:42
			to,
		
00:40:44 --> 00:40:44
			to to
		
00:40:46 --> 00:40:50
			to save us from this and to deliver us from this test.
		
00:40:52 --> 00:41:03
			I ask Allah subhanaw taala to be pleased with you and never to displace. I ask Allah Subhana Allah
to help us to do that which pleases Him. Our son Allah, Allah, Allah will Karim Allah Allah He was
his main.
		
00:41:04 --> 00:41:06
			Me, but hamdulillah humble amino Salaam Alaikum wa
