Bismillahi, Rahim, Alhamdulillah, bir Alameen wa salatu wa salambi,
Sareen, Muhammad, Rasulullah Ali. Hi wala Ali. He was a laslevan
kasiran kasi Rafa, my brothers and sisters. The topic of my hubba
today is, where am I in the Quran. Where am I? In the Quran, my
brothers and sisters, Allah sent His Kalam, his word, his speech,
so that we would reflect on it and change our lives to make them
obedient to Him, jala, jalalu,
in that lies our success, both in this life and the akhira in the
next life,
Allah, subhanaw taala said in the Quran, look at anzal na ilaykum,
kitaban fee he the kurukum Allah said in Surah, which means Indeed
We have sent down for you, O mankind, a book the Quran in which
there is zikrukum, there is a reminder. You are mentioned.
Will you then not understand?
Now we know that Allah subhanho wa Taala didn't mention anyone by
name, but Allah subhanaw taala mentioned groups of people and
their qualities, and he mentioned what would happen to people with
those qualities. So groups of people and their qualities in this
life, and Allah told us what will happen to people with those
qualities when they go before him. Jala. Jalu,
now it's important, therefore,
to search for ourselves and see which group we fit into,
and that's what we need to reflect and ask ourselves, where do I fit?
Where will I find myself
if I look for myself in the Quran,
and then
it is for us to choose the characteristics that we need to
develop in our lives, depending on the kind of life we want to have
in the akhira
Allah, subhana. Allah gave us the pen
to write our destiny any way we want.
Jannah or jahana are both within our reach. It is for us to pick
what we want for ourselves.
The choice is a no brainer, obviously, because we all want to
go to Jannah, but the test is in living the kind of life that will
take us to Jannah,
for on the Day of Judgment, it is our actions that will speak, not
our tongues.
Allah subhanaw taala said, Al yamanah Tim wala Avahi, UK him.
Watashi hadu arjula home, Bima kano yaksi boon in Surat ya seen
Allah said, This day,
we shall seal up their mouths
and their hands will speak to us, and their legs will bear witness
to what they used to earn. Now,
brothers and sisters
as an exercise in contemplation in murakawa,
for tasya tunafs, it is to look at our right hand
and imagine this hand speaking.
What do I hear it saying,
Do we like what we are hearing?
If not? What do we want to do about that?
Then do the same thing with your left hand and let us do the same
thing with our feet. And let us do the same thing with our eyes and
our ears and the whole body.
What do we hear each part saying to Allah about how we used it?
This is the way to approach the Quran,
literally as a guide to action
and then to act on that immediately.
Allah subhanahu mentioned one group and their ending as a metric
for us to measure ourselves against. And he said in Namal,
meaning una LADEE na either look here, Allahu wa jilath kolom,
whom
you.
True
believers, truly the
believers
in naval mumino,
are only those whose hearts tremble
with the awe and majesty and glory of ALLAH SubhanA wa Taala when
they remember Allah dukhir Allahu wah
and their faith increases
when His Ayat, when his revelations, are recited to them,
atulia, to who zadat Hum, Imana, their faith increases. Their heart
shivers with the glory and majesty of Allah, and their faith
increases when Allah is mentioned and when the kalam of Allah is
recited before them, when they see the ayat the signs of Allah
subhanho wa Taala in creation wa Allah Rabbah, him yattawa colon
and who put their trust in Allah subhana wa taala, the result of
the heart being responsive to the word of Allah, the result of faith
increasing with the recitation of the Quran and we seeing the signs
of Allah around us is that we learn to trust and have complete
and total reliance on Allah, subhanho wa taala. And then Allah
said,
they are those who establish the Salah ukunu, Salah wambara, and
they spend from what We have provided for them.
And then Allah, subhanaw taala gave them a seal of approval.
Allah said, It is they who are the true believers. ULA ika, humul,
Mino na haqqan,
they are the true believers,
and they will have elevated rags, lahomdand, Arab behim, they will
have elevated ranks with their rubs, wama, Firas Kun Kareem, and
they will have forgiveness. And they will have an honorable
provision,
five critical characteristics, three internal and two external, a
heart that is responsive to Allah subhanahu wa and to his word, a
heart that sees the signs of Allah subhana wa Taala in his creation,
and this increases its faith, and a body that submits an obedience
and exerts itself in worship of Allah subhana wa Taala and in
charity with The intention to please Allah subhana wa Taala
alone.
This is the metric. This is the framework. This is the metric that
we must check ourselves against to see where we stand and what we
need to change. Allah subhana wa Tara introduced himself. Listen to
this and check your heart to see What happens.
Allah said, Allahu,
Allahu, Sinha, Lahoma,
FISA,
who Allah, Ali
Mullah Viva Shada ti Hua rahman, rahim Hu Allahu, alayall
Al malikul, Kunduz o salaam,
Asmaa,
all.
Allah swam Ade la mealydo, Alam ULA de wala me ko for
let me
narrate for you the translation of these beautiful ayat the first is
AYATUL kursi.
Allah subhanho. Tara introduced himself and he said,
Allah La ilaha illa, who there is no God worthy of worship except
him. The ever living all sustaining
neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes him. To Him belongs
everything and whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth. Who could possibly intercede with him without his
permission? He fully knows what is ahead of them and what is behind
them, but no one can grasp any of his knowledge except what He wills
to reveal. He sees encompasses the heavens and the earth. The
preservation of both does not tire Him, for He is the Most High, the
greatest,
the second chakra ayat, the last two ayat of surah Al hashar, where
Allah said He is Allah,
who Allah
there is no God worthy of worship except him,
knower of the perceived and the unperceivable. Shahala,
the knower of the unperceivable and the perceived.
He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. He is Allah. There is no
god except Him, the King, the most holy, the all perfect, the source
of serenity, the water over all, the Almighty, the supreme in
Might, the majestic Glorified is Allah above whatever they
associate with him.
He is Allah the Creator, the inventor, the shaper. He alone has
the most beautiful names. He
and the last one
in the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful,
say, O Prophet UL
Allahu Ahad, He is Allah, one and indivisible.
Allah, the Sustainer. Everything needs him, and he needs nothing.
He has never had offspring, nor was he born. He did not beget, and
he wasn't begot, and there is none comparable to him.
So three internal qualities.
What about the other qualities that Allah mentioned,
establishing salah and spending in the path of Allah,
not just praying anytime I feel like praying, establishing salah
and spending in the path of Allah, which is not only zakat. Zakat is
fourth. This is in addition to zakat,
what is our score on this metric, and are we satisfied with it? If
you are satisfied, Alhamdulillah, if not, what's the plan to change
our lifestyle so that we can pass this test of faith and gain the
guarantee that Allah Subhana watara gave those who passed the
test. ULA ika, humul muraka,
I remind myself a new Islam is a practice, not a philosophy. A
Muslim is one who practices Islam, not just somebody who knows about
Islam.
Then Allah mentioned another group
and said something very salutary, something for us to take a lesson
from where he said, womananna Shiva yakul, wamanin
yokha,
the
OM allahuna, Manu Am I Allah
said, and there are some who say, we believe in Allah and the Last
Day. Yet they are not believers.
They are not mumini. They are not true believers. They seek to
deceive Allah and the believers, yet they only deceive.
Of themselves, but they fail to perceive it.
There is sickness in their hearts, fear kullubhim, marath and Allah
only lets their sickness increase. They will suffer a painful
punishment for their lies, the mahakanu Ik ziboon, because they
are liars.
Now, these ayat were revealed concerning the munafiq, the
hypocrites during the time of Rasulullah.
But like all of the Quran, the azbabul nozoul, the circumstances
of revelation do not restrict the applicability of the ayat to the
time and place of their revelation. The Quran came for all
of mankind, for all time, and is not restricted in any way.
Allah subham mentioned the two things that we take for granted,
claiming to have faith in Allah and the day of judgment. And we
think that this is enough. Allah subhana said that this is not
enough,
and that to make this claim, but to live a life of disobedience is
a sign of heart disease.
But unlike physical cardiac ailments, which are restricted, in
effect, to this life, this is a spiritual disease, which, if
allowed to grow, will lead to the hellfire. In Islam, our belief
must be supported by our actions. And that is why the Quran, in the
Quran, Iman
faith is always coupled with good deeds. Iman wa I am what Amala
Saleh Iman was Ali and
is never mentioned alone.
On the contrary, Allah subhanaw taala stated clearly and simply
clearly that simply claiming to have faith is not sufficient, but
that the claim must be supported by deeds, by obedience, as
evidence of faith, Allah said in hojurad, karate Arab, Aman Kun LAN
Tu, minu wala kinholo, Aslam, walamma yada, holy manufi kolo
vikum wa into Tira, WA into tira. Wain tu ti on laha wa rasulah ho
la yalit Kum, Min Ahma Ali Kum Shaya
in Allah, Rahim Allah, said some of the nomadic Arabs, they say we
believe. Say to them, oh Prophet, Muhammad, sallAllahu, sallam, you
have not believed,
but say, we have submitted. You have you have not. You do not have
imag. You have say, Aslam, we have we have faith. We have just. You
know Islam for faith has not yet entered your hearts. But if you
obey Allah and His Messenger wholeheartedly, he would not
discount anything from the reward of your deeds. Allah is truly all
Forgiving and most Merciful.
So Allah is saying that if you do the right thing, show it by your
actions, as for those who seek to please Allah and may Allah make us
among them. Allah told us how easy it is to please Him and earn
Jannah, he said, in Allah, Dina, kaura, bonalla, Himal Bala ika,
Allah,
Taha, Zanu wa abushiro, Lati Allah said,
Verily, those who say, our RAB is Allah alone, and then they ista
kamu, they have, they remain steadfast on it, on them, the
angels will descend at The time of their death, saying, Fear not,
don't grieve, don't be sad, don't be afraid, but receive the glad
tidings of Jannah which you have been promised.
May Allah enable us to be among those who will be given the glad
tidings of Jannah at the time of death itself, before we die, we
will be given inshallah the glad tidings of Jannah, a time where
every living being will have
anxiety of various levels, because he or she is facing a time which
they have never faced before,
especially when some of us live lives as if we don't believe that
death will come to us, yet we claim to be Muslim,
it's time to wake up. Time to wake up.
The key is tekkavat. The key is steadfastness. Consistency is the.
Essence of quality. High quality means to deliver the same high
standard for every transaction, not just one time.
That is the meaning of ista Kamath, consistent good quality.
We must develop the consciousness of Allah's presence in our lives.
This gives us huge confidence and protects us from sin that
istikhama, steadfastness will result in husnar, khatima, in a
good ending and Bashara, the good news of Jannah. InshaAllah, ask
Allah this for all of us. Abu, lust of Allah, Ali wala, kumbali,
sail Muslim, first of Europe in the whole world.
