Muhammad
Ali. He was Abu
Asmaa, in Asda, Qul Hadith kita, Abullah Wadi Hadi Muhammad in

Wakulla, mahada sat in bida, Wakulla, bedam wala wat Na,
mighty, respected, brothers, sisters, elders.
The topic of my is, where am I in the Quran?
Where am I in the Quran?
Allah sent down His speech
Kalama the Quran, so that we would reflect on it and thereby change
our lives to make them obedient to Him. Jala janaru,
in that lies our success, both in this life and in the hereafter. In
the aqara,
Allah said, lakad, anzalah, ilaikum, kitaaban, fihi, zi
kurukum, afala, takhi Lun
in Surah, Al ambiya, Allah, subhanaw Tara said, Indeed We have
sent down for you, O mankind, a book the Quran in which there is
zikarukum. You have been mentioned as a reminder, as an honor,
Will you not then understand laka, danzhalla, Ilahi, Kum kita, Aban
fihi zikuru.
Now we know that Allah Subhana watara didn't mention any of us 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 when we read the Quran and
we come upon this kind of a description, we must ask
ourselves, which group do I belong to?
If that is good, Alhamdulillah, all Praise to Allah, thanks to
Allah, and we ask Allah for steadfastness to remain there.
If not,
then we need to ask, What must I change in my life to be in that
group which will go to Jannah,
Allah, subhanaw taala gave the pen in our hands to write our own
destiny.
We can choose where we want to go to Jannah or jahana
to paradise or to the hellfire.
Our choice.
We can choose where we want to go. If we make a wrong choice, we have
the opportunity to make the right choice. Get out from that list,
get into this list, everything until the day we die.
Then it is sealed.
So let us choose wisely.
The choice, obviously, if somebody asks you, is a no brainer, because
nobody says, I want to go to the hellfire.
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 said, Al yamarahi, him what to call li Muna ID him, watashima,
kanwik, sibun. Allah said, On that day, we will seal up their mouths.
All the clever arguments, answers won't work
because the tongue won't speak.
This day we will seal up their mouths, and their hands will speak
to us, and their legs will bear witness to what they used to earn.
An exercise in contemplation does get to nerve switch,
but.
Ashak used to teach us,
he would say, look at your right hand, and imagine this right hand
is speaking.
Sit peacefully by yourself. Look at your right hand. Imagine this
hand is speaking, because this hand will
speak. This hand will speak. So imagine the hand is speaking. What
do you hear it saying?
What do you hear your hand saying?
And then ask yourself, Do I like what I'm hearing?
If not? What do I want to do about that?
Then do the same thing with the left hand, then do the same thing
with the feet, then do the same thing with the eyes and with the
ears and the whole body.
What do we hear each part saying to Allah subhanho wa Taala about
how we used it?
Allah this body is a trust from Allah. Doesn't belong to us.
Belongs to Allah. Allah gave this body in our control and our trust
for a short period of time where Allah made this whole body
subservient to us. If I want my hand to do something haram, it
won't stop, it will do haram.
If I want my hand to do something good, it won't stop. It will do
good if I if I want my eyes to look at something haram, something
prohibited, my eyes will look
if I want my eyes to look at something which is good, the eyes
will look
likewise for the entire body.
But a day will come
when that same hand which was forced to disobey Allah by me will
speak against me.
With the same eyes
which were forced to look at things which Allah prohibited
will speak against me. I
And this lying 12 hours
will be shut.
This is the way to approach the Quran literally,
not allegorically,
not putting our own interpretations and what, not
literally. Allah said, your tongue will be sealed up. What does it
mean? It means your tongue will be sealed up. Period. There is no
allegorical meaning to that. Your tongue will be seized up. Your
hand will speak. What does it mean? It means your hand will
speak. Read my lips.
You don't have to believe me, because the day will come when you
and I will see it,
except one small detail, and that is that if that hand says
something which I don't want to hear on that day, there is no
changing that.
The time to change is now. Now.
Let us see what see what groups Allah mentioned. Allah subhanaw
taala mentioned one group,
and Allah gave us this information like a metric, like a meter for us
to check ourselves against.
Allah. Subhanaw taala said in naval Minun al adinat kolobum,
why? Tulia, talahi, Maya, thuzad, Homi, mana wala, Rabbi, himya,
tava kalunayuki, Muna swala, tavami Hum Yum, vifun, Ulay
ka humor, minoona, the
real believers are only those whose hearts tremble and shiver at
the remembrance of the glory and majesty of Allah. In awe of the
glory and majesty of Allah, hearts are responsive. They are alive,
and whose faith increases when Allah, subhanaw, taala, Ayat, when
his revelations, when the ayat of the Quran, when the verses of the
Quran are recited before them, and they hear them,
and these are the people who put their trust in Allah, Subhanahu wa
alone.
They fear nobody except Allah. And then Allah said two
other things. They are those who establish the salah.
And who spend in the path of Allah from what we have given them.
And then Allah, subhanaw taala gave a certificate, and Allah
said, ull munahaqa,
it is they who are the true believers in.
Who is saying this, Allah, they are
the true believers. And
what is the benefit of that? They will have elevated ranks before
Allah, Dara, jayath, bihim,
omal, firatu, variskun, Kareem, and they will have forgiveness ra
Allah, subhana wa taala, and they will have a beautiful, honorable
provision from there,
five critical characteristics, three, internal, two, external, a
heart that is responsive to Allah subhanahu wa taala and to his
word, a heart that sees the signs of Allah subhanahu wa taala in his
creation. And this increases this faith and a body that submits in
obedience to Allah subhanaw taala and exerts itself in worship of
Allah and in the CHA and in charity with the intention to
please Allah subhanaw taala alone.
This is the metric to evaluate ourselves.
Allah said about the value of a responsive heart on the Day of
Judgment, Allah said, yam Allah, Yan FAW, malum, wala Banon, Illa,
man at all. Lahab, Kal bin Salim. Allah said, That day when neither
wealth nor children, neither money nor influence will be of any
benefit, only those who come to Allah, subhanaw taala with a pure
heart, with a responsive heart, will be saved.
The single most reliable sign of true feeling is action. Actions
are evidence
if I love my spouse, what is the sign of that in my life?
If I love my country, what is the evidence of that in my life? If I
love my family or friends, what is the evidence of that if I claim to
love reading, I will have to ask myself, how many books did you
read this year, if I claim that my heart shivers with the majesty and
glory of Allah subhanahu wa when I listen to the Quran, I see the
signs of my creator around and within me. What is the evidence of
that?
Not to show to anyone, but to prove it to myself, because a day
will come when this evidence will be in my favor or against me.
If I claim that my heart shivers with the Majesty of Allah, but I
earn and eat haram.
If I am selling alcohol and I am selling beer and I am selling
* and I am selling lottery, that I am selling
cigarettes in my shops, and that is my earning, and I'm feeding my
family with that. And I say, my heart shiver to the glory and
majesty of Allah. Remember a day will come when you will answer to
Allah, subhana wa taala, and there will be no one there to help you
to answer.
If I eat anything that doesn't walk anymore, I'm not interested
whether it's zabiha non zabiha, as long as it's dead, I eat it. I
will answer to Allah.
If I claim that my heart shivers with the glory of Allah, subhanho
wa taala. But park my car on my neighbor's lawn, or
I drive to the majes Because I am late, I drive through the road
like a bed out of *,
then I will answer Allah,
because my actions give the light to my claim.
On the other hand, if I claim that my heart is responsive to Allah,
subhanho wa taala, and I am kind and I am compassionate, if I have
the courage to stand for the truth against falsehood, then my actions
prove my claim. It
doesn't matter what spin I put on my actions, my heart knows the
truth, and my Rab Allah knows the truth,
and on the Day of Judgment, only and only the truth will prevail.
Allah mentioned two other qualities, establishing salah and
spending in the path of Allah.
Establishing salah, not praying whenever I feel like praying,
spending in the path of Allah as an investment in our akhira, which
is what it is, not simply discharging what we consider
really to be a burden,
obeying joyfully, not under duress,
brothers and sisters, I remind myself and you. Let us check our
score. Are we satisfied? If not, Alhamdulillah,
all thanks to Allah, we have the opportunity to change. So what's
the plan to change our lifestyle so that we can pass this test of
faith and get the guarantee that Allah subhanahu wa taala gave to
those who passed the test where he said hula ika humul mean, una
Hakka, lahum Dara.
Kashira from abadu,
Makara, Tala in Allah. Amala ikat, Abu Asmaa, yawala, Dina, Abu Salu,
alaihi, wasallam, Muhammad, I Muhammad, Kamala Ibrahim, alaihid,
Allah bare Kala, Mohammadi, wala Ali, Muhammad, Kamala, Ibrahim,
awala Ibrahima in the kahamidon Majeed, my
brothers and sisters, I remind myself and you
that Islam is a practice. It's not a philosophy.
A Muslim is one who practices Islam. There is no such thing as
an NPM non practicing Muslim, if you are not practicing a non
Muslim. Allah subhanahu Tala mentioned another group
in the Quran
and said something very, very salutary about that group.
Allah subhanahu Tala said, wamin, Anna, Sima, yakool, he WAV,
yamilah, khiriwam, meaning,
Abu
Abu Ali Mumbai, Allah. Subhana, Allah said, and there are some who
say we believe in Allah. And the last day,
listen carefully, Allah is not saying. There are some who deny
Allah, who are atheists, who are this Allah saying, they say we
believe in Allah, and they say we believe in the day of judgment,
but Allah is saying, but they are not believers. Huma, humbu,
meaning, but they are not believers.
Ajit, very strange, right? I say I believe in Allah, I believe in the
Day of Judgment. But Allah is saying you are not a Muslim. Allah
is saying you are not a believer.
Allah says
they seek to deceive Allah. They try to deceive Allah and the
believers, yet they only deceive themselves, but they fail to
perceive that. They don't even realize that there is sickness in
their hearts,
and Allah does not say, I will cure it. Allah says there is
sickness in their hearts, and Allah lets that sickness increase,
and they will suffer a painful punishment, Bima, kandyak, zeebun,
because they were liars.
Now we know that these ayat were revealed concerning the munafiqi
in the hypocrites during the time of Salam. But like all of the
Quran, the Azhar nuzool, the circumstances of revelation do not
restrict the applicability of the ayat to the time and place of
Revelation.
Anyway, whatever is, how come the hakam is good for all people all
time.
The Quran came for all of mankind, and is not restricted by time and
place.
Allah subhanaw taala took to mention two things here that we
take for granted, claiming to have faith in Allah and the day of
judgment, and we think that this is enough. Allah subhanaw taala
said, 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, 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, in the Quran, Faith Iman is always coupled with good deeds,
Amal us Ali and is not mentioned alone.
On the contrary, Allah subhanho Tara stated clearly that simply
claiming to have faith is not sufficient, but that the claim
must be supported by deeds as evidence of faith. Allah said,
kalathila Ara Abu Asmaa kulam Tu minu wala akin kolu Aslam,
walammayad, Kulu bhi Ko kulovikum, wain Tuti Allah ha wa Rasul
Allahu, la yalit Kum Min ahmaha, for Uru Rahim Allah said, the
Arab, some of the nomadic Arabs, they say we believe we have Iman.
Allah says.
Say to them, oh, Hamma, sallAllahu, alaihi, salam, you
have not believed. You don't you don't have Iman. But say we have
entered Islam. We have Islam,
but faith has not entered your hearts. Who is saying that?
Asiru kalau, Mahir Nahu, Ali mumbathi, sudho Allah said he
knows what is in your hearts,
what you can say something openly or you can hide it, but Allah
knows what's in the heart that Allah is saying faith is not
entered you simply said, Laila illallah, Muhammad, rasulallah,
good one step.
But don't imagine that this means faith has entered your heart. So
what will what is the meaning of faith entering Allah said, but if
you obey Allah and His Messenger
wholeheartedly, if you obey Allah and His Messenger,
then faith would can be said to have entered your hearts. Allah
said, then. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger wholeheartedly,
Salah, Salem He Allah subhanaw taala will not discount anything
from the reward of your deeds. Allah is truly all forgiving, Most
Merciful. Now, brothers and sisters, as I reminded myself and
you, Allah, subhanaw taala demands that we demonstrate evidence of
belief.
And as for those who seek to please Allah. May Allah make us
among them. Allah, subhanaw taala told us how easy it is to please
Him and to earn Jannah. Not difficult, very easy.
Allah Tara said
in Allah, Allah, latahazano wa Chiro, viljan
atone, na Hanu, wala, Kung Fu. Ha, Mata hem wala, kung
VI.
Ha, mata darwon
No zolom, said, Verily, those who say our Rabbi is Allah, they have
said that and then istikamu. They stand and remain steadfast on it.
What is the meaning of saying Rabban, Allahu, takamu? It means I
when I say, my RAB is Allah. Who do I obey my Rab? I don't say, my
RAB is Allah, and then I obey my own nafs, and I obey shaytaan and
I obey this one that No, I say, Allah is my Rab. I obey Allah.
I say, Muhammad, Salla Salam is the Nabhi of Allah. AJ, I follow
him. I follow him.
That's the meaning of
in what, in everything in life,
not only in Salah. How do we pray the way rasulallah prayed,
means with the taqbir, tarima, Allahu, Akbar. Why did I say
Allah? Abu Asmaa said it, then I recite Sana, then I reside sur
Fatiha, then I say another Surah. Why am I reciting Fatiha first?
Because Muhammad sallallah Sallam did it.
No other reason. I said no, I will recite Fatiha, but I will recite
another Surah. First Class, first. No, no, no, no. Salah. Invalid
kalas, pray again.
Then I go into Rua. I said, No, no, I feel very close to Allah.
Let me want to sudo first salah, invalid.
My knee is good. I want to please Allah. I want to be close to Allah
and NaVi salaam said, the slave is closest to Allah in sajda. So I
want to begin with sajdah. I sunmastarama means to put our
actions where our tongue is. I say, Allah is my RAM. I obey
Allah. I say, Nabi. Muhammad SAW, Salam is my Nabi. I follow the
NABI.
I don't play games with this.
When that happens? Allah, subhanaw Taal said now he is talking about
the day which will come to every single one of us, no exception,
when we will face death,
when we will be visited by angels.
And then what will happen? Allah said, angels will descend on them,
and they will say, have no fear,
have no sadness, receive the glad tidings of Jannah, which you have
been promised.
And there you will have everything you desire and everything you
wished for and everything you asked for
We are your friends. We are your awliya, we are your protectors. We
are your supporters. We were in this dunya, also, you couldn't see
us. Now, you can see us, and we will continue with you. You are
not going to go alone. We are accompanying you. You will be
taken in an entourage. You will be taken in style.
Now.
Abandoned, no,
and all of this, this Bashara is good news before the soul has even
left the body.
No, for Syrian, the people of the of the explanation of the Quran,
they said, No, sir,
is like what we do, like a welcome drink. So they said, Imagine that
this friend of yours, relative, brother, sister of yours, you're
really expecting them. You know, waiting years to expect them. Oh,
I wish you come fast. Now coming. You go to the airport, you pick
them up, you bring them home. Now you have got all kinds of plans
for them, right? You got this fantastic meal you're going to
make for them, or has been made for them. You're taking them here
then. But the first thing you do, what you don't say, here is the
biryan. Eat it right? Here is the whole roast lamb. No,
you say, have a drink.
Here's a cold drink. You come tired after a long journey. Here
is something to take away your tiredness, that welcome drink,
which is
a precursor of very many great, lovely and wonderful things to
come.
This nozzle is this Bashara, these glad tidings say, have no fear.
Wala, no fear and no sadness.
Ask Allah this for all of us, may Allah grant that these things,
these ayat which we recite, Allah makes them true for us inshaAllah,
may Allah, subhanta wa enable us to be among those who will be
given the glad tidings of Jannah at the time of death itself, a
time where every living being will have anxiety of various levels, no
matter who that person is, no matter how learner, no matter what
kind of worry, no matter what
they will be anxious. They will be afraid. They will be fearful. What
is going to happen to me? They've never been there before,
and then Allah will send these people.
Will send these angels.
Please, mothers and sisters, let us stop living our lives as if we
believe we will live forever. We will not live forever.
In the last 10 days, I received reports of five of my closest
friends, including my cousin's husband
and one friend who was my friend for almost 55 years,
and every one of them younger than me,
they died
the last 10 days, all
natural causes. I mean nobody killed
them. So how long do you think I have?
How long do you think we have? Let's stop living as if death will
never come. It's always somebody else's janada That I will attend.
Sure You can't be saying you can't be said to be attending your own
Janata. Okay, to yours. In
conclusion, the key to success is istikhama. Steadfastness,
consistency is the essence of quality. High quality means to
deliver the same high standard for every transaction. That is the
meaning of istikhama, we must develop the consciousness of
Allah, subhanaw Tara's presence in our lives factor Allah into the
equation, because he is in it anyway. This gives us huge
confidence that my RAB is with me and protects us from sin, because
anytime there is a sin, my RAB is with me. How can I commit this?
The beautiful feeling of this, may Allah grant it to us.
When my rabbi with me, I fear nothing. And when my rabbi is with
me, I cannot disobey Allah. He is with me, that sense of of Maya, of
Allah, subhanho wa taala.
And this is tikhawat Inshallah, we ask Allah for this will give us,
Inshallah, khatima, a good ending, and the Bashara, The Good News of
jannah
Inshallah, Rabbana, Allah,
Madina, babarik,
I'm.
Ya rabbal, Alamin, Jay Bala, rainma come Allah in Allah come to
