Heartify, the new series starting today, Alhamdulillah.

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

I chose this literally because Rasulullah ﷺ said,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:19

إِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةٌ In our body, in

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

your body, there's a piece of flesh.

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

If it is good, صَلُحَ الْجَسَدِ كُلُّهُ If

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

it's good, the whole body will be good.

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

And if it's corrupt, the whole body is

00:00:37 --> 00:00:38

corrupt.

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

So how can we sit down and discuss

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

anything else?

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

If it's good, and who's telling me this?

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

My guide to Jannah.

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

My guide and your guide to Jannah is

00:00:52 --> 00:00:56

telling us, Listen, there's a piece of flesh

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

in your body.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

If you fix it, you're done.

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

And if it's not good, you're done.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

This is from the hadith.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:14

From the Quran, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

00:01:14 --> 00:01:21

said, يَوْمَ لَا يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلَا بَنُونٍ إِلَّا

00:01:22 --> 00:01:26

On that day, no wealth, no properties, no

00:01:26 --> 00:01:31

children, no grandchildren, no progeny, no nothing will

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

benefit.

00:01:33 --> 00:01:34

Again, who's saying this?

00:01:34 --> 00:01:36

The one who is going to decide who's

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38

going to Jannah and who's going to Nahr.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:40

The only one.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:43

He's saying on that day, all that you

00:01:43 --> 00:01:48

are working for, all you are spending most

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51

of your time, dedicating most of your time

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

to acquire, all of that is not going

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

to benefit you.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:56

Of course, if you use it in the

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

wrong manner.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:02

إِلَّا And we agreed on that word إِلَّا,

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

how important it is.

00:02:03 --> 00:02:07

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا So إِلَّا is extremely important.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

No إِلَٰه except.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

So the same term is used here.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

On that day, no children, no wealth will

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

benefit you إِلَّا except.

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

As a person who's looking to enter Jannah,

00:02:27 --> 00:02:31

after I hear this, I have to become

00:02:31 --> 00:02:34

all ears to hear what's after إِلَّا.

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

Right?

00:02:38 --> 00:02:42

Everybody is saved in this room from the

00:02:42 --> 00:02:43

hellfire إِلَّا.

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47

You become all ears.

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

Who's that guy?

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

Right?

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

So Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى is saying, on

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

that day nothing will benefit except.

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

Except what?

00:02:57 --> 00:02:58

Just like I told you, everyone is going

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

to go to punishment except you become all

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

ears.

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

Similarly here, nothing will benefit you except.

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

Except what?

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

The one who comes with a قَلْب سَلِيم.

00:03:11 --> 00:03:14

You tell me please, anyone with a complete

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

brain will concentrate on anything else other than

00:03:17 --> 00:03:18

fixing this قَلْب.

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22

Because this is the only إِلَّا, this is

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23

the only way.

00:03:24 --> 00:03:28

The only way to Jannah is to enter,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

to meet Allah with a قَلْب سَلِيم.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:35

So this will be our main topic for

00:03:35 --> 00:03:40

the next, Allah وعلم, maybe 6, 7, 8,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:41

9 months.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

How to fix this heart?

00:03:45 --> 00:03:48

What are some of the symptoms that you

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

have a sick heart?

00:03:53 --> 00:03:58

What are the diseases of the heart?

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

And how to cure these diseases?

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

So today, I just want to bring the

00:04:13 --> 00:04:18

importance of the topic, and remind me, myself

00:04:18 --> 00:04:24

and remind you, that Rasulullah ﷺ said, listen

00:04:24 --> 00:04:28

carefully, إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا

00:04:28 --> 00:04:41

يَنظُرُ إِلَى صُورِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ Allah

00:04:41 --> 00:04:48

does not look, does not look at your

00:04:48 --> 00:04:56

attire, at your image, or your wealth.

00:04:58 --> 00:05:02

Because we have many many people, unfortunately, they

00:05:02 --> 00:05:07

focus on what people see.

00:05:08 --> 00:05:11

Now here Rasulullah ﷺ saying, إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا

00:05:11 --> 00:05:16

يَنظُرُ He does not look at the way

00:05:16 --> 00:05:19

you look from outside, and about how much

00:05:19 --> 00:05:20

money do you have.

00:05:23 --> 00:05:29

وَلَكِنْ يَنظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَمَالِكُمْ Allahu Akbar So

00:05:29 --> 00:05:32

Allah looks at my heart.

00:05:33 --> 00:05:39

Allah looks at my heart, and my a'mal.

00:05:39 --> 00:05:42

This is the center of attention of Allah.

00:05:42 --> 00:05:44

This is what Allah is looking at.

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

Most of our concentration of what people look

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

at, they see me donate, they see me

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

with a big beard, they see me, what

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

people look at.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:54

And do not belittle the beard and all

00:05:54 --> 00:05:55

that.

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

I'm just saying that should not be my

00:05:57 --> 00:05:57

focus.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

All my focus is on how I look

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

like, and inside is corrupt.

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

Allah looks at the heart.

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

Why?

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

Why this heart is so important?

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

Listen carefully.

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

Let me ask you a question.

00:06:16 --> 00:06:17

I forgot my chocolate.

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

Where is Abdullah?

00:06:20 --> 00:06:21

Abdullah if you can hear me, bring me

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

the chocolate from my office please.

00:06:26 --> 00:06:28

What's the difference between a mu'min and a

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

munafiq?

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

What's the difference between a believer and a

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

hypocrite?

00:06:41 --> 00:06:42

They're both in the first row.

00:06:45 --> 00:06:47

They're both in the first row.

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

Praying.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

To me, I'm looking at people praying.

00:06:56 --> 00:06:59

Allahu Akbar, same movement, everybody's praying.

00:06:59 --> 00:07:03

What differs one person than the other?

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

How much the heart is involved in that

00:07:12 --> 00:07:15

ibadah, it will elevate the ibadah.

00:07:16 --> 00:07:18

This guy is full concentration.

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

Both, by the way, both are doing the

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

same moves, right?

00:07:22 --> 00:07:24

Allahu Akbar, subhanakallahumma.

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

The same moves, same words, same, everything the

00:07:26 --> 00:07:27

same.

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

To me from outside, the one who looks

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

at outside, I cannot see the heart.

00:07:33 --> 00:07:35

Subhanallah, Allah can see the heart.

00:07:36 --> 00:07:37

So for me, they're both praying.

00:07:39 --> 00:07:40

For me, they both went to hajj.

00:07:40 --> 00:07:42

For me, they're both fasting.

00:07:42 --> 00:07:45

For me, they're both just came back from

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

Umrah.

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

For me, they're both reading the Quran.

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

This is for us, right?

00:07:50 --> 00:07:52

But when they are standing in the salat,

00:07:52 --> 00:07:55

what makes this man different than this man,

00:07:55 --> 00:07:59

is how much the heart was involved in

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

that salat, it will elevate that salat.

00:08:02 --> 00:08:04

And that's why the khushu' and the salat

00:08:04 --> 00:08:06

is so important, right?

00:08:07 --> 00:08:11

The more this guy puts so much attention

00:08:11 --> 00:08:14

on his heart to focus on the salat,

00:08:14 --> 00:08:17

that salat, even though from the outside they

00:08:17 --> 00:08:19

both look the same, it is so much

00:08:19 --> 00:08:21

higher in the sight of Allah.

00:08:22 --> 00:08:26

So, the formula is, in any amal, in

00:08:26 --> 00:08:30

any action, the more the heart is involved

00:08:30 --> 00:08:33

in that act of worship, the more rewarding

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

that act of worship is.

00:08:36 --> 00:08:38

You understand?

00:08:38 --> 00:08:40

The more the heart is involved in that

00:08:40 --> 00:08:43

act of worship, whatever that act of worship

00:08:43 --> 00:08:47

is, the more reward that act of worship

00:08:47 --> 00:08:48

will get.

00:08:50 --> 00:08:54

So, obviously, I have to focus on what

00:08:54 --> 00:08:56

we call اعمال القلوب.

00:08:57 --> 00:09:02

اعمال القلوب are way more important than اعمال

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

الباري.

00:09:03 --> 00:09:06

We all know, يا اخوان, that Iman is

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

three things.

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

What is Iman?

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

Iman is saying with the tongue, believing in

00:09:15 --> 00:09:21

the heart, and proving it with the actions.

00:09:22 --> 00:09:26

All three together make you a Mu'min.

00:09:27 --> 00:09:28

How about two out of three?

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

I say, أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله,

00:09:32 --> 00:09:34

and I believe it in my heart, but

00:09:34 --> 00:09:36

I don't pray, I don't fast, nothing.

00:09:36 --> 00:09:37

Good?

00:09:38 --> 00:09:40

Okay, I say أشهد أن لا إله إلا

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

الله, and I pray and I fast, but

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

I don't believe it in my heart.

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

Good?

00:09:44 --> 00:09:46

Okay, I believe it in my heart 100%,

00:09:46 --> 00:09:50

and I fast, and I pray, but I

00:09:50 --> 00:09:51

never said لا إله إلا الله.

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

Who is the example of this?

00:09:59 --> 00:10:03

The uncle of Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم,

00:10:03 --> 00:10:05

he believed that this is the Deen that's

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

true, and he supported Rasulullah صلى الله عليه

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

وسلم with everything he can, but he never

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

said لا إله إلا الله.

00:10:11 --> 00:10:15

And there are many people, they are لا

00:10:15 --> 00:10:16

إله إلا الله, we go back to our

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

topic with those two girls, لا إله إلا

00:10:18 --> 00:10:22

الله, and they pray and they fast because

00:10:22 --> 00:10:24

their parents are pushing them, but there's nothing

00:10:24 --> 00:10:24

in their heart.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:26

Zero.

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

No Iman.

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

It has to be all three together, in

00:10:30 --> 00:10:33

order to be called a Mu'min.

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

In order to be called a Mu'min.

00:10:36 --> 00:10:38

Okay, I will finish with this.

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

What are some of the examples of أعمال

00:10:43 --> 00:10:44

القلوب?

00:10:45 --> 00:10:46

Give me an example.

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

أعمال القلوب.

00:10:47 --> 00:10:48

Actions of the heart.

00:10:49 --> 00:10:49

Like what?

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

Raise your hand.

00:10:55 --> 00:10:56

تفكر.

00:10:56 --> 00:10:59

Pondering upon the creation of Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:02

Love.

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

Love of Allah.

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

All these actions, I look at you, I

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

don't know who you love.

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

Right?

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

Love is an action of the heart.

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

What else?

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

What?

00:11:14 --> 00:11:15

خشوع.

00:11:17 --> 00:11:18

خشوع عن خضوع.

00:11:18 --> 00:11:19

All these are actions of the heart.

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

Contentment is an action of the heart.

00:11:25 --> 00:11:26

How about إخلاص?

00:11:26 --> 00:11:28

That's going to be our first topic.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:29

That's number one.

00:11:29 --> 00:11:32

إخلاص, you look at the crowd around you,

00:11:33 --> 00:11:34

can you tell me, oh this is مخلص,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

this is 50%, this is 75%, nobody knows.

00:11:39 --> 00:11:40

إخلاص is أعمال القلب.

00:11:40 --> 00:11:41

How about تقوى?

00:11:43 --> 00:11:44

تقوى is أعمال القلب.

00:11:45 --> 00:11:45

Right?

00:11:46 --> 00:11:47

Fear.

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

خشع, of Allah, that's أعمال القلب.

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

All these are أعمال القلوب.

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

And this is where we should be focusing

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

a lot.

00:11:56 --> 00:11:57

A lot.

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

As we will see, inshallah تعالى, in the

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

days to come, how important they are.

00:12:10 --> 00:12:19

قانتين والقانتات والصادقين والصادقات والصابرين والصابرات

00:12:19 --> 00:12:28

والخاشعين والخاشعات والخاشعين والخاشعات والمتصدقين

00:12:28 --> 00:12:36

والمتصدقات والصائرين

00:12:36 --> 00:12:46

والصائمات والحافظين فروجهم والحافظات والذاكرين

00:12:46 --> 00:12:54

الله كثيرا والذاكرات أعد الله لهم مغفرة

00:12:54 --> 00:12:58

وأجرا عظيما
