			subhanaw taala, to bestow His love
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12
			in our hearts
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			for him,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			and to help us
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			love what he loves,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:29
			and to give us love for those that
he loves. And whatever he grants
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			us of that which we love,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			make it strength
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			to do that which he loves, and
whatever he keeps away from us of
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			what we love,
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:49
			let it be free time for us to do
that which he loves.
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:57
			The topic for today is loving the
Quran, living the Quran.
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			So initially, I want to start with
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:06
			asking a simple question, what is
love.
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:13
			And everyone has a different idea
of what love is.
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:19
			But we can all agree that love is
a state of the heart.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:26
			It's a feeling, it's an experience
of intense emotion.
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:34
			It's a deep sense of affection for
someone you are pleased with and
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			care about
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			and to whom you make a commitment.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:47
			So love is that special
relationship between the lover and
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:54
			the beloved. That also generates a
sense of security and stability.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:59
			And true love consumes the lover
		
00:03:00 --> 00:03:06
			to the extent that the beloved,
constantly resides in the
		
00:03:06 --> 00:03:13
			forefront of his thoughts and
overrides all other concerns, that
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:19
			the heart keeps turning towards
the beloved, and is fully occupied
		
00:03:20 --> 00:03:21
			and consumed by the beloved.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:33
			The word believe in English is
related to beloved, it's related
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:33
			to love.
		
00:03:35 --> 00:03:35
			So,
		
00:03:37 --> 00:03:38
			you have love,
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:47
			for who or what you are pleased
with. And you believe in that
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			person and you accept that.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:56
			Similarly, in the Arabic language,
the word that comes closest to
		
00:03:56 --> 00:04:00
			love or which is translated as
love is, hub.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:11
			And the root, origin of the word
hub is the same root as hub bat,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:13
			which is a seed.
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:23
			So a habit, a seed needs, to be
nurtured, to make it grow to come
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:26
			to its full potential to become a
tree.
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:35
			Similarly, help love for someone
needs to be nurtured and made to
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36
			grow,
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:42
			particularly by knowing the
beloved, the attributes of the
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			Beloved, the characteristics of
the Beloved, because you cannot
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			love anyone who you do not know
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:52
			to keep that in mind.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			Now Allah subhanaw taala has made
hub love for him
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			As a condition of Eman
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:10
			that there is no belief unless
there is help.
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:17
			And last month Allah not only
wants herb love, but he wants help
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:22
			before him to be above all other
loves that we might have.
		
00:05:24 --> 00:05:29
			Unless one fella says in the Quran
we're Mina Nassim may yet decay
		
00:05:29 --> 00:05:35
			Dolman don't lie. And don't you
have Boohoo? Kaffir Billa that
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:41
			among mankind are some who take
for worship others besides Allah
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:49
			as rivals to Allah, they love them
as they love God for Bill as they
		
00:05:49 --> 00:05:54
			love Allah. There are some people
like that. Then Allah subhanaw
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:59
			taala says, well, leadin Emma No,
a shudder humbly.
		
00:06:00 --> 00:06:06
			But those who believe they love
Allah more than anything and
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:07
			everything else.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			So Allah subhanaw taala requires
from us that her beloved for him
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:18
			to be more than anything else.
		
00:06:19 --> 00:06:23
			And and also part of our iman as
Rasulullah Salallahu Salam teaches
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:29
			us is Hopi love for Rasul allah
sallallahu sallam, out of our
		
00:06:29 --> 00:06:31
			hope, love for Allah Subhan.
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:43
			Allah subhanaw taala says in the
Quran addressing the Prophet
		
00:06:43 --> 00:06:44
			salallahu Alaihe Salam, he says,
		
00:06:47 --> 00:06:52
			Say oh Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam in contempt Boone Allah foot
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:58
			there only you become a law. Well,
Fiddler Coombs, the new Baku will
		
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00
			love over photo Rahim
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:07
			that if you claim that you truly
love Allah subhanaw taala if you
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11
			truly love Allah subhanaw taala
then follow me Allah subhanaw
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			taala is telling the Prophet
salallahu alayhi salam, tell them
		
00:07:14 --> 00:07:19
			to follow you as a sign of their
love for Allah subhanaw taala and
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:23
			if you do that Allah will your
fair lagoon welcome, he will
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:27
			forgive your sins, while law who
have a photo hang is the all
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:29
			forgiving, the All Merciful.
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:40
			So the two most important or most
potent drivers within us that
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:47
			drive us to act to action are the
two emotions of health, love, and
		
00:07:47 --> 00:07:48
			fear health.
		
00:07:50 --> 00:07:54
			This is what drives us to action
more than any other and everything
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:58
			else that we might think of
ultimately goes back to these two
		
00:07:58 --> 00:07:59
			routes.
		
00:08:00 --> 00:08:08
			Our Deen of Islam, our fate, our
religion, our way of life is
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:14
			overwhelmingly based on love
unhealed for Allah and His
		
00:08:14 --> 00:08:15
			messenger.
		
00:08:16 --> 00:08:23
			Yet it also maintains an element
of fear, if that is what is your
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:23
			drive.
		
00:08:25 --> 00:08:30
			So Allah subhanaw taala has put
both as we talk in today's lingo,
		
00:08:30 --> 00:08:32
			the carrot and the stick.
		
00:08:34 --> 00:08:40
			There is descriptions of Janna to
entice you to tempt you to love
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:44
			and longing for it. And there is
descriptions of Jana, for whom
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:49
			this doesn't work, that that fear
component comes and fear is also
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:53
			good, but hub is at a higher
level.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:59
			And part of that fear is not just
a burning in the fire, but is the
		
00:08:59 --> 00:09:04
			fear which is generated out of
love for Allah what is that fear,
		
00:09:04 --> 00:09:08
			the fear of displeasing the one I
love, which is Allah subhanaw
		
00:09:08 --> 00:09:08
			taala.
		
00:09:10 --> 00:09:14
			Now, the love of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam is also
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:18
			mandatory because rasool Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam teaches us
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:22
			in a text which is Mustafa
coronally agreed upon by the
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:26
			scholars the greatest had disowned
Buhari and Muslim
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:33
			he says Salah and your Salam let
me know I had a cold Hatter Hakuna
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:39
			hubba Alaihe min wala de vie Liddy
one nasty edge mine, which means
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:43
			this narrated by the companion and
this evening Malik wrote the alarm
		
00:09:43 --> 00:09:47
			on that the messenger of allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:52
			none of you have faith. Let me
know how come no one of you can
		
00:09:52 --> 00:09:57
			have faith until I am more beloved
to him than his children. His
		
00:09:57 --> 00:09:59
			father means parents and
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:05
			To all of the people I do mind,
combine your love for every one
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:09
			that you love, the love for a
surah Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:11
			has to be greater than that.
		
00:10:13 --> 00:10:17
			In another narration Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam said, A
		
00:10:17 --> 00:10:22
			Boonie cap Billa you love me out
of your love for Allah
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:33
			Wa, boo, boo, I live at the hubby
and love my island bait out of
		
00:10:33 --> 00:10:37
			your love for me. In other words,
this
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:42
			chain of love the Silsila of love
is all because we love Allah.
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:52
			So, the question arises, we know
that requirements, why should we
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:55
			love Allah subhanaw taala because
love has to be an emotion it
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:00
			cannot be dictated. Okay? What are
the reasons?
		
00:11:01 --> 00:11:07
			Well, Allah subhanaw taala not
firstly, should be loved, for who
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:07
			he is.
		
00:11:09 --> 00:11:12
			If you know Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:11:13 --> 00:11:18
			you if you truly know Him, as he
should be known, you will have no
		
00:11:18 --> 00:11:24
			other emotion other than to love
him. Why, because of his absolute
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:29
			and infinite beauty and perfection
in every aspect and every
		
00:11:29 --> 00:11:34
			attribute that we know and that we
don't know. That was before and
		
00:11:34 --> 00:11:38
			after eternity, which is part
		
00:11:40 --> 00:11:41
			of him.
		
00:11:44 --> 00:11:45
			His creation
		
00:11:46 --> 00:11:51
			is finite, time is finite, Allah
has absolute and perfect and
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:57
			infinite before and his absolute
and perfect and infinite after.
		
00:12:00 --> 00:12:03
			We should love him for that for
who he is.
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:10
			Secondly, we should love Him
because of His infinite favors
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:15
			upon us out of gratitude when
someone keeps doing favors and
		
00:12:15 --> 00:12:21
			favors and an overwhelming you
with His grace and His love and it
		
00:12:21 --> 00:12:26
			gives you a gives and gives and
gives a normal heart that's not
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			diseased, would feel gratitude and
love for this person.
		
00:12:32 --> 00:12:37
			So if we reflect on Allah subhanaw
taala as favors upon us.
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			We have to love him.
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:45
			And thirdly, as we said, we should
love Allah subhanaw taala because
		
00:12:45 --> 00:12:49
			that's a sign and a condition of
belief of Eman.
		
00:12:51 --> 00:12:57
			So to love Allah subhanaw taala
you have to know him as he has
		
00:12:57 --> 00:13:02
			revealed about himself. Allah
subhanaw taala did not need us to
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:05
			reveal anything about him. He
could have just said Believe in
		
00:13:05 --> 00:13:10
			me, but he's told us so much about
him so that we know him and
		
00:13:10 --> 00:13:12
			therefore we love him.
		
00:13:13 --> 00:13:14
			Similarly
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:20
			some of us especially this is the
month of February or well we've
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:23
			just had the 12th of February I
will the Molad and so on so forth.
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:26
			Many of us claim to love rasool
Allah
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:30
			and we must love Rasul Allah
survives.
		
00:13:33 --> 00:13:35
			To really love him, you have to
know him.
		
00:13:37 --> 00:13:40
			You have to know His character. If
you know His character, you will
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:43
			love him. You have to know his
family. You have to if you love
		
00:13:43 --> 00:13:47
			you want to know what he looked
like he's Shamaya you want to know
		
00:13:47 --> 00:13:52
			what he said? You know, just like
the lovers always looking for that
		
00:13:53 --> 00:13:57
			word from from the beloved. You
have to know his sunnah and love
		
00:13:57 --> 00:14:02
			his sunnah you have to study his
see to every detail of his life.
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:08
			In today's world, we know every
detail about every corrupt being
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:13
			that we have. And some of us take
as role models, whether they are
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:17
			in the show business, whether they
are in the sports arena, whether
		
00:14:17 --> 00:14:21
			they are in political leadership,
we know everything about what we
		
00:14:21 --> 00:14:24
			don't know about is Rasul Allah.
So
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:31
			what we don't know about it is his
family. What we don't know is how
		
00:14:31 --> 00:14:31
			he lived
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:39
			Why should you love the Quran?
		
00:14:42 --> 00:14:46
			There is a story that's famous
that most of you know it's a story
		
00:14:46 --> 00:14:47
			of Leila
		
00:14:49 --> 00:14:50
			and ice.
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:58
			Ice was called Maji noon. A title
of lockup of Majnoon means crazy
		
00:14:58 --> 00:14:59
			crazy in love.
		
00:15:01 --> 00:15:02
			So it's known
		
00:15:03 --> 00:15:07
			that Maji noon, and they couldn't
meet.
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			And he had this intense love for
for Leila. So sometimes used to go
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:18
			and used to kiss the walls of his
of her house.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:26
			And in some narrations, one day
they saw a dog passing by Majnoon,
		
00:15:26 --> 00:15:30
			and he grabbed the dog and kiss
the feet of the dog. And people
		
00:15:30 --> 00:15:35
			said, This guy is real Majnoon. He
said, What do you know of love? Do
		
00:15:35 --> 00:15:39
			you know this dog passed through
the street of labor?
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:46
			So anything that's associated with
the beloved, you love, not for
		
00:15:46 --> 00:15:49
			what that is, but what it
represents.
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:58
			The Quran represents a loss of
penalty. It's an attribute it's
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:01
			the words of Allah subhanaw taala.
It's not the creation of Allah.
		
00:16:03 --> 00:16:09
			So how can you not love the Quran?
Allah spoke with these words to
		
00:16:09 --> 00:16:10
			you and me.
		
00:16:12 --> 00:16:15
			If you love Allah, you have to
love the Quran.
		
00:16:17 --> 00:16:22
			It is all over him, it is buying
him, it is from him.
		
00:16:25 --> 00:16:29
			So if we claim love for Allah, you
have to have love for the Quran.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:34
			And as I said, every claim
requires a proof
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:38
			because there are many who make
claims.
		
00:16:40 --> 00:16:48
			What is your proof? What is my
proof of the claim of love of
		
00:16:48 --> 00:16:55
			Allah subhanaw taala? What is your
and my proof of the love of the
		
00:16:55 --> 00:16:56
			kalam of Allah? subhanaw taala?
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:02
			Well, let's look at it.
		
00:17:05 --> 00:17:10
			And we have to ask ourselves
number one, as we said, you can't
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:11
			love who you do not know.
		
00:17:13 --> 00:17:16
			How much do we know the Quartet?
		
00:17:18 --> 00:17:24
			How well do we know the Quran? How
familiar are you with its message
		
00:17:24 --> 00:17:25
			and its details?
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:32
			Number two, if we love the Quran,
do we read the Quran?
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:39
			You know, when your lover writes
you a letter, you read it over and
		
00:17:39 --> 00:17:42
			over again every word and you
reflect on it?
		
00:17:43 --> 00:17:49
			How much do we read the Quran? How
often we read the Quran? How
		
00:17:49 --> 00:17:51
			regularly we read
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:58
			will tell us we're not judging
anyone else. What is my level of
		
00:17:58 --> 00:17:58
			love for the
		
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03
			number three, understanding the
Quran?
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:07
			How much have I studied that the
Pharisees
		
00:18:08 --> 00:18:12
			the explanations of the Quran to
get a true meaning of what Allah
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:15
			subhanaw taala intends. And what
does he want from me?
		
00:18:18 --> 00:18:21
			How much have we memorized the
Quran?
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:24
			How much and how well
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:32
			how much do we act upon the
commandments of the Quran? Both
		
00:18:32 --> 00:18:35
			its injunctions, and its
prohibitions?
		
00:18:37 --> 00:18:41
			Do we take it's halal as halal and
it's Haram is haram. This is a
		
00:18:41 --> 00:18:43
			sign of whether we love the Quran.
		
00:18:45 --> 00:18:46
			How much other
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:52
			reverence reverent manners we have
in the Quran.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:59
			That once evidence comes this is
what the Quran says, do all
		
00:18:59 --> 00:19:01
			disputes disappear for me?
		
00:19:03 --> 00:19:08
			Do I submit to the injunction the
Quran even though
		
00:19:09 --> 00:19:11
			I might not doesn't want
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:17
			and then there is the physical
respect for the muscle of the
		
00:19:17 --> 00:19:19
			court and how much how do I treat
the court?
		
00:19:21 --> 00:19:24
			How much you know when you love
someone you keep talking about how
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			much do you talk about the Quran
to others? How much do you
		
00:19:27 --> 00:19:32
			propagate the teachings of the
Quran? What we use the word dour?
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:40
			How much of you can summarize all
of this, how much of your life and
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:43
			my life have you and I dedicated
to the
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:52
			compared to what we have dedicated
our lives to.
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:58
			Have we even learned to read it
correctly? The very basic
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:03
			So take these points
		
00:20:04 --> 00:20:09
			and let us sincerely look within
ourselves, for what purpose
		
00:20:09 --> 00:20:14
			because this is going to give you
the diagnosis. It's going to give
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:18
			you a grade. What is my grade of
love for the
		
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27
			what happens to my heart when the
ayat are revealed?
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:34
			Allah subhanaw taala says when my
eye azza wa jal let Kulu boom, the
		
00:20:34 --> 00:20:38
			hearts of the true believers
tremble
		
00:20:39 --> 00:20:44
			when the iron sights are recited,
does it have an impact on me? I
		
00:20:44 --> 00:20:49
			just pass it on. I hear it like
music or this machete Russia
		
00:20:49 --> 00:20:53
			though sounds so beautiful. What
does it do to the heart?
		
00:20:54 --> 00:20:59
			What should it do to the heart or
last one the law tells us low and
		
00:21:00 --> 00:21:06
			the core. Now Hala Jabba lil Laura
Ito who Hashimoto Sunday Amin
		
00:21:06 --> 00:21:07
			Hachette in
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:14
			were we to reveal this Quran on a
mountain. Think of the massive
		
00:21:14 --> 00:21:16
			mountains the structure, the
strength.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:24
			Laura etha who Harsha Mazzaglia
minha Shatila you would see the
		
00:21:24 --> 00:21:29
			mountain out of all and reverence
of Allah subhanaw taala to crumble
		
00:21:32 --> 00:21:35
			Protest This is the words of my
romp.
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:43
			How sacred are these words do we
feel that emotion when we lift the
		
00:21:43 --> 00:21:47
			Quran when we carry the Quran when
we see the Quran even somewhere
		
00:21:48 --> 00:21:52
			unless one of the law says Keller
inherited Kyra
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:57

			no indeed these this is a reminder
an admonition so whoever wills
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:16
			that can pay attention. And Allah
subhanaw taala says remember these
		
00:22:16 --> 00:22:24
			are pages scrolls held in high
high esteem and great honor fee

			honorable and obedient. This is
who carries the Quran the angels.

			Allah smart Allah says in hula

00:22:51 --> 00:22:58
			Lai masu in London Mata Haroon
dunsey long Mirabella Alameen
		
00:22:59 --> 00:23:09
			indeed it is the Glorious Quran,
it is in a book that is kept safe
		
00:23:09 --> 00:23:16
			like a pearl. No one can touch it
except the purified revealed from
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:16
			Arambula
		
00:23:18 --> 00:23:20
			unless one of us telling us
		
00:23:21 --> 00:23:27
			what is the status of this so that
when we pick up the Quran, we feel
		
00:23:27 --> 00:23:28
			that
		
00:23:30 --> 00:23:35
			the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam
teaches us this is noted by Imam
		
00:23:35 --> 00:23:39
			Bharani and by her feet. He said
the meaning of this hadith or
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:43
			people of the Quran, do not take
the Quran as a pillow.
		
00:23:46 --> 00:23:51
			That is do not cast it aside
abandoning it recited properly,
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:56
			give it its proper do throughout
the day in the night, spread its
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:01
			message and ponder upon it so that
you may become successful. In
		
00:24:01 --> 00:24:06
			other words, oh I have the Quran
like a pillow means we are
		
00:24:06 --> 00:24:11
			Muslims. We have the book of Allah
and we are relaxing. We don't know
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:12
			what that contains you.
		
00:24:13 --> 00:24:21
			So first sign of love for the
Quran is external adab how we
		
00:24:21 --> 00:24:22
			treat the Quran
		
00:24:23 --> 00:24:27
			unfortunately today you see the
Quran treated like any other book.
		
00:24:27 --> 00:24:32
			You will see it sometimes even the
massage left on the floor. You see
		
00:24:32 --> 00:24:35
			a put away with other books on top
of it.
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:38
			You see it sometimes put upside
down
		
00:24:39 --> 00:24:43
			it's not a sign of respect and
honor.
		
00:24:45 --> 00:24:48
			Would you put on your clothes
upside down? No, this is the book
		
00:24:48 --> 00:24:49
			of Allah.
		
00:24:50 --> 00:24:56
			So other when the Quran before you
read it, they tell us and this is
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			the manners with the showing
honoring it because if you honor
		
00:24:59 --> 00:24:59
			the Quran or
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:03
			Last month I will honor you and
give you understanding
		
00:25:05 --> 00:25:08
			those words of Allah going to come
from your mouth so my mouth should
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:13
			be fresh and clean miswak
beautify, in a state of purity to
		
00:25:13 --> 00:25:21
			Hara wudu. sit facing the Qibla,
if at all possible, sit humbly in
		
00:25:21 --> 00:25:25
			a quiet place with grace and
humility, not music playing here
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:30
			on TV and people running here and
that this special resides it when
		
00:25:30 --> 00:25:34
			you recite the Quran as if you are
reciting it to Allah Subhana Allah
		
00:25:35 --> 00:25:38
			because he indeed hears you.
		
00:25:39 --> 00:25:45
			recited with an attentive heart
and deep devotion with the intent
		
00:25:45 --> 00:25:51
			to understand the true meaning of
it, to obey what I am reading to
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:58
			apply it in my life. pause and
reflect. Don't be fast and hasty
		
00:25:58 --> 00:26:02
			and reading it. When you come
across verses which talk about
		
00:26:03 --> 00:26:07
			Allah's promises and his right
mind is forgiveness monks Vera,
		
00:26:07 --> 00:26:10
			ask Allah's protection. So your
Allah
		
00:26:11 --> 00:26:15
			gives me protect me with your
rational with your forgiveness.
		
00:26:16 --> 00:26:21
			And feel the joy from his
promises, feel the longing and
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:26
			wanting what he has promised you
similarly when you come across
		
00:26:27 --> 00:26:33
			verses ideas that are of
punishment of warning of Jannah
		
00:26:33 --> 00:26:37
			seek Allah's protection. Yeah,
Allah, I seek protection in you
		
00:26:38 --> 00:26:43
			from this and feel fear for it.
When you feel fear, who do you run
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:45
			to? The one who controls it.
		
00:26:46 --> 00:26:51
			When you read the Iots of the
glory and majesty of Allah
		
00:26:51 --> 00:26:55
			subhanaw taala Subhana Allah feel
that
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:00
			don't talk and carry on
conversations while the Quran is
		
00:27:00 --> 00:27:01
			being recited.
		
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05
			Physically keep it elevated
		
00:27:06 --> 00:27:11
			on a standard or a pillow, and
seek Allah's protection from
		
00:27:11 --> 00:27:13
			shaitan from distracting you
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:19
			read it with the correct age, we
learn it and read it in a measured
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:25
			tone, not too fast. There is no
extra thing for reading when one
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:28
			word goes into other and you don't
know what is being said. If you're
		
00:27:28 --> 00:27:32
			reading alone, it is better to
read it loud enough beautify your
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:36
			voice, that you hear it clearly.
And if you're with people read it
		
00:27:36 --> 00:27:40
			softly for two reasons so you
don't disturb others. Number two,
		
00:27:40 --> 00:27:44
			so that if you're a good
researcher, there is no component
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:49
			of RIA of showing off. Look how
beautifully I can read the Quran.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54
			So it is better to recite it
silently when there are people who
		
00:27:57 --> 00:28:02
			have you yours and your heart
attentive and feel the sublimity
		
00:28:02 --> 00:28:06
			of this message, the majesty,
magnificence of Allah subhanaw
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:12
			taala. Be in all and feel the love
and reverence, be like a slave
		
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15
			who's anxiously looking for the
command
		
00:28:16 --> 00:28:21
			of the master, who is the most
generous of masters, who is the
		
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25
			kindest of masters with complete
humility and submission to the
		
00:28:25 --> 00:28:26
			words of the master.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:34
			One of the companions of the
Prophet sallallahu Sallam crema,
		
00:28:34 --> 00:28:39
			or the Allah Han, it is narrated,
that when he opened the the
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:44
			soul of the Quran, he fell
unconscious.
		
00:28:45 --> 00:28:50
			Then he came to he said, had the
kalam rugby had the kalam rugby,
		
00:28:50 --> 00:28:52
			he said the words of my Lord.
		
00:28:54 --> 00:28:58
			He was overwhelmed of what this
represents.
		
00:29:00 --> 00:29:04
			And when you are reading the
Quran, read with certainty with
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:05
			the clean
		
00:29:06 --> 00:29:10
			on the truthfulness, the
authenticity of the Quran. Remove
		
00:29:10 --> 00:29:13
			any doubts from your hearts. Also,
		
00:29:14 --> 00:29:17
			be focused, don't have
distractions.
		
00:29:18 --> 00:29:22
			Try and spend some time in
understanding and dwelling on the
		
00:29:22 --> 00:29:23
			Quran
		
00:29:26 --> 00:29:30
			for studying and reading the
Quran, Allah so because of what it
		
00:29:30 --> 00:29:33
			is Allah subhanaw taala has put a
lot of rewards for DINE WITH IT
		
00:29:34 --> 00:29:39
			of, of of promises of hair for
you. The Prophet salallahu Alaihe
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:46
			Salam said hi Rocco Munda alum Al
Quran Wa Allama best of you and
		
00:29:46 --> 00:29:49
			this is narrated by say the North
man when I found out the Allahu he
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:55
			said, The best of you have have
you believers is the one who
		
00:29:55 --> 00:29:59
			learns the Quran and teaches it.
So if you learn and teach
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:03
			Quran Allah subhanaw taala is
raising your status.
		
00:30:05 --> 00:30:09
			Allah subhanaw taala says in a
hadith of codici, he said, if
		
00:30:09 --> 00:30:13
			anybody finds no time for my
remembrance and asking of me in
		
00:30:13 --> 00:30:20
			Doha, on account of being busy and
occupied with the Quran, because
		
00:30:20 --> 00:30:25
			he was too busy reading the Quran,
he wasn't, you know, asking in da
		
00:30:25 --> 00:30:25
			didn't have time.
		
00:30:27 --> 00:30:32
			Allah subhanaw taala says, I will
give him more than what I give all
		
00:30:32 --> 00:30:33
			those who ask.
		
00:30:34 --> 00:30:36
			This is the status of the Quran.
		
00:30:38 --> 00:30:41
			The Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam once came to the US House so
		
00:30:41 --> 00:30:44
			far, these are the people who
didn't have homes who used to live
		
00:30:44 --> 00:30:47
			in the masjid, the little platform
behind the house of the Prophet
		
00:30:47 --> 00:30:51
			sallallaahu Salam, and they were
sitting there and he came to them.
		
00:30:51 --> 00:30:56
			So these were people who had who
owns nothing. Most of them just
		
00:30:56 --> 00:30:59
			had barely enough clothes to cover
the hour. They didn't have food,
		
00:30:59 --> 00:31:04
			then had no possessions. Now he
comes to them. And he says, Would
		
00:31:04 --> 00:31:09
			any of you like to go to these
markets or markets, well known of
		
00:31:09 --> 00:31:15
			Bhutan and a cake and come back
with two sheep camels of the
		
00:31:15 --> 00:31:20
			highest breed without severing any
connections with the family
		
00:31:20 --> 00:31:22
			without committing any sin. In
other words, you didn't steal it.
		
00:31:22 --> 00:31:28
			You don't do anything like that.
This era Sula. Every one of us
		
00:31:28 --> 00:31:31
			would want to do that because
those camels of that caliber would
		
00:31:32 --> 00:31:36
			today be like, you know, the
Bugatti is and the Rolls Royces
		
00:31:36 --> 00:31:37
			and so on so forth.
		
00:31:38 --> 00:31:44
			He said sallallahu alayhi, salam,
learning to ayat of the Quran are
		
00:31:44 --> 00:31:49
			better than those two camels. In
other words, the reward of what
		
00:31:49 --> 00:31:53
			you have is better than Allah and
three, I add more than three of
		
00:31:53 --> 00:31:53
			those.
		
00:31:56 --> 00:31:59
			We just talked about Allah
subhanaw taala talking about
		
00:32:02 --> 00:32:06
			the ad Sephora Kira min Bharara
angels that are noble.
		
00:32:09 --> 00:32:14
			who carry the Quran. The Prophet
sallallahu alayhi salam said that
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:19
			the one who is well versed in the
Quran will be with those angels.
		
00:32:20 --> 00:32:25
			Carmen Bharara and then he said,
one who falters in reading the
		
00:32:25 --> 00:32:30
			Quran, he has difficulty for him,
there is double reward.
		
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35
			So there is no excuse why don't
know how to read well, because now
		
00:32:35 --> 00:32:39
			a person is struggling to learn to
do better. He gets the reward of
		
00:32:39 --> 00:32:43
			reading the Quran, and the reward
of struggling to read. This is the
		
00:32:43 --> 00:32:47
			generosity of Allah to encourage
us so that no matter how difficult
		
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49
			we have difficulty we have
		
00:32:51 --> 00:32:55
			we learn to read the Quran. The
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:32:55 --> 00:33:00
			said that has said or envy is not
permitted in anything, it's a sin,
		
00:33:00 --> 00:33:05
			except in two situations. One, if
you feel that envy, and this is
		
00:33:05 --> 00:33:08
			not the kind of envy where you
want the other person to lose it.
		
00:33:09 --> 00:33:13
			But if you see someone reciting
the Quran beautifully and someone
		
00:33:13 --> 00:33:17
			who's very, very generous, you
feel envious in the sense that you
		
00:33:17 --> 00:33:18
			said Yeah, Allah, I want to be
light
		
00:33:20 --> 00:33:24
			that is permitted. So that's the
status. And
		
00:33:25 --> 00:33:30
			the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
salam teaches us that Allah exalts
		
00:33:31 --> 00:33:37
			many by this book in disgraces,
many by this and this is also in
		
00:33:37 --> 00:33:41
			the Quran, similar meaning ALLAH
Sachs Montana's yeah de Vega theta
		
00:33:41 --> 00:33:42
			are you deliver vehicles
		
00:33:43 --> 00:33:47
			that Allah can guide and misguide
through this plan, depending on
		
00:33:47 --> 00:33:50
			what you bring to the table, what
kind of heart you are bringing?
		
00:33:51 --> 00:33:56
			And this Quran will intercede for
you on the Day of Judgment with
		
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00
			Allah subhanaw taala. In one
narration, it is said that Allah
		
00:34:00 --> 00:34:03
			subhanaw taala will say to the the
guardian of the Quran, he said
		
00:34:03 --> 00:34:08
			keep reciting the Quran, and keep
ascending in levels of Jannah. And
		
00:34:08 --> 00:34:12
			your journey your paradise will be
where you finish your final iron.
		
00:34:13 --> 00:34:18
			So if you recite the whole Quran,
in memory, that's the level you're
		
00:34:18 --> 00:34:20
			going to reach and so on so forth.
		
00:34:22 --> 00:34:25
			For each letter of the Quran, the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
		
00:34:25 --> 00:34:29
			teaches us for each letter that we
read, Allah subhanaw taala gives
		
00:34:29 --> 00:34:32
			us 10 has enough Gender Wars and
he says
		
00:34:34 --> 00:34:40
			and if lamb meme is not one, Elif
is one lamb is one meme is one. So
		
00:34:40 --> 00:34:43
			these are and there are many of
the rewards of the adoption of the
		
00:34:43 --> 00:34:46
			Quran. You can there are books
written on it and you know, we
		
00:34:46 --> 00:34:49
			don't have time I just wanted to
give you a sampling. Now we come
		
00:34:49 --> 00:34:54
			to the second part which is living
and acting upon the Quran, living
		
00:34:54 --> 00:34:57
			the Quran. How do we live the
		
00:34:59 --> 00:34:59
			wonder of
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:06
			In the tabby on the second
generation of the after the
		
00:35:06 --> 00:35:10
			Prophet salallahu Salam by the
name of Qatada. He came to our
		
00:35:10 --> 00:35:11
			mother
		
00:35:12 --> 00:35:18
			Omona say the eyeshadow the hola
Juan because she lived to the age
		
00:35:18 --> 00:35:22
			of 94, almost 72 years after the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam.
		
00:35:22 --> 00:35:26
			So, the next generation used to
come to her to learn.
		
00:35:27 --> 00:35:28
			So Qatada says,
		
00:35:30 --> 00:35:33
			Cool two year old me Nina Aisha
		
00:35:34 --> 00:35:40
			and Brittany and hula Cara Sunil
lies. He said that I said to her,
		
00:35:41 --> 00:35:48
			or our Mother, tell us about the
character of the messenger for
		
00:35:48 --> 00:35:49
			Lasala lioness.
		
00:35:50 --> 00:35:52
			So what's her response or let
		
00:35:54 --> 00:35:59
			alone start dakara Al Quran? She
said to him in her responses. Have
		
00:35:59 --> 00:36:03
			you not read the Quran? Do you not
read the Quran?
		
00:36:04 --> 00:36:06
			He said, pull to Bella. Yes I do.
		
00:36:07 --> 00:36:13
			So called she said for in Hulagu
Nabi is NaVi allah sallallahu
		
00:36:13 --> 00:36:16
			alayhi wa salam canel cor en
		
00:36:18 --> 00:36:21
			he says, You're asked about the
character of Rasul Allah of the
		
00:36:21 --> 00:36:25
			Messenger of Allah, His character
was the Quran.
		
00:36:28 --> 00:36:28
			What does that mean?
		
00:36:30 --> 00:36:35
			That what the Quran taught, had
become part of his character of
		
00:36:35 --> 00:36:39
			his practice. This is living the
Quran.
		
00:36:43 --> 00:36:47
			As we said before, it's narrated
by Muslim that also la salaallah
		
00:36:47 --> 00:36:52
			alayhi salam said that the Quran
is evidence for you or against
		
00:36:52 --> 00:36:52
			you.
		
00:36:54 --> 00:37:00
			It will either be evidence in your
favor, if you make it a means of
		
00:37:00 --> 00:37:05
			drawing nearer to Allah subhanaw
taala. And you fulfill the duties
		
00:37:05 --> 00:37:08
			that are prescribed by this Great
Quran.
		
00:37:09 --> 00:37:15
			Namely, believe in everything that
it teaches you about believing it
		
00:37:15 --> 00:37:19
			stories believe in the afterlife
that it's describing, you comply.
		
00:37:21 --> 00:37:22
			Submit
		
00:37:24 --> 00:37:29
			to its commandments, you heed, and
you stay away from its
		
00:37:29 --> 00:37:34
			prohibitions, and you venerate and
respect the Quran. If you do that,
		
00:37:35 --> 00:37:39
			it will be evidence in front of
Allah subhanaw taala for you in
		
00:37:39 --> 00:37:40
			your favor,
		
00:37:41 --> 00:37:46
			as your intercessor or the
opposite. If you distress
		
00:37:46 --> 00:37:52
			disrespect the Quran, you neglect
it is its words, its admonitions,
		
00:37:52 --> 00:37:56
			its meaning and fail to act
according to what it wants you
		
00:37:56 --> 00:38:01
			What did you are ordered in it,
and you do not do what did enjoins
		
00:38:02 --> 00:38:05
			then it will be a witness against
you on the Day of Judgment.
		
00:38:08 --> 00:38:11
			And one word of caution, because
we talked about reflecting on the
		
00:38:11 --> 00:38:12
			Quran and pondering,
		
00:38:14 --> 00:38:19
			want to caution you that it is
forbidden to derive your own
		
00:38:19 --> 00:38:21
			interpretations and rulings from
the
		
00:38:22 --> 00:38:26
			so I read this, I think this is
what it means. And this is how I'm
		
00:38:26 --> 00:38:27
			going to live my life.
		
00:38:29 --> 00:38:33
			You don't have the background, you
don't have the scholarship, you
		
00:38:33 --> 00:38:36
			don't have the language you don't
have the linguistics. You don't
		
00:38:36 --> 00:38:44
			have the the flip your caller who
can derive rulings. Okay. This
		
00:38:44 --> 00:38:49
			also applies for the Hadith of the
Prophet sallallahu, this even
		
00:38:50 --> 00:38:53
			authentic hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu. So I read this hadith,
		
00:38:54 --> 00:38:58
			I'm going to act on it because
this is very clear to me. Because
		
00:38:58 --> 00:39:03
			all of that has to be taken
together with all the relevant IRS
		
00:39:03 --> 00:39:09
			and and look at the implications.
So what do we do? We look instead
		
00:39:09 --> 00:39:13
			because we don't have no one on
this earth today has that level of
		
00:39:13 --> 00:39:20
			scholarship. So we look for this
authentic proof of how these Iots
		
00:39:20 --> 00:39:24
			and these Hadith were acted upon
by the self by the early
		
00:39:24 --> 00:39:28
			generation which is the Sahaba the
diver own and the Tabata on the
		
00:39:28 --> 00:39:35
			next generation and the grid ima
the great scholarly jurists Mr.
		
00:39:35 --> 00:39:35
			Head,
		
00:39:37 --> 00:39:41
			scholars of understanding and
practice and the subject of
		
00:39:42 --> 00:39:48
			like Imam Abu Hanifa Imam Malik
Imam Shafi Imam Muhammad bin
		
00:39:48 --> 00:39:54
			humble Imam Jaffa been sad and
people of that caliber. They had
		
00:39:54 --> 00:39:56
			access to what you have access to
		
00:39:58 --> 00:39:59
			how they acted
		
00:40:00 --> 00:40:03
			on it, and you have proof, this is
what they did. This is what this
		
00:40:03 --> 00:40:08
			is that's following and living the
Quran, not by your own
		
00:40:08 --> 00:40:09
			interpretation.
		
00:40:11 --> 00:40:14
			So, if you find something and you
say they did not act upon it,
		
00:40:16 --> 00:40:18
			there is no proof that they did
this, you leave it.
		
00:40:19 --> 00:40:24
			Whereas you find something, yes,
they acted on this, then, and this
		
00:40:24 --> 00:40:27
			is how they acted on it, then you
embrace it, and you apply it in
		
00:40:27 --> 00:40:28
			your lives and you live by it.
		
00:40:31 --> 00:40:35
			So, when you reflect on the Quran,
especially for deriving rule,
		
00:40:35 --> 00:40:41
			rulings in halal and haram and all
of those things, understand it, as
		
00:40:41 --> 00:40:45
			it was understood in meaning and
context by the earlier generation,
		
00:40:45 --> 00:40:49
			the earliest generations, then
tell yourself this is what Allah
		
00:40:49 --> 00:40:51
			subhanaw taala wants from me,
		
00:40:53 --> 00:40:57
			then examined carefully, how
closely you are fulfilling it? If
		
00:40:57 --> 00:41:01
			you are not, then What steps are
you going to do take to fulfill
		
00:41:01 --> 00:41:06
			that? And do this for every idea,
every commandment every
		
00:41:06 --> 00:41:11
			permission? Where do I stand in
this? If I was called by Allah
		
00:41:11 --> 00:41:16
			subhanaw taala. Tomorrow, what
would be the proof of my obedience
		
00:41:16 --> 00:41:20
			to this? That's why it is narrated
the some of the Sahaba companions
		
00:41:20 --> 00:41:26
			of the Prophet salallahu Salam
took eight years to read Surah Al
		
00:41:26 --> 00:41:29
			Baqarah, which you can read in
about an hour fluently.
		
00:41:30 --> 00:41:35
			Eight years. So someone asked, why
did it take you eight years he
		
00:41:35 --> 00:41:40
			said, Because I would take one
higher, reflect on it, understand
		
00:41:40 --> 00:41:45
			it, see what Allah demands from
me, and then act on it. Until I
		
00:41:45 --> 00:41:50
			started to act on it consistently.
In my life, it became part of my
		
00:41:50 --> 00:41:54
			character, I did not go to the
next time. But what's the sense of
		
00:41:54 --> 00:41:57
			accumulating knowledge and not
acting upon it.
		
00:41:58 --> 00:42:01
			So be sincere in your obedience.
		
00:42:02 --> 00:42:07
			Be sincere when we read the Quran,
I want to obey, I want to submit
		
00:42:08 --> 00:42:12
			to the kalam of my lab, as
Rasulullah sallallahu is in
		
00:42:12 --> 00:42:17
			progress. So gather up and focus
all your hemma all your spiritual
		
00:42:17 --> 00:42:22
			energies, your strength, your
dedication, with the desire of
		
00:42:22 --> 00:42:25
			obedience, desire of submission to
follow.
		
00:42:27 --> 00:42:32
			To do your best with that, ask
people of scholarship. Am I doing
		
00:42:32 --> 00:42:36
			the right thing? Look at the right
sources. Look at multiple sources.
		
00:42:36 --> 00:42:38
			So you're not misled because
today, everybody claims
		
00:42:38 --> 00:42:41
			scholarship, everybody gives
opinion and they're leading a lot
		
00:42:41 --> 00:42:42
			of people astray.
		
00:42:43 --> 00:42:46
			And as always, this is the effort
that you make.
		
00:42:48 --> 00:42:53
			The results are by Allah. So what
should you do? Summon Allah's
		
00:42:53 --> 00:42:59
			help, frequently, in sincere Gah,
cry before Allah Subhan Allah Ya
		
00:42:59 --> 00:43:03
			Allah, open your Quran to me,
		
00:43:05 --> 00:43:07
			open my heart to its
understanding,
		
00:43:08 --> 00:43:15
			make my heart submit lovingly,
willingly, completely to every
		
00:43:15 --> 00:43:16
			word of the Quran.
		
00:43:17 --> 00:43:22
			And helped me to show this love
and to show the submission and
		
00:43:22 --> 00:43:27
			disobedience by my actions. Let
every word that comes out of my
		
00:43:27 --> 00:43:31
			mouth be something that would
comply with the commandments of
		
00:43:31 --> 00:43:37
			Allah subhanaw taala as the Quran
command, the volume of my voice,
		
00:43:37 --> 00:43:40
			the tone of my voice, the words
themselves.
		
00:43:42 --> 00:43:45
			Take examples, a lot of Swatara
says Don't raise your voice above
		
00:43:45 --> 00:43:49
			that of the Prophet. Some of the
ladies last month Allah says don't
		
00:43:49 --> 00:43:53
			backbite Allah Samantha says don't
use harsh words.
		
00:43:56 --> 00:43:59
			Last one that tells us how to look
pizzas lower your gaze don't look
		
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00
			at what you shouldn't
		
00:44:02 --> 00:44:05
			allow Swatara tells us not to hear
certain things.
		
00:44:09 --> 00:44:12
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us
where we should go and where we
		
00:44:12 --> 00:44:13
			should not go.
		
00:44:14 --> 00:44:17
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us what
we can eat and what we cannot eat,
		
00:44:17 --> 00:44:22
			what we drink what we do not
drink. The last one tells us about
		
00:44:22 --> 00:44:26
			all of our needs, how they are to
be fulfilled according to the
		
00:44:26 --> 00:44:31
			Sharia, according to the Quran,
whether it's a marriage, whether
		
00:44:31 --> 00:44:35
			it's a business, whether it's
raising a child, whether it's
		
00:44:35 --> 00:44:38
			taking care of your elderly
parents, it's all there.
		
00:44:40 --> 00:44:46
			It's all there in spirit and
teaching and the explanation of
		
00:44:46 --> 00:44:46
			that
		
00:44:48 --> 00:44:54
			is the Sonora pseudo supplies.
Well last one anthologist test.
		
00:44:54 --> 00:44:59
			Now we look at Iots more than 110
We're upcoming Salah establish
		
00:44:59 --> 00:44:59
			Salah now
		
00:45:00 --> 00:45:00
			I need to look
		
00:45:02 --> 00:45:06
			this Salah established in my life,
is it? Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:45:06 --> 00:45:11
			doesn't tell us so how do we pray,
how many times we pray, how many
		
00:45:11 --> 00:45:15
			records we pray, how each action
this is the sun novel Surah it's
		
00:45:15 --> 00:45:19
			an extension of the Quran because
he's walking for me is
		
00:45:19 --> 00:45:20
			characterised.
		
00:45:23 --> 00:45:27
			Allah smart Allah orders us we are
going over the fried basil cat.
		
00:45:29 --> 00:45:32
			He doesn't give us details he just
tells us these are eight
		
00:45:32 --> 00:45:36
			categories. How much is to be
given from your wealth
		
00:45:37 --> 00:45:41
			from your savings, what is
excluded, how much is to be given
		
00:45:41 --> 00:45:44
			if you have cattle how much is to
be given if you have great so and
		
00:45:44 --> 00:45:49
			so forth? That it has to be given
every year on an animal all of
		
00:45:49 --> 00:45:50
			that comes from the Sunnah
		
00:45:52 --> 00:45:57
			Allah subhanaw taala says when the
month of Ramadan comes fast, if
		
00:45:57 --> 00:45:58
			you witnessed the month
		
00:45:59 --> 00:46:00
			fast
		
00:46:02 --> 00:46:03
			the details of that
		
00:46:05 --> 00:46:08
			come from a pseudo Hajj
		
00:46:11 --> 00:46:13
			Allah subhanaw taala says a
chateau Maluma
		
00:46:15 --> 00:46:17
			months the days
		
00:46:19 --> 00:46:24
			the days are known. What are those
days? What are the rites of Hajj
		
00:46:25 --> 00:46:29
			you go through crossover Lhasa
lives. Similarly in every aspect,
		
00:46:29 --> 00:46:32
			you know, if you start deriving
you let's look at some of the
		
00:46:32 --> 00:46:35
			prohibitions. You read the AI are
you reading Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:46:35 --> 00:46:41
			says that in this in this grammar,
there is harm and there is nothing
		
00:46:41 --> 00:46:44
			there is benefit. So that's good.
		
00:46:46 --> 00:46:48
			Can you interpret that on your own
what that means?
		
00:46:49 --> 00:46:51
			You have to take all the iPads
		
00:46:53 --> 00:46:57
			and then you interpret that okay?
What is meant by camera is not
		
00:46:57 --> 00:47:02
			alcohol itself. It's in toxic and
therefore I just have one glass of
		
00:47:02 --> 00:47:07
			wine. That's good for me and it
doesn't intoxicated. That's where
		
00:47:07 --> 00:47:10
			the Sunnah of Rasulullah
sallallaahu Salam comes in that if
		
00:47:10 --> 00:47:13
			it takes a bucket to intoxicate
one drop of that is also
		
00:47:13 --> 00:47:19
			forbidden. Okay. Understanding the
Quran through the Sunnah of
		
00:47:19 --> 00:47:23
			Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam, and following in his
		
00:47:23 --> 00:47:24
			footsteps.
		
00:47:25 --> 00:47:29
			Like Allah subhanaw taala says,
Call in can turn to head bone or
		
00:47:29 --> 00:47:37
			longer foot their own knee if you
tell them if you love me, and
		
00:47:37 --> 00:47:39
			which by extension if you love my
Quran,
		
00:47:40 --> 00:47:44
			then follow me follow me means
Rasul Allah.
		
00:47:45 --> 00:47:47
			And if you do that, what do you
get in return?
		
00:47:49 --> 00:47:52
			Allah will love you. If Allah
loves you, that's the end of
		
00:47:52 --> 00:47:55
			every, nothing more you need.
		
00:47:56 --> 00:48:02
			Okay, so this is loving and living
the Quran.
		
00:48:03 --> 00:48:06
			It all starts by knowing,
		
00:48:07 --> 00:48:11
			knowing Allah, knowing His
Messenger, knowing what is the
		
00:48:11 --> 00:48:16
			message that he has sent. There
are Muslims who live and die at
		
00:48:16 --> 00:48:21
			100 who don't know the message
that on my sent for them to save
		
00:48:21 --> 00:48:23
			them in the dunya now
		
00:48:24 --> 00:48:27
			and unfortunately that's the
majority.
		
00:48:28 --> 00:48:31
			Then we wonder why we are in such
a state that we are.
		
00:48:34 --> 00:48:39
			So it all starts with our hub for
Allah subhanaw taala are hubs for
		
00:48:39 --> 00:48:45
			his color, the Quran, hub for
Sula, Allah salAllahu Salam, our
		
00:48:45 --> 00:48:50
			hope for his island bait, our hook
for his companions, our home for
		
00:48:50 --> 00:48:56
			the Olia of Allah, the hub love
for the righteous people, the
		
00:48:56 --> 00:48:57
			Xylocaine
		
00:48:58 --> 00:49:03
			love for each other because we are
Muslims. All of that. Because we
		
00:49:03 --> 00:49:06
			love our lesson. We love who Allah
Allah has
		
00:49:12 --> 00:49:16
			no Allah, no his message. No Rasul
Allah cellulitis.
		
00:49:18 --> 00:49:21
			If you truly do that, sincerely,
it will come.
		
00:49:25 --> 00:49:27
			You will not be pushed to obey.
		
00:49:28 --> 00:49:29
			You would want to obey
		
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34
			and you feel terrible, if you
disagree
		
00:49:36 --> 00:49:40
			and even that there is rewards
because the last one to love the
		
00:49:40 --> 00:49:46
			person crying out of another or to
regret for not having done what
		
00:49:46 --> 00:49:47
			Allah loves more.
		
00:49:49 --> 00:49:53
			So my last one I love makers among
the island Quran. Were last one to
		
00:49:53 --> 00:49:59
			Allah help us to understand the
Quran in its true context and to
		
00:49:59 --> 00:50:00
			apply the code
		
00:50:00 --> 00:50:04
			And in our lives. We are not here
to teach people let's not focus on
		
00:50:04 --> 00:50:10
			teaching people. Let's focus on
applying. We are sharing this, to
		
00:50:10 --> 00:50:15
			remind each other, the first
reminders for myself, that we need
		
00:50:15 --> 00:50:16
			to dedicate more time to.
		
00:50:19 --> 00:50:24
			And we need to examine ourselves,
not others, whether they're acting
		
00:50:24 --> 00:50:25
			according to the Quran or not.
		
00:50:27 --> 00:50:30
			So ask Allah subhanaw taala to
open all of our hearts to the
		
00:50:30 --> 00:50:36
			Quran, and to help us to follow in
every step of Rasulullah
		
00:50:36 --> 00:50:40
			sallallahu alayhi salam walking
behind him, wherever his
		
00:50:40 --> 00:50:41
			footprints are,
		
00:50:42 --> 00:50:44
			that level of Aktiva
		
00:50:45 --> 00:50:51
			and that we lead the rest of our
lives doing that and we die Allah
		
00:50:51 --> 00:50:56
			subhanaw taala takes our soul when
molecule mouths come in the HTML
		
00:50:56 --> 00:51:01
			for surah Allah said and I'm
homeless Allah lives. Me. Charla
		
00:51:01 --> 00:51:06
			we'll open it up for any questions
and comments for the next 15
		
00:51:06 --> 00:51:08
			minutes or so. 20 minutes
