We praise and we glorify Allah subhanaw taala as is deserving His

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

divine glory and majesty

00:00:47 --> 00:00:52

and we send peace and blessings on his Noble Messenger The Best of

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

creation, our beloved rasool Allah, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi

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

wa sallam,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:05

his noble family, his descendants and his companions, we ask Allah

00:01:05 --> 00:01:09

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

men share a dakara fee superfun Makara

00:21:58 --> 00:22:03

Marfa teammoto Hara ad Sephora Kira min Bharara

00:22:05 --> 00:22:12

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

00:22:24 --> 00:22:31

super fame Mikado Rama elevated Marfa elevated Mata Hara purified

00:22:32 --> 00:22:38

the ad sufferer in the hands of noble scribes kahraman Bharara

00:22:39 --> 00:22:44

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

00:22:45 --> 00:22:51

Allah smart Allah says in hula Quran Kareem fie Kitab in Maknoon

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
