00:00:06 --> 00:00:12
			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu
salam ala Rasulillah ala alihi wa
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13
			sahbihi woman wala
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:19
			alarm after my Samiha alumina
Lydic Crick
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			wala open the hearing channels of
our hearts to your remembrance
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:32
			Allama JAL nominal Medina
Yestermorrow, Nicola Wetherby
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			Asana
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36
			who Allah make us among those
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:42
			who listen to the admonition of
what is being said,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:48
			and help us to follow the best of
that advice.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:53
			We ask Allah subhanaw taala to
accept this gathering of ours
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59
			to have weighed on our scales on
the day of judgment.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:06
			And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to
make us sincere in seeking Him. I
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			mean,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			so how has the winter break been
for all of you?
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:14
			Good.
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			So we took a vacation.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:24
			But there is one thing that you
can never take a vacation from,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31
			which is in the OBU, the slave
hood or
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35
			being an obedient servant of Allah
subhanaw taala there is no
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:40
			vacation from that. So whenever we
take our vacations we should
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:45
			remember that, that even our
vacation should be one with
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			obedience of Allah Subhan.
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51
			Allah is obedience is not just for
Germans or for Ramadan, or in the
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53
			masjid or at the time of Salah.
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:56
			It's for all times.
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			Allah subhanaw taala tells us
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:09
			for that care for in vichara,
meaning and remind the believers,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:15
			remind the believers is telling us
the believers can also forget,
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20
			remind them because a reminder is
beneficial for them.
		
00:02:21 --> 00:02:24
			So I take this opportunity,
because we've had a long break.
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:30
			First to remind myself, because I
need more than anyone else. And
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			then to remind my dear brothers
and sisters.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:40
			How about why we gather for these
gatherings? What is the purpose of
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:41
			this?
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:48
			Why are we gathering to study the
Quran? Why are we learning?
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:55
			First thing I remind myself and
remind all of you is we are
		
00:02:55 --> 00:03:02
			learning to practice, to put
everything we learn into practice,
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08
			to internalize the information
that's given to us, to actualize
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:13
			it in our lives, to lead our lives
according to those teachings. And
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:17
			to develop those luck, those
internal characteristics that
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:22
			Allah demands from us that Allah
loves from us. We don't gather
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			here
		
00:03:24 --> 00:03:28
			with the primary goal of gathering
information all I know this, and I
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:32
			know that we are not here as
information gatherers. And we are
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:35
			not here to learn to share and
teach others.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:41
			I need to first teach myself Oh
Allah, He, I'm not coming here to
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:45
			teach you. I'm coming here to
learn whatever I study, whatever I
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			share with you, as Allah makes
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:54
			me able to, I am the most needy,
to put that into my practice and I
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:59
			have to and you have to constantly
remind yourself of that. We are
		
00:03:59 --> 00:04:03
			not learning to look, learn it.
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:08
			We are not learning for the sake
of learning. We are not learning
		
00:04:08 --> 00:04:14
			to be scholarly. We are not
learning to debate with people in
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:19
			social gatherings. We are not
learning for titles. We are not
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			learning for recognition.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			The only one
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:29
			who should recognize us is Allah
subhanaw taala if everyone gives
		
00:04:29 --> 00:04:33
			us all kinds of accolades, and
degrees and PhDs and Adlam and so
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:39
			on, so, and Allah subhanaw taala
in his skin finds us at zero, all
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:44
			of that is null and void. So this
is very, very important that
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:45
			that's what we are here for.
		
00:04:46 --> 00:04:51
			Because the danger of learning,
and we see it all the time. The
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:54
			more learner the person becomes if
they're not keeping this within
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			this envelope of why I'm doing it.
It gives them arrogance
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:06
			One of the most learned was a
bliss. He knew Allah. When he did,
		
00:05:06 --> 00:05:12
			he ended up that learning made him
arrogant that I know I am better.
		
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16
			And sometimes we may learn
something here and you're talking
		
00:05:16 --> 00:05:20
			to someone and they don't know.
Never let that thought come into
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:24
			your mind that oh, this person
doesn't know and I know
		
00:05:26 --> 00:05:28
			okay, never let that become
		
00:05:30 --> 00:05:35
			a means of arrogance, because it
is only a delusion. There is
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:41
			always someone who knows more. And
sometimes people learn to show
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45
			ostentation. And the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam taught us in a
		
00:05:45 --> 00:05:51
			hadith that anyone who learns to
show people to have a rank and to
		
00:05:51 --> 00:05:54
			argue with people to show their
knowledge will be in Jahannam
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:57
			something to that effect, so, we
should keep that in mind.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:04
			So, sometimes, as we are learning
we get into the details, we forget
		
00:06:04 --> 00:06:07
			the balance between information
and action.
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:15
			That we have to act the balance
and that what we learn, we have to
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:20
			look within ourselves, Am I
benefiting from this knowledge and
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:25
			the benefit of this knowledge is
that knowledge should take you
		
00:06:25 --> 00:06:26
			closer to Allah Swalot.
		
00:06:28 --> 00:06:31
			The Prophet sallallahu Sallam used
to make the DUA he used to say
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:33
			Allahumma
		
00:06:36 --> 00:06:41
			lemania Celica Elman naffaa, or
Allah I asked you for beneficial
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:46
			knowledge. What is beneficial one
that takes you closer to Allah
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:50
			Sanata knowledge that increases
your love for Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:06:51 --> 00:06:54
			knowledge that increases your fear
and awareness and reverence of
		
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58
			Allah subhanaw taala knowledge
that makes you more obedient.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:04
			Knowledge that makes you more law
abiding citizen on the earth of
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:07
			Allah, abiding by the laws of
Allah.
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:15
			That is what we are striving for.
And with the practice of that
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:20
			knowledge, there is a dub manners,
how we treat that knowledge, how
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:23
			we treat each other, how we treat
our teachers, how we treat our
		
00:07:24 --> 00:07:27
			youngsters, how we treat our
elders, it's all part of that
		
00:07:27 --> 00:07:31
			knowledge, how we treat those
sources of knowledge, the ultimate
		
00:07:31 --> 00:07:37
			one of which is the words of
Allah. What when we even say the
		
00:07:37 --> 00:07:42
			word or N? Does it do anything in
my heart is just a word, it's a
		
00:07:42 --> 00:07:43
			name.
		
00:07:44 --> 00:07:49
			When I take the name, Allah, does
it, make something quiver in my
		
00:07:49 --> 00:07:55
			heart makes me Allah is watching,
he is my Creator. So we have to
		
00:07:55 --> 00:08:01
			always remember that there is a
certain adab and that knowledge
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:06
			was sent to us to develop a
beautiful internal characteristic
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:11
			external o'clock, that is what we
are here for. To show that our
		
00:08:11 --> 00:08:17
			insides are beautiful. We always
focus on our outsides, we look in
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:21
			the mirror, we want to look good,
which is all fine. But more
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:22
			beautiful than that
		
00:08:23 --> 00:08:27
			is internal beauty. There are many
beautiful people in the world,
		
00:08:27 --> 00:08:31
			Allah made them on the outside,
but totally corrupt and bankrupt
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:35
			on the inside. Where that's where
the effort has to be made by us.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:43
			So, our goal must always be that I
need to reform that I need to
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:48
			rectify myself that I need to
improve. If I'm attending Holika
		
00:08:48 --> 00:08:52
			after halacha after halacha there
is no change in nobody sees a
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:55
			change a positive change, then
there is something missing I'm
		
00:08:55 --> 00:09:00
			missing the boat. I need to look
within what is my near you know I
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:05
			am I a serious person not just
attending for the sake of social
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:11
			gathering. So that is a constant
reminder for ourselves. I remind
		
00:09:11 --> 00:09:17
			myself that I need to reform my
deen is about a HELOC about
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:23
			character to improve, to embellish
myself with characteristics that
		
00:09:23 --> 00:09:28
			Allah loves. If I'm impatient, I
should be becoming patient. If I
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:31
			miserly I should be becoming
generous.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:38
			You know if I get angry easily, I
should be one who becomes calm and
		
00:09:38 --> 00:09:43
			less restless. If I'm careless, I
should become caring.
		
00:09:44 --> 00:09:49
			If I'm heedless of Allah subhanaw
taala and of others, I shouldn't
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:56
			be become hateful. If I love to be
the head of everything. Then I
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:59
			should become one who loves to
serve others.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:01
			rather than leader.
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:07
			So, these are the qualities that
Allah subhanaw taala loves. These
		
00:10:07 --> 00:10:10
			are the qualities for which Rasul
Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam was
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:14
			sent to us, because this is what
we are going to meet Allah
		
00:10:14 --> 00:10:19
			subhanaw taala with, and we will
meet at last one, there is no
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			question about that. And he is not
going to ask you how much wealth
		
00:10:23 --> 00:10:26
			you left behind what you left
behind what property that was for
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:32
			here. What we will meet him with
is, what was your heart like? What
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:36
			was your character like? What was
your deeds? Like? What was your
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:40
			Ibadah your acts of worship? Like?
What was the quality of your
		
00:10:40 --> 00:10:45
			Salah? How was your song? How was
your hospitality? How did you
		
00:10:45 --> 00:10:51
			smile in the face? How was your
tongue where people safe from the
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			fruit of your tongue, and so on so
forth. How were your financial
		
00:10:55 --> 00:11:00
			dealings, these are the things for
which Allah subhanaw taala sent
		
00:11:00 --> 00:11:03
			his Golan which we are studying
and central surah Allah salAllahu
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:08
			Salam, so that we may develop the
qualities that Allah subhanaw
		
00:11:08 --> 00:11:11
			taala loves, and is pleased with.
		
00:11:16 --> 00:11:21
			And we must make ourselves aware
of this fact every single day and
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			at all times.
		
00:11:24 --> 00:11:27
			Which means that we have to
improve the quality of our
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:32
			awareness of Allah subhanaw taala
we call it Taqwa. We are always
		
00:11:32 --> 00:11:38
			aware of Allah, just like he
always knows us, whatever. How can
		
00:11:38 --> 00:11:43
			we forget the one who always sees
us and hears us. So be aware of
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:47
			Allah subhanaw taala and one way
of helping with that is constantly
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:52
			being in the remembrance of Allah.
Lai Lai la Allah Allahu Allah,
		
00:11:52 --> 00:11:56
			stuff for Allah, all of those when
we are driving when we are sitting
		
00:11:56 --> 00:12:01
			alone. You know, even when you are
forced to watch TV, you could be
		
00:12:01 --> 00:12:05
			doing this the far inside. So if
you're constantly in the car of
		
00:12:05 --> 00:12:09
			Allah subhanaw taala, you are
aware of him? And will we have
		
00:12:09 --> 00:12:12
			lapses where we are busy with
other things and get distracted?
		
00:12:12 --> 00:12:17
			Yes, the moment you realize that
that happened, immediately go back
		
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22
			stuff. Yeah, Allah. I spent the
last two hours without your
		
00:12:22 --> 00:12:26
			awareness, awareness of you
without remembering forgive me.
		
00:12:27 --> 00:12:30
			And no matter how many times we
fall and make mistakes, we keep
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:35
			going back. Because Allah's mercy
and His forgiveness is infinite.
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:41
			Don't ever think that I am, I've
done so poorly that there is no
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:42
			hope for me.
		
00:12:43 --> 00:12:46
			There is always hope because even
if we fill the space between the
		
00:12:46 --> 00:12:50
			earth and the heavens with our
sinfulness, but we turn to Allah
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:53
			subhanaw taala with sincere
repentance, he will meet us with
		
00:12:53 --> 00:12:56
			greater forgiveness than what we
have gathered of sinfulness. So
		
00:12:56 --> 00:12:58
			said Rasulullah sallallaahu Salam.
		
00:13:01 --> 00:13:01
			And
		
00:13:02 --> 00:13:07
			life is meant to be full of
challenges. There's going to be
		
00:13:07 --> 00:13:09
			challenges whether it's in health,
whether it's in wealth, whether
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:15
			it's in other things oppression,
and opportunities, challenges and
		
00:13:15 --> 00:13:18
			opportunities. And a believer
should turn every challenge every
		
00:13:18 --> 00:13:24
			difficulty into an opportunity.
How I react in this challenge is
		
00:13:24 --> 00:13:28
			an opportunity for me to make my
aka to please Allah smarter, not
		
00:13:28 --> 00:13:29
			complain if I'm sick.
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:33
			I should make that into something
positive.
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:40
			So everything we have to remember
that we are constantly being
		
00:13:40 --> 00:13:45
			challenged. And these are tests
for us to distract us to see how
		
00:13:45 --> 00:13:49
			committed I am. What is my
resolve? How consistent Am I in my
		
00:13:49 --> 00:13:54
			Deen? That's where we sometimes
are not very focused, you know,
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			some days we do you know, on and
off, on and off. If we look at our
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:02
			daily affairs, how often is it
that if you have a profession, so
		
00:14:02 --> 00:14:05
			today I'll go to work tomorrow, I
won't go to work, it doesn't
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:09
			happen. We are so committed to our
jobs to our professions to our
		
00:14:09 --> 00:14:13
			businesses. Well, this is a
business without law. So we have
		
00:14:13 --> 00:14:14
			to remember that
		
00:14:23 --> 00:14:26
			Allah subhanaw taala whenever he
talks about
		
00:14:27 --> 00:14:33
			the believers, the most frequently
recited phrase if you say is when
		
00:14:33 --> 00:14:37
			he talks about rewards and his
pleasure he says Amanu we're
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:38
			letting the AMA know
		
00:14:41 --> 00:14:47
			I'm Ella Salah hat. Avenue means
those who believe mL mL means
		
00:14:47 --> 00:14:52
			action solid heart means beautiful
righteous deeds. Allah subhanaw
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:56
			taala all his promise in the
medina Avenue I'm gonna sign how
		
00:14:56 --> 00:15:00
			long Jana till for those signals,
for example, that people
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:04
			Faith and righteous deeds for them
that is genital for those so
		
00:15:04 --> 00:15:09
			everywhere in the Quran hundreds
of places he says Amanu were
		
00:15:09 --> 00:15:13
			Armando Salah had he has spared
these two things together Eman
		
00:15:14 --> 00:15:18
			with righteous actions with deeds
okay.
		
00:15:19 --> 00:15:23
			He does not say that Jana and my
promises are for Amma know where
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:28
			Allah masala hat Allah masala hat
means those who know good deeds
		
00:15:32 --> 00:15:36
			we know Salah is good, but we
don't. We know telling truth is
		
00:15:36 --> 00:15:41
			good but we don't do it. We know
generosity is good. Allah never
		
00:15:41 --> 00:15:43
			says that. He says
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48
			it is implied that Amal Salah had
good deeds will require the
		
00:15:48 --> 00:15:53
			knowledge to know how to do it. So
he has integrated knowledge into
		
00:15:53 --> 00:15:58
			the deed. But the purpose of that
knowledge is to act on it.
		
00:15:58 --> 00:16:04
			Otherwise, it's empty information.
So always remember that we have to
		
00:16:04 --> 00:16:10
			be watching our action, that the
knowledge that we acquire here is
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:15
			an intermediate step. Ultimately,
the fruit of this is what Allah is
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:17
			looking for, which is Amal or
action.
		
00:16:19 --> 00:16:23
			You know, for example, if you grow
a fruit tree,
		
00:16:26 --> 00:16:30
			apple tree, how many of you would
like to grow an apple tree? I've
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			never seen an apple come on it.
		
00:16:33 --> 00:16:34
			So I have an apple tree.
		
00:16:37 --> 00:16:44
			Why do we grow it? Because we want
the fruit. In fact, the tree is
		
00:16:44 --> 00:16:53
			named after the fruit right after
the fruit. So we have to remember
		
00:16:53 --> 00:16:58
			that the knowledge is the means.
But Allah subhanaw taala wants to
		
00:16:58 --> 00:17:02
			see the fruit of this knowledge.
And that's why we gather here
		
00:17:06 --> 00:17:10
			the prophets Allah Allah, Allah
says salam summarized in one, in a
		
00:17:10 --> 00:17:16
			few words his entire mission. He
says, In nama Boo is to Tamar,
		
00:17:16 --> 00:17:22
			macadam o'clock, I have only been
sent to complete the perfect
		
00:17:23 --> 00:17:27
			o'clock character, conduct
actions, manners, for the
		
00:17:27 --> 00:17:31
			perfection of that, that's what
I've been saying. All of what
		
00:17:31 --> 00:17:33
			Allah wants us to do is that
		
00:17:34 --> 00:17:38
			and that o'clock includes a
badass, because our o'clock with
		
00:17:38 --> 00:17:39
			Allah is to worship.
		
00:17:40 --> 00:17:44
			That's our, our flag with each
other is not one of worship, but
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:48
			fair, and just treatment of
kindness of love and sharing and
		
00:17:48 --> 00:17:51
			all of that. So just remember
that.
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:57
			When we see people, sometimes we
always like to compete and look up
		
00:17:57 --> 00:17:58
			to people.
		
00:17:59 --> 00:18:04
			Don't compete with people who have
more of some material thing that
		
00:18:05 --> 00:18:09
			if you see someone who has a
better character than you, that's
		
00:18:09 --> 00:18:10
			the one to look up to.
		
00:18:11 --> 00:18:15
			That I never have seen this person
ever to lie. Why can't I be like
		
00:18:15 --> 00:18:19
			that? I see this person always so
generous. Why can't I be like
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:23
			this? I see this person so
compassionate, always caring and
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			self, why can't I be? So we should
look up to people of good
		
00:18:26 --> 00:18:27
			character.
		
00:18:28 --> 00:18:34
			And those now, that also comes
with them, they have knowledge.
		
00:18:34 --> 00:18:38
			But if you just see someone who
has a lot of knowledge, there is
		
00:18:38 --> 00:18:42
			no Wow about it, if you don't see
that knowledge in action in that
		
00:18:42 --> 00:18:49
			person. Okay. Because some of the
greatest, so called scholars in
		
00:18:49 --> 00:18:52
			the academic sense, are not even
Muslims.
		
00:18:54 --> 00:18:57
			They know more of the fasciae. And
they know more of when what came
		
00:18:57 --> 00:19:00
			down and what happened in Islamic
history, which had this one
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:04
			narrated by they can give you all
of that, but they don't even
		
00:19:04 --> 00:19:05
			believe.
		
00:19:06 --> 00:19:07
			So,
		
00:19:08 --> 00:19:11
			remember that that's what we are
		
00:19:13 --> 00:19:18
			looking for, not people who claim
scholarship, I want to see it in
		
00:19:18 --> 00:19:18
			action.
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:22
			There are many examples of this.
		
00:19:23 --> 00:19:28
			I think this particular one is
about alginate. If you some of you
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			may have heard of alginate Al
Baghdadi, the great aesthetic
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:37
			scholar of Baghdad, well known on
his time and he had his ASABE his
		
00:19:37 --> 00:19:39
			companions. One time they
		
00:19:40 --> 00:19:44
			they heard that a great scholar of
the time had come. So they said
		
00:19:44 --> 00:19:48
			let's go and pay respects to him.
So alginate that with his
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:51
			companions went there. And he was
sitting in a large gathering of
		
00:19:51 --> 00:19:55
			people. And as they came close,
you know, people started to make
		
00:19:55 --> 00:19:59
			move because they saw Look who's
coming. And then alginate turned
		
00:19:59 --> 00:19:59
			around
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			and came back without even meeting
the person and his companions were
		
00:20:05 --> 00:20:08
			sort of in a state of shock. We
came all this way to meet this
		
00:20:08 --> 00:20:12
			scholar. And our side, our leader
didn't even meet it.
		
00:20:13 --> 00:20:16
			But out of add up, they didn't say
anything. So they came back then
		
00:20:16 --> 00:20:22
			someone got the guts to say, yes
add, widen to see.
		
00:20:24 --> 00:20:29
			So he kept quiet, then you said,
Did you see that he spit in the
		
00:20:29 --> 00:20:31
			direction of the Qibla.
		
00:20:33 --> 00:20:36
			So what are we going to learn from
someone like that?
		
00:20:38 --> 00:20:42
			Action that a dub, that this
person is not aware of his
		
00:20:42 --> 00:20:46
			surroundings, not aware of the
pizza table are not aware of the
		
00:20:46 --> 00:20:50
			other that's required. So this is
what we're looking for actions.
		
00:20:50 --> 00:20:55
			Okay. One time you've probably all
heard of. Imam Ahmed bin humbled
		
00:20:55 --> 00:20:59
			one of the great four Imams, he
was the greatest scholar of his
		
00:20:59 --> 00:21:03
			time, the greatest of Imams of his
time, with most knowledge, the
		
00:21:03 --> 00:21:07
			greatest defender of the Sunnah.
He was put in prison and last for
		
00:21:07 --> 00:21:11
			a year he was in prison for 10
years defending Islam, the
		
00:21:11 --> 00:21:16
			greatest scholar of his time, the
greatest Imam on the earth
		
00:21:16 --> 00:21:17
			probably at that time.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:19
			So some of his
		
00:21:20 --> 00:21:22
			companions one day
		
00:21:23 --> 00:21:27
			who were big on knowledge and
information, talk to him about
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:31
			someone else, who was very humble
person by the name of Vishal
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:37
			haffi. He was not known for his
scholarship. He was a very simple
		
00:21:37 --> 00:21:42
			Zahid sort of ascetic person,
always in ibadah, and, you know,
		
00:21:42 --> 00:21:47
			known not to indulge in anything
wrong. So one of his companions
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:50
			said, Yeah, Imam, what do you
think of the knowledge of Bashar
		
00:21:50 --> 00:21:52
			Al haffi? Sort of
		
00:21:53 --> 00:21:54
			trying to put him down?
		
00:21:56 --> 00:22:02
			So Imam Mohammed bin humble, or
the Allahu, he just instead of
		
00:22:02 --> 00:22:08
			saying anything, he recited when I
have the Quran, we says, In NEMA
		
00:22:08 --> 00:22:11
			Yaksha Allah min a by the hill or
lemma,
		
00:22:12 --> 00:22:13
			which means,
		
00:22:14 --> 00:22:20
			indeed, truly, those are the
Allamah the scholars who have the
		
00:22:20 --> 00:22:24
			Hashem the awe and reverence of
Allah in their hearts. In other
		
00:22:24 --> 00:22:28
			words, you may not have more
knowledge than Michel haffi. But
		
00:22:28 --> 00:22:32
			do you know, can you see in his
actions, how much reverence he has
		
00:22:32 --> 00:22:36
			for Allah. In other words, there
is no comparison. So don't look
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:40
			down on people just because you
normal, it's the actions. So those
		
00:22:40 --> 00:22:46
			are the some of the reminders that
we are here to learn, to lead us
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:51
			to love Allah to fear Allah, to
humble ourselves before Him, and
		
00:22:51 --> 00:22:56
			to have reverence for him. And we
should always keep that lens and
		
00:22:56 --> 00:23:00
			focus of whatever we learn. Today,
we are going to learn some have
		
00:23:00 --> 00:23:05
			another early Surah that we're
going to start, how can I apply
		
00:23:05 --> 00:23:09
			this in my life, and that's what
we need to do.
		
00:23:11 --> 00:23:16
			So sorry for this long
introduction. But because of the
		
00:23:16 --> 00:23:18
			long break, I thought it was
necessary
		
00:23:20 --> 00:23:22
			to remind myself and remind each
other.
		
00:23:23 --> 00:23:25
			So our
		
00:23:26 --> 00:23:33
			scheduled Surah for today is the
surah number 111 which is towards
		
00:23:33 --> 00:23:39
			the end which is called Al masjid,
also known as a lab. Okay, and I'm
		
00:23:39 --> 00:23:44
			sure all of our youngsters
probably know, and that's, that's
		
00:23:44 --> 00:23:50
			why I recited it in the Asia cell.
Okay, if you don't know you will
		
00:23:50 --> 00:23:53
			learn by next in two weeks
Inshallah, otherwise we will hold
		
00:23:53 --> 00:23:54
			your mother accountable.
		
00:23:56 --> 00:24:02
			So this is a Surah, which is one
of the early makin sutras revealed
		
00:24:02 --> 00:24:08
			to the Prophet sallallaahu Salam,
there is an occasion of revelation
		
00:24:08 --> 00:24:12
			many of you may know about it,
that Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:24:12 --> 00:24:13
			revealed.
		
00:24:14 --> 00:24:19
			After the initial Revelation,
there was a gap and then he was
		
00:24:19 --> 00:24:25
			ordered to start conveying the
message and to his family and then
		
00:24:25 --> 00:24:29
			Allah subhanaw taala revealed an
IR which says well under a Shara
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:36
			tackle a Caribbean and warn your
near and dear relatives, those who
		
00:24:36 --> 00:24:40
			are close to you. So the Prophet
salallahu alayhi salam gathered
		
00:24:40 --> 00:24:46
			all the Quraysh they're related to
each other. He gathered them in a
		
00:24:46 --> 00:24:51
			place called Al in Bogota, which
is sort of a plane with a little
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:56
			mountain. And he called them that
all of you have to come and the
		
00:24:56 --> 00:24:59
			way he would call is, yeah, sub
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:04
			which means people come at once
like, if it's an emergency, they
		
00:25:04 --> 00:25:08
			call you just like we had an
emergency alert today because of
		
00:25:08 --> 00:25:12
			amber alert during salah. This was
like an Amber Alert of the time
		
00:25:12 --> 00:25:16
			everyone come. So everybody left
whatever they were doing and they
		
00:25:16 --> 00:25:20
			came, the Prophet sallallahu
climbed up on this mountain a
		
00:25:20 --> 00:25:24
			little bit so that everybody could
see him. And he said,
		
00:25:25 --> 00:25:31
			or so and so also and so so and
so. If I were to tell you that
		
00:25:31 --> 00:25:37
			there is an enemy behind this
mountain that's drawing near, and
		
00:25:37 --> 00:25:41
			that will attack you tomorrow
morning or tomorrow evening. Will
		
00:25:41 --> 00:25:41
			you believe me?
		
00:25:43 --> 00:25:50
			Guess what they all said?
Absolutely. Because he was a mean
		
00:25:51 --> 00:25:54
			the most truthful never known lie,
said if you are to say there's an
		
00:25:54 --> 00:25:57
			enemy that's behind you, that's
yes, we would believe you.
		
00:25:59 --> 00:26:02
			So after establishing his
credentials with them that okay,
		
00:26:02 --> 00:26:07
			I'm telling I tell the truth. He
said, well, then listen to me.
		
00:26:09 --> 00:26:15
			For in in the rule come by now
your day, when should it therefore
		
00:26:15 --> 00:26:19
			I warn you of Allah's punishment
that is near.
		
00:26:21 --> 00:26:26
			In other words, if you do not give
up what you're doing, and come to
		
00:26:26 --> 00:26:31
			sow hate worship of Allah subhanaw
taala and to accept the message
		
00:26:31 --> 00:26:36
			that I'm giving you after heat,
then Allah's punishment, and his
		
00:26:36 --> 00:26:43
			torment is very close. The moment
he said this, his paternal uncle,
		
00:26:44 --> 00:26:45
			his paternal uncle,
		
00:26:47 --> 00:26:49
			whose name was
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:51
			Abu Lahab
		
00:26:53 --> 00:26:59
			whose actual name was Abdullah Oza
Ibn Abdul Mutallab. He said he
		
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02
			became very angry. He said Tom
Baluch.
		
00:27:03 --> 00:27:07
			This is what you have called us
for the bollock is a curse,
		
00:27:07 --> 00:27:09
			telling the prophets Allah Allah
Allah. So
		
00:27:10 --> 00:27:14
			imagine telling the Prophet Tomba
luck, may you be destroyed
		
00:27:15 --> 00:27:19
			where you perish? I mean, that's
such a serious thing to say. And
		
00:27:19 --> 00:27:26
			he stomped off. And in some other
narration, he he stood up when he
		
00:27:26 --> 00:27:30
			was sitting down, shaking his
head, he said, Damn you all day
		
00:27:30 --> 00:27:30
			long.
		
00:27:32 --> 00:27:33
			The Baluch Coolio
