alumina, alumina B neural Quran or neural Iman.
We start by praising Allah subhanaw taala and sending Peace
and blessings on our beloved messenger Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala sincerely to open the hearing
channels of our hearts to his remembrance.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth as the truth and to
help us to follow and act upon it. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to
show us falsehood as falsehood and to stay away from it. We ask Allah
subhanaw taala to enlighten our hearts with the knower of his
words is kalam the Quran
and we ask him to grant us those qualities which he loves,
and make our insight image our clock beautiful, that's beloved to
him.
Last time we started this
Quran study group with a revelation of Ikara. And what
happened Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam, as was mentioned,
was told by Baraka, Norfolk, that this is the same angel who came to
Musa Lisanna. And this is what's going to happen.
Now, there came what's called Fatra werkelijk, a gap in
Revelation
after this encounter, which is sort of very strange for anybody
like me, said, Rasulullah sallallahu sallam was like a
normal human being with a father, he was a husband, he was a friend,
he was doing business, and suddenly he has this encounter.
And he had some doubts about it. And this man said, No, this is
what it means. So now, what would be your normal
response? Your response would be, well,
when does this angel come again? Or what's going to happen next?
One, nothing happened.
Now, various
historians have said that was probably about six months
approximately that nothing came down.
During this time, Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam would go to
Valhalla again. And he would still spend time in Halawa, like you
said, for that spiritual isolation to think.
So
was it by accident, that revelation stopped?
Did Gibreel Allah Salam loses way No, this is the wisdom of Allah
subhanaw taala. Now the wisdom of Allah subhanaw taala is known only
to Allah.
But we can postulate which may be correct or not, that this time was
given to Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam to
adapt to this to digest the the encounter that he had to feed,
because what's going to happen is his whole life trajectory, his
direction of his life is suddenly going to change.
He has been told that you are the Prophet of Allah, you've received
revelation. So that if Quran was the first indication that he was
given Prophet true. I mean, we know from him that he was a
prophet is a container bn were Adam Beiner just said, Ro just
said, but that he was told afterwards, that time he didn't
know.
So now he's thinking, what's going to be my future, his whole
direction of life is going to change. Now imagine we make career
changes. Suppose a doctor suddenly decides to become an attorney.
It's a complete change, you know, somebody else, you know, in our
lives, you know, we get married, it's a complete change. We get
divorces a change, sickness comes it changes your life, not this
is much more than that.
You know, this is between the dunya and something beyond. So
perhaps that wisdom was
to give Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam enough time to think about
the impact of what has just happened, let his heart get used
to the meaning of being a messenger of Rasul and Nabi.
So that is something that we should think of that there was a
gap that we should know, after the first one. And there was wisdom
behind it, which Allah knows. So on one of these after that six
months, or whatever time it was, I mean, there are some narrations
that say two years, which seems highly unlikely, and they're not
very reliable.
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam is coming back from Guadalajara.
And he hears
his name being called,
it looks and he looks he sees nobody. Then he looks up. And he
says, this is a Hadith narrated by Jabra and Abdullah and Muslim and
Bihari Mustafa canali. That when I looked up, he says, I saw the same
Molech, the same angel who had come to me in the car. And he was
sitting on a could see, it's called kursi. You can call a chair
don't think of these chairs. And he extended from the horizon all
the way as far as I could see. So when he saw Gibreel Ali Salaam in
his massive form, he again got scared. And he started running.
And in this narration of Jabba Abdullah, he said as he was
running, he tripped and fell salah, Halina salah,
and then he got up and he ran home again, to our mother are these are
the
same thing. The Maloney is a Melone the federal government
cover me wrap me up, wrap me up, scared.
As he comes down, comes the next revelation, because he's wrapped
up with all of these extra clothes, because He's shivering.
Allah subhanaw taala reveals Surah Al Muda,
which, according to the majority of scholars, is the second
revelation. There are some opinions that noon while Kalam was
second, but the majority say based on this hadith of the Prophet
sallallahu Sallam
because he didn't encounter Jibreel Allah Salam between the
first and this, because he identified that this is the same
angel who had come in very Hara to
so Surah Madatha is revealed.
So we are going to read the seven IERS all the bIllahi min ash
shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman Rahim, Allah subhanaw taala
says, yeah, a you have
come under.
Come for under we're Rebecca fuckable with Thea Baca Fatah
here, while regisseur furniture
Wallah Tom noon, the stack Phil, Willie Rebecca,
for smoke.
What does that mean? We'll read the translation in English and
once in odo and then we'll go over what this means Allah subhanaw
taala says, or you who are wrapped up or covered in garments
arise under and give the warning
well Rebecca for Kabir, and your Lord you magnify his greatness
with fear Baca Fatah here and purify your garments. That's
literally
what routes Fajr ends keep away from rich impurity and idols what
people used to worship
and give not something in order to receive more
volatile non toxic
work.
Lee Rob Baker, first beer and for your Lord show patience.
This is the literal translation of you. We can have it read in order
to confirm the date but a
photo or a nightclub
or a political party archy
or update the promo code
founder partisan tutor
or is Liam se
SR Nakuru says they are gonna get the toilet
So,
as we said we are going over in chronological order not in the
order in which Allah subhanaw taala had the Quran compiled. So
we started with 96. Now we are on 74 Surah number 74 for seven years
and this is the Macan Quran and Macker Quran has a distinct style
one as you can see the ayerza brief
Two words, three words, okay? And they have a rhyme. You can see the
rhyme
Yeah, you help with death coming for under Rebecca Kabir with Thea
Baca Fatah Hill.
So there is a rhyme to it. So many of the makin sutras have brief is
and they rhyme.
And that way helps you to identify where it was revealed, even though
historical facts are there. And the other thing is the content of
the source, the makin sources, the themes of the sources have to deal
with the revelation of the Quran.
That this is the truth from your Lord, the resolve Rasulullah
Salallahu Salam, confirming that he is the messenger of Allah
subhanaw taala the aid of Allah subhanaw taala, the Oneness of
Allah subhanaw taala aka
the resurrection and individual accountability. So these are the
themes of all makan revelation. As we said, nothing for the first 12
and a half years was revealed in terms of commandments of Salah
Psalms, aka Paje, halal haram, none of that was just these
themes. And of course, you could say, when you sit down hate that
means it's forbidding shirk. Okay. So, these are the themes in which
this Quran stock starts.
As we said, surah Allah was the first revelation that assigned
prophethood Naboo to Rasulullah sallallahu sallam. This is the
first revelation that assigned rissalah or messenger ship to
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, because as you know, there are
some of these chosen people who were Umbria, only Nabi but they
were not Rasul. Rasul. Rasul is unabIe and era. So, his job is
also not just to receive, but to convey to people rissalah.
So, here rissalah is being granted to rasool Allah Salla. What is the
proof of that, we'll come to that in a minute. So Allah subhanaw
taala says, now you see the scene, here is Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam in his home,
wrapped up in all of these garments.
And Allah subhanaw taala says, Yeah, au Hollywood, en la sua
Antara doesn't say yeah, Muhammad Sallallahu. Yeah, Ahmed. Yeah, a U
haul. Muda Muda. Third means someone who's got lots of layers
of garments.
In the Arabic language, the far means outer garments, you know,
like Tobs and outer overcoats and things. The inner garments are
called she are
what is right next to your body, which is more essentially Scottish
er, this is for more beautification for comfort, you're
wrapping up outside.
That's where Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said something to the
effect that the InSAR or my car and the rest of the people are my
defar.
In other words, he gave a special status to the answer that they are
my most closest and most intimate and everyone else is my outer
garments. So Allah subhanaw taala addresses him that all you who are
wrapped up in all these clothes who are covered with all these
clothes. Now why that mode of address
in the Arabic language
this is
a way of addressing people with affection with love.
Yet there is a component of a slight reprimand means don't do
what you're doing.
Now okay, yes, you are wrapped up you're comfortable. It's just like
if you had a child who was wrapped up and he's sleeping, and you want
him to get up, and you just said Are you sleepy one get up? Are you
wrapped up? Are you comfortable one get up. So out of love, you
are describing what they are doing.
But the hint is,
get out of there. And also Allah Allah Allah Allah says
I used to use words like this because so you had an ally Radi
Allahu Anhu had was called by Rasulullah Salallahu Salam as Abu
Taarab the father of just one time he said, Get up you're about to
rob because
as a leader of the Allah Han, and Bibi fought him out of the Allahu
anha at one time had had some
domestic disagreement. So alira de Allah Han, even in the most noble
and honorable home, these things can happen. And, you know, the
house of Fatima will be alone, those who have been right next to
it, it's like from here to the next room. So Rasulullah
sallallahu Sallam came out of his house and he found earlier of the
Alana sleeping outside
and he was covered with dust because you know, a student Naboo
was full of dust. So he saw him there. And he thought about it. So
he prodded him with his foot and said yeah, about Taraba father of
dust ins get up. So this was a title given in other words don't
lie.
Okay. So similarly, Allah subhanaw taala has addressed in another
Surah You have Muslim male which has similar meaning Okay, covered
up, you know, so Allah subhanaw taala has addressed the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam in the Quran many many places.
And not once has he said yah, Muhammad Sallallahu is because
even though that is factual and correct, it is considered a lesser
degree of closeness Yet Allah subhanaw taala says yah, Isa yah
yah, yah yah, Zachary. Yah, yah Musa. Yah, Ibrahim, ya know, all
of these people have been addressed all the cool, awesome.
Yeah, Adam,
have been addressed by the names like that, but for Rasulullah
Salallahu Alaihe Salam he is used terms like this. Yeah, you have
NaVi. Yeah, you have Rasul? Yeah, you have Buddhism Millia. You have
words like that which show sort of a special honor for him, and
special intimacy and affection.
So, Allah subhanaw taala says, yeah, a U haul. Muda.
Now, in our own lives,
we have to project this that he's addressing Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam, how is he addressing us, because we are covered with layers
and layers and layers of things in our life.
Layers of comfort layers of luxury things that essentially put us to
sleep.
So Allah is telling us leave some of those things come for
comments, stand up, arise, means you are being given a job.
And you're gonna get up
to do something. And this is the greatest of all jobs that you are
going to warn people under means to warn, warn them of what of what
is coming ahead, warn them of what the consequences are of what they
are doing, of shirk, and all the bad things that they were doing.
Warn them against everything that puts a barrier between you and
Allah subhanaw taala anything that takes you away from Allah subhanaw
taala warn them against it, warn them about the day of judgment
that is coming warn them about the Jahannam that's coming, warn them
about the consequences of disobedience in this life and on
the in the grave and give them all kinds of warnings so they may move
away from the things that Allah doesn't want.
So Allah subhanaw taala could have said yeah, you will Madatha under
warned
but he says first come
commits a direct imperative command to you Rasul Allah
salAllahu Alaihe Salam you stand up you are eyes first what is the
meaning of our eyes means you become solid solid in your clock
solid in your Eman solid in your head you know solid and in
everything. So Allah subhanaw taala is giving us a hint that the
first person that we should be concerned about who has to make
the change is me.
Today what do we do? So let's go and tell this let me fix this let
me give dower to so and so and we who do we ignore and and put in
second myself.
So come first yourself you get up because only if you are like that
can you have be an effective die for others Okay. Otherwise you
have ineffective down if I tell you to tell the truth and then you
catch me lying with my words have any impact on you know
if I asked you to stay away from something disliked or haram
And then you see me doing that. It's going to have no impact, so
he doesn't do or she doesn't do what they preach. So Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us right off the top comb, through
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam who did not need all of this, but
indirectly to us, that you literally and figuratively stand
up upright means you have to be ready. You have to have zeal, you
have to drop everything else. And then you stand up.
Start with yourself, because this is the skeleton without a
skeleton, you're on your face. There's nothing. You have to be
strong enough because the responsibility which you will hear
in Surah, Muzammil which will come next, Allah says we are going to
call and we are going to put on you a very heavy burden.
Because this is a responsibility that's being given to a messenger
that has never been given to any messenger before.
including Abraham Alesana, New Orleans la Musa is because they
were all sent for a tribe or for a city or for a country. Nobody was
sent as a messenger for all of humanity except Rasulullah saw
no * on when Nadira.
You know, what Diana and I said Raja manera. Last month, Allah
talks about that you are the giver of glad tidings, you are the
Warner. You are the Suraj the light for who Rahmatullah Allah
mean for all the worlds. You are a newbie for NASA Jamia all of
mankind, this responsibility was not given to any other prophet. So
this is the heaviest of responsibility. It's not just the
people of Makkah.
It's not just the Arabs, okay. So,
you have to be strong to take this
responsibility.
Also,
unless we are solid and erect and upright,
we really cannot make changes and others. That's why to give you an
example, all of you fly, and when they they are giving you
instructions in the beginning, what do they say, in case of a
drop in cabin pressure, what happens? The masks will drop
automatically, then what do they say?
Fall First put out even if you have a little child with you, or
three children, so I want to take care of you know, first put on the
mask yourself, then take care of everything else. Because if you
are not proper in the right, you will not be able to take care of
anybody else. Okay? That's the first step that we I should
remember that always, especially. Because we all like to give Dawa
and your non Muslims and this and that and this. I need to be
on solid grounds myself. Okay. So that's very, very important.
And then, as we said, worn and worn against everything, every
belief, every system, every action, every habit, every
characteristic that Allah dislikes, that's going to move you
away from Allah, that's going to get you to Allah subhanaw taala as
displeasure because if Allah is displeased with you, nobody can
save you. And that displeasure may manifest in this dunya then stress
and anxiety and all other kinds of things, not just in death and
disease, because Allah gave kingdoms to disobedient people,
but the anxiety and the fear and all of that, that comes okay.
And then Allah subhanaw taala says, After the war, Rebecca
Africa, and your Lord Kabir, kabir means to declare His greatness
that is greater than everything else, and anything else. Where do
we declare this greatness that declaration of Allah's greatness
of his, his?
His being above everything else has to be first in my heart?
I have to be convinced.
And then it should be with my words, when it's not enough to
say, when it comes Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. And
then Allah is not Akbar, in my life. My actions don't show that
Allah Akbar. If I disobey Allah subhanaw taala.
What does it mean? That means Allah is not Akbar. My desire is,
money is Akbar. In reality now cricket, that's what it means. So,
when we say Allah, to take your Lord and declare His, his
greatness, that means, all we in my heart, I should be clear that
in front of Allah
There is nothing
Okay? When I have power
but likes around,
I should remember allies Akbar. If I remember Allah Akbar, I'm not
going to do any injustice, I'm not going to take advantage of my
power.
If I have wealth, I should remember Allah Akbar. Watch where
it is being spent.
If I have anything else, which gives me out organs, remember
Allah Akbar. Similarly, in the position of, you know, the
ultimate strength, like we just went through the Feast of
Sacrifice, you have a lamb in front of you, and you have a
knife. That's a completely helpless creature in front of you,
that you have been given the power to cut the neck.
What do you say when you cut the neck?
Bismillah Allahu Akbar, remind yourself this is not your power.
Allah is Akbar. That's been granted to you by Allah. Okay,
Allahu Akbar. Anytime I think a thought comes to me, of
disobedience,
by tape should play in my heart in my head. Allahu Akbar. Allahu
Akbar. And he desired comes, that's not appropriate. Allahu
Akbar. And the action where I want to show my anger my Allahu Akbar,
be careful of your action because Allah is Akbar. He knows. And he
sees, and if he were to deal with you, like you're dealing, what
would happen?
Sometimes it's intellectual. You know, you're, you are very smart.
And you're showing people you're very smart. You're winning
arguments and debates. Allahu Akbar.
Allahu Akbar. That's why we say, morning and evening, at least 100
times. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. I'm thinking about it. And
thinking about what I have done today, when I was not conscious of
Allahu Akbar, I did something. If Allah is Akbar as he is, I
shouldn't have done that. Okay, so Allah subhanaw taala tells the
Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
actually, it's for us, because Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam had
no doubt about it. But reminder to him.
Well, Rebecca, and the word Rob we use last time Allah subhanaw taala
doesn't say Say Allahu Akbar, your Rob because Rob is Allah's Rubia
like was mentioned, He created you from nothing he has given you
everything. You were hanging in there in the womb of your mother's
nothing, you know, point six millimeter in size or less. And
now you become big and strong. You think you are Akbar, Allahu Akbar.
So that always be reminded that Allah is your Rob, he sustains
you, he can pull the plug anytime he wants.
Anytime he wants, literally pull the plug, you know, because
electrical things are going on here, electrical things are going
on in your heart, you pull the plug, as they say, it's flatline.
No electrical signals
allawah So that we should always keep in mind.
The next we're Thea Baca for the word sold. As we said thobe Thea
literally means clothes. But in the Arabic language, see, AB is
also used for heart. In Arabic poetry, it was used for the word
heart, for the hair means to purify your clothes.
Now, if you take that as a literal meaning means we should wear clean
clothes, purified clothes, first of all, there have to be there's a
concept of purity. If my outfit is purchased out of haram earning no
matter how clean and pure, it looks brand new, it is not.
So your earnings have to be pure,
then you cannot have no Jassa on it impurities because there is
punishment for impurities. It's not it's not just you know, know
if you have knowingly, your clothes are impure. As we know the
Hadith of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam people being punished
in the grave. What was the reason? They were careless with the urine?
It got on their clothes. So to wear clothes that are impure in
that way, or you can get dust on your clothes that looks dirty, but
it's not impure. Okay, impurities. It's a sin to wear impure clothes
because you cannot touch the Quran you cannot pray you cannot do many
things. Okay? So your clothes have to be purified in that sense.
Okay. And as you said,
clean
Now suppose you have very clean clothes. Do you put them on a
dirty body?
No. You like to bathe and wash yourself? So that's the physical
aspect. You know new clothes, you know, eat what do we do you wash
we put on clothes. Now similarly clean clothes or not put on a
dirty body. Think about putting beautiful clean clothes. And we're
dirty inside.
Because the other word of fear is your heart. So if there is
arrogance Kibber
if there is delusion, hygiene, I'm so full of myself if there is
hypocrisy, if there is shake inside, you know, if there is
greed inside, if there is jealousy inside, these are all impurities,
not just spiritual.
So Allah subhanaw taala is telling us to purify ourselves outside and
inside in Islam, even though there is a reputation that Muslims smell
and they're dirty. But look at what our Dean says wash yourself
five times a day, you take a bath and you do this and you in the
desert where there was very little water. You know, they had to do
all of this.
Because what are we doing in this? washing our hands 100 times a day,
washing your face many times a day. What does it mean? There may
be no dirt.
It should remind you of inner purity. What did my hands commit
that Allah doesn't like sinful? What did my eyes I'm washing my
eyes? What did my eyes see? That is displeasing to Allah subhanaw
taala what in my mouth? What words did I say that displeasing to
Allah subhanaw taala so every part of the body when we wash should
remind us that I need to purify with justified and Toba every
aspect then I deserve to wear clean clothes.
But Thea Baca for it purify yourself, internally and
externally from everything that Allah is displeased with.
Also,
in that time, the
I won't say royalty, but the rich and famous and people in charge
used to wear long tubes that used to drag like the queen and all
have a train, you know,
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam told them, raise them above
the ankle because that besides cleaning, doing vacuum cleaning of
the flat floor has made it physically dirty. But it was a
sign of arrogance kibble, the more money I had the longer train I
had, bring them over your ankle.
Purify your clothes. So some of the commentators have said shorten
your cloths so that it doesn't show arrogance.
So those are some of the Mufasa rune who have said something about
the fear.
And every time what we ever do, we should reflect on it inside. Like
when we wash clothes, we throw them in how many times you use a
washing machine and you throw clothes Oh, my clothes are dirty.
You should remind us it's not an automatic thing. I'm cleaning my
clothes, I should be cleaning my inside. I'm washing my face, I
should be washing and all of those things if we're constantly
reminding ourselves of what we need to do inside and we have to
be honest with ourselves you know I might say Oh, I'm fine.
I'm fine. That's taking the easy but if we look critically we will
find that some people may have greed
some people may have arrogance some people may have other things
some people think that delusion himself you know that oh I'm so
good.
Whatever we have, we should acknowledge and work and ask Allah
subhanaw taala to purify us from that
what who roots Fajr roots means dirt or filth literally, but this
external field okay. But more importantly casue allah sallallahu
sallam was not a dirty person. What is meant by roots is most of
the commentators have used the word the most greatest of impurity
is shirk, idols. So they translate this is, you know, move away from
idols do Hegira from idols, but roots stands for dirt, physical,
filth, physical, spiritual, dirt, spiritual filth, attributing
partners to Allah subhanaw taala, making an idol. All of those
things, so anything that defines us that makes us dirty, and of all
of that the greatest is shirk. We need to remember that and we need
to take care of it as soon as we see a seed of it.
The moment you notice something is coming in. Today as Muslims, we
don't worship Iris. But we have an idol which is called money. The
moment you start feeling
comfort with money or arrogance with money
and security with money, or no I'm okay.
There is a hint of Schick right there. Allahu Akbar, this is risk
from him. He has given it to us it right he can take it. That's
always reminding ourselves that all of this can be routes can be
impurity because it affects our relationship with Allah subhanaw
taala my relationship instead of dependence on Allah matawa
cologne, Allah, now it's on my bank account on my investment. And
if that becomes then what the market has done in the last week,
then I get depressed.
Then I'm anxious. Why because that's where my attachment was.
That's what I will depending on now it's gone. You know? So if my
dad or Allah gives Allah takes no problem, okay? So remember that
Fajr
is from hijra, it's an active Act means move away from all of these
things, migrate to Allah and His Rasul. I move from this to Allah
Hijra for your command. Hijra means to move away from every
situation which is going to compromise my Eman which is going
to compromise my obedience of Allah subhanaw taala
it may be a place if I go to such and such place. Or if I'm in the
company of such and such person.
I have become a little weak towards disobedience of
Fudger move away from even those places because our deen tells us
that anything that's haram everything that leads to that is
also haram.
Okay.
So
alcohol is haram.
Don't sit in the company of people who are drinking, because a weak
moment may come and there's no there's nothing wrong. You know,
just if you have a beer, no problem.
Or other things you are in a moment of weakness, you go to a
club, and you're not that strong and then you attempt it. You may
not complete the full act, but the thoughts can you start
entertaining thoughts of Zina of cheating of drinking, even though
he didn't do it, Allah subhanaw taala helped, but those thoughts
came that's also reads the thought itself. So the moment that seed
comes, you make Hijra from that and remind yourself I am making
Hegira to Allah and as Russell
Okay, move away from everything that is going to lead to that
wallet dumb noon the stack now as we read it says don't do any favor
kindness, Grace charity to people expecting more than reward
means I'm helping someone
and I'm doing I sign on somebody and I expect Oh, he's ungrateful,
he should do return it to me at least or return me more. It's like
an investment. Allah subhanaw taala says whatever you do you do
for the sake of Allah one don't expect more. Sometimes we even
given charity knowing that Allah will give us more let me give more
because Allah will give it give it to Allah Yes, He will give you my
don't give it with the intention that okay, I'm going to get this
back from him.
Okay, so that's one thing that when we do
mana, which is favors
kindness, giving money, don't expect anything in return.
You do it for less
there is another meaning of a term known in the Arabic language which
means weakness.
Don't become weak in your resolve in what you are going to do in
your effort of Deen in all of that the stack when you are faced with
the majority
when the majority are doing something else, no become the oh
everybody else is doing how can I do this? Nobody else is doing
Salah How can I pray? That's also why Allah Thurman the success
because you look at the exterior, yet the majority are disobeying.
Then you become a little weak say, oh, maybe I'll go home and do my
salah.
That's weakness.
That's the same meaning. So this has both meaning and
There is a third meaning to this wallet unknown to stack third
means don't look at what you have done.
of obedience to Allah subhanaw taala as, as Kathy oh I have done,
I am so good delusion. You know, I do my prayers I've done Hajj I do
this I give charity, don't look at what you've done and think it's a
lot
because first of all, what Allah has given you this compares with
nothing. Okay?
Number two, even what good you have done is by the grace of Allah
subhanaw taala is by the topic of Allah Subhan Allah so it's not
from you anyway. So even when you're doing good, thank Allah
don't
have contentment. No, I'm I'm all set. I'm doing good. Remember
that.
Wally, Rob Baker, for spear is the last and for your Lord show
suburb. And we did a whole session on suburb. The first part of
suburb. Word suburb is not just patience, it's perseverance
continuing to do something, to remain calm, to not complain.
For the sake of your Lord means you're doing it for Allah subhanaw
taala not because of anything else, okay? It's not for sure that
let me show people how come I've had a major disaster loss and I'm
looking cool inside. I'm burning up but I'm looking cool in front.
That's for people for Allah subhanaw taala. Now sub as we
said, was three major categories. If you remember Subhan. Allah wa
means when Allah has given a commandment to do, obedience of
that command requires sub getting up for Fajr at four o'clock in the
morning requires suberb perseverance, obeying Allah
subhanaw taala in difficult times when everybody's Islamophobic
requires sub perseverance. So obedience of every command of
Allah smart Allah following it is called Sabra
being steadfast,
also suborn unelma See, in the face of temptation, I'm tempted,
I'm tempted to make illegal quick buck.
I said, this is haram, I do something I refrain from that I
withhold myself
I'm tempted to disobey Allah subhanaw taala I would also
temptation and hold withholding from that is also sub. And the
third which most commonly people understand is when you have some
kind of a challenge in your life, some mercy by some difficulty
comes some fitness and something else comes some Bala, some trial
from Allah subhanaw taala, whether it's a loss of some sort, whether
it's a sickness, whether it's a death, whether it's any of that,
that you do something.
So you do something for Allah subhanaw taala under all
circumstances, and it is for Allah subhanaw taala
you have financial challenges, you do suffer.
You get too much of money, you do suffer, you don't flaunt it, you
don't become arrogant, you don't
use it in bad ways. You don't waste it. If you're getting too
little. You don't go out and look for haram ways you do some
intellectual challenges, that if you are smart, you be patient with
that you don't, you know, push people around with that because of
your smartness. If you are challenged mentally, you do suffer
with that. You be patient that this is what Allah has given me.
Technical attack technically, is you know, technology, you do
suffer with that, that requires a lot there is a lot available on
these devices. Okay.
Subhan, Allah, Allah, I'm going to talk that's another thing which
will take me back to when Allah subhanaw taala says, while we're
Russa Fajr, rich impurity, I was just saying that physical
impurities, we like to leave our shoes outside on the door, because
we don't want to bring the dirt into the house.
Yet we carry a spiritual dirt right in here. We bring them into
our houses, without thinking about it, and we go on it. I'm not
saying everything is bad. But there is a lot of routes that's
available on this before we used to bring it on TVs, bring it into
our house, not limited the door. Then we said we want to see it
even bigger than we had mega TVs. Then we said we'll do even better.
We'll carry it with us routes potential forwards we carry with
us. So we should remember just like we like to leave dirt at the
door of our house. Don't bring them into the mud room. Leave all
of those things out. Which doesn't mean that physically it's the
phone. It's not physically the phone but what that leads to what
is
is available on that. The Temptations, the impurities, the
disobedience, the the wrong ideologies, you know all kinds and
we have examples of God with all of these people being brainwashed
to kill people to shoot people to, you know, whether it's ISIS
whether these people today the
white supremacist or anybody, this is all routes, which has come on
devices and media. And of course there is * and
everything else that's available. Almost 110. 5g will leave it if
you have any app that leads to that anything Delete.
There's no need for it. So those are essentially some of the iPads
that we wanted to cover today.
Allah subhanaw taala addresses us to stand up ourselves in a flock
in Tawheed in certainty of the Agra take hold of ourselves, and
then
people around starting with a foster starting where do we start
somewhere in our own homes with our spouses without children?
Because we have power over them? In little children two year old, I
can yell at him, I can spank him I can give him this. No, Allah has
given custody of you treat with Rama that summer. Even though you
get into arguments back down, no need for unnecessary arguments.
Sometimes even when you're right. We should Mel a teach me first and
teach everybody to back off. I don't need to argue I don't need
to win this argument.
Even when you're right, because Rasulullah sallallahu sallam said
I guarantee a place in the middle of Jannah for someone who stays
away from arguing, even when he's right.
Because once argument starts then things deteriorate the language
deteriorates and feelings deteriorate many things. So we
have to be very careful with all of those. Allah subhanaw taala
reminds us to think of him always as Allah Akbar,
to purify ourselves internally and externally, to stay away from
everything that leads to haram. And no matter what challenges
come, no matter what, you know, difficulties we face no matter
what we are given a bounties we always remember that we have to
act with patience and with gratitude to Allah smile and we
have to make our own o'clock the best first. So that with that we
will end inshallah and we will go for Maghrib and then after maghrib
we will have about a half hour available for question and answers
and shall
and
