Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Bala
Allahi wa Sahbihi woman Hala
llama Zinnia Halima Allahu Allah to the body. cohabit anomala
dhankar Rama in I can tell you a
long Laughter My Samia alumina lithic Rick,
your law open the hearing channels of our hearts to your remembrance
and don't let our hearts swerve from the right path after you have
given us guidance,
you are lying crease us in useful knowledge and accept this effort
of studying your book and starting with on 30
So, my dear brothers and sisters we have covered a portion of the
opening chapter al Fatiha in the last three sessions with an
introduction and we covered how the fattier starts with the praise
of Allah subhanaw taala Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Al hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil Alameen R Rahman Al Rahim Malik Kiyomi deen and we finished
with E Yeah, Kenya Abu where II kind of stir honey. This is where
we ended, which is that key IRA.
So, as Allah subhanaw taala has said in a hadith codici, that I
have given you my servants, my slaves, seven ayat, three of which
are for me, one is between me and my slave, and the three ideas are
for my slave. So now we come to the part of Al Fatiha, which he
says is for his abd
the one that is between him and his up this year cannot Budo only
You we worship where II can Stein only You we ask for help.
So after coming to this point, the servant the slave of Allah says is
then a Serato Mustafi
they know last Serato stoking.
So if you look at this whole Fatiha here, we are taught by
Allah subhanaw taala himself, the divinely inspired and the most
virtuous, step by step protocol of asking Allah subhanaw taala which
is, first we begin by praising Him,
then expressing our servitude, our humility, our need to him. And
then we ask him in the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam also taught
us to send salah, and salam upon him, after the 100 after praising
Allah subhanaw taala. So if we look and maybe perhaps at the end
of the session, we have time, we can look at some of the examples
of the idea that the has the supplications of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam, and look at this format being played out in
his words.
The Prophet sallallaahu Salam once saw a person making lots of Bas
and then he said, but she did not praise Allah and did not send
Salah and Salaam and the Prophet salallahu Salam and the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam said that he has made haste. He has been too
hurried in his da. If he wants his answer door answered, you should
use this format.
So there are certain when we speak about the iron, we've done this
before, it's a reminder for us for myself and also for you that there
are some additional actions that lead to acceptance or COBOL of the
DA, number one, Allah subhanaw taala does not accept the DA that
comes from a heart of color that is coffee. Therefore, it's
essential that we have the presence in the door of an
attentive heart, which is solely turned to Allah subhanaw taala
that we are sincere and earnest and persistent and asking that we
use the special six times that we mentioned of acceptance. What are
those? The time of the last third of the night the time of the
Hedgehog, the evening time between a certain sunset, the time of Adan
between Adan and EComm on the Yama Juma when the Imam from the time
the Adonis scorned
As long as the till the end of the hotbar those are all times of
acceptance of the DA and after every fourth Salah five times a
day. So every day we have these opportunities so we should use
that. Also when we're doing the QA we should have in our hearts
reverence for who we are asking to have him of Allah subhanaw taala.
And we should have fear, fear, because we are sinful people fear
that perhaps because of my sins, my dua will not be accepted, and
we should have hope in the generosity and magnanimity of
Allah subhanaw taala that he will give
and we should be in a state of humility and submissiveness. In
other words, we should express our faculty, our need, that we are
absolutely needy. And as we said before, it's best to be facing the
Qibla to be in a state of Bihar in Gulu, to raise our hands as we
said, the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam used to raise his hand
through his shoulder height and sometimes even so high that the
underground the white of the underarms could be seen, asking
ALLAH because ALLAH subhanaw taala feels higher from returning these
hands that are turned to him empty.
Also part of the DUA in the beginning is to seek forgiveness
from Allah subhanaw taala. So praising Allah subhanaw taala
doing Salah and surround the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam,
and certain the eyes of seeking forgiveness because it is our
sinfulness that prevents the door also from being accepted. So we
ask Allah subhanaw taala for forgiveness, such as robbing other
Lebanon for sinner or LM to fill in our Tarhana Lana Coonan mineral
Hosni lai lai Landis of Hanukkah, in your countrymen of aalameen. Or
along those lines, though seeking for forgiveness.
Similarly, when we request we should request like a person who
is pleading who is needy, who is poor. And Allah subhanaw taala
taught us in Surah Fatiha to begin by calling him by his names,
especially is one of them the Great Name of Allah, which is
Allah and being sincere in our deen. It's also recommended that
when we are making special laws that before we start the DA, we
give charity ahead of time sadaqa and also to include in the in the
dog as some of the dogs of Rasulullah sallallahu addition the
mushroom vas, and that we end the DUA by saying Amin which is
essentially we'll talk about at the end of Fatiha a seed which
says yeah Allah accept my God.
So now we come to a dental Serato Mr. P. Now we are asking Allah
subhanaw taala we said II kind of stuff in only you we ask. And we
said we are last one has left it blank. In other words, it's left
open. So what are some of the things that we ask our Rob? What
are our needs? And then what is the greatest need we have? So we
ask Allah subhanaw taala for risk. We asked him for life. We asked
him for good health. We asked him for time we asked him for
provisions to live like food and drink and air and clothes and
shelter. We asked him for family or social needs. We asked him for
peace and security. We asked him for honor and respect we asked him
for wealth and position. We ask him for love we ask him for
respect we ask him for emotional support for companionship, all of
which are valid, good and halal to ask Allah subhanaw taala and we
should
but what is the best thing we can ask for? And that is what colossal
Allah teaches us here and why is it in US Surat Al was talking in
the beginning of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala has told us ask
guide us to an on the straight path. So he Daya is our greatest
need and Allah subhanaw taala has put it right in front of every
other need.
So when we say Idina, which means it's a collective asking guide us
know Huda means right guidance and in the religious context, it means
to lead someone to the right way to guide us to follow the right
revealed heavenly religion and Islam.
What Allah subhanaw taala gave to the prophets and messengers as a
way of life. So that is what we are asking Allah subhanaw taala
for is dinner is dinner a Serato Mr. King so
What is this guidance? What is this hedaya There are generally
two levels of or categories of guidance. One is a general
guidance, where a path is clarified and a direction is
given. So to give proper direction to show this is the direction to
clarify it to remove confusion, regardless of whether the person
who is asking walks or traverses this path or not. So, that's one
form of guidance which is General hedaya. That this is the way to
get to this destination. And this form of hedaya was the job of the
Gambia the prophets and messengers of Allah subhanaw taala. That's
why for Rasul Allah salAllahu Salam, Allah subhanaw taala says
in the Quran, what in NACA letter de la Serato, Mr. Kane, and surely
you are Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam indeed again tacky of
lamb Lavazza kid, guide you are guiding mankind to the straight
path, there is a dark kid a stress by saying inner and let daddy so
Allah subhanaw taala is confirming that the patch to which the
Prophet salallahu alayhi wa salam. So you're the now Hamid is asking
is is is guiding is the Serato Mr. Team the right path, the straight
path. So, this is the job of the NBN. Now, whether the person who
listens, chooses, accepts that path or works is not in the realm
of the NBN
because that is a special guidance, which comes from Allah
alone.
By His grace, He makes a person to take the path of truth. And Allah
subhanaw taala moves the person forward with a forward momentum
through the unknown towards a desired destination towards the
objective. And it is in this regard Allah subhanaw taala says
in the Quran, again to the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam starting
the same way in Mecca lotta demon bapta wala Qin Allah yesterday my
Nisha, but what Allah mu Bilbo today, so sometimes people get
confused in one place, it says that you guide and here he says
you do not guide so there is no confusion there is no
contradiction. What is mentioned here is that Allah is the only one
not the prophet who can make people take that path or walk that
path. The Prophet said Allah and Islam can only show the path. So,
Allah Subhana Allah says here, you surely cannot guide in this way in
the special way, whom you love, or prophet summoned by this and I
mean that applies even to people he loves, such as his beloved
uncle Abu Talib, but it is Allah who guides whoever He wills and he
knows best those who are guided.
So, this is the active guidance
to show the path that this is it to accept that make that column
accept that this is a path and to be motivated and decide to take
the path to walk the path and to continue on the path with st karma
and this is only by the will of Allah subhanaw taala.
Now, there are some grammatical nuances in this because normally
in Arabic when you put a verb
if then for example, there is a particle that comes which is
either Illa or li for example, this ayah could have been Idina
illustrata, Mr. Paine which would mean guide us
to reach a goal
or it could be any dinner list Serato monster thing show us the
path. But Allah Swatara does not use Allah does not use Lee, but
directly says anything a Serato stopping anything else Serato he
eliminates the particle because by eliminating the particle it
includes both that we are asking you Allah not only show us the
right path, but make us walk that path to reach our goal.
Now this concept of Buddha or guidance is mentioned almost like
79 times in the Quran in various forms, it is 237 times hedaya Or
its derivative is mentioned such as Allah subhanaw taala says Amaya
ye Deikun feed feed automatic battery will.
Who ye D Kim who guides you through the multitudes of Da
Darkness of the licensee.
Allah subhanaw taala says, or shuru leadin of Avila mu as Raja
whom Womack Anu Yabu Doom Yakubu Duna mean Duni lie,
five Doom Illustra till Jehane Allah subhanaw taala says, are
shown Latina that we will gather those who do injustice and their
spouses and all that they worship besides Allah Amin Dooney Allah
for her do home because these are those who lead Alas, rotten Jiang
Jehane. So hedaya can be to Jana also.
So this word hedaya is used in different terms. The word is
denied is only used twice in the Quran once in Surah Fatiha and
once in Surah, Assad when thou della Salaam is gestured by
sending two angels right into his palace, and the angels come to him
as to disputants about Sheep 99 Sheep and one one sheep. And then
they say to him Well Athina Lhasa is sought guide us to the right
way. So this dinner is only used twice in the Quran. The word
Muqtada or edited the means to recognize guidance. Now when we
talk about to understand concepts, Allah subhanaw taala frequently
gives the opposite so the opposite of Buddha remember is Bala Allah
or dal dolla misguidance.
So in essence would our means to uphold in our religious context
the the articles of faith the Archon Eman Allah subhanaw taala
says the yesterday mania sha Allah Surah illustrata Musa King, He
guides whom He wills to the Serato Mustafi. Now interestingly
Hadiya which is a gift is from the same route as Huda.
So Hadiya is is a valuable gift now what is a more valuable gift
that unlock can give anyone
then hedaya to set out, okay. So this is a gift that Allah gives
him idea means something that's given special, freely to favor
honor someone.
So, when we talk about hedaya In this context, it is a dough feed
from Allah subhanaw taala that makes us wanting and desiring and
looking for the truth because there are many people who couldn't
care.
But this is it gives a person a desire in the heart, I want to
know the truth. I want to be on the truth. And then that person
asks Allah so
then if there is sincerity, Allah subhanaw taala gives guide shows
the path and then if this person recognizes that path, accepts the
path and walks about, then Allah subhanaw taala gives them it's
common to persist till the destination is reached. So a
dinner syrup Surat word Surat, as we say path is literally a paved
path, which means very clearly, it's a path, which is meant for
traveling to a specific destination. That's what is meant.
And in the Arabic language, it frequently is the straightest and
shortest way, which is free of obstacles, which is free of twists
and turns, that leads to an intended goal or objective. And
it's also Serato is not a narrow path. It's wide enough to
accommodate everyone that has walking on it. And it is also
implied that on a path such as this, there are posted signs to
show that this is the right path like when we do hiking, there are
trail markers that yes, you are on the right trail. So Allah subhanaw
taala has put markers on the Serato Mr. Team, which confirm as
people go along, that they are on the right path they've not gone
astray.
Now here Allah subhanaw taala has not just said Surah, which is
indefinite, he has called it a spirit, which is the act acts as a
definitive article. In other words, we are asking you Allah
guide us to the path, the most deserving and specific, not just
any path, a path that belongs to Allah that leads to him the path
of the messengers and prophets and the path of the dwellers of Jana.
So, Allah Swanton has used Surat in many different places in the
Quran, at least 45 of them and sometimes he has qualified it as
Serato Allah for Serato Allah
The Surat the path of Allah serata Arabic the path of your Lord
Saraswathi my path also Allah subhanaw taala has used it surat
al Jehane a path to Jannah also the word Surat is used for the
path in the Accra which goes over the Jahannam the bridge that is
also mentioned as a Surat now, whoever is guided in this life to
the Serato Mr. Kane and firmly holds on to it and takes that
path. Inshallah, by the mercy of Allah will be guided on the spirit
across the bridge in the across the bridge over Jana. So this is
the path of the prophets that we are asking for Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam Spatt, Allah subhanaw taala says we're in
Nikka letter the room illustrata In Mustafi. And certainly you are
Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam call them to the straight path. So
Allah Subhana Allah has said that what Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi
salam is calling to is the Serato Mr. Payne and Allah Samantha has
also mentioned this rattle was talking in reference to say you're
gonna Ibrahim alayhis salam and say it now Elisa Elisa.
Now almost a pain. Most of the team comes from karma, karma or pm
karma means to rise to stand to be erect and straight with integrity,
freedom from crookedness. So that's why when he said pm was to
stand up right like with the am pm will lay on him is the person
who's standing straight karma to stand still, as Allah mentioned,
about salah camo, camo masala and when we use the word similarly RK
mo Salah is also from the same root meaning establish. And piano,
which is the normal piano is also from the same root after
resurrection, we will be standing. Now most of the beam itself means
something that is direct.
Taking one straight in the right direction to the desired point
without any obstructions, obstacles or crookedness. So the
motives on this path have to be correct. The statements we make on
this path have to be correct. The actions that we take on this path
have to all be adhering to the path of goodness which is
upholding the justice and truth under all circumstances because
Allah subhanaw taala will test us on this path. So the word Serato
Mr. Prem in the Quran is mentioned 28 times as affirmation
confirmation of the right belief the Akita beings, the path Allah
subhanaw taala has called it as the path of the rightly guided the
path of those who Allah has favored on whom it's in the name
of Allah is Allah subhanaw taala says, one minute Allah or soon,
Willa, aka Molina, and I'm Allahu alayhi Mina nabina was to the pain
our shahada, it was solid pain, but hashanah will acre feet.
Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will then that person is
among those whom Allah has NEMA has come Anam Mala and I'm Darlene
and I'm Allahu Allah. Allah is now Mr. Lemon. And what is the example
the prototypes of these
Ambia Sadiq Shuhada Salah Hain the prophets and messengers, the
Siddiq, the truthful, the martyrs and the righteous. So in summary
Serato Mr. Payne and we should reflect on this because when we
ask we should know what we're asking for Serato Mr. Kim is the
path of Allah, which is defined which he defined on the tongues of
His messengers. Complete completed on the tongue of say you're gonna
Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam to lead mankind to him, Azerbaijan,
the path of obedience of Allah and His Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
it is to single out Allah subhanaw taala alone in his worship, and to
single out Rasul Allah Subhan Allah Allah Salla alone for
obedience and following, which essentially is La ilaha illAllah
Muhammadan rasul Allah, that's what the path of Serato Mr.
Payment and as we said before, it is the shortest distance to
eternal salvation, the success of the dunya and ultimate success of
the Afra and it is the only way that Allah acts
hips. The only way that he specified he commanded he
commended and displeased with and it is only one path just in case
people think there are more than one path. It is in the singular
spirit. It's not in plural. Allah subhanaw taala says about this
because there are people who think they're taking alternative paths
to that destination unless one of them says Well, another sorority
Mr. keema foot Aveiro,
what that means is and indeed this is my straight path. So follow it.
Wallet, turbos, subarna Fattah Farah Kabir coma answer Bailey,
and do not follow the packs several different paths
because they will make you separate from this spat from his
sebe Li from his spat. There. LUCAM was circled. This is what He
has commanded you be La La Quinta tacos so that you may attend.
And so that's the general Sinatra, Mr. King, and the Salaf. The
companions and the early predecessors defined it in many
different ways. They're called Serato. Mr. Kane, as the book of
Allah Kitab Allah, of course, if you look at it, that's what it is.
They called it. The religion of Islam. That's what it is. They
call it the religion of Allah, they call it the path of Rasul
Allah, they call it the path of his, his whole alpha, they call it
the path to Paradise, they call it the path to truth, which is all
saying the same thing that we have said.
So in this regard, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam, once he
drew a straight line.
And then he
described that there is a straight path on each side, there are two
walls.
And in the walls, there are doorways on each side, and there
are curtains over the doorways as you go along.
He says that the example the parable of this is that this is
the straight road, this is rotten, Mr. Payne in from the other end of
the road, you are starting here, there is a caller who's telling
you come straight, do not remove the curtain, do not look into
those doors on the side, because you will be led astray.
And as the person goes, and if he is tempted, He thinks, let me see,
let me open this curtain and see what's on the side. There is a
voice from above, who says if you open this, you will lose your way.
And that he said is the voice that Allah has given in the hearts of
the believers, which would be the voice of the Knutsen movement in,
in the this the good part of our mouths that warns us what we call
an English conscience, don't do it.
So he told us walk this path, don't look at what other
alternatives there are. Another example he gave some Allah Allah
Salam, he drew a LAN line in the sand. And he says this is how does
karate This is my way. And then on the sides, he drew some other
lands and he said these are other suitable
and whoever takes any of these, at the end of each of these, there is
a devil mache pan that is inviting. In other words, you're
going to end up in Jannah there is only one path.
Abdullah Abdullah, even a Mossad Radi Allahu Anhu was asked about
this hadith and he, you know, they said,
said Ya, Allah, Abba, Abdul Rahman. Tell us about this line
that the Prophet salallahu Salam Drew, and he said, that Rasul
Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam left us at the beginning of the path.
If we stay on this path, the other end of this line is in Jana.
And whoever takes another path, the sidelines
will lose Jannah and will be destroyed.
So when we asked for Serato Mr. Team, we ask Allah subhanaw taala
to keep us on this path to the very end to the very end, because
we can never be too confident that I'm guided because we don't know
which way we are going to end. You know, you know, the mother of my
chef in Morocco, who was in her late 80s All
was asked for one bar.
She says Make dua, that my end is unfair. So I always make that
dollar for her. She wants to end on fair she is not confident of
everything and she is a very pious lady. I want my end to be fair
because even in the end, people can fall by the wayside.
Including the great Imam had been humbled on his deathbed. In the
pangs of gets Sakura to note, he would sometimes come regained
consciousness and said, Not yet. Not yet. So his son Abdullah is at
his bedside, he says,
Yeah, Alberty Are you afraid of death? You're saying Not yet.
He said, you know, where your mother lose you. I'm not afraid of
that. But Iblees keeps coming to me and saying Ya mad you have
escaped from my clutches. And I tell him not yet, because my row
hasn't yet left me. So even till the last moment he was concerned.
And we see this all the time. I'll give you an example. In the 2008
Beijing Olympics, there was the hurdles event for the women in 110
meter hurdles. And there was this American star who was expected to
win and she was far above everyone else. And the race started and I
remember watching this, and she was leading everyone, and there
are 10 hurdles. And on the ninth hurdle, her spike clip the hurdle
and she lost her step. And just in the last 10 yards, she ended up
seven out of eight. Second last,
never be too confident till we pass to the
so when we say we are Aiden Estrada, Mr Pena Allah keep me
till your angel of death comes to me that I do not deviate from
this.
The next higher Surat Allah Lavina and Namta Elaine, and we mentioned
a little bit about it. Right in Mel do VR lay him while a ball
Lin. Say the path of those on whom you have restored your blessings,
your favor your grace, and now I'm dialing in the previous IRSA and
I'm Allah name. Here, Ananda, what you have bestowed Your grace on.
Why real mouth do not those who have earned wrath and anger while
at Bali, not those who have gone astray. LaLana
so Anantha means your grace, your favor your blessing. In Quranic
usage, the word Nana are blessing. all blessings flow from a loss of
Allah Tala who's the source of all blessings.
Because he is money and that is his name.
Only good comes from it. Only good comes from Allah.
In a broader sense, when we talk about Allah's namah it includes
every favor every grace blessing that he has bestowed. And also it
includes shielding us from harm protecting us. So all the
spiritual and material benefits that a man or a woman experiences
in this life and in the next, including the countless blessings
which Allah subhanaw taala says, endowed diameter lie lateral so if
you want if you try to compute to count my blessings, you would
never be able to count them all of those countless that we know and
that we don't know that he showered upon his creation
all of those are from him. And among His most special blessings
is the sending of the messengers those Ruslan with Revelation with
Rahim with guidance Ruda and with warning as Nabil and the teachings
the Sunnah as well as namah of Allah is relieved from trials such
as we are going through this trial of COVID Inshallah, relief will
come soon.
So with all being you know, showered with all of these
blessings, what should be our response, response of true
gratitude of sugar? And how do we show sugar not just by the tongue,
but obedience by obedience,
obeying Allah subhanaw taala, obeying His Messenger, and yet
Allah subhanaw taala says when Allah bestows His blessings on
people, there are some who turn away by what they earn
given it makes them feel independent makes them feel, Raina
you know, I am not in need of anyone. So remember all of these
are blessings of Allah subhanaw taala so Allah subhanaw taala has
specified that Serato Mr. Kim is the one the path that was given as
a special blessing as a grace to the people who Allah is pleased
and blessed with viral Mamadou ma doom. Hadassah means rat was
anger, that is aroused by displeasure. A person has done
something to displease Allah subhanaw taala to the extent that
the Most Merciful intends to punish that person
means this person has tested the limits of Allah's mercy and wants
to go beyond that that Allah's punishment comes because Allah is
Rafa Rahim we should be the new carbon. So we should always keep
that in mind.
So this roundup of Allah subhanaw taala is mentioned in the Quran in
In six different contexts. One Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned
his garden when there is a deliberate violation of the
contract with all law such as taking earlier besides him
or what people who have committed shirk become favoring them over
the believers Allah Samantha has condemned it he says mon Shara mon
Shara have built gouffre southern for Alleyn wonderboom min Allah
mon Shara Bilco for whoever has opened that chest to cover.
on them is Nevada with
us entertained kufr Allah subhanaw taala whether Allah subhanaw taala
says yeah, you have ladina Ave Lata well lo common radebaugh
Allahu Eilene or you who have believed, turn not in friendship
up with a ball to upon. Don't Don't turn in friendship to those
don't befriend people on whom is the verb of ALLAH SubhanA.
Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned this reduc when he has mentioned
that someone deliberately kills a believer.
I'm Megan
cotton for pattern. Cotton brings Allah SCADA when Allah subhanaw
taala is mentioned is Radha when previous nations have disobeyed
Him and they have patrulla lambier They have slayed their prophets.
They have denied his signs and committed aggression. And this has
happened This is prototype of some of the children of Bani Israel,
that the disobeyed the prophets they killed the prophets they
rejected the truth. That's why they were called Mahboob Allah
subhanaw taala as mentioned his badab in against people who
abandon the battlefield who run away
desert, the, the,
the the the, against the disbelievers when they're
fighting. Allah subhanaw taala has mentioned his garden with
excessive consumption and that's important for us because we live
in a consumer capitalistic society lot of wastage, lot of possessions
and wastage of provisions, wasting water wasting food, throwing food,
you know, waste waste waste, Allah has mentioned this, that is rather
busy on the people who do that. Similarly, the random is also
brought on in that dispute between the husband and wife about infant
mortality, that a person is saying that
I,
my wife committed infidelity, she's saying know that each one
has to take an oath and then say, if I am a liar, let the Wrath of
Allah be upon me. So these are some of the the references
dealing with verbal for last month and it's important for us to know
that because we want to stay far away from any of those. The word
model Dube appears only once in the whole Quran, and which is here
in Surah Fatiha This is the object of anger. And this specifically
the Prophet sallallahu Sallam told us had to do with as an example as
a prototype and anyone else who does that subsequently, the
children of Israel, who were given the Scripture and turned away from
it denied the Hyatts of Allah subhanaw taala and killed the
prophets Allah subhanaw taala says they were mo do so remember that.
Now the other category that we ask Allah subhanaw taala we don't want
to be among them is the Bollin Barnala as we said, is the
opposite of Houda Dolla dolla means to string
A to divert to get misguided from the right way to the misguided
from the goal. But Allah also means to disappear to disintegrate
become nothing because it's also us that they will say, you know
when we have
done a lot in the in the UK we have disintegrated in the earth
will we be brought back?
This is Allah subhanaw taala has used it in that way. So, just
remember that it is the opposite of guidance. So when we ask for
guidance, we are saying we don't want to be among the misguided and
this Delilah has been mentioned about 191 times in the Quran to do
with deviation and innovation and misguidance Okay Paul Allah as
well as innovation what we call the bidder, specially the Allah
has been mentioned in reference to worshiping other than Allah.
Sometimes Allah subhanaw taala has qualified the Delilah is by saying
the law alone may have been clear misguidance the law rule buried
they have strayed far away from the past that's mentioned 13 times
a lot and mobian has mentioned 20 times, ball lien those who have
fallen into error in their beliefs, deviating from the
straight path. Now also another nuance of the Quranic expression,
that when Allah subhanaw taala talks about the namah there are
three he mentioned about the people of namah, the people Mark
Dube and the Bollin three people I mentioned, one which is good too
which are bad. So the one that is good and Allah subhanaw taala as
mentioned them in the second person and Namta, on whom Your
graces but those who are on the wrong are not mentioned is your it
is those who have wrapped on their mentioned in the third person.
Right, and who went astray. This is the adverb of the Quran that
anything that happens that's wrong. It's not directly
attributed to Allah subhanaw taala although you may say everything is
under his control. This example is also in when we read on Friday. So
your Surah calf, where Heather Elisa Lam says that I slayed that
child and I broke the ship. But for the other one, he says Allah
will good for those orphans. So this is the adult we should also
respect and observe when we mentioned
these things.
So Allah subhanaw taala has taught us to ask for hidayah and there is
a wisdom that he has clarified the hedaya by mentioning the opposites
of hedaya. So Allah subhanaw taala makes it clear by its telling us
that you ask for hidayah and you ask protection from the Lala and
from being Malou. So as serious seekers of the right path, we need
to not only know the way of the people of grace and favor and
EMTALA him, but we also need to know the characteristics of the
people of rat, the mouth Dube,
the people who repeatedly violated the covenant with Allah subhanaw
taala. They knew the truth and rejected it deliberately. And they
came with falsehood. They're called McDo because they were
given the truth. Similarly,
we ask to be protected from
balling from going astray and the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam
said these are those Christians who ascribe to Allah Subhana Allah
and His messenger, what Allah did not authorize. They are ignorant,
they don't have the knowledge, not knowing the truth and so they are
misguided. So it's important for us to study the history lessons
from previous nations and to derive lessons That's why last
one, Allah says many places in the Quran, for example, he says, we'll
see roofing or the throw Munduruku for Canada October to look at the
mean, traveled through the earth. And see, what was the end of those
who denied.
Hardy Inhotim or the Allah one as the Prophet sallallaahu Salam who
are the who are the, the the mauto and the prophets of Allah Islam
said these are the Bani Israel who violated all of these covenants
and slay the prophets. And when he was asked who are the DAR Lu? He
said, These are the Christian nations who took besides Allah,
others to worship
so for the bar alone, Allah subhanaw taala says the best
All beloved Durban Allah vada. So they have drawn on themselves rats
upon rat means the kept violating kept violating and we have that
even when Musa alayhis salam was present, they started worshipping
a calf after seeing all the miracles and being saved, being
brought across the sea. That's what they did within 40 days.
And Allah subhanaw taala says about the other, the dollar loan
he says kuliah al Kitab Allah WVD nickel rare and healthy while at
the bill, were a common cause the looming problem, but what are the
Lucca theorem? What the answer is subby say to them or Muhammad
salallahu Alaihe Salam, O people of scriptures. Exceed not the
limit in your religion by believing in something other than
the truth. Don't exceed don't make your messengers as divine as gods
are partners with God or son of God, and do not follow the vain
desires of people who went astray in the time has gone by Allah
subhanaw taala say and who misled many, how many people were misled
by this and they stray the last one on Tala says what Don Lu
unserer is severe and they themselves straight from the right
path.
ultimate protection is from Allah subhanaw taala. Remember, whoever
Allah is one Allah guides, none can lead astray and whom ever
Allah subhanaw taala leaves a stray, non kin guide. And we hear
this in every Juma huzzah from the football of Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi salam, Allah subhanaw taala also mentioned this in the Quran
when he says we may Yeah, the lung for Marlo minimal day and
whosoever Allah guides, none can lead astray and Allah subhanaw
taala says, well, may you live for lentigines Hello William was
Shiva, but whoever he leaves to stray, you will never find for
them a guiding mentor a friend or a guide.
So following Allah subhanaw taala is revealed guidance protects
against deviation and misguidance. And then in the end, the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam said that after you finish Fatiha, a short
pause, and then say, I mean, why the pause so that there is no
confusion that people might think me is part of that. Yeah. So we
say well, not ball lean
me to differentiate it that I mean is not part of the Quran, not part
of the recitation. And what does that mean mean? We mentioned this
briefly last time. We are asking Allah subhanaw taala to respond to
our supplication to give us what we ask Ali Karim Allah azza wa jal
Radi Allahu Allah said, Me is the seal of the Lord of the Worlds it
is with me that his slaves seal their glass there supplications so
beautiful.
Abu Musa al actually wrote the Alonso said that the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam protests that when we were praying in JAMA,
he said, straighten the rose.
Have one of you lead? When he says that we said that we're after the
Imam when he finishes Fertitta, say Amin,
and Allah will respond to you. And there's a Hadith of the Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam, which we mentioned also last time, he said
sallallahu alayhi salam when the Imam says Amin say homie and if
you're Amin coincides with the mean of the angels who are also
saying I mean, then your smaller your minor sins are forgiven.
So that in essence is the explanation of Surah Fatiha, there
is lot more detail but inshallah this may be sufficient for most of
us. Now we'll come to some of the special qualities of Surah Al
Fattah, that in Surah Fatiha is the cure for spiritual diseases.
So there are two main sources of this diseases of the world. One is
corruption of knowledge.
When knowledge is corrupted the end we don't have the right elbow,
which leads to Delilah misguidance. So what is the cure
in the in the fattier for this corruption of knowledge that
Malala we're saying
is in us that it was stuck in guide us to the right path. The
second cause of diseases is corruption of intent that we are
trying to please other like our own us or
others, this leads to roundup of Allah Subhana Allah
that we deviate after knowing the religion we choose not to follow
it and bring our own things into it. And what is the cure for this
we say ear canal with over a year kind of Stein, we only worship you
ya Allah we are not trying to impress and go by other people.
There is curing in in Surah Fatiha for RIA or ostentation or show.
How do we suppress Ria, by
ear canal will do You alone we worship we are not here to impress
anyone else. There is a cure in this for Kimbrough for arrogance,
how do we suppress that by saying, Yeah, canister hain? In other
words, we are needy, we ask you for help. How can we be arrogant
we are asking for help.
There is a cure for bodily illness as we know, when a person gets
ill. And we have the hadith of Pablo, Syed and Kadri. When we
mentioned that, when they were traveling and in from a, from a
village camp, a woman came running that our leader has been stung by
a scorpion or a snake and he went and he recited Fatiha, and he was
cured. And they were given a gift and when they came back to
Rasulullah sallallahu sallam, he said how did you know Yeah, but
aside that there was a Rokia in this confirming that there was
there is a cure in it. Now, how do we do that? Just reciting Surah
Fatiha there is no clear guidance on it for specific for Surah
fatsia but reciting Surah Fatiha reciting Surah Fatiha and blowing
reciting Surah Fatiha as he used to do salatu salam for the Palau
the bearable for la palabra you could do that and for yourself,
putting your hand on someone and doing it. Some people have recited
and blow it on water and give it that water to drink if that person
is not there. So there are many methods that have been used.
I can look into it. I don't have a specific narration about this from
Rasulullah sallallahu Listen, but obviously, the scholars have used
all of this.
Now as we said Surah Fatiha is Amal Qur'an, the mother of the
Quran and it's been called that because it comprises the summary
meaning of the entire plan. And I want to just go over those 10
points of how that works. Number one is the affirmation of Takeda
of Allah subhanaw taala in all of its categories Surah Fatiha her
confirms and affirms that failed to create a ruble via the lordship
of Allah subhanaw taala how Rob bull I mean, it confirms the head
of Oulu here are Gu the the lead of Allah being the only one worthy
of worship How by saying, II canal will do
it confirms the decayed of a smell was SIFAT of His names and
attributes by saying Alhamdulillah he or a bill Alamy Alhamdulillah
when we say Lilla praising Allah, Allah comprises all of his names
and attributes and then mentioning Arash mana Rahim and Malik and so
on so forth. Number two Surah Fatiha teaches us as part of our
deen how to praise to thank to glorify Allah subhanaw taala by
mentioning his names and attributes, it teaches us about
his mercy his Rama or Mannerheim it teaches us about his justice,
Maliki or midday. It teaches us that there is a day of judgment
that there is hisab that there is Sousa and Jazza there is
recompense and that is based on perfect justice. It teaches us it
encourages us to perform righteous deeds to be among the people who
are an anti lame and to stay away from sins and to ask for guidance.
It teaches us to ask Allah alone not to turn to anyone else. Er can
assign. It teaches us to humble ourselves that we ask Allah with
humility, and that we worship Him alone, and that we put our trust
telecoil in a lonely that I will only ask Allah and it's only Allah
who will grant it teaches us to ask Allah subhanaw taala
continuously for guidance to the straight path 17 times a day more
than that every single day a Muslim asks a loss of Hannah Tala
teaches us keep asking for this. Keep asking for Hidayat to the end
as we describe. It teaches us that there were previous nations
describes them in the past some of
wench became de lune went astray, some of whom were Mavado on whom
Allah's punishment came, don't be like them, learn from their
mistakes, learn and don't fall into the same traps, and don't
fall into the same deviations. It teaches us to aspire for the
company of the righteous cambia we don't have any more. But the
Cydia, the truthful people, the martyrs, the Shuhada shahada, who
have given their lives in the shahada, who are shaheed of the
head who witnessed the terrain of Allah who are on the topic of
Allah smile, be in the company of the righteous.
The Quran teaches us that the the fatwa teaches there is nothing in
the Quran that will encourage misguidance or innovation. Though
Fatiha counters every innovation, every bidder and stresses, that
there is an absolute need for a messenger, we are asking for
hedaya and the hedaya has to be shown to us by a messenger how to
lead this life, the Serato Mr. team how to walk this path, and
that there is an absolute necessity of following him till
our last breath, and not to take the path of others of deviation.
No matter how attractive or logical they may appear to be. So
Surah Fatiha is a dua
that Allah teaches us to attain right guidance in the dunya and
for success in the afterlife.
Now you may ask, we are already believers we are on the right
guidance. Why should we supplicate as dua for guidance. So many times
every day, we are already believers in guidance. While we
are asking, because we need the details of the guidance, we need
to learn everything that Rasulullah sallallahu sung came
in, and we need to keep our hearts from deviating we need to keep
from opening those doors and looking in those curtains and
looking at other paths. As Allah subhanaw taala says in the Quran,
there have been a lot to the point Obernai by data data means hearts
can still deviate after either has been given. Wala don't allow my
heart to deviate once you have given me Daya. So we asked him to
stratums 31 of the Salah from the early generation said this about
certain was stopping what we asked for. He said follow the path of
truth and do not despair. Because of the few who traverse it. You
may find only few people who are following it.
And be aware of the path of misguidance of Allah Allah and do
not be deceived by the many who are traversing it.
Because remember, the majority of people are heading to Jannah and a
destined for it. As the prophets of Allah listen tells us so don't
worry about what the majority is doing.
Be among the few, the proud, the guided
the among the people of Al Fatiha be among the people of the Quran.
Ya Allah open our hearts to the Quran by the Quran for you, by
you. Yeah hi there Madeline yamasa has Celine ya hammerlock Amin.
Allah. Allahu Mustapha alumina. Leakey. Tadek be kita avec laka
what Baker, Yara Bellamy, I mean your ability. So that concludes
our discussion of Surah Fatiha and we will now open this up for
questions and answers in Shell
