Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

00:00:06 --> 00:00:13

Smilla en hamdu lillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah one alihi

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

wa sahbihi woman Allah.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:23

Allah mactac My Samiha Illumina led Crick, along Marina Kakaako

00:00:23 --> 00:00:27

McKnight via oriental Bouchy la botlane also clashed in Alba.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:34

Allama John lamina Latina testimonial cola for Santa

00:00:36 --> 00:00:42

we praise and glorify Allah subhanaw taala as is deserving His

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

divine glory and majesty, and we send

00:00:47 --> 00:00:53

the best of Salah and salam, on our beloved, the beloved of Allah

00:00:54 --> 00:00:59

Habibollah or sort of allah sallallahu alayhi wa aalihi wa

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

salam.

00:01:01 --> 00:01:06

And we ask Allah subhanaw taala we plead to Allah subhanaw taala to

00:01:07 --> 00:01:13

open our hearts to his remembrance, to His words, to

00:01:13 --> 00:01:17

understanding to guidance, to obedience

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

to effortless and seductive truthfulness.

00:01:24 --> 00:01:24

And

00:01:26 --> 00:01:29

may Allah subhanaw taala help us to internalize what we learn

00:01:29 --> 00:01:35

together of his words, and to put them in action, because as we keep

00:01:35 --> 00:01:40

reminding each other always that it is not sufficient to know.

00:01:41 --> 00:01:46

It is essential to know. But the requirement is to act on what we

00:01:46 --> 00:01:51

know, action, am I not just to help our knowledge?

00:01:52 --> 00:01:56

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth, the ultimate truth

00:01:56 --> 00:02:00

is the Quran as Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said as

00:02:00 --> 00:02:04

the curriculum, the most truthful of of words is kitab. And

00:02:05 --> 00:02:10

so we ask Allah subhanaw taala to show us truth as the truth and

00:02:10 --> 00:02:15

help us to follow it in the best possible way that we can and to

00:02:15 --> 00:02:20

show us battle to show us falsehood as falsehood and to keep

00:02:20 --> 00:02:25

away from it. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us to do

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27

the best we can at all times.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

So today, we

00:02:32 --> 00:02:37

are going to be studying together in sha Allah surah number 92 which

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39

is a late

00:02:40 --> 00:02:48

one day, this is in Sahih Bukhari Sayidina. Ali are the Alon Karim

00:02:48 --> 00:02:52

Allah who was reports that rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam was

00:02:52 --> 00:02:59

with us in genital Bucky Arpad in the cemetery and Rasul allah

00:02:59 --> 00:03:02

sallallahu sallam said the following

00:03:05 --> 00:03:10

You said ma'am, income mean, I hadn't Illa work at katiba Mikado

00:03:10 --> 00:03:17

who Minal Jana Mikado who Manana. You said there is no one among

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21

you, except that his place has already been written.

00:03:23 --> 00:03:27

Either a seat a place in paradise or a seat in Jeddah.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:30

It's already been written.

00:03:31 --> 00:03:36

So, the Sahaba, who were with him said, Yasser Allah, should we just

00:03:36 --> 00:03:40

depend on this? In other words, then we don't need to do anything

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44

else. So Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam said,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49

yeah, man, you know, do actions.

00:03:52 --> 00:03:59

For colon Musa urine, Lima Haleakala because everyone will

00:03:59 --> 00:04:04

have made easy for him those deeds that lead to what was written for

00:04:04 --> 00:04:09

him by the Paradise was written for him, then the ways of getting

00:04:09 --> 00:04:13

to Paradise will be made easy for him. And if Jana was written for a

00:04:13 --> 00:04:17

person, that would be those actions will be made easy for him.

00:04:18 --> 00:04:23

There are other narrations of our Casa de for the Alon asking

00:04:23 --> 00:04:26

Rasulullah Salallahu Salam you said, O Messenger of Allah

00:04:26 --> 00:04:31

sallallahu alayhi salam, do we act according to what has already been

00:04:31 --> 00:04:36

decided by Allah subhanaw taala? Or is the matter up to us and then

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

the results come and Rasulullah salAllahu alayhi salam said

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

Indeed, it is according to what has already been decided. So when

00:04:42 --> 00:04:46

Allah subhanaw taala in his wisdom, created each one of us he

00:04:46 --> 00:04:51

had already assigned in another narration Rasulullah sallallahu

00:04:51 --> 00:04:56

listen tells us when the angels come that you know for months to

00:04:57 --> 00:04:59

put the roof or breathe

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

The road into the fetus in the womb, certain things are written,

00:05:03 --> 00:05:07

but there is going to be you know, where his destination is going to

00:05:07 --> 00:05:12

be, whether he is going to be happy and sad and distressed and

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

all of the miserable life, all of those things are already written

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

for him. So Allah subhanaw taala has written those things based on

00:05:21 --> 00:05:23

His foreknowledge of each individual.

00:05:24 --> 00:05:30

So, each one of us already has a place assigned, except we don't

00:05:30 --> 00:05:36

know. Now how can we get a hint of it, if we find if you find that

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

Allah subhanaw taala is opening up

00:05:39 --> 00:05:44

channels of goodness to do good things. One after the other, more

00:05:44 --> 00:05:47

and more more people appealing for funds, more people looking for

00:05:47 --> 00:05:51

help from you more people, you know, doing making you do good

00:05:51 --> 00:05:54

deeds, giving you Allah subhanaw taala giving you companionship of

00:05:54 --> 00:05:57

good people, finding a good teachers, finding your good

00:05:57 --> 00:05:59

companions, finding your good spouse,

00:06:00 --> 00:06:04

supplying them for you not finding that means Allah subhanaw taala

00:06:04 --> 00:06:10

is, in turn has intended her for you, this is a general, we also

00:06:10 --> 00:06:13

know that sometimes by our actions, things can change in the

00:06:13 --> 00:06:18

end, because we didn't know where we were going to go. So this is an

00:06:18 --> 00:06:21

indication, we should never if we feel those we shouldn't feel proud

00:06:21 --> 00:06:25

we should take every opportunity of good or sad that Pebble has

00:06:26 --> 00:06:31

every opportunity of good if Allah gives us a 5000 People ask us for

00:06:31 --> 00:06:34

the for money, and we have we should give to 5000 people and

00:06:34 --> 00:06:37

look for more because we are investing

00:06:38 --> 00:06:42

we are investing because the returns that will come are

00:06:42 --> 00:06:48

greater, much greater. Just like in in the dunya. What do we do

00:06:48 --> 00:06:52

with somebody who has some savings, they like to invest it so

00:06:52 --> 00:07:00

it grows. And generally the people who advise us, tell us dive to

00:07:00 --> 00:07:05

diversify, put some in real estate or some in cash, put some in gold,

00:07:05 --> 00:07:09

put some in stocks put in all of those diversify, so that your

00:07:09 --> 00:07:14

chances of losing it is low, and your chances of getting is more.

00:07:15 --> 00:07:20

Now if sometimes they say it will become double, or it will become

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

three or four fold. If you knew everything was going to everybody

00:07:23 --> 00:07:27

would put it like that. But those are just sometimes it happens. But

00:07:27 --> 00:07:30

here we have guaranteed return minimum what you give will be

00:07:30 --> 00:07:34

multiplied tenfold, there is nothing in the dunya where there

00:07:34 --> 00:07:40

is a guarantee of even doubling. So the smart one diversifies his

00:07:40 --> 00:07:45

ocra portfolio by doing every kind of good, of course, the fluoride

00:07:45 --> 00:07:49

first and then the no acid. I'm not satisfied, but just doing my

00:07:49 --> 00:07:53

father and my son, I want to do more nothing salah I want to do

00:07:53 --> 00:07:56

tahajjud I want to do the *, I'm not just satisfied by giving

00:07:56 --> 00:08:00

Zakah I want to give more sadaqa I want to do more and more I'm not

00:08:00 --> 00:08:04

satisfied by knowing a little bit I want to know more. I'm not I

00:08:04 --> 00:08:08

want to do every opportunity so that that's my investment and my

00:08:08 --> 00:08:13

return will be according to that. So Allah subhanaw taala is telling

00:08:13 --> 00:08:21

us that we will see and we will have ease in what we are doing.

00:08:21 --> 00:08:25

Similarly the opposite, that the person who allows won't allow to

00:08:25 --> 00:08:29

his wisdom and out of His foreknowledge has destined this

00:08:29 --> 00:08:35

person for Johanna will have all kinds of worldly things open for

00:08:35 --> 00:08:39

him, which lead to disobedience, one of which is wealth.

00:08:40 --> 00:08:45

Because wealth frequently makes people unconscious of Allah

00:08:45 --> 00:08:49

subhanaw taala frequently when you have too much what do you do? You

00:08:49 --> 00:08:55

spend it either in extravagance of buying and buying and buy, or for

00:08:55 --> 00:09:01

sure which is disliked by Allah subhanaw taala or just to hold and

00:09:01 --> 00:09:04

then it gives you the sense of arrogance I'm the wealthiest and

00:09:04 --> 00:09:08

and today the society has become like the you know, the rich and

00:09:08 --> 00:09:10

the famous and everybody's looking up to this you know who is the

00:09:10 --> 00:09:14

richest today this one is tomorrow that one. But what is it

00:09:14 --> 00:09:17

internally? What is it doing? Are they satisfied? Are they happy?

00:09:17 --> 00:09:22

Are they discontented? What is going on? So Allah subhanaw taala

00:09:22 --> 00:09:27

for the one who is heading in that right path, gives them contentment

00:09:27 --> 00:09:29

with what they have, even if they have nothing they're happy

00:09:29 --> 00:09:32

internally and they are in sukoon and they are in they have

00:09:32 --> 00:09:36

tranquility and their peace of mind they sleep well. Whereas a

00:09:36 --> 00:09:41

person may have a lot of wealth and be in complete misery.

00:09:43 --> 00:09:47

And even after they die, that it may be means of misery. We saved

00:09:47 --> 00:09:50

all of this and we see these examples. We just had an example.

00:09:50 --> 00:09:54

People live millions of dollars worth of property now the children

00:09:54 --> 00:09:58

are fighting and killing each other over it. Okay, so what did

00:09:58 --> 00:09:59

it get you

00:10:00 --> 00:10:04

So that's what we have to understand that Allah subhanaw

00:10:04 --> 00:10:04

taala saying

00:10:05 --> 00:10:09

that you have to make effort because you don't know where your

00:10:09 --> 00:10:15

end is. But if you find certain things becoming easy for you,

00:10:15 --> 00:10:19

which is goodness hamdulillah it may be a Bashara and we should

00:10:19 --> 00:10:24

also become very concerned, if we were doing good and we are doing

00:10:24 --> 00:10:29

less and less and even worse, if we are now starting to disobey

00:10:29 --> 00:10:29

Allah

00:10:30 --> 00:10:35

disobey, be missing our Salah disobey in lying, disobey and

00:10:35 --> 00:10:39

guarding our tongues, in guarding our eyes, guarding our private

00:10:39 --> 00:10:43

parts, all of those things, if we are becoming lacs with that, that

00:10:43 --> 00:10:48

may be a warning sign that I'm heading in the wrong direction

00:10:48 --> 00:10:54

mice, my sight is not where Allah subhanaw taala is pleased with

00:10:54 --> 00:10:58

with me. So now, after describing these

00:11:00 --> 00:11:05

three conditions of the of the second, Allah subhanaw taala talks

00:11:05 --> 00:11:10

about this person who whose path in the dunya has been made easy

00:11:10 --> 00:11:16

towards evil and wealth and he feels that his granny is not in

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

need of anyone self sufficient. Allah subhanaw taala says, Well,

00:11:19 --> 00:11:23

my yoga knee and Humala who either terracotta

00:11:25 --> 00:11:31

either Terada means when he is thrown down, Terada to be flung

00:11:31 --> 00:11:37

down. So this started the Mufasa rune have taken two meanings. One

00:11:37 --> 00:11:40

is debt, which means that the person has been thrown into his

00:11:41 --> 00:11:42

load into his grave.

00:11:43 --> 00:11:47

And the majority opinion is that this refers to Jen

00:11:48 --> 00:11:53

that this person reached the end of that path, which in the end

00:11:53 --> 00:11:58

after the gravel, Jen, so when this person who was denying Canada

00:11:58 --> 00:11:59

Bill Husna,

00:12:00 --> 00:12:04

who thought he was self sufficient, and all of that, most

00:12:04 --> 00:12:08

of it stemming from all the wealth that you have, and the power and

00:12:08 --> 00:12:13

connection, Allah subhanaw taala say, none of that mercy of any, it

00:12:13 --> 00:12:16

will not suffice him Malou

00:12:17 --> 00:12:22

all that he felt so comfortable with will be worth nothing, it

00:12:22 --> 00:12:26

will come to no avail. If anything, it will be questioned.

00:12:28 --> 00:12:31

And just, you know, this last week, I just heard this this

00:12:31 --> 00:12:35

morning that one of the wealthy people of this area Western Mass,

00:12:36 --> 00:12:41

died at the age of 106. And most of his stuff is being given in

00:12:41 --> 00:12:45

charity, because he's quoted as having said that I don't want to

00:12:45 --> 00:12:47

be the richest person in the graveyard.

00:12:48 --> 00:12:52

Now if we can understand that while we are alive, that's even

00:12:52 --> 00:12:56

better. Okay, because after we die, it didn't belong to us

00:12:56 --> 00:12:59

anyway, it will be divided according to what Allah said. So

00:12:59 --> 00:13:03

we have to give while we can. So Allah subhanaw taala saying that

00:13:03 --> 00:13:07

which he feels so much comfort in, that he feels so proud of that

00:13:07 --> 00:13:11

which he gives him the sense of istilah now of self sufficiency,

00:13:12 --> 00:13:15

it will count for zero, neither in the grave.

00:13:16 --> 00:13:21

Nor in Jen because it can save you in any way. There are many a

00:13:21 --> 00:13:24

hadith and ideas of the Quran, Allah subhanaw taala says a person

00:13:24 --> 00:13:30

in Jannah if he could give the whole world in gold, to ransom him

00:13:30 --> 00:13:34

out of Jannah it would not be accepted. So this wealth will come

00:13:34 --> 00:13:36

to nothing.

00:13:39 --> 00:13:42

Then Allah subhanaw taala says in NA Lena la Huda

00:13:44 --> 00:13:44

indeed

00:13:46 --> 00:13:49

on us is Houda guidance

00:13:52 --> 00:13:57

upon us is guidance. One understanding is that it is only

00:13:57 --> 00:14:01

Allah who guides it is upon us who to guide

00:14:03 --> 00:14:07

and as we know guidance is what to show the difference between right

00:14:07 --> 00:14:07

and wrong

00:14:08 --> 00:14:13

to show the difference between trade and ship, to show the

00:14:13 --> 00:14:17

difference between good luck luck and bad luck, that Allah subhanaw

00:14:17 --> 00:14:22

taala programmed in us as we have learned in previous Surah that

00:14:22 --> 00:14:27

when He created us, he programmed in us the difference between right

00:14:27 --> 00:14:28

and wrong.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:33

So we already had that level of guidance genetically. Then once we

00:14:33 --> 00:14:37

become Arkel, when you become understanding Allah subhanaw taala

00:14:37 --> 00:14:42

gives another level of guidance, which is the Quran, which is the

00:14:42 --> 00:14:46

result of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam and all previous

00:14:46 --> 00:14:49

Ambia that Allah subhanaw taala did not leave people without

00:14:49 --> 00:14:53

guidance, so that nobody can say that. So besides programming us

00:14:53 --> 00:14:57

Allah subhanaw taala says, and we send to you guidance on us, what

00:14:57 --> 00:14:59

is the guidance to show you all

00:15:00 --> 00:15:03

What is right what is wrong? To show you what Allah is pleased

00:15:03 --> 00:15:05

with? To show you what is halal, what is

00:15:07 --> 00:15:11

the second understanding of Inaya Lena Island who that means, and to

00:15:11 --> 00:15:17

us is the guidance. What does that mean? That the guidance, again is

00:15:17 --> 00:15:19

Allah subhanaw taala has

00:15:20 --> 00:15:24

per view that he's the one who gives a lay nod towards us. In

00:15:24 --> 00:15:28

other words, the guidance Allah gives, what is the goal of that I

00:15:28 --> 00:15:31

you know, when you ask for guidance, you have a goal you want

00:15:31 --> 00:15:35

to reach somewhere where do you want to reach us means Allah

00:15:35 --> 00:15:40

subhanaw taala himself is the customer sabe as he sells says

00:15:40 --> 00:15:43

elsewhere in the Quran, that Allah subhanaw taala will show us that

00:15:44 --> 00:15:48

what is it my goal is Allah subhanaw taala you can say well,

00:15:48 --> 00:15:50

my goal is Jana but ultimately what is

00:15:51 --> 00:15:56

Jana product of Allah's pleasure because we don't even read all of

00:15:56 --> 00:16:00

these things that we are supposed to do good deeds. Amell will not

00:16:00 --> 00:16:04

enter anyone into Jin as Rasulullah Salallahu Salam taught

00:16:04 --> 00:16:08

us, it it said is only the Rama of Allah subhanaw taala even for him

00:16:08 --> 00:16:13

Salah listen. So, we are entered by the Rama of Allah subhanaw

00:16:13 --> 00:16:17

taala by the what he has already destined for us, but we have to do

00:16:17 --> 00:16:20

this because it will give us different levels of Jannah.

00:16:21 --> 00:16:26

So Allah subhanaw taala says, The Ultimate what is the ultimate

00:16:26 --> 00:16:30

pleasure? ultimate pleasure in Jana is what

00:16:31 --> 00:16:35

the vision of Allah Subhana Allah, that all of Jannah with all of its

00:16:35 --> 00:16:41

infinite pleasures, will become meaningless, and will fade once a

00:16:41 --> 00:16:42

person says Allah.

00:16:45 --> 00:16:48

And as some of our scholars have said, that there is a gender in

00:16:48 --> 00:16:53

the dunya dolls, and the one who doesn't enter the gender in the

00:16:53 --> 00:16:56

dunya will not enter the gender of the Afra what is the gender of the

00:16:56 --> 00:17:01

dunya to feel that closeness to Allah subhanaw taala to feel that

00:17:01 --> 00:17:04

owns that intimacy with Allah, that awareness of Allah subhanaw

00:17:04 --> 00:17:08

taala the peace and tranquility that comes under all challenges.

00:17:09 --> 00:17:14

When we are in, in in in difficulty, we feel that newness

00:17:14 --> 00:17:19

of when we are in pleasure and plenty we feel so whether it's

00:17:19 --> 00:17:23

positive, whether it's plenty we have connection with Allah that is

00:17:23 --> 00:17:27

the anchor that we're looking for. That give removes all anxiety

00:17:27 --> 00:17:31

removes all stress removes all depression removes all of those

00:17:31 --> 00:17:35

things, which doesn't mean that you don't have emotions of sadness

00:17:35 --> 00:17:38

and happiness, all of those are okay. But the person does not get

00:17:38 --> 00:17:44

dislodged completely. Okay, because he has that anchor, Allah

00:17:44 --> 00:17:49

subhanaw taala. And that is the Jana of the dunya. If he has

00:17:49 --> 00:17:52

billions, he is still connected with Allah subhanaw taala. And

00:17:52 --> 00:17:55

that's what he is. And if it all goes, is still connected with the

00:17:55 --> 00:17:57

last one today, it doesn't matter.

00:17:58 --> 00:17:59

The person may have nothing.

00:18:01 --> 00:18:02

I was just reading the story

00:18:03 --> 00:18:08

some few days ago, about one of the people of the Morteza light

00:18:09 --> 00:18:15

who was so poor, that one day he ate mud, because he had nothing

00:18:18 --> 00:18:22

to do there have been people yet they are content with Allah

00:18:22 --> 00:18:23

subhanaw taala.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:27

Amara, the Alon, Omar, Tog Rafi Allah Han

00:18:29 --> 00:18:34

what he used to eat hard barley bread, which most people would

00:18:34 --> 00:18:37

have trouble chewing and swallowing, that's what he had.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:41

Was he content Was he happy? Was he pleased with the last one? Of

00:18:41 --> 00:18:45

course. So it is what the contentment and happiness and

00:18:45 --> 00:18:49

pleasure is what Allah gives as a taste of the contentment, pleasure

00:18:49 --> 00:18:52

and happiness of the anchor of gin.

00:18:54 --> 00:18:58

So, the guidance to that Allah subhanaw taala says in NA Lena

00:18:58 --> 00:19:02

Buddha, it is on us. And as Allah subhanaw taala told the Prophet

00:19:02 --> 00:19:07

salallahu Salam in Nicollet de manera bapta You cannot guide who

00:19:07 --> 00:19:11

you want Allah. You had the minutiae in asados Allah subhanaw

00:19:11 --> 00:19:15

taala guides to whom, so that Allah Swanton has kept with

00:19:15 --> 00:19:15

himself

00:19:16 --> 00:19:19

and then Allah subhanaw taala says, we're in Atlanta.

00:19:22 --> 00:19:29

And Allah has sovereignty, His kingdom, His Milk, milk here is

00:19:30 --> 00:19:35

the akhira in the hula what came before which is the dunya.

00:19:36 --> 00:19:40

Everything in the alpha belongs to Allah smiled Allah he will give an

00:19:40 --> 00:19:43

assigned what he wants to whom He will in whatever quantity,

00:19:43 --> 00:19:47

everything in the dunya belongs to Allah he will give what he wants,

00:19:47 --> 00:19:52

how much he wants, when he wants as he wants. Through means without

00:19:52 --> 00:19:56

means everything belongs to him, and that is easy to understand.

00:19:56 --> 00:19:59

Now once we understand that everything belongs to him does

00:20:00 --> 00:20:05

then become useful is, oh, let me give it let me spend why because

00:20:05 --> 00:20:06

it's not mine to start with.

00:20:07 --> 00:20:11

It's Allah Subhana Allah Allah subhanaw taala gives us and then

00:20:11 --> 00:20:12

says,

00:20:13 --> 00:20:15

give me a goodly Lord Cardin hustler.

00:20:17 --> 00:20:21

So this is how Allah subhanaw taala treats us. After giving us

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

he asked us to spend something from

00:20:25 --> 00:20:29

then Allah subhanaw taala as you know Allah Subhana Allah send the

00:20:29 --> 00:20:34

Prophet salallahu Salam as a Bashir and another one who gives

00:20:34 --> 00:20:37

glad tidings of the Jannah of Allah's pleasure and Allah's

00:20:37 --> 00:20:44

reward and the who warns warns of his anger ones of his punishment

00:20:44 --> 00:20:46

of his Jalon of the Jannah and so on so forth.

00:20:48 --> 00:20:55

And so he used to was told to warn people of the Jana. Okay. Allah

00:20:55 --> 00:21:00

subhanaw taala says warn people now in this idea that's coming for

00:21:00 --> 00:21:06

under token now run the love of Allah subhanaw taala is not

00:21:06 --> 00:21:10

warning through Rasulullah sallallahu Listen, after telling

00:21:10 --> 00:21:16

us all as the saying under the command, I have warned you that

00:21:16 --> 00:21:19

this isn't passed and Allah subhanaw taala say I have warned

00:21:19 --> 00:21:25

you about the fire that is raging blazing the love law.

00:21:27 --> 00:21:31

So nobody can say I didn't get them Allah Swanton I myself I

00:21:31 --> 00:21:35

mean, imagine one message comes through a messenger, which is good

00:21:35 --> 00:21:40

enough. But here the one the king himself is giving the message.

00:21:40 --> 00:21:45

Allah subhanaw taala is saying, so this should be the ultimate Allah

00:21:45 --> 00:21:49

saying the One who created that non pallava that I warn you. In

00:21:49 --> 00:21:53

other words, don't take that path that we just talked about the

00:21:53 --> 00:21:59

second of those path of denial of holding, you know, of doing evil.

00:22:00 --> 00:22:04

Because after easing all of that, I am going to put you in that

00:22:04 --> 00:22:09

Hellfire that is blazing and I am warning you in other words don't

00:22:09 --> 00:22:09

take that.

00:22:11 --> 00:22:14

Then Allah subhanaw taala tells us who are the people destined for

00:22:14 --> 00:22:21

that he says, la yes La ilaha illa Ashkar no one will enter it except

00:22:21 --> 00:22:28

the Ashkar what is a Shiva Shakti is the miserable whose is bad. And

00:22:28 --> 00:22:34

a spa is the superlative form of it. The worst, the most wretched,

00:22:35 --> 00:22:39

the most evil Allah subhanaw taala saying no one will enter it except

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

that means the most evil people will enter it will have to endure

00:22:44 --> 00:22:45

that fire.

00:22:47 --> 00:22:51

What is the characteristic of this going back to previous reference?

00:22:51 --> 00:22:58

A lady Canada water well, first of all, get the VA he denied before

00:22:58 --> 00:23:02

get the mobile Husna. Here I let the kids die. He just said what

00:23:02 --> 00:23:07

did He die? He denied like he denied Allah's existence. He

00:23:07 --> 00:23:12

denied accountability. He denied Day of Judgment. He denied Jana.

00:23:13 --> 00:23:17

He denied that there are rewards and punishments. He denied that

00:23:17 --> 00:23:20

his life life after death. God in his belief,

00:23:22 --> 00:23:27

he didn't believe denied it. The message came to him the warning of

00:23:27 --> 00:23:30

Allah came to him the warning from the messenger came to the Bashara

00:23:30 --> 00:23:34

came to him the guidance came to deny and not only did he deny

00:23:34 --> 00:23:38

inside in his belief, what well Allah means to turn away

00:23:39 --> 00:23:46

action by his actions he denied. So not only did he not believe in

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

Sai he was not like the Munna avec, because when AFIC didn't

00:23:49 --> 00:23:53

believe, but would do good deeds and would join in Salah. This one

00:23:54 --> 00:23:59

denied and then turned away from all of that he rejected it by his

00:23:59 --> 00:24:00

actions.

00:24:01 --> 00:24:04

When he was called to Allah subhanaw taala he says no, I'm

00:24:04 --> 00:24:08

turning away when he was called for example, by someone asking a

00:24:08 --> 00:24:09

needy

00:24:10 --> 00:24:13

give me something he turned away from his turn his face No, give

00:24:13 --> 00:24:17

him the back. So he turned away from all good things

00:24:25 --> 00:24:31

so this is the one who is going to be a shock. The worst of the worst

00:24:31 --> 00:24:32

will be in Jannah.

00:24:34 --> 00:24:40

That Allah subhanaw taala says was so you Jenna boehle at that was

00:24:40 --> 00:24:44

Ashkar the worst? At comments. The one who has the most Taqwa

00:24:46 --> 00:24:53

was say you Jen and we will soon move aways. Move to the side or

00:24:53 --> 00:24:59

save who? The one who has who has the most Taqwa

00:25:00 --> 00:25:03

Who is the most God fearing who's the most Mottaki?

00:25:05 --> 00:25:10

He will be saved from that naran talaga.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:16

Fortunately, Salah has mercy that this the way these wordings are,

00:25:17 --> 00:25:21

it is not like the one who is going to be in Jannah because in

00:25:21 --> 00:25:25

that one Allah subhanaw taala says, no one will enter it except

00:25:25 --> 00:25:30

the ashcan. If the structure was the same, it would mean nobody

00:25:30 --> 00:25:34

would be saved from it except the Atka. In other words, only the

00:25:34 --> 00:25:37

most Motoki would be saved but that's not how Allah subhanaw

00:25:37 --> 00:25:41

taala says in the in this this is mercy he says

00:25:43 --> 00:25:48

was so your Jana Jana boehle at carmenes The one who have most

00:25:48 --> 00:25:52

Taqwa would certainly be saved. But it doesn't mean that who have

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

less Taqwa will go and Jana. Okay.

00:25:55 --> 00:25:59

Anyone who's striving has any degree of Taqwa any degree,

00:25:59 --> 00:26:02

doesn't have to be Atka. But the goal is to be at

00:26:03 --> 00:26:08

the most Taqwa will be saved from it would be turned away from it.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:13

And what are the characteristic again of this because this matches

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

with the first the three that we talked about.

00:26:17 --> 00:26:21

What does he do unlike the U T, MALABU. Yet,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:30

which shows his Taqwa by U T, by giving Milo his wealth

00:26:32 --> 00:26:37

yet Zabka to purify himself to purify his wealth, give Zakka

00:26:38 --> 00:26:41

Okay, here, Allah subhanaw taala clearly mentioned about giving

00:26:41 --> 00:26:48

man, before one was outta spend, and can be everything. So Allah

00:26:48 --> 00:26:51

subhanaw taala, saying, The characteristic of this person who

00:26:51 --> 00:26:56

will be saved from non pallava is that he gives from his wealth to

00:26:56 --> 00:27:02

purify, purify his own greed, his own attachment to the wealth

00:27:02 --> 00:27:05

because wealth produces attachment, the more you have the

00:27:05 --> 00:27:09

more attachment and once you get an attachment and hope for man,

00:27:10 --> 00:27:13

that heart cannot have open attachment for last month, because

00:27:13 --> 00:27:16

there is Allah subhanaw taala doesn't exist in a heart which is

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

attached to other than Him.

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

So

00:27:23 --> 00:27:28

we should remember that and what is it, to purify his intention is

00:27:28 --> 00:27:32

to purify himself from that greed from that attachment and to purify

00:27:32 --> 00:27:36

his wealth and make the rest of it halal. The minimum of which is to

00:27:36 --> 00:27:39

give two and a half percent, one part out of 40

00:27:40 --> 00:27:44

and then Allah subhanaw taala specifies a little bit about this

00:27:44 --> 00:27:49

spending he says, well, Molly I hadn't under whom in Namath and

00:27:49 --> 00:27:55

Tujunga that the one he is giving is not giving because that guy did

00:27:55 --> 00:27:59

something for him in the past, so he is compensating him or he is

00:27:59 --> 00:28:04

giving to someone expecting a Jezza from him later on that I

00:28:04 --> 00:28:08

will get this in return. Allah is not doing it for these base

00:28:08 --> 00:28:12

reason, you know, returning someone's favor, or expecting some

00:28:12 --> 00:28:19

favor agenda from someone else. So what does he do it for?

00:28:21 --> 00:28:24

Liberty Honda Waje here up the hill.

00:28:26 --> 00:28:31

He only this does it for no other reason except seeking.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:35

Looking for empathy,

00:28:36 --> 00:28:42

longing for what means countenance Rob bale

00:28:44 --> 00:28:49

of His countenance which means the pleasure of his Lord, the Most

00:28:49 --> 00:28:49

High

00:28:51 --> 00:28:55

and when a person thinks of his Lord is Most High, what does he

00:28:55 --> 00:29:01

then feel himself. I am the lowest, he doesn't feel that is

00:29:01 --> 00:29:05

still gonna. He feels humility and humbleness because he knows

00:29:05 --> 00:29:10

there's only one who is an ADD, which is the last one. So he is

00:29:10 --> 00:29:15

giving fun only with the sincere purpose that maybe my Rob will be

00:29:15 --> 00:29:19

pleased with me. And this also comes in Surah Daraa said that we

00:29:19 --> 00:29:23

don't give you for anything in return. We are doing this only for

00:29:23 --> 00:29:29

Allah. This comes in many places. So our intentions should always be

00:29:29 --> 00:29:35

to do it. Seeking the pleasure from loss in love Teva YG, Rob

00:29:35 --> 00:29:39

bail Allah, then Allah subhanaw taala concludes by saying well as

00:29:39 --> 00:29:41

so far young law

00:29:42 --> 00:29:47

and this normally the lamb is for Takis to stress and indeed

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

so far means

00:29:52 --> 00:29:58

in the future, you're gonna he will be well pleased. But there is

00:29:58 --> 00:29:59

also a what's called level

00:30:00 --> 00:30:03

Kasam then the scholars have said that's what this is that Allah

00:30:03 --> 00:30:09

subhanaw taala saying, and I swear that he will be well pleased, who

00:30:09 --> 00:30:12

is this He who has done all of these things?

00:30:14 --> 00:30:19

What is well pleased means Allah subhanaw taala is not saying only

00:30:19 --> 00:30:19

in the

00:30:21 --> 00:30:22

last one and bylaws.

00:30:23 --> 00:30:28

Generosity extends throughout existence Donia and aka Allah

00:30:28 --> 00:30:32

subhanaw taala say, and I swear that the one who does this, who

00:30:32 --> 00:30:38

does Spence who was sincere for Allah's pleasure, who sought

00:30:38 --> 00:30:43

dockable personnel, and who confirms all of those things.

00:30:43 --> 00:30:48

Allah subhanaw taala will make him so pleased with what he gets as a

00:30:48 --> 00:30:53

compensation for what should we expect for return of his money?

00:30:53 --> 00:30:57

For one, Allah subhanaw taala says he is looking for purification,

00:30:58 --> 00:31:00

the Zakka Allah will purify.

00:31:02 --> 00:31:07

What else will Allah subhanaw taala do in this life, Allah

00:31:07 --> 00:31:12

subhanaw taala will fill the believers heart and soul with

00:31:12 --> 00:31:14

everything that

00:31:15 --> 00:31:20

is beautiful that radiates that around him that helps people feel

00:31:20 --> 00:31:26

that goodness, that is the reward. He will be satisfied and take

00:31:26 --> 00:31:29

pleasure in his deen and the practices of his Deen Allah

00:31:29 --> 00:31:34

subhanaw taala will remove doubts and shock and laziness and all of

00:31:34 --> 00:31:37

those things that he will be pleased to have ready to be

00:31:37 --> 00:31:43

liable. I am pleased to have Allah Asma Islam Medina obey Muhammad

00:31:43 --> 00:31:48

sallallahu alayhi salam, for Salah is pleased with all of that, that

00:31:48 --> 00:31:51

will be sincerely he will be pleased with the destiny of Allah

00:31:51 --> 00:31:54

subhanaw taala in the dunya of what she goes through, whether

00:31:54 --> 00:31:57

it's hardship, or whether it's ease, whether it's poverty,

00:31:57 --> 00:32:02

whether it's plenty, he will be content in the dunya with Whatever

00:32:02 --> 00:32:07

befalls him of comfort or discomfort, poor or wealthy, he

00:32:07 --> 00:32:11

will be free of anxiety, Allah will remove those feelings of

00:32:11 --> 00:32:15

depression and hopelessness. He does not worry even if he has

00:32:15 --> 00:32:19

nothing where will my risk come because Allah subhanaw taala says,

00:32:20 --> 00:32:21

your risk

00:32:22 --> 00:32:27

for summer amatola fissa my risk Coco mama to adorn and in the

00:32:28 --> 00:32:31

heavens is your risk and what you have been promised so and he

00:32:31 --> 00:32:34

believes in that Allah will provide for me even though there

00:32:34 --> 00:32:36

is no means I see where it is coming from.

00:32:37 --> 00:32:41

Then Allah subhanaw taala will remove all of his burdens in this

00:32:41 --> 00:32:45

life and make things goodness easy for him. It will give him

00:32:45 --> 00:32:50

satisfaction, he will give him peace and tranquility. Allah

00:32:50 --> 00:32:56

subhanaw taala will make his death on on Sabbath on the deen on the

00:32:56 --> 00:33:01

caliber, Allah subhanaw taala will make the grave a place of pleasure

00:33:01 --> 00:33:04

for this person. And ultimately Allah subhanaw taala will will

00:33:04 --> 00:33:07

remove the hardships of the day of judgment Allah subhanaw taala

00:33:08 --> 00:33:11

would give him honor and shade on the Day of Judgment, Allah

00:33:11 --> 00:33:15

subhanaw taala will enter this person into Paradise which is the

00:33:15 --> 00:33:20

ultimate. And then the ultimate in Paradise is Allah subhanaw taala

00:33:20 --> 00:33:24

saying I am pleased with you and I will never be displeased. So all

00:33:24 --> 00:33:28

of those will be what pleases Allah smart Allah Allah. So for

00:33:28 --> 00:33:35

Europa, what I will give him he will be so pleased, there'll be

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

nothing that he will desire after

00:33:38 --> 00:33:43

all this, for what for what he did, how he treated which path

00:33:43 --> 00:33:50

which side he took the path to Alas, pleasure. So that in summary

00:33:50 --> 00:33:54

tells us because we need to be reminded because we live in a

00:33:54 --> 00:33:59

capitalistic society where the focus is on wealth for non Muslims

00:33:59 --> 00:34:04

and for Muslims. We are just as guilty you and me, all of us that

00:34:04 --> 00:34:08

we want more and more and more. If Allah were to make us,

00:34:08 --> 00:34:12

billionaire, what kind of a fitna that would do. First of all, I can

00:34:12 --> 00:34:17

eat billions worth. Number two, will that move me away from Allah?

00:34:18 --> 00:34:23

Will that give me cable and arrogance? Will that make me show

00:34:23 --> 00:34:26

off to people call people look what I have, look what I've

00:34:26 --> 00:34:27

achieved like our own.

00:34:29 --> 00:34:30

Will that make me heedless of Allah?

00:34:32 --> 00:34:33

Will that make me

00:34:34 --> 00:34:38

perform shirk in the means of those things that now I am

00:34:38 --> 00:34:44

comfortable? I don't need will. Or will it be that the first thing

00:34:44 --> 00:34:48

that happens? Allah comes to my mind that Allah will provide.

00:34:49 --> 00:34:54

So having wealth can be a blessing, but more often than not,

00:34:55 --> 00:34:58

it is a challenge because Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihe Salam

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

told us he said for every one

00:35:00 --> 00:35:05

Ma, there is a fitna a trial and he says a fitna to mighty al Mal,

00:35:05 --> 00:35:11

the fitna the trial is for my ummah, the character is wealth.

00:35:11 --> 00:35:16

And we see Muslims behaving like everybody else wants to come into

00:35:16 --> 00:35:16

money.

00:35:17 --> 00:35:21

So Rasulullah sallallahu Alaihe Salam used to make dua, he said,

00:35:21 --> 00:35:23

Yeah Allah give to ilm, from

00:35:24 --> 00:35:29

what should you give risk, what kind of risk Kuta just sufficient.

00:35:30 --> 00:35:33

Not that it becomes a challenge, not that it becomes something that

00:35:33 --> 00:35:39

makes us further from Allah, not that makes us feel forgetful of

00:35:39 --> 00:35:44

Allah and mob Allah that makes us feel that I don't need what is

00:35:44 --> 00:35:49

that kind of wealth, that is a recipe for disaster. So what we

00:35:49 --> 00:35:53

have, if it is sufficient we should be, we don't ask the

00:35:53 --> 00:35:57

Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam also sought refuge from fucker

00:35:57 --> 00:36:01

that you don't have enough, then it leads you to another situation.

00:36:01 --> 00:36:07

We are, we have sufficient and what Allah gives, I have Karna the

00:36:07 --> 00:36:12

greatest wealth is to have Karna which is to feel content with what

00:36:12 --> 00:36:15

we have that is the greatest wealth, because otherwise we can

00:36:15 --> 00:36:20

have in numerical numbers and amounts, and yet we don't feel

00:36:20 --> 00:36:24

satisfied. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to give us a clear

00:36:24 --> 00:36:29

understanding of the true worth of wealth and the wealth can be used

00:36:29 --> 00:36:33

in many good things, that if Allah smart Allah has written for us a

00:36:33 --> 00:36:37

lot of wealth, that we use it for His pleasure, that we spend a lot

00:36:37 --> 00:36:41

of it and we know that we will get it back that we use it as an

00:36:41 --> 00:36:46

opportunity for Allah's pleasure. And for the rewards not for any

00:36:46 --> 00:36:50

other not to look generous and infringer not to expect rewards

00:36:50 --> 00:36:53

from people recognition, even a think

00:36:55 --> 00:36:58

So may Allah smart Allah give us that understanding my last month

00:36:58 --> 00:37:02

I'll open our hearts to understand that what we have is belongs to

00:37:02 --> 00:37:06

Allah, and it's going to be left here. So why not use it as much as

00:37:06 --> 00:37:12

possible, minimum of which is to make sure that we full fully gives

00:37:12 --> 00:37:17

a carton is little more just as a safety net, and then give more

00:37:17 --> 00:37:22

insulin. And then Allah subhanaw taala will ease that and that

00:37:22 --> 00:37:25

giving will start giving pleasure to the person.

00:37:26 --> 00:37:30

Like Salah for some people is a burden, it's a hardship, but for

00:37:30 --> 00:37:34

Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam, what did he say? It is

00:37:34 --> 00:37:35

Corolla time.

00:37:36 --> 00:37:39

Joy, let it's Allah kura Toyne. Okay?

00:37:40 --> 00:37:46

That for me, the salah has been made a pleasure for my eyes. So

00:37:46 --> 00:37:49

everything good will become pleasurable. That's what we ask.

00:37:50 --> 00:37:55

And doing that being aware of Allah's rights upon us at all

00:37:55 --> 00:38:01

times, to him and to his creatures. And keeping this focus

00:38:01 --> 00:38:05

that everybody's running in different direction. I don't need

00:38:05 --> 00:38:09

to be distracted, I need to have one focus, I have one path, I ask

00:38:09 --> 00:38:12

Allah subhanaw taala every day for that guidance. The goal at the end

00:38:12 --> 00:38:16

of that path is Allah's pleasure is Allah Himself, my goal is

00:38:16 --> 00:38:23

Allah, not anything else. So we keep that focus. And we, if we see

00:38:23 --> 00:38:28

we are doing good things, we thank Allah and do more. And if we see

00:38:28 --> 00:38:32

we are doing something else, we do a lot of stuff far and turn away

00:38:32 --> 00:38:35

from things that may be leading us to that.

00:38:36 --> 00:38:41

So now Allah subhanaw taala help us to understand this and to to

00:38:41 --> 00:38:44

implement this in our lives. And in sha Allah.

00:38:45 --> 00:38:48

We ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us among those who are among

00:38:48 --> 00:38:54

the Atka. Now some of the Mufasa rune have said that some of these

00:38:54 --> 00:39:01

Iots were specifically revealed regarding acidic Abu Bakr, Siddiq,

00:39:01 --> 00:39:02

Radi Allahu Anhu.

00:39:03 --> 00:39:08

Because he was of those who did all of these things. You know,

00:39:08 --> 00:39:11

when the early Muslims were being, and especially those who were

00:39:11 --> 00:39:15

slaves were being tortured, he would buy them and release them,

00:39:16 --> 00:39:17

give them freedom.

00:39:18 --> 00:39:23

And in fact, about a book Kochava his father said that I hear you by

00:39:23 --> 00:39:27

all of these weeks lives in women and you, you free them, why don't

00:39:27 --> 00:39:31

you buy the strong ones. So when you free them, they can defend you

00:39:31 --> 00:39:35

they can be used for V said, I'm not doing it for my benefit. I'm

00:39:35 --> 00:39:38

doing it for Allah's pleasure. So he did all of these things. So

00:39:38 --> 00:39:43

when it says at God, the most conscious of Allah subhanaw taala

00:39:43 --> 00:39:48

general consensus is that the one with Atka in this ummah is our

00:39:48 --> 00:39:48

workers.

00:39:50 --> 00:39:54

So some have said that these some of these is because he did all of

00:39:54 --> 00:40:00

those things, who are specifically for in the revelation was about

00:40:00 --> 00:40:02

I watch him to highlight his, his

00:40:04 --> 00:40:05

father is his,

00:40:06 --> 00:40:07

his

00:40:08 --> 00:40:13

nobility, his goodness, but they are general everybody should

00:40:13 --> 00:40:18

aspire for that. They're not just for him. So that's another angle

00:40:18 --> 00:40:24

that I had forgotten. So inshallah we will end with that and open it

00:40:24 --> 00:40:26

up for comments and questions and answers. So Hannah Kolomna on the
