We praise Allah subhanaw taala
as he deserves to be praised and glorified, and we send peace and
blessings on the best of his creation. So you have Nam Hamid
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and his noble family.
We ask Allah subhanaw taala to help us in our study of His words,
His Kalam
to open our hearts, because this is not a study of academia, to
pass exams. It is something that we want embedded something that
words of ALLAH to penetrate our hearts so that our hearts perceive
it, as Allah subhanaw taala willed it for us. So that we understand
the big picture, that we understand who we are, and why we
are here, and what we need to do to be successful with Allah
subhanaw taala. So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to open the hearing
channels of our hearts
and the understanding channels of our hearts and to show us truth as
the truth and to help us to follow it and to show us falsehood about
it as wrong and to help us to identify it and stay away from it.
So the surah that we have planned today and I'm sorry for the delay
beyond our control today. But anyway,
we start with surah number 100 of the Quran, which is a Hadith that
Raha Salah FISU Allah subhanaw taala will reveal what was in the
hearts not just the actions that were done, but what was inside the
hearts Okay, which is the intentions which is the love which
is the desire for this and that
in Rob bomba him Yo my villa Hubby, indeed on that day, the
Lord
will be hobby hobby, it means to have full knowledge of the outside
and the inside. I layman hobby, the two words that I use are
Lehmann Kirby. Okay, hobby means he knows everything that now it
says on that day, does Allah not not till that day, Allah always
knows. But he's stressing the importance of that day that he
already knows. But he will bring all of this out so that you will
see it in front of him, and he already knew it. Okay. So Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us that, look, there is a day of judgment
coming, you have a higher goal than this wealth that you're
trying to accumulate, make the accuracy your goal, and then Allah
will give you enough of the dunya if you make the dunya as your
goal, you're going to have a problem. The Prophet sallallahu
Sallam told us that Allah subhanaw taala says that all my slave
if you make you're the author, the hereafter as your goal
as your objective in your life,
I will give you of the dunya
and I will give you contentment in your heart and I will gather your
sources of risk to make it easy for you. You don't have to run
everywhere, like a chicken who's has a Master who puts all the
grain here who can eat right from here as opposed to one who has to
go all over the to find one grain here.
And he will remove your poverty. In other words, you will feel
content richness is Connor in the heart. And he said if you don't if
you make the dunya as your main goal, he said I will scatter your
your efforts and your risk and you will never feel contentment you
will never feel rich you will always have the fear of poverty
and you will still only get that whichever nothing. So Allah
subhanaw taala is telling us here that we must keep the goal of the
Accra in front of us. Now each one of us has to ask ourselves every
morning we get up.
Either we some of us may say what today this is what my intention is
my goal is or without making the
intention will automatically do something because it's in our
heart. How often do we get up and say, let me see what I can do for
my aka today? How many days in a week? And how many days in a week
do we get up? How much can I earn? What can I improve my dunya this
will give us a standard as to where we are, because ultimately
it's about me.
Do I get up with the goal that every single day I have to use to
make my Acura and Allah will give me whatever is on this dunya and
this doesn't mean that you live your work. Okay?
Because work then Allah subhanaw taala says we'll make it easy for
you to earn your risk. But everything I do in the dunya
should be with the goal that it should be a positive thing for my
Agra. I shouldn't do anything of this dunya which takes me to gym.
So Allah subhanaw taala is reminding of this important thing
that
we all have love for possessions. Allah smart Allah Himself has put
that last one Allah says in surah, Allah Xuyen Allah Nasser Bucha
word imminent desirable Bernina will come out here in the country
it will mean that they will fit that they will fail in was so will
meet they will an AMA when health Danica HYAH Luca Matanga to dunya
that Allah has put the love of female companions of wealth of
horses Hein that we are talking about that of gold and silver, and
all of these he has put, he said, but this is metalhead thing. And
these are just the provisions of this dunya you're going to leave
it all behind. You know, today we talk about what's the net worth,
Dr. Martin, what's your net worth?
literally zero
net worth. Today, when we ask somebody your net worth, they will
tell you 2 million 50 million, this is the net worth.
Net worth is what your worth is with Allah. So that's your net
worth. Because what you think suppose somebody says I am worth
$20 million.
And every year I go by 5 million,
what is yours?
The Prophet sallallahu sallam said yours is only that which
you have worn the clothes you spent the how many clothes you can
wear, what you have eaten.
And that which You have given in charity sadaqa, which was written
in your account, the rest of it, you can have 20 million or you can
have 20 billion belongs to who
to inheritors, and Uncle Sam, when you die, you're not going to take
any of it. Uncle Sam will take a chunk that is a state tax, the
rest will be divided among your children, then maybe lawsuits the
lawyers will take half the children will fight over it. And
you said it was my net worth no it wasn't the only thing that was
yours was what you used. You gave the example what you dressed and
what you hate, and you can add a few more and most importantly,
what is really yours and that's left here, but what you have sent
as charity. So now
so this is the importance of understanding what is the goal of
our life, what is the value of wealth? Yes, we have but we have
to acquire it in moderation, what Allah has written is going to come
you may work level and you may get a lot more than what we calculate
you should get
and there are some who work very hard and they don't do very well
because this is the law of Allah subhanaw taala risk was written
way before.
So our job is not to worry about how much we are going to get but
do we get it through Halal means or haram means that's the only
difference.
And how much do we stress over it? And how much effort do we make for
the
so now
let's look at the art that we have the scene of these charging
horses.
What is the connection between that and inner in santa clara de
la cannot the man is ungrateful.
If you look at it, horses are very intelligent animals. Okay, they're
very intelligent, very loyal animals.
And they're trained to do whatever you want. Okay? Now these battle
horses know when they are going into battle horses, they've seen
it enough times that they could be injured and they will probably be
killed. Because the people the cavalry is coming. What do they
do?
To the hit the legs of the horse, right? So the rider comes down
yet. And the horses as animals have instinct, when they see
danger, what do they do? They run.
Yet these horses are running straight into the danger,
straight into the danger knowing
that they are probably going to get injured or be killed.
And they are going for a purpose. It's not their battle, they're not
going to get gain anything from it. Why are they doing this,
because of the loyalty to the owner who's riding on the back,
who gave them some grass which are like Rose, who gave them some
water which Allah sent.
That's it, that's all, maybe patted him, maybe brushed him and
washed him a little bit. That's all they did for the horse. And
the horse is willing to lay down his life for his master. And he's
a horse.
No comparison number two, here is man who Allah gives and gives and
gives not just grass and water, everything Allah has given to this
man, from intelligence to sight to language to to you know, cognitive
abilities to wealth to families to all recognition Well, everything
from before they were born from providing in the in the wombs of
the mother, till the last Allah was giving loading us with nama
after Nam after namah. And we don't show that loyalty to even
stand up in Salah for
let alone lead on your life.
So who's better? The beast, the horse, or man.
And you can see this across
dogs, dogs who will look down on you know they are impure, how
loyal a dog will get himself killed to ServiceMaster.
Some of you may have seen this video they came out a few months
ago among the police brutality. One dog was sitting inside the car
and the police tried to to grab this the owner who was dog jumped
out of the window and went after their short term of course on the
road, but he laid down his life for his master.
And they do that all the time.
Allah subhanaw taala is bringing our attention. Look at this
creature. Look at his loyalty to his master who he thinks is his
master who even whips him and lashes him and does whatever else.
And yet, he obeys. He is loyal. Where is the loyalty of men
doesn't recognize the master
canoed also means to cut off relationships. That means he wants
to have nothing to do with his master. He says, I don't have a
master I am a master of my own destiny as some people say. Right?
So Allah subhanaw taala is making us a comparison to make us feel
some form of shame or realisation. How much better should I be
towards my master? My real Lord? That's the connection.
That here's a horse and look at what his actions and here you are.
What is the reason for this lack of loyalty? Because your loyalty
is that instead of your love your hope for Allah subhanaw taala
you're and you don't see him you have all of his blessings. But you
only look at the wealth and you want more and more and whoever has
that will not have hope, love and loss
because Allah subhanaw taala does not compete with people at heart
in which there is help of dunya the love of dunya cannot have help
of Allah so no matter how much we claim Ryota Okay,
one who has true love for Allah subhanaw taala Allah gives him
dunya the dunya is in his hand, it's not in his heart. In other
words, it's here for us. If it more comes, no problem it goes No
problem. It's for my use, Allah has given. So this is the
important part of the surah that Allah subhanaw taala is making us
realize
that we need to be grateful.
We complain all the time.
All the time.
When we go to there's plenty of doctors what is the first thing we
write down on a history physical complaints?
How often does patient comments how are you says Alhamdulillah I
have had a blessed life all of this. Just some minor things have
developed now
when
that'd be nice Sunday patient came and said, I've been blessed with
all now I have a little pain in my knee. I can deal with it. But I
thought I might see if I can improve that. But we complain
when it gets hot, or dark, it's 97 degrees today.
The people who live we live in 120 degrees, these thunderstorms have
come. So
light is gone, we have light every day, if it's gone, one day was the
big day. There is no water, we are not dying of thirsty.
You have to look at the blessings of Allah subhanaw taala
all the time we have it yet. The one time you don't really
complain. This happens in our marital relationship, the husband
or the wife, maybe the most wonderful the one day he or she
does something wrong, that's it.
can do it
you have to change that.
Because that's also a blessing from us.
That's the blessing of Allah. So how should we show gratitude I'll
come to that. We should show gratitude by using the blessings
of Allah subhanaw taala in a way that he loves. Okay.
It's not enough to say I thank you Allah. Well, that's at least we
talked about it, but to use the blessing he gives you Allah has
given you a blessing of time, what is life the ultimate is this, what
is the best thing you have? Somebody will say, I have family,
I have health I have this I have that. Ultimately more than that is
your own life. And what is life? It is a period of time of seconds
of heartbeats. So if Allah has given 70 years, or 80 years, we
have to use it properly. So what are you doing? What are you doing?
I'm just passing time what time will pass anyway? I'm just blowing
the time. That's blowing. If you do nothing two hours of watching
semifinals of the soccer you blown two hours right?
If Denmark one or UK one, it doesn't make any difference to
you. Not one of them know who you are. Right.
If Joker which wins the Wimbledon, he doesn't know that Dr. Mateen
was was cheering from his bedroom. He doesn't know. Right? So we have
these things where we spend hours and hours of our time which is
wasted. This is the most important resource as the person who is on
his deathbed What is he looking for? Little more extension, I wish
I had a little more time while you had all the time that you wasted.
Some people spent 12 hours in sleep, that's half the life.
Right? Eight hours of sleep 1/3 of the life gone, doing nothing. So
using the time in the right way, using the knowledge that Allah has
given us knowledge of the Quran, what am I know, I've heard this,
what am I going to do different? What is good? How is it going to
change the goals in my life? What is going to change in my attitude
towards wealth?
What will I do with my health?
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam said that man is heedless in
certain things. You said about his free time, he has free time, he
doesn't value it. He has helped. He doesn't value it.
Because then when you become sick, you can do certain things that you
would have liked to do today we say
when I'm settled, when everything's all set, when I'm
retired, I'm going to do how do you know you're going to retire?
And how do you know you'll have health to be able to do anything?
Right? So it has to be an active process throughout your life. You
can put things off? Do we put up? Okay, I'll go to work when I feel
like it when I'm strong at the age of 40. No, you got to do it. So
similarly for the ACA, you need to work every day. What do I put
forward for the day? So that's very, very important that we show
gratitude to Allah subhanaw taala and we we recognize His blessings
in every single, single day. Right now the air is moving.
In my house, the air is not moving. So now I recognize the
blessing of moving air. Otherwise, you'd be sitting there in the
heat, humidity, sweating away, and just a little movement of air. Who
taught you that? Last one? When you have a terrible day a little
breeze comes how welcoming is it?
How often do we assess how Allah subhanaw taala what must have
taken off laws of physics and things to move the air to give you
that breeze? What does it take to bring the rain and we come in Oh,
it's raining. Do you know what when we
I ended what powers of what rays of the sun went and caused so much
evaporation and cause clouds to collect and move from hundreds of
miles to go to a certain area to bring render. So it's raining
Alhamdulillah it's raining Allah brought mercy for us. What are the
processes that
I am listening? You are I'm talking you are listening and vice
versa. What are the processes that are going on in the brain? We have
no clue even doctors we have no clue we have some ideas.
gastroenterologist once it goes here, he doesn't know what exactly
is going on. He has some ideas. There's acid, there's enzyme does
this. What is real, we don't know.
Even we look in there, we still don't know we see gross things in
the brain, we don't know anything.
Okay, so recognizing that there are blessings of Allah Tala with
us at all times and focusing on that rather than the one thing
that doesn't pleases
Sugar, sugar, sugar, whole life should be one of sugar.
So, with this surah Allah subhanaw taala helps us to realize that his
blessings are infinite, that we should be grateful use his
blessings in the right way
that we should remind ourselves of the other creatures which are
considered lower than us animals, yet they are so loyal,
that I need to be better than a dog and a horse. And to know that
if I am imbalanced in my desire and love for wealth, I need to
bring it to a balance to
equilibrium, which is proper as Allah wants to be. And to know
that one day no matter what I have, it is going underground. And
I'm coming out with everybody else, you know, as in search
results, so results a lot that we had covered before your mind and
on that day. Also on
that day, Allah says for me I'm ill with Canada rotten hiring year
when we Yarmouth with Canada rotten, Sharon Euro, that's the
surah just before that, on that day, everyone will know the
smallest atoms worth of good that they have done actions and the
smallest items worth of evil or bad they have done in this surah
ISIS maphis So do not just the external action, it completes it.
Those actions were not in the Surah before now even what was
inside the hearts I know because sometimes we see actions, but
inside the heart may be wrong, okay. They may be hypocrisy, I
mean, they went off upon us to come and pray with the prophets of
Allah is okay. So, even the intentions, everything external is
known, now the internal is known. So Allah subhanaw taala says in
Rothbaum Yo my the lobby, on this day, Allah the Lord
is Kabir. What you've done outside of actions, what is inside your
hearts, he already knew it, but it will be for display for you to see
yourself and you will be a witness of it. And your ingratitude will
be shown by your words of what you say your ingratitude your Knut
will be shown by how you use his blessings.
So we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us among the shagreen those
who always recognize on bass panna Palace bounties on us and focus on
his blessings. And always be grateful by using recognizing them
and using them in a way that is pleasing to Allah subhanaw taala.
And when Allah subhanaw taala challenges us with something that
we don't like, we take it with summer, and we don't make it the
focus of my life.
Today, this happened, or tomorrow this because if you do, then
you're causing problems for yourself. Why? Because that will
build you anxiety, and you only see that you only see darkness,
instead of all the light that's around. So that's very, very
important. And that's one that will help us to do that and help
us to make the alpha as the goal on a daily basis. And that we go
about the dunya keeping the alpha the goal in front of us
and help us to be surrounded by people who remind us of that all
the time. Because man by nature is forgetful we get involved in
something we forget. So we need that constant reminder, we need
the reminder that yes, no matter what we achieve of the dunya it's
going to be left behind but what we have done for the Accra will
always remain and therefore our day should be focused that even
what I do of the dunya should be positive
For the and what I do for the affirmations of course for the
anchor of charity, have a bad out of have good o'clock of teaching,
helping people teaching people, you know all of that,
that we do on a regular basis with the goal of pleasing Allah
subhanaw taala so that our Accra is one of success, not a failure
because Allah Samantha define success and failure, not the way
that we do in a worldly sense.
Subhanak Allahumma would be him the Kenosha to Allah in LA
to La Shala we can open it up for questions and answers and
comments.
