Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah ala alihi
wa sahbihi woman
we ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless our gathering today
with his acceptance and to make us among those who continuously
witnesses still ahead
and who strive to be the best
in the way that Allah subhanaw taala wants us to the best of our
potential
you and to lead our lives in a way that fulfills the purpose for
which Allah Subhana Allah has created us and that he be pleased
with us.
We make sincere dua for his acceptance and for His pleasure.
We send peace and blessings on our beloved Rasool allah sallallahu
alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to cleanse
our hearts so that we can receive the generosity of his nor
into the innermost recesses of our hearts
that illuminate us with the right guidance, and that you give us
Tofik
to act on what He has commanded us to do, and to abstain from what
she has forbidden us
to lead our lives in compliance and in the etbr of the best of his
creation.
So you're gonna Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi, WA alayhi wa
sallam.
So our session today is dealing with
the 95th Surah, which is Surah 18.
But inside as we say, the insaan word comes from NESEA, which means
to forget, and when in son forgets,
he can forget everything he can forget his Lord, he can forget the
purpose of His creation, he can forget the commandments of Allah
subhanaw taala.
So when that happens,
that in son from that elevated status and rank, he starts to
fall.
Last one, and Allah says in elsewhere in the Quran, he says,
Don't
forget, Otherwise Allah will make you forget yourself, make you
forget who you are.
Plus one on top of Allah takuna Kalinina, NASA Allah for uncertain
and facade.
And don't forget Allah, that's the ultimate forgetfulness
heedlessness. Because then Allah will make you forget yourself,
your humanity, your elevated status, your purpose,
where you are going, what is ahead of you, He will make you forget
all of that he will make you forget you are the elevated inside
and you will drop to the level of animals and worse. And Allah Swan
refers to this in the next time, he said, thumb murder the now as
philosophy from means after having given him this best of form, and
the best potential, the best of his creation, a time passes means
he's given that time to fulfill that purpose, or rather than now.
Rudd means to reject
rather than now whom we rejected him and brought him down. So when
something is rejected, means it's considered inferior. It's
considered something that is not worthy. So it is to be thrown away
to be thrown down. Allah subhanaw taala says that insaan who was
given this elevated status is then thrown down.
He's brought down
and who brings him down Allah subhanaw taala says we bring him
down rather than now.
Rather than now, US philosophically to what level as
well as often suffer, as Fela means.
Is the superlative like accent the best, as for law means lowest of
the loss of law means law.
A smaller soften in those who are brought down the lowest of the
low.
Then some people have said that this refers to the Catherine
demographic in the Jana, because Allah subhanaw taala said that
they are in the dark, as you know the lowest
of the level of Jana. The Mona Lisa, as well as ethylene is also
in this dunya that from that elevated status for which he was
created, the potential was given by his own actions. Allah makes
him fall to the level of where his spirituality defer, disappears,
his spiritual maturity. And he then becomes like an animal whose
purposes only few things eat, drink, sleep, reproduce, animal
existence, he lives like cattle, Allah smart, Allah says, I believe
in Surah RF that they become they are like, Cal Anam. They're like
cattle, no knee, they are lower than cattle, they become worse
worse than cattle like predators.
They harm others, they become like Shayateen
that in son, when he goes up is higher than the angels when he
goes down. He's worse than animals and beasts and he's like the
Shariati.
So Allah Subhana Allah is telling us that if we don't pay attention,
that is what will happen. When we forget who Elias we forget
ourselves, we forget our noble status, we forget our to take care
of our spiritual need, our main focus is only on the here and now
which is the body, the body's needs, the passions, the lower
Neff sunny desires, then there is no difference between us and
animals, no difference. And we see that in society all the time,
people living like animals,
and worse, predatory animals, who harm others to get ahead
themselves. And we have plenty of examples from the highest levels
of governing people to the lowest
criminals evil
is philosophy.
So Allah subhanaw taala then tells us how to combat that how not to
become from the US philosophy in how to maintain that accent it
that Wim the best of creation, that status that Allah granted us,
he says, Ill Alladhina amanu were amylose sought to condition
except
those who do not fall to this level those who have Iman
and will do among solid, good deeds, virtuous deeds, righteous
deeds. So what is Eman here? It is not just any faith, it is
specified
the mania, that's the kind of image that we have the most
important one, which is that are hateful. Last one. We cannot take
to this position, you know, everyone is is is good. Everyone
is is right, you know, if, if it's a good person, you know, Allah
subhanaw taala tells us that the faith has to be right. And the
actions have to be right. If you say my faith is right, and the
actions are not right, and there is a discrepancy, something is
wrong, if you see somebody doing good deeds, but they don't believe
that also doesn't fulfill that criteria. So so, you know, we talk
about, you know, humanity, universal values, yes, universal
values, but universal values will be rewarded in the dunya. Without
the right fate.
There can be atheists who are doing all kinds of good deeds. But
that is not the US philosophy. That's not the one who is
isolated, he has fallen and they will not be rewarded in the
hereafter.
So both the criterias or criteria have to be met. And what is in the
debate of Allah swans are kind of
the belief in the alpha, the belief in the result, the belief
in Rasul Allah, Allah, Allah, Allah says in the Quran, the Day
of Judgment, the life after that, the Jana in the now and the other
brother in Kedah the destiny, that that has to be believed in.
It has to be attested to by the tongue and it has to be
internalized in our hearts.
with certainty with your claim, without any shock, without an
issue, no doubts, no questions. And it has to be manifested by our
actions. If somebody says I believe
and doesn't act accordingly, that's a false claim. And there
are many claim false false. Many people say I love Allah subhanaw
taala, but will not obey the first commandments will not pray salah,
what, if you love Allah subhanaw taala and you don't pray, that
itself is a lie.
If you
say you love Allah subhanaw taala and you are a believer, and you
directly and persistently continue to disobey, do things that Allah
has forbidden, then that's an empty claim. So Iman, has to be in
Nepal, only Allah knows the truth and the sincerity of it and the
pain degree. But we hear it by the gestation of the tongue, when we
say the shahada, and we witnessed it by the actions of people. So
that is one that is an absolute requirement, the internal
requirement and the external requirement to become other than
the US philosophy, lean and go back to Asana. Taquile rise to
that standard, is to show by our actions. So that's externally how
we act, how we look, what we look at, what we don't look at, what we
hear, what we subject ourselves, to what environment, what we
speak, how we speak, the choice of our words, the tone of our words.
What do we do with our hands, what we do with our feet,
what we do with our transactions with each other dealings with each
other, we adopt the clock that is all part of
Allah Saleh, that
simple way of defining our Salah that which Allah has commanded.
That done in the way of sola Allah salAllahu Salam did it with the
intention of pleasing Allah. So that is also
if it is done to show others that becomes real.
That becomes a form of Schick. If it is done in a way other than
Rasulullah sallallahu seldom performed it. That's not accepted.
He showed you how to pray.
You said pray like you have seen me praise No, I love Allah, I know
better, I'm going to do my own. That's not a Mossad.
So we have to be careful of what is a messiah. So Allah subhanaw
taala says, that from that noble status in which Allah created us,
man falls to the lowest of the low except those who have Eman and do
Amazon and there, they do that. And those who do that, for Allah
home therefore then as a consequence for them.
A German Roman non Agile is a recompense reward something that's
given wages, something that's given in lieu what you've done in
exchange, asure reward, little Mamnoon one that does not end that
is not cut off Mamnoon that is continuous without ending. Now,
it's interesting if you look at it, when you do Amal Salah it
comes to an end.
The action itself comes to an end, no action can you do continuously
forever.
Even if you aren't in Salah 24 hours a day till you die, it comes
to an end.
But the reward for even one Salah is never ending this is colossal
Panatela generosity, ladle Mamnoon continuous, never ending.
And Allah subhanaw taala has not said here that this is only in the
Accra because sometimes we feel or this must be Allah subhanaw taala
referring to the after of course and it's in the Afra because only
there there is eternity. But those rewards for Eman and Mo Salah will
be witnessed in this life.
People will see the reward of that in their life in the peace in
their lives in the Sakeena.
In Allah Swanton the reward of making them even better Muslims,
more compliant with more is the farmer with more reckless makes
them more generous, better worship. That's the reward Allah
subhanaw taala is showing them and removes anxiety
It is in what is an all of those in this life.
And then there is the reward at the time of death,
you're not seeing horrific scenes and you're not seeing molecule
Moulton is true form coming to extract and the the soul being
extracted like like silk cloth being pulled across a thorn bush,
but like a hair pulled out from from liquid butter or from honey
with the angels ready to receive. So at the death at the time of
death, the angels will come to console and say this yield over
your your your soul, because we were your companions and now see
what is coming ahead of you what Allah has prepared. So this this
agile viral Mamnoon is at the time of death, then there is agile in
the grave, because the grave as we know is either a pit from the from
the pits of *, or it's a garden from the garden of Jannah it's a
preview. So the reward is in the buzzer in the green.
Then on the Day of Judgment, the two are treated differently so
that agile continues you're given shade you are given water on a day
where there is no shade where there is no water where the fire
is not brought near you.
You are in the elite, you know salvia Kona Saba cone up in front
of Allah subhanaw taala or as how will you mean so they're the
reward shows and ultimately the reward shows in the Agora in the
Jana So, clueless one Allah says those who lead their lives with
iman as we defined with observing properly those are kind of Eman
and Amal Salah as we defined for them, they will be elevated to
where they should be accidentally toppling, they will be prevented
from being us philosophically in the lowest of the know. And for
them. It is a continuous reward that is eternal, never ends
because there is no limit to the treasures of Allah.
Rasool Allah Salah listen teaches us that if all of mankind and all
of jinn kind from the first to the last were to gather together in a
plane, and ask Allah subhanaw taala for everything that they
ever desired, list everything. And Allah smart Allah to grant them
everything that each one wanted, that was ever created, it would
not diminish his treasures as much as a needle not even as equal to
as much as a needle dipped into the ocean. What did extract the
water from it? So Allah smart Allah is treasures as rewards are
eternal.
So this is what Allah Subhana Allah is telling us is ahead. But
we have to lead our lives according to what Allah created us
for, as the best of his creation, and not to forget that otherwise,
befall. As he said, we will make you forget who you are, and you
will then become the lives of cattle and beasts.
And the last is our last one Allah says sama you can the book bag to
be Dean. So let's take the word thing. This Dean has two meanings.
One then means the judgment because we Maliki yo MIT Dean, the
word Dean is used as the day of Master of the Day of Judgment. So
if we take that meaning Allah subhanaw taala sang for man, then
what you can Viehbacher is making you
deny
the day of judgment means all of these evidences have been put
forward. Then what is it? You know? It's a rhetorical question.
I mean, it's so obvious how can you still deny that?
The other
translation integration petition of the word Dean is Dean, the dean
that is mentioned in the beginning by reference by Athena What
zaytoun By by the moose Musala salams. The SLS alums Dean Ibrahim
Celestron, they know Allah Salam Dean and the dean of Rasulullah
sallallahu alayhi salam, it's one day just continuing discontinuous,
that that truth which was sent on which the odds were taken in the
beginning
that then what would make
them denied this?
What then would make them deny this and if you got the bokeh if
use that deny you, Ya Rasulullah sallallahu. So if you take it in
reference to
The McCanns that after all of this evidence, what is it that makes
them deny you? Your Messenger ship? Your message? Your the
revelation that's been given to you
means it's so strange that with all of this evidence, what can
make them deny this the truth of the deen and the truth of the Day
of Judgment
Elisa law, me Africa mill Hakim Allah Swan by law asks a question
that is not Allah.
Hola salaam, Camille Hakim in
now.
Hakim also has two meanings. One is to do with judgment. So is not
Allah come Will Hakimi the best of all judges.
If you take the first the Dean as referring to the Day of Judgment,
then Allah subhanaw taala is asking that there is that day of
judgment isn't. It's not a lot the best of judges. In other words,
this is also a warning that nothing will be hidden. No
evidence will be hidden, we will be called to witness against
ourselves. And the judgment is going to be perfect because in
this dunya we witness all the time, injustice being done and
it's not addressed. Criminals get away. Murderers get away mass
murderers get away, diamonds get away
and seem to have apparently successful lives
and rule for decades and kill do genocide.
Yes, there is a day of judgment and allies come on hacking,
everything will be addressed that day, nothing will be left unturned
and no rights would have been violated without being compensated
on that. And the compensation on that day is not going to be in
dollars and cents. So, this is one way of looking at it the other.
If you take the meaning of the as the religion, that Allah subhanaw
taala out of his wisdom centers, the religion the guide, as you
mentioned again by mentioning those prophets, the oral asmin the
beginning indirectly by the placing sacred places, if we say
that, then what makes them them deny this Deen then which is is
not Allah, the wisest of the wise one is the most judge of have was
just of judges and the wisest from Heckman of the wise in his
infinite wisdom, He created us as the best he lowered us rejected us
to the lowest for those who did not fulfill the purpose and he
guided us to take that path as you know, we had no knowledge then we
guided you to those two paths for lokta Herman Acaba, he did not
elevate climb that because he is going as well as going down. So,
is not Allah, the wisest of the lies? And is not Allah the most
just on judges.
So, when a question like this is is asked, the obvious answer is,
of course, Allah is the most just of all judges is the Wiser sort of
the wise. So, when this this format, Elisa, is always reply to
when you confirm yes, your Allah you are the wisest, and you are
the most just, we, the prophets of Allah Islam taught us that when
you come to this, if you say Bella, Bella is the way of saying,
Yes, we can follow.
And indeed, I Anna, Allah Delica Minh Ushahidi, and I
am a witness to this. The Prophet sallallaahu Salam said that when
you you read this if then respond by saying this Bella, indeed you
are, yes, you are the wises. And I am among those who bear witness to
this.
So, in summary, Allah subhanaw taala has told us our status,
first is brought our focus to this truth of who we are, by taking
oats on sacred places,
in indirectly relating to the sacred, the most noble of Allah's
creation, man and among the men the oil as in the best of
messengers.
As we said, reference to rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam
Ibrahim Malasana Musa al Islam inside Salam and by one
interpretation, no malice
the best of Allah's mess creation, man, the best of his creation, the
Russell
and among the Rasul
the owner of as the five, Allah tells us gives us that standard
that this is the standard
this is who you are, this is how I created you I gave you that
potential.
Now, if you ignore that you forget that you will fall and you will
fall and you will fall to a level worse than animals and you have no
one to blame except yourself.
And here Allah Samantha law says what are the now that we actively
Allah subhanaw taala didn't say they will fall by themselves you
know, you know what's called Mabuni module means passively, no,
this is actively because Allah has made the law even he tells us that
if you forget, we will make you forget that this is a consequence
of our actions. Okay.
It Allah is in control. The following is not because Allah
created us defective. He created us as an attack way. The following
is because we subjected ourselves we lowered ourselves to lower than
who
we are,
we are the best, but we want to be low.
And that's why Allah subhanaw taala tells us the consequences
and tells us that this we've we we counter this with iman and Amal
salah, and this inshallah will be discussed in greater detail and
Sula Surah Al Asad that we will do next in more detail about this
image and I'm outside. And then the last one fella tells us about
the continuous agile. And the Agile goes the other way also,
that if you follow us philosophically, the consequence
of data is also eternal, continuous.
And Allah does not draw any
we will get what we deserve. We choose our destiny in this way. Of
course, in our choice in our actions, we know that it is a lot
of Allah who gives us who guides us it is Allah subhanaw taala who
gives us dough feet and ability does Allah subhanaw taala who
gives us the bat, steadfastness in doing things? It's not just one
day, you know? Now it's in the other hand, good. It is day of
Arafah I'm good. And then it's after three days everything is
business as usual. Not every day should be like
we had the 10 greatest days that Allah has created in the year. And
we all you know compete and strive to do good.
Wouldn't you like to be like a person when these 10 days come,
and nothing changes in your life
and the right way, which means that you were already doing all of
what you want to do on those day, every day of your life.
So we asked him SWANA Tala to make us those who recognize the truth
as the truth. And Allah is the most truthful, and the most
truthful of words, are his words, and the most truthful of
messengers and is Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam you the
best of his creation, that we take that and we internalize that and
act upon that, and we always
humble in front of Allah subhanaw taala that no matter what I do, it
is not good enough. It is not sufficient. And I depend on your
forgiveness, and your
your generosity, your benevolence, your reward, and I need your help.
I'm a fapy I'm always in need of your help to continue in my path.
And we do this sincerely. And we do this with helping each other
and supporting each other. And Inshallah, if we live our lives on
this, then we will die in that state of Islam. And we will be
raised with the true Muslims on the day of judgment. And we will
be presented as the upright tomorrow Rasulullah Salallahu
Salam behind him and in front of him and he will will feed us He
will give us water from Gotha from his hold
with his own noble hands. So those who aspire for that have to live
their lives
to be able to to encounter him there.
To be able to be eligible for his, his intercession,
mass we ask Allah subhanaw taala to make us among those, to give us
an Eman that never decreases. And he man that is full of certainty
and your pain.
And I'm all silos that are done to the best of our ability with the
class and in fully tiba of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam and
Amal Salah that are accepted by Allah smelter and that she keep us
away from everything that lowers our standard that takes us lower
than what he created us to be. And we ask Allah subhanaw taala this
for the entire amount of Surah masala is for our families for our
parents or grandparents or aunts and uncles, our spouses, our
children,
our companions, our friends, our neighbors, made last month Allah
accept from us, especially in these glorious days, holy days of
the Kinja and may Allah subhanaw taala continue to bless us with
His acceptance and help us to understand his words and
internalize them to the best of our abilities. So Hanna can Lahoma
