So don't worry, don't worry about a cartoon
Bismillah
Alhamdulillah wa Salatu was Salam ala Rasulillah Allah Allah He was
happy woman. Voila.
A long Laughter My Samia alumina lytic Rick.
We praise Allah subhanaw taala and we sent Peace and blessings on his
beloved messenger
our Molana
Rasool allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
in this blessed month of raviolo Well,
in which Allah subhanaw taala chose to send
the best of his creation,
as a mercy to all the worlds
as a guide, as a teacher, par excellence
as a
character unsurpassed in excellence
as the best of husbands as the best of fathers as the best of
guides as the best of friends
as the best of well wishers,
the best of the Habad of Allah subhanaw taala
the best of the Gambia in the mursaleen the prophets and
messenger
mail last one on Tala ennoble his status
on the day of judgment and in the agora, and make us worthy
followers of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
the love of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam demands that we
know him
that we know everything about him that we know him better than we
know our own children and our own parents.
That we know him better than we know ourselves.
Because the more we know about Rasulullah sallallahu sallam,
the more we will love him, because to know him is to love him.
And to love him
is to want to emulate him to be like him to follow him
to the best of our imperfect abilities.
So, in this blessed month, we ask Allah subhanaw taala to bless us
again
by feeling the presence of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi salam
in our hearts
and in our lives and in our homes.
And to see reflections of his character in our character
and to take
as beloved what he loved
and to leave aside what he left aside
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
was described
and we hear about his physical descriptions in the Shemitah about
his habits.
And someone asked our mother Aisha Radi Allahu anha.
What was the Prophet salallahu alayhi salam like
and she knew Him
in every aspect of life,
private public from a very young age.
Till the moment Allah subhanaw taala took him
and at that moment, his noble head was resting on her lap.
So she described him
in a very simple summative statement, he said, he was the
walking poor.
So if you want to walk like him, we need to know the Quran.
Otherwise, where are we going to walk?
And that's why we gather We ask Allah Subhana Allah to bless this
gathering to bless this host to blood and their family, and to
bless all of those who came and those who could not attend live
with an understanding of his book
and this is our gathering here is not because of any of our
abilities are for because of our schedules, or because of our
plans.
We are here for this gathering purely as a Ratner
As a blessing from Allah subhanaw.
Otherwise 100 different hurdles can come and you can plan and then
it doesn't come through. So we thank Allah subhanaw taala for
allowing us to be present here and now for his remembrance to study
his book.
So what we have chosen for study today is the 55th Surah of the
Quran,
which is a rock man.
And I know it's a favorite of many people. Because it sounds so
beautiful, even for those
who don't understand it.
Recently
a friend of my eldest sister
was dying, and she is a non Muslim.
So she was very restless in her hospital bed.
So my sister decided to play for her on her phone.
The recitation of Surah Ragnar.
Then she calmed down.
And she said, It's so beautiful. She said, play it for me again,
and leave a recording here so I can keep hearing it.
So that's a good story. But the question is, what does the
recitation of Surah Rahman do to my type? That's the ultimate
question.
And if that's just the baraka of the hearing it what should it do
if we understand it?
So the majority of
scholars of the Quran have said this, this is a makansutra,
revealed when the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was in
Makkah, among the Quraysh, undergoing hardships and
difficulty and obstruction and, and opposition and ridicule by the
Koresh, which is the Macan periods summary.
And
the style of the surah suggests that it's McCann, but there are a
few opinions that are part of it. Or some say even all of it may
have been revealed in Medina, this is just a difference of opinion.
But the majority say it's a makansutra.
And
it has been called the bride of the
young ladies, Why would something when you say something is the
bride, what does it bring to your mind?
I don't want you to imagine that you are a bride. You're too young
for that. But what does it mean?
A bride means there is a celebration somebody is getting
married. And who is the center of attraction who is the most
beautiful, most decorated in that whole gathering?
The bride, not the bridegroom, right? The bride. So this one way
of saying that this is such a beautiful Surah
it's like the bride of the Quran
and the name of the surah as you know starts is a rock man. And
that is derived from the first of 78 Iots that is what this surah is
now
Bismillah R Rahman Rahim Allah we live in a shape on rajim Bismillah
R Rahman r Rahim Allah subhanaw taala starts the surah
are right
Stop
stop.
In English grammar we have what's called subject and predicate
something. The subject predicate means something about them the
news
there is a subject here or Rockman.
And nothing after that. So what does that do? This is the style
that Allah subhanaw taala uses. Because when everybody hears that,
alright man, then you pay attention. What?
What are we saying about our man?
But it pauses
the rest of the surah is the predicate is the news of who our
rock man is. And what a rush man is.
All the rest of the surah can come under that
tells us about our right man.
So the first question is,
what does our man mean to you? Let's ask,
what does it mean to our host?
Rob My name is
Allah is merciful.
When I reflect upon Redman, I reflect upon there was two names
historically mentioned about himself was a random mind and a
last one.
So, there are specific names of Allah, which are independent of
everything else, and no one else can be named
that the two names are what
a law
and order right man. So this is actually the vat, the being of
Allah Spanner.
And we can go over what it implies and what it means. As we know we
start every Surah with Bismillah in the name of AR Rahman, and
Rahim two names are Hain is also a name of Allah is a name of Allah,
but doesn't have the same level as a rush man.
So
our Rockman in its Arabic form is what's called Save upon mobile
Abba means or hyperbole means something in its exaggerated form.
To do with Russia, Russia means what Rama means to have
compassion,
to care, to have mercy,
to love, to care to take all of those are encompassed in the word
Rama, it is not just mercy, because in the English language,
Mercy just means you're going to punish somebody but you showed
mercy. It is more than that. Okay?
Allahu Akbar Allah.
So the word or Rockman has to do with the absolute drachma of Allah
subhanaw taala. It is an exhibition of his grace and it's a
unique name of Allah subhanaw taala. In its most intense and
superlative, in other words, if you could imagine a Rama could be
put in a bowl, it would be overflowing, endless.
That is the Mercy, the love, the caring of Allah subhanaw taala and
the source of all of that raw man, that's where all of the money that
you see in the world comes from.
From Allah. There is actually a hadith about this. The Prophet
salallahu Alaihe Salam said
that, Allah subhanaw taala man, this is an example has 100 parts.
And one part
of that drama is all the drama the mercy that you see in the world.
Human beings, gins animals, everyone that is showing mercy to
the little ones to others, all that mercy that you see in the
world is like one part of Allah's Rama and he has kept 99 to himself
in a way. Even that is an example because Allah's lemma is not 99 to
one, it's infinite.
But it's just to make us understand that.
So this word, are Rockman in its form, the way it is, is a specific
name of Allah subhanaw taala and everyone else who names themselves
has to name themselves as Abdul Rahman or amateur man, whatever.
But you can say rock man and you can have rock man as a last name.
Okay? It has to be up the rock man because this is Allah.
Allah and just like nobody's going to name themselves Allah. They
will say Abdullah
or something like that
alone.
So as we say it is part of his being Allah
Allah says in the Quran, Allah, Allah, a with or rock man.
Say O Muhammad sallallahu alayhi salam invoke call Allah or call
him a rough man. See ya allah Yara
a young man or fella who a smart one, either of those any he has To
Him belongs to the most beautiful names, but these are specific
names.
And this man does not have a plural because it's absolute in
itself it does not have a doer
no to.
So,
Rama also has another term that is linked with it, which is called in
Arabic ROM. Anybody know what Rama is in Arabic.
the womb of the mother, the uterus, their stomach, your snot
stomach, the womb of the mother.
That Allah subhanaw taala has connected the womb of the mother
with Rama with his name.
Now if you think what does the womb provide
nutrition center
provides nutrition and
safety
generations
provides an environment for growth for development, nutrition,
comfort, safety, protection, even music is playing in their home,
you know what music is playing what they're hearing
the heartbeat of the mother.
And that gives them comfort.
Because they can't see but they can hear.
Okay,
so
the womb imagine creating an environment that allows you to
grow to your maximum capacity to your best potential.
So our rock man provides us everything we need, not just in
the RAM, but outside of the home,
to be
and to reach our best potential as the best of his creation. Human
beings
will take a little aside
the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam said
that ram the womb, Allah gave him the ability to speak in a way in
his way
complained to Allah Spanner
that you have connected me with to you by by your name.
But there are people who don't maintain the ties of the ram you
know what the ties of the Rahama family ties, brothers and sisters,
aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews.
So Allah subhanaw taala satisfied the RAM by saying that I will join
with those who joined the ties of the ham and I will cut off from
those who cut off ties of what does that mean?
It is an obligation for us to remain connected with our family
members.
And it's very important living in this environment where nobody
knows anybody.
I see people who have five children living in the area when
did you see your last which see your child last I haven't seen
anyone in three years.
This is cutting off from the Russian
something happens we argue with a sibling or a cousin and we say I
will never talk to you again. You've cut off with them. They
imagine if Allah cut off from us because of that.
So just remember, this is just on the side that one of our
fundamental duties is to keep connected with our families.
Now all of the i arts end with a certain pattern in this
surah
what is that pattern
and
and the work when you add on too many things, it gives it to dual
form. In Arabic we have singular, plural and dual which we don't
have for two
okay. So when Allah subhanaw taala says in this ayah there is an
idea, which is repeated over and over and over again in the Surah
for a special purpose. What is that?
I am
Furby aka
rugby coma to cut the ban.
What is the real translation of this?
Now you missed the point, the word you in English means singular. It
also means plural.
But what does
Rob boo,
cool man?
Which of the favours of the Lord? Do you to deny?
That's the correct meaning, both of you deny to who are the boats
that are being addressed in this surah managing the two creations
of Allah, mankind and jinn kind, why are they being addressed?
Because they are the only two creations who took a choice
to obey and disobey
the only two that will be judged on the Day of Judgment, okay.
So, every time you hear this, Allah is addressing it in dual
form, okay, just remember that.
And of course, it makes it sound very melodious, because it all
rhymes beautifully.
So, why is this idea
for the word firm means then, or, you know, something is mentioned
then says firm means after mentioning Then
which of the favors the grace of your Lord do both of you deny
Allah, the word Allah means, favors, means grace, the bounty of
Allah subhanaw taala and we are going to talk about those one by
one. Because all of this is,
in a way leading back to what it started with Arash, man because
all of the Grace of Allah, all the bounty, all the love of Allah are
because he is a rock man.
And Arash man is an all inclusive term, whereas a Rahim is a more
particularized like, Rahim Allah shows Rama to the believers. But
man's mercy is for everyone, every creature, including the
disbelievers,
including the ones who denied him, including the one who claimed and
Allah, I am Allah Who was that
surround Pharaoh, you know, what do you say I am Allah I am God.
So, how can you say Allah had mercy on him or Rama had mercy?
What is the evidence that Allah had mercy on Iran
Kingdom
kingdom he had Yes.
He had all the wealth all the all the trappings of the dunya but
more than that,
the day said, I am Allah Allah subhanaw taala could have snatched
him like that. finished him.
So it was his Rama that he gave him a long life. It was his Rama
that he sent Musala salaam to him again and again and again. To call
him to the truth with nine different signs nine different
times. That says to one who's saying um, God, otherwise, you
should have been like a fly, squatted out like that.
Even with your own Allah subhanaw taala because he is alright.
So one day, it is narrated that the Prophet salallahu Alaihe
Salam, either himself was reciting, or he had some of his
companions were reciting this, and others were listening.
And this idea kept being repeated. And they listened quiet like we
listen.
And then the prophets are the loyalists, and I'm saying, why is
it
that I don't see any response from you.
You keep hearing this.
Why is it that the jinns responded better than you and he's telling
this to his companions to the US hub? Because they were listening
to this for a year
Fabia yella
Arabic, Serbia Uriel, capitalist capitalism. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi salam said that on the night of the jinn when I recited
the surah to the jinns
every time I said for a year, Allah Arabic humor to cut the
band, they responded. They didn't sit quietly. They said, levy shame
and Namaka Robina Luca de boo, follicle count. They said, None of
your favors, do we deny our Lord, for you is all.
Every time this game they said we don't deny any of your favors
hand.
In other words, they responded because this is such a thing Allah
saying your deny.
To know we do not deny. It's an acknowledgement. It also tells us
that we should respond to the Quran. The Prophet sallallahu
Sallam used to when he was reciting the Quran, even in Salah.
He would respond to it for example, whenever an IR came of
the spear of Allah subhanaw taala your sub definitely learned, he
will notice b i as of hum the game he will do Hum I as of tech bill
came of his of his Kibriya he would say Allahu Akbar i as off of
Jana, when he was reciting, he would ask for gin. When I as of
the fire of punishment would come around, he would seek a lots
protection from that. So we have to interact with the Quran.
So Allah subhanaw taala says are rough man, we everybody has some
idea of can we encompass this or Rockman?
No.
We can really talk about some things because it's limitless. Our
minds if we put all of our minds of all human beings, we still
can't encompass Allah's, what Ramadan is who our man is.
So Allah subhanaw taala says, All right, man, now you keep that in
your mind
that everything that's going to come is related to that. So the
first favor that Allah subhanaw taala described who our man is, he
says, how level four.
Level four,
he taught
the
Allah
How is this a mercy to you?
Just Zakia love it. That is the best knowledge because it is the
words of Allah Himself.
There is no greater
we will don't even want to say book but there are no greater
words than the words of Allah Himself.
There is no greater guidance in the guidance of Allah subhanaw
taala there is no greater law than the law philosophy
which is all encompassed in Quran. The Quran tells you stories of the
past as lessons in a style that's unique. It tells you events of the
future that nobody can tell, you know, a soothsayer can tell you
know, fortune teller. And he gives you pictures of those scenes that
are going to come
described in detail. That's the makes laws for you for your
protection and my protection so that we can lead good lives. So
the Quran is the summary of everything. Now suppose the Quran
was taken away? What would happen?
Think of your own life.
Somebody might say,
I could lead my life anyway. I want total freedom. Yes. No
guidance, no values, no virtues, do whatever you want. total chaos.
Can you imagine a world where there were no laws of any kind.
If you just shut all the lights off in the traffic circles, guess
what will happen? Just one thing and remove all the other laws.
You can kill you can still you can do whatever you want, who would
have safety who would be alive except the criminals and guess
what's going to happen?
One day Allah will lift the Quran
that's one of the last things before he destroys the dunya
and when the Quran is lifted, it is
The hadith said it will even be lifted from the pages but before
that it will be lifted from the hearts of people. And those who
had memorized will be taken by Allah. No Quran exists. And then
he said, who will remain the worst of the worst.
And on them, the piano will come
when the skies torn apart and orbits are gone, and the stars and
the sun has lost its flight and the monocytes and the mountains
are in Smithereens and the oceans are boiled over all of that.
Everything is exploding. Quran is taken away.
So if the Quran is taken away from my heart,
which is like a piano has come to me
that's how much we should value the Quran.
LML Quran
he taught the Quran, they teach you the Quran
did he teach you the?
He says he does.
How
can we hear from someone else?
Through the prophets, Allah Allah listen.
We just started with that introduction. He sent the script
and the walking example of the Quran. So you're gonna Rasool
allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam
who taught you the Quran? He was taught by Allah, directly and
through Jibreel La Silla.
over 23 years. He didn't send it as a book. Can you imagine if
you're given the whole book at one time, what it would be like,
gradually? What does that tell us? That we should also learn the
Quran gradually, but progressively, we can also learn
it can we learn it in 23 years? It's
Yes, we can. If we still have 23 years left, those who don't like
myself need to put it on fast forward a little bit right. We
have wasted our lives many of us. We don't know except the bulk of
the Quran on the top shelf. I don't know if it's on the top
shelf. Yes, I see one of
the Quran should not be on the shelves.
Remember, board meetings they say let's shelve this idea. Let's put
it away for later. The Quran should never be shelved. It should
always be open.
In our hands, in our minds and especially in our hearts.
So, Allah subhanaw taala made all the arrangements to bring this
Quran this ultimate guidance to us through sayonara Surah allah
sallallahu Sallam who taught it and Allah subhanaw taala preserved
the Quran as he says, known as the Nicaraguan
we know national
what is the idea that we have national in non
vichara
work in
the half alone
Okay, the indeed We have revealed it and we will protect it. And he
protected the understanding of the Quran as Rasulullah sallallahu has
taught us so it's not open to my knifes the way I want to see it
the way I want to interpret it fitted in my life and change
things, okay? Because the way I like it make my life more
comfortable. It was explained to us and it was preserved and it has
come to us and it is now taught to us through our teachers.
This is all part of that. Allah Al Quran that this is an ongoing
favor, that every generation is taught the Quran that Allah is
teaching every generation the Quran by making that provision.
It's after this great favor and last one Allah goes to the next
idea he says
holla concern he alone created inside
he alone created incense. That means your creation
came after the Quran existed
before the Quran existed in the love my food. Okay in that guarded
tablet that we don't know anything about except its name.
And then Allah subhanaw taala sent it down as we need it according to
our needs.
Hello, Carl insane, this is another description of all
Rockman. His His favor that she created you?
What is the favor, he says,
Hello, in Santa Fe, sign it up when we created you in the best
form. Allah subhanaw taala has praised the human being as the
best of his creation. So isn't that a favor of a rush man on us?
Now you can reflect on each of these.
What went into that creation
of other Melissa, that we don't know that she created that will
come. But what we know of creation is what
we have one cell from the mother, one cell from the Father to
invisible cells that we can't even see they come together.
And we are seeing the product sitting here.
What it took, what processes it took, what forms it took, what it
has produced in different parts of our bodies, there's a brain
there's a heart there is a liver, there's lungs, there's limbs,
there's the ears, there's the eyes from those single cells, which
differentiate into so many things.
Can you imagine if you had an orange and the orange was
transformed into the world?
How can orange become a word? How did we more complicated the earth
come from a little cell?
Or rash man?
So what I want you to do when you go home, the whole assignment is
that for each one of these reflect on the blessing of the Quran,
reflect on what it took for it to come to us.
Through the heavens, what changes what the angels went through the
Quran is coming.
What gates were opened, you know
what black holes you know, what wormholes in the heavens through
which the Quran came, we have no idea it came
and how it was preserved.
And then reflect and this is easier to reflect because this is
in the seen world color palette inside how we are created.
Even those who haven't studied science can read in Google
the creation of a human being
is there any other career
halacha lens,
then Allah subhanaw taala distinguished this insight by the
next time he says I love a hole by
and he enabled him taught him by and what is beyond the ability to
communicate the ability to express yourself
when we express ourselves with our tongues with our words, but we
also express ourselves with
facial with the eyes because these days we with our eyes we're
wearing masks
with facial expressions with a body language
all of that is in by hand.
That Allah subhanaw taala gave the human beings that level of
communication of language that is not seen in any other office
creation.
How many languages do we forget about anything else? Just count
the numbers of languages. Does anybody know?
That or something like that dialects. I've forgotten I've done
some work on it before and how many 1000s have become extinct
okay, I love a whole band. Allah subhanaw taala taught us these
languages. He taught us the expressions and all of that.
And who did he teach first?
Salaam was taught directly by Allah subhanaw taala every the
names of everything that even the angels did not know.
Allah is the best of teachers. He says Allah Al Quran he is the best
teacher
as Allah has man and the best teacher from his creatures from
his creation is Rasulullah sallallahu.
So this ban is another thing you should reflect on.
I was reflecting on these things yesterday I said
The true value of these things
can be somewhat understood, we still don't,
if we imagine, we lost it.
Suppose you lost the ability to talk, or communicate or to
understand. And this happens, we see this
in the medical field, especially in my specialty, where people come
in with aphasia.
In a way they can talk, they know what they want to say nothing
comes out all the other kinds of effects. They're hearing all of
you, but it makes no sense. Or one that includes global effects they
can understand they can hear now what is the existence of this
verse?
If Allah were to take us away, take this away, how much would be
appreciated?
I mean, right now we talk about the gift of the gab, you know, we
talk talk talk, we love to talk.
One of my young students might say, well, if I lost the ability
to talk,
I can still text.
And there are devices that can convert the text into voice. Well,
guess what?
When you have global aphasia, you can't even text you can't form the
words.
There is no getting away from the blessings of Allah.
So I reflect on this, that my ability to communicate, my ability
to show love, to show caring, to console somebody, to help somebody
to advise somebody, everything else, to show my child that I love
them, to show my parents that I respect and honor them, it's all
gone.
Then Allah subhanaw taala after reminding us of these personal
favors, of guidance, of creating us and giving us this ability to
talk, Allah subhanaw taala
then asks us to look around us in the universe.
Next is
a shunt shumsa will come through, because
everybody knows what shum says, in the sun. In the coma, the moon, he
was bad. He was bad. Again, the two I mentioned as was bad means
they have
a computed
settled, balanced,
or bit movement that Allah has created
comes from hisab, which is calculated, perfectly timed.
The movements of the sun and the moon are perfect. From the time 14
billion years ago, 14 point 6 billion whatever they estimated,
till Allah brings it to an end. It will work in perfection.
If the Sun or the Moon were to divert from that track by
1,000,000,000,000th of a degree.
In a billion years,
everything would come to
now Allah subhanaw taala mentions this sun in the moon, do we take
the sun as a blessing?
In the wintertime? Yes. Or if he'd had a week of cloud and read the
sun comes out? Do we take it as a blessing. Now put the same formula
if the sun were taken away? What would happen?
Simplest first thing that would happen is darkness. And then after
that
every freeze, everything will cease to exist, the plants will
die, the animals will die, we will die, everything will be finished.
If the Moon were taken away, what would happen?
Same thing would happen. Why? Because the gravitational pull of
that moon that pulls that does whatever 16 degrees or so that
gives us our seasons and gives us those things that manages the
tides
will change the atmosphere to that degree that stone? In a few years
everything would die
Now how else are the Sun and Moon intimately linked in our lives?
On a daily basis
calendars dates time what else?
Seasons what else?
Not physical in here
you are called to Allah subhanaw taala five times depending on what
a moment of the Sun
the most important act of a bada is linked to the sun in a way
we're not worshipping the sun Allah said he created them don't
in fact he says don't worship the sun in the moon worship me to
create
How about the moon? Is that related to you?
Calendar what else
same Obadiah of Allah subhanaw taala
to more blessed to more duties that we have to Allah subhanaw
taala dependent on the moon whatever they come on, we argue
about it all the time.
Not the the Ramadan, you want to go to the one desert before doing
any work, Ramadan and
Hajj.
So three of four acts of Ibadah are linked to the sun and the
moon.
So is that not a manifestation of
that through this? It facilitates us to worship him and fulfill the
purpose for which we are created.
When Nigel was sheduled who yesterday and
Nigel the singular as opposed to new June Allah subhanaw taala says
and the star but here min stars and Szeged are trees that have
hard stems. Trunks
yesterday, what does that mean?
They prostrate they do Sajida to Allah subhanaw taala however,
there is one other meaning of the word najem. Anybody know that?
Yes.
Yes.
foliage, bushes that don't have Hearthstone. So, all the herbs,
all of that the bushes that don't have hard stems, Najim is also
used. So there are people who have said, if you can take it both
ways, the stars and the trees and the trees and the bushes, they all
yesterday then means they worship Allah subhanaw taala.
Now you might say,
how do they worship?
Have you seen trees in Sajida? Other than when they break or
after a storm?
One is one is by the shadows.
Do you think if the tree had the ability to go on such that like we
do and stand back up? Do you think they would do that? Absolutely.
But Allah kept them like that.
But Allah subhanaw taala says, you sit down in Lima fish, somehow it
will or whatever.
Everything that you know that you don't know from the rocks, to the
fish, to the stars, to the angels, to the gins, to the cells of
everything.
They glorify dutas V of Allah subhanaw taala they worship Allah.
But he says, but you do not understand
law if you do not understand that.
If we had been given the frequencies to understand what the
trees are saying, when you hear the leaves rustling, you don't
know what they're saying. When you hear the door open key. You don't
know what it's saying. When you hear the door shut with a bank.
You don't know what they're saying, when you do this.
You don't know what that is.
Everything's in Tasbeeh we don't understand it.
One other way in which they are interest because be means in
worship and glorification of Allah. Everything
is that Allah subhanaw taala says that I have created every
thing to be of service to
who men asked Anita when the best of my creation.
So we are
the top of the pyramid
and the fact that all Creation serves us and is available to us,
whether it's an elephant who is 15 or 50 times your power, who use
you subjugate and who will obey you,
to everything else
is for your service.
That is their way of worshipping one way in which they worship
Allah because Allah created them to serve human beings.
So, they are serving human beings by allowing themselves to be used,
whichever way this
creature wants
said if all of them are serving Allah subhanaw taala and
worshiping Him by being subjugated to us should not the one who is at
the top of the pyramid
worship Allah
so this is another thing to reflect. This is another thing
where we should not like as kids, you know, we see bushes if nothing
else ebrake a leaf.
My dear child that leave wasn't as we have a rush.
We see some bugs, we just stamp on them, the ends know who you are,
what is the proof of that?
They said the army of Sunni marry Salaam is coming. And what they
might do, unknowingly. They even know that the army of Solomon or
they Salah would not kill us knowingly, they say, without
knowing that we are so run.
Every creature knows what's our reflex, when we see a bug of some
kind, killing
synthesis, we have Allah subhanaw taala leave it to no
unless it's going to harm you directly, you feel that then you
are permitted. But with that, not as a as a pastime, not for
fun.
And let's get the frogs out. Let's see how hard we can hit it on the
pavement.
They are creatures of Allah,
they are interested from us.
So let us be
aware of this, that everything is industry of Allah, everything the
trees, only two things I mentioned, the stars, the trees,
bushes, they do search the farms
I think we will end this with having covered whatever six or
seven irons that we've covered. Because I don't want to rush
through this, we need to reflect on each one. And now that we've
gotten some framework,
you have a whole month to practice and think of each one
of the favors of Allah. And if we reflect on those favors, what's
going to happen to our hearts
even if a human being does one thing good.
Let me just give you an example. I have a new secretary in my office
in this week. Every time she sends a message she puts a little smiley
face and
so I appreciated that I didn't tell her that but I appreciate
that. So little things that people do.
Now when you look at all and Allah is above all comparisons, if you
look at all the favors What will your heart fee
gratitude, shocker. Yeah Allah I am certainly not deserving of this
and the only reason this is coming all I'm drowning in your blessing,
because you are
a rock
Alright man, so that man when we hear rich should give such joy to
our hearts if somebody is feeling depressed
think of our man and everything will go
because even no matter how difficult the situation is, it has
come from our man so it must have some goodness that I can see in
it.
So please reflect on those. We are going to
end here
for this particular session, and inshallah hope
It's been of some use
to some of us Hamdulillah I found that useful for myself and
ultimately, that's the most important because if I don't
benefit and if everybody else benefits then I am the Greatest
Loser, you know like that show greatest user.
So may Allah subhanaw taala except the coming and understanding of
this and may facilitate for us and open our hearts to his, his
bounties to understand them, to reflect on them properly, and to
reflect we need time alone and quiet in sha Allah to do that and
reflect don't go through let me read the whole thing, one word one
iota and reflect and reflect and ponder and then internalize it.
And like I said, you may use that's what I use. What if I lost
this? What would my life be like?
So Haleakala the hammock, Nisha de la ilaha, Elana, structural, one
or two
