Till our means to read, to internalize it in our hearts
and to implement and act upon it, okay? It's not just reading.
So, we need to have a working relationship with the Quran, we
have to ask ourselves what is my relationship with the Quran?
Because it should be transformational. It should make
me into a true act of Allah subhanaw taala okay, what Allah
created me for.
Now some have said that if your reading your tilava of the Quran
does not stop you from what Allah has not liked for you, then you
are really not doing tilava of the Quran. Okay.
So remember when we do Tila of the Quran, we are talking about the
words of Allah we are reflecting on the words of ALLAH and when we
remember Allah subhanaw taala as we said, In the beginning, Allah
remembers you and the people of the Quran Allah in some of the
narration have been have been called like, Allah has no family
but
like a family of Allah because they're so close to him.
And there are many many further I'll have reading reflecting on
the Quran and all of you know from simplest, easiest one that every
every alphabet that you read, has done Hassan out with just the
rewards and don't say that Alif Lam. Meem is one alif is one lamb
is one and Mimi is one like things like there are many that the Quran
has a lot of blessings.
Ultimate goal is hedaya of guidance.
Even Ambassador the Allahumma has said that someone who is regular
in the Quran will be saved from the state that Allah has talked
about people in old age when they forget everything Alzheimer's
disease, and this has been tested. So all those who have trying to
prevent Alzheimer's disease but extra sleep and exercise and all
of those regular recitation of the Quran memorizing the Quran has
special things that are going on. So please do that. And as we know
it is Allah smart Allah has called it a Shiva. It's cure healing from
many diseases, especially the spiritual ones.
So here Allah subhanaw taala talks about Malta hada The refuge is
with Allah alone. And as we said earlier, Quran is the source of
refuge for all calamities, whether they have the dunya or whether in
your matters of deen and therefore whenever you are faced with a
calamity, what you could do what you should do rush to open the
Quran and you will find relief in every harch
seeking protection, in his words is the same as rushing to Allah
subhanaw taala himself
because the Quran is not his creation.
These are the words of Allah subhanaw taala as He manifests
Himself through His words, okay. And then when we rush to the Quran
and we open the Quran depending on the states of our hearts, the
degree of clarity, you know, the suffer or the murkiness which is
called called Aura, or you know how cloudy Our hearts are, we will
find answers according to that from the Quran. So if you have
great deal of clarity in your heart of Eman and obedience and
all of that which has cleansed your heart with 10 Skia you will
find clear answers and solutions
for problems of this life and unfolding of many of the realities
the next hire Allah subhanaw taala says was good enough cecum Allah
Deena you're the owner of bombilla Dotty when she you read do not
watch her while atado I NACA unknown to read the zenith and
higher dunya wala to time and after for Nepal by Juan de
Khurana. What Da Hua Can Umrah who Furuta so Allah subhanaw taala is
studying the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam was built enough
Sagarmala Dena Yasunaga bombilla that even though she you reading
on a command from Rasul Allah Salah command from Allah subhanaw
taala to rasool Allah salAllahu Alaihe Salam that you force
yourself to be in the company of those who call on Allah on the
Lord
morning and evening
which means constantly
for what purpose Yuri do now
with the goal of seeking the wedge or the countenance of Allah
subhanaw taala and when
When we talk about the word of Allah means seeking only Allah is
not saying seeking is Rama seeking His guidance because when you seek
ALLAH, all of that comes with that. His Rama comes with that his
guidance comes with that his protection comes with all of that.
So they are they're seeking Allah. Should we seek Jana? Yes. Should
we should we seek protection from Nara? Yes. But who is in charge of
all of that? Allah? So we seek the source, all of that comes as part
of that. Okay. So these are people who Allah subhanaw taala talks
about and this is, according to some of the Mufasa rune MUFA
saloon was revealed on a special thing that the Quraysh the leaders
of the Kadesh came pursuing masala listens and were willing to sit
with you and we are willing to talk to you and all of that. But
it's against our, you know, nobility to sit with this riffraff
that you've gathered about.
The slave Bilal the slave kebab is Abdullah animus old, the Solomon,
the son, so I will say these are low class people, they are poor
people. We can sit with them, you get rid of them, and we will give
you our chance
to make this proposal
Allah subhanaw taala answers
what spirit enough Sagarmala be with these people, these poor
people.
Why? Because Allah has enriched them and elevated them through
their feet. These are the people the earliest Muslims and they're
saying get rid of them who are embraced Islam other than one or
two rich people like sale now because they can outsmart all of
these people who are poor.
So, Allah subhanaw taala is
elevating them through this. And again, what is importance Sahaba
Rasul allah sallallahu Sallam is being advised,
be assigned to them, being the son of these people, because of their
faith.
And it's a command from Allah subhanaw taala definitely not the
button for Cara is considered a blessing of Allah subhanaw taala
to be with the people. Now we have to look at ourselves.
We have to look at ourselves. The Prophet salallahu alayhi salam
said that there will be people who are, you know, looked like
beggars, that headed disheveled and they come and knock on the
door and people will turn them away. But should they raise their
hands and accept beloved, Allah will grant whatever they want?
There are people
the Prophet sallallahu alayhi salam told us that the poor and
poor is poverty is not a virtue in itself. But these four Quran are
people who have nobility, who have faith who have all of that yet
they are poor, that they will enter paradise 500 years before
the wealthy
because they have left less this app to to give less less
temptations to go astray with all the wealth that is given to
you URI donor wedge
URI donor Errata. Marie, I am a married seeker of Allah subhanaw
taala okay.
So what is the character should who wants to be a Marie of Allah
to be seeking Allah smile?
There are certain characteristics of a true marine of Allah subhanaw
taala which our scholars have enumerated.
Not in any particular order to become a beloved of Allah buy a
lot of naoise
Remember the Hadith that no servant of mind comes closer to me
than what I have made for him. And then he keeps coming closer to me
with Nevada till I love him. So on who's seeking Allah will do a lot
of no often till he becomes the Beloved of Allah.
Number two to be pure Hollis in giving Naseeha to Nicoma to people
who need it. Now see her advice now see how has to come from
concern for somebody. That should be the one I am concerned about
you I'm concerned about. Therefore based on my concern, I give you
advice. I'm not giving you advice because there is something in it
for me I'm looking for my advantage okay. That is holos in
giving us
it if you have genuine concern for somebody, the advice that we will
give them is going to be the best of advice
once which is
An
intimate solace comfort in Hello by yourself because
you're finding that pleasure that internal peace in halwa because
there's no one there you can think of a last
supper in dealing with the cam that you are persevering and
steadfast in the commands of Allah calm. Okay? Now aka the Facom are
how come what is called automatic LiFi which Allah has, has made you
responsible for, like, you know, you do this, don't do that. And
that is that our outcome, which are Tarquini, which is that Allah
subhanaw taala sends you away certain things, that under all of
those circumstances you have perseverance and suburb and that
you give preference to Allah's commands, and not to what you want
or what you like.
That the person who's a true Merida of Allah, seeking Allah has
higher in front of Allah HYAH that modesty, that shyness that Allah
is watching me I need to do things in a certain way at all times in
all places, whether we are alone or in company
and to spend all of one's efforts in pleasing the beloved which is
Allah subhanaw taala
and then opening oneself to avail of every opportunity, every path
that leads to Allah. Okay, now some of us may have one area that
we have expertise in somebody's very generous, okay, you hold on
to that, but just don't hold on to that somebody finds it very easy
to fast fasting all the time. somebody finds a lot of Quran, all
of that. So, all of that but person should look for every
sunnah. Because every sunnah leads to Allah subhanaw taala so you
look for every road that leads to Allah Let me fulfill my goal I
perform every Sunday at least once in my life
and then I whatever is Allah has made easy for me I continue with
that.
And then an important one it's called an Advil hormone. Being
content with being an unknown
not looking for name and fame
we should not be servants of fame
how many likes do I have? How many followers do I have? What hashtag
we should worry about the celestial hashtag
how many likes did hola you
can have a heart that does not find comfort and remains agitated
till it reaches its Lord in other words never resting with what I
have done till you reach that's a true word who has reached his
destination
and that destination remains always in front of you.
Solomon Allah salaam the talking about these poor people that
Allah's one talks about
cinema less cinema, you know was
a prophet and the king
Nabil
and a Malik. So when he used to come out, all the wealthy people
said Come sit with us, come sit with us, come sit with us. He used
to go past all of them. And he used to go and sit as a king. He
used to sit with the poorest of people and said that I am a
miskeen among the Misaki
okay, I'm a swell allah sallallahu alayhi salam was offered Gibreel
Allah Salam came Allah wants to know you want to be Nabil al
Malik, Nabil abd you want to be a Nabi who is a king or an abbey
who's a slave? What did he choose?
He said, I am a slave. I eat like a slave. I sit like a slave.
So being poor is an attitude. This is there's no praise, nothing
praiseworthy about being poor, but it's being humble.
So these are people who call on their Lord.
When they say call on the Lord morning and evening what is that
meaning of call?
The
good deeds, devotional means supplication, devotion,
submission, all of those are means of calling on Allah subhanaw
taala.
Desiring only him, desiring only him,
seeing him in everything, which is comes from love from hubba
Ultimately
muhabba love takes precedence over fear and everything else.
So some of you who are older
there used to be a song
the song was What's Love Got to do with it? Anybody remember?
What's Love Got to do with it? Everything
everything
because you will be with the one you love
there is one narration of Rasulullah Salallahu Salam
a bar
which says yeah Allah
let me live like the poor, like the miskeen let me die like the
poor.
Why sure ni, Fi, Zoom rattling Masaki and raise me gather me in
the company of the Misaki.
It did not say gather the Messiah keen in my company, because he is
the ultimate companionship. But look at that, that poverty, he's
honoring them by saying Oh Allah, they are honored. Gather me with
them.
Then Allah subhanaw taala says about this then he confirms that
by saying Allah Tada i NACA, three Xena tell her to dunya and don't
let your art your two eyes go beyond these poor people who are
in dhikr of Allah to the ones who have a lot of the dunya Zenith
inherited dunya don't look beyond them at the rich and powerful
seeking or being impressed by them.
What is our state
we always look up to the rich and the wealthy and the powerful
and we take them as a model of success.
Just remember Allah gives dunya to the believers and to the
disbelievers sometimes more to the disbelievers. Allah gives to the
righteous, and to the evil, many times more to the evil and Allah
gives to the one who he loves. And he also gives it to the one he
does not love. So giving up the dunya is not a sign a delusion
that Allah is pleased with me he loves me. And this is a fallacy
that we frequently our
subject.
If that wealth makes you heedless of Allah then it is a punishment.
It's the Raj it's a delusion.
And Allah SWAT says about these people so don't look at them for
the zenith inherited dunya to read as if Rasul Allah is meant for us
he had no desire for them desiring that wala to tear a man up for
Nepal. But one day Karina now the opposite those were remembering
Allah morning and evening. He says, and those don't want out
today I don't follow those whose hearts we have made heedless of
our remembrance, because they're too busy with their wealth and
plots and plans and whatever they are doing, you know, trying to get
more for themselves frightfully wrongfully oppressing others and
cheating and, and all of that the tyrants of the dunya. To have all
of that don't follow them, what Baba Hawa, when these are the
people who do etbr They follow their Hauer and Hawa is those
inner inclinations, the inner desires for things in an
imbalanced way intellectual and others Okay? Allah smart Allah
says, Do not these people have been they don't work out of Buddha
out of guidance, but out of our, their own desires and their own
personal inclination, intellectual and otherwise, what can Umbra who
Furuta and their affairs have exceeded all bounds.
So sometimes wealth is what we call estate Raj, which is Allah is
giving somebody who's doing wrong, more than gift after gift after
gift
to blind them
and to increase them in their delusion that I'm doing great.
Because when you are blinded that way, you will never do Tober so
that's punishment from Allah give them so they will never consider
doing Tober
and after this, we would
come to the next is it's been a while what do you say? Should we
hear people looking tired?
Shall I think it's appropriate to end here, which is
the iron number.
Inshallah so next time, we will continue from
there I am number 29. I mean, I'm willing to continue but people
look a little tired, right? Everybody's tired.
How many think we should go over as a continue? Raise your hands?
345? How many things enough?
You can raise your hand? Don't be shy, don't be shy.
People have lots of reflection and questions that we can stop here
and do that because it's going to consume some time to write. Yeah,
because he always has.
So we'll stop here. And inshallah we'll start from 29. And then
we'll do the second story next time which the two friends one of
whom was given a lot of wealth, the trial of wealth. So in sha
Allah, as we said, before, we study this, to internalize it, to
derive lessons from it. And what we learned, we act on those, it's
not just, you know, oh, it was an interesting exercise, or it was,
you know, I learned something about the history, it's about how
it translates.
We've talked about what the characters of a true moral of
Allah should be, we've talked about what the character of a
photo are all of those, we should think about them, reflect make
notes on them, and then put yourself in that, where do I fit
here? And that's what's required. So may Allah subhanaw taala, help
us to achieve the status that he wants from us for suffer through
ABD and then have a special bond with him, in grant us all
closeness to him. May Allah subhanaw taala gather us with the
poor, who will be gathered with Siena Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam
and his companions and his family. The last one, ALLAH forgive our
sins. May Allah subhanaw taala Illuminate our hearts illuminate
our lives. May Allah subhanaw taala guide our families to that
which he loves. May Allah smart Allah bless our hosts, and all
those who helped
in this gathering because whoever arranges it will get the reward of
everybody in Allah's generosity. And just remember that all this
hour and 20 minutes that we spent, we were being mentioned on the
OSHA of Allah subhanaw taala. So I was hopeful that you would say
please continue, because I want my name to be continued to be
mentioned on on the ash, but it didn't happen. We haven't reached
that level of Jafar Asad.
Subhana Allah humma hum thickness shadow alive
