Well my new to a la hora Sula, who for the first 1000 Alvina All Praise and Glory be to Allah we thank him and we seek His help and his guidance and his pleasure and his forgiveness and His protection from the evil whispers within us and from the consequences of our evil deeds. For whomever Allah guides Duncan ever lead astray and whomever Allah leaves the strain on can never guide and we testify that no one is worthy of our worship and our devotion with Allah and Allah

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

alone without any partners.

00:01:15--> 00:01:23

The true supreme King and the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa early wa sallam was in truth, His Prophet and his servants and His messenger.

00:01:25--> 00:01:36

After reminding myself I knew with the Taqwa of Allah, for Allah who will not accept from us anything but it and will not reward us for anything but our actions that are driven by it.

00:01:37--> 00:01:43

And will not have mercy on any people except the people who carry it may Allah make us and you have the people of Taqwa

00:01:44--> 00:01:50

the people of Taqwa are the people that carry a consciousness of Allah that dictates their actions.

00:01:52--> 00:01:57

But what does it mean a consciousness of Allah and how much consciousness is minimum,

00:01:58--> 00:02:26

enough to drive you to obey Him and to keep you from disobeying him Subhana who was Allah so that you are correctly defined as his servant you serve him, which is the definition of Islam to submit as a servant to Allah subhanho wa taala. And there are many ways to visit this to remedy this to strengthen this, none of which are like the Quran, and have the qualities Allah azza wa jal described his Quran which is the quality of Asa

00:02:28--> 00:03:04

way now who like he tebboune as is, this is a book that is as easy and as easy simply put is mighty. Simply put his mighty, the scholar said one of the reasons why the Quran is called Aziz is because those who are close to the Quran, it feeds the mightiness of Allah inside of them meaning their awareness, consciousness dako of how mighty Allah is. You see, when the Quran came to the people of Arabia, you might wonder why does it speak so much about who Allah is and how great Allah is? Because these were people that were not atheists.

00:03:06--> 00:03:34

They are people who believed in Allah, but the minute we all mightiness, the greatness of Allah was not heavy enough inside them to dictate their lives. It got blurred. And likewise, by the way, though it is another topic. Atheists to begin with are not addressed in the Quran for that very reason. Because we all know we all believe that there's a higher power, but our awareness of just how powerful he is,

00:03:35--> 00:04:02

is what determines whether we can act like he doesn't exist, claim like he doesn't exist, or say it in theory, but it doesn't show much in our actions. That is why the Quran speaks so much about there is of Allah throughout, to strengthen that in you to make you a person that would earn Allah's pleasure that would be rescued from Allah's wrath and his anger subhanho wa Taala were Inaho lucky, terrible disease. That's what the book came to do.

00:04:03--> 00:04:24

And how do you know that you feel about Allah Almighty Ness enough? Allah is great enough in your life, as we said, do you cut corners as if you can escape his mind? Do you not believe that he is enough to compensate you? Or is he capable enough of catching you? Why else would you cut corners?

00:04:25--> 00:04:59

And that is why check your commitment to his lifestyle, the white lifestyle he mapped out for you called Islam. So an easy example. You believe because you have to believe I don't want to say in theory, but in principle, yam have Allahu riba or your bid for the car that Allah will cause interest interest bearing transactions riba usury to crumble. You believe Allah can do that and will do that he said he would while your Visa card and he will cause charity to grow

00:05:00--> 00:05:14

charity will multiply your wealth to the degree that you are sure that Allah can and will hold true on that statement, you will act on it, you will stay away from river and you will invest in sadaqa.

00:05:15--> 00:05:23

Likewise, why are people vengeful, many times because they feel like they have to take back their rights and

00:05:25--> 00:05:49

take on their own project to get their rights back, take on revenge. But many people when they are resigning to Allah, yes, they will ask for their rights, but they will not cut corners and be hasty about getting their rights back. And that is why in a very beautiful connection, the Prophet alayhi salatu salam said mezzetta Allahu Akbar, then we have fallen ill

00:05:51--> 00:06:39

that Allah will not increase a servant for his forgiveness. Except in is except in might and honor and greatness. Why? Because you were not able to forgive except because you knew that Allah will take care of me. When you think it's totally up to you, you become vicious. But when you believe that Allah is Allah Aziz, you will forgive people or you will at least be just with them. Because you don't feel cornered Allah is on my side. And I know what to Allah. And so he grants you an understanding of his Reza with your nearness to his book, and he grants you the ability to live in light of this. So once you see his book, you frequent his book enough. What is there is of Allah

00:06:39--> 00:06:43

What do you find in the Quran about Allah's Name and as He is the Almighty.

00:06:45--> 00:06:49

The scholar said that you will find Allah's Name the Almighty,

00:06:50--> 00:07:21

supplying you with basically three dimensions of his own mightiness his has three major components that are addressed to help strengthen the that sentiment in you in the Quran. So they said when Allah Baraka was Allah says in the law he interrupts that Allah He Jamia is my belongs to Allah, all of it. They said, it doesn't mean that just Allah owns all of power. It means all of the dimensions, all of the aspects of being Aziz belong to him, and they are three in the Quran.

00:07:22--> 00:08:07

The first of them is straightforward strength. The Quran tells you about just how strong Allah is so strong that you can never fully estimate his strength. It's beyond the human comprehension. Where do we find that? Allah Lavaca with Allah said, my father Allah haka de in Allah kawaii Yun Aziz, they do not give proper estimate to Allah, Allah is certainly strong, mighty. So the strength and might have Allah was not given proper estimate to, of course, no one can properly estimate it. But the idea is they didn't give it enough regard. The fact that he is strong in his mighty, mighty and strong, strong and mighty

00:08:09--> 00:08:15

which means you we should get better at realizing estimating Allah strength as best as we can.

00:08:16--> 00:08:20

How do you do that? If I am Rahim, Allah He gives the good I'll call it an exercise.

00:08:22--> 00:08:27

He says, I want you to imagine the greatest of the creation of Allah.

00:08:28--> 00:08:43

One of the greatest creatures Allah ever created are the angels that carry his Mighty Throne. Right? They are eight on the day of judgment. He said, I want you to compare the difference in strength between the angel that carries Allah's throne.

00:08:45--> 00:08:46

And

00:08:48--> 00:08:49

a mosquito.

00:08:50--> 00:09:26

Already, it's difficult to just do this mental exercise. He said and then think about if Allah were to take the strength of all of his creatures, the strength of all people, all people and all animals, and give them to one man. Okay, imagine how powerful this man would be how strong this person would be. He said, and then the strength of this one man. Notice how he wants you to spend time on this. That's why he's dragging it. He says, take the strength of this one man, and turn all of Allah's creation as strong as this man.

00:09:28--> 00:09:32

He said the strength of all of those now together

00:09:33--> 00:09:59

compared to the strength of Allah. There's a bigger difference between this and that. Then there is between the angel that carries Allah's throne, and between the mosquito meaning it's beyond our comprehension, but realize just how grand Allah strength is. This is the first aspect of strength the first aspect of it is that you find being stirred inside you when you're close to the Aziz book, The Mighty book the Quran.

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

In the second they said is realistic and that is not meeting anyone Allah's independence you will find that Allah is described as him not needing anyone or anything subhanahu wa taala. And why is that important? Because sometimes one of us in a small circle in our little small world can be stronger in some way than everybody else. But that doesn't mean we're not sacrificing. Right? Like on a very simple, shallow level. The strongest arm wrestler in this Masjid doesn't mean he will not struggle with the guy who's second place. He'll just come out on top after struggling. Okay. Allah's independence means subhanho wa Taala he doesn't need anything. He's not lacking anything. There's no

00:10:48--> 00:10:49

sacrifice involved.

00:10:50--> 00:11:08

There is no sacrifice involved at all. Unlike us. Our tiny corners of strength many times involves sacrifice. So the Quran purges clears that notion from how we believe about Allah there is no sacrifice whatsoever. There is no need there's no supplement.

00:11:09--> 00:11:31

And that is where do you find this in the Quran many is of them is when Allah azza wa jal says Subhana Rob be carob biller Is that yummy, yummy food. Glorified is Allah the Lord of the Almighty from these things that they describe? What are they describing? That God has a partner that God rests on the seventh day that Allah is above all of these things?

00:11:33--> 00:12:10

Rub bill is because he is the Lord of Might subhanho wa taala. Even as a courtesy something we can rehearse even closer to home and for paying attention after our Salah and in the evening and morning, when we're supposed to make our visit our sessions of remembering Allah that are so emphasized Allah says what inadequacy he says men the Lezzy yesh, Pharaoh in the WHO inlab evening, who is the one that intercedes for somebody else, like who can step in between Allah and one of his servants. What does that mean? That means Allah is independent, he doesn't owe anybody any favors. You don't have the right to step in and say Oh Allah, let this person go, oh, Allah help. You don't

00:12:10--> 00:12:29

have this right. He'll do it out of his generosity. He granted us permission for shefa to intercede our province offer lemma intercede and the angels will intercede. And the Shahadat will intercede, and the righteous will intercede. Yes, but he doesn't know body can intercede without his permission, because he doesn't owe anyone anything. He's independent.

00:12:31--> 00:12:47

And he's not afraid of backlash from anyone. He's not dependent on pleasing anyone, none of that. That is the second component of Allah is that is his independence. So strength and independence. The third and last of them, the scholar said Is Allah God,

00:12:48--> 00:12:49

or Allah is Malik.

00:12:51--> 00:12:58

Mulqueen sovereignty. molk means control, that Allah is always in control. That's part of him being the Almighty.

00:12:59--> 00:13:10

How is that different from strength and independence? Because a person may be strong, like if we're just talking on our level, and a person may not struggle, right.

00:13:11--> 00:13:53

But that doesn't mean they're always acting on their power. But this means that Allah has power, Allah's decision Allah control is never absent, if something exists is because Allah permitted for it to exist. It's never inactive from any ounce of his universe from any speck is involved always. And if something is non existent it because he chose for it to be non existence of Anahata Allah and you find this in the Quran in surah le Emraan. Among so many other places, these are samples of these dimensions of Allah doesn't sort of Le Emraan code in their home and Malakal mode, say Oh Allah, owner of sovereignty of Dominion Mulcaire doesn't mean ownership.

00:13:55--> 00:13:58

It means sovereignty, which is controlled.

00:13:59--> 00:14:14

Meal could mean ownership Multis control over what you own, or control over a Dominion space. Say Oh Allah, owner of all control of all dominion to a deal Malcolm and Tasha you give control to whoever you will

00:14:16--> 00:14:24

What time's your own mole kami man Tasha and you remove you pluck the minion kingdom from whoever you will.

00:14:25--> 00:14:59

You know, by the way, who else has enough to give away kingdoms and control over but Allah subhanho wa Taala nobody who gives away kingdoms with him. And at the same time, we are so limited as human beings we're so like possessive of our little control that the IRS has Allah plucks it because no one wants to ever give it up. No one wants to ever give it back. Because you only have so much you have a limited supply of control, a limited supply of resource a limited supply of dominion of authority. That's why the eyes he gives because he's so generous, and he plucks.

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

because no one will ever else gives the way he gives no one else gives it up once he gives, so he takes it Subhana Allah Allah potenziale mule commitment I shall continue the verse what Where is zoom and Tasha and you are the one who honors and empowers whoever you want. What to the lumen Tasha and you are the one who dishonors debasis the most whomever you want. Be a decal higher in your hand is all good. In NACA Allah Konishi in Cadiz

00:15:27--> 00:15:41

in your hand is all good. You are certainly over all things capable. May Allah fill us with the weight of his desire to understand it and live by it Allahumma Amin and to bring us closer to his ID his book Allahumma Amin Aquila Kohli has our stuff for Allah Allah Almighty Allah.

00:16:03--> 00:16:31

hamdu Lillahi wa salatu salam ala Milena Viva Chateau a la ilaha illallah wa hola Sharika are shadow and Mohammed Abdullah who want to be you who also do it was not just the disbelievers in the time of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam who failed because Allah might and power and strength and dominion and independence was not settled inside of them. It was also those who have stepped in their faith.

00:16:32--> 00:17:12

And so they play began to play a tug of war between Islam and disbelief these were known as the Manasa thin why were they stuck in the middle and trying to short step in their Islam or half step in their Islam? Allah azza wa jal draws for us the picture and suitable manifesto and the chapter on them and he says, You have Kowloon Allah and Raja Anna el Medina de la, regional abdomen, hell Atal, they used to say once we get back to Medina today didn't want to fight they didn't want to sacrifice they didn't want to commit. And they took the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam and the Companions out of Medina saying we're with you. Then when things got hot, or things got serious, they went back

00:17:13--> 00:17:39

and they said once Mohammed and his companions return Elena Sato celeb we're going to remove them. Why? Because he's subjecting us to destruction. He's getting us involved in wars. And so we have to protect ourselves, protect our power. The assumption of power is what destroyed them. You have Kowloon Allah and Raja Anna el Medina tea they say once we get back to Medina, those who have risen meaning themselves they assume their mighty

00:17:40--> 00:17:44

will expel those who are lonely, meaning that believers

00:17:45--> 00:18:00

Allah azza wa jal responded, he exposed them by revealing this verse and he said, What Allah Hilah is there to worry about solely he was meaning and belonging to Allah is true mind and to His messenger and to the believers, but the hypocrites simply don't know.

00:18:01--> 00:18:11

And so that is the issue for you for your knowledge about Allah is his mightiness to begin to fade inside of you is where all of the problems happen.

00:18:14--> 00:18:56

May Allah azza wa jal empower us with our faith in Him and never allow us to assume as powerful anyone but him? May Allah help us engage our reality with optimism because of our belief in him, while our hearts internally recline and resign and trust in Him throughout? May Allah azza wa jal secure us from every vulnerability by virtue of us believing he is an ISIS and internalizing the depth of what it means to believe in Allah Aziz. Allahu McQuillan, our Hamner.
