or praise and glory belongs to Allah. We thank him and we seek his help, and his guidance and his pleasure and his forgiveness
and return to a lesson in protection from the evil whispers within ourselves. And the awful consequences of our interactions are a member of love guides. No one can lead astray and whomever are imperfect justice and wisdom leaves is not to guide and testify that none is worthy of our worship, our devotion, our dedication, our absolute love and humility and obedience both on love, along with value partners, the true supreme king of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him was indeed true. It was certainly His Prophet and his messenger and the best of his creation and the seal of His revelation. And the most beloved of the slaves of a loved one lot
of people have imagined we will have believed or possess, be mindful of among be fearful of love be dutiful to a lot in the manner that he deserves as best you possibly can. And do not leave this life Do not get caught off guard by death.
Except in a state of complete and total willing, loving, surrender to a state of Islam.
To begin and after welcoming our brothers and sisters to the House of Lords though agenda on the first Friday, the first tomorrow, which is the best of the days of the week, in this month of Ramadan, which is the best of the month of the year. There is nothing, there is nothing more worthy of being spoken about. But the purpose and the wisdom behind this month being so revered, being so blessing and that this is the month of the land, and that this is supposed to be the month where a person is on a journey, journey to find where his heart is, by using the most accurate into the Quran.
Our family alone time is a great companion of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he would say
if the arts are in their purest state, had they been pure, they would never be satisfied they will never have enough of the book of Allah
says do not ask yourself if you love Allah because you could lie to yourself. Don't ask yourself bad. Ask yourself where are you from his words, and from there you will be able to tell how much you love our lives.
And consider the four as being what it is the eternal constant renewing miracle. Consider that there is no human being alive ever created.
That you meet in your life
that can enter the depths of your heart nor can is wise words or soft speech or courtesy, whatever it may be, no creature, no creative thing can ever enter the depths of your heart twice.
And this is something we all know
But the words of the Creator, the enter our heart time and time again, it is the reviewing sign of the renewing miracle. And what we mean by that is you probably have chapters of the brand
that you memorize since your childhood. And you've come across them, recite them yourself, heard them recited in prayer and sermons, so many times more times than you can count them. But then there comes a moment where it just melts your heart, and it causes your skin to have goosebumps. And it reminds you that I am really distant from the bottom of this ocean, I thought I had gotten to the bottom of things. And it says if you're hearing it for the very first time, and we all know this, and we've all experienced this, even those who read the translation notice.
I don't want to go
himself. When the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam died in that first he could not handle the news. He was in denial regarding it, until the deal, came forward and said to everyone sit down and he stood in front of them and said, whomever worship we know that Mohammed has died. Whoever worships on love, know that our lives how you lay a mood delivery that ever dies. And then he recited the Quran. And he recited on was words, women who haven't met do need Lao Tzu as
a matter of
copy come and Mohammed is a messenger, so a lot more blessings be upon him. messengers died before him too. If he were to die, or he were killed, will you fall back on your heels, and it never turns back on their heels block harmala and release
options, I heard that. And it says if my legs were cut out from under me, I felt like collapse. He says, a shower to be added ahead he if he can tell me that. It's as if I had no idea. This verse was in the book of Allah, it just struck me, it struck me. It moved me like it never moves me before, though I've read it before. That is part of the miracle that we can all touch, how old and moves you. But what is it that causes the whole and to move you and not move you? Like when we get those moments of clarity, we should think like what in the world has been blindfolded to the brilliance of the world, and for so long, that I only see sparks of this so infrequently in my life? Why aren't we
impacted by the
regularity?
The most common answer given
is that we are suffering from a language barrier, we don't really understand the words of the Buddha. And that is only half of the answer. To be honest, that's the regular answer. And Ramadan is supposed to be our journey, we can't be satisfied with them. Why? Because there are people that don't have a language barrier. Many people speak Arabic. And they are moved by poetry by sharing, they are moved by songs by the sheep in the Arabic language, it could bring them to tears, but for some reason doesn't. So it's not exactly just languages.
And at the same time, there are people that don't know Arabic at all. And they find such an inner peace in hearing the Quran. And sometimes that many Arabs don't find it
just by hearing the words. So it's not just a language barrier.
And that's what I want to take out in this article.
It would help us to reflect to realize how it happened with the early listeners, the Muslims in the early Arabs, were going to be the ones the prophets of Allah sent to in Mecca. They were the masters of this language. They were the masters of Arabic, and they were moved by the world and even the non Muslims of them, but temporarily, only initially. They heard the word, the Milton, they found themselves making some juice when the plants that makes the juice they found themselves in voluntarily responding to the parameters. And moving on he says when he heard the four add, there's a sweetness to it. It transcends everything anybody says nothing can ever surpass this. We've heard
the poetry of he says this, they were moved by this. And then when they realize its power, they said no, no, we can't keep listening to this book. make noise when it's being played crack jokes and laugh and make a cluster make up make noise, so that the horrendous and make sure that other people can hear it either.
And then it stopped affecting them if they became of those people.
So it wasn't just the language barrier.
Some people felt this like the way that
he says I entered the mission in Medina.
He wasn't Muslim at the time.
And I heard the Prophet Mohammed Salah
reciting
from Sudoku. And when he comes to the verses, what are what says and fully
will be created out of nothing? Or are they themselves the creative, rhetorical question? And how do
you know? Or is it that they're the ones that created the heavens and the earth? No, they're not certainty
that you know?
Or is it that they possess the treasure scores of your Lord? Or are they the ones in control of their lives? He says, When I heard these words can be a little far ahead. My heart almost flew out of my chest out of happiness out of being moved by these words.
And he was able to retain that feeling because he responded to it. He did not turn a blind eye, embrace this love. The others, they will partition from you. So they didn't forget the language. Why did they start getting affected? It's not language. It's not just the language a lot. So a Gypsys? What that thought, for Anna, Jaya, what obeying the law even
when you recycle it for and above places between you. And those people who deny the hereafter deny resurrection, deny this religion, we placed between you a concealing barrier, a hijab, a veil, a partition that separates you from them. One of the greatest scholars, a service of clear I know one of the biggest worshipers of Islam. He said after reciting his verse to the people, he said to them, I said the owner might have any job, you know, this barrier is that pain between them and the end? They said What is it, he says for any job and
one that I had the job. He says this is the barrier of Allah is protective jealousy.
You know, when something should not be this way, someone should not be treating your wife that way, you have a protective jealousy, not the ugly entity, not the malicious entity. The just just the vibe type of jealousy belongs to a lot is the most perfect form of that quality.
It is a phrase where the quality could be abused could be misused, it's most perfect formalizing he has a protective jealousy. He says this is the barrier of protective jealousy, because and nobody is more jealous, more protective than a mother loves pie. What he's trying to tell them is a lot is above and beyond allowing those who take this book for granted for turning their backs on it is believing in it refusing to recognize the privilege for them to keep enjoying this privilege. Even if they have all the tools, even if they are the masters of the language, the masters of
this barrier of protective jealousy Allah is above that he's more protective than that of his words, to place them in the hearts to allow them to penetrate the heart that doesn't deserve them. It has many manifestations. It's not just those who disbelieve in it, it happens to us Muslims many times with a lesser level as well. They'll put Adam told us that even if you don't believe in this book, but you ignore its instructions, there will be a share of this barrier between you and the planet. You've been impacted by
a lot. So it just says whenever the shadow
had we wish that also dinner will be the Ruby we would have afflicted them because of their CDs. Why not? Oh berada Ruby him from last maroon and stamp out seal their hearts do to their feelings afflicted by sealing their hearts. And so they would not be able to hear
meaning because of those that are sinful. Their heart becomes heat seal. And so whatever they hear doesn't mean anything to them. It's of no benefit to them.
So person could be in the most blessed gathering. The Qur'an is being recited, the angels are present, the words of Allah are being explained. And everybody in the gathering is filling with the man, their eyes overflowing with the tears hopeful in the mercy of Allah and this person is using the exact same thing and he wants to know what time to leave
what he's thinking about, he's failed from the experience he wants, he's not hearing it. He's hearing it, but not the hearing that will benefit. It's not penetrating, it's falling at his ears. It's not penetrating the hearing of his heart, he's not hearing his heart anymore.
And so these sins are of what caused a mother to separate or at least distance a person from his book, The the sins, you commit the ignoring of the instructions of the order, and they prevent your mind from being able to understand the code.
And they prevent your heart from being able to reflect on the poor. And those are two different things. Why? Because the Quran happens at three levels. By the way, your recitation of the Quran happens at three levels. And in those levels are many experiences, a person resides in his tongue.
Like any amount was in prayer, and then a person understands the poor and with his mind.
But then there's a person who the poor and reaches into his heart,
the person who's the poor and understanding with his mind is like me now I would not be able to translate the verse if I didn't understand it, or if I wasn't thinking about it. So I therefore add is it has reached my mind? Right, my claim of understanding is because in my mind, that does not mean it has reached my heart. And this is what we're trying to get this ranking down for.
And then there is another barrier between a person and the book of Alonzo church. And that is not because you're necessarily ignoring the instructions, meaning the prayer in the fasting in the charity, and the humility and the goodness of the parents and keeping drivers going and looking after your neighbors and not spilling a loaf of blood and up fornicating. And joining us, right for anyone's ego standing up for justice, not those things. But when a person is a step before that is where the barrier begins. And this whole hook was obviously a thinking demonstration. We want to get to the bottom of this once and for all, why aren't I
this is when a person starts getting known. That's where he would disrespect the local brick wall over its rules. He gets numb, because it becomes a habit for him getting numb to its greatness, the greatness of the app. And so they read it fine, but they read it habitually. They read it mindlessly. They read it carelessly, they read it rushing, leaving, all of these things are aside a manifestation of a person not coming in touch with the greatness of this book.
Because that's normal. By the way, when you repeat something, you you kind of become numb to use its word. But when Allah tells you some kind of modality, you must recite, and Fatiha over and over and over and over and over and over again. It doesn't mean it's pointless, it doesn't mean it loses effect. That means it's supposed to renew meanings in you. It's supposed to fill you with surrender and fee meanings, components of surrender and faith every single time and recycles.
And, you know, the mystery is already getting filled up before halfway through the home. So please just fill in any gaps here for the next year on the front, we'll make more than one time of prayers, please try to accommodate your brothers and sisters really in the feminine, and bless those that fill the gaps.
And so getting numb to the greatness of the poor and when a person just he visits the poor and casual, that's the point. He visits the hotel infrequently visits the forehead, carry the seat rushing these things. After a while they cause a barrier to happen into the heart, a barrier occurred to be drinking the art from the reality of this book. You know, that's why a lot of soldiers said it was time Pat's not taking it seriously. He said lm Latina haven't had time yet.
For those who believe you say you believe in this book, and tough shampoo medically that that their hearts freeze, melt, surrender become humble from this reminder of of law, from the reminder of luck that Listen, listen to what and not be like the people who received the book before the kilometer.
And then a long time, they got nothing. They allow themselves to get number over a period of time didn't happen overnight for
me, and so a long period of time passed over them for us at Hulu, and so their hearts dried up.
Their hearts became hard work can be a minimum facet wound, and many of them now are rebellions. And so the first barrier of ignoring the instructions being rebellious that happened because the hearts were hard, why did the hearts get hard with a long time pass after you receive the book treating and taking it for granted for a long period of time, not realizing this is and this is the whole solution to everything. You're fighting yourself to realize, these are the words of Allah. Allah subhana wa tada the glorify the majestic, the king of the cosmos, the master of the universe, the Creator of the heavens and the earth to Panama Island. You know, among you know how tiny you are,
know how tiny I am
our most respected grandfathers who aren't there, there's no people, you'd have to pay money to accept them.
You we came out from nearby to urinary passages out of your father than out of your mother.
And we carry I cross the cross every day and earwax. And our noses drool. We don't have an app to be laughingstock, and we become learned food very soon. And before that we carry waste inside of us inside of our stomachs,
walking toys, if you will, what are and then how tiny are we? What is the human being compared to the size of these planets.
And then this planet, this, this is an act of worship to realize this and think about the greatness of Allah. And then this planet compared to the sun. It doesn't even show up on the map, put them next to each other in proportion, they don't even show up. You can't notice the sun, the Earth is placed next to the sun. And the sun is 93 million miles away from you.
This Sun is the smallest star in your universe in your galaxy.
It just looks the biggest because it's so close. But those stars are far far away, are all bigger than than the sun.
Do you know how many stars are there? in the universe?
There are 300 million stars, or was a billion. You know what that means? Look, you're 93 million miles away from the sun.
You take a whole year just to go around the sun, not you.
The last planets in our galaxy takes hundreds of years to go around the sun. That's our solar system, our sun system. That's the smallest star in the middle. When you have 300 million 300 billion I'm sorry, not that it makes a difference, right? There are 300 billion stars in the universe, all of them with their own systems around.
And that is just our galaxies. That is just our Milky Way.
The scientists say in our observable universe, everything we know there's 100 billion galaxies. Of course, the numbers at this point make me no mean nothing to us, your brain fries and you overheat. And what does that even mean? 300 billion in two times 100 billion. And you're some spec.
And above all of that a law of syllogism is speaking to you. He lets you speak his words. So
that revives a veto. Yeah, I am pretty dumb to this.
The one who knows everything knows how big you think you are. Even though he's the only one that knows your reality. And he knows that every actor inside you and every actor inside the farthest star in the galaxy.
And these often,
you know, medically the non recyclable app. And then he would say to the people is Maryland in Puerto Rico that are missing the attention to what the truthful is saying from on top of his throne
puts a lot into perspective. When you do that. That's a fight you need to do you need to have
so that you don't become known. Mohammed McCarrick used to say men better
and four can never can never move on to
whomever the Quran has reached. That's you, that's me. It is as if Allah has spoken to you personally.
No one says, Well,
if a person will just to keep that in mind to estimate that properly what that means that I was speaking to me.
He said he would not consider his study of the program.
A task of burden, you wouldn't consider that we wouldn't consider it that anymore at all. Rather you would receive it
as a slave receives a letter from his master that was written specifically for him. Litem Milan we are going to talk about each says was written for you to read carefully and abide by carefully followed instructions. And it would be enjoyable. The person that does that really feels he's excited. He's excited. A monk wrote to me that I was optimistic animals there aren't a lot of many of the people
that will tell
you not getting past your loneliness will prevent you from unhappiness you ignoring instructions will prevent you from that excitement with the end, you know, put
me there to get
the bounty of mercy let them celebrate that. They said the bounty of a lot of the greatest bounty
and his mercy is that he made you open to people that he guided you to believe in that. So you believe me? Get excited about it. Don't let yourself fall asleep regarding that apparently
they held on to be if you don't remember your love the great scholars of Islam. He says that he came out of the the big mystery in Basra, Iraq, and a Bedouin man, a crude Bedouin man walked into the city on his
small camel with your running roll and a rocky desert sword.
And he he said to the more you He said, I'm a man from Benny last month. He's a journalist, scholar everybody talks about? He said yes. He said, Where are you coming from?
He says to him from a place called MSG where the words of the Most Merciful owners like
this is the most merciful has words that people recite, that human beings can recite. Think about how can how does it work? He said yes. He said to recite something. So he said, I began to really say this himself as an authentic record, I began to recite to to the dead yet, until I got to the verse of Allah, what Allah says, what he said that it is spoken to I do. And in the heads of is your provision, everything destined that you'll be provided with, and all that you've been promised. He says, when he stopped me, he said to me, You swear These are the words of the Most Merciful. He said, I swear by the one who creates, these are the words that Allah revealed to his prophet.
So the man said, Come help you. He gets off in this capital. And this love, there's this guy, and he cleans the candle, cuts it up, and tells him help me distribute this to the floor. Allah takes care of my provision he promises to is the most perfectly fine. And he broke his story that he broke his bow, not necessarily supposed to do that. Because relying on him was an action of the heart. But he did what he understood Allah told him to do. Just look at the responsiveness. And then he walked off after we finished the task of the day, the hard day's work of giving out his only ride is guarantee he walked out saying it is
what it
is, I forgot this guy
pulled it up in my memory.
Until one time I was around the Capitol. And I felt Amanda tugging at me.
And I turned that it was the same whether when men have become very skinny, perhaps are much faster.
And he said to me, the people find what Allah promised them to be true. Because I have found a lot of promises to be true. He took care of me.
Then he grabbed me and he pulled me behind my coffee, coffee. And he says to me, Chef, tell me more of our words, the Most Merciful his words, is so I began at the same school, and I got to the office center in spoken woman,
and in the heavens, your provisions and what you were promised, and then I continued the very next audio, for Sella, he was where he is, he swears by the Lord of the heavens meeting himself in level that it is true. In the same manner is a reality in the same manner that you can speak is a reality this promises a reality. So he stopped me again. And he said to me who angered the Most Merciful causing him to swear, why is he swearing? Who doesn't believe him? Why isn't my man swearing and he kept saying that and seeing until he passed out, and they tried to wake him up with
the words of a loved one, your response to them at a time they brought him to a different place, a very different place, when we need to jump right to Speaker
The student
says, I read the
best three times. And I've been stopping every single a Why? Like, you know, if
I was a non Arab say, okay, you didn't know the meanings of the words. So he would ask him once you understand, if he know how long does it take to start with every single item? What's that about? When did that come down because the narration says, and then to do it twice, okay, maybe you forgot something in the middle, but to ask every single item is two years, three times.
alone. So what about that one did come down? Let me
tell me again. What's he doing that he was enjoying you? It was dear to him. He was tasting the whole and by virtue of his dedication to it, this devotion to you, no matter how much as the scholars have everywhere seen the virulent generations of Islam, when they came for our bond, it was called turabian, which means alternating rests. No, that means, it means like they would rest on one leg. And then
other people in a different time or different place, they move nearly they will put crutches under them and stick them in the ground. They would kneel on a stick the whole night. Why would a person even do that? And it hurts It hurt them don't think it didn't hurt. Why? Because they enjoy it. They enjoy the sacrifices they enjoy. Who does something like
you know, shopping, you know what he says? If you think about how knowledgeable they are these generations,
they were the most knowledgeable people in this religion.
And in the process of setting them told them to only undertake actions, you can hand them a clue.
How do you understand what they were killing themselves, but he told them, don't overburden yourself, but they weren't the most knowledgeable. So why were they over? He says the only way to understand it is that it wasn't a burden.
It was delicious. That's what it was
crunches on.
And the only person that did them as the prophets of Allah already extended themselves. You know, a person who was forgiven for everything. And he stands there to pray until his feet crack his feet crack, crack crack from *, but he's likely standing. And he's happy about it. He says, shouldn't I be a great to enslave for that.
You know what
he narrates from that when the Muslims were coming back from the Battle of law. There was a man who swore vengeance from the enemy's army. And so he was trailing the Muslim army when the Muslim stopped for camp
to camp for the night, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, who will guard us by night. So two men from allegedly assaulted will take turns and we'll do it the whole time with the scouts. And he's also gonna put them at the opening of the of the valley between the two mountains when the only place someone would come from while they were sleeping. And the Mojave fell to the first part of the night. And they say his name was alphabet initiative.
Japanese isn't it stood there. And he said, Let me make good use of my time. I'm not here anywhere I can't sleep. And so he turned to
this man who swore to spill Muslim blood caught and he sees the fingers that exceeds the man in front of him. So he takes out an arrow, please take out the guard.
And he shoots him and he sees the arrow violence. And this does work for NASA for law. He pulls out the arrow, an arrow, the moment you start hemorrhaging, and you pull it out, you read big things coming out. It's not a paper cut. It's an arrow. Like if these narrations scholars say we're not authentic, we wouldn't even know what to do with that things are some stories made up? It's a legend. And so he takes it out, throws it down and continues to break.
So the man's he thought he hits him. I thought I hit him but he didn't go down. He shoots another app and pulls it out and drops it
and it's very dour and he just rips it out of his body. And then finally after that, he made the rule. Perhaps he was getting dizzy now. He was gonna lose conscious mental core meaning he completed it and then woke up his friend his friend wakes up he says Allah I tell you what's wrong with you. Why didn't you wake me up when he sees the blood everywhere now like, what are you out of your mind? What did you do? He said, what law? We're not for me fearing that I will betray my trust that I was protecting the Muslim army entrusted by the Messenger of Allah. I was reading a solo I would have rather finished the ended I
then left the prayer without finishing. I would have rather finished the solo
These are people that were excited
and may have enabled us to, to leave behind every step somehow
Mr. surgeon, the most high says
assuming that they are
motivated
to show, oh you will believe respond to a lot of these messages
whenever they invite you to that which is going to give you life and no summary multiple and no that intervenes between a person and his heart, and that you will ultimately all together in front of every time that is in front of you, and opportunity to respond, to come to life.
You know, those happy moments you have a robot for whatever reason, those that spiritual joy you have there are people that teach this all year round, not just a lot.
And Allah knows that when Paradis recited not because the effort gets boring, but because of our human nature. He gave us in this deal the tools to not become numb. He told us exactly how but when the prescription isn't taken as prescribed, the effects are little or nothing.
So all the way that the dean taught us to keep the or and something prize in our lives is number one, you recycle for added to recycle at night. Look, everybody says I'm going to go the 30 days. And you should and you don't expect to be able to farm would start that habit in Ramadan.
Or would you kind of totally go home and pray to lock us and see these two archives at night are going to stay with me after all.
There's something very special about the planet knife. And that's why the laws don't get sent to the province.
So the assembly is one of the very first of the four activities to be revealed in Mecca, which means there wasn't much more to add to bring with. And yet the law says prayed the ninth half of it rather than less than that or a little more, with a little bit of prayer. Because the night and repeating the verses at night These are two secrets to unleash
to unleashing its power. As for the light
in energy as an ad ship to apo and we're up one more fever this night, it is more prompting more helpful, more impactful model and literally needs to set because this is the time and in the tongue and the heart component scientists.
That's the first thing. The second thing is the province also taught us to repeat I keep repeating them know the meaning even for granted the meaning fine, and then keep he prayed with one if the entirety of the night.
And all of us have to do the same thing as well, they would receive repeated 2013 until they realize what he's trying to tell me here.
You know, one of the early things he read,
he read, run into a paradise as wide as the heavens and the earth says
imagine a paradise is white is the heavens and the earth. And there isn't room for my two feet in it.
What is a man trying to tell me, right? When you want to
read that he is married. And he built the calendar. Now that expansion project. They say Oh Allah except from us. This is building a law's house and I told him not to be trying to see if it's good or not told them I want this and he did that. And it's still asking for acceptance. Why are we so secure? With repetition these meanings come.
And the last thing is changing up changing the way you recite memorizing makes it easier because you're not thinking about the next verse. And also the prophet SAW Selim used to like to hear so when you was like a little bit and you feel yourself your attention is going go hearing from somebody he saw a lot
of students attend recite. He said recite to you when it came down on you.
I like to hear it from others. He wasn't teaching him he wasn't testing him.
He just wanted to hear it. You know why? Because that's even more focused. Now.
They say the one who's recycling who had it, he's the one milking. As for the one that is here is the one drinking, there's no effort involved, his undivided attention is to the eye itself. And so changing these and there are so many motives to get behind the meanings. But the single greatest factor is who devote yourself find yourself to realize these are umah secret words kind of man one of the greatest of the world and in our hearts and put the beauty of the land in our lives and the lives of our families, the lives of our children. May Allah make the best of companions and guides for us in this dunya and we are loving it and competitive for us and degrees and they are not
