00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			The focus on on tizkia
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26
			itself and not the focus on other
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			elements of our Islamic dimensions,
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			which are all very important,
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			the focus on on this gear
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:34
			is,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			first of all, through my personal experience
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:41
			that,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			an intellect
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:45
			without,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			soft heart,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			without,
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			polished heart,
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:53
			without,
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			simply said, a beautiful heart.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:01:01
			Beautiful in terms of the traits of safat
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			and the characteristics
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04
			of that heart
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			of compassion,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:08
			of merciful love,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			of kindness, of benevolence,
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			of justice,
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			of fairness, of humility, of humbleness,
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			of forgiveness,
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			of
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20
			internal peace.
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			A heart without that
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			or an intellect without that is dry.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			And in our Islamic tradition,
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:32
			this dimension of the spiritual aspect of the
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:33
			aspect
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:37
			has always been very, very essential. Yes.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			Sometimes. At times,
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			some of us,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:42
			historically,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			have disregarded that,
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:51
			perhaps because of some factors, historic
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			or social or political
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			or otherwise.
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			And
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			to lose that dimension from our lives
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			is to lose
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:03
			the beating heart in our lives,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			to lose the spiritual dimension,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			the moral dimension
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:09
			consequently,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			and the ethical dimensions,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			from Allah's
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			is to lose the essence
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			of our deen.
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			Our deen,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			Islam,
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			wants us to,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			internalize the most beautiful traits
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:30
			and to externalize them in real life.
		
00:02:31 --> 00:02:34
			And in the absence of that process or
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			that work of cleansing
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			our traits and our characteristics and our thoughts
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			and our feelings and what stirs us and
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:43
			what moves us
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:46
			to do things or not to do things,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			to agree or to to disagree,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53
			to see beautiful or to see ugly,
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			to to live without that, without learning that,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			is to live with with the with the
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			with the absence
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			of the most important
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:06
			dimension,
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:10
			in our deen, Farasulullah sallallahu alaihi wasallam's
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:11
			purpose within
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			the sphere
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:14
			of the
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			tawhid, the affirmation, the active affirmation
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			of the oneness of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			Within the sphere of tawhid,
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			his mission as described by Allah to us
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			is essentially
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:42
			Allah says to us that, basically, that essential
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			practical mission of Rasulullah
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:47
			within the context of tawhid
		
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50
			is tazgiyah, is to cleanse and purge
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:52
			our hearts, our
		
00:03:53 --> 00:03:54
			internal realities.
		
00:03:55 --> 00:03:55
			Allah
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:57
			tells us
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:02
			After Allah
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:08
			swears, if you will, 11 times in Surat.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			At the end of that,
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			the answer of that the answer of that
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:17
			the answer of that that of that very
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:17
			strong
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:21
			means to
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:25
			swear for something because it's important the answer
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:26
			of that is.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:33
			Indeed has attained felicity
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:34
			or
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:36
			success or happiness.
		
00:04:37 --> 00:04:38
			The one who strives
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			to cleanse
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			his self.
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:44
			These are the main and essential reasons
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:48
			why we we are here to emphasize that,
		
00:04:49 --> 00:04:50
			because that's
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:51
			is essential
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:53
			to everybody's life.
		
00:04:53 --> 00:04:54
			And,
		
00:04:55 --> 00:04:55
			moreover,
		
00:04:57 --> 00:04:57
			is
		
00:04:59 --> 00:05:02
			a Whereas other sciences and other things in
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:02
			Islam,
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:04
			which are very important,
		
00:05:04 --> 00:05:05
			are many of them.
		
00:05:09 --> 00:05:10
			Is an individual
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:14
			obligation. Farb ul Kifaya is a collective obligation.
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			And, indeed, if we have the choice between
		
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18
			the 2, Farbawain
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:21
			takes priority over Farbawl Kifaya.
		
00:05:22 --> 00:05:23
			But if we can do them both, we
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:25
			must do them both as well.
